        certain concerns about our accounting for the use of interest rate swaps
        to fix
        certain otherwise variable interest costs in a portion of our commercial
        paper
        program at GECC and GECS. The SEC Enforcement staff referred such concerns
        to
        the Office of Chief Accountant. We and our auditors determined that our
        accounting for the commercial paper hedging program satisfied the requirements
        of SFAS 133 and conveyed our views to the staff of the Office of Chief
        Accountant. Following our discussions, however, the Office of Chief Accountant
        communicated its view to us that our commercial paper hedging program as
        structured did not meet the SFAS 133 specificity requirement.</font></div>

        considering the staff&#8217;s view, management recommended to the Audit Committee of
        our Board of Directors that previously reported financial results be restated
        to
        eliminate hedge accounting for the interest rate swaps entered into as part of
        our commercial paper hedging program from January 1, 2001. The Audit Committee
        discussed and agreed with this recommendation. At a meeting on January 18,
        2007,
        the Board of Directors adopted the recommendation of the Audit Committee
        and
        determined that previously reported results for GE should be restated and,
        therefore, that the previously filed financial statements and other financial
        information referred to above should not be relied upon. The restatement
        resulted from a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting,
        namely, that we did not have adequately designed procedures to designate,
        with
        the specificity required under SFAS 133, each hedged commercial paper
        transaction. </font></div>

Item
        2.02
Results
        of Operations and Financial Condition
The
        following information is furnished pursuant to Item 2.02, "Results of Operations
        and Financial Condition" and Item 7.01, "Regulation FD Disclosure."
On
        January 19, 2007, General Electric Company (GE or we) issued a press release
        setting forth GE's fourth-quarter and full year 2006 earnings and a discussion
        of the restatement described in Item 4.02(a) below. A copy of GE's press release
        is attached hereto as Exhibit 99 and hereby incorporated by reference.
Item
        4.02(a)
Non-Reliance
        on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed
        Interim Review
Restatement
        and non-reliance
On
        the date hereof, GE is filing an amendment to its Annual Report on Form 10-K
        for
        the year ended December 31, 2005, to amend and restate financial statements
        and
        other financial information for the years 2005, 2004 and 2003, and financial
        information for the years 2002 and 2001, and for each of the quarters in
        the
        years 2005 and 2004. In addition, we are filing amendments to our Quarterly
        Reports on Form 10-Q for each of the periods ended September 30, June 30,
        and
        March 31, 2006, to amend and restate financial statements for the first three
        quarters of 2006. The restatement adjusts our accounting for interest rate
        swap
        transactions related to a portion of the commercial paper issued by General
        Electric Capital Corporation (GECC) and General Electric Capital Services,
        Inc.
        (GECS), each wholly-owned subsidiaries of GE, from January 1, 2001, the date
        we
        adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133,
Accounting
        for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
,
        as amended. The restatement has no effect on our cash flows or liquidity,
        and
        its effects on our financial position at the ends of the respective restated
        periods are immaterial. We have not found that any of our hedge positions
        were
        inconsistent with our risk management policies or economic
        objectives.
In
        light of the restatement, readers should not rely on our previously filed
        financial statements and other financial information for the years and for
        each
        of the quarters in the years 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002 and 2001, and for each
        of
        the first three quarters of 2006.
Background
As
        previously disclosed, the Boston Office of the U.S. Securities and Exchange
        Commission (SEC) is conducting a formal investigation of our application
        of SFAS
        133. In the course of that investigation, the SEC Enforcement staff raised
        certain concerns about our accounting for the use of interest rate swaps
        to fix
        certain otherwise variable interest costs in a portion of our commercial
        paper
        program at GECC and GECS. The SEC Enforcement staff referred such concerns
        to
        the Office of Chief Accountant. We and our auditors determined that our
        accounting for the commercial paper hedging program satisfied the requirements
        of SFAS 133 and conveyed our views to the staff of the Office of Chief
        Accountant. Following our discussions, however, the Office of Chief Accountant
        communicated its view to us that our commercial paper hedging program as
        structured did not meet the SFAS 133 specificity requirement.
(2)
After
        considering the staff's view, management recommended to the Audit Committee of
        our Board of Directors that previously reported financial results be restated
        to
        eliminate hedge accounting for the interest rate swaps entered into as part of
        our commercial paper hedging program from January 1, 2001. The Audit Committee
        discussed and agreed with this recommendation. At a meeting on January 18,
        2007,
        the Board of Directors adopted the recommendation of the Audit Committee
        and
        determined that previously reported results for GE should be restated and,
        therefore, that the previously filed financial statements and other financial
        information referred to above should not be relied upon. The restatement
        resulted from a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting,
        namely, that we did not have adequately designed procedures to designate,
        with
        the specificity required under SFAS 133, each hedged commercial paper
        transaction.
As
        of January 1, 2007, we modified our commercial paper hedging program and
        adopted
        documentation for interest rate swaps that we believe complies with the
        requirements of SFAS 133 and remediated the related internal control weakness.
The
        Audit Committee of our Board of Directors has discussed the matters disclosed
        in
        this current report on Form 8-K with KPMG LLP, our independent registered
        public
        accounting firm.
The
        SEC investigation into our application of SFAS 133 and hedge accounting is
        continuing. We continue to cooperate fully.
