(1) Represents the incremental costs of obtaining contracts with customers, which consist primarily of sales commissions. These costs are ascribed to or allocated to the underlying performance obligations in the contracts and amortized consistent with the recognition timing of the revenue for the underlying performance obligations.

(2) In March 2020, we made an investment in and entered into a commercial partnership agreement with Flock Group Inc., a provider of advanced security for neighborhoods and law enforcement. Our $4.7 million investment resulted in our ownership of approximately 5% of the outstanding equity interests of this company. We account for this investment under the ASC 321 measurement alternative for equity securities without readily determinable fair values, as there are no quoted market prices for the investment. The investment is measured at cost less impairment, adjusted for observable price changes and is assessed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. As of September 30, 2020, no impairment was recorded for the investment.

(3) In conjunction with the equity investment in and commercial partnership with Flock Group Inc., we have the ability to commit additional capital over time through warrants where the exercisability and exercise prices are conditional on the achievement of certain partnership performance metrics. The fair value of the preferred stock warrants was estimated at $2.6 million using Monte Carlo simulation.

(4) In October 2020, we made an additional $2.1 million investment in Flock Group Inc. After this incremental investment, we hold approximately 4% of the outstanding equity interests. The issuance of new equity by Flock Group Inc. to us and other investors represents an observable price change for our existing investment and related warrants which will be reflected in the consolidated financial statements for the period ending December 31, 2020.
