(1)	The additions (reductions) in allowance for credit losses relate to reserves (releases) for expected credit losses during the respective years.

(2)	The write-offs of allowance for credit losses reflect certain receivables related to our Robotics segment that were previously reserved and subsequently deemed to be uncollectible.

(3)	The decrease in valuation allowance primarily relates to the valuation allowance release for certain of our U.K. operations.

(4)	The increase in valuation allowance relates to current year activity, including adjustments to prior year returns, and the related change in unrealized net deferred tax assets.

(5)	The addition in valuation allowance relates to the adjustment for a change in assessment on the realizability of our Luxembourg net operating losses from remote to less likely than not.

See Note 2 for a detailed discussion regarding our accounting policy on accounts receivable and allowance for credit losses. See Note 8 for a detailed discussion of the valuation allowance related to our deferred tax assets.
