                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 - Stock Dividend
- -----------------------

         On January 26, 1996, the Board of Directors declared a five percent
stock dividend, paid August 5, 1996, to stockholders of record as of June 21,
1996. The consolidated financial statements, including all share information
therein, have been restated to reflect this dividend.

         Additionally, in accordance with antidilution provisions of the Class C
Convertible Preferred Stock, the conversion value of the preferred stock was
restated from $.251 per share to $.239 per share.

         Shares reserved for issuance to officers and key employees under
outstanding options and under the 1984, 1987 and 1989 Incentive Stock Option
Plans have also been retroactively adjusted for the five percent stock dividend.

Note 2 - Inventories
- --------------------

         The Company's inventories consist of automotive parts and tires.

         Substantially all merchandise inventories are valued under the last-in,
first-out (LIFO) method. Under the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method, these
inventories would have been $758,000 and $646,000 higher at September 30, 1996
and March 31, 1996, respectively. The FIFO value of inventory approximates the
current replacement cost.

SECOND QUARTER AND SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED TO
SECOND QUARTER AND SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995

         Sales were $37.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1996
compared with $31.2 million in the quarter ended September 30, 1995. The sales
increase of $6.6 million, or 21.1%, was due to an increase in sales of
approximately $4.3 million for stores opened since the beginning of fiscal 1996,
and an increase in comparable store sales of 8.5%. Sales for the six months
ended September 30, 1996 were $75.5 million compared with $60.2 million for the
comparable period of the prior year. The sales increase of $15.4 million, or
25.6%, was due to a comparable store sales increase of 11.6% and an increase in
sales of approximately $9.1 million for stores opened since the beginning of
fiscal 1996. At September 30, 1996, the Company had 293 stores in operation
compared to 257 at September 30, 1995.

                                       -9-
<PAGE>   10

         Management believes that year-to-date sales increases were driven, in
part, by pent up demand from previously deferred repairs, combined with a number
of industry factors. These include an increase in the average age of cars, a
decrease in the number of service bays, an increase in the number of registered
vehicles, and a shift in the consumer mentality from "do-it-yourself" to
"do-it-for-me" caused by the increased complexity of cars.

         Gross profit for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 was $17.5
million, or 46.3% of sales, compared with $14.2 million, or 45.5% of sales, for
the quarter ended September 30, 1995. Gross profit for the six months ended
September 30, 1996 was $34.6 million, or 45.8% of sales, compared to $27.3
million, or 45.4% of sales, for the six months ended September 30, 1995. The
increase in gross profit as a percentage of sales relates primarily to increases
in selling prices. Additionally, certain material costs were reduced as a result
of renegotiated pricing with various vendors.

         Operating, selling, general and administrative expenses (OSG&A) for the
quarter ended September 30, 1996 increased by $1.9 million to $10.4 million over
the quarter ended September 30, 1995, and increased as a percentage of sales
from 27.3% to 27.5%. For the six months ended September 30, 1996, these expenses
increased by $3.6 million to $21.0 million over the comparable period in the
prior year, and were 27.9% of sales compared to 28.9% in the prior year. The
increase in total dollars expended is primarily attributable to increased store
supervision and increased store support expenses related to the Company's
expansion. For the quarter ended September 30, 1996, the increase in expense as
a percentage of sales relates principally to the reinstatement of accruals for
bonus and profit sharing programs which were eliminated in the prior year due to
decreased earnings. For the six months ended September 30, 1996, these expenses
declined as a percentage of sales largely due to management's continued focus on
discretionary spending and controlling costs.

         Net interest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 1996,
increased by approximately $.3 million compared to the comparable period in the
prior year, and increased from 1.8% to 2.3% as a percentage of sales for the
same periods. Net interest expense for the six months ended September 30, 1996,
increased by approximately $.4 million compared to the comparable period in the
prior year, and rose from 2.1% to 2.2% as a percentage of sales for the same
periods. The increase in expense is largely due to an increase in the weighted
average debt outstanding for the quarter and six months ended September 30, 1996
as compared to the same periods in the prior year.

         Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 of approximately
$3.7 million increased 22.1% over net income for the quarter ended September 30,
1995. For the six months ended September 30, 1996, net income of approximately
$7.1 million increased 38.6% over the prior year, due to the factors discussed
above.

         INTERIM PERIOD REPORTING

         The data included in this report are unaudited and are subject to
year-end adjustments; however, in the opinion of management, all known
adjustments (which consist only of normal recurring adjustments) have been made
to present fairly the Company's operating results for the unaudited periods. The
results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be
expected for the fiscal year.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

         CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company's primary capital requirement has been the funding of its
new store expansion program and the upgrading of facilities and systems in
existing stores. For the six months ended September 30, 1996, the Company spent
$12.1 million for equipment and new store construction. Funds were provided
primarily by cash flow from operations. Management believes that the Company has
sufficient resources available (including cash and equivalents, net cash flow
from operations and bank financing) to expand its business as currently planned
for the next several years.

         LIQUIDITY

         The Company has a line of credit from a commercial bank of $7.5
million. No amounts were outstanding under this short-term borrowing facility at
September 30, 1996.

         Through February 7, 1996, the Company had a real estate line of credit
of $25 million to be used for placement of mortgages. The Company had utilized
$13.2 million of the real estate line of credit for permanent mortgages as of
that date.

         On February 7, 1996, the Company finalized an agreement for a $30
million revolving credit facility with two banks. The unsecured facility has a
three year term and bears interest at the prime rate or other rate options based
on company performance.

         In October 1996, the Company completed the modification of 33 of its
existing mortgages, reducing the interest rates by 25 to 60 basis points each.

         The Company has outstanding $5.5 million in principal amount of its
10.65% Senior Notes due 1999 (the "Senior Notes") with Massachusetts Mutual Life
Insurance Company pursuant to a Senior Note Agreement. The third of six equal
annual installments of principal in the amount of $1.8 million was paid on April
1, 1996.

         During September 1995, the Company completed financing for its new
office/warehouse facility via a 10 year mortgage in the amount of $2.9 million,
amortizable over 20 years, and an eight year term loan in the amount of $.7
million.

         Certain of the Company's long-term debt agreements require, among other
things, the maintenance of specified current ratios, interest and rent coverage
ratios and amounts of tangible net worth, and also contain restrictions on
dividend payments and capital expenditures.
