release and related comments by General Motors management, our use of the
words "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "forecast," "objective," "plan,"
"goal" 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 (at page II-18) 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 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.

# Denotes estimate

International regions to count vehicles as production in the region of final
assembly. 1999 and 2000 data has been adjusted to reflect this
reclassification.
