Arcimoto, Inc.



During fiscal year 2014 the Company purchased 37,000 shares of Arcimoto, Inc. series A-1 preferred stock for $100,011. During March 2015, Arcimoto, Inc. had a round of financing at a share valuation 23% higher than the Company’s cost, resulting in an unrealized gain of $22,682 and bringing the total investment value of Arcimoto as of March 31, 2015 to $122,693. The fair value as of March 31, 2015, was based on this recent financing, which is a third party transaction and is the primary significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Company's investment in Acrimoto, Inc. The fair value as of June 30, 2015 remains unchanged at $122,693 as there was no observable change in valuation input since March 31, 2015. Significant increases (decreases) in any subsequent transactions would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company had valued this investment at its cost.
