[1] Beginning January 1, 2018, due to the adoption of the new accounting standard for the recognition and measurement of financial assets and liabilities, equity securities will be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. The existing unrealized net capital gains and losses, after-tax, will be reclassified to retained income through a cumulative effect adjustment. See Note 2 for additional details on the new accounting standard.

[2] Changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities primarily relate to the Tax Legislation.
