Look here
Revenue is what they earned, assets is what they are worth.
I got ya both. Two real diehard "APPLE' fan boys. Listen and so you get this straight, and don't go outside this forum and embarras yourself.
Revenue, is TOTAL SALES or GROSS Receipts.
Profit is what they EARN from those sales
Assets are what the company OWNS, including cash, Accounts receivable, fixtures, Real Property, inventory, parts and so on.
so you 2 can brush up and argue on a level laying field. Accounting 101

Now to the problem of discussion;
You are both fighting over numbers which are incomparable if you DO NOT convert the currency. 201 Trillion Korean WON is $185,169,740 US Dollars (that's $185 Billion USD,) which is how Apple reports their financials. So 4thQ 2012 Apple reported REVENUE of $156.5 Billion USD with earnings of $41.7 Billion
read it right here. But do the conversions otherwise you will continue to confound yourself and others with your battle of wits

Lastly, I understand what you are saying about Samsung and different corporations. Just like iTunes could be a separate entity unto itself. But they include it in the total revenue numbers for the Company.
Suffice it to say as we got away from the initial discussion. I believe it would have been prudent for Apple to make an arrangement with Sharp, and through in a couple hundred mill even a Bill (since they have about 130 of em) and block Samsung out.
