SECTION III – ACES EQUIPMENT CODES LIST INSTRUCTIONS

  • Use the list on the next page to determine the numeric code for the primary function of the equipment in which you have invested, for reporting Item 8, "Capital Expenditures by Type of Equipment."
  • Examples listed on the next page indicate the types of equipment that are included in the categories listed below; the examples are not intended to be an exhaustive list.
  •  Please aggregate expenditures for equipment with the same codes. For example, if you spent $50,000 on computers and $20,000 on peripheral equipment for computers, list code 311 and enter $70,000 in the amount column. It is not necessary to list code 311 twice with the two separate amounts.
  • If a total for an equipment code includes more than one activity as defined by the column headings, please separate expenditures into all appropriate columns.
  • Please include as capital expenditures, the value of assets expended as permitted under section 179 of the U.S. Internal Revenue code.
  • The cost of any machinery and equipment which is an integral or built-in feature of a structure should be included as part of that structure, not as equipment.
  • Computer assisted machinery and systems that possess the ability to be programmed for a variety of functions should be reported according to the primary function of the system.
