Investments in Equity Securities | INVESTMENTS IN EQUITY SECURITIES Vislink In 2014, the Company acquired a 3.3% interest in Vislink plc (“Vislink”), a U.K. public company listed on the AIM exchange, for $3.3 million. On February 3, 2017, Vislink completed the disposal of its hardware division and changed its name to Pebble Beach Systems (“PBS”). The Company does not have significant influence over PBS’s operational and financial policies. The carrying value of the investment in PBS was fully written off as of December 31, 2017. Beginning the first quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments (Topic 825): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which requires equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. As a result of adopting this new standard, the Company started measuring the investment in PBS at fair value based on its quoted stock price on the AIM exchange with gains or losses from changes in fair value recognized in net income. The Company sold this investment for $0.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018. The Company recorded a loss of $0.1 million and a gain of $0.1 million related to this investment in Other expense, net during the three and nine months ended September 28, 2018. Unconsolidated Variable Interest Entities (“VIE”) EDC In 2014, the Company acquired an 18.4% interest in Encoding.com, Inc. (“EDC”), a privately held video transcoding service company headquartered in San Francisco, California, for $3.5 million by purchasing EDC’s Series B preferred stock. EDC is considered a VIE but the Company determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of EDC. As a result, EDC is measured at its cost minus impairment, if any. The Company determined that there were no indicators at September 28, 2018 that the EDC investment was impaired.

- Definition The entire disclosure for investments accounted for under the cost-method. The carrying amount of such investments may be adjusted, for example, distributions in excess of cost (return of capital) or for other-than-temporary impairments. The cost method and lower-of-cost or market, an adaptation of the cost method, is generally followed for most investments in noncontrolled corporations, in some corporate joint ventures, and to a lesser extent in unconsolidated subsidiaries in which the entity does not have the ability to exercise significant influence. + References No definition available. + Details
