1. Description of Business, Basis of Presentation, and Changes in Significant Accounting Policies

GMAC Inc. was founded in 1919 as a wholly owned subsidiary of General Motors Corporation. On November 30, 2006, General Motors Corporation sold a 51% interest in us (the Sale Transactions) to FIM Holdings LLC (FIM Holdings), an investment consortium led by Cerberus FIM Investors, LLC, the sole managing member. On December 24, 2008, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the Board of Governors) approved our application to become a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the BHC Act). In connection with this approval, General Motors Corporation and FIM Holdings were required to significantly reduce their voting equity ownership interests in GMAC. These reductions in ownership occurred in 2009. For further discussion of developments with General Motors Corporation, refer to the General Motors Emergence from Bankruptcy Protection section in this note. The terms “GMAC,” “the Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to GMAC Inc. and its subsidiaries as a consolidated entity except where it is clear that the terms mean only GMAC Inc.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2009, and for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, are unaudited but, in management’s opinion, include all normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the interim-period results.

The interim-period consolidated financial statements, including the related notes, are condensed and prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim reporting. Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. We made these reclassifications and certain presentation changes to more closely conform to Article 9 of Regulation S-X as a result of the Federal Reserve System’s approval for us to become a bank holding company. In our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income, we reclassified interest and dividends on investment securities from investment income (a component of total other revenue) to a separate financial statement line item within total financing revenue and other interest income. Additionally, we reclassified other interest income from other income, net of losses (a component of total other revenue), to a separate financial statement line item within total financing revenue and other interest income. Presentation changes were made to interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income and investment securities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet to provide detail on the composition of these financial statement line items. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, we also reclassified certain uncertificated investments from investment securities to other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, consistent with industry practice. Additionally, we are in the process of modifying information systems to address Article 9 guidelines that are not reflected in this Form 10-Q. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These interim-period Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our audited Consolidated Financial Statements, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 26, 2009.

Residential Capital, LLC

Residential Capital, LLC (ResCap), one of our mortgage subsidiaries, has been negatively impacted by the events and conditions in the mortgage banking industry and the broader economy. The market deterioration has led to fewer sources of, and significantly reduced levels of, liquidity available to finance ResCap’s operations. ResCap is highly leveraged relative to its cash flow and continues to recognize credit and valuation losses resulting in a significant deterioration in capital. During the first six months of 2009, ResCap received capital contributions from GMAC of $1.2 billion and recognized a gain on extinguishment of debt of $1.7 billion as a result of completed divestitures to GMAC and through contributions and forgiveness of ResCap’s outstanding notes, which GMAC previously repurchased in the open market at a discount or through our private debt exchange and cash tender offers. Accordingly, ResCap’s consolidated tangible net worth, as defined, was $1.05 billion as of June 30, 2009, and remained in compliance with all of its consolidated tangible net worth covenants. For this purpose, consolidated tangible net worth is defined as ResCap’s consolidated equity excluding intangible assets and any equity in Ally Bank to the extent included on ResCap’s consolidated balance sheet. There continues to be a risk that ResCap will not be able to meet its debt service obligations, default on its financial debt covenants due to insufficient capital, and/or be in a negative liquidity position in 2009 or future periods.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

 

ResCap actively manages its liquidity and capital positions and is continually working on initiatives to address its debt covenant compliance and liquidity needs, including debt maturing in the next twelve months and the identified risks and uncertainties. ResCap’s initiatives include, but are not limited to, the following: continuing to work with key credit providers to optimize all available liquidity options; continued reduction of assets and other restructuring activities; focusing production on government and prime conforming products; exploring strategic alternatives such as alliances, joint ventures, and other transactions with third parties; and continually exploring opportunities for funding and capital support from GMAC and its affiliates. The outcomes of most of these initiatives are outside of ResCap’s control resulting in increased uncertainty as to their successful execution.

ResCap remains heavily dependent on GMAC and its affiliates for funding and capital support, and there can be no assurance that GMAC or its affiliates will continue such actions. We have previously disclosed that ResCap is an important subsidiary and that we believe the support we have provided to ResCap was in the best interests of our stakeholders. We have further disclosed that if ResCap were to need additional support, we would provide that support so long as it was in the best interests of our stakeholders.

Although our continued actions through various funding and capital initiatives demonstrate support for ResCap, our status as a bank holding company, completion of our private debt exchange and cash tender offers in 2008, and further capital actions in 2009 better position us to be capable of supporting ResCap, there are currently no commitments or assurances for future funding and/or capital support. Consequently, there remains substantial doubt about ResCap’s ability to continue as a going concern. Should we no longer continue to support the capital or liquidity needs of ResCap or should ResCap be unable to successfully execute other initiatives, it would have a material adverse effect on ResCap’s business, results of operations, and financial position.

GMAC has extensive financing and hedging arrangements with ResCap that could be at risk of nonpayment if ResCap were to file for bankruptcy. As of June 30, 2009, we had approximately $3.5 billion in secured financing arrangements and secured hedging agreements with ResCap of which approximately $2.9 billion in loans and $32 million related to hedging agreements had been utilized. We also owned approximately $34 million of ResCap secured notes (with a ResCap book value of $42 million). Amounts outstanding under the secured financing and hedging arrangements fluctuate. If ResCap were to file for bankruptcy, ResCap’s repayments of its financing facilities, including those with us, could be slower than if ResCap had not filed for bankruptcy. In addition, we could be an unsecured creditor of ResCap to the extent that the proceeds from the sale of our collateral are insufficient to repay ResCap’s obligations to us. It is possible that other ResCap creditors would seek to recharacterize our loans to ResCap as equity contributions or to seek equitable subordination of our claims so that the claims of other creditors would have priority over our claims. As a holder of unsecured notes, we would not receive any distributions for the benefit of creditors in a ResCap bankruptcy before secured creditors are repaid. In addition, should ResCap file for bankruptcy, our $1.0 billion investment related to ResCap’s equity position would likely be reduced to zero. GMAC would also have potential exposure relative to the recoverability of other assets attributable to ResCap of $115 million, primarily related to deferred tax assets. If a ResCap bankruptcy were to occur and a substantial amount of our credit exposure not repaid to us, it would have an adverse impact on our near-term net income and capital position, but we do not believe it would have a materially adverse impact on GMAC’s consolidated financial position over the longer term.

Change in Reportable Segment Information

As a result of a change in management’s view of certain corporate intercompany activities, we have reclassified certain transactions between our Mortgage operations reportable segment and our Corporate and Other reportable segment. These transactions relate to intercompany gains and losses associated with GMAC’s forgiveness of ResCap debt that was obtained by GMAC in open market repurchases and the December 2008 bond exchange. Prior to this reporting period, gains associated with this forgiveness were reported as part of our Mortgage operations segment, which required offsetting eliminations to be reported as part of our Corporate and Other reportable segment. These gains represent the difference between ResCap’s carrying value of the debt and the market value of the debt at the time of forgiveness. This reclassification was made because management no longer includes these gains in its evaluation of the Mortgage operations results. Further, this reclassification is intended to clarify and simplify the presentation of our segment results. As a result of the change in this reporting period, the associated gains and eliminations have both been reported within the Corporate and Other reportable segment. Comparative amounts for 2008 have been reclassified to conform to the current management view. These reclassifications did not affect our consolidated results of operations.

Issuance of Preferred Equity

On May 21, 2009, GMAC entered into an agreement with the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the Treasury) pursuant to which GMAC issued and sold to the Treasury (1) 150,000,000 units of GMAC’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Membership Interests, Series F, having a capital amount of $50 per unit (the Series F Interests) and (2) a ten-year warrant to purchase up to 7,501,500 units of the Series F Interests at an initial exercise price of $0.01 per unit (the Warrant) for an aggregate purchase price of $7.5 billion in cash. The Treasury immediately exercised the Warrant for a net issuance of 7,500,000 units of the Series F Interests. As described below, as a result of the Conversion (as defined below) the Series F Interests have been converted into GMAC Fixed Rate Cumulative Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Stock, Series F (Series F Preferred Stock).

The Series F Preferred Stock is convertible into GMAC common stock at the Conversion Rate (as defined below) either: (1) at GMAC’s option, at any time or from time to time, and subject to certain exceptions and requirements with the prior approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; or (2) at the Treasury’s option, upon the occurrence of (a) any public offering of GMAC common stock or (b) certain sales, mergers, or changes of control of GMAC. All units of the Series F Preferred Stock that remain outstanding on May 21, 2016, will convert into GMAC common stock at the Conversion Rate.

The “Conversion Rate” is equal to 0.00432, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, which represents the number of shares of common stock for which each unit of the Series F Preferred Stock will be exchanged upon conversion. The Conversion Rate was determined based on the valuation performed by an independent investment bank hired by GMAC with the consent of the Treasury.

GMAC Conversion

Effective June 30, 2009, GMAC was converted (the Conversion) from a Delaware limited liability company into a Delaware corporation pursuant to Section 18-216 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act and Section 265 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and was renamed “GMAC Inc.” In connection with the Conversion, each unit of each class of membership interest issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Conversion was converted into shares of capital stock of GMAC with substantially the same rights and preferences as such membership interests. Refer to Note 13 for additional information regarding the tax impact of the conversion.

Holders of GMAC’s common membership interests received an equivalent number of shares of common stock of GMAC Inc. Holders of GMAC’s GM Preferred Membership Interests received an equivalent number of shares of GMAC Fixed Rate Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A. Holders of GMAC’s Class C Membership Interests received an equivalent number of shares of GMAC Preferred Stock, Series C-1. Holders of GMAC’s Class D-1 Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Membership Interests received an equivalent number of shares of GMAC Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series D-1. Holders of GMAC’s Class D-2 Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Membership Interests received an equivalent number of shares of GMAC Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series D-2. Holders of GMAC’s Class E Fixed Rate Perpetual Preferred Membership Interests received an equivalent number of shares of GMAC’s Fixed Rate Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series E. Holders of GMAC’s Class F Fixed Rate Cumulative Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Membership Interests received an equivalent number of shares of GMAC Fixed Rate Cumulative Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Stock, Series F.

General Motors Emergence from Bankruptcy Protection

On July 10, 2009, General Motors Company (GM) completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Motors Liquidation Company (formerly known as General Motors Corporation) and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the Sellers). The sale was consummated in connection with the Sellers’ filing of voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the Bankruptcy Code) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the Bankruptcy Court), and was completed pursuant to Section 363(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and the Bankruptcy Court’s sale order dated July 5, 2009. We were notified that all material contracts that GM had with GMAC were transferred to the new GM entity including all of GM’s corresponding pre- and post-petition liabilities and payment obligations. Refer to Note 14 for further information.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

SFAS No. 141(R) — On January 1, 2009, we adopted SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations (SFAS 141(R)), which replaces FASB Statement No. 141, Business Combinations. SFAS 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how an acquiring company recognizes and measures the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The adoption of SFAS 141(R) did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

SFAS No. 160 — On January 1, 2009, we adopted SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS 160), which requires the ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent be clearly identified, labeled, and presented in the consolidated statement of financial position as equity, but separate from the parent’s equity. It also requires the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income. The adoption of SFAS 160 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

SFAS No. 161 — As of January 1, 2009, we adopted SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 requires specific disclosures regarding the location and amounts of derivative instruments in the financial statements; how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for; and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect the financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Because SFAS 161 impacted only the disclosure and not the accounting treatment for derivative instruments and related hedged items, the adoption of SFAS 161 did not have an impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations. Refer to Note 12 for disclosures required by SFAS 161.

SFAS No. 165 — As of June 30, 2009, we adopted SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events (SFAS 165), to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS 165 should be applied to interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 165 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

FSP FAS No. 140-3 — On January 1, 2009, we adopted FSP FAS No. 140-3, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets and Repurchase Financing Transactions (FSP FAS 140-3), which provides a consistent framework for the evaluation of a transfer of a financial asset and subsequent repurchase agreement entered into with the same counterparty. FSP FAS 140-3 provides that transfers of financial assets with subsequent repurchase agreements be viewed as a single transaction. The guidance further provides specific guidelines that, if met, would overcome the linking of the transactions and allow for the transactions to be viewed independently. The adoption of FSP FAS 140-3 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

FSP FAS No. 141(R)-1 — We retrospectively adopted FSP FAS No. 141(R)-1, Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies (FSP FAS 141(R)-1) as of January 1, 2009, to address application issues raised by preparers, auditors, and members of the legal profession on initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. The adoption of FSP FAS 141(R)-1 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

FSP FAS No. 142-3 — On January 1, 2009, we adopted FSP No. FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets (FSP FAS 142-3). FSP FAS 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used for purposes of determining the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142). FSP FAS 142-3 is intended to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS 141(R) and other GAAP. The adoption of FSP FAS 142-3 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

FSP FAS No. 107-1 and APB No. 28-1 — As of June 30, 2009, we adopted FSP FAS No. 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1) which amends SFAS 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim periods. Additionally, the guidance amends APB 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require these disclosures in all interim financial statements. This FSP is effective for periods ending after June 15, 2009. Since the guidance relates only to disclosures, adoption did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

FSP FAS No. 115-2 and FSP FAS No. 124-2 — As of April 1, 2009, we adopted FSP FAS No. 115-2 and FSP FAS No. 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments (FSP FAS 115-2 and FSP FAS 124-2), which amends the guidance for determining and recognizing impairment on debt securities. Under the FSP, an other-than-temporary impairment must be recognized if an entity has the intent to sell the debt security or if it is more-likely-than-not that it will be required to sell the debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. In addition, the FSP changes the amount of impairment to be recognized in current period earnings when an entity does not have the intent to sell or it is more-likely-than-not that it will be required to sell the debt security. In these cases, only the amount of the impairment associated with credit losses is recognized in earnings with all other fair value components in other comprehensive income. The FSP also requires additional disclosures regarding the calculation of credit losses as well as factors considered in reaching a conclusion that an investment is not other-than-temporarily impaired. The FSP is effective for periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of FSP FAS 115-2 and FSP FAS 124-2 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

FSP FAS No. 157-4 — As of April 1, 2009, we adopted FSP FAS No. 157-4, Determining Whether a Market is Not Active and a Transaction is Not Distressed (FSP FAS 157-4), which clarifies the guidance for determining fair value under SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements. This FSP provides application guidance to assist preparers in determining whether an observed transaction has occurred in an inactive market and is also distressed. This FSP is effective for periods ending after June 15, 2009. The impact of adopting FSP FAS 157-4 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

EITF Issue No. 08-5 — On January 1, 2009, we adopted EITF No. 08-5, Issuer’s Accounting for Liabilities at Fair Value with a Third-Party Credit Enhancement (Issue No. 08-5). Issue No. 08-5 states that the issuer of debt with a third-party credit enhancement that is inseparable from the debt instrument shall not include the effect of the credit enhancement in the fair value measurement of the liability. This Issue is effective on a prospective basis for periods beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of Issue No. 08-5 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

EITF Issue No. 08-6 — On January 1, 2009, we adopted EITF No. 08-6, Equity Method Investment Accounting Considerations (Issue No. 08-6), which addresses how the initial carrying value of an equity method investment should be determined, how an impairment assessment of an underlying indefinite-lived intangible asset of an equity method investment should be performed, how an equity method investee’s issuance of shares should be accounted for, and how to account for a change in an investment from the equity method to the cost method. The adoption of Issue No. 08-6 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

FSP FAS No. 132(R)-1 — In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 132(R)-1, Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets, to provide guidance on an employer’s disclosure about plan assets of a defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan. This FSP provides disclosure investment policies and strategies, categories of plan assets, fair value measurements, and significant concentrations of risk. This FSP is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. In the year of adoption, the provisions of this FSP are not required for earlier periods that are presented for comparative purposes. Since this impacts the disclosure and not the accounting treatment for benefit and other postretirement plans, adoption will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

SFAS No. 166 — In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140 (SFAS 166), to simplify guidance for transfers of financial assets in SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities. The guidance removes the

concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity (QSPE), which will result in securitization and other asset-backed financing vehicles to be evaluated for consolidation under SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) (SFAS 167). SFAS 166 also expands legal isolation analysis, limits when a portion of a financial asset can be derecognized, and clarifies that an entity must consider all arrangements or agreements made contemporaneously with, or in contemplation of, a transfer when applying the derecognition criteria. SFAS 166 is effective for first annual reporting periods beginning after November 15, 2009, and is to be applied prospectively. The elimination of the QSPE concept will require us to retrospectively assess all current off-balance sheet QSPE structures for consolidation under SFAS 167 and record a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings for any consolidation decisions. Retrospective application of SFAS 166, specifically the QSPE removal, is being assessed as part of SFAS 167, noted below.

SFAS No. 167 — In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 167, which addresses the primary beneficiary assessment criteria for determining whether an entity is to consolidate a variable interest entity (VIE). An entity shall consolidate a VIE (and thus be considered the primary beneficiary) if it contains both the following characteristics: the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affects economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. SFAS 167 also provides guidance in relation to the elimination of the QSPE concept from SFAS 166. This statement is effective for first annual reporting periods beginning after November 15, 2009. Management is currently assessing the retrospective impact of adoption due to the elimination of the QSPE concept.

SFAS No. 168 — In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and Hierarchy of GAAP; A replacement of SFAS 162 (SFAS 168), which eliminates SFAS 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, and allows the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification to become the single source of authoritative accounting guidance used in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, except for rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws, which are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The adoption of SFAS 168 will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

In April 2009, the FASB amended the other-than-temporary impairment model for debt securities through the issuance of FSP FAS 115-2 and FSP FAS 124-2. The impairment model for equity securities was not affected. Under the new guidance, other-than-temporary impairment losses for debt securities must be recognized in earnings if an entity has the intent to sell the security or it is more-likely-than-not-that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. However, even if an entity does not expect to sell a security, it must evaluate expected cash flows to be received and determine if a credit loss has occurred. In the event of a credit loss, only the amount of impairment associated with the credit loss is recognized in earnings. Amounts relating to factors other than credit losses are recorded in other comprehensive income. The guidance also requires additional disclosures regarding the calculation of credit losses as well as factors considered in reaching a conclusion that an investment is not other-than-temporarily impaired. We adopted the new guidance effective for the period ended June 30, 2009. We did not record a transition adjustment for securities held at June 30, 2009, that were previously considered other-than-temporarily impaired as all previously impaired securities remaining in the portfolio were equity securities.

We employ a systematic methodology that considers available evidence in evaluating potential other-than-temporary impairment of our investments classified as available-for-sale. If the cost of an investment exceeds its fair value, we evaluate, among other factors, the magnitude and duration of the decline in fair value, the financial health of and business outlook for the issuer, changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, the performance of the underlying assets for interests in securitized assets, whether we intend to sell the investment, and whether it is more-likely-than-not we will be required to sell the debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. We had other-than-temporary impairment write-downs of $1 million and $47 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, compared to $18 million and $22 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. The $1 million impairment for the three months ended June 30, 2009, related to credit-related losses for corporate debt securities and was accordingly recognized in earnings.

The table below summarizes available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position in accumulated other comprehensive income. Based on the methodology described above, which has been applied to these securities, we believe that the unrealized losses result from liquidity conditions in the current market environment. As of June 30, 2009, we do not intend to sell the debt securities with an unrealized loss position in accumulated other comprehensive income, and it is not more-likely-than-not that we will be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis. As a result, we believe that the securities with an unrealized loss in accumulated other comprehensive income are not considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of June 30, 2009.

As a result of becoming a bank holding company, we changed our charge-off policy during the second quarter of 2009, related to first-lien mortgage loans to comply with the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) guidelines. Therefore, first-lien mortgage loans are now written down to estimated collateral value, less costs to sell, once our mortgage loans become 180 days past due. The impact of this change resulted in incremental charge-offs of $318 million. Subsequent charge-offs in future periods are possible should collateral values decline. Prior period charge-offs and unpaid principal balances were not restated. Accordingly, the charge-off policy change was a driver for the significant increase in charge-offs reported during the second quarter of 2009. Further changes to the charge-off policy will be implemented during the second half of 2009 related to our automotive loans to become compliant with the FFIEC guidelines. These changes are not expected to have a material effect on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

6. Off-balance Sheet Securitizations

We sell pools of automotive and residential mortgage loans via securitization transactions that qualify for off-balance sheet treatment under GAAP. The purpose of these securitizations is to provide permanent funding and asset and liability management. In executing the securitization transactions, we typically sell the pools to wholly owned special-purpose entities (SPEs), which then sell the loans to a separate, transaction-specific, bankruptcy-remote SPE (a securitization trust) for cash, servicing rights, and in some transactions, retained interests. The securitization trust issues and sells interests to investors that are collateralized by the secured loans and entitle the investors to specified cash flows generated from the securitized loans. The following discussion and related information is only applicable to the transfers of finance receivables and loans that qualify as off-balance sheet requirements of SFAS 140.

Each securitization is governed by various legal documents that limit and specify the activities of the securitization vehicle. The securitization vehicle is generally allowed to acquire the loans being sold to it, to issue interests to investors to fund the acquisition of the loans, and to enter into derivatives or other yield maintenance contracts to hedge or mitigate certain risks related to the asset pool or debt securities. Additionally, the securitization vehicle is required to service the assets it holds and the debt or interest it has issued. A servicer appointed within the underlying legal documents performs these functions. Servicing functions include, but are not limited to, collecting payments from borrowers, performing escrow functions, monitoring delinquencies, liquidating assets, investing funds until distribution, remitting payments to investors, and accounting for and reporting information to investors.

Generally, the assets initially transferred into the securitization vehicle are the sole funding source to the investors and the various other parties that perform services for the transaction, such as the servicer or the trustee. In certain transactions, a liquidity provider or facility may exist to provide temporary liquidity to the structure. The liquidity provider generally is reimbursed prior to other parties in subsequent distribution periods. Bond insurance may also exist to cover certain shortfalls to certain investors. In certain securitizations, the servicer is required to advance scheduled principal and interest payments due on the pool regardless of whether they have been received from the borrowers. The servicer is allowed to reimburse itself for these servicing advances. Lastly, certain securitization transactions may allow for the acquisition of additional loans subsequent to the initial loan. Principal collections on other loans and/or the issuance of new interests, such as variable funding notes, generally fund these loans; we are often contractually required to invest in these new interests. Additionally, we provide certain guarantees as discussed in Note 26 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

As part of our securitizations, we typically retain servicing responsibilities and other retained interests. Accordingly, our servicing responsibilities result in continued involvement in the form of servicing the underlying asset (primary servicing) and/or servicing the bonds resulting from the securitization transactions (master servicing) through servicing platforms. As noted above, certain securitizations require the servicer to advance scheduled principal and interest payments due on the pool regardless of whether they are received from borrowers. Accordingly, we are required to provide these servicing advances when applicable. In certain of our securitizations, we may be required to fund certain investor-triggered put redemptions and are allowed to reimburse ourselves by repurchasing loans at par. Typically, we have concluded that the fee we are paid for servicing retail automotive finance receivables represents adequate compensation, and consequently we do not recognize a servicing asset or liability. We do not recognize a servicing asset or liability for automotive wholesale loans because of their short-term revolving nature. Additionally, we retain the rights to cash flows remaining after the investors in most securitization trusts have received their contractual payments. In certain retail automotive securitization transactions, retail receivables are sold on a servicing retained basis with no servicing compensation, and as such, a servicing liability is established and reported as accrued expenses and other liabilities. As of June 30, 2009, servicing liabilities of less than $1 million were outstanding related to these retail automotive securitization transactions. As of December 31, 2008, servicing liabilities of $1 million were outstanding related to these retail automotive securitization transactions. Refer to Note 1 and Note 22 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K regarding the valuation of servicing rights.

We maintain cash reserve accounts at predetermined amounts for certain securitization activities in the event that deficiencies occur in cash flows owed to the investors. The amounts available in these cash reserve accounts relate to securitizations of retail finance receivables, wholesale loans, and residential mortgage loans.

The retained interests we may receive represent a continuing economic interest in the securitization. Retained interests include, but are not limited to, senior or subordinate mortgage- or asset-backed securities, interest-only strips, principal-only strips, and residuals. Certain of these retained interests provide credit enhancement to the securitization structure as they may absorb credit losses or other cash shortfalls. Additionally, the securitization documents may require cash flows to be directed away from certain of our retained interests due to specific over-collateralization requirements, which may or may not be performance-driven. The value of any interests that continue to be held take into consideration the features of the securitization transaction and are generally subject to credit, prepayment, and/or interest rate risks on the transferred financial assets. Refer to Note 1 and Note 22 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K regarding the valuation of retained interests. We are typically not required to continue retaining these interests. In the past, we have sold certain of these retained interests when it best aligns to our economic or strategic plans.

The investors and/or securitization trusts have no recourse to us with the exception of customary market representation and warranty repurchase provisions and, in certain transactions, early payment default provisions. Representation and warranty repurchase provisions generally require us to repurchase loans to the extent it is subsequently determined that the loans were ineligible or were otherwise defective at the time of sale. Due to market conditions, early payment default provisions were included in certain securitization transactions that require us to repurchase loans if the borrower is delinquent in making certain specific payments subsequent to the sale.

We hold certain conditional repurchase options that allow us to repurchase assets from the securitization. The majority of the securitizations provide us, as servicer, with a call option that allows us to repurchase the remaining assets or outstanding

debt once the asset pool reaches a predefined level, which represents the point where servicing is burdensome rather than beneficial. Such an option is referred to as a clean-up call. As servicer, we are able to exercise this option at our discretion anytime after the asset pool size falls below the predefined level. The repurchase price for the loans is typically par plus accrued interest. Additionally, we may hold other conditional repurchase options that allow us to repurchase the asset if certain events, outside our control, are met. The typical conditional repurchase option is a delinquent loan repurchase option that gives us the option to purchase the loan if it exceeds a certain prespecified delinquency level. We have complete discretion regarding when or if we will exercise these options, but generally we will do so when it is in our best interest.

As required under GAAP, the loans sold into off-balance sheet securitization transactions are removed from our balance sheet. The assets obtained from the securitization are reported as cash, retained interests, or servicing rights. We have elected fair value treatment for our existing mortgage servicing rights portfolio. We classify our retained interest portfolio as trading securities, available-for-sale securities, or other assets. The portfolio is carried at fair value with valuation adjustments reported through earnings or equity. We report the valuation adjustments related to trading securities as other income (loss) on investments, net, in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. The valuation adjustments related to unrealized gains and losses of our available-for-sale securities are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. We report the realized gains and losses of our available-for-sale securities as other income (loss) on investments, net, in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. The valuation adjustments and any gains and losses recognized by our retained interests classified as other assets are reported as other income, net of losses, in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. Liabilities incurred as part of the transaction, such as representation and warranties provisions or early payment default provisions, are recorded at fair value at the time of sale and are reported as accrued expenses and other liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Upon the sale of the loans, we recognize a gain or loss on sale for the difference between the assets recognized, the assets derecognized, and the liabilities recognized as part of the transaction. On the securitization transactions of automotive wholesale loans, we recognized pretax gains of $38 million and $102 million during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, compared to pretax gains of $69 million and $172 million during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. On the securitization transactions of residential mortgage loans, we did not recognized any gains or losses during the three months ended June 30, 2009; however, we did recognize pretax losses of $4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009. During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008, we recognized pretax losses of $156 million and $162 million, respectively, on the securitization transactions of residential mortgage loans. There were no securitization transactions of retail automotive finance receivables during 2009 due to market conditions; however, during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008, we recognized pretax losses of $78 million and $68 million, respectively.

As of June 30, 2009, we pledged MSRs of $2.4 billion as collateral for borrowings compared to $1.8 billion as of December 31, 2008. For a description of MSRs and the related hedging strategy, refer to Notes 9 and 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Changes in fair value, due to changes in valuation inputs or assumptions used in the valuation models, include all changes due to revaluation by a model or by a benchmarking exercise. Other changes in fair value primarily include the accretion of the present value of the discount related to forecasted cash flows and the economic runoff of the portfolio, foreign currency translation adjustments, and the extinguishment of MSRs related to the exercise of clean-up calls of securitization transactions.

Key assumptions we use in valuing our MSRs are as follows:

 

     June 30,
      2009      2008

Range of prepayment speeds

   0.7–49.0%      0.7–47.6%

Range of discount rates

   3.3–130.3%      5.3–31.8%
 

The primary risk of our servicing rights is interest rate risk and the resulting impact on prepayments. A significant decline in interest rates could lead to higher-than-expected prepayments, which could reduce the value of the MSRs. Historically, we have economically hedged the income statement impact of these risks with both derivative and nonderivative financial instruments. These instruments include interest rate swaps, caps and floors, options to purchase these items, futures, and forward contracts and/or purchasing or selling U.S. Treasury and principal-only securities. The fair value of derivative financial instruments used to mitigate these risks amounted to $443 million and $594 million at June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The change in fair value of the derivative financial instruments amounted to a loss of $902 million and a gain of $167 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and is included in servicing asset valuation and hedge activities, net, in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income.

During the fourth quarter of 2008, GMAC Mortgage, LLC, a subsidiary of ResCap, notified Fannie Mae that it was in breach of one of the servicer rating requirements as set forth in the master agreement and contract between Fannie Mae and GMAC Mortgage, LLC. As a result of this breach, Fannie Mae was entitled to exercise certain rights and remedies as permitted by its contract with GMAC Mortgage, LLC. On June 22, 2009, Fitch Ratings upgraded GMAC Mortgage, LLC’s primary servicer rating bringing GMAC Mortgage, LLC into compliance with the requirements of its master servicing agreements with respect to that rating. During the interim period GMAC Mortgage, LLC operated under a series of temporary waivers granted by Fannie Mae pursuant to which Fannie Mae was allowed to conduct enhanced servicing reviews to ensure GMAC Mortgage, LLC continued to provide satisfactory servicing performance.

If at any month end ResCap’s consolidated tangible net worth, as defined, falls below $1.0 billion, Fannie Mae has the right to pursue certain remedies. These remedies could include, among other things, reducing ResCap’s ability to sell loans to Fannie Mae, reducing ResCap’s capacity to service loans for Fannie Mae, requiring Fannie Mae to transfer servicing of loans ResCap services for them, or requiring the posting of additional collateral. If Fannie Mae determines to exercise their contractual remedies as described above, it would adversely affect ResCap’s profitability and financial condition. Additionally, a consolidated tangible net worth, as defined, below $1.0 billion and/or further deterioration in financial performance could impact ResCap’s servicer rating. Servicer ratings are required to be maintained at certain levels as set forth in the Master Agreement between Fannie Mae and GMAC Mortgage, LLC. If the servicer ratings fall below the minimum level, Fannie Mae would be entitled to exercise certain rights and remedies, including those described above and the right to terminate its mortgage selling and servicing contract with ResCap, as permitted by the contract with GMAC Mortgage, LLC. Any such termination of the mortgage selling and servicing contract could trigger cross default provision in certain facilities.

This test was initiated in light of a more-than-likely expectation that one of its reporting units or a significant portion of one of its reporting units would be sold. Based upon the preliminary results of the assessment, we concluded that the carrying value of one of its reporting units exceeded its fair value. The fair value was determined using an offer provided by a willing purchaser.
(b) During the three months ended June 30, 2009, our Insurance operations sold one of its reporting units resulting in a $107 million decrease to goodwill.

11. Regulatory Capital

As a bank holding company, we and our wholly owned banking subsidiary, Ally Bank, are subject to risk-based capital and leverage guidelines by federal regulators that require that our capital-to-assets ratios meet certain minimum standards. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary action by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on our consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, we must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of our assets and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Our capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk-weightings, and other factors.

The risk-based capital ratio is determined by allocating assets and specified off-balance sheet financial instruments into six weighted categories with higher levels of capital being required for the categories perceived as representing greater risk. Under the guidelines, total capital is divided into two tiers: Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital. Tier 1 capital generally consists of common equity, minority interests, and qualifying preferred stock (including fixed-rate cumulative preferred stock issued and sold to the U.S. Department of Treasury) less goodwill and other adjustments. Tier 2 capital generally consists of preferred stock not qualifying as Tier 1 capital, limited amounts of subordinated debt, the allowance for loan losses, and other adjustments. The amount of Tier 2 capital may not exceed the amount of Tier 1 capital.

Total risk-based capital is the sum of Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital. Under the guidelines, banking organizations are required to maintain a minimum Total risk-based capital ratio (total capital to risk-weighted assets) of 8% and a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 4%. A banking institution is considered “well-capitalized” when its Total risk-based capital ratio exceeds 10% and its Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio exceeds 6% unless subject to regulatory directive to maintain higher capital levels.

The federal banking regulators also have established minimum leverage ratio guidelines. The leverage ratio is defined as Tier 1 capital divided by adjusted average total assets (which reflect adjustments for disallowed goodwill and certain intangible assets). The minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio is 3% or 4% depending on factors specified in the regulations.

In conjunction with the conclusion of the Supervising Capital Assessment Program (S-CAP), the banking regulators have developed a new measure of capital called Tier 1 common defined as Tier 1 capital less noncommon elements including qualified perpetual preferred stock, qualifying minority interest in subsidiaries and qualifying trust preferred securities.

On July 21, 2008, GMAC, FIM Holdings, IB Finance Holding Company, LLC, Ally Bank, and the FDIC entered into a Capital and Liquidity Maintenance Agreement (CLMA). The CLMA requires capital at Ally Bank to be maintained at a level such that Ally Bank’s leverage ratio is at least 11% for a three-year period. For this purpose, leverage ratio is determined in accordance with the FDIC’s regulations related to capital maintenance.

Additionally, on May 21, 2009, the FRB granted an expanded exemption from Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act. The exemption requires GMAC to maintain a Total risk-based capital ratio of 15% and Ally Bank to maintain a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 15%.

The minimum risk-based capital requirements adopted by the federal banking agencies follow the Capital Accord of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. Currently all U.S. banks are subject to the Basel I capital rules. The Basel Committee issued Basel II Capital Rules, and the U.S. regulators have issued companion rules applicable to certain U.S. domiciled institutions. GMAC qualifies as a “mandatory” bank holding company that must comply with the U.S. Basel II rules. We continue to monitor developments with respect to Basel II requirements and are working to ensure successful execution within the required time.

The following table summarizes our capital ratios. GMAC was not required to calculate risk-based capital ratios, a leverage ratio, or a Tier 1 common ratio prior to becoming a bank holding company in December 2008. Therefore, the methodology of calculating these ratios may be refined over time.

At June 30, 2009, GMAC and Ally Bank met all required minimum ratios and were “well-capitalized” under the federal regulatory agencies’ definitions as summarized in the table above.

As required by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System’s S-CAP program, by no later than November 9, 2009, GMAC is required to increase the common shareholder equity component of Tier 1 capital by $11.5 billion. By the same date, GMAC must also increase overall Tier 1 capital by $9.1 billion. Depending on the method of capital augmentation used, the increase in common shareholder equity may accomplish the increase in overall Tier 1 capital. The $3.5 billion investment by the U.S. Treasury is new Tier 1 capital for the company toward this program and reduces the level of new capital required to $5.6 billion. Consistent with the S-CAP program requirements, we submitted a Capital Plan to the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago in June 2009 with respect to the remaining capital required. While the U.S. Treasury has indicated that it may be willing to provide additional new capital, we continue to evaluate other alternatives to meet our capital requirements.

 

12. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

We enter into interest rate and foreign currency swaps, futures, forwards, options, swaptions, and credit default swaps in connection with our market risk management activities. Derivative instruments are used to manage interest rate risk relating to specific groups of assets and liabilities, including investment securities, loans held-for-sale, mortgage servicing rights, debt, and deposits. In addition, we use foreign exchange contracts to mitigate foreign currency risk associated with foreign-currency-denominated debt and foreign exchange transactions. Our primary objective for utilizing derivative financial instruments is to manage market risk volatility associated with interest rate and foreign currency risks related to the assets and liabilities of our automotive finance and mortgage operations. One of the key goals of our risk-mitigation strategy is to modify the asset and liability and interest rate mix including the assets and liabilities associated with securitization transactions that may be recorded as off-balance sheet SPEs. In addition, we use derivative financial instruments to mitigate the risk of changes in the fair values of loans held-for-sale and mortgage servicing rights.

Interest Rate Risk

We execute interest rate swaps to modify our exposure to interest rate risk by converting fixed-rate instruments to a variable rate. We also enter into derivative instrument contracts to hedge exposure to variability in cash flows related to variable-rate financial instruments.

We have applied hedge accounting for certain derivative instruments used to hedge fixed-rate and variable-rate debt. We monitor our mix of fixed- and variable-rate debt in relationship to the rate profile of our assets. When it is cost effective to do so, we may enter into interest rate swaps to achieve our desired mix of fixed- and variable-rate debt.

Our fair value hedges consist of hedges of fixed-rate debt obligations including those received through advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (FHLB). Individual swaps are designated as one-for-one hedges of specific fixed-rate debt obligations, except for the advances from the FHLB, which are designated as hedges of a portfolio because the advances are grouped into similar liability pools. As of June 30, 2009, outstanding interest rate swaps designated as fair value accounting hedges held in an asset position had a fair value of $629 million, and those held in a liability position had a fair value of $106 million. The outstanding notional amount as of June 30, 2009, was $25.1 billion.

Interest rate swaps are also used to modify exposure to variability in expected future cash flows attributable to variable-rate debt. Similar to our fair value hedges, the swaps are generally entered into or traded concurrent with the debt issuance. As of June 30, 2009, there were no outstanding cash flow hedging relationships.

We enter into economic hedges to mitigate exposure for the following categories:

 

   

Mortgage servicing rights and retained interests — Our mortgage servicing rights and retained interest portfolios are generally subject to loss in value when mortgage rates decline. Declining mortgage rates generally result in an increase in refinancing activity that increases prepayments and results in a decline in the value of mortgage servicing rights and retained interests. To mitigate the impact of this risk, we maintain a portfolio of financial instruments, primarily derivatives that increase in value when interest rates decline. The primary objective is to minimize the overall risk of loss in the value of mortgage servicing rights due to the change in fair value caused by interest rate changes and their interrelated impact to prepayments.

We use a multitude of derivative instruments to manage the interest rate risk related to mortgage servicing rights and retained interests. They include, but are not limited to, interest rate futures contracts, call or put options on U.S. Treasuries, swaptions, MBS futures, U.S. Treasury futures, interest rate swaps, interest rate floors, and interest rate caps. While we do not utilize nonderivative instruments (e.g., U.S. Treasuries) to hedge this portfolio, we have utilized them previously and may utilize them again in the future. We monitor and actively manage our risk on a daily basis, and therefore trading volume can be large.

As of June 30, 2009, outstanding contracts held in an asset position had a fair value of $789 million, and those held in a liability position had a fair value of $287 million. The outstanding notional amount was $145.2 billion as of June 30, 2009.

 

   

Mortgage loan commitments and mortgage and auto loans held-for-sale — We are exposed to interest rate risk from the time an interest rate lock commitment (IRLC) is made until the time the mortgage loan is sold. Changes in interest rates impact the market price for our loans; as market interest rates decline, the value of existing IRLCs and loans held-for-sale go up and vice versa. Our primary objective in risk management activities related to IRLCs and mortgage and automotive loans held-for-sale is to eliminate or greatly reduce any interest rate risk associated with these items.

The primary derivative instrument we use to accomplish this objective for mortgage loans and IRLCs is forward sales of mortgage-backed securities, primarily Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac to-be-announced securities. These instruments typically are entered into at the time the IRLC is made. The value of the forward sales contracts moves in the opposite direction of the value of our IRLCs and mortgage loans held-for-sale. We also use other derivatives, such as interest rate swaps, options, and futures, to hedge automotive loans held-for-sale and certain portions of the mortgage portfolio. Nonderivative instruments may also be periodically used to economically hedge the mortgage portfolio, such as short positions on U.S. Treasuries. We monitor and actively manage our risk on a daily basis.

We do not apply hedge accounting to our derivative portfolio held to economically hedge the IRLCs and mortgage and automotive loans held-for-sale. As of June 30, 2009, outstanding contracts held in an asset position had a fair value of $145 million, and those held in a liability position had a fair value of $94 million. The outstanding notional amount was $15.4 billion as of June 30, 2009.

 

   

Off-balance sheet securitization activities — We enter into interest rate swaps to facilitate securitization transactions where the underlying receivables are sold to a nonconsolidated qualifying special-purpose entity (QSPE). As the underlying assets are carried in a nonconsolidated entity, the interest rate swaps do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. As of June 30, 2009, outstanding contracts held in an asset position had a fair value of $216 million. The outstanding notional amount was $6.5 billion as of June 30, 2009.

 

   

Debt — As part of our previous on-balance sheet securitizations and/or secured aggregation facilities, certain interest rate swaps or interest rate caps have been included within consolidated variable interest entities; these swaps or caps were generally required to meet certain rating agency requirements or were required by the facility lender/provider. The interest rate swaps and/or caps are generally entered into when the debt is issued; accordingly, current trading activity on this particular derivative portfolio is minimal.

With the exception of a portion of our fixed-rate debt (which includes advances from the FHLB), we have not applied hedge accounting to our derivative portfolio held to economically hedge our debt portfolio. Typically, the significant terms of the interest rate swaps match the significant terms of the underlying debt resulting in an effective conversion of the rate of the related debt. As of June 30, 2009, outstanding contracts held in an asset position had a fair value of $646 million, and those held in a liability position had a fair value of $910 million. The outstanding notional was $76.8 billion as of June 30, 2009.

 

   

Callable debt obligations — We enter into cancellable interest rate swaps as economic hedges of certain callable fixed-rate debt in connection with our market risk management policy. If the hedging relationship does not meet a specified effectiveness assessment threshold, it will be treated as an economic hedge. Prior to May 2007, all cancellable swaps hedging callable debt were treated as economic hedges. As of June 30, 2009, outstanding contracts held in an asset position had a fair value of $12 million and an outstanding notional amount of $640 million.

 

   

Other — We enter into futures, options, swaptions, and credit default swaps to hedge our net fixed versus variable interest rate exposure. As of June 30, 2009, outstanding contracts held in an asset position had a fair value of $3 million, and those held in a liability position had a fair value of $27 million. The outstanding notional amount was $50 million as of June 30, 2009.

Foreign Currency Risk

We enter into derivative financial instrument contracts to hedge exposure to variability in cash flows related to foreign currency financial instruments. Currency swaps and forwards are used to hedge foreign exchange exposure on foreign-currency-denominated debt by converting the funding currency to the same currency of the assets being financed. Similar to our interest rate hedges, the swaps are generally entered into or traded concurrent with the debt issuance with the terms of the swap matching the terms of the underlying debt.

Our non-U.S. subsidiaries maintain both assets and liabilities in local currencies; these local currencies are the subsidiaries’ functional currencies for accounting purposes. Foreign currency exchange rate gains and losses arise when our assets or liabilities or our subsidiaries are denominated in currencies that differ from its functional currency. In addition, our equity is impacted by the cumulative translation adjustments resulting from the translation of foreign subsidiary results; this impact is reflected in our other comprehensive income (loss). Foreign currency risk is reviewed as part of our risk-management process. The principal currencies creating foreign exchange risk are the U.K. sterling and the Euro.

In addition, we have a centralized lending program to manage liquidity for all of our subsidiary businesses. Foreign-currency-denominated loan agreements are executed with our foreign subsidiaries in their local currencies. We evaluate our foreign currency exposure resulting from intercompany lending and manage our currency risk exposure by entering into foreign currency derivatives with external counterparties. Our foreign currency derivatives are recorded at fair value with changes recorded as income offsetting the gains and losses on the hedged foreign currency transactions.

Our current strategy is to economically hedge foreign currency risk that is denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar (USD). The principal objective of the foreign currency hedges is to mitigate the earnings volatility specifically created by currency exchange rate gains and losses.

With limited exceptions, we have elected not to treat any foreign currency derivatives as hedges for accounting purposes principally because the changes in the fair values of the foreign currency swaps are substantially offset by the foreign currency revaluation gains and losses of the underlying assets and liabilities.

As of June 30, 2009, outstanding foreign currency swaps designated as cash flow accounting hedges held in a liability position had a fair value of $73 million. The outstanding notional amount was $401 million as of June 30, 2009.

As of June 30, 2009, outstanding foreign currency exchange derivatives not designated as hedges for accounting purposes held in an asset position had a fair value of $699 million, and those held in a liability position had a fair value of $474 million. The outstanding notional amount was $19.8 billion as of June 30, 2009.

Credit Risk

Derivative financial instruments contain an element of credit risk if counterparties are unable to meet the terms of the agreements. Credit risk associated with derivative financial instruments is measured as the net replacement cost should the counterparties that owe us under the contract completely fail to perform under the terms of those contracts, assuming no recoveries of underlying collateral, as measured by the market value of the derivative financial instrument. At June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008, the market value of derivative financial instruments in an asset or receivable position was $3.1 billion and $5 billion including accrued interest of $413 million and $271 million, respectively. At June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008, the market value of derivative financial instruments in a liability or payable position was $2.0 billion and $2.6 billion including accrued interest of $87 million and $104 million, respectively.

To further mitigate the risk of counterparty default, we maintain collateral agreements with certain counterparties. The agreements require both parties to maintain collateral in the event the fair values of the derivative financial instruments meet established thresholds. In the event that either party defaults on the obligation, the secured party may seize the collateral. Generally our collateral arrangements are bilateral such that we and the counterparty post collateral for the value of their total obligation to each other. Contractual terms provide for standard and customary exchange of collateral based upon changes in the market value of the outstanding derivatives. The securing party posts additional collateral when their obligation has risen or removes collateral when it has fallen. We also have unilateral collateral agreements whereby we are the only entity required to post collateral. We have placed cash collateral totaling $1.5 billion and $1.6 billion at June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008, respectively, in accounts maintained by counterparties. We have received cash collateral from counterparties totaling $526 million and $1.5 billion at June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008, respectively. The collateral placed and received are included on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet in other assets and accrued expenses and other liabilities, respectively. In certain circumstances, we receive or post securities as collateral with counterparties. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, we do not record such collateral received on our statement of financial position unless certain conditions have been met.

Accounting Treatment

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, all derivative financial instruments, whether designated for hedging relationships or not, are recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as assets or liabilities and carried at fair value. Due to the nature of derivative instruments, they may be in a receivable/asset position or a payable/liability position at the end of an accounting period.

At the inception of a derivative contract, we determine whether the instrument will be part of a qualifying hedge accounting relationship. For each of these relationships, we designate the qualifying derivative financial instrument as a hedge of the fair value of a recognized asset or liability (fair value hedge) or a hedge of the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability (cash flow hedge). We also use derivative financial instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting under GAAP. Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges, along with the gain or loss on the hedged asset or liability attributable to the hedged risk, are recorded in current period earnings. For qualifying cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the change in the fair value of the derivative financial instruments is recorded as other comprehensive income, a component of equity, and is recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income when the hedged cash flows affect earnings. Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments held for risk management purposes that do not meet the criteria to qualify for hedge accounting under GAAP or for which management has not elected hedge accounting treatment are reported in current period earnings. The ineffective portions of fair value and cash flow hedges are immediately recognized in earnings. Ineffectiveness is measured based on the difference in the fair value movement of the swap and the related hedged debt or cash flows. Effectiveness is assessed using historical data. We assess hedge effectiveness by employing a statistical-based approach, which must meet thresholds for R-squared, slope, F-statistic, and T-statistic.

We formally document all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as our risk management objectives for undertaking various hedge transactions. This process includes linking all derivatives that are designated as fair value or cash flow hedges to specific assets and liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, to specific firm commitments or the forecasted transactions. Both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, we formally assesses

whether the derivatives that are used in hedging relationships are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items.

The hedge accounting treatment described above is no longer applied if a derivative financial instrument is terminated or the hedge designation is removed. For terminated fair value hedges, any changes to the hedged asset or liability remain as part of the basis of the asset or liability and are recognized into income over the remaining life of the asset or liability. For terminated cash flow hedges, unless it is probable that the forecasted cash flow will not occur within a specified time frame, any changes in fair value of the derivative financial instrument remain in other comprehensive income, a component of equity, and are reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged cash flows affects earnings.

13. Income Taxes

Effective June 30, 2009, GMAC LLC was converted (the Conversion) from a limited liability company (LLC) into a corporation and renamed GMAC Inc. As a result of the Conversion, GMAC Inc. will be subject to corporate U.S. federal, state, and local taxes beginning in the third quarter of 2009. Due to our change in tax status as of June 30, 2009, a net deferred tax liability of $1.2 billion was established through income tax expense.

GMAC LLC, along with certain U.S. subsidiaries, were pass-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes prior to the Conversion. Prior to the Conversion, U.S. federal, state, and local income taxes were not provided for these entities as they were not taxable entities with the exception of a few local jurisdictions that tax LLCs or partnerships. LLC members are required to report their share of our taxable income on their respective income tax returns. In addition, GMAC LLC’s banking, insurance, and foreign subsidiaries were generally corporations and subject to, and required to provide for U.S. federal and foreign income taxes. The Conversion did not change the tax status of these subsidiaries. The income tax

The effective tax rates of (39.9)% and (27.6)% for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, were negatively impacted by our conversion from an LLC to a corporation. Excluding this impact, the effective rates were 3.6% and 6.2% for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, reflective of an equal pretax loss split between our pass-through and taxable entities, whereas our taxable entities are subject to income tax rates in U.S. and foreign tax jurisdictions ranging from 25% to 35%. Compared to the same periods in 2008, the effective tax rates (7.5)% and (6.7)% resulted from higher losses within our taxable entities combined with valuation allowances established on deferred tax assets of certain foreign operations, primarily mortgage operations in continental Europe, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia. These valuation allowances were established because, based on historical losses and expected future taxable income, it was no longer more-likely-than-not that these net deferred tax assets would be realized.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities result from differences between assets and liabilities measured for financial reporting purposes and those measured for income tax purposes. The Conversion resulted in a $1.2 billion increase in income tax expense related to the establishment of deferred tax liabilities and assets of $2.2 billion and $947 million, respectively. The significant components of deferred tax assets and liabilities after consideration of these adjustments are reflected in the following table.

(a) In November 2006, GMAC retained an investment in a note secured by operating lease assets transferred to GM. As part of the transfer, GMAC provided a note to a trust, a wholly owned subsidiary of GM. The note is classified in investment securities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
(b) Represents wholesale financing and term loans to certain dealerships wholly owned by GM or in which GM has an interest. The loans are generally secured by the underlying vehicles or assets of the dealerships.
(c) Includes vehicles, buildings, and other equipment classified as operating lease assets that are leased to GM-affiliated entities. These leases are secured by the underlying assets.
(d) Represents wholesale financing we provide to GM for vehicles, parts, and accessories in which GM retains title while consigned to us or dealers primarily in the UK, Italy, and Germany. The financing to GM remains outstanding until the title is transferred to the dealers. The amount of financing provided to GM under this arrangement varies based on inventory levels. These loans are secured by the underlying vehicles or other assets.
(e) Represents prepayments made by GM pursuant to the terms of the Sale Transactions requiring that the aggregate amount of certain unsecured obligations of GM to us not exceed $1.5 billion. Subsequent to December 31, 2008, a new agreement was reached between GMAC and GM with new limitations on unsecured exposure going forward. Generally, unsecured exposure based on what we believe from time to time to be “probable” amounts owed from GM will be limited to $2.1 billion; and unsecured exposures based on “maximum” possible amounts owed will be limited to $4.1 billion. This distinction was established to more easily manage exposures since certain amounts that will be owed to us from GM (e.g., pursuant to risk-sharing and similar arrangements) are based on variables and assumptions that may change over time. During the three months ended June 30, 2009, GM filed for bankruptcy protection, causing us to modify assumptions around the magnitude of various exposures. This resulted in significant exposure reduction prepayments made by GM to us during the three months ended June 30, 2009.

(a) On January 16, 2009, we completed a $1.25 billion rights offering pursuant to which we issued additional common membership interests to FIM Holdings and a subsidiary of GM. On December 29, 2008, GM and an affiliate of Cerberus Capital Management contributed to GMAC $750 million subordinated participations in a $3.5 billion senior secured credit facility between GMAC and ResCap in exchange for additional common membership interests in GMAC.
(b) Pursuant to the operating agreement with our shareholders, our shareholders are permitted distributions to pay the taxes they incur from ownership of their GMAC interests. In March 2009, we executed a transaction that had 2008 tax-reporting implications for our shareholders. In accordance with the operating agreement, the approval of both our Board of Directors and the U.S. Department of Treasury was obtained in advance for the payment of tax distributions to our shareholders. Amounts distributed to GM and FIM Holdings were $48 million and $46 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Additionally, the 2009 amount includes $24 million of remittances to GM for tax settlements and refunds received related to tax periods prior to the Sale Transactions. The 2008 amounts primarily represent remittances to GM for tax settlements and refunds received related to tax periods prior to the Sale Transactions as required by the terms of the Purchase and Sale Agreement between GM and FIM Holdings.

GM, GM dealers, and GM-related employees compose a significant portion of our customer base, and our Global Automotive Finance operations are highly dependent on GM production and sales volume. As a result, a significant adverse change in GM’s business, including significant adverse changes in GM’s liquidity position and access to the capital markets, the production or sale of GM vehicles, the quality or resale value of GM vehicles, the use of GM marketing incentives, GM’s relationships with its key suppliers, GM’s relationship with the United Auto Workers and other labor unions, and other factors impacting GM or its employees could have a significant adverse effect on our profitability and financial condition.

We provide vehicle financing through purchases of retail automotive and lease contracts with retail customers of primarily GM dealers. We also finance the purchase of new and used vehicles by GM dealers through wholesale financing, extend other financing to GM dealers, provide fleet financing for GM dealers to buy vehicles they rent or lease to others, provide wholesale vehicle inventory insurance to GM dealers, provide automotive extended service contracts through GM dealers, and offer other services to GM dealers. As a result, GM’s level of automobile production and sales directly impacts our financing and leasing volume; the premium revenue for wholesale vehicle inventory insurance; the volume of automotive extended service contracts; and the profitability and financial condition of the GM dealers to whom we provide wholesale financing, term loans, and fleet financing. In addition, the quality of GM vehicles affects our obligations under automotive extended service contracts relating to such vehicles. Further, the resale value of GM vehicles, which may be impacted by various factors relating to GM’s business such as brand image, the number of new GM vehicles produced, the number of used vehicles remarketed, or reduction in core brands, affects the remarketing proceeds we receive upon the sale of repossessed vehicles and off-lease vehicles at lease termination.

Our Global Automotive Finance operations are highly dependent on GM sales volume. In 2008 and 2009, global vehicle sales declined rapidly, and there is no assurance that the global automotive market or GM’s share of that market will not suffer a significant further downturn. Vehicle sales volume could be further adversely impacted by ongoing restructuring that is expected to reduce the number of GM retail channels and core brands or consolidate GM’s dealer network. Furthermore, with GM’s recent emergence from bankruptcy protection, it is difficult to predict with certainty the consequences of the bankruptcy filing and the impact it could have on consumer sentiment and GM’s business. Any negative impact could in turn have a material adverse affect on our business, results of operations, and financial position.

As of June 30, 2009, we had an estimated $1.7 billion in secured credit exposure, which includes primarily wholesale vehicle financing to GM-owned dealerships, notes receivable from GM, and vehicles leased directly to GM. We further had

approximately $750 million in unsecured credit exposure, which includes estimates of payments from GM related to residual support and risk-sharing agreements. Under the terms of certain agreements between GMAC and GM, GMAC has the right to offset certain of its exposures to GM against amounts GMAC owes to GM.

As of June 30, 2009, we have not established a loss allowance relative to our credit exposure to GM. We were notified that all material contracts that GM had with GMAC were transferred to the new GM entity including all of GM’s corresponding pre- and post-petition liabilities and payment obligations.

Retail and Lease Programs

GM may elect to sponsor incentive programs (on both retail contracts and operating leases) by supporting financing rates below the standard market rates at which we purchase retail contracts and leases. These marketing incentives are also referred to as rate support or subvention. When GM utilizes these marketing incentives, they pay us the present value of the difference between the customer rate and our standard rate at contract inception, which we defer and recognize as a yield adjustment over the life of the contract.

GM may also sponsor residual support programs as a way to lower customer monthly payments. Under residual support programs, the customer’s contractual residual value is adjusted above our standard residual values. In addition, under risk-sharing programs and eligible contracts, GM shares equally in residual losses at the time of the vehicle’s disposal to the extent that remarketing proceeds are below our standard residual values (limited to a floor).

For North American lease originations and balloon retail contract originations occurring in the United States after April 30, 2006, and in Canada after November 30, 2006, that remained with us after the consummation of the Sale Transactions, GM agreed to begin payment of the present value of the expected residual support owed to us at contract origination as opposed to after contract termination at the time of sale of the related vehicle. The residual support amount GM actually owes us is finalized as the leases actually terminate. Under the terms of the residual support program, in cases where the estimate was incorrect, GM may be obligated to pay us, or we may be obligated to reimburse GM.

Based on the June 30, 2009, outstanding North American operating lease portfolio, the additional maximum amount that could be paid by GM under the residual support programs is approximately $1.2 billion and would be paid only in the unlikely event that the proceeds from the entire portfolio of lease assets were lower than both the contractual residual value and our standard residual rates.

Based on the June 30, 2009, outstanding North American operating lease portfolio, the maximum amount that could be paid under the risk-sharing arrangements is approximately $1.5 billion and would be paid only in the unlikely event that the proceeds from all outstanding lease vehicles were lower than our standard residual rates.

Retail and lease contracts acquired by us that included rate and residual subvention from GM, payable directly or indirectly to GM dealers as a percentage of total new retail and lease contracts acquired, were as follows:

GM also provides payment guarantees on certain commercial assets we have outstanding with certain third-party customers. As of June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008, commercial obligations guaranteed by GM were $86 million and $88 million, respectively. Additionally, GM is bound by repurchase obligations to repurchase new vehicle inventory under certain circumstances, such as dealer default. We also have a consignment arrangement with GM for commercial inventories in Europe. As of June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008, wholesale inventories related to this arrangement were $88 million and $141 million, respectively, and are reflected in other assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

 

15. Fair Value

Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157)

SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157) provides a definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. The standard applies when GAAP requires or allows assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value; therefore, it does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstance.

SFAS 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. SFAS 157 clarifies that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices available in active markets (i.e., observable inputs) and the lowest priority to data lacking transparency (i.e., unobservable inputs). Additionally, SFAS 157 requires an entity to consider all aspects of nonperformance risk, including the entity’s own credit standing, when measuring the fair value of a liability.

SFAS 157 establishes a three-level hierarchy to be used when measuring and disclosing fair value. An instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of significant input to its valuation. The following is a description of the three hierarchy levels:

 

Level 1

   Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the measurement date. Additionally, the entity must have the ability to access the active market, and the quoted prices cannot be adjusted by the entity.

Level 2

   Inputs are other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in inactive markets for identical or similar assets or liabilities; or inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3

   Unobservable inputs are supported by little or no market activity. The unobservable inputs represent management’s best assumptions of how market participants would price the assets or liabilities. Generally, Level 3 assets and liabilities are valued using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques that require significant judgment or estimation.

Following are descriptions of the valuation methodologies used to measure material assets and liabilities at fair value and details of the valuation models, key inputs to those models, and significant assumptions utilized.

 

   

Trading securities — Trading securities are recorded at fair value and may be asset-backed or asset-related asset-backed securities (including senior and subordinated interests), principal-only, or residual interests and may be investment grade, noninvestment grade, or unrated securities. We base our valuation of trading securities on observable market prices when available; however, observable market prices are not available for a significant portion of these assets due to illiquidity in the markets. When observable market prices are not available, valuations are primarily based on internally developed discounted cash flow models that use a market-based discount rate. The valuation considers recent market transactions, experience with similar securities, current business conditions, and analysis of the underlying collateral, as available. To estimate cash flows, we utilize various significant assumptions including market observable inputs (e.g., forward interest rates) and internally developed inputs (e.g., prepayment

speeds, delinquency levels, and credit losses). We classified 94% and 60% of the trading securities reported at fair value as Level 3 at June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008, respectively. Trading securities account for 3% and 5% of all assets reported at fair value at June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008, respectively.

 

   

Available-for-sale securities — Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value primarily based on observable market prices. If observable market prices are not available, our valuations are based on internally developed discounted cash flow models that use a market-based discount rate and consider recent market transactions, experience with similar securities, current business conditions, and analysis of the underlying collateral, as available. To estimate cash flows, we are required to utilize various significant assumptions including market observable inputs (e.g., forward interest rates) and internally developed inputs (including prepayment speeds, delinquency levels, and credit losses). We classified 5% and 10% of the available-for-sale securities reported at fair value as Level 3 at June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008, respectively. Available-for-sale securities account for 39% and 24% of all assets reported at fair value at June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008, respectively.

 

   

Loans held-for-sale — The loans held-for-sale portfolio is accounted for at the lower of cost or fair value. The tables associated with nonrecurring fair value measurement include only loans carried at fair value. We classified 65% and 63% of the loans held-for-sale reported at fair value as Level 3 at June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008, respectively. Loans held-for-sale account for 3% and 9% of all assets reported at fair value at June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008, respectively.

Approximately 28% and 6% of the total loans held-for-sale carried at fair value are automotive loans at June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008, respectively. We based our valuation of automotive loans held-for-sale on internally developed discounted cash flow models or terms established under fixed-pricing forward flow agreements and have classified all these loans as Level 3. These valuation models estimate the exit price we expect to receive in the loan’s principal market, which depending upon characteristics of the loans may be the whole-loan market, the securitization market, or committed prices contained in forward sale agreements. Although we utilize and give priority to market observable inputs, such as interest rates and market spreads within these models, we are typically required to utilize internal inputs, such as prepayment speeds, credit losses, and discount rates. While numerous controls exist to calibrate, corroborate, and validate these internal inputs, these internal inputs require the use of judgment and can have a significant impact on the determination of the loan’s value. Accordingly, we classified all automotive loans held-for-sale as Level 3.

Approximately 72% and 94% of the total loans held-for-sale carried at fair value are mortgage loans at June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008, respectively. We originate or purchase mortgage loans in the United States that we intend to sell to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae (collectively, the Agencies). Additionally, we originate or purchase mortgage loans both domestically and internationally that we intend to sell into the secondary markets through whole-loan sales or securitizations, although this activity was substantially curtailed beginning in 2008.

Mortgage loans held-for-sale are typically pooled together and sold into certain exit markets depending upon underlying attributes of the loan, such as agency eligibility (domestic only), product type, interest rate, and credit quality. Two valuation methodologies are used to determine the fair value of loans held-for-sale. The methodology used depends on the exit market as described below.

Loans valued using observable market prices for identical or similar assets — This includes all domestic loans that can be sold to the Agencies, which are valued predominantly by published forward agency prices. This will also include all nonagency domestic loans or international loans where recently negotiated market prices for the loan pool exist with a counterparty (which approximates fair value) or quoted market prices for similar loans are available. As these valuations are derived from quoted market prices, we classify these valuations as Level 2 in the fair value disclosures. As of June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008, 41% of the mortgage loans held-for-sale currently being carried at fair value were classified as Level 2. Due to the current illiquidity of the mortgage market, it may be necessary to look for alternate sources of value, including the whole-loan purchase market for similar loans and place more reliance on the valuations using internal models.

Loans valued using internal models — To the extent observable market prices are not available, we will determine the fair value of loans held-for-sale using internally developed valuation models. These valuation models estimate the exit price we expect to receive in the loan’s principal market, which depending upon characteristics of the loan may be the whole-loan or securitization market. Although we utilize and give priority to market observable inputs such as interest rates and market spreads within these models, we are typically required to utilize internal inputs, such as prepayment speeds, credit losses, and discount rates. While numerous controls exist to calibrate, corroborate, and validate these internal inputs, the generation of these internal inputs requires the use of judgment and can have a significant impact on the determination of the loan’s fair value. Accordingly, we classify these valuations as Level 3 in the fair value disclosures. As of June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008, 59% of the mortgage loans held-for-sale currently being carried at fair value are classified as Level 3.

Due to limited sales activity and periodically unobservable prices in certain markets, certain loans held-for-sale may transfer between Level 2 and Level 3 in future periods.

 

   

Consumer finance receivables and loans, net of unearned income — Under SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS 159), we elected the fair value option for certain mortgage loans held-for-investment. The elected loans collateralized on-balance sheet securitization debt in which we estimated credit reserves pertaining to securitized assets that could have, or already had, exceeded our economic exposure. The elected loans represent a portion of the consumer finance receivable and loans on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The balance that was not elected under SFAS 159 was reported on the balance sheet at the principal amount outstanding, net of charge-offs, allowance for loan losses, and net deferred loan fees.

The mortgage loans held-for-investment that collateralized securitization debt are legally isolated from us and are beyond the reach of our creditors. The loans are measured at fair value using a portfolio approach or an in-use premise. The objective in fair valuing the loans and related securitization debt is to account properly for our retained economic interest in the securitizations. As a result of reduced liquidity in capital markets, values of both these loans and the securitized bonds are expected to be volatile. Since this approach involves the use of significant unobservable inputs, we classified all the mortgage loans held-for-investment elected under SFAS 159 as Level 3. As of June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008, we classified all consumer finance receivables and loans reported at fair value as Level 3. Consumer finance receivables and loans accounted for 7% of all assets reported at fair value at June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008. Refer to the section within this Note titled Fair Value Option of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS 159) for additional information.

 

   

Commercial finance receivables and loans, net of unearned income — We evaluate our commercial finance receivables and loans, net of unearned income for impairment, in accordance with SFAS No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan. We generally base the evaluation on the fair value of the underlying collateral supporting the loan when expected to be the sole source of repayment. When the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the collateral, an impairment loss is recognized and reflected as a nonrecurring fair value measurement. As of June 30, 2009, 13% and 87% of the impaired commercial finance receivables and loans were classified as Level 2 and Level 3, respectively. As of December 31, 2008, 27% and 73% of the impaired commercial finance receivables and loans were classified as Level 2 and Level 3, respectively. Commercial finance receivables and loans accounted for 13% and 8% of all assets reported at fair value at June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008, respectively.

 

   

Mortgage servicing rights — We typically retain MSRs when we sell assets into the secondary market. MSRs do not trade in an active market with observable prices; therefore, we use internally developed discounted cash flow models to estimate the fair value of MSRs. These internal valuation models estimate net cash flows based on internal operating assumptions that we believe would be used by market participants combined with market-based assumptions for loan prepayment rates, interest rates, and discount rates that we believe approximate yields required by investors in this asset. Cash flows primarily include servicing fees, float income, and late fees, in each case less operating costs to service the loans. The estimated cash flows are discounted using an option-adjusted spread-derived discount rate. All MSRs were classified as Level 3 at June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008. MSRs accounted for 15% and 10% of all assets reported at fair value at June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008, respectively.

Interests retained in securitization trusts — Interests retained in securitization trusts are carried at fair value. Valuations are based on internally developed discounted cash flow models that use a market-based discount rate. The valuation considers recent market transactions, experience with similar assets, current business conditions, and analysis of the underlying collateral, as available. To estimate cash flows, we utilize various significant assumptions including market observable inputs (e.g., forward interest rates) and internally developed inputs (e.g., prepayment speeds, delinquency levels, and credit losses). We classified 100% of interests retained in securitization trusts as Level 3 at June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008. Interests retained in securitization trusts accounted for 3% of all assets reported at fair value at June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008.

 

   

Derivative instruments — We manage risk through our balance of loan production and servicing businesses while using portfolios of financial instruments, including derivatives, to manage risk related specifically to the value of loans held-for-sale, loans held-for-investment, MSRs, foreign currency debt; and we enter into interest rate swaps to facilitate transactions where the underlying receivables are sold to a nonconsolidated QSPE. During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, we recorded net economic hedge losses of $913 million and $1.4 billion, respectively. During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008, we recorded net economic hedge losses of $946 million and gains of $315 million, respectively. Refer to Note 12 for additional information regarding changes in the fair value of economic hedges.

We enter into a variety of derivative financial instruments as part of our hedging strategies. Certain of these derivatives are exchange traded, such as Eurodollar futures, or traded within highly active dealer markets, such as agency to-be-announced securities. To determine the fair value of these instruments, we utilize the exchange price or dealer market price for the particular derivative contract; therefore, we classified these contracts as Level 1. We classified 7% of the derivative assets and 9% of the derivative liabilities reported at fair value as Level 1 at June 30, 2009. We classified less than 1% of the derivative assets and 3% of the derivative liabilities reported at fair value as Level 1 at December 31, 2008.

We also execute over-the-counter derivative contracts, such as interest rate swaps, floors, caps, corridors, and swaptions. We utilize third-party-developed valuation models that are widely accepted in the market to value these over-the-counter derivative contracts. The specific terms of the contract and market observable inputs (such as interest rate forward curves and interpolated volatility assumptions) are entered into the model. We classified these over-the-counter derivative contracts as Level 2 at June 30, 2009, because all significant inputs into these markets were market observable. We classified 70% of the derivative assets and 67% of the derivative liabilities reported at fair value as Level 2 at June 30, 2009. We classified 69% of the derivative assets and 44% of the derivative liabilities reported at fair value as Level 2 at December 31, 2008.

We also hold certain derivative contracts that are structured specifically to meet a particular hedging objective. These derivative contracts often are utilized to hedge risks inherent within certain on-balance sheet securitizations. To hedge risks on particular bond classes or securitization collateral, the derivative’s notional amount is often indexed to the hedged item. As a result, we typically are required to use internally developed prepayment assumptions as an input into the model to forecast future notional amounts on these structured derivative contracts. Accordingly, we classified these derivative contracts as Level 3. We classified 23% of the derivative assets and 24% of the derivative liabilities reported at fair value as Level 3 at June 30, 2009. We classified 31% of the derivative assets and 53% of the derivative liabilities reported at fair value as Level 3 at December 31, 2008.

SFAS 157 requires an entity to consider all aspects of nonperformance risk, including the entity’s own credit standing, when measuring fair value of a liability. We consider our credit risk and the credit risk of our counterparties in the valuation of derivative instruments through a credit valuation adjustment (CVA). The CVA calculation utilizes our credit default swap spreads and the spreads of the counterparty. The CVA calculates the probable or potential future exposure on the derivative under different interest and currency exchange rate environments using a simulation tool. For each simulation, a CVA is calculated using either our credit default spread, or the default spread of the counterparty, and the potential exposure of the simulation.

Derivative assets accounted for 13% and 17% of all assets reported at fair value at June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008, respectively. Derivative liabilities accounted for 53% and 58% of all liabilities reported at fair value at June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008, respectively.

 

   

Securities posted as collateral — Securities posted as collateral are carried at fair value using quoted prices in active markets for similar assets. We classified 100% of securities posted as collateral as Level 1 at June 30, 2009. Securities posted as collateral accounted for 2% of all assets reported at fair value at June 30, 2009.

 

   

Repossessed and foreclosed assets — Foreclosed upon or repossessed assets resulting from loan defaults are carried at the lower of either cost or fair value less costs to sell and are included in other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The fair value disclosures include only assets carried at fair value less costs to sell.

The majority of assets acquired due to default are foreclosed assets. We revalue foreclosed assets on a periodic basis. We classified properties that are valued by independent third-party appraisals less costs to sell as Level 2. When third-party appraisals are not obtained, valuations are typically obtained from third-party broker price opinion; however, depending on the circumstances, the property list price or other sales price information may be used in lieu of a broker price opinion. Based on historical experience, we adjust these values downward to take into account damage and other factors that typically cause the actual liquidation value of foreclosed properties to be less than broker price opinion or other price sources. This valuation adjustment is necessary to ensure the valuation ascribed to these assets considers unique factors and circumstances surrounding the foreclosed asset. As a result of applying internally developed adjustments to the third-party-provided valuation of the foreclosed property, we classified these assets as Level 3 in the fair value disclosures. As of June 30, 2009, we classified 63% and 37% of foreclosed and repossessed properties carried at fair value less costs to sell as Level 2 and Level 3, respectively. As of December 31, 2008, we classified 38% and 62% of foreclosed and repossessed properties carried at fair value less costs to sell as Level 2 and Level 3, respectively. Repossessed and foreclosed assets account for 1% and 2% of all assets reported at fair value at June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008, respectively.

 

   

On-balance sheet securitization debt — Under SFAS 159, we elected the fair value option for certain mortgage loans held-for-investment and on-balance sheet securitization debt. In particular, we elected the fair value option on securitization debt issued by domestic on-balance sheet securitization vehicles as of January 1, 2008, in which we estimated credit reserves pertaining to securitized assets could have, or already had, exceeded our economic exposure. The objective in measuring the loans and related securitization debt at fair value was to approximate our retained economic interest and economic exposure to the collateral securing the securitization debt. The remaining on-balance sheet securitization debt that was not elected under SFAS 159 is reported on the balance sheet at cost, net of premiums or discounts and issuance costs.

We value securitization debt that was elected pursuant to the fair value option and any economically retained positions using market observables prices whenever possible. The securitization debt is principally in the form of asset- and mortgage-backed securities collateralized by the underlying mortgage loans held-for-investment. Due to the attributes of the underlying collateral and current market conditions, observable prices for these instruments are typically not available in active markets. In these situations, we consider observed transactions as Level 2 inputs in our discounted cash flow models. Additionally, the discounted cash flow models utilize other market observable inputs, such as interest rates, and internally derived inputs including prepayment speeds, credit losses, and discount rates. Fair value option elected financing securitization debt is classified as Level 3 as a result of the reliance on significant assumptions and estimates for model inputs. On-balance sheet securitization debt accounts for 42% of all liabilities reported at fair value at June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008. As a result of reduced liquidity in capital markets, values of both the elected loans and the securitized debt are expected to be volatile. Refer to the section within this Note Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS 159) for a complete description of these securitizations.

Nonrecurring Fair Value

We may be required to measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value from time to time. These periodic fair value measures typically result from the application of lower of cost or fair value accounting or certain impairment measures under GAAP. These items would constitute nonrecurring fair value measures under SFAS 157.

The following tables display the assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and held at June 30, 2009.

Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS 159)

Our Mortgage operations elected to measure at fair value certain mortgage loans held-for-investment. Our intent in electing fair value for these items was to mitigate a divergence between accounting losses and economic exposure for certain assets and liabilities.

A description of the financial assets and liabilities elected to be measured at fair value under SFAS 159 follows.

 

   

On-balance sheet securitizations  In prior years, our Mortgage operations executed certain domestic securitizations that did not meet sale criteria under SFAS 140. As part of these domestic on-balance sheet securitizations, we typically retained the economic residual interest in the securitization. The economic residual entitles us to excess cash flows that remain at each distribution date after absorbing any credit losses in the securitization. Because sale treatment was not achieved under SFAS 140, the mortgage loan collateral remained on the balance sheet and was classified as consumer finance receivable and loans; the securitization’s debt was classified as secured debt; and the economic residuals were not carried on the balance sheet. After execution of the securitizations, we were required under GAAP to continue recording an allowance for loan losses on these held-for-investment loans.

As a result of market conditions and deteriorating credit performance of domestic residential mortgages, our economic exposure on certain of these domestic on-balance sheet securitizations was reduced to zero or approximating zero, thus indicating we expected minimal to no future cash flows to be received on the economic residual. While we no longer were economically exposed to credit losses in the securitizations, we were required to continue recording additional allowance for loan losses on the securitization collateral as credit performance deteriorated. Further, in accordance with GAAP, we did not record any offsetting reduction in the securitization’s debt balances, even though any nonperformance of the assets would ultimately pass through as a reduction of the amount owed to the debt holders once they are contractually extinguished. As a result, we were required to record accounting losses beyond our economic exposure.

To mitigate the divergence between accounting losses and economic exposure, we elected the fair value option for a portion of the domestic on-balance sheet securitizations. In particular, we elected the fair value option for domestic on-balance sheet securitization vehicles in which we estimated that the credit reserves pertaining to securitized assets could, or already had, exceeded our economic exposure. The fair value option election was made at a securitization level; thus the election was made for both the mortgage loans held-for-investment and the related portion of on-balance sheet securitized debt for these particular securitizations.

We carry the fair value-elected loans as consumer finance receivable and loans, net of unearned income, on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Our policy is to separately record interest income on the fair value-elected loans unless the loans are placed on nonaccrual status when they are 60 days past due; these amounts continue be classified as consumer financing revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. We classified the fair value adjustment recorded for the loans as other income, net of losses, in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income.

We continued to record the fair value-elected debt balances as secured debt on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Our policy is to separately record interest expense on the fair value-elected securitization debt, which continues to be classified as interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. We classified the fair value adjustment recorded for this fair value-elected debt as other income, net of losses, in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

The following tables summarize the fair value option elections and information regarding the amounts recorded as earnings for each fair value option-elected item.

(c) The credit impact for on-balance sheet securitization debt is assumed to be zero until our economic interests in a particular securitization is reduced to zero, at which point the losses on the underlying collateral will be expected to be passed through to third-party bondholders. Losses allocated to third-party bondholders, including changes in the amount of losses allocated, will result in fair value changes due to credit. We also monitor credit ratings and will make credit adjustments to the extent any bond classes are downgraded by rating agencies.

Interest income on mortgage loans held-for-investment is measured by multiplying the unpaid principal balance on the loans by the coupon rate and the day’s interest due. Interest expense on the on-balance sheet securitizations is measured by multiplying bond principal by the coupon rate and day’s interest due to the investor.

The following table provides the aggregate fair value and the aggregate unpaid principal balance for the fair value option-elected loans and long-term debt instruments.

(a) The fair value of loans held-for-sale is calculated on a pooled basis, which does not allow us to reliably estimate the fair value of loans 90+ days past due or nonaccrual loans. As a result, the fair value of these loans is not included in the table above. Unpaid principal balances were provided to allow assessment of the materiality of loans 90+ days past due and nonaccrual loans relative to total loans. For further discussion regarding the pooled basis, refer to the previous section of this Note titled, Consumer finance receivables, net of unearned income.
(b) Loans 90+ days past due are also presented within the nonaccrual loan balance and the total loan balance.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments (SFAS 107)

The following table presents the carrying and estimated fair value of assets and liabilities considered financial instruments under Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (SFAS 107). Accordingly, items that do not meet the definition of a financial instruments are excluded from the table. When possible, we use quoted market prices to determine fair value. Where quoted market prices are not available, the fair value is internally derived based upon appropriate valuation methodologies with respect to the amount and timing of future cash flows and estimated discount rates. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to

develop estimates of fair value, so the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized or would be paid in a current market exchange. The effect of using different market assumptions or estimation methodologies could be material to the estimated fair values. Fair value information presented herein is based on information available at June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the estimated fair value amounts, such amounts have not been updated since those dates; therefore, the current estimates of fair value at dates after June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008, could differ significantly from these amounts.

The following describes the methodologies and assumptions used to determine fair value for the respective classes of financial instruments.

 

   

Investment securities — Bonds, equity securities, notes, and other available-for-sale investment securities are carried at fair value. Refer to the previous sections of this note titled Trading securities and Available-for-sale securities for a description of the methodologies and assumptions used to determine fair value. Held-to-maturity investment securities are carried at amortized cost. The fair value of the held-to-maturity investment securities is based on valuation models using market-based assumptions.

 

   

Loans held-for-sale — Refer to the previous section of this note also titled Loans held-for-sale for a description of methodologies and assumptions used to determine fair value.

 

   

Finance receivables and loans, net — The fair value of finance receivables was based on discounted future cash flows using applicable spreads to approximate current rates applicable to each category of finance receivables (an income approach as defined by SFAS 157). The carrying value of wholesale receivables and certain other automotive and mortgage lending receivables for which interest rates reset on a short-term basis with applicable market indices are assumed to approximate fair value either because of the short-term nature or because of the interest rate adjustment feature. The fair value of mortgage loans held-for-investment was based on discounted cash flows, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers with similar credit quality (an income approach as defined by SFAS 157); the net realizable value of collateral (a market approach); and/or the estimated sales price based on quoted market prices where available or actual prices received on comparable sales of mortgage loans to investors (a market approach). In addition to the previously mentioned valuation methods, we also followed FSP FAS No. 157-3, Determining Fair Value of a Financial Asset in a Market that is Not Active. As such, we assumed the price that would be received in an orderly transaction and not forced liquidation or distressed sale.

With the exception of mortgage loans held-for-investment, the fair value of finance receivables was based on discounted future cash flows using applicable spreads to approximate current rates applicable to each category of finance receivables (an income approach as defined by SFAS 157). The carrying value of wholesale receivables and

certain other automotive and mortgage-lending receivables for which interest rates reset on a short-term basis with applicable market indices are assumed to approximate fair value either because of the short-term nature or because of the interest rate adjustment feature.

For mortgage loans held-for-investment used as collateral for securitization debt, we used a portfolio approach or an in-use premise to measure these loans at fair value. The objective in fair valuing these loans (which are legally isolated and beyond the reach of our creditors) and the related collateralized borrowings is to reflect our retained economic position in the securitizations. For mortgage loans held-for-investment that are not securitized we used valuation models and assumptions similar to those used for mortgage loans held-for-sale. These valuations consider unique attributes of the loans such as geography, delinquency status, product type, and other factors. Refer to the previous section in this note titled Loans held-for-sale for a description of methodologies and assumptions used to determine fair value of mortgage loans held-for-sale.

In addition to the previously mentioned valuation methods, we also followed FSP FAS No. 157-4, Determining Whether a Market is Not Active and a Transaction is Not Distressed. As such, we assumed the price that would be received in an orderly transaction (including a market-based return) and not forced liquidation or distressed sale.

 

   

Notes receivable from GM — The fair value is estimated in the same manner as wholesale receivables. Refer to the section above titled Finance receivables and loans, net for additional information.

 

   

Derivative assets and liabilities — Refer to the previous section of this note titled Derivative instruments for a description of the methodologies and assumptions used to determine fair value.

 

   

Debt — The fair value of debt was determined using quoted market prices for the same or similar issues, if available, or was based on the current rates offered to us for debt with similar remaining maturities.

 

   

Deposit liabilities  Deposit liabilities represent certain consumer bank deposits as well as mortgage escrow deposits. The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity is equal to their carrying amount. The fair value of fixed-maturity deposits was estimated by discounting cash flows using currently offered rates for deposits of similar maturities.

 

16. Variable Interest Entities

The following describes the VIEs that we have consolidated or in which we have a significant variable interest as described in FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46(R)). We have certain secured funding arrangements that are structured through consolidating entities, as described in further detail in Note 9.

 

   

On-balance sheet securitization trusts — We have certain securitization transactions that are not QSPEs and are VIEs within the scope of FIN 46(R). We typically hold the first loss position in these securitization transactions and, as a result, anticipate absorbing the majority of the expected losses of the VIE. Accordingly, we are the primary beneficiary; thus, we have consolidated these securitization trusts entities. The assets of the consolidated securitization trusts totaled $41.7 billion and $49.9 billion at June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008, respectively. The majority of the assets are included as finance receivables and loans, net of unearned interest, on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The liabilities of these securitization trust entities totaled $32.7 billion and $39.0 billion at June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008, respectively. The majority of these liabilities were included as secured debt on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The nature of, purpose of, activities of, and our continuing involvement with the consolidated securitization trusts are virtually identical to those of our off-balance sheet securitization trusts, which are discussed in Note 6. The assets of the securitization trusts generally are the sole source of repayment on the securitization trusts’ liabilities. The creditors of the securitization trusts do not have recourse to our general credit with the exception of the customary representation and warranty repurchase provisions and, in certain transactions, early payment default provisions as discussed in Note 26 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

During 2009, we executed an amendment to a wholesale automotive securitization transaction that was classified as a QSPE under SFAS 140 and, therefore, was unconsolidated. The amendment contractually required us to deposit additional cash into a collateral account held by the trust. Management determined the amendment caused the trust to no longer be classified as a QSPE. As a result, the trust became a consolidated entity in accordance with FIN 46(R).

 

   

Mortgage warehouse funding — Our Mortgage operations transfer international residential mortgage loans into SPEs to obtain funding. The facilities have advance rates less than 100% of the pledged asset values, and in certain cases, we have provided a subordinated loan to the facility to serve as additional collateral. For certain facilities, there is an unconditional guarantee by our Mortgage operations of the entity’s repayment on the related debt to the facility that provides the facility provider with recourse to our general credit. Our Mortgage operations continue to service the assets within the mortgage warehouse facilities.

The over-collateralization and the subordinated loan support the liability balance and are the primary source of repayment of the entities’ liabilities. Assets can be sold from the facilities so long as we support the minimum cash reserve under the borrowing base should the eligibility/concentration limit of the remaining assets require it. We are entitled to excess cash flows generated from the assets beyond those necessary to pay the facility during a particular period; therefore, we hold an economic residual. There are no other forms of support that we provide to the SPE beyond the assets (over-collateralization and subordinated loan) initially provided and the guarantee provided by our Mortgage operations of the entities’ performance.

These entities are VIEs within the scope of FIN 46(R). Due to the subordinated loan and the guarantee, our Mortgage operations anticipate absorbing the majority of the expected losses of the VIE. Accordingly, our Mortgage operations are the primary beneficiary and thus have consolidated these entities.

The assets of these residential mortgage warehouse entities totaled $928 million, and liabilities totaled $1.1 billion at June 30, 2009. At December 31, 2008, the assets of these residential mortgage warehouse entities totaled $1.4 billion, and liabilities totaled $1.5 billion. The majority of the assets and liabilities are included in loans held-for-sale or finance receivables and loans, net of unearned income and secured debt, respectively, on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The creditors of these VIEs do not have legal recourse to our general credit.

 

   

Construction and real estate lending — Our Mortgage operations use SPEs to finance construction-lending receivables and other real estate-owned assets. The SPEs purchase and hold the assets through financing obtained from third-party asset-backed commercial paper conduits. All forward commitments to fund receivable obligations previously eligible for financing under this facility were funded by an alternative source creating additional over-collateralization.

Our Mortgage operations are the primary beneficiary since they absorb the majority of the losses and, as such, consolidate the entities in accordance with FIN 46(R). The assets in these entities totaled $669 million and $1.2 billion at June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008, respectively, which were included in finance receivables and loans, net of unearned income, on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The liabilities in these entities totaled $319 million and $557 million at June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008, respectively. The beneficial interest holders of these VIEs do not have legal recourse to our general credit. We do not have a contractual obligation to provide any type of financial support in the future, nor have we provided noncontractual financial support or any type of support to the entity during the three months ended June 30, 2009. All forward commitments to fund receivable obligations previously eligible for financing under this facility were funded by an alternative source creating additional over-collateralization.

We invest in certain entities and as such enter into subordinated real estate-lending arrangements. These entities are created to develop land and construct properties. Management has determined we do not have the majority of the expected losses or returns, and consolidation is not appropriate under FIN 46(R). Total assets in these entities were $40 million at June 30, 2009, of which $41 million represents our maximum exposure. Total

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

 

assets in these entities were $65 million at December 31, 2008, of which $43 million represents our maximum exposure. We do not have a contractual obligation to provide any type of financial support in the future, nor have we provided noncontractual financial support or any type of support to the entity during the three months ended June 30, 2009.

 

   

Model home financings — In June 2008, Cerberus purchased certain assets of our Mortgage operations with a carrying value of approximately $480 million for consideration consisting of $230 million in cash and Series B junior preferred membership interests in the newly formed entity, CMH, which is not a subsidiary of our Mortgage operations and the managing member of which is an affiliate of Cerberus. CMH purchased model home and lot option assets from our Mortgage operations.

In conjunction with this agreement, Cerberus entered into a term loan and a revolving loan with CMH. The term loan principal amount was $230 million, and the revolving loan maximum amount was $10 million. Both loans had a five-year term and a 15% interest rate. The term loan and related interest are paid from the dispositions of the model homes and lot options.

The term loan and interest due are repaid out of the dispositions of the models after CMH has repaid the loan and paid the accrued interest. Cash is distributed in the following order: (1) to the Class A senior preferred member all unreturned preferred capital, including a preferred return equal to 20% of total cash outlay less the aggregate amount of interest payments made; (2) to the Class B junior preferred member all unreturned preferred capital, including a preferred return equal to 20% of the initial Class B capital account; (3) to the Class B member until all reimbursable costs have been returned; and (4) to the common unit member (Cerberus). Based on the market conditions and market valuation adjustments, there is a risk that ResCap will not receive all of its Tier 2 payments.

As of June 30, 2009, Cerberus was repaid in full under the term loan and was paid their preferred return on Class A Senior Preferred Capital.

We consolidate CMH in accordance with FIN 46(R) as we hold all the remaining interests in CMH and are, therefore, the primary beneficiary. The assets of CMH were $106 million and $186 million as of June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008, respectively, and were included in other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The liabilities of CMH were $1 million and $47 million as of June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008, respectively, which were classified as debt and accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The beneficial interest holders of this VIE do not have legal recourse to our general credit. We do not have a contractual obligation to provide any type of financial support in the future, nor have we provided noncontractual financial support or any type of support to the entity during the three months ended June 30, 2009.

We continue to service, account for, market, and sell the assets without a servicing fee. However, we do receive reimbursement of expenses directly related to the assets such as property taxes and other direct out-of-pocket expenses. This VIE does not conduct new business; therefore, no new assets were transferred into CMH.

 

   

Servicing funding — To assist in the financing of our servicing advance receivables, our Mortgage operations formed an SPE that issues term notes to third-party investors that are collateralized by servicing advance receivables. These servicing advance receivables are transferred to the SPE and consist of delinquent principal and interest advances made by our Mortgage operations, as servicer, to various investors; property taxes and insurance premiums advanced to taxing authorities and insurance companies on behalf of borrowers; and amounts advanced for mortgages in foreclosure. The SPE funds the purchase of the receivables through financing obtained from the third-party investors and subordinated loans or an equity contribution from our Mortgage operations. Management has determined that we are the primary beneficiary of the SPE and, as such, consolidate the entity in accordance with FIN 46(R). The assets of this entity totaled $1.1 billion and $1.2 billion as of June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008, respectively, which are included in other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The liabilities of this entity totaled $1.2 billion at June 30, 2009, consisting of $700 million in third-party term notes that are included within debt on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, and $486 million in affiliate payables to ResCap, which

are eliminated in consolidation. The liabilities of this entity totaled $1.2 billion at December 31, 2008, consisting of $700 million in third-party term notes that are included within debt on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and $507 million in affiliate payables to ResCap that are eliminated in consolidation. The beneficial interest holder of this VIE does not have legal recourse to our general credit. We do not have a contractual obligation to provide any type of financial support in the future, nor have we provided noncontractual financial support to the entity during the three months ended June 30, 2009.

 

   

Commercial Finance receivables  We have a facility in which we transfer commercial-lending receivables to a 100% owned SPE that, in turn, issues notes received to third-party financial institutions, our Commercial Group, and asset-backed commercial paper conduits. The SPE funds the purchase of receivables from us with cash obtained from the sale of notes. Management has determined that we are the primary beneficiary of the SPE and, as such, consolidates the entity. The assets and liabilities of the SPE totaled $1.8 billion and $586 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2009, and are included in finance receivables and loans, net of unearned income, on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The assets and liabilities of the SPE totaled $2.2 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively, as of December 31, 2008. The beneficial interest holders of this variable interest entity do not have legal recourse to our general credit.

In other securitization transactions, we transfer asset-backed lending receivables and commercial trade receivables into bank-sponsored multiseller commercial paper conduits. These conduits provide a funding source to us (and to other transferors into the conduit) as they fund the purchase of the receivables through the issuance of commercial paper. Total assets and liabilities outstanding in these bank-sponsored conduits approximated $950 million and $287 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2009. Total assets and liabilities outstanding in these bank-sponsored conduits approximated $2.1 billion and $781 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2008. Although we have a variable interest in these conduits, we may prepay all or any portion of the loans at our discretion at any time.

 

   

Preferred Blocker Inc.  In connection with the fourth quarter 2008 private debt exchange, we transferred GMAC Preferred Membership Interests to Preferred Blocker Inc. (Blocker), a newly formed taxable C-corporation. As a result of GMAC’s June 30, 2009, conversion from a limited liability company into a corporation, these membership interests have converted into preferred stock of GMAC (the Blocker Preferred). Blocker was established for the sole purpose of investing in the Blocker Preferred and financing them through the issuance of Blocker Preferred Stock to third-party investors in connection with the December 2008 private debt exchange. Blocker will generally not engage in any business activities, hold any assets, or incur any liabilities other than in connection with the issuance and maintenance of preferred stock. In connection to the arrangement, we hold 5,000,000 shares of Blocker Common Stock with a par value of $0.01. Additionally, we are bound by a Keep-Well Agreement with Blocker in which we are required to make payment to Blocker in the event that Blocker’s expenses, primarily its income tax expense, are greater than the dividend spread between the Blocker Preferred (11.86% dividend rate per annum) and the Blocker Preferred Stock (7% dividend rate per annum). Refer to Note 26 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding the Keep-Well Agreement. Due to the spread in rates, Blocker’s tax rate would have to exceed 41.0% before we would be required to make payment under the Keep-Well Agreement. Since this rate is in excess of common corporate taxable rates, the potential for loss under this agreement is considered remote, unless corporate tax rates increase. Although we hold these variable interests in Blocker, we are not considered to be the primary beneficiary as we do not retain the majority of the expected losses or returns. Blocker is a wholly owned nonconsolidated subsidiary of GMAC.

18. Subsequent Events

We evaluated subsequent events through August 7, 2009, (the date the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were filed with the SEC).

Declaration of Quarterly Dividend Payments

On July 13, 2009, our Board of Directors declared quarterly dividend payments on each of our Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series D-1 (Series D-1 Preferred); Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series D-2 (Series D-2 Preferred); Fixed Rate Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series E (Series E Preferred); and Fixed Rate Cumulative Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Stock, Series F (Series F Preferred). Dividend payments declared on the senior preferred stock issued to the U.S. Department of the Treasury under the Troubled Asset Relief Program totaled $271 million. This consisted of a cash dividend of $20 per share, or a total of $100 million, on the Series D-1 Preferred; a cash dividend of $22.50 per share, or a total of $6 million, on the Series D-2 Preferred; and a cash dividend of $1.05 per share, or a total of $165 million, on the Series F Preferred. The dividend payment declared to Preferred Blocker Inc. (Preferred Blocker), a wholly owned nonconsolidated subsidiary of GMAC, on the Series E Preferred was $30.31 per share, or a total of $78 million. Preferred Blocker was established in connection with the settlement of our private exchange and cash tender offers, which were completed in December 2008.

Overview

GMAC is a leading, independent, globally diversified, financial services firm with approximately $181 billion of assets at June 30, 2009. Founded in 1919 as a wholly owned subsidiary of General Motors Corporation, GMAC was established to provide dealers with the automotive financing necessary to acquire and maintain vehicle inventories and to provide retail customers the means by which to finance vehicle purchases through GM dealers. On November 30, 2006, General Motors Corporation sold a 51% interest in us (the Sale Transactions) to FIM Holdings LLC (FIM Holdings), an investment consortium led by Cerberus FIM Investors, LLC, the sole managing member. On December 24, 2008, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the Board of Governors) approved our application to become a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the BHC Act). In connection with this approval, General Motors Corporation and FIM Holdings were required to significantly reduce their voting equity ownership interests in GMAC. These reductions in ownership occurred in 2009. For further discussion of developments with General Motors Corporation refer to the General Motors Emergence from Bankruptcy Protection section in Note 1 and Note 14 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Our Global Automotive Finance operations offer a wide range of financial services and products (directly and indirectly) to retail automotive consumers, automotive dealerships, and other commercial businesses. Our Global Automotive Finance operations consist of two separate reportable segments — North American Automotive Finance operations and International Automotive Finance operations. The products and services offered by our Global Automotive Finance operations include the purchase of retail installment sales contracts and leases, offering of term loans, financing of dealer floorplans and other lines of credit to dealers, fleet leasing, and vehicle remarketing services. In addition, our Global Automotive Finance operations utilize asset securitization and whole-loan sales to the extent available as a critical component of our diversified funding strategy.

International Automotive Finance operations announced plans to cease retail and wholesale originations in Australia and New Zealand and retail originations in several European markets. We further implemented more conservative pricing policies throughout most remaining international markets to more closely align lending activity with the funding available in the current capital markets. As a result of these actions, automotive financing volume was significantly lower in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same periods in 2008.

On April 30, 2009, we entered into an agreement with Chrysler LLC (Chrysler) to provide automotive financing products and services to Chrysler dealers and customers. We are the preferred provider of new wholesale financing for Chrysler dealer inventory in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, along with other international markets upon the mutual agreement of the parties. The four-year agreement provides for incentivized retail financing with limited exclusivity and certain protections designed to minimize our risk of loss. We have put in place new interim dealer funding and are in the process of conducting credit assessments of each Chrysler dealer.

All decisions to establish credit lines or to provide other products and services with a dealer will be at our sole discretion. We have also agreed to work with Chrysler to develop other dedicated or customized services as the parties may agree from time to time.

 

   

Our Mortgage operations engage in the origination, purchase, servicing, sale, and securitization of consumer (i.e., residential) mortgage loans and mortgage-related products. Mortgage operations include the Residential Capital, LLC (ResCap) legal entity, the mortgage operations of Ally Bank, and the Canadian mortgage operations of ResMor Trust. In response to market conditions, our Mortgage operations have substantially eliminated production of loans that do not conform to the underwriting guidelines of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae. Mortgage operations have further curtailed activities related to both their business capital group (which provides financing and equity capital to residential land developers and homebuilders) and their international business group (which has substantially all its operations outside of the United States) except for insured mortgages in Canada. Certain agreements are in place between ResCap and GMAC that restrict ResCap’s ability to declare dividends or prepay subordinated indebtedness owed to GMAC that may inhibit GMAC’s ability to return funds for dividend and debt payments.

 

   

Our Insurance operations offer vehicle service contracts and underwrite personal automobile insurance coverages (ranging from preferred to nonstandard risks) and selected commercial insurance coverages in the United States, Canada, and internationally. We are a leading provider of vehicle service contracts with mechanical breakdown and maintenance coverages. Our vehicle service contracts offer vehicle owners and lessees mechanical repair protection and roadside assistance for new and used vehicles beyond the manufacturer’s new vehicle warranty. We underwrite and market nonstandard, standard, and preferred-risk physical damage and liability insurance coverages for passenger automobiles, motorcycles, recreational vehicles, and commercial automobiles through independent agency, direct response, and internet channels. We also provide commercial insurance primarily covering dealers’ wholesale vehicle inventory. Additionally, we market private-label insurance through a long-term agency relationship with Homesite Insurance, a national provider of home insurance products.

 

   

Corporate and Other operations consist of our Commercial Finance Group, certain equity investments, corporate activities, and reclassifications and eliminations between the reportable segments.

We reported a net loss of $3.9 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to a net loss of $2.5 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2008, and a net loss of $4.6 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to a net loss of $3.1 billion for the same period in 2008. Results during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, were attributable to continued adverse conditions in the mortgage business and significant declines in new vehicle financing and operating lease originations due to the economic recession and declining GM vehicle sales volume. In addition, results were unfavorably impacted by increased income tax expense of $1.2 billion related to the conversion of GMAC from a limited liability company into a corporation, weak credit performance within our Mortgage operations, and a $607 million impairment on the goodwill of one of our Insurance operations reporting units. These adverse impacts were partially offset by improved margins on asset sales, an improved used vehicle market, reduced valuation adjustments, and lower operating expenses.

Total financing revenue and other interest income decreased by 32% and 31% in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2008, primarily due to lower asset levels at our Global Automotive Finance operations and Mortgage operations as a result of lower asset origination levels. Consumer and operating lease revenue (along with the related depreciation expense) at our Global Automotive Finance operations decreased as a result of declining originations due to the continued credit market dislocation, the overall economic conditions, low consumer confidence, and our strategic decisions in late 2008 to curtail leasing in certain markets. In addition, our International Automotive Finance operations experienced lower commercial asset levels due to operations winding down in several countries and unfavorable foreign currency translation adjustments. Declines in asset levels at our Mortgage

operations resulted from asset sales and continued portfolio runoff. Total financing revenue was also unfavorably impacted at our Mortgage operations due to lower yields as a result of higher delinquencies and an increase in nonaccrual loans.

Interest expense decreased $781 million and $1.8 billion in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2008. Interest expense at our Global Automotive Finance operations decreased $791 million and $1.4 billion for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, primarily as a result of reductions in the average balance of interest bearing liabilities, lower interest rates, favorable net derivative activity on unsecured debt, foreign currency impacts, and a shift in the funding mix to lower yielding instruments. The $408 million and $991 million decreases during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, at our Mortgage operations were primarily due to a lower average cost of funds due to declining interest rates in variable rate facilities and extinguishments of ResCap debt. The decreases in interest expense during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, were offset by $345 million and $589 million increases at our Corporate and Other operations segment primarily due to the amortization of the original issue discount associated with our December 2008 bond exchange and higher facility fees.

No impairment of investment in operating leases was recognized in 2009. During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008, a $716 million impairment on vehicle operating lease assets was recognized by our North American Automotive Finance operations due to a sharp decline in demand and used vehicle sale prices for sport-utility vehicles and trucks in the United States and Canada, which affected our remarketing proceeds for these vehicles.

Net servicing income decreased 43% and 82% in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2008. The decrease in the three-month period was driven by a decline in servicing fees attributable to fewer loans serviced as a result of portfolio runoff and the sale of certain servicing assets during the second half of 2008 and unfavorable hedge performance. The six-month period ended June 30, 2009 experienced favorable mortgage servicing valuations reflected by a marginal increase in market interest rates partially offset by decreased cash flow assumptions and increased prepayment assumptions. However, the hedge performance was less favorable for the first six months of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 primarily due to changes in the spreads between our servicing assets and the derivative instruments used to manage the interest rate risk associated with those assets. Our ability to fully hedge interest rate risk was restricted in the latter half of 2008 and, during the six months ended June 30, 2009, by the limited availability of willing counterparties to enter into forward agreements and liquidity constraints hindering our ability to enter into option derivative positions.

Insurance premiums and service revenue earned decreased $305 million and $550 million in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2008. Insurance premiums and service revenue earned decreased by $125 million and $245 million in the periods due to the sale of our U.S. reinsurance managing general agency in November 2008 and decreased by $42 million and $46 million due to the sale of a personal auto division in April 2009. Additionally, we were adversely affected by decreases in U.S. personal auto policies in force and lower volume in dealership-related products due to a competitive environment and declines in vehicle sales. Our international operations also experienced decreases due to foreign currency movements.

The net loss on mortgage and automotive loans was $362 million and $66 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, compared to a net loss of $1.1 billion and $1.7 billion for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. The improvements in the 2009 periods were primarily due to significant unfavorable valuation adjustments recorded in 2008 on our mortgage loans held-for-sale and commitments, primarily in the United Kingdom and continental Europe, as well as on our mortgage loans held-for-sale in our purchased distressed asset portfolio. Additionally, the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, were negatively impacted by valuation losses in our mortgage loans held-for-sale portfolio, most specifically as a result of our commitment to sell our Spanish platform in July 2009, and realized losses from asset sales in the United Kingdom. The losses in 2009 for both periods were partially offset by more favorable margins in the domestic mortgage market as a result of our focus on originating more government-sponsored mortgage loans.

Gain on extinguishment of debt totaled $14 million and $657 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, compared to $616 million and $1.1 billion for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. The decrease during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, is primarily due to

gains on extinguishment of debt recognized by our Mortgage operations on private debt tender and exchange offerings and open market repurchase transactions completed during 2008, which did not recur in 2009. This was partially offset during the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, by a $634 million gain on the extinguishment of certain GMAC debt as part of privately negotiated transactions.

Other gain on investments was $98 million and $81 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, compared to losses of $49 million and $444 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. The comparative increases were primarily related to significant declines in the fair value of residual interests during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008. The valuation adjustments included declines in the fair value of residual interests as a result of increased credit losses, rating agency downgrades, declines in the value of underlying collateral, market illiquidity, and changes in discount rate assumptions. This favorability was partially offset by impairments on certain equity investments within our Mortgage operations and other-than-temporary impairments of $1 million and $47 million recognized during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, on certain investment securities due to continued unfavorable market conditions.

Other income, net of losses, decreased $45 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, and decreased $242 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same periods in 2008. The six-month period ended June 30, 2009, was adversely impacted by unfavorable net derivative activity, unfavorable foreign currency adjustments, and decreases in full-service leasing fees. Partially offsetting these negative factors was lower impairment charges on the assets of our resort finance business during the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same period in 2008.

The provision for loan losses increased 51% and 61% during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2008. The increases during the periods were due to higher provisions on consumer mortgage loans as a result of increased delinquencies and higher severity assumptions. In 2009, additional specific reserves were recorded against a number of distressed loans within our real-estate lending portfolio as a result of the continued decline in the homebuilding industry. Our Global Automotive Finance operations experienced a decrease of 76% and 45% for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, primarily due to a decrease in the provision for retail balloon contracts as a result of portfolio runoff and a strengthening used vehicle market in the United States.

Insurance losses and loss adjustment expenses totaled $481 million and $1.0 billion for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, compared to $714 million and $1.3 billion for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. The decreases were primarily driven by the sale of our U.S. reinsurance agency and a personal auto division, lower loss experience in our U.S. vehicle service contract and personal insurance businesses as a result of lower volumes and weather related losses, and unfavorable foreign currency movements within our Insurance international operations.

The $607 million impairment of goodwill during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, was the result of a charge taken by our Insurance operations. Refer to the Insurance operations section of MD&A and Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Other operating expenses decreased 27% and 21% for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2008. Expenses decreased in the periods primarily due to decreased compensation and benefits expense of $150 million and $344 million, favorability related to gains on operating lease disposals of $203 million and $273 million, decreased insurance commissions of $56 million and $107 million, reduced professional service costs of $68 million and $71 million, reduced restructuring costs of $46 million and $77 million, and decreased automotive remarketing and repossession expenses of $35 million and $61 million. These favorable impacts were partially offset by higher mortgage representation and warranty expenses of $151 million and $306 million compared to the same periods in 2008.

Our consolidated tax expense was $1.1 billion and $990 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, compared to $173 million and $192 million for the same periods in 2008. The increase in tax expense is primarily due to the conversion of GMAC from a limited liability company into a corporation effective June 30, 2009. As a result of the conversion, we will be subject to corporate U.S. federal, state, and local taxes beginning in the third quarter of 2009. Due to our change in tax status, as of June 30, 2009, a net deferred tax liability of $1.2 billion was established through income tax expense. Refer to Note 13 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our change in tax status.

Our Global Automotive Finance operations experienced net losses of $727 million and $502 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, compared to net losses of $717 million and $459 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. Results were primarily impacted by GMAC’s conversion to a corporation for federal income tax purposes effective June 30, 2009, which increased our Global Automotive Finance operations’ income tax expense by $1.1 billion for both periods. Additionally, we experienced decreases in financing revenue due to significant declines in new vehicle financing and operating lease originations resulting from the economic recession and the dislocation in the capital and credit markets. Partially offsetting the negative factors during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, were decreases in interest expense, a lower provision for loan losses, and favorable remarketing results as a result of the strengthening of the used automobile market.

Total financing revenue and other interest income decreased 28% and 25% for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2008. Operating lease revenue (along with the related depreciation expense) decreased in both periods because new lease originations significantly declined. Lease originations

decreased significantly in comparison with 2008 levels due to the continued credit market dislocation and our strategic decisions in late 2008 to curtail leasing in certain markets and increased pricing due to the significant decline in used vehicle prices. In addition to operating lease revenue, consumer and commercial revenue also decreased during the periods. Consumer revenue (combined with interest income on consumer loans held-for-sale) decreased 27% during both periods primarily due to lower consumer asset levels as a result of decreased originations due to the general economic recession and declining GM vehicle sales volume. Additionally, unfavorable foreign currency translation adjustments negatively affected consumer revenue. The decline in consumer asset levels (including loans held-for-sale) was $12.6 billion, or 25%, as a result of lower industry sales. The $67 million and $122 million of income on consumer loans held-for-sale for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, related to interest on loans that are expected to be sold in whole-loan and securitization transactions over the next twelve months. Commercial revenue decreased 15% and 16%, compared to the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. Our International Automotive Finance operations experienced lower commercial asset levels due to operations winding down in several countries and unfavorable foreign currency movements partially offset by certain locations experiencing higher average yields. Interest and dividend income decreased 56% and 43% for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, primarily due to lower interest rates, less intercompany income resulting from a decrease in the average intercompany receivable balance, and a decrease in the average earning assets balance within our International Automotive Finance operations.

Interest expense decreased 37% and 34% for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2008. The decreases were driven by reductions in the average balance of interest bearing liabilities, lower interest rates, favorable net derivative activity on unsecured debt, favorable foreign currency adjustments, and shifts in the funding mix from higher coupon unsecured debt to more secured funding during the second half of 2008.

During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008, a $716 million impairment on vehicle operating lease assets was recognized by our North American Automotive Finance operations due to a sharp decline in demand and used vehicle sale prices for sport-utility vehicles and trucks in the United States and Canada, which affected our remarketing proceeds for these vehicles. No such impairment was recognized in 2009.

Servicing fees decreased 21% and 18% for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2008. The decreases in servicing fees during both periods related to declines in consumer asset levels and correlate with declines in industry sales.

Net gain on automotive loans was $44 million and $149 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, compared to a net loss of $37 million and a net gain of $111 million for the same periods in 2008. The increases for both periods were primarily the result of unfavorable valuation adjustments taken during 2008 related to the loans held-for-sale portfolio of our North American Automotive Finance operations.

Other gain on investments was $87 million and $113 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, compared to $33 million and a loss of $54 million during the same periods in 2008. The favorable variance during the six months ended June 30, 2009, was primarily related to lower realized losses on investment securities sales as a result of other than temporary impairments taken in the later half of 2008.

Other income was $234 million and $392 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, compared to $296 million and $634 million for the same periods in 2008. Other income for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, decreased due to unfavorable mark-to-market adjustments on derivatives. Additionally, other income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, decreased due to unfavorable foreign currency adjustments and decreases in full-service leasing fees.

The provision for loan losses decreased 76% and 45% for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, compared to the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease during both periods was due to a decrease in the provision for retail balloon contracts primarily as a result of portfolio runoff and a strengthening used vehicle market. The used vehicle market experienced decreased supply, which in turn has alleviated pressure on residual values in the related portfolios. The three months ended June 30, 2009, also experienced a release of commercial reserves compared to an increase in the reserve balance during the same period in 2008. The change was primarily due to a decrease in related receivables because of declining dealer inventories and our decision to exit funding relationships with certain high-risk dealers. Results for the six-month period were partially offset by an increase in the retail provision primarily due to increased loss activity on our nonprime automotive financing receivables.

Other noninterest expense decreased 38% and 26% for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2008. The decreases were primarily related to favorable remarketing results, lower compensation and benefits expenses due to reduction of headcount resulting from restructuring efforts, and lower full-service leasing costs. This favorability was partially offset in both periods by higher losses on operating lease disposals within our International Automotive Finance operations.

Our Global Automotive Finance operations experienced income tax expense of $1.1 billion for both the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to income tax expense of $8 million and $46 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. The increase in tax expense is primarily due to the conversion of GMAC from a limited liability company into a corporation effective June 30, 2009. Due to our change in tax status, as of June 30, 2009, a net deferred tax liability of $1.1 billion was established through income tax expense. Refer to Note 13 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our change in tax status.

Our consumer automotive financing volume and penetration levels are significantly influenced by the nature, timing, and extent of GM’s use of rate, residual, and other financing incentives for marketing purposes on consumer retail automotive contracts and leases. Financing volume for our Global Automotive Finance operations was lower in 2009 compared to 2008 due to historically low industry sales resulting from the general economic recession as well as the mix of GM incentive programs. GM penetration levels were lower in 2009 compared to 2008 due to decreased retail originations within our International operations resulting from the wind-down of operations in several countries, higher pricing, and tighter underwriting standards in an effort to align our originations to levels consistent with reduced funding sources as a result of the disruption in the capital markets. Additionally, lease originations decreased due to the continued credit market dislocation and the increased lease pricing initiated in late 2008. These adverse conditions were partially offset following an investment we received from the U.S. Treasury’s Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) on December 29, 2008. The TARP investment provided the opportunity to expand consumer and dealer financing during 2009.

Our wholesale automotive financing continued to be the primary funding source for GM-dealer inventories. Wholesale financing volume decreased during 2009 compared to 2008, primarily because of lower GM production levels resulting from decreased industry sales. Penetration levels increased for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same periods in 2008. The increase within our North American Automotive Finance operations was primarily due to the limited availability of alternative dealer funding sources. Additionally, our International operations experienced a slight increase in penetration levels during the second quarter of 2009 primarily due to the wind-down of operations in several countries. Penetration levels remained relatively flat for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

(a) Represents the related allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total on-balance sheet automotive finance receivables and loans excluding loans held-for-sale.

The allowance for consumer loan losses at June 30, 2009, decreased compared to June 30, 2008, primarily due to a shrinking asset base. During the third quarter of 2008, the allowance related to retail balloon contracts increased as a result of the decrease in used vehicle prices and losses sustained when the vehicles were sold at auction. During 2009, the reserves have decreased as a result of portfolio runoff and the strengthening of the used vehicle market; although the allowance is still

higher when compared to levels at June 30, 2008. Additionally, the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of the total on-balance sheet consumer portfolio increased in comparison with 2008 levels. Rising unemployment and adverse market trends are driving retail delinquency higher and consequently frequency of loss.

The allowance for commercial loan losses increased at June 30, 2009, compared to June 30, 2008, primarily due to economic pressures placed on dealers as a result of declining sales volume, declining financial position, and a challenging credit environment.

Consumer Credit

Loan losses in our consumer automotive retail contract and lease portfolio are influenced by general business and economic conditions, including unemployment rates, bankruptcy filings, and used vehicle prices. We analyze loan losses according to frequency (i.e., the number of contracts that are ultimately charged off) and severity (i.e., the dollar magnitude of loss per charge-off occurrence). We manage credit risk through our contract purchase policy, credit approval process (including our proprietary credit scoring system), and servicing capabilities.

The following tables summarize pertinent loss experience in the consumer managed and on-balance sheet automotive retail contract portfolios. The managed portfolio represents finance receivables and loans, net of unearned income, and loans held-for-sale on the balance sheet and finance receivables and loans that have been securitized and sold, excluding securitized finance receivables and loans that we continue to service but in which we retain no interest or risk of loss. We believe that the disclosure of the credit experience of the managed portfolio presents a more complete presentation of our risk of loss in the underlying assets (typically in the form of a subordinated retained interest). Consistent with the presentation on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, retail contracts presented in the tables below represent the principal balance of the finance receivables discounted for any unearned interest income and rate support received from GM.

(b) Excludes amounts related to the lump-sum payments on balloon finance contracts. The amounts totaled $70 million and $144 million for the periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Loss experience in both the North American and International managed portfolios increased during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same periods in 2008. In North America, frequency of loss increased compared to prior year levels mainly due to overall weaker economic conditions partially offset by a reduction in severity of losses due to improvement in values of used vehicle prices in comparison with the same period in 2008. Increased charge-offs in the International portfolio primarily reflect weakness in Brazil and Spain.

(a) Past due contracts are calculated on the basis of the average number of contracts delinquent during the month of June and exclude accounts in bankruptcy.

Delinquency rates increased in all portfolios as of June 30, 2009, compared to June 30, 2008. We attribute much of the increase to weaker economic conditions, particularly in North America, Spain, and Latin American, and a smaller asset base, particularly in North America and Latin America. As a result of the increased delinquencies, we expanded resources dedicated to servicing and collection efforts.

The number of bankruptcies as a percentage of the average number of U.S. retail contracts outstanding increased due to more consumers experiencing hardships during the economic recession. The number of average retail contracts in bankruptcy has declined consistent with the declines in the size of the U.S. retail portfolio.

Consistent with the increase in delinquency trends, our North America and International operations experienced increased repossessions for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same period in 2008. The increase was primarily attributable to the impact of weak economic conditions on our consumer contracts.

Commercial Credit

The credit risk of our commercial portfolio is tied to overall economic conditions in the countries in which we operate and the particular circumstances of individual borrowers.

At June 30, 2009, the commercial receivables that had been securitized and accounted for as off-balance sheet transactions primarily represented wholesale lines of credit extended to automotive dealerships, which historically have experienced low charge-offs, and some dealer term loans. As a result, the following table presents only the on-balance sheet commercial portfolio credit experience.

(a) Includes loans where it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the terms of the loan.

Impaired loans decreased as of June 30, 2009, compared to December 31, 2008, primarily due to overall lower dealer inventory levels. Additionally, our asset base is smaller compared to 2008. These receivables are generally secured by vehicles, real estate, other forms of collateral, and certain GM repurchase obligations, which help mitigate losses on these loans in the event of default.

On May 21, 2009, GMAC entered into a Master Transaction Agreement (MTA) with Chrysler, U.S. Dealer Automotive Receivables Transition LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of GMAC, and the U.S. Department of the Treasury. The MTA covers reimbursement of certain qualifying losses that may be incurred in connection with certain wholesale loans during a transition period that allows time for GMAC to evaluate the creditworthiness of each Chrysler dealer. To be eligible for reimbursement of qualifying losses under the MTA, a loan must have been, among other things, funded by GMAC or its subsidiaries during the period commencing on May 21, 2009, and ending on November 21, 2009. In addition, in order to be eligible, a loan must be made to a dealer that was formerly financed by Chrysler Financial Services Americas LLC. Following the sale of Chrysler to Fiat S.p.A. on June 10, 2009, loans funded to dealers for which there is a valid and enforceable repurchase agreement with Chrysler will no longer be eligible for reimbursement of qualifying losses subject to certain exceptions.

The maximum amount of reimbursement related to qualifying losses under the MTA is limited to the lesser of (1) $450 million or (2) 90% of the aggregate principal amount of all qualifying dealer loans outstanding as of June 10, 2009. The MTA will terminate on May 21, 2013. As of June 30, 2009, the principal balance of qualifying dealer loans was approximately $694 million. GMAC has not incurred any qualifying losses on qualifying loans as of June 30, 2009.

Our Mortgage operations experienced a net loss of $1.8 billion and $2.9 billion for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, compared to a net loss of $1.9 billion and $2.7 billion for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. The 2009 results were adversely affected by conditions in the U.S. housing markets and the foreign mortgage and capital markets in which we operate. These adverse conditions resulted in tight net interest margins, higher provision for loan losses, higher impairment on investment assets, and increased reserves for our representations and warranties, and low value realization on international asset dispositions. As these market conditions persist, these unfavorable impacts on our results of operations may continue.

Net financing revenue was $83 million and $141 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, compared to $146 million and $173 million for the same periods in 2008. Total financing revenue decreased significantly for both periods in comparison to 2008 due to a decline in average asset and borrowing levels resulting from asset sales and continued portfolio runoff. Total financing revenue was also negatively impacted in 2009 by lower yields as a result of higher delinquencies and an increase in nonaccrual loans. Interest expense declined due to a lower average cost of funds due to declining interest rates in variable rate facilities and extinguishments of ResCap debt.

Net loan servicing income was $101 million and $82 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, compared to $207 million and $1.0 billion for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. The decrease in the three-month period was driven by a decline in servicing fees attributable to fewer loans serviced as a result of portfolio runoff and the sale of certain servicing assets during the second half of 2008 and unfavorable

hedge performance. The six-month period ended June 30, 2009, experienced favorable mortgage servicing valuations reflected by a marginal increase in market interest rates partially offset by decreased cash flow assumptions and increased prepayment assumptions. However, the hedge performance was less favorable for the first six months of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 primarily due to changes in the spreads between our servicing assets and the derivative instruments used to manage the interest rate risk associated with those assets. Our ability to fully hedge interest rate risk was restricted in the latter half of 2008 and during the six months ended June 30, 2009, by the limited availability of willing counterparties to enter into forward agreements and liquidity constraints hindering our ability to enter into option derivative positions.

Loss on mortgage loans, net was $402 million and $208 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, compared to losses of $1.1 billion and $1.8 billion for the same periods in 2008, respectively. Results in 2008 were significantly impacted by realized disposition losses and unfavorable valuation adjustments recorded on our mortgage loans held-for-sale and commitments, primarily in the United Kingdom and continental Europe, as well as on our mortgage loans held-for-sale in our purchased distressed asset portfolio. The three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, were negatively impacted by valuation losses on our mortgage loans held-for-sale portfolios, most specifically as a result of our commitment to sell our Spanish platform in July 2009 and realized losses from asset sales in the United Kingdom. The losses in 2009 for both periods were partially offset by more favorable margins in the domestic mortgage market as a result of our focus on originating more government-sponsored mortgage loans.

Gain on extinguishment of debt decreased by $616 million and $1.1 billion during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2008. The gain on extinguishment recognized in the second quarter of 2008 resulted from the cash repurchase of approximately $1.8 billion of ResCap’s unsecured notes in a private debt tender and exchange offerings. The remaining gains recognized in 2008 were due to ResCap’s notes that were purchased through open market repurchase transactions.

Other income, net of loss, was a loss of $333 million and $445 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, compared to losses of $492 million and $1.1 billion for the same periods in 2008. The improvements in the three- and six-month periods were driven by unfavorable valuations recorded during the first six months of 2008 on our retained interests due to increases in discount rate and severity update assumptions. The improvements in both periods were partially offset by decreases in real estate related revenues and impairments on equity investment of $220 million and $222 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2009, in conjunction with discussions held with the regulators, we concluded certain equity investments were impermissible activities of a bank holding company and made adjustments to the value of these assets in the second quarter of 2009 due to our inability to hold these investments for an extended period of time.

The provision for loan losses was $916 million and $1.6 billion for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, compared to $463 million and $762 million for the same periods in 2008. The increases for both periods were primarily related to higher provisions on our consumer mortgage loans driven by higher delinquency and loss severity assumptions. In addition, the increases in provision expense in 2009 resulted from additional specific reserves recorded against a number of distressed loans in our real-estate lending portfolio because of the continued decline in the homebuilding industry. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in provision expense resulting from lower mortgage loan and lending receivable balances in 2009 compared to 2008.

Total noninterest expense decreased by $136 million and $106 million during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2008. The improvement resulted from decreases in compensation and benefits expense due to the realization of restructuring efforts in late 2007 and 2008 and lower overall business activities. The decreases were also attributable to a reduction in professional fees, primarily due to advisory and legal fees related to debt restructuring costs incurred in 2008. These favorable impacts were partially offset by increases in our representation and warranty expense due to higher volumes of repurchase requests as well as higher frequency and severity assumptions on both conforming and nonconforming products.

Income tax benefit was $208 million and $326 million in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, compared to expenses of $129 million and $83 million for the same periods in 2008. The 2009 results were primarily due to losses realized in our domestic C-corporation entities, Ally Bank and CapRe of Vermont, and tax benefits recorded by the GMAC Mortgage Group Parent resulting from the conversion of its parent from tax partnership to

corporation effective June 30, 2009. The corporate conversion of GMAC resulted in recording a net deferred tax asset with respect to Mortgage operations of approximately $71 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2009. The tax expenses in both periods of 2008 were mainly driven by the recognition of deferred tax valuation allowances by the foreign operations. In our review of international deferred tax assets during 2008, we concluded that a full valuation allowance should be recorded for most of our international business units since we believed these tax assets would not be realized.

Mortgage loan production was $18.8 billion and $32.2 billion for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, compared to $18.1 billion and $39.0 billion for the same periods in 2008. Mortgage operations domestic loan production increased $1.5 billion, or 9%, for the three months ended June 30, 2009, and decreased $4.1 billion, or 11%, for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same periods in 2008. Mortgage operations international loan production decreased $724 million, or 69%, for the three months ended June 30, 2009, and $2.7 billion, or 84%, for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same periods in 2008. For the second consecutive quarter, mortgage loan origination volume in the U.S. market has shown signs of improvement. Our domestic loan production for the three months ended June 30, 2009, was up slightly compared to the same period in 2008 and was driven by higher government production and increased refinancing activity resulting from lower fixed mortgage rates. The decrease in our domestic loan production for the six-month period ended resulted primarily from stricter mortgage underwriting guidelines in response to market conditions and our initiative in the third quarter of 2008 to primarily originate loans supported by government-sponsored programs and other liquid exit channels. Furthermore, we announced the closure of our retail and wholesale channels in September 2008. Our international loan production decreased significantly during both periods because of our decision to cease loan origination activities in all international markets with the exception of certain mortgages in Canada.

The following summarizes mortgage loan production for the periods shown.

As a direct result of increased delinquencies and higher severity and frequency assumptions, we increased our consumer allowance coverage from 2.26% as of June 30, 2008, to 5.08% as of June 30, 2009. These allowance coverage percentages are based upon the allowance for loan losses related to consumer mortgage loans held-for-investment excluding those loans held at fair value, as a percentage of the unpaid principal balance, net of premiums and discounts. We have reduced our consumer mortgage loans held-for-investment portfolio primarily through a focus on originating more government-sponsored mortgage loans, tighter credit standards, and asset sales. The deterioration of the domestic and international housing markets has continued into the three-month period ending June 30, 2009. Our international operations loans held-for-investment unpaid principal balance and related allowance balance has also been reduced through asset sales in the United Kingdom and continental Europe and through our commitment to sell our Spanish loan platform as of June 30, 2009. The majority of these transferred and sold assets were nonperforming nonprime and nonconforming loans with a high allowance coverage.

We increased our commercial allowance coverage from 7.93% as of June 30, 2008, to 15.71% as of June 30, 2009. The significant increase was primarily driven by specific provisions recognized against a number of distressed loans in our construction-lending portfolio due to continued deteriorating market conditions.

Our net charge-offs of consumer mortgage loans held-for-investment totaled $1.1 billion and $1.2 billion for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, compared to $191 million and $337 million for the same periods in 2008. Continuing home price depreciation, rising unemployment, and other market factors have resulted in increased short sales and foreclosures driving higher frequency and severity of loss. Additionally, during the second quarter of 2009, we changed our policy to charge off first-lien mortgage loans to no later than 180 days past due, resulting in the recognition of $318 million in incremental charge-offs during the quarter. Refer to Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to our policy change. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, annualized net charge-offs represented 8.1% of the total consumer mortgage loans held-for-investment unpaid principal balance, compared to 1.8% for the same period in 2008.

Our net charge-offs of commercial-lending receivables totaled $290 million and $446 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, compared to $41 million and $139 million for the same periods in 2008. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, annualized net charge-offs of commercial-lending receivables represented 26.1% of the total commercial-lending receivables unpaid principal balance, compared to 4.6% for the same period in 2008.

Nonperforming Assets

The following table summarizes the nonperforming assets in our on-balance sheet held-for-sale and held-for-investment residential mortgage loan portfolios for each of the periods presented. Nonperforming assets are nonaccrual loans, foreclosed assets, and restructured loans. Consumer mortgage loans and commercial-lending receivables are generally placed on nonaccrual status when they are 60 days and 90 days past due, respectively, or when the timely collection of the principal of the loan, in whole or in part, is doubtful. Management’s classification of a loan as nonaccrual does not necessarily suggest that the principal of the loan is uncollectible in whole or in part. In certain cases, borrowers make payments to bring their loans contractually current; in all cases, mortgage loans are collateralized by residential real estate. As a result, our experience has been that any amount of ultimate loss for mortgage loans other than second-lien loans is substantially less than the unpaid balance of the nonperforming loans.

Delinquency and nonaccrual levels related to consumer mortgage loans held-for-investment increased throughout the six months ended June 30, 2009. Consumer mortgage loans held-for-investment past due 60 days or more increased to 18.9% of the total unpaid principal balance as of June 30, 2009, compared to 18.4% at December 31, 2008, and 14.6% at June 30, 2008.

Nonaccrual loans increased to 24.7% of the consumer mortgage loans held-for-investment portfolio as of June 30, 2009, compared to 23.2% and 17.5% as of December 31, 2008, and June 30, 2008, respectively. The increase primarily reflects higher delinquencies and loss severities within the Ally Bank loan portfolio.

Nonaccrual commercial-lending receivables were 36.4% of the commercial-lending receivables portfolio as of June 30, 2009, compared to 42.4% and 17.7% as of December 31, 2008, and June 30, 2008, respectively. The elevated level of nonaccrual loans was primarily related to distressed first lien construction loans in our commercial real estate portfolio as a result of the continued decline in the homebuilding industry.

During the period, we completed temporary and permanent loan modifications. The majority of these modifications adjust the borrower terms of loans in off-balance sheet securitization trusts, for which we retained the mortgage servicing rights. The remaining loans exist primarily in our on-balance sheet securitization trusts. If the modification was deemed temporary, our modified loans remained nonaccrual loans and retained their past due delinquency status even if the borrower has met the modified terms. If the modification was deemed permanent, the loan is returned to current status if the borrower complies with the new loan terms. As of June 30, 2009, permanent modifications of on-balance sheet consumer mortgage loans held-for-investment not recorded at fair value under SFAS 159 includes approximately $553 million of unpaid principal balance.

The following table summarizes the delinquency information for our consumer mortgage loans held-for-investment portfolio.

During the six months ended June 30, 2009, we have primarily focused our origination efforts on prime conforming and government mortgages in the United States and high-quality-insured mortgages in Canada, which reduces our overall exposure to products that increase our credit risk. As of June 30, 2009, we continue to hold mortgage loans that have features that expose us to higher levels of credit risk and thereby could result in a concentration of credit risk. These loan products include high loan-to-value mortgage loans, payment option adjustable rate mortgage loans, interest-only mortgage loans, and teaser rate mortgages. Total loan production and combined exposure related to these products recorded in finance receivables and loans and loans held-for-sale are summarized as follows:

(a) Management uses combined ratio as a primary measure of underwriting profitability with its components measured using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Underwriting profitability is indicated by a combined ratio under 100% and is calculated as the sum of all incurred losses and expenses (excluding interest and income tax expense) divided by the total of premiums and service revenues earned and other income. For 2009, the sale of certain insurance businesses and our goodwill impairment was excluded.

Our Insurance operations experienced net losses of $515 million and $465 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, compared to net income of $135 million and $267 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. Net income decreased for the periods primarily due to a $607 million goodwill impairment and unfavorable underwriting results, primarily the result of decreases in premiums earned.

Insurance premiums and service revenue earned totaled $806 million and $1.7 billion for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, compared to $1.1 billion and $2.2 billion for the same periods in 2008. Insurance premiums and service revenue earned decreased by $125 million and $245 million in the periods due to the sale of our U.S. reinsurance managing general agency in November 2008 and decreased by $42 million and $46 million due to the sale of a personal auto division in April 2009. Additionally, U.S. auto policies and dealership-related products were lower in volume due to a competitive environment and declines in vehicle sales. Decreases were also experienced within our international operations due to foreign currency impacts.

The combination of investment and other income decreased 3% and 32% for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2008. The decline in investment income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, resulted from a reduction in the size of the investment portfolio, primarily due to the sale of our U.S. reinsurance business and a personal auto division. The value of the investment portfolio was $4.7 billion and $7.1 billion at June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2009, other-than-temporary impairments of $45 million were recognized on certain investment securities due to continued unfavorable market conditions.

Insurance losses and loss adjustment expenses totaled $447 million and $935 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, compared to $682 million and $1,308 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. The decreases were primarily driven by the sale of our U.S. reinsurance agency and a personal auto division, lower loss experience in our U.S. vehicle service contract and personal insurance businesses as a result of lower volumes and weather-related losses, and unfavorable foreign currency movements within our international operations.

Acquisition and underwriting expense decreased 3% and 12% for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2008. The decreases were primarily due to the sale of our U.S. reinsurance business and a personal auto division and lower volumes of U.S. business.

During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, our Insurance operations initiated an evaluation of goodwill for potential impairment in accordance with SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. This test was initiated in light of a more-likely-than-not expectation that one of its reporting units or a significant portion of one of its reporting units would be sold. Based on the results of the assessment, it was concluded that the carrying value of one of its reporting units exceeded its fair value resulting in an impairment loss of $607 million during the period. The fair value was determined using an offer provided by a willing purchaser. No such impairment was recognized in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008.

Income tax expense decreased 33% and 48% for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2008. The decrease during the six months ended June 30, 2009, was primarily due to lower income before income taxes, which was offset by no tax benefit realized from the $607 million goodwill impairment.

Substantially all of our U.S. Insurance operations have a Financial Strength Rating (FSR) and an Issuer Credit Rating (ICR) from A.M. Best Company. The FSR is intended to be an indicator of the ability of the insurance company to meet its senior most obligations to policyholders. Lower ratings generally result in fewer opportunities to write business as insureds, particularly large commercial insureds, and insurance agencies have guidelines requiring high FSR ratings. On June 11, 2009, A.M. Best downgraded the FSR of our U.S. Insurance companies to B++ (good) and the ICR to BBB.

Corporate and Other Operations

Corporate and Other operations experienced net losses of $825 million and $755 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, compared to net losses of $10 million and $130 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. The decreases for both periods were primarily due to an increase in interest expense resulting from the amortization of the discount associated with the December 2008 bond exchange, increased income tax expense due to the conversion to a taxable corporation, the elimination of interest and amortization related to intercompany bonds held by Corporate, increased bank facility fees, higher IT project costs, and increased compensation and benefits expense. The decrease was partially offset in both periods by increased corporate overhead allocation reimbursements, increased investment income due to higher yields on intercompany bonds held by Corporate, and decreased equity investment losses. We recognized no equity investment net losses during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to net losses of $1 million and $38 million for the same periods in 2008. Additionally, the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, was impacted by a $634 million gain related to privately negotiated transactions that extinguished certain GMAC debt and unfavorable net derivative activity.

During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, Corporate forgave intercompany indebtedness resulting in intercompany gains and losses of $817 million and $1.7 billion, respectively. This indebtedness related to ResCap debt held by Corporate as a result of past open market repurchases of ResCap debt. During periods prior to June 30, 2009, gains associated with this forgiveness were reported as a part of our Mortgage operations segment, which required offsetting eliminations to be reported as part of our Corporate and Other operating segment. During the current period, as a result of a change in management’s view of certain corporate intercompany activities, the associated gains and eliminations have both been reported within the Corporate and Other reportable segment. Comparative amounts for 2008 have been reclassified to conform to the current management view.

Corporate and Other operations also include the results of our Commercial Finance Group. Our Commercial Finance Group experienced net losses of $101 million and $199 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, compared to a net loss of $10 million for the three months ended June 20, 2008, and break even for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in net income for both periods was primarily due to increases in specific provision reserves

on several resort finance business assets and clients within our European operations. These unfavorable impacts were partially offset during both periods by the income tax benefit due to higher pretax losses and the impact of our conversion to a corporation. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2009, was also impacted by an $87 million fair value impairment recorded upon the transfer of its resort finance business assets from held-for-sale to held-for-investment during the three months ended March 31, 2009. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2009, we experienced lower fee income resulting from lower factored sales volume and lower asset levels.

Liquidity Management, Funding, and Regulatory Capital

Overview

Liquidity management involves forecasting funding requirements driven by asset growth or liability maturities. The goal of liquidity management is to ensure we maintain adequate funds to meet changes in loan and lease demand, debt maturities, and unexpected deposit withdrawals. Our primary funding objective is to ensure we maintain stable and diverse access to liquidity throughout all market cycles, including periods of financial distress. Sources of liquidity include both retail and brokered deposits and both secured and unsecured market-based funding across maturities, interest rate characteristics, currencies, and investor profiles.

Liquidity risk arises from the failure to recognize or address changes in market conditions affecting both asset and liability flows. Liquidity risk management is critical to the viability of financial institutions. Since the summer of 2007, markets have remained challenging and the inability to manage liquidity needs and contingent funding exposures appropriately led to the insolvency and consolidation of several financial institutions.

ALCO, the Asset-Liability Committee, is responsible for monitoring liquidity on an ongoing basis and delegates the planning and execution of liquidity management strategies to Corporate Treasury. We manage liquidity risk at both the business segment level and a consolidated level. Each reporting segment, along with Ally Bank, prepares periodic forecasts depicting anticipated funding needs and sources of funds with oversight and monitoring by Corporate Treasury. Corporate Treasury manages liquidity under baseline projected economic scenarios as well as more severe economic stressed environments. Corporate Treasury, in turn, plans and executes our funding activities.

Funding Strategy

Our liquidity and ongoing profitability are largely dependent upon our timely access to capital and the costs associated with raising funds in different segments of the capital markets.

Historically, our funding strategy has focused on the development of diversified funding sources across a global investor base. These historic funding sources have included the following:

 

   

Public unsecured debt capital markets

 

   

Asset-backed securitizations, both public and private

 

   

Whole-loan sales

 

   

Domestic and international committed and uncommitted bank lines

 

   

Brokered certificates of deposits and retail deposits

The financial market disruptions that began in the summer of 2007 continued to impact the economy and financial services industry during 2008 and thus far in 2009. As a result, access by market participants to the debt and consumer loan securitization markets has been significantly constrained. In the second quarter of 2009, nongovernment guaranteed issuances by financial service firms were limited. In response to these market conditions, we continue to be extremely focused on maintaining and enhancing our liquidity. In addition to the traditional funding sources described above, the current market environment requires us to manage our liquidity using the following practices:

 

   

Ally Bank deposits  Ally Bank has access to funding through Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances, brokered certificates of deposit, and retail deposits. Ally Bank continues to grow and is becoming a more prominent part of our funding strategy. The deposit base grew from $19.3 billion at December 31, 2008, to $25.4 billion at June 30, 2009. In the second quarter, we received an expanded exemption from the Federal Reserve to allow Ally

Bank to originate a limited amount of GM-related retail and wholesale assets subject to certain conditions. Previously, we were more limited in the GM-related assets that could be originated in Ally Bank due to Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act. Providing relief on these restrictions has and will continue to enable us to have more funding available for a majority of our automotive finance assets, which provides a sustainable long-term funding channel for the business.

 

   

Participation in Governmental Funding Programs — The U.S. government and regulatory agencies have established numerous government programs aimed at improving the liquidity position of U.S. financial services firms. We continue to participate in certain of these initiatives:

 

   

Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (TLGP) — In the second quarter of 2009, we received approval to participate in the FDIC’s TLGP for up to $7.4 billion. This program allows us to issue senior unsecured debt guaranteed by the FDIC in return for a fee based on the amount and maturity of the debt. During the second quarter of 2009, we issued $4.5 billion of FDIC-guaranteed unsecured long-term debt. The securities offering included $3.5 billion aggregate principal amount of senior fixed rate notes and $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of senior floating rate notes, both due in December 2012. Under the program, senior unsecured debt securities of eligible participating entities issued on or after April 1, 2009, and on or before October 31, 2009, will be guaranteed by the FDIC until the earlier of the maturity dates of the securities or December 31, 2012. The FDIC has informed us that any future issuances of debt under the TLGP will require the written approval of the FDIC with the size of any further issuances being determined by the FDIC.

 

   

Federal Reserve’s Discount Window and Term Auction Facility (TAF) — The Discount Window is the primary credit facility under which the Federal Reserve extends collateralized loans to depository institutions at terms from overnight up to ninety days. The TAF program auctions a pre-announced quantity of collateralized credit starting with a minimum bid for term funds of 28- or 84-day maturity. At June 30, 2009, Ally Bank had pledged automobile loans and lease financings in an amount sufficient to generate total capacity of $3.0 billion of which $2.0 billion was outstanding and $1.0 billion was unused capacity. Use of the proceeds from these Federal Reserve programs is not limited to the financing of automobile assets and is available to Ally Bank for general corporate purposes.

 

   

Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) and other Government Capital Investments — On December 29, 2008, we sold $5.0 billion of GMAC preferred membership interests and warrants, which were immediately exercised, to the U.S. Department of the Treasury as a participant in the Automotive Financing Program created under the TARP.

In addition, we sold $7.5 billion of mandatorily convertible preferred (MCP) membership interests and warrants to the U.S. Department of the Treasury in the second quarter of 2009. The investment included $4 billion of MCP related to GMAC’s agreement with Chrysler LLC to provide automotive financing to Chrysler dealers and customers and $3.5 billion of MCP toward the Supervisory Capital Assessment Program (S-CAP) requirement. The U.S. Treasury immediately exercised the warrants, and we issued an additional $375 million of MCP.

As required by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System’s S-CAP program, by no later than November 9, 2009, GMAC is required to increase the common shareholder equity component of Tier 1 capital by $11.5 billion. By the same date, GMAC must also increase overall Tier 1 capital by $9.1 billion. Depending on the method of capital augmentation used, the increase in common shareholder equity may accomplish the increase in overall Tier 1 capital. The $3.5 billion investment by the U.S. Treasury is new Tier 1 capital for the company toward this program and reduces the level of new capital required to $5.6 billion. Consistent with the S-CAP program requirements, we submitted a Capital Plan to the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago in June 2009 with respect to the remaining capital required. While the U.S. Treasury has indicated that it may be willing to provide additional new capital, we continue to evaluate other alternatives to meet our capital requirements.

 

   

Term Asset-backed Securities Loan Facility (TALF) — Earlier this year, the Federal Reserve Board commenced a program designed to support the issuance of asset-backed securities collateralized by various types of assets including automotive consumer and commercial loans. Several issuers of asset-backed securities

issued debt under this program in the first and second quarters of 2009. We are continuing to evaluate to what extent we will use this program.

 

   

Existing secured funding facilities — Secured funding facilities continue to be an important component of our funding strategy, and we have had success renewing many of our key facilities in 2009. However, we are less dependent on these facilities due to the expanded exemption granted to Ally Bank under Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act and the funding raised in the second quarter from different government programs. Capacity under our $11.4 billion senior secured revolving credit facility declines to $7.9 billion in June 2010 but does not mature until June 2011. In addition, we maintain access to our committed automotive whole-loan forward flow agreements beyond 2009.

The actions above and participation in the above programs have allowed us to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet all maturing unsecured debt obligations as they come due. However, we have significant unsecured debt obligations coming due in the next few years. Our inability to renew the remaining loans and facilities as they mature or to generate loans within Ally Bank and fund them via deposits could have a further negative impact on our liquidity position.

Our wholly owned subsidiary, ResCap, also actively manages its liquidity and capital positions and is continually working on initiatives to address its debt covenant compliance and liquidity needs, including debt maturing in the next twelve months. Throughout 2008 and thus far in 2009, we have taken actions intended to improve liquidity and support the capital structure of ResCap. During the first six months of 2009, ResCap received capital contributions from GMAC of $1.2 billion and recognized a gain on extinguishment of debt of $1.7 billion as a result of completed divestitures to GMAC and through contributions and forgiveness of ResCap’s outstanding notes, which GMAC previously repurchased in the open market at a discount or through our private debt exchange and cash tender offers. We have previously disclosed that if ResCap were to need additional support, we would provide that support to the extent it is in the best interests of our stakeholders. However, there can be no assurances that GMAC or its affiliates will continue such actions in the future.

Cash Flows

Net cash provided by operating activities was $2.3 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $10.3 billion for the same period in 2008. The decrease in net cash used by operating activities resulted primarily from a shift in net cash flows associated with the origination and purchase of certain mortgage and automotive loans held-for-sale and the cash proceeds from the sales of and principal repayments of such loans. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the net cash outflow from originations and purchases of new mortgage and automotive loans held-for-sale exceeded cash inflows from repayments and sales by $4.2 billion. This was due largely to an increase in mortgage refinancing activity in response to actions taken by the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates during the last six months of 2008. This corresponds to a net cash inflow of $7.6 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2008, during which cash inflows from repayments and sales outpaced cash outflows for new loans due to our hindered ability to originate and sell mortgage loans at previous historical volumes, as a result of disruptions in the U.S. housing market and certain foreign mortgage and capital markets.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $10.2 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to cash used of $3.2 billion for the same period in 2008. Considering the impact of sales activity, net cash flows associated with finance receivables and loans increased $12.8 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same period in 2008. Cash flows related to operating lease activities also increased $7.5 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same period in 2008. Repayments of existing operating leases exceeded purchases of new leases as a result of a strategic decision late in the third quarter of 2008 to dramatically curtail new lease originations. These increases were partially offset by an increase in cash used to purchase available-for-sale investment securities, net of proceeds from sales and maturities, of $7.3 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same period in 2008.

Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2009, totaled $8.9 billion, compared to $10.5 billion for the same period in 2008. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the repayment of long-term debt of approximately $11.6 billion compared to the same period in 2008. Included in repayment of long-term debt during the six months ended June 30, 2009, was approximately $0.5 billion of cash outflows to repurchase certain outstanding debt in a private repurchase transaction. Proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt decreased $5.9 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same period in 2008, reflecting lower required funding levels associated with declining asset balances. These decreases in cash were partially offset by a $7.5 billion increase in cash associated with the issuance of new preferred equity shares to the U.S. Department of Treasury and $1.2 billion from the issuance of new common equity.

Short-term Debt

We obtain short-term funding from the sale of floating-rate demand notes under our Demand Notes program. The holder has the option to redeem these notes at any time without restriction. Demand Notes outstanding decreased by $0.2 billion from $1.3 billion at December 31, 2008, to $1.1 billion as of June 30, 2009. Our unsecured commercial paper programs also provide short-term funding, as do short-term bank loans. As of June 30, 2009, we had $8.2 billion in short-term debt outstanding, a decline of $2.2 billion from December 31, 2008. Refer to Note 9 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about our outstanding short-term debt.

Long-term Debt

Historically, the unsecured debt markets were a key source of long-term financing for us. However, given our current ratings profile and market environment, we have been unable to access the unsecured debt markets. With the exception of our $4.5 billion issuance of unsecured long-term debt in the second quarter of 2009 under the FDIC’s TLGP, during the six months ended June 30, 2009, we did not issue unsecured long-term debt in the capital markets.

The following table presents the scheduled maturity of unsecured long-term debt at June 30, 2009, assuming that no early redemptions occur.

Secured Financings and Off-balance Sheet Securitizations

During the three months ended June 30, 2009, our North American Automotive Finance operations executed approximately $2.8 billion in automotive whole-loan sales and had no off-balance sheet securitizations. In addition, our North American Automotive Finance operations executed approximately $790 million in secured funding during the quarter. Our International Automotive Finance operations funded approximately 37% of its operations through securitizations and other forms of secured funding.

Mortgage operations utilize committed and uncommitted secured facilities to fund inventories of mortgage loans held-for-investment, mortgage loans held-for-sale, lending receivables, mortgage servicing cash flows, and securities. Although unused capacity exists under the secured committed facilities, use of such capacity is conditioned upon certain collateral eligibility requirements, and as a result, access to capacity under these facilities may be limited. The unused capacity on the committed secured facilities can be utilized only upon the pledge of eligible assets that Mortgage operations may not currently have available or the capacity can provide funding for future asset acquisitions. Mortgage operations also utilize off-balance sheet financings. Mortgage operations off-balance sheet financings outstanding were $113 billion as of June 30, 2009, and $126 billion as of December 31, 2008. A significant portion of off-balance sheet financing relates to securitizations issued in off-balance sheet trusts.

As a part of Mortgage operations historical capital markets activity, predominantly in international operations, several of our securitizations have certain servicer obligations contingent on actions by bondholders. These servicer obligations exist in Dutch, German, and Australian securitization structures. Certain of these obligations provide the investors of the trust with the ability to put back these securities to the trust at a specified date in the future at par less losses previously allocated to the bond classes. ResCap, as servicer of the trust, is obligated to advance the funds required to redeem bondholders. ResCap has the option to purchase loans from the trust at their par value, the proceeds of which can then be used to offset the trust’s obligation to repay the servicer. The specific dates that these options can be exercised range from seven to twelve years from the securitization date. The earliest exercise date for these options is the third quarter of 2009.

The total estimated amount of Dutch and German bonds subject to these servicer obligations is approximately $8.4 billion beginning in 2009 through 2019. The estimated obligation considers contractual amortization, prepayments, and defaults among other management assumptions. The portion that is exercisable prior to December 31, 2009 and 2010, is 1.1% of the total and 4.8% of the total, respectively. Approximately 72.7% of the total estimated bonds are eligible for this servicer obligation beginning in 2013 and after.

The total estimated amount of Australian bonds subject to these servicer obligations is approximately $122.5 million all of which are exercisable in 2011.

ResCap currently holds the residual interest (first loss bond) on all of these securitizations. To the extent that the potential bonds are put back to the SPE and the loans are repurchased, ResCap has recognized the estimated future credit losses on the underlying mortgage loans in the fair market value of the retained residuals it currently holds on its balance sheet. To the extent that losses are expected to arise from factors such as liquidity or market risk of the loans that may be purchased pursuant to its servicer obligation (i.e., losses beyond the credit losses already reflected in the residual), we estimate and record this incremental loss when the likelihood of bondholder exercise is foreseeable and the incremental loss can be reasonably estimated. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, our Mortgage operations recorded a $23.1 million incremental loss related to these servicer obligations.

As of June 30, 2009, the liabilities related to these servicer obligations, after considering the valuation of residual interests, were immaterial.

Bank Deposits

We accept commercial and consumer deposits through Ally Bank in the United States. As of June 30, 2009, Ally Bank had approximately $25.4 billion of deposits compared to $19.3 billion as of December 31, 2008. Deposits are an efficient and cost-effective source of funding for us, and as a result, we have been offering competitive rates in an effort to increase our deposit levels. We also have banking operations outside of the United States in countries such as Germany, France, and Brazil.

Global Automotive Finance lines of credit — Our International operations utilize credit lines from local banks and local branches of multinational financial institutions. The lines generally have a documented credit limit to establish total capacity, but lenders are not obligated to fulfill loan requests if there is unutilized capacity. Also, lenders are not obligated to renew outstanding loans when they mature. The outstanding loans under these credit lines tend to be short-term in nature; therefore, they are renewed throughout the year. A parent guarantee from GMAC Inc. typically supports these credit lines. As of June 30, 2009, our nonconsolidated Chinese affiliate (GMAC-SAIC Automotive Finance Company Limited) had $1.5 billion of bank line capacity and $1.0 billion outstanding, which is not included in the table above.

Syndicated facilities — These are facilities that include 10 or more banks in the syndicate group. The primary syndicated facilities include the following:

 

   

NCAT and TACN — New Center Asset Trust (NCAT) is a special-purpose entity that we administer to fund assets as part of our securitization funding programs. The purpose of this entity had been to fund assets primarily through the issuance of asset-backed commercial paper. Credit commitments from banks served as backup liquidity to support the outstanding commercial paper.

In 2008, we added a feature to this program that allowed us to transfer NCAT credit commitments to another secured facility, Total Asset Collateralized Notes LLC (TACN), which is bank funded. As of June 30, 2009, there was $408 million outstanding under TACN.

On November 25, 2008, Moody’s and S&P downgraded certain asset-backed securities owned by NCAT. As a result of the downgrades, under the terms of NCAT’s liquidity facility documents, a cure period was provided during which GMAC, as administrator of NCAT, could work with Moody’s and S&P to take steps to secure a ratings upgrade for the downgraded securities. An upgrade was not achieved by the end of the cure period on January 23, 2009; at that point, an orderly wind-down of NCAT’s operations began. During the wind-down phase, NCAT could no longer purchase additional asset-backed securities or increase the principal amount of any revolving asset-backed securities it already owned. In addition, Moody’s and S&P downgraded NCAT’s commercial paper below A-1/P-1; as a result, NCAT was no longer eligible for funding from the Federal Reserve’s Commercial Paper Funding Facility (CPFF). Beginning in April 2009, none of the maturing NCAT commercial paper was renewed, and therefore, the credit commitments that served as backup liquidity support were utilized to fund the commercial paper maturities. The credit commitments subsequently expired in June 2009, but the lenders remain obligated to fund the underlying asset-backed securities beyond the expiration date. The lenders will fund securities backed by retail or lease assets until the underlying assets fully amortize. Securities backed by dealer floorplan receivables will need to be refinanced during 2009 because they will be paid down at different points in 2009. The lenders will fund the underlying assets in TACN until they fully amortize.

 

   

Secured Revolving Credit Facility — This $11.4 billion facility is secured by U.S. and Canadian automotive finance assets, and the borrowers under the facility are structured as bankruptcy-remote special-purpose entities. Capacity under this facility declines to $7.9 billion in June 2010 and ultimately matures in June 2011.

This facility includes a leverage ratio covenant that requires our reporting segments, excluding our Mortgage operations reporting segment, to have a ratio of consolidated borrowed funds to consolidated net worth not to exceed 11.0:1. For purposes of this calculation, the numerator is our total debt on a consolidated basis (excluding obligations of bankruptcy-remote special-purpose entities) less the total debt of our Mortgage operations reporting segment on our Consolidated Balance Sheet (excluding obligations of bankruptcy-remote special-purpose entities). The denominator is our consolidated net worth less our Mortgage operations consolidated net worth and certain extensions of credit from us to our Mortgage operations. As of June 30, 2009, the leverage ratio was 2.1:1. The following table summarizes the calculation of the leverage ratio covenant.

Variable Note funding facility — This facility is available to fund U.S. dealer floorplan receivables. At the start of 2009, this facility had two separate maturity dates with $3.0 billion coming due in March 2009 and another $3.0 billion coming due in March 2010. The $3.0 billion facility matured in March 2009 was not renewed. The $3.0 billion facility maturing in March 2010 remains accessible after GM’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing.

Bilateral/Multilateral bank facilities (North American and International operations) — These are primarily private securitization facilities that permanently fund a specific pool of assets. Most of the facilities for International operations are revolving; therefore, they allow for the funding of additional assets during the commitment period. Internationally, there are also secured bank lines that provided $1.5 billion of total capacity at June 30, 2009.

Repurchase agreements — Our Mortgage operations have relationships with banks and securities firms to provide funding for mortgage loans and securities through repurchase agreements and other similar arrangements. On March 16, 2009, our $1 billion syndicated whole-loan repurchase facility was terminated. While the termination lowered our overall available capacity, we did not have an outstanding debt balance due to the availability of a more efficient cost of funds within Ally Bank and limited eligible collateral. Other bilateral repurchase facilities expired in the second quarter of 2009 and were not renewed. As of June 30, 2009, none of our remaining repurchase agreements were accepting new collateral.

Facility for construction-lending receivables — In the first six months of 2008, this syndicated facility to fund construction and commercial-lending receivables went into early amortization due to Moody’s decision not to reaffirm the facility rating. As a result, all forward commitments to fund receivable obligations that were previously eligible for financing under this facility were funded by alternative sources. As of June 30, 2009, we had $313 million of debt outstanding under the facility.

Facility for mortgage servicing rights — As of June 30, 2009, we had a committed facility of $1.0 billion through which eligible mortgage servicing rights could be funded. In the second quarter of 2009, an additional $200 million of capacity was made available to fund eligible mortgage servicing rights, but this capacity is on an uncommitted basis. This facility is scheduled to mature in May 2010.

Facility for servicer advances — As of June 30, 2009, we had a $700 million facility to fund mortgage servicer advances.

Facilities for international mortgage loans — International facilities to fund mortgage loans prior to their sale or securitization include liquidity commitments to fund loans in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. In recognition of reduced financing needs abroad, we have been working with our third-party credit providers to realign our funding needs resulting in further reductions of unutilized lending commitments and the transfer of ownership of the underlying collateral via mortgage-backed securitizations or whole-loan sales.

Commercial Finance Group — Maintains conduits to fund trade receivables.

Whole-loan forward flow agreements — These represent commitments from counterparties to purchase U.S. automotive retail assets. One of our long-term strategic financing agreements includes a commitment from a financial institution to purchase up to $10.0 billion of U.S. retail automotive finance contracts every year through June 2010. There is $10.0 billion of capacity under this funding arrangement as of June 30, 2009. Our other long-term strategic financing agreement provides funding of up to $3.1 billion through October 2010.

The following table shows the current capacity and potential capacity under our secured uncommitted facilities as of June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008. Current capacity represents funding capacity that is available upon request as excess collateral resides in certain facilities. We can utilize the potential capacity only upon pledge of available eligible assets. The financial institutions providing the uncommitted facilities are not legally obligated to advance funds under them.

June 30, 2009, Ally Bank had pledged automobile loans and lease financings in an amount sufficient to generate total capacity of $3.0 billion of which $2.0 billion was outstanding and $1.0 billion was unused capacity. Use of the proceeds from these Federal Reserve programs is not limited to the financing of automobile assets and is available to Ally Bank for general corporate purposes.

FHLB advances — Ally Bank has an advance agreement with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (FHLB). Under the agreement, the FHLB has a blanket lien on all Ally Bank assets. Ally Bank had assets pledged and restricted as collateral totaling $12.6 billion and $16.0 billion as of June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008, respectively. The FHLB will allow Ally Bank to encumber elsewhere any assets restricted as collateral not needed to collateralize existing FHLB advances.

Credit Ratings

The cost and availability of unsecured financing are influenced by credit ratings, which are intended to be an indicator of the creditworthiness of a particular company, security, or obligation. Lower ratings result in higher borrowing costs and reduced access to capital markets. This is particularly true for certain institutional investors whose investment guidelines require investment-grade ratings on term debt and the two highest rating categories for short-term debt (particularly money market investors).

Nationally recognized statistical rating organizations have rated substantially all our debt. The following table summarizes our current ratings and outlook by the respective nationally recognized rating agencies.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

We use off-balance sheet entities as part of our operating and funding activities. The arrangements include the use of qualifying special-purpose entities (QSPEs) and variable interest entities (VIEs) for securitization transactions, mortgage warehouse facilities, and other mortgage-related funding programs. The majority of our off-balance sheet arrangements consist of securitization structures that we believe to be similar to those used by many other financial service companies.

The following table summarizes assets carried off-balance sheet in these entities.

Critical Accounting Estimates

We have identified critical accounting estimates that, as a result of judgments, uncertainties, uniqueness, and complexities of the underlying accounting standards and operations involved could result in material changes to our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows under different conditions or using different assumptions.

Our most critical accounting estimates are:

 

   

Fair value measurements

 

   

Valuation of investment securities

 

   

Valuation of loans held-for-sale

 

   

Determination of the allowance for loan losses

 

   

Valuation of automotive lease residuals

 

   

Valuation of mortgage servicing rights

 

   

Valuation of interests in securitized assets

 

   

Determination of reserves for insurance losses and loss adjustment expenses

 

   

Determination of provision for income taxes

Except for changes related to income taxes (as a result of our conversion from a limited liability company into a corporation effective June 30, 2009), there have been no significant changes in the methodologies and processes used in developing these estimates from what was described in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our management has discussed the development, selection, and disclosure of these critical accounting estimates with the Audit Committee of the Board, and the Audit Committee has reviewed our disclosure relating to these estimates. As part of our quarterly assessment of critical accounting estimates, we have concluded to add the determination of the provision for income taxes as one of our critical accounting estimates. Below is a description of the change in critical accounting estimates.

 

   

Determination of provision for income taxes — Effective November 28, 2006, GMAC and a number of its U.S. subsidiaries converted to limited liability companies (LLCs) and became pass-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes. With a few exceptions, from December 1, 2006, through June 30, 2009 (the LLC Period), U.S. federal, state, and local income taxes were not provided for these entities as they were generally not subject to tax. Consequently, during the LLC Period, deferred taxes were not required to be recorded on these entities. Entity level taxes still applied for a small number of state and local tax jurisdictions along with foreign withholding taxes. Where entity level or withholding taxes applied, they were provided for in the consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

 

As of June 30, 2009, GMAC converted from an LLC to a Delaware corporation, thereby ceasing to be a pass-through entity for income tax purposes. As a result, GMAC adjusted its deferred tax assets and liabilities to reflect the estimated future corporate effective tax rate. Our banking, insurance, and foreign subsidiaries were generally corporations throughout the LLC Period and continued to be subject to tax and provide for U.S. federal, state, and foreign income taxes.

We account for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, as interpreted by FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are established for future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements or tax returns, based upon enacted tax laws and rates. Deferred tax assets are recognized subject to management’s judgment that realization is more-likely-than-not. In addition, tax benefits related to positions considered uncertain are recognized only if, based on the technical merits of the issue, it is more-likely-than-not that we will sustain the position and then at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement.

Consistent with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 23, Accounting for Income Taxes — Special Areas, we periodically review business plans and financing requirements to determine whether or not unremitted earnings in our foreign subsidiaries will be remitted to the U.S. parent company or will remain indefinitely invested in the foreign subsidiary. To the extent the earnings are expected to be remitted, U.S. federal income taxes are provided.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

We follow the fair value hierarchy set forth in Note 15 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to prioritize the data used to measure fair value. We review and modify, as necessary, our fair value hierarchy classifications on a quarterly basis. As such, there may be reclassifications between hierarchy levels.

At June 30, 2009, approximately 13% of total assets, or $23.6 billion, consisted of financial instruments recorded at fair value. Approximately 46% of the assets reported at fair value were valued using Level 3 inputs. At June 30, 2009, approximately 2% of total liabilities, or $3.7 billion, consisted of financial instruments recorded at fair value. Approximately 55% of the liabilities reported at fair value were valued using Level 3 inputs. See Note 15 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for descriptions of valuation methodologies used to measure material assets and liabilities at fair value and details of the valuation models, key inputs to those models, and significant assumptions utilized.

A large percentage of our fair value assets and liabilities are Level 3. While we execute various hedging strategies to mitigate our exposure to changes in fair value, we cannot fully eliminate our exposure to volatility caused by fluctuations in market prices. In 2009 and throughout 2008, the credit markets across the globe have experienced severe dislocation. Market demand for asset-backed securities, particularly those backed by mortgage assets, has significantly contracted and in many markets has virtually disappeared. Further, market demand by whole-loan purchasers has also contracted. These unprecedented market conditions have adversely affected us as well as our competitors. As the market conditions continue, our assets and liabilities are subject to valuation adjustment and changes in the inputs we utilize to measure fair value.

As of June 30, 2009, our Level 3 assets declined 37%, or $6.4 billion, and our Level 3 liabilities declined 37%, or
$1.2 billion, compared to December 31, 2008. Despite positive mortgage servicing valuations, Level 3 assets declined primarily due to fewer nonrecurring fair value measurements (specifically loans held-for-sale and impairments on our investment in operating leases) and less favorable hedge performance primarily due to changes in the spreads between our servicing assets and the derivative instruments we use to manage interest rate risk associated with those assets. Our ability to hedge interest rate risk and foreign currency risk was restricted in the latter half of 2008 and during the six months ended June 30, 2009, by the limited availability of willing counterparties to enter into forward arrangements. The decline in Level 3 assets was also attributable to declines in the fair value of investment securities and interests retained in securitization trusts. Finally, the decline in Level 3 assets was also attributable to settlements of consumer finance receivables and loans, net of unearned income, which we elected to measure at fair value under SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS 159). As the value of these SFAS 159-elected assets declined, the value of the related on-balance sheet securitization debt also declined. We elected to measure the on-balance sheet securitization debt at fair value under SFAS 159. The decline in the fair value of the on-balance sheet securitization debt and derivative liabilities caused the Level 3 liabilities to decline as of June 30, 2009, compared to December 31, 2008.

We have numerous internal controls in place to ensure the appropriateness of fair value measurements. Significant fair value measures are subject to detailed analytics and management review and approval. We have an established model validation policy and program in place that covers all models used to generate fair value measurements. This model validation program ensures a controlled environment is used for the development, implementation, and use of the models and change procedures. Further, this program uses a risk-based approach to select models to be reviewed and validated by an independent internal risk group to ensure the models are consistent with their intended use, the logic within the models is reliable, and the inputs and outputs from these models are appropriate. Additionally, a wide array of operational controls is in place to ensure the fair value measurements are reasonable, including controls over the inputs into and the outputs from the fair value measurement models. For example, we backtest the internal assumptions used within models against actual performance. We also monitor the market for recent trades, market surveys, or other market information that may be used to benchmark model inputs or outputs. Certain valuations will also be benchmarked to market indices when appropriate and available. We have scheduled model and/or input recalibrations that occur on a periodic basis but will recalibrate earlier if significant variances are observed as part of the backtesting or benchmarking noted above.

Considerable judgment is used in forming conclusions from market observable data used to estimate our Level 2 fair value measurements and in estimating inputs to our internal valuation models used to estimate our Level 3 fair value measurements. Level 3 inputs such as interest rate movements, prepayment speeds, credit losses, and discount rates are inherently difficult to estimate. Changes to these inputs can have a significant effect on fair value measurements. Accordingly, our estimates of fair value are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized or would be paid in a current market exchange.

Forward Looking Statements

The foregoing Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and other portions of this Form 10-Q contain various forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable federal securities laws, including the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, that are based upon our current expectations and assumptions concerning future events that are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.

The words “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “initiative,” “objective,” “plan,” “goal,” “project,” “outlook,” “priorities,” “target,” “intend,” “evaluate,” “pursue,” “seek,” “may,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “believe,” “potential,” “continue,” or the negative of any of these words or similar expressions is intended to identify forward-looking statements. All statements herein, other than statements of historical fact, including without limitation statements about future events and financial performance, are forward-looking statements that involve certain risks and uncertainties.

While these statements represent our current judgment on what the future may hold and we believe these judgments are reasonable, these statements are not guarantees of any events or financial results, and GMAC’s and Residential Capital, LLC’s (ResCap) actual results may differ materially due to numerous important factors that are described in the most recent reports on SEC Forms 10-K and 10-Q for GMAC and ResCap, each of which may be revised or supplemented in subsequent reports on SEC Forms 10-Q and 8-K. Such factors include, among others, the following: our inability to successfully accommodate the additional risk exposure relating to providing wholesale and retail financing to Chrysler dealers and customers and the resulting impact to our financial stability; uncertainty regarding GM’s and Chrysler’s recent emergence from bankruptcy protection; uncertainty related to the new financing arrangement between GMAC and Chrysler; uncertainty regarding our ability to raise the additional capital required as a result of the recently completed Supervisory Capital Assessment Program and uncertainty around the ultimate form, amount, and terms of such capital; securing low cost funding for GMAC and ResCap and maintaining the mutually beneficial relationship between GMAC, GM, and Chrysler; our ability to maintain an appropriate level of debt; the profitability and financial condition of GM and Chrysler; our ability to realize the anticipated benefits associated with our recent conversion to a bank holding company and the increased regulation and restrictions that we are subject to; continued challenges in the residential mortgage and capital markets; continued deterioration in the residual value of off-lease vehicles; the continuing negative impact on ResCap of the decline in the U.S. housing market; changes in U.S. government-sponsored mortgage programs or disruptions in the markets in which our

mortgage subsidiaries operate; disruptions in the market in which we fund GMAC’s and ResCap’s operations with resulting negative impact on our liquidity; changes in our accounting assumptions that may be required by or result from changes in accounting rules or their application that could result in an impact on earnings; changes in the credit ratings of ResCap, GMAC, GM, or Chrysler; changes in economic conditions, currency exchange rates, or political stability in the markets in which we operate; and changes in the existing or the adoption of new laws, regulations, policies, or other activities of governments, agencies, and similar organizations. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. GMAC undertakes no obligation to update publicly or otherwise revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events, or other such factors that affect the subject of these statements, except where expressly required by law.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Our automotive financing, mortgage, and insurance activities give rise to market risk, representing the potential loss in the fair value of assets or liabilities caused by movements in market variables, such as interest rates, foreign-exchange rates, and equity prices. We are primarily exposed to interest rate risk arising from changes in interest rates related to financing, investing, and cash management activities. More specifically, we have entered into contracts to provide financing, to retain mortgage servicing rights, and to retain various assets related to securitization activities all of which are exposed in varying degrees to changes in value due to movements in interest rates. Interest rate risk arises from the mismatch between assets and the related liabilities used for funding. We enter into various financial instruments, including derivatives, to maintain the desired level of exposure to the risk of interest rate fluctuations. Refer to Note 12 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

We are exposed to foreign-currency risk arising from the possibility that fluctuations in foreign-exchange rates will affect future earnings or asset and liability values related to our global operations. Our most significant foreign-currency exposures relate to the Euro, Canadian dollar, British pound sterling, Brazilian real, and Mexican peso.

We are also exposed to equity price risk, primarily in our Insurance operations, which invests in equity securities that are subject to price risk influenced by capital market movements. Our equity securities are considered investments, and we do not enter into derivatives to modify the risks associated with our Insurance operations investment portfolio.

While the diversity of activities from our complementary lines of business may partially mitigate market risk, we also actively manage this risk. We maintain risk management control systems to monitor interest rate, foreign-currency exchange rate, equity price risks, and any of their related hedge positions. Positions are monitored using a variety of analytical techniques including market value, sensitivity analysis, and value at risk models.

Since December 31, 2008, there have been no material changes in these market risks. Refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, for further discussion on value at risk and sensitivity analysis.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the specified time periods. As of the end of the period covered by this report, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer evaluated, with the participation of our management, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on our evaluation, GMAC’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer each concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2009.

During the three-month period ended June 30, 2009, we implemented a new financial consolidation system that was integrated into our financial reporting process during the same period. The implementation was not made in response to any deficiency in our internal controls. Implementation of this new system involved changes to our financial reporting procedures and controls. Our management believes that appropriate internal controls are in place with the new financial consolidation system. There were no other changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the

 

108


Table of Contents

 

Exchange Act) that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal controls will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within GMAC have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with associated policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are subject to potential liability under laws and government regulations and various claims and legal actions that are pending or may be asserted against us. Please refer to the Legal Proceedings section in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding pending legal actions.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Other than with respect to the risk factors provided below, there have been no material changes to the Risk Factors described in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Risks Related to Our Business

We are required to raise additional equity capital as a result of the Supervisory Capital Assessment Program.

On May 7, 2009, the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago (FRBC) released results of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System’s Supervisory Capital Assessment Program (S-CAP), which reflected certain capital requirements for GMAC. In connection with the S-CAP, we committed that no later than November 9, 2009, we will have increased the common shareholder equity component of Tier 1 capital by $11.5 billion, and by the same date, we will have increased overall Tier 1 capital by $9.1 billion. On May 21, 2009, GMAC sold to the U.S. Department of the Treasury mandatorily convertible preferred stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $7.5 billion in cash. This investment included $3.5 billion of the required capital pursuant to the S-CAP and reduced the level of new capital required to $5.6 billion.

As required under S-CAP, on June 8, 2009, we submitted a capital plan to the FRBC with respect to the remaining capital that is required. While the U.S. Treasury has indicated that it may be willing to provide additional new capital, GMAC continues to evaluate other alternatives to meet its capital requirements. If we are unable to successfully raise the required additional capital, it could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operation, and financial position.

The profitability and financial condition of our operations are heavily dependent upon the performance, operations, and prospects of GM and Chrysler, each of which have recently emerged from bankruptcy protection.

On July 10, 2009, General Motors Company (GM) completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Motors Liquidation Company (formerly known as General Motors Corporation) and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the Sellers). In connection with the sale, all material contracts between GMAC and General Motors Corporation were assumed by GM. Furthermore, as noted above, we have recently announced that we have entered into an agreement with Chrysler to provide automotive financing products and services to Chrysler dealers and customers pursuant to which we will be the preferred provider of new wholesale financing for Chrysler dealer inventory. Chrysler has also recently emerged from bankruptcy protection.

GM, GM dealers, and GM-related employees compose a significant portion of our customer base, and our Global Automotive Finance operations are highly dependent on GM production and sales volume. As a result, a significant adverse change in GM’s business, including significant adverse changes in its liquidity position and access to the capital markets, the production or sale of GM vehicles, the quality or resale value of GM vehicles, the use of GM marketing incentives, GM’s relationships with its key suppliers, or GM’s relationship with the United Auto Workers and other labor unions and other factors impacting GM or its employees could have a significant adverse effect on our profitability and financial condition.

During 2008 and continuing into 2009, global vehicle sales declined rapidly, and there is no assurance that the global automotive market or GM’s and Chrysler’s respective share of that market will not suffer a significant further downturn. Vehicle sales volume could be further adversely impacted by ongoing restructuring that is expected to reduce the number of GM retail channels and core brands and consolidate GM’s dealer network. Furthermore, as noted above, both General Motors Corporation and Chrysler filed for bankruptcy in 2009 and have subsequently emerged from such proceedings. It is difficult to predict with certainty the consequences of these bankruptcy filings and the impact it could have on consumer sentiment and GM’s and Chrysler’s businesses. Any negative impact could in turn have a material adverse affect on our business, results of operations, and financial position.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Issuance of Preferred Equity

On May 21, 2009, GMAC entered into an agreement with the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the Treasury) pursuant to which GMAC issued and sold to the Treasury (1) 150,000,000 units of GMAC’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Membership Interests, Series F, having a capital amount of $50 per unit (the Series F Interests) and (2) a ten-year warrant to purchase up to 7,501,500 units of the Series F Interests at an initial exercise price of $0.01 per unit (the Warrant) for an aggregate purchase price of $7.5 billion in cash. The Treasury immediately exercised the Warrant for a net issuance of 7,500,000 units of the Series F Interests. As described below, as a result of the Conversion (as defined below) the Series F Interests have been converted into GMAC Fixed Rate Cumulative Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Stock, Series F (Series F Preferred Stock).

The Series F Preferred Stock is convertible into GMAC common stock at the Conversion Rate (as defined below) either: (1) at GMAC’s option, at any time or from time to time, and subject to certain exceptions and requirements, with the prior approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; or (2) at the Treasury’s option, upon the occurrence of (a) any public offering of GMAC common stock or (b) certain sales, mergers, or changes of control of GMAC. All units of the Series F Preferred Stock which remain outstanding on May 21, 2016, will convert into GMAC common stock at the Conversion Rate.

The “Conversion Rate” is equal to 0.00432, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, which represents the number of shares of common stock for which each unit of the Series F Preferred Stock will be exchanged upon conversion. The Conversion Rate was determined based on the valuation performed by an independent investment bank hired by GMAC with the consent of the Treasury. An independent accounting firm confirmed the investment bank’s mathematical process.
