Speedemissions, Inc. Reports First Quarter Results

ATLANTA, May 15 PRNewswire-FirstCall — Speedemissions, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: SPMI), a leading vehicle emissions testing and safety inspections company with 50 testing stores in Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Salt Lake City and St. Louis today announced its results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2008.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2008, the Company reported revenue of $2,483,000, up 2.9% from $2,413,000 in the same period last year. Revenue from same stores sales decreased $36,000 or 1.5%. The Company incurred net loss of $176,000, or ($0.03) per basic and diluted share compared to a net loss of $52,000, or ($0.2) per basic and diluted share in the comparable period year in 2007. Net loss was negatively affected by $198,000 in pre-opening and early operating losses experienced at the Company's new locations in Dallas (12 stores), St. Louis (3 stores) and Houston (3 stores).

Cost of emissions certificates totaled $544,000 in the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 compared to $600,000 in the comparable period in 2007. Store operating expenses totaled $1,621,000 in the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 compared to $1,500,000 in the comparable period in 2007. Same store operating expenses decreased $153,000 in the three month period ended March 31, 2008 over the prior comparable period in 2007 as a result of cost saving initiatives.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2008, general and administrative expenses were $486,000 compared to $358,000 in the comparable period in 2007. General and administrative expenses increased mainly as a result of legal and accounting fees associated with additional SEC filings.

Richard A. Parlontieri, President/CEO of Speedemissions stated:

"We have grown from 35 stores at March 31, 2007 to 50 stores as of March 31, 2008. Our investment in the new locations in Houston, Dallas and St. Louis show our commitment to expand our presence in new and existing markets where vehicle emissions testing and safety inspections are mandated. As expected, the investment in new stores added additional revenue and operating expenses to our results. We may operate at a loss and our cash on hand may decrease as a result of the early operating losses at the new stores until they achieve the test volume necessary to break even. We are pleased that have made progress in increasing the net operating profit in our same stores improved compared to the comparable three month period in 2007."
