Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
(unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated and combined
financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, the
"SPAR Group") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do
not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. This financial information
should be read in conjunction with the combined financial statements and notes
thereto for the Company as contained in Form 10-K and 10K/A (Amendments I & II)
for the year ended December 31, 1999. The results of operations for the interim
periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the year.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
CONSOLIDATION/COMBINATION
Through July 8, 1999, the combined financial statements include
operating companies owned by the same two stockholders (the "SPAR Companies").
On July 8, 1999, the SPAR Companies reorganized and completed a "reverse" merger
with the PIA Companies (see Note 3). From July 8, 1999, the consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of the SPAR Group, Inc. and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries.
PRO FORMA EARNINGS PER SHARE
Pro forma basic earnings per share amounts are based upon the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding. Pro forma diluted earnings per
share amounts are based upon the weighted average number of common and potential
common shares for each period represented. Potential common shares include stock
options, using the treasury stock method. The pro forma basic and pro forma
diluted earnings per share amounts for periods prior to July 8, 1999 are based
upon 12,655,000 shares, although these shares were issued on July 9, 1999, as
required to comply with SFAS No. 128 and the Securities and Exchange Commission
Staff Accounting Bulletin 98 (SAB 98).
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB")
issued SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities, which the Company is required to adopt effective in its fiscal year
2000. SFAS No. 133 will require the Company to record all derivatives on the
balance sheet at fair value. The Company does not currently engage in hedging
activities and will continue to evaluate the effect of adopting SFAS No. 133.
The Company is expected to adopt SFAS No. 133 in its fiscal year 2000.

RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain amounts presented for the period ended June 30, 1999 have been
reclassified to conform to the 2000 presentations.
3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
MCI ACQUISITION
On January 15, 1999, SPAR Performance Group, Inc. ("SPGI"), acquired
substantially all the business and assets (the "MCI Acquisition") of BIMA Group,
Inc., a Texas corporation formerly known as MCI Performance Group, Inc. ("MCI"),
pursuant to their Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of December 23, 1998, as
amended (the "MCI Purchase Agreement"). The transaction was accounted for as a
purchase and consisted of consideration of $1.8 million cash, an $8.8 million
note (as amended) payable to MCI (the "MCI Note") and the assumption of certain
agreed-upon liabilities (the "MCI Purchase Price").
The MCI Purchase Price was allocated to the assets acquired by SPGI as
agreed upon in a schedule to the MCI Purchase Agreement, which generally used
their respective carrying values, as these carrying values were deemed to
represent fair market values of those assets and liabilities.
The total purchase consideration does not reflect contingent
consideration related to earn-out arrangements included in the MCI Purchase
Agreement. The MCI Purchase Agreement provides for a post-closing adjustment
whereby additional contingent consideration will be payable to MCI in the event
that earnings before taxes for the year ended March 31, 1999 (as defined in the
MCI Purchase Agreement) exceed $3.5 million. The Company has determined that
there is no additional earn-out consideration to be paid.
The excess purchase price paid by SPGI for the business and assets of
MCI over the fair value of those assets was $13 million, subject to change from
the contingent earn-out arrangement, and is being amortized using the
straight-line method over 15 years.
PIA REVERSE MERGER
On July 8, 1999, SG Acquisition, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("PIA
Acquisition"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of PIA Merchandising Services, Inc., a
Delaware corporation ("PIA Delaware"), merged into and with SPAR Acquisition,
Inc., a Nevada corporation ("SAI") (the "Merger") pursuant to the Agreement and
Plan of Merger dated as of February 28, 1999, as amended (the "Merger
Agreement"), by and among (i) PIA Delaware, PIA Merchandising Co., Inc., a
California corporation ("PIA California"), and PIA Acquisition (collectively,
the "PIA Parties"), and (ii) SAI, SPAR Marketing, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("SMI"), SPAR Marketing Force, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("SMF"), SPAR
Marketing, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("SMNEV"), SPAR, Inc., a Nevada
corporation ("SINC"), SPAR/Burgoyne Retail Services, Inc., an Ohio corporation
("SBRS"), SPAR Incentive Marketing, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("SIM"), SPAR
Performance Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("SPGI") and SPAR Trademarks,
Inc., a Nevada corporation ("STM") (each a "SPAR Company" and collectively, the
"SPAR Companies").
PIA Delaware (pre-Merger only), PIA California and each of the PIA
California's direct and indirect subsidiaries (i.e., Pacific Indoor Display Co.,
Inc., a California corporation ("Pacific"), Pivotal Sales Company, a California
corporation ("Pivotal") and PIA Merchandising Limited, a corporation organized
under the laws of Nova

SPAR Group, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
(unaudited) (continued)
Scotia ("PIA Canada"), may be referred to individually as a "PIA Company" and
collectively as the "PIA Companies."
In connection with the Merger, PIA Delaware changed its name to SPAR
Group, Inc. (which will be referred to post-Merger individually as "SGI" or the
"Company"). Although the SPAR Companies became subsidiaries of PIA Delaware (now
SGI) as a result of this "reverse" Merger, the transaction has been accounted
for as required under generally accepted accounting principles as a purchase by
the SPAR Companies of the PIA Companies, with the books and records of SGI being
adjusted to reflect the historical operating results of the SPAR Companies.
In the transaction, the former shareholders and optionholders of SAI
received approximately 12.7 million shares of common stock and 134,114 common
stock options, respectively. The purchase price of approximately $12.3 million
has been allocated based on the estimated fair value of the assets of the PIA
Companies deemed for accounting purposes to have been acquired by the SPAR
Companies.
The goodwill that resulted from the Merger was calculated after giving
effect to the merger costs of the PIA Companies totaling $2.4 million and the
anticipated restructuring costs that are directly related to the Merger totaling
$7.4 million (see Note 5, below). The excess purchase price deemed paid by the
SPAR Companies for the assets of the PIA Companies over the fair value of those
assets was $11.7 million and is being amortized using the straight-line method
over 15 years.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS - RESULTS AS IF THE ACQUISITIONS HAD OCCURRED ON JANUARY
1, 1999
In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the
operating results of SPGI and the PIA Companies have been included in the
condensed consolidated statements of operations from the dates of the respective
acquisitions. The unaudited results below (not included in the consolidated and
combined financial statements) are computed on a pro forma basis as if the
acquisitions occurred at the beginning of each of the periods ended June 30,
2000 and 1999 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

amortization of goodwill, interest expense, increases in bonuses to new SPGI
management and provisions for federal and state income taxes.
The above pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of what
actually would have occurred if the acquisitions had been completed as of the
beginning of each of the periods presented, nor are they necessarily indicative
of future consolidated results.

4. SEGMENTS
Utilizing the management approach, the SPAR Group has broken down its
business based upon the nature of services provided (i.e., merchandising
services and incentive marketing services). The Merchandising Services Division
consists of SMI (an intermediate holding company), SMF, SMNEV, SBRS and SINC
(collectively, the "SPAR Marketing Companies") and the PIA Companies (see Note
3). The Incentive Marketing Division consists of each of SIM (an intermediate
holding company) and SPGI (see Note 3). Merchandising services generally consist
of regularly scheduled, routed services provided at the stores for a specific
retailer or multiple manufacturers primarily under multiple year contracts.
Services also include stand-alone large scale implementations. These services
may include activities such as ensuring that clients' products authorized for
distribution are in stock and on the shelf, adding in new products that are
approved for distribution but not present on the shelf, setting category shelves
in accordance with approved store schematics, ensuring that shelf tags are in
place, checking for the overall salability of clients' products, selling new
product and promotional items. Specific in-store services can be initiated by
retailers and manufacturers, such as new product launches, special seasonal or
promotional merchandising, focused product support and product recalls. These
services are used typically for large-scale implementations over 30 days. The
Merchandising Services Division of the SPAR Group also performs other project
services, such as new store sets and existing store resets, re-merchandising,
remodels and category implementations, multi-year shared service contracts or
stand-alone project contracts.
The Incentive Marketing Division generally consists of designing and
implementing premium incentives, managing group meetings and group travel for
corporate clients throughout the United States. These services may include
providing a variety of consulting, creative, program administrative, travel and
merchandise fulfillment services to companies seeking to motivate employees,
salespeople, dealers, distributors, retailers and consumers toward certain
action or objectives. The following table presents segment information (in
thousands):

5. Restructuring and Other Charges
In connection with the PIA Merger, the Company's Board of Directors
approved a plan to restructure the operations of the PIA Companies.
Restructuring costs are composed of committed costs required to integrate the
SPAR Companies and the PIA Companies' field organizations and the consolidation
of administrative functions to achieve beneficial synergies and costs savings.
The SPAR Group recognized termination costs in accordance with EITF
95-3, Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Business Combination.
The following table displays a roll-forward of the liabilities for
restructuring and other charges from December 31, 1999 to June 30, 2000 (in

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
- --------------------------
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes "forward-looking

OVERVIEW
- --------
The Company provides merchandising services to manufacturers and
retailers principally in mass merchandiser, chain, discount drug and grocery
stores through its Merchandising Services Division. In addition, the SPAR
Group's Incentive Marketing Division designs and implements premium incentives,
manages group meetings and group travel for corporate clients. In March 2000,
the Company established its Internet Division to separately market its
applications, software products and services. Although such products and
services were in part available through the Company's other divisions prior to
the establishment of the Internet Division, the historical revenues and expenses
related to such software products and services generally were not maintained
separately and have been included below in the discussion of the condition and
results of the Merchandising Services Division and Incentive Marketing Division.
According to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, upon an
acquisition, the acquired company's results of operations are not included in
the acquirer's results of operations prior to the date of acquisition. The SPAR
companies acquired substantially all of the assets of BIMA on January 16, 1999
(the "MCI Acquisition"). (See Notes 2 and 3 to the Condensed Financial
Statements). Under GAAP, the SPAR/PIA merger completed on July 9, 1999 was
deemed to be an acquisition of PIA by SPAR. (See Notes 2 and 3 to the Condensed
Financial Statements). Therefore, the following discussions include only the
results of SPGI subsequent to January 15, 1999 and the results of PIA subsequent
to July 8, 1999.

SPAR Group, Inc.
During the third quarter of 1999, the SPAR Group restructured its
operations by integrating the SPAR Marketing Companies and the PIA Companies'
field organizations and consolidating administrative functions where possible to
achieve beneficial synergies and cost savings. Significant cost savings were
achieved during the third and fourth quarters of 1999 and the first and
second quarters of 2000.

======== ====== ======= ====== ======
Net revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 increased from the
comparable period of 1999 principally due to the acquisition of the PIA
Companies. All the net revenues of the PIA Companies were included in the
quarter ended June 30, 2000 with no comparable PIA revenues in the quarter ended
June 30, 1999. For the second quarter of 2000, net revenues were $28.3 million
compared to $19.9 million in the second quarter of 1999, a 42.2% increase.
Merchandising services net revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2000
were $21.9 million, compared to $9.7 million in the quarter ended June 30, 1999,
a 125.8% increase. The increase in net revenues is primarily attributed to the
inclusion of $10.8 million of net revenues of the PIA Companies' merchandising
operations. In addition, the SPAR Companies merchandising net revenues increased
by $1.4 million due to additional customers.
Incentive marketing net revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2000
were $6.4 million, compared to $10.2 million for the quarter ended June 30,
1999, a reduction of 37.3% primarily due to a decrease in project revenue.

Cost of revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999
were $19.2 million and $14.1 million respectively, a 36.2% increase. Cost of
revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 was 67.8% of net revenues compared
to 70.7% in 1999.
Merchandising services cost of revenues was 62.6% of net revenues for
the quarter ended June 30, 2000 compared to 54.9% in 1999. The increase in cost
of revenues, as a percentage of net revenues, in the quarter ended June 30, 2000
over 1999 is primarily attributable to the higher labor cost structure of the
PIA Companies field organization. SPAR Group, Inc. has taken steps to control
and improve gross profits and has implemented synergy plans to control direct
costs. (See Restructuring and Other Charges, Note 5 to the Condensed Financial
Statements).
Incentive marketing cost of revenues, as a percentage of net revenues,
for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 was 85.6%, consistent with 1999.

======== ===== ======== ===== ======
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 52.0% in the
first quarter of 2000 to $7.6 million compared to $5.0 million in the same
period of 1999. This increase was primarily due to the inclusion of the PIA
Companies general and administrative costs for the quarter totaling $2.4 million
with no comparable PIA expenses in the quarter ended June 30, 1999.
15
SPAR Group, Inc.
Depreciation and amortization increased by $0.5 million in the second
quarter of 2000 due primarily to the amortization of goodwill recognized by the
acquisition of the PIA Companies, the MCI acquisition by the SPAR Group and the
depreciation related to capitalized software development costs.
OTHER EXPENSES
- --------------
Interest expense increased slightly in the second quarter of 2000 due
to higher weighted average borrowing rates in 2000, partially offset by lower
borrowing needs.
ACTUAL/PRO FORMA INCOME TAXES
- -----------------------------
The income tax provision in the second quarter of 2000 represents a
combined federal and state income tax rate of 45.9%. The pro forma income tax
provision in the second quarter of 1999 is computed using a combined federal and
state income tax rate of 37.0% of taxable income.
ACTUAL/PRO FORMA NET INCOME
- ---------------------------
The SPAR Group had net income of $0.1 million in the second quarter of
2000 or $0.01 per basic and diluted share compared to pro forma net loss of $0.2
million or $(0.02) per pro forma basic and diluted share in the corresponding
period in 1999.

income tax provision in the second quarter of 1999 is computed using a combined
federal and state income tax rate of 36.9% of taxable income.
ACTUAL/PRO FORMA NET INCOME
- ---------------------------
The SPAR Group had net income of $0.5 million in the six months ended
June 30, 2000 or $0.03 per basic and diluted share compared to pro forma net
income of $1.0 million or $0.08 per pro forma basic and diluted share in the
corresponding period in 1999.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
In the six months ended June 30, 2000, the SPAR Group had pre-tax
income of $0.9 million and experienced a positive operating cash flow of $2.0
million. As previously noted, the Merger with PIA was consummated on July 8,
1999. The Merger has reduced fixed costs and created synergies directly
impacting the SPAR Group's profitability and cash flow.
The SPAR Group experienced a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents
of $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. With the existing
revolving line of credit, subject to availability, timely collection of
receivables, and the SPAR Group's current working capital position, management
believes that liquidity and capital resources over the next twelve months will
be sufficient to maintain ongoing operations.
DEBT
- ----
In 1999, IBJ Whitehall and the members of the SPAR Group (other than
PIA Canada) (collectively, the "Borrowers") entered into a Revolving Credit,
Term Loan and Security Agreement (the "Bank Loan Agreement"). The Bank Loan
Agreement as amended allows Borrowers to borrow up to a maximum of $15 million
on a revolving credit basis, and $2.5 million on a term basis (the "Term Loan").
The revolving loans bear interest at IBJ Whitehall's "Alternate Base Rate" plus
one-half of one percent (0.50%) (a total of 10.00% per annum at June 30, 2000),
and the Term Loan bears interest at such "Alternate Base Rate" plus
three-quarters of one percent (0.75%) (a total of 10.25% per annum at June 30,
2000). The Bank Loan Agreement's revolving credit loan of $15.0 million is
scheduled to mature on September 21, 2002. The Term Loan amortizes in equal
monthly installments of $83,334 each. In addition, the Borrowers are required to
make mandatory prepayments in an amount equal to 25% of Excess Cash Flow, as
defined in the Bank Loan Agreement, for each fiscal year, to be applied first to
the Term Loan and then to the revolving credit loans (subject to the Borrowers'
ability to re-borrow revolving advances in accordance with the terms of the Bank
Loan Agreement). The facility is secured with the assets of the SPAR Group.
The Bank Loan Agreement contains an option for the Bank to purchase
16,667 shares of common stock of the Company for $0.01 per share in the event
that the Company's average closing share price over ten consecutive trading day
period exceeds $15.00 per share. This option expires September 22, 2002.
The Bank Loan Agreement contains certain financial covenants that must
be met by the Borrowers on a consolidated basis, among which are a minimum "Net
Worth," a "Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio", a minimum ratio of Debt to EBITDA, and
a minimum EBITDA, as such terms are defined in the Bank Loan Agreement.
The balance outstanding on the revolving line of credit was $11.6
million and $13.3 million at June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively.
As of June 30, 2000, the SPAR Group had unused availability under the line of
credit to borrow up to an additional $3.4 million.

SPAR Group, Inc.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
- -------------------------
Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June
30, 2000, of $2.0 million compared with a net cash used of $2.3 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1999.
Net cash provided from investing activities for the six months ended
June 30, 2000, was $0.4 million, compared with a net cash use of $0.2 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1999. Net cash provided from investing
activities for the six months ended June 30, 2000, was primarily due to a sale
of an investment offset by purchases of property and equipment.
Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30,
2000, was $3.4 million, compared with net cash provided by financing activities
of $2.1 for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The net cash used in financing
activities for the six months ended June 30, 2000, was primarily due to the
payment of the MCI Note payable as well as further reductions of other long-term
debt.
The above activity resulted in a net decrease in cash and cash
equivalents of $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000, compared to
a net decrease of $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999.
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $1.0 million at June 30, 2000,
compared with $2.1 million at December 31, 1999. At June 30, 2000, the Company
had negative working capital of $1.0 million as compared to negative working
capital at December 31, 1999 of $0.6 million, and current ratios of 1.0 and 1.0
as of June 30, 2000, and December 31, 1999, respectively.
Cash and cash equivalents and the timely collection of its receivables
provide the SPAR Group's current liquidity. However, the potential of delays in
collection of receivables due from any of the SPAR Group's major clients, or a
significant reduction in business from such clients, or the inability to acquire
new clients, would have a material adverse effect on the SPAR Group's cash
resources and its ongoing ability to fund operations.
At June 30, 2000, The SPAR Group is obligated, under certain
circumstances, to pay severance compensation to its employees and other costs in
connection with the Merger of approximately $4.4 million. In addition, the
Company incurred substantial cost in connection with the transaction, including
legal, accounting and investment banking fees estimated to be an aggregate
unpaid obligation of approximately $1.5 million. The SPAR Group has also accrued
approximately $1.4 million for expenses incurred by PIA prior to the Merger,
which have not been paid. Management believes the current bank credit facilities
are sufficient to fund operations and working capital, including the current
maturities of debt obligations, but may not be sufficient to reduce obligations
of the Merger with PIA. The Company is currently negotiating with its bank for
an increase in its credit facility to meet the non-operational credit needs and
is also working to secure additional long-term capital. However, there can be no
assurances that the Company will be successful in these negotiations.
Certain former principal stockholders of the SPAR Companies each made
loans to certain SPAR Companies in the aggregate amount of $4.3 million to
facilitate the acquisition of the assets of MCI. These stockholders also were
owed $1.9 million in unpaid distributions relating to the former status of
20
certain of the operating SPAR Companies as Subchapter S Corporations. Those
amounts were converted into promissory notes issued to these certain
stockholders severally by SMF, SINC and SPGI prior to the Merger, which
aggregated $6.2 million. As of June 30, 2000, a total of $5.7 million remained
outstanding under these notes.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
The SPAR Group is exposed to market risk related to the variable
interest rate on the line of credit and term note and the variable yield on its
cash and cash equivalents. The SPAR Group's accounting policies for financial
instruments and disclosures relating to financial instruments require that the
SPAR Group's consolidated balance sheets include the following financial
instruments: cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable
and long term debt. The SPAR Group considers carrying amounts of current assets
and liabilities in the condensed consolidated financial statements to
approximate the fair value for these financial instruments, because of the
relatively short period of time between origination of the instruments and their
expected realization. The carrying amounts of long-term debt approximate fair
value because the obligation bears interest at a floating rate. The SPAR Group
monitors the risks associated with interest rates and financial instrument
positions. The SPAR Group's investment policy objectives require the
preservation and safety of the principal, and the maximization of the return on
investment based upon the safety and liquidity objectives.
The SPAR Group's revenue derived from international operations is not
material and, therefore, the risk related to foreign currency exchange rates is
not material.
Investment Portfolio
The SPAR Group has no derivative financial instruments or derivative
commodity instruments in its cash and cash equivalents and investments. The SPAR
Group invests its cash and cash equivalents in investments in high-quality and
highly liquid investments consisting of taxable money market instruments.
PART II: OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
On September 23, 1999, Information Leasing Corporation ("ILC") filed a
complaint for breach of contracts, claim and delivery, and conversion against
the Company in Orange County Superior Court, Santa Ana, California, Case No.
814820, with respect to certain equipment leased to the PIA Companies by ILC,
which complaint sought judgment to recover the principal sum of $1,535,869.68,
plus taxes, fees, liens, and late charges, immediate possession of the leased
equipment, compensation for the reasonable value thereof, and costs and
attorneys' fees. The Company is currently attempting to negotiate a settlement.
Pursuant to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of December
22, 1998, among BIMA Group, Inc. (f/k/a MCI Performance Group, Inc.) ("BIMA"),
John H. Wile, SPAR Performance Group, Inc.(f/k/a SPAR MCI Performance Group,
Inc.) ("SPGI"), and a company formerly known as SPAR
21
SPAR Group, Inc.
Group, Inc., as amended by the First Amendment thereto dated as of January 15,
1999, Second Amendment dated as of September 22, 1999 (the "Second Amendment"),
and Third Amendment dated as of October 1, 1999 (the "Third Amendment"), SPGI
would be obligated to pay "Earn-Out Consideration" to BIMA if BIMA met certain
financial performance criteria as set forth therein. SPGI has fully paid the
amount outstanding under the Promissory Note pursuant to the Asset Purchase
Agreement with respect to the original purchase price, as adjusted by the Second
Amendment. Based upon the unaudited balance sheet of BIMA as of January 15,
1999, SPGI estimates that no "Earn-Out Consideration" is due to BIMA. BIMA has
asserted that it is owed approximately $5,000,000 in Earn-Out Consideration, but
such Earn-Out Consideration calculation has not been agreed to by SPGI. If the
parties cannot agree upon such amount, BIMA has threatened that legal
proceedings may ensue with respect to this matter. If sued, SPGI would
vigorously contest such matter. SPGI and BIMA intend to continue negotiations,
and have orally agreed to use arbitrators (assuming mutually acceptable
procedures can be adopted), in order to resolve such "Earn-Out Consideration"
dispute.
