We include realized gains and losses on our available-for-sale debt and equity 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, 2014, 2013 and 2012 were not significant.

We accumulate unrealized gains and losses on our available-for-sale debt and equity 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, 2014 and July 31, 2013 were not significant.

At July 31, 2013, the cumulative gross unrealized gain on our available-for-sale corporate equity security was approximately $28 million. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, we sold this security for $26 million and recorded the gain of $21 million in interest and other income in our statement of operations.

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, 2014 were not other-than-temporarily impaired. Unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities at July 31, 2014 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. We do not intend to sell these investments and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell them before recovery at par, which may be at maturity.

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