ITEM 2.02   RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

Delphi Corporation (“Delphi” or the “Company”) today released financial information containing unaudited results for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004. These financial results remain subject to review by Delphi’s independent auditors. The results reflect adjustments for the effects of improper accounting identified in the ongoing internal investigation by Delphi’s audit committee; however, the unaudited results are preliminary and are subject to any further findings coming out of the internal investigation and any subsequent events occurring after March 31, 2005. A copy of the press release is attached as exhibit 99 (a) hereto.

ITEM 2.06   MATERIAL IMPAIRMENTS

     In conjunction with Delphi finalizing its December 31, 2004 financial statements, the Company was required to re-assess the recoverability of its U.S. deferred tax assets, which amounted to approximately $4.7 billion. Due to the Company’s history of U.S. losses over the past three years, combined with its current U.S. operating outlook for the near to medium term, Delphi determined that it could no longer support realization of such amounts under current accounting guidelines. Accordingly, the Company will record a charge to establish a valuation allowance against its U.S. deferred tax assets in its December 31, 2004 financial statements when filed. This is not a cash charge; therefore, there is no impact to Delphi’s net liquidity position. Additionally, at such time that Delphi’s U.S. operations return to sustained profitability, the Company will reassess the potential to reverse the valuation allowance being established.
