(a)       Based on year-end balances and year-end local currency effective interest rates, including the effects from hedging.

(b)       Included in total long-term borrowings were $481 million and $604 million of obligations to holders of GICs at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These obligations included conditions under which certain GIC holders could require immediate repayment of their investment should the long-term credit ratings of GECC fall below AA-/Aa3. Following the April 3, 2012 Moody's downgrade of GECC's long-term credit rating to A1, substantially all of these GICs became redeemable by their holders. In 2012, holders of $386 million in principal amount of GICs redeemed their holdings and GECC made related cash payments. The remaining outstanding GICs will continue to be subject to their scheduled maturities and individual terms, which may include provisions permitting redemption upon a downgrade of one or more of GECC's ratings, among other things.

(c)       Included $9,468 million and $9,757 million of funding secured by real estate, aircraft and other collateral at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, of which $2,868 million and $3,294 million is non-recourse to GECC at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

(d)       Included $300 million of subordinated notes guaranteed by GE at both December 31, 2013 and 2012.

(e)       Entirely variable denomination floating-rate demand notes.       

(f)       Subordinated debentures receive rating agency equity credit and were hedged at issuance to the U.S. dollar equivalent of $7,725 million.

(g)       Included at December 31, 2013 and 2012 were $9,047 million and $7,707 million of current portion of long-term borrowings, respectively, and $21,077 million and $22,416 million of long-term borrowings, respectively. See Note 23.

(h)       Included $13,614 million and $15,896 million of deposits in non-U.S. banks at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $18,275 million and $17,291 million of certificates of deposits with maturities greater than one year at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

 

On October 9, 2012, GE issued $7,000 million of notes comprising $2,000 million of 0.850% notes due 2015, $3,000 million of 2.700% notes due 2022 and $2,000 million of 4.125% notes due 2042. On February 1, 2013, we repaid $5,000 million of 5.0% GE senior unsecured notes.

Committed credit lines totaling $47.8 billion had been extended to us by 50 banks at year-end 2013. GECC can borrow up to $47.8 billion under all of these credit lines. GE can borrow up to $13.9 billion under certain of these credit lines. The GECC lines include $26.5 billion of revolving credit agreements under which we can borrow funds for periods exceeding one year. Additionally, $21.3 billion are 364-day lines that contain a term-out feature that allows GE or GECC to extend the borrowings for two years from the date on which such borrowings would otherwise be due.
