PART III - NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K,
10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report, or portion thereof, could
not be filed within the prescribed time period.
As recently disclosed on a Current Report on Form 8-K, 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. The Registrant's Audit
Committee has 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. The Registrant is unable to
complete the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2005 until the issuance of the report of the independent
investigator. The Registrant expects to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2005 on or before April 17, 2006.
