(1) Relates to General Motors' purchase of Hughes Aircraft Company in 1985.

(2) 1997 amounts are presented on a pro forma basis. Historically, such amounts were calculated based on the financial performance of former Hughes, which consisted of the defense electronics, automotive electronics and telecommunications and space businesses. Since these financial statements relate only to the telecommunications and space businesses of former Hughes, the pro forma presentation is used to present the results that would have been achieved relative to the GM Class H common stock had the results been calculated based only upon such telecommunications and space businesses.
