NOTE 11 – INVESTMENTS

 

Investments in Marketable Securities

 

Investments in marketable equity securities, classified as trading securities, are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using quoted prices in active markets and are therefore classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company holds less than a 5% interest in these securities. Changes in fair value are recognized in earnings within the consolidated statements of operations.

 

The balance of our marketable securities was as follows:

Gains and losses to measure our investments in marketable equity at fair value were included in the other income. These represent unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in market value at the reporting date.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, changes in fair value were not material, and accordingly, no significant unrealized gains or losses were recognized.
