Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] |
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | 4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Financial instruments are categorized as Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 based upon the method by which their fair value is computed. An investment is categorized as Level 1 when its fair value is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. An investment is categorized as Level 2 if its fair market value is based on quoted market prices for similar assets in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, based on observable inputs such as interest rates, yield curves, or derived from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. An investment is categorized as Level 3 if its fair value is based on assumptions developed by the Company about what a market participant would use in pricing the assets. The following table details the fair value measurements of the Company’s financial assets: SCHEDULE OF FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS OF FINANCIAL ASSETS

Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are reported at the beginning of the reporting period in which they occur. Changes in Level 3 investments were as follows: SCHEDULE OF FAIR VALUE, LIABILITIES MEASURED ON RECURRING BASIS
|  | December 31, 2022 |  |  | Net unrealized losses |  |  | Foreign currency losses |  |  | Purchases, issuances and settlements |  |  | July 1, 2023 |
Equity investments |  | $ | 7,508,190 |  |  | $ | (3,327,347 | ) |  | $ | (172,532 | ) |  | $ | 439,454 |  |  | $ | 4,447,765 |
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of their short-term nature. If accrued liabilities were carried at fair value, these would be classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Marketable Debt Securities Corporate debt consists of floating rate notes with a maturity that is over multiple years but has interest rates that are reset every three months based on the then-current three-month London Interbank Offering Rate (“Three-month Libor”). The Company validates the fair market values of the financial instruments above by using discounted cash flow models, obtaining independent pricing of the securities or through the use of a model that incorporates the Three-month Libor, the credit default swap rate of the issuer and the bid and ask price spread of the same or similar investments which are traded on several markets. Equity Investments From 2017 through 2019, the Company made several equity investments in a customer. In the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company reviewed the financial condition and other factors of the customer and, as a result, recorded an impairment charge of $5.2 million to reduce its investment in the customer to zero as of December 28, 2019. In the first quarter of 2022 the customer raised additional equity capital and based on an observable price change of the customer’s share prices and terms of the equity sale the Company remeasured the fair market value of its investment and recorded a gain of $4.7 million. In the second quarter of 2022, the Company made an additional equity investment of $0.5 million. During the quarter ended July 1, 2023, the Company received common stock of the equity investment valued at approximately $0.4 million for the payment of royalties. The Company also performed an impairment evaluation and as a result recorded an impairment charge of approximately $3.1 million. As of July 1, 2023, the Company owned an approximate 3.4% interest in this investment. On September 30, 2019, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the Company sold and licensed certain assets of our SolosTM product line and WhisperTM Audio technology. As consideration for the transaction, the Company received a 20.0% equity stake in Solos Incorporation (“Solos Inc.”). The Company’s 20.0% equity stake will be maintained until Solos Inc. has raised a total of $7.5 million in equity financing. Based on the price paid for equity by the other 80.0% owners of Solos Inc. and other factors, the Company estimated the fair value of its equity holdings at $0.6 million and in 2019 recorded a $0.6 million gain on its investment for this equity transaction as the basis of assets transferred was zero. The investment was written down to $0.4 million as a result of an impairment analysis and write down performed in 2020. In the second quarter ending July 1, 2023 the Company reviewed its investment and wrote-down the investment to $0.2 million. During the three and six months ended July 1, 2023, the Company recorded less than $0.2 million of unrealized losses on an equity interest in a company due to a fluctuation in the foreign exchange rate.
