Other Investments

Other investments consist of equity securities and other long-term investments. Investments are stated at fair value, which is based on market quotes or on a cost-basis, dependent on the nature of the investment, as appropriate. Adjustments to the fair value of investments classified as available-for-sale are recorded as an increase or decrease in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income, unless the adjustment is considered an other-than-temporary impairment, in which case the adjustment is recorded as a charge in the statement of income.

Realized gains or losses on investments are determined based on the specific identification basis and are recognized in nonoperating (income) expense. Gross realized gains of approximately $1.3 million and gross realized losses of approximately $0.1 million on sales of available-for-sale investments were recognized in fiscal 2012. There were no material net realized gains or losses from the sales of available-for-sale investments during fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2011.

There were no net unrealized gains or losses on securities classified as other investments as of November 2, 2013 and November 3, 2012.
