The Company, through PERC and the services segment, purchased engineering and technology support services from various companies formerly affiliated with PERC, as a minority shareholder in these companies was also a minority shareholder of PERC. On January 4, 2023, as a result of CW-Holdings' exercise of a call option in October 2022, CW-Holdings purchased the remaining 39% ownership interest in PERC. After giving effect to this purchase, CW-Holdings owns 100% of the outstanding capital stock of PERC and, consequently, transactions with the formerly affiliated companies no longer constitute related party transactions. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company made total purchases of services from these companies of approximately $641,000 and $1,480,000, respectively. These total purchases are included in the Company’s cost of revenue in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized approximately $24,000 and $48,000, respectively, of expense related to this lease. This lease expense is included in the Company's general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.
