T.     Segment reporting

Ferrellgas has one reportable segment, Propane operations and related equipment sales. The Propane operations and related equipment sales segment includes the distribution and sale of propane and related equipment throughout the United States. Sales from propane distribution are generated principally from transporting propane purchased from third parties to propane distribution locations and then to tanks on customers’ premises or to portable propane tanks delivered to nationwide and local retailers.

The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is the President and Chief Executive Officer. The CODM assesses segment performance and decides how to allocate resources based on “Net (loss) earnings,” a GAAP measure. The accounting policies of the reportable segment are the same as those described in “Note B – Summary of significant accounting policies.” The measure of segment assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheets as “Total assets” and the measure of capital expenditures is reported on the consolidated statements of cash flows as “Capital expenditures” in the investing activities section.
