• Excludes intercompany advances from GECC to Trinity, which are eliminated in consolidation of $2,366 million and $2,441 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
• We provide servicing to the CSEs and are contractually permitted to commingle cash collected from customers on financing receivablessold to CSE investors with our own cash prior to payment to a CSE, provided our short-term credit rating does not fall below A-1/P-1. These CSEs also owe us amounts for purchased financial assets and scheduled interest and principal payments. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the amountsof commingled cash owed to the CSEs were $6,018 million and $6,225 million, respectively, and the amounts owed to us by CSEs were $5,546million and $6,143 million, respectively.
• Asset amounts exclude intercompany receivables for cash collected on behalf of the entities by GE as servicer, which are eliminated in consolidation. Such receivables provide the cash to repay the entities' liabilities. If these intercompany receivables were included in the table above, assets would be higher. In addition, other assets, borrowings and other liabilities exclude intercompany balances that are eliminated in consolidation.
