GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As previously reported by General Electric Company (the "Company" or "GE") on November 17, 2015, GE completed the split-off of Synchrony Financial ("Synchrony") through which the Company accepted 671,366,809 shares of GE common stock from its shareholders in exchange for 705,270,833 shares of Synchrony stock that it owned (the "Exchange"). As a result, Synchrony's historical results, which had been reported in General Electric Capital Corporation's ("GECC's") Consumer business, will be reported in GE's consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations and in subsequent periods GE's consolidated financial statements will no longer reflect the assets, liabilities, results of operations or cash flows attributable to Synchrony.
Also, as previously reported by GE on November 30, 2015, the rest of GECC's Consumer business met the criteria to be classified as held for sale. The Consumer business, including the results of Synchrony, will be reported as discontinued operations beginning in the fourth quarter of 2015.
The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of financial position of GE as of September 30, 2015, is presented as if the Exchange and the classification of the Consumer business (including Synchrony) as discontinued operations, as described in the notes to these unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements, had occurred at September 30, 2015. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, and each of the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, reflect the classification of Consumer as discontinued operations and the Synchrony split-off as if such events had occurred on January 1, 2012. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are based on the historical financial statements of GE for each period presented and in the opinion of GE management, all adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of the pro forma data have been made.
These unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or financial condition that would have been achieved had the Exchange and classification of the Consumer business as discontinued operations been completed as of the dates indicated or of the results that may be obtained in the future. These unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto should be read together with the following:
| GE's audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014, and Management's Discussion and Analysis included in GE's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 as updated by GE's Current Report on Form 8-K filed August 7, 2015. |
| GE's unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, and Management's Discussion and Analysis included in GE's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. |

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1) EXCHANGE AND SPLIT-OFF OF SYNCHRONY
As previously reported by GE on November 17, 2015, GE completed the previously announced split-off of Synchrony through which GE accepted 671,366,809 shares of GE common stock from its shareholders in exchange for 705,270,833 shares of Synchrony stock representing all the Synchrony stock that it owned.
These unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements reflect an exchange ratio of 1.0505 shares of Synchrony common stock for each share of GE common stock, which represents the ratio that was in effect following the official close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") on November 12, 2015, and is calculated as the average GE price of $30.3454 per share divided by 93% of the average Synchrony price of $31.0620 per share, reflecting a discount of 7%. The average prices reflect the simple arithmetic average of the daily volume-weighted average prices of shares of GE common stock and Synchrony common stock on the NYSE during the three consecutive trading days ending on and including November 12, 2015. These unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the acceptance of 671,366,809 shares of GE common stock in exchange for the 705,270,833 shares of Synchrony common stock.

The 671,366,809 shares of GE common stock acquired in the Exchange have been reflected as treasury stock on the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of financial position. This transaction results in a pro forma one-time net gain to GE estimated as of September 30, 2015 to be approximately $3,668 million calculated as follows:

Fair value of GE common stock tendered (671,366,809 shares acquired at the GE closing price of | $ | 20,383 |
$30.36 per share as of November 16, 2015) | | |

Pro forma net gain as of September 30, 2015 | $ | 3,668 |
| | |
The pro forma net gain, which would be reflected in discontinued operations in GE's consolidated statement of earnings, has not been reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of earnings and has been reflected as an adjustment to retained earnings on the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of financial position.
The amount of the actual gain to be reported in the fourth quarter of 2015
will differ from the pro forma net gain set forth above based on factors including GE's carrying value of Synchrony at the time the Exchange was consummated (which carrying value increased as GE recognized its share of Synchrony's earnings through the closing of the Exchange).
2) CONSUMER DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
As previously reported by GE on November 30, 2015, GE met the criteria to classify the rest of GECC's Consumer business as held for sale as of that date. The Consumer business will be reported as discontinued operations beginning in the fourth quarter of 2015. These unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements present the Consumer business (including Synchrony) as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
