GM intends to take advantage of the extension of the time required to file its 2008 10-K, which the SEC rules allow by filing Form 12b-25. This provides GM with up to 15 additional days in which to file its 2008 10-K, without being considered "late" by the SEC. The company believes this is a prudent step to take at this critical time as it allows more time for thorough review of the extensive financial and other disclosures regarding the events that occurred at year-end 2008 and during early 2009. Additionally, as a result of the bond exchange, GM's 2008 10-K will contain information regarding executive compensation, which would not normally be disclosed until the proxy statement is issued for GM's annual stockholder meeting.
Finally, GM anticipates receiving a "going concern" opinion from its auditors in the 2008 10-K. GM and its auditors must determine whether there is substantial doubt about GM's ability to continue as a going concern. GM's Viability Plan filed with the UST on

Forward-Looking Statements
In this press release and in related comments by our management, our use of the words "expect," "anticipate," "ensure," "promote," "target," "believe," "improve," "intend," "enable," "continue," "will," "may," "would," "could," "should," "project," "projected," "positioned" or similar expressions is intended to identify forward-looking statements that represent our current judgment about possible future events. We believe these judgments are reasonable, but these statements are not guarantees of any events or financial results, and our actual results may differ materially due to a variety of important factors. Among other items, such factors might include: our ability to comply with the requirements of our credit agreement with the U.S. Treasury; the availability of funding for future loans under that credit agreement; our ability to execute the restructuring plans that we have disclosed, our ability to maintain adequate liquidity and financing sources and an appropriate level of debt; and changes in general economic conditions, market acceptance of our products; shortages of and price volatility for fuel; significant changes in the competitive environment and the effect of competition on our markets, including on our pricing policies, financing sources and an appropriate level of debt; and changes in general economic conditions.
General Motors Corporation
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release, the accompanying tables and the charts for securities analysts include the following financial measures, which are not prepared in accordance with Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in
Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding GM's operating results because they exclude amounts that GM management does not consider part of operating results when assessing and measuring the operational and financial performance of the organization. In addition, GM has historically reported similar non-GAAP financial measures and believes that inclusion of these non-GAAP financial measures provides consistency and comparability with past earnings releases. GM management believes these measures allow it to readily view operating trends, perform analytical comparisons, benchmark performance among geographic regions and assess whether the GM North American structural cost turnaround plan is on target. Also, GM management uses adjusted net income and adjusted earnings before tax for forecasting purposes and in determining future capital investment allocations. Accordingly, GM believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency of supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making.
While GM believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information, there are limitations associated with the use of these non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, do not reflect a comprehensive system of accounting and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences in the method of calculation between companies. Costs such as the special attrition programs and restructuring charges that are excluded from GM's non-GAAP financial measures can have a material effect on net earnings. As a result, these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, net earnings, cash flow from operations, or other measures of performance or liquidity prepared in accordance with GAAP. GM compensates for these limitations by using these non-GAAP financial measures as supplements to GAAP financial measures and by providing the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP financial measures. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP financial measures that are included elsewhere in this press release.
Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Before Tax
Adjusted net income excludes charges for certain tax related items, gains and losses on the sale of business units and business interests, charges associated with accounting changes, restructuring, plant closure and impairment charges, charges associated with Delphi Corporation (Delphi), special attrition program charges, and other gains and losses which management excludes when assessing the internal performance of the organization.
Adjusted earnings before tax begins with adjusted net income and is adjusted to remove any remaining tax expense or benefit.
General Motors Corporation
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Continued)
Managerial Cash Flow
GM reports non-GAAP managerial automotive operating cash flow in its earnings releases and charts for securities analysts. Management believes that providing managerial automotive operating cash flow furnishes it and investors with useful information by representing the cash flow generated or consumed by its automotive operations, including cash consumed by automotive capital expenditures and equity investments in companies related to GM's core business and cash generated by sales of automotive operating assets and equity investments in companies related to GM's core business, before funding non-operating-related obligations including debt maturities, dividends and other non-operating items. Management uses this non-GAAP financial measure to assess its automotive cash flow when evaluating the performance of GM, its business units and its management teams and when making decisions to allocate resources among GM's business units.

Concurrently, GM evaluated the remaining economic benefit related to the unamortized prior service cost remaining from prior labor contracts and determined the future economic benefit for those amounts that remained at the end of the third quarter of 2007 did not extend beyond the third quarter.
