Included in 2008 operating results is a refund of interest of $7.6 million before tax and $4.9 million after tax primarily attributable to
tax years 1986 through 1996.
During 2006, we reversed income tax liabilities of approximately $91.9 million related primarily to group relief benets obtained from
the use of net operating losses in a foreign jurisdiction in which our businesses operate as the result of final determinations on those
years. Also included in 2006 operating results is income of $2.6 million before tax and $3.9 million after tax attributable to the receipt of
interest and tax refunds on prior year tax items in excess of what was previously provided.
As of December 31, 2008, we had no net operating loss carryforward in the U.S. and $4.1 million net operating loss carryforwards in
foreign jurisdictions for which a full valuation allowance has been established because, in our judgment, we will most likely not realize a tax
benefit for these losses. The $1.5 million decrease from 2007 in the valuation allowance is due primarily to utilization of loss carryforwards
during 2008 as well as theuctuation in the British pound sterling to dollar exchange rate.
Total income taxes paid during 2008, 2007, and 2006 were $369.0 million, $189.9 million, and $129.2 million, respectively.
