a.      Income from installment sales of properties included in pretax accounting income in 2011 exceeded that reported for tax purposes by 3 million.  The installment receivable account at year-end had a balance of 4 million (representing portions of 2010 and 2011 installment sales), expected to be collected equally in 2012 and 2013.

 

b.      Sherrod was assessed a penalty of 2 million by the Environmental Protection Agency for violation of a federal law in 2011.  The fine is to be paid in equal amounts in 2011 and 2012.
