Tim Foufas, Co-CEO, added, "We are continuing to evaluate opportunities where we can re-deploy our capital, either through wholly owned acquisitions or via controlled investments.

  • a $78,000 decrease in Net sales due to significant bookings in 2022 that were also delivered in 2022;

  • a $1,153,000 increase in Net investment income due to higher yields earned on the Company's Cash and cash equivalents and Marketable securities in 2023 compared to 2022;

  • a $5,131,000 increase in Net gains (losses) due to the sales of investments in Marketable securities at a gain in 2023 compared to selling the Company's investment in IronNet, Inc. at a loss 2022; and

  • a $654,000 decrease in Engineering, selling and administrative due to lower salaries and wages, share-based compensation expense, and professional services and other consulting fees in 2023 compared to 2022.
