You should carefully consider the risks described below before making an investment decision. The risks described below are not the only ones facing our company. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. Our ability to increase revenues through our acquisition growth strategy depends on our ability to acquire and successfully integrate additional stores. Limitations on our capital resources may prevent us from capitalizing on acquisition opportunities. Manufacturers may restrict our ability to make new acquisitions. We may be unable to improve profitability of newly acquired stores. Competition with other automotive retailers for attractive acquisition targets could restrict our ability to complete new acquisitions. The loss of key personnel or the failure to attract additional qualified management personnel could adversely affect our operations and growth. Our stores depend on vehicle sales and, therefore, our success depends in large part upon the overall demand for the particular lines of vehicles that each of our stores sell and the ability of the manufacturers to continue to deliver such vehicles. Cyclical downturns in the automobile industry that reduce our vehicle sales may adversely affect our profitability. Hostilities in the Middle East or other factors that significantly increase gasoline prices can be expected to reduce vehicle sales. The ability of our stores to make new vehicle sales depends in large part upon the manufacturers and, therefore, any disruption or change in our relationships with manufacturers may materially and adversely affect our profitability. With the breadth of our operations and volume of transactions, compliance with the many federal and state consumer protection and motor vehicle laws cannot be assured. Fines and administration sanctions can be severe. Import product restrictions and foreign trade risks may impair our ability to sell foreign vehicles profitably. Environmental, health or safety regulations could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition or cause us to incur significant expenditures. The sole voting control of our company is held by Sidney B. DeBoer who may have interests different from your interests.
