In the presentation that follows and in related comments by General Motors management, our use of the words “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “objective,” “plan,” “goal,” “project,” “priorities/targets” and similar expressions is intended to identify forward looking statements.

While these statements represent our current judgment on what the future may hold, and we believe these judgments are reasonable, actual results may differ materially due to numerous important factors that are described In GM’s most recent report on SEC Form 10-K which may be revised or supplemented in subsequent reports on SEC Forms 10-Q and 8-K. Such factors include, among others, the following: changes in economic conditions, currency exchange rates or political stability; shortages of and price increases for fuel, labor strikes or work stoppages; market acceptance of the corporation’s new products; significant changes in the competitive environment; changes in laws, regulations and tax rates; and, the ability of the corporation to achieve reductions in cost and employment levels to realize production efficiencies and implement capital expenditures at levels and times planned by management.

Global Industry Faces Some Headwinds

Legitimate headwinds exist and are causing some uncertainty in the medium term

     — Need to put these in context and critically view their impact

Key risks are

     — Higher interest rates

          — Transitions to more sustainable growth rates are occurring in the two most important markets (U.S. & China)

     — Higher fuel prices

Bottom Line: Headwinds are Present but Should Not Derail the Global Expansion

Summary on Interest Rate and Fuel Price Situations

A shift in monetary policy combined with higher energy prices will temper growth, however no reason to assume will derail the global expansion

Oil and gasoline markets have been hit by both supply and demand side disturbances

Although fuel prices have surged in the past few months, they remain low by historical standards, especially after fuel economy improvements are included

Safe Harbor

In the presentation that follows and in related comments by General Motors management, our use of the words “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “objective,” “plan,” “goal,” “project,” “priorities/targets” and similar expressions is intended to identify forward looking statements.

While these statements represent our current judgment on what the future may hold, and we believe these judgments are reasonable, actual results may differ materially due to numerous important factors that are described in GM’s most recent report on SEC Form 10-K which may be revised or supplemented in subsequent reports on SEC Forms 10-Q and 8-K. Such factors include, among others, the following: changes in economic conditions, currency exchange rates or political stability; shortages of and price increases for fuel, labor strikes or work stoppages; market acceptance of the corporation’s new products; significant changes in the competitive environment; changes in laws, regulations and tax rates; and, the ability of the corporation to achieve reductions in cost and employment levels to realize production efficiencies and implement capital expenditures at levels and times planned by management.
