(unaudited)

1.	Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Information

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2022 and the interim condensed consolidated statements of income, statements of comprehensive income (loss), and statements of equity for the three (3) and nine (9) months period ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, statements of cash flows for the nine (9) months period ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and the related disclosures, are unaudited. In management’s opinion, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and includes all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2022, its results of operations for the three (3) and nine (9) months period ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and its cash flows for the nine (9) months period ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The results for the nine (9) months period ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any other interim period.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the Company as contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the SEC on April 15, 2022, (the "Annual Report").

Novel Coronavirus (Covid-19) Outbreak

The COVID-19 pandemic had an effect on the Company’s joint venture operation in China in the second quarter of 2022 The lock-down ended in June of 2022 and the business has been back in operation in most cases; however, there is still restriction in certain areas impacting the third quarter financial results. In March of 2022, China implemented zero tolerance COVID-19 policy and locked down Shanghai Province and surrounding districts, and as a result, operations of the Company's joint venture in China were impacted for most of the second quarter and in the third quarter. In the third quarter of 2022, the joint venture in China generated a net loss attributable to SPAR Group inc. of $73,000 and $348,000 for the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, as compared to net income of $25,000 and $23,000 for the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. The net loss generated by the joint venture was largely due to a decrease in revenues of $276,000 or 7% and $2.3 million or 22% as a result of the lockdown for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, as compared to three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, while expenses continued to be incurred for wages, office rent and administrative expenses. Management continues to actively monitor the situation and assess operational and cashflow impact to determine course of actions.

Management believes that based upon the continuation of the Company's existing credit facilities, projected results of operations, vendor payment requirements and other financing available to the Company (including amounts due to affiliates), sources of cash availability should be manageable and sufficient to support ongoing operations over the next year. However, delays in collection of receivables due from any of the Company's major clients, or a significant reduction in business from such clients could have a material adverse effect on the Company's cash resources and its ongoing ability to fund operations.

On January 28, 2022, SGRP entered into the Change in Control, Voting and Restricted Stock Agreement ("CIC Agreement") with the Majority Stockholders. As part of execution of the CIC agreement, on January 25, 2022, the Corporation filed a Certificate of Elimination for its “Certificate of Designation of Series “A” Preferred Stock of SPAR Group, Inc.” (the “Certificate of Elimination”). Pursuant to the Certificate of Elimination, the Series "A" Preferred Stock was cancelled and withdrawn. As a result, all 3,000,000 shares of the previously authorized Series "A" Preferred Stock were returned to the Corporation’s authorized “blank check” preferred stock. There were no shares of Series "A" Preferred Stock outstanding at the time of the cancellation.

Subsequent to filing the Certificate of Elimination, on January 25, 2022, the Corporation filed a “Certificate of Designation of Series “B” Preferred Stock of SPAR Group, Inc.” (the “Preferred Designation”) with the Secretary of State of Delaware, which designation had been approved by the Board on January 25, 2022. The Preferred Designation created a series of 2,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock designated as “Series "B" Preferred Stock” with a par value of $.01 per share (the “Preferred Stock”). The Preferred Shares do not carry any voting or dividend rights and are convertible into the Common Stock on a 1 for 1.5 basis. As of September 30, 2022, 1,017,113 shares of Series "B" Preferred Stock remain outstanding. In May of 2022, although 700,000 shares were vested and convertible to Common Stock, only 632,887 shares were issued and converted to common stock, pending initiation of transactions by a Majority Stockholders as further discussed in Note 6.

8.	Long-Lived Assets, including Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The Company’s goodwill balance was $4.2 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Company is required to test goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently, whenever events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit with goodwill below its carrying amount. The Company annually tests goodwill impairment during the fourth quarter.

The Company’s long-lived intangible assets balance was $2.1 million as of September 30, 2022 and $2.3 million as of September 30, 2021. The Company is only required to test intangible assets whenever events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the assets below its carrying value.

The Company acquired Resource Plus in 2018 as a joint venture partnership and currently owns 51% of the Resource Plus business. As of September 30, 2022, the Company has recorded $2.0 million of goodwill and $1.2 million of intangible assets relating to brand and technology. In early 2021, Resource Plus lost a significant customer, Lowes Live Nursery Business. Resource Plus revenue was $15.3 million in 2021 comparing to $28.0 million in 2020, and net loss attributable to SPAR in 2021 was $116,000 comparing to net income attributable to SPAR of $679,000 in 2020. During the second and third quarters of 2022, Resource Plus did not meet original forecast and reduced forecasts for the remainder of 2022.

As a result of these circumstances, the Company concluded it was more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit was less than it's carrying amount, and performed an interim quantitative assessment. The quantitative assessment was performed utilizing the income approach. The analysis required the comparison of the Company’s carrying value with its fair value, with an impairment recorded for any excess of carrying value over the fair value. The discounted cash flow method was used to determine the fair value of the reporting unit under the income approach. The results of the quantitative analysis performed indicated the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the carrying value of the reporting unit as of September 30, 2022. As a result, the Company has determined goodwill impairment is not needed.

Fair value determinations require considerable judgment and are sensitive to changes in underlying assumptions, estimates, and market factors. Estimating the fair value of individual reporting units requires us to make assumptions and estimates regarding our future plans, as well as industry, economic, and regulatory conditions. These assumptions and estimates include estimated future annual net cash flows, income tax considerations, discount rates, growth rates, and other market factors. Our current expectations also include certain assumptions that could be negatively impacted if we are unable to meet our cost expectations in relation to inflation. If current expectations of future growth rates and margins are not met, if market factors outside of our control, such as discount rates, income tax rates, foreign currency exchange rates, inflation, or any factors that could be affected by COVID-19, change, or if management’s expectations or plans otherwise change, including updates to our long-term operating plans, then one or more of our reporting units might become impaired in the future

The Company also performed an interim quantitative assessment for the intangible assets. The Company evaluates the need to adjust the carrying value of the underlying assets if the sum of the expected cash flows is less than the carrying value. The Company’s projections of future cash flows, the level of actual cash flows, the methods of estimation used for determining fair values and salvage values can impact impairment. Based on the assessment, the Company concluded no impairment or write-down is required.

9.	Stock-Based Compensation and Other Plans

The Company recognized approximately $30,000 and $174,000 in stock-based compensation expense relating to stock option awards during the three (3) month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The tax benefit available from stock-based compensation expense related to stock option during both the three (3) months period ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was approximately $8,000 and $43,000 respectively.

Segment Information

The Company reports net revenues from operating income by reportable segment. Reportable segments are components of the Company for which separate financial information is available that is evaluated on a regular basis by the management in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

The Company continues to evaluate the global growth strategy. To better align with its global growth strategy, effective January 1, 2022, the Company began reporting in (3) regional segments as follows: Americas which is comprised of United States, Canada, Brazil and Mexico, Asia-Pacific (“APAC”) which is comprised of Japan, China, India and Australia, and Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”) which is comprised of South Africa. Certain corporate expenses have been assigned to segments based on each segment’s revenue as a percent of total company revenue.

The operations and performance metrics for each country remains unchanged; the accounting policies for each country also remains the same. Therefore the new segment reporting has no impact to the existing accounting policies and are the same as those described in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. Management evaluates performance as follows (in thousands):
