 CASTLE ROCK, Colo. – Where Food Comes From, Inc. (d.b.a. IMI Global, Inc.) (OTCQB: WFCF), the most trusted resource for third-party verification of food production practices, today announced results for its second quarter and six-month period ended June 30, 2014.
 
“We are pleased to report record revenue and a return to profitability in the second quarter,” said John Saunders, chairman and CEO.  “Over the past three quarters we have achieved year over year revenue growth of 39%, 34% and 53%, respectively. This reflects a combination of organic growth and the continued execution of our M&A strategy, which has dramatically increased the number of food producers we serve. Based on growing consumer demand for transparency in food production practices as well as increased regulatory requirements placed on food producers, we anticipate demand for our expanding portfolio of verification solutions to grow as well, and we look forward to a strong finish to 2014.”
 
Second Quarter Results
Total second quarter revenue increased 53% to $1,901,600 from revenue of $1,240,800 in the same quarter last year. Verification services revenue was up 52% to $1,619,500 from $1,063,600.

Other revenue, primarily associated with the Company’s Where Food Comes From labeling program, increased 45% to $46,100 from $25,300 year over year. The increased verification and hardware revenue resulted from significant year-over-year growth in the number producer customers served by the Company. Growth in Where Food Comes From labeling revenue resulted primarily from expansion of the program within the Company’s large grocery customer, Heinen’s Fine Foods.
