Item 2: Amendment to Acquisition of Assets

On September 30, 1998, The Parts Source, Inc. (d/b/a Ace Auto Parts) ("the
Company") filed a report on Form 8-K with respect to its acquisition of an auto
parts distribution center operated by A.P.S., Inc., located in Ocala, Florida.

The total purchase price of the warehouse operation was approximately $5.3
million with an additional amount of $600,000 paid for inventory that was
in-transit at the time of closing.


Item 7:  Amendment to File Acquisition Financial Statements

At the time of the filing, it was impracticable to provide the financial
statements and pro forma financial information required to be filed relative to
the acquired assets, and the Company stated in a report on Form 8-K that it
intended to file the required financial statements and pro forma financial
information as soon as practicable, but no later than November 16, 1998. By
filing this Form 8-K/A, the Company is amending and restating Item 7 of the Form
8-K to include such required financial statements and pro forma financial
information.

NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED BALANCE SHEET

NOTE 1 - ACQUISITION OF ASSETS

On September 17, 1998, The Parts Source, Inc. (d/b/a Ace Auto Parts) ("the
Company") acquired certain assets (consisting of inventories and fixed assets)
of an auto parts distribution center (hereafter referred to as the Ocala
Distribution Center) operated by A.P.S., Inc., located in Ocala, Florida. The
Ocala Distribution Center was a separate business unit of APS Holding
Corporation. APS Holding Corporation and its direct and indirect subsidiaries
filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code
in the United States Bankruptcy Court on February 2, 1998 and have been
operating as a debtor-in-possession.

The total purchase price of the warehouse operation was approximately $5.3
million with an additional amount of $600,000 paid for inventory that was
in-transit at the time of closing. The purchase price was funded primarily
through the Company's line of credit. The Company intends to continue the
operations of this automotive distribution center for its auto parts business
and for other auto parts suppliers in the State of Florida. In a separate
transaction, specific accounts and notes receivable of approximately $1,017,000
recorded on the books of the Ocala Distribution Center were sold for
approximately $610,000 to an affiliated entity owned by the principal
shareholders of the Company.


NOTE 2 - PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

Pro forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet adjustments related to the
acquisition are as follows:

(a)      A summary of the purchase price for the acquisition described in
         Note 1 is as follows:

           Cash                                                      $  613,018
           Proceeds from line of credit                               5,314,491
           Direct acquisition costs                                     174,000
                                                                     -----------
                                                                     $6,101,509
                                                                     ===========

(b)      The total purchase price of the acquisition was allocated in accordance
         with the provisions of APB Opinion No. 16, Business Combinations and,
         accordingly, was based on the fair value of the net tangible assets
         acquired. In this transaction, the sum of the fair values assigned to
         the identifiable assets acquired less liabilities assumed, exceeded the
         purchase price. Such excess was allocated to non-current assets.

           Net tangible assets (liabilities)
             Inventories                                             $6,163,160
             Property and equipment, net                                773,038
             Less: Excess of fair value over purchase price            (773,038)
             Accrued liabilities                                        (61,651)
                                                                     -----------
                                                                     $6,101,509
                                                                     ===========

         The total purchase price was allocated for income tax purposes pursuant
         to Internal Revenue Code Section 1060. Therefore, the purchase price
         was allocated differently to the net assets acquired for financial and
         tax reporting purposes. At the acquisition date, there was not a
         difference in basis of the net assets acquired for book and tax
         purposes. Accordingly, no deferred income taxes have been recorded.

(c)      These assets and liabilities of the Ocala Distribution Center were
         not acquired or assumed by the Company.

               PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED STATEMENT OF EARNINGS
                      For the year ended December 31, 1997

NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED STATEMENT OF EARNINGS

NOTE 1 - PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

Pro forma Condensed Combined Statement of Earnings adjustments related to the
acquisition are as follows:

(a)      Represents elimination of sales between the Company and the Ocala
         Distribution Center.

(b)      Represents reversal of the Ocala Distribution Center's depreciation
         expense related to fixed assets that were purchased by the Company and
         have been reduced to zero due to the allocation of the excess of fair
         value of the net assets over the purchase price.

(c)      Represents reversal of the Ocala Distribution Center's amortization
         expense related to its intangible assets not acquired by the Company.

(d)      Represents a monthly fee of $27,000 to be paid by the Company for
         access to APS, Inc.'s computerized inventory system and certain related
         inventory maintenance support. The Company believes they will need
         access to the system for six and a half months before the warehouse
         operation is integrated on to the Company's computerized inventory
         system.

(e)      Represents costs that will be incurred by the Company related to
         additional accounting and data processing personnel and related
         expenses.

(f)      Represents reversal of allocated overhead costs from the Ocala
         Distribution Center's Regional and Corporate Headquarters. Such
         allocated overhead costs consist primarily of costs related to
         financial, marketing, management information, risk management, legal
         and human resource services. Such costs were allocated based upon the
         location sales as a percentage of total consolidated sales. Such
         allocation was general in nature and was not indicative of the actual
         costs that would have been incurred if the Ocala Distribution Center
         operated as a separate entity. The Company does not anticipate adding
         personnel to handle these functions, except for those mentioned in (e)
         above.

(g)      Represents elimination of interest charges (income) on customer
         financed accounts. The Company does not intend to enter into financing
         agreements with its customers.

(h)      Represents interest expense on the funds advanced against the Company's
         credit line to fund the purchase, calculated at the Company's average
         rate of interest for the period.

(i)      Represents elimination of corporate inter-company carrying charges
         (expense) on inventory and accounts receivable balances.

(j)      Represents the income tax effect of the pro forma adjustments as
         set forth above at the statutory rate.

NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS

NOTE 1 - PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

Pro forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations adjustments related to the
acquisition are as follows:

(a)      Represents elimination of sales between the Company and the Ocala
         Distribution Center.

(b)      Represents reversal of the Ocala Distribution Center's depreciation
         expense related to fixed assets that were purchased by the Company and
         have been reduced to zero due to the allocation of the excess of fair
         value of the net assets over the purchase price.

(c)      Represents reversal of the Ocala Distribution Center's amortization
         expense related to its intangible assets not acquired by the Company.

(d)      Represents a monthly fee of $27,000 to be paid by the Company for
         access to APS, Inc.'s computerized inventory system and certain related
         inventory maintenance support. The Company believes they will need
         access to the system for six and a half months before the warehouse
         operation is integrated on to the Company's computerized inventory
         system.

(e)      Represents costs that will be incurred by the Company related to
         additional accounting and data processing personnel and related
         expenses.

(f)      Represents reversal of allocated overhead costs from the Ocala
         Distribution Center's Regional and Corporate Headquarters. Such
         allocated overhead costs consist primarily of costs related to
         financial, marketing, management information, risk management, legal
         and human resource services. Such costs were allocated based upon the
         location sales as a percentage of total consolidated sales. Such
         allocation was general in nature and was not indicative of the actual
         costs that would have been incurred if the Ocala Distribution Center
         operated as a separate entity. The Company does not anticipate adding
         personnel to handle these functions, except for those mentioned in (e)
         above.

(g)      Represents elimination of interest charges (income) on customer
         financed accounts. The Company does not intend to enter into financing
         agreements with its customers.

(h)      Represents interest expense on the funds advanced against the Company's
         credit line to fund the purchase, calculated at the Company's average
         rate of interest for the period.

(i)      Represents elimination of corporate inter-company carrying charges
         (expense) on inventory and accounts receivable balances. There were no
         such charges during the six months ended July 25, 1998.

(j)      Represents the income tax effect of the pro forma adjustments as
         set forth above at the statutory rate.

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
APS Holding Corporation

In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheets and the related statements of
operations, changes in owner's investment and cash flows present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Ocala Distribution Center (a
business unit of APS Holding Corporation) as of January 25, 1997 and January 31,
1998, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the fiscal years
then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These
financial statements are the responsibility of APS Holding Corporation's
management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.

As further discussed in Note 1, the financial statements have been prepared
presenting the Ocala Distribution Center as a separate unit of APS Holding
Corporation.

                           OCALA DISTRIBUTION CENTER

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
     ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

     On February 2, 1998, APS Holding Corporation ("APS Holding") and its direct
and indirect subsidiaries (collectively referred to as "the Company") filed a
voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code
("Bankruptcy Code") in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of
Delaware ("Bankruptcy Court"). Since February 2, 1998, the Company has been
operating as a debtor in possession ("DIP").

     ORGANIZATION - The Ocala Distribution Center ("Ocala") is a separate
business unit of the Company and is composed of one Distribution Center which
sells automotive replacement parts and accessories to associate jobber stores
located in the Florida area. Ocala is not a legal entity. Ocala's accounts
receivable, inventory and fixed assets serve as collateral for the obligations
of the Company.

     ALLOCATIONS - Included in the accompanying financial statements are
allocations of Company corporate overhead to Ocala. Such allocated overhead
costs consist primarily of costs related to financial, marketing, management
information, risk management, legal, and human resource services. Such costs
were allocated based upon Ocala's sales as a percentage of total sales for the
respective periods. Although management believes such method of allocation is
reasonable, they are not able to determine whether the allocations of corporate
overhead costs are indicative of actual expenses that would have been incurred
by Ocala had they operated as an unaffiliated entity. The amounts of such
overhead costs charged were $1,328,820, $1,660,004, $848,666 and $619,559 for
the years ended January 25, 1997 and January 31, 1998 and for the six months
ended July 25, 1997 and 1998, respectively.

     Net transfers (to) from the Company are reflected as a component of owner's
investment. No interest is charged on such transfers.

     FISCAL YEAR - Ocala's fiscal year ends on the last Saturday in January.

     INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - The balance sheets at July 25, 1997 and 1998
and the related statements of operations, changes in owner's investment, and
cash flows for the six months ended July 25, 1997 and 1998 are unaudited. In the
opinion of management, such financial statements include all normal recurring
adjustments considered necessary for the fair presentation of such financial
statements. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full
year.

     CUSTOMER NOTES RECEIVABLE - The adequacy of the allowance for losses on
customer notes receivable is periodically evaluated in order to maintain the
allowance at a level that is sufficient to absorb probable credit losses.
Management's evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance includes a review of
each note's credit history, the estimated value of collateral and other
circumstances that may affect the customer's ability to repay principal and
interest. A customer's note receivable is considered impaired when it is
probable that Ocala will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the
scheduled payments and other contractual terms of the note. Impairment losses
are included in the provision for bad debts.

     Interest payments on impaired customer notes receivable are typically
applied to principal unless collectibility of the principal amount is fully
assured, in which case interest income is recognized on the cash basis.

     Customer notes receivable are generally classified as nonaccrual if they
are past due for 90 days or more, unless such notes are well-collateralized
and/or in the process of collection. Loans may be returned to accrual status
when all principal and interest amounts contractually due are reasonably assured
of repayment within an acceptable period of time, and there is a sustained
portion of repayment performance for a minimum of three months.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     INVENTORIES - Inventories consist primarily of replacement automobile parts
and accessories and are stated at the lower of cost (FIFO) or market. Ocala's
cost of inventory is not necessarily indicative of the cost that would have been
incurred by Ocala had it operated as an independent entity.

     VENDOR INCENTIVES - Ocala receives from certain of its suppliers discounts
and allowances designated for advertising, promotional and discounting
activities as well as one-time changeover incentives for changing suppliers on
certain product categories. Such discounts and allowances are recorded to cost
of goods sold when earned. Product changeover incentives are recorded to
selling, general, and administrative expenses to offset direct and indirect
costs incurred to carry out the product changeover.

     PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT - Property and equipment of Ocala are stated at
cost. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments, which extend the original
estimated economic useful lives of the applicable assets, are capitalized.
Expenditures for normal repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as
incurred. The cost and accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise
disposed of are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss thereon is
reflected in the current statements of operations.

     Depreciation and amortization are computed on a straight-line basis over
the estimated useful lives of the assets as set forth below. Depreciation
expense for property and equipment totaled $71,504, $113,599, $57,927 and
$54,233 for the years ended January 25, 1997 and January 31, 1998 and for the
six months ended July 25, 1997 and 1998, respectively.

</TABLE>

     INTANGIBLE ASSETS - Intangible assets consist of the associate jobber
network and the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets
acquired. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the
estimated life ranging from 5 to 30 years. Amortization expense for intangible
assets totaled $43,077, $43,077, $21,540 and $21,538 for the years ended January
25, 1997 and January 31, 1998 and for the six months ended July 25, 1997 and
1998, respectively.

     In the fourth quarter of Fiscal Year 1996, Ocala adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, entitled "ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT
OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND FOR LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF" (SFAS No.
121"), which requires evaluation of impairment based on undiscounted future cash
flows. If such cash flows are not expected to recover the unamortized cost , the
intangible assets are written down to fair value.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     INCOME TAXES - Ocala utilizes the liability method of accounting for income
taxes. Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future
years of differences in the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their
financial reporting amounts based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates
applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect
taxable income. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce
deferred income tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not expected to
be realized.

     Ocala is included in the consolidated federal and state income tax returns
of the Company. Current and deferred taxes are calculated by Ocala as if it were
a separate taxpayer. The current taxes payable or receivable are reflected as a
component of owner's investment.

     REVENUE RECOGNITION - Ocala records sales when its products are shipped. A
reserve is maintained for anticipated returns and allowances, based primarily on
historical experience and current estimates.

     MANAGEMENT'S ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS - Ocala will adopt SFAS No. 131, "DISCLOSURES
ABOUT SEGMENTS OF AN ENTERPRISE AND RELATED INFORMATION," no later than the
fourth quarter of Fiscal Year 1999. SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for the
manner in which public business enterprises report selected information about
operating segments.

     Ocala will adopt the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 132, "EMPLOYER'S
DISCLOSURES ABOUT PENSIONS AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS", in the fourth
quarter of Fiscal Year 1999. SFAS No. 132 revises disclosure requirements for
pension and postretirement benefit plans so as to standardize certain
disclosures and eliminate certain other disclosures no longer deemed useful.
SFAS No. 132 does not change the measurement or recognition criteria for such
plans.

     Ocala will adopt SFAS No. 133, "ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND
HEDGING ACTIVITIES," no later than the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2001. SFAS
No. 133 establishes accounting standards for derivative instruments, including
certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging
activities. Under SFAS No. 133, all derivatives will be recognized as either
assets or liabilities and measured at fair value. The Company is currently
studying this newly-issued accounting rule, and the impact of adopting SFAS No.
133, if any, has not yet been determined.

2.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

LITIGATION

     Legal actions incident to the ordinary course of business are pending
against the Company. In the opinion of management, the eventual disposition of
these matters will have no material adverse effect on the financial position,
results of operation, or cash flows of Ocala.

LEASES

     The Ocala Distribution Center and certain equipment are leased under
non-cancelable operating lease agreements which expire at various dates through
2005. The leases generally provide for the payment of taxes, insurance and
maintenance expenses related to the leased assets. The warehouse lease provides
for renewal options of 5 to 10 years. Rental expense for the years ended January
25, 1997 and January 31, 1998 and for the six months ended July 25, 1997 and
1998 was $295,017, $295,017, $147,508 and $147,508, respectively. Future minimum

     Certain employees of Ocala are eligible to participate in the APS, Inc.
Partnership Plan ("the Partnership Plan"), a defined contribution savings plan.
An employee becomes eligible to participate in and contribute to the plan after
one year of service and the attainment of age twenty-one. Employees may
contribute 2% to 15% of their annual compensation, which is matched 50% by the
Company up to 6% of the employees' contribution. Employees become fully vested
in the Company's contribution to the plan after five years of service.
Contribution expense related to the Partnership Plan totaled $9,942, $8,502,
$4,380 and $3,669 during the years ended January 25, 1997 and January 31, 1998
and during the six months ending July 25, 1997 and 1998, respectively.

     Certain employees of Ocala participate in the A.P.S., Inc. Employees'
Retirement Plan (the "APS Plan"). This defined benefit pension plan covers
substantially all full-time employees who have completed one year of service and
reached the age of twenty-one. Generally, benefits are based on years of service
and the employees' average final compensation integrated with Social Security
benefits as defined in the APS Plan's agreements. The Company's funding policy
is to contribute to the APS Plan such amount that is actuarially required to
fund the benefits of the APS Plan. In September 1992, A.P.S., Inc.'s Board of
Directors authorized a freeze of pension benefits offered under the APS Plan and
participants in the APS Plan became fully vested. Ocala's share of expense
related to the APS Plan is included in the overhead allocation from the Company.
In connection with the disposal of Ocala (see note 6), the purchaser assumes no
assets or liabilities related to the APS Plan.

5.   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

     Included in Net sales and Cost of goods sold for the years ended January
25, 1997 and January 31, 1998 and for the six months ended July 25, 1997 are
intercompany sales and returns between Ocala and stores owned by the Company.
Intercompany sales and returns for the years ended January 25, 1997 and January
31, 1998 and for the six months ended July 25, 1997 are $439,149, $20,585 and
$16,992, respectively. Intercompany Cost of goods sold for the years ended

are $396,802, $12,589 and $9,298 respectively.

     Not included in Net sales and Cost of goods sold for the years ended
January 25, 1997 and January 31, 1998 and for the six months ended July 25, 1997
and 1998 are transfers to (from) other company units in the amount of
$1,108,057, $219,253, $5,265 and $(80,813), respectively. These transfers did
not result in gross profit for Ocala.

6.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:

     On September 17, 1998, the Company sold Ocala to The Parts Source, Inc.
("Parts Source"). These audited financial statements were prepared for the sole
purpose of enabling Parts Source to comply with their financial reporting
requirements. The assets sold to Parts Source include certain inventory and
fixed assets. In addition, specific accounts receivable and notes receivable
were sold to an affiliated entity of Parts Source. Accounts and notes receivable
relating to a specific customer at January 25, 1997, January 31, 1998 and July
25, 1997 and 1998, in the amounts of $6,587,331, $6,475,658, $6,181,720 and
$6,648,799, respectively, were not included in the sale to Parts Source. The
interest income relating to those accounts and notes receivable for the years
ended January 25, 1997 and January 31, 1998 and for the six months ended July
25, 1997 and 1998 amounted to $497,396, $495,474, $243,225 and $250,120,
respectively. Proceeds received from the sale were less than the book value of
the assets sold and a loss was recorded by the Company of $2,960,036.
Additionally, as a result of the Ocala sale and the Company's continued
operations as a debtor in possession, certain Ocala assets retained by the
Company may not be fully recoverable.
