During the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, we recognized $3.6 million, $2.8 million and $1.5 million of income, respectively, related to interest earned on cash balances and notes receivable from insurance companies. Please refer to Note 19 Contingencies for further discussion on the Company's notes receivable from insurance companies.
During the year ended December 31, 2015, we recorded $4.2 million of losses associated with the disposal of net assets related to the Safety Works business in our Americas segment. A discounted cash flow valuation was also performed and showed that the book value of intangible assets used to support certain non-core product sales exceeded their fair value by $0.7 million in our Americas segment. Additionally, we recognized a $2.0 million gain on the sale of property in Australia, which is part of our International segment, as the Company continues to right-size operations and optimize its global footprint.
