FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

                  GE COMPLETES ACQUISITION OF INTERLOGIX, INC.

FEBRUARY 21, 2002 - PLAINVILLE, CT - GE Industrial Systems, a division of
General Electric Company (NYSE: GE), announced today the completion of the
acquisition of Interlogix, Inc., the global electronic security company based in
Austin, TX. GE acquired approximately 95% of the Interlogix shares tendered in
the offer, and, on Thursday, February 21, 2002, Interlogix was merged into a
wholly-owned subsidiary of GE. Each remaining Interlogix share was converted
into the right to receive $19.43 in cash and 0.5174 of a share of GE common
stock for each share of common stock of Interlogix.

The business is now known as GE Interlogix, Inc. Ken Boyda, president and CEO of
Interlogix will continue in that role for the new entity, reporting to Lloyd G.
Trotter, president and CEO of GE Industrial Systems.

"With this acquisition, GE acquires a strong global company that will provide us
with leading-edge technology in the exciting security arena, offering us an
attractive new platform to enhance our continued growth. These innovative
technologies will be particularly important as the demand for security products
and systems continues to increase," said Trotter. "These products offer an
exciting complement to many of the industrial components already manufactured by
our business, and will allow us to better serve our customers with a broader,
more diversified portfolio of products, systems and services to meet their
needs."

Interlogix is comprised of three principal divisions:

o     Security and Lifesafety: A global provider of wired and wireless intrusion
      and fire protection components and systems.



o     Enterprise Technologies: Leading edge systems for digital surveillance and
      video image storage / retrieval. The company has the capability to
      integrate all surveillance and access control functionality into a single
      enterprise wide system for global companies.

o     Key Management: A supplier of products and services for multiple remote
      site entry, mobile access and information management and asset tracking /
      control.

GE Interlogix has over 35 locations in the United States, Australia, Belgium,
United Kingdom, Poland, Italy, Ireland, Germany, France, the Netherlands, South
Africa, Czechoslovakia, Sweden, and Spain.

Boyda commented, "GE Interlogix will create a dynamic force within the global
security products and services industry. By combining our solution-driven
product offering and leading-edge technology platforms with GE Industrial
Systems' core products and services, customers will now have access to a
broader, more diversified product portfolio. We are excited to be part of a
