The Company tests for other than temporary losses on a quarterly basis and has considered the unrealized losses indicated above to be temporary in nature. The Company intends to hold the investments until it can recover the full principal amount and has the ability to do so based on other sources of liquidity. The Company expects such recoveries to occur prior to the contractual maturities.

The Company did not recognize any gross realized gains or losses during the years ended December 31, 2022 or 2021.

As part of the merger, the Company acquired an investment totaling $250,000 in preferred shares of Kogniz, Inc., a privately owned artificial intelligence company based in Silicon Valley, CA. The Company’s investment represented less than 10% of the outstanding equity of Kogniz. The Company uses the cost method to account for investments in common stock of entities such as Kogniz if the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial matters of the entity. The Company also uses the cost method to account for its investments that are not in the form of common stock or in-substance common stock in entities if the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the entity’s operating and financial matters. Based on Kogniz’s 2022 performance and overall financial outlook, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $250,000 within operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.
