In July 2020, prior to our filing of our Form 10-Q for the second quarter of 2020, we received a draft complaint from the Federal Trade Commission and recorded an accrual of $150.0 million, which is included in accrued and other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets and in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations, as described in Note 14 in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in our Form 10-Q for the second quarter of 2020.
The Company adopted the new accounting standard on the presentation of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows retrospectively during the three months ended March 31, 2018. As a result of the adoption, cash flows from investing activities were adjusted to exclude the changes in
restricted cash for all historical periods presented prior to Q1'18.

In July 2020, prior to our filing of our Form 10-Q for the second quarter of 2020, we received a draft complaint from the Federal Trade Commission and recorded $150.0 million in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
The non-GAAP benefit from income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019 includes benefits of $124.4 million and $1.08 billion, respectively, from the establishment of deferred tax assets from intra-entity transfers of intangible assets. The non-GAAP provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2020 includes a provision of $1.11 billion related to the establishment of a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets.
