In fiscal 2010, the Company concluded that it had the intent to sell certain securities for which unrealized losses of $14.4 million previously recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.  As such, the Company realized impairment losses of $14.4 million in other income, net on the Statements of Consolidated Earnings in fiscal 2010. 

 

For the securities in an unrealized loss position of $34.6 million at June 30, 2011, the Company concluded that it did not have the intent to sell such securities and that it was not more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell such securities before recovery, in order to determine whether such losses were due to credit losses.  The securities with unrealized losses of $34.6 million were primarily comprised of corporate bonds and U.S. Treasury and direct obligations of U.S. government agencies.  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 June 30, 2011, the Company concluded that unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities held at June 30, 2011 were not credit losses and were attributable to other factors, including changes in interest rates.  As a result, the Company concluded that the $34.6 million in unrealized losses on such securities should be recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 30, 2011.
