Speedemissions, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2010

(Unaudited)

Note 1: Nature of Operations

Description of Business

Speedemissions, Inc. (“Speedemissions” or the “Company”) performs vehicle emissions testing and safety inspections in certain cities in which vehicle emissions testing is mandated by the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”). The federal government and a number of state and local governments in the United States (and in certain foreign countries) mandate vehicle emissions testing as a method of improving air quality. As of September 30, 2010, the Company operated 40 vehicle emissions testing and safety inspection stations under the trade names of Speedemissions (Atlanta, Georgia and St. Louis, Missouri); Mr. Sticker (Houston, Texas); and Just Emissions (Salt Lake City, Utah). The Company also operates four mobile testing units in the Atlanta, Georgia area. The Company manages its operations based on these four regions and has one reportable segment.

At its vehicle emissions testing and safety inspection stations, the Company uses computerized emissions testing equipment and safety inspection equipment that tests vehicles for compliance with emissions and safety standards.

On June 22, 2010, the Company announced the launch of its first iPhone application, Carbonga. Carbonga is an iPhone application that diagnoses an automobile’s computer systems using the on board diagnostic port on vehicles that are 1996 or newer. Carbonga can check over 2,000 vehicle fault codes.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) as codified in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position and results of operations. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full year. The financial statements and related notes do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual reports. This quarterly report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date of filing its Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Other than as described in Note 12: Subsequent Event, the Company is not aware of any significant events that occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date but prior to the filing of this report that would have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Speedemissions and its non-operating subsidiaries, which are 100% owned by the Company. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates included in these financial statements relate to useful lives of property and equipment, the valuation allowance provided against deferred tax assets and the valuation of long-lived assets and goodwill. Actual results could differ from those estimates. For a description of Speedemissions’ critical accounting policies see the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company uses a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

 

   

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Company has no Level 1 assets or liabilities.

 

   

Level 2 – Observable inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. The Company has no Level 2 assets or liabilities.

 

7


Table of Contents

 

   

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs. The Company had no Level 3 assets or liabilities at September 30, 2010 or December 31, 2009. However, goodwill is evaluated at least annually for impairment based on Level 3 inputs. For a further discussion of how the Company measures the value of the reporting units and goodwill, see Note 5 Goodwill in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value because of the short-term nature of these accounts. Fair value of the note receivable, equipment financing agreements and capital lease obligations approximate carrying value based upon current borrowing rates.

Note 3: Note Receivable

During the three months ended September 30, 2010, the Company settled a lawsuit originally filed in 2006 against a former manager. The Company alleged the manager, while employed by the Company, breached his fiduciary duty by purchasing property in Texas where one of the Company’s testing facilities he managed was located.

Under the provisions of the settlement agreement, the Company will receive the sum of $125,000 payable in monthly installments of $1,000 per month for seventy-two months. The balance of $53,000 will be due and payable to the Company on June 1, 2016. The note receivable is collateralized by a second lien on property owned by the former manager. The note receivable and gain from the settlement was computed and recorded at its present value using an interest rate equal to prime rate plus 0.5%, which was 3.75%.

The Company recognized a gain from the settlement of the lawsuit in the amount of $106,881 in the three month period ended September 30, 2010.

Note 4: Property and Equipment

Note 7: Net Income (loss) Per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) represents net income (loss) divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during a reported period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock, including stock options, warrants, and contingently issuable shares such as the Company’s Series A and Series B preferred stock (commonly and hereinafter referred to as “Common Stock Equivalents”), were exercised or converted into common stock.

The following table sets forth the computation for basic and diluted net income (loss) per share for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively:

(1) Because their effects are anti-dilutive, Common Stock Equivalents of 12,165,808 issuable under stock option plans and stock warrants whose grant price is greater than the average market price of common shares outstanding at the end of the relevant period have been excluded from the computation of weighted average common shares (diluted) for the three months ended September 30, 2010. These Common Stock Equivalents could be dilutive in future periods.

 

(2) As a result of the Company’s net loss in the nine months ended September 30, 2010, aggregate Common Stock Equivalents of 12,165,808 issuable under stock option plans and stock warrants that were potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive and have been excluded from the computation of weighted average common shares (diluted) for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. These Common Stock Equivalents could be dilutive in future periods.

 

(3) Because their effects are anti-dilutive, Common Stock Equivalents of 21,086,489 issuable under stock option plans and stock warrants whose grant price is greater than the average market price of common shares outstanding at the end of the relevant period have been excluded from the computation of weighted average common shares (diluted) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009. These Common Stock Equivalents could be dilutive in future periods.

 

(4) As a result of the Company’s net loss in the nine months ended September 30, 2010, aggregate Common Stock Equivalents of 4,277,498 issuable under Series A convertible, redeemable preferred stock that were potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive and have been excluded from the computation of weighted average common shares (diluted) for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. These Common Stock Equivalents could be dilutive in future periods. The Company reported net income in the three months ended September 30, 2010 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and as a result, the 4,277,498 Common Stock Equivalents were dilutive in the three months ended September 30, 2010 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009.

 

(5) Series B convertible preferred stock held by Barron Partners, LP (“Barron”) do not have voting rights and are subject to a maximum ownership percentage by Barron at any time of 4.9% of the Company’s outstanding common stock.

Note 8: Preferred and Common Stock

Preferred Stock

There were 5,133 shares of Series A convertible redeemable preferred stock (“Preferred A Stock”) issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. For financial statement purposes, the Preferred A Stock has been presented outside of stockholders’ equity on the Company’s balance sheets as a result of certain conditions that are outside the control of the Company that could trigger redemption of the securities.

There were 1,296,982 and 2,279,981 shares of Series B convertible preferred stock (“Preferred B Stock”) issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, all of which were held by Barron. Barron converted 983,000 shares of Preferred B Stock into 7,431,480 common shares during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Barron did not convert any Preferred B Stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Common Stock

The Company issued a total of 7,431,480 common shares to Barron during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The issuances to Barron resulted from Barron’s conversion of a total of 983,000 shares of Preferred B Stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

On June 14, 2010, the Compensation Committee of the Company approved common stock awards of 100,000 common shares to each of the Company’s directors. The common stock awards vested immediately. The Company issued a total of 500,000 shares of the common stock to the Company’s directors during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Note 9: Share-Based Compensation

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes valuation model, and determines the fair value of restricted stock units based on the number of shares granted and the quoted price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Such value is recognized as expense over the requisite service period, net of estimated forfeitures, using the straight-line attribution method. The estimate of awards that will ultimately vest requires significant judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from the Company’s current estimates, such amounts will be recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period estimates are revised. The Company considers many factors when estimating expected forfeitures, including types of awards, employee class and historical employee attrition rates. Actual results, and future changes in estimates, may differ substantially from the Company’s current estimates.

Share-based compensation expense was $186 and $11,837 during the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively and $25,201 and $35,511 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Share-based compensation is included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Stock Incentive Plans

The Company has granted options to employees and directors to purchase the Company’s common stock under various stock incentive plans. Under the plans, employees and non-employee directors are eligible to receive awards of various forms of equity-based incentive compensation, including stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance awards, among others. The plans are administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, which determines the terms of the awards granted. Stock options are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, have a term of ten years or less, and generally vest over three years from the date of grant.

The following table sets forth the options granted under the Company’s stock option plans during the nine month period ended September 30, 2010:

The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and exercisable at September 30, 2010 was $0. Intrinsic value is the amount by which the fair value of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price of the options.

The Company estimates the fair value for stock options at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires management to make certain assumptions. Expected volatility is based on the comparable company data. The Company bases the risk-free interest rate on U.S. Treasury note rates. The expected term is based on the vesting period and an expected exercise term. The Company does not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future and therefore uses an expected dividend yield of 0%. The Company did not grant stock options in the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

As of September 30, 2010, there was $75 of unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to non-vested stock options. This amount is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of two months. There were 1,109,334 and 1,109,333 options that vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

There were 5,760,808 and 5,778,808 options issued and outstanding under the Company’s SKTF, Inc. 2001 Stock Option Plan, the 2005 Omnibus Stock Grant and Option Plan, Speedemissions’ Inc. 2006 Stock Grant and Option Plan and 2008 Stock Grant and Option Plan as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. There were no options granted under these plans during the nine month period ended September 30, 2010. There were no options exercised during the nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.

Note 10: Income Taxes

No provision for income taxes has been reflected for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 as the Company has sufficient net operating loss carry forwards to offset taxable income.

Note 11: Contingencies

The Company may from time to time be involved in various proceedings and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. While any proceeding or litigation has an element of uncertainty, the Company believes that the outcome of any lawsuit or claim that may be pending or threatened, or all of them combined, will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company filed a Demand for Arbitration claim for $2,900,000 plus legal fees against the former owners of Mr. Sticker, Inc. (“Mr. Sticker”), David E. Smith, Barbara Smith and Grant Smith (the “Smiths”). The Company purchased Mr. Sticker from the Smiths on June 30, 2005 for $3,100,000. The Company asserts that the Smith’s interfered with the continuation of the acquired business and the renewal of certain leases held by the Smiths or by controlled entities of the Smiths related to the acquisition of Mr. Sticker by the Company. The Company further asserts breach of contract, fraud and fraudulent inducement and tortuous interference by the Smiths.

Note 12: Subsequent Event

On November 11, 2010, the Company entered into a $55,000 Bridge Note Agreement (“Note”) with an affiliate, GCA Strategic Investment Fund, Limited (“GCA”). The funds received from the Note will be used for general working capital purposes. The Note bears 0% interest and is due in full on November 11, 2012. The Note is not convertible into the Company’s stock and is subject to mandatory prepayment upon a change of control. In connection with the issuance of the Note, the Company issued GCA 4,000,000 warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock at $0.50 per share. The warrants expire on November 11, 2015.

ITEM 2 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Disclaimer Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains not only statements that are historical facts, but also statements that are forward-looking. Forward-looking statements are statements we make based on our management’s expectations, estimates, projections and assumptions and are, by their very nature, uncertain and risky. These risks and uncertainties include international, national and local general economic and market conditions; demographic changes; our ability to sustain, manage, or forecast growth; our ability to successfully make and integrate acquisitions; emission certificate cost; new product development and introduction; existing government regulations and changes in, or the failure to comply with, government regulations; adverse publicity; competition; the loss of significant customers or suppliers; fluctuations and difficulty in forecasting operating results; changes in business strategy or development plans; business disruptions; the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; the ability to protect technology; and other risks that might be detailed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The above examples are not exhaustive and new risks emerge from time to time. For a further discussion of risk factors relating to our business, see Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Although the forward-looking statements in this quarterly report reflect the good faith judgment of our management, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known by them. Consequently, and because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, the actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in the forward-looking statements. You are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report and in our other reports as we attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations and prospects.

We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Overview

Speedemissions performs vehicle emissions testing and safety inspections in certain cities in which vehicle emissions testing is mandated by the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”). The federal government and a number of state and local governments in the United States (and in certain foreign countries) mandate vehicle emissions testing as a method of improving air quality. As of September 30, 2010, the Company operated 40 vehicle emissions testing and safety inspection stations under the trade names of Speedemissions (Atlanta, Georgia and St. Louis, Missouri); Mr. Sticker (Houston, Texas); and Just Emissions (Salt Lake City, Utah). The Company also operates four mobile testing units in the Atlanta, Georgia area. The Company manages its operations based on these four regions and has one reportable segment.

We use computerized emissions testing and safety inspections equipment that test vehicles for compliance with vehicle emissions and safety standards. Our revenues are generated from the test or inspection fee charged to the registered owner of the vehicle. We do not provide automotive repair services.

On June 22, 2010, the Company announced the launch of its first iPhone application, Carbonga. Carbonga is an iPhone application that diagnoses an automobile’s computer systems using the on board diagnostic port on vehicles that are 1996 or newer. Carbonga can check over 2,000 vehicle fault codes.

Revenue. Revenue decreased $285,534 or (11.0%) to $2,313,816 in the three month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to $2,599,350 in the three month period ended September 30, 2009. The decrease in revenue over the comparable period was primarily due to the closure of two stores in Texas which were operated at locations owned by an entity controlled by Mr. Grant Smith, one of the former owners of Mr. Sticker (see Note 11). We relocated and reopened one of the closed stores within a quarter mile of the original store. Also contributing to the decrease in revenue was the decrease in same store sales of $116,178 or (4.9%). The decrease in same store sales is mainly attributable to increased competition and discounting at our Georgia and Utah locations, offset by increases in same store sales at our Texas and Missouri locations.

Cost of emission certificates. Cost of emission certificates decreased $61,443 or (11.0%) in the three month period ended September 30, 2010 and was $498,599 or 21.5% of revenues, compared to $560,042 or 21.5% of revenues in the three month period ended September 30, 2009. The decrease in cost of emission certificates over the comparable period was primarily due to the closure of the two stores in Texas. We relocated and reopened one of the closed stores within a quarter mile of the original store. The decrease in same store sales resulted in lower cost of emission certificates.

Store operating expenses. Store operating expenses decreased $108,484 or (6.8%) in the three month period ended September 30, 2010 and was $1,487,037 or 64.3% of revenues, compared to $1,595,521 or 61.4% of revenues in the three month period ended September 30, 2009. The decrease was mainly attributable to the closure of the two stores in Texas, offset by the costs of relocating and reopening of one of the closed stores within a quarter mile of the original store. A decrease of $67,586 in same store operating expenses also contributed to the decrease in store operating expenses.

General and administrative expenses. Our general and administrative expenses increased $1,421, or 0.4% to $380,301 in the three month period ended September 30, 2010 from $378,880 in the three month period ended September 30, 2009. The increase in general and administrative expenses during the three month period September 30, 2010 was mainly due to Carbonga related expenses that were not incurred in the prior year period and higher personnel costs, offset by a reduction in other general and administrative expenses. Carbonga is our iPhone application developed in 2010 and the expenses include legal, advertising and other professional fees.

(Gain) Loss from disposal of non-strategic assets. We did not recognize a gain or loss from the disposal of non-strategic assets in the three month period ended September 30, 2010. We recognized a gain on the disposal of non-strategic assets of $5,550 in the three month period ended September 30, 2009.

Gain from settlement of lawsuit. We recognized a gain of $106,881 in the three month period ended September 30, 2010. The gain resulted from the settlement of a lawsuit against a former employee (See Note 3).

Operating income (loss). Our operating income decreased by $15,647 in the three month period ended September 30, 2010 and was $54,760 compared to operating income of $70,407 in the three month period ended September 30, 2009 mainly due to the decrease in revenue, offset by the decrease in the cost of emission certificates and store operating expenses.

Interest income, interest expense, net income and basic and diluted net income per share. Our interest income, interest expense, net income and basic and diluted net income per share for the three month period ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the three month period ended September 30, 2009 is as follows:

The decrease in revenue over the comparable period was primarily due to the closure of two stores in Texas which were operated at locations owned by an entity controlled by Mr. Grant Smith, one of the former owners of Mr. Sticker (see Note 11). We relocated and reopened one of the closed stores within a quarter mile of the original store. Also contributing to the decrease in revenue was the decrease in same store sales of $279,899 or (3.2%). The decrease in same store sales is mainly attributable to increased competition and discounting at our Georgia and Utah locations, offset by increases in same store sales at our Texas and Missouri locations.

Cost of emission certificates. Cost of emission certificates decreased $65,945 or (3.9%) in the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 and was $1,607,340 or 22.1% of revenues, compared to $1,673,285 or 21.9% of revenues in the nine month period ended September 30, 2009. The decrease in cost of emission certificates over the comparable period was primarily due to the closure of the two stores in Texas. We relocated and reopened one of the closed stores within a quarter mile of the original store. The decrease in same store sales also contributed to lower cost of emission certificates.

Store operating expenses. Store operating expenses decreased $163,950 or (3.5%) in the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 and was $4,579,162 or 63.1% of revenues, compared to $4,743,112 or 61.9% of revenues in the nine month period ended September 30, 2009. The decrease was mainly attributable to the closure of the two stores in Texas, offset by the costs of relocating and reopening of one of the closed stores within a quarter mile of the original store. A decrease of $222,487 in same store operating expenses also contributed to the decrease in store operating expenses, offset by an increase in store operating expenses for stores open a full nine months in 2010 that we not open for the entire nine month period of 2009.

General and administrative expenses. Our general and administrative expenses increased $220,625 or 21.2% to $1,261,924 in the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 from $1,041,299 in the nine month period ended September 30, 2009. The increase in general and administrative expenses during the nine month period September 30, 2010 was primarily due to $113,707 in Carbonga related expenses, an increase in professional fees of $108,412, which is mainly related to the settlement of a lawsuit (see Note 2) and Demand for Arbitration (see Note 11) and an increase in personnel related costs of $66,512 offset by a reduction in other general and administrative expenses. Carbonga is our iPhone application developed in 2010 and the expenses include legal, advertising and other professional fees.

Loss from disposal of non-strategic assets. We recognized a loss of $9,713 on the disposal of non-strategic assets in the nine month period ended September 30, 2010. We recognized a $30,330 gain from the disposal of non-strategic assets in the nine month period ended September 30, 2009.

Gain from settlement of lawsuit. We recognized a gain of $106,881 in the nine month period ended September 30, 2010. The gain resulted from the settlement of a lawsuit against a former employee (See Note 3).

Operating income (loss). Our operating income (loss) decreased by $318,829 in the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 and was ($88,595) compared to an operating income of $230,234 in the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 due to the increases in general and administrative expenses and decreases in revenue, cost of emission certificates and store operating expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Introduction

Our net cash position decreased by $125,817 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 primarily from cash used in operations and our total liabilities decreased by $56,449. Our current liabilities increased mainly due to a timing difference from property tax accruals and the payment of our January 1, 2010 payroll on December 31, 2009 instead of January 1, 2010 due to the holiday weekend. We hope to achieve an increase in our net operating cash flow on a long-term basis, but we may not achieve positive operating cash flows on a consistent basis during 2010.

Cash Requirements

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon its consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. In consultation with our Board of Directors, the Company has identified accounting policies related to valuation of our equity instruments, valuation of goodwill, created as the result of business acquisitions, as key to an understanding of our financial statements. These are important accounting policies that require management’s most difficult, subjective judgments.
