aggregating the closely related segments.

Information about Operating Segments
Other considerations
Exercising judgment in determining segments
Companies should separately report segments that
have been reported in prior years but fail the current
period’s significance tests because of abnormal
occurrences.
Companies need not separately report a segment that
has met a 10 percent test on a one-time basis only.
If a segment becomes reportable in the current
period but has not been reported separately in earlier
periods, the prior years’ comparative segment
disclosures, which are included in the current year’s
annual report, should be restated.

The measurement basis used in an interim
period should be the same as that used for the
full fiscal year.

manipulated to eliminate seasonal trends.

Reporting Standards for Interim Income
Statements
Cost of goods sold and inventory
General rule: Interim cost of goods sold should
be computed with the direct and allocated cost
elements on the same basis as used to compute
the annual cost of goods sold.
ASC 270 and ASC 740 does permit the following
practical modifications to this rule:
Use estimated gross profit rates
LIFO temporary liquidations
Lower-of-cost-or-market valuations
Standard cost systems
13-39
Reporting Standards for Interim Income
Statements
All other costs and expenses
General principle: Costs and expenses should be
charged to interim income in the interim period
in which they are incurred.
Some costs and expenses however, are allocated
among the interim periods based on:
An estimate of time used
An estimate of benefit received, or
Activity level of the interim period

Income taxes in interim periods
The first step is to determine the effective annual
tax rate for use in computing the interim income
tax provision.
The estimated rate includes all anticipated tax
credits, state income taxes, foreign income taxes,
capital gains taxes, and other tax planning efforts
expected for the full fiscal.
The estimate is updated each interim period and
the interim tax provision or benefit is then
determined.

Reporting Standards for Interim Income

Disposal of a component or extraordinary,
unusual, infrequently occurring, and
contingent items
Measurement and reporting on the same bases
as used to prepare the annual report.
Extraordinary items, discontinued operations,
and unusual and infrequently occurring items
should be reported in the interim period in
which they occur.
The materiality test for extraordinary items
should be based on the income estimate for the
entire fiscal year. 13-43

Disposal of a component or extraordinary,
unusual, infrequently occurring, and
contingent items
The materiality test for discontinued operations
and unusual and infrequent transactions should
be based on the operating income of the interim
period in which the discontinued operations are
first reported.
Contingencies that could affect the company also
must be disclosed on the same basis as that used
in the annual report.
