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

                        LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        Midas' cash and cash equivalents totaled $2.6 million at the end of
second quarter fiscal 2000 and $9.8 million at the end of second quarter fiscal
1999.

        The Company generated net cash flows from operating activities of $6.5
million for the first six months of fiscal 2000 versus $15.1 million for the
first six months of fiscal 1999. The year-over-year decrease was due to
increased working capital. This increase in working capital in 2000 was due to a
combination of the normal seasonal upturn in the business (which results in
higher receivables and inventory), and slower collections of receivables. The
seasonal upturn in working capital in 1999 was mitigated by a significant
increase in accounts payable.

        Investing activities used $8.1 million in cash during the first six
months of fiscal 2000 compared with $7.2 million during the same period of
fiscal 1999. During fiscal 2000 the company paid a total of $7.4 million to
acquire 27 small climate control distribution locations as part of its strategy
to expand the Company's distribution channels and to add new products and
services at the wholesale and retail levels. As part of its distribution and
product expansion strategy, the Company plans to add several hundred of these
small climate control distribution locations in North America over the next
three years at an average investment of approximately $300,000 per location. The
Company also invested $9.4 million in fiscal 2000 primarily related to the
Company's ongoing management information systems projects, compared with $12.6
million in fiscal 1999. These capital investments were partially offset by
proceeds from the sale of assets of $8.7 million in fiscal 2000 and $5.4 million
in fiscal 1999. The fiscal 2000 amount includes proceeds of $5.6 million from
the sale of a former manufacturing facility and $1.8 million related to the sale
of the Company's Australian operations, while the fiscal 1999 amount is related
to the sale, licensing and franchising of company-operated shops.

        Net cash used in financing activities was $8.9 million in the first six
months of fiscal 2000 compared with $35.0 million in the first six months of
fiscal 1999. This $26.1 million reduction was primarily the result of a $29.1
million decrease in treasury stock repurchases from $40.1 million in fiscal 1999
to $11.0 million in fiscal 2000, partially offset by lower cash received for
common stock option transactions.

        The Company believes that current cash balances, cash generated from
operations, and availability under its line of credit will be adequate to fund
the growth in working capital and capital expenditures necessary to support
future growth in sales for the foreseeable future, as well as the Company's
share repurchase plan.

</TABLE>


     Sales and revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2000 were $98.4 million
or $0.1 million below last year's fiscal second quarter, with increased
replacement parts sales offsetting declines in other revenue sources. The
increase in replacement parts sales of $2.5 million resulted entirely from the
expansion of the Company's distribution channels which more than offset lower
exhaust and brake product shipments. As part of its distribution and product
expansion strategy, the Company plans to add several hundred small climate
control distribution locations in North America over the next three years. These
distribution locations will serve both Midas Dealers and other customers and
will support the company's introduction of climate control repair services
through the Midas system. During 2000, the Company acquired 27 such locations at
a total cost of $7.4 million. Approximately $1.2 million of the $2.6 million
decline in the Company's other sales and revenues was due to a reduction in the
number of company-operated shops from 17 in 1999 to 10 in 2000.

     Cost of sales and revenues increased $1.4 million or 2.6% compared to the
second quarter of fiscal 1999. Cost of sales and revenues as a percent of total
sales and revenues increased from 53.8% in the second quarter of fiscal 1999 to
55.3% in the second quarter of fiscal 2000. This increase as a percent of sales
was due to the reduction in high margin retail sales at company-operated shops
and relatively lower margins associated with the Company's new product lines.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of
fiscal 2000 increased $0.6 million or 2.5% compared to the fiscal second quarter
of 1999. This increase in operating expenses was due entirely to operating the
previously mentioned new distribution locations, with offsetting savings related
to the sale, licensing and franchising of the company-operated shops and the
consolidation of the Canadian administration functions into the U.S. As a
percentage of total sales and revenues, selling, general and administrative
expenses represented 25.3% of sales during the second quarter of fiscal 2000
versus 24.7% in the second quarter of fiscal 1999.

     Operating income was $19.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2000 or
$2.1 million below the prior year as the operating income margin decreased to
19.4% in fiscal 2000 compared to 21.5% in fiscal 1999.

                                       7
<PAGE>

     Other income of $2.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2000 included
a non-recurring gain of $1.8 million from the sale of Midas' Australian
operations, while the prior year included a $1.0 million gain on the
finalization of the sale of Midas' European operations.

     As a result of the above items and a favorable tax benefit of $0.7 million
on the sale of Midas' Australian operations, net income increased $0.1 million
from $12.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1999 to $12.4 million in the
second quarter of fiscal 2000.

</TABLE>

     Approximately $5.6 million of the overall sales decline of $6.2 million was
due to a reduction in the number of company-operated shops, due to the sale,
licensing and franchising of these shops. Royalties and license fees, real
estate rental revenues and other revenues all showed slight declines, while the
Company showed a $1.4 million increase in its replacement parts business. The
increase in replacement parts sales resulted from the expansion of the Company's
distribution channels which more than offset lower exhaust and brake product
shipments. As part of its distribution and product expansion strategy, the
Company plans to add several hundred small climate control distribution
locations in North America over the next three years. These distribution
locations will serve both Midas Dealers and other customers and will support the
company's introduction of climate control repair services through the Midas
system. During 2000, the Company acquired 27 such locations at a total cost of
$7.4 million.

     Cost of sales and revenues declined $1.6 million or 1.6% compared to the
first six months of fiscal 1999, primarily due to the decline in sales. Cost of
sales and revenues as a percent of total sales and revenues increased slightly
from 53.4% in the first six months of fiscal 1999 to 54.4% in the first six
months of fiscal 2000. This increase as a percent of sales was due to the
reduction in high margin retail sales at company-operated shops and relatively
lower margins associated with the Company's new product lines.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first six months of
fiscal 2000 declined $2.5 million or 4.8% compared to the first six months of
fiscal 1999. This decrease in operating expenses was primarily related to a
reduction in the number of company-operated shops and the consolidation of the
Canadian administration functions into the U.S., which were partially offset by
operating expenses related to the new distribution locations. As a percentage of
total sales and revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses
represented 27.7% of sales during the first six months of fiscal 2000 versus
28.2% in the prior fiscal period.

     Operating income was $31.6 million for the first six months of fiscal 2000
or $2.1 million below the prior year as the operating income margin decreased to
17.9% in fiscal 2000 compared to 18.4% in fiscal 1999.

     Other income of $3.9 million in the first six months of fiscal 2000
included non-recurring gains of $1.2 million from the sale of one of the
Company's former manufacturing plants and $1.8 million from the sale of Midas'
Australian operations. Other income of $1.9 million in the prior year included a
$1.0 million gain on the finalization of the sale of Midas' European operations.

     As a result of the above items, net income increased $1.1 million or 5.9%
from $18.8 million in the first six months of fiscal 1999 to $19.9 million in
the first six months of fiscal 2000.
