Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On April 14, 2006, CSK Auto Corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that, pending completion of the previously announced investigation by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors into certain accounting errors and irregularities, it is delaying the filing of its annual report on Form 10-K (“Form 10-K”) for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2006 (“fiscal 2005”). The Company will file its Form 10-K as soon as reasonably practicable; however, the timing is dependent upon substantial completion of the aforementioned investigation and completion by the Company of its required assessment of internal control over financial reporting for fiscal 2005 and restatement of historical financial results. In addition, the press release contained certain preliminary net sales information for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 and full year fiscal 2005. The full text of the press release is being furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.
