Note1 - The Company and Basis of Presentation
BusinessOverview
Where Food Comes From, Inc. is a Colorado corporation based in Castle Rock, Colorado (“WFCF”, the “Company,” “our,” “we,” or “us”). We are an independent, third-party food verification company conducting both on-site and desk audits to verify that claims being made about livestock, food, other high-value specialty crops and agricultural products are accurate. We care about food and other agricultural products, how it is grown and raised, the quality of what we eat, what farmers and ranchers do, and authentically telling that story to the consumer. Our team visits farms and ranches and looks at their plants, animals, and records, and compares the information we collect to specific standards or claims that farms and ranches want to make about how they are producing food. We strive to ensure that everyone involved in the food business - from growers and farmers to retailers and shoppers – can count on WFCF to provide authentic and transparent information about the food we eat and how, where, and by whom it is produced.
We also provide a wide range of professional services and technology solutions that generate incremental revenue specific to the food and agricultural industry and drive sustainable value creation. Finally, the Company’s Where Food Comes From Source Verified® retail and restaurant labeling program utilizes the verification of product attributes to connect consumers directly to the source of the food they purchase through product labeling and web-based information sharing and education.
Most of our customers are located throughout the United States.
Basisof Presentation
Our unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of Where Food Comes From, Inc. and its subsidiaries, Where Food Comes From Organic, Inc. (“WFCFO”), Validus Verifications Services, LLC (“Validus”), Sterling Solutions (“Sterling”), SureHarvest Services, Inc. (“SureHarvest”), A Bee Organic, Sow Organic, JVF Consulting and Postelsia Holdings, Ltd. (“Postelsia”) (collectively referred to as “we,” “us,” and “our” throughout this Form 10-Q). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues, costs and expenses during the reporting period. All significant intercompany transactions and amounts have been eliminated. The results of businesses acquired are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of the acquisition. Actual results could differ from the estimates.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2021, included in our Form 10-K filed on February 28, 2022. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. Net income and shareholders’ equity were not affected by these reclassifications. The financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting primarily of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and results of operations. The consolidated operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period of any future year.

Seasonality
Our business is subject to seasonal fluctuations. Significant portions of our verification and certification service revenue are typically realized during late May through early October when the calf marketings and the growing seasons are at their peak. Because of the seasonality of the business and our industry, results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for any other quarter or for the full fiscal year.
RecentAccounting Pronouncements
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification is the sole source of authoritative GAAP other than SEC issued rules and regulations that apply only to SEC registrants. The FASB issues an Accounting Standards Update (ASU) to communicate changes to the codification. The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASU’s. ASU’s were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Note2 – Basic and Diluted Net Income per Share
Basic net income per share was computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and restricted stock awards are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.
The following is a reconciliation of the share data used in the basic and diluted income per share computations (amounts in thousands):
Schedule of Reconciliation of Basic and Diluted Income Per Share Computations
| Three<br> months ended March 31, | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 2021 | |||
| Basic: | ||||
| Weighted<br> average shares outstanding | 6,067 | 6,136 | ||
| Diluted: | ||||
| Weighted<br> average shares outstanding | 6,067 | 6,136 | ||
| Weighted<br> average effects of dilutive securities | 83 | 95 | ||
| Total | 6,150 | 6,231 | ||
| Antidilutive<br> securities: | 17 | - |
The effect of the inclusion of the antidilutive shares would have resulted in an increase in earnings per share. Accordingly, the weighted average shares outstanding have not been adjusted for antidilutive shares.

Note6 – Notes Payable
UnisonRevolving Line of Credit
The Company has a revolving line of credit (“LOC”) agreement which matures April 12, 2025. The LOC provides for $75,080 in working capital. The interest rate is at the Wall Street Journal prime rate plus 1.50% and is adjusted daily. Principal and interest are payable upon demand, but if demand is not made, then annual payments of accrued interest only are due, with the principal balance due on maturity. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the effective interest rate was 5.00% and 4.75%, respectively. The LOC is collateralized by all the business assets of ICS. As of March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, there were no amounts outstanding under this LOC.
Note7 – Stock-Based Compensation
In addition to cash compensation, the Company may compensate certain service providers, including employees, directors, consultants, and other advisors, with equity-based compensation in the form of stock options, stock awards and restricted stock awards. The Company recognizes all equity-based compensation as stock-based compensation expense based on the fair value of the compensation measured at the grant date. For stock options, fair value is calculated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. For stock awards and restricted stock awards, fair value is the closing stock price for the Company’s common stock on the grant date. The expense is recognized over the vesting period of the grant. For the periods presented, all stock-based compensation expense was classified as a component within selling, general and administrative expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.
The amount of stock-based compensation expense is as follows (amounts in thousands):
Schedule of Stock-based Compensation Expense
| Three<br> months ended March 31, | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 2021 | |||

| Stock<br> awards | 20 | - | ||
| Restricted<br> stock awards | - | 1 | ||
| Total | $ | 51 | $ | 25 |
During
the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company awarded 1,500 shares of the Company’s common stock at a fair market value price of $13.45 per share to an employee of the Company. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, no stock options were awarded.

Note8 – Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities have been determined based upon the differences between the financial statement amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities as measured by enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when these differences are expected to reverse. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The
provision or benefit for income taxes is recorded at the end of each interim period based on the Company’s best estimate of its effective income tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 we recorded an income tax expense of approximately $163,000, compared to income tax expense of $11,000 for the same 2021 period. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was favorably impacted by the non-taxability of the PPP loan forgiveness income.
Note9 - Revenue Recognition

Note11 – Commitments and Contingencies
Legalproceedings
From time to time, we may become involved in various legal actions, administrative proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. We generally record losses for claims in excess of the limits of purchased insurance in earnings at the time and to the extent they are probable and estimable.
Note12 - Segments
With each acquisition, we assess the need to disclose discrete information related to our operating segments. Because of the similarities of certain of our acquisitions that provide certification and verification services, we aggregate operations into one verification and certification reportable segment. The operating segments included in the aggregated verification and certification segment include IMI Global, WFCFO and Validus. The factors considered in determining this aggregated reporting segment include the economic similarity of the businesses, the nature of services provided, production processes, types of customers and distribution methods.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
General
This information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contained in the Form 10−K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. The following discussion and analysis includes historical and certain forward−looking information that should be read together with the accompanying consolidated financial statements, related footnotes and the discussion below of certain risks and uncertainties that could cause future operating results to differ materially from historical results or from the expected results indicated by forward−looking statements.
BusinessOverview
Where Food Comes From, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“WFCF,” the “Company,” “our,” “we,” or “us”) is a leading trusted resource for third-party verification of food production practices in North America. The Company estimates that is supports more than approximately 17,500 farmers, ranchers, vineyards, wineries, processors, retailers, distributors, trade associations, consumer brands and restaurants with a wide variety of value-added services provided through its family of verifiers, including IMI Global (“IMI”), Where Food Comes From Organic (“WFCFO” - previously International Certification Services and A Bee Organic), Validus Verification Services (“Validus”), and Sterling Solutions. In order to have credibility, product claims such as gluten-free, non-GMO, non-hormone treated, humane handling, and others require verification by an independent third-party such as WFCF. The Company’s principal business is conducting both on-site and desk audits to verify that claims being made about livestock, crops and other food products are accurate.
Through SureHarvest Services LLC (“SureHarvest”) and Postelsia Holdings, Ltd. (“Postelsia”), we primarily provide a wide range of professional services and technology solutions that generate incremental revenue specific to the food and agricultural industry and drive sustainable value creation.
Finally, the Company’s Where Food Comes From Source Verified® retail and restaurant labeling program utilizes the verification of product attributes to connect consumers directly to the source of the food they purchase through product labeling and web-based information sharing and education. With the use of Quick Response Code (“QR”) technology, consumers can instantly access information about the producers behind their food.
WFCF was founded in 1996 and incorporated in the state of Colorado as a subchapter C corporation in 2006. The Company’s shares of common stock trade on the NASDAQ Capital Market (“NASDAQ”), under the stock ticker symbol, “WFCF.”
The Company’s original name – Integrated Management Information, Inc. (d.b.a. IMI Global) – was changed to Where Food Comes From, Inc. in 2012 to better reflect the Company’s mission. Early growth was attributable to source and age verification services for beef producers that wanted access to markets overseas following the discovery of “mad cow” disease in the U.S. Over the years, WFCF has expanded its portfolio to include verification and software services for most food groups and over 50 programs and organizations. This growth has been achieved both organically and through the acquisition of other companies.
CoronavirusPandemic (COVID-19)
The recent uptick in COVID-19 outbreaks has continued to impact our business. Due to safety and social distancing reasons, some customers have requested postponement of onsite visits. We continue to work with our customers and standard setting bodies to identify innovative solutions. Additionally, in late 2021, we were informed by our key tag supplier that materials were becoming scarcer and the ability to meet our need was difficult. In anticipation of this risk, we worked with all our tag suppliers to build our inventory by purchasing excess supply. We believe we have reduced this risk, however, should material shortages continue to impact our tag suppliers, we may be unable to meet the needs of our customers which could materially impact our revenues.
| 16 |
| --- |
We continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation closely and will react accordingly to any future restrictions or limitations, while keeping the interest of our customers and business in mind. Please refer to our risk factors included in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 for additional information related to COVID-19.
Seasonality
Our business is subject to seasonal fluctuations. Significant portions of our verification and certification service revenue is typically realized during late May through early October when the calf marketings and the growing seasons are at their peak. Because of the seasonality of the business and our industry, results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for any other quarter or for the full fiscal year.
Liquidityand Capital Resources
At March 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $6.1 million compared to approximately $5.4 million at December 31, 2021. Our working capital at March 31, 2022 was approximately $6.0 million compared to $5.7 million at December 31, 2021.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was approximately $1.1 million compared to $1.2 million during the same period in 2021. Net cash provided by operating activities is driven by our net income and adjusted by non-cash items. Non-cash adjustments primarily include depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, forgiveness of Paycheck Protection Program loan, and deferred taxes. Fluctuations are primarily due to operating performance offset by the timing of cash receipts and cash disbursements. The cash provided by operating activities for the period ending March 31, 2022 was primarily driven by a change in accrued expenses and prepaid expenses. The cash provided by operating activities for the period ending March 31, 2021 was primarily driven by a change in accounts receivable, inventory and accrued expenses and other current liabilities.
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022, was approximately $16,000 compared to $0.2 million in the 2021 period. Net cash used in the period ending March 31, 2022 and 2021 was primarily for the further development of internal use software.
Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was approximately $0.4 million. Cash used for the periods ending March 31, 2022 and 2021, was primarily due to the repurchase of common shares under the Stock Buyback Plan.
Over the past several years, our growth has been funded primarily through cashflows from operations. We continually evaluate all funding options, including additional offerings of our securities to private, public and institutional investors and other credit facilities as they become available.
The primary driver of our operating cash flow is our third-party verification solutions, specifically the gross margin generated from services provided. Therefore, we focus on the elements of those operations, including revenue growth, gross margin and long-term projects that ensure a steady stream of operating profits to enable us to meet our cash obligations. On a weekly basis, we review the performance of each of our revenue streams focusing on third-party verification solutions compared with prior periods and our operating plan. We believe that our various sources of capital, including cash flow from operating activities, overall improvement in our performance, and our ability to obtain additional financing, are adequate to finance current operations as well as the repayment of current debt obligations. We are not aware of any other event or trend that would negatively affect our liquidity. In the event such a trend develops, we believe that there are sufficient financing avenues available to us and from our internal cash-generating capabilities to adequately manage our ongoing business.
| 17 |
| --- |
The culmination of all our efforts has brought significant opportunities to us, including increased investor confidence and renewed interest in our company, as well as the potential to develop business relationships with long-term strategic partners. In keeping with our core business, we will continue to review our business model with a focus on profitability, long-term capital solutions and the potential impact of acquisitions or divestitures, if such an opportunity arises.
Our plan for continued growth is primarily based on diversification and bundling opportunities in our product offerings within national and international markets, as well as, potential acquisitions. We believe that there are significant growth opportunities available to us because of growing consumer awareness and demand on a national level. Internationally, a quality verification program is often the only way to overcome import or export restrictions.
DebtFacility
The Company has a revolving line of credit (“LOC”) agreement which matures April 12, 2025. The LOC provides for $75,080 in working capital. The interest rate is at the Wall Street Journal prime rate plus 1.50% and is adjusted daily. Principal and interest are payable upon demand, but if demand is not made, then annual payments of accrued interest only are due, with the principal balance due upon maturity. As of March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the effective interest rate was 5.00% and 4.75%, respectively. The LOC is collateralized by all the business assets of Where Food Comes From Organic, Inc. (“WFCFO”). As of March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, there were no amounts outstanding under this LOC.
Off-BalanceSheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2022, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements of any type.

Verificationand Certification Segment
Verification and certification service revenues consist of fees charged for verification audits and other verification services that the Company performs for customers. Fees earned from our WFCF labeling program are also included in our verification and certification revenues as it represents a value-added extension of our source verification. Verification and certification service revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased 16.0% compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to increased customer demand for our product offerings.
Our product sales are an ancillary part of our verification and certification services and represent sales of cattle identification ear tags. Product sales for the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased 39.0% compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to increased pricing, increased demand and limited supply elsewhere in the market.
Costs of revenues for our verification and certification segment for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were approximately $2.0 million compared to approximately $1.8 million for the same period in 2021. Gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was 46.3% compared to 43.6% in 2021 primarily due to a change in product mix of our offerings which included new customers and new offerings. Our margins are generally impacted by various costs such as cost of products, salaries and benefits, insurance and taxes.
Other operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 slightly increased by approximately 2.3% compared to the same three month period in 2021. The increase was primarily due to increased compensation expense related to an increase in headcount. Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 decreased 4.0% compared to the same three month period in 2021.
Softwareand Related Consulting Segment
Software and related consulting revenue primarily represents fees earned from a wide range of professional consulting services and technology solutions that support our verification business and generate incremental revenue specific to the food and agricultural industry. Software and related consulting revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased approximately 201.3% compared to the same period in 2021. The three month increase is due to a significant short-term engagement with a Japanese party to promote Japanese seafood products into the American supply chain. While we are hopeful that the engagement will be an annual recurring source of revenue for our consulting segment, as well as a potential opportunity for our verification and certification segment, we can give no assurance that it will be an ongoing source of revenue. Additionally, because this was a short-term engagement, it is not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for any other quarter or for the full fiscal year.
Costs of revenues for our software and related consulting segment for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was approximately $1.2 and $0.3 million, respectively. Gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2022 decreased to 13.1% compared to 27.6% for the same period in 2021. The three month decrease in gross margin is due primarily to increased cost of contract labor to support the short-term consulting engagement mentioned above.
Other operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 decreased approximately 28.3% compared to the same period in 2021. Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended March 31, 2022 decreased 2.0% compared to the same three month period in 2021. The decrease is predominately due to a reduction in headcount resulting in less compensation expense.

As with all of our acquisitions, we continue to identify synergies and implement best practices. We focus our efforts to create value in various ways such as improving the performance of our acquired businesses, removing excess capacity, creating market access for products, acquiring skills and technologies more quickly or at a lower cost than we can build in-house, exploiting our industry-specific scalability and bundling opportunities, and picking winners early and helping them develop their businesses. Achieving any or all of these strategies take time to implement. We have learned that it can take two to three years after an acquisition to fully understand the complexities, at which time, we have seen solid improvements in revenues and/or costs.
DividendIncome from Progressive Beef
For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company received dividend income of $50,000 and $30,000, respectively, from Progressive Beef representing a distribution of their earnings.
IncomeTax Expense
The provision for income taxes is recorded at the end of each interim period based on the Company’s best estimate of its effective income tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recorded income tax expense of approximately $163,000 compared to income tax expense of $11,000 for the same period in 2021. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was favorably impacted by the non-taxability of the PPP loan forgiveness income.
NetIncome and Per Share Information
As a result of the foregoing, net income attributable to WFCF shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was approximately $0.5 million and $0.08 per basic and diluted common share, respectively, compared to net income of approximately $1.2 million and $0.19 per basic and diluted common share for the same period in 2021.

ITEM
- CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluationof Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, including our principal executive and financial officers, have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act, to ensure that information we are required to disclose in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in such reports is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive and financial officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report. We believe that the financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
InternalControl Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements and can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
There have not been any other changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
