PARTI

Item 1.             Business.

YUM! Brands, Inc. (referred to herein as "YUM" or the "Company"), was incorporated under the laws of the state of North Carolina in 1997. The principal executive offices of YUM are located at 1441 Gardiner Lane, Louisville, Kentucky 40213, and the telephone number at that location is (502) 874-8300.

YUM, the registrant, together with its subsidiaries, is referred to in this Form 10-K annual report ("Form 10-K") as the Company. The terms "we," "us" and "our" are also used in the Form 10-K to refer to the Company.

This Form 10-K should be read in conjunction with the Cautionary Statements on page 52.

(a)         General Development of Business

In January 1997, PepsiCo announced its decision to spin-off its restaurant businesses to shareholders as an independent public company (the "Spin-off). Effective October 6, 1997, PepsiCo disposed of its restaurant businesses by distributing all of the outstanding shares of common stock of YUM to its shareholders.

On May 7, 2002, YUM completed the acquisition of Yorkshire Global Restaurants, Inc. ("YGR"), the parent company and operator of Long John Silver's ("LJS") and A&W Ail-American Food Restaurants ("A&W"). Additionally, on May 16, 2002, following receipt of shareholder approval, the Company changed its name from TRICON Global Restaurants, Inc. to YUM! Brands, Inc.

Throughout this Form 10-K, the terms "restaurants," "stores" and "units" are used interchangeably.

(b)        Financial Information about Operating Segments

YUM consists of six operating segments: KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, LJS/A&W, YUM Restaurants International ("YRI" or "International Division") and YUM Restaurants China ("China Division"). For financial reporting purposes, management considers the four U.S. operating segments to be similar and, therefore, has aggregated them into a single reportable operating segment. In 2005, we began reporting information for our international business in two separate operating segments as a result of changes to our management reporting structure. The China Division includes mainland China ("China"), Thailand and KFC Taiwan, and the International Division includes the remainder of our international operations.

Operating segment information for the years ended December 31, 2005, December.25, 2004 and December 27, 2003 for the Company is included in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") in Part II, Item 7, pages 25 through 52 and in the related Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes in Pan II, Item 8, pages 53 through 96.

(c)         Narrative Description of Business
