Independent Auditors' Report

General Electric Company, as administrator
GE Savings and Security Program:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan benefits of GE Savings and Security Program (the "Plan") as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule H, line 4i - schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2001 is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

GE SAVINGS AND SECURITY PROGRAM

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2001 and 2000 

(1) Description of the Plan

GE Savings and Security Program (the "Plan") is a defined contribution plan sponsored by General Electric Company. The Plan is subject to applicable provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). The Trustees of the Plan are officers of GE Asset Management Incorporated ("GEAM"), a wholly owned subsidiary of General Electric Company. GEAM is investment advisor to the Plan and provides investment management services, except for the investments in General Electric Company common stock and United States Savings Bonds. State Street Corporation and The Bank of New York are the primary custodians for Plan assets.

The following description of the Plan is provided for general information purposes only. The complete terms of the Plan are provided in the GE Savings and Security Program document (the "Plan Document"). Information concerning the Plan, including benefits, vesting provisions and effects of plan termination is included in plan handbooks and other material distributed to participants.

Employee Contributions and Investment Funds

Eligible employees of General Electric Company and its participating affiliates may participate in the Plan by investing a portion of their earnings (generally up to 7% with employer partial matching and an additional 10% without any employer matching) in one or more of the following funds or investments generally through a trust established to administer the investment of program funds:

(a)    General Electric Company common stock (the "GE Stock Fund" or "GE common stock").

(b)    S&S Long Term Interest Fund (the "LT Fund") – a registered investment company that invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of investment grade debt securities, such as U.S. Government securities, mortgage backed securities, asset-backed securities, corporate bonds and money market instruments.

(c)    S&S Program Mutual Fund (the "Mutual Fund") – a registered investment company that invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of equity securities of U.S. companies.

(d)    GE Institutional International Equity Fund (the "INT Fund") – a registered investment company that invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of equity securities of companies in countries other than the U.S.

(e)    S&S Short Term Interest Fund (the "ST Fund") – invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of investment grade debt securities, such as U.S. Government securities, mortgage backed securities, asset-backed securities, corporate bonds and money market instruments.

(f)    S&S Money Market Fund (the "MM Fund") – invests primarily in short-term, U.S. dollar denominated money market instruments and other debt instruments that mature in one year or less.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2001 and 2000 

 

(g)    United States Savings Bonds ("U.S. Bond Fund") – consists of individual participants' investments in U.S. Savings Bonds. Pending accumulation of sufficient individual funds, investments are made in short-term money market instruments. Only participant after-tax contributions may be invested in the U.S. Bond Fund.

Participants may elect, up to twelve times a year, to switch their investment in an investment fund to another investment fund or split the amount equally between two other investment funds. The U.S. Bond Fund does not accept switches from other investment funds and U.S. Savings Bonds purchased with after-tax contributions after 1988 cannot be switched to another investment.

The Internal Revenue Code sets out maximum limits on participant pre-tax contributions. The limit was $10,500 for 2001 and 2000.

Employer Contributions

The Plan generally provides for employer matching contributions of 50% of employees' contributions of up to 7% of their earnings which may be invested at the election of the participant in any one of the investment funds except for the U.S. Bond Fund.

Rollovers and Transfers from Other Qualifying Plans

Subject to General Electric Company approval, participants may elect to roll over amounts from other qualifying plans or arrangements in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code. For the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, transfers from other qualifying plans or arrangements accounted for $41.5 million and $72.0 million, respectively, which are shown as employee contributions in the statements of changes in net assets available for plan benefits.

Withdrawals

Subject to certain limitations prescribed by the Plan and the Internal Revenue Code, terminated participants may elect retirement or other termination withdrawals in either lump sum or partial payments and currently employed participants may make up to seven withdrawals per year or certain hardship withdrawals from their participant accounts. Partial payments on termination are generally limited to four per year and a minimum of $500 each.

Loans to Participants

The Plan permits participants, under certain circumstances, to borrow a minimum of $500 from their participant accounts. Subject to certain Internal Revenue Code and Plan limits, such loans cannot exceed the lesser of 50% of the participant's available account value, as defined in the Plan Document, or $50,000, adjusted for prior loans. The interest rate applicable to participant loans is based on the monthly average of the composite yield on corporate bonds, as published by Moody's Investors Service.

A participant may have no more than two outstanding loans from the Plan at any time and may not obtain more than one such loan during any calendar year.

Loans are repaid with interest in equal payments over the term of the loan by payroll deductions, personal check or other such methods as may be required. Participants may repay the entire principal amount by check with written notice and without penalty beginning three months after the date of the loan.

In the event of a loan default, the Plan will report the outstanding loan balance as a withdrawal.

Vesting

Participants are fully vested in their employee and employer contributions.

Plan Termination and Amendment

Although General Electric Company has not expressed any intent to do so, it has the right under the Plan (subject to applicable contractual requirements) to discontinue its contributions, and to terminate the Plan in accordance with the provisions of ERISA. If the Plan is terminated, each participant's interest will be payable in full according to the Plan provisions. General Electric Company also has the right under the Plan (subject to applicable contractual requirements) to amend or replace it for any reason.

Administrative and Investment Advisory Costs

Administrative costs of the plan are generally borne by General Electric Company. As investment adviser, GEAM is reimbursed for its costs incurred or receives a management fee for providing investment advisory services to the registered investment companies.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a)    Basis of Accounting

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.

(b)    Investments

Plan investments are stated at fair value. General Electric Company common stock is valued at the New York Stock Exchange closing price. Investments in registered investment companies are valued at the closing price on NASDAQ. Long-term U.S. government, agency and corporate debt, notes, bonds, and loans secured by mortgages are valued at current quoted market prices. Loans to participants bear interest at market rates and cost plus accrued interest approximates fair value. Short-term money market instruments, U.S. government, agency and corporate notes are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. U.S. Savings Bonds are valued at the current cash redemption value published by the U.S. Treasury Department.

GE SAVINGS AND SECURITY PROGRAM

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2001 and 2000 

 

Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Dividends on General Electric Company common stock are recorded as of the record date. Interest income is earned from settlement date and recognized on the accrual basis.

The LT Fund may use various financial instruments, particularly forward foreign currency contracts, options, and futures, commonly referred to as derivatives, to manage its risk. The LT Fund does not engage in market-making or other speculative activities in the derivatives markets. Established practices require that derivative financial instruments relate to specific asset, liability, or equity transactions or to currency exposures. More detailed information regarding these financial instruments, as well as the strategies and policies for their use, is contained in the audited financial statements of the LT Fund which are distributed annually to participants.

(c)    Accounting Change

At January 1, 2001, the Plan adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended. SFAS No. 133 requires that an entity recognize all derivatives and measure those instruments at fair value.  Prior to adoption, the Plan's derivatives, if any, were carried at fair value.  As a result, the adoption of SFAS No. 133 had no impact on the Plan's financial statements.

(d)    Management Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The ST Fund may, from time to time, lend securities to certain unrelated brokers. In the event the counterparty does not meet its contracted obligation to return securities used, the ST Fund may be exposed to the risk of reacquiring the securities at prevailing market prices in order to satisfy its obligations. The ST Fund receives collateral in the form of cash or securities, which may be supplemented by letters of credit, in an amount generally in excess of the market value of securities loaned. The ST Fund monitors the market value of the securities loaned on a daily basis with additional collateral obtained or refunded as necessary. The value of loaned securities, primarily U.S. Treasury obligations, amounted to $229.8 million and $61.2 million at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The value of cash collateral obtained and reinvested in short-term investments is reflected as a liability in the Plan's financial statements.

- 10 -


GE SAVINGS AND SECURITY PROGRAM

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2001 and 2000

 

Audited financial statements of the LT Fund, the Mutual Fund and the INT Fund are distributed annually to participants.

The Plan offers a number of investment options including GE common stock and a variety of pooled investment funds, some of which are registered investment companies. The investment funds include U.S. equities, international equities, and fixed income securities. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit, and overall market volatility risk. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonable to expect that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participant account balances.

The Plan's exposure to a concentration of credit risk is limited by the diversification of investments across seven participant-directed fund elections.  Additionally, the investments within each participant-directed fund election are further diversified into varied financial instruments, with the exception of the GE Stock Fund and the U.S. Bond Fund, which invest in securities of a single issuer.

(4) Tax Status

The Internal Revenue Service has notified General Electric Company by a letter dated April 30, 2002, that the Plan is qualified under the appropriate sections of the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan has been amended since that letter was issued. However, counsel for the Plan has no reason to believe that those amendments have adversely affected the validity of the determination letter.

The portion of a participant's compensation contributed to the Plan as a pre-tax contribution and General Electric Company's matching contribution are not subject to Federal income tax when such contributions are credited to participant accounts, subject to certain limitations. These amounts and any investment earnings may be included in the participant's gross taxable income for the year in which such amounts are withdrawn from the Plan.

(5) Plan Amendments

The Plan was amended primarily to comply with the requirements of the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act in 2001. The amendments are generally effective January 1, 2002.
