This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements 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 statements that look to future events and consist of, among other things, statements about our anticipated future income including the amount and mix of revenue among type of product, category of customer, geographic region and distribution method and our anticipated future expenses and tax rates. Forward-looking statements include our business strategies and objectives and include statements about the expected benefits of our strategic alliances and acquisitions, our plans for the integration of acquired businesses, our continued investment in complementary businesses, products and technologies, our expectations regarding product acceptance, product and pricing competition, cash requirements and the amounts and uses of cash and working capital that we expect to generate. The words “may,” “would,” “should,” “will,” “assume,” “believe,” “plan,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “could,” “estimate,” “predict,” “goals,” “continue,” “project,” and similar expressions or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology are meant to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and are subject to business and economic risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict, including those identified below in Item 1A, “Risk Factors” as well as in Item 1, “Business” and Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

We cannot assume responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of forward-looking statements, and we undertake no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason.
 
Part I
 
Item 1. Business
 
Overview
 
Speedemissions, Inc. is one of the largest test-only emissions testing and safety inspection companies in the United States. We perform vehicle emissions testing and safety inspections in certain cities in which vehicle emissions testing is mandated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”). As of March 24, 2017, we operated 21 vehicle emissions testing and safety inspection stations under the trade names of Speedemissions and Auto Emissions Express (in Atlanta, Georgia and St. Louis, Missouri). On March 10, 2017, we closed our Salt Lake City, Utah, station under a lease termination agreement with the landlord.  As compensation for the early termination of the station’s lease, the Company received a cash payment of $250,000 on March 20, 2017.  We also operate three mobile testing units in the Atlanta, Georgia area which service automotive dealerships and local government agencies. We manage our operations based on these two regions, and we have one reportable segment. References in this document to “Speedemissions,” “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” mean Speedemissions, Inc. and our consolidated subsidiaries.
 
We use computerized emissions testing and safety inspections equipment that test vehicles for compliance with vehicle emissions and safety standards. We purchase or lease these computerized testing systems from state approved equipment vendors. Our revenues are mainly generated from the testing or inspection fees charged to the registered owner of the vehicle. As a service to our customers, we also sell automotive parts and supplies such as windshield wipers, taillight bulbs and gas caps at select locations. However, we do not provide automotive repair services.

On June 22, 2010, the Company announced the launch of its first iPhone application, Carbonga. Carbonga diagnoses an automobile’s computer system using the on board diagnostic port available on vehicles produced since 1996. Carbonga can check over 2,000 vehicle fault codes. We launched version two of Carbonga on February 16, 2011. Version two improved the speed and performance of the application and added additional features, including the ability to receive vehicle safety recalls and Technical Service Bulletins, for an annual subscription fee.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2012, we formed a new company, SpeedEmissions Car Care, LLC, through which we franchised our vehicle emissions and safety inspections store model. Franchises are available to qualified store operators who have an interest in either a single- or multi-location opportunity in select cities where vehicle emissions testing/safety inspections and other automotive services are required. We signed an agreement with an Atlanta based franchise consulting company to assist with our plan to franchise our business model into a number of new U.S. markets. After securing approval for all the necessary disclosure documents, we began marketing franchises in the fourth quarter of 2012.  However, as of December 31, 2016, we have sold no franchises.

On November 30, 2012, we completed the acquisition of certain operating assets comprising five emission testing centers owned by Auto Emissions Express, LLC (“AEE”), a Georgia corporation.  Total purchase price for the five emission testing centers was $425,000 and included goodwill valued at $379,714.

On October 25, 2013, we completed the acquisition of certain operating assets comprising the remaining seven emission testing centers owned by AEE. AEE originally owned and operated twelve emission testing centers in the Atlanta, Georgia area, consisting of the seven emission testing centers that we purchased in October 2013 and the five emission testing centers that we purchased in November 2012 as discussed above. Total purchase price for the seven emission testing centers was $350,000 and included goodwill valued at $296,604.

During the three months ended June 30, 2014, we sold the assets comprising six of our Houston, Texas stores for a combined amount of $220,000, consisting of $152,500 in cash and notes receivable for $67,500.  This note was paid in full during the year ended December 31, 2015.
 
On December 5, 2014, we sold the assets comprising five of our six Salt Lake City, Utah stores for $1,350,000 in cash.  After accounting for the sale of these five emissions testing centers, as of December 31, 2016 we operated 22 emission testing centers in Atlanta, Georgia, St. Louis, Missouri and Salt Lake City, Utah metropolitan areas, plus three mobile testing units in the Atlanta, Georgia area.
 
On March 10, 2017, we closed our Salt Lake City, Utah, station under a lease termination agreement with the landlord.  As compensation for the early termination of the center’s lease, the Company received a cash payment of $250,000 on March 20, 2017. After accounting for the closing of this emissions testing center, we currently operate 21 emission testing centers in Atlanta, Georgia and St. Louis, Missouri metropolitan areas, plus three mobile testing units in the Atlanta, Georgia area.

Recent Developments

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue as a going concern.

Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $220,729 or $(0.00) per share, compared to a net loss $488,994 or $(0.00) per share for the year ended December 31, 2015. Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2016 increased $173,434, or 5.3%, to $3,439,456 from $3,266,022 in the year ended December 31, 2015, primarily due to an increase in same store revenue of $175,695, or 5.4%, during the year ended December 31, 2016.

We have experienced recurring net losses which have caused an accumulated deficit of $22,027,626 at December 31, 2016, compared to an accumulated deficit of $21,806,897 at December 31, 2015. We had a working capital deficit of $1,599,535 at December 31, 2016 compared to a working capital deficit of $1,429,910 at December 31, 2015.

Our revenues over the past several years have been insufficient to attain profitable operations and to provide adequate levels of cash flow from operations. Our near-term liquidity and ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to generate sufficient revenues from our store operations to provide sufficient cash flow from operations to pay our current level of operating expenses, to provide for inventory purchases and to reduce past due amounts owed to vendors and service providers. No assurances can be given that we will be able to achieve sufficient levels of revenues in the near-term to provide adequate levels of cash flow from operations. As a result of our history of losses and financial condition, there is substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

During the past several years, we have made reductions in employee headcount, sold or closed unprofitable stores, and reduced store operating expenses, corporate overhead and other operating expenses. At December 31, 2016, our primary source of liquidity for cash flows was cash received from our store operations. We are dependent on our revenues in the very near term to provide sufficient cash flow from operations to pay our current level of operating expenses, to provide for inventory purchases and to reduce past due amounts owed to landlords, vendors and service providers. No assurances may be given that the cash received from our store operations will be sufficient to cover our ongoing operating expenses. If the cash received from our store operations is not sufficient, we would need to obtain new financing or raise additional capital to continue as a going concern and to execute our business plan. There is no assurance that such financing or capital would be available or, if available, that we would be able to complete financing or a capital raise on satisfactory terms to allow us to continue as a going concern.

During the past several years, due to insufficient cash flow from operations, we have been extending payments owed to landlords and vendors beyond normal payment terms and deadlines.  Until such vendors are paid within normal payment terms, no assurances can be given that required services and materials needed to support our operations will continue to be provided. In addition, no assurances can be given that vendors will not pursue legal means to collect past due balances owed. Any interruption of services or materials would likely have an adverse impact on our operations and could impact our ability to continue as a going concern.

On December 13, 2013 and on January 10, 2014, the Circuit Court in the Twelfth Judicial Circuit in and for Sarasota County, Florida (the “Court”), entered an Order Granting Approval of Settlement Agreement (the “Order”) approving, among other things, the fairness of the terms and conditions of an exchange pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), in accordance with a Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) between the Company and IBC Funds, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“IBC”), in the matter entitled IBC Funds, LLC, vs. SpeedEmissions, Inc., Case Nos. 2013 CA 008762 NC and 2014 CA 000153 (the “Actions”). IBC commenced the Actions against us to recover an aggregate of $205,643 of past-due accounts payable, which IBC had purchased from certain of our vendors pursuant to the terms of separate claim purchase agreements between IBC and each of the respective vendors (the “Assigned Accounts), plus fees and costs (the “Claim”). The Assigned Accounts relate to certain research, technical, development and legal services. The Order provides for the full and final settlement of the Claim and the Action. The Settlement Agreement became effective and binding on December 13, 2013 and January 10, 2014, respectively.
 
The Settlement Agreement provides that in no event shall the number of shares of common stock issued by the Company to IBC or its designee in connection with the Settlement Agreement, when aggregated with all other shares of common stock then beneficially owned by IBC and its affiliates (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and the rules and regulations thereunder), result in the beneficial ownership by IBC and its affiliates (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder) at any time of more than 9.99% of the common stock of the Company.  Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company issued 59,098,059 of its common shares to IBC during the year ended December 31, 2014, in full satisfaction of all amounts due IBC under the Settlement Agreement.
 
Furthermore, the Settlement Agreement provides that, for so long as IBC or any of its affiliates hold any shares of common stock of the Company, the Company and its affiliates are prohibited from, among other things, voting any securities of the Company in favor of: (1) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (2) a sale or transfer of a material amount of the Company’s assets or its subsidiaries’ assets, (3) any material change in the Company’s present capitalization or dividend policy, (4) any other material change in the Company’s business or corporate structure, (5) a change in the Company’s charter, bylaws, or instruments corresponding thereto (6) causing a class of the Company’s securities to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association, (7) causing a class of the Company’s equity securities to become eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act, (8) terminating the Company’s transfer agent, (9) taking any action which would impede the purposes and objects of the Settlement Agreement or (10) taking any action, intention, plan or arrangement similar to any of those enumerated above. These prohibitions may not be modified or waived without further order of the Court.  As of December 31, 2016, neither IBC nor any of its affiliates held any shares of common stock of the Company.
 
On November 5, 2014, the Company entered into a promissory note agreement with Dianna Parlontieri, wife of the Company’s President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, pursuant to which Mrs. Parlontieri loaned the Company $20,000 for working capital purposes. Under the terms of the promissory note, the Company agreed to repay the loan, plus interest, for a total amount of $20,400 by December 15, 2014.  Because the Company did not repay the loan in full by December 15, 2014, the Company is required to repay $1,700 on the 15th of each month, which began on December 15, 2014, until the loan is re-paid in full.  If any of the monthly payments are not paid on the respective due date then the monthly payment amount is subject to a default interest rate of 10% per annum.  The Company is currently in default of the terms of this promissory note as it did not make the required repayment on December 15, 2014 and has not made any of the required monthly payments as of the date of this report.
 
On March 6, 2015, the Company entered into another revenue-based factoring agreement with SP, pursuant to which the Company agreed to repay SP $60,000 from a loan made by SP to the Company, plus a fixed fee which the Company recorded as interest expense, for a total repayment amount of $76,800 by June 16, 2015.  The Company repaid the remaining balance on June 16, 2015 and, as a result, there was no outstanding balance as of December 31, 2015.
 
On April 16, 2015, the Company entered into a revolving loan agreement with Celtic Bank (“CB”), pursuant to which the Company initially borrowed $17,000 from CB.  Under the terms of the revolving loan agreement, the Company agreed to repay the initial loan, plus interest, for a total amount of $18,955 by October 15, 2015.  The Company made the required six monthly payments by the October 15, 2015 due date.  At their sole discretion, CB can increase the maximum availability under the revolving loan agreement above the $17,000 amount established upon the execution of the revolving loan agreement and, effective April 18, 2016, CB increased our borrowing limit to $33,200.  At March 24, 2017, the outstanding balance on our revolving loan facility with CB was approximately $27,000 and our cash balances were approximately $148,000.
 
On June 8, 2015, the Company entered into a revenue-based factoring agreement with Samson Partners, LLC (“SP”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to repay SP $250,000 from a loan made by SP to the Company, plus a fixed fee which the Company will record as interest expense, for a total repayment amount of $337,500 by April 14, 2016.  A portion of the proceeds were used to pay off the March 6, 2015 SP revenue-based factoring agreement. The Company repaid the remaining balance on January 8, 2016 and, as a result, there was no outstanding balance as of December 31, 2016.

On October 12, 2015, the Company entered into another revenue-based factoring agreement with SP, pursuant to which the Company agreed to repay SP $75,000 from a loan made by SP to the Company, plus a fixed fee which the Company recorded as interest expense, for a total repayment amount of $101,250 by August 22, 2016.  A portion of the proceeds were used to pay off the April 16, 2015 SP revenue-based factoring agreement described above. The Company repaid the remaining balance on May 31, 2016 and, as a result, there was no outstanding balance as of December 31, 2016.
 
On January 5, 2016, the Company entered into another revenue-based factoring agreement with SP, pursuant to which the Company agreed to repay SP $235,000 from a loan made by SP to the Company, plus a fixed fee which the Company recorded as interest expense, for a total repayment amount of $321,950 by January 10, 2017.  A portion of the proceeds were used to pay off the June 8, 2015 SP revenue-based factoring agreement described above.  The Company repaid the balance of the loan on September 23, 2016 and, as a result, there was no outstanding balance as of December 31, 2016.
 
On May 26, 2016, the Company entered into another revenue-based factoring agreement with SP, pursuant to which the Company agreed to repay SP $200,000 from a loan made by SP to the Company, plus a fixed fee which the Company will record as interest expense, for a total repayment amount of $260,000 by May 31, 2017.  A portion of the proceeds were used to pay off the October 12, 2015 SP revenue-based factoring agreement described above. The Company repaid the balance of the loan on December 27, 2016 and, as a result, there was no outstanding balance as of December 31, 2016.
 
On September 16, 2016, the Company entered into another revenue-based factoring agreement with SP, pursuant to which the Company agreed to repay SP $200,000 from a loan made by SP to the Company, plus a fixed fee which the Company will record as interest expense, for a total repayment amount of $270,000 by September 10, 2017.  A portion of the proceeds were used to pay off the January 5, 2016 SP revenue-based factoring agreement described above. Under the terms of the agreement, SP is authorized to make debits of $1,097 on each available banking day during the term of the agreement which represents a fee rate of 35.0%. The agreement had a balance due of $147,182 as of December 31, 2016.
 
On December 19, 2016, the Company entered into another revenue-based factoring agreement with SP, pursuant to which the Company agreed to repay SP $225,000 from a loan made by SP to the Company, plus a fixed fee which the Company will record as interest expense, for a total repayment amount of $290,250 by December 12, 2017.  A portion of the proceeds were used to pay off the May 26, 2016 SP revenue-based factoring agreement described above. Under the terms of the agreement, SP is authorized to make debits of $1,180 on each available banking day during the term of the agreement which represents a fee rate of 29.0%. The agreement had a balance due of $222,255 as of December 31, 2016.
 
We have been unable to make all required payments to the federal government for payroll taxes withheld from employee paychecks and the associated matching employer payroll taxes from April 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015 and for November and December of 2016. As of March 24, 2017, we owed approximately $332,000, including penalties and interest assessed through December 31, 2016, for the previously described payroll tax obligations to the federal government.  We proposed a payment plan to the federal government and made payments totaling approximately $53,000 from September 30, 2015 through December 31, 2016, but we have not reached an agreed payment schedule for the remainder of our federal payroll tax obligations as of the date of this report. However, we made all federal tax deposits for 2017 payroll periods through March 24, 2017.
 
On March 10, 2017 we closed our Salt Lake City, Utah, station under a lease termination agreement with the landlord.  As compensation for the early termination of the station’s lease, the Company received a cash payment of $250,000 on March 20, 2017.
 
On March 20, 2017, we purchased certain assets of Auto Recycling of Montgomery, Inc. (“ARM”) which are located in Montgomery, Alabama.  The assets included land, buildings, equipment and inventory previously used in an auto recycling operation which ceased operations in June of 2014.  The purchase price was $175,000 for the land and buildings and $90,000 for the equipment and inventory.  As payment for the assets the Company entered into two separate note agreements. Terms of each note included an interest rate of ten percent and an amortization term of ten years with a seven year balloon payment.  Monthly payments for the $175,000 land and buildings note and for the $90,000 equipment and inventory note are $2,313and $1,189, respectively.  The Company intends to create an auto salvage business operation, but expects it will take approximately 60 days to hire employees and put the necessary business systems in place before sales operations can commence.

Our Typical Testing Center

Our testing centers generally are located in freestanding buildings in areas with high vehicle traffic counts, good visibility and easy access to major roadways. 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 that vehicles can “drive-through” the facility. We also have structures that resemble a bank drive-through facility. We believe that we are creating brand awareness in our current testing stations by using a recognizable building style and façade, consistent color schemes, signs and employee uniforms, and by advertising in select local markets. Computerized testing systems are located in each building to test vehicle emissions and vehicle safety if applicable in that state.

Most of our emissions testing stations are open for business during weekdays between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., and from 8:30 a.m.to 5:00 p.m. on Saturdays. The average emissions test in Georgia takes approximately eight to 12 minutes to complete. In Missouri and Utah, because of the safety inspection, the completion time is slightly longer.
 
There are two types of primary emissions tests that are performed, the Accelerated Simulated Model (“ASM”) and the On-Board Diagnostic (“OBD”). The ASM test is performed on vehicles produced before 1996, while the OBD test is conducted on vehicles produced during and after 1996. In selected markets, a vehicle safety inspection is required to be performed. These tests apply to vehicles generally manufactured from 1983 through 2005, depending on the state. We generally operate one or two testing lanes at each testing center depending upon the size of the building. We typically lease the building from the property owners, although in the past, we constructed several buildings on land leases—a practice we no longer follow.
 
In our Atlanta, Georgia locations, under the guidelines of the Georgia Clean Air Force (“GCAF”) program, the mobile vehicle emissions testing units are only permitted to conduct the OBD test on 1996 and newer vehicles. In the Atlanta, Georgia area, we currently have three mobile units and they serve the automobile fleets of the federal, state, and local governments. All used cars in Georgia, prior to being re-sold, must have a vehicle emissions test, and we serve selected new and used car dealers throughout the greater Atlanta market with these mobile units.
 
Industry Background – Government and Regulatory Overview
 
The EPA reported in 2012 that approximately 148.0 million people lived in counties across the United States whose air pollution exceeded national air quality standards. According to the EPA, motor vehicles are responsible for nearly one half of the smog-forming volatile organic compounds, more than half of the nitrogen oxide emissions and about half of the toxic air pollutant emissions in the United States. Motor vehicles, including off road vehicles, now account for 75% of carbon monoxide emissions nationwide according to the EPA. In the United States, there are more than 250 million cars and light-duty trucks on the road according to the U.S. Federal Highway Administration.
 
The 2012 Motor Vehicle I/M Solutions Jurisdiction Report published by Sierra Research states that 32 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, which has led governmental authorities to pass more stringent pollution control measures. One especially effective measure that many governmental authorities have adopted is vehicle emissions testing. The EPA estimates that enhanced emissions testing on motor vehicles is approximately 10 times more cost-effective in reducing air pollution than increasing controls on stationary pollution sources such as factories and utilities. Consequently, the EPA has made emissions testing an integral part of its overall effort to reduce air pollution by ensuring that vehicles meet emissions standards.
 
Vehicle emissions control requirements have become progressively more stringent since the passage of the Clean Air Act in 1970. In 1990, Congress amended the Clean Air Act to require areas that did not meet national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) to implement either basic or “enhanced” vehicle I/M emissions testing programs, depending upon the severity of the area’s air quality problem. The Act also required that metro areas with populations of more than 100,000 implement enhanced I/M emissions testing regardless of their air quality designation.
 
On November 5, 1992, the EPA issued its original rule establishing minimum performance and administrative requirements for states developing air quality implementation plans. The EPA said areas that needed enhanced emissions testing would have to use their new “I/M 240” test procedure. However, the EPA decided to grant state governmental authorities the discretion to determine how best to establish and operate a network of emissions testing facilities, including the flexibility to choose either a centralized or a decentralized program.
 
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 either licensed or 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, including the Company, may perform emissions tests, including those engaged primarily in other businesses, such as automotive repair shops, oil change stores and others. For many of these operators, performing emissions tests is not their primary business.
 
Nineteen states have implemented decentralized programs, and 10 states and the District of Columbia have implemented centralized programs. There are three states that have implemented a hybrid program, whereby the state operates its own testing stations and also allows independently operated 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 to the Clean Air Act. 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.
 
Since 1977, when federal legislation first required states to comply with emissions standards through the use of testing programs, California has been a leader in testing procedures and technical standards. California has approximately 23 million vehicles subject to emissions testing, more than two times that of any other state. California’s testing program is overseen by the California Bureau of Automotive Repair (“CARB”). CARB has revised its emissions testing standards three times: in 1984, 1990, 1997 and 2010. 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. California’s testing standards have become the benchmark for emissions testing in the United States.
 
All states with decentralized programs and many states with centralized programs require emissions testing and analysis equipment used in their programs to be BAR-97 certified, with all newly implemented enhanced programs requiring BAR-97 certification.
 
As emissions testing equipment has become more technologically advanced, government regulators have required that testing facilities use this more advanced equipment. The most significant technological advance that has occurred in the emissions testing industry over the past decade is the development of enhanced testing systems. Prior to 1990, the EPA required government agencies to test vehicles only for emissions of carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons, which form smog. During this “basic” test, a technician inserts a probe in the vehicle’s tailpipe while the vehicle is idling and emissions analyzers then measure pollution levels in the exhaust. These basic tests worked well for pre-1981, non-computerized vehicles containing carburetors because typical emission control problems involved incorrect air/fuel mixtures and such problems increase pollution levels in the exhaust even when the vehicle is idling.
 
However, today’s vehicles have different emissions problems. For tests on modern vehicles to be effective, the equipment must measure nitrogen oxide emissions that also cause smog and must test the vehicle under simulated driving conditions. The EPA now requires these enhanced tests in the major metropolitan areas of 32 states and the District of Columbia. A technician conducts these ASM tests on a dynamometer, a treadmill-type device that simulates actual driving conditions, including periods of acceleration, deceleration and cruising, or the OBD by plugging into the vehicles computerized operation system.
 
 Emissions Testing in the State of Georgia
 
In 1996, the Environmental Protection Division of the State of Georgia initiated the GCAF program that required emissions testing of certain vehicles in a 13 county area surrounding metro Atlanta, Georgia. These rules are set forth in Sections 391-3-20-.01 through .22 of the Rules of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Environmental Protection Division.
 
Georgia’s program is a decentralized program. All operators performing emissions testing in Georgia must have their technicians attend and complete certain state certified training, and report to the state on their emissions testing activities every month. Testing stations may be licensed to test all vehicles, which are known as “All Vehicles Welcome” stations, or only vehicles not more than ten years old, known as “1996 or Newer Vehicles Only” stations. All the stations we currently operate in Georgia are “All Vehicles Welcome” stations, except for two of the stores acquired in the 2012 acquisition of five Georgia stores from AEE. The program requires vehicles in the 13 covered counties to undergo an emissions test 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 GCAF, there are approximately 1,000 licensed test sites and approximately 2.6 million tests are performed annually in Georgia.
 
Georgia law mandates compliance with its vehicle emissions testing program. For vehicles subject to the state’s emissions law, a successful test, or a waiver from the state, is required to obtain a vehicle registration in Georgia. Nearly 2 million heavy polluting vehicles have been identified and repaired since the start of the program in 1996.
 
Emissions Testing and Safety Inspections 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.

All vehicles registered in Davis, Salt Lake, Utah, Weber, and Cache counties with model years less than six years old are required to have an emissions test once every two years. Vehicles with model years six years old and older (to 1975) must have an emissions test every year. Emissions’ testing is not required for vehicles with model years 1975 or older. Currently, 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. The Utah State Legislature passed an amended version of Utah House Bill 298, titled Motor Vehicle Safety Inspection Amendments on March 9, 2012, which amended Utah’s existing auto safety inspection law and became effective on January 1, 2013. The new bill requires vehicle safety inspections on vehicles which are four, eight and 10 years old, and then annually for the rest of the vehicle’s life, rather than  on odd/even model years for vehicles less than eight years old and annually for all other vehicles under the former law. Vehicle emissions testing laws in Utah were not impacted by Utah House Bill 298.
 
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.
 
On March 10, 2017 we closed our Salt Lake City, Utah, station under a lease termination agreement with the landlord.  As compensation for the early termination of the station’s lease, the Company received a cash payment of $250,000 on March 20, 2017.
 
 Emissions Testing and Safety Inspections in the State of Missouri
 
The state of Missouri’s Gateway Vehicle Inspection Program switched from a centralized program to a decentralized program on October 1, 2007. The program is administered by the Department of Natural Resources and the Missouri State Highway Patrol.
 
Missouri law requires all motor vehicles pass a vehicle safety inspection at an authorized inspection station every other year, unless specifically exempted from a safety inspection. New motor vehicles are exempt from the safety inspection during the first five years following the model year of manufacture.
 
In addition to the safety inspection, vehicles registered in St. Louis City, St. Louis County, St. Charles County, Franklin County and Jefferson County are required to have an emissions inspection every other year prior to registering the vehicle. New motor vehicles and the first retail sale of titled motor vehicles with less than 6,000 miles during the model year of the vehicle and the following year are exempt from the emissions inspection. Vehicles with a model year of 1995 and older are exempt from the ASM emissions inspections in Missouri. However, an emissions inspection is required regardless of the model year if the vehicle is sold.
 
Operating Strategy
 
Our operating strategy focuses on (a) providing our customers with fast, honest and courteous vehicle testing and inspection services, (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 emissions testing and safety inspection stations at well-traveled intersections and other locations that are easily accessible by our customers;
 
Coordinate operations, training and local outreach programs in each market to enhance revenue and maximize cost efficiencies within each market;
 
Implement regional management and marketing initiatives in each of our markets;
 
Tailor each facility and use local advertising to describe the services we offer to appeal to the broadest range of consumers; and
 
Aspire to expand the use of our mobile vehicle testing units by bidding on federal, state, and local governments for their fleet vehicles, as well as corporate accounts and automotive dealerships.
 
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 significant portion of our materials. Certificates of emissions and safety inspections are purchased from each state’s department or agency responsible for overseeing the emissions testing and safety inspections programs in that state.
 
Intellectual Property
 
We have registered the trade names “Speedemissions”, “Just Emissions” and “Carbonga” in the United States.

Competition
 
The emissions testing and safety inspection industry contains numerous small owner-operators. Auto repair shops, tire stores, oil change stores, muffler shops, service stations, and other emissions testing stations may offer this service. There are also several national competitors at this time, including national oil change companies which perform emissions testing services. We expect competition from local operators at all of our locations. We estimate our total number of competitors to be several thousand across all the markets in which we operate. 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 emissions and safety tests our stations perform, and the price charged per test. Other emissions testing operators may have greater financial resources than us, which may allow them to obtain more expensive and advantageous locations for testing stations, provide services in addition to emissions testing, charge lower prices, and advertise and promote their businesses more effectively than we do. For example, some of our competitors in Atlanta charge only $15.00 to test a vehicle’s emissions rather than the $25.00 maximum allowed under Georgia law. As a result, we have had to reduce or discount our fees in some of our Atlanta stations. We intend to compete by creating brand awareness through advertising, standard building style and facade, consistent color scheme and uniform, and superior customer experience. Although we believe our stations are well positioned to compete, we cannot assure you that our stations will maintain, or 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
 
At December 31, 2016, we employed 43 full-time and part-time employees. None of our employees are represented by a union.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
 
Before deciding to purchase, hold or sell our common stock, you should carefully consider the risks described below in addition to the other cautionary statements and risks described elsewhere and the other information contained in this report and in our other filings with the SEC, including subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K. We operate in a highly competitive environment that involves a number of risks. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our business. These known and unknown risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results or liquidity, which could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline.
 
We may not have sufficient capital or available cash to continue as a going concern.
 
Our revenues during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 and to date in 2017 have been insufficient to attain profitable operations and to provide adequate levels of cash flow from operations. We have experienced recurring net losses from operations, which have caused an accumulated deficit of $22,027,626 at December 31, 2016. We had a working capital deficit of approximately $1,600,000 at December 31, 2016 compared to a working capital deficit of approximately $1,430,000 at December 31, 2015. Our ability to continue as a going concern will depend upon our ability to increase our revenues in the near term to attain profitable operations and to generate sufficient cash flow from operations. Should an increase in revenues not materialize, we will seek to further reduce operating costs to bring them in line with reduced revenue levels. Should we be unable to achieve near-term profitability and generate sufficient cash flow from operations, and if we are unable to sufficiently reduce operating costs, we would need to raise additional capital or increase our borrowings, or we would go out of business. No assurances can be given that operating costs can be sufficiently reduced, or if required, that additional capital or borrowings would be available to allow us to continue as a going concern.  If we are unable to continue as a going concern, our shareholders will likely lose all of their investment in the Company. The audit report relating to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the years ended December 31, 2016 contains an explanatory paragraph regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. At March 24, 2017, the outstanding balance on our revolving loan facility with CB was approximately $27,000 and our cash balances were approximately $148,000.

We have suffered material operating losses and have a significant working capital deficit.
 
We incurred net losses of $220,729 and $488,994 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. As of December 31, 2016, we had $53,011 cash on hand, a working capital deficit of $1,599,535, an accumulated deficit of $22,027,626, and a total shareholders’ deficit of $5,747,406. You should consider, among other factors, our prospects for success in light of the risks and uncertainties encountered by companies that, like us, have not generated net earnings on an annual basis. Various factors, such as economic conditions, regulatory and legislative considerations, and competition, have and may continue to impede our ability to generate earnings. We may not successfully address these risks and uncertainties or successfully implement our operating and acquisition strategies. If we fail to do so, we will likely go out of business. Even if we accomplish these objectives, we may not generate positive cash flows or profits.
 
We have not been able to secure a revolving line of credit agreement sufficient to meet our working capital needs.
 
On April 16, 2015, the Company entered into a revolving loan agreement with CB, pursuant to which the Company initially borrowed $17,000 from CB.  At their sole discretion, CB can increase the maximum availability under the revolving loan agreement above the $17,000 amount established upon the execution of the revolving loan agreement.  Effective April 18, 2016, CB increased our borrowing limit to $33,200.  At March 24, 2017, the outstanding balance on our revolving loan facility with CB was approximately $27,000 and our cash balances were approximately $148,000.
 
Adverse economic conditions may adversely affect our industry, business and results of operations, our ability to obtain additional financing, and the market price of our common stock.
 
Adverse economic conditions both nationally and locally like we experienced recently during the Great Recession could negatively affect our business, operating results, or financial condition in a number of ways. For example, current or potential customers, such as automotive dealerships, may delay or decrease spending with us or may not pay us or may delay paying us for previously provided services. In addition, if consumer spending decreased, it could result in fewer sales of used automobiles that are subject to emissions testing and safety inspections. If we experience future adverse economic conditions nationally as well as in our local markets and our operating results do not improve significantly and our cash flow or capital resources prove inadequate, we will face even greater liquidity problems that would materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
 
Our inability to pay landlords and vendors within normal trade payment terms could adversely impact our operations.
 
Our revenues during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, as well as to date in 2017, have been insufficient to attain profitable operations and to provide adequate levels of cash flow from operations. Due to insufficient cash flow from operations and borrowing limitations under our line of credit facility, we have been extending landlords and vendors beyond normal payment terms. Until such vendors are paid within normal payment terms, no assurances can be given that required services and materials needed to support our operations will continue to be provided. In addition, no assurances can be given that vendors will not pursue legal means to collect past due balances owed. Any interruption of services or materials would likely have an adverse impact on our operations.
 
To satisfy obligations to certain landlords and vendors, we have entered into a Section 3(a)(10) agreement with a third party, which required us to issue a significant number of shares of our common stock resulting in a significant dilution of ownership for current and future shareholders.

On December 13, 2013 and on January 10, 2014, the Circuit Court in the Twelfth Judicial Circuit in and for Sarasota County, Florida (the “Court”), entered an Order Granting Approval of Settlement Agreement (the “Order”) approving, among other things, the fairness of the terms and conditions of an exchange pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act, in accordance with a Settlement Agreement between the Company and IBC, in the matter entitled IBC Funds, LLC, vs. SpeedEmissions, Inc., Case Nos. 2013 CA 008762 NC and 2014 CA 000153 (the “Actions”). IBC commenced the Actions against us to recover an aggregate of $205,643 of past-due accounts payable, which IBC had purchased from certain of our vendors pursuant to the terms of separate claim purchase agreements between IBC and each of the respective vendors (the “Assigned Accounts), plus fees and costs (the “Claim”). The Assigned Accounts relate to certain research, technical, development and legal services. The Order provides for the full and final settlement of the Claim and the Action. The Settlement Agreement became effective and binding on December 13, 2013 and January 10, 2014.
 
11

 
The Settlement Agreement provides that in no event shall the number of shares of common stock issued by the Company to IBC or its designee in connection with the Settlement Agreement, when aggregated with all other shares of common stock then beneficially owned by IBC and its affiliates (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder), result in the beneficial ownership by IBC and its affiliates (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder) at any time of more than 9.99% of the common stock of the Company.  Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company issued 59,098,059 of its common shares to IBC during the year ended December 31, 2014, in full satisfaction of all amounts due IBC under the Settlement Agreement.
 
Furthermore, the Settlement Agreement provides that, for so long as IBC or any of its affiliates hold any shares of common stock of the Company, the Company and its affiliates are prohibited from, among other things, voting any securities of the Company in favor of: (1) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (2) a sale or transfer of a material amount of the Company’s assets or its subsidiaries’ assets, (3) any material change in the Company’s present capitalization or dividend policy, (4) any other material change in the Company’s business or corporate structure, (5) a change in the Company’s charter, bylaws, or instruments corresponding thereto (6) causing a class of the Company’s securities to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association, (7) causing a class of the Company’s equity securities to become eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act, (8) terminating the Company’s transfer agent, (9) taking any action which would impede the purposes and objects of the Settlement Agreement or (10) taking any action, intention, plan or arrangement similar to any of those enumerated above. These prohibitions may not be modified or waived without further order of the Court.  As of December 31, 2016, neither IBC nor any of its affiliates held any shares of common stock of the Company.
 
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 the same shareholder upon conversion of preferred stock.
 
Our largest shareholder, GCA Strategic Investment Fund Limited (“GCA”), and its affiliates, own 17,860,918 shares, or approximately 15.09%, of our common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2016. Upon conversion of their Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, GCA and its affiliates could own up to 22,138,416 shares of our common stock, which would represent 18.05% of our outstanding shares of common stock on a pro forma basis as of December 31, 2016. If the shareholder sold a large number of shares of our common stock into the public market, it could have a negative impact on our stock price. In addition, as a result of the shareholder’s ownership in the Company, the shareholder is able to exercise significant influence on our business including influence over election of our Board of Directors and the authorization of other corporate actions requiring shareholder approval. In deciding on how to vote on certain proposals, our shareholders should be aware that GCA and its affiliates may have interests that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of our other shareholders.
 
There are a large number of shares of preferred stock which if converted will result in substantial dilution of the current common shareholders’ interests.
 
As of March 24, 2017, there were 118,364,225 shares of common stock outstanding. If all preferred stock is converted to common stock, there will be 122,641,723 shares of common stock outstanding. As a result, a shareholder’s proportionate interest in the Company will be substantially diluted.
 
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 acquires beneficial ownership of 33 1/3% or more of the outstanding shares of common stock without the prior written consent of GCA, we could be required to redeem the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock issued to GCA 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 our common stock.
 
There is an extremely limited market for our common stock.
 
There is an extremely limited trading market for our common stock. Although our common stock is quoted on the OTC Pink marketplace, there are very few trades of our shares. Currently, there are no consistent 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 Pink marketplace are not required to maintain a continuous two-sided market, are required to honor firm quotations for only a limited number of shares, and are free to withdraw firm quotations at any time. Even with a market maker, factors such as our losses from operations for each of the past three years, the 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 it is unlikely that an active and liquid market for our common stock will develop 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.
 
12

 
Because we are subject to the “penny stock” rules, the level of trading activity in our common stock may be reduced.
 
As noted above, our common stock is quoted on the OTC Pink marketplace. Broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks” are regulated by certain penny stock rules adopted by the SEC. 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 The NASDAQ Stock Market. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, broker-dealers who sell these securities to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors” must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. Consequently, these requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity, if any, in the secondary market for a security subject to the penny stock rules, and investors in our common stock may find it difficult to sell their shares.
 
We do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock.
 
We have never declared or paid any cash dividend on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain any future earnings and do not expect to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future.
 
We may issue additional shares of common or preferred stock, which may dilute the interests of our shareholders and may adversely impact the market price of our common stock.
 
We are currently authorized to issue up to 250,000,000 shares of common stock, of which 118,364,225 shares are outstanding as of December 31, 2016, and up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, of which 5,133 shares are outstanding as of December 31, 2016. We may need to raise additional capital in the future by issuing additional shares of common and/or preferred stock. If we determine, for any reason, that we need to raise capital, our Board of Directors generally has the authority, without action by or vote of the shareholders, to issue all or part of any authorized but unissued shares of stock for any corporate purpose, including issuance of equity-based incentives under or outside of our equity compensation plans. Additionally, we are not restricted from issuing additional common stock or preferred stock, including any securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, common stock or preferred stock or any substantially similar securities.  Any issuance of additional shares of common stock or preferred stock will dilute the percentage ownership interest of our shareholders and may dilute the book value per share of our common stock.
 
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 and vehicle safety. At this time, Georgia, Missouri and Utah laws are especially important to us because all of our existing emissions testing and safety inspection services are conducted in those states. Changes in federal, state or local 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, the Utah State Legislature passed an amended version of Utah House Bill 298, titled Motor Vehicle Safety Inspection Amendments on March 9, 2012. Signed by the Governor, the final bill amends Utah’s existing auto safety inspection law and became effective on January 1, 2013. The new bill requires vehicle safety inspections on vehicles which are four, eight and 10 years old, and then annually for the rest of the vehicle’s life, rather than  on odd/even model years for vehicles less than eight years old and annually for all other vehicles under the former law. Vehicle emissions testing laws in Utah were not impacted by Utah House Bill 298. This change will reduce the number of vehicles required to be tested in any given year. 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 centralized system whereby the state, as opposed to private operators, performs vehicle emissions testing. The legislatures in the states in which we operate routinely have bills sponsored which would reduce or eliminate the need for our services in these states. No assurances can be made that changes in federal or state law would not have a materially adverse effect on the vehicle emissions testing and safety inspection industry generally or, specifically, on our business.

Because the emissions testing and safety inspection industry is highly competitive, we may lose customers and revenues to our competitors.
 
Our testing stations face competition from other emissions testing and safety inspection 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. We expect such competition whenever and wherever we open or acquire a station. Our revenue from emissions testing and safety inspections 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 $15.00 to test a vehicle rather than the $25.00 maximum allowed under Georgia law. As a result, we have reduced our fees in several of our Atlanta stations. Although we believe our stations are well positioned to compete, we cannot assure you that our stations will maintain, or increase, their current testing volumes and revenues. A decrease in testing volume or a further decline of the test fee 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.
 
We may be unable to generate adequate revenue from our new iPhone application, Carbonga, to cover our development expenses or our sales and marketing expenditures spent to promote Carbonga.
 
We may be unable to attract enough consumers to cover our development expenses or our sales and marketing expenses to promote our iPhone application, Carbonga. Our profitability could be adversely affected if we are unable to attract and retain paying customers for Carbonga to cover our ongoing expenses related to Carbonga.
 
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, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. We believe that the loss of Mr. Parlontieri’s services would have a materially adverse effect on us. In this regard, we note that we have entered into a rolling three-year employment agreement with Mr. Parlontieri. We maintain key-man life insurance on Mr. Parlontieri. We may not be able to attract, or retain, competent, qualified and experienced individuals to direct and manage our business due to our limited resources. The absence of skilled persons within our company will have a materially adverse effect on us and the value of our common stock.
 
Our operating results may fluctuate, which makes our results difficult to predict and could cause our results to fall short of expectations, which could result in substantial losses for investors.
 
Our operating results may fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control. As a result, comparing our operating results on a period-to-period basis may not be meaningful, and you should not rely on our past results as an indication of our future performance. Our quarterly, year-to-date, and annual expenses as a percentage of our revenues may differ significantly from our historical or projected rates. Our operating results in future quarters may fall below expectations. Any of these events could cause our stock price to fall. Each of the risk factors listed in Item 1A and the following factors may affect our operating results:
 
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;
 
Regulatory changes affecting the price we are allowed to charge or the fees required to be remitted to the state for emissions and safety services;
 
Reduced commercial or consumer spending due to the current economic slowdown in the United States;
 
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.

Our business is affected by the seasonal nature of vehicle registrations.
 
Our business is affected by the seasonal nature of vehicle registrations in Missouri and Utah. Vehicle registrations and related emissions testing and safety inspections in these states are generally required annually based on the month in which the vehicle is purchased. Historically, this has resulted in lower registrations and emissions and safety test volumes during the winter months, our first and fourth quarters. Prior quarterly results are not indicative of our first or fourth quarter results.
 
Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could have a material adverse effect on our business and stock price
 
We are required to document and test our internal control procedures in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which requires annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. Testing and maintaining internal control can divert our management’s attention from other matters that are important to our business. We expect to incur increased expense and to devote additional management resources to Section 404 compliance. We may not be able to conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404. If we conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is not effective, we cannot be certain as to the timing of completion of our evaluation, testing and remediation actions or their effect on our operations since there is presently no precedent available by which to measure compliance adequacy. If we are unable to conclude that we have effective internal control over financial reporting then investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our stock.
 
We rely extensively on computer systems to process transactions, summarize results and manage our business. Disruptions in these systems could harm our ability to run our business.
 
 Given the number of individual transactions we process each year, it is critical that we maintain uninterrupted operation of our computer and communications hardware and software systems. Our systems could be subject to damage or interruption from power outages, computer and telecommunications failures, computer viruses, security breaches by hackers, including breaches of our transaction processing or other systems that result in the compromise of confidential customer data, catastrophic events such as fires, tornadoes and hurricanes, and usage errors by our employees. If our systems are breached, damaged or cease to function properly, we may have to make a significant investment to fix or replace them, we may suffer interruptions in our operations in the interim, we may face costly litigation, and our reputation with our customers may be harmed. Any material interruption in our computer operations may have a material adverse effect on our business or results of operations. The risk of disruption is increased in periods where complex and significant systems changes are undertaken.
 
If we fail to protect the security of personal information about our customers, we could be subject to costly government enforcement actions or private litigation, and our reputation could suffer.
 
The nature of our business involves the receipt and storage of personal information about our customers. If we experience a data security breach, we could be exposed to government enforcement actions and private litigation. In addition, our customers could lose confidence in our ability to protect their personal information, which could cause them to discontinue usage of our services. The loss of confidence from a data security breach involving employees could hurt our reputation.

Corporate Office
 
We rent our general corporate offices located at 1015 Tyrone Road, Suite 710, Tyrone, Georgia, which consists of approximately 2,000 square feet of office space with a term that expires on October 31, 2017.
 
Testing Facilities
 
We lease the land and buildings we use in our emissions testing and safety inspection stations in Atlanta, St. Louis and Salt Lake City. All of our facilities are believed to be in adequate condition for their intended purposes and adequately covered by property insurance. On March 10, 2017 we closed our Salt Lake City, Utah, station under a lease termination agreement with the landlord.  As compensation for the early termination of the station’s lease, the Company received a cash payment of $250,000 on March 20, 2017.The following table shows the store locations for our 22 stores as of December 31, 2016:

Item 3. 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. In the opinion of management, we are not currently involved in any legal proceedings which would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Market Information
 
Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Pink marketplace under the symbol “SPMI”. Although our common stock is quoted on the OTC Pink marketplace, 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 tables set forth, for the periods indicated, the high and low bids of our common stock. 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 SEC 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.

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans
 
At our 2005 annual meeting, the shareholders approved the 2005 Omnibus Stock Grant and Option Plan (the “2005 Plan”), effective September 1, 2005. The 2005 Plan authorizes us to issue options for up to 250,000 shares of our common stock. For purposes of the 2005 Plan, each year of the plan commences on September 1. On September 1 of each new plan year, the number of shares available for issuance in the 2005 Plan was automatically adjusted to an amount equal to 10% of outstanding shares of common stock on August 31 of the immediately preceding plan year. On August 26, 2008, we amended and restated the 2005 Plan (“2005 Restated Plan”) to terminate this annual automatic adjustment provision. As a result of the previous automatic adjustments, there are 303,498 options available for issuance under the 2005 Restated Plan as of December 31, 2015. As of December 31, 2016, we have no issued and outstanding options under the 2005 Restated Plan.
 
At our 2006 annual meeting, the shareholders approved and adopted the 2006 Stock Grant and Option Plan (the “2006 Plan”), effective September 18, 2006. We may issue options for up to 2,000,000 shares of our common stock under the 2006 Plan. As of December 31, 2016, we have 6,000 options issued and outstanding under the 2006 Plan at an exercise price of $0.50 per share.
 
At our 2008 annual meeting, the shareholders approved and adopted the 2008 Stock Grant and Option Plan (the “2008 Plan”), effective May 19, 2008. We may issue options for up to 5,000,000 shares of our common stock under the 2008 Plan. As of December 31, 2016 we have no issued and outstanding options under the 2008 Plan.

 Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
Disclaimer Regarding Forward Looking Statements
 
Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains not only statements that are historical facts, but also statements that are forward-looking (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. The words “may,” “would,” “should,” “will,” “assume,” “believe,” “plan,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “could,” “estimate,” “predict,” “goals,” “continue,” “project,” and similar expressions or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology are meant to identify such forward-looking statements. 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 SEC, including those set forth under “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K as well as subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.
 
17

 
Although the forward-looking statements in this Annual Report reflect the good faith judgment of our management, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known by them. Consequently, and because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, the actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in the forward-looking statements. You are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report and in our other reports as we attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations and prospects.
 
Current Financial Position and Liquidity
 
Our revenues during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 and to date in 2017 have been insufficient to attain profitable operations and to provide adequate levels of cash flow from operations. We have experienced recurring net losses from operations, which have caused an accumulated deficit of $22,027,626 at December 31, 2016. We had a working capital deficit of approximately $1,600,000 at December 31, 2016 compared to a working capital deficit of approximately $1,430,000 at December 31, 2015. Our near-term liquidity and ability to remain in business is dependent on our ability to generate sufficient revenues from our store operations to provide sufficient cash flow from operations to pay our current level of operating expenses, to provide for inventory purchases and to reduce past due amounts owed to vendors and service providers. No assurances can be given that the Company will be able to achieve sufficient levels of revenues in the near-term to provide adequate levels of cash flow from operations. Should an increase in revenues not materialize, we will seek to further reduce operating costs to bring them in line with reduced revenue levels. Should we be unable to achieve near-term profitability and generate sufficient cash flow from operations, and if we are unable to sufficiently reduce operating costs, we would need to raise additional capital or increase our borrowings, or we would go out of business. We currently have very limited access to capital, including the public and private placement of equity securities and additional debt financing. No assurances can be given that additional capital or borrowings would be available to allow us to continue as a going concern. (See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).
 
On May 29, 2014, the Company entered into a promissory note agreement with Thomas Chorba, pursuant to which Thomas Chorba loaned the Company $50,000 for working capital purposes. Under the terms of the promissory note, the Company agreed to repay the loan, plus interest, for a total amount of $56,000 by December 31, 2015.  The note was paid in full in December 2015 and, as a result, there was no outstanding balance as of December 31, 2015.
 
On May 30, 2014, the Company entered into a repayment agreement (the “Repayment Agreement”) with TVT Capital, LLC (“TVT”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to repay TVT $75,000 from a loan made by TVT to the Company, plus a fixed fee which the Company recorded as interest expense, for a total amount of $112,425 by October 27, 2014.  On September 16, 2014, the Company re-negotiated its Repayment Agreement with TVT to obtain additional funding totaling $67,077.  Under the terms of the amended Repayment Agreement, the Company agreed to repay the remaining balance from the June 3, 2014 funding, plus the current funding, for a total of $100,000, plus a fixed fee which the Company recorded as interest expense, representing a total amount of $149,000 by April 16, 2015.  The Company repaid the remaining balance on May 1, 2015 and, as a result, there was no outstanding balance as of December 31, 2015.

On November 5, 2014, the Company entered into a promissory note agreement with Dianna Parlontieri, wife of the Company’s President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, pursuant to which Mrs. Parlontieri loaned the Company $20,000 for working capital purposes. Under the terms of the promissory note, the Company agreed to repay the loan, plus interest, for a total amount of $20,400 by December 15, 2014.  Because the Company did not repay the loan in full by December 15, 2014, the Company is required to repay $1,700 on the 15th of each month, which began on December 15, 2014, until the loan is re-paid in full.  If any of the monthly payments are not paid on the respective due date then the monthly payment amount is subject to a default interest rate of 10% per annum.  The Company is currently in default of the terms of this promissory note as it did not make the required repayment on December 15, 2014 and has not made any of the required monthly payments as of the date of this report.  The note had a balance due of $20,000 as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.
 
On November 18, 2014, the Company entered into a revenue based Factoring Agreement with SP pursuant to which the Company agreed to repay SP $35,000 from a loan made by SP to the Company, plus a fixed fee which the Company recorded as interest expense, for a total repayment amount of $43,750 by February 9, 2015.  The Company repaid the remaining balance on January 22, 2015 and, as a result, there was no outstanding balance of December 31, 2015.

On March 20, 2017, we purchased certain assets of Auto Recycling of Montgomery, Inc. (“ARM”) which are located in Montgomery, Alabama.  The assets included land, buildings, equipment and inventory previously used in an auto recycling operation which ceased operations in June of 2014.  The purchase price was $175,000 for the land and buildings and $90,000 for the equipment and inventory.  In payment for the assets the Company entered into two separate note agreements. Terms of each note included an interest rate of ten percent and an amortization term of ten years with a seven year balloon payment.  Monthly payments for the $175,000 land and buildings note and for the $90,000 equipment and inventory note are $2,313and $1,189, respectively.  The Company intends to create an auto salvage business operation, but expects it will take approximately 60 days to hire employees and put the necessary business systems in place before sales operations can commence.

As of December 31, 2016 we operated 22 vehicle emissions testing and safety inspection stations and three mobile units in three separate markets, Atlanta, Georgia; St. Louis, Missouri; and Salt Lake City, Utah.  On March 10, 2017 we closed our Salt Lake City, Utah, station under a lease termination agreement with the landlord, reducing the number of open stores to 21.  As compensation for the early termination of the station’s lease, the Company received a cash payment of $250,000 on March 20, 2017.
 
 We perform vehicle emissions testing and safety inspections in certain cities in which vehicle emissions testing is mandated by the EPA. We use computerized emissions testing and safety inspections equipment that test vehicles for compliance with vehicle emissions and safety standards as determined by each state. 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 remitted to the state governing agency.

Revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2016, revenue increased $173,434 or 5.3% to $3,439,456 compared to $3,266,022 in the prior year. The $173,434 increase in revenue was due to an increase in same store revenue of $175,695 or 5.4% during the year ended December 31, 2016, slightly reduced by a $2,261 decrease in closed store revenue.  The increase in same store revenue was due to pricing increases in certain Georgia stores and increased emission tests performed during the year ended December 31, 2016.
 
Cost of emission certificates. Cost of emission certificates increased $16,281 or 2.7% to $612,311 in the year ended December 31, 2016 and was 17.8% of revenue, compared to $596,030 and 18.2% of revenue during 2015. The $16,281 increase was a direct result of increased emission tests performed during the year ended December 31, 2016.
 

Store operating expenses. Our store operating expenses decreased $77,369 or 3.6% to $2,091,408 for the year ended December 31, 2016 and was 60.8% of revenue, compared to $2,168,777 or 66.4% of revenue during 2015. The $77,369 decrease in store operating expenses was primarily due to declines in open store wages, depreciation expense and rent expense of $23,323, $19,289 and $18,341, respectively, less an increase of $16,796 in insurance expense, plus an additional decrease of $40,298 in aggregate closed store operating expenses. 

General and administrative expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2016, our general and administrative expenses decreased $59,728 or 7.6% to $723,483 from $783,211 in 2015. The decrease in general and administrative expenses during the year ended December 31, 2016 was primarily due to a decrease $65,246 in legal and accounting fees, $46,609 of income resulting from vendor debt settlements and a $24,725 reversal of over-accrued property taxes from prior years.  These decreases were partially offset by $55,534 of increased penalty expense resulting from the non-payment of federal payroll taxes and an increase of $12,481 in finance charges resulting from debt re-financing.

Loss/Gain from disposal of non-strategic assets. For the year ended December 31, 2016, we recognized a gain of $2,518 from the disposal of non-strategic assets, compared to a loss of $286 from the disposal of non-strategic assets in the year ended December 31, 2015.
 
Goodwill impairment expense. We determined that goodwill was not impaired as of December 31, 2016 or December 31, 2015.

Operating results. Our operating income increased by $297,054 during the year ended December 31, 2016 to $14,772 compared to an operating loss of $282,282 during the year ended December 31, 2015. The increase in our operating profit was primarily due to the increase in revenues coupled with declines in store operating expenses and general and administrative expenses.
 
Interest income, interest expense and net loss and basic and diluted loss per share. Our interest income, interest expense, net loss and basic and diluted loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2016, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2015, were as follows:

The Company incurred net interest expense of $235,501 and $206,712 during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.  The increase of $28,789 in net interest expense during the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 compared to 2015 was primarily the result interest acceleration costs resulting from early payoffs of certain SP revenue-based factoring agreement in the twelve months ended December 31, 2016.
 
Net loss and basic and diluted net loss per share. Our net loss decreased by $268,265 from $488,994 in 2015 to $220,729 in 2016. Our basic and diluted net loss per share in the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $0.00 and $0.00, respectively.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Introduction
 
Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $220,729 or ($0.00) per share, compared to a net loss of $488,994 or ($0.00) per share for the year ended December 31, 2015. Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2016 increased $173,434, or 5.3%, to $3,439,456 from $3,266,022 in the year ended December 31, 2015. As of December 31, 2016, we had cash on hand of $53,011, a working capital deficit of $1,599,535, an accumulated deficit of $22,027,626 and total shareholders’ deficit of $5,747,406.
 
 Due to the Company’s financial position, it has been unable to secure a revolving credit agreement sufficient to meet its working capital needs and must rely primarily on cash flow from operations to fund working capital needs.  We do not believe that our existing cash and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to support our operating and investing needs for at least the next twelve months. Our near term liquidity and ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to generate sufficient revenues from our store operations to provide sufficient cash flow from operations to pay our current level of operating expenses, to provide for inventory purchases and to reduce past due amounts owed to vendors and service providers. No assurances may be given that the Company will be able to achieve sufficient levels of revenues in the near term to provide adequate levels of cash flow from operations. If the Company is unable to achieve near term profitability and generate sufficient cash flow from operations, we would need to raise additional capital or obtain new financing. We currently have very limited access to capital, including the public and private placement of equity securities and additional debt financing. There is no assurance that such capital or financing would be available or, if available, that we would be able to complete a capital raise or financing on satisfactory terms.

On April 16, 2015, the Company entered into a revolving loan agreement with CB, pursuant to which the Company initially borrowed $17,000 from CB.  Under the terms of the revolving loan agreement, the Company agreed to repay the initial loan, plus interest, for a total amount of $18,955 by October 15, 2015.  At their sole discretion, CB can increase the maximum availability under the revolving loan agreement above the $17,000 amount established upon the execution of the revolving loan agreement and, effective April 18, 2016, CB increased our borrowing limit to $33,200.  At March 24, 2017, the outstanding balance on our revolving loan facility with CB was approximately $27,000 and our cash balances were approximately $148,000.
 
During 2014, we sold the assets comprising six of our Houston, Texas stores for a combined amount of $220,000, consisting of $152,500 in cash and a note receivable for $67,500.  The principal amount of the note is payable in equal monthly payments over a 12-month period with no interest.  This note was paid in full during the year ended December 31, 2015.

On December 5, 2014, we sold the assets comprising five of our Salt Lake City, Utah stores for $1,350,000 in cash.  After accounting for the sale of these five emissions testing centers, closing a Georgia store in January 2015and closing our only Utah store in March 2017, we now operate, as of March 24, 2017, 21 emission testing centers in Atlanta, Georgia and St. Louis, Missouri metropolitan areas, plus three mobile testing units in the Atlanta, Georgia area.
 
Our cash, current assets, total assets, current liabilities, total liabilities, Series A convertible preferred stock and total shareholders’ equity as of December 31, 2016 as compared to December 31, 2015 were as follows:

For the year ended December 31, 2016, our net cash used in operating activities was $193,429, as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $82,682 for the year ended December 31, 2015. Negative operating cash flows during 2016 were primarily created by a $220,729 operating loss, a decrease of $16,466 in accounts payable and accrued expenses and an increase in other current assets of $15,637, partially offset by depreciation and amortization of $51,921.
 
Negative operating cash flows during 2015 were primarily created by a $488,994 operating loss partially offset by a $279,132 increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, depreciation and amortization of $73,311 and a $49,550 decrease in other current assets.
 
 Inflation has not had an abnormal or unanticipated effect on our operations. Our cost of emission certificates does not fluctuate from year to year as the fee we pay to the state or local government agency remains constant over the state’s contract period with the administrator, which is usually five to seven years.
 
As of December 31, 2016, we had a shareholders’ deficit of $5,747,406 compared to shareholders’ deficit of $5,535,127 at December 31, 2015. The shareholders’ deficit mainly resulted from our history of net operating losses.
 
Sources and Uses of Cash

Net cash provided by investing activities was $51,995 for the year ended December 31, 2016. The net cash provided by investing activities during 2016 was primarily the result of $57,207 in proceeds from notes receivable partially offset by $7,730 used to purchase property and equipment.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $31,392 for the year ended December 31, 2015. The net cash provided by investing activities during 2015 was primarily the result of $43,967 in proceeds from notes receivable partially offset by $16,075 used to purchase property and equipment.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $194,445 for the year ended December 31, 2016, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $29,561 for the year ended December 31, 2015.  Net cash provided by financing activities during 2016 consisted of net proceeds of $221,995 from notes payable partially offset by principal payments of $27,326 on capital leases.
 
Net cash provided by financing activities during 2015 consisted of net proceeds of $36,487 from notes payable plus net proceeds of $26,592 from our line of credit partially offset by principal payments of $23,226 and $10,292 on capital leases and equipment financing obligations, 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 its Board of Directors, the Company has identified the following critical accounting policies that require management’s most difficult, subjective judgments:
 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill  The Company reviews long-lived assets such as property, plant and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. If the total of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying value of the assets, an impairment loss is recognized for the excess of the carrying value over the fair value of the long-lived assets.
 
Goodwill is tested for impairment quarterly or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. We utilize a discounted cash flow analysis to determine a reporting unit’s fair value. The methodology used in estimating discounted cash flows is inherently complex and involves significant management assumptions, including expected revenue growth and increases in expenses, to determine an appropriate discount rate and cash flows. Using discount rates for each reporting unit that were determined based on available market data and estimating cash flows for each reporting unit, our goodwill was not impaired during 2016 or as of December 31, 2016. Estimated cash flows extend into the future and, by their nature, are difficult to determine over an extended timeframe. Factors that have and may significantly affect the estimates, and ultimately their carrying amount in our financials, include, among others, competitive forces, customer behaviors and attrition, changes in revenue growth trends, cost structures and technology, government regulation and changes in discount rates or market sector conditions. Significant changes in these assumptions could affect the Company’s need to record an impairment charge.
 
Deferred Tax Asset Valuation Allowance – Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, net operating loss carry-forwards and tax credit carry-forwards, if it is more likely than not that the tax benefits will be realized. Realization of our deferred tax assets is dependent upon generating sufficient future taxable income prior to the expiration of the loss and tax credit carry-forwards. The valuation allowance increased $65,000 in the year ended December 31, 2016. At December 31, 2016 and at December 31, 2015, net deferred tax assets of $7,007,000 and $6,942,000, respectively, were fully reserved by a valuation allowance.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
 
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
SpeedEmissions, Inc. and Subsidiaries
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of SpeedEmissions, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ deficit and cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated 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 audit 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 consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides 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 2016 and 2015, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a capital deficiency that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated 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
December 31, 2016 and 2015

Note 1. Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue as a going concern.

Speedemissions, Inc. (“Speedemissions” or the “Company”) has experienced recurring net losses which have caused an accumulated deficit of $22,027,626 at December 31, 2016. We had a working capital deficit of $1,599,535 at December 31, 2016 compared to a working capital deficit of $1,429,910 at December 31, 2015.

Our revenues for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, as well as revenues for 2017 to date, were below our expectations and internal forecasts primarily as a result of fewer vehicle emissions tests and safety inspections being performed at our stores.

Our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2016 and to date during 2017 have been insufficient to attain profitable operations and to provide adequate levels of cash flow from operations. Our near term liquidity and ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to generate sufficient revenues from our store operations to provide sufficient cash flow from operations to pay our current level of operating expenses, to provide for inventory purchases and to reduce past due amounts owed to vendors and service providers. No assurances may be given that the Company will be able to achieve sufficient levels of revenues in the near term to provide adequate levels of cash flow from operations. Should an increase in revenues not materialize, we will seek to further reduce operating costs to bring them in line with reduced revenue levels. If the Company is unable to achieve near term profitability and generate sufficient cash flow from operations, and if the Company is unable to sufficiently reduce operating costs, we would need to raise additional capital or obtain additional borrowings. We currently have very limited access to capital, including the public and private placement of equity securities and additional debt financing. No assurances can be given that additional capital or borrowings would be available to allow us to continue as a going concern. As a result of the Company’s history of losses and financial condition, there is substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

On April 16, 2015, the Company entered into a revolving loan agreement with CB, pursuant to which the Company initially borrowed $17,000 from CB.  Under the terms of the revolving loan agreement, the Company agreed to repay the initial loan, plus interest, for a total amount of $18,955 by October 15, 2015.  The Company made the required six monthly payments, as required, by the October 15, 2015 due date.  As the Company repays the initial loan, it can and has borrowed new funds which created new six-month payment cycles on the previously outstanding principal plus the new funds borrowed.  At their sole discretion, CB can increase the maximum availability under the revolving loan agreement above the $17,000 amount established upon the execution of the revolving loan agreement.  Effective April 18, 2016, CB increased our borrowing limit to $33,200.  At March 24, 2017, the outstanding balance on our revolving loan facility with CB was approximately $27,000 and our cash balances were approximately $148,000.

During the prior several years, we made reductions in employee headcount, the number of stores, same store operating expenses, corporate overhead and other operating expenses. At December 31, 2016, our primary source of liquidity for cash flows was cash received from our store operations. We are dependent on our revenues in the very near term to provide sufficient cash flow from operations to pay our current level of operating expenses, to provide for inventory purchases and to reduce past due amounts owed to landlords, vendors and service providers. No assurances may be given that the cash received from our store operations will be sufficient to cover our ongoing operating expenses. If the cash received from our store operations is not sufficient, we would need to obtain additional credit facilities or raise additional capital to continue as a going concern and to execute our business plan. There is no assurance that such financing or capital would be available or, if available, that we would be able to complete financing or a capital raise on satisfactory terms.

Our revenues during the years ended December 2016 and 2015, as well as to date in 2017, have been insufficient to attain profitable operations and to provide adequate levels of cash flow from operations. During the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, as well as to date in 2017, due to insufficient cash flow from operations and borrowing limitations under our line of credit facility, we have been extending landlords and vendors beyond normal payment terms. Until such vendors are paid within normal payment terms, no assurances can be given that required services and materials needed to support operations will continue to be provided. In addition, no assurances can be given that vendors will not pursue legal means to collect past due balances owed. Any interruption of services or materials would likely have an adverse impact on our operations and could impact our ability to continue as a going concern.

On December 13, 2013 and on January 10, 2014, the Circuit Court in the Twelfth Judicial Circuit in and for Sarasota County, Florida (the “Court”), entered an Order Granting Approval of Settlement Agreement (the “Order”) approving, among other things, the fairness of the terms and conditions of an exchange pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), in accordance with a Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) between the Company and IBC Funds, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“IBC”), in the matter entitled IBC Funds, LLC, vs. SpeedEmissions, Inc., Case Nos. 2013 CA 008762 NC and 2014 CA 000153 (the “Actions”). IBC commenced the Actions against us to recover an aggregate of $205,643 of past-due accounts payable, which IBC had purchased from certain of our vendors pursuant to the terms of separate claim purchase agreements between IBC and each of the respective vendors (the “Assigned Accounts), plus fees and costs (the “Claim”). The Assigned Accounts relate to certain research, technical, development and legal services. The Order provides for the full and final settlement of the Claim and the Action. The Settlement Agreement became effective and binding on December 13, 2013 and January 10, 2014, respectively.
 
The Settlement Agreement provides that in no event shall the number of shares of common stock issued by the Company to IBC or its designee in connection with the Settlement Agreement, when aggregated with all other shares of common stock then beneficially owned by IBC and its affiliates (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and the rules and regulations thereunder), result in the beneficial ownership by IBC and its affiliates (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder) at any time of more than 9.99% of the common stock of the Company.

Furthermore, the Settlement Agreement provides that, for so long as IBC or any of its affiliates hold any shares of common stock of the Company, the Company and its affiliates are prohibited from, among other things, voting any securities of the Company in favor of: (1) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (2) a sale or transfer of a material amount of the Company’s assets or its subsidiaries’ assets, (3) any material change in the Company’s present capitalization or dividend policy, (4) any other material change in the Company’s business or corporate structure, (5) a change in the Company’s charter, bylaws, or instruments corresponding thereto (6) causing a class of the Company’s securities to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association, (7) causing a class of the Company’s equity securities to become eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act, (8) terminating the Company’s transfer agent, (9) taking any action which would impede the purposes and objects of the Settlement Agreement or (10) taking any action, intention, plan or arrangement similar to any of those enumerated above. These prohibitions may not be modified or waived without further order of the Court.  As of December 31, 2016, neither IBC nor any of its affiliates held any shares of common stock of the Company meaning that the above described prohibitions on the Company’s ability to take certain actions are not applicable. 

We have been unable to make all required payments to the federal government for payroll taxes withheld from employee paychecks and the associated matching employer payroll taxes from April 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015 and for November and December of 2016. As of December 31, 2016 and March 24, 2017, we owed approximately $332,000, including penalties and interest assessed through December 31, 2016, for the previously described payroll tax obligations to the federal government.  We proposed a payment plan to the federal government and made payments totaling approximately $53,000 from September 30, 2015 through December 31, 2016, but we have not reached an agreed payment schedule for the remainder of our federal payroll tax obligations as of the date of this report. However, we made all federal tax deposits for 2017 payroll periods through March 24, 2017.

Note 2: Nature of Operations

Description of Business

The Company performs vehicle emissions testing and safety inspections in certain cities in which vehicle emissions testing is mandated by the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”). The federal government and a number of state and local governments in the United States mandate vehicle emissions testing as a method of improving air quality. As of December 31, 2016, the Company operated 22 vehicle emissions testing and safety inspection stations under the trade names of Speedemissions and Auto Emissions Express (Atlanta, Georgia and St. Louis, Missouri); and Just Emissions (Salt Lake City, Utah). The Company also operates three mobile testing units in the Atlanta, Georgia area. The Company manages its operations based on these four regions and has one reportable segment.

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

Note 3: Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) as codified in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification.
 
F-7

 
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date of the filing its Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission and determined the following two events required disclosure.

On March 10, 2017 we closed our Salt Lake City, Utah, station under a lease termination agreement with the landlord.  As compensation for the early termination of the station’s lease, the Company received a cash payment of $250,000 on March 20, 2017.

On March 20, 2017, we purchased certain assets of Auto Recycling of Montgomery, Inc. (“ARM”) which is located in Montgomery, Alabama.  The assets included land, buildings, equipment and inventory previously used in an auto recycling operation which ceased operations in June of 2014.  The purchase price was $175,000 for the land and buildings and $90,000 for the equipment and inventory.  In payment for the assets the Company entered into two separate note agreements. Terms of each note included an interest rate of ten percent and an amortization term of ten years with a seven year balloon payment.  Monthly payments for the $175,000 land and buildings note and for the $90,000 equipment and inventory note are $2,313 and $1,189, respectively.  The Company intends to create an auto salvage business operation, but expects it will take approximately 60 days to hire employees and put the necessary business systems in place before sales operations can commence.

Consolidation

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

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates included in these financial statements relate to useful lives of property and equipment, the valuation allowance provided against deferred tax assets and the valuation of long-lived assets and goodwill. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized upon completion of testing services. The cost of emissions certificates is shown separately in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

 The Company normally requires that the customer’s payment be made at the time of service. The Company does not have significant levels of accounts receivable.

Under current Georgia, Missouri, 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 accrual for retest is recorded by the Company.

Inventories

Inventories primarily consist of emissions and safety certificates and merchandise purchased for resale at our stores. Inventory in our stores is stated at the lower of weighted average cost or market.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at original cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, as follows: buildings, 15 years; emission testing equipment, five to seven years; furniture, fixtures and office equipment, three to five years, and vehicles three years.

The cost of repairs and maintenance is charged to maintenance expense as incurred.

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

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Property and Equipment

The Company reviews its assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets 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.
 
F-8

 
Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price paid over the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition of a business. Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment at least annually as well as on an interim basis if an event occurs or circumstances change that could reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value.

Goodwill is tested for impairment quarterly or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. In evaluating the goodwill on our balance sheet for impairment at December 31, 2016, we first assessed qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of our acquired assets is less than the carrying amount of the acquired assets, as allowed under ASU 2011-08, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment. We then utilized a discounted cash flow analysis to determine a reporting unit’s fair value. The methodology used in estimating discounted cash flows is inherently complex and involves significant management assumptions, including expected revenue growth and increases in expenses, to determine an appropriate discount rate and cash flows. Using discount rates for each reporting unit that were determined based on available market data and estimating cash flows for each reporting unit, our goodwill was not impaired during 2016 or as of December 31, 2016. Estimated cash flows extend into the future and, by their nature, are difficult to determine over an extended timeframe. Factors that have and may significantly affect the estimates, and ultimately their carrying amount in our financials, include, among others, competitive forces, customer behaviors and attrition, changes in revenue growth trends, cost structures and technology, government regulation and changes in discount rates or market sector conditions. Significant changes in these assumptions could affect the Company’s need to record additional impairment charges.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense (benefit) is computed utilizing the liability method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and income tax basis of assets and liabilities and for income tax carryforwards given the provisions of the enacted tax laws. A valuation allowance is provided against deferred tax assets for which it is more likely than not that the asset will not be realized.

General and Administrative

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

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of cash, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value because of the short-term nature of these accounts. Fair value of the equipment financing agreements and capital lease obligations approximate carrying value based upon current borrowing rates. The fair value of the Company’s note receivable and note payable also approximates the carrying value because outstanding balances can be repaid at any time.

Net Loss per Common Share

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common shareholders for the period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per common 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. Due to the Company’s net loss, potential dilutive common shares from options and warrants have been excluded from the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding as they are anti-dilutive.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company has several share-based compensation plans under which employees and non-employee directors receive stock options. Additionally the Company has issued shares of its common stock as compensation to employees and payments of services rendered by third parties.  Share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant). Fair value of the award is calculated using the Black-Scholes model or based on the fair value of the shares issued for the services provided, whichever is more accurately determinable.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, a new standard on revenue recognition. The new standard will supersede existing revenue recognition guidance and apply to all entities that enter into contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The guidance also addresses the measurement and recognition of gains and losses on the sale of certain non-financial assets, such as real estate, property and equipment. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Deferral of the Effective Date, which defers the effective date of the guidance in ASU 2014-09 by one year.  This update is now effective for annual and interim period beginning after December 15, 2017, which will require us to adopt these provisions in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. Early application is permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period.  This update permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method.  We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued new authoritative accounting guidance related to the recognition of share-based compensation when an award provides that a performance target can be achieved after the requisite service period.  This guidance may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively and is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015.  Early application is permitted. The adoption of the accounting pronouncement did not have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842, Leases.  In summary, Topic 842 requires organizations that lease assets, referred to as “lessees”, to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases. The amendments in ASU 2016-02 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Therefore, the amendments in ASU 2016-02 will become effective for the Company at the beginning of its 2019 fiscal year. The Company is currently assessing the impact of implementing the new guidance on its financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This update simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classifications in the statement of cash flows.  The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016.  The Company is currently assessing the impact of implementing the new guidance on its financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Receipts and Cash Payments. This update addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice in how certain receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows.  The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017.  The Company is currently assessing the impact of implementing the new guidance on its financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The update removes Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test.  The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, although early adoption is permitted.  The Company is currently assessing the impact of implementing the new guidance on its financial statements.

We have considered all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and do not believe the adoption of such pronouncements will have a material impact on our financial statements.

Note 4: Notes Receivable

On September 14, 2010, the Company settled a lawsuit originally filed in 2006 against a former manager. The Company alleged the manager, while employed by the Company, breached his fiduciary duty by purchasing property in Texas where one of the Company’s testing facilities he managed was located. Under the provisions of the settlement agreement, the Company was to receive a sum of $125,000 payable in monthly installments of $1,000 per month for 72 months. The balance of $53,000 was due and payable to the Company on June 1, 2016. The Company recognized a gain from the legal settlement in the amount of $106,881 during 2010.  On May 6, 2016, in consideration of a payment of $47,000, the Company agreed to cancel the note as paid in full, recording a loss of $6,000.

During 2014, we sold the assets comprising six of our Houston, Texas stores for a combined amount of $220,000, consisting of $152,500 in cash and notes receivable for $67,500.  The principal amount of the note was payable in equal monthly payments over a 12-month period with no interest.  The note was paid in full during the year ended December 31, 2015.
 
F-10

 
During 2015, we sold equipment for $2,000 in cash plus a note receivable of $2,496.  The principal amount of the note was payable in equal monthly payments over a 12-month period with no interest. The note was paid in full in January 2016.

There was no outstanding balance on notes receivable as of December 31, 2016.  The balance of notes receivable was $56,200 as of December 31, 2015.

Note 6: Goodwill

The Company measures the fair value of reporting units using discounted future cash flows based on our forward-looking 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. Each year, the Company re-evaluates the assumptions used to reflect changes in the business environment.

At December 31, 2016 and 2015, we compared the fair value of the individual reporting units for which the goodwill relates to their respective carrying amounts, including goodwill. In the opinion of management, the goodwill valuation of $390,985 was not impaired as of December 31, 2016 or December 31, 2015.

Note 8: Notes Payable

Bridge Note Agreement

On November 11, 2010, the Company entered into a $55,000 bridge note agreement (the “Note”) with an affiliate, GCA Strategic Investment Fund, Limited (“GCA”). The funds received from the Note were used for general working capital purposes. The Note bore 0% interest and was due in full on November 11, 2012.

Note 9: Income Taxes

The Company follows the provisions of FASB accounting guidance on accounting for uncertain income tax positions. Accordingly, assets and liabilities are recognized for a tax position, based solely on its technical merits that is believed to be more likely than not to be fully sustainable upon examination. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, there were no uncertain tax positions. Accrued interest relating to uncertain tax positions would be recorded as a component of interest expense and penalties related to uncertain tax positions would be recorded as a component of general and administrative expenses.

The tax years after 2012 remain open to examination by the taxing jurisdictions to which we are subject. Additionally, upon inclusion of the net operating loss carry forward tax benefits in future tax returns, the related tax benefit for the period in which the benefit arose may be subject to examination.
 
F-13

 
As of December 31, 2016, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $16,734,000 that may be used to offset future taxable income. If not utilized, the net operating loss carry forwards will expire at various dates through 2036.

Differences between the income taxes incurred for 2016 and 2015 and the amount determined by applying the statutory federal income tax rate (34%) to the loss before income taxes were as follows:

Note 10: Net Loss per Common Share

Basic loss per common share (“EPS”) represents net loss divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during a reported period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock, including stock options, warrants, and contingently issuable shares such as the Company’s Series A 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 loss per common share for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively:

As a result of the Company’s net loss for the years’ ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, aggregate Common Stock Equivalents of 378,000 and 431,000, respectively, in each year issuable under stock option plans that were potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive and have been excluded from the computation of weighted average common shares (diluted) for the years’ ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. These Common Stock Equivalents could be dilutive in future periods.
(2)
As a result of the Company’s net loss in the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, aggregate Common Stock Equivalents of 4,277,498 issuable under Series A convertible, redeemable preferred stock that were potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive and have been excluded from the computation of weighted average common shares diluted for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. These Common Stock Equivalents could be dilutive in future periods.

Note 11: Commitments and Contingencies

Operating Leases

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

Certain leases contain scheduled base rent increases over the terms of the leases. The total amount of base rent payments is charged to expense on a straight-line basis over the lease terms. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the excess of rent expense over cash payments was $39,320 and $36,453, respectively. Such amounts are included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as deferred rent.

Future minimum rental payments required under the non-cancelable operating leases were as follows at December 31, 2016:

Capital Leases

The Company’s capital lease commitments relate to emissions testing and other related equipment. The Company records a capital lease asset and obligation equal to the present value of the lease payments.  The Company held $13,950 in equipment under capital lease with accumulated depreciation of $2,491 at December 31, 2016.

 Note 12: Preferred and Common Stock Transactions

Preferred Stock

The Company had 5,133 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Preferred A Stock”) outstanding at December 31, 2016 and 2015. Each share of Preferred A Stock is convertible into 833.33 shares of the Company’s common stock, or 4,277,498 shares of common stock in aggregate. GCA Strategic Investment Fund, Limited (“GCA”) through its individual shareholders held 3,724 shares of Preferred A Stock convertible into 3,103,333 shares of common stock as of December 31, 2016 and 2015. Global Capital Funding Group, LP through its individual shareholders held 1,409 shares of Preferred A Stock convertible into 1,174,166 shares of common stock as of December 31, 2016 and 2015. As of October 14, 2005, pursuant to an article of amendment, the Preferred A Stock ceased to accrue dividends. The Preferred A Stock had a liquidation preference equal to the purchase price of the remaining units of Preferred A Stock, or $5,133,000 at December 31, 2016 and 2015.

The Preferred A Stock contains certain contingent redemption features which could trigger its redemption. Since the contingent redemption features are outside the control of the Company, the fair value assigned to the Preferred A Stock has been classified outside of Shareholders’ Deficit in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The contingent redemption will occur only due to events such as a change of control, which is defined as a person or group of persons other than GCA that acquires a beneficial ownership of 33 1/3% or more of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock without the prior written consent of GCA, a transfer of substantially all of the assets of the Company, a merger, or certain other events. Should one of the contingent redemption instances occur, the Company would be required to redeem the Preferred A 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 Preferred A Stock currently outstanding, if this redemption were triggered, the Company would be required to pay the holders of these shares $5,133,000. The carrying value of the Preferred A Stock at December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $4,579,346. An accretion from the original value assigned to the Preferred A Stock of $4,579,346 has not been made since the contingent redemption features have no mandatory time for redemption and the probability of one of the contingent redemption features occurring cannot be determined.

In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, preferred shareholders are entitled to be paid prior to any preference of any other payment or distribution.

Common Stock

On December 13, 2013, the Company made a partial issuance of 1,250,000 shares of its common stock to IBC pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement whereby IBC assumed financial responsibility for certain of the Company’s trade accounts payable in the amount of $71,644 in exchange for shares of the Company’s common stock.   Of the 1,250,000 shares issued, 500,000 shares were sold by IBC, at a price per share of $0.012, resulting in proceeds of $6,000 to IBC and reducing the Company’s obligation to IBC from $71,644 to $65,644.  The remaining 750,000 shares were issued by the Company as a financing fee to IBC which the Company recognized an in the fourth quarter of 2013.  The Settlement Agreement provides that in no event shall the total number of shares of common stock issued to IBC or its designee in connection with the Settlement Agreement, when aggregated with all other shares of common stock then beneficially owned by IBC and its affiliates (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder), result in the beneficial ownership by IBC and its affiliates (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder) at any time of more than 9.99% of the common stock of the Company.

There were 1,025,000 stock options available to be granted under these plans at December 31, 2016 and 2015. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, options to purchase, respectively, a total of 6,000 and 59,000 had been granted and were outstanding under these four plans. Options to purchase 6,000 and 59,000 common shares were exercisable as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

The Company did not record any share-based compensation expense under above stock incentive plans during the years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

 The Company did not grant stock options in 2016 or 2015. For stock option grants issued prior to 2015, 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 Company’s historical stock price volatility. 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 and forfeitures. The Company does not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future and therefore used an expected dividend yield of 0%. The following table sets forth the options granted under Speedemissions stock option plans as of December 31, 2016 and 2015:

The was no aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and exercisable at December 31, 2016 and 2015 based on the Company’s closing stock price of $0.006 and $0.001, respectively. The was no aggregate intrinsic value of options vesting during 2016 and 2015. Intrinsic value is the amount by which the fair value of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price of the options.

Warrants

The fair value of each common stock warrant issued is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

There were no warrants granted during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.

On June 5, 2013, a total of 600,000 warrants were granted by the Company to National Securities Corporation and its Senior Vice President, Vincent Calicchia, as an inducement to perform preliminary due diligence on a proposed future capital raise for the Company.  Each warrant when exercised converts into one share of the Company’s common stock.  The exercise price of each warrant is $0.010; the warrants fully vested when granted and expire on June 5, 2018.  The closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the warrants’ grant was $0.007 per share.   The fair value of the 600,000 warrants, calculated on the date of grant using Black-Scholes, was negligible and has not been separately accounted for.  On September 26, 2013 and November 25, 2013, the Company issued 180,000 shares and 48,000 shares of its common stock, respectively, to Vincent Calicchia as a result of the exercise of previously granted warrants.

Note 13: Risks and Uncertainties

Regulatory Impact

The current and future demand for the Company’s services is substantially dependent upon federal, state and local 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, results of operations and cash flows.

Arrangement with Shareholders

The Company is required to maintain a majority of independent directors on its Board of Directors and a majority of independent directors on both the Audit Committee and Compensation Committee.

If a person or group of persons other than GCA acquires beneficial ownership of 33 1/3% or more of the outstanding shares of common stock without the prior written consent of GCA, we could be required to redeem the Preferred A 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 Preferred A 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 our common stock.
F-18

 
Potential Control Relationship by Existing Shareholders

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

The Company had 120,438,914 shares of common stock issued and 118,364,225 shares outstanding as of December 31, 2016. As of December 31, 2016, our largest shareholder, GCA, and its affiliates, owned 17,860,918 shares of our common stock. Upon the conversion of their Preferred A Stock, GCA could own up to 22,138,416 shares of our common stock.

Note 14: Significant Fourth Quarter Adjustments

During the fourth quarters of the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, there were no significant adjustments.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures also include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded as of December 31, 2016 that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
 
We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting and make changes to our processes and systems to improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment.  There were no significant changes in the company’s internal control over financial reporting or in other factors identified in connection with this evaluation that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the company’s internal control over financial reporting.
 
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
 
(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
 
(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of our management and directors; and
 
(3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016. In making this assessment, management used the updated framework in the Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or COSO. This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permits us to provide only management’s report in this annual report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded as of December 31, 2016 that our internal control over financial reporting was effective.
