     As previously disclosed, on March 13, 2006, the Registrant learned that it
was involved in a federal criminal immigration investigation relating to the
alleged hiring of illegal aliens. In connection with the investigation, federal
authorities searched the Registrant's headquarters and four of its forty-eight
car washes. On March 28, 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. It is anticipated that the
independent investigator will provide a preliminary report to the Audit
Committee on or before April 12, 2006.
