During the second quarter of 2021, the Company recognized a realized loss on its convertible debt investments and recorded $260,000 in expense within investment and other income (expense) in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss.

In April 2020, the Company made an $899,000 investment in the common stock of Quortus Ltd., a UK-based company that provides virtual core network software for Private LTE solutions for critical and secure communications. This investment was important for the Company’s Electronics & Software segment because this segment was partnering with Quortus to integrate the Quortus Private LTE core in existing and new products for that segment’s federal business, network extensions, and private networks for enterprises. The Company’s investment represents less than 10% of the outstanding equity of Quortus Ltd. The Company uses the cost method to account for investments in common stock of entities such as Quortus 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.
