T O O U R S T O C K H O L D E R S

2007 was another outstanding year for Penske Automotive Group, highlighted by a 16.5% increase in our overall revenue. During the year, we reported quarter over quarter revenue increases for the 35th consecutive period. More importantly, we continued to generate strong same-store retail revenue growth. In fact, the 7.9% same-store retail revenue growth we reported in 2007 represents our ninth consecutive annual increase, and represents the highest same-store growth rate reported this year by any of the U.S. publicly traded automotive retailers.

We also increased our annualized dividend to $0.36 per year, which demonstrates our confi dence in the continuing strength of the operating performance of the business, while allowing us to maintain the fi nancial fl exibility to implement our business strategies.

While 2007 was a diffi cult year for many in the automotive industry, our business performed well despite the challenges presented by the current operating environment. We believe our success begins with our differentiated business model, which gives us the opportunity to increase revenues and earnings, even in diffi cult economic periods. Our geographic diversifi cation, outstanding brand mix, opportunistic acquisition strategy and other targeted investments foster our goal of enhancing shareholder value.

As a signifi cant highlight, we completed two campus renovation projects in Turnersville, New Jersey, and Warwick, Rhode Island. After three years of construction, and an aggregate $175 million investment, these campuses are now fully operational and represent opportunities for long-term earnings growth in their markets.

During the year, we also purchased dealerships that we expect to generate $450 million of annualized revenues, enhancing our scale in certain markets in the United States and the United Kingdom.

Of course, none of this would be possible without the efforts of our employees. I would like to recognize the hard work and dedication put forth by our nearly 16,000 employees during the year. Particularly pleasing to me are the efforts of our team

that resulted in the growth of our pre-owned vehicle sales business and the sustained strength of our service and parts operations.

In addition, the efforts of the smart USA LLC team to develop the distribution system for the smart fortwo® vehicle in the United States, including the selection of 74 dealers around the country, in 18 months were truly outstanding. We shipped the fi rst smart fortwos to our retail partners in January of 2008, and are excited about the opportunity the smart distribution business presents to enhance shareholder value.

As we announced in March of 2008, our Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase up to $150 million of our common stock. This program highlights our belief in the long-term fundamentals and value of our business. We plan to opportunistically repurchase shares under this program, balanced by the capital needs of our continued investment in the growth of our business, in an effort to enhance the overall returns of our shareholders.

Finally, I would like to note that we changed the name of our company to Penske Automotive Group, Inc. in July 2007. This name change emphasizes our long-term commitment to the business, as we seek to build a world-class automotive enterprise.

We remain confi dent in the ability of our business model to adapt to the challenges of the domestic and international markets, and we remain excited about the opportunities for our continued growth.

Thank you for your continued support of Penske Automotive Group.

PART I

Item 1. Business

We are the second largest automotive retailer headquartered in the U.S. as measured by total revenues. As ofFebruary 1, 2008, we owned and operated 170 franchises in the U.S. and 145 franchises outside of the U.S.,primarily in the United Kingdom. We offer a full range of vehicle brands, with 94% of our total revenue in 2007generated from the sales of brands such as Audi, BMW, Honda, Lexus, Mercedes-Benz and Toyota(“non-U.S. brands”). Sales relating to premium brands, such as Audi, BMW, Cadillac and Porsche, represented65% of our total revenue. As a result, we have the highest concentration of revenues from non-U.S. and premiumbrands among the U.S. publicly-traded automotive retailers.

Each of our dealerships offers a wide selection of new and used vehicles for sale. In addition to selling new andused vehicles, we offer a full range of maintenance and repair services, and we facilitate the placement of third-partyfinance and insurance products, third-party extended service contracts and replacement and aftermarket automotiveproducts. We are also diversified geographically, with 62% of our revenues generated from U.S. operations and 38%generated from our operations outside the U.S. (predominately in the U.K.).

Beginning in 2007, our wholly-owned subsidiary, smart USA Distributor LLC, became the exclusivedistributor of the smart fortwo vehicle in the U.S. and Puerto Rico.

We believe our diversified revenue streams help to mitigate the historical cyclicality found in some elements ofthe automotive sector. Revenues from higher margin service and parts sales are typically less cyclical than retailvehicle sales, and generate the largest part of our gross profit. The following graphic shows the percentage of ourretail revenues by product area and their respective contribution to our overall gross profit in 2007:

Business Strategy

Our strategy is to sell and service outstanding vehicle brands in premium facilities. We believe offering ourcustomers superior customer service in a premium location fosters a long-term relationship, which helps generaterepeat and referral business, particularly in our higher-margin service and parts business. We believe our focus ondeveloping a loyal customer base has helped to increase our profitability and generate incremental service and partssales. In addition, our large number of dealerships, geographically concentrated by region, allows us the opportunityto achieve cost savings and implement best practices, while also providing access to a broad base of potentialacquisitions.

Offer Outstanding Brands in Premium Facilities

We have the highest concentration of revenues from non-U.S. brands among the U.S. publicly-tradedautomotive retailers. We believe the market performance of the brands we represent contributed to our

Over time, we are making substantial investments in our retail dealerships in an effort to create an outstandingretail experience for our customers. We believe the experience we offer customers in our facilities drives repeat andreferral business, particularly in our higher margin service and parts operations. Where advantageous, we attempt toaggregate our dealerships in a campus or group setting in order to build a destination location for our customers,which we believe helps to drive increased customer traffic to each of the brands at the location. This strategy alsocreates an opportunity to reduce personnel expenses and administrative expenses, and leverage operating expensesover a larger base of dealerships. We believe this strategy has enabled us to consistently achieve new unit vehiclesales per dealership that are significantly higher than industry averages for most of the brands we sell.

By way of example, our Scottsdale 101 Auto Mall features nine separate showrooms and franchises with over450,000 square feet of facilities. Typically, customers may choose from an inventory of over 1,500 new and usedvehicles, and have access to approximately 226 service bays with the capacity to service approximately 1,000vehicles per day. This campus also features an on/off road test course where customers may experience theuniqueness of the brands offered. We will continue to evaluate other opportunities to aggregate our facilities to reapthe benefits of a destination location.

Expand Revenues at Existing Locations and Increase Higher-Margin Businesses

We aim to increase our existing business by generating additional revenue at existing dealerships, with aparticular focus on developing our higher-margin businesses such as finance, insurance and other products andservice, parts and collision repair services.

Increase Same-Store Sales. We believe our emphasis on improving customer service and upgrading ourfacilities should result in continued increases in same-store sales. As part of the investment program noted above,we added numerous incremental service bays in order to better accommodate our customers.

Grow Finance, Insurance and Other Aftermarket Revenues. Each sale of a vehicle provides us the oppor-tunity to assist in financing the sale, selling the customer a third party extended service contract or insuranceproduct, or selling other aftermarket products, such as entertainment systems, security systems, satellite radios andprotective coatings. In order to improve our finance and insurance business, we focus on enhancing andstandardizing our salesperson training programs, strengthening our product offerings and standardizing our sellingprocess.

Expand Service and Parts and Collision Repair Revenues. In recent years, we have added a significantnumber of service bays at our dealerships in an effort to expand this higher-margin element of our business. Many oftoday’s vehicles are complex and require sophisticated equipment and specially trained technicians to performcertain services. Unlike independent service shops, our dealerships are authorized to perform this work as well aswarranty work for the manufacturers. We believe that our brand-mix and the complexity of today’s vehicles,combined with our focus on customer service and superior facilities, contribute to our service and parts revenueincreases. We also operate 27 collision repair centers which are operated as an integral part of our dealershipoperations. As a result, the repair centers benefit from the dealerships’ repeat and referral business.

Page 12: 31424 WO3 Penske Cov

Continue Growth through Targeted Acquisitions

We believe that attractive acquisition opportunities exist for well-capitalized dealership groups with expe-rience in identifying, acquiring and integrating dealerships. The automotive retail market provides us withsignificant growth opportunities in each of the markets in which we operate. In the U.S., the ten largest industryparticipants generated less than 10% of new vehicle industry sales in 2007. Generally, we seek to acquiredealerships with high growth automotive brands in highly concentrated or rapidly growing demographic areas. Wefocus on larger dealership operations that will benefit from our management assistance, manufacturer relations andscale of operations, as well as individual dealerships that can be effectively integrated into our existing operations.

Diversification Outside the U.S.

One of the unique attributes of our operations versus our peers is our diversification outside the U.S.Approximately 38% of our consolidated revenue during 2007 was generated from operations located outside theU.S. and Puerto Rico, predominately in the United Kingdom. According to industry data, the United Kingdomrepresented the third largest retail automotive market in Western Europe in 2007 with approximately 2.4 millionnew vehicle registrations. Our brand mix in the United Kingdom is predominantly premium. As of December 31,2007, we believe we were the largest or second largest volume Audi, Bentley, BMW, Land Rover, Lexus, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche and Toyota dealer in this market. Additionally, we operate a number of dealerships in Germany, somein the form of joint ventures with experienced local partners, which sell and service Audi, BMW, Lexus, MINI,Toyota, Volkswagen and other premium brands.

Strengthen Customer Loyalty

Our ability to generate and maintain repeat and referral business depends on our ability to deliver superiorcustomer service. We believe that customer loyalty contributes directly to increases in same-store sales. By offeringoutstanding brands in premium facilities, “one-stop” shopping convenience, competitive pricing and a well-trainedand knowledgeable sales staff, we aim to establish lasting relationships with our customers, enhance our reputationin the community, and create the opportunity for significant repeat and referral business. We believe our low andsteadily decreasing employee turnover has been critical to furthering our customer relationships. Additionally, wemonitor customer satisfaction data accumulated by manufacturers to track the performance of dealership operationsand use it as a factor in determining the compensation of general managers and sales and service personnel in ourdealerships.

Maintain Diversified Revenue Stream and Variable Cost Structure

We believe that our diversified revenue mix may mitigate the historical cyclicality found in some elements ofthe automotive sector, and that demand for our higher-margin service and parts business is less affected byeconomic cycles than demand for new vehicles. We are further diversified due to our brand mix and thegeographical dispersion of our dealership operations. In addition, a significant percentage of our operatingexpenses are variable, including sales compensation, floor plan interest expense (inventory-secured financing)and advertising, which we believe we can adjust over time to reflect economic trends.

Leverage Scale and Implement “Best Practices”

We seek to build scale in many of the markets where we have dealership operations. Our desire is to reduce oreliminate redundant operating costs such as accounting, information technology systems and general administrativecosts. In addition, we seek to leverage our industry knowledge and experience to foster communication andcooperation between like brand dealerships throughout our organization. Senior management and dealershipmanagement meet regularly to review the operating performance of our dealerships, examine industry trends and,where appropriate, implement specific operating improvements. Key financial information is discussed andcompared to other dealerships across all markets. This frequent interaction facilitates implementation of successfulstrategies throughout the organization so that each of our dealerships can benefit from the successes of our otherdealerships and the knowledge and experience of our senior management.

smart Distributorship

smart USA Distributor, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary, is the exclusive distributor of the smart fortwovehicle in U.S. and Puerto Rico. The smart fortwo is manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars and is a Daimler brand.This technologically advanced vehicle achieves 40-plus miles per gallon on the highway and is an ultra-lowemissions vehicle as certified by the State of California Air Resources Board. Though launched in the U.S. in 2008,more than 850,000 fortwo vehicles have previously been sold outside the U.S. As distributor, smart USA isresponsible for developing and maintaining a smart vehicle dealership network throughout the U.S. and PuertoRico.

smart USA has certified a network of 68 smart dealerships in 31 states, most of which have received therequisite licensing and other required approvals and are actively selling vehicles. Additional dealerships areexpected to commence retailing vehicles during 2008 upon completion of their facilities and obtaining licensingapproval. Of the 74 dealerships currently planned in the U.S., eight are owned and operated by us (see below“Acquisitions” for a listing of those dealerships). The smart fortwo offers three different versions, the Pure, Passionand Cabriolet with base prices ranging from $11,600 to $16,600. We currently expect to distribute at least 20,000smart fortwo vehicles in 2008.

Industry Overview

The automotive retail industry is among the largest retail trade sectors in each of the markets in which weoperate. In the U.S., the majority of automotive retail sales are generated by approximately 21,800 U.S. franchiseddealerships, producing revenues of approximately $675 billion. Of these $675 billion in U.S. franchised dealerrevenues, new vehicle sales represent approximately 59%, used vehicle sales represent approximately 29% andservice and parts sales represent 12%. Dealerships also offer a wide range of higher-margin products and services,including extended service contracts, financing arrangements and credit insurance. The National AutomobileDealers Association figures noted above include finance and insurance revenues within either new or used vehiclesales as sales of these products are usually incremental with the sale of a vehicle.

Germany and the U.K. represented the first and third largest European automotive retail markets in 2007, withnew car registrations of 3.1 million and 2.4 million vehicles, respectively. In 2006, U.K. and German automotivesales exceeded $260 billion and $330 billion, respectively. Combined, the UK and German markets make upapproximately 35% of the European market, based on new vehicle sales.

The automotive retail industry is highly fragmented and largely privately held in the U.S and Europe, with theU.S. publicly held automotive retail groups accounting for less than 10% of total industry revenue. According toindustry data, the number of U.S. franchised dealerships has declined from approximately 24,000 in 1990 toapproximately 21,800 as of January 1, 2007. Although significant consolidation has already taken place, theindustry remains highly fragmented, with more than 90% of the U.S. industry’s market share remaining in the handsof smaller regional and independent players. We believe that further consolidation in the industry is probable due tothe significant capital requirements of maintaining manufacturer facility standards and the limited number of viablealternative exit strategies for dealership owners.

Generally, new vehicle unit sales are cyclical and, historically, fluctuations have been influenced by factorssuch as manufacturer incentives, interest rates, fuel prices, unemployment, inflation, weather, the level of personaldiscretionary spending, credit availability, consumer confidence and other general economic factors. However,from a profitability perspective, automotive retailers have historically been less vulnerable than automobilemanufacturers to declines in new vehicle sales. We believe this may be due to the retailers’ more flexible expensestructure (a significant portion of the automotive retail industry’s costs are variable, relating to sales personnel,advertising and inventory finance cost) and diversified revenue stream. In addition, automobile manufacturers mayincrease dealer incentives when sales are slow, which further increases the volatility in profitability for automobilemanufacturers and may help to decrease volatility for automotive retailers.

Management. Each dealership or group of dealerships has independent operational and financial manage-ment responsible for day-to-day operations. We believe experienced local managers are better qualified to makeday-to-day decisions concerning the successful operation of a dealership and can be more responsive to ourcustomers’ needs. We seek local dealership management that not only has experience in the automotive industry,but also is familiar with the local dealership’s market. We also have regional management that oversees operationsat the individual dealerships and supports the dealerships operationally and administratively.

New Vehicle Retail Sales. In 2007, we sold 195,160 new vehicles which generated 59.1% of our retailrevenue and 30.7% of our retail gross profit. We sell over forty brands of domestic and import family, sports andpremium cars, light trucks and sport utility vehicles through 315 franchises in 18 U.S. states, Puerto Rico, the U.K.and Germany. As of February 1, 2008, we sold the following brands: Acura, Alpina, Aston Martin, Audi, BMW,Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Dodge, Ferrari, Ford, GMC Truck, Honda, HUMMER, Hyundai, Infiniti,Jaguar, Jeep, Lamborghini, Land Rover, Lexus, Lincoln-Mercury, Lotus, Mazda, Maserati, Mercedes-Benz, MINI,Nissan, Pontiac, Porsche, Rolls Royce, Bentley, SAAB, Scion, smart, Subaru, Suzuki, Toyota, Volvo andVolkswagen.

New vehicles are typically acquired by dealerships directly from the manufacturer. We strive to maintainoutstanding relations with the automotive manufacturers, based in part on our long-term presence in the automotiveretail market, our commitment to providing premium facilities, the reputation of our management team and the

8

Page 17: 31424 WO3 Penske Cov

consistent high sales volume from our dealerships. Our dealerships finance the purchase of new vehicles from themanufacturers through floor plan financing provided by various manufacturers’ captive finance companies.

Used Vehicle Retail Sales. In 2007, we sold 102,214 used vehicles, which generated 26.5% of our retailrevenue and 13.1% of our retail gross profit. We acquire used vehicles from various sources including, auctionsopen only to authorized new vehicle dealers, public auctions, trade-ins in connection with new purchases and leaseexpirations or terminations. Leased vehicles returned at the end of the lease provide us with low mileage, late modelvehicles for our used vehicle sales operations. We clean, repair and recondition all used vehicles we acquire forresale. We believe we may benefit from the opportunity to retain used vehicle retail customers as service and partscustomers. In addition, we offer for sale third-party extended service contracts on all of our used vehicles.

To improve customer confidence in our used vehicle inventory, each of our dealerships participates in allavailable manufacturer certification processes for used vehicles. If certification is obtained, the used vehicle owneris typically provided benefits and warranties similar to those offered to new vehicle owners by the applicablemanufacturer. We believe growth opportunities relating to used vehicle sales exist in part because of the availabilityof high-quality, low-mileage, late model used vehicles, along with the proliferation of manufacturer certificationprocesses for these vehicles.

We have also recently implemented additional initiatives designed to enhance our used vehicles sales. Severalof our dealerships are piloting the use of software which assists in the procurement and sales process relating to usedvehicles.

Through our scale in many markets, we have implemented closed-bid auctions that allow us to bring a largenumber of vehicles we do not intend to retail to a central market for other dealers or wholesalers to purchase. In theU.K., we also offer used vehicles for sale via an online auction. We believe these strategies have resulted in greateroperating efficiency and helped to reduce costs associated with maintaining optimal inventories.

Vehicle Finance, Extended Service and Insurance Sales. Finance and insurance sales represented 2.4% ofour retail revenue and 15.1% of our retail gross profit in 2007. At our customers’ option, our dealerships can arrangethird-party financing or leasing for our customers’ vehicle purchases. As compensation we typically receive aportion of the cost of financing or leasing paid by the customer for each transaction. While these services aregenerally non-recourse to us, we are subject to chargebacks in certain circumstances such as default under afinancing arrangement or prepayment. These chargebacks vary by finance product but typically are limited to thefee income we receive absent a breach of our agreement with the third party finance or leasing company. We providetraining to our finance and insurance personnel to help assure compliance with internal policies and procedures, aswell as applicable state regulations. We also impose limits on the amount of revenue per transaction we may receivefrom certain finance products as part of our compliance efforts.

We offer our customers various vehicle warranty and extended protection products, including extended servicecontracts, maintenance programs, guaranteed auto protection (known as “GAP,” this protection covers the shortfallbetween a customer’s loan balance and insurance payoff in the event of a casualty), lease “wear and tear” insuranceand theft protection products at competitive prices. The extended service contracts and other products that ourdealerships currently offer to customers are underwritten by independent third parties, including the vehiclemanufacturers’ captive finance subsidiaries. We also are subject to chargebacks in connection with the sale ofcertain of these products. We also offer for sale other aftermarket products, such as Sirius Satellite Radio, cellularphones, security systems and protective coatings.

Service and Parts Sales. Service and parts sales represented 11.9% of our retail revenue and 41.1% of ourretail gross profit in 2007. We generate service and parts sales for warranty and non-warranty work performed ateach of our dealerships. Our service and parts revenues have increased each year, we believe in large part due to ourincreased service capacity, coupled with the increasingly complex technology used in vehicles which makes itdifficult for independent repair facilities to maintain and repair today’s automobiles. As part of our agreements withour manufacturers, we obtain all the necessary equipment required by the manufacturer to service and maintaineach make of vehicle sold at each of our dealerships.

A goal of each of our dealerships is to make each vehicle purchaser a customer of our service and partsdepartment. Our dealerships keep detailed records of our customers’ maintenance and service histories, and many

9

Page 18: 31424 WO3 Penske Cov

dealerships send reminders to customers when vehicles are due for periodic maintenance or service. Many of ourdealerships have extended evening and weekend service hours for the convenience for our customers. We alsooperate 27 collision repair centers, each of which is operated as an integral part of our dealership operations.

Internet Presence. The majority of our customers will consult the Internet for new and pre-owned auto-motive information. In order to attract customers and enhance our customer service, each of our dealershipsmaintain their own website. Our corporate website, www.penskeautomotive.com, provides a link to each of ourdealership websites allowing consumers to source information and communicate directly with our dealershipslocally.

In the U.S., all of our dealership websites are presented in common formats (except where otherwise requiredby manufacturers) which helps to minimize costs and provide a consistent image across dealerships. In addition,many automotive manufacturers’ websites provide links to our dealership websites.

Using our dealership websites, consumers can review our inventory for vehicles that meet their model andfeature requirements and price range. Our websites provide detailed information for the purchase process, includingphotos, prices, promotions, specifications, reviews, tools to schedule service appointments and financial appli-cations. We believe these features make it easier for consumers to meet all of their automotive research needs.Customers can contact dedicated Internet sales consultants on line via www.penskeautomotive.com or thedealership websites.

Management Information Systems

We consolidate financial, accounting and operational data received from our U.S. dealers through a privatecommunications network. Dealership data is gathered and processed through individual dealer systems utilizing acommon dealer management system. Each dealership is allowed to tailor the operational capabilities of that systemlocally, but we require that they follow our standardized accounting procedures. Our U.S. network allows us toextract and aggregate information from the system in a consistent format to generate consolidating financial andoperational data. The system also allows us to access detailed information for each dealership individually, as agroup, or on a consolidated basis. Information we can access includes, among other things, inventory, cash, unitsales, the mix of new and used vehicle sales and sales of aftermarket products and services. Our ability to access thisdata allows us to continually analyze these dealerships’ operating results and financial position so as to identifyareas for improvement. Our technology also enables us to quickly integrate dealerships or dealership groups weacquire in the U.S.

Our foreign dealership financial, accounting and operational data is processed through dealer managementsystems provided by a number of local software providers. Financial and operational information is aggregatedfollowing U.S. policies and accounting requirements, and is reported in our U.S. reporting format to ensureconsistency of results among our worldwide operations. Similar to the U.S., the U.K. technology enables us toquickly integrate dealerships or dealership groups we acquire in the U.K.

Marketing

We believe that our marketing programs have contributed to our sales growth. Our advertising and marketingefforts are focused at the local market level, with the aim of building our retail vehicle business, as well as repeatsales and service business. We utilize many different media for our marketing activities, including newspapers,direct mail, magazines, television, radio and the Internet. We also assist our local management in running specialmarketing events to generate sales. Automobile manufacturers supplement our local and regional advertising effortsby producing large advertising campaigns to support their brands, promote attractive financing packages and drawtraffic to local area dealerships. We believe that in some instances our scale has enabled us to obtain favorable termsfrom suppliers and advertising media, and should enable us to realize continued cost savings in marketing. In aneffort to realize increased efficiencies, we are focusing on common marketing metrics and business practices acrossour dealerships, as well as negotiating enterprise arrangements for targeted marketing resources.

Agreements with Vehicle Manufacturers

Each of our dealerships operates under separate franchise agreements with the manufacturers of each brand ofvehicle sold at that dealership. These agreements contain provisions and standards governing almost every aspect of

13

Page 22: 31424 WO3 Penske Cov

the dealership, including ownership, management, personnel, training, maintenance of minimum working capitaland in some cases net worth, maintenance of minimum lines of credit, advertising and marketing, facilities, signs,products and services, acquisitions of other dealerships (including restrictions on how many dealerships can beacquired or operated in any given market), maintenance of minimum amounts of insurance, achievement ofminimum customer service standards and monthly financial reporting. Typically, the dealership principal and/or theowner of a dealership may not be changed without the manufacturer’s consent.

In exchange for complying with these provisions and standards, we are granted the non-exclusive right to sellthe manufacturer’s brand of vehicles and related parts and services at our dealerships. The agreements also grant usa non-exclusive license to use each manufacturer’s trademarks, service marks and designs in connection with oursales and service of its brands at our dealerships.

Many agreements grant the manufacturer a security interest in the vehicles and/or parts sold by themanufacturer to the dealership as well as other dealership assets. Some of our franchise agreements expire aftera specified period of time, ranging from one to five years. The agreements also permit the manufacturer to terminateor not renew the agreement for a variety of causes, including failure to adequately operate the dealership, insolvencyor bankruptcy, impairment of the dealer’s reputation or financial standing, changes in the dealership’s management,owners or location without consent, sales of the dealership’s assets without consent, failure to maintain adequateworking capital or floor plan financing, changes in the dealership’s financial or other condition, failure to submitrequired information to the manufacturer on a timely basis, failure to have any permit or license necessary to operatethe dealership, and material breaches of other provisions of the agreement. In the U.S., these termination rights aresubject to applicable state franchise laws that limit a manufacturer’s right to terminate a franchise. In the U.K., weoperate without such local franchise law protection (see below “Regulation”) and we are aware of efforts by certainmanufacturers not to renew their franchise agreements with certain other retailers in the U.K.

Our agreements with manufacturers usually give the manufacturers the right, in some circumstances(including upon a merger, sale, or change of control of the company, or in some cases a material change inour business or capital structure), to acquire from us, at fair market value, the dealerships that sell the manufac-turers’ brands. For example, our agreement with General Motors Corporation provides that, upon a proposed sale of20% or more of our voting stock to any other person or entity (other than for passive investment) or anothermanufacturer, an extraordinary corporate transaction (such as a merger, reorganization or sale of a material amountof assets) or a change of control of our board of directors, General Motors has the right to acquire at fair marketvalue, all assets, properties and business of any General Motors dealership owned by us. In addition, General Motorshas a right of first refusal if we propose to sell any of our General Motors dealerships to a third party. Some of ouragreements with other major manufacturers contain provisions similar to the General Motors provisions. Some ofthe agreements also prohibit us from pledging, or impose significant limitations on our ability to pledge, the capitalstock of some of our subsidiaries to lenders.

Competition

For new vehicle sales, we compete primarily with other franchised dealers in each of our marketing areas. Wedo not have any cost advantage in purchasing new vehicles from manufacturers, and typically we rely on ourpremium facilities, advertising and merchandising, management experience, sales expertise, service reputation andthe location of our dealerships to sell new vehicles. Each of our markets may include a number of well-capitalizedcompetitors that also have extensive automobile dealership managerial experience and strong retail locations andfacilities. In addition, we compete against automotive manufacturers in some retail markets.

We compete with dealers that sell the same brands of new vehicles that we sell and with dealers that sell otherbrands of new vehicles that we do not represent in a particular market. Our new vehicle dealership competitors havefranchise agreements with the various vehicle manufacturers and, as such, generally have access to new vehicles onthe same terms as us. In recent years, automotive dealers have also faced increased competition in the sale of newvehicles from on-line purchasing services and warehouse clubs. Due to lower overhead and sales costs, thesecompanies may be willing to offer products at lower prices than franchised dealers.

14

Page 23: 31424 WO3 Penske Cov

For used vehicle sales, we compete with other franchised dealers, independent used vehicle dealers, auto-mobile rental agencies, on-line purchasing services, private parties and used vehicle “superstores” for theprocurement and resale of used vehicles.

We believe that the principal competitive factors in vehicle sales are the marketing campaigns conducted bymanufacturers, the ability of dealerships to offer a wide selection of the most popular vehicles, the location ofdealerships and the quality of customer experience. Other competitive factors include customer preference forparticular brands of automobiles, pricing (including manufacturer rebates and other special offers) and warranties.We believe that our dealerships are competitive in all of these areas.

We compete with other franchised dealers to perform warranty repairs and with other automotive dealers,franchised and non-franchised service center chains, and independent garages for non-warranty repair and routinemaintenance business. We compete with other automotive dealers, service stores and auto parts retailers in our partsoperations. We believe that the principal competitive factors in parts and service sales are price, the use of factory-approved replacement parts, facility location, the familiarity with a manufacturer’s brands and models and thequality of customer service. A number of regional or national chains offer selected parts and services at prices thatmay be lower than our prices.

According to various industry sources, the automotive retail industry in the U.S. is currently served byapproximately 21,800 franchised automotive dealerships, over 50,000 independent used vehicle dealerships andindividual consumers who sell used vehicles in private transactions. Several other companies have establishednational or regional automotive retail chains. Additionally, vehicle manufacturers have historically engaged in theretail sale and service of vehicles, either independently or in conjunction with their franchised dealerships, and maydo so on an expanded basis in the future, subject to various state laws that restrict or prohibit manufacturerownership of dealerships.

We believe that a growing number of consumers are utilizing the Internet, to differing degrees, in connectionwith the purchase of vehicles. Accordingly, we may face increased pressure from on-line automotive websites,including those developed by automobile manufacturers and other dealership groups. Consumers use the Internet tocompare prices for vehicles and related services, which may result in reduced margins for new vehicles, usedvehicles and related services.

Employees and Labor Relations

As of December 31, 2007, we employed approximately 15,800 people, approximately 500 of whom werecovered by collective bargaining agreements with labor unions. We consider our relations with our employees to besatisfactory. Our policy is to motivate our key managers through, among other things, variable compensationprograms tied principally to dealership profitability and our equity incentive compensation plans. Due to ourreliance on vehicle manufacturers, we may be adversely affected by labor strikes or work stoppages at themanufacturers’ facilities.

Regulation

We operate in a highly regulated industry. A number of regulations affect our business of marketing, selling,financing and servicing automobiles. We actively make efforts to assure compliance with these regulations. Underthe laws of the jurisdictions in which we currently operate or into which we may expand, we typically must obtain alicense in order to establish, operate or relocate a dealership or operate an automotive repair service, includingdealer, sales, finance and insurance-related licenses issued by relevant authorities. These laws also regulate ourconduct of business, including our advertising, operating, financing, employment and sales practices. Other lawsand regulations include franchise laws and regulations, extensive laws and regulations applicable to new and usedmotor vehicle dealers, as well as wage-hour, anti-discrimination and other employment practices laws.

Our operations may also be subject to consumer protection laws. These laws typically require a manufactureror dealer to replace a new vehicle or accept it for a full refund within a period of time after initial purchase if thevehicle does not conform to the manufacturer’s express warranties and the dealer or manufacturer, after a

15

Page 24: 31424 WO3 Penske Cov

reasonable number of attempts, is unable to correct or repair the defect. Various laws also require various writtendisclosures to be provided on new vehicles, including mileage and pricing information.

Our financing activities with customers are subject to truth-in-lending, consumer leasing equal creditopportunity and similar regulations as well as motor vehicle finance laws, installment finance laws, insurancelaws, usury laws and other installment sales laws. Some jurisdictions regulate finance fees that may be paid as aresult of vehicle sales. In recent years, private plaintiffs and state attorneys general in the U.S. have increased theirscrutiny of advertising, sales, and finance and insurance activities in the sale and leasing of motor vehicles.

In the U.S., we also benefit from the protection of numerous state dealer laws that generally provide that amanufacturer may not terminate or refuse to renew a franchise agreement unless it has first provided the dealer withwritten notice setting forth good cause and stating the grounds for termination or non-renewal. Some state dealerlaws allow dealers to file protests or petitions or to attempt to comply with the manufacturer’s criteria within thenotice period to avoid the termination or non-renewal. Europe generally does not have these laws and, as a result,our European dealerships operate without these protections.

In 2003, the European Commission approved changes to its regulatory landscape by limiting automotivemanufacturers “block exemption” to certain anti-competitive rules in regards to establishing and maintaining aretail network. The principal changes were designed to allow existing manufacturer authorized retailers to relocateor add additional facilities throughout the European Union, offer multiple brands in the same facility, allow theoperation of service facilities independent of new car sales facilities and ease restrictions on transfers of dealershipsbetween existing franchisees within the European Union. We continue to monitor the actual effects of these rulechanges for our dealerships in European Union (including the U.K.).

Environmental Matters

We are subject to a wide range of environmental laws and regulations, including those governing dischargesinto the air and water, the operation and removal of aboveground and underground storage tanks, the use, handling,storage and disposal of hazardous substances and other materials and the investigation and remediation ofcontamination. As with automotive dealerships generally, and service, parts and body shop operations in particular,our business involves the generation, use, handling and contracting for recycling or disposal of hazardous or toxicsubstances or wastes, including environmentally sensitive materials such as motor oil, waste motor oil and filters,transmission fluid, antifreeze, refrigerant, waste paint and lacquer thinner, batteries, solvents, lubricants, degreasingagents, gasoline and diesel fuels. Similar to many of our competitors, we have incurred and will continue to incur,capital and operating expenditures and other costs in complying with such laws and regulations.

Our operations involving the management of hazardous and other environmentally sensitive materials aresubject to numerous requirements. Our business also involves the operation of storage tanks containing suchmaterials. Storage tanks are subject to periodic testing, containment, upgrading and removal under applicable law.Furthermore, investigation or remediation may be necessary in the event of leaks or other discharges from current orformer underground or aboveground storage tanks. In addition, water quality protection programs govern certaindischarges from some of our operations. Similarly, certain air emissions from our operations, such as auto bodypainting, may be subject to relevant laws. Various health and safety standards also apply to our operations.

We may also have liability in connection with materials that were sent to third-party recycling, treatment,and/or disposal facilities under the U.S. Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act,or CERCLA, and comparable statutes. These statutes impose liability for investigation and remediation ofcontamination without regard to fault or the legality of the conduct that contributed to the contamination.Responsible parties under these statutes may include the owner or operator of the site where the contaminationoccurred and companies that disposed or arranged for the disposal of the hazardous substances released at thesesites.

We believe that we do not have any material environmental liabilities and that compliance with environmentallaws and regulations will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our results ofoperations, financial condition or cash flows. However, soil and groundwater contamination is known to exist atcertain of our current or former properties. Further, environmental laws and regulations are complex and subject to

16

Page 25: 31424 WO3 Penske Cov

change. In addition, in connection with our acquisitions, it is possible that we will assume or become subject to newor unforeseen environmental costs or liabilities, some of which may be material. Compliance with current,amended, new or more stringent laws or regulations, stricter interpretations of existing laws or the future discoveryof environmental conditions could require additional expenditures by us, and such expenditures could be material.

Insurance

Due to the nature of the automotive retail industry, automotive retail dealerships generally require significantlevels of insurance covering a broad variety of risks. The business is subject to substantial risk of property loss due tothe significant concentration of property values at dealership locations, including vehicles and parts. Other potentialliabilities arising out of our operations involve claims by employees, customers or third parties for personal injury orproperty damage and potential fines and penalties in connection with alleged violations of regulatory requirements.

We purchase insurance, including umbrella and excess insurance policies, subject to specified deductibles andsignificant loss retentions. The level of risk we retain may change in the future as insurance market conditions orother factors affecting the economics of purchasing insurance change. We are exposed to uninsured and under-insured losses, that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or cashflows. In certain instances, we post letters of credit to support our loss retentions and deductibles. We and PenskeCorporation, which is our largest stockholder, have entered into a joint insurance agreement which provides that,with respect to our joint insurance policies (which includes our property policy), available coverage with respect to aloss shall be paid to each party as stipulated in the policies. In the event of losses by us and Penske Corporation thatexceed the limit of liability for any policy or policy period, the total policy proceeds will be allocated based on theratio of premiums paid. For information regarding our relationship with Penske Corporation, see Part II — Item 7 —“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Related PartyTransactions.”

Seasonality

Our business is modestly seasonal overall. Our U.S. operations generally experience higher volumes of vehiclesales in the second and third quarters of each year due in part to consumer buying trends and the introduction of newvehicle models. Also, vehicle demand, and to a lesser extent demand for service and parts, is generally lower duringthe winter months than in other seasons, particularly in regions of the U.S. where dealerships may be subject tosevere winters. Our U.K. operations generally experience higher volumes of vehicle sales in the first and thirdquarters of each year, due primarily to vehicle registration practices in the U.K. In the U.K., vehicles sold afterMarch and September of each year reflect a later date of sale, decreasing their perceived residual value.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Risks Relating to Automotive Manufacturers

Automotive manufacturers exercise significant control over our operations and we depend on them inorder to operate our business.

Each of our dealerships operates under franchise agreements with automotive manufacturers or relateddistributors. We are dependent on automotive manufacturers because, without a franchise agreement, we cannotoperate a new vehicle franchise or perform manufacturer authorized service.

Manufacturers exercise a great degree of control over the operations of our dealerships. For example,manufacturers can require our dealerships to meet specified standards of appearance, require individual dealershipsto meet specified financial criteria such as maintenance of minimum net working capital and, in some cases,minimum net worth, impose minimum customer service and satisfaction standards, set standards regarding themaintenance of vehicle and parts inventories, restrict the use of manufacturers’ names and trademarks and, in manycases, must consent to the replacement of the dealership principal.

Our franchise agreements may be terminated or not renewed by automotive manufacturers for a variety ofreasons, including unapproved changes of ownership or management and other material breaches of the franchiseagreements. We have, from time to time, not been compliant with various provisions of some of our franchiseagreements. Our operations in the U.K. operate without local franchise law protection (see above “Regulation”),and we are aware of efforts by certain manufacturers not to renew their franchise agreements with certain otherretailers in the U.K. Although we believe that we will be able to renew at expiration all of our existing franchiseagreements, if any of our significant existing franchise agreements or a large number of franchise agreements arenot renewed or the terms of any such renewal are materially unfavorable to us, our results of operations, financialcondition or cash flows could be materially adversely affected. In addition, actions taken by manufacturers toexploit their bargaining position in negotiating the terms of renewals of franchise agreements or otherwise couldalso materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

While U.S. franchise laws give us limited protection in selling a manufacturer’s product within a givengeographic area, our franchise agreements do not give us the exclusive right to sell vehicles within a given area. In2003, the European Commission approved changes to its regulatory landscape by limiting automotive manufac-turers “block exemption” to certain anti-competitive rules in regards to establishing and maintaining a retailnetwork. The principal changes were designed to allow existing manufacturer authorized retailers to relocate or addadditional facilities throughout the European Union, offer multiple brands in the same facility, allow the operationof service facilities independent of new car sales facilities and ease restrictions on transfers of dealerships betweenexisting franchisees within the European Union. While we continue to monitor the actual effects of these rulechanges for our dealerships in European Union (including the U.K.), these rules could increase competition byfacilitating the opening of additional dealerships near our dealerships. If a significant number of new dealerships areopened near our existing dealerships, our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows could be materiallyaffected.

We depend on manufacturers to provide us with a desirable mix of popular new vehicles, which tends toproduce the highest profit margins. Manufacturers generally allocate their vehicles among dealerships based on thesales history of each dealership. Our inability to obtain sufficient quantities of the most popular models, whetherdue to sales declines at our dealerships or otherwise, could materially adversely affect our results of operations,financial condition or cash flows.

Our volumes and profitability may be adversely affected if automotive manufacturers reduce or discon-tinue their incentive programs.

Our dealerships depend on the manufacturers for sales incentives, warranties and other programs that promoteand support vehicle sales at our dealerships. Some of these programs include customer rebates, dealer incentives,special financing or leasing terms and warranties. Manufacturers frequently change their incentive programs. Ifmanufacturers reduce or discontinue incentive programs, our results of operations, financial condition or cash flowscould be materially adversely affected.

18

Page 27: 31424 WO3 Penske Cov

Adverse conditions affecting one or more automotive manufacturers may negatively impact our revenuesand profitability.

Our success depends on the overall success of the line of vehicles that each of our dealerships sells. As a result,our success depends to a great extent on the automotive manufacturers’ financial condition, marketing, vehicledesign, production and distribution capabilities, reputation, management and labor relations. For 2007, BMW/MINI, Toyota/Lexus brands, Honda/Acura and Daimler brands accounted for 22%, 20%, 15% and 11%, respec-tively, of our total revenues. A significant decline in the sale of new vehicles manufactured by these manufacturers,or the loss or deterioration of our relationships with one or more of these manufacturers, could materially adverselyaffect our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. No other manufacturer accounted for more than10% of our total revenues for 2007.

Events such as labor strikes that may adversely affect a manufacturer may also materially adversely affect us,especially if these events were to interrupt the supply of vehicles or parts to us. Similarly, the delivery of vehiclesfrom manufacturers at a time later than scheduled, which may occur particularly during periods of new productintroductions, has led, and in the future could lead, to reduced sales during those periods. In addition, any event thatcauses adverse publicity involving one or more automotive manufacturers or their vehicles may materiallyadversely affect our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Our failure to meet manufacturers’ consumer satisfaction requirements may adversely affect us.

Many manufacturers measure customers’ satisfaction with their sales and warranty service experiencesthrough systems that are generally known as customer satisfaction indices, or CSI. Manufacturers sometimes use adealership’s CSI scores as a factor in evaluating applications for additional dealership acquisitions. Certain of ourdealerships have had difficulty from time to time in meeting their manufacturers’ CSI standards. We may be unableto meet these standards in the future. A manufacturer may refuse to consent to a franchise acquisition by us if ourdealerships do not meet their CSI standards. This could materially adversely affect our acquisition strategy. Inaddition, because we receive payments from the manufacturers based in part on CSI scores, future payments couldbe materially reduced or eliminated if our CSI scores decline.

Automotive manufacturers impose limits on our ability to issue additional equity and on the ownership ofour common stock by third parties, which may hamper our ability to meet our financing needs.

A number of manufacturers impose restrictions on the sale and transfer of our common stock. The mostprohibitive restrictions provide that, under specified circumstances, we may be forced to sell or surrender franchises(1) if a competing automotive manufacturer acquires a 5% or greater ownership interest in us or (2) if an individualor entity that has a criminal record in connection with business dealings with any automotive manufacturer,distributor or dealer or who has been convicted of a felony acquires a 5% or greater ownership interest in us. Further,several manufacturers have the right to approve the acquisition by a third party of 20% or more of our commonstock, and a number of manufacturers continue to prohibit changes in ownership that may affect control of ourcompany.

Actions by our stockholders or prospective stockholders that would violate any of the above restrictions aregenerally outside our control. If we are unable to obtain a waiver or relief from these restrictions, we may be forcedto terminate or sell one or more franchises, which could materially adversely affect our results of operations,financial condition or cash flows. These restrictions also may prevent or deter prospective acquirers from acquiringcontrol of us and, therefore, may adversely impact the value of our common stock. These restrictions also mayimpede our ability to raise required capital or our ability to acquire dealership groups using our common stock mayalso be inhibited.

19

Page 28: 31424 WO3 Penske Cov

Risks Relating to our Acquisition Strategy

Growth in our revenues and earnings depends substantially on our ability to acquire and successfullyoperate new dealerships.

While we expect to acquire new dealerships, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to identify and acquireadditional dealerships in the future. Moreover, acquisitions involve a number of risks, including:

• integrating the operations and personnel of the acquired dealerships;

• operating in new markets with which we are not familiar;

• incurring unforeseen liabilities at acquired dealerships;

• disruption to our existing business;

• failure to retain key personnel of the acquired dealerships;

• impairment of relationships with employees, manufacturers and customers; and

• incorrectly valuing acquired entities.

In addition, integrating acquired dealerships into our existing mix of dealerships may result in substantialcosts, diversion of our management resources or other operational or financial problems. Unforeseen expenses,difficulties and delays frequently encountered in connection with the integration of acquired entities and the rapidexpansion of operations could inhibit our growth, result in our failure to achieve acquisition synergies and require usto focus resources on integration rather than other more profitable areas. Acquired entities may subject us tounforeseen liabilities that we did not detect prior to completing the acquisition, or liabilities that turn out to begreater than those we had expected. These liabilities may include liabilities that arise from non-compliance withenvironmental laws by prior owners for which we, as a successor owner, will be responsible.

We may be unable to identify acquisition candidates that would result in the most successful combinations, orcomplete acquisitions on acceptable terms on a timely basis. The magnitude, timing, pricing and nature of futureacquisitions will depend upon various factors, including the availability of suitable acquisition candidates, thenegotiation of acceptable terms, our financial capabilities, the availability of skilled employees to manage theacquired companies and general economic and business conditions. Further, we may need to borrow funds tocomplete future acquisitions, which funds may not be available. Furthermore, we have sold and may in the futuresell dealerships based on numerous factors, which may impact our future revenues and earnings, particularly if wedo not make acquisitions to replace such revenues and earnings.

Manufacturers’ restrictions on acquisitions may limit our future growth.

Our future growth via acquisition of automotive dealerships will depend on our ability to obtain the requisitemanufacturer approvals. The relevant manufacturer must consent to any franchise acquisition and it may notconsent in a timely fashion or at all. In addition, under many franchise agreements or under local law, amanufacturer may have a right of first refusal to acquire a dealership that we seek to acquire.

Certain manufacturers limit the total number of their dealerships that we may own in a particular geographicarea and, in some cases, the total number of their vehicles that we may sell as a percentage of that manufacturer’soverall sales. Manufacturers may also limit the ownership of stores in contiguous markets and the dueling of afranchise with another brand. To date, we have only reached national ceilings with one manufacturer and havereached certain geographical limitations with several manufacturers. If additional manufacturers impose or expandthese types of restrictions, our acquisition strategy and results of operations, financial condition or cash flows couldbe materially adversely affected.

20

Page 29: 31424 WO3 Penske Cov

Other Business Risks

Our business is susceptible to adverse economic conditions, including changes in consumer confidence,fuel prices and credit availability.

We believe that the automotive retail industry is influenced by general economic conditions and particularly byconsumer confidence, the level of personal discretionary spending, interest rates, fuel prices, weather conditions,unemployment rates and credit availability. For some finance borrowers, credit availability has recently beenrestricted as compared to prior years. If credit availability generally were to be restricted, our results of operationscould be materially adversely affected as many of our retail sales customers purchase vehicles using credit. Fuelprices are currently higher as compared to recent years. If fuel prices continue to increase, vehicle demand could beadversely affected which could materially adversely affect our results of operations. Historically, unit sales of motorvehicles, particularly new vehicles, have been cyclical, fluctuating with general economic cycles.

During economic downturns, new vehicle retail sales tend to experience periods of decline characterized byoversupply and weak demand. The automotive retail industry may experience sustained periods of decline invehicle sales in the future. Any decline or change of this type could materially adversely affect our results ofoperations, financial condition or cash flows.

Some of our operations are regionally concentrated such as those in Arizona, California, the NortheasternU.S. and the United Kingdom. Adverse regional economic and competitive conditions in these areas couldmaterially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Substantial competition in automotive sales and services may adversely affect our profitability.

The automotive retail industry is highly competitive. Depending on the geographic market, we compete with:

• franchised automotive dealerships in our markets that sell the same or similar new and used vehicles that weoffer;

• private market buyers and sellers of used vehicles;

• Internet-based vehicle brokers that sell vehicles obtained from franchised dealers directly to consumers;

• vehicle rental companies that sell their used rental vehicles;

• service center chain stores; and

• independent service and repair shops.

In addition, we compete against automotive manufacturers in some retail markets, which may negatively affectour results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. Some of our competitors may have greater financial,marketing and personnel resources and lower overhead and sales costs than us. We do not have any cost advantageover other franchised automotive dealerships in purchasing new vehicles from the automotive manufacturers.

In addition to competition for vehicle sales, our dealerships compete with franchised dealerships to performwarranty repairs and with other automotive dealers, independent service center chains, independent garages andothers, for non-warranty repair, routine maintenance and parts business. A number of regional or national chainsoffer selected parts and services at prices that may be lower than our dealerships’ prices. We also compete with abroad range of financial institutions in arranging financing for our customers’ vehicle purchases.

The Internet is a significant part of the sales process in our industry. We believe that customers are using theInternet to compare pricing for cars and related finance and insurance services, which may reduce gross profitmargins for new and used cars and profits generated from the sale of finance and insurance products. Some websitesoffer vehicles for sale over the Internet without the benefit of having a dealership franchise, although they mustcurrently source their vehicles from a franchised dealer. If Internet new vehicle sales are allowed to be conductedwithout the involvement of franchised dealers, or if dealerships are able to effectively use the Internet to sell outsideof their markets, our business could be materially adversely affected. We could also be materially adversely affectedto the extent that Internet companies acquire dealerships or ally themselves with our competitors’ dealerships.

21

Page 30: 31424 WO3 Penske Cov

Our distribution of the smart fortwo is a new business for us whose profitability is unproven.

We are incurring costs to develop processes, systems and strategies to distribute the smart fortwo vehicle in theU.S. and Puerto Rico. The wholesale distribution of vehicles is new to us and involves developing and successfullyimplementing processes and strategies different from that currently used in our automotive retail operations. Inconnection with this effort, our senior management has devoted substantial time and effort and we hired a team ofemployees. During 2007, the cost of these employees and efforts associated with developing the smart distributionbusiness negatively impacted our earnings. If our efforts are not successful, or we incur unforeseen costs, our resultsof operations, financial condition or cash flows may be materially adversely affected.

Our capital costs and our results of operations may be adversely affected by a rising interest rateenvironment.

We finance our purchases of new and, to a lesser extent, used vehicle inventory using floor plan financingarrangements under which we are charged interest at floating rates. In addition, we obtain capital for generalcorporate purposes, dealership acquisitions and real estate purchases and improvements under predominantlyfloating interest rate credit facilities. Therefore, excluding the potential mitigating effects from interest rate hedgingtechniques, our interest expenses will rise with increases in interest rates. Rising interest rates may also have theaffect of depressing demand in the interest rate sensitive aspects of our business, particularly new and used vehiclessales, because many of our customers finance their vehicle purchases. As a result, rising interest rates may have theaffect of simultaneously increasing our costs and reducing our revenues, which could materially adversely affectour results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Our substantial indebtedness may limit our ability to obtain financing for acquisitions and may requirethat a significant portion of our cash flow be used for debt service.

We have a substantial amount of indebtedness. As of December 31, 2007, we had approximately $844.6 millionof total non-floor plan debt outstanding and $1.6 billion of floor plan notes payable outstanding. In addition, wehave additional debt capacity under our credit facilities.

Our substantial debt could have important consequences. For example, it could:

• make it more difficult for us to obtain additional financing in the future for our acquisitions and operations,working capital requirements, capital expenditures, debt service or other general corporate requirements;

• require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations to repay debt and relatedinterest rather than other areas of our business;

• limit our operating flexibility due to financial and other restrictive covenants, including restrictions onincurring additional debt, creating liens on our properties, making acquisitions or paying dividends;

• place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt; and

• make us more vulnerable in the event of adverse economic or industry conditions or a downturn in ourbusiness.

Our ability to meet our debt service obligations depends on our future performance, which will be impacted bygeneral economic conditions and by financial, business and other competitive factors, many of which are beyondour control. These factors could include operating difficulties, increased operating costs, the actions of competitors,regulatory developments and delays in implementing our growth strategies. Our ability to meet our debt service andother obligations may depend on our success in implementing our business strategies. We may not be able toimplement our business strategies and the anticipated results of our strategies may not be realized.

If our business does not generate sufficient cash flow from operations or future sufficient borrowings are notavailable to us, we might not be able to service our debt or to fund our other liquidity needs. If we are unable toservice our debt, we may have to delay or cancel acquisitions, sell equity securities, sell assets or restructure orrefinance our debt. If we are unable to service our debt, we may not be able to pursue these options on a timely basis

22

Page 31: 31424 WO3 Penske Cov

or on satisfactory terms or at all. In addition, the terms of our existing or future franchise agreements, agreementswith manufacturers or debt agreements may prohibit us from adopting any of these alternatives.

Our inability to raise capital, if needed, could adversely affect us.

We require substantial capital in order to acquire and renovate automotive dealerships. This capital might beraised through public or private financing, including through the issuance of debt or equity securities, sale-leaseback transactions and other sources. Availability under our credit agreements may be limited by the covenantsand conditions of those facilities. We may not be able to raise additional funds. If we raise additional funds byissuing equity securities, dilution to then existing stockholders may result.

If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to significantly curtail our acquisition and renovationprograms, which could materially and adversely affect our growth strategy.

We depend to a significant extent on our ability to finance the purchase of inventory in the form of floor planfinancing. Floor plan financing is financing from a vehicle manufacturer secured by the vehicles we sell. Ourdealerships borrow money to buy a particular vehicle from the manufacturer and pay off the floor plan financingwhen they sell the particular vehicle, paying interest during the interim period. Our floor plan financing is securedby substantially all of the assets of our automotive dealership subsidiaries. Our remaining assets are pledged tosecure our credit facilities. This may impede our ability to borrow from other sources. Most of our floor plan lendersare associated with manufacturers with whom we have franchise agreements. Consequently, the deterioration of ourrelationship with a manufacturer could adversely affect our relationship with the affiliated floor plan lender and viceversa. Any inability to obtain floor plan financing on customary terms, or the termination of our floor plan financingarrangements by our floor plan lenders, could materially adversely affect our results of operations, financialcondition or cash flows.

Shares eligible for future sale may cause the market price of our common stock to drop significantly,even if our business is doing well.

The potential for sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market may have a materialadverse effect on our stock price. In addition, the amount of equity securities that we issue in connection withacquisitions and renovations could be significant resulting in dilution to you or adversely affecting our stock price.The majority of our outstanding shares are held by two shareholders, each of whom has registration rights that couldresult in a substantial number of shares being sold in the market. Moreover, these shares could be resold at any timesubject to the volume limitations under Rule 144. In addition, we also have reserved for issuance a significantnumber of shares relating to our 3.5% convertible senior subordinated notes which, if issued, may result insubstantial dilution to you or adversely effect our stock price. Finally, we have a significant amount of authorizedbut unissued shares that, if issued, could materially adversely effect our stock price.

Property loss, business interruptions or other liabilities at some of our dealerships could impact our oper-ating results.

The automotive retail business is subject to substantial risk of property loss due to the significant concentrationof property values at dealership locations, including vehicles and parts. We have historically experienced businessinterruptions at several of our dealerships due to adverse weather conditions or other extraordinary events, such aswild fires in California or hurricanes in Florida. Other potential liabilities arising out of our operations involveclaims by employees, customers or third parties for personal injury or property damage and potential fines andpenalties in connection with alleged violations of regulatory requirements. To the extent we experience futuresimilar events, our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows may be materially adversely impacted.

If we lose key personnel or are unable to attract additional qualified personnel, our business could beadversely affected.

We believe that our success depends to a significant extent upon the efforts and abilities of our executivemanagement and key employees, including, in particular, Roger S. Penske, our Chairman and Chief ExecutiveOfficer. Additionally, our business is dependent upon our ability to continue to attract and retain qualified

23

Page 32: 31424 WO3 Penske Cov

personnel, such as managers, as well as retaining dealership management in connection with acquisitions. Wegenerally have not entered into employment agreements with our key personnel. The loss of the services of one ormore members of our senior management team, including, in particular, Roger S. Penske, could have a materialadverse effect on us and materially impair the efficiency and productivity of our operations. We do not have key maninsurance for any of our executive officers or key personnel. The loss of any of our key employees or the failure toattract qualified managers could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate due to seasonality and other factors.

The automotive industry typically experiences seasonal variations in vehicle revenues. Demand for automo-biles in the U.S. is generally lower during the winter months than in other seasons, particularly in regions of theU.S. that may have severe winters. In the U.S., a higher number of vehicle sales generally occur in the second andthird quarters of each year, due in part to consumer buying trends and the introduction of new vehicle models. Inaddition, the U.K. retail automotive industry typically experiences peak sales activity during March and Septemberof each year. This seasonality results from the perception in the United Kingdom that the resale value of a vehiclemay be determined by the date that the vehicle is registered. Because new vehicle registration periods begin onMarch 1 and September 1 each year, vehicles with comparable mileage that were registered in March may have anequivalent used vehicle value to vehicles registered in August of the same year.

Therefore, if conditions exist during these periods that depress or affect automotive sales, such as high fuelcosts, depressed economic conditions or similar adverse conditions, our revenues for the year may be dispropor-tionately adversely affected.

Our business may be adversely affected by import product restrictions and foreign trade risks that mayimpair our ability to sell foreign vehicles profitably.

A significant portion of our new vehicle business involves the sale of vehicles, vehicle parts or vehiclescomposed of parts that are manufactured outside the region in which they are sold. As a result, our operations aresubject to customary risks associated with imported merchandise, including fluctuations in the relative value ofcurrencies, import duties, exchange controls, differing tax structures, trade restrictions, transportation costs, workstoppages and general political and economic conditions in foreign countries.

The locations in which we operate may, from time to time, impose new quotas, duties, tariffs or otherrestrictions, or adjust presently prevailing quotas, duties or tariffs on imported merchandise. Any of thoseimpositions or adjustments could materially affect our operations and our ability to purchase imported vehiclesand parts at reasonable prices, which could materially adversely affect our business.

We are subject to substantial regulation, claims and legal proceedings, any of which could adverselyaffect our profitability.

A number of regulations affect our business of marketing, selling, financing, distributing and servicingautomobiles. Under the laws of states in U.S. locations in which we currently operate, we typically must obtain alicense in order to establish, operate or relocate a dealership or operate an automotive repair service, includingdealer, sales, finance and insurance-related licenses. These laws also regulate our conduct of business, including ouradvertising, operating, financing, employment and sales practices. In addition, our foreign operations are subject tosimilar regulations in their respective jurisdictions.

Our financing activities with customers are subject to truth-in-lending, consumer leasing, equal creditopportunity and similar regulations as well as motor vehicle finance laws, installment finance laws, insurancelaws, usury laws and other installment sales laws. Some jurisdictions regulate finance fees that may be paid as aresult of vehicle sales. In recent years, private plaintiffs and state attorneys general in the U.S. have increased theirscrutiny of advertising, sales, and finance and insurance activities in the sale and leasing of motor vehicles. Theseactivities have led many lenders to limit the amounts that may be charged to customers as fee income for theseactivities. If these or similar activities were significantly to restrict our ability to generate revenue from arrangingfinancing for our customers, we could be adversely affected.

24

Page 33: 31424 WO3 Penske Cov

We could also be susceptible to claims or related actions if we fail to operate our business in accordance withapplicable laws. Claims arising out of actual or alleged violations of law may be asserted against us or any of ourdealers by individuals, either individually or through class actions, or by governmental entities in civil or criminalinvestigations and proceedings. Such actions may expose us to substantial monetary damages and legal defensecosts, injunctive relief and criminal and civil fines and penalties, including suspension or revocation of our licensesand franchises to conduct dealership operations.

We are involved in legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business including litigation with customersregarding our products and services, and expect to continue to be subject to claims related to our existing businessand any new business. A significant judgment against us, the loss of a significant license or permit or the impositionof a significant fine could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and future prospects.

If state dealer laws in the U.S. are repealed or weakened, our dealership franchise agreements will bemore susceptible to termination, non-renewal or renegotiation.

State dealer laws in the U.S. generally provide that an automotive manufacturer may not terminate or refuse torenew a franchise agreement unless it has first provided the dealer with written notice setting forth good cause andstating the grounds for termination or non-renewal. Some state dealer laws allow dealers to file protests or petitionsor to attempt to comply with the manufacturer’s criteria within the notice period to avoid the termination or non-renewal. Though unsuccessful to date, manufacturers’ lobbying efforts may lead to the repeal or revision of statedealer laws. If dealer laws are repealed in the states in which we operate, manufacturers may be able to terminate ourfranchises without providing advance notice, an opportunity to cure, or a showing of good cause. Without theprotection of state dealer laws, it may also be more difficult for our U.S. dealerships to renew their franchiseagreements upon expiration. Jurisdictions outside the U.S. generally do not have these laws and, as a result, operatewithout these protections.

Our dealerships are subject to environmental regulations that may result in claims and liabilities whichcould be material.

We are subject to a wide range of environmental laws and regulations, including those governing dischargesinto the air and water, the operation and removal of storage tanks and the use, storage and disposal of hazardoussubstances. Our dealerships and service, parts and body shop operations in particular use, store and contract forrecycling or disposal of hazardous materials. Any non-compliance with these regulations could result in significantfines and penalties which could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. Further,investigation or remediation may be necessary in the event of leaks or other discharges from current or formerunderground or aboveground storage tanks.

In the U.S., we may also have liability in connection with materials that were sent to third-party recycling,treatment, and/or disposal facilities under federal and state statutes, which impose liability for investigation andremediation of contamination without regard to fault or the legality of the conduct that contributed to thecontamination. Similar to many of our competitors, we have incurred and will continue to incur, capital andoperating expenditures and other costs in complying with such laws and regulations.

Soil and groundwater contamination is known to exist at some of our current or former properties. Inconnection with our acquisitions, it is possible that we will assume or become subject to new or unforeseenenvironmental costs or liabilities, some of which may be material. In connection with dispositions of businesses, ordispositions previously made by companies we acquire, we may retain exposure for environmental costs andliabilities, some of which may be material. Environmental laws and regulations are complex and subject to change.Compliance with new or more stringent laws or regulations, stricter interpretations of existing laws or the futurediscovery of environmental conditions could require additional expenditures by us which could materiallyadversely affect our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Our principal stockholders have substantial influence over us and may make decisions with which youdisagree.

Penske Corporation through various affiliates beneficially owns 39% of our outstanding common stock. Inaddition, Penske Corporation and its affiliates have entered into a stockholders agreement with our second largeststockholder, Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and one of its affiliates, pursuant to which they have agreed to vote together as to theelection of our directors. Collectively, these two groups beneficially own 55% of our outstanding stock. As a result,these persons have the ability to control the composition of our board of directors and therefore they may be able tocontrol the direction of our affairs and business.

This concentration of ownership, as well as various provisions contained in our agreements with manufac-turers, our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and the Delaware General Corporation Law, could have the affectof discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of us or unsolicited acquisition proposals. Theseprovisions include the stock ownership limits imposed by various manufacturers and our ability to issue “blankcheck” preferred stock and the “interested stockholder” provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware GeneralCorporation Law.

Some of our directors and officers may have conflicts of interest with respect to certain related partytransactions and other business interests.

Some of our executive officers also hold executive positions at other companies affiliated with our largeststockholder. Roger S. Penske, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, is also Chairman and Chief ExecutiveOfficer of Penske Corporation, a diversified transportation services company. Robert H. Kurnick, Jr., our ViceChairman and a director, is also President of Penske Corporation and Hiroshi Ishikawa, our Executive VicePresident — International Business Development and a director, serves in a similar capacity for Penske Corpo-ration. Much of the compensation of these officers is paid by Penske Corporation and not by us, and while theseofficers have historically devoted a substantial amount of their time to our matters, these officers are not required tospend any specific amount of time on our matters. In addition, one of our directors, Richard J. Peters and ourPresident, Roger Penske, Jr., each serves as a director of Penske Corporation. In addition, Penske Corporation ownsPenske Motor Group, a privately held automotive dealership company with operations in southern California.Periodically, we have sold real property and improvements to AGR, a wholly owned subsidiary of PenskeCorporation, which we have then leased. Due to their relationships with these related entities, Messrs. Ishikawa,Kurnick, Penske, Penske, Jr., and Peters may have a conflict of interest in making any decision related totransactions between their related entities and us, or with respect to allocations of corporate opportunities.

Our operations outside the U.S. subject us to foreign currency translation risk and exposure to changesin exchange rates.

In recent years, between 30% and 40% of our revenues have been generated outside the U.S., predominately inthe United Kingdom. As a result, we are exposed to the risks involved in foreign operations, including:

• changes in international tax laws and treaties, including increases of withholding and other taxes onremittances and other payments by subsidiaries;

• tariffs, trade barriers, and restrictions on the transfer of funds between nations;

• changes in international governmental regulations;

• the impact of local economic and political conditions;

• the impact of European Commission regulation and the relationship between the United Kingdom andcontinental Europe; and

• increased competition and the impact from limited franchise protection in Europe.

If our operations outside the U.S. fail to perform as expected, we will be adversely impacted. In addition, ourresults of operations and financial position are reported in local currency and are then translated into U.S. dollars atthe applicable foreign currency exchange rate for inclusion in our consolidated financial statements. As exchange

26

Page 35: 31424 WO3 Penske Cov

rates fluctuate, particularly between the U.S. and U.K., our results of operations as reported in U.S. dollars willfluctuate. For example, if the U.S. dollar were to strengthen against the U.K. pound, one of the results would be thatour U.K. results of operations would translate into less U.S. dollar reported results.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

Not Applicable.

Item 2. Properties

We have historically structured our operations so as to minimize our ownership of real property. As a result, welease or sublease substantially all of our dealerships and other facilities. These leases are generally for a period ofbetween five and 20 years, and are typically structured to include renewal options for an additional five to ten yearsat our election. We lease office space in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, Secaucus, New Jersey, Leicester, England andStuttgart, Germany for our administrative headquarters and other corporate related activities. We believe that ourfacilities are sufficient for our needs and are in good repair.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

We are involved in litigation which may involve issues with customers, employment related matters, classaction claims, purported class action claims and claims brought by governmental authorities. We are not a party toany legal proceedings, including class action lawsuits that, individually or in the aggregate, are reasonably expectedto have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. However, the resultsof these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, and an unfavorable resolution of one or more of these matterscould have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security-Holders

No matter was submitted to a vote of our security holders during the fourth quarter of the year endedDecember 31, 2007.

Dividends. Future quarterly or other cash dividends will depend upon our earnings, capital requirements,financial condition, restrictions in any existing indebtedness and other factors considered relevant by the Board ofDirectors. Our U.S. credit agreement and the indenture governing our 7.75% senior subordinated notes each containcertain limitations on our ability to pay dividends. See Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of FinancialCondition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources.” We are a holding company whose assetsconsist primarily of the direct or indirect ownership of the capital stock of our operating subsidiaries. Consequently,our ability to pay dividends is dependent upon the earnings of our subsidiaries and their ability to distribute earningsand other advances and payments to us. In addition, pursuant to the automobile franchise agreements to which ourdealerships are subject, all dealerships are required to maintain a certain amount of working capital or net worth,which could limit our subsidiaries’ ability to pay us dividends.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations containsforward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from thosediscussed in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those discussed in “Item 1A.Risk Factors.” We have acquired a number of dealerships since inception. Our financial statements include theresults of operations of acquired dealerships from the date of acquisition. This Management’s Discussion andAnalysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations has been updated to reflect the revision of our financialstatements for entities which have been treated as discontinued operations through December 31, 2007 inaccordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairmentor Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, revised to reflect the June 1, 2006 two-for-one split of our voting common stockin the form of a stock dividend, and restated for our adoption of Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 108“Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year FinancialStatements.”

Overview

On July 2, 2007, we changed our corporate name from “United Auto Group, Inc.” to “Penske AutomotiveGroup, Inc.” We are the second largest automotive retailer headquartered in the U.S. as measured by total revenues.As of December 31, 2007, we owned and operated 162 franchises in the U.S. and 145 franchises outside of the U.S.,primarily in the United Kingdom. We offer a full range of vehicle brands with 94% of our total revenue in 2007generated from non-U.S. brands and with sales relating to premium brands, such as Audi, BMW, Cadillac andPorsche, representing 65% of our total revenue.

Each of our dealerships offers a wide selection of new and used vehicles for sale. In addition to selling new andused vehicles, we offer a full range of maintenance and repair services, and we facilitate the placement of third-partyfinance and insurance products, third-party extended service contracts and replacement and aftermarket automotiveproducts. Beginning in 2007, our wholly-owned subsidiary, smart USA Distributor, LLC, became the exclusivedistributor of the smart fortwo vehicle in the U.S. and Puerto Rico.

New and used vehicle revenues include sales to retail customers and to leasing companies providing consumerautomobile leasing. We generate finance and insurance revenues from sales of third-party extended servicecontracts, sales of third-party insurance policies, fees for facilitating the sale of third-party finance and leasecontracts and the sale of certain other products. Service and parts revenues include fees paid for repair, maintenanceand collision services, the sale of replacement parts and the sale of aftermarket accessories.

smart USA Distributor, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary, is the exclusive distributor of the smart fortwovehicle in U.S. and Puerto Rico. The smart fortwo is manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars and is a Daimler brand.This technologically advanced vehicle achieves 40-plus miles per gallon on the highway and is an ultra-lowemissions vehicle as certified by the State of California Air Resources Board. Though launched in the U.S. in 2008,more than 850,000 fortwo vehicles have previously been sold outside the U.S. As distributor, smart USA isresponsible for developing and maintaining a smart vehicle dealership network throughout the U.S. and PuertoRico.

smart USA has certified a network of 68 smart dealerships in 31 states, most of which have received therequisite licensing and other required approvals and are actively selling vehicles. Additional dealerships areexpected to commence retailing vehicles during 2008 upon completion of their facilities and obtaining licensingapproval. Of the 74 dealerships currently planned in the U.S., eight are owned and operated by us. The smart fortwooffers three different versions, the Pure, Passion and Cabriolet with base prices ranging from $11,600 to $16,600.We currently expect to distribute at least 20,000 smart fortwo vehicles in 2008.

We and Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. (“Sirius”) have agreed to jointly promote Sirius Satellite Radio service.Pursuant to the terms of our arrangement with Sirius, our dealerships in the U.S. endeavor to order a significantpercentage of eligible vehicles with a factory installed Sirius radio. We and Sirius have also agreed to jointly marketthe Sirius service under a best efforts arrangement through January 4, 2009. Our costs relating to such marketinginitiatives are expensed as incurred. As compensation for our efforts, we received warrants to purchase ten million

30

Page 39: 31424 WO3 Penske Cov

shares of Sirius common stock at $2.392 per share in 2004 that are being earned ratably on an annual basis throughJanuary 2009. We earned warrants to purchase two million shares in each of 2005, 2006 and 2007. We measure thefair value of the warrants earned ratably on the date they are earned as there are no significant disincentives for non-performance. Since we can reasonably estimate the number of warrants that will be earned pursuant to the ratableschedule, the estimated fair value (based on current fair value) of these warrants is being recognized ratably duringeach annual period.

Through December 31, 2007, we also had the right to earn additional warrants to purchase Sirius commonstock at $2.392 per share based upon the sale of certain units of specified brands. We earned warrants for 189,300,1,269,700 and 522,400 shares during the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Since wecould not reasonably estimate the number of warrants that were earned subject to the sale of units, the fair value ofthese warrants was recognized when they were earned. The value of Sirius stock has been and is expected to besubject to significant fluctuations, which may result in variability in the amount we earn under this arrangement.The warrants may be cancelled upon the termination of our arrangement.

Our gross profit tends to vary with the mix of revenues we derive from the sale of new vehicles, used vehicles,finance and insurance products, and service and parts. Our gross profit generally varies across product lines, withvehicle sales usually resulting in lower gross profit margins and our other revenues resulting in higher gross profitmargins. Factors such as customer demand, general economic conditions, seasonality, weather, credit availability,fuel prices and manufacturers’ advertising and incentives may impact the mix of our revenues, and thereforeinfluence our gross profit margin.

Our selling expenses consist of advertising and compensation for sales personnel, including commissions andrelated bonuses. General and administrative expenses include compensation for administration, finance, legal andgeneral management personnel, rent, insurance, utilities and other outside services. A significant portion of ourselling expenses are variable, and we believe a significant portion of our general and administrative expenses aresubject to our control, allowing us to adjust them over time to reflect economic trends.

Floor plan interest expense relates to financing incurred in connection with the acquisition of new and usedvehicle inventories which is secured by those vehicles. Other interest expense consists of interest charges on all ofour interest-bearing debt, other than interest relating to floor plan financing.

The future success of our business will likely be dependent on, among other things, our ability to consummateand integrate acquisitions, our ability to increase sales of higher margin products, especially service and partsservices, and our ability to realize returns on our significant capital investment in new and upgraded dealerships. See“Item 1A-Risk Factors.”

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in theUnited States of America requires the application of accounting policies that often involve making estimates andemploying judgments. Such judgments influence the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses recognized in ourfinancial statements. Management, on an ongoing basis, reviews these estimates and assumptions. Managementmay determine that modifications in assumptions and estimates are required, which may result in a material changein our results of operations or financial position.

The following are the accounting policies applied in the preparation of our financial statements thatmanagement believes are most dependent upon the use of estimates and assumptions.

Revenue Recognition

Vehicle, Parts and Service Sales

We record revenue when vehicles are delivered and title has passed to the customer, when vehicle service orrepair work is performed and when parts are delivered to our customers. Sales promotions that we offer to customersare accounted for as a reduction of revenues at the time of sale. Rebates and other incentives offered directly to us bymanufacturers are recognized as a reduction of cost of sales. Reimbursement of qualified advertising expenses are

31

Page 40: 31424 WO3 Penske Cov

treated as a reduction of selling, general and administrative expenses. The amounts received under variousmanufacturer rebate and incentive programs are based on the attainment of program objectives, and such earningsare recognized either upon the sale of the vehicle for which the award was received, or upon attainment of theparticular program goals if not associated with individual vehicles. During the year ended December 31, 2007, 2006and 2005, we earned $350.4 million, $271.6 million and $215.8 million, respectively, of rebates, incentives andreimbursements from manufacturers, of which $344.0 million, $265.0 million and $208.4 million was recorded as areduction of cost of sales.

Finance and Insurance Sales

Subsequent to the sale of a vehicle to a customer, we sell our installment sale contracts to various financialinstitutions on a non-recourse basis to mitigate the risk of default. We receive a commission from the lender equal toeither the difference between the interest rate charged to the customer and the interest rate set by the financinginstitution or a flat fee. We also receive commissions for facilitating the sale of various third-party insuranceproducts to customers, including credit and life insurance policies and extended service contracts. These com-missions are recorded as revenue at the time the customer enters into the contract. In the case of finance contracts, acustomer may prepay or fail to pay their contract, thereby terminating the contract. Customers may also terminateextended service contracts and other insurance products, which are fully paid at purchase, and become eligible forrefunds of unused premiums. In these circumstances, a portion of the commissions we received may be chargedback to us based on the terms of the contracts. The revenue we record relating to these transactions is net of anestimate of the amount of chargebacks we will be required to pay. Our estimate is based upon our historicalexperience with similar contracts, including the impact of refinance and default rates on retail finance contracts andcancellation rates on extended service contracts and other insurance products. Aggregate reserves relating tochargeback activity were $19.4 million and $16.9 million as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Changesin reserve estimates relate primarily to an increase in the amount of revenues subject to chargeback.

Intangible Assets

Our principal intangible assets relate to our franchise agreements with vehicle manufacturers, which representthe estimated value of franchises acquired in business combinations, and goodwill, which represents the excess ofcost over the fair value of tangible and identified intangible assets acquired in business combinations. We believethe franchise value of our dealerships has an indefinite useful life based on the following facts:

• Automotive retailing is a mature industry and is based on franchise agreements with the vehiclemanufacturers;

• There are no known changes or events that would alter the automotive retailing franchise environment;

• Certain franchise agreement terms are indefinite;

• Franchise agreements that have limited terms have historically been renewed without substantial cost; and

• Our history shows that manufacturers have not terminated our franchise agreements.

Impairment Testing

Franchise value impairment is assessed as of October 1 every year through a comparison of the carryingamounts of our franchises with their estimated fair values. An indicator of impairment exists if the carrying value ofa franchise exceeds its estimated fair value and an impairment loss may be recognized equal to that excess. We alsoevaluate our franchises in connection with the annual impairment testing to determine whether events andcircumstances continue to support our assessment that the franchise has an indefinite life.

Goodwill impairment is assessed at the reporting unit level as of October 1 every year and upon the occurrenceof an indicator of impairment. An indicator of impairment exists if the carrying amount of the reporting unitincluding goodwill is determined to exceed its estimated fair value. If an indication of impairment exists, theimpairment is measured by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amountof that goodwill and an impairment loss may be recognized equal to that excess.

The fair values of franchise value and goodwill are determined using a discounted cash flow approach, whichincludes assumptions that include revenue and profitability growth, franchise profit margins, residual values and ourcost of capital. If future events and circumstances cause significant changes in the assumptions underlying ouranalysis and result in a reduction of our estimates of fair value, we may incur an impairment charge.

Investments

Investments include marketable securities and investments in businesses accounted for under the equitymethod. A majority of our investments are in joint venture relationships that are more fully described in “JointVenture Relationships” below. Such joint venture relationships are accounted for under the equity method, pursuantto which we record our proportionate share of the joint venture’s income each period.

The net book value of our investments was $64.4 million and $65.5 million as of December 31, 2007 and 2006,respectively. Investments for which there is not a liquid, actively traded market are reviewed periodically bymanagement for indicators of impairment. If an indicator of impairment was identified, management wouldestimate the fair value of the investment using a discounted cash flow approach, which would include assumptionsrelating to revenue and profitability growth, profit margins, residual values and our cost of capital. Declines ininvestment values that are deemed to be other than temporary may result in an impairment charge reducing theinvestments’ carrying value to fair value. During 2007, we recorded an adjustment to the carrying value of ourinvestment in Internet Brands to recognize an other than temporary impairment of $3.4 million which becameapparent upon their initial public offering.

Investments in marketable securities held by us are typically classified as available for sale and are stated at fairvalue on our balance sheet with unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income, a separatecomponent of stockholders’ equity. Declines in investment values that are deemed to be other than temporary wouldbe an indicator of impairment and may result in an impairment charge reducing the investments’ carrying value tofair value.

Self-Insurance

We retain risk relating to certain of our general liability insurance, workers’ compensation insurance, autophysical damage insurance, property insurance, employment practices liability insurance, director’s and officersinsurance and employee medical benefits in the U.S.. As a result, we are likely to be responsible for a majority of theclaims and losses incurred under these programs. The amount of risk we retain varies by program, and, for certainexposures, we have pre-determined maximum loss limits for certain individual claims and/or insurance periods.Losses, if any, above the pre-determined loss limits are paid by third-party insurance carriers. Our estimate of futurelosses is prepared by management using our historical loss experience and industry-based development factors.Aggregate reserves relating to retained risk were $12.8 million and $13.4 million as of December 31, 2007 and2006, respectively. Changes in the reserve estimate during 2007 relate primarily to changes in loss experience.

Income Taxes

Tax regulations may require items to be included in our tax return at different times than the items are reflectedin our financial statements. Some of these differences are permanent, such as expenses that are not deductible on ourtax return, and some are timing differences, such as the timing of depreciation expense. Timing differences createdeferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets generally represent items that will be used as a tax deductionor credit in our tax return in future years which we have already recorded in our financial statements. Deferred taxliabilities generally represent deductions taken on our tax return that have not yet been recognized as expense in ourfinancial statements. We establish valuation allowances for our deferred tax assets if the amount of expected futuretaxable income is not likely to allow for the use of the deduction or credit. Avaluation allowance of $2.3 million hasbeen recorded relating to state net operating loss and credit carryforwards in the U.S. based on our determinationthat it is more likely than not that they will not be utilized.

Classification of Franchises in Continuing and Discontinued Operations

We classify the results of our operations in our consolidated financial statements based on the provisions ofStatement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144 which requires judgment in determining whether afranchise will be reported within continuing or discontinued operations. Such judgments include whether afranchise will be sold or terminated, the period required to complete the disposition, and the likelihood of changes toa plan for sale. If we determine that a franchise should be either reclassified from continuing operations todiscontinued operations or from discontinued operations to continuing operations, our consolidated financialstatements for prior periods are revised to reflect such reclassification.

New Accounting Pronouncements

SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fairvalue in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosure requirements relating to fair valuemeasurements. The FASB provided a one year deferral of the provisions of this pronouncement for non-financialassets and liabilities, however, the relevant provisions of SFAS 157 required by SFAS 159 must be adopted asoriginally scheduled. SFAS 157 thus becomes effective for our non-financial assets and liabilities on January 1,2009. We will continue to evaluate the impact of those elements of this pronouncement.

SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an Amendmentof FASB Statement No. 115” permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain otheritems at fair value and consequently report unrealized gains and losses on such items in earnings. Since we will notelect the fair value option with respect to any of our current financial assets or financial liabilities when theprovisions of this pronouncement become effective for us on January 1, 2008, there will be no impact upon theadoption.

SFAS No. 141(R) “Business Combinations” requires almost all assets acquired and liabilities assumed to berecorded at fair value as of the acquisition date, liabilities related to contingent consideration to be remeasured atfair value in each subsequent reporting period and all acquisition costs in pre-acquisition periods to be expensed.The pronouncement also clarifies the accounting under various scenarios such as step purchases or where the fairvalue of assets and liabilities acquired exceeds the consideration. SFAS 141(R) will be effective for us on January 1,2009. We are currently evaluating the impact of this pronouncement.

SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements an Amendment of ARBNo. 51” clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary must be measured at fair value and classified as aseparate component of equity. This pronouncement also outlines the accounting for changes in a parent’s ownershipin a subsidiary. SFAS 160 will be effective for us on January 1, 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact of thispronouncement.

Results of Operations

The following tables present comparative financial data relating to our operating performance in the aggregateand on a “same-store” basis. Dealership results are included in same-store comparisons when we have consolidatedthe acquired entity during the entirety of both periods being compared. As an example, if a dealership was acquiredon January 15, 2006, the results of the acquired entity would be included in annual same-store comparisonsbeginning with the year ended December 31, 2008 and in quarterly same-store comparisons beginning with thequarter ended June 30, 2007.

2007 compared to 2006 and 2006 compared to 2005 (in millions, except unit and per unit amounts)

Our results for the year ended December 31, 2007 include charges of $18.6 million ($12.3 million after-tax)relating to the redemption of the $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 9.625% Senior Subordinated Notesand $6.3 million ($4.5 million after-tax) relating to impairment losses. In addition, our results for the year endedDecember 31, 2005 include $8.2 million ($5.2 million after-tax), or $0.06 per share, of earnings attributable to thesale of all the remaining variable profits relating to the pool of extended service contracts sold at our dealershipsfrom 2001 through 2005.

Revenues

Service and parts revenue increased $185.1 million, or 15.1%, from 2006 to 2007 and increased $205.0 million,or 20.0%, from 2005 to 2006. The increase from 2006 to 2007 is due to an $85.3 million, or 7.4%, increase in same-store revenues, coupled with a $99.8 million increase from net dealership acquisitions during the year. The increase

38

Page 47: 31424 WO3 Penske Cov

from 2005 to 2006 is due to a $72.8 million, or 7.3%, increase in same-store revenues, coupled with a $132.2 millionincrease from net dealership acquisitions during the year. We believe that our service and parts business is beingpositively impacted by the growth in total retail unit sales at our dealerships in recent years and capacity increases inour service and parts operations resulting from our facility improvement and expansion programs.

Gross Profit

Service and parts gross profit increased $112.0 million, or 16.5%, from 2006 to 2007 and increased$119.1 million, or 21.3%, from 2005 to 2006. The increase from 2006 to 2007 is due to a $58.4 million, or9.1%, increase in same-store gross profit, coupled with a $53.6 million increase from net dealership acquisitionsduring the year. The same-store gross profit increase is due to the $85.3 million, or 7.4%, increase in revenues,which increased gross profit by $47.8 million, and a 1.6% increase in gross margin percentage, which increasedgross profit by $10.6 million. The increase from 2005 to 2006 is due to a $47.0 million, or 8.6%, increase in same-store gross profit, coupled with a $72.1 million increase from net dealership acquisitions during the year. The same-store gross profit increase is due to the $72.8 million, or 7.3%, increase in revenues, which increased gross profit by$40.1 million, and a 1.3% increase in gross margin percentage, which increased gross profit by $6.9 million.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased $194.6 million, or 14.6%, from 2006 to2007 and increased $201.2 million, or 17.7%, from 2005 to 2006. The aggregate increase from 2006 to 2007 is dueto an $84.0 million, or 6.7%, increase in same-store SG&A expenses, coupled with a $110.6 million increase fromnet dealership acquisitions during the year. The aggregate increase in SG&A expenses from 2005 to 2006 is due to a$59.9 million, or 5.4%, increase in same-store SG&A expenses, coupled with a $141.3 million increase from netdealership acquisitions during the year. The increase in same-store SG&A expenses is due in large part to(1) increased variable selling expenses, including increases in variable compensation, as a result of the 6.6% and4.5% increase in retail gross profit over the prior year in 2007 and 2006, respectively, (2) increased rent and relatedcosts in both years due in part to our facility improvement and expansion program and (3) increased advertising andpromotion caused by the overall competitiveness of the retail vehicle market. SG&A expenses as a percentage oftotal revenue were 11.8%, 12.0% and 11.9% in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and as a percentage of grossprofit were 79.6%, 79.4% and 78.2% in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization increased $7.8 million, or 18.1%, from 2006 to 2007 and increased $5.8 million,or 15.5%, from 2005 to 2006. The increase from 2006 to 2007 is due to a $5.2 million, or 12.7%, increase in same-store depreciation and amortization, coupled with a $2.6 million increase from net dealership acquisitions duringthe year. The increase from 2005 to 2006 is due to a $3.5 million increase from net dealership acquisitions during theyear, coupled with a $2.3 million, or 6.3%, increase in same-store depreciation and amortization. The same-storeincreases in both periods are due in large part to our facility improvement and expansion program.

Floor Plan Interest Expense

Floor plan interest expense increased $14.9 million, or 25.0%, from 2006 to 2007 and increased $13.5 million,or 29.3%, from 2005 to 2006. The increase from 2006 to 2007 is due to an $8.1 million, or 14.3%, increase in same-store floor plan interest expense, coupled with a $6.8 million increase from net dealership acquisitions during theyear. The increase from 2005 to 2006 is due to an $8.0 million, or 17.6%, increase in same-store floor plan interestexpense, coupled with a $5.5 million increase from net dealership acquisitions during the year. Floor plan interestexpense was negatively impacted in 2007 by an increase in our average floor plan notes outstanding. Floor planinterest expense was negatively impacted in 2006 by an increase in our weighted average borrowing rate dueprimarily to increases in the applicable benchmark rates of our revolving floor plan arrangements.

Page 48: 31424 WO3 Penske Cov

Other Interest Expense

Other interest expense increased $7.1 million, or 14.4%, from 2006 to 2007 and increased $0.2 million, or0.3%, from 2005 to 2006. The increase from 2006 to 2007 is due to an increase in average total outstandingindebtedness in 2007 compared to 2006, offset by a decrease in our weighted average borrowing rate. The decreasein our weighted average borrowing rate was due primarily to the issuance of $375.0 million of 7.75% SeniorSubordinated Notes on December 7, 2006 which was used to redeem our 9.625% Senior Subordinated Notes inMarch 2007. The increase from 2005 to 2006 is due to an increase in average total outstanding indebtedness in 2006compared to 2005, offset by a decrease in our weighted average borrowing rate. The decrease in our weightedaverage borrowing rate was due primarily to the issuance of $375.0 million of 3.5% Convertible Senior Subor-dinated Notes on January 31, 2006 the proceeds of which were used to repay higher-rate debt under our creditagreement.

Income Taxes

Income taxes decreased $1.6 million, or 2.3%, from 2006 to 2007 and increased $0.4 million, or 0.6%, from2005 to 2006. The decrease from 2006 to 2007 is due primarily to a decrease in pre-tax income. Our effectiveincome tax rate in 2007 benefited from an increase in the relative proportion of our U.K. operations, which are taxedat a lower rate, but was higher on a comparative basis to the prior year due to tax savings from certain tax planninginitiatives that benefited the prior year. The increase from 2005 to 2006 is due primarily to an increase in pre-taxincome being more than offset by a reduction in our effective income tax rate due to an increase in the relativecontribution to earnings of our U.K. operations, which are taxed at a lower rate, and tax savings from certain taxplanning initiatives.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash requirements are primarily for working capital, inventory financing, the acquisition of newdealerships, the improvement and expansion of existing facilities, the construction of new facilities, and dividends.Historically, these cash requirements have been met through cash flow from operations, borrowings under our creditagreements and floor plan arrangements, the issuance of debt securities, sale-leaseback transactions and theissuance of equity securities. As of December 31, 2007, we had working capital of $205.6 million, including$10.9 million of cash, available to fund our operations and capital commitments. In addition, we had $250.0 millionand £68.8 million ($136.7 million) available for borrowing under our U.S. credit agreement and our U.K. creditagreement, respectively, each of which is discussed below.

We paid the following dividends in 2006 and 2007:

Per Share Dividends

2006 : First Quarter $0.06 2007: First Quarter $0.07

Second Quarter 0.07 Second Quarter 0.07

Third Quarter 0.07 Third Quarter 0.07

Fourth Quarter 0.07 Fourth Quarter 0.09

We have also declared a cash dividend on our common stock of $0.09 cents per share payable on March 3, 2008to shareholders of record on February 11, 2008. Future quarterly or other cash dividends will depend upon ourearnings, capital requirements, financial condition, restrictions on any then existing indebtedness and other factorsconsidered relevant by our Board of Directors.

We have expanded our retail automotive operations primarily through organic growth and through theacquisition of retail automotive dealerships. In addition, one of our subsidiaries is the exclusive distributor of smartfortwo vehicles in the U.S. and Puerto Rico. We believe that cash flow from operations and our existing capitalresources, including the liquidity provided by our credit agreements and floor plan financing arrangements, will besufficient to fund our operations and commitments for at least the next twelve months. To the extent we pursueadditional significant acquisitions, other expansion opportunities, or refinance existing debt, we may need to raiseadditional capital either through the public or private issuance of equity or debt securities or through additionalborrowings, which sources of funds may not necessarily be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

40

Page 49: 31424 WO3 Penske Cov

Our board of directors has approved a stock repurchase program for up to $150 million of our outstandingcommon stock. We may, from time to time as market conditions warrant, purchase our outstanding common stockthrough open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions and other means. We currently intend to fundany repurchases through cash flow from operations and borrowings under our U.S. credit facility. The decision tomake stock repurchases will be based on such factors as the market price of our common stock versus our view of itsintrinsic value, the potential impact on our capital structure and the expected return on competing uses of capitalsuch as strategic store acquisitions and capital investments in our current businesses, as well as any then-existinglimits imposed by our finance agreements.

Inventory Financing

We finance substantially all of our new and a portion of our used vehicle inventories under revolving floor planarrangements with various lenders. In the U.S., the floor plan arrangements are due on demand; however, we aregenerally not required to make loan principal repayments prior to the sale of the vehicles financed. We typicallymake monthly interest payments on the amount financed. In the U.K., substantially all of our floor planarrangements are payable on demand or have an original maturity of 90 days or less and we are generally requiredto repay floor plan advances at the earlier of the sale of the vehicles financed or the stated maturity. The floor planagreements grant a security interest in substantially all of the assets of our dealership subsidiaries. Interest ratesunder the floor plan arrangements are variable and increase or decrease based on changes in various benchmarks.We receive non-refundable credits from certain of our vehicle manufacturers, which are treated as a reduction ofcost of sales as vehicles are sold.

U.S. Credit Agreement

We are party to a credit agreement with DCFS USA LLC and Toyota Motor Credit Corporation, as amended,which provides for up to $250.0 million of borrowing capacity for working capital, acquisitions, capital expen-ditures, investments and for other general corporate purposes, including $10.0 million of availability for letters ofcredit, through September 30, 2010. The revolving loans bear interest at defined London Interbank Offered Rate(“LIBOR”) plus 1.75%.

The U.S. credit agreement is fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by our domesticsubsidiaries and contains a number of significant covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability to disposeof assets, incur additional indebtedness, repay other indebtedness, pay dividends, create liens on assets, makeinvestments or acquisitions and engage in mergers or consolidations. We are also required to comply with specifiedfinancial and other tests and ratios, each as defined in the U.S. credit agreement, including: a ratio of current assetsto current liabilities, a fixed charge coverage ratio, a ratio of debt to stockholders’ equity, a ratio of debt to earningsbefore interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), a ratio of domestic debt to domestic EBITDA,and a measurement of stockholders’ equity. A breach of these requirements would give rise to certain remediesunder the agreement, the most severe of which is the termination of the agreement and acceleration of the amountsowed. As of December 31, 2007, we were in compliance with all covenants under the U.S. credit agreement, and webelieve we will remain in compliance with such covenants for the foreseeable future. In making such determination,we have considered the current margin of compliance with the covenants and our expected future results ofoperations, working capital requirements, acquisitions, capital expenditures and investments. See “ForwardLooking Statements”.

The U.S. credit agreement also contains typical events of default, including change of control, non-payment ofobligations and cross-defaults to our other material indebtedness. Substantially all of our domestic assets notpledged as security under floor plan arrangements are subject to security interests granted to lenders under theU.S. credit agreement. Other than $0.5 million of outstanding letters of credit, no amounts were outstanding underthe U.S. credit agreement as of December 31, 2007.

U.K. Credit Agreement

Our subsidiaries in the U.K. are party to an agreement with the Royal Bank of Scotland plc, as agent forNational Westminster Bank plc, which provides for a multi-option credit agreement, a fixed rate credit agreement

41

Page 50: 31424 WO3 Penske Cov

and a seasonally adjusted overdraft line of credit to be used to finance acquisitions, working capital, and generalcorporate purposes. The U.K. credit agreement provides for (1) up to £70.0 million in revolving loans throughAugust 31, 2011, which have an original maturity of 90 days or less and bear interest between defined LIBOR plus0.65% and defined LIBOR plus 1.25%, (2) a £30.0 million funded term loan which bears interest between 5.94%and 6.54% and is payable ratably in quarterly intervals through June 30, 2011, and (3) a seasonally adjustedoverdraft line of credit for up to £30.0 million that bears interest at the Bank of England Base Rate plus 1.00% andmatures on August 31, 2011.

The U.K. credit agreement is fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by our U.K.subsidiaries, and contains a number of significant covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of our U.K.subsidiaries to pay dividends, dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, repay other indebtedness, create lienson assets, make investments or acquisitions and engage in mergers or consolidations. In addition, our U.K.subsidiaries are required to comply with specified ratios and tests, each as defined in the U.K. credit agreement,including: a ratio of earnings before interest and taxes plus rental payments to interest plus rental payments (asdefined), a measurement of maximum capital expenditures, and a debt to EBITDA ratio (as defined). A breach ofthese requirements would give rise to certain remedies under the agreement, the most severe of which is thetermination of the agreement and acceleration of the amounts owed. As of December 31, 2007, we were incompliance with all covenants under the U.K. credit agreement, and we believe we will remain in compliance withsuch covenants for the foreseeable future. In making such determination, we have considered the current margin ofcompliance with the covenants and our expected future results of operations, working capital requirements,acquisitions, capital expenditures and investments in the U.K. See “Forward Looking Statements”.

The U.K. credit agreement also contains typical events of default, including change of control and non-payment of obligations and cross-defaults to other material indebtedness of our U.K. subsidiaries. Substantially allof our U.K. subsidiaries’ assets not pledged as security under floor plan arrangements are subject to securityinterests granted to lenders under the U.K. credit agreement. As of December 31, 2007, outstanding loans under theU.K. credit agreement amounted £45.9 million ($91.3 million).

7.75% Senior Subordinated Notes

On December 7, 2006 we issued $375.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.75% Senior SubordinatedNotes due 2016 (the “7.75% Notes”). The 7.75% Notes are unsecured senior subordinated notes and are subordinateto all existing and future senior debt, including debt under our credit agreements and floor plan indebtedness. The7.75% Notes are guaranteed by substantially all wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries on a senior subordinated basis.We can redeem all or some of the 7.75% Notes at our option beginning in December 2011 at specified redemptionprices, or prior to December 2011 at 100% of the principal amount of the notes plus an applicable “make-whole”premium, as defined. In addition, we may redeem up to 40% of the 7.75% Notes at specified redemption pricesusing the proceeds of certain equity offerings before December 15, 2009. Upon certain sales of assets or specifickinds of changes of control, we are required to make an offer to purchase the 7.75% Notes. The 7.75% Notes alsocontain customary negative covenants and events of default. As of December 31, 2007, we were in compliance withall negative covenants and there were no events of default.

Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes

On January 31, 2006, we issued $375.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.50% Senior SubordinatedConvertible Notes due 2026 (the “Convertible Notes”). The Convertible Notes mature on April 1, 2026, unlessearlier converted, redeemed or purchased by us. The Convertible Notes are unsecured senior subordinatedobligations and are guaranteed on an unsecured senior subordinated basis by substantially all of our whollyowned domestic subsidiaries. The Convertible Notes also contain customary negative covenants and events ofdefault. As of December 31, 2007, we were in compliance with all negative covenants and there were no events ofdefault.

Holders of the convertible notes may convert them based on a conversion rate of 42.2052 shares of ourcommon stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes (which is equal to an initial conversion price ofapproximately $23.69 per share), subject to adjustment, only under the following circumstances: (1) in any

42

Page 51: 31424 WO3 Penske Cov

quarterly period commencing after March 31, 2006, if the closing price of our common stock for twenty of the lastthirty trading days in the prior quarter exceeds $28.43 (subject to adjustment), (2) for specified periods, if the tradingprice of the Convertible Notes falls below specific thresholds, (3) if the Convertible Notes are called for redemption,(4) if specified distributions to holders of our common stock are made or specified corporate transactions occur,(5) if a fundamental change (as defined) occurs, or (6) during the ten trading days prior to, but excluding, thematurity date.

Upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, for each $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes, a holderwill receive an amount in cash, in lieu of shares of our common stock, equal to the lesser of (i) $1,000 or (ii) theconversion value, determined in the manner set forth in the indenture covering the Convertible Notes, of the numberof shares of common stock equal to the conversion rate. If the conversion value exceeds $1,000, we will also deliver,at our election, cash, common stock or a combination of cash and common stock with respect to the remaining valuedeliverable upon conversion.

In the event of a conversion due to a change of control on or before April 6, 2011, we will pay, to the extentdescribed in the indenture, a make-whole premium by increasing the conversion rate applicable to such ConvertibleNotes. In addition, we will pay contingent interest in cash, commencing with any six-month period from April 1 toSeptember 30 and from October 1 to March 31, beginning on April 1, 2011, if the average trading price of aConvertible Note for the five trading days ending on the third trading day immediately preceding the first day of thatsix-month period equals 120% or more of the principal amount of the Convertible Note.

On or after April 6, 2011, we may redeem the Convertible Notes, in whole at any time or in part from time totime, for cash at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plusany accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable redemption date. Holders of the Convertible Notes may require usto purchase all or a portion of their Convertible Notes for cash on April 1, 2011, April 1, 2016 or April 1, 2021 at apurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be purchased, plus accrued andunpaid interest, if any, to the applicable purchase date.

9.625% Senior Subordinated Notes

In March 2007, we redeemed our outstanding $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 9.625% seniorsubordinated notes due 2012 (the “9.625% Notes”). The 9.625% Notes were unsecured senior subordinated notesand were subordinate to all existing senior debt, including debt under our credit agreements and floor planindebtedness. We incurred an $18.6 million pre-tax charge in connection with the redemption, consisting of a$14.4 million redemption premium and the write-off of $4.2 million of unamortized deferred financing costs.

Share Repurchase

On January 26, 2006, we repurchased 1.0 million shares of our outstanding common stock for $19.0 million, or$18.96 per share. These shares and all other shares held as treasury stock were retired during the second quarter of2007.

Interest Rate Swaps

In January 2008, we entered into new three year interest rate swap agreements pursuant to which the LIBORportion of $300.0 million of our U.S. floating rate floor plan debt was fixed at 3.67%. This arrangement is in effectthrough January 2011. We may terminate this arrangement at any time, subject to the settlement at that time of thefair value of the swap arrangement. The swap is designated as a cash flow hedge of future interest payments ofLIBOR based U.S. floor plan borrowings.

We were party to an interest rate swap agreement that expired in January 2008 pursuant to which a notional$200.0 million of our U.S. floating rate debt was exchanged for fixed rate debt. The swap was designated as a cashflow hedge of future interest payments of LIBOR based U.S. floor plan borrowings. As of December 31, 2007, weexpect approximately $0.02 million associated with the swap to be recognized as a reduction of interest expense inJanuary of 2008.

Other Financing Arrangements

We have in the past and expect in the future to enter into significant sale-leaseback transactions to financecertain property acquisitions and capital expenditures, pursuant to which we sell property and/or leaseholdimprovements to third-parties and agree to lease those assets back for a certain period of time. Such sales generateproceeds which vary from period to period.

The Convertible Notes are convertible into shares of our common stock, at the option of the holder, based oncertain conditions described above. Certain of these conditions are linked to the market value of our common stock.This type of financing arrangement was selected by us in order to achieve a more favorable interest rate (as opposedto other forms of available financing). Since we or the holders of the Convertible Notes can redeem these notes onApril 2011, a conversion or a redemption of these notes is likely to occur in 2011. Such redemption conversion willinclude cash for the principal amount of the Convertible Notes then outstanding plus an amount payable in eithercash or stock, at our option, depending on the trading price of our common stock.

Cash Flows

Cash and cash equivalents increased by $5.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2006, and decreasedby $2.3 and $9.2 million during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2005, respectively. The major componentsof these changes are discussed below.

Cash Flows from Continuing Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities was $310.1 million, $116.1 million and $169.8 million during the yearsended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Cash flows from operating activities include net incomeadjusted for non-cash items and the effects of changes in working capital.

We finance substantially all of our new and a portion of our used vehicle inventories under revolving floor plannotes payable with various lenders. In accordance with the guidance under SFAS No. 95, “Statement of CashFlows”, we report all cash flows arising in connection with floor plan notes payable to the manufacturer of aparticular new vehicle as an operating activity in our statement of cash flows and all cash flows arising in connectionwith floor plan notes payable to a party other than the manufacturer of a particular new vehicle and all floor plannotes payable relating to pre-owned vehicles as a financing activity in our statement of cash flows. However, webelieve that changes in aggregate floor plan liabilities are typically linked to changes in vehicle inventory and,therefore, are an integral part of understanding changes in our working capital and operating cash flow. As a result,we have presented the following reconciliation of cash flow from operating activities as reported in our condensedconsolidated statement of cash flows as if all changes in vehicle floor plan were classified as an operating activityfor informational purposes:

Cash Flows from Continuing Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities was $228.4 million, $488.0 million and $223.2 million during the years endedDecember 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Cash flows from investing activities consist primarily of cash usedfor capital expenditures, proceeds from sale-leaseback transactions and net expenditures for dealership acquisi-tions. Capital expenditures were $195.0 million, $224.0 million and $216.1 million during the years endedDecember 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Capital expenditures relate primarily to improvements to ourexisting dealership facilities and the construction of new facilities. Proceeds from sale-leaseback transactions were$131.8 million, $106.2 million and $118.5 million during the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005,

44

respectively. Cash used in business acquisitions, net of cash acquired, was $180.7 million, $370.2 million and$125.6 million during the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and included repayments ofseller’s floor plan notes payable of $51.9 million, $113.4 million and $44.7 million, respectively. The year endedDecember 31, 2007 also includes $15.5 million of proceeds of other investing activities.

Cash Flows from Continuing Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities was $441.2 million and $1.1 million during the years ended Decem-ber 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and cash used in financing activities was $180.9 million during the year endedDecember 31, 2007. Cash flows from financing activities include borrowings and repayments of long-term debt, netborrowings or repayments of floor plan notes payable non-trade, proceeds from the issuance of common stock,including proceeds from the exercise of stock options, repurchases of common stock and dividends. During the yearended December 31, 2006 we issued $750.0 million of subordinated debt and we paid $17.2 million of financingcosts. Proceeds of the $750.0 million of subordinated debt issuance were used to repurchase one million shares ofour common stock and to repay debt. This activity, combined with borrowing to fund acquisition and other liquidityrequirements, resulted in net repayments of long-term debt of $211.1 million during the year ended December 31,2006 and allowed us to redeem our 9.625% Notes in early 2007 for $314.4 million, including redemption premiumof $14.4 million. In addition to these activities, we had other net repayments of long-term debt of $34.2 million and$2.4 million during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2005, respectively. We had net borrowings of floor plannotes payable non-trade of $193.5 and $14.9 million during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2005,respectively, and net repayments of floor plan notes payable non-trade of $54.4 million during the year endedDecember 31, 2006. During the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, we received proceeds of$2.6 million, $18.1 million and $4.7 million, respectively, from exercises of options for common stock. During theyears ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, we paid $28.4 million, $25.2 million and $20.8 million,respectively, of cash dividends to our stockholders.

Cash Flows from Discontinued Operations

Cash flows relating to discontinued operations are not currently considered, nor are they expected to beconsidered material to our liquidity or our capital resources. Management does not believe that there is anysignificant past, present or upcoming cash transactions relating to discontinued operations.

Contractual Payment Obligations

The table below sets forth our best estimates as to the amounts and timing of future payments relating to ourmost significant contractual obligations as of December 31, 2007. The information in the table reflects futureunconditional payments and is based upon, among other things, the terms of any relevant agreements. Future events,including acquisitions, divestitures, entering into new operating lease agreements, the amount of borrowings orrepayments under our credit agreements and floor plan arrangements and purchases or refinancing of our securities,could cause actual payments to differ significantly from these amounts. See “Section 1A — Risk Factors.”

(A) Floor plan notes payable are revolving financing arrangements. Payments are generally made as requiredpursuant to the floor plan borrowing agreements discussed above under “Inventory Financing”.

Page 54: 31424 WO3 Penske Cov

(B) Interest and principal repayments under our $375.0 million of 3.5% senior subordinated notes due 2026 arereflected in the table above, however, at our option, certain of these amounts may be settled by in shares ofcommon stock. While these notes are not due until 2026, in 2011 the holders may require us to purchase all or aportion of their notes for cash. This acceleration of ultimate repayment is not reflected in the table above, nor isany optional redemption on our part.

(C) Estimates of future variable rate interest payments under floorplan notes payable and our credit agreements areexcluded. See “Inventory Financing,” “U.S. Credit Agreement”, and “U.K. Credit Agreement” above for adiscussion of such variable rates.

(D) Includes uncertain tax positions. Due to the subjective nature of our uncertain tax positions, we are unable tomake reasonably reliable estimates of the timing of payments arising in connection with the unrecognized taxbenefits. We have thus classified this as “More than 5 years.”

We expect that the amounts above will be funded through cash flow from operations. In the case of balloonpayments at the end of the terms of our debt instruments, we expect to be able to refinance such instruments in thenormal course of business.

Commitments

We are party to a joint venture with respect to our Honda of Mentor dealership in Ohio. We are required torepurchase our partner’s interest in this joint venture in July 2008. We expect this payment to be approximately$4.9 million.

Cyclicality

Unit sales of motor vehicles, particularly new vehicles, historically have been cyclical, fluctuating with generaleconomic cycles. During economic downturns, the automotive retailing industry tends to experience periods ofdecline and recession similar to those experienced by the general economy. We believe that the industry isinfluenced by general economic conditions and particularly by consumer confidence, the level of personaldiscretionary spending, fuel prices, interest rates and credit availability.

Seasonality

Our business is modestly seasonal overall. Our U.S. operations generally experience higher volumes of vehiclesales in the second and third quarters of each year due in part to consumer buying trends and the introduction of newvehicle models. Also, vehicle demand, and to a lesser extent demand for service and parts, is generally lower duringthe winter months than in other seasons, particularly in regions of the U.S. where dealerships may be subject tosevere winters. Our U.K. operations generally experience higher volumes of vehicle sales in the first and thirdquarters of each year, due primarily to vehicle registration practices in the U.K. In the U.K., vehicles sold afterMarch and September of each year reflect a later date of sale, decreasing their perceived residual value.

47

Page 56: 31424 WO3 Penske Cov

Effects of Inflation

We believe that inflation rates over the last few years have not had a significant impact on revenues orprofitability. We do not expect inflation to have any near-term material effects on the sale of our products andservices, however, we cannot be sure there will be no such effect in the future.

We finance substantially all of our inventory through various revolving floor plan arrangements with interestrates that vary based on various benchmarks. Such rates have historically increased during periods of increasinginflation.

Forward-Looking Statements

This annual report on Form 10-K contains “forward-looking statements”. Forward-looking statementsgenerally can be identified by the use of terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,”“intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “forecast,” “continue” or variations of such terms, or the use ofthese terms in the negative. Forward-looking statements include statements regarding our current plans, forecasts,estimates, beliefs or expectations, including, without limitation, statements with respect to:

• our future financial performance;

• future acquisitions;

• future capital expenditures;

• our ability to obtain cost savings and synergies;

• our ability to respond to economic cycles;

• trends in the automotive retail industry and in the general economy in the various countries in which weoperate dealerships;

• our ability to access the remaining availability under our credit agreements;

• our liquidity;

• interest rates;

• trends affecting our future financial condition or results of operations; and

• our business strategy.

Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties and are not assurances offuture performance. Actual results may differ materially from anticipated results due to a variety of factors,including the factors identified under “Item 1A. — Risk Factors”. Important factors that could cause actual resultsto differ materially from our expectations include those mentioned in “Item 1A. — Risk Factors” such as thefollowing:

• the ability of automobile manufacturers to exercise significant control over our operations, since we dependon them in order to operate our business;

• because we depend on the success and popularity of the brands we sell, adverse conditions affecting one ormore automobile manufacturers may negatively impact our revenues and profitability;

• we may not be able to satisfy our capital requirements for acquisitions, dealership renovation projects orfinancing the purchase of our inventory;

• our failure to meet a manufacturer’s consumer satisfaction requirements may adversely affect our ability toacquire new dealerships, our ability to obtain incentive payments from manufacturers and our profitability;

• our business and the automotive retail industry in general are susceptible to adverse economic conditions,including changes in interest rates, consumer confidence, fuel prices and credit availability;

• substantial competition in automotive sales and services may adversely affect our profitability;

48

Page 57: 31424 WO3 Penske Cov

• if we lose key personnel, especially our Chief Executive Officer, or are unable to attract additional qualifiedpersonnel, our business could be adversely affected;

• because most customers finance the cost of purchasing a vehicle, increased interest rates in the U.S. or theU.K. may adversely affect our vehicle sales;

• our business may be adversely affected by import product restrictions and foreign trade risks that may impairour ability to sell foreign vehicles profitably;

• our automobile dealerships are subject to substantial regulation which may adversely affect our profitability;

• if state dealer laws in the U.S. are repealed or weakened, our U.S. automotive dealerships may be subject toincreased competition and may be more susceptible to termination, non-renewal or renegotiation of theirfranchise agreements;

• our U.K. dealerships are not afforded the same legal franchise protections as those in the U.S. so we could besubject to additional competition from other local dealerships in the U.K.;

• our automotive dealerships are subject to environmental regulations that may result in claims and liabilities;

• our dealership operations may be affected by severe weather or other periodic business interruptions;

• our principal stockholders have substantial influence over us and may make decisions with which otherstockholders may disagree;

• some of our directors and officers may have conflicts of interest with respect to certain related partytransactions and other business interests;

• our level of indebtedness may limit our ability to obtain financing for acquisitions and may require that asignificant portion of our cash flow be used for debt service;

• we may be involved in legal proceedings that could have a material adverse effect on our business;

• our operations outside of the U.S. subject our profitability to fluctuations relating to changes in foreigncurrency valuations especially as between the U.S. dollar and British pound;

In addition:

• the price of our common stock is subject to substantial fluctuation, which may be unrelated to ourperformance; and

• shares eligible for future sale, or issuable under the terms of our convertible notes, may cause the marketprice of our common stock to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well.

We urge you to carefully consider these risk factors in evaluating all forward-looking statements regarding ourbusiness. Readers of this report are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statementscontained in this report. All forward-looking statements attributable to us are qualified in their entirety by thiscautionary statement. Except to the extent required by the federal securities laws and the Securities and ExchangeCommission’s rules and regulations, we have no intention or obligation to update publicly any forward-lookingstatements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rates. We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates on a significant portion of ouroutstanding indebtedness. Certain balances under our credit agreements bear interest at variable rates based on amargin over defined benchmarks. Based on the amount outstanding as of December 31, 2007, a 100 basis pointchange in interest rates would result in an approximate $0.2 million change to our annual interest expense.

Similarly, amounts outstanding under floor plan financing arrangements bear interest at a variable rate basedon a margin over defined benchmarks. We continually evaluate our exposure to interest rate fluctuations and followestablished policies and procedures to implement strategies designed to manage the amount of variable rateindebtedness outstanding at any point in time in an effort to mitigate the effect of interest rate fluctuations on our

49

Page 58: 31424 WO3 Penske Cov

earnings and cash flows. We are currently party to swap agreements pursuant to which a notional $300.0 million ofour floating rate floor plan debt was exchanged for fixed rate debt through January 2011. Based on an average of theaggregate amounts outstanding under our floor plan financing arrangements subject to variable interest paymentsduring the year ended December 31, 2007, a 100 basis point change in interest rates would result in an approximate$12.5 million change to our annual interest expense.

Interest rate fluctuations affect the fair market value of our swaps and fixed rate debt, including the7.75% Notes, the Convertible Notes and certain seller financed promissory notes, but, with respect to such fixedrate debt instruments, do not impact our earnings or cash flows.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates. As of December 31, 2007, we had dealership operations in the U.K. andGermany. In each of these markets, the local currency is the functional currency. Due to the limited number of crossborder transactions we are party to and our intent to remain permanently invested in these foreign markets, we donot hedge against foreign currency fluctuations. In the event our operations change or we change our intent withrespect to the investment in any of our international operations, we would expect to implement strategies designedto manage those risks in an effort to mitigate the effect of foreign currency fluctuations on our earnings and cashflows. A ten percent change in average exchange rates versus the U.S. Dollar would have resulted in an approximate$487.6 million change to our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2007.

In common with other automotive retailers, we purchase certain of our new vehicle and parts inventories fromforeign manufacturers. Although we purchase the majority of our inventories in the local functional currency, ourbusiness is subject to certain risks, including, but not limited to, differing economic conditions, changes in politicalclimate, differing tax structures, other regulations and restrictions and foreign exchange rate volatility which mayinfluence such manufacturers’ ability to provide their products at competitive prices in the local jurisdictions. Ourfuture results could be materially and adversely impacted by changes in these or other factors.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

The consolidated financial statements listed in the accompanying Index to Consolidated Financial Statementsare incorporated by reference into this Item 8.

Item 9. Changes In and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

None.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the principal executive andfinancial officers, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (assuch term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the“Exchange Act”)), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Our disclosure controls and procedures aredesigned to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file under the Exchange Act isrecorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, andthat such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive andfinancial officers, to allow timely discussions regarding required disclosure.

Based upon this evaluation, and as discussed in our report, the Company’s principal executive and financialofficers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered bythis report. In addition, we maintain internal controls designed to provide us with the information required foraccounting and financial reporting purposes. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reportingthat occurred during our fourth quarter of 2007 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,our internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Penske Automotive Group, Inc.Bloomfield Hills, Michigan

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Penske Automotive Group, Inc. andsubsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements ofincome, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for each of the three years in theperiod ended December 31, 2007. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index atItem 15. We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007based on criteria established in the Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee ofSponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company’s management is responsible for thesefinancial statements and financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over financialreporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in theaccompanying Management Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to expressan opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule and an opinion on the Company’s internalcontrol over financial reporting based on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements or the effectiveness ofinternal control over financial reporting of UAG UK Holdings Limited and subsidiaries (a consolidated subsidiary),which statements reflect total assets constituting 32% and 31% of consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2007and 2006, respectively, and total revenues constituting 36%, 31%, and 29% of consolidated total revenues andincome from continuing operations constituting 48%, 37% and 32% of consolidated income from continuingoperations for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively. Those statements and theeffectiveness of UAG UK Holdings Limited and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting were auditedby other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts and tothe effectiveness of UAG UK Holdings Limited and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting is basedsolely on the report of the other auditors.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board(United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance aboutwhether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control overfinancial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements includedexamining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessingthe accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financialstatement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding ofinternal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating thedesign and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also includedperforming such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our auditsand the report of the other auditors provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, thecompany’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, andeffected by the company’s board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assuranceregarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes inaccordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reportingincludes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail,accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonableassurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordancewith generally accepted accounting principles and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being madeonly in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonableassurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’sassets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility ofcollusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not beprevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal

Page 68: 31424 WO3 Penske Cov

control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequatebecause of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of the other auditors, such consolidated financial statementspresent fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2007 and 2006, andthe results of its operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007, inconformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion,based on our audits and (as to the amounts included for UAG UK Holdings Limited and subsidiaries) the report ofthe other auditors, such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financialstatements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein. Also, in ouropinion, based on our audit and the report of the other auditors, the Company maintained, in all material respects,effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on the criteria established inInternal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the TreadwayCommission.

TheCompany’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements and financial statementschedule, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of theeffectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management Report onInternal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidatedfinancial statements and financial statement schedule and an opinion on the Company’s internal control overfinancial reporting based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board(United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance aboutwhether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control overfinancial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining anunderstanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, andtesting and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Ouraudits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believethat our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assuranceregarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes inaccordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reportingincludes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail,accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonableassurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordancewith generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being madeonly in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonableassurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’sassets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detectmisstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk thatcontrols may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with thepolicies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of its operations and itscash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with accountingprinciples generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Company operates dealerships under franchiseagreements with a number of automotive manufacturers. In accordance with individual franchise agreements, eachdealership is subject to certain rights and restrictions typical of the industry.

No other manufacturer accounted for more than 10% ofour total revenue. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company had receivables from manufacturers of $89,551and $89,480, respectively. In addition, a large portion of the Company’s contracts in transit are due frommanufacturers’ captive finance subsidiaries. In 2007, the Company established a wholly-owned subsidiary, smartUSA Distributor LLC, which is the exclusive distributor of the smart fortwo vehicle in the U.S. and Puerto Rico.

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include all majority-owned subsidiaries. Investments in affiliatedcompanies, typically representing an ownership interest in the voting stock of the affiliate of between 20% and 50%,are stated at cost of acquisition plus the Company’s equity in undistributed net income since acquisition. Allsignificant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The consolidated financial statements have been updated for entities that have been treated as discontinuedoperations through December 31, 2007 in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”)No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.

In September 2006, the SEC released Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of PriorYear Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB 108”), whichpermits the Company to adjust for the cumulative effect of prior period immaterial errors in the carrying amount ofassets and liabilities as of the beginning of the current fiscal year, with an offsetting adjustment to the openingbalance of retained earnings in the year of adoption. SAB 108 requires the adjustment of any prior quarterlyfinancial statements within the fiscal year of adoption for the effects of such errors on the quarters when theinformation is next presented. Such adjustments do not require previously filed reports with the SEC to be amended.SAB 108 was effective for the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006. As a result, the Companyadjusted its opening retained earnings for fiscal 2006 and its financial results for the first three quarters of fiscal2006 to correct errors related to operating leases with scheduled rent increases which were not accounted for on astraight line basis over the rental period. The errors, which were previously determined to be immaterial on aquantitative and qualitative basis under the Company’s assessment methodology for each individual period,impacted net income by $804 during the year ended December 31, 2005. A summary of the amounts of the errorsfollows:

Results for the year ended December 31, 2007 include charges of $18,634 ($12,300 after-tax) relating to theredemption of the $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 9.625% Senior Subordinated Notes and $6,267($4,500 after tax) relating to impairment losses. Results for the year ended December 31, 2005 include $8,163($5,200 after-tax) of earnings attributable to the sale of all the remaining variable profits relating to the pool ofextended service contracts sold at the Company’s dealerships from 2001 through 2005.

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in theUnited States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amountsof assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, andthe reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from thoseestimates. The accounts requiring the use of significant estimates include accounts receivable, inventories, incometaxes, intangible assets and certain reserves.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include all highly-liquid investments that have an original maturity of three monthsor less at the date of purchase.

Contracts in Transit

Contracts in transit represent receivables from unrelated finance companies for the portion of the vehiclepurchase price financed by customers through sources arranged by the Company. Contracts in transit, included inaccounts receivable, net in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, amounted to $182,443 and $181,683 as ofDecember 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Inventory Valuation

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost for new and used vehicle inventories is determinedusing the specific identification method. Cost for parts and accessories are based on factory list prices.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated over estimated useful lives using the straight-linemethod. Useful lives for purposes of computing depreciation for assets, other than leasehold improvements, arebetween 3 and 15 years. Leasehold improvements and equipment under capital lease are depreciated over theshorter of the term of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset.

Expenditures relating to recurring repair and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Expenditures thatincrease the useful life or substantially increase the serviceability of an existing asset are capitalized. Whenequipment is sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from thebalance sheet, with any resulting gain or loss being reflected in income.

Income Taxes

Tax regulations may require items to be included in our tax return at different times than the items are reflectedin our financial statements. Some of these differences are permanent, such as expenses that are not deductible onour tax return, and some are timing differences, such as the timing of depreciation expense. Timing differencescreate deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets generally represent items that will be used as a taxdeduction or credit in our tax return in future years which we have already recorded in our financial statements.Deferred tax liabilities generally represent deductions taken on our tax return that have not yet been recognized as

Page 77: 31424 WO3 Penske Cov

expense in our financial statements. We establish valuation allowances for our deferred tax assets if the amount ofexpected future taxable income is not more likely than not to allow for the use of the deduction or credit.

Intangible Assets

Our principal intangible assets relate to our franchise agreements with vehicle manufacturers, which representthe estimated value of franchises acquired in business combinations, and goodwill, which represents the excess ofcost over the fair value of tangible and identified intangible assets acquired with business combinations. Intangibleassets are required to be amortized over their estimated useful lives. We believe the franchise values of ourdealerships have an indefinite useful life based on the following facts:

• Automotive retailing is a mature industry and is based on franchise agreements with the vehiclemanufacturers;

• There are no known changes or events that would alter the automotive retailing franchise environment;

• Certain franchise agreement terms are indefinite;

• Franchise agreements that have limited terms have historically been renewed without substantialcost; and

• Our history shows that manufacturers have not terminated franchise agreements.

The following is a summary of the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill and franchise value during theyears ended December 31, 2007 and 2006:

As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, approximately $652,584 and $648,334, respectively, of the Company’sgoodwill is deductible for tax purposes. The Company has established deferred tax liabilities related to thetemporary differences arising from such tax deductible goodwill. During 2007, the Company recorded a reclas-sification between goodwill and franchise value to correct an immaterial error in the carrying value of franchisevalue recorded in connection with certain business combination transactions between 2002 and 2006.

Impairment Testing

Franchise value impairment is assessed as of October 1 every year through a comparison of its carryingamounts with its estimated fair values. An indicator of impairment exists if the carrying value of a franchise exceedsits estimated fair value and an impairment loss may be recognized up to that excess. We also evaluate our franchisesin connection with the annual impairment testing to determine whether events and circumstances continue tosupport our assessment that the franchise has an indefinite life. Goodwill impairment is assessed at the reporting

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(In thousands, except per share amounts) — (Continued)

Page 78: 31424 WO3 Penske Cov

unit level as of October 1 every year and upon the occurrence of an indicator of impairment. An indicator ofimpairment exists if the carrying amount of the reporting unit including goodwill is determined to exceed itsestimated fair value. If an indication of goodwill impairment exists, the impairment is measured by comparing theestimated fair value of its reporting unit goodwill with its carrying amount and an impairment loss may berecognized up to that excess.

The fair values of franchise value and goodwill are determined using a discounted cash flow approach, whichincludes assumptions that include revenue and profitability growth, franchise profit margins, residual values andour cost of capital. If future events and circumstances cause significant changes in the assumptions underlying ouranalysis and result in a reduction of our estimates of fair value, we may incur an impairment charge.

Investments

Investments include marketable securities and investments in businesses accounted for under the equitymethod. The majority of the Company’s investments are in joint venture relationships. Such joint venturerelationships are accounted for under the equity method, pursuant to which the Company records its proportionateshare of the joint ventures’ income each period.

Investments for which there is not a liquid, actively traded market are reviewed periodically by managementfor indicators of impairment. If an indicator of impairment was identified, management would estimate the fairvalue of the investment using a discounted cash flow approach, which would include assumptions relating torevenue and profitability growth, profit margins, residual values and our cost of capital. Declines in investmentvalues that are deemed to be other than temporary may result in an impairment charge reducing the investments’carrying value to fair value. During 2007, the Company recorded an adjustment to the carrying value of itsinvestment in Internet Brands to recognize an other than temporary impairment of $3,360 which became apparentupon their initial public offering.

The Company and Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. (“Sirius”) have agreed to jointly promote Sirius Satellite Radioservice. Pursuant to the terms of the arrangement with Sirius, the Company’s dealerships in the U.S. endeavor toorder a significant percentage of eligible vehicles with a factory installed Sirius radio. The Company and Siriushave also agreed to jointly market the Sirius service under a best efforts arrangement through January 4, 2009. TheCompany’s costs relating to such marketing initiatives are expensed as incurred. As compensation for its efforts, theCompany received warrants to purchase shares of Sirius common stock in 2004 that are being earned ratably on anannual basis through January 2009. The Company measures the fair value of the warrants earned ratably on the datethey are earned as there are no significant disincentives for non-performance. Since the Company can reasonablyestimate the number of warrants being earned pursuant to the ratable schedule, the estimated fair value (based oncurrent fair value) of these warrants is being recognized ratably during each annual period.

The Company also received the right to earn additional warrants to purchase Sirius common stock based uponthe sale of certain units of specified vehicle brands through December 31, 2007. Since the Company could notreasonably estimate the number of warrants earned subject to the sale of units, the fair value of these warrants wasrecognized when they were earned.

As of December 31, 2007, the Company had $1,318 of investments in Sirius common stock and warrants topurchase common stock that were classified as trading securities for which unrealized gains and losses have beenincluded in earnings. The value of Sirius stock has been and is expected to be subject to significant fluctuations,which may result in variability in the amount the Company earns under this arrangement. The warrants may becancelled upon the termination of the arrangement.

The remaining marketable securities held by us are classified as available for sale and are stated at fair value onour balance sheet with unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income (loss), a separatecomponent of stockholders’ equity. A decline in the value of an investment that is deemed to be other than

Page 79: 31424 WO3 Penske Cov

temporary would be an indicator of impairment and may result in an impairment charge reducing the investment’scarrying value to fair value.

Foreign Currency Translation

For all foreign operations, the functional currency is the local currency. The revenue and expense accounts ofthe Company’s foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars using the average exchange rates that prevailedduring the period. Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars using period endexchange rates. Cumulative translation adjustments relating to foreign functional currency assets and liabilities arerecorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, debt, floorplan notes payable, and interest rate swaps used to hedge future cash flows. Other than our subordinated notes, thecarrying amount of all significant financial instruments approximates fair value due either to length of maturity orthe existence of variable interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates. A summary of the fair value of thesubordinated notes and interest rate swap, based on quoted market data, follows:

Revenue Recognition

Vehicle, Parts and Service Sales

The Company records revenue when vehicles are delivered and title has passed to the customer, when vehicleservice or repair work is completed and when parts are delivered to our customers. Sales promotions that we offer tocustomers are accounted for as a reduction of revenues at the time of sale. Rebates and other incentives offereddirectly to us by manufacturers are recognized as a reduction of cost of sales. Reimbursement of qualifiedadvertising expenses are treated as a reduction of selling, general and administrative expenses. The amountsreceived under various manufacturer rebate and incentive programs are based on the attainment of programobjectives, and such earnings are recognized either upon the sale of the vehicle for which the award is received, orupon attainment of the particular program goals if not associated with individual vehicles.

Finance and Insurance Sales

Subsequent to the sale of a vehicle to a customer, the Company sells its credit sale contracts to various financialinstitutions on a non-recourse basis to mitigate the risk of default. The Company receives a commission from thelender equal to either the difference between the interest rate charged to the customer and the interest rate set by thefinancing institution or a flat fee. The Company also receives commissions for facilitating the sale of various third-party insurance products to customers, including credit and life insurance policies and extended service contracts.These commissions are recorded as revenue at the time the customer enters into the contract. In the case of financecontracts, a customer may prepay or fail to pay their contract, thereby terminating the contract. Customers may alsoterminate extended service contracts and other insurance products, which are fully paid at purchase, and becomeeligible for refunds of unused premiums. In these circumstances, a portion of the commissions the Companyreceived may be charged back based on the terms of the contracts. The revenue the Company records relating to

F-15

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(In thousands, except per share amounts) — (Continued)

Page 80: 31424 WO3 Penske Cov

these transactions is net of an estimate of the amount of chargebacks the Company will be required to pay. TheCompany’s estimate is based upon the Company’s historical experience with similar contracts, including the impactof refinance and default rates on retail finance contracts and cancellation rates on extended service contracts andother insurance products.

Defined Contribution Plans

The Company sponsors a number of defined contribution plans covering a significant majority of theCompany’s employees. Company contributions to such plans are discretionary and are based on the level ofcompensation and contributions by plan participants. The Company incurred expense of $11,053, $9,596 and$8,315 relating to such plans during the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Advertising

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred or when such advertising takes place. The Company incurred netadvertising costs of $88,472, $85,104 and $73,506 during the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005,respectively. Qualified advertising expenditures reimbursed by manufacturers, which are treated as a reduction ofadvertising expense, were $15,545, $6,955 and $7,168 during the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005,respectively.

Self Insurance

We retain risk relating to certain of our general liability insurance, workers’ compensation insurance, autophysical damage insurance, property insurance, employment practices liability insurance, directors and officersinsurance and employee medical benefits in the U.S. As a result, we are likely to be responsible for a majority of theclaims and losses incurred under these programs. The amount of risk we retain varies by program, and, for certainexposures, we have pre-determined maximum loss limits for certain individual claims and/or insurance periods.Losses, if any, above the pre-determined exposure limits are paid by third-party insurance carriers. Our estimate offuture losses is prepared by management using our historical loss experience and industry-based developmentfactors.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed using net income and the weighted average shares of voting commonstock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed using net income and the weighted average shares ofvoting common stock outstanding, adjusted for the dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock. Areconciliation of the number of shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for theyears ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 follows:

2007 2006 2005Year Ended December 31,

In addition, the Company has senior subordinated convertible notes outstanding which, under certaincircumstances discussed in Note 8, may be converted to voting common stock. As of December 31, 2007 and

Page 81: 31424 WO3 Penske Cov

2006, no shares related to the senior subordinated convertible notes were included in the calculation of dilutedearnings per share because the effect of such securities was not dilutive.

Hedging

SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended and interpreted,establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instrumentsembedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. Under SFAS No. 133, all derivatives, whether designated inhedging relationships or not, are required to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. SFAS No. 133 definesrequirements for designation and documentation of hedging relationships, as well as ongoing effectivenessassessments, which must be met in order to qualify for hedge accounting. For a derivative that does not qualifyas a hedge, changes in fair value are recorded in earnings immediately. If the derivative is designated in a fair-valuehedge, the changes in the fair value of the derivative and the hedged item are recorded in earnings. If the derivative isdesignated in a cash-flow hedge, effective changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in accumulatedother comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of stockholders’ equity, and recorded in the incomestatement only when the hedged item affects earnings. Changes in the fair value of the derivative attributable tohedge ineffectiveness are recorded in earnings immediately.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company elected to adopt SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” as amended and interpreted,effective July 1, 2005. The Company utilized the modified prospective method approach, pursuant to which theCompany has recorded compensation expense for all awards granted after July 1, 2005 based on their fair value.The Company’s share-based payments have generally been in the form of “non-vested shares,” the fair value ofwhich are measured as if they were vested and issued on the grant date.

Prior to July 1, 2005, the Company accounted for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value methodpursuant to Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.”During that time, the Company followed the disclosure only provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for StockBased Compensation,” as interpreted and amended. As a result, no compensation expense was recorded withrespect to option grants. Had the Company elected to recognize compensation expense for option grants using thefair value method prior to July 1, 2005, the effect on net income and basic and diluted earnings per share would nothave been material for the year ended December 31, 2005. See footnote 13 for a detailed description of theCompany’s stock compensation plans.

New Accounting Pronouncements

SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fairvalue in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosure requirements relating to fair valuemeasurements. The FASB provided a one year deferral of the provisions of this pronouncement for non-financialassets and liabilities, however, the relevant provisions of SFAS 157 required by SFAS 159 must be adopted asoriginally scheduled. SFAS 157 thus becomes effective for our non-financial assets and liabilities on January 1,2009. We will continue to evaluate the impact of those elements of this pronouncement.

SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an Amendmentof FASB Statement No. 115” permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain otheritems at fair value and consequently report unrealized gains and losses on such items in earnings. Since we will notelect the fair value option with respect to any of our current financial assets or financial liabilities when theprovisions of this pronouncement become effective for us on January 1, 2008, there will be no impact upon theadoption.

F-17

PENSKE AUTOMOTIVE GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(In thousands, except per share amounts) — (Continued)

Page 82: 31424 WO3 Penske Cov

SFAS No. 141(R) “Business Combinations” requires almost all assets acquired and liabilities assumed to berecorded at fair value as of the acquisition date, liabilities related to contingent consideration to be remeasured atfair value in each subsequent reporting period and all acquisition costs in pre-acquisition periods to be expensed.The pronouncement also clarifies the accounting under various scenarios such as step purchases or where the fairvalue of assets and liabilities acquired exceeds the consideration. SFAS 141(R) will be effective for us on January 1,2009. We are currently evaluating the impact of this pronouncement.

SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements an Amendment of ARBNo. 51” clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary must be measured at fair value and classified as aseparate component of equity. This pronouncement also outlines the accounting for changes in a parent’s ownershipin a subsidiary. SFAS 160 will be effective for us on January 1, 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact of thispronouncement.

4. Discontinued Operations

The Company accounts for dispositions as discontinued operations when it is evident that the operations andcash flows of a franchise being disposed of will be eliminated from on-going operations and that the Company willnot have any significant continuing involvement in its operations. In reaching the determination as to whether thecash flows of a dealership will be eliminated from ongoing operations, the Company considers whether it is likelythat customers will migrate to similar franchises that it owns in the same geographic market. The Company’sconsideration includes an evaluation of the brands sold at other dealerships it operates in the market and theirproximity to the disposed dealership. When the Company disposes of franchises, it typically does not havecontinuing brand representation in that market. If the franchise being disposed of is located in a complex ofCompany owned dealerships, the Company does not treat the disposition as a discontinued operation if theCompany believes that the cash flows previously generated by the disposed franchise will be replaced by expanded

7. Floor Plan Notes Payable — Trade and Non-trade

The Company finances substantially all of its new and a portion of its used vehicle inventories under revolvingfloor plan arrangements with various lenders. In the U.S., the floor plan arrangements are due on demand; however,the Company is generally not required to repay floor plan advances prior to the sale of the vehicles that have beenfinanced. The Company typically makes monthly interest payments on the amount financed. Outside of the U.S.,substantially all of the floor plan arrangements are payable on demand or have an original maturity of 90 days orless and the Company is generally required to repay floor plan advances at the earlier of the sale of the vehicles thathave been financed or the stated maturity. All of the floor plan agreements grant a security interest in substantiallyall of the assets of the Company’s dealership subsidiaries. Interest rates under the floor plan arrangements arevariable and increase or decrease based on changes in the prime rate, defined LIBOR or Euro Interbank Offer Rate.The weighted average interest rate on floor plan borrowings, including the effect of the interest rate swap discussedin Note 9, was 5.2%, 6.1% and 5.4% for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. TheCompany classifies floor plan notes payable to a party other than the manufacturer of a particular new vehicle, andall floor plan notes payable relating to pre-owned vehicles, as floor plan notes payable — non-trade on itsconsolidated balance sheets and classifies related cash flows as a financing activity on its consolidated statements ofcash flows.

PENSKE AUTOMOTIVE GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(In thousands, except per share amounts) — (Continued)

Page 88: 31424 WO3 Penske Cov

Upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, for each $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes, a holderwill receive an amount in cash, in lieu of shares of the Company’s common stock, equal to the lesser of (i) $1,000 or(ii) the conversion value, determined in the manner set forth in the related indenture covering the Convertible Notes,of the number of shares of common stock equal to the conversion rate. If the conversion value exceeds $1,000, theCompany will also deliver, at its election, cash, common stock or a combination of cash and common stock withrespect to the remaining value deliverable upon conversion.

In the event of a conversion due to a change of control on or before April 6, 2011, the Company will pay, to theextent described in the indenture, a make-whole premium by increasing the conversion rate applicable to suchConvertible Notes. In addition, the Company will pay contingent interest in cash, commencing with any six-monthperiod from April 1 to September 30 and from October 1 to March 31, beginning on April 1, 2011, if the averagetrading price of a Convertible Note for the five trading days ending on the third trading day immediately precedingthe first day of that six-month period equals 120% or more of the principal amount of the Convertible Note.

9. Interest Rate Swaps

The Company was party to an interest rate swap agreement through January 2008, pursuant to which a notional$200,000 of its U.S. floating rate debt was exchanged for fixed rate debt. The swap was designated as a cash flowhedge of future interest payments of the LIBOR based U.S. floor plan borrowings. During the year endedDecember 31, 2007, the swap reduced the weighted average interest rate on floor plan borrowings by approximately0.1%. As of December 31, 2007, the Company expects approximately $19 associated with the swap to berecognized as a reduction of interest expense in January of 2008.

In January 2008, we entered into new three year interest rate swap agreements pursuant to which the LIBORportion of $300.0 million of our U.S. floating rate floor plan debt was fixed at 3.67%. Under this arrangement, wewill receive from or pay to, the counterparty the difference between the LIBOR interest cost for $300.0 million, and3.67%. This arrangement is in effect through January 2011 or earlier termination of the arrangement. We mayterminate this arrangement at any time, subject to the settlement at that time of the future value of the swaparrangement. The swap is designated as a cash flow hedge of future interest payments of LIBOR based U.S. floorplan borrowings.

10. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Convertible Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, at the option of the holder,as described in Note 8. Certain of these conditions are linked to the market value of the common stock. This type of

F-24

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(In thousands, except per share amounts) — (Continued)

Page 89: 31424 WO3 Penske Cov

financing arrangement was selected in order to achieve a more favorable interest rate (as opposed to other forms ofavailable financing). Since the Company or the holders of the Convertible Notes can redeem these notes on or afterApril, 2011, a conversion or a redemption of these notes is likely to occur in 2011. The repayment will include cashfor the principal amount of the Convertible Notes then outstanding plus an amount payable in either cash or stock, atthe Company’s option, depending on the trading price of the common stock.

During 2007, the Company corrected an immaterial error in deferred tax liabilities to correctly reflect the taxeffect of franchise value.

FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 48 “ Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” clarifies the accountingfor uncertain tax positions, prescribing a minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet beforebeing recognized, and providing guidance on the derecognition, measurement, classification and disclosure relatingto income taxes. The Company adopted FIN No. 48 as of January 1, 2007, pursuant to which the Company recordeda $4,430 increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, which was accounted for as a reduction to theJanuary 1, 2007 balance of retained earnings.

The movement in uncertain tax positions for the year ended December 31, 2007 was as follows

The portion of the total amount of uncertain tax positions that, if recognized, would impact the effective taxrate was $25,777. The Company has elected to include interest and penalties in its income tax expense. The totalinterest and penalties included within uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2007 was $7,947. We do not expect asignificant change to the amount of uncertain tax positions within the next twelve months. The Company’sU.S. federal returns remain open to examination from 2004 through 2006. Various foreign and U.S. statesjurisdictions are open from 2002 through 2006.

The Company does not provide for U.S. taxes relating to the undistributed earnings or losses of its foreignsubsidiaries. Income from continuing operations before income taxes of foreign subsidiaries (which subsidiaries arepredominately in the United Kingdom) was $103,395 $84,635 and $70,468 during the years ended December 31,

2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. It is the Company’s belief that such earnings will be indefinitely reinvested inthe companies that produced them. At December 31, 2007, the Company has not provided U.S. federal incometaxes on a total of $373,306 of earnings of individual foreign subsidiaries. If these earnings were remitted asdividends, the Company would be subject to U.S. income taxes and certain foreign withholding taxes.

At December 31, 2007, the Company has $97,768 of state net operating loss carryforwards in the U.S. thatexpire at various dates through 2026, U.S. state credit carryforwards of $1,526 that will not expire, a U.K. netoperating loss carryforward of $8,653 that will not expire, and a U.K. capital loss of $2,361 that will not expire.During 2006, a German net operating loss of $1,865 was fully utilized.

A valuation allowance of $2,308 has been recorded against the state net operating loss carryforwards in theU.S. and a valuation allowance of $29 has been recorded against the U.S. state credit carryforwards. In 2006, avaluation allowance of $692 was removed due to the utilization of a German net operating loss.

The Company has classified its tax reserves as a long term obligation on the basis that management does notexpect to make any payments relating to those reserves within the next twelve months.

16. Segment Information

The Company has two reportable operating segments as defined in SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures AboutSegments of an Enterprise and Related Information”: (i) Retail and (ii) Distribution. The Company’s operations areorganized by management by line of business and geography. The Retail segment includes all automotivedealerships, regardless of geography, and includes all departments relevant to the operation of the dealerships.We believe the dealership operations included in the Retail segment are one reportable segment as their operations(i) have similar economic characteristics (all are automotive dealerships having similar margins), (ii) offer similarproducts and services (all sell new and used vehicles, service, parts and third-party finance and insurance products),(iii) have similar target markets and customers (generally individuals) and (iv) have similar distribution andmarketing practices (all distribute products and services through dealership facilities that market to customers insimilar fashions.) The Distribution segment includes the distribution of smart vehicles, parts and accessories in theU.S. and Puerto Rico. The accounting policies of both segments are the same and are described in Note 1. AtDecember 31, 2007, the Distribution segment’s financial position and results of operations are immaterial due to thefact that the smart distribution business was being developed during 2007. Vehicles will be distributed in 2008, atwhich time the Company will disclose additional information about the Distribution segment. During 2007, theCompany incurred $5,458 of expenses relating to the establishment of the Distribution segment and has $5,189invested in the Distribution segment as of December 31, 2007.

Our Board of Directors has four standing committees: the Audit Committee, the Com-pensation and Management Development Committee, the Nominating and Corporate Gover-nance Committee and the Executive Committee. The Board of Directors approved a charter foreach of the Audit, Compensation and Management Development, and Nominating and Cor-porate Governance committees, which charters are available on our website, www.penskeau-tomotive.com under the tab “Corporate Governance” or in print (see “Corporate GovernanceGuidelines” below). The principal responsibilities of each committee are described below.Collectively, our directors attended over 90% of our board and committee meetings in 2007and the only director who did not attend 75% of these meetings was Mr. Noto, who attended71% of our Board meetings. All of our directors are encouraged to attend the annual meetingand all did attend the annual meeting in 2007.

Audit Committee. The purpose of this committee is to assist the Board of Directors infulfilling its oversight responsibility relating to (1) the integrity of our financial statements and

6

Page 117: 31424 WO3 Penske Cov

financial reportingprocess and our systems of internal accountingand financial controls; (2) theperformance of the internal audit function; (3) the engagement of the Company’s independentregistered public accounting firms and the evaluation of their qualifications, independence andperformance; (4) the annual independent audit of our financial statements, and (5) the fulfill-ment of the other responsibilities set out in the Audit Committee charter. The Board of Directorshas confirmed that all members of the Audit Committee are “independent” and “financiallyliterate” under the New York Stock Exchange rules and applicable law, and each is an “auditcommittee financial expert,” as that term is defined in Securities and Exchange Commissionrules. Mr. Steinhart serves on the audit committee of three other public companies. In 2008, theBoard determined that Mr. Steinhart’s simultaneous service on four public company auditcommittees would not impair his ability to effectively serve as a member of our auditcommittee.

Compensation and Management Development Committee. The purpose of this com-mittee is to assist the Board of Directors in discharging its responsibility relating to compen-sation of our directors, executive officers and such other employees as this committee maydetermine, succession planning and related matters. Each committee member is independentunder the New York Stock Exchange guidelines and our guidelines for director independence.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The purpose of this committee isto identify individuals qualified to become members of the Board of Directors, to recommendDirector nominees for each annual meeting of stockholders and nominees for election to fill anyvacancies on the Board of Directors and to address related matters. This committee alsodevelops and recommends to the Board of Directors corporate governance principles and isresponsible for leading the annual review of our corporate governance policies and the Boardof Directors’ performance. Each committee member is independent under the New York StockExchange guidelines and our guidelines for director independence.

Executive Committee. Our Executive Committee’s primary function is to assist ourBoard of Directors by acting upon matters when the Board of Directors is not in session.The Executive Committee has the full power and authority of the Board of Directors, except tothe extent limited by law or our certificate of incorporation or bylaws.

Corporate Governance Guidelines. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Com-mittee also makes recommendations concerning our corporate governance guidelines, whichare posted on our website, www.penskeautomotive.com, under the tab “Corporate Gover-nance.” These guidelines, and the other documents referenced in this section, are also avail-able in print without charge to any stockholder who requests them by calling our investorrelations department at 248-648-2500 or 866-715-5289.

Lead Director. One of our governance principles is that we have an independent “LeadDirector,” who is responsible for coordinating the activities of the other outside Directors,including the establishment of the agenda for executive sessions of the outside Directors, andwho shall preside at their meetings. These sessions generally occur as part of each Boardmeeting and include, at least annually, a session comprised of only our independent directors.Our Lead Director is currently H. Brian Thompson. He may be contacted by leaving a messageat the following telephone number: 800-469-1634. All messages will be reviewed by ourCorporate Secretary’s office and all (other than frivolous messages) will be forwarded to theLead Director. Any written communications to the Board of Directors may be sent care of theCorporate Secretary to our principal executive office. These communications (other thanfrivolous messages) will also be forwarded to the Lead Director.

Code of Conduct. We have also adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics,applicable to all of our employees and directors, which is posted on our website at www.pen-skeautomotive.com under the tab “Corporate Governance” and is available in print (see

7

Page 118: 31424 WO3 Penske Cov

“Corporate Governance Guidelines” above). We plan to disclose waivers, if any, for our exec-utive officers or directors from the code on our website, www.penskeautomotive.com.

Director Independence. A majority of our Board of Directors is independent and each ofthe members of our audit, compensation and nominating committees is independent. TheBoard of Directors has determined that Ms. McWaters and Messrs. Barr, Eisenson, Lovejoy,Mita, Steinhart and Thompson are each independent in accordance with the listing require-ments of the New York Stock Exchange, as well as with the more stringent requirements of ourguidelines for independent directors found in our corporate governance guidelines which areavailable on our website www.penskeautomotive.com and are set forth below. As required byNew York Stock Exchange rules, our Board of Directors made an affirmative determination as toeach independent director that no material relationship exists which, in the opinion of theBoard of Directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying outthe responsibilities of a director. In making these determinations, the Board of Directorsreviewed and discussed information provided by the directors and us with regard to eachdirector’s business and personal activities as they may relate to us and our management.

For a director to be considered independent under our corporate governance guidelines,the Board of Directors must determine that the director does not have any direct or indirectmaterial relationship with us (including any parent or subsidiary in a consolidated group withus). In addition to applying these guidelines, the Board of Directors considers relevant factsand circumstances in making an independence determination, and not merely from thestandpoint of the director, but also from that of persons or organizations with which the directorhas an affiliation. With respect to our independent directors, the Board considered the trans-actions, relationships and arrangements described under “Related Party Transactions” in itsindependence determination, as well as any direct or indirect co-investments with Transpor-tation Resource Partners, an affiliate of Penske Corporation, which co-investments do notinvolve the Company.

Under our guidelines, a director will not be independent if:

1. the director is employed by us, or an immediate family member is one of ourexecutive officers;

2. the director receives any direct compensation from us, other than director fees andforms of deferred compensation for prior service (provided such compensation isnot contingent in any way on continued service);

3. the director is affiliated with or employed by our independent registered publicaccounting firms (or internal auditors), or an immediate family member is affiliatedwith or employed in a professional capacity by our independent registered publicaccounting firms (or internal auditors); or

4. an executive officer of ours serves on the compensation committee of the board ofdirectors of a company that employs the director or an immediate family member asan executive officer.

A director also will not be independent if, at the time of the independence determination,the director is an executive officer or employee, or if an immediate family member is anexecutive officer, of another company that does business with us and the sales by thatcompany to us or purchases by that company from us, in any single fiscal year during theevaluation period, are more than the greater of one percent of the annual revenues of thatcompany or $1 million. Furthermore, a director will not be independent if, at the time of theindependence determination, the director is an executive officer or employee, or an immediatefamily member is an executive officer, of another company that is indebted to us, or to which weare indebted, and the total amount of either company’s indebtedness to the other at the end ofthe last completed fiscal year is more than one percent of the other company’s total

8

Page 119: 31424 WO3 Penske Cov

consolidated assets. Finally, a director will not be independent if, at the time of the indepen-dence determination, the director serves as an officer, director or trustee of a charitableorganization, and our charitable contributions to the organization are more than the greaterof $250,000 or one percent of that organization’s total annual charitable receipts during its lastcompleted fiscal year.

Under the New York Stock Exchange rules, if a company is “controlled,” it need not have amajority of independent directors or solely independent compensation or nominating com-mittees. We are a “controlled company” because more than 50% of the voting power for theelection of directors is collectively held by Penske Corporation, Mitsui & Co. and their affiliates.These entities are considered a group due to the provisions of the stockholders agreementbetween these parties described under “Related Party Transactions.” Even though we are a“controlled company,” we are fully compliant with the New York Stock Exchange rules for non-controlled companies. A majority of our Board of Directors is independent and each of ournominating, audit and compensation committees is comprised solely of independentdirectors.

Director Nominees. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believesthat director candidates should have certain minimum qualifications, including having personalintegrity, loyalty to Penske Automotive and concern for its success and welfare, willingness toapply sound and independent business judgment and time available for Penske Automotivematters. Experience in at least one of the following is also desired: high level of leadershipexperience in business or administration, breadth of knowledge concerning issues affectingPenske Automotive, willingness to contribute special competence to board activities, accom-plishments within the director’s respective field, and experience reading and understandingfinancial statements. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee retains the rightto modify these qualifications from time to time.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s process for identifying andevaluating nominees is as follows: in the case of incumbent directors whose terms of officeare set to expire, the committee reviews such directors’ overall service to Penske Automotiveduring their term. In the case of new director candidates, the committee uses its network ofcontacts to compile potential candidates, but may also engage, if it deems appropriate, aprofessional search firm. The committee considers whether the nominee would be indepen-dent and meets with each candidate individually to discuss and consider his or her qualifica-tions and, if approved, recommends the candidate to the Board.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider director candidatesrecommended by stockholders. Stockholder proposals for nominees should be addressed toour Corporate Secretary, Penske Automotive Group, 2555 Telegraph Road, Bloomfield Hills, MI48302, and must comply with the procedures outlined below. The committee’s evaluation ofstockholder-proposed candidates will be the same as for any other candidates.

Stockholders who wish to recommend individuals for consideration by the committee tobecome nominees for election to the Board may do so by submitting a written recommendationto our Corporate Secretary. Submissions must include sufficient biographical informationconcerning the recommended individual, including age, employment history with employernames and a description of the employer’s business, whether such individual can read andunderstand basic financial statements and a list of board memberships and other affiliations ofthe nominee. The submission must be accompanied by a written consent of the individual tostand for election and serve if elected by the stockholders, a statement of any relationshipsbetween the person recommended and the person submitting the recommendation, a state-ment of any relationships between the candidate and any automotive retailer, manufacturer orsupplier and proof of ownership by the person submitting the recommendation of 500 shares ofour common stock for one year. Recommendations received by November 10, 2008, will be

9

Page 120: 31424 WO3 Penske Cov

considered for nomination at the 2009 annual meeting of stockholders. Recommendationsreceived after November 10, 2008 will be considered for nomination at the 2010 annualmeeting of stockholders.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation. During 2007, theCompensation and Management Development Committee was comprised of H. Brian Thompson(Chairman), Eustace Mita and William Lovejoy. As more fully discussed under “Related PartyTransactions,” Mr. Mita is an investor in Transportation Resource Partners, which is affiliated withPenske Corporation. In addition, Mr. Mita’s son was formerly employed by us as a regionalmanager for which hewas compensated $316,000 in 2007, which compensation is commensuratewith his peers’.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (“CD&A”)

I. General Information

Our Compensation Committee. Our compensation committee is comprised of threeindependent directors, as determined by our Board of Directors pursuant to the listing require-ments of the New York Stock Exchange, as well as the more stringent requirements of ourcorporate governance guidelines. See “Our Corporate Governance — Director Independence”for a discussion of these independence requirements. Our committee’s primary responsibil-ities are to:

• Determine all elements of our executive officers’ compensation;

• Review and recommend compensation for other members of senior management;

• Review and recommend our compensation and benefit policies for our employeesgenerally;

• Administer our equity incentive plans;

• Make recommendations to the Board of Directors with respect to directorcompensation; and

• Review our management progression and succession plans.

These responsibilities are set out in the committee’s charter which you can find on ourwebsite www.penskeautomotive.com. This charter is reviewed annually by our corporategovernance committee and Board of Directors. The compensation committee retains theauthority to delegate its duties to a subcommittee, though it did not do so in 2007. Proposedcommittee meeting agendas are prepared by management and sent to the committee prior toevery meeting along with material for committee review. The final agenda for each meeting isdetermined by the committee chairman. The committee met six times during 2007, and eachmeeting is typically concluded with an executive session including only the committeemembers.

Outside Advisors and Consultants. Our compensation committee has the authority tohire outside consultants and advisors at their discretion, and it has full access to any of ouremployees. While it may do so in the future, neither the committee nor company managementhas retained any outside consultants to assist them in fulfilling their duties in the past severalyears.

Role of Executive Officers. The committee relies on our senior management to assist infulfilling many of its duties, in particular our Executive Vice President — Human Resources andChief Executive Officer, each of whom attend part of most committee meetings. These exec-utives make recommendations concerning our compensation policies generally, certain spe-cific elements of compensation for senior management (such as restricted stock awards andbonuses) as well as report to the committee as to company personnel and developments. OurChief Executive Officer also makes specific compensation recommendations concerning ourother executive officers and certain other employees. Our Chief Executive Officer does notparticipate in determining his own compensation except as noted below under “Chief Exec-utive Officer Compensation”.

II. Compensation Philosophy

Our compensation program is designed to motivate and reward our executive officers andother key employees to enhance long-term stockholder value and to attract and retain thehighest quality executive and key employee talent available. We believe our executive

11

Page 122: 31424 WO3 Penske Cov

compensation should be aligned with increasing the value of our common stock and promotingour key strategies, values and long term financial and operational objectives.

Our compensation program has evolved over time. At several times during each year, theprogram is reviewed in whole or in part with respect to various factors, including: competitivebenchmarking; the tax and accounting treatment of certain elements of employee compen-sation; and recent trends regarding executive compensation. We evaluate the effectiveness ofour program generally based on our ability to motivate our executives to deliver superiorcompany wide performance and to retain them on a cost-effective basis.

The majority of our executive and employee compensation is payable in cash in the short-term, and is comprised principally of salary and cash bonuses, which we believe is typicalwithin our industry. We use cash compensation as the majority of our compensation becausewe believe it provides the most flexibility for our employees and it is less dilutive to existingstockholders than equity compensation. The committee also recognizes that stock prices mayalso reflect factors other than long-term performance, such as general economic conditionsand varying attitudes among investors toward the stock market in general and toward retailcompanies specifically. However, we also provide long-term compensation in the form ofrestricted stock awards for certain employees. Our restricted stock program awards typicallyvest over four years, with 70% of any award vesting in the third and fourthyears. We believe thislong term compensation helps to align management’s goals with those of our other stock-holders and provides a long-term retention inducement for our key employees, as discussedbelow under the heading “Restricted Stock.”

We do not have any required stock ownership guidelines for our employees. We monitorthe stock ownership of our key executives and believe the weighted vesting of our restrictedstock awards will contribute to our executive officers holding a significant equity position in ourcompany.

Determination of Amounts. The committee reviews and determines all aspects ofcompensation for our executive officers. In making decisions regarding non-CEO compen-sation, the committee receives input from our Chief Executive Officer. The committee reviewsannual salary adjustments with a view toward maintaining external compensation competi-tiveness. External competitiveness is benchmarked against each of the other publicly tradedautomotive retailers. We are the second largest publicly traded automotive retailer and the onlyone with international operations. While we benchmark our compensation, we do not target aspecific quartile of pay for our executive officers as compared to our peers as we believe eachof our executive officer’s circumstances and challenges is unique to the individual and we baseour compensation accordingly.

Management Incentive Plan. Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, asamended, generally imposes a $1 million per year ceiling on the tax-deductibility of remuner-ation paid to any one of the named executive officers of a public company (except for the chieffinancial officer), unless the remuneration is treated as performance-based or is otherwiseexempt from the provisions of Section 162(m). We have designed our Management IncentivePlan, which was approved by our stockholders in 2004, to provide for the payment of perfor-mance-based compensation that is qualified within the meaning of Section 162(m) of theInternal Revenue Code.

We expect to continue to issue awards under the Management Incentive Plan for our ChiefExecutive Officer, as well as any other officers for whom we believe this plan would provide akey motivation to advance specific annual objectives of the Company, while also maximizingthe tax deductibility of our compensation expense. For any awards under the ManagementIncentive Plan, the compensation committee reserves negative discretion to reduce (but notincrease) the payout under the award. While the committee intends to maximize the tax-efficiency of its compensation programs generally, it retains flexibility in the manner in which it

12

Page 123: 31424 WO3 Penske Cov

awards compensation to act in our best interests, including awarding compensation that maynot be tax deductible.

III. Our Compensation Program

Our compensation program primarily consists of four elements:

• base salary;

• annual cash bonus payment;

• restricted stock awards; and

• employee health care and other benefits, such as the use of a company vehicle.

Base Salary. We pay base salary to set a baseline level of compensation for all seniormanagement. The salary levels for our executive officers are determined by scope of jobresponsibility, experience, individual performance, historical salary levels and the benchmark-ing information discussed earlier under “Determination of Amounts.” The committee approvessalary levels for executive officers and certain key employees in order to maintain externalcompensation competitiveness using the benchmarks noted above, and to reflect the perfor-mance of those employees in the prior year and to reflect any change in the employee’s level ofresponsibility within the organization. The committee also considers our achievement ofcorporate objectives and general economic factors.

Annual Bonus Payments. Each member of our senior management is also eligible toreceive an annual discretionary bonus payment. In 2007, our Chief Executive Officer andPresident received only the amounts resulting from their performance based awards describedbelow under “Chief Executive Officer Compensation” and “President Compensation.” We payannual bonuses to provide an incentive for future performance and as a reward for perfor-mance during the prior year. Discretionary bonus payments are determined in varying degreesbased on three criteria:

• Evaluation of an individual’s performance in the prior year;

• Evaluation of the annual performance of an individual’s business unit; and

• Company-wide performance and the attainment of corporate objectives in the prior year.

Since the annual bonus is based in part on our company-wide performance, we believe theannual bonus also focuses employees on our corporate goals designed to increase stock-holder value.

Restricted Stock. The committee believes that the interests of senior managementshould be closely aligned with those of our stockholders. Therefore, each member of seniormanagement is eligible to receive an incentive equity award because we believe equity grantseffectively align management’s goals with those of our other stockholders. In 2007 restrictedstock granted to our Chief Executive Officer and President resulted solely from their perfor-mance based awards described below under “Chief Executive Officer Compensation” and“President Compensation.”

In 2007 and 2008, we issued incentive compensation to our senior management team inthe form of restricted stock under our 2002 Equity Compensation Plan. Our restricted stockgrants for management typically vest over four years at a rate of 15%,15%, 20% and 50% perannum, respectively. These shares are subject to forfeiture in the event the executive departsfrom the Company. We believe vesting the majority of the awards in the third and fourth yearsprovides a longer-term incentive and more closely aligns the incentives for management withthe interests of our long-term stockholders. We employ this form of compensation in partbecause many of our initiatives may take several years to show benefits, such as building

13

Page 124: 31424 WO3 Penske Cov

premium facilities. These initiatives may be costly in the short-term, but we believe they willprovide benefits for years to come. We also believe that weighted vesting of these awardsprovides an additional incentive to retain our valuable employees due to the value that may becreated over time. Our restricted stock awards are designed to mirror our other outstandingstock and thus enable the recipients to vote with our other stockholders and receive dividends.

Restricted stock grants are generally discretionary (other than those awarded to our ChiefExecutive Officer or others under our Management Incentive Plan discussed above), and arebased upon a guideline range that takes into account the responsibilities of executive officersand other key employees whose contributions and skills are important to our long-termsuccess. In 2007, the committee granted approximately 250,000 shares of restricted stockto employees (representing about 0.26% of our current outstanding equity), some of whichhave reverted back to us as employees have departed from our company. These amountsinclude the restricted stock granted to our Chief Executive Officer in lieu of any cash bonus.From time-to-time, the committee also approves special equity awards based on an employ-ee’s outstanding contributions, commencement of employment or other factors.

Other Compensation. We may provide our employees with selected other benefits orperquisites in order to attract and retain highly skilled employees. All of our employees areentitled to a number of benefits such as company contributions toward health and welfarebenefits, company matching under our 401(k) plan, and company-sponsored life insurance.Our corporate employees are also entitled to a company-sponsored lunch. We believe thesebenefits manifest our concern for our employees and provide an inducement and retentionadvantage. With respect to health and welfare benefits, the committee believes that ouremployees should receive a meaningful benefit package commensurate with those of otherautomotive retailers, recognizing the increasing cost of those benefits in recent years.

As we are an automotive retailer, our senior management is typically provided the use of acompany vehicle, company-sponsored automobile insurance, and a tax gross-up relating tothese amounts. We typically contribute a monthly allowance toward a lease payment for acompany vehicle selected by the employee. The vehicle must be leased from one of ourdealerships and the allowance is based on an employee’s position within our company. In somecircumstances, we purchase a vehicle outright if we believe this will be more cost effective overthe life of the vehicle’s use. We have valued the use of company vehicles in the followingdisclosure tables based on the value of our lease payments or, in situations where we havepurchased a vehicle or provided a “demonstrator” vehicle, on IRS guidelines. We also pay formaintenance and repairs on the vehicles, which costs are included in those tables. Similar toany company providing its products to employees, we provide these vehicles as an induce-ment and retention benefit.

From time to time, we may adopt other benefits for our senior management, such aspayment for a country club membership or tax gross-ups for certain items. We review thesebenefits on a case-by-case basis and believe, if limited in scope, such benefits can provide anincentive to long term performance and help retain our valuable employees. The value of theseother types of perquisites are quantified based on our cost.

Other Forms of Compensation. The committee has also reviewed various other forms ofexecutive compensation for our management, such as stock options and supplemental retire-ment plans. Currently, the committee is of the view that salary, bonus and restricted stockawards should provide the principal components of management compensation and thatthese forms of compensation best align management’s goals with those of our stockholders.Therefore, after review, the committee has determined not to issue or grant stockoptions, allowfor deferred compensation in the form of a deferral of salary or bonus, or any retirement benefit(other than under our defined contribution plans that are available to all qualified employees).

14

Page 125: 31424 WO3 Penske Cov

The committee considers the advisability of these additional types of compensation period-ically and retains the flexibility to implement other forms of compensation in the future.

No Employment Agreements, Change of Control and Severance Compensation. Noneof our current executive officers have been provided an employment agreement, nor are theyentitled to any severance compensation or compensation upon a change of control, except as setforth below under “President Compensation.” We believe our mix of short-term and long-termcompensation provides a retention incentive that makes an employment contract unnecessary,while providing us maximum flexibility with respect to managing our executive officers. Our lack ofpre-arranged severance compensation is consistent with our performance based compensationphilosophy, and provides us the flexibility to enter into a post-employment arrangement with anemployee based on the circumstances existing upon departure. We have entered into consultingagreements with our departing senior management on a case-by-case basis, as we believe it maybe important to have continuing access to these employee’s institutional knowledge base andguidance. In these events, we have typically obtained a non-compete agreement with theseindividuals.

With respect to a change in control, none of our current executive officers have beenguaranteed any change of control payments. However, our outstanding equity awards providethat, in the event of a change of control, the compensation committee has the discretion toaccelerate, vest or rollover any outstanding equity awards.

IV. 2007 Compensation

2007 compensation is noted in the tables following this section. In reviewing individualcompensation, the committee employs a form of “tally sheet” designed to capture all elementsof compensation.

Chief Executive Officer Compensation. In determining the compensation of Mr. Penske,the committee considered the company performance noted below, and also reviewed the CEOcompensation and the financial performance of our peer companies. The committee alsoconsidered Mr. Penske’s previous year’s compensation. Based on their review, the committeeproposed an increase in Mr. Penske’s base salary in 2007. However, for the third consecutiveyear, Mr. Penske declined the salary increase in order to align a greater percentage of hiscompensation with company performance and the value of our common stock. Therefore, thecommittee maintained Mr. Penske’s base salary at $750,000 in 2007. In February 2008,Mr. Penske’s salary was increased to $1.0 million retroactive to January 1, 2008.

In 2008, the committee awarded Mr. Penske 89,267 shares of restricted stock valued at$1.68 million based on the closing price on the New York Stock Exchange on the date ofapproval ($18.82). These shares vest over a four year period at a rate of 15%,15%, 20% and50% with the final vesting in June 2012, subject to forfeiture in the event Mr. Penske departsfrom the Company. These shares resulted from a performance based award which had beengranted to Mr. Penske in March of 2007 under our Management Incentive Plan discussedabove. The maximum potential amount Mr. Penske could have earned pursuant to this awardwas $3.0 million, though the committee reserved discretion to reduce (but not increase) thepayout under these awards. Mr. Penske achieved 56% of the performance metrics noted

15

Page 126: 31424 WO3 Penske Cov

below, which entitled Mr. Penske to the $1.68 million. The specific 2007 performance objec-tives and related performance were as follows:

President Compensation. At the beginning of 2007, Roger S. Penske, Jr., was promotedfrom Executive Vice President — Eastern Operations to President. Subsequent to this promo-tion, Mr. Penske retained direct oversight responsibility for our U.S. East operations. For thatreason, Mr. Penske, Jr.’s bonus and restricted stock award was based on specific objectivesrelating to the performance of our U.S. East operations. We believe tying Mr. Penske, Jr.’scompensation to the performance of the East region served as an incentive to Mr. Penske, Jr.with regard to that area’s performance, while his accumulated restricted stock represented akey incentive for company-wide performance.

Specifically, Mr. Penske, Jr. was paid a cash bonus paid in March 2008 of $547,946 whichwas based on a percentage of actual 2007 East region pre-tax earnings, as adjusted to excludegains and losses attributable to the sale or shutdown of dealerships in the East region in 2007(as these losses did not reflect operating performance). The payment levels were set inadvance as compared to our internal budget. If our East region pre-tax earnings were below$42.0 million, Mr. Penske, Jr. was to receive no bonus. If our East region pre-tax earnings werein excess of $42.0 million, Mr. Penske, Jr. was to receive one percent of East region pre-taxearnings and, for pre-tax earnings in excess of $55.0 million, he was to receive two percent ofthe excess above $55.0 million.

Mr. Penske, Jr. also received a performance based award in March of 2007 under ourManagement Incentive Plan discussed above. The maximum potential amount Mr. Penske, Jr.could have earned pursuant to this awardwas $300,000 in the form of a restricted stock grant in2008, though the committee reserved discretion to reduce (but not increase) the payout underthis award. Mr. Penske, Jr. achieved 10% of the performance metrics noted below with respectto that performance based award, which entitled Mr. Penske, Jr. to a $30,000 restricted stockaward. As a result, in 2008, the committee awarded Mr. Penske, Jr.1,594 shares of restrictedstock valued at $30,000 based on the closing price on the New York Stock Exchange on thedate of approval ($18.82). These shares vest over a four year period at a rate of 15%,15%, 20%and 50% with the final vesting in June 2012. The metrics noted below were designed to driveincremental improvement over the prior year and may not necessarily compare to similarlytitled consolidated results. The specific 2007 performance objectives related to the perfor-mance of the East region and were as follows:

East Region Objective Result % of award Achievement

• same store gross profit increase of 12.2%. . . . . . . . . 4.6% 20% 0%• same store service and parts gross profit increase

On February 29, 2008, we announced that Mr. Penske, Jr. will be departing from ourCompany effective March 31, 2008. In connection with his departure, we approved the vestingof Mr. Penske, Jr.’s outstanding restricted stock at that time. For the 2008 period throughMarch 31, 2008, Mr. Penske will continue to receive his current salary and a bonus based on theEast region pre-tax earnings as compared to our internal budget as described above for 2007.

Kurnick, O’Shaughnessyand Sharp also received 11,000,11,000 and 2,500 restricted shares, respectively, vesting overfour years at a rate of 15%,15%, 20% and 50%.

Pension Benefits and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation

We do not offer our executives any pension plans or nonqualified deferred compensationplans.

Potential Termination Payments

None of our named executive officers is employed under an employment agreement andnone have any contractual severance or termination payments.

Director Compensation

The Board of Directors believes that its members should receive a mix of cash and equitycompensation, with the option to receive all compensation in the form of equity. The Board ofDirectors approves changes to director compensation only upon the recommendation of thecompensation committee, which is composed solely of independent directors. Only directorswho are not our paid employees, who we call “outside directors,” are eligible for directorcompensation, unless otherwise noted.

Annual Fee and Restricted Stock Award. Each outside director receives an annual feeof $40,000, except for audit committee members, who receive $45,000. These fees arepayable, at the option of each outside director, in cash or common stock valued on the dateof receipt (generally in March of the year subsequent to service). For 2007 service, our outsidedirectors also received an annual grant of 4,000 shares of restricted stock during the firstquarter of 2008. These restricted shares vest on the one-year anniversary of the date of grant.Our Board of Directors has changed the equity compensation they are entitled to receive in2009 relating to 2008 service from restricted stock to stock.

21

Page 132: 31424 WO3 Penske Cov

Option to Defer Receipt until Termination of Board Service. Under our Non-EmployeeDirector Compensation Plan, the annual fee and restricted stock awards may be deferred ineither the form of cash (for the annual fee) and/or deferred stock. Each deferred stock unit isequal in value to a share of common stock and ultimately paid in cash after a director retires.These stock units do not have voting rights, but do generate dividend equivalents in the form ofadditional stock units which are credited to the director’s account on the date dividends arepaid. All fees deferred in cash are held in our general funds and interest on such deferred fees iscredited to the director’s account at the then current U.S. 90-day Treasury bill rate on aquarterly basis.

Charitable Donation Matching Program. All directors are also eligible to participate in acharitable matching gift program. Under this program, we will match up to $25,000 per year incontributions by each director to institutions qualified as tax-exempt organizations under501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and other institutions approved at the discretion ofmanagement. We may decline to match any contribution to an institution with goals that areincompatible with ours, or due to conflicts with our director independence policy. This programis not available for matching of political contributions. While the contributions are directed byour directors, we retain the tax deduction for these contributions.

Other Amounts. As part of our director continuing education program, each director iseligible to be reimbursed by us for the cost and expenses relating to one education seminar peryear. These amounts are excluded from the table below. Each outside director also is entitled tothe use of a vehicle, as well as the cost of routine maintenance and repairs and company-sponsored automobile insurance relating to that vehicle. All directors are also entitled toreimbursement for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with their travelto, and attendance at, meetings of the Board of Directors or its committees. Because weexpect attendance at all meetings, and a substantial portion of the Board of Directors’ work isdone outside of formal meetings, we do not pay meeting fees.

Director Compensation Table

Our directors who are also our employees (Messrs. Kurnick, Ishikawa, and Penske) receiveno additional cash compensation for serving as directors, though they are eligible for thecharitable matching program noted above.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORTThe Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for providing independent,

objective oversight of our accounting functions and internal controls. The Audit Committeeacts under a written charter adopted and approved by the Board of Directors. The AuditCommittee is comprised only of independent directors as set forth in the listing requirementsof the New York Stock Exchange, the more stringent requirements of our corporate governanceguidelines and the Securities and Exchange Commission’s additional independence require-ments. In addition, our Board of Directors has determined that each of our committee membersis an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined by Securities and Exchange Commissionrules. In accordance with the Audit Committee charter, the Audit Committee has the soleauthority to retain and terminate our independent registered public accounting firms and isresponsible for recommending to the Board of Directors that our financial statements beincluded in our annual report on Form 10-K.

The Audit Committee took a number of steps in making this recommendation for our 2007annual report. First, the Audit Committee discussed with our independent registered publicaccounting firms those matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing StandardsNo. 61, including information regarding the scope and results of their audits. These commu-nications and discussions are intended to assist the Audit Committee in overseeing thefinancial reporting and disclosure process. Second, the Audit Committee discussed withthe independent registered public accounting firms their independence and received lettersand written disclosures from the independent registered public accounting firms required byIndependence Standards Board Standard No.1. These discussions and disclosures assistedthe Audit Committee in evaluating such independence. Finally, the Audit Committee reviewedand discussed the annual audited financial statements with our management and the inde-pendent registered public accounting firms in advance of the public release of operatingresults, and before the filing of our annual and quarterly reports with the Securities andExchange Commission.

Based on the foregoing, as well as on the review and discussions referred to above, andsuch other matters deemed relevant and appropriate by the Audit Committee, the AuditCommittee recommended to the Board of Directors that our audited financial statementsbe included in our 2007 annual report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on February 25, 2008.

In 2007, Deloitte did not audit certain of our subsidiarieswhich own certain of our international operations and their opinions, insofar as they relate tothose operations, are based solely on the reports of the independent auditor of those oper-ations, KPMG Audit PLC (“KPMG”). This arrangement will continue in 2008. We refer to Deloitteand KPMG collectively as our independent registered public accounting firms. We paid theindependent registered public accounting firms the following fees for the enumerated servicesin 2006 and 2007, all of which services were approved by our Audit Committee.

The Audit Committee has considered the nature of the above-listed services provided bythe independent registered public accounting firms and determined that they are compatiblewith their provision of independent audit services. The Audit Committee has discussed theseservices with the independent registered public accounting firms and management anddetermined that they are permitted under the Code of Professional Conduct of the AmericanInstitute of Certified Public Accountants and the auditor independence requirements of theSecurities and Exchange Commission.

Pre-approval Policy. The Audit Committee has adopted a policy requiring pre-approval ofaudit and non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firms.The primary purpose of this policy is to ensure that we engage our public accountants only to

27

Page 138: 31424 WO3 Penske Cov

provide audit and non-audit services with a view toward maintaining independence. The AuditCommittee is required to pre-approve all services relating to work performed for us by ourindependent registered public accounting firms and related fees. The Audit Committee mustalso approve fees incurred for pre-approved services that are in excess of the approvedamount prior to payment. Pre-approval of audit and non-audit services may be given at anytime up to a year before commencement of the specified service. Engagement of the inde-pendent registered public accounting firms and their fees for the annual audit must beapproved by the entire Audit Committee. The Chairman of the Audit Committee may inde-pendently approve services if the estimated fee for the service is less than 10% of the totalestimated audit fee, or if the excess fees for pre-approved services are less than 20% of theapproved fees for that service; provided, however, that no such pre-approval may be grantedwith respect to any service prohibited by applicable law or that otherwise appears reasonablylikely to compromise the independent registered public accounting firms’ independence. Anypre-approval granted pursuant to this delegation of authority is reviewed with the AuditCommittee at its next regularly scheduled meeting. Our independent registered publicaccounting firms are prohibited from performing any service prohibited by applicable law.

It is anticipated that a representative of Deloitte will be present at the annual meeting withthe opportunity to make a statement and to answer appropriate questions.
