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

                        LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Midas' cash and cash equivalents decreased $1.0 million during fiscal 2001.

     The Company generated net cash flows from operating activities of $7.0
million for the first six months of fiscal 2001 versus $6.5 million for the
first six months of fiscal 2000. The year-over-year decrease in net income of
$9.8 million was offset by a $1.6 million increase in depreciation and
amortization, a $0.6 million decrease in business transformation payments, a
$3.8 million decrease in gains on the sale of assets, and a $4.3 million
decrease in working capital changes.

     The Company's working capital needs generally expand during the second
quarter (higher receivables and inventory) due to the normal seasonal upturn in
the business. In addition, the continued opening of new Parts Warehouse, Inc.
("PWI") locations and company-operated shops will continue to expand the working
capital needs of the Company. For 2001, these increases in working capital
requirements were mitigated by $7.8 million of income tax refunds.

     Investing activities used $16.0 million in cash during the first half of
fiscal 2001 compared to $8.1 million during the first half of fiscal 2000.
Fiscal 2001 investing activities consist of capital investments and cash paid
for acquired businesses totaling $16.0 million. Capital investments relate to
ongoing system projects, expansion of the PWI network, and normal capital
expenditures. Businesses acquired during the first half of fiscal 2001 include
additional company-operated shops and the purchase of Progressive Automotive
Systems of Houston, Texas, a provider of automotive industry point-of-sale
software sold under the name R.O.Writer. Fiscal 2000 investing activities
consist of capital investments and cash paid for acquired businesses totaling
$16.8 million, offset by proceeds of $8.7 million, which included $5.6 million
from the sale of a former manufacturing facility and $2.5 million related to the
sale of the Company's Australian operations. Fiscal 2000 capital expenditures
were primarily related to management information system projects, while
businesses acquired consisted of 27 climate control distribution locations
purchased as part of the PWI expansion strategy.

     Net cash generated by financing activities was $8.0 million in the first
half of fiscal 2001 compared to $8.9 million of funds used in the first half of
fiscal 2000.  This change was the result of lower treasury stock purchases and
higher borrowings in fiscal 2001 as compared to fiscal 2000.  During fiscal
2001, the Company borrowed $10.4 million to fund capital investments and
business acquisitions, paid $1.0 million for treasury shares and paid $1.5
million in dividends to shareholders.  In fiscal 2000, the Company had net
borrowings of $0.7 million, paid $11.0 million for treasury shares, and paid
$0.6 million in dividends to shareholders.

     The Company believes that current cash balances, cash generated from
operations, and availability under its line of credit will be adequate to fund
the growth in working capital and capital expenditures necessary to support
future growth in sales for the foreseeable future, as well as the Company's
share repurchase plan.

      Second Quarter Fiscal 2001 Compared with Second Quarter Fiscal 2000

     The following is a summary of the Company's sales and revenues for the
second quarter of fiscal 2001 and 2000: ($ Millions)

                                ======      ======       ======        ======


     Sales and revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2001 were $11.1 million
below last year's fiscal second quarter due entirely to an $11.5 million decline
in replacement parts sales. While Midas system comparable store sales continue
to grow (comparable store sales were up 2 percent for the quarter), the changing
mix of retail sales out of the core categories of exhaust and brakes continues
to negatively impact Midas replacement parts sales. Midas dealers have
traditionally purchased the majority of their exhaust and brake part needs from
Midas under a weekly delivery program. Therefore, exhaust and brake parts have
historically accounted for the majority of Midas' replacement parts sales
through the Midas distribution centers. As Midas dealers have expanded into new
service categories, their needs for replacement parts have changed. The breadth
of services and the complexity of today's vehicles make it impractical for shops
to carry a full assortment of inventory and to rely on a weekly replenishment
system. As a result, Midas dealers are purchasing an ever-increasing portion of
their needs from sources other than Midas.

     The Company's Parts Warehouse, Inc. ("PWI") strategy is intended to counter
this trend by locating the parts closer to the Midas dealers making it possible
for Midas dealers to buy from PWI on an "as needed" basis. As of June 30, 2001,
the Company had 57 PWI locations open for business and plans to add several
hundred in the next several years.

     Cost of sales and revenues decreased $6.5 million or 11.9% compared to the
second quarter of fiscal 2000. Cost of sales and revenues as a percent of total
sales and revenues decreased from 55.3% in the second quarter of fiscal 2000 to
54.9% in the second quarter of fiscal 2001. This improvement in gross margin is
the result of a greater proportion of higher-margin retail sales from company-
operated shops and higher royalties.

     Selling, general and distribution expenses for the second quarter of fiscal
2001 increased $1.2 million from $24.9 million in fiscal 2000 to $26.1 million
in fiscal 2001. This increase in operating expenses was related to costs
associated with the new PWI distribution network and an increase in the number
of Company-operated shops. As a percentage of total sales and revenues, selling,
general and distribution expenses represented 29.9% of sales during the second
quarter of fiscal 2001 versus 25.3% in the second quarter of fiscal 2000.

     As a result of the above changes, operating income decreased by $5.8
million from $19.1 million in fiscal 2000 to $13.3 million for the second
quarter of fiscal 2001.

                                       7


     Other income declined from $2.0 million in fiscal 2000 to $0.2 million for
the second quarter of fiscal 2001.  The fiscal 2000 amount included a non-
recurring gain of $1.8 million from the sale of Midas' Australian operations.

     The tax provision for the second quarter of fiscal 2000 included a
favorable tax benefit of $0.7 million on the sale of Midas' Australian
operations.  There was no comparable activity in fiscal 2001.

     As a result of the above items, net income decreased $5.5 million from
$12.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2000 to $6.9 million in the second
quarter of fiscal 2001.

                                           ======    =====      ======   =====


     Sales and revenues for the first six months of fiscal 2001 were $12.2
million below the prior year due to a $14.0 million decline in replacement parts
sales.  As previously mentioned, parts sales to Midas dealers and other
customers through the Company's traditional network of distribution centers
continue to be affected by the transformation of Midas shops to new services and
declines in the demand for exhaust products.  Sales from Company-operated shops
were up $1.9 million due to an increase in the average number of shops during
the period as well as increases in comparable shop retail sales.  Royalties and
license fees were up slightly to $33.3 million from $32.8 million in 2000 due to
an increase in North American franchisee retail sales, including a 2 percent
increase in comparable shop retail sales.

     Cost of sales and revenues declined $7.7 million or 8% compared to the
first six months of fiscal 2000.  Cost of sales and revenues as a percent of
total sales and revenues decreased slightly from 54.4% in the first six months
of fiscal 1999 to 53.8% in the first six months of fiscal 2000.  This
improvement in gross margin is the result of a greater proportion of higher-
margin retail sales from company-operated shops and higher royalties.

     Selling, general and distribution expenses for the first six months of
fiscal 2001 increased $6.5 million from $49.1 million in fiscal 2000 to $55.6
million in fiscal 2001.  This increase in operating expenses was related to
costs associated with the new PWI distribution network and an increase in the
number of company-operated shops.  As a percentage of total sales and revenues,
selling, general and distribution expenses represented 33.7% of sales during the
first six months of fiscal 2001 versus 27.7% in the prior fiscal period.

                                       8


     As a result of the above changes, operating income decreased by $11.0
million from $31.6 million in fiscal 2000 to $20.6 million for the first six
months of fiscal 2001 and the operating income margin decreased from 17.9% in
fiscal 2000 to 12.5% in fiscal 2001.

     Other income declined from $3.9 million in fiscal 2000 to $0.4 million in
the first six months of fiscal 2001. Fiscal 2000 other income included non-
recurring gains of $1.2 million from the sale of one of the Company's former
manufacturing plants and $1.8 million from the sale of Midas' Australian
operations.

     As a result of the above items, net income decreased $9.8 million from
$19.9 million in the first six months of fiscal 2000 to $10.1 million in the
first six months of fiscal 2001.
