A full-text copy of the December 2010 Operating Report is

The Committee-Backed Plan
Motors Liquidation Company and its affiliates are scheduled to
present their Chapter 11 plan for confirmation at a hearing on
March 3, 2011.
Old GM reached an agreement with the U.S. Department of the
Treasury and creditors that will allow the company to approve a
final Chapter 11 plan.
Judge Robert E. Gerber of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York has approved the adequacy of
the disclosure statement explaining the Plan at hearings in
December.
The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors recommends that
holders of general unsecured claims in Class 3 vote to accept
OLD GM's Chapter 11 plan. Deadline to submit ballots is on
February 11, 2011.
The Creditors' Committee believes the Plan provides for the best
recovery for unsecured creditors as a whole and acceptance of the
Plan will expedite distributions to general unsecured creditors.
Pursuant to the Master and Sale Purchase Agreement, General
Motors LLC ("New GM") issued to the Debtors about 10% of New
GM stock and two sets of warrants for additional New GM shares,
representing, collectively an additional 15% of New GM stock. The
Creditors' Committee says that if the aggregate allowed general
unsecured claims against the Debtors are between $35 billion and
$42 billion, New GM will issue up to an additional 2% of its stock
to the Debtors.
Under the Plan, holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims will
receive:
* An initial distribution of New GM Securities, based on the
creditor's pro rata share of the total remaining general
unsecured claims asserted against the estate. The
creditor's pro rata share will be calculated by taking the
amount of the creditor's claim and dividing it by the sum of
(x) the general unsecured claims allowed at the time plus
(y) the maximum amount of disputed general unsecured claims.
* General Unsecured Claims Trust Units, which entitle the
creditor to potentially receive additional New GM Securities
as disputed general unsecured claims are disallowed or
otherwise resolved.
The Creditors' Committee also prepared a chart showing the likely
estimated range of Allowed General Unsecured Claims in certain
categories as of November 11, 2010. The chart is available for
free at http://bankrupt.com/misc/GM_Dec10AllowedClaimsEst.pdf

Monday's edition of the TCR delivers a list of indicative prices
for bond issues that reportedly trade well below par. Prices are
obtained by TCR editors from a variety of outside sources during
the prior week we think are reliable. Those sources may not,
however, be complete or accurate. The Monday Bond Pricing table
is compiled on the Friday prior to publication. Prices reported
are not intended to reflect actual trades. Prices for actual
trades are probably different. Our objective is to share
information, not make markets in publicly traded securities.
Nothing in the TCR constitutes an offer or solicitation to buy or
sell any security of any kind. It is likely that some entity
affiliated with a TCR editor holds some position in the issuers"
public debt and equity securities about which we report.
Each Tuesday edition of the TCR contains a list of companies with
insolvent balance sheets whose shares trade higher than $3 per
share in public markets. At first glance, this list may look like
the definitive compilation of stocks that are ideal to sell short.
Don't be fooled. Assets, for example, reported at historical cost
net of depreciation may understate the true value of a firm's
assets. A company may establish reserves on its balance sheet for
liabilities that may never materialize. The prices at which
equity securities trade in public market are determined by more
than a balance sheet solvency test.
A list of Meetings, Conferences and Seminars appears in each
Wednesday's edition of the TCR. Submissions about insolvency-
related conferences are encouraged. Send announcements to
conferences@bankrupt.com by e-mail.
On Thursdays, the TCR delivers a list of recently filed
Chapter 11 cases by individuals and business entities estimating
assets and debts or disclosing assets and liabilities at less than
$1,000,000. The list includes links to freely downloadable images
of the small-dollar business-related petitions in Acrobat PDF
format.
Each Friday's edition of the TCR includes a review about a book of
interest to troubled company professionals. All titles are
available at your local bookstore or through Amazon.com. Go to
http://www.bankrupt.com/books/to order any title today.
Monthly Operating Reports are summarized in every Saturday edition
of the TCR.
The Sunday TCR delivers securitization rating news from the week
then-ending.
