Section C — Number of Employees and Employee Compensation

Reporter ID

• Report the number of employees on the payroll at the end of FY 2012 including part-time employees, but excluding temporary and
contract employees not included on your payroll records. A count taken at some other date during the reporting period may be given
provided it is a reasonable estimate of employees on the payroll at the end of FY 2012. If the number of employees at the end of FY 2012
(or when the count was taken) was unusually high or low due to temporary factors (e.g., a strike), enter the number of employees that
reflects normal operations. If the number of employees fluctuates widely during the year due to seasonal business variations, report the
average number of employees on the payroll during FY 2012. Base such an average on the number of employees on the payroll at the
end of each pay period, month or quarter. If precise figures are not available, give your best estimate.
• Report employee compensation expenditures made by an employer in connection with the employment of workers, including cash
payments, payments in-kind, and employer expenditures for employee benefit plans including those required by statute. Base
compensation data on payroll records. Report compensation which relates to activities that occurred during the reporting period regardless
of whether the activities were charged as an expense on the income statement, charged to inventories, or capitalized. DO NOT include
data related to activities of a prior period, such as those capitalized or charged to inventories in prior periods. DO NOT include
compensation of contract workers not carried on the payroll of this U.S. Reporter. Total employee compensation consists of wages and
salaries of employees and employer expenditures for all employee benefit plans.
— Wages and salaries include gross earnings of all employees before deduction of employees’ payroll withholding taxes, social
insurance contributions, group insurance premiums, union dues, etc. Include time and piece-rate payments, cost of living adjustments,
overtime pay and shift differentials, bonuses, profit-sharing amounts, stock-based compensation, and commissions. Exclude commissions
paid to independent personnel who are not employees. Include direct payments by employers for vacations, sick leave, severance
(redundancy) pay, etc. Exclude payments made by, or on behalf of, benefit funds rather than by the employer. Include employer
contributions to benefit funds. Include in-kind payments, valued at their costs, that are clearly and primarily of benefit to the employees
as consumers. Do not include expenditures that benefit employers as well as employees, such as expenditures for plant facilities,
employee training programs, and reimbursement of business expenses.
— Employee benefit plans include employer expenditures for all employee benefit plans including those mandated by government
statute, those resulting from collective bargaining contracts and those that are voluntary. Include Social Security and other retirement
plans, life and disability insurance, guaranteed sick pay programs, workers’ compensation insurance, medical insurance, family
allowances, unemployment insurance, severance pay funds, etc. Also, include deferred post-employment and post-retirement expenses
per FASB ASC 715 (FAS 106). If plans are financed jointly by the employer and the employee, include only the contributions of the
employer.

Part IV – Exports and Imports By the U.S. Reporter
Goods only valued f.a.s. at the port of exportation; do not include services. See Instruction Booklet, Part V.
IMPORTANT NOTES
Report exports and imports of goods by the U.S. Reporter in FY 2012.
Report all goods that physically left or entered the U.S. customs area.
Report data on a "shipped" basis, i.e., on the basis of when and to (or by)
whom the goods were shipped. This is the same basis as official U.S.
trade statistics to which these data will be compared. Do not record a
U.S. import or export if the goods did not physically enter or leave (i.e.,
were not physically shipped to or from) the United States, even if they
were charged to the U.S. Reporter by, or charged by the U.S. Reporter to,
a foreign person.
U.S. Reporters normally keep their accounting records on a "charged"
basis, i.e., on the basis of when and to (or by) whom the goods were
charged. The "charged" basis may be used if there is no material
difference between it and the "shipped" basis. If there is a material
difference, the "shipped" basis must be used or adjustments made to data
on a "charged" basis to approximate a "shipped" basis. The data should
include goods only; they should exclude services.
Capital goods — Include capital goods but exclude the value of ships,
planes, railroad rolling stock, and trucks that were temporarily outside the
United States transporting people or goods.
Consigned goods — Include consigned goods in the trade figures when
shipped or received, even though they are not normally recorded as sales
or purchases, or entered into intercompany accounts when initially
consigned.

In-transit goods — Exclude from exports and imports the value of
goods that are in-transit. In-transit goods are goods that are not processed
or consumed by residents in the intermediate country(ies) through which
they transit; the in-transit goods enter that country(ies) only because that
country(ies) is along the shipping lines between the exporting and
importing countries. In-transit imports are goods en route from one foreign
country to another via the United States (such as from Canada to Mexico
via the United States), and in-transit exports are goods en route from one
part of the United States to another part via a foreign country (such as
from Alaska to Washington State via Canada).
Packaged general use computer software — Include exports and
imports of packaged general use computer software. Value such exports
and imports at the full transaction value, i.e., the market value of the media
on which the software is recorded and the value of the information
contained on the media. Do not include exports and imports of customized
software designed to meet the needs of a specific user. This type of
software is considered a service and should not be included as trade in
goods. Also do not include negotiated leasing fees for software that is to
be used on networks.
Natural gas, electricity, and water — Report ONLY the product
value of natural gas, electricity, and water that you produce or sell at
wholesale as exports and imports of goods. DO NOT report the service
value (transmission and distribution).

FORM BE-11A
ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS BY ITEM
Authority — This survey is being conducted pursuant to the International Investment and Trade in Services Survey Act (P.L. 94-472., 90 Stat. 2059, 22

Notwithstanding any other provision of the law, no person is required to respond to, nor shall any person be subject to penalty for failure to comply with, a
collection of information subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act, unless that collection of information displays a currently valid OMB
Control Number.
Respondent Burden — Public reporting burden for this BE-11 report (comprising Form BE-11A and Form(s) BE-11B, BE-11C, BE-11D,
and/or BE-11E) is estimated to average 86 hours per response. This burden includes time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources,

Confidentiality — The Act provides that your report to this Bureau is confidential and may be used only for analytical or statistical purposes. Without
your prior written permission, the information filed in your report cannot be presented in a manner that allows it to be individually identified. Your report
cannot be used for purposes of taxation, investigation, or regulation. Copies retained for your files are immune from legal process.

Part III — Financial and Operating Data of

sales of services all revenues associated with the design, editing,
and marketing activities necessary for producing and distributing
books that you both publish and sell. If you cannot unbundle (i.e.,
separate) these revenues from the value of the books you sell, then
report your total sales as sales of goods or services based on the
activity that accounts for a majority of the value.

• Energy trading activities where you take title to the goods. NOTE: If
you act in the capacity of a broker or agent to facilitate the sale of
goods and you do not take title to the goods, report your revenue

subscription sales as sales of services in 35 .

• Packaged general use computer software.
• Structures sold by businesses in real estate.
• Revenues earned from building structures by businesses in

are intangible. Report as sales of services:
• Advertising revenue.
