As of December 26, 2015, the carrying amount of our non-marketable cost method investments includes $966 million related to our investment in UniSpreadtrum. For further information, see "Note 5: Cash and Investments."
During 2015, we received and transferred $213 million of equipment from pre-payments for property, plant and equipment to property, plant and equipment. Substantially all of the equipment was prepaid in 2012 and 2013. We recognized the pre-payments within operating activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows when we paid for the equipment, and the receipt of the equipment is reflected as a non-cash transaction in the current period.
