We have classified all of our investments listed in the tables above as available-for-sale securities recorded at fair market value in our condensed consolidated balance sheets, with unrealized gains and losses reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Upon sale, amounts of gains and losses reclassified into earnings are determined based on specific identification of the securities sold.
The following tables show the gross unrealized losses and the fair value for those available-for-sale securities that were in an unrealized loss position:

The unrealized losses on our available-for-sale securities were primarily a result of unfavorable changes in interest rates subsequent to the initial purchase of these securities. As of March 30, 2012, we owned 29 securities that were in an unrealized loss position. We do not intend to sell, nor do we believe we will need to sell, these securities before we recover the associated unrealized losses. We do not consider any portion of the unrealized losses at September 30, 2011 or March 30, 2012 to be an other-than-temporary impairment, nor do we consider any of the unrealized losses to be credit losses.
The following table summarizes the amortized cost and estimated fair value of short-term and long-term available-for-sale investments based on stated maturities:

The primary driver of the decrease in inventories from September 30, 2011 to March 30, 2012 is an effort to reduce overall inventory levels in connection with the restructuring of our manufacturing operations and to match anticipated demand for products.

Additionally, $8.8 million of raw materials inventory is included within other non-current assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 30, 2012. This inventory was purchased in bulk in fiscal 2012 to obtain a significant volume discount, and is expected to be consumed over a period that exceeds 12 months. We have reviewed anticipated consumption rates of this inventory and do not believe there to be material risk of obsolescence prior to the ultimate sale of the inventory. As a result no reserve has been recorded as of March 30, 2012. All inventory was classified as current as of September 30, 2011.
