Speedemissions, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2010
(Unaudited)
Note 1: Nature of Operations
Description of Business
Speedemissions, Inc. (“Speedemissions” or the “Company”) performs vehicle emissions testing and safety inspections in certain cities in which vehicle emissions testing is mandated by the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”). 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. As of March 31, 2010, the Company operated 41 vehicle emissions testing and safety inspection stations under the trade names of Speedemissions (Atlanta, Georgia and St. Louis, Missouri); Mr. Sticker (Houston, Texas); and Just Emissions (Salt Lake City, Utah). The Company also operates four mobile testing units in the Atlanta, Georgia area. The Company manages its operations based on these four regions and has one reportable segment.
At its vehicle emissions testing and safety inspection stations, the Company uses computerized emissions testing equipment and safety inspection equipment that tests vehicles for compliance with emissions and safety standards.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) as codified in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position and results of operations. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full year. The financial statements and related notes do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual reports. This quarterly report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date of filing its Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company is not aware of any significant events that occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date but prior to the filing of this report that would have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Speedemissions and non-operating subsidiaries, which are 100% owned by the Company. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates included in these financial statements relate to useful lives of property and equipment, the valuation allowance provided against deferred tax assets and the valuation of long-lived assets and goodwill. Actual results could differ from those estimates. For a description of Speedemissions’ critical accounting policies see the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company uses a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
| • | Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Company has no Level 1 assets or liabilities. |
| • | Level 2 – Observable inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such a quoted prices for markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. The Company has no Level 2 assets or liabilities. |
7
| • | Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs. The Company had no Level 3 assets or liabilities at March 31, 2010 or December 31, 2009. However, goodwill is evaluated at least annually for impairment based on Level 3 inputs. For a further discussion of how the Company measures the value of the reporting units and goodwill, see Note 5 Goodwill in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value because of the short-term nature of these accounts. Fair value of the equipment financing agreements and capital lease obligations approximate carrying value based upon current borrowing rates.
Note 3: Property and Equipment
Property and equipment at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 consisted of the following:

| Property Taxes |
27,807 | 9,419 | ||||
| $ | 219,435 | $ | 196,544 | |||
Note 5: Equipment Financing Agreements
In December 2007, the Company entered into sixty-month equipment financing agreements with two financing companies in the amounts of $55,124 and $40,458, respectively. The financing agreements are secured by the related equipment and are personally guaranteed by the President of the Company. The balance outstanding under these equipment financing agreements as of March 31, 2010 was $59,965.
Note 6: Net Income (loss) Per Common Share
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) represents net income (loss) 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 Company’s Series A and Series B preferred stock (commonly and hereinafter referred to as “Common Stock Equivalents”), were exercised or converted into common stock.
8
The following table sets forth the computation for basic and diluted net income (loss) per share for the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively:
| Three Months Ended March 31 | |||||||
| 2010 | 2009 | ||||||
| Net income (loss) (A) |
$ | (51,575 | ) | $ | 42,152 | ||
| Weighted average common shares - basic (B) |
6,954,836 | 5,162,108 | |||||
| Effect of dilutive securities: |
|||||||
| Diluted effect of stock options (1, 2) |
— | — | |||||
| Diluted effect of stock warrants (1, 2) |

| Diluted effect of unrestricted Preferred Series B Shares (4) |

6,954,836 | 9,439,606 | |||||

$ | (0.01 | ) | $ | 0.01 | ||
| Net income (loss) per share - diluted (A/C) |
$ | (0.01 | ) | $ | 0.00 | ||
| (1) | Because their effects are anti-dilutive, Common Stock Equivalents of 21,153,345 issuable under stock option plans and stock warrants whose grant price is greater than the average market price of Common Shares outstanding at the end of the relevant period have been excluded from the computation of weighted average common shares (diluted) for the three months ended March 31, 2009. These Common Stock Equivalents could be dilutive in future periods. |
| (2) | As a result of the Company’s net loss in the three months ended March 31, 2010, aggregate Common Stock Equivalents of 21,045,989 issuable under stock option plans and stock warrants 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, 2010. These Common Stock Equivalents could be dilutive in future periods. |
| (3) | As a result of the Company’s net loss in the three months ended March 31, 2010, aggregate Common Stock Equivalents of 4,277,498 issuable under Series A convertible, redeemable preferred stock 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, 2010. These Common Stock Equivalents could be dilutive in future periods. The Company reported net income in the three months ended March 31, 2009 and as a result, the 4,277,498 Common Stock Equivalents were dilutive in the three months ended March 31, 2009. |
| (4) | Series B convertible preferred stock held by Barron Partners, LP (“Barron”) do not have voting rights and are subject to a maximum ownership percentage by Barron at any time of 4.9% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. As a result, Common Stock Equivalents of the Series B convertible preferred stock of 16,541,141 and 18,760,000 are anti-dilutive and have been excluded from the weighted average common shares diluted calculation for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. |
Note 7: Preferred and Common Stock
Preferred Stock
There were 5,133 shares of Series A convertible redeemable preferred stock (“Preferred A Stock”) issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009. For financial statement purposes, the Preferred A Stock has been presented outside of stockholders’ equity on the Company’s 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 2,187,981 and 2,279,981 shares of Series B convertible preferred stock (“Preferred B Stock”) issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, all of which were held by Barron. Barron converted 92,000 and 0 shares of Preferred B Stock into 695,520 common shares during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Common Stock
The Company issued a total of 695,520 common shares to Barron during the three months ended March 31, 2010. The issuances to Barron resulted from Barron’s conversion of a total of 92,000 shares of Preferred B Stock.
Note 8: 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 the Company’s 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
9
updated estimates differ from the Company’s 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 Company’s current estimates.
Share-based compensation expense was $10,793 and $11,837 during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively and is included in general administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
Stock Incentive Plans
The Company has granted options to employees and directors to purchase the Company’s 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 Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, which determines the terms of the awards granted. Stock options are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market value of the Company’s 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 Company’s stock option plans during the three month period ended March 31, 2010:
| Number of Shares |
Weighted Average Exercise Price |
Weighted Average Grant-date Fair Value | ||||||
| Options outstanding at December 31, 2009 |
5,778,808 | $ | 0.35 | |||||
| Granted |
— | — | — | |||||
| Expired |
(10,250 | ) | 0.12 | |||||
| Options outstanding at March 31, 2010 |
5,768,558 | $ | 0.35 | |||||
| Options exercisable at March 31, 2010 |
4,645,725 | $ | 0.40 | |||||
The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and exercisable at March 31, 2010 was $0. Intrinsic value is the amount by which the fair value of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price of the options.
The Company estimates the fair value for stock options at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires management to make certain assumptions. Expected volatility is based on the comparable company data. The Company bases the risk-free interest rate on U.S. Treasury note rates. The expected term is based on the vesting period and an expected exercise term. The Company does not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future and therefore uses an expected dividend yield of 0%. The Company did not grant stock options in the three months ended March 31, 2010.
As of March 31, 2010, there was $3,983 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 three months. There were 4,333 and 4,333 shares that vested during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
There were 5,768,558 and 5,778,808 shares issued and outstanding under the Company’s SKTF, Inc. 2001 Stock Option Plan, the 2005 Omnibus Stock Grant and Option Plan, Speedemissions’ Inc. 2006 Stock Grant and Option Plan and 2008 Stock Grant and Option Plan as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. There were no options granted under these plans during the three month period ended March 31, 2010. There were no options exercised during the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.
Stock Warrants
There were no common stock warrants granted or exercised during the three month period ended March 31, 2010. The following table represents our warrant activity for the three month period ended March 31, 2010:
| Number of Warrants |

Note 10: Income Taxes
No provision for income taxes has been reflected for the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 as the Company has sufficient net operating loss carry forwards to offset taxable income.
Note 11: 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.

Disclaimer Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains not only statements that are historical facts, but also statements that are forward-looking. Forward-looking statements are statements we make based on our management’s expectations, estimates, projections and assumptions and 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; emission certificate cost; 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 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. The above examples are not exhaustive and new risks emerge from time to time. For a further discussion of risk factors relating to our business, see Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
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. You are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report and in our other reports as we attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations and prospects.
We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Since our common stock is considered a “penny stock,” we are not eligible to rely on the safe harbor for forward-looking statements provided in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and any references to these sections are for informational purposes only.
Overview
Speedemissions performs vehicle emissions testing and safety inspections in certain cities in which vehicle emissions testing is mandated by the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”). 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. As of March 31, 2010, the Company operated 41 vehicle emissions testing and safety inspection stations under the trade names of Speedemissions (Atlanta, Georgia and St. Louis, Missouri); Mr. Sticker (Houston, Texas); and Just Emissions (Salt Lake City, Utah). The Company also operates four mobile testing units in the Atlanta, Georgia area. The Company manages its operations based on these four regions and has one reportable segment.
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.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 2010 and 2009
Our revenue, cost of emission certificates, store operating expenses, general and administrative expenses and operating income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009 were as follows:

Revenue. Revenue decreased $18,829 or 0.8% to $2,453,113 in the three month period ended March 31, 2010 compared to $2,471,942 in the three month period ended March 31, 2009. The decrease in revenue over the comparable period was primarily due to a decrease in same store sales of $39,873 or 1.6%, offset by an increase of $21,044 from new stores. The decrease in same store sales is mainly attributable to extended inclement weather conditions experienced during January and February 2010 and increased competition in Georgia.

Cost of emission certificates. Cost of emission certificates decreased $7,092 or 1.3% in the three month period ended March 31, 2010 and was $541,485 or 22.1% of revenues, compared to $548,577 or 22.2% of revenues in the three month period ended March 31, 2009. The decrease in the cost of emission certificates was primarily due to a $11,596 decrease in same store certificate costs resulting from decreased sales, offset by an increase of $4,504 in the cost of emission certificates from new stores.
Store operating expenses. Store operating expenses decreased $16,107 or 1.0% in the three month period ended March 31, 2010 and was $1,556,722 or 63.5% of revenues, compared to $1,572,829 or 63.6% of revenues in the three month period ended March 31, 2009. The decrease was mainly attributable to a decrease of $62,944 in same store operating expenses, offset by additional expenses from new stores of $46,837.
General and administrative expenses. Our general and administrative expenses increased $93,897 or 31.2% to $395,263 in the three month period ended March 31, 2010 from $301,366 in the three month period ended March 31, 2009. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to increases in professional fees and higher personnel costs.
Loss from disposal of non-strategic assets. We recognized a loss of $4,989 on the sale of equipment in the three month period ended March 31, 2010. We did not recognize a gain or loss from the disposal of non-strategic assets in the three month period ended March 31, 2009.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Introduction
Our net cash position increased by $39,603 during the three months ended March 31, 2010 primarily from cash provided by operations and our current liabilities increased by $58,182. Our current liabilities increased mainly due to a timing difference from the payment of our January 1, 2010 payroll on December 31, 2009 instead of January 1, 2010 due to the holiday weekend. We anticipate an increase in our net operating cash flow on a long-term basis, but we may not achieve positive operating cash flows on a consistent basis during 2010.
Cash Requirements
For the three months ended March 31, 2010, our net cash provided by operating activities was $76,372 compared to net cash provided by operations of $50,705 in the three months ended March 31, 2009. Positive operating cash flows during the three months ended March 31, 2010 were primarily created by depreciation and amortization of $72,559, an increase in accounts payable and
13
accrued liabilities of $68,625, share-based compensation expenses of $10,793 and a loss on disposal of assets of $4,989. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was offset by a net loss of $51,575, an increase in other current assets of $19,040, an increase in other assets of $1,800 and a decrease in other liabilities of $8,179.
Positive operating cash flows during the three months ended March 31, 2009 were primarily created by net income of $42,152, depreciation and amortization of $79,800, share-based compensation expenses of $11,837 and a decrease in other assets of $3,000, offset by a decrease of $77,109 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, an increase in other assets of $7,837, a decrease in other liabilities of $1,138.
Sources and Uses of Cash
Net cash used in investing activities was $6,803 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $6,527 for the three months ended March 31, 2009.

During the three months ended March 31, 2010 we made principal payments of $5,289 and $24,677 on equipment financing obligations and capital leases, respectively.

Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of the Company’s 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 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 equity instruments, valuation of goodwill, created as the result of business acquisitions, as key to an understanding of our financial statements. These are important accounting policies that require management’s most difficult, subjective judgments.
