(Unaudited)
September 25, 1998
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions of Form 10-Q and Article
10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting
only of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for fair presentation,
with respect to the interim financial statements have been included. The results
of operations for the three month and six month periods ended September 25, 1998
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full
year ending April 2, 1999. For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended March 27, 1998,
included in the Company's Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on June 25, 1998.
2. New Accounting Standards
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133. "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities," which is required to be adopted in years
beginning after June 15, 1998. Because of the Company's minimal use of
derivatives, management does not anticipate that the adoption of the new
Statement will have a significant effect on earnings or the financial position
of the Company.
3. Severance Costs
In May 1997, the Company incurred approximately $705,000 of costs related
to the severance of its former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
4. Unaudited Pro Forma Information
Pro forma net income and pro forma net income per share information for the
three month and six month periods ended September 26, 1997 gives effect to an
income tax adjustment to reflect taxation of the income of two corporations
acquired by the Company in January 1998 (accounted for as poolings of interest)
as "C" corporations, rather than "S" corporations, at an estimated rate of
approximately 39%.
5. Acquisitions
On June 27, 1998, the Company completed its acquisition of Republic
Automotive Parts, Inc. ("Republic"). The Company issued approximately 2,907,456
shares of its common stock in exchange for the outstanding common stock of
Republic for a total purchase price of approximately $63.1 million using an
average share price of $21.69. The fair value of the assets acquired
approximated $48,000,000, net of approximately $29,000,000 of liabilities
assumed. The excess of the purchase price over assets acquired (Goodwill)
approximated $15,000,000 and is being amortized over 30 years. The acquisition
of Republic is being accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.
The net assets related to the mechanical hard parts operations were
recorded as assets held for sale in the allocation of the opening balance sheet
at June 27, 1998, which included adjustments to reflect the mechanical hard
parts results of operations from the opening balance dates to the date of sale,
as well as the difference between net value of the assets disposal of the
purchase price. The operating results of the Company from June 27, 1998,
excluded any effects from the mechanical hard parts business.
6
<PAGE>
At September 25, 1998, other long-term assets includes $3,698,000,
consisting of assets at the one Republic mechanical hard parts operating
location yet to be sold, net of various reserves. The amounts reflected on the
balance sheet represents the Company's estimate of the assets held for fair
value.
Pro Forma results of the operations for the six months ended September 25,1998
and September 27, 1997, as through Republic had been combined with the Company
at the beginning of each period is as follows:
September 25, September 26,

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS;
Except for the historical information contained herein, certain matters
addressed in this Item 2 constitute "forward-looking statements" within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section
21B of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such forward-looking
statements are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by the Company's
management. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Act")
provides certain "safe harbor" provisions for forward-looking statements. All
forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are made
pursuant to the Act and are subject to the cautionary statements set forth
herein and in Item 5 and in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended March 27, 1998 .
General
- -------
On January 1, 1998, the Company completed the Inteuro and Car Body
Mergers, in which the Company issued 2,000,000 shares of its Common Stock. Each
of these associations was accounted for under the pooling of interests method of
accounting, which requires that financial information be presented on an
historical combined basis for all periods presented. Therefore, the following
discussion of results of operations and liquidity and capital resources reflects
the combined companies.
On June 27, 1998, the Company completed its acquisition of Republic
issuing approximately 2,907,456 shares of its common stock in exchange for the
outstanding common stock of Republic, for a total purchase price of
approximately $63.1 million using an average share price per share of $21.69.
This acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. On
August 31, 1998, the Company sold substantially all of the mechanical hard parts
operations of Republic for approximately $50.0 million in cash. Results of
operations of the Company include the results of operations of Republic,
excluding results from its mechanical hard parts operations, beginning June 27,
1998 (the date of acquisition).

(1) Pro forma net income for the periods ended September 27, 1997, gives effect
to an income tax adjustment to reflect taxation of the income of Interior and
Car Body (accounted for as poolings of interests), acquired in January 1998, as
"C" corporations, rather than "S" corporations, at an estimated statutory rate
of approximately 39%.
Three months ended September 25, 1998 compared to three months ended September
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
24, 1997
- --------
Net sales were $81.4 million for the three months ended September 25, 1998
(the "September 1998 Quarter") compared to $63.4 million for the three months
ended September 26, 1997 (the "September 1997 Quarter"), an increase of $18.0
million or 28.5%. This increase was made up of increases of $9.2 million in
sales of new and recycled bumpers and $3.1 million in sales of paint and related
materials, which increases represent increases of approximately $34.6%, 12.0%
and 31.0%, respectively, over the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. In
addition, the Company sold approximately $3.9 million of remanufactured alloy
wheels in the September 1998 Quarter compared to $1.5 million in the September
1997 Quarter, an increase of 164.2%. Increased net sales were attributable
primarily to the increase in the number of service centers in operation as a
result of the Republic acquisition and an increase in unit volume.
Gross profit increased in the September 1998 Quarter to $35.0 million
(43.0% of net sales) from $27.4 million (43.3% of net sales) in the September
1997 Quarter, an increase of 27.8%, primarily as a result of the increase in net
sales. The Company's gross profit margin decreased, in part, due to product mix.
9
<PAGE>
The Company's gross profit margin has fluctuated, and is expected to continue to
fluctuate depending on a number of factors, including changes in product mix,
acquisitions, competition and currency exchange rates.
Selling and distribution expenses increased to $22.3 million (27.3% of net
sales) in the September 1998 Quarter from $17.9 million (28.2% of net sales) in
the September 1997 Quarter, an increase of 24.6%. The increase in these expenses
is primarily due to additional costs related to the Republic operations.
General and administrative expense increased to $6.3 million (7.8% of net
sales) in the September 1998 Quarter from $4.2 million (6.6% of net sales) in
the September 1997 Quarter an increase of 50.8%. The increase in these expenses
is also primarily due to additional costs related to the Republic operations.
As a result of the above factors, net income increased to $4.1 million
(5.0% of net sales) in the September 1998 Quarter from $3.4 million (5.4% of net
sales) on a pro forma basis in the September 1997 Quarter. The decrease in net
income as a percentage of net sales was primarily the result of a decrease in
gross profit as a percentage of sales, an increase in operating expenses as a
percentage of sales and a charge related to the consolidation of service
centers.
Six months ended September 25, 1998 compared to six months ended September 26,
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1997
- ----
Net sales were $151.3 million for the six months ended September 25, 1998
compared to $126.1 million for the six months ended September 26, 1997 an
increase of $25.2 million or 20.0%. This increase was made up of increases of
$11.2 million in sales of automotive body parts (including fenders, hoods,
headlights, radiators, grilles and other crash parts), $2.8 million in sales of
new and recycled bumpers and $5.1 million in sales of paint and related
materials, which increases represent increases of approximately 21.1%, 6.4% and
25.8%, respectively, over the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. In
addition, the Company sold approximately $7.7 million of remanufactured alloy
wheels in the six months ended September 25, 1998 compared to $2.9 million in
the six months ended September 26, 1997, an increase of 162.4%. Increased net
sales were attributable primarily to the increase in the number of service
centers in operation as a result of the Republic acquisition and an increase in
unit volume.
Gross profit increased in the six months ended September 25, 1998 to $65.4
million (43.2% of net sales) from $53.9 million (42.8% of net sales) in the six
months ended September 26, 1997, an increase of 21.2%, primarily as a result of
the increase in net sales. While the Company's gross profit margin improved
during the first six months, due in part to increased purchasing leverage (a
direct result of acquisitions), internal growth and the strengthening of the
U.S. dollar relative to the Taiwanese dollar, gross margins declined from the
first quarter to the second quarter of this year. The Company's gross profit
margin has fluctuated, and is expected to continue to fluctuate, depending on a
number of factors, including changes in product mix, acquisitions, competition
and currency exchange rates.
Selling and distribution expenses increased to $41.8 million (27.6% of net
sales) in six months ended September 25, 1998 from $34.5 million (27.4% of net
sales) in the six months ended September 26, 1997, an increase of 21.2% The
increase in these expenses as a percentage of net sales was due in part to
certain costs associated with consolidating and assimilating acquisitions.
General and administrative expenses increased to $11.1 million (7.4% of net
sales) in the six months ended September 25, 1998 from $8.7 million (6.9% of net
sales) in the six months ended September 26, 1997, an increase of 28.1%. The
increase in these expenses in the six months ended September 25, 1998 was
primarily the result of the acquisition of Republic in June 1998. During the six
months ended September 26, 1997, the Company incurred approximately $705,000 of
costs related to severance payments to its former Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer.
As a result of the above factors, net income increased to $7.9 million
(5.2% of net sales) in the six months ended September 25, 1998 from $6.1 million
(4.9% of net sales) on a pro forma basis in the six months ended September 26,
1997. The increase in net income as a percentage of net sales was primarily the
result of an increase in gross profit and other income which was offset in part
by an increase in operating expenses.

<PAGE>
Variability of Quarterly Results and Seasonality
- ------------------------------------------------
The Company has experienced, and expects to continue to experience,
variations in its sales and profitability from quarter to quarter due, in part,
to the timing and integration of acquisitions and the seasonal nature of
Keystone's business. The number of collision repairs is directly impacted by the
weather. Accordingly, the Company's sales generally are highest during the five
month period between December and April. The impact of seasonality may be
reduced somewhat in the future as Keystone continues to become more
geographically diversified. Other factors which influence quarterly variations
include the reduced number of business days during the holiday season, the
timing of the introduction of new products, the level of consumer acceptance of
new products, general economic conditions that affect consumer spending, the
timing of supplier price changes and the timing of expenditures in anticipation
of increased sales and consumer delivery requirements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
The Company has entered into an amended revolving loan agreement with its
commercial lender that provides for a $25 million unsecured credit facility that
expires in September 1999. Advances under the revolving line of credit bear
interest at LIBOR plus 0.75%. At September 25, 1998, no funds had been drawn
under the line of credit. The revolving loan agreement is subject to certain
restrictive covenants. As of September 25, 1998, and as of the date of the
filing of this quarterly report, the Company was in compliance with its
covenants.
On June 27, 1998, the Company completed its aquisition of Republic. The
Company issued 2,907,456 shares of its common stock in exchange for the
outstanding common stock of Republic for a total purchase price of approximately
$63.1 million, using an average share price per share of $21.69. The acquisition
of Republic is being accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. On
August 31, 1998, the Company sold substantially all of the mechanical hard parts
operations of Republic for approximately $50.0 million in cash. The cash
proceeds were used to retire substantially all of the Company's outstanding debt
with the balance of the proceeds being invested in money market funds. The
Company ended the quarter with approximately $44.5 million in cash. The
Company's Board of Directors has determined that the current cash position is
more than adequate to meet the Company's foreseeable financial requirements and
has authorized a share repurchase program of up to 1,000,000 shares of its
Common Stock over the next 12 months.
The Company's primary need for funds has been to finance the growth of
inventory and accounts receivable and acquisitions. At September 25, 1998,
working capital was $120.3 million compared to $72.5 million at March 27, 1998.
Historically, the Company has financed its working capital requirements from its
cash flow from operations, proceeds from public offerings of its Common Stock
and advances drawn under lines of credit. The Company believes that its existing
working capital, estimated cash flow from operations and the funds available
under its line of credit will enable it to finance its anticipated growth in
sales, to complete anticipated acquisitions and the share repurchase program for
at least the next 12 months.
The Company believes that consolidation among independent distributors of
aftermarket collision parts continues to create opportunities for the Company to
acquire service centers in new and existing markets. The Company intends to
explore acquisition opportunities that may arise from time to time. To date, the
Company's acquisitions have been financed primarily by issuing shares of its
Common Stock or paying cash obtained from (i) operations, (ii) proceeds from
public offerings of its Common Stock or (iii) advances drawn under credit

facilities. In the future, the Company may incur indebtedness or issue equity or
debt securities to third parties or the sellers of the acquired businesses to
complete additional acquisitions. There can be no assurance that additional
capital, if and when needed, will be available on terms acceptable to the
Company, or at all. In addition, the issuance of equity securities will result
in dilution to the shareholders of the Company.
Inflation
- ---------
The Company does not believe that the relatively moderate rates of
inflation over the past three years have had a significant effect on its net
sales or its profitability.
New Accounting Standards
- ------------------------
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which is required to be adopted
in years beginning after June 15, 1999. Because of the Company's minimal use of
derivatives, management does not anticipate that the adoption of the new
Statement will have a significant effect on earnings or the financial position
of the Company.

Item 5. Other Information.
-----------------
a. In January 1998, the Company purchased a comprehensive
enterprise software package for accounting, distribution and inventory planning.
During the initial phases of the implementation of the package, the Company
determined that the package would not meet the needs of the Company. In October
1998, the Company entered into an agreement with a new vendor for the purchase
of a new software package (which will be Year 2000 compliant) to be installed on
an enterprise basis. While management believes that this new package can be
implemented and deployed before the end of the year 1999, the delay in beginning
the undertaking makes the timing more critical. While it is estimated that the
total cost (hardware and software) to install the new software package will be
substantial, management does not believe that it will be material in
relationship to the Company's financial position. However, there can be no
assurance that the implementation of the new software package will not involve
significant unexpected costs or that unanticipated problems encountered in the
conversion from the present system will not have a material adverse effect on
the Company's results of operations.
b. In July, 1997, certain individuals (the "plaintiffs")
initiated a class action lawsuit against State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance
Company ("State Farm") in the Illinois Circuit Court in Williamson County
(Marion, Illinois) which asserts claims for breach of contract, consumer fraud
and equitable relief pertaining to State Farm's practice of sometimes specifying
the use of parts manufactured by sources other than the original equipment
manufacturer ("non-OEM crash parts") when adjusting claims for damage to insured
vehicles. It is alleged that this practice breaches State Farm's insurance
agreements with its policyholders and is a violation of the Illinois Consumer
Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act because
13
<PAGE>
non-OEM crash parts are inherently inferior to OEM crash parts and,
consequently, vehicles are not restored to their "pre-loss condition" as
specified in the policy. While the Company is not a party to this lawsuit, a
substantial portion of the Company's business consists of the distribution of
non-OEM crash parts to collision repair shops for use in repairing automobiles,
the vast majority of which are covered by insurance policies.
The Williamson County Court certified a near-nationwide class on an ex
porte basis on the date the lawsuit was filed. Subsequently, after a hearing on
December 5, 1997, the Circuit Court again certified a national class, consisting
of all persons in the United States (except residents of Arkansas and Tennessee)
insured by a State Farm vehicle casualty insurance policy who had non-OEM crash
parts installed on their vehicles (or were compensated based upon the cost of
these non-OEM crash parts). In December 1997, State Farm petitioned the Illinois
Supreme Court, for an order that the certification violated State Farm's due
process rights and infringed the sovereignty of other states. The petition was
neither granted nor denied. Again in February 1998, State Farm filed a petition
with the Illinois Supreme Court which was denied without comment on March 24,
1998. In June 1998, State Farm filed a petition for a writ of centoari with the
United States Supreme Court on various constitutional grounds, unrelated to the
breach of contract issue. State Farm's petition was supported by nine amicus
briefs, including briefs filed by four public interest groups - Public Citizen,
the Center for Auto Safety, the Consumer Federation of America and the
Massachusetts Public Interest Research Group. The Petition was denied. A trial
on the merits is currently scheduled to commence in August 1999.
The plaintiffs acknowledged in their filings with the United States Supreme
Court that to prevail on the merits in the class action, they must prove that
all non-OEM crash parts (estimated to be over 30,000 unique crash parts,
- ---
manufactured by many companies around the world) are categorically and
inherently inferior to OEM crash parts. Many of these non-OEM crash parts are
evaluated by the Certified Automotive Parts Association ("CAPA"), a non-profit
association of insurance companies, manufacturers, distributors, collision
repair shops and consumer groups. Using an independent testing laboratory, which
compares the functional equivalence of non-OEM crash and OEM crash parts, CAPA
certifies the quality of these non-OEM crash parts.
The Company, which is the largest distributor of non-OEM crash parts in the
United States, believes that substantially all of the non-OEM crash parts which
it distributes are of similar quality to OEM crash parts and when installed in a
competent manner by collision repair shops, vehicles are restored to their "pre-
loss condition." Consequently, the Company does not believe the plaintiffs in
this class action should prevail.
However, the Company is not a party to the litigation, does not control the
defense in any manner and it is impossible to predict the outcome of a jury
trial on the merits. If a jury were to find against State Farm, it could become
financially unacceptable for State Farm and other automobile insurers to specify
non-OEM crash parts similar to those distributed by the Company. Such an event
would have a material adverse effect on the Company.
