GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



Note 1. Nature of Operations

General Motors Company, is sometimes referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as “we,” “our,” “us,” “ourselves,” the “Company,” “General Motors,” or “GM.” General Motors Corporation is sometimes referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for the periods on or before July 9, 2009, as “Old GM.” Old GM was renamed Motors Liquidation Company (MLC), which was dissolved on December 15, 2011 and transferred its remaining assets and liabilities to the Motors Liquidation Company GUC Trust (GUC Trust).

We design, build and sell cars, trucks and automobile parts worldwide. We also provide automotive financing services through General Motors Financial Company, Inc. (GM Financial).

We analyze the results of our business through our five segments: GM North America (GMNA), GM Europe (GME), GM International Operations (GMIO), GM South America (GMSA) and GM Financial. Nonsegment operations are classified as Corporate. Corporate includes investments in Ally Financial, Inc. (Ally Financial), certain centrally recorded income and costs, such as interest, income taxes and corporate expenditures and certain nonsegment specific revenues and expenses.

Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Recent Accounting Standards

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim financial information. Accordingly they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, composed of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary by management to fairly state our results of operations, financial position and cash flows. The operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 as filed with the SEC.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of the Financial Statements

The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities at the reporting date and the amounts of revenue and expenses in the periods presented. We believe that the accounting estimates employed are appropriate and the resulting balances are reasonable; however, due to the inherent uncertainties in making estimates actual results could differ from the original estimates, requiring adjustments to these balances in future periods.

Venezuelan Exchange Regulations

Our Venezuelan subsidiaries utilize the U.S. Dollar as their functional currency because of the hyperinflationary status of the Venezuelan economy. The Venezuelan government has foreign exchange control regulations which make it more difficult to convert Bolivar Fuerte (BsF) to U.S. Dollars. These regulations affect our Venezuelan subsidiaries' ability to pay non-BsF denominated obligations that do not qualify to be processed by the Venezuela currency exchange agency at the official exchange rates.

The aggregate net assets denominated in BsF at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were $713 million and $940 million which included monetary assets of $1.3 billion and $1.6 billion and monetary liabilities of $0.9 billion and $1.1 billion. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 other consolidated entities have receivables from our Venezuelan subsidiaries denominated in other currencies of $299 million and $224 million. The total amounts pending government approval for settlement at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were BsF 3.3 billion (equivalent to $555 million) and BsF 2.2 billion (equivalent to $523 million), for which some requests have been pending from 2007.

In February 2013 the Venezuelan government announced that the official fixed exchange rate of BsF 4.3 to $1.00 changed to BsF 6.3 to $1.00 effective February 13, 2013. The devaluation required remeasurement of our Venezuelan subsidiaries' non-U.S. dollar denominated monetary assets and liabilities. The remeasurement resulted in a charge of $162 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013.

We believe it is possible that the Venezuelan government may further devalue the BsF against the U.S. dollar in the future. If the BsF were devalued further, it would result in a charge to our income statement in the period of devaluation. Based on our

6



Table of Contents
GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS —— (Continued)

March 31, 2013 net monetary assets, a further devaluation of the BsF by 1 BsF to $1.00 would result in a charge of approximately $50 million.

Recently Adopted Accounting Principles

In the three months ended March 31, 2013, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income." This ASU does not change current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income (OCI) in financial statements; rather, it requires certain disclosures of the amount of reclassifications of items from OCI to net income by component. The related disclosures are presented in Note 20.

Note 3. Acquisition of Businesses

Acquisition of SAIC GM Investment Limited

In September 2012 we obtained control of SAIC GM Investment Limited, the holding company of General Motors India Private Limited and Chevrolet Sales India Private Limited (collectively HKJV) through a series of transactions that resulted in us owning a 90.8% interest and we consolidated HKJV effective September 1, 2012.

Acquisition of GMAC South America LLC

In March 2012 we acquired from Ally Financial for cash of $29 million 100% of the outstanding equity interests of GMAC South America LLC whose only asset is GMAC de Venezuela CA (GMAC Venezuela) comprising the business and operations of Ally Financial in Venezuela. This acquisition provides us with a captive finance offering in Venezuela which we believe is important in maintaining market position and will provide continued sources of financing for our Venezuela dealers and customers. We recorded the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of March 1, 2012, the date we obtained control, and have included GMAC Venezuela's results of operations and cash flows from that date forward.

Note 4. Marketable Securities

We measure the fair value of our marketable securities using a market approach where identical or comparable prices are available and an income approach in other cases. We obtain the majority of the prices used in this valuation from a pricing service. Our pricing service utilizes industry standard pricing models that consider various inputs, including benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads and benchmark securities as well as other relevant economic measures. We conduct an annual review of valuations provided by our pricing service, which includes discussion and analysis of the inputs used by the pricing service to provide prices for the types of securities we hold. These inputs include prices for comparable securities, bid/ask quotes, interest rate yields and prepayment spreads. Based on our review we believe the prices received from our pricing service are a reliable representation of exit prices. We measure the fair value of our investment in Peugeot S.A. (PSA) common stock using the published stock price. At March 31, 2013 the fair value of our investment in PSA exceeded the carrying amount.

GM Korea Company Preferred Shares

In September 2012 we entered into a transaction to acquire security interests in certain mandatorily redeemable preferred shares issued by GM Korea Company (GM Korea) for $293 million. The transaction did not meet the criteria for an extinguishment of the liability. Subsequently, GM Korea partially redeemed the mandatorily redeemable preferred shares resulting in an

7



Table of Contents
GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS —— (Continued)

extinguishment of the liability and redemption of a portion of the security interests. The remaining unredeemed interests are classified as available-for-sale corporate debt securities and had a fair value of $178 million and $177 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

In April 2013 GM Korea redeemed early the remaining balance of GM Korea's mandatorily redeemable preferred shares resulting in an extinguishment of the liability and redemption of the majority of our remaining security interests. For additional information on the early redemption of GM Korea's mandatorily redeemable preferred shares refer to Note 13.

GM Financial determined the fair value of consumer finance receivables using Level 3 inputs within a cash flow model. The Level 3 inputs reflect assumptions regarding expected prepayments, deferrals, delinquencies, recoveries and charge-offs of the loans within the finance receivable portfolio. The cash flow model produces an estimated amortization schedule of the finance receivables which is the basis for the calculation of the series of cash flows that derive the fair value of the portfolio. The series of cash flows is calculated and discounted using a weighted-average cost of capital (WACC) using unobservable debt and equity percentages, an unobservable cost of equity and an observable cost of debt based on companies with a similar credit rating and maturity profile as the portfolio. Macroeconomic factors could negatively affect the credit performance of the portfolio and therefore could potentially affect the assumptions used in GM Financial's cash flow model.

Substantially all commercial finance receivables have variable interest rates and maturities of one year. Therefore, the carrying amount is considered to be a reasonable estimate of fair value.

GM Financial purchases consumer finance contracts from automobile dealers without recourse, and accordingly, the dealer has no liability to GM Financial if the consumer defaults on the contract. Finance receivables are collateralized by vehicle titles and GM Financial has the right to repossess the vehicle in the event the consumer defaults on the payment terms of the contract.

At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 the accrual of finance charge income has been suspended on delinquent consumer finance receivables based on contractual amounts due of $403 million and $503 million. At March 31, 2013 the commercial finance receivables or loans on non-accrual status were insignificant.

GM Financial reviews its pre-acquisition portfolio for differences between contractual cash flows and the cash flows expected to be collected from its initial investment in the pre-acquisition portfolio to determine if the difference is attributable, at least in part to credit quality. In the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 as a result of improvements in credit performance of the pre-acquisition portfolio, which resulted in an increase of expected cash flows of $48 million and $167 million, GM Financial transferred this excess non-accretable difference to accretable yield. GM Financial will recognize this excess as finance charge income over the remaining life of the portfolio.

In the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 we performed event-driven goodwill impairment tests for our GM Korea reporting unit as we determined the carrying amount of GM Korea exceeded its fair value. The fair value of GM Korea is below its carrying value due to ongoing economic weakness in certain markets to which GM Korea exports as well as higher raw material costs and unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates. The event-driven impairment tests resulted in a Goodwill impairment charge of $27 million within our GMIO segment in the three months ended March 31, 2012. Our GME reporting unit had a negative carrying amount and because it was more likely than not further goodwill impairment existed at March 31, 2012 we recorded a Goodwill impairment charge of $590 million.

________
(a)
At March 31, 2012 GME's Goodwill balance was $0.

The impairment charges recorded as part of the event-driven goodwill impairment tests in the three months ended March 31, 2012 represent the net decreases in implied goodwill resulting primarily from decreases in the fair value-to-U.S. GAAP differences attributable to those assets and liabilities that gave rise to goodwill upon our application of fresh-start reporting. The net decreases resulted primarily from a decrease in our nonperformance risk and an improvement in our incremental borrowing rates since July 10, 2009. In addition, for the purpose of deriving an implied goodwill balance, deterioration in the business outlook for GME resulted in a reduction in the fair value of certain tax attributes and an increase in the fair value of estimated employee benefit obligations. The amount of implied goodwill derived from GM Korea decreased in the three months ended March 31, 2012 primarily from a reduction in the fair value of certain tax attributes.

When performing our goodwill impairment testing, the fair values of our reporting units were determined based on valuation techniques using the best available information, primarily discounted cash flow projections. We make significant assumptions and estimates about the extent and timing of future cash flows, growth rates, market share and discount rates that represent unobservable inputs into our valuation methodologies. The cash flows are estimated over a significant future period of time, which makes those

estimates and assumptions subject to a high degree of uncertainty. Where available and as appropriate, comparative market multiples and the quoted market price of our common stock are used to corroborate the results of the discounted cash flow method.

(a)
GME forecast volumes are 2012 through 2016. GM Korea forecast volumes at March 31, 2012 are 2012 through 2015 and are 2013 through 2016 at March 31, 2013.
(b)
Represents the balance of Goodwill evaluated for impairment under the Step 2 analysis.
(c)
Industry forecast volumes and market share for GM Korea are based on global industry volumes because GM Korea exports vehicles globally.

The WACCs considered various factors including bond yields, risk premiums and tax rates; the terminal values were determined using a growth model that applied a reporting unit's long-term growth rate to its projected cash flows beyond the forecast period; and industry volumes and a market share for each reporting unit included annual estimates through the forecast period. In addition minimum operating cash needs that incorporate specific business, economic and regulatory factors giving rise to varying cash needs were estimated.

Because the fair value of goodwill can be measured only as a residual amount and cannot be determined directly we calculated the implied goodwill, which utilized Level 3 measures, for the GME and GM Korea reporting units in the same manner that goodwill is recognized in a business combination pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805, "Business Combinations." At March 31, 2012 our Step 2 analyses indicated GME's and GM Korea's implied goodwill was less than their recorded goodwill; therefore, Goodwill was adjusted as of that date. At March 31, 2013 GM Korea's implied goodwill exceeded its recorded goodwill.

Future goodwill impairments could be recognized should economic uncertainty continue, our equity price decline on a sustained basis, global economies enter into another recession and industry growth stagnates, or should we release deferred tax asset valuation allowances in certain tax jurisdictions. In these circumstances future goodwill impairments would largely be affected by decreases in either the fair value of a reporting unit or in the fair value-to-U.S.-GAAP differences that have occurred subsequent to our application of fresh-start reporting, which in the future would primarily occur upon a decline in the fair value of GM Financial or reversal of our remaining deferred tax asset valuation allowances. Any declines would have a negative effect on our earnings.

Our fair value estimates for event-driven impairment tests assume the achievement of the future financial results contemplated in our forecasted cash flows and there can be no assurance that we will realize that value. The estimates and assumptions used are subject to significant uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, and there is no assurance that anticipated financial results will be achieved.

In December 2012 we entered into a product development agreement with PSA to collaborate on the development of certain vehicle platforms, components and modules. As a result of this agreement, in the three months ended March 31, 2013, we acquired the rights to certain intellectual property and technology for total consideration of Euro 500 million (equivalent to $642 million). Consideration of Euro 155 million (equivalent to $199 million) is expected to be paid in cash during 2013 with the remaining consideration to be paid in cash or in-kind exchanges by May 2018. The acquired rights were recorded at the present value of the total payments to be made as technology and intellectual property of $594 million.

Note 11. Variable Interest Entities

Consolidated VIEs

Automotive

Variable interest entities (VIEs) that we do not control through a majority voting interest that are consolidated because we are the primary beneficiary include certain vehicle assembling, manufacturing and selling venture arrangements, the most significant of which is GM Egypt. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012: (1) Total assets of these VIEs were $514 million and $436 million, which were composed of Cash and cash equivalents, Accounts and notes receivable, net, Inventories and Property, net; and (2) Total liabilities were $343 million and $254 million, which were composed of Accounts payable (principally trade) and Accrued liabilities. In the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 Total net sales and revenue recorded by these VIEs were $236 million and $236 million and Net income (loss) was $18 million and $(5) million. These amounts are stated prior to intercompany eliminations. Liabilities recognized as a result of consolidating VIEs generally do not represent claims against us or our other subsidiaries and assets recognized generally are for the benefit of the VIEs' operations and cannot be used to satisfy our obligations.

GM Korea and HKJV are non-wholly owned consolidated subsidiaries that we control through a majority voting interest. They are also VIEs because in the future they may require additional subordinated financial support.

The following table summarizes the liabilities of GM Korea and HKJV for which their creditors do not have recourse to our general credit (dollars in millions):
