Note 1 - The Company and Basis of Presentation
Business Overview
Where Food Comes From, Inc. is a Colorado corporation based in Castle Rock, Colorado (“WFCF”, the “Company,” “our,” “we,” or “us”). The Company’s principal business isWe 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 sustainability programs, compliance management and farming information management solutions to drive sustainable value creation. We employ a software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) revenue model that bundles annual software licenses with ongoing software enhancements and upgrades and a wide range of professional services that generate incremental revenue specific to the food and agricultural industry. 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.

Seasonality
Our business is subject to seasonal fluctuations. Significant portions of our verification and certification service revenue isare 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.
Where Food Comes From, Inc.Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Notes
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 Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)codification. The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASU’s. ASU’s not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Recently IssuedAdopted Accounting Pronouncements
Lease Accounting
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases,” which will require lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases that are not short-term in nature. For a lessor, the accounting applied is largely unchanged from previous guidance. The new rules will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2019. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of the new rules on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Although the evaluation is ongoing, the Company expects that the adoption will impact the Company’s financial statements as the standard requires the recognition on the balance sheet of a right of use asset and corresponding lease liability for all leases, including operating leases, that are not short-term, which differs from current guidance. The Company is currently analyzing its contracts to determine whether they contain a lease under the revised guidance and has not quantified the amount of the asset and liability that will be recognized on the Company’s balance sheet.
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” which supersedes current revenue recognition requirements and industry-specific guidance. The codification was amended through additional ASUs and, as amended, requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company is required to adopt the new standard in the first quarter of 2018 and may adopt either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption using one of two retrospective application methods. The Company has developed an approach for the implementation of the guidance including a review of revenue streams and contracts to identify any differences in timing, measurement or presentation of revenue recognition. Currently, the Company has not completed its estimate of the quantitative impact and has engaged a third party to assist in its evaluation. While the Company is still in the process of completing its evaluation of the standard, it currently believes the most significant impact will be related to accounting for its software license, maintenance and support revenue, and the timing in which those revenues are recognized.
Clarifying the Definition of a Business
InOn January 2017, the FASB issued1, 2020 we adopted ASU 2017-01, “Clarifying the Definition of a Business,” which provides guidance on evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The ASU amends ASC 805 to provide a more robust framework to use in determining when a set of assets and activities is a business. In addition, the amendments provide more consistency in applying the guidance, reduce the costs of application, and make the definition of a business more operable.The new guidance will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2018.The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of this new guidance andhas not determined the impact this standard may have on its financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and related disclosures.
2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,

Note 2 – Business Acquisitions
SureHarvest Acquisition
On December 28, 2016,we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “SureHarvest Purchase Agreement”), by and amongFebruary 21, 2020 the Company SureHarvest Services LLC (the “Buyer” or “SureHarvest”); and SureHarvest, Inc., a California corporation (the “Seller” or “SureHarvest, Inc.”). We acquired substantially all the assets of the Seller. SureHarvest develops software and provides services related to sustainability measurement and benchmarking, traceability, verification and certification to the food and agriculture industries.
Pursuant to the SureHarvest Purchase Agreement, WFCF purchased the business assets of the Seller for total consideration of approximately $2.8 million, comprised of approximately $1,122,000 in cash and 850,852 shares of common stock of WFCF valued at approximately $1,710,000 based on the closing price of our stock on December 28, 2016, of $2.01 per share. Additionally, we issued the Seller a 40% membership interest in SureHarvest, with the Company holding a 60% interest.
Following the thirty-six-month anniversary of the effective date of the SureHarvest Purchase Agreement, the Company shall have the option, but not the obligation, to purchase all the units (the 40% interest) of SureHarvest held by the Seller, and the Seller shall have the option, but not the obligation, to require the Company to purchase all the units of SureHarvest held by the Seller. The purchase price for the units shall be equal to the amount the selling holders of the units would be entitled to receive upon a liquidation of SureHarvest assuming all of the assetsstock of SureHarvestprivately held Postelsia Holdings, Ltd. (“Postelsia”) for $250,000 in cash at the acquisition closing date, with an additional $50,000 in cash being held in escrow for six months following the closing date. The escrowed funds are soldto support any claims by the Company for a purchase price equal to the productbreaches of eightrepresentation and half times trailing twelve-month earnings before income taxes, depreciation and amortization, as defined, subject to an $8 million ceiling.warranties.

A Bee Organic Acquisition
On May 30, 2017, we acquired A Bee Organic for $150,000 in cash and 45,684 shares of common stock of WFCF valued at approximately $98,000 based on the closing price of our stock on May 30, 2017, of $2.15 per share. The acquisition primarily consisted of the existing customer relationships and represents further expansion of our verification and certification solutions into hydroponics/aquaponics and apiary spaces. We believe the total consideration paid approximates the fair value of the assets acquired. We have allocated the total consideration to our identifiable intangible assets (customer relationships) to be amortized over an estimated useful life of 8 years.

Note 3 – Basic and Diluted Net IncomeLoss 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 incomeloss per share computations:computations (amounts in thousands):

Note 69 – 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. Our net operating loss (“NOL”) carry forwards are the most significant component of our deferred tax assets; however, the ultimate realization of our deferred tax assets is dependent upon generation of future taxable income. We consider past history, the scheduled reversal of taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Utilization of our NOL carry forwards reduces our federal and state income tax liability incurred.

Note 812 – Commitments and Contingencies
Unison Revolving Line of Credit
The Company has a revolving line of credit (“LOC”) agreement which matures April 12, 2020. 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 onmaturity. As of September 30, 2017, the effective interest rate was 5.5%. The LOC is collateralized by all the business assets of ICS. As of September 30, 2017, there were no amounts outstanding under this LOC.
Operating Leases & Lease Incentive Obligation
The Company relocated its headquarters within Castle Rock, Colorado, during the third quarter 2016 and entered into a new lease agreement with The Move, LLC for approximately 8,000 square feet of office space. This space is being leased from a company in which our CEO and President, each a related party to the Company, have a 27% ownership interest. The lease agreement has an initial term of five years plus two renewal periods, which the Company is more likely than not to renew. The office space lease term commenced August 1, 2016. Rental payments are approximately $19,000 per month, which includes common area charges, and provides for escalating rental payments annually over the term of the lease. The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the non-cancelable lease term and option renewal periods. The resulting deferred rent is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.
The Company recorded leasehold improvements of approximately $406,400, which included approximately $163,000 in lease incentives. Leasehold improvements are included in property and equipment on the consolidated balance sheet. Lease incentives have been included in lease incentive obligation as a long-term liability on the consolidated balance sheet and will reduce rent expense on a straight-line basis over 15 years. Lease incentives are excluded from minimum lease payments in the schedule below.
In August 2017, the Company entered into the first amendment of its lease agreement with The Move, LLC to provide for an additional 7,700 square feet of office space to commence December 1, 2017. The additional space is currently not approved for occupancy. Total rental payments beginning December 1, 2017 will increase to approximately $27,000 per month, which includes common area charges, and provides for escalating rental payments annually over the term of the lease. The Company will also receive approximately $230,000 in lease incentives to build-out the new additional square footage. All other terms will remain the same.

Legal proceedings
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. We are not aware of any legal actions currently pending against us.
Note 9 – Contingently Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest
Contingently redeemable non-controlling interest on our consolidated balance sheet represents the non-controlling interest related to the SureHarvest acquisition, in which the non-controlling interest holder, at its election, can require the Company to purchase its 40% investment in SureHarvest. Below is a table reflecting the activity of the contingently redeemable non-controlling interest at September 30, 2017.

The contingently redeemable non-controlling interest was adjusted to the greater of the carrying value or redemption value as of each period end.
Note 1013 - 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 services reportable segment. The operating segments included in the aggregated verification and certification segment include IMI Global, ICS, 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.
The Company also determined that it has a software sales and related consulting reportable segment. SureHarvest, which includes Sow Organic and JVF Consulting, is the sole operating segment. This segment includes software license, maintenance, support and software-related consulting service revenues.
The Company’s chief operating decision maker (the Company’s CEO) allocates resources and assesses the performance of its certification and verification services activities as one segment, which includes products sales.
With the acquisition of SureHarvest Services, the Company determined that it also has a software sales and related consulting services segment, which meet the quantitative threshold to be considered a reporting segment in the third quarter 2017. This segment includes software license, maintenance, support and consulting service revenues.

Note 15 – Subsequent Events
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act allocated $350 billion to help small businesses keep workers employed amid the pandemic and economic downturn. Known as the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), the initiative provides federally guaranteed loans to small businesses. These loans may be forgiven if borrowers maintain their payrolls during the crisis or restore their payrolls afterward. On April 17, 2020, the Company received a $1.0 million loan under the PPP with a maturity date of April 17, 2022 and an annual interest rate of 1.00%. The loan will be repaid in 17 monthly consecutive interest and principal payments of approximately $57,876, commencing December 1, 2020. The Company has not received any notification if any of the loan amount will be forgiven.

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, 2016.2019. 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.
Business Overview
Where Food Comes From, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“WFCF”, “the Company”, “our”, “we”,WFCF,” the “Company,” “our,” “we,” or “us”) is a leading trusted resource for third-party verification of food and agricultural production practices in North America. The Company supports more than 15,000 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, International Certification Services, (“ICS”), Validus Verification Services, (“Validus”), Sterling Solutions, SureHarvest Services (“SureHarvest”), and our newest acquisition, A Bee Organic. 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, food, other high-value specialty crops and agriculturalother food products are accurate. In addition,
Through our more recent acquisitions, including SureHarvest Services LLC; Sow Organic, LLC; JVF Consulting, LLC; and Postelsia Holdings, Ltd. (“Postelsia”) we provide sustainability programs, compliance management and farming information management solutions to drive sustainable value creation. We employ a software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) revenue model that bundles annual software licenses with ongoing software enhancements and upgrades and a wide range of professional services that generate incremental revenue specific to the food and agricultural industry.
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 productfood 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 2005.2006. The Company’s shares of common stock trade on the OTCQB marketplace under the stock ticker symbol, “WFCF”.“WFCF.”
The Company’s original name – Integrated Management Information, Inc. (d.b.a. IMI Global, Inc.)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 whothat 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 3040 standards. This growth has been achieved both organically and through the acquisition of other companies.
Coronavirus Pandemic (COVID-19)
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) as a pandemic. The recent global outbreak of COVID-19 and the resulting government-mandated closures and social distancing measures have disrupted economic markets, potentially triggering a global recession. Continued closures and social distancing measures could have a detrimental effect in which the prolonged economic impact is uncertain. This could result in a variety of risks to our business including the inability to perform audits at our customers locations due to social distancing, supplier disruptions as a result of business closures, food systems that are in disarray resulting in global food shortages, euthanasia of animals and dumping of dairy products because farmers have no distribution channel, all of which could negatively influence our revenue and costs. The government may introduce healthcare reform measures for which we cannot predict the financial implication of on our business. A weak or declining economy could cause our customers to delay purchases or payments for our services and products. Additionally, COVID-19 may introduce additional challenges including our ability to produce sufficient cash flows from operations or to raise capital when needed at acceptable terms, if at all.
All of our locations have been affected. We have adjusted certain aspects of our operations to protect our employees while avoiding business interruption. As an essential business to the food and agriculture industries, we have maintained standard business operations while under stay at home (and similar) guidelines from various states, by working remotely. Company management continues to evaluate when employees will return to their respective offices, on a state by state and department by department basis. The health of our employees is a key concern for the Company. The Company will continue to maintain standard business operations by having a majority of its employees work remotely until government mandates allow for normal business operations. Employees essential to operations, management and the accounting function remain on-site at our corporate headquarters. Internal controls over financial reporting have not been impacted by employees working remotely. Management is continuously monitoring to ensure controls are effective and properly maintained.
The Company generally performs onsite audits in connection with its verification and certification activity. Due to safety and social distancing reasons, some customers have requested postponement of onsite visits. At this time, we are uncertain of the material impact that continued social distancing measures will have upon our business. We continue to work with standard setting bodies and identify innovative solutions to offer our customers. We believe that our transformative approach will help further differentiate us from competitors. Additionally, we believe third party verification is an essential component to the food and agricultural supply chain and ensures our future as a high quality provider of assurance services, thereby increasing the value of products in the food supply chain.
We will continue to monitor the situation closely and react accordingly to any future restrictions or limitations, while keeping the interest of our customers and business in mind. Due to the uncertainty in the severity and duration of the pandemic, the impact on our revenues, profitability and statement of financial position is uncertain at this time.

Current Marketplace Opportunities
Because of growing demand for increased transparency into food and agricultural production practices, we believe there are three main market drivers to promote forward momentum for our business:
Market Driver #1 - Consumer awareness and expectations
Market Driver #2 - Global competitiveness among retailers
Market Driver #3 - Government regulation
Seasonality
Our business is subject to seasonal fluctuations. Significant portions of our verification and certification service revenue isare 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.

Historically, our growth has been funded through a combination of cash flow from operations, convertible debt from private investors and private placement offerings. 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.$0.3 million.
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 and long termlong-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 partythird-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 our acquisition strategy andas well as the repayment of current debt obligations. We are not awareactively monitoring the economic effect of any other event or trend that would negatively affectthe coronavirus pandemic on our liquidity. In the event such a negative trend develops over the long term, we believe that there are sufficient financing avenueshave several options available to us, including various forms of downsizing, company-wide pay decreases, as well as, other forms of financing and from our internal cash generatingcash-generating capabilities to adequately manage our ongoing business.
The culmination of all our efforts toward net income has brought significant opportunities to us,including:including increased investor confidence and renewed interest in our company, third-party interest in our expertise, as well as the potential to develop business relationships with long termlong-term strategic partners. In keeping with our core business, we will continue to review our business model with a focus on profitability, long termlong-term capital solutions and the potential impact of acquisitions or divestitures, if such an opportunity arises. Additionally, 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.
Our plan for continued growth is primarily based upon acquisitions, and continuing to add more accreditations to our products and services,continued expansion of verification bundling opportunities, as well as intensifying our focus onacquisitions in national and international markets. We believe that there are significant growth opportunities available to us because often the only meansway to entry as imposed on international market imports/exportsdifferentiate a product or brand, or overcome import/export restrictions is via a quality verification program.

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.
