PRO FORMA CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Balance Sheet gives effect to acquisition by
the Company of the auto parts distribution center operated by A.P.S., Inc. in
Monroe, Louisiana ("Monroe DC") on October 13, 1998 as if it had occurred on
August 25, 1998. The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Statement of Operations for
the six months ended August 25, 1998 gives effect to the acquisition as if it
had occurred on February 26, 1997. The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Statement
of Operations for the year ended February 25, 1998 gives effect to the
acquisition as if it had occurred on February 26, 1997.
The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Statements are based on (i) the
Company's audited Statement of Operations for the year ended February 25, 1998,
unaudited Statement of Operations for the six months ended August 25, 1998 and
unaudited Balance Sheet as of August 25, 1998 and (ii) the Monroe DC's audited
Statement of Income for the year ended January 31, 1998, unaudited Statement of
Income for the six months ended July 25, 1998 and unaudited Balance Sheet as of
July 25, 1998.
The acquisition is being accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.
The total purchase price for the acquisition is being allocated to tangible and
identifiable intangible assets and liabilities based on management's estimate of
their fair values. The Company currently anticipates that the fair market value
of the tangible assets acquired will approximate the cost of the acquisition and
that no significant positive or negative goodwill will result from the
acquisition. The Company is currently evaluating the fair market value of the
assets purchased and will make appropriate adjustments as soon as that
evaluation is complete.
The Company acquired the Monroe DC with the intent of being able to purchase
merchandise at a lower cost and of gaining other operating efficiencies. No
adjustments have been made to reflect these potential savings, if any, in these
pro forma financial statements since management of the Company has no objective
basis to arrive at the exact amount of these potential savings.
The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Statements do not purport to be
indicative of the combined results of operations that actually would have
occurred if the transaction described above had been effected at the dates
indicated or to project future results of operations for any period. The
unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Statements should be read in conjunction
with the Company's Financial Statements and the Monroe DC's Financial Statements
and respective related notes thereto.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
November 30, 1998
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
APS Holding Corporation:
In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheets and the related statements of
income, changes in owner's investment and cash flows present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Monroe 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, evidenced 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 Monroe Distribution Center as a separate business unit of APS
Holding Corporation.

MONROE 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 Monroe Distribution Center ("Monroe") 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 Louisiana area. Monroe is not a legal entity. Monroe'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 Monroe. 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 Monroe'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 Monroe had it operated as an unaffiliated entity. The amounts of such
overhead costs charged were $764,335, $1,002,035, $484,329 and $437,470 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 - Monroe'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 income, 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 Monroe 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.

INVENTORIES - Inventories consist primarily of replacement automobile
parts and accessories and are stated at the lower of first-in, first-out
("FIFO") cost or market. Monroe's cost of inventory is not necessarily
indicative of the cost that would have been incurred by Monroe had it operated
as an independent entity.
VENDOR INCENTIVES - Monroe 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 Monroe 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 income.
Depreciation and amortization are computed on a straight-line basis
over the estimated useful lives of the assets as set forth below. Depreciation
and amortization expense for property and equipment totaled $18,748, $25,399,
$11,825 and $13,974 for the years ended January 25, 1997 and January 31, 1998
and for the six months ended July 25, 1997 and 1998, respectively.

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, $21,539 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 ended January 27, 1996 ("Fiscal
Year 1996"), Monroe 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.
OTHER ASSETS - Other assets consist primarily of deferred changeover
costs incurred by Monroe to change the inventory of new customers over to
inventory supplied by Monroe. The changeover costs are amortized on a
straight-line basis between one to five years.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
INCOME TAXES - Monroe 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.
Monroe is included in the consolidated federal and state income tax
returns of the Company. Current and deferred taxes are calculated by Monroe as
if it were a separate taxpayer. The current taxes payable or receivable are
reflected as a component of owner's investment.
REVENUE RECOGNITION - Monroe 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 - Monroe will adopt SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures
about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," no later than the
fourth quarter of Fiscal Year ending January 30, 1999 ("Fiscal Year 1999"). SFAS
No. 131 establishes standards for the manner in which public business
enterprises report selected information about operating segments.
Monroe will adopt the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 132,
"Employer's Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits," no
later than 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.
Monroe will adopt SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities," no later than the first quarter of Fiscal Year ending
January 27, 2001 ("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 Monroe.

3. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS:
Certain employees of Monroe 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 their 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 $3,886, $5,361, $2,604 and
$2,055 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 Monroe 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. Monroe's share of expense
related to the APS Plan is included in the overhead allocation from the Company.
In connection with the disposal of Monroe (see note 6), the purchaser assumes no
assets or liabilities related to the APS Plan.
