1. Description of Business, Basis of Presentation, and Changes in Significant Accounting Policies

Ally Financial Inc. (formerly GMAC Inc. and referred to herein as Ally, we, our, or us) is one of the world’s largest automotive financial services companies. On December 24, 2008, we became a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the BHC Act). Our primary banking subsidiary is Ally Bank, which is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Ally Financial Inc.

Our accounting and reporting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). Additionally, where applicable, the policies conform to the accounting and reporting guidelines prescribed by bank regulatory authorities. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and that affect income and expenses during the reporting period. In developing the estimates and assumptions, management uses all available evidence; however, actual results could differ because of uncertainties associated with estimating the amounts, timing, and likelihood of possible outcomes.

The Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2010, and for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, are unaudited but reflect all adjustments that are, in management’s opinion, necessary for the fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements (and the related notes) included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Residential Capital, LLC

Residential Capital, LLC (ResCap), one of our mortgage subsidiaries, was negatively impacted by the events and conditions in the mortgage banking industry and the broader economy. The market deterioration led to fewer sources of, and significantly reduced levels of, liquidity available to finance ResCap’s operations. ResCap is highly leveraged relative to its cash flow and previously recognized credit and valuation losses resulting in a significant deterioration in capital. ResCap’s consolidated tangible net worth, as defined, was $793 million as of June 30, 2010, and ResCap remained in compliance with all of its consolidated tangible net worth covenants. For this purpose, consolidated tangible net worth is defined as ResCap’s consolidated equity excluding intangible assets. There continues to be a risk that ResCap will not be able to meet its debt service obligations, will default on its financial debt covenants due to insufficient capital, and/or will be in a negative liquidity position in 2010 or future periods.

ResCap actively manages its liquidity and capital positions and is continually working on initiatives to address its debt covenant compliance and liquidity needs including debt maturing in the next twelve months and other risks and uncertainties. ResCap’s initiatives include, but are not limited to, the following: continuing to work with key credit providers to optimize all available liquidity options; continued reduction of assets and other restructuring activities; focusing production on government and prime conforming products; exploring strategic alternatives such as alliances, joint ventures, and other transactions with third parties; and continued exploration of opportunities for funding and capital support from Ally and its affiliates. The outcomes of most of these initiatives are to a great extent outside of ResCap’s control resulting in increased uncertainty as to their successful execution.

On December 30, 2009, we announced that as a result of our ongoing strategic review of how to best deploy Ally’s current and future capital liquidity, we decided to pursue strategic alternatives with respect to ResCap. These alternatives being considered include one or more sales, spin-offs, or other potential transactions. The timing and form of execution of any such transactions will depend on market conditions.

Coincident with this announcement, ResCap announced in 2009 its decision to commit to a plan to sell its U.K. and continental Europe platforms. On April 12, 2010, we reached agreements to sell our mortgage assets and businesses in the United Kingdom and continental Europe. We classified the U.K. and continental Europe operations as held-for-sale during the three months ended December 31, 2009. Refer to Note 2 for additional information.

In the future, Ally and ResCap may take additional actions with respect to ResCap as each party deems appropriate. These actions may include Ally providing or declining to provide additional liquidity and capital support for ResCap;

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

 

refinancing or restructuring some or all of ResCap’s existing debt; the purchase or sale of ResCap debt securities in the public or private markets for cash or other consideration; entering into derivative or other hedging or similar transactions with respect to ResCap or its debt securities; Ally purchasing assets from ResCap; or undertaking corporate transactions such as a tender offer or exchange offer for some or all of ResCap’s outstanding debt securities, a merger, sale, asset sales, consolidation, spin-off, distribution, or other business combination or reorganization or similar action with respect to all or part of ResCap and/or its affiliates. In this context, Ally and ResCap typically consider a number of factors to the extent applicable and appropriate including, without limitation, the financial condition, results of operations, and prospects of Ally and ResCap; ResCap’s ability to obtain third-party financing; tax considerations; the current and anticipated future trading price levels of ResCap’s debt instruments; conditions in the mortgage banking industry and general economic conditions; other investment and business opportunities available to Ally and/or ResCap; and any nonpublic information that ResCap may possess or that Ally receives from ResCap.

ResCap remains heavily dependent on Ally and its affiliates for funding and capital support, and there can be no assurance that Ally or its affiliates will continue such actions or that Ally will be successful in executing one or more sales, spin-offs, or other potential transactions with respect to ResCap.

Although our continued actions through various funding and capital initiatives demonstrate support for ResCap, there are currently no commitments or assurances for future funding and/or capital support. Consequently, there remains substantial doubt about ResCap’s ability to continue as a going concern. Should we no longer continue to support the capital or liquidity needs of ResCap or should ResCap be unable to successfully execute other initiatives, it would have a material adverse effect on ResCap’s business, results of operations, and financial position.

Ally has extensive financing and hedging arrangements with ResCap that could be at risk of nonpayment if ResCap were to file for bankruptcy. As of June 30, 2010, we had approximately $2.2 billion in secured financing arrangements with ResCap of which approximately $1.4 billion in loans was utilized. Amounts outstanding under the secured financing and hedging arrangements fluctuate. If ResCap were to file for bankruptcy, ResCap’s repayments of its financing facilities, including those with us, could be slower. In addition, we could be an unsecured creditor of ResCap to the extent that the proceeds from the sale of our collateral are insufficient to repay ResCap’s obligations to us. It is possible that other ResCap creditors would seek to recharacterize our loans to ResCap as equity contributions or to seek equitable subordination of our claims so that the claims of other creditors would have priority over our claims. In addition, should ResCap file for bankruptcy, our $793 million investment related to ResCap’s equity position would likely be reduced to zero. If a ResCap bankruptcy were to occur and a substantial amount of our credit exposure is not repaid to us, it would have an adverse impact on our near-term net income and capital position, but we do not believe it would have a materially adverse impact on Ally’s consolidated financial position over the longer term.

Corporate Conversion

Effective June 30, 2009, we converted (the Conversion) from a Delaware limited liability company to a Delaware corporation pursuant to Section 18-216 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act and Section 265 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. In connection with the Conversion, each unit of each class of common and preferred membership interests issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Conversion was converted into shares of capital stock with substantially the same rights and preferences as such membership interests. Refer to Note 16 for additional information regarding the tax impact of the conversion.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets (ASU 2009-16)

As of January 1, 2010, we adopted ASU 2009-16 (formerly SFAS No. 166), which amended Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing. This standard removed the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity (QSPE) and created more stringent conditions for reporting a sale when a portion of a financial asset is transferred. To determine if a transfer is to be accounted for as a sale, the transferor must assess whether the transferor and all of the entities included in the transferor’s consolidated financial statements surrendered control of the assets. For partial asset transfers, the transferred portion must represent a pro rata component of the entire asset with no form of subordination. This standard is applied prospectively for transfers that occur on or after the effective date; however, the elimination of the QSPE concept required us to retrospectively assess all current off-balance sheet QSPE structures for consolidation under ASC Topic 810,

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

 

Consolidation, and record a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings for any consolidation change. Retrospective application of ASU 2009-16, specifically the QSPE removal, was assessed as part of the analysis required by ASU 2009-17, Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities. Refer to the section below for further information related to ASU 2009-17.

Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities (ASU 2009-17)

As of January 1, 2010, we adopted ASU 2009-17 (formerly SFAS No. 167), which amended ASC Topic 810, Consolidation. This standard addresses the primary beneficiary assessment criteria for determining whether an entity is required to consolidate a variable interest entity (VIE). This standard requires an entity to determine whether it is the primary beneficiary by performing a qualitative assessment rather than using the quantitative-based model that was required under the previous accounting guidance. The qualitative assessment consists of determining whether the entity has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the right to receive benefits or obligation to absorb losses that could potentially be significant to the VIE. As a result of the implementation of ASU 2009-16 and ASU 2009-17, several of our securitization structures previously held off-balance sheet were recognized as consolidated entities resulting in a day-one increase of $17.6 billion to assets and liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet ($10.1 billion of the increase related to operations classified as held-for-sale). As part of the day-one entry, there was an immaterial adjustment to our opening equity balance.

Expanded Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (ASU 2010-06)

As of March 31, 2010, we adopted the majority of ASU 2010-06, which amends ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements. The ASU requires fair value disclosures for each asset and liability class, disclosures related to inputs and valuation methods for measurements that use Level 2 or Level 3 inputs, disclosures of significant transfers between Levels 1 and 2, and the gross presentation of significant transfers into or out of Level 3 within the Level 3 rollforward. The ASU also requires the gross presentation of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements within the Level 3 rollforward; however, this specific requirement will be effective for us during the three months ended March 31, 2011. The disclosure requirement by class is a higher level of disaggregation compared to the previous requirement, which was based on the major asset or liability category. While the adoption of ASU 2010-06 expanded our disclosures related to fair value measurements, it did not modify the accounting treatment or measurement of items at fair value and, as such, did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables (ASU 2009-13)

In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2009-13, which amends ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. The guidance significantly changes the accounting for revenue recognition in arrangements with multiple deliverables and eliminates the residual method, which allocated the discount of a multiple deliverable arrangement among the delivered items. Under the guidance, entities will be required to allocate the total consideration to all deliverables at inception using the relative selling price and to allocate any discount in the arrangement proportionally to each deliverable based on each deliverable’s selling price. ASU 2009-13 is effective for revenue arrangements that we enter into or materially modify on or after January 1, 2011. We do not expect the adoption to have a material impact to our consolidated financial condition or results of operation.

Derivatives and Hedging – Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives (ASU 2010-11)

In March 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-11, which clarifies that the transfer of credit risk that is only in the form of subordination of one financial instrument to another financial instrument (such as the subordination of one beneficial interest to another tranche of a securitization) is an embedded derivative feature. The embedded derivative feature should not be subject to potential bifurcation or separate accounting under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. In addition, the ASU provides guidance on whether other embedded credit derivatives in financial instruments are subject to bifurcation and separate accounting. ASU 2010-11 will be effective for us on July 1, 2010, and we do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operation.

Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses (ASU 2010-20)

In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-20, which requires expanded disclosures related to the credit quality of finance receivables and loans. This disclosure will be effective for us during the December 31, 2010, reporting period. The ASU also requires a rollforward of the allowance for loan losses for each reporting period, which will be effective for us during the March 31, 2011, reporting period. Since the guidance relates only to disclosures, adoption will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operation.

 

2. Discontinued and Held-for-sale Operations

Discontinued Operations

During 2009, we committed to sell certain operations of ResCap’s International Business Group (IBG). These operations include residential mortgage loan origination, acquisition, servicing, asset management, sale, and securitizations in the United Kingdom and continental Europe (the Netherlands and Germany). During the three months ended June 30, 2010, we classified the U.K. operations as discontinued. The continental Europe operations met the discontinued operations criteria during the three months ended December 31, 2009. We expect to complete the sale of these operations during 2010.

During 2009, we committed to sell the U.S. consumer property and casualty insurance business of our Insurance operations. These operations provided vehicle and home insurance in the United States through a number of distribution channels including independent agents, affinity groups, and the internet. The sale of our U.S. consumer property and casualty insurance business was completed during the first quarter of 2010. Additionally, during 2009, we committed to sell the U.K. consumer property and casualty insurance business. We expect to complete the sale during 2010.

During the three months ended June 30, 2010, we ceased to operate at our International Automotive Finance operations in Australia and Russia and classified them as discontinued.

During 2009, we committed to sell certain operations of our International Automotive Finance operations including our Argentina, Poland, and Ecuador operations and our Masterlease operations in Australia, Belgium, France, Italy, Mexico, the Netherlands, Poland, and the United Kingdom. Our Masterlease operations provide full-service individual leasing and fleet leasing products including maintenance, fleet, and accident management services as well as fuel programs, short-term vehicle rental, and title and licensing services. As of December 31, 2009, the sales of the Masterlease operations in Italy, Mexico, and the Netherlands were completed. During the three months ended June 30, 2010, we completed the sale of our Poland operations and our Masterlease operations in Australia, Poland, Belgium, and France. In July 2010, we completed the sale of our Argentina operations. We expect to complete the sale of our Ecuador operations and Masterlease operations in the United Kingdom during 2010.

During 2009, we committed to sell the North American-based factoring business of our Commercial Finance Group. On April 30, 2010, the sale of the North American-based factoring business was completed.

We classified these operations as discontinued operations using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, as the associated operations and cash flows will be eliminated from our ongoing operations and we will not have any significant continuing involvement in their operations after the respective sale transactions. For all periods presented, all of the operating results for these operations were removed from continuing operations and are presented separately as discontinued operations, net of tax. The Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements were adjusted to exclude discontinued operations unless otherwise noted.

The pretax income or loss recognized through June 30, 2010, for the discontinued operations, including the direct costs to transact a sale, could differ from the ultimate sales price due to the fluidity of ongoing negotiations, price volatility, changing interest rates, changing foreign currency rates, and future economic conditions.

Held-for-sale Operations

All of our discontinued operations were classified as held-for-sale except for our International Automotive Finance operations in Australia and Russia. During the three months ended June 30, 2010, we also classified certain international insurance operations that are part of our Insurance operations as held-for-sale. Since these operations did not qualify as discontinued operations, the results are reflected as a component of continuing operations. No impairment was recognized to present these held-for-sale operations at the lower of cost or fair value less costs to sell. We expect to complete the sale of these insurance operations within the next twelve months. The assets and liabilities held-for-sale at June 30, 2010, are summarized below.

Recurring Fair Value

The following tables display the assets and liabilities of our held-for-sale operations measured at fair value on a recurring basis including financial instruments where we elected the fair value option. We often economically hedge the fair value change of our assets or liabilities with derivatives and other financial instruments.

The following tables present the reconciliation for all Level 3 assets and liabilities of our held-for-sale operations measured at fair value on a recurring basis. We often economically hedge the fair value change of our assets or liabilities with derivatives and other financial instruments. The Level 3 items presented below may be hedged by derivatives and other financial instruments that are classified as Level 1 or Level 2. Thus, the following tables do not fully reflect the impact of our risk management activities.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

 

The table below summarizes available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position in accumulated other comprehensive income. Based on the methodology described below that was applied to these securities, we believe that the unrealized losses relate to factors other than credit losses in the current market environment. As of June 30, 2010, we do not have the intent to sell the debt securities with an unrealized loss position in accumulated other comprehensive income, and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis. As of June 30, 2010, we had the ability and intent to hold equity securities with an unrealized loss position in accumulated other comprehensive income. As a result, we believe that the securities with an unrealized loss position in accumulated other comprehensive income are not considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of June 30, 2010.

If the cost of an investment exceeds its fair value, we evaluate, among other factors, the magnitude and duration of the decline in fair value, the financial health of and business outlook for the issuer, changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, the performance of the underlying assets for interests in securitized assets, whether we intend to sell the investment, and whether it is more likely than not we will be required to sell the debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. We had other-than-temporary impairment write-downs of $1 million for both the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $1 million and $47 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively. The $1 million impairment for the three months ended June 30, 2010, related to corporate debt securities that we have the intent to sell and was accordingly recognized in earnings.

9. Off-balance Sheet Securitizations

We sell pools of automotive and residential mortgage loans via securitization transactions, which provide permanent funding and facilitates asset and liability management. In executing the securitization transactions, we typically sell the pools to wholly owned special-purpose entities (SPEs), which then sell the loans to a separate, transaction-specific, bankruptcy-remote SPE (a securitization trust) for cash, servicing rights, and in some transactions, retained interests. The securitization trust issues and sells interests to investors that are collateralized by the secured loans and entitle the investors to specified cash flows generated from the securitized loans.

Our securitization transactions are accounted for under the requirements of ASC 810, Consolidation, and ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing. ASU 2009-16, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, and ASU 2009-17, Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities, which amended ASC 810 and ASC 860, became effective on January 1, 2010, and required the prospective consolidation of certain securitization assets and liabilities that were previously held off-balance sheet. We reflected our economic interest in these newly consolidated structures primarily through loans and secured debt rather than as interests held in off-balance sheet securitization trusts. Refer to Note 1 for additional information related to the adoption of ASU 2009-16 and ASU 2009-17. Refer to Note 19 for additional information related to the consolidation of certain securitization trusts due to the adoption of the new standards.

The following discussion and related information is only applicable to the transfers of finance receivables and loans that qualify for off-balance sheet treatment.

Each securitization is governed by various legal documents that limit and specify the activities of the securitization vehicle. The securitization vehicle is generally allowed to acquire the loans being sold to it, to issue interests to investors to fund the acquisition of the loans, and to enter into derivatives or other yield maintenance contracts to hedge or mitigate certain risks related to the asset pool or debt securities. Additionally, the securitization vehicle is required to service the assets it holds and the debt or interest it issues. A servicer appointed within the underlying legal documents performs these functions. Servicing functions include, but are not limited to, collecting payments from borrowers, performing escrow functions, monitoring delinquencies, liquidating assets, investing funds until distribution, remitting payments to investors, and accounting for and reporting information to investors.

As part of our off-balance sheet securitizations, we typically retain servicing responsibilities and, in some cases, other insignificant retained interests. Accordingly, our servicing responsibilities result in continued involvement in the form of servicing the underlying asset (primary servicing) and/or servicing the bonds resulting from the securitization transactions (master servicing) through servicing platforms. Certain securitizations require the servicer to advance scheduled principal and interest payments due on the pool regardless of whether they are received from borrowers. Accordingly, we are required to provide these servicing advances when applicable. Typically, we conclude that the fee we are paid for servicing retail automotive finance receivables represents adequate compensation, and consequently, we do not recognize a servicing asset or liability. Refer to Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K regarding the valuation of servicing rights.

Subsequent to the adoption of ASU 2009-16 and ASU 2009-17 as of January 1, 2010, we generally do not hold significant or potentially significant retained interests in our securitization trusts that qualify for off-balance sheet treatment under ASU 2009-17.

Generally, the assets initially transferred into the securitization vehicle are the sole funding source to the investors in the securitization trust and the various other parties that perform services for the transaction, such as the servicer or the trustee. In certain transactions, a liquidity provider or facility may exist to provide temporary liquidity to the structure. The liquidity provider generally is reimbursed prior to other parties in subsequent distribution periods. Bond insurance may also exist to cover certain shortfalls to certain investors. As noted above, in certain securitizations, the servicer is required to advance scheduled principal and interest payments due on the pool regardless of whether they were received from the borrowers. The servicer is allowed to reimburse itself for these servicing advances. Additionally, certain securitization transactions may allow for the acquisition of additional loans subsequent to the initial loan. Principal collections on other loans and/or the issuance of new interests, such as variable funding notes, generally fund these loans; we are often contractually required to invest in these new interests. Lastly, we provide certain guarantees as discussed in Note 30 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The investors and/or securitization trusts have no recourse to us with the exception of market customary representation and warranty repurchase provisions and, in certain transactions, early payment default provisions. Representation and warranty repurchase provisions generally require us to repurchase loans to the extent it is subsequently determined that the loans were ineligible or were otherwise defective at the time of sale. Due to market conditions, early payment default provisions are included in certain securitization transactions that require us to repurchase loans if the borrower is delinquent in making certain specific payments subsequent to the sale.

We generally hold certain conditional repurchase options that allow us to repurchase assets from the securitization. The majority of the securitizations provide us, as servicer, with a call option that allows us to repurchase the remaining assets or outstanding debt once the asset pool reaches a predefined level, which represents the point where servicing is burdensome rather than beneficial. Such an option is referred to as a clean-up call. As servicer, we are able to exercise this option at our discretion anytime after the asset pool size falls below the predefined level. The repurchase price for the loans is typically par plus accrued interest. Additionally, we may hold other conditional repurchase options that allow us to repurchase the asset if certain events, outside our control, are met. The typical conditional repurchase option is a delinquent loan repurchase option that gives us the option to purchase the loan if it exceeds a certain prespecified delinquency level. We have complete discretion regarding when or if we will exercise these options, but generally, we would do so when it is in our best interest.

The loans sold into off-balance sheet securitization transactions are removed from our balance sheet. The assets obtained from the securitization are primarily reported as cash, servicing rights, or (if retained) retained interests. We elected fair value treatment for our existing mortgage servicing rights portfolio. Liabilities incurred as part of the transaction, such as representation and warranty provisions, are recorded at fair value at the time of sale and are reported as accrued expenses and other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. Upon the sale of the loans, we recognize a gain or loss on sale for the difference between the assets recognized, the assets derecognized, and the liabilities recognized as part of the transaction.

The following summarizes the pretax gains and losses recognized on the types of loans sold into off-balance sheet securitization transactions.

We pledged MSRs of $1.5 billion as collateral for borrowings at both June 30, 2010, and December 31, 2009.

Changes in fair value due to changes in valuation inputs or assumptions used in the valuation models include all changes due to revaluation by a model or by a benchmarking exercise. Other changes in fair value primarily include the accretion of the present value of the discount related to forecasted cash flows and the economic runoff of the portfolio, foreign currency translation adjustments, and the extinguishment of MSRs related to the exercise of clean-up calls of securitization transactions.

Key assumptions we use in valuing our MSRs are as follows.

The primary risk of our servicing rights is interest rate risk and the resulting impact on prepayments. A significant decline in interest rates could lead to higher-than-expected prepayments, which could reduce the value of the MSRs. We have economically hedged the income statement impact of these risks with both derivative and nonderivative financial instruments. These instruments include interest rate swaps, caps and floors, options to purchase these items, futures, and forward contracts and/or purchasing or selling U.S. Treasury and principal-only securities. The net fair value of derivative financial instruments used to mitigate these risks amounted to $855 million and $443 million at June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The changes in fair value of the derivative financial instruments amounted to a gain of $790 million and a loss of $902 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and were included in servicing asset valuation and hedge activities, net, in the Consolidated Statement of Income.
