NOTE E – MARKETABLE SECURITIES          

The Company determines the appropriate classification of securities at the time of purchase and reassesses the appropriateness of the classification at each reporting date. At September 28, 2014 and March 30, 2014, all marketable securities held by the Company have been classified as available-for-sale and, as a result, are stated at fair value (Note D), with unrealized gains and losses included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Realized gains and losses on the sale of securities are determined on a specific identification basis. Interest income is recorded when it is earned and deemed realizable by the Company.

The cost, gross unrealized gains, gross unrealized losses and fair market value for marketable securities, which consist entirely of municipal bonds that are classified as available-for-sale securities, are as follows (in thousands):

	Cost		Gross Unrealized Gains		Gross Unrealized Losses		Fair Market Value

The municipal bonds held at September 28, 2014, mature at various dates between October 2014 and April 2017. The following represents the bond maturities by period (in thousands):
