Analysis of Investments

Accounting Policy on Investments
Investment securities primarily consist of readily marketable debt securities. Unrealized gains or losses from investments classified as trading, if any, are charged to earnings. Unrealized gains or losses on debt securities classified as available-for-sale are recorded in OCI. If an available-for-sale security is other than temporarily impaired, the loss is charged to either earnings or OCI depending on the intent and ability to retain the security until P&G recovers the full cost basis and the extent of the loss attributable to the creditworthiness of the issuer. Investment securities are included as Available-for-sale investment securities and Other noncurrent assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Investments in certain companies over which P&G exerts significant influence, but does not control the financial and operating decisions, are accounted for as equity method investments. Other investments that are not controlled, and over which P&G does not have the ability to exercise significant influence, are accounted for under the cost method. Both equity and cost method investments are included as Other noncurrent assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
