___________________
(1)
The tax valuation allowance deductions for the year ended 2017 represents the effect of the change in the statutory tax rate as a result of the enactment of the Tax Act on December 22, 2017. For other periods presented, deductions included write-offs of amounts previously reserved.
(2)
With the implementation of ASU No. 2016-02 as of January 1, 2019 (see Note 2), the current guidance clarified that uncollectible lease payments were to be recognized as a reduction in revenues and were not considered an allowance. With this implementation, the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts was re-characterized to be appropriately reflected as reductions in Revenues for uncollectible amounts.
