INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
----------------------------

General Motors Savings-Stock Purchase Program
for Salaried Employees in the United States:


We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of the General Motors  Savings-Stock  Purchase Program for Salaried Employees in
the United  States (the  "Program")  as of December  31, 1999 and 1998,  and the
related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years
then ended.  These financial  statements are the responsibility of the Program's
management.  Our  responsibility  is to express  an  opinion on these  financial
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the  United  States of  America.  Those  standards  require  that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a
test basis,  evidence  supporting  the amounts and  disclosures in the financial
statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant  estimates  made by  management,  as well as evaluating  the overall
financial  statement  presentation.   We  believe  that  our  audits  provide  a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our  opinion,  such  financial  statements  present  fairly,  in all material
respects,  the net assets  available  for benefits of the Program as of December
31, 1999 and 1998, and the changes in net assets  available for benefits for the
years then ended in conformity with accounting  principles generally accepted in
the United States of America.

Our audits  were  conducted  for the  purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental  schedules of (1) assets
held  for  investment  purposes  as of  December  31,  1999  and (2)  reportable
transactions for the year ended December 31, 1999, are presented for the purpose
of  additional  analysis  and are not a  required  part of the  basic  financial
statements,  but are  supplementary  information  required by the  Department of
Labor's Rules and  Regulations  for Reporting and Disclosure  under the Employee
Retirement  Income Security Act of 1974. These schedules are the  responsibility
of the Program's management.  Such schedules have been subjected to the auditing
procedures  applied in our audit of the basic 1999 financial  statements and, in
our opinion,  are fairly  stated in all material  respects  when  considered  in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                GENERAL MOTORS SAVINGS-STOCK PURCHASE PROGRAM
                 FOR SALARIED EMPLOYEES IN THE UNITED STATES

                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                    YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998

A.  THE PROGRAM

  GENERAL  -  General  Motors   Corporation  (the  "Corporation"  or  "GM")  has
  established  the General Motors  Savings-Stock  Purchase  Program for Salaried
  Employees in the United States (the "Program"),  a defined  contribution plan.
  Eligibility is restricted to regular employees of the Corporation  compensated
  fully or partly by salary and/or commission who are not represented by a labor
  organization (unless they are eligible through  understandings reached between
  the Corporation and their collective  bargaining  representatives).  Employees
  classified as part-time employees,  regular employees,  temporary  assignment,
  flexible  service  employees,  temporary  employees,  and cooperative  student
  employees  hired prior to January 1, 1999 are eligible to  participate  in the
  Program upon the completion of six months of employment.  The Investment Funds
  Committee  of the  Corporation's  Board  of  Directors  acts  as  the  Program
  fiduciary and, along with various officers,  employees,  and committees,  with
  authority  delegated  from the  Program  fiduciary,  controls  and manages the
  operation and  administration  of the Program subject to the provisions of the
  Employee  Retirement  Income  Security Act of 1974,  as amended  (ERISA).  The
  following brief description of the Program is provided for general information
  purposes  only.   Participants  should  refer  to  the  Program  document  and
  prospectus for a complete description of the Program's provisions.

  In November 1998, the net assets of the Saturn  Personal  Choices Savings Plan
  for  Non-Represented  Members (the "Saturn Personal Choices Plan") were merged
  into the Program in order to allow for a common  savings  plan  administrative
  process  for both  Saturn and GM  participants.  Net  assets of  approximately
  $124,956,000  were  transferred into the Program on November 30, 1998 from the
  Saturn Personal Choices Plan.

  CONTRIBUTIONS  - An  eligible  participant  employed  by the  Corporation  (an
  "Employee") may elect to contribute to the Program as follows:

   o  on an after-tax basis (regular savings),  up to 20% of Employee's eligible
      salary as defined in the Program.

   o  on a tax-deferred basis (deferred  savings),  an amount of eligible salary
      which is the lesser of (1) $10,000 for 1999 and 1998,  respectively or (2)
      20% for 1999 and 1998, respectively, of the Employee's eligible salary for
      a calendar year.

   o  in lieu of receiving a  distribution  from The General  Motors  Short-term
      Variable  Pay  Plan for  Salaried  Employees  in the  United  States  (the
      "Short-term  Variable  Pay  Plan"),  an  Employee  may  elect  to have the
      Corporation  contribute,  as  deferred  savings to the extent  permissible
      under tax law, 100% of any such amount, which vests immediately.

   o  in lieu of receiving a flexible compensation payment from the Corporation,
      an  Employee  may  elect to have the  Corporation  contribute  100% of the
      flexible  compensation  payment as deferred savings until the tax deferral
      legal limit is reached and then any remaining portion of such payment will
      be contributed as regular savings to the extent permissible under tax law.

   In addition, an Employee also may elect to combine the first two contribution
   methods disclosed above,  provided that the sum of these  contributions  does
   not total more than 20% of eligible  salary for any calendar year. The sum of
   all four of the  above-described  methods of contribution may only exceed 20%
   of  eligible  salary by an amount  equal to the payout  under the  Short-term
   Variable Pay Plan and/or the flexible compensation payment. As defined in the
   Program document, the Corporation's total matching contribution is limited to
   70% of basic  savings.  Basic  savings as defined by the  Program is Employee
   savings up to 6% of an Employee's eligible salary. The Corporation's matching
   contribution  is invested  entirely in the GM $1-2/3 par value  Common  Stock
   Fund and such  contributions  must  remain  invested  in this fund during the
   period  January  through  December  31,  of the  calendar  year in which  the
   contributions  were  made.  This  period  is  referred  to as  the  "required
   retention period".

                GENERAL MOTORS SAVINGS-STOCK PURCHASE PROGRAM
                 FOR SALARIED EMPLOYEES IN THE UNITED STATES
                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued

   An  Employee  hired on or after  January  1, 1993 will  automatically  have a
   Corporation contribution amount equal to 1% of the Employee's eligible salary
   credited  monthly to such Employee's  account upon attainment of eligibility.
   This  contribution is provided  because such Employee will receive  different
   post-retirement  benefit  treatment from the Corporation than Employees hired
   prior  to  January  1,  1993.  Such  contribution  will  be  credited  to the
   Employee's  account  whether or not the Employee elects to participate in the
   Program.

   VESTING - Assets derived from Employee  contributions and related Corporation
   contributions  and earnings  thereon vest  immediately  on  allocation to the
   employee's account except for employees with less than five years of credited
   service  for whom  Corporation  contributions  and related  earnings  vest on
   January 1 following the calendar year in which such contributions or earnings
   are credited. Forfeitures are used to offset future employer contributions.

   FUND EXCHANGES - Participants may exchange funds between  investment  options
   on any business day. This provision does not apply to Employee  contributions
   and Corporation  contributions  required to be invested in Corporation common
   stock funds  during the required  retention  period.  Employee  contributions
   required  to be  invested  in the  Corporation's  Common  Stock  Funds may be
   exchanged  only  between the  Corporation's  Common  Stock  Funds  during the
   required  retention  period.  Corporation  contributions may not be exchanged
   until completion of the required retention period.

   PARTICIPANT  WITHDRAWALS - A participant  may withdraw funds in their account
   at any  time  after  attaining  age  59-1/2.  Prior to age  59-1/2,  employee
   deferred savings may only be withdrawn  because of termination of employment,
   death,  total and  permanent  disability,  or  financial  hardship.  Prior to
   receiving a withdrawal for financial hardship, a participant  previously must
   have taken all available asset  distributions,  withdrawals,  and loans under
   all applicable plans  maintained by the  Corporation.  The amount that may be
   withdrawn for a financial hardship is limited as defined in the Program.  The
   funds  that  represent  a  financial  hardship  withdrawal  must  conform  to
   conditions   required  by  the  Internal   Revenue  Service  (the  "IRS").  A
   participant  who  receives  a  hardship  distribution  shall  have his or her
   contributions  to the Program  suspended for a period of 12 months  following
   the distribution as required by law.

   INVESTMENT  OPTIONS - The Corporation's  contributions are invested in the GM
   $1-2/3 par value Common Stock Fund.  One-half of an Employee's  Basic Savings
   is required to be invested,  in 10% increments,  in either one or both of the
   Corporation's  Common Stock Funds: (1) GM $1-2/3 par value Common Stock Fund;
   or (2) GM Class H, $0.10 Par Value  Common  Stock Fund.  The  remainder of an
   Employee's contributions will be invested at the Employee's direction, in 10%
   increments, in any of the following investment options:

   o General  Motors $1-2/3 par value Common Stock Fund,
   o General  Motors Class H, $0.10 Par Value Common Stock Fund
   o Promark Funds
   o Mutual Funds

   Certain costs of Program administration are paid by the Corporation.

   DESCRIPTION OF INVESTMENT OPTIONS:

   General  Motors  Common Stock Funds:  $1-2/3 Par Value and Class H, $0.10 Par
   Value - Under these  investment  options,  contributions  are invested by the
   Trustee  primarily in the respective  General Motors common stock.  Each unit
   represents a proportionate interest in all of the assets of the respective GM
   Common  Stock  Funds.  The  number of units  credited  to each  participant's
   account  within an  applicable  plan will be  determined by the amount of the
   participant's  contributions  and  the  purchase  price  of  a  unit  in  the
   respective GM Common Stock Fund. The value of each  participant's  account is

   participant's  investment is based on the value of units,  which, in turn, is
   determined by the market price of the respective GM common stock,  the amount
   of  any  dividends  paid  thereon,  and  by  interest  earned  on  short-term
   investments held by each fund.

   Each  participant  directs  the  Trustee  how to  vote  common  stock  shares
   allocated to his or her account. The Trustee will exercise voting rights with
   respect to those  shares for which  direction  has not been  received  by the
   required deadline.

   Promark Funds - On January 11, 1999,  the names of the Equity Index Fund, the
   Income  Fund,  and the Balanced  Fund were  changed to the Promark  Large Cap
   Index  Fund,  the  Promark  Income  Fund,  and  the  Promark  Balanced  Fund,
   respectively,  and sixteen Promark funds were added as investment options for
   participants  in the  Program.  These  funds  have a  variety  of  investment
   strategies, and the funds are managed by General Motors Investment Management
   Corporation  (GMIMCo),  a wholly-owned  subsidiary of General  Motors,  and a
   party-in-interest.  GMIMCo selects and monitors  investment advisors for each
   fund.  Participants  should refer to the Prospectus  for further  information
   about the  investment  strategy of each fund, and the risks  associated  with
   each fund.

   The Promark Income Fund invests in investment  contracts  issued by insurance
   companies.  The issuing companies have agreed to provide this fund with a net
   fixed  or  floating  contract  interest  rate  that  is to be  earned  over a
   specified  period and payment of  principal  and  interest  upon  participant
   initiated  withdrawals  and/or  transfers of assets.  The Promark Income Fund
   also invests in a short-term fixed income fund (the "Fixed Income Fund") made
   up of U.S. Government debt obligations and cash.

   Assets  invested in the Promark  funds are  expressed in terms of units.  The
   number of units credited to a participant's account within an applicable plan
   will be  determined  by the  amount of  participant's  contributions  and the
   current value of each unit in the respective  Promark fund. The value of each
   participant's  account is determined each business day by the number of units
   to the participant's credit, multiplied by the current unit value.

   Mutual Funds - This investment  option is comprised of many different  mutual
   funds  managed by  Fidelity  Investments.  Each  mutual  fund has a different
   objective and investment  strategy.  To pursue their  objectives,  the mutual
   fund managers invest in a wide variety of investments.  Complete  information
   about each mutual  fund's  objectives  and  investments  is contained in that
   fund's prospectus.

   Other Investments:

   EDS Common Stock Fund - Effective  June 7, 1996, the net assets of Electronic
   Data Systems  ("EDS") were split-off from the net assets of the  Corporation.
   As a result,  the Class E Common  Stock  Fund was  changed  to the EDS Common
   Stock  Fund.  Also,  effective  June  7,  1996,  no new  contributions,  loan
   repayments,  or  exchanges  may be made  into  the  EDS  Common  Stock  Fund.
   Dividends, if any, paid on EDS common stock held by the Plan will be invested
   in an Income Fund  investment  option.  This fund will be  eliminated in five
   years from the effective date of the split-off.

   Assets  held in this fund are  expressed  in terms of units and not shares of
   stock. Each unit represents a proportionate  interest in all of the assets of
   this  fund.  The  value of each  participant's  account  is  determined  each
   business day by the number of units to the participant's  credit,  multiplied
   by the current unit value. The return on a participant's  investment is based
   on the value of units,  which,  in turn, is determined by the market price of
   EDS common stock and by the interest earned on short-term investments held by
   the fund.

   Delphi  Common  Stock Fund - On May 28, 1999,  GM  completed  the spin-off of
   Delphi Automotive Systems (Delphi). In connection with that spin-off,  Delphi
   common stock was  distributed to holders of GM $1-2/3 par value common stock.
   Such distribution required the addition of the Delphi Common Stock Fund as an
   investment option.  Program  participants  holding units in the GM $1-2/3 par
   value Common Stock Fund were allocated  approximately .70 units in the Delphi
   Common  Stock Fund for each unit held in the GM $1-2/3 par value Common Stock
   Fund. Such distribution was recorded as a stock dividend, in which a total of
   $887  million  of Delphi  common  stock was  distributed  to GM $1-2/3 par
   value common stockholders.

   The Delphi Common Stock Fund will remain as an investment option; however, no
   further  contributions or exchanges from any other investment option into the
   Delphi Common Stock Fund will be permitted during that time.

   Assets  held in this fund are  expressed  in terms of units and not shares of
   stock. Each unit represents a proportionate  interest in all of the assets of
   this  fund.  The  value of each  participant's  account  is  determined  each
   business day by the number of units to the participant's  credit,  multiplied
   by the current unit value. The return on a participant's  investment is based
   on the value of units,  which,  in turn, is determined by the market price of
   Delphi common stock and by the interest earned on short-term investments held
   by the fund.

   Raytheon Class A Common Stock Fund - Effective December 17, 1997, GM spun-off
   the defense  electronics  business  of Hughes  Electronics,  a GM  subsidiary
   (Hughes Defense), to holders of GM $1-2/3 par value and Class H common stock,
   which was immediately  followed by the merger of Hughes Defense with Raytheon
   Company.  In connection with the above  transaction,  Raytheon Class A common
   stock was  distributed  to  holders of GM $1-2/3 par value and Class H common
   stocks.

                 FOR SALARIED EMPLOYEES IN THE UNITED STATES
                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued

   Such distribution  required the addition of the Raytheon Class A Common Stock
   Fund as an  investment  option.  The Raytheon  Class A Common Stock Fund will
   remain as an investment option through December 31, 2002; however, no further
   contributions  or  exchanges  from  any  other  investment  options  into the
   Raytheon  Class A Common  Stock  Fund will be  permitted  during  that  time.
   Dividends,  if any, paid on Raytheon Class A common stock held by the Program
   will be invested in an Income Fund  investment  option prior to allocation to
   participant's accounts.

   Assets  held in this fund are  expressed  in terms of units and not shares of
   stock. Each unit represents a proportionate  interest in all of the assets of
   this  fund.  The  value of each  participant's  account  is  determined  each
   business day by the number of units to the participant's  credit,  multiplied
   by the current unit value. The return on a participant's  investment is based
   on the value of units,  which,  in turn, is determined by the market price of
   Raytheon  Class A common  stock  and by the  interest  earned  on  short-term
   investments held by the fund.

   PARTICIPANT  LOANS -  Participants  may borrow  once per year from both their
   tax-deferred   and   after-tax   savings   assets   (excluding    Corporation
   contributions,  and  earnings  thereon  subject  to  the  required  retention
   period). The amount and terms of the loans are limited under the Program. The
   loan interest rate will be  established  once each quarter at a rate equal to
   the prevailing  prime lending rate as of the previous  quarter and will apply
   to all new  loans  issued.  Repayment  of loans  is  generally  made  through
   after-tax  payroll  deductions  and are  invested  in the same  discretionary
   investment   options  that  the   Participant   selected  for  their  savings
   contributions.  Interest  paid on the loans is credited back to the borrowing
   employee's  account in the Program.  Partial and total prepayment of loans is
   permitted at any time, without penalty. Loans not repaid within the loan term
   are deemed to be distributions from participants' accounts.

B.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   The  significant  accounting  policies  followed  in the  preparation  of the
   accompanying financial statements are as follows:

   o  The  financial  statements  of the Program are prepared  under  accounting
      principles  generally  accepted in the United  States of America using the
      accrual method of accounting.

   o  Investments  are stated at fair value,  except for  investment  contracts,
      which are  stated  at  contract  value.  Fair  values  are  calculated  by
      reference to  published  market  quotations,  where  available;  where not
      available for certain common & collective trusts, various bases, including
      cost,  are used in  determining  estimates of fair values.  Contract value
      represents  contributions  made  under  the  investment  contracts,   plus
      interest,  less  withdrawals and  administrative  expenses  charged by the
      issuer of the contract.

   o Security transactions are recorded on the trade date.

   o  Investment  income  is  recognized  as  earned  based on the  terms of the
      investments  and the periods during which the investments are owned by the
      Program.

   The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
   accounting  principles  requires management to make estimates and assumptions
   that  affect  amounts  reported  therein.  Due  to the  inherent  uncertainty
   involved in making  estimates,  actual results reported in future periods may
   differ from those estimates.

   *  Both participant-directed and nonparticipant-directed

   The average  yield on investment  contracts for the years ended  December 31,
   1999 and 1998 was 6.1% and 6.3%,  respectively.  The fair value of investment
   contracts  exceeded  contract  value by  approximately  $89  million and $118
   million at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

D.  THE MASTER TRUST

   The  Corporation  established  the General  Motors Savings Plans Master Trust
   (the "Master Trust")  pursuant to a trust  agreement  among the  Corporation,
   Saturn Corporation, and State Street Bank and Trust, as trustee of the funds,
   in order to  permit  the  commingling  of trust  assets of  several  employee
   benefit plans for investment and administrative  purposes.  The assets of the
   Master Trust are held by State Street Bank and Trust.

   Employee  benefit plans  participating in the Master Trust as of December 31,
   1999 include the following:

   o  General Motors Savings-Stock Purchase Program for Salaried Employees in
      the United States
   o  General Motors Personal Savings Plan for Hourly-Rate Employees in the
      United States
   o  Saturn Individual Savings Plan for Represented Members

   Each participating employee benefit plan has an undivided interest in the net
   assets and changes therein of each of the master trust investment funds.

   The net  investment  income of each of the Master Trust  investment  funds is
   allocated  by the  trustee to each  participating  plan based on that  plan's
   interest in each Master Trust  investment  fund,  as compared  with the total
   interest of all the participating plans, in each Master Trust investment fund
   at the beginning of the month.

   As of December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Program had approximately a 70% and 73%
   interest in the Master Trust, respectively.

   The net assets  available  for  benefits  of all  participating  plans in the
   commingled  accounts of the Master  Trust at  December  31, 1999 and 1998 are
   summarized as follows (dollars in thousands):

E.  TRANSFER TO DELPHI

   On April 12, 1999, the GM Board of Directors approved the complete separation
   of Delphi by means of a spin-off,  which was completed on May 28, 1999. Prior
   to the spin-off,  GM established the Delphi  Savings-Stock  Purchase  Program
   (the "Delphi Program"), modeled after the GM Program. On May 28, 1999, assets
   representing  Delphi  participants'  holdings in the Program were transferred
   and  reinvested  under the  corresponding  investment  options  in the Delphi
   Program. The total amount transferred to the Delphi Program was $2.4 billion.
   As a result of the  separation,  the Delphi Program was separated from the GM
   Program, and is now administered by Delphi as a separate plan.

F.  TERMINATION OF THE PLAN

   Although it has not  expressed any intent to do so, the  Corporation  has the
   right to  terminate  the Program  subject to the  provisions  of ERISA.  Such
   termination of the Program, if any, would not affect a participant's interest
   in assets already in the Program.

G.  FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

   In April 2000,  the Program was  determined by the IRS to be a  tax-qualified
   employee benefit plan,  meeting the requirements of Sections 401(a),  401(k),
   and  4975(e)(7)of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"),
   and the Trust established  thereunder was determined to be exempt from United
   States  Federal  income taxes under Section 501(a) of the Code. The Program's
   fiduciary and tax counsel  believe that the Program is designed and currently
   being operated in compliance  with the applicable  requirements  of the Code,
   and  therefore  no  provision  for  income  taxes  has been  included  in the
   Program's financial statements.

H.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

   Effective  April  1,  2000,  the  Corporation's   matching  contribution  was
   increased  from 70% to 80% of basic savings.  Also  effective  April 1, 2000,
   three new  investment  funds were  added to the  Program,  the Domini  Social
   Equity Fund, the Neuberger  Berman Socially  Responsive Fund, and the Promark
   Social Equity Fund.
