(1) Note that $14,994 of the decrease in the deferred tax asset valuation is due to reducing the amount of Taiwan surtax credits to the correct amount available for use in future years, all such credits of which are and have been fully reserved.
 
(2) The allowance for doubtful accounts line has been restated from prior year.  A component of the change was to exclude consignment sales activity from 2012 and 2011.
