| Note: Operations are subject to seasonal variations. The first quarter generally contributes less operating profits than the second, |  |
| third and fourth quarters. Parts and service demand remains more stable throughout the year. Amounts presented may differ from |  |
| amounts previously reported on Form 10-Q due to the classification of certain franchises in discontinued and continuing operations |  |
| in accordance with "Presentation of Financial Statements" in the ASC (see Note 2). |  |
| (1) Results are for continuing operations. |  |
| (2) Results include both continuing operations and discontinued operations. |  |
| (3) The sum of net income per common share for the quarters may not equal the full year amount due to weighted average |  |
| common shares being calculated on a quarterly versus annual basis. |  |
