$2,328 million, respectively.<br />

(12) Derivative contracts<br />

Derivative contracts have been entered into primarily by our finance and financial products and our energy businesses.<br />

Substantially all of the derivative contracts of our finance and financial products businesses are not designated as hedges for<br />

financial reporting purposes. Changes in the fair values of such contracts are reported in earnings as derivative gains/losses. We<br />

entered into these contracts with the expectation that the premiums received would exceed the amounts ultimately paid to<br />

counterparties. A summary of derivative contracts of our finance and financial products businesses follows (in millions).<br />

(1) Represents the aggregate undiscounted amount payable at the contract expiration dates assuming that the value of each<br />

index is zero at each contract’s expiration date.<br />

and the residual value of the specified obligations is zero.<br />

Derivative gains/losses of our finance and financial products businesses included in our Consolidated Statements of<br />

$2,608 $1,963 $(2,104)<br />

We have written no new equity index put option contracts since February 2008. The currently outstanding contracts are<br />

European style options written on four major equity indexes. Future payments, if any, under any given contract will be required<br />

if the underlying index value is below the strike price at the contract expiration date. We received the premiums on these<br />

contracts in full at the contract inception dates and therefore have no counterparty credit risk.<br />
