Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
-------------------------------------------------------
To the Plan Administrator and Participants of GMAC Insurance Personal Lines
Retirement Savings Plan:
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of GMAC Insurance Personal Lines Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan") as of
December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related statements of changes in net assets
available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. The Plan is not required to have,
nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial
reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial
reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Plan's internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31,
2004 and 2003, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the
years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets (held
at end of year) as of December 31, 2004 is presented for the purpose of
additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial
statements, but is supplementary information required by the Department of
Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This schedule is the responsibility of
the Plan's management. Such schedule has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in our audit of the basic 2004 financial statements and, in
our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects when considered in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. INFORMATION REGARDING THE PLAN
The following brief description of GMAC Insurance Personal Lines Retirement
Savings Plan (formerly Integon Employees' Retirement Savings Plan) (the
"Plan") is provided for general informational purposes only. Participants
should refer to the plan document for a more complete description of the
Plan's provisions.
General -- The Plan is a defined contribution plan designed to comply with
the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") to qualify for
exemption from taxation. The Plan was established effective April 1, 1991
and is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974. The Plan covers all eligible employees of GMAC Insurance
Management Corporation (the Sponsor"), and other business entities. The Plan
is administered by the GMAC Insurance Personal Lines Corporation Employees'
Retirement Savings Plan Advisory Committee (the "Committee"), comprised of
individuals appointed by the Sponsor's board of directors. The Sponsor is
100% owned by GMAC Insurance Holdings, Inc. ("GMACI"), which is a wholly
owned subsidiary of General Motors Acceptance Corporation, which, in turn, is
owned by General Motors Corporation.
Eligibility -- Employees, as defined by the Plan, are immediately eligible to
participate in the Plan without regard to any age or service requirement.
Temporary employees are eligible for participation in the Plan after one year
of service providing they have worked at least 1,000 hours over 12
consecutive months, as defined by the Plan. Eligible temporary employee
participation begins on the next plan entry date, the first day of each
calendar month.
Administration of the Plan -- The trustee of the Plan is Fidelity Management
Trust Company ("Fidelity"). Fidelity also assists the Sponsor in its
administration of the Plan. Although officers or employees of the Sponsor
perform certain administrative functions, no such officer or employee
receives compensation from the Plan.
Contributions -- Eligible participants may voluntarily defer from 1% to 20%
of their basic compensation, as defined by the Plan. Contributions are
subject to certain Internal Revenue Code limitations. Employee after-tax
contributions are not permitted. Eligible participants are permitted to make
rollover contributions at the discretion of the Committee. For the plan years
ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Sponsor's funding consisted of a
matching contribution of 100% of the first 6% and 6%, respectively, of a
participant's compensation that had been deferred into the Plan.
Participant Accounts -- A separate account is maintained by Fidelity for each
participant. These account balances are adjusted at the end of each pay
period for the amount of the participant's compensation deferral and the
Sponsor's matching contributions. Investment income or loss and other
additions or deductions are credited or charged, as applicable, to the
participant's account quarterly. Allocation of the Sponsor's contribution is
based upon participant compensation, as defined. Allocation of plan earnings
is based upon the balances of the participant's individual accounts. The
benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be
provided from the participant's account.
6
GMAC INSURANCE PERSONAL LINES RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (continued)
Investment Options -- Upon enrollment in the Plan, a participant may direct
his or her contributions in one or more of various investment options.
Participants may change their investment options as desired. The Plan
currently offers one common trust, one common stock fund, and sixteen mutual
funds as investment options.
Vesting -- Participants are fully vested in the compensation that they defer
into the Plan, the Sponsor's matching contributions, and the related
investment earnings on those deferrals and contributions.
Participant Loans -- Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a
minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum of $50,000 or 50% of their vested account
balances, whichever is less. The loans are secured by the balance in the
participant's account and bear interest at rates commensurate with local
prevailing rates as determined quarterly by the plan administrator.
Payment of Benefits -- Upon termination of service due to death, disability,
or retirement, a participant may elect to receive either a lump-sum amount
equal to the value of the participant's vested interest in his or her account
or annual installments over a ten-year period. For termination of service for
other reasons, a participant may receive the value of the vested interest in
his or her account as a lump-sum distribution. Withdrawals may also be made
for certain financial hardships as defined by the Plan.
Plan Termination -- Although the Sponsor has not expressed any intention to
do so, it has the right to terminate the Plan at any time, subject to plan
provisions. Upon such termination of the Plan, the vested account balance of
each participant in the Plan will be distributed to such participant at the
time prescribed by the Code.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Accounting -- The financial statements are prepared on the accrual
basis in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America ("generally accepted accounting principles").
Use of Estimates--The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets
available for benefits and changes therein. Actual results could differ from
those estimates. The Plan utilizes various investment instruments. Investment
securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate,
credit, and overall market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated
with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in
the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and such
changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements.
Valuation of Investments and Income Recognition -- The Plan's investments are
stated at fair value based on quoted market prices. Investments in common
trust funds ("funds") are stated at estimated fair value, which has been
determined by the trustee based on the unit values of the funds. Unit values
are determined by the organization sponsoring such funds by dividing that
funds' net assets by the units outstanding at the valuation date.
Contributions to and withdrawal payments from each fund are converted to
units by dividing the amounts of each transaction by the unit value as last
determined, and the participants' accounts are charged or credited with the
number of units. Mutual funds are valued at quoted market prices, which
represent the net asset values of shares held by the Plan at year-end.
Participant loans are valued at cost plus accrued interest, which
approximates fair value. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a
trade-date basis. Interest and dividend income is recorded on the accrual
basis.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (continued)
Payment of Benefits--Benefit payments to participants are recorded upon
distribution.
Expenses--Administrative expenses of the Plan are paid by either the Plan or
the Sponsor, as provided in the plan document.

4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Certain plan investments are units of participation in common trust funds and
shares of mutual funds managed by Fidelity. Fidelity is the trustee as
defined by the Plan, and therefore, these transactions qualify as
party-in-interest transactions. The Sponsor pays a portion of the Fidelity
administrative and trustee fees. Such fees were $45,055 and $44,698 for the
years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
8
GMAC INSURANCE PERSONAL LINES RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (continued)
Certain plan investments are loans to participants who may be employees of
the Sponsor, and therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest
transactions.
5. FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS
The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Plan, by a
letter dated November 26, 2003, that the Plan and related trust were designed
in accordance with the applicable regulations of the Code. The Plan has been
amended and restated since receiving the determination letter. A
determination letter application is currently pending before the Internal
Revenue Service. The Sponsor and the plan administrator believe that the Plan
is currently designed and operated in compliance with the applicable
requirements of the Code and that the Plan and related trust continue to be
tax-exempt. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the
Plan's financial statements.
6. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Beginning July 1, 2005, six investments funds, Fidelity Freedom 2005,
Fidelity Freedom 2015, Fidelity Freedom 2025, Fidelity Freedom 2035, Fidelity
Freedom 2040 and Fidelity Small Cap Independence, will be added to the
investment options offered by the GMAC Insurance Personal Lines--Retirement
Savings Plan.
