Note 1. Going Concern |
|
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Speedemissions, Inc. 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. References in this report to "Speedemissions," the "Company," "we," "us" and "our" mean Speedemissions, Inc. and our consolidated subsidiaries. |

Speedemissions has experienced recurring net losses which have caused an accumulated deficit of $20,786,344 at March 31, 2014. We had a working capital deficit of $2,102,961 at March 31, 2014 compared to a working capital deficit of $2,059,921 at December 31, 2013. |
|
Our revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 and the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 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 quarter ended March 31, 2014 and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 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 beyond our existing line of credit facility. 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 or, if available, that we would be able to complete a capital raise or financing on satisfactory terms, 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. If the Company is unable to continue as a going concern, our shareholders will likely lose all of their investment in the Company. |

On June 8, 2012, the Company entered into a revolving line of credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with TCA Global Credit Master Fund, LP ("TCA"), pursuant to which TCA agreed to loan the Company up to a maximum of $2,000,000 for working capital purposes. In June 2012, the Company obtained a loan from TCA in the amount of $350,000 to use for working capital purposes and, in October 2012, the Company entered into the First Amendment to Credit Agreement with TCA (the "Amended Credit Agreement") pursuant to which the Company received an additional loan in the amount of $550,000 to use for the purchase of five emissions testing stores owned by Auto Emissions Express, LLC, a Georgia corporation ("AEE"). On October 23, 2013, the Company entered into the Second Amendment to Credit Agreement with TCA (the "Second Amended Credit Agreement"), pursuant to which TCA agreed to increase the revolving loan from $900,000 to $1,300,000 and, in connection therewith, the Company received an additional loan in the amount of $400,000 to finance the acquisition of the remaining seven emission testing centers owned by AEE and to provide working capital (see also Note 9 of the financial statements). While our line of credit facility of $1,300,000 is currently 57% of the maximum limit with an outstanding balance at May 8, 2014 of approximately $746,750, our line of credit matures on December 1, 2014 and we have no assurance it will be extended beyond that date. Therefore, our near term liquidity is dependent on our working capital and primarily on the revenues generated from our store operations. If we are unable to achieve near term profitability and generate sufficient cash flow from operations, and we are unable to sufficiently reduce operating costs, we would need to raise additional capital or obtain additional borrowings beyond this existing line of credit. 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. During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, our line of credit net borrowings decreased $141,775 to the outstanding balance of $797,470 at March 31, 2014 from $939,245 at December 31, 2013. At May 8, 2014, the outstanding balance on the loan facility was approximately $746,750, and our cash balances were approximately $45,900. |

During the prior two years, we made reductions in employee headcount, the number of emission testing stores, same store operating expenses, corporate overhead and other operating expenses. At March 31, 2014, 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 year ended December 2013, as well as the quarter ended March 31, 2014, have been insufficient to attain profitable operations and to provide adequate levels of cash flow from operations. During the year ended December 31, 2013, as well as the quarter ended March 31, 2014, due to insufficient cash flow from operations and borrowing limitations under our line of credit facility, 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 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 $128,337.66 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. |
|
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. |
