OPINION ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Where Food Comes From, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related consolidated statements of income, equity, and cash flows, for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

BASIS FOR OPINION

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

CRITICAL AUDIT MATTERS

The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Revenue Recognition – Refer to Note 2 to the financial statements

Critical Audit Matter Description

The Company recognizes revenue upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services. The Company offers customers the ability to acquire multiple licenses of software products and services, in its customer agreements through its service and licensing programs.

Significant judgment is exercised by the Company in determining revenue recognition for these customer agreements, and includes the following:

●Determination of whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together, such as software licenses and related services.
●The pattern of delivery (i.e., timing of when revenue is recognized) for each distinct performance obligation.
●Identification and treatment of contract terms that may impact the timing and amount of revenue recognized (e.g., length of time for services and cancellation terms).
●Determination of stand-alone selling prices for each distinct performance obligation and for products and services that are not sold separately.

Given these factors and due to the volume of transactions, the related audit effort in evaluating management’s judgments in determining revenue recognition for these customer agreements was extensive and required a high degree of auditor judgment.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Our principal audit procedures related to the Company’s revenue recognition for these customer agreements included the following:

●We evaluated management’s significant accounting policies related to these customer agreements for reasonableness.
●We selected a sample of customer agreements and performed the following procedures:
–Obtained and read contract source documents for each selection, including master agreements, and other documents that were part of the agreement.
–Tested management’s identification and treatment of contract terms.
–Assessed the terms in the customer agreement and evaluated the appropriateness of management’s application of their accounting policies, along with their use of estimates, in the determination of revenue recognition conclusions.
●We evaluated the reasonableness of management’s estimate of stand-alone selling prices for products and services that are not sold separately.
●We evaluated the appropriateness of certain accounts receivables and deferred revenue items based on the timing of the payment and the products and services provided.
●We tested the mathematical accuracy of management’s calculations of revenue and the associated timing of revenue recognized in the financial statements.

Inventory – Refer to Note 2 to the financial statements

Critical Audit Matter Description

The Company reports inventory at the lower of cost or market value, with the cost calculated using the first-in-first out (FIFO) method. Market value represents the estimated selling price.

Significant judgment is exercised by the Company in determining whether inventory is appropriately recorded at the lower of cost or market value, and includes the following:

●Determination of the current market value of the inventory.
●Determination of the feasibility of future sale of the inventory, including proper consideration of obsolescence.

Given these factors and due to the value of the inventory, the related audit effort in evaluating management’s judgments in determining the valuation of inventory which required a high degree of auditor judgment.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Our principal audit procedures related to the Company’s valuation of inventory included the following:

●We examined source documentation for the original costs of the inventory, evaluating the reasonableness of the historic cost and volume of units recorded by the Company.
●We evaluated the reasonableness of management’s intent for selling and distributing the inventory, including their current use in the livestock industry and associated partners and suppliers.
●We evaluated the reasonableness of current market values of the inventory in comparison to original cost.
