8.	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.

During fiscal 2010, the Company recognized an other-than-temporary impairment of $0.7 million. The investment impairment was related to the decline in fair value of a publicly-traded equity investment below cost basis that was determined to be other-than-temporary.

There were no realized gains or losses recorded in fiscal 2011, 2010 or 2009.
