Non major enterprise funds would be aggregated and reported in a separate column.      

Even though internal service funds are classified as proprietary funds, the nature of the activity accounted for in them is generally governmental. By reporting internal service funds separately from the proprietary funds that account for business-type activities, the information in the "Totals" column on this statement flows directly to the "Business-type Activities" column on the statement of net assets, and the need for a reconciliation on this statement is avoided.
