2. An entity recently has acquired a new brand from a competitor company. The brand qualifies as
a component of an entity and represents a major line of business for which discrete financial
information is available. This operating segment does not meet any of the threshold criteria for a
reportable segment. Furthermore, this segment is unique and does not share similar
characteristics with the other operating segments of the entity. Which of the following
statements is correct?
a. The entity can disclose this new segment separately if it is a distinguishable component and
is used by management in internal reporting even though it does not meet the PFRS criteria.

discourages voluntary disclosure of operating segments. Operating segments are reportable
only if they either result from aggregation or qualify under any of the quantitative
thresholds.
c. The entity can disclose this new segment separately only if it can be aggregated with another
operating segment and the combined segment qualifies in all of the quantitative thresholds.

operating segment and the combined segment qualifies in any of the quantitative thresholds.
