Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Where Food Comes From, Inc. (WFCF) filed Amendment No. 2 to its annual report for the year ended December 31, 2025 to replace the Controls and Procedures section and newly disclose a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting related to lease accounting under FASB ASC 842. Management and the auditor identified that a November 21, 2025 lease amendment with The Move, LLC, which shortened the lease term to December 31, 2027, was improperly accounted for, causing a material overstatement of right of use assets and other income. Management concluded that disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting were not effective as of December 31, 2025, but states the financial statements fairly present the company’s financial position and that no material misstatements have been identified. The company reports that it has remediated the weakness by properly applying ASC 842 and plans to consider using additional experts for rare or non-routine transactions.

Positive

  • Material weakness remediated and no material misstatements found: Management states the ASC 842 lease-accounting weakness has been remediated and reports that no material misstatements were identified in the 2025 consolidated financial statements despite the control issue.

Negative

  • Material weakness in internal control over financial reporting: Controls over lease accounting under FASB ASC 842 were ineffective as of December 31, 2025, leading to material overstatements of right of use assets and other income and a conclusion that disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

Filing Explained

The amendment changes control disclosure, not the reported financial statements; no independent auditor attestation of internal controls is included.

This Amendment No. 2 is limited to replacing and updating Item 9A, and states that no other parts of the annual report are changed.

Accordingly, the filing changes the disclosed status of internal controls rather than presenting a new financial-statement update.

The annual report includes management’s internal-control report but no attestation report from the independent registered public accounting firm.

The filing therefore provides management’s assessment without an auditor attestation on internal controls.

material weakness financial
"identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting"
A material weakness is a significant flaw in the systems and checks a company uses to ensure its financial reports are accurate, meaning errors or fraud could happen and not be caught. For investors it matters because it raises the risk that reported results are unreliable—similar to finding a hole in a ship’s hull—potentially leading to corrected financials, regulatory action, reduced trust, and negative effects on stock value and borrowing costs.
internal control over financial reporting financial
"material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting"
Internal control over financial reporting is a company’s system of procedures and checks designed to make sure its financial statements are accurate and complete, like a set of guardrails and verification steps that catch mistakes or fraud before numbers are published. Investors care because strong controls make reported results more trustworthy, lower the risk of surprise restatements or regulatory problems, and give greater confidence when valuing the company or comparing it to peers.
FASB ASC 842 (Leases) financial
"a material weakness existed with respect to management’s improper application of FASB ASC 842 (Leases)"
right of use assets financial
"resulted in the material overstatement of right of use assets and a material overstatement"
A right-of-use asset is the value recorded on a company’s balance sheet that represents its contracted right to use a rented item—like office space, equipment, or vehicles—for a set period. Investors care because recognizing these assets (and the matching lease obligations) changes reported assets, debt levels, profitability metrics and cash-flow presentation, similar to how switching from short-term renting to showing a long-term commitment would alter a household’s financial snapshot.
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) financial
"used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO)"
disclosure controls and procedures financial
"concluded, as a result of the material weaknesses, that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective"
Policies, routines and internal checks a public company uses to identify, collect and verify information that must appear in its financial reports and public filings, and to make sure that material news is disclosed accurately and on time. Investors care because effective controls increase confidence that the company’s reported numbers and disclosures are reliable and reduce the risk of surprises, much like a building’s inspection and alarm system helps occupants trust the structure’s safety.

FAQ

What did WFCF disclose in Amendment No. 2 to its 2025 Form 10-K?

The amendment replaces the Controls and Procedures section to disclose a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting related to lease accounting under FASB ASC 842 and to provide updated Sarbanes-Oxley Section 302 officer certifications.

What was the material weakness in WFCF’s internal controls for 2025?

The weakness involved improper application of FASB ASC 842 (Leases) to a November 21, 2025 lease amendment with The Move, LLC, which shortened the lease term. This caused material overstatements of right of use assets and other income for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Were WFCF’s 2025 financial statements misstated due to the control weakness?

Management states that, despite the material weakness, additional analyses and procedures were performed and no material misstatements were identified, and that the 2025 consolidated financial statements fairly present the company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Has WFCF remediated the internal control weakness disclosed in this 10-K/A?

Yes. Management reports that it has remediated the material weakness by properly applying FASB ASC 842 to the lease amendment and will consider using additional experts for rare, unusual and non-routine transactions in the future.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

The purpose of this Amendment No. 2 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 26, 2026, is solely for the purpose of amending and updating Part II, Item 9A “Controls and Procedures” of the Original Filing in its entirety, which inadvertently failed to disclose a Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting and Remediation Plan for the year ended December 31, 2025.

 

In addition, pursuant to Rule 12b-15 under the Exchange Act, this Amendment No. 2 also contains new certifications pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which are attached hereto.

 

Except as described above, no other changes are being made to the Original Filing. Further, except as expressly stated, this Amendment No. 2 does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original Filing or modify or update in any way any of the other items or disclosures contained in the Original Filing, including, without limitation, the consolidated financial statements and the related footnotes. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 2 should be read in conjunction with the Original Filing and the Company’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) subsequent to the filing of the Original Filing.

 

 
 

 

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that our management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive and financial officers concluded, as a result of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting discussed below, that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2025. However, we believe that the financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

 

Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting and Remediation Plan

 

In connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, we and our independent registered public accounting firm identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

The Company’s internal controls over financial reporting were not considered effective as of December 31, 2025, due to the following material weakness.

 

In February 2026, management concluded that a material weakness existed with respect to management’s improper application of FASB ASC 842 (Leases). On November 21, 2025, Where Food Comes From, Inc. amended its lease with The Move, LLC, effectively shortening the term of the lease from an anticipated end date of July 31, 2031 (including options to renew) to a contractual lease term through December 31, 2027. An improper application of FASB ASC 842 (Leases) resulted in the material overstatement of right of use assets and a material overstatement of other income for the year ended December 31, 2025. Since such time, management has remediated the material weakness by properly applying FASB ASC 842 and will consider the use of additional experts in the future to assist in interpretation of Accounting Standards to the extent necessary when dealing with rare, unusual and non-routine transactions.

 

In light of this material weaknesses, in preparing our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, we performed additional analyses and procedures to ensure that our consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-K have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. There have been no material misstatements identified in the financial statements as a result of these deficiencies.

 

 
 

 

Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

 

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements and can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

The changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2025, that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting are described above under the heading “Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting and Remediation Plan.”

 

Except as described above, there have not been any other changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013).
