Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect certain reported amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience, estimated expected lifetime credits losses, economic conditions or future economic trends and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant management estimates relate to the loans receivable allowance for credit losses, carrying value and impairment of goodwill, other long-lived assets, right-of-use assets and related liabilities (including the applicable discount rate), inventory valuation and obsolescence, estimated useful lives of intangible assets and property and equipment, gift certificate and merchandise credits liability and deferred taxes and tax uncertainties.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.
InventoryFair Value Measurements
ManufacturingThe fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that could be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Financial assets are marked to bid prices and financial liabilities are marked to offer prices. Fair value measurements do not include transaction costs. A fair value hierarchy is used to prioritize the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three-level hierarchy is as follows:
Inventory is stated at the lower of costLevel 1 – Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or market. Cost for manufactured finished goods is determined using the standard cost method. Raw materials consist primarily of parts used to make products. Fabricated components consist of processed raw materials, capitalized labor and overhead. Finished goods consist of completed products, parts and accessories available for sale. An inventory valuation allowance is provided for excess, obsolete and slow-moving inventory.liabilities.
Level 2 – Observable market-based inputs or inputs that are corroborated by market data.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market date.
The Company’s held to maturity securities are comprised of U.S Treasury zero coupon T-Bills.
The Company computes basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings“Earnings Per Share, (“EPS”),” which is computed by dividing the income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period, as calculated using the treasury stock method. In computing diluted EPS, the weighted average market price for the period is used in determining the number of common shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options. As of December 31, 2020, 65,000 of potential common shares equivalents from stock options were excluded from the diluted EPS calculations as their effect is anti-dilutive.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2019, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which eliminates certain exceptions to the existing guidance for income taxes related to the approach for intra-period tax allocations, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This ASU also simplifies the accounting for income taxes by clarifying and amending existing guidance related to the effects of enacted changes in tax laws or rates in the effective tax rate computation, the recognition of franchise tax and the evaluation of a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill, among other clarifications. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 on January 1, 2021, the adoption of which did not have a material impact on its financial statements.
No other new accounting pronouncements issued or effective during the fiscal year have had or are expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
3. | Risks Inherent in the Operating Environment – |
Supply Chain - Fluctuations in the availability and price of inputs could have an adverse effect on our ability to manufacture and sell our products profitably and could adversely affect our margins and revenue.
Our manufacturing operations depend upon the adequate supply of steel, engines and other components and raw materials. Our direct to consumer operations depend upon an adequate supply of, among other things, seeds and live plants. Our inability to procure any of these production materials, components or finished goods, delays in receiving them or not being able to procure them at competitive prices, particularly during applicable peak seasons, could adversely impact our ability to produce our products and to sell our products on a cost effective basis which, in turn, could adversely affect our revenue and profitability.
9
Our results of operations may be negatively impacted by product liability lawsuits.
The Company’s Manufacturing segment is subject to potential product liability risks that relate to the design, manufacture, sale and use of our products. To date, we have not incurred material costs related to these product liability claims. While we believe our current general liability and product liability insurance is adequate to protect us from future product liability claims, there can be no assurance that our coverage will be adequate to cover all claims that may arise. Additionally, we may not be able to maintain insurance coverage in the future at an acceptable cost. Significant losses not covered by insurance or for which third-party indemnification is not available could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, it may be necessary for us to recall products that do not meet approved specifications, which could result in adverse publicity as well as costs connected to the recall and loss of revenue.
Regulatory
The Company’s Consumer Finance segment activities are highly regulated under numerous federal, state, and local laws, regulations and rules, which are subject to change. New laws, regulations or rules could be enacted or issued, interpretations of existing laws, regulations or rules may change and enforcement action by regulatory agencies may intensify. Over the past several years, consumer advocacy groups and certain media reports have advocated governmental and regulatory action to prohibit or severely restrict sub-prime lending activities of the kind conducted by the Company. After several years of research, debate, and public hearings, in October 2017 the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”) adopted a new rule for payday lending. The 2017 rule, originally scheduled to go into effect in August 2019, would have imposed significant restrictions on the industry, and it was expected that a large number of lenders would be forced to close their stores. The CFPB’s studies projected a reduction in the number of lenders by 50%, while industry studies forecasted a much higher attrition rate if the rule is implemented as originally adopted.adopted.
However, in January 2018, the CFPB issued a statement that it intendsintended to “reconsider” the regulation. In July 2020, the CFPB issued a final rule applicable to the 2017 rule. The final rule rescindsrescinded the mandatory underwriting provisions of the 2017 rule but doesdid not rescind or alter the payments provisions of the 2017 rule. The CFPB will seek to have these rules go into effect with a reasonable period for entities to come into compliance. The implementation of the final rule is likely to result in a reduction of in-house bad debt collections, higher collection costs and thus a negative impact and further contraction of our Consumer Finance segment.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
The above rule or any other adverse change in present federal, state, or local laws or regulations that govern or otherwise affect lending could result in the Consumer Finance segment’s curtailment or cessation of operations in certain or all jurisdictions or locations. Furthermore, any failure to comply with any applicable local, state or federal laws or regulations could result in fines, litigation, closure of one or more store locations or negative publicity. Any such change or failure would have a corresponding impact on the Company’s and segment’s results of operations and financial condition, primarily through a decrease in revenues resulting from the cessation or curtailment of operations, or a decrease in operating income through increased legal expenditures or fines, and could also negatively affect the Company’s general business prospects due to lost or decreased operating income or if negative publicity effects its ability to obtain additional financing as needed.
In addition, the passage of federal, additional state or local laws and regulations or changes in interpretations of them could, at any point, essentially prohibit the Consumer Finance segment from conducting its lending business in its current form. Any such legal or regulatory change would certainly have a material and adverse effect on the Company, its operating results, financial condition and prospects, and perhaps even the viability of the Consumer Finance segment.

Provision for income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $1.34 million and $1.30 million for an effective rate of 21.4% and 21.7%, respectively. The effective tax rate is lower than the federal plus state statutory rates due to: (1) noncontrolling interests’ share of net income is not subject to income tax at the consolidated group level; (2) year-over-year changes in the number and mix of states in which our subsidiaries are subject to state income taxes due to various nexus factors such as changes in multi-state activities by members of the consolidated group and its impact on the application of respective state income tax rules and regulations; and (3) changes in state income tax related statutes and regulations. Excluding the noncontrolling interests’ share of net income, the effective tax rate for the comparable periods was 24.3% and 24.9%, respectively. This decrease period over period is due to changing state income tax exposure resulting from a change in the number and mix of states in which subsidiaries are subject to state income taxes due to various factors such as changes in multistate activities by members of the consolidated group and its impact on state taxation rules and regulations applicable to the Company.

Some data are also based on our good faith estimates, derived from our review of internal surveys and the independent sources listed above. Although we believe these sources are reliable, we have not independently verified the information.
OVERVIEW
Western Capital Resources, Inc. (“WCR”), a Delaware corporation originally incorporated in Minnesota in 2001 and reincorporated in Delaware in 2016, is a holding company having a controlling interest in subsidiaries operating in the following industries and operating segments:
Our Cellular Retail segment is comprised of an authorized Cricket Wireless dealer and involves the retail sale of cellular phones and accessories to consumers through our wholly-owned subsidiary PQH Wireless, Inc. and its controlled but less than 100% owned subsidiaries. Our Direct to Consumer segment consists of a wholly-owned branded online and direct marketing distribution retailer of live plants, seeds, holiday gifts and garden accessories selling its products under Park Seed, Jackson & Perkins and Wayside Gardens brand names and home improvement and restoration products operating as Van Dyke’s Restorers as well as a wholesaler under the Park Wholesale brand. Our manufacturing segment consists of a wholly-owned manufacturer of lawn and garden power equipment and emergency safety shelters selling products primarily under the Swisher brand name and provides turn-key manufacturing services to third parties. Our Consumer Finance segment consists of retail financial services conducted through our wholly-owned subsidiaries Wyoming Financial Lenders, Inc. and Express Pawn, Inc.
Throughout this report, we collectively refer to WCR and its consolidated subsidiaries as “we,” the “Company,” and “us.”
Acquisitions:
On March 11, 2022, our Cellular Retail segment entered into a series of definitive agreements to purchase 80% of Gateway Wireless, LLC, an operator of 56 Cricket Wireless locations in Missouri and several other states. We completed the transaction on May 9, 2022.
On January 14, 2022, the Company’s Direct to Consumer segment acquired From Seed to Spoon, a garden planning App that makes growing food easier. From Seed to Spoon is yet another tool in Park Seed’s tool shed designed to inspire, teach, and reach customers where they get information today – on their phones. From Seed to Spoon calculates planting dates based on GPS location taking the guesswork out of when to plant seeds. In addition to providing personalized planting dates, the App also includes companion planting guides, recipes, organic pest treatments, and beneficial insect guides. It even enables users to filter plants by health benefit. The App also provides an easy and direct path to purchasing seeds from our Park Seed business.
We expect segment operating results and earnings per share to change throughout 2022 and beyond due, at least in part, to the seasonality of the various segments, recently completed and potential merger and acquisition activity, the unknown impact of COVID-19, the effects of inflationary pressures, as well as supply and labor shortages.
Discussion of Critical Accounting Policies
Our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make a number of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We evaluate these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. We base these estimates on the information currently available to us and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could vary materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Our significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report together with our significant accounting policies discussed in Note 1, “Basis of Presentation, Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of the notes to our December 31, 20202021 consolidated financial statements included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.2021. We believe that the following critical accounting policies affect the more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Receivables and Credit Loss Allowance
Direct to Consumer -
Receivables are recorded when billed or accrued and represent claims against third parties that will be settled in cash. The carrying value of receivables is net of an allowance for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses represents an estimate of expected lifetime credit losses on the asset considering economic conditions and future economic trends. Past due receivable balances are written-off when internal collection efforts have been unsuccessful in collecting the amount due.
Consumer Finance -
Included in loans receivable areis $2.25 million of unpaid principal, interest and fee balances of payday installment and pawn loans that have not reached their maturity date,date. Payday loans by their nature are high risk loans and “late” payday loans that have reached maturity within the last 180 days and have remaining outstanding balances. Late payday loans generally are unpaid loans whererequire significant assumptions when determining a customer’s personal check has been deposited and the check has been returned due to non-sufficient funds in the customer’s account, a closed account, or other reasons. All returned items are charged-off after 180 days, as the present value of future collections after that date is not expected to be significant. Loans are carried at cost plus accrued interest or fees less payments made and an allowance for credit losses.
We do not specifically reserve for any individual payday or installment loan. Instead, we aggregate loan types for purposes of estimating the allowance for credit losses, using a methodology that estimates expected lifetimeincluding the default rate and the amount of subsequent collections on those defaulted loans. These two factors have remained relatively stable over the past two years and we therefore use historical rates to assist in determining anticipated future credit losses. In addition, we must consider future economic factors. Any significant downturn in the economy which is greater than our assumptions will increase the default rates and reduce subsequent collections on those defaulted loans. As of March 31, 2022, we have estimated credit losses from the $2.25 million loans receivable balance to be approximately $40,000.
Inventory
Direct to Consumer
Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market using the weighted-average method of determining cost. The Company periodically evaluates the value of items in inventory and provides write-downs to inventory based on its estimate of market conditions. Two subcategories of inventory, live plants and restoration products, are most susceptible to write-downs and the asset considering economic conditionsapplication of key assumptions.
Live plants have a limited life and future economic trends. In addition, this methodology takes into accountany unsold product is disposed of at the end of a selling season. Should the demand for product not meet expectations, larger write-downs may occur during interim periods until written off. Management will assess the need for write-downs based on inventory levels, the length of time remaining in the live-goods season, and current and expected collection patterns, recent trends noteddemand which could be impacted by many current market and economic factors as discussed in the portfolio and charge off patterns from loans that originated during the last 24 months, which assists management in estimating future recoveries. Credit lossesRisk Factors section of our Form 10-K for pawn loans are not recorded because the value of the collateral exceeds the loan amount.
See Note 5, “Loans Receivable,” of the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this report for our outstanding loans receivable aging as of and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020.
Valuation of Long-lived and Intangible Assets2021.
We assess the possibilityhave a significant number of impairment of long-lived assets, other than goodwill, whenever events or changeshome hardware products in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors that could trigger an impairment review include significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future cash flows, significant changes in the manner of use of acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business, and significant negative industry events or trends.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition cost over the fair value of identifiable finite lived net assets acquired and is not amortized. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually as of October 1, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate potential impairment. We test for goodwill impairment at the reporting unit level, which aligns with the Company’s segments. We perform a qualitative assessment to determine if a quantitative impairment test is necessary. If quantitative testing is necessary based on a qualitative assessment, we apply a fair value test. This fair value test involves a two-step process. The first step is to compare the carrying value of our net assets to our fair value. If the fair value is determined to be less than the carrying value, a second step is performed to measure the amount of the impairment, if any.
Leases
The Company has many retail lease agreements which are accounted for as operating leases. The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities (current and noncurrent).
ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, Management used the Company’s collateralized incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments.

Management evaluates the value of items in accounting for leases (including whetherinventory to estimate an allowance against carrying costs. This evaluation includes a contract contains a lease, the allocationlook-back of sales volume of the consideration,respective SKU over the prior twelve month period to estimate the allowance.
Manufacturing
Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market using the standard costing method of determining cost. The Company periodically evaluates the value of items in inventory and provides write-downs to inventory based on its estimate of market conditions. Key assumptions used are the future quantity to be sold, the future selling price of an item, and the determinationcost of raw materials, primarily steel. Unknown economic factors or supply factors could materially affect these assumptions. A sharp downturn in the discount rate),economy would negatively impact the judgmentfuture quantity sold. Dropping steel or other raw materials costs will negatively impact assumptions used for future sales prices and estimates madethe underlying cost under the lower of cost or market methodology. Future sales prices and the underlying cost under the lower of cost or market methodology could havealso be negatively impacted by an unforeseen introduction of comparable products, possibly from foreign sources or otherwise, at a significant effect on the amount of assets and liabilities recognizedlower price point.

Results of Operations – Three Months Ended March 31, 20212022 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 20202021
Net income attributable to our common shareholders for the current quarter was $4.18 million, or $0.46 per share (basic and diluted) for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to $3.91 million, or $0.42 per share (basic and diluted), for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, compared to net income of $1.71 million, or $0.18 per share (basic and diluted), for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.2021.
We expect segment operating results and earnings per share to change throughout 2021 due, at least in part, to the seasonality of the various segments, potential mergers and acquisitions activity and the unknown impact of COVID-19.

The increase in the store count above was primarily due to our September 9, 2021 acquisition of 25 Cricket Wireless retail stores.
Period over period, net income attributable to shareholders increaseddecreased from $1.18$1.75 million in the comparable prior year quarter to $1.75$1.63 million in the current quarter. Many factors have contributed to this period over period decrease. Most notable is a 2.9% increase in segment revenue period over period on a store count that increased 12%. We attribute the decline in same store revenue year over year primarily to consumers receiving both tax refunds and COVID-19 relief funds at approximately the same time in the prior year quarter, while the COVID-19 relief funds are significantly down in the comparable current year period. In addition inflationary pressures have negatively impacted many expenses, most notably successful Cricket sales promotions, Cricket’s 2020 distribution optimization program under which we closed 27 underperforming locations, our strategic location disposalssalaries, wages and additionsbenefits and COVID-19 stimulus programs contributing to increased sales.occupancy expenses.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance the objectives of the control system are met.
We utilize the Committee of Sponsoring Organization’s Internal Control – Integrated Framework, 2013 version, for the design, implementation, and assessment of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting.
As of March 31, 2021,2022, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an assessment of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. Based on this assessment, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of March 31, 2021.2022.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal period covered by this report that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, such controls.

Supply Chain - Fluctuations in the availability and price of inputs could have an adverse effect on our ability to manufacture and sell our products profitably and could adversely affect our margins and revenue.
Our manufacturing operations depend upon the adequate supply of steel, engines and other components and raw materials. Our direct to consumer operations depend upon an adequate supply of, among other things, seeds and live plants. Our inability to procure any of these production materials, components or finished goods, delays in receiving them or not being able to procure them at competitive prices, particularly during applicable peak seasons, could adversely impact our ability to produce our products and to sell our products on a cost effective basis which, in turn, could adversely affect our revenue and profitability.
Our results of operations may be negatively impacted by product liability lawsuits.
We are subject to potential product liability risks that relate to the design, manufacture, sale and use of our products. To date, we have not incurred material costs related to these product liability claims. While we believe our current general liability and product liability insurance is adequate to protect us from future product liability claims, there can be no assurance that our coverage will be adequate to cover all claims that may arise. Additionally, we may not be able to maintain insurance coverage in the future at an acceptable cost. Significant losses not covered by insurance or for which third-party indemnification is not available could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, it may be necessary for us to recall products that do not meet approved specifications, which could result in adverse publicity as well as costs connected to the recall and loss of revenue.
We could be subject to disparate state regulations governing the collection of state taxes and other matters.
Our manufacturing and direct to consumer businesses are subject to a variety of laws and regulations applicable to companies conducting business on the Internet. Jurisdictions vary as to how, or whether, existing laws governing areas such as personal privacy and data security, consumer protection or sales and other taxes, among other areas, apply to the Internet and e-commerce, and these laws are continually evolving. For example, certain applicable privacy laws and regulations require us to provide customers with our policies on sharing information with third parties, and advance notice of any changes to these policies. Related laws may govern the manner in which we store or transfer sensitive information or impose obligations on us in the event of a security breach or inadvertent disclosure of such information. Additionally, tax regulations in jurisdictions where we do not currently collect state or local taxes may subject us to the obligation to collect and remit such taxes, or to additional taxes, or to requirements intended to assist jurisdictions with their tax collection efforts. New legislation or regulation, the application of laws from jurisdictions whose laws do not currently apply to our businesses, or the application of existing laws and regulations to the Internet and e-commerce generally could result in significant additional taxes on our businesses. Further, we could be subject to fines or other payments for any past failures to comply with these requirements. The continued growth and demand for e-commerce is likely to result in more laws and regulations that impose additional compliance burdens on e-commerce companies.
