ANNUAL SURVEY OF
MANUFACTURES REPORT

INFORMATION BOOKLET

The 2007 Annual Survey of Manufactures consists of Form MA-10000 (general statistics inquiry
items) and the manufacturing sector’s inquiry that collects detailed materials, parts, and supplies
consumed, products manufactured and other special inquiry items.
Where available, the ASM form shows an establishment’s prior year data in the 2006 column. The
figures may differ from those actually reported because of changes made by the U.S. Census
Bureau as a result of correspondence or a comparison with prior data reported for the
establishment. Check these figures and make any necessary corrections. If 2006 figures are not
printed on your form, report these figures only for Inventories, items 9 and 10 .

●

●

Before returning your completed report, review all figures for the current year for consistency.
DEFINITION OF ESTABLISHMENT AND MANUFACTURING ACTIVITY
• An establishment is generally a single physical location where business is conducted or where
services or industrial operations are performed. Further clarification is provided in the General
Instructions.
• Manufacturing activity involves the mechanical, physical, or chemical transformation of materials,
substances, or components into new products. The assembling of component parts of
manufactured products is considered manufacturing, except in cases where the activity is
appropriately classified in Sector 23, Construction.
Report separate data for each establishment.

A. Who Should Report
The Annual Survey of Manufactures is conducted
under an Act of Congress (Title 13, United States
Code) which requires that a report be filed by every
manufacturer who receives a report form.
If an establishment that is not in operation receives a
report form, return the form with a notation of its
condition in item 3 , Operational Status. If the
establishment had custodial employees, capital
expenditures, inventories, or any shipments from
inventories, these should be reported in the proper
section.

●

Since separate data will be published for industries
and States, separate reports are required for each
manufacturing establishment (plant).
An establishment is a single physical location where
manufacturing is performed. If your company
operates at different physical locations, even if they
are producing the same line of goods, a separate
report must be filed for each location.

Descriptions of some of these activities are
provided in the DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS,
Item 22 .

If your company operates in two or more distinct
lines of manufacturing at the same location, a
separate report must be filed for each activity.

One of the important statistical measures of
manufacturing activity is "value added by
manufacture" which is derived by the U.S. Census
Bureau from the figures reported for value of
shipments, cost of materials, and inventories.

●

C. Economic Value

B. Manufacturing Activities
Report all activities (manufacturing, fabricating,
processing, and assembling) conducted within
the establishment.

In order for statistics on value added and other
subjects to be comparable from industry to industry,
it is necessary that the operations of each
establishment of a multiple-establishment
organization be reported as though the
establishment was a separate "economic" unit. This
means that the value of interplant transfers and the
cost of transferred materials within a company
should include, in addition to direct costs of
production, a reasonable proportion of "all other
costs (including company overhead) and profits."

INCLUDE
• Maintenance of plant and equipment
• Receiving and shipping activities
• Warehousing and storage
• Research
• Recordkeeping
• Health and safety
• Cafeteria and other services unless operated as
separate establishments

The establishment receiving such transfers should
report them as materials consumed (or inventories of
materials, etc.) at the same value plus the costs of
freight and other direct handling charges. (See item
16 , part A, Selected Production Related Costs; item 9 ,
Value of Inventories, and item 5 , part A, Shipments.)

●

EXCLUDE
• Sales branches and sales offices
• Research laboratories
• Retail stores
• Mining activities and general administrative
offices

●

D. Reporting Period
Report data for the calendar year. If calendar year
book figures are not available except at considerable
cost, reasonable estimates will be accepted. Indicate
in item 30 , Certification, the exact dates covered.

●

The Manufacturing Sector also includes
establishments engaged in the following
activities:

If there was a change in the operator during the
year or the establishment operated part of the
year only, the data apply to the period of
operation by your company only. Report in item
3 , Operational Status, any change of operator,
and the name and address of the new
operators.

• Apparel jobbing and contracting
• Assembling from purchased components
• Commission processing of materials owned by
others

E. Special Reporting Instructions for
Establishments with Ownership Changes
The establishment may have been purchased singly
or as part of a parent company which was acquired
by or merged with another company. Please make
certain that the date of the change in ownership is
3 , Operational Status.
recorded in Item ●
If the establishment is filing for only part of the
year, report as follows:
1. FINAL REPORT FOR THE OWNER WHO SOLD
THE ESTABLISHMENT – Report any new or used
capital expenditures, that occurred in the current
year prior to the sale.
2. BEGINNING REPORT FOR THE BUYER – Report
only the capital expenditures which occurred
after the original purchase of the entire plant.
F. Establishments Involved with Assets Leasing
Arrangements
If any building or equipment has been acquired this
year under a capital lease, please report the cost (at
13 .
the market value) as a capital expenditure in item ●
Do not report the periodic payments made to the
lessor. If the lease qualifies as an operating lease, do
not include the value of the building and equipment
as capital expenditures. Also, do not report the
periodic payments made to the producer or the
lessor as capital expenditures.

Part 2 – DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS
FOR SELECTED ITEMS —

●

Item 1 – EMPLOYER IDENTIFICATION
NUMBER(S)
This information is needed so that the Bureau of
the Census can avoid sending duplicate report
forms for the same location. Enter your current
Employer Identification Number (EIN) if it is
different from the one printed in the address label.
Our file of new business formations is based on the
new EINs issued each year. However, we exclude
mailing report forms to new EINs if we identify
them as belonging to existing respondents.

MA-10000(I) (5-21-2007)

●

Item 2 – PHYSICAL LOCATION OF
ESTABLISHMENT
Accurate and precise data on the physical location
of each establishment is needed in order to prepare
the tabulations of manufacturing activity in each
State. Each establishment has tentatively been
coded geographically based on the address shown
in item 2 of the report. Review item 2 and make
any necessary corrections or additions to the
address shown, including the street name and
number and ZIP Code.

●

●

●

Item 3 – OPERATIONAL STATUS

Complete this item fully. Accurate completion of
this item will avoid unnecessary correspondence
and reduce the possibility of your receiving more
than one report form for the manufacturing activity
at this location.
Mark (X) the box that is applicable to the operation
of your establishment during the survey year. If
you mark either of the last two boxes, fill in the
month, day, and year (figures only) that the action
became effective. If the last box is marked, supply
the name and address (or location) of the new
owner or operating company.

●

Item 5 – SALES, SHIPMENTS, RECEIPTS, OR
REVENUE (Part A on MA-10000(L)
form)
Report the total value of products shipped, including
interplant transfers, exports, and other receipts as
entered in item 22 . For selected industries in the
manufacturing sector, value of production or value
of work done are requested.
The value in item 5 , part A should be the same
as the value reported in item 22 , code
7700000000. Also, this value should be
comparable to the total reported for 2005. If the
two figures are not comparable, please explain in
the REMARKS section at the end of the form.

Continued

INCLUDE
Employer’s cost for legally required programs and
programs not required by law.

If any of the items are maintained in your records
only at the company level, allocate their costs to
the manufacturing establishment. You may
distribute the total on the basis of the ratio of the
payroll of each manufacturing establishment to
the total company payroll unless you have
developed your own method of making such
allocations. Specify the method used and the
approximate portion that has been allocated in
the REMARKS section at the end of the form.

Health insurance – Insurance premiums on
hospitals, medical plans, and single service
plans such as dental, vision, and prescription
drug plans. Include premium equivalents for
self-insured plans and fees paid to third party
administrators (TPAs). Do not include employee
contributions.
Pension plans

●

Report the value of all inventories owned by this
establishment regardless of where the
inventories are held.
If this establishment is part of a multipleestablishment company, assign to each
establishment those inventories that the
establishment is responsible for as if it owned
them.

b. Defined contribution plans – Costs under
defined contribution plans. Pension plans that
define the employer contributions to a separate
account provided for each employee. The
employee "benefit" at retirement depends on
the amount contributed and the results of the
account’s activity. Examples include profits
sharing plans, money purchase (e.g., 401k,
403b) and stock bonus plans (e.g., ESOPs).
Other – Other fringe benefits (e.g., Social
Security, workers’ compensation insurance,
unemployment tax, state disability insurance
programs, life insurance benefits, Medicare).

MA-10000(I) (5-21-2007)

●

Items 9 and 10 – INVENTORIES

a. Defined benefit pension plans – Costs for
both qualified and non-qualified defined
pension plans. Pension plans that specify the
benefit to be paid to employees upon
retirement, generally either a specific amount or
a percentage of compensation. Employer
contributions are based upon actuarial
computations that include the employee’s
compensation and years of service and are not
allocated to specific accounts maintained for
employees.

●

In reporting value of inventories for inventories
valued by LIFO, use the value of the inventories
before calculations to determine LIFO Value and
LIFO Reserve. The LIFO reserve (if any) is to be
reported separately in Item 9 , line B5.

Items 9 and 10 – INVENTORIES – Continued
Report value of inventories at cost or market
using generally accepted accounting methods.

●

Note that the LIFO reserve is the difference
between the current cost (e.g., FIFO) of
inventories (gross value) and the LIFO carrying
value (net value). If you calculate the LIFO
carrying value of inventories by specific goods
LIFO (unit LIFO), please estimate the current cost
of inventories for the purpose of determining the
LIFO reserve.

Special Note:
MATERIALS INVENTORIES refer to goods that
are raw inputs to the manufacturing process, and
that will be substantially altered to produce an
establishment’s output.
WORK-IN PROCESS INVENTORIES refer to goods
that have been substantially transformed in the
manufacturing process, but that are not yet the
final output of the establishment.

In completing the report of a manufacturing
establishment or sales branch, INCLUDE those
inventories that are held elsewhere, such as a
warehouse operated by your company or in a
public warehouse. The inventories of an operating
establishment held elsewhere should not be
reported on the report of the warehouse where
they are actually stored. Inventories should not be
duplicated on establishment reports.

FINISHED GOODS are goods that represent the
final output of the establishment, but that are still
within ownership of the establishment.

THE SCOPE OF MANUFACTURING ACTIVITY
Below is a list of manufacturing activities that are inside the scope of the Manufacturing Sector.
Establishments whose activity spans these areas should review their specific section carefully and
note any special product reporting instructions that may be particular to their products.
AEROSPACE INDUSTRIES (3364)
These instructions recognize that the assignment of product shipment values by the aerospace
industries differs from that followed by most manufacturing industries. Most contracts within the
aerospace industries are variations of "fixed price" or "cost plus." These instructions are designed to
insure that products are reported consistently in item 9 (inventories) and item 22 (products).

●

●

Fixed price contracts – Work performed under a fixed price contract should be reported as a
shipment when delivery of the product occurs. The cumulative value of the products being
manufactured should be included in inventories gross of progress payments until delivered. (These
inventories should not be reduced by the amount of any progress payment.)
Cost plus contracts – The value of work done on a cost plus contract should reflect cost
incurred during the year as well as a portion of the profits for the contract. Value of work done
may be based on (a) the estimated work completed during the year as a percentage of the total
contract price or (b) net billings for work done during the year. This value should be reported for
the value of products shipped. Any work done during the year that has not been reported as a
shipment should be reported in work-in-process inventories.
Nonaerospace products – The value of nonaerospace products shipped and services
performed should be based on the net selling value, f.o.b. plant, after discounts and allowances,
and exclusive of freight charges and excise taxes.
Include products made elsewhere for this establishment on a contract basis from materials supplied
by this establishment (the cost of these materials should be included in item 16 , line A1).

●

When transferring products to other establishments within your company, the shipping plant
should assign the full economic value of the transferred products, i.e., include all direct costs of
production and a reasonable proportion of all other costs and profits.
APPAREL MANUFACTURERS (3151)
Jobbers and Contractors – Apparel jobbers and contractors, as well as manufacturers,
are in scope of this survey and must report:
1. Jobber – Employs contractors to make apparel from fabrics you supply or makes knit apparel
from yarns you supply.
2. Contractor – Makes apparel from fabrics supplied to you by other companies or by other
establishments of your company (multi-establishment company contractor) or knits apparel
from yarns supplied by others.
3. Manufacturer – Makes apparel from fabrics that you purchase or knits apparel from purchased
yarn. Manufacturers may or may not employ contractors to supplement their labor force.
Reporting of Contract Work
1. Products made for you by others from your materials –
Manufacturers and jobbers should report such products as if they were made in their own
establishment. The cost of materials is reported in item 16 , line A1, the cost of contract work is
reported in item 16 , line A5, and the value of product shipments is reported in item 22 .

●

●

●

2. Products that you made from materials owned by others –
Contractors should report the amount received for "commission or contract receipts."
3. Products made by multi-establishment apparel companies –
If you knit or cut apparel in one plant and sew or finish the garment in another plant, the sewing
or finishing plants should be treated as contractors to the knitting or cutting plant. The contract
plants should report the value of work done during the survey year as "Receipts for work done
for others." The plant in which the garments were knit or cut should report the quantity and
value of the finished garments in item 22 , and the cost of work done by the sewing or finishing
plant in item 16 , line A5.

●

MA-10000(I) (5-21-2007)

●

Page 18

If your company has a central office or plant that purchases and maintains ownership of
materials (yarn, fabrics, etc.) but ships those materials to other plants of the company to be knit
or cut into garments, the central office or plant owning the materials should report the cost of
materials in item 16 , line A1, the cost of contract work in item 16 , line A5, and the quantity and
value of shipments in item 22 . The contractor plants receiving the materials should report the
value of work done as "Receipts for work done for others."

●

●

●

GARMENT MANUFACTURERS (3152–3159)
Report value of shipments for garments produced within the 50 states of the United States,
including garments covered under special import category "9802."
Those garments cut in the United States, sent abroad for sewing, and then shipped back into this
country under the provisions of item 9802.00 of the Tariff Schedules of the United States should
be reported in item 22 on the appropriate detailed product line.

●

Finished garments that you import, excluding "9802"garments, should be reported as "Resales" in
item 22 . If records are not kept separately on the shipments of imported garments, please estimate
a breakout and report the value of shipments of domestically produced garments on the
appropriate detailed product lines of item 22 and the shipments of imported garments as "Resales."

LIQUOR DISTILLING – REPORTING "VALUE OF PRODUCTION" (31214)
Please note that for products included in the activities listed above, the value of production rather
than the value of shipments is to be reported. The value of production should equal the selling

of the same grade sold during the year.
Distilled Liquors – Production value for products sold in the raw state or directly after
production refers to the actual amount received or receivable by you for the production,
excluding freight charges and excise taxes.
For liquors to be aged by you or otherwise placed in inventory prior to further processing or
selling, report only the actual cost of producing and barrelling the raw product, including the cost
of materials, labor cooperage, and the pro rata share of overhead generally assigned to such
production operations.

●

Report in item 22 , the value of work done on all new ships and offshore oil platforms during the
survey year. Include ocean, inland river, harbor, and Great Lakes ship construction. Include all
vessels under construction during the year, regardless of when the keels were laid or whether the
