Gains and Losses on Investments

During the three and six months ended May 1, 2016 and April 26, 2015, gross realized gains and losses on investments were not material.

At May 1, 2016 and October 25, 2015, gross unrealized losses related to Applied's investment portfolio were not material. Applied regularly reviews its investment portfolio to identify and evaluate investments that have indications of possible impairment. Factors considered in determining whether an unrealized loss is considered to be temporary, or other-than-temporary and therefore impaired, include: the length of time and extent to which fair value has been lower than the cost basis; the financial condition, credit quality and near-term prospects of the investee; and whether it is more likely than not that Applied will be required to sell the security prior to recovery. Generally, the contractual terms of investments in marketable securities do not permit settlement at prices less than the amortized cost of the investments. Applied determined that the gross unrealized losses on its marketable securities at May 1, 2016 and April 26, 2015 were temporary in nature and therefore it did not recognize any impairment of its marketable securities during the three and six months ended May 1, 2016 or April 26, 2015. Impairment charges on equity investments in privately-held companies during the three and six months ended May 1, 2016 and April 26, 2015 were not material. These impairment charges are included in interest and other income, net in the Consolidated Condensed Statement of Operations.

Unrealized gains and temporary losses on investments classified as available-for-sale are included within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of any related tax effect. Upon realization, those amounts are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to results of operations.
