Note 5 — Other impairment charges

During the nine months ended September 25, 2011, the Company recognized impairment charges of $3.1 million related to the decline in value of its investments in affiliates that are considered to be other than temporary. In making this determination, the Company considered multiple factors, including its intent and ability to hold investments, operating losses of investees that demonstrate an inability to recover the carrying value of the investments, the investee's liquidity and cash position and market acceptance of the investee's products and services.
