See accompanying notes. 5 SPAR GROUP INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of SPAR Group, Inc. , and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company" or the "SPAR Group") have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the financial statements. However, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the Company as contained in Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001, as filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on April 1, 2002. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the entire year. 2. SALE OF SPAR PERFORMANCE GROUP, INC. On June 30, 2002, SPAR Incentive Marketing, Inc. ("SIM"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement with Performance Holdings, Inc. ("PHI"), a Delaware corporation headquartered in Carrollton, Texas. SIM sold all of the stock of its subsidiary SPAR Performance Group, Inc. ("SPG") to PHI for $6.0 million. As a condition of the sale, PHI issued and contributed 1,000,000 shares of its common stock to Performance Holdings, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership Plan which became the only shareholder of PHI. The $6.0 million sales price was evidenced by two Term Loans, an Initial Term Loan totaling $2.5 million and an Additional Term Loan totaling $3.5 million (collectively the "Term Loans"). The Term Loans are guaranteed by SPG and secured by pledges of all the assets of PHI and SPG. The Term Loans bear interest at a rate of 12% per annum through December 31, 2003. On January 1, 2004 and on January 1 each year thereafter, the interest rate is adjusted to equal the higher of the median or mean of the High Yield Junk Bond interest rate as reported in the Wall Street Journal (or similar publication or service if the Wall Street Journal no longer reports such rate) on the last business day in the immediately preceding December. The Initial Term Loan is required to be repaid in quarterly installments that increase over the term of the loan, commencing March 31, 2003 with a balloon payment required at maturity on June 30, 2007. In addition to the preceding payments of the Initial Term Loan, PHI is required to make annual mandatory prepayments of the Term Loans on February 15th of each year, commencing on February 15, 2004 equal to: 6 SPAR GROUP, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) (continued) o 40% of the amount of Adjusted Cash Flow (as defined in the Revolver, which is defined below) for the immediately preceding fiscal year ended December 31; and o 35% of the amount of excess targeted Adjusted Cash Flow (as defined in the Revolver) for the immediately preceding fiscal year ended December 31. These payments will be applied first to accrued and unpaid interest on the Term Loans and Revolver (as defined below), then to the Additional Term Loan until repaid, and then to the Initial Term Loan. Because collection of the notes depends on the future operations of PHI, the $6.0 million notes were fully reserved pending collection. In addition to the Term Loans, SIM agreed to provide a discretionary revolving line of credit to SPG not to exceed $2.0 million (the "Revolver"). The Revolver is secured by a pledge of all the assets of SPG and is guaranteed by PHI. The Revolver provides for advances in excess of the borrowing base through September 30, 2003. Through September 30, 2003, the Revolver bears interest at the higher of the Term Loans interest rate or the prime commercial lending rate as announced in the Wall Street Journal plus 4.0% per annum. As of October 1, 2003, the Revolver will include a borrowing base calculation (principally 85% of eligible accounts receivable). Prior to September 1, 2003, SPG may request that SIM provide advances of up to $1,000,000 in excess of the borrowing base. If advances are limited to the borrowing base on and after October 1, 2003, the interest rate will be reduced to the higher of the Term Loans interest rate less 4.0% per annum or the prime commercial lending rate as announced in the Wall Street Journal plus 4.0% per annum. If SPG requests that advances be allowed in excess of the borrowing base, the interest rate will remain unchanged. On June 30, 2002, there was approximately $1.2 million outstanding under the Revolver. Due to the speculative nature of the loan SIM has established a reserve for collection of approximately $1.0 million at June 30, 2002. The net loan of approximately $0.2 million is included in Other Assets. 7 SPAR GROUP, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) (continued) 3. RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES In connection with the PIA Merger, the Company's Board of Directors approved a plan to restructure the operations of the PIA Companies. Restructuring costs are composed of committed costs required to integrate the SPAR Companies' and the PIA Companies' field organizations and the consolidation of administrative functions to achieve beneficial synergies and costs savings. The Company recognized termination costs in accordance with EITF 95-3, Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Business Combination. The following table displays a roll-forward of the liabilities for restructuring and other charges from December 31, 2001 to June 30, 2002 (in thousands):

All forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified by the cautionary statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or on the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001, as previously filed with the Security Exchange Commission on April 1, 2002.

OVERVIEW -------- The Company is a supplier of in-store merchandising and marketing services throughout the United States, Canada, and Japan. The Company also provides database marketing, teleservices, marketing research, and Internet-based software. The Company's operations are divided into three divisions: the Merchandising Services Division, the Technology Division and the International Division. MERCHANDISING SERVICES DIVISION The Company's Merchandising Services Division consists of (1) SPAR Marketing, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("SMI") (an intermediate holding company), SPAR Marketing Force, Inc. ("SMF"), SPAR Marketing, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("SMNEV"), SPAR/Burgoyne Retail Services, Inc. ("SBRS"), and SPAR, Inc. ("SINC") (collectively, the "SPAR Marketing Companies"), and (2) PIA Merchandising Co. Inc., Pacific Indoor Display d/b/a Retail Resources, Pivotal Sales Company and PIA Merchandising Ltd. (collectively, "PIA" or the "PIA Companies"). Merchandising services generally consist of special projects or regularly scheduled routed services provided at stores for a specific retailer or multiple manufacturers primarily under single or multi-year contracts. Services also include stand-alone large-scale implementations. These services may include sales 10 SPAR GROUP, INC. enhancing activities such as ensuring that client products authorized for distribution are in stock and on the shelf, adding new products that are approved for distribution but not presently on the shelf, setting category shelves in accordance with approved store schematics, ensuring shelf tags are in place, checking for the overall salability of client products and selling new and promotional items.

The Company also provides database marketing, teleservices and research services. TECHNOLOGY DIVISION The Company has developed and is utilizing several Internet-based software products. In addition, the Company has developed and, in the past, sold internet-based software through its other divisions. The Technology Division, SPAR Technology Group, Inc., was established to market these applications to businesses with multiple locations and large workforces or numerous distributors desiring to improve day-to-day efficiency and overall productivity.

The International Division, SPAR Group International, Inc., was established to cultivate foreign markets, modify the necessary systems and implement the Company's merchandising services business model worldwide with an initial focus on Japan and the Pacific Rim region. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES ---------------------------- The Company's critical accounting policies, including the assumptions, judgments and estimations, are disclosed in the form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001, as filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on April 2, 2002. Two of the more significant areas of estimation are unbilled receivables and the accounts receivable allowance for bad debt. Historically, the Company's estimates on such items have not differed materially from the actual results. 11 SPAR GROUP, INC. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS --------------------- THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following table sets forth selected financial data and data as a percentage of net revenues for the periods indicated.

Net revenues from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2002, were $17.5 million, compared to $16.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001, a 9.0% increase. The increase of 9.0% in net revenues is primarily attributed to increased business in mass merchandiser and drug store chains. 12 SPAR GROUP, INC. One customer accounted for 29.1% and 32.3% of the Company's net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2002, and 2001, respectively. This customer also accounted for approximately 38.1% and 15.1% of accounts receivable at June 30, 2002, and 2001, respectively. Approximately 19.9% and 24.6% of the Company's net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2002, and 2001, respectively, resulted from merchandising services performed for others at the stores of one retailer that recently filed for protection under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. While the Company's customers and the resultant contractual relationships are with the manufacturers and not this retailer, a significant reduction of this retailer's stores or cessation of this retailer's business would negatively impact the Company. Cost of revenues consists of in-store labor and field management wages, related benefits, travel and other direct labor-related expenses, of which approximately $8.4 million or 79.2% and $4.3 million or 43.4% were purchased from the Company's affiliates, SPAR Marketing Services, Inc. and SPAR Management Services, Inc. in the three months ended June 30, 2002, and 2001, respectively. Cost of revenues as a percentage of net revenues decreased 0.9% to 60.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2002, compared to 61.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2001. This decrease is principally attributable to cost improvements. Operating expenses include selling, general and administrative expenses as well as depreciation and amortization. Selling, general and administrative expenses include corporate overhead, project management, information technology, executive compensation, human resources expenses, legal and accounting expenses. The following table sets forth the operating expenses as a percentage of net revenues for the time periods indicated:
Three Months Ended --------------------------------------------------------------------- Incr. June 30, 2002 June 30, 2001 (Decr.) ----------------------- ------------------------- ---------- Amount % Amount % % ------ - ------ - - (amounts in millions) Selling, general and administrative $ 4.7 26.6% $ 4.2 26.2% 11.0% Depreciation and amortization 0.5 2.6 0.7 4.2 (32.3) ------- ----- ------ ----- Total Operating Expenses $ 5.2 29.2% $ 4.9 30.4% 5.0% ======= ===== ====== =====
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $0.5 million, or 11.0%, for the three months ended June 30, 2002, to $4.7 million compared to $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 due primarily to increased spending on information technology. The Company purchased $0.4 million of information technology from its affiliate SPAR Infotech, Inc. for the three months ended June 30, 2002. 13 SPAR GROUP, INC. Depreciation and amortization decreased by $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002, due primarily to the change in accounting rules for goodwill amortization adopted by the Company effective January 1, 2002. INTEREST EXPENSE Interest expense decreased $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002, due primarily to decreased interest rates in 2002. OTHER EXPENSE The Company recognized a loss of approximately $52,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002 for its share of the Japan joint venture loss. INCOME TAXES The income tax provision for the three months ended June 30, 2002 represents a combined federal and state income tax rate of 38% compared to 40% for the three months ended June 30, 2001. NET INCOME The Company had net income from continuing operations of $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 or $0.06 per basic and diluted share compared to income from continuing operations of $0.7 million or $0.04 per basic and diluted share for the corresponding period last year. For the three months ending June 30, 2001, the Company had net income of $0.3 million or $0.02 per basic and diluted share after reporting losses of $0.4 million or $0.02 per basic and diluted share from discontinued operations. 14 SPAR GROUP, INC.

Net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2002, were $33.6 million, compared to $31.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001, an 8.2% increase. The increase of 8.2% in net revenues is primarily attributed to increased business in mass merchandiser and drug store chains. One customer accounted for 28.6% and 26.4% of the Company's net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2002, and 2001, respectively. This customer also accounted for approximately 38.1% and 15.1% of accounts receivable at June 30, 2002, and 2001, respectively. 15 SPAR GROUP, INC. Approximately 19.5% and 23.4% of the Company's net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2002, and 2001, respectively, resulted from merchandising services performed for others at the stores of one retailer that recently filed for protection under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. While the Company's customers and the resultant contractual relationships are with the manufacturers and not this retailer, a significant reduction of this retailer's stores or cessation of this retailer's business would negatively impact the Company. Cost of revenues from continuing operations consists of in-store labor and field management wages, related benefits, travel and other direct labor-related expenses, of which approximately $14.7 million or 72.2% and $7.7 million or 41.6% were purchased from the Company's affiliates, SPAR Marketing Services, Inc. and SPAR Management Services, Inc. in the six months ended June 30, 2002, and 2001, respectively. Cost of revenues as a percentage of net revenues increased 0.6% to 60.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to 60.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2001. This increase is principally attributable to the mix of business. Operating expenses include selling, general and administrative expenses as well as depreciation and amortization. Selling, general and administrative expenses include corporate overhead, project management, information technology, executive compensation, human resources expenses, legal and accounting expenses. The following table sets forth the operating expenses as a percentage of net revenues for the time periods indicated:

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $0.6 million, or 7.3%, for the six months ended June 30, 2002, to $9.6 million compared to $9.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 due primarily to increased spending on information technology. The Company purchased $0.8 million in information technology from its affiliate SPAR Infotech, Inc. Depreciation and amortization decreased by $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, due primarily to the change in accounting rules for goodwill amortization adopted by the Company effective January 1, 2002. 16 SPAR GROUP, INC. INTEREST EXPENSE Interest expense decreased $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, due to decreased interest rates in 2002. OTHER EXPENSE The Company recognized a loss of approximately $134,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 for its share of the Japan joint venture loss. INCOME TAXES The income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2002 represents a combined federal and state income tax rate of 38% compared to 41.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2001. NET INCOME The Company had net income of $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 or $0.08 per basic and diluted share compared to net income of $1.0 million or $0.05 per basic and diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2001. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, net income included a $0.1 million loss or $0.01 per basic and diluted share from discontinued operations. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES For the six months ended June 30, 2002, the Company had a net income of $1.6 million. Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2002, was $2.6 million, compared with net cash provided by operations of $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. Cash provided by operating activities in 2002 was primarily a result of net operating profits and decreases in accounts receivable and increases in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, partially offset by decreases in restructuring charges and decrease in net liabilities from discontinued operations. Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2002, was $0.2 million, compared with net cash used of $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The net cash used in investing activities in 2002 and 2001 was primarily due to purchases of property and equipment. Net cash used by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2002, was $2.4 million, compared with net cash provided by financing activities of $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The net cash used by financing activities in 2002 was primarily a result of repayments of the line of credit, shareholder and other long-term debt. The above activity resulted in no change in cash and cash equivalents for the six months ended June 30, 2002. 17 SPAR GROUP, INC. At June 30, 2002, the Company had positive working capital of $13.1 million as compared to positive working capital of $8.5 million at June 30, 2001. The increase in working capital is due primarily to a decrease in net liabilities from discontinued operations offset by increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities. The Company's current ratio was 2.13 and 1.52 at June 30, 2002, and 2001, respectively. In 1999, IBJ Whitehall Business Credit Corporation ("IBJ Whitehall") and the members of the SPAR Group (other than PIA Canada) (collectively, the "Borrowers") entered into a Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement as amended (the "Bank Loan Agreement"). The Bank Loan Agreement provides the Borrowers with a $15.0 million Revolving Credit facility and a $2.5 million term loan. The Revolving Credit facility allows the Borrowers to borrow up to $15.0 million based upon a borrowing base formula as defined in the Agreement (principally 85% of "eligible" accounts receivable). The Bank Loan Agreement's revolving credit loans of $15.0 million were scheduled to mature on September 21, 2002. As of March 2, 2002, IBJ Whitehall extended the maturity date to July 31, 2003. The revolving loans bear interest at IBJ Whitehall's "Alternate Base Rate" plus one-half of one percent (0.50%) (a total of 5.25% per annum at June 30, 2002). The facility is secured with all the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Bank Loan Agreement contains an option for the Bank to purchase 16,667 shares of common stock of the Company for $0.01 per share in the event that the Company's average closing share price over a ten consecutive trading day period exceeds $15.00 per share. This option expires September 22, 2002. The Bank Loan Agreement contains certain financial covenants that must be met by the Borrowers on a consolidated basis, among which are a minimum "Net Worth", a "Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio", a minimum twelve month EBITDA requirement, and a minimum EBITDA, as such terms are defined in the Bank Loan Agreement. The Company was in compliance with such financial covenants on June 30, 2002. The balances outstanding on the revolving line of credit were $9.1 million and $11.3 million at June 30, 2002, and December 31, 2001, respectively. As of June 30, 2002, based upon the borrowing base formula, the SPAR Group had availability of $5.1 million of the $5.9 million unused revolving line of credit. As of June 30, 2002, the Company is obligated, under certain circumstances, to pay costs in connection with the Merger (restructure charges) of approximately $1.8 million. In addition, the Company incurred substantial cost in connection with the transaction, including legal, accounting and investment banking fees estimated to be an aggregate unpaid obligation as of June 30, 2002, of approximately $1.1 million. The Company has also accrued approximately $1.0 million for expenses incurred by PIA prior to the Merger, which have not been paid as of June 30, 2002. Management believes the current bank credit facilities are sufficient to fund operations and working capital, including the current maturities of debt obligations. 18 SPAR GROUP, INC. As of June 30, 2002, a total of $4.5 million in loans to certain principal stockholders of the Company remain outstanding, which bear an interest rate of 8% and are due on demand. During 2002, $0.2 million of such indebtedness has been repaid by the Company. The current Bank Loan Agreement contains certain restrictions on the repayment of stockholder debt and accordingly $2.0 million at both June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 is classified as long-term. Management believes that based upon the Company's current working capital position and the existing credit facilities, funding will be sufficient to support ongoing operations over the next twelve months. However, delays in collection of receivables due from any of the Company's major clients, or a significant reduction in business from such clients, or the inability to acquire new clients, would have a material adverse effect on the Company's cash resources and its ongoing ability to fund operations. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The Company is exposed to market risk related to the variable interest rate on the line of credit. The Company's accounting policies for financial instruments and disclosures relating to financial instruments require that the Company's consolidated balance sheets include the following financial instruments: cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and long term debt. The Company considers carrying amounts of current assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements to approximate the fair value for these financial instruments because of the relatively short period of time between origination of the instruments and their expected realization. The carrying amounts of long-term debt approximate fair value because the obligation bears interest at a floating rate. The Company monitors the risks associated with interest rates and financial instrument positions. The Company's investment policy objectives require the preservation and safety of the principal, and the maximization of the return on investment based upon the safety and liquidity objectives. Currently, the Company's revenue derived from international operations is not material and, therefore, the risk related to foreign currency exchange rates is not material. INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO The Company has no derivative financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments in its cash and cash equivalents and investments, as available cash is generally utilized to pay down the outstanding line of credit. 19 SPAR GROUP, INC.
