One such indicator may be if one company is held out generally as an internal division or department of the other. Fish v. East, 114 F.2d 177, 191 (10th Cir. 1940). Consolidation may also be appropriate where the debtor and its affiliates are merely functionally integrated, if other factors favoring consolidation are present. See, e.g., Standard Brands, 154 B.R. at 572.
