As those of you who joined might recall, we said we expected 2008 to be a challenging year and that was certainly the case in the first quarter. So far, we©ve experience continued capital markets volatility, US economic weakness, and deteriorating consumer credit. This is the backdrop; however, we©ve narrowed our focus to five critical tactics for the balance of the year. One is restructuring our auto finance operations; two is streamlining ResCap©s www.streetevents.com Contact Us 2 © 2008 Thomson Financial. Republished with permission.

FINAL TRANSCRIPT Apr. 29. 2008 / 9:00AM, GMAC - Q1 2008 GMAC LLC Earnings Conference Call operations and balance sheet; three, protecting the value of GMAC Insurance; four, growing and leveraging GMAC Bank; and, fifth, ensuring GMAC and ResCap©s continued liquidity. In anticipation of a difficult environment, we took steps in 2007 to de-risk our balance sheet and reduce our overall cost structure. Those efforts are bearing fruit, but those successes didn©t outweigh the economic market challenges we faced in the first quarter. We©re reporting a consolidated loss of $589 million, as you can see on slide four of your PowerPoint deck. The loss reflects negative results at ResCap which more than offset profits at Insurance and Auto Finance. Global Auto had net income of $258 million for the quarter, Insurance earned $132 million, and ResCap had a loss of $859 million. That figure includes significant improvements in the US residential business and gains from debt retirement offset by valuation adjustments in the international mortgage and business lending operations. GMAC and ResCap continue to hold high levels of cash to preserve our flexibility. GMAC©s consolidated cash and certain marketable securities was $18.6 billion at the end of the quarter. This number includes ResCap cash of $4.2 billion. The GMAC cash balance came down from our yearend balance of $22.7 billion as we only selectively utilized the capital markets during the quarter. Moving on to slide five, we provide net income by segment, as well as some of the notable items that drove the quarter. All the items listed below and throughout the balance of this discussion are presented on a pre-tax basis unless otherwise noted. These structuring charges were fairly modes at $33 million in the period. We had a gain of $488 million from repurchased debt at a consolidated level. Auto finance had $55 million of mark downs while ResCap HFS valuations were impaired by $772 million. Consolidated losses on investment securities total $468 million. And finally, impairments of REO, or Real Estate Owned, lot option, and model homes total $183 million. During the quarter we implemented FAS157 related to fair value accounting and elected to account for certain of our assets and liabilities under the fair value option provided by FAS 159. FAS157 resulted in an increase to the beginning retained earnings of $23 million related to the recognition of day one gains on MSRs and certain residential loan commitments. FAS159 resulted in a decrease to retained earnings of $148 million as we elected to measure $10.5 billion of mortgage loans and certain CDO©s. We only elected 159 at the ResCap unit. With that, let©s take a deeper look at the individual segments, starting on slide six. The first slide lays out the key metrics for our auto finance operations. The graph on this slide shows Global Auto©s net income for the last eight quarters. Q1 2008 results of $258 million were down compared to year-ago earnings of $398 million. These results reflected weaker credit performance, increased operating expenses, lower gains on sales, and a deterioration in used car prices. We©ll go through the detailed income statement in just a moment. Moving to the right, you can see that GMAC increased new auto originations in Q1 ©08 compared to year-ago levels while used originations were stable. Despite lower industry sales in North America, new vehicle financing originations for the quarter amounted to $12.9 billion of retail lending and lease contracts versus $12.3 billion in the first quarter of 2007, reflecting a higher penetration of GM vehicle sales. Used vehicle originations for the quarter were stable at $2.1 billion. In the current economic condition, we©ve deliberately moderated growth in this portfolio. The graph in the lower left section of the slide highlights the consistency of our origination platform as total service assets came in at $122 billion in line with recent levels. And on balance sheet, retail auto loans were slightly higher in the quarter at $86 billion, reflected fewer ABS and whole loan transactions. The last graph lays out the level of gains on sale from our originate to distribute model. In Q1 ©08, we sold fewer loans and booked fewer gains than the year-ago period due to the capital markets disruptions. If you turn now to slide seven, you©ll find the income statement for auto finance and we©ll walk through the key drivers. Despite a practically flat asset base, net financing revenue increased as the mix of assets shifted to a higher proportion of leases and our cost of funds actually declined. While our funding spreads have increased year over year in all categories of funding, higher ratio of secured funding has brought the weighted average cost of debt down.
