Note 5. Marketable Securities

 

Investments in marketable securities consist of equity securities recorded at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We analyze our marketable securities in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification 321 (“ASC 32”). Valuations for marketable securities are based on quoted prices for identical assets in active markets. Where marketable securities were found not be part of an actively traded market, we made a measurement alternative election and estimate the fair value at cost of the investment minus impairment.

  

As of December 31, 2020, the Company owned 3,309,758 shares of common stock in Odyssey Group International, Inc. (“Odyssey”) ticker: ODYY, OTC Markets. In December 2021 we sold such shares of Odyssey in a private transaction for a purchase price of $860,491, with $10,000 cash delivered at signing and a note issued in favor of Vivakor in the amount of $850,491 (see Note 8), reflecting the market price at that time. The Company accounted for such securities based on the quoted price from the OTC Markets where the stock is traded which resulted in the Company recording an unrealized gain of $203,540 and an unrealized loss of $56,198 on these marketable securities for the years ended December 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2020 our Odyssey marketable securities were valued at $656,951.

 

In 2019 the Company had an investment of $800,000 or 800,000,000 shares of common stock, or a diluted 23% equity holding in Scepter Holdings, Inc. (“Scepter”), ticker: BRZL, OTC Markets. In the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company was diluted to a 19% equity holding in Scepter, and was no longer deemed to have significant influence and ceased to be an equity investment, and as the stock is traded on an active market, the Company has classified the investment as marketable securities with the change in unrealized gains and losses on the investment included in the statement of operations for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. In August 2021 we converted $81,768 of our note receivable with Scepter into 26,376,882 shares of Scepter common stock pursuant to the terms of the note at $0.0031 per share. On the date of the conversion, the Scepter price per share on OTC Markets was $0.0062 per share, which resulted in a $87,044 gain on the disposition of the note receivable. The Company accounted for such securities based on the quoted price from the OTC Markets where the stock is traded which resulted in the Company recording an unrealized loss on marketable securities of $1,297,594 and and an unrealized gain of $2,670,536 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer has an immediate family member who sits on the board of directors of Scepter Holdings, Inc. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020 our Scepter marketable securities were valued at $2,231,218 and $3,360,000.

 

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, marketable securities were $2,231,218 and $4,016,951. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded a total unrealized loss of $1,094,054 and an unrealized gain of $2,614,338 on marketable securities in the statement of operations..
