The Company, through PERC, 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 year ended December 31, 2022, the Company made total purchases of services from these companies of approximately $2,695,000. These total purchases are included in the Company’s cost of revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
