      NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The  condensed interim consolidated financial statements included
herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant
to  the  rules  and  regulations of the Securities  and  Exchange
Commission.    The  interim  financial  statements  reflect   all
adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to
fairly  present such information.  Although the Company  believes
that  the  disclosures  included  on  the  face  of  the  interim
consolidated financial statements and in the footnotes herein are
adequate  to  make  the  information  presented  not  misleading,
certain   information   and   footnote   disclosures,   including
significant  accounting policies, normally included in  financial
statements   prepared  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted
accounting principles, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to
such  rules and regulations.  It is suggested that all  condensed
consolidated  financial statements contained herein  be  read  in
conjunction  with the financial statements and the notes  thereto
included in the Company's Annual Report for the fiscal year ended
September  30, 1998, on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities  and
Exchange Commission, Washington, D.C. 20549. This information may
be  obtained through the web site of  the Securities and Exchange
Commission, EDGAR Filing section, at http://www.sec.gov.

<PAGE 7>

Operating  results for the three month period ended December  31,
1998  are not necessarily indicative of the results that  may  be
expected for the entire fiscal year.

2.  Comprehensive Income

Effective  October  1,  1998, the Company  adopted  Statement  of
Financial   Accounting  Standards  (SFAS)  No.  130,   "Reporting
Comprehensive Income."   This Statement  requires that  companies
disclose  comprehensive  income, which includes  net  income  and
unrealized  gains and losses on marketable securities  classified
as   available-for-sale.   The  unrealized  loss  on   marketable
securities for the three months ended December 31, 1998 is net of
a tax benefit of $9,000.

3.  Earnings Per Share

The  Company  presents earnings per share ("EPS")  in  accordance
with  Statement  of Financial Accounting Standards  ("SFAS")  No.
128,   "Earnings  per  Share".   SFAS  No.  128   requires   dual
presentation  of  basic EPS and diluted EPS on the  face  of  the
statements of operations.  Basic EPS is computed using net income
(loss)  divided by the weighted-average number of  common  shares
outstanding  for the period.  Diluted EPS reflects the  potential
dilution  that  could occur from common shares  issuable  through
stock-based compensations including stock options.

</TABLE>

On  October  22,  1997, the Company closed on a  Credit  Facility
Agreement  with Fleet Capital Corporation (the "Credit  Facility"
Agreement).   The  agreement expires  on  October  22,  2002  and
provides  for a revolving credit facility subject to a  borrowing
base,  up  to  a maximum of $50.0 million.  The proceeds  of  the
initial borrowings under the Credit Facility  were used to  repay
all  amounts outstanding under the Company's previously  existing
credit agreement and Senior Secured Notes.

Borrowings under the Credit Facility  bear interest at an  annual
rate  equal  to, at the Company's option, either (a)  LIBOR  plus
1.75%   to   2.5%,   dependent  upon  the   Company's   financial
performance,  or  (b)  the  bank prime  rate  plus  0%  to  .75%,
dependent upon the Company's financial performance.  The  30  day
LIBOR  and  prime  rates  were 5.6% and 7.75%,  respectively,  at
December  31,  1998.  The unused portion of the  Credit  Facility
bears interest at an annual rate of .25% to .375%

As  of  February 11, 1999, the Company had an outstanding balance
of $34.8 million under the Credit Facility.

The  Credit Facility  is collateralized by substantially  all  of
the  Company's  assets and contains covenants  and  restrictions,
including limitations on indebtedness, liens, leases, mergers and
sales  of  assets,  investments, dividends, stock  purchases  and
other  payments in accordance with capital stock  and  cash  flow
coverage requirements.  Restrictive covenants include maintenance
of  a  minimum  tangible  net worth and a  minimum  fixed  charge
coverage   ratio.   The  Company  was  in  compliance  with   all
covenants, as amended, at the end of the first fiscal quarter  of
1999.

<PAGE 9>

On  December 14, 1995, the Company entered into an agreement with
its Chief Executive Officer and principal shareholder whereby  he
would,  upon  request  of  a Special Committee  of  disinterested
directors   of   the  Company's  Board  of  Directors   ("Special
Committee"), purchase from the Company subordinated debt up to  a
maximum  aggregate principal amount of $4.0 million on terms  and
conditions  to  be negotiated with, but ultimately determined  by
the  Special  Committee.   As  a  result,  the  Company  executed
promissory notes ("Notes") with the then Chief Executive  Officer
and  the President of the Company, on February 1 and January  24,
1996,  respectively, in the aggregate amount of $2,150,000.   The
Notes bear interest, which is payable monthly, at the annual rate
of  12%. The Notes provide for monthly principal repayments  with
possible  mandatory  prepayments  if  the  Company's  net  income
exceeds  certain defined amounts.  Final principal  and  interest
payments  are  due  February 1, 2001.  The remaining  balance  of
notes  payable due to officers and affiliates is comprised  of  a
number of notes to related parties with varying terms.

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

The  discussions  set forth in this form 10-Q may contain  forward-
looking  comments.   Such comments are based upon  the  information
currently   available  to  the  management  of  the   Company   and
management's  perception thereof as of the  date  of  this  report.
Actual  results of the Company's operations could materially differ
from   those  indicated  in  the  forward-looking  comments.    The
difference  could be caused by a number of factors  including,  but
not  limited  to,  those  discussed under  the  heading  "Important
Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" in the  Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the fiscal year ended September 30,
1998,  which  has been filed with the United States Securities  and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission").  That Annual Report may  be
obtained by contacting the Commission's public reference operations
or  through  the  worldwide  web site at http://www.sec.gov,  EDGAR
Filing  section.   Readers are strongly encouraged  to  obtain  and
consider  the  factors  listed in the 1998 Annual  Report  and  any
amendments  or modifications thereof when evaluating  any  forward-
looking comments concerning the Company.

<PAGE 10>

Results of Operations

The  Company's net sales for the fiscal quarter ended December  31,
1998  declined  $1.6 million, to $29.9 million, from $31.5  million
for the same fiscal quarter last year.  This 5.3% decrease resulted
mainly  from  the  reduced sale of auto parts  which  is  generally
attributable  to  mild weather conditions throughout  the  quarter,
softness  in  the  auto parts industry caused by  various  factors,
which  include  improved  vehicle  manufacturing  and  performance,
longer  vehicle  warranties, leased vehicles,  warranted  pre-owned
vehicles  and  increased  competition.   For  the  quarter,  on   a
comparable location basis, net sales declined by 5.9% at  the  full
service distribution centers, 6.4% at the Advantage Auto Stores and
5.1% at the direct distribution centers.

Gross profit for the current quarter decreased $744,000, to $11.4
million,  as compared to $12.1 million for the first  quarter  of
Fiscal  1998.  Gross profit, expressed as a percentage of  sales,
decreased  to  38.1%, from 38.5%, for the previous  fiscal  year.
This   percentage  decrease  is  mainly  due  to  the   increased
competition  in  the  auto parts aftermarket  for  all  types  of
distribution, while the dollar decreases are due to  the  decline
in net sales and the erosion of gross profit margin.

Selling,  general and administrative expenses decreased  $194,000
from  $10.8 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 1998, to $10.6
million  for  the  comparable  quarter  of  Fiscal  1999.   As  a
percentage  of  net  sales, selling, general  and  administrative
expense  increased to 35.4% from 34.2% for the same  period  last
year.   This percentage increase is directly related to  the  net
sales  decreases and would have been higher were it not  for  the
cost reductions in all segments of the business.

Depreciation  and  amortization decreased  $9,000  from  $397,000
during  the corresponding quarter last year, to $388,000 for  the
first  quarter of the current fiscal year.  This decrease is  the
result  of  utilization  of  operating  leases  rather  than  the
purchase  of  fixed  assets (which occurred due  to  the  capital
expenditure limitation imposed by the Credit Facility), which was
partly  offset by an increase in depreciation for the capitalized
leases on real estate from related parties.

As  a result of the factors discussed above, operating income for
the  quarter  declined $541,000, from $955,000  in  the  previous
fiscal  year,  to  $414,000 in the current  fiscal  year's  first
quarter.  As a percentage of sales, the operating income declined
to 1.4% from 3.0% in the same quarter of Fiscal 1998.

Interest expense declined $27,000 from $947,000, to $920,000  for
the  same  quarter of the previous fiscal year.  This decline  is
the  result  of lower borrowings under the Credit Facility  which
were partly offset by the increase in interest resulting from the
capitalization of certain real estate leases.
<PAGE 11>
As  a  result of the factors discussed above, the Company  had  a
loss  before income taxes of $433,000 for the three months  ended
December 31, 1998, compared to income before taxes of $120,000 in
the  same quarter of the previous fiscal year.  Due to a $165,000
tax  benefit,  the  Company's net loss for  current  quarter  was
$268,000 or $.06 per share, compared to net income of $77,000  or
$.02 per share, for the same quarter in Fiscal 1998.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The  Company's principal sources of liquidity for its operational
and   capital   requirements  are  internally  generated   funds,
borrowings  under  its Credit Facility, leasing arrangements  and
extended  payment terms from vendors.  As of February  11,  1999,
the  Company had an outstanding balance of $34.8 million  under
its Credit Facility, with an availability of $3.3 million on the 
revolving line of credit.

During  the  first quarter of Fiscal 1999, continuing  operations
generated  net  cash  of  $714,000, largely  due  to  a  combined
decrease  in  accounts receivable and inventory of  $2.4  million
which  was  partially  offset  by  a  $1.8  million  decrease  in
accounts  payable and other current liabilities.   These  changes
reflect  the company's efforts to reduce accounts receivable  and
inventory levels during the quarter.

Cash  used  in  investing activities consists mainly  of  routine
capital  expenditures for delivery vehicles, computer  equipment,
and store and warehouse fixtures.

Financing  activities during the first quarter  of  Fiscal  1999,
consumed  $854,000  in cash, due to payments on  long-term  debt,
capital  lease obligations and repayment of borrowings under  the
Credit Facility.

In  the  future  the  Company expects  to  make  minor  strategic
acquisitions of Advantage Auto Stores to the extent that its debt
service and other funding requirements permit.

<PAGE 12>

In connection with the Chapter 11 Bankruptcy proceeding commenced
by   the  Company's  wholly-owned  subsidiary,  AUTOWORKS,   Inc.
("AUTOWORKS")  in  July, 1997, the Company  recorded  a  one-time
charge  of  $26.5  million, less tax benefits  of  $7.7  million,
during  the  third  quarter of Fiscal  1997.   Approximately  $20
million  of this charge was recorded to write-down the  Company's
investment  in  AUTOWORKS  to  its  net  realizable  value.   The
adjusted investment was subsequently recovered as a result of the
AUTOWORKS inventory and fixtures liquidation, the net proceeds of
which  were  paid to AUTOWORKS secured creditors.   The  residual
portion  of  the  charge, approximately $6.5 million,  represents
reserves  recorded to cover liabilities the Company has  retained
with respect to AUTOWORKS.  At December 31, 1998, $2.0 million of
the  original $6.5 million of residual reserves included  in  the
Company's  $26.5 million AUTOWORKS charge had yet to be utilized.
The  Company  believes  that  it is adequately  accrued  for  the
remaining  exposure it faces for AUTOWORKS liabilities, including
the   Company's  $2.1  million  settlement  with  the   Unsecured
Creditor's Committee, and that the remaining reserves at December
31, 1998 will be fully utilized during the next four years.

The  Company  anticipates  that its  sources  of  liquidity  will
provide sufficient working capital to operate its business,  make
expected  capital  expenditures and to meet its other  short-term
and  longer-term liquidity needs, through the balance  of  Fiscal
1999.

Year 2000

The  Year  2000 issue is the result of computer software programs
being  written  using two digits rather than four to  define  the
applicable  year.   Any  of  the  Company's  software   programs,
computer  hardware or equipment that have date-sensitive software
or  embedded  chips may recognize a date using "00" as  the  year
1900   rather  than  the  year  2000.   This  could   result   in
miscalculation  or  system  failures.   The  plan  is  to  devote
necessary resources required to resolve any significant Year 2000
issues in a timely manner.

The Company has developed an informal plan to ensure that all  of
its  significant  date-sensitive computer software  and  hardware
systems  and other equipment utilized in its various distribution
and  administrative  activities  (utilizing  embedded  chips   or
software),  will  be  Year 2000 compliant and  operational  on  a
timely  basis.  The formal plan will address all of the Company's
locations  and  includes a review of computer  applications  that
connect  elements  of  the  Company's business  directly  to  its
customers  and  suppliers.   The  plan  is  also  to  include  an
assessment  process  to determine that the Company's  significant
customers and suppliers ("Third-Party Activities") will  also  be
Year 2000 compliant.


<PAGE 13>

The Company's plan to resolve the Year 2000 issue includes four
major phases - assessment, remediation, testing, and
implementation.  The Company has substantially completed the
assessment phase of its plan for all of its significant
information technology and operating equipment that it believes
could be affected by the Year 2000 issue.  Based upon its
assessment, the Company concluded that it would be necessary to
reprogram and/or replace certain of its information technology.
The Company also determined that certain of its operating
equipment would also require modifications to make certain they
remain operational.

The  remediation  of  operating equipment  is  approximately  50%
complete, and the Company is targeting completion of its  related
remediation  efforts by the end of the second  quarter  of  1999.
Certain  desktop personal computers that were Year 2000 deficient
have  been  replaced as part of the Company's scheduled  rotation
replacement program, the cost of which does not impact  the  Year
2000   project.   Testing  and  implementation  of  the  affected
equipment  is targeted to be substantially completed  during  the
second quarter of Fiscal 1999.

To   date,   the  Company  has  not  identified  any  Information
Technology ("IT") or non-IT system that presents a material  risk
of  not being Year 2000 ready or for which a suitable alternative
cannot  be implemented.  However, as the initiative moves further
into  the  testing  phase, it is possible that  the  Company  may
identify  potential risks of Year 2000 disruption.   It  is  also
possible  that  such a disruption could have a  material  adverse
effect  on  the  Company's  financial condition  and  results  of
operations.  The Company is still in the process of modifying  or
replacing certain time-sensitive software programs and other date
sensitive  devices  to  avoid a potential  inability  to  process
transactions or engage in other normal business activities.

With  respect  to Third-Party Activities, the Company  will  make
inquiries of its significant customers and suppliers and, at  the
present  time,  is  not aware of problems that  would  materially
impact  the  Company's operations.  However, the Company  has  no
means of ensuring that these customers and suppliers (and in turn
their customers and suppliers) will be Year 2000 compliant  in  a
timely  manner.   The inability of these parties to  successfully
resolve  their  Year  2000 issues could have a  material  adverse
effect on the Company.

Software modification to the Company's mainframe computer  system
has  already  begun.  The vendor of the system has commenced  the
distribution  of Year 2000 software upgrades.  It is  anticipated
that  all upgrades will be implemented and tested by the  end  of
the  second quarter of 1999.  There will be no additional expense
to  the Company, as modified Year 2000 software is a part of  the
Company's software maintenance agreement.

<PAGE 14>

Substantially all of the Company owned remote store systems  have
been upgraded with modified Year 2000 software without additional
cost  to  the Company, as these costs are also covered under  the
software maintenance agreement for these systems.

The Company is utilizing both internal and external resources  to
reprogram or replace, test, and implement the required Year  2000
modifications.   The  Company plans to  complete  the  Year  2000
project  including  renovation, validation and implementation  by
June 30, 1999.  The Company's total cost to address the Year 2000
issue  is  estimated  at  $150,000 and is  being  funded  through
operating  cash flow.  The elements of such costs are as  follows
(amounts in thousands of dollars):

</TABLE>

The  Company  could  potentially experience disruptions  to  some
aspects  of its various activities and operations as a result  of
non-compliant systems utilized by the Company or unrelated  third
parties.  Contingency plans are, therefore, under development  to
mitigate  the extent of any such potential disruption to business
operations.

The costs of the Year 2000 project and the date which the Company
plans  to  complete  the  Year 2000 modifications  are  based  on
management's   best  estimates,  which  were  derived   utilizing
numerous  assumptions  of future events including  the  continued
availability of certain resources, third party modification plans
and  other  factors.   There  can  be  no  guarantee  that  these
estimates  will  be  achieved  and actual  results  could  differ
materially  from those plans.  Specific factors that might  cause
such  material differences include, but are not limited  to,  the
availability  and  cost of personnel trained in  this  area,  the
ability  to  locate  and correct all relevant computer  code  and
similar uncertainties.

<PAGE 15>

Seasonality

The  Company's business is somewhat seasonal in nature, primarily
as a result of the impact of weather conditions on the demand for
automotive aftermarket products.  Historically, the Companys net
sales  and gross profits have been higher in the second  half  of
each fiscal year than in the first half.
