As of March 29, 2014, the gross unrealized losses that had been outstanding for less than twelve months were primarily related to mortgage-backed securities and a debt mutual fund due to the general rising of the interest-rate environment, although the percentage of such losses to the total estimated fair value of the mortgage-backed securities and the debt mutual fund was relatively insignificant. The gross unrealized losses that had been outstanding for more than twelve months were primarily related to mortgage-backed securities, which were primarily due to the general rising of the interest-rate environment, and failed auction rate securities, which were due to adverse conditions in the global credit markets during the past five years.

The Company reviewed the investment portfolio and determined that the gross unrealized losses on these investments as of March 29, 2014 and March 30, 2013 were temporary in nature as evidenced by the fluctuations in the gross unrealized losses within the investment categories. These investments are highly rated by the credit rating agencies and there have been no defaults on any of these securities, and we have received interest payments as they become due. Additionally, in the past several years a portion of the Company's investment in the auction rate securities and the mortgage-backed securities were redeemed or prepaid by the debtors at par. Furthermore, the aggregate of individual unrealized losses that had been outstanding for twelve months or more was not significant as of March 29, 2014 and March 30, 2013. The Company neither intends to sell these investments nor concludes that it is more-likely-than-not that it will have to sell them until recovery of their carrying values. The Company also believes that it will be able to collect both principal and interest amounts due to the Company at maturity, given the high credit quality of these investments and any related underlying collateral.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of marketable debt securities (financial institution securities, non-financial institution securities, auction rate securities, municipal bonds, U.S. and foreign government and agency securities and mortgage-backed securities), by contractual maturity, are shown below. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations without call or prepayment penalties.



	March 29, 2014
(In thousands)	Amortized Cost		Estimated Fair Value
Due in one year or less	$	1,614,563	$	1,614,735
Due after one year through five years	437,854		440,661
Due after five years through ten years	231,266		232,909
Due after ten years	1,027,718		1,026,142
	$	3,311,401	$	3,314,447

As of March 29, 2014, $585.9 million of marketable debt securities with contractual maturities of greater than one year were classified as short-term investments. Additionally, the above table did not include investments in money market and mutual funds because these funds do not have specific contractual maturities.
