Vote Obtained - Section 607.0704 Florida Revised Statutes

Section 607.0704 of the Florida Revised Statutes (the “Florida Law”) provides that the written consent of the holders of the outstanding shares of common stock, having not less than the minimum number of votes which would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted, may be substituted for such a meeting. In order to eliminate the costs and management time involved in obtaining proxies and in order to effect the Proposals as early as possible in order to accomplish the purposes of the Company as hereafter described, the Board of Directors of the Company voted to utilize, and did in fact obtain, the written consent of the holders of a majority in interest of the common stock of the Company, approving each of the Proposals.

Pursuant to Section 607.0704 of the Florida Revised Statutes, the Company is required to provide prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting to the stockholders of record who have not consented in writing to such action. This Information Statement is intended to provide such notice. No dissenters’ or appraisal rights under the Florida Law are afforded to the Company's stockholders as a result of the approval of the Proposals.


PROPOSAL ONE
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Directors are elected by the shareholders at each annual meeting to hold office until their respective successors are elected and qualified, and need not be shareholders of the Company or residents of the State of Florida. Directors may receive compensation for their services as determined by the Board of Directors. See “Compensation of Directors.” The number of Directors as set by the Bylaws of the Company shall be no less than one (1) nor more than seven (7). Presently, the Board consists of one (1) member, namely Richard A. Parlontieri. Mr. Parlontieri has chosen to stand for re-election, and has nominated two (2) additional individuals to the Board of Directors (the “Director Nominees”), namely Bahram Yusefzadeh and Bradley A. Thompson.

Voting for the election of directors is non-cumulative, which means that a simple majority of the shares voting may elect all of the directors. Each share of common stock is entitled to one (1) vote and, therefore, has a number of votes equal to the number of authorized directors.

Although management of the Company expects that each of the following nominees will be available to serve as a director, in the event that any of them should become unavailable prior to the shareholders meeting, a replacement will be appointed by a majority of the then-existing Board of Directors. Management has no reason to believe that any of its nominees, if elected, will be unavailable to serve. All nominees are expected to serve until the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders or until their successors are duly elected and qualified.

Nominees For Election As Director

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to persons nominated by the Board of Directors of the Company for election as Directors of the Company and who will be elected following the annual shareholders meeting:

PROPOSAL THREE
AMENDMENT TO THE SKTF, INC.
2001 STOCK OPTION PLAN

General

On May 15, 2001, our directors and shareholders approved the SKTF, Inc. 2001 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”), effective June 1, 2001. The Plan offers selected employees, directors, and consultants an opportunity to acquire our common stock, and serves to encourage such persons to remain employed by us and to attract new employees. The Plan allows for the award of stock and options, up to 600,000 shares of our common stock. We have not issued any options or stock awards under the Plan.

On July 15, 2003, the Board of Directors of the Company approved, declared it advisable and in the Company’s best interests and directed that there be submitted to the holders of a majority of the Company’s common stock for action by written consent the proposed amendment to the Plan to increase the number of shares under the Plan from 600,000 shares to 1,000,000 shares.

The Board of Directors believes that it is advisable and in the Company’s best interests to increase the number of shares available under the Plan because the Company needs to attract additional talented individuals to join its management, and believes that incentives provided by stock grants and stock options will assist it in doing so.

Purpose

The purpose of the Plan is to promote the interests of the Company (including its subsidiaries) and its stockholders by using investment interests in the Company to attract, retain and motivate its management and other persons, including officers, directors, key employees and certain consultants, to encourage and reward such persons’ contributions to the performance of the Company and to align their interests with the interests of the Company’s stockholders. In furtherance of this purpose, the Plan authorizes the granting of the following types of stock-based awards (each, an “Award”):


Each of these types of Awards is described below under “Awards.”

Eligibility

Key employees (including employees who are also directors or officers), directors and certain consultants of the Company or any subsidiary are eligible to be granted Awards under the Plan at the discretion of the Board of Directors. In determining the eligibility of any person, as well as in determining the number of shares to be covered by an Award and the type or types of Awards to be made, the Board of Directors may consider:

 
  7  

 
 

Selected consultants may participate in the Plan if:


Administration

The Plan currently is administered by the Board of Directors. In the future, the Board of Directors may form a Compensation Committee to administer the Plan. Any Compensation Committee must be comprised of at least two non-employee directors. If a Compensation Committee is formed to administer the Plan, the Board of Directors will delegate to the Compensation Committee full authority, in its discretion, to:


The Plan is not subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

Shares Subject to the Plan

A total of 600,000 shares (to be increased to 1,000,000 shares upon approval by the shareholders) of Common Stock (subject to adjustment as described below) are reserved for issuance under the Plan. Shares of common stock issued under the Plan may be authorized but unissued shares, or shares reacquired by the Company, including shares purchased on the open market. The unexercised, unearned or yet-to-be acquired portions of any Award that expire, terminate or are canceled, and shares of common stock issued pursuant to Awards under the Plan that are reacquired by the Company pursuant to the terms under which such shares were issued, will again become available for the grant of further Awards.

 
  8  

 
 
Adjustment. In general, the aggregate number of shares as to which Awards may be granted to Participants under the Plan, the number and kind of shares thereof covered by each outstanding Award, and/or the price per share thereof in each such Award will, upon a determination of the Board of Directors, all be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of common stock resulting from an increase, decrease or exchange in the outstanding shares of common stock or additional shares or new or different shares are distributed in respect of such shares of common stock, through merger, consolidation, sale or exchange of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, spin-off or other distribution with respect to such shares. On May 1 of each year, the number of shares in the Plan shall automatically be adjusted to an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the outstanding stock of the Company on April 30 of the immediately preceding year.

Fractional interests will not be issued upon any adjustments made by the Board or Directors; however, the committee may, in its discretion, make a cash payment in lieu of any fractional shares of common stock issuable as a result of such adjustments.

Awards
 
Stock Options . Under the Plan, the Board of Directors may grant either incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options. Incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options may be granted for such number of shares of common stock as the Board of Directors determines.

The exercise price for each stock option is determined by the Board of Directors. Stock options must have an exercise price of at least 85% (100% in the case of incentive stock options, or at least 110% in the case of incentive stock options granted to certain employees owning more than 10% of the outstanding voting stock) of the fair market value of the common stock on the date the stock option is granted. Under the Plan, fair market value of the common stock for a particular date is generally the average of the closing bid and asked prices per share for the stock as quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board on such date.

No stock option may be exercised after the expiration of ten years from the date of grant (or five years in the case of incentive stock options granted to certain employees owning more than 10% of the outstanding voting stock). Pursuant to the Plan, the aggregate fair market value of the common stock, for which one or more incentive stock options granted to any participant may for the first time become exercisable as incentive stock options under the federal tax laws during anyone calendar year shall not exceed $100,000.

A stock option may be exercised in whole or in part according to the terms of the applicable stock option agreement by delivery of written notice of exercise to the Company specifying the number of shares to be purchased. The exercise price for each stock option may be paid by the Participant in cash or by such other means as the Board of Directors may authorize. Fractional shares are not to be issued upon exercise of a stock option. The Board of Directors may grant reload stock options in tandem with stock options that provide for an automatic grant of a stock option in the event a participant pays the exercise price of a stock option by delivery of common stock .

The Board of Directors may, in its discretion, at any time after the grant of a stock option, accelerate vesting of such option, as a whole or in part, by increasing the number of shares then purchasable. However, the Board of Directors may not increase the total number of shares subject to an option.

Subject to the foregoing and the other provisions of the Plan, stock options may be exercised at such times and in such amounts and be subject to such restrictions and other terms and conditions, if any, as determined by the Board of Directors.

 
  9  

 
 
Restricted Stock . Restricted stock may be awarded by the Board of Directors subject to such terms, conditions and restrictions as it deems appropriate. Restrictions may include limitations on voting rights and transferability of the shares, restrictions based on the duration of employment or engagement with the Company, and Company or individual performance. Restricted stock may not be sold or encumbered until all restrictions expire or are terminated. In this regard, the Secretary of the Company or such other escrow holder as the Board of Directors may appoint shall retain physical custody of each certificate representing restricted stock until all restrictions imposed under the applicable Award Agreement shall expire or be removed.

The Board of Directors may require the Participant to pay the Company an amount at least equal to the par value of the common stock awarded to the Participant. Subject to any limitations imposed by the applicable Award Agreement, from the date a Participant becomes the holder of record of restricted stock, the Participant has all the rights of a stockholder with respect to such shares, including the right to vote the shares and to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to the shares.

The Plan provides that to the extent the Board of Directors elects to grant an Award of restricted stock, the Award Agreement applicable thereto shall, except in certain specified situations, provide the Company with the right to repurchase the restricted stock then subject to restrictions immediately upon a termination of employment or engagement for any reason whatsoever at a cash price per share equal to the price paid by the Participant for the restricted stock.

Unrestricted Stock . The Board of Directors may, in its discretion, grant an Award of unrestricted stock to any eligible Participant, pursuant to which such Participant may receive shares of Common Stock free of any vesting restrictions under the Plan. The Board of Directors may also sell shares of unrestricted stock to eligible Participants at a purchase price determined in its discretion. Unrestricted stock may be granted or sold in respect of past services or other valid consideration, or in lieu of any cash compensation due to such individual.

Performance Stock Awards . The Board of Directors may make performance stock awards under the 2002 Securities Plan based upon terms it deems appropriate. The Board of Directors may make performance stock awards independent of or in connection with the granting of any other Award under the Plan. The Board of Directors shall determine whether and to whom performance stock awards shall be made, the performance criteria applicable under each such Award, the periods during which performance is to be measured, and all other limitations and conditions applicable to the awarded shares. The Board of Directors may utilize any of the following performance criteria when granting performance stock awards:


The Participant receiving a performance stock award shall have the rights of a stockholder only as to shares actually received by the Participant and not with respect to shares subject to the Award but not actually received. At any time prior to the Participant’s termination of employment (or other business relationship) by the Company, the Board of Directors may, in its discretion, accelerate, waive or, subject to the other provisions of the Plan, amend any and all performance criteria specified under any performance stock award.

Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following is a brief summary of the principal federal income tax consequences of the grant and exercise of Awards under present law. This summary is not intended to be exhaustive and does not describe foreign, state or local tax consequences. Recipients of Awards are advised to consult their personal tax advisors with regard to all tax consequences arising with respect to the Awards.

Tax Withholding . If a distribution is made under this Plan in cash, the Company will withhold taxes as required by law. If an Award is satisfied in the form of shares of the common stock, then no shares may be issued unless and until arrangements satisfactory to the Company have been made to satisfy any tax withholding obligations applicable with respect to such Award.

Deductibility of Awards . Company deductions for Awards granted under the Plan are limited by Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) which generally limits the Company’s deduction for non-performance based compensation to $1.0 million per year for the Company’s CEO and its other four (4) most highly compensated officers. The Company has not paid any compensation to any executive officers that was not deductible by reason of the prohibition of Section 162(m).

Incentive Stock Options . Pursuant to the Plan, employees may be granted stock options that are intended to qualify as “incentive stock options” under the provisions of Section 422 of the Code. An optionee will not recognize any taxable income for federal income tax purposes upon receipt of an incentive stock option or, generally, at the time of exercise of an incentive stock option. The exercise of an incentive stock option generally will result in an increase in an optionee’s taxable income for alternative minimum tax purposes.

If an optionee exercises an incentive stock option and does not dispose of the shares received in a subsequent “disqualifying disposition” (generally, a sale, gift or other transfer within two years after the date of grant of the incentive stock option or within one year after the shares are transferred to the optionee), upon disposition of the shares any amount realized in excess of the optionee’s tax basis in the shares disposed of will be treated as a long-term capital gain, and any loss will be treated as a long-term capital loss. In the event of a disqualifying disposition, the difference between the fair market value of the shares received on the date of exercise and the exercise price (limited, in the case of a taxable sale or exchange, to the excess of the amount realized upon disposition over the optionee’s tax basis in the shares) will be treated as compensation received by the optionee in the year of disposition. Any additional gain will be taxable as a capital gain and any loss as a capital loss, which will be long-term or short-term, depending on the length of time the optionee held the shares.

 
  11  

 
 
If the exercise price of an incentive stock option is paid in whole or in part with shares of common stock, no income gain or loss generally will be recognized by the optionee with respect to the shares of common stock paid as the exercise price. However, if such shares of common stock were received upon the exercise of an incentive stock option, the use of those shares as payment of the exercise price will be considered a disposition for purposes of determining whether there has been a disqualifying disposition of those shares.

Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries will be entitled to a deduction with respect to shares received by an optionee upon exercise of an incentive stock option and not disposed of in a disqualifying disposition. If an amount is treated as compensation received by an optionee because of a disqualifying disposition, the Company or one of its subsidiaries generally will be entitled to a corresponding deduction in the same amount for compensation paid.

Non-Qualified Stock Options . An optionee will not recognize any taxable income for federal income tax purposes upon receipt of a non-qualified stock option. Upon the exercise of a non-qualified stock option the amount by which the fair market value of the shares received, determined as of the date of exercise, exceeds the exercise price, the stock option will be treated as compensation received by the optionee in the year of exercise. If the exercise price of a non-qualified stock option is paid in whole or in part with shares of common stock, (i) no income, gain or loss will be recognized by the optionee on the receipt of shares equal in value on the date of exercise to the shares delivered in payment of the exercise price, and (ii) no income, gain or loss will be recognized by the optionee with respect to the shares of common stock paid as the exercise price of the option. The fair market value of the remainder of the shares received upon exercise of the non-qualified stock option, determined as of the date of exercise, less the amount of cash, if any, paid upon exercise, will be treated as compensation income received by the optionee on the date of exercise of the stock option. The Company or one of its subsidiaries, generally will be entitled to a deduction for compensation paid in the same amount treated as compensation received by the optionee.

Reload Option Rights . An optionee should not recognize any taxable income for federal income tax purposes upon receipt of reload option rights, and a reload option should be treated as a non-qualified stock option.

Restricted Stock . A recipient of restricted stock will not recognize any taxable income for federal income tax purposes in the year of the Award, provided the shares are subject to restrictions (that is, they are non-transferable and subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture). However, the recipient may elect under Section 83(b) of the Code to recognize compensation income in the year of the Award in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares on the date of the Award (less the amount paid by the recipient for such shares), determined without regard to the restrictions. If the recipient does not make a Section 83(b) election, the fair market value of the shares on the date the restrictions lapse (less the amount paid by the recipient for such shares) will be treated as compensation income to the recipient and will be taxable in the year the restrictions lapse. The Company or one of its subsidiaries generally will be entitled to a deduction for compensation paid in the same amount treated as compensation income to the recipient.

Unrestricted Stock . Any shares of common stock received pursuant to an Award of unrestricted stock will be treated as compensation income received by the recipient, generally, in the year in which the recipient receives such shares. In each case, the amount of compensation income will equal the fair market value of the shares of common stock on the date compensation income is recognized (less the amount, if any, paid by the recipient for such shares). The Company or one of its subsidiaries, generally, will be entitled to a corresponding deduction in the same amount for compensation paid.

 
  12

PROPOSAL FOUR
RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT
OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Board of Directors has appointed Bennett Thrasher PC to audit the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2003, and seeks ratification of such appointment. In the event of a negative vote on such ratification, the Board of Directors will reconsider its appointment.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company’s independent auditors were Ramirez International. Bennett Thrasher PC has been engaged to audit the financial statement of Speedemissions, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and because the assets and operations of Speedemissions, Inc. are the assets and operations of the surviving entity for accounting purposes in the acquisition, the Board of Directors decided on July 15, 2003 to change the Company’s independent auditors to Bennett Thrasher PC. This change will be effective following ratification of the Directors appointment at the annual meeting.

The audit report of Ramirez International on the financial statements of SKTF Enterprises, Inc. as of December 31, 2002 and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 (the “Audit Period”) did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to audit scope or accounting principles, except the reports were modified to include an explanatory paragraph wherein they expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. During the Audit Period, and the period up to their resignation, there were no disagreements with the former accountant on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of the former accountant, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its report.

During the two most recent fiscal years, or any subsequent interim period prior to engaging Bennett Thrasher PC, neither the Company nor anyone acting on the Company's behalf consulted with Bennett Thrasher PC regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction, or (ii) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements where either written or oral advice was provided that was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue, or (iii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement with the Company's former accountant on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of the former accountant, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its audit report.
 
The Company has provided a copy of this disclosure to its former accountants, and requested that the former accountants furnish them with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether they agree with the statements made by the Registrant, and, if not, stating the respects in which they do not agree.

Representatives of Bennett Thrasher PC and Ramirez International are not expected to be present at the annual meeting, will not have an opportunity to make a statement, and will not be available to respond to appropriate questions.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, Ramirez International billed the Company $9,685 and $8,516, respectively, in fees for professional services for the audit of the Company’s annual financial statements and review of financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-QSB.

All of the fees described above relate to SKTF Enterprises, Inc., and do not include fees billed with respect to Speedemissions, Inc. Of the fees described above, 100% were approved by the Board of Directors of the Company as there was not an Audit Committee in place at the time of the approvals.
