Particular care should be taken to insure that a report on Form B is filed for each allied organization listed under item 9 of Form A and conversely each organization reported on Form B is listed under that item. In the case of combined reports referred to above list each of the combined organizations on Form A and indicate the Form B covering their activities. A report on Form B covering each allied foreign organization is required by law.

Do not list individual small buildings or machines.

Such descriptive classifications as "land," "factory buildings," "mining property," "electric power station," and the like will suffice. In the case of intangibles and financials securities, state the general nature of the property held, e. g., "stocks and bonds," or "demand deposits,” but do not describe each item in the account. Ignore minor accounts of any nature. Real properties located in a jurisdiction other than that in which the organization being reported is located must be reported as a branch operation. (See sec.

These properties shall be reported if otherwise deemed to have been located in a foreign country on December 31, 1950, provided that no person shall report any property damaged, seized, nationalized, expropriated, confiscated, revoked, or otherwise lost before such persons became subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.

1. Item 11f —Schedule 1—Intercompany accounts, notes, and advances.— Show under this heading only the accounts, notes, or advances due to the parent organization. For accounts payable by the parent organization to the foreign organization see item 14c.

2. Item 12 —Branches.—The parent organization’s investment in each branch shall be shown so as to reflect the total investment therein regardless of the methods of bookkeeping in use. Where the parent organization’s practice has been to include all transactions with the branch in one account on the home office books no adjustment will be necessary. However, where any deviation from this procedure has occurred, appropriate adjusting entries should be applied to the parent organization’s and the branch’s accounts. For example, adjusting entries should be applied in the event that property attributable to the branch has been carried on the books of the parent organization as part of the parent organ-

ization's general property. If the branch has accounts receivable outstanding in other foreign countries, these should be counted as part of the branch total investment in the country where the branch is located.

"Carrying value per books of parent" shall be considered to be the balance at which the branch account, stated in accordance with the standards set forth in the preceding paragraph, appears on the books of the parent organization. Debit balances shall be shown without special distinguishing marks, but credit balances shall be preceded by the symbol CR or entered in red.

The value “as carried on the books of the foreign organization” shall be the balance at which the branch carries its accounts with the home office, adjusted in accordance with the same standards as those applied to the parent organization’s accounts. Credit balances shall be shown without special distinguishing marks, but debit balances shall be preceded by the symbol DR or entered in red. “Net earnings of foreign properties” should be reported before provision for United States income taxes and unrealized exchange losses or gains, but after deduction for any other expenses including those incurred in the United States by or on behalf of the foreign branch.
