Ecru Company has identified five industry segments: plastics, metals, lumber, paper, and finance.

It appropriately consolidated each of these segments in producing its annual financial statements. Information describing each segment (in thousands) follows:

	Plastics				Metals				Lumber				Paper				Finance
Sales to outside parties	$	6,770			$	2,369			$	726			$	437			$	0
Intersegment transfers		153				176				141				153				0
Interest income from outside parties		0				37				24				0				45
Interest income from intersegment loans		0				0				0				0				204
Operating expenses		4,274				1,792				1,096				669				34
Interest expense		79				34				69				22				105
Tangible assets		1,517				3,211				539				786				194
Intangible assets		90				406				0				66				0
Intersegment loans (debt)		0				0				0				0				709

Ecru does not allocate its $1,340,000 in common expenses to the various segments.
