[1] In 2010 we refranchised our then-remaining Company-operated restaurants in Mexico. To the extent we owned it, we did not sell the real estate related to certain of these restaurants, instead leasing it to the franchisee. During the quarter ended June 13, 2015, we initiated plans to sell this real estate and determined it was held for sale in accordance with GAAP. On September 28, 2015, subsequent to our quarter ended September 5, 2015, we sold the real estate for approximately $58 million. While these proceeds exceeded the book value of the real estate, the sale represented a substantial liquidation of our Mexican operations under GAAP. Accordingly, we were required to include accumulated translation losses associated with our Mexican business within our carrying value when performing impairment evaluations subsequent to determining that the real estate was held for sale. We recorded charges of $12 million and $80 million in the quarter and year to date ended September 5, 2015, respectively, representing the excess of the sum of the book value of the real estate and other related assets and our accumulated translation losses over the then-expected sales price. Consistent with the classification of the original market refranchising transaction, these charges were classified as Refranchising (Gain) Loss. Refranchising Losses of $4 million and $40 million were associated with the KFC Division for the quarter and year to date ended September 5, 2015, respectively. Refranchising Losses of $8 million and $40 million were associated with the Pizza Hut Division for the quarter and year to date ended September 5, 2015, respectively. The proceeds ultimately received for the real estate approximated our carrying value including the remaining unrecognized accumulated translation losses as of September 5, 2015.Additionally, during the quarter and year to date ended September 5, 2015 we recognized charges of $8 million and $13 million, respectively, within Refranchising (Gain) Loss associated with the planned refranchising of our company-owned Pizza Hut restaurants in Korea.
