BUSINESSES HELD FOR SALE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS | NOTE 2. BUSINESSES HELD FOR SALE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS ASSETS AND LIABILITIES OF BUSINESSES HELD FOR SALE. On March 31, 2020, we completed the sale of our BioPharma business within our Healthcare segment for total consideration of $21,149 million (after certain working capital adjustments). The consideration consisted of $20,732 million in cash and $417 million of pension liabilities that were assumed by Danaher. In addition, we incurred $154 million of cash payments directly associated with the transaction in the second quarter. As a result, we recognized a pre-tax gain of $12,341 million ($11,199 million after tax) in our consolidated Statement of Earnings (Loss). In the first half of 2020, we sold all our remaining businesses classified as held for sale, including the remaining Lighting business within our Corporate segment and the remaining PK AirFinance business within our Capital segment. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS. Discontinued operations primarily include our Baker Hughes and Transportation segments, and certain businesses in our GE Capital segment (our mortgage portfolio in Poland and trailing liabilities associated with the sale of our GE Capital businesses). Results of operations, financial position and cash flows for these businesses are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented. In September 2019, we reduced our ownership interest in Baker Hughes from 50.2% to 36.8% and reclassified its results to discontinued operations for all periods presented. We have continuing involvement with Baker Hughes (BKR) primarily through our remaining interest, ongoing purchases and sales of products and services, transition services that we provide to BKR, as well as an aeroderivative joint venture (JV) we formed with BKR in the fourth quarter of 2019. The JV is jointly controlled by GE and BKR and is consolidated by GE due to the significance of our investment in BKR. Our Aviation segment sells products and services to the JV. In turn, the JV sells products and services primarily to BKR and our Power segment. Transactions between the JV and GE businesses are eliminated in consolidation. In the first half of 2020, we had sales of $252 million to BKR for products and services from the JV and we collected cash of $225 million. If our investment in BKR is reduced to below 20%, we would no longer have significant influence in BKR and, as a result, we would not consolidate the JV. A potential deconsolidation of the JV is not expected to have a material impact on GE Industrial free cash flows. In addition, in the first half of 2020, we had sales of $265 million and purchases of $101 million with BKR for products and services outside of the JV. We collected net cash of $451 million from BKR related to sales, purchases and transition services. In addition, we received $130 million of repayments on the promissory note receivable from BKR and dividends of $136 million on our investment. In February 2019, we completed the spin-off and subsequent merger of our Transportation business with Wabtec. As a result, we recorded a gain of $3,471 million ($2,508 million after-tax) in discontinued operations.
(a) Earnings (loss) of discontinued operations attributable to the Company after income taxes was $17 million and $242 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Earnings (loss) of discontinued operations attributable to the Company after income taxes was $(155) million and $317 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
(a) Assets and liabilities of discontinued operations included $3,462 million and $84 million related to GE Capital as of June 30, 2020, respectively. (b) Included within All other liabilities of discontinued operations at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, are intercompany tax receivables in the amount of $829 million and $839 million, respectively, primarily related to the financial services businesses that were part of the GE Capital Exit Plan, which are offset within All other liabilities of Consolidated GE.
