Investment Grade Debt Securities
The Company’s investments in investment grade debt securities consist primarily of investments in certificates of deposit, U.S. Treasury securities, government-sponsored enterprise securities, foreign government bonds, mortgage- and asset-backed securities and corporate bonds and notes. The unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in investment grade debt securities were caused by interest rate increases. Due to the fact that the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the severity and duration of the unrealized losses were not significant, the Company considered these unrealized losses to be temporary at September 25, 2005.
Non-Investment Grade Debt Securities
The Company’s investments in non-investment grade debt securities consist primarily of investments in corporate bonds. The unrealized losses on the Company’s investment in non-investment grade debt securities were caused by credit quality and industry or company specific events. Because the severity and duration of the unrealized losses were not significant, the Company considered these unrealized losses to be temporary at September 25, 2005.
Marketable Equity Securities
The Company’s investments in marketable equity securities consist primarily of investments in common stock of large companies and equity mutual funds. The unrealized losses on the Company’s investment in marketable equity securities were caused by overall equity market volatility and industry specific events. The duration and severity of the unrealized losses in relation to the carrying amounts of the individual investments were consistent with typical equity market volatility. Current market forecasts support a recovery of fair value up to (or beyond) the cost of the investment within a reasonable period of time. Accordingly, the Company considered these unrealized losses to be temporary at September 25, 2005.
