1.   Basis of Presentation:

     Advance Stores Company, Incorporated is a wholly owned subsidiary of
Advance Holding Corporation (the Parent). The accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Advance Stores
Company, Incorporated and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the Company). All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.

     The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of October 9, 1999, the
condensed consolidated statements of operations for the 12-week and 40-week
periods ended October 9, 1999 and October 10, 1998 and the statements of cash
flows for the 40-week periods ended October 9, 1999 and October 10, 1998, have
been prepared by the Company and have not been audited. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments,
necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of the Company, the
results of its operations and cash flows have been made.

     Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted. These financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended January 2,
1999.

     The results of operations for the 12-week and 40-week periods are not
necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full
fiscal year.

     Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     Effective January 3, 1999, the Company adopted the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountant's Statement of Position (SOP) 98-1, "Accounting for
the Cost of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use". The SOP
requires companies to capitalize certain expenditures related to development of
or obtaining computer software for internal use. The SOP was issued in March of
1998 and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998. The
adoption of the SOP did not have a material effect on the Company's financial
position or results of operations.

     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 at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

     Reclassifications

     Certain 1998 amounts have been reclassified to conform with their 1999
presentation.

3.   Inventories:

     Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using the last-in,
first-out (LIFO) method. An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method
can be made only at the end of each fiscal year based on the inventory levels
and costs at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations must be based on
management's estimates of expected fiscal year-end inventory levels and costs.
The Company capitalizes certain purchasing and warehousing costs into inventory.
Purchasing and warehousing costs included in inventory at October 9, 1999 and
January 2, 1999 were $45,132 and $41,168, respectively. Inventories consist of
the following:

                                                  October 9,     January 2,

4.   Western Merger:

     On November 2, 1998, the Company consummated a Plan of Merger (the Western
Merger) with Sears, Roebuck and Co. (Sears) to acquire Western Auto Supply
Company (Western) for $175,000 in cash and 11,474,606 shares of the Parent's
common stock. Additionally, the Company agreed to share losses incurred by Sears
as a result of the sale, or as a result of continuing the private label credit
card programs up to a maximum of $10,000. Based on the sale of the private label
credit card program, the Company has recorded the $10,000 as additional purchase
price.

          The Western Merger has been accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting. Accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the assets
acquired and the liabilities assumed based on fair values. In continuation of
management's plan related to the Western Merger (Note 5), the Company recognized
additional net liabilities of $2,167 during the third quarter of fiscal 1999.
The charges primarily represent adjustments in store and other facility exit
costs and pre-acquisition contingencies. During the third quarter of fiscal
1999, the Company also recognized $75 of acquisition costs associated with the
Western Merger. The above items resulted in a reduction of negative goodwill of
approximately $2,242, which resulted in an increase to property and equipment on
the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of October 9, 1999.

     As of October 9, 1999, the Company finalized all purchase accounting
related to the Western Merger. As such, aggregate negative goodwill of $4,667,
resulting from excess fair value over the purchase price, has been allocated
proportionately as a reduction to certain non-current assets, primarily property
and equipment. A summary of the fair value of the net assets acquired and cash
paid in the Western Merger follows:



          Fair value of assets acquired                          $  661,305

     Total acquisition costs related to the transaction were approximately
$4,983, of which $137 is reflected in accrued liabilities at October 9, 1999.

5.   Restructuring Liabilities:

     Expenses associated with restructuring are included in selling, general and
administrative expenses in the accompanying Statements of Operations. These
expenses include estimated exit costs and write-offs of related leasehold
improvements associated with the decision to close Advance Auto Parts stores in
overlapping markets with certain Parts America Stores obtained in the Western
Merger. From the date of the Western Merger through October 9, 1999, the Company
closed 31 of these overlapping stores, of which 27 stores were included in the
restructuring liability. During the third quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company
made the decision to close or relocate seven leased stores as part of normal
operations, four of which were closed as of October 9, 1999.

     In connection with the Western Merger, the Company assumed the
restructuring accrual related to Western's restructuring activities prior to the
Western Merger. As of October 9, 1999, this restructuring accrual relates
primarily to ongoing lease obligations on closed facilities and estimated
severance payments.

     A reconciliation of activity with respect to these restructuring accruals
is as follows:

As of the date of the Western Merger, management began to assess and formulate a
plan to close certain Parts America stores in overlapping markets or stores not
meeting the Company's profitability objectives, to exit certain other
facilities, to relocate certain Western administrative functions to the
Company's headquarters and to terminate certain management, administrative and
support employees of Western. As of October 9, 1999, the Company finalized its
plan for termination of employees and closure of Parts America stores.  The
Company expects to complete the execution of the plan by the end of fiscal 1999.
Since the date of the Western Merger, the Company has terminated 352 employees
and closed 67 owned and leased Parts America stores, net of one relocation.  Of
the closed locations, 54 were leased properties accrued as part of the
restructuring reserve.

     A reconciliation of activity with respect to these liabilities, which are
included in accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities on the condensed
consolidated balance sheets, is as follows:

6.   Contingencies:

     In November 1997, a plaintiff, on behalf of himself and others similarly
situated, filed a class action complaint and motion of class certification
against the Company in the circuit court for Jefferson County, Tennessee,
alleging misconduct in the sale of automobile batteries. The complaint seeks
compensatory and punitive damages. The case is in the discovery stage and
management plans a vigorous defense. In addition, three lawsuits were filed
against the Company in July 1998, for a wrongful death relating to an automobile
accident involving an employee of the Company. Management believes the financial
exposure related to the automobile accident is covered by insurance.

     On November 1, 1999, the United States District Court of Appeals for the
Sixth District reaffirmed the decisions of the United States District Court for
the Western District of Kentucky. Those decisions held that the Company was
entitled to exclusive use of the name "Advance Auto Parts" throughout the United
States, except in Jefferson County, Kentucky, and that the Company was entitled
to summary judgment in connection with various infringement and unfair
competition claims brought by the appellant.

     In January 1999, the Company was notified by the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that Western Auto may have potential
liability under the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and
Liability Act relating to two battery salvage and recycling sites that were in
operation in the 1970's and 1980's. The EPA has indicated the total cleanup
costs for the site will be approximately $1,600. Management is continuing their
investigation of the EPA notification. An estimate of the range of the Company's
liability is not reasonably possible until technical studies are sufficiently
completed and the amount of potential indemnification from Sears, if any, is
further investigated. The ultimate exposure will also depend upon the
participation of other parties named in the notification who are believed to
share in responsibility.

     The Company is also involved in various other claims and lawsuits arising
in the normal course of business. Although the final outcome of these legal
matters cannot be determined, based on the facts presently known, it is
management's opinion that the final outcome of such claims and lawsuits will not
have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of
operations.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS

     Advance Stores Company, Incorporated (the "Company"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Advance Holding Corporation ("Holding"), is the second largest
retailer of automotive parts and accessories in the United States.  As of
October 9, 1999, the Company had 1,601 stores in 39 states, Puerto Rico and the
U.S. Virgin Islands operating under the "Advance Auto Parts" and "Western Auto"
names.  Stores operating in Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and one store
in each of California and Hawaii operating under the Western Auto name (the
"Service Stores") offer automotive parts and accessories as well as service,
repairs, tires and certain non-automotive goods.  In addition, the Company
supplies automotive parts, home products and various support services to
approximately 690 independent stores in 48 states through the wholesale dealer
network.

     The Company was formed in 1929.  In the 1980s, the Company sharpened its
marketing focus to target sales of automotive parts and accessories to "do-it-
yourself" ("DIY") customers and accelerated its growth strategy.  From the 1980s
through the present, the Company has grown significantly through new store
openings and strategic acquisitions.  In 1996, the Company began to aggressively
expand its sales to "do-it-for-me" ("DIFM") customers by implementing a
commercial delivery program that supplies parts and accessories to third party
automotive service and repair providers.

     The following discussion of the consolidated historical results of
operations and financial condition of the Company should be read in conjunction
with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company
and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.  The following
discussion and analysis covers periods before completion of the
Recapitalization, as described below.  The Company's first quarter consists of
16 weeks and its other three quarters consist of 12 weeks.

Forward-Looking Statements

     This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations and other sections of this quarterly report contain
certain "forward-looking statements" as defined in the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  These statements include without limitation the
words "believes," "anticipates," "estimates," "intends," "expects," and words of
similar import.  Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown
risks, uncertainties and other factors  may cause the actual results,
performance or achievements of the Company or the retail industry to be
materially different from any future results, performance or achievements
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

     These potential risks and uncertainties include, among others, the
following: general economic and business conditions; the Company's substantial
leverage and debt service obligations; restrictions on the Company's ability to
pursue its business strategies imposed by restrictive loan covenants; changes in
business strategy or development plans; competition; weather conditions;
integration of the Western Merger (as defined below); extent of the market
demand for auto parts; availability of inventory supply; adequacy and perception
of customer service, product quality and defect experience; availability of and
ability to take advantage of vendor pricing programs and incentives; rate of new
store openings; cannibalization of store sites; mix and types of merchandise
sold; governmental regulation of products; new store development; performance of
information systems; effectiveness of deliveries from distribution centers;
ability to hire, train and retain qualified employees; and environmental risks.
Forward-looking statements regarding revenues, expenses, cash flows and
liquidity are particularly subject to a variety of assumptions, some or all of
which may not be realized.  Given these uncertainties, prospective investors are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.  The
Company disclaims any obligation to update any such factors or to publicly
announce the results of any revisions to any of the forward-looking statements
contained herein to reflect future events or developments.

General

     During the first quarter of 1998, Holding consummated a recapitalization
through the sale of common stock, the issuance of debt, the redemption of common
and preferred stock and the repayments of notes payable and long-term debt (the
"Recapitalization").  Additionally, on November 2, 1998, Western Auto Supply
Company merged into a subsidiary of the Company (the "Western Merger").  As a
result of the Western Merger, the Company

                                       11
<PAGE>

issued to WA Holding Co., a wholly owned subsidiary of Sears, Roebuck and Co.
("Sears"), 11,474,606 shares of Common Stock of Holding (the "Holding Common
Stock") representing approximately 40.6% of the outstanding Holding Common
Stock, in addition to cash and assumption of certain liabilities.

     As a result of the Western Merger, the Company added 612 auto parts stores
in the United States.  The Parts America stores were similar to the Advance Auto
Parts stores in terms of size, format and product offerings.  In addition,
Western Auto Supply Company operated 38 auto parts and service stores in Puerto
Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands and one store in each of California and Hawaii
under the "Western Auto" name (the "Service Stores").  The Service Stores offer
automotive parts and accessories as well as service, repairs, tires and certain
non-automotive goods.  Western Auto Supply Company also supplied a wholesale
dealer network in 48 states.

     Beginning in the fourth quarter of 1998, the Company undertook a major
integration effort following the Western Merger. These integration efforts
included merchandise conversion strategies, sales force integration,
consolidation of duplicative stores and facilities, employee separations and
relocations and the integration of the management information systems of the
combined companies. From the date of the Western Merger through October 9, 1999,
352 employees have been terminated and 67 Parts America stores, 31 Advance Auto
Parts stores and one distribution center have been closed. Subsequent to October
9, 1999, the Company closed the Service Store located in Hilo, Hawaii.
Additionally, the integration of certain administrative functions associated
with the Parts America stores, Service Stores, and the wholesale dealer network
with the Company's headquarters is substantially complete. The Company expects
to complete this integration plan by the end of fiscal 1999. As of October 9,
1999, the Company finalized all purchase accounting related to the Western
Merger. Final purchase accounting adjustments in the third quarter related
primarily to changes in store and other facility exit costs and pre-acquisition
contingencies. As such, aggregate negative goodwill of $4.7 million resulting
from the excess of fair value over purchase price has been allocated
proportionately as a reduction to non-current assets.

     As of October 23, 1999, the Company completed the final phase of converting
the Parts America stores to Advance Auto Parts stores (the "Parts America
Conversion").  The Parts America Conversion changed certain merchandise lines
(the "Merchandise Conversion"), store level management information systems (the
"MIS Conversion"), and the format and name of the Parts America stores to
conform with the Advance Auto Parts stores (the "Physical Conversion").  The
Company does not plan to convert the Service Stores as part of the Parts America
Conversion.

     The Company expects to achieve benefits from the Western Merger through
improved product pricing and terms from vendors, consolidated advertising,
distribution and corporate support efficiencies, and the closure of certain
overlapping store locations. However, due to the Western Merger, the Company has
incurred and expects to incur additional store closing, store conversion,
distribution center conversion and system conversion expenses, other exit costs
as part of the Parts America Conversion and other integration costs. The Company
expects to incur additional integration costs through the fourth quarter of
fiscal 1999 related primarily to store, distribution center and information
system conversions. In addition, the Company, as part of its plan, will continue
to liquidate at reduced prices certain SKU's carried in the Service Store
inventory.

     Net sales consist primarily of comparable store net sales, new store net
sales and, for the twelve and forty weeks ended October 9, 1999, sales at stores
acquired in the Western Merger. Comparable store net sales is calculated based
on the change in net sales starting once a store has been opened for thirteen
complete accounting periods (each period represents four weeks). Relocations are
included in comparable store net sales from the date of opening. Additionally,
each converted Parts America store will be included in the comparable store net
sales calculation after thirteen complete accounting periods following its
Physical Conversion to an Advance Auto Parts store. The Company has not included
and currently does not plan to include Service Stores in its comparable store
net sales calculation.

     The Company's cost of goods sold includes merchandise costs and warehouse
and distribution expenses.  Gross profit as a percentage of net sales may be
affected by variations in the Company's product mix, price changes in response
to competitive factors and fluctuations in merchandise costs and vendor
programs.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses are comprised of store
payroll, store occupancy, net advertising expenses, depreciation and
amortization, other store expenses and general and administrative expenses,
including salaries and related benefits of corporate employees, administrative
office expenses, data processing, professional expenses and other related
expenses.

     Net sales for the twelve weeks ended October 9, 1999 were $522.2 million,
an increase of $263.4 million over net sales for the twelve weeks ended October
10, 1998. The net sales increase was a result of the Western Merger, comparable
store sales increase of 8.6% and new stores opened within the last year,
despite the negative impact of hurricanes Dennis and Floyd. The comparable sales
increase was due to the maturation of stores opened in 1997 and 1998, increased
product availability, continued growth in the commercial sales program and the
closure of certain Parts America stores in overlapping markets. Comparable store
sales increased 7.2% for the twelve weeks ended October 10, 1998.

     During the twelve weeks ended October 9, 1999, the Company opened 27 new
stores, relocated two stores, and closed 16 stores in addition to the stores
closed due to relocations (14 of which were in connection with the Western
Merger store closure program). Also, the Company added 80 stores to its
commercial delivery program, bringing the total to 1,065 stores. As of October
9, 1999, the Company operated 1,601 stores in 39 states, Puerto Rico and the
U.S. Virgin Islands and supplied approximately 690 independent dealers through
the wholesale dealer network.

     Gross profit for the twelve weeks ended October 9, 1999 was $203.5 million,
or 39.0% of net sales, compared with $98.4 million, or 38.0% of net sales, in
the twelve weeks ended October 10, 1998. The increase in the gross profit
percentage resulted from the realization of additional vendor support and price
reductions from purchasing synergies as a result of the Western Merger, offset
in part by additional shrinkage recorded in the third quarter of fiscal 1999
associated with the Parts America Conversion.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses, before expenses associated
with the merger integration and non-cash compensation, increased to $178.5
million, or 34.2% of net sales, in the twelve weeks ended October 9, 1999 from
$81.2 million, or 31.4% of net sales, in the twelve weeks ended October 10,
1998. The increase as a percentage of sales was due primarily to higher store
labor and advertising costs. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in
occupancy expense, resulting from a higher percentage of owned locations. The
Company recorded $10.3 million in merger integration and transition expenses for
the twelve weeks ended October 9, 1999. Merger integration and transition
expenses consisted primarily of store, merchandise and information system
conversions.

     Operating income, as adjusted for expenses associated with the merger
integration and non-cash compensation, in the twelve weeks ended October 9, 1999
was $25.0 million, or 4.8% of net sales, as compared to $17.0 million, or 6.5%
of net sales, in the twelve weeks ended October 10, 1998.

     EBITDA (operating income plus depreciation and amortization), as adjusted
for expenses associated with the Recapitalization, merger integration and non-
cash compensation, was $39.3 million in the twelve weeks ended October 9, 1999,
or 7.5% of net sales, as compared to $23.7 million, or 9.1% of net sales, in the
twelve weeks ended

                                       14

October 10, 1998. EBITDA is not intended to represent cash flow from
operations as defined by GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for
net income as an indicator of operating performance or as an alternative to cash
flow (as measured by GAAP) as a measure of liquidity. The Company's method for
calculating EBITDA may differ from similarly titled measures reported by other
companies. Management believes certain one-time expenses, expenses associated
with the merger integration and non-cash compensation should be eliminated from
the EBITDA calculation to evaluate the operating performance of the Company.

     Interest expense in the twelve weeks ended October 9, 1999 was $12.2
million, or 2.3% of net sales, compared to $8.3 million, or 3.2% of net sales,
in the twelve weeks ended October 10, 1998. The increase in interest expense in
the twelve weeks ended October 9, 1999 was primarily due to the additional debt
incurred in the Western Merger, increased borrowings under the Company's
revolving and delayed draw credit facilities and higher interest rates.

     Income tax provision for the twelve weeks ended October 9, 1999 was $1.2
million compared to $3.9 million in the twelve weeks ended October 10, 1998. The
decrease was primarily due to the decrease in income before taxes.

     As a result of the above factors, the Company recorded net income of $1.5
million in the twelve weeks ended October 9, 1999 as compared to $5.3 million in
the twelve weeks ended October 10, 1998. As a percentage of net sales, net
income for the twelve weeks ended October 9, 1999 was 0.3% as compared to 2.0%
for the twelve weeks ended October 10, 1998.

Forty Weeks Ended October 9, 1999 Compared to Forty Weeks Ended October 10, 1998

     Net sales for the Forty weeks ended October 9, 1999 were $1,733.7 million,
an increase of $930.9 million over net sales for the forty weeks ended October
10, 1998. The net sales increase was a result of the Western Merger, comparable
store sales increase of 11.4% and new stores opened within the last year. The
comparable sales increase was due to the maturation of stores opened in 1997 and
1998, increased product availability, continued growth in the commercial sales
program and the closure of certain Parts America stores in overlapping markets.
Comparable store sales increased 7.0% for the forty weeks ended October 10,
1998.

     During the forty weeks ended October 9, 1999, the Company opened 82 new
stores, reopened one closed location, relocated seven stores, and closed 45
stores in addition to the stores closed due to relocations (33 of which were
overlapping Parts America and Advance Auto Parts stores closed in connection
with the Western Merger.). Also, the Company added 533 stores to its commercial
delivery program, bringing the total to 1,065 stores. As of October 9, 1999, the
Company operated 1,601 stores in 39 states, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin
Islands and supplied approximately 690 independent dealers through the wholesale
dealer network.

     Gross profit for the forty weeks ended October 9, 1999 was $635.6 million,
or 36.7% of net sales, compared with $309.6 million, or 38.6% of net sales, in
the forty weeks ended October 10, 1998. The decrease in the gross profit
percentage resulted largely from the lower margins associated with the wholesale
dealer network, the liquidation of certain product lines related to the
Merchandise Conversion and shrinkage associated with the Parts America
Conversion. Excluding the impact of the above, the Company's gross profit
percentage on Advance Auto Parts and Parts America stores would have increased
as a result of generally better pricing and more favorable terms from its
vendors as well as increased vendor support in the forty weeks ended October 9,
1999 compared to the forty weeks ended October 10, 1998. This increase in vendor
support from long-term vendor agreements entered into as a result of the Western
Merger will also provide for price reductions on future purchases and has
resulted in deferred revenue for amounts from vendors that have not yet been
earned.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses, before expenses associated
with the Recapitalization, merger integration, private company and non-cash
compensation, increased to $587.2 million, or 33.9% of net sales, in the forty
weeks ended October 9, 1999 from $259.0 million, or 32.3% of net sales, in the
forty weeks ended October 10, 1998. The increase as a percentage of sales was
due primarily to higher store labor costs, the increase in advertising costs and
costs associated with the Company's national managers' conference. This increase
was partially offset by a decrease in occupancy expense, resulting from a higher
percentage of owned locations. The Company recorded $35.4 million in merger
integration and transition expenses and $1.0 million of non-cash compensation
for the forty

                                       15
<PAGE>

weeks ended October 9, 1999 and $14.2 million of Recapitalization expenses and
$0.8 million in private company expenses for the forty weeks ended October 10,
1998. Merger integration and transition expenses consisted primarily of store
and Merchandise Conversions, professional services, travel, training and project
incentives.

     Operating income, as adjusted for expenses associated with the
Recapitalization, merger integration, private company and non-cash compensation,
in the forty weeks ended October 9, 1999 was $48.4 million, or 2.8% of net
sales, as compared to $50.5 million, or 6.3% of net sales, in the forty weeks
ended October 10, 1998.

     EBITDA (operating income plus depreciation and amortization), as adjusted
for expenses associated with the Recapitalization, merger integration, private
company and non-cash compensation, was $92.1 million in the forty weeks ended
October 9, 1999, or 5.3% of net sales, as compared to $70.5 million, or 8.8% of
net sales, in the forty weeks ended October 10, 1998. EBITDA is not intended to
represent cash flow from operations as defined by GAAP and should not be
considered as a substitute for net income as an indicator of operating
performance or as an alternative to cash flow (as measured by GAAP) as a measure
of liquidity. The Company's method for calculating EBITDA may differ from
similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Management believes
certain one time expenses, expenses associated with the Recapitalization, merger
integration, private company and non-cash compensation should be eliminated from
the EBITDA calculation to evaluate the operating performance of the Company.

     Interest expense in the forty weeks ended October 9, 1999 was $40.7
million, or 2.3% of net sales, compared to $20.1 million, or 2.5% of net sales,
in the forty weeks ended October 10, 1998. The increase in interest expense in
the forty weeks ended October 9, 1999 was primarily due to the increase in debt
related to the Recapitalization, the additional debt incurred in the Western
Merger, increased borrowings under the Company's revolving and delayed draw
credit facilities and higher interest rates.

     Income tax benefit for the forty weeks ended October 9, 1999 was $10.1
million compared to an expense of $7.0 million in the forty weeks ended October
10, 1998. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in income before
income taxes. The Company believes it will realize these tax benefits because of
loss carrybacks to prior periods, reversal of temporary differences, tax
planning strategies and anticipated future earnings.

     As a result of the above factors, the Company recorded a net loss of $18.3
million in the forty weeks ended October 9, 1999 as compared to net income of
$8.9 million in the forty weeks ended October 10, 1998. As a percentage of net
sales, net loss for the forty weeks ended October 9, 1999 was 1.0% as compared
to net income of 1.1% for the forty weeks ended October 10, 1998.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company's primary capital requirements have been the funding of its
continued store expansion program, store relocations and remodels, inventory
requirements, the construction and upgrading of distribution centers, the
development and implementation of proprietary information systems and the
Western Merger. The Company has financed its growth through a combination of
internally generated funds, borrowings and issuances of equity.

     The Company's new stores require capital expenditures of approximately
$120,000 per store and an inventory investment of approximately $400,000 per
store. A substantial portion of these inventories is financed through vendor
payables. Pre-opening expenses, consisting primarily of store set-up costs and
training of new store employees, average approximately $25,000 per store and are
expensed when incurred. The Company expects to open approximately 100 new stores
during fiscal year 1999 and anticipates opening up to 150 new stores in fiscal
2000. Additionally, the Parts America Conversion required capital expenditures
of approximately $65,000 and conversion expense of approximately $30,000 per
store. Generally at the Western Merger date, Parts America stores carried
approximately $100,000 more inventory (including support inventory in the
distribution centers) than Advance Auto Parts stores. The Company expects to
reduce the inventory levels in the Parts America stores to the Company's average
over the next three to nine months.

     For the forty weeks ended October 9, 1999, net cash used in operating
activities was $52.5 million. Of this amount, $18.3 million was due to a net
loss. Depreciation provided an additional $43.7 million of funds,

                                       16
<PAGE>

amortization of deferred debt issuance costs provided an additional $2.5 million
and $80.4 million was used in working capital and other purposes, consisting
primarily of increases in inventory and receivables and a decrease in accounts
payable. Net cash used for investing activities was $79.5 million and was
comprised primarily of net capital expenditures of approximately $80.3 million.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $121.9 million and was comprised
primarily of net borrowings.

     The Company believes it will have sufficient liquidity to fund its debt
service obligations and implement its growth strategy over the next twelve
months. As of October 9, 1999, the Company had outstanding indebtedness
consisting of $200.0 million of Senior Subordinated Notes (the "Senior
Subordinated Notes"), borrowings of $341.0 million under its bank credit
facility (the "Bank Credit Facility"), $10.0 million of indebtedness under the
McDuffie County Development Authority Taxable Industrial Bonds ("IRB") and $3.3
million of obligation under a capital lease.

     The Senior Subordinated Notes bear interest at a rate of 10.25%, payable
semiannually, and require no principal payments until maturity in April 2008.
The Indenture governing the Senior Subordinated Notes contains certain covenants
that limit, among other things, the ability of the Company and its restricted
subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness and issue preferred stock, pay
dividends or certain other distributions, issue stock of subsidiaries, make
certain investments, repurchase stock and certain indebtedness, create or incur
liens, engage in transactions with affiliates, enter into new businesses, sell
stock of restricted subsidiaries and restrict the Company from engaging in
certain mergers or consolidations and sell assets. The $10.0 million principal
amount IRB bears interest at a variable rate and will require no principal
payments until maturity in November 2002.

     The Company has access to a total of $465.0 million through the Bank Credit
Facility in addition to its operating cash flow. The Bank Credit Facility
provides for (i) a $125.0 million Tranche B term loan, which was made at the
closing of the Recapitalization; (ii) a revolver, subject to a borrowing base as
described below, with maximum borrowings including letters of credit of
approximately $125.0 million, of which $56.7 million was available as of October
9, 1999, (iii) a $125.0 million delayed draw term loan, subject to a borrowing
base as described below, of which $55.0 million was available to the Company
through April 15, 2001, and (iv) a $90.0 million deferred term loan facility
which was drawn at the closing of the Western Merger. The availability under the
revolver and the delayed draw term loan is limited to borrowings that will allow
the Company to remain in compliance with debt covenants. As of October 9, 1999,
availability was limited to an aggregate of $35.0 million under the revolver and
delayed draw term loan. The term loan facilities, other than the Tranche B term
loan, will mature on the sixth anniversary of initial borrowing, and the Tranche
B term loan will mature on the eighth anniversary of initial borrowing. Annual
principal payments on the term loan facilities prior to the sixth anniversary of
initial borrowing will be nominal; thereafter, required principal payments will
be approximately $236.5 million in 2004, $60.0 million in 2005 and $30.0 million
in 2006, assuming the term loan facilities have been fully borrowed. The
revolving loan facility will mature on the sixth anniversary of initial
borrowing. The interest rates under the delayed draw facilities and the revolver
are determined by reference to a pricing grid that will provide for reductions
in the applicable interest rate margins based on the Company's trailing total
debt to EBITDA ratio (as defined in the Bank Credit Facility). The initial
margins will be 2.25% and 1.25% for Eurodollar and base rate borrowings,
respectively, and can step down to 1.75% and 0.75%, respectively, if the
Company's total debt to EBITDA ratio is less than or equal to 4.00 to 1.00. The
interest rate under the Tranche B term loan and the deferred term loan facility
is based, at the option of the Company, on a Eurodollar rate plus 2.50% or a
base rate plus 1.50%.

     The Bank Credit Facility contains covenants restricting the ability of the
Company and its subsidiaries to, among others things, (i) pay dividends on any
class of capital stock or make any payment to purchase, redeem, retire, acquire,
cancel or terminate capital stock, (ii) prepay, redeem, retire, acquire, cancel
or terminate debt, (iii) incur liens or engage in sale-leaseback transactions,
(iv) make loans, investments, advances or guarantees, (v) incur additional debt
(including hedging arrangements), (vi) make capital expenditures, (vii) engage
in mergers, acquisitions and asset sales, (viii) engage in transactions with
affiliates, (ix) enter into any agreement which restricts the ability to create
liens on property or assets or the ability of subsidiaries to pay dividends or
make payments on advances or loans to the Company or other subsidiaries; (x)
change the nature of the business conducted by the Company and its subsidiaries,
(xi) change the passive holding company status of Holding, and (xii) amend
existing debt agreements or the Company's or Holding's certificate of
incorporation, by-laws or other organizational documents. The Company is also
required to comply with financial covenants in the Bank Credit Facility with
respect to (a) limits on annual aggregate capital expenditures, (b) a maximum
leverage ratio, (c) a minimum interest

                                       17
<PAGE>

coverage ratio, and (d) a minimum retained cash earnings test. The Company is
generally prohibited from paying dividends (including to Holding) except that as
long as no defined event of default under the Bank Credit Facility then exists,
the Company will be permitted to pay dividends to Holding in an amount
sufficient to cover the cash interest due on the Debentures commencing October
15, 2003. The Company believes it is in compliance with the above covenants
under the Bank Credit Facility as of October 9, 1999.

     The loans under the Bank Credit Facility are secured by a first priority
security interest in all tangible and intangible assets of the Company. Amounts
available to the Company under the revolver and delayed draw term loans are
subject to a borrowing base formula, which is based on certain percentages of
the Company's inventories. As of October 9, 1999, $237.7 million was available
under these facilities, net of $12.3 million outstanding for letters of credit.
The Company intends to use borrowings under the revolver and delayed draw term
loans for store expansion, the Parts America Conversion and funding of working
capital. Borrowings under the Bank Credit Facility are required to be prepaid,
subject to certain exceptions, with (a) 50% of defined excess cash flow, (b)
100% of the net cash proceeds of all asset sales or other dispositions of
property by the Company and its subsidiaries (including certain insurance and
condemnation proceeds), subject to certain exceptions (including exceptions for
(i) reinvestment of certain asset sale proceeds within 360 days of such sale and
(ii) certain sale-leaseback transactions), (c) 100% of the net proceeds of
issuances of debt obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries, and (d) 100%
of the net proceeds of issuance of equity of the Company and its subsidiaries.
Because increases in net working capital, capital expenditures and debt
repayments are deducted in calculating excess cash flow, the Company does not
anticipate that the prepayment obligation under the Bank Credit Facility in
respect thereof will have a material effect on its operating strategy. With
respect to growth through acquisitions, the operation of this covenant may
result in the application of cash resources for prepayments which would require
the Company to secure additional equity or debt financing to fund an
acquisition, but while no assurance can be given, the Company does not
anticipate that this would have a material effect on its ability to finance
acquisitions in the future.

Seasonality

     The Company's business is somewhat seasonal in nature, with the highest
sales occurring in the spring and summer months. In addition, the Company's
business is affected by weather conditions. While unusually heavy precipitation
tends to soften sales as elective maintenance is deferred during such periods,
extremely hot and cold weather tends to enhance sales by causing parts to fail.

Year 2000 Conversion

     The following discussion about the implementation of the Company's Year
2000 program, the costs expected to be associated with the program and the
results the Company expects to achieve constitute forward-looking information.
As noted below, there are many uncertainties involved in the Year 2000 issue,
including the extent to which the Company will be able to adequately provide for
contingencies that may arise, as well as the broader scope of the Year 2000
issue as it may affect third parties and the Company's business partners.
Accordingly, the costs and results of the Company's Year 2000 program and the
extent of any impact on the Company's results of operations could vary
materially from that stated herein.

     A significant percentage of the software that runs most computers relies on
two-digit date codes to perform computations and decision-making functions.
Commencing on January 1, 2000, these computer programs may fail from an
inability to interpret date codes properly, misinterpreting "00" as the year
1900 rather than 2000. The Company believes it has completed the identification
of all necessary internal software changes required due to the Year 2000 issue.
During fiscal year 1998, the Company appointed an internal Year 2000 project
manager and remediation team and adopted a four phase approach of assessment,
remediation, testing, and contingency planning. The scope of the project
included all internal software, hardware, operating systems, and assessment of
risk to the business from vendors and other partners' Year 2000 issues. The
assessment of all internal systems, the remediation and testing phases are
complete. Contingency planning for certain information technology systems and
business processes has been completed.

     The Company has utilized internal and external resources to correct,
replace, and test its software and equipment for Year 2000 compliance. As of
August 31, 1999, the Company completed substantially all

                                       18
<PAGE>

reprogramming required to permit the proper functioning of all-internal computer
systems and equipment, including the testing of such systems and equipment that
will be operational on December 31, 1999. The total cost of the Year 2000
project is estimated at $6.2 million. Of that cost, approximately $2.5 million
represents the purchase of new software and hardware, which will be capitalized.
The remaining costs were or will be expensed as incurred during fiscal 1998 and
1999. As of October 9, 1999, the Company has spent approximately $4.7 million on
the Year 2000 project.

     The Company's Year 2000 program is designed to minimize the possibility of
serious Year 2000 interruptions. Possible Year 2000 worst case scenarios include
the interruption of significant parts of the Company's business as a result of
critical information systems failure or the failure of vendors, distributors or
service providers. Since these possibilities cannot be eliminated, ongoing
communications have been established with almost all vendors and other partners
to monitor their progress in resolving Year 2000 issues, most of which the
Company believes are making substantial progress. However, the Company cannot
guarantee Year 2000 related systems issues of its business partners will be
corrected in a timely manner or that the failure of its business partners to
correct these issues would not have a material adverse effect.

     The Company has developed contingency plans in the event a business
interruption caused by Year 2000 problems should occur. For certain information
technology systems and business functions, contingency plans are in place.
Elements of the Company's contingency plans include switching of vendors,
back-up systems that do not rely on computers, and the stockpiling of certain
products in the months before the Year 2000.

     The cost and time estimated for the Year 2000 project are based on the
Company's best estimates. There can be no guarantee these estimates will be
achieved or planned results will be achieved. Risks factors include, but are not
limited to, the retention of internal and external resources dedicated to the
project, the timely delivery of software corrections from external vendors, and
the successful completion of key business partners' Year 2000 projects.
