Performance Highlights“Our infrastructure and media businesses continued to see signs of strength. Energy Infrastructure led the quarter with a 31% increase in segment profit based on broad-based global demand and double-digit increases in orders and services. NBC Universal grew segment profit 10%, its eighth straight quarter of growth. Technology Infrastructure grew segment profit 2%, with Aviation’s strong performance partially offset by a challenging quarter at Healthcare. Overall industrial growth should continue based on solid orders. We are encouraged by our sustained orders growth in services, as these revenues are reliable with attractive margins even in a period of economic volatility.

Our financial services business generated $2 billion of earnings, consistent with our revised expectations. While GE Capital is not immune from the current environment, we continued to outperform our financial services peers. We are improving our margins and focusing these businesses on the right products and markets. GE Capital is on track to earn over $9 billion for the year.”

Good performance in tough environment

Today’s interdependent global economy is creating new opportunities for growth — and the corresponding challenges of man-aging that growth responsibly. In both instances, GE’s size is an advantage. GE is leveraging its size to make a big impact in the following areas:

Ecomagination — accelerating the devel-opment, marketing and visibility of products that will help our customers meet pressing environmental issues across a variety of industries. We have also set ambitious targets for reducing the emission of green-house gases and increasing the energy efficiency of our operations.– “Investing and Delivering on ecomagina-

tion” — The company’s third report on how GE is delivering on its environmental commitments can be viewed and down-loaded on line at http://ge.ecomagination.com/site/index.html#media/2007 ecoreport

Emerging markets — a vital part of GE’s growth strategy in the years ahead — but to be successful we must integrate citizenship from day one, solve big needs and create value for local communities. – Nearly 60% of our growth will come from

developing countries in the next decade.– Emerging markets will represent ~25% of

global talent by 2010.

Compliance & Governance — our compli-ance systems have brought all our business leaders into the process — not just our finance and legal staffs. Maintaining high standards of compliance and governance supports a high performance, high integrity culture. – Named Top Corporate Performer - Global

Governance by One World Trust.

Environment, Health & Safety — our EHS management system is designed to establish global standards and to promote business leadership, responsibility and accountability for performance. GE does this by providing our employees with the information and training they need to meet GE’s EHS expectations and maintain the monitoring systems to ensure we meet these expectations everywhere we oper-ate, including emerging markets.

“Investing in a sustainable future” — The company’s third citizenship report on how GE uses its capabilities to help address some of the world’s most pressing needs can be viewed and downloaded online at www.ge.com/citizenship.

As a result, the Company is well positioned to perform in a very difficult environment, and our Board has approved our

plan to sustain the GE dividend through 2009.”

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 “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” or “will.” Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain. For us, particular uncertainties which could adversely or positively affect our future results include: the behavior of financial markets, including fluctuations in interest rates and commodity prices; strategic actions, including 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; unanticipated loss development in our insurance businesses; and numerous other matters of national, regional and global scale, including those of a political, economic, business, competitive and regulatory nature. These uncertainties may cause our actual future results to be materially different than those expressed in our forward-looking statements. We do not undertake to update our forward-looking statements.
