  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:

We had $5.7 million, $1.2 million and $0.9 million of non-cash financing activities related to purchases of PP&E on credit as of the end of fiscal years 2012, 2011 and 2010, 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.
