Richard Marks, President and Chief Operating Officer, noted: "The increase in net sales in the recent periods is a function of the rapid growth and increased market share in the Company's domestic vehicles business, even though that business represents lower margins as compared with the Company's traditional imported vehicles business. The decrease in earnings per share over the periods reflects the increased number of outstanding shares that resulted from the Company's underwritten public offering of common stock in November 1997."
