                         PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

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 (the
"Combinations"),  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 and nine month periods ended March 31, 1997, that are presented as
the historical financial statements of the Company, are statements of WE JAC,
the accounting acquirer. 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.

                           Precision Auto Care, Inc.
                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                 March 31, 1998

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 of Precision Auto Care, Inc. represent those of WEJAC prior
to the Combination and the Offering and include the results of operations and
cash flows of the Constituent Companies subsequent to the Combination. 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 estimated fair market 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 accompanying financial statements are unaudited, and certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. The
statements have been prepared in the ordinary course of business for the purpose
of providing information with respect to the interim periods, and are subject to
audit at the end of the fiscal year. 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 for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results
for the entire fiscal year.

The accompanying unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations includes
the results of the Constituent Companies as if the Combinations had occurred at
beginning of fiscal year 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 statements of operations may not
be indicative of or comparable to the Company's post-Combination results of
operations.

3.  Credit Facility and Long-Term Debt

On November 12, 1997, the Company entered into a three year $20 million Loan and
Security Agreement with a bank. The Loan and Security Agreement provides for a
revolving line of credit and an acquisition and capital expenditure line of
credit. Borrowings under the acquisition and capital expenditure line of credit
are amortized over a five year period and borrowings under both the acquisition
and revolving lines of credit at due and payable on November 1, 2000. The credit
agreement, as amended, requires 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 is computed on either the Bank's floating and fluctuating prime
commercial lending rate or the London Inter-bank Offered rate (LIBOR) plus a
margin ranging from .25% to 2.00% depending on certain financial ratios.
Availability fees ranging from .25% to .30% are payable on the unused portion of
the line of credit. The Company's subsidiaries have guaranteed repayment of all
amounts due under the credit facility.

As of March 31, 1998, the Company had outstanding $7.4 million on the revolving
line of credit and $6.9 million on the acquisition line bearing an interest rate
of 7.4% per annum.

4.  Capital Stock

On November 12, 1997, the Company issued 1,436,799 shares of Common Stock in
connection with the Combination and 2,666,540 shares in connection with the
Offering. The shares issued in connection with the Offering were sold at a price
of $9.00 per share. The net proceeds to the Company from the Offering (after
deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses) were $19.6
million. Of this amount $18.6 million was used to repay debt.

In January the Company issued 17,114 shares of Common Stock to employees under
the 1997 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, which permits employees to purchase
shares of the Company's Common Stock at 85% of fair market value during the
quarterly offering period.

In March 1998 the Company issued 619,265 shares of Common Stock in connection  
with the acquisition of Promotora de Franquicias Praxis, S.A. de C.V. (See Note 
10 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

5.  Accounting and Disclosure Changes

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No.
130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" which requires companies to report by
major components and in total, the change in its net assets during the period
from non-owner sources. The FASB also issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about
segments of an Enterprise and Related Information", which establishes annual and
interim reporting standards for a company's operating segments and related
disclosures about its products, services, geographic areas and major customers.
Both Statements are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1997. Adoption of these standards will not impact the Company's consolidated
financial position, results of operations or cash flows, and any effect, while
not yet determined by the Company, will be , limited to the presentation of its
disclosures.

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Accounting Standard No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS No. 128"), which is 
effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 
1997. SFAS 128 had no material effect on the reported earnings per share for the
Company.

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 will
include 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 and nine month
periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 assumes the application of statutory
federal and state income tax rates and the partial non-deductibility of goodwill
amortization.

8.  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, this




<PAGE>





amount was subsequently increased to $10 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 March 31, 1998, the Company has lease commitments for office space, a
training center, and a number of service center locations. These leases expire
between 1998 and 2008, with renewal options in certain of the leases. Most of
the service center location leases are subleased to franchisees.

The future minimum lease payments and related sublease payments for leases with
terms in excess of one year as of March 31, 1998 have not materially changed
from June 30, 1997 when they were as follows:


                    Future Minimum         Sublease
                    Lease Payments          Income             Net

                       ==========         ==========        ==========

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.

9.  Purchase Accounting

WE JAC issued in November 1997 a total of 1,436,799 shares of common stock to
shareholders of the Constituent Companies in exchange for all of the outstanding
shares of the respective companies. The fair market value of the shares issued
is determined by the offering price of $9.00 per share for a total of
$12,931,938. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction
consisted of the following:

      Assets
            Cash                          $     249,790
            Accounts Receivable                 563,131
            Inventory                         1,710,838
            Prepaid Expenses                    419,511
            Building and Fixtures             9,544,941
            Equipment and Vehicles              444,145
            Land                              2,606,975
            Other Assets                        537,166



<PAGE>





      Liabilities

            Accounts payable              $   1,456,076
            Accrued liabilities                 979,093
            Current and non-current debt     13,237,528





The difference between the total consideration of the stock and the net value of
the assets received and liabilities assumed is $12,528,138 which was recorded as
cost in excess of net assets of acquired businesses. Inventory was valued at the
lower of cost or market. Accounts receivable is the amount expected to be
collectible. Property, plant and equipment have been recorded at estimated fair
market value and may be adjusted when further evidence would warrant such an
adjustment. Liabilities are recorded as true obligations assumed by PAC.

10.   Acquisitions

On March 31, 1998, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of
Promotora de Franquicias Praxis, S.A. de C.V. ("Praxis"), the Master Licensee of
the Precision Tune Auto Care franchise for Mexico. The purchase price was
approximately $10.5 million, which included $3.8 million in cash and 619,265
shares of the Company's common stock valued at $6.7 million. The cash portion of
the purchase price was financed by borrowing under the Company's acquisition
line of credit.

On March 20, 1998, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of
Greenwood Manufacturing, Inc. ("Greenwood"), a sheet metal fabricator, for
approximately $450,000 in cash. The Company also acquired on March 31, 1998, a
25% member interest in Indy Ventures L.L.C., the owner and operator car wash and
lube centers Indiana. The Company had previously acquired a 50% ownership in
Indy Ventures in connection with the Combination in November 1997. The purchase
of Greenwood and the 25% members interest in Indy Ventures was financed by
borrowing under the Company's line of credit.

The acquisitions of Praxis, Greenwood and Indy Ventures were accounted using the
purchase method of accounting, and the purchase prices were allocated to the
assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair market
value. The excess of the preliminary allocation of the cost of the acquisition
over the estimated fair market value of the net assets acquired is being
amortized over a period of thirty years.

               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 for 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 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".
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 MARCH 31, 1998 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,
1997-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 March 31
                                    1998           %           1997        %
                                  ---------------------------------------------
                                                   (in thousands)
Revenue                           $11,003          100       $10,387       100
Direct Cost                         8,015           73         7,396        71

Revenues. Revenues increased $0.6 million, or 5.9%, to $11.0 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 from $10.4 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1997. Development sales increased $181,000 over 1997 from the sale of
a master license to Indonesia and an increase franchise sales in Mexico. Royalty
revenue for the quarter from the auto care system increased proportionately with
the growth in center sales. The mild winter weather improved car wash equipment
sales in the third quarter by $295,000. The milder weather allowed construction
to proceed which would normally be slowed or halted during inclement weather.
Milder winter weather also contributed to an increase of $198,000 in car wash
and lube revenues as cars were able to move about more.

Direct Cost. Direct Cost increased $619,000, or 8.4%, to $8.0 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 from $7.4 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1997. The increase reflects a $38,000 increase in development costs
from improved sales. Improved efficiencies and cost control in retail operations
led to a decrease in direct costs of $172,000. Increased sales in manufacturing
and distribution led to a resultant increase in direct costs of $421,000.
Although company store operations showed improved sales, direct costs increased
$256,000 which was disproportional to the sales increase. This increase resulted
from costs associated with the additional marketing programs and personnel
needed to build same store sales in the future. Direct cost as a percentage of
sales increased to 73% from 71% from March 31, 1998 to March 31, 1997.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses
decreased $76,000, or 7.9%, to $885,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1998 from $961,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997. General and
administrative expenses as a percentage of sales decreased to 8.0% from 9.3%
from March 31, 1997 to March 31, 1998. The decrease is attributed to the
continued consolidation of support activities from the field and the continued
implementation of a cost control program.

Operating Income. Operating income increased $192,000, or 14.7%, to $1.5 million
for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $1.3 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1997. As a percentage of revenue, operating income increased to
13.6%




<PAGE>





from 12.6% primarily due to increased revenues and margins in franchising,
royalty income and manufacturing and distribution operations.

Net Income. Net income increased $181,000 or 41.3% to $619,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 from $436,000, for the three months ended March 31,
1997. Net income as a percent of sales increased to 5.6% from 4.2%. Per share
earnings increased to $.11 per share for the three months ended March 31, 1998
from $0.08 for the three months ended March 31, 1997.

Earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and the amortization of
goodwill (EBITDA earnings). EBITDA increased $293,000 or 16.8% to $2.0 million
for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $1.7 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1997.

NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,

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


                                           Nine Months Ended March 31,
                                   1998            %          1997        %
                                  -------------------------------------------

Direct Cost                        24,449           71       24,388       74
General and Administrative          3,050            9        2,786        9
Operating Income                    5,031           15        4,046       11


Revenues. Revenues increased $1.2 million, or 3.6%, to $34.3 million for the
nine months ended March 31, 1998 from $33.1 million for the nine months ended
March 31, 1997. Franchising activities showed a nine month decrease of $343,000
over last year. During the first nine months of 1997 the Company sold master
licenses to Brazil for $320,000 and Jamaica for $90,000 which was only partially
offset by the sales of master licenses to Indonesia for $200,000 and the
Dominican Republic for $85,000 during the first nine months of this year. Sales
of new franchises during the first nine months of 1998 were below 1997 as a
result of having to re-file and get approval of the Company's Uniform Franchise
Offering Circular (UFOC) during the second quarter of FY1998 due to the merger
and IPO. Franchise sales could not be made or were "blacked out" until that
offering circular was approved by all the required states, which has been
completed. Royalty revenues increased $610,000 over 1997. Precision Tune Auto
Care same store sales increases and a 7% overall increase in Precision Tune Auto
Care retail sales accounts for the increase. Favorable weather conditions, and
increased marketing and advertising efforts led to the increase in manufacturing
and distribution revenue of $448,000 and car wash and lube revenues of $466,000.

Direct Cost. Direct Cost increased $61,000, or 0.3%, to $24.5 million for the
nine months ended March 31, 1998 from $24.4 million for the nine months ended
March 31, 1997. Franchising costs decreased $94,000, primarily as a result of a
decrease in





<PAGE>





advertising costs associated with the "black out" on sales activities during the
period.

Increased efficiencies and the purchase of area sub-franchisor rights accounts
for the $265,000 decrease in royalty costs. Additional sales, advertising and
personnel expenses account for the $110,000 increase in manufacturing and
distribution costs. Company store operations also experienced an increase of
$396,000 in costs as continued infrastructure for marketing programs and
personnel were introduced into the system to build same store sales in the
future.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses
increased $264,000, or 9.5%, to $3.1 million for the nine months ended March 31,
1998 from $2.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 1997. General and
administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues remained essentially
constant at 9% from March 31, 1997 to March 31, 1998.

Operating Income. Operating income increased $1.0 million or 24.3%, to $5.0
million for the nine months ended March 31, 1998 from $4.0 million for the nine
months ended March 31, 1997. As a percentage of revenue, operating income
increased to 15% from 11% primarily due to increased revenues and margins in
royalty and manufacturing and distribution operations.

Net Income. Net income increased $0.6 million or 35.6% to $2.4 million for the
nine months ended March 31, 1998 from $1.8 million for the nine months ended
March 31, 1997. Per share earnings increased to $.44 per share for the nine
months ended March 31, 1998 from $0.32 for the nine months ended March 31, 1997.

Earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and the amortization of
goodwill, (EBITDA earnings). EBITDA increased $1.1 million or 20% to $6.8
million from the nine months ended March 31, 1998 from $5.7 million for the nine
months ended March 31, 1997.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS-ACTUAL

On November 12, 1997, Precision Auto Care, Inc., a non-operating company
acquired in a series of separate merger and stock exchange offer transactions
the outstanding capital stock of the Constituent Companies, including WE JAC. In
the Combination of the Constituent Companies, WE JAC shareholders received the
largest portion of he voting rights in the combined corporation. In accordance
with the Securities and Exchange Commission's Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 97,
WE JAC is presumed to be the acquirer of the Constituent Companies for
accounting and reporting purposes. Therefore, the Company's actual reported
results of operations include the results of operations of WE JAC for the period
subsequent to the Combination on November 12, 1997. Consequently, the actual
results of operations reported herein may not be comparable to and indicative of
the Company's post Combination results of operations.

Revenues. Revenues increased $4.2 million to $11.0 million or 62% for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 from $6.8 million for the three months ended March
31, 1997. Development sales increased $214,000 over 1997 from the sale of a
master license to Indonesia and franchises in Mexico. The acquisition of
additional operating units increased manufacturing and distribution revenues by

by allowing construction to proceed which would normally be halted during
inclement weather. Company store operations increased $1.4 million, there were
to comparable operations in 1997.

three months ended March 31, 1998 from $5.0 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1997. This increase is directly attributable to manufacturing and
distribution costs of $2.1 million associated with the acquisition of additional
operating units. Company wash and lube operation costs of $979,000 also
contributed to the increase. There were no company wash and lube store
operations in 1997.

three months ended March 31, 1998 from 10% for the three months ended March 31,
1997.

Operating  Income.  Operating income increased $0.6 million or 76% to $1.5

                                             Nine Months Ended March 31,
                                     1998             %         1997        %

Revenue                             $28,148          100       $20,442      100

Revenues. Revenues increased $7.7 million to $28.1 million or 38% for the nine
months ended March 31, 1998 from $20.4 million for the nine months ended Match
31, 1997. Franchise and master license sales showed a $282,000 decrease in at
March 31, 1998 over last year. Large master license sales in FY1996 and lower
franchise sales resulting from a "black out" period while a new UFOC was
approved, exacerbated the difference between the results for development in the
first nine months of FY1998 vs. FY1997. Increases in Precision Tune Auto Care
same store sales of 4% and 7% in retail sales, led to an increase in royalty
revenue of $631,000. The acquisition of additional operating units increased
manufacturing and distribution revenue by $5.2 million. The addition of company
wash and lube operations added wash and lube revenues of $2.2 million.

Direct Cost. Direct Cost increased $5.3 million, or 36%, to $19.9 million for
the nine months ended March 31, 1998 from $14.7 million for the nine month
period ended March 31, 1997. Development costs decreased $176,000 during the
"black out" period as advertising and sales costs were curtailed. Royalty costs
increased $214,000 from increased sales volume. The increase in manufacturing
and distribution costs of $3.9 million is accounted for primarily by the costs
associated with the purchase of additional operating units. Car wash operation
costs increased $1.4 million over the previous year when there were no sales for
company store wash and lube operations.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses
increased $570,000, or 27%, to $2.7 million for the nine months ended March 31,
1998 from $2.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 1997. Additional
costs associated with the merger of the companies and operating as a public
company, account for most of this increase. General and administrative expenses
as a percentage of revenues, remained at 10% for the nine months ended March 31,
1998 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 1997.

Operating Income. Operating income increased $1.2 million or 42% to $4.1 million
for the nine months ended March 31, 1998 from $2.9 million for the nine months
ended March 31, 1997. Operating income as a percentage of revenue increased to
15% from 14% over the same period last year.

Net income increased $0.7 million to $1.8 million or 64% for the nine months
ended December 31, 1997, from $1.1 million for the nine months ended March 31,
1997. Net income as a percentage of revenue increased to 7% from 5% over the
same period last year.

</TABLE>


From July 1, 1997 through March 31, 1998, the Combined Companies used $1.2
million in net cash from operating activities. This amount was lower than the
net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended March 31,
1997 principally because of the increase in sales and the resulting accounts
receivable during the period. In addition, inventory increased to service the
additional sales. Prompt payment to our vendors to insure timely delivery of
needed parts and supplies decreased accounts payable. Increased income for the
period led to an increase in the use of cash required for income taxes. The
significant use of cash used by investing activities for the nine months ended
March 31, 1998 primarily consisted of the acquisition costs associated with the
purchase of the additional operating units. Net cash provided by financing
activities for the nine months ended March 31, 1998 included $24.6 million in
proceeds from the Offering less transaction costs of $5.0 million and payment on
the original long-term debt of $9.8 million. This was offset by an proceeds from
a new term loan and line of credit of $7.4 million and an increase in a new term
loan of $8.5 million. The increase in cash results from the balance of the
proceeds of the Offering offset against the payment on the original debt.

On November 12, 1997, the Company received from Signet Bank a $20 million line
of credit, $10 million which was structured as a revolving line of credit to be
used for working capital purposes and $10 million of which was structured as a
line for term loans to fund acquisitions. The bank, which is now part of First
Union National Bank has subsequently increased the line of credit to $25
million, with flexible thresholds for the working capital and acquisition
portions. The credit agreement requires the Company to comply with various loan
covenants, which include maintenance of certain financial ratios, restrictions
on (among other things) additional indebtedness, liens, guarantees, advances,
capital expenditures, sale of assets and dividends and procedures for the
approval of acquisitions. 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 joint and several obligors with respect to all amounts due
under the credit facility.

The Company expects that the consummation of future acquisitions could reduce
the Company's liquidity, therefore, the Company intends to make arrangements to
secure additional financing to fund future acquisitions and related working
capital demands. There can be no assurance that the Company will obtain such
financing or that such financing will be obtained on terms favorable to the
Company.

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 $19.6 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

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. 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.
