</TABLE>
For the  quarter,  net income from  automotive  and other  financing  operations
totaled $272.4 million, down $14.1 million from the $286.5 million earned in the
third  quarter of last year.  Higher  asset  levels were more than offset by the
negative  impact stemming from the higher level of market interest rates and the
corresponding increased cost of funds over the past year.

Insurance  operations generated net income of $50.3 million in the third quarter
of 2000,  down 8.2% from the $54.8 million  earned in the third quarter of 1999.
Third  quarter  earnings  were down  year-over-year  reflecting  lower  realized
capital gains in the quarter.

Mortgage  operations  earned $78.3  million in the third quarter of 2000, up 54%
from the $51.0 million earned for the same period last year. Mortgage operations
increased  quarter-over-quarter primarily as a result of an increase in mortgage
servicing  and  processing  fees  due to  significant  growth  in the  servicing
portfolio  over the last twelve months and to the  revaluation  to fair value of
mortgage  servicing rights and retained  interests in securities.  Additionally,
investment income increased due to an increase in the  international  investment
portfolio.

UNITED STATES NEW PASSENGER CAR AND TRUCK DELIVERIES

U.S. deliveries of new General Motors (GM) vehicles during the first nine months
of 2000 were  unchanged  compared to the first nine months of 1999. The decrease
in financing  penetration  in the third quarter of 2000 was primarily the result
of    reduced    leasing     incentives.

</TABLE>


The number of new vehicles financed in the U.S. during the third quarter of 2000
was lower  than the  comparable  period in 1999,  primarily  due to a decline in
operating  lease  units  in  the  U.S.  which  resulted  from a  decrease  in GM
incentives on this product line during the third quarter of 2000.

GMAC also provides  wholesale  financing for GM and other  dealers' new and used
vehicle inventories.  In the United States, inventory financing was provided for
826,000 and  2,696,000  new GM vehicles  during the third quarter and first nine
months  of 2000,  respectively,  compared  with  852,000  and  2,580,000  new GM
vehicles  during the  respective  periods in 1999.  GMAC's  wholesale  financing
represented  70.3% of all GM vehicle sales to U.S. dealers during the first nine
months of 2000, up from 66.9% for the comparable period a year ago. The increase
in wholesale  penetration  levels was attributable to marketing  initiatives and
competitive pricing strategies offered by the Company.

INCOME AND EXPENSES

Financing  revenue totaled $3,906.7  million and $11,514.0  million in the third
quarter  and first  nine  months of 2000,  respectively,  compared  to  $3,480.0
million and $10,118.3 million for the comparable periods in 1999. The growth was
mainly due to higher average retail and other loan  receivable  balances,  which
resulted  primarily  from  strong GM sales  levels  and  continued  GM-sponsored
special financing programs.  Financing revenue also increased due to an increase
in asset earning rates compared to the same periods in 1999.

The Company's worldwide cost of borrowing, including the effects of derivatives,
for the third  quarter and first nine months of 2000  averaged  6.71% and 6.43%,
respectively,  compared to 5.62% and 5.55% for the same  periods in 1999.  Total
borrowing  costs  for U.S.  operations  averaged  6.84%  and 6.57% for the third
quarter and first nine months of 2000, respectively, compared to 5.61% and 5.50%
for the third quarter and first nine months of 1999, respectively.  The increase
in average  borrowing  costs was mainly a result of the  continued  increase  in
market interest rates beginning in the third quarter of 1999.

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

INCOME AND EXPENSES (concluded)

Other income totaled  $500.1 million and $1,298.9  million for the third quarter
and nine months  ended  September  30,  2000,  respectively,  compared to $339.5
million and $790.0 million during the comparable  1999 periods.  The change from
the comparable periods in 1999 was mainly  attributable to increases in interest
and servicing fees earned on  receivables  due from GM and the inclusion of GMAC
Commercial Credit LLC, which was acquired in July 1999,  resulting in only three
months  of  income  in 1999.  Additionally,  other  income  related  to sales of
receivables  increased  mainly due to the increase in service  fees  received on
secured  notes and an increase in other income  related to the sale of wholesale
finance receivables.

Consolidated  salaries and other operating expenses totaled $1,471.1 million and
$4,071.6  million  for  the  third  quarter  and  first  nine  months  of  2000,
respectively,  compared  to  $1,198.5  million  and  $3,326.7  million  for  the
comparable periods last year. The increase was mainly  attributable to continued
growth and  acquisitions at GMAC and GMACMG during the last two quarters of 1999
and during the first three quarters of 2000.  Additionally,  these  acquisitions
contributed to a rise in goodwill amortization.

The provision for credit  losses,  most of which relates to retail  receivables,
totaled  $135.3  million and $373.0 million for the third quarter and first nine
months of 2000,  respectively,  compared to $97.8 million and $327.5 million for
the comparable  periods last year. The increases were due to higher  outstanding
finance receivables compared to the same periods in 1999.  Annualized net retail
losses were 0.60% and 0.58% of total  average  serviced  automotive  receivables
during the third quarter and first nine months of 2000,  respectively,  compared
to 0.50% and 0.57% for the same periods last year.

The  effective  income  tax rate for the first  nine  months of 2000 was  37.4%,
compared  to 38.6%  and  39.3%  for the  periods  ended  December  31,  1999 and
September 30, 1999,  respectively.  The decline in the effective tax rate can be
attributed  to  decreases  in  accruals  from prior  years  based upon  periodic
assessment of the adequacy of such accruals  primarily  for tax  liabilities  of
non-U.S. operations.

INSURANCE OPERATIONS

Net premiums  earned by GMACI and its  subsidiaries  totaled  $486.2 million and
$1,414.3 million for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2000,
respectively,  compared  to $449.7  million  and  $1,338.5  million for the same
periods during 1999.  This increase was primarily a result of higher policies in
force and higher  average  premiums for the  mechanical  repair  protection  and
personal auto lines, partially offset by a loss of premiums due to the July 1999
termination of a commercial auto dealership program.

Pre-tax  capital gains and  investment  and other income at GMACI totaled $135.3
million and $440.6  million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2000,
compared to $143.9  million and $432.9 million for the same periods in 1999. The
decrease from  quarter-to-quarter was a result of lower capital gains, partially
offset by higher  investment income and higher service fee income related to the
mechanical repair protection line of business.  On a year-to-year  basis, higher
investment  income and service fee income exceeded the decline in capital gains.
Period to period  fluctuations in realized  capital gains are largely due to the
timing of sales of marketable securities.

INSURANCE OPERATIONS (concluded)

Insurance  losses  and loss  adjustment  expenses  totaled  $392.0  million  and
$1,122.1 million during the third quarter and nine months of 2000, respectively,
compared to $358.8 and $1,044.1 million for the comparable  periods in 1999. The
quarter-to-quarter increase in 2000 was primarily due to higher loss severity in
the  mechanical  repair  protection  line while loss severity and frequency were
higher for personal auto. On a year-to-year basis,  mechanical repair protection
loss  severity  was also up,  in  addition  to  higher  storm-related  losses in
personal auto,  commercial auto and property and casualty  reinsurance  lines of
business.

Net income was $50.3  million and $169.9  million for the third quarter and nine
months ended  September  30, 2000,  respectively,  compared to $54.8 million and
$169.9  million for the same periods in 1999.  Third quarter  earnings were down
year-over-year reflecting lower realized capital gains.

MORTGAGE OPERATIONS

Mortgage  revenue totaled  $1,038.6  million and $2,775.4  million for the third
quarter and first nine months of 2000, respectively,  compared to $789.2 million
and $2,247.7  million for the comparable  periods in 1999. The growth in revenue
can be attributed to increases in mortgage  servicing  and  processing  fees and
other income. In addition,  there were significant  portfolio  acquisitions made
during 2000, as well as continued growth in investment revenues.

During the third quarter and first nine months of 2000, GMACMG loan origination,
production  and  correspondent  loan  volume  totaled  $18.5  billion  and $49.1
billion, respectively,  compared to $20.9 billion and $60.0 billion for the same
periods in 1999. The decline can be attributed to volume reduction and increased
inventory  due to interest  rate  fluctuations.  The combined  GMACMG  servicing
portfolio,  excluding  GMAC term loans to  dealers,  totaled  $313.0  billion at
September 30, 2000,  compared with $292.2 billion serviced at December 31, 1999.
The increase was the result of significant servicing portfolio acquisitions made
during 2000.

Net income was $78.3  million and $211.0  million for the third quarter and nine
months ended  September  30, 2000,  respectively,  compared to $51.0 million and
$215.2  million  for the same  periods in 1999.  Mortgage  operations  increased
quarter-over-quarter  primarily as a result of an increase in mortgage servicing
and processing  fees due to significant  growth in the servicing  portfolio over
the  last  twelve  months  and to the  revaluation  to fair  value  of  mortgage
servicing rights and retained interests in securities. Additionally,  investment
income increased due to an increase in the international investment portfolio.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

At  September  30,  2000,  the  Company  owned  assets and  serviced  automotive
receivables totaling $174.9 billion,  $12.6 billion above December 31, 1999. The
increase over year-end 1999 was principally the result of higher serviced retail
receivables,  commercial and other loan receivables,  other assets,  receivables
with GM,  mortgage  loans held for  investment,  mortgage  lending  receivables,
mortgage servicing rights and factored receivables.

Finance receivables serviced by the Company, including sold receivables, totaled
$104.9  billion at September  30, 2000,  $7.9  billion  above  December 31, 1999
levels.  This  increase  was  primarily a result of a $4.7  billion  increase in
serviced retail  receivables and a $4.2 billion increase in commercial and other
loan receivables. Continued GM-sponsored retail financing incentives contributed
to the rise in serviced retail  receivables.  The change in commercial and other
loan  receivables  was primarily  attributable  to increases in secured notes as
well as continued growth at Commercial Credit LLC and GMAC Business Credit.

         FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY (continued)

Other assets at September  30, 2000 totaled  $11.6  billion,  compared with $9.6
billion at December 31, 1999.  The increase over year-end 1999 was partially the
result of GMAC and GM entering into a lease arrangement during the first quarter
of 2000. Under this transaction, GM transferred to GMAC three properties located
in Michigan totaling $479.1 million,  representing an equity contribution.  Also
contributing  to this  increase,  other  mortgage  related  assets  totaled $3.3
billion at September  30,  2000,  compared to $2.2 billion at December 31, 1999.
The increase in other  mortgage  related  assets was primarily due to the GMACMG
acquisition of Nippon Asset Management,  a Japanese real estate holding company,
during the second quarter of 2000. In addition, GMACMG increased activity in its
Purchased Model Homes program,  which is the financing of builder's model homes,
in the first quarter of 2000.

Receivables  due from GM amounted to $4.8 billion at September 30, 2000 compared
with $4.0 billion at December 31, 1999.  The source of the growth over  year-end
is  primarily  attributable  to an  increase of $0.7  billion  related to a $2.0
billion  revolving  line of credit that GM has available with GMAC. In addition,
there  were  additional  loans  from GMAC of  Canada,  Limited,  a  wholly-owned
subsidiary, to GM of Canada (GMCL), a wholly-owned subsidiary of GM. The loans
are used to fund GMCL's vehicle leasing program.

Mortgage lending  receivables  amounted to $2,175.2 million and $1,800.6 million
at September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively.  The increase relates
to the continued increase in construction and warehouse lending activity in 2000
compared to 1999.

The mortgage loans held for investment amounted to $1,892.5 million at September
30, 2000  compared to $1,497.4  million at December  31,  1999.  The increase is
partially  attributable to portfolio acquisitions that occurred during the third
quarter of 2000. Additionally, non-performing assets were reclassified from held
for sale to held for  investment to more  accurately  reflect the nature of this
asset.

Mortgage  servicing  rights  amounted to $3,754.7  million at September 30, 2000
compared to $3,421.8  million at December 31, 1999.  The increase is primarily a
result of significant  portfolio  acquisitions made during the third quarter and
first nine months of 2000.

Factored  receivables  totaled  $1,069.0 million and $764.9 million at September
30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively.  This growth relates to Commercial
Credit LLC's acquisition of the assets of Finova Capital  Corporation during the
third quarter of 2000.

The  Company's  due and deferred from  receivable  sales (net) totaled  $1,022.0
million at September  30,  2000,  compared  with $742.2  million at December 31,
1999.  The increase over year-end was mainly due to an increase in cash deposits
held for trusts  related to two sales of wholesale  receivables  and one sale of
retail  receivables  that occurred during the second and third quarters of 2000,
partially  offset  by the  elimination  of cash  deposits  held  for  trusts  in
conjunction with the buyback of three retail receivables sales and the wind down
of one wholesale receivables sale during the first nine months of 2000.

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

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY (concluded)

As of September 30, 2000, GMAC's total borrowings were $127.7 billion,  compared
with  $121.2  billion at December  31,  1999.  The  increased  borrowings  since
December  31,1999  were used to fund  increased  asset  levels.  GMAC's ratio of
consolidated debt to total stockholder's equity at September 30, 2000 was 9.4:1,
compared  to 10.9:1  at  December  31,  1999.  The  decline  was due to  capital
contributions from GM totaling $1,479.1 million during the first quarter of 2000
and an increase of $1,193.4 million in retained  earnings from  consolidated net
income for the first nine months of 2000.

The Company  maintains  substantial  bank lines of credit,  which  totaled $47.4
billion at September 30, 2000,  compared to $46.2 billion at year-end  1999. The
unused portion of these credit lines increased by $2.5 billion from December 31,
1999 to $38.1 billion at September 30, 2000. Included in the unused credit lines
at September  30, 2000,  is a $14.7  billion  syndicated  multi-currency  global
credit  facility  available  for use in the U.S.  by GMAC and in  Europe by GMAC
International  Finance  B.V.  and GMAC (UK) plc.  The  entire  $14.7  billion is
available  to GMAC in the U.S.,  $0.9  billion is available to GMAC (UK) plc and
$0.8  billion is  available to GMAC  International  Finance B.V. The  syndicated
credit  facility  serves  primarily  as  back  up for  the  Company's  unsecured
commercial  paper programs.  Also included in the unused credit lines is a $12.3
billion U.S.  asset-backed  commercial paper liquidity and receivables  facility
for New Center Asset Trust ("NCAT"), a non-consolidated limited purpose business
trust established to issue asset-backed commercial paper.

In June 1999, GMAC modified its existing syndicated  revolving credit facilities
to  combine  the U.S.  and  certain  European  facilities  into  one  syndicated
multi-currency  global  facility.  Modified  terms  consisted  of five  years on
one-half of the facility, with a 364-day term (including a provision that allows
GMAC to draw down a one year term loan on the termination date) on the remaining
facility.  The 364-day  portion of the facility was renewed for another  364-day
period in June 2000, including the provision that allows GMAC to draw down a one
year term loan on the termination  date. The remainder of the facility which had
an original  term of five years expires in June 2004.  Additionally,  there is a
leverage   covenant   restricting  the  ratio  of  consolidated  debt  to  total
stockholder's equity to no greater than 11.0:1. This covenant is only applicable
under certain conditions. Those conditions are not in effect now and were not in
effect during the quarter ended September 30, 2000.

As  discussed  in the  Company's  1999 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 $77.6  billion at  December  31,  1999 to $95.5
billion at  September  30,  2000.  The change is  partially  attributable  to an
increase in financial instruments associated with GMACs increased debt levels.

ACQUISITIONS AND MERGERS

On August 28, 2000  Commercial  Credit LLC acquired the assets of Finova Capital
Corporation.  The acquired  factoring business provides a wide array of accounts
receivable management services and financial products to traditional  industries
(i.e.  apparel,  textiles and home furnishings) and  non-traditional  industries
(i.e. services, food, electronics and computers).

Additionally,  GMAC continued its growth through the acquisition of a variety of
operations during the year, none of which were individually significant.

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

EURO CONVERSION

On January 1, 1999,  eleven of fifteen member countries of the European Monetary
Union established  fixed conversion rates between their existing  currencies and
adopted  the euro as their new  common  currency.  The euro  trades on  currency
exchanges  and the legacy  currencies  remain legal tender in the  participating
countries for a transition period until January 1, 2002. Beginning on January 1,
2002, euro denominated bills and coins will be issued and legacy currencies will
be withdrawn from circulation.

The Company has established  plans to assess and address the potential impact to
GMAC that may result from the euro conversion. These issues include, but are not
limited  to:  1) the  technical  challenges  to  adapt  information  systems  to
accommodate euro  transactions;  2) the competitive impact of cross-border price
transparency;  3) the impact on currency  exchange rate risks;  4) the impact on
existing contracts; and 5) tax and accounting implications.  The Company expects
that  the  euro  conversion  will  not have a  material  adverse  impact  on its
financial condition or results of operations.

ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In  June  1998,  the  FASB  issued  SFAS  No.  133,  Accounting  for  Derivative
Instruments and Hedging  Activities,  effective for fiscal years beginning after
June 15, 1999.  During the second quarter of 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137,
Accounting for Derivative  Instruments  and Hedging  Activities-Deferral  of the
Effective  Date of FASB Statement No. 133,  which delayed  implementation  until
fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2000. The new standard requires that
all companies record  derivatives on the balance sheet as assets or liabilities,
measured at fair value.  Gains or losses resulting from changes in the values of
those  derivatives would be accounted for depending on the use of the derivative
and whether it qualifies  for hedge  accounting.  In June 2000,  the FASB issued
SFAS No. 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative  Instruments and Certain Hedging
Activities - an Amendment  of FASB  Statement  No. 133.  This  statement  amends
issues in SFAS 133 to ease implementation difficulties. The Company is currently
in the  process  of  implementing  systems  to perform  the  accounting  for its
derivative instruments under the new standards. System testing and completion is
expected  to take  place  in the  fourth  quarter  of  2000.  Until  the  system
implementation  is complete,  management  is unable to  reasonably  estimate the
impact of adopting SFAS 133. The Company will adopt this accounting  standard on
January 1, 2001, as required.

In September  2000,  the FASB issued SFAS No. 140,  Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing  of  Financial  Assets  and  Extinguishments  of  Liabilities,   which
supersedes  SFAS No. 125,  Accounting  for  Transfers and Servicing of Financial
Assets  and  Extinguishments  of  Liabilities.  SFAS No.  140 is  effective  for
transfers  occurring  after March 31,  2001,  with its  disclosure  requirements
relating to  securitization  transactions  and  collateral  effective for fiscal
years ending after  December 15, 2000.  Management  is currently  assessing  the
impact of SFAS No. 140 on the financial statements of the Company.
