Gas and BHI. For GE Oil & Gas, the estimates are based
on
internal performance measures as described below. For BHI,
the estimates are based on BHI's reported earnings as
described below. GE Oil & Gas oRevenue and Segment Profit
represent reported amounts disclosed as industrial operating
segment results within General Electric Company's annual and
quarterly SEC filings, which are prepared in conformity with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Such
information has been preparedsolely for purposes of
consolidation by GE, and not for stand-alone financial
reporting purposes. oSegment revenues include revenues and
other income related to the segment. Segment profit is
determined based on internal performance measures used by

of each business in a given period. In connection with that
assessment, theCEO may exclude matters such as charges for
restructuring; rationalization and other similar expenses;
acquisition costs and other related charges; technology and
product development costs; certain gains and losses from
acquisitions or dispositions; and litigation settlements or
other charges, for which responsibility preceded the current
management team. Intercompany transactions are reflected in
Revenue and Segment Profit on the basis of GE policies and
procedures.
oSegment profit excludes the portion of earnings or loss
attributable to non-controlling interests of
consolidated subsidiaries, and as such only includes the
portion of earnings or loss attributable to our share
of the consolidated earnings or loss of consolidated
subsidiaries. Segment profit also excludes interest and
other financial charges and income taxes. For purposes of
this presentation, segment profit may also be
referred to as EBIT. Certain GE corporate costs, such
asshared services, employee benefits and information
technology are allocated to our segments based on usage.
A portion of the remaining corporate costs is
allocated based on each segment's relative net cost of
operations.
