(a) Information is presented on a fiscal calendar basis, consistent with our quarterly financial reporting.
(b) This category includes 14,653 thousand shares repurchased from our various benefit plans, primarily the GE Savings and Security Program
(the S&SP). Through the S&SP, a defined contribution plan with 401(k) features, we repurchase shares resulting from changes in investment
options by plan participants.
(c) This balance represents the number of shares that were repurchased through the 2004 GE Share Repurchase Program as modified by the GE
Board in November 2005 (the Program) under which we were authorized to repurchase up to $25 billion of Company common stock through
2008. The Program is flexible and shares are acquired with a combination of borrowings and free cash flow from the public markets and
other sources, including GE Stock Direct, a stock purchase plan that is available to the public. As major acquisitions or other circumstances
warrant, we modify the frequency and amount of share repurchases under the Program.
Item 6. Selected Financial Data
The selected financial data set forth in this Item 6 have been restated to reflect adjustments to our consolidated
financial statements and other financial information contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2005, originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 3,
2006. The following selected financial data should be read in conjunction with our restated financial statements and
the related Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Information below is divided into two tables, each with three sections: upper portion – consolidated data;
middle portion – GE data that reflect various conventional measurements for such enterprises; and lower portion –
GECS data that reflect key information pertinent to financial services businesses. The first table reflects the “as
reported” financial data; the second table sets forth the “as restated” financial data for that information affected by
the restatement.
