     As previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 31,
2006, the Registrant's Audit Committee retained independent outside counsel to
conduct an independent investigation, under the supervision of the Audit
Committee, of the Registrant's hiring practices at the Registrant's car washes
and other related matters. The independent investigator provided an interim
verbal report to the Audit Committee on April 12, 2006. The independent
investigator is in the process of preparing a summary of its findings.
Registrant is unable to complete the consolidated financial statements for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, until the review of the summary of the
investigator's findings. Accordingly, the Registrant was unable to file its
Annual Report on Form 10-K within the prescribed extension period.
