Bull points
- we did have record revenues in 25. We were up 17.8 percent and closed off the year with $7.7 million.
- we ended the year with a cash balance of about $90 million. So strong balance sheet for us to continue to build on as we move into 26 and 27.
- we now have a border solution. We have a very unique solution that's just not an eloquent piece of equipment that's integrated into law enforcement, but it's also a piece of equipment that was designed with the concept of operations in mind.
