  10. Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of General Motors Corporation and domestic and foreign subsidiaries that are more than 50% owned, principally General Motors Acceptance Corporation and Subsidiaries (GMAC), (collectively referred to as the “Corporation,” “General Motors” or “GM”). In addition, GM consolidates variable interest entities (VIEs) for which it is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. General Motors’ share of earnings or losses of associates, in which at least 20% of the voting securities is owned, is included in the consolidated operating results using the equity method of accounting, except for investments where GM is not able to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial decisions of the investee, in which case, the cost method of accounting is used. GM encourages reference to the GMAC Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2004, filed separately with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain amounts for 2003 and 2002 have been reclassified to conform with the 2004 classifications. Nature of Operations, Financial Statement Presentation, and Supplemental Information GM presents its primary financial statements on a fully consolidated basis. Transactions between businesses have been eliminated in the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements. These transactions consist principally of borrowings and other financial services provided by Financing and Insurance Operations (FIO) to Automotive and Other Operations (Auto & Other). A master intercompany agreement governs the nature of these transactions to ensure that they are done on an arms length basis, in accordance with commercially reasonable standards. To facilitate analysis, GM presents supplemental information to the statements of income, balance sheets, and statements of cash flows for the following businesses: (1) Auto & Other, which consists of the design, manufacturing, and marketing of cars, trucks, locomotives, and related parts and accessories; and (2) FIO, which consists primarily of GMAC. GMAC provides a broad range of financial services, including consumer vehicle financing, full-service leasing and fleet leasing, dealer financing, car and truck extended service contracts, residential and commercial mortgage services, vehicle and homeowners’ insurance, and asset-based lending. Statements of Cash Flows After considering the concerns raised by the staff of the SEC, management has concluded that certain prior year balances in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows should be reclassified to appropriately present net cash provided by operating activities and net cash used in investing activities. The Corporation’s previous policy was to classify all the cash flow effects of providing wholesale loans to its independent dealers by GM’s Financing and Insurance Operations as an investing activity in its Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. This policy, when applied to the financing of inventory sales, had the effect of presenting an investing cash outflow and an operating cash inflow even though there was no cash inflow or outflow on a consolidated basis. The Corporation has changed its policy to eliminate this intersegment activity from its Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and, as a result of this change, all cash flow effects related to wholesale loans are reflected in the operating activities section of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for 2004. This reclassification better reflects the financing of the sale of inventory as a non-cash transaction to GM on a consolidated basis and eliminates the effects of intercompany transactions. The following table shows the effects of this reclassification on prior years, consistent with the 2004 presentation.
