The information in this report and in the exhibits hereto shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section or Sections 11 and 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

This Current Report on Form 8-K and other reports filed by the Registrant from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (collectively the “Filings”) contain forward looking statements and information that are based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, the Registrant’s management as well as estimates and assumptions made by the Registrant’s management. When used in the Filings the words “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “expect”, “future”, “intend”, “plan” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to the Registrant or the Registrant’s management identify forward looking statements. Such statements reflect the current view of the Registrant with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors relating to the Registrant’s industry, operations and results of operations and any businesses that may be acquired by the Registrant. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended or planned.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On June 30, 2006, Coach Industries Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Registrant”) learned that the federal government indicted Francis O’Donnell, the Registrant’s Chief Executive Officer, among others, based on allegations of RICO conspiracy, conspiracy to commit extortion and money laundering. The indictment filed by the federal government affirmatively states that checks drawn in connection with the alleged money laundering activities were drawn from six other companies, and not the Registrant. Statements published by various news organizations implicating the Registrant as a conduit to the alleged money laundering are inaccurate. The indictment also names Mitchell Weissman, who is not related to the Registrant’s Chief Financial Officer, Susan Weisman, or the Registrant.

Effective immediately, the Board of Directors has appointed Mr. Steven Rothman as Chairperson of an Interim Executive Management Committee. Mr. Rothman joined the Company effective February 2006 as an independent member of the Board of Directors.
