Forward Looking Statements 1 In the presentation that follows and in related comments by GMAC LLC ("GMAC") management, our use of the words "expect", "anticipate", "estimate", "forecast", "objective", "plan", "could", "should", "would", "may", "goal", "project", "outlook"," "priorities," "targets", "intend", "evaluate", "pursue", "seek" and similar expressions is intended to identify forward looking statements. While these statements represent our current judgment on what the future may hold, and we believe these judgments are reasonable, actual results may differ materially due to numerous important factors that are described in GMAC's most recent report on SEC Form 10-K, which may be revised or supplemented in subsequent reports on SEC Forms 10-Q and 8-K. Such factors include, among others, the following: securing low cost funding to sustain growth for GMAC and ResCap and maintaining the mutually beneficial relationship between GMAC and General Motors; changes in economic conditions, currency exchange rates, significant terrorist attacks or political instability in the major markets where we operate; changes in the laws, regulations, policies or other activities of governments, agencies and similar organizations where such actions may affect the production, licensing, distribution or sale of our products, the cost thereof or applicable tax rates; and the outbreak or escalation of hostilities between the United States and any foreign power or territory and changes in international political conditions may continue to affect both the United States and the global economy and may increase other risks. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. GMAC undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements unless required by law.

The specific products include retail installment sales contracts, loans, lines of credit, leases or other financing products.
