Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2012

(Unaudited)

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 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.

We have experienced recurring net losses which have caused an accumulated deficit of $19,190,987 at March 31, 2012. We had a working capital deficit of $444,880 at March 31, 2012 compared to a working capital deficit of $376,593 at December 31, 2011.

Our revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 and the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 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, 2012 and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 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. 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 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 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.

At March 31, 2012, our line of credit facility of $100,000 was 95% of the maximum limit. Our very near term liquidity is dependent on our working capital and primarily on the revenues generated from our store operations. The initial term of our line of credit facility matured on December 20, 2011. The loan facility was renewed for a three year period. Under the new line of credit facility, the principal amount outstanding is payable on demand or if no demand is made on December 15, 2014, unless extended by the lender and us during a review of the Loan Agreement. In the event of a demand for payment by the lender, 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 would be available or, if available, that we would be able to complete financing on satisfactory terms. During the quarter ended March 31, 2012, our line of credit net borrowings increased $5,000 to the outstanding balance of $95,000 at March 31, 2012 from $90,000 at December 31, 2011. At May 3, 2012, the outstanding balance on the loan facility was $95,000 and our cash balances were approximately $88,000.

During the prior two years, we made reductions in employee headcount, the number of stores, same store operating expenses, corporate overhead and other operating expenses. At March 31, 2012, 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 would be available or, if available, that we would be able to complete financing on satisfactory terms.

During the first quarter of 2012, the majority of the Company’s employees received a 2% reduction in their salary or hourly wage rate. During the quarter ended March 31, 2012, as well as the year ended December 31, 2011, 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.

Note 2: Nature of Operations

Description of Business

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 31, 2012, we operated 38 vehicle emissions testing and safety inspection stations under the trade names of Speedemissions (Atlanta, Georgia and St. Louis, Missouri); Mr. Sticker (Houston, Texas); and Just Emissions (Salt Lake City, Utah). We also operate four mobile testing units in the Atlanta, Georgia area which service automotive dealerships and local government agencies. We manage our operations based on these four 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. Our revenues are mainly generated from the test or inspection fee charged to the registered owner of the vehicle. As a service to our customers, we sell automotive parts and supplies such as windshield wipers, taillight bulbs and gas caps. In addition, we perform a limited amount of services including oil changes and headlight restorations at select locations. We do not provide major automotive repair services.

On June 22, 2010, the Company announced the launch of its first iPhone application, Carbonga. Carbonga diagnoses an automobile’s computer systems using the on board diagnostic port on vehicles that are 1996 or newer. 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 has additional features including the ability to receive vehicle safety recalls and Technical Service Bulletins for an annual subscription fee.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) as codified in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position and results of operations. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full year. The financial statements and related notes do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual reports. This quarterly report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date of filing its Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Other than as described in Note 15: Subsequent Events, the Company is not aware of any significant events that occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date but prior to the filing of this report that would have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Consolidation

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

Note 3: Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates

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. For a description of Speedemissions’ critical accounting policies see the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Table of Contents

Fair Value Measurements

The Company uses a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

 

   

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Company has no Level 1 assets or liabilities.

 

   

Level 2 – Observable inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. The Company has no Level 2 assets or liabilities.

 

   

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs. The Company had no Level 3 assets or liabilities.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, line of credit, 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, capital lease obligations, notes receivable and note payable approximate carrying value based upon current borrowing rates.

Note 4: Inventory

Inventory at March 31, 2012 consisted of certificate and merchandise inventory and was $48,639 and $22,177, respectively. Inventory at December 31, 2011 consisted of certificate and merchandise inventory and was $45,798 and $14,024, respectively.

Note 5: 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 will receive the sum of $125,000 payable in monthly installments of $1,000 per month for seventy-two months. The balance of $53,000 will be due and payable to the Company on June 1, 2016. The note receivable is collateralized by a second lien on property owned by the former manager. The note receivable and gain from the settlement was computed and recorded at its present value of $106,881 using an interest rate equal to prime rate plus 0.5%, which was 3.75%, which approximates rates offered in the market for notes receivable with similar terms and conditions. The Company recognized a gain from the legal settlement in the amount of $106,881 during 2010.

On June 30, 2011, the Company sold all of the emissions testing and safety inspection equipment at one of its stores in Texas and subleased the facility. The Company received cash and a promissory note and personal guarantee from the purchaser for the equipment. The promissory note bears interest at 0.55% per annum and the term of the promissory note is twenty-four months. The principal amount of the promissory note is $15,000. As of March 31, 2012 the amount outstanding under this note was $2,125.

The present value of the notes receivable was $89,669 and $101,039 at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Note 6: Property and Equipment

Property and equipment at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 consisted of the following:

Note 9: Note Payable

Bridge Note Agreement

On November 11, 2010, the Company entered into a $55,000 bridge note agreement (“Note”) with an affiliate, GCA Strategic Investment Fund, Limited (“GCA”). The Note bears 0% interest and is due in full on November 11, 2012. The Note is not convertible into the Company’s stock and is subject to mandatory prepayment upon a change of control, as defined in the Note. The Note had a balance due of $55,000 on March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

Revolving Credit Facility

On December 20, 2010, the Company entered into a revolving line of credit loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Regions Bank (“Lender”), pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to $100,000 in order to pay trade payables and for working capital purposes. The principal amount outstanding under the Loan Agreement is payable on demand or, if no demand is made, on December 20, 2011, unless extended by the Lender and the Company during an annual review of the Loan Agreement. On December 15, 2011, the Lender and the Company agreed to extend the Loan Agreement until December 15, 2014. The annual interest rate on the note is equal to the greater of i) the prime rate of the Lender plus 1.75% or ii) 4.75%. The Loan Agreement is collateralized by the Company’s inventory, accounts receivable, equipment, general intangibles and fixtures. The Company may prepay the outstanding balance at any time without penalty. The balance due under the Loan Agreement was $95,000 and $90,000 at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Note 10: Net Loss Per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) or net loss per share, 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 and Series B preferred stock (commonly and hereinafter referred to as “Common Stock Equivalents”), were exercised or converted into common stock.

The following table sets forth the computation for basic and diluted net loss per share for the three month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively:

Table of Contents
(1) As a result of the Company’s net loss for the three month period ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, aggregate Common Stock Equivalents of 9,740,058 and 9,740,058 issuable under stock option plans and stock warrants that were potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive and have been excluded from the computation of weighted average common shares (diluted) for the three month period ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. These Common Stock Equivalents could be dilutive in future periods.
(2) As a result of the Company’s net loss in the three month period ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, 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 three month period ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. These Common Stock Equivalents could be dilutive in future periods.

Note 11: Preferred and Common Stock

Preferred Stock

There were 5,133 shares of Series A convertible redeemable preferred stock (“Preferred A Stock”) issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. For financial statement purposes, the Preferred A Stock has been presented outside of stockholders’ deficit on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as a result of certain conditions that are outside the control of the Company that could trigger redemption of the securities.

Common Stock

The Company issued no common shares during the three months ended March 31, 2012. The Company had 34,688,166 common shares outstanding as of March 31, 2012.

Note 12: Share-Based Compensation

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes valuation model, and determines the fair value of restricted stock units based on the number of shares granted and the quoted price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Such value is recognized as expense over the requisite service period, net of estimated forfeitures, using the straight-line attribution method. The estimate of awards that will ultimately vest requires significant judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from the Company’s current estimates, such amounts will be recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period estimates are revised. The Company considers many factors when estimating expected forfeitures, including types of awards, employee class and historical employee attrition rates. Actual results, and future changes in estimates, may differ substantially from the Company’s current estimates.

Share-based compensation expense was $0 during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Share-based compensation is included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Stock Incentive Plans

The Company has granted options to employees and directors to purchase the Company’s common stock under various stock incentive plans. Under the plans, employees and non-employee directors are eligible to receive awards of various forms of equity-based incentive compensation, including stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance awards, among others. The plans are administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, which determines the terms of the awards granted. Stock options are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, have a term of ten years or less, and generally vest over three years from the date of grant.

The following table sets forth the options granted under the Company’s stock option plans during the three month period ended March 31, 2012:

     59,000       $ 0.57      
  

 

 

       

The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and exercisable at March 31, 2012 was $0. Intrinsic value is the amount by which the fair value of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price of the options.

Table of Contents

The Company estimates the fair value for stock options at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires management to make certain assumptions. Expected volatility is based on comparable company data. The Company bases the risk-free interest rate on U.S. Treasury note rates. The expected term is based on the vesting period and an expected exercise term. The Company does not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future and therefore uses an expected dividend yield of 0%. The Company did not grant stock options in the three months ended March 31, 2012.

As of March 31, 2012, there was no unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to non-vested stock options. There no options that vested during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

There were 59,000 options issued and outstanding under the Company’s 2001 Stock Option Plan, the Amended and Restated 2005 Omnibus Stock Grant and Option Plan, Speedemissions Inc. 2006 Stock Grant and Option Plan and the 2008 Stock Grant and Option Plan (collectively, the “Option Plans”) as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. There were no options granted under these plans during the three month period ended March 31, 2012. There were no options exercised during the three month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

Stock Warrants

There were no common stock warrants outstanding as of December 31, 2011 and there were no warrants granted or exercised during the three month period ended March 31, 2012.

Note 13: Income Taxes

No provision for income taxes has been reflected for the three month period ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 as the Company has sufficient net operating loss carry forwards to offset taxable income.

Note 14: Contingencies

In the ordinary course of business, the Company 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 the Company’s financial condition and/or results of operations.

During 2010, the Company filed a Demand for Arbitration claim for $2,900,000 plus legal fees against the former owners of Mr. Sticker, Inc. (“Mr. Sticker”), David E. Smith, Barbara Smith and Grant Smith (the “Smiths”). The Company purchased Mr. Sticker from the Smiths on June 30, 2005 for $3,100,000. The Company asserts that the Smith’s interfered with the continuation of the acquired business and the renewal of certain leases held by the Smiths or by controlled entities of the Smiths related to the acquisition of Mr. Sticker by the Company. The Company further asserts breach of contract, fraud and fraudulent inducement and tortuous interference by the Smiths. The arbitration claim has yet to be heard by the arbitrators.

Note 15: Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date these financial statements were issued and determined there were no subsequent events which would require disclosure in this current report for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

ITEM 2 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. Forward-looking statements are statements we make based on our management’s expectations, estimates, projections and assumptions and are, by their very nature, uncertain and risky. These risks and uncertainties include international, national and local general economic and market conditions; demographic changes; our ability to sustain, manage, or forecast growth; our ability to successfully make and integrate acquisitions; emission certificate cost; new product development and introduction; existing government regulations and changes in, or the failure to comply with, government regulations; adverse publicity; competition; the loss of significant customers or suppliers; fluctuations and difficulty in forecasting operating results; changes in business strategy or development plans; business disruptions; the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; the ability to protect technology; and other risks that might be detailed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The above examples are not exhaustive and new risks emerge from time to time. For a further discussion of risk factors relating to our business, see Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Although the forward-looking statements in this quarterly report reflect the good faith judgment of our management, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known by them. Consequently, and because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, the actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in the forward-looking statements. 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.

We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Since our common stock is considered a “penny stock,” we are not eligible to rely on the safe harbor for forward-looking statements provided in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and any references to these sections are for informational purposes only.

Overview

Speedemissions 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 (and in certain foreign countries) mandate vehicle emissions testing as a method of improving air quality. As of March 31, 2012, the Company operated 38 vehicle emissions testing and safety inspection stations under the trade names of Speedemissions (Atlanta, Georgia and St. Louis, Missouri); Mr. Sticker (Houston, Texas); and Just Emissions (Salt Lake City, Utah). The Company also operates four mobile testing units in the Atlanta, Georgia area. The Company manages its operations based on these four regions and has one reportable segment. We use computerized emissions testing and safety inspections equipment that test vehicles for compliance with vehicle emissions and safety standards. Our revenues are generated from the test or inspection fee charged to the registered owner of the vehicle. We do not provide automotive repair services.

On June 22, 2010, the Company announced the launch of its first iPhone application, Carbonga. Carbonga diagnoses an automobile’s computer systems using the on board diagnostic port on vehicles that are 1996 or newer. 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 has additional features including the ability to receive vehicle safety recalls and Technical Service Bulletins for an annual subscription fee. Revenues from Carbonga have not been material to operating results.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 2012 and 2011

Our revenue, cost of emission certificates, store operating expenses, general and administrative expenses, (gain) loss from disposal of non-strategic assets and operating loss for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011 were as follows:

Table of Contents

Revenue. Revenue decreased $190,121 or (9.0%) to $1,921,005 in the three month period ended March 31, 2012 compared to $2,111,126 in the three month period ended March 31, 2011. The decrease in revenue over the comparable period was primarily due to the closure of two stores in Texas during the quarter ended March 31, 2011 and a decrease from same store sales of $140,076 or (6.8%). The decrease in same store sales is mainly attributable to fewer tests being performed during the three month period ended March 31, 2012 compared to the prior comparable period at our all locations.

Cost of emission certificates. Cost of emission certificates decreased $44,321 or (9.4%) in the three month period ended March 31, 2012 and was $425,747 or 22.2% of revenues, compared to $470,067 or 22.3% of revenues in the three month period ended March 31, 2011. The decrease in cost of emission certificates over the comparable period was primarily due to the closure of two stores in Texas during the quarter ended March 31, 2011 and decrease in same store sales.

Store operating expenses. Store operating expenses decreased $129,336 or (9.0%) in the three month period ended March 31, 2012 and was $1,312,551 or 68.3% of revenues, compared to $1,441,887 or 68.2% of revenues in the three month period ended March 31, 2011. The decrease was mainly attributable to lower store operating costs of $46,596 resulting from the closure of two stores in Texas during the quarter ended March 31, 2011 and a decrease in same store operating expenses of $82,740. The decrease in same store operating expenses was primarily the result of tighter management controls over store operating controls.

General and administrative expenses. Our general and administrative expenses decreased $41,281, or (12.1%) to $299,042 in the three month period ended March 31, 2012 from $340,323 in the three month period ended March 31, 2011. The decrease in general and administrative expenses during the three month period March 31, 2012 was mainly due to a decrease in staffing and lower professional fees related to Carbonga compared to the prior year comparable period.

(Gain) Loss from disposal of non-strategic assets. We recognized a $2,458 gain from the disposal of a non-strategic asset in the three month period ended March 31, 2012. We recognized a gain on the disposal of non-strategic assets of $1,000 in the three month period ended March 31, 2011.

Operating loss. Our operating loss decreased by $26,275 in the three month period ended March 31, 2012 and was ($113,877) compared to an operating loss of ($140,151) in the three month period ended March 31, 2011. The decrease in operating loss was mainly due to the decrease in the cost of emission certificates, store operating expenses and general and administrative expenses, offset by the decrease in revenue.

Interest income, interest expense, net loss and basic and diluted net loss per share. Our interest income, interest expense, net loss and basic and diluted net loss per share for the three month period ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the three month period ended March 31, 2011 is as follows:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Introduction

Our net cash position decreased by $6,909 during the three months ended March 31, 2012 primarily from cash used in operations while our total liabilities increased by a net $75,765. Our current liabilities increased mainly due to an $118,980 increase in our accounts payable. We hope to achieve an increase in our net operating cash flows on a long-term basis, but we may not achieve positive operating cash flows on a consistent basis during 2012.

 

14


Table of Contents

We do not believe that our existing cash, cash flows from operations and potential borrowings on our existing line of credit loan facility will be sufficient to support our operating and investing needs for at least the next twelve months. We may or may not have the ability to raise additional working capital to fund operations. Our stores may or may not have the ability to achieve or maintain sufficient positive operating cash flow to fund operations without additional working capital. Net cash used in operating activities in the quarter ended March 31, 2012 was $8,436 as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $167,452 in the quarter ended March 31, 2011.

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 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 to allow us to continue as a going concern.

Cash Requirements

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, our net cash used in operating activities was $8,436 compared to net cash used in operations of $167,452 in the three months ended March 31, 2011. Negative operating cash flows during the three months ended March 31, 2012 were primarily created by a net loss of $116,782, an increase in other current assets of $12,800, an increase in certificate and merchandise inventory of $10,993, offset by an $88,307 increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The decrease in net cash used in operating activities was also offset by depreciation and amortization of $45,890.

Negative operating cash flows during the three months ended March 31, 2011 were primarily created by a net loss of $143,951, a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, an increase in other current assets of $14,871, an increase in certificate and merchandise inventory, a decrease in other liabilities of $15,041 and a gain on the disposal of assets of $1,000. The decrease in net cash used in operating activities was offset by depreciation and amortization of $55,801.

Sources and Uses of Cash

Net cash provided by investing activities was $14,470 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $3,245 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The net cash provided by investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2012 was related to proceeds from a note receivable of $11,370 and proceeds from an asset sale of $3,100. The net cash provided by investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2011 was related to proceeds from a note receivable of $2,245 and proceeds from an asset sale of $1,000.

Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities was ($12,943) and $55,517 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 we received net proceeds of $5,000 from our note payable to a bank which is related to our line of credit and made principal payments of $5,954 and $11,989 on equipment financing obligations and capital leases, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2011 we received net proceeds of $70,357 from our note payable to a bank which is related to our line of credit and made principal payments of $4,162 and $10,678 on equipment financing obligations and capital leases, respectively.

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon its consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. In consultation with our Board of Directors, the Company has identified accounting policies related to valuation of our equity instruments, valuation of long-lived assets and goodwill, created as the result of business acquisitions, and valuation of the allowance provided against deferred tax assets as key to an understanding of our financial statements. These are important accounting policies that require management’s most difficult, subjective judgments.

ITEM 4 Controls and Procedures

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of March 31, 2012 (the “Evaluation Date”), have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure the timely collection, evaluation and disclosure of information relating to the Company that would potentially be subject to disclosure under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal controls as of the Evaluation Date.

(A) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide a reasonable level of assurance of achieving the Company’s disclosure control objectives. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are, in fact, effective at this reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered. In addition, the Company reviewed its internal controls, and there have been no significant changes in its internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect those controls subsequent to the date of their last evaluation or from the end of the reporting period to the date of this Form 10-Q.

(B) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

In connection with the evaluation of the Company’s internal controls during the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have determined that there are no changes to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially effect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1 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.

During 2010, the Company filed a Demand for Arbitration claim for $2,900,000 plus legal fees against the former owners of Mr. Sticker, Inc. (“Mr. Sticker”), David E. Smith, Barbara Smith and Grant Smith (the “Smiths”). The Company purchased Mr. Sticker from the Smiths on June 30, 2005 for $3,100,000. The Company asserts that the Smith’s interfered with the continuation of the acquired business and the renewal of certain leases held by the Smiths or by controlled entities of the Smiths related to the acquisition of Mr. Sticker by the Company. The Company further asserts breach of contract, fraud and fraudulent inducement and tortuous interference by the Smiths. The arbitration claim has yet to be heard by the arbitrators.
