5.COMPOSITION OF CERTAIN FINANCIAL STATEMENT ITEMS

 

Investments

 

Investments are stated at market value and consist of the following (in thousands):

 

          
   June 30,
2022		   June 30,
2021		 
Marketable equity securities – short-term  $755   $1,295 
Marketable equity securities – long-term   1,779    1,704 
Total Marketable equity securities  $2,534   $2,999 

 

Investments at June 30, 2022 and 2021 had an aggregate cost basis of $2,796,000 and $3,204,000, respectively. Both current and long-term investments include equity securities of public companies that are thinly traded. We classified certain investments as long term in nature because even if we decide to sell the stocks we may not be able to sell our position within one year. At June 30, 2022, the investments included net unrealized losses of $262,000 (gross unrealized losses of $369,000 offset by gross unrealized gains of $107,000). At June 30, 2021, the investments included net unrealized losses of $205,000 (gross unrealized losses of $376,000 offset by gross unrealized gains of $171,000).

 

Of the total marketable equity securities at June 30, 2022 and 2021, $755,000 and $847,000, respectively, represent an investment in the common stock of Air T, Inc. Two of our Board members, Messrs. Swenson and Cabillot, are also board members of Air T, Inc. and both either individually or through affiliates own an equity interest in Air T, Inc. Mr. Swenson, our Chairman, also serves as the chief executive officer and chairman of Air T, Inc. Another of our Board members is employed by Air T as its Chief of Staff. The shares have been purchased through 10b5-1 Plans that, in accordance with our internal policies regarding the approval of related-party transactions, were approved by our then three Board members that are not affiliated with Air T, Inc.

 

We invest surplus cash from time to time through our Investment Committee, which is comprised of one management director, Mr. Van Kirk, and two non-management directors, Mr. Cabillot and Mr. Swenson, who chairs the committee. Both Mr. Cabillot and Mr. Swenson are active investors with extensive portfolio management expertise. We leverage the experience of these committee members to make investment decisions for the investment of our surplus operating capital or borrowed funds. Additionally, many of our securities holdings include stocks of public companies that either Messrs. Swenson or Cabillot or both may own from time to time either individually or through the investment funds that they manage, or other companies whose boards they sit on, such as Air T, Inc.

Patent-related costs consist of legal fees incurred in connection with both patent applications and patent issuances, and will be amortized over the estimated life of the product(s) that is or will be utilizing the technology, or expensed immediately in the event the patent office denies the issuance of the patent. During fiscal 2022, we impaired $84,000 of previously capitalized legal fees due to uncertainty relating to future benefit. This impairment expense is included in research and development costs in our consolidated income statement. Future amortization expense is estimated to be no more than $30,000 per year and all remaining costs are expected to be fully amortized within four years.
