Management Review

The Directors present their interim financial report for the period ended 30 June 2018.

Principal activities, business review and future developmentsGE Capital European Funding Unlimited Company (the ‘Company) is incorporated and tax resident in Ireland andoperates as a financial services company. The Company, GE Capital European Funding & Co. (the “Partnership”)and GE Capital International 6 Limited Group (‘GECI6’) (together the “Subsidiaries”) are consolidated in the GECapital European funding Unlimited Company group (the “Group”).

The Company is a public unlimited company. it is a wholly owned indirect subsidiary’ of General Electric Company(‘GEC”).

The Group has established a Euro Commercial Paper (“Commercial Paper” or “C?”) Programme and a EuroMedium Term Note (“MTN”) Programme. The MTN programme is listed on the London Stock Exchange. Thepurpose of these programmes is to obtain financing in the capital markets, to fund the operations of GEC affiliates.The Group’s intermediate parent in the capital structure, GE Capital International Holdings Limited (‘GECIHL’), hasguaranteed (assigned from General Electric Capital Corporation) the CP and MTN programmes of the Group thusreducing the risk to any potential investor and supporting the C? and MTN programmes and as of 10 April 2015,GEC, has also guaranteed the CP and MTN programmes of the Group thus reducing further the risk to any potentialinvestor. During the period, GECIHL had excess cash on hand and as a result the Group did not participate in the CPmarket.

The Directors are satisfied with the results of the Group given that the loss in the current period arises primarily dueto fair value movements and reduced interest income offset by foreigii exchange gains. The results for the half-yearare set out in the Consolidated Condensed Statement of Comprehensive Income - Unaudited on page $ and therelated notes.

The Group’s loss before taxation decreased from a loss of $88 million for the 6 month period ending 30 June 2017 toa loss of $25 million for the 6 month period ending 30 June 2018. This is primarily driven by movement in foreignexchange losses in 2017 to gains in 2018 as a result of movement in EUR’USD foreign exchange rates. This is offsetby reduced interest income primarily driven by decrease in average loan balance outstanding from GEC affiliates asa result of loan repayments made by affiliates in the period. During the period, no fixed rate debt failed hedgeeffectiveness. Fixed rate debt which failed hedge effectiveness in the prior period and has not yet matured is held atamortised cost as it is not in a qualifijing hedging relationships at the period end. The corresponding derivatives arealso held for trading as at 30 June 2018.

The average monthly number of employees in the Company and Group decreased from 35 for the year ended 3 1December 2017 to 31 for the period ended 30 June 2018 due to internal reorganisation.

Management Review (continued)

Going concernThe future growth of the Group is dependent on the cash needs of the GEC Group and in particular GECIHI. TheDirectors have assessed the loan receivable positions and have concluded that the balances remain recoverable, animpairment loss provision on adoption of JfRS 9 has been recognised on loans and advances to GEC affiliates heldat arnortised cost and is discussed in the following paragraphs. The GEC Group does not expect the need for newlong term debt issuances by the Group for the foreseeable ftirnre. As noted above, the entire debt issued by theGroup through its CP and MTN arrangements is guaranteed by GEC and GECIHL.

The Directors have also considered the below among other factors in concluding that it is appropriate to prepare thefinancial statements on a going concern basis:

• The Group has substantial positive equity and it is linked to the GEC’s European cash pool, therefore has theresources to continue in business• GECIHL has guaranteed the Group’s liabilities under its CP and MTN prograrmries, substantially niitigatingliquidity risk• GEC has also guaranteed the Group’s liabilities under its CP and MTN programmes, substantially mitigatingliquidity risk

C? and MTN’sThe following table sets out the period on period increase/(decrease) in MTNs issued, lending from GEC affiliatesand lending to GEC affiliates. The Directors define GEC affiliates to be subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures ofthe wider GEC Grotip. The CP programme continues presently albeit no CP has been issued since March 2016. Thetable has been calculated using the closing balances for the period.

Management Review (continued)

Risks & uncertainties for the remaining six months of the yearThe main financial risks that the Group is exposed to are foreign exchange risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk,market risk, credit risk and other price risk. The Directors are responsible for the oversight of the management ofthese exposures, as set out in Note 15.

foreign exchange riskThe main financial risk of the Group is the exposure to foreign exchange (“FX”) risk. This risk arises during thecurrent period, as some operations including loans and advances to GEC affiliates and all debt securities issued arein Euro while the firnctional currency of the Group is USD. During the period, the Group recorded an fX gain of$31.3 million (30 June 2017: Loss of$l 10.7 million) driven by movement in the Euro/USD rates.

Interest rate riskDuring 201$ interest rates remained at low levels. The Company, as a funding company, is exposed to interest ratevolatility. Through the use of derivatives the Group is generally able to reduce interest rate mis-matches and in sodoing reduce its interest rate risk. The Directors monitor interest rate exposure. See Note 15(c) for analysis ofinterest rate exposure at period end.

Liquidity riskLiquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations from its financial liabilities.The Group has access to the cash pool of the wider GEC Group to fill any short-term liquidity requirements. Seefurther analysis of liquidity risk at the period end at Note 15(b).

Market risksThe fair value of financial assets and liabilities may change due to interest rate volatility, credit spread changes andgeneral market conditions. In an effort to ensure appropriate valuations were obtained, the Group relied onindependent pricing providers such as Bloomberg and models used by the wider GEC Group which primarily useobservable market data as inputs. Such valuations necessarily involve judgments and uncertainties on the selectionof inputs. Critical judgments and ttncertainties surrounding valuations are discussed further in Note 15(c) to thecondensed financial statements.

Credit risksGEC affiliates may experience difficulty in repaying loans. By carrying out comprehensive due diligence on eachborrower the Group has been able to manage its exposure to credit risk and the Group experienced no defaultsduring the period. As a result of adoption of IfRS 9 on 1 January 201 8, an impairment loss was recognised on loansand advances held at amortised cost to GEC affiliates of $13,218 thousand. This provision was re-measured at 30,June 2018 to be $15,302 thousand. Please refer to note 3 and Note 15 for further details. The Directors will continueto monitor the financial strength of its borrowers to ensure the Group’s exposure to the risk of default is minimized.

Operational RiskOperational risk is the risk of direct or indirect loss arising from a wide variety of causes associated with theGroup’s processes, personnel, technology and infrastructure, and from external factors other than credit, market andliquidity risks such as those arising from legal requirements and generally accepted standards of corporatebehaviour. Operational risks arise from all of the Group’s operations and are faced by all business entities. TheGroup’s seeks to manage operational risk so as to balance the avoidance of financial losses and damage to theGroup’s reputation with overall cost effectiveness and to avoid control procedures that restrict initiative andcreativity. The Directors, supported by the wider GEC Group, are responsible for the development andimplementation of controls to address operational risk.

Management Review (continued)

This responsibility is supported by the development of overall GEC standards for the management of operationalrisk in the following areas:

• requirements for appropriate segregation of duties, including the independent authorisation of transactions;• requirements for the reconciliation and monitoring of transactions;

compliance with legal requirements;documentation of controls and procedures;

• requirements for the periodic assessment of operational risks faced, and the adequacy of controls and procedures toaddress the risks identified;• training and professional development;• ethical and business standards.

Compliance with the Company and Group standards is supported by a programme of periodic reviews to ensurecompliance with GEC Group risk management policies.

Related partiesThe related party transactions have seen a decrease in loans and advances to related parties by 16% and an increaseof 40% in loans and advances from related parties. The large increase in loans and advances from related parties isdue to increased cashpool borrowings used to fl.md interest settlements on medium term notes. interest rate swapsand cross currency swaps.

Robert Holmes and F ergal Mullin were appointed as Directors of the Company effective 1 February 2018.

Columba Glavin and Kieran Tracev resigned as Directors of the Company effective 30 March 201$.

The Directors in place at period end were: Timothy Lane, Robert Holmes, Fergal Mullin, Thomas Geary(non-executive) and Michael Power (non-exectitive).

DividendsThe Directors do not propose a dividend for the current period (30 June 2017: SNI1)

Audit committeeThe Group’s ultimate parent, GEC, is a regulated entity that must meet certain requirements in accordance with itsNew York Stock Exchange listing. As a result, the GEC Group has internal audit and finance functions withresponsibility for, amongst other things, the monitoring of the effectiveness of the GEC Group’s systems of internalcontrol, internal audit and risk management. Nevertheless, the Directors having considered the matter, on 15 March2017, an audit committee was established and Kieran Tracey, Thomas Geary and Michael Power were appointed.Thomas Geary and Michael Power are non-executive Directors. On 30 March 201 8, Kieran Tracey resigned fromthe audit committee and Robert Holmes was appointed.

Subsequent eventsOn 9 August 201 $ and 3 1 August 2018, the credit spreads on the existing EUR 1 .1 billion revolving facility toGECIHL and USD 21 billion revolving facility to GEFF were amended effective 1 January 2018. These changes incredit spreads have been reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

On 31 August 2018. the facility amount of the USD 21 billion facility to GE financial funding Unlimited Company(‘GEFF) was reduced to USD 12 billion.

No other significant events affecting the Group occurred since the reporting date, which require adjustment to ordisclosure in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with the financial Reporting Council’s InternationalStandard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410 ‘Review ofInterim financialh/u,nation Peijàrmed by the Independent Auditor oft/ic Entity’. A review of interim financialinformation consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial andaccounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review issubstantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards onActditing (Ireland) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we wouldbecome aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we donot express an audit opinion.

We read the other information contained in the half-yearly financial report to identify materialinconsistencies with the information in the condensed set of consolidated financial statements andto identify any information that is apparently materially incorrect based on, or materiallyinconsistent with, the knowledge acquired by us in the course of performing the review. If webecome aware of any apparent material misstatements or inconsistencies we consider theimplications for our report.

Notesfor the half year ended 30 June 2018

Reporting entity

GE Capital European funding Unlimited Company is an Irish incorporated, public unlimited company and is Irishtax resident. The unaudited consolidated condensed interim financial statements of the Company as at and for the sixmonths ended 30 June 201$ comprise the Company, its Partnership and its Subsidiary (together referred to as theGroup and individually as Grotip entities). The Group is primarily involved in obtaining financing in the capitalmarkets to fund the operations of the wider GEC Group.

2 Basis of preparation

(a) Statement of compliance

The unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance withInternational Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting, as adopted by the European Union (“EU”).Selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding ofthe changes in financial position and performance of the Group since the last annual consolidated financialstatements as at and for the year ended 3 1 December 201 7, which were prepared in accordance with InternationalFinancial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as adopted by the EU, and interpretations adopted by the InternationalAccounting Standards Board (“IASB”), and under the requirements of Irish Company Latv. The condensed interimfinancial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2018 are unaudited, but have been reviewed by the auditorwhose report is set out on pages 6 and 7. The financial information presented herein for the year to 31 December2017 does not amount to statutory financial statements that are required by Irish Company Law to be annexed to theannual return of the Company. The statutory financial statements for the year ended 3 1 December 201 7 wereannexed to the annual return and filed with the Registrar of Companies. The audit report on those statutory financialstatements was unqualified and did not contain any matters to which attention was drawn by way of emphasis.

(b) Judgements and estimates

Preparing the interim financial report requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions thataffect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense.

In preparing these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, significant judgements made bymanagement in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were thesame as those applied to the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2017,except for new significant judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty related to the application of IFRS 9as described in Note 3.

3 Significant accounting policies

Except as described below, the same accounting policies, presentation and methods of computation have beenfollowed in these unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements as were applied in the preparation of theGroup’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017.

The changes in accounting policies are also expected to be reflected in the Company and Group’s financialstatements for the year ending 31 December 201$.

3 Significant accounting policies (continued)

The Group has initially adopted IfRS 15 Revenuefrom Contracts with Customers and IFRS 9 Financial Instrumentsfrom 1 January 201$. The adoption of IFRS 15 does not have a material impact on the Group’s financial statement. Anumber of other new standards are effective from 1 January 2018 but they do not have a material effect on theGroup’s financial statements.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments

IfRS 9 sets out the requirements for recognising and measuring financial assets and financial liabilities. It replaceslAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.

The following table summarises the impact, net of tax, of transition to IfR$ 9 on the opening balance of reserves,retained earnings and non-controlling interests (‘Nd’) (for a description of the transition method, see (iv) below)

The details of new significant accounting policies and the nature and effect of the changes to previous accountingpolicies are set out below.

i) ClassifIcation and measurement offinancial assets andfinancial liabilities

The adoption of IfRS 9 has not had a significant effect on the Groups’ accounting policies related to classificationand measurement of financial assets and liabilities and derivative financial instruments.

A Financial asset is measured at arnortised cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated asat fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL);

- it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and- its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest onthe principal amount outstanding.

A debt investment is measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (fVOCI) if it meets both of thefollowing conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL;

The effect of adopting IfRS 9 on the carrying value of financial assets at 1 January 201$ relates solely to the newimpairment requirements, as further described below.

10 Impairment

IFRS 9 replaces the ‘incurred loss’ model in lAS 39 with an ‘expected credit loss’ (ECL) model. The newimpairment model applies to the Groups’ financial assets measured at amortised cost.

Under IFRS 9, loss allowances are measured on either of the following bases:

• 12 month ECLs: these are ECLs that result from possible default events within the 12 months after the reportingdate; and

• lifetime ECLs: these are the ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financialinstrument.

The Group measures loss allowances for loans and advances to GEC affiliates measured at amortised cost as12-month ECLs.

The Group considers a loan to be in default when any of the follow occur:• default in the payment of any principal amount when due;• default in the payment of interest or Commitment Fees where such payment has become due, and either (A) theLender has by written notice demanded such payment, and such payment has not been made within 5 Business Daysafter the date of such written notice or (B) unless otherwise agreed in writing between the Lender and the Borrower,365 days after the date on which such payment of interest or Commitment Fees has become due if the Borrower hasnot made all payments then dtie to the Lender under the terms of the loan agreement;• default in the compliance with any representation or other agreement of the Borrower, which default is notremedied within 30 Business Days after receipt of notice thereof from the Lender;• default in respect of any other borrowing of the Borrower in an amount of $500,000 or more that results inacceleration thereof or default in the payment of such other borrowing when due; or• bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar proceedings are instituted by or against theBorrower, and, if instituted against the Borrower, are not vacated within 60 calendar days, or any receiver, trustee,custodian, administrative receiver or similar officer is appointed in respect of the Borrower for all or any materialportion of the Borrower’s assets (or an application for such appointment is made), or the Borrower makes anassignment for the benefit of creditors, or the Borrower is unable to pay its debts generally as they become due andadmits expressly such inability in writing.

GE Capital European Funding Unlimited Company

Notesfor the half-i’ear ended 30 Jt,ne 2018 (continued)

3 Significant accounting policies (continued)

When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since the initial recognitionwhen estimating ECLs, the Group considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and availablewithout undue cost or effort.

The Group considers a debt security to have a low credit risk when its credit risk rating is equivalent to the globallyunderstood definition of ‘investment grade’. The Group considers this to be BBB- or higher as per Standard andPoor’s (S&P) rating scale.

The Group assumes that the following trigger a review to determine a significant increase in credit risk on afinancial asset: if it is more than 30 days past due or if the credit risk rating moves out of investment grade or movesby more than 4 notches within investment grade.

Measurement ofECLs

ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value ofcashflows.

ECLs are discounted as the effective interest rate of the financial asset.

Note 15 provides further detail of how expected credit losses are measured.

Credit impairedfinancial assets

At each reporting date, the Group assess whether financial assets carried at amortised cost are credit impaired. Loansand advances are ‘credit impaired’ when the Group determines that there is objective evidence of impairment and itdoes not expect to collect all principal and interest due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement(s).

Evidence that financial assets are impaired can include default or delinquency by a borrower, restructuring of a loanor advance by Group on terms that the Group would not otherwise consider, indications that a borrower or issuerwill enter bankruptcy, the disappearance of an active market for a security, or other observable data relating to agroup of assets such as adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers or issuers in the Group, or economicconditions that correlate with defaults in the Group.

Presentation of impairment

Impairment losses on financial assets measured at amortised cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of theassets and presented separately in the statement of comprehensive income.

Impact ofthe izew impairment in ode!

The Group has determined that the application of IFRS 9’s impairment requirements at I January 2018 results in animpairment allowance as follows:

Loss allowance at 1 January 201$ under IFRS 9 13,218

The loss allowance on initial application of IFRS 9 has been recognised directly in retained earnings in the statementof financial position.

(110 Hedge accounting

The Group has elected the option to defer the adoption of the new general hedge accounting model in IfRS 9 andwill continue to apply lAS 39.

iv) Transition

The Group has taken an exemption not to restate comparative information for prior periods with respect toclassification and measurement (including impairment) requirements. The Group assessed that loan and advances toGEC affiliates had low credit risk at date of initial application and determined that the credit risk on the financialassets has not significantly increase since initial application.

Basis of ConsolidationThe Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company as at and for the period ended 30 June 2018 include theCompany, the Partnership and the Subsidiary (together referred to as the “Group” and individually as “Groupentities”).

The unaudited condensed financial statements of the Group have been prepared under the historical cost convention,except that debt securities in qualifying hedging relationships and derivative financial instruments are measured atfair value.

Financial risk factorsThe Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: foreign exchange risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk,market risk, credit risk and other price risk.

The consolidated condensed interim financial statements do not include all financial risk information and disclosuresrequired in the annual financial statements; they should be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual financialstatements as at 3 1 December 2017. There have been no significant changes in the risk management department orin any risk management policies since the year end.

3 Significant accounting policies (continued)

Fair value estimationThe Group’s derivatives are carried at fair value and are classified as Level 2. The different levels have been definedas follows:

• Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.• Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, eitherdirectly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).• Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Standards and interpretations not yet adoptedA number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have been issued but are not yet effectiveand have not been applied in preparing these unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements. These are setout below:

Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflectchanges in market conditions, products and services offered. The Group, through their training and managementstandards and procedures, aim to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment, in which allemployees understand their roles and obligations.

The Directors are responsible for monitoring compliance with the Group’s risk management policies andprocedures, and for reviewing the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by theGroup. The Directors are assisted in these functions by GE Corporate Audit Staff and Internal Audit.

(a) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails tomeet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s loans and advances to GEC affiliates. forrisk management reporting purposes the Group considers and consolidates all elements of credit risk exposure (suchas individual obligor risk, default risk and country risk). The Directors monitor performance of borrowers andcontinually assess recoverability of loans (see points below). All loans and advances made by the Group are withGEC affiliates. All loans are uncollateralized.

Management ofcredit riskThe Directors are responsible for the oversight of the Group’s credit risk in line with the overall GEC riskframework, including:

• following GEC credit policies covering credit assessment, risk grading and reporting, documentary and legalprocedures, and compliance with regulatory and statutory requirements;• Establishing the authorization structure for the approval and renewal of credit facilities;• Reviewing and assessing credit risk. The Directors assess all credit exposures prior to facilities being committed,and these facilities are subject to periodic review based on the overall risk associated as determined by Management.

for each quarterly review, a comprehensive due diligence is carried out on each borrower.

At 30 June 2018 the total carrying amount of lending exposed to credit risk in the Group amounted to 517,597million (31 December 2017: 820,993 million).

As at 30 June 2018, the loans and advances to GECIRL was 8% (31 Dece,nber 2017: 7%) of the total loan portfoliofor the Group. As at 30 June 201 8. the loans and advances to GEFF was 64% (31 Decenther 2017: 70%) of the totalloan portfolio for the Group. The Directors monitor the performance of GEC affiliates to assess the recoverability ofthe loans in line with the overall GEC risk framework. As at 30 June 2018, the Directors consider none of the loansand advances to be either past due or individually impaired. Impairment loss provisions recognised as a result ofadoption of IFRS 9 on 1 January 2018 are discussed further in this note and in Note 3.

Other assets are comprised of management fees receivable from GEC affiliates and other accruals. Cash and cashequivalents are held with financial institutions rated from A to A+ by Standard and Poor at the period end as perNote 11.

15 Financial risk management (continued)

Loans with renegotiated termsLoans with renegotiated terms are loans that have been restructured due to the deterioration of the borrower’sfinancial position. No loans on the Consolidated Condensed Statement of Financial Position - Unaudited as at 30June 2018 were renegotiated during the period (3] December2017: SN11,).

Allowances for impairmentThe Group establishes an allowance for impairment based on the ECL model as required by IfRS 9.

IFRS 9 outlines at ‘three-stage’ model for impairment based on changes in credit quality since initial recognition assummarised below:

• A financial asset that is not credit-impaired on initial recognition is classified in ‘Stage 1’• If a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition is identified, the financial asset is moved to ‘Stage 2’but is not yet determined to be credit-impaired. Please refer to note 3 for how the Group defines a significantincrease in credit risk.

If the financial asset is credit-impaired it is moved to ‘Stage 3’. Please refer to note 3 for a description of how theGroup defines credit-impaired and default.• Financial instruments in Stage I have their ECLs measured at an amount equal to the portion of lifetime expectedcredit losses that result from default events possible in the next 12 months. instruments in Stages 2 or 3 have theirECL measured based on expected credit losses on a lifetime basis.

it is considered that all loans and advances are Stage 1, as all loans are to GEC affiliates comprise of interest andprincipal and are paid in a timely maimer as per the terms of the loan agreements and there has been no significantincrease in credit risk in the period. No previous impairments have been recognised in respect of the borrowersimder lAS 39 and there is no history of default.

Measuring EC’L - explanation of inputs, assumptions and estimation techniques:The ECL is measured on either a 12-month or Lifetime basis depending on whether a significant increase in creditrisk has occurred since initial recognition or whether an asset is considered to be credit-impaired. ECLs are thediscounted prodtict of Probability of Default (PD), Exposure at Default (EAD) and Loss Given Default (LGD),defined as follows:

• The PD represents the likelihood of a borrower defaulting on its financial obligation either in the next 12 months orthe remaining lifetime of the obligation. The PD for the Group is considered low as all loans are to GEC affiliates.S&Ps ‘Credit Model’ is used to assign a rating to internal GEC entities. This model produces outputs on the S&Prating scale. Reviewing S&P’s model documents confirms that the “Credit Model” rating output maps directly to theS&P scale. Since the S&P rating is the industry reference, this is also used to set the GE Obligor Rating (OR) scalewhich was directly mapped to the S&P scale, which in turn assigns a PD.

15 Financial risk management (continued)

EAD is based on the amounts the Group expects to be owed at the time of default. For revolving credit agreements(RCAs), the Group includes the current drawn balance plus any further amount that is expected to be drawn up tothe current contractual limit by the time of default, should it occur.• LGD is assumed to be 60%. for GE intercompany loans, given the fact that all these loans are senior unsecured, anexternal benchmark is leveraged for the LGD assumption. According to Moody’s Corporate Default and Recoverydataset. the LGD of 60% is estimated based on the summary statistics from US Corporate Senior Unsecured Bondspopulation.• The discount rate used in the ECL calculation is determined to be the original effective interest rate on the loan(market rate of interest).

The following table provides information about exposure to credit risk and ECLs as at 30 June 2018:

The increase in loss allowance is mainly attributable to the change in S&P rating of the borrowers from BBB+ at 3 1December 2017 to BBB at 30 June 2018.

fair value adjustment for credit riskThe Group assesses the valuation adjustments required for credit risks associated with derivatives measured at fairvalue as at 30 June 2018. All derivatives are executed with GE financial Markets Unlimited Company (“GEFM”)and a credit valuation adjustment (“CVA”) is calculated to reflect the credit risk of GEFM. A debit valuationadjustment (“DVA”) is calculated to reflect the credit risk of the Group with the bilateral adjustment recorded in thei-neasurement of the derivatives in the Interim financial Report. As at 30 June 201$ the bilateral adjustment for theGroup amounted to $0.6 million (31 December 2017: Credit of $5 million,) which has been recorded as a credit tothe ‘Net expense from financial instruments carried at fair value” in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

(b) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations from its financial liabilities.

Management of liquidity risk

The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficientliquidity to ineet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptablelosses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation.

As a result of the GE Capital restructuring it is anticipated that there will be no requirement for the Group to issuenew long term debt for the foreseeable future with the expectation that the current MTN portfolio remains untilmaturity. The CP programme continues presently albeit no CP is in issue at period end. The Group has access to thecash pool should it be required.

The Group’s intermediate parent GECIHL has guaranteed that it will meet the liabilities of the CP and MTNprogrammes should the Group be unable to meet these liabilities. As of 10 April 2015, GEC, rated A, has alsoguaranteed the CP and MTN programmes of the Group thus reducing further the risk to any potentia1 investor andsupporting the CP and MTN programmes. As part of the Group’s processes, management monitor the ratings ofGEC.

GEC receives information from other business units regarding the liquidity profile of their financial assets andliabilities and details of other projected cash flows arising from projected future business. The repayment tenus ofdebt securities are outlined in Note 18. The Group has loans and advances to GEC affiliates net of impaiment lossprovisions of $17,597 million (3] December 2017: $20,993 million,). At period end, 8% of Group lending was toGECIHL and 64% of Group lending was to GEFF. GEC maintains a portfolio of short-term liquid investmentsecurities, loans and advances to banks and other inter-bank facilities, to ensure that sufficient liquidity ismaintained within the Group. The Group also have access to short term liquidity through their access to the GEEuropean Cashpool operated by GE Capital European Treasury Services Ireland Unlimited Company (‘GECETS’).The Directors with the assistance of GEC monitor the on-going liquidity requirements of the Group, and by way ofshort-term loans from GEC to cover any short-term fluctuations and obtain longer term funding to address anystructural liquidity requirements. The overall group daily liquidity position is monitored by GEC.

The Group held derivative assets for qualifying hedging relationships purposes of $146 million (31 December 2017:$216 million) and derivative assets for trading purposes of $54 million at 30 June 2018 (31 December 2017: 8361million). The Group held derivative liabilities for quali’ing hedging relationships purposes of SNil (‘3] December2017: $Nil] and derivative liabilities for trading purposes of $230 million at 30 June 2018(31 Decenther 2017:SN11). The derivative assets and liabilities have been split between qualifying hedging relationships and held fortrading, disclosing separately those derivatives that qualify as hedged under 1AS39 from those that do not. Duringthe period, no fixed rate debt failed hedge effectiveness. Fixed rate debt which failed hedge effectiveness in the priorperiod (2017: $3 Billion ) and has not yet matured is held at amortised cost and is no longer in qualifying hedgingrelationships at the period end. The corresponding derivatives are also held for trading as at the period end.

Notesfor the halfyear ended 30 June 2018 (‘continued)

15 Financial risk management (continued)

The previous table shows the undiscounted cash flows on the Group’s financial liabilities and unrecognised loancommitments on the basis of their earliest possible contractual maturity. The Group’s expected cash flows on theseinstruments may vary significantly from this analysis. For example, undrawn loan commitments are not all expectedto be drawn down immediately, but upon draw down would have contractual maturity not greater than 4 years.

Residual contractual maturities of financial liabilities

The gross nominal inflow/(outflow) disclosed in the previous table is the contractual, undiscounted cash flow on thefinancial liability or commitment. The disclosure for derivatives shows a net amount for derivatives that are netsettled, and a gross inflow and outflow amount for derivatives that have simultaneous gross settlement.

To manage the liquidity risk arising from financial liabilities, the Group holds liquid assets comprising cash andcash equivalents and is linked to the GECETS cashpool. Hence, the Group believes that it is not necessary todisclose a maturity analysis in respect of these assets to enable users to evaluate the nature and extent of liquidityrisk. The cash balances pool with another GEC affiliate nightly, is payable on demand and is recorded under loansand advances from GEC affiliates and/or loans and advances to GEC affiliates depending on whether the cash hasbeen borrowed from or lent to the cashpool.

(c) Market risks

Exposure to foreign currency riskThe principal market risk faced by the Group relates to currency risk as almost all borrowing and lending is in Eurowhile the functional currency is USD. The following table sets out the Groups non-USD monetary assets andliabilities at 30 June 201$ and 31 December 2017 and the net exposure in original currency and USD of thosemonetary assets and liabilities.

Notesfor the half year ended 30 June 2018 (continued)

15 Financial risk management (continued)

Since August 2016, through the use of cross currency derivatives, the Company is able to reduce currency exposure.A 1% appreciationldepreciation in the EUR!USD exchange rate as at 30 June 2018 would give rise to approximatelya $11 million loss/profit based on the net exposure at 30 June 2018 (2017: A 1% appreciation/depreciation in theEUR/USD exchange rate as at 31 December 2017 would give rise to approximately a $11 million loss/prqjIt basedon the net exposure at 31 Decenther 20] 7,).

Exposure to interest rate riskThe Group has exposure to interest rates. This is mitigated by entering into interest rate swaps to match the maturityof assets and liabilities held by the Group.

Portfolios are exposed to the risks associated with fixed rate liabilities versus floating rate receivables, the loss fromfluctuations in the future cash flows and fair values of financial instruments because of a change in market interestrates. Interest rate risk is managed principally through monitoring interest rate gaps and the Directors are responsiblefor monitoring such interest rate gaps.

The interest rate on floating rate assets and liabilities are reset quarterly from the initial date of funding. Thereforemovements in the benchmark interest rate during the quarter can give rise to a mismatch between interest expenseand income. The effect on the group of a 0.5% increase in the benchmark rate for a full year could give rise toadditional profit of approximately 514 million (3] December2017: $15 million,). A decrease of 0.5% would have anequal and opposite effect.

(d) Other price riskOther price risk is the risk that the fair value of the financial instruments will fluctuate as a result of changes inmarket prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk), whether caused by factors specific toan individual instrument, its issuer or factors affecting all instruments traded in the market.

The Directors consider the impact of other price risk to be low.

The process for monitoring and measuring this risk is unchanged from year end.

One GEC affiliate, GECIHL, engaged in financial services and incorporated in the United Kingdom (‘UK”)accounted for 0% of Group revenue ‘2017: 21%). One GEC affiliate, GEFF. engaged in financial services andincorporated in Ireland accounted for 76% of Group revenue (2017: 76%).

In addition to the above, the Group had entered into lending commitments of 59,825 million (31 December 2017:$6,541 million,) with 100% owned GEC affiliates.
