Note 2 – Investments

Seaboard’s short-term investments are treated as either available-for-sale securities or trading securities. All of Seaboard’s available-for-sale and trading securities are classified as current assets as they are readily available to support Seaboard’s current operating needs. Available-for-sale securities are recorded at their estimated fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported, net of tax, as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Trading securities are recorded at their estimated fair value with unrealized gains and losses reflected in other investment income (loss), net. At September 27, 2014 and December 31, 2013, amortized cost and estimated fair value were not materially different for these investments. At September 27, 2014, money market funds included $4,875,000 denominated in Canadian dollars.

The following is a summary of the amortized cost and estimated fair value of short-term investments for both available-for-sale and trading securities at September 27, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
