EXPLANATORY NOTE - PURPOSE OF AMENDMENT

SPAR Group, Inc. ("SGRP" or the "Corporation", and together with its subsidiaries, the "SPAR Group" or the "Company"), is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (this "First Amendment"), to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, originally filed with the SEC on March 15, 2011 (as amended by this First Amendment, SGRP’s "2010 Annual Report"), in order to (among other things):

·	Correct the name in the Exhibit List of the auditor (to Nitin Mittal & Co.) for the Company's subsidiary in India, SPAR Solutions Merchandising Private Limited (which changed its name in 2011 to SPAR KROGNOS Marketing Private Limited);

·	Correct the name in the Rehmann Robson Report (with its consent) of the Company's subsidiary in India, SPAR Solutions Merchandising Private Limited (which changed its name in 2011 to SPAR KROGNOS Marketing Private Limited);

·	File the corrected unqualified auditor's report from Nitin Mittal & Co. for the Company's subsidiary in India, SPAR Solutions Merchandising Private Limited (which changed its name in 2011 to SPAR KROGNOS Marketing Private Limited);

·	Correct the name in SGRP's List of Subsidiaries in Exhibit 21.1 of the Company's subsidiary in India, SPAR Solutions Merchandising Private Limited (which changed its name in 2011 to SPAR KROGNOS Marketing Private Limited); and

·	Reflect the resolution of comments from the SEC Staff (see below).

This First Amendment includes SGRP’s complete 2010 Annual Report, except that Items 10-14 of Part III remain unchanged and continue to be incorporated by reference from SGRP's Proxy Statement for its 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders as filed with the SEC on May 2, 2011.

All other items, sections and subsections remain unchanged since such Annual Report was filed on March 15, 2011.

This First Amendment reflects SGRP's resolution of comments raised in a letter on December 16, 2011, from the SEC's staff respecting their routine review of SGRP's 2010 Annual Report as originally filed. The SEC's staff noted (among other things) the change in accounting firms in India from 2009 to 2010 respecting the local audit of SGRP's India subsidiary, SPAR KROGNOS Marketing Private Limited (formerly known as SPAR Solutions Merchandising Private Limited and mistakenly referenced in the original SGRP 2010 Annual Report as SPAR Solutions India Private Limited). SGRP responded that the local auditor changed because of the change in the local India investor referenced in the 2010 Annual Report, and not because of any disagreement with the former local auditor, and that SGRP's Indian subsidiary was immaterial and insignificant (contributing less than 10% of both the Company’s consolidated assets and income from operations). SGRP believes that the corrections to its 2010 Annual Report noted above are sufficient.

Statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K (this “Annual Report”) of SPAR Group, Inc.

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 this Annual Report and the Company's other filings under applicable Securities Laws (including this report, each a "SEC Report") 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.

Although the Company believes 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 date on the cover of December 31, 2010, or other referenced date 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 achievements, 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.

Item 1. Business

THE COMPANY'S BUSINESS GENERALLY

SPAR Group, Inc., (“SGRP”), and its subsidiaries (together with SGRP, the “SPAR Group” or the “Company”), is a diversified international merchandising and marketing services company and provides a broad array of services worldwide to help companies improve their sales, operating efficiency and profits at retail locations. The Company provides its merchandising and other marketing services to manufacturers, distributors and retailers worldwide, primarily in mass merchandisers, office supply, grocery, drug store and other chains, and independent, convenience and electronics stores. The Company also provides furniture and other product assembly services in stores, homes and offices. The Company has supplied these project and product services in the United States since certain of its predecessors were formed in 1979 and internationally since the Company acquired its first international subsidiary in Japan in May of 2001. Today the Company currently operates in 9 countries that encompass approximately 47% of the total world population through operations in the United States, Canada, Japan, South Africa, India, Romania, China, Australia and New Zealand.

-3-

Merchandising services primarily consist of regularly scheduled, special project and other product services provided at the store level, and the Company may be engaged by either the retailer or the manufacturer. Those services may include restocking and adding new products, removing spoiled or outdated products, resetting categories "on the shelf" in accordance with client or store schematics, confirming and replacing shelf tags, setting new sale or promotional product displays and advertising, replenishing kiosks, providing in-store event staffing, and providing assembly services in stores, homes and offices. Other merchandising services include whole store or departmental product sets or resets, including new store openings, new product launches and in-store demonstrations, special seasonal or promotional merchandising, focused product support and product recalls. The Company continues to seek to expand its merchandising, assembly and marketing services business throughout the world.

An Overview of the Merchandising and Marketing Services Industry

According to industry estimates over two billion dollars is spent annually in the United States alone on retail merchandising and marketing services. The merchandising and marketing services industry includes manufacturers, retailers, food brokers, and professional service merchandising companies. The Company believes that merchandising and marketing services add value to retailers, manufacturers and other businesses and enhance sales by making a product more visible and more available to consumers. These services primarily involve placing orders, shelf maintenance, display placement, reconfiguring products on store shelves and replenishing product inventory.

Historically, retailers staffed their stores as needed to provide these services to ensure, that manufacturers’ inventory levels, the advantageous display of new items on shelves, and the maintenance of shelf schematics and product placement were properly merchandised. However retailers, in an effort to improve their margins, decreased their own store personnel and increased their reliance on manufacturers to perform such services. Initially, manufacturers attempted to satisfy the need for merchandising and marketing services in retail stores by utilizing their own sales representatives. Additionally, retailers also used their own employees to merchandise their stores to satisfy their own merchandising needs. However, both the manufacturers and the retailers discovered that using their own sales representatives and employees for this purpose was expensive and inefficient.

Manufacturers and retailers have been, and SPAR Group believes they will continue, outsourcing their merchandising and marketing service needs to third parties capable of operating at a lower cost by (among other things) serving multiple manufacturers simultaneously. The Company also believes that it is well positioned, as a domestic and international merchandising and marketing services company, to more effectively provide these services to retailers, manufacturers and other businesses around the world.

Another significant trend impacting the merchandising and marketing services business is the tendency of consumers to make product purchase decisions once inside the store. Accordingly, merchandising and marketing services and in-store product promotions have proliferated and diversified. Retailers are continually re-merchandising and re-modeling entire stores in an effort to respond to new product developments and changes in consumer preferences. We estimate that these activities have increased in frequency over the last five years. Both retailers and manufacturers are seeking third parties to help them meet the increased demand for these labor-intensive services.

In addition, the consolidation of many retailers has created opportunities for third party merchandisers when an acquired retailer's stores are converted to the look and format of the acquiring retailer. In many cases, stores are completely remodeled and re-merchandised after a consolidation.

SPAR Group believes the current trend in business toward globalization fits well with its expansion model. As companies expand into foreign markets they will need assistance in merchandising or marketing their products. As evidenced in the United States, retailer and manufacturer sponsored merchandising and marketing programs are both expensive and inefficient. The Company also believes that the difficulties encountered by these programs are only exacerbated by the logistics of operating in foreign markets. This environment has created an opportunity for the Company to exploit its Internet, hand-held and smart phone based technology and business model worldwide.

The Company's Domestic and International Geographic Divisions:

In order to cultivate foreign markets and expand the Company's merchandising and marketing services business outside of the United States, modify the necessary systems and implement its business model worldwide, and insure a consistent approach to its merchandising and marketing efforts worldwide, and even though it operates in a single business segment (merchandising and marketing services), the Company has divided its world focus into two geographic areas, the United States, which is the sales territory for its Domestic Merchandising Services Division, and international (i.e., all locations outside the United States), which are the sales territories for its International Merchandising Services Division. To that end, the Company also (1) provides and requires all of its locations to use its Internet based operating,

-4-

scheduling, tracking and reporting systems (including language translations, ongoing client and financial reports and ongoing IT support), (2) provides and requires all of its locations to comply with the Company's financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, (3) provides accounting and auditing support and tracks and reports certain financial and other information separately for those two divisions, and (4) has management teams in its corporate offices responsible for supporting and monitoring the management, sales, marketing and operations of each of the Company's international subsidiaries and maintaining consistency with the Company's other subsidiaries worldwide.

Each of these divisions provides merchandising and other marketing services primarily on behalf of consumer product manufacturers and retailers at mass merchandisers, drug store chains, convenience and grocery stores in their respective territories. SPAR Group Inc.’s clients include the makers and distributors of home entertainment, general merchandise, health and beauty care, consumer goods and food products in their respective territories.

SPAR Group has provided merchandising and other marketing services in the United States since the formation of its predecessor in 1979 and outside the United States since it acquired its first international subsidiary in Japan in May of 2001. Today the Company currently conducts its business through its domestic and international divisions in 9 territories around the world (listed in the table below) that encompass approximately 47% of the total world population.

The Company's international business in each territory outside the United States is conducted through a foreign subsidiary incorporated in its primary territory. The primary territory (together with each additional territory in which it conducts its business), establishment date (which may include predecessors), the percentage of the Company's equity ownership, and the principal office location for its US (domestic) subsidiaries and each of its foreign (international) subsidiaries is as follows:

Primary Territory (+ additional Territory)	Date Established	SGRP Percentage Ownership		Principal Office Location
United States of America	1979		100%	Tarrytown, New York United States of America
Japan	May 2001		100%	Osaka, Japan
Canada	June 2003		100%	Toronto, Canada
Turkey	July 2003		51%*	Istanbul, Turkey
South Africa	April 2004		51%	Durban, South Africa
India	April 2004		100%**	New Delhi, India
Lithuania	September 2005		51%***	Siauliai, Lithuania
Australia (+ New Zealand)	April 2006		51%	Melbourne, Australia
Romania	July 2009		51%****	Bucharest, Romania
China	March 2010		51%*****	Shanghai, China

*	Currently not in operation while the Company explores a change in this subsidiary's market focus.
**	As of September 30, 2010, the Company owned 100% of this subsidiary.

***	The Company closed this subsidiary's operations in Fourth Quarter 2010.
****	Currently the Company owns two subsidiaries in Romania. One Subsidiary is 100% owned and the second subsidiary, acquired in July 2009, is 51% owned.

*****

Currently the Company owns two subsidiaries in China. One Subsidiary is 100% owned and the second subsidiary, acquired in March 2010 and operational in August 2010, is 51% owned.

One key to the Company’s international expansion strategy is its internally developed capability to translate all of its current and future proprietary Internet-based logistical, communications, scheduling, tracking and reporting software applications into any language for any market in which it operates or would like to enter. Through the Company’s IT operations currently located in the facilities in Auburn Hills, Michigan, it provides worldwide access to the Company’s proprietary logistical, communications, scheduling, tracking and reporting software to its entire operations worldwide on a 24/7/365 basis.

Another key to the Company’s international strategy is its policy of seeking a material investor in a new subsidiary in an international location who is an experienced person or company in the local country who is not otherwise affiliated with the Company (each a "Local Investor"). The Company generally seeks to own at least 51% of a foreign subsidiary. As of the date of this Annual Report, the Company owns 100% of the equity of its international subsidiaries in Canada, India and Japan, and one of its two international subsidiaries in each of China and Romania. The

-5-

Company is actively seeking another Local Investor in India. A Local Investor provides equity, credit support and certain services to each international subsidiary not wholly owned by the Company, as well as the useful local attention, perspective and relationships of an equity owner with a strong financial stake in such subsidiary's success. The Company provides executive management and support to each foreign subsidiary as well its operational backbone (and the Company's procedures and controls) through its proprietary Internet-based logistical, communications, scheduling, tracking, reporting and accounting programs. (See Item 1A, Risks of Having Material Local Investors in International Subsidiaries, page 18, below.)

Financial Information about the Company’s Domestic and International Geographic Divisions

The Company operates in the same single business segment (e.g., merchandising and marketing services) in both its domestic and international divisions, and the Company tracks and reports certain financial information separately for each of those divisions, as described above. The Company measures the performance of its domestic and international divisions and subsidiaries using the same metrics. The primary measurement utilized by management is operating profit level, historically the key indicator of long-term growth and profitability, as the Company is focused on reinvesting the operating profits of each of its international subsidiaries back into its local markets in an effort to improve its market share and continued expansion efforts. Certain financial information regarding each of the Company's two geographic divisions, which includes their respective net revenues and operating income for each of the years ended December 31, 2010, and December 31, 2009, and their respective long-lived assets as of December 31, 2010, and December 31, 2009, is provided in Note 12 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements – Geographic Data, below.

The Company's Business Strategies

As the marketing services industry continues to expand both in the United States and internationally, large retailers and manufacturers are outsourcing their merchandising and marketing service needs to third-party providers. The Company believes that offering marketing services on a national and global basis will provide it with a competitive advantage. Moreover, the Company believes that successful use of and continuous improvements to a sophisticated technology infrastructure, including the Company's proprietary Internet-based software, is key to providing clients with a high level of client service while maintaining efficient, low cost operations. The Company’s objective is to become an international retail merchandising and marketing service provider by pursuing its operating and growth strategy, as described below.

Increasing the Company's Sales Efforts:

The Company is seeking to increase revenues by increasing sales to its current clients, as well as establishing long-term relationships with new clients, many of which currently use other merchandising companies for various reasons. The Company believes its technology, field implementation and other competitive advantages will allow it to capture a larger share of this market over time. However, there can be no assurance that any increased sales will be achieved.

Developing New Products:

The Company is seeking to increase revenues through the internal development and implementation of new products and services that add value to its clients’ retail merchandising related activities, some of which have been identified and are currently being tested for feasibility and market acceptance. However, there can be no assurance that any new products of value will be developed or that any such new product can be successfully marketed.

Strategic Acquisitions:

The Company is seeking to acquire businesses or enter into joint ventures or other arrangements with companies that offer similar merchandising or marketing services both in the United States and worldwide. The Company believes that increasing its industry expertise, adding product segments, and increasing its geographic breadth will allow it to service its clients more efficiently and cost effectively. Through such acquisitions, the Company may realize additional operating and revenue synergies and may leverage existing relationships with manufacturers, retailers and other businesses to create cross-selling opportunities. However, there can be no assurance that any of the acquisitions will occur or whether, if completed, the integration of the acquired businesses will be successful or the anticipated efficiencies and cross-selling opportunities will occur.

On December 4, 2009, the Company acquired substantially all of the domestic merchandising service business and customer contracts and hired certain employees of Brenner Associates Inc., which also did business as National Marketing Services or "NMS". The NMS assets acquired included all of the stock of its wholly owned subsidiaries; National Assembly Services, Inc. ("NAS"), a New Jersey corporation that performs furniture assembly services in stores,

-6-

homes and offices, and NMS Retail Services ULC (“NRS”), a Nova Scotia unlimited Liability Company that performs merchandising services in Canada. See Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements – Acquisitions.

In March 2010, the Company established a new Canadian subsidiary, SPAR Wings & Ink Company ("SWI"). On April 1, 2010, SWI acquired substantially all of the business, customer contracts, receivables, work-in progress and other assets and assumed certain specified liabilities of 2078281 Ontario Limited, an Ontario merchandising and marketing services company doing business as Wings & Ink (the "Seller"). At that closing, SWI also hired substantially all of the Seller’s employees, which included consulting contracts to the principals of the Seller. See Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements – Acquisitions.

Leveraging and Improving on the Company's Technological Strengths:

The Company believes that providing merchandising and marketing services in a timely, accurate and efficient manner, as well as delivering timely, accurate and useful reports to its clients, are key components that are and will continue to be critical to the Company’s success. The Company has developed Internet-based logistic deployment, communications, scheduling, tracking and reporting systems that improve the productivity of its merchandising specialists and assembly technicians, and provide timely data to its clients. The Company’s merchandising specialists and assembly technicians use hand-held, laptop and personal computers and Interactive Voice Response (“IVR”) technology to report the status of each store or client product they service. Merchandising specialists and technicians report on a variety of issues such as store conditions, status of client products (e.g. out of stocks, inventory, display placement) or they may scan and process new orders for certain products.

The Company has developed a proprietary automated labor tracking system for its merchandising specialists and assembly technicians to communicate work assignment completion information via the Internet or other telecommunication infrastructure by using, among other things, hand held, laptop and personal computers, cellular telephones, landlines or IVRs. This tracking system enables the Company to report hours and other completion information for each work assignment on a daily basis and provides the Company with daily, detailed tracking of work completion. This information is analyzed and displayed in a variety of reports that can be accessed by both the Company and its clients via a secure website. These reports can depict the status of merchandising projects in real time. This tracking technology also allows the Company to schedule its merchandising specialists and technicians more efficiently, quickly quantify the benefits of its services to clients, rapidly respond to clients’ needs and rapidly implement programs.

The Company intends to continue to utilize computer (including hand-held computers), Internet, cellular telephone and other technologies to enhance its efficiency and ability to provide real-time data to its clients, as well as, maximize the speed of communication, and logistical deployment of its merchandising specialists and assembly technicians. Industry sources indicate that clients are increasingly relying on merchandising and marketing service providers to supply rapid, value-added information regarding the results of merchandising and marketing expenditures on sales and profits. The Company (together with certain of its affiliates) has developed and owns proprietary Internet-based, hand-held and smart phone software technology that allows it to utilize the Internet to communicate with its field management, schedule its store-specific field operations more efficiently, receive information and incorporate the data immediately, quantify the benefits of its services to clients faster, respond to clients’ needs quickly and implement client programs rapidly. The Company has successfully modified and is currently utilizing certain of its software applications in the operation of its international subsidiaries.

The Company believes that it can continue to improve, modify and adapt its technology to support merchandising and other marketing services for additional clients and projects in the United States and in foreign markets. The Company also believes that its proprietary Internet-based, wireless and other software technology gives it a competitive advantage in the marketplace.

Improving the Company's Operating Efficiencies:

The Company will continue to seek greater operating efficiencies. The Company believes that its existing field force and technology infrastructure can support additional clients and revenue in both its Domestic Merchandising Services Division and International Merchandising Services Division.

Descriptions Of The Company's Services

The Company currently provides a broad array of merchandising and marketing services to some of the world’s leading companies, both domestically and internationally. The Company believes its full-line capabilities provide fully integrated solutions that distinguish the Company from its competitors. These capabilities include the ability to develop plans at one centralized location, effect chain wide execution, implement rapid, coordinated responses to its clients’ needs and report on a real time Internet enhanced basis throughout the world. The Company also believes its

-7-

international presence, industry-leading technology, centralized decision-making ability, local follow-through, ability to recruit, train and supervise merchandisers, ability to perform large-scale initiatives on short notice, and strong retailer relationships provide the Company with a significant advantage over local, regional or other competitors.

The Company’s operations are currently divided into two divisions: the Domestic Merchandising Services Division and the International Merchandising Services Division. The Company's domestic division provides merchandising and marketing services, furniture and other product assembly services, RFID services, technology services and marketing research to manufacturers, distributors and retailers in the United States. Those services are primarily performed in mass merchandisers, office supply, grocery, drug store and other chains, and independent, convenience and electronics stores. The Company's international division, established in May 2001, currently provides similar merchandising, marketing services and in-store event staffing through subsidiaries in Japan, Canada, South Africa, India, Romania, China, Australia and New Zealand. Today the Company operates in 9 countries that encompass approximately 47% of the total world population.

The Company currently provides five principal types of merchandising and marketing services: syndicated services, dedicated services, project services, assembly services and in-store event staffing services.

Syndicated Services:

Syndicated services consist of regularly scheduled, routed merchandising and marketing services provided at the retail store level for various manufacturers and distributors. These services are performed for multiple manufacturers and distributors, including, in some cases, manufacturers and distributors whose products are in the same product category. Syndicated services may include activities such as:

	•	Reordering and replenishment of products
	•	Ensuring that the Company's clients' products authorized for distribution are in stock and on the shelf or sales floor
	•	Adding new products that are approved for distribution but not yet present on the shelf or sales floor
	•	Designing and implementing store planogram schematics
	•	Setting product category shelves in accordance with approved store schematics
	•	Ensuring that product shelf tags are in place
	•	Checking for overall salability of the clients' products
	•	Placing new product and promotional items in prominent positions
	•	Kiosk replenishment and maintenance

Dedicated Services:

Dedicated services consist of merchandising and marketing services, generally as described above, which are performed for a specific retailer or manufacturer by a dedicated organization, including a management team working exclusively for that retailer or manufacturer. These services include many of the above activities detailed in syndicated services, as well as, new store set-ups, store remodels and fixture installations. These services are primarily based on agreed-upon rates and fixed management fees.

Project Services:

Project services consist primarily of specific in-store services initiated by retailers and manufacturers, such as new store openings, new product launches, special seasonal or promotional merchandising, focused product support, product recalls, in-store product demonstrations and in-store product sampling. The Company also performs other project services, such as kiosk product replenishment, inventory control, new store sets and existing store resets, re-merchandising, remodels and category implementations, under annual or stand-alone project contracts or agreements.

Assembly Services:

The Company's assembly services are initiated by retailers, manufacturers or consumers, and upon request the Company assembles furniture, grills, fitness equipment and many other products in stores, homes and offices. The Company performs ongoing routed coverage at retail locations to ensure that furniture and other product lines are well displayed and maintained, and building any new items or replacement items, as required. In addition, the Company provides in-home and in-office assembly to customers who purchase their product from retailers, whether in store, on line or through catalog sales.

In-Store Event Staffing Services:

The Company provides in-store product samplings and in-store product demonstrations to national chains in target markets worldwide. The Company has also developed additional product offerings in an effort to expand this aspect of its business.

Other Marketing Services:

Other marketing services performed by the Company include:

	Test Market Research - Testing promotion alternatives, new products and advertising campaigns, as well as packaging, pricing, and location changes, at the store level.
	Mystery Shopping - Calling anonymously on retail outlets (e.g. stores, restaurants, banks) to check on distribution or display of a brand and to evaluate products, service of personnel, conditions of store, etc.

The Company's Sales and Marketing

The Company offers global merchandising solutions to clients that have worldwide distribution. This effort is spearheaded out of the Company's headquarters in the United States, and the Company continues to develop local markets through its domestic and international subsidiaries throughout the world.

The Company’s marketing and sales efforts within its Domestic Merchandising Services Division are structured to develop new national, regional and local business within the United States, including new sales and customers through the Company's acquisitions of existing businesses. The Company’s domestic corporate business development team directs its efforts toward the senior management of prospective and existing clients. Marketing and sales targets and strategies are developed at the Company’s headquarters and communicated to the Company’s domestic sales force for execution. The Company's sales force is located nationwide and works from both the Company's offices and their home offices. In addition, the Company’s domestic corporate account executives play an important role in the Company’s new business development efforts within its existing manufacturer, distributor and retailer client base.

The Company's marketing and sales efforts within its International Merchandising Services Division are structured to develop new national, regional and local businesses in both new and existing international territories by acquiring existing businesses (or establishing new joint ventures) and within the Company's existing international territories through targeted sales efforts. The Company has an international acquisition team whose primary focus is to seek out and develop acquisitions throughout the world and consists of personnel located in the United States, Greece and Australia and other support from the Company's information technology, field operation, client services and finance specialists. Marketing and sales targets and strategies are developed within an international subsidiary, in consultation with the Company's U.S. headquarters, with assistance from the applicable Local Investor, and are communicated to the Company's applicable international sales force for execution. The Company's international sales force for a particular territory is located throughout that territory and work from the Company's office in that territory and their home offices. In addition, the Company's international corporate account executives play an important role in the Company's new business development efforts within the Company's existing manufacturer, distributor and retailer client base within their respective territories.

As part of the retailer consolidation, retailers are centralizing most administrative functions, including operations, procurement and category management. In response to this centralization and the growing importance of large retailers, many manufacturers have reorganized their selling organizations around a retailer team concept that focuses on a particular retailer. The Company has responded to this emerging trend and currently has on-site personnel in place at select retailers.

The Company’s business development process includes a due diligence period to determine the objectives of the prospective or existing client, the work required to satisfy those objectives and the market value of such work to be performed. The Company employs a formal cost development and proposal process that determines the cost of each element of work required to achieve such client’s objectives. The Company uses these costs, together with an analysis of market rates, to develop a formal quotation that is then reviewed at various levels within the organization. The pricing of this internal proposal must meet the Company’s objectives for profitability, which are established as part of the business

-9-

planning process. After the Company approves this quotation, a detailed proposal is presented to the Company's prospective or existing client. However, the Company has agreed, and in the future may agree, from time to time to perform services for a client that become or turn out to be unprofitable even though the Company expected to make a profit when agreeing to perform them. See "Risks of Unprofitable Services" and "Variability of Operating Results and Uncertainty in Client Revenue" in Part 1A – Risk Factors, below.

The Company'S Customer Base

The Company currently represents numerous manufacturers and/or retail clients in a wide range of retail chains and stores worldwide, and its customers (which it refers to as clients) include:

	•	Mass Merchandisers
	•	Drug
	•	Grocery
	•	Office Supply
	•	Other retail outlets (such as discount and electronic stores, in-home and in-office, etc.)

One customer accounted for 10% of the Company's net revenues for the years ended December 31, 2010, and 2009, resulting from merchandising services performed for a large pharmaceutical distributor. This customer accounted for approximately 5% and 6% of the Company's accounts receivable at December 31, 2010, and 2009, respectively.

In addition, approximately 10% and less than 1% of the Company’s net revenue for the years ended December 31, 2010, and 2009, respectively, resulting from merchandising and assembly services performed for a major office supply chain and for manufacturers within this chain. These customers accounted for approximately 3% and less than 1% of the Company’s accounts receivable at December 31, 2010, and 2009, respectively.

Approximately 7% and 6% of the Company’s net revenues for the years ended December 31, 2010, and 2009, respectively, resulted from merchandising services performed for manufacturers and others in stores operated by a leading mass merchandising chain in the United States. This customer accounted for approximately 4% and 9% of the Company’s accounts receivable at December 31, 2010, and 2009, respectively.

In 2010, the Company performed merchandising and marketing services for manufacturers and others in a national drug store chain. These services accounted for approximately 6% of the Company’s net revenues for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010. Effective March 1, 2011, the Company will no longer be providing these merchandising and marketing services in this national drug store chain.

The Company's Competition

The marketing services industry is highly competitive. The Company’s competition in the Domestic Merchandising Services Division and International Merchandising Services Divisions arises from a number of large enterprises, many of which are national or international in scope. The Company also competes with a large number of relatively small enterprises with specific client, channel or geographic coverage, as well as with the internal marketing and merchandising operations of its existing and prospective clients. The Company believes that the principal competitive factors within its industry include development and deployment of technology, breadth and quality of client services, cost, and the ability to execute specific client priorities rapidly and consistently over a wide geographic area. The Company believes that its current structure favorably addresses these factors and establishes it as a leader in the mass merchandiser, electronics and chain drug store channels of trade. The Company also believes it has the ability to execute major national and international in-store initiatives and develop and administer national and international retailer programs. Finally, the Company believes that, through the use and continuing improvement of its proprietary Internet software, other technological efficiencies and various cost controls, the Company will remain competitive in its pricing and services.

The Company's Trademarks

The Company has numerous registered trademarks. Although the Company believes its trademarks may have value, the Company believes its services are sold primarily based on breadth and quality of service, cost, and the ability to execute specific client priorities rapidly, efficiently and consistently over a wide geographic area. (See “An Overview of the Merchandising and Marketing Services Industry” and “Competition”, above).

The Company's Employees

Worldwide the Company utilized a labor force of approximately 10,000 people in 2010. Today the Company operates in 9 countries that encompass approximately 47% of the total world population.

During 2010, the Company’s Domestic Merchandising Services Division utilized a labor force of approximately 7,500 people. As of December 31, 2010 there were 76 full-time employees and 42 part-time employees engaged in domestic operations. The Company’s Domestic Merchandising Services Division utilized the services of its affiliate, SPAR Management Services, Inc. (“SMSI”), to schedule and supervise its field force of merchandising specialists and assembly technicians, which consists of field merchandising specialist furnished by SPAR Marketing Services, Inc. (“SMS”), another affiliate of the Company, as well as the Company’s domestic field employees. (See Item 13 – Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence, below) and (Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements – Related Party Transactions) SMS and SMSI furnished approximately 7,300 merchandising specialists and assembly technicians (all of whom are independent contractors of SMS) and 54 field managers (all of whom were full-time employees of SMSI), respectively

As of December 31, 2010, the Company’s International Merchandising Services Division’s labor force consisted of approximately 2,500 people. There were 227 full-time and 34 part-time employees engaged in international operations. The International Merchandising Services Division’s field force consisted of approximately 2,200 merchandising specialists.

To support the International Merchandising Services Division, the Company utilizes employees of its Domestic Merchandising Services Division as well as the employees of its affiliates, SMSI and SMS. However, dedicated employees will be added to the International Merchandising Services Division as the need arises. In 2009, the Company’s affiliate, SPAR InfoTech, Inc. (“SIT”), also provided programming and other assistance to the Company’s various divisions. In 2010 these services are now provided directly by the Company (See Item 13 – Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence, below).

The Company, SMS, SMSI and SIT consider their relations with their respective employees and field merchandising specialist to be good.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There are various risks associated with investing in any common stock issued by SGRP ("SGRP Common Stock") that are more fully described below. You should carefully consider each of those risk factors before you purchase or trade any SGRP Common Stock. If any of the described risks develops into actual events, or any other risks arise and develop into actual events, the Company's present or future 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 could be materially and adversely affected (in whole or in part), the market price of the SGRP Common Stock could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment in your SGRP Common Stock.

The Company has described the risk factors that it currently consider material based on its best estimates respecting those risk factors, the Company's current and future assets, business, capital, cash flow, credit, expenses, financial condition, income, liabilities, liquidity, locations, marketing, operations, prospects, sales, strategies, taxation or other achievement, results or condition, the likelihood of those risks developing into actual events and the likely impact of those events on them, which all involve and include "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of applicable Securities Law (as discussed above). The Company also may be facing additional risks individually, and the Company's industry or the economy may be facing additional risks, whether domestically or internationally, that are currently unknown to the Company, that are more material or otherwise different than the Company currently believes, or that the Company may have incorrectly analyzed (whether as to the nature or likelihood of such risks or their potential effect). There also may be risks that you (as a potential investor or trader) would recognize or consider more likely or material than the Company does.

Any of the risk factors or other cautionary statements described in this Annual Report or any other SEC Report, or any other event or circumstance bearing risk or harm, could at any time arise, become applicable, change or worsen (as the case may be) and materially and adversely effect the Company or any of its 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.

-11-

Accordingly, the Company's risk factors and forward-looking statements each involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, potential errors and misjudgments and other factors that could materially and adversely affect, and could contribute to the Company's failure to achieve or realize, in whole or in part, the Company's estimated 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, whether as expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

The Company does not intend or promise, and the Company expressly disclaims any obligation, to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, any of those risk factors or any 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.

Dependence on Largest Customer and Large Retail Chains

As discussed above in “Customer Base”, the Company has a significant amount of business with certain customers. The loss of any of these customers, the loss of the ability to provide merchandising and marketing services in those chains, or the failure to attract new large clients could significantly decrease the Company’s revenues and such decreased revenues could have a material adverse effect on the Company or its estimated 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 or condition.

Dependence on Trend Towards Outsourcing

The business and growth of the Company depends in large part on the continued trend toward outsourcing of merchandising and marketing services, which the Company believes has resulted from the consolidation of retailers and manufacturers, as well as the desire to seek outsourcing specialists and reduce fixed operation expenses. There can be no assurance that this trend in outsourcing will continue, as companies may elect to perform such services internally. A significant change in the direction of this trend generally, or a trend in the retail, manufacturing or business services industry not to use, or to reduce the use of, outsourced marketing services such as those provided by the Company, could significantly decrease the Company’s revenues and such decreased revenues could have a material adverse effect on the Company or its estimated 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 or condition.

Failure to Successfully Compete

The merchandising and marketing services industry is highly competitive and the Company has competitors that are larger (or part of larger holding companies) and may be better financed. In addition, the Company competes with: (i) a large number of relatively small enterprises with specific client, channel or geographic coverage; (ii) the internal merchandising and marketing operations of its existing and prospective clients; (iii) independent brokers; and (iv) smaller regional providers. Remaining competitive in the highly competitive merchandising and marketing services industry requires that the Company monitor and respond to trends in all industry sectors. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to anticipate and respond successfully to such trends in a timely manner. If the Company is unable to successfully compete, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company or its estimated 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 or condition.

If certain competitors were to combine into integrated merchandising and marketing services companies, or additional merchandising and marketing service companies were to enter into this market, or existing participants in this industry were to become more competitive, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company or its estimated 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 or condition.

Risks of Continuing Losses and Financial Covenant Violations

The Company was profitable in both 2010 and in 2009 (See Item 8 – Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, below). The Company also was profitable in 2008 but suffered losses in 2007. The Company's 2007 losses and related effects caused repeated violations of certain covenants in the Company's old domestic credit facility during 2007, 2008 and 2009, which its old lender periodically waived for fees rather than permanently reset to realistically achievable levels. However, the Company changed its domestic lenders in 2010 and entered into a new credit facility with financial covenants that the Company believe are more realistic and thus less likely to require waivers. The Company was in compliance of all its bank covenants in 2010. See Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Liquidity and Capital Resources, below.

-12-

There can be no assurances that in the future the Company will be profitable, will not violate covenants of its current or future Credit Facilities, its lenders would waive any violations of such covenants, the Company will continue to have adequate lines of credit, or will continue to have sufficient availability under its lines of credit. Accordingly, continued losses or marginal profitability by the Company, as well as any failure to maintain sufficient availability or lines of credit from the Company’s lenders, could have a material adverse effect on the Company or its estimated 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 or condition.

Variability of Operating Results and Uncertainty in Client Revenue

The Company has experienced and, in the future, may experience fluctuations in quarterly operating results. Factors that may cause the Company’s quarterly operating results to vary from time to time and may result in reduced revenue and profits include: (i) the number of active client projects; (ii) seasonality of client products; (iii) client delays, changes and cancellations in projects; (iv) the timing requirements of client projects; (v) the completion of major client projects; (vi) the timing of new engagements; (vii) the timing of personnel cost increases; and (viii) the loss of major clients. In addition, the Company is subject to revenue or profit uncertainties resulting from factors such as unprofitable client work (see below) and the failure of clients to pay. The Company attempts to mitigate these risks by dealing primarily with large credit-worthy clients, by entering into written or oral agreements with its clients and by using project budgeting systems. These revenue fluctuations could materially and adversely affect the Company or its estimated 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 or condition.

Risks of Unprofitable Services

The Company has agreed, and in the future may agree, from time to time to perform services for its client that become or turn out to be unprofitable even though the Company expected to make a profit when agreeing to perform them. The Company's services for a particular client or project may be or become unprofitable due to mistakes or changes in circumstance, including (without limitation) any (i) mistake or omission made in investigating, evaluating or understanding any relevant circumstance, requirement or request of the Company's client or any aspect of the prospective services or their inherent problems, (ii) mistake made in pricing, planning or performing the prospective service, (iii) service non-performance, mis-performance or free re-performance, or (iv) change in cost, personnel, regulation or other performance circumstance. Unprofitable services could reduce the Company's net revenues and, if material in gross amount or degree of unprofitability, could materially and adversely affect the Company or its actual, expected, estimated 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 or condition.

Failure to Develop New Products

A key element of the Company’s growth strategy is the development and sale of new products. While several new products are under current development, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully develop and market new products. The Company’s inability or failure to devise useful merchandising or marketing products or to complete the development or implementation of a particular product for use on a large scale, or the failure of such products to achieve market acceptance, could adversely affect the Company’s ability to achieve a significant part of its growth strategy and the absence of such growth could have a material adverse effect on the Company or its estimated 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 or condition and could limit the Company’s ability to significantly increase its revenues and profits.

Inability to Identify, Acquire and Successfully Integrate Acquisitions

Another key component of the Company’s growth strategy is the acquisition of businesses across the United States and worldwide that offer similar merchandising or marketing services. The successful implementation of this strategy depends upon the Company’s ability to identify suitable acquisition candidates, acquire such businesses on acceptable terms, finance the acquisition and integrate their operations successfully with those of the Company. There can be no assurance that such candidates will be available or, if such candidates are available, that the price will be attractive or that the Company will be able to identify, acquire, finance or integrate such businesses successfully. In addition, in pursuing such acquisition opportunities, the Company may compete with other entities with similar growth strategies, these competitors may be larger and have greater financial and other resources than the Company. Competition for these acquisition targets could also result in increased prices of acquisition targets and/or a diminished pool of companies available for acquisition.

The successful integration of these acquisitions also may involve a number of additional risks, including: (i) the inability to retain the clients of the acquired business; (ii) the lingering effects of poor client relations or service

-13-

performance by the acquired business, which also may taint the Company’s existing businesses; (iii) the inability to retain the desirable management, key personnel and other employees of the acquired business; (iv) the inability to fully realize the desired efficiencies and economies of scale; (v) the inability to establish, implement or police the Company’s existing standards, controls, procedures and policies on the acquired business; (vi) diversion of management attention; and (vii) exposure to client, employee and other legal claims for activities of the acquired business prior to acquisition. In addition, any acquired business could perform significantly worse than expected.

The inability to identify, acquire, finance and successfully integrate such merchandising or marketing services business could have a material adverse effect on the Company or its estimated 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 or condition.

Uncertainty of Financing for, and Dilution Resulting from, Future Acquisitions

The timing, size and success of acquisition efforts and any associated capital commitments cannot be readily predicted. Future acquisitions may be financed by issuing shares of the SGRP Common Stock, cash, or a combination of Common Stock and cash. If the SGRP Common Stock does not maintain a sufficient market value, or if potential acquisition candidates are otherwise unwilling to accept the SGRP Common Stock as part of the consideration for the sale of their businesses, the Company may be required to obtain additional capital through debt or equity financings. To the extent the SGRP Common Stock is used for all or a portion of the consideration to be paid for future acquisitions, dilution may be experienced by existing stockholders. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain the additional financing it may need for its acquisitions on terms that the Company deems acceptable. Failure to obtain such capital would materially and adversely affect the Company or its estimated 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 or condition.

Reliance on the Internet and Third Party Vendors

The Company relies on the Internet for the scheduling, tracking, coordination and reporting of its merchandising and marketing services. The Internet has experienced, and is expected to continue to experience, significant growth in the numbers of users and amount of traffic as well as increased attacks by hackers and other saboteurs. To the extent that the Internet continues to experience increased numbers of users, frequency of use or increased bandwidth requirements of users, there can be no assurance that the Internet infrastructure will continue to be able to support the demands placed on the Internet by this continued growth or that the performance or reliability of the Internet will not be adversely affected. Furthermore, the Internet has experienced a variety of outages and other delays as a result of accidental and intentional damage to portions of its infrastructure, and could face such outages and delays in the future of similar or greater effect. The Company relies on third-party vendors to provide its Internet access and other services used in its business, and the Company has no control over such third-party providers. Any protracted disruption or material slowdown in Internet or other services could increase the Company’s costs of operation and reduce efficiency and performance, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company or its estimated 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 or condition.

Economic and Retail Uncertainty

The markets in which the Company operates are cyclical and subject to the effects of economic downturns. The current political, social and economic conditions, including the impact of terrorism on consumer and business behavior, make it difficult for the Company, its vendors and its clients to accurately forecast and plan future business activities. Substantially all of the Company’s key clients are either retailers or those seeking to do product merchandising at retailers. Should the retail industry experience a significant economic downturn, the resultant reduction in product sales could significantly decrease the Company’s revenues. The Company also has risks associated with its clients changing their business plans and/or reducing their marketing budgets in response to economic conditions, which could also significantly decrease the Company’s revenues. Such revenue decreases could have a material adverse effect on the Company or its estimated 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 or condition.

Risks Associated with Furniture and Other Related Assembly Services

The Company's technicians assemble furniture and other products in the homes and offices of customers. Working at a customer's home or office could give rise to claims against the Company for errors, omissions or misconduct by those technicians, including (without limitation) harassment, personal injury, death, damage to or theft of customer property, or other civil or criminal misconduct by such technicians. Claims also could be made against the

-14-

Company as a result of its involvement in such assembly services due to (among other things) product assembly errors and omissions, product defects, deficiencies, breakdowns or collapse, products that are not merchantable or fit for their particular purpose, products that do not conform to published specifications or satisfy customer expectations, or products that cause personal injury, death or property damage, in each case whether actual, alleged or perceived by customers, and irrespective of how much time may have passed since such assembly. If such claims are asserted and adversely determined against the Company, then to the extent such claims are not covered by indemnification from the product's seller or manufacturer or by insurance, they could have a material adverse effect on the Company or its estimated 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 or condition.

Dependence Upon and Potential Conflicts in Services Provided by Affiliates

The success of the Company’s domestic business is dependent upon the successful execution of its field services by SPAR Marketing Services, Inc. (“SMS”), and SPAR Management Services, Inc. (“SMSI”), each of which is an affiliate, but not a subsidiary, of the Company, and none of which is consolidated in the Company’s financial statements. SMS provides substantially all of the merchandising specialists used by the Company in conducting its domestic business (86% of domestic field expense in 2010), and SMSI provides substantially all of the domestic field management services (94% of domestic field management in 2010) used by the Company in conducting its business (See Item 13 – Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence), and (See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements – Related Party Transactions). These services provided to the Company by SMS and SMSI are on a cost-plus basis pursuant to contracts that are cancelable on 60 days notice prior to December 31 of each year or with 180 days notice at any other time (See Item 13 – Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence, below), and (See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements – Related Party Transactions). The Company has determined that the services provided by SMS and SMSI are at rates that are slightly favorable to the Company.

SMS and SMSI (collectively, the “SPAR Affiliates”) are owned solely by Mr. Robert G. Brown, founder, director, Chairman of the Company, and Mr. William H. Bartels, founder, director, and Vice Chairman of the Company, each of whom are also directors and executive officers of each of the SPAR Affiliates (See Item 13 – Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence, below), and (Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements – Related Party Transactions). In the event of any dispute in the business relationships between the Company and one or more of the SPAR Affiliates, it is possible that Messrs. Brown and Bartels may have one or more conflicts of interest with respect to those relationships and could cause one or more of the SPAR Affiliates to renegotiate or cancel their contracts with the Company or otherwise act in a way that is not in the Company’s best interests.

While the Company’s relationships with SMS and SMSI are excellent, there can be no assurance that the Company could (if necessary under the circumstances) replace the field merchandising specialists and management currently provided by SMS and SMSI, respectively, in sufficient time to perform its client obligations or at such favorable rates in the event the SPAR Affiliates no longer performed those services. Any cancellation, other nonperformance or material pricing increase under those affiliate contracts could have a material adverse effect on the Company or its estimated 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 or condition.

Risks of Common Stock Ownership

Dividends on SGRP Common Stock are discretionary, have never been paid, are subject to restrictions in the Company's credit facilities and applicable law and can only be paid to the holders of SGRP Common Stock if the accrued and unpaid dividends and potential dividends are first paid to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock. In the event of the Company's liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up, the holders of Common Stock are only entitled to share in the Company's assets, if any, that remain after the Company make payment of and provision for all of the Company's debts and liabilities and the liquidation preferences of all of the Company's outstanding Preferred Stock. There can be no assurance that sufficient funds will remain in any such case for dividends or distributions to the holders of SGRP Common Stock.

Risks related to the Company's Preferred Stock

The Company's ability to issue or redeem Preferred Stock, or any rights to purchase such shares, could discourage an unsolicited acquisition proposal. For example, the Company could impede a business combination by issuing a series of preferred stock containing class voting rights that would enable the holders of such preferred stock to block a business combination transaction. Alternatively, the Company could facilitate a business combination transaction by issuing a series of preferred stock having sufficient voting rights to provide a required percentage vote of

-15-

the stockholders. Additionally, under certain circumstances, the Company's issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power of the holders of the Company's common stock. Although the Company's board of directors is required to make any determination to issue any preferred stock based on its judgment as to the best interests of the Company's stockholders, the Company's board of directors could act in a manner that would discourage an acquisition attempt or other transaction that some, or a majority, of the Company's stockholders may believe to be in their best interests or in which stockholders may receive a premium for their stock over prevailing market prices of such stock. The Company's board of directors does not at present intend to seek stockholder approval prior to any issuance of currently authorized stock, unless otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange requirements.

Risks of Illiquidity in SGRP Common Stock

The market price of the Company's common stock has historically experienced and may continue to experience significant volatility. During the year ended December 31, 2010, the sale price of SGRP Common Stock fluctuated from $0.42 to $1.10 per share. The Company believes that its Common Stock is subject to wide price fluctuations due to (among other things) the following:

the relatively small public float and corresponding thin trading market for SGRP Common Stock, attributable to (among other things) the large block of voting shares beneficially owned by the Company's co-founders (as noted below) and generally low trading volumes, and that thin trading market may cause small trades to have significant impacts on SGRP Common Stock price;

the substantial beneficial ownership of approximately 62.4% of the Company's voting stock and potential control by the Company's co-founders (who also are directors and executive officers of the Company), Mr. Robert G. Brown, who beneficially owns approximately 36.4% (or 7,678,289 shares) of SGRP Common Stock, and Mr. William H. Bartels, who beneficially owns approximately 26.1% (or 5,490,505 shares) of SGRP Stock, which amounts were calculated using total beneficial ownership (21,101,161 shares) and their individual beneficial ownerships at March 11, 2011 (including all shares then beneficially owned under currently exercisable warrants and vested options), as more fully described above and below;

·	the periodic potential risk of the delisting of SGRP Common Stock from trading on Nasdaq (as described below);

any announcement, estimate or disclosure by the Company, or any projection or other claim or pronouncement by any of the Company's competitors or any financial analyst, commentator, blogger or other person, respecting (i) any new product created, product improvement, significant contract, business acquisition or relationship, or other publicized development by the Company or any of its competitors, or (ii) any change, fluctuation or other development in the Company's actual, estimated 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 or condition or in those of any of the Company's competitors, in each case irrespective of accuracy or validity and whether or not adverse or material; and

·	the general volatility of stock markets, consumer and investor confidence and the economy generally (which often affect the prices of stock issued by the Company and many others without regard to financial results or condition).

If the Company issues (other than at fair market value for cash) or the Company's co-founders sell a large number of shares of SGRP Common Stock, or if the market perceives such an issuance or sale is likely or imminent, the market price of SGRP Common Stock could decline and that decline could be significant.

In addition, the volatility in the market price of SGRP Common Stock could lead to class action securities litigation that (however unjustified) could in turn impose substantial costs on the Company, divert management’s attention and resources and harm the Company's stock price, business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.

The Company is endeavoring to increase its public float and reduce such volatility by the sale of up to 3,000,000 shares of SGRP Common Stock by the Company and certain selling stockholders to the public pursuant to (among other things) a registration statement on Form S-3 that is being amended and will soon be resubmitted to the SEC for additional and potentially final review.

Risks Related to the Company's Significant Stockholders: Potential Voting Control and Conflicts

The Company's co-founders, Mr. Robert G. Brown and Mr. William H. Bartels are directors, executive officers (Chairman and Vice-Chairman, respectively) and significant stockholders of the Company, and also are selling stockholders under the 2011 S-3 Registration Statement (see "SGRP Common Stock Offering and S-3 Registration Statement" on page 22, below). Mr. Brown beneficially owns approximately 36.4%, Mr. Bartels beneficially owns approximately 26.1%, and they own approximately 62.4% in the aggregate of the SGRP Common Stock, which amounts were calculated using total beneficial ownership (21,101,161 shares) and their individual beneficial ownerships (7,678,289 shares and 5,490,505 shares, respectively) at March 11, 2011, which ownerships included all shares beneficially owned under currently exercisable warrants and vested options. Although the Company expects those percentages to decrease through sales of SGRP Common Stock by the Company and the Selling Stockholders pursuant to the 2011 S-3 Registration Statement (See "SGRP Common Stock Offering and S-3 Registration Statement" on page 22, below), after all such sales, Mr. Brown will beneficially own at least 7,178,289 shares (or 31.0%), Mr. Bartels will beneficially own at least 4,990,505 shares (or 21.6%), and Mr. Brown and Mr. Bartels will beneficially own in aggregate at least 12,168,794 shares (or 52.6%) of the SGRP Common Stock then beneficially owned on a pro forma basis (assuming no other changes). Mr. Brown and Mr. Bartels have, should they choose to act together, and under certain circumstances Mr. Brown acting alone may have, the ability to control the election of directors, the approval of mergers and all other matters that must or may be approved by the Company's stockholders. In any event, Mr. Brown and Mr. Bartels continue to have significant influence over the Company's business and operations and the outcome of the Company's corporate actions, including those involving stockholder approvals. The interests of any significant stockholder may be different from time to time from, and potentially in conflict with, the interests of other stockholders, and ownership concentration could delay or prevent a change in the Company's control or otherwise discourage the Company's potential acquisition by another person, any of which could cause the market price of the SGRP Common Stock to decline and that decline could be significant.

Risks of Dilution

The Company may issue and the selling stockholders may sell SGRP Common Stock at varying prices under the pending 2011 S-3 Registration Statement once it becomes effective (see "SGRP Common Stock Offering and S-3 Registration Statement" on page 22, below). The Company will try to maximize the net proceeds it receives in each sale, and it hopes to sell the SGRP Common Stock for more than the Company's net book value per share (and thus avoid diluting the existing equity of its existing stockholders by its sales of newly issued SGRP Common Stock), but there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to do so. The Selling Stockholders are reselling shares of Common Stock that are already issued and outstanding, and those sales cannot dilute or otherwise affect the existing equity of the Company's existing stockholders. The Company also will issue Common Stock at $0.40 per share under the repriced stock options described above, as and when exercised, and the Company may issue additional options to directors, officers, employees and consultants in the future at per-share exercise prices below the price you pay. In addition, the Company may issue shares of SGRP Common Stock in the future in furtherance of the Company's acquisitions or development of businesses or assets. Each of those and other issuances of SGRP Common Stock could have a dilutive effect on the value of your shares, depending on the price the Company are paid (or the value of the assets or business acquired) for such shares, market conditions at the time and other factors.

Risks of a Nasdaq Delisting:

The SGRP Common Stock is currently trading, has recently traded and could continue to trade for less than $1.00 per share, which is below Nasdaq's minimum trading price for continued listing on the Nasdaq stock market. On two separate occasions during the last two years (September 2009 and April 2010), the Company received notices from Nasdaq advising that the Company failed to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share for shares of SGRP Common Stock for the prior 30 consecutive business days as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (known as the "Bid Price Rule"), and that the Company had a 180 day grace period in which to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule by maintaining a closing bid price of $1.00 per share for the SGRP Common Stock for a minimum of ten consecutive business days. In each case such compliance was achieved within the applicable grace periods, and the Company received notice from Nasdaq (in December 2009 and September 2010, respectively) that the Company had regained compliance with the Bid Price Rule and that such matter was closed.

There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to comply with the Bid Price Rule during such grace period or be able to comply in the future with Nasdaq's continued listing requirements. If the Company continues to be in non-compliance after such six month grace period ends, Nasdaq may commence delisting procedures against the Company (during which the Company will have additional time of up to six months to appeal and correct its non-compliance). If the SGRP Common Stock shares were ultimately delisted by Nasdaq, the market liquidity of the SGRP Common Stock could be adversely affected and its market price could decrease, even though such shares may continue to be traded "over the counter", due to (among other things) the potential for increased spreads between bids and asks, lower trading volumes and reporting delays in over-the-counter trades and the negative implications and perceptions that could arise from such a delisting.

Risks Associated with International Subsidiaries

While the Company endeavors to limit its exposure for claims and losses in any international subsidiary through contractual provisions, insurance and use of single purpose entities for such ventures, there can be no assurance that the Company will not be held liable for the claims against and losses of a particular international subsidiary under applicable local law or local interpretation of any subsidiary agreements or insurance provisions. If any such claims and losses should occur, be material in amount and be successfully asserted against the Company, such claims and losses could

-17-

have a material adverse effect on the Company or its estimated 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 or condition.

Risks of Having Material Local Investors in International Subsidiaries

The Company’s international model is to join forces with local investors having merchandising service expertise and combine their knowledge of the local market with the Company’s proprietary software and expertise in the merchandising business. As a result, each of the Company's international subsidiaries (other than Canada, Japan and China) that is owned in material part by an entity in the local country where the international subsidiary resides and that is not otherwise affiliated with the Company (each a "Local Stockholder"). The joint venture agreements between the Company and the Local Stockholder in the respective international subsidiaries specify, among other things, the equity, programming and support services the Company is required to provide and the equity, credit support, certain services and management support that the Local Stockholder is required to provide to the international subsidiary. In the event of any disagreement or other dispute in the business relationships between the Company and Local Stockholder, it is possible that the Local Stockholder may have one or more conflicts of interest with respect to the relationship and could cause the applicable international subsidiary to operate or otherwise act in a way that is not in the Company’s best interests.

The joint venture agreements generally have unlimited contract terms and parties generally do not have the right to unilaterally withdraw. However, a non-defaulting party has the right to terminate such agreement upon the other party's default, receipt of notice and failure to cure within a specified period (generally 60 days). In addition, either party, at any time after the end of a specified period (usually between three and five years), may: (1) sell all or part of its equity interest in the international subsidiary to a third party by providing a written notice to the other party of such intentions (in which case the other party has the right of first refusal and may purchase the equity of the offering party under the same terms and conditions) (a "Right of First Refusal"); or (2) offer to purchase the equity of the other party (in which case the other party has 120 days to either accept or reject the offer or to reverse the transaction and actually purchase the offering party’s equity under the same terms and conditions) (a "Buy/Sell Right").

The Company believes its relationships with the Local Stockholders in its international subsidiaries remain good. Several of the company’s respective international subsidiary contracts are either at or near the end of the applicable periods during which either of the parties may trigger the Right of First Refusal and Buy/Sell provisions described above. Both the Company and such Local Stockholders, as part of their ongoing relationship, are or will be assessing appropriate action as described above.

There can be no assurance that the Company could (if necessary under the circumstances) replace equity, credit support, management and other services currently provided by any Local Stockholder in sufficient time to perform its client obligations or that the Company could provide these services and or equity in the event the Local Stockholder was to sell its stock or reduce any support to the Company’s subsidiary in the applicable country. Any cancellation, other nonperformance or material change under the joint venture agreements with Local Stockholders could have a material adverse effect on the Company or its estimated 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 or condition.

Risks Associated with Foreign Currency

The Company also has foreign currency exposure associated with its international subsidiaries. In 2010, these exposures are primarily concentrated in the Canadian Dollar, South African Rand, Japanese Yen, and Australian Dollar.

Risks Associated with International Business

The Company’s expansion strategy includes expansion into various countries around the world. While the Company endeavors to limit its exposure by entering only countries where the political, social and economic environments are conducive to doing business, there can be no assurances that the respective business environments will remain favorable. In the future, the Company’s international operations and sales may be affected by the following risks, which may adversely affect United States companies doing business in foreign countries:

	•	Political and economic risks, including political instability;
	•	Various forms of protectionist trade legislation that currently exist, or have been proposed;
	•	Expenses associated with customizing products;
	•	Local laws and business practices that favor local competition;
	•	Dependence on local vendors;

-18-

	•	Multiple, conflicting and changing governmental laws and regulations;
	•	Potentially adverse tax consequences;
	•	Local accounting principles, practices and procedures and limited familiarity with US GAAP;
	•	Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations;
	•	Communication barriers, including those arising from language, culture, custom and times zones; and
	•	Supervisory challenges arising from distance, physical absences and such communication barriers.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

None.

Item 2. Properties

The Company does not own any real property. The Company leases certain office space and storage facilities for its corporate headquarters, divisions and subsidiaries under various operating leases, which expire at various dates during the next five years. These leases generally require the Company to pay rents at or below market rates, subject to periodic adjustments, plus other charges, including utilities, real estate taxes and common area maintenance. The Company believes that its relationships with its landlords generally to be good. However, as these leased facilities generally are used for offices and storage, the Company believes that other leased spaces could be readily found and utilized on similar terms should the need arise.

The Company maintains its corporate headquarters in approximately 5,600 square feet of leased office space located in Tarrytown, New York, under an operating lease with a term expiring October 31, 2013, and maintains its data processing center and warehouse at its regional office in Auburn Hills, Michigan, under an operating lease expiring October 31, 2015. The Company believes that its existing facilities are adequate for its current business. However, new facilities may be added should the need arise in the future.

The following is a list of the headquarter locations for the Company and its international subsidiaries:

DOMESTIC:
Tarrytown, NY (Corporate Headquarters)
Auburn Hills, MI (Regional Office, Warehouse and Central Computer Operations)

INTERNATIONAL:
Toronto, Ontario, Canada	Tokyo, Japan	Bucharest, Romania
Durban, South Africa	New Delhi, India	Melbourne, Australia
	Shanghai, China

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

Longstanding litigation with Safeway Inc. ("Safeway") concluded in August 2010. On October 24, 2001, Safeway filed a complaint against PIA Merchandising Co., Inc. ("PIA Co."), a wholly-owned subsidiary of SPAR Group, Inc. ("SGRP"), Pivotal Sales Company ("Pivotal"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of PIA Co., and SGRP in Alameda County (California) Superior Court, case no. 2001028498. Safeway’s claims, as subsequently amended, alleged causes of action for breach of contract and breach of implied contract. PIA Co. and Pivotal filed cross-claims against Safeway, including causes of action for breach of contract and interference with economic relationships. The case proceeded to trial by jury. On May 26, 2006, the jury returned a verdict that awarded certain damages on different claims to PIA Co. and Pivotal and awarded certain damages to Safeway, resulting in a net award of $1,307,700 to Pivotal. Judgment was entered in favor of Pivotal and against Safeway on August 14, 2006, for $1,307,700. A subsequent order awarded Pivotal certain court costs totaling $33,725.

Thereafter, both sides filed appeals. On May 27, 2010, the California Court of Appeal issued a decision affirming the judgment in full. All appellate proceedings concluded on July 28, 2010. On August 2, 2010, Safeway tendered, and the Company accepted, payment of $1,888,000 in full payment of the judgment.

In addition to the above, the Company is a party to various other legal actions and administrative proceedings arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of Company’s management, disposition of these other matters are not anticipated to have a material adverse effect on the Company or its estimated 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 or condition.

PART II

Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Shareholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

The Company's Capital Stock Generally:

SGRP's certificate of incorporation authorizes it to issue 47,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.01 per share (the "SGRP Common Stock"), which all have the same voting, dividend and liquidation rights. SGRP Common Stock is traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market ("Nasdaq") under the symbol "SGRP". On March 11, 2011: the SGRP Common Stock closing price was $1.95 per share; there were 19,923,292 shares of SGRP Common Stock issued and outstanding in the aggregate, which had an aggregate market value of $38,850,419; there were 21,101,161 shares of SGRP Common Stock beneficially owned in the aggregate, which beneficial ownership included all shares then beneficially owned under currently exercisable warrants and vested options; there were 15,216,001 shares (or approximately 72%) of SGRP Common Stock beneficially owned by the officers, directors and affiliates of SGRP in the aggregate, which affiliated ownership included shares then beneficially owned under currently exercisable warrants and vested options and had an aggregate market value of $29,671,202; and there were 5,885,161 shares (or approximately 28%) of SGRP Common Stock beneficially owned by non-affiliates of the Company in the aggregate (i.e., SGRP's public float), which float included shares then beneficially owned under currently exercisable warrants and vested options and had an aggregate market value of $11,476,063. See “Item 12 – Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters”, below.

SGRP's certificate of incorporation also authorizes it to issue 3,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.01 per share (the "SGRP Preferred Stock"), which may have such preferences and priorities over the SGRP Common Stock and other rights, powers and privileges as the Company's Board of Directors may establish in its discretion from time to time. The Company has created and authorized the issuance of a maximum of 3,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to SGRP's Certificate of Designation of Series "A" Preferred Stock (the "SGRP Series A Preferred Stock"), which have dividend and liquidation preferences, have a cumulative dividend of 10% per year, are redeemable at the Company's option and are convertible at the holder's option (and without further consideration) on a one-to-one basis into SGRP Common Stock. The number of shares authorized by such designation could, however, be reduced by amendment or redemption to facilitate the creation of other SGRP Preferred Series. On December 31, 2010, 554,402 shares of SGRP Series A Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding, such preferred shares are fully paid and non-assessable, the Company owed $123,000 in accumulated and unpaid dividends on those preferred shares, all of those preferred shares were held by two pension plans substantially for the benefit of affiliates of the Company, and there were 2,445,598 shares of authorized Series A Preferred Stock that remained unissued and available for issuance. See “Item 12 – Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters”, and “Item 13 – Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence”, below. See "Note 8 to Consolidated Financial Statements – Preferred Stock", below, respecting the conversion of such preferred shares into SGRP Common Stock on March 11, 2011.

The holders of SGRP Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock vote together for directors and other matters, other than matters pertaining only to the Series A Preferred Stock (such as amending SGRP's Certificate of Designation of Series "A" Preferred Stock) where only the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote. For a more complete description of the SGRP Common Stock and SGRP Preferred Stock, director and officer exculpation and indemnification, absence of cumulative voting rights and certain other governance matters, please see "Our Capital Stock" on pages 7 through 11 of SGRP's Amendment No. 1 to its Registration Statement on Form S-3 as filed with the SEC on February 7, 2011.

Price Range of Common Stock

The following table sets forth the reported high and low sales prices of the Common Stock for the quarters indicated as reported on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

	2010				2009
	High		Low		High		Low
First Quarter	$	1.10	$	0.76	$	0.75	$	0.45
Second Quarter		1.00		0.45		0.70		0.36
Third Quarter		1.09		0.42		0.95		0.36
Fourth Quarter		1.10		0.80		1.10		0.65

Dividends

The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its Common Stock and does not anticipate paying cash dividends on its Common Stock in the foreseeable future. While the Company's recently issued Preferred Stock accrues a 10% dividend payable in either cash or common stock when authorized by the Board, the Company does not anticipate paying a cash dividend in the foreseeable future. The Company currently intends to retain future earnings to finance its operations and fund the growth of the business. Any payment of future dividends will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company and will depend upon, among other things, the Company’s earnings, financial condition, capital requirements, level of indebtedness, contractual restrictions in respect to the payment of dividends and other factors that the Company’s Board of Directors deems relevant.

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

SGRP did not repurchase any of its equity securities during its fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.

SGRP Common Stock Issuances

SGRP did not issue any SGRP Common Stock during 2009 or 2010 other than (i) pursuant to its existing registered stock compensation and stock purchase plans, (ii) its Offer to Exchange Certain Outstanding Stock Options for New Stock Options dated August 24, 2009 (as filed with the SEC in SGRP’s Schedule TO on August 25, 2009), (iii) its agreement on August 15, 2009, to privately sell 120,000 shares of SGRP Common Stock to Alliance Advisors, LLC, for total consideration of $0.47 per share (the fair market value at the time of our agreement) or $56,000 in the aggregate (as more fully described in Item 2(a) of SGRP's Quarterly Report respecting the quarter ended September 30, 2010), and (iv) its agreement on March 26, 2010, to privately issue warrants to purchase 75,000 shares of SGRP Common Stock to Michael Anthony Holdings, Inc., in consideration of its term loan to us (as that loan is more fully described in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in SGRP's Quarterly Report respecting the quarter ended September 30, 2010), which warrants have an exercise price of $0.85 per share (the fair market value at the time of such agreement) and expire on March 26, 2012. The offer and sale of the shares referenced in clause (iii) and the warrants and shares referenced in clause (iv) of this paragraph have not been registered under the Securities Act or other securities laws, as they were made in a non-public offer and sale made in reliance upon (among other things) Section 4 (2) of the Securities Act.

SGRP Common Stock Offering and S-3 Registration Statement

The Company has filed and amended a registration statement on Form S-3 (as amended, the "2011 S-3 Registration Statement") for the sale of SGRP Common Stock to the public, which currently is being amended and will soon be resubmitted to the SEC for additional and potentially final review. When effective, the Company will be permitted to sell a maximum of 2,000,000 shares for its benefit and the selling stockholders, Mr. Brown and Mr. Bartels, will be permitted to sell a maximum of 500,000 shares each for their respective benefit under the 2011 S-3 Registration Statement (which maximums could be increased by amendment and payment of the requisite fees). However, based on the SGRP Common Stock beneficially owned by the Company's non-affiliates (i.e., its public float) and the SGRP Common Stock Price of $1.95 per share on March 11, 2011, the Company will be further limited under the applicable S-3 rules to sales of approximately $3,825,316 in proceeds (or 1,961,701 shares) at that price, and the maximum sales by Mr. Brown and Mr. Bartels will be proportionally reduced accordingly. An increase in its public float or a discounted offering sale price would permit the Company to sell more of its Common Stock under the 2011 S-3 Registration Statement.

-24-

Company operates in 9 countries that encompass approximately 47% of the total world population, through operations in the United States, Canada, Japan, South Africa, India, Romania, China, Australia and New Zealand.

Critical Accounting Policies & Estimates

The Company’s critical accounting policies, including the assumptions and judgments underlying them, are disclosed in the Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. These policies have been consistently applied in all material respects and address such matters as revenue recognition, depreciation methods, asset impairment recognition, consolidation of subsidiaries and other companies. While the estimates and judgments associated with the application of these policies may be affected by different assumptions or conditions, the Company believes the estimates and judgments associated with the reported amounts are appropriate in the circumstances. Four critical accounting policies are consolidation of subsidiaries, revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, and internal use software development costs.

Consolidation of Subsidiaries

The Company consolidates its 100% owned subsidiaries. The Company also consolidates all of its 51% owned subsidiaries as the Company believes it is the primary beneficiary and controls the economic activities in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 810-10, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entity.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s services are provided to its clients under contracts or agreements. The Company bills its clients based upon service fee and per unit fee billing arrangements. Revenues under service fee billing arrangements are recognized when the service is performed. The Company’s per unit fee arrangements provide for fees to be earned based on the retail sales of a client’s products to consumers. The Company recognizes per unit fees in the period such amounts become determinable and are reported to the Company.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company continually monitors the validity of its accounts receivable based upon current client credit information and financial condition. Balances that are deemed to be uncollectible after the Company has attempted reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the bad debt allowance and a credit to accounts receivable. Accounts receivable balances, net of any applicable reserves or allowances, are stated at the amount that management expects to collect from the outstanding balances. The Company provides for probable uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to bad debt allowance based in part on management’s assessment of the current status of individual accounts. Based on management’s assessment, the Company established an allowance for doubtful accounts of $143,000 and $317,000 at December 31, 2010, and 2009, respectively. Bad debt expenses were $265,000 and $412,000 in 2010, and 2009, respectively.

Internal Use Software Development Costs

In accordance with ASC-350-10-720, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use, the Company capitalizes certain costs associated with its internally developed software. Specifically, the Company capitalizes the costs of materials and services incurred in developing or obtaining internal use software. These costs include (but are not limited to) the cost to purchase software, the cost to write program code, payroll and related benefits and travel expenses for those employees who are directly involved with and who devote time to the Company’s software development projects. Capitalized software development costs are amortized over three years on a straight-line basis.

The Company capitalized $632,000 and $586,000 of costs related to software developed for internal use in 2010, and 2009, respectively, and recognized approximately $518,000 and $396,000 of amortization of capitalized software for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, and 2009, respectively.

The Company’s domestic net revenues increased $10.2 million or 38.4% to $36.6 million in 2010 from $26.4 million in 2009. The increase was attributable to both acquisition and organic growth.

The Company’s international net revenues totaled $26.6 million for 2010, decreasing 15% from $31.1 million in 2009. The primary reason for the decrease in 2010 international net revenues as compared to 2009 was the loss of marginally profitable sales promotion business in Japan, the loss of a key client in India, partially offset by increased revenue in Canada related to the business acquired from Wings and Ink.

Cost of Revenues

The Company’s cost of revenues consists of in-store labor and field management wages, related benefits, travel and other direct labor-related expenses. Cost of revenues was 66.8% of net revenues for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, compared to 69.5% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009.

Domestic cost of revenues of the Company as a percentage of its domestic net revenues were 64.1% and 63.2% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, and 2009, respectively. The increase in cost of revenues as a percentage of net revenues was less than 1% due primarily to the mix of project work. Approximately 87% and 84% of the Company’s domestic cost of revenue in both the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, and 2009, respectively, resulted from in-store merchandiser and field management services purchased from the Company’s affiliates, SMS and SMSI, respectively. (See Item 13 – Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence, above) and (See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements – Related Party Transactions).

Internationally, the Company’s cost of revenues as a percentage of its international net revenues were 70.4% and 74.9% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, and 2009, respectively. The cost of revenue percentage improvement of 4.5 percentage points was primarily due to a profitable mix of product services in Japan and Australia, partially offset by an unfavorable product mix of business in Canada and China.

Operating Expenses

The Company’s operating expenses consist of selling, general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization. Selling, general and administrative expenses of the Company include corporate overhead, project management, information technology, executive compensation, human resource, legal and accounting expenses. The following table sets forth the Company’s operating expenses and percentage of net revenues for the years indicated (in millions):

	Year Ended December 31,
	2010		%			2009		%

Selling, general & administrative	$	17.1		27.1	%	$	16.1		28.0	%
Depreciation and amortization		1.0		1.6			1.1		1.9

Total operating expenses	$	18.1		28.7	%	$	17.2		29.9	%

The Company’s domestic selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $9.2 million for 2010 compared to $7.8 million in 2009. The increase in domestic selling, general and administrative expenses of approximately $1.4 million or 17.4% was primarily due to the incremental spending required to support the acquisition of the business of National Marketing Services.

International selling, general and administrative expenses of the Company for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, were $8.0 million compared to $8.3 million for the prior year. The decrease of approximately $350,000 or 4.2% in the Company’s international selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to expense reductions in Japan of $1.1 million primarily driven by lower salary and other employee related expenses as a result of ownership change. This favorability was partially offset by increased expenses in the Canadian market attributed to the Wings and Ink acquisition.

The Company’s depreciation and amortization charges were $1.0 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, compared to $1.1 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009.

Interest Expense

The Company’s interest expense totaled approximately $309,000 for 2010, compared to interest expense of approximately $178,000 for 2009. The increase of $131,000 resulted from increased borrowings both domestically and internationally, in Australia and Canada.

Other Income

The Company’s other income was approximately $21,000 for twelve months ended December 31, 2010, compared to other income of approximately $582,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009. The 2009 income resulted from a third party litigation settlement and a credit from counsel against prior period legal expenses.

Income Taxes

The Company’s income tax provision for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, was $263,000 resulting primarily from domestic Alternative Minimum Tax, state and international tax expense of $61,000, $95,000 and $107,000, respectively. The Company’s income tax provision for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, was $169,000 resulting primarily from tax provisions related to international profits.

Non-Controlling Interest

The Company’s non-controlling interest income of $112,000 and $55,000 resulted from the net operating profits of the Company’s 51% owned subsidiaries for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Net Income

The SPAR Group had a net income for 2010 of approximately $2.2 million or $0.11 per diluted share, compared to net income for 2009 of approximately $502,000, or $0.03 per diluted share.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

None.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, the Company had a net income before non-controlling interest of $2.3 million, compared to a net income before non-controlling interest of $557,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009.

The Company’s operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $260,000, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $1.4 million in 2009. The decrease of approximately $1.2 million in cash provided by operating activities is primarily due to increases in accounts receivable and payments of accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities partially offset by decreases in other assets and increased net income.

Net cash used by the Company in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, was $1.4 million and $831,000, respectively. The change in its net cash used in investing activities was a result of purchases of property and equipment and software capitalization, including the Company’s purchases of the business of Wings & Ink and certain non-controlling interest in subsidiaries.

Net cash provided by the Company’s financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $376,000 compared with net cash used in financing activities of $743,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009. The cash provided by financing activities was primarily a result of the Company’s net borrowings on its lines of credit offset by payments on capital leases.

The above activities resulted in a decrease in the Company’ s cash and cash equivalents for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, of $736,000.

The Company had positive working capital of $4.4 million at December 31, 2010 compared to positive working capital of $252,000 at December 31, 2009. The Company’s current ratios were 1.37 and 1.02 at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The increase in working capital and current ratio were primarily due to increases in accounts receivable and decreases in accounts payable partially offset by reduced cash and other assets and increased accrued expenses and other liabilities.

Credit Facilities:

Domestic Credit Facility (“Webster Credit Facility)(reporting period through July 5, 2010):

In January 2003, the Company (other than SGRP’s foreign subsidiaries) and Webster Business Credit Corporation, then known as Whitehall Business Credit Corporation (“Webster”), entered into the Third Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Security Agreement (as amended, collectively, the “Webster Credit Facility”). The Webster Credit Facility provided for a $5.0 million revolving line of credit which matured on March 15, 2010. In February 2008, the Webster Credit Facility was amended to establish monthly EBITDA covenants until September 30, 2008, and to set a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant for the year ended December 31, 2008. In January 2009 the Webster Credit Facility was amended to extend the agreement until March 15, 2009, adjust the interest rate to the greater of 5%, the Alternative Base Rate or 30 day LIBOR plus 2.75% and to increase the limit on the capital expenditures to $1.3 million. In March 2009, the Webster Credit Facility was amended to extend the maturity until March 15, 2010, extend the monthly Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant until March 15, 2010 and reset the limit on capital expenditures to $800,000. On March 15, 2010, the Webster Credit Facility was further amended to extend the maturity and continue the monthly covenant requirements until September 15, 2010.

Borrowings were based upon a borrowing base formula as defined in the agreement (principally 85% of “eligible” domestic accounts receivable less certain reserves). The Webster Credit Facility was secured by all of the assets of the Company's domestic subsidiaries. The Webster Credit Facility also limited certain expenditures, including, but not limited to, capital expenditures and other investments.

The basic interest rate under the Webster Credit Facility was the greater of i) Webster’s “Alternative Base Rate” plus 1.0% per annum, which automatically changed with each change made by Webster in such Alternative Base Rate, ii) LIBOR plus 2.75% per annum, or iii) the minimum rate imposed by Webster of 5% per annum. The actual average interest rate under the Webster Credit Facility was 5% per annum for the period that commenced on January 1, 2010, and

-28-

ended on July 6, 2010. The Webster Credit Facility was secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company (other than SGRP’s foreign subsidiaries and their assets).

New Domestic Credit Facility (“Sterling Credit Facility”)(July 6, 2010, to present):

SGRP and certain of its domestic direct and indirect subsidiaries, namely SPAR Incentive Marketing, Inc., PIA Merchandising Co., Inc., Pivotal Sales Company, National Assembly Services, Inc., SPAR/Burgoyne Retail Services, Inc., SPAR Group International, Inc., SPAR Acquisition, Inc., SPAR Trademarks, Inc., SPAR Marketing Force, Inc. and SPAR, Inc. (each a "Subsidiary Borrower", and together with SGRP, collectively, the " Borrowers "), entered into a Revolving Loan and Security Agreement dated as of July 6, 2010 (the "Loan Agreement"), with Sterling National Bank and Cornerstone Bank as the lenders (the "Lenders"), and issued their Secured Revolving Loan Notes in the original maximum principal amounts of $5.0 million to Sterling National Bank and $1.5 million to Cornerstone Bank (the "Notes"), to document and govern its new credit facility with them (the "Sterling Credit Facility"). The Sterling Credit Facility replaced the Webster Credit Facility on July 6, 2010, and the first advance under such new facility was used to fully repay and terminate the Webster Credit Facility and its documents and liens.

In addition, Mr. Robert G. Brown, a Director, the Chairman and a major stockholder of SGRP, and Mr. William H. Bartels, a Director, the Vice Chairman and a major stockholder of SGRP, have provided personal guarantees of the Sterling Credit Facility totaling $2.5 million pursuant to their Limited Continuing Guaranty in favor of the Lenders dated as of July 6, 2010. (the "Limited Guaranty").

Revolving Loans of up to $6.5 million are available to the Borrowers under this new Sterling Credit Facility based upon the borrowing base formula defined in the Loan Agreement (principally 85% of "eligible" domestic accounts receivable less certain reserves). The Sterling Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Borrowers (other than SGRP's foreign subsidiaries, certain designated domestic subsidiaries, and their respective equity and assets).

The domestic revolving loan balance outstanding under the Sterling Credit Facility was approximately $3.5 million at December 31, 2010, and the revolving loan balances outstanding under the Webster Credit Facility was approximately $ 4.0 million at December 31, 2009. As of December 31, 2010, the Company had unused availability under the Sterling Credit Facility of $1.7 million out of the remaining maximum $3.0 million unused revolving line of credit.

The basic interest rate under the Sterling Credit Facility is equal to the fluctuating Prime Rate of interest published in the Wall Street Journal from time to time plus one and one-half (1.50%) percent per annum, which automatically changes with each change in such rate. The aggregate interest rate on December 31, 2010, was 4.75% per annum under that formula. The actual average interest rate under the Sterling Credit Facility was 4.75% per annum for the period that commenced on July 6, 2010, and ended on December 31, 2010.

Because of the requirement to maintain a lock box arrangement with the Agent and the Lenders' ability to invoke a subjective acceleration clause at its discretion, borrowings under the Sterling Credit Facility will be classified as current.

The new Sterling Credit Facility contains certain financial and other restrictive covenants and also limits certain expenditures by the Borrowers, including, but not limited to, capital expenditures and other investments. At December 31, 2010 the Company was in compliance with such covenants and does not expect to be in violation at future measurement dates. However, there can be no assurances that the Company will not be in violation of certain covenants in the future, and should the Company be in violation; there can be no assurances that the Lenders will issue waivers for any future violations.

International Credit Facilities:

The Japanese subsidiary SPAR FM Japan, Inc.’s line of credit agreement totaling 100 million Yen or approximately $1.1 million (based upon the exchange rate at November 30, 2009) was cancelled on November 30, 2009, in connection with SGRP’s increase in ownership from 50% to 100%.

-29-

had $540,000 (Australian), or approximately $548,000, outstanding under the line of credit (based upon the exchange rate at that date). The average interest rate under this facility was 10.2% per annum for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010.

On October 20, 2006, SPAR Canada Company, a wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a secured credit agreement with Royal Bank of Canada providing for a Demand Operating Loan for a maximum borrowing of $750,000 (Canadian) or approximately $750,000 (based upon the exchange rate at December 31, 2010). The Demand Operating Loan provides for borrowing based upon a formula as defined in the agreement (principally 75% of eligible accounts receivable less certain deductions) and a minimum total debt to tangible net worth covenant. On March 28, 2008, Royal Bank of Canada amended the secured credit agreement to reduce the maximum borrowing to $500,000 (Canadian) however, in October 2008, Royal Bank of Canada reinstated the loan limit to $750,000 (Canadian). At December 31, 2010, SPAR Canada Company had $623,000 (Canadian or USD), outstanding under the line of credit (based upon the exchange rate at December 31, 2010). The average interest rate under this line of credit was 4.0% per annum for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010.

The Company was in compliance with the minimum total debt to tangible net worth covenant under this line of credit at December 31, 2010.

At the March 2010 quarterly board meeting of SGRP, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to secure bridge financing for future acquisition efforts in an amount not to exceed $1.0 million. On March 26, 2010 the Company signed a Loan and Security Agreement and a Promissory Note with Michael Anthony Holdings, Inc. for a total of $1.0 million and the Company received its first advance of $500,000 which was used for the acquisition of certain assets of a Canadian company that closed on April 1, 2010. The parties amended such loan agreement on November 5, 2010, to reduce the applicable interest rates. The remaining $500,000 balance of the originally-contemplated loan would have been advanced to the Company upon request and satisfaction of certain conditions prior to maturity, but the Company currently does not expect to request that advance. The loan matures and is due in full on March 31, 2011. The Company currently plans to repay the loan in full on maturity.

The loan is payable on an interest only basis at the rate of 9.5% per annum (originally 14% per annum prior to such amendment). If the loan is not paid in full by March 31, 2011, the interest rate automatically increases to 14% per annum (which would have been 24% per annum prior to such amendment). The average interest rate for this loan was 13.1% per annum for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010.

In addition to the cost of interest, the Company paid, at closing, to Michael Anthony Holding, Inc. a fee of $10,000 in cash and issued 75,000 warrants to purchase 75,000 shares of the SGRP Common Stock. The warrants are exercisable over two (2) years at the market price of $0.85 per Common share (SPAR’s closing stock price on that date). The Company recorded a $52,000 expense for the cost of the warrants during 2010. In addition, the loan is secured by the stock of SPAR Canada Company.

The Company’s international model is to form a joint venture subsidiary with a local investor having local merchandising expertise and combine the local investor's knowledge of the local market with the Company’s proprietary software and expertise in the merchandising and marketing business. In 2001, the Company established its first international subsidiary and has continued this strategy. As of this filing, the Company is currently operating in Japan, Canada, South Africa, India, Romania, China, Australia and New Zealand through 7 active international subsidiaries.

Certain of these international subsidiaries are marginally profitable while others are operating at a loss. None of these entities have excess cash reserves. In the event of continued losses, the Company may find it necessary to provide additional cash infusions into these subsidiaries.

Management believes that based upon (among other things) its anticipated business, revenues and receivables collections and the existing credit facilities, the Company’s sources of cash availability will be sufficient to support ongoing operations over the next twelve months.

Item 9A.(T) Controls and Procedures

Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the registrant, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Management has designed such internal control over financial reporting by the Company to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.

The Company’s management has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting using the “Internal Control – Integrated Framework (1992)” created by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) framework. Based on this evaluation, management has concluded that internal controls over financial reporting were effective as of December 31, 2010.

Under applicable Securities Law, the Company is not yet required to obtain an attestation report from the Company's independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting, and accordingly such an attestation has not been obtained or included in this Annual Report.

Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer have each reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report, as required by Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(b) and Rule 15d-15(b). Based on that evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer have each concluded that the Company’s current disclosure controls and procedures are effective to insure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports it files, or submits under the Exchange Act were recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Controls

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s fourth quarter of its 2010 fiscal year that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting, except for completion of the improvements the Company had undertaken with respect to its Indian subsidiary’s period end closing and reporting procedures related to accumulation and reporting of annual financial results and disclosures (as more fully described in the Company’s Amendment No. 2 to its 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on October 8, 2010.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Board of Directors and Stockholders

SPAR Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Tarrytown, New York

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of SPAR Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for years then ended. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule for these years as listed in the index at Item 15. These consolidated financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and schedule based on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of SPAR Solutions Merchandising Private Limited as of and for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. These statements reflect total assets constituting 5% and 7% of consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and total revenues constituting 5% and 9% of total consolidated revenue for the years then ended, respectively. Such financial statements were audited by another auditor whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for SPAR Solutions Merchandising Private Limited for 2010 and 2009, is based solely on the report of the other auditor.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Business and Organization

The SPAR Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“SGRP”), and its subsidiaries (together with SGRP, the “SPAR Group” or the “Company”), is a supplier of merchandising and other marketing services throughout the United States and internationally. The Company also provides in-store event staffing, product sampling, furniture and other product assembly services, Radio Frequency Identification (“RFID”) services, technology services and marketing research services. Assembly services are performed in stores, homes and offices while those other services are primarily performed in mass merchandisers, office supply, grocery and drug store chains, and independent, convenience and electronics stores.

Merchandising services primarily consist of regularly scheduled, special project and other product services provided at the store level, and the Company may be engaged by either the retailer or the manufacturer. Those services may include restocking and adding new products, removing spoiled or outdated products, resetting categories "on the shelf" in accordance with client or store schematics, confirming and replacing shelf tags, setting new sale or promotional product displays and advertising, replenishing kiosks, providing in-store event staffing and providing assembly services in stores, homes and offices. Other merchandising services include whole store or departmental product sets or resets, including new store openings, new product launches and in-store demonstrations, special seasonal or promotional merchandising, focused product support and product recalls. The Company also provides RFID services, technology services and marketing research services.

Today the Company operates in 9 countries that encompass approximately 47% of the total world population. Although it operates in a single business segment (merchandising and marketing services), the Company currently divides its operations for marketing, administrative and other purposes into two geographic divisions: its Domestic Merchandising Services Division, which provides those services in the United States of America since certain of its predecessors were formed in 1979; and its International Merchandising Services Division, which began operations in May of 2001 and provides similar merchandising, marketing services and in-store event staffing services in Japan, Canada, South Africa, India, Romania, China, Australia and New Zealand.

The Company continues to focus on expanding its merchandising and marketing services business throughout the world.

Domestic Merchandising Services Division

The Company’s Domestic Merchandising Services Division provides nationwide merchandising and other marketing services throughout the United States of America primarily on behalf of consumer product manufacturers and retailers at mass merchandisers, office supply, grocery and drug store chains, and independent, convenience and electronics stores. Included in its clients are home entertainment, general merchandise, health and beauty care, consumer goods and food products companies.

Principles of Consolidation

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid short-term investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of acquisition to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s services are provided to its clients under contracts or agreements. The Company bills its clients based upon service fee or per unit fee arrangements. Revenues under service fee arrangements are recognized when the service is performed. The Company’s per unit fee arrangements provide for fees to be earned based on the retail sales of a client’s products to consumers. The Company recognizes per unit fees in the period such amounts become determinable and are reported to the Company.

Unbilled Accounts Receivable

Unbilled accounts receivable represent services performed but not billed and are included as accounts receivable.

Doubtful Accounts and Credit Risks

Property and Equipment and Depreciation

Property and equipment, including leasehold improvements, are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from three to seven years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or lease term, using the straight-line method.

Capital Lease Obligations

The Company has two outstanding capital lease obligations. The first lease originating in March 2010 has a cost of $215,000, accumulated depreciation of $29,800 and a net book value of $185,200 at December 31, 2010. The second lease originating in November 2010 has a cost of $48,100, accumulated depreciation of $2,700 and a net book value of $45,400 at December 31, 2010.

Annual future minimum lease payments required under the lease, together with the present value as of December 31, 2010 are as follows:

Year Ending December 31,	Amount
2011	$	99
2012		99

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset’s carrying amount may be higher than its fair value. If an asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment charge that would be recognized is the excess of the asset’s carrying value over the asset’s fair value.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s balance sheets include the following financial instruments: accounts receivable, accounts payable and lines of credit. The Company considers the carrying amounts of current assets and liabilities in the 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 or payment. The carrying amount of the lines of credit approximates fair value because the obligations bear interest at a floating market rate of interest.

Excess Cash

The Company’s domestic cash balances are generally utilized to pay its bank lines of credit. International cash balances are maintained in liquid cash accounts and are utilized to fund daily operations.

Major Customers - Domestic

In addition, approximately 10% and less than 1% of the Company’s net revenue for the years ended December 31, 2010, and 2009, respectively, resulting from merchandising and assembly services performed for a major office supply chain and for manufacturers within this claim. These customers accounted for approximately 3% and less than 1% of the Company’s accounts receivable at December 31, 2010, and 2009, respectively.

Approximately 7% and 6% of the Company’s net revenues for the years ended December 31, 2010, and 2009, respectively, resulting from merchandising services performed for manufacturers and others in stores operated by a leading mass merchandising chain in the United States. This customer accounted for approximately 4% and 9% of the Company’s accounts receivable at December 31, 2010, and 2009, respectively.

In 2010, the Company performed merchandising and marketing services for manufacturers and others in a national drug store chain. The services accounted for approximately 6% of the company's net revenues for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010. Effective March 1, 2011, the Company will no longer be providing these merchandising and marketing services in this national drug store chain.

Foreign Currency Rate Fluctuations

The Company has foreign currency exposure associated with its international subsidiaries. In both 2010 and 2009, these exposures are primarily concentrated in the Canadian Dollar, South African Rand, Australian Dollar and Japanese Yen. At December 31, 2010, international assets totaled $8.2 million and international liabilities totaled $6.2 million. For 2010, international revenues of subsidiaries posted $26.6 million and the international share of the Company’s net income was a net loss of approximately $506,000.

SPAR Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Interest Rate Fluctuations

The Company is exposed to market risk related to the variable interest rate on its lines of credit. At December 31, 2010, the Company’s outstanding debt totaled $5.3 million, as noted in the table below (in thousands):

Location	Variable Interest Rate (1)			US Dollars (2)
United States		4.75	%	$	3,536
International		4.0% - 10.2	%		1,727
				$	5,263

(1) Per annum interest at December 31, 2010

(2) Based on exchange rate at December 31, 2010

Based on 2010 average outstanding borrowings under variable-rate debt, a one-percentage point increase in interest rates would negatively impact annual pre-tax earnings and cash flows by approximately $45,000.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of certain temporary differences that will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred taxes are also recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income and tax credits that are available to offset future income taxes. In the event the future consequences of differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities result in a net deferred tax asset, an evaluation is required of the probability of being able to realize the future benefits indicated by such asset. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized.

Stock-Based Compensation

As of January 1, 2006, ASC-718-10 became effective and applicable to the Company’s accounting for its employee options. Under ASC-718-10, compensation expense is recognized in the Company’s financial statements when employee stock options are granted. Share-based compensation cost is measured on the grant date, based on the fair value of the award calculated at that date, and is recognized over the employee’s requisite service period, which generally is the options’ vesting period. Fair value is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The options granted have a ten (10) year life and vest over four-year periods at a rate of 25% per year, beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated based on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: dividend yield of 0% for all years; volatility factor of expected market price of common stock of 140% and 144% for 2010, and 2009, respectively; risk-free interest rate of 3.30% and 3.85% for 2010, and 2009, respectively; and expected lives of six years.

Net Income Per Share

Basic net income per share amounts are based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share amounts are based upon the weighted average number of common and potential common shares outstanding except for periods in which such potential common shares are anti-dilutive. Potential common shares outstanding include stock options and are calculated using the treasury stock method.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the amounts disclosed for contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting year. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The Company follows ASC-805-10, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, as such, goodwill is no longer amortized, but is subject to annual impairment tests. At December 31, 2010 and 2009 the Company performed the required impairment test. The Company calculated the fair value of each business unit for which goodwill was recorded to determine if there was an impairment. The fair value of each unit was based upon the estimate of the discounted cash flow generated by the respective business unit. As a result of these calculations, it was determined that there was no impairment to the goodwill.

On April 1, 2010, with the approval of SGRP's directors, the Company acquired substantially all of the business, customer contracts, receivables, work-in progress, other assets and certain liabilities of 2078281 Ontario Limited, an Ontario merchandising and marketing company doing business as Wings & Ink. A portion of this purchase was allocated to customer contracts. The contracts are being amortized on a straight line basis over 5 years.

Translation of Foreign Currencies

The financial statements of the foreign entities consolidated into SPAR Group, Inc. consolidated financial statements were translated into United States dollar equivalents at exchange rates as follows: balance sheet accounts for assets and liabilities were converted at year-end rates, equity at historical rates and income statement accounts at average exchange

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

rates for the year. The resulting translation gains and losses are reflected in accumulated other comprehensive gain or loss in the statements of stockholders’ equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are reflected in net earnings.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In June 2009, the FASB issued a new accounting standard related to the consolidation of VIEs. The standard replaces the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation with an approach that is primarily qualitative. The standard also requires ongoing reassessments of the appropriateness of consolidation, and additional disclosures about involvement with VIEs. The standard is effective for us as of January 1, 2010. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, and financial statement disclosures.

During December 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-29, “Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations.” The ASU is effective prospectively for business combinations whose acquisition date is at or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The ASU specifies that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The amendments to this guidance also expand the supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The adoption of the ASU will impact disclosures in future interim and annual financial statements issued if the Company enters into business combinations.

At December 31, 2010, SPARFACTS Australia Pty. Ltd. had $540,000 (Australian), or approximately $548,000, outstanding under the line of credit (based upon the exchange rate at that date). The average interest rate under this facility was 10.2% per annum for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010.

On October 20, 2006, SPAR Canada Company, a wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a secured credit agreement with Royal Bank of Canada providing for a Demand Operating Loan for a maximum borrowing of $750,000 (Canadian) or approximately $750,000 (based upon the exchange rate at December 31, 2010). The Demand Operating Loan provides for borrowing based upon a formula as defined in the agreement (principally 75% of eligible accounts receivable less certain deductions) and a minimum total debt to tangible net worth covenant. On March 28, 2008, Royal Bank of Canada amended the secured credit agreement to reduce the maximum borrowing to $500,000 (Canadian) however, in October 2008, Royal Bank of Canada reinstated the loan limit to $750,000 (Canadian). At December 31, 2010, SPAR Canada Company had $623,000 (Canadian or USD) outstanding under the line of credit (based upon the exchange rate at December 31, 2010). The average interest rate under this line of credit was 4.0% per annum for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010.

The Company was in compliance with the minimum total debt to tangible net worth covenant under this line of credit at December 31, 2010.

In addition to the cost of interest, the Company paid, at closing, to Michael Anthony Holding, Inc. a fee of $10,000 in cash and issued 75,000 warrants to purchase 75,000 shares of SGRP Common Stock. The warrants are exercisable over two (2) years at the market price of $0.85 per Common share (SPAR’s closing stock price on that date). The Company recorded a $52,000 expense for the cost of the warrants during 2010. In addition, the loan is secured by the stock of SPAR Canada Company.

At December 31, 2010, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs) of $4.9 million, related to the PIA Acquisition available to reduce future federal taxable income. Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code restricts the annual utilization of the NOLs incurred prior to a change in ownership. Such a change in ownership had occurred in 1999. The Company may utilize $657,500 of the PIA NOLs per year through the year 2018.

5. Income Taxes (continued)

In addition, the Company incurred NOLs related to its prior year losses totaling $10.8 million of which:

$2.7 expires in 2024,

$0.7 expires in 2025,

$3.6 expires in 2026,

$2.9 expires in 2027,

$0.7 expires in 2028, and

$0.2 expires in 2029.

As a result of losses, a challenging market and the lack of certainty of continued profitability in 2010, the Company has established a valuation allowance of approximately $6.3 million against deferred tax assets at December 31, 2010.

The Company does not provide currently for U.S. income taxes on the undistributed earnings of its profitable foreign subsidiaries since, at the present time, management expects any earnings to be reinvested in the foreign subsidiaries and not distributed. Upon distribution of those earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company would be subject to U.S. income taxes, which could potentially be offset by foreign tax credits. Distribution of those earnings can also subject the Company to related withholding taxes payable to various non-U.S. jurisdictions. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred U.S. income tax liability is not practicable because of the complexities associated with its hypothetical calculations.

ASC-740-10 prescribes detailed guidance for the financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of uncertain tax positions recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with ASC-740-10. Tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized upon the adoption of ASC-740-10 and in subsequent periods. ASC-740-10 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and the provisions of ASC-740-10 will be applied to all tax positions upon initial adoption of the Interpretation. The Company has adopted ASC-740-10 as of January 1, 2007.

The Company adopted provisions of ASC-740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, on January 1, 2007. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (in thousands):

	Year Ended December 31,
	2010			2009
Beginning Balance	$	119		$	115
Additions for tax positions of prior years		33			21
Reductions for tax positions of prior years		(109	)		(17	)
Ending Balance	$	43		$	119

ASC-740-10 requires that interest and penalties that the tax law requires to be paid on the underpayment of taxes should be accrued on the difference between the amount claimed or expected to be claimed on the return and the tax benefit recognized in the financial statements. The Company's policy is to record this interest and penalties as additional tax expense.

SPAR and its subsidiaries file numerous consolidated, combined and separate company income tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and in many U.S. state and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, SPAR is subject to U.S. Federal, state and local income tax examinations for the years 2005 through the present. However, tax authorities have the ability to review years prior to the position taken by the Company to the extent that SPAR utilized tax attributes carried forward from those prior years.

In management's view, the Company's tax reserves at December 31, 2010, totaling $43,000 for potential domestic state tax liabilities were sufficient to meet the requirements of ASC-740-10. The Company has evaluated the tax liabilities of its international subsidiaries and does not believe a reserve is necessary at this time.

Details of the Company's tax reserves at December 31, 2010, are outlined in the table below (in thousands):

6. Commitments and Contingencies

Lease Commitments

The Company leases equipment and certain office space in several cities, under non-cancelable operating lease agreements. Certain leases require the Company to pay its share of any increases in operating expenses and real estate taxes. Rent expense was approximately $346,000 and $418,000 for 2010, and 2009, respectively. At December 31, 2010, future minimum commitments under all non-cancelable operating lease arrangements are as follows (in thousands):

Year	Amount
2011	$	780
2012		710
2013		473
2014		423
2015		467
Total	$	2,853

International Commitments

The Company’s international model is to join forces with local investors experienced with merchandising services and combine their knowledge of their local markets with the Company’s proprietary software and expertise in the merchandising and marketing business. In 2001, the Company established its first international subsidiary and has continued this strategy. As of this filing, the Company is currently operating in Japan, Canada, South Africa, India, Romania, China, Australia and New Zealand through 7 active international subsidiaries.

Certain of these international subsidiaries are marginally profitable while others are operating at a loss. None of these entities have excess cash reserves. In the event of continued losses, SGRP may find it necessary to provide additional cash infusions into these subsidiaries.

7. Treasury Stock

The Company initiated a share repurchase program in 2002, which allowed for repurchase of up to 100,000 shares. In 2003, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an additional 122,000 shares increasing the total to 222,000 shares.

The Company’s treasury stock balances have remained unchanged at a quantity of 254 shares at a value of $1,212 for the years 2010 and 2009.

8. Preferred Stock

SGRP's certificate of incorporation also authorizes it to issue 3,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.01 per share (the "SGRP Preferred Stock"), which may have such preferences and priorities over the SGRP Common Stock and other rights, powers and privileges as the Company's Board of Directors may establish in its discretion from time to time. The Company has created and authorized the issuance of a maximum of 3,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to SGRP's Certificate of Designation of Series "A" Preferred Stock (the "SGRP Series A Preferred Stock"), which have dividend and liquidation preferences, have a cumulative dividend of 10% per year, are redeemable at the Company's option and are convertible at the holder's option (and without further consideration) on a one-to-one basis into SGRP Common Stock. The number of shares authorized by such designation could, however, be reduced by amendment or redemption to facilitate the creation of other SGRP Preferred Series. On December 31, 2010, there were 554,402 shares of SGRP Series A Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding, such shares are fully paid and non-assessable, and the Company owes approximately $118,000 in accumulated and unpaid dividends on those shares, and there were 2,455,598 shares of authorized Series A Preferred Stock that remained unissued and available for issuance.

On December 31, 2010, there were 338,801 shares of such Series A Preferred Stock owned by a non-SGRP retirement plan whose trustee is and beneficiaries include Robert G. Brown (who is a co-founder, director, executive officer and significant shareholder of SGRP), and 215,601 shares of such Series A Preferred Stock owned by a non-SGRP retirement plan whose trustees is and beneficiaries include William H. Bartels (who also is a co-founder, director, executive officer and significant shareholder of SGRP), which shares collectively constituted all of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock. Those shares were originally purchased pursuant to subscription agreements on March 31, 2008, and September 24, 2008, at the closing Nasdaq bid price of SGRP Common Stock for the preceding trading day, which was $1.12 per share for the March purchases and $0.86 per share for the September purchases. The offer and sale of such Preferred Stock was not registered under the Securities Act or other securities laws, as they were a non-public offer and sale made in reliance upon (among other things) Section 4 (2) of the Securities Act. For more information respecting these purchases - "See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements – Related Party Transactions, below."

On or before March 10, 2011, Mr. Brown and Mr. Bartels, as trustees of those plans, each had requested that their plan's preferred shares be converted into SGRP Common Stock in accordance with its terms, and in order to facilitate conversion of those shares by payment of all accrued and unpaid dividends, on March 10, 2011, SGRP's Board of Directors (i) fixed March 10, 2011, as the applicable record date for determination of the holders of the SGRP Series A Preferred Stock eligible to receive such dividends, (ii) declared a dividend on such SGRP Series A Preferred Stock equal to the accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, payable in shares of SGRP Common Stock valued at their market value ($2.34 per share) on such record date, and (iii) authorized the issuance of the shares of SGRP Common Stock necessary to effect such conversion (554,402 shares) and accrued dividend payment (54,584 shares) in consideration of the preferred shares surrendered and the accrued dividends thereby satisfied. As a result of such conversions and stock dividends, on March 11, 2011, Mr. Brown's plans received 372,158 shares of SGRP Common Stock (33,357 shares of

which were for accrued dividends) and Mr. Bartel's plan received 236,828 shares of SGRP Common Stock (21,227 shares of which were for accrued dividends).

9. Employee Benefits

Stock Purchase Plans

The Company has Employee and Consultant Stock Purchase Plans (the “SP Plans”). The SP Plans allow employees and consultants of the Company to purchase common stock without having to pay any commissions on the purchases. On August 8, 2002, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a 15% discount for employee purchases and recommended that its affiliates (See Note 10 – Related-Party Transactions) approve a 15% cash bonus for affiliate consultant purchases. The maximum amount that any employee or consultant can contribute to the SP Plans per quarter is $6,250, and the total number of shares reserved by the Company for purchase under the SP Plans is 500,000.

Shares purchased by employees and consultants under the SP Plans were 16,763 and 13,237 for 2010, and 2009, respectively. As of December 31, 2010, 141,907 shares remain outstanding under the SP plan.

The Company’s expense resulting from the 15% discount offered to employees and consultants was immaterial for all years presented.

Retirement/Pension Plans

The Company has a 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan covering substantially all eligible employees. Employer contributions were suspended for 2009 and 2010.

10. Related-Party Transactions

Mr. Robert G. Brown, a Director, the Chairman and a major stockholder of SGRP, and Mr. William H. Bartels, a Director and the Vice Chairman of the Company and a major stockholder of SGRP, are executive officers and the sole stockholders and directors of SPAR Marketing Services, Inc. (“SMS”), SPAR Management Services, Inc. (“SMSI”), and SPAR Infotech, Inc. (“SIT”).

SMS and SMSI provided approximately 99% of the Company’s domestic merchandising specialists field force and approximately 92% of the Company’s domestic field management at a total cost of approximately $20 million and $14 million for 2010 and 2009, respectively. Pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Field Service Agreement dated as of January 1, 2004, as amended (the "Field Services Agreement"), SMS provides merchandising services to the Company through the use of approximately 5,300 of its field force of merchandising specialists. Pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Field Management Agreement dated as of January 1, 2004, SMSI provides 54 full-time national, regional and district managers to the Company. For those services, the Company has agreed to reimburse SMS and SMSI for all of their costs of providing those services and to pay SMS and SMSI each a premium equal to 4% of their respective costs (the "Plus Compensation"). In 2009, SMS and the Company agreed to provide a temporary price concession by lowering the Plus Compensation rate by one percentage point, from 4% to 3%, effective January 1, 2009, continuing through December 31, 2009, at which time the Plus Compensation rate was re-instated to 4% as of January 1, 2010. The total Plus Compensation earned by SMS and SMSI for services rendered in 2010 was $778,000. The total Plus Compensation (3% of the costs of SMS and SMSI for 2009) earned by SMS and SMSI for services rendered in 2009 was $404,000.

The Company has continued to purchase those services because it believes the terms it receives from them are at least as favorable to the Company as it could obtain from non-affiliated providers of similar services. The Company periodically engages an outside firm to conduct a survey of fees and rates charged by comparable national labor sourcing firms to serve as a comparison to the rates charged by such affiliates. The most recent such survey showed that the rates negotiated with the Affiliates are in fact slightly less than those charged by unrelated vendors providing similar services. The Company's cost of revenue would have increased by $609,000 and $492,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, if the Company would have instead used an unaffiliated entity to provide comparable services at the surveyed rates. All affiliate contracts are reviewed and approved by SGRP's Audit Committee, as described below.

The Company has been advised that Messrs. Brown and Bartels are not paid any salaries as officers of SMS or SMSI so there were no salary reimbursements for them included in such costs or premium. However, since SMS and SMSI are “Subchapter S” corporations and are owned by Messrs. Brown and Bartels, all income from SMS and SMSI is allocated to them.

In an effort to further reduce costs and improve efficiencies, on January 1, 2010, the Company began performing its own programming services through its centralized data processing facility located in Auburn Hills, Michigan, using its own employees and contractors worldwide, and ceased utilizing the programming services of SIT. The Company hired the majority of the employees and contractors who previously worked for SIT with SIT's cooperation. In 2009, SIT provided substantially all of the Internet computer programming services purchased by the Company at a total cost of $572,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009. SIT provided approximately 21,000 hours of Internet computer programming services to the Company for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009. The average hourly billing rate was $26.64 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009. The Company has been advised that no hourly charges or business expenses for Messrs. Brown and Bartels were charged to the Company by SIT for the twelve months ended December 312009. However, since SIT is a "Subchapter S" corporation and is owned by Messrs. Brown and Bartels, all income of SIT is allocated to them.

In July 2008, the Company, through SPAR Marketing Force, Inc. (“SMF”), entered into a new Master Lease Agreement with SMS, and in July and September of 2008 entered into new separate operating leases with SMS pursuant to Equipment Leasing Schedules under that Master Lease Agreement. Each operating lease has a 36 month term and representations, covenants and defaults customary for the leasing industry. The leases are for handheld computers to be used by field merchandisers in the performance of various merchandising and marketing services in the United States and have a total monthly payment of $11,067. These handheld computers had an original purchase price of $401,188. The monthly payments are based upon a lease factor of 3.1%.

10. Related-Party Transactions (continued)

In November 2004 and January 2005 and as amended in May 2005, the Company entered into separate operating lease agreements between SMS and the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries, SPAR Marketing Force, Inc. (“SMF”) and SPAR Canada Company (“SPAR Canada”). Each lease, as amended, has a 36 month term and representations, covenants and defaults customary for the leasing industry. The SMF lease is for handheld computers to be used by field merchandisers in the performance of various merchandising and marketing services in the United States and has a monthly payment of $17,891. These handheld computers had an original purchase price of $632,200. The SPAR Canada lease is also for handheld computers to be used by field merchandisers in the performance of various merchandising and marketing services in Canada and has a monthly payment of $2,972. These handheld computers had an original purchase price of $105,000. The monthly payments, as amended, are based upon a lease factor of 2.83%. In March 2005, SMF entered into an additional 36 month lease with SMS for handheld computers. The lease factor is 2.83% and the monthly payment is $2,341. These handheld computers had an original purchase price of $82,727.

By March 31, 2008, all of the operating leases noted above had expired. Both SMF and SPAR Canada elected to notify SMS of their intention to continue to lease the equipment for an additional twelve month period. On September 24, 2008, SMS entered into a Bill of Sale and Lease Termination agreement with SMF and SPAR Canada, pursuant to which the parties terminated those leases and SMF purchased from SMS the equipment SMF leased under its existing equipment lease pursuant to its option thereunder and the equipment SPAR Canada leased under its existing equipment lease (with SPAR Canada's consent), for a total purchase price of $500,000 (the fair market value of the hand held computer units so purchased). SGRP’s Audit Committee and Board of Directors each reviewed and approved this affiliated transaction, including (without limitation) the terms of the Bill of Sale and the affiliated relationship of the parties.

Through arrangements with the Company, SMS, SMSI and SIT participate in various benefit plans, insurance policies and similar group purchases by the Company, for which the Company charges them their allocable shares of the costs of those group items and the actual costs of all items paid specifically for them. All transactions between the Company and the above affiliates are paid and/or collected by the Company in the normal course of business.

The following transactions occurred between the Company and the above affiliates (in thousands):

	Year Ended December 31,
	2010		2009
Services provided by affiliates:
Independent contractor services (SMS)	$	16,052	$	10,820

In addition to the above, through the services of Affinity Insurance, Ltd. (“Affinity”), the Company purchases insurance coverage for its casualty and property insurance risk. The Company’s Chairman and Vice Chairman own, through SMSI, a minority (less than 1%) equity interest in Affinity.

10. Related-Party Transactions (continued)

SGRP’s Audit Committee periodically reviews and has approved all of the related party relationships and transactions described above, as required by and in accordance with its Charter and the Company's Code of Ethical Conduct, NASDAQ rules and applicable law, the Audit Committee reviews each material related party transaction for its overall fairness to the Company, both initially and periodically (often annually), which review includes (without limitation) the costs and benefits to the Company, the other terms of the transactions, the affiliated relationship of the parties, and whether the overall economic and other terms are (or continue to be) no less favorable to the Company than would be the case with an unrelated provider of substantially similar services.

11. Stock Based Compensation

SGRP currently has five stock option plans: the 2008 Stock Compensation Plan ("2008 Plan"), the 2000 Stock Option Plan ("2000 Plan"), the Special Purpose Stock Option Plan ("Special Purpose Plan"), the Amended and Restated 1995 Stock Option Plan (“1995 Plan”) and the Directors Plan.

On May 29, 2008, SGRP's stockholders approved and adopted the 2008 Plan as the successor to the 2000 Plan, the 1995 Plan and the Director’s Plan with respect to all new options issued. The 2008 Plan provides for the granting of either incentive or nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights and other stock based awards to specified employees, consultants, and directors of the Company, although to date SGRP has not issued any permissible form of award other than stock options. Pursuant to the 2008 Plan, no more than 5,600,000 shares of SGRP's common stock in the aggregate ("Maximum Covered Shares") may be covered by options or other awards issued from time to time under the 2008 Plan on or after May 29, 2009 ("New Awards"), or to the extent still outstanding on May 29, 2008, issued at any time under the 2000 Plan or 1995 Plan ("Continuing Awards"). Shares covered by New Awards or Continuing Awards that expire, lapse, terminate, are forfeited, become void or otherwise cease to exist (other than as a result of exercise) are added back to the Maximum Covered Shares and become available for new grants, while those shares covered by exercised New Awards or Continuing Awards are not added back and accordingly effectively reduce the Maximum Covered Shares under the 2008 Plan. The options have a maximum term of ten years, except in the case of incentive stock options granted to greater than 10% stockholders (whose terms are limited to a maximum of five years), and SGRP has generally issued options having maximum terms.

On December 4, 2000, SGRP adopted the 2000 Plan as the successor to the 1995 Plan and the Director’s Plan with respect to all new options issued. The 2000 Plan provides for the granting of either incentive or nonqualified stock options to specified employees, consultants, and directors of the Company for the purchase of up to 3,600,000 (less those options still outstanding under the 1995 Plan or exercised after December 4, 2000 under the 1995 Plan). The options generally had a term of ten years, except that incentive stock options granted to greater than 10% stockholders generally had five year terms. The exercise price of nonqualified stock options must be equal to at least 85% of the fair market value of SGRP’s common stock at the date of grant (although typically the options are issued at 100% of the fair market value), and the exercise price of incentive stock options must be equal to at least the fair market value of SGRP’s common stock at the date of grant.

On July 8, 1999, in connection with the merger, SGRP established the Special Purpose Plan of PIA Merchandising Services, Inc. to provide for the issuance of substitute options to the holders of outstanding options granted by SPAR Acquisition, Inc. There were options to purchase 134,114 shares granted at $0.01 per share under this plan. Since July 8, 1999, SGRP has not granted any new options under this plan.

The 1995 Plan provided for the granting of either incentive or nonqualified stock options to specific employees, consultants, and directors of the Company for the purchase of up to 3,500,000 shares of SGRP’s common stock. The options had a term of ten years from the date of issuance, except in the case of incentive stock options granted to greater than 10% stockholders for which the term was five years. The 1995 Plan was superseded by the 2008 Plan and the 2000 Plan with respect to all new options issued.

The Director’s Plan was a stock option plan for non-employee directors and provided for the purchase of up to 120,000 shares of SGRP’s common stock. Since 2000, SGRP has not granted any new options under this plan. The Director’s Plan has been replaced by the 2008 Plan and the 2000 Plan with respect to all new options issued.

SGRP grants options to purchase shares of common stock issued by SGRP to its directors, officers, employees and certain employees of its affiliates pursuant to its 2008 Stock Compensation Plan, as amended (the “2008 Plan”), and has granted stock options under various predecessor plans that continue to be outstanding. SGRP has the authority to issue other types of stock-based awards under the 2008 Plan, but to date has not done so. The Company accounts for its employee and affiliate employee stock option expense as compensation expense in the Company’s financial statements when the stock options are granted. Share-based compensation cost is measured on the grant date, based on the fair value of the award calculated at that date, and is recognized over the requisite service period, which generally is the options’ vesting period. Fair value is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The options granted have a ten (10) year life and vest over four-year periods at a rate of 25% per year, beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant.

On August 6, 2009, 330,000 new stock option grants were issued to employees, officers, and certain employees of its affiliate at an exercise price of $0.40, which represents the fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock on August 6, 2009, as determined in accordance with the Company’s 2008 Stock Compensation Plan. The estimated stock compensation expense is $93,000 and $42,000 for employees and non-employees, respectively, which will be recognized ratably over the four-year vesting period.

At the 2009 annual meeting on May 28, 2009, the stockholders of SGRP approved an amendment (the “Repricing Amendment”) to the 2008 Plan that gives the Compensation Committee of SGRP's Board of Directors (the "Compensation Committee") the full authority and complete flexibility from time to time to designate and modify (in its discretion) one or more of the outstanding stock options or other awards (including their exercise prices and other terms) to (among other things) restore their intended values and incentives to their holders. No further consent of SGRP’s stockholders is required for any repricing or other modification of any award pursuant to the Repricing Amendment. The Repricing Amendment permits changes in all outstanding stock options and other awards, including those previously issued under predecessor plans. However, no modification can adversely affect an awardee’s rights or obligations under an award without the awardee’s consent.

On August 6, 2009, in order to restore the intended value and incentives under SGRP's outstanding stock options as permitted by the Repricing Amendment, the Compensation Committee and Board approved a plan to offer to its employees, officers, directors, consultants and retirees the opportunity to surrender options on approximately 2.1 million shares of the Company's common stock in exchange for repriced replacement options (“New Option Contracts”) in the same amount as the surrendered option shares except for those surrendered by outside directors, who will receive fewer replacement shares.

The Company detailed such plan in its Offer to Exchange Certain Outstanding Stock Options for New Stock Options dated August 24, 2009 (including its exhibits and incorporated documents, the "Exchange Offer"), as filed with the SEC in its Schedule TO on August 25, 2009.

On September 24, 2009, pursuant to the Company’s Exchange Offer: eighty-one of the Company’s eligible officers, employees and consultants voluntarily surrendered for exchange and cancellation their existing option contracts to

purchase an aggregate of 1,257,740 shares of SGRP's common stock, representing approximately 82.5% of the total option shares under all existing option contracts eligible for exchange. Those existing option contracts were accepted for exchange by the Company; and in exchange for those surrendered option contracts, the Company issued new stock option contracts to them to purchase an aggregate of 1,257,740 shares of SGRP's common stock (“New Option Contracts”). These New Option Contracts have an exercise price of $0.40 per share, which represents the fair market value of a share of SGRP's common stock on August 6, 2009 (their grant date), as determined in accordance with SGRP's 2008 Stock Compensation Plan and will vest over four (4) years. The incremental compensation expense to the Company is approximately $92,000 (based on current Black-Scholes computation factors), which will be recognized ratably over the vesting period from August 7, 2009, to August 6, 2013.

Also on September 24, 2009, pursuant to the Company’s Exchange Offer: all five of the Company’s eligible current and retired outside directors voluntarily surrendered for exchange and cancellation their existing option contracts to purchase an aggregate of 530,564 shares of SGRP's common stock, representing 98.2% of the total option shares under all existing option contracts eligible for exchange by such directors; those existing option contracts were accepted for exchange by the Company; and in exchange for those surrendered option contracts, the Company issued new stock option contracts to them to purchase an aggregate of 446,000 shares of SGRP's common stock for exchange and cancellation of their existing option contracts. These new contracts have an exercise price of $0.40 per share, which represents the fair market value of a share of SGRP's common stock on August 6, 2009 (their grant date), as determined in accordance with the Company's 2008 Stock Compensation Plan, vest immediately, and have no incremental compensation expense to the Company. The number of shares covered by the new stock options received by the outside directors averaged 0.83 new option shares for each surrendered and cancelled option share, which they required to avoid any such incremental compensation expense to the Company from their participation in the repricing exchange.

Based upon the Black-Scholes calculation, share-based compensation expense related to employee stock option grants totaled $131,000 and $136,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Compensation expense related to non-employee stock option grants awarded to the employees of the Company’s affiliates was $80,000 and $70,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The unamortized expense as of December 31, 2010, was approximately $340,000 for outstanding stock option grants. The impact of the total share-based compensation expense on basic/diluted earnings per share was $0.01 for both years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

On March 10, 2010, in connection with an Investor Relations Consulting agreement dated August 15, 2009, with Alliance Advisors LLC, the Board of Directors approved the issuance of 120,000 shares of SGRP common stock in return for a cash payment of $0.01 per share and services rendered by Alliance Advisors LLC to the Company.

12. Geographic Data

The Company operates in the same single business segment (e.g., merchandising and marketing services) in both its Domestic Merchandising Services Division and its International Merchandising Services Division. The Company uses those divisions to improve its administration and operational and strategic focuses, and it tracks and reports certain financial information separately for each of those divisions, as described in Item 1 – Business in our Annual Report, above. The Company measures the performance of its domestic and international divisions and subsidiaries using the same metrics. The primary measurement utilized by management is operating profits, historically the key indicator of long-term growth and profitability, as the Company is focused on reinvesting the operating profits of each of its international subsidiaries back into its local markets in an effort to improve market share and continued expansion efforts. Set forth below are summaries (in thousands) of the Company's net revenues from its United States subsidiaries (i.e., the Domestic Merchandising Services Division) and from its international (non-U.S.) subsidiaries (i.e., the International Merchandising Services Division), net revenue from certain international subsidiaries as a percent of consolidated net revenue, operating income (loss) and long lived assets by geographic area for 2010 and 2009, respectively:

14. Acquisitions

On December, 4 2009, the Company acquired substantially all of the business and customer contracts and hired certain employees of Brenner Associates Inc., an assembly service and merchandising service company that also did business as National Marketing Services or "NMS". NMS was in a bankruptcy proceeding. With the approval of the court, the trustee and NMS's secured lender, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. ("Chase"), and in return for the transfer of certain NMS assets to the Company, Chase released certain claims against NMS, and the Company agreed to compensate Chase through a contingent earn-out based on achieving certain future gross revenue levels and to indemnify Chase for up to $50,000 of uncollected NMS receivables in the event the collections by the trustee and Chase were less than the specified minimum. The $50,000 was paid to Chase and recorded as goodwill. No other consideration was paid for NMS.

The earn out is based on the Company achieving at least $8.0 million in gross revenue from the acquired NMS business on a rolling 12 month basis. If this revenue level is achieved, Chase will be paid a monthly earn-out that could aggregate $350,000 during a 12 month period. If the Company achieved a similar gross revenue level on such a basis during a second 12 month period, Chase will be paid a second monthly earn-out that could aggregate $350,000 over that period (thus providing Chase with a potential earn-out of $700,000 over a 24 month period). The earn out of $8.0 million in gross revenue was not achieved in the first twelve months and current revenue levels do not indicate that the remaining earn out will be triggered, as such, no contingent liability was recorded.The acquired NMS assets included all of the stock of its wholly owned subsidiaries; National Assembly Services, Inc., a New Jersey corporation that performs in-home furniture assembly services ("NAS"), and NMS Retail Services ULC (“NRS”), a Nova Scotia unlimited Liability Company that performs merchandising services in Canada. The principal assets of NAS and NRS were cash and accounts receivable, which had an approximate fair value of $205,000 on December 4, 2009, and their principal liabilities were accounts payable and accrued expenses, which had a fair value of $214,000 on the date of such acquisition. As subsidiaries of the Company, the assets and liabilities of NAS and NMS Canada, as well as their results since the date of acquisition, are included in the Company's 2009 consolidated financial statements.

In March 2010, the Company established a new Canadian subsidiary, SPAR Wings & Ink Company ("SWI") specifically to expand its merchandising and marketing services throughout Canada. On April 1, 2010, with the approval of SGRP’s directors, SWI acquired substantially all of the business, customer contracts, receivables, work-in progress, other assets and certain liabilities of 2078281 Ontario Limited, an Ontario merchandising and marketing company doing business as Wings & Ink (the "Seller"). The Company, at closing, also hired substantially all of the Seller’s employees including offering consulting contracts to the principals of the Seller.

In return for the purchase of such assets and assumed liabilities, at closing SWI compensated the Seller through 1) a cash payment of $500,000 Canadian dollars (“CAD”), 2) issued a $75,000 CAD interest bearing promissory note payable over an 18 month period and 3) placed $50,000 in escrow for a 12 month period and 4) assumed $446,000 CAD of liabilities.

14. Acquisitions (continued)

The Company has completed its valuation of the fair value and allocation for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and has recorded the following (in US dollars):

Accounts Receivable	$	644,000
Equipment		2,000
Customer contracts		426,000
	$	1,072,000

The Company is amortizing the customer contracts of $426,000 on a straight line basis over 5 years. The net book value at December 31, 2010 was $362,000. Amortization expense for the year ending December 31, 2010 was approximately $64,000. The annual amortization amount of these contracts is expected to be approximately $82,000 for 2011-2013 and $18,000 in 2014.

SWI also agreed to pay an earn out to the principals of the Seller based on SWI achieving certain revenue and gross profit margin levels of the acquired business for each of the next two12 month periods. The earn out is based on revenue and gross profit margins exceeding certain agreed upon base levels, if achieved, the principles will be paid one third of the excess gross profit dollars in each of the two 12 month periods. The Company has not recorded a contingent liability as it is unlikely these revenue and gross margin targets will be met.

15. Mergers

In 2010, the Company entered into merger agreements between several of its inactive subsidiaries in an effort to simplify the Company’s reporting structure.

The following inactive subsidiaries were merged into SPAR All Store Marketing Services, Inc. (as the survivor):

·	SPAR Technology Group, Inc.
·	SPAR/PIA Retail Services, Inc.

·	Retail Resources, Inc.
·	Pivotal Field Services, Inc.

The following inactive subsidiaries were merged into PIA Merchandising Co. Inc. (as the survivor):

·	Pivotal Sales Company

The following inactive subsidiaries were merged into SPAR Marketing Force, Inc. (as the survivor):

·	SPAR/Burgoyne Retail Services, Inc.
·	SPAR, Inc.

·	SPAR Marketing, Inc.

There is no expected tax or reporting impact expected from the above mergers, as all such subsidiaries were inactive.

and

As Further Amended Through March 10, 2011

The Board of Directors and Governance Committee of SPAR Group, Inc. ("SGRP"), have adopted this SPAR Group Statement of Policy Regarding Personal Securities Transactions in SGRP Stock and Non-Public Information Dated, Adopted and Effective as of May 1, 2004, and As Further Amended Through March 10, 2011 (as the same may have been and hereafter may be modified, amended, restated or replaced from time to time in the manner provided herein, this "Policy"). "Company" shall mean each of SGRP, each of its direct and indirect subsidiaries and (to the extent they have agreed to adopt this Policy and apply it to their Covered Persons) each of SGRP's other affiliates. "SGRP Securities" means any common stock or other securities issued by SGRP. SGRP has asked SPAR Marketing Services, Inc., SPAR Management Services, Inc., and SPAR Infotech, Inc. (the three SGRP affiliates currently providing services to SGRP and its subsidiaries) to adopt this Policy to apply to their respective Covered Employees as if they were SGRP subsidiaries, and each has done so. Accordingly, such SPAR affiliates shall be included as part of the Company for purposes of this Policy.

1. Non-Public Information - Introduction

Each officer, director or employee of the Company may from time to time receive or become aware of material, non-public information regarding the Company that may be of significance to the securities markets. Material information is any information that an investor would consider important in a decision to buy, hold or sell a security. While it is impossible to provide a detailed list of all generic types of material information, the following list illustrates events that are often considered material: internal non-public financial reports and forecasts; mergers or acquisitions, increases or decreases in revenues or profits, important new contracts or projects and important financing developments. Non-public information is information that has not been generally known or available to the investing community for at least two trading days, including any trading day where a public announcement or other disclosure thereof is made before or reasonably concurrently with the opening of trading.

Under the Insider Trading and Securities Fraud Enforcement Act of 1988, it is illegal for any person to trade securities based on material, non-public information ("insider trading") or to give such information to someone else who then makes a trade ("tipping"). Under federal law, penalties for insider violations include disgorgement of profits, civil penalties of three times the amount of profit gained or loss avoided, criminal fines of up to $1,000,000 and jail terms of up to ten years.

In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") may seek penalties of up to $1,000,000 or three times the amount of profit gained or loss avoided (whichever is greater) against "controlling persons" for failing to take proper steps to prevent insider trading or tipping violations by those under their supervision. Under current law, controlling persons may include SGRP, its directors and its officers.

2. Policy and Procedures – No Trading on or Disclosure of Non-Public Information, Etc.

The Company is committed to the maintenance of its reputation for ethical conduct as well as to full compliance with applicable laws. In order to help ensure that trading in SGRP Securities does not result in violations of law, the Company has implemented the following policies and procedures applicable to each director, officer and employee of the Company (each a "Covered Person"), except as otherwise noted in item 3, below.

It is the Company's policy that a Covered Person shall not under any circumstances use any non-public information with respect to the Company for his or her benefit or trade in any SGRP Securities or other securities related to such information.

Company personnel should not discuss or disclose non-public information to anyone else within the Company unless such person has a clear right and need to know such information in order to fulfill his or her job responsibilities. Company personnel should not discuss or disclose such information under any circumstance with anyone outside the Company, including (without limitation) any family member, relative

As Amended Through March 10, 2011

or business or social acquaintance. If you are unsure whether certain information should be considered inside information, you should resolve any doubt by assuming that it is such inside information. Questions concerning what is or is not inside information should be directed to the Chief Financial Officer of the Company.

3. Blackout Period on SGRP Securities for Specified Restricted Persons

A Covered Person will generally be deemed under applicable law to have a beneficial interest in SGRP Securities when (among other things): (a) the Covered Person has the power to vote or direct the vote of such securities; (b) the Covered Person has to power to sell or direct the sale of such securities; (c) the Covered Person has the right to profit or share in any profit from such securities; (d) the Covered Person owns options, warrants, convertible securities or other rights to acquire such securities; or (e) any Related Person (to the Covered Person) owns such securities or any options, warrants, convertible securities or other rights to acquire them.

A "Related Person" of a Restricted Person or other Covered Person includes, to the extent required by applicable law, (i) any 401k, benefit plan, stock purchase plan or other plan for the benefit of such Restricted Person or Covered Person, (ii) any trust where such Restricted Person or Covered Person is a trustee, (iii) any corporation, limited liability company, partnership or other entity owned or controlled by such Restricted Person or Covered Person, (iv) the spouse of such Restricted Person or Covered Person who has the same home as such Restricted Person or Covered Person, and (v) any family member of such Restricted Person or Covered Person or his or her spouse who has the same home as such Restricted Person or Covered Person.

A Covered Person also may under certain circumstances be deemed under applicable law to have a beneficial interest in the SGRP Securities that are held by other family members, trusts and affiliates to the extent required by applicable law. Covered Persons include (without limitation) all Restricted Persons to the extent required by applicable law. SGRP itself is neither a Covered Person nor a Restricted Person.

A Covered Person may be liable for any violation of this Policy by his or her Related Person(s).

5. Recommended Notice Before Each Purchase or Sale of SGRP Securities

For their own protection, the Company recommends that each Restricted Person notify the Chief Financial Officer before or contemporaneously with any purchase or sale by such Restricted Person or his or her Related Person of any SGRP Securities.

6. Penalty for Violation of Policy

Any Covered Person violating this Policy in any material respect (as determined by the Board) will be subject to disciplinary action, and (depending on the circumstances and severity) may be terminated by the Company.

Please note that acts or omissions of a Covered Person in violation of this Policy also may violate applicable law and subject the Covered Person to possible civil or criminal liability, whether or not the Company may take any such disciplinary action.

7. Questions Regarding this Policy

Questions concerning this Policy should be referred to the Chief Financial Officer. If any person believes that they may have inadvertently violated the law or this policy in connection with purchase or sale of SGRP Securities, such person should consult with their own counsel before discussing the details thereof with the Chief Financial Officer.

8. Code of Ethical Conduct Provisions Incorporated by Reference

This Policy is part of the Company's codes of ethical conduct, including (without limitation) the SPAR Group, Inc., Code of Ethical Conduct for its Directors, Senior Executives and Employees Dated (as of) May 1, 2004 (as the same may be supplemented, modified, amended, restated or replaced from time to time in the manner provided therein, the "Code").
