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 this 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 this plan as well as other aspects of this 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, Appliances and Real Estate, 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.

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.

· 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 12 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 – Excluding the GE Capital exit impacts

· Operating and non-operating pension costs

· Consolidated and GECC Revenues – Excluding the GE Capital exit impacts

· Industrial segment organic revenue growth

· Oil & Gas organic revenue and operating profit growth

· Industrial cash flows from operating activities (Industrial CFOA)

· 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 (*).

GE Capital

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 a 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 next 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 (GECAS), 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. The assets planned for disposition include Real Estate, most of Commercial Lending and Leasing 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).

As part of the GE Capital Exit Plan, we agreed to sell the substantial majority of GECC's Real Estate debt and equity portfolio to funds managed by The Blackstone Group (which, at closing, intends to sell a portion of this portfolio to Wells Fargo & Company), and also have letters of intent with other buyers for the majority of the remaining commercial real estate assets. In total, these deals are valued at approximately $26.5 billion.

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 $210 billion of GECC debt as of April 10, 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.

7 2015 1Q FORM 10-Q

In connection with the GE Capital Exit Plan, the Company estimates it will 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 are expected to 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).

We recorded $16.1 billion of after-tax charges ($13.8 billion of which is attributable to continuing operations and $2.4 billion of which is attributable to discontinued operations) in the first quarter of 2015 related to the GE Capital Exit Plan. The first quarter charges recorded in continuing operations include tax expense related to expected repatriation of foreign earnings and write-off of deferred tax assets ($6.0 billion), asset impairments due to shortened hold periods ($5.0 billion), and charges on businesses held for sale ($2.8 billion), including goodwill allocation.

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 and tables 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.

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

The effects of dispositions on net earnings were an insignificant amount and a decrease of $1.2 billion in 2015 and 2014, respectively. ·   Industrial SG&A as a percentage of total sales increased slightly to16% primarily as a result of higher non-operating pension costs, restructuring and acquisition-related costs, partially offset by the favorable impact of global cost reduction initiatives.

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 €12.4 billion (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, GE, 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 €2.6 billion 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 €0.3 billion 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. The proposed transaction continues to be subject to regulatory approvals, which is currently in process. The transaction is targeted to close in 2015.

The acquisition and alliances with Alstom will impact our Power & Water and Energy Management segments. The impact of the 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 purchase accounting.

COMMENTARY: 2015 - 2014

Segment revenues and profit decreased primarily due to the effects of the GE Capital Exit Plan.

COMMERCIAL LENDING AND LEASING

CLL 2015 revenues decreased 57% and net earnings decreased in the three months ended March 31, 2015. Revenues decreased primarily as a result of estimated losses on businesses classified as assets of businesses held for sale ($1.8 billion) and organic revenue declines ($0.1 billion). Net earnings decreased reflecting higher impairments ($3.2 billion) and higher provisions for losses on financing receivables ($1.2 billion). These decreases are primarily related to the reclassification of assets within CLL to assets of businesses held for sale, including goodwill allocation, and financing receivables held for sale recorded at the lower of cost or fair value, less cost to sell, and asset impairments due to shortened hold periods in connection with the GE Capital Exit Plan.

CONSUMER

Consumer 2015 revenues decreased by 43% and net earnings decreased in the three months ended March 31, 2015. Revenues decreased as a result of higher impairments ($1.4 billion). Net earnings decreased as a result of higher provisions for losses on financing receivables ($2.1 billion), higher impairments ($1.2 billion) and core decreases ($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, and asset impairments related to equity method investments in connection with the GE Capital Exit Plan.

ENERGY FINANCIAL SERVICES

Energy Financial Services 2015 revenues decreased 39% and net earnings decreased 77% in the three months ended March 31, 2015. Revenues decreased as a result of lower gains ($0.2 billion) and organic revenue declines ($0.1 billion), partially offset by lower impairments ($0.1 billion). Net earnings decreased as a result of lower gains ($0.1 billion) and core decreases ($0.1 billion), partially offset by lower impairments ($0.1 billion).

GECAS

GECAS 2015 revenues decreased 5% and net earnings decreased 13% in the three months ended March 31, 2015. Revenues decreased as a result of organic revenue declines ($0.1 billion), partially offset by the effects of acquisitions ($0.1 billion) and lower impairments. Net earnings decreased as a result of core decreases ($0.1 billion), partially offset by lower impairments and the effects of acquisitions.

2015 – 2014 COMMENTARY

Revenues and other income decreased $0.1 billion, primarily a result of:

· A fair value adjustment on a senior unsecured note receivable from a customer.

Operating costs increased $0.2 billion, primarily as a result of:

· Higher costs associated with our principal retirement plans including the effects of 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 for each period 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 MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31

(Dollars in billions)

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

2015 – 2014 COMMENTARY

· The consolidated income tax rate (negative 130.5%) for the first quarter 2015 is not meaningful. The negative consolidated tax rate is caused by comparing the positive tax expense of $6.5 billion with the pre-tax loss of $4.9 billion resulting in a negative tax rate.

· As discussed in Note 10, during the first quarter of 2015 in conjunction with the GE Capital Exit Plan, we incurred tax expense of $6.0 billion related to expected repatriation of foreign earnings and write-off of deferred tax assets.

· The increase in the income tax expense from $0.6 billion for the first quarter of 2014 to $6.5 billion for the first quarter of 2015 is due to the tax expense incurred as part of the GE Capital Exit Plan.

· The consolidated tax provision includes $0.3 billion for GE (excluding GECC) for both the first quarters of 2014 and 2015.

The effective tax rate in future periods is expected to increase as a result of changes in our income profile due to lower GE Capital earnings as we execute on the GE Capital Exit Plan.

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.

31 2015 1Q FORM 10-Q

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 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 THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2015

· GECC Financing receivables-net decreased $139.3 billion. See the following Financing Receivables section for additional information.

· GECC Financing receivables held for sale increased $91.1 billion. See the following Financing Receivables Held for Sale section for additional information.

· Assets of businesses held for sale increased $50.2 billion, primarily as a result of the GE Capital Exit Plan, decreasing balances of our major asset categories, including: Investment securities; Financing receivables; Property, plant and equipment and Goodwill.

· Borrowings decreased $13.0 billion. GECC had net repayments on borrowings of $3.9 billion, along with a $10.1 billion reduction in the balances driven by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against all major currencies.

· Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) – currency translation adjustments decreased $5.3 billion driven by the strengthening U.S. dollar against all major currencies at March 31, 2015 compared with December 31, 2014. This decrease coincides with general decreases in balances of our major asset and liability categories, including: Financing receivables; Property, plant and equipment; Goodwill; Short-term borrowings and Long-term borrowings.

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 March 31, 2015, our financing receivables portfolio primarily relates to GECAS, Energy Financial Services, Healthcare Equipment Finance (that directly relate to GE's core industrial businesses), Working Capital Solutions, a business that purchases GE customer receivables, and Synchrony Financial, our U.S. consumer business. 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.

32 2015 1Q FORM 10-Q

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.

(a) For additional information related to the portfolio of  financing receivables, refer to the GECC quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

(b) Substantially all of our $0.3 billion of nonaccrual loans at March 31, 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.

Financing receivables, before allowance for losses, decreased $140.9 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 CLL and Consumer) ($123.1 billion), the stronger U.S. dollar ($7.7 billion), write-offs ($6.2 billion) and collections (which includes sales) exceeding originations ($3.7 billion).

Nonaccrual receivables decreased $3.6 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 CLL and Consumer).

Allowance for losses decreased $1.6 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. The allowance for losses as a percent of total financing receivables increased from 2.2% at December 31, 2014 to 4.1% at March 31, 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.

33 2015 1Q FORM 10-Q

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 three months ended March 31, 2015, we transferred most of our CLL and all 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 ANZ. Also, in connection with the GE Capital Exit Plan, we announced the planned disposition of our Real Estate business, which is classified as discontinued operations for all years presented.

The transfer of financing receivables to financing receivables held for sale and assets of businesses held for sale totaled $93.1 billion and $30.0 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 $4.0 billion ($3.3 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 $5.1 billion to establish a new cost basis of the financing receivables held for sale at March 31, 2015.

For businesses held for sale, financing receivable balances of $30.0 billion and the related allowance for loan losses of $0.4 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, at March 31, 2015. The charge of $1.8 billion related to measuring the businesses held for sale, including goodwill allocation, at the lower of cost or fair value, less cost to sell, is recorded in other revenues.

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 three months ended March 31, 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 $3.1 billion and $3.4 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'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. 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 to fund its operating and interest expense costs.

Our 2015 GECC funding plan anticipates repayment of principal on outstanding short-term borrowings, including the current portion of long-term debt ($37.7 billion at December 31, 2014), principally through dispositions, asset sales and cash on hand. Long-term maturities and early redemptions were $15.3 billion in the first quarter of 2015. Interest on borrowings is primarily repaid through interest earned on existing financing receivables, a trend we expect to change as GECC executes the GE Capital Exit Plan. During the first quarter of 2015, GECC earned interest income on financing receivables of $4.1 billion, which more than offset interest and other financial charges of $1.7 billion.

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^th 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.

LIQUIDITY SOURCES

We maintain liquidity sources that consist of cash and equivalents of $87.1 billion, committed unused credit lines of $45.9 billion and high-quality, liquid investments of $2.7 billion.

(a) At March 31, 2015, $2.9 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 March 31, 2015, GECC cash and equivalents of about $18.6 billion were in regulated banks and insurance entities and were subject to regulatory restrictions.

(c) Of this amount at March 31, 2015, $6.4 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.

(b) Total committed unused credit lines were extended to us by 50 financial institutions. GECC can borrow up to $45.4 billion under these credit lines. GE can borrow up to $14.8 billion under certain of these credit lines.

FUNDING PLAN

We reduced our GE Capital ENI*, excluding liquidity, to $303 billion at March 31, 2015.

During the first three months of 2015, GECC completed issuances of $8.1 billion of senior unsecured debt (excluding securitizations described below) with maturities up to 10 years. In February 2015, Synchrony Financial issued an additional $1.0 billion of senior unsecured debt maturing in 2020.

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. As announced on April 10, 2015, GECC is targeting to reduce the outstanding commercial paper to approximately $5 billion by the end of 2015.

*Non-GAAP Financial Measure

36 2015 1Q FORM 10-Q

We securitize financial assets as an alternative source of funding. During the first three months of 2015, we completed $1.3 billion of non-recourse issuances and $2.2 billion of non-recourse borrowings matured. At March 31, 2015, consolidated non-recourse securitization borrowings were $29.0 billion.

We have ten deposit-taking banks outside of the U.S. 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). The FSB and IB currently issue certificates of deposit (CDs) in maturity terms up to 10 years.

ALTERNATIVE FUNDING
(In billions)
Total alternative funding at December 31, 2014		$	117.3
Total alternative funding at March 31, 2015			112.9
	Bank deposits		62.7

	Funding secured by real estate, aircraft and other collateral		5.6
	GE Interest Plus notes (including $0.1 billion of current long-term debt)		5.5
	Bank unsecured		10.1

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 the first three months of 2015, we did not call any 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 $210 billion of GECC debt as of April 10, 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 – THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2015 VERSUS 2014

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 – THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31

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 $0.4 billion primarily due to the following:

· A decrease of operating cash collections of $0.5 billion to $25.1 billion in 2015. This decrease is consistent with comparable GE segment revenue decreases from sales of goods and services and lower progress collections. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in collections of current receivables.

· This decrease is partially offset by lower operating cash payments of $0.2 billion to $24.2 billion in 2015 consistent with cost and expense decreases and decreased spend on inventory in first quarter of 2015 compared with that of 2014.

· Further, GECC paid quarterly dividends totaling $0.5 billion to GE in both the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

GE cash used for investing activities decreased $1.3 billion primarily due to the following:

· Lower business acquisition activity of $1.4 billion primarily driven by the 2014 acquisitions of certain Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. life-science businesses for $1.1 billion and API Healthcare (API) for $0.3 billion.

GE cash used for financing activities increased $0.9 billion primarily due to the following:

· The 2014 issuance of $3.0 billion of unsecured notes.

· This is partially offset by a decrease in net repurchases of GE shares for treasury in accordance with our share repurchase program of $1.6 billion.

· Further, net payments in borrowings (maturities of 90 day or less) decreased by $0.5 billion.

2015 – 2014 COMMENTARY:

GECC cash from operating activities decreased $0.3 billion primarily due to the following:

· A decrease in net cash collateral activity with counterparties on derivative contracts of $0.4 billion.

GECC cash from investing activities increased $1.5 billion primarily due to the following:

· A net increase in financing receivables activity of $1.8 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 decreased $2.3 billion primarily due to the following:

· Lower net repayments of borrowings of $2.7 billion driven primarily by issuances of senior unsecured notes.

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.

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 $1.8 billion and $0.4 billion for the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2015, we had $54.8 billion in financing receivables to consumer and commercial customers in Europe including, $49.0 billion classified as either financing receivables held for sale or assets of businesses held for sale. The GECC financing receivables portfolio in Europe is well diversified across European geographies and customers. Approximately 92% 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 March 31, 2015.

(a) Financing receivable amounts are classified based on the location or nature of the related obligor.

(b) Investments and derivatives are classified based on the location of the parent of the obligor or issuer.

(c) Included $0.2 billion related to financial institutions, $0.1 billion related to non-financial institutions and $1.0 billion related to sovereign issuers. Sovereign issuances totaled $0.1 billion related to Italy. We held no investments issued by sovereign entities in the other focus countries.

(d) Substantially all is non-sovereign.

(e) Net of cash collateral; entire amount is non-sovereign.

(f) These assets are held under long-term investment and operating strategies, and our ELTO strategies contemplate an ability to redeploy assets under lease should default by the lessee occur. The values of these assets could be subject to decline or impairment in the current environment.

(g) Excluded $28.1 billion of cash and equivalents, which is composed of $19.4 billion of cash on short-term placement with highly rated global financial institutions based in Europe, sovereign central banks and agencies or supranational entities, of which $0.7 billion is in focus countries, and $8.7 billion of cash and equivalents placed with highly rated European financial institutions on a short-term basis, secured by U.S. Treasury securities ($5.8 billion) and sovereign bonds of non-focus countries ($3.0 billion), where the value of our collateral exceeds the amount of our cash exposure.

(h) Rest of Europe included $1.8 billion and $0.1 billion of exposure for Russia and Ukraine, respectively, substantially all ELTO and financing receivables related to commercial aircraft in our GECAS portfolio.

(i) Includes ordinary course of business lending commitments, commercial and consumer unused revolving credit lines, inventory financing arrangements and investment commitments.

(j) Includes financing receivables of $6.2 billion and ELTO of $2.2 billion classified as assets of businesses held for sale.

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 March 31, 2015 was approximately 193 bolivars per U.S. dollar compared to SICAD at 12 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 March 31, 2015, we did not access the SIMADI market and have continued to use the SICAD exchange rate to remeasure 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 continue to monitor developments closely and may determine in the future that rates other than the SICAD rate are appropriate for remeasurement of the net monetary assets of our Venezuelan entities.

Net monetary assets subject to remeasurement were approximately $89 million at March 31, 2015, including approximately $25 million in bolivar-denominated cash and cash equivalents and approximately $45 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 $300 million at March 31, 2015 and recoverable amounts of non-monetary assets in Venezuela of approximately $110 million at March 31, 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. Certain parts of our Oil & Gas business will experience declines in orders, project commencement delays and pricing pressures, while we expect that other parts will be less affected. In response to this uncertain industry outlook, we continue to execute cost actions with an increased focus on 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 first 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 2014 Form 10-K Report 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 a plan to reduce the size of its financial services businesses through the sale of most of the assets of GECC over the next 24 months. As a result of the GE Capital Exit Plan, 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 March 31, 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 March 31, 2015.

We will 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. The new standard is currently effective on January 1, 2017, subject to an additional one-year deferral as proposed by the FASB. Early application is not permitted. 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 nor have we determined 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.

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 March 31, 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 November 25, 2014 the FRB proposed for comment enhanced prudential standards that would apply to GECC as a nonbank SIFI. This proposal would, among other items, require GECC to comply with rules on capital and liquidity adequacy that apply to large bank holding companies, market terms requirements for intercompany transactions and enhanced risk management and governance requirements. The proposed standards would also apply stress testing and capital planning requirements to GECC under the FRB's comprehensive capital analysis and review (CCAR) regulations. The comment period for the proposed standards closed on February 2, 2015, and the exact application of the proposed standards will not be known until after the final rule is published. We submitted comments on the proposed standards on February 2, 2015 and plan to submit additional comments conveying our views on the potential implications of the GE Capital Exit Plan for the proposed standards.

While the proposed 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, 2016, GECC does undertake 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 was approved by the GECC board of directors and the GE Board of Directors Risk Committee in 2014. 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.

In addition to the proposed enhanced prudential standards, 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. GECC's resolution plan describes how they 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 Dodd-Frank Act 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, but we are assessing the full impact of the rule, in anticipation of full conformance with the rule, as required by July 21, 2015.

As discussed in Management's Discussion and Analysis, on April 10, 2015, the Company announced a plan (the GE Capital Exit Plan) to reduce the size of its financial services businesses. 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).

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.

There are 15 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 to objections to the proposed settlement, and in response the court has scheduled an evidentiary hearing for June 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. 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.

Two cases are 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 (the "Group1" loans), and, as a result, on February 9, 2015 the District Court stayed the case as to these claims. 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.

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 March 31, 2015. See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.

The company is reporting the following matter in compliance with SEC requirements to disclose environmental proceedings where the government is a party potentially involving monetary sanctions of $100,000 or greater. In October 2014, the U.S. Federal Government informed the company that it was seeking penalties under the Clean Air and Resource and Conservation Recovery Acts in connection with a facility sold to Momentive Performance Materials, Inc. in 2006. The allegations relate to improper operation of pollution control monitoring equipment by incinerator operators.

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 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 (2014 consolidated financial statements), 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. Unless otherwise indicated, information in these notes to the consolidated financial statements relates to continuing operations.

THE GE CAPITAL EXIT PLAN

On April 10, 2015, the Company announced a 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 next 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. 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).

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 $210,107 million of GECC debt as of April 10, 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.

We recorded $16,118 million of after-tax charges ($13,764 million of which is attributable to continuing operations and $2,354 million of which is attributable to discontinued operations) in the first quarter of 2015 related to the GE Capital Exit Plan. The first quarter charges recorded in continuing operations include tax expense related to expected repatriation of foreign earnings and write-off of deferred tax assets ($5,980 million), asset impairments due to shortened hold periods ($4,962 million), and charges on businesses held for sale ($2,822 million), including goodwill allocation.

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

58 2015 1Q FORM 10-Q

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. We label our quarterly information using a calendar convention, that is, first quarter is labeled as ending on March 31, second quarter as ending on June 30, and third quarter as ending on September 30.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

We utilized significant estimates in the preparation of the first 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 2014 Form 10-K Report for a summary of our significant 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 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 a result of the GE Capital Exit Plan, 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 March 31, 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 March 31, 2015.

We will 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.

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

ASSETS AND LIABILITIES OF BUSINESSES HELD FOR SALE

In the first quarter of 2015, in connection with the GE Capital Exit Plan, we committed to sell certain businesses within our CLL business, with assets of $44,398 million and liabilities of $3,871 million. Upon classification as held for sale, we recorded an estimated loss on disposal of $1,845 million ($2,822 million after tax) in revenues. In addition, we signed an agreement to sell our consumer finance business in Australia and New Zealand (ANZ Consumer Lending), with assets of $6,093 million and liabilities of $286 million, to a consortium including KKR, Varde Partners and Deutsche Bank for approximately 6,800 million Australian dollars and 1,400 million New Zealand dollars, respectively, and is targeted to close in 2015. 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 at Transportation, with assets of $236 million and liabilities of $130 million to Alstom for approximately $800 million, and our consumer finance business Budapest Bank, with assets of $3,107 million and liabilities of $2,177 million to Hungary's government. The transactions remain subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals, and are targeted to close in 2015.

In the third quarter of 2014, we signed an agreement to sell our Appliances business with assets of $2,704 million and liabilities of $1,417 million to Electrolux for approximately $3,300 million. The transaction remains subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals, and is targeted to close in mid-2015.

FINANCING RECEIVABLES HELD FOR SALE

In the first quarter of 2015, in connection with the GE Capital Exit Plan, we committed to sell most of our CLL and 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 $3,955 million ($3,341 million after tax) and wrote-off the associated balance of the allowance for loan losses of $5,072 million to reduce the carrying value of the financing receivables to the lower of cost or fair value, less cost to sell.

62 2015 1Q FORM 10-Q

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 March 31, 2015, such claims consisted of $3,689 million of individual claims generally submitted before the filing of a lawsuit (compared to $3,694 million at December 31, 2014) and $8,982 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, $12,671 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 March 31, 2015, these amounts do not include approximately $429 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 statutes of limitations.

Reserves related to repurchase claims made against WMC were $814 million at March 31, 2015, reflecting a net increase to reserves in the three months ended March 31, 2015 of $5 million due to incremental provisions offset by settlement activity. 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. 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.

Balance, beginning of period	$	809	$	800

Claim resolutions / rescissions		(2)		(250)
Balance, end of period	$	814	$	550

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. Taking into account both recent settlement activity and the potential variability of settlements, WMC estimates a range of reasonably possible loss from $0 to approximately $500 million over its recorded reserve at March 31, 2015. 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 March 31, 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. 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 (such as the New York Court of Appeals' decision on statute of limitations, expected in 2015), 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.

63 2015 1Q FORM 10-Q

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.

(a) Substantially collateralized by U.S. mortgages. At March 31, 2015, $1,191 million related to securities issued by government-sponsored entities and $34 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 $41,992 million at March 31, 2015, from $47,558 million at December 31, 2014, primarily due to asset-backed debt securities, collateralized by senior secured loans of high-quality, middle-market companies in a variety of industries, which were transferred to assets of businesses held for sale in connection with the GE Capital Exit Plan. This decrease was partially offset by purchases of U.S. government and federal agency securities primarily at Synchrony Financial and Trinity.

(a) Includes the estimated fair value of and gross unrealized losses on Equity securities held by GE. At March 31, 2015, the estimated fair value of and gross unrealized losses on Equity securities were $5 million and $(4) 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 related to securities that had other-than-temporary impairments previously recognized of an insignificant amount at March 31, 2015.

(c) The majority relate to debt securities held to support obligations to holders of GICs and more than 70% are debt securities that were considered to be investment-grade by the major rating agencies at March 31, 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 March 31, 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.

66 2015 1Q FORM 10-Q

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 March 31, 2015, $1,191 million and $34 million related to agency and non-agency securities, respectively.  Additionally, $65 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), a majority 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 $3,561 million and $1,327 million in the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, principally from sales of short-term government securities in our bank subsidiaries and redemptions of non-U.S. corporate and asset-backed securities in our CLL business. In addition, proceeds from investment securities sales in the three months ended March 31, 2015 included $1,627 million principally from sales of CMBS, RMBS and state and municipal securities at Trinity.

We recognized pre-tax gains (losses) on trading securities of $(2) million and $(5) million in the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The implementation of the GE Capital Exit Plan has caused significant reductions in our CLL and Consumer portfolios as most or all of those portfolios have been reclassified to either financing receivables held for sale or assets of businesses held for sale. In the three months ended March 31, 2015, the transfer of financing receivables to financing receivables held for sale and assets of businesses held for sale totaled $93,141 million and $29,952 million, respectively. In addition our Real Estate business has been classified as a discontinued operation.

In addition, property, plant and equipment decreased in the three months ended March 31, 2015, primarily as a result of the reclassification of assets to assets of businesses held for sale in connection with the GE Capital Exit Plan and the currency exchange effects of a stronger U.S. dollar.

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 $750 million and amortizable intangible assets of approximately $300 million. The allocation of the purchase price will be finalized upon completion of post-closing procedures.

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, GE, 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 €2,600 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. The proposed transaction continues to be subject to regulatory approvals, which is currently in process. The transaction is targeted to close in 2015.

The acquisition and alliances with Alstom will impact our Power & Water and Energy Management segments. The impact of the 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 purchase accounting.

Goodwill balances decreased by $6,412 million in the three months ended March 31, 2015, primarily as a result of the reclassification of goodwill associated with certain businesses within our CLL business, in connection with the GE Capital Exit Plan, and ANZ Consumer Lending to assets of businesses held for sale and the result of currency exchange effects of a stronger U.S. dollar, partially offset by the acquisition of Milestone Aviation.

71 2015 1Q FORM 10-Q

As businesses meet the criteria for held for sale, we allocate goodwill to such businesses and assess the remaining reporting unit goodwill for impairment.

Our GE Capital - CLL reporting unit had a goodwill balance of $13,058 million at January 1, 2015. As a result of the GE Capital Exit Plan, we allocated $4,457 million of the GE Capital - CLL reporting unit goodwill to the carrying values of the assets of businesses held for sale. The remaining GE Capital - CLL goodwill was then tested for impairment using data as of January 1, 2015.

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 of the reporting unit exceeds 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 value for the GE Capital - CLL reporting unit using the market approach, which was derived from metrics of publicly traded companies or historically completed transactions of comparable businesses. The selection of comparable companies is based on the markets in which the GE Capital - CLL reporting unit businesses operate giving consideration to risk profiles, size, geography, and diversity of products and services.

While the carrying value of the GE Capital - CLL reporting unit was within the range of estimated fair values, we further substantiated our GE Capital - CLL goodwill balance by performing the second step analysis in which the implied fair value of goodwill exceeded its carrying value and accordingly, no goodwill impairment was recognized.

Additionally, our GE Capital - Consumer reporting unit had a goodwill balance of $9,777 million at January 1, 2015. During the first quarter of 2015, we signed an agreement to sell ANZ Consumer Lending and upon classification as held for sale, we allocated $410 million of GE Capital - Consumer reporting unit goodwill to the carrying value of the business. The remaining GE Capital - Consumer reporting unit goodwill was then tested for impairment using data as of January 1, 2015. Fair value of the GE Capital - Consumer reporting unit was determined using an income approach and incorporating market observable data. The fair value of the GE Capital - Consumer reporting unit exceeded its carrying value, and therefore, goodwill was not impaired.

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 $644 million in the three months ended March 31, 2015, primarily as a result of currency exchange effects of a stronger U.S. dollar and the reclassification of intangible assets associated with certain businesses within our CLL business, in connection with the GE Capital Exit Plan, and ANZ Consumer Lending to assets of businesses held for sale, partially offset by the acquisition of Milestone Aviation.

Consolidated amortization expense was $490 million and $406 million in the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

NOTE 9. POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS

We sponsor a number of pension and retiree health and life insurance benefit plans. Principal pension plans are the GE Pension Plan and the GE Supplementary Pension Plan. Principal retiree benefit plans provide health and life insurance benefits to certain eligible participants and these participants share in the cost of the healthcare benefits. Other pension plans include the U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans with pension assets or obligations greater than $50 million. Smaller pension plans and other retiree benefit plans are not material individually or in the aggregate.

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 a tax expense of $5,980 million in the first quarter of 2015 consisting of $3,549 million related to expected repatriation of excess foreign cash in the amount of approximately $36 billion and the write-off of deferred tax assets of $2,431 million that will no longer be supported under this plan.

GECC's indefinitely reinvested earnings will be reduced as the expected repatriation of cash will include a portion of the earnings that prior to the approval of the GE Capital Exit Plan were 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 with the remainder continuing 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 period ended March 31, 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 period ended March 31, 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.

As a result of the loss from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015, all of the outstanding stock awards, approximately 312 million, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share because their effect was antidilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, approximately 72 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).

(a) Earnings effects are primarily included in the "GECC revenues from services" and "Interest and other financial charges" captions in the Statement of Earnings (Loss).

(b) Transfers in and out of Level 3 are considered to occur at the beginning of the period. Transfers out of Level 3 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 were primarily a result of the reclassification of investments in our CLL business in asset-backed securities collateralized by senior secured loans of high-quality, middle-market companies in a variety of industries to assets of business held for sale. Transfers out of Level 3 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were primarily a result of increased use of quotes from independent pricing vendors based on recent trading activity.

(c) Represents the amount of unrealized gains or losses for the period included in earnings.

(d) Represents derivative assets net of derivative liabilities and included cash accruals of $10 million and $6 million not reflected in the fair value hierarchy table for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

(e) Gains (losses) included in net realized/unrealized gains (losses) included in earnings were offset by the earnings effects from the underlying items that were economically hedged. See Note 15.

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.

85 2015 1Q FORM 10-Q

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 March 31, 2015, we were party to repurchase agreements totaling $45 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 March 31, 2015, we were party to reverse repurchase agreements totaling $12.1 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 $258,000 million, approximately 86% or $223,000 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.

Fair value hedges resulted in $(32) million and $(16) million of ineffectiveness in the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. In both the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, there were insignificant amounts excluded from the assessment of effectiveness.

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.

(a) Gain (loss) is recorded in GECC revenues from services, interest and other financial charges, and other costs and expenses when reclassified to earnings.

The total pre-tax amount in AOCI related to cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions was a $205 million loss at March 31, 2015. We expect to transfer $303 million to earnings as an expense in the next 12 months contemporaneously with the earnings effects of the related forecasted transactions. In both the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2015 and 2014, the maximum term of derivative instruments that hedge forecasted transactions was 18 years and 19 years, respectively. See Note11 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 to protect our net investments in global operations conducted in non-U.S. dollar currencies. For derivatives 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 derivative 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 the forward points, which reflects the interest rate differential between the two countries on the derivative, is excluded from the effectiveness assessment.

Reclassifications from CTA of $974 million and $(3) million were recorded in GECC revenues from services and $(189) million and $13 million in discontinued operations in the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The amounts related to the change in the fair value of the forward points that are excluded from the measure of effectiveness were $(44) million and $(142) million in the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and were recorded in interest and other financial charges.

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 three months ended March 31, 2015 on derivatives not designated as hedges were $(3,094) million composed of amounts related to interest rate contracts of $(44) million, currency exchange contracts of $(3,031) million, and other derivatives of $(19) million. These losses were more than offset by the earnings effects from the underlying items that were economically hedged. Gains (losses) for the three months ended March 31, 2014 on derivatives not designated as hedges were $1,097 million composed of amounts related to currency exchange contracts of $1,126 million and other derivatives of $(29) 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 $5,648 million at March 31, 2015, of which $3,323 million was cash and $2,325 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 $493 million at March 31, 2015. At March 31, 2015, our exposure to counterparties (including accrued interest), net of collateral we hold, was $1,389 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 $1,035 million at March 31, 2015. This excludes embedded derivatives.

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. Except as noted below, 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 three main groups, which are further described below:

· Trinity comprises two consolidated entities that hold investment securities, the majority of which are investment-grade, and were funded by the issuance of GICs. The GICs include conditions under which certain holders could require immediate repayment of their investment should the long-term credit ratings of GECC fall below AA-/Aa3 or the short-term credit ratings fall below A-1+/P-1. The outstanding GICs are subject to their scheduled maturities and individual terms, which may include provisions permitting redemption upon a downgrade of one or more of GECC's ratings, among other things, and are reported in investment contracts, insurance liabilities and insurance annuity benefits.

· 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. The creditors of these entities have no claim on other assets of GE.

· Other remaining assets and liabilities of consolidated VIEs relate primarily to three categories of entities: (1) joint ventures that lease equipment with $1,587 million of assets and $679 million of liabilities; (2) other entities that are involved in power generating and leasing activities with $339 million of assets and $207 million of  liabilities; and (3) insurance entities that, among other lines of business, provide property and casualty and workers' compensation coverage for GE with $1,193 million of assets and $547 million of liabilities.

(a) Excluded intercompany advances from GECC to Trinity, which were eliminated in consolidation of $1,565 million and $1,565 million at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

(b) 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 March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the amounts of commingled cash owed to the CSEs were $2,702 million and $2,809 million, respectively, and the amounts owed to us by CSEs were $2,735 million and $2,913 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 $659 million and $686 million of receivables at March 31, 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.

(e) Included $15.2 billion of financing receivables at March 31, 2015 classified as financing receivables held for sale in connection with the GE Capital Exit Plan.

Total revenues from our consolidated VIEs were $2,003 million and $1,835 million in the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Related expenses consisted primarily of provisions for losses of $229 million and $301 million in the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and interest and other financial charges of $91 million and $81 million in the three months ended March 31, 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.

Our largest exposure to any single unconsolidated VIE at March 31, 2015 is a $8,377 million investment in asset-backed securities issued by the Senior Secured Loan Program (SSLP), a fund that invests in high-quality senior secured debt of various middle-market companies. SSLP is included within a business held for sale in connection with the GE Capital Exit Plan. Other significant unconsolidated VIEs include exposures to joint ventures that purchase factored receivables ($1,848 million).

The classification of our variable interests in these entities in our financial statements is based on the nature of the entity and the type of investment we hold. Variable interests in partnerships and corporate entities are classified as either equity method or cost method investments. In the ordinary course of business, we also make investments in entities in which we are not the primary beneficiary but may hold a variable interest such as limited partner interests or mezzanine debt investments. These investments are classified in two captions in our financial statements: "All other assets" for investments accounted for under the equity method, and "Financing receivables – net" for debt financing provided to these entities.

The balance at March 31, 2015 primarily relates to our $8,377 million investment in asset-backed securities issued by SSLP which was included in Financing receivables – net and Other assets and investment securities for the period ended December 31, 2014.

In addition to the entities included in the table above, we also hold passive investments in RMBS, CMBS and asset-backed securities issued by VIEs. Such investments were, by design, investment-grade at issuance and held by a diverse group of investors. Further information about such investments is provided in Note 3.

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 $1,192 million, $(1,825) million and $633 million in the three months ended March 31, 2015, and $56 million, $(1,730) million and $1,674 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014, respectively.

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

As described in Note 4, our CLL and Consumer portfolios have been significantly reduced as most of these portfolios have been reclassified to either financing receivables held for sale or assets of businesses held for sale. In addition our Real Estate business has been classified as a discontinued operation.

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 March 31, 2015, TDRs included in impaired loans were $810 million, primarily relating to Consumer ($726 million) and GECAS ($82 million).

Impaired loans classified as TDRs in our CLL business were $2 million and $1,869 million at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, we modified $2 million of loans classified as TDRs. Changes to these loans primarily included extensions, interest only payment periods, debt to equity exchange and forbearance or other actions, which are in addition to, or sometimes in lieu of, fees and rate increases. Of our $633 million and $1,391 million of modifications classified as TDRs in the twelve months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, none and $19 million have subsequently experienced a payment default in the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

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. The recorded investment of these impaired loans totaled $726 million (with an unpaid principal balance of $625 million) with a specific allowance of $244 million at March 31, 2015.

Impaired loans classified as TDRs in our Consumer business were $726 million and $2,132 million at March 31, 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 three months ended March 31, 2015, we modified $120 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 $869 million and $1,339 million of modifications classified as TDRs in the twelve months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, $23 million and $57 million have subsequently experienced a payment default in the three months ended March 31, 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. Secured financing receivables within risk Category C are primarily composed of senior term lending facilities and factoring programs secured by various asset types including inventory, accounts receivable, cash, equipment, aircraft and related business facilities as well as franchise finance activities secured by underlying equipment.

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.

97 2015 1Q FORM 10-Q

At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, our unsecured commercial financing receivables included $181 million and $332 million rated A, $290 million and $408 million rated B, and none and $201 million rated C, respectively.

CONSUMER

At March 31, 2015, our U.S. consumer financing receivables included private-label credit card and sales financing for approximately 60 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.

	Refreshed FICO score

	661 or		601 to		600 or		661 or		601 to		600 or

revolving credit	$	40,761	$	11,681	$	4,486	$	43,466	$	11,865	$	4,532

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 March 31, 2015, Consumer – Other financing receivables of $1,038 million, $114 million and $168 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.

Exhibit 99(a)

FINANCIAL MEASURES THAT SUPPLEMENT U.S. GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES MEASURES (NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES)

We sometimes use information derived from consolidated financial information 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 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules. Specifically, we have referred to:

· Operating earnings (loss) and operating earnings (loss) per share (EPS) – Excluding the GE Capital exit impacts

· Operating and non-operating pension costs

· Consolidated and GECC Revenues – Excluding the GE Capital exit impacts

· Oil & Gas organic revenue and operating profit growth

· Industrial segment organic revenue growth

· 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 follow.

OPERATING EARNINGS (LOSS) AND EPS - EXCLUDING THE GE CAPITAL EXIT IMPACTS
	Three months ended March 31
(Dollars in millions; except per share amounts)	2015		2014		V%
Earnings (loss) from continuing operations attributable to GE	$	(11,371)	$	2,747	U
Adjustment (net of tax): non-operating pension costs		452		342
Operating earnings (loss)		(10,919)		3,089
Adjustment (net of tax) - GE Capital exit impacts:
GE Capital Day 1 charge		13,764		-
Real Estate in discontinued operations		72		240
Forgone tax benefit primarily associated with ANZ Consumer Lending disposition		231		-
Operating earnings excluding the GE Capital exit impacts		3,148		3,329	(5)%
Earnings (loss) per share – diluted(a)
Continuing earnings (loss) per share	$	(1.13)	$	0.27	U
Adjustment (net of tax): non-operating pension costs		0.04		0.03
Operating earnings (loss) per share		(1.08)		0.30	U
Adjustment (net of tax): GE Capital exit impacts		1.39		0.02
Operating earnings per share,
excluding the GE Capital exit impacts	$	0.31	$	0.33	(6)%

(a) Earnings-per-share amounts are computed independently. As a result, the sum of per-share amounts may not equal the total.

Operating earnings (loss) excludes non-service related pension costs of our principal pension plans comprising interest cost, expected return on plan assets and amortization of actuarial gains/losses. The service cost, prior service cost and curtailment loss components of our principal pension plans are included in operating earnings. We believe that these components of pension cost better reflect the ongoing service-related costs of providing pension benefits to our employees. As such, we believe that our measure of operating earnings (loss) provides management and investors with a useful measure of the operational results of our business. Other components of GAAP pension cost are mainly driven by capital allocation decisions and market performance, and we manage these separately from the operational performance of our businesses. Neither GAAP nor operating pension costs are necessarily indicative of the current or future cash flow requirements related to our pension plan. We also believe that this measure, considered along with the corresponding GAAP measure, provides management and investors with additional information for comparison of our operating results to the operating results of other companies.

We also believe that operating earnings and EPS excluding the effects of the GE Capital exit impacts, which include charges recorded in the first quarter of 2015, the classification of certain businesses as discontinued operations and forgone tax benefits, are meaningful measures because they increase the comparability of period-to-period results.

OPERATING AND NON-OPERATING PENSION COSTS
	Three months ended March 31
(In millions)	2015		2014
Service cost for benefits earned	$	361	$	318
Prior service cost amortization		52		54
Curtailment loss		71		-
Operating pension costs		484		372
Expected return on plan assets		(825)		(801)
Interest cost on benefit obligations		695		686
Net actuarial loss amortization		825		641
Non-operating pension costs		695		526
Total principal pension plans costs	$	1,179	$	898

We have provided the operating and non-operating components of cost for our principal pension plans.  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. We believe that the operating components of pension costs better reflects the ongoing service-related costs of providing pension benefits to our employees. We believe that the operating and non-operating components of cost for our principal pension plans, considered along with the corresponding GAAP measure, provide management and investors with additional information for comparison of our pension plan costs and operating results with the pension plan costs and operating results of other companies.

CONSOLIDATED AND GECC REVENUES - EXCLUDING THE GE CAPITAL EXIT IMPACTS
	Three Months Ended March 31
(Dollars in millions)		2015		2014	V%
Consolidated revenues from continuing operations		29,356		33,548	(12)%
Adjustment: GE Capital Day 1 charge		3,249		-
Adjustment: Real Estate in discontinued operations		499		630
Consolidated revenues excluding the GE Capital exit impacts	$	33,104	$	34,178	(3)%
GECC revenues from continuing operations		5,982		9,885	(39)%
Adjustment: GE Capital Day 1 charge		3,249		-
Adjustment: Real Estate in discontinued operations		499		630
Revenues excluding the GE Capital exit impacts	$	9,730	$	10,515	(7)%

We have presented our consolidated revenues and GECC revenues excluding the GE Capital exit impacts, which include certain charges recorded in the first quarter of 2015 and the classification of certain businesses as discontinued operations. We believe that revenues adjusted for these GE Capital exit impacts are meaningful measures because they increase the comparability of period-to-period results.

INDUSTRIAL SEGMENT ORGANIC REVENUE GROWTH
	Three months ended March 31
(Dollars in millions)		2015		2014	V%
Segment revenues:
Power & Water	$	5,716	$	5,509
Oil & Gas		3,961		4,308
Energy Management		1,685		1,672
Aviation		5,674		5,778
Healthcare		4,075		4,198
Transportation		1,308		1,227
Appliances & Lighting		1,941		1,857
Industrial segment revenues		24,360		24,549	(1)%
Less the effects of:
Acquisitions, business dispositions (other than dispositions of businesses acquired
for investment) and currency exchange rates		(769)		202
Industrial segment revenues excluding effects of acquisitions, business dispositions
(other than dispositions of businesses acquired for investment) and currency exchange
rates (Industrial segment organic revenues)	$	25,129	$	24,347	3 %

Organic revenue growth measures revenue excluding the effects of acquisitions, business dispositions and currency exchange rates. We believe that this measure provides management and investors with a more complete understanding of underlying operating results and trends of established, ongoing operations by excluding the effect of acquisitions, dispositions and currency exchange, which activities are subject to volatility and can obscure underlying trends. We also believe that presenting organic revenue growth separately for our industrial businesses provides management and investors with useful information about the trends of our industrial businesses and enables a more direct comparison to other non-financial businesses and companies. Management recognizes that the term "organic revenue growth" may be interpreted differently by other companies and under different circumstances. Although this may have an effect on comparability of absolute percentage growth from company to company, we believe that these measures are useful in assessing trends of the respective businesses or companies and may therefore be a useful tool in assessing period-to-period performance trends.

OIL & GAS ORGANIC REVENUE GROWTH
	Three Months Ended March 31
(Dollars in millions)		2015		2014	V%
Oil & Gas segment revenue	$	3,961	$	4,308	(8)%
Less the effects of:
Acquisitions, business dispositions (other than
dispositions of businesses acquired for investment)
and currency exchange rates		(239)		121
Oil & Gas revenues excluding effects of acquisitions,
business dispositions (other than dispositions of
businesses acquired for investment) and currency
exchange rates (Oil & Gas organic revenue)	$	4,200	$	4,187	-%

OIL & GAS ORGANIC OPERATING PROFIT GROWTH
	Three Months Ended March 31
(Dollars in millions)		2015		2014	V%
Oil & Gas segment profit	$	432	$	446	(3)%
Less the effects of:
Acquisitions, business dispositions (other than
dispositions of businesses acquired for investment)
and currency exchange rates		(64)		-
Oil & Gas segment profit excluding effects of acquisitions,
business dispositions (other than dispositions of
businesses acquired for investment) and currency
exchange rates (Oil & Gas organic operating profit)	$	496	$	446	11%

Organic revenue and operating profit growth measure revenue and profit excluding the effects of acquisitions, business dispositions and currency exchange rates. We believe that these measures provide management and investors with a more complete understanding of underlying operating results and trends of established, ongoing operations by excluding the effect of acquisitions, dispositions and currency exchange, which activities are subject to volatility and can obscure underlying trends. Management recognizes that the terms "organic revenue growth" and "organic operating profit growth" may be interpreted differently by other companies and under different circumstances. Although this may have an effect on comparability of absolute percentage growth from company to company, we believe that these measures are useful in assessing trends of the Oil & Gas business and may therefore be a useful tool in assessing period-to-period performance trends.

INDUSTRIAL CASH FLOWS FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES (INDUSTRIAL CFOA)
	Three months ended March 31
(Dollars in millions)		2015		2014	V%
Cash from GE's operating activities (continuing operations), as reported	$	1,340	$	1,750	(23)%
Less dividends from GECC		450		500
Cash from GE's operating activities (continuing operations),
excluding dividends from GECC (Industrial CFOA)	$	890	$	1,250	(29)%

We define "Industrial CFOA" as GE's cash from operating activities (continuing operations) less the amount of dividends received by GE from GECC. This includes the effects of intercompany transactions, including GE customer receivables sold to GECC; GECC services for trade receivables management and material procurement; buildings and equipment (including automobiles) leased by GE from 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. We believe that investors may find it useful to compare GE's operating cash flows without the effect of GECC dividends, since these dividends are not representative of the operating cash flows of our industrial businesses and can vary from period to period based upon the results of the financial services businesses. Management recognizes that this measure may not be comparable to cash flow results of companies which contain both industrial and financial services businesses, but believes that this comparison is aided by the provision of additional information about the amounts of dividends paid by our financial services business and the separate presentation in our financial statements of the GECC cash flows. We believe that our measure of Industrial CFOA provides management and investors with a useful measure to compare the capacity of our industrial operations to generate operating cash flow with the operating cash flow of other non-financial businesses and companies and as such provides a useful measure to supplement the reported GAAP CFOA measure.

GE CAPITAL ENDING NET INVESTMENT (ENI), EXCLUDING LIQUIDITY
(In billions)	March 31, 2015		December 31, 2014(b)
Financial Services (GECC) total assets	$	476.5		$	500.2
Less assets of discontinued operations		31.3			1.2
Less non-interest bearing liabilities		66.0			60.5
GE Capital ENI		379.2			438.5
Less liquidity(a)		76.4			75.5
GE Capital ENI, excluding liquidity	$	302.8		$	363.0

(a) Liquidity includes debt obligations of the U.S. Treasury of $2.8 billion and $1.2 billion at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

(b) As originally reported.

We use ENI to measure the size of our GE Capital segment. We believe that this measure is a useful indicator of the capital (debt or equity) required to fund a business as it adjusts for non-interest bearing current liabilities generated in the normal course of business that do not require a capital outlay. We also believe that by excluding liquidity, we provide a meaningful measure of assets requiring capital to fund our GE Capital segment as a substantial amount of liquidity resulted from debt issuances to pre-fund future debt maturities and will not be used to fund additional assets. Liquidity consists of cash and equivalents and certain debt obligations of the U.S. Treasury. As a general matter, investments included in liquidity are expected to be highly liquid, giving us the ability to readily convert them to cash. Providing this measure will help investors measure how we are performing against our previously communicated goal to reduce the size of our financial services segment.

GECC TIER 1 COMMON RATIO ESTIMATE(a)
	Three months ended March 31
(In billions)	2015		2014
Shareowners' equity(b)	$	70.7	$	84.6
Adjustments:
Preferred equity		(4.9)		(4.9)
Goodwill and other intangible assets		(22.0)		(26.9)
Other additions (deductions)		1.2		0.2
GECC Tier 1 common		45.0		53.0
Estimated risk-weighted assets(c)		422.8		464.3
GECC Tier 1 common ratio estimate		10.6%		11.4%

(a) Includes discontinued operations.

(b) Total equity excluding noncontrolling interests.

(c) Based on Basel 3 risk-weighted assets estimates.

The GECC Tier 1 common ratio estimate is the ratio of Tier 1 common equity to total risk-weighted assets as calculated based on our interpretation of the standardized U.S. Basel 3 capital rules on a transitional basis. We are not required by regulators to disclose this capital ratio, and therefore this capital ratio is considered a non-GAAP financial measure. We believe that this capital ratio is a useful measure to investors because it is widely used by analysts and regulators to assess the capital position of financial services companies.

Credit Quality Financing Receivables [Abstract]

Supplemental Information About Credit Quality Of Financing Receivables And Allowance For Losses On Financing Receivables

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

As described in Note 4, our CLL and Consumer portfolios have been significantly reduced as most of these portfolios have been reclassified to either financing receivables held for sale or assets of businesses held for sale. In addition our Real Estate business has been classified as a discontinued operation.

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.

(a)Write-offs to net realizable value are recognized against the allowance for losses primarily in the reporting period in which management has deemed all or a portion of the financing receivable to be uncollectible, but not later than 360 days after initial recognition of a specific reserve for a collateral dependent loan.

(b)We recognized $6 million, $178 million and $57millionof interest income, including none on a cash basis, in the three months endedMarch 31, 2015, the year ended December 31, 2014 and the three months endedMarch 31, 2014, respectively, principally in CLL. The total average investment in impaired loans for the three months endedMarch 31, 2015 and the year ended December 31, 2014 was $1,671 million and $3,596million, respectively.

(c)We recognized $23 million, $126 million and $46million of interest income, including $1 million, $5 million and an insignificant amount on a cash basis, in the three months endedMarch 31, 2015, the year ended December 31, 2014 and the three months endedMarch 31, 2014, respectively. The total average investment in impaired loans for the three months endedMarch 31, 2015 and the year ended December 31, 2014 was $1,452 million and $2,667 million, respectively.

(d)Unpaid principal balance excludes accrued interest and fees.

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 March 31, 2015, TDRs included in impaired loans were $810 million, primarily relating to Consumer ($726 million) and GECAS ($82 million).

Impaired loans classified as TDRs in our CLL business were $2 million and $1,869 million at March 31, 2015and December 31, 2014, respectively. For the three months endedMarch 31, 2015, we modified $2 million of loans classified as TDRs. Changes to these loans primarily included extensions, interest only payment periods, debt to equity exchange and forbearance or other actions, which are in addition to, or sometimes in lieu of, fees and rate increases. Of our $633 million and $1,391million of modifications classified as TDRs in the twelve months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, none and $19 million have subsequently experienced a payment default in the three months endedMarch 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

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. The recorded investment of these impaired loans totaled $726 million (with an unpaid principal balance of $625 million) with a specific allowance of $244 million at March 31, 2015.

Impaired loans classified as TDRs in our Consumer business were $726 million and $2,132 million at March 31, 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 three months endedMarch 31, 2015, we modified $120million 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 $869 million and $1,339million of modifications classified as TDRsin the twelve months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively,$23million and $57 million have subsequently experienced a payment default in the three months endedMarch 31, 2015and 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. Secured financing receivables within risk Category C are primarily composed of senior term lending facilities and factoring programs secured by various asset types including inventory, accounts receivable, cash, equipment, aircraft and related business facilities as well as franchise finance activities secured by underlying equipment.

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 March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, our unsecured commercial financing receivables included $181 million and $332 million rated A, $290 million and $408 million rated B, and noneand $201 million rated C, respectively.

Consumer

At March 31, 2015, our U.S. consumer financing receivables included private-label credit card and sales financing for approximately 60 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.

	Refreshed FICO score
	March 31, 2015						December 31, 2014
	661 or		601 to		600 or		661 or		601 to		600 or

revolving credit	$	40,761	$	11,681	$	4,486	$	43,466	$	11,865	$	4,532

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 March 31, 2015, Consumer – Other financing receivables of $1,038 million, $114 million and $168 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.

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

Assets and Liabilities of Businesses Held for Sale

In the first quarter of 2015, in connection with the GE Capital Exit Plan, we committed to sell certain businesses within our CLL business, with assets of $44,398million and liabilities of $3,871million. Upon classification as held for sale, we recorded an estimated loss on disposal of $1,845 million ($2,822 million after tax) in revenues. In addition, we signed an agreement to sell our consumer finance business in Australia and New Zealand (ANZ Consumer Lending), with assets of $6,093million and liabilities of $286million, to a consortium including KKR, Varde Partners and Deutsche Bank for approximately 6,800million Australian dollars and 1,400million New Zealand dollars, respectively, and is targeted to close in 2015. 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 at Transportation, with assets of $236 million and liabilities of $130 million to Alstom for approximately $800 million, and our consumer finance business Budapest Bank, with assets of $3,107 million and liabilities of $2,177 million to Hungary’s government. The transactions remain subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals, and are targeted to close in 2015.

In the third quarter of 2014, we signed an agreement to sell our Appliances business with assets of $2,704 million and liabilities of $1,417 million to Electrolux for approximately $3,300 million.

FINANCING RECEIVABLES HELD FOR SALE

In the first quarter of 2015, in connection with the GE Capital Exit Plan, we committed to sell most of our CLL and 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 $3,955 million ($3,341 million after tax) and wrote-off the associated balance of the allowance for loan losses of $5,072 million to reduce the carrying value of the financing receivables to the lower of cost or fair value, less cost to sell.

REAL ESTATE

In connection with the GE Capital Exit Plan, we announced the planned disposition of our Real Estate business and classified the business as discontinued operations and recorded an estimated loss on disposal of $1,808million ($2,354million after tax). We expect to complete the disposal by the end of 2015.

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 March 31, 2015, such claims consisted of $3,689million of individual claims generally submitted before the filing of a lawsuit (compared to $3,694 million at December 31, 2014) and $8,982 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, $12,671 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 March 31, 2015, these amounts do not include approximately $429million 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 statutes of limitations.

Reserves related to repurchase claims made against WMC were $814 million at March 31, 2015, reflecting a net increase to reserves in the three months endedMarch 31, 2015 of $5 million due to incremental provisions offset by settlement activity. 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. 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.

Balance, beginning of period	$	809	$	800

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. Taking into account both recent settlement activity and the potential variability of settlements, WMC estimates a range of reasonably possible loss from $0 to approximately $500 million over its recorded reserve at March 31, 2015. 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 March 31, 2015, there were 15lawsuits involving claims made against WMC arising from alleged breaches of representations and warranties on mortgage loans included in 14securitizations. 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 (such as the New York Court of Appeals’ decision on statute of limitations, expected in 2015), 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.

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.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies

Notes toConsolidated 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 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 (2014 consolidated financial statements), 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. Unless otherwise indicated, information in these notes to the consolidated financial statements relates to continuing operations.

THE GE Capital Exit Plan

On April 10, 2015, the Company announced a plan (theGE Capital Exit Plan) to reduce the size of its financial services businesses through the sale of most of the assets of GECC over the next 24 months, and to focus on continued investment and growth in the Company’s industrial businesses. Under theGE 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. 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).

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 $210,107 million of GECC debt as of April 10, 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.

We recorded $16,118 million of after-tax charges ($13,764 million of which is attributable to continuing operations and $2,354 million of which is attributable to discontinued operations) in the first quarter of 2015 related to the GE Capital Exit Plan. The first quarter charges recorded in continuing operations include tax expense related to expected repatriation of foreign earnings and write-off of deferred tax assets ($5,980 million), asset impairments due to shortened hold periods ($4,962 million), and charges on businesses held for sale ($2,822 million), including goodwill allocation.

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. We label our quarterly information using a calendar convention, that is, first quarter is labeled as ending on March 31, second quarter as ending on June 30, and third quarter as ending on September 30.

summary of significant accounting policies

We utilized significant estimates in the preparation of the first 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 2014 Form 10-K Report for a summary of our significant 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 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 a result of the GE Capital Exit Plan, 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 March 31, 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 March 31, 2015.

We will 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.

Financial Instruments

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.

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 March 31, 2015, we were party to repurchase agreements totaling $45 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 March 31, 2015, we were party to reverse repurchase agreements totaling $12.1 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 $258,000 million, approximately 86% or $223,000 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.

Derivatives are classified in the captions “All other assets” and “All other liabilities” and the related accrued interest is classified in “Other GECC receivables” and “All other liabilities” in our financial statements.

• The netting of derivative receivables and payables is permitted when a legally enforceable master netting agreement exists. Amounts include fair value adjustments related to our own and counterparty non-performance risk. At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the cumulative adjustment for non-performance risk was a gain (loss) of $6 million and $9 million, respectively.
• Excluded excess cash collateral received and posted of $157 million and $255 millionat March 31, 2015, respectively, and $63 million and $211 million at December 31, 2014, respectively.
• Excluded excess securities collateral received of $196 million and $317 million at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

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.

Fair value hedges resulted in $(32) million and $(16)million of ineffectiveness in the three months endedMarch 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. In both the three months endedMarch 31, 2015 and 2014, there were insignificant amounts excluded from the assessment of effectiveness.

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.

(a) Gain (loss) is recorded in GECC revenues from services, interest and other financial charges, and other costs and expenses when reclassified to earnings.

The total pre-tax amount in AOCI related to cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions was a $205 million loss at March 31, 2015. We expect to transfer $303 million to earnings as an expense in the next 12 months contemporaneously with the earnings effects of the related forecasted transactions. In both the three months endedMarch 31, 2015and 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 March 31, 2015 and 2014, the maximum term of derivative instruments that hedge forecasted transactions was 18 years and 19 years, respectively. See Note11 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 to protect our net investments in global operations conducted in non-U.S. dollar currencies. For derivatives 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 derivative 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 the forward points, which reflects the interest rate differential between the two countries on the derivative, is excluded from the effectiveness assessment.

Reclassifications from CTA of $974million and $(3)million were recorded in GECCrevenues from services and $(189)million and $13million in discontinued operations in the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The amounts related to the change in the fair value of the forward points that are excluded from the measure of effectiveness were $(44) million and $(142) million in the three months endedMarch 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and were recorded in interest and other financial charges.

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 three months endedMarch 31, 2015 on derivatives not designated as hedges were $(3,094) million composed of amounts related to interest rate contracts of $(44) million, currency exchange contracts of $(3,031) million, and other derivatives of $(19) million. These losses were more than offset by the earnings effects from the underlying items that were economically hedged. Gains (losses) for the three months endedMarch 31, 2014 on derivatives not designated as hedges were $1,097 million composed of amounts related to currency exchange contracts of $1,126 million and other derivatives of $(29) 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 $5,648 million at March 31, 2015, of which $3,323 million was cash and $2,325 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 $493 million at March 31, 2015. At March 31, 2015, our exposure to counterparties (including accrued interest), net of collateral we hold, was $1,389 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 $1,035 million at March 31, 2015. This excludes embedded derivatives.

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 a tax expense of $5,980million in the first quarter of 2015 consisting of $3,549 million related to expected repatriation of excess foreign cash in the amount of approximately $36 billion and the write-off of deferred tax assets of $2,431 million that will no longer be supported under this plan.

GECC’s indefinitely reinvested earnings will be reduced as the expected repatriation of cash will include a portion of the earnings that prior to the approval of the GE Capital Exit Plan were 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 with the remainder continuing 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.

UNRECOGNIZED TAX BENEFITS

UNRECOGNIZED TAX BENEFITS
(In millions)	March 31, 2015		December 31, 2014
Unrecognized tax benefits	$	5,444	$	5,619
Portion that, if recognized, would reduce tax expense and effective tax rate(a)		4,020		4,059
Accrued interest on unrecognized tax benefits		814		807
Accrued penalties on unrecognized tax benefits		96		103
Reasonably possible reduction to the balance of unrecognized tax benefits
in succeeding 12 months		0-800		0-900
Portion that, if recognized, would reduce tax expense and effective tax rate(a)		0-300		0-300

(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.

Variable Interest Entities

Variable Interest Entities [Abstract]

Variable Interest Entities

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. Except as noted below, 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 three main groups, which are further described below:

• Trinity comprises two consolidated entities that hold investment securities, the majority of which are investment-grade, and were funded by the issuance of GICs. The GICs include conditions under which certain holders could require immediate repayment of their investment should the long-term credit ratings of GECC fall below AA-/Aa3 or the short-term credit ratings fall below A-1+/P-1. The outstanding GICs are subject to their scheduled maturities and individual terms, which may include provisions permitting redemption upon a downgrade of one or more of GECC’s ratings, among other things, and are reported in investment contracts, insurance liabilities and insurance annuity benefits.
• 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. The creditors of these entities have no claim on other assets of GE.

• Other remaining assets and liabilities of consolidated VIEs relate primarily to three categories of entities: (1) joint ventures that lease equipment with $1,587 million of assets and $679million of liabilities; (2) other entities that are involved in power generating and leasing activities with $339 million of assets and $207million of liabilities; and (3) insurance entities that, among other lines of business, provide property and casualty and workers’ compensation coverage for GE with $1,193 million of assets and $547million of liabilities.

• Excluded intercompany advances from GECC to Trinity, which were eliminated in consolidation of $1,565 million and $1,565 million at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.
• 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 March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the amounts of commingled cash owed to the CSEs were $2,702 million and $2,809million, respectively, and the amounts owed to us by CSEs were $2,735 million and $2,913million, respectively.
• 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.
• Included $659 million and $686 million of receivables at March 31, 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.
• Included $15.2 billion of financing receivables at March 31, 2015 classified as financing receivables held for sale in connection with the GE Capital Exit Plan.

Total revenues from our consolidated VIEs were $2,003 million and $1,835 million inthe three months endedMarch 31,2015 and 2014, respectively. Related expenses consisted primarily of provisions for losses of $229 million and $301 million inthe three months endedMarch 31,2015 and 2014, respectively, and interest and other financial charges of $91 million and $81 million inthe three months endedMarch 31,2015 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.

Our largest exposure to any single unconsolidated VIE at March 31, 2015 is a $8,377million investment in asset-backed securities issued by the Senior Secured Loan Program (SSLP), a fund that invests in high-quality senior secured debt of various middle-market companies. SSLP is included within a business held for sale in connection with the GE Capital Exit Plan. Other significant unconsolidated VIEs include exposures to joint ventures that purchase factored receivables ($1,848million).

The classification of our variable interests in these entities in our financial statements is based on the nature of the entity and the type of investment we hold. Variable interests in partnerships and corporate entities are classified as either equity method or cost method investments. In the ordinary course of business, we also make investments in entities in which we are not the primary beneficiary but may hold a variable interest such as limited partner interests or mezzanine debt investments. These investments are classified in two captions in our financial statements: “All other assets” for investments accounted for under the equity method, and “Financing receivables – net” for debt financing provided to these entities.

Acquisitions, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

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 aspossible. Given the time it takes to obtain pertinent information to finalize the acquired company’s balance sheet, then to adjust the acquiredcompany’s accounting policies, procedures, and books and records to our standards, it is often several quarters before we are able to finalizethose 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 $750 million and amortizable intangible assets of approximately $300 million. The allocation of the purchase price will be finalized upon completion of post-closing procedures.

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, GE, 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 €2,600 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. The proposed transaction continues to be subject to regulatory approvals, which is currently in process. The transaction is targeted to close in 2015.

The acquisition and alliances with Alstom will impact our Power & Water and Energy Management segments. The impact of the 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 purchase accounting.

Goodwill balances decreased by $6,412 million in the three months endedMarch 31, 2015, primarily as a result of the reclassification of goodwill associated with certain businesses within our CLL business, in connection with the GE Capital Exit Plan, and ANZ Consumer Lending to assets of businesses held for sale and the result of currency exchange effects of a stronger U.S. dollar, partially offset by the acquisition of Milestone Aviation.

As businesses meet the criteria for held for sale, we allocate goodwill to such businesses and assess the remaining reporting unit goodwill for impairment.

Our GE Capital - CLL reporting unit had a goodwill balance of $13,058 million at January 1, 2015. As a result of the GE Capital Exit Plan, we allocated $4,457 million of the GE Capital - CLL reporting unit goodwill to the carrying values of the assets of businesses held for sale. The remaining GE Capital - CLL goodwill was then tested for impairment using data as of January 1, 2015.

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 of the reporting unit exceeds 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 value for the GE Capital - CLL reporting unit using the market approach, which was derived from metrics of publicly traded companies or historically completed transactions of comparable businesses. The selection of comparable companies is based on the markets in which the GE Capital - CLL reporting unit businesses operate giving consideration to risk profiles, size, geography, and diversity of products and services.

While the carrying value of the GE Capital - CLL reporting unit was within the range of estimated fair values, we further substantiated our GE Capital - CLL goodwill balance by performing the second step analysis in which the implied fair value of goodwill exceeded its carrying value and accordingly, no goodwill impairment was recognized.

Additionally, our GE Capital - Consumer reporting unit had a goodwill balance of $9,777 million at January 1, 2015. During the first quarter of 2015, we signed an agreement to sell ANZ Consumer Lending and upon classification as held for sale, we allocated $410 million of GE Capital - Consumer reporting unit goodwill to the carrying value of the business. The remaining GE Capital - Consumer reporting unit goodwill was then tested for impairment using data as of January 1, 2015. Fair value of the GE Capital - Consumer reporting unit was determined using an income approach and incorporating market observable data. The fair value of the GE Capital - Consumer reporting unit exceeded its carrying value, and therefore, goodwill was not impaired.

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 $644 million in the three months endedMarch 31, 2015, primarily as a result of currency exchange effects of a stronger U.S. dollar and the reclassification of intangible assets associated with certain businesses within our CLL business, in connection with the GE Capital Exit Plan, and ANZ Consumer Lending to assets of businesses held for sale, partially offset by the acquisition of Milestone Aviation.

• Earnings effects are primarily included in the “GECC revenues from services” and “Interest and other financial charges” captions in the Statement of Earnings (Loss).
• Transfers in and out of Level 3 are considered to occur at the beginning of the period. Transfers out of Level 3 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 were primarily a result of the reclassification of investments in our CLL business in asset-backed securities collateralized by senior secured loans of high-quality, middle-market companies in a variety of industries to assets of business held for sale. Transfers out of Level 3 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were primarily a result of increased use of quotes from independent pricing vendors based on recent trading activity.
• Represents the amount of unrealized gains or losses for the period included in earnings.
• Represents derivative assets net of derivative liabilities and included cash accruals of $10 million and $6 million not reflected in the fair value hierarchy table for the three months endedMarch 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
• Gains (losses) included in net realized/unrealized gains (losses) included in earnings were offset by the earnings effects from the underlying items that were economically hedged. See Note 15.

• Discount rates are determined based on inputs that market participants would use when pricing investments, including credit and liquidity risk. An increase in the discount rate would result in a decrease in the fair value.
• Represents the rate of return on net operating income that is considered acceptable for an investor and is used to determine a property’s capitalized value. An increase in the capitalization rate would result in a decrease in the fair value.

At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, other Level 3 recurring fair value measurements of $2,679 million and $2,600 million, respectively, and non-recurring measurements of $3,741 million and $844 million, respectively, are valued using non-binding broker quotes or other third-party sources. At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, other recurring fair value measurements of $94 million and $261 million, respectively, and non-recurring fair value measurements of $53 million and $108 million, respectively, were individually insignificant and utilize a number of different unobservable inputs not subject to meaningful aggregation.

• Earnings effects are primarily included in the “GECC revenues from services” and “Interest and other financial charges” captions in the Statement of Earnings (Loss).
• Transfers in and out of Level 3 are considered to occur at the beginning of the period. Transfers out of Level 3 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 were primarily a result of the reclassification of investments in our CLL business in asset-backed securities collateralized by senior secured loans of high-quality, middle-market companies in a variety of industries to assets of business held for sale. Transfers out of Level 3 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were primarily a result of increased use of quotes from independent pricing vendors based on recent trading activity.
• Represents the amount of unrealized gains or losses for the period included in earnings.
• Represents derivative assets net of derivative liabilities and included cash accruals of $10 million and $6 million not reflected in the fair value hierarchy table for the three months endedMarch 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
• Gains (losses) included in net realized/unrealized gains (losses) included in earnings were offset by the earnings effects from the underlying items that were economically hedged. See Note 15.

• Discount rates are determined based on inputs that market participants would use when pricing investments, including credit and liquidity risk. An increase in the discount rate would result in a decrease in the fair value.
• Represents the rate of return on net operating income that is considered acceptable for an investor and is used to determine a property’s capitalized value. An increase in the capitalization rate would result in a decrease in the fair value.

(a) Substantially collateralized by U.S. mortgages. At March 31, 2015, $1,191 million related to securities issued by government-sponsored entities and $34 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 $41,992 million at March 31, 2015, from $47,558 million at December 31, 2014, primarily due to asset-backed debt securities, collateralized by senior secured loans of high-quality, middle-market companies in a variety of industries, which were transferred to assets of businesses held for sale in connection with the GE Capital Exit Plan. This decrease was partially offset by purchases of U.S. government and federal agency securities primarily at Synchrony Financial and Trinity.

Includes the estimated fair value of and gross unrealized losses on Equity securities held by GE. At March 31, 2015, the estimated fair value of and gross unrealized losses on Equity securities were $5 million and $(4)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 related to securities that had other-than-temporary impairments previously recognized of an insignificant amount at March 31, 2015.

(c)The majority relate to debt securities held to support obligations to holders of GICs and more than 70% are debt securities that were considered to be investment-grade by the major rating agencies at March 31, 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 March 31, 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.

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 March 31, 2015, $1,191 million and $34 million related to agency and non-agency securities, respectively. Additionally, $65 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), a majority 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 $3,561 million and $1,327 million inthe three months endedMarch 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, principally from sales of short-term government securities in our bank subsidiaries and redemptions of non-U.S. corporate and asset-backed securities in our CLL business. In addition, proceeds from investment securities sales in the three months endedMarch 31, 2015 included $1,627million principally from sales of CMBS, RMBS and state and municipal securities at Trinity.

We recognized pre-tax gains (losses) on trading securities of $(2) million and $(5) million inthe three months endedMarch 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Business Held for Sale Policy

summary of significant accounting policies

We utilized significant estimates in the preparation of the first 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 2014 Form 10-K Report for a summary of our significant 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 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 a result of the GE Capital Exit Plan, 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 March 31, 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 March 31, 2015.

We will 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.

• Our unvested restricted stock unit awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are considered participating securities. For the period ended March 31, 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 period ended March 31, 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.
• Included an insignificant amount of dividend equivalents in each of the periods presented.

As a result of the loss from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015, all of the outstanding stock awards, approximately 312 million, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share because their effect was antidilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, approximately 72million 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).
