                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note 1 - Stock Repurchase
- -------------------------

         In November 1999, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase
program initially authorizing the Company to purchase up to 300,000 shares of
its common stock at market prices. In May 2000, the Board of Directors approved
an increase of 120,000 shares, bringing the total authorization to 420,000
shares. The amount and timing of any purchase will depend upon a number of
factors, including the price and availability of the Company's shares and
general market conditions. The Company's purchases of common stock are recorded
as "Treasury Stock" and result in a reduction of "Shareholders' equity". At
September 30, 2000, the Company had repurchased 125,600 shares under such
program.

Note 2 - Acquisition of Speedy Stores
- -------------------------------------

         In September 1998, the Company completed the acquisition of 189
company-operated and 14 dealer-operated Speedy stores, all located in the United
States, from SMK Speedy International Inc. of Toronto Canada. Speedy stores
provide automotive repair services, specializing in undercar care, in 11 states
located primarily in the northeast. The acquisition was accounted for as a
purchase, and accordingly, the operating results of Speedy have been included in
the Company's consolidated financial statements since the date of the
acquisition.

         Approximately $51 million was borrowed under a new $135 million secured
credit facility to pay the all-cash purchase price, with an additional $16
million of borrowings to provide for the closing of underperforming or redundant
Speedy stores, capital expenditures at remaining Speedy stores and transaction
expenses.

         The excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of net
assets acquired is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 20 years.

         In connection with the acquisition, the Company recorded a reserve for
accrued restructuring costs of approximately $7.8 million. This reserve relates
to costs associated with the closing of 41 poorly performing or duplicative
Speedy stores, and includes charges for rent and real estate taxes (net of
anticipated sublease income), the write down of assets to their fair market
value, and net losses experienced by these stores through their closure date.

Note 3 - Inventories
- --------------------

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

         Substantially all merchandise inventories are valued under the last-in,
first-out (LIFO) method. Under the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method, these
inventories would have been $199,000 and $124,000 higher at September 30, 2000
and March 31, 2000, respectively. The FIFO value of inventory approximates the
current replacement cost.

Note 4 - Cash and Equivalents
- -----------------------------

         The Company's policy is to invest cash in excess of operating
requirements in income producing investments. Cash equivalents of $1,422,000 at
September 30, 2000 and $507,000 at March 31, 2000 include money market accounts
which have maturities of three months or less.

SECOND QUARTER AND SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 COMPARED TO
SECOND QUARTER AND SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999

         Sales were $60.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2000
compared with $60.5 million in the quarter ended September 30, 1999. The sales
decrease of $.1 million, or .2%, was due to a decrease of $.9 million related to
stores closed during fiscal 2000 and 2001. These decreases were partially offset
by an increase in sales of new stores of $.8 million. Comparable store sales
were flat for the quarter ended September 30, 2000. Sales for the six months
ended September 30, 2000 were $121.1 million compared to $121.5 million for the
comparable period of the prior year. The sales decrease of $.4 million, or .3%,
was due to a decrease in comparable store sales of .2% and a decrease of $2.2
million related to stores closed during fiscal 2000 and 2001. These decreases
were partially offset by an increase in sales from new stores of $2.0 million.
At September 30, 2000, the Company had 510 company-operated stores as compared
to 515 at September 30, 1999.

         Gross profit for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 was $25.1 million
as compared with $25.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1999. As a
percent of sales, gross profit was flat between the two quarters at 41.6% of
sales. Gross profit for the six months ended September 30, 2000 was $51.0
million, or 42.1% of sales, compared to $50.7 million or 41.8% of sales, for the
six months ended September 30, 1999. The increase in gross profit for the six
months ended September 30, 2000 was primarily attributable to a decrease in
technician labor costs due to improved productivity and control.

         Operating, selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter
ended September 30, 2000 were flat at $17.7 million or 29.3% of sales, as
compared to the quarter ended September 30, 1999. For the six months ended
September 30, 2000, these expenses decreased by $.7 million to $36.1 million
from the comparable period of the prior year and were 29.8% of sales compared to
30.3% in the comparable period of the prior year.

         Operating income for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 of
approximately $7.5 million increased .3% over operating income for the quarter
ended September 30, 1999, and remained flat as a percentage of sales at 12.3%
for the respective periods. On a year-to-date basis, operating income increased
approximately $.9 million or 6.8% over the same prior year period, and increased
as a percentage of sales from 11.5% to 12.3% during this same period.

         Net interest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 decreased
by approximately $.2 million compared to the comparable period in the prior
year, and decreased from 2.8% to 2.5% as a percentage of sales for the same
period. Net interest expense for the six months ended September 30, 2000
decreased by approximately $.3 million compared to the same period in the prior
year, and decreased from 2.8% to 2.6% as a percentage of sales for the same
period. The weighted average interest rate for the quarter ended September 30,
2000 was approximately .6% higher than the rate for the quarter ended September
30, 1999. However, the weighted average debt outstanding decreased by
approximately $13.8 million, resulting in a decrease in expense between the two
quarters.

         Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 of $3.5 million
increased 8.1% from net income for the quarter ended September 30, 1999. For the
six months ended September 30, 2000 net income of $6.9 million increased 17.2%,
due to the factors discussed above. Earnings per share for the quarter and six
months ended September 30, 2000 increased 8.3% and 18.2%, respectively.

         Interim Period Reporting

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

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

         Capital Resources

         In fiscal year 2001, the Company's primary capital requirements have
been the funding of its new store expansion program and the upgrading of
facilities and systems in existing stores. For the six months ended September
30, 2000, the Company spent approximately $5.1 million for equipment and new
store construction. Funds were provided primarily by cash flow from operations.
Management believes that the Company has sufficient resources available
(including cash and equivalents, net cash flow from operations and bank
financing) to expand its business as currently planned for the next several
years.

         Liquidity

         Concurrent with the closing of the Speedy acquisition in September
1998, the Company obtained a new $135 million secured credit facility ("the
Credit Facility" or "the Facility") from a syndication of lenders led by The
Chase Manhattan Bank. Approximately $55 million was borrowed under this Facility
to pay the all-cash purchase price, including transaction expenses of
approximately $4 million. In addition, the Company refinanced approximately $35
million of indebtedness through the new Credit Facility, with the balance of the
Facility available for future working capital needs. More specifically, the new
financing structure consists of a $25 million term loan (of which approximately
$20 million was outstanding at September 30, 2000), a $75 million Revolving
credit facility (of which approximately $27.5 million was outstanding at
September 30, 2000), and synthetic lease (off-balance sheet) financing for a
significant portion of the Speedy real estate, totaling $35 million (of which
approximately $32.8 million was outstanding at September 30, 2000). The loans
bear interest at the prime rate or LIBOR-based rate options tied to the
Company's financial performance. The Company must also pay a facility fee on the
unused portion of the commitment.

         The Credit Facility has a five-year term. Interest only is payable
monthly on the Revolving credit and synthetic lease borrowings throughout the
term. In addition to monthly interest payments, the $25 million term loan
requires quarterly principal payments. Principal payments totalling $5 million
have been paid through September 30, 2000.

         The term loan and Revolving credit facility are secured by all accounts
receivable, inventory and other personal property. The Company has also entered
into a negative pledge agreement not to encumber any real property, with certain
permissible exceptions. The synthetic lease is secured by the real property to
which it relates.

         Certain of the Company's stores are financed by mortgages currently
bearing interest at LIBOR plus 100 basis points.

         The Company has financed its office/warehouse facility via a 10 year
mortgage with a current balance of $2.2 million, amortizable over 20 years, and
an eight year term loan with a balance of $.3 million.

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

         The Company enters into interest rate hedge agreements which involve
the exchange of fixed and floating rate interest payments periodically over the
life of the agreement without the exchange of the underlying principal amounts.
The differential to be paid or received is accrued as interest rates change and
is recognized over the life of the agreements as an adjustment to interest
expense.

FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

         On June 17, 1998 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 ("SFAS 133"), "Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" effective for fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2000. This statement standardizes the accounting for
derivatives and hedging activities and requires that all derivatives be
recognized in the statement of financial position as either assets or
liabilities at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that do not
meet the hedge accounting criteria are to be reported in earnings. Adoption of
this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
