Revaluations are estimated based on the percent change in the Merrill Lynch Corporate Master par weighted price index applied to the previous quarter's level. Unadjusted transactions are the change in the level less estimated capital gains, less any other changes in volume. Data for the most recent ten years show no significant seasonality.
