NOTE A:  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and do not include all the
information and footnote disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements.  The condensed financial
statements as of March 31, 1996 and for the three months ended March 31, 1996
and 1995 are unaudited and reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a
fair presentation of the financial position and operating results for the
interim periods.  The results of operations for the three months ended March
31, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the
year ending December 31, 1996.  The condensed financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto, together
with management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations, included in the prospectus dated April 8, 1996.


NOTE B:  INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

On April 8, 1996, the Company completed an initial public offering of 1,185,000
shares of common stock, par value of $.001 per share, for $8.00 per share. The
offering generated net proceeds to the Company of $7,988,600 after deducting
offering expenses of $259,000.  A portion of such proceeds were used to reduce
approximately $5,600,000 of long-term indebtedness.  The remaining proceeds
will be used to expand operations and for general working capital purposes.

The following reflects the pro forma effect as if the Company would have
received the net proceeds from the initial public offering as of March 31,
1996:

                    NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  (UNAUDITED)


NOTE C:  PRO FORMA NET EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

Pro forma net earnings per common share is computed by dividing pro forma net
earnings by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding
during each period.  Pro forma net earnings includes a pro forma provision for
income taxes assuming the Company had been subject to income taxes during the
period it was an S Corporation for income tax purposes.

If the initial public offering of 1,185,000 shares of common stock had occurred
on January 1, 1996 and approximately $5,551,600 of the total net proceeds had 
been applied to the reduction of debt, pro forma net earnings per share would 
have been $.07 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 (assuming 2,693,947
weighted average common shares outstanding).


NOTE D:  INCOME TAXES

For the three months ended March 31, 1996 the Company was taxed as an S
Corporation under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.  As such, the
Company's taxable income was includable in the individual income tax returns of
its stockholders for federal and state income tax purposes.  Accordingly, no
provisions for federal and state income taxes has been recorded in the
accompanying historical financial statements.

In conjunction with the completion of the initial public offering, the Company
has terminated its S Corporation election and has become subject to corporate
income taxes from that date forward.  As a result, in the quarter ended June
30, 1996, the Company will be required to record a net deferred tax liability
of approximately $45,000 with a corresponding charge to earnings for the
period.

Three Months Ended March 31, 1995 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31,
1996.

Net Sales.  Product sales increased by approximately $725,000 or 13.1% from
$5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 1995 to $6.2 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1996.  $123,000 of this increase was due to an
increase in sales relating to the opening of one new store in December of 1995.
An additional $602,000 or 10.9% increase in same store sales resulted from
continued improvement in the Company's customer service.

Cost of Goods Sold.  Cost of goods sold increased from $3.5 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1995 to $3.9 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1996.  This increase was primarily attributable to sales increases.
Cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales was relatively constant.

                             (D/B/A ACE AUTO PARTS)


Operating, Selling, General and Administrative ("OSG&A) Expenses.  OSG&A
expenses increased $260,773 from $1.8 million for the three months ended March
31, 1995 to $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996.  The
increased dollar amount of OSG&A expenses resulted primarily from additional
store sales and delivery expenses to support the increased sales volume; an
annual sales promotion event and other overhead expenses incurred in
anticipation of new store growth. OSG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales
was relatively constant.

New Accounting Pronouncements.  In March 1995, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of".  This pronouncement requires impairment
losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when impairment
indicators are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be
generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amount.  The
Company has adopted SFAS 121 in the first quarter of 1996 and the adoption had
no material effect to the financial statements.

SFAS No 123 "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation" has been issued by the
FASB in October, 1995.  As it relates to stock options granted to employees,
SFAS No. 123 permits companies who have not done so already to, either adopt
the accounting method promulgated by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25
(APB No. 25) "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" to measure
compensation, or to adopt the fair value base method prescribed by SFAS No.
123. Management has not adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123 related to stock
options. However, the Company has implemented the remaining provisions of SFAS
No. 123, effective January 1, 1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's primary capital requirements have been the funding of new store
acquisitions, increased inventory levels and accounts receivables and the
expansion of the Company's delivery fleet of vehicles.  New store acquisitions
and the expansion of the delivery fleet have been funded by borrowings secured
by the Company assets and personal guarantees of Messrs. Thomas and Robert Cox.
The Company has also used trade credit to finance its inventory expansion and
has been successful in negotiating extended payment terms from its suppliers
through volume purchases.  The Company believes that it will be able to
continue financing its inventory growth through the extension of favorable
payment terms by its vendors, but there can be no assurance that the Company
will be successful in doing so.

The Company proposes to expand its operations by acquiring 8 to 12 stores in
the next nine month period.  The total cost is expected to range from $2.4 to 
$5.1 million.  Approximately $2.4 million of the funds needed will be supplied 
from the initial public offering that occurred in April 1996 with the balance to
come from debt financing.  There is no assurance that such debt financing will
be available in which event the Company will have to scale back its growth
program.

Management believes that the net proceeds to the Company from the initial
public offering, the Company's existing cash, cash expected to be provided by
operating activities, and debt financing available after the offering, will be
sufficient to fund both short and long-term capital and liquidity needs of the
Company.  If cash flow from operations and available debt financing are not
sufficient, the Company will be required to seek additional financing to meet
its acquisition strategy.  There can be no assurance that such financing would
be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to the Company.
