ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS

     On April 12, 1999 General  Motors  Corporation  (GM)  announced that the GM
Board of Directors  approved the complete  separation of Delphi from GM by means
of a tax-free  spin-off.  GM's consolidated  financial  statements for the three
years in  the  period  ended  December  31,  1998 and the  related  Management's
Discussion  and Analysis of Financial  Condition and Results of Operations  have
been restated to reflect  Delphi as  discontinued  operations  and were filed on
April 15, 1999 and April 21, 1999, respectively,  on Current Reports on Form 8-K
dated April 12, 1999.

     Included  as part of this  Form 8-K are the  following  restated  financial
statements on a quarterly basis:  Consolidated Statements of Income for 1998 and
1997;   Consolidated  Balance  Sheets  for  1998;  and  Condensed   Consolidated
Statements of Cash Flows for 1998.

     Also  included is a summary of Net Income  (Loss) by segment  prepared on a
quarterly basis for 1998 and 1997. The  disaggregated  financial results for GMA
have been prepared  using a management  approach,  which is consistent  with the
basis  and  manner in which GM  management  internally  disaggregates  financial
information  for  the  purposes  of  assisting  in  making  internal   operating
decisions.  In this regard, certain common expenses were allocated among regions
less  precisely  than would be required  for  standalone  financial  information
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles (GAAP) and
certain expenses  (primarily certain U.S. taxes related to non-U.S.  operations)
were  included  in the  Automotive,  Electronics  and  Other  Operations'  Other
segment.  The financial  results  represent the historical  information  used by
management for internal decision making purposes; therefore, other data prepared
to represent the way in which the business  will operate in the future,  or data
prepared on a GAAP basis, may be materially different.

     All amounts  included  in  this Form 8-K are in millions except  per  share
amounts.
