The gross realized losses in fiscal 2005 and 2003 included charges of $5 million and $412 million, respectively, related to the impairment
of certain publicly traded equity securities. There were no impairment charges related to publicly traded equity securities in fiscal 2004.
The impairment charges were due to a decline in the fair value of the investments below their cost basis that were judged to be
other-than-temporary. The specific identification method is used to determine the cost basis of fixed income securities disposed of.
The weighted-average method is used to determine the cost basis of publicly traded equity securities disposed of.
