Note 5. Acquisitions

    The following acquisitions were made in 2000. In March, Lithia acquired the Bob Rice Ford/Chrysler dealership in Boise, Idaho. The dealership had estimated 1999 revenues of approximately $73,000. In May, Lithia acquired Shumate Honda in Kennewick, Washington with estimated annual revenues of $27,000.

    The above acquisitions were accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Pro forma results of operations are not materially different from actual results of operations.

    Additionally, in April 2000, Lithia added a Daewoo franchise and store in Twin Falls, Idaho. Two shared franchises in Reno, Nevada have now been split, creating two separate stores; Lithia Reno Subaru and Lithia Reno Hyundai.

Note 6. Purchase of Common Stock

    In June 2000, Lithia's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 1,000,000 shares of Lithia's Class A Common Stock. Lithia has purchased shares under this program and will continue to do so from time to time in the future as market conditions warrant.
