Outlook
GMAC is fully engaged in extending credit to consumers and businesses. The company continues to lend to auto dealers, has expanded credit to automotive retail customers, and recently re-entered the prime jumbo mortgage market. GMAC has leveraged its position as a bank holding company and receipt of the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) investment to continue lending activities.
GMAC's commitment to the U.S. auto industry, in particular, has been reinforced by the agreement to provide automotive financing products and services to Chrysler dealers and customers. This new business is expected to begin as soon as practicable and no later than mid-May.
Looking ahead, the economic environment remains challenged -- market-based funding remains scarce, economic conditions are soft and credit quality continues to deteriorate. GMAC remains committed to working through these challenges by implementing its five core strategies:
-- Transition to and meet all bank holding company requirements
-- Strengthen liquidity and capital position
-- Build a world-class organization
-- Expand and diversify customer-focused revenue opportunities, with
available funding driving originations
-- Drive returns by repositioning risk profile and maximizing efficiencies

While these statements represent our current judgment on what the future may hold, and we believe these judgments are reasonable, these statements are not guarantees of any events or financial results, and GMAC's and Residential Capital, LLC's ("ResCap") actual results may differ materially due to numerous important factors that are described in the most recent reports on SEC Forms 10-K and 10-Q for GMAC and ResCap, each of which may be revised or supplemented in subsequent reports on SEC Forms 10-Q and 8-K. Such factors include, among others, the following: the inability or unwillingness of the U.S. government to provide the additional liquidity and capital necessary for us to finance Chrysler LLC ("Chrysler") dealers and customers, and uncertainty around the ultimate form, amount and terms of such capital; our inability to successfully accommodate the additional risk exposure relating to providing wholesale and retail financing to Chrysler dealers and customers and the resulting impact to our financial stability; uncertainty related to Chrysler's bankruptcy process and its proposed industrial alliance with Fiat SpA; the success or lack thereof of Chrysler's bankruptcy process and its proposed industrial alliance with Fiat SpA; our ability to recover any payments or obligations owed to us by Chrysler during Chrysler's bankruptcy process; uncertainty related to the new financing arrangement between GMAC and Chrysler; securing low cost funding for GMAC and ResCap and maintaining the mutually beneficial relationship between GMAC, General Motors Corporation ("GM") and Chrysler; our ability to maintain an appropriate level of debt; the profitability and financial condition of GM and Chrysler; our ability to realize the anticipated benefits associated with our recent conversion to a bank holding company, and the increased regulation and restrictions that we will be subject to; uncertainty concerning our ability to access additional federal liquidity programs; continued challenges in the residential mortgage and capital markets; continued deterioration in the residual value of off-lease vehicles; the continuing negative impact on ResCap of the decline in the U.S. housing market; changes in U.S. government-sponsored mortgage programs or disruptions in the markets in which our mortgage subsidiaries operate; disruptions in the market in which we fund GMAC's and ResCap's operations, with resulting negative impact on our liquidity; changes in our accounting assumptions that may require or that result from changes in the accounting rules or their application, which could result in an impact on earnings; changes in the credit ratings of ResCap, GMAC, GM or Chrysler; changes in economic conditions, currency exchange rates or political stability in the markets in which we operate; and changes in the existing or the adoption of new laws, regulations, policies or other activities of governments, agencies and similar organizations.
