be generated, by an affiliate is from non-holding company activities.

Section B — Number of Employees and Employee Compensation
• 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 affiliate.
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 III — U.S. Exports To and U.S. Imports From Minority-Owned Foreign Affiliate
Goods only valued f.a.s. at port of exportation; do not include services — See Instruction Booklet, Part V.
IMPORTANT NOTES
Report U.S. exports of goods to and U.S. imports of goods from the
foreign affiliate 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 foreign affiliate by, or charged by the foreign affiliate to, a U.S.
person.
Foreign affiliates 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 the 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).
