under the uncommitted lines of credit. As of March 3, 2007, there was approximately $6.9 million of outstanding letters of credit
and approximately $40.0 million of outstanding unsecured standby letters of credit, primarily for certain insurance programs.
Although no assurances can be provided, the Company intends to renew both uncommitted lines of credit before the respective
expiration dates.

rities, which are stated at amortized cost; available-for-sale auction rate securities, which are stated at cost or par value which
approximates fair value; and trading securities, which are stated at fair market value. The securities as of March 3, 2007 and
February 25, 2006 are as follows:

Trading Securities:

Total investment securities $ 877.6 $ 798.0
Those investment securities with contractual maturity dates or interest reset dates within one year are classified as short term
investment securities. All other investment securities are classified as long term investment securities. The contractual maturity
dates of held-to-maturity investment securities extend to January 2018 and the available-for-sale investment securities do not
have stated contractual maturities due to the nature of the investment vehicle. Actual maturities could differ from contractual
maturities because borrowers have the right to call certain obligations.
As of March 3, 2007, the fair value of short term and long term held-to-maturity securities were $393.0 million and $102.5 million,
respectively. As of February 25, 2006, the fair value of short term and long term held-to-maturity securities were $289.8 million
and $390.0 million, respectively.

respectively, relating to held-to-maturity investment securities with fair values totaling $405.8 million and $678.8 million, respec-
tively. As of March 3, 2007, $361.0 million of these investment securities have been in a continuous unrecognized loss position
for more than 12 months. Unrecognized holding losses typically will not result in a recognized expense if the underlying securities
are held to maturity as intended. Gross unrecognized holding gains relating to held-to-maturity investment securities were approxi-
mately $0.6 million as of March 3, 2007 and were not material as of February 25, 2006. As of March 3, 2007 and February 25, 2006,
