amortized over a nine-year period beginning december 2015. see note 2 to the financial statements for further discussion of the business combination and customer credits. the volume/weather variance is primarily due to the effect of more favorable weather during the unbilled period and an increase in industrial usage, partially offset by the effect of less favorable weather on residential sales. the increase in industrial usage is primarily due to expansion projects, primarily in the chemicals industry, and increased demand from new customers, primarily in the industrial gases industry. the louisiana act 55 financing savings obligation variance results from a regulatory charge for tax savings to be shared with customers per an agreement approved by the lpsc. the tax savings resulted from the 2010-2011 irs audit settlement on the treatment of the louisiana act 55 financing of storm costs for hurricane gustav and hurricane ike. see note 3 to the financial statements for additional discussion of the settlement and benefit sharing. included in other is a provision of $23 million recorded in 2016 related to the settlement of the waterford 3 replacement steam generator prudence review proceeding, offset by a provision of $32 million recorded in 2015 related to the uncertainty at that time associated with the resolution of the waterford 3 replacement steam generator prudence review proceeding. a0 see note 2 to the financial statements for a discussion of the waterford 3 replacement steam generator prudence review proceeding. entergy wholesale commodities following is an analysis of the change in net revenue comparing 2016 to 2015. amount (in millions).

table of contents adobe inc. notes to consolidated financial statements (continued) certain states and foreign jurisdictions to fully utilize available tax credits and other attributes. the deferred tax assets are offset by a valuation allowance to the extent it is more likely than not that they are not expected to be realized. we provide u.s. income taxes on the earnings of foreign subsidiaries unless the subsidiaries 2019 earnings are considered permanently reinvested outside the united states or are exempted from taxation as a result of the new territorial tax system. to the extent that the foreign earnings previously treated as permanently reinvested are repatriated, the related u.s. tax liability may be reduced by any foreign income taxes paid on these earnings. as of november 30, 2018, the cumulative amount of earnings upon which u.s. income taxes have not been provided is approximately $275 million. the unrecognized deferred tax liability for these earnings is approximately $57.8 million. as of november 30, 2018, we have net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $881.1 million for federal and $349.7 million for state. we also have federal, state and foreign tax credit carryforwards of approximately $8.8 million, $189.9 million and $14.9 million, respectively. the net operating loss carryforward assets and tax credits will expire in various years from fiscal 2019 through 2036. the state tax credit carryforwards and a portion of the federal net operating loss carryforwards can be carried forward indefinitely. the net operating loss carryforward assets and certain credits are reduced by the valuation allowance and are subject to an annual limitation under internal revenue code section 382, the carrying amount of which are expected to be fully realized. as of november 30, 2018, a valuation allowance of $174.5 million has been established for certain deferred tax assets related to certain state and foreign assets. for fiscal 2018, the total change in the valuation allowance was $80.9 million. accounting for uncertainty in income taxes during fiscal 2018 and 2017, our aggregate changes in our total gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits are summarized as follows (in thousands):.
- | 2018 | 2017
beginning balance | $172945 | $178413
gross increases in unrecognized tax benefits 2013 prior year tax positions | 16191 | 3680
gross decreases in unrecognized tax benefits 2013 prior year tax positions | -4000 (4000) | -30166 (30166)
gross increases in unrecognized tax benefits 2013 current year tax positions | 60721 | 24927
settlements with taxing authorities | 2014 | -3876 (3876)
lapse of statute of limitations | -45922 (45922) | -8819 (8819)
foreign exchange gains and losses | -3783 (3783) | 8786
ending balance | $196152 | $172945
the combined amount of accrued interest and penalties related to tax positions taken on our tax returns were approximately $24.6 million and $23.6 million for fiscal 2018 and 2017, respectively. these amounts were included in long-term income taxes payable in their respective years. we file income tax returns in the united states on a federal basis and in many u.s. state and foreign jurisdictions. we are subject to the continual examination of our income tax returns by the irs and other domestic and foreign tax authorities. our major tax jurisdictions are ireland, california and the united states. for ireland, california and the united states, the earliest fiscal years open for examination are 2008, 2014 and 2015, respectively. we regularly assess the likelihood of outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of our provision for income taxes and have reserved for potential adjustments that may result from these examinations. we believe such estimates to be reasonable; however, there can be no assurance that the final determination of any of these examinations will not have an adverse effect on our operating results and financial position. the timing of the resolution of income tax examinations is highly uncertain as are the amounts and timing of tax payments that are part of any audit settlement process. these events could cause large fluctuations in the balance of short-term and long- term assets, liabilities and income taxes payable. we believe that within the next 12 months, it is reasonably possible that either certain audits will conclude or statutes of limitations on certain income tax examination periods will expire, or both. given the uncertainties described above, we can only determine a range of estimated potential effect in underlying unrecognized tax benefits ranging from $0 to approximately $45 million..

2007 compared with 2006 total net revenue of $71.4 billion was up $9.4 billion, or 15% (15%), from the prior year. higher net interest income, very strong private equity gains, record asset management, administration and commissions revenue, higher mortgage fees and related income and record investment banking fees contributed to the revenue growth. these increases were offset partially by lower trading revenue. investment banking fees grew in 2007 to a level higher than the pre- vious record set in 2006. record advisory and equity underwriting fees drove the results, partially offset by lower debt underwriting fees. for a further discussion of investment banking fees, which are primarily recorded in ib, see the ib segment results on pages 40 201342 of this annual report. principal transactions revenue consists of trading revenue and private equity gains. trading revenue declined significantly from the 2006 level, primarily due to markdowns in ib of $1.4 billion (net of hedges) on subprime positions, including subprime cdos, and $1.3 billion (net of fees) on leveraged lending funded loans and unfunded commitments. also in ib, markdowns in securitized products on nonsubprime mortgages and weak credit trading performance more than offset record revenue in currencies and strong revenue in both rates and equities. equities benefited from strong client activity and record trading results across all products. ib 2019s credit portfolio results increased compared with the prior year, primarily driven by higher revenue from risk management activities. the increase in private equity gains from 2006 reflected a significantly higher level of gains, the classification of certain private equity carried interest as compensation expense and a fair value adjustment in the first quarter of 2007 on nonpublic private equity investments resulting from the adoption of sfas 157 (201cfair value measurements 201d). for a further discussion of principal transactions revenue, see the ib and corporate segment results on pages 40 201342 and 59 201360, respectively, and note 6 on page 122 of this annual report. lending & deposit-related fees rose from the 2006 level, driven pri- marily by higher deposit-related fees and the bank of new york transaction. for a further discussion of lending & deposit-related fees, which are mostly recorded in rfs, tss and cb, see the rfs segment results on pages 43 201348, the tss segment results on pages 54 201355, and the cb segment results on pages 52 201353 of this annual report. asset management, administration and commissions revenue reached a level higher than the previous record set in 2006. increased assets under management and higher performance and placement fees in am drove the record results. the 18% (18%) growth in assets under management from year-end 2006 came from net asset inflows and market appreciation across all segments: institutional, retail, private bank and private client services. tss also contributed to the rise in asset management, administration and commissions revenue, driven by increased product usage by new and existing clients and market appreciation on assets under custody. finally, commissions revenue increased, due mainly to higher brokerage transaction volume (primarily included within fixed income and equity markets revenue of ib), which more than offset the sale of the insurance business by rfs in the third quarter of 2006 and a charge in the first quarter of 2007 resulting from accelerated surrenders of customer annuities. for additional information on these fees and commissions, see the segment discussions for ib on pages 40 201342, rfs on pages 43 201348, tss on pages 54 201355, and am on pages 56 201358, of this annual report. the favorable variance resulting from securities gains in 2007 compared with securities losses in 2006 was primarily driven by improvements in the results of repositioning of the treasury invest- ment securities portfolio. also contributing to the positive variance was a $234 million gain from the sale of mastercard shares. for a fur- ther discussion of securities gains (losses), which are mostly recorded in the firm 2019s treasury business, see the corporate segment discussion on pages 59 201360 of this annual report. consol idated results of operat ions.

(a) we utilize a non-gaap measure in the computation of capital expenditures and include spending associated with facilities accounted for as capital leases and purchases of noncontrolling interests. certain contracts associated with facilities that are built to provide product to a specific customer are required to be accounted for as leases, and such spending is reflected as a use of cash within cash provided by operating activities, if the arrangement qualifies as a capital lease. additionally, the payment for subsidiary shares from noncontrolling interests in a subsidiary is accounted for as an equity transaction and will be reflected as a financing activity in the statement of cash flows. the presentation of this non-gaap measure is intended to enhance the usefulness of information by providing a measure that our management uses internally to evaluate and manage our expenditures. capital expenditures on a gaap basis in 2014 totaled $1682.2, compared to $1747.8 in 2013. the decrease of $65.6 was primarily due to the acquisitions in 2013. additions to plant and equipment are largely in support of the merchant gases and tonnage gases businesses. additions to plant and equipment also included support capital of a routine, ongoing nature, including expenditures for distribution equipment and facility improvements. spending in 2014 and 2013 included plant and equipment constructed to provide oxygen for coal gasification in china, hydrogen to the global market, and renewable energy in the u.k. in 2013, we completed three acquisitions with an aggregate cash use, net of cash acquired, of $224.9. in the fourth quarter, we acquired an air separation unit and integrated gases liquefier in guiyang, china. during the third quarter, we acquired epco, the largest independent u.s. producer of liquid carbon dioxide (co2), and wcg. in 2012, we acquired a controlling stake in indura s.a. for $690 and e.i. dupont de nemours and co., inc. 2019s 50% (50%) interest in our joint venture, da nanomaterials for $147. we also purchased a 25% (25%) equity interest in abdullah hashim industrial gases & equipment co. ltd.

note 17 financial derivatives we use derivative financial instruments (derivatives) primarily to help manage exposure to interest rate, market and credit risk and reduce the effects that changes in interest rates may have on net income, fair value of assets and liabilities, and cash flows. we also enter into derivatives with customers to facilitate their risk management activities. derivatives represent contracts between parties that usually require little or no initial net investment and result in one party delivering cash or another type of asset to the other party based on a notional amount and an underlying as specified in the contract. derivative transactions are often measured in terms of notional amount, but this amount is generally not exchanged and it is not recorded on the balance sheet. the notional amount is the basis to which the underlying is applied to determine required payments under the derivative contract. the underlying is a referenced interest rate (commonly libor), security price, credit spread or other index. residential and commercial real estate loan commitments associated with loans to be sold also qualify as derivative instruments. the following table presents the notional amounts and gross fair values of all derivative assets and liabilities held by pnc: table 127: total gross derivatives.

the company continues to evaluate its portfolio and business performance and may decide to dispose of additional businesses in the future. however given the improvements in our liquidity there will be a lower emphasis placed on asset sales in the future for purposes of improving liquidity and strengthening the balance sheet. for any sales that happen in the future, there can be no guarantee that the proceeds from such sale transactions will cover the entire investment in the subsidiaries. depending on which businesses are eventually sold, the entire or partial sale of any business may change the current financial characteristics of the company 2019s portfolio and results of operations. furthermore future sales may impact the amount of recurring earnings and cash flows the company would expect to achieve. subsidiary restructuring during 2003, we completed and initiated restructuring transactions for several of our south american businesses. the efforts are focused on improving the businesses long-term prospects for generating acceptable returns on invested capital or extending short-term debt maturities. businesses impacted include eletropaulo, tiete, uruguaiana and sul in brazil and gener in chile. brazil eletropaulo. aes has owned an interest in eletropaulo since april 1998, when the company was privatized. in february 2002 aes acquired a controlling interest in the business and as a consequence started to consolidate it. aes financed a significant portion of the acquisition of eletropaulo, including both common and preferred shares, through loans and deferred purchase price financing arrangements provided by the brazilian national development bank 2014 (2018 2018bndes 2019 2019), and its wholly-owned subsidiary, bndes participac 0327o 0303es s.a.

statutory net income | $2430 | $2369 | $2196 | $1047 | $904 | $818
as permitted by the restructuring discussed previously in note 7, certain of the company 2019s u.s. subsidiaries discount certain a&e liabilities, which increased statutory capital and surplus by approximately $206 million, $215 million, and $211 million at december 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. the company 2019s international subsidiaries prepare statutory financial statements based on local laws and regulations. some jurisdictions impose complex regulatory requirements on insurance companies while other jurisdictions impose fewer requirements. in some countries, the company must obtain licenses issued by governmental authorities to conduct local insurance business. these licenses may be subject to reserves and minimum capital and solvency tests. jurisdictions may impose fines, censure, and/or criminal sanctions for violation of regulatory requirements..
what was the amount of statutory capital and surplus for bermuda subsidiaries in 2010? 11798.0
and what was it in 2009? 9164.0
by how much, then, did it increase over the year? 2634.0

liquidity and capital resources we maintained a strong financial position throughout fiscal year 2019. as of 30 september 2019, our consolidated balance sheet included cash and cash items of $2248.7. we continue to have consistent access to commercial paper markets, and cash flows from operating and financing activities are expected to meet liquidity needs for the foreseeable future. as of 30 september 2019, we had $971.5 of foreign cash and cash items compared to a total amount of cash and cash items of $2248.7. as a result of the tax act, we do not expect that a significant portion of our foreign subsidiaries' and affiliates' earnings will be subject to u.s. income tax upon subsequent repatriation to the united states. the repatriation of these earnings may be subject to foreign withholding and other taxes depending on the country in which the subsidiaries and affiliates reside. however, because we have significant current investment plans outside the u.s., it is our intent to permanently reinvest the majority of our foreign cash and cash items that would be subject to additional taxes outside the u.s. refer to note 23, income taxes, for additional information. the table below summarizes our cash flows from operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities from continuing operations as reflected on the consolidated statements of cash flows:.
cash provided by (used for) | 2019 | 2018
operating activities | $2969.9 | $2547.2
investing activities | -2113.4 (2113.4) | -1641.6 (1641.6)
financing activities | -1370.5 (1370.5) | -1359.8 (1359.8)
operating activities for the fiscal year ended 30 september 2019, cash provided by operating activities was $2969.9. income from continuing operations of $1760.0 was adjusted for items including depreciation and amortization, deferred income taxes, impacts from the tax act, a charge for the facility closure of one of our customers, undistributed earnings of unconsolidated affiliates, gain on sale of assets and investments, share-based compensation, noncurrent capital lease receivables, and certain other adjustments. the caption "gain on sale of assets and investments" includes a gain of $14.1 recognized on the disposition of our interest in high-tech gases (beijing) co., ltd., a previously held equity investment in our industrial gases 2013 asia segment. refer to note 7, acquisitions, to the consolidated financial statements for additional information. the working capital accounts were a use of cash of $25.3, primarily driven by $69.0 from trade receivables and $41.8 from payables and accrued liabilities, partially offset by $79.8 from other receivables. the use of cash within "payables and accrued liabilities" was primarily driven by a $48.9 decrease in accrued utilities and a $30.3 decrease in accrued interest, partially offset by a $51.6 increase in customer advances primarily related to sale of equipment activity. the decrease in accrued utilities was primarily driven by a contract modification to a tolling arrangement in india and lower utility costs in the industrial gases 2013 americas segment. the source of cash from other receivables of $79.8 was primarily due to the maturities of forward exchange contracts that hedged foreign currency exposures and the collection of value added taxes. for the fiscal year ended 30 september 2018, cash provided by operating activities was $2547.2, including income from continuing operations of $1455.6. other adjustments of $131.6 include a $54.9 net impact from the remeasurement of intercompany transactions. the related hedging instruments that eliminate the earnings impact are included as a working capital adjustment in other receivables or payables and accrued liabilities. in addition, other adjustments were impacted by cash received from the early termination of a cross currency swap of $54.4, as well as the excess of pension expense over pension contributions of $23.5. the working capital accounts were a use of cash of $265.4, primarily driven by payables and accrued liabilities, inventories, and trade receivables, partially offset by other receivables. the use of cash in payables and accrued liabilities of $277.7 includes a decrease in customer advances of $145.7 primarily related to sale of equipment activity and $67.1 for maturities of forward exchange contracts that hedged foreign currency exposures. the use of cash in inventories primarily resulted from the purchase of helium molecules. in addition, inventories reflect the noncash impact of our change in accounting for u.s. inventories from lifo to fifo. the source of cash from other receivables of $128.3 was primarily due to the maturities of forward exchange contracts that hedged foreign currency exposures..

fiscal 2016 | $377.0

goodwill in accordance with asc 350, intangibles 2014goodwill and other (asc 350), the company tests goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis and between annual tests if events and circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. events that could indicate impairment and trigger an interim impairment assessment include, but are not limited to, current economic and market conditions, including a decline in market capitalization, a significant adverse change in legal factors, business climate, operational performance of the business or key personnel, and an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. in performing the impairment test, the company utilizes the two-step approach prescribed under asc 350. the first step requires a comparison of the carrying value of each reporting unit to its estimated fair value. to estimate the fair value of its reporting units for step 1, the company primarily utilizes the income approach. the income approach is based on a dcf analysis and calculates the fair value by estimating the after-tax cash flows attributable to a reporting unit and then discounting the after-tax cash flows to a present value using a risk-adjusted discount rate. assumptions used in the dcf require significant judgment, including judgment about appropriate discount rates and terminal values, growth rates, and the amount and timing of expected future cash flows. the forecasted cash flows are based on the company 2019s most recent budget and strategic plan and for years beyond this period, the company 2019s estimates are based on assumed growth rates expected as of the measurement date. the company believes its assumptions are consistent with the plans and estimates used to manage the underlying businesses. the discount rates used are intended to reflect the risks inherent in future cash flow projections and are based on estimates of the weighted-average cost of capital (201cwacc 201d) of market participants relative to each respective reporting unit. the market approach considers comparable market data based on multiples of revenue or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (201cebitda 201d) and is primarily used as a corroborative analysis to the results of the dcf analysis. the company believes its assumptions used to determine the fair value of its reporting units are reasonable. if different assumptions were used, particularly with respect to forecasted cash flows, terminal values, waccs, or market multiples, different estimates of fair value may result and there could be the potential that an impairment charge could result. actual operating results and the related cash flows of the reporting units could differ from the estimated operating results and related cash flows. if the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, the company is required to perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. the second step of the goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value of a reporting unit 2019s goodwill to its carrying value. the implied fair value of goodwill is derived by performing a hypothetical purchase price allocation for each reporting unit as of the measurement date and allocating the reporting unit 2019s estimated fair value to its assets and liabilities. the residual amount from performing this allocation represents the implied fair value of goodwill. to the extent this amount is below the carrying value of goodwill, an impairment charge is recorded. the company conducted its fiscal 2015 impairment test on the first day of the fourth quarter, and as noted above used dcf and market approaches to estimate the fair value of its reporting units as of june 28, 2015, and ultimately used the fair value determined by the dcf approach in making its impairment test conclusions. the company believes it used reasonable estimates and assumptions about future revenue, cost projections, cash flows, market multiples and discount rates as of the measurement date. as a result of completing step 1, all of the company's reporting units had fair values exceeding their carrying values, and as such, step 2 of the impairment test was not required. for illustrative purposes, had the fair value of each of the reporting units that passed step 1 been lower than 10% (10%), all of the reporting units would still have passed step 1 of the goodwill impairment test. at september 26, 2015, the company believes that each reporting unit, with goodwill aggregating 2.81 billion, was not at risk of failing step 1 of the goodwill impairment test based on the current forecasts. the company conducted its fiscal 2014 annual impairment test on the first day of the fourth quarter, and as noted above used dcf and market approaches to estimate the fair value of its reporting units as of june 29, 2014, and ultimately used the fair value determined by the dcf approach in making its impairment test conclusions. the company believes it used reasonable estimates and assumptions about future revenue, cost projections, cash flows, market multiples and discount rates as source: hologic inc, 10-k, november 19, 2015 powered by morningstar ae document research 2120 the

the aes corporation notes to consolidated financial statements 2014 (continued) december 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015 was dispatched starting in february 2018. aes puerto rico continues to be the lowest cost and epa compliant energy provider in puerto rico. therefore, we expect aes puerto rico to continue to be a critical supplier to prepa. starting prior to the hurricanes, prepa has been facing economic challenges that could impact the company, and on july 2, 2017, filed for bankruptcy under title iii. as a result of the bankruptcy filing, aes puerto rico and aes ilumina 2019s non-recourse debt of $365 million and $36 million, respectively, is in default and has been classified as current as of december 31, 2017. in november 2017, aes puerto rico signed a forbearance and standstill agreement with its lenders to prevent the lenders from taking any action against the company due to the default events. this agreement will expire on march 22, 2018. the company's receivable balances in puerto rico as of december 31, 2017 totaled $86 million, of which $53 million was overdue. after the filing of title iii protection, and up until the disruption caused by the hurricanes, aes in puerto rico was collecting the overdue amounts from prepa in line with historic payment patterns. considering the information available as of the filing date, management believes the carrying amount of our assets in puerto rico of $627 million is recoverable as of december 31, 2017 and no reserve on the receivables is required. foreign currency risks 2014 aes operates businesses in many foreign countries and such operations could be impacted by significant fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. fluctuations in currency exchange rate between u.s. dollar and the following currencies could create significant fluctuations in earnings and cash flows: the argentine peso, the brazilian real, the dominican republic peso, the euro, the chilean peso, the colombian peso, and the philippine peso. concentrations 2014 due to the geographical diversity of its operations, the company does not have any significant concentration of customers or sources of fuel supply. several of the company's generation businesses rely on ppas with one or a limited number of customers for the majority of, and in some cases all of, the relevant businesses' output over the term of the ppas. however, no single customer accounted for 10% (10%) or more of total revenue in 2017, 2016 or 2015. the cash flows and results of operations of our businesses depend on the credit quality of our customers and the continued ability of our customers and suppliers to meet their obligations under ppas and fuel supply agreements. if a substantial portion of the company's long-term ppas and/or fuel supply were modified or terminated, the company would be adversely affected to the extent that it would be unable to replace such contracts at equally favorable terms. 26. related party transactions certain of our businesses in panama and the dominican republic are partially owned by governments either directly or through state-owned institutions. in the ordinary course of business, these businesses enter into energy purchase and sale transactions, and transmission agreements with other state-owned institutions which are controlled by such governments. at two of our generation businesses in mexico, the offtakers exercise significant influence, but not control, through representation on these businesses' boards of directors. these offtakers are also required to hold a nominal ownership interest in such businesses. in chile, we provide capacity and energy under contractual arrangements to our investment which is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. additionally, the company provides certain support and management services to several of its affiliates under various agreements. the company's consolidated statements of operations included the following transactions with related parties for the periods indicated (in millions):.

the analysis of our depreciation studies. changes in the estimated service lives of our assets and their related depreciation rates are implemented prospectively. under group depreciation, the historical cost (net of salvage) of depreciable property that is retired or replaced in the ordinary course of business is charged to accumulated depreciation and no gain or loss is recognized. the historical cost of certain track assets is estimated using (i) inflation indices published by the bureau of labor statistics and (ii) the estimated useful lives of the assets as determined by our depreciation studies. the indices were selected because they closely correlate with the major costs of the properties comprising the applicable track asset classes. because of the number of estimates inherent in the depreciation and retirement processes and because it is impossible to precisely estimate each of these variables until a group of property is completely retired, we continually monitor the estimated service lives of our assets and the accumulated depreciation associated with each asset class to ensure our depreciation rates are appropriate. in addition, we determine if the recorded amount of accumulated depreciation is deficient (or in excess) of the amount indicated by our depreciation studies. any deficiency (or excess) is amortized as a component of depreciation expense over the remaining service lives of the applicable classes of assets. for retirements of depreciable railroad properties that do not occur in the normal course of business, a gain or loss may be recognized if the retirement meets each of the following three conditions: (i) is unusual, (ii) is material in amount, and (iii) varies significantly from the retirement profile identified through our depreciation studies. a gain or loss is recognized in other income when we sell land or dispose of assets that are not part of our railroad operations. when we purchase an asset, we capitalize all costs necessary to make the asset ready for its intended use. however, many of our assets are self-constructed. a large portion of our capital expenditures is for replacement of existing track assets and other road properties, which is typically performed by our employees, and for track line expansion and other capacity projects. costs that are directly attributable to capital projects (including overhead costs) are capitalized. direct costs that are capitalized as part of self- constructed assets include material, labor, and work equipment. indirect costs are capitalized if they clearly relate to the construction of the asset. general and administrative expenditures are expensed as incurred. normal repairs and maintenance are also expensed as incurred, while costs incurred that extend the useful life of an asset, improve the safety of our operations or improve operating efficiency are capitalized. these costs are allocated using appropriate statistical bases. total expense for repairs and maintenance incurred was $2.4 billion for 2014, $2.3 billion for 2013, and $2.1 billion for 2012. assets held under capital leases are recorded at the lower of the net present value of the minimum lease payments or the fair value of the leased asset at the inception of the lease. amortization expense is computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the period of the related lease. 13. accounts payable and other current liabilities dec. 31, dec. 31, millions 2014 2013.

december 31, 2011, the company recognized a decrease of $3 million of tax-related interest and penalties and had approximately $16 million accrued at december 31, 2011. note 12 derivative instruments and fair value measurements the company is exposed to certain market risks such as changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and commodity prices, which exist as a part of its ongoing business operations. management uses derivative financial and commodity instruments, including futures, options, and swaps, where appropriate, to manage these risks. instruments used as hedges must be effective at reducing the risk associated with the exposure being hedged and must be designated as a hedge at the inception of the contract. the company designates derivatives as cash flow hedges, fair value hedges, net investment hedges, and uses other contracts to reduce volatility in interest rates, foreign currency and commodities. as a matter of policy, the company does not engage in trading or speculative hedging transactions. total notional amounts of the company 2019s derivative instruments as of december 28, 2013 and december 29, 2012 were as follows:.
(millions) | 2013 | 2012
foreign currency exchange contracts | $517 | $570
interest rate contracts | 2400 | 2150
commodity contracts | 361 | 320

tissue pulp due to strong market demand, partic- ularly from asia. average sales price realizations improved significantly in 2007, principally reflecting higher average prices for softwood, hardwood and fluff pulp. operating earnings in 2007 were $104 mil- lion compared with $48 million in 2006 and $37 mil- lion in 2005. the benefits from higher sales price realizations were partially offset by increased input costs for energy, chemicals and freight. entering the first quarter of 2008, demand for market pulp remains strong, and average sales price realiza- tions should increase slightly. however, input costs for energy, chemicals and freight are expected to be higher, and increased spending is anticipated for planned mill maintenance outages. industrial packaging demand for industrial packaging products is closely correlated with non-durable industrial goods pro- duction, as well as with demand for processed foods, poultry, meat and agricultural products. in addition to prices and volumes, major factors affecting the profitability of industrial packaging are raw material and energy costs, freight costs, manufacturing effi- ciency and product mix. industrial packaging net sales for 2007 increased 6% (6%) to $5.2 billion compared with $4.9 bil- lion in 2006, and 13% (13%) compared with $4.6 billion in 2005. operating profits in 2007 were 26% (26%) higher than in 2006 and more than double 2005 earnings. bene- fits from improved price realizations ($147 million), sales volume increases net of increased lack of order downtime ($3 million), a more favorable mix ($31 million), strong mill and converting operations ($33 million) and other costs ($47 million) were partially offset by the effects of higher raw material costs ($76 million) and higher freight costs ($18 million). in addition, a gain of $13 million was recognized in 2006 related to a sale of property in spain and costs of $52 million were incurred in 2007 related to the conversion of the paper machine at pensacola to production of lightweight linerboard. the segment took 165000 tons of downtime in 2007 which included 16000 tons of market-related downtime compared with 135000 tons of downtime in 2006 of which none was market-related. industrial packaging in millions 2007 2006 2005.

north american industrial packaging net sales for 2007 were $3.9 billion, compared with $3.7 billion in 2006 and $3.6 billion in 2005. operating profits in 2007 were $407 million, up from $327 mil- lion in 2006 and $170 million in 2005. containerboard shipments were higher in 2007 compared with 2006, including production from the paper machine at pensacola that was converted to lightweight linerboard during 2007. average sales price realizations were significantly higher than in 2006 reflecting price increases announced early in 2006 and in the third quarter of 2007. margins improved reflecting stronger export demand. manu- facturing performance was strong, although costs associated with planned mill maintenance outages were higher due to timing of outages. raw material costs for wood, energy, chemicals and recycled fiber increased significantly. operating results for 2007 were also unfavorably impacted by $52 million of costs associated with the conversion and startup of the pensacola paper machine. u.s. converting sales volumes were slightly lower in 2007 compared with 2006 reflecting softer customer box demand. earnings improvement in 2007 bene- fited from the realization of box price increases announced in early 2006 and late 2007. favorable manufacturing operations and higher sales prices for waste fiber more than offset significantly higher raw material and freight costs. looking ahead to the first quarter of 2008, sales volumes are expected to increase slightly, and results should benefit from a full-quarter impact of the price increases announced in the third quarter of 2007. however, additional mill maintenance outages are planned for the first quarter, and freight and input costs are expected to rise, particularly for wood and energy. manufacturing operations should be favorable compared with the fourth quarter. european industrial packaging net sales for 2007 were $1.1 billion, up from $1.0 billion in 2006 and $880 million in 2005. sales volumes were about flat as early stronger demand in the industrial segment weakened in the second half of the year. operating profits in 2007 were $88 million compared with $69 million in 2006 and $53 million in 2005. sales margins improved reflecting increased sales prices for boxes. conversion costs were favorable as the result of manufacturing improvement programs. entering the first quarter of 2008, sales volumes should be strong seasonally across all regions as the winter fruit and vegetable season continues. profit margins, however, are expected to be somewhat lower..
in the year of 2007, what was the amount of the industrial packaging sales that was from europe, in millions? 1100.0
and what was the total of those sales? 5245.0
what percentage, then, of this total did that amount represent?

included in the corporate and consumer loan tables above are purchased distressed loans, which are loans that have evidenced significant credit deterioration subsequent to origination but prior to acquisition by citigroup. in accordance with sop 03-3, the difference between the total expected cash flows for these loans and the initial recorded investments is recognized in income over the life of the loans using a level yield. accordingly, these loans have been excluded from the impaired loan information presented above. in addition, per sop 03-3, subsequent decreases to the expected cash flows for a purchased distressed loan require a build of an allowance so the loan retains its level yield. however, increases in the expected cash flows are first recognized as a reduction of any previously established allowance and then recognized as income prospectively over the remaining life of the loan by increasing the loan 2019s level yield. where the expected cash flows cannot be reliably estimated, the purchased distressed loan is accounted for under the cost recovery method. the carrying amount of the company 2019s purchased distressed loan portfolio at december 31, 2010 was $392 million, net of an allowance of $77 million as of december 31, 2010. the changes in the accretable yield, related allowance and carrying amount net of accretable yield for 2010 are as follows: in millions of dollars accretable carrying amount of loan receivable allowance.

impairment the following table presents net unrealized losses on securities available for sale as of december 31:.
(in millions) | 2011 | 2010
fair value | $99832 | $81881
amortized cost | 100013 | 82329
net unrealized loss pre-tax | $-181 (181) | $-448 (448)
net unrealized loss after-tax | $-113 (113) | $-270 (270)
the net unrealized amounts presented above excluded the remaining net unrealized losses related to reclassifications of securities available for sale to securities held to maturity. these unrealized losses related to reclassifications totaled $303 million, or $189 million after-tax, and $523 million, or $317 million after-tax, as of december 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, or oci. refer to note 12 to the consolidated financial statements included under item 8. the decline in these remaining after-tax unrealized losses related to reclassifications from december 31, 2010 to december 31, 2011 resulted primarily from amortization. we conduct periodic reviews of individual securities to assess whether other-than-temporary impairment exists. to the extent that other-than-temporary impairment is identified, the impairment is broken into a credit component and a non-credit component. the credit component is recorded in our consolidated statement of income, and the non-credit component is recorded in oci to the extent that we do not intend to sell the security. our assessment of other-than-temporary impairment involves an evaluation, more fully described in note 3, of economic and security-specific factors. such factors are based on estimates, derived by management, which contemplate current market conditions and security-specific performance. to the extent that market conditions are worse than management 2019s expectations, other-than-temporary impairment could increase, in particular, the credit component that would be recorded in our consolidated statement of income. given the exposure of our investment securities portfolio, particularly mortgage- and asset-backed securities, to residential mortgage and other consumer credit risks, the performance of the u.s. housing market is a significant driver of the portfolio 2019s credit performance. as such, our assessment of other-than-temporary impairment relies to a significant extent on our estimates of trends in national housing prices. generally, indices that measure trends in national housing prices are published in arrears. as of september 30, 2011, national housing prices, according to the case-shiller national home price index, had declined by approximately 31.3% (31.3%) peak-to-current. overall, management 2019s expectation, for purposes of its evaluation of other-than-temporary impairment as of december 31, 2011, was that housing prices would decline by approximately 35% (35%) peak-to-trough. the performance of certain mortgage products and vintages of securities continues to deteriorate. in addition, management continues to believe that housing prices will decline further as indicated above. the combination of these factors has led to an increase in management 2019s overall loss expectations. our investment portfolio continues to be sensitive to management 2019s estimates of future cumulative losses. ultimately, other-than- temporary impairment is based on specific cusip-level detailed analysis of the unique characteristics of each security. in addition, we perform sensitivity analysis across each significant product type within the non-agency u.s. residential mortgage-backed portfolio. we estimate, for example, that other-than-temporary impairment of the investment portfolio could increase by approximately $10 million to $50 million, if national housing prices were to decline by 37% (37%) to 39% (39%) peak-to-trough, compared to management 2019s expectation of 35% (35%) described above. this sensitivity estimate is based on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the level of housing prices and the timing of defaults. to the extent that such factors differ substantially from management 2019s current expectations, resulting loss estimates may differ materially from those stated. excluding the securities for which other-than-temporary impairment was recorded in 2011, management considers the aggregate decline in fair value of the remaining.
what was the total of unrealized losses related to reclassifications in 2011, before tax? 303.0
and what was it after tax? 189.0
what was, then, the impact of the tax on that total?

(a) rea group recognized a gain of $29 million resulting from the revaluation of its previously held equity interest in iproperty during the fiscal year ended june 30, 2016. (see note 3 to the consolidated financial statements). (b) the company recorded write-offs and impairments of certain investments in the fiscal years ended june 30, 2016 and 2015. these write-offs and impairments were taken either as a result of the deteriorating financial position of the investee or due to an other-than-temporary impairment resulting from sustained losses and limited prospects for recovery. (see note 6 to the consolidated financial statements.) (c) in august 2014, rea group completed the sale of a minority interest held in marketable securities for total cash consideration of $104 million. as a result of the sale, rea group recognized a pre-tax gain of $29 million, which was reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income and included in other, net in the statement of operations. income tax benefit (expense) 2014the company 2019s income tax benefit and effective tax rate for the fiscal year ended june 30, 2016 were $54 million and (30% (30%)), respectively, as compared to an income tax expense and effective tax rate of $185 million and 34% (34%), respectively, for fiscal 2015. for the fiscal years ended june 30, 2016 the company recorded a tax benefit of $54 million on pre-tax income of $181 million resulting in an effective tax rate that was lower than the u.s. statutory tax. the lower tax rate was primarily due to a tax benefit of approximately $106 million related to the release of previously established valuation allowances related to certain u.s. federal net operating losses and state deferred tax assets. this benefit was recognized in conjunction with management 2019s plan to dispose of the company 2019s digital education business in the first quarter of fiscal 2016, as the company now expects to generate sufficient u.s. taxable income to utilize these deferred tax assets prior to expiration. in addition, the effective tax rate was also impacted by the $29 million non-taxable gain resulting from the revaluation of rea group 2019s previously held equity interest in iproperty. for the fiscal year ended june 30, 2015, the company 2019s effective tax rate was lower than the u.s. statutory tax rate primarily due to the impact from foreign operations which are subject to lower tax rates, partially offset by the impact of nondeductible items and changes in our accrued liabilities for uncertain tax positions. (see note 18 to the consolidated financial statements)..

earnings for the first quarter of 2007 are expected to be lower than in the fourth quarter of 2006. containerboard export sales volumes are expected to decline due to scheduled first-quarter main- tenance outages. sales volumes for u.s. converted products will be higher due to more shipping days, but expected softer demand should cause the ship- ments per day to decrease. average sales price real- izations are expected to be comparable to fourth- quarter averages. an additional containerboard price increase was announced in january that is expected to be fully realized in the second quarter. costs for wood, energy, starch, adhesives and freight are expected to increase. manufacturing costs will be higher due to costs associated with scheduled main- tenance outages in the containerboard mills. euro- pean container operating results are expected to improve as seasonally higher sales volumes and improved margins more than offset slightly higher manufacturing costs. consumer packaging demand and pricing for consumer packaging prod- ucts correlate closely with consumer spending and general economic activity. in addition to prices and volumes, major factors affecting the profitability of consumer packaging are raw material and energy costs, manufacturing efficiency and product mix. consumer packaging net sales increased 9% (9%) compared with 2005 and 7% (7%) compared with 2004. operating profits rose 8% (8%) from 2005, but declined 15% (15%) from 2004 levels. compared with 2005, higher sales volumes ($9 million), improved average sales price realizations ($33 million), reduced lack-of-order downtime ($18 million), and favorable mill oper- ations ($25 million) were partially offset by higher raw material costs ($19 million) and freight costs ($21 million), unfavorable mix ($14 million) and other costs ($21 million). consumer packaging in millions 2006 2005 2004.

coated paperboard net sales of $1.5 billion in 2006 were higher than $1.3 billion in 2005 and $1.1 billion in 2004. sales volumes increased in 2006 compared with 2005, particularly in the folding car- ton board segment, reflecting improved demand for coated paperboard products. in 2006, our coated paperboard mills took 4000 tons of lack-of-order downtime, compared with 82000 tons of lack-of-order downtime in 2005. average sales price realizations were substantially improved in the cur- rent year, principally for folding carton board and cupstock board. operating profits were 51% (51%) higher in 2006 than in 2005, and 7% (7%) better than in 2004. the impact of the higher sales prices along with more favorable manufacturing operations due to strong performance at the mills more than offset higher input costs for energy and freight. foodservice net sales declined to $396 million in 2006, compared with $437 million in 2005 and $480 million in 2004, due principally to the sale of the jackson, tennessee plant in july 2005. sales vol- umes were lower in 2006 than in 2005, although average sales prices were higher due to the realiza- tion of price increases implemented during 2005. operating profits for 2006 improved over 2005 and 2004 levels largely due to the benefits from higher sales prices. raw material costs for bleached board were higher than in 2005, but manufacturing costs were more favorable due to increased productivity and reduced waste. shorewood net sales of $670 million were down from $691 million in 2005 and $687 million in 2004. sales volumes in 2006 were down from 2005 levels due to weak demand in the home entertainment and consumer products markets, although demand was strong in the tobacco segment. average sales prices for the year were lower than in 2005. operating prof- its were down significantly from both 2005 and 2004 due to the decline in sales, particularly in the higher margin home entertainment markets, higher raw material costs for bleached board and certain inventory adjustment costs. entering 2007, coated paperboard first-quarter sales volumes are expected to be seasonally stronger than in the fourth quarter 2006 for folding carton board and bristols. average sales price realizations are expected to rise with a price increase announced in january. it is anticipated that manufacturing costs will improve versus an unfavorable fourth quarter. foodservice earnings for the first quarter of 2007 are expected to decline due to seasonally weaker vol- ume. however, sales price realizations will be slightly higher, and the seasonal switch to hot cup contain- ers will have a favorable impact on product mix. shorewood sales volumes for the first quarter of 2007 are expected to seasonally decline, but the earnings impact will be partially offset by pricing improvements and an improved product mix. distribution our distribution business, principally represented by our xpedx business, markets a diverse array of products and supply chain services to customers in.

abiomed, inc. and subsidiaries notes to consolidated financial statements 2014 (continued) (7) commitments and contingencies the company applies the disclosure provisions of fin no. 45, guarantor 2019s accounting and disclosure requirements for guarantees, including guarantees of indebtedness of others, and interpretation of fasb statements no. 5, 57 and 107 and rescission of fasb interpretation no. 34 (fin no. 45) to its agreements that contain guarantee or indemnification clauses. these disclosure provisions expand those required by sfas no. 5 accounting for contingencies, by requiring that guarantors disclose certain types of guarantees, even if the likelihood of requiring the guarantor 2019s performance is remote. the following is a description of arrangements in which the company is a guarantor. product warranties 2014the company routinely accrues for estimated future warranty costs on its product sales at the time of sale. the ab5000 and bvs products are subject to rigorous regulation and quality standards. operating results could be adversely effected if the actual cost of product failures exceeds the estimated warranty provision. patent indemnifications 2014in many sales transactions, the company indemnifies customers against possible claims of patent infringement caused by the company 2019s products. the indemnifications contained within sales contracts usually do not include limits on the claims. the company has never incurred any material costs to defend lawsuits or settle patent infringement claims related to sales transactions. under the provisions of fin no. 45, intellectual property indemnifications require disclosure only. as of march 31, 2006, the company had entered into leases for its facilities, including its primary operating facility in danvers, massachusetts, with terms through fiscal 2010. the danvers lease may be extended, at the company 2019s option, for two successive additional periods of five years each with monthly rent charges to be determined based on then current fair rental values. the company 2019s lease for its aachen location expires in august 2008 unless an option to extend for an additional four years is exercised by the company. in december 2005 we closed our office facility in the netherlands, recording a charge of approximately $58000 for the remaining lease term. total rent expense under these leases, included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations approximated $821000, $824000 and $1262000 for the fiscal years ended march 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006, respectively. future minimum lease payments under all significant non-cancelable operating leases as of march 31, 2006 are approximately as follows (in thousands): fiscal year ending march 31, operating leases.

rental expense for operating leases was approximately $66.9 million, $57.2 million and $49.0 million during the years ended december 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. in connection with the acquisitions of several businesses, we entered into agreements with several sellers of those businesses, some of whom became stockholders as a result of those acquisitions, for the lease of certain properties used in our operations. typical lease terms under these agreements include an initial term of five years, with three to five five-year renewal options and purchase options at various times throughout the lease periods. we also maintain the right of first refusal concerning the sale of the leased property. lease payments to an employee who became an officer of the company after the acquisition of his business were approximately $1.0 million, $0.9 million and $0.9 million during each of the years ended december 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. we guarantee the residual values of the majority of our truck and equipment operating leases. the residual values decline over the lease terms to a defined percentage of original cost. in the event the lessor does not realize the residual value when a piece of equipment is sold, we would be responsible for a portion of the shortfall. similarly, if the lessor realizes more than the residual value when a piece of equipment is sold, we would be paid the amount realized over the residual value. had we terminated all of our operating leases subject to these guarantees at december 31, 2010, the guaranteed residual value would have totaled approximately $31.4 million. we have not recorded a liability for the guaranteed residual value of equipment under operating leases as the recovery on disposition of the equipment under the leases is expected to approximate the guaranteed residual value. litigation and related contingencies in december 2005 and may 2008, ford global technologies, llc filed complaints with the international trade commission against us and others alleging that certain aftermarket parts imported into the u.s. infringed on ford design patents. the parties settled these matters in april 2009 pursuant to a settlement arrangement that expires in september 2011. pursuant to the settlement, we (and our designees) became the sole distributor in the u.s. of aftermarket automotive parts that correspond to ford collision parts that are covered by a u.s. design patent. we have paid ford an upfront fee for these rights and will pay a royalty for each such part we sell. the amortization of the upfront fee and the royalty expenses are reflected in cost of goods sold on the accompanying consolidated statements of income. we also have certain other contingencies resulting from litigation, claims and other commitments and are subject to a variety of environmental and pollution control laws and regulations incident to the ordinary course of business. we currently expect that the resolution of such contingencies will not materially affect our financial position, results of operations or cash flows..

oneok partners 2019 commodity price risk is estimated as a hypothetical change in the price of ngls, crude oil and natural gas at december 31, 2008, excluding the effects of hedging and assuming normal operating conditions. oneok partners 2019 condensate sales are based on the price of crude oil. oneok partners estimates the following: 2022 a $0.01 per gallon decrease in the composite price of ngls would decrease annual net margin by approximately $1.2 million; 2022 a $1.00 per barrel decrease in the price of crude oil would decrease annual net margin by approximately $1.0 million; and 2022 a $0.10 per mmbtu decrease in the price of natural gas would decrease annual net margin by approximately $0.6 million. the above estimates of commodity price risk do not include any effects on demand for its services that might be caused by, or arise in conjunction with, price changes. for example, a change in the gross processing spread may cause a change in the amount of ethane extracted from the natural gas stream, impacting gathering and processing margins, ngl exchange revenues, natural gas deliveries, and ngl volumes shipped and fractionated. oneok partners is also exposed to commodity price risk primarily as a result of ngls in storage, the relative values of the various ngl products to each other, the relative value of ngls to natural gas and the relative value of ngl purchases at one location and sales at another location, known as basis risk. oneok partners utilizes fixed-price physical forward contracts to reduce earnings volatility related to ngl price fluctuations. oneok partners has not entered into any financial instruments with respect to its ngl marketing activities. in addition, oneok partners is exposed to commodity price risk as its natural gas interstate and intrastate pipelines collect natural gas from its customers for operations or as part of its fee for services provided. when the amount of natural gas consumed in operations by these pipelines differs from the amount provided by its customers, the pipelines must buy or sell natural gas, or store or use natural gas from inventory, which exposes oneok partners to commodity price risk. at december 31, 2008, there were no hedges in place with respect to natural gas price risk from oneok partners 2019 natural gas pipeline business. distribution our distribution segment uses derivative instruments to hedge the cost of anticipated natural gas purchases during the winter heating months to protect their customers from upward volatility in the market price of natural gas. gains or losses associated with these derivative instruments are included in, and recoverable through, the monthly purchased gas cost mechanism. energy services our energy services segment is exposed to commodity price risk, basis risk and price volatility arising from natural gas in storage, requirement contracts, asset management contracts and index-based purchases and sales of natural gas at various market locations. we minimize the volatility of our exposure to commodity price risk through the use of derivative instruments, which, under certain circumstances, are designated as cash flow or fair value hedges. we are also exposed to commodity price risk from fixed-price purchases and sales of natural gas, which we hedge with derivative instruments. both the fixed-price purchases and sales and related derivatives are recorded at fair value. fair value component of the energy marketing and risk management assets and liabilities - the following table sets forth the fair value component of the energy marketing and risk management assets and liabilities, excluding $21.0 million of net liabilities from derivative instruments declared as either fair value or cash flow hedges..

impairment net unrealized losses on securities available for sale were as follows as of december 31:.
(in millions) | 2009 | 2008
fair value | $72699 | $54163
amortized cost | 74843 | 60786
net unrealized loss pre-tax | $-2144 (2144) | $-6623 (6623)
net unrealized loss after-tax | $-1316 (1316) | $-4057 (4057)
the above net unrealized loss amounts at december 31, 2009 and december 31, 2008 excluded the remaining net unrealized loss of $1.01 billion, or $635 million after-tax, and $2.27 billion, or $1.39 billion after- tax, respectively, related to reclassifications of securities available for sale to securities held to maturity. these after-tax amounts are recorded in other comprehensive income. the decline in the remaining after-tax unrealized loss amounts related to transferred securities resulted from amortization and from the recognition of losses from other-than-temporary impairment on certain of the securities. we conduct periodic reviews of individual securities to assess whether other-than-temporary impairment exists. to the extent that other-than-temporary impairment is identified, the impairment is broken into a credit component and a non-credit component. the credit component is recognized in our consolidated statement of income, and the non-credit component is recognized in other comprehensive income to the extent that management does not intend to sell the security (see note 3 of the notes to consolidated financial statements included under item 8). the assessment of other-than-temporary impairment involves an evaluation of economic and security- specific factors, which are more fully described in note 3. such factors are based upon estimates, derived by management, which contemplate current market conditions and security-specific performance. to the extent that market conditions are worse than management 2019s expectations, other-than-temporary impairment could increase, in particular the credit component that would be recognized in our consolidated statement of income. national housing prices, according to the case-shiller national hpi, have declined to date approximately 30% (30%) peak-to-current. management currently estimates that national housing prices will continue to decline and bottom out during the second half of 2010, consistent with a peak-to-trough housing price decline of approximately 37% (37%). as an indication of the sensitivity of our portfolio with respect to our more significant assumptions underlying our assessment of impairment, if we were to increase our default estimates to 110% (110%) of management 2019s current expectations with a corresponding slowing of prepayment speeds to 90% (90%) of management 2019s current expectations, credit-related other-than-temporary impairment could increase by approximately $120 million to $125 million, which impairment would be recorded in our consolidated statement of income. excluding the securities for which other-than-temporary impairment was recorded, management considers the aggregate decline in fair value of the remaining securities and the resulting net unrealized losses to be temporary and not the result of any material changes in the credit characteristics of the securities. additional information about our assessment of impairment is provided in note 3 of the notes to consolidated financial statements included under item 8..

entergy texas, inc. management's financial discussion and analysis fuel and purchased power expenses increased primarily due to an increase in power purchases as a result of the purchased power agreements between entergy gulf states louisiana and entergy texas and an increase in the average market prices of purchased power and natural gas, substantially offset by a decrease in deferred fuel expense as a result of decreased recovery from customers of fuel costs. other regulatory charges increased primarily due to an increase of $6.9 million in the recovery of bond expenses related to the securitization bonds. the recovery became effective july 2007. see note 5 to the financial statements for additional information regarding the securitization bonds. 2007 compared to 2006 net revenue consists of operating revenues net of: 1) fuel, fuel-related expenses, and gas purchased for resale, 2) purchased power expenses, and 3) other regulatory charges. following is an analysis of the change in net revenue comparing 2007 to 2006. amount (in millions).
- | amount (in millions)
2006 net revenue | $403.3
purchased power capacity | 13.1
securitization transition charge | 9.9
volume/weather | 9.7
transmission revenue | 6.1
base revenue | 2.6
other | -2.4 (2.4)
2007 net revenue | $442.3
the purchased power capacity variance is due to changes in the purchased power capacity costs included in the calculation in 2007 compared to 2006 used to bill generation costs between entergy texas and entergy gulf states louisiana. the securitization transition charge variance is due to the issuance of securitization bonds. as discussed above, in june 2007, egsrf i, a company wholly-owned and consolidated by entergy texas, issued securitization bonds and with the proceeds purchased from entergy texas the transition property, which is the right to recover from customers through a transition charge amounts sufficient to service the securitization bonds. see note 5 to the financial statements herein for details of the securitization bond issuance. the volume/weather variance is due to increased electricity usage on billed retail sales, including the effects of more favorable weather in 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. the increase is also due to an increase in usage during the unbilled sales period. retail electricity usage increased a total of 139 gwh in all sectors. see "critical accounting estimates" below and note 1 to the financial statements for further discussion of the accounting for unbilled revenues. the transmission revenue variance is due to an increase in rates effective june 2007 and new transmission customers in late 2006. the base revenue variance is due to the transition to competition rider that began in march 2006. refer to note 2 to the financial statements for further discussion of the rate increase. gross operating revenues, fuel and purchased power expenses, and other regulatory charges gross operating revenues decreased primarily due to a decrease of $179 million in fuel cost recovery revenues due to lower fuel rates and fuel refunds. the decrease was partially offset by the $39 million increase in net revenue described above and an increase of $44 million in wholesale revenues, including $30 million from the system agreement cost equalization payments from entergy arkansas. the receipt of such payments is being.

the following table shows the impact of catastrophe losses and related reinstatement premiums and the impact of prior period development on our consolidated loss and loss expense ratio for the periods indicated..
- | 2010 | 2009 | 2008
loss and loss expense ratio as reported | 59.2% (59.2%) | 58.8% (58.8%) | 60.6% (60.6%)
catastrophe losses and related reinstatement premiums | (3.2)% (%) | (1.2)% (%) | (4.7)% (%)

loss and loss expense ratio adjusted | 60.3% (60.3%) | 61.7% (61.7%) | 62.7% (62.7%)
we recorded net pre-tax catastrophe losses of $366 million in 2010 compared with net pre-tax catastrophe losses of $137 million and $567 million in 2009 and 2008, respectively. the catastrophe losses for 2010 were primarily related to weather- related events in the u.s., earthquakes in chile, mexico, and new zealand, and storms in australia and europe. the catastrophe losses for 2009 were primarily related to an earthquake in asia, floods in europe, several weather-related events in the u.s., and a european windstorm. for 2008, the catastrophe losses were primarily related to hurricanes gustav and ike. prior period development arises from changes to loss estimates recognized in the current year that relate to loss reserves first reported in previous calendar years and excludes the effect of losses from the development of earned premium from pre- vious accident years. we experienced $503 million of net favorable prior period development in our p&c segments in 2010. this compares with net favorable prior period development in our p&c segments of $576 million and $814 million in 2009 and 2008, respectively. refer to 201cprior period development 201d for more information. the adjusted loss and loss expense ratio declined in 2010, compared with 2009, primarily due to the impact of the crop settlements, non-recurring premium adjustment and the reduction in assumed loss portfolio business, which is written at higher loss ratios than other types of business. our policy acquisition costs include commissions, premium taxes, underwriting, and other costs that vary with, and are primarily related to, the production of premium. administrative expenses include all other operating costs. our policy acquis- ition cost ratio increased in 2010, compared with 2009. the increase was primarily related to the impact of crop settlements, which generated higher profit-share commissions and a lower adjustment to net premiums earned, as well as the impact of reinstatement premiums expensed in connection with catastrophe activity and changes in business mix. our administrative expense ratio increased in 2010, primarily due to the impact of the crop settlements, reinstatement premiums expensed, and increased costs in our international operations. although the crop settlements generate minimal administrative expenses, they resulted in lower adjustment to net premiums earned in 2010, compared with 2009. administrative expenses in 2010, were partially offset by higher net results generated by our third party claims administration business, esis, the results of which are included within our administrative expenses. esis generated $85 million in net results in 2010, compared with $26 million in 2009. the increase is primarily from non-recurring sources. our policy acquisition cost ratio was stable in 2009, compared with 2008, as increases in our combined insurance operations were offset by more favorable final crop year settlement of profit share commissions. administrative expenses increased in 2009, primarily due to the inclusion of administrative expenses related to combined insurance for the full year and costs associated with new product expansion in our domestic retail operation and in our personal lines business. our effective income tax rate, which we calculate as income tax expense divided by income before income tax, is depend- ent upon the mix of earnings from different jurisdictions with various tax rates. a change in the geographic mix of earnings would change the effective income tax rate. our effective income tax rate was 15 percent in 2010, compared with 17 percent and 24 percent in 2009 and 2008, respectively. the decrease in our effective income tax rate in 2010, was primarily due to a change in the mix of earnings to lower tax-paying jurisdictions, a decrease in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits which was the result of a settlement with the u.s. internal revenue service appeals division regarding federal tax returns for the years 2002-2004, and the recognition of a non-taxable gain related to the acquisition of rain and hail. the 2009 year included a reduction of a deferred tax valuation allowance related to investments. for 2008, our effective income tax rate was adversely impacted by a change in mix of earnings due to the impact of catastrophe losses in lower tax-paying jurisdictions. prior period development the favorable prior period development, inclusive of the life segment, of $512 million during 2010 was the net result of sev- eral underlying favorable and adverse movements. with respect to ace 2019s crop business, ace regularly receives reports from its managing general agent (mga) relating to the previous crop year (s) in subsequent calendar quarters and this typically results.

(a) amounts represent the expected cash payments of our long-term debt and do not include $0.3 million for capital leases or $72.0 million for net unamortized debt issuance costs, premiums and discounts, and fair value adjustments. (b) operating leases represents the minimum rental commitments under non-cancelable operating leases. (c) the majority of the purchase obligations represent commitments for raw material and packaging to be utilized in the normal course of business and for consumer marketing spending commitments that support our brands. for purposes of this table, arrangements are considered purchase obligations if a contract specifies all significant terms, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased, a pricing structure, and approximate timing of the transaction. most arrangements are cancelable without a significant penalty and with short notice (usually 30 days). any amounts reflected on the consolidated balance sheets as accounts payable and accrued liabilities are excluded from the table above. (d) the fair value of our foreign exchange, equity, commodity, and grain derivative contracts with a payable position to the counterparty was $17.3 million as of may 26, 2019, based on fair market values as of that date. future changes in market values will impact the amount of cash ultimately paid or received to settle those instruments in the future. other long-term obligations mainly consist of liabilities for accrued compensation and benefits, including the underfunded status of certain of our defined benefit pension, other postretirement benefit, and postemployment benefit plans, and miscellaneous liabilities. we expect to pay approximately $20 million of benefits from our unfunded postemployment benefit plans and approximately $18 million of deferred compensation in fiscal 2020. we are unable to reliably estimate the amount of these payments beyond fiscal 2020. as of may 26, 2019, our total liability for uncertain tax positions and accrued interest and penalties was $165.1 million. significant accounting estimates for a complete description of our significant accounting policies, please see note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in item 8 of this report. our significant accounting estimates are those that have a meaningful impact on the reporting of our financial condition and results of operations. these estimates include our accounting for promotional expenditures, valuation of long-lived assets, intangible assets, redeemable interest, stock-based compensation, income taxes, and defined benefit pension, other postretirement benefit, and postemployment benefit plans. revenue recognition our revenues are reported net of variable consideration and consideration payable to our customers, including trade promotion, consumer coupon redemption and other costs, including estimated allowances for returns, unsalable product, and prompt pay discounts. trade promotions are recorded using significant judgment of estimated participation and performance levels for offered programs at the time of sale. differences between estimated expenses and actual costs are recognized as a change in management estimate in a subsequent period. our accrued trade liabilities were $484 million as of may 26, 2019, and $500 million as of may 27, 2018. because these amounts are significant, if our estimates are inaccurate we would have to make adjustments in subsequent periods that could have a significant effect on our results of operations..

balance at end of year | $47.0 | $70.1 | $72.0
during 2015, we settled tax matters in various states and puerto rico which reduced our gross unrecognized tax benefits by $13.9 million. during 2014, we settled tax matters in various jurisdictions and reduced our gross unrecognized tax benefits by $1.5 million. during 2013, we settled with the irs appeals division and the joint committee on taxation our 2009 and 2010 tax years. the resolution of these tax periods in addition to various state tax resolutions during the year reduced our gross unrecognized tax benefits by $20.7 million. included in our gross unrecognized tax benefits as of december 31, 2015 and 2014 are $30.5 million and $45.6 million of unrecognized tax benefits (net of the federal benefit on state matters) that, if recognized, would affect our effective income tax rate in future periods. we recognize interest and penalties as incurred within the provision for income taxes in our consolidated statements of income. related to the unrecognized tax benefits previously noted, we recorded interest expense of approximately $1.2 million during 2015 and, in total as of december 31, 2015, have recognized a liability for penalties of $0.5 million and interest of $10.3 million. during 2014, we accrued interest of approximately $1.5 million and, in total as of december 31, 2014, had recognized a liability for penalties of $0.5 million and interest of $18.7 million. during 2013, we accrued interest of approximately $1.2 million and, in total as of december 31, 2013, had recognized a liability for penalties of $0.5 million and interest of $17.0 million. gross unrecognized benefits that we expect to settle in the following twelve months are in the range of $0 to $10 million; however, it is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits may either increase or decrease in the next twelve months. we are currently under examination or administrative review by state and local taxing authorities for various tax years. these state audits are ongoing. we believe the recorded liabilities for uncertain tax positions are adequate. however, a significant assessment against us in excess of the liabilities recorded could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows..

we recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery of product has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. for our company, this means that revenue is recognized when title and risk of loss is transferred to our customers. title transfers to our customers upon shipment or upon receipt at the customer's location as determined by the sales terms for each transaction. the company estimates the cost of sales returns based on historical experience, and these estimates are normally immaterial. 2022 goodwill and non-amortizable intangible assets valuation - we test goodwill and non-amortizable intangible assets for impairment annually or more frequently if events occur that would warrant such review. we perform our annual impairment analysis in the first quarter of each year. while the company has the option to perform a qualitative assessment for both goodwill and non-amortizable intangible assets to determine if it is more likely than not that an impairment exists, the company elects to perform the quantitative assessment for our annual impairment analysis. the impairment analysis involves comparing the fair value of each reporting unit or non-amortizable intangible asset to the carrying value. if the carrying value exceeds the fair value, goodwill or a non-amortizable intangible asset is considered impaired. to determine the fair value of goodwill, we primarily use a discounted cash flow model, supported by the market approach using earnings multiples of comparable global and local companies within the tobacco industry. at december 31, 2015, the carrying value of our goodwill was $7.4 billion, which is related to ten reporting units, each of which is comprised of a group of markets with similar economic characteristics. the estimated fair value of our ten reporting units exceeded the carrying value as of december 31, 2015. to determine the fair value of non-amortizable intangible assets, we primarily use a discounted cash flow model applying the relief-from-royalty method. we concluded that the fair value of our non-amortizable intangible assets exceeded the carrying value, and any reasonable movement in the assumptions would not result in an impairment. these discounted cash flow models include management assumptions relevant for forecasting operating cash flows, which are subject to changes in business conditions, such as volumes and prices, costs to produce, discount rates and estimated capital needs. management considers historical experience and all available information at the time the fair values are estimated, and we believe these assumptions are consistent with the assumptions a hypothetical marketplace participant would use. since the march 28, 2008, spin-off from altria, we have not recorded a charge to earnings for an impairment of goodwill or non-amortizable intangible assets. 2022 marketing and advertising costs - we incur certain costs to support our products through programs which include advertising, marketing, consumer engagement and trade promotions. the costs of our advertising and marketing programs are expensed in accordance with u.s. gaap. recognition of the cost related to our consumer engagement and trade promotion programs contain uncertainties due to the judgment required in estimating the potential performance and compliance for each program. for volume-based incentives provided to customers, management continually assesses and estimates, by customer, the likelihood of the customer achieving the specified targets and records the reduction of revenue as the sales are made. for other trade promotions, management relies on estimated utilization rates that have been developed from historical experience. changes in the assumptions used in estimating the cost of any individual marketing program would not result in a material change in our financial position, results of operations or operating cash flows. we have not made any material changes in the accounting methodology used to estimate our marketing programs during the past three years. 2022 employee benefit plans - as discussed in item 8, note 13. benefit plans to our consolidated financial statements, we provide a range of benefits to our employees and retired employees, including pensions, postretirement health care and postemployment benefits (primarily severance). we record annual amounts relating to these plans based on calculations specified by u.s. gaap. these calculations include various actuarial assumptions, such as discount rates, assumed rates of return on plan assets, compensation increases, mortality, turnover rates and health care cost trend rates. we review actuarial assumptions on an annual basis and make modifications to the assumptions based on current rates and trends when it is deemed appropriate to do so. as permitted by u.s. gaap, any effect of the modifications is generally amortized over future periods. we believe that the assumptions utilized in calculating our obligations under these plans are reasonable based upon our historical experience and advice from our actuaries. weighted-average discount rate assumptions for pensions and postretirement plans are as follows:.
- | 2015 | 2014
u.s. pension plans | 4.30% (4.30%) | 3.95% (3.95%)
non-u.s. pension plans | 1.68% (1.68%) | 1.92% (1.92%)
postretirement plans | 4.45% (4.45%) | 4.20% (4.20%)
we anticipate that assumption changes, coupled with decreased amortization of deferred losses, will decrease 2016 pre-tax u.s. and non- u.s. pension and postretirement expense to approximately $209 million as compared with approximately $240 million in 2015, excluding.

notes to consolidated financial statements 2014 (continued) in connection with these discover related purchases, we have sold the contractual rights to future commissions on discover transactions to certain of our isos. contractual rights sold totaled $7.6 million during the year ended may 31, 2008 and $1.0 million during fiscal 2009. such sale proceeds are generally collected in installments over periods ranging from three to nine months. during fiscal 2009, we collected $4.4 million of such proceeds, which are included in the proceeds from sale of investment and contractual rights in our consolidated statement of cash flows. we do not recognize gains on these sales of contractual rights at the time of sale. proceeds are deferred and recognized as a reduction of the related commission expense. during fiscal 2009, we recognized $1.2 million of such deferred sales proceeds as other long-term liabilities. other 2008 acquisitions during fiscal 2008, we acquired a majority of the assets of euroenvios money transfer, s.a. and euroenvios conecta, s.l., which we collectively refer to as lfs spain. lfs spain consisted of two privately- held corporations engaged in money transmittal and ancillary services from spain to settlement locations primarily in latin america. the purpose of the acquisition was to further our strategy of expanding our customer base and market share by opening additional branch locations. during fiscal 2008, we acquired a series of money transfer branch locations in the united states. the purpose of these acquisitions was to increase the market presence of our dolex-branded money transfer offering. the following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocations of all these fiscal 2008 business acquisitions (in thousands):.

(1) amounts included represent firm, non-cancelable commitments. debt obligations: at december 31, 2006, the company's long-term debt obligations, including current maturities and unamortized discount and issue costs, totaled $4.1 billion, as compared to $4.0 billion at december 31, 2005. a table of all outstanding long-term debt securities can be found in note 4, ""debt and credit facilities'' to the company's consolidated financial statements. lease obligations: the company owns most of its major facilities, but does lease certain office, factory and warehouse space, land, and information technology and other equipment under principally non-cancelable operating leases. at december 31, 2006, future minimum lease obligations, net of minimum sublease rentals, totaled $2.3 billion. rental expense, net of sublease income, was $241 million in 2006, $250 million in 2005 and $205 million in 2004. purchase obligations: the company has entered into agreements for the purchase of inventory, license of software, promotional agreements, and research and development agreements which are firm commitments and are not cancelable. the longest of these agreements extends through 2015. total payments expected to be made under these agreements total $1.0 billion. commitments under other long-term agreements: the company has entered into certain long-term agreements to purchase software, components, supplies and materials from suppliers. most of the agreements extend for periods of one to three years (three to five years for software). however, generally these agreements do not obligate the company to make any purchases, and many permit the company to terminate the agreement with advance notice (usually ranging from 60 to 180 days). if the company were to terminate these agreements, it generally would be liable for certain termination charges, typically based on work performed and supplier on-hand inventory and raw materials attributable to canceled orders. the company's liability would only arise in the event it terminates the agreements for reasons other than ""cause.'' the company also enters into a number of arrangements for the sourcing of supplies and materials with minimum purchase commitments and take-or-pay obligations. the majority of the minimum purchase obligations under these contracts are over the life of the contract as opposed to a year-by-year take-or-pay. if these agreements were terminated at december 31, 2006, the company's obligation would not have been significant. the company does not anticipate the cancellation of any of these agreements in the future. subsequent to the end of 2006, the company entered into take-or-pay arrangements with suppliers through may 2009 with minimum purchase obligations of $2.2 billion during that period. the company estimates purchases during that period that exceed the minimum obligations. the company outsources certain corporate functions, such as benefit administration and information technology-related services. these contracts are expected to expire in 2013. the total remaining payments under these contracts are approximately $1.3 billion over the remaining seven years; however, these contracts can be%%transmsg*** transmitting job: c11830 pcn: 055000000 ***%%pcmsg| |00030|yes|no|02/28/2007 13:05|0|1|page is valid, no graphics -- color: n|.

2011 compared to 2010 mst 2019s net sales for 2011 decreased $311 million, or 4% (4%), compared to 2010. the decrease was attributable to decreased volume of approximately $390 million for certain ship and aviation system programs (primarily maritime patrol aircraft and ptds) and approximately $75 million for training and logistics solutions programs. partially offsetting these decreases was higher sales of about $165 million from production on the lcs program. mst 2019s operating profit for 2011 decreased $68 million, or 10% (10%), compared to 2010. the decrease was attributable to decreased operating profit of approximately $55 million as a result of increased reserves for contract cost matters on various ship and aviation system programs (including the terminated presidential helicopter program) and approximately $40 million due to lower volume and increased reserves on training and logistics solutions. partially offsetting these decreases was higher operating profit of approximately $30 million in 2011 primarily due to the recognition of reserves on certain undersea systems programs in 2010. adjustments not related to volume, including net profit rate adjustments described above, were approximately $55 million lower in 2011 compared to 2010. backlog backlog increased in 2012 compared to 2011 mainly due to increased orders on ship and aviation system programs (primarily mh-60 and lcs), partially offset decreased orders and higher sales volume on integrated warfare systems and sensors programs (primarily aegis). backlog decreased slightly in 2011 compared to 2010 primarily due to higher sales volume on various integrated warfare systems and sensors programs. trends we expect mst 2019s net sales to decline in 2013 in the low single digit percentage range as compared to 2012 due to the completion of ptds deliveries in 2012 and expected lower volume on training services programs. operating profit and margin are expected to increase slightly from 2012 levels primarily due to anticipated improved contract performance. space systems our space systems business segment is engaged in the research and development, design, engineering, and production of satellites, strategic and defensive missile systems, and space transportation systems. space systems is also responsible for various classified systems and services in support of vital national security systems. space systems 2019 major programs include the space-based infrared system (sbirs), advanced extremely high frequency (aehf) system, mobile user objective system (muos), global positioning satellite (gps) iii system, geostationary operational environmental satellite r-series (goes-r), trident ii d5 fleet ballistic missile, and orion. operating results for our space systems business segment include our equity interests in united launch alliance (ula), which provides expendable launch services for the u.s. government, united space alliance (usa), which provided processing activities for the space shuttle program and is winding down following the completion of the last space shuttle mission in 2011, and a joint venture that manages the u.k. 2019s atomic weapons establishment program. space systems 2019 operating results included the following (in millions):.
- | 2012 | 2011 | 2010
net sales | $8347 | $8161 | $8268
operating profit | 1083 | 1063 | 1030
operating margins | 13.0% (13.0%) | 13.0% (13.0%) | 12.5% (12.5%)
backlog at year-end | 18100 | 16000 | 17800
2012 compared to 2011 space systems 2019 net sales for 2012 increased $186 million, or 2% (2%), compared to 2011. the increase was attributable to higher net sales of approximately $150 million due to increased commercial satellite deliveries (two commercial satellites delivered in 2012 compared to one during 2011); about $125 million from the orion program due to higher volume and an increase in risk retirements; and approximately $70 million from increased volume on various strategic and defensive missile programs. partially offsetting the increases were lower net sales of approximately $105 million from certain government satellite programs (primarily sbirs and muos) as a result of decreased volume and a decline in risk retirements; and about $55 million from the nasa external tank program, which ended in connection with the completion of the space shuttle program in 2011..

(b) for variable rate facilities, amounts are based on interest rates in effect at year end and do not contemplate the effects of hedging instruments. (c) the company 2019s purchase obligations include contracted amounts for aluminum, steel, plastic resin and other direct materials. also included are commitments for purchases of natural gas and electricity, aerospace and technologies contracts and other less significant items. in cases where variable prices and/or usage are involved, management 2019s best estimates have been used. depending on the circumstances, early termination of the contracts may not result in penalties and, therefore, actual payments could vary significantly. contributions to the company 2019s defined benefit pension plans, not including the unfunded german plans, are expected to be $49 million in 2008. this estimate may change based on plan asset performance. benefit payments related to these plans are expected to be $66 million, $70 million, $74 million, $77 million and $82 million for the years ending december 31, 2008 through 2012, respectively, and a total of $473 million for the years 2013 through 2017. payments to participants in the unfunded german plans are expected to be approximately $26 million in each of the years 2008 through 2012 and a total of $136 million for the years 2013 through 2017. in accordance with united kingdom pension regulations, ball has provided an a38 million guarantee to the plan for its defined benefit plan in the united kingdom. if the company 2019s credit rating falls below specified levels, ball will be required to either: (1) contribute an additional a38 million to the plan; (2) provide a letter of credit to the plan in that amount or (3) if imposed by the appropriate regulatory agency, provide a lien on company assets in that amount for the benefit of the plan. the guarantee can be removed upon approval by both ball and the pension plan trustees. our share repurchase program in 2007 was $211.3 million, net of issuances, compared to $45.7 million net repurchases in 2006 and $358.1 million in 2005. the net repurchases included the $51.9 million settlement on january 5, 2007, of a forward contract entered into in december 2006 for the repurchase of 1200000 shares. however, the 2007 net repurchases did not include a forward contract entered into in december 2007 for the repurchase of 675000 shares. the contract was settled on january 7, 2008, for $31 million in cash. on december 12, 2007, in a privately negotiated transaction, ball entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement to buy $100 million of its common shares using cash on hand and available borrowings. the company advanced the $100 million on january 7, 2008, and received approximately 2 million shares, which represented 90 percent of the total shares as calculated using the previous day 2019s closing price. the exact number of shares to be repurchased under the agreement, which will be determined on the settlement date (no later than june 5, 2008), is subject to an adjustment based on a weighted average price calculation for the period between the initial purchase date and the settlement date. the company has the option to settle the contract in either cash or shares. including the settlements of the forward share purchase contract and the accelerated share repurchase agreement, we expect to repurchase approximately $300 million of our common shares, net of issuances, in 2008. annual cash dividends paid on common stock were 40 cents per share in 2007, 2006 and 2005. total dividends paid were $40.6 million in 2007, $41 million in 2006 and $42.5 million in 2005..

total operating income | $408547 | $353955 | $54592 | 15.4% (15.4%)
the increase in total operating income was driven by the following: 2022 operating income in our north america operating segment increased $88.6 million to $461.0 million in 2015 from $372.4 million in 2014 primarily due to the items discussed above in the consolidated results of operations. 2022 operating income in our emea operating segment increased $14.9 million to $3.1 million in 2015 from a loss of $11.8 million in 2014 primarily due to sales growth discussed above in the consolidated results of operations. 2022 operating income in our asia-pacific operating segment increased $14.5 million to $36.4 million in 2015 from $21.9 million in 2014 primarily due to sales growth discussed above in the consolidated results of operations. 2022 operating loss in our latin america operating segment increased $15.2 million to $30.6 million in 2015 from $15.4 million in 2014 primarily due to increased investments to support growth in the region and the economic challenges in brazil during the period. this increase in operating loss was offset by sales growth discussed above. 2022 operating loss in our connected fitness segment increased $48.2 million to $61.3 million in 2015 from $13.1 million in 2014 primarily due to investments to support growth in our connected fitness business, including the impact of our two connected fitness acquisitions in 2015. these acquisitions contributed $23.6 million to the operating loss for the connected fitness segment in 2015. seasonality historically, we have recognized a majority of our net revenues and a significant portion of our income from operations in the last two quarters of the year, driven primarily by increased sales volume of our products during the fall selling season, including our higher priced cold weather products, along with a larger proportion of higher margin direct to consumer sales. seasonality could have an impact on the timing of accruals if the sales in the last two quarters of the year do not materialize. the level of our working capital generally reflects the seasonality and growth in our business. we generally expect inventory, accounts payable and certain accrued expenses to be higher in the second and third quarters in preparation for the fall selling season..

volume/weather | 9.7
transmission revenue | 6.1
base revenue | 2.6
other | -2.4 (2.4)

transaction and commercial issues in many of our businesses. these skills are a valuable resource as we monitor regulatory and tariff schemes to determine our capital budgeting needs and integrate acquisitions. the company expects to realize cost reduction and performance improvement benefits in both earnings and cash flows; however, there can be no assurance that the reductions and improvements will continue and our inability to sustain the reductions and improvements may result in less than expected earnings and cash flows in 2004 and beyond. asset sales during 2003, we continued the initiative to sell all or part of certain of the company 2019s subsidiaries. this initiative was designed to decrease the company 2019s dependence on access to capital markets and improve the strength of our balance sheet by reducing financial leverage and improving liquidity. the following chart details the asset sales that were closed during 2003. sales proceeds project name date completed (in millions) location.

the company continues to evaluate its portfolio and business performance and may decide to dispose of additional businesses in the future. however given the improvements in our liquidity there will be a lower emphasis placed on asset sales in the future for purposes of improving liquidity and strengthening the balance sheet. for any sales that happen in the future, there can be no guarantee that the proceeds from such sale transactions will cover the entire investment in the subsidiaries. depending on which businesses are eventually sold, the entire or partial sale of any business may change the current financial characteristics of the company 2019s portfolio and results of operations. furthermore future sales may impact the amount of recurring earnings and cash flows the company would expect to achieve. subsidiary restructuring during 2003, we completed and initiated restructuring transactions for several of our south american businesses. the efforts are focused on improving the businesses long-term prospects for generating acceptable returns on invested capital or extending short-term debt maturities. businesses impacted include eletropaulo, tiete, uruguaiana and sul in brazil and gener in chile. brazil eletropaulo. aes has owned an interest in eletropaulo since april 1998, when the company was privatized. in february 2002 aes acquired a controlling interest in the business and as a consequence started to consolidate it. aes financed a significant portion of the acquisition of eletropaulo, including both common and preferred shares, through loans and deferred purchase price financing arrangements provided by the brazilian national development bank 2014 (2018 2018bndes 2019 2019), and its wholly-owned subsidiary, bndes participac 0327o 0303es s.a.

earnings for the first quarter of 2007 are expected to be lower than in the fourth quarter of 2006. containerboard export sales volumes are expected to decline due to scheduled first-quarter main- tenance outages. sales volumes for u.s. converted products will be higher due to more shipping days, but expected softer demand should cause the ship- ments per day to decrease. average sales price real- izations are expected to be comparable to fourth- quarter averages. an additional containerboard price increase was announced in january that is expected to be fully realized in the second quarter. costs for wood, energy, starch, adhesives and freight are expected to increase. manufacturing costs will be higher due to costs associated with scheduled main- tenance outages in the containerboard mills. euro- pean container operating results are expected to improve as seasonally higher sales volumes and improved margins more than offset slightly higher manufacturing costs. consumer packaging demand and pricing for consumer packaging prod- ucts correlate closely with consumer spending and general economic activity. in addition to prices and volumes, major factors affecting the profitability of consumer packaging are raw material and energy costs, manufacturing efficiency and product mix. consumer packaging net sales increased 9% (9%) compared with 2005 and 7% (7%) compared with 2004. operating profits rose 8% (8%) from 2005, but declined 15% (15%) from 2004 levels. compared with 2005, higher sales volumes ($9 million), improved average sales price realizations ($33 million), reduced lack-of-order downtime ($18 million), and favorable mill oper- ations ($25 million) were partially offset by higher raw material costs ($19 million) and freight costs ($21 million), unfavorable mix ($14 million) and other costs ($21 million). consumer packaging in millions 2006 2005 2004.

coated paperboard net sales of $1.5 billion in 2006 were higher than $1.3 billion in 2005 and $1.1 billion in 2004. sales volumes increased in 2006 compared with 2005, particularly in the folding car- ton board segment, reflecting improved demand for coated paperboard products. in 2006, our coated paperboard mills took 4000 tons of lack-of-order downtime, compared with 82000 tons of lack-of-order downtime in 2005. average sales price realizations were substantially improved in the cur- rent year, principally for folding carton board and cupstock board. operating profits were 51% (51%) higher in 2006 than in 2005, and 7% (7%) better than in 2004. the impact of the higher sales prices along with more favorable manufacturing operations due to strong performance at the mills more than offset higher input costs for energy and freight. foodservice net sales declined to $396 million in 2006, compared with $437 million in 2005 and $480 million in 2004, due principally to the sale of the jackson, tennessee plant in july 2005. sales vol- umes were lower in 2006 than in 2005, although average sales prices were higher due to the realiza- tion of price increases implemented during 2005. operating profits for 2006 improved over 2005 and 2004 levels largely due to the benefits from higher sales prices. raw material costs for bleached board were higher than in 2005, but manufacturing costs were more favorable due to increased productivity and reduced waste. shorewood net sales of $670 million were down from $691 million in 2005 and $687 million in 2004. sales volumes in 2006 were down from 2005 levels due to weak demand in the home entertainment and consumer products markets, although demand was strong in the tobacco segment. average sales prices for the year were lower than in 2005. operating prof- its were down significantly from both 2005 and 2004 due to the decline in sales, particularly in the higher margin home entertainment markets, higher raw material costs for bleached board and certain inventory adjustment costs. entering 2007, coated paperboard first-quarter sales volumes are expected to be seasonally stronger than in the fourth quarter 2006 for folding carton board and bristols. average sales price realizations are expected to rise with a price increase announced in january. it is anticipated that manufacturing costs will improve versus an unfavorable fourth quarter. foodservice earnings for the first quarter of 2007 are expected to decline due to seasonally weaker vol- ume. however, sales price realizations will be slightly higher, and the seasonal switch to hot cup contain- ers will have a favorable impact on product mix. shorewood sales volumes for the first quarter of 2007 are expected to seasonally decline, but the earnings impact will be partially offset by pricing improvements and an improved product mix. distribution our distribution business, principally represented by our xpedx business, markets a diverse array of products and supply chain services to customers in.

entergy corporation and subsidiaries management's financial discussion and analysis the decrease in interest income in 2002 was primarily due to: fffd interest recognized in 2001 on grand gulf 1's decommissioning trust funds resulting from the final order addressing system energy's rate proceeding; fffd interest recognized in 2001 at entergy mississippi and entergy new orleans on the deferred system energy costs that were not being recovered through rates; and fffd lower interest earned on declining deferred fuel balances. the decrease in interest charges in 2002 is primarily due to: fffd a decrease of $31.9 million in interest on long-term debt primarily due to the retirement of long-term debt in late 2001 and early 2002; and fffd a decrease of $76.0 million in other interest expense primarily due to interest recorded on system energy's reserve for rate refund in 2001. the refund was made in december 2001. 2001 compared to 2000 results for the year ended december 31, 2001 for u.s. utility were also affected by an increase in interest charges of $61.5 million primarily due to: fffd the final ferc order addressing the 1995 system energy rate filing; fffd debt issued at entergy arkansas in july 2001, at entergy gulf states in june 2000 and august 2001, at entergy mississippi in january 2001, and at entergy new orleans in july 2000 and february 2001; and fffd borrowings under credit facilities during 2001, primarily at entergy arkansas. non-utility nuclear the increase in earnings in 2002 for non-utility nuclear from $128 million to $201 million was primarily due to the operation of indian point 2 and vermont yankee, which were purchased in september 2001 and july 2002, respectively. the increase in earnings in 2001 for non-utility nuclear from $49 million to $128 million was primarily due to the operation of fitzpatrick and indian point 3 for a full year, as each was purchased in november 2000, and the operation of indian point 2, which was purchased in september 2001. following are key performance measures for non-utility nuclear:.

when we purchase an asset, we capitalize all costs necessary to make the asset ready for its intended use. however, many of our assets are self-constructed. a large portion of our capital expenditures is for track structure expansion (capacity projects) and replacement (program projects), which is typically performed by our employees. approximately 13% (13%) of our full-time equivalent employees are dedicated to the construction of capital assets. costs that are directly attributable or overhead costs that relate directly to capital projects are capitalized. direct costs that are capitalized as part of self-constructed assets include material, labor, and work equipment. indirect costs are capitalized if they clearly relate to the construction of the asset. these costs are allocated using appropriate statistical bases. the capitalization of indirect costs is consistent with fasb statement no. 67, accounting for costs and initial rental operations of real estate projects. general and administrative expenditures are expensed as incurred. normal repairs and maintenance are also expensed as incurred, while costs incurred that extend the useful life of an asset, improve the safety of our operations or improve operating efficiency are capitalized. assets held under capital leases are recorded at the lower of the net present value of the minimum lease payments or the fair value of the leased asset at the inception of the lease. amortization expense is computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the period of the related lease. 10. accounts payable and other current liabilities dec. 31, dec. 31, millions of dollars 2008 2007.

11. fair value measurements during the first quarter of 2008, we fully adopted fasb statement no. 157, fair value measurements (fas 157). fas 157 established a framework for measuring fair value and expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. the adoption of fas 157 had no impact on our financial position or results of operations. fas 157 applies to all assets and liabilities that are measured and reported on a fair value basis. this enables the reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. the statement requires that each asset and liability carried at fair value be classified into one of the following categories: level 1: quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. level 2: observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. level 3: unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data..
as of december 31, 2008, what was the amount of the accrued wages and vacation? 367.0
and what was the total of accounts payable and other current liabilities? 2560.0

contingent consideration of up to $13.8 million. the contingent consideration arrangement requires additional cash payments to the former equity holders of lyric upon the achievement of certain technological and product development milestones payable during the period from june 2011 through june 2016. the company estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration arrangement utilizing the income approach. changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration subsequent to the acquisition date primarily driven by assumptions pertaining to the achievement of the defined milestones will be recognized in operating income in the period of the estimated fair value change. as of october 29, 2011, no contingent payments have been made and the fair value of the contingent consideration was approximately $14.0 million. the company allocated the purchase price to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition, resulting in the recognition of $12.2 million of ipr&d, $18.9 million of goodwill and $3.3 million of net deferred tax liabilities. the goodwill recognized is attributable to future technologies that have yet to be determined as well as the assembled workforce of lyric. future technologies do not meet the criteria for recognition separately from goodwill because they are a part of future development and growth of the business. none of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. in addition, the company will be obligated to pay royalties to the former equity holders of lyric on revenue recognized from the sale of lyric products and licenses through the earlier of 20 years or the accrual of a maximum of $25 million. royalty payments to lyric employees require post-acquisition services to be rendered and, as such, the company will record these amounts as compensation expense in the related periods. as of october 29, 2011, no royalty payments have been made. the company recognized $0.2 million of acquisition-related costs that were expensed in the third quarter of fiscal 2011. these costs are included in operating expenses in the consolidated statement of income. the company has not provided pro forma results of operations for integrant, audioasics and lyric herein as they were not material to the company on either an individual or an aggregate basis. the company included the results of operations of each acquisition in its consolidated statement of income from the date of such acquisition. 7. deferred compensation plan investments investments in the analog devices, inc. deferred compensation plan (the deferred compensation plan) are classified as trading. the components of the investments as of october 29, 2011 and october 30, 2010 were as follows:.
- | 2011 | 2010
money market funds | $17187 | $1840
mutual funds | 9223 | 6850
total deferred compensation plan investments | $26410 | $8690
the fair values of these investments are based on published market quotes on october 29, 2011 and october 30, 2010, respectively. adjustments to the fair value of, and income pertaining to, deferred compensation plan investments are recorded in operating expenses. gross realized and unrealized gains and losses from trading securities were not material in fiscal 2011, 2010 or 2009. the company has recorded a corresponding liability for amounts owed to the deferred compensation plan participants (see note 10). these investments are specifically designated as available to the company solely for the purpose of paying benefits under the deferred compensation plan. however, in the event the company became insolvent, the investments would be available to all unsecured general creditors. 8. other investments other investments consist of equity securities and other long-term investments. investments are stated at fair value, which is based on market quotes or on a cost-basis, dependent on the nature of the investment, as appropriate. adjustments to the fair value of investments classified as available-for-sale are recorded as an increase or decrease analog devices, inc. notes to consolidated financial statements 2014 (continued).

2016 outlook f0b7 safety 2013 operating a safe railroad benefits all our constituents: our employees, customers, shareholders and the communities we serve. we will continue using a multi-faceted approach to safety, utilizing technology, risk assessment, quality control, training and employee engagement, and targeted capital investments. we will continue using and expanding the deployment of total safety culture and courage to care throughout our operations, which allows us to identify and implement best practices for employee and operational safety. we will continue our efforts to increase detection of rail defects; improve or close crossings; and educate the public and law enforcement agencies about crossing safety through a combination of our own programs (including risk assessment strategies), industry programs and local community activities across our network. f0b7 network operations 2013 in 2016, we will continue to align resources with customer demand, continue to improve network performance, and maintain our surge capability. f0b7 fuel prices 2013 with the dramatic drop in fuel prices during 2015, fuel price projections continue to be uncertain in the current environment. we again could see volatile fuel prices during the year, as they are sensitive to global and u.s. domestic demand, refining capacity, geopolitical events, weather conditions and other factors. as prices fluctuate, there will be a timing impact on earnings, as our fuel surcharge programs trail fluctuations in fuel price by approximately two months. continuing lower fuel prices could have a positive impact on the economy by increasing consumer discretionary spending that potentially could increase demand for various consumer products that we transport. alternatively, lower fuel prices will likely have a negative impact on other commodities such as coal, frac sand and crude oil shipments. f0b7 capital plan 2013 in 2016, we expect our capital plan to be approximately $3.75 billion, including expenditures for ptc, 230 locomotives and 450 freight cars. the capital plan may be revised if business conditions warrant or if new laws or regulations affect our ability to generate sufficient returns on these investments. (see further discussion in this item 7 under liquidity and capital resources 2013 capital plan.) f0b7 financial expectations 2013 economic conditions in many of our market sectors continue to drive uncertainty with respect to our volume levels. we expect volumes to be down slightly in 2016 compared to 2015, but will depend on the overall economy and market conditions. the strong u.s. dollar and historic low commodity prices could also drive continued volatility. one of the biggest uncertainties is the outlook for energy markets, which will bring both challenges and opportunities. in the current environment, we expect continued margin improvement driven by continued pricing opportunities, ongoing productivity initiatives, and the ability to leverage our resources and strengthen our franchise. over the longer term, we expect the overall u.s. economy to continue to improve at a modest pace, with some markets outperforming others..

investment advisory revenues earned on the other investment portfolios that we manage decreased $44 million, or 8.5% (8.5%), to $477.8 million in 2009. average assets in these portfolios were $129.5 billion during 2009, down $12.6 billion or 9% (9%) from 2008. other investment portfolio assets under management increased $46.7 billion during 2009, including $36.5 billion in market gains and income and $10.2 billion of net inflows, primarily from institutional investors. net inflows include $1.3 billion transferred from the stock and blended asset mutual funds during 2009. administrative fees decreased $35 million, or 10% (10%), to $319 million in 2009. this change includes a $4 million decrease in 12b-1 distribution and service fees recognized on lower average assets under management in the advisor and r classes of our sponsored mutual funds and a $31 million reduction in our mutual fund servicing revenue, which is primarily attributable to our cost reduction efforts in the mutual fund and retirement plan servicing functions. changes in administrative fees are generally offset by similar changes in related operating expenses that are incurred to provide services to the funds and their investors. our largest expense, compensation and related costs, decreased $42 million, or 5% (5%), from 2008 to $773 million in 2009. the largest part of this decrease is attributable to a $19 million reduction in our annual bonus program. reductions in the use of outside contractors lowered 2009 costs $14 million with the remainder of the cost savings primarily attributable to the workforce reduction and lower employee benefits and other employment expenses. average headcount in 2009 was down 5.4% (5.4%) from 2008 due to attrition, retirements and our workforce reduction in april 2009. advertising and promotion expenditures were down $31 million, or 30% (30%), versus 2008 due to our decision to reduce spending in response to lower investor activity in the 2009 market environment. depreciation expense and other occupancy and facility costs together increased $4 million, or 2.5% (2.5%) compared to 2008, as we moderated or delayed our capital spending and facility growth plans. other operating expenses decreased $33 million, or 18% (18%) from 2008, including a decline of $4 million in distribution and service expenses recognized on lower average assets under management in our advisor and r classes of mutual fund shares that are sourced from financial intermediaries. our cost control efforts resulted in the remaining expense reductions, including lower professional fees and travel and related costs. our non-operating investment activity resulted in net losses of $12.7 million in 2009 and $52.3 million in 2008. the improvement of nearly $40 million is primarily attributable to a reduction in the other than temporary impairments recognized on our investments in sponsored mutual funds in 2009 versus 2008. the following table details our related mutual fund investment gains and losses (in millions) during the two years ended december 31, 2009..

net loss recognized on fund holdings | $-90.2 (90.2) | $-26.7 (26.7) | $63.5
lower income of $16 million from our money market holdings due to the significantly lower interest rate environment offset the improvement experienced with our fund investments. the 2009 provision for income taxes as a percentage of pretax income is 37.1% (37.1%), down from 38.4% (38.4%) in 2008. our 2009 provision includes reductions of prior years 2019 tax provisions and discrete nonrecurring benefits that lowered our 2009 effective tax rate by 1.0% (1.0%). c a p i t a l r e s o u r c e s a n d l i q u i d i t y. during 2010, stockholders 2019 equity increased from $2.9 billion to $3.3 billion. we repurchased nearly 5.0 million common shares for $240.0 million in 2010. tangible book value is $2.6 billion at december 31, 2010, and our cash and cash equivalents and our mutual fund investment holdings total more than $1.5 billion. given the availability of these financial resources, we do not maintain an available external source of liquidity. t. rowe price group annual report 2010.

tissue pulp due to strong market demand, partic- ularly from asia. average sales price realizations improved significantly in 2007, principally reflecting higher average prices for softwood, hardwood and fluff pulp. operating earnings in 2007 were $104 mil- lion compared with $48 million in 2006 and $37 mil- lion in 2005. the benefits from higher sales price realizations were partially offset by increased input costs for energy, chemicals and freight. entering the first quarter of 2008, demand for market pulp remains strong, and average sales price realiza- tions should increase slightly. however, input costs for energy, chemicals and freight are expected to be higher, and increased spending is anticipated for planned mill maintenance outages. industrial packaging demand for industrial packaging products is closely correlated with non-durable industrial goods pro- duction, as well as with demand for processed foods, poultry, meat and agricultural products. in addition to prices and volumes, major factors affecting the profitability of industrial packaging are raw material and energy costs, freight costs, manufacturing effi- ciency and product mix. industrial packaging net sales for 2007 increased 6% (6%) to $5.2 billion compared with $4.9 bil- lion in 2006, and 13% (13%) compared with $4.6 billion in 2005. operating profits in 2007 were 26% (26%) higher than in 2006 and more than double 2005 earnings. bene- fits from improved price realizations ($147 million), sales volume increases net of increased lack of order downtime ($3 million), a more favorable mix ($31 million), strong mill and converting operations ($33 million) and other costs ($47 million) were partially offset by the effects of higher raw material costs ($76 million) and higher freight costs ($18 million). in addition, a gain of $13 million was recognized in 2006 related to a sale of property in spain and costs of $52 million were incurred in 2007 related to the conversion of the paper machine at pensacola to production of lightweight linerboard. the segment took 165000 tons of downtime in 2007 which included 16000 tons of market-related downtime compared with 135000 tons of downtime in 2006 of which none was market-related. industrial packaging in millions 2007 2006 2005.

north american industrial packaging net sales for 2007 were $3.9 billion, compared with $3.7 billion in 2006 and $3.6 billion in 2005. operating profits in 2007 were $407 million, up from $327 mil- lion in 2006 and $170 million in 2005. containerboard shipments were higher in 2007 compared with 2006, including production from the paper machine at pensacola that was converted to lightweight linerboard during 2007. average sales price realizations were significantly higher than in 2006 reflecting price increases announced early in 2006 and in the third quarter of 2007. margins improved reflecting stronger export demand. manu- facturing performance was strong, although costs associated with planned mill maintenance outages were higher due to timing of outages. raw material costs for wood, energy, chemicals and recycled fiber increased significantly. operating results for 2007 were also unfavorably impacted by $52 million of costs associated with the conversion and startup of the pensacola paper machine. u.s. converting sales volumes were slightly lower in 2007 compared with 2006 reflecting softer customer box demand. earnings improvement in 2007 bene- fited from the realization of box price increases announced in early 2006 and late 2007. favorable manufacturing operations and higher sales prices for waste fiber more than offset significantly higher raw material and freight costs. looking ahead to the first quarter of 2008, sales volumes are expected to increase slightly, and results should benefit from a full-quarter impact of the price increases announced in the third quarter of 2007. however, additional mill maintenance outages are planned for the first quarter, and freight and input costs are expected to rise, particularly for wood and energy. manufacturing operations should be favorable compared with the fourth quarter. european industrial packaging net sales for 2007 were $1.1 billion, up from $1.0 billion in 2006 and $880 million in 2005. sales volumes were about flat as early stronger demand in the industrial segment weakened in the second half of the year. operating profits in 2007 were $88 million compared with $69 million in 2006 and $53 million in 2005. sales margins improved reflecting increased sales prices for boxes. conversion costs were favorable as the result of manufacturing improvement programs. entering the first quarter of 2008, sales volumes should be strong seasonally across all regions as the winter fruit and vegetable season continues. profit margins, however, are expected to be somewhat lower..

table of contents notes to consolidated financial statements of american airlines group inc. information generated by market transactions involving comparable assets, as well as pricing guides and other sources. the current market for the aircraft, the maintenance condition of the aircraft and the expected proceeds from the sale of the assets, among other factors, were considered. the market approach was utilized to value certain intangible assets such as airport take off and landing slots when sufficient market information was available. the income approach was primarily used to value intangible assets, including customer relationships, marketing agreements, certain international route authorities, and the us airways tradename. the income approach indicates value for a subject asset based on the present value of cash flows projected to be generated by the asset. projected cash flows are discounted at a required market rate of return that reflects the relative risk of achieving the cash flows and the time value of money. the cost approach, which estimates value by determining the current cost of replacing an asset with another of equivalent economic utility, was used, as appropriate, for certain assets for which the market and income approaches could not be applied due to the nature of the asset. the cost to replace a given asset reflects the estimated reproduction or replacement cost for the asset, less an allowance for loss in value due to depreciation. the fair value of us airways 2019 dividend miles loyalty program liability was determined based on the weighted average equivalent ticket value of outstanding miles which were expected to be redeemed for future travel at december 9, 2013. the weighted average equivalent ticket value contemplates differing classes of service, domestic and international itineraries and the carrier providing the award travel. pro-forma impact of the merger the company 2019s unaudited pro-forma results presented below include the effects of the merger as if it had been consummated as of january 1, 2012. the pro-forma results include the depreciation and amortization associated with the acquired tangible and intangible assets, lease and debt fair value adjustments, the elimination of any deferred gains or losses, adjustments relating to reflecting the fair value of the loyalty program liability and the impact of income changes on profit sharing expense, among others. in addition, the pro-forma results below reflect the impact of higher wage rates related to memorandums of understanding with us airways 2019 pilots that became effective upon closing of the merger, as well as the elimination of the company 2019s reorganization items, net and merger transition costs. however, the pro-forma results do not include any anticipated synergies or other expected benefits of the merger. accordingly, the unaudited pro-forma financial information below is not necessarily indicative of either future results of operations or results that might have been achieved had the acquisition been consummated as of january 1, 2012. december 31, (in millions).

the aes corporation notes to consolidated financial statements 2014 (continued) december 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015 was dispatched starting in february 2018. aes puerto rico continues to be the lowest cost and epa compliant energy provider in puerto rico. therefore, we expect aes puerto rico to continue to be a critical supplier to prepa. starting prior to the hurricanes, prepa has been facing economic challenges that could impact the company, and on july 2, 2017, filed for bankruptcy under title iii. as a result of the bankruptcy filing, aes puerto rico and aes ilumina 2019s non-recourse debt of $365 million and $36 million, respectively, is in default and has been classified as current as of december 31, 2017. in november 2017, aes puerto rico signed a forbearance and standstill agreement with its lenders to prevent the lenders from taking any action against the company due to the default events. this agreement will expire on march 22, 2018. the company's receivable balances in puerto rico as of december 31, 2017 totaled $86 million, of which $53 million was overdue. after the filing of title iii protection, and up until the disruption caused by the hurricanes, aes in puerto rico was collecting the overdue amounts from prepa in line with historic payment patterns. considering the information available as of the filing date, management believes the carrying amount of our assets in puerto rico of $627 million is recoverable as of december 31, 2017 and no reserve on the receivables is required. foreign currency risks 2014 aes operates businesses in many foreign countries and such operations could be impacted by significant fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. fluctuations in currency exchange rate between u.s. dollar and the following currencies could create significant fluctuations in earnings and cash flows: the argentine peso, the brazilian real, the dominican republic peso, the euro, the chilean peso, the colombian peso, and the philippine peso. concentrations 2014 due to the geographical diversity of its operations, the company does not have any significant concentration of customers or sources of fuel supply. several of the company's generation businesses rely on ppas with one or a limited number of customers for the majority of, and in some cases all of, the relevant businesses' output over the term of the ppas. however, no single customer accounted for 10% (10%) or more of total revenue in 2017, 2016 or 2015. the cash flows and results of operations of our businesses depend on the credit quality of our customers and the continued ability of our customers and suppliers to meet their obligations under ppas and fuel supply agreements. if a substantial portion of the company's long-term ppas and/or fuel supply were modified or terminated, the company would be adversely affected to the extent that it would be unable to replace such contracts at equally favorable terms. 26. related party transactions certain of our businesses in panama and the dominican republic are partially owned by governments either directly or through state-owned institutions. in the ordinary course of business, these businesses enter into energy purchase and sale transactions, and transmission agreements with other state-owned institutions which are controlled by such governments. at two of our generation businesses in mexico, the offtakers exercise significant influence, but not control, through representation on these businesses' boards of directors. these offtakers are also required to hold a nominal ownership interest in such businesses. in chile, we provide capacity and energy under contractual arrangements to our investment which is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. additionally, the company provides certain support and management services to several of its affiliates under various agreements. the company's consolidated statements of operations included the following transactions with related parties for the periods indicated (in millions):.

divestiture of our arrow and moores businesses, and an unfavorable sales mix of international plumbing products, which, in aggregate, decreased sales by two percent. net sales for 2016 were positively affected by increased sales volume of plumbing products, paints and other coating products and builders' hardware. net sales for 2016 were also positively affected by favorable sales mix of cabinets and windows, and net selling price increases of north american windows and north american and international plumbing products. net sales for 2016 were negatively affected by lower sales volume of cabinets and lower net selling prices of paints and other coating products. our gross profit margins were 32.2 percent, 34.2 percent and 33.4 percent in 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. the 2018 gross profit margin was negatively impacted by an increase in commodity costs, the recognition of the inventory step up adjustment established as a part of the the acquisition of kichler, an increase in other expenses (such as logistics costs and salaries) and unfavorable sales mix. these negative impacts were partially offset by an increase in net selling prices, the benefits associated with cost savings initiatives, and increased sales volume. the 2017 gross profit margin was positively impacted by increased sales volume, a more favorable relationship between net selling prices and commodity costs, and cost savings initiatives. selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of sales were 17.7 percent in 2018 compared with 18.6 percent in 2017 and 18.7 percent in 2016. the decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, was driven by leverage of fixed expenses, due primarily to increased sales volume, and improved cost control. the following table reconciles reported operating profit to operating profit, as adjusted to exclude certain items, dollars in millions:.

operating profit margin in 2018 was negatively affected by an increase in commodity costs, the recognition of the inventory step up adjustment established as a part of the the acquisition of kichler and an increase in other expenses (such as logistics costs, salaries and erp costs). these negative impacts were partially offset by increased net selling prices, benefits associated with cost savings initiatives and increased sales volume. operating profit margin in 2017 was positively impacted by increased sales volume, cost savings initiatives, and a more favorable relationship between net selling prices and commodity costs. operating profit margin in 2017 was negatively impacted by an increase in strategic growth investments and certain other expenses, including stock-based compensation, health insurance costs, trade show costs and increased head count. due to the recently-announced increase in tariffs on imported materials from china, and assuming tariffs rise to 25 percent in 2019, we could be exposed to approximately $150 million of potential annual direct cost increases. we will work to mitigate the impact of these tariffs through a combination of price increases, supplier negotiations, supply chain repositioning and other internal productivity measures. other income (expense), net other, net, for 2018 included $14 million of net periodic pension and post-retirement benefit cost and $8 million of realized foreign currency losses. these expenses were partially offset by $3 million of earnings related to equity method investments and $1 million related to distributions from private equity funds. other, net, for 2017 included $26 million related to periodic pension and post-retirement benefit costs, $13 million net loss related to the divestitures of moores and arrow and $2 million related to the impairment of a private equity fund, partially offset by $3 million related to distributions from private equity funds and $1 million of earnings related to equity method investments..

the analysis of our depreciation studies. changes in the estimated service lives of our assets and their related depreciation rates are implemented prospectively. under group depreciation, the historical cost (net of salvage) of depreciable property that is retired or replaced in the ordinary course of business is charged to accumulated depreciation and no gain or loss is recognized. the historical cost of certain track assets is estimated using (i) inflation indices published by the bureau of labor statistics and (ii) the estimated useful lives of the assets as determined by our depreciation studies. the indices were selected because they closely correlate with the major costs of the properties comprising the applicable track asset classes. because of the number of estimates inherent in the depreciation and retirement processes and because it is impossible to precisely estimate each of these variables until a group of property is completely retired, we continually monitor the estimated service lives of our assets and the accumulated depreciation associated with each asset class to ensure our depreciation rates are appropriate. in addition, we determine if the recorded amount of accumulated depreciation is deficient (or in excess) of the amount indicated by our depreciation studies. any deficiency (or excess) is amortized as a component of depreciation expense over the remaining service lives of the applicable classes of assets. for retirements of depreciable railroad properties that do not occur in the normal course of business, a gain or loss may be recognized if the retirement meets each of the following three conditions: (i) is unusual, (ii) is material in amount, and (iii) varies significantly from the retirement profile identified through our depreciation studies. a gain or loss is recognized in other income when we sell land or dispose of assets that are not part of our railroad operations. when we purchase an asset, we capitalize all costs necessary to make the asset ready for its intended use. however, many of our assets are self-constructed. a large portion of our capital expenditures is for replacement of existing track assets and other road properties, which is typically performed by our employees, and for track line expansion and other capacity projects. costs that are directly attributable to capital projects (including overhead costs) are capitalized. direct costs that are capitalized as part of self- constructed assets include material, labor, and work equipment. indirect costs are capitalized if they clearly relate to the construction of the asset. general and administrative expenditures are expensed as incurred. normal repairs and maintenance are also expensed as incurred, while costs incurred that extend the useful life of an asset, improve the safety of our operations or improve operating efficiency are capitalized. these costs are allocated using appropriate statistical bases. total expense for repairs and maintenance incurred was $2.4 billion for 2014, $2.3 billion for 2013, and $2.1 billion for 2012. assets held under capital leases are recorded at the lower of the net present value of the minimum lease payments or the fair value of the leased asset at the inception of the lease. amortization expense is computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the period of the related lease. 13. accounts payable and other current liabilities dec. 31, dec. 31, millions 2014 2013.

notes to consolidated financial statements 2013 (continued) (amounts in millions, except per share amounts) cash flows for 2010, we expect to contribute $25.2 and $9.2 to our foreign pension plans and domestic pension plans, respectively. a significant portion of our contributions to the foreign pension plans relate to the u.k. pension plan. additionally, we are in the process of modifying the schedule of employer contributions for the u.k. pension plan and we expect to finalize this during 2010. as a result, we expect our contributions to our foreign pension plans to increase from current levels in 2010 and subsequent years. during 2009, we contributed $31.9 to our foreign pension plans and contributions to the domestic pension plan were negligible. the following estimated future benefit payments, which reflect future service, as appropriate, are expected to be paid in the years indicated below. domestic pension plans foreign pension plans postretirement benefit plans.
years | domestic pension plans | foreign pension plans | postretirement benefit plans
2010 | $17.2 | $23.5 | $5.8
2011 | 11.1 | 24.7 | 5.7

2014 | 10.5 | 32.4 | 5.5
2015 2013 2019 | 48.5 | 175.3 | 24.8
the estimated future payments for our postretirement benefit plans are before any estimated federal subsidies expected to be received under the medicare prescription drug, improvement and modernization act of 2003. federal subsidies are estimated to range from $0.5 in 2010 to $0.6 in 2014 and are estimated to be $2.4 for the period 2015-2019. savings plans we sponsor defined contribution plans (the 201csavings plans 201d) that cover substantially all domestic employees. the savings plans permit participants to make contributions on a pre-tax and/or after-tax basis and allows participants to choose among various investment alternatives. we match a portion of participant contributions based upon their years of service. amounts expensed for the savings plans for 2009, 2008 and 2007 were $35.1, $29.6 and $31.4, respectively. expense includes a discretionary company contribution of $3.8, $4.0 and $4.9 offset by participant forfeitures of $2.7, $7.8, $6.0 in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. in addition, we maintain defined contribution plans in various foreign countries and contributed $25.0, $28.7 and $26.7 to these plans in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. deferred compensation and benefit arrangements we have deferred compensation arrangements which (i) permit certain of our key officers and employees to defer a portion of their salary or incentive compensation, or (ii) require us to contribute an amount to the participant 2019s account. the arrangements typically provide that the participant will receive the amounts deferred plus interest upon attaining certain conditions, such as completing a certain number of years of service or upon retirement or termination. as of december 31, 2009 and 2008, the deferred compensation liability balance was $100.3 and $107.6, respectively. amounts expensed for deferred compensation arrangements in 2009, 2008 and 2007 were $11.6, $5.7 and $11.9, respectively. we have deferred benefit arrangements with certain key officers and employees that provide participants with an annual payment, payable when the participant attains a certain age and after the participant 2019s employment has terminated. the deferred benefit liability was $178.2 and $182.1 as of december 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. amounts expensed for deferred benefit arrangements in 2009, 2008 and 2007 were $12.0, $14.9 and $15.5, respectively. we have purchased life insurance policies on participants 2019 lives to assist in the funding of the related deferred compensation and deferred benefit liabilities. as of december 31, 2009 and 2008, the cash surrender value of these policies was $119.4 and $100.2, respectively. in addition to the life insurance policies, certain investments are held for the purpose of paying the deferred compensation and deferred benefit liabilities. these investments, along with the life insurance policies, are held in a separate revocable trust for the purpose of paying the deferred compensation and the deferred benefit.

impairment the following table presents net unrealized losses on securities available for sale as of december 31:.
(in millions) | 2011 | 2010
fair value | $99832 | $81881
amortized cost | 100013 | 82329
net unrealized loss pre-tax | $-181 (181) | $-448 (448)
net unrealized loss after-tax | $-113 (113) | $-270 (270)
the net unrealized amounts presented above excluded the remaining net unrealized losses related to reclassifications of securities available for sale to securities held to maturity. these unrealized losses related to reclassifications totaled $303 million, or $189 million after-tax, and $523 million, or $317 million after-tax, as of december 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, or oci. refer to note 12 to the consolidated financial statements included under item 8. the decline in these remaining after-tax unrealized losses related to reclassifications from december 31, 2010 to december 31, 2011 resulted primarily from amortization. we conduct periodic reviews of individual securities to assess whether other-than-temporary impairment exists. to the extent that other-than-temporary impairment is identified, the impairment is broken into a credit component and a non-credit component. the credit component is recorded in our consolidated statement of income, and the non-credit component is recorded in oci to the extent that we do not intend to sell the security. our assessment of other-than-temporary impairment involves an evaluation, more fully described in note 3, of economic and security-specific factors. such factors are based on estimates, derived by management, which contemplate current market conditions and security-specific performance. to the extent that market conditions are worse than management 2019s expectations, other-than-temporary impairment could increase, in particular, the credit component that would be recorded in our consolidated statement of income. given the exposure of our investment securities portfolio, particularly mortgage- and asset-backed securities, to residential mortgage and other consumer credit risks, the performance of the u.s. housing market is a significant driver of the portfolio 2019s credit performance. as such, our assessment of other-than-temporary impairment relies to a significant extent on our estimates of trends in national housing prices. generally, indices that measure trends in national housing prices are published in arrears. as of september 30, 2011, national housing prices, according to the case-shiller national home price index, had declined by approximately 31.3% (31.3%) peak-to-current. overall, management 2019s expectation, for purposes of its evaluation of other-than-temporary impairment as of december 31, 2011, was that housing prices would decline by approximately 35% (35%) peak-to-trough. the performance of certain mortgage products and vintages of securities continues to deteriorate. in addition, management continues to believe that housing prices will decline further as indicated above. the combination of these factors has led to an increase in management 2019s overall loss expectations. our investment portfolio continues to be sensitive to management 2019s estimates of future cumulative losses. ultimately, other-than- temporary impairment is based on specific cusip-level detailed analysis of the unique characteristics of each security. in addition, we perform sensitivity analysis across each significant product type within the non-agency u.s. residential mortgage-backed portfolio. we estimate, for example, that other-than-temporary impairment of the investment portfolio could increase by approximately $10 million to $50 million, if national housing prices were to decline by 37% (37%) to 39% (39%) peak-to-trough, compared to management 2019s expectation of 35% (35%) described above. this sensitivity estimate is based on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the level of housing prices and the timing of defaults. to the extent that such factors differ substantially from management 2019s current expectations, resulting loss estimates may differ materially from those stated. excluding the securities for which other-than-temporary impairment was recorded in 2011, management considers the aggregate decline in fair value of the remaining.

when we purchase an asset, we capitalize all costs necessary to make the asset ready for its intended use. however, many of our assets are self-constructed. a large portion of our capital expenditures is for track structure expansion (capacity projects) and replacement (program projects), which is typically performed by our employees. approximately 13% (13%) of our full-time equivalent employees are dedicated to the construction of capital assets. costs that are directly attributable or overhead costs that relate directly to capital projects are capitalized. direct costs that are capitalized as part of self-constructed assets include material, labor, and work equipment. indirect costs are capitalized if they clearly relate to the construction of the asset. these costs are allocated using appropriate statistical bases. the capitalization of indirect costs is consistent with fasb statement no. 67, accounting for costs and initial rental operations of real estate projects. general and administrative expenditures are expensed as incurred. normal repairs and maintenance are also expensed as incurred, while costs incurred that extend the useful life of an asset, improve the safety of our operations or improve operating efficiency are capitalized. assets held under capital leases are recorded at the lower of the net present value of the minimum lease payments or the fair value of the leased asset at the inception of the lease. amortization expense is computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the period of the related lease. 10. accounts payable and other current liabilities dec. 31, dec. 31, millions of dollars 2008 2007.

11. fair value measurements during the first quarter of 2008, we fully adopted fasb statement no. 157, fair value measurements (fas 157). fas 157 established a framework for measuring fair value and expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. the adoption of fas 157 had no impact on our financial position or results of operations. fas 157 applies to all assets and liabilities that are measured and reported on a fair value basis. this enables the reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. the statement requires that each asset and liability carried at fair value be classified into one of the following categories: level 1: quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. level 2: observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. level 3: unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data..

during 2009 we continued to see a soft market, which began in 2007, in our retail brokerage product line. in 2007, we experienced a soft market in many business lines and in many geographic areas. in a 2018 2018soft market, 2019 2019 premium rates flatten or decrease, along with commission revenues, due to increased competition for market share among insurance carriers or increased underwriting capacity. changes in premiums have a direct and potentially material impact on the insurance brokerage industry, as commission revenues are generally based on a percentage of the premiums paid by insureds. prices fell throughout 2007, with the greatest declines seen in large and middle-market accounts. prices continued to decline during 2008, although the rate of decline slowed toward the end of the year. in our reinsurance brokerage product line, pricing overall during 2009 was also down, although during a portion of the year it was flat to up slightly. additionally, beginning in late 2008 and continuing throughout 2009, we faced difficult conditions as a result of unprecedented disruptions in the global economy, the repricing of credit risk and the deterioration of the financial markets. continued volatility and further deterioration in the credit markets have reduced our customers 2019 demand for our retail brokerage and reinsurance brokerage products, which have negatively hurt our operational results. in addition, overall capacity in the industry could decrease if a significant insurer either fails or withdraws from writing insurance coverages that we offer our clients. this failure could reduce our revenues and profitability, since we would no longer have access to certain lines and types of insurance. risk and insurance brokerage services generated approximately 83% (83%) of our consolidated total revenues in 2009. revenues are generated primarily through fees paid by clients, commissions and fees paid by insurance and reinsurance companies, and investment income on funds held on behalf of clients. our revenues vary from quarter to quarter throughout the year as a result of the timing of our clients 2019 policy renewals, the net effect of new and lost business, the timing of services provided to our clients, and the income we earn on investments, which is heavily influenced by short-term interest rates. we operate in a highly competitive industry and compete with many retail insurance brokerage and agency firms, as well as with individual brokers, agents, and direct writers of insurance coverage. specifically, we address the highly specialized product development and risk management needs of commercial enterprises, professional groups, insurance companies, governments, healthcare providers, and non-profit groups, among others; provide affinity products for professional liability, life, disability income, and personal lines for individuals, associations, and businesses; provide reinsurance services to insurance and reinsurance companies and other risk assumption entities by acting as brokers or intermediaries on all classes of reinsurance; provide investment banking products and services, including mergers and acquisitions and other financial advisory services, capital raising, contingent capital financing, insurance-linked securitizations and derivative applications; provide managing underwriting to independent agents and brokers as well as corporate clients; provide actuarial, loss prevention, and administrative services to businesses and consumers; and manage captive insurance companies. in november 2008 we expanded our product offerings through the merger with benfield, a leading independent reinsurance intermediary. benfield products have been integrated with our existing reinsurance products in 2009. in february 2009, we completed the sale of the u.s. operations of cananwill, our premium finance business. in june and july of 2009, we entered into agreements with third parties with respect to our.

net revenues include $3.8 billion in 2017 and $739 million in 2016 related to the sale of rrps, mainly driven by japan. these net revenue amounts include excise taxes billed to customers. excluding excise taxes, net revenues for rrps were $3.6 billion in 2017 and $733 million in 2016. in some jurisdictions, including japan, we are not responsible for collecting excise taxes. in 2017, approximately $0.9 billion of our $3.6 billion in rrp net revenues, excluding excise taxes, were from iqos devices and accessories. excise taxes on products increased by $1.1 billion, due to: 2022 higher excise taxes resulting from changes in retail prices and tax rates ($4.6 billion), partially offset by 2022 favorable currency ($1.9 billion) and 2022 lower excise taxes resulting from volume/mix ($1.6 billion). our cost of sales; marketing, administration and research costs; and operating income were as follows: for the years ended december 31, variance.

operating income | 11503 | 10815 | 688 | 6.4% (6.4%)
cost of sales increased by $1.0 billion, due to: 2022 higher cost of sales resulting from volume/mix ($1.1 billion), partly offset by 2022 lower manufacturing costs ($36 million) and 2022 favorable currency ($30 million). marketing, administration and research costs increased by $320 million, due to: 2022 higher expenses ($570 million, largely reflecting increased investment behind reduced-risk products, predominately in the european union and asia), partly offset by 2022 favorable currency ($250 million). operating income increased by $688 million, due primarily to: 2022 price increases ($1.4 billion), partly offset by 2022 higher marketing, administration and research costs ($570 million) and 2022 unfavorable currency ($157 million). interest expense, net, of $914 million increased by $23 million, due primarily to unfavorably currency and higher average debt levels, partly offset by higher interest income. our effective tax rate increased by 12.8 percentage points to 40.7% (40.7%). the 2017 effective tax rate was unfavorably impacted by $1.6 billion due to the tax cuts and jobs act. for further details, see item 8, note 11. income taxes to our consolidated financial statements. we are continuing to evaluate the impact that the tax cuts and jobs act will have on our tax liability. based upon our current interpretation of the tax cuts and jobs act, we estimate that our 2018 effective tax rate will be approximately 28% (28%), subject to future regulatory developments and earnings mix by taxing jurisdiction. we are regularly examined by tax authorities around the world, and we are currently under examination in a number of jurisdictions. it is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months certain tax examinations will close, which could result in a change in unrecognized tax benefits along with related interest and penalties. an estimate of any possible change cannot be made at this time. net earnings attributable to pmi of $6.0 billion decreased by $932 million (13.4% (13.4%)). this decrease was due primarily to a higher effective tax rate as discussed above, partly offset by higher operating income. diluted and basic eps of $3.88 decreased by 13.4% (13.4%). excluding.

the following table presents var with respect to our trading activities, as measured by our var methodology for the periods indicated: value-at-risk.
years ended december 31 (inmillions) | 2008 annual average | 2008 maximum | 2008 minimum | 2008 annual average | 2008 maximum | minimum
foreign exchange products | $1.8 | $4.7 | $.3 | $1.8 | $4.0 | $.7
interest-rate products | 1.1 | 2.4 |.6 | 1.4 | 3.7 |.1
we back-test the estimated one-day var on a daily basis. this information is reviewed and used to confirm that all relevant trading positions are properly modeled. for the years ended december 31, 2008 and 2007, we did not experience any actual trading losses in excess of our end-of-day var estimate. asset and liability management activities the primary objective of asset and liability management is to provide sustainable and growing net interest revenue, or nir, under varying economic environments, while protecting the economic values of our balance sheet assets and liabilities from the adverse effects of changes in interest rates. most of our nir is earned from the investment of deposits generated by our core investment servicing and investment management businesses. we structure our balance sheet assets to generally conform to the characteristics of our balance sheet liabilities, but we manage our overall interest-rate risk position in the context of current and anticipated market conditions and within internally-approved risk guidelines. our overall interest-rate risk position is maintained within a series of policies approved by the board and guidelines established and monitored by alco. our global treasury group has responsibility for managing state street 2019s day-to-day interest-rate risk. to effectively manage the consolidated balance sheet and related nir, global treasury has the authority to take a limited amount of interest-rate risk based on market conditions and its views about the direction of global interest rates over both short-term and long-term time horizons. global treasury manages our exposure to changes in interest rates on a consolidated basis organized into three regional treasury units, north america, europe and asia/pacific, to reflect the growing, global nature of our exposures and to capture the impact of change in regional market environments on our total risk position. our investment activities and our use of derivative financial instruments are the primary tools used in managing interest-rate risk. we invest in financial instruments with currency, repricing, and maturity characteristics we consider appropriate to manage our overall interest-rate risk position. in addition to on-balance sheet assets, we use certain derivatives, primarily interest-rate swaps, to alter the interest-rate characteristics of specific balance sheet assets or liabilities. the use of derivatives is subject to alco-approved guidelines. additional information about our use of derivatives is in note 17 of the notes to consolidated financial statements included in this form 10-k under item 8. as a result of growth in our non-u.s. operations, non-u.s. dollar denominated customer liabilities are a significant portion of our consolidated balance sheet. this growth results in exposure to changes in the shape and level of non-u.s. dollar yield curves, which we include in our consolidated interest-rate risk management process. because no one individual measure can accurately assess all of our exposures to changes in interest rates, we use several quantitative measures in our assessment of current and potential future exposures to changes in interest rates and their impact on net interest revenue and balance sheet values. net interest revenue simulation is the primary tool used in our evaluation of the potential range of possible net interest revenue results that could occur under a variety of interest-rate environments. we also use market valuation and duration analysis to assess changes in the economic value of balance sheet assets and liabilities caused by assumed changes in interest rates. finally, gap analysis 2014the difference between the amount of balance sheet assets and liabilities re-pricing within a specified time period 2014is used as a measurement of our interest-rate risk position..
in the year of 2008, what was the variance of the foreign exchange products in the first section? 4.4
and what was it in the second section? 3.3
what was, then, the combined total variance for both sections?

the following table shows the impact of catastrophe losses and related reinstatement premiums and the impact of prior period development on our consolidated loss and loss expense ratio for the periods indicated..
- | 2010 | 2009 | 2008
loss and loss expense ratio as reported | 59.2% (59.2%) | 58.8% (58.8%) | 60.6% (60.6%)
catastrophe losses and related reinstatement premiums | (3.2)% (%) | (1.2)% (%) | (4.7)% (%)
prior period development | 4.6% (4.6%) | 4.9% (4.9%) | 6.8% (6.8%)
large assumed loss portfolio transfers | (0.3)% (%) | (0.8)% (%) | 0.0% (0.0%)
loss and loss expense ratio adjusted | 60.3% (60.3%) | 61.7% (61.7%) | 62.7% (62.7%)
we recorded net pre-tax catastrophe losses of $366 million in 2010 compared with net pre-tax catastrophe losses of $137 million and $567 million in 2009 and 2008, respectively. the catastrophe losses for 2010 were primarily related to weather- related events in the u.s., earthquakes in chile, mexico, and new zealand, and storms in australia and europe. the catastrophe losses for 2009 were primarily related to an earthquake in asia, floods in europe, several weather-related events in the u.s., and a european windstorm. for 2008, the catastrophe losses were primarily related to hurricanes gustav and ike. prior period development arises from changes to loss estimates recognized in the current year that relate to loss reserves first reported in previous calendar years and excludes the effect of losses from the development of earned premium from pre- vious accident years. we experienced $503 million of net favorable prior period development in our p&c segments in 2010. this compares with net favorable prior period development in our p&c segments of $576 million and $814 million in 2009 and 2008, respectively. refer to 201cprior period development 201d for more information. the adjusted loss and loss expense ratio declined in 2010, compared with 2009, primarily due to the impact of the crop settlements, non-recurring premium adjustment and the reduction in assumed loss portfolio business, which is written at higher loss ratios than other types of business. our policy acquisition costs include commissions, premium taxes, underwriting, and other costs that vary with, and are primarily related to, the production of premium. administrative expenses include all other operating costs. our policy acquis- ition cost ratio increased in 2010, compared with 2009. the increase was primarily related to the impact of crop settlements, which generated higher profit-share commissions and a lower adjustment to net premiums earned, as well as the impact of reinstatement premiums expensed in connection with catastrophe activity and changes in business mix. our administrative expense ratio increased in 2010, primarily due to the impact of the crop settlements, reinstatement premiums expensed, and increased costs in our international operations. although the crop settlements generate minimal administrative expenses, they resulted in lower adjustment to net premiums earned in 2010, compared with 2009. administrative expenses in 2010, were partially offset by higher net results generated by our third party claims administration business, esis, the results of which are included within our administrative expenses. esis generated $85 million in net results in 2010, compared with $26 million in 2009. the increase is primarily from non-recurring sources. our policy acquisition cost ratio was stable in 2009, compared with 2008, as increases in our combined insurance operations were offset by more favorable final crop year settlement of profit share commissions. administrative expenses increased in 2009, primarily due to the inclusion of administrative expenses related to combined insurance for the full year and costs associated with new product expansion in our domestic retail operation and in our personal lines business. our effective income tax rate, which we calculate as income tax expense divided by income before income tax, is depend- ent upon the mix of earnings from different jurisdictions with various tax rates. a change in the geographic mix of earnings would change the effective income tax rate. our effective income tax rate was 15 percent in 2010, compared with 17 percent and 24 percent in 2009 and 2008, respectively. the decrease in our effective income tax rate in 2010, was primarily due to a change in the mix of earnings to lower tax-paying jurisdictions, a decrease in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits which was the result of a settlement with the u.s. internal revenue service appeals division regarding federal tax returns for the years 2002-2004, and the recognition of a non-taxable gain related to the acquisition of rain and hail. the 2009 year included a reduction of a deferred tax valuation allowance related to investments. for 2008, our effective income tax rate was adversely impacted by a change in mix of earnings due to the impact of catastrophe losses in lower tax-paying jurisdictions. prior period development the favorable prior period development, inclusive of the life segment, of $512 million during 2010 was the net result of sev- eral underlying favorable and adverse movements. with respect to ace 2019s crop business, ace regularly receives reports from its managing general agent (mga) relating to the previous crop year (s) in subsequent calendar quarters and this typically results.
what was the net favorable prior period development in 2010? 503.0
and what was it in 2008? 814.0
what was, then, the change over the years? -311.0

notes to consolidated financial statements 2014 (continued) (amounts in millions, except per share amounts) guarantees we have certain contingent obligations under guarantees of certain of our subsidiaries (201cparent company guarantees 201d) relating principally to credit facilities, guarantees of certain media payables and operating leases. the amount of such parent company guarantees was $255.7 and $327.1 as of december 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. in the event of non-payment by the applicable subsidiary of the obligations covered by a guarantee, we would be obligated to pay the amounts covered by that guarantee. as of december 31, 2008, there are no material assets pledged as security for such parent company guarantees. contingent acquisition obligations we have structured certain acquisitions with additional contingent purchase price obligations in order to reduce the potential risk associated with negative future performance of the acquired entity. in addition, we have entered into agreements that may require us to purchase additional equity interests in certain consolidated and unconsolidated subsidiaries. the amounts relating to these transactions are based on estimates of the future financial performance of the acquired entity, the timing of the exercise of these rights, changes in foreign currency exchange rates and other factors. we have not recorded a liability for these items since the definitive amounts payable are not determinable or distributable. when the contingent acquisition obligations have been met and consideration is determinable and distributable, we record the fair value of this consideration as an additional cost of the acquired entity. however, certain acquisitions contain deferred payments that are fixed and determinable on the acquisition date. in such cases, we record a liability for the payment and record this consideration as an additional cost of the acquired entity on the acquisition date. if deferred payments and purchases of additional interests after the effective date of purchase are contingent upon the future employment of the former owners then we recognize these payments as compensation expense. compensation expense is determined based on the terms and conditions of the respective acquisition agreements and employment terms of the former owners of the acquired businesses. this future expense will not be allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired and is amortized over the required employment terms of the former owners. the following table details the estimated liability with respect to our contingent acquisition obligations and the estimated amount that would be paid in the event of exercise at the earliest exercise date. we have certain put options that are exercisable at the discretion of the minority owners as of december 31, 2008. as such, these estimated acquisition payments of $5.5 have been included within the total payments expected to be made in 2009 in the table below and, if not made in 2009, will continue to carry forward into 2010 or beyond until they are exercised or expire. all payments are contingent upon achieving projected operating performance targets and satisfying other conditions specified in the related agreements and are subject to revisions as the earn-out periods progress. as of december 31, 2008, our estimated future contingent acquisition obligations payable in cash are as follows:.

our ability to restructure or refinance our debt will depend on the condition of the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. any refinancing of our debt could be at higher interest rates and may require us to comply with more onerous covenants, which could further restrict our business operations. in addition, any failure to make payments of interest and principal on our outstanding indebtedness on a timely basis would likely result in a reduction of our credit rating, which could harm our ability to incur additional indebtedness. if our cash flows and available cash are insufficient to meet our debt service obligations, we could face substantial liquidity problems and might be required to dispose of material assets or operations to meet our debt service and other obligations. we may not be able to consummate those dispositions or to obtain the proceeds that we could realize from them, and these proceeds may not be adequate to meet any debt service obligations then due. item 1b. unresolved staff comments item 2. properties a summary of our significant locations at december 31, 2013 is shown in the following table. all facilities are leased, except for 165000 square feet of our office in alpharetta, georgia. square footage amounts are net of space that has been sublet or part of a facility restructuring..
