principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q
and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for
complete financial statements.

   In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of
adjustments of a normal and recurring nature) considered necessary for a fair
presentation of the financial position and results of operations have been
included. Operating results for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000
are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the
fiscal year ending December 31, 2000. The financial statements presented in
this Report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and footnotes thereto included in Holdings' 1999 Form 10-K filed
March 31, 2000.

   Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1999 financial information
to conform to the 2000 presentation.

merger costs of $0.7 million, severance costs in connection with
reorganization of administrative and other support functions of $0.6 million
and other integration costs of $0.1 million. The costs associated with
terminated transactions relate to expense incurred for acquisition activity
that was terminated.

3. Borrowing Arrangements

   APCOA/Standard's $140,000 9 1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes were issued in
September of 1998 and are due in March of 2008. The Notes are registered with
the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Notes were exchanged for
unregistered notes with substantially identical terms, which had been issued
earlier in 1998 to finance the acquisition of Standard and retire certain
existing indebtedness, and for general working capital purposes.

   Holdings' 11 1/4% Senior Discount Notes were issued in September of 1998
and are due in March of 2008. The Discount Notes are registered with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The issuance was exchanged for
unregistered notes with substantially identical terms, which had been issued
earlier in 1998 to finance the March 1998 acquisitions of Standard.

   In March of 1998, the Company entered into a $40,000 revolving Senior
Credit Facility (the "Facility") with a group of banks. Rates of interest on
borrowings against the Facility are indexed to certain key variable rates. At
September 30, 2000, borrowings under the Facility aggregated $30,000 and there
were letters of credit outstanding against this Facility of $250.

   The Notes and Senior Credit Facility contain covenants that limit
APCOA/Standard from incurring additional indebtedness and issuing preferred
stock, restrict dividend payments, limit transaction with affiliates and
restrict certain other transactions. Substantially all of APCOA/Standard's net
assets are restricted under these provisions and covenants (See Note 4).

4. Subsidiary Guarantors

   All of the Company's direct or indirect wholly owned domestic subsidiaries,
including Standard, other than inactive subsidiaries, fully, unconditionally,
jointly and severally guarantee the Senior Subordinated Notes. Separate
financial statements of the guarantor subsidiaries are not separately
presented because, in the opinion of management, such financial statements are
not material to investors. The non-guarantor subsidiaries include joint
ventures, wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company organized under the laws of
foreign jurisdictions and inactive subsidiaries, all of which are included in
the consolidated financial statements. The following is summarized combining
financial information for the Company, the guarantor subsidiaries of the
Company and the non-guarantor subsidiaries of the Company:

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

General

   AP Holdings ("Holdings") is a subsidiary of Holberg Industries, Inc.
("Holberg"), which owns 84% of the outstanding voting stock and 100% of the
preferred stock of APCOA/Standard Parking, Inc. ("APCOA/Standard" or the
"Company"). APCOA/Standard accounts for all of Holdings' assets and Holdings
conducts substantially all of its business through APCOA/Standard.

   APCOA/Standard operates in a single reportable segment operating parking
facilities under two types of arrangements: management contracts and leases.
Under a management contract, APCOA/Standard typically receives a base monthly
fee for managing the property, and may also receive an incentive fee based on
the achievement of facility revenues above a base amount. In some instances,
APCOA/Standard also receives certain fees for ancillary services. Typically,
all of the underlying revenues, expenses and capital expenditures under a
management contract flow through to the property owner, not to APCOA/Standard.
Under lease arrangements, APCOA/Standard generally pays to the property owner
either a fixed annual rental, a percentage of gross customer collections or a
combination thereof. APCOA/Standard collects all revenues under lease
arrangements and is responsible for most operating expenses, but it is
typically not responsible for major maintenance or capital expenditures. As of
September 30, 2000, APCOA/Standard operated approximately 80% of its 1,889
parking facilities under management contracts and approximately 20% under
leases.

   Parking services revenue--leases contracts. Lease parking services revenues
consist of all gross customer collections received at a leased facility.

   Parking services revenue--management contracts. Management contract
revenues consist of management fees, including both fixed and revenue-based,
and fees for ancillary services such as accounting, equipment leasing,
consulting, and other value-added services with respect to managed locations,
but exclude gross customer collections at such locations. Management contracts
generally provide APCOA/Standard a management fee regardless of the operating
performance of the underlying facility.

   Cost of parking services--leases contracts. Cost of parking services under
lease arrangements consist of (i) contractual rental fees paid to the facility
owner and (ii) all operating expenses incurred in connection with operating
the leased facility. Contractual fees paid to the facility owner are based on
either a fixed contractual amount or a percentage of gross revenue, or a
combination thereof. Generally under a lease arrangement, APCOA/Standard is
not responsible for major capital expenditures or property taxes.

   Cost of parking services--management contracts. Cost of parking services
under management contracts is generally passed through to the facility owner,
therefore these costs are not included in the results of operations of the
Company. Several APCOA/Standard contracts, however, require APCOA/Standard to
pay for certain costs that are offset by larger management fees. These
contracts tend to be large airport properties with high cost structures.

   General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses
include primarily salaries, wages, travel and office related expenses for the
headquarters and field office and supervisory employees.

</TABLE>

   The Company's strategy is to add locations in core cities where a
concentration of locations improves customer service levels and operating
margins. In general, contracts added as set forth in the table above followed
this strategy.

Results of Operations

   Gross customer collections consist of gross receipts collected at all
leased and managed properties, including unconsolidated affiliates. Gross
customer collections increased $45.9 million, or 12.9%, to $402.4 million in
the third quarter of 2000 compared to $356.5 million in the third quarter of
1999. Gross customer collections increased $142.4 million, or 14.1%, to
$1,154.5 million in the first nine months of 2000 compared to $1,012.1 in the
first nine months of 1999. These increases are attributable to the net
addition of 102 locations during the period.

   In analyzing gross margins of APCOA/Standard, it should be noted that the
cost of parking services incurred in connection with the provision of
management services is generally paid by the clients. Margins for lease
arrangements are significantly impacted by variables other than operating
performance, such as variability in parking rates in different cities and
widely varying space utilization by parking facility type.

   The following should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements and notes thereto in Item 1.

Three Months ended September 30, 2000 Compared to Three Months ended September
30, 1999

   Parking services revenue--lease contracts. Lease contract revenue decreased
$1.8 million, or 3.8%, to $45.1 million in the third quarter of 2000 as
compared to $46.9 million in the third quarter of 1999. This resulted from the
net reduction of 3 leases through contract expirations, conversions to
management contracts, and a change in reclassification of reimbursable costs.

   Parking services revenue--management contracts. Management contract revenue
increased $4.6 million, or 34.3%, to $18.0 million in the third quarter of
2000 as compared to $13.4 million in the third quarter of 1999. This resulted
from the net increase of 67 management contracts through internal growth and
conversions from lease contracts.

   Cost of parking services--lease contracts. Cost of parking services for
lease contracts decreased $1.5 million, or 3.8%, to $39.0 million in the third
quarter of 2000 as compared to $40.5 million in the third quarter of 1999.
This resulted from the reduction of 3 lease contracts through contract
expirations and conversions to management contracts. Gross margin for leases
was 13.5% for the third quarter of 2000 which was equivalent to 13.5% for the
third quarter of 1999.

   Cost of parking services--management contracts. Cost of parking for
management contracts increased $4.0 million, or 78.9%, to $9.0 million in the
third quarter of 2000 as compared to $5.0 million in the third quarter of
1999. Gross margin for management contracts declined to 50.2% in the third
quarter of 2000 compared to 62.6% for the third quarter of 1999. Most
management contracts have no cost of parking services related to them as all
costs are reimbursable to the Company. However, several contracts (primarily
large airport properties and several urban locations) require the Company to
pay for certain costs which are offset by larger management

                                      12
<PAGE>

fees. The increase in cost of parking management contracts was related to the
addition of several contracts of this type.

   General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses
increased $0.1 million, or 1.8%, to $8.7 million for the third quarter of 2000
as compared to $8.6 million in the third quarter of 1999. This increase
resulted primarily from inflation, as investment in the Company's
infrastructure is now complete.

   Restructuring and other special charges. The Company recorded $1.2 million
of other special charges in the third quarter of 2000, as compared to $1.0
million in the third quarter of 1999, relating primarily to pre-merger costs
of $0.7 million, severance costs in connection with reorganization of
administrative and other support functions of $0.4 million and other
integration costs of $0.1 million.

Nine Months ended September 30, 2000 Compared to Nine Months ended September
30, 1999

   Parking services revenue--lease contracts. Lease contract revenue decreased
$8.5 million, or 5.8%, to $138.9 million in the first nine months of 2000 as
compared to $147.4 million in the first nine months of 1999. This resulted
from the net reduction of 36 leases through contract expirations, conversions
to management contracts and the loss of one large airport contract in the
second half of 1999.

   Parking services revenue--management contracts. Management contract revenue
increased $12.8 million, or 34.9%, to $49.4 million in the first nine months
of 2000 as compared to $36.6 million in the first nine months of 1999. This
resulted from the net increase of 138 management contracts through internal
growth, 1999 acquisitions and conversions from lease contracts.

   Cost of parking services--lease contracts. Cost of parking services for
lease contracts decreased $7.6 million, or 5.8%, to $121.8 million in the
first nine months of 2000 as compared to $129.4 million in the first nine
months of 1999. This resulted from the net reduction of 36 leases through
contract expirations and conversions to management contracts. Gross margin for
leases increased to 12.3% for the first nine months of 2000 compared to 12.2%
for the first nine months of 1999. This increase was due to the reduction of
lease contracts with lower operating margins.

   Cost of parking services--management contracts. Cost of parking for
management contracts increased $8.6 million, or 65.0%, to $21.8 million in the
first nine months of 2000 as compared to $13.2 million in the first nine
months of 1999. Gross margin for management contracts declined to 56.0% in the
first nine months of 2000 compared to 64.0% for the first nine months of 1999.
Most management contracts have no cost of parking services related to them as
all costs are reimbursable to the Company. However, several contracts
(primarily large airport properties and several urban locations) require the
Company to pay for certain costs which are offset by larger management fees.
The increase in cost of parking management contracts was related to the
addition of several contracts of this type.

   General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses
increased $3.9 million, or 16.9%, to $27.0 million for the first nine months
of 2000 as compared to $23.1 million in the first nine months of 1999. This
increase resulted from investment in the Company's infrastructure, costs
associated with acquired companies in 1999, and inflation.

   Restructuring and other special charges. AP Holdings and the company
recorded $1.6 million of incremental integration costs in the first nine
months of 2000, as compared to $1.4 million in the nine months of 1999,
relating primarily to pre-merger costs of $0.7 million, severance costs in
connection with reorganization of administrative and other support functions
of $0.6 million, other integration costs of $0.1 million and $0.2 million of
costs associated with terminated transactions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

   As a result of day-to-day activity at the parking locations, APCOA/Standard
collects significant amounts of cash. Under lease contracts, this revenue is
deposited into local APCOA/Standard bank accounts, with a portion

                                      13
<PAGE>

remitted to the clients in the form of rental payments according to the terms
of the leases. Under management contracts, some clients require APCOA/Standard
to deposit the daily receipts into a local APCOA/Standard bank account. Others
require the deposit into a client account, and some have a segregated account
for the receipts and disbursements of the property.

   Locations with revenues deposited into the APCOA/Standard banks enable the
Company to operate with a negative working capital. This negative working
capital arises from the liability that is created for the amount of revenue
that will be remitted to the clients in the form of rents or net profit
distributions subsequent to month end, after the books are closed and
reconciled. Since the Company operates with a revolving Senior Credit
Facility, all funds held for future remittance to the clients are used to
reduce the credit line until the payments are made to the clients.

   Locations with revenue deposited into client accounts or segregated
accounts can, depending upon timing of rent or net profit distributions,
result in significant amounts of cash being temporarily inaccessible to the
Company for use for operating needs. Additionally, the ability to utilize cash
deposited into local APCOA/Standard accounts is dependent upon the movement of
that cash into the Company's corporate account. For these reasons, the Company
from time to time carries significant cash balances, while utilizing its
Senior Credit Facility.

   The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $7.4 million at September 30,
2000 compared to $5.2 million at December 31, 1999.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000 Compared to Nine Months Ended September
30, 1999

   Net cash used in operating activities totaled $3.8 million for the first
nine months of 2000 compared to $20.8 million for the first nine months of
1999. Cash used during the first nine months of 2000 included $13.0 million in
interest payments on the 9 1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes, $3.0 million in
other interest payments, offset by increases in accounts payable and other
liabilities of $6.4 million and a decrease in other assets of $1.2 million.
Cash used during the first nine months of 1999 included $13.0 million in
interest payments on the 9 1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes and $5.5 million for
the purchase of an insurance tail policy to cover claims for all years prior
to 1999 under APCOA's previous insurance program. In addition, $5.0 million
was used for cash restructuring charges and increases in accounts receivable
relating to acquired contracts and existing locations of $4.3 million offset
by increases in other liabilities of $3.7 and decreases in prepaid and other
assets of $3.3 million.

   Net cash used in investing activities totaled $4.0 million for the first
nine months of 2000 compared to $10.4 million for the first nine months of
1999. Cash used in investing activities in the first nine months of 2000
resulted from capital purchases to secure and/or extend leased facilities and
investments in management information system enhancements. Cash used in the
first nine months of 1999 resulted from capital purchases including the
furnishing and improvement of the Company's combined office space in Chicago,
investment in management information system enhancements, and capital
investments to secure and/or extend leased facilities. On April 1,1999, the
Company acquired the assets of Pacific Rim Parking, Inc. ("Pacific Rim") in
Los Angeles for $0.8 million in cash and up to $0.8 million in non-interest
bearing notes payable over five years. On May 1, 1999 the Company acquired
various contracts of System Parking Inc, located in Atlanta for $0.3 million
in cash. Effective July 1, 1999 the Company acquired all of the outstanding
stock of Universal Park Holdings Inc, ("Universal Park") operating under the
names U-park and Select Valet parking in Vancouver B.C. for $1.2 million plus
a multiple of EBITDA on a future earnout as defined in the agreement. These
acquisitions have been accounted for under the purchase method. The historical
operating results of the businesses prior to acquisition were not material
relative to the consolidated results of Holdings.

   Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $10.8 million in the
first nine months of 2000 compared to $18.9 million for the first nine months
of 1999. The 2000 activity included $11.9 million in borrowings from the
revolving Senior Credit Facility, partially offset by repayments on long-term
and joint venture borrowings of

                                      14
<PAGE>

$1.1 million. The 1999 activity included $20.5 million in borrowings from the
revolving Senior Credit Facility, partially offset by repayments on long-term
borrowings of $1.6 million.

Other Liquidity and Capital Resources Information

   The Company's Senior Credit Facility (the "Facility") provides for cash
borrowings up to $35.0 million and Letters of Credit up to $5.0 million, at
variable rates based, at the Company's option, either on LIBOR, the overnight
federal funds rate, or the bank's base rate. From time to time the Company
utilizes the Facility to provide readily-accessible cash for working capital
purposes. The Facility includes covenants that limit the Company from
incurring additional indebtedness, issuing preferred stock or paying
dividends, and contains certain other restrictions. At September 30, 2000, the
Company had $0.3 million of letters of credit outstanding under the Facility
and borrowings against the Facility aggregated $30.0 million. The Facility was
amended on March 30, 2000, with the principal changes to the agreement
providing for revisions to interest rates charged on borrowings and certain
financial covenants. The Facility was amended on May 12, 2000, with the
principal change to the agreement relating to a change in control. The
Facility was amended on November 14, 2000, with the principal changes to the
agreement providing for revisions to interest rates charged on borrowings and
certain financial covenants.

   The Company's primary capital requirements are for working capital, capital
expenditures and debt service. The Company believes that cash flow from
operating activities, cash and cash equivalents and borrowings under the
Facility will be adequate to meet the Company's short-term liquidity
requirements prior to the maturity of its long-term indebtedness, although no
assurance can be provided in this regard.

   If the Company identifies investment opportunities requiring cash in excess
of the Company's cash flows and existing cash, the Company may borrow under
the Facility, or may seek additional sources of capital. From time to time,
the Company utilizes the Facility to provide readily-accessible cash for
working capital purposes.

Year 2000

   In prior years, the Company discussed the nature and progress of its plans
to become Year 2000 ready. In late 1999, the Company completed its remediation
and testing of systems. As a result of those planning and implementation
efforts, the Company experienced no significant disruptions in mission
critical information technology and non-information technology systems and
believes those systems successfully responded to the Year 2000 date change.
The Company is not aware of any material problems resulting from Year 2000
issues, with its products, its internal systems, or the products and services
of third parties. The Company will continue to monitor its mission critical
computer applications and those of its suppliers and vendors throughout the
year 2000 to ensure that any latent Year 2000 matters that may arise are
addressed promptly.

Special Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Cautionary Statements

   The Company continues to be subject to certain factors that could cause the
Company's results to differ materially from expected and historical results
(see the "Risk Factors" set forth in the Company's Registration Statement on
Form S-4 (No. 333-50437) filed on April 17, 1998, as amended on June 9, 1998,
July 15, 1998, August 11, 1998 and August 14, 1998 (the "Registration
Statement").

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

   The Company's primary market risk exposure consists of risk related to
changes in interest rates. Historically, the Company has not used derivative
financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

   The Company entered into a $40.0 million revolving variable rate Senior
Credit Facility (see Note 3 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements). Interest expense on such borrowing is sensitive to
changes in the market rate of interest. If the Company were to borrow the
entire $40.0 million available under the Facility, a 1% increase in the
average market rate would result in an increase in the Company's annual
interest expense of $0.4 million.

   This amount is determined by considering the impact of the hypothetical
interest rates on the Company's borrowing cost, but does not consider the
effects of the reduced level of overall economic activity that could exist in
such an environment. Due to the uncertainty of the specific changes and their
possible effects, the foregoing sensitivity analysis assumes no changes in the
Company's financial structure.

   AP Holdings' parent company is Holberg Industries, Inc. ("Holberg"), a
privately held diversified service company located in Greenwich, Connecticut.
Holberg also owns AmeriServe Food Distribution, Inc. ("AmeriServe"), one of
the nation's largest food service distributors servicing quick-service and
casual dining restaurants in the United States, Canada and Mexico. AmeriServe
filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code on
January 31, 2000.

   AP Holdings and AmeriServe are separate and distinct companies with
independent sources of funding. However, the AmeriServe Chapter 11 filing is a
default under certain debt instruments of Holberg. As a result of such
defaults, the creditors of Holberg could take control of Holberg or its
subsidiary, AP Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings"). A change in control of Holberg or
Holdings would also constitute a change in control of APCOA under the
APCOA/Standard debt instruments and of Holdings under its bond indenture. In
the event of such a change in control of APCOA/Standard of Holdings, the terms
of APCOA/Standard's senior bank credit facility and subordinated bond
indenture and of Holdings' bond indenture permit the APCOA/Standard and
Holdings creditors, if they believe it were in their interest to do so, to
call for immediate payment under such instruments, and APCOA/Standard's or
Holdings' failure to pay on such terms would constitute a default thereunder.
Holberg and its creditors are negotiating to restructure the debt and
eliminate the defaults created as a result of the AmeriServe Chapter 11
filing. Although Holberg currently expects to complete the restructuring of
the debt, and further currently expects that is creditors will not in any
event seek to obtain control of Holberg or Holdings, there can be no assurance
that Holberg will be successful in restructuring its debt and eliminating the
existing defaults, or that Holberg's creditors will not seek to obtain control
of Holberg or Holdings. Should APCOA/Standard's or Holdings' indebtedness be
accelerated as a result of any action by Holberg's creditors, there is no
assurance that APCOA/Standard or Holdings would have sufficient funds to
satisfy such obligations (see Exhibit 4.9, Third Amendment to the Senior
Credit Facility).
