GENERAL ELECTRIC CAPITAL CORPORATION AND CONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES
Notes to Condensed, Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. The accompanying condensed quarterly financial statements represent the
consolidation of General Electric Capital Corporation and all
majority-owned and controlled affiliates (collectively called "the
Corporation" or "GECC"). All significant transactions among the parent
and consolidated affiliates have been eliminated. Certain prior period
data have been reclassified to conform to the current period
presentation.
2. The condensed consolidated quarterly financial statements are unaudited.
These statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary by management to present a fair statement
of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows. The
results reported in these condensed consolidated financial statements
should not be regarded as necessarily indicative of results that may be
expected for the entire year.
3. The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") has issued, then
subsequently amended, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, effective for
the Corporation on January 1, 2001. Upon adoption, all derivative instruments
(including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) will be
recognized in balance sheets at fair value, and changes in such fair values must
be recognized immediately in earnings unless specific hedging criteria are met.
Changes in the values of derivatives meeting these hedging criteria will
ultimately offset related earnings effects of the hedged items; effects of
qualifying changes in fair value are to be recorded in equity pending
recognition in earnings. Management has not determined the total probable
effects on its financial statements of adopting SFAS No. 133, as amended, and
does not believe that an estimate of such effects would be meaningful at this
time.
4. A summary of changes in share owner's equity that do not result directly
from transactions with share owners is provided below.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations
Overview
Net earnings for the first six months of 2000 were $2,409 million, a $472
million (24%) increase over the first six months of 1999. The results reflected
the globalization and diversity of the Corporation's businesses. The improvement
in earnings was largely attributable to higher levels of asset gains and the
effects of continued asset growth, principally from acquisitions of businesses
and portfolios.
Operating Results
Total Revenues from all sources increased $5,718 million (27%) to $27,037
million for the first six months of 2000, compared with $21,319 million for the
first six months of 1999. This increase primarily reflected a combination of
acquisition and core growth in the Consumer Services segment, asset gains and
core growth in the Specialized Financing segment, and core growth in the
Specialty Insurance and Mid-Market Financing segments.
Interest expense for the first six months of 2000 was $5,084 million, 22% higher
than for the first six months of 1999. The increase reflected higher interest
rates and higher average borrowings used to finance asset growth. The composite
interest rate on the Corporation's borrowings for the first six months of 2000
was 5.64% compared with 5.20% in the first six months of 1999.
Operating and administrative expenses were $8,009 million for the first six
months of 2000, a 30% increase over the first six months of 1999. The increase
primarily reflected increases in insurance commissions and other costs
associated with businesses and portfolios acquired over the past year. Excluding
the effects of other costs associated with businesses and portfolios acquired
over the past year, operating and administrative expenses would have increased
less than 10%.
Cost of goods sold is associated with activities of the Corporation's computer
equipment distribution business and retail operation. This cost amounted to
$4,308 million for the first six months of 2000, compared with $3,317 million
for the first six months of 1999. The increase primarily reflected the
consolidation of the retail operation.
Insurance losses and policyholder and annuity benefits increased $957 million to
$3,694 million for the first six months of 2000, compared with the first six
months of 1999. The increase primarily reflected the effects of business
acquisitions and growth in premium volume throughout the period, partially
offset by improved market conditions in the mortgage insurance business.
Provision for losses on financing receivables was $914 million for the first six
months of 2000 compared with $819 million for the first six months of 1999.
These provisions principally related to credit cards, personal loans and auto
loans and auto leases in the Consumer Services segment, which are discussed
below under Portfolio Quality.
Depreciation and amortization of buildings and equipment and equipment on
operating leases increased $146 million to $1,639 million for the first six
months of 2000 compared with $1,493 million for the first six months of 1999.
The increase was principally the result of higher shorter-lived levels of
equipment on operating leases, primarily reflecting acquisition growth.
Provision for income taxes was $940 million for the first six months of 2000 (an
effective tax rate of 28.1%), compared with $655 million for the first six
months of 1999 (an effective tax rate of 25.3%). The higher effective tax rate
primarily reflected increased earnings taxed at statutory rates.

</TABLE>
Consumer Services revenues increased 31% and net earnings increased 35% for the
first six months of 2000, compared with the first six months of 1999. The
increase in revenues was led by acquisition-related and core growth in the
consumer savings and insurance, U.S. consumer credit card, and non-U.S. consumer
finance businesses, partially offset by the effects of asset reductions in
automobile financing activities. The increase in net earnings was led by a
combination of core growth in the U.S. consumer credit card business and
acquisition-related growth in the consumer savings and insurance business.
Equipment Management revenues decreased 3% for the first six months of 2000,
compared with the corresponding period in 1999, primarily as a result of volume
declines in the European information technology products and services business,
partially offset by acquisition-related growth in fleet services and core growth
in aviation services. Net earnings decreased 26% for the first six months of
2000, compared with the corresponding period in 1999 primarily attributable to
volume declines in the European information technology products and services
business and reduced asset gains in the railcar business, partially offset by
core growth in aviation services.
Mid-Market Financing revenues grew 21% and net earnings increased 24% for the
first six months of 2000, compared with the corresponding period in 1999,
primarily as a result of core growth from increased originations.
Specialized Financing revenues rose 73%, while net earnings increased 111% in
the first six months of 2000 compared with the first six months of 1999.
Revenues principally reflect increases in asset gains as well as origination
growth. Net earnings growth is principally the result of operating strength led
by gains on sale of equity investments.
Specialty Insurance revenues decreased 1% in the first six months of 2000,
compared with the corresponding period in 1999, principally resulting from lower
net realized investment gains. Net earnings decreased 13% in the same period
also reflecting lower net realized investment gains, partially offset by
improved conditions in the mortgage insurance business.
All Other growth in revenues and increase in net loss were primarily the result
of the consolidation of the retail operation.

<PAGE>
Portfolio Quality
Financing receivables are the financing businesses' largest asset and their
primary source of revenues. The portfolio of financing receivables, before
allowance for losses, increased to $145.1 billion at July 1, 2000, from $139.1
billion at the end of 1999, primarily reflecting the effects of acquisition
growth and higher origination volume, partially offset by foreign currency
translation on European financing receivables. The related allowance for losses
at July 1, 2000 amounted to $3.9 billion ($3.7 billion at the end of 1999) and
represents management's best estimate of probable losses inherent in the
portfolio given its strength and diversity, and current economic circumstances.
A discussion about the quality of certain elements of the portfolio of financing
receivables follows. "Nonearning" receivables are those that are 90 days or more
delinquent (or for which collection has otherwise become doubtful) and
"reduced-earning" receivables are commercial receivables whose terms have been
restructured to a below-market yield.
Consumer financing receivables, primarily credit card and personal loans and
auto loans and leases, were $48.0 billion at July 1, 2000, a decrease of $2.7
billion from the end of 1999. Nonearning receivables remained steady at $0.9
billion, 1.9% of total consumer financing receivables, at July 1, 2000 and
December 31, 1999. Write-offs of consumer receivables increased to $1.0 billion
for the first six months of 2000 compared with $0.8 billion for the first six
months of 1999. This increase was primarily attributable to the effects of
higher average revolving product receivable balances resulting from
acquisitions.
Other financing receivables, totaling $97.1 billion at July 1, 2000 ($88.4
billion at December 31, 1999), consisted of a diverse commercial, industrial and
equipment loan and lease portfolio. Related nonearning and reduced-earning
receivables were $1.0 billion at July 1, 2000, compared with $0.9 billion at
year-end 1999.
Statement of Financial Position
The Corporation's assets increased by $15.0 billion from the end of 1999,
largely a result of acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of Toho Mutual
Life Insurance Company ("Toho"), an entity that was insolvent when acquired.
That acquisition included approximately $13.2 billion in cash, as well as
financing receivables and other assets, in exchange for assuming Toho's existing
policyholder liabilities. The significant cash position of Toho at the date of
acquisition reflected the liquidity needs of the business including policyholder
redemptions that have occurred through July 1, 2000 and are expected to
continue over the remainder of the six month period following the acquisition.
Statement of Cash Flows
The Corporation's cash and equivalents increased by $3.3 billion during the
first half of 2000 to $9.8 billion, principally as a result of cash acquired in
connection with the Toho acquisition. Cash provided from operating activities
amounted to $1.5 billion during the first six months of 2000 compared with $7.4
billion during the first half of 1999. The decrease in cash from operating
activities compared with last year was largely attributable to policyholder
redemptions associated with the Toho acquisition and a smaller decrease in
mortgages held for resale. Cash from financing activities totaled $12.7 billion,
primarily as a result of policyholder liabilities assumed in the Toho
acquisition, the effect of which was partially offset by net reductions in debt.
The principal use of cash during the period was for investing activities ($10.9
billion), a majority of which was attributable to investments in securities,
financing receivables and equipment on operating leases.
