Minority equity investment represents the Company's investment in OmniGuide, Inc. During the second quarter of 2014, the Company invested $5.0 million in Series F Preferred Stock of OmniGuide, Inc. As of September 28, 2013, the Company had $6.0 million invested in Series D Preferred Stock, $3.0 million invested in Series E Preferred Stock, and $5.0 million invested in Series F Preferred Stock of OmniGuide, Inc., representing a 15% interest. At each reporting period end, the Company determines whether events or circumstances have occurred that are likely to have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of these investments. If there are no events or circumstances identified that would adversely affect the fair value of the investments, the fair values of the investments are not calculated. In the second quarter of 2014, OmniGuide, Inc. engaged in a Series F Preferred Stock round of equity financing at pricing below previous rounds which was considered a triggering event. As a result, the Company performed a valuation of the investment which resulted in a $3.6 million impairment charge of our Series D and Series E investments.
