(1) During the fiscal years ended August 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, the additions charged to costs and expenses primarily relate to the increase of deferred tax assets for sites with existing valuation allowances. (2) During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2017, the reductions charged to other accounts primarily relate to the decrease of net operating loss carry forwards due to non-U.S. unrecognized tax benefits and a non-U.S. tax audit. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2016, the additions charged to other accounts primarily related to the recognition of excess tax benefits due to the early adoption of the new accounting guidance for share-based payment transactions. (3) During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2017, the reductions charged to costs and expenses primarily relate to the release of certain non-U.S. valuation allowances.
