__________
(1) The 2008 change to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance charged to other accounts represents a
reduction equal to the related deferred tax asset reduction in 2008 for re-measurement of state tax attributes,
net of federal tax benefit. A full valuation allowance for this deferred tax asset was established in prior
periods.
(2) Deductions from reserves represent losses or expenses for which the respective reserves were created. In
the case of the uncollectible accounts reserve, such deductions are net of recoveries of amounts previously
written off.
