Item 2.06
Material Impairments and Item 7.01 Regulation FD
On August 11, 2006, Registrant issued a press release in which it announced that it would not
exercise its option to purchase the 87% of R&S Auto Parts and Service, Inc. d/b/a Strauss Discount
Auto (“Strauss”) it did not currently own. A copy of the press release is furnished herewith.
Further, on August 11, 2006, management concluded that it would be necessary for Registrant to
take a charge with respect to Registrant’s current 13% equity investment in Strauss, as well as
other costs incurred by Registrant related to Strauss. Management made this conclusion after
learning that Strauss had filed petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.
At this time, Registrant expects the impairment to result in an after-tax charge of up to $1.7
million in the second fiscal quarter ended September 23, 2006. Management has determined that the
impairment will result in future cash expenditures, which, at this time, are expected to be minor.
