The Company did not recognize any gross realized gains or losses during either of the three or six month periods ending June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. If the Company had realized gains or losses, they would be included within investment and other income in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income.

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. The Company believes this investment is important for its Electronics & Software segment because this business segment has begun exploring 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. Investments in common stock or in-substance common stock of entities in which the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial matters of the entity are accounted for using the cost method. Investments in companies that the Company does not control, which are not in the form of common stock or in-substance common stock, are also accounted for using the cost method.
