[1] See the Little Sheep Acquisition and Impairment section as well as the Refranchising (Gain) Loss section of Note 4 for further discussion. (b)Refranchising related impairment results from writing down the assets of restaurants or restaurant groups offered for refranchising, including certain instances where a decision has been made to refranchise restaurants that are deemed to be impaired. The fair value measurements used in our impairment evaluations were based on estimates of the sales prices we anticipated receiving from a buyer for the restaurant or restaurant groups (Level 3) or actual bids received from potential buyers (Level 2).

[2] During the fourth quarter of 2012, we refranchised our remaining 331 Company-owned Pizza Hut dine-in restaurants in the United Kingdom ("UK"). For the year to date ended September 8, 2012 we recorded pre-tax losses of $24 million due to the then planned refranchising of these restaurants.

[3] In the quarter ended September 7, 2013 and in the years to date ended September 7, 2013 and September 8, 2012, U.S. Refranchising (gain) loss primarily relates to gains on the sales of Taco Bell restaurants.

[4] Includes U.S. refranchising gains of $37 million for the quarter ended September 7, 2013. Includes U.S. refranchising gains of $82 million and $53 million for the years to date ended September 7, 2013 and September 8, 2012, respectively, and losses of $24 million related to the planned refranchising of our Pizza Hut UK dine-in business for the year to date ended September 8, 2012. See the Refranchising (Gain)Loss section of Note 4.

[5] Amounts have not been allocated to any segment for performance reporting purposes.

[6] Store closure (income) costs include the net gain or loss on sales of real estate on which we formerly operated a Company restaurant that was closed, lease reserves established when we cease using a property under an operating lease and subsequent adjustments to those reserves and other facility-related expenses from previously closed stores.

[7] This table excludes $295 million of Little Sheep impairment losses that were not allocated to any segment for performance reporting purposes. See the Little Sheep Acquisition and Impairment section of Note 4 for details.

[8] Amount represents impairment loss related to Little Sheep for the quarter and year to date ended September 7, 2013. See the Little Sheep Acquisition and Impairment section of Note 4.
