could adversely or positively affect our future results include: the behavior of
financial markets, including fluctuations in interest and exchange rates,
commodity and equity prices and the value of financial assets; continued
volatility and further deterioration of the capital markets; the commercial and
consumer credit environment; the impact of regulation and regulatory,
investigative and legal actions; strategic actions, including acquisitions and
dispositions; future integration of acquired businesses; future financial
performance of major industries which we serve, including, without limitation,
the air and rail transportation, energy generation, media, real estate and
healthcare industries; and numerous other matters of national, regional and
global scale, including those of a political, economic, business and competitive
nature. These uncertainties may cause our actual future results to be materially
different than those expressed in our forward-looking statements. We have not
updated our forward-looking statements made as of the original filing date of

Item
8.01 Other Events
General
Electric Company (the "Company") is filing this Form 8-K to update the financial
information in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2007 ("2007 10-K") and segment results for the six quarters ended
June 30, 2008, to reflect our revised financial information and disclosures as a
result of our segment reorganization and the effects of reporting our Japanese
mortgage and card businesses as discontinued operations.
As
described in our Form 8-K filed July 25, 2008, we reorganized our businesses
effective July 25, 2008. We believe that this new organizational structure
simplifies the company and aligns businesses for growth and
efficiency.
Our
five operating segments as of July 25, 2008, were as follows:
·
Technology
      Infrastructure – the combination of our previous Healthcare segment, the
      Aviation and Transportation businesses of our previous Infrastructure
      segment and the Enterprise Solutions business of our previous Industrial
      Products segment
·
Energy
      Infrastructure – the combination of our Energy (including our motors
      business which was previously reported in our Industrial Products
      segment), Oil & Gas and Water & Process Technologies businesses of
      our previous Infrastructure segment
·
Capital
      Finance – the combination of our previous Commercial Finance and GE Money
      segments and the Aviation Financial Services, Transportation Finance and
      Energy Financial Services businesses of our previous Infrastructure
      segment
·
NBC
      Universal − unchanged
·
Consumer
      & Industrial – the Consumer & Industrial business (excluding our
      motors business) of our previous Industrial Products
    segment
More
detailed business descriptions are presented in the exhibits referred to in Item
9.01.
As
required by Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 131,
Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information,
consolidated financial statements
issued by GE in the future will reflect modifications to our previous reportable
segments resulting from these organizational changes, including reclassification
of all comparative prior period segment information. Accordingly, in this Form
8-K, we are providing the required reclassified information about this
reorganization as it relates to prior periods.
As
previously reported in our second quarter 2008 Form 10-Q, subsequent to the end
of the second quarter of 2008, we reached an agreement to sell GE Money Japan,
which is comprised of our Japanese personal loan business (Lake) and our
Japanese mortgage and card businesses, excluding our minority ownership in GE
Nissen Credit Co., Ltd.  During the third quarter of 2008, we
completed the sale of GE Money Japan. This Form 8-K also reflects GE Money Japan
as discontinued operations and revises the financial position, results of
operations and cash flows reported in the Statement of Financial Position,
Statement of Earnings, and Statement of Cash Flows for the addition of our
Japanese mortgage and card businesses, excluding our minority ownership in GE
Nissen Credit Co., Ltd., to discontinued operations.
(2)
Also,
as previously reported in our second quarter 2008 Form 10-Q, during the course
of an internal review in connection with our ongoing U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission investigation, we identified certain immaterial items with
respect to the Statement of Cash Flows that we have corrected from amounts in
previous filings. These items primarily relate to elimination of intercompany
transactions between GE and GECS and include effects of clerical errors, errors
in elimination classifications among operating, investing and financing
activities and transaction-reporting errors involving identification of
intercompany transactions that had not previously been eliminated in the
Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. These errors had no effects on our total
cash or cash equivalents, nor did they affect our financial position or results
of operations. This Form 8-K reflects the effects of these immaterial
corrections for the Statement of Cash Flows for the years ended December 31,
2007, 2006 and 2005.
Item
9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits
Exhibit
23 − Consent of KPMG LLP.
The
following exhibits filed with this Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference
update and supersede only our segment results for the six quarters ended June
30, 2008 and those portions of our 2007 10-K that are most affected by our
recent segment reorganization and the reporting of our Japanese mortgage and
card businesses as discontinued operations.
All
other information in our quarterly reports and the 2007 10-K has not been
updated for events or developments that occurred subsequent to the filing of the
2007 10-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. For developments
since the filing of the 2007 10-K, please refer to the Company's Quarterly
Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008, and
the Company's Forms 8-K filed since the filing of the 2007 10-K. For information
concerning the effects of recent conditions in the financial markets on the
Company's earnings guidance and operating plan, please refer to the Company's
Forms 8-K filed on September 25, 2008 and October 1, 2008. The information in
this Form 8-K, including the exhibits, should be read in conjunction with the
2007 10-K and subsequent SEC filings.

    statements.
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 often
contain words such as "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "believe,"
"seek," or "will." Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters
that are, to different degrees, uncertain. For us, particular uncertainties that
could adversely or positively affect our future results include: the behavior of
financial markets, including fluctuations in interest and exchange rates,
commodity and equity prices and the value of financial assets; continued
volatility and further deterioration of the capital markets; the commercial and
consumer credit environment; the impact of regulation and regulatory,
investigative and legal actions; strategic actions, including acquisitions and
dispositions; future integration of acquired businesses; future financial
performance of major industries which we serve, including, without limitation,
the air and rail transportation, energy generation, media, real estate and
healthcare industries; and numerous other matters of national, regional and
global scale, including those of a political, economic, business and competitive
nature. These uncertainties may cause our actual future results to be materially
different than those expressed in our forward-looking statements. We have not
updated our forward-looking statements made as of the original filing date of
our 2007 10-K to account for subsequent events.
