Under the terms of the limited partnership agreement, the Company contributed a total of $10,000,000 during the fiscal years ended April 30, 2021 and 2022, and there were no further contribution commitments to this fund as of April 30, 2022. In March 2022, the Company entered into a limited partnership agreement with a second limited partnership fund also focusing on highly relevant technologies and start-up companies serving defense and industrial markets. Under the terms of the second limited partnership agreement, the Company is committed to contributions totaling $20,000,000 over an expected five year period. During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2023, the Company made total contributions of $5,778,000. The Company made no capital contributions during the three months ended July 29, 2023. Under the terms of the second limited partnership agreement, the Company has committed to make additional capital contributions of $14,222,000 to the fund. The Company accounts for investments in limited partnerships as equity method investments as the Company is deemed to have influence when it holds more than a minor interest. For the three months ended July 29, 2023 and July 30, 2022, the Company recorded its ownership percentage of the net losses of the limited partnerships, or $(21,000) and $(500,000), respectively, in equity method investment loss, net of $0 tax in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, respectively.
