Speedemissions Reports Year End 2007 Results

ATLANTA, April 3, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Speedemissions, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: SPMI), a leading vehicle emissions testing and safety inspections company with 49 testing stores in Atlanta, Houston, Salt Lake City and St. Louis today announced its results for the year ended December 31, 2007.

For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company reported revenue of $9.7 million up from $9.5 million in the prior year. Revenue from same stores sales increased 3%. The Company incurred net loss of $264,232, or ($0.07) per basic and diluted share compared to a net loss of $1.3 million, or ($0.46) per basic and diluted share in the year ended December 31, 2006.

Cost of emissions certificates totaled $2.3 million compared to $2.4 million in 2006. Store operating expenses totaled $5.8 million compared to $5.8 million in 2006. For the year ended December 31, 2007, general and administrative expenses were $1.8 million compared to $1.6 million in 2006. General and administrative expenses increased mainly as a result of Sarbanes-Oxley compliance costs and additional SEC filings.

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

"I am pleased to report we have generated our second consecutive year of positive operating cash flows with our cash provided operations growing to $562,000, up from $324,000 in the prior year. We also experienced a 3% increase in same store sales while reducing our same store operating expenses by 4%."

Parlontieri concluded:

"During the fourth quarter of 2007, we began our expansion into the Dallas and St. Louis emissions testing and safety inspection markets. We have added a total 14 new locations in Houston, Dallas and St. Louis since September 30, 2007 and we are excited about the opportunity these markets present for us. The investment in new stores is expected to add additional revenue to the company. However, until the new stores achieve the test volume necessary to cover the initial capital expenditures and expenses of operating these stores, we may operate at a loss and our cash on hand may decrease."
