INVESTMENTS

As of June 30, 2019, the Company sold its investment resulting in a $148,548 loss on disposition of investment. Previously the Company had a 36% ownership in a privately held corporation.

 

Investee companies that are not consolidated, but over which the Company exercises significant influence, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Whether or not the Company exercises significant influence with respect to an investee depends on an evaluation of several factors including, among others, representation on the investee company’s board of directors and ownership level, which is generally a 20% to 50% interest in the voting securities of the investee company.

 

Under the equity method of accounting, an investee company’s accounts are not reflected within the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and statements of operations; however, the Company’s share of the earnings or losses of the investee company is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company’s carrying value in an equity method investee company is reflected in the caption ‘‘Investments’’ in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

 

When the Company’s carrying value in an equity method investee company is reduced to zero, no further losses are recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements unless the Company guaranteed obligations of the investee company or has committed additional funding. When the investee company subsequently reports income, the Company will not record its share of such income until it equals the amount of its share of losses not previously recognized.
