At June 30, 2004 unrealized losses of $293 million consisted of: $188 million related to investment grade fixed income securities, $43 million related to investments in high yield and emerging market fixed income securities, $49 million related to domestic equity securities and $13 million related to international equity securities. Unrealized losses from fixed income securities are primarily attributable to changes in interest rates. Unrealized losses from domestic and international equities are due to market price movements. Of the unrealized losses of $293 million at June 30, 2004,$51 million exceeded twelve months. Management does not believe any unrealized losses represent an other-than temporary impairment based on our evaluation of available evidence as of June 30, 2004.

Common and preferred stock and other investments that are restricted for more than one year or are not publicly traded are recorded at cost. At June 30, 2003, the recorded basis of these investments was $2.15 billion, and their estimated fair value was $2.56 billion. At June 30, 2004 the recorded basis of these investments was $1.65 billion, and their estimated fair value was $2.12 billion. The estimate of fair value is based on publicly available market information or other estimates determined by management.

The maturities of debt securities at June 30, 2004 were as follows:

(In millions) Cost basis   Estimated fair value
 
Due in one year or less $37,348   $37,388
Due after one year through five years 14,077   14,064
Due after five years through ten years 5,636   5,665
Due after ten years 4,994   4,956
   Total $62,055   $62,073

 

Debt securities include fixed maturity securities.
