So you disclose if a segment gives you >=10% op proit/ >=10% revenue… and something else You need to disclose: EBIT Carrying cost of assets Cost of PP+E Depreciation Extraordinary/Unusual Items Share of profit/loss from Segments’s Equity Investments Income tax What have I misssed?

FAS 131 - from their website (http://www.fasb.org/pdf/fas131.pdf) note c - mofo 18. An enterprise shall report separately information about an operating segment that meets any of the following quantitative thresholds: a. 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 reported operating segments. b. The absolute amount of its reported profit or loss is 10 percent or more of the greater, in absolute amount, of (1) the combined reported profit of all operating segments that did not report a loss or (2) the combined reported loss of all operating segments that did report a loss. c. Its assets are 10 percent or more of the combined assets of all operating segments. remember, this is an exam in academia, not the real world. What your senior analyst says may not go on this exam.
