(a)

In 2014, the change in the allowance for doubtful accounts represents the fair value of balances assumed in acquisition transactions. See Note 2 “Acquisitions” for further information.


 

(b)

Deductions from allowance for doubtful accounts represent write-offs of receivable balances not considered collectible. The deduction from the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets represents changes in estimates of our future taxable income and our estimated future usage of certain net operating loss carryforwards, as well as expiration of certain net operating loss carryforwards.
