NOTE 6 – INVESTMENTS

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company executed the following investments in private entities.

In March 2026, the Company entered into a Simple Agreement for Future Equity ("SAFE") with a private entity for total cash consideration of $3.0 million. The SAFE provides the Company with the right to convert the investment to equity interests upon the occurrence of specified triggering events, including an equity financing, liquidity event, or dissolution event. The investment contains two embedded derivative features requiring bifurcation, but no value was attributed to them as of March 31, 2026 due to the remoteness of the contingent events.

During the same period, the Company also invested $3.0 million through a contractual alternative investment vehicle (the "Fund") to acquire a beneficial interest in the preferred shares of a privately held corporation. Legal title is held by a nominee entity on bare trust for the Company's benefit. The Company capitalized $30 thousand of directly related transaction costs.

The Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over either investee, and neither of the two investments have a readily determinable fair value. Accordingly, each investment is carried at the alternative measurement available under ASC 321. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had not recorded any impairment or other adjustments required under ASC 321 related to these investments.

Investments as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, are as follows:
