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 and earnings per share of GE Capital's retained businesses (Verticals); expected income; earnings per share; revenues; organic growth; growth and productivity associated with our Digital business; margins; cost structure; restructuring charges; acquisition-related synergies; cash flows; return on capital; capital expenditures, capital allocation or capital structure; dividends; and the split between Industrial and 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:

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

	our ability to reduce costs as we execute that plan;

	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 execute that plan;

	the impact of conditions in the financial and credit markets on the availability and cost of GE Capital Global Holdings, LLC's (GE Capital) funding, and GE Capital's exposure to counterparties;

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

	pending and future mortgage loan repurchase claims and other litigation claims and investigations 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 amount and timing 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;

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

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

	the price we realize on orders/bookings 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;

	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 our announced plan and transactions to reduce the size of our financial services businesses;

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

	our ability to realize anticipated earnings and savings from announced transactions, acquired businesses and joint ventures, including Alstom;

	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, 2015.

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.

2016 2Q FORM 10-Q 3

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

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 GE Capital Global Holdings, LLC, and its predecessor, General Electric Capital Corporation (GE Capital or Financial Services).

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, along with further disaggregation of our results into segments and GE Capital Verticals, 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 GE Capital, whose continuing operations are presented on a one-line basis, giving effect to the elimination of transactions among such affiliates. Transactions between GE and GE Capital have not been eliminated at the GE level. We present the results of GE in the center column 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 – the predecessor to GE Capital Global Holdings, LLC.

	GE Capital Global Holdings, LLC or GECGH – the adding together of all affiliates of GECGH, giving effect to the elimination of transactions among such affiliates.



GE Capital or Financial Services – refers to GECGH, or its predecessor GECC, and is the adding together of all affiliates of GE Capital giving effect to the elimination of transactions among such affiliates. We present the results of GE Capital in the right-side column of our consolidated statements of earnings, financial position and cash flows.

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



Industrial – GE excluding the continuing operations of GE Capital. 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 GE Capital.



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



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

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

2016 2Q FORM 10-Q 4

Discussion of GE Capital's total assets includes deferred income tax liabilities, which are presented within assets for purposes of our consolidated statement of financial position presentations for this filing.

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

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

The MD&A should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and Notes to the consolidated financial statements.

OTHER TERMS USED BY GE

	Backlog – unfilled customer orders for products and product services (expected life of contract sales for product services).



Digital revenues – revenues related to software-enabled product upgrades, internally developed software (including Predix) and associated hardware, and software-enabled productivity solutions. These revenues are largely generated from our operating businesses and are included in their segment results.



Ending Net Investment (ENI) – the total capital we have invested in the Financial Services business. It is the sum of short-term borrowings, long-term borrowings and equity (excluding noncontrolling interests) adjusted for unrealized gains and losses on investment securities and hedging instruments.



Industrial operating profit margin – Industrial segment profit plus corporate items and eliminations (excluding gains, restructuring, and pre-tax non-operating pension costs) divided by industrial segment revenues plus corporate items and eliminations (excluding gains and GE-GE Capital eliminations).

	Industrial segment gross margin – industrial segment sales less industrial segment cost of sales.

	Net earnings – unless otherwise indicated, we refer to captions such as "net earnings attributable to GE common shareowners" as net earnings.

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

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

2016 2Q FORM 10-Q 5



Product services – for purposes of the financial statement display of sales and costs of sales in our Statement of Earnings, "goods" is required by SEC regulations to include all sales of tangible products, and "services" must include all other sales, including other services activities. In our MD&A section of this report, we refer to sales under product services agreements and sales of both goods (such as spare parts and equipment upgrades) and related services (such as monitoring, maintenance and repairs) as sales of "product services," which is an important part of our operations. We refer to "product services" simply as "services" within the MD&A.



Product services agreements – contractual commitments, with multiple-year terms, to provide specified services for products in our Power, Renewable Energy, Oil & Gas, Aviation and Transportation installed base – for example, monitoring, maintenance, service and spare parts for a gas turbine/generator set installed in a customer's power plant.

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

	Segment profit – refers to the operating profit of the industrial segments and the net earnings of the Financial Services segment. See the Segment Operations section within the MD&A for a description of the basis for segment profits.

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 report, to:

	Industrial segment organic revenues

	Operating and non-operating pension costs

	Adjusted Corporate costs (operating)

	Industrial operating and GE Capital earnings (loss) from continuing operations and EPS

	Industrial operating + Verticals earnings and EPS

	Industrial operating profit and operating profit margin (excluding certain items)

	Industrial segment operating profit and operating profit margin (excluding Alstom)

	Industrial cash flows from operating activities (Industrial CFOA) and Industrial CFOA excluding taxes related to the Appliances business sale

	Capital ending net investment (ENI), excluding liquidity

The reasons we use these non-GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the Supplemental Information section within this MD&A. Non-GAAP financial measures referred to in this report are designated with an asterisk (*).

GE CAPITAL

GE Capital results include continuing operations, which are reported in the Capital segment (see Segment discussion), and discontinued operations (see Discontinued Operations section and Note 2).

THE GE CAPITAL EXIT PLAN

On April 10, 2015, the Company announced a plan (the GE Capital Exit Plan) to create a simple, more valuable company by reducing the size of its financial services businesses through the sale of most of the assets of GE Capital over the following 24 months and aligning a smaller GE Capital with GE'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 GE Capital businesses, principally its vertical financing businesses—GE Capital Aviation Services (GECAS), Energy Financial Services (EFS) and Industrial Finance (which includes Healthcare Equipment Finance, Working Capital Solutions and Industrial Financing Solutions)—that relate to the Company's core industrial domain and other operations, including our run-off insurance activities, and allocated corporate costs (together referred to as GE Capital Verticals or Verticals).

We expect GE Capital to release approximately $35 billion in dividends to GE (subject to regulatory approval) as a result of the sale of GE Capital assets. We received $4.3 billion in dividends from GE Capital in 2015 and $11 billion in the first half of 2016. In July 2016, we received an additional $4 billion of common dividends from GE Capital bringing our year-to-date total to $15 billion. As of June 30, 2016, we are ahead of our plan, having signed agreements with buyers for $181 billion of ending net investment (ENI), excluding liquidity (as originally reported at December 31, 2014), of which $158 billion has closed. In addition, as part of our initiative to reduce the size of our financial services businesses, we completed the split-off of our remaining interest in GE Capital's North American Retail Finance business, Synchrony Financial, to holders of GE common stock, which resulted in a $20.4 billion buyback of GE common stock (671.4 million shares) in 2015. In connection with the GE Capital Exit Plan, we completed a legal reorganization of GE Capital that included a merger of GE Capital into GE, a guarantee by GE of GE Capital debt, and an exchange of $36 billion of GE Capital debt for new notes guaranteed by GE. The result of all these actions reduced GE Capital's total assets by 56% from $501 billion at December 31, 2014 to $219 billion at June 30, 2016. As of June 30, 2016, we incurred charges of $23.2 billion. Due to anticipated tax benefits and gains, we do not expect total after-tax charges through the completion of the GE Capital Exit Plan to exceed our initial $23 billion estimate.

Given the progress of the GE Capital Exit Plan to date, we expect to largely complete that plan by the end of 2016. On March 31, 2016, GE filed its request to the Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC) for rescission of GE Capital's designation as a nonbank Systemically Important Financial Institution (SIFI). On June 28, 2016, we received approval of our request to the FSOC for rescission of GE Capital's designation as a nonbank SIFI.

SALES AGREEMENTS

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, GE signed agreements to sell approximately $25 billion of ENI, excluding liquidity (as originally reported at December 31, 2014), of which approximately $8 billion, $16 billion and less than $1 billion related to our Commercial Lending and Leasing (CLL), Consumer and Real Estate businesses, respectively.

Of the signed agreements, sales representing approximately $54 billion of ENI, excluding liquidity (as originally reported at December 31, 2014) have closed during the first half of 2016, including approximately $46 billion, $8 billion and less than $1 billion related to our CLL, Consumer and Real Estate businesses, respectively.

In July, we signed an additional $7.9 billion of ENI, excluding liquidity (as originally reported at December 31, 2014), which related to our CLL and Consumer businesses and closed $10.2 billion of ENI, excluding liquidity (as originally reported at December 31, 2014), which related to our CLL business.

2016 2Q FORM 10-Q 12

AFTER-TAX CHARGES RELATED TO THE GE CAPITAL EXIT PLAN

In the six months ended June 30, 2016, GE recorded $1.2 billion of after-tax charges related to the GE Capital Exit Plan of which $0.4 billion was recorded in continuing operations and $0.8 billion was recorded in discontinued operations. Of these after-tax charges, $0.6 billion were recorded in the second quarter of 2016, primarily exit-related charges in our CLL business. A description of these after-tax charges for the six months ended June 30, 2016 is provided below.

	$0.7 billion of net loss primarily related to the completed and planned dispositions of most of the CLL businesses, which was recorded in discontinued operations under the caption "Earnings (loss) from discontinued operations, net of taxes" in the Statement of Earnings.

	$0.3 billion of charges associated with the preferred equity exchange that was completed in January 2016, which was recorded in continuing operations and reported in GE Capital's corporate component under the caption "Preferred stock dividends" in the Statement of Earnings.



$0.2 billion of restructuring and other charges, of which $0.1 billion was recorded in discontinued operations under the caption "Earnings (loss) from discontinued operations, net of taxes" in the Statement of Earnings and $0.1 billion was recorded in continuing operations and reported in GE Capital's corporate component under the captions "Selling, general and administrative expenses" and "Other costs and expenses" in the Statement of Earnings.

For additional information about the GE Capital Exit Plan 2015 sales agreements and after-tax charges, refer to our Form 8-K filed on June 3, 2016 related to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

In addition to the above charges, during the six months ended June 30, 2016, we have incurred other costs related to our ongoing liability management actions, including $0.5 billion of pre-tax losses related to the repurchase of $10.2 billion of long-term unsecured debt and subordinated debentures which were recorded in continuing operations. These charges will result in lower future interest costs, more than offsetting the initial charges. We expect to continue these actions when economically beneficial.

2016 2Q FORM 10-Q 14

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. For additional information about costs excluded from segment profit, see Corporate Items and Eliminations section within this MD&A.

Segment profit excludes results reported as discontinued operations and material 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, income taxes and GE preferred stock dividends are excluded in determining segment profit (which we sometimes refer to as "operating profit") for the industrial segments.

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

With respect to the segment revenue and profit walks, the overall effect of foreign exchange is included within multiple captions.

	The translational foreign exchange impact is included within Foreign Exchange.

	The transactional impact of foreign exchange hedging is included in operating cost within Productivity and in other income within Other.

2016 2Q FORM 10-Q 15

2016 – 2015 COMMENTARY: THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30

Industrial segment revenues increased $1.8 billion (7%), driven by increases at Power, Renewable Energy and Energy Connections, mainly as a result of the effects of acquisitions (primarily Alstom). This increase was partially offset by lower revenues at Oil & Gas and Appliances & Lighting (due to the sale of the Appliances business in the second quarter of 2016), as well as an unfavorable impact of foreign exchange.

Industrial segment profit decreased $0.2 billion (5%), mainly driven by lower earnings at Oil & Gas, partially offset by higher earnings at Power, Aviation and Healthcare.

Industrial segment margin decreased 180 bps primarily driven by the effects of Alstom results. Excluding Alstom, industrial segment margin was 15.6%, compared with 16.2% in the same period of 2015.

2016 – 2015 COMMENTARY: SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30

Industrial segment revenues increased $3.3 billion (6%), driven by increases at Power, Renewable Energy and Energy Connections, mainly as a result of the effects of acquisitions (primarily Alstom). This increase was partially offset by lower revenues at Oil & Gas, as well as an unfavorable impact of foreign exchange.

Industrial segment profit decreased $0.5 billion (6%), mainly driven by lower earnings at Oil & Gas, Energy Connections and Transportation, partially offset by higher earnings at Aviation and Healthcare.

Industrial segment margin decreased 190 bps primarily driven by the effects of Alstom results. Excluding Alstom, industrial segment margin was 15.1%, compared with 15.5% in the same period of 2015.

SIGNIFICANT SEGMENT DEVELOPMENTS

ALSTOM ACQUISITION

On November 2, 2015, we completed the acquisition of Alstom's Thermal, Renewables and Grid businesses. The completion of the transaction followed the regulatory approval of the deal in over 20 countries and regions including the EU, U.S., China, India, Japan and Brazil. The cash purchase price was €9.2 billion (approximately $10.1 billion), net of cash acquired. The acquisition and alliances with Alstom affected our Power, Energy Connections and Renewable Energy segments, and to a lesser extent our Oil & Gas segment.

At year-end 2015, our preliminary allocation of purchase price resulted in recognition of approximately $13.5 billion of goodwill, $5.2 billion of intangible assets, and $1.1 billion of unfavorable customer contract liabilities. The preliminary fair value of the associated noncontrolling interest was approximately $3.6 billion. As of the end of the second quarter of 2016, the preliminary amount of goodwill, intangible assets and unfavorable customer contract liabilities recognized was adjusted to approximately $14.8 billion, $4.5 billion, and $1.2 billion, respectively. The adjustments reflected revisions in estimates primarily related to updated revenue and cost assumptions for customer contracts, and other fair value adjustments related to acquired assets and liabilities. Although we believe we have recorded a substantial majority of the purchase accounting adjustments, further adjustments are expected in the third quarter. We will complete our post-closing procedures and purchase price allocation no later than the fourth quarter of 2016. See Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements for further information.

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, Alstom contributed revenues of $6.0 billion and an operating loss of $0.4 billion, which included the effects of purchase accounting and acquisition related charges at Corporate of $0.5 billion. Including the effects of tax benefits of $0.4 billion, net earnings was an insignificant amount for the six months ended June 30, 2016. In addition, Alstom used cash flow from operating activities of $0.9 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Alstom related revenues and operating profit are presented separately in the segment revenues and profit walks that follow.

SALE OF APPLIANCES

On January 15, 2016, we announced the signing of an agreement to sell our Appliances business to Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd. (Haier). On June 6, 2016, we completed the sale for proceeds of $5.6 billion and recognized an after-tax gain of $1.8 billion in the second quarter. Beginning in the third quarter, the Lighting business and Energy Connections will be presented as one reporting segment.



The GE Capital Exit Plan - On April 10, 2015, the Company announced its plan to reduce the size of the financial services businesses through the sale of most of its assets over the following 24 months. Further information on the GE Capital Exit Plan is provided in the Consolidated Results section of the MD&A.

As the GE Capital Exit Plan progresses, we will continue to incur interest on non-Verticals borrowings, restructuring costs and GE and GE Capital headquarters costs that are in excess of those allocated to the Verticals. These costs are recorded within other continuing operations within Capital.

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

	Dividends – GE Capital paid common dividends of $3.5 billion and $11.0 billion to GE in the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. In July 2016, GE Capital paid an additional $4.0 billion of common dividends to GE bringing the year-to-date total to $15.0 billion.

COMMENTARY: 2016 - 2015

THREE MONTHS

Capital revenues increased $0.1 billion as a result of lower impairments, partially offset by lower gains.

	Within Capital, Verticals revenues decreased by $0.2 billion as a result of organic revenue declines ($0.1 billion), lower gains ($0.1 billion) and higher impairments.

	Other Capital revenues increased $0.3 billion as a result of lower impairments ($0.2 billion) and organic revenue growth ($0.1 billion).

Capital net loss increased by $0.1 billion primarily due to core decreases, reflecting excess interest expense and higher insurance reserve provisions, partially offset by tax adjustments in the three months ended June 30, 2016, to bring Capital's six-month tax rate in line with the projected full-year tax rate.

	Within Capital, Verticals net earnings decreased by $0.1 billion due to higher insurance reserve provisions ($0.1 billion) and lower gains, partially offset by core increases.

	Other Capital net loss decreased by less than $0.1 billion primarily as a result of:



Higher treasury operation expenses of $0.4 billion reflecting excess interest expense, costs associated with the May 2016 debt tender and derivative activities that reduce or eliminate interest rate, currency or market risk between financial assets and liabilities. We expect to continue to have excess interest costs in 2016 as asset sales outpace our debt maturities. We may engage in liability management actions, such as buying back debt, based on market and economic conditions.

	Higher restructuring expenses of $0.1 billion.

	Tax adjustments of $0.3 billion in the three months ended June 30, 2016, to bring Capital's six-month tax rate in line with the projected full year tax rate.

	Lower tax expenses of $0.1 billion primarily related to the absence of the second quarter 2015 expected repatriation of foreign earnings related to the GE Capital Exit Plan.

2016 2Q FORM 10-Q 34

SIX MONTHS

Capital revenues increased $0.1 billion primarily due to lower impairments, organic revenue growth and the effects of acquisitions, partially offset by lower gains and the effects of currency exchange.

	Within Capital, Verticals revenues decreased by $0.1 billion as a result of organic revenue declines ($0.3 billion) and higher impairments ($0.1 billion), partially offset by higher gains ($0.2 billion) and the effects of acquisitions.

	Other Capital revenues increased $0.2 billion as a result of organic revenue growth ($0.3 billion) and lower impairments ($0.2 billion), partially offset by lower gains ($0.3 billion).

Capital net loss decreased by $4.7 billion primarily due to the absence of the 2015 charges associated with the GE Capital Exit Plan.

	Within Capital, Verticals net earnings increased by $0.1 billion as a result of higher gains ($0.2 billion), partially offset by higher impairments ($0.1 billion).

	Other Capital net loss decreased by $4.7 billion primarily as a result of:

	Lower tax expenses of $6.1 billion primarily related to the absence of the 2015 expected repatriation of foreign earnings and write-off of deferred tax assets related to the GE Capital Exit Plan.

	Tax adjustments of $0.4 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2016, to bring Capital's six-month tax rate in line with the projected full year tax rate.



Higher treasury operation expenses of $1.2 billion reflecting excess interest expense, costs associated with the February and May 2016 debt tenders and derivative activities that reduce or eliminate interest rate, currency or market risk between financial assets and liabilities. We expect to continue to have excess interest costs in 2016 as asset sales outpace our debt maturities. We may engage in liability management actions, such as buying back debt, based on market and economic conditions.

	Charges of $0.3 billion associated with the preferred equity exchange that was completed in January 2016. Higher restructuring expenses of $0.2 billion.

2016 – 2015 COMMENTARY: THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30

Revenues and other income increased $2.4 billion, primarily as a result of:

	$3.1 billion of higher gains from the sale of our Appliances business to Haier.

This increase to revenues and other income was partially offset by the following:

	$0.5 billion lower other income from a settlement related to the NBCU transaction in the second quarter of 2015, and

	$0.2 billion of higher inter-segment eliminations.

Operating costs decreased $2.2 billion, primarily as a result of:

	$3.1 billion of higher gains from the sale of our Appliances business to Haier,

	$0.2 billion of lower costs associated with our principal retirement plans including the effects of higher discount rates, and

	$0.1 billion of lower costs under our long-term incentive plan.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

We have entered into Transitional Service Agreements (TSA) with and provided certain indemnifications to buyers of GE Capital's assets. Under the TSAs, GE Capital provides various services for terms generally between 12 and 24 months and receives a level of cost reimbursement from the buyers.

At June 30, 2016, indemnifications amounted to $1.5 billion, for which we have recognized related liabilities of $0.2 billion. In addition, we provided $0.1 billion of credit support, the vast majority on behalf of certain commercial customers aligned with signed disposal transactions scheduled to close in 2016, and recognized an insignificant liability at June 30, 2016.

As part of the GE Capital Exit Plan, we entered into hedges (on an after-tax basis) of our net investment in businesses that we plan to dispose. These derivatives are treated as standalone hedges and the mark-to-market valuation changes on the derivatives are recorded in earnings of discontinued operations.

Results of operations, financial position and cash flows for these businesses are separately reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

OTHER CONSOLIDATED INFORMATION

INCOME TAXES

GE pays the income taxes it owes in every country it does business. While GE and GE Capital file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return, many factors impact our income tax expense and cash tax payments. The most significant factor is that we conduct business in approximately 180 countries and more than half of our revenue is earned outside the U.S., often in countries with lower tax rates than in the U.S. We reinvest most of our foreign earnings overseas to be able to fund our active non-U.S. business operations. Our tax liability is also affected by U.S. and foreign tax incentives designed to encourage certain investments, such as research and development, and is also affected by acquisitions, dispositions and tax law changes. Finally, our tax returns are routinely audited, and settlements of issues raised in these audits sometimes affect our tax rates.

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

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

2016 – 2015 COMMENTARY: THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30

	The consolidated income tax rate was 30.6% in the second quarter of 2015 compared to 12.5% in the second quarter of 2016.

	The consolidated income tax provision decreased due to a larger adjustment to reduce the tax rate to the projected full-year tax rate, partially offset by the impact of higher pre-tax income.

	The consolidated tax provision includes $0.6 billion for GE (excluding GE Capital) for the second quarters of both 2015 and 2016.

2016 – 2015 COMMENTARY: SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30



The consolidated income tax rate was 167.6% in the first six months of 2015 compared to 8.4% in the first six months of 2016. The tax rate for the first six months of 2015 was in excess of 100% due to tax expense of $6.2 billion in the first six months of 2015 for the expected repatriation of foreign earnings and write-off of deferred tax assets incurred in connection with the GE Capital Exit Plan.



The consolidated income tax provision decreased from the first six months of 2015 to the first six months of 2016 due to the non-repeat of the GE Capital Exit Plan charges and due to a larger adjustment to reduce the tax rate to the projected full-year tax rate, partially offset by lower benefit from lower taxed global operations.

	The consolidated tax provision includes $0.9 billion and $0.8 billion for GE (excluding GE Capital) for the first six months of 2015 and 2016, respectively.

2016 2Q FORM 10-Q 39

BENEFITS FROM GLOBAL OPERATIONS

Absent the effects of the GE Capital Exit Plan, our consolidated income tax provision is lower because of the benefits of lower-taxed global operations. 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. Most of these earnings have been reinvested in active non-U.S. business operations and we do not intend to repatriate these earnings to fund U.S. operations. The rate of tax on our indefinitely reinvested non-U.S. earnings is below the 35% U.S. statutory tax 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 non-U.S. operations through foreign companies that are subject to low foreign taxes.

A substantial portion of the 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, from our Power operations located in Switzerland and Hungary, and our Healthcare operations in Europe.

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 U.S. or foreign law. 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 GE Capital 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 GE Capital activities in order to permit meaningful analysis of each individual consolidating statement.

MAJOR CHANGES IN OUR FINANCIAL POSITION FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED

JUNE 30, 2016



Cash and equivalents decreased $18.4 billion. GE Cash and equivalents decreased $0.4 billion due to cash flows from operating activities of $10.7 billion (including common dividends from GE Capital of $11.0 billion), proceeds from the sale of our Appliances business of $4.8 billion and a short-term loan from GE Capital of $5.0 billion. This is more than offset by treasury stock purchases of $15.3 billion (cash basis), including $7.0 billion paid under ASR agreements, dividends of $4.3 billion and net PP&E additions of $1.4 billion. GE Capital Cash and equivalents decreased $17.9 billion primarily driven by $44.5 billion net repayments of debt, $11.2 billion in payments of dividends to shareowners and a short-term loan to GE of $5.0 billion, partially offset by $42.9 billion in proceeds from business dispositions and $0.8 billion in proceeds from the sale of receivables originated in our Appliances business and sold to Haier. See the Statement of Cash Flows section for additional information.

	Assets of discontinued operations decreased $71.1 billion, primarily due to the disposition of CLL businesses of $63.5 billion. See Note 2 for additional information.

	Borrowings decreased $41.2 billion, primarily due to a net decrease of GE Capital borrowings of $41.9 billion, partially offset by a net increase in borrowings by GE of $0.9 billion (excluding GE Capital debt assumption and short-term loan from GE Capital to GE).

	Liabilities of discontinued operations decreased $32.1 billion, primarily driven by the disposition of CLL businesses of $27.1 billion. See Note 2 for additional information.



Common stock held in treasury increased $12.6 billion, primarily due to treasury stock purchases of $13.7 billion (book basis), including $6.3 billion repurchased under ASR agreements. This was partially offset by treasury stock issuances of $1.2 billion, primarily stock option exercises of $0.7 billion.

2016 2Q FORM 10-Q 40

FINANCIAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

LIQUIDITY AND BORROWINGS

We maintain a strong focus on liquidity. At both GE and GE Capital 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 GE Capital 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 GE Capital, and also have historically maintained a commercial paper program that we regularly use to fund operations in the U.S., principally within the quarters.

GE Capital has historically relied on 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. Subsequent to April 10, 2015 and with the execution of the GE Capital Exit Plan, we do not plan to issue any incremental GE Capital senior unsecured term debt for four years. Furthermore, we have reduced our commercial paper from $25 billion to $5 billion consistent with the Exit Plan. In addition, we have substantially reduced our reliance on deposits and securitization due to the Exit Plan. Today, we mainly rely on excess cash positions, cash generated through dispositions, and the cash flow from our Verticals to fund our debt maturities and our operating and interest costs. GE Capital's liquidity position is targeted to meet its obligations under both normal and stressed conditions. We expect to maintain an elevated liquidity position as we generate cash from asset sales, returning to more normalized levels in 2019. During this period we expect to have excess interest costs as asset sales outpace our debt maturities. While we maintain elevated liquidity levels, we may engage in liability management actions, such as buying back debt, based on market and economic conditions in order to reduce our excess interest costs. During the first half of 2016, we repurchased $6.0 billion of long-term unsecured debt and $4.2 billion of subordinated debentures, resulting in a pre-tax loss of $528 million.

Our 2016 GE Capital funding plan anticipates repayment of principal on outstanding short-term borrowings, including the current portion of long-term debt ($42.7 billion at December 31, 2015), principally through dispositions, asset sales and cash on hand. Long-term maturities and early redemptions were $28.9 billion in the second quarter of 2016.

We maintain a detailed liquidity policy for GE Capital that requires GE Capital to maintain a contingency funding plan. The liquidity policy defines GE Capital's liquidity risk tolerance under different stress scenarios based on its liquidity sources and also establishes procedures to escalate potential issues. We actively monitor GE Capital'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. GE Capital will continue to evaluate the need to modify the existing contingency funding plan due to the GE Capital Exit Plan.

On December 2, 2015, $87.7 billion of senior unsecured notes and $4.9 billion of commercial paper was assumed by GE upon its merger with GE Capital. The amount of the intercompany payable to GE was $65.2 billion as of June 30, 2016, which includes a reduction for a $5.0 billion short term loan in the second quarter of 2016 from GE Capital to GE, which bears the right of offset against amounts owed under the assumed debt agreement. See Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements.

On June 3, 2016, GE commenced an offering to exchange $19.6 billion of all the outstanding, unregistered senior notes that were issued by GE Capital International Funding Company Unlimited Company in a private offering on October 26, 2015, for identical, registered 2.342% Senior Notes due 2020, 3.373% Senior Notes due 2025 and 4.418% Senior Notes due 2035. The exchange offer was completed on July 8, 2016.

2016 2Q FORM 10-Q 41

LIQUIDITY SOURCES

In addition to GE cash of $9.9 billion at June 30, 2016, GE Capital maintained liquidity sources of $55.6 billion that consisted of cash and equivalents of $42.2 billion, high-quality investments of $9.2 billion and cash and equivalents of $4.2 billion classified as discontinued operations. Additionally, we have $20.0 billion of committed unused credit lines.

(a)

At June 30, 2016, $3.2 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 June 30, 2016, GE Capital cash and equivalents of about $0.9 billion were primarily in insurance entities and were subject to regulatory restrictions.

(c)

Of this amount at June 30, 2016, $3.7 billion is held outside of the U.S. and 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 this cash, we would be subject to additional U.S. income taxes and foreign withholding taxes.

As of June 30, 2016, GE Company had committed credit lines aggregating $20.0 billion extended by 36 banks in a syndicated credit facility agreement.

FUNDING PLAN

We reduced our Capital ENI, excluding liquidity*, to $79 billion at June 30, 2016.

During the first six months of 2016, there were no new senior unsecured debt issuances.

GE Capital 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.

We securitize financial assets as an alternative source of funding. During the first six months of 2016, we completed $0.4 billion of non-recourse issuances and $1.5 billion of non-recourse borrowings matured. At June 30, 2016, consolidated non-recourse securitization borrowings were $2.0 billion.

We have six deposit-taking banks outside of the U.S., which are classified as discontinued operations. On April 18, 2016, we completed the sale of the deposit-taking bank in the U.S., GE Capital Bank, an industrial bank.

GE GUARANTEE OF CERTAIN GE CAPITAL DEBT

GE provides implicit and explicit support to GE Capital through commitments, capital contributions and operating support. As part of the GE Capital Exit Plan, on April 10, 2015, GE and GE Capital 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 GE Capital identified in the Amendment. The Guarantee replaced the requirement that the Company make certain income maintenance payments to GE Capital in certain circumstances. GE Capital's U.S. public indentures were concurrently amended to provide the full and unconditional guarantee by the Company set forth in the Guarantee. At June 30, 2016, the balance of this debt that GE assumed was $70.2 billion, and the Guarantee applied to approximately $54.5 billion of GE Capital debt.

ACCELERATED SHARE REPURCHASE AGREEMENT

During the first six months of 2016, we repurchased $13.7 billion of our common stock, including $6.3 billion repurchased under accelerated share repurchase (ASR) agreements.

In June 2016, we entered into an ASR agreement with a financial institution which allowed us to repurchase GE common stock at a price below its volume weighted-average price during a given period. During the second quarter, we paid $5.0 billion and received and classified as treasury shares an initial delivery of 142,474,019 shares based on then-current market prices. The payment was recorded as a reduction to shareowners' equity, consisting of a $4.3 billion increase in treasury stock, which reflects the value of the shares received upon initial delivery, and a $0.8 billion decrease in other capital, which reflects the value of the stock held back pending final delivery in the third quarter of 2016.

In the second quarter of 2016, we received the remaining 10,222,022 shares related to the ASR agreement entered in March 2016 based on the final volume weighted-average price less the negotiated discount.

STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS - SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2016 VERSUS 2015

CONSOLIDATED CASH FLOWS

We evaluate our cash flow performance by reviewing our industrial (non-GE Capital) businesses and GE Capital 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.

(Dollars in billions)

OPERATING CASH FLOWS		INVESTING CASH FLOWS		FINANCING CASH FLOWS

2015	2016	2015	2016	2015	2016

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. 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 GE Capital represent the distribution of a portion of GE Capital retained earnings, and are distinct from cash from continuing operations within the GE Capital businesses. See the Intercompany Transactions and Eliminations section for information related to transactions between GE and GE Capital.

2016 – 2015 COMMENTARY

GE cash from operating activities increased $6.7 billion primarily due to the following:

	GE Capital paid common dividends totaling $11.0 billion and $0.5 billion to GE in the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

	An increase of operating cash collections of $5.0 billion to $56.0 billion in 2016, primarily driven by progress collections of $1.6 billion and higher GE segment revenues from sales of goods and services.



These increases were partially offset by an increase in operating cash payments of $8.8 billion to $56.3 billion in 2016. This increase is primarily driven by increased spend on inventory, purchasing volume timing, payment of income taxes and incentive compensation payments in the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared with that of 2015.

GE cash from investing activities increased $4.3 billion primarily due to the following:

	The sale of our Appliances business to Haier for proceeds of $4.8 billion.

	This is partially offset by funding of a joint venture at our Aviation business in the six months ended June 30, 2016.

GE cash used for financing activities increased $13.0 billion primarily due to the following:

	An increase in net repurchases of GE treasury shares of $14.8 billion, including $7.0 billion paid under ASR agreements.



This increase was partially offset by a net change in borrowings of $1.8 billion. The change is driven by a short-term loan from GE Capital to GE of $5.0 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2016, partially offset by $3.4 billion of GE issued unsecured notes in the six months ended June 30, 2015.

2016 – 2015 COMMENTARY-CONTINUING OPERATIONS:

GE Capital cash from operating activities-continuing operations increased $2.6 billion primarily due to the following:

	An increase in net cash collateral activity with counterparties on derivative contracts of $3.8 billion in addition to an increase in cash generated from earnings and other activity.

	These increases were partially offset by higher tax payments.

GE Capital cash from investing activities-continuing operations increased $8.6 billion primarily due to the following:

	Higher proceeds from the sale of certain of our CLL, Consumer and Real Estate businesses of $25.3 billion.

	The 2015 acquisition of Milestone Aviation Group, resulting in net cash paid of $1.7 billion.

	The sale of receivables purchased from our Appliances business and sold to Haier for proceeds of $0.8 billion.



These increases were partially offset by a short-term loan from GE Capital to GE of $5.0 billion, derivative cash settlements of $4.1 billion and net settlement activity between our continuing operations (primarily our treasury operations) and our CLL, Consumer and Real Estate businesses in discontinued operations.

GE Capital cash used for financing activities-continuing operations increased $38.7 billion primarily due to the following:

	Higher net repayments of borrowings of $28.3 billion.

	In addition, GE Capital paid common dividends totaling $11.0 billion and $0.5 billion to GE in the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

2016 – 2015 COMMENTARY-DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS:

GE Capital cash used for operating activities-discontinued operations increased $14.3 billion primarily due to the following:

	Lower cash generated from earnings in connection with the GE Capital Exit Plan.

	This is further impacted by higher tax payments.

GE Capital cash used for investing activities-discontinued operations increased $2.4 billion primarily due to the following:

	The sale of bank deposits for $16.5 billion in net cash paid during the first six months of 2016.

	This decrease is partially offset by higher maturities in investment securities and net settlement activity between our continuing operations (primarily our treasury operations) and our CLL, Consumer and Real Estate businesses in discontinued operations.

GE Capital cash used for financing activities-discontinued operations decreased $1.5 billion primarily due to the following:

	Lower repayment of borrowings and lower net bank deposit activity.

INTERCOMPANY TRANSACTIONS AND ELIMINATIONS

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

GE Capital is a member of certain GE pension plans. As a result of the GE Capital Exit Plan, GE Capital will have additional funding obligations for these pension plans. These obligations do not relate to the Verticals and are recognized as expense in GE Capital's other continuing operations when they become probable and estimable. GE records a contra expense as GE Capital's additional funding obligations are recognized and GE's related pension obligations are paid by GE Capital. On a consolidated basis, the additional required funding obligations do not affect earnings but rather are reflected as a reduction of the pension liability when paid. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the additional funding obligations recognized by GE Capital were $0.1 billion and $0.2 billion, respectively. No such funding obligations were recognized in the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. As of June 30, 2016, the total outstanding funding obligation was $0.3 billion.

GE sells customer receivables to GE Capital in the ordinary course of business to fund the growth of our industrial businesses. During any given period, GE receives cash from the sale of receivables to GE Capital. It also foregoes the future collection of cash on receivables sold as GE Capital will collect the cash from the customer. 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 effect of cash generated in GE CFOA from selling these receivables to GE Capital decreased GE's CFOA by $1.0 billion and $1.8 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

EXPOSURES

FOREIGN CURRENCY

As a result of our global operations, we generate and incur a significant portion of our revenues and expenses in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The results of operating entities reported in currencies other than U.S. dollar are translated to the U.S. dollar at the applicable exchange rate for inclusion in the financial statements. The foreign currency effect arising from operating activities outside of the U.S., including the remeasurement of derivatives, can result in significant transactional foreign currency fluctuations at points in time, but will generally be offset as the underlying hedged item is recognized in earnings. The effects of foreign currency fluctuations decreased earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 by $0.1 billion and $0.3 billion, respectively.

On June 23, 2016, a referendum in the United Kingdom (U.K.) was approved to withdraw from the European Union. The referendum was advisory and the terms of any withdrawal is subject to a negotiation period that could last for two years after the U.K. government initiates the withdrawal process. The approval of the referendum had, and may continue to have, an impact on foreign currency exchange rates, among other things. We actively manage our exposure to the U.K. and do not anticipate a material economic impact from our currency exposure as a result of the recent decision by the U.K. to exit the European Union.

For further information about our risk exposures, our use of derivatives, and the effects of this activity on our financial statements see Notes 15 and 19 to the consolidated financial statements.

OIL & GAS INDUSTRY

The oil and gas market remains challenging. While oil prices increased in the second quarter of 2016, activity remained subdued with U.S. onshore rig and well counts continuing to decline from both year-end 2015 and 2014 peak levels, and capital expenditures and investment decisions continuing to be delayed. As a result, our Oil & Gas business has experienced declines in orders through the six months ended June 30, 2016 of approximately 39%.

In this difficult market our Oil & Gas business will continue to focus on the items within its control such as cost management and competitiveness. Our restructuring investment will likely increase from $350 million to approximately $500 million to achieve our $800 million cost reduction target, as lower volume will offset some of the realization.

Please refer to the Critical Accounting Estimates section within MD&A and Note 1, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements of our Form 8-K filed on June 3, 2016 related to the 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K 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.

2016 2Q FORM 10-Q 48

OTHER ITEMS

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016- 02, Leases. The new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition. Similarly, lessors will be required to classify leases as either sales-type, finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of income recognition. Classification for both lessees and lessors will be based on an assessment of whether risks and rewards as well as substantive control have been transferred through a lease contract. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. While we continue to evaluate the effect of the standard on our ongoing financial reporting, we anticipate that the adoption of ASU 2016-02 may materially affect our statement of financial position.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective. In July 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of this standard, with a revised effective date for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, although not prior to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or modified retrospective (cumulative effect) transition method. We have not yet selected a transition method or an adoption date. In addition, we are evaluating recently issued guidance on practical expedients as part of our transition decision. Given the complexity of our commercial arrangements, we are continuing to assess the potential effect that the standard is expected to have on our consolidated financial statements. We believe the more significant effects on our existing accounting policies will be associated with our long-term product service agreements and commercial aircraft engine contracts as further discussed below.

For our long-term product service agreements, we expect to continue to recognize revenue over time by applying contract-specific estimated margin rates to incurred costs. The standard provides new guidance in assessing what comprises the distinct service being provided to a customer that may have implications to our existing unit of account and the recognition of contract modifications.

In addition, the revenue for our commercial aircraft engines will be recognized on a point-in-time basis, which is a change from our current long-term contract accounting process of applying contract-specific estimated margin rates to incurred costs.

GE DIGITAL

In late 2015, we created GE Digital, whose activities are focused on assisting in the market development of our digital product offerings through software design, fulfillment and product management, while also interfacing with our customers. Digital revenues include software-enabled product upgrades, internally developed software (including Predix^TM) and associated hardware, and software-enabled productivity solutions. These revenues are reported in the financial results of our operating segments.

Digital revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 were $1.3 billion and $2.4 billion, respectively, compared with $1.2 billion and $2.2 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, and were principally reported in our Power and Healthcare segments.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

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:

	Industrial segment organic revenues

	Operating and non-operating pension costs

	Adjusted Corporate costs (operating)

	Industrial operating and GE Capital earnings (loss) from continuing operations and EPS

	Industrial operating + Verticals earnings and EPS

	Industrial operating profit and operating profit margin (excluding certain items)

	Industrial segment operating profit and operating profit margin (excluding Alstom)

	Industrial cash flows from operating activities (Industrial CFOA) and Industrial CFOA excluding taxes related to the Appliances business sale

	Capital ending net investment (ENI), excluding liquidity

The reasons we use these non-GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures follow.

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.

We have provided the operating and non-operating components of cost for our principal pension plans. Operating pension cost comprise the service cost of benefits earned, prior service cost amortization and curtailment loss (gain) for our principal pension plans. Non-operating pension cost 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 cost better reflects the ongoing service-related cost 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 cost and operating results with the pension plan cost and operating results of other companies.

Adjusted total corporate costs (operating) (Non-GAAP)	$	(456)	$	(596)	$	(887)	$	(1,170)

Operating corporate costs exclude non-service-related pension costs of our principal pension plans, which comprise interest costs, expected return on plan assets and amortization of actuarial gains/losses. Service cost, prior service cost and curtailment loss components of our principal pension plans are included in operating corporate costs. We believe that these components of pension cost better reflect the ongoing service-related costs of providing pension benefits to our employees. Accordingly, we believe that our measure of operating corporate costs provides management and investors with a useful measure of the operational costs incurred outside of our businesses. We believe that this measure, considered along with the corresponding GAAP measure, provides management and investors with additional information for comparison of our operating corporate costs to the operating corporate costs of other companies.

We also believe that adjusting operating corporate costs to exclude the effects of items that are not closely associated with ongoing corporate operations, such as earnings of previously divested businesses, gains and losses on disposed and held for sale businesses, and restructuring and other charges, provides management and investors with a meaningful measure that increases the period-to-period comparability of our ongoing corporate costs.

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. Non-operating pension costs are not 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 have presented our Industrial operating profit and operating profit margin excluding gains, non-operating pension costs (pre-tax), restructuring and other, noncontrolling interests, GE Capital preferred stock dividends, as well as the results of Alstom. We believe that Industrial operating profit and operating profit margin adjusted for these items are meaningful measures because they increase the comparability of period-to-period results.

INDUSTRIAL CASH FLOWS FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES (INDUSTRIAL CFOA)
AND INDUSTRIAL CFOA EXCLUDING TAXES RELATED TO THE APPLIANCES BUSINESS SALE

	Six months ended June 30
(Dollars in millions)		2016		2015	V%

Cash from GE's operating activities (continuing operations), as reported (GAAP)	$	10,689	$	3,950	F
Adjustments: dividends from GE Capital		11,000		450
Industrial CFOA (Non-GAAP)	$	(311)	$	3,500	U
Adjustment: taxes related to the Appliances business sale		700		-
Industrial CFOA excluding taxes related to the Appliances business sale (Non-GAAP)	$	389	$	3,500	U

We define "Industrial CFOA" as GE's cash from operating activities (continuing operations) less the amount of dividends received by GE from GE Capital. This includes the effects of intercompany transactions, including GE customer receivables sold to GE Capital; GE Capital services for trade receivables management and material procurement; buildings and equipment leased by GE from GE Capital; information technology (IT) and other services sold to GE Capital by GE; aircraft engines manufactured by GE that are installed on aircraft purchased by GE Capital 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 GE Capital 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. We also believe that investors may find it useful to compare Industrial CFOA excluding the effects of taxes paid related to the Appliances business sale. Management recognizes that these measures 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 GE Capital cash flows. We believe that our measure of Industrial CFOA and Industrial CFOA excluding Appliances sale-related taxes provides management and investors with useful measures 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 useful measures to supplement the reported GAAP CFOA measure.

CAPITAL ENDING NET INVESTMENT (ENI), EXCLUDING LIQUIDITY

Discontinued operations, excluding liquidity		36.9		129.7
Total ENI (excluding liquidity) including discontinued operations (Non-GAAP)	$	116.2	$	309.0

(a)	Liquidity includes cash and equivalents and $9.2 billion of high quality investments at June 30, 2016

(b)	As originally reported

We use ENI to measure the size of our 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 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 high quality investments. 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.

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 June 30, 2016.

On November 2, 2015, we closed the acquisition of Alstom's Thermal, Renewable, and Grid businesses.

REGULATIONS AND SUPERVISION

As previously discussed, on April 10, 2015, the company announced the GE Capital Exit Plan to reduce the size of its financial services businesses. On March 31, 2016 GE filed its request to the FSOC for rescission of GE Capital's designation as a nonbank SIFI. On June 28, 2016 we received approval of our request to the FSOC for rescission of GE Capital's designation as a nonbank SIFI.

With the rescission of its designation as a nonbank SIFI, GE Capital's activities are no longer subject to the consolidated supervision of the Federal Reserve or subject to the enhanced prudential standards set forth in the Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and its implementing regulations, including minimum regulatory capital and liquidity requirements, submission of annual resolution plans, the Volcker Rule and regulatory reporting requirements.

GE Capital's international operations are consolidated under GE Capital International Holdings Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of GE Capital. GE Capital International Holdings Limited continues to maintain its own capital structure and is supervised by the U.K. Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA). The PRA's supervision includes capital and liquidity standards that could impact the payment of dividends to GE Capital.

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, 2015 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2016.

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

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

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. On September 8, 2014, US Bank filed a petition for instructions in the administration of trusts in Minnesota state court seeking authorization and instruction for US Bank to implement the terms of a settlement agreement reached with WMC to compromise, settle, and release all claims arising out of the securitizations at issue in these four lawsuits. In February 2015, two bondholders filed objections to the proposed settlement, and in response the court held an evidentiary hearing on February 1, 2016. On July 11, 2016, the court issued an order approving the settlement, and the deadline for the bondholders to file notice of appeal is September 12, 2016. In light of the state court action, the District Court has stayed further proceedings in the four cases.

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

One case is pending against WMC in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The case was initiated by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) in the fourth quarter 2012. In the second quarter 2013, Deutsche Bank, in its role as securitization trustee, 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 but, on its own motion, ordered re-briefing on several issues raised by WMC's motion to dismiss in February 2015. On July 10, 2015, the District Court entered an order dismissing the lawsuit as time-barred under the applicable statute of limitations. Deutsche Bank filed a notice of appeal from this order of dismissal on August 13, 2015, and the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit heard oral argument on June 10, 2016.

2016 2Q FORM 10-Q 58

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 June 30, 2016. See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.

In December 2015, we learned that, as part of continuing industry-wide investigation of subprime mortgages, the Civil Division of the U.S. Department of Justice is investigating potential violations of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA) by WMC and its affiliates arising out of the origination, purchase or sale of residential mortgage loans between January 1, 2005 and December 31, 2007. The Justice Department subsequently issued subpoenas for documents to WMC and GE Capital in January 2016. We are cooperating with the Justice Department's investigation, which is at an early stage.

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 Form 8-K filed on June 3, 2016 related to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 that 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 other than GE Capital (GE Capital or Financial Services), whose continuing operations are presented on a one-line basis; GE Capital consists of General Capital Global Holdings, LLC (GECGH) and all of its affiliates; and "Consolidated" represents the adding together of GE and GE Capital 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. Certain columns and rows may not add due to the use of rounded numbers. Percentages presented are calculated from the underlying numbers in millions. Unless otherwise indicated, information in these notes to the consolidated financial statements relates to continuing operations.

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 2015 consolidated financial statements of our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Please refer to Note 1, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements of our 2015 Form 10-K Report for the discussion of our significant accounting policies.

ACCOUNTING CHANGES

On January 1, 2016, we adopted ASU 2015-16, Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments, which eliminated the requirement for an acquirer in a business combination to account for measurement-period adjustments retrospectively. See Note 7 for further discussion of the purchase accounting effects of recent acquisitions.

On January 1, 2016, we adopted ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the debt liability, similar to the presentation of debt premiums and discounts. ASU 2015-03 applies retrospectively and does not change the recognition and measurement requirements for debt issuance costs. The adoption of ASU 2015-03 resulted in the reclassification of $674 million of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the Company's borrowings from all other assets to short-term and long-term borrowings within our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015.

On January 1, 2016, we adopted ASU 2015-02, Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. The ASU amended the consolidation guidance for VIEs and general partners' investment in limited partnerships and modified the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are VIEs or voting interest entities.

2016 2Q FORM 10-Q 72

Upon adoption, we deconsolidated three investment funds managed by GE Asset Management (GEAM) that had been accounted for under the guidance prior to the issuance of ASU 2009-17, Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities, by virtue of the deferral provided by ASU 2010-10, Amendments for Certain Investment Funds. We concluded that GEAM's management contracts were no longer variable interests in the three investment funds and therefore continued consolidation was not appropriate. We deconsolidated net assets and noncontrolling interests of $123 million, respectively.

In addition, many of the limited partnerships in which EFS invests became VIEs because the limited partners have no participating rights or substantive removal rights over the general partners. The general partners continue to control these limited partnerships, however, our disclosed exposure to unconsolidated VIEs in Note 16 increased by $6,110 million as a result.

ACCELERATED SHARE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

During 2016, we entered into accelerated share repurchase (ASR) agreements to repurchase shares of GE common stock. Under an ASR agreement, the Company pays a specified amount to a financial institution and receives an initial delivery of shares based on the terms of the agreement. Upon settlement of the agreement, the financial institution delivers additional shares, or the Company returns shares, with the final net number of shares calculated based on the volume-weighted average price of GE common stock over the term of the agreement, less an agreed upon discount. When certain conditions are met, the transaction is accounted for as an equity transaction and the shares are included in treasury stock when received, at which time there is an immediate reduction in the weighted- average number of common shares used in calculating earnings per share. See Note 12 for additional information.

NOTE 2. BUSINESSES HELD FOR SALE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

ASSETS AND LIABILITIES OF BUSINESSES HELD FOR SALE

On January 15, 2016, we announced the signing of an agreement to sell our Appliances business to Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd. (Haier). On June 6, 2016, we completed the sale for proceeds of $5,568 million and recognized an after-tax gain of $1,834 million in the second quarter.

On March 30, 2016, we announced an agreement to sell GE Asset Management (GEAM), GE's asset management arm with assets under management of approximately $100 billion, to State Street Corporation. On July 1, 2016, we completed the sale for proceeds of $436 million. Net sale proceeds associated with U.S. pension plans will be deposited into the GE Pension Trust, increasing trust assets used to pay GE pension plan benefits. There is a potential to realize up to $48 million in additional proceeds if the management of assets for more pension plans transfers to the buyer.

2016 2Q FORM 10-Q 73

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Discontinued operations primarily relate to our financial services businesses as a result of the GE Capital Exit Plan and include our Consumer business, most of our CLL business, our Real Estate business and our U.S. mortgage business (WMC). All of these operations were previously reported in the Capital segment. Results of operations, financial position and cash flows for these businesses are separately reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

At June 30, 2016, indemnifications amounted to $1,492 million, for which we have recognized related liabilities of $163 million. In addition, we provided $111 million of credit support, the vast majority on behalf of certain commercial customers aligned with signed disposal transactions scheduled to close in 2016, and recognized an insignificant liability at June 30, 2016.

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 June 30, 2016, such claims consisted of $2,688 million of individual claims generally submitted before the filing of a lawsuit (compared to $2,887 million at December 31, 2015) and $7,266 million of additional claims asserted against WMC in litigation without making a prior claim (Litigation Claims) (compared to $8,047 million at December 31, 2015). The total amount of these claims, $9,954 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 June 30, 2016, these amounts do not include approximately $110 million of repurchase claims relating to alleged breaches of representations that are not in litigation and that are beyond the applicable statute of limitations. WMC believes that repurchase claims brought based upon representations and warranties made more than six years before WMC was notified of the claim would be disallowed in legal proceedings under applicable law and the June 11, 2015 decision of the New York Court of Appeals in ACE Securities Corp. v. DB Structured Products, Inc., on the statute of limitations period governing such claims.

2016 2Q FORM 10-Q 76

Reserves related to repurchase claims made against WMC were $860 million at June 30, 2016, reflecting a net increase to reserves in the three months ended June 30, 2016 of $27 million due to incremental provisions. The reserve estimate takes into account recent settlement activity and is based upon WMC's evaluation of the remaining exposures as a percentage of estimated lifetime mortgage loan losses within the pool of loans supporting each securitization for which timely claims have been asserted in litigation against WMC. Settlements in prior periods reduced WMC's exposure on claims asserted in certain securitizations and the claim amounts reported above give effect to these settlements.

Given the significant litigation activity and WMC's continuing efforts to resolve the lawsuits involving claims made against WMC, it is difficult to assess whether future losses will be consistent with WMC's past experience. Adverse changes to WMC's assumptions supporting the reserve may result in an increase to these reserves. WMC estimates a range of reasonably possible loss from $0 to approximately $500 million over its recorded reserve at June 30, 2016. This estimate involves significant judgment and may not reflect the range of uncertainties and unpredictable outcomes inherent in litigation, including the matters discussed in Legal Proceedings and potential changes in WMC's legal strategy. This estimate excludes any possible loss associated with an adverse court decision on the applicable statute of limitations or an adverse outcome in the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA) investigation discussed in Legal Proceedings, as WMC is unable at this time to develop such a meaningful estimate.

At June 30, 2016, there were 14 lawsuits involving claims made against WMC arising from alleged breaches of representations and warranties on mortgage loans included in 13 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, 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.

(a)

Included residential mortgage-backed securities substantially collateralized by U.S. mortgages. At June 30, 2016, $535 million related to securities issued by government-sponsored entities and $19 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 increased to $39,720 million at June 30, 2016, from $31,973 million at December 31, 2015, primarily due to additional purchases of Corporate – non-U.S. debt securities and an increase in unrealized gains resulting from lower interest rates.

(a)

Includes the estimated fair value of and gross unrealized losses on equity securities held by GE. At June 30, 2016, the estimated fair value of and gross unrealized losses on equity securities were $18 million and $(4) million, respectively. At December 31, 2015, the estimated fair value of and gross unrealized losses on equity securities were $6 million and $(2) million, respectively.

(b)	Included gross unrealized losses of $1 million related to securities that had other-than-temporary impairments previously recognized at June 30, 2016.

(c)	Includes debt securities held to support obligations to holders of Guaranteed Investment Contracts (GICs) of which the majority are considered to be investment-grade by the major rating agencies at June 30, 2016.

Unrealized losses are not indicative of the amount of credit loss that would be recognized and at June 30, 2016 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 2016 have not changed.

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.

Mortgage and asset-backed securities substantially comprise of commercial and residential mortgage-backed securities.

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), less than half of which were originated in 2008 and prior. The vast majority of the securities in our CMBS portfolio have investment-grade credit ratings.

Our residential mortgage-backed securities (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 June 30, 2016, $535 million and $19 million related to agency and non-agency securities, respectively. Additionally, $53 million was related to residential subprime credit securities, primarily supporting obligations to annuitants and policyholders in our run-off insurance operations. All of the subprime exposure is related to securities backed by mortgage loans originated in 2005 and prior and are investment grade.

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.

Proceeds from investment securities sales and early redemptions by issuers totaled $624 million and $540 million in the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, principally from sales of U.S. corporate and Mortgage and asset-backed securities by our run-off insurance operations.

Proceeds from investment securities sales and early redemptions by issuers totaled $868 million and $2,597 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, principally from sales of Mortgage and asset-backed and U.S. corporate securities by our run-off insurance operations and Trinity.

Net write-offs (gross write-offs less recoveries) in certain portfolios may exceed the beginning allowance for losses as a result of losses that are incurred subsequent to the beginning of the fiscal year due to information becoming available during the current year, which may identify further deterioration on existing financing receivables.

(b)	Other primarily includes the effects of currency exchange.

We manage our financing receivable portfolio using delinquency and nonaccrual data as key performance indicators. At June 30, 2016, $1,036 million (4.3%), $483 million (2.0%) and $354 million (1.5%) of financing receivables were over 30 days past due, over 90 days past due and on nonaccrual, respectively. Of the $354 million of nonaccrual financing receivables at June 30, 2016, primarily related to aviation financing, $102 million are currently paying in accordance with the contractual terms. At December 31, 2015, $622 million (2.5%), $201 million (0.8%) and $256 million (1.0%) of financing receivables were over 30 days past due, over 90 days past due and on nonaccrual, respectively.

The recorded investment in impaired loans at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was $263 million and $175 million, respectively, and was primarily related to aviation financing. The method used to measure impairment for these loans is primarily based on collateral value. At June 30, 2016, troubled debt restructurings included in impaired loans were $99 million, the vast majority related to aviation financing.

NOTE 7. ACQUISITIONS, GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

ACQUISITIONS

On November 2, 2015, we acquired the Thermal, Renewables and Grid businesses from Alstom. The purchase price was €9,200 million ($10,124 million), net of cash acquired of approximately €1,600 million ($1,765 million). In order to obtain approval by the European Commission and the Department of Justice, GE pledged to sell certain of Alstom's gas-turbine assets and its Power Systems Manufacturing subsidiary to Ansaldo Energia SpA (Ansaldo) after the close of the transaction for approximately €120 million. The purchase price will be paid by Ansaldo over a period of five years. The transaction closed on February 25, 2016.

We formed three consolidated joint ventures with Alstom in grid technology, renewable energy, and global nuclear and French steam power. In addition, GE contributed its Digital Energy business to the grid technology joint venture.

Alstom holds redemption rights with respect to its interest in the grid technology and renewable energy joint ventures, which, if exercised, would require us to purchase all of their interest during September 2018 or September 2019. Alstom also holds similar redemption rights for the global nuclear and French steam power joint venture that are exercisable during the first full calendar quarter immediately following the fifth or sixth anniversary of the acquisition date. The redemption price would generally be equal to Alstom's initial investment plus annual accretion of 3% for the grid technology and renewable energy joint ventures and plus annual accretion of 2% for the nuclear and French steam power joint venture, with potential upside sharing based on an EBITDA multiple. Alstom also holds additional redemption rights in other limited circumstances as well as a call option to require GE to sell all of its interests in the renewable energy joint venture at the higher of fair value or Alstom's initial investment plus annual accretion of 3% during the month of May in the years 2016 through 2019 and also upon a decision to IPO the joint venture.

GE holds a call option on Alstom's interest in the global nuclear and French steam power joint venture at the same amount as Alstom's redemption price in the event that Alstom exercises its put option in the grid technology or renewable energy joint ventures. GE also has call options on Alstom's interest in the three joint ventures in other limited circumstances. In addition, the French Government holds a preferred interest in the global nuclear and French steam power joint venture, giving it certain protective rights.

The acquisition and alliances with Alstom will have a significant effect on our Power, Energy Connections and Renewable Energy segments, and to a lesser extent our Oil & Gas segment. The financial impact of acquired businesses on individual segments will be affected by a number of variables, including operating performance, purchase accounting effects and realized synergies. In addition, due to the amount of time that elapsed between signing and closing, the commercial operations of the businesses were negatively affected primarily as a result of uncertainty among Alstom customers regarding the execution of the transaction. This affected the overall valuation of the acquired businesses at the time of close and, accordingly, is reflected in the initial and adjusted amounts assigned to the assets and liabilities recorded in purchase accounting. In addition, the amount of goodwill recognized compared with identifiable intangible assets is affected by estimated GE-specific synergies, which are not permitted to be included in the measurement of identifiable intangibles. Such synergies include additional revenue from cross-selling complementary product lines.

2016 2Q FORM 10-Q 82

ALSTOM ACQUISITION ACCOUNTING UPDATE

The total consideration for the acquired businesses, at the time of close included our purchase price of $10,124 million (net of cash acquired) and a preliminary valuation of noncontrolling interests, of approximately $3,600 million for a total of approximately $13,700 million. In the fourth quarter of 2015, the preliminary allocation of purchase price resulted in goodwill, intangible assets and unfavorable customer contract liabilities of approximately $13,500 million, $5,200 million, and $1,100 million respectively. The preliminary fair value of the associated noncontrolling interests consisted of approximately $2,900 million for Alstom's redeemable noncontrolling interests in the three joint ventures (presented separately from total equity in the consolidated balance sheet) and $700 million for all other noncontrolling interests.

Through the second quarter of 2016, we adjusted the preliminary allocation of purchase price which resulted in goodwill, intangible assets, and unfavorable customer contract liabilities, of approximately $14,750 million, $4,500 million, and $1,200 million respectively. These adjustments, which are necessary to reflect acquired assets and liabilities of the acquired businesses at fair value, reflected revisions in estimates in the first and second quarters of 2016, primarily related to updated revenue and cost assumptions for customer contracts, and other fair value adjustments related to acquired assets and liabilities. The approximate amounts of other significant purchase accounting adjustments recorded since the date of acquisition include a reduction in the book value of assets sold to Ansaldo of $400 million, adjustments to the fair value of derivative contracts of $350 million, decreases in inventory balances of $350 million, increase to legal reserves of $300 million, increases to property, plant and equipment of approximately $200 million and a reduction in the book value of aged accounts receivable of approximately $150 million. In addition, the preliminary fair value of Alstom's redeemable noncontrolling interests was increased by approximately $100 million to approximately $3,000 million and all other noncontrolling interests decreased by $100 million to approximately $600 million.

In addition to purchase price allocation based on the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities, other adjustments are necessary to reflect differences between IFRS and US GAAP, as applied to differences in facts and circumstances between those businesses as part of Alstom and as part of GE post acquisition. The table below presents approximate consideration paid, amounts of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date, inclusive of the purchase accounting adjustments and IFRS to US GAAP adjustments recorded as of June 30, 2016, and the fair value of the non-controlling interest.

Also includes approximately $150 million of indemnification receivables for liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits and other tax uncertainties.

(b)	Includes approximately $750 million of liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits and other uncertain taxes and approximately $750 million of pension and other employee related costs.

Given the timing and complexity of the acquisition, the presentation of these businesses in our financial statements including the allocation of the purchase price is not yet final. Although we believe we have recorded a substantial majority of the purchase accounting adjustments as of the end of the second quarter of 2016, our review is continuing on a number of customer contracts, valuation of acquired property, plant and equipment, and evaluation of litigation claims and legacy compliance actions related to Alstom, among other areas. We are seeking to ascertain and substantiate the nature of potential adjustments to the acquisition date balance sheet, which include, but are not limited to, the aforementioned differences between IFRS and US GAAP. We expect to record additional purchase accounting adjustments in the third quarter and will complete our post-closing procedures and purchase price allocation no later than the fourth quarter of 2016.

The amount of the intercompany payable to GE was $65,186 million as of June 30, 2016, which includes a reduction in the short-term intercompany payable to GE for a $5,002 million loan in the second quarter of 2016 from GE Capital to GE, which bears the right of offset against amounts owed under the assumed debt agreement.

(c)	Included $2,567 million and $2,679 million of funding secured by aircraft and other collateral at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, of which $1,475 million and $1,534 million is non-recourse to GE Capital at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

(d)	Included $2,347 million of subordinated debentures, which constitute the sole assets of trusts that have issued trust preferred securities and where GE owns 100% of the common securities of the trusts. Obligations associated with these trusts are unconditionally guaranteed by GE.

(e)	Included $1,193 million and $918 million of current portion of long-term borrowings at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. See Note 16.

2016 2Q FORM 10-Q 86

As discussed in Note 1, the adoption of ASU 2015-03 resulted in the reclassification of $674 million of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the Company's borrowings, of which $641 million was reclassified in long-term borrowings and $33 million was reclassified in short-term borrowings, within our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015.

On April 10, 2015, GE provided a full and unconditional guarantee on the payment of the principal and interest on all tradable senior and subordinated outstanding long-term debt securities and all commercial paper issued or guaranteed by GE Capital. $92.6 billion of such debt was assumed by GE on December 2, 2015 upon its merger with GE Capital resulting in an intercompany payable to GE. At June 30, 2016, the amount of the intercompany payable to GE was $65.2 billion, including $70.2 billion of borrowings assumed by GE and a reduction for a $5.0 billion short-term loan in the second quarter of 2016 from GE Capital to GE, which bears the right of offset against amounts owed under the assumed debt agreement. The Guarantee applies to approximately $54.5 billion of GE Capital debt. Prior to the merger $36 billion (representing $31 billion of outstanding principal and $5 billion of premium) of GE Capital debt was exchanged into a new GE Capital international entity, including $16.4 billion, which matured on April 15, 2016.

Additional information about borrowings and associated swaps can be found in Notes 15 and 19.

NOTE 10. 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.

(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 2012-2013. 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. In April 2016, we reached a preliminary settlement of the case with the U.S. Department of Justice that is subject to further review and approval within the government. Consequently, 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.

SHARES OF GE PREFERRED STOCK

At December 31, 2014 GECC had outstanding 50,000 shares of non-cumulative A, B and C Series perpetual preferred stock at an average dividend rate of 6.44% with a face value of $5,000 million. In connection with the GE Capital Exit Plan, on December 3, 2015, these shares were converted into a corresponding Series A, B, and C of fixed-to-floating rate non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock issued by GE with face value of $2,778 million, $2,073 million, $1,094 million, respectively, for a cumulative face value of $5,944 million and an initial average fixed dividend rate of 4.07%. The incremental shares were issued in order to compensate preferred holders for the lower dividend rate. Subsequent to the issuance of the preferred stock on December 3, 2015, in response to investor feedback, GE launched an exchange offer on December 18, 2015 that allowed GE preferred stock investors to exchange their existing Series A, B and C preferred stock into a Series D GE preferred stock. These Series D instruments bear an initial fixed interest rate of 5.00% through January 21, 2021, will bear a floating rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 3.33% thereafter and are callable on January 21, 2021. On January 20, 2016, $2,687 million of Series A, $2,008 million of Series B and $999 million of Series C were exchanged into $5,694 million Series D GE preferred stock. In addition to interim dividends and accretion of $89 million, a deemed dividend of $232 million was recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2016, $195 million for the amount by which the fair value of the Series D GE preferred stock exceeded the fair value of the original GECC Series A, B and C preferred stock, and a cash payment of $37 million paid to the GE Series A and B preferred stockholders who exchanged into the Series D GE preferred stock. Post exchange, $91 million of Series A, $64 million of Series B and $95 million of Series C GE preferred stock remain outstanding. The carrying value of the GE preferred stock at June 30, 2016 was $5,216 million and will increase to $5,944 million through periodic accretion to the respective call dates of each series. Principal and accretion for the preferred stock is recorded in other capital in the consolidated Statement of Financial Position and dividends and accretion are presented under the caption "Preferred stock dividends" in the Statement of Earnings (Loss). Dividends on GE preferred stock are payable semi-annually, in June and December and accretion is recorded on a quarterly basis.

In conjunction with the exchange of the GE Capital preferred stock into GE preferred stock and the exchange of Series A, B and C preferred stock into Series D preferred stock, GE Capital issued preferred stock to GE for which the amount and terms mirror the GE preferred stock held by external investors ($5,216 million carrying value at June 30, 2016).

In connection with the reorganization of the GE Capital businesses, original GECC preferred stock was converted to preferred stock issued by GE in the fourth quarter of 2015, and accordingly GE preferred stock is reflected in shareowners' equity in the consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The dividend on GECC preferred stock was $161 million in the three months ended and the six months ended June 30, 2015. In addition, the ending balance for the period ended June 30, 2015 also included $2,700 million related to Synchrony Financial, which was eliminated as part of the split-off of Synchrony Financial from GE in the fourth quarter of 2015.

REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTEREST

Redeemable noncontrolling interest presented in our statement of financial position includes common shares issued by our affiliates that are redeemable at the option of the holder of those interests.

As part of the Alstom acquisition, we formed three joint ventures in which the noncontrolling interests hold certain redemption rights. These joint ventures and the associated redemption rights are discussed in Note 7. Our retained earnings will be adjusted for subsequent changes in the redemption value of the noncontrolling interest in these entities to the extent that the redemption value exceeds the carrying amount of the noncontrolling interest.

During the first six months of 2016, we repurchased $13,728 million of our common stock, including $6,264 million repurchased under the accelerated share repurchase (ASR) agreements.

In June 2016, we entered into an ASR agreement with a financial institution which allowed us to repurchase GE common stock at a price below its volume weighted-average price during a given period. During the second quarter, we paid $5,000 million and received and classified as treasury shares an initial delivery of 142,474,019 shares based on then-current market prices. The payment was recorded as a reduction to shareowners' equity, consisting of a $4,250 million increase in treasury stock, which reflects the value of the shares received upon initial delivery, and a $750 million decrease in other capital, which reflects the value of the stock held back pending final delivery in the third quarter of 2016.

We accounted for the ASR as two separate transactions: (i) 142,474,019 shares of common stock initially delivered to GE and $4,250 million was accounted for as a treasury stock transaction and (ii) the unsettled contract of $750 million was determined to be a forward contract indexed to GE's own common stock. The initial delivery of 142,474,019 shares resulted in an immediate reduction of the outstanding shares used to calculate the weighted-average common shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share. GE has determined that the forward contract, indexed to its own common stock, met all the criteria for equity classification.

Common dividends from GE Capital totaled $3,500 million and $11,000 million to GE in the three months ended June 30, 2016 and the six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. GE Capital did not pay any common dividends to GE in the three months ended June 30, 2015 and paid common dividends $450 million to GE in the six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. Dividends on GE preferred stock totaled $152 million, including cash dividends of $120 million and $441 million, including cash dividends of $185 million to GE in the three months ended June 30, 2016 and the six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. There were no dividends on GE preferred stock in the three months ended and in the six months ended June 30, 2015.

(a)

Our unvested restricted stock unit awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are considered participating securities. For the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, 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. For the six month period ended June 30, 2016, pursuant to the two-class method, as a result of the excess of dividends in current period earnings, losses were not allocated to the participating securities. For the six month period ended June 30, 2015, pursuant to the two-class method, as a result of the net loss from continuing operations, losses were not allocated to the participating securities.

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

(c)	Included the dilutive adjustment for the change in income for forward purchase contracts that may be settled in stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016.

2016 2Q FORM 10-Q 94

For the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, approximately 25 million and 94 million, respectively, of outstanding stock awards were not included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share because their effect was antidilutive. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, approximately 28 million of outstanding stock awards were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect was antidilutive. As a result of the loss from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015, outstanding stock awards of approximately 364 million, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect was antidilutive.

In June 2016, we entered into an ASR agreement to repurchase shares of GE common stock. See Note 12 for additional information. The initial delivery of 142,474,019 shares resulted in an immediate reduction of the outstanding shares used to calculate the weighted-average common shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share. GE has determined that the forward contract, indexed to its own common stock, met all the criteria for equity classification. There was no dilutive impact on earnings per share related to the forward contract.

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

NOTE 15. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

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

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. Any such agreements are 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. At June 30, 2016, we were party to no repurchase agreements.

We also enter into reverse securities repurchase agreements, primarily for short-term investment with maturities of 90 days or less. At June 30, 2016, we were party to reverse repurchase agreements totaling $9.7 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

In this section, we explain how we use derivatives to manage our risks and how these financial instruments are reflected in our financial statements. Our use of derivatives relates solely to risk management; we do not use derivatives for speculation. As discussed elsewhere in this report, we are executing a plan to reduce the size and scope of our financial services business, with the intention of principally retaining those activities that support our industrial businesses. The affected businesses have either been sold or are held for sale and are presented as discontinued operations in our financial statements as of June 30, 2016. As a result of these actions, the significance of financial services hedging activity will diminish significantly in the future.

RISK MANAGEMENT STRATEGY

In our industrial businesses, we buy, manufacture and sell components and products across global markets. These activities expose us to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices, which can adversely affect revenues earned and costs of operating our industrial businesses. When the currency in which we sell equipment differs from the primary currency of one of our industrial businesses (known as its functional currency) and the exchange rate fluctuates, it will affect the revenue we earn on the sale. These sales and purchase transactions also create receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies, which expose us to foreign currency gains and losses based on changes in exchange rates. Changes in the price of a raw material that we use in manufacturing can affect the cost of manufacturing. We use derivatives to mitigate or eliminate these exposures.

With respect to our ongoing financial services activities, our key exposures relate to interest rate and currency risk. To the extent feasible, we seek to ensure that the characteristics of the debt we have issued align with the assets being funded. The form (fixed rate or floating rate) and currency denomination of the debt we issue depends on a number of considerations, the most important of which are market factors (demand, pricing, etc.) that affect the economics of the issuance. If the form and currency denomination of the debt does not match the assets being funded, we typically execute derivatives to meet this objective within defined limits.

2016 2Q FORM 10-Q 102

FORMS OF HEDGING

In this section we explain the hedging methods we use and their effects on our financial statements.

Cash flow hedges – We use cash flow hedging primarily to reduce or eliminate the effects of foreign exchange rate changes on purchase and sale contracts in our industrial businesses and to convert foreign currency debt that we have issued in our financial services business back to our functional currency. Accordingly, the vast majority of our derivative activity in this category consists of currency exchange contracts. As a result of acquisitions in our industrial businesses, we expect to significantly expand our foreign currency hedging activity related to long-term contracts. We also use commodity derivatives to reduce or eliminate price risk on raw materials purchased for use in manufacturing.

Under hedge accounting, the derivative carrying amount is measured at fair value each period and any resulting gain or loss is recorded in a separate component of shareowners' equity. Differences between the derivative and the hedged item may cause changes in their fair values to not offset completely, which is referred to as ineffectiveness. When the hedged transaction occurs, these amounts are released from shareowners' equity, in order that the transaction will be reflected in earnings at the rate locked in by the derivative. The effect of the hedge is reported in the same financial statement line item as the earnings effects of the hedged transaction. The table below summarizes how the derivative is reflected in the balance sheet and in earnings under hedge accounting. The effect of the hedged forecasted transaction is not presented in this table but offsets the earnings effect of the derivative.

As part of our ongoing effort to reduce borrowings, we may repurchase debt that was in a cash flow hedge accounting relationship. At the time of determining that the debt cash flows are probable of not occurring any related OCI will be released to earnings.

The following table explains the effect of changes in market rates on the fair value of derivatives we use most commonly in cash flow hedging arrangements.

Interest rate forwards/swaps	Interest rate increases	Interest rate decreases
Pay fixed rate/receive floating rate	Fair value increases	Fair value decreases

Currency forwards/swaps	U.S. dollar strengthens	U.S. dollar weakens

Commodity derivatives	Price increases	Price decreases
Receive commodity/ pay fixed price	Fair value increases	Fair value decreases

Fair value hedges – These derivatives are used to hedge the effects of interest rate and currency exchange rate changes on debt that we have issued. We have issued mostly fixed rate debt that is used to fund both fixed and floating rate assets. In instances where fixed rate debt is funding floating rate assets, we have an exposure to changes in interest rates. We enter into interest rate swaps that receive a fixed rate and pay a floating rate of interest to align with that portion of our debt which funds floating rate assets. These swaps typically match the maturity of the associated debt being hedged.

2016 2Q FORM 10-Q 103

Under hedge accounting, the derivative is measured at fair value and the carrying amount of the hedged debt is adjusted for the change in value related to the exposure being hedged, with both adjustments offset to earnings as interest expense. For example, the earnings effect of an increase in the fair value of the derivative will be largely offset by the earnings effect of an increase in the carrying amount of the hedged debt. Differences between the terms of the derivative and the hedged debt may cause changes in their fair values to not offset completely, which is referred to as ineffectiveness. The table below summarizes how the derivative and the hedged debt are reflected in the balance sheet and in earnings under hedge accounting. The effect on interest expense of changing from the fixed rate on the debt to the floating rate on the swap is not shown in this table.

Net investment hedges – We invest in foreign operations that conduct their financial services activities in currencies other than the US dollar. We hedge the currency risk associated with those investments primarily using short-term currency exchange contracts under which we receive US dollars and pay foreign currency and non-derivatives instruments such as debt denominated in a foreign currency.

Under hedge accounting, the portion of the fair value change of the derivative or debt instrument that relates to changes in spot currency exchange rates is offset in a separate component of shareowners' equity. For example, an increase in the fair value of the derivative related to changes in spot exchange rates will be offset by a corresponding increase in the currency translation component of shareowners' equity. The portion of the fair value change of the derivative related to differences between spot and forward rates, which primarily relates to the interest component, is recorded in earnings each period as interest expense. As a result of this hedging strategy, the investments in foreign operations of our financial services business are largely unaffected by changes in currency exchange rates. The amounts recorded in shareowners' equity only affect earnings if the hedged investment is sold, substantially liquidated, or control is lost.

Economic Hedges - These derivatives are not designated as hedges from an accounting standpoint (and therefore we do not apply hedge accounting to the relationship) but otherwise serve the same economic purpose as other hedging arrangements. Economic hedges are used when changes in the carrying amount of the hedged item are already recorded in earnings in the same period as the derivative, making hedge accounting unnecessary. For example, in our industrial businesses we record the effects of spot exchange rate changes on our foreign currency payables and receivables in earnings each period along with the fair value changes on the foreign currency forward contracts used as economic hedges. In these cases, the earnings effects of the derivative and hedged item largely offset. We also use economic hedges when we have exposures to currency exchange risk for which we are unable to meet the requirements for hedge accounting. For example, we use currency forwards as an economic hedge of forecasted foreign currency cash flows under long-term contracts. In this case, the forecast period is so long that it is difficult to meet the hedge accounting requirement that the occurrence of the hedged transactions is probable. For these types of economic hedges, changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in earnings currently but changes in the value of the forecasted foreign currency cash flows are only recognized in earnings when they occur. As a result, even though the derivative is an effective economic hedge, there is a net effect on earnings in each period due to differences in the timing of earnings recognition between the derivative and the hedged item.

The table below provides information about the earnings effects of all derivatives that serve as economic hedges. These derivatives are marked to fair value through earnings each period. For our financial services business, these gains and losses are reported in "GE Capital revenues from services". For our industrial businesses, the effects are reported in "Other income" or "Other costs and expenses". The offsetting earnings effects associated with hedged assets and liabilities are also displayed in the table below. In general, the earnings effects of the hedged item are recorded in the same financial statement line as the derivative. The earnings effect of economic hedges, after considering offsets related to earnings effects of hedged assets and liabilities, is substantially offset by changes in the fair value of forecasted transactions that have not yet affected earnings.

NOTIONAL AMOUNT OF DERIVATIVES

The notional amount of a derivative is the number of units of the underlying (for example, the notional principal amount of the debt in an interest rate swap). The notional amount is used to compute interest or other payment streams to be made under the contract and is a measure of our level of activity. We generally disclose derivative notional amounts on a gross basis. A substantial majority of the outstanding notional amount of $205 billion at June 30, 2016 is related to managing interest rate and currency risk between financial assets and liabilities in our financial services business. The remaining derivative notional primarily relates to hedges of anticipated sales and purchases in foreign currency, commodity purchases and contractual terms in contracts that are considered embedded derivatives.

The table below provides additional information about how derivatives are reflected in our financial statements. Derivative assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value exclusive of interest earned or owed on interest rate derivatives, which is presented separately on our balance sheet. Cash collateral and securities held as collateral represent assets that have been provided by our derivative counterparties as security for amounts they owe us (derivatives that are in an asset position).

EFFECTS OF DERIVATIVES ON EARNINGS

All derivatives are marked to fair value on our balance sheet, whether they are designated in a hedging relationship for accounting purposes or are used as economic hedges. As discussed in the previous sections, each type of hedge affects the financial statements differently. In fair value and economic hedges, both the hedged item and the hedging derivative largely offset in earnings each period. In cash flow and net investment hedges, the effective portion of the hedging derivative is offset in separate components of shareowners' equity and ineffectiveness is recognized in earnings. The table below summarizes these offsets and the net effect on earnings.

NOTE 16. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

We use variable interest entities in the ordinary course of business to operate joint ventures to provide goods and services to our customers and to arrange asset backed financing, including securitizations. 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 2016 or 2015.

CONSOLIDATED VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

Our most significant consolidated VIEs are the three joint ventures we formed with Alstom to facilitate the Alstom acquisition. These joint ventures include grid technology, renewable energy, and global nuclear and French steam power. The combined assets, liabilities and redeemable non-controlling interest in the joint ventures as of June 30, 2016 was $13,614 million, $10,295 million and $2,950 million, respectively. Further information about the formation of the Alstom joint ventures is provided in Note 7. These joint ventures are VIEs due to the nature of the exit mechanisms held by Alstom and are consolidated by GE because we control all significant activities of the joint ventures. As these joint ventures are businesses, would otherwise be consolidated under the voting model and their assets can be used for purposes other than settlement of the joint ventures' obligations, there is no continuing VIE disclosure requirement for these consolidated joint ventures.

The Consolidated VIEs for which we have continuing disclosure requirements fall into two main groups. 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, which are further described below:



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

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



Other remaining assets and liabilities of consolidated VIEs within GE and GE Capital relate primarily to three categories of entities: (1) joint ventures that lease equipment with $746 million of assets and $743 million of liabilities; (2) other entities that are involved in power generating and leasing activities with $385 million of assets and $177 million of liabilities; and (3) insurance entities that, among other lines of business, provide property and casualty and workers' compensation coverage for GE with $1,716 million of assets and $1,118 million of liabilities.

(a)

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 June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the amounts of commingled cash owed to the CSEs were $860 million and $1,093 million, respectively, and the amounts owed to us by CSEs were $12 million and $7 million, respectively.

(b)

In June 2016, we completed the sale of our Appliances business to Haier and sold all of the Appliances receivables purchased by the securitization trust to Haier for $773 million. Further information about the sale is provided in Note 2. At December 31, 2015, included $737 million of receivables purchased from Appliances.

Total revenues from our consolidated VIEs were $439 million and $212 million in the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $794 million and $714 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Related expenses consisted primarily of cost of goods and services of $257 million and $386 million in the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $601 million and $723 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

Our involvement with unconsolidated VIEs primarily consists of assisting in the formation and financing of the entity. 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 unconsolidated VIEs consists of investments in long-lived, capital intensive energy projects and companies ($6,005 million). The classification of our variable interests in these entities in our financial statements is based on the nature of the entity and the characteristics of the investment we hold.

In addition to the entities included in the table above, we also hold passive investments in investment 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 GE Capital dividends to GE; GE customer receivables sold to GE Capital; GE Capital services for trade receivables management and material procurement; buildings and equipment leased between GE and GE Capital, including sales-leaseback activity; information technology (IT) and other services sold to GE Capital by GE; aircraft engines manufactured by GE that are installed on aircraft purchased by GE Capital from third-party producers for lease to others; expenses related to parent-subsidiary pension plans, and various investments, loans and allocations of GE corporate overhead costs.

These intercompany transactions are reported in the GE and GE Capital 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 $(9,193) million, $2,918 million and $6,275 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016, and $1,105 million, $(1,848) million and $743 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively.

NOTE 18. GUARANTOR FINANCIAL INFORMATION

GUARANTOR AND NON-GUARANTOR CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL INFORMATION

On October 26, 2015, GE Capital International Funding Company Unlimited Company, formerly GE Capital International Funding Company (the Issuer), then a finance subsidiary of General Electric Capital Corporation, settled its previously announced private offers to exchange (the Exchange Offers) the Issuer's new senior unsecured notes for certain outstanding debt securities of General Electric Capital Corporation.

The new notes that were issued were composed of $15.3 billion of 0.964% Six Month Notes due April 2016 (which have subsequently been repaid upon maturity), £0.8 billion of 1.363% Six Month Notes due April 2016 (which have subsequently been repaid upon maturity), $6.1 billion of 2.342% Notes due 2020, $2.0 billion of 3.373% Notes due 2025 and $11.5 billion of 4.418% Notes due 2035. These notes were fully and unconditionally, jointly and severally guaranteed by both the Company and GE Capital International Holdings Limited (GECIHL) (each a Guarantor, and together, the Guarantors).

Under the terms of a registration rights agreement entered into in connection with the Exchange Offers, the Issuer and the Company agreed to file a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for an offer to exchange new senior notes of the Issuer registered with the SEC and guaranteed by the Guarantors for certain of the Issuer's outstanding unregistered senior notes.

(a)	Gain (loss) is recorded in GE Capital 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 $23 million loss at June 30, 2016. We expect to transfer $93 million loss to earnings as an expense in the next 12 months contemporaneously with the earnings effects of the related forecasted transactions. In both the six months ended 2016 and 2015, 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 June 30, 2016 and 2015, the maximum term of derivative instruments that hedge forecasted transactions was 16 years and 17 years, respectively. See Note12 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.

COUNTERPARTY CREDIT RISK

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

As discussed above, we have provisions in certain of our master agreements that require counterparties to post collateral (typically, cash or U.S. Treasury securities) when our receivable due from the counterparty, measured at current market value, exceeds a specified limit. The fair value of such collateral was $4,882 million at June 30, 2016, of which $3,843 million was cash and $1,038 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 $861 million at June 30, 2016. At June 30, 2016, our exposure to counterparties (including accrued interest), net of collateral we hold, was $511 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 or other ratings levels agreed upon with the counterparty. 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 $721 million at June 30, 2016. This excludes exposure related to embedded derivatives.

CONTINUING EARNINGS (LOSS)

INDUSTRIAL OPERATING EARNINGS + VERTICALS EARNINGS*

INDUSTRIAL SELLING, GENERAL & ADMINISTRATIVE (SG&A) AS A % OF SALES

(a) 14.6% excluding $3.2 billion of Alstom sales and $0.6 billion of Alstom SG&A

(b) 14.9% excluding $6.1 billion of Alstom sales and $1.1 billion of Alstom SG&A

COMMENTARY: 2016 - 2015

THREE MONTHS

Consolidated continuing earnings increased $1.6 billion, or 95%.

The net effects of dispositions on consolidated continuing earnings were increases of $1.9 billion in 2016, primarily due to an after-tax gain of $1.8 billion from the sale of our Appliances business to Haier and $0.3 billion in 2015. The effects of acquisitions on consolidated continuing earnings were a decrease of $0.1 billion in 2016 and an insignificant amount in 2015.

Financial Services losses increased $0.1 billion, or 22%, primarily due to core decreases, reflecting excess interest expense and higher insurance reserve provisions, partially offset by tax adjustments in the three months ended June 30, 2016, to bring the GE Capital six- month tax rate in line with the projected full-year tax rate.

Earnings per share amounts for the second quarter of 2016 were positively impacted by the reduction in number of outstanding common shares compared to the second quarter of 2015. The average number of shares outstanding used to calculate second quarter 2016 earnings per share amounts was 10% lower than in the second quarter of 2015 as a result of previously disclosed actions, primarily the 2015 Synchrony Financial share exchange and ongoing share buyback activities over the last 12 months funded in large part by dividends from GE Capital.

Industrial SG&A costs increased $0.6 billion as the favorable impact of cost reductions at Corporate and lower non-operating pension costs were more than offset by increases in SG&A relating to Alstom and higher restructuring charges.

SIX MONTHS

Consolidated continuing earnings increased $6.4 billion.

The net effects of dispositions on consolidated continuing earnings were increases of $1.9 billion in 2016, primarily due to an after-tax gain of $1.8 billion from the sale of our Appliances business to Haier and $0.3 billion in 2015. The effects of acquisitions on consolidated continuing earnings were a decrease of $0.1 billion in 2016 and an increase of $0.1 billion in 2015.

Financial Services losses decreased $4.7 billion, or 76%, primarily due to the absence of the 2015 charges associated with the GE Capital Exit Plan.

Earnings per share amounts for the first six months of 2016 were positively impacted by the reduction in number of outstanding common shares compared to the first six months of 2015. The average number of shares outstanding used to calculate first six-month 2016 earnings per share amounts was 8% lower than in the first six-month of 2015 as a result of previously disclosed actions, primarily the 2015 Synchrony Financial share exchange and ongoing share buyback activities over the last 12 months funded in large part by dividends from GE Capital.

Industrial SG&A costs increased $0.7 billion as the favorable impact of cost reductions at Corporate and lower non-operating pension costs were more than offset by increases in SG&A relating to Alstom and higher restructuring charges.
