Speedemissions, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2008
(Unaudited)
Note 1: Organization
We were incorporated as SKTF Enterprises, Inc. in Florida in March 2001. In June 2003, we acquired Speedemissions, Inc., a Georgia corporation in the business of vehicle emissions testing since May 2000. In connection with the acquisition, we changed our name to Speedemissions, Inc. in September 2003.
We perform vehicle emissions testing and safety inspections in certain cities in which vehicle emissions testing is mandated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). We use computerized emissions testing and safety inspections equipment that test vehicles for compliance with vehicle emissions and safety standards. Our revenues are generated from the test or inspection fee charged to the registered owner of the vehicle. We do not provide automotive repair services.
As of November 4, 2008, we operated 43 vehicle emissions testing and safety inspection centers in five separate markets, greater Atlanta, Georgia; Dallas, Texas; Houston, Texas; St. Louis, Missouri; Salt Lake City, Utah and four mobile units in the Atlanta, Georgia area.
Note 2: Basis of Presentation
Throughout this report, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “Speedemissions,” and “Company” refer to Speedemissions, Inc., including its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and in accordance with the SEC’s instructions applicable to Form 10-Q interim financial information. In the opinion of management, such consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of September 30, 2008 and for all periods presented. The results of operations presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year or for any future period.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements. Such interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements contained in our Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Note 3: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, as of September 30, 2008, the Company had cash on hand of $606,709, working capital deficit of $83,906, and an accumulated deficit of $12,354,401. The Company had net loss of $324,509 and negative cash flows from operations of $95,974 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to maintain sufficient cash flow from operations to meet current and future obligations and its ability to implement its business plan. There can be no assurance that management will be successful in implementing its plans. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Nature of Operations
Speedemissions is engaged in opening, acquiring, developing, and operating vehicle emissions testing and safety inspection stations. The federal government and a number of state and local governments in the United States (and in certain foreign countries) mandate vehicle emissions testing as a method of improving air quality.
7
The Company’s 43 emissions testing and safety inspection stations operate under the trade names Speedemissions (Georgia and Missouri), Mr. Sticker (Texas) and Just Inc. (Utah). At its emissions testing and safety inspection 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 vehicle’s emissions while in neutral and “enhanced” testing systems that test a vehicle’s emissions under simulated driving conditions.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized as the testing services are performed. The cost of emission certificates is shown separately in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
The Company normally requires that the customer’s payment be made with cash, check, or credit card; accordingly, the Company does not have significant levels of accounts receivable.
Under current Georgia, Missouri, Texas, and Utah laws, if a vehicle fails an emissions test or safety inspection, it may be retested at no additional charge during a specified period after the initial test, as long as the subsequent test is performed at the same facility. The costs of such retests and the number of retests are not material. Accordingly, no allowance for retest is recorded by the Company.
Goodwill
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”), which prescribes the accounting for all purchased goodwill. In accordance with SFAS 142, goodwill is not amortized but tested for impairment annually and whenever an impairment indicator arises.
We measure the fair value of reporting units using discounted future cash flows based on our projections. Because the business is assumed to continue in perpetuity, the discounted future cash flow includes a terminal value. The long-term growth assumptions incorporated into the discounted cash flow calculation reflect our long-term view of the market and the discount rate is based on our weighted average cost of capital. Each year we re-evaluate the assumptions used to reflect changes in the business environment.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). This statement clarifies the definition of fair value of assets and liabilities, establishes a framework for measuring fair value of assets and liabilities and expands the disclosures on fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. However, the FASB deferred the effective date of SFAS No. 157 until the fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 as it relates to the fair value measurement requirements for non-financial assets and liabilities that are initially measured at fair value, but not measured at fair value in subsequent periods. These non-financial assets include goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets which are included within other assets. In accordance with SFAS No. 157, the Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157 with respect to financial assets and liabilities effective as of January 1, 2008 and its adoption did not have a material impact on its results of operations or financial condition. The Company is assessing the impact of SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities and expects that this adoption will not have a material impact on its results of operations or financial condition.
In February 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible items at fair value (the “fair value option”) and requires an entity to report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. Upfront costs and fees related to items for which the fair value option is elected shall be recognized in earnings as incurred and not deferred. SFAS 159 was effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of SFAS 159 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In December 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations – Revised” (“SFAS 141(R)”). SFAS 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer in a business combination: recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree; recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase
8
price; and, determines what information to disclose to enable users of the consolidated financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. In the past, the Company has completed significant acquisitions. The application of SFAS 141(R) will cause management to evaluate future transaction returns under different conditions, particularly related to the near term and long term economic impact of expensing transaction costs up front.
In March 2008, FASB issued SFAS No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-an amendment of FASB statement No. 133” (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities and thereby improves the transparency of financial reporting. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. SFAS 161 encourages, but does not require, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption. The Company does not expect that this new pronouncement will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements in future periods.
In April 2008, FASB issued FASB Staff Position on Financial Accounting Standard (“FSP”) No. 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets”, (“FSP FAS 142-3”) which amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of intangible assets under SFAS No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” The intent of this FSP is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142 and the period of the expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007) “Business Combinations” and other U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of FSP FAS 142-3 on its financial statements.
In May 2008, FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS No.162”). SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements. SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” The implementation of this standard will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In May 2008, FASB issued FSP Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)” (“APB 14-1”)This FSP clarifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (including partial cash settlement) upon conversion. This FSP requires issuers to account separately for the liability and equity components of certain convertible debt instruments in a manner that reflects the issuer’s nonconvertible debt (unsecured debt) borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized. This FSP requires bifurcation of a component of the debt, classification of that component in equity and the accretion of the resulting discount on the debt to be recognized as part of interest expense in our consolidated statement of operations. This FSP requires retrospective application to the terms of instruments as they existed for all periods presented. The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP APB 14-1 to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In June 2008, FASB issued FSP Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities” (“FSP EITF 03-6-1”). This FSP addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, need to be included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share under the two-class method. This FSP affects entities that accrue dividends on share-based payment awards during the awards’ service period when the dividends do not need to be returned if the employees forfeit the award. This FSP is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the impact of FSP EITF 03-6-1 on its financial statements.
In June 2008, FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 07-5, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or an Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (“EITF 07-5”). EITF 07-5 provides that an entity should use a two step approach to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock, including evaluating the instrument’s contingent exercise and settlement provisions. It also clarifies on the impact of foreign currency denominated strike prices and market-based employee stock option valuation instruments on the evaluation. EITF 07-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the impact of EITF 07-5 on its financial statements.

Note 4: Going Concern
The Company has historically incurred losses and has limited capital resources, which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The future success of the Company is contingent upon, among other things, the ability to: achieve and maintain satisfactory levels of profitable operations; obtain and maintain adequate levels of debt and/or equity financing; and provide sufficient cash flow from operations to meet current and future obligations. The Company is actively seeking new sources of financing to expand its revenue opportunities, however there is no guarantee that the Company will be successful in obtaining the financing required to fund the capital needed for expansion.
The Company has taken certain steps to maintain its operating and financial requirements in an effort to enable it to continue as a going concern until such time that revenues are sufficient to cover expenses on a consistent basis, including expanding its revenue opportunities through the investment in new stores, incorporating revisions to its processes and costs by seeking reduced operating costs through service agreements, redistributing labor to reduce overtime costs, and improving the appearance of its stores and personnel.
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.

On December 7, 2007 and December 19, 2007, the Company entered into sixty month equipment financing agreements with two financing companies in the amounts of $55,124 and $40,458, respectively. The financing agreements are secured by the equipment and are personally guaranteed by the President of the Company. The financing agreements bear interest at 17.35% and 10.37% per annum, respectively.

Note 8: Net Income Per Common Share
Net income per share has been computed according to SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share,” which requires a dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”). Basic EPS represents net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during a reported period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock, including stock options, warrants, and contingently issuable shares such as the Company’s Series A and Series B preferred stock (commonly and hereinafter referred to as “Common Stock Equivalents”), were exercised or converted into common stock.
The following table sets forth the computation for basic and diluted net income per share for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively:

| (1) | Because their effects are anti-dilutive, 21,166,345 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 months ended September 30, 2008. |
| (2) | As a result of the Company’s net loss in the nine months ended September 30, 2008, aggregate Common Stock Equivalents of 21,166,345 issuable under stock option plans and stock warrants that were potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive and have been excluded from the computation of weighted average common shares (diluted) for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. These Common Stock Equivalents could be dilutive in future periods. |
| (3) | Because their effects are anti-dilutive, 17,751,014 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. |
| (4) | 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 Company’s outstanding common stock. |

| As a result, Common Share Equivalents of the Series B convertible preferred stock of 18,760,000 have been excluded from the weighted average common shares (diluted) calculation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2008. |
Note 9: Preferred and Common Stock
Preferred Stock
There were 5,133 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007. For financial statement purposes, the Series A convertible preferred stock has been presented outside of stockholders’ equity on the Company’s balance sheets as a result of certain conditions that are outside the control of the Company that could trigger redemption of the securities.
There were 2,481,482 shares Series B convertible preferred stock issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007.
Common Stock
The Company is authorized to issue 250,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock, of which 5,162,108 shares were issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007.
Note 10: Share-Based Compensation
The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes valuation model, and determines the fair value of restricted stock units based on the number of shares granted and the quoted price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Such value is recognized as expense over the requisite service period, net of estimated forfeitures, using the straight-line attribution method. The estimate of awards that will ultimately vest requires significant judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from the Company’s current estimates, such amounts will be recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period estimates are revised. The Company considers many factors when estimating expected forfeitures, including types of awards, employee class and historical employee attrition rates. Actual results, and future changes in estimates, may differ substantially from the Company’s current estimates.
Stock-based compensation expense under SFAS No. 123(R) was $37,712 and $32,716 during the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense under SFAS No. 123(R) was $141,422 and $98,149 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. In the Company’s Statement of Cash Flows, the $141,422 and $98,149 in share-based compensation expense was shown as a non-cash expense in the reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Stock Incentive Plans
The Company has granted options to employees and directors to purchase the Company’s common stock under various stock incentive plans. Under the plans, employees and non-employee directors are eligible to receive awards of various forms of equity-based incentive compensation, including stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance awards, among others. The plans are administered by the 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 the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, have a term of ten years or less, and generally vest over three years from the date of grant.
On May 19, 2008, the Compensation Committee the Company’s Board of Directors approved stock option awards to certain named executive officers, directors and employees under the Company’s 2008 Stock Grant and Option Plan. A copy of the plan was filed in the Company’s proxy statement filed on April 18, 2008 and approved by the shareholders on May 19, 2008. The award date was May 19, 2008.

5,721,058 | $ | 0.35 | ||||||
| Options exercisable at September 30, 2008 |
2,880,992 | $ | 0.47 | ||||||
The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and exercisable at September 30, 2008 was $0. Intrinsic value is the amount by which the fair value of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price of the options.
The fair value for stock options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires management to make certain assumptions. Expected volatility was based on the comparable company data. The Company based the risk-free interest rate on U.S. Treasury note rates. The expected term is based on the vesting period and an expected exercise term. The Company does not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future and therefore use an expected dividend yield of 0%. The Company used the following assumptions in using the Black-Scholes option pricing model for the May 19, 2008 grant:
| Risk free interest rate |
2.42 | % | |
| Expected term of stock awards |
2 years | ||
| Expected volatility in stock price |
45.00 | % | |
| Expected dividend yield |
None | ||
As of September 30, 2008, there was $71,701 of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to non-vested stock options. This amount is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of seventeen months. There were 1,266,666 shares that vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
There were 5,721,058 and 2,347,725 shares issued and outstanding under the Company’s SKTF, Inc. 2001 Stock Option Plan, the 2005 Omnibus Stock Grant and Option Plan, Speedemissions’ Inc. 2006 Stock Grant and Option Plan and 2008 Stock Grant and Option Plan as of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. There were 3,800,000 options granted under these plans during the nine month period ended September 30, 2008. There were no options exercised during the nine month period ended September 30, 2008.
Stock Warrants
There were no common stock warrants granted or exercised during the three or nine month periods ended September 30, 2008. The following table represents our warrant activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2008:

Note 11: Income Taxes
No provision for income taxes has been reflected for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 as the Company has sufficient net operating loss carry forwards to offset taxable income.
Note 12: Contingencies
The Company may from time to time be involved in various proceedings and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. While any proceeding or litigation has an element of uncertainty, the Company believes that the outcome of any lawsuit or claim that may be pending or threatened, or all of them combined, will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Note 13: Related Party Transactions
Effective on June 30, 2008, the Board filled a vacancy created by the resignation of Mr. John Bradley by electing Mr. Gerald Amato to serve on the Board. Mr. Amato was also elected to serve as a member of the Audit Committee. Mr. Amato has been determined by our Board of Directors to qualify as an independent director. Mr. Amato is currently President of Booke and Company, Inc., which provided investor relations services to the Company in the amount of $5,000 per month until August 31, 2008. The Company paid Booke and Company, Inc. $10,000 and $15,000 in the three month period ended September 31, 2008 and September 30, 2007, respectively. The Company paid Booke and Company, Inc. $40,000 and $45,000 for investor relations services during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007, respectively.
Note 14: Settlement of Condemnation Dispute
On September 2, 2008, the Company settled its condemnation dispute with Gwinnett County, Georgia.
The dispute arose from Gwinnett County’s plan to widen a road at the site of the Company’s Lawrenceville, Georgia store. The Company owned 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. On April 17, 2007, the Company received $209,600 from Gwinnett County as compensation for a portion of the building and land. The Company had filed an administrative appeal based on the amount of just and fair compensation. The Company occupied the building and continued to perform emission tests at the location until June 8, 2007.
The total amount of compensation to the Company for all rights to the Lawrenceville property is $330,000. The Company received the balance due of $120,400 from Gwinnett County in September 2008.
Note 15: Estimated effects from Hurricane Ike
The Company operates 15 vehicle emissions testing and safety inspection stations in the Houston, Texas area. The affected stations began curtailing operations in preparation of the storm on September 11, 2008. No employees were injured in the storm, and none of the facilities sustained any significant damage. The majority of the stations had power and were open within ten days after the storm and all stations had power and were operating by September 29, 2008. The Company estimates the loss of revenues to be less than $80,000. The Company’s property insurance programs provided comprehensive coverage for wind damage. The loss, including deductibles paid by the Company resulting from Hurricane Ike is estimated to be less than $50,000.

Forward-looking statements are, by their very nature, uncertain and risky. These risks and uncertainties include international, national and local general economic and market conditions; demographic changes; our ability to sustain, manage, or forecast growth; our ability to successfully make and integrate acquisitions; new product development and introduction; existing government regulations and changes in, or the failure to comply with, government regulations; adverse publicity; competition; the loss of significant store leases, customers or suppliers; fluctuations and difficulty in forecasting operating results; changes in business strategy or development plans; business disruptions; the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; the ability to protect technology; and other risks that might be detailed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Although the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report reflect the good faith judgment of our management, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known by them. Consequently, and because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, the actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in the forward-looking statements.

Overview
As of September 30, 2008 we operated 43 vehicle emissions testing stations and four mobile units in five separate markets, Atlanta, Georgia; Dallas-Ft. Worth, Texas; Houston, Texas; St. Louis, Missouri; and Salt Lake City, Utah. Since December 31, 2007, we opened one new store in Houston and three in St. Louis. In July 2008, we closed 8 of the twelve new stores that we had opened in the Greater Dallas-Ft. Worth area since December 31, 2007. In September 2008, we closed one store in the Atlanta area.
We perform vehicle emissions testing and safety inspections in certain cities in which vehicle emissions testing is mandated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). We use computerized emissions testing and safety inspections equipment that test vehicles for compliance with vehicle emissions and safety standards. Our revenues are generated from the test or inspection fee charged to the registered owner of the vehicle. We do not provide automotive repair services.
We charge a fee for each test, whether the vehicle passes or not, and a portion of that fee is passed on to the respective state governing agency.
We have undertaken cost containment and customer service initiatives over the past twelve months that have resulted in an increase in same store operating margins from 18.3% to 23.2% during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 over the comparable period. We expect our revenue to increase in 2008 but our overall store operating margins and overall profitability may be adversely affected in 2008 as we expect the new emissions testing stations to operate at a loss until we can add a sufficient number of customers which will allow each new store to break even.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended September 30, 2008 and 2007
Our revenue, cost of emission certificates, store operating expenses, general and administrative expenses and income from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2007 were as follows:

Revenue. Revenue increased $61,270 or 2.4% to $2,586,258 in the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $2,524,988 in the three months ended September 30, 2007. The increase in revenue over the comparable period was primarily due to an increase of $236,341 from new stores that were not open for the entire comparable period in the prior year, offset by a decrease in same store sales of $173,411 or (6.9%). The decrease in same store sales is partially attributable to the effects of Hurricane Ike and the general economic environment in the United States.
Cost of emission certificates. Cost of emission certificates decreased $94,313 or (15.0%) in the three month period ended September 30, 2008 and was $534,494 or 20.7% of revenues, compared to $628,807 or 24.9% of revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2007. The decrease in the cost of emission certificates was primarily due to a $158,328 decrease in same store certificate costs. The decrease in same store certificate costs mainly resulted from a decrease in the per certificate cost of our Georgia certificates, which decreased from $6.95 to $4.02 per test on October 1, 2007, the effects of Hurricane Ike and the general economic environment in the United States. The decrease in the cost of emissions certificates was offset by additional certificates issued in the amount of $64,015 at our new stores.
Store operating expenses. Store operating expenses increased $232,020, or 16.6% in the three month period ended September 30, 2008 and was $1,630,224 or 63.0% of revenues, compared to $1,398,204 or 55.4% of revenues in the three month period ended September 30, 2007. The increase was mainly attributable to $237,408 in new store operating expenses. The increase was offset by a decrease of $6,003 in same store operating expenses.
General and administrative expenses. Our general and administrative expenses decreased $42,836 or 8.9% to $439,285 in the three month period ended September 30, 2008 from $482,121 in the three month period ended September 30, 2007. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to decreases in legal and accounting fees.
(Gain)/loss from disposal of non-strategic assets. For the three months ended September 30, 2008, the Company recognized a gain of $51,471 from the disposal of non-strategic assets and did not realize a gain or loss in the three months ended September 30, 2007.
Other income, interest expense, net income and earnings per share. Our other income, interest expense, net income and earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2007 is as follows:

During the three months ended September 30, 2008, we had net income of $24,769 or $0.00 per weighted-average share-basic and diluted. During the three months ended September 30, 2007, we reported net income of $16,817 or $0.01 per weighted-average share-basic and $0.00 per weighted-average share - diluted.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008 and 2007
Our revenue, cost of emission certificates, store operating expenses, general and administrative expenses and income from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2007 were as follows:

Revenue. Revenue increased $272,704 or 3.7% to $7,679,119 in the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 compared to $7,406,415 in the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The increase in revenue over the comparable period was primarily due to an increase of $651,026 from new stores that were not open for the entire comparable period in the prior year, offset by the loss of $70,418 in revenue from the closure of our Lawrenceville, Georgia store in 2007 where Gwinnett County acquired the property for a road widening project and a decrease in same store sales of $307,904 or (4.2%)
Cost of emission certificates. Cost of emission certificates decreased $182,025 or (9.9%) in the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 and was $1,649,562 or 21.5% of revenues, compared to $1,831,587 or 24.7% of revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The decrease in the cost of emission certificates was primarily due to a $356,598 decrease in same store certificate costs and a $19,009 decrease in certificate costs from the closure of the Lawrenceville store discussed above. The decrease in same store certificate costs mainly resulted from a decrease in the per certificate cost of our Georgia certificates, which decreased from $6.95 to $4.02 per test on October 1, 2007. The decrease in the cost of emissions certificates was offset by additional certificates issued in the amount of $193,582 at our new stores.
Store operating expenses. Store operating expenses increased $667,146, or 15.6% in the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 and was $4,951,355 or 64.5% of revenues, compared to $4,284,209 or 57.8% of revenues in the nine month period ended September 30, 2007. The increase was mainly attributable to $933,777 in new store operating expenses. The increase was offset by a decrease of $242,736 in same store operating expenses and a decrease of $23,895 resulting from the closure of the Lawrenceville store.
General and administrative expenses. Our general and administrative expenses increased $217,334, or 18.0% to $1,427,368 in the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 from $1,210,034 in the nine month period ended September 30, 2007. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to increases in legal and accounting fees related to the filing of an updated registration statement, Sarbanes Oxley compliance costs, share based compensation expense and investor relations activities.
(Gain) loss from disposal of non-strategic assets. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company recognized a gain of $51,471 from the disposal of non-strategic assets compared to a loss of $11,735 in the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Introduction
Our net cash position decreased by $197,953 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 primarily as a result of additional capital and operating expenditures associated with our new stores opened in Texas and Missouri. As we continue to implement our growth strategy, we anticipate an increase in our net operating cash flow on a long-term basis, but with the increased costs of expanding our operations, we may not achieve positive operating cash flows on a consistent basis during 2008. The Company has funded operations and our investment in new stores primarily through the issuance of equity securities, equipment leases and cash provided by operations. In the future, we may continue to issue our equity securities in order to raise additional capital to fund expansion and working capital needs. If we are unsuccessful in obtaining additional sources of debt or capital and if the new stores do not reach sufficient levels of tests to achieve profitability in the short-term, we may have to close some of the recently opened stores within the next six months. We continually assess store profitability and may close non-profitable or poor performing stores.
Cash Requirements
For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, our net cash used in operating activities was $95,974 compared to net cash provided by operations of $352,834 in the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Negative operating cash flows during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 were primarily created by a net loss of $324,509, a decrease of $138,166 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, a increase in other assets of $3,750, a decrease in other liabilities of $7,169 and a gain from disposal of non-strategic assets of $51,471, offset by depreciation and amortization of $256,340, a decrease in other current assets of $31,329 and share based compensation expenses of $141,422. Because of our growth strategy, we do not have an opinion as to how indicative these results will be of future results.
Net cash provided by operating cash flows during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $352,834 and was primarily created by net income of $66,377, a decrease in other current assets of $40,417, depreciation and amortization of
18
$199,481, 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 $41,388 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and an increase in other assets of $21,937.
Sources and Uses of Cash
Overall net cash flow from operations may be adversely affected in 2008 and 2009 by the working capital needs of the new emissions testing stations in Dallas and St. Louis opened during December 2007 and during the first quarter of 2008. However, we do seek to effectively manage expenses associated with our existing operations and working capital to mitigate the adverse impact our growth initiatives are expected to have on our operational cash flow.
Net cash used in investing activities was $64,520 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $72,603 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

The net cash provided by investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was 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, offset by capital expenditures for new stores and the purchase of new equipment in the amount of $138,491.
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was ($37,459) and $200,908 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we made payments of $26,994 and $10,465 on capital leases and debt, respectively.

Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon its consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. In consultation with our Board of Directors, the Company has identified accounting policies related to valuation of our common stock and for assessing whether any value should be assigned to a warrant that we believe are key to an understanding of its financial statements. Additionally, the Company has identified accounting policies related to the valuation of goodwill, created as the result of business acquisitions, as key to an understanding of its financial statements. These are important accounting policies that require management’s most difficult, subjective judgments.
