[1] As discussed further in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, on April 11, 2012 we acquired the royalty stream from four open, and one not yet open, Lime Fresh franchise restaurants. This restaurant opened in fiscal 2013. Additionally, one of the Lime Fresh franchise restaurant openings in each of fiscal 2014 and 2013 was opened in Chile by an international franchisee. Both of these restaurants closed during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014.
