Note 9: Investments

Our consolidated balance sheet at April 26, 2014, included $15.9 million of available-for-sale investments and $1.8 million of trading securities in other current assets and $43.2 million of available-for-sale investments in other long-term assets. Available-for-sale investments of $10.8 million and trading securities of $1.1 million were included in other current assets, and available-for-sale investments of $29.2 million were included in other long-term assets in our consolidated balance sheet at April 27, 2013. At April 26, 2014, and April 27, 2013, $44.7 million and $29.9 million, respectively, of these investments were to enhance returns on our cash. The remaining investments were designated to fund future obligations of our non-qualified defined benefit retirement plan and our executive deferred compensation plan. If there were a decline in the fair value of an investment below its cost and the decline was considered other-than-temporary, the amount of decline below cost would be charged against earnings.

The following is a summary of investments at April 26, 2014, and April 27, 2013:
