(a) Asset impairment charges in the current year were incurred primarily in the Food Distribution segment and relate to the evaluation of the expected net proceeds from the Fresh Kitchen facility which is currently held-for-sale, the exit of the Fresh Cut business, and the sale of equipment related to both Fresh Cut and Fresh Kitchen, which totaled $9.1 million. Due to the decision to abandon a tradename within the Food Distribution segment to better integrate with the Company’s overall transportation operations, an impairment charge of $7.0 million was recognized. In the prior year, charges primarily relate to the Fresh Production operations within the Food Distribution segment.

(b) The charge on the customer advance relates to an advance to an independent retailer customer which was not fully recoverable.

(c) Gain on sales of assets in the prior year primarily relates to the sale of a previously closed distribution center in the Food Distribution segment.

(d) Severance in the current year was related to the exit of the Fresh Cut business.

(e) Other costs primarily relate to the Fresh Cut and store closings in the current year, and a Food Distribution warehouse and store closings in the prior year.

(f) Changes in estimates primarily relate to revised estimates for turnover and other lease ancillary costs associated with previously closed locations, due to favorable dispute resolutions with landlords and fluctuations in the amount of certain ancillary costs, as well as reductions in the amount of estimated severance benefits.
