January 1, 2010, we reorganized our segments to better align our Consumer &amp;

we created a new segment called Home &amp; Business Solutions that includes the

segment and the retained portion of the GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms business
of our previous Enterprise Solutions business (a business formerly within our
Technology Infrastructure segment). In addition, the Industrial business of our
previous Consumer &amp; Industrial segment and the Sensing &amp; Inspection

of the Energy business within the Energy Infrastructure segment. The Security
business of Enterprise Solutions is now reported in GE Corporate Items and

Capital Finance segment was renamed GE Capital and includes all of the
continuing operations of General Electric Capital Corporation.</font></div>

Item
7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
General
Electric Company is furnishing this Form 8-K to provide revised unaudited
summary segment financial information for the years ended December 31, 2009,
2008 and 2007 and each of the quarters in 2009 and 2008, to reflect the results
of our segment reorganization that became effective January 1,
2010.
Effective
January 1, 2010, we reorganized our segments to better align our Consumer &
Industrial and Energy businesses for growth. As a result of this reorganization,
we created a new segment called Home & Business Solutions that includes the
Appliances and Lighting businesses from our previous Consumer & Industrial
segment and the retained portion of the GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms business
of our previous Enterprise Solutions business (a business formerly within our
Technology Infrastructure segment). In addition, the Industrial business of our
previous Consumer & Industrial segment and the Sensing & Inspection
Technologies and Digital Energy businesses of Enterprise Solutions are now part
of the Energy business within the Energy Infrastructure segment. The Security
business of Enterprise Solutions is now reported in GE Corporate Items and
Eliminations pending its expected sale. Also, effective January 1, 2010, the
Capital Finance segment was renamed GE Capital and includes all of the
continuing operations of General Electric Capital Corporation.
As a
result of this reorganization, our five operating segments as of January 1,
2010, are as follows:
·
Technology
      Infrastructure – our Aviation, Healthcare and Transportation
      businesses
·
Energy
      Infrastructure – our Energy business (including the Sensing &
      Inspection Technology and Digital Energy businesses) and our Oil & Gas
      business
·
Home
      & Business Solutions – our Appliances and Lighting, and Intelligent
      Platforms businesses
·
GE
      Capital – Our Commercial Lending and Leasing, Consumer, Real Estate,
      Energy Financial Services and GE Capital Aviation Services businesses and
      General Electric Capital Corporation
Corporate
·
NBC
      Universal – unchanged
In
this Form 8-K, we are providing prior-period reclassified segment information
resulting from these organizational changes. GE's consolidated financial
statements covering periods beginning on January 1, 2010 will reflect
modifications to our previous reportable segments resulting from this
reorganization, including reclassification of all comparative prior period
segment information.
The
information furnished pursuant to Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99, shall not be
deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the "Exchange Act") or otherwise subject to the liabilities under that Section
and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing of the
Company under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act.
Item
9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.
Exhibit
99 – Unaudited revised summary operating segment financial information for
General Electric Company and its consolidated affiliates for the fiscal years
ended December 31, 2009, December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, and each of
the quarters in 2009 and 2008.
