               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


Board of Directors
Motorcar Parts & Accessories, Inc.


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Motorcar Parts &
Accessories, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of March 31, 2000 and 1999, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity and
comprehensive loss and cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2000. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statement is free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statement. 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 presents fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Motorcar Parts &
Accessories, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of March 31, 2000 and 1999, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows for
the year ended March 31, 2000 in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in Note E, the Company changed its method of accounting for
inventory.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                             March 31, 2000 and 1999


NOTE A - COMPANY BACKGROUND

     Motorcar Parts & Accessories, Inc. and its Subsidiaries (the "Company")
     remanufactures and distributes alternators and starters and assembles and
     distributes spark plug wire sets for the automotive aftermarket industry
     (replacement parts sold for use on vehicles after initial purchase). These
     automotive parts are sold to automotive retail chains and warehouse
     distributors throughout the United States.

     The Company obtains used alternators and starters, commonly known as cores,
     primarily from its customers (retailers) as trade-ins and by purchasing
     them from vendors (core brokers). The retailers grant credit to the
     consumer when the used part is returned to them, and the Company in turn
     provides a credit to the retailer upon return to the Company. These cores
     are an essential material needed for the remanufacturing operations. The
     Company has remanufacturing operations for alternators and starters in
     United States, Singapore and Malaysia. Assembly operations for spark plug
     wire kits are performed in Tennessee.

NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     1. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
     Motorcar Parts & Accessories, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All
     significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

     2. CASH EQUIVALENTS

     The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an
     original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

     3. INVENTORY

     Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined
     using the average cost method, which approximates the first-in, first-out
     (FIFO) method. Beginning with the year ended March 31, 2000, market is
     determined by comparison to broker price lists. See Note E regarding the
     method used in previous years. The Company provides an allowance for
     potentially excess and obsolete inventory based upon historical usage and a
     product's life cycle. Inventory costs include material and core components,
     labor, freight and overhead.

NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued

     4. INCOME TAXES

     The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of
     Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income
     Taxes", which requires the use of the liability method of accounting for
     income taxes. The liability method measures deferred income taxes by
     applying enacted statutory rates in effect at the balance sheet date to the
     differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their
     reported amounts in the financial statement. The resulting asset or
     liability is adjusted to reflect changes in the tax laws as they occur. A
     valuation allowance is provided against deferred tax assets when their
     estimated realization is uncertain.

     5. DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

     Plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and
     amortization. The cost of additions, improvements, and interest on
     construction are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are charged to
     expense when incurred. Depreciation and amortization are provided on a
     straight-line basis in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable
     assets to operations over their estimated service lives, which range from
     three to ten years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lives of
     the respective leases or the service lives of the improvements, whichever
     is shorter. Accelerated depreciation methods are used for tax purposes.

     6. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

     For financial reporting purposes, the functional currency of the foreign
     subsidiaries is the local currency. The assets and liabilities of foreign
     operations are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance
     sheet date. The accumulated foreign currency translation adjustment is
     presented as a component of other comprehensive income or loss.

     7. REVENUE RECOGNITION

     The Company recognizes revenue when performance by the Company is
     complete. For products shipped free-on-board ("FOB") shipping point,
     revenue is recognized on the date of shipment. For products shipped FOB
     destination, revenues are recognized two days after date of shipment.
     Revenue is recognized for the "unit value", representing the
     remanufacturing value-added portion, plus the "core value", representing
     the assigned value of the core.

NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued

     7. REVENUE RECOGNITION - Continued

     Trade-ins are recorded in inventory and a credit is issued upon receipt of
     cores from customers. An allowance for trade-ins authorized but not
     received is recorded as a reduction of the receivable balance at the
     balance sheet date. Under the Company's new method of accounting for
     inventory, the difference in the amount of credit provided to the customer
     and the value of the returned core is charged to cost of goods sold. There
     was no difference between the customer credit and core value under the
     previous method (See Note E).


     8. EARNINGS PER SHARE

     Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted
     average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period.
     Diluted loss per share includes the effect, if any, from the potential
     exercise or conversation of securities, such as stock options and warrants,
     which would result in the issuance of incremental shares of common stock.
     Diluted loss per share for year ended March 31, 2000 does not include the
     effect of 684,750 options outstanding at March 31, 2000 as they were
     anti-dilutive.

     9. USE OF 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 and
     disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
     financial statement. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments,
     accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and debt
     approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these
     instruments. The carrying amounts of long-term receivables, capital lease
     obligations and other long-term liabilities approximate their fair value
     based on current rates for instruments with similar characteristics.

NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued

     11. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

     The Company has elected to continue to account for its stock-based employee
     compensation using the intrinsic value method and to disclose the pro forma
     effects on net income and earnings per share had the fair value of such
     compensation been expensed. Under the intrinsic value method, compensation
     cost for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted
     market price of the Company's common stock at the date of the grant over
     the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. Stock-based
     compensation cost has not been significant.

     12. CREDIT RISK

     Substantially all of the Company's sales are to leading national automotive
     parts retailers. Credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable is
     limited due to the Company's credit evaluation process and the nature of
     its customers.

     13. DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

     The Company has a deferred compensation plan for certain management. The
     plan allows participants to defer salary, bonuses and commission. The
     assets of the plan are held in a trust and are subject to the claims of the
     Company's general creditors under federal and state laws in the event of
     insolvency. Consequently, the trust qualifies as a Rabbi trust for income
     tax purposes.

     The plan's assets consist primarily of mutual funds. The investments are
     classified as "available for sale" and are recorded at market value with
     any unrealized gain or loss recorded as a component of shareholders'
     equity. Adjustments to the deferred compensation obligation are recorded in
     operating expenses.

     14. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME - ADOPTION

     The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
     130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", which establishes standards for the
     reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full
     set of general purpose financial statements. Comprehensive income is
     defined as the change in equity during a period, resulting from
     transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. The
     Company has presented comprehensive loss on the Consolidated Statement of
     Shareholders' Equity.

     15. RECLASSIFICATION

     Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2000 balance sheet to
     conform with the 1999 presentation.


NOTE C - REALIZATION OF ASSETS

     The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
     generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of
     the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has incurred a
     significant loss during the year ended March 31, 2000, and has significant
     pending litigation and investigations (see Note O).

     Recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in
     the accompanying consolidated balance sheets is dependent upon continued
     operations of the Company. This in turn is dependent upon the Company's
     ability to meet its financing requirements on a continuing basis, to
     maintain present financing, and to succeed in its future operations.

     Management has taken steps to revise its operations and financial
     requirements, which it believes are sufficient to provide the Company with
     the ability to continue in existence, maintain its financing and return to
     profitability. These plans include the consolidation of operations,
     reduction of costs and restructuring its financing. Management also plans
     to terminate unprofitable product lines. Management believes that these
     changes will allow the Company to reduce its inventory levels, reduce
     manufacturing labor and overhead costs and eliminate low margin products.

     Management is actively pursuing resolution of the pending litigation and
     investigations. Although there can be no assurance as to the financial
     impact from these matters, management believes that it will be able to
     conclude these matters in a reasonable period.

NOTE E - INVENTORY AND CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY

     For the year ended March 31, 2000, management adopted a new methodology for
     accounting for inventory. Management believes that the new methodology
     better reflects the economics of its business while providing a better
     measurement under generally accepted accounting principles. Under the
     Company's new accounting methodology, in recording core inventory at the
     lower of cost or market, the Company determines the market value based on
     comparisons to current core broker prices. Such values are normally less
     than the core value credited to customers' accounts when cores are returned
     to the Company as trade-ins. In prior years when the Company valued its
     inventory at the lower of cost or market, cost was determined using an
     average weighted cost method and the market value of cores was determined
     by the weighted average of the repurchase price of cores acquired from the
     Company's customers and the price of cores purchased from core brokers.
     Additionally, management reviews core inventory to identify excess
     quantities and maturing product lines. An allowance for obsolescence is
     provided to reduce the carrying (market) value of inventory to its
     estimated market value. As a result of these changes, the Company recorded
     a cumulative effect of accounting change of approximately $17 million. The
     cumulative effect of the accounting change is summarized as follows:

NOTE H - LINE OF CREDIT

     Pursuant to an agreement dated August 1, 1998, as amended on April 15, 1999
     and restated on April 20, 2000, the Company has a revolving line of credit
     with a bank for a credit facility in an aggregate principal amount not
     exceeding $38 million up to June 30, 2000. The maximum credit facility is
     reduced to $37.25 million from July 1, 2000 to September 30, 2000, $36.25
     million from October 1, 2000 to December 31, 2000, $35 million from January
     1, 2001 to March 31, 2001 and $34 million from April 1, 2001 to April 30,
     2001. Additional permanent reductions shall be made for 100 percent of the
     net proceeds from (i) the sale of assets outside the ordinary course of
     business, (ii) the issuance of any debt or equity issued by the Company,
     (iii) any insurance payments received (exclusive of Director's and
     officers' insurance in connection with that certain litigation pending
     against the Company identified as JOSEPH L. SHALANT, IRA ON BEHALF OF
     HIMSELF AND OTHERS SIMILARLY SITUATED, PLAINTIFF VS. MOTORCAR PARTS AND
     ACCESSORIES, INC. ET AL, DEFENDANTS (SEE NOTE N)), and (iv) all local,
     state or federal tax refunds received. The agreement is collateralized by a
     lien on substantially all of the Company's assets.

     The agreement expires on April 30, 2001 and provides for interest on
     borrowings at the bank's prime rate (9% at March 31, 2000) plus 1%. An
     annual commitment fee of .5% is due monthly on the unused portion of the
     line of credit. The agreement allows the Company to obtain from the bank
     letters of credit and banker's acceptances in an aggregate amount not
     exceeding $1,000,000.

     In connection with the restated credit agreement, the Company granted to
     the bank warrants to purchase 400,000 shares of the Company's common stock
     at $2.045 per share, subject to adjustment as defined in the warrant
     agreement.

     The credit agreement requires the Company to meet certain financial
     conditions, including maintenance of certain minimum tangible net worth,
     cash flow and profitability measures. In addition, the Company is required
     to comply with various non-financial covenants. The Company was not in
     compliance with various financial and non-financial covenants at March 31,
     2000. Subsequent to year end, the Company and the bank executed an
     amendment that, among other things, waived the events of default, amended

NOTE J - EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS AND BONUS PLAN

     The Company has employment agreements with key employees, expiring at
     various dates through January 1, 2004. The employment agreements provide
     for annual base salaries aggregating $850,000 and bonuses based upon
     earnings. In addition, some of these employees were granted options
     pursuant to the Company's stock option plans for the purchase of 130,000
     shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $2.50 to $18.50 per
     share.

     One such employment agreement provides for the employee to receive an
     amount equal to three times the annual base salary of $300,000 if the
     employee voluntarily terminates the agreement for good reason. Good reason
     is defined by the occurrence of any one of a number of circumstances after
     a change in control of the Company.

     The Company has established a bonus plan for the benefit of executives and
     certain key employees. The bonus is calculated as a percentage of the base
     salary ranging from 14% to 50%. The bonus percentage varies according to
     the percentage increase in earnings before income taxes and other
     predetermined parameters. No accrual for bonuses was recorded at March 31,
     2000 or 1999.

NOTE N - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

     SERIES A JUNIOR PARTICIPATING PREFERRED STOCK

     In a Rights Agreement dated February 24, 1998, between the Company and
     Continental Stock Transfer & Trust, the Company authorized 20,000 shares of
     Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock. The Series A Junior
     Participating Preferred Stock has preferential voting, dividend and
     liquidation rights over the Common Stock.

     On February 24, 1998, the Company declared a dividend distribution to the
     holders of record at the close of business on March 12, 1998 of one Right
     on each share of Common Stock.

     Each Right, when exercisable, entitles the registered holder thereof to
     purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of Series A Junior
     Participating Preferred Stock at a price of $65 per one one-thousandth of a
     share (subject to adjustment).

     The Rights will not be exercisable or transferable apart from the Common
     Stock until an Acquiring Person, as defined in the Rights Agreement,
     without the prior consent of the Company's Board of Directors, acquires 20%
     or more of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock or announces a tender
     offer that would result in 20% ownership. The Company is entitled to redeem
     the Rights, at $.001 per Right, any time until ten days after a 20%
     position has been acquired. Under certain circumstances, including the
     acquisition of 20% of the Common Stock, each Right now owned by a potential
     Acquiring Person will entitle its holder to receive, upon exercise, shares
     of Common Stock having a value equal to twice the exercise price of the
     Right.

NOTE N - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY - Continued

     Holders of a Right will be entitled to buy stock of an Acquiring Person at
     a similar discount if, after the acquisition of 20% or more of the
     Company's outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Company is involved in a
     merger or other business combination transaction with another person in
     which it is not the surviving company, its common shares are changed or
     converted, or the Company sells 50% or more of its assets or earning power
     to another person. The Rights expire on March 12, 2008 unless earlier
     redeemed by the Company.

NOTE N - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY - Continued

     The weighted-average fair value at date of grant for options granted during
     the year ended March 31, 2000 was $1.16 per option. The fair value of
     options at date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option
     pricing model utilizing the following assumptions:

           Expected option life in years                             5 years
           Risk-free interest rate                                   6.0 percent
           Expected stock price volatility                           35 percent
           Expected dividend yield                                   -

     Had the Company elected to recognize compensation cost based on the fair
     value of the options at the date of grant (See Note B11), net loss for the
     year ended March 31, 2000 would have increased by approximately $460,000 to
     $28,704,000, or $4.44 per share. Proforma disclosures for the year ended
     March 31, 2000 is not likely to be representative of the effect on future
     years.

NOTE O - LITIGATION

     The Company is a defendant in a class action lawsuit pending in the United
     States District Court, Central District of California, Western Division.
     The complaint alleges that the Company misstated its earnings in violation
     of securities laws over a three-year period and seeks damages on behalf of
     all persons who purchased the Company's common stock from August 1, 1996 to
     July 30, 1999. The Company's answer to the complaint has not yet been
     served. A settlement conference is scheduled for November 30, 2000. The
     outcome of this lawsuit cannot presently be determined.

     The Company's insurance carrier has filed a claim against the Company and
     certain officers concerning the coverage under its Directors and Officers
     (D&O) liability policy. The claim purports to invalidate coverage for
     claims made against the Company's officers in the securities fraud matter
     described above. On or about July 17, 2000, the parties entered into a
     stipulation and order to stay the action for four months to allow the
     Company time to resolve the securities action. The Company's deadline for
     responding to the claim is November 17, 2000. Based on the opinion of legal
     counsel, management believes that the Company and the officers are covered
     under the Company's D&O policy. The outcome of this matter cannot
     presently be determined.

NOTE O - LITIGATION - Continued

     The Company is subject to an investigation by the Securities and Exchange
     Commission (SEC) relating to the same issues involved in the
     above-mentioned lawsuit. Management is cooperating with these
     investigations. The outcome of these investigations cannot presently be
     determined.

     The Company is subject to various other lawsuits and claims in the normal
     course of business. Management does not believe that the outcome of these
     matters will have a material adverse effect on its financial position or
     future results of operations.
