(e) Net of reinsurance of $840 million and $292 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Assets and liabilities not carried at fair value in our Statement of Financial Position are discussed below. Apart from certain of our borrowings and certain marketable securities, few of the instru- ments discussed below are actively traded and their fair values must often be determined using financial models. Realization of the fair value of these instruments depends upon market forces beyond our control, including marketplace liquidity. Therefore, the disclosed fair values may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflect future fair values. A description of how we estimate fair values follows. Loans Based on quoted market prices, recent transactions and/or dis- counted future cash flows, using rates at which similar loans would have been made to similar borrowers. Borrowings Based on discounted future cash flows using current market rates which are comparable to market quotes. Investment contract benefits Based on expected future cash flows, discounted at currently offered rates for immediate annuity contracts or cash surrender values for single premium deferred annuities. All other instruments Based on comparable market transactions, discounted future cash flows, quoted market prices, and/or estimates of the cost to terminate or otherwise settle obligations. The fair values of our cost method investments that are not exchange traded rep- resent our best estimates of amounts we could have received other than on a forced or liquidation basis. Assets and liabilities that are reflected in the accompanying financial statements at fair value are not included in the above disclosures such items include cash and equivalents, investment securities and derivative fi nancial instruments. Additional information about certain categories in the table above follows. Residential mortgages Residential mortgage products amounting to $13,325 million (23% of all residential mortgages) and $12,633 million (27% of all residential mortgages) at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, were either high loan-to-value, those permitting interest-only payments or those with below market introductory rates. We orig- inate such loans either for our portfolio or for sale in secondary markets. The portfolio was geographically diverse, with Europe and North America the most significant market segments. ge 2006 annual report 101
