Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The interim consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Wilhelmina International, Inc. (“Wilhelmina” or the “Company”) and subsidiaries without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Although certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, all adjustments considered necessary in order to make the consolidated financial statements not misleading have been included. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, of a normal recurring nature, that are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for such periods. It is recommended that these interim unaudited consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, as amended. Results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim periods or the full fiscal year.

Note 2. Business Activity

Overview

The Company’s primary business is fashion model management, which is headquartered in New York City. The Company’s predecessor was founded in 1967 by Wilhelmina Cooper, a renowned fashion model, and is one of the oldest, best known and largest fashion model management companies in the world. Since its founding, Wilhelmina has grown to include operations located in Los Angeles and Miami, as well as a growing network of licensees comprising leading modeling agencies in various local markets across the U.S. as well as in Panama, Thailand and Dubai. Wilhelmina provides traditional, full-service fashion model and talent management services, specializing in the representation and management of models, entertainers, artists, athletes and other talent to various customers and clients, including retailers, designers, advertising agencies and catalog companies.

Note 3. Line of Credit

On April 29, 2011, the Company closed a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) for a new $500,000 revolving credit facility with Amegy Bank National Association (“Amegy”). Borrowings under the facility are to be used for working capital and other general business purposes of the Company.

On January 12, 2012, the Company executed and closed an amendment (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”) to its revolving Credit Agreement with Amegy. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement Amendment, which was effective as of January 1, 2012, (1) total availability under the revolving credit facility was increased to $1,500,000 (from $500,000), (2) the borrowing base was modified to 65% (from 80%) of eligible accounts receivable (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and (3) the Company's minimum net worth covenant was increased to $21,250,000 (from $20,000,000). In addition, the maturity date of the facility was extended to December 31, 2012. The parties also executed an amendment to their pledge and security agreement ("Security Agreement Amendment") to reflect the execution of the Credit Agreement Amendment. The Company's obligation to repay advances under the amended facility is evidenced by an amended and restated promissory note.

On October 24, 2012, the Company executed and closed the second amendment (the “Second Credit Agreement Amendment”) to its revolving Credit Agreement with Amegy, which amended and replaced the terms amended by the Credit Agreement Amendment. Under the terms of the Second Credit Agreement Amendment, (1) total availability under the revolving credit facility was increased to $5,000,000 (from $1,500,000), (2) the borrowing base was modified to 75% (from 65%) of eligible accounts receivable (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and (3) the Company’s minimum net worth covenant was increased to $22,000,000 (from $21,250,000). In addition, the maturity date of the facility was extended to October 15, 2015 (from December 31, 2012). The Company’s obligation to repay advances under the amended facility is evidenced by a second amended and restated promissory note (the “Second Amended and Restated Promissory Note”). Under the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Promissory Note, the interest rate on borrowings was reduced to the prime rate plus 1% (from prime plus 2%) and a minimum interest rate (formerly 5%) was eliminated.

As of May 14, 2013, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $1,500,000 under the Credit Agreement.

Note 4. Restricted Cash

At March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012, the Company had approximately $222,000 of restricted cash that serves as collateral for the full amount of an irrevocable standby letter of credit. The letter of credit serves as additional security under the lease extension relating to the Company’s office space in New York that expires in February 2021.

Note 5. Licensing Agreements and Deferred Revenue

The Company is a party to various contracts by virtue of its relationship with certain talent. The various contracts contain terms and conditions which require the revenue and the associated talent cost to be recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract period. The Company is also a party to product licensing agreements with a talent it previously represented. Under the product licensing agreements, the Company will either earn a commission based on a certain percentage of the royalties earned by the talent or earn royalties from the licensee that is based on a certain percentage of net sales, as defined. The Company recognized revenue from product licensing agreements of approximately $72,000 and $240,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

During April 2012, the Company reached an agreement with a former talent with respect to the modification of payment direction terms under various contracts negotiated by the Company between such talent, certain customers and, in some cases, the Company. In connection with such modifications (which did not change amounts to which the Company is entitled in respect of such agreements), the Company and the former talent also executed mutual obligation releases relating to the parties’ former representation arrangements. In connection with the foregoing contracts, the Company was carrying deferred revenues of approximately $716,000 (of which approximately $61,000 were scheduled to be recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2013 in the absence of agreement), all of which were recognized during April 2012.

Note 6. Commitments and Contingencies

On May 2, 2012, Sean Patterson (“Patterson”), the former President of the Company's subsidiary, Wilhelmina International, Ltd. (“Wilhelmina International”), filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, against the Company, Wilhelmina International and Mark Schwarz, the Company’s Chairman of the Board, alleging, among other things, breach of Patterson’s expired employment agreement with Wilhelmina International, the invalidity and unenforceability of the non-competition and non-solicitation provisions contained in the employment agreement and defamation. Patterson is also seeking a declaration that the employment agreement, including the non-competition and non-solicitation provisions contained therein, are terminated and unenforceable against him. The Company believes these claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself.

In October 2012, two subsidiaries of the Company received a Summons with Notice in connection with a purported class action lawsuit. According to the Notice accompanying the Summons, the purported claims arise out of, among other things, the handling and reporting of funds on behalf of models and the use of model images. Two of the Company's subsidiaries, along with a number of other model management companies, advertising firms and others, are named as defendants. The Company believes these claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself.

In addition to the legal proceedings otherwise disclosed herein, the Company is also engaged in various legal proceedings that are routine in nature and incidental to its business. None of these routine proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, are believed, in the Company's opinion, to have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or its results of operations.

As of March 31, 2013, a number of the Company’s employees were covered by employment agreements that vary in length from one to three years. As of March 31, 2013, total compensation payable under the remaining contractual term of these agreements was approximately $2,800,000. In addition, the employment agreements contain non-compete provisions ranging from six months to one year following the term of the applicable agreement. Therefore subject to certain exceptions, as of March 31, 2013, invoking the non-compete provisions would require the Company to compensate additional amounts to the covered employees during the non-compete period in the amount of approximately $2,190,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company paid compensation costs of approximately $0 and $95,000, respectively, in connection with certain non-compete and contractual arrangements of former employees.

During 2010, the Company received IRS notices totaling approximately $726,000 related to foreign withholding claims for tax years 2006 and 2008. As part of settlement negotiations with the IRS, the Company determined that approximately $197,000 of the foreign withholding claim for 2008 related to tax liabilities which the Company assumed upon its acquisition of Wilhelmina International and its affiliates in February 2009 (the “Wilhelmina Acquisition”). To satisfy this liability, the Company paid the IRS, including penalties and interest of $26,000, a total of $223,000 during the year ended December 31, 2011. Since this amount was previously accrued as a liability at the Wilhelmina Acquisition date, no adjustment was required.

As of December 31, 2012, the Company’s estimate of the foreign withholding claims for tax years 2006 and 2008 was approximately $428,000, which includes approximately $88,000 of additional interest and penalties incurred since June 2010 when the IRS notices were received.

During February 2013, the IRS division of Appeals concluded that there was no basis for abatement of the 2006 and 2008 foreign withholding claims, within the protective framework of reasonable cause, and therefore, closed the case. During March 2013, the Company paid approximately $454,000 in settlement of the foreign withholding claims for tax years 2006 and 2008.

The Company is indemnified by certain of the selling parties in the Wilhelmina Acquisition for losses incurred as a result of such deficiency notice, and the selling parties have confirmed such responsibility to the Company. Such indemnification is required to be satisfied in cash and/or, at the election of the Company, by offset to future earn-out payments. As of September 30, 2012, the Company had paid approximately $1,735,000 of the Company’s earn-out obligations relating to operating results of Wilhelmina Miami, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company (“Wilhelmina Miami”), in connection with the Wilhelmina Acquisition (the “Miami Earnout”), with remaining amounts, net of indemnity claims for which the selling parties retained responsibility.

During March 2013, the Company offset approximately $454,000 of the Company’s remaining approximately $509,000 Miami Earnout obligation (as of December 31, 2012) for losses incurred in the settlement of the foreign withholding claims for tax years 2006 and 2008, leaving a balance of approximately $55,000 which is owed under the Miami Earnout obligation.

Note 7. Share Capital

The Company has a shareholder’s rights plan (the “Rights Plan”). The Rights Plan provides for a dividend distribution of one preferred share purchase right (a “Right”) for each outstanding share of Common Stock. The terms of the Rights and the Rights Plan are set forth in a Rights Agreement, dated as of July 10, 2006, as amended, by and between the Company and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., now known as The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Rights Agent (the “Rights Agreement”).

The Company’s Board of Directors adopted the Rights Plan to protect shareholder value by protecting the Company’s ability to realize the benefits of its net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”). In general terms, the Rights Plan imposes a significant penalty upon any person or group that acquires 5% or more of the outstanding Common Stock without the prior approval of the Company’s Board of Directors. Shareholders that own 5% or more of the outstanding Common Stock as of the close of business on the Record Date (as defined in the Rights Agreement) may acquire up to an additional 1% of the outstanding Common Stock without penalty so long as they maintain their ownership above the 5% level (such increase subject to downward adjustment by the Company’s Board of Directors if it determines that such increase will endanger the availability of the Company’s NOLs). In addition, the Company’s Board of Directors has exempted Newcastle Partners, L.P. (“Newcastle”), the Company’s largest shareholder, and may exempt any person or group that owns 5% or more if the Board of Directors determines that the person’s or group’s ownership will not endanger the availability of the Company’s NOLs. A person or group that acquires a percentage of Common Stock in excess of the applicable threshold is called an “Acquiring Person”. Any Rights held by an Acquiring Person are void and may not be exercised. The Company’s Board of Directors authorized the issuance of one Right per each share of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date. If the Rights become exercisable, each Right would allow its holder to purchase from the Company one one-hundredth of a share of the Company’s Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 (the “Preferred Stock”), for a purchase price of $10.00. Each fractional share of Preferred Stock would give the shareholder approximately the same dividend, voting and liquidation rights as does one share of Common Stock. Prior to exercise, however, a Right does not give its holder any dividend, voting or liquidation rights.

Standstill Agreement

On April 24, 2013, the Company and Ronald L. Chez (“Chez”), a shareholder of the Company, entered into a letter agreement (the “Standstill Agreement”), pursuant to which Chez and his Affiliates (as defined in the Standstill Agreement) agreed not to, without the prior approval of the Board of Directors of the Company, (a) beneficially own in excess of 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company nor (b) directly or indirectly, make any proposal or offer to acquire (other than pursuant to a confidential proposal to the Board of Directors of the Company), or agree to acquire or to become the beneficial owner of (i) any shares of Common Stock, (ii) any other securities of the Company convertible, exchangeable or exercisable into shares of Common Stock or (iii) any other voting securities of the Company, which, when added together with any such securities beneficially owned by Chez and his Affiliates immediately prior thereto, would provide Chez and his Affiliates with voting power in the aggregate in excess of 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock.

The Company agreed to, within three (3) business days of the execution of the Standstill Agreement promptly execute (and submit for signature by the Rights Agent) an amendment to the Rights Agreement, which amendment provides that Chez shall not be deemed to be an “Acquiring Person” under the Rights Agreement by virtue of (a) the acquisition of shares of Common Stock purchased by Chez and disclosed in the initial Schedule 13D with respect to the Company filed by Chez on March 22, 2013 (the “Initial Chez 13D”) or (b) the acquisition of additional shares of Common Stock in one or more purchases which in the aggregate, when added together with the shares of Common Stock reflected in the Initial Chez 13D, do not exceed 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock.

The restrictions set forth in the Standstill Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of sixty (60) days following the expiration of the Rights Agreement or the earlier termination of the Rights Agreement (including pursuant to a redemption of the outstanding rights in accordance therewith) by the Company.

Amendment to Rights Agreement

On April 25, 2013, the Company entered into a Thirteenth Amendment (the “Thirteenth Amendment”) to the Rights Agreement. The Thirteenth Amendment, among other things, (i) amends the definition of Acquiring Person (as defined in the Rights Agreement) to provide that Chez shall not be deemed to be an Acquiring Person solely by virtue of (a) purchases by Chez, individually and through individual retirement accounts for his benefit, of shares of Common Stock which resulted in his beneficial ownership exceeding 4.99% of the Common Stock outstanding, as disclosed in the Initial Chez 13D (the “Reported Chez Purchases”) or (b) purchases by Chez, individually or through individual retirement accounts for his benefit, of a number of shares of Common Stock which in the aggregate, when added together with the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Chez as reflected in the Initial Chez 13D (i.e., 6,701,857 shares of common stock), shall not exceed ten million (10,000,000) shares of Common Stock (the “Permitted Additional Chez Purchases”), (ii) amends the definition of Triggering Event (as defined in the Rights Agreement) to provide that no Triggering Event shall result solely by virtue of any Reported Chez Purchases or Permitted Additional Chez Purchases, (iii) provides that a Distribution Date (as defined in the Rights Agreement) shall not be deemed to have occurred solely by virtue of any Reported Chez Purchases or Permitted Additional Chez Purchases and (iv) provides that no Reported Chez Purchases or Permitted Additional Chez Purchases shall be deemed to be events that cause the Rights to become exercisable. The Thirteenth Amendment also provides for certain other conforming and technical amendments to the terms and provisions of the Rights Agreement.

Note 8. Income Taxes

Generally, the Company’s combined effective tax rate is high relative to reported net income as a result of certain amounts of amortization expense and corporate overhead not being deductible or attributable to states in which it operates. Currently, the majority of taxes being paid by the Company are state taxes not federal. The Company operates in three states which have relatively high tax rates, California, New York and Florida. The Company’s combined (federal and state) effective tax rate would be even higher if it were not for federal net operating loss carryforwards available to offset current federal taxable income. As of March 31, 2013, the Company had federal income tax loss carryforwards of approximately $5,000,000, which begin expiring in 2019. Realization of the Company’s carryforwards is dependent on future taxable income. A portion of the Company’s federal net operating loss carryforwards were utilized to offset federal taxable income generated during the three months ended March 31, 2013. A valuation allowance has been recorded to reflect the tax effect of the net loss carryforwards not used to offset a portion of the deferred tax liability resulting from the Wilhelmina Acquisition. Ownership changes, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code, may have limited the amount of net operating loss carryforwards that can be utilized annually to offset future taxable income. Subsequent ownership changes could further affect the limitation in future years.

Note 9. Treasury Stock

During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program, whereby the Company may repurchase up to 10,000,000 shares of its outstanding Common Stock. The shares may be repurchased from time-to-time in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions at prices the Company deems appropriate. The program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of Common Stock and the program may be modified or suspended at any time at the Company’s discretion. The stock repurchase plan will be funded through the Company’s cash on hand and the Credit Agreement.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company repurchased 9,770,991 shares of Common Stock at an average price of approximately $0.126 per share, for a total of $1,227,000. The repurchase of 8,000,000 of the shares during the year ended December 31, 2012 were effected through a broker dealer making a market in the Company’s shares on behalf of an affiliate of the Company. The remaining 1,770,991 shares were repurchased in the open market. The Company did not repurchase any shares of Common Stock during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Note 10. Related Parties

As of March 31, 2013, Mark Schwarz, the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Portfolio Manager of Newcastle Capital Management, L.P. (“NCM”), John Murray, Chief Financial Officer of NCM, and Evan Stone, the former Vice President and General Counsel of NCM, held the following executive officer and board of director positions with the Company: Chairman of the Board and Executive Chairman, Chief Financial Officer, and General Counsel and Secretary, respectively. NCM is the General Partner of Newcastle, which owns 48,614,513 shares of Common Stock.

The Company’s corporate headquarters are located at 200 Crescent Court, Suite 1400, Dallas, Texas 75201, which are also the offices of NCM. The Company occupies a portion of NCM space on a month-to-month basis at $2,500 per month, pursuant to a services agreement entered into between the parties. Pursuant to the services agreement, the Company receives the use of NCM’s facilities and equipment and accounting, legal and administrative services from employees of NCM. The Company incurred expenses pursuant to the services agreement totaling approximately $8,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company owed NCM $0 as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, under the services agreement.

The Company has an agreement with an unconsolidated affiliate to provide management and administrative services, as well as sharing of space. For each of the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, management fee and rental income from the unconsolidated affiliate amounted to approximately $27,000.

On July 31, 2012, the Company effected a repurchase of 8,000,000 shares of Common Stock involving an affiliate (See Note 9).

OVERVIEW

The Company’s primary business is fashion model management, which is headquartered in New York City. The Company’s predecessor was founded in 1967 by Wilhelmina Cooper, a renowned fashion model, and is one of the oldest, best known and largest fashion model management companies in the world. Since its founding, it has grown to include operations located in Los Angeles and Miami, as well as a growing network of licensees comprising leading modeling agencies in various local markets across the U.S., as well as in Panama, Thailand and Dubai. The Company provides traditional, full-service fashion model and talent management services, specializing in the representation and management of models, entertainers, artists, athletes and other talent to various customers and clients, including retailers, designers, advertising agencies and catalog companies.

The business of talent management firms, such as Wilhelmina, depends heavily on the state of the advertising industry, as demand for talent is driven by Internet, print and TV advertising campaigns for consumer goods and retail clients.

Wilhelmina believes it has strong brand recognition which enables it to attract and retain top agents and talent to service a broad universe of clients. In order to take advantage of these opportunities and support its continued growth, the Company will need to continue to successfully allocate resources and staffing in a way that enhances its ability to respond to these new opportunities. The Company continues to focus on cutting costs, recruiting top agents when available and scouting and developing new talent.

Although Wilhelmina has a large and diverse client base, it is not immune to global economic conditions. Wilhelmina closely monitors economic conditions, client spending and other factors and continually looks for ways to reduce costs, manage working capital and conserve cash. There can be no assurance as to the effects on Wilhelmina of future economic circumstances, client spending patterns, client credit worthiness and other developments and whether, or to what extent, Wilhelmina’s efforts to respond to them will be effective.

Trends and Opportunities

The Company expects that the combination of Wilhelmina’s main operating base in New York City, the industry’s capital, with the depth and breadth of its talent pool and client roster and its diversification across various talent management segments, together with its geographical reach should make Wilhelmina’s operations more resilient to industry changes and economic swings than those of many of the smaller firms operating in the industry. Similarly, in the segments where Wilhelmina competes with other leading full service agencies, Wilhelmina competed successfully during the first quarter of 2013.

With total advertising expenditures on major media (newspapers, magazines, television, cinema, outdoor and Internet) amounting to approximately $165 billion in 2011 and $172 billion 2012, North America is by far the world’s largest advertising market. For the fashion talent management industry, including Wilhelmina, advertising expenditures on magazines, television, Internet and outdoor are of particular relevance.

Strategy

Management’s strategy is to increase value to shareholders through the following initiatives:

• develop Wilhelmina into a global brand;

• expand the women’s high end fashion board;

• expand the Wilhelmina Artist Management LLC (“WAM”) business;

• strategic acquisitions;

• licensing the “Wilhelmina” name to leading model management agencies;

• licensing the “Wilhelmina” brand in connection with consumer products, cosmetics and other beauty products;

• promoting model search contests, and events and partnering on media projects (television, film, books, etc.).

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF THE COMPANY FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2013 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2012

The key financial indicators that the Company reviews to monitor the business are gross billings, revenues, model costs, operating expenses and cash flows.

The Company analyzes revenue by reviewing the mix of revenues generated by the different “boards” (each a specific division of the fashion model management operations which specializes by the type of model it represents (Women, Men, Select, Media, Runway, Curve, Lifestyle, Kids, etc.)) of the business, revenues by geographic locations and revenues from significant clients. Wilhelmina has three primary sources of revenue: revenues from principal relationships whereby the gross amount billed to the client is recorded as revenue, when the revenues are earned and collectability is reasonably assured; revenues from agent relationships whereby the commissions paid by models as a percentage of their gross earnings are recorded as revenue when earned and collectability is reasonably assured; and separate service charges, paid by clients in addition to the booking fees, which are calculated as a percentage of the models’ booking fees and are recorded as revenues when earned and collectability is reasonably assured. See Critical Accounting Policies - Revenue Recognition. Gross billings are an important business metric that ultimately drive revenues, profits and cash flows.

Because Wilhelmina provides professional services, salary and service costs represent the largest part of the Company’s operating expenses. Salary and service costs are comprised of payroll and related costs and T&E (travel, meals and entertainment) to deliver the Company’s services and to enable new business development activities.

Gross Billings

Generally, the Company’s gross billings fluctuate in response to its clients’ willingness to spend on advertising and the Company’s ability to have the desired talent available. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company experienced a 6% increase in gross billings across the core modeling business, which was more than offset by a 53% decrease in the gross billings of the WAM business, when compared to the gross billings across the core modeling and WAM businesses for three months ended March 31, 2012. Gross billings of the WAM business decreased due to reduced fixed payments earned under a product licensing agreement (per the terms of the contract) and due to the expiration of another product licensing agreement (per the terms of the contract), which the Company was a party to, with a former talent. Management expects gross billings and operating results from the WAM business to continue to decline in 2013 as compared to 2012, as a result of existing product licensing agreements expiring over the next twelve to fifteen months. Management cannot estimate the impact of any new product licensing agreements, which would offset this trend. Gross billings of the WAM division represented approximately 7% of total gross billings for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to approximately 15% for the three months ended March 31, 2012. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, gross billings of the various boards of the core modeling business experienced positive growth ranging from 8% to 46%, and three boards experienced negative growth ranging from (10%) to (36%), compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Revenues

The increase in revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2013 is attributable to a 6% increase in gross billings in the core modeling business, somewhat offset by a decline in licensing fees (as discussed above).

License Fees and Other Income

License fees and other income include the following:

Product licensing agreements between the Company, its clients and talent, whereby the Company participates in the sharing of royalties. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, royalties from these licensing agreements totaled approximately $72,000, compared to $240,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

An agreement between the Company and an unconsolidated affiliate to provide management and administrative services, as well as sharing of space. For each of the three months ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012, management fee and rental income from the unconsolidated affiliate amounted to approximately $27,000.

·	Franchise revenues from independently owned model agencies that use the Wilhelmina trademark name and various services provided by the Company. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, franchise fees totaled approximately $102,000, compared to $66,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

·	Fees derived from participants in the Company’s model search contests, events and television syndication royalties.

Gross Profit Margin

Fluctuations in gross profit margin, between periods, is predominantly due to the following:

·	The mix of revenues being derived from talent relationships, which require the reporting of revenues gross (as a principal) versus net (as an agent). Model costs consist of costs associated with relationships with models where the key indicators suggest that the Company acts as a principal.

·	An increase or decrease in mother agency fees, relative to model costs.

·	An increase or decrease in the rate of recovery of advances to models (for the cost of producing initial portfolios and other out-of-pocket costs). These costs are expensed as incurred and repayments of such costs are credited to model costs in the period received.

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the rate of recovery of certain costs advanced to models declined slightly for the three months ended March 31, 2013 when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012. Also a decrease in revenues reported on a net basis declined for the three months ended March 31, 2013 when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012. The decrease in net revenues is attributable to a decline in the operating results of the WAM business, as discussed above.

Salaries and Service Costs

Salaries and service costs consist of payroll and related costs and T&E (travel, meals and entertainment) costs required to deliver the Company’s services to its customers and talent. The following factors contributed to the changes in salaries and services costs when comparing the three months ended March 31, 2013 to the three months ended March 31, 2012:

·	The Company has hired additional key personnel to execute the Company’s strategy to increase value to shareholders through the initiatives discussed in the “Strategy” section above.

·	During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company experienced a slight decrease in T&E costs in connection with delivering services to its customers and models.

·	During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012, the Company paid compensation costs of approximately $0 and $95,000, respectively, in connection with certain non-compete and contractual arrangements of former employees.

Office and General Expenses

Office and general expenses consist of office and equipment rents, advertising and promotion, insurance expenses, administration and technology cost. These costs are less directly linked to changes in the Company’s revenues than are salaries and service costs.

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, office and general expenses increased, when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012, due to costs associated with legal and professional fees, technology, and leases associated with equipment and property. The Company continues to invest in technology, equipment and property to improve delivery of model management services to its talent.

The amount of office and general expenses as a percentage of revenue remained relatively flat at 5.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012.

Operating Margin

Operating margins declined for the three months ended March 31, 2013, when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012, mostly as a result of increases in salaries and service costs, somewhat offset by a decrease in corporate overhead.

Amortization and Depreciation

Depreciation and amortization expense is incurred with respect to certain assets, including computer hardware, software, office equipment, furniture, and other intangibles. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, depreciation and amortization expense totaled $390,000 (of which $357,000 relates to amortization of intangibles acquired in connection with the Wilhelmina Acquisition), compared to $396,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2012 (of which $368,000 relates to amortization of intangibles acquired in connection with the Wilhelmina Acquisition). Fixed asset purchases totaled approximately $34,000 and $64,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and three months ended March 31, 2012, respectively.

Corporate Overhead

Corporate overhead expenses include public company costs, director and executive officer compensation, directors’ and officers’ insurance, legal, audit and professional fees, corporate office rent and travel. Corporate overhead decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2013, when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012 due to a decline in legal fees (which were associated with the preparation of a resale registration statement during the three months ended March 31, 2012).

Asset Impairment Charge

Each reporting period, the Company assesses whether events or circumstances have occurred which indicate that the carrying amount of an intangible asset exceeds its fair value. If the carrying amount of the intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an asset impairment charge will be recognized in an amount equal to that excess. No asset impairment charges were incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012.

Interest Expense

The increase in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013, when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012, is the result of an increase in average borrowings under the Credit Agreement.

Income Taxes

Generally, the Company’s combined effective tax rate is high relative to reported net income as a result of certain amounts of amortization expense and corporate overhead not being deductible or attributable to states in which it operates. Currently, the majority of taxes being paid by the Company are state taxes not federal taxes. The Company operates in three states which have relatively high tax rates, California, New York and Florida. The Company’s combined (federal and state) effective tax rate would be even higher if it were not for federal net operating loss carryforwards available to offset current federal taxable income. As of March 31, 2013, the Company had federal income tax loss carryforwards of approximately $5,000,000, which begin expiring in 2019. Realization of the Company’s carryforwards is dependent on future taxable income. A portion of the Company’s federal net operating loss carryforwards were utilized to offset federal taxable income generated during the three months ended March 31, 2013. A valuation allowance has been recorded to reflect the tax effect of the net loss carryforwards not used to offset a portion of the deferred tax liability resulting from the Wilhelmina Acquisition. Ownership changes, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code, may have limited the amount of net operating loss carryforwards that can be utilized annually to offset future taxable income. Subsequent ownership changes could further affect the limitation in future years.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s cash balance decreased to $603,000 at March 31, 2013, from $1,145,000 at December 31, 2012. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, cash flows were impacted by the payment of approximately $454,000 in settlement of foreign withholding tax claims for tax years 2006 and 2008 and payment of incentive compensation and bonuses related to the year ended December 31, 2012.

The Company offset approximately $454,000 of the Company’s remaining approximately $509,000 Miami Earnout obligation (as of December 31, 2012), for losses incurred in the settlement of these foreign withholding claims for tax years 2006 and 2008, leaving a balance of approximately $55,000 which is owed under the Miami Earnout obligation.

Also during the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company increased its net borrowings under the Credit Agreement with Amegy by $250,000.

The Company’s primary liquidity needs are for financing working capital associated with the expenses it incurs in performing services under its client contracts. Generally, the Company incurs significant operating expenses with payment terms shorter than its average collections on billings.

Amegy Credit Agreement

On October 24, 2012, the Company executed and closed the second amendment (“the Second Credit Agreement Amendment”) to its revolving Credit Agreement with Amegy, which amended and replaced the terms amended by the Credit Agreement Amendment. Under the terms of the Second Credit Agreement Amendment, (1) total availability under the revolving credit facility is $5,000,000, (2) the borrowing base is 75% of eligible accounts receivable (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and (3) the Company’s minimum net worth covenant is $22,000,000. The maturity date of the facility is October 15, 2015. Under the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Promissory Note, the interest rate on borrowings is prime rate plus 1%.

As of May 14, 2013, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $1,500,000 under the Credit Agreement.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2013, the Company had $222,000 of restricted cash that serves as collateral for an irrevocable standby letter of credit. The letter of credit serves as additional security under the lease extension relating to the Company’s office space in New York City that expires February 2021.

Effect of Inflation

Inflation has not been a material factor affecting the Company’s business. General operating expenses, such as salaries, employee benefits, insurance and occupancy costs, are subject to normal inflationary pressures.

Critical Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

In compliance with generally accepted accounting principles when reporting revenue gross as a principal versus net as an agent, the Company assesses whether it, the model or the talent is the primary obligor. The Company evaluates the terms of its model, talent and client agreements as part of this assessment. In addition, the Company gives appropriate consideration to other key indicators such as latitude in establishing price, discretion in model or talent selection and credit risk the Company undertakes. The Company operates broadly as a modeling agency and in those relationships with models and talent where the key indicators suggest the Company acts as a principal, the Company records the gross amount billed to the client as revenue when earned and collectability is reasonably assured and the related costs incurred to the model or talent as model or talent cost. In other model and talent relationships, where the Company believes the key indicators suggest it acts as an agent on behalf of the model or talent, the Company records revenue net of pass-through model or talent cost.

The Company also recognizes management fees as revenues for providing services to other modeling agencies as well as consulting income in connection with services provided to a television production network according to the terms of the contract. The Company recognizes royalty income when earned based on terms of the contractual agreement. Revenues received in advance are deferred and amortized using the straight-line method over periods pursuant to the related contract.

The Company also records fees from licensees when the revenues are earned and collectability is reasonably assured.

Advances to models for the cost of producing initial portfolios and other out-of-pocket costs are expensed to model costs as incurred. Any repayments of such costs are credited to model costs in the period received.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill and intangible assets consist primarily of goodwill and buyer relationships resulting from a business acquisition. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are no longer subject to amortization, but rather to an annual assessment of impairment by applying a fair-value based test.

Management’s assessments of the recoverability and impairment tests of goodwill and intangible assets involve critical accounting estimates. These estimates require significant management judgment, include inherent uncertainties and are often interdependent; therefore, they do not change in isolation. Factors that management must estimate include, among others, the economic life of the asset, sales volume, prices, inflation, cost of capital, marketing spending, tax rates and capital spending. These factors are even more difficult to predict when global financial markets are highly volatile. When performing impairment tests, the Company estimates the fair values of the assets using management’s best assumptions, which it believes would be consistent with what a hypothetical marketplace participant would use. Estimates and assumptions used in these tests are evaluated and updated as appropriate. The variability of these factors depends on a number of conditions, including uncertainty about future events, and thus the accounting estimates may change from period to period. If other assumptions and estimates had been used when these tests were performed, impairment charges could have resulted.

Business Combinations

In a business combination, contingent consideration or earn outs will be recorded at their fair value at the acquisition date. Except in bargain purchase situations, contingent consideration typically will result in additional goodwill being recognized. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability will be adjusted to fair value at each reporting date through earnings until the contingency is resolved.

These estimates are subject to change upon the finalization of the valuation of certain assets and liabilities and may be adjusted.

Management is required to address the initial recognition, measurement and subsequent accounting for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination, and requires that such assets acquired or liabilities assumed be initially recognized at fair value at the acquisition date if fair value can be determined during the measurement period. If the acquisition date fair value cannot be determined, the asset acquired or liability assumed arising from a contingency is recognized only if certain criteria are met. A systematic and rational basis for subsequently measuring and accounting for the assets or liabilities is required to be developed depending on their nature.

Basis of Presentation

The financial statements include the consolidated accounts of Wilhelmina and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are accounted for at fair value, do not bear interest and are short-term in nature. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability to collect on accounts receivable. Based on management’s assessment, the Company provides for estimated uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to the valuation allowance. Balances that remain outstanding after the Company has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable. The Company generally does not require collateral.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company continually assesses the need for a tax valuation allowance based on all available information. As of March 31, 2013, and as a result of this assessment, the Company does not believe that its deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized. In addition, the Company continuously evaluates its tax contingencies.

Accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements requires a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Also, consideration should be given to de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. There was no change to the net amount of assets and liabilities recognized in the consolidated balance sheets as a result of the Company’s tax positions.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Not applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on their evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, with the participation of management, have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2013 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (a) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (b) accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Given these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there is only reasonable assurance that the Company’s controls will succeed in achieving their stated goals under all potential future conditions. The Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2013.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

As of the end of the period covered by this report, there were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting, or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
