Consolidated Return on Average Equity                 15.7%           17.8%
</TABLE>

The 4% decline in net income from  automotive  financing  operations  during the
first quarter of 1998, compared to the same period in 1997, can be attributed to
reduced net financing  margins  partially offset by a lower effective income tax
rate and a decrease in provisions for credit losses.

Earnings from insurance  operations increased by 2% when comparing first quarter
1998 with the same period  during 1997.  Improved  underwriting  results was the
primary contributor to the increase, partially offset by lower capital gains.

Net income from mortgage  operations  for the three month period ended March 31,
1998,  was 37% lower than the same three  month  period in 1997.  Earnings  were
lower primarily due to the effects of accelerated prepayment experience on first
and second mortgages, resulting from lower interest rates.

UNITED STATES NEW PASSENGER CAR AND TRUCK DELIVERIES
During the first  quarter  of 1998,  deliveries  of new  General  Motors  ("GM")
vehicles in the U.S. were substantially unchanged compared to the same period in
1997.

</TABLE>


During the first  quarter of 1998,  the Company  increased  its financing of new
vehicles in the U.S. by 27% over the comparable  period in 1997 principally as a
result of increased retail and operating lease incentive  programs  sponsored by
GM. Outside of the U.S., retail financing levels in Canada increased by 66% over
the same period in 1997, primarily as a result of additional GM sponsored retail
incentive  programs.  Growth in European  and Latin  American  retail  financing
portfolios  during the first  quarter of 1998,  compared  to the same  period in
1997, also contributed to the 22% worldwide gain in financing volume.

GMAC also provides  wholesale  financing for GM and other  dealers' new and used
vehicle inventories.  In the United States, inventory financing was provided for
725,000  and  841,000 new GM  vehicles,  representing  62.8% and 67.9% of all GM
sales to  dealers  during  the first  quarter  of 1998 and  1997,  respectively.
Increased  competitive  market  conditions  led  to  the  decline  in  wholesale
penetration levels.

INCOME AND EXPENSES
Automotive financing revenue totaled $3,106.8 million   in  the first quarter of
1998, a decrease  of $67.9  million  compared  with the  first  quarter of 1997.
Reduced  average  outstanding  automotive  receivable  balances  resulting  from
increased  sales  of  receivables activity during 1997 was the leading factor in
the decline in total finance revenue.


<PAGE>


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

The Company's worldwide cost of borrowing for the first quarter of 1998 averaged
6.09%,  a decrease  of 18 basis  points  from the first  quarter of 1997.  Total
borrowing costs for U.S. operations averaged 6.08% for the first quarter of 1998
compared  with  6.31%  for  the  same  period in 1997. The decreases in U.S. and
worldwide borrowing costs are attributable to lower long-term interest rates and
a greater  proportion of floating rate debt compared to fixed rate debt.

Insurance  premiums  earned,  mortgage revenue and other income totaled $1,219.2
million for the three months ended March 31,  1998,  a $287.0  million  increase
over the  comparable  1997 period.  The improvement is primarily attributable to
higher insurance  premiums  and investment income resulting from the acquisition
of  Integon  by  GMACI  in  October 1997, as well as higher  mortgage investment
income, partially offset by lower capital  gains  for insurance operations.

Consolidated  salaries and other operating  expenses  totaled $788.2 million and
$694.2  million for the  respective  quarters ended March 31, 1998 and 1997. The
increase  is mainly  attributable  to the  acquisition  of Integon  by GMACI and
continued growth at GMACMG.

Annualized  net retail  losses were 1.03% of total average  serviced  automotive
receivables  during the first  quarter of 1998,  compared  to 1.41% for the same
period last year.  The provision for credit losses  totaled  $107.2  million and
$129.9  million  for the three  month  periods  ended  March 31,  1998 and 1997,
respectively.  The decline in the  provision  is  primarily  due to lower credit
losses resulting from tightened credit standards.

The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 1998 was 32.1%,  compared
to 41.2% and 41.0% at December  31, 1997 and March 31, 1997,  respectively.  The
decrease in the  effective  tax rate can be attributed to lower U.S. and foreign
taxes  assessed on foreign source income and a favorable  change  resulting from
periodic assessments of state and local income tax accruals.

INSURANCE OPERATIONS
Net premiums  earned by GMACI and its  subsidiaries  totaled  $471.0 million and
$305.5  million  for the three  month  periods  ended  March 31,  1998 and 1997,
respectively.  Pre-tax  capital  gains at GMACI  totaled  $49.9  million for the
quarter  ended March 31, 1998  compared to $68.8  million for the quarter  ended
March 31, 1997.  Insurance  losses and loss adjustment  expenses  totaled $353.0
million and $228.3 million during the same comparable periods.  The increases in
net premiums  earned and losses are primarily  attributable  to the inclusion of
Integon's  non-standard  automobile  operations since its acquisition in October
1997.  The  decline  in  capital  gains is due to additional diversification  of
GMACI's  investment  portfolio   during   1997  which   resulted  in   a  higher
concentration  of gains in the first quarter of 1997 compared to the same period
in 1998.

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

MORTGAGE OPERATIONS
During the first quarter of 1998,  GMACMG loan origination,  mortgage  servicing
acquisitions and correspondent loan volume totaled $16.8 billion, an increase of
$9.3  billion  compared  with the first  quarter of 1997.  Reflecting  sustained
growth over the past twelve months,  the combined  GMACMG  servicing  portfolio,
excluding  GMAC term loans to dealers,  totaled $147.7 billion at March 31, 1998
compared with the $141.2 billion and $110.7 billion  serviced at December 31 and
March 31, 1997, respectively.

On April 2, 1998,  GMAC Mortgage  Corporation  announced  that it entered into a
letter of intent to acquire a $28.1  billion  mortgage  servicing  portfolio and
related servicing assets and subservice an additional $6.4 billion in bank-owned
loans of Wells Fargo Bank,  N.A. The transaction is expected to close during the
second quarter of 1998.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
At  March  31,  1998,  the  Company's  owned  assets  and  serviced   automotive
receivables  totaled  $125.6  billion,  which was $4.4 billion and $16.2 billion
higher than  December 31 and March 31, 1997,  respectively.  Comparing the first
quarter  of  1998 to the  same  period  in  1997,  the  higher  balances  can be
attributed  to  increases  in  serviced   retail  and   wholesale   receivables,
investments in securities,  real estate  mortgages,  operating  lease assets and
receivables due from General Motors Corporation.

Additionally,  the Company's  non-prime financing  subsidiary,  Nuvell Financial
Services Corporation, serviced $1.9 billion in mortgage and other non-automotive
receivables at March 31, 1998,  which is $0.3 billion less than the $2.2 billion
serviced at December 31, 1997.

Earning  assets  totaled  $109.5  billion at March 31,  1998  compared to $104.5
billion and $99.5 billion at December 31 and March 31, 1997,  respectively.  The
increase since  year-end 1997 is primarily  attributable  to higher  outstanding
balances in retail and wholesale finance  receivables as well as receivables due
from General Motors Corporation.

Finance receivables serviced by the Company, including sold receivables, totaled
$76.0 billion,  $73.4 billion and $71.2 billion at March 31, 1998,  December 31,
1997 and March 31, 1997,  respectively.  On-balance sheet  consolidated  finance
receivables at March 31, 1998 totaled $64.6 billion, 7% and 1% above December 31
and March 31, 1997,  respectively.  The increases from the first quarter of 1997
and year-end  1997 are  attributable  to  increased  retail  incentive  programs
sponsored by GM in the U.S. and Canada.

Investment in operating lease assets, net of accumulated  depreciation,  totaled
$26.2 billion at March 31, 1998, compared to $25.8 billion at year-end 1997, and
$24.6  billion at March 31,  1997.  The  increase in balances  from the quarters
ended March 31, 1997 to March 31, 1998 can be  attributed  to  additional  lease
incentive programs sponsored by GM during the first quarter of 1998.


<PAGE>


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


Investments in securities at March 31, 1998 totaled $7.7 billion,  compared with
$7.9 billion and $5.2  billion at December 31 and March 31, 1997,  respectively.
The $2.5 billion  increase in the  portfolio at the end of the first  quarter of
1998 over the same period in 1997 is  attributable to the acquisition of Integon
by GMACI and continued growth at GMACMG.

The  Company's  due and deferred  from  receivable  sales (net)  totaled  $258.6
million at March 31, 1998,  compared with $690.5  million and $585.3  million at
December 31 and March 31, 1997,  respectively.  The  significant  decline in the
March 31, 1998  balance was  primarily  due to the upgrade in GMAC's  short-term
debt rating by Standard & Poor's Ratings Group in January 1998, which eliminated
the  requirement  to  segregate  and  hold  in  trust  the  collections  on sold
receivables.

As of March 31, 1998, GMAC's total borrowings were $89.6 billion,  compared with
$86.7 billion and $81.3 billion at December 31 and March 31, 1997, respectively.
The higher debt balances were used to fund increased asset levels. The Company's
ratio of debt to total stockholder's equity at March 31, 1998, December 31, 1997
and March 31, 1997 was 9.9:1.

The Company and its subsidiaries maintain substantial bank lines of credit which
totaled $40.0  billion at March 31, 1998,  compared to $39.8 billion at year-end
1997 and $40.0  billion at March 31,  1997.  The unused  portion of these credit
lines totaled $31.1 billion at March 31, 1998, $0.7 billion higher than December
31,  1997,  and $0.2 billion  lower than March 31, 1997.  Included in the unused
credit lines are a committed U.S. revolving credit facility of $10 billion which
serves primarily as back-up for GMAC's unsecured commercial paper program and an
$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.

Effective April 23, 1998,  Moody's Investors Service increased the rating of the
Company's  senior  debt from A3 to A2.  The  increase  in the  rating is closely
related to the improved financial  condition of GM, which also received the same
upgrade of its senior debt.

As  discussed  in the  Company's  1997 Annual  Report on Form 10-K,  the Company
utilizes a variety of  interest  rate and  currency  derivative  instruments  in
managing its interest rate and foreign exchange  exposures.  The notional amount
of  derivatives  increased  from $56.4  billion at  December  31,  1997 to $69.6
billion at March 31, 1998. The change is primarily  attributable  to an increase
in  financial  instruments  associated  with  mortgage  related  securities  and
mortgage related commitments.

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

ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In February  1998, the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  ("FASB")  issued
Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS")  No.  132,  Employers'
Disclosures  about  Pensions  and Other  Postretirement  Benefits.  SFAS No. 132
requires an entity to disclose  certain  information  about  pensions  and other
postretirement  benefits. The effects of adopting these new accounting standards
will not be material to the Company's  consolidated  financial statements,  when
adopted for this fiscal year, as required.

In the  first  quarter  of 1998,  the  AICPA's  Accounting  Standards  Executive
Committee issued  Statement of Position (SOP) 98-1,  Accounting for the Costs of
Computer  Software  Developed or Obtained for  Internal  Use. SOP 98-1  provides
guidance on the capitalization of software for internal use. GMAC will adopt SOP
98-1 on January 1, 1999,  as required.  Management  is currently  assessing  the
impact of this SOP on the financial statements of the Company.

</TABLE>

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.

ITEM 6.  EXHIBITS AND REPORTS ON FORM 8-K.

         20.   General Motors Acceptance Corporation and Subsidiaries
               Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months
               ended March 31, 1998.

   (b)   REPORTS ON FORM 8-K:

         The Company filed a Form 8-K on January 5, 1998 to report the following
         information:

         Through  December 31, 1997, GMAC was organized under Article XII of the
         Banking Law of the State of New York. In response to a request from the
         New York State Banking  Department to Article XII investment  companies
         that they consider  changing their  corporate  status,  GMAC determined
         that it did not have  significant  reasons  to remain  organized  under
         Article  XII.  Accordingly,  GMAC  merged on  January  1, 1998 with its
         wholly-owned  Delaware subsidiary GMAC Financial Services  Corporation.
         The  surviving   corporation,   renamed   General   Motors   Acceptance
         Corporation, is incorporated under the Delaware General Corporation Law
         and has assumed all rights and  obligations of the predecessor New York
         corporation.

ITEM 6.  EXHIBITS AND REPORTS ON FORM 8-K (CONCLUDED)

   (b)   REPORTS ON FORM 8-K (concluded):

         The  Company  filed  a Form  8-K on  January  28,  1998 to  report  the
         following information:

         On January 27, 1998,  Standard & Poor's Ratings Group (S&P), raised the
         credit   ratings  of  the  Company  and  its  parent,   General  Motors
         Corporation (GM).

         The S&P rating of the Company's  senior debt was upgraded from A- to A,
         sixth  highest among ten  investment  grade  ratings  available.  The A
         rating is assigned to bonds considered to have a strong capacity to pay
         interest and repay principal.

         The Company's commercial paper was upgraded from A-2 to A-1, the second
         highest of four ratings, reflecting that the degree of safety regarding
         timely payment is very strong for senior  short-term  debt  obligations
         and  assured  ability  to  access  alternative  sources  of  liquidity.
         Additional  repayment  characteristics  of debt issues  receiving  this
         premium rating include  leading market  position in a well  established
         industry,  high rates of return on funds employed, and broad margins in
         earnings coverage of fixed financial charges.

         The  Company  is  pleased  with the  upgraded  ratings as it expects to
         benefit  from   increased   competitiveness   resulting  from  enhanced
         financial flexibility and lower borrowing costs.


         The Company filed a Form 8-K on April 27, 1998 to report the  following
         information:

         On  April 23, 1998, Moody's Investors Service,  Inc. (Moody's),  raised
         certain  credit  ratings of the Company and its parent,  General Motors
         Corporation (GM).

         The Moody's  rating of  the Company's  senior debt was upgraded from A3
         to A2,  seventh and sixth  highest among ten  investment  grade ratings
         available,  respectively.  The A2  rating  is  assigned  to  the  bonds
         considered to have "upper  medium  grade"  quality as they possess many
         favorable investment attributes with security factors for principal and
         interest considered to be adequate.

         The  Company's short term rating,  which was upgraded to Prime-1 on May
         30, 1995, remains unchanged.

         The  Company  is  pleased  with the  upgraded  ratings as it expects to
         benefit from enhanced financial flexibility and lower borrowing costs.

         The  Company is  presently  not under  review by any of the  nationally
         recognized   statistical   rating  agencies.   Additional   disclosures
         regarding  credit  ratings  are  provided  on  pages  15  and 16 of the
         Company's  Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the year ended  December 31,
         1997,  filed with the Securities  and Exchange  Commission on March 17,
         1998.
