PROSPECTUS
Up to 40,652,438 shares of common stock
SPEEDEMISSIONS, INC.
Speedemissions, Inc. (Speedemissions or the Company) is registering 2,127,150 shares of common stock for sale by existing shareholders, and 38,525,288 shares of common stock for sale by existing warrant and preferred stock holders upon the exercise of warrants or conversion of preferred shares. This offering will terminate when all 40,652,438 shares are sold or on October 15, 2009, unless we terminate it earlier.
Our common stock is quoted on the over-the-counter electronic bulletin board under the symbol SPMI.
Investing in our common stock involves risks. Speedemissions currently has limited operations, limited income, and limited assets. You should not invest unless you can afford to lose your entire investment. See Risk Factors beginning on page 3.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
All of the common stock registered by this prospectus will be sold by the selling shareholders at the prevailing market prices at the time they are sold. Speedemissions is not selling any of the shares of common stock in this offering and therefore will not receive any proceeds from this offering. Speedemissions would, however, receive proceeds upon the exercise of warrants.
The date of this prospectus is December 19, 2007
This summary highlights specific information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. Because this is a summary, it may not contain all the information that is important to you. Therefore, you should read carefully the more detailed information set forth in this prospectus and our financial statements before making an investment decision regarding our common stock. On November 18, 2005, our shareholders approved 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. All share amounts in this prospectus have been adjusted to reflect this reverse stock split.
Our Business
Speedemissions, Inc. performs vehicle emissions testing and safety inspections in certain cities in which vehicle emissions testing is mandated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). As of November 30, 2007, we operated 37 vehicle emissions testing and safety inspection stations under the trade names of Speedemissions (Atlanta, Georgia); Mr. Sticker (Dallas and Houston, Texas); and Just Emissions (Salt Lake City, Utah). We also operate four mobile testing units in the Atlanta, Georgia area.
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.
In the past three years, we have acquired some of our competitors in the Atlanta, Georgia, Houston, Texas and Salt Lake City areas. In November 2007, we began expanding our operations into Dallas, Texas and St. Louis, Missouri. Our plans for expansion into these new and existing markets will encompass opening a total of thirteen stations in Dallas, four stations in St. Louis and one station in Houston by March 31, 2008. We continually reassess our store rollout plans based on numerous factors including the overall environment of the emissions testing industry, our access to working capital and external financing and the availability of suitable locations. This growth may be curtailed if we do not have adequate working capital, access to financing, as a cost containment initiative, or if we are unable to obtain the standard emission and safety station licensing approval from the respective state regulatory agencies for each location.
We reported our most recent audited financial statements for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 on Form 10-KSB. We reported revenues of $9,480,097 and a net loss of $1,332,206. This net loss included a non-cash charge of $1,071,007 from goodwill and related asset impairment. Excluding the non-cash charge for goodwill and related asset impairment, our net loss was $261,199. We also reported current assets of $545,161, property and equipment less accumulated depreciation and amortization of $1,229,329, goodwill of $7,100,572 and other assets of $59,926 as of December 31, 2006.
In their report dated March 16, 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.

Corporate Structure and Principal Executive Offices
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.
Our principal offices are located at 1015 Tyrone Road, Suite 220, Tyrone, Georgia 30290, and our telephone number is (770) 306-7667. Our website address is www.speedemissions.com. Information contained on our website is not incorporated into, and does not constitute any part of, this prospectus.
The Offering
We are registering 2,127,150 shares for sale by existing shareholders, and 38,525,288 shares for sale by existing warrant and preferred stock holders upon the exercise of warrants or conversion of the preferred shares. The shares of our common stock to be sold by warrantholders are or will be acquired upon the exercise of certain common stock purchase warrants. All of the shares of common stock registered for sale pursuant to this prospectus will be sold by the selling shareholders at the prevailing market prices at the time they are sold.
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale by the selling shareholders of the common stock offered in this prospectus. We would, however, receive proceeds from any exercise of warrants held by the selling shareholders. Any proceeds we receive from the exercise of warrants would be used to finance acquisitions and may be used for working capital, if needed, as more fully described in the Use of Proceeds section. There are no acquisitions currently being contemplated by the Company.
We currently have 5,162,108 shares of common stock outstanding. We have outstanding warrants to purchase 15,487,788 shares of common stock and options to purchase 2,255,725 shares of common stock. In addition, we have currently outstanding (i) 5,133 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock which could be converted into 4,277,500 shares of common stock and (ii) 2,481,482 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock which could be converted into 18,760,000 shares of common stock. If all outstanding warrants and options are exercised and all outstanding preferred stock is converted into shares of common stock, we could have a total of 45,943,121 shares of common stock outstanding.

Our independent auditors have expressed doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
In their report dated March 16, 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. We generated profit of $66,377 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. As of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we had cash on hand of $946,576 and $320,231 respectively, working capital of $449,010 and a working capital deficit of $430,792, respectively, an accumulated deficit of $11,699,283 and $11,765,660 respectively, and a total stockholders equity of $8,433,033 and $7,845,187, respectively. 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 3,379,361 shares of our common stock. Upon exercise of all outstanding warrants at exercise prices between $0.30 and $0.90 per share and conversion of their Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, GCA Strategic Investment Fund Limited and its affiliates could own up to 10,056,859 shares of our common stock. Barron Partners LP could acquire up to 31,481,930 shares of our common stock upon the exercise of outstanding warrants at exercise prices between $0.30 and $0.90 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 could 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
3
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 independent 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 registration statement for the shares held by Barron without Barrons consent, 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 registration is not effective. For example, if we fail to maintain the effectiveness of the 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.
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 Limited 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 Limited, 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.
4
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 2,481,482 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 unless such restriction is waived or amended by Barron and the holders of a majority of the outstanding common stock who are not affiliates. In addition, Barron may acquire 12,587,431 shares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants at exercise prices between $0.30 and $0.90 per share. However, Barron is restricted from exercising any portion of the common stock warrants (except as described below) which would cause Barron to beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the outstanding shares of common stock unless such restriction is waived or amended by Barron and the holders of a majority of the outstanding common stock who are not affiliates. Barrons Common Stock Purchase Warrant AA-5 gives Barron the ability to revoke this ownership restriction upon 61 days prior notice from Barron to Speedemissions. If the restrictions relating to the warrants are waived, amended or revoked, as the case may be, Barron could control approximately 86% of outstanding shares of common stock based on number of outstanding shares as of September 30, 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, Dallas, Houston, Salt Lake City and St. Louis 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; |
5
| 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 vehicle 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. Parlontieris 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 material 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 65% of our outstanding common shares and control approximately 82% 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.
6
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 September 30, 2007, there were 5,162,108 shares of common stock outstanding. If all warrants and options outstanding as of September 30, 2007 are exercised and all preferred stock are converted to common stock, there will be 45,943,121 shares of common stock outstanding. As a result, a shareholders proportionate interest in us will be substantially diluted.
Our stock price may fluctuate which could result in substantial losses for investors.
The market price of 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 Electronic 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-dealers presumed control over the market, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customers 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 purchasers 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
Our business is affected by seasonality, 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.

SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
We have made forward-looking statements in this prospectus, including in the sections entitled Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Business, that are based on our managements beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. Forward-looking statements include the information concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations, business strategies, financing plans, competitive position, industry environment, potential growth opportunities, the effects of future regulation and the effects of competition. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts and can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as the words believe, expect, anticipate, intend, plan, and estimate, as well as similar expressions. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, including the risks outlined under Risk Factors and elsewhere in this prospectus.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, events, levels of activity, performance or achievement. We are not under any duty to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this prospectus to conform these statements to actual results, unless required by law.
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale by the selling shareholders of the common stock offered in this prospectus. We would, however, receive proceeds of the sale of common stock pursuant to an exercise of warrants held by warrant holders. If all of our warrantholders exercise their warrants, the aggregate amount of the proceeds we would receive is $9,840,143. Any proceeds we may receive from the exercise of the outstanding warrants would be used to open new stores or finance acquisitions of emissions testing stations. We may also use a portion of any proceeds we receive for working capital, if necessary.
Our allocation of proceeds represents our best estimate based upon the expected exercise of warrants and the requirements of our proposed business and marketing plan. If any of these factors change, we may reallocate some of the net proceeds.
8
The selling shareholder offering the majority of the shares pursuant to this prospectus is Barron Partners LP (Barron). Barron currently owns 2,481,482 shares of our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, which represents 100% of our issued and outstanding shares of our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. On February 23, 2006, Barron converted 18,518 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock into 140,000 shares of common stock. Barron owned 134,500 shares of common stock as of September 30, 2007. Additionally, Barron holds warrants to purchase 12,587,431 shares of our common stock at exercise prices between $0.30 and $0.90 per share. Pursuant to the terms of the warrants and the Certificate of Designation governing the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, Barron is restricted from converting the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock or the warrants if such conversion would result in Barron beneficially owing more than 4.9% of our outstanding common stock. However, the terms of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and the warrants (except for Barrons Common Stock Purchase Warrant AA-5, which allows Barron to revoke the restriction upon sixty-one (61) days notice) provide that this 4.9% ownership restriction may be waived or amended with the consent of Barron and the holders of a majority of the outstanding common stock who are not affiliates.

This prospectus covers up to 40,652,438 shares of our common stock, including (i) 2,127,150 shares of common stock outstanding, (ii) 4,277,500 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, (iii) 18,760,000 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, and (iv) 15,487,788 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants outstanding. We will not receive any of the proceeds of the sale of the common stock offered by this prospectus. However, we would receive the proceeds from any exercise of the warrants.
The common stock may be sold from time to time to purchasers either (i) directly by the selling shareholders; or (ii) through broker-dealers or agents who may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions, or commissions from the selling shareholders or the purchasers of the common stock. The selling shareholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to timing, manner, and size of each sale.
The selling shareholders and any broker-dealers or agents who participate in the distribution of the common stock may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. As a result, any profits on the sale of the common stock by the selling shareholders and any discounts, commissions, or concessions received by any such broker-dealers or agents may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. If any of the selling shareholders were deemed to be an underwriter, the selling shareholder may be subject to statutory liabilities including, but not limited to, those under Sections 11, 12, and 17 of the Securities Act and Rule 10b-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act.
Barron is under no obligation to convert its Series B Convertible Preferred Stock or common stock purchase warrants into shares of our common stock, except for Barrons Common Stock Purchase Warrant AA-5 which requires Barron, upon notice from Speedmissions, to exercise such warrants if the closing price of Speedmissions common stock exceeds $2.40 for fifteen consecutive trading days (subject to the ownership restrictions set forth in such warrant).
If the underlying common stock is sold through broker-dealers or agents, the selling shareholder will be responsible for broker-dealers and agents commissions. Shares of the common stock may be sold at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated or fixed prices, in each case as determined by the selling shareholders or by agreement between the selling shareholders and underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents, or purchasers.
These sales may be effected through transactions (i) on the over-the-counter market or on any other market in which the price of our shares of common stock are quoted; or (ii) in transactions other than in the over-the-counter market or in any other market on which the price of our shares of common stock are quoted. These transactions may include block transactions or crosses. Crosses are transactions in which the same broker acts as an agent on both sides of the transaction.
To our knowledge, there are currently no plans, arrangements, or understandings between the selling shareholders and any underwriter, broker-dealer, or agent regarding the sale of the shares of common stock by the selling shareholders. The selling shareholders may decide not to sell all or a portion of the shares of common stock offered by this prospectus. Upon being notified in writing by a selling shareholder that any material arrangement, plan, or understanding has been entered into with a broker-dealer, underwriter, or agent for the sale of common stock, we will file, if required, a supplement to this prospectus, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act disclosing (i) the name of such selling shareholder, (ii) the number of shares involved, (iii) the price at which such shares of common stock were sold, (iv) the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such underwriter, broker-dealer, or agent, where applicable, (v) that such underwriter, broker-dealer, or agent did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and (vi) other facts material to the transaction.

Under the securities laws of certain states, the shares of common stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. We advise that the selling shareholders consult their own legal counsel to ensure that any underwriters, brokers, dealers, or agents effecting transactions on behalf of the selling shareholders are registered to sell securities in all fifty states. In addition, in certain states the shares of common stock may not be sold by a selling shareholder unless the sale of the shares has been registered or qualified in such state or we have taken steps to comply with an applicable exemption from registration or qualification. Even though we have registered the sale of the shares covered by this prospectus by the selling shareholders under the federal securities laws, we have not registered, or taken any action to qualify for an exemption from registration for, the sale by the selling securityholders under any state securities laws. Selling securityholders should consult their own legal counsel to ensure compliance with state securities laws. The selling shareholders and any brokers, dealers, or agents that participate in the distribution of common stock may be considered underwriters, and any profit on the sale of common stock by them and any discounts, concessions, or commissions received by those underwriters, brokers, dealers, or agents may be considered underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act of 1933.
The selling shareholder and any other persons participating in the distribution of the common stock will be subject to the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. The Exchange Act rules include, without limitation, Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the common stock by the selling shareholder and any such other person. In addition, Regulation M of the Exchange Act may restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the common stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the common stock being distributed for a period of up to five business days prior to the commencement of such distribution. This may affect the marketability of the common stock and the ability to engage in market-making activities with respect to the common stock.
We are not a party to or otherwise involved in any legal proceedings. In the ordinary course of business, we may be from time to time involved in various pending or threatened legal actions. The litigation process is inherently uncertain and it is possible that the resolution of such matters might have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition and/or results of operations.

Board Meetings and Committees
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, the Board of Directors held six meetings. Each of our directors attended all of the meetings of the board of directors and the committees of the board on which he served during 2006. 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, Speedemissions did not have a standing nominating committee. The NASDAQ rules do not require the Company to have a nominating committee since the Company was a controlled company in that more than 50% of the voting common stock of the Company was held by GCA Strategic Investment Fund Limited. The Board of Directors 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 Speedemissions is controlled by one large shareholder. Nominees for election as a director are determined by the entire Board of Directors. The Board of Directors will make all decisions regarding director nominees based upon the best interest of the Company and its shareholders.
Compensation Committee
Our Compensation Committee consists of three directors. In 2006, Dr. Ernest Childs served as chairman of the Compensation Committee and Messrs. Parlontieri and Thompson also served on the Compensation Committee. The primary purposes of the Compensation Committee are 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.
14
Audit Committee
In 2006, we had two members on the Audit Committee: Michael E. Guirlinger, who served as chairman, and Bradley Thompson. The primary purposes of our Audit Committee are to represent and assist the Board of Directors in its responsibilities relating to the accounting, reporting and financial practices of Speedemissions and its subsidiaries, including the integrity of our financial statements and the outside auditors qualifications and independence. The Audit Committee also prepared the report, included elsewhere in this proxy statement, required by the rules of the SEC to be included in our annual proxy statements. The Audit Committee met four times during 2006.
Our Board of Directors has determined that Bradley Thompson, based upon his education and extensive experience in accounting, is an audit committee financial expert within the meaning of the rules of the SEC. No member of the Audit Committee is presently serving on the audit committee of another company.

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. As of September 30, 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. We expect to open two additional testing facilities in Houston, Texas, eight in Dallas, Texas and four in St. Louis, Missouri by March 31, 2008.
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.
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 BackgroundGovernment and Regulatory Overview
The United States Environmental Protection Agency 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
21
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 areas 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, 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.
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. Californias 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, CARB has required the use of new, more sophisticated and more accurate emissions testing and analysis equipment, which must be certified by CARB. Californias 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.
22
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 vehicles 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, todays 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 Georgias 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.
Georgias 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.
Georgias 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. As of October 1, 2007, the fee of $6.95 that must be paid by the station operator to the state for every test was reduced to $4.02. The balance of the current charge, or $20.98 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.
23
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 states 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 $39.75 for both the emissions test and the safety inspection, with $27.25 allocated for an ASM or an OSD emissions test and $12.75 allocated for the safety inspection. The operator is charged $8.25 for the ASM sticker, and $14.25 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 others to conduct emissions testing and safety inspections. The Department of Health for each county manages emission testing and the Utah Highway Patrol manages the 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 emissions 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.
24
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
25
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.
Employees
We currently employ 107 individuals. Of these 107 employees, eight are employed in administrative positions at our headquarters, including our Chief Executive Officer, Richard A. Parlontieri, while 99 are employed on-site at our testing locations. 102 of our employees are full-time, while 5 are employed on a part-time basis.
Settlement Agreement with Certain Shareholders
On June 30, 2005, we entered into a Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the Barron Agreement) with Barron Partners LP (Barron) pursuant to which Barron purchased $6,420,000 of our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, along with warrants to purchase 2,500,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $2.40 per share for a period of five years, and warrants to purchase 1,890,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $4.80 per share for a period of five years. On August 4, 2005, we entered into an Amendment to Stock Purchase Agreement which modified the Barron Agreement to, among other things, increase the warrants to 2,621,496 shares at $2.40 per share and 1,965,935 shares at $4.80 per share, respectively.
On August 23, 2005, GCA Strategic Investment Fund Limited (GCA), the holder of all 2,500 shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock then issued and outstanding, notified us that as a result of the Barron Agreement and pursuant to Section 9 of the Certificate of Designation of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the conversion ratio of our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock was automatically incorporated into the rights of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (referred to herein as the Dispute). We resolved this Dispute by entering into a Settlement Agreement with GCA, Barron, and Global Capital Funding Group, LP (GCFG, and collectively with GCA and Barron referred to herein as the Investors) with all parties agreeing to the following terms:
| GCFG converted all amounts due and owing under the Speedemissions, Inc. Secured Promissory Note dated December 30, 2004, in the principal amount of $1,285,000 plus accrued interest of $124,288 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; |
| GCA consented to the Amended Certificate of Designation of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, including a new conversion price of $1.20 per share of common stock and no dividend rights, |
26
and converted all amounts due and owing, including accrued interest of $160,705, under the $350,000 principal amount promissory note dated January 26, 2005, the $300,000 principal amount promissory note dated August 2, 2001, and the $110,000 principal amount promissory note dated August 7, 2004 and $302,847 in cumulative dividends due and owing under the existing 2,500 shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into (i) 1,224 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, (ii) a warrant to purchase 1,600,000 shares of our common stock with an exercise price of $1.20 per share of common stock for a period of five years, and (iii) an amended warrant agreement dated January 26, 2005 to purchase 250,000 shares of common stock reducing the exercise price from $2.40 to $1.20 per share; |
| Barron agreed to the issuance of the GCA Stock, the GCFG Stock, and the GCFG Warrant, and to the Amended Certificate of Designation in exchange for a warrant to purchase 4,000,000 shares of our common stock with an exercise price of $1.20 per share of common stock for a period of five years; and |
| Speedemissions, GCFG, GCA, and Barron agreed to release each other of all claims, agreements, contracts, covenants, representations, obligations, losses, liabilities, demands and causes of action which it may now or hereafter have or claim to have against each other, as a result of the Dispute. |
In connection with the Settlement Agreement, we also amended certain Common Stock Purchase Warrants held by the Investors effective October 14, 2005:
| We executed an Amendment No. 1 to the First Restated Common Stock Purchase Warrant A to purchase 2,621,496 shares of common stock held by Barron reducing the exercise price from $2.40 per share to $1.20 per share. |
| We executed an Amendment No. 1 to the Common Stock Purchase Warrant B to purchase 1,965,935 shares of common stock held by Barron reducing the exercise price from $4.80 per share to $1.20 per share. |
| We executed an Amendment No. 1 to the Warrant to purchase 250,000 shares of common stock held by GCA reducing the exercise price from $1.25 per share to $1.20 per share. |
| We executed an Amendment No. 1 to the Warrant to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock held by GCA reducing the exercise price from $3.57 per share to $1.20 per share. |
As part of the Settlement Agreement, we entered into an Exchange Agreement with GCFG dated effective as of October 14, 2005 exchanging the GCFG Stock and the GCFG Warrant for the GCFG Note.
In conjunction with the GCFG Exchange Agreement, we granted to GCFG registration rights with respect to the sale of the shares of common stock underlying the warrants and preferred stock issued to GCFG.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Disclaimer Regarding Forward Looking Statements
Our Managements Discussion and Analysis contains not only statements that are historical facts, but also statements that are forward-looking (within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Forward-looking statements are, by their very nature, uncertain and risky. These risks and uncertainties include international, national and local general economic and market conditions; demographic changes; our ability to sustain, manage, or forecast growth; our ability to successfully make and integrate acquisitions; raw material costs and availability; 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.
Although the forward-looking statements in this registration statement 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.
Overview
As of December 31, 2006 and September 30, 2007, we operated 34 and 35 vehicle emissions testing stations, respectively, and four mobile units in three separate markets, greater Atlanta, Georgia, Houston, Texas and greater Salt Lake City, Utah. We had three new stores under construction in the Houston market. Two of these three stores have opened and we expect the third to open in the first quarter of 2008. We do not provide automotive repair services at our centers because we believe that it inhibits our ability to provide timely customer service and creates a perception that our test results might be compromised.
In the past three years, we have acquired some of our competitors in the Atlanta, Georgia; Houston, Texas and Salt Lake City, Utah areas. In November 2007, we began expanding our operations into Dallas, Texas and St. Louis, Missouri. Our plans for expansion into these new and existing markets will encompass opening a total of thirteen stations in Dallas and four stations in St. Louis and one station in Houston by March 31, 2008. We continually reassess our store rollout plans based on numerous factors including the overall environment of the emissions testing industry, our access to working capital and external financing and the availability of suitable locations. This growth may be curtailed if we do not have adequate working capital, access to financing, as a cost containment initiative, or if we are unable to obtain the standard emission and safety station licensing approval from the respective state regulatory agencies for each location.
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. 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.
We charge a fee to perform each test, and a portion of that fee is passed on to the state governing agency. In Georgia, the maximum fee that we can charge is $25.00, and a fee of $4.02 is paid to the State of Georgia. In Texas, the maximum fee that we can charge is $39.75, for both an emissions test and a safety inspection, and a fee varying between approximately $5.50 and $14.25 per certificate, depending on the type of test is paid to the
28
State of Texas. In Utah, there is not a maximum fee that we can charge in Salt Lake County. We charge $38.00 for an emissions test and $17.00 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 $25.00 and $17.00 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.
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 period ending December 31, 2006 were prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. In this report, 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 independent accountants 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 secure debt and 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 twelve month period ended December 31, 2006 as compared to the comparable period ended December 31, 2005 were as follows:

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
29
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 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 $237,501 in stock compensation expenses and an increase in rent expense of $22,821 as a result of moving our corporate office in 2006.
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 the December 31, 2006 Financial Statements).
(Gain)/loss from disposal of non-strategic assets, 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:

Our interest expense decreased $215,893, or 95% to $11,122 compared to $227,015 for 2005. The decrease was primarily due to the conversion of debt to equity and repayments on debt. 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.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007 and 2006
Our revenue, cost of emission certificates, store operating expenses, general and administrative expenses and income from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2006 were as follows:

80,585 | 206,891 | (61.0 | %) | |||
Revenue. Revenue increased $119,626 or 1.6% to $7,406,415 in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $7,286,789 in the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The increase in revenue over the comparable period was primarily due to an increase in same store sales of $227,310 or 3.2%, an increase of $85,385 from three new stores that were not open for a full nine months in the period ended September 30, 2006, offset by the loss of $193,069 in revenue from the closure of a single store in Houston where the landlord sold the property upon the expiration of our lease in April 2006 and the closure of our Lawrenceville, Georgia store where Gwinnett County acquired the property for a road widening project.
Cost of emission certificates. Cost of emission certificates decreased $11,189 or (0.6%) in the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 and was $1,831,587 or 24.7% of revenues, compared to $1,842,776 or 25.3% of revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease on April 1, 2006 in the cost of emission certificates in Salt Lake County Utah from $3.60 to $1.80 per certificate and a reduction in certificate costs of $60,458 resulting from the closure of the two stores discussed above. The decrease was offset by an increase in same store emissions tests performed which resulted in higher cost of emission certificates and an increase of $28,611 for tests performed at new stores that have opened since August 2006.
Store operating expenses. Store operating expenses increased $129,058, or 3.1% in the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 and was $4,284,209 or 57.8% of revenues, compared to $4,155,151 or 57.0% of revenues in the nine month period ended September 30, 2006. The increase was primarily due to $254,054 in new store operating expenses. Also contributing to the increase were higher personnel costs from the implementation of store employee incentives and additional personnel required to provide our customers with improved service and customer satisfaction. The increase was offset by a decrease in same store operating expenses of $39,567 and a decrease of $83,729 resulting from the closure of the two stores discussed above.
General and administrative expenses. Our general and administrative expenses increased $128,063, or 11.8% to $1,210,034 in the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 from $1,081,971 in the nine month period ended September 30, 2006. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to an increase in Sarbanes Oxley compliance costs, consulting, legal and accounting fees and stock option compensation expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Introduction
We achieved a milestone in 2006 by generating positive operating cash flows for the twelve months 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 twelve months ended December 31, 2005, were funded from the 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 nine months ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, our net cash provided by operating activities was $352,834 and $415,965. Positive operating cash flows during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 were primarily created by net income of $66,377, a decrease in other current assets of $40,417, depreciation and amortization of $203,928, losses recognized from the sale of non-strategic assets of 11,735 and share based compensation expenses of $98,149, partially offset by a decrease of $45,835 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and an increase in other assets of $21,937. Positive operating cash flows during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 were primarily created by a net income from operations of $208,726, from non-cash stock related expenses of $133,578 plus depreciation and amortization of $291,439, partially offset by a decrease of $168,345 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and an increase in other current assets of $27,915 and an increase in other assets of $11,525.
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 loss from operations of $1,332,206 a net decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $10,234, partially 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 and depreciation and amortization of $394,463.
Negative operating cash flows during 2005 were primarily created by a loss from operations of $3,550,715, partially offset by: a net increase of $251,626 in accrued interest expense, 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 states contract period with the administrator, which is usually five to seven years.
Sources and Uses of Cash
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities was $72,603 and ($238,830) for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 were due to proceeds of $211,094 received from the sale of equipment and our Lawrenceville, Georgia location to Gwinnett County for a road widening project and capital expenditures related to the building of new stores and the purchase of equipment in the amount of $138,491. The cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 included capital expenditures related to the building of new stores and other property and equipment in the amount of $153,684 and payment of $100,000 previously withheld for contingent liabilities on the acquisition price of Just, Inc., offset by the receipt of $14,854 related to the sale of emissions testing equipment. Management continuously reviews industry and economic conditions to identify opportunities to pursue acquisitions of competitors and we expect to invest in new stores in new and existing markets.
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 (used in) financing activities was $200,908 and ($16,419) for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we received proceeds from the sale of common stock of $319,072, repaid $111,747 in debt and made payments of $6,417 on capital leases. Net cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 resulted primarily from the payment of capital leases.
33
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 Companys 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 acquire and open 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 consistently 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.
On October 14, 2005, as part of the Settlement Agreement, GCFC converted all amounts due and owing under the Speedemissions, Inc. 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 October 7, 2005, we filed an amendment to the 2005 Registration Statement on Form SB-2/A. We filed two post-effective amendments to the 2005 Registration Statement: one on December 5, 2005 and one on May 1, 2006. Upon the filing of this registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, we will withdraw the 2005 Registration Statement.

Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of the Companys financial condition and results of operations are based upon its consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The 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 managements most difficult, subjective judgments.

MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS
Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol SPMI. Prior to January 20, 2006, our common stock was traded on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol SPEM. Although our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, there has been limited trading, at widely varying prices, and trading to date has not created an active market for our common stock. Thus, the prices at which trades occurred may not be representative of the actual value of our common stock. On a number of days during this period, there were no trades at all in our common stock.
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the high and low bids of our common stock (without giving effect to the 1-for-10 reverse stock split on January 20, 2006). The following quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail markup, mark-down or commission, and may not represent actual transactions.

The Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990 requires additional disclosure relating to the market for penny stocks in connection with trades in any stock defined as a penny stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations that generally define a penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to a few exceptions which we do not meet. Unless an exception is available, the regulations require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated therewith.

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.

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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Speedemissions, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Speedemissions, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys 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 Companys 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.
In our opinion, the 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 consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Companys 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. Managements plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

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 Companys common stock valued at $43,000. From the date of acquisition forward, Mr. Stickers 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 Companys 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, JIs 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 Companys ticker symbol changed from SPEM to SPMI on the OTC Bulletin Board.
F-6
Consolidation
The accompanying 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.
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 vehicles emissions while in neutral and enhanced testing systems that test a vehicles 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 customers 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.
F-7
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.
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 fair value of goodwill was determined using discounted cash flow techniques. 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.
F-8
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 Companys 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 17,690,437 shares and 17,510,437 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 employees 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 CompensationTransition 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 TaxesAn 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 Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The future success of the Company is contingent upon, among other things, the ability to: achieve and maintain satisfactory levels of profitable operations; obtain and maintain adequate levels of debt and/or equity financing; and provide sufficient cash flow from operations to meet current and future obligations. The Company is actively seeking new sources of financing to expand its revenue opportunities, however there is no guarantee that the Company will be successful in obtaining the financing required to fund its capital needs.
F-9
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 4: | Debt |
The Company has a note payable to V2R, Inc. (V2R), which is controlled by Bahram Yusefzadeh, a former director of the Company. The note bears interest at 10% per annum. The principal balance of the note was due on December 31, 2003, but was extended pursuant to an amendment dated December 30, 2003 to the earlier to occur of (i) the closing of a round of equity or debt financing in excess of $1,500,000, (ii) 90 days after the effectiveness of a registration statement, or (iii) in three equal installments beginning March 1, 2004, May 1, 2004, and July 1, 2004.

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 Companys common stock on August 31st of each year.

Note 11: | Risk and Uncertainties |
Regulatory Impact
The current and future demand for the Companys 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
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.
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.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2007
(Unaudited)
Note 1: | Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
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. As of November 5, 2007, we operated 36 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. Throughout this report, the terms we, us, our, Speedemissions, and Company refer to Speedemissions, Inc., including its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
Nature of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Speedemissions and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Mr. Sticker, Inc. and Just, Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and in accordance with the SECs instructions applicable to Form 10-QSB interim financial information. In the opinion of management, such consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of September 30, 2007 and for all periods presented. The results of operations presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year or for any future period.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements. Such interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys audited financial statements contained in our Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, as of September 30, 2007, the Company had cash on hand of $946,576, working capital of $449,010, and an accumulated deficit of $11,699,283. The Company had net income available to common shareholders of $101,542 and positive cash flows from operations of $352,834 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Companys ability to maintain sufficient cash flow from operations to meet current and future obligations and its ability to implement its business plan. There can be no assurance that management will be successful in implementing its plans. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
F-28
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.
The Companys 36 emissions testing stations operate under the trade names Speedemissions (Georgia), Mr. Sticker (Texas) and Just Inc. (Utah). At its emissions testing stations, the Company uses computerized emissions testing equipment and safety inspection equipment that test vehicles for compliance with emissions and safety standards. In the emissions testing and safety inspection industry, such stations are known as decentralized facilities. The Company utilizes basic testing systems that test a motor vehicles emissions while in neutral and enhanced testing systems that test a vehicles emissions under simulated driving conditions.
Use of Estimates in Financial Statements
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. Material estimates included in these financial statements relate to useful lives of certain assets and 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 emission certificates is shown separately in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
The Company normally requires that the customers payment be made with cash, check, or credit card; accordingly, the Company does not have significant levels of accounts receivable.
Under current Georgia, Texas, and Utah laws, if a vehicle fails an emissions test, it may be retested at no additional charge during a specified period after the initial test, as long as the subsequent test is performed at the same facility. The costs of such retests and the number of retests are not material. Accordingly, no allowance for retest is recorded by the Company.
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.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Property and Equipment
The Company reviews its property and equipment 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.
Goodwill
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142), which prescribes the accounting for all purchased goodwill. In accordance with SFAS 142, goodwill is not amortized but tested for impairment annually and whenever an impairment indicator arises.
F-29
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 (SFAS 109).
Regulatory Impact
Our business depends upon government legislation and regulations mandating air pollution controls. Georgia, Texas, and Utah laws are especially important to us because all of our existing emissions testing services are currently conducted in those states. In addition, because we are seeking expansion opportunities, laws mandating air pollution controls in other states could affect our business or, since not all states require emissions testing, our ability to expand. Changes in federal or state laws that govern or apply to our operations could have a materially adverse effect on our business, such as 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, if any, in federal or state law would not have a materially adverse effect on the vehicle emissions testing industry generally or, specifically, on our business.
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 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 employees 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 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as amended by SFAS 148, Accounting for Stock-Based CompensationTransition 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-QSB have not been restated to reflect the fair value method of expensing share-based compensation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which establishes a framework for reporting fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this standard on its financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. SFAS No. 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entitys first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this standard on its financial statements.

Note 2: | Net Income Per Common Share |
Net income per share has been computed according to SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share, which requires a dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS). Basic EPS represents net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during a reported period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock, including stock options, warrants, and contingently issuable shares such as the Companys Series A and Series B preferred stock (commonly and hereinafter referred to as Common Stock Equivalents), were exercised or converted into common stock.
The following table sets forth the computation for basic and diluted net income per share for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively:

(1) | Because their effects are anti-dilutive, 17,741,014 and 17,723,962 shares 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, 2007 and 2006, respectively. |
(2) | Series B convertible preferred stock held by Barron Partners, LP do not have voting rights and are subject to a maximum ownership by Barron Partners, LP at any time of 4.9% of the Companys outstanding common stock. As a result, Common Share Equivalents of the Series B convertible preferred stock of 18,760,000 are anti-dilutive and have been excluded from the weighted average common shares (diluted) calculation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006. |
Note 3: | Stockholders Equity |
Preferred Stock
There were 5,133 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.
There were 2,481,482 shares Series B convertible preferred stock issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.
Common Stock
On September 24, 2007, the Company issued 2,127,150 shares of our common stock pursuant to a private placement for a cash purchase price of $0.15 per share, plus the surrender of warrants to purchase 2,127,150 shares of common stock. The total offering price was $319,072. The issuance of common stock pursuant to the private placement was exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4 (2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder.
F-31
Proceeds from the offering are expected to be used to fund the Companys growth into two new markets: Dallas, Texas and St. Louis, Missouri. The Company expects to open between twelve and seventeen stores combined in these markets by March 31, 2008, subject to standard emission and safety station licensing approval from the respective state regulatory agencies.
The Company is authorized to issue 250,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock, of which 5,162,108 and 2,963,528 shares were issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.
Note 4: | Share-Based Compensation |
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation pursuant to SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, which requires measurement of compensation cost for all stock awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognition of compensation over the requisite service period for awards expected to vest. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes valuation model, and determines the fair value of restricted stock units based on the number of shares granted and the quoted price of Speedemissions common stock on the date of grant. Such value is recognized as expense over the requisite service period, net of estimated forfeitures, using the straight-line attribution method. The estimate of awards that will ultimately vest requires significant judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from the Companys current estimates, such amounts will be recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period estimates are revised. The Company considers many factors when estimating expected forfeitures, including types of awards, employee class and historical employee attrition rates. Actual results, and future changes in estimates, may differ substantially from the Companys current estimates.
Stock-based compensation expense was $34,132 and $8,071 during the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense was $102,397 and $69,326 during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Stock Option Plans
The Company has granted options to employees and directors to purchase the Companys common stock under various stock incentive plans. Under the plans, employees and non-employee directors are eligible to receive awards of various forms of equity-based incentive compensation, including stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance awards, among others. The plans are administered by the Board of Directors and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, which determine the terms of the awards granted. Stock options are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market value of Speedemissions, Inc. common stock on the date of grant, have a term of ten years or less, and generally vest over three years from the date of grant.
The following table sets forth the options granted under the Speedemissions Stock Option Plans as of September 30, 2007:

F-32
The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and exercisable at September 30, 2007 was $0. Intrinsic value is the amount by which the fair value of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price of the options.
As of September 30, 2007, there was $110,902 of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to non-vested stock options. This amount will be recognized over the vesting periods, as stated in the option agreements. No shares vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
The following table represents our non-vested stock options and warrant activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2007:

There were no options granted or exercised during the nine month period ended September 30, 2007.
Stock Warrants
There were 15,487,789 and 17,700,437 common stock warrants issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. There were no common stock warrants granted or exercised during the nine month period ended September 30, 2007. Pursuant to a private placement of common stock as discussed in Note 3, 2,127,150 warrants were surrendered during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007. See Note 7 Subsequent Events for additional disclosure of stock warrant activity.
Note 5: | Income Taxes |
No provision for income taxes has been reflected for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 as the Company has sufficient net operating loss carry forwards to offset taxable income.
Note 6: | 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.
Note 7: | Subsequent Events |
The Company consummated and adopted the following plan of recapitalization effective as of the close of Business on October 12, 2007. Barron Partners LP surrendered all 12,587,431 of their common stock purchase warrants in exchange for 4,195,810 warrants at an exercise price of $0.90 per share, 4,195,810 warrants at an exercise price of $0.60 per share and 4,195,811 warrants at an exercise price of $0.30 per share.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Speedemissions, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Mr. Sticker, Inc. (the Company) as of March 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related 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 internal control over financial reporting. Our audit 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 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.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Mr. Sticker, Inc. as of March 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

March 31, 2005 and 2004
Note 1: | Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Nature of Operations
Mr. Sticker, Inc. (Mr. Sticker or the Company) was incorporated on April 24, 1985, under the laws of the state of Texas for the primary business purpose of opening, acquiring, developing and operating vehicle emission testing stations.
The Company is engaged in opening, acquiring, developing and operating vehicle emissions testing 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.
As of March 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company operated six emissions testing stations. All of the operations were located in the metropolitan Houston, Texas area. The Company does business under the trade name Mr. Sticker. At its emissions testing stations, the Company uses computerized emissions testing equipment that tests vehicles for compliance with emissions standards; in the emissions testing industry, such stations are known as decentralized facilities. The Company utilizes basic testing systems that test a motor vehicles emissions while in neutral and enhanced testing systems that test a vehicles emissions under simulated driving conditions.
Use of Estimates in Financial Statements
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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized as the testing services are performed. Under current state of Texas law, the charge for an emission test is generally limited to $39.50 per vehicle, which is recorded by the Company as gross revenue. The cost of emissions certificates due to the state of Texas varies between $5.50 and $14.00 per certificate depending on the type of test and is shown separately in the accompanying statements of operations. In some cases, in response to competitive situations, the Company has charged less than the statutory maximum revenue charges allowed.
The Company normally requires that the customers payment be made with cash, check or credit card; accordingly, the Company does not have significant levels of accounts receivable.
Under current Texas 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. At the time of initial testing, the Company provides an allowance for potential retest costs, based on prior retest experience and information furnished by the state of Texas, which is comprised mainly of the labor cost associated with performing a retest. When a retest is performed, the incremental cost of performing a retest is applied against the retest allowance. At March 31, 2005 and 2004, the allowance for retest costs was not material.
Property and Equipment and Depreciation
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives, as follows: building, twenty years; furniture, fixtures and emission testing equipment, seven years; and vehicles, five years.
F-40
Repair and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred. Gains or losses on disposals are reflected in operations.
Income Taxes
The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes whereby deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences by applying statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of certain assets and liabilities. Changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities include the impact of any tax rate changes enacted during the year.
Cash Concentrations
At times, cash balances may exceed federally insured amounts. The Company believes it mitigates risks by depositing cash with major financial institutions.

Note 5: | Operating Leases |
The Company leases land and buildings for its emissions testing stations. The leases generally require that the Company pay taxes, maintenance and insurance. Some of the leases for the emissions 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 of the above leases contain scheduled base rent increases over the terms of the leases. The rent payments are charged to expense on a straightline basis over the term of the lease. At March 31, 2005 and 2004, the excess of rent expense over cash payments since inception of the leases, which is included in accrued liabilities, was $18,590 and $9,350, respectively.

Note 6: | Related Party Transactions |
The president of the Company has periodically made cash loans to the Company for short-term working capital purposes. These loans are repaid by the Company as cash became available. No interest was paid by the Company on these loans. As of March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, $1,785 and $41,875 was owed by the Company to its president as a result of these loans.
Note 7: | Major Supplier |
During the years ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 the Company paid, respectively, approximately $856,000 and $830,000 to a single supplier, The Texas Department of Public Safety, for the purchase of emission testing stickers.
Note 8: | Regulatory Risk and Uncertainties |
The current and future demand for the Companys 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.
Note 9: | Subsequent Event |
On March 3, 2005, the officers and shareholders of the Company executed a letter of intent to sell the Company to Speedemissions, Inc., a public company based in Georgia. Under the terms of the letter of intent, Speedemissions, Inc. will purchase all of the outstanding common shares of the Company for $3,100,000. The closing of the sale was effected on June 30, 2005.

PART IIINFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 607.0850 of the Florida Business Corporation Act permits corporations to indemnify a director, officer, employee, or agent if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the corporation.
Article X of our Articles of Incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, no director or officer shall be personally liable to the Company or its shareholders for damages for breach of any duty owed to the Corporation or its shareholders. In addition, the Company shall have the power, in its Bylaws or in any resolution of its shareholders or directors, to indemnify the officers and directors of the Company against any liability as may be determined to be in the best interest of the Company, and in conjunction therewith, to buy, at this Companys expense, policies of insurance.
Our Bylaws do not further address indemnification. In 2003, we entered into a separate indemnification agreement with each of our then-current directors, and we have subsequently entered into a separate indemnification agreement with each of Mr. Guirlinger, Mr. Bradley and Mr. Childs.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the small business issuer has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution
We will pay all expenses in connection with the registration and sale of the common stock by the selling security holders. The estimated expenses of issuance and distribution are set forth below:

The total offering price was $2,642,241, which was for up to 17,614,938 shares of common stock at $0.15 per share. We relied on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for an exemption from registration for the offering on the basis that the offering was a nonpublic offering to existing securityholders of Speedemissions. Pursuant to such offering, on September 24, 2007, certain warrantholders purchased and were issued 2,127,150 shares of common stock, for a total purchase price of $319,073.

Undertakings
A. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by our director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
B. We hereby undertake:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to registration statement to:
(i) Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) (Section 230.424(b) of Regulation S-B) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the Calculation of Registration Fee table in the effective Registration Statement; and
(iii) Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution.
(2) For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering.
(3) File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.
(4) That, for determining liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b) (1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of th
