Employer incorporation or organization) Identification No.) 200 Renaissance Center P.O.

Results of Operations and Financial Condition GMAC SECOND QUARTER 2004 EARNINGS SUMMARY General Motors Acceptance Corporation (GMAC) recorded its highest-ever quarterly earnings in the second quarter of 2004. Consolidated net income of $860 million was up $26 million from the $834 million earned in the same quarter of 2003. For the quarter, net income from financing operations totaled $452 million, up $56 million from the $396 million earned in the prior year. The increase reflects lower credit losses and improved off-lease remarketing results, which more than offset the unfavorable impact of lower net interest margins. GMAC Insurance Holdings, Inc. earned $75 million in the second quarter of 2004, up $52 million from the same period in 2003. The increase reflects continued growth in underwriting income and improved investment portfolio performance in 2004. GMAC Mortgage Group, Inc. earned $333 million, down $82 million from last year's record. The decline reflects lower mortgage volume versus the prior year and decreased pricing margins, somewhat offset by higher earning assets. SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
