We include realized gains and losses on our available-for-sale debt securities in interest and other income, net in our statements of operations. Gross realized gains and losses on our available-for-sale debt securities for the twelve months ended July 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 were not significant.


We accumulate unrealized gains and losses on our available-for-sale debt securities, net of tax, in accumulated other comprehensive income in the stockholders’ equity section of our balance sheets. Gross unrealized gains and losses on our available-for-sale debt securities at July 31, 2011 and July 31, 2010 were not significant.


We periodically review our investment portfolios to determine if any investment is other-than-temporarily impaired due to changes in credit risk or other potential valuation concerns. We believe that the investments that we held at July 31, 2011 were not other-than-temporarily impaired. Unrealized losses at July 31, 2011 were not significant and are due to changes in interest rates, including market credit spreads, and not due to increased credit risks associated with specific securities.


The following table summarizes our available-for-sale debt securities classified by the stated maturity date of the security at the dates indicated.

All of the remaining securities in that category had effective maturities of three years or less due to interest reset dates or mandatory call dates.
