The decrease in noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries from $35.3 million as of December 31, 2010 to $23.6 million as of December 31, 2011 reflected the noncontrolling interests’ share of losses of these entities as well as the impact of currency translation adjustments.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Our principal source of liquidity is operating cash flows.
Our net income and, consequently, our cash provided from operations are impacted by: sales volume, seasonal sales patterns, timing of new product introductions, profit margins and price changes.
Sales are typically higher during the third and fourth quarters of the year due to seasonal and holiday-related sales patterns.
Generally, working capital needs peak during the summer months.
We meet these needs primarily by utilizing cash on hand or by issuing commercial paper.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities Our cash flows provided from (used by) operating activities were as follows:
## Table 0 ##
?
Over the past three years, total cash provided from operating activities was approximately $2.5 billion.  ?
Depreciation and amortization expenses increased in 2011, in comparison with 2010 primarily due to higher accelerated depreciation charges related to the Next Century program.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS, CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND COMMITMENTS As of December 31, 2011, our contractual cash obligations by year were as follows:
## Table 1 ##
In entering into contractual obligations, we have assumed the risk that might arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.
We mitigate this risk by performing financial assessments prior to contract execution, conducting periodic evaluations of counterparty performance and maintaining a diverse portfolio of qualified counterparties.
As of December 31, 2011, we did not have any material obligations with European financial institutions.
Our risk is limited to replacing the contracts at prevailing market rates.
We do not expect any significant losses resulting from counterparty defaults.
Purchase Obligations We enter into certain obligations for the purchase of raw materials.
These obligations were primarily in the form of forward contracts for the purchase of raw materials from third-party brokers and dealers.
These contracts minimize the effect of future price fluctuations by fixing the price of part or all of these purchase obligations.
Total obligations for each year presented above consists of fixed price contracts for the purchase of commodities and unpriced contracts that were valued using market prices as of December 31, 2011.
The cost of commodities associated with the unpriced contracts is variable as market prices change over future periods.
We mitigate the variability of these costs to the extent we have entered into commodities futures contracts or other commodity derivative instruments to hedge our costs for those periods.
Increases or decreases in market prices are offset by gains or losses on commodities futures contracts or other commodity derivative instruments.
This applies to the extent that we have hedged the unpriced contracts as of December 31, 2011 and in future periods by entering into commodities futures contracts.
Taking delivery of and making payments for the specific commodities for use in the manufacture of finished goods satisfies our obligations under the forward purchase contracts.
For each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011, we satisfied these obligations by taking delivery of and making payment for the specific commodities.
Lease Obligations Lease obligations include the minimum rental commitments under non-cancelable operating leases primarily for retail stores, warehouse and distribution facilities, offices and certain equipment.
Asset Retirement Obligations We have a number of facilities that contain varying amounts of asbestos in certain locations within the facilities.
Our asbestos management program is compliant with current applicable regulations.
Current regulations require that we handle or dispose of asbestos in a special manner if such facilities undergo major renovations or are demolished.
Plans associated with the closure of a manufacturing facility under the Next Century program may require the removal of asbestos.
The estimated liability associated with the possible removal of asbestos from the facility is not material and is included in our estimates.

THE HERSHEY COMPANY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued) The following table sets forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, pension plan assets at their fair value as of December 31, 2010:
## Table 2 ##
(a) This category comprises equity funds that track the Russell 3000 index.
(b) This category comprises equity funds that track the S&P 500 and/or Russell 1000 indices.
(c) This category comprises equity funds that track the MSCI World Ex-US index.
(d) This category comprises equity funds that track the MSCI World index.
(e) This category comprises fixed income funds primarily invested in investment grade bonds.
(f) This category comprises fixed income funds primarily invested in high quality mortgage-backed securities and other asset-backed obligations.
(g) This category comprises fixed income funds invested in Canadian and other international bonds.
The fair value of the Level 1 assets was based on quoted market prices in active markets for the identical assets.
The fair value of the Level 2 assets was provided by asset management entities and was calculated by aggregating market prices for all underlying securities.
Investment objectives for our domestic plan assets are: ?
To optimize the long-term return on plan assets at an acceptable level of risk; ?
To maintain a broad diversification across asset classes; ?
To maintain careful control of the risk level within each asset class; and ?
To focus on a long-term return objective.
We believe that there are no significant concentrations of risk within our plan assets as of December 31, 2011.
We comply with ERISA rules and regulations and we prohibit investments and investment strategies not allowed by ERISA.
We do not permit direct purchases of our Company’s securities or the use of derivatives for the purpose of speculation.
We invest the assets of non-domestic plans in compliance with laws and regulations applicable to those plans.
A valuation allowance totaling $43.9 million, $40.4 million and $40.1 million as of 2012, 2011 and 2010 year end, respectively, has been established for deferred income tax assets primarily related to certain subsidiary loss carryforwards that may not be realized.
Realization of the net deferred income tax assets is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income prior to their expiration.
Although realization is not assured, management believes it is morelikely-than-not that the net deferred income tax assets will be realized.
The amount of the net deferred income tax assets considered realizable, however, could change in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period fluctuate.
