Explanatory Note

Speedemissions, Inc. (“Company”) is filing this amendment no. 1 (this “Amendment”) to its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006 (“Original 2006 Form 10-KSB”), which was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2007. The Company is filing this amendment to amend and restate consolidated financial statements, amend disclosures in the Original 2006 Form 10-KSB and amend disclosures in the notes accompanying the consolidated financial statements. The restatement reclassifies our presentation of (Gain)/loss from disposal of non-strategic assets to include the (gain)/loss as a component of operating loss and our presentation of Series A convertible preferred stock. The restatement had no effect on our annual or quarterly net loss, cash flows or liquidity, and its effects on our financial position at December 31, 2006 are immaterial.

Amendment to Form 10-KSB

The following sections of the Original 2006 Form 10-KSB have been revised by this Amendment to reflect the restatement: Part I – Item 1 – Description of Business, Part II – Item 6 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation, Part II – Item 7 – Financial Statements, Part III – Item 9 – Directors, Executive Officers, Promoters, Control Persons and Corporate Governance; Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, Part II – Item 10 – Executive Compensation. Except to the extent relating to the restatement of our consolidated financial statements and other financial information described above, the consolidated financial statements and other disclosures in this Amendment do not reflect any events that have occurred after the Original 2006 Form 10-KSB was initially filed on March 30, 2007. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 1 should be read in conjunction with the Company’s filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission subsequent to the original filing date of the Form 10-KSB, including any amendments to those filings. Any reference to facts, circumstances or other matters at a “current” date refer to such facts and circumstances as of the filing date of the Original 2006 Form 10-KSB Filing.

As a result of this amendment, the management certifications, filed as exhibits to the Original 2006 Form 10-KSB, have been re-executed and re-filed as of the date of this Form 10-KSB/A.

Part I

 

Item 1. Description of Business

This Report contains statements which constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These statements are based on many assumptions and estimates and are not guarantees of future performance. Our actual results may differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements, as they will depend on many factors about which we are unsure, including many factors which are beyond our control. The words “may,” “would,” “could,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “intend,” “plan,” and “estimate,” as well as similar expressions, are meant to identify such forward-looking statements. Potential risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those described below under “Risk Factors.”

General

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 March 8, 2007, we operated 35 vehicle emissions testing and safety inspection centers in three separate markets, greater Atlanta, Georgia; Houston, Texas; and Salt Lake City, Utah, and four mobile units in the Atlanta, Georgia area.

Reverse Stock Split

On November 18, 2005, our shareholders approved by written consent of a majority vote a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock with fractional shares being rounded up to the next whole share. We executed the amendment to the Articles of Incorporation on December 6, 2005 which went effective January 20, 2006. All share amounts including stock options and warrants, in this Annual Report have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split unless otherwise indicated.

Risk Factors

Our independent auditors have expressed doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

In their report dated March 27, 2007, our independent auditors stated that our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 were prepared assuming that we would continue as a going concern. However, our independent auditors raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern due to our recurring losses from operations, operating cash flow deficiencies, and our limited capital resources. Our future success and ability to continue as a going concern 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 equity financing for expansion, and provide sufficient cash from operations to meet current and future obligations.

We have a limited operating history and limited historical financial information upon which you may evaluate our performance.

Our limited operating history and losses to date make it difficult to evaluate our business. We have incurred net losses of $1,332,206 and $3,688,638 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. As of December 31, 2006, we had cash on hand of $320,231, working capital deficit of $239,429, respectively, an accumulated deficit of $11,765,660 and total stockholders’ equity of $7,862,619. You should consider, among other factors, our prospects for success in light of the risks and uncertainties encountered by companies that, like us, are in their early stages of development. Various factors, such as economic conditions, regulatory and legislative considerations, and competition, may also impede our ability to expand our market presence. We may not successfully address these risks and uncertainties or successfully implement our operating and acquisition strategies. If we fail to do so, it could materially harm our business and impair the value of our common stock. Even if we accomplish these objectives, we may not generate positive cash flows or profits we anticipate in the future.

We have a large amount of outstanding common stock held by a single shareholder, and a large amount of common stock that could be acquired by a second shareholder upon conversion of preferred stock and exercise of warrants, which if sold could have a negative impact on our stock price.

Our largest shareholder, GCA Strategic Investment Fund Limited, and its affiliates, own 1,457,062 shares of our common stock. Upon exercise of all outstanding warrants at the exercise price of $1.20 per share and conversion of their Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, GCA Strategic Investment Fund Limited could own up to 10,056,859 shares of our common stock. Barron Partners LP could acquire up to 31,487,430 shares of our common stock upon the exercise of outstanding warrants at the exercise price of $1.20 per share and the conversion of their Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.

If either of these shareholders sold a large number of shares of our common stock into the public market it would have a negative impact on our stock price.

There is an extremely limited market for our stock.

There is an extremely limited trading market for our common stock. Although our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, there are very few trades of our shares. Currently, there are approximately three market makers in our common stock. Making a market in securities involves maintaining bid and ask quotations and being able to effect transactions in reasonable quantities at those quoted prices, subject to various securities laws and other regulatory requirements. The development and maintenance of a public trading market depends, however, upon the existence of willing buyers and sellers, the presence of which is not within our control or that of any market maker. Market makers on the OTC Bulletin Board are not required to maintain a continuous two-sided market, are required to honor firm quotations for only a limited number of shares, and are free to withdraw firm quotations at any time. Even with a market maker, factors such as our losses from operations for each of the past three years, the going concern opinion by our auditors, the large number of shares reserved for issuance upon exercise of existing warrants or options or the conversion of outstanding shares of preferred stock, and the small size of our company mean that there can be no assurance of an active and liquid market for our common stock developing in the foreseeable future. Even if a market develops, we cannot assure you that a market will continue, or that shareholders will be able to resell their shares at any price. You should carefully consider the limited liquidity of your investment in our common stock.

Our near term growth is expected to be financed through debt, equity offerings and cash flows from operations.

Our expansion into Dallas, Texas and St. Louis, Missouri in 2007 and 2008 is expected to be financed through debt, equity offerings and cash flow from operations. We cannot be certain that we will be successful in securing debt, completing equity offerings, or in generating sufficient cash flows from operations. Our growth and expansion may be curtailed if we are unable to secure equipment leases, loans, equity or generate sufficient cash flows to fund the growth and expansion.

We may have to pay a substantial amount of liquidated damages to a single shareholder if we fail to maintain certain requirements.

If we fail to maintain a majority of independent directors on our board or a majority of independent directors on both our Audit Committee and Compensation Committee, then we must pay to Barron Partners, LP (“Barron”) an amount equal to 24% of the purchase price of $6,615,000 for the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and common stock warrants per annum, payable monthly. For every month the majority of our board or any of our committees is not independent, we must pay Barron liquidated damages in the amount of $132,300. Currently we have a majority of independent directors on our board.

If we fail to maintain the effectiveness of a resale registration statement for the shares held by Barron, then we must pay to Barron in the form of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock an amount equal to 24% of the purchase price of $6,615,000 paid by Barron for the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and common stock warrants per annum for each day the resale registration is not effective. For example, if we fail to maintain the effectiveness of the resale registration statement for a period of 30 days, we must issue to Barron approximately 49,315 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock which would convert to approximately 372,822 shares of our common stock. Currently, the resale registration is effective.

We are obligated to redeem a series of our preferred stock upon a change of control.

If a person or group of persons other than GCA Strategic Investment Fund Ltd. acquires beneficial ownership of 33 1/3% or more of the outstanding shares of common stock without the prior written consent of GCA Strategic Investment Fund Ltd., we could be required to redeem the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock at the greater of (i) the original issue price of $1,000 per share or (ii) the number of shares of common stock into which the redeemed shares may be converted multiplied by the market price of the common stock at the time of the change in control. Based on the 5,133 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock currently outstanding, if this redemption were triggered we would be required to pay the holders of these shares an aggregate of at least $5,133,000. This restriction will likely deter any proposed acquisition of our stock and may make it more difficult for us to attract new investors, as any mandatory redemption of the preferred shares will materially adversely affect our ability to remain in business and significantly impair the value of your common stock.

A change of control could occur if one shareholder exercises all of its common stock purchase warrants.

Barron may acquire 18,760,000 shares of common stock upon conversion of 2,481,481 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. However, Barron is restricted from converting any portion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock which would cause Barron to beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. In addition, Barron may acquire 12,587,431 shares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants at $1.20 per share. However, Barron is restricted from exercising any portion of the common stock warrants which would cause Barron to beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the outstanding shares of common stock unless Barron revokes this restriction upon 61 days prior notice from Barron to Speedemissions. If Barron revokes this

restriction relating to the warrants, it could control approximately 82% of outstanding shares of common stock based on number of outstanding shares as of March 8, 2007.

We depend upon government laws and regulations that may be changed in ways that may impede our business.

Our business depends upon government legislation and regulations mandating air pollution controls. At this point, Georgia, Texas and Utah laws are especially important to us because all of our existing emissions testing services are conducted in those states. Changes in federal or state laws that govern or apply to our operations could have a materially adverse effect on our business. Federal vehicle emissions testing law may evolve due to technological advances in the automobile industry creating cleaner, more efficient automobiles which could affect current testing policy and procedures in our markets. For example, Georgia law could be changed so as to require that vehicles in the state be tested every other year, as opposed to every year. Such a change would reduce the number of vehicles that need to be tested in any given year and such a reduction would have a material adverse effect on our revenues in Georgia. Other changes that would adversely affect us would be a reduction in the price we can charge customers for our testing service, an increase in the fees we must pay to the state in order to operate emissions testing stations in its jurisdiction, and the adoption of a system whereby the state, as opposed to private operators, performs vehicle emissions testing. We cannot be assured that changes in federal or state law would not have a materially adverse effect on the vehicle emissions testing industry generally or, specifically, on our business.

We may be unable to effectively manage our growth and operations.

If we raise sufficient capital to support our growth strategy of both opening and acquiring stations, we anticipate rapid growth and development in a relatively short period of time. The management of this expansion will require, among other things, continued development of our financial and management controls and management information systems, stringent control of costs, increased marketing activities, the ability to attract and retain qualified management personnel, and the training of new personnel. We intend to hire additional personnel in order to effectively manage our expected growth and expansion. Failure to successfully manage our expected growth and development and difficulties in managing additional emissions testing stations could have a material adverse effect on our business and the value of our common stock.

Our strategy of acquiring and opening more testing stations may not produce positive financial results for us.

Our strategy of acquiring and opening more emissions testing stations in the greater Atlanta, Houston, and Salt Lake City areas and in other areas is subject to a variety of risks, including the:

 

   

Inability to find suitable acquisition candidates;

 

   

Failure or unanticipated delays in completing acquisitions due to difficulties in obtaining regulatory approvals or consents;

 

   

Difficulty in integrating the operations, systems and management of our acquired stations and absorbing the increased demands on our administrative, operational and financial resources;

 

   

Loss of key employees;

 

   

Reduction in the number of suitable acquisition targets resulting from continued industry consolidation;

 

   

Inability to negotiate definitive purchase agreements on satisfactory terms and conditions;

 

   

Increases in the prices of sites and testing equipment due to increased competition for acquisition opportunities or other factors; and

 

   

Inability to sell any non-performing stations or to sell used equipment.

Our failure to successfully address these risks could have a material adverse effect on our business and impair the value of our common stock.

Because the emissions testing industry is highly competitive, we may lose customers and revenues to our competitors.

Our testing stations face competition from other emission station operators that are located near our sites. The markets we operate in are highly fragmented and our competitors generally consist of independent auto repair service providers, service stations, oil and tire repair stores and independent test-only facilities that may only operate a single station. We estimate our total number of competitors to be several thousand across all the markets in which we operate. For example, the 2006 list of licensed testing sites provided by the State of Georgia contains approximately 700 licensed test sites. We expect such competition whenever and wherever we open or acquire a station. Our revenue from emissions testing is affected primarily by the number of vehicles our stations service, and the price charged per test. Other emissions testing operators may have greater financial resources than us, which may allow them to obtain more expensive and advantageous locations for testing stations, to provide services in addition to emissions testing, to charge lower prices than we do, and to advertise and promote their businesses more effectively than we do. For example, some of our competitors in Atlanta charge only $20.00 to test a vehicle rather than the $25.00 maximum allowed under Georgia law. As a result, we have had to reduce our fees to $20.00 in some of our Atlanta stations. Although we believe our stations are well positioned to compete, we cannot assure you that our stations will maintain, or will increase, their current testing volumes and revenues. A decrease in testing volume

as the result of competition or other factors could materially impair our profitability and our cash flows, thereby adversely affecting our business and the value of our common stock.

The loss of Richard A. Parlontieri, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and the inability to hire or retain other key personnel, would adversely affect our ability to manage and control our business.

Our business now depends primarily upon the efforts of Mr. Richard A. Parlontieri, who currently serves as our President and Chief Executive Officer. We believe that the loss of Mr. Parlontieri’s services would have a materially adverse effect on us. In this regard, we note that we have entered into a three-year employment agreement with Mr. Parlontieri. We maintain key-man life insurance on Mr. Parlontieri.

As our business grows and expands, we will need the services of other persons to fill key positions in our company. As an early growth-stage company with limited financial resources, however, we may not be able to attract, or retain, competent, qualified and experienced individuals to direct and manage our business. The absence of skilled persons within our company will have a materially adverse effect on us and the value of our common stock.

Our largest shareholder controls our company, allowing it to direct the company in ways that may be contrary to the wishes of other shareholders.

Our largest shareholder, GCA Strategic Investment Fund Limited, and its affiliate, own approximately 51% of our outstanding shares and control approximately 80% of our outstanding voting securities. They have the ability to control the direction of our company, which may be contrary to the wishes of other shareholders or new investors.

There are a large number of outstanding warrants, options and preferred stock which if exercised or converted will result in substantial dilution of the common stock.

As of March 8, 2007, there are 2,963,528 shares of common stock outstanding. If all warrants and options outstanding as of December 31, 2006 are exercised and all preferred stock are converted to common stock, there will be 46,002,088 shares of common stock outstanding. As a result, a shareholder’s proportionate interest in us will be substantially diluted.

Our stock price may fluctuate which could result in substantial losses for investors.

The market price for our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control. These factors include:

 

   

Quarterly variations in operating results;

 

   

Any significant sale of stock or exercise of warrants by any of our existing shareholders;

 

   

Announcements by us or our competitors of new products, significant contracts, acquisitions or strategic relationships;

 

   

Publicity about our company, management, products or our competitors;

 

   

Additions or departures of key personnel;

 

   

Any future sales of our common stock or other securities; and

 

   

Stock market price and volume fluctuations of publicly traded companies.

These and other external factors have caused and may continue to cause the market price and demand for our common stock to fluctuate substantially, which may limit or prevent investors from readily selling their shares of common stock and may otherwise negatively affect the liquidity of our common stock.

Because we are subject to the “penny stock” rules, the level of trading activity in our stock may be reduced.

Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. Broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks” are regulated by certain penny stock rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Penny stocks, like shares of our common stock, generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on Nasdaq. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, broker-dealers who sell these securities to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors” must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. Consequently, these requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity, if any, in the secondary market for a security subject to the penny stock rules, and investors in our common stock may find it difficult to sell their shares.

Seasonality

 

7


Table of Contents

Our business is affected by seasonality in Utah, which historically has resulted in lower sales volume during the winter months of inclement weather in our first and fourth quarters. Prior quarterly results are not indicative of first or fourth quarter results.

Expansion of Business

We are becoming a national provider of vehicles emissions testing and safety inspections. In the past three years, we have acquired some of our competitors in the Atlanta, Georgia; Houston, Texas, and Salt Lake City, Utah areas. We intend to continue opening company-owned and operated stores and to acquire more competitors, in both our current markets and other selected markets. We are creating brand awareness in our current testing stations through standard building style and façade, consistent color schemes, signs, and employee uniforms, and we advertise in select local markets.

Recent Corporate Developments

We opened one new emissions testing center in the Houston, Texas area since December 31, 2006, which increases the emission testing centers we operate to 35 in Atlanta, Georgia, Houston, Texas and Salt Lake City, Utah. We have two emissions testing centers in the Houston, Texas area that we expect to open before June 30, 2007.

Our Typical Testing Center

The typical testing center is located inside of a structure similar to a typical lube or tire change garage with doors at both ends so vehicles can “drive-through” the facility. We also have structures that resemble a bank drive-through facility. A computerized testing system is located in the building. There are two types of primary tests that are performed, the Accelerated Simulated Model (ASM) and the On-Board Diagnostic (OBD). In selected markets a vehicle safety inspection must also be performed. These tests apply to vehicles generally manufactured from 1982 through 2003, depending on the state. The ASM test is done on vehicles 1995 and older, while the OBD test is conducted on vehicles 1996 and newer. In all new centers, we expect to operate two testing lanes. The cost of facilities varies, depending on location and market rates in that area. Generally, we do not expect to own any land or buildings. Instead, although we own the land and building at one of our sites, in the future we intend to lease or sublease all of the land and the buildings that we use in our business.

In our Atlanta, Georgia locations, under the guidelines of the Georgia Clean Air Force program the mobile vehicle emission testing units are only permitted to conduct the OBD test on 1996 and newer vehicles. In the Atlanta, Georgia area, we currently have four units and they serve the automobile fleets of the federal, state, and local governments. Also, all used cars, prior to being re-sold, must have a vehicle emission test, and thus we serve selected new and used car dealers throughout the greater Atlanta market. Finally, these units serve the fleets of major corporate and local government customers as well.

Industry Background – Government and Regulatory Overview

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) reported in 2003 that approximately 123 million people live in 333 counties across the United States that do not meet national air quality standards. The 2006 Motor Vehicle I/M Report, an annual report published by Sierra Research, states that 33 states and the District of Columbia currently have vehicle emissions testing programs. Each state as well as the District of Columbia has its own regulatory structure for emissions testing with which we must comply if we conduct business in that state.

Public awareness of air pollution and its hazardous effects on human health and the environment has increased in recent years. Increased awareness of air pollution and its hazardous effects on human health and the environment has led many governmental authorities to pass more stringent pollution control measures. One especially effective measure that many governmental authorities have adopted is vehicle emissions testing. Vehicle emissions produce approximately up to 50% of the hazardous air pollutants and up to 90% of the carbon monoxide air pollution in metropolitan areas. The EPA estimates that enhanced emissions testing on motor vehicles is approximately 10 times more cost-effective in reducing air pollution than increasing controls on stationary pollution sources such as factories and utilities. Consequently, the EPA has made emissions testing an integral part of its overall effort to reduce air pollution by ensuring that vehicles meet emissions standards.

Vehicle emissions control requirements have become progressively more stringent since the passage of the Clean Air Act in 1970. In 1990, Congress amended the Clean Air Act. The revisions required areas that did not meet national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) to implement either basic or “enhanced” vehicle I/M emissions testing programs, depending upon the severity of the area’s air quality problem. The act also required that metro areas with populations of more than 100,000 implement enhanced I/M emissions testing regardless of their air quality designation.

On November 5, 1992, the EPA issued its original rule establishing minimum performance and administrative requirements for states developing air quality implementation plans. The EPA said areas that needed enhanced emissions testing would have to use their new “I/M 240” test procedure. However, the EPA decided to grant state governmental authorities the discretion to determine how best to establish and operate a network of emissions testing facilities, including the flexibility to choose either a centralized or a decentralized program.

Table of Contents

In general, these vehicle emissions tests are performed either in a centralized program or in a decentralized program. In a centralized program, a select number of emissions testing operators are licensed by the state or are operated by certain states to perform vehicle emissions testing. These operators are authorized to perform emissions tests, but generally they are prohibited from repairing vehicles that fail to pass an emissions test.

On the other hand, in a decentralized program, a wider range of persons may perform emissions tests, including those engaged primarily in other businesses, such as automotive repair shops, automobile dealers and others. For many of these operators, performing emissions tests is not their primary business.

Eighteen states have implemented decentralized programs, 12 states and the District of Columbia have implemented centralized programs, and two states have some counties that have centralized programs and other counties that have decentralized programs. There are three states that have implemented a hybrid program, whereby there are both decentralized and centralized testing stations.

On July 31, 1998, the EPA issued a final study that concluded that more stringent air quality standards for motor vehicle emissions are needed, and that such standards should be implemented as it becomes technologically feasible and cost-effective to do so. We believe that the setting of such standards will be the most important EPA regulatory initiative affecting motor vehicles since the passage of the 1990 Amendments. We believe that the EPA study is likely to result in more stringent standards that will have the effect of increasing the number of areas that must implement emissions testing programs and thereby potentially increasing the market for our service. On February 28, 2006, the EPA proposed new standards that would establish stringent new controls on gasoline passenger vehicles to further reduce emissions of mobile source air toxics.

Since 1977, when federal legislation first required states to comply with emissions standards through the use of testing programs, California has been a leader in testing procedures and technical standards. California has approximately 23 million vehicles subject to emissions testing, more than two times that of any other state. California’s testing program is overseen by the California Bureau of Automotive Repair (CARB). CARB has revised its emissions testing standards three times: in 1984, 1990 and, most recently, in 1997. With each of these revisions, the Bureau has required the use of new, more sophisticated and more accurate emissions testing and analysis equipment, which must be certified by CARB. California’s testing standards have become the benchmark for emissions testing in the United States.

All states with decentralized programs and many states with centralized programs require emissions testing and analysis equipment used in their programs to be either BAR-84, BAR-90, or BAR-97 certified, with all newly implemented enhanced programs requiring BAR-97 certification.

As emissions testing equipment has become more technologically advanced, government regulators have required that testing facilities use this more advanced equipment. The most significant technological advance that has occurred in the emissions testing industry over the past decade is the development of enhanced testing systems. Prior to 1990, the EPA required government agencies to test vehicles only for emissions of carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons, which form smog. During this “basic” test, a technician inserts a probe in the vehicle’s tailpipe while the vehicle is idling and emissions analyzers then measure pollution levels in the exhaust. These basic tests worked well for pre-1981, non-computerized vehicles containing carburetors because typical emission control problems involved incorrect air/fuel mixtures and such problems increase pollution levels in the exhaust even when the vehicle is idling.

However, today’s vehicles have different emissions problems. For tests on modern vehicles to be effective, the equipment must measure nitrogen oxide emissions that also cause smog and must test the vehicle under simulated driving conditions. The EPA now requires these enhanced tests in the major metropolitan areas of 33 states and the District of Columbia. A technician conducts these Accelerated Simulated Mode (ASM) tests on a dynamometer, a treadmill-type device that simulates actual driving conditions, including periods of acceleration, deceleration and cruising, or the On Board Diagnostic (OBD) by plugging into the vehicles computerized operation system.

Emissions Testing in the State of Georgia

As a result of a rapidly increasing population, which has caused the levels of smog to escalate sharply, the 13 counties that make up the metro Atlanta area have been identified by the EPA as target sites for a mandatory vehicle inspection and maintenance program. In 1996, the Environmental Protection Division of the State of Georgia initiated “Georgia’s Clean Air Force” program that requires testing of certain vehicles in a 13 county area surrounding Atlanta, Georgia, for certain emission levels. These rules are set forth in Sections 391-3-20-.01 through .22 of the Rules of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Environmental Protection Division.

Georgia’s program is a decentralized program. All operators performing emissions testing in Georgia must have their technicians attend and complete certain state certified training, and report to the state on their emissions testing activities every month. Testing stations may be licensed to test all vehicles, which are known as ALL VEHICLES WELCOME stations, or only vehicles not more than ten years old, known as 1996 OR NEWER VEHICLES ONLY stations. All the stations we currently operate in Georgia, are “ALL VEHICLES WELCOME” stations.

Georgia’s Clean Air Force Program initially required a basic test of exhaust gases every two years. In 1997, the program was changed to include enhanced testing, which combines the simple exhaust test with a simulated road test using a dynamometer. Prior to January 1, 2000, Georgia required that vehicles in the 13 covered counties undergo an emissions test once every two years. In December 1999, the Georgia legislature revised the program to require testing on an annual basis, with an annual exemption for the three most recent model years.

The market for emissions testing in Georgia is highly fragmented and generally consists of services provided by independent auto repair service providers, service stations, oil and tire repair stores, and independent test-only facilities. According to the State of Georgia, there were approximately 700 licensed test sites, and approximately 2,386,000 tests were performed in Georgia under the Georgia Clean Air Force Program during the calendar year 2006.

Under Georgia law, the price that a testing station may charge per test may not be less than $10 nor more than $25. A fee of $6.95 must be paid by the station operator to the state. The balance of the current charge, or $18.05 assuming the maximum price of $25 is charged, is retained by the station operator. If a vehicle fails an emissions test, it may be retested at no additional charge within 30 days of the initial test if performed at the same facility.

If a vehicle fails to pass an emissions test, the owner of the vehicle must have repair work performed to correct the deficiency, up to a total cost of $710 under current law. If a vehicle fails a re-inspection despite the maximum expenditure required by law, the owner must apply for a repair waiver from the state.

Georgia law mandates compliance with its vehicle emissions testing program. For vehicles subject to the state’s emissions law, a successful test, or a waiver from the state, is required to obtain a vehicle registration in Georgia.

Emissions Testing in the State of Texas

The Texas Vehicle Emissions Testing Program, also known as AirCheck Texas, was implemented in May 2002 in affected areas of Texas to improve air quality. As of January 2007, 17 counties will be subject to enhanced vehicle emissions testing. The rules are set forth in § 114.50 of the Texas Administrative Code.

The testing program is integrated with the annual safety inspection program, both of which are operated by the Texas Department of Public Safety in conjunction with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. Vehicles two to twenty-four years old are subject to vehicle emissions testing in Texas. The emissions tests conducted are the same as in Georgia with 1996 and newer models subject to the OBD test and 1995 and older models subject to the ASM test. The fee is set at a maximum of $39.50 for both the emissions test and the safety inspection, with $27.00 allocated for an ASM or an OSD emissions test and $12.50 allocated for the safety inspection. The operator is charged $8.00 for the ASM sticker, and $14.00 for the OBD sticker. Vehicles are required to be tested on an annual basis, with an annual exemption for the two most recent model years. According to the American Automobile Motor Vehicle Association, there are 4.6 million eligible vehicles in the state.

If a vehicle fails the emissions test, the operator must provide a free retest at the same facility within 15 days. An individual vehicle waiver is available to any vehicle that has undergone at least $600 of emissions-related repairs and is still unable to pass an emissions test.

Texas law mandates compliance with its vehicle emissions and safety inspection program. For a vehicle to obtain a sticker for yearly registration the owner must have a successful emissions and safety inspection, or a waiver.

Emissions Testing in the State of Utah

The state of Utah allows a hybrid of the centralized and decentralized programs where the state operates a select number of emissions testing and safety inspection centers while authorizing those businesses such as an automotive repair shop, automobile dealers and other to conduct emissions testing and safety inspections. The Department of Health for each county manages emission testing and the Utah Highway Patrol manages safety inspection program. The emissions tests conducted are the same as in Georgia and Texas. We charge $38.00 for the emissions test in Salt Lake County and $25 in Weber County where the maximum fee is $25. Depending on the location of the testing center, a fee of $1.80 is remitted to Salt Lake County and $3.00 to Weber County. We charge $17 for the safety inspections in both counties and a fee of $2.00 is remitted to the Utah Highway Patrol per safety inspection.

All vehicles registered in Davis, Salt Lake, Utah and Weber counties with model years less than six years old are required to have an emission test once every two years. Vehicles with model years six years old and older (to 1967) must have an emission test every year. Emission testing is not required for vehicles with model years 1967 or older. Vehicles with model years less than eight years old are required to have a safety inspection once every two years. Vehicles with model years eight years old and older must pass safety inspections every year. If a vehicle fails, the operator must provide a free re-test at the same facility within 15 days.

Utah law mandates compliance with its vehicle emissions and safety inspection program. For a vehicle to obtain a sticker for yearly registration the owner must have a successful emissions and/or safety inspection.

Operating Strategy

Our operating strategy focuses on (a) increasing the number of sites we operate in a given market, (b) increasing the volume of business at each site, (c) creating brand awareness for our services, and (d) creating repeat customer sales, all of which are designed to enhance our revenue and cash flow. To achieve these goals, we:

 

   

Seek to secure and maintain multiple stations at well-traveled intersections and other locations that are easily reachable by our customers;

 

   

Coordinate operations, training and a local outreach program in each market to enhance revenue and maximize cost efficiencies within each market;

 

   

Implement regional management and marketing initiatives in each of our markets;

 

   

Seek to acquire existing testing sites where significant volume potential exists;

 

   

Tailor each facility, utilize limited local advertising and the services we offer to appeal to the broadest range of consumers; and

 

   

Seek to expand the use of our mobile vehicle testing units by adding a sales manager to call on federal, state, and local governments for their fleets, as well as corporate accounts and car dealers.

Most of our emissions testing stations are open for business during weekdays between the hours of 8:00 am and 6:00 pm, and from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm on Saturdays, for a total of 58.5 hours per week. We operate some stations on Sundays in Texas. The average emissions test in Georgia takes approximately 8 to 12 minutes to complete. In Texas and Utah, because of the safety inspection, the completion time is slightly longer. Therefore, each of our stations with one testing bay can test anywhere from three to four vehicles per hour. In addition, we do a limited amount of oil changes in six of our Texas locations.

We currently purchase our raw materials, such as filters, hoses, etc., from several suppliers, and because these raw materials are readily available from a variety of suppliers, we do not rely upon any one supplier for a material portion of our materials. Certificates of Emission Inspection are purchased from the Georgia Clean Air Force, and emission and safety inspection stickers are purchased from the Texas Department of Public Safety, the Salt Lake Valley Health Department through Systech, and Utah Highway Patrol.

Intellectual Property

We have registered the trade name “Speedemissions” in Fulton County, Georgia, and Austin, Texas, and are thereby authorized to conduct our business in Georgia and Texas under the name “Speedemissions.” We have filed a Federal Service Mark Registration for the name and logo of Speedemissions, Inc., and for the tag line “The Fastest Way to Keep Your Air Clean.”

Competition

The emissions testing industry is full of small owner-operators. Auto repair shops, tire stores, oil change stores, muffler shops, service stations, and other emissions testing stations all offer the service. There are no national competitors at this time. Competition is fierce, and we expect competition from local operators at all of our locations. We expect such competition whenever and wherever we open or acquire a station. Our market share is too small to measure. Our revenue from emissions testing is affected primarily by the number of vehicles our stations perform, and the price charged per test. Other emissions testing operators may have greater financial resources than us, which may allow them to obtain more expensive and advantageous locations for testing stations, to provide services in addition to emissions testing, to charge lower prices than we do, and to advertise and promote their businesses more effectively than we do. For example, some of our competitors in Atlanta charge only $20.00 to test a vehicle rather than the $25.00 maximum allowed under Georgia law. As a result, we have had to reduce our fees to $20.00 in some of our Atlanta stations. We intend to compete by creating brand awareness through advertising, a standard building style and facade, and consistent color schemes and uniforms. Because most families own more than one vehicle, and they are required to have their vehicle tested on a regular basis, we anticipate that we can retain repeat customers. Although we believe our stations are well positioned to compete, we cannot assure you that our stations will maintain, or will increase, their current testing volumes and revenues.

Research and Development

We have not spent any material amount of time or money on research and development, and do not anticipate doing so in the future.

Compliance with Environmental Laws

There are no environmental laws applicable to the vehicle emissions and safety inspection business.

Item 2. Description of Property

Corporate Office

We rent our general corporate offices located at 1015 Tyrone Road, Suite 220, Tyrone, Georgia, which consists of 4,166 square feet of office space and training classroom with a term that expires on April 30, 2009, with two 2-year renewal options.

Testing Facilities

We lease the land and buildings we use in connection with 33 of our existing emissions testing facilities, and we own one building and the associated land in Lawrenceville, GA. A Georgia Department of Transportation and Gwinnett County road widening project resulted in the sale of the Lawrenceville property that we own to Gwinnett County on January 24, 2007. We have filed an appeal based on the amount of just and fair compensation, which includes the (a) fair market value of the property taken, (b) any consequential damage to the remaining property, and (c) any business loss resulting from the taking. As of March 8, 2007, we still occupied the building and continued to perform emission tests at the location. The final amount of compensation to be paid to Speedemissions by Gwinnett County for the building and land and the date we will have to vacate the premises was not known as of March 8, 2007. We intend to repay the $60,000 line of credit secured by the property and reinvest proceeds into new and existing stores. All of our facilities are believed to be in adequate condition for their intended purposes and adequately covered by insurance. The following table shows the store locations for our 34 stores as of December 31, 2006:

Overview

As of December 31, 2006 we operated 34 vehicle emissions testing stations and four mobile units in three separate markets, greater Atlanta, Georgia, Houston, Texas and greater Salt Lake City, Utah. We have three new stores under construction in the Houston market. 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 it passes or not, and a portion of that fee is passed on to the state governing agency. In Georgia, the maximum fee that we can charge is $25, and a fee of $6.95 is paid to the State of Georgia. In Texas, the maximum fee that we can charge is $39.50, for both an emissions test and a safety inspection, and a fee varying between approximately $5.50 and $14.00 per certificate, depending on the type of test is paid to the State of Texas. In Utah, there is not a maximum fee that we can charge in Salt Lake County. We charge $38 for an emissions test and $17 for a safety inspection and remit a fee of $1.80 to Salt Lake County per emissions certificate and $2.00 to the Utah Highway Patrol for each safety inspection. There is a maximum of $25 and $17 that we can charge in Weber County, Utah for an emissions test and safety inspection respectively. A fee of $3.00 is remitted to the County per emissions certificate and a $2.00 fee is remitted to the Utah Highway Patrol for each safety inspection. We currently operate seven stores in Salt Lake County and one store in Weber County.

We want to grow. We completed four acquisitions during 2004 and two acquisitions during 2005, which added 32 testing centers and four mobile units. In 2006 we opened one new store and closed a store after the new owner of the building would not renew the lease. We had three new stores in the Houston Texas area in the process of obtaining the necessary government approvals at December 31, 2006. We expect these three stores to open in the by June 30, 2007. In 2007, we intend to continue growing by opening company-owned stations and acquiring more competitors if we are able to obtain reasonable terms on additional equity or debt needed to fund the acquisitions.

As a result of our growth plans, our biggest challenge will be managing our growth and integrating our acquisitions. We have tried to attract qualified personnel to assist us with this growth, while keeping our overhead expenses manageable. We have not consistently operated at a profit, however we operated on a positive cash flow basis for the year ended 2006. However, if we are successful in implementing our growth strategy, we believe that our financial goals are achievable in the next 12 months. Until that time, we will have to continue to fund our operations through existing cash flow, and our acquisitions, with capital raised from selling our stock and/or acquiring debt.

Explanatory Paragraph in Report of Our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Our independent auditors have included an explanatory paragraph in their most recent report dated March 27, 2007, stating that our audited financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2006 were prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. However, they note that we have recurring losses from operations, past history of operating cash flow deficiencies and its limited capital resources raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

Our independent auditors included the explanatory paragraph based primarily on an objective test of our historical financial results. Although we agree that this explanatory paragraph is applicable when the objective test is applied, we believe that if we can successfully implement our business plan in the next fiscal year, future audit reports might be issued without this explanatory paragraph. Until such time, however, our going concern paragraph may be viewed by some shareholders and investors as an indication of financial instability, and it may impair our ability to raise capital. For additional disclosure, see Liquidity and Capital Resources.

Results of Operations

Introduction

Our operational results during 2006 reflect the positive impact of our 2005 acquisitions. During 2005 we made two acquisitions which resulted in the addition of six and eight emissions testing stations in Texas and Utah, respectively. Therefore, our revenues and operating expenses increased significantly in 2006 compared to 2005.

Year ended December 31, 2006 compared to the year ended December 31, 2005

Our revenue, cost of emission certificates (our cost of goods sold), store operating expenses, general and administrative expenses, and loss from operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared to the comparable period ended December 31, 2005 were as follows:

Revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2006, revenue increased $2,527,897 or 36% to $9,480,097 compared to $6,952,200 in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $2,822,829 in revenue from operating the fourteen additional stores acquired in Texas and Utah after June 30, 2005 for a full twelve months and an increase in existing same store sales in Georgia of $194,911, or 6% from 2005. We experienced a decrease in revenue of $203,692 from unprofitable stores closed in 2005 and a decrease in same store sales of $302,127, or 20% at six stores acquired in December 2004 from State Inspections of Texas.

Cost of emission certificates. Cost of emission certificates increased $351,178 or 17% to $2,401,461 in the year ended December 31, 2006 and was $2,401,461, or 25% of revenues, compared to $2,050,283 or 29% of revenues, during 2005. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $482,205 in cost of emission certificates from operating the fourteen additional stores acquired in Texas and Utah after June 30, 2005 for a full twelve months and an increase in existing same store certificate costs in Georgia of $34,855, or 4% from 2005. We experienced a decrease in the cost of certificates of $69,707 from unprofitable stores closed in 2005 and a decrease in same store certificate costs of $100,735, or 20% at six stores acquired in December 2004 from State Inspections of Texas.

Store operating expenses. Our store operating expenses increased $1,773,745 or 44% to $5,788,657 in the year ended December 31, 2006 and was 61% of revenues, compared to $4,014,912 or 58% of revenues during 2005. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $1,443,623 in store operating expense from operating the fourteen additional stores acquired in Texas and Utah after June 30, 2005 for a full twelve months, an increase in existing same store operating expenses in Georgia of $357,561, or 22% from 2005, an increase in existing same store operating expenses at six stores acquired in December 2004 from State Inspections of Texas in the amount $124,579, or 13%, offset by a net decrease of $237,254 from the closure and opening of stores from 2005 to 2006.

General and administrative expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2006, our general and administrative expenses decreased $837,616 or 34% to $1,601,505 from $2,439,121 in 2005. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to a reduction of $440,606 related to expenses associated with efforts to raise capital for future acquisition incurred in 2005 but not in 2006, a decrease in professional fees including legal and accounting of $402,411, a decrease in consulting and shareholders expense of $170,563, a decrease in payroll and payroll taxes of $24,151, offset by an increase of $237,028 in stock compensation expenses and an increase in rent expense of $22,821 as a result of moving our corporate office in 2006.

(Gain)/loss from disposal of non-strategic assets. For the year ended December 31, 2006, we recognized a gain of $61,449 from the disposal of non-strategic assets. We incurred a loss of $14,046 from the disposal of non-strategic assets in the year ended December 31, 2005.

Goodwill impairment expense. We determined that goodwill recorded from the acquisition of the assets of State Inspections of Texas, Inc. was impaired as of December 31, 2006 and 2005. The fair value of goodwill was determined using discounted cash flow techniques. The amount of the goodwill and related purchased assets impairment in 2006 and 2005 has

been calculated at $1,071,007 and $97,000, and is recorded in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005.

Warrant settlement expense For the year ended December 31, 2005, we recognized a one-time expense in the amount of $1,660,538 related to warrants issued as part of a settlement agreement with our two largest shareholders (See Note 9 in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

Interest expense, net loss and earnings per share. Our interest expense, net loss and earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2005 were as follows:

   $ (0.46 )   $ (1.43 )   (70 )%

Our interest expense decreased $215,893, or 95% to $11,122 in 2006 compared to $227,015 for 2005. The decrease was primarily due to the conversion of debt to equity and repayments on debt in 2005. Total long term debt, including the current portion, as of December 31, 2006 was $101,747.

During 2006, we had a net loss of $1,332,206 or ($0.46) per weighted-average share. During 2005, we reported a net loss of $3,688,638 or ($1.43) per weighted-average share. Our net loss in 2006 was favorably impacted in 2006 by the 2005 acquisitions of the 14 stores in Texas and Utah.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Introduction

We achieved a milestone in 2006 by generating positive operating cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2006. Net cash provided by operating activities in 2006 was $323,819 as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $(714,157) in 2005. With the 2005 acquisitions described above, and as we continue to implement our growth strategy, we anticipate an increase in our operating cash flow, but with the increased costs of expanding our operations, we may not achieve positive operating cash flow during 2007.

Both of our acquisitions during the year ended December 31, 2005, were funded from a private placement of $6,420,000 of our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants to Barron Partners, LP.

Our cash, current assets, total assets, current liabilities, and total liabilities as of December 31, 2006 as compared to December 31, 2005 were:

Cash Requirements

For the year ended December 31, 2006 our net cash provided by operating activities was $323,819, as compared to net cash used in operating activities of ($714,157) for the year ended December 31, 2005. Positive operating cash flows during 2006 were primarily created by a net loss of $1,332,206, an increase in other liabilities of $138,823, fully offset by; a goodwill impairment charge of $1,071,007, stock issued for services valued at $68,500, share based compensation expenses of $217,079 a net decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $122,925 and depreciation and amortization of $388,799.

Table of Contents

Negative operating cash flows during 2005 were primarily created by a net loss of $3,550,715, partially offset by: a net increase of $261,429 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, stock issued for services valued at $381,858, goodwill impairment charge of $97,000 and depreciation and amortization of $429,171.

Inflation has not had an abnormal or unanticipated effect on our operations. Our cost of emissions certificates does not fluctuate from year to year as the fee we pay to the state or local government agency remains constant over the state’s contract period with the administrator, which is usually five to seven years.

Sources and Uses of Cash

Net cash used in investing activities was $281,489 and $5,413,846, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. The investing activities during 2006 and 2005 involved primarily $100,000 and $5,314,273 used in the acquisition of businesses and capital expenditures of $196,343 and $133,573, respectively.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $27,674 and $6,361,799, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. Net cash provided during 2006 resulted primarily from a $60,000 bank line of credit, offset by payments on capitalized leases of $32,326.

Net cash provided during 2005 resulted primarily from the $5,906,400 in proceeds from the sale of convertible preferred stock, which is net of $513,600 associated financing costs, proceeds of $350,000 from the issuance of promissory notes to related parties and an increase of $195,000 resulting from a private placement of the Company’s common stock and warrants and net proceeds of $126,000 resulting from the issuance of convertible debentures.

We are not generating sufficient cash flow from operations to fund material growth as we continue to open and acquire new emission testing and safety inspection stations. If we can successfully complete one or more acquisitions of profitable businesses, then we anticipate that we can operate consisently at a profitable level. Until such time, however, and in order to complete the acquisitions, we will need to raise additional capital through the sale of our equity securities and or through debt financing. If we are unsuccessful in raising the required capital, we may have to delay the growth of our operations until such capital is available.

Secured Promissory Note dated December 30, 2004, in the principal amount of $1,285,000 plus accrued interest of $124,288.25 into (i) 1,409 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock with rights and preferences outlined in the Amended Certificate of Designation of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and (ii) a warrant to purchase 2,400,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.20 per share for a period of five years from the date of grant.

On August 24, 2005, we filed a Registration Statement on Form SB-2 registering approximately 84,829 shares of our common stock for sale by existing shareholders and approximately 27,702,433 shares of our common stock for sale by existing warrant and preferred stock holders upon the exercise of warrants or conversion of preferred stock. On October 7, 2005, we filed an amendment to the Registration Statement on Form SB-2/A. We filed two post-effective amendments to this Registration: one on December 5, 2005 and one on May 1, 2006.

On June 25, 2005, we converted seven identical unsecured promissory notes totaling $315,000 held by Calabria Advisors, LLC, an entity controlled by Mr. Parlontieri, plus accrued interest into 11,242 shares of our common stock.

On September 13, 2004, we filed a Registration Statement on Form SB-2 registering approximately 579,348 shares of our common stock for sale by existing shareholders and approximately 768,008 shares of our common stock for sale by existing warrant and preferred stock holders upon the exercise of warrants or conversion of preferred stock. We filed an amendment to the Registration Statement on Form SB-2/A on September 27, 2004. We filed a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement on September 30, 2005.

On June 16, 2004, the combined principal amount of $315,000 and accrued interest amount of approximately $9,000 outstanding under a series of our promissory notes were converted into 924,996 shares of our common stock at an exchange rate of $0.35 per common share.

On January 18, 2004, the combined principal amount of $225,000 and accrued interest amount of approximately $55,000 outstanding under one of our promissory notes were converted into 1,100,000 shares of our common stock at an exchange rate of $0.25 per common share.

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 its Board of Directors, the Company has identified accounting policies related to valuation of its common stock and for assessing whether any value should be assigned to a warrant that it believes 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 a key to an understanding of its financial statements. These are important accounting policies that require management’s most difficult, subjective judgments.

Item 8A. Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based upon that evaluation, as of December 31, 2006 our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our current disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

The design of any system of controls and procedures is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. There can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

Board Committees

Board Committee

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, the Board of Directors held six meetings. We currently have two standing committees of the Board of Directors: the Compensation Committee and the Audit Committee, which are described below. We do not presently have a standing Nominating Committee.

Nominating Committee

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, we did not have a standing Nominating Committee. The NASDAQ rules do not require the Company to have a nominating committee since we were a “controlled company” in that more than 50% of the voting common stock of the Company was held by GCA Strategic Investment Fund Ltd. The Board believes that there is no material benefit to the Company of having a separate nominating committee at this time in view of the size of the company, and the fact that we are controlled by one large shareholder. Nominees for election as a director are determined by the entire Board. The Board will make all decisions regarding Board nominees based upon the best interest of the Company and its shareholders.

Audit Committee

The Board of Directors has an Audit Committee comprised of Bradley A. Thompson and Michael E. Guirlinger. Mr. Thompson is considered an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 401(e)(2) of Regulation S-B. Mr. Guirlinger and Mr. Thompson are currently considered independent under NASDAQ Rule 4200(a)(15).

The Audit Committee held four meetings in 2006. The Audit Committee assists the Board of Directors in fulfilling its responsibility for oversight of the quality and integrity of the Company’s financial reporting process, including the system of internal controls.

Compensation Committee

Our Compensation Committee consists of two directors. The members of the Compensation Committee are Dr. Ernest Childs and John Bradley. Dr Childs and Mr. Bradley are considered independent under NASDAQ Rule 4200(a)(15). The primary purposes of the Compensation Committee is to assist the Board of Directors in its responsibilities relating to compensation and to determine the compensation arrangements for certain executive officers. The Compensation Committee is also charged with approving incentive compensation plans for executive management. Mr. Parlontieri, our President and Chief Executive Officer, makes recommendations to the compensation committee regarding the structure of compensation packages and discusses such recommendations with the committee. Mr. Parlontieri recuses himself from decisions regarding his own compensation. The Compensation Committee met four times in 2006.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company’s directors and executive officers and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of common stock and other equity securities of the Company. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent shareholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

Compensation of Directors

Our Directors receive $250 for each regularly scheduled board meeting that they attend, as well as reimbursement for their travel expenses. Pursuant to the SKTF, Inc. 2001 Stock Option Plan, in March 2005 we issued to each of Bradley Thompson and Bahram Yusefzadeh, a former director options to acquire 7,500 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share, exercisable for a period of ten years. On June 29, 2005 and August 26, 2005, we issued options to acquire 2,500 shares of our common stock under our 2001 Stock Option Plan to Erik Sander, a former director and Ernest A. Childs, respectively. The options vested immediately and are exercisable at $2.00 per share for a period of ten years. In December 2005, we issued options to acquire 5,000 shares of our common stock under our 2005 Plan to each of our directors serving at that time, Erik Sander (who resigned from our board in June 2006), Ernest A. Childs, Bahram Yusefzadeh (who resigned from our board in June 2006), and Bradley A. Thompson. One-third of the options vested immediately upon issue and an additional one-third vest on each of the anniversary dates of the grant in 2006 and 2007 and are exercisable at $1.00 per share for a period of ten years. On October 1, 2006, Ernest A. Childs, Bradley A. Thompson, Michael E. Guirlinger and John Bradley each received 75,000 options under the 2006 Stock Grant and Option Plan. One-third of the options vested immediately upon issue and an additional one-third will vest on each of the anniversary dates of the grant in 2007 and 2008 and are exercisable at $0.58 per share for a period of ten years.

Employment Agreements and Compensation of Officers

Effective September 15, 2003, we entered into a three-year employment agreement with Richard A. Parlontieri, our President and Chief Executive Officer. This employment agreement was amended on December 19, 2003 and on October 23, 2006. Under the terms of the agreement, Mr. Parlontieri received a salary of $180,000 per year, plus an automobile and expense allowance, and is eligible for an annual bonus as set forth in the agreement. In January 2006, the Compensation Committee approved a three-year extension and a salary increase to $190,000 pursuant to the salary adjustment term of the employment agreement. The agreement may be terminated by us for cause, in which case Mr. Parlontieri would not be entitled to severance compensation, or without cause, in which case Mr. Parlontieri would be entitled to the balance of his salary due under the agreement, plus other compensation earned through the date of termination. If Mr. Parlontieri’s employment terminates due to a change of control of our company, Mr. Parlontieri is entitled to receive his base salary multiplied by three.

Mr. Parlontieri’s bonus plan in 2006 was structured so that the Board of Directors would evaluate the Company’s performance on increases in revenue and EBITDA. The thresholds of the bonus plan’s Core Objectives were set by the compensation committee at $9.7 million revenue, $750,000 EBITDA and 70% directors evaluation. Each of the following Core Objectives and director’s evaluation make-up a weighted average of the 100% total: 1) Increase in Company revenue – 40% , 2) Increase in bottom line EBITDA – 40% and 3) Relationship with directors, employees and shareholders – 20%. The thresholds were not met in 2006 and there were no bonuses paid or accrued to Mr. Parlontieri in 2006.

On February 22, 2005, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors issued to Mr. Parlontieri warrants to acquire 25,000 shares of our common stock at $2.50 per share, the fair market value of our common stock based on the closing bid price on the date of grant.

In March 2005, Mr. Parlontieri was granted options to purchase up to 3,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share for a period of ten years. In December 2005, Mr. Parlontieri was granted options to purchase up to 150,000 shares of our common stock, at $1.00 per shares for a period of ten years.

On February 22, 2005, and again on April 11, 2005, we issued 25,000 shares of our common stock to Calabria Advisors, LLC, an entity controlled by Mr. Parlontieri, for services rendered.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy. Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the audit committee of the board of directors is responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of the independent auditor. As part of this responsibility, the audit committee is required to pre- approve the audit and non-audit services performed by the independent auditor in order to assure that they do not impair the auditor’s independence from Speedemissions. To implement these provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the SEC has issued rules specifying the types of services that an independent auditor may not provide to its audit client and governing the audit committee’s administration of the engagement of the independent auditor.

Audit Services. Audit services in the annual audit engagement include the annual financial statement audit (including required quarterly reviews), subsidiary audits, equity investment audits and other procedures required to be performed by the independent auditor in order for the independent auditor to form an opinion on Speedemissions’ consolidated financial statements. These other procedures include information systems and procedural reviews and testing performed in order to understand and place reliance on the systems of internal control and consultations relating to the annual audit or quarterly review. Audit services also include the engagement for the independent auditor’s report on the effectiveness of internal controls for financial reporting and on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of such internal controls. In addition to the audit services included in the annual audit engagement, the Audit Committee may approve other audit services. Other audit services are those services that only the independent auditor can reasonably provide and include statutory audits or financial audits for our subsidiaries or affiliates and services associated with SEC registration statements, periodic reports and other documents we file with the SEC or other documents issued in connection with a securities offering.

Audit-Related Services. Audit-related services are assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements or that are traditionally performed by the independent auditor. The Audit Committee may grant pre-approval to audit-related services if the provision of audit-related services does not impair the independence of the auditor and is consistent with SEC rules on auditor independence. Audit-related services include accounting consultations relating to accounting, financial reporting or disclosure matters not classified as “audit services,” assistance with understanding and implementing new accounting and financial reporting guidance from rule-making authorities, financial audits of employee benefit plans, and assistance with internal control reporting requirements.

Tax Services. Our Audit Committee believes that the independent auditor can provide tax services to Speedemissions such as tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice without impairing the auditor’s independence, and the SEC has stated that the independent auditor may provide such services. The Audit Committee may grant pre-approval to those tax services that the Audit Committee believes would not impair the independence of the auditor and are consistent with SEC rules on auditor independence.

Other Non-Audit Services. Our Audit Committee believes, based on the SEC’s rules prohibiting the independent auditor from providing specific non-audit services, that certain types of non-audit services are permitted. Accordingly, the Audit Committee believes it may grant pre-approval for those permissible non-audit services that it believes are routine and recurring services, would not impair the independence of the auditor, and are consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence. Our Audit Committee may not pre-approve any of SEC’s prohibited non-audit services.

Pre-Approval Procedures.

Annual Audit Engagement. Our Audit Committee appoints the independent auditor of Speedemissions and pre-approves the services to be provided in connection with the preparation or issuance of the annual audit report or related work. The annual audit services are set forth in an engagement letter prepared by the independent auditor which is submitted to the Audit Committee for approval. The independent auditors report directly to the Audit Committee. Audit services within the scope of the engagement letter are deemed to have been pre-approved by our Audit Committee.

Pre-Approval of Other Audit and Non-Audit Services. Other audit services, audit-related services, tax services, and other non-audit services may be pre-approved by our Audit Committee either on a specific case-by-case basis as services are needed or on a pre-approval basis for services that are expected to be needed. Our management may submit requests for pre-approval of eligible services by the independent auditor from time to time to our Audit Committee. The request for approval must be sufficiently detailed as to the particular services to be provided so that the Audit Committee knows precisely what services it is being asked to pre-approve and so that it can make a well reasoned assessment of the impact of the service on the auditor’s independence. Budgeted amounts or fee levels for services to be provided by the independent auditor must be submitted with the request for pre-approval. Our Audit Committee will be informed of the services rendered by the independent auditor. Management will immediately report to the chairman of the Audit Committee any services that are not in compliance with the pre-approval policy that comes to the attention of any member of management.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors

Speedemissions, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying restated consolidated balance sheets of Speedemissions, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related restated consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As discussed in Note 1, certain errors were discovered and corrected by management in the accompanying restated financial statements.

In our opinion, the restated consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Speedemissions, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying restated consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the restated financial statements, the Company’s recurring losses from operations, past history of operating cash flow deficiencies and its limited capital resources raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The restated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

As discussed in Note 7 to the restated financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for its employee stock option plans in 2006.

Speedemissions, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1: Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Emissions Testing, Inc. was incorporated on May 5, 2000 under the laws of the state of Georgia for the primary business purpose of opening, acquiring, developing and operating vehicle emission testing stations. Effective as of March 19, 2002, Emissions Testing, Inc. and Speedemissions, LLC merged and changed its name to Speedemissions, Inc. Effective as of June 16, 2003, Speedemissions, Inc. (“Speedemissions” or the “Company”) entered into an acquisition agreement with SKTF Enterprises, Inc. (“SKTF”). Pursuant to the acquisition agreement, SKTF acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Speedemissions in exchange for approximately 900,000 shares of SKTF common stock, which were issued to the stockholders of Speedemissions. Accordingly, Speedemissions became a wholly owned subsidiary of SKTF, a Florida corporation.

SKTF was a development stage company that had not begun operations and had no revenues and a minimal amount of assets and liabilities. For accounting purposes, Speedemissions was viewed as the acquiring entity and accounted for the transaction as a reverse acquisition. Accounting and reporting guidance indicates that the merger of a private operating company into a non-operating public shell corporation with nominal net assets is in substance a capital transaction rather than a business combination. That is, the transaction is equivalent to the private company issuing common stock for the net monetary assets of the shell corporation, accompanied by a recapitalization.

The accumulated deficit of Speedemissions was carried forward subsequent to the acquisition. Results of operations subsequent to the date of acquisition reflect the consolidated results of operations of Speedemissions and SKTF. Operations for periods prior to the acquisition reflect those of Speedemissions. Assets and liabilities of Speedemissions and SKTF have been consolidated at their historical cost carrying amounts at the date of acquisition.

Effective on September 5, 2003, SKTF Enterprises, Inc. changed its name to Speedemissions, Inc. For ease of reference, these notes and the accompanying consolidated financial statements continue to refer to “SKTF” and “Speedemissions” in the context of their legal names prior to the September 5, 2003 name change.

On June 30, 2005, the Company purchased all of the outstanding common stock of Mr. Sticker, Inc., (“MS”) a Houston, Texas, company that operated six (6) emissions testing stations in the Houston, Texas area. The purchase price was $3,100,000 in cash plus 18,300 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $43,000. From the date of acquisition forward, Mr. Sticker’s financial results have been consolidated, as a wholly owned subsidiary.

On September 8, 2005, the Company purchased all of the outstanding common stock of Just, Inc., (“JI”) a Salt Lake City, Utah company that operated eight (8) emissions testing stations in the Salt Lake City, Utah area. The purchase price was $2,300,000 in cash plus 142,858 shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at $200,000, which was included in accrued liabilities as the shares were not issued as of December 31, 2005. The Company issued 71,430 shares in September 2006 reducing the accrued liability to the owners of Just, Inc. as of December 31, 2006 to $100,000 or 71,429 shares, which the Company will issue in 2007. From the date of acquisition forward, JI’s financial results have been consolidated, as a wholly owned subsidiary.

On January 20, 2006, the Company effected a 1 for 10 reverse stock split of its common stock. All references in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements to the number of shares of common stock and common share equivalents and loss per share have been retroactively restated to reflect the reverse stock split. As a result of the reverse stock split, the Company’s ticker symbol changed from “SPEM” to “SPMI” on the OTC Bulletin Board.

Restatement of Financial Statements

The accompanying financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, have been restated to correct errors through certain reclassifications and the expansion of certain disclosures in the notes to financial statements as set forth below.

 

   

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock has been reclassified from Shareholder’s Equity as a result of certain conditions that are outside the control of the Company that could trigger redemption of those securities.

 

   

Reclassified deferred compensation from Shareholder’s Equity to accrued liabilities in the amount of $17,437. Due to the immaterial amount, the Company will write-off the balance in the 2007 operational results.

 

   

Expanded note disclosures as follows:

 

   

Note 1 – Goodwill - to describe the methodology utilized by the Company in the determination of whether impairment has occurred.

 

   

Note 7 – Equity Transactions:

 

   

Preferred Stock - to disclose the allocation of gross proceeds from a private placement relating to Preferred Stock B.

 

   

Common Stock - details regarding the issuance of common stock for services provided.

 

   

Stock Incentive Plans - certain disclosures required by SFAS 123R added.

 

   

Warrants - added a) a reconciliation of warrant activity for the periods presented, b) assumptions utilized to determine the fair value of the warrants issued and c) a description of the value assigned for the non cash transactions.

 

   

Additional Warrants – modified the table of warrants outstanding to include a 10,000 warrant issue that was previously omitted.

 

   

Note – 9 Related Parties – more fully described the accounting effects of components of a warrant settlement expense recognized.

 

   

Note 11 – Risk and Uncertainties – added a new category “Potential Control Relationship by Existing Shareholders”.

Consolidation

The accompanying restated consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Speedemissions, MS, JI and SKTF as discussed in Note 1. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

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.

 

F-6


Table of Contents

As of December 31, 2006, the Company operated thirty-four (34) emissions testing stations and four (4) mobile units in greater metropolitan areas of Atlanta, Georgia; Houston, Texas; and Salt Lake City, Utah, with three under construction in the Houston, Texas area. The Company does business under the trade names Speedemissions, Mr. Sticker and Sticker Stop (Texas) and Just Inc. (Utah). At its emissions testing stations, the Company uses computerized emissions testing equipment and safety inspection equipment that tests 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 vehicle’s emissions while in neutral and “enhanced” testing systems that test a vehicle’s emissions under simulated driving conditions.

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 period. Significant estimates included in these financial statements relate to useful lives of certain assets and the valuation of long-term assets such as goodwill. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized as the testing services are performed. The cost of emissions certificates is shown separately in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations

The Company normally requires that the customer’s payment be made with cash, check, or credit card; accordingly, the Company does not have significant levels of accounts receivable.

Under current Georgia, 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 are not material. Accordingly, no allowance for retest is recorded by the Company.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives, as follows: building, fifteen years; emission testing equipment, five to seven years; and furniture, fixtures and office equipment, three to five years, and vehicles three years.

Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the lesser of the remaining lease terms, including renewal periods expected to be exercised, or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Property and Equipment

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the Company reviews its assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. When indicators of impairment are present, the Company evaluates the carrying amount of such assets in relation to the operating performance and future estimated undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets or underlying businesses. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. The assessment of the recoverability of assets will be impacted if estimated future operating cash flows are not achieved. In the opinion of management, property and equipment relating to the equipment recorded from the acquisition of the assets of State Inspections of Texas, Inc. was impaired as of December 31, 2006. The Company reduced the equipment purchased by its net book value of $64,408. The Company recorded this charge in 2006 as part of its goodwill and related equipment impairment charge in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2006.

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 also whenever an impairment indicator arises.

 

F-7


Table of Contents

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.

At December 31, 2006 and 2005, we compared the fair value of the individual reporting units for which the goodwill relates to their respective carrying amounts, including goodwill. In the opinion of management, goodwill was impaired as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 relating to the goodwill recorded from the acquisition of the assets of State Inspections of Texas, Inc. The Company wrote off the remaining recorded value of the goodwill and related purchased assets of State Inspections of Texas, Inc. and recorded an impairment charge of $1,071,007 and $97,000 in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005.

Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes are recognized for the effect of temporary differences between financial reporting and tax filing in accordance with the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income and net operating losses in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense totaled $21,972 in 2006 and $22,206 in 2005.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses consist of payroll and related expenses for employees involved in general corporate functions, including accounting and human relations, among others; costs associated with use by these functions of facilities and equipment, such as depreciation expense and rent; professional fees; and other general corporate costs.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and other short-term liabilities, approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these accounts.

Net Loss Per Common Share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders for the period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted average number of common and potential common shares outstanding during the period, if the effect of the potential common shares is dilutive. As a result of the Company’s net losses, all potentially dilutive securities would be anti-dilutive and are excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share. Excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share were options to purchase 2,290,625 shares and 318,475 shares of common stock for 2006 and 2005, respectively as the effect would be anti-dilutive. Warrants to purchase 17,700,437 shares and 17,500,437 shares of common stock for 2006 and 2005, respectively were also excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share as the effect would be anti-dilutive. In addition, convertible preferred stock of 23,037,498 for 2006 and 2005 were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share as the effect would be anti-dilutive.

Stock-Based Compensation

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”), which establishes accounting for equity instruments exchanged for employee services. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 123R, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant). Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for share-based compensation to employees in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”) and related interpretations. The Company also followed the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, as amended by SFAS 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure”. The Company elected to adopt the modified prospective transition method as provided by SFAS 123R and, accordingly, financial statement amounts for the prior periods presented in this Form 10-KSB have not been restated to reflect the fair value method of expensing share-based compensation. See Note 7 for additional disclosures.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. (FIN) 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, which prescribes 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. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 will be effective beginning in the first quarter of 2007. We are presently evaluating whether the adoption of this interpretation will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 2: Going Concern

The Company has historically incurred losses and has not yet generated a profit and its limited capital resources, raised substantial doubt about the Company’s 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 its capital needs.

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, including expanding its revenue opportunities through the acquisitions of Mr. Sticker and Just Inc. in 2005, 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. As a result of these actions, the Company operated at a profit in each of the quarters ended March 31, 2006, June 30, 2006 and September 30, 2006. However, the profits generated in these quarters were not enough to cover losses incurred as a result of additional operating expenses from new stores that the Company opened or was in the process of opening during the fourth quarter of 2006 and the stock compensation expense as required by SFAS 123R for the issuance of stock options during the fourth quarter, and an impairment charge recorded against goodwill and related assets.

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 6: Leasing Activities

Operating Leases

The Company leases office space and land and buildings for certain of its emission testing stations. The leases generally require that the Company pay taxes, maintenance, and insurance. The leases for the emission testing stations are renewable, at the option of the Company, for specified periods. Management expects that, in the normal course of business, leases that expire will be renewed or replaced by other leases. Certain leases have been personally guaranteed by the President of the Company.

Certain leases contain scheduled base rent increases over the terms of the leases. The total amount of base rent payments is charged to expense on a straight-line basis over the lease terms. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the excess of rent expense over cash payments was approximately $260,000 and $143,000 respectively. Such amount is included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Note 7: Equity Transactions

Preferred Stock

On January 21, 2004, the Company completed a private placement of 2,500 shares of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) and 250,000 common stock purchase warrants (the “Warrants”) to GCA Strategic Investment Fund Limited (“GCA Fund”), an existing affiliate shareholder of the Company, in exchange for gross proceeds to the Company of $2,500,000. Net proceeds to the Company after the payment of a advisor fee and offering expenses was $2,234,000.

The Preferred Stock accrued a dividend of 7% per annum, and each share of Preferred Stock is convertible into 833.33 shares of the Company’s common stock, or 2,083,333 shares of common stock in the aggregate. As of October 14, 2005, pursuant to the articles of amendment, the Preferred Stock no longer accrued dividends. The Warrants are exercisable for a period of five years from the date of grant at an exercise price of $1.20 per share of common stock to be acquired upon exercise. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company preferred stockholders are entitled to be paid prior to any preference of any other payment or distribution.

On June 30, 2005 the Company completed a private placement of 2,500,000 shares of its Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred B Stock”) and 4,390,000 common stock purchase warrants (“B-1 Warrants” and “B-2 Warrants”) to Barron Partners LP, in exchange for gross proceeds to the Company of $6,420,000. Net proceeds to the Company after the payment of advisors fees and offering expenses was $5,906,400. The gross proceeds from the private placement were allocated to the Preferred B Stock and warrants in accordance with Emerging Issue Task Force 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios (“EITF 98-5”) and Emerging Issue Task Force 00-27, Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments (“00-27”). In accordance with EITF 98-5, $6,313,528 of the gross proceeds was allocated to the Preferred B Stock and $106,472 was allocated to additional paid in capital related to the warrants. We analyzed the Preferred B Stock for the existence of a beneficial conversion feature by taking into account that the holder of this security was limited in the number of shares that could be converted up to a maximum of 4.99% of the outstanding common stock. As a result of this limitation, we computed the effective conversion price based on the number of shares that the holder of the Preferred B Stock could convert. Since the effective conversion price exceeded the current share price, we determined that there was no beneficial conversion relating to the Preferred B Stock at the time of issuance.

In addition to the cash portion of the advisors fee, the Company issued 285,000 common stock purchase warrants to Prospect Financial Advisors, LLC, which are exercisable for a period of five years from the date of grant at an exercise price of $0.60 per share of common stock to be acquired upon exercise. The Company also issued 50,000 common stock purchase warrants to Strasbourger, LLC as a finder’s fee, which are exercisable for a period of three years from the date of grant at an exercise price of $2.00 per share of common stock to be acquired upon exercise. On June 30, 2005, the Company used $3,100,000 of the net proceeds from the Preferred B Stock placement to purchase all of the outstanding common stock of Mr. Sticker. On September 8, 2005, the Company used or committed to pay at a future date, in accordance with the terms of the purchase agreement, $2,300,000 of the net proceeds from the Preferred B Stock placement to purchase all of the outstanding common stock of Just, Inc. The remainder of the net proceeds, or $446,400, was retained by the Company for current working capital.

The Preferred B Stock does not pay a dividend and has no voting rights. Each share of Preferred B Stock was convertible into 4.28 shares of the Company’s common stock or 10,700,000 shares of common stock in the aggregate. The 2,500,000 B-1 Warrants were exercisable for a period of five years from the date of grant at an exercise price of $2.40 per share of common stock to be acquired upon exercise. The 1,890,000 B-2 Warrants were exercisable for a period of five years from the date of grant at an exercise price of $4.80 per share of common stock to be acquired upon exercise. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company preferred stockholders were entitled to be paid prior to any preference of any other payment or distribution.

On August 4, 2005, we entered into an Amendment to the Series B Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, and received an additional $195,000 in cash, which modified the Agreement as follows:

 

  a. the Investor purchased $6,615,000 of our Preferred B Stock;

 

  b. the B-1 Warrants were increased to 2,621,495 shares at $2.40 per share, the B-2 Warrants were increased to 1,965,934 shares at $4.80 per share, and an additional common stock purchase warrant was issued for 4,000,000 shares at $1.20 per share. We may call the $1.20 warrants if our stock price exceeds $2.40 for fifteen (15) consecutive trading days;

Table of Contents
  c. Each of the Preferred B Stock is convertible into 7.56 shares of our common stock, subject to adjustment if certain conditions are met, for a total of 18,900,000 shares of common stock, has a liquidation preference equal to its purchase price, and has no voting rights; and

 

  d. the exercise of the warrants, including the call provision on the $1.20 warrants, and the conversion of the Preferred B Stock are subject to a maximum ownership by the Investor at any time of 4.9% although this limitation may be revoked upon sixty-one days notice by Barron Partners with respect to the shares underlying the warrants.

On October 14, 2005, the combined principal amount of $2,045,000 and accrued interest amount of approximately $285,000 outstanding under several promissory notes, with GCA Fund and GCFG, were converted into 2,330 shares of the Company’s Series A convertible preferred stock. Each share of Series A convertible preferred stock is convertible into 833.33 shares of the Company’s common stock or 1,941,659 shares of common stock in the aggregate. See Note 9 for additional information.

On October 14, 2005, GCA Fund, a majority shareholder converted accrued preferred dividends of $302,847 into 303 shares of the Company’s Series A convertible preferred stock. Each share of Series A convertible preferred stock is convertible into 833.33 shares of the Company’s common stock or 252,499 shares of common stock in the aggregate. GCA Fund and the Company agreed to terminate the dividend feature on the Series A convertible preferred stock as of the conversion date. See Note 9 for additional information.

performance stock rewards. As of December 31, 2006, only stock options have been granted to employees and non-employee directors.

The Company’s Stock Option Plan 2001 (“2001 Plan”) is authorized to grant eligible employees and non-employee directors up to 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Options granted under this plan vested immediately, with the exception of 40,000 shares of common stock that vested annually in three equal installments.

The Company’s Stock Option Plan 2005 (“2005 Plan”) is authorized to grant eligible employees and non-employee directors up to 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Options granted under this plan generally vest annually in three equal installments. The plan provides for the automatic adjustment of the number of authorized shares on September 1st of each year. The amount of the adjustment to the authorized shares eligible to be issued under the plan is equal to 10% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock on August 31st of each year. There were 2,892,098 common shares outstanding on August 31, 2006. As a result, the authorized number of shares eligible to be granted was automatically increased by 39,210 shares to 289,210 on September 1, 2006.

The Company’s Board of Directors and stockholders approved Speedemissions’ Inc. 2006 Stock Grant and Option Plan (“2006 Plan”), effective September 18, 2006, pursuant to which 2,000,000 shares of common stock were authorized to grant to eligible employees and non-employee directors issuance under the 2006 Plan.

On October 1, 2006, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved the grant of 1,979,600 stock options to employees and non-employee directors under the 2006 Plan at an exercise price of $0.58 per share.

These plans do not allow for the exercise of options after ten years from the date of grant. At December 31, 2006, there were 93,585 stock options available to be granted under these plans. As of December 31, 2006, options to purchase a total of 2,290,625 shares had been granted under these three plans and options to purchase 893,725 shares were exercisable.

Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” (“SFAS No. 123(R)”) using the modified-prospective-transition method. Under this transition method, compensation cost in 2006 includes cost for options granted prior to but not vested as of December 31, 2005, and options and warrants vested in 2006. Therefore results for prior periods have not been restated.

As a result of adopting SFAS No. 123(R), the Company recorded $217,079 in expense during the year ended December 31, 2006.

All warrants issued were fully vested within the calendar year in which they were granted.

Prior to January 1, 2005, the Company issued warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock to certain members of its board of directors, investors, consultants, creditors and others.

On January 26, 2005, we executed a promissory note in favor of GCA Fund, a majority shareholder, in the principal amount of $350,000, and on that date we received funds in the same amount. Under the terms of the note, we were obligated to repay the entire principal amount, plus interest at the rate of 8% per year, on April 26, 2005. Effective on October 14, 2005, in connection with the Settlement Agreement, we converted the outstanding balance plus accrued interest into 369 shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. In connection with the transaction on January 26, 2005, we issued to GCA Fund warrants to acquire 10,000 shares of our common stock, exercisable for a period of five years at $3.57 per share, which exercise price has been adjusted to $1.20 as part of the Settlement Agreement. We also issued to Global Capital Advisors, LLC, the investment advisory to GCA Fund, warrants to acquire 10,000 shares of our common stock, exercisable for a period of five years at $3.57 per share. The warrant issued to Global Capital Advisors, LLC was not adjusted as part of the Settlement Agreement and remains at the issued terms. The fair value of these warrants were calculated on the date of issuance using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: Risk-Free Interest rate = 3.0%; Expected Volatility = 45%; Expected Dividend Yield = 0.0%; Life = 5 years. Loan costs of $28,292 relating to the fair value of the warrants were capitalized.

On February 22, 2005, we issued warrants to acquire up to 25,000 shares of our common stock, restricted in accordance with Rule 144, to Richard A. Parlontieri, our President, Chief Executive Officer, and a Director. These warrants were issued as incentive compensation for his work for us and at an exercise price of $2.50 per share. The fair value calculated using Black- Scholes was $20,000.

On March 10, 2005, we issued warrants to acquire up to 25,000 shares of our common stock, restricted in accordance with Rule 144, to two principals of GCA at an exercise price of $2.50 per share. The fair value was determined using Black- Scholes was $20,000.

We computed the fair value of the warrants as of the date of the grant utilizing the Black-Scholes options pricing model and assumptions above. We expensed the total amount of the computed fair value ($60,152) in the quarters that the vesting occurred. The described issuances were exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, and the consultants are sophisticated investors and familiar with our operations.

As of December 31, 2006, warrants to purchase a total of 17,710,437 shares of common stock were outstanding at exercise prices ranging from $0.10 to $10.50. All outstanding warrants are vested, currently exercisable and expire at various dates through January 2011.

Additional Warrants

As discussed in Note 1, in connection with the acquisition of Speedemissions by SKTF, Speedemissions issued a warrant to V2R, LLC (“V2R”), an entity controlled by a minority shareholder and director. The warrant entitles V2R to purchase 2,500 shares of Speedemissions common stock at an exercise price of $.10 per share. At December 31, 2006, the warrant was exercisable.

On February 18, 2004, in accordance with authorization by the Board of Directors on January 21, 2004, the Company issued 90,000 warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock to its President. Each warrant entitles the President to purchase one share of common stock. The exercise price for 45,000 of the warrants is $7.50, with the remaining 45,000 having an exercise price of $10.50. Each of the two separately priced warrant issues expire on February 17, 2009 and each vested 15,000 warrants immediately and the remaining 30,000 warrants vested in two equal parts of 15,000 warrants on January 1, 2005 and January 1, 2006. The Company did not assign a value to the warrants upon issuance as the value was deemed immaterial.

In conjunction with the GCFG Exchange Agreement, we granted to GCFG registration rights with respect to the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the warrants and preferred stock issued to GCFG. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement with GCFG dated October 14, 2005, we agreed to prepare and file a registration statement for the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the GCFG Stock and GCFG Warrant and to use our best efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective.

As part of the Settlement Agreement, we entered into an Exchange Agreement with GCA dated effective as of October 14, 2005 exchanging the GCA Stock and the GCA Warrant for the following debt and rights held by GCA: (i) the $300,000 Note; (ii) the $110,000 Note; (iii) the $350,000 Note and (iv) $302,847 in cumulative dividends due and owing under the then existing 2,500 shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

The following is a summary of how we calculated the components of the warrant settlement expense which is reflected in the Statement of Operations:

 

  a. The value assigned to the Preferred Stock A issued to GCFG represented the outstanding balance of the note and the related accrued interest at the time of the settlement agreement. The value of the warrant to purchase 2,400,000 shares of common stock was computed using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and was determined to be $964,310.

 

  b. The value assigned to the Preferred Stock A issued to GCA represented the outstanding balance of the note, the related accrued interest at the settlement agreement and the amount of accrued Preferred Stock A dividends. The value of the warrants to purchase 1,600,000 shares of common stock was computed using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and was determined to be $642,847.

 

  c. The value of the 4,000,000 warrants issued to Barron was computed using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Since there is a restriction associated with this warrant limiting its exercise to 4.99% of the Preferred Stock B holder’s holdings, the value assigned to the warrant was $53,354.

The value assigned to the Preferred Stock A was equivalent to the value of the Company’s common stock as to which the Preferred Stock A was convertible on the date of the Settlement agreement. As a result, the Company did not recognize a gain or loss on the exchange of the debt, and the Preferred Stock A did not contain a beneficial conversion.

The Black-Scholes option pricing model utilized in these computations used the following assumptions:

 

Risk free interest rate

   3.0 %

Expected life

   3 years  

Expected volatility

   45.0 %

Expected dividend yield

   None  

The aggregate fair value of each of the warrants issued in connection with the Preferred Stock A ($1,660,511) was immediately expensed and reflected in the Statements of Operations as the Warrant Settlement Expense as the related debt is no longer outstanding.

The amended warrant agreements which modified the exercise price of the existing outstanding warrants did not result in a charge to the Statement of Operations. The Company treated the modifications as a capital transaction as the warrants were not related to outstanding debt of the Company and the accounting effect would be a reclassification within additional paid-in-capital with a zero net effect.

Note 11: Risk and Uncertainties

Regulatory Impact

The current and future demand for the Company’s services is substantially dependent upon federal, state, local, and foreign legislation and regulations mandating air pollution controls and emissions testing. If any or all of these governmental agencies should change their positions or eliminate or revise their requirements related to air pollution controls and emissions testing (including a shift to centralized facilities versus decentralized facilities), the Company could experience a significant adverse impact on its financial position and results of operations.

Contingencies

The Company may 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 or operations.

Arrangement with Shareholders

The Company is required to maintain a majority of independent directors on the Board of Directors or a majority of independent directors on both the audit committee and compensation committee. In addition, the Company must maintain the effectiveness of a resale registration statement for shares held by a shareholder. Failure to do so could result in liquidated damages equal to 24% of the purchase price of the Series B Preferred Stock and Stock Warrants.

 

F-23


Table of Contents

If we fail to maintain the effectiveness of a resale registration statement for the shares held by Barron, then we must pay to Barron in the form of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock an amount equal to 24% of the purchase price of $6,615,000 paid by Barron for the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and common stock warrants per annum for each day the resale registration is not effective.

If a shareholder other than GCA Fund and its affiliate acquires a beneficial ownership of greater than 33 1/3% or more of outstanding common stock of the Company without prior approval of GCA Fund, the Company might be required to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock.

Potential Control Relationship by Existing Shareholders

We have a large amount of outstanding common stock held by a single shareholder, and a large amount of common stock that could be acquired by a second shareholder upon conversion of preferred stock and exercise of warrants, which if sold could have a negative impact on our stock price. The Company had 2,963,528 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2006. As of December 31, 2006, our largest shareholder, GCA Strategic Investment Fund Limited, and its affiliates, own 1,457,062 shares of our common stock. Upon exercise of all outstanding warrants at the exercise price of $1.20 per share and conversion of their Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, GCA Strategic Investment Fund Limited could own up to 10,056,859 shares of our common stock. As of December 31, 2006, Barron Partners LP could acquire up to 31,487,430 shares of our common stock upon the exercise of outstanding warrants at the exercise price of $1.20 per share and the conversion of their Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. If either of these shareholders sold a large number of shares of our common stock into the public market it would have a negative impact on our stock price.

Note 12: Subsequent Event

The Georgia Department of Transportation and Gwinnett County plan a road widening project at the site of our Lawrenceville, Georgia store. We own the land and the building. As a result, Gwinnett County, filed a declaration of taking and condemnation petition on January 24, 2007, taking the majority of the property. We have filed an appeal based on the amount of just and fair compensation, which includes the (a) fair market value of the property taken, (b) any consequential damage to the remaining property, and (c) any business loss resulting from the taking. As of March 8, 2007, we still occupied the building and continued to perform emission tests at the location. The final amount of compensation to be paid to Speedemissions by Gwinnett County for the building and land and the date we will have to vacate the premises was not known as of March 8, 2007. Once received, we will use the proceeds from the sale of the property to the county to repay $60,000 bank debt on the property and reinvest the remaining funds into new and existing stores.

Note 13: Significant Fourth Quarter Adjustments

In accordance with SFAS 142 and SFAS 144, the Company reviewed the carrying amount of goodwill and purchased assets in relation to the operating performance and future estimated discounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets and underlying stores previously acquired. During the fourth quarter of 2006, we determined that goodwill and purchased assets recorded from the acquisition of the assets of State Inspections of Texas, Inc was impaired due to continued net operating losses at these six stores located in Texas. The impairment recognized was measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the net assets. The fair value of goodwill and related purchased assets were determined using discounted cash flow techniques. The amount of the goodwill and related purchased assets impairment expensed during the fourth quarter was $1,071,007. The goodwill recorded for the five Mr. Sticker stores located in Texas that were acquired in 2005 was not impaired as of December 31, 2006.
