Such information, to the extent deemed or determined to have been not "filed" under applicable law, shall not be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing by us under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act", and together with the Exchange Act, the "Securities Laws"), except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
Forward Looking Statements
Statements contained in this Report and each attached Release, and any statements that may be made in such conference call, include "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, including (without limitation) any statements relating to anticipated, prospective or desired customers, acquisitions or markets, trends, updates, or other anticipated, estimated, expected or desired assets, business, capital, cash flow, credit, expenses, financial condition, income, liabilities, liquidity, locations, marketing, operations, prospects, sales, strategies, taxation or other achievement, results, risks or condition. You can identify forward-looking statements in such information by the Company's use of terms such as "may", "will", "expect", "intend", "believe", "estimate", "anticipate", "continue" or similar words or variations or negatives of those words. You should carefully consider all such information and the other risks and cautions noted in the Company's Annual and Quarterly Reports and other filings under applicable Securities Laws (including this report, each a "SEC Report", each of which is available on the Company's website at http://investors.sparinc.com) that could cause the Company's actual assets, business, capital, cash flow, credit, expenses, financial condition, income, liabilities, liquidity, locations, marketing, operations, prospects, sales, strategies, taxation or other achievement, results, risks or condition to differ materially from those anticipated by the Company and described in the information in the Company's forward-looking statements, whether express or implied, as the Company's anticipations are based upon the Company's plans, intentions and best estimates and (although the Company believe them to be reasonable) involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause them to fail to occur or be realized or to be materially and adversely different from those the Company anticipated.
- 2 -
Although the Company believe that its plans, intentions and estimates reflected or implied in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot assure you that such plans, intentions or estimates will be achieved in whole or in part, that the Company has identified all potential risks, or that the Company can successfully avoid or mitigate such risks in whole or in part. You should carefully review the risk factors described below (See Item 1A – Risk Factors) and any other cautionary statements contained or incorporated by reference in this Annual Report. All forward-looking and other statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are expressly subject to and qualified by all such risk factors and other cautionary statements.
You should not place undue reliance on the Company's forward-looking statements because the matters they describe are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other unpredictable factors, many of which are beyond its control. The Company's forward-looking statements are based on the information currently available to it and speak only as of the referenced date(s) or, in the case of forward-looking statements incorporated by reference, as of the date of the SEC Report that includes such statement. New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and it is impossible for the Company to predict these matters or how they may arise or affect the Company. Over time, the Company's actual assets, business, capital, cash flow, credit, expenses, financial condition, income, liabilities, liquidity, locations, marketing, operations, prospects, sales, strategies, taxation or other achievement, results, risks or condition will likely differ from those expressed or implied by the Company's forward-looking statements, and such difference could be significant and materially adverse to the Company and the value of your investment in the Company's Common Stock.
The Company does not intend or promise, and the Company expressly disclaims any obligation, to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, risk factors or other cautionary statements (in whole or in part), whether as a result of new information, future events or recognition or otherwise, except as and to the extent required by applicable law.

SPAR Group Announces Second Quarter and Year to Date Earnings per Share of $0.02 and $0.04, respectively
TARRYTOWN, NY-- SPAR Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: SGRP) (the "Company" or "SPAR Group"), a leading supplier of retail merchandising and other marketing services throughout the United States and internationally, today announced second quarter revenue of $15.9 million, net income of $509,000 and earnings of per share of $0.02. For the six month period ending June 30, 2011, the Company reported revenue of $32.4 million, net income of $762,000 and earnings per share of $0.04.
“Management is pleased with the Company’s strong 18% increase in earnings and operational success that we have achieved during our typically slower first half of the calendar year,” stated Gary Raymond, Chief Executive Officer of SPAR Group. “Our international division continues to improve its financial performance. We are pleased with our joint venture partnership re-alignments in the high growth markets of India with Krognos Integrated Marketing Services and in China with Shanghai Wedone Marketing Consulting and we are confident in management’s ability to close on several targeted profitable acquisition candidates with hopes of integrating them during this calendar year. Due to our traditionally more favorable seasonal performance in the latter half of the year, and encouraging merchandising activity, we believe that the second half of 2011 will bring improved financial results for the Company. We remain focused on increasing sales, expanding margins and improving overall profitability.”

Revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 totaled $15.9 million, an increase of 2% compared to $15.6 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2010. Domestic revenue for the second quarter of 2011 was $9.4 million compared to $9.9 million for the same period in 2010. The decrease in domestic revenue was mainly attributable to extraordinary project revenue realized in the second quarter of 2010. International revenue increased 15% to $6.6 million compared to $5.7 million during the same period 2010. The increase in international revenue was due to strong performances in the China and Australian markets.
Gross profit at $5.0 million for the second quarter of 2011, was down slightly when compared to $5.2 million the same period of 2010. Domestically, our gross profit margin was 31.3% for the second quarter 2011 compared to 34.4% in 2010. The decrease in gross profit margin was directly attributable to an unfavorable mix of syndicated and project work compared to last year. Internationally, our gross profit margin was 30.8% for the second quarter of 2011 compared to 31.6% for the same period in 2010. These changes are primarily due to the mix of business predominately in the China market.
Net income for the second quarter of 2011 was $509,000 or $0.02 per share compared to $612,000 or $0.03 per share for the same period of 2010.
Mr. Raymond continued, “While domestic sales were impacted during the second quarter of 2011, we are well positioned to capitalize on numerous opportunities within the expanding retail merchandising markets going forward. Therefore, we expect our U.S. operations to have improved financial results for the remainder of 2011, while our international business continues its impressive resurgence. A key to our future growth is the improvements we have made in our working capital position and current ratio. Having availability under our credit facilities allows SPAR to seek out the best growth opportunities to increase earnings without shareholder dilution. With continued guidance and support from our Board of Directors, SPAR Group’s Management will continue to opportunistically invest our capital for maximum financial gains.”
