  • GE current receivables of $254 million and $127 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, arose from sales, principally of Aviation goods and services, on open account to various agencies of the U.S. government. As a percentage of GE revenues, approximately 3% of GE sales of goods and services were to the U.S. government in 2014, compared with 4% in 2013 and 2012.

GE current receivables balances at December 31, 2014 and 2013, before allowance for losses, included $7,808 million and $7,441 million, respectively, from sales of goods and services to customers, and $22 million and $37 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, from transactions with associated companies.
