Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On August 9, 2006, The Coast Distribution System, Inc. issued a press release announcing its consolidated financial results for its second quarter and the six months ended June 30, 2006. A copy of that press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to and, by this reference, is incorporated into this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

On August 14, 2006, The Company issued a press release reporting that its Board of Directors had approved an increase in the amount of the quarterly cash dividend to $0.07 per share and, pursuant to its dividend policy, declared the quarterly cash dividend for the quarter ending September 30, 2006 in the amount of $0.07 per share. The dividend is payable on September 8, 2006 to all stockholders of record as of August 24, 2006. A copy of that press release is attached as Exhibit 99.2 to, and by this reference is incorporated into, this Report.

As stated in its press release, the declaration of cash dividends in the future, pursuant to the Company’s dividend policy, is subject to determination each quarter by the Board of Directors based on a number of factors, including the Company’s financial performance and its available cash resources. Also, it could become necessary for the Company to obtain the consent of its lender under its secured bank loan agreement in order to pay cash dividends in the future and for these reasons, as well as others, there can be no assurance that that the Board of Directors will not decide to reduce the amount, or suspend or discontinue the payment, of cash dividends in the future.
