\1\ In the old series, ``income taxes'' refers to Federal income taxes only, as State and local income taxes had already been deducted. In the new series, no income taxes have been deducted.
\2\ Annual data are average equity for the year (using four end-of-quarter figures).
\3\ Beginning 1988, profits before and after income taxes reflect inclusion of minority stockholders' interest in net income before and after income taxes.
\4\ Data for 1992 (most significantly 1992:I) reflect the early adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement 106 (Employer's Accounting for Post-Retirement Benefits Other Than
Pensions) by a large number of companies during the fourth quarter of 1992. Data for 1993:I also reflect adoption of Statement 106. Corporations must show the cumulative effect of a change
in accounting principle in the first quarter of the year in which the change is adopted.

Note.--Data are not necessarily comparable from one period to another due to changes in accounting principles, industry classifications, sampling procedures, etc. For explanatory notes
concerning compilation of the series, see ``Quarterly Financial Report for Manufacturing, Mining, and Trade Corporations,'' Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census.
