FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This document contains "forward-looking statements" – that is, statements related to future, not past, events. In this context, forward-looking statements often address our expected future business and financial performance and financial condition, and often contain words such as "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "believe," "seek," "see," "will," "would," or "target."

Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain, such as statements about our announced plan to reduce the size of our financial services businesses, including expected cash and non-cash charges associated with this plan; expected income; earnings per share; revenues; organic growth; margins; cost structure; restructuring charges; cash flows; return on capital; capital expenditures, capital allocation or capital structure; dividends; and the split between Industrial and GE Capital earnings.

For us, particular uncertainties that could cause our actual results to be materially different than those expressed in our forward-looking statements include:

	obtaining (or the timing of obtaining) any required regulatory reviews or approvals or any other consents or approvals associated with our announced plan to reduce the size of our financial services businesses;

	our ability to complete incremental asset sales as part of that plan in a timely manner (or at all) and at the prices we have assumed;



changes in law, economic and financial conditions, including interest and exchange rate volatility, commodity and equity prices and the value of financial assets, including the impact of these conditions on our ability to sell or the value of incremental assets to be sold as part of our announced plan to reduce the size of our financial services businesses as well as other aspects of that plan;

	the impact of conditions in the financial and credit markets on the availability and cost of GECC's funding, and GECC's exposure to counterparties;

	the impact of conditions in the housing market and unemployment rates on the level of commercial and consumer credit defaults;

	pending and future mortgage loan repurchase claims and other litigation claims in connection with WMC, which may affect our estimates of liability, including possible loss estimates;

	our ability to maintain our current credit rating and the impact on our funding costs and competitive position if we do not do so;

	the adequacy of our cash flows and earnings and other conditions, which may affect our ability to pay our quarterly dividend at the planned level or to repurchase shares at planned levels;

	GECC's ability to pay dividends to GE at the planned level, which may be affected by GECC's cash flows and earnings, financial services regulation and oversight, and other factors;

	our ability to convert pre-order commitments/wins into orders;

	the price we realize on orders since commitments/wins are stated at list prices;

	customer actions or developments such as early aircraft retirements or reduced energy demand and other factors that may affect the level of demand and financial performance of the major industries and customers we serve;

	the effectiveness of our risk management framework;

	the impact of regulation and regulatory, investigative and legal proceedings and legal compliance risks, including the impact of financial services regulation and litigation;

	adverse market conditions, timing of and ability to obtain required bank regulatory approvals, or other factors relating to us or Synchrony Financial that could prevent us from completing the Synchrony Financial split-off as planned;

	our capital allocation plans, as such plans may change including with respect to the timing and size of share repurchases, acquisitions, joint ventures, dispositions and other strategic actions;



our success in completing, including obtaining regulatory approvals for, announced transactions, such as the proposed transactions and alliances with Alstom and Appliances and our announced plan and transactions to reduce the size of our financial services businesses, and our ability to realize anticipated earnings and savings;

	our success in integrating acquired businesses and operating joint ventures;

	the impact of potential information technology or data security breaches; and

	the other factors that are described in "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

These or other uncertainties may cause our actual future results to be materially different than those expressed in our forward-looking statements. We do not undertake to update our forward-looking statements. This document includes certain forward-looking projected financial information that is based on current estimates and forecasts. Actual results could differ materially.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (MD&A)

HOW WE TALK ABOUT OUR RESULTS

We believe that investors will gain a better understanding of our company if they understand how we measure and talk about our results. Because of the diversity in our businesses, we present our financial statements in a three- column format, which allows investors to see our industrial operations separately from our financial services operations. We believe that this provides useful information to investors. When used in this report, unless otherwise indicated by the context, we use the terms to mean the following:

	General Electric or the Company - the parent company, General Electric Company.



GE - the adding together of all affiliates other than General Electric Capital Corporation (GECC), whose continuing operations are presented on a one-line basis, giving effect to the elimination of transactions among such affiliates. Transactions between GE and GECC have not been eliminated at the GE level. We present the results of GE in the center columns of our consolidated statements of earnings, financial position and cash flows. An example of a GE metric is GE cash from operating activities (GE CFOA).



General Electric Capital Corporation or GECC or Financial Services – the adding together of all affiliates of GECC, giving effect to the elimination of transactions among such affiliates. We present the results of GECC in the right-side columns of our consolidated statements of earnings, financial position and cash flows. It should be noted that GECC is sometimes referred to as GE Capital or Capital, when not in the context of discussing segment results.

	GE consolidated – the adding together of GE and GECC, giving effect to the elimination of transactions between GE and GECC. We present the results of GE consolidated in the left side columns of our consolidated statements of earnings, financial position and cash flows.

	Industrial – GE excluding GECC. We believe that this provides investors with a view as to the results of our industrial businesses and corporate items. An example of an Industrial metric is Industrial CFOA, which is GE CFOA excluding the effects of dividends from GECC.



Industrial segment – the sum of our seven industrial reporting segments without giving effect to the elimination of transactions among such segments. We believe that this provides investors with a view as to the results of our industrial segments, without inter-segment eliminations and corporate items. An example of an industrial segment metric is industrial segment revenue growth.



Total segment – the sum of our seven industrial reporting segments and one financial services reporting segment, without giving effect to the elimination of transactions among such segments. We believe that this provides investors with a view as to the results of all of our segments, without inter-segment eliminations and corporate items.



GE Capital Verticals or Verticals – the adding together of GE Capital businesses that we expect to retain, principally its vertical financing businesses—GE Capital Aviation Services (GECAS), Energy Financial Services (EFS) and Healthcare Equipment Finance—that directly relate to the Company's core industrial domain and other operations, including Working Capital Solutions, our run-off insurance activities, and allocated corporate costs.

2015 3Q FORM 10-Q PAGE 5

OTHER TERMS USED BY GE

	Revenues – unless otherwise indicated, we refer to captions such as "revenues and other income", simply as revenues.

	Organic revenues – revenues excluding the effects of acquisitions, dispositions and foreign currency exchange.



Industrial segment services revenues – refers to the sales under product services agreements and sales of both goods (such as spare parts and equipment upgrades) and related services (such as monitoring, maintenance and repairs) as sales of "product services" or "services," which is an important part of our operations.

	Earnings – unless otherwise indicated, we refer to captions such as "earnings from continuing operations attributable to the company" simply as earnings.

	Earnings per share (EPS) – unless otherwise indicated, we refer to "earnings per share from continuing operations attributable to the company" simply as earnings per share.

	Operating earnings – GE earnings from continuing operations attributable to the company excluding the impact of non-operating pension costs.

	Segment profit – refers to the operating profit of the industrial segments and the net earnings of the financial services segment. See page 14 for a description of the basis for segment profits.

	Operating pension costs – comprise the service cost of benefits earned, prior service cost amortization and curtailment loss for our principal pension plans.

	Non-operating pension costs – comprise the expected return on plan assets, interest cost on benefit obligations and net actuarial loss amortization for our principal pension plans.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In the accompanying analysis of financial information, we sometimes use information derived from consolidated financial data but not presented in our financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Certain of these data are considered "non-GAAP financial measures" under the SEC rules. Specifically, we have referred, in various sections of this Form 10-Q Report, to:

	Operating earnings (loss) and operating EPS

	GE Industrial operating + Verticals EPS

	Operating and non-operating pension costs

	Industrial segment organic revenue growth

	Oil & Gas organic revenue and operating profit growth

	Industrial cash flows from operating activities (Industrial CFOA)

	Adjusted Corporate Costs (Operating)

	GE Capital ending net investment (ENI), excluding liquidity

	GECC Tier 1 common ratio estimate

The reasons we use these non-GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in Exhibit 99(a) to this Form 10-Q Report. Non-GAAP financial measures referred to in this Form 10-Q Report are designated with an asterisk (*).

Operational and financial overview for our operating segment are provided in the "Segment Operations" section within this MD&A.

THE GE CAPITAL EXIT PLAN

On April 10, 2015, the Company announced its plan (the GE Capital Exit Plan) to reduce the size of its financial services businesses through the sale of most of the assets of GECC over the following 24 months, and to focus on continued investment and growth in the Company's industrial businesses. Under the GE Capital Exit Plan, which was approved on April 2, 2015 and aspects of which were approved on March 31, 2015, the Company will retain certain GECC businesses, principally its vertical financing businesses—GE Capital Aviation Services, Energy Financial Services and Healthcare Equipment Finance—that directly relate to the Company's core industrial domain and other operations, including Working Capital Solutions and our run-off insurance activities (together referred to as GE Capital Verticals or Verticals). The assets planned for disposition include Real Estate, most of Commercial Lending and Leasing (CLL) and all Consumer platforms (including all U.S. banking assets). The Company expects to execute this strategy using an efficient approach for exiting non-vertical assets that works for the Company's and GECC's debt holders and the Company's shareowners. An element of this approach involves a merger of GECC into the Company to assure compliance with debt covenants as GECC exits non-vertical assets, and the creation of a new intermediate holding company to hold GECC's businesses after the merger. The Company has discussed the GE Capital Exit Plan, aspects of which are subject to regulatory review and approval, with its regulators and staff of the Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC) and will work closely with these bodies to take the actions necessary over time to terminate the FSOC's designation of GECC (and the new intermediate holding company, as applicable) as a nonbank systemically important financial institution (nonbank SIFI).

REORGANIZATION AND EXCHANGE OFFERS

The merger and creation of a new intermediate holding company is part of a reorganization of GECC's businesses (the Reorganization) pursuant to which GE will also separate GECC's international and U.S. operations. GECC's international operations will be consolidated under a new international holding company (GE Capital International Holdings) and will have a separate capital structure and be supervised by the U.K. Prudential Regulation Authority. The Reorganization, Exchange Offers (as described below) and establishment of GE Capital International Holdings are intended, among other things, to establish an efficient and simplified capital structure that is satisfactory to GECC's regulators, a key step in terminating the nonbank systemically important financial institution designation for GECC. In addition, the Exchange Offers were designed to align the liabilities of GE Capital International Holdings to its assets from a maturity profile and liquidity standpoint, taking into consideration asset sales, and where appropriate, shortening the maturity profile of targeted liabilities.

2015 3Q FORM 10-Q PAGE 7

As part of the GE Capital Exit Plan, on September 21, 2015 GE Capital commenced private offers to exchange (the Exchange Offers) up to $30 billion of certain outstanding debt for new notes with maturities of six months, five years, ten years or twenty years. On October 19, 2015, given the high level of participation, the offering was increased by $6 billion with the aggregate principal amount of $36 billion of outstanding notes being tendered for exchange and settled on October 26, 2015. The new notes that were issued at closing are composed of $15.3 billion of 0.964% Six Month Notes due 2016, £0.8 billion of 1.363% Six Month Notes due 2016, $6.1 billion of 2.342% Notes due 2020, $2.0 billion of 3.373% Notes due 2025 and $11.5 billion of 4.418% Notes due 2035. Of the $16.2 billion exchanged into the Six Month Notes, $1.3 billion is in short term borrowings at September 30, 2015. GECC will continue to evaluate the opportunity to repurchase debt while maintaining our liquidity at the levels communicated as part of the GE Capital Exit Plan. The new notes have been fully, irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed by GE.

SALES AGREEMENTS

During the first nine months of 2015, GE signed agreements to sell approximately $94 billion of ENI, excluding liquidity (as originally reported at December 31, 2014), of which approximately $45 billion and $33 billion related to the CLL and Real Estate businesses, respectively. CLL transactions signed in the third quarter 2015 included approximately $9.3 billion related to its Healthcare Financial Services U.S. lending business with Capital One, approximately $7.6 billion related to its Transportation Finance business in the U.S. and Canada with BMO Financial Group, and approximately $1.8 billion related to its Mubadala joint venture with MidCap Finco. Ltd., which is managed by Apollo Capital Management. Of the signed agreements, approximately $60 billion have closed, including approximately $30 billion and $21 billion related to Real Estate and CLL, respectively. The Real Estate transactions that have closed included the majority of GECC's Real Estate debt and equity portfolio sold to funds managed by The Blackstone Group (which, in turn, sold a portion of this portfolio to Wells Fargo & Company). In connection with The Blackstone Group transactions, GECC provided $3.2 billion of seller financing to The Blackstone Group, which GECC intends to syndicate by 2016. As of September 30, 2015, GECC has collected or sold approximately $0.4 billion of this seller financing. The CLL transactions that have closed included its U.S. and European Sponsor Finance businesses and the majority of its Global Fleet services business.

In addition, during October 2015, we signed agreements to sell approximately $32 billion of ENI, excluding liquidity (as originally reported at December 31, 2014) related to our CLL business. These signed CLL transactions included approximately $30 billion related to our global Commercial Distribution Finance, North American Vendor Finance and North American Corporate Finance businesses with Wells Fargo & Company and approximately $2 billion related to our Corporate Aircraft portfolio with Global Jet Capital.

AFTER-TAX CHARGES RELATED TO THE GE CAPITAL EXIT PLAN

In connection with the GE Capital Exit Plan announced on April 10, the Company estimated that it would incur approximately $23 billion in after-tax charges through 2016, approximately $6 billion of which are expected to result in future net cash expenditures. These charges relate to: business dispositions, including goodwill allocations (approximately $13 billion), tax expense related to expected repatriation of foreign earnings and write-off of deferred tax assets (approximately $7 billion), and restructuring and other charges (approximately $3 billion).

In the nine months ended September 30, 2015, GE recorded $21.1 billion of after-tax charges related to the GE Capital Exit Plan, including $0.4 billion of after-tax charges recorded in the third quarter of 2015, primarily exit-related charges in our CLL business, partially offset by income associated with operations in CLL and Real Estate. A description of after-tax charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 is provided below.

	$9.8 billion of net loss primarily related to the planned disposition of the Real Estate business and most of the CLL business, which is recorded in discontinued operations under the caption "Earnings (loss) from discontinued operations, net of taxes" in the Statement of Earnings.



$6.2 billion of tax expense related to expected repatriation of foreign earnings and write-off of deferred tax assets, of which $6.1 billion is reported in GECC's Corporate component and $0.2 billion is reported in our Consumer business all recorded in continuing operations under the caption "Benefit (provision) for income taxes" in the Statement of Earnings.



$4.7 billion of net asset impairments due to shortened hold periods, of which $3.2 billion is recorded in continuing operations in our Consumer business primarily under the captions "Provisions for losses on financing receivables" and "Revenues from services" in the Statement of Earnings and $1.5 billion is recorded in discontinued operations in our CLL business under the caption "Earnings (loss) from discontinued operations, net of taxes" in the Statement of Earnings.

2015 3Q FORM 10-Q PAGE 8



$0.4 billion of restructuring and other charges, of which $0.3 billion is recorded in continuing operations in GECC's Corporate component under the caption "Other costs and expenses" in the Statement of Earnings and $0.1 billion is recorded in discontinued operations in our CLL business under the caption "Earnings (loss) from discontinued operations, net of taxes" in the Statement of Earnings.

GUARANTEE

As part of the GE Capital Exit Plan, on April 10, 2015, the Company and GECC entered into an amendment to their existing financial support agreement. Under this amendment (the Amendment), the Company has provided a full and unconditional guarantee (the Guarantee) of the payment of principal and interest on all tradable senior and subordinated outstanding long-term debt securities and all commercial paper issued or guaranteed by GECC identified in the Amendment. In the aggregate, the Guarantee applied to approximately $184 billion of GECC debt as of September 30, 2015. The Guarantee replaced the requirement that the Company make certain income maintenance payments to GECC in certain circumstances. GECC's U.S. public indentures were concurrently amended to provide the full and unconditional guarantee by the Company set forth in the Guarantee.

SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL EXCHANGE OFFER

On October 14, 2015, the Federal Reserve Board approved Synchrony Financial's application to operate as a publicly owned savings and loan holding company following completion of the exchange offer, conditioned on Synchrony Financial complying with certain conditions, including receipt of all required regulatory approvals, and on the commitments made in connection with Synchrony Financial's applications.

On October 19, 2015, GE commenced an offer to exchange GE common stock for common stock of GECC's approximately 84.6% owned subsidiary, Synchrony Financial. This exchange offer is in connection with the previously announced separation of Synchrony Financial and is expected to conclude the week of November 16, 2015. We estimate that the exchange will reduce the outstanding shares of GE common stock by approximately 6-7%. Following the completion of the share exchange, GECC expects the Federal Reserve Board to act in due course on its application to deregister as a savings and loan holding company but cannot predict the timing of the Federal Reserve Board's action. For further information about the Synchrony Financial transaction, see the Form S-4 filed by Synchrony Financial on October 19, 2015.

PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements of General Electric Company (the Company) combine the industrial manufacturing and services businesses of General Electric Company (GE) with the financial services businesses of General Electric Capital Corporation (GECC or financial services).

We integrate acquisitions as quickly as possible. Revenues and earnings from the date we complete the acquisition through the end of the following fourth quarter are considered the acquisition effect of such businesses.

Amounts reported in billions in graphs within this Form 10-Q report are computed based on the amounts in millions. As a result, the sum of the components reported in billions may not equal the total amount reported in billions due to rounding. Certain columns and rows within the tables may not add due to the use of rounded numbers. Percentages presented are calculated from the underlying numbers in millions.

Discussions throughout this MD&A are based on continuing operations unless otherwise noted.

				On October 19, 2015, we launched the Synchrony Financial share exchange, after the Federal Reserve Board approved Synchrony Financial's application to operate as a publicly owned savings and loan holding company. At September 30, 2015, we had an agreement to sell our consumer finance business in Australia and New Zealand for approximately 6.0 billion Australian dollars and 1.4 billion New Zealand dollars, respectively. We announced the GE Capital Exit Plan in April 2015 and GECC's Real Estate business and most of the CLL business have been classified as discontinued operations. We acquired Milestone Aviation Group, a helicopter leasing business, for approximately $1.8 billion on January 30, 2015. The effects of the stronger U.S. dollar in the nine months ended September 30, 2015, primarily related to the euro, decreased consolidated revenues by $3.9 billion. GE returned $7.2 billion to shareowners in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 primarily through dividends.
Verticals include businesses expected to be retained (GECAS, EFS, Healthcare Equipment Finance, Working Capital Solutions, and run-off insurance), including allocated corporate costs.

SEGMENT OPERATIONS

SEGMENT REVENUES AND PROFIT

Segment revenues include revenues and other income related to the segment.

Segment profit is determined based on internal performance measures used by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to assess the performance of each business in a given period. In connection with that assessment, the CEO may exclude matters such as charges for restructuring; rationalization and other similar expenses; acquisition costs and other related charges; technology and product development costs; certain gains and losses from acquisitions or dispositions; and litigation settlements or other charges, for which responsibility preceded the current management team.

Segment profit excludes results reported as discontinued operations and accounting changes. Segment profit also excludes the portion of earnings or loss attributable to noncontrolling interests of consolidated subsidiaries, and as such only includes the portion of earnings or loss attributable to our share of the consolidated earnings or loss of consolidated subsidiaries.

Segment profit excludes or includes interest and other financial charges and income taxes according to how a particular segment's management is measured:

	Interest and other financial charges and income taxes are excluded in determining segment profit (which we sometimes refer to as "operating profit") for the industrial segments.

	Interest and other financial charges and income taxes are included in determining segment profit (which we sometimes refer to as "net earnings") for the GE Capital segment.

Certain corporate costs, such as shared services, employee benefits and information technology are allocated to our segments based on usage. A portion of the remaining corporate costs is allocated based on each segment's relative net cost of operations.

PLANNED ACQUISITION OF ALSTOM IMPACTS MULTIPLE SEGMENTS

During the second quarter of 2014, GE's offer to acquire the Thermal, Renewables and Grid businesses of Alstom for approximately €12,350 million (to be adjusted for the assumed net cash or liability at closing) was positively recommended by Alstom's board of directors. As part of the transaction, Alstom and the French Government signed a memorandum of understanding for the formation of three joint ventures in grid technology, renewable energy, and global nuclear and French steam power. Alstom will invest approximately €2,400 million in these joint ventures at the closing of the proposed transaction.

In the fourth quarter of 2014, Alstom completed its review of the proposed transaction with the works council and obtained approval from its shareholders. Also in the fourth quarter of 2014, GE and Alstom entered into an amendment to the original agreement where GE has agreed to pay Alstom a net amount of approximately €260 million of additional consideration at closing. In exchange for this funding, Alstom has agreed to extend the trademark licensing of the Alstom name from 5 years to 25 years as well as other contractual amendments.

In the second quarter of 2015, the European Commission indicated that it had competition concerns with the proposed transaction. In response, GE proposed remedies to address the concerns of the Commission and the U.S. Department of Justice while preserving the strategic and economic rationale of the proposed transaction. On September 8, 2015, the European Commission and the Department of Justice accepted GE's proposal and approved the transaction. In order to obtain approval, GE has pledged to sell certain of Alstom's gas-turbine assets and its Power Systems Mfg. subsidiary to Ansaldo Energia SpA after the close of the transaction for approximately €120 million. As a result of final negotiations, Alstom has agreed to contribute financially to the remedies through a €300 million reduction in the purchase price of the transaction. Further, GE and Alstom agreed to other purchase price amendments that resulted in a net increase of consideration of approximately €45 million and a reduction in the trademark licensing period of the Alstom name to five years. The transaction is targeted to close in November 2015.

2015 3Q FORM 10-Q PAGE 14

The acquisition and alliances with Alstom will impact our Power & Water and Energy Management segments. The impact of acquired businesses on individual segments will be affected by a number of variables, including operating performance, purchase accounting impacts and expected synergies. In addition, due to the amount of time between signing and closing, the operations of the businesses may fluctuate and impact the overall valuation of the acquired businesses at the time of close and, accordingly, may affect the amounts assigned to the assets and liabilities recorded in accordance with purchase accounting.

PLANNED SALE OF APPLIANCES

In the third quarter of 2014, we signed an agreement to sell our Appliances business to Electrolux for approximately $3.3 billion. On July 1, 2015, we were notified that the Department of Justice had initiated court proceedings seeking to enjoin the sale of Appliances to Electrolux. Electrolux and GE intend to defend the proposed transaction and a trial date has been set for November 9, 2015.

ENDING NET INVESTMENT, EXCLUDING LIQUIDITY*		TIER 1 COMMON RATIO ESTIMATE*

SIGNIFICANT TRENDS & DEVELOPMENTS



The GE Capital Exit Plan - As previously discussed, on April 10, 2015, the Company announced its plan to reduce the size of the financial services businesses through the sale of most of the assets of GECC over the following 24 months. It is expected that as a result of the GE Capital Exit Plan, the GE Capital businesses that will remain with GE will account for about $90 billion in ending net investment (ENI), excluding liquidity, including about $40 billion in the U.S. ENI is a metric used to measure the total capital invested in the financial services businesses. GE Capital's ENI, excluding liquidity* was $176 billion at September 30, 2015.

During the first nine months of 2015, GE signed agreements to sell approximately $94 billion of ENI, excluding liquidity (as originally reported at December 31, 2014), of which $45 billion and $33 billion related to the CLL and Real Estate businesses, respectively. CLL transactions signed in the third quarter 2015 included approximately $9.3 billion related to its Healthcare Financial Services U.S. lending business with Capital One, approximately $7.6 billion related to its Transportation Finance business in the U.S. and Canada with BMO Financial Group, and approximately $1.8 billion related to its Mubadala joint venture, with MidCap Finco Ltd., which is managed by Apollo Capital Management.

Of the signed agreements, approximately $60 billion have closed, including approximately $30 billion and $21 billion related to Real Estate and CLL, respectively. The Real Estate transactions that have closed included the majority of GECC's Real Estate debt and equity portfolio sold to funds managed by The Blackstone Group (which, in turn, sold a portion of this portfolio to Wells Fargo & Company). In connection with The Blackstone Group transactions, GECC provided $3.2 billion of seller financing to The Blackstone Group, which GECC intends to syndicate by 2016. As of September 30, 2015, GECC has collected or sold approximately $0.4 billion of this seller financing. The CLL transactions that have closed included its U.S. and European Sponsor Finance businesses and the majority of its Global Fleet services business.

	Milestone Aviation Group – On January 30, 2015, GECAS acquired Milestone Aviation Group, a helicopter leasing business, for approximately $1.8 billion.



Synchrony Financial – On October 19, 2015, GE commenced an offer to exchange GE common stock for common stock of GECC's approximately 84.6% owned subsidiary, Synchrony Financial. This exchange offer is in connection with the previously announced separation of Synchrony Financial and is expected to conclude the week of November 16, 2015. We estimate that the exchange will reduce the outstanding shares of GE common stock by approximately 6-7%. Following the completion of the share exchange, GECC expects the Federal Reserve Board to act in due course on its application to deregister as a savings and loan holding company but cannot predict the timing of the Federal Reserve Board's action. For further information about the Synchrony Financial transaction, see the Form S-4 filed by Synchrony Financial on October 19, 2015.

	Dividends - GECC paid no dividends and $0.5 billion of dividends to GE in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively.

COMMENTARY: 2015 - 2014

Segment revenues decreased 1% in the three months ended September 30, 2015 as a result of higher impairments and the effects of currency exchange, partially offset by higher gains and the effects of acquisitions. Net earnings decreased 13% in the three months ended September 30, 2015 primarily due to core decreases, including charges associated with the GE Capital Exit Plan and higher impairments, partially offset by higher gains, the effects of dispositions and lower provisions for losses on financing receivables.

Segment revenues decreased 9% and net earnings decreased significantly in the nine months ended September 30, 2015, primarily due to the effects of the GE Capital Exit Plan.

COMMERCIAL LENDING AND LEASING

During the second quarter of 2015, the majority of CLL's business met held for sale criteria and was classified as discontinued operations. See Note 2 for additional information. The discussion below relates solely to the portion of CLL's business classified as continuing operations, which include Healthcare Equipment Finance and Working Capital Solutions.

CLL 2015 revenues increased 14% and net earnings increased 23% in the three months ended September 30, 2015. Revenues increased primarily as a result of organic revenue growth. Net earnings increased reflecting core increases.

CLL 2015 revenues increased 6% and net earnings increased 13% in the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Revenues increased primarily as a result of organic revenue growth, partially offset by the effects of currency exchange. Net earnings increased reflecting core increases.

CONSUMER

Consumer 2015 revenues increased 1% and net earnings increased 28% in the three months ended September 30, 2015. Revenues increased reflecting higher gains ($0.2 billion), organic revenue growth ($0.1 billion) and the effects of acquisitions, partially offset by the effects of dispositions ($0.2 billion) and the effects of currency exchange ($0.1 billion). Net earnings increased as a result of higher gains ($0.1 billion) and lower provisions for financing receivables ($0.1 billion), partially offset by core decreases.

Consumer 2015 revenues decreased 15% and net earnings decreased unfavorably in the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Net earnings decreased as a result of higher provisions for losses on financing receivables ($2.0 billion), higher impairments ($1.2 billion) and core decreases ($0.4 billion), partially offset by higher gains ($0.2 billion). These decreases are primarily related to the reclassification of assets within Consumer to financing receivables held-for-sale recorded at the lower of cost or fair value, less cost to sell ($2.2 billion), and asset impairments related to equity method investments in connection with the GE Capital Exit Plan ($1.2 billion).

2015 – 2014 COMMENTARY: THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30

Revenues and other income were flat.

Operating costs were flat, primarily as a result of:

	$0.1 billion lower restructuring and other charges offset by $0.1 billion higher costs associated with our principal retirement plans, including the effects of lower discount rates and updated mortality assumptions, and

	Lower headquarter functional costs offset by higher investment in Information Technology (IT) growth initiatives.

2015 – 2014 COMMENTARY: NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30

Revenues and other income increased $0.5 billion, primarily a result of:

	$0.5 billion higher other income from a settlement related to the NBCU transaction.

Operating costs decreased $0.1 billion, primarily as a result of:

	$0.5 billion higher income from the NBCU transaction,

	$0.1 billion of lower restructuring and other charges, and

	Lower headquarter functional costs offset by higher investment in IT growth initiatives.

These decreases to operating costs were partially offset by $0.4 billion higher costs associated with our principal retirement plans including the effects of lower discount rates and updated mortality assumptions.

OTHER CONSOLIDATED INFORMATION

INCOME TAXES

Income taxes have a significant effect on our net earnings. As a global commercial enterprise, our tax rates are affected by many factors, including our global mix of earnings, the extent to which those global earnings are indefinitely reinvested outside the United States, legislation, acquisitions, dispositions and tax characteristics of our income. Our tax rates are also affected by tax incentives introduced in the U.S. and other countries in furtherance of policies to encourage and support certain types of activity. Our tax returns are routinely audited and settlements of issues raised in these audits sometimes affect our tax provisions.

GE and GECC file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return. This enables GE to use GECC tax deductions and credits to reduce the tax that otherwise would have been payable by GE. The GECC effective tax rate reflects the benefit of these tax reductions in the consolidated return. GE makes cash payments to GECC for these tax reductions at the time GE's tax payments are due.

CONSOLIDATED – THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30

(Dollars in billions)

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

2015 – 2014 COMMENTARY: THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30

	The consolidated income tax provision was slightly lower as tax benefits associated with the GE Capital Exit Plan were largely offset by lower tax benefits from lower-taxed global operations.

	The consolidated tax provision includes $0.4 billion for GE (excluding GECC) for the third quarters of both 2014 and 2015.

2015 – 2014 COMMENTARY: NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30

	The consolidated income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was greater than 100% as the positive tax expense of $7.5 billion exceeded pre-tax income of $5.6 billion due to charges associated with GE Capital Exit Plan.

	As discussed in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements, during the first nine months ended September 30, 2015 in conjunction with the GE Capital Exit Plan, we incurred tax expense of $6.2 billion related to expected repatriation of foreign earnings and write-off of deferred tax assets.

	The increase in the income tax expense is primarily due to the tax expense incurred as part of the GE Capital Exit Plan, lower tax benefits from lower-taxed global operations and an increase in pre-tax income taxed at above the average tax rate.

	The consolidated tax provision includes $1.3 billion and $1.1 billion for GE (excluding GECC) for the first nine months of 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase is related primarily to higher pre-tax income taxed at above the average tax rate.

2015 3Q FORM 10-Q PAGE 36

BENEFITS FROM GLOBAL OPERATIONS

Absent the effects of the GE Capital Exit Plan, our consolidated income tax rate is lower than the U.S. statutory rate primarily because of benefits from lower-taxed global operations, including the use of global funding structures. There is a benefit from global operations as non-U.S. income is subject to local country tax rates that are significantly below the 35% U.S. statutory rate. These non-U.S. earnings have been indefinitely reinvested outside the U.S. and are not subject to current U.S. income tax. The rate of tax on our indefinitely reinvested non-U.S. earnings is below the 35% U.S. statutory rate because we have significant business operations subject to tax in countries where the tax on that income is lower than the U.S. statutory rate and because GE funds certain of its non-U.S. operations through foreign companies that are subject to low foreign taxes.

Historically, the most significant portion of these benefits depends on the provision of U.S. law deferring the tax on active financial services income, which, as discussed below, is subject to expiration. A substantial portion of the remaining benefit related to business operations subject to tax in countries where the tax on that income is lower than the U.S. statutory rate is derived from our GECAS aircraft leasing operations located in Ireland. No other operation in any one country accounts for a material portion of the remaining balance of the benefit.

We expect our ability to benefit from non-U.S. income taxed at less than the U.S. rate to continue, subject to changes in our earnings profile due to the GE Capital Exit Plan and changes in U.S. or foreign law, including the expiration of the U.S. tax law provision deferring tax on active financial services income. In addition, since this benefit depends on management's intention to indefinitely reinvest amounts outside the U.S., our tax provision will increase to the extent we no longer intend to indefinitely reinvest foreign earnings.

STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION

Because GE and GECC share certain significant elements of their Statements of Financial Position, the following discussion addresses significant captions in the consolidated statement. Within the following discussions, however, we distinguish between GE and GECC activities in order to permit meaningful analysis of each individual consolidating statement.

MAJOR CHANGES IN OUR FINANCIAL POSITION FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2015

	Cash and equivalents increased $14.2 billion. See the following Liquidity Sources and Statement of Cash Flows sections for additional information.

	GECC Financing receivables-net decreased $38.7 billion. See the following GECC Financing Receivables section for additional information.

	GECC Financing receivables held for sale increased $22.9 billion. See the following GECC Financing Receivables Held for Sale section for additional information.

	Deferred income taxes decreased $5.2 billion primarily due to deferred tax asset write-offs resulting from the GE Capital Exit Plan, along with the remeasurement of postretirement benefit plans.

	Assets of discontinued operations decreased $65.0 billion, primarily due to the disposition of CLL businesses of $35.0 billion and Real Estate of $29.1 billion. See Note 2 for additional information.

	Borrowings decreased $46.5 billion, primarily due to net repayments on GECC borrowings of $43.4 billion, along with a $7.3 billion reduction in the balances driven by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against all major currencies, partially offset by new debt issuances by GE of $3.5 billion.

	Bank deposits increased $4.8 billion, primarily due to an increase in U.S. bank deposits of $5.4 billion at Synchrony Financial, offset by a $0.7 billion reduction driven by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar in non-U.S. bank deposits.

	Liabilities of discontinued operations decreased $5.0 billion, primarily due to the disposition of CLL businesses of $3.3 billion and Real Estate of $1.7 billion. See Note 2 for additional information.

2015 3Q FORM 10-Q PAGE 37

GECC FINANCING RECEIVABLES

Financing receivables held for investment are those that we have the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future and are measured at the principal amount outstanding, net of the allowance for losses, write-offs, unamortized discounts and premiums, and net deferred loan fees or costs.

At September 30, 2015, our financing receivables portfolio primarily relates to Synchrony Financial (our U.S. consumer business), Working Capital Solutions, which purchases GE customer receivables and GECAS, Energy Financial Services and Healthcare Equipment Finance (that directly relate to GE's core industrial businesses). The portfolios in our GECAS and Energy Financial Services businesses are collateralized by commercial aircraft and operating assets in the global energy and water industries, respectively. Our Healthcare Equipment Finance portfolio is collateralized by equipment used in the healthcare industry and the Working Capital Solutions portfolio is substantially recourse to GE or insured. Both the Healthcare Equipment Finance and Working Capital Solutions portfolios are reported in the CLL segment. Substantially all of the Synchrony Financial portfolio consists of U.S. consumer credit card and sales finance receivables and are reported in the Consumer segment.

For purposes of the discussion that follows, "delinquent" receivables are those that are 30 days or more past due based on their contractual terms. Loans purchased at a discount are initially recorded at fair value and accrete interest income over their estimated lives based on reasonably estimable cash flows even if the underlying loans are contractually delinquent at acquisition. "Nonaccrual" financing receivables are those on which we have stopped accruing interest. We stop accruing interest at the earlier of the time at which collection of an account becomes doubtful or the account becomes 90 days past due, with the exception of consumer credit card accounts, for which we continue to accrue interest until the accounts are written off in the period that the account becomes 180 days past due. Recently restructured financing receivables are not considered delinquent when payments are brought current according to the restructured terms, but may remain classified as nonaccrual until there has been a period of satisfactory payment performance by the borrower and future payments are reasonably assured of collection.

Further information on the determination of the allowance for losses on financing receivables and the credit quality and categorization of our financing receivables is provided in Notes 5 and 18 to the consolidated financial statements.

(b)	The majority of our $0.3 billion of nonaccrual loans at September 30, 2015, are currently paying in accordance with the contractual terms. We continue to accrue interest on consumer credit cards until the accounts are written off in the period the account becomes 180 days past due.

(c)	Not meaningful.

2015 3Q FORM 10-Q PAGE 38

Financing receivables, before allowance for losses, decreased $39.4 billion from December 31, 2014, primarily as a result of reclassifications to financing receivables held for sale or assets of businesses held for sale (primarily Consumer) ($34.5 billion), write-offs ($5.6 billion) and the stronger U.S. dollar ($4.0 billion), partially offset by originations exceeding collections (which includes sales) ($5.8 billion).

Nonaccrual receivables decreased $1.7 billion from December 31, 2014, primarily due to reclassifications to financing receivables held for sale (including write-offs) or assets of businesses held for sale (primarily Consumer).

Allowance for losses decreased $0.6 billion from December 31, 2014, primarily as a result of write-offs on financing receivables reclassified to financing receivables held for sale and the transfer of that portion of the allowance for losses related to financing receivables reclassified to assets of businesses held for sale (primarily Consumer). The allowance for losses as a percent of total financing receivables increased from 3.2% at December 31, 2014 to 4.0% at September 30, 2015 reflecting decreases in both the allowance for losses and the overall financing receivables balance related to the financing receivables reclassified to financing receivables held for sale and assets of businesses held for sale as part of the GE Capital Exit Plan.

GECC FINANCING RECEIVABLES HELD FOR SALE

Financing receivables held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value, less cost to sell, and represent those financing receivables that management does not intend to hold for the foreseeable future. Subsequent declines in fair value are recognized in the period in which they occur. Valuations are primarily performed on a portfolio basis, except for commercial financing receivables which may be performed on an individual financing receivable basis. Interest income on financing receivables held for sale is accrued and subject to the nonaccrual policies described above. Because financing receivables held for sale are recognized at the lower of cost or fair value, less cost to sell, the allowance for losses and write-off policies do not apply to these financing receivables.

During the first quarter of 2015, we transferred all of our non-U.S. Consumer financing receivables to financing receivables held for sale or assets of businesses held for sale as a result of the GE Capital Exit Plan and the signing of an agreement to sell our consumer finance business in Australia and New Zealand.

The transfer of financing receivables to financing receivables held for sale and assets of businesses held for sale in the nine months ended September 30, 2015, totaled $29.0 billion and $5.5 billion, respectively. Prior to transferring the financing receivables to financing receivables held for sale we recognized a pre-tax provision for losses on financing receivables of $2.4 billion ($2.2 billion after-tax), to reduce the carrying value of the financing receivables to the lower of cost or fair value, less cost to sell, and wrote-off the associated balance of the allowance for losses of $2.9 billion to establish a new cost basis of the financing receivables held for sale at September 30, 2015.

For businesses held for sale, financing receivable balances of $5.5 billion and the related allowance for loan losses of $0.2 billion were reclassified to assets of businesses held for sale. The businesses held for sale were recorded at the lower of cost or fair value, less cost to sell.

A majority of the provision for losses on financing receivables recognized upon the transfer of financing receivables to financing receivables held for sale during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 relates to our Consumer non-U.S. residential mortgage portfolios in the U.K., France, Poland and Spain, which primarily comprise variable rate mortgages with a remaining weighted average maturity of more than ten years. We estimate that the effect on the provision for losses is largely attributable to credit loss exposures that are not incurred losses recognizable under GAAP but nevertheless affect fair value that would be determined by a market participant when pricing the portfolio.

As a result of the GE Capital Exit Plan and transfer of financing receivables to financing receivables held for sale or assets of businesses held for sale, nonaccrual receivables and impaired loan balances at December 31, 2014 were reduced by $1.2 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively. Loans held for sale are not reported as impaired, as these loans are recorded at lower of cost or fair value, less cost to sell.

Further information on financing receivables held for sale is provided in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements.

FINANCIAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

LIQUIDITY AND BORROWINGS

We maintain a strong focus on liquidity. At both GE and GECC we manage our liquidity to help provide access to sufficient funding to meet our business needs and financial obligations throughout business cycles.

Our liquidity and borrowing plans for GE and GECC are established within the context of our annual financial and strategic planning processes. At GE, our liquidity and funding plans take into account the liquidity necessary to fund our operating commitments, which include primarily purchase obligations for inventory and equipment, payroll and general expenses (including pension funding). We also take into account our capital allocation and growth objectives, including paying dividends, repurchasing shares, investing in research and development and acquiring industrial businesses. At GE, we rely primarily on cash generated through our operating activities, any dividend payments from GECC, and also have historically maintained a commercial paper program that we regularly use to fund operations in the U.S., principally within the quarters.

GECC relies on a diversified source of funding, including the unsecured term debt markets, the global commercial paper markets, deposits, secured funding, retail funding products, bank borrowings and securitizations to fund its balance sheet. We also rely on cash generated through collection of principal, interest and other payments on our existing portfolio of loans and leases as well as dispositions to fund our operating and interest expense costs. GECC's liquidity position is targeted to meet its obligations under both normal and stressed conditions. GECC establishes a funding plan annually that is based on the projected asset size and cash needs of the Company, which, over the past few years, has incorporated our strategy to reduce our ending net investment in GE Capital. In connection with the GE Capital Exit Plan, we do not intend to issue any incremental GECC unsecured term debt in the next five years. We expect to maintain an elevated liquidity position as we generate cash from asset sales, returning to more normalized levels in 2019. While we maintain elevated liquidity levels, we may engage in liability management actions, such as buying back debt, based on market and economic conditions.

Our 2015 GECC funding plan anticipates repayment of principal on outstanding short-term borrowings, including the current portion of long-term debt ($37.0 billion at December 31, 2014), principally through dispositions, asset sales and cash on hand. Long-term maturities and early redemptions were $12.9 billion in the third quarter of 2015.

We maintain a detailed liquidity policy for GECC that requires GECC to maintain a contingency funding plan. The liquidity policy defines GECC's liquidity risk tolerance under different stress scenarios based on its liquidity sources and also establishes procedures to escalate potential issues. We actively monitor GECC's access to funding markets and its liquidity profile through tracking external indicators and testing various stress scenarios. The contingency funding plan provides a framework for handling market disruptions and establishes escalation procedures in the event that such events or circumstances arise. GECC will continue to evaluate the need to modify the existing contingency funding plan due to the GE Capital Exit Plan.

On April 10, 2015, Moody's Investors Service (Moody's) downgraded the senior unsecured debt rating for GE to A1 from Aa3 following GE's April 10 announcement of the GE Capital Exit Plan. GE's P-1 short-term rating was affirmed. Moody's affirmed GECC's A1/P-1 ratings. The rating outlook for GE and GECC remains stable. On April 10, 2015, Standard & Poor's Rating Services (S&P) affirmed GE's AA+/A-1+ ratings and GECC's AA+/A-1+ ratings each with a stable outlook. On October 7, 2015, S&P revised its outlook on GE's credit rating to negative from stable. S&P affirmed GE's AA+/A-1+ ratings.

As part of the GE Capital Exit Plan, on September 21, 2015 GE Capital commenced private offers to exchange up to $30 billion of certain outstanding debt for new notes with maturities of six months, five years, ten years or twenty years. On October 19, 2015, given the high level of participation, the offering was increased by $6 billion with the aggregate principal amount of $36 billion of outstanding notes being tendered for exchange and settled on October 26, 2015. The new notes that were issued at closing are composed of $15.3 billion of 0.964% Six Month Notes due 2016, £0.8 billion of 1.363% Six Month Notes due 2016, $6.1 billion of 2.342% Notes due 2020, $2.0 billion of 3.373% Notes due 2025 and $11.5 billion of 4.418% Notes due 2035. Of the $16.2 billion exchanged into the Six Month Notes, $1.3 billion is in short term borrowings at September 30, 2015. GECC will continue to evaluate the opportunity to repurchase debt while maintaining our liquidity at the levels communicated as part of the GE Capital Exit Plan. The new notes have been fully, irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed by GE.

On May 28, 2015, GE issued €3,150 million senior unsecured debt, composed of €650 million of Floating Rate Notes due 2020, €1,250 million of 1.250% Notes due 2023 and €1,250 million of 1.875% Notes due 2027. On October 9, 2015, $2.0 billion of long-term debt issued by GE matured.

LIQUIDITY SOURCES

In addition to GE cash of $16.8 billion at September 30, 2015, GECC maintained liquidity sources of $97.0 billion that consisted of cash and equivalents of $82.3 billion, high-quality, liquid investments of $3.2 billion and cash and equivalents of $11.5 billion classified as discontinued operations and businesses held for sale. Additionally, we have $46.0 billion of committed unused credit lines.

GE(a)	$	16.8	U.S.	$	37.1
GECC(b)		82.3	Non-U.S.(c)		62.0

(a)

At September 30, 2015, $2.4 billion of GE cash and equivalents was held in countries with currency controls that may restrict the transfer of funds to the U.S. or limit our ability to transfer funds to the U.S. without incurring substantial costs. These funds are available to fund operations and growth in these countries and we do not currently anticipate a need to transfer these funds to the U.S.

(b)	At September 30, 2015, GECC cash and equivalents of about $17.0 billion were in regulated banks and insurance entities and were subject to regulatory restrictions.

(c)

Of this amount at September 30, 2015, $11.3 billion was considered indefinitely reinvested. Indefinitely reinvested cash held outside of the U.S. is available to fund operations and other growth of non-U.S. subsidiaries; it is also available to fund our needs in the U.S. on a short-term basis through short-term loans, without being subject to U.S. tax. Under the Internal Revenue Code, these loans are permitted to be outstanding for 30 days or less and the total of all such loans is required to be outstanding for less than 60 days during the year. If we were to repatriate indefinitely reinvested cash held outside the U.S., we would be subject to additional U.S. income taxes and foreign withholding taxes.

GECC commercial paper maturities have historically been funded principally through new commercial paper issuances and at GE are substantially repaid before quarter-end using indefinitely reinvested overseas cash, which as discussed above, is available for use in the U.S. on a short-term basis without being subject to U.S. tax. GECC commercial paper borrowings as of September 30, 2015 were $12.9 billion. As announced on April 10, 2015, GECC is targeting to reduce the outstanding commercial paper to approximately $5 billion by the end of 2015.

We securitize financial assets as an alternative source of funding. During the first nine months of 2015, we completed $2.1 billion of non-recourse issuances and $5.2 billion of non-recourse borrowings matured. At September 30, 2015, consolidated non-recourse securitization borrowings were $16.2 billion.

We have nine deposit-taking banks outside of the U.S., five of which are classified as discontinued operations, and two deposit-taking banks in the U.S. – Synchrony Bank (formerly GE Capital Retail Bank), a Federal Savings Bank (FSB), and GE Capital Bank, an industrial bank (IB), which is also classified as discontinued operations. The FSB and IB currently issue certificates of deposit (CDs) in maturity terms up to 10 years.

	Funding secured by real estate, aircraft and other collateral		5.0
	Bank unsecured		5.4

As a matter of general practice, we routinely evaluate the economic impact of calling debt instruments where GECC has the right to exercise a call. In determining whether to call debt, we consider the economic benefit to GECC of calling debt, the effect of calling debt on GECC's liquidity profile and other factors. During 2015, we called $0.6 billion of long-term debt.

INCOME MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT AND GE GUARANTEE OF CERTAIN GECC DEBT

GE provides implicit and explicit support to GECC through commitments, capital contributions and operating support. As part of the GE Capital Exit Plan, on April 10, 2015, GE and GECC entered into an amendment to their existing financial support agreement. Under this amendment (the Amendment), the Company has provided a full and unconditional guarantee (the Guarantee) of the payment of principal and interest on all tradable senior and subordinated outstanding long-term debt securities and all commercial paper issued or guaranteed by GECC identified in the Amendment. In the aggregate, the Guarantee applied to approximately $184 billion of GECC debt as of September 30, 2015. The Guarantee replaced the requirement that the Company make certain income maintenance payments to GECC in certain circumstances. GECC's U.S. public indentures were concurrently amended to provide the full and unconditional guarantee by the Company set forth in the Guarantee.

STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS - NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2015

CONSOLIDATED CASH FLOWS

We evaluate our cash flow performance by reviewing our industrial (non-financial services) businesses and financial services businesses separately. Cash from operating activities (CFOA) is the principal source of cash generation for our industrial businesses. The industrial businesses also have liquidity available via the public capital markets. Our financial services businesses use a variety of financial resources to meet our capital needs. Cash for financial services businesses is primarily provided from the issuance of term debt and commercial paper in the public and private markets and deposits, as well as financing receivables collections, sales and securitizations.

GE CASH FLOWS – NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30

OPERATING CASH FLOWS		INVESTING CASH FLOWS		FINANCING CASH FLOWS

2014	2015	2014	2015	2014	2015

With respect to GE CFOA, we believe that it is useful to supplement our GE Statement of Cash Flows and to examine in a broader context the business activities that provide and require cash.

The most significant source of cash in GE CFOA is customer-related activities, the largest of which is collecting cash resulting from product or services sales. See the Intercompany Transactions and Eliminations section for information related to transactions between GE and GECC. The most significant operating use of cash is to pay our suppliers, employees, tax authorities and others for a wide range of material and services. Dividends from GECC, including special dividends, represent the distribution of a portion of GECC retained earnings, and are distinct from cash from continuing operations within the financial services businesses. The amounts included in GE CFOA are the total dividends, including special dividends from excess capital.

2015 – 2014 COMMENTARY

GE cash from operating activities decreased $0.6 billion primarily due to the following:



A decrease in operating cash collections of $0.1 billion to $76.6 billion in 2015. This decrease is consistent with comparable GE segment revenue decreases from sales of goods and services of $0.7 billion and lower progress collections of $0.5 billion. The decreases were partially offset by a $0.5 billion payment from a settlement related to the NBCU transaction and prepayments on service contracts of $0.2 billion.

	A decrease in operating cash payments of $1.1 billion to $70.6 billion in 2015. This decrease is primarily driven by decreased spend on inventory in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared with that of 2014.

	Further, GECC paid quarterly dividends of $0.5 billion and no special dividends to GE in the nine months ended September 30, 2015. GECC paid quarterly dividends of $1.5 billion and special dividends of $0.7 billion to GE in the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

GE cash used for investing activities decreased $1.5 billion primarily due to the following:

	Lower business acquisition activity of $2.0 billion primarily driven by the 2014 acquisitions of certain Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. life-science businesses for $1.1 billion, Cameron's Reciprocating Compression Division for $0.6 billion and API Healthcare (API) for $0.3 billion.

	This is partially offset by $0.4 billion lower proceeds from principal business dispositions.

2015 3Q FORM 10-Q PAGE 43

GE cash used for financing activities decreased $3.5 billion primarily due to the following:

	A decrease in net repurchases of GE shares for treasury in accordance with our share repurchase program of $2.0 billion.

	A decrease in net change in borrowings (maturities of 90 days or less) of $1.4 billion.

	Further, GE issued $3.4 billion and $3.0 billion of unsecured notes in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

	These decreases were partially offset by an increase in the dividends paid to shareowners of $0.3 billion.

2015 – 2014 COMMENTARY:

GECC cash from operating activities decreased $2.8 billion primarily due to the following:

	A decrease in net cash collateral activity with counterparties on derivative contracts of $2.2 billion.

GECC cash from investing activities increased $48.6 billion primarily due to the following:

	In 2015, we closed the sale of certain of our Real Estate businesses and CLL businesses for proceeds of $25.6 billion and $16.8 billion, respectively.

	A net increase in financing receivables activity of $6.1 billion driven by higher net collections (which includes sales) of financing receivables.

	The 2014 payment of our obligation to the buyer of GE Money Japan for $1.7 billion.

	These increases were partially offset by the 2015 acquisition of Milestone Aviation Group, resulting in net cash paid of $1.7 billion.

GECC cash used for financing activities increased $33.1 billion primarily due to the following:

	Higher net repayments of borrowings of $29.4 billion driven primarily by a decrease in issuances of senior unsecured notes and an increase in short-term debt maturities.

	A decrease in deposits at our banks of $1.6 billion.

	Proceeds received from the initial public offering of Synchrony Financial of $2.8 billion in 2014.

	These increases were partially offset by GECC paying quarterly dividends of $0.5 billion and no special dividends to GE in the nine months ended September 30, 2015. GECC paid quarterly dividends of $1.5 billion and special dividends of $0.7 billion to GE in the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

INTERCOMPANY TRANSACTIONS AND ELIMINATIONS

Effects of transactions between related companies are made on an arms-length basis, are eliminated and consist primarily of GECC dividends to GE; GE customer receivables sold to GECC; GECC services for trade receivables management and material procurement; buildings and equipment (including automobiles) leased between GE and GECC; information technology (IT) and other services sold to GECC by GE; aircraft engines manufactured by GE that are installed on aircraft purchased by GECC from third-party producers for lease to others; and various investments, loans and allocations of GE corporate overhead costs.

2015 3Q FORM 10-Q PAGE 44

GE sells customer receivables to GECC in part to fund the growth of our industrial businesses. These transactions can result in cash generation or cash use. During any given period, GE receives cash from the sale of receivables to GECC. It also foregoes collection of cash on receivables sold. The incremental amount of cash received from sales of receivables in excess of the cash GE would have otherwise collected had those receivables not been sold, represents the cash generated or used in the period relating to this activity. The incremental cash generated in GE CFOA from selling these receivables to GECC decreased GE's CFOA by $0.4 billion and increased GE's CFOA by $0.2 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

See Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q Report for additional information about the eliminations of intercompany transactions between GE and GECC.

EXPOSURES

GECC SELECTED EUROPEAN EXPOSURES

At September 30, 2015, we had $28.1 billion in financing receivables to consumer and commercial customers in Europe, including $22.1 billion classified as financing receivables held for sale, and $6.0 billion classified as assets held for investment. The GECC financing receivables portfolio in Europe is well diversified across European geographies and customers. Approximately 88% of the portfolio is secured by collateral. Several European countries, including Spain, Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece and Hungary (focus countries), have been subject to credit deterioration due to weaknesses in their economic and fiscal situations. The carrying value of GECC funded exposures in these focus countries and in the rest of Europe comprised the following at September 30, 2015.

2015 3Q FORM 10-Q PAGE 45

We manage counterparty exposure, including credit risk, on an individual counterparty basis. We place defined risk limits around each obligor and review our risk exposure on the basis of both the primary and parent obligor, as well as the issuer of securities held as collateral. These limits are adjusted on an ongoing basis based on our continuing assessment of the credit risk of the obligor or issuer. In setting our counterparty risk limits, we focus on high-quality credits and diversification through spread of risk in an effort to actively manage our overall exposure. We actively monitor each exposure against these limits and take appropriate action when we believe that risk limits have been exceeded or there are excess risk concentrations. Our collateral position and ability to work out problem accounts have historically mitigated our actual loss experience. Delinquency experience has been relatively stable in our European commercial and consumer platforms in the aggregate, and we actively monitor and take action to reduce exposures where appropriate. Uncertainties surrounding European markets could have an impact on the judgments and estimates used in determining the carrying value of these assets.

VENEZUELA

The results of our Venezuelan businesses have been reported under highly inflationary accounting since the beginning of 2010, at which time the functional currency of our Venezuelan entities was changed from the bolivar to the U.S. dollar.

Our activities related to Venezuela generated revenues of less than one percent of consolidated revenues, consisting of both exports to and operations within the country. The majority of these revenues are denominated in U.S. dollars and euro but we also transact in bolivars for certain businesses.

For our operations in Venezuela, determining the appropriate exchange rate for remeasurement of bolivar-denominated net monetary assets into U.S. dollars continues to be subject to uncertainty. Through February 2015, the Venezuelan government operated three different exchange mechanisms: CENCOEX (the official exchange mechanism), SICAD1 and SICAD 2, subsequently it merged the SICAD mechanisms and introduced a new mechanism, the Marginal Currency System (SIMADI). This mechanism is intended to operate with fewer restrictions and its exchange rate on September 30, 2015 was approximately 199 bolivars per U.S. dollar compared to SICAD at 13.5 bolivars per U.S. dollar.

At the end of each period, we remeasure the net monetary assets of our Venezuela entities using the rate at which we expect them to be settled, including through the payment of dividends. During the period ended September 30, 2015, we did not access the SIMADI market to obtain U.S. dollars and have continued to use the SICAD exchange rate to measure our net monetary assets.

Significant uncertainty persists regarding the exchange mechanisms in Venezuela, including the nature of transactions that are eligible to transact in the three recognized mechanisms that are currently available as well as the impact on non-bolivar credit exposures and recoverable amounts of bolivar denominated non-monetary assets. We are continuing to evaluate rates other than SICAD for use in remeasurement of our Venezuelan net monetary assets as well as the implications of economic and exchange-related conditions for our business activities in Venezuela.

Net monetary assets subject to remeasurement were approximately $82 million at September 30, 2015, including approximately $10 million in bolivar-denominated cash and cash equivalents and approximately $41 million related to a non-consolidated investment in our Appliances business, which is held for sale. In addition to our bolivar-denominated net monetary assets, we also have non-bolivar credit exposures of approximately $325 million at September 30, 2015 and recoverable amounts of non-monetary assets in Venezuela of approximately $31 million at September 30, 2015, which consists principally of inventory and property, plant and equipment.

OIL & GAS INDUSTRY

The sharp decline experienced in oil prices and the prospect of a continuation of prevailing oil prices could have mixed implications for the industries and countries in which we compete. In general, lower oil prices are expected to stimulate growth in oil importing countries while causing negative economic effects in many energy-exporting countries. Our Oil & Gas business has experienced declines in orders, project commencement delays and pricing pressures. In response to this uncertain industry outlook, we continue to execute cost actions with an increased focus on execution and productivity. We expect that relatively low oil prices will benefit our other businesses through lower direct material and other variable costs as well as through the expected stimulus-effect on growth in the U.S. and in other economies that rely on energy imports, including Europe, Japan and India.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

We utilized significant estimates in the preparation of the third quarter financial statements.

In addition to the discussion below on estimates used to determine the fair value of businesses and assets held for sale, please refer to the Critical Accounting Estimates section within MD&A and Note 1, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements of our Form 8-K Report filed on August 7, 2015 for a discussion of our accounting policies and the critical accounting estimates we use to: assess the recoverability of assets such as financing receivables and goodwill; determine the fair value of financial assets; and determine our provision for income taxes and recoverability of deferred tax assets.

BUSINESSES AND ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

Businesses held for sale represent components that meet the accounting requirements to be classified as held for sale and are presented as single asset and liability amounts in our financial statements with a valuation allowance, if necessary, to recognize the net carrying amount at the lower of cost or fair value less cost to sell. Financing receivables that no longer qualify to be presented as held for investment must be classified as held for sale and recognized in our financial statements at the lower of cost or fair value, less cost to sell, with that amount representing a new cost basis at the date of transfer.

As previously discussed, as a result of the GE Capital Exit Plan, management has committed to reduce the size of its financial services businesses through the sale of most of the assets of GECC over the following 24 months. As a result, certain GECC businesses met the criteria to be classified as businesses held for sale and certain financing receivables were required to be recognized as held for sale at September 30, 2015.

The determination of fair value for businesses and portfolios of financing receivables involves significant judgments and assumptions. Development of estimates of fair values in this circumstance is complex and is dependent upon, among other factors, the nature of the potential sales transaction (for example, asset sale versus sale of legal entity), composition of assets and/or businesses in the disposal group, the comparability of the disposal group to market transactions, negotiations with third party purchasers etc. Such factors bear directly on the range of potential fair values and the selection of the best estimates. Key assumptions were developed based on market observable data and, in the absence of such data, internal information that is consistent with what market participants would use in a hypothetical transaction as of September 30, 2015.

We review all businesses and assets held for sale each reporting period to determine whether the existing carrying amounts are fully recoverable in comparison to estimated fair values.

Further information is provided in Notes 2 and 14 to the consolidated financial statements of this Form 10-Q Report.

OTHER ITEMS

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective. In July 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of this standard, with a revised effective date for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, although not prior to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or modified retrospective (cumulative effect) transition method. We are evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. We have not yet selected a transition method and continue to evaluate the effect of the standard on our ongoing financial reporting.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. The ASU amends the consolidation guidance for VIEs and general partners' investments in limited partnerships and modifies the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are VIEs or voting interest entities. The ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect of the ASU on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. While we anticipate additional disclosures, we do not expect the ASU to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

2015 3Q FORM 10-Q PAGE 48

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting and concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2015.

On April 10, 2015 we announced that, as part of the GE Capital Exit Plan, we plan to dispose of a substantial portion of GE Capital's operations over the 2015-2017 timeframe. This plan will affect the operation of GE Capital's framework of internal controls over financial reporting as dispositions and other restructuring activities are executed. During the transition period, we have put in place enhanced procedures and controls to monitor and maintain our system of internal controls over financial reporting. We will continue to assess the effect of the plan on GE Capital's control environment and will make adjustments as appropriate.

REGULATIONS AND SUPERVISION

GECC is a regulated savings and loan holding company and in 2011 became subject to Federal Reserve Board (FRB) supervision under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (DFA). In 2013, the U.S. Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC) designated GECC as a nonbank systemically important financial institution (nonbank SIFI) under the DFA. As a result of this change in supervision and designation, stricter prudential regulatory standards and supervision apply to GECC. On July 20, 2015 the Federal Reserve published a final order applying enhanced prudential standards to GECC as a nonbank SIFI.

The final order staggers the application of the enhanced prudential standards with the first set of standards becoming applicable on January 1, 2016 and the second set becoming applicable on January 1, 2018. Beginning on January 1, 2016 GECC will be subject to the standardized approach for calculating capital adequacy. GECC will also be subject to a Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) of 90% until December 31, 2016 at which time GECC will be subject to a 100% LCR coverage.

If GECC is still a nonbank SIFI on January 1, 2018 the second set of enhanced prudential standards will apply. These standards include the application of the Federal Reserve's capital plan rule, stress testing rules, enhanced leverage ratio requirements, enhanced governance requirements, daily liquidity calculations, additional reporting requirements and a market terms requirement for transactions between GE and GECC.

While the enhanced prudential standards do not subject GECC to the Federal Reserve's capital plan rule applicable to large bank holding companies until the capital planning cycle beginning January 1, 2018, GECC conducts, among others, an annual review of their capital adequacy prior to establishing a plan for dividends to us, the parent. This review is based on a forward-looking assessment of their material enterprise risks and involves the consideration of a number of factors. This analysis also includes an assessment of their capital and liquidity levels, as well as incorporating risk management and governance considerations. The most recent capital adequacy review, which contemplated the GE Capital Exit Plan, was approved by the GECC board of directors and the GE Board of Directors Risk Committee in October 2015. While a savings and loan holding company and nonbank SIFI like GECC is currently not required to obtain FRB approval to pay a dividend, it may not, under FRB regulations, conduct its operations in an unsafe or unsound manner. The FRB has articulated factors that it expects boards of directors of bank holding companies and savings and loan holding companies to consider in determining whether to pay a dividend.

As a nonbank SIFI, GECC is also required to submit an annual resolution plan to the FRB and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). GECC submitted its first resolution plan to the FRB and FDIC on June 30, 2014 and feedback was provided on July 28, 2015. GECC's second Resolution Plan is due December 31, 2015, and we will work to address the July 28, 2015 feedback. GECC's resolution plan describes how GECC could be resolved under existing insolvency regimes in a manner that mitigates potential disruption to the U.S. financial system and the global financial markets without the use of government support or taxpayer funds. If the FRB and FDIC determine that their resolution plan is deficient, the DFA authorizes the FRB and FDIC to impose more stringent capital, leverage or liquidity requirements on GECC or restrict their growth or activities until they submit a plan remedying the deficiencies. If the FRB and FDIC ultimately determine that GECC has not adequately addressed the deficiencies, they could order GECC to divest assets or operations in order to facilitate their orderly resolution in the event of their failure.

GECC is also subject to the Volcker Rule, which U.S. regulators finalized on December 10, 2013. The rule prohibits companies that are affiliated with U.S. insured depository institutions from engaging in "proprietary trading" or acquiring or retaining ownership interest in, or sponsoring or engaging in certain transactions with, a "hedge fund" or a "private equity fund." Proprietary trading and fund investing, as prohibited by the rule, are not core activities for GECC. Once GE no longer controls GE Capital Bank or Synchrony Bank, and GECC’s designation by the FSOC as a nonbank SIFI has been rescinded, the Volcker Rule will no longer apply to GECC or its affiliates.

As discussed in Management's Discussion and Analysis, on April 10, 2015, the company announced the GE Capital Exit Plan to reduce the size of its financial services businesses. GE has discussed the GE Capital Exit Plan, aspects of which are subject to regulatory review and approval, with its regulators and staff of the FSOC and will work closely with these bodies to take the actions necessary over time to terminate the FSOC's designation of GECC (and the new intermediate holding company, as applicable) as a nonbank SIFI.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The following information supplements and amends our discussion set forth under "Legal Proceedings" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2015.

At October 29, 2015, there are 14 lawsuits relating to pending mortgage loan repurchase claims in which WMC, our U.S. mortgage business that we sold in 2007, is a party. The adverse parties in these cases are securitization trustees or parties claiming to act on their behalf. While the alleged claims for relief vary from case to case, the complaints and counterclaims in these actions generally assert claims for breach of contract, indemnification, and/or declaratory judgment, and seek specific performance (repurchase) and/or monetary damages. Beginning in the fourth quarter 2013, WMC entered into settlements that reduced its exposure on claims asserted in certain securitizations, and the claim amounts reported herein reflect the effect of these settlements.

Five WMC cases are pending in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut. Four of these cases were initiated in 2012, and one was initiated in the third quarter 2013. Deutsche Bank National Trust Company (Deutsche Bank) is the adverse party in four cases, and Law Debenture Trust Company of New York (Law Debenture) is the adverse party in one case. The Deutsche Bank complaints assert claims on approximately $4,300 million of mortgage loans and seek to recover damages in excess of approximately $1,800 million. The Law Debenture complaint asserts claims on approximately $800 million of mortgage loans, and alleges losses on these loans in excess of approximately $425 million. On March 31, 2014, the District Court denied WMC's motions to dismiss these cases.

Four WMC cases are pending in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota against US Bank National Association (US Bank), one of which was initiated by WMC seeking declaratory judgment. Three of these cases were filed in 2012, and one was filed in 2011. The Minnesota cases involve claims on approximately $800 million of mortgage loans and do not specify the amount of damages sought. In September 2013, the District Court granted in part and denied in part WMC's motions to dismiss or for summary judgment in these cases. On September 8, 2014, US Bank filed a petition for instructions in the administration of trusts in Minnesota state court seeking authorization and instruction for US Bank to implement the terms of a settlement agreement reached with WMC to compromise, settle, and release all claims arising out of the securitizations at issue in these four lawsuits. In February 2015, two bondholders filed objections to the proposed settlement, and in response the court has scheduled an evidentiary hearing for November 2015. In light of the state court action seeking approval of the proposed settlement, the District Court entered orders in April 2015 staying further proceedings in the four cases until August 2015.

Four cases are pending against WMC in New York State Supreme Court, all of which were initiated by securitization trustees or securities administrators. These cases involve, in the aggregate, claims involving approximately $4,559 million of mortgage loans. One of these lawsuits was initiated by Deutsche Bank in the second quarter 2013 and names as defendants WMC and Barclays Bank PLC. It involves claims against WMC on approximately $1,000 million of mortgage loans and does not specify the amount of damages sought. The second case, in which the plaintiff is The Bank of New York Mellon (BNY), was initiated in the fourth quarter 2012 and names as defendants WMC, J.P. Morgan Mortgage Acquisition Corporation and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. BNY asserts claims on approximately $1,300 million of mortgage loans, and seeks to recover damages in excess of $650 million. The third case was initiated by BNY in November 2013 and names as defendants WMC, J.P. Morgan Mortgage Acquisition Corporation and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. In this case, BNY asserts claims on approximately $1,300 million of mortgage loans, and seeks to recover damages in excess of $600 million. On September 18, 2015, the court granted defendants' motion to dismiss this case on statute of limitations grounds, and the plaintiff filed a notice of appeal on October 21, 2015. The fourth case was filed in October 2014 and names as defendants WMC, J.P. Morgan Mortgage Acquisition Corporation and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. The plaintiff, BNY, asserts claims on approximately $959 million of mortgage loans and seeks to recover damages in excess of $475 million.

At September 30, 2015, two cases were pending against WMC in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. One case, in which the plaintiff is BNY, was filed in the third quarter 2012. In the second quarter 2013, BNY filed an amended complaint in which it asserts claims on approximately $900 million of mortgage loans, and seeks to recover damages in excess of $378 million. In September 2013, the District Court denied WMC's motion to dismiss. On September 18, 2014, the District Court issued an order directing the parties to participate in settlement discussions before a private mediator or the assigned magistrate judge. Following this mediation, the parties reached a settlement in principle on the claims arising from a portion of the loans held in the trust, and, as a result, on February 9, 2015 the District Court stayed the case as to these claims. This settlement became effective September 16, 2015. On September 18, 2015, following a court-ordered mediation before the assigned magistrate judge, the parties reached a settlement in principle on the remaining claims in the case, and the securitization trustee declared this settlement effective October 20, 2015. The second case was initiated by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), which filed a summons with notice in the fourth quarter 2012. In the second quarter 2013, Deutsche Bank, in its role as securitization trustee of the trust at issue in the case, intervened as a plaintiff and filed a complaint relating to approximately $1,300 million of loans and alleging losses in excess of approximately $100 million. In December 2013, the District Court issued an order denying WMC's motion to dismiss. In February 2015, the District Court on its own motion requested that the parties re-brief several issues raised by WMC's motion to dismiss. On July 10, 2015, the District Court entered an order dismissing the lawsuit as time-barred under the applicable statute of limitations. Deutsche Bank filed a notice of appeal from this order of dismissal on August 13, 2015.

The amounts of the claims at issue in these cases (discussed above) reflect the purchase price or unpaid principal balances of the mortgage loans at issue at the time of purchase and do not give effect to pay downs, accrued interest or fees, or potential recoveries based upon the underlying collateral. All of the mortgage loans involved in these lawsuits are included in WMC's reported claims at September 30, 2015. See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.

As previously reported, in 2000, GE and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) entered into a consent decree relating to PCB cleanup of the Housatonic River (the "River") in Massachusetts. In 2012, the EPA issued a status report describing potential conceptual approaches to a 10-mile stretch of the river downstream from a previously remediated area. In September 2015, the EPA released an intended final decision for the so called "Rest of River". This is not the EPA's final decision, rather, the consent decree provides for discussions and a detailed dispute resolution process between GE and EPA, after which the EPA will issue its final decision. As of September 30, 2015, and based on its assessment of current facts and circumstances, GE believes it has recorded adequate reserves to cover future obligations associated with an expected final remedy.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements represent the consolidation of General Electric Company (the Company) and all companies that we directly or indirectly control, either through majority ownership or otherwise. See Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements of our Form 8-K filed on August 7, 2015 which discusses our consolidation and financial statement presentation. As used in this report on Form 10-Q (Report), "GE" represents the adding together of all affiliated companies except General Electric Capital Corporation (GECC or Financial Services), whose continuing operations are presented on a one-line basis; GECC consists of General Electric Capital Corporation and all of its affiliates; and "Consolidated" represents the adding together of GE and GECC with the effects of transactions between the two eliminated. Unless otherwise indicated, we refer to the caption revenues and other income simply as "revenues" throughout this Form 10-Q.

We have reclassified certain prior-period amounts to conform to the current-period presentation. Effective September 30, 2015, certain columns and rows may not add due to the use of rounded numbers. Percentages presented are calculated from the underlying numbers in millions. Unless otherwise indicated, information in these notes to the consolidated financial statements relates to continuing operations.

THE GE CAPITAL EXIT PLAN

In the nine months ended September 30, 2015, GE recorded $21,061 million of after-tax charges related to the GE Capital Exit Plan, including $362 million of after-tax charges recorded in the third quarter of 2015, primarily exit-related charges in our CLL business, partially offset by income associated with operations in CLL and Real Estate. A description of after-tax charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 is provided below.

	$9,756 million of net loss primarily related to the planned disposition of the Real Estate business and most of the CLL business, which is recorded in discontinued operations under the caption "Earnings (loss) from discontinued operations, net of taxes" in the Statement of Earnings.



$6,209 million of tax expense related to expected repatriation of foreign earnings and write-off of deferred tax assets, of which $6,057 million is reported in GECC's Corporate component and $152 million is reported in our Consumer business all recorded in continuing operations under the caption "Benefit (provision) for income taxes" in the Statement of Earnings.



$4,666 million of net asset impairments due to shortened hold periods, of which $3,151 million is recorded in continuing operations in our Consumer business primarily under the captions "Provisions for losses on financing receivables" and "Revenues from services" in the Statement of Earnings and $1,515 million is recorded in discontinued operations in our CLL business under the caption "Earnings (loss) from discontinued operations, net of taxes" in the Statement of Earnings.



$430 million of restructuring and other charges, of which $337 million is recorded in continuing operations in GECC's Corporate component under the caption "Other costs and expenses" in the Statement of Earnings and $93 million is recorded in discontinued operations in our CLL business under the caption "Earnings (loss) from discontinued operations, net of taxes" in the Statement of Earnings.

2015 3Q FORM 10-Q PAGE 64

As part of the GE Capital Exit Plan, the Company and GECC entered into an amendment to their existing financial support agreement. Under this amendment (the Amendment), the Company has provided a full and unconditional guarantee (the Guarantee) of the payment of principal and interest on all tradable senior and subordinated outstanding long-term debt securities and all commercial paper issued or guaranteed by GECC identified in the Amendment. In the aggregate, the Guarantee applied to $183,670 million of GECC debt as of September 30, 2015. See Note 8. The Guarantee replaced the requirement that the Company make certain income maintenance payments to GECC in certain circumstances. GECC's U.S. public indentures were concurrently amended to provide the full and unconditional guarantee by the Company set forth in the Guarantee.

See Notes 2 and 7 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.

INTERIM PERIOD PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements and notes thereto are unaudited. These statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) that we considered necessary to present a fair statement of our results of operations, financial position and cash flows. The results reported in these consolidated financial statements should not be regarded as necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2014 consolidated financial statements. Effective for the first quarter of 2015, the Company is following a calendar quarter. Previously, we established interim quarterly closing dates using a fiscal calendar, which required our businesses to close their books on either a Saturday or Sunday, depending on the business.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In addition to the policies referenced in our 2014 Form 10-K Report and Form 8-K filed on August 7, 2015, we have supplemented the discussion of our significant accounting policies and critical accounting estimates to describe the estimates used to determine the fair value of businesses and assets held for sale as follows.

BUSINESSES AND ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

Businesses held for sale represent components that meet accounting requirements to be classified as held for sale and are presented as single asset and liability amounts in our financial statements with a valuation allowance, if necessary, to recognize the net carrying amount at the lower of cost or fair value, less cost to sell. Financing receivables that no longer qualify to be presented as held for investment must be classified as held for sale and recognized in our financial statements at the lower of cost or fair value, less cost to sell, with that amount representing a new cost basis at the date of transfer.

We review all businesses and assets held for sale each reporting period to determine whether the existing carrying amounts are fully recoverable in comparison to estimated fair values.

2015 3Q FORM 10-Q PAGE 65

NOTE 2. BUSINESSES HELD FOR SALE, FINANCING RECEIVABLES HELD FOR SALE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

NBCU

As previously disclosed, Comcast Corporation was obligated to share with us potential tax savings associated with its purchase of our interest in NBCU LLC. During the second quarter of 2015, we recognized $450 million of pre-tax income related to the settlement of this obligation.

ASSETS AND LIABILITIES OF BUSINESSES HELD FOR SALE

In the third quarter of 2015, we signed an agreement to sell our Intelligent Platforms Embedded Systems Products business within our Energy Management segment, with assets of $285 million and liabilities of $39 million to Veritas Capital for approximately $515 million. The transaction remains subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals, and is targeted to close in 2015.

In the first quarter of 2015, we signed an agreement to sell our consumer finance business in Australia and New Zealand (ANZ Consumer Lending) for approximately 6,800 million Australian dollars and 1,400 million New Zealand dollars, respectively. On May 29, 2015, we sold a portion of the Australian business for gross proceeds of $671 million. As of September 30, 2015, ANZ Consumer Lending had assets and liabilities of $4,917 million and $260 million, respectively. The sale is targeted to close in 2015 with expected proceeds of approximately 6,000 million Australian dollars and 1,400 million New Zealand dollars. The transactions remain subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.

In the fourth quarter of 2014, we signed an agreement to sell our Signaling business within our Transportation segment, with assets of $296 million and liabilities of $138 million to Alstom for approximately $800 million, and our consumer finance business Budapest Bank, to Hungary's government. On June 29, 2015 we completed the sale of Budapest Bank for proceeds of $700 million. The Signaling business transaction is targeted to close in November 2015 in conjunction with the Alstom transaction.

In the third quarter of 2014, we signed an agreement to sell our Appliances business with assets of $2,801 million and liabilities of $1,576 million to Electrolux for approximately $3,300 million. On July 1, 2015, we were notified that the Department of Justice had initiated court proceedings seeking to enjoin the sale of Appliances to Electrolux. Electrolux and GE intend to defend the proposed transaction.

GECC FINANCING RECEIVABLES HELD FOR SALE

In the first quarter of 2015, in connection with the GE Capital Exit Plan, we committed to sell all of our non-U.S. Consumer financing receivables. As a result, we transferred these financing receivables to held for sale and recognized a pre-tax provision for losses on financing receivables of $2,405 million ($2,197 million after tax) and wrote-off the associated balance of the allowance for loan losses of $2,859 million to reduce the carrying value of the financing receivables to the lower of cost or fair value, less cost to sell.

WMC

During the fourth quarter of 2007, we completed the sale of WMC, our U.S. mortgage business. WMC substantially discontinued all new loan originations by the second quarter of 2007, and is not a loan servicer. In connection with the sale, WMC retained certain representation and warranty obligations related to loans sold to third parties prior to the disposal of the business and contractual obligations to repurchase previously sold loans that had an early payment default. All claims received by WMC for early payment default have either been resolved or are no longer being pursued.

The remaining active claims have been brought by securitization trustees or administrators seeking recovery from WMC for alleged breaches of representations and warranties on mortgage loans that serve as collateral for residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS). At September 30, 2015, such claims consisted of $3,468 million of individual claims generally submitted before the filing of a lawsuit (compared to $3,694 million at December 31, 2014) and $8,411 million of additional claims asserted against WMC in litigation without making a prior claim (Litigation Claims) (compared to $9,225 million at December 31, 2014). The total amount of these claims, $11,879 million, reflects the purchase price or unpaid principal balances of the loans at the time of purchase and does not give effect to pay downs or potential recoveries based upon the underlying collateral, which in many cases are substantial, nor to accrued interest or fees. As of September 30, 2015, these amounts do not include approximately $426 million of repurchase claims relating to alleged breaches of representations that are not in litigation and that are beyond the applicable statute of limitations. WMC believes that repurchase claims brought based upon representations and warranties made more than six years before WMC was notified of the claim would be disallowed in legal proceedings under applicable law and the June 11, 2015 decision of the New York Court of Appeals in ACE Securities Corp. v. DB Structured Products, Inc., on the statute of limitations period governing such claims.

Reserves related to repurchase claims made against WMC were $832 million at September 30, 2015, reflecting a net increase to reserves in the three months ended September 30, 2015 of $7 million due to incremental provisions net of settlements. The reserve estimate takes into account recent settlement activity and is based upon WMC's evaluation of the remaining exposures as a percentage of estimated lifetime mortgage loan losses within the pool of loans supporting each securitization for which timely claims have been asserted in litigation against WMC. Settlements in prior periods reduced WMC's exposure on claims asserted in certain securitizations and the claim amounts reported above give effect to these settlements.

Given the significant litigation activity and WMC's continuing efforts to resolve the lawsuits involving claims made against WMC, it is difficult to assess whether future losses will be consistent with WMC's past experience. Adverse changes to WMC's assumptions supporting the reserve may result in an increase to these reserves. WMC estimates a range of reasonably possible loss from $0 to approximately $500 million over its recorded reserve at September 30, 2015. This estimate involves significant judgment and may not reflect the range of uncertainties and unpredictable outcomes inherent in litigation, including WMC litigation discussed in Legal Proceedings and potential changes in WMC's legal strategy. This estimate excludes any possible loss associated with an adverse court decision on the applicable statute of limitations, as WMC is unable at this time to develop such a meaningful estimate.

At September 30, 2015, there were 15 lawsuits involving claims made against WMC arising from alleged breaches of representations and warranties on mortgage loans included in 14 securitizations. WMC reached a settlement in principle on one of these lawsuits in the third quarter, and the settlement became effective October 20, 2015. The adverse parties in these cases are securitization trustees or parties claiming to act on their behalf. Although the alleged claims for relief vary from case to case, the complaints and counterclaims in these actions generally assert claims for breach of contract, indemnification, and/or declaratory judgment, and seek specific performance (repurchase of defective mortgage loan) and/or money damages. Adverse court decisions, including in cases not involving WMC, could result in new claims and lawsuits on additional loans. However, WMC continues to believe that it has defenses to the claims asserted in litigation, including, for example, based on causation and materiality requirements and applicable statutes of limitations. It is not possible to predict the outcome or impact of these defenses and other factors, any of which could materially affect the amount of any loss ultimately incurred by WMC on these claims.

2015 3Q FORM 10-Q PAGE 70

WMC has also received indemnification demands, nearly all of which are unspecified, from depositors/underwriters/sponsors of RMBS in connection with lawsuits brought by RMBS investors concerning alleged misrepresentations in the securitization offering documents to which WMC is not a party or, in two cases, involving mortgage loan repurchase claims made against RMBS sponsors. WMC believes that it has defenses to these demands.

To the extent WMC is required to repurchase loans, WMC's loss also would be affected by several factors, including pay downs, accrued interest and fees, and the value of the underlying collateral. The reserve and estimate of possible loss reflect judgment, based on currently available information, and a number of assumptions, including economic conditions, claim and settlement activity, pending and threatened litigation, court decisions regarding WMC's legal defenses, indemnification demands, government activity, and other variables in the mortgage industry. Actual losses arising from claims against WMC could exceed these amounts and additional claims and lawsuits could result if actual claim rates, governmental actions, litigation and indemnification activity, adverse court decisions, actual settlement rates or losses WMC incurs on repurchased loans differ from its assumptions.

Substantially collateralized by U.S. mortgages. At September 30, 2015, $961 million related to securities issued by government-sponsored entities and $23 million related to securities of private-label issuers. Securities issued by private-label issuers are collateralized primarily by pools of individual direct mortgage loans of financial institutions.

The fair value of investment securities decreased to $36,933 million at September 30, 2015, from $38,400 million at December 31, 2014, primarily due to a decline in unrealized gains resulting from higher interest rates, and net sales at Trinity, primarily related to mortgage-backed securities, partially offset by net purchases of U.S. government and federal agency securities at Synchrony Financial.

(a)

Includes the estimated fair value of and gross unrealized losses on equity securities held by GE. At September 30, 2015, the estimated fair value of and gross unrealized losses on equity securities were $37 million and $(46) million, respectively. At December 31, 2014, the estimated fair value of and gross unrealized losses on equity securities were $4 million and $(2) million, respectively.

(b)	Included gross unrealized losses of $27 million related to securities that had other-than-temporary impairments previously recognized at September 30, 2015.

(c)	Includes debt securities held to support obligations to holders of GICs all of which are considered to be investment-grade by the major rating agencies at September 30, 2015.

We regularly review investment securities for other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) using both qualitative and quantitative criteria. For debt securities, our qualitative review considers our ability and intent to hold the security and the financial condition of and near-term prospects for the issuer, including whether the issuer is in compliance with the terms and covenants of the security. Our quantitative review considers whether there has been an adverse change in expected future cash flows. Unrealized losses are not indicative of the amount of credit loss that would be recognized and at September 30, 2015 are primarily due to increases in market yields subsequent to our purchase of the securities. We presently do not intend to sell the vast majority of our debt securities that are in an unrealized loss position and believe that it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell the vast majority of these securities before anticipated recovery of our amortized cost. The methodologies and significant inputs used to measure the amount of credit loss for our investment securities during 2015 have not changed. For equity securities, we consider the duration and the severity of the unrealized loss. We believe that the unrealized loss associated with our equity securities will be recovered within the foreseeable future.

Our corporate debt portfolio comprises securities issued by public and private corporations in various industries, primarily in the U.S. Substantially all of our corporate debt securities are rated investment grade by the major rating agencies.

2015 3Q FORM 10-Q PAGE 73

Our RMBS portfolio is collateralized primarily by pools of individual, direct mortgage loans, of which substantially all are in a senior position in the capital structure of the deals, not other structured products such as collateralized debt obligations. Of the total RMBS held at September 30, 2015, $961 million and $23 million related to agency and non-agency securities, respectively. Additionally, $58 million was related to residential subprime credit securities, primarily supporting obligations to annuitants and policyholders in our run-off insurance operations. Substantially all of the subprime exposure is related to securities backed by mortgage loans originated in 2005 and prior and are investment grade.

Our commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) portfolio is collateralized by both diversified pools of mortgages that were originated for securitization (conduit CMBS) and pools of large loans backed by high-quality properties (large loan CMBS), about half of which were originated in 2008 and prior. The vast majority of the securities in our CMBS portfolio have investment-grade credit ratings.

Although we generally do not have the intent to sell any specific securities at the end of the period, in the ordinary course of managing our investment securities portfolio, we may sell securities prior to their maturities for a variety of reasons, including diversification, credit quality, yield and liquidity requirements and the funding of claims and obligations to policyholders. In some of our bank subsidiaries, we maintain a certain level of purchases and sales volume principally of non-U.S. government debt securities. In these situations, fair value approximates carrying value for these securities.

Proceeds from investment securities sales and early redemptions by issuers totaled $6,030 million and $624 million in the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, principally from sales of U.S. government and federal agency securities in Trinity and Synchrony Financial and short-term government securities in our bank subsidiaries.

Proceeds from investment securities sales and early redemptions by issuers totaled $9,330 million and $2,000 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, principally from sales of short-term government securities in our bank subsidiaries and sales of U.S. corporate and CMBS securities in our run-off insurance operations. In addition, proceeds from investment securities sales in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 included $6,486 million principally from sales of U.S. government and federal agency securities, CMBS and RMBS at Trinity and Synchrony Financial.

The implementation of the GE Capital Exit Plan has caused significant reductions in our Consumer portfolio, as all of our non-U.S. consumer financing receivables have been reclassified to either financing receivables held for sale or assets of businesses held for sale. The transfer of financing receivables to financing receivables held for sale and assets of businesses held for sale totaled $29,016 million and $5,508 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively. In addition, our Real Estate business and most of our CLL business have been classified as discontinued operations.

NOTE 7. ACQUISITIONS, GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

ACQUISITIONS

Upon closing an acquisition, we estimate the fair values of assets and liabilities acquired and consolidate the acquisition as quickly as possible. Given the time it takes to obtain pertinent information to finalize the acquired company's balance sheet, then to adjust the acquired company's accounting policies, procedures, and books and records to our standards, it is often several quarters before we are able to finalize those initial fair value estimates. Accordingly, it is not uncommon for our initial estimates to be subsequently revised.

On January 30, 2015, we acquired Milestone Aviation Group (Milestone Aviation), a helicopter leasing business, for approximately $1,750 million, which is included in our GE Capital segment. The preliminary purchase price allocation resulted in goodwill of approximately $730 million and amortizable intangible assets of approximately $345 million. The allocation of the purchase price will be finalized upon completion of post-closing procedures.

Goodwill balances decreased by $1,323 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015, primarily as a result of the currency exchange effects of the stronger U.S dollar, the reclassification of goodwill associated with ANZ Consumer Lending to assets of businesses held for sale and business dispositions, partially offset by the acquisition of Milestone Aviation.

We test goodwill for impairment annually in the third quarter of each year using data as of July 1 of that year. The impairment test consists of two steps: in step one, the carrying value of the reporting unit is compared with its fair value; in step two, which is applied when the carrying value is more than its fair value, the amount of goodwill impairment, if any, is derived by deducting the fair value of the reporting unit's assets and liabilities from the fair value of its equity, and comparing that amount with the carrying amount of goodwill. We determined fair values for each of the reporting units using the market approach, when available and appropriate, or the income approach, or a combination of both. We assess the valuation methodology based upon the relevance and availability of the data at the time we perform the valuation. If multiple valuation methodologies are used, the results are weighted appropriately.

Valuations using the market approach are derived from metrics of publicly traded companies or historically completed transactions of comparable businesses. The selection of comparable businesses is based on the markets in which the reporting units operate giving consideration to risk profiles, size, geography, and diversity of products and services. A market approach is limited to reporting units for which there are publicly traded companies that have the characteristics similar to our businesses.

Under the income approach, fair value is determined based on the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at an appropriate risk-adjusted rate. We use our internal forecasts to estimate future cash flows and include an estimate of long-term future growth rates based on our most recent views of the long-term outlook for each business. Actual results may differ from those assumed in our forecasts. We derive our discount rates using a capital asset pricing model and analyzing published rates for industries relevant to our reporting units to estimate the cost of equity financing. We use discount rates that are commensurate with the risks and uncertainty inherent in the respective businesses and in our internally developed forecasts. Discount rates used in our reporting unit valuations ranged from 10.0% to 15.5%.

During the third quarter of 2015, we performed our annual impairment test of goodwill for all of our reporting units. Based on the results of our step one testing, the fair values of each of the GE reporting units exceeded their carrying values; therefore, the second step of the impairment test was not required to be performed for any of our reporting units and no goodwill impairment was recognized.

2015 3Q FORM 10-Q PAGE 79

While all of our reporting units passed step one of our annual impairment testing in 2015, we identified one reporting unit for which the fair value was not substantially in excess of its carrying value. Primarily due to the sharp decline experienced in oil and gas prices and the prospect of a continuation of prevailing oil and gas prices, the fair value of our Energy Financial Services reporting unit, within our GE Capital operating segment, has been impacted and is in excess of its carrying value by approximately 13%. The goodwill associated with our Energy Financial Services reporting unit was $1,386 million at September 30, 2015, representing approximately 2% of our total goodwill. Our Oil & Gas business has also experienced declines in orders, project commencement delays and pricing pressures, which affect the fair value of our Oil & Gas reporting units. While the goodwill of these reporting units is not currently impaired, we will continue to monitor the oil and gas industry and the impact it may have on these businesses. As of September 30, 2015, we believe that the goodwill is recoverable for all of the reporting units; however, there can be no assurances that the goodwill will not be impaired in future periods.

In 2014, we identified one reporting unit for which the fair value was not substantially in excess of its carrying value. Within our Energy Management operating segment, the Power Conversion reporting unit was determined to have a fair value in excess of its carrying value by approximately 10%. In the current year, the fair value of the Power Conversion reporting unit significantly exceeded its carry value. The increase in fair value over its carry value was driven primarily by a stabilization of the business and cost cutting measures. In addition, our carry value has decreased due to currency effects of a stronger U.S. dollar.

Estimating the fair value of reporting units requires the use of estimates and significant judgments that are based on a number of factors including actual operating results. It is reasonably possible that the judgments and estimates described above could change in future periods.

Intangible assets subject to amortization decreased by $212 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015, primarily as a result of amortization and the currency exchange effects of the stronger U.S. dollar, partially offset by the acquisition of Milestone Aviation and the capitalization of new software across several business platforms.

Consolidated amortization expense was $437 million and $424 million in the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $1,295 million and $1,205 million the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

NOTE 10. INCOME TAXES

THE GE CAPITAL EXIT PLAN

In conjunction with the GE Capital Exit Plan, GECC will significantly reduce its non-U.S. assets while continuing to operate appropriately capitalized non-U.S. businesses with substantial assets related to GECC's vertical financing businesses, Energy Financial Services, GECAS and Healthcare Equipment Finance. As a result of the GE Capital Exit Plan, GECC recognized tax expense of $6,209 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015. This consisted of tax expense of $3,548 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015, related to expected repatriation of excess foreign cash in the amount of approximately $36 billion including approximately $10 billion of foreign earnings and the write-off of deferred tax assets of $2,661 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015, that will no longer be supported under this plan.

The expected repatriation of cash includes approximately $10 billion of foreign earnings that, prior to the approval of the GE Capital Exit Plan, were considered indefinitely reinvested in GECC's international operations. GECC's indefinitely reinvested earnings will also be reduced by charges recognized in connection with the disposition of international assets. The remainder of the indefinitely reinvested earnings will continue to be reinvested in the significant international base of assets that will remain after the GE Capital Exit Plan is fully executed. The write-off of deferred tax assets largely relate to our Treasury operations in Ireland where the tax benefits will no longer be apparent to be realized upon implementation of the GE Capital Exit Plan.

(a)	Some portion of such reduction may be reported as discontinued operations.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is currently auditing our consolidated U.S. income tax returns for 2010-2011. In addition, certain other U.S. tax deficiency issues and refund claims for previous years are still unresolved. The IRS has disallowed the tax loss on our 2003 disposition of ERC Life Reinsurance Corporation. We have contested the disallowance of this loss. It is reasonably possible that the unresolved items could be resolved during the next 12 months, which could result in a decrease in our balance of unrecognized tax benefits – that is, the aggregate tax effect of differences between tax return positions and the benefits recognized in our financial statements. We believe that there are no other jurisdictions in which the outcome of unresolved issues or claims is likely to be material to our results of operations, financial position or cash flows. We further believe that we have made adequate provision for all income tax uncertainties.

(a)

Our unvested restricted stock unit awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are considered participating securities. For the nine months period ended September 30, 2015, pursuant to the two-class method, as a result of the net loss from continuing operations, losses were not allocated to the participating securities. For the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014; and the nine months period ended September 30, 2014, participating securities are included in the computation of earnings (loss) per share pursuant to the two-class method and the application of this treatment had an insignificant effect.

(b)	Included an insignificant amount of dividend equivalents in each of the periods presented.

For the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, approximately 89 million and 88 million, respectively, of outstanding stock awards were not included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share because their effect was antidilutive. As a result of the loss from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, outstanding stock awards of approximately 398 million, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share because their effect was antidilutive. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, approximately 104 million of outstanding stock awards were not included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share because their effect was antidilutive.

Earnings (loss) per share amounts are computed independently, as a result, the sum of per-share amounts from continuing operations and discontinued operations may not equal the total per share amounts for net earnings (loss).

NOTE 15. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The following table provides information about assets and liabilities not carried at fair value. The table excludes finance leases and non-financial assets and liabilities. Substantially all of the assets discussed below are considered to be Level 3. The vast majority of our liabilities' fair value can be determined based on significant observable inputs and thus considered Level 2. Few of the instruments are actively traded and their fair values must often be determined using financial models. Realization of the fair value of these instruments depends upon market forces beyond our control, including marketplace liquidity.

2015 3Q FORM 10-Q PAGE 93

SECURITIES REPURCHASE AND REVERSE REPURCHASE ARRANGEMENTS

Our issuances of securities repurchase agreements are insignificant and are limited to activities at certain of our foreign banks primarily for purposes of liquidity management. At September 30, 2015, we were party to repurchase agreements totaling $132 million, which were reported in short-term borrowings on the financial statements. No repurchase agreements were accounted for as off-book financing and we do not engage in securities lending transactions.

We also enter into reverse securities repurchase agreements, primarily for short-term investment with maturities of 90 days or less. At September 30, 2015, we were party to reverse repurchase agreements totaling $10.0 billion, which were reported in cash and equivalents on the financial statements. Under these reverse securities repurchase agreements, we typically lend available cash at a specified rate of interest and hold U.S. or highly-rated European government securities as collateral during the term of the agreement. Collateral value is in excess of amounts loaned under the agreements.

DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING

As a matter of policy, we use derivatives for risk management purposes and we do not use derivatives for speculative purposes. A key risk management objective for our financial services businesses is to mitigate interest rate and currency risk by seeking to ensure that the characteristics of the debt match the assets they are funding. If the form (fixed versus floating) and currency denomination of the debt we issue do not match the related assets, we typically execute derivatives to adjust the nature and tenor of funding to meet this objective within pre-defined limits. The determination of whether we enter into a derivative transaction or issue debt directly to achieve this objective depends on a number of factors, including market related factors that affect the type of debt we can issue.

The notional amounts of derivative contracts represent the basis upon which interest and other payments are calculated and are reported gross, except for offsetting foreign currency forward contracts that are executed in order to manage our currency risk of net investment in foreign subsidiaries. Of the outstanding notional amount of $279,000 million, approximately 89% or $247,000 million, is associated with reducing or eliminating the interest rate, currency or market risk between financial assets and liabilities in our financial services businesses. The remaining derivative activities primarily relate to hedging against adverse changes in currency exchange rates and commodity prices related to anticipated sales and purchases and contracts containing certain clauses that meet the accounting definition of a derivative. The instruments used in these activities are designated as hedges when practicable. When we are not able to apply hedge accounting, or when the derivative and the hedged item are both recorded in earnings concurrently, the derivatives are deemed economic hedges and hedge accounting is not applied. This most frequently occurs when we hedge a recognized foreign currency transaction (e.g., a receivable or payable) with a derivative. Since the effects of changes in exchange rates are reflected concurrently in earnings for both the derivative and the transaction, the economic hedge does not require hedge accounting.

FAIR VALUE HEDGES

We use interest rate and currency exchange derivatives to hedge the fair value effects of interest rate and currency exchange rate changes on local and non-functional currency denominated fixed-rate debt. For relationships designated as fair value hedges, changes in fair value of the derivatives are recorded in earnings within interest and other financial charges, along with offsetting adjustments to the carrying amount of the hedged debt.

CASH FLOW HEDGES

We use interest rate, currency exchange and commodity derivatives to reduce the variability of expected future cash flows associated with variable rate borrowings and commercial purchase and sale transactions, including commodities. For derivatives that are designated in a cash flow hedging relationship, the effective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative is reported as a component of AOCI and reclassified into earnings contemporaneously and in the same caption with the earnings effects of the hedged transaction.

The total pre-tax amount in AOCI related to cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions was a $173 million loss at September 30, 2015. We expect to transfer $167 million to earnings as an expense in the next 12 months contemporaneously with the earnings effects of the related forecasted transactions. In both the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, we recognized insignificant gains and losses related to hedged forecasted transactions and firm commitments that did not occur by the end of the originally specified period. At September 30, 2015 and 2014, the maximum term of derivative instruments that hedge forecasted transactions was 17 years and 18 years, respectively. See Note 11 for additional information about reclassifications out of AOCI.

For cash flow hedges, the amount of ineffectiveness in the hedging relationship and amount of the changes in fair value of the derivatives that are not included in the measurement of ineffectiveness were insignificant for each reporting period.

NET INVESTMENT HEDGES IN FOREIGN OPERATIONS

We use currency exchange derivatives and foreign-currency-denominated debt as hedging instruments to protect our net investments in global operations conducted in non-U.S. dollar currencies. For hedging instruments that are designated as hedges of net investment in a foreign operation, we assess effectiveness based on changes in spot currency exchange rates. Changes in spot rates on the hedging instruments are recorded as a component of AOCI until such time as the foreign entity is substantially liquidated or sold, or upon the loss of a controlling interest in a foreign entity. Additionally, lower of cost or fair value, less cost to sell, assessments of foreign entities classified as held for sale take into account the related AOCI. The change in fair value of any forward points, which reflects the interest rate differential between the two countries on the derivative, is excluded from the effectiveness assessment.

FREE-STANDING DERIVATIVES

Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are not designated as hedges are recorded in earnings each period. As discussed above, these derivatives are typically entered into as economic hedges of changes in interest rates, currency exchange rates, commodity prices and other risks. Gains or losses related to the derivative are typically recorded in GECC revenues from services or other income, based on our accounting policy. In general, the earnings effects of the item that represent the economic risk exposure are recorded in the same caption as the derivative. Gains (losses) for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 on derivatives not designated as hedges were $(2,647) million composed of amounts related to interest rate contracts of $(101) million, currency exchange contracts of $(2,492) million, and other derivatives of $(54) million. Substantially all of these losses were offset by the earnings effects from the underlying items that were economically hedged. Gains (losses) for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 on derivatives not designated as hedges were $(578) million composed of amounts related to interest rate contracts of $(53) million, currency exchange contracts of $(565) million and other derivatives of $40 million. These losses were offset by the earnings effects from the underlying items that were economically hedged.

COUNTERPARTY CREDIT RISK

Fair values of our derivatives can change significantly from period to period based on, among other factors, market movements and changes in our positions. We manage counterparty credit risk (the risk that counterparties will default and not make payments to us according to the terms of our agreements) on an individual counterparty basis. Where we have agreed to netting of derivative exposures with a counterparty, we net our exposures with that counterparty and apply the value of collateral posted to us to determine the exposure. We actively monitor these net exposures against defined limits and take appropriate actions in response, including requiring additional collateral.

As discussed above, we have provisions in certain of our master agreements that require counterparties to post collateral (typically, cash or U.S. Treasury securities) when our receivable due from the counterparty, measured at current market value, exceeds a specified limit. The fair value of such collateral was $4,552 million at September 30, 2015, of which $2,858 million was cash and $1,694 million was in the form of securities held by a custodian for our benefit. Under certain of these same agreements, we post collateral to our counterparties for our derivative obligations, the fair value of which was $895 million at September 30, 2015. At September 30, 2015, our exposure to counterparties (including accrued interest), net of collateral we hold, was $1,148 million. This excludes exposure related to embedded derivatives.

Additionally, our master agreements typically contain mutual downgrade provisions that provide the ability of each party to require termination if the long-term credit rating of the counterparty were to fall below A-/A3. In certain of these master agreements, each party also has the ability to require termination if the short-term rating of the counterparty were to fall below A-1/P-1. Our master agreements also typically contain provisions that provide termination rights upon the occurrence of certain other events, such as a bankruptcy or events of default by one of the parties. If an agreement was terminated under any of these circumstances, the termination amount payable would be determined on a net basis and could also take into account any collateral posted. The net amount of our derivative liability, after consideration of collateral posted by us and outstanding interest payments was $540 million at September 30, 2015. This excludes embedded derivatives.

2015 3Q FORM 10-Q PAGE 98

NOTE 16. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

We use variable interest entities primarily to securitize financial assets and arrange other forms of asset-backed financing in the ordinary course of business. Investors in these entities only have recourse to the assets owned by the entity and not to our general credit. We do not have implicit support arrangements with any VIE. We did not provide non-contractual support for previously transferred financing receivables to any VIE in 2015 or 2014.

CONSOLIDATED VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

We consolidate VIEs because we have the power to direct the activities that significantly affect the VIE's economic performance, typically because of our role as either servicer or manager for the VIE. Our consolidated VIEs fall into two main groups, which are further described below:



Consolidated Securitization Entities (CSEs) were created to facilitate securitization of financial assets and other forms of asset-backed financing that serve as an alternative funding source by providing access to variable funding notes and term markets. The securitization transactions executed with these entities are similar to those used by many financial institutions and all are non-recourse. We provide servicing for substantially all of the assets in these entities.

The financing receivables in these entities have similar risks and characteristics to our other financing receivables and were underwritten to the same standard. Accordingly, the performance of these assets has been similar to our other financing receivables; however, the blended performance of the pools of receivables in these entities reflects the eligibility criteria that we apply to determine which receivables are selected for transfer. Contractually the cash flows from these financing receivables must first be used to pay third-party debt holders as well as other expenses of the entity. Excess cash flows are available to GE and GECC. The creditors of these entities have no claim on other assets of GE or GECC.



Other remaining assets and liabilities of consolidated VIEs relate primarily to three categories of entities: (1) joint ventures that lease equipment with $466 million of assets and $466 million of liabilities; (2) other entities that are involved in power generating and leasing activities with $331 million of assets and $187 million of liabilities; and (3) insurance entities that, among other lines of business, provide property and casualty and workers' compensation coverage for GE with $1,126 million of assets and $564 million of liabilities.

We provide servicing to the CSEs and are contractually permitted to commingle cash collected from customers on financing receivables sold to CSE investors with our own cash prior to payment to a CSE, provided our short-term credit rating does not fall below A-1/P-1. These CSEs also owe us amounts for purchased financial assets and scheduled interest and principal payments. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the amounts of commingled cash owed to the CSEs were $939 million and $1,091 million, respectively, and the amounts owed to us by CSEs were $170 million and $391 million, respectively.

(c)

Asset amounts exclude intercompany receivables for cash collected on behalf of the entities by GECC as servicer, which are eliminated in consolidation. Such receivables provide the cash to repay the entities' liabilities. If these intercompany receivables were included in the table above, assets would be higher. In addition, other assets, borrowings and other liabilities exclude intercompany balances that are eliminated in consolidation.

(d)

Included $724 million and $686 million of receivables at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, originated by Appliances. We require third party debt holder consent to sell these assets. The receivables will be included in assets of businesses held for sale when the consent is received.

Total revenues from our consolidated VIEs were $1,635 million and $1,792 million in the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $5,049 million and $4,966 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Related expenses consisted primarily of provisions for losses of $189 million and $244 million in the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $714 million and $791 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and interest and other financial charges of $78 million and $70 million in the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively and $218 million and $197 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. These amounts do not include intercompany revenues and costs, principally fees and interest between GE and the VIEs, which are eliminated in consolidation.

INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

Our involvement with unconsolidated VIEs consists of the following activities: assisting in the formation and financing of the entity; providing recourse and/or liquidity support; servicing the assets; and receiving variable fees for services provided. We are not required to consolidate these entities because the nature of our involvement with the activities of the VIEs does not give us power over decisions that significantly affect their economic performance.

The classification of our variable interests in these entities in our financial statements is based on the nature of the entity and the characteristics of the investment we hold.

NOTE 17. INTERCOMPANY TRANSACTIONS

Transactions between related companies are made on an arms-length basis, are eliminated and consist primarily of GECC dividends to GE; GE customer receivables sold to GECC; GECC services for trade receivables management and material procurement; buildings and equipment (including automobiles) leased between GE and GECC; information technology (IT) and other services sold to GECC by GE; aircraft engines manufactured by GE that are installed on aircraft purchased by GECC from third-party producers for lease to others; and various investments, loans and allocations of GE corporate overhead costs.

These intercompany transactions are reported in the GE and GECC columns of our financial statements, but are eliminated in deriving our consolidated financial statements. Effects of these eliminations on our consolidated cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities are $(413) million, $(56) million and $469 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015, and $(2,782) million, $(797) million and $3,579 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively.

NOTE 18. SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE CREDIT QUALITY OF FINANCING RECEIVABLES AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOSSES

As described in Note 5, our Consumer portfolio has been significantly reduced as all of our non-U.S. consumer financing receivables have been reclassified to either financing receivables held for sale or assets of businesses held for sale. In addition our Real Estate business and most of our CLL business have been classified as discontinued operations.

CREDIT QUALITY INDICATORS

Detailed information about the credit quality of our Commercial and Consumer financing receivables portfolios is provided below. For each portfolio, we describe the characteristics of the financing receivables and provide information about collateral, payment performance, credit quality indicators and impairment. We manage these portfolios using delinquency and nonaccrual data as key performance indicators. The categories used within this section such as impaired loans, troubled debt restructuring (TDR) and nonaccrual financing receivables are defined by the authoritative guidance and we base our categorization on the related scope and definitions contained in the related standards. The categories of nonaccrual and delinquent are used in our process for managing our financing receivables.

Our loss mitigation strategy is intended to minimize economic loss and, at times, can result in rate reductions, principal forgiveness, extensions, forbearance or other actions, which may cause the related loan to be classified as a troubled debt restructuring (TDR), and also as impaired. The determination of whether these changes to the terms and conditions of our commercial loans meet the TDR criteria includes our consideration of all relevant facts and circumstances. At September 30, 2015, TDRs included in impaired loans were $860 million, primarily relating to Consumer ($736 million), GECAS ($112 million), Energy Financial Services ($7 million) and CLL ($5 million).

Impaired loans in our Consumer business represent restructured smaller balance homogeneous loans meeting the definition of a TDR, and are therefore subject to the disclosure requirement for impaired loans. Impaired loans classified as TDRs in our Consumer business were $736 million and $2,132 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. We utilize certain loan modification programs for borrowers experiencing financial difficulties in our Consumer loan portfolio. These loan modification programs primarily include interest rate reductions and payment deferrals in excess of three months, which were not part of the terms of the original contract. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we modified $363 million of U.S. consumer loans, primarily credit cards for borrowers experiencing financial difficulties, which are classified as TDRs. We expect borrowers whose loans have been modified under these programs to continue to be able to meet their contractual obligations upon the conclusion of the modification. Of our $621 million and $1,074 million of consumer loans modifications classified as TDRs in the twelve months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, $49 million and $95 million have subsequently experienced a payment default in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

SUPPLEMENTAL CREDIT QUALITY INFORMATION

COMMERCIAL

Substantially all of our Commercial financing receivables portfolio is secured lending and we assess the overall quality of the portfolio based on the potential risk of loss measure. The metric incorporates both the borrower's credit quality along with any related collateral protection.

Our internal risk ratings process is an important source of information in determining our allowance for losses and represents a comprehensive approach to evaluate risk in our financing receivables portfolios. In deriving our internal risk ratings, we stratify our Commercial portfolios into 21 categories of default risk and/or six categories of loss given default to group into three categories: A, B and C. Our process starts by developing an internal risk rating for our borrowers, which is based upon our proprietary models using data derived from borrower financial statements, agency ratings, payment history information, equity prices and other commercial borrower characteristics. We then evaluate the potential risk of loss for the specific lending transaction in the event of borrower default, which takes into account such factors as applicable collateral value, historical loss and recovery rates for similar transactions, and our collection capabilities. Our internal risk ratings process and the models we use are subject to regular monitoring and internal controls. The frequency of rating updates is set by our credit risk policy, which requires annual Risk Committee approval.

As described above, financing receivables are assigned one of 21 risk ratings based on our process and then these are grouped by similar characteristics into three categories in the table below. Category A is characterized by either high-credit-quality borrowers or transactions with significant collateral coverage that substantially reduces or eliminates the risk of loss in the event of borrower default. Category B is characterized by borrowers with weaker credit quality than those in Category A, or transactions with moderately strong collateral coverage that minimizes but may not fully mitigate the risk of loss in the event of default. Category C is characterized by borrowers with higher levels of default risk relative to our overall portfolio or transactions where collateral coverage may not fully mitigate a loss in the event of default.

For our secured financing receivables portfolio, our collateral position and ability to work out problem accounts mitigate our losses. Our asset managers have deep industry expertise that enables us to identify the optimum approach to default situations. We price risk premiums for weaker credits at origination, closely monitor changes in creditworthiness through our risk ratings and watch list process, and are engaged early with deteriorating credits to minimize economic loss. Loans within Category C are reviewed and monitored regularly, and classified as impaired when it is probable that they will not pay in accordance with contractual terms. Our internal risk rating process identifies credits warranting closer monitoring; and as such, these loans are not necessarily classified as nonaccrual or impaired.

At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, our unsecured commercial financing receivables included $165 million and $88 million rated A, and $289 million and $287 million rated B, respectively. We did not have any unsecured commercial financing receivables rated C at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

CONSUMER

At September 30, 2015, our U.S. consumer financing receivables included private-label credit card and sales financing for approximately 63 million customers across the U.S. with no metropolitan area accounting for more than 6% of the portfolio. Of the total U.S. consumer financing receivables, approximately 66% relate to credit card loans that are often subject to profit and loss sharing arrangements with the retailer (which are recorded in revenues), and the remaining 34% are sales finance receivables that provide financing to customers in areas such as electronics, recreation, medical and home improvement.

Our Consumer financing receivables portfolio comprises both secured and unsecured lending. Secured financing receivables are largely comprised of consumer installment loans secured by equipment. Unsecured financing receivables include private-label credit card financing. A substantial majority of these cards are not for general use and are limited to the products and services sold by the retailer. The private-label portfolio is diverse with no metropolitan area accounting for more than 5% of the related portfolio.

We assess overall credit quality of our U.S. installment and revolving credit portfolio using information from credit bureaus such as Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO) scores. FICO scores are generally obtained at origination of the account and are refreshed at a minimum quarterly, but could be as often as weekly, to assist in predicting customer behavior. We categorize these credit scores into the following three categories; (a) 661 or higher, which are considered the strongest credits; (b) 601 to 660, which are considered moderate credit risk; and (c) 600 or less, which are considered weaker credits.

2015 3Q FORM 10-Q PAGE 106

U.S. installment and revolving credit accounts with FICO scores of 600 or less have an average outstanding balance less than one thousand U.S. dollars and are primarily concentrated in our retail card and sales financing portfolios, which minimizes the potential for loss in the event of default. For lower credit scores, we adequately price for the incremental risk at origination and monitor credit migration through our risk ratings process. We continuously adjust our credit line underwriting management and collection strategies based on customer behavior and risk profile changes.

For our Consumer - Other portfolio, we develop our internal risk ratings for this portfolio in a manner consistent with the process used to develop our Commercial credit quality indicators, described above. We use the borrower's credit quality and underlying collateral strength to determine the potential risk of loss from these activities.

At September 30, 2015, Consumer - Other financing receivables of $1,138 million, $117 million and $175 million were rated A, B and C, respectively. At December 31, 2014, Consumer – Other financing receivables of $5,006 million, $276 million and $382 million were rated A, B and C, respectively.
