TABLE OF CONTENTS
ITEM 4.02(a) Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report
or Completed Interim Review
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of GMAC LLC (GMAC), after consultation with
management, concluded on February 14, 2007, that GMAC should make adjustments related to its
accounting for certain hedging activities under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended (SFAS 133).
Management recently concluded that the accounting for derivative transactions used in hedging
relationships to manage interest rate risk on certain callable fixed-rate unsecured debt for GMACs
domestic Automotive Finance operations did not satisfy the requirements of SFAS 133. The
restatements eliminate hedge accounting treatment which had been applied since the 2001 adoption of
SFAS 133. While GMACs hedging strategies have been highly effective economically, management
determined the level of initial and periodic documentation regarding the expected effectiveness of
the hedging relationships did not meet the technical requirements of SFAS 133. Management intends
to accomplish the restatement in connection with the filing of GMACs 2006 Annual Report on Form
10-K.
Although management has not determined the final amounts of the restatements, they will have a
material impact on net income in most of the periods impacted. The cumulative impact to retained
earnings related to the SFAS 133 adjustments as of September 30, 2006, is expected to result in an
overall decrease of approximately $230 million. The restatements will have no effect on our
liquidity or cash flow and do not impact the underlying economics of the hedging activities.
As a result of the restatements, the Audit Committee determined that GMACs consolidated financial
statements for periods after the January 1, 2001 adoption of SFAS 133 should no longer be relied
upon.
The Audit Committee has discussed this matter with its independent registered public accounting
firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP.
