________________________
(1) | We remeasured certain deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the rates at which they are expected to reverse in the future, which are generally 21.0%. Those items that reversed in 2018 were remeasured using a tax rate of 32.9%. We recorded a provisional decrease to deferred tax assets of $23.9 attributable to the rate reduction and a provisional tax liability of $4.0 related to transition tax for 2018. During 2019, we recorded adjustments reducing the impact of the rate change and the transition tax by $1.0 and $0.6 respectively, representing a tax rate reduction of 1%.
(2) | The tax basis of PolyVision exceeded the book equity of the entity. For United States federal tax purposes this generated a capital loss and related benefit, which varied from the expected US Federal tax expense on the financial statement gain on disposal.
(3) | The valuation allowance provisions were based on current year activity, and the valuation allowance adjustments, including a reversal of valuation allowance at an affiliate in the U.K., were based on various factors, which are further detailed below.
(4) | Investment tax credits were granted by the Czech Republic for investments in qualifying manufacturing equipment.
(5) | The increase in the cash surrender value of COLI policies, net of normal insurance expenses, plus maturity benefits are non-taxable.
(6) | The foreign operations, less applicable foreign tax credits, amounts include the rate differential between local statutory rates and the U.S. rate on foreign operations.
(7) | Scheduled changes to the French corporate tax rate resulted in the revaluation of certain deferred tax assets of our French tax group.
