ITEM 4.02(a)    Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim
                         Review

On March 14, 2006, the audit committee of the board of directors of GM concluded that GM’s interim consolidated financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2005, included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for that period, and the related financial information for that period, should no longer be relied upon because GM is making certain adjustments to restate the accounting for GM’s portfolio of vehicles on operating lease with daily rental car entities.

GM intends to make certain adjustments to restate previously reported 2005 financial results. The restatement of quarterly financial results will primarily result from a material misstatement in the accounting for GM’s portfolio of vehicles on operating lease with daily rental car entities, which occurred in the first quarter of 2005. This misstatement related to the fact that GM’s portfolio of vehicles on operating lease with daily rental car entities, which was impaired at lease inception, was prematurely revalued in 2005 to reflect increased anticipated proceeds upon disposal. The restatement of the consolidated financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2005 will not change the net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents in the above-referenced financial statements nor will it materially affect GM’s 2005 total annual financial results, cash flows, or year-end financial position.

The audit committee of the board of directors of GM has discussed this matter with its independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP.
