(1) 
The calculation of the one-time transition tax is based upon estimates of post-1986 earnings and profits, applicable foreign tax credits and relevant limitations, utilization of U.S. federal net operating losses and tax credits and the amount of foreign earnings held in cash and non-cash assets. The adjustment during the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 was primarily related to further analysis of the Company’s utilization of foreign tax credits and applicable limitations. No other material adjustments were made to the net provisional income tax expense recognized in fiscal year 2018 related to the Tax Act under SAB 118.
(2) 
The liability recorded for a change in the indefinite reinvestment assertion on certain earnings from the Company's foreign subsidiaries is primarily associated with foreign withholding taxes that would be incurred upon such future remittances of cash. The Company intends to indefinitely reinvest the remaining earnings from the Company’s foreign subsidiaries for which a deferred tax liability has not already been recorded. The accumulated earnings are the most significant component of the basis differences which are indefinitely reinvested.
