Robert M. Haft Employment Litigation
____________________________________

                On February 22, 1995, the federal district court in the
employment litigation brought by Robert M. Haft, the former president of
Dart Group Corporation ("Dart Group") and former Chairman of Crown Books
Corporation ("Crown Books") (Robert M. Haft v. Dart Group Corporation, et
al. (D. Del. Civ. Action No. 93-384-SLR)), made the following rulings
against Dart Group, Crown Books and Trak Auto Corporation ("Trak Auto"):    

     1)         The court found that Robert Haft was entitled to additional
                damages in the amount of $2,146,250, plus interest, based on
                the failure of Crown Books to deliver 100,000 unrestricted
                shares of Crown Books stock to him when he demanded them in
                August of 1993.

     2)         The court found that Robert Haft was entitled to exercise
                employee stock options under applicable employee stock
                option plans of Dart Group, Crown Books, and Trak Auto.  As
                to options that had expired during the pendency of the case,
                the court extended the time for exercise for a period equal
                to the period from June 30, 1993 to the expiration date.  As
                to options that have not yet expired, the court extended the
                exercise date for a period equal to the period from June 30,
                1993 until final judgment is entered, which the court has
                not yet done.  (Under the relevant plans, Robert Haft would
                be entitled to exercise options for 50,000 Dart Group Class
                A shares having exercise prices of $71.50 - $104.50 a share,
                80,000 Crown Books shares having exercise prices of $21.45 -
                $23.93 a share, and 40,000 Trak Auto shares having exercise
                prices of $6.60 - $13.75 a share.)

    3)          The court found that Robert Haft has the right to purchase
                for $149,400 ten percent of Dart Group's interest in the
                entity that acquired the assets of Total Beverage's
                Chantilly store.
