Item 2.02  Results of Operations and Financial Condition

General Motors Corporation ("GM" or "General Motors") today announced that it
had revised its reported results for the second quarter of 2006; its previously
announced adjusted earnings are not affected. On July 26, 2006, GM reported a
net loss of $3.2 billion or $5.62 per share, and adjusted earnings, excluding
special items, of $1.2 billion or $2.03 per share, a significant improvement
from the year-ago adjusted loss of $231 million or $0.41 per share.

GM's reported net loss for the quarter has been increased by $200 million, or
$0.35 per share, to $3.4 billion or $5.97 per share. The increase in the
reported net loss is attributable to the estimated tax provision related to the
loss from the announced sale of 51% of GM's interest in GMAC to a consortium of
investors (the "GMAC Transaction"). The previously estimated after-tax charge of
$490 million has been increased to $690 million as the tax provision from the
GMAC Transaction was adjusted to reflect differences in book value and tax basis
at several GMAC subsidiaries.

The tax increase does not result in a current cash expense to either GM or GMAC.
General Motors may adjust the estimated loss on sale from the GMAC Transaction
each quarter until closing due to potential changes in the other comprehensive
income adjustment, such as mark-to-market valuation, as well as other factors.


Item 8.01  Other Events

On July 28, 2006, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC")
announced a six-month moratorium on the acceptance of, or final decisions on,
notices filed under the Change in Bank Control Act with regard to industrial
loan companies ("ILCs"). In connection with the GMAC Transaction, the consortium
and its members have submitted such notices with respect to GMAC's ILC, GMAC
Automotive Bank. GM and GMAC are currently evaluating the effect of the FDIC's
action on these pending notices, but it appears that the timing of any approval
of the notices is likely to be affected by the moratorium. Since FDIC approval
of the Change in Bank Control Act notices with regard to GMAC Automotive Bank is
a condition to closing the GMAC Transaction, GM and GMAC are now working with
the consortium to consider ways to try to avoid delaying the targeted closing
date until 2007.
