Notes to Condensed, Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1. The accompanying condensed, consolidated quarterly financial statements represent the consolidation of General Electric Capital Corporation and all of our affiliates (GECC) – companies that we directly or indirectly control (consolidated affiliates). We reclassified certain prior year amounts 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) that we considered necessary to present a fair statement of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows. The results reported in these condensed, consolidated quarterly financial statements should not be regarded as necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. We label our quarterly information using a calendar convention, that is, first quarter is consistently labeled as ending on March 31, second quarter as ending on June 30, and third quarter as ending on September 30. It is our longstanding practice to establish actual interim closing dates using a "fiscal" calendar, which requires our businesses to close their books on a Saturday in order to normalize the potentially disruptive effects of quarterly closings on business processes. The effects of this practice are modest and only exist within a reporting year. The fiscal closing calendar from 1993 through 2013 is available on our Web site, www.ge.com/en/company/investor/secreports.htm.
3. In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Financial Interpretation No. (FIN) 45, Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others. Among other things, the Interpretation requires guarantors to recognize, at fair value, their obligations to stand ready to perform under certain guarantees. FIN 45 became effective for guarantees issued or modified on or after January 1, 2003 and had an inconsequential effect on our financial position as of June 30, 2003 and results of operations for the second quarter and the first six months of 2003.
FIN 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities is effective for us on July 1, 2003. Based on the new criteria in the Interpretation, we will consolidate certain entities in our third quarter financial statements. While FIN 46 represents a significant change in accounting principles governing consolidation, it does not change the economic or legal characteristics of asset sales. Important considerations that differentiate FIN 46 entities from others included in our consolidated statements include the following:
We will consolidate approximately $36 billion of securitized assets at transition and approximately $15 billion of investment securities related to guaranteed investment contracts. Assets and liabilities in FIN 46 entities differ from other consolidated assets and liabilities, thus our future financial statements will distinguish assets and liabilities that are included solely as a result of FIN 46. Because we will not sell any additional assets to these consolidated FIN 46 entities, these balances will decrease as the assets mature. Our July 1, 2003, consolidation of FIN 46 entities resulted in a $0.4 billion after-tax charge that will be reported as an accounting change in our third quarter results.
(6)
4. The FASB's Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, generally became effective for us on January 1, 2002. Under SFAS 142, goodwill is no longer amortized but is tested for impairment using a fair value methodology. We stopped amortizing goodwill effective January 1, 2002.
Under SFAS 142, we were required to test all existing goodwill for impairment as of January 1, 2002, on a "reporting unit" basis. A reporting unit is the operating segment unless, at businesses one level below that operating segment (the "component" level), discrete financial information is prepared and regularly reviewed by management, in which case such component is the reporting unit.
A fair value approach is used to test goodwill for impairment. An impairment charge is recognized for the amount, if any, by which the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its fair value. We established fair values using discounted cash flows. When available and as appropriate, we use comparative market multiples to corroborate discounted cash flow results.
The result of testing goodwill impairment in accordance with SFAS 142, as of January 1, 2002, was a non-cash charge of $1,204 million ($1,015 million after tax), which is reported in the caption "Cumulative effect of accounting changes." Substantially all of the charge relates to the IT Solutions business and the GE Auto and Home business, a direct subsidiary of GE Financial Assurance. Factors contributing to the impairment charge were the difficult economic environment in the information technology sector and heightened price competition in the auto insurance industry. No impairment charge had been required under our previous goodwill impairment policy, which was based on undiscounted cash flows.

Amortization expense related to amortizable intangible assets for the second quarters ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, was $145 million and $431 million, respectively. Amortization expense related to amortizable intangible assets for the first six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, was $427 million and $689 million, respectively.

Amortization expense for PVFP in future periods will be affected by acquisitions, realized capital gains/losses and other factors affecting the ultimate amount of gross profits realized from certain lines of business. Similarly, future amortization expense for other intangibles will depend on acquisition activity and other business transactions.
