Speedemissions, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2008
(Unaudited)
Note 1: Organization
We were incorporated as SKTF Enterprises, Inc. in Florida in March 2001. In June 2003, we acquired Speedemissions, Inc., a Georgia corporation in the business of vehicle emissions testing since May 2000. In connection with the acquisition, we changed our name to Speedemissions, Inc. in September 2003.
We perform vehicle emissions testing and safety inspections in certain cities in which vehicle emissions testing is mandated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). We use computerized emissions testing and safety inspections equipment that test vehicles for compliance with vehicle emissions and safety standards. Our revenues are generated from the test or inspection fee charged to the registered owner of the vehicle. We do not provide automotive repair services.
As of May 2, 2008, we operated 50 vehicle emissions testing and safety inspection centers in five separate markets, greater Atlanta, Georgia; Dallas, Texas; Houston, Texas; St. Louis, Missouri; Salt Lake City, Utah and four mobile units in the Atlanta, Georgia area.
Note 2: Basis of Presentation
Throughout this report, the terms we, us, our, Speedemissions, and Company refer to Speedemissions, Inc., including its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and in accordance with the SECs instructions applicable to Form 10-Q interim financial information. In the opinion of management, such consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of March 31, 2008 and for all periods presented. The results of operations presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year or for any future period.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements. Such interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys audited financial statements contained in our Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Note 3: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, as of March 31, 2008, the Company had cash on hand of $563,214, working capital deficit of ($187,609), and an accumulated deficit of $12,205,524. The Company had net loss of $175,632 and negative cash flows from operations of $173,901 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Companys ability to maintain sufficient cash flow from operations to meet current and future obligations and its ability to implement its business plan. There can be no assurance that management will be successful in implementing its plans. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Nature of Operations
Speedemissions is engaged in opening, acquiring, developing, and operating vehicle emissions testing and safety inspection stations. The federal government and a number of state and local governments in the United States (and in certain foreign countries) mandate vehicle emissions testing as a method of improving air quality.
7
The Companys 50 emissions testing stations operate under the trade names Speedemissions (Georgia and Missouri), Mr. Sticker (Texas), and Just Inc. (Utah). At its emissions testing stations, the Company uses computerized emissions testing equipment and safety inspection equipment that test vehicles for compliance with emissions and safety standards. In the emissions testing and safety inspection industry, such stations are known as decentralized facilities. The Company utilizes basic testing systems that test a motor vehicles emissions while in neutral and enhanced testing systems that test a vehicles emissions under simulated driving conditions.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized as the testing services are performed. The cost of emission certificates is shown separately in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
The Company normally requires that the customers payment be made with cash, check, or credit card; accordingly, the Company does not have significant levels of accounts receivable.
Under current Georgia, Missouri, Texas, and Utah laws, if a vehicle fails an emissions test, it may be retested at no additional charge during a specified period after the initial test, as long as the subsequent test is performed at the same facility. The costs of such retests and the number of retests are not material. Accordingly, no allowance for retest is recorded by the Company.
Goodwill
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142), which prescribes the accounting for all purchased goodwill. In accordance with SFAS 142, goodwill is not amortized but tested for impairment annually and whenever an impairment indicator arises.
We measure the fair value of reporting units using discounted future cash flows based on our projections. Because the business is assumed to continue in perpetuity, the discounted future cash flow includes a terminal value. The long-term growth assumptions incorporated into the discounted cash flow calculation reflect our long-term view of the market and the discount rate is based on our weighted average cost of capital. Each year we re-evaluate the assumptions used to reflect changes in the business environment.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 161 Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activitie-an amendment of FASB statement No. 133 (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about an entitys derivative and hedging activities and thereby improves the transparency of financial reporting. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. SFAS 161 encourages, but does not require, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption. The Company does not expect that this new pronouncement will have a material impact on the Companys financial statements in future periods.
Note 4: Going Concern
The Company has historically incurred losses and has limited capital resources which raises substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The future success of the Company is contingent upon, among other things, the ability to: achieve and maintain satisfactory levels of profitable operations; obtain and maintain adequate levels of debt and/or equity financing; and provide sufficient cash flow from operations to meet current and future obligations. The Company is actively seeking new sources of financing to expand its revenue opportunities, however there is no guarantee that the Company will be successful in obtaining the financing required to fund the capital needed for expansion.
The Company has taken certain steps to maintain its operating and financial requirements in an effort to enable it to continue as a going concern until such time that revenues are sufficient to cover expenses on a consistent basis, including expanding its revenue opportunities through the investment in new stores, incorporating revisions to its processes and costs by seeking reduced operating costs through service agreements, redistributing labor to reduce overtime costs, and improving the appearance of its stores and personnel.
8
The Company has prepared financial forecasts which indicate that, based on its current business plans and strategies, it anticipates that it will achieve profitable operations and generate positive cash flows in the future. However, the ultimate timing and ability of the Company to achieve these forecasts and to meet the objectives discussed in the preceding paragraph cannot be determined at this time. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
Note 5: Property and Equipment

Note 8: Net Income Per Common Share
Net income per share has been computed according to SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share, which requires a dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS). Basic EPS represents net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during a reported period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock, including stock options, warrants, and contingently issuable shares such as the Companys Series A and Series B preferred stock (commonly and hereinafter referred to as Common Stock Equivalents), were exercised or converted into common stock.
The following table sets forth the computation for basic and diluted net income per share for the three month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively:

(1) | As a result of the Companys net loss in the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, aggregate Common Stock Equivalents of 40,873,010 and 42,923,560 that were potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive and have been excluded from the computation of weighted average common shares (diluted) for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. These Common Stock Equivalents could be dilutive in future periods. |
Note 9: Preferred and Common Stock
Preferred Stock
There were 5,133 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. For financial statement purposes, the Series A convertible preferred stock has been presented outside of stockholders equity on the Companys balance sheets as a result of certain conditions that are outside the control of the Company that could trigger redemption of the securities.
There were 2,481,482 shares Series B convertible preferred stock issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007.
10
Common Stock
The Company is authorized to issue 250,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock, of which 5,162,108 shares were issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007.
Note 10: Share-Based Compensation
The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes valuation model, and determines the fair value of restricted stock units based on the number of shares granted and the quoted price of Speedemissions common stock on the date of grant. Such value is recognized as expense over the requisite service period, net of estimated forfeitures, using the straight-line attribution method. The estimate of awards that will ultimately vest requires significant judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from the Companys current estimates, such amounts will be recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period estimates are revised. The Company considers many factors when estimating expected forfeitures, including types of awards, employee class and historical employee attrition rates. Actual results, and future changes in estimates, may differ substantially from the Companys current estimates.
Stock-based compensation expense under SFAS No. 123(R) was $27,106 and $32,716 during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. In the Companys Statement of Cash Flows, the $27,106 and $32,716 in share-based compensation expense was shown as a non-cash expense in the reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Stock Incentive Plans
The Company has granted options to employees and directors to purchase the Companys common stock under various stock incentive plans. Under the plans, employees and non-employee directors are eligible to receive awards of various forms of equity-based incentive compensation, including stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance awards, among others. The plans are administered by the Board of Directors and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, which determine the terms of the awards granted. Stock options are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market value of Speedemissions, Inc. common stock on the date of grant, have a term of ten years or less, and generally vest over three years from the date of grant.
The following table sets forth the options granted under the Speedemissions Stock Option Plans as of March 31, 2008:
Number of Shares |
Weighted Average Exercise Price |
Weighted Average Grant-date Fair Value | |||||||
Options outstanding at December 31, 2007 |

2,337,725 | $ | 0.69 | ||||||
Options exercisable at March 31, 2008 |
1,633,992 | $ | 0.74 | ||||||
The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and exercisable at March 31, 2008 was $0. Intrinsic value is the amount by which the fair value of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price of the options.
As of March 31, 2008, there was $58,736 of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to non-vested stock options. This amount is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of eight months. No shares vested during the three months ended March 31, 2008.
There were 2,337,725 and 2,347,725 shares issued and outstanding under the Companys SKTF, Inc. 2001 Stock Option Plan, the 2005 Omnibus Stock Grant and Option Plan and Speedemissions Inc. 2006 Stock Grant and Option Plan as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. There were no options granted or exercised during the three month period ended March 31, 2008.
11
Stock Warrants
There were 15,497,787 common stock warrants issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007. There were no common stock warrants granted or exercised during the three month period ended March 31, 2008. The following table represents our warrant activity for the three months ended March 31, 2008:

Note 11: Income Taxes
No provision for income taxes has been reflected for the three month period ended March 31, 2008 as the Company has sufficient net operating loss carry forwards to offset taxable income.
Note 12: Contingencies
The Company may from time to time be involved in various proceedings and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. While any proceeding or litigation has an element of uncertainty, the Company believes that the outcome of any lawsuit or claim that may be pending or threatened, or all of them combined, will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 2 | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
Disclaimer Regarding Forward Looking Statements
Our Managements Discussion and Analysis contains not only statements that are historical facts, but also statements that are forward-looking (within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Forward-looking statements are, by their very nature, uncertain and risky. These risks and uncertainties include international, national and local general economic and market conditions; demographic changes; our ability to sustain, manage, or forecast growth; our ability to successfully make and integrate acquisitions; new product development and introduction; existing government regulations and changes in, or the failure to comply with, government regulations; adverse publicity; competition; the loss of significant store leases, customers or suppliers; fluctuations and difficulty in forecasting operating results; changes in business strategy or development plans; business disruptions; the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; the ability to protect technology; and other risks that might be detailed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Although the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report reflect the good faith judgment of our management, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known by them. Consequently, and because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, the actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in the forward-looking statements.

Overview
As of March 31, 2008 we operated 50 vehicle emissions testing stations and four mobile units in five separate markets, Atlanta, Georgia; Dallas-Ft. Worth, Texas; Houston, Texas; St. Louis, Missouri; and Salt Lake City, Utah. Since December 31, 2007, we have opened six new stores in the Dallas-Ft Worth area, one in Houston and three in St. Louis. We expect to open two additional stores in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area by June 30, 2008.
We perform vehicle emissions testing and safety inspections in certain cities in which vehicle emissions testing is mandated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). We use computerized emissions testing and safety inspections equipment that test vehicles for compliance with vehicle emissions and safety standards. Our revenues are generated from the test or inspection fee charged to the registered owner of the vehicle. We do not provide automotive repair services.
We charge a fee for each test, whether the vehicle passes or not, and a portion of that fee is passed on to the respective state governing agency.
We have undertaken cost containment and customer service initiatives over the past twelve months that have resulted in an increase in same store operating margins from 13.6% to 22.8% during the three months ended March 31, 2008 over the comparable period. We expect our revenue to increase in 2008 but our overall store operating margins and overall profitability may be adversely affected in 2008 as we expect the new emissions testing stations to operate at a loss until we can add a sufficient number of customers which will allow each new store to break even.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 and 2007

Revenue. Revenue increased $70,881 or 2.9% to $2,483,419 in the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $2,412,538 in the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase in revenue over the comparable period was primarily due to an increase of $146,678 from new stores that were not open for the entire comparable period in the prior year, offset by the loss of $39,378 in revenue from the closure of our Lawrenceville, Georgia store where Gwinnett County acquired the property for a road widening project and a decrease in same store sales of $36,419 or 1.5%.
Cost of emission certificates. Cost of emission certificates decreased $55,986 or 9.3% in the three month period ended March 31, 2008 and was $543,704 or 21.9% of revenues, compared to $599,690 or 24.9% of revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2007. The decrease in the cost of emission certificates was primarily due to a $93,148 decrease in same store certificate costs and a $11,091 decrease in certificate costs from the closure of the Lawrenceville store discussed above. The decrease in same store certificate costs mainly resulted from a decrease in the per certificate cost of our Georgia certificates, which decreased from $6.95 to $4.02 per test on October 1, 2007. The decrease in the cost of emissions certificates was offset by additional certificates purchased in the amount of $48,253 at our new stores.
Store operating expenses. Store operating expenses increased $121,266, or 8.1% in the three month period ended March 31, 2008 and was $1,621,231 or 65.3% of revenues, compared to $1,499,965 or 62.2% of revenues in the three month period ended March 31, 2007. The increase was mainly attributable to $287,502 in new store operating expenses. The increase was offset by a decrease of $152,800 in same store operating expenses and a decrease of $13,436 resulting from the closure of the Lawrenceville store.
General and administrative expenses. Our general and administrative expenses increased $127,611 or 35.7% to $485,446 in the three month period ended March 31, 2008 from $357,835 in the three month period ended March 31, 2007. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to increases in Sarbanes-Oxley compliance costs, legal and accounting fees and investor relations activities.
Loss from disposal of non-strategic assets. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, we did not realize a gain or loss from the disposal of non-strategic assets and recognized a loss of $3,849 in the three months ended March 31, 2007.
Other income, interest expense, net loss and earnings per share. Our other income, interest expense, net loss and earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2007 is as follows:

The Company incurred higher interest expense during the three months ending March 31, 2008 as a result of higher average debt under equipment financing agreements and capital leases outstanding than the comparable period ending March 31, 2007.
During the three months ended March 31, 2008, we had net loss of $175,632 or $0.03 per weighted-average share-basic and diluted. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we reported net loss of $52,128 or $0.02 per weighted-average share-basic and diluted.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Introduction
Our net cash position decreased by $241,448 during the three months ended March 31, 2008 primarily as a result of additional capital and operating expenditures associated with our new stores opened in Texas and Missouri. As we continue to implement our growth strategy, we anticipate an increase in our net operating cash flow on a long-term basis, but with the increased costs of expanding our operations, we may not achieve positive operating cash flows on a consistent basis, or at all, during 2008. The Company has funded operations and our investment in new stores primarily through the issuance of equity securities, equipment leases and cash provided by operations. In the future, we may continue to issue our equity securities in order to raise additional capital to fund expansion and working capital needs. We continually assess store profitability and may close non-profitable or poor performing stores.
Cash Requirements
For the three months ended March 31, 2008, our net cash used in operating activities was $173,901 compared to net cash provided by operations of $57,123 in the three months ended March 31, 2007. Negative operating cash flows during the three months ended March 31, 2008 were primarily created by a net loss of $175,632, a decrease of $108,390 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, a increase in other assets of $750 and a decrease in other liabilities of $2,581, offset by a decrease in other current assets of $868, depreciation and amortization of $85,478, and share based compensation expenses of $27,106. Because of our growth strategy, we do not have an opinion as to how indicative these results will be of future results.
Net cash provided by operating cash flows during the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $57,123 and was primarily created by a decrease in other current assets of $61,260, depreciation and amortization of $87,136 and share based compensation expenses of $32,716, partially offset by a net loss from operations of $52,128 and a decrease of $75,710 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
Sources and Uses of Cash
Overall net cash flow from operations may be adversely affected in 2008 by the working capital needs of the new emissions testing stations in Dallas and St. Louis opened during December 2007 and in the three months ended March 31, 2008. However, we do seek to effectively manage expenses associated with our existing operations and working capital to mitigate the adverse impact our growth initiatives are expected to have on our operational cash flow.
Net cash used in investing activities was $55,686 and $49,109 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2008 were related to capital expenditures for new stores in the amount of $55,686. The cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2007 were mainly attributable to capital expenditures for new stores in the amount of $49,509.
Net cash used in financing activities was $11,861 and $3,037 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, we made payments of $11,861 on capital leases and equipment financing arrangements. Net cash used in financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2007 was mainly used for the payment of capital leases.
Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of the Companys financial condition and results of operations are based upon its consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The
15
preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. In consultation with our Board of Directors, the Company has identified accounting policies related to valuation of our common stock and for assessing whether any value should be assigned to a warrant that we believe are key to an understanding of its financial statements. Additionally, the Company has identified accounting policies related to the valuation of goodwill, created as the result of business acquisitions, as key to an understanding of its financial statements. These are important accounting policies that require managements most difficult, subjective judgments.
