Note 9. Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity of a company during a period resulting from certain transactions and other events and circumstances, excluding transactions resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. The difference between net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) for the Company is from unrealized gains (losses) on its available-for-sale securities, net of taxes, and foreign currency translation adjustments. The components of comprehensive income (loss) are as follows

| (In thousands) | ||||||
| Net income (loss) | $302,989 | $125,705 | $(113,607 | ) | ||

In addition, the value of the Company's short-term and long-term investments increased by $3.1 million during fiscal 2004. In accordance with SFAS 115, the Company increased the value of these investments by $3.1 million, increased deferred tax liabilities by $1.2 million and increased accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) by $1.9 million.
