</TABLE>

The 4%  increase  in third  quarter  net income  from  financing  operations  is
primarily attributable to growth in mortgage financing operations. Earnings from
automotive financing were relatively  unchanged  period-to-period due to reduced
net financing margins partially offset by lower operating  expenses.  Net income
from insurance  operations decreased 9% during the third quarter compared to the
same period in 1996. The quarterly  decrease can be attributed to lower capital
gains partially offset by improved  underwriting results in automobile insurance
and extended warranty coverages.

UNITED STATES NEW PASSENGER CAR AND TRUCK DELIVERIES
Increases in the  percentage  of new GM vehicles  financed by GMAC for the three
and nine month periods ended September 30, 1997, compared to the same periods in
1996,  can be attributed  primarily to special rate  financing and  incentivized
retail installment sales programs sponsored by General Motors Corporation(GM).

</TABLE>

During the three and nine month periods  ending  September 30, 1997, the Company
financed a greater  number of new  vehicles  in the U.S.,  compared  to the same
periods in 1996. The increased  number of retail  contracts can be attributed to
an increase in special rate  incentives  sponsored by GM in the third quarter of
1997.  Operating lease volume declined in the U.S. due to a reduction in special
rate operating  lease plans offered by GM during 1997. For the third quarter and
first nine months of 1997, new deliveries  financed in other countries increased
20% and 23%,  compared to the same respective  periods in 1996. The increase was
primarily  attributable to growth in Canadian retail  installment sale contracts
and Canadian and European operating leases.

GMAC also provides  wholesale  financing for GM and other  dealers' new and used
vehicle inventories.  In the United States, inventory financing was provided for
756,000 and  2,428,000  new GM vehicles  during the third quarter and first nine
months of 1997,  compared with 799,000 and 2,479,000 new GM vehicles  during the
same periods in 1996.  GMAC's wholesale  financing  represented  67.5% of all GM
U.S.  vehicle sales to dealers  during the first nine months of 1997,  down from
70.1% for the comparable  period a year ago. The decline in wholesale  financing
levels can be attributed to competitive market conditions.

<PAGE>

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
         FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

INCOME AND EXPENSES 
Consolidated  financing  revenue  totaled $3.1 billion for the third  quarter of
1997, 2% below the comparable period in 1996.  Results for the nine month period
ended September 30, 1997 were $9.5 billion,  essentially unchanged from the same
period last year. Retail and leasing revenues were down 4% for the quarter,  and
1% for the nine month period,  principally  due to lower average asset levels in
the United States.  Wholesale and term loan financing  revenue increased 15% and
7% during the third  quarter and nine month  period,  respectively.  This can be
attributed to higher average wholesale  outstandings due to the absence of sales
of wholesale receivables during the first nine months of 1997 compared with $1.9
billion sold during the first nine months of 1996.

The Company's  worldwide  cost of borrowing for the third quarter and first nine
months of 1997 averaged 6.34% and 6.30%,  respectively,  a decrease of 15 and 26
basis points from the comparable periods one year ago. Total borrowing costs for
U.S.  operations  averaged  6.44% and 6.38% for the third quarter and first nine
months of 1997,  compared to 6.44% and 6.48% for the respective periods in 1996.
The lower average  borrowing costs for the nine months of 1997 were attributable
to a greater proportion of floating rate short-term borrowings in GMAC's funding
mix.

Other income,  including  gains and fees related to sold finance  receivables as
well as mortgage banking activities, totaled $698.8 million and $1,933.9 million
for the third quarter and nine months ended  September  30, 1997,  respectively,
compared to $557.3  million and  $1,545.2  million  during the  comparable  1996
periods.  The increase  during 1997 is principally the result of higher revenues
from  mortgage  operations  and an  increase  in capital  gains  from  insurance
operations.

Annualized  net  retail  losses  were  1.12% and 1.27% of total  average  retail
serviced assets during the third quarter and first nine months of 1997, compared
to 1.23% and 1.21% for the same periods last year.  For the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 1997, the provision for financing  losses  decreased
by 3% and 9% from the respective 1996 periods.

Salaries and benefits increased 19% and 12% for the three and nine month periods
ended  September  30,  1997  when  compared  to the same  periods  in 1996.  The
increases are a result of continued growth in mortgage operations.

Other  operating  expenses  totaled $411.6 million and $1,256.5  million for the
three and nine month  periods  ended  September  30, 1997,  13% and 1% below the
respective prior year periods.  The 13% decline for the comparative quarters was
mainly  attributable to lower  provisions for repossessed  assets and non-income
taxes.

United States,  foreign and other income tax expense  totaled $242.5 million and
$745.9  million for the three and nine month periods  ended  September 30, 1997.
This represents a 4% and 16% increase  compared to the same periods in 1996. The
increased  expense can be  attributed to higher  consolidated  net income before
taxes and the effects of U.S. federal taxes on foreign source income.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
         FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

In August  1997,  the Company  announced  that it  intended  to acquire  certain
operating  assets of LSI  Holdings,  Inc., a subprime  financing  and  servicing
company,  and is establishing  Nuvell Credit  Corporation  and Nuvell  Financial
Services  Corporation  as  two  new  subsidiaries  that  will  conduct  subprime
financing and servicing  operations,  respectively,  in the United  States.  The
transaction  was  completed  with an  effective  date of November  1, 1997.  The
acquisition  will enable GMAC to continue its growth  strategy in the  financial
services industry.

MORTGAGE  OPERATIONS  
GMACMG has  continued to maintain its position as a leading  mortgage  banker in
the United  States.  The favorable  earnings  growth for GMACMG in 1997 reflects
increased revenue in all segments of the mortgage business.  The combined GMACMG
servicing portfolio, excluding GMAC term loans to dealers, at September 30, 1997
totaled $128.6 billion, 20% and 24% higher than at December 31 and September 30,
1996,  respectively.   The  increases  were  primarily  attributable  to  higher
commercial and master servicing outstandings.

INSURANCE OPERATIONS
MIC's net income for the respective three and nine month periods ended September
30, 1997 was $50.1 million and $170.7 million,  9% lower and 38% higher than the
comparable  periods in 1996.  During the third  quarter of 1997,  lower  capital
gains,  partially offset by improved underwriting  results,  caused the earnings
decline.  The income  increase  during the first nine months of 1997 compared to
the same period in 1996 is primarily attributable to a $33.3 million increase in
capital gains and improved underwriting results.

As reported in the Company's  June 30, 1997  Quarterly  Report on Form 10-Q, the
Company announced an agreement providing for Integon Corporation, a non-standard
automotive insurance provider, to merge with a wholly-owned  subsidiary of GMAC.
In October 1997,  regulatory  and  shareholder  approvals  were received and the
acquisition  was  completed  for a  purchase  price  of $528  million  plus  the
assumption of $250 million in long-term debt.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
At  September  30,  1997,  the  Company  owned  assets and  serviced  automotive
receivables totaling $113.6 billion,  $5.5 billion above year-end 1996, and $7.0
billion above  September 30, 1996 levels.  Earning assets totaled $102.3 billion
at September  30, 1997,  compared to $95.7 billion and $93.2 billion at December
31 and September 30, 1996, respectively. The increases over the comparable prior
year periods can be attributed to higher outstanding  balances for wholesale and
operating  lease   receivables,   real  estate   mortgages  and  investments  in
securities.

<PAGE>

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
         FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

Finance receivables serviced by the Company, including sold receivables, totaled
$69.2 billion at September 30, 1997,  relatively  unchanged from the December 31
and September 30, 1996 balances of $69.1 billion and $68.8 billion respectively.

Consolidated operating lease assets, net of depreciation,  totaled $26.4 billion
at September  30, 1997,  reflecting  increases of 6% and 5% over December 31 and
September  30, 1996  balances,  respectively.  The portfolio  growth  reflects a
continued  trend of more  consumers  selecting  leasing  as a method to  finance
vehicles.

Investments  in securities at September 30, 1997 totaled $5.8 billion,  compared
with $4.6  billion  and $4.4  billion at  December 31 and  September  30,  1996,
respectively.   The  year-to-year  increase  was  primarily  due  to  growth  of
mortgage-related  securities and insurance operations  portfolios.  In addition,
the  September  30,  1997  balance  includes  the effects of the January 1, 1997
adoption  of  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standard  ("SFAS")  No. 125,
Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial  Assets and  Extinguishments
of Liabilities,  for certain  mortgage-related  securities.  This new accounting
standard requires that excess servicing fees, formerly included in other assets,
be reclassified as financial assets.

The Company's due and deferred from receivable  sales (net) totaled $1.0 billion
at September 30, 1997,  18% and 21% below  balances at December 31 and September
30,  1996,  respectively.  The  decrease  during the first  nine  months of 1997
resulted  principally  from the recent  maturity  of a  revolving  trust of sold
wholesale  accounts  and  the  Company's  administrative  repurchase  of  retail
receivables outstanding from four prior sale transactions.

As of  September  30, 1997,  GMAC's  total  borrowings  were $82.9  billion,  an
increase  from $78.7  billion and $75.0 billion at December 31 and September 30,
1996, respectively. The higher year-to-year debt levels were principally used to
fund increased earning asset levels. GMAC's ratio of debt to total stockholder's
equity at September 30, 1997 was 9.6:1,  compared to 9.5:1 at December 31, 1996,
and 9.1:1 at September 30, 1996.  During the third quarter of 1997,  the Company
continued to utilize its asset securitization  program by selling retail finance
receivables  totaling  $2.1  billion.  The Company  continues  to service  these
receivables for a fee.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF 
          FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

The Company and its subsidiaries  continue to maintain substantial bank lines of
credit which  totaled  $39.6  billion at September  30, 1997,  compared to $40.7
billion at year-end  1996 and $40.8  billion at September  30, 1996.  The unused
portion of these credit lines totaled $31.1 billion at September 30, 1997,  $0.5
billion  higher and $0.9 billion  lower than  December 31 and September 30, 1996
balances, respectively. Included in the unused credit lines are a committed U.S.
revolving credit facility of $10.0 billion which serves primarily as back-up for
GMAC's unsecured commercial paper program and a $11.5 billion U.S.  asset-backed
commercial paper liquidity and receivables  credit facility for New Center Asset
Trust (NCAT), a  non-consolidated  limited purpose business trust established to
issue asset-backed commercial paper.

As  discussed  in the  Company's  1996 Annual  Report on Form 10-K, a variety of
interest  rate and  currency  derivative  instruments  are  utilized in managing
interest rate and foreign exchange exposures. During the nine month period ended
September 30, 1997,  there were no  significant  changes in the Company's use of
derivative financial instruments.

CASH FLOWS
Cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30,
1997 totaled $3.8 billion,  a decrease from the $4.7 billion provided during the
comparable 1996 period. The decrease was primarily attributable to increased net
purchases of both  mortgage  loans and mortgage  trading  securities,  partially
offset by higher  taxes  payable  and  increases  in  payables to GM for vehicle
shipments to dealers under GMAC wholesale finance agreements.

Cash used for investing  activities during the first nine months of 1997 totaled
$8.6  billion,  compared with $4.5 billion  during the same period in 1996.  The
period-to-period increase was primarily attributable to lower sale of receivable
proceeds resulting from decreased asset securitization activity.

During the first nine  months of 1997,  cash  provided by  financing  activities
totaled $4.5 billion,  compared with  approximately $0.7 billion of cash used by
financing  activities  during the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The $5.2
billion  change  was  primarily  attributable  to  increased  proceeds  from the
issuance  of short  term debt used to fund  increases  in  wholesale  receivable
balances.

ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 1997, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No.
130, Reporting Comprehensive Income,  effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1997.  This statement  requires that all items that are required to
be recognized under accounting  standards as components of comprehensive  income
be reported in a financial  statement that is displayed with the same prominence
as other financial  statements.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
          FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (concluded)

In June 1997,  the FASB issued SFAS No. 131,  Disclosures  about  Segments of an
Enterprise  and Related  Information,  effective  for financial  statements  for
periods beginning after December 15, 1997. This statement  establishes standards
for  reporting   information  about  operating   segments  in  annual  financial
statements and requires selected information about operating segments in interim
financial  reports issued to  shareholders.  It also  establishes  standards for
related  disclosures  about  products and services,  geographic  areas and major
customers.

The ratio of earnings to fixed  charges has been  computed by dividing  earnings
before income taxes and fixed charges by the fixed charges.  This ratio includes
the earnings and fixed charges of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Fixed charges consist of interest,  debt discount and expense and the portion of
rentals  for  real  and  personal   properties   in  an  amount   deemed  to  be
representative of the interest factor.
