ITEM     1.                FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

GENERAL INFORMATION

Precision Auto Care, Inc. ("PAC" or the "Company") was established to create an
international provider of automotive services which are offered principally as
franchise operations marketed under the "Precision" brand name. On November 12,
1997, simultaneously with the closing of its initial public offering (the
"Offering") of common stock (the "Common Stock"), PAC acquired in a series of
separate merger and exchange offer transactions, businesses engaged in (i)
franchising and operating automobile repair and maintenance service centers
("Precision Tune Auto Care"), (ii) operating self-service and automated car wash
centers ("Precision Auto Wash"), and (iii) franchising and operating fast oil
change and lubrication service centers ("Precision Lube Express"). Through the
Combinations, PAC acquired the outstanding capital stock of WE JAC Corporation
("WE JAC"), Miracle Industries, Inc. ("Miracle Industries"), Lube Ventures, Inc.
("Lube Ventures"), Rocky Mountain Ventures, Inc. ("Rocky Mountain I"), Rocky
Mountain Ventures II, Inc. ("Rocky Mountain II"), Miracle Partners, Inc.
("Miracle Partners"), and membership interests in Prema Properties, Ltd. ("Prema
Properties") Ralston Car Wash, Ltd. ("Ralston Car Wash"), and KBG, LLC ("KBG")
(each a "Constituent Company" and collectively the "Constituent Companies").

The consideration for the Combinations consisted of Common Stock. The
Combinations are accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. WE JAC
has been designated as the accounting acquirer for financial statement
presentation purposes in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC") Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 97, which states that the combining
company which receives the largest portion of voting rights in the combined
corporation is presumed to be the acquirer for accounting purposes. Therefore,
the accompanying historical financial statements as of June 30, 1997 and for the
three month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1997 that are presented as the
historical financial statements of the registrant are statements of WE JAC.
Unless the context otherwise requires, all references herein to the Company
include WE JAC and the other Constituent Companies.

Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the
results for full years. The financial statements included herein should be read
in conjunction with the Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements of the Company
and the related notes thereto, the Financial Statements of WE JAC, Miracle
Industries, Lube Ventures, and Prema Properties, and related notes thereto, and
management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations related thereto, all of which are included in the Company's
Registration Statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-34439), as amended (the
"Registration Statement"), filed with the SEC in connection with the Offering.
Additionally the financial statements herein should be read in conjunction with
the Financial Statements of Rocky Mountain I, Rocky Mountain II, Miracle
Partners, and Ralston Car Wash and related notes thereto, all of which are
included in the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-4 (No. 333-34449) as
amended (the "Registration Statement") filed with the SEC in conjunction with
the Combination.

                         Notes to Financial Statements
                               September 30, 1997
                                  (Unaudited)

1.  Basis of Presentation

Precision Auto Care, Inc. ("PAC" or the "Company") was established to create an
international provider of automotive services which are offered principally as
franchise operations marketed under the "Precision" brand name. On November 12,
1997, PAC acquired the Constituent Companies for consideration consisting of
common stock. The closing of the Offering also occurred on that date.

For financial statement purposes, WEJAC, one of the Constituent Companies, has
been identified as the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, the historical
financial statements represent those of WEJAC prior to the Combination and the
Offering. The Combination was accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting. Allocations of the purchase price to the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed of the Constituent Companies have been initially assigned
and recorded based on the book value at the time of the Combination and may be
revised as additional information concerning the valuation of such assets and
liabilities becomes available.

The interim financial statements for the three month periods ended September 30,
1996 and 1997 are unaudited, and certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been omitted. In the opinion of management,
all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary to
fairly present the financial position of the company, results of operations and
cash flows with respect to the interim financial statements, have been included.
The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative
of the results for the entire fiscal year.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information for the three month
periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1997 includes the results of the
Constituent Companies as if the Combinations had occurred at the beginning of
each respective three month period. The unaudited pro forma combined balance
sheet gives effect to the Combinations as if they had occurred on September 30,
1997. The pro forma combined financial information includes the effects of : (i)
the Combinations; (ii) the provision for income taxes as if the income was
subject to corporate federal and state income taxes during the periods; (iii)
repayment of debt of $18.6 million; and (iv) amortization of goodwill resulting
from the Combinations. Prior to the Combinations, the Constituent Companies were
not under common control or management; accordingly, the pro forma combined
financial information may not be indicative of or comparable to the Company's
post-Combination results of operations.

2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no significant changes in the accounting policies of the Company
during the periods presented. For a description of these policies, refer to Note
1 to the Financial Statements to WE JAC, Miracle Industries, Lube Ventures,
Rocky Mountain I, Rocky Mountain II, Miracle Partners, Prema Properties, and
Ralston Car Wash, included

                                                                               3

in the Financial Statements contained in the Company's Registration Statements
on Forms S-1 and/or S-4.

3.  Credit Facility and Long-Term Debt

On November 12, 1997, the Company received a commitment from Signet Bank for a
$20 million line of credit. $10 million of the facility may be used as a
revolving line and credit and $10 million for acquisitions and capital
expenditures. The credit agreement will require the Company to comply with
various loan covenants, which include maintenance of certain financial ratios,
restrictions on additional indebtedness and restrictions on liens, guarantees,
advances, capital expenditures, sale of assets and dividends. Interest on the
outstanding balances will be computed on either the Bank's floating and
fluctuating prime commercial lending rate or the London Interbank Offered rate
(LIBOR) plus a margin ranging from .25% to 2.00% depending on certain financial
ratios. Availability fees ranging from .25% to .30% will be payable on the
unused portion of the line of credit. The Company's subsidiaries are required to
guarantee repayment of all amounts due under the credit facility.

On November 12, 1997, proceeds from the Offering were used to prepay outstanding
long-term debt some of which was guaranteed by stockholders of the Constituent
Companies who were released from personal guarantees on that debt. The Company
simultaneously drew on the line of credit for $1.6 million to pay off any
balances remaining after application of the Offering proceeds.

4.  Capital Stock

On November 12, 1997 PAC completed the Offering, which involved the sale by PAC
of 2,666,540 shares of Common stock at a price to the public of $9.00 per share.
The net proceeds to PAC from the Offering (after deducting underwriting
discounts, commissions and offering expenses) was approximately $20.1 million.
Of this amount approximately $18.6 million was used to repay debt.

5.  Earnings Per Share

The computation of pro forma net income per share for the three month period
ended September 30, 1997 is based on 5,496,880 shares outstanding which includes
the following shares:

<TABLE>
<S> <C>
   Issued in consideration for acquisition of Constituent companies       2,780,695
   Sold pursuant to offering                                              2,666,540
   Shares issued upon exercise of common stock warrants
       simultaneously with the offering                                      27,200
   Shares outstanding using the treasury stock method on options
       and warrants                                                          22,445
                                                                          ---------
                                                                          5,496,880
                                                                          =========
</TABLE>

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Accounting Standard No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS No. 128"), which for
the


                                                                               4

<PAGE>


Company will be effective for the year ended June 30, 1998. SFAS No. 128
simplifies the standards required under the current accounting rules and
replaces the presentation of primary earnings per share and fully diluted
earnings per share with a presentation of basic earnings per share ("Basic EPS")
and diluted earnings per share ("Diluted EPS"). Basic EPS excludes dilution and
is determined by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the
weighted average of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS
reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities and other
contracts to issue common shares were exercised or converted into common stock.
Diluted EPS is computed similarly to fully diluted earnings per share under
current accounting rules and will be required to be disclosed.

Implementation of SFAS No. 128 is not expected to have a material effect on the
Company's earnings per share as determined under current accounting rules.

6.  Income Taxes

Prior to the combinations, the stockholders of Miracle Industries, Lube
Ventures, Rocky Mountain I, Rocky Mountain II, and Miracle Partners elected to
be taxed under Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. The members of Prema
Properties, Ralston Car Wash, and KBG elected to be taxed as Limited Liability
Companies of the Internal Revenue Code. Under these provisions, the entities
were not subject to income taxation for federal purposes. As pass through
entities the stockholders and members report their share of taxable earnings or
losses in their personal tax returns.

The Company intends to file a consolidated federal income tax return which
includes the operations of the Constituent Companies for periods commencing on
the date of the Combinations (November 12, 1997). The Constituent Companies will
be individually responsible for filing federal income tax returns based on
earnings through November 11, 1997. The provision for income taxes included in
the Pro Forma Combined Statements of Operations for the three month periods
ended September 30, 1996 and 1997 assumes the application of statutory federal
and state income tax rates and the partial non-deductibility of goodwill
amortization.

7.  Commitments and Contingencies

The Company carries a broad range of insurance coverage, including general and
business liability, commercial property, workers' compensation and general
umbrella policies. In November 1997, the Company secured Directors and Officers
and Prospectus Liability insurance coverage with an aggregate limit of $5
million. The Company has not incurred significant claims or losses on any of its
insurance policies during the periods presented in the accompanying financial
statements.

At June 30, 1997, the Company has lease commitments for office space, a training
center, and a number of service center locations. These leases expire between
1997 and 2008, with renewal options in certain of the leases. Most of the
service center location leases are subleased to franchisees. Rent expense for
office space and warehouse facilities of approximately $300,000, $308,000 and

ITEM 2          Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
                Results of Operations

Introduction

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Pro Forma
Financial Statements of the Company and related notes thereto and the Financial
Statements of WEJAC and the Constituent Companies and related notes thereto,
included in the Company's Registration Statements. Statements contained in this
discussion regarding future financial performance and results and other
statements that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. The
forward looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties to
the Company, including but not limited to the risks associated with: successful
integration of the Constituent Companies, factors affecting internal growth and
management of growth, the Company's acquisition strategy and availability of
financing, the automotive industry, seasonality, quarterly fluctuations and
general economic conditions, dependence on technology and other factors
discussed in the Registration Statements.


Results of Operations-Pro Forma Combined

The pro forma combined results of operations of the Company for the periods
discussed herein are only a summation of the revenues, direct costs, general and
administrative expenses, and operating income of the Constituent Companies on a
historical basis, which include pro forma adjustments or amortization of
goodwill, interest expense eliminated on prepayment of debt and income taxes.
This data may not be comparable to and may not be indicative of the Company's
post-Combination results of operations due to a variety of factors, including:
(i) the Constituent Companies were not under common control or management and
had different tax and capital structures during the periods presented; (ii) the
Company will incur incremental costs related to its new corporate management and
costs of being a public company; (iii) the Company will use the purchase method
of accounting and establish a new basis of accounting to record


                                                                               6

the Combinations; (iv) the combined data does not reflect potential benefits and
cost savings the Company may realize when operating as a combined entity. Future
quarterly results may also be materially affected by the timing and magnitude of
acquisitions, integration costs, variation in product mix, and seasonality of
the automotive service industry. See "Seasonality and Quarterly
Fluctuations--Pro Forma Combined." Accordingly, the operating results for
interim periods shown or for other interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be achieved for any subsequent interim period
or for a full fiscal year.


Three Months Ended September 30, 1997 Compared to Three Months Ended September
30, 1996-Pro Forma Combined

The following table sets forth certain selected pro forma combined financial
data as a percentage of revenues for the period indicated:

                                          Three Months Ended September 30,

                                            1996       %        1997      %
                                        ------------------    ---------------

Direct Cost                               8,213        74       8,389     72

Operating Income                          1,270        11       1,582     14

Revenues. Revenues increased $657,000, or 6%, to $11.7 million for the three
months ended September 30, 1997 from $11.1 million for three months ended
September 30, 1996. This increase is primarily attributable to an increase in
royalty revenue of $246,000; an increase in manufacturing and distribution
revenue of $596,000; and an increase of car wash and lube revenues of $70,000
and is offset by a decrease in franchise development revenues of $250,000.

Direct Cost. Direct Cost increased $186,000, or 2%, to $8.4 million for the
three months ended September 30, 1997 from $8.2 million for the three months
ended September 30, 1996. This reflects an increase of $475,000 in manufacturing
and distribution costs which is offset by decreases of $165,000 in development,
$60,000 in royalty cost, and $60,000 in other costs.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses
increased $118,000, or 12%, to $1.1 million for the three months ended September
30, 1997 from $982,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996. General
and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues remained constant at 9%
for both periods.

Operating Income. Operating income increased $312,000, or 25%, to $1.6 million
for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $1.3 million for the three
months ended September 30, 1996. As a percentage of revenue, operating income
increased to 14% from 11% primarily due to increased revenues and margins in
royalty and manufacturing.

Net income was $884,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997, compared
with $388,000, for the three months ended September 30, 1996, an increase of
128%. Per share earnings for the three months ended September 30, 1997 were
$0.16, compared with $0.07 for the three months ended September 30, 1996, an
increase of 128%.

Seasonality and Quarterly Fluctuations - Pro Forma Combined

Seasonal changes may impact various sectors of the Company's business
differently and, accordingly, the Company's operations may be affected by
seasonal trends in certain periods. In particular, severe weather in winter
months can adversely affect the Company because such weather makes it difficult
for consumers in affected parts of the country to travel to Precision Tune Auto
Care, Precision Lube Express, and Precision Auto Wash centers and obtain
services. Severe winter weather and rainy conditions may also adversely impact
the Company's sale and installation of car wash equipment. Conversely, the
Precision Auto Wash business is favorably impacted by the normal winter weather
conditions as demand for the Company's car wash service increases substantially
in winter months.

Three Months Ended  September 30, 1997 Compared to Three Months Ended  September
30,  1996-WE JAC Only  (Historical financial results)

The following table sets forth certain selected financial data as a percentage
of revenues for the period indicated:


                                       Three Months Ended September 30

Operating Income                      1,249     18         1,233        18

Revenues. Revenues remained constant at $6.8 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1997 and for three months ended September 30, 1996. An increase in
royalty revenue of $240,000 was offset by a decrease in franchise development
revenue of $261,000.

Direct Cost. Direct Cost decreased $281,000, or 6%, to $5.0 million for the
three months ended September 30, 1997 from $4.7 million for the three month
period ended September 30, 1996. This reflects decreases of $155,000 in
development, $57,000 in royalty cost, and $60,000 in distribution.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses
increased $242,000, or 43%, to $805,000 for the three months ended September 30,
1997 from $563,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996.

Operating Income. Operating income decreased $11,000 to $953,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1997 from $964,000 for the three months ended

constant at 11%.

Net income was $428,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997, compared
with $396,000, for the three months ended September 30, 1996, an increase of
8%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources - WE JAC

The following table sets forth selected information from the statement of cash
flows of WEJAC:

                                                Three months ended September 30,

                                                    1996               1997
                                                    ----               ----
Net cash provided by operating activities        $ 705,000         $  406,000
Net cash used in investing activities             (381,000)          (171,000)
Net cash used in financing activities             (588,000)          (248,000)
Change in cash and cash equivalents               (264,000)           (13,000)

From July 1, 1997 through September 30, 1997, WEJAC generated $406,000 in net
cash from operating activities. This amount was lower than the net cash provided
by operating activities for the three months ended September 30, 1996
principally because of deferred costs associated with the Combination and
Offering. Capital expenditures were $28,000 and purchases of franchise rights
and trademarks were $143,000. Net reduction in debt was $248,000.

On November 12, 1997, the Company received a commitment from Signet Bank for a
$20 million line of credit. $10 million of the facility may be used as a
revolving line and credit and $10 million for acquisitions, capital
expenditures. The credit agreement will require the Company to comply with
various loan covenants, which include maintenance of certain financial ratios,
restrictions on additional indebtedness and restrictions on liens, guarantees,
advances, capital expenditures, sale of assets and dividends. Interest on the
outstanding balances will be computed on either the Bank's floating and
fluctuating prime commercial lending rate or the London Interbank Offered rate
(LIBOR) plus a margin ranging from .25% to 2.00% depending on certain financial
ratios. Availability fees ranging from .25% to .30% will be payable on the
unused portion of the line of credit. The Company's subsidiaries will be
required to guarantee repayment of all amounts due under the credit facility.

On November 12, 1997 PAC completed the Offering, which involved the sale by PAC
of 2,666,540 shares of Common stock at a price to the public of $9.00 per share.
The net proceeds to PAC from the Offering (after deducting underwriting
discounts, commissions and offering expenses) was approximately $20.1 million.
Of this amount $18.6 was used to prepay long-term debt. The Company
simultaneously drew on the line of credit for $1.6 million to pay off any
balances remaining after application of the Offering proceeds.


Seasonality and Quarterly Fluctuations - WE JAC

Net revenues and net income are generally higher in the first and fourth
quarters. The Company expects this seasonality to continue in the future.


                                                                               9

                          PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.                     Legal Proceedings

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to routine litigation in the
ordinary course of business, including contract, franchisee and
employment-related litigation. In the course of enforcing its rights under
existing and former franchisee agreements, the Company is subject to complaints
and letters threatening litigation concerning the interpretation and application
of these agreements, particularly in the case of defaults and terminations. None
of these routine matters, individually or in the aggregate, are believed by the
Company to be material to its business or financial condition or results of
operations.


Item 2.  Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds.

                  (a)      Not applicable.

                  (b)      Not applicable.

                  (c) As previously reported in Part II of the Company's
Registration Statement on Form S-1, in connection with the transactions which
formed a part of the Plan of Reorganization and Agreement for Share Exchange
Offers (the "Combination Agreement") dated August 27, 1997 by and among
Precision Auto Care, Inc., a Virginia corporation, WE JAC Corporation, a
Delaware corporation, Miracle Industries, Inc., an Ohio corporation, Lube
Ventures, Inc., a Delaware corporation, Miracle Partners, Inc., a Delaware
corporation, Prema Properties, Ltd., an Ohio limited liability company, Rocky
Mountain Ventures, Inc., a Colorado corporation, Rocky Mountain Ventures II,
Inc., a Colorado corporation, Ralston Car Wash, Ltd., a Colorado limited
liability company, and The Karl Byrer Group, Inc., a Colorado corporation, the
Company issued a total of 305,060 shares in transactions which were exempt from
registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof and Rule
152 promulgated thereunder. These shares were issued in consideration for the
Company's acquisition of certain companies pursuant to the Combination
Agreement. The stock certificates representing such shares bear restrictive
legends and the five individuals who acquired such shares represented to the
Company they were acquiring the shares for investment purposes.

                  (d) On November 6, 1997, the Company's Registration Statement
on Form S-1 (Commission File No. 333-34439) was declared effective by the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The Registration Statement covered an
offering of 2,810,140 shares of the Company's common stock. The offering was
completed following the sale of all of the securities which were registered.
A.G. Edwards & Sons, Inc. and Ferris, Baker Watts, Incorporated acted as
co-managing underwriters for the offering. The title of the class of securities
registered was the Common Stock of the Company. 2,666,540 shares were registered
and sold by the Company. An additional 143,600 shares were registered and sold
on behalf of selling shareholders.

         The aggregate offering price of the shares of common stock sold by the
Company was $23,998,860 and the aggregate offering price of the shares of common


                                                                              10

<PAGE>


stock sold by the selling shareholders was $1,292,400. The Company incurred
approximately $2.2 million in expenses in connection with the issuance and
distribution of the securities registered. This amount does not include
$1,679,920 of underwriting discounts and commissions payable by the Company.
All such expenses involved direct or indirect payments to third parties and did
involve any direct or indirect payments to directors or officers (or their
associates) or to persons owning 10% or more of any class of equity securities
of the Company or to the Company's affiliates. The net offering proceeds to the
registrant after deducting the total expenses was approximately $20.1 million.

         The Company did not apply any of the proceeds from the effective date
of the Securities Act registration statement to the ending date of the reporting
period covered by this Form 10-Q because the transaction closed following the
ending date of the reporting period. From the effective date of the Securities
Act registration statement to December 15, 1997, the Company has used $18.6
million of the proceeds to discharge indebtedness and $1.5 million of the
proceeds to finance the cash purchase price of its recently completed
acquisition of Worldwide Drying Systems, Inc. All of such payments were direct
or indirect payments to unaffiliated third parties. As noted in the prospectus
forming a part of the Registration Statement, certain amounts of the
indebtedness that was repaid with the net proceeds of the offering were
guaranteed by certain directors and officers of the Company. This application of
proceeds reflects the repayment of $1.3 million more of indebtedness than was
contemplated by the prospectus in lieu of the immediate payment of expenses
associated with upgrading signage and installing a "point of sale" computer
system at each Precision Auto Care center. The Company does not believe that
this is a material difference and notes that it applied the proceeds in this
manner because it will take time to install the point of sale system and signage
at each center and the Company determined it was prudent to eliminate additional
indebtedness pending the application of funds to the signage upgrades and point
of sale computer system installations in the coming months.
