Recent Accounting 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 Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Lease Accounting

In February 2016,codification. The Company considers the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases,” which will require lesseesapplicability and impact of all ASU’s. ASU’s were assessed and determined to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases thatbe either not applicable or are not short-term in nature. Forexpected to have 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 thematerial impact of adoption of the new rules on the Company’sconsolidated 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.statements.

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

In January 2017, the FASB issued 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.

Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment

In April 2017, the FASB has issued ASU 2017-04, “Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,” which removes step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. As a result, under the ASU, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.The Company is required to adopt the new standard in 2020.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.

Note 2 – Business Acquisitions

SureHarvest Acquisition

On December 28, 2016,we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “SureHarvest Purchase Agreement”), by and among 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 assets of SureHarvest are sold for a purchase price equal to the product of eight and half times trailing twelve-month earnings before income taxes, depreciation and amortization, as defined, subject to an $8 million ceiling.

Because SureHarvest, Inc. at its option, can require the Company to purchase its 40% interest in SureHarvest, the SureHarvest non-controlling interest meets the definition of a contingently redeemable non-controlling interest. Redeemable non-controlling interests are presented at the greater of their carrying amount or redemption value at the end of each reporting period and are shown as a separate caption between liabilities and equity (mezzanine section) in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

The following unaudited pro forma information presents the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, as if the acquisition of SureHarvest had occurred on January 1, 2016. This pro forma information does not reflect any integration activities or cost savings from operating efficiencies, synergies, asset dispositions or other restructurings that could result from the acquisition, nor does it purport to represent what the Company’s actual results would have been if the acquisition had occurred as of the date indicated or what such results would be for any future periods.

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 to be amortized over an estimated useful life of 8 years.

Note 32Basic 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:computations (amounts in thousands):

In June 2022, we purchased an aggregate of $178,000 in Bitcoin (a “cryptocurrency” or “digital asset”) and currently account for all digital assets held as indefinite-lived intangible assets in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other. We have ownership of and control over our digital assets and may use a third-party custodial service to secure it. The digital assets are initially recorded at cost and are subsequently remeasured on the consolidated balance sheet at cost, net of any impairment losses incurred since acquisition, if applicable.

We determine the fair value of our digital assets on a quarterly basis in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, based on quoted prices on the active exchange(s) that we have determined is the principal market for such assets (Level 1 inputs). We perform an analysis each quarter to identify whether significant events or changes in circumstances, indicate that it is more likely than not that our digital assets are permanently impaired. In determining if an impairment has occurred, we consider the lowest market price of one unit of digital asset quoted on an active exchange since acquiring the digital asset. If the current carrying value of a digital asset significantly exceeds the fair value so determined, a permanent impairment loss has occurred with respect to the digital assets in the amount equal to the difference between their carrying values and the price determined.

Impairment losses are recognized within the Other income / (expense) section in the consolidated statements of operations in the period in which the impairment is identified. The impaired digital assets are written down to their fair value at the time of impairment and this new cost basis will not be adjusted upward for any subsequent increase in fair value. Gains are not recorded until realized upon sale(s), at which point they are presented net of any impairment losses for the same digital assets held within Other income / (expense). In determining the gain to be recognized upon sale, we calculate the difference between the sales price and carrying value of the digital assets sold immediately prior to sale.

Note 68Income 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 811Commitments 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 912Contingently Redeemable Non-Controlling InterestSegments

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.

Balance, December 31, 2016 $1,888,135 
Net loss attributable to non-controlling interest in SureHarvest  for the nine months ended Sept 30, 2017  (286,841)
Balance, September 30, 2017 $1,601,294 

The contingently redeemable non-controlling interest was adjusted to the greater of the carrying value or redemption value as of each period end.

Note 10 - 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, 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.

The Company also determined that it has a software and related consulting reportable segment. SureHarvest, which includes Postelsia, is the sole operating unit under the software and related consulting reportable segment. This segment includes software and 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.

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 estimates that is supports more than 15,000approximately 17,500 farmers, ranchers, vineyards, wineries, processors, retailers, distributors, trade associations, consumer brands, chefs, 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 (“ICS”)and A Bee Organic), Validus Verification Services (“Validus”), and Sterling Solutions, SureHarvest Services (“SureHarvest”), and our newest acquisition, A Bee Organic.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, food, other high-value specialtyaquaculture, crops and agriculturalother food products are accurate. In addition,

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 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 marketplaceNASDAQ Capital Market (“NASDAQ”), 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 30 standards.over 50 programs and organizations. This growth has been achieved both organically and through the acquisition of other companies.

Coronavirus Pandemic (COVID-19), the Inflationary Environment and other Weather Related Risks

The ongoing outbreaks of COVID-19 continue to impact our business. Due to safety and social distancing reasons, customers continue to request postponement of onsite visits. We work closely with our customers and standard setting bodies to identify innovative solutions and reschedule onsite visits as timely as possible.

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. We could also experience increases in the cost of products sourced locally and from abroad.

Current Marketplace OpportunitiesThe economy is facing inflationary pressures that has resulted in a few headwinds for our business, most notably in the form of a tight labor market where job candidates have considerable bargaining power which tends to drive wages up. Additionally, we are experiencing higher labor and benefit related costs to retain our existing personnel. We believe we will continue to see significant pressure in our labor and benefit related costs.

BecauseWe are also concerned about the potential for weakened demand in our software and related consulting business segment due to significant customer concentration. Increased inflation could place pressure on our customers’ timing of approval for consulting projects to move forward. Currently, it is difficult to estimate the financial impact to our software and related consulting revenue, if any. We actively market our sustainability solutions and services to new types of customers. We believe the growing awareness of environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) matters creates a key opportunity for us because we have the expertise and technology needed to help companies achieve ESG objectives within the food supply chain.

The current drought conditions impacting nearly one-half of the United States predominately affects our ranch customers resulting in fewer cattle subject to verification. While this doesn’t directly impact our audit related revenue, it does impact our product sales and other related supply chain fees in the short-term. However, we believe the long-term outlook for our industry remains favorable because the demand for increased transparency into foodverified cattle is still strong, as well as the premiums on verified cattle sold at auction. Additionally, during an inflationary period, most consumers continue to consume beef, although they may trade the quality of protein cut (such as steak) for a lesser cut (such as ground beef).

We continue to monitor all of these risks closely and agricultural production practices, we believe there are three main market driverswill react accordingly, while keeping the interest of our customers, employees and shareholders in mind. Please refer to promote forward momentumour risk factors included in our Form 10-K for our business:the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 for additional information for risks specifically related to COVID-19.

Market Driver #1 - Consumer awareness and expectationsSeasonality

The 13th Edition of “The Why? Behind The Buy,” based on the annual survey conducted by Acosta, a leading full-service sales and marketing agency in the consumer packaged goods industry, was released in December 2016. The survey found that today’s shoppers are seeking positive culinary experiences, making deliberate decisions from the store to the stove, including wanting to feel good about the foods they eat, have pride in the brands they buy and share their cooking journeys online. The survey also explores the key factors contributing to this experiential evolution for grocery shoppers, including the growing natural/organics category. Shoppers’ spending on healthy products has seen steady growth in the past several years, driven by the desire of shoppers to feel good about the foods they’re eating. “From online grocery ordering and a desire to explore new foods, to natural products and socially responsible brands, consumers are at the wheel when it comes to steering the CPG industry in a new direction…there’s no doubt that this evolution will continue in the coming year, so it’s up to the industry to adapt by leaning into these trends and building trust and loyalty among all shoppers.” Colin Stewart, senior vice president at Acosta.

According to research dated March 2016 from Sullivan Higdon & Sink FoodThink, only one-third of consumers think the agriculture community and food companies are transparent. The research appears in “Evolving Trust in the Food Industry,” a white paper with insights into Americans’ knowledge and trust of the food industry and how those perceptions have changed from 2012 to 2016. These numbers are an improvement from 2012, when only 22% and 19% agreed that the agricultural community and food companies, respectively, are transparent. Increasing media attention and dialogue about food production, and the food industry’s willingness to be more open about its production practices, have likely caused this increase in perceived transparency. In turn, this provides consumers the knowledge to have definite opinions on the degree of industry transparency and an increased desire for more knowledge about how their food is produced.

According to the United States Department of Agriculture (“USDA”) website, the U.S. market for certified organic products continues to grow in double digits with 24,650 operations at the end of 2016, which reflects a 13% growth rate between the end of 2015 and 2016. Increasing consumer demand for healthy, better-for-you products produced with sustainable agricultural practices is driving growth in the organic market.

Market Driver #2 - Global competitiveness among retailers

Restaurant chains and retailers with dominant market shares and large buying power, like McDonald’s and Wal-Mart, are leading the way in prioritizing sustainable food supply initiatives in answer to consumer demands. With information literally at our fingertips, Google searches and smart phone apps are making it easier to expose where sustainable food supply chains are, and where they are not.

Producers, packers, distributors and retailers understand that verification, identification and traceability are key competitive differentiators. Oftentimes, it is necessary for export into international markets, including Korea, Russia and the European Union.

Market Driver #3 - Government regulation

In January 2013, the Food Safety Modernization Act (“FSMA”) issued two major proposed rules regarding preventive controls in human/animal food and produce safety. Compliance dates for some businesses began September 2016. Under the new rules, the food safety plan defined by the regulation differs from traditional hazard analysis and critical control points (“HACCP”) plans. It must include a hazard analysis, preventive controls, monitoring procedures, corrective action procedures, verification procedures, a supply chain program, and a recall program. We continue to see significant movement in companies requesting our consulting expertise to developing programs designed to assist them in maintaining compliance with the new rules.


The Animal Disease Traceability Rule primarily covers beef cattle 18 months of age or older. Under the final rule, unless specifically exempted, livestock moved interstate must be officially identified and accompanied by an interstate certificate of veterinary inspection or other documentation, such as owner-shipper statements or brand certificates.

The Saudi Arabia market closed to U.S. beef in 2012. Since that time, the beef industry has been working with the U.S. government to re-open that market, which officially happened in early August 2016. In order to be approved to meet the export requirements, a company must have or must be approved by a USDA process verified plan (“PVP”) and meet the Saudi Arabia export verification requirements. U.S. exports to Saudi Arabia in 2010 and 2011 were valued at approximately $30 million. We believe the Saudi Arabia market focuses on the highest quality middle meats, making it a valuable market for the U.S. to re-gain access.

On June 12, 2017, officials announced the technical requirements for beef exports to the People’s Republic of China. Export verification (“EV”) requirements include source and age verification with the use of a program compliant tag. In addition, China bans the use of synthetic growth promotants, including ractopamine. So, although there is not a formal non-hormone component to the EV requirements for the supply chain, due to China’s residue testing, packers will be seeking non-hormone treated cattle (“NHTC”) and/or Verified Natural cattle to ensure continued market access. China is the world’s second largest buyer of beef, but beef imports from the US to China have been banned since the 2003 Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (“BSE”) outbreak, also known as “Mad Cow Disease.”

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.

Historically,past several years, our growth has been funded primarily through a combination of cash flowcashflows from operations, convertible debt from private investors and private placement offerings.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 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 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 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.

Our plan for continued growth is primarily based upon acquisitions,on diversification and continuing to add more accreditations tobundling opportunities in our productsproduct offerings within national and services,international markets, as well as intensifying our focus on international markets.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 meansway to entry as imposed on international market imports/exports is via a quality verification program.overcome import or export restrictions.

Our margins are generally impacted by various costs such as cost of products, salaries and benefits, insurance and taxes.

Overall, the2021. The increase was primarily due to increased compensation expense related to an increase in our selling, generalheadcount. Depreciation and administrative expenses is due in part to slightly higher head count, increased sales and marketing costs, and increasing costs related to being a publicly held company and implementing new accounting standards.

It is a new revenue stream specific to our acquisition of SureHarvest, as further described in Note 2compared to the consolidated financial statementssame periods in 2021. The six 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 and six months ended June 30, 2022 was approximately $0.4 and $1.5 million, respectively, compared to approximately $0.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2021.

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:as improving the performance of our acquisitions,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 takes about 2-3can take two to three years after an acquisition date to fully understand the complexities, of our larger acquisitions, at which time, we have seen solid improvements in revenues and/or costs.
