|--------------------------------|--------|--------|--------|
| **Realized gains (losses)**    |        |        |        |
| Sale of Johnson & Johnson      |        |        |        |
| Sale of Mattel                 |        |        |        |
| Sale of Sony                   |        |        |        |
| Sale of Sara Lee               |        |        |        |
| Sale of Kodak                  |        |        |        |

| **Unrealized gains (losses) at year-end** |        |        |        |

The table is structured to capture financial information over three years for various sales of debt securities. It categorizes gains and losses into "Realized gains (losses)" for completed sales and "Unrealized gains (losses)" for valuations yet to be realized at each year's end. Each company listed represents a transaction requiring data entry for financial reporting.
