NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In the opinion of management, the interim financial statements reflect all
adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring items (with the exception of
the accounting changes in 1994 to adopt Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 112, Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits, and
SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,
as described in Note 3), which are necessary for a fair presentation of the
results for the interim periods presented. The results for interim periods are
not necessarily indicative of results which may be expected for any other
interim period or for the full year. These financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, the significant
accounting policies, and the other notes to the consolidated financial
statements included in the Corporation's 1994 Annual Report to the SEC on Form

NOTE 3.
Effective January 1, 1994, the Corporation adopted SFAS No. 112, Employers'
Accounting for Postemployment Benefits. The Standard requires accrual of the
costs of benefits provided to former or inactive employees after employment, but
before retirement. The unfavorable cumulative effect of adopting this
8
10
GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED
Standard, determined on a discounted basis, was $1,220.1 million ($758.1 million
after tax), or $751.3 million ($1.05 per share) attributable to $1 2/3 par value
common stock and $6.8 million ($0.08 per share) attributable to GM Class H
common stock. The non-cash charge is primarily related to GM's
extended-disability benefit program in the U.S. which, under the accounting
Standard, will be accrued on a service-driven basis. The ongoing effect was not
material in 1994 and is not expected to be material in subsequent periods.
Also effective January 1, 1994, the Corporation adopted SFAS No. 115,
Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, which resulted
in a $241.0 million after-tax increase in Stockholders' Equity. This Standard
requires the recording at fair value of debt securities which are not expected
to be held to maturity and equity securities which have a readily determinable
fair value. Unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value are
included as a separate component of Stockholders' Equity. The primary effect of
this Standard for the Corporation relates to debt securities held by Motors
Insurance Corporation and certain equity securities. Marketable securities,
other than certain securities held by GMAC and its subsidiaries, are considered
available for sale.
NOTE 4.
Earnings per share attributable to common stocks have been determined based
on the relative amounts available for the payment of dividends to holders of
$1 2/3 par value, Class E, and Class H common stocks. The allocation of earnings
attributable to such common stocks and the calculation of the related amounts
per share are computed by considering the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding and common stock equivalents, to the extent the effect of
such equivalents is not antidilutive. Operations of the incentive plans and the
assumed exercise of stock options do not have a material dilutive effect on
earnings per share at this time.
Dividends on the $1 2/3 par value common stock are declared out of the
earnings of GM and its subsidiaries, excluding the Available Separate
Consolidated Net Income of Electronic Data Systems Corporation (EDS) and Hughes
Electronics Corporation (Hughes), previously known as GM Hughes Electronics
Corporation. Dividends on the Class E and Class H common stocks are declared out
of the Available Separate Consolidated Net Income of EDS and Hughes,
respectively, earned since the acquisition by GM.
The Available Separate Consolidated Net Income of EDS and Hughes is
determined quarterly and is equal to the separate consolidated net income of EDS
and Hughes, respectively, excluding the effects of purchase accounting
adjustments arising at the time of acquisition, multiplied by a fraction, the
numerator of which is a number equal to the weighted average number of shares of
Class E (300.0 million for the first quarter of 1995) or Class H (94.2 million
for the first quarter of 1995) common stock outstanding during the period and
the denominator of which was 482.4 million for Class E stock and 399.9 million
for Class H stock during the first quarter of 1995. Comparable numerators for
the first quarter of 1994 were 257.9 million for Class E stock and 90.6 million
for Class H stock. Comparable denominators for the first quarter of 1994 were
481.2 million for Class E stock and 399.9 million for Class H stock. The
weighted average number of shares of Class E common stock outstanding
(numerator) during the first quarter of 1995 reflects the impact of the March
13, 1995 Class E common stock pension contribution which is described in Note 7.
Class E common stock outstanding at March 31, 1995 (subsequent to the
contribution) was 438.5 million shares.
The denominators used in determining the Available Separate Consolidated
Net Income of EDS and Hughes are adjusted as deemed appropriate by the Board of
Directors to reflect subdivisions or combinations of the Class E and Class H
common stocks and to reflect certain transfers of capital to or from EDS and
Hughes. The Board's discretion to make such adjustments is limited by criteria
set forth in GM's Certificate of Incorporation. In this regard, the Board has
generally caused the denominators to decrease as shares are purchased by EDS or
Hughes, and to increase as such shares are used, at EDS or Hughes expense, for
EDS or Hughes employee benefit plans or acquisitions.

11
GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED
Dividends may be paid on common stocks only when, as, and if declared by
the Board of Directors in its sole discretion. The Board's policy with respect
to $1 2/3 par value common stock is to distribute dividends based on the outlook
and the indicated capital needs of the business. The current policy of the Board
with respect to the Class E and Class H common stocks is to pay cash dividends
approximately equal to 30% and 35% of the Available Separate Consolidated Net
Income of EDS and Hughes, respectively, for the prior year. Notwithstanding the
current dividend policy, the Board of Directors declared a dividend on the Class
H common stock for each of the quarters of 1994 which was based on an annual
rate higher than 35% of the Available Separate Consolidated Net Income of Hughes
for the preceding year. In February 1995, the Board increased the quarterly
dividend from $0.20 per share to $0.23 per share (which is based on an annual
rate of approximately 35% of the Available Separate Consolidated Net Income of
Hughes for 1994).

NOTE 6.
The Corporation has disclosed in the financial statements certain amounts
associated with estimated future postretirement benefits other than pensions and
characterized such amounts as "accumulated postretirement benefit obligations",
"liabilities", or "obligations". Notwithstanding the recording of such amounts
and the use of these terms, the Corporation does not admit or otherwise
acknowledge that such amounts or existing postretirement benefit plans of the
Corporation (other than pensions) represent legally enforceable liabilities of
the Corporation.
NOTE 7.
On March 13, 1995, GM contributed to the General Motors Hourly-Rate
Employees Pension Plan (Hourly Plan) 173,163,187 shares of Class E common stock,
having an aggregate fair market value on such date of approximately $6.3 billion
(determined by an independent valuation expert retained by the Trustee). The
contribution was made under the terms of an agreement between GM and the Pension
Benefit Guaranty Corporation (the PBGC). Subject to the terms of the agreement,
GM will defer the use of the funding credits that would otherwise result from
such cash and stock contributions. Consequently, GM will continue to make
regular cash contributions to the Hourly Plan over the next several years. The
agreement with the PBGC also provides flexibility to GM by granting a release of
EDS from liability, if any, under Title IV of ERISA for GM's U.S. pension plans,
in the event EDS were to leave the GM control group under certain circumstances.
In addition, in connection with the contribution of the shares of Class E common
stock, the U.S. Department of Labor granted an exemption with respect to, among
other things, limits otherwise applicable under ERISA on the amount of Class E
common stock that could legally be held by the Hourly Plan.
NOTE 8.
Stocks Subject to Repurchase at March 31, 1995, December 31, 1994, and
March 31, 1994 consisted of 15 million shares of Class H common stock subject to
put options issued to the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) and exercisable
under most circumstances at $30 per share on March 1, 1995. The
10

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONCLUDED
Corporation held an option to call the Institute's shares until February 28,
1995 at $37.50 per share. The put and call rights expired unexercised. On
February 15, 1995, GM and HHMI entered into an agreement under which GM would
assist the Institute to sell some or all of its Class H common stock by filing a
registered public offering. The registration statement was filed on March 24,
1995 for 15 million shares of Class H common stock. On April 27, 1995, GM and
HHMI announced that the 15 million shares would be priced at $38.50 per share.
HHMI concluded the sale of all 15 million shares on May 4, 1995.
NOTE 9.
On April 25, 1995, GM began a tender offer to purchase for cash any and all
of its outstanding Series B 9 1/8% Depositary Shares (44.3 million shares at a
purchase price of $27.50), Series D 7.92% Depositary Shares (15.7 million shares
at a purchase price of $26.375) and Series G 9.12% Depositary Shares (23.0
million shares at a purchase price of $28.25). The offers will expire on May 22,
1995, unless extended.

GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following management's discussion and analysis should be read in
conjunction with the management's discussion and analysis included in the
Corporation's 1994 Annual Report to the SEC on Form 10-K and Management's
Discussion and Analysis relating to Electronic Data Systems Corporation (EDS)
and Hughes Electronics Corporation (Hughes) included in Exhibits 99(a) and 99(b)
to such Form 10-K and each Form 10-Q on file with the SEC. The competitive
position and environmental matters discussions included in Part I, Item 1 of the
1994 Form 10-K are specifically incorporated by reference herein.
General Motors Corporation's 1995-first-quarter consolidated net income
totaled a record $2,154.0 million, or $2.51 per share of GM $1 2/3 par value
common stock. That represents an improvement of $1,300.3 million, compared with
the $853.7 million net income, or $0.81 per share, in the year-ago period.
First-quarter-1994 results included the $758.1 million after-tax ($1.05 per
share) unfavorable effect of the SFAS No. 112 accounting change. The non-cash
charge was primarily related to GM's extended-disability benefit program in the
United States. The $758.1 million after-tax charge was composed of $704.6
million at GM's North American Automotive Operations (NAO), $7.4 million at
General Motors Acceptance Corporation (GMAC), $30.4 million at Hughes, and $15.7
million at other GM operations.
GM's 1995-first-quarter sales and revenues totaled $43,285.0 million -- an
increase of 15.4% compared with the comparable period last year. GM's
gross-profit margin for the first quarter of 1995, with GMAC on an equity basis,
was 19.0%, compared with 18.2% in 1994's first-quarter period. This improvement
was primarily the result of an increased gross-profit margin at NAO discussed in
"North American Automotive Operations". Selling, general, and administrative
expenses, with GMAC on an equity basis, of $2,632.0 million in the first quarter
of 1995 were $266.6 million above the first quarter 1994 amount primarily due to
higher administrative expenses. On a percent of sales and revenues basis,
selling, general, and administrative expenses were 6.7% in the first quarter of
1995, down from 6.9% in the first quarter of 1994. The Corporation's pre-tax
income (with GMAC on an equity basis) was $3,002.3 million, compared with
$2,117.3 million in the first quarter of 1994. The first-quarter-1995 effective
income-tax rate (with GMAC on an equity basis) was 38.3%, compared with 33.3% in
the comparable 1994 period. The tax rate in the first quarter of 1994 was
favorably affected by lower taxes on GM's non-U.S. operations.
The Corporation's net-profit margin, with GMAC on an equity basis,
increased from 2.5% in the prior-year period to 5.5% in the first quarter of
1995 -- a positive step toward achieving the goal of at least a 5%-average
annual net-profit margin over the automotive-business cycle. Excluding the
unfavorable effect of the SFAS No. 112 accounting change, the 1994-first-quarter
net-profit margin was 4.7%.
After preference stock dividend payments and the apportionment of earnings
attributable to GM Class E and Class H common stocks, the income attributable to
$1 2/3 par value common stock in the 1995 first quarter amounted to $1,896.3
million or $2.51 per share, compared with first quarter 1994 income of $610.8
million or $0.81 per share including the accounting change.
GM's performance in the first quarter reflects positive contributions from
all of the major business sectors with particularly strong results from the
automotive sectors. Highlights of 1995 first-quarter financial performance by
GM's major business sectors are shown on the next page.

NORTH AMERICAN AUTOMOTIVE OPERATIONS
NAO, including GM's Delphi Automotive Systems, earned net income totaling
$1,058 million in the first quarter of 1995, an improvement of $1,257 million,
compared with the first quarter of 1994, when the net loss totaled $199 million.
Excluding the one-time $705 million after-tax unfavorable effect of the SFAS No.
112 accounting change in the first quarter of 1994, net income for that period
was $506 million, resulting in a year-to-year improvement in net income of $552
million. The improvement was primarily due to favorable volume and mix, reduced
sales allowances, and reduced material costs related to global sourcing,
partially offset by higher engineering costs to support new model development
and increased costs of emissions and safety equipment. NAO's net-profit margin
was 3.9% in the first quarter of 1995, compared with a net-loss margin of 0.8%
in the prior-year period. Excluding the SFAS No. 112 accounting change, the
net-profit margin was 2.1% in the first quarter of 1994.
Delphi continued to aggressively seek additional non-NAO business
worldwide, implement significant cost-reduction initiatives, and pursue the
establishment of key business partnerships around the globe. Delphi's non-NAO
business increased 18% in the first quarter of 1995, compared with the same
period last year.
GM vehicle deliveries in the United States in the first quarter of 1995
totaled 1,138,000. GM passenger-car deliveries totaled 664,000, and truck
deliveries totaled 474,000 during the period. Chevrolet's Lumina and Monte Carlo
models recorded their best-ever first-quarter sales during the first three
months of the calendar year, with combined sales increasing 156% quarter to
quarter over the previous comparable models. Sales of the all-new Chevrolet
Blazer and GMC Jimmy sport utility vehicles increased 30% and 46.2%,
respectively, in the first quarter of 1995, compared with the same period last
year.
GM's share of the total U.S. vehicle market in the first quarter of 1995
was 32.0%, compared with 33.5% in the first quarter of 1994. GM's share of total
U.S. car deliveries was 32.7% in the first quarter, compared with 35.1% in the
previous year's first quarter. The Corporation's share of total U.S. truck
deliveries was 30.9% compared with 31.2% in the same period last year.

INTERNATIONAL AUTOMOTIVE OPERATIONS
IO's net income for the first quarter of 1995 totaled $522 million,
compared with $385 million in the same period of 1994. The net-profit margin for
IO was 6.4% in the first quarter of 1995, compared with 6.2% in the prior-year
period.
Financial performance in the first quarter of 1995 reflects increasing
strength in European, Latin American and Asia-Pacific regions, with particularly
significant improvements in Europe. GM's automotive operations in Europe
reported net income totaling $328 million in the first quarter of 1995, compared
with $246 million in the same period of 1994. For the remainder of GM's IO,
including Latin American Operations and Asia-Pacific Operations, net income
totaled $194 million in the first quarter of 1995, compared with $139 million in
the prior-year period.
In Western Europe, the Opel/Vauxhall model lineup continued to be the
leading passenger-car brand. GM vehicle deliveries in Western Europe totaled
448,000 units in the first quarter of 1995, up 1.5% from the same period last
year. Total GM vehicle deliveries in Latin America were 113,000 units in the
first quarter of 1995, a 13.9% increase from the prior-year period. Overall
deliveries of GM vehicles in the Asia-Pacific region totaled 143,000 units
during the first quarter of 1995, up 17.9% compared with the first quarter of
1994. Worldwide deliveries of the Saab lineup totaled 25,500 units in the first
quarter of 1995, up 17.0% compared with the prior-year period.
GENERAL MOTORS ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION
GMAC serves the financing and insurance needs of GM customers. The
Corporation hereby encourages reference to the GMAC First Quarter 1995 Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
GMAC reported first-quarter-1995 net income of $254.9 million, compared
with $217.5 million in the first quarter of 1994, including the effect of the
SFAS No. 112 accounting change. The 16% increase in 1995 net income from
financing operations is attributable to a more-favorable funding mix and
increased earning asset levels, resulting from a 20% increase in worldwide
retail leasing volume. Capital gains as of March 31, 1995 were $23.1 million
compared to $9.0 million as of March 31, 1994 which contributed to the 23%
growth in income from insurance operations.
Deliveries of new GM vehicles in the U.S. were 1.1 million units for the
first three months of 1995, a decrease of 8% from the same period last year.
GMAC financed 24% of new General Motors products delivered in the U.S. during
the first quarter of 1995, a two percentage point increase compared to the
fourth quarter of 1994 but a six percentage point decrease compared to the first
quarter of 1994. The quarter-to-quarter decline in penetration of retail
delivery financing reflects continued intense competitive pressures.
GMAC also provides wholesale financing for GM and other dealers' new and
used vehicle inventories. In the United States, inventory financing was provided
on 1,005,000 and 969,000 new GM vehicles, representing 72.7% and 75.6% of all GM
sales to dealers during the first quarter of 1995 and 1994, respectively.
Consolidated net pre-tax margin after interest and discount and
depreciation expense totaled $507.9 million in the first quarter of 1995, up
$43.6 million from the first quarter of 1994. The quarter-to-quarter improvement
primarily reflects increased revenue from the continued popularity of retail
leasing as well as increased wholesale financing, partially offset by increased
interest and discount expense. Interest and discount expense increased to
$1,219.8 million for the first quarter of 1995 compared with $1,010.0 million
for the first quarter of 1994. The $209.8 million increase from the comparable
period in 1994 is primarily due to increased funding levels and higher interest
rates. The increase in the effective income tax rate in 1995 (40.8%) from 1994
(37.6%) is due to increased taxes at foreign locations where tax rates exceed
U.S. statutory tax rates.
GMAC's worldwide cost of funds for the first quarter averaged 7.16%, an
increase of 64 basis points from a year ago. Total borrowing costs for United
States operations averaged 7.07% for the first quarter of 1995, compared with
6.25% for the comparable 1994 period. The higher funding costs are attributable
to a significant increase in general rates of interest, especially in the United
States where the bank prime lending
15
17
rate has climbed from 6.25% to 9% during the past year. The adverse effects of
these general interest rate increases were minimized by a more favorable funding
mix resulting from an increased use of lower cost floating rate debt as a
percentage of GMAC's total outstanding debt as well as a continued positive
perception of GMAC's financial position by the capital markets.
Earning assets were $86.8 billion at March 31, 1995 compared to $82.1
billion and $77.3 billion at December 31, 1994 and March 31, 1994, respectively.
The higher asset levels are primarily attributable to increased operating lease
assets and wholesale finance receivables, partially offset by reduced retail
finance receivables.
As of March 31, 1995, GMAC's total borrowings were $68.8 billion compared
with $66.7 billion at December 31, 1994 and $62.4 billion at March 31, 1994.
Debt due after one year comprised 87% of the increase in borrowings over the
comparable prior year period. GMAC's ratio of borrowings to equity capital was
8.4:1 at March 31, 1995, unchanged from December 31, 1994, but slightly above
7.9:1 at March 31, 1994.

ELECTRONIC DATA SYSTEMS CORPORATION
Electronic Data Systems Corporation (EDS) reported first-quarter earnings
totaling $196.8 million for the 1995 period, or $0.42 per share of GM Class E
common stock. That compares with $171.7 million earned in the first quarter of
1994, or $0.36 per share. EDS performance in the first quarter of 1995 reflects
continued growth in non-GM business, which was up more than 36 percent in the
period, compared with the first quarter of 1994. The non-GM business accounted
for more than 67 percent of EDS' total revenues in the first-quarter-1995
period.
Earnings per share attributable to GM Class E common stock are based on the
Available Separate Consolidated Net Income of EDS as described in Note 4 to the
Financial Statements. Reference should be made to EDS' Management's Discussion
and Analysis in Exhibit 99(a) which is incorporated herein by reference.
EDS financial statements do not include the amortization of the $2,179.5
million initial cost to GM of EDS customer contracts, computer software
programs, and other intangible assets, including goodwill, arising from the
acquisition of EDS by GM in 1984. This cost, plus the $343.2 million cost of
contingent notes purchased in 1986, less certain income tax benefits, was
assigned principally to intangible assets, including goodwill, and is being
amortized by GM over the estimated useful lives of the assets acquired. The
costs assigned to customer contracts and computer software programs were fully
amortized prior to 1992. Such amortization is charged against Other Sector
income.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash and cash equivalents, including GMAC, at March 31, 1995 amounted to
$10,418.9 million compared with $10,939.0 million at December 31, 1994 and
$10,710.0 million at March 31, 1994. The decrease in 1995 was due to an excess
of net cash used in investing activities over the net cash provided by operating
and financing activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $4,815.4
million in the three months of 1995, compared to $1,176.9 million in the 1994
period reflecting higher net income, a smaller increase in accounts receivable,
and increases in income taxes payable, and other liabilities.
Net cash used in investing activities in 1995 amounted to $6,788.4 million
reflecting capital expenditures and the increases in finance receivables and
equipment on operating leases. Net cash used in investing activities amounted to
$4,299.4 million in 1994 primarily due to capital expenditures and the increases
in finance receivables and equipment on operating leases. Total capital
expenditures were $1,879.1 million in the three months of 1995 compared with
$1,201.4 million in the 1994 period. Net cash provided by financing activities
in 1995 of $1,492.4 million reflected the $1,601.7 million net increase in
long-term debt and $360.6 million increase in short-term loans payable exceeding
the $303.3 million repurchases of common stocks and cash dividends paid to
stockholders. Net cash provided by financing activities of $51.2 million in the
1994 three-month period reflected the $557.2 million proceeds from issuing
common stock and a $320.0 million net increase in long-term debt exceeding the
net decrease in short-term loans payable and cash dividends paid to
stockholders.
During the three months of 1995, notes and loans payable increased $2,570.7
million to $76,300.9 million at March 31, 1995 from a balance of $73,730.2
million at December 31, 1994 reflecting net increases in short-term loans and
long-term debt. GM's fully consolidated ratio of debt to stockholders' equity
(excluding stocks subject to repurchase) was 3.57 to 1 at March 31, 1995
compared to 5.75 to 1 at December 31, 1994 and 10.13 to 1 at March 31, 1994,
reflecting higher stockholders' equity due to the Class E common stock
contribution to the U.S. hourly pension plan and the return to profitability.
On April 4, 1995, Standard & Poor's Corporation (S&P) affirmed its positive
outlook and its rating of General Motors Corporation and related entities. It
raised its commercial paper rating of EDS to A-1 from A-2, second highest within
the four investment grade ratings available from S&P for commercial paper,
indicating a strong degree of safety regarding timely payments, and removed the
rating from CreditWatch, where it was placed on February 6, 1995. A security
rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold securities and may be
subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating
organization. Each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating.
The Corporation's liquidity position remained strong in the first quarter
of 1995. Cash and marketable securities, with GMAC on an equity basis, totaled
$10,270.5 million at March 31, 1995, $9,546.6 million at March 31, 1994 and
$10,976.4 million at December 31, 1994. GM's cash position continues to be
strong and GM plans to maintain all-important future product programs utilizing
improved capital-spending efficiencies, while at the same time improving the
balance sheet. Ongoing financial objectives include: increasing NAO
profitability, reducing GM's unfunded pension liability, containing health-care
costs, and improving GM's credit ratings.
A first quarter cash dividend on $1 2/3 par value common stock of $0.20 per
share was paid on March 10, 1995. On May 1, 1995, the Board of Directors raised
the quarterly dividend on $1 2/3 par value common stock 50%, to $0.30 per share,
for the second quarter of 1995 payable June 10, 1995. This dividend declaration
raises cash dividends in the first six months of 1995 to $0.50 per share,
compared with $0.40 per share in the comparable 1994 period.
A first quarter cash dividend on Class E common stock of $0.13 per share
was paid on March 10, 1995. On May 1, 1995, the Board of Directors also declared
a cash dividend of $0.13 per share on Class E common stock payable June 10,
1995. This continues the level established in the first quarter of 1995 and
raises cash dividends in the first six months of 1995 to $0.26 per share
compared with $0.24 per share in the comparable 1994 period.
20
22
A first quarter cash dividend on Class H common stock of $0.23 per share
was paid on March 10, 1995. On May 1, 1995, the Board of Directors also declared
a cash dividend of $0.23 per share on Class H common stock payable June 10,
1995. This continues the level in effect since the first quarter of 1995 and
raises cash dividends in the first six months of 1995 to $0.46 per share,
compared with $0.40 per share in the comparable 1994 period.
Book value per share of $1 2/3 par value common stock increased to $21.08
at the end of the 1995 first quarter from $11.18 at the end of 1994. Book value
per share of Class E common stock increased to $2.69 from $1.43 at the end of
1994 and book value per share of Class H common stock increased to $10.56 from
$5.59 at the end of 1994.
At year-end 1994, GM's total unfunded pension position decreased to $12.6
billion ($9.4 billion U.S. and $3.2 billion non-U.S.) from $22.3 billion a year
ago. In the first quarter of 1995, the Corporation made further cash
contributions of $1.8 billion to its U.S. pension plans. In addition, upon
receiving a prohibited transaction exemption from the U.S. Department of Labor,
the Corporation contributed approximately 173 million shares of Class E common
stock to its U.S. hourly pension plan on March 13, 1995. The stock contribution
was valued at $6.3 billion by an independent valuation expert retained by the
plan's independent trustee.
Under the terms of an agreement with the Pension Benefit Guaranty
Corporation (PBGC), GM will defer the use of funding credits that will result
from the stock contributions and $4 billion of cash previously contributed.
Consequently, GM will continue to make regular cash contributions to its pension
plans over the next several years. The PBGC agreement also provides flexibility
to GM by granting a release of EDS from liability, if any, under Title IV of
ERISA for GM's U.S. pension plans in the event EDS were to leave the GM
controlled group under certain circumstances.
The Class E common stock contribution to the U.S. hourly pension plan
increases the weighted average number of Class E shares outstanding which
increases the allocation of EDS earnings to Class E common stock and decreases
the allocation of EDS earnings to $1 2/3 par value common stock. The reduction
in EDS earnings allocated to $1 2/3 par value common stock was more than offset
by reduced pension expense as a result of the stock contribution. The
relationship between the reduction in EDS earnings allocated to $1 2/3 par value
common stock and reduced pension expense will vary from period to period. The
stock contribution has no impact on Class E earnings per share since the
increased allocation of EDS earnings to Class E common stock is offset by the
higher weighted average number of Class E shares outstanding.
The Corporation plans to make additional incremental cash contributions to
its U.S. pension plans in 1995 as it seeks to meet its long-term funding plan.
Under SFAS No. 87, Employers' Accounting for Pensions, any year-to-year movement
in the rate of interest on long-term, high quality corporate bonds necessitates
a change in the discount rate used to calculate the actuarial present value of
the plans' obligations. The decrease in long-term interest rates which has
occurred in the U.S. between December 31, 1994 (the latest measurement date of
GM's pension plans) and March 31, 1995 would require the Corporation to use a
discount rate approximately 25 basis points below that used at the last
measurement date. GM's reported unfunded pension position will be affected by
such a change in interest rates, as well as by contributions during the year,
the actual return on pension investments and various other factors. A change in
the unfunded pension position will also affect the minimum pension liability
adjustment to stockholders' equity.
The change in long-term interest rates described above similarly impacts
the calculation of the Corporation's postretirement health care obligations
under SFAS No. 106, Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than
Pensions. There has been a 50 basis point decrease in long-term corporate bond
rates between October 1, 1994 (the most recent valuation date) and March 31,
1995. However, a change to the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation
would have no impact on GM's stockholders' equity in 1995 and no cash impact.
Neither the estimated increase in the Corporation's unfunded pension
obligations under SFAS No. 87 nor the estimated increase in the Corporation's
postretirement obligations under SFAS No. 106 would have an impact on the
earnings to be reported by the Corporation for 1995. However, in accordance with
applicable
21
23
accounting standards, any change in these obligations would impact the
Corporation's 1996 and subsequent years' earnings as non-cash
increases/decreases in pension and other postretirement benefit expense.
General Motors Corporation began a tender offer on April 25, 1995 to
purchase for cash any and all of its outstanding Series B, Series D and Series G
preference stock. The offers will expire on May 22, 1995, unless extended. The
tender offers are being made for the following securities: 44.3 million
outstanding depositary shares, each representing one-fourth of a share of GM
Series B 9 1/8% Preference Stock, at a purchase price of $27.50 per share paid
in cash; 15.7 million outstanding depositary shares, each representing
one-fourth of a share of GM Series D 7.92% Preference Stock, at a purchase price
of $26.375 per share paid in cash; and 23.0 million outstanding depositary
shares, each representing one-fourth of a share of GM Series G 9.12% Preference
Stock, at a purchase price of $28.25 per share paid in cash. Under each offer,
depositary shares tendered and purchased by GM will receive the regular first
quarter cash dividend payable per depositary share, with a record date of April
3, 1995, to be paid May 1, 1995, but will not receive any dividend declared or
paid thereafter by GM nor any accrued dividend.
The managements of EDS and General Motors are engaged in discussions
concerning the most appropriate means of addressing EDS' strategic objectives,
including the possibility of a spin-off of EDS. These discussions have not
produced a definitive proposal as to the structure or terms of any transaction
or as to whether any transaction will be proposed to the board of directors of
GM or EDS or the stockholders of GM. Any spin-off of EDS would be proposed only
in a transaction determined by GM's Board of Directors to be fair to holders of
all classes of GM's capital stock and that would be tax free and would not
result in the recapitalization of Class E common stock into GM $1 2/3 par value
common stock at a 120% exchange ratio as currently provided for under certain
circumstances in the General Motors Certificate of Incorporation. The
development of any such proposal would be subject to the resolution of numerous
matters and any subsequent implementation of any such proposal would be subject
to numerous conditions, including appropriate board and stockholder approvals.
In the event that any such spin-off were proposed, General Motors and EDS would
plan to enter into a long-term agreement upon consummation of such transaction,
with options for renewal by General Motors, under which EDS would continue to
provide to General Motors substantially the same information technology services
as it has provided in the past. The development of any such proposal and
fulfillment of such conditions are uncertain and the consummation of any such
transaction would in any event involve substantial periods of time. Due to the
numerous uncertainties involved in these matters, there can be no assurance that
any spin-off of EDS will be proposed or consummated.

PART II
GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Material pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation
incidental to the business, to which the Corporation became, or was, a party
during the quarter ended March 31, 1995, or subsequent thereto, but before the
filing of this report are summarized below.
On April 26 and 27, 1995, two purported class actions, KEITH MCGILL v.
GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION, and RICHARD DOLOWICH v. GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION,
were filed against General Motors in the Supreme Court of the State of New York,
Counties of Bronx and Suffolk, alleging defective rear disc brake caliper pins
in the "GM W-Body car". The DOLOWICH suit is brought on behalf of all persons
and entities in the United States who currently own or lease or previously owned
or leased a 1988-1993 Buick Regal, Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, Pontiac Grand
Prix or Chevrolet Lumina. The MCGILL suit includes the same model year vehicles,
but is brought on behalf of persons and entities residing in the State of New
York who purchased or leased such vehicles and still own them. Together, the
complaints allege violation of the New York General Business Law, Sections 349
and 350-a, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, and breach of express and implied
warranty, and seek unspecified amounts of economic damages, punitive damages not
less than $20 million, attorneys' fees and costs, and injunctive relief. The
court has not made a determination as to whether the cases may proceed as class
actions.
With respect to the previously reported matter wherein it was stated that
the U.S. EPA has requested that the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) commence a
civil action against GM in connection with alleged violations of vehicle
emissions standards and certification procedures under the Clean Air Act with
respect to GM's North American Automotive Operations, DOJ/EPA and GM continue to
agree to extensions of their agreement to toll the running of any deadlines for
filing claims and are engaged in settlement discussions. GM believes that the
subject vehicles and engines were produced in substantial compliance with the
Clean Air ACT.
