NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The unaudited consolidated financial information herein has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and is in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regulations for interim financial reporting. In the opinion of management, the financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are considered necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods. This financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2009.
1. | Background and Basis of Presentation |
Keystone Automotive Operations, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, “the Company”) are wholesale distributors and retailers of aftermarket automotive accessories and equipment, operating in all regions of the United States and parts of Canada. The Company sells and distributes specialty automotive products, such as light truck/SUV accessories, car accessories and trim items, specialty wheels, tires and suspension parts, and high performance products to a fragmented base of approximately 17,000 customers. The Company’s wholesale operations include an electronic service strategy providing customers the ability to view inventory and place orders via its proprietary electronic catalog. The Company also operates 23 retail stores in Pennsylvania. The Company’s corporate headquarters is in Exeter, Pennsylvania.
2. | Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
On December 15, 2006, the SEC adopted new measures to grant relief to non-accelerated filers, including the Company, by extending the date of required compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“the Act”). Under these new measures, the Company is required to comply with the Act in two phases. The first phase was completed for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 29, 2007 and required the Company to furnish a management report on internal control over financial reporting. The second phase requires the Company to provide an auditor’s attestation report on internal control over financial reporting beginning with the Company’s fiscal year ending January 3, 2009. On June 20, 2008, the SEC approved an additional one year extension for non-accelerated filers with respect to the requirement that companies include in their annual report the auditor’s attestation report on internal control over financial reporting. Under the amendment, the Company would be required to provide the auditor’s attestation report on internal control over financial reporting beginning with our fiscal year ending January 2, 2010.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R provides revised guidance on how acquirers recognize and measure the consideration transferred, identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, noncontrolling interests, and goodwill acquired in a business combination. SFAS 141R also expands required disclosures surrounding the nature and financial effects of business combinations. SFAS 141R is effective, on a prospective basis, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Adoption of SFAS 141R did not have a material impact upon adoption, however, the Company will be required to expense transaction costs related to any acquisitions after January 3, 2009; non controlling (minority) interests are valued at fair value at the acquisition date; restructuring costs

Table of Contents
associated with a business combination are generally expensed subsequent to the acquisition date; and changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally will affect income tax expense.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”) which introduced a new framework for determining fair value measurements. SFAS 157 has been effective since December 30, 2007 for financial assets and liabilities and for nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Effective January 4, 2009, the Company adopted SFAS 157 for non financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. On January 4, 2009, the date of adoption for the Company, no such measurements were required and, therefore, there was no impact associated with the adoption.
On April 25, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets”. The FSP amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FASB Statement No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”). The FSP is intended to improve the consistency between the useful life of an intangible asset determined under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS 141R and other US GAAP. The FSP is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and for the interim periods within those fiscal years. Adoption of FSP 142-3 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009 the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”. The FSP amends FAS 107 “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, (“SFAS 107”) to require disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments not measured on the balance sheet at fair value in interim financial statements as well as annual financial statements. The FSP is effective for periods ending after June 15, 2009 and applies to all financial instruments within the scope of SFAS 107 and requires all entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments. The FSP requires comparative disclosures only for periods ending after initial adoption. Adoption of the FSP resulted in the inclusion of the additional required disclosure in the Company’s interim financial statements for periods ending after June 15, 2009.
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events (“SFAS 165”). SFAS 165 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS 165 is effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. Adoption of SFAS 165 resulted in the inclusion of the additional required disclosure in the Company’s financial statements for periods ending after June 15, 2009.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”, (“SFAS 168”) completing its accounting standards codification (the “Codification”) as the single source of authoritative U.S. accounting and reporting standards applicable for all non-governmental entities, with the exception of the SEC and its staff, superseding existing FASB, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”), Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”), and related accounting literature. SFAS 168, which changes the referencing of financial standards, is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company will adopt the use of the Codification for the quarter ending October 3, 2009, therefore in our future financial statements, all references made to U.S. GAAP will use the new Codification referencing system prescribed by the FASB. As SFAS 168 is not intended to change or alter existing U.S. GAAP, it will not have any impact on our consolidated financial statements.

3. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Principles of Consolidation and Fiscal Year
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Keystone Automotive Operations, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Company operates on a 52/53-week year basis with the year ending on the Saturday nearest December 31. There are 13 and 26 weeks, respectively included in the three and six month periods ended July 4, 2009 and June 28, 2008.
Share-Based Compensation
Options to purchase 485,668 shares of Class L common stock and 4,371,008 of Class A common stock were granted on March 27, 2008. Through July 4, 2009, there have been no additional options granted. During the three and six month periods ended July 4, 2009 the Company recorded an expense, for all share-based compensation, of $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively. For the same periods ended June 28, 2008, the Company recorded an expense of $0.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively.
For purposes of determining the fair value of the stock option awards granted by the Company on March 27, 2008, the Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model, with the following fair value assumptions:
Six Months Ended June 28, 2008 | |||

On March 27, 2008, the Company entered into a Restricted Stock Agreement (the “Restricted Stock Agreement”) with the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President, Edward H. Orzetti, pursuant to which the Company granted Mr. Orzetti 60,000 shares of the Company’s Class L Common Stock and 540,000 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, (collectively, the “Restricted Stock”), subject to certain vesting provisions and restrictions on transfer. Under the Restricted Stock Agreement, fifty percent (50%) of the Restricted Stock vested on October 31, 2008 and the remaining fifty percent (50%) vests on June 30, 2010, if Mr. Orzetti is continuously employed by the Company or one of its subsidiaries through such dates, subject to earlier vesting upon certain events, including a Sale of the Company (as defined in the Restricted Stock Agreement). If Mr. Orzetti’s employment with the Company is terminated, he will forfeit any unvested shares of Restricted Stock. Mr. Orzetti has full voting rights with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock, but until the shares vest he may not transfer any of the shares and the Company will retain physical custody of the certificates for the shares. In addition, prior to vesting, any dividends to which the shares of restricted stock are entitled will be accumulated and held by the Company subject to the same restrictions as the underlying shares. The fair value of the Restricted Stock, computed in accordance with SFAS 123(R), was approximately $1.0 million.
Taxes
For the three and six months ended July 4, 2009, the income tax benefit includes benefits from the recognition of current net operating losses to be carried forward to future periods for both federal and state income taxes determined based on the current statutory rates, which are partially offset by increases in the valuation allowance for operating loss carry forwards for state tax purposes. Additionally, the income tax benefit for both periods ended July 4, 2009 included a benefit resulting from the reduction in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits described below.
The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”) at the beginning of its 2007 fiscal year. At July 4, 2009, the amount of the liability for unrecognized tax benefits was approximately $1.2 million, a decrease of $0.3 million when compared to January 3, 2009. This decrease is the result of a lapse of certain statute of limitations for prior periods. Of the
7
Table of Contents
$1.2 million in liability related to the unrecognized tax benefits, $0.9 million would impact the effective tax rate if recognized. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense in the “Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss)”.
A number of years may elapse before an uncertain tax position, for which we have unrecognized tax benefits, is audited and finally resolved. While it is often difficult to predict the final outcome or the timing of resolution of any particular uncertain tax position, we believe that our unrecognized tax benefits reflect the most likely outcome. We adjust these unrecognized tax benefits, as well as the related interest, in light of changing facts and circumstances. Settlement of any particular position would usually require the use of cash. Favorable resolution would be recognized as a reduction to our income tax expense in the period of resolution.
Based upon the expiration of the state statutes of limitations, we do not expect that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change significantly within the next twelve months. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. for federal and various state jurisdictions and in Canada for federal and provincial jurisdictions. All U.S. federal income tax returns are closed through the short period ended October 30, 2003. The Internal Revenue Service is currently conducting an examination of the open years through fiscal year end 2007. State income tax returns are generally subject to examination for a period of three to five years after filing of the respective return. The Company and its subsidiaries have a limited number of state income tax returns in the process of examination. Canadian federal and provincial income tax returns are closed through the year ended December 31, 1998. The Company has not been notified of the commencement of any examination of the open years by the Canada Revenue Agency.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments recorded on the balance sheet include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt. Because of their short maturity, the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair value. The carrying value of the company’s debt related to the Credit Agreement and the Notes (as defined below in footnote No. 8 – Debt) was $392.5 million and $393.5 million at July 4, 2009 and January 3, 2009, respectively. The fair value at each of the periods ended July 4, 2009 and January 3, 2009 was $153.9 million.
Subsequent Event Review
The Company has evaluated the impact of subsequent events through August 14, 2009, the date on which the financial statements were available to be issued, and has determined that all subsequent events have been appropriately reflected in the accompanying financial statements.
4. | Segment Information |
Based on the nature of the Company’s reportable operations, facilities and management structure, the Company considers its business to constitute two segments for financial reporting purposes, Distribution and Retail, as described below:
Distribution
The Distribution segment aggregates eight regions or operating segments that are economically similar, share a common class of customers and distribute the same products. One of the most important characteristics of this business segment is our hub-and-spoke distribution network. This segment distributes specialty
8
Table of Contents
automotive equipment for vehicles to specialty retailers/installers, and our distribution network is designed to meet the rapid delivery needs of our customers. This network is comprised of: (i) four inventory stocking warehouse distribution centers, which are located in Exeter, Pennsylvania; Kansas City, Kansas; Austell, Georgia; and Corona, California; (ii) 22 non-inventory stocking cross-docks located throughout the East Coast, Southeast, Midwest, West Coast and parts of Canada; and (iii) our fleet of 321 trucks, that provide multi-day per week delivery and returns along over 276 routes which cover 48 states and parts of Canada. Our four warehouse distribution centers hold the vast majority of the Distribution segment’s inventory and distribute merchandise to cross-docks in their respective regions for next-day or second-day delivery to customers. An alternative form of delivery for our customers is drop-ship, which is shipping via third party delivery primarily to residential locations. The Distribution segment supplies the Retail segment; these intercompany sales are included in the amounts reported as net sales for the Distribution segment in the table below, and are eliminated to arrive at net sales to third parties.

The Retail segment of our business operates 23 retail stores in Pennsylvania under the A&A Auto Parts name. A&A stores sell replacement parts and specialty accessories to end-consumers and small jobbers. A&A stores are visible from high traffic areas and provide customers ease of access and drive-up parking. While a small part of our business, we believe that our retail operations allow us to stay close to end-consumer and product merchandising trends. A&A stores purchase their inventory from the Distribution segment.

Amortization expense related to intangible assets for each of the three month periods ended July 4, 2009 and June 28, 2008 was $3.0 million.
The valuation of intangible assets with a definite life requires significant judgment based on short-term and long-term projections of operations. Assumptions supporting the estimated future cash flows include profit margins, long-term forecasts of the amounts and timing of overall market growth and the Company’s percentage of that market, discount rates and terminal growth rates. Adverse changes in expected operating results and/or unfavorable changes in other economic factors used to estimate fair values could result in a non-cash impairment charge in the future under SFAS No. 144. Under SFAS No. 144, the Company’s long-lived assets and liabilities are grouped at the lowest level for which there is identifiable cash flow. The Company determined that, based on the organizational structure and the information that is provided to and reviewed by management, its long-lived asset groups consist of trade names for the Distribution and Retail segments, and vendor agreements and customer relationships for the Distribution segment. Long-lived assets, including intangible assets with a definite life, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. In the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of long-lived assets may be impaired, the Company performs a recoverability evaluation. If the evaluation indicates that the carrying value of the long-lived asset is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows, then an impairment charge is determined by comparing the

carrying value of the asset to its fair value, based on discounted cash flows. In some circumstances, the carrying value may be appropriate; however, the event that triggered the review of the asset may indicate a revision to the service life of the asset. In such cases, the Company will accelerate depreciation to match the revised useful life of the asset.
6. | Related Party Transactions |
On October 30, 2003, all of the outstanding stock of Keystone was acquired by Keystone Automotive Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”), a newly formed company owned by (i) Bain Capital Partners, LLC (“Bain Capital”), (ii) its affiliates, (iii) co-investors and (iv) our management (the “Transaction”). In connection with the Transaction, the Company entered into advisory agreements with Bain Capital and Advent International Corporation (“Advent”). The Bain Capital advisory agreement is for general executive and management services, merger, acquisition and divestiture assistance, analysis of financing alternatives and finance, marketing, human resource and other consulting services. For 2008 through 2013, the annual advisory fee is $3.0 million, plus reasonable out of pocket fees and expenses. Additionally, Bain Capital will receive upon the completion of any financing transaction, change in control transaction, material acquisition or divestiture by Holdings or its subsidiaries, a transaction fee equal to 1.0% of the total value of the transaction, plus reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses.
The Bain Capital advisory services agreement has an initial term ending on December 31, 2013, subject to automatic one-year extensions unless the Company or Bain Capital provides written notice of termination; provided, however, that if the advisory agreement is terminated due to a change in control or an initial public offering of the Company or Holdings prior to the end of its term, then Bain Capital will be entitled to receive the present value of the advisory services fee that would otherwise have been payable through the end of the term. Bain Capital receives customary indemnities under the advisory agreement. Selling, general and administrative expense for both the three and six month periods ended July 4, 2009 and June 28, 2008 include a management fee expense related to this agreement of $0.8 million and $1.5 million, respectively. Included in accounts payable at July 4, 2009 and June 28, 2008 was $1.5 million payable to Bain Capital.
The Advent advisory agreement covers general executive and management services, assistance with acquisition and divestitures, assistance with financial alternatives and other services. The Advent annual advisory services fee is $0.1 million; subject to pro-rata reduction should the Bain Capital annual advisory services fee be reduced. Selling, general and administrative expense for the three and six month periods ended July 4, 2009 and June 28, 2008 include a management fee expense of less than $0.1 million to Advent, respectively. Included in accounts payable at July 4, 2009 and June 28, 2008 was less than $0.1 million payable to Advent.
7. | Commitments and Contingencies |
The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims which have arisen in the ordinary course of its business. Management does not expect the outcome of such matters to have a material effect, if any, on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
8. | Debt |
On January 12, 2007, the Company entered into (i) a Term Credit Agreement (the “Term Loan”) by and between the Company, as borrower, Holdings, the Lenders party thereto, Bank of America, N.A. as Administrative Agent, Syndication Agent and Documentation Agent, and the other parties named therein, and
12
Table of Contents
(ii) a Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Revolver” and, together with the Term Loan, the “Credit Agreement”) by and between the Company, as borrower, Holdings, the Lenders party thereto, Bank of America, N.A. as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender, and the other parties named therein. The Credit Agreement effected a refinancing and replacement of the Company’s prior senior secured credit agreement dated October 30, 2003, in order to provide the Company with greater flexibility and liquidity to meet its growth and operational goals. Bain Capital was entitled to receive a 1% transaction fee in exchange for its assistance with the refinancing of the debt but subsequently waived its rights to receive such fee.
The Credit Agreement consists of our five-year asset-based Revolver with a commitment amount of $125.0 million and our five-year Term Loan amortizing $200.0 million (with an option to increase by an additional $25.0 million). Borrowings under the Credit Agreement generally bear interest at a margin over, at our option, the base rate or the reserve-adjusted London Inter-Bank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”). As of July 4, 2009, the applicable margin was 150 basis points over LIBOR or 50 basis points over the base rate for revolving credit loans and 350 basis points over LIBOR or 250 basis points over the base rate for the Term Loan. The Revolver will mature on January 12, 2012. The Company’s obligations under the Revolver are secured by a first priority security interest in all of the Company’s receivables and inventory and a second priority security interest in the stock of its subsidiaries and all other assets of the Company and guarantors under the Revolver. As of July 4, 2009, our Revolver had an outstanding balance of $28.3 million. The Term Loan is secured by a first priority security interest in all of the Company’s machinery and equipment, real estate, intangibles and stock of its subsidiaries and the guarantors under the Term Loan, and a second priority security interest in its receivables and inventory.
Our 9.75% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 (the “Notes”) are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by all of our existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries, jointly and severally, on a senior subordinated basis. Interest on the Notes accrues at the rate of 9.75% per annum and is payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on May 1 and November 1, commencing on May 1, 2004. The Notes and the guarantees are unsecured senior subordinated obligations and will be subordinated to all of our subsidiaries’ and guarantors’ existing and future senior debt.
As of July 4, 2009, under our Credit Agreement and our Notes due 2013, we had total indebtedness of $392.5 million and $36.7 million of borrowing availability as defined by our Revolver, subject to customary conditions.
9. | Exit or Disposal Activities |
On January 9, 2009, the Company implemented cost-reduction initiatives in both the Distribution and Retail segments to enhance the Company’s strategic progress and to respond to the recent, economic downturn. As a result, the Company incurred costs comprised of severance and other employee-related costs and charges for facility-related exit activities, including termination of leases and other contractual commitments. The employee-related costs totaled $0.9 million, which was comprised of severance and health insurance payments. The lease termination costs of $0.3 million were determined based on the fair value of the continuing liability incurred for the cessation of operations at the closed facilities. The Company established the reserves for the Exit or Disposal Activities on January 9, 2009 in accordance with SFAS 146. As SFAS 146 is subject to the requirements of SFAS 157, the reserve was also determined in accordance with SFAS 157.

Overview
General Business Overview
We are a wholesale distributor and retailer of automotive aftermarket accessories and equipment, operating throughout the U.S. and in parts of Canada. The Company sells and distributes specialty automotive products, such as light truck/SUV accessories, car accessories and trim items, specialty wheels, tires and suspension parts, and high performance products to a fragmented base of approximately 17,000 customers. Our wholesale operations include an electronic service strategy providing customers the ability to view inventory and place orders via our proprietary electronic catalog. The Company also operates 23 retail stores in Pennsylvania. Our corporate headquarters is in Exeter, Pennsylvania.
Distribution and Retail constitute our two business segments which are more fully described below.
Distribution
The Distribution segment aggregates eight regions or operating segments that are economically similar, share a common class of customers and distribute the same products. One of the defining characteristics of this business segment is our hub-and-spoke delivery network. This segment distributes specialty automotive equipment for vehicles to specialty retailers/installers, and our distribution network is designed to meet the rapid delivery needs of our customers. This network is comprised of: (i) four inventory stocking warehouse distribution centers, which are located in Exeter, Pennsylvania; Kansas City, Kansas; Austell, Georgia; and Corona, California; (ii) 22 non-inventory stocking cross-docks located throughout the East Coast, Southeast, Midwest, West Coast and parts of Canada; and (iii) our fleet of 321 trucks, that provide multi-day per week delivery and returns along over 276 routes which cover 48 states and parts of Canada. Our four warehouse distribution centers hold the vast majority of the Distribution segment’s inventory and distribute merchandise to cross-docks in their respective regions for next-day or second-day delivery to customers. An alternative form of delivery for our customers is drop-ship, which is shipping via third party delivery primarily to residential locations. The Distribution segment supplies the Retail segment; these intercompany sales are included in the amounts reported as net sales for the Distribution segment, and are eliminated to arrive at net sales to third parties.
Retail
The Retail segment of our business operates 23 retail stores in Pennsylvania under the “A&A Auto Parts” name. A&A stores sell replacement parts and specialty accessories to end-consumers and small jobbers. A&A stores are visible from high traffic areas and provide customers ease of access and drive-up parking. While a small part of our business, we believe that our retail operations allow us to stay close to end-consumer and product merchandising trends. A&A stores purchase their inventory from the Distribution segment.

Operations Overview
For the three and six month period ended July 4, 2009, our net sales decreased 21.8% and 19.5%, versus the three and six month periods ended June 28, 2008. Our Distribution segment generated $123.4 million, or 95.2%, and $237.5 million, or 95.3%, of our net sales in the three and six month period ended July 4, 2009, compared to $159.2 million, or 96.0%, and $297.6 million, or 96.1%, of our net sales in the three and six month period ended June 28, 2008. Our Retail segment generated $6.2 million, or 4.8%, and $11.8 million, or 4.7%, of our net sales in the three and six month periods ended July 4, 2009, compared to $6.6 million or 4.0%, and $12.1 million, or 3.9%, of our net sales in the three and six month periods ended June 28, 2008.
Our net loss increased by $4.7 million and $7.3 million, respectively, for the three and six month period ended July 4, 2009, to a net loss of $3.4 million and $8.8 million, respectively, compared to net income of $1.3 million and a net loss of $1.5 million, respectively, for the three and six month period ended June 28, 2008. The three and six month periods ended July 4, 2009 were negatively impacted by lower sales and gross margin which were partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expense, lower interest expense, and higher income tax benefit.
Items Affecting Comparability
Comparability between 2009 and 2008 periods
The Company operates on a 52/53-week year basis with the year ending on the Saturday nearest December 31. There are 13 and 26 weeks, respectively, included in the three and six month periods ended July 4, 2009 and June 28, 2008.

Net Sales. Net sales represent the sales of product and promotional items, fees, and all shipping and handling costs paid by customers, less any customer-related incentives and a reserve for future returns.
Net sales for the quarter ended July 4, 2009 were $129.6 million, a decrease of $36.2 million, or 21.8%, compared to $165.8 million for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in sales is a continuation of the decline experienced beginning during the second half of 2008 and was driven by a combination of factors, including a decrease in consumer spending on discretionary items, general economic recession, a year over year decline in truck and SUV sales, which directly impacts our business, and the decline in available credit in the marketplace, influenced by unprecedented turmoil and volatility in the financial markets, which has impacted
17
Table of Contents
vehicle manufacturers, suppliers and customers. Should any of these factors continue or worsen, it could have a further negative impact on our sales. Our Dropship fulfillment operations (shipping via third party delivery primarily to residential locations) achieved double digit increases in net sales versus the same period in the prior year. Our National Accounts (customers that participate in retail markets on a national or multi-region basis) saw a single digit decrease in net sales and our Northeast, Midwest, West Coast, Canada, Southeast and International geographies saw double digit declines versus the same period in the prior year.
Gross Profit. Gross profit represents net sales less the cost of sales. In addition to product costs, cost of sales includes third-party delivery costs and vendor promotional support. Gross profit decreased by $12.8 million, or 24.5%, from $52.3 million for the three month period ended June 28, 2008 to $39.5 million for the three month period ended July 4, 2009. The decrease in gross profit resulted from lower sales and selling margins. Gross margin was 30.5% for the three month period ended July 4, 2009 versus 31.5% for the three month period ended June 28, 2008.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Included in selling, general and administrative expense are all non-product related operating expenses warehouse, marketing, delivery, selling and general and administrative expenses including depreciation and amortization, occupancy, and information technology, less certain benefits received from promotional activities. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $38.0 million, or 29.3%, and $42.6 million, or 25.7%, of sales for the three month period ended July 4, 2009 and June 28, 2008, respectively. The lower quarter-over-quarter expenses resulted primarily from a $3.0 million decrease in employee-related expense resulting primarily from the cost reduction programs in the delivery, warehouse and selling areas, and by a $1.9 million decrease in delivery fuel costs. These decreases were partially offset by increases in general and administrative expense due to increased bad debt expense and professional fees for the three month period ended July 4, 2009, as compared to the three month period ended June 28, 2008.
Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense decreased by $1.0 million, or 11.9%, to $7.2 million for the three months ended July 4, 2009 compared to $8.2 million for the same period in the prior year. The decrease is primarily related to a decrease in variable interest rates.
Income Tax Benefit / (Expense). The income tax benefit increased by $2.7 million, to a benefit of $2.4 million for the three months ended July 4, 2009 from an expense of $0.3 million for the three months ended June 28, 2008. Our effective tax benefit rate was 41.4% for the three months ended July 4, 2009 compared to an effective tax expense rate of 17.9% for the three months ended June 28, 2008. This increase in effective tax benefit rate is due to the recognition of current net operating losses to be carried forward to future periods for both federal and state income taxes determined on the current statutory rates, which are partially offset by increases in the valuation allowance for operating loss carry forwards for state tax purposes. Additionally, the current period effective tax benefit rate increased as a result of the reduction in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits due to the lapse of certain statute of limitations for prior periods.
Net Income / (Loss). Net loss increased by $4.7 million to a loss of $3.4 million for the three months ended July 4, 2009, compared to a net income of $1.3 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase in the net loss is primarily attributed to a $12.8 million decrease in gross profit, partially offset by a $4.7 million decrease in selling, general and administrative expense, a $1.0 million decrease in interest expense and a $2.7 million increase in income tax benefit.
Results by Reportable Segment. Consolidated net sales for the Distribution segment decreased $35.8 million, or 22.5%, for the three months ended July 4, 2009 compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease in sales is a continuation of the decline experienced beginning during the second half of 2008 and was driven by a combination of factors, including a decrease in consumer spending on discretionary items, general economic recession, a year over year decline in truck and SUV sales, which directly impacts our business, and the decline in available credit in the marketplace, influenced by unprecedented turmoil and volatility in the financial

markets, which has impacted vehicle manufacturers, suppliers and customers. Net loss for the Distribution segment increased by $4.6 million for the three months ended July 4, 2009 compared to the three months ended June 28, 2008. The increase is due primarily to a decrease in gross profit, partially offset by a decrease in selling, general and administrative expense, interest expense and an increase in the income tax benefit.
The Retail segment’s sales decreased by $0.4 million, or 6.5%, for the three months ended July 4, 2009 compared to the same period in the prior year. The Retail segment’s net loss for the three month period ended July 4, 2009 increased less than $0.1 million compared to the same period in the prior year.

Net Sales. Net sales for the six months ended July 4, 2009 were $249.3 million, a decrease of $60.4 million, or 19.5%, compared to $309.7 million for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in sales is a continuation of the decline experienced beginning during the second half of 2008 and was driven by a combination of factors, including a decrease in consumer spending on discretionary items, general economic uncertainty, a year over year decline in truck and SUV sales, which directly impacts our business, and the decline in available credit in the marketplace, influenced by unprecedented turmoil and volatility in the financial markets, which has impacted vehicle manufacturers, suppliers and customers. Should any of these factors continue or worsen, it could have a further negative impact on our sales. Our Dropship fulfillment operations (shipping via third party delivery primarily to residential locations) achieved double digit increases in net sales versus the same period in the prior year. Our National Accounts (customers that participate in retail markets on a national or multi-region basis) saw a single digit increase in net sales while our Northeast, Midwest, West Coast, Canada, Southeast and International geographies saw double digit declines versus the same period in the prior year.
Gross Profit. Gross profit decreased by $19.7 million, or 19.9%, from $98.7 million for the six month period ended June 28, 2008 to $79.0 million for the six month period ended July 4, 2009. The decrease in gross profit resulted from lower sales and selling margins. Gross margin was 31.9% for the six month period ended June 28, 2008 versus 31.7% for the six month period ended July 4, 2009.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $84.7 million, or 27.4%, of sales for the six month period ended June 28, 2008 compared to $78.5 million or 31.5% of sales for the six month period ended July 4, 2009. The lower quarter-over-quarter expenses resulted primarily from a $6.0 million decrease in employee-related expense resulting from the cost reduction programs in the delivery, warehouse and selling areas, and by a $3.3 million decrease in delivery fuel costs. These decreases were partially offset by higher general and administrative expense due to increased bad debt expense and professional fees and by increased severance and facility-related exit costs.
Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense decreased by $2.2 million, or 13.0%, to $14.9 million for the six months ended July 4, 2009 compared to $17.1 million for the same period in the prior year. The decrease is primarily related to a decrease in variable interest rates.

Income Tax Benefit / (Expense). The income tax benefit increased by $4.3 million, to a benefit of $5.7 million for the six months ended July 4, 2009 from a benefit of $1.4 million for the six months ended June 28, 2008. Our effective tax benefit rate was 39.3% for the six months ended July 4, 2009 compared to an effective tax benefit rate of 48.6% for the six months ended June 28, 2008. This increase in effective tax benefit rate is due to the recognition of current net operating losses to be carried forward to future periods for both federal and state income taxes determined on the current statutory rates, which are partially offset by increases in the valuation allowance for operating loss carry forwards for state tax purposes. Additionally, the current period effective tax benefit rate increased as a result of the reduction in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits due to the lapse of certain statute of limitations for prior periods.
Net Income / (Loss). Net loss increased by $7.3 million to a loss of $8.8 million for the six months ended July 4, 2009, compared to a loss of $1.5 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase in the net loss is primarily attributed to a $19.7 million decrease in gross profit, partially offset by a $6.2 million decrease in selling, general and administrative expense, a $2.2 million decrease in interest expense and a $4.3 million increase in income tax benefit for the six months ended July 4, 2009.
Results by Reportable Segment. Consolidated net sales for the Distribution segment decreased $60.1 million, or 20.2%, for the six months ended July 4, 2009 compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease in sales is a continuation of the decline experienced beginning during the second half of 2008 and was driven by a combination of factors, including a decrease in consumer spending on discretionary items, general economic uncertainty, a year over year decline in truck and SUV sales, which directly impacts our business, and the decline in available credit in the marketplace, influenced by unprecedented turmoil and volatility in the financial markets, which has impacted vehicle manufacturers, suppliers and customers. Net loss for the Distribution segment increased by $7.5 million for the six months ended July 4, 2009 compared to the six months ended June 28, 2008. The increase is due primarily to a decrease in gross profit, partially offset by a decrease in selling, general and administrative expense, interest expense and an increase in the income tax benefit.
The Retail segment’s sales decreased by $0.3 million, or 2.4%, for the six months ended July 4, 2009 compared to the same period in the prior year. The Retail segment’s net loss for the six month period ended July 4, 2009 decreased by $0.2 million compared to the same period in the prior year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended July 4, 2009 was $30.8 million compared to net cash used in operating activities of $4.6 million for the six months ended June 28, 2008. The increase in cash from operations was driven by a larger reduction in the levels of net operating assets employed in the business than the prior year period, driven principally by improved management of inventories, partially offset by a decrease in net income after adjustment for non-cash charges. Non-cash charges include depreciation and amortization, amortization of deferred financing charges, net gains or losses on sales of property, plant and equipment, deferred income taxes, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, and other non-cash charges.
Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $2.2 million for the period ended July 4, 2009; a decrease of $1.5 million from the net cash used in investing activities of $3.7 million in the period ended June 28, 2008. The decrease in investing activities is related to lower purchases of property, plant and equipment, lower capitalized software costs and by an increase of proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment.
Financing Activities. Net cash used by financing activities during the six month period ended July 4, 2009 was $1.0 million for debt principal repayments, compared to net cash provided by financing activities during the same period ended June 28, 2008 of less than $0.1 million.

On January 12, 2007, the Company entered into (i) a Term Credit Agreement (the “Term Loan”) by and between the Company, as borrower, Holdings, the Lenders party thereto, Bank of America, N.A. as Administrative Agent, Syndication Agent and Documentation Agent, and the other parties named therein, and (ii) a Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Revolver” and, together with the Term Loan, the “Credit Agreement”) by and between the Company, as borrower, Holdings, the Lenders party thereto, Bank of America, N.A. as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender, and the other parties named therein. The Credit Agreements provide the Company with operational flexibility and liquidity to meet its strategic and operational goals. As of July 4, 2009, we had $91.6 million in available cash and borrowing capacity under the Revolver. Our principal uses of cash are debt service requirements, capital expenditures and working capital requirements. Less frequent uses of cash can include payments of restrictive distributions to Holdings, and acquisitions.
The Credit Agreement contains affirmative covenants regarding, among other things, the delivery of financial and other information to the lenders, maintenance of properties and insurance, and conduct of business. The Credit Agreement also contains negative covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to, among other things, create liens, dispose of all or substantially all of their properties, including merging with another entity, incur debt, and make investments, including acquisitions. The Revolver includes a springing financial covenant if and when Excess Availability does not equal or exceed the greater of (x) ten percent of the then Applicable Borrowing Base and (y) $8.0 million, which requires the Consolidated Fixed Charge Ratio for the last four consecutive quarters to exceed 1.0 to 1.0. There are no maintenance financial covenants under the Term Loan. The foregoing restrictions are subject to certain exceptions which are customary for facilities of this type.
Debt Service. The Credit Agreement consists of our five-year asset-based Revolver with a commitment amount of $125.0 million and our five-year Term Loan amortizing $200.0 million (with an option to increase by an additional $25.0 million). As of July 4, 2009, under our Credit Agreement and our 9.75% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 (the “Notes”), we had total indebtedness of $392.5 million and $36.7 million of borrowing availability as defined by our Revolver, subject to customary conditions.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement generally bear interest at a margin over, at our option, the base rate or the reserve-adjusted LIBOR. As of July 4, 2009, the applicable margin was 150 basis points over LIBOR or 50 basis points over the base rate for revolving credit loans and 350 basis points over LIBOR or 250 basis points over the base rate for the Term Loan. Our obligations under the Revolver are secured by a first priority security interest in all of our receivables and inventory and a second priority security interest in the stock of our subsidiaries and all other assets of us and the guarantors under the Revolver. The Term Loan is secured by a first priority security interest in all machinery and equipment, real estate, intangibles and stock of the subsidiaries of us and the guarantors under the Term Loan, and a second priority security interest in our receivables and inventory.
The Notes mature in 2013 and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by all of our existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries, jointly and severally, on a senior subordinated basis. Interest on the Notes accrues at the rate of 9.75% per annum and is payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on May 1 and November 1, commencing on May 1, 2004. The Notes and the guarantees are unsecured senior subordinated obligations and will be subordinated to all of our subsidiaries’ and guarantors’ existing and future senior debt. If we cannot make payments required by the Notes, the subsidiary guarantors are required to make the payments.
Capital Expenditures. We expect to spend approximately $5.0 million on capital expenditures in 2009. Through the six months ended July 4, 2009, $2.6 million was spent on capital expenditures. Although the Credit Agreement contains restrictions on the total amount of our annual capital expenditures, management believes that the amount of capital expenditures permitted to be made under the Credit Agreement is adequate for our business strategy and to maintain the properties and business of our continuing operations.

Working Capital. Working capital totaled approximately $135.9 million at July 4, 2009 and $140.1 million at January 3, 2009. We maintain sizable inventory in order to help secure our position as a critical link in the industry between vendors and customers, and believe that we will continue to require working capital consistent with recent past experience. Our working capital needs are seasonal, and we build working capital in the winter months in anticipation of the peak spring and summer season, during which time our working capital tends to be reduced.
Acquisitions. As a part of our business strategy, we will continue to evaluate acquisition and business expansion opportunities in regions that are not well served by our existing distribution facilities or where we believe significant business synergies exist. We cannot guarantee that any acquisitions will be consummated. If we do consummate any acquisition, it could require us to incur additional debt under our Credit Agreement or otherwise and such acquisition could be material. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available when required or, if available, that it will be on terms satisfactory to us.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On December 15, 2006, the SEC adopted new measures to grant relief to non-accelerated filers, including the Company, by extending the date of required compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
23
Table of Contents
(“the Act”). Under these new measures, the Company is required to comply with the Act in two phases. The first phase was completed for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 29, 2007 and required the Company to furnish a management report on internal control over financial reporting. The second phase requires the Company to provide an auditor’s attestation report on internal control over financial reporting beginning with the Company’s fiscal year ending January 3, 2009. On June 20, 2008, the SEC approved an additional one year extension for non-accelerated filers with respect to the requirement that companies include in their annual report the auditor’s attestation report on internal control over financial reporting. Under the amendment, the Company would be required to provide the auditor’s attestation report on internal control over financial reporting beginning with our fiscal year ending January 2, 2010.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R provides revised guidance on how acquirers recognize and measure the consideration transferred, identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, noncontrolling interests, and goodwill acquired in a business combination. SFAS 141R also expands required disclosures surrounding the nature and financial effects of business combinations. SFAS 141R is effective, on a prospective basis, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Adoption of SFAS 141R did not have a material impact upon adoption, however, the Company will be required to expense transaction costs related to any acquisitions after January 3, 2009; non controlling (minority) interests are valued at fair value at the acquisition date; restructuring costs associated with a business combination are generally expensed subsequent to the acquisition date; and changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally will affect income tax expense.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”) which introduced a new framework for determining fair value measurements. SFAS 157 has been effective since December 30, 2007 for financial assets and liabilities and for nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Effective January 4, 2009, the Company adopted SFAS 157 for non financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. On January 4, 2009, the date of adoption for the Company, no such measurements were required and, therefore, there was no impact associated with the adoption.
On April 25, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets”. The FSP amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FASB Statement No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”). The FSP is intended to improve the consistency between the useful life of an intangible asset determined under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS 141R and other US GAAP. The FSP is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and for the interim periods within those fiscal years. Adoption of FSP 142-3 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009 the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”. The FSP amends FAS 107 “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, (“SFAS 107”) to require disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments not measured on the balance sheet at fair value in interim financial statements as well as annual financial statements. The FSP is effective for periods ending after June 15, 2009 and applies to all financial instruments within the scope of SFAS 107 and requires all entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments. The FSP requires comparative disclosures only for periods ending after initial adoption. Adoption of the FSP resulted in the inclusion of the additional required disclosure in the Company’s interim financial statements for periods ending after June 15, 2009.
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS 165”). SFAS 165 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS 165 is effective for interim or annual periods

ending after June 15, 2009. Adoption of SFAS 165 resulted in the inclusion of the additional required disclosure in the Company’s financial statements for periods ending after June 15, 2009.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”, (“SFAS 168”) completing its accounting standards codification (the “Codification”) as the single source of authoritative U.S. accounting and reporting standards applicable for all non-governmental entities, with the exception of the SEC and its staff, superseding existing FASB, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”), Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”), and related accounting literature. SFAS 168, which changes the referencing of financial standards, is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company will adopt the use of the Codification for the quarter ending October 3, 2009, therefore in our future financial statements, all references made to U.S. GAAP will use the new Codification referencing system prescribed by the FASB. As SFAS 168 is not intended to change or alter existing U.S. GAAP, it will not have any impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
We are exposed to certain market risks as part of our on-going business operations. Primary exposure includes changes in interest rates as borrowings under our senior credit facilities bear interest at floating rates based on LIBOR or the base rate, in each case plus an applicable borrowing margin. We manage our interest rate risk by balancing the amount of fixed-rate and floating-rate debt. For fixed-rate debt, interest rate changes affect the fair market value but do not affect earnings or cash flows. Conversely, for floating-rate debt, interest rate changes generally do not affect the fair market value but do impact our earnings and cash flows, assuming other factors are held constant.
We may use derivative financial instruments, where appropriate, to manage our interest rate risks. However, as a matter of policy, we will not enter into derivative or other financial investments for trading or speculative purposes. We do not have any speculative or leveraged derivative transactions. Most of our sales are denominated in U.S. dollars; thus our financial results are not subject to any material foreign currency exchange risks.
Both the industry in which we operate and our distribution methods are affected by the availability and price of fuel. We use a fleet of trucks to deliver specialty automotive equipment parts to our customers. While recently moderated, the general upward trend in the cost of fuel over the past several years has caused us to incur increased costs in operating our fleet, which has an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Interest Rate Risk and Sensitivity Analysis
As of July 4, 2009, our exposure to changes in interest rates is related to our Credit Agreement with a balance of $217.5 million; comprised of 189.2 million in debt, under the Term Loan and $28.3 million under the Revolver. The Credit Agreement provides for quarterly principal and interest payments at LIBOR plus 3.5% and matures in 2012. Based on the amount outstanding and affected by variable interest rates, a 100 basis point change would result in an approximately $2.2 million change to interest expense. The interest rate on both the $175.0 million of our Notes and the $0.1 million in debt related to capital leases are fixed.

Inflation
We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our current business, financial condition or results of operations.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating (1) the design of procedures to ensure that material information relating to us is made known to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer by others and (2) the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Changes in Internal Controls. No change in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the fiscal quarter ended July 4, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. | Legal Proceedings |
The Company is not currently a party to any material legal proceedings. The Company is a party to various lawsuits arising in the normal course of business, and has certain contingent liabilities arising from various other pending claims and legal proceedings. While the amount of liability that may result from these matters cannot be determined, we believe the ultimate liability will not materially affect our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Item 1A. | Risk Factors |
For a more detailed explanation of the factors affecting our business, please refer to the factors and cautionary language set forth in the section entitled “Forward-Looking Statements Section” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in the “Risk Factors” section in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2009.
