Segment and Interim Reporting
Electronic Presentation by Douglas Cloud Pepperdine University

2. The “Management Approach”
FASB 131 specified the Management Approach to the definition of segments.
Revenue, profits or losses, and assets for each segment are defined by the management as used for internal decision making purposes.
Operating segments can be product lines, geographical areas, service lines of business, or other segments of the entity determined by management.
The segment reporting footnote presents information on operating segments in the same manner as used for internal decision making.

3. FASB 131 Defines an Operating Segment
as a component of an enterprise--
That engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same enterprise).
Whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the enterprise’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance.
For which discrete financial information is available.

4. The FASB specified three 10
Ten Percent Quantitative Thresholds
The FASB specified three 10
percent significance rules. Separate disclosures are required if an operating segment meets at least one of the tests on Slides 5 and 6.
What is the 10 percent significance rule concerning segment disclosure?

5. Ten Percent Quantitative Thresholds
Its reported revenue, including both sales to external customers and intersegment sales or transfers, is 10 percent or more of the combined revenue, internal and external, of all operating segments,
The absolute amount of its reported profit or loss is 10 percent or more of the greater, in absolute amount, of (a) the combined reported profit of all operating segments that reported a profit or (b) the combined reported loss of all segments that reported a loss.
Continued

6. Ten Percent Quantitative Thresholds
Its assets are 10 percent or more of the combined assets of all operating segments.

7. The equity method is used to account for the Barclay investment.
Illustration of 10 Percent Tests
Peerless owns 80 percent of Special Foods’ common stock. Special Foods reports a profit of $50,000 for 20X1 and pays dividends of $3,000. The December 31, 20X1, balances in Special Foods’ stockholders’ equity accounts total $300,000, of which the noncontrolling interest is 20 percent.
The equity method is used to account for the Barclay investment.
Peerless acquires 40 percent of Barclay Company stock on January 1, 20X1, for a cost of $160,000, which is equal to the book value of the stock on that date. Barclay Company earns $80,000 in profit during 20X1 and pays $20,000 in dividends.

11. Items comprising each segment’s assets are defined by management.
Asset Test
Items comprising each segment’s assets are defined by management.

12. Seventy-Five Percent Revenue Test
Sales to unaffiliated customer by
reportable segments:
Food Products $317,000
Plastic and Packaging 95,000
Health and Science 86,000
Total of reportable segments $498,000
Consolidated revenue 572,000
Reportable segments’ percentage of
consolidated revenue 87.1%
$498,000  $572,000
Because this percentage if equal to or greater than 75 percent, no further operating segments must be separately reported.

13. Reporting Segment Information
FASB 131 states that the following must be disclosed for each segment determined to be separately reportable.

14. Reporting Segment Information
General information about (a) the factors used to identify the entity’s reportable segments, including the basis organization, and (b) types of products and services from which each reportable segment obtains its revenue.
Information about the reported profit or loss, including specified revenues and expenses included in reported segment profit or loss, segment assets, and the basis of measurement used to determine profits.
Continued

15. Reporting Segment Information
Information on the following if these items are included in the determination of segment assets: (a) the amount of investment in equity method investees and (b) the total expenditures for additions to long-term productive assets.
Reconciliations of the total reportable segments’ revenues, measures of segment profit or loss, and segments’ assets to the related consolidated totals for those items.

16. Enterprisewide Disclosures
Information about Products and Services
The company is required to report the revenues from external customers for each product and service, or each group of similar products and services, unless it is impractical.

17. Enterprisewide Disclosures
Information about Geographic Areas
Revenues from external customers attributed to home country of domicile and from external customers attributed to foreign countries.
Long-lived productive assets located in the entity’s home country and the total assets located in all foreign in which the entity holds assets.
Revenues from, and long-term productive assets in, any individual country, if material, must be separately disclosed

18. Enterprisewide Disclosures
Information about Major Customers
First issue is how to define an individual customer.
For applying the disclosure test, any single customer, the federal government, a state government, a local government, or a foreign government is considered to be an individual customer.
Materiality is not defined by FASB 131, but the 10 percent guideline seems to have gained the support of practice.

20. Interim Reports Generally Contain--
An income statement for the most recent quarter of the current fiscal period and a comparative income statement for the same quarter for the prior fiscal year.
Income statements for the cumulative year-to-date time period and for the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.
A condensed balance sheet at the end of the current quarter and a condensed balance sheet at the end of the prior fiscal year.
Continued

21. Interim Reports Generally Contain--
A statement of cash flows as of the end of the current cumulative year-to-date period, and for the same time span for the prior year.
Footnotes that update those in the last annual report.
A report by management analyzing and discussing the results for the latest interim period.

22. Practical Modifications for Determining Interim Income
Estimated gross profit rates may be used to determine an interim period’s cost of goods sold.
Companies using lifo inventory valuation may experience a temporary liquidation of lifo-base inventories that should be charged to cost of goods sold at expected replacement cost. Such temporary reductions of inventories expected to be replaced by the end of the fiscal year should not be expensed through cost of goods sold at historical cost.

23. Practical Modifications for Determining Interim Income
Inventory losses due to an apparent permanent decline in market price are recognized in the period of decline using the lower-of-cost-or-market valuation method. Recoveries of market prices in later interim periods of the same fiscal year should be recognized up to the original cost.
Companies using a standard cost system for inventories should use the same procedure for computing and reporting variances in an interim period as used for the fiscal year.

24. Temporary Lifo Liquidation
During the third quarter of its fiscal year, Special Foods Inc. experienced a temporary liquidation of 2,000 units in its lifo base owing to seasonal fluctuations. The lifo unit cost is $25. The liquidation is normal, and the company plans to replace the liquidation inventory during the early part of the fourth quarter. The estimated replacement cost is $35.

26. Market Write-Down and Recovery
No additional purchases are made during the year. The sales and market value at the end of each quarter are as follows:
At the beginning of its fiscal year, Peerless Products Corporation has 10,000 units of inventory on hand with a fifo cost of $10 each.
Units Sold Unit Market Values
Quarter Goods Sold at End of Quarter
1 2,000 $ 7
2 2,

27. Market Write-Down and Recovery
Beginning inventory is 10,000 units. Each quarter 2,000 units are sold.
Ending Inventory Cost of

Qtr Goods Sold or (Loss Recovery) Total

29. When an Expenditure May Be Deferred
1. Some costs such as major machinery repairs are expensed for annual reporting purposes but clearly benefit more than one interim period; therefore, the cost should be allocated to the benefited periods.
2. Quantity discounts offered to customers based on annual sales should be estimated and charged to sales during each of the interim periods.
3. Property taxes should be deferred or accrued to ensure an appropriate allocation to each interim period.
4. Major advertising costs may be deferred in the period incurred and allocated to the other interim periods that benefit.
