 the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company’s customers are located throughout the United States across diverse market sectors. Although the Company generally grants credit without collateral, management believes that its contract acceptance, billing, and collection policies are adequate to minimize material credit risk. Also, for non-governmental customers, the Company can often place mechanics liens against the real property associated with the contract in the event of non-payment. Variable Interest EntitiesWe have an economic interest in an entity that is a variable interest entity. Variable interest entities (“VIEs”) are entities in which equity investors lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. VIEs are consolidated by the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the party who has the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and who has an obligation to absorb losses of the entity or a right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the entity. On April 2, 2024, the Company through a newly created, wholly owned subsidiary, acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Surdex Corporation ("Surdex"). The wholly owned subsidiary was then merged into Surdex, with Surdex being the surviving entity. Concurrently, Hoffman Aviation Services, Inc. ("HAS") was established and is wholly owned by the former shareholders of Surdex Corporation. HAS was established for the purpose of providing services exclusively to Surdex. The Company was determined to be the primary beneficiary; therefore, HAS has been consolidated into the Company's financial results, with all intercompany transactions eliminated during the consolidation process. To determine if we are the primary beneficiary, we assess whether we possess the power to direct the activities that most significantly influence the VIE's economic performance, as well as the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could be materially significant to the VIE. Our evaluation includes identification of significant activities and an assessment of our ability to direct those activities based on governance provisions and arrangements to provide services to the VIE. Periodically, we assess whether any changes in our interest or relationship with the entity affect our determination of whether the entity is a VIE and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary.
