                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Benefits Administration Committee
  of A.P.S., Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of the A.P.S., Inc. Partnership Plan (the "Plan") as of December 31, 1995 and
1994, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits
for the year ended December 31, 1995.  These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Plan's management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the changes in net assets available for benefits
for the year ended December 31, 1995 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial
statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules identified in the table
of contents on page 1 are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and
are not a required part of the basic financial statements, but are supplementary
information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974.  The Fund Information in the statements of net assets available for
benefits and the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits is
presented for purposes of additional analysis rather than to present the net
assets available for plan benefits and changes in net assets available for plan
benefits of each fund.  The supplemental schedules and Fund Information have
been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic
financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                                  ------------

1.  DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN:

The A.P.S., Inc. Partnership Plan (the "Plan") is a defined contribution plan
covering all full-time employees of A.P.S., Inc. and its subsidiaries ("APS")
who have completed one year of service and attained the age of twenty-one.  The
Plan is subject to the provisions of section 401(a), 401(k) and 501(a) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and of the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974 ("ERISA").  A more complete description of the Plan's provisions can
be found in the Plan document.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

The financial statements of the Plan are prepared on an accrual basis in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  The following is a
summary of significant accounting policies:

CONTRIBUTIONS

Each participant may elect to defer a portion of his or her salary as a pre-tax
basic contribution of at least two percent, and not more than eight percent of
his or her compensation for each pay period.  For the years ended December 31,
1995 and December 31, 1994, in accordance with limitations set by the Internal
Revenue Code, participant contributions to the Plan could not exceed $9,240,
respectively.  APS makes a matching contribution of 50% of each participant's
contribution to the Plan up to six percent of the participant's compensation.
Such matching contributions are allocated to each participant's account as of
the end of each month.

DISTRIBUTIONS

The account of a withdrawing participant is valued at an amount equal to its
value as of the latest monthly valuation date preceding actual distribution,
plus any contributions made by the participant from the date of the last
valuation to the date of the withdrawal.  Participants or beneficiaries receive
their benefits in a single lump-sum distribution.  Participants are eligible for
a distribution following termination of service, attainment of age 59 1/2 or for
financial hardship.  Unpaid distributions for withdrawn participants are not
reported as liabilities but are included in net assets available for benefits.

INVESTMENTS

Investments are comprised of shares in two funds that are managed by Sanford C.
Bernstein & Co., Inc. (the "Berstein fund"), shares in a fund managed by
Fidelity Management & Research Company (the "Fildelity fund"), units of
participation in a fund holding primarily guaranteed investment contracts that
is managed by Eagle Trust Company and shares of APS Holding Corporation's Class
A common stock, $.01 par value per share ("APS Common Stock").  Shares in the
Bernstein and Fidelity funds are valued based on the fair market

                                  ------------

value of the related funds as determined by the quoted closing market price on
the last trading day of the fiscal year.  The units of participation are valued
at the fair value of the fund's underlying net assets as determined by the
quoted closing price for those securities for which market quotations are
available or with respect to other assets, fair value as determined in good
faith by Eagle Trust Company.  The shares of APS Common Stock are valued based
on the fair market value as determined by the quoted closing price per share.
Shares and units are purchased and sold at their market value on the date of the
transaction.  Gain or loss on sales of shares and units are based on average
cost.  Dividend income is reported on the ex dividend date.  Interest income is
recorded as earned on the accrual basis.

The net appreciation or depreciation presented in the statement of changes in
net assets available for benefits consists of realized gains or losses on shares
or units redeemed during the period and the net change in unrealized
appreciation or depreciation on shares held at year-end.

The Plan invests its excess cash into short-term, interest bearing accounts
managed by Texas Commerce Bank, N.A. ("TCB" or the "Trustee").  Such cash
investments, for which the Plan does not require collateral, totalled $862,165
and $566,266 at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Consulting expenses, trustee fees, administrative overhead and all other
administrative costs are borne by the Plan.

MANAGEMENT'S ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3.  PLAN PROVISIONS:

INVESTMENT OPTIONS

Participants may elect to have their own and APS matching contributions invested
in one or more of the following funds:

                                                                  Number of
                                                               Participants at
                                                              December 31, 1995
                                                              -----------------

SEI STABLE ASSET FUND ("SEI") - managed with the objective
of providing preservation of principal, stable rate of
return and liquidity by investing primarily in guaranteed
investment contracts from insurance companies ("GICs").  The
average yield of SEI was 6.60% and 6.02% for the years ended
December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994, respectively.  SEI,
managed in accordance with strict credit quality and
diversification guidelines, received AAA (superior quality)
credit interest ratings from major rating agencies at
December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994, respectively.  As a
result of SEI's concentration in GICs, this fund may be
subject to greater risk than a fund that does not
concentrate in the insurance industry.  In addition to
maintaining investments in guaranteed investment contracts,
SEI held investments in repurchase agreements for which
securities pledged as collateral were held by a third party
custodian bank until maturity of the repurchase agreements.
Provisions of repurchase agreements and procedures adopted
by the fund's trustee, Eagle Trust Company, are designed to
ensure that the market value of the collateral is sufficient
in the event of default by the counterparty. If the
counterparty defaults and values of the collateral decline
or if the counterparty enters insolvency proceedings,
realization of the collateral by the fund may be delayed or
limited.  At December 31, 1995, SEI held a JP Morgan
Repurchase Agreement, 5.78%, dated December 29, 1995,
maturing January 2, 1996.  The Plan's proportionate share of
the contract amount of such repurchase agreement is
$129,422.  Based on information provided by SEI, the Plan
does not believe there is a material difference between the
market value and contract value of the guaranteed investment
contracts.                                                            818

BERNSTEIN INTERMEDIATE DURATION FUND - managed with the
objective of seeking returns consistent with a prudent level
of risk by investing primarily in fixed income securities
such as U.S. Treasury Securities, mortgaged-related
securities, agencies and corporate bonds of high average
credit quality.                                                      614

BERNSTEIN GLOBAL VALUE FUND - managed with the objective of
seeking the highest investment return consistent with
prudent risk through investment in an internationally
diversified portfolio of securities.                                 842

FIDELITY MAGELLAN FUND - managed with the objective of
seeking long-term capital appreciation by investing
primarily in a diversified group of common stocks and
securities convertible into common stocks.                         1,144

APS HOLDING CORPORATION CLASS A COMMON STOCK - invested in
the Class A Common Stock of  APS Holding Corporation, the
parent company of APS.                                               584

VESTING

A participant is 100% vested in the current market value of his or her
contributions to the Plan.  Each participant, or his or her beneficiary in the
event of a participant's death, obtains fully-vested rights to their share of
APS matching contributions upon five years of service with APS or upon their
retirement, death or disability.  Participants not fully vested receive rights
to APS matching contributions as follows:

             Years of Employment   Vested Percentage
             -------------------   -----------------

                 Less than 3               0%
                 3 but less than 4    33 1/3%
                 4 but less than 5    66 2/3%
                 5 or more               100%

FORFEITURES

All APS contributions credited to the participant's account but not vested are
forfeited by the participant upon withdrawal of the full vested value of his or
her account.  Forfeitures of APS contributions credited to a participant's
account are applied to reduce subsequent APS contributions.  There are no
forfeitures for partial withdrawals.  The accompanying statement of changes in
net assets available for benefits at December 31, 1995 includes forfeitures of
$57,024.

PARTICIPANT LOANS

Participants may obtain loans from their vested account balance.  Loans must 
be for a minimum of $1,000 and may not exceed the lesser of (i) $50,000 or 
(ii) 50% of the participant's vested account balance.  Loans to be used for 
the purchase of a participant's primary residence may be for up to 30 years; 
loans for other purposes may be for up to 5 years.  Interest rates on loans 
outstanding at December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994 range from 4.125% to 
10.750%.  Repayment is made by payroll deductions.  The fair market value of 
participant loans approximate their carrying amounts in the Statement of Net 
Assets Available for Benefits With Fund Information for the years ended 
December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994.

5.  UNALLOCATED ASSETS:

At December 31, 1995, neither the Participant Loan Account nor the
Administrative Account included any unallocated assets which were subsequently
transferred to the Plan's investment funds.  At December 31, 1994, $212,891 of
such unallocated assets were included in the Loan Benefit & Payment Account and
subsequently transferred to the investment funds.  Such transfers were accrued
in the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits at December
31, 1994.

6.  INCOME TAXES:

The Plan obtained its latest determination letter on June 3, 1992, in which the
Internal Revenue Service stated that the Plan, as then designed, was in
compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.
Subsequent to December 31, 1995, the Plan requested a determination from the
Internal Revenue Service that the Plan, as amended, met the requirements of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986.  The Plan administrator and the Plan's tax
counsel believe that the form of the Plan, as amended, substantially complies
with the applicable qualification requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.
Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan's
financial statements.

7.  TERMINATION PROVISION:

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, APS has the right under the
Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan
subject to the provisions of ERISA.  In the event of a plan termination,
participants will become 100% vested in their accounts.

8.  RECONCILIATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS TO FORM 5500:

The following is a reconciliation of net assets available for benefits per the
financial statements to the Form 5500:

Amounts allocated to withdrawing participants are recorded on the Form 5500 for
participants who have withdrawn from the Plan prior to December 31 but have not
yet received their account distribution.

9.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:

Effective January 1, 1996, the Plan increased the allowable level for all
participant contributions except highly compensated participants, who are
limited to five percent, to fifteen percent of compensation up to the maximum
contribution allowed by the Internal Revenue Code.

In connection with the acquisition of Parts, Inc. by APS on January 25, 1996,
the Parts Industries Corporation Retirement Savings Plan (the "PI Plan") was
merged with the Plan, effective May 1, 1996.  The amounts received from the PI
Plan as a result of the merger included the following:

                                          May 1, 1996
