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”). 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 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®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.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

Our unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) andinclude the results of operations, financial position and cash flows ofWhere Food Comes From, Inc.and its subsidiaries, International Certification Services, Inc. (“ICS”), Validus Verifications Services, LLC (“Validus”), Sterling Solutions (“Sterling”), SureHarvest Services, Inc. (“SureHarvest”), A Bee Organic, Sow Organic, and 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, 2018,2019, included in our Form 10-K filed on March 29, 2019.5, 2020. 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 incomeloss 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 and six months ended June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 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.

 

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 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 Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases that are not short-term in nature. Accounting for finance leases is substantially unchanged. Topic 842 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. We adopted the new lease standard as ofOn January 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective transition. Under the effective date method, financial results reported in periods prior to 2019 are unchanged. We also elected the package of practical expedients, which among other things, does not require reassessment of lease classification.

To assist in quantifying the impact on our consolidated financial statements and supplementing our existing disclosures,2020 we designed internal controls over the adoption and implemented a software solution to manage and account for our leases. The adoption had a significant impact on our consolidated balance sheet due to the recognition of approximately $3.90 million of operating lease liabilities with corresponding right-of-use (“ROU”) assets for operating leases of $3.44 million as of January 1, 2019. The difference between the lease liability and the ROU asset primarily represents the existing deferred rent liabilities balances before adoption, resulting from historical straight-lining of operating leases. Balances for deferred rent and lease incentive obligation, which were historically presented separately, were cleared to zero and reclassed to our operating ROU asset.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies the accounting for share-based payments made to nonemployees so the accounting for such payments is substantially the same as those made to employees. Under this ASU, share based awards to nonemployees will be measured at fair value on the grant date of the awards, entities will need to assess the probability of satisfying performance conditions if any are present, and awards will continue to be classified according to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718 upon vesting which eliminates the need to reassess classification upon vesting, consistent with awards granted to employees. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company adopted the new guidance on January 1, 2019 and it did not have any effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which adds a new Topic 326 to the Codification and removes the thresholds that companies apply to measure credit losses on financial instruments measured at amortized cost, such as loans, receivables, and held-to-maturity debt securities. Under current U.S. GAAP, companies generally recognize credit losses when it is probable that the loss has been incurred. The revised guidance will remove all recognition thresholds and will require companies to recognize an allowance for credit losses for the difference between the amortized cost basis of a financial instrument and the amount of amortized cost that the company expects to collect over the instrument’s contractual life. The Company is required to adopt the new standard in 2020.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited) 

In April 2017, the FASB has issued ASU 2017-04, “SimplifyingSimplifying 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.adoption of this update did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issuedOn January 1, 2020 we adopted ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 8420): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2018-13 modifies the requirements associated with the hierarchy associated with Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements.The provisionsadoption of this ASU are effective for reporting periods after December 15, 2019; early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect that this ASU willupdate did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

In August 2018 the FASB issuedOn January 1, 2020 we adopted ASU 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal Use Software - Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract, which amends the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract to align with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software.The adoption of this update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We are in the process of evaluating thedid not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and the timing of adoption of this update.Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Note 2 – Business Acquisitions

Sow Organic Acquisition

 

On May 16, 2018, weFebruary 21, 2020 the Company acquired substantially all of the assetsstock of Sow Organicprivately held Postelsia Holdings, Ltd. (“Postelsia”) for $450,000$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 to support any claims by the Company for breaches of representation and 217,654 shareswarranties.

Postelsia, based in Victoria, British Columbia, is a leader in the emerging field of common stockenvironmental and social sustainability programs for the seafood industry. Postelsia provides a range of WFCF valued at approximately $433,100. We believe the transaction further diversifies our offerings by adding complementary solutionsprograms and consulting services availabledesigned to newimprove and existing customers. Sow Organic’s softwarepromote sustainable practices, including environmental conservation, worker care, and food safety compliance. Postelsia will operate as a service (SaaS) model allows organic certification bodies to automate and accelerate new customer onboarding by converting traditional paper-based processes to digital format, resulting in lower costs, improved workflow management and increased productivity.  Sow Organic’s unique design allows certification bodies to digitize any certification scheme.  Likewise, the software affords producers and handlers a more efficient way to become certified and to digitally manage their records on an ongoing basis, including completing annual certification requirements fully online. We intend to further develop the organic business opportunity and collaborate on a broader rolloutwholly owned subsidiary of the solution to other certification markets where the tool is equally suited to improve efficiencies and reduce costs in the certification process. This transaction further strengthens our intellectual property portfolio, which we believe represents a distinct competitive advantage for the Company.

 

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.

JVF Consulting Acquisition

On August 30, 2018, we acquired substantially all of the assets of JVF Consulting, LLC (“Seller” or “JVF”) for $500,000 in cash and 158,437 shares of common stock of WFCF valued at approximately $315,300. We believe the transaction adds value to certain of our existing software solutions which are based on intellectual property built and owned by the Seller. JVF is currently the largest technology provider to our SureHarvest division. With this acquisition, WFCF controls the intellectual property associated with its current Software as a Service (SaaS) offerings. Additionally, WFCF employed three of the Seller’s employees who enhance our ability to address new markets and services with our SaaS Solutions.

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.

Note 4 - Investment in Progressive Beef, LLC

 

OnAugust 9, 2018, the Company purchased a ten percent membership interest in Progressive Beef, LLC (“Progressive Beef”) for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $991,000. The purchase price was payable in cash of $900,000 and 50,340 shares of common stock of WFCF valued at approximately $91,100 based upon the closing price of our stock on August 9, 2018, of $1.81 per share. Where Food Comes From is the primary certifier for Progressive Beef. For the three months ended June 30,March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, the Company received dividend income from Progressive Beef of $30,000 representing a distribution of their earnings. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company received dividend income totaling $60,000. The income is reflected within the “other (expense) income” section of the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Income for the three and six months ended June 30,March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019. The investment is accounted for as a financial instrument under ASC 321 and the Company has elected to apply the practical expedient to value the investment at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar investment of the same issuer. The Company completed a qualitative assessment and determined that there were no impairment indicators as of June 30, 2019.  March 31, 2020.

Note 8 – 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 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 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 income.operations.

Note 9 – 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.

Note 10 - Revenue Recognition

Verification and Certification Segment

We offer a range of products and services to maintain identification, traceability, and verification systems. We conduct 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 generate revenue primarily from the sale of our verification solutions, consulting services and hardware sales. We sell our products and services directly to customers at various levels in the livestock and agricultural supply chains.

Verification and certification service revenue primarily consists of fees charged for verification audits and other verification services that the Company performs for customers.

A more detailed summary of our verification and certification services is included in the subsections below.

Animal Verification and Certification Services

Our animal verification and certification services contracts are generally structured in one of the following ways: (i) we commit to perform the required number of animal audits to verify a customer’s compliance with a standard or claim, or (ii) we commit to perform animal audit services at a fixed price by site or location type as requested by our customer during an annual period. These contract structures are discussed in more detail in the subsections below. 


Where Food Comes From, Inc.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited) 

Contract to Provide Required Number of Animal Audit Services

For certain of our animal verification and certification services, we commit to perform the required number of location or site audits within our customer’s supply chain to verify customer’s compliance with a contractually-specified standard or claim. Each location or site audit is typically very short-term in nature, with a typical duration of one to two weeks. Upon completion of an audit, we provide the customer with an audit verification report for the specific site or location that was audited. Payment is made by customer upon completion of each site or location audit.

We generally enter into revenue contracts with a one-year term. Our customers generally have the right to terminate the contract without prejudice with thirty days’ written notice. We have determined that, as a result of the termination provisions present in these contracts, the accounting contract term is a thirty-day period, with each thirty-day time increment representing a separate accounting contract under ASC 606.

Furthermore, we have concluded that there is a single performance obligation that is a series comprised of each distinct location or site audit performed. Our customers are charged a standard daily rate for the provision of an audit based on the scale of site operations and geographical location. Consideration attributable to each audit within the series is variable, as the number of days required to complete each audit is not known until performance of that audit occurs. We have concluded that it is appropriate to allocate variable consideration (that is, the number of days required to complete an audit) to each audit within the series. This is because the consideration that we earn for each audit relates specifically to our efforts to transfer to our customer that discrete audit, and the resulting audit opinion or verification report, for that specified site or location, and this allocation is consistent with the allocation objective as defined in ASC 606. As a result, instances in which the Company evaluates and applies the constraint on variable consideration are immaterial.

We further concluded that over-time recognition is appropriate because: (i) our performance of audits does not create an asset with an alternative use, as the audit and related verification report relates to facts and circumstances that are specific to each customer site or location (that is, there is a practical limitation on our ability to readily direct the asset to another customer) and (ii) we have an enforceable right to payment, inclusive of a reasonable profit, for performance completed to date. We utilize an input method to measure over-time progress of each audit within the series based on the number of audit days performed.

We do, however, note that there are instances in which we only have an enforceable right to payment upon completion of an audit, and thus, over-time recognition is not permitted. For these contracts, revenue is recognized at the point in time at which an audit is completed. This does not result in a significant difference in the timing of revenue recognition (as compared to those audits that are recognized over time) due to the very short-term duration of an audit.

Our customers may also have the option to purchase incremental review services (for example, an investigative audit or video review services) that are unrelated to the audit services to verify compliance with a specified standard or claim. The incremental review services are also typically very short-term in nature (that is, one to two weeks). We have concluded that these optional purchases do not reflect a material right under ASC 606 because the incremental review services are performed at standard pricing that would be charged to other similarly situated customers. Upon customer request for an incremental review service, we believe that our customer has made a discrete purchasing decision that should be treated as a separate accounting contract under ASC 606.


Where Food Comes From, Inc.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited) 

We charge a fixed fee for the incremental review service, and thus, upon customer request, we are entitled to fixed consideration for that service under ASC 606. We concluded that over-time revenue recognition is appropriate for incremental review services because: (i) our performance of incremental review services does not create an asset with an alternative use because that review service, and the associated customer deliverable, relates to facts and circumstances that are specific to each customer site or location (that is, there is a practical limitation on our ability to readily direct the asset to another customer) and (ii) we have an enforceable right to payment, inclusive of a reasonable profit, for performance completed to date on incremental review services. We utilize a time-based input method to measure progress toward complete satisfaction of an incremental review service, which is based on the number of hours performed on the incremental review service relative to the total number of hours required to complete that review service. As previously mentioned, our incremental review services are typically completed within one to two weeks of a customer request.

Contract to Provide Animal Audit Services at Customer Request

Other animal verification and certification services contracts are structured such that we commit to perform audit services at a fixed price by site or location type as requested by our customer during an annual period. Performance of an audit typically occurs within a one to two-week period. We invoice our customer upon completion of an audit, and payment is due from customer within thirty days or less of receipt of invoice.

Under this contract structure, the customer is, in effect, provided a pricing list for animal audit services, and pricing is effective over a one-year period. We have concluded that enforceable rights and obligations do not arise until a customer actually engages us to perform an audit service documented in the pricing list; therefore, each customer request represents a purchasing decision that is a separate accounting contract under ASC 606. 

We note that the termination provisions specified in our pricing lists vary. In certain instances, a customer may only have the right to terminate in the event of non-performance. Alternatively, in other contracts, a customer may have the right to terminate without prejudice at any time or with thirty days’ written notice. However, regardless of the termination provision specified, we have concluded that the accounting contract term is equal to the duration of the requested audit service (that is, the termination provisions generally do not affect the accounting contract term for each requested audit service).

Upon a customer’s request for an audit service, consideration is fixed, as we charge the customer a fixed fee by audit type over the annual period per the pricing list.

We concluded that over-time revenue recognition is appropriate for a requested audit service because: (i) our performance of the requested audit service does not create an asset with an alternative use as that audit, and the associated audit report, relate to facts and circumstances that are specific to each customer site or location (that is, there is a practical limitation on our ability to readily direct the asset to another customer) and (ii) we have an enforceable right to payment, inclusive of a reasonable profit, for performance completed to date on a requested audit. A time-based input method is utilized to measure progress toward complete satisfaction of an audit based on the number of hours performed on that audit relative to the total number of hours expected to be required to complete the audit. As previously mentioned, our audit services are typically completed within one to two weeks of a customer request.

Other Considerations for Animal Certification and Verification Services

In connection with the provision of on-site audits related to animal certification and verification services, reimbursable expenses are incurred and billed to customers, and such amounts are recognized on a gross basis as both revenue and cost of revenue.


Where Food Comes From, Inc.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited) 

Any amounts collected on behalf of a third-party and remitted in full to that third-party are excluded from the transaction price and, thus, revenue.

Crop and Other Processed Product Verification and Certification Services

Third-party crop and other processed product audits are generally structured such that we commit to perform an independent audit to verify that food producers and/or farmers comply with certain standards. We generally provide verification services related to organic, Non-GMO and gluten-free standards. Depending on the crop or product type, verification audit activities may take two months to one year to complete. During this assessment period, various integrated audit activities and/or input reviews are performed in accordance with the regulations specified by the relevant standard.

The fee structure is such that customers pay an annual assessment fee for a crop or other processed product to verify compliance with the specified standard. This fee is payable upfront on a nonrefundable basis. Our customers can typically terminate a crop or other processed product audit at any time without prejudice. However, given the nonrefundable upfront payment structure for the annual assessment service, we have concluded that the contract term is one year. We record the upfront payment made by the customer for the annual assessment service as deferred revenue.

The audit activities and input reviews required in the provision of an annual assessment are not distinct under ASC 606, and consequently, we account for an annual assessment as a single integrated performance obligation.

For certain of our third-party crop and other processed product audits, the annual assessment fee is fixed for the annual period. In other scenarios, the annual assessment fee may be variable due to increased review activities required for incremental inputs to a crop or processed product identified through the assessment process. At the time that an incremental input is identified, which generally occurs in the early stages of an annual assessment, the incremental consideration for the provision of review services related to that incremental input also becomes known. 

We allocate the transaction price derived from the annual assessment fee to the single integrated performance obligation for that annual assessment. Revenue related to the annual assessment is recognized over time in accordance with ASC 606. This is because the annual assessment service does not create an asset with an alternative use, as it relates to facts and circumstances that are specific to a customer’s crop or processed product. Further, we have an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date on the annual assessment due to the nonrefundable upfront payment made by customer. We utilize an input method to measure progress toward satisfaction of the annual assessment based on the percentage of activities/phases or input reviews completed under the annual assessment.

As it relates to the upfront payment for the annual assessment, we have utilized the practical expedient that exempts us from adjusting consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when we expect that the period between customer payment and the provision of the related service is one year or less.

In certain contracts, an independent third-party inspection may be required for a site or location in our customer’s supply chain in accordance with the regulations for a specified standard. An inspection is performed by an independent third-party inspector, and the customer is charged an hourly rate for these inspection services.

Under this scenario, a separate accounting contract arises upon initiation and performance of an inspection, and we typically invoice our customer for the inspection upon completion of the inspection service. Given that the customer has the ability to terminate at any time without prejudice, we have concluded that the contract term for each inspection ends as control of an inspection service transfers. Inspections are generally short-term in nature with a term ranging from a few days to two weeks.


Where Food Comes From, Inc.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited) 

We have further determined that inspections are distinct from an annual assessment. Consideration attributable to an inspection is variable, as the inspector is only able to provide a high-level estimate of the cost of the inspection based on the inspector’s hourly rate until the inspector is at the relevant producer/supplier site to determine the time and level of effort required to complete the inspection. Given the very short-term nature of an inspection, variability related to an inspection generally resolves itself within a reporting period. However, we are typically required by certain regulations to provide an inspection cost estimate to our customer, and, if required, we utilize that estimate as our estimate of variable consideration. The cost estimate is generally derived from the cost to perform the prior-year inspection for that specific customer site or location or, when required, the historical cost to provide an inspection for a comparable site or location. In our experience, the historical cost of inspections has been predictive of the future cost of an inspection.

Other Considerations for Crop and Other Processed Product Verification Services

Reimbursable expenses incurred in the provision of an annual assessment or required inspection are billed to our customers, and such amounts are recognized on a gross basis as both revenue and cost of revenue.

In addition, any amounts collected on behalf of a third-party and remitted in full to that third-party are excluded from the transaction price and, thus, revenue.

Product Sales

Product sales are primarily generated from the sale of cattle identification ear tags. Each customer purchase request represents a purchasing decision made by customer. As such, enforceable rights and obligations (and, thus, a separate accounting contract under ASC 606) arise at the time a customer submits its purchase request to us. At the time of request, we are entitled to fixed consideration, as the sales quantity and related price of the product is known. All of our customers are charged the same fixed price per tag.

Revenue for product sales is recognized upon delivery of the goods to customer, at which point title, custody and risk of loss transfer to the customer. We typically deliver product to the customer within a few days of customer’s sales request. At the time of delivery, we invoice our customer for the related product sales and record invoiced amounts to accounts receivable. Payment is typically due by customer upon receipt of invoice.

In relation to our product sales, the sales taxes collected from customers and remitted to government authorities are excluded from revenue.

Additionally, we do not typically provide right of return or warranty on product sales.

Software Sales and Related Consulting Segment

We predominately offer software products via a SaaS model, which is an annual subscription-based model. Support services are generally included in the subscription. We also provide web-hosting services on an annual basis to all of our customers in conjunction with their software subscription. Customers have the ability to terminate without prejudice upon thirty days’ written notice; however, the subscription fee, inclusive of maintenance and support services, and the web-hosting fee are paid upfront by the customer on a nonrefundable basis. Consequently, we have concluded that the contract term for the annual software subscription and web-hosting services is one year.

We have determined that a software license subscription and the related hosting service should be accounted for as a service transaction, as we provide the functionality of our software through the hosting arrangement. The SaaS arrangement provides customers with unlimited access to our software and, thus, is accounted for as a series of distinct daily service periods that provide substantially the same service (that is, continuous access to the hosted software) each day during the annual contract term. Further, the provision of basic technical support services also represents a stand-ready obligation that is a series of distinct daily service periods that provide substantially the same service (that is, access to our technical support infrastructure) during the annual contract term. Because the basic technical support services and SaaS each represent performance obligations that are a series of distinct daily service periods, we have elected to combine these performance obligations.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited) 

We are entitled to fixed consideration for the software license subscription, inclusive of support services, and the related hosting service. The software license subscription and hosting fees in our contracts represent the standalone selling price for that related service. This is because the fees charged for the software license subscription and hosting service represent the software license subscription and hosting service fees that are charged to other customers with a similar level of data loaded into the software (regardless of whether that customer contracts for professional services). Accordingly, the software license subscription and hosting fees are allocated to the combined SaaS performance obligation.

We recognize revenue related to the SaaS arrangement over time because a customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit from the provision of access to the hosted software over the annual subscription period. Accordingly, we utilize a time-based output measure of progress that results in a straight-line attribution of revenue. That is, revenue related to the combined SaaS obligation should be recognized daily on a straight-line basis over the one-year subscription term, as this reflects the direct measurement of value to a customer of the provision of access to the software via hosting each day.

As it relates to the upfront payment for the software subscription and hosting service, we have utilized the practical expedient that exempts us from adjusting consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when we expect that the period between customer payment and the provision of the related service is one year or less.

In addition, we record the upfront payment made by customer for the annual assessment service as deferred revenue.

In some of our SaaS contracts, we also provide software-related consulting services to our customers during an annual software subscription period. Consulting services fees are derived from a standard rate card by employee level, and we invoice for consulting services monthly on a time-incurred basis. Due to the termination provisions present in our SaaS contracts, our customers have an in-substance renewal decision each month for further consulting services (that is, via their decision not to terminate the contract each month). Accordingly, the contract term for consulting services is on a month-to-month basis within the annual subscription period.

We have concluded that consulting services are distinct from the SaaS arrangement. To the extent that consulting services result in a software enhancement or new functionality, we have determined that those consulting services are still distinct because added features typically provide new, discrete capabilities with independent value to a customer and a customer accesses the SaaS in a single-tenant architecture. Further, additional features and functionality are often made available to a customer substantially after the “go-live” date of the software (via the hosting service). As a result, our software-related consulting services represent distinct performance obligations.

We recognize revenue over time in accordance with ASC 606. This is because our performance does not create an asset with an alternative use, as consulting services, and, if applicable, any related software enhancements, are highly tailored to the farming industry specific to the given customer, and we have an enforceable right to payment, inclusive of profit, for performance completed to date. As a result, for our consulting services, we have elected to utilize the practical expedient that allows us to recognize revenue in the amount to which we have a right to invoice, as we believe that we have a right to consideration from a customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of our performance completed to date for the provision of consulting services.

Principal versus Agent Considerations

Under certain of our verification and certification service contracts, a third-party inspector may be required to perform an independent inspection of a site or location within our customer’s supply chain in accordance with regulations of a certain standard or claim. In this scenario, we have concluded that we are the principal in the provision of inspection services to our customer, as we control the inspection service, and the related inspection report, before it is transferred to our customer. In accordance with this conclusion, we present revenue related to inspections on a gross basis, with customer payment for an inspection presented as revenue and the inspection cost paid to the third-party inspector presented as an expense.

In addition, we utilize a third-party to provide web-hosting services in the provision of our SaaS arrangements. In this scenario, we are primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide web-hosting services to the customer, and we establish the fee that the customer is charged for the web-hosting services. Consequently, we have also concluded that we are the principal in the provision of web-hosting services under our SaaS arrangements. As such, we present revenue on a gross basis, with consideration received from our customer for the web-hosting service recorded as revenue and the cost paid to the third-party to provide those web-hosting services recorded as an expense.

Disaggregation of Revenue

 

We have identified four material revenue categories in our business: (i) verification and certification service revenue, (ii) product sales, (iii) software license, maintenance and support services revenue and (iv) software-related consulting service revenue.

Transaction Price Allocated to Remaining Performance Obligations

We generally enter into revenue contracts with a one-year term. In certain instances, we have concluded that our contract term is less than one year because: (i) the termination provisions present in the contract impact the contract term under ASC 606 or (ii) a contract under ASC 606 arises at the time our customer requests the provision of a good or service that is delivered within or over a few days to a couple of weeks. As a result of our short-term contract structures, we have utilized the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14 that exempts us from disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the performance obligation is part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less.

Contract Balances

Under our animal verification and certification services contracts, we invoice customers once the performance obligation for the provision of a site or location audit has been satisfied, at which point payment is unconditional. In addition, any product sales are invoiced upon delivery to the customer, at which point payment is also unconditional. Accordingly, our animal verification and certification services contracts do not give rise to a contract asset under ASC 606; rather, invoiced amounts reflect accounts receivable.

Under our crop and other processed product verification and certification services, a nonrefundable payment for an annual assessment of compliance with a standard is typically made by our customers upfront upon contract execution. That is, payment is made in advance of the provision of annual assessment services. Accordingly, we recognize deferred revenue upon receipt of the upfront payment from our customers for crop and other processed product audit assessment services. Revenue is subsequently recognized, and the related deferred revenue is reduced, over the one-year period during which assessment services are provided to the customer using the over-time measure of progress selected in accordance with ASC 606. To the extent that an inspection is required during the annual assessment period, we invoice customers once the performance obligation for the inspection has been satisfied, at which point payment is unconditional. As such, inspection services give rise to accounts receivable.

Our software subscriptions, web-hosting, and support services are paid by our customers upfront on a nonrefundable basis. That is, payment is made in advance of the provision of these services to our customers. As a result, we recognize deferred revenue upon receipt of the upfront payment from our customers for software subscriptions, web-hosting and maintenance and support services. Revenue is subsequently recognized, and the related deferred revenue is reduced, on a straight-line basis during the annual contract term that these stand-ready services are provided to customer.

Software-related consulting services are invoiced monthly on a time-incurred basis, at which point we have an enforceable right to payment for those services. Because payment is unconditional upon invoicing, our software-related consulting services are reflected as accounts receivable.

As of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, accounts receivable from contracts with customers, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, were approximately $2,632,400 and $2,205,200, respectively.

As of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, deposits and deferred revenue from contracts with customers were approximately $1,255,500 and $727,900, respectively. The balance of the contract liabilities at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are expected to be recognized as revenue within one year or less of the invoice date.

Costs to fulfill a contract

Prior to August 2018, we incurred a fixed cost, payable to JVF Consulting, LLC, a third-party provider, to perform set-up activities for new (or first-year) customers that contract for our software subscription and hosting services. As previously discussed in Note 2, on August 30, 2018, we acquired JVF Consulting, which included three key employees. We concluded that those set-up activities performed by JVF did not transfer a good or service as defined in ASC 606 to our customers.

We capitalize fixed set-up costs as an asset on the following basis: (i) the fixed set-up costs incurred relate specifically to a customer contract for our software subscription and hosting service, (ii) the fixed set-up costs incurred are expected to be recovered via provision of the software subscription and hosting service to that customer and (iii) the set-up costs generate or enhance resources of the Company by permitting us to provide software subscription and hosting services to our customer, which, in turn, generates revenues.

Capitalized costs related to those set-up activities are amortized on a straight-line basis over the one-year license subscription and hosting period.

The ending balance at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 of capitalized assets attributable to the set-up costs incurred to fulfill software subscription and hosting contracts was not material. No set-up costs related to our software subscription and hosting services were incurred for the three months ended June 30, 2019 or the year-ended December 31, 2018.

In addition, amortization of capitalized set-up costs for the three months ended June 30, 2019 or the year ended December 31, 2018 was not material, and no impairment loss was incurred related to capitalized set-up costs.

Commissions and other costs to obtain a contract are expensed as incurred as our contracts are typically completed in one year or less, and where applicable, we generally would incur these costs whether or not we ultimately obtain the contract.

Note 11 – Leases

We adopted ASU 2016-02: Leases (Topic 842) as of January 1, 2019. We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in the right-of-use (ROU) assets, current operating lease liabilities and noncurrent operating lease liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet. Finance leases are included in property and equipment, current finance lease obligations and long-term finance lease obligations in our consolidated balance sheet.

ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of lease payments over the lease term.

As the discount rates in the Company’s lease are not implicit, the Company estimated the incremental borrowing rate based on the rate of interest the Company would have to pay to borrow a similar amount on a collateralized basis over a similar term.

Our lease term includes options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Leases with a term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. Our lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees.

We have operating and finance leases for corporate offices, other regional offices, and certain equipment. Our leases have remaining lease terms of 1 year to 15 years, some of which include multiple options to extend the leases for up to 5 years each.

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.

Contingently Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest

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”). We purchased the business assets of the Seller for total consideration of approximately $2.66 million, comprised of approximately $1,122,000 in cash and 850,852 shares of common stock of WFCF valued at approximately $1,534,900. 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 table below reflects the activity of the contingently redeemable non-controlling interest:

Note 13 - 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, 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 operating segments. Segment management makes decisions, measures performance, and manages the business utilizing internal reporting operating segment information. Performance of operating segments are based on net sales, gross profit, selling, general and administrative expenses and most importantly, operating income.

ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONOPERATIONSS

 

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, 2018.2019. 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,” or “us”) is a leading trusted resource for third-party verification of food 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, Validus Verification Services, Sterling Solutions, and 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, crops and other food products are accurate.

 

Through our more recent acquisitions, including SureHarvest Services LLC; Sow Organic, LLC; and JVF Consulting, LLC,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 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 OTCQB marketplace 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 40 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 production practices, we believe there are three main market drivers to promote forward momentum for our business: 

Market Driver #1 - Consumer awareness and expectations

Per the August 2017 edition of Global Organic Food Market produced by TechSci Research, the global organic food market stood at $110.25 billion in 2016 and is projected to grow at a compounded annual growth rate of 16.15%, in value terms, during 2017 – 2022, to reach $262.85 billion by 2022. Growing awareness regarding health benefits of organic food consumption, rising per capita spending on organic food products and increasing health concerns due to the growing number of chemical poisoning cases are expected to drive global organic food market in the coming years. In addition, continuing product innovations and aggressive marketing strategies adopted by major players and online retailers would positively influence the global organic food market during forecast period.

Per the 2018 U.S. Grocery Shopper Trends produced by the Food Marketing Institute, shoppers evaluate a food retailer by how well it supports an overarching goal of eating well. Eating well means meeting one’s needs, pleasures and values through food experiences delivering health, taste or discovery and mindful connections. As consumers navigate a landscape of increasing choice around their sources for food, shopping well has come to mean more than just meeting eating needs within budget. Shopping well affords engagement with food discovery and ethical sourcing, even as it prompts shoppers to evolve their eating well aspirations. Shoppers continue to look “beyond the shelf” in their purchase decisions. Grass-fed beef has seen more engagement since last year’s study, as have local and fair-trade products, amidst an otherwise consistent picture of sustainable and ethical shopper behaviors. Shoppers also report a higher reliance on their food store to ensure food safety, with less reliance on the Food and Drug Administration. Consumers believe it is especially important for retailers to provide detailed information (transparency) about the products they sell.

Market Driver #2 - Global competitiveness among retailers

Producers, restaurant chains and retailers with dominant market shares and large buying power, like Dannon, McDonald’s and Wal-Mart, are leading the way in prioritizing sustainable food supply initiatives in response 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, China and the European Union.

Market Driver #3 - Government regulation

The Animal Disease Traceability Rule promulgated by the USDA 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. Although animal disease traceability does not prevent disease, an efficient and accurate traceability system reduces the number of animals and response time involved in a disease investigation.

Cattle export verification (“EV”) requirements to China include source and age verification with the use of a program compliant ear 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 seek non-hormone treated cattle and/or verified natural cattle to ensure continued market access. China is the world’s second largest buyer of beef.

The development of the U.S. Hemp Authority Certified program demonstrates commitment toward high standards and transparency with hemp cultivation. The 2014 Farm Bill allowed farmers to start pilot programs for hemp alongside their agricultural programs. As of 2018, a new bill allows farmers to grow hemp with all the protections traditional farming receives. This Farm Bill allows farmers to legally grow hemp, which means more CBD products on the shelves. Through this bill, hemp will no longer be considered a controlled substance but rather take its place alongside all other types of traditional farming.

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.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, we had cash, cash equivalents and certificates of deposits (classified as short-term and long-term investments) of approximately $2,855,900$3.2 million compared to approximately $1,981,000$2.9 million at December 31, 2018.2019. Our working capital at June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 was approximately $2,906,700$2.6 million compared to $2,669,700$3.1 million at December 31, 2018.2019.

 

Net cash provided by operating activities for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 was approximately $1,379,100$0.9 million compared to net cash provided of $1,118,800$1.3 million during the same period in 2018.2019. Net cash provided by operating activities is driven by our net incomeloss and adjusted by non-cash items. Non-cash adjustments primarily include depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, and deferred taxes. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was primarily driven by a change in accounts receivable and accounts payable as of March 31, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. The Company has evaluated their customer receivables in relation to the current economic impact due to the coronavirus pandemic and does not feel any of the receivables are impaired at this time, but will keep actively monitoring the customer receivables.

 

Net cash provided byused in investing activities for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, was approximately $1,600$0.4 million compared to cash used in investing activities of $614,200$0.2 million used in the 20182019 period. Net cash provided byused in the 2019March 31, 2020 period was primarily attributable to the redemption of a $250,000 certificate of deposit offset by routine purchases of property, equipment and software development costs. The 2018 period net cash used was attributable to the acquisition of Sow Organic which utilized $450,000 of cash during the three months ended June 30, 2018.

Net cash used in financing activitiesPostelsia Holdings, Ltd for the six months ended June 30, 2019, was approximately $262,700 compared to $149,300 used in the 2018 period. Net cash used in both the 2019 and 2018 periods was primarily due to the repurchase of common shares under the Stock Buyback Plan.$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-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 annual 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 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-generating capabilities to adequately manage our ongoing business.

 

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. 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 continued expansion of verification bundling opportunities, as well as acquisitions in national and international markets. We believe that there are significant growth opportunities available to us because often the only way to differentiate a product or brand, or overcome import/export restrictions is via a quality verification program.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of 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 as a result of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting discussed below, that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report. However, weWe 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.

 

Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting and Remediation Plan

In connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, we and our independent registered public accounting firm identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

As a smaller reporting company, we have limited accounting and financial reporting personnel and other resources with which to address our internal controls over financial reporting. Due to limited accounting personnel, we did not apply the appropriate level of review, oversight and segregation of duties to the accounting and financial reporting function. This resulted in the identification of a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. As of June 30, 2019, we have hired additional accounting personnel. Additionally, we have implemented a more robust review, supervision and monitoring of the financial reporting process also intended to remediate the identified material weakness.

The Company lacked effective procedures for ensuring review and approval related to journal entries. Due to the related risks associated with financial reporting, this deficiency has been deemed an individual material weakness. As of June 30, 2019, we have strengthened controls around the journal entry process, including limiting access and ensuring all journal entries are reviewed and approved by appropriate personnel.

We also identified a material weakness related to general information technology controls in the areas of user access to systems that support the Company’s financial reporting processes. We did not implement a procedure or control to periodically review the access granted in order to ensure that users of our information systems had the appropriate access relative to the user’s job responsibilities. We did not restrict and maintain network access accounts to only employees in the information technology department and had no compensating controls. With the acquisition of JVF Consulting in August 2018, we added 3 additional information technology professionals with knowledge of security, networking and infrastructure. These individuals ensure user access is documented, properly approved and routinely monitored to determine appropriateness.

The material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. The Company expects that the remediation of these material weaknesses will be completed prior to the end of fiscal year 2019.


In light of these material weaknesses, in preparing our financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2019, we performed additional analyses and procedures to ensure that our consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. There have been no material misstatements identified in the financial statements as a result of these deficiencies.

Management believes that the foregoing efforts will effectively remediate the material weaknesses. As we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal control over financial reporting, management may determine to take additional measures to address the material weaknesses or to modify the remediation plans described above.

Internal Control 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.

 

The changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred prior to and during the quarter ended June 30, 2019, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting are described above under the heading “Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting and Remediation Plan.”

Except as described above, thereThere 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.
