ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
General Motors Acceptance Corporation (the "Company" or "GMAC"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of General Motors Corporation ("General Motors" or "GM"), was
incorporated in 1997 under the Delaware General Corporation Law. On January 1,
1998, the Company merged with its predecessor, which was originally incorporated
in New York in 1919.
The Company is a financial services organization that principally provides
consumer and dealer vehicle financing. GMAC also provides commercial financing
to the apparel, textile, automotive supplier and numerous other industries. The
principal markets for the Company's automotive financial products and services
are North America, Europe, Latin America and Asia-Pacific. The principal markets
for the commercial financing products are North America and Europe. The Company
conducts insurance operations primarily in the United States, Canada and Europe.
In addition, the Company's mortgage banking subsidiaries operate principally in
the U.S. and have operations in Mexico, Japan, Europe and Canada.
BUSINESS SEGMENT EARNINGS
Consolidated net income for the quarter was $465.0 million, up 17% from the
$397.3 million earned in the first quarter of 2000. These earnings represent the
best quarter for GMAC since 1991. Reported results include a $34.3 million
favorable impact from a cumulative effect of accounting change due to the
adoption on January 1, 2001 of SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended.

Of the $34.3 million cumulative effect of accounting change, $43.7 million was
for automotive and other financing operations, $(8.2) million was for insurance
operations and $(1.2) million was for mortgage operations.
Net income from automotive and other financing operations totaled $334.1
million, up 27.5% from the $262.1 million earned in the first quarter of last
year. The strong results can be attributed to higher asset levels in North
America in the first quarter of 2001.
Insurance operations generated net income of $34.5 million in the first quarter
of 2001, down from the $62.4 million earned in the first quarter of 2000. The
decrease was due to industry-wide deterioration of loss trends in the personal
lines business, partially offset by favorable loss experiences in certain
commercial and mechanical programs.
Mortgage operations earned $96.4 million in the first quarter of 2001, up 32.4%
from the $72.8 million earned for the same period last year. The increased
earnings from mortgage operations reflect higher originations and increased
securitization activity as well as increased contributions from international
operations.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
AUTOMOTIVE AND OTHER FINANCING OPERATIONS
Financing revenue totaled $3,901.4 million in the first quarter of 2001, an
increase of $122.0 million compared with the first quarter of 2000. The growth
was mainly due to higher average retail and commercial and other loan receivable
balances, partially offset by a decrease in wholesale receivable balances.
Retail receivable balances increased due to continued retail financing
incentives sponsored by GM. Commercial Credit LLC's acquisitions of the
factoring businesses of Finova Capital Corporation and Banc of America during
the third and fourth quarters of 2000, respectively and increases in secured
notes contributed to the increase in commercial and other loan receivable
balances. The decrease in wholesale receivable balances was due to reduced
dealer stock levels at March 31, 2001 compared to December 31, 2000.
Annualized net retail losses were 0.75% of total average serviced automotive
receivables during the first quarter of 2001 compared to 0.60% for the same
period last year. The provision for credit losses, most of which relates to
automotive finance receivables, totaled $260.4 million and $107.4 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Higher outstanding
finance receivables along with increased net losses due to the slight
deterioration in economic conditions contributed to the increase in the
provision for credit losses.
United States New Passenger Car and Truck Deliveries
U.S. deliveries of new General Motors (GM) vehicles during the three months
ended March 31, 2001 were lower than comparable 2000 levels primarily as a
result of a decrease in the number of units produced in the industry. The
decline in financing penetration was primarily due to a reduction in
GM-sponsored leasing incentives.

------- -------
New deliveries financed 571 663
======= =======
The number of new vehicles financed in the U.S. during the first quarter of 2001
was lower than the first quarter of 2000, primarily as a result of a decline in
the number of vehicles produced in the industry. Additionally, the decrease in
operating lease units can be attributed to a shift from lease incentive programs
to special rate retail finance and other programs sponsored by GM.
GMAC also provides wholesale financing for GM and other dealers' new and used
vehicle inventories. In the United States, inventory financing was provided for
790,000 new GM vehicles in 2001 and 866,000 new GM vehicles in 2000,
representing 74.3% and 66.8% of all GM sales to U.S. dealers during the first
quarter of 2001 and 2000, respectively. Wholesale penetration levels increased
as a result of continued marketing initiatives and competitive pricing
strategies offered by the Company.
CONSOLIDATED INCOME AND EXPENSES
The Company's worldwide cost of borrowing, including the effects of derivatives,
for the first quarter of 2001 averaged 6.47% compared to 6.21% for the same
period in 2000. Total borrowing costs for U.S. operations averaged 6.56% for the
first quarter of 2001, compared to 6.32% for the same period in 2000. The
increase in average borrowing costs was a result of higher funding requirements
and increased use of the term funding markets during the period.
Consolidated interest and discount expense totaled $2,120.1 million and $1,909.6
million for the respective quarters ended March 31, 2001 and 2000. The increase
was due to increased borrowing costs in addition to higher debt levels which
were principally used to fund increased asset levels.
Other income totaled $781.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001,
compared to $519.6 million during the comparable period a year ago. The change
from the comparable period in 2000 was mainly attributable to increases in other
income related to sales of receivables which was the result of increased sales
of retail and wholesale receivables. Additionally, interest income on government
and other marketable securities increased due to the increase in cash and cash
equivalents. Increases in interest and servicing fees earned on receivables due
from GM also contributed to the increase.
5
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
CONSOLIDATED INCOME AND EXPENSES (concluded)
Consolidated salaries and benefits totaled $506.8 million and $469.7 million for
the respective quarters ended March 31, 2001 and 2000. The increase primarily
reflected continued growth and acquisitions at GMAC and GMACMG during 2000 and
2001.
Consolidated amortization of intangibles totaled $204.1 million and $154.1
million for the respective quarters ended March 31, 2001 and 2000. The increase
was primarily the result of increases in the amortization of mortgage servicing
rights as well as an increase in the amortization of goodwill. Amortization of
mortgage servicing rights increased due to the growth in the servicing portfolio
and increased mortgage prepayments from $120.6 million at March 31, 2000 to
$164.2 million at March 31, 2001. Mortgage servicing rights increased from
$3,478.8 million at March 31, 2000 to $4,275.4 million at March 31, 2001. The
increase in the amortization of goodwill was due to continued acquisitions at
GMAC and GMACMG during 2000 and 2001.
Other operating expenses totaled $913.4 million and $658.0 million for the
respective quarters ended March 31, 2001 and 2000. The increase was primarily
due to continued growth and acquisitions at GMACMG, GMAC and GMACI.
The effective income tax rate was 38.1% and 37.1% for the three months ended
March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The lower effective tax rate for the
three months ended March 31, 2000 was a result of decreases in accruals from
prior years based upon periodic assessment of the adequacy of such accruals,
primarily tax liabilities of non-U.S. operations.
INSURANCE OPERATIONS
Net premiums earned by GMACI and its subsidiaries totaled $503.8 million and
$462.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
This increase was a result of gaining new customers and expanding existing
customer relationships in the reinsurance area as well as current U.S. GMAC
mechanical marketing promotions in place.
Pre-tax capital gains and investment and other income at GMACI totaled $145.5
million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001, compared to $145.7 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 2000. The change was due to a decrease in capital gains,
offset by favorable investment income.
Insurance losses and loss adjustment expenses totaled $400.7 million and $360.4
million during the first quarter of 2001 and 2000, respectively. The increase
over prior year was primarily due to the recording of additional business in
2001 and the cost of higher loss frequency and severity in the personal lines
auto business.
Net income before the cumulative effect of accounting change for the first
quarter of 2001 was $42.7 million, compared to $62.4 million earned during the
same period in 2000. The decrease was due to industry-wide deterioration of loss
trends in the personal lines business, partially offset by favorable loss
experiences in certain commercial and mechanical programs.
MORTGAGE OPERATIONS
Mortgage revenue totaled $1,190.3 million for the first three months of 2001,
compared to $859.8 million for the same period in 2000. The growth in revenue
can be attributed to significantly stronger lending volumes due to the declining
interest rate environment. In addition, multiple acquisitions, including
GMACMG's acquisition of Nippon Asset Management in Japan in the second quarter
of 2000, have increased revenues from other lines of business.
6
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
MORTGAGE OPERATIONS (concluded)
During the first quarter of 2001, GMACMG loan origination, mortgage servicing
acquisitions and correspondent loan volume totaled $29.2 billion compared to
$13.1 billion for the same period in 2000. The increase was attributable to much
higher levels of originations and securitization activity due to the declining
interest rate environment during the first quarter of 2001. In addition, GMACMG
has significantly grown its wholesale/correspondent lending line of business
since last year. The combined GMACMG servicing portfolio, excluding GMAC term
loans to dealers, totaled $348.8 billion at March 31, 2001, compared with $336.2
billion serviced at December 31, 2000. The increase over year end was
attributable to increased production in the stronger mortgage business
environment.
For the first three months of 2001, net income before the cumulative effect of
accounting change was $97.6 million, compared to $72.8 million for the same
period in 2000. The increased earnings reflect higher originations and increased
securitization activity as well as increased contributions from international
operations.
During the first quarter of 2001, interest rates, including those on originated
loans for fifteen and thirty-year residential mortgages, declined substantially.
This activity increased mortgage refinancing activity resulting in a reduction
in the expected future cash flows that support the carrying value of the
mortgage servicing rights. To protect against declines in fair value of its
mortgage servicing rights, the Company administers a hedge program (Refer to
Note 4 to the financial statements in this document for a description of the
Company's hedging program). Subsequent to March 31, 2001, spreads between
mortgage rates, which drive changes in the value of the Company's mortgage
related assets, and the interest rates which drive changes in the value of the
Company's hedge instruments that are used in risk management activities have
significantly tightened while prepayments have continued to accelerate. As a
result, estimated fair values of mortgage servicing rights for risks not being
hedged have declined.
Using the respective interest rates in effect as of April 30, 2001 to value the
mortgage servicing rights and corresponding derivatives that hedge mortgage
servicing rights, the net potential negative effect of the risks not being
hedged (spread risk), hedge ineffectiveness, and loan prepayments is a reduction
in income of $80 million after-tax. This impact may change, as most of this is
unrealized at this date. Should this interest rate environment continue,
additional potential impairments could occur or be realized or should it
improve, the potential impairments could decline or be eliminated.
Furthermore, significantly offsetting the impact of these potential impairments
are several positive factors, including improvement in the Company's mortgage
securitization residual cash flows; an increase in mortgage processing fees and
interest income from mortgage loans held for sale; and lower funding costs due
to the interest rate reduction by the Federal Reserve on April 18, 2001.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
At March 31, 2001, the Company owned assets and serviced automotive receivables
totaling $193.1 billion, $7.4 billion above year-end 2000. The increase was
principally the result of increases in cash and cash equivalents, serviced
retail receivables, other assets, investments in securities, commercial and
other loan receivables, due and deferred from receivables sales, real estate
mortgages held for sale and mortgage servicing rights. These increases were
partially offset by a decline in net operating lease assets, serviced wholesale
receivables and notes receivable from GM.
Finance receivables serviced by the Company, including sold receivables, totaled
$114.2 billion at March 31, 2001, $1.7 billion above December 31, 2000 levels.
The increase was primarily a result of a $1.8 billion increase in serviced
retail receivables, a $0.5 billion increase in commercial and other loan
receivables, partially offset by a $0.8 billion decrease in serviced wholesale
receivables. Continued GM-sponsored retail financing incentives contributed to
the rise in serviced retail receivables. The change in commercial and other loan
receivables was primarily attributable to increases in secured notes as well as
continued growth at Commercial Credit LLC and GMAC Business Credit LLC. The
growth at Commercial Credit LLC was partially attributable to the acquisitions
of the factoring businesses of Finova Capital Corporation and Banc of America
during the third and fourth quarters of 2000, respectively. The decrease in
serviced wholesale loan receivables was due to reduced dealer stock levels at
March 31, 2001 compared to December 31, 2000.
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $6,181.5 million and $1,147.8 million at March
31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively. The increase was primarily
attributable to increased term funding activity during the period.
Other assets totaled $13,694.4 million and $12,021.0 million at March 31, 2001
and December 31, 2000, respectively. Of the total increase, $1,151.7 million was
attributable to the adoption of SFAS No. 133 (Note 4), which requires GMAC to
reflect the fair market value of its derivatives on the balance sheet.
Investment in securities totaled $10,037.2 million and $9,485.0 million at March
31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively. The increase was primarily
attributable to an increase in retained interests in securitizations due to
increased securitization activity.
The Company's due and deferred from receivable sales (net) totaled $1,590.2
million at March 31, 2001, compared with $1,159.3 million at December 31, 2000.
The increase over year-end was mainly due to an increase in cash deposits held
for trusts and interest only strip receivables due to two new sales of retail
receivables and one new sale of wholesale receivables.
The real estate mortgage inventory held for sale amounted to $6.2 billion at
March 31, 2001, $0.4 billion above December 31, 2000. The increased balance was
due to higher origination activity at GMACMG due to the declining interest rate
environment but offset by increased securitization volume.
Mortgage servicing rights totaled $4.3 billion at March 31, 2001, $0.3 billion
above year end. The increase was due to overall growth of the business.
Consolidated operating lease assets, net of depreciation, totaled $27,868.2
million at March 31, 2001, reflecting a decrease of $1,442.9 million from
December 31, 2000. The decrease was primarily attributable to a shift from lease
incentive programs to special rate retail finance programs sponsored by GM.
8
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY (concluded)
Notes receivable from GM amounted to $5.0 billion at March 31, 2001 compared
with $5.4 billion at December 31, 2000. The decrease was primarily due to a $0.4
billion decrease in a revolving line of credit GM has available with GMAC.
As of March 31, 2001, GMAC's total borrowings were $133.8 billion, compared with
$133.4 billion at December 31, 2000. The increased borrowings since December 31,
2000 were used to fund increased asset levels. GMAC's ratio of consolidated debt
to total stockholder's equity at March 31, 2001 was 9.4:1, compared with 9.5:1
at December 31, 2000.
The Company and its subsidiaries maintain substantial bank lines of credit,
which totaled $49.3 billion at March 31, 2001, compared to $48.1 billion at
year-end 2000. The unused portion of these credit lines decreased by $0.8
billion from December 31, 2000 to $37.6 billion at March 31, 2001. Included in
the unused credit lines at March 31, 2001 is a $14.7 billion syndicated
multi-currency global credit facility available for use in the U.S. by GMAC and
in Europe by GMAC International Finance B.V. and GMAC (UK) plc. The entire $14.7
billion is available to GMAC in the U.S., $0.9 billion is available to GMAC (UK)
plc and $0.8 billion is available to GMAC International Finance B.V. The
syndicated credit facility serves primarily as back up for the Company's
unsecured commercial paper programs. Also included in the unused credit lines is
a $12.3 billion U.S. asset-backed commercial paper liquidity and receivables
facility for New Center Asset Trust ("NCAT"), a non-consolidated limited purpose
business trust established to issue asset-backed commercial paper.
In June 1999, GMAC modified its existing syndicated revolving credit facilities
to combine the U.S. and certain European facilities into one syndicated
multi-currency global facility. Modified terms consisted of five years on
one-half of the facility, with a 364-day term (including a provision that allows
GMAC to draw down a one-year term loan on the termination date) on the remaining
facility. The 364-day portion of the facility was renewed for another 364-day
period in June 2000, including the provision that allows GMAC to draw down a
one-year term loan on the termination date. The remainder of the facility, which
had an original term of five-years, expires in June 2004. Additionally, there is
a leverage covenant restricting the ratio of consolidated debt to total
stockholder's equity to no greater than 11.0:1. This covenant is only applicable
under certain conditions. Those conditions are not in effect now and were not in
effect during the quarter ended March 31, 2001.
The Company utilizes a variety of interest rate and currency derivative
instruments in managing its interest rate and foreign exchange exposures. The
notional amount of derivatives increased from $102.8 billion at December 31,
2000 to $138.6 billion at March 31, 2001. The increase was primarily
attributable to an increase in financial instruments associated with GMAC's debt
along with an increase in mortgage related derivatives, consistent with GMACMG's
increased asset levels and off balance sheet commitments to originate and
purchase mortgage loans.
On April 6, 2001, Moody's Investors Service, while affirming its ratings on
GMAC, revised its outlook from stable to negative. Fitch affirmed its ratings on
GMAC on April 20, 2001.
9
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (concluded)
ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In September 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, which
supersedes similarly titled SFAS No. 125. GMAC adopted the disclosure provisions
related to the securitization of financial assets on December 31, 2000. All
transactions entered into after March 31, 2001 will be accounted for in
accordance with this standard. This adoption is not expected to have a material
impact on GMAC.
The Company adopted SFAS No. 133 on January 1, 2001, which is further discussed
in Note 4.
EURO CONVERSION
On January 1, 1999, eleven of fifteen member countries of the European Monetary
Union established fixed conversion rates between their existing currencies and
adopted the euro as their new common currency. Additionally, on December 31,
2000, Greece also established a fixed conversion rate between the drachma and
the euro. The euro trades on currency exchanges and the legacy currencies remain
legal tender in the participating countries for a transition period until
January 1, 2002. Beginning on January 1, 2002, euro denominated bills and coins
will be issued and legacy currencies will be withdrawn from circulation.
The Company has established plans to assess and address the potential impact to
GMAC that may result from the euro conversion. These issues include, but are not
limited to: 1) the technical challenges to adapt information systems to
accommodate euro transactions; 2) the competitive impact of cross-border price
transparency; 3) the impact on currency exchange rate risks; 4) the impact on
existing contracts; and 5) tax and accounting implications. The Company expects
that the euro conversion will not have a material adverse impact on its
financial condition or results of operations.
Certain aspects of the operations impacted by the conversion have already been
converted to euro. The remaining aspects will be converted throughout the year
2001.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The foregoing Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations contains various forward-looking statements within the
meaning of applicable federal securities laws and is based upon GMAC's current
expectations and assumptions concerning future events, which are subject to a
number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those anticipated.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 4. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
GMAC's primary objective for utilizing derivative instruments is to minimize
market risk volatility associated with interest rate and foreign currency risks
related to the assets and liabilities of the automotive and mortgage operations.
Minimizing this volatility enables the Company to price its finance and mortgage
offerings at competitive rates and to minimize the impact of market risk on
earnings of the Company. The Company utilizes comprehensive asset/liability
management strategies administered by the respective automotive or mortgage
operations management to achieve this objective. One of the key goals of the
Company's strategy is to match the interest rate characteristics of the interest
bearing liabilities with those of the interest earning assets, including the
assets and liabilities associated with securitization transactions. In addition,
the Company utilizes derivatives to neutralize the foreign currency exposure due
to foreign currency denominated debt.
Effective January 1, 2001, GMAC adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 133,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended by SFAS
No. 138. Under these standards, GMAC records derivatives on the balance sheet as
assets or liabilities, measured at fair value. Gains or losses resulting from
changes in the values of those derivatives are accounted for depending on the
use of the derivative and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting. The
after-tax cumulative effect of this accounting change as of January 1, 2001, was
$34.3 million favorable to income and $52.6 million unfavorable to equity. The
outcome of pending issues at the FASB and the Derivatives Implementation Group
could impact the amount of the cumulative transition adjustment presented
herein. Consistent with the provisions of the standard, prior year financial
statements have not been restated. The amount of the transition adjustment
expected to be reclassified into earings from other comprehensive income during
2001 is immaterial.
GMAC Automotive Operations
Interest Rate Instruments
GMAC is subject to market risk from exposure to changes in interest rates based
on its financing, investing and cash management activities. GMAC enters into
various financial instrument transactions to maintain the desired level of
exposure to the risk of interest rate fluctuations and to minimize interest
expense. The Company utilizes various contracts to manage interest rate risk
including: interest rate swaps that are contractual agreements between the
Company and another party to exchange the net difference between a fixed and
floating interest rate, or different floating interest rates, periodically over
the life of the contract without the exchange of the underlying principal
amount. The Company uses swaps to alter its fixed and floating interest rate
exposures. As such, the majority of swaps are executed as an integral element of
a specific financing transaction. In a limited number of cases, swaps, matched
to specific portfolios of assets or debt, are executed to achieve specific
interest rate management objectives.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 4. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
GMAC Automotive Operations (continued)
Interest Rate Instruments (concluded)
GMAC has elected to designate particular interest rate swap arrangements as
hedging the exposure to changes in the fair value of fixed rate debt
instruments. Any measured hedge ineffectiveness related to fair value hedges is
recognized as a net gain or loss in other operating expenses. For the three
months ended March 31, 2001, a net loss of $16.2 million was recognized
representing the ineffectiveness of fair value hedges.
The Company has also elected to designate other interest rate arrangements as
hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows attributable
to variable rate debt. Any ineffectiveness related to cash flow hedges is
recognized as a net gain or loss in other operating expenses. For the three
months ended March 31, 2001, there was no measured ineffectiveness in the
Company's cash flow hedges. The amounts related to GMAC's cash flow hedges that
are reported in other comprehensive income will be reclassified into earnings as
payments become due and the swaps approach maturity. Over the next twelve
months, $(29.9) million is expected to be reclassified out of other
comprehensive income and into earnings.
GMAC has certain interest rate swap arrangements that are not designated as
hedges under SFAS No. 133. These instruments relate primarily to swaps that are
used to facilitate securitization transactions.
Foreign Currency Instruments
GMAC is exposed to foreign currency risk arising from the possibility that
fluctuations in foreign exchange rates will impact future earnings or assets and
liability values from normal operations in foreign countries and various
financial instruments that are denominated in foreign currencies. Currency swaps
and forwards are used to hedge foreign exchange exposure on foreign currency
denominated debt by converting the funding currency to the currency of the
assets being financed. Foreign currency swaps and forwards are legal agreements
between two parties to purchase and sell a foreign currency, for a price
specified at the contract date, with delivery and settlement at both the
effective date and maturity date of the contract.

GMAC Automotive Operations (concluded)
Foreign Currency Instruments (concluded)
The Company has elected to designate certain foreign currency arrangements as
hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows attributable
to debt denominated in a foreign currency. Any ineffectiveness related to these
cash flow hedges is recognized as a net gain or loss in other operating
expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, there was no measured
ineffectiveness in the Company's foreign currency cash flow hedges. The amounts
related to GMAC's foreign currency cash flow hedges that are reported in other
comprehensive income will be reclassified into earnings as payments become due
and the swaps approach maturity. The Company expects that any amounts that will
be reclassified into earnings from other comprehensive income over the next
twelve months will be immaterial.
GMAC has elected not to designate foreign currency derivatives as fair value
hedges of foreign denominated debt as the accounting impact of hedge accounting
is approximately the same. The fair value of these derivatives is recognized in
other operating expenses and is substantially offset by the foreign currency
revaluation gains and losses related to the designated liabilities.
Mortgage Derivatives
GMACMG maintains an overall risk management strategy that incorporates the use
of various derivative financial instruments in the normal course of business to
manage inherent risks.
Fair-Value Hedges
Mortgage loans held for sale
GMACMG originates and purchases residential conforming and non-conforming and
commercial mortgage loans for sale into the secondary market. From the loan's
closing until its sale (warehoused loans), GMACMG is exposed to risk due to
changes in the fair value of the loans in its warehouse.
In order to accomplish the intended risk management objectives, GMACMG enters
into a combination of derivative instruments that are designated as hedges of
specific pools of similar mortgage loans held for sale. GMACMG uses the
following derivatives in managing the hedged risk associated with its mortgage
loans held for sale: (1) forward commitments; (2) over the counter options on
MBS; (3) options on treasury securities/futures; (4) constant maturity
treasuries/swaps (CMT/CMS) caps and floors; and (5) other instruments considered
derivatives under FAS 133.

GENERAL MOTORS ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 4. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (concluded)
Mortgage Servicing Rights
In connection with capitalized mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) related to
residential conforming loans, GMACMG generally hedges the risk of changes in the
MSRs fair value attributable to changes in the designated benchmark interest
rate risk. In connection with capitalized mortgage servicing rights related to
certain residential non-conforming loans, GMACMG hedges the total change in fair
value of the MSR asset.
In order to accomplish the intended risk management objectives, GMACMG enters
into a combination of derivative instruments that are designated as hedges of
specific assets or specific pools of similar MSRs. GMACMG uses the following
derivatives in managing the hedged risk associated with its residential MSR
assets: (1) call and put options on Treasuries and Swaps; (2) MBS, treasury, and
LIBOR future contracts; (3) CMT/CMS caps and floors; (4) swaptions; and (5)
swaps.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2001, GMACMG recognized a net loss of
approximately $46 million (reported as a component of Mortgage Revenue in the
Statement of Operations) which represented the ineffective portion of all
fair-value hedges. All components of each derivative's gain or loss were
included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness.
Cash Flow Hedges
GMACMG issues floating rate commercial paper and short-term debt to finance
long-term assets. Thus, GMACMG is exposed to interest rate risk due to changes
in short-term interest rates. To mitigate this risk, GMACMG enters into a
portfolio of interest rate swaps to convert a portion of its floating rate
commercial paper and short-term debt to fixed rate instruments thereby
minimizing its exposure to volatility in short-term interest rates.
Included in Mortgage revenue, GMACMG recognized an immaterial amount of hedge
ineffectiveness on all cash flow hedges for the quarter ended March 31, 2001.
Additionally, GMACMG expects that any amounts which will be reclassified to
earnings from other comprehensive income will be immaterial.
Trading and Non-Hedge Derivatives
GMACMG also enters into various derivative contracts for trading and
economically hedging certain trading assets and financial instruments carried at
fair value. Trading activities (which include derivative transactions that are
entered into for risk-management purposes and do not otherwise qualify for hedge
accounting) primarily involve the use of options and futures contracts on U.S.
Treasury instruments and Euros, and interest rate swap, cap and floor agreements
to hedge price and interest rate risk associated with its mortgage-related
securities. GMACMG also enters into other derivative financial instruments to
hedge its exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations on certain obligations
denominated in foreign currencies. Finally, the interest rate lock commitments
and loan purchase commitments for 1-4 family residential mortgage loans held for
sale are classified as derivatives and are carried at their fair value on the
balance sheet.
