  The fiscal year 2012 interest paid includes $30.0 million of interest accelerated as a result of the refinance of the 11.50% Notes as discussed in Note 5.

In January 2011, we contributed real property valued at $49.7 million to our defined benefit pension plan and have recorded a financing obligation equal to the same amount for leases entered into with the defined benefit pension plan for our operations. In addition, in 2011 we sold property in Miami but retained use of the property rent-free through May 2013. As a result the transaction was treated as a financing transaction (see Note 3 for a description of this transaction and the related accounting treatment) and land was transferred to PP&E. These non-cash transactions are summarized below:

	Year Ended
(in thousands)	December 25, 2011
Financing obligation for contribution of real property to pension plan	$	49,710
Reduction of pension obligation		(49,710	)
Non-refundable deposits offset against carrying value of land		(16,500	)
Increase in PP&E for land transferred from other assets		116,000

As of December 29, 2013, other non-cash financing activities included the release of $238.1 million for the financing obligation related to the Miami property transaction because we no longer have a continuing involvement with the Miami property (see Note 3). As of December 29, 2013, other non-cash investing activities included the release of $227.7 million from property, plant and equipment ("PP&E"), which also relates to the conclusion of the Miami property transaction.

We had $0.2 million, $5.7 million and $1.2 million of non-cash financing activities related to purchases of PP&E on credit as of the end of fiscal years 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. We had $1.0 million of non-cash financing activities related to financing costs for our 9.00% Notes issuance as of the end of fiscal year 2012.
