NOTE 21. INTERCOMPANY TRANSACTIONS

Transactions between related companies are made on arm's length terms and are reported in the GE and GE Capital columns of our financial statements, which we believe provide useful supplemental information to our consolidated financial statements. These transactions are eliminated in consolidation and may include, but are not limited to, the following:


•	GE Capital working capital services to GE, including current receivables and supply chain finance programs,


•	GE Capital enabled GE industrial orders, including related GE guarantees to GE Capital,


•	GE Capital financing of GE long-term receivables, and


•	Aircraft engines, power equipment and renewable energy equipment manufactured by GE that are installed on GE Capital investments, including leased equipment.

In addition to the above transactions that primarily enable growth for the GE businesses, there are routine related party transactions, which include, but are not limited to, the following:


•	Expenses related to parent-subsidiary pension plans,


•	Buildings and equipment leased between GE and GE Capital, including sale-leaseback transactions,


•	Information technology (IT) and other services sold to GE Capital by GE


•	Settlements of tax liabilities, and


•	Various investments, loans and allocations of GE corporate overhead costs.

Presented below is a walk of intercompany eliminations from the unconsolidated GE and GE Capital totals to the consolidated cash flows.
