At December 31, 2011, the Company concluded that it had the intent to sell certain available-for-sale securities for which unrealized losses of $5.8 million were previously recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As such, the Company recognized impairment losses of $5.8 million in other income, net, on the Statements of Consolidated Earnings for the three months ended December 31, 2011. Subsequent to December 31, 2011, the Company sold approximately half of its remaining holdings in these securities. For the remaining securities in an unrealized loss position of $13.1 million at December 31, 2011, the Company concluded that it did not have the intent to sell such securities and it was not more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell such securities before recovery. The securities with unrealized losses at December 31, 2011 were primarily comprised of corporate bonds. In order to determine whether such losses were due to credit losses, the Company evaluated such securities utilizing a variety of quantitative and qualitative factors including whether the Company expects to collect all amounts due under the contractual terms of the security, information about current and past events of the issuer, and the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than the cost basis. At December 31, 2011, the Company concluded that unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities held at December 31, 2011 were not credit losses and were attributable to changes in interest rates. As a result, the Company concluded that the $13.1 million in unrealized losses on such securities should be recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2011.
