Posted on August 12, 2008 at 08:30 AM EDT

ATLANTA, Aug. 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Speedemissions, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: SPMI), a leading vehicle emissions testing and safety inspections company with 44 testing stores in Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Salt Lake City and St. Louis today announced its results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2008.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2008, the Company reported record revenue of $2,609,000, up 5.7% from $2,469,000 in the same period last year. The Company incurred net loss of $174,000, or ($0.03) per basic and diluted share compared to net income of $102,000, or $0.03 per basic and $0.01 per diluted share in the comparable period year in 2007. Net loss was negatively affected by $225,000 in early operating losses experienced at the Company's new locations in Dallas, St. Louis and Houston during the three months ended June 30, 2008. Revenue from same stores sales decreased $98,000 or 4.0% in the quarter ended June 30, 2008. Same store net operating income in the three- month period ended June 30, 2008 increased $66,000 or 13.4% to $554,000 from $489,000 in the comparable period in 2007.

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company reported record revenue of $5,093,000, up 4.3% from $4,881,000 in the same period last year. The Company incurred net loss of $349,000, or ($0.07) per basic and diluted share compared to net income of $50,000, or $0.02 per basic and $0.01 per diluted share in the comparable period year in 2007. Net loss was affected by $449,000 in early operating losses experienced at the Company's new locations in Dallas, St. Louis and Houston during the six months ended June 30, 2008. Revenue from same stores sales decreased $134,000 or 2.8% in the six months ended June 30, 2008. Same store net operating income in the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 increased $275,000 or 33.9% to $1,086,000 from $811,000 in the comparable period in 2007.

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

"We are encouraged by the increase in our same store net operating income despite lower same store sales. As expected, our investment in new stores in Houston, Dallas and St. Louis added additional revenue and operating expenses which contributed to the loss in the quarter and six months. We may continue to operate at a loss and our cash on hand may decrease as a result of the early operating losses at the new stores until they achieve the test volume necessary to break even. We are working extremely hard with our new store projects and look to improve on our results going forward."
