Our
Company

We are the leading replacement tire distributor in the United States, providing a critical range of services to
enable tire retailers to effectively service and grow sales to consumers. Through our network of 88 distribution centers, we offer access to an extensive breadth and depth of inventory, representing approximately 40,000 stock-keeping units (SKUs) to
approximately 50,000 customers. The critical range of services we provide includes frequent and timely delivery of inventory as well as business support services such as credit, training, access to consumer market data and the administration of tire
manufacturer affiliate programs. In addition, our customers have access to a leading online ordering and reporting system as well as a website that enables our tire retailer customers to participate in the Internet marketing of tires to consumers.
We estimate that our share of the replacement passenger and light truck tire market in the United States (U.S.) is approximately 9%, up from approximately 1% in 1996, with our largest customer and top ten customers accounting for less than 1.9% and
8.0%, respectively, of our net sales in fiscal 2010.

We believe we distribute the broadest product offering in our industry,
supplying our customers with the top ten leading passenger and light truck tire brands. We carry the flag brands from each of the four largest tire manufacturersBridgestone, Continental, Goodyear,and Michelinas well
as the Hankook, Kumho, Nexen, Nittoand Pirellibrands. We also sell lower price point associate and proprietary brands of these and many other tire manufacturers. In addition, we sell custom wheels and accessories and related tire
supplies and tools. We believe our large, diverse product offering allows us to better penetrate the replacement tire market across a broad range of price points.

On May 28, 2010, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 20, 2010, we were acquired by affiliates of TPG Capital, L.P. (TPG) for an aggregate purchase price valued at
$1,287.5 million. As a result, Holdings became a wholly-owned subsidiary of TPG. The merger was financed by $635 million in aggregate principle of debt financing as well as common equity capital. In connection with the merger, we tendered our
existing outstanding debt which was subsequently purchased and retired. See Note 3 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Our Industry

The U.S. replacement tire market generated annual retail
sales of approximately $32.1 billion in 2010, according to Modern Tire Dealer.In 2010, passenger tires, medium truck tires and light truck tires accounted for 67.9%, 15.9% and 13.4%, respectively, of the U.S. replacement tire market. Farm,
specialty and other types of tires accounted for the remaining 2.8%. In 2010, according to Tire Review,tire retailers obtained 63% of their tire volume from wholesale tire distributors, like us, and 30% of their tire volume from tire
manufacturers.

In the U.S., replacement tires are sold to consumers through several different channels, including local,
regional and national independent tire retailers, mass merchandisers, warehouse clubs, tire manufacturer-owned stores, automotive dealerships, service stations and web-based marketers. Between 1990 and 2010, independent tire retailers and automotive
dealerships have enjoyed the largest increase in market share, according to Modern Tire Dealer, moving from 54.0% to 60.0% and 1.0% to 6.0% of the market, respectively.

##### Table of Contents

The U.S. replacement tire market has historically experienced stable growth and favorable
pricing dynamics. From 1955 through 2010, U.S. replacement tire unit shipments increased by an average of approximately 2.8% per year. However, during challenging economic periods, consumers may opt to defer replacement tire purchases or
purchase less costly brand tires. Since the onset of the economic downturn in 2008, we have seen increased economic uncertainly, unemployment and rising fuel prices. As a result, the tire replacement market experienced negative growth during 2008
and 2009. During 2010, the negative growth trend ended as U.S. replacement tire unit shipments increased 7.8% over 2009.

Going forward, we believe growth in the U.S. replacement tire market will continue to be driven by favorable underlying dynamics,
including:



| |  |  | increases in the number and average age of passenger cars and light trucks;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | increases in the number of miles driven;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------



| |  |  | increases in the number of licensed drivers as the U.S. population continues to grow;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | increases in the number of replacement tire SKUs;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | growth of the high performance tire segment; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | shortening tire replacement cycles due to changes in product mix that increasingly favor high performance tires, which have shorter average lives.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our Business Strategy

Our objective is to be the largest distributor of replacement tires to local, regional and national independent U.S. tire retailers, as well as automotive dealerships, service stations and mass
merchandisers, to drive above-market growth and further enhance profitability and cash flow. We intend to accomplish this objective by executing the following key operating strategies:

Leverage Our Infrastructure in Existing Markets.Through infrastructure expansions over the past several years, we have developed
a scalable platform with available incremental distribution capacity. Our distribution infrastructure enables us to efficiently add new customers and service growing channels, such as automotive dealerships, thereby increasing profitability by
leveraging the utilization of our existing assets. We believe our relative penetration in existing markets is largely a function of the services we offer and the length of time we have operated locally. Specifically, in new markets, we have
experienced growth in market share over time, and in states we have served the longest, we generally have market share well in excess of our national average.

Maintain a Comprehensive and Deep Tire Portfolio to Meet Our Customers Needs.We provide a broad range of products covering all price points from entry-level to faster growing high and
ultra-high performance tires, through a full suite of flag, associate and proprietary brand tires. We will continue to focus on high and ultra-high performance tires, given the growth in demand for such tires, while maintaining our emphasis on
providing broad market and entry level tire offerings. Our comprehensive tire portfolio is designed to satisfy all of our customers needs and allow us to become the supplier of choice, thereby increasing customer penetration and retention.

Utilize Technology Platform to Continue to Increase Distribution Efficiency.We intend to continue to invest in
our inventory and warehouse management systems and logistics technology in order to further increase our efficiency and profit margins and improve customer service. We continue to evaluate and incorporate technical solutions including our current
roll out of handheld scanning for receiving, picking and delivery of products to our customers. We believe these increased efficiencies will continue to enhance our reputation with our customers for providing a high level of prompt customer service,
while also reducing costs.

Continue to Expand in Existing and New Geographic Markets.While we have the largest
distribution footprint in the U.S. replacement tire market, we have limited or no market presence in 14 of the contiguous

##### Table of Contents

United States that represent approximately 25% of the replacement tire market. We intend to expand in previously unserved geographic markets as well as in existing markets by opening new
distribution centers and opportunistic acquisitions. During 2010, we opened new distribution centers in both Cincinnati and Indianapolis, followed by Chicago, Detroit and Seattle during January 2011. Our acquisition strategy allows us to increase
our share in existing markets and add distribution in new markets, utilizing our scale to realize cost savings. Over the past seven years, we have successfully acquired and integrated twelve businesses representing in excess of $750 million in
annual net sales. We believe our position as the leading replacement tire distributor in the United States, combined with our access to capital and our scalable platform, allows us to make acquisitions at attractive post-synergy valuations.

Expand Penetration of the Emerging Automotive Dealership Channel.Automotive dealerships are focused on growing their
service business in an effort to expand profitability, and we believe they view having replacement tire capabilities as an important service element. Between 1990 and 2010, automotive dealerships have enjoyed a large increase in market share,
according to Modern Tire Dealer, moving from 1.0% of the U.S. replacement tire market to 6.0% of the market. During 2010, we began to train and deploy sales personnel to help build our sales at these accounts. In addition, we continue to
strengthen and expand our relationships with the automobile manufacturers to further grow our share of tire sales to their dealerships.

Grow TireBuyer.com® into a Premier Internet Tire Provider.TireBuyer.com® is an Internet site that enables our local independent tire retailer customers to connect
with consumers and sell to them over the Internet. TireBuyer.com® allows our broad base of independent tire
retailer customers to participate in a greater share of the growing Internet tire market. We believe that
TireBuyer.com® complements and services our participating local independent tire retailers by providing them
access to a sales and marketing channel previously unavailable to them. Since launching TireBuyer.com® in late
2009, we have continued to enhance the online consumer experience and have seen increased consumer traffic on the site.

Our Competitive
Strengths

We believe the following key strengths position us well to maintain our ability to achieve revenue growth that
exceeds that of the U.S. replacement tire industry:

Leading Position in a Highly-Fragmented Marketplace.We are the
leading replacement tire distributor in the United States with an estimated market share of approximately 9%. We believe our scale provides us key competitive advantages relative to our smaller, and generally regionally-focused, competitors. These
include the ability to: efficiently stock and deliver a wide variety of tires, custom wheels, tire supplies, tools and accessories; invest in services, including sales tools and technologies, to support our customers; and realize operating
efficiencies from our scalable infrastructure. We believe our leading market position, combined with our commitment to distribution, as opposed to the retail operations engaged in by our customers, enhances our ability to expand our sales footprint
cost effectively both in our existing markets and in new domestic geographic markets.

Extensive and Efficient Distribution
Network.We believe we have the largest independent replacement tire distribution network in the United States with 88 distribution centers and approximately 775 delivery vehicles serving 40 states. Our extensive distribution footprint, combined
with our sophisticated inventory management and logistics technologies, enables us to deliver the vast majority of orders on a same or next day basis, which is critical for tire retailers who are typically limited by physical inventory capacity and
working capital constraints. Our delivery technologies allow us to more effectively and efficiently organize and optimize our route systems to provide timely product delivery. Our Oracle ERP system provides a scalable platform that can support
future growth and ongoing cost reduction initiatives, including warehouse and truck management systems, which we believe will allow us to continue reducing warehouse and delivery costs per unit.

Broad Product Offering from Diverse Supplier Base.We believe we offer the most comprehensive selection of tires in the industry
through a diverse group of suppliers. We supply the top ten leading passenger tire brands,

##### Table of Contents

and we carry the flag brands from each of the four largest tire manufacturersBridgestone, Continental, Goodyear and Michelinas well as the Hankook,
Kumho, Nexen, Nitto and Pirelli brands. Our tire product line includes a full suite of flag, associate and proprietary brand tires, allowing us to service a broad range of price points from entry level to the faster
growing ultra-high performance category. In addition to tires, we also offer custom wheels and accessories and related tire supplies and tools. We believe that our broad product offering drives penetration among existing customers, attracts new
customers and maximizes customer retention.

Broad Range of Critical Services.We provide a
critical range of services which enable our tire retailer customers to operate their businesses more profitably. These services include convenient access to and timely delivery of the broadest product offerings available in the industry, as well as
fundamental business support services, such as credit, training and access to consumer market data, that enable our tire retailer customers to better service their individual markets, and administration of tire manufacturer affiliate programs. We
provide our customers with convenient 24/7 access to our extensive product offerings through our innovative and proprietary business-to-business web portal, ATDOnline®. Our online services also include
TireBuyer.com®, which was launched in late 2009 to allow our local independent tire retailer customers to
participate in the Internet marketing of tires to consumers. We also provide select, qualified independent tire retailers with the opportunity to participate in our Tire Pros® franchise program through which they receive advertising and marketing support and the benefits of a national brand identity.

Diversified Customer Base and Longstanding Customer Relationships.We serve a highly diversified customer base comprised of local,
regional and national independent tire retailers, automotive dealerships, tire manufacturer-owned stores, mass merchandisers and service stations. In fiscal 2010, our largest customer and our top ten customers accounted for less than 1.9% and 8.0%,
respectively, of our net sales. We believe we are a top supplier to many of our customers and maintain customer relationships that exceed a decade on average for our top 20 customers. We believe the diversity of our customer base and the strength of
our customer relationships present an opportunity to grow market share regardless of macroeconomic and replacement tire market conditions.

Consistent Financial Performance and Strong Cash Flow Generation.Our financial performance has benefited from substantial growth that has been achieved based on a combination of organic
initiatives and acquisitions. In addition, the low capital intensity of our business combined with the efficient management of our working capital, due to our advanced inventory management systems and close vendor relationships, enable us to
generate strong cash flow from operations.

Experienced Management Team Supported by Strong Equity Sponsorship.Our
senior management team, led by our President and CEO William E. Berry, has an average of over 22 years of experience in the replacement tire distribution industry. Management has a proven track record of implementing successful initiatives in a
leverage environment, including the execution of a disciplined acquisition strategy, which has contributed to our gross profit expansion and above-market net sales growth. In addition, we have reduced costs through the integration of operating
systems and introduction of standard operating practices across all locations, resulting in improved operating efficiencies, reduced headcount and improved operating profit at existing and acquired locations. We also benefit from the extensive
management and business experience provided by our Sponsor, TPG.

We provide our customers with a complete package of tires, tire supplies and tools as well as custom wheels and accessories. During 2010,
tire sales accounted for 94.6% of our combined net sales. Tire supplies, tools and custom wheels and accessories represented approximately 3.7% of our combined net sales. In the third quarter of 2010, we made the decision to discontinue selling
certain products within our equipment product offering by the end of the year. These products accounted for 1.7% of our combined net sales.

Tires

We sell a broad selection of well-known flag as well as lower price point associate and proprietary brand tires. We believe our large, diverse product offering allows us to service the broad range of
price points in the replacement tire market. Sales of passenger and light truck tires accounted for 82.9% of our combined net sales in fiscal 2010. The remainder of our tire sales were for medium trucks, farm vehicles and other specialty tires.

Flag brands.Flag brands, which have the greatest brand recognition as a result of both strong sales and strong
marketing support from tire manufacturers, are generally premium-quality and premium-priced offerings. The flag brands that we sell have high consumer recognition and generate higher per-tire profit than associate or proprietary brands. We carry the
flag brands from each of the four largest tire manufacturersBridgestone, Continental, Goodyearand Michelinas well as the Hankook, Kumho, Nexen, Nittoand Pirellibrands. Within our flag brand product
portfolio, we also carry high and ultra-high performance tires.

Associate brands.Associate brands
are primarily lower-priced tires manufactured by well-known manufacturers. Our associate brands, such as
Fusion®and Riken®,allow us to offer tires in a wider price range. In addition, associate brands are attractive to our tire retailer customers because they may count towards
various incentive programs offered by manufacturers.

Proprietary and exclusive brands.Our
Capitol®and Negotiator®brands are lower-priced tires made by tire manufacturers exclusively for, and marketed by, us for which we hold or control the trademark. These brands strengthen
our entry-level priced product offering and allow us to sell value-oriented tires to tire retailers, increasing our overall market penetration.

Custom Wheels and Accessories

Custom wheels directly complement our tire products as many custom wheel consumers purchase tires when purchasing wheels. Customers can order custom wheels from us along with their regular tire shipments
without the added complexity of being serviced by an additional vendor. We offer over 30 different wheel brands, along with installation and service accessories. Of these brands, five are proprietary: ICW® Racing, Pacer®, Drifz®, Cruiser Alloy® and O.E. Performance®. An additional four brands are exclusive to us: CX, Maas, Zora and Gear. Nationally available flag brands complement our offering with such brands as Asanti, Advanti
Racing, Cragar, Ultra, Lexani, Mickey Thompson, Konig, HRE, Lowenhart and Racinghart. Collectively, these brands represent one of the most comprehensive wheel offerings in the industry. Sourcing of product is worldwide through a number of
manufacturers.

Tire Supplies and Tools

We supply our customers with a wide array of tire supplies and tools which enable them to better service their customers as well as help them become a more profitable business. Our tire supplies and tools
are the most popular brand names from leading manufacturers. These products broaden our portfolio and leverage our customer relationships.

Distribution System

We
have designed our distribution system to deliver products from a wide variety of tire manufacturers to our tire retailer customers. In recent years, tire manufacturers have reduced the number of tire retailers they service directly and tire
retailers have reduced the inventory they hold. At the same time, the depth and breadth of replacement SKUs has continued to expand. According to the Tire and Rim Association, the number of specific tire sizes and dimensions (that each brand covers
either entirely or selectively) has increased from 213 in 2000 to 324 in 2009. As a result of these changes, tire retailers have increasingly relied on us and we have become a more critical link in enabling tire retailers to more efficiently manage
their business.

We utilize a sophisticated inventory and delivery system to distribute
our products to most customers on a same or next day basis. In our distribution centers, we use sophisticated bin locator systems, material handling equipment and routing software that link customer orders to our inventory and delivery routes. We
believe this distribution system, which is integrated with our innovative and proprietary business-to-business
ATDOnline® ordering and reporting system, provides us a competitive advantage by allowing us to ship customer
orders quickly and efficiently while also reducing labor costs. Our logistics and routing technology uses third-party software packages and GPS systems, including dynamic routing and Roadnet 5000, to optimize route design and delivery capacity.
Coupled with our fleet of approximately 775 delivery vehicles, this technology enables us to cost effectively make multiple daily or weekly shipments to customers as necessary. With this distribution infrastructure, we were able to deliver the vast
majority of our customers orders on a same or next day basis during fiscal 2010.

Approximately 80% of our tire
purchases are shipped directly by tire manufacturers to our distribution centers. The remainder is shipped by manufacturers to our redistribution centers located in Maiden, North Carolina and Bakersfield, California. These redistribution centers
warehouse slower-moving and foreign-manufactured products, which are forwarded to our distribution centers as needed.

Marketing and
Customer Service

Our marketing efforts are focused on driving growth through customer service, additional product
placement and market expansion. We provide a critical range of services which enable our tire retailer customers to operate their businesses more profitably. These services include frequent and timely delivery of inventory, as well as fundamental
business support services such as credit, training and access to customer market data which enable our tire retailer customers to better service their individual markets. In addition, we provide our customers with an online web portal with
convenient 24/7 access to our inventory, an internet site that allows our tire retailer customers to participate in the internet marketing of tires to customers as well as a franchise program where we deliver advertising and marketing support to our
tire retailer customers.

Sales Force

We have structured our sales organization to best service our existing customers and develop new prospective customers such as automotive dealerships. As the manufacturers have reduced their own sales
staffs, our sales force has assumed the consultative role manufacturers previously provided to tire retailers. Our tire sales force consists of sales personnel at each distribution center plus a sales administrative team located at our field support
center in Huntersville, North Carolina.

Sales teams, consisting of salespeople and customer service representatives, focus on
tire retailers located within the service area of the distribution center and include a combination of tire-, wheel- and supplies-focused sales personnel. Some sales personnel visit targeted customers to advance our business opportunities and those
of our customers, while other sales personnel remain at our facility, making client contact by telephone to advance specific products or programs. Customer service representatives manage incoming calls from customers and provide assistance with
order placement, inventory inquiries and general customer support.

The Huntersville-based sales
administrative team directs sales personnel at the distribution centers and manages our corporate account customers, including large national and regional retail tire and service companies. This sales administrative team also manages our
Huntersville-based call center, which provides call management assistance to the distribution centers during peak times of the day, thereby minimizing customer wait time, and also provides support upon any disruption in a distribution centers
local telephone service. This team also serves as the primary point of contact for product and technical inquiries from TireBuyer.com® shoppers.

Our aftermarket wheel sales
group employs sales and technical support personnel in the field and performance specialists in each region. This sales groups responsibilities include cultivating new prospective

wheel and supplies customers and coordinating with tire sales professionals to cover existing accounts. The technical support professionals provide answers to customer questions regarding wheel
style and fitment and supplies.

Automotive dealerships are focused on growing their service business in an effort to expand
profitability, and we believe they view having replacement tire capabilities as an important service element. Between 1990 and 2010, automotive dealerships have enjoyed a large increase in market share according to Modern Tire Dealer, moving
from 1.0% of the U.S. replacement tire market to 6.0% of the market. During 2010 we began hiring, training and deploying sales personnel to help build our sales in the emerging automotive dealership channel. Additionally, this sales force works to
strengthen and expand our relationships with the automobile manufacturers.

ATDOnline® and TireBuyer.com®

ATDOnline® provides our customers with web-based online ordering and 24/7 access to our inventory availability and pricing.
Orders are processed automatically and printed in the appropriate distribution center within minutes of entry through
ATDOnline®. Our customers are able to track expected deliveries and retrieve copies of their signed delivery
receipts. ATDOnline® also allows customers to track account balances and participation in tire manufacturer
incentive programs. We have encouraged our customers to use this system because it represents a more efficient method of order entry and information access than traditional order systems. In fiscal 2010, approximately 64% of our total order volume
was ordered through ATDOnline®, up from 56% in fiscal 2007.

TireBuyer.com® is an Internet site that enables our local independent tire retailer customers to connect with consumers and sell to them over the Internet. Consumers using
TireBuyer.com® choose to buy from a select, qualified independent tire retailer participating in our
TireBuyer.com® program. We then distribute the purchased products to the selected tire retailer for local
installation. The tire retailer receives the full revenue of the transaction, less any applicable processing fees, upon product installation. We employ a third-party provider to handle the online billing and payment process. We do not handle
customers credit card or other sensitive information.

We account for revenues from TireBuyer.com® in the same manner as other orders received from tire retailer customers. The TireBuyer.com® transaction structure allows us to retain our distribution focus, while strengthening our relationship with our tire
retailer customers by providing them access to a sales and marketing channel previously unavailable to them. Since launching TireBuyer.com® in late 2009, we have continued to enhance the online consumer experience and have seen increased consumer traffic on the site.

Tire Retailer Programs

Through our Tire Pros® franchise program we deliver advertising and
marketing support to tire retailer customers operating as Tire Pros® franchisees. Local independent tire
retailers participating in this franchise program enjoy the benefits of a national brand identity with minimal investment, while still maintaining their local identity. We anticipate increasing volume penetration among, and further aligning
ourselves with, franchisees.

Individual manufacturers offer a variety of programs for tire retailers that
sell their products, such as Bridgestones TireStarz, Continentals Gold, Goodyears G3X, Kumhos Fueland Michelins Alliance.These programs, which are relatively complex, provide cooperative advertising funds,
volume discounts and other incentives. As part of our service to our customers, we assist in the administration of managing these programs for the manufacturers and enhance these programs through dedicated staff to assist tire retailers in managing
their participation. We believe these enhancements, combined with other aspects of our customer service, provide significant value to our customers.

##### Table of Contents

We also offer our tire retailer customers ATDServiceBAY®, which makes available a comprehensive suite of benefits including nationwide tire and service warranties (through
third-party warranty providers), a nationally accepted, private-label credit card (through GE Capital), access to consumer market data and training and marketing programs to provide our tire retailer customers with the support and service that are
critical to succeed in todays increasingly competitive marketplace.

Customers

We serve a highly diversified customer base comprised of local, regional and national independent tire retailers, automotive dealerships,
tire manufacturer-owned stores, mass merchandisers and service stations. During fiscal 2010, we sold to approximately 50,000 customers in 40 states, principally located in the Southeastern and Mid-Atlantic regions, as well as portions of the
Northeast, Midwest, Southwest and the West Coast of the United States. In fiscal 2010, our largest customer and our top ten customers accounted for less than 1.9% and 8.0%, respectively, of our combined net sales. We believe we are a top supplier to
many of our customers and maintain customer relationships that exceed a decade on average for our top 20 customers.

Automotive dealerships are focused on growing their service business in an effort to expand profitability, and we believe they view
having replacement tire capabilities as an important service element. Between 1990 and 2010, automotive dealerships have enjoyed a large increase in market share according to Modern Tire Dealer, moving from 1.0% of the U.S. replacement tire
market to 6.0% of the market.

Suppliers

We purchase our tires from several sources, including the four largest tire manufacturers, Bridgestone, Continental, Goodyear and Michelin, from whom we bought 55.0% of our tire products in
fiscal 2010. In general, we do not have long-term supply agreements with tire manufacturers, instead relying on oral arrangements or written agreements that are renegotiated annually and can be terminated on short notice. However, we have conducted
business with many of our major tire suppliers for over 20 years, and we believe that we have good relationships with all of our major suppliers. In recent years, tire manufacturers have reduced the number of tire retailers they service directly. As
a result of this change, tire retailers have increasingly relied on us, and we have become a more critical link between manufacturers and tire retailers.

There are a number of worldwide manufacturers of wheels and other automotive products. Most of the wheels we purchase are proprietary brands, namely,
Pacer®, Cruiser Alloy®, Drifz®, O.E. Performance® and ICW® Racing, and are produced by a variety of manufacturers.

Competition

The U.S.
tire distribution industry is highly competitive and fragmented. In the United States, replacement tires are sold to consumers through several different outlets, including local, regional and national independent tire retailers, mass merchandisers,
warehouse clubs, tire manufacturer-owned stores, automotive dealerships, service stations and web-based marketers. We compete with a number of tire distributors on a regional basis. Our main competitors include TBC/Treadways Wholesale (owned by
Sumitomo), which has retail operations that compete with its distribution customers, and TCI Tire Centers. In the automotive dealership channel, our principal competitor is Dealer Tire, which is focused principally on administering replacement tire
programs for selected automobile manufacturers dealerships. In the online channel, our principal competitor is Tire Rack, which is principally focused on high and ultra-high performance offerings, acting as both a retailer and a wholesaler. We
face competition from smaller regional companies and would be adversely affected if mass merchandisers and warehouse clubs gained market share from local independent tire retailers, as our market share in those channels is lower.

Information Systems

Through infrastructure expansions over the past several years, we have developed a scalable platform with incremental capacity available. We are currently finishing the implementation of an Oracle ERP
system that supports future growth and ongoing cost reduction initiatives, including warehouse and truck management systems, which we believe will allow us to continue reducing warehouse and delivery costs per unit. The ERP implementation, which is
nearing completion, has basically replaced our legacy computer system. We continue to evaluate and incorporate technical solutions such as handheld scanning for receiving, picking and delivery of product to our customers.

Trademarks

The proprietary brand names under which we market our products are trademarks of our company. We value our brand names because they help develop brand identification. All of our trademarks are of
perpetual duration as long as they are periodically renewed. We currently intend to maintain all of them in force. The principal proprietary brand names under which we market our products are:
DYNATRAC® tires, CRUISERALLOY® custom wheels, DRIFZ® custom
wheels, ICW® custom wheels, PACER® custom wheels, O.E.
PERFORMANCE® custom wheels and MAGNUM® automotive lifts. Our other trademarks include: AMERICAN TIRE DISTRIBUTORS®, ATDONLINE®, ATDSERVICEBAY®, WHEEL WIZARD®, ENVIZIO®, WHEEL WIZARD
ENVIZIO®, WHEELENVIZIO.COM®, XPRESSPERFORMANCE®,
TIREBUYER.COM® AND TIRE PROS®.

Seasonality

Although the effects of seasonality are not significant to our business, we have historically experienced an increase in net sales in the
second and third fiscal quarters and an increase in working capital in the first fiscal quarter.

Environmental Matters

Our operations and properties are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the use, storage, handling,
generation, transportation, treatment, emission, release, discharge and disposal of hazardous materials, substances and waste as well as relating to the investigation and clean-up of contaminated properties, including off-site disposal locations. We
do not incur significant costs complying with environmental laws and regulations. However, we could be subject to material environmental costs, liabilities or claims in the future, especially in the event of the adoption of new environmental laws or
changes in existing laws and regulations or in their interpretation.

Employees

As of January 1, 2011, our operations employed approximately 2,500 people. None of our employees are represented by a union. We
believe our employee relations are satisfactory.

Inventory Control

We believe that we maintain levels of inventory that are adequate to meet our customers needs on a same day or next day basis. Since
customers look to us to fulfill their needs on short notice, inventory levels are a primary focus of our business model. As a result, backlog of orders is not considered material to, or a significant factor in, evaluating and understanding our
business. Our inventory levels are determined using sales data derived from distribution centers (on a combined basis, an individual basis or by geographic region) as well as from vendors who supply the distribution centers and retail customer
stores that are served by the distribution center. All distribution centers stock a base inventory and may expand beyond preset inventory levels as deemed appropriate by their general managers. Computer systems monitor inventory levels for all stock
items and quantities are periodically re-balanced from center-to-center.

|Item 1A. | Risk Factors.
|-------- | -------------

You should carefully consider the risks described below when evaluating our business and operations. The risks described below could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or
results of operations.

Risks Relating to Our Business

Demand for tire products is lower when general economic conditions are weak. Decreases in the availability of consumer credit or consumer spending could adversely affect our business, results of
operations or cash flows.

The popularity, supply and demand for tire products changes from year to year based on
consumer confidence, the volume of tires reaching the replacement tire market and the level of personal discretionary income, among other factors. Decreases in the availability of consumer credit or decreases in consumer spending as a result of
recent economic conditions, including increased unemployment and rising fuel prices, may cause consumers to delay tire purchases, reduce spending on tires or purchase less expensive tires. These changes in consumer behavior could reduce the number
of tires we sell, reduce our net sales or cause a change in our product mix toward products with lower per-tire margins, any of which could adversely affect our business, results of operations or cash flows.

Local economic, employment, weather, transportation and other conditions also affect tire sales, on both a wholesale and retail basis.
Such fluctuations have been exacerbated by the current economic downturn. We cannot, as a result of these factors and others, assure you that our business will continue to generate sufficient cash flows to finance or grow our business or that our
cash needs will not increase. For instance, in 2008, rising fuel costs, increased unemployment and tightening credit caused a decrease in miles driven and consumer spending, both of which we believe caused a decrease in unit sales in the U.S.
replacement tire industry. Similarly, industry-wide unit sales decreased in 2006 primarily due to increases in, and consumer expectations about future increases in, interest rates, minimum credit card payments and fuel costs. Our business was
adversely affected as a result of these industry-wide events and we may be adversely affected by similar events in the future.

Our
substantial indebtedness could adversely affect our financial condition and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations under our notes and our other indebtedness.

We have a substantial amount of debt, which requires significant interest and principal payments. As of January 1, 2011, we had approximately $652.5 million of total indebtedness outstanding. Subject
to the limits



11

##### Table of Contents

contained in our ABL Facility, the indenture governing our Senior Secured Notes, the indenture governing our Senior Subordinated Notes and our other debt instruments, we may be able to incur
substantial additional debt from time to time to finance working capital, capital expenditures, investments or acquisitions, or for other purposes. If we do so, the risks related to our high level of debt will intensify.

Specifically, our high level of debt could have important consequences to the holders of our notes, including the following:



| |  |  | making it more difficult to satisfy our obligations with respect to our notes and our other debt. Any failure to comply with the obligations under any
of our debt instruments, including restrictive covenants, could result in a default under the indenture governing our notes and the agreements governing our other debt;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | limiting our ability to obtain additional financing to fund future working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate
requirements;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | requiring a substantial portion of our cash flows to be dedicated to debt service payments instead of other purposes, thereby reducing the amount of
cash flows available for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and general corporate requirements;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | exposing us to the risk of increased interest rates as a significant amount of our borrowings are at variable rates of interest, including borrowings
under our ABL Facility;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | limiting our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in the industry in which we compete;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | placing us at a disadvantage compared to other, less leveraged competitors;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | increasing our cost of borrowing; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------



| |  |  | preventing us from raising the funds necessary to repurchase all notes tendered to us upon the occurrence of certain changes of control, which would
constitute an event of default under the indenture governing our notes.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, the indentures that
govern our notes and our ABL Facility contain restrictive covenants that limit our ability to engage in activities that may be in our long term best interests. Our failure to comply with those covenants could result in an event of default which, if
not cured or waived, could result in the acceleration of all our debt.

Our business requires a significant amount of cash, and
fluctuations in our cash flows may adversely affect our ability to fund our business or acquisitions or satisfy our debt obligations.

Our ability to fund working capital needs and planned capital expenditures and acquisitions and our ability to satisfy our debt obligations depend on our ability to generate cash flows. If we are unable
to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet these needs, we may need to refinance all or a portion of our existing debt, obtain additional financing or reduce expenditures that we deem necessary to our business. Further, our ability to
grow our business and market share through acquisitions may be impaired. We cannot assure you that we would be able to obtain refinancing of this kind on favorable terms or at all or that any additional financing could be obtained. The inability to
obtain additional financing could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and cash flows.

The industry in
which we operate is highly competitive and our failure to effectively compete may adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

The industry in which we operate is highly competitive. In the United States, replacement tires are sold to consumers through several different outlets, including local independent tire retailers and mass
merchandisers,



12



---

##### Table of Contents

warehouse clubs, tire manufacturer-owned stores, automotive dealerships, service stations and web-based marketers. A number of independent wholesale tire distributors compete with us in the
regions in which we do business. Most of our tire retailer customers buy products from both us and our competitors. We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete successfully in our markets in the future. Furthermore, some of our competitors,
including mass merchandisers, warehouse clubs and tire manufacturers, are significantly better financed than us and have greater resources. See Item 1 BusinessCompetition.

We would also be adversely affected if certain channels in the replacement tire market, including mass merchandisers and warehouse clubs,
gain market share at the expense of the local independent tire retailers, as our market share in those channels is lower.

We depend on
manufacturers to provide us with the products we sell and disruptions in these relationships or manufacturers operations could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

There are a limited number of tire manufacturers worldwide. Accordingly, we rely on a limited number of tire manufacturers to supply us
with the products we sell, including flag and associate brands and our proprietary brands. Our business depends on developing and maintaining productive relationships with these manufacturers. Outside of our proprietary brands, we do not have
long-term contracts with these manufacturers, and we cannot assure you that these manufacturers will continue to supply products to us on favorable terms or at all. Many of our supplier manufacturers are free to terminate their business relationship
with us with little or no notice and may elect to do so for any reason or no reason. Further, certain of our key suppliers also compete with us as they distribute and sell tires to certain of our tire retailer customers. A move towards this business
model among our supplier manufacturers could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

In addition, our growth strategy depends in part on our ability to make selective acquisitions, but manufacturers may not be willing to
supply the companies we acquire, which could adversely affect our business and results of operations. Furthermore, we could be adversely affected if any significant manufacturer experiences financial, operational, production, supply, labor or
quality assurance difficulties that result in a reduction or interruption in our supply, or if they otherwise fail to meet our needs. These risks have been more pronounced recently in light of the economic downturn, commodity price volatility and
governmental actions. In addition, our failure to order or promptly pay for sufficient quantities of our products may result in an increase in the unit cost of the products we purchase, a reduction in cooperative advertising and marketing funds, or
a manufacturers unwillingness or refusal to sell products to us. If we are required to replace our manufacturers, we could experience cost increases, time delays in deliveries and a loss of customers, any of which would adversely affect us.
Finally, although most newly manufactured tires are sold in the replacement tire market, manufacturers pay disproportionate attention to automobile manufacturers that purchase tires for new cars. Increased demand from automobile manufacturers could
result in cost increases and time delays in deliveries to us, any of which could adversely affect us.

We are reliant upon information
technology in the operation of our business.

We rely on electronic information and telephony systems to support all
aspects of our geographically diverse business operations, including our inventory control, distribution network and order placement and fulfillment. A prolonged interruption or failure of any of these systems or their connective networks could have
a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Pricing volatility for raw
materials could result in increased costs and may affect our profitability.

Costs for certain raw materials used in
manufacturing the products we sell, including natural rubber, chemicals, steel reinforcements, carbon black, synthetic rubber and other petroleum-based products are volatile. Increasing costs for raw materials supplies would result in increased
production costs for tire manufacturers. Tire manufacturers typically pass along a portion of their increased costs to us through price increases. While we



13

##### Table of Contents

typically try to pass increased prices and fuel costs through to tire retailers or to modify our activities to mitigate the impact of higher prices, we may not be successful. Failure to fully
pass these increased prices and costs through to tire retailers or to modify our activities to mitigate the impact would adversely affect our operating margins and results of operations. Further, even if we do successfully pass along these costs,
demand for tires may decline as a result of the increased costs, which would adversely affect us.

We may be unable to identify
desirable acquisition targets or future acquisitions may not be successful.

We plan to investigate and acquire
strategic businesses or product lines with the potential to be accretive to earnings, increase our market penetration, strengthen our market position or enhance our existing product offering. We cannot assure you, however, that we will identify or
successfully complete transactions with suitable acquisition candidates in the future. A failure to identify and acquire desirable acquisition targets may slow growth in our annual unit volume, which could adversely affect our existing business,
financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

We also cannot assure you that completed acquisitions will be
successful. If an acquired business fails to operate as anticipated or cannot be successfully integrated with our existing business, our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could be adversely affected.

Future acquisitions could require us to issue additional debt or equity.

If we were to undertake a substantial acquisition, the acquisition would likely need to be financed in part through additional financing
from banks, through public offerings or private placements of debt or equity securities or other arrangements. We cannot assure you that the necessary acquisition financing would be available to us on acceptable terms if and when required,
particularly because we are currently highly leveraged, which may make it difficult or impossible for us to secure financing for acquisitions. If we were to undertake an acquisition by issuing equity securities or equity-linked securities, the
acquisition may have a dilutive effect on the interests of the holders of our common shares. If we were to undertake an acquisition by incurring additional debt, the risks associated with our already substantial level of indebtedness could
intensify.

Attempts to expand our distribution services into new domestic geographic markets may adversely affect our business, results
of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

We plan to expand our distribution services into new domestic
geographic markets, which will require us to make capital investments to extend and develop our distribution infrastructure. We may not achieve profitability in new regions for a period of time. If we do not successfully add new distribution centers
and routes, we experience unanticipated costs or delays or we experience competition in such markets that is greater than we expect, our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows may be adversely affected.

Our business strategy relies increasingly upon online commerce. If our customers were unable to access any of our websites,
such as ATDOnline®, our business and operations could be disrupted and our operating results would be adversely
affected.

Customers access to our websites directly affects the volume of orders we fulfill
and our revenues. Approximately 64% of our total order volume in fiscal 2010 was placed online using ATDOnline®,
up from approximately 56% in fiscal 2007. We expect our Internet-generated business to continue to grow as a percentage of overall sales. To be successful, we must ensure that ATDOnline® is well supported and functional on a 24/7 basis. If we are not able to continuously make these ordering tools available to our customers, there could be a decline in
online orders and a decrease in our net sales.

We may not successfully execute our plan to grow our TireBuyer.com® service or we may not attain the growth we expect from our TireBuyer.com® service.

In late 2009, we launched TireBuyer.com®, an Internet site which
enables our local independent tire retailer customers to access the online tire consumer market and sell tires to consumers over the Internet. We expect that by growing and developing our
TireBuyer.com® service, we can leverage our tire retailer customer footprint to capture a greater share of the
Internet tire market. For TireBuyer.com® to be successful, however, we must ensure that it is well supported and
functional on a 24/7 basis. In addition, TireBuyer.com® faces significant competition from other online
participants, some of which have significantly larger Internet market share, longer Internet market presence, greater Internet marketing experience and better name recognition than we enjoy. We may fail to successfully grow, develop or support the
TireBuyer.com® service or we may not attain the growth or benefits we expect TireBuyer.com® to provide us due to strong competition or other factors, which may adversely affect our business, financial
condition or results of operations.

Because the majority of our inventory is stored in our warehouse distribution centers, a disruption
in our warehouse distribution centers could adversely affect our results of operations by increasing our cost and distribution lead times.

We maintain the majority of our inventory in 88 distribution centers. Serious disruptions affecting these distribution centers or the flow of products in or out of these centers, including disruptions
from inclement weather, fire, earthquakes or other causes, could damage a significant portion of our inventory and could adversely affect our ability to distribute our products to tire retailers in a timely manner or at a reasonable cost. During the
time that it may take us to reopen or replace a distribution center, we could incur significantly higher costs and longer lead times associated with distributing our products to tire retailers, which could adversely affect our reputation, as well as
our results of operations and our customer relationships.

If we experience problems with our fleet of trucks or are otherwise unable to
make timely deliveries of our products to our customers, our business and reputation could be adversely affected.

We
use a fleet of trucks to deliver our products to our customers, most of which are leased from third parties. We are subject to the risks associated with product delivery, including inclement weather, disruptions in the transportation infrastructure,
disruptions in our lease arrangements, availability and price of fuel, and liabilities arising from accidents to the extent we are not covered by insurance. Our failure to deliver tires and other products in a timely and accurate manner could harm
our reputation and brand, which could adversely affect our business and reputation.

Participants in our Tire Pros® franchise program are independent operators, and we have limited influence over their operations. Our Tire Pros® franchisees could take actions that could harm the value of the Tire Pros® franchise, or could be unwilling or unable to continue to participate in the program, which could materially and
adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Participants in our Tire Pros® franchise program are independent operators and have significant discretion in running their operations. Their employees are not our employees. Franchisees could take
actions that subject them to legal and financial liabilities, and we may, regardless of the actual validity of such a claim, be named as a party in an action relating to, or be held liable for, the conduct of our franchisees if it is shown that we
exercise a sufficient level of control over a particular franchisees operation. In addition, the quality of franchise operations may be diminished by any number of factors beyond our control. We do not offer financial or management services to
our franchisees, which may not have sufficient resources or expertise to operate their businesses at the level we would expect. While we ultimately can take action to terminate franchisees that do not comply with the standards contained in our
franchise agreements, we may not be able to identify problems and take action quickly enough and, as a result, the image and reputation of Tire Pros® may suffer, fewer tire retailers may become Tire Pros® franchisees and existing participants may leave the Tire Pros® program.

In addition, our franchise agreements have limited durations and our
franchisees may not be willing or able to renew their franchise agreements with us. For example, a franchisee may decide not to renew due to a lawsuit or disagreement with us, dissatisfaction with the Tire Pros® program or a perception that the Tire Pros® program conflicts with other business interests. Similarly, a franchisee may be unable to renew its franchise agreement with us due to a bankruptcy or restructuring
event or the failure to secure a real estate lease renewal, among other factors.

Our business, business
prospects, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be adversely affected if we are forced to defend claims made against our franchisees, if others seek to hold us accountable for our franchisees actions, if the Tire
Pros® program does not grow as we expect or if the Tire Pros® franchise program is not otherwise successful.

We
could become subject to additional government regulation which could cause us to incur significant liabilities.

We are
currently subject to federal and state laws and other regulations that apply to our business, including laws and regulations that affect tire distribution and sale, safety matters and tire specifications. Our costs of complying with these laws and
regulations, including our operating expenses and liabilities arising under governmental regulations, may be increased in the future and additional fees and taxes may be imposed by governmental authorities. Future regulatory requirements, such as
required disclosure of made-on dates for tires or an expansion of the Transportation Recall Enhancement Accountability and Documentation (TREAD) Act to cover tire distributors, could cause a material increase in our liabilities or operating
expenses, which would materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Loss of
key personnel or failure to attract and retain highly qualified personnel could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

We are dependent on the continued services of our senior management team. We may not be able to retain our existing senior management, fill new positions or vacancies created by expansion or turnover, or
attract additional senior management personnel. We believe the loss of such key personnel could adversely affect our financial performance. In addition, our ability to manage our anticipated growth will depend on our ability to identify, hire and
retain qualified management personnel. We cannot assure you that we will attract and retain sufficient qualified personnel to meet our business needs.

Consolidation among customers may reduce our importance as a holder of sizable inventory, which could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Our success has been dependent, in part, on the fragmented customer base in our industry. Due to the small size of most tire retailers,
they cannot support substantial inventory positions and thus, as our size permits us to maintain a sizable inventory, we fill an important role. We do not generally have long-term arrangements with our tire retailer customers and they can cease
doing business with us at any time. If a trend towards consolidation among tire retailers develops in the future, it could reduce our importance and reduce our revenues, margins and earnings. While the local independent tire retailer share of the
replacement tire market has been relatively stable in the recent past, the share of larger tire retailers has grown at the expense of smaller tire retailers. If that trend continues, the number of tire retailers able to handle sizable inventory
could increase, reducing the importance of distributors to the local independent tire retailer market.

We could be subject to product
liability, personal injury or other litigation claims that could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Purchasers of our products, or their employees or customers, could be injured or suffer property damage from exposure to, or defects in, products we sell or distribute, or have sold or distributed in the
past. We could be



16

##### Table of Contents

subject to claims, including personal injury claims. These claims may not be covered by insurance or tire manufacturers may be unwilling or unable to assume the defense of these claims, as they
have in the past. In addition, if any tire manufacturer encounters financial difficulty or ceases to operate, it may not be able to assume the defense of such claims. We also may be subject to claims due to injuries caused by our truck drivers which
may not be covered by insurance. As a result, the defense, settlement or successful assertion of any future product liability, personal injury or other litigation claims could cause us to incur significant costs and could have an adverse effect on
our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

We could be adversely affected by compliance with environmental
regulations and could incur costs relating to environmental matters, particularly those relating to our distribution centers.

We are subject to various federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulations, as well as health and safety laws and regulations. Environmental laws are complex, change frequently and
have tended to become more stringent over time. Compliance costs associated with current and future environmental and health and safety laws, particularly as they relate to our distribution centers, as well as liabilities arising from past or future
releases of, or exposure to, hazardous substances, may adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and
financial condition.

Pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we are required to provide a report by management on
internal control over financial reporting, including managements assessment of the effectiveness of such control. Changes to our business will necessitate ongoing changes to our internal control systems and processes. Internal control over
financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements because of its inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error, the circumvention or overriding of controls or fraud. Therefore, even effective internal controls can provide
only reasonable assurance with respect to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements. If we fail to maintain adequate internal controls, including any required new or improved controls, we may be unable to provide financial
information in a timely and reliable manner and might be subject to sanctions or investigation by regulatory authorities such as the SEC or the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. Any such action could adversely affect our financial results
or investors confidence in us and could cause the price of our securities to fall.

If we determine that our goodwill and other
intangible assets have become impaired, we may record significant impairment charges, which would adversely affect our results of operations.

Goodwill and other intangible assets represent a significant portion of our assets. Goodwill is the excess of cost over the fair market value of net assets acquired in business combinations. In the
future, goodwill and intangible assets may increase as a result of future acquisitions. We review our goodwill and intangible assets at least annually for impairment. Impairment may result from, among other things, deterioration in the performance
of acquired businesses, adverse market conditions and adverse changes in applicable laws or regulations, including changes that restrict the activities of an acquired business. Any impairment of goodwill or other intangible assets would result in a
non-cash charge against earnings, which would adversely affect our results of operations. As of January 1, 2011, our total goodwill was approximately $431.1 million and our total intangible assets, net of amortization, were $754.4 million.

Affiliates of the Sponsor indirectly own substantially all our equity interests and may have conflicts of interest with us or the
holders of our notes.

As a result of the Merger, investment funds affiliated with the Sponsor indirectly own
substantially all of our capital stock, and the Sponsors designees hold a majority of the seats on our indirect parent companys board of directors. As a result, affiliates of the Sponsor will have control over our decisions to enter into
any



17

##### Table of Contents

corporate transaction and have the ability to prevent any transaction that requires the approval of stockholders regardless of whether holders of the notes believe that any such transactions are
in their own best interests. For example, affiliates of the Sponsor could collectively cause us to make acquisitions that increase the amount of our indebtedness or to sell assets, or could cause us to issue additional capital stock or declare
dividends. So long as investment funds affiliated with the Sponsor continue to indirectly own a significant amount of the outstanding shares of our capital stock, affiliates of the Sponsor will continue to be able to strongly influence or
effectively control our decisions. The indenture governing our notes and our ABL Facility permit us to pay advisory and other fees, dividends and make other restricted payments to the Sponsor under certain circumstances and our arrangements with the
Sponsor and its affiliates require us to pay certain fees on quarterly basis. See Item 13 Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions and Director Independence. In addition, the Sponsor has no obligation to provide us with
any additional debt or equity financing.

Additionally, the Sponsor is in the business of making investments in companies and
may from time to time acquire and hold interests in businesses that compete directly or indirectly with us or that supply us with goods and services. The Sponsor may also pursue acquisition opportunities that may be complementary to our business
and, as a result, those acquisition opportunities may not be available to us. You should consider that the interests of the Sponsor may differ from your interests in material respects.

Our variable rate indebtedness subjects us to interest rate risk, which could cause our indebtedness service obligations to increase significantly.

Borrowings under our ABL Facility are at variable rates of interest and expose us to interest rate risk. If interest rates increase, our
debt service obligations on the variable rate indebtedness would increase even though the amount borrowed remained the same, and our net income and cash flows, including cash available for servicing our indebtedness, would correspondingly decrease.

None.



|Item 2. | Properties.
|------- | -----------

Our principal properties are geographically situated to meet sales and operating requirements. We believe that our properties have been well maintained, are generally in good condition and are suitable
for the conduct of our business. As of January 1, 2011, we operate a total of 88 distribution centers located in 33 states, aggregating approximately 7.7 million square feet. Of these centers, two are owned by us, the remaining properties
are leased. We also lease our principal executive office, located in Huntersville, North Carolina. This lease is scheduled to expire in 2021. In addition, we have some non-essential properties, principally acquired in the Am-Pac Tire Dist., Inc.
acquisition, which we are attempting to sell or sublease.

Several of our property leases contain provisions prohibiting a
change of control of the lessee or permitting the landlord to terminate the lease or increase rent upon a change of control of the lessee. Based primarily upon our belief that (i) we maintain good relations with the substantial majority of our
landlords, (ii) most of our leases are at market rates and (iii) we have historically been able to secure suitable leased property at market rates when needed, we believe that these provisions will not have a material adverse effect on our
business or financial position.



|Item 3. | Legal Proceedings.
|------- | ------------------

We are involved from time to time in various lawsuits, including class action lawsuits arising out of the ordinary conduct of our business. Although no assurances can be given, we do not expect that any
of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition. We are also involved in various

litigation proceedings incidental to the ordinary course of our business. We believe, based on consultation with legal counsel, that none of these will have a material adverse effect on our
financial condition or results of operations.

|Item 5. | Market for Registrants Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.
|------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As of March 4, 2011, there was one holder of record of our common stock. There is no public trading
market for our common stock.

As of January 1, 2011, we have not declared or paid dividends on our common stock since our
incorporation in 2005, and we have no intention to declare or pay dividends in the foreseeable future. In addition, our ability to pay dividends is restricted by certain covenants contained in our ABL Facility and in the indentures that govern our
Senior Subordinated Notes and Senior Secured Notes and may be further restricted by any future indebtedness that we incur. Our business is conducted through our subsidiaries. Dividends from, and cash generated by, our subsidiaries will be our
principal sources of cash to repay indebtedness, fund operations and pay dividends. Accordingly, our ability to pay dividends to our stockholders is dependent on the earnings and distributions of funds from our subsidiaries. See Item 7,
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for further discussion.

Information regarding securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans is set forth in Item 12, Security
Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters of this Form 10-K.



|Item 6. | Selected Financial Data.

On May 28, 2010, as a result of the Merger, Holdings was acquired by affiliates of TPG. In the following table, periods prior to May 28, 2010 reflect the financial position, results of
operations and changes in financial position of Holdings and its consolidated subsidiaries prior to the Merger (the Predecessor). Periods after May 28, 2010 reflect the financial position, results of operations, and changes in
financial position of Holdings and its consolidated subsidiaries after the Merger (the Successor).

##### Table of Contents

The following table sets forth both the Predecessor and Successor selected historical
consolidated financial data for the periods indicated. Selected historical financial data for fiscal years 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009 and the five months ended May 28, 2010 is derived from the Predecessors consolidated financial
statements as of and for those periods. Selected historical financial data for the seven months ended January 1, 2011 is derived from the Successors consolidated financial statements as of and for that period. Both the Predecessors
and the Successors fiscal year is based on either a 52- or 53-week period ending on the Saturday closest to each December 31. Therefore, the financial results of certain fiscal years will not be exactly comparable to the prior or
subsequent fiscal years. The 2006 fiscal year, which ended December 30, 2006, the 2007 fiscal year, which ended December 29, 2007, and the 2009 fiscal year, which ended January 2, 2010, contain operating results for 52 weeks. The 2008
fiscal year, which ended January 3, 2009, contains operating results for 53 weeks. The five months ended May 28, 2010 contains operating results for 21 weeks. The seven months ended January 1, 2011 contains operating results for 31
weeks. The following selected historical consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with Item 7, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the consolidated
financial statements and the related notes included under Item 8 of this report.

|(5) | EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA as further adjusted to reflect the items set forth
in the table below. The presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with GAAP. We present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because we believe they provide a more complete understanding of the
factors and trends affecting our business than GAAP measures alone. We also believe that such measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. Our board of
directors, management and investors use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to assess our financial performance because it allows them to compare our operating performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing items that we do not believe are
indicative of our core operating performance. In addition, the indentures governing our senior notes use a measure similar to Adjusted EBITDA to measure our compliance with certain covenants. Our board of directors also uses Adjusted EBITDA in
determining compensation for our management. We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other issuers because not all issuers calculate
Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same or similar to some of the adjustments set forth below. Neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA should be
considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss) as determined in accordance with GAAP.

The following discussion and analysis of our consolidated results of operations, financial condition and liquidity should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the
related notes included in Item 8 of this report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our current expectations, estimates, forecast and projections. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of

Company Overview

We are the leading replacement tire distributor in the United States, providing a critical range of services to enable tire retailers to effectively service and grow sales to consumers. Through our
network of 88 distribution centers, we offer access to an extensive breadth and depth of inventory, representing approximately 40,000 stock-keeping units (SKUs) to approximately 50,000 customers. The critical range of services we provide includes
frequent and timely delivery of inventory as well as business support services such as credit, training, access to consumer market data and the administration of tire manufacturer affiliate programs. In addition, our customers have access to a
leading online ordering and reporting system as well as a website that enables our tire retailer customers to participate in the Internet marketing of tires to consumers. We estimate that our share of the replacement passenger and light truck tire
market in the United States (U.S.) is approximately 9%, up from approximately 1% in 1996, with our largest customer and top ten customers accounting for less than 1.9% and 8.0%, respectively, of our net sales.

We believe we distribute the broadest product offering in our industry, supplying our customers with the top ten leading passenger and
light truck tire brands. We carry the flag brands from each of the four largest tire manufacturersBridgestone, Continental, Goodyear,and Michelinas well as the Hankook, Kumho, Nexen, Nittoand Pirellibrands. We also sell lower price point associate and proprietary brands of these and many other tire manufacturers. In addition, we sell custom wheels and accessories and related tire supplies and tools. We believe our large, diverse product
offering allows us to better penetrate the replacement tire market across a broad range of price points.

Trends and Economic Events

The U.S. replacement tire market has historically experienced stable growth and favorable pricing dynamics. From 1955
through 2010, U.S. replacement tire unit shipments increased by an average of approximately 2.8% per year. However, during challenging economic periods, consumers may opt to defer replacement tire purchases or purchase less costly brand tires.
Since the onset of the economic downturn in 2008, we have seen increased economic uncertainty, increased unemployment and rising fuel prices. These factors have impacted the availability of consumer credit and have changed consumer spending of
disposable income, thus impacting our business and the industry as a whole.

During 2010, the economic environment has been
showing signs of stabilization. We have experienced modest year-over-year unit volume growth in 2010, which reflects an economy slowly reemerging from the severe economic downturn. The return to established driving habits, stable energy prices and
longer vehicle life has led to moderate growth in the U.S. replacement tire market compared with 2009.

Going forward, we
believe growth in the U.S. replacement tire market will continue to be driven by favorable underlying dynamics, including:



| |  |  | increases in the number and average age of passenger cars and light trucks;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | increases in the number of miles driven;

| |  |  | increases in the number of licensed drivers as the U.S. population continues to grow;

| |  |  | increases in the number of replacement tire SKUs;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | growth of the high performance tire segment; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | shortening tire replacement cycles due to changes in product mix that increasingly favor high performance tires, which have shorter average lives.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Despite the current market environment, we have a solid infrastructure, an extensive and efficient
distribution network and a broad product offering. Our growth strategy, coupled with our access to capital and our scalable platform, enables us to continue to expand in existing markets as well as in new geographic areas. In addition, we are
investing in technology and new sales channels which will help fuel our future growth. As a result, we believe that we are well positioned to continue to achieve above market results in both contracting and expanding market demand cycles.

Acquisition of Holdings

On May 28, 2010, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 20, 2010 (as amended and supplemented, the Merger Agreement), among Holdings, Accelerate Holdings
Corp., a Delaware corporation (the Buyer), Accelerate Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Buyer (Merger Sub), and Investcorp International, Inc., solely in its capacity as a
representative of the stockholders, optionholders and warrantholders of Holdings, Merger Sub merged with and into Holdings with Holdings being the surviving corporation (the Merger or the Acquisition). As a result of the
Merger, Holdings became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Buyer and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Accelerate Parent Corp. (Accelerate Parent), substantially all of whose outstanding capital stock is owned by investment entities
affiliated with TPG Capital, L.P. (TPG or the Sponsor). The Merger was completed on May 28, 2010. See Note 3 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

The Merger was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the accounting guidance for business
combinations and non-controlling interest. Accordingly, the purchase price of the Merger has been allocated to our assets and liabilities based upon their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. For accounting purposes, the purchase price
allocation was applied on May 28, 2010.

2010 Acquisitions

On December 10, 2010, we completed the purchase of substantially all the assets of Lisacs of Washington, Inc.
(Lisacs) pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of December 10, 2010. Lisacs operated tire distribution centers in Portland, Oregon and Spokane, Washington, serving over 1,400 customers in the

Wholesalers) pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of December 10, 2010. Tire Wholesalers operated one distribution center in Kent, Washington, which serviced over 750 customers in the area.

The aggregate purchase price of these acquisitions was approximately $11 million, which was funded through our ABL Facility. The purchase
of Lisacs and Tire Wholesalers significantly expanded our position in the Northwestern United States.

direct acquisition costs. We financed the purchase through borrowings under our revolving credit facility. This acquisition significantly strengthened our presence in markets we served and allowed us to expand our operations into St. Louis, Missouri
and western Texas.

Results of Operations

Our fiscal year is based on either a 52- or 53-week period ending on the Saturday closest to each December 31. Therefore, the financial results of certain fiscal years will not be exactly
comparable to other fiscal years. The seven months ended January 1, 2011 for the Successor contains operating results for 31 weeks and the five months ended May 28, 2010 for the Predecessor contains operating results for 21 weeks. The 2009
fiscal year for the Predecessor, which ended January 2, 2010, contains operating results for 52 weeks while, the 2008 fiscal year for the Predecessor, which ended January 3, 2009, contains operating results for 53 weeks.

Five Months Ended May 28, 2010 for the Predecessor Compared to Fiscal 2009 for the Predecessor

As a result of the Merger and related change in control, generally accepted accounting principles requires us to present separately our
operating results for the Predecessor five months ended May 28, 2010. In the following discussion, historical results for the five months ended May 28, 2010 for the Predecessor are compared and discussed in relation to the historical
Predecessor results for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2010.

The following table sets forth the period change for each
category of the statements of operations, as well as each category as a percentage of net sales:

Net Sales

Total net sales for the five months ended May 28, 2010 were $934.9 million, a $1,236.9 million or 57.0% decrease compared with fiscal 2009. The decrease was directly attributable to the comparison of
operating results of a five month period with a twelve month period. Also, lower sales contributions from the retail stores acquired from Am-Pac and subsequently sold in fiscal 2009 impacted the five month period ended May 28, 2010 as compared to
fiscal 2009 by approximately $27.9 million. Additionally, the decline in tire unit sales attributable to the difference in the number of months in the comparable periods was partially offset by an increase in passenger and light truck tire pricing
of approximately 9.6% during the five months ended May 28, 2010 as compared to fiscal 2009. This increase was driven both by manufacturer price increases and, to a lesser extent, mix of products sold.

Cost of Goods Sold

Total cost of goods sold for the five months ended May 28, 2010 were $775.7 million, a $1,022.2 million or a 56.9% decrease compared
with fiscal 2009. The decrease was directly attributable to the comparison of operating results of a five month period with a twelve month period. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was 83.0% and 82.8% for the five months ended
May 28, 2010 and fiscal 2009, respectively. Included in fiscal 2009 were expenses related to the Am-Pac retail stores, which were completely sold by December 2009. These retail stores had a $14.7 million impact on cost of goods sold during
fiscal 2009 that did not repeat during the five month period ended May 28, 2010.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the five month period ended May 28, 2010 were $135.1 million or
14.5% of net sales compared to $306.2 million or 14.1% of net sales for fiscal 2009. The decline in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to the comparison of operating results for a five month period with a twelve
month period. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales between the five month period ended May 28, 2010 and fiscal 2009 was primarily driven by higher non-cash stock-based compensation expense of
$5.6 million related to the discretionary vesting of certain previously unvested stock options and an increased price per gallon of fuel, which approximated 19% per gallon. Expenses during 2009 included costs for retail stores acquired from
Am-Pac and subsequently sold during 2009. In addition, we experienced lower compensation, rent, fuel and vehicle expenses during fiscal 2010 as we integrated 20 of the Am-Pac distribution centers into our existing centers as of July 2009 and
eliminated certain duplicate expenses.

During the five months ended May 28, 2010, we recorded an out of period
adjustment to our financial statements to correct an error related to the final adjustments recorded to goodwill upon sale of our retail stores in fiscal 2009. Upon review of these adjustments, we determined that $4.9 million previously recorded as
goodwill should have been recorded as customer list intangibles at the time of the sale of the Am-Pac retail stores. Consequently, we have recorded an out-of-period adjustment related to the amortization of the customer list intangible and a
non-cash charge related to a single retail store that was shut-down. In aggregate, the out-of-period non-cash charge included in the five months ended May 28, 2010 approximates $0.4 million and is included within selling, general and
administrative expenses. We evaluated these errors in relation to the periods in which they originated, the current period in which they were corrected, and the estimated income for the full fiscal year, including the trend of earnings. Management
believes these errors are immaterial to the consolidated annual financial statements.

Transaction Expenses

In connection with the Merger, during the five month period ended May 28, 2010, we incurred $42.6 million of transaction expenses
that related to direct acquisition costs including investment banking, legal, accounting and other fees for professional services as well as certain financing fees that did not qualify for capitalization. Also included within this amount was $2.4
million related to our now suspended public offering of our common stock.

Interest Expense

Total interest expense, net of capitalized interest, for the five month period ended May 28, 2010 was $32.7 million, a $21.7 million or 40.0% decrease compared with fiscal 2009. The decrease was
primarily attributable to the comparison of operating results of a five month period with a twelve month period. Partially offsetting this decline during the five months ended May 28, 2010, we wrote off $8.0 million of deferred financing fees
related to the Predecessors existing debt and accreted the carrying amount of the Predecessors redeemable preferred stock to the redemption amount at the date of the Merger, which impacted interest expense by $2.1 million. These amounts
were partially offset during the five month period ended May 28, 2010 by lower average borrowings under our ABL Facility and termination of the Predecessors 2009 swap agreement.

Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes

Our income tax benefit was $15.2
million during the five month period ended May 28, 2010 compared with an income tax provision of $7.3 million during fiscal 2009. The benefit recorded during the five months ended May 28, 2010 was based on a pre-tax loss of $51.3 million,
primarily resulting from the $42.6 million of transaction expenses recorded during this time period. The provision recorded during fiscal 2009 was based on pre-tax income of $12.3 million. Our effective tax rates for the five month period of 2010
and the twelve month period of 2009 were 29.7% and 59.8%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate is due primarily to changes in pre-tax income levels for 2010 as compared to 2009 and the impact related to certain permanent differences,
which are not deductible for income tax purposes and that relate to certain transaction expenses incurred as a result of the Merger.

Net
Income (Loss)

Net loss for the five month period ended May 28, 2010 was $36.1 million compared with net income of
$4.9 million for fiscal 2009. The decrease was directly attributable to the comparison of operating results of a five month period with a twelve month period, the impact of non-recurring transaction expenses and the write-off of previously existing
deferred financing fees during the five month period ended May 28, 2010.

Seven Months Ended January 1, 2011 for the Successor
Compared to Fiscal 2009 for the Predecessor

As a result of the Merger and related change in control, generally
accepted accounting principles requires us to present separately our operating results for the Successor seven months ended January 1, 2011. In the following discussion, historical results for the seven months ended January 1, 2011 for the
Successor are compared and discussed in relation to the historical Predecessor results for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2010.

Net Sales

Total net sales for the seven months ended January 1, 2011 were $1,525.2 million, a $646.5 million or 29.8% decrease compared with fiscal 2009. The decrease was directly attributable to the comparison of
operating results of a seven month period with a twelve month period. Also, lower sales contributions from the retail stores acquired from Am-Pac and subsequently sold in fiscal 2009 impacted the seven month period ended January 1, 2011 as
compared to fiscal 2009 by approximately $27.9 million. The decline in tire unit sales attributable to the difference in the number of months in the comparable periods, however, was partially offset by an increase in passenger and light truck tire
pricing of approximately 15.4% during the seven months ended January 1, 2011 as compared to fiscal 2009. This increase was driven both by manufacturer price increases and, to a lesser extent, mix of products sold.

Cost of Goods Sold

Total cost of goods sold for the seven months ended January 1, 2011 were $1,316.7 million, a $481.2 million or a 26.8% decrease
compared with fiscal 2009. The decrease was directly attributable to the comparison of operating results of a seven month period with a twelve month period. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was 86.3% and 82.8% for the seven months
ended January 1, 2011 and fiscal 2009, respectively. The amortization of the inventory step-up adjustment recorded in connection with the Merger increased cost of goods sold during the seven months ended January 1, 2011 by $58.8 million as
our entire Merger-related inventory was sold during the seven month period. In addition, we recognized a $1.0 million impairment charge in cost of goods sold during the seven month period of 2010 related to the write-down of a component of our
equipment inventory due to our decision to discontinue selling certain products within this product offering (see Note 4 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information). Included in fiscal 2009 were expenses related to the
Am-Pac retail stores, which were completely sold by December 2009. These retail stores had a $14.7 million impact on cost of goods sold during fiscal 2009 that did not repeat during the seven month period ended January 1, 2011.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the seven month period ended January 1, 2011 were $228.5 million or 15.0% of net
sales compared to $306.2 million or 14.1% of net sales for fiscal 2009. The decline in selling, general and administrative expenses was directly attributable to the comparison of operating results for a seven month period with a twelve month period.
In addition, included in selling, general and administrative expense for the seven months ended January 1, 2011 is an additional $14.5 million of amortization related to the valuation of amortizable intangible assets acquired in the Merger,
primarily associated with a customer relationship intangible asset. Also, expenses during 2009 included costs for retail stores acquired from Am-Pac and subsequently sold during 2009, as well as, lower compensation, rent, fuel and vehicle expenses
during fiscal 2010 as we integrated 20 of the Am-Pac distribution centers into our existing centers as of July 2009 and eliminated certain duplicate expenses.

Interest Expense

Total interest expense, net of capitalized interest, for
the seven month period ended January 1, 2011 was $37.4 million, a $17.0 million or 31.3% decrease compared with fiscal 2009. The decrease was directly attributable to the comparison of operating results of a seven month period with a twelve
month period. Partially offsetting this decline was a higher average debt level during the seven month period of 2010 as compared to fiscal 2009, associated with the Successors senior debt obligations as compared to the Predecessors
senior debt obligations, as well as, a slightly higher interest rate associated with the Successors senior debt obligations as compared to the Predecessors senior debt obligations.

Our income tax benefit was $23.3 million during the seven month period ended January 1, 2011 compared with an income tax provision of $7.3 million during fiscal 2009. The benefit recorded during the
seven months ended January 1, 2011 was based on a pre-tax loss of $59.6 million, primarily resulting from the non-recurring amortization of the inventory step-up adjustment as well as the additional amortization expense related to the valuation
of amortizable intangible assets acquired, both recorded in connection with the Merger. The provision recorded during fiscal 2009 was based on pre-tax income of $12.3 million. Our effective tax rates for the seven month period of 2010 and fiscal
2009 were 39.1% and 59.8%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate is due primarily to changes in pre-tax income levels for 2010 as compared to 2009 and the elimination of a valuation allowance against certain capital loss carryforwards
during the seven month period ended January 1, 2011.

Net Income (Loss)

Net loss for the seven month period ended January 1, 2011 was $36.3 million compared with net income of $4.9 million for fiscal 2009.
The decrease was directly attributable to the comparison of operating results of a seven month period with a twelve month period. In addition, the non-recurring amortization of the inventory step-up adjustment, the additional amortization expense
related to the valuation of amortizable intangible assets and the increase in interest expense as discussed above impacted the results during the seven month period ended January 1, 2011.

Net Sales

Net sales increased $210.9 million, or 10.8%, from $1,960.8 million in fiscal 2008 to $2,171.8 million in fiscal 2009. The increase in sales was primarily driven by our acquisition of Am-Pac in late
2008, which contributed $258.4 million to the increase. Additionally, net pricing contributed an additional $39.5 million to the increase and resulted primarily from our passing through the tire manufacturers multiple price increases in
2008. Excluding the Am-Pac acquisition and the three additional business days in fiscal 2008, our sales of passenger and light truck tire units continued to outperform the overall passenger and light truck tire market (down 7.5% as measured by
Modern Tire Dealer), but still declined 0.8% during fiscal 2009 as compared to fiscal 2008. Softer tire unit sales of $43.4 million (approximately $20.9 million of which resulted from the additional three business days in fiscal 2008
compared to fiscal 2009), combined with a decline in wheel, equipment and supply sales, collectively $43.5 million, partially offset the increases noted above.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold increased $192.8 million, or 12.0%,
from $1,605.1 million in fiscal 2008 to $1,797.9 million in fiscal 2009. This increase is primarily due to our acquisition of Am-Pac in late 2008, which contributed increases of $194.6 million and $14.7 million of cost of goods sold from its
wholesale and retail operations, respectively, combined with higher net tire pricing, which resulted from the multiple manufacturer price increases that occurred throughout fiscal 2008. Partially offsetting these increases was the decline in tire,
wheel, equipment and supply unit sales (excluding Am-Pac) year-over-year, and the effect of three fewer business days in fiscal 2009.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

In fiscal 2009, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $31.8 million, or 11.6%, from $274.4 million in fiscal 2008 to $306.2 million, primarily because of our acquisition of Am-Pac in late
2008, which accounted for approximately $41.3 million of the increase. The majority of the increase related to Am-Pac

occurred in the first half of 2009 as our integration strategy was substantially completed by July 2009. Other increases included higher rents for larger facilities occupied during late fiscal
2008 and early fiscal 2009 ($4.8 million) and higher amortization expense related to the change in accounting estimate for certain customer list intangible assets ($3.6 million). Lower employee-related expenses of $8.1 million, including lower
overall employee headcount, three fewer business days in fiscal 2009 and lower 401(k) expense as compared to fiscal 2008, as well as lower fuel cost of $5.3 million and travel and meeting expenses of $1.5 million partially offset the increases noted
above.

Interest Expense

In fiscal 2009, interest expense, net of capitalized interest, decreased $4.8 million, or 8.0%, from $59.2 million in fiscal 2008 to $54.4 million, primarily due to lower interest rates on our variable
rate debt, partially offset by higher average borrowings from our revolving credit facility during fiscal 2009 and a $0.9 million increase in interest expense related to the change in fair value of the interest rate swap agreement entered into in
the second quarter of 2009.

Interest expense, net of capitalized interest, for fiscal 2009 of $54.4 million exceeds cash
payments for interest during the same period in fiscal 2008 of $43.0 million, principally due to non-cash amortization of debt issuance costs and accretion of interest on our redeemable preferred stock, as well as interest accrued but not yet paid.

Provision for Income Tax

Our income tax provision decreased from $11.4 million in fiscal 2008, based on a pre-tax income of $21.0 million, to $7.3 million in fiscal 2009, based on a pre-tax income of $12.3 million. Our effective
tax rates for fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2009 were 54.0% and 59.8%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate is due primarily to lower pre-tax income for fiscal 2009, the effects of certain permanent timing differences (primarily the effect
of preferred stock dividends that are not deductible for income tax purposes) on our pre-tax income of $12.3 million in fiscal 2009 as opposed to the same permanent timing differences on our pre-tax income of $21.0 million in fiscal 2008, and a
higher state effective tax rate as we do not anticipate to be able to benefit from losses generated in certain states.

Net Income

Net income for fiscal 2009 decreased $4.7 million, or 49.0%, from $9.7 million in fiscal 2008 to $4.9 million. The
decrease in net income is due, in part, to higher selling, general and administrative expenses, as discussed above, partially offset by contributions from the Am-Pac acquisition, lower interest expense and the fluctuation in the income tax provision
between fiscal years.

##### Table of Contents

We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund our operating,
investing and financing activities. In doing so, we review and analyze our current cash on hand, the number of days our sales are outstanding, inventory turns, capital expenditures commitments and income tax rates. Our cash requirements consist
primarily of the following:



| |  |  | Debt service requirements
| | - |  | -------------------------



| |  |  | Funding of working capital
| | - |  | --------------------------



| |  |  | Funding of capital expenditures
| | - |  | -------------------------------

Our primary sources of liquidity include cash flows from operations and our availability under our ABL Facility. We expect our cash flow from operations, combined with availability under our ABL Facility,
to provide sufficient liquidity to fund our current obligations, projected working capital requirements, restructuring obligations and capital spending during the next twelve month period. In addition, we expect our cash flow from operations and our
availability under our ABL Facility, which matures on November 28, 2014, to continue to provide sufficient liquidity to fund our ongoing obligations, projected working capital requirements, restructuring obligations and capital spending during
the foreseeable future.

As a result of the Acquisition, we are significantly leveraged. Accordingly, our liquidity
requirements are significant, primarily due to our debt service requirements. As of January 1, 2011, our total indebtedness is $652.5 million. Our cash interest payments for the seven months ended January 1, 2011 for the Successor and the
five months ended May 28, 2010 for the Predecessor was $30.2 million and $26.2 million, respectively. As of January 1, 2011, we have an additional $238.9 million of availability under our ABL Facility. The availability under our ABL
Facility is determined in accordance with a borrowing base which can decline due to various factors. Therefore, amounts under our ABL Facility may not be available when we need them.

Our liquidity and our ability to fund our capital requirements is dependent on our future financial performance, which is subject to
general economic, financial and other factors that are beyond our control and many of which are described under Item 1ARisk Factors. If those factors significantly change or other unexpected factors adversely affect us, our
business may not generate sufficient cash flow from operations or we may not be able to obtain future financings to meet our liquidity needs. We anticipate that to the extent additional liquidity is necessary to fund our operations, it would be
funded through borrowings under our ABL Facility, the incurrence of other indebtedness, additional equity financings or a combination of these potential sources of liquidity. We may not be able to obtain this additional liquidity on terms acceptable
to us or at all.

Cash Flows

As a result of the Merger and related change in control, generally accepted accounting principles requires us to present separately our cash flows for the Successor seven months ended January 1, 2011
and the Predecessor five months ended May 28, 2010. In the following discussion, the Successor seven months ended January 1, 2011 and the Predecessor five months ended May 28, 2010 are each compared with the Predecessor fiscal year
ended January 2, 2010 in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Operating
Activities

Net cash used in operating activities for the seven month period ended January 1, 2011 was $23.4
million compared with $131.1 million of net cash provided by operating activities for fiscal 2009. The decrease of $154.5 million is partially attributable to the comparison of cash flow results of a seven month period with a twelve month period. In
addition, working capital requirements during the seven month period ended January 1, 2011 resulted in a cash outflow of $69.1 million and were driven by increases in safety stock levels of inventory attributable to vendor fill rates, increases
in customer accounts receivables, and decreases in vendor accounts payable, which resulted from timing of vendor payments. In comparison, working capital requirements during fiscal 2009 resulted in a cash inflow of $78.3 million, which were
primarily driven by the decrease in inventory as a result of the consolidations of the acquired Am-Pac distribution centers (finalized in early July 2009) and related rationalization of their inventories, in addition to a reduction in elevated 2008
year-end inventory levels.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the five month period ended May 28, 2010 was
$28.1 million compared with $131.1 million for fiscal 2009. The decrease of $103.0 million is partially attributable to the comparison of cash flow results of a five month period with a twelve month period. A component of the decrease resulted from
the impact of the $42.6 million expense recorded during the five month period ended May 28, 2010 related to transaction costs paid by the Predecessor. In addition, working capital requirements during the five month period ended May 28,
2010 resulted in a cash inflow of $31.0 million as increases in safety stock levels of inventory attributable to vendor fill rates and increases in customer accounts receivables were more than offset by increases in vendor accounts payable, related
to the timing of vendor payments. In comparison, working capital requirements during fiscal 2009 resulted in a cash inflow of $78.3 million, which were primarily driven by the decrease in inventory as a result of the consolidations of the acquired
Am-Pac distribution centers (finalized in early July 2009) and related rationalization of their inventories, in addition to a reduction in elevated 2008 year-end inventory levels.

Net cash provided by operating activities for fiscal 2009 increased $185.2 million, from $54.1 million used in operating
activities in fiscal 2008 to $131.1 million provided by operating activities in fiscal 2009. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to a decrease in our net working capital requirements. For fiscal 2009, our
change in operating assets and liabilities generated a cash inflow of approximately $78.3 million, primarily driven by a decrease in inventories and, to a lesser extent, an increase in accounts payable, partially offset by a decrease in accrued
expenses. The decrease in inventories resulted from the consolidation of the acquired Am-Pac distribution centers (finalized in early July 2009) and rationalization of their inventories, as well as a reduction in elevated 2008 year-end
inventory levels. The decrease in accrued

expenses resulted from income tax payments and incentive compensation payments made during fiscal 2009, both of which related to 2008 fiscal performance, versus income tax and incentive
compensation accrual levels for fiscal 2009 that will be paid.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the seven month period ended January 1, 2011 was $17.2 million compared with $4.6 million
for fiscal 2009. The acquisition of Lisacs and Tire Wholesalers in December 2010 reduced net cash flows from investing activities by $11.0 million. Capital expenditures during the seven months ended January 1, 2011 were $12.4 million
compared with $12.8 million in fiscal 2009. Both periods included expenditures for information technology upgrades, IT application development and leasehold improvements. In addition, proceeds related to the sale of assets held for sale of $6.8
million during the seven months ended January 1, 2011 compared with $9.2 million during fiscal 2009.

Net cash used in
investing activities for the five month period ended May 28, 2010 was $7.5 million compared with $4.6 million for fiscal 2009. Increased capital expenditures during fiscal 2009 included expenditures for information technology upgrades, IT
application development and leasehold improvements. In addition, included in fiscal 2009 results are proceeds of $9.2 million related to the sale of assets held for sale, associated with the sale of certain retail operations acquired in the Am-Pac
acquisition.

Net cash used in investing activities decreased $77.1 million to $4.6 million in fiscal 2009 compared
to net cash used in investing activities of $81.7 million in fiscal 2008. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities was due primarily to a decrease in our acquisition activity as the Am-Pac acquisition took place in fiscal 2008, as
well as an increase in the proceeds from the sale of assets held for sale, including $8.1 million for the sale of certain retail operations acquired in the Am-Pac acquisition, and a lower level of purchases of property and equipment between
fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2009, primarily resulting from the expansion of one of our distribution centers in fiscal 2008. Capital expenditures for fiscal 2009 included information technology upgrades, warehouse racking and the assumption and subsequent
payment of certain mortgage liabilities for real estate obtained for security in certain notes receivable. During fiscal 2009, we also had capital expenditures financed by debt of $2.3 million relating to information technology, which amount is
not reflected as capital expenditures in our consolidated statements of cash flows in accordance with GAAP.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the seven month period ended January 1, 2011 was $40.4 million
compared with net cash used in financing activities of $127.7 for fiscal 2009. The increase in net cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to the proceeds from the issuance of our Senior Secured Notes and our Senior Subordinated
Notes, partially offset by the repayment of our previously outstanding Existing Fixed Rate Notes, Existing Floating Rate Notes, Existing Discount Notes, which we refer to collectively as the Existing Notes, and redeemable preferred stock as well as
payments for deferred financing costs in connection with the Merger.

Net cash used in financing activities for the five month
period ended May 28, 2010 was $15.6 million compared with $127.7 million for fiscal 2009. During fiscal 2009, increased repayments of our revolving credit facility and a larger amount of outstanding checks at the balance sheet date were the
primary drivers of amounts used in financing activities.

Net cash used in financing activities increased $267.2 million
to $127.7 million in fiscal 2009 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $139.5 million in fiscal 2008. The increase in net cash used in financing activities was primarily due to lower net borrowings under our revolving
credit facility, primarily due to the reduction in working capital requirements discussed above, as well as the timing of outstanding checks from year-end 2008 that cleared in the first quarter 2009.

Supplemental Disclosures of Cash Flow Information

Cash payments for interest for the seven month period ended January 1, 2011 were $30.2 million compared with cash payments for
interest for fiscal 2009 of $43.0 million. The decrease is primarily related to the comparison of a seven month period to a twelve month period. However, as a result of the Acquisition, our overall debt structure of the Successor has increased along
with associated higher interest rates as compared with the Predecessor. Cash payments for interest for the five month period ended May 28, 2010 were $26.2 million compared with cash payments for interest for fiscal 2009 of $43.0 million. The
decrease is primarily related to the comparison of a five month period to a twelve month period.

Cash payments for taxes for
the seven month period ended January 1, 2011 were $2.0 million compared with $6.5 million in the fiscal year ended January 2, 2010. The decrease is primarily due to the number of months in the comparative periods and the related quarterly
state and federal tax payment requirements during these months. Cash payments for taxes for the five month period ended May 28, 2010 were $1.1 million compared with $6.5 million in the fiscal year ended January 2, 2010. The decrease is
primarily due to the balance and timing of income tax extension payments for fiscal 2008, made during fiscal 2009, as compared to income tax extension payments for fiscal 2009, made in the first five months of 2010.

Cash payments for interest in fiscal 2009 were $43.0 million, a $14.8 million or 25.6% decrease compared with fiscal 2008. The
decrease was primarily due to the timing of our 2008 calendar period, which included five interest payments on the Predecessors Existing Floating Rate Notes totaling $17.8 million compared to only three interest payments in fiscal 2009
totaling $7.7 million. In addition, lower interest rates during fiscal 2009 compared to fiscal 2008 also contributed to the year-over-year decline in cash payments for interest.

Cash payments for taxes in fiscal 2009 were $6.5 million, a $5.2 million or 44.5% decrease compared with fiscal 2008. The decrease
was primarily due to the differences between the amount of income tax extension payments for fiscal 2007 made in the first part of 2008 and the amount of such payments for fiscal 2008 made in the first part of 2009.

ABL Facility

In
connection with the Merger, ATDI amended and restated its existing senior secured asset-backed revolving credit facility, which we refer to as the ABL Facility. The borrowers to the ABL Facility are ATDI and certain of its subsidiaries. The ABL
Facility provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility of up to $450.0 million (of which up to $50.0 million may be utilized in the form of commercial and standby letters of credit), subject to borrowing base availability. Provided that no
default or event of default is then existing or would arise

##### Table of Contents

therefrom, we have the option to request that the ABL Facility be increased by an amount not to exceed $200.0 million, subject to certain rights of the administrative agent, swingline lender and
issuing banks with respect to the lenders providing commitments for such increase. As of January 1, 2011, the outstanding ABL Facility balance was $190.3 million. In addition, we had certain letters of credit outstanding at January 1, 2011
in the aggregate amount of $7.8 million, leaving $238.9 million available for additional borrowings. The ABL Facility matures on November 28, 2014.

Borrowings under the ABL Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, either (a) an Adjusted LIBOR rate determined by reference to LIBOR, adjusted for statutory reserve
requirements, plus an applicable margin of 3.0% or (b) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (1) the prime commercial lending rate published by the Bank of America, N.A. as its prime rate for commercial loans,
(2) the federal funds effective rate plus 1/2of 1% and (3) the one month-Adjusted LIBOR rate plus 1.0% per annum, plus an applicable margin of 2.0%. The applicable margins under the ABL Facility are subject to step ups and step downs based on average excess borrowing availability
under the ABL Facility.

The borrowing base at any time equals the sum (subject to certain reserves and other
adjustments) of:



| |  |  | 85% of eligible accounts receivable; plus
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------



| |  |  | The lesser of (a) 70% of the lesser of cost or fair market value of eligible tire inventory and (b) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value
of eligible tire inventory; plus
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The lesser of (a) 50% of the lower of cost or market value of eligible non-tire inventory and (b) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of
eligible non-tire inventory.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All obligations under the ABL Facility are unconditionally guaranteed by
Holdings and substantially all of ATDIs existing and future, direct and indirect, wholly-owned domestic material restricted subsidiaries, other than Tire Pros Francorp. Obligations under the ABL Facility are also secured by a first-priority
lien on inventory, accounts receivable and related assets and a second-priority lien on substantially all other assets, in each case of Holdings, ATDI and the guarantor subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions.

The ABL Facility contains customary covenants, including covenants that restrict our ability to incur additional debt, grant liens, enter
into guarantees, enter into certain mergers, make certain loans and investments, dispose of assets, prepay certain debt, declare dividends, modify certain material agreements, enter into transactions with affiliates or change our fiscal year. If the
amount available for additional borrowing under the ABL Facility is less than the greater of (a) 12.5% of the lesser of (x) the aggregate commitments under the ABL Facility and (y) the borrowing base and (b) $25.0 million, then
we would be subject to an additional covenant requiring us to meet a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0. As of January 1, 2011, our additional borrowing availability under the ABL Facility were above the required amount and we were
therefore not subject to the additional covenants.

Senior Secured Notes

On May 28, 2010, in connection with the consummation of the Merger, ATDI issued Senior Secured Notes (Senior Secured
Notes) due June 1, 2017 in an aggregate principal amount at maturity of $250.0 million. The Senior Secured Notes were issued at a discount from their principal amount at maturity and generated net proceeds of approximately $240.7 million
after debt issuance costs (which represents a non-cash financing activity of $9.3 million). The Senior Secured Notes will accrete based on an effective interest rate of 10% to an aggregate accreted value of $250.0 million, the full principal amount
at maturity. The Senior Secured Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 9.75% per annum. Interest on the Senior Secured Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on December 1,
2010. The Senior Secured Notes are not redeemable, except as described below, at the option of ATDI prior to June 1, 2013. Thereafter, the Senior Secured Notes may be redeemed at any time at the option of ATDI, in whole or in part, upon not
less than 30 nor more than 60 days notice at a redemption price of 107.313% of the principal amount if the redemption

date occurs between June 1, 2013 and May 31, 2014, 104.875% of the principal amount if the redemption date occurs between June 1, 2014 and May 31, 2015, 102.438% of the
principal amount if the redemption date occurs between June 1, 2015 and May 31, 2016 and 100.0% of the principal amount if the redemption date occurs between June 1, 2016 and May 31, 2017.

Until June 1, 2013, ATDI may, at its option, on one or more occasions, redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the
Senior Secured Notes issued at a redemption price equal to 109.75% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, to, but not including, the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds from one or more equity offerings
to the extent that such net cash proceeds are received by or contributed to ATDI; provided that:



| | (1) | at least 50% of the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption; and
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (2) | each such redemption occurs within 120 days of the date of the closing of the related equity offering.
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, at any time prior to June 1, 2013, ATDI may redeem all or a part of the Senior Secured Notes upon not less than 30 or
more than 60 days notice at a redemption price equal to 100.0% of the principal amount of notes to be redeemed, plus the applicable premium (an amount intended to approximate a make-whole price based on the price of a U.S. treasury
security plus 50 basis points) as of, plus accrued and unpaid interest, to, but not including , the redemption date, subject to the rights of holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.

The Senior Secured Notes are unconditionally guaranteed by Holdings and substantially all of ATDIs existing and future,
direct and indirect, wholly-owned domestic material restricted subsidiaries, other than Tire Pros Francorp, subject to certain exceptions. The Senior Secured Notes are also collateralized by a second-priority lien on accounts receivable and related
assets and a first-priority lien on substantially all other assets (other than inventory), in each case of Holdings, ATDI and the guarantor subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions.

The indenture governing the Senior Secured Notes contains covenants that, among other things, limits ATDIs ability and the ability
of its restricted subsidiaries to incur additional debt or issue preferred stock; pay certain dividends or make certain distributions in respect of ATDIs or repurchase or redeem ATDIs capital stock; make certain loans, investments or
other restricted payments; place restrictions on the ability of ATDIs subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments to ATDI; engage in transactions with stockholders or affiliates; transfer or sell certain assets; guarantee indebtedness
or incur other contingent obligations; incur certain liens; consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of ATDIs assets; enter into certain transactions with ATDIs affiliates; and designate ATDIs subsidiaries as
unrestricted subsidiaries.

Senior Subordinated Notes

On May 28, 2010, in connection with the consummation of the Merger, ATDI issued $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 11.50% Senior Subordinated Notes due June 1, 2018, which we
refer to as the Senior Subordinated Notes. Interest on the Senior Subordinated Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on December 1, 2010. The Senior Subordinated Notes are not
redeemable, except as described below, at the option of ATDI prior to June 1, 2013. Thereafter, the Senior Subordinated Notes may be redeemed at any time at the option of ATDI, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days
notice at a redemption price of 104.0% of the principal amount if the redemption date occurs between June 1, 2013 and May 31, 2014, 102.0% of the principal amount if the redemption date occurs between June 1, 2014 and May 31,
2015 and 100.0% of the principal amount if the redemption date occurs between June 1, 2015 and May 31, 2016.

certain assets; guarantee indebtedness or incur other contingent obligations; incur certain liens without securing the Senior Subordinated Notes; consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of ATDIs assets; enter into certain
transactions with ATDIs affiliates; and designate ATDIs subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries.

Repurchase of Existing
Notes

In connection with the Merger, on May 4, 2010, Merger Sub commenced cash tender offers for any and all of
the Discount Notes, 2013 Notes and Floating Rate Notes, which we refer to as the Existing Notes. All of the Existing Notes were tendered and subsequently purchased and retired by Merger Sub. The aggregate total consideration paid in respect of the
Existing Notes was $346.7 million, including accrued and unpaid interest.

Contractual Commitments

As of January 1, 2011, we had certain cash obligations associated with contractual commitments. The amounts due under these
commitments are as follows:

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no significant off balance sheet arrangements, other than liabilities related to leases of Winston Tire Company that we guaranteed
when we sold Winston Tire Company in 2001. As of January 1, 2011, our total obligations as guarantor on these leases are approximately $4.6 million extending over eight years. However, we have secured assignments or sublease agreements for the
vast majority of these commitments with contractually assigned or subleased rentals of approximately $4.2 million as of January 1, 2011. A provision has been made for the net present value of the estimated shortfall. The accrual for lease
liabilities could be materially affected by factors such as the credit worthiness of lessors, assignees and sublessees and our success at negotiating early termination agreements with lessors. These factors are significantly dependent on general
economic conditions. While we believe that our current estimates of these liabilities are adequate, it is possible that future events could require significant adjustments to those estimates.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Managements Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of
financial statements in conformity with those accounting principles requires management to use judgment in making estimates and assumptions based on the relevant information available at the end of each period. These estimates and assumptions have a
significant effect on reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities because they result primarily from the need to make estimates and assumptions on matters that are
inherently uncertain. Actual results may differ from estimates. The following is a summary of certain accounting estimates and assumptions made by management that we consider critical.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The allowance for doubtful accounts
represents the best estimate of probable loss inherent within our accounts receivable balance. Estimates are based upon both the creditworthiness of specific customers and the overall probability of losses based upon an analysis of the overall aging
of receivables, past collection trends and general economic conditions. Estimating losses from doubtful accounts is inherently uncertain because the amount of such losses depends substantially on the financial condition of our customers. If the
financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate beyond estimates, and impair their ability to make payments, we would be required to write off additional accounts receivable balances, which would adversely impact our results of operations.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method, or fair market value and consist primarily of automotive tires, custom wheels, and related tire supplies
and tools. We perform periodic assessments to determine the existence of obsolete, slow-moving and non-saleable inventories and record necessary provisions to reduce such inventories to net realizable value. If actual market conditions are less
favorable than those projected by management, we could be required to reduce the value of our inventory or record additional reserves, which would adversely impact our results of operations.

Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

Goodwill and
intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are no longer amortized, but are tested and reviewed annually for impairment during the fourth quarter or whenever there is a significant change in events or circumstances that indicate that the fair
value of the asset may be less than the carrying amount of the asset.



40



---

##### Table of Contents

Recoverability of goodwill is determined using a two step process. The first step compares
the carrying amount of the reporting unit to its estimated fair value. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not impaired and the second step of the impairment test is not
necessary. To the extent that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, a second step is performed, wherein the reporting units carrying value of goodwill is compared to the implied fair value of goodwill. To
the extent that the carrying value exceeds the implied fair value, impairment exists and must be recognized.

Recoverability
of other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the intangible assets to the estimated fair value of the respective intangible assets. Any excess of the carrying value over the estimated
fair value is recognized as an impairment loss equal to that excess.

The determination of estimated fair value requires
management to make assumptions about estimated cash flows, including profit margins, long-term forecasts, discount rates, royalty rates and terminal growth rates. Management developed these assumptions based on the best information available as of
the date of the assessment. We completed our assessment of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives as of November 30, 2010 and determined that no impairment existed at that date. Although no impairment has been recorded to
date, there can be no assurances that future impairments will not occur. Future adverse developments in market conditions or our current or projected operating results could cause the fair value of our goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite
useful lives to fall below carrying value, which would result in an impairment charge that would adversely affect our results of operations.

Long-Lived Assets

Management reviews long-lived assets, which consist of property, leasehold improvements, equipment and definite-lived intangibles, for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. For long-lived assets to be held and used, management evaluates recoverability by comparing the carrying value of the asset
to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of the asset
exceeds the fair value of the asset. For long-lived assets for which we have committed to a disposal plan, we report such assets at the lower of the carrying value or fair value less the cost to sell.

In determining the fair value of long-lived assets, we make judgments relating to the expected useful lives of long-lived assets and our
ability to realize any undiscounted cash flows in excess of the carrying amounts of such assets. Factors that impact these judgments include the ongoing maintenance and improvements of the assets, changes in the expected use of the assets, changes
in economic conditions, changes in operating performance and anticipated future cash flows. If actual fair value is less than our estimates, long-lived assets may be overstated on the balance sheet, which would adversely impact our results of
operations.

Self-Insured Reserves

We are self-insured for automobile liability, workers compensation and the health care claims of our team members, although we maintain stop-loss coverage with third-party insurers to limit our
total liability exposure. We establish reserves for losses associated with claims filed, as well as claims incurred but not yet reported, using actuarial methods followed in the insurance industry and our historical claims experience. While we do
not expect the amounts ultimately paid to differ significantly from our estimates, our results of operations and financial condition could be materially affected if losses from these claims differs significantly from our estimates.

##### Table of Contents

Acquisition Exit Cost Reserves

In connection with certain acquisitions, we have acquired certain facilities that we have closed or intend to close. We record reserves
for certain exit costs associated with closing these facilities. These exit cost reserves are recorded in an amount equal to future minimum lease payments and related ancillary costs from the date of closure to the end of the lease term, net of
estimated sublease rentals we reasonably expect to obtain for the property. We estimate future cash flows based on contractual lease terms, the geographic market in which the facility is located, inflation, ability to sublease the property and other
economic conditions. We estimate sublease rentals based on the geographic market in which the property is located, our experience subleasing similar properties and other economic conditions. If actual exit costs associated with closing these
facilities differ from our estimates, it could impact our results of operations.

Income Taxes and Valuation Allowances

Pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) authoritative guidance for accounting for income
taxes and uncertain tax positions, deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities, in each case using the enacted marginal tax rate we expect
will apply when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability from period to period. We record a valuation allowance, which reduces
deferred tax assets, if available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. Changes in the valuation allowance are recognized in our provision for deferred income taxes
in the period of change.

The application of income tax law is inherently complex. We are required to make certain assumptions
and judgments regarding our income tax positions and the likelihood that such tax positions will be sustained if challenged. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax provisions are recorded as a component of the provision for income taxes.
Interpretations and guidance surrounding income tax laws and regulations change over time. Changes in our assumptions and judgments can materially affect the amounts we recognize in our consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized and earned when all of the following criteria are satisfied: (a) persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists; (b) price is fixed or determinable;
(c) collectability is reasonably assured; and (d) delivery has occurred or service has been rendered. We recognize revenue when the title and the risk and rewards of ownership have substantially transferred to the customer, which is upon
delivery under free-on-board destination terms.

We permit customers from time to time to return certain products but there is
no contractual right of return. We continuously monitor and track such returns and record an estimate of such future returns, based on historical experience and recent trends. While such returns have historically been within managements
expectations and the provisions established have been adequate, we cannot guarantee that we will continue to experience the same return rates that we have in the past. If future returns increase significantly, operating results would be adversely
affected.

Tire Manufacturer Rebates

We receive rebates from tire manufacturers pursuant to a variety of rebate programs. These rebates are recorded in accordance with accounting standards applicable to cash consideration received from
vendors. Many of the tire manufacturer programs provide that we receive rebates when certain measures are achieved, generally related to the volume of our purchases. We account for these rebates as a reduction to the price of the product, which

year, we record amounts earned for annual rebates based on purchases management considers probable for the full year. These estimates are periodically revised to reflect rebates actually earned
based on actual purchase levels. Tire manufacturers may change the terms of some or all of these programs, which could increase our cost of goods sold and decrease our net income, particularly if these changes are not passed along to the customer.

Customer Rebates

We offer rebates to our customers under a number of different programs. These rebates are recorded in accordance with authoritative guidance related to accounting for consideration given by a vendor to a
customer. These programs typically provide customers with rebates, generally in the form of a reduction to the amount they owe us, when certain measures are achieved, generally related to the volume of product purchased from us. We record these
rebates through a reduction in the related price of the product, which decreases our net sales. During the year, we estimate rebate amounts based on the rebate rates we expect customers will achieve for the full year. These estimates are
periodically revised to reflect rebates actually earned by customers.

Cooperative Advertising and Marketing Programs

We participate in cooperative advertising and marketing programs, or co-op advertising, with our vendors. Co-op
advertising funds are provided to us generally based on the volume of purchases made with vendors that offer such programs. A portion of the funds received must be used for specific advertising and marketing expenditures incurred by us or our
customers. The co-op advertising funds received by us from our vendors are accounted for in accordance with authoritative guidance related to accounting for cash consideration received from a vendor, which requires that we record the funds received
as a reduction of cost of sales or as an offset to specific costs incurred in selling the vendors products. The co-op advertising funds that are provided to our customers are accounted for in accordance with authoritative guidance related to
accounting for cash consideration given by a vendor to a customer, which requires that we record the funds paid as a reduction of revenue since no separate identifiable benefit is received by us.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements an amendment to Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures. This amendment requires an entity to: (i) disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers,
(ii) disclose separately the reasons for any transfers in and out of Level 3, and (iii) present separate information for Level 3 activity pertaining to gross purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements. ASU No. 2010-06 is effective
for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, with one new disclosure effective after December 15, 2010. We adopted this guidance in full beginning with the interim period ended April 3, 2010, except for
the gross presentation of Level 3 rollforward information which is required for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010 and interim reporting periods within those years.



|Item 7A. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk.
|-------- | ----------------------------------------------------------

Our results of operations are exposed to changes in interest rates primarily with respect to our ABL Facility. Interest on the ABL
Facility is tied to Base Rate, as defined, or LIBOR. At January 1, 2011, we had $190.3 million outstanding under our ABL Facility, none of which has been hedged by an interest rate swap agreement and was thus subject to interest rate changes.
An increase of 1% in such interest rate percentages would increase our annual interest expense by $1.9 million, based on the outstanding balance of the ABL Facility.

MANAGEMENTS REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL
REPORTING

Management of American Tire Distributors Holdings, Inc. (the Company) is responsible for
establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as a process
designed by, or under the supervision of, the Companys principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the Companys board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:



| |  |  | Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the
Company;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded and necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Companys assets that
could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Because of its inherent limitations,
internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that
the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management conducted an assessment of the
Companys internal control over financial reporting as of January 1, 2011. In making this assessment, the Companys management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO)
in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework. Based on this assessment, management has concluded that the Companys internal control over financial reporting was effective at a reasonable assurance level as of January 1, 2011.

AMERICAN TIRE DISTRIBUTORS HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Description of Company:

American Tire Distributors Holdings, Inc. (also
referred to herein as Holdings) is a Delaware corporation that owns 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of American Tire Distributors, Inc. (ATDI), a Delaware corporation. Holdings has no significant assets or
operations other than its ownership of ATDI. The operations of ATDI and its subsidiaries constitute the operations of Holdings presented under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Unless the context otherwise requires,
Company herein refers to Holdings and its consolidated subsidiaries.

The Company is primarily engaged in the
wholesale distribution of tires, custom wheels and accessories, and related tire supplies and tools, representing 94.6%, 2.3% and 1.4%, respectively, of our net sales. Operating as one operating and reportable segment through a network of 88
distribution centers, including two redistribution centers in the United States, the Company offers access to an extensive breadth and depth of inventory, representing approximately 40,000 stock-keeping units (SKUs) to approximately 50,000
customers. The Companys customer base is comprised primarily of independent tire dealers with the remainder of other customers representing national retail chains, service stations and other automotive dealer and repair facilities. The Company
serves all or parts of 40 states located in the Southeastern and Mid-Atlantic regions, portions of the Northeast, Midwest, Southwest and the West Coast of the United States.

The Companys fiscal year is based on either a 52- or 53-week period ending on the Saturday closest to each December 31. Therefore, the financial results of 53-week fiscal years will not be
exactly comparable to the prior and subsequent 52-week fiscal years. The seven months ended January 1, 2011 for the Successor contains operating results for 31 weeks. The five months ended May 28, 2010 for the Predecessor contains
operating results for 21 weeks. The fiscal years ended January 2, 2010 and January 3, 2009 contain operating results for 52 weeks and 53 weeks, respectively.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

A summary of significant
accounting policies used in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:

Basis of Preparation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the consolidated operations of Holdings and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and
have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) as defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) within the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (FASB ASC). In the opinion of management, the
accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the consolidated results for the periods presented.

On May 28, 2010, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 20, 2010 (as amended and supplemented, the
Merger Agreement), among Holdings, Accelerate Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation (the Buyer), Accelerate Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Buyer (Merger Sub), and
Investcorp International, Inc., solely in its capacity as a representative of the stockholders, optionholders and warrantholders of Holdings, Merger Sub merged with and into Holdings with Holdings being the surviving corporation (also referred
herein as the Merger or the Acquisition). As a result of the Merger, Holdings became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Buyer and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Accelerate Parent Corp. (Accelerate Parent),
substantially all of whose outstanding capital stock is owned by investment entities affiliated with TPG Capital, L.P. (TPG or the Sponsor). Additionally, under

push-down accounting is required when such transactions result in an entity becoming substantially wholly-owned. Under push-down accounting, certain transactions incurred by the Buyer, which would otherwise be accounted for in the accounts of the
parent, are pushed down and recorded on the financial statements of the subsidiary. Therefore, the basis in shares of common stock of Holdings have been pushed down from the Buyer to Holdings.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Holdings and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Partially-owned investments are accounted for under the equity method. All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates. Estimates are based on several factors including the facts and circumstances available at the time of the estimates are made, historical experience, risk of loss, general economic conditions and trends, and the assessment of
the probably future outcome. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of changes, if any, are reflected in the statement of operations in the period that they are determined.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all deposits with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents in its consolidated financial statements. Outstanding checks are presented as a financing cash
outflow in the statement of cash flows because they are funded by drawing on the ABL Facility as they are presented for payment.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method, or fair market value and consist
primarily of automotive tires, custom wheels, and related tire supply and tool products. The Company performs periodic assessments to determine the existence of obsolete, slow-moving and non-saleable inventories and records necessary provisions to
reduce such inventories to net realizable value. A majority of the Companys tire vendors allow for the return of tire products, subject to certain limitations, specified in supply arrangements with the vendors. In addition, the Companys
inventory is collateral under the ABL Facility. See Note 8 for additional information.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The allowance for doubtful accounts represents the best estimate of probable loss inherent within the Companys
accounts receivable balance. Estimates are based upon both the creditworthiness of specific customers and the overall probability of losses based upon an analysis of the overall aging of receivables, past collection trends and general economic
conditions.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. For financial reporting purposes, assets placed in service are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method at
annual rates

sufficient to amortize the cost of the assets less estimated salvage values over the assets estimated useful lives. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their economic
useful life or their lease term. The range of useful lives used to depreciate property and equipment is as follows:



|                        |  |               
|----------------------- |  | --------------
|Buildings               |  | 25 to 31 years
|Leasehold improvements  |  | 9 years       
|Machinery and equipment |  | 2 to 7 years  
|Furniture and fixtures  |  | 8 years       
|Internal use software   |  | 3 to 5 years  
|Vehicles and other      |  | 4 to 6 years  

Repairs and maintenance
expenditures that do not extend the useful life of the asset are charged to expense as incurred. Major expenditures for replacements and significant improvements that increase asset values and extend useful lives are capitalized. The carrying
amounts of assets that are sold or retired and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts in the year of disposal, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the statement of operations.

The Company capitalizes costs, including interest, incurred to develop or acquire internal-use software. These costs are capitalized
subsequent to the preliminary project stage once specific criteria are met. Costs incurred in the preliminary project planning stage are expensed. Other costs, such as maintenance and training, are also expensed as incurred. Capitalized costs are
amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method.

The Company assesses the recoverability of the
carrying value of its property and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the
future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds
the fair value of the assets.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

In accordance with GAAP, goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are no longer amortized, but are tested and reviewed
annually for impairment during the fourth quarter or whenever there is a significant change in events or circumstances that indicate that the fair value of the asset may be less than the carrying amount of the asset.

Recoverability of goodwill is measured at the reporting unit level and determined using a two step process. The first step compares the
carrying amount of the reporting unit to its estimated fair value. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not impaired and the second step of the impairment test is not
necessary. To the extent that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, a second step is performed, wherein the reporting units carrying value of goodwill is compared to the implied fair value of goodwill. To
the extent that the carrying value exceeds the implied fair value, impairment exists and must be recognized.

Recoverability
of other indefinite-lived intangible assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the intangible assets to the estimated fair value of the respective intangible assets. Any excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value
is recognized as an impairment loss equal to that excess.

##### Table of Contents

Intangible assets such as customer-related intangible assets and noncompete agreements with
finite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated economic lives. The weighted-average useful lives approximate the following:



|                      |  |             
|--------------------- |  | ------------
|Customer list         |  | 19 years    
|Tradenames            |  | 1 to 5 years
|Noncompete agreements |  | 2 years     

The Company assesses the
recoverability of the carrying value of its intangible assets with finite useful lives whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by a comparison of
the carrying amount of an asset to the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which
the carrying value of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets.

Deferred Financing Costs

Costs associated with financing activities (see Note 8) are included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as deferred financing
costs (included within Other Assets) and are being amortized over the terms of the loans to which such costs relate. Amortization of deferred financing costs included in operating income was $2.7 million for the Successor seven months ended
January 1, 2011. Amortization of deferred financing costs for the Predecessor five months ended May 28, 2010 and fiscal years 2009 and 2008 were $10.0 million, $4.8 million and $4.8 million, respectively. These amounts are included in
interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. As a result of the Acquisition, $8.0 million of deferred financing costs associated with the old debt structure were written off and included in the $10.0 million
amortization of deferred financing costs for the Predecessor five months ended May 28, 2010. The unamortized balance of deferred financing costs included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets was $22.3 million for the Successor at
January 1, 2011 and $12.5 million for the Predecessor at January 2, 2010.

Equity Method Investment

The Company has a 52% equity investment in American Car Care Centers (ACCC), an association of independent tire and automotive
service dealers with over 1,100 locations nationwide. ACCC engages in a program to assist its stockholders and their customers in the promotion, marketing, distribution and sale of tires, tire supplies, accessories and equipment. Although we hold a
majority ownership interest, our interest does not provide us with the ability to exercise significant influence. Accordingly, the investment is accounted for under the equity method and is included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheet at January 1, 2011.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

For derivative instruments, the Company applies FASB authoritative guidance which establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring
that every derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. This statement requires that changes in the
derivatives fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met and that a company must formally document, designate and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting
treatment.

Self Insurance

The Company is self-insured with respect to employee health liability claims and maintains a large deductible program on workers compensation and auto. The Company has stop-loss insurance coverage
for

##### Table of Contents

individual claims in excess of $0.3 million for employee health insurance and deductibles of $0.3 million on the workers compensation and auto on a per claim basis. Aggregate stop-loss
limits for workers compensation and auto are $7.8 million. There is no aggregate stop-loss limit on employee health insurance. A reserve for liabilities associated with losses is established for claims filed and claims incurred but not yet
reported using actuarial methods followed in the insurance industry and the Companys historical claims experience.

Revenue
Recognition and Concentration of Credit Risk

Revenue is recognized and earned when all of the following criteria are
satisfied: (a) persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists; (b) price is fixed or determinable; (c) collectability is reasonably assured; and (d) delivery has occurred or service has been rendered. The Company recognizes
revenue when the title and the risks and rewards of ownership have substantially transferred to the customer, which is upon delivery under free on board (FOB) destination terms.

The Company permits customers from time to time to return certain products, but there is no contractual right of return. The Company
continuously monitors and tracks such returns and records an estimate of such future returns, which is based on historical experience and recent trends.

In the normal course of business, the Company extends credit, on open accounts, to its customers after performing a credit analysis based on a number of financial and other criteria. The Company performs
ongoing credit evaluations of its customers financial condition and does not normally require collateral; however, letters of credit and other security are occasionally required for certain new and existing customers. The Companys top
ten customers accounted for approximately 8.0%, 5.5%, and 6.7% of net sales, respectively, for the fiscal years of 2010, 2009, and 2008.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Certain Company shipping, handling and other distribution costs are classified as selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. For the Successor,
such expenses totaled $64.5 million for the seven months ended January 1, 2011. For the Predecessor, such expenses totaled $43.1 million for the five months ended May 28, 2010, $99.6 million for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2010,
and $99.5 million for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2009. Shipping revenue is classified within net sales in accordance with accounting standards on shipping and handling fees and costs.

Tire Manufacturer Rebates

The Company receives rebates from its vendors under a number of different programs. These rebates are recorded in accordance with the accounting standards for cash consideration received from a vendor.
Many of the vendor programs provide for the Company to receive rebates when any of a number of measures are achieved, generally related to the volume of purchases. These rebates are accounted for as a reduction to the price of the product, which
reduces the carrying value of inventory until the product is sold. Throughout the year, the amount recognized for annual rebates is based on purchases management considers probable for the full year. These estimates are continually revised to
reflect rebates earned based on actual purchase levels.

Customer Rebates

The Company offers rebates to its customers under a number of different programs. These rebates are recorded in accordance with the
accounting standards for consideration given by a vendor to a customer. The majority of these programs provide for the customer to receive rebates, generally in the form of a reduction in the related accounts receivable balance, when certain
measures are achieved, generally related to the volume of product purchased from the Company. These rebates are recorded as a reduction of the related price of the product, which reduces the amount of revenue recorded. Throughout the year, the
amount of rebates is estimated based on the expected level of purchases to be made by customers that participate in the rebate programs. These estimates are periodically revised to reflect rebates earned by customers based on actual purchases made.

Cooperative Advertising and Marketing Programs

The Company participates in cooperative advertising and marketing programs (co-op) with its vendors. Co-op funds are provided
to the Company generally based on the volume of purchases made with vendors that offer such programs. A portion of the funds received must be used for specific advertising and marketing expenditures incurred by the Company or its customers. The
co-op funds received by the Company from its vendors are accounted for in accordance with the accounting standards related to accounting for cash consideration received from a vendor, which requires that the Company record the funds received as a
reduction of cost of sales or as an offset to specific costs incurred in selling the vendors products. The co-op funds that are provided to the Companys customers are accounted for in accordance with authoritative guidance related to
accounting for cash consideration given by a vendor to a customer, which requires that the Company record the funds paid as a reduction of revenue since no separate identifiable benefit is received by the Company.

Income Taxes

The
Company accounts for its income taxes in accordance with FASB authoritative guidance. The accounting standard requires the use of the asset and liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax
effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax reporting purposes, at the applicable enacted tax rates. The Company provides a valuation
allowance against its deferred tax assets when the future realizability of the assets is no longer considered to be more likely than not.

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with FASB authoritative guidance. The application of income tax law is inherently complex. As such, the Company is required to make certain
assumptions and judgments regarding its income tax positions and the likelihood whether such tax positions would be sustained if challenged. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax provisions are recorded as a component of the provision for
income taxes. Interpretations and guidance surrounding income tax laws and regulations change over time. As such, changes in the Companys assumptions and judgments can materially affect amounts recognized in the Companys consolidated
balance sheets and statement of operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements an amendment to
Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. This amendment requires an entity to: (i) disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value
measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers, (ii) disclose separately the reasons for any transfers in and out of Level 3, and (iii) present separate information for Level 3 activity pertaining to gross purchases, sales,
issuances, and settlements. ASU No. 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, with one new disclosure effective after December 15, 2010. The Company adopted this guidance in full
beginning with the interim period ended April 3, 2010, except for the gross presentation of Level 3 rollforward information which is required for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010 and interim reporting periods within
those years.

Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable were stated at their historical carrying
values, which approximate their fair value, given the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities. Inventories were recorded at fair value, based on computations which considered many factors, including the estimated selling price of the
inventory, the cost to dispose of the inventory, as well as the replacement cost of the inventory, where applicable.

The Company has allocated $249.9 million to tradenames related to ATDI. Management considered many factors
in the determination that it will account for the asset as an indefinite-lived intangible assets, including the current market leadership position of the name as well as the recognition in the industry. Therefore, in accordance with current
accounting guidance, the indefinite-lived intangible asset will not be amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually (more frequently if certain indicators are present).

Transaction Expenses

2010 Acquisitions

On December 10, 2010, the Company completed the purchase of substantially all the assets of Lisacs of Washington, Inc.
(Lisacs) pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of December 10, 2010. Lisacs operated tire distribution centers in Portland, Oregon and Spokane, Washington, serving over 1,400 customers in the area.

On December 10, 2010, the Company completed the purchase of 100% of the capital stock of Tire Wholesalers, Inc. (Tire
Wholesalers) pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of December 10, 2010. Tire Wholesalers operated one distribution center in Kent, Washington, which serviced over 750 customers in the area.

The aggregate purchase price of these acquisitions was approximately $11 million, which was funded through the Companys ABL
Facility. The purchase of Lisacs and Tire Wholesalers significantly expanded the Companys position in the Northwestern United States.

2008 Acquisitions

On October 8, 2008, the Company completed
the purchase of certain assets and the assumption of certain liabilities of Remington Tire Distributors, Inc., which does business under the name Grays Wholesale Tire Distributors (Grays Tire) pursuant to the terms of an
Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of October 8, 2008. The aggregate purchase price was $6.6 million, which was funded through borrowings under the Companys revolving credit facility. This acquisition expanded the Companys presence
in Texas and Oklahoma and complemented the Companys existing distribution centers located within the states of Texas and Oklahoma.

On December 18, 2008, the Company completed the purchase of all the issued and outstanding capital stock of Am-Pac Tire Dist., Inc. (Am-Pac) pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase
Agreement dated December 18, 2008. The aggregate purchase price of the Am-Pac acquisition was approximately $74.7 million, consisting of $71.1 million in cash and $3.6 million in direct acquisition costs. The Company financed the purchase
through borrowings under its revolving credit facility. During May 2010, the Company made a claim against the amount of purchase price held in escrow in the amount of $0.3 million and the remaining escrow balance of $9.5 million was released to the
sellers, which resulted in an increase to goodwill of $9.5 million. This acquisition significantly strengthened the Companys presence in markets it served and allowed the Company to expand its operations into St. Louis, Missouri and western
Texas.

As part of the acquisition of Am-Pac, the Company acquired certain retail stores and operations. As the Companys
core business does not relate to the operations of retail stores and as management believed that by operating retail stores it would be in direct competition with its customers, the Company decided that it would divest of these retail stores. As a
result, during fiscal 2009, the Company sold 36 of the 37 acquired retail stores and shutdown the remaining acquired store.

4.
Inventories:

Inventories consist primarily of automotive tires, custom wheels, tire supplies and tools and are valued at
the lower of cost, determined on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method, or fair market value. The Company performs periodic assessments to determine the existence of obsolete, slow-moving and non-saleable inventories and records necessary provisions
to reduce such inventories to net realizable value. A majority of the Companys tire vendors allow for the return of tire products, subject to certain limitations, specified in supply arrangements with the vendors. In addition, the
Companys inventory is collateral under the ABL Facility. See Note 8 for further information.

As a result of the
Acquisition, the carrying value of inventory was increased by $58.8 million to adjust to estimated fair value in accordance with the accounting guidance for business combinations. The step up in inventory value was amortized into cost of goods sold
in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations over the period of the Companys normal inventory turns, which approximated two months.

During the quarter ended October 2, 2010, the Company made the decision to discontinue
selling certain products within its equipment product offering. As a result of the decision, the Company recognized a $1.0 million impairment charge, which is included in cost of goods sold in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations,
related to the estimated write-down of related inventory to their fair market values as the Company moves to dispose of the residual equipment in these product offerings. Sales related to these products accounted for 1.7% of our combined net sales
during fiscal 2010.

The change in fair value of select assets recorded at the acquisition date was based upon managements
assessment of the acquired assets condition, as well as an evaluation of the current market value for such assets. The increase in fair value primarily consisted of changes in internal use software and furniture and fixtures, approximately
$10.9 million and $12.6 million, respectively. The increase from net book value to fair value of these assets types was primarily the result of increased flexibility and adaptability in their respective uses, including implementation of common
software and warehousing platforms across our business, as well as our evaluation of current market conditions. In addition, the Company also considered the length of time over which the economic benefit of these assets is expected to be realized
and adjusted the useful life of such assets accordingly as of the valuation date.

6. Goodwill:

The Company records as goodwill the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is tested and
reviewed annually for impairment during the fourth quarter or whenever there is a significant change in events or circumstances that indicate that the fair value of the asset may be less than the carrying amount of the asset. As of January 1,
2011 and January 2, 2010, the change in the carrying amount of goodwill is as follows:

As of January 1, 2011, the Company has recorded goodwill of $431.1 million, of which approximately $21
million of net goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes in future periods. The Acquisition of Holdings was accounted for under the accounting standard for business combinations. Accordingly, the purchase price of the acquisition has been
allocated to the Companys assets and liabilities based upon their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. During the fourth quarter, the Company identified an income tax item that was not previously identified as part of the initial
purchase price allocation, specifically, an income tax benefit related to option cancellation payments of vested stock option awards previously granted to certain members of management. As a

result, the Company reduced deferred tax liability and goodwill by approximately $18 million. The Company evaluated this item in relation to the prior interim periods presented and determined
that this balance sheet adjustment is immaterial to the Companys financial statements. On December 10, 2010, the Company completed the purchase of substantially all the assets of Lisacs and 100% of the capital stock of Tire
Wholesalers. As a result, the Company recorded $0.8 million of goodwill in the fourth quarter of 2010. See Note 3 for additional information.

On December 18, 2008, the Company completed the purchase of all of the issued and outstanding capital stock Am-Pac pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement dated December 18, 2008.
During May 2010, the Company made a claim against the amount of purchase price held in escrow in the amount of $0.3 million and the remaining escrow balance of $9.5 million was released to the sellers, which resulted in an increase to goodwill of
$9.5 million.

During the first quarter of 2010, the Predecessor recorded an out of period adjustment to its financial
statements to correct an error related to the final adjustments recorded to goodwill upon the sale of its retail stores in fiscal 2009. Upon review of these adjustments, the Predecessor determined that $4.9 million previously recorded as goodwill
should have been recorded as customer list intangibles at the time of the sale of the retail stores. Consequently, the Predecessor has recorded an out-of-period adjustment related to the amortization of the customer list intangible and a non-cash
charge related to a single retail store that was shut-down. In aggregate, the out-of-period non-cash charge included in the first quarter of 2010 approximates $0.4 million and is included within selling, general and administrative expenses within
the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Predecessor evaluated these errors in relation to the periods in which they originated, the current period in which they were corrected, and the estimated income for the full fiscal year,
including the trend of earnings. Management believes these errors are immaterial to the consolidated annual financial statements.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested and reviewed annually for impairment during the fourth quarter
or whenever there is a significant change in events or circumstances that indicate that the fair value of the asset may be less than the carrying amount of the asset. All other intangible assets with finite lives are being amortized on a
straight-line basis or accelerated basis over periods ranging from one to nineteen years. Amortization of intangible assets was $33.0 million for the seven months ended January 1, 2011 for the Successor. The Predecessor recorded amortization of
intangible assets of $7.7 million in the five months ended May 28, 2010, $18.0 million in fiscal 2009, and $13.8 million in fiscal 2008. Accumulated amortization at January 1, 2011 for the Successor and January 2, 2010 for the
Predecessor was $33.0 million and $66.6 million, respectively.

the fair value of the Predecessors long-term senior notes at January 2, 2010 was $304.7 million. The fair value of the long-term senior notes was primarily based upon quoted market values.

ABL Facility

In
connection with the Merger, ATDI amended and restated its existing senior secured asset-backed revolving credit facility (ABL Facility). The borrowers to the ABL Facility are ATDI and certain of its subsidiaries. The ABL Facility
provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility of up to $450.0 million (of which up to $50.0 million may be utilized in the form of commercial and standby letters of credit), subject to borrowing base availability. Provided that no default
or event of default is then existing or would arise therefrom, the Company has the option to request that the ABL Facility be increased by an amount not to exceed $200.0 million, subject to certain rights of the administrative agent, swingline
linder and issuing banks with respect to the lenders providing commitments for such increase. As of January 1, 2011, the outstanding ABL Facility balance was $190.3 million. In addition, the Company had certain letters of credit outstanding at
January 1, 2011 in the aggregate amount of $7.8 million, leaving $238.9 million available for additional borrowings. The ABL Facility matures on November 28, 2014.

Borrowings under the ABL Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Companys option, either
(a) an Adjusted LIBOR rate determined by reference to LIBOR, adjusted for statutory reserve requirements, plus an applicable margin of 3.0% or (b) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (1) the prime commercial lending
rate published by the Bank of America, N.A. as its prime rate for commercial loans, (2) the federal funds effective rate plus 1/2of 1% and (3) the one month-Adjusted LIBOR rate plus 1.0% per annum, plus an applicable margin of 2.0%. The applicable margins under the ABL
Facility are subject to step ups and step downs based on average excess borrowing availability under the ABL Facility.

##### Table of Contents

The borrowing base at any time equals the sum (subject to certain reserves and other
adjustments) of:



| |  |  | 85% of eligible accounts receivable; plus
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------



| |  |  | The lesser of (a) 70% of the lesser of cost or fair market value of eligible tire inventory and (b) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value
of eligible tire inventory; plus
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The lesser of (a) 50% of the lower of cost or market value of eligible non-tire inventory and (b) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of
eligible non-tire inventory.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All obligations under the ABL Facility are unconditionally guaranteed by
Holdings and substantially all of ATDIs existing and future, direct and indirect, wholly-owned domestic material restricted subsidiaries, other than Tire Pros Francorp. Obligations under the ABL Facility are also secured by a first-priority
lien on inventory, accounts receivable and related assets and a second-priority lien on substantially all other assets, in each case of Holdings, ATDI and the guarantor subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions.

The ABL Facility contains customary covenants, including covenants that restricts the Companys ability to incur additional debt,
grant liens, enter into guarantees, enter into certain mergers, make certain loans and investments, dispose of assets, prepay certain debt, declare dividends, modify certain material agreements, enter into transactions with affiliates or change the
Companys fiscal year. If the amount available for additional borrowing under the ABL Facility is less than the greater of (a) 12.5% of the lesser of (x) the aggregate commitments under the ABL Facility and (y) the borrowing base
and (b) $25.0 million, then the Company would be subject to an additional covenant requiring them to meet a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0. As of January 1, 2011, the Companys additional borrowing availability under the
ABL Facility was above the required amount and the Company was therefore not subject to the additional covenants.

Senior Subordinated
Notes

On May 28, 2010, in connection with the consummation of the Merger, ATDI issued Senior Subordinated Notes
due June 1, 2018 (Senior Subordinated Notes) in an aggregate principal amount of $200.0 million. The Senior Subordinated Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 11.50% per annum. Interest on the Senior Subordinated Notes is
payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on December 1, 2010. The Senior Subordinated Notes will not be redeemable, except as described below, at the option of ATDI prior to June 1, 2013.
Thereafter, the Senior Subordinated Notes may be redeemed at any time at the option of ATDI, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days notice at a redemption price of 104.0% of the principal amount if the redemption date
occurs between June 1, 2013 and May 31, 2014, 102.0% of the principal amount if the redemption date occurs between June 1, 2014 and May 31, 2015 and 100.0% of the principal amount if the redemption date occurs between
June 1, 2015 and May 31, 2016.

Prior to June 1, 2013, ATDI may, at its option, on one or more occasions,
redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Subordinated Notes issued at a redemption price equal to 111.5% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, to, but not including, the redemption date,
with the net cash proceeds of one or more equity offerings; provided that:



| | (1) | at least 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Subordinated Notes remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption; and
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (2) | each such redemption occurs within 120 days of the date of the closing of the related equity offering.
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, at any time prior to June 1, 2013, ATDI may redeem all or a part of the Senior Subordinated Notes upon not less than 30
or more than 60 days notice at a redemption price equal to 100.0% of the principal amount of notes to be redeemed, plus the applicable premium (an amount intended to approximate a make-whole price based on the price of a U.S. treasury
security plus 50 basis points) as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, to, but not including, the redemption date, subject to the rights of holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.

##### Table of Contents

The Senior Subordinated Notes are unconditionally guaranteed by Holdings and substantially
all of ATDIs existing and future, direct and indirect, wholly-owned domestic material restricted subsidiaries, other than Tire Pros Francorp, subject to certain exceptions.

The indenture governing the Senior Subordinated Notes contains covenants that, among other things, limits ATDIs ability and the
ability of its restricted subsidiaries to incur additional debt or issue preferred stock; pay certain dividends or make certain distributions in respect of ATDIs or repurchase or redeem ATDIs capital stock; make certain loans,
investments or other restricted payments; place restrictions on the ability of ATDIs subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments to ATDI; engage in transactions with stockholders or affiliates; transfer or sell certain assets;
guarantee indebtedness or incur other contingent obligations; incur certain liens without securing the Senior Subordinated Notes; consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of ATDIs assets; enter into certain transactions with
ATDIs affiliates; and designate ATDIs subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries.

Senior Secured Notes

On May 28, 2010, in connection with the consummation of the Merger, ATDI issued Senior Secured Notes (Senior Secured
Notes) due June 1, 2017 in an aggregate principal amount at maturity of $250.0 million. The Senior Secured Notes were issued at a discount from their principal amount at maturity and generated net proceeds of approximately $240.7 million
after debt issuance costs (which represents a non-cash financing activity of $9.3 million). The Senior Secured Notes will accrete based on an effective interest rate of 10% to an aggregate accreted value of $250.0 million, the full principal amount
at maturity. The Senior Secured Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 9.75% per annum. Interest on the Senior Secured Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on December 1,
2010. The Senior Secured Notes will not be redeemable, except as described below, at the option of ATDI prior to June 1, 2013. Thereafter, the Senior Secured Notes may be redeemed at any time at the option of ATDI, in whole or in part, upon not
less than 30 nor more than 60 days notice at a redemption price of 107.313% of the principal amount if the redemption date occurs between June 1, 2013 and May 31, 2014, 104.875% of the principal amount if the redemption date occurs between
June 1, 2014 and May 31, 2015, 102.438% of the principal amount if the redemption date occurs between June 1, 2015 and May 31, 2016 and 100.0% of the principal amount if the redemption date occurs between June 1, 2016 and
May 31, 2017.

Until June 1, 2013, ATDI may, at its option, on one or more occasions, redeem up to 35% of the
aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes issued at a redemption price equal to 109.75% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, to, but not including, the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds
from one or more equity offerings to the extent that such net cash proceeds are received by or contributed to ATDI; provided that:



| | (1) | at least 50% of the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption; and
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (2) | each such redemption occurs within 120 days of the date of the closing of the related equity offering.
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, at any time prior to June 1, 2013, ATDI may redeem all or a part of the Senior Secured Notes upon not less than 30 or
more than 60 days notice at a redemption price equal to 100.0% of the principal amount of notes to be redeemed, plus the applicable premium (an amount intended to approximate a make-whole price based on the price of a U.S. treasury
security plus 50 basis points) as of, plus accrued and unpaid interest, to, but not including , the redemption date, subject to the rights of holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.

The Senior Secured Notes are unconditionally guaranteed by Holdings and substantially all of ATDIs existing and future,
direct and indirect, wholly-owned domestic material restricted subsidiaries, other than Tire Pros Francorp, subject to certain exceptions. The Senior Secured Notes are also collateralized by a second-priority lien on accounts receivable and related
assets and a first-priority lien on substantially all other assets (other than inventory), in each case of Holdings, ATDI and the guarantor subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions.

Capital Lease Obligations

As of January 1, 2011, the Company
has a capital lease obligation of $14.1 million relating to a prior sale and leaseback of three of its owned facilities. All cash paid to the lessor is recorded as interest expense and the capital lease obligation will be reduced when the lease has
been terminated. The initial term of the lease is for 20 years, followed by two 10-year renewal options. The annual rent paid under the terms of the lease is $1.6 million

(paid quarterly) and is adjusted for Consumer Price Index changes every two years. The annual rent expense increased to $1.7 million on April 25, 2004 and to $1.8 million on April 25,
2006. Beginning on April 25, 2008, the annual rent expense increased to $2.0 million. There was no gain or loss recognized as a result of the initial sales transaction.

Supplier Loan

In October 2006, the Company entered into a loan and
purchase agreement with one of the Companys suppliers. Under the terms of the agreement, the supplier agreed to loan the Company the aggregate principal amount of $6.0 million (the Supplier Loan). Proceeds from the Supplier Loan
were received in the form of a credit against then current amounts due and payable to the supplier. All unpaid principal and interest on the Supplier Loan was required to be paid in full on or before December 20, 2010. The Company repaid the
Supplier Loan on that date through the use of its ABL Facility. During its term, interest under the Supplier Loan was payable quarterly, in arrears, at a rate of 9% per year. The agreement defined certain levels of annual commitments that the
Company was required to meet during each calendar year of fiscal 2006 through 2010. If the Company purchased all the required commitments, then the supplier would refund the interest paid by the Company for that calendar year. If the Company did not
meet these purchase commitments, a calculated portion, representing the percentage shortfall in the Companys committed purchase requirements, of the principal on the Supplier Loan would be due and payable during the immediately succeeding
calendar year. For the fiscal years ended January 2, 2010 and January 3, 2009, the Company met the purchase commitment requirements as specified in the agreement.

The Predecessor entered into interest rate swap agreements on October 11, 2005 (the
2005 Swap) and June 4, 2009 (the 2009 Swap) to manage a portion of interest rate risk associated with fluctuations in the interest rates on their variable rate debt. These interest rate swap agreements represented
contracts to exchange floating rate for fixed interest payments periodically over the life of the agreement without exchange of the underlying notional amount. The notional amounts of the interest rate swap agreements was used to measure interest to
be paid or received and does not represent the amount of exposure to credit loss.

The 2005 Swap covered a notional amount of
$85.0 million of the Predecessors $140.0 million Floating Rate Notes at a fixed interest rate of 4.79%. In accordance with accounting standards, the 2005 Swap was designated as a cash flow hedge and had met the requirements to be accounted for
under the short-cut method, resulting in no ineffectiveness in the hedging relationship. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of the 2005 Swap were deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets.

The 2009 Swap covered a notional amount of $100.0 million of the Predecessors variable rate indebtedness at a
fixed interest rate of 1.45%. The 2009 Swap had not been designated for hedge accounting treatment. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of the 2009 Swap were recorded as adjustments to interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements
of operations.

For the five months ended May 28, 2010 and the fiscal year ended January 2, 2010, the Predecessor
recorded $0.1 million and $0.9 million, respectively, to interest expense within the accompanying consolidated statements of operations based upon the change in the fair value for the 2009 Swap.

The pre-tax effect of the Predecessors derivative instruments on the consolidated statement of operations for the five months ended
May 28, 2010 and the fiscal year ended January 2, 2010 was as follows:

connection with the Merger, the Company paid $1.9 million to terminate the 2005 Swap agreement and $0.9 million to terminate the 2009 Swap agreement.

10. Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

The accounting standard for fair
value measurements establishes a framework for measuring fair value that is based on the inputs market participants use to determine the fair value of an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy to prioritize those inputs. The fair
value hierarchy is comprised of three levels that are described below:



| |  |  | Level 1Inputs based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Level 2Inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are
not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Level 3Unobservable inputs based on little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



70

##### Table of Contents

The fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and
minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs are obtained from independent sources and can be validated by a third party, whereas unobservable inputs reflect assumptions regarding what a third party would use
in pricing an asset or liability based on the best information available under the circumstances. A financial instruments categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair
value measurement.

The following table presents the fair value and hierarchy levels for the Successors assets and
liabilities, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of January 1, 2011:

The methodologies used by the Company to determine the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities at
January 1, 2011 are the same as those used at January 2, 2010. As a result, there have been no transfers between Level 1and Level 2 categories.

As of January 1, 2011, the Companys deferred compensation plan assets, held in a rabbi trust, were invested in approximately ten diversified and long standing mutual fund portfolios. The
Company reviews the fair value of its investment portfolio on a periodic basis to identify declines in fair value below the carrying value that are other-than-temporary. The Companys other-than-temporary assessment includes reviewing the
extent and duration of declines in fair values of investments, the nature of the holdings, and the sectors in which the portfolios are invested. Based on the Companys assessment of unrealized losses, the Company recorded an impairment charge
of $0.2 million during the fiscal year ended January 3, 2009. This charge is recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. No impairment charge was recorded by the
Successor for the seven months ended January 1, 2011 or for the Predecessor for the five months ended May 28, 2010 and fiscal year ended January 2, 2010.

11. Employee Benefits:

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation
awards in accordance with ASC Topic 718, which requires a fair-value based method for measuring the value of stock-based compensation. Fair value is measured once at the date of grant and is not adjusted for subsequent changes. The Companys
stock-based compensation plans include programs for stock options and restricted stock units.

Stock Options

The Predecessor adopted the 2005 Management Stock Incentive Plan (the 2005 Plan) in order to attract, retain and motivate
directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries. The 2005 Plan authorized the issuance of up to 190,857 shares of voting common stock under terms and conditions to be set by the Predecessors Board of
Directors. A committee appointed by the Predecessors Board of Directors administered the plan and had sole authority to select those individuals to whom options may be granted and to determine the number of shares of the Predecessors
Series A Common Stock that would be issuable upon exercise of the options granted. Options granted under the 2005 Plan generally vested based on performance or the occurrence of specified events, such as an initial public offering or company sale.
Performance-based options vested at the end of each year based on the achievement of annual or cumulative EBITDA targets for the year. Options that vested on the basis of events such as an initial public offering or company sale did so only to the
extent that the initial shareholders earned a specified return on its initial investment in the Predecessors shares.

In October 2009, the Predecessor amended certain stock option agreements such that the number of unvested
stock options were reduced and the vesting performance targets for these unvested stock options were modified. This amendment was evaluated in conjunction with the accounting standard for stock compensation and management concluded that no
additional compensation expense should be recognized as a result of this modification.

In March 2010, Holdings board of
directors approved a discretionary vesting of certain previously unvested stock options. The average fair value of these stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model was $363.34. The following assumptions were used:



|                        |  |            |            |  
|----------------------- |  | ---------- | ---------- | -

|Risk-free interest rate |  |            | 1.26       | %
|Dividend yield          |  |            |           |  
|Expected remaining life |  |            | 2.25 years |  
|Volatility              |  |            | 44         | %

This discretionary vesting
was evaluated in conjunction with the accounting standard for modification of stock options. As the Predecessor did not have sufficient historical volatility data for Holdings own common stock, the stock price volatility utilized in the fair value
calculation is based on the Predecessors peer group in the industry in which it does business. As a result of this evaluation, the Predecessor recorded non-cash compensation expense of $5.9 million in first quarter 2010.

On May 28, 2010, as a result of the Acquisition, all Holdings stock options that were already vested were converted into the right
to receive the excess of $596.65 per share over the exercise price of each of the options. As a consequence, subsequent to the May 28, 2010 transaction date, all options to purchase previously existing Holdings common stock ceased to exist and
the existing stock option plans were terminated.

In August 2010, the Companys indirect parent company adopted a
Management Equity Incentive Plan (the 2010 Plan), pursuant to which the indirect parent company will grant options to selected employees and directors of the Company. The 2010 Plan provides that a maximum of 48.6 million shares
of common stock of the indirect parent company are issuable pursuant to the exercise of options. In August 2010, the Companys indirect parent company granted options under the 2010 Plan to certain employees of the Company to purchase
42.6 million shares of common stock of the indirect parent company. In October 2010, the Companys indirect parent company granted options under the 2010 Plan to certain employees and certain board members of the Company to purchase
1.9 million shares of common stock of the indirect parent company.

The average fair value of the options granted in August 2010 and October 2010 were both
$0.42 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. However, the fair value of a portion of the options granted to the Board of Directors in October 2010 was $0.41. The following assumptions were used:



|                        |  |             |           |   |              |  |           |              |  |  |           |

As the Company does not
have sufficient historical volatility data for Holdings own common stock, the stock price volatility utilized in the fair value calculation is based on the Companys peer group in the industry in which it does business. The risk-free interest
rate is based on the yield curve of a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bond on the date the award is granted with a maturity equal to the expected term of the award. Because the Company does not have relevant data available regarding the expected life of
the award, the expected life of the award is derived from the Simplified Method as allowed under SAB Topic 14.

Options granted under the 2010 Plan expire no later than 10 years from the date of grant and vest based on
the passage of time and the achievement of certain performance targets in equal installments over three or five years commencing on May 28, 2011. The fair value of each of the Companys time-based stock option awards is expensed on a
straight-line basis over the required service period, which is generally the three or five-year vesting period of the options. However, for options granted with performance target requirements, compensation expense is recognized when it is probable
that the performance target will be achieved.

Restricted Stock Units (RSUs)

In October 2010, the Companys indirect parent company adopted the Non-Employee Director Restricted Stock Plan (the 2010 RSU
Plan), pursuant to which the indirect parent company will grant restricted stock units to non-employee directors of the Company. The 2010 RSU Plan provides that a maximum of 0.8 million shares of common stock of the indirect parent
company may be granted to non-employee directors of the Company. In October 2010, the Companys indirect parent company granted RSUs under the 2010 RSU Plan to certain board members of the Company to purchase 150,000 shares of common stock of
the indirect parent company.

Deferred Compensation Plan

The Company has a deferred compensation plan for its top executives and divisional employees covered by the executive bonus plan to encourage each participant to promote the long-term interests of the
Company. Each participant is allowed to defer portions of their annual salary as well as bonuses received into the plan. In addition to employee deferrals, the Company makes contributions on behalf of its top executives and certain of the divisional
employees in varying amounts. The plan provides that an employee who becomes a participant on or before November 23, 1998, shall be fully vested in all amounts credited to such participants account. The plan provides that an employee who
becomes a participant after November 23, 1998 shall be at all times fully vested in elective deferrals into such participants account and, as to contributions made by the Company, shall vest at a rate of twenty percent (20%) per year
as long as such participant is an employee on January 1 of each year. The deferred compensation plan may be altered and amended by the Companys Board of Directors.

Effective January 4, 2009, the Company suspended contributions to the deferred compensation plan for fiscal 2009, but reintroduced them for fiscal 2010. The contributions made by the Company on
behalf of its employees were not material in fiscal 2010 and 2008. At January 1, 2011 and January 2, 2010, the Company has recorded an obligation in other non-current liabilities related to the plan of $2.5 million and $2.4 million,
respectively. The Company has provided for funding of the obligation through a Rabbi Trust, which holds various investments, including mutual funds and money market funds. The amount recorded in the consolidated balance sheets in other non-current
assets related to the Rabbi Trust is $2.5 million and $2.4 million at January 1, 2011 and January 2, 2010, respectively.

401(k) Plans

The
Company maintains a qualified profit sharing and 401(k) plan for eligible employees. All accounts are funded based on employee contributions to the plan, with the limits of such contributions determined by the

##### Table of Contents

Board of Directors. Effective January 1, 2002, the benefit formula for all participants was determined to be a match of 50% of participant contributions, up to 6% of their compensation. The
plan also provides for contributions in such amounts as the Board of Directors may annually determine for the profit sharing portion of the plan. Employees vest in the 401(k) match and profit sharing contribution over a 5-year period.

In conjunction with the acquisition of Am-Pac, the Company acquired and maintained a defined contribution 401(k) plan for employees of
Am-Pac who had previously qualified as to age and length of service. For the period from December 18, 2008 through January 3, 2009, the Company provided matching 401(k) contributions, although amounts were insignificant. Effective
January 3, 2009, participants were no longer able make elective contributions to this plan but could actively participate in the Company 401(k) plan described above. In addition, the Company did not provide any matching contributions to the
Am-Pac 401(k) plan during fiscal 2010. On December 20, 2010, the Am-Pac 401(k) plan was merged with the Company 401(k) plan.

Effective March 1, 2009, the Company suspended the match of participant contributions for the remainder of fiscal 2009, but reintroduced them for fiscal 2010. The amount charged to selling, general
and administrative expense for the Successor during the seven months ended January 1, 2011 was $1.2 million. The amount charged to selling, general and administrative expense for the Predecessor during the five months ended May 28, 2010
and the fiscal years ended January 2, 2010 and January 3, 2009 was $0.7 million, $0.4 million, and $1.7 million, respectively.

The Successors rent expense, net of sublease income, under these operating leases was $29.5 million
for the seven months ended January 1, 2011. The Predecessors rent expense, net of sublease income, under these operating leases was $20.0 million in the five months ended May 28, 2010, $47.9 million in fiscal year 2009, and $37.7
million in fiscal year 2008.

On March 27, 2002, the Company completed an agreement for the sale and leaseback of three
of its owned facilities generating cash proceeds of $13.9 million. The Company reports this transaction as a capital lease using direct financing lease accounting. As such, the Company recorded a $14.1 million capital lease obligation during fiscal
2002. See Note 8 for more information on this capital lease. Obligations under the Companys other capital leases are not material.

The Company remains liable as a guarantor on certain leases related to Winston Tire Company. As of January 1, 2011, the Companys total obligations, as guarantor on these leases, are
approximately $4.6 million extending over eight years. However, the Company has secured assignments or sublease agreements for the vast majority of these commitments with contractually assigned or subleased rentals of approximately $4.2 million. A
provision has been made for the net present value of the estimated shortfall.

Legal and Tax Proceedings

The Company is involved from time to time in various lawsuits, including class action lawsuits as well as various audits and reviews
regarding its federal, state and local tax filings, arising out of the ordinary conduct of its business. Management does not expect that any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Companys business or financial condition.
As to tax filings, the Company believes that the various tax filings have been made in a timely fashion and in accordance with applicable federal, state and local tax code requirements. Additionally, the Company believes that it has adequately
provided for any reasonably foreseeable resolution of any tax disputes, but will adjust its reserves if events so dictate in accordance with FASB authoritative guidance. To the extent that the ultimate results differ from the original or adjusted
estimates of the Company, the effect will be recorded in accordance with the accounting standards for income taxes. See Note 13 for further description of the accounting standards for income taxes and the related impacts.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of (a) temporary differences between
the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax reporting purposes and (b) operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. The tax effects of the significant temporary
differences that comprise deferred tax assets and liabilities at January 1, 2011 for the Successor and January 2, 2010 for the Predecessor are as follows:

As part of the Acquisition, the Predecessor generated substantial tax deductions relating to the exercise of
stock options and payments made for transaction bonuses and transaction expenses. The Successors consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2011 reflects a net non-current deferred tax liability of $269.3 million. Included in this amount
is an acquired non-current deferred tax asset of approximately $11.7 million, which represents the anticipated tax benefits that the Company expects to achieve in future years from such deductions. In addition, the Company also has an income tax
receivable of $9.6 million at January 1, 2011, which primarily relates to deductions that can be carried back two years for federal and state income tax purposes. The remaining net deferred tax liability primarily relates to the expected future
tax liability associated with the non-deductible, identified, intangible assets that were recorded during the purchase price allocation less existing tax deductible intangibles, assuming an effective tax rate of 39.3%.

At January 1, 2011, the Company had $28.6 million net operating losses (NOLs) available for federal tax purposes and
NOLs available for state tax purposes of approximately $38.7 million. The NOLs for state tax

purposes will expire between 2011 and 2026. Except as discussed below, the Company expects to utilize these NOLs prior to their expiration date.

Management has evaluated the Companys deferred tax assets and has concluded that certain deferred tax assets related to some of its
state NOLs do not meet the requirement of being more likely than not that they will be realized. As a result, the Company has established a valuation allowance against these deferred tax assets. Except for these state NOLs, the Company
has concluded that the realizability of the remaining deferred tax assets is more likely than not. Therefore, the Company has not established a valuation allowance against any of its other deferred tax assets. The Companys evaluation process
considered the historical and long-term expected profitability of the Company as well as existence of deferred tax liabilities, which will reverse in future periods. The Companys ability to generate future taxable income is dependent on
numerous factors including general economic conditions, the state of the replacement tire market and other factors beyond managements control. Therefore, there can be no assurance that the Company will meet its expectation of future taxable
income. Changes in expected future taxable income could lead to the Company recording an additional valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

At January 1, 2011, the Successor had unrecognized tax benefits of $2.2 million, of which $0.7 million
is included within accrued expenses and $1.5 million is included within other liabilities within the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The net amount of increase in unrecognized tax benefits as a result of tax positions taken for
acquisition costs during the current period was $1.4 million ($3.6 million gross). Of the Successors $2.2 million unrecognized tax benefits as of January 1, 2011, only $1.7 million is anticipated to have an effect on the Successors
effective tax rate, if recognized. In addition, of the Successors $2.2 million liability for uncertain tax positions, approximately $0.5 million relates to temporary timing differences.

During the next 12 months, management does not believe that it is reasonably possible that any of the unrecognized tax benefits may
decrease. During the twelve month period ended January 1, 2011, the Company accrued an additional $0.1 million of interest and penalties related to its uncertain tax positions, all of which is recorded as a component of the Companys
income tax provision in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

While the Company believes that it has
adequately provided for all tax positions, amounts asserted by taxing authorities could be greater than the Companys accrued position. Accordingly, additional provisions of federal and state-related matters could be recorded in the future as
revised estimates are made or the underlying matters are settled or otherwise resolved.

The Company files federal income tax
returns, as well as multiple state jurisdiction tax returns. The tax years 2007  2009 remain open to examination by the taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.

Holdings was authorized to issue shares of four series of common stock, each with a par value of $0.01 per
share, including Series A Common Stock, Series B Common Stock, Series D Common Stock and Common Stock. In connection with the Merger on May 28, 2010, each of the outstanding common shares of Holdings was converted into the right to receive cash
consideration of $596.65 per share (see Note 3 for further information). As of January 1, 2011, Accelerate Holdings Corp. owns 100% of Holdings issued and outstanding common stock.

During the seven months ended January 1, 2011, certain members of Holdings management and certain board members purchased common
stock in the Companys indirect parent company. In accordance with push-down accounting, the basis in these shares of common stock has been pushed down from the indirect parent company to Holdings. Accordingly, the Company recorded the basis in
these shares of $8.4 million in additional paid-in capital during the seven months ended January 1, 2011.

17. Related Party Transaction:

Transaction and Monitoring Fee Letter Agreement

Upon the closing of
the Merger, the Company entered into a transaction and monitoring fee letter agreement with TPG pursuant to which the Company retained TPG to provide certain management, consulting, and financial services to the Company, when and as requested by the
Company. The Company agreed to pay TPG a monitoring fee equal to 2.0% of adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and other adjustments (Adjusted EBITDA). The monitoring fee is payable in quarterly installments in arrears
at the end of each fiscal quarter. In the event of an initial public offering, sale of all or substantially all of the Companys assets or a change of control transaction, TPG is entitled to receive, on its request and in lieu of any continuing
payment of the monitoring fee, an aggregate termination fee of $12.5 million. For the seven months ended January 1, 2011, the Successor recorded $2.4 million in expense related to the fiscal 2010 monitoring fee which is included in selling,
general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

18. Subsequent Event:

On February 24, 2011, ATDI entered into two interest rate swap agreements (Swaps) used to hedge the Companys
exposure to changes in its variable interest rate debt. The aggregate notional amount of the Swaps is $75 million, of which $25 million will expire in February 2012 and $50 million will expire in February 2013. The counterparty to the Swaps is a
major financial institution. The Company recognizes all derivatives on the consolidated balance sheet at their fair value as either assets or liabilities. The Swaps do not meet the criteria to qualify for hedge accounting treatment; therefore,
changes in the fair value of the Swaps will be recognized in the consolidated statement of operations.

19. Subsidiary Guarantor Financial
Information:

The following condensed consolidating financial statements are presented pursuant to Rule 310 of
Regulation SX and reflect the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Predecessor for periods prior to May 28, 2010 and the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Successor for the period
May 28, 2010 through January 1, 2011.

As a result of the acquisition on May 28, 2010, the Company repurchased
and cancelled all of the outstanding Discount Notes, 2013 Notes and Floating Rate Notes. In addition, ATDI issued $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its Senior Secured Notes and $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its Senior
Subordinated Notes. The Senior Secured Notes and the Senior Subordinated Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by Holdings, Am-Pac, and Tire Wholesalers. ATDI, Am-Pac, and Tire Wholesalers are also borrowers and
primary obligors under the ABL Facility, which is guaranteed by Holdings. Tire Pros Francorp is not a guarantor of the Senior Secured Notes, the Senior Subordinated Notes or the ABL Facility.

Accordingly, the Company updated the guarantor structure as of May 28, 2010 which resulted in the following revised column headings:



| |  |  | Parent Company (Holdings),
| | - |  | --------------------------



| |  |  | Subsidiary Issuer (ATDI),
| | - |  | -------------------------



| |  |  | Subsidiary Guarantor (Am-Pac and Tire Wholesalers) and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Non-Guarantor Subsidiary (Tire Pros FranCorp).
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------

ATDI is a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings and Am-Pac, Tire Wholesalers and Tire Pros FranCorp are indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Holdings. As a result of the acquisition, all periods
presented have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the post-merger guarantor structure.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures



| | (a) | We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our filings under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the principal executive
officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, recognizes that any set of controls and
procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (b) | As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at a reasonable assurance level.

Changes in
Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

During the fiscal year ended January 1, 2011, there was no change in our
internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We are, however, currently implementing a conversion of our legacy computer system
to Oracle. We have already implemented the general ledger as well as the accounts payable, inventory and accounts receivable functions on Oracle but still must transition other key functions. We cannot be sure that the transition will be fully
implemented on a timely basis, if at all. If we do not successfully implement this project, our controls over financial reporting may be disrupted and our operations adversely affected. See Managements Report on Internal Control Over
Financial Reporting on page 45 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Director and Nominee
Experience and Qualifications

The Holdings Board and Accelerate Parent Board each believe that they should possess a
combination of skills, professional experience, and diversity of viewpoints necessary to oversee our business. In addition, the Holdings Board and Accelerate Parent Board believe that there are certain attributes that every director should possess,
as reflected in its membership criteria. Accordingly, the Holdings Board and Accelerate Parent Board consider the qualifications of directors and director candidates individually and in the broader context of its overall composition and our current
and future needs.

Among other things, the Holdings Board and Accelerate Parent Board have determined that it is important to
have individuals with the following skills and experiences:



| |  |  | Leadership experience, as directors with experience in significant leadership positions possess strong abilities to motivate and manage others
and to identify and develop leadership qualities in others.

| |  |  | Knowledge of our industry, particularly distribution strategy and vendor and customer relations, which is relevant to understanding our business
and strategy.

| |  |  | Operations experience, as it gives directors a practical understanding of developing, implementing and assessing our business strategy and
operating plan.

|Item 11. | Executive Compensation.
|-------- | -----------------------

Introduction

On April 20, 2010, Holdings, Accelerate Holdings Corp.,
Merger Sub and Investcorp International, Inc., as Stockholders Representative, entered into the Merger Agreement pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into Holdings, with Holdings being the surviving corporation of the Merger. As a result of
the Merger, Holdings became a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Accelerate Holdings Corp. and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Accelerate Parent, substantially all of whose outstanding capital stock is owned by investment entities affiliated
with the Sponsor. Holdings is the sole stockholder of ATDI.

Prior to the Merger, the compensation committee of the Holdings
Board was charged with establishing and reviewing our executive compensation program. Following the Merger, executive compensation and related decisions are made by the Accelerate Parent Board, which does not currently have a compensation committee.
In connection with the Merger, Accelerate Parent adopted a new equity incentive plan applicable to key employees, directors, service providers and consultants, as well as a restricted stock plan for non-employee directors. As discussed in more
detail below, our executive compensation program, and the philosophy underlying the program, did not otherwise change significantly as a result of the Merger.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Overview

This section
provides an analysis of our compensation program and policies, the material compensation decisions made under those programs and policies, and the material factors considered in making those decisions. This section also includes a series of tables
containing specific information about the compensation earned in fiscal 2010 by the following individuals, referred to as our named executive officers:



| |  |  | William E. Berry, President and Chief Executive Officer;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | J. Michael Gaither, Executive Vice President and General Counsel;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | David L. Dyckman, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer;

The discussion below is intended to help you understand the detailed information provided in those tables and put that information into
context within our overall compensation program.

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

Our overall goal in compensating executive officers is to attract, retain and motivate key executives of superior ability who are critical
to our future success. We believe that both short-term and long-term incentive compensation paid to executive officers should be directly aligned with our performance, and that compensation should be structured to ensure that a significant portion
of executives compensation opportunities is directly related to achievement of financial and operational goals and other factors that impact stockholder value.

Our compensation decisions with respect to executive officer salaries, annual incentives and long-term incentive compensation opportunities are influenced by: (i) our executives level of
responsibility and function, (ii) our overall performance and profitability and (iii) our assessment of the competitive marketplace. Our philosophy is to focus on total direct compensation opportunities through a mix of base salary, annual
cash bonus and long-term incentives, including stock-based awards.

We also believe that the best way to directly align the
interests of our executives with the interests of our stockholders is to make sure that our executives retain an appropriate level of equity ownership throughout their tenure with us. Our compensation program pursues this objective through our
equity-based long-term incentive awards.

These programs are continually evaluated for effectiveness in achieving our stated
objectives as well as to reflect the economic environment within which we operate. In this vein, recent events roiling the worlds economies provide a backdrop for the continued review of our compensation strategies. Accordingly, we adjusted
shorter term compensation and incentives to help manage through the difficult 2009 economic environment while at the same time addressing alternative long-term strategies to reward long-term success and execution. This included freezing all salaries
and compensation effective January 4, 2009, the first day of our 2009 fiscal year. The salary freeze continued for fiscal 2010 for our executive officers but has been discontinued for fiscal 2011.

|Retirement Benefits   |  | Our executive officers are eligible to participate in employee benefit plans available to our eligible employees, including both tax
qualified and nonqualified retirement plans.  The Deferred Compensation
Plan is a nonqualified plan comprised of a voluntary deferral program that allows the named executive officers to defer a portion of their annual salary and bonus and a noncontributory program that provides for certain contributions to be made on
behalf of certain executives by us according to a Board approved schedule. We suspended contributions to this plan for fiscal 2009, but reintroduced them for fiscal 2010. While our funds are set aside to fund this plan, they remain available to our
general creditors. |  | Provides a tax-deferred retirement savings alternative to certain eligible executives.

The use of these programs enables us to reinforce our pay for performance philosophy, as well as strengthen our ability to attract and retain highly qualified executives. We believe that this combination
of programs provides an appropriate mix of fixed and variable pay, balances short-term operations performance with long-term stockholder value, and encourages executive recruitment and retention.

Determination of Appropriate Pay Levels

Pay Philosophy and Competitive Standing

In general, we seek to provide on overall compensation package that rewards for performance above our targets. Our executive compensation package consists of salary, target annual bonus, and long-term
incentives, as well as additional benefits and perquisites. To achieve competitive positioning for the annual cash compensation component, we set base salaries to be competitive but provide high target annual bonus opportunities. Thus, our
compensation is focused less on fixed pay and more on performance-based opportunities, while still remaining competitive overall. Targeted annual cash bonus opportunities are based on, among other things, our budgeted financial goals and other
factors, which may fluctuate from year to year.

We also focus on the executives tenure, individual performance and
changes in responsibility as well as our overall annual budget goals. Additionally, we take factors such as changes in cost of living into account.

Base Salary

Historically, base salary levels have reflected a
combination of factors including the executives experience and tenure, our overall annual budget, the executives individual performance, and changes in responsibility. We

Chief Executive Officer participated with other senior management in preparing salary recommendations for the compensation committee, including that of the Chief Executive Officer. These recommendations are reviewed, modified and approved by the
compensation committee and submitted to the Holdings Board for final ratification. We expect the Accelerate Parent Board to continue to review salary levels annually using substantially the same factors as described above. We expect the Chief
Executive Officer and other senior management to continue to participate in preparing salary recommendations for presentation to the Accelerate Parent Board.

Base pay increases were not granted in either fiscal 2009 or fiscal 2010 to Messrs. Gaither, Dyckman, Brown or Marrett. Mr. Berrys salary was increased to $500,000 in connection with his
appointment as Chief Executive Officer in April 2009 to reflect the increased responsibilities and duties commensurate with that position. Mr. Berry did not receive a base pay increase in fiscal 2010.

Annual Incentive Plan

Our annual incentive plan, which we refer to as the annual incentive plan, provides our executive officers an opportunity to earn annual cash bonuses based on our achievement of certain pre-established
performance goals.

As in setting base salaries, we have historically considered a combination of factors in establishing the
annual target bonus opportunities for our named executive officers. Prior to the Merger, budgeted Indenture EBITDA was a primary factor, as target bonus opportunities were adjusted annually when we set our budgeted Indenture EBITDA goals for the
year. Indenture EBITDA refers to consolidated cash flow as defined in the indentures governing the Existing Notes outstanding prior to the Merger, subject to adjustment for acquisitions completed during fiscal 2009 by the Holdings Board
in its sole discretion. Consolidated cash flow was defined in the indentures governing the Existing Notes as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and certain other adjustments expressly permitted by the indentures. We did not
target annual bonus opportunities at any particular percentage of total compensation.

Prior to the Merger, once our
performance goals have been set and approved, the compensation committee then sets a bonus pool for all executives covered by the annual incentive plan, whose size is equal to a designated percentage of Indenture EBITDA actually achieved by us. No
bonus pool is funded if actual performance falls below 95% of the Indenture EBITDA goal. The pool grows pro-rata for actual performance between 95% and 100% of the Indenture EBITDA goal. Above 100% of the Indenture EBITDA goal, the pool grows by
approximately 40% of each incremental Indenture EBITDA dollar. The bonus pool was divided among participants in the annual incentive plan based on each participants designated percentage of the bonus pool, which percentages were established by
the compensation committee.

Payment under the annual incentive plan for fiscal 2010 was based on achievement of performance
goals relating to Indenture EBITDA, which we believe has a strong correlation with stockholder value and other key performance criteria. We set the Indenture EBITDA goals for fiscal 2010 bonus opportunities at levels that were intended to reflect
improvement in performance over the prior fiscal year, specific market conditions and better than average growth within our competitive industry. For fiscal 2010, the targeted bonus pool was $6.3 million, subject to adjustment, based upon an
Indenture EBITDA target of $123.8 million. In fiscal 2010, we achieved 108% of the Indenture EBITDA goal, which resulted in a total bonus pool paid of $12.7 million. The percentage of the bonus pool designated for each named executive officer for
fiscal 2010 was: Mr. Berry, 18.0%; Messrs. Gaither, Dyckman, Brown and Marrett, 6.4% each. Actual bonuses paid to the named executive officers are included in the Summary Compensation Table under the heading Non-Equity Incentive Plan
Compensation.

The annual incentive plan for fiscal 2011 is expected to be structured similarly to the plan for fiscal
2010 but to be based on the achievement of Adjusted EBITDA performance goals.

Stock Option Plans

Prior to the Merger, we had one stock option plan in effect, the 2005 Management Stock Incentive Plan, which we refer to as the 2005 Plan. The 2005 Plan was designed to attract, retain and motivate our
and our subsidiaries directors, officers, employees and consultants. Substantially all of the options authorized under the plan were granted with vesting schedules subject to certain performance-based goals. No annual grants of options under
this plan were included as a component of the named executives compensation plan.

In connection with the Investcorp
Groups acquisition of our operations on March 31, 2005, we acquired 372,888 outstanding options to purchase ATDI common stock in exchange for nonqualified options, which we refer to as the rollover options, to purchase 33,199 shares of
Holdings Series A Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share. All rollover options granted under the 2005 Plan were fully vested at the time of the Merger.

In connection with the Merger, the 2005 Plan was terminated and all outstanding options granted under the 2005 Plan were cancelled. Unvested options were cancelled. Holders of vested options with an
exercise price less than the per share merger consideration received an option cancellation payment equal to the difference between the per share merger consideration and the exercise price of the cancelled option.

On August 30, 2010, Accelerate Parent adopted the Accelerate Parent Corp. Management Equity Incentive Plan, which we refer to as the
2010 Plan. The 2010 Plan was amended and restated on October 14, 2010. The 2010 Plan is designed to promote the interests of Accelerate Parent and its direct and indirect affiliates and stockholders by providing key employees, directors,
service providers and consultants incentives to encourage them (i) to continue working for Accelerate Parent and its affiliates; and (ii) to work to improve Accelerate Parents growth and profitability.

The 2010 Plan authorized Accelerate Parent to issue options to purchase up to 48,600,000 shares of common stock of Accelerate Parent, or
Accelerate Common Stock. As of March 4, 2011, Accelerate Parent has granted 44,448,000 options to our key employees and certain directors. The named executive officers have received the following grants: 8,640,000 options to Mr. Berry,
4,860,000 to Mr. Dyckman, and 4,320,000 to each of Messrs. Gaither, Brown and Marrett.

Options granted pursuant to the
2010 Plan may be either (i) time-based or (ii) performance-based. In general, time-based options vest ratably on each of the first through fifth anniversaries of the grant date until 100% of the time-based options are fully vested and
exercisable, provided the participant remains continuously employed by us through each such vesting date. Each performance-based option vests ratably on each of the first through fifth anniversaries of the grant date if, as of the end of the most
recent fiscal year ending on or prior to each such anniversary, we have achieved the EBITDA target established for such fiscal year by the terms of the option. If the EBITDA target is not met for the relevant fiscal year, the performance-based
option remains outstanding until terminated and immediately vests upon (i) achievement of cumulative EBITDA targets for the fiscal year and the first fiscal year following that fiscal year; or (ii) the occurrence of a liquidity event in
which the Sponsor receives a cash return on its investment of at least 220%. As with the time-based options, the participant must remain employed through the vesting date in order to exercise performance-based options. Under the 2010 Plan, all
options, vested or not, expire on the tenth anniversary of their grant date unless otherwise provided.

Under the 2010 Plan,
upon termination of a participants employment for any reason, subject to the terms of the participants option agreement, all unvested options are forfeited and the vested portion of any options expire on the earlier of (i) the date
the participant is terminated for cause; (ii) 30 days after the date employment is terminated by the participant for other than good reason; (iii) 90 days after (A) the date the participant is terminated by the Company for any reason
other than cause, death or disability; or (B) the date employment is terminated by the participant for good reason; (iv) one year after the date the participants employment is terminated by reason of death or disability; and
(v) the tenth anniversary of the grant date for the options. However, if a participants

employment is terminated within two years of a change of control transaction either by us without cause or by the participant for good reason, 100% of the participants outstanding
time-based options become immediately vested and exercisable. In addition, the option grant agreements for each of the named executive officers provide that in the event of termination by us without cause or by the participant for good reason,
whether following a change of control transaction or not, (i) any time-based options that would have vested within six months of termination will become immediately vested on the termination date; and (ii) any performance-based options
that would have vested within six months of termination if the employee had continued to be employed will vest upon the date the applicable performance criteria are determined to have been achieved.

termination of employment for any reason other than for cause, the employee is entitled to receive (1) a basic termination payment equal to (i) his base salary earned through the date of termination and (ii) the previous
years bonus if the termination is after December 31 and before bonus has been awarded; and (2) continuation of health benefits for a specified period of time after termination of employment at the same rate that was paid by the
employee before termination of employment. In addition, if we terminate the employee without cause or if the employee resigns for good reason (each as defined in his employment agreement), then he is entitled to an additional
severance payment based on a multiple of his base salary and plan bonus. The employment agreements each contain confidentiality and non-compete provisions.

the Merger, for any vested options under the 2005 Option Plan with an exercise price per share less than $596.65, holders received an option cancellation payment for each share underlying the vested options equal to the difference between
$596.65 and the per-share exercise price. The directors of Holdings received aggregate option cancellation payments as follows: (i) $177,058 for Mr. Hardymon, (ii) $146,602 for Mr. Micali, and (iii) $18,482,953 for

Holdings board as of the date of the Merger.
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No other members of the Holdings Board received compensation for
their service as directors of Holdings. Following the Merger, all of the directors of Holdings, including Messrs. Hardymon, Hardie, Micali and Johnson, resigned their positions on the Holdings Board, as well as the board of directors or similar
governing body of any subsidiary of Holdings and all committees thereof. The current members of the Holdings Board are employees of Holdings and do not receive separate compensation for their service as directors of Holdings.

Accelerate Parent Board

For their service as members of the Accelerate Parent Board, each of James Farrell, Gary Kusin, James Micali and Carl Sewell (the Outside Directors) will receive an annual fee of $150,000 in
cash, payable in quarterly installments. Upon their appointment to the Accelerate Parent Board, each of the Outside Directors also received a one-time grant of options under the 2010 Plan to purchase 200,000 shares of Accelerate Common Stock at the
fair market value on the date of grant. These options vest in three equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant. In October 2010, we adopted the Accelerate Parent Corp. Non-Employee Director Restricted Stock Plan
(the Restricted Stock Plan). Each Outside Director receives an annual grant under the Restricted Stock Plan of restricted shares of Accelerate Common Stock valued at $50,000, with vesting to occur in two equal installments on each of the
first two anniversaries of the date of grant. Each Outside Director also received a one-time opportunity to purchase up to $1,000,000 in Accelerate Common Stock, at a per share price equal to the fair market value on the date of purchase. These
equity arrangements were to further align our Outside Directors interests with the interests of our stockholders. The members of the Accelerate Parent Board other than the Outside Directors do not receive separate compensation for their
service as directors of Accelerate Parent.

Payments Received by Directors
and Named Executive Officers in Connection with the Merger

None of our directors and none of our named executive officers
other than Mr. Brown and Mr. Marrett held any shares in Holdings at the time of the Merger. Mr. Brown and Mr. Marrett each held 2,364 shares of Holdings Series A common stock at the time of the Merger. Under the terms of
the Merger Agreement, in consideration for those shares, they each received $596.65 per share, which we refer to as the per share merger consideration, or $1,412,873.19 in the aggregate.

In connection with the Merger, holders of vested options under the 2005 Plan with an exercise price less than the per share merger
consideration received an option cancellation payment equal to the difference between the per share merger consideration and the exercise price of the cancelled option. Our named executive officers received aggregate option cancellation payments as
follows: (i) $12,321,516.67 for Mr. Berry, (ii) $5,893,159.71 for Mr. Gaither, (iii) $1,275,493.59 for Mr. Dyckman, (iv) $1,275,493.59 for Mr. Marrett, and (v) $1,275,493.59 for Mr. Brown. Our
directors received aggregate option cancellation payments as follows: (i) $177,057.95 for Mr. Hardymon, (ii) $146,602.42 for Mr. Micali, and (iii) $18,482,953.02 for Mr. Johnson. Mr. Dyckman also received a
discretionary cash bonus of $1.0 million in connection with the Merger.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

Prior to the Merger, the compensation committee of the Holdings Board was charged with establishing and reviewing our
executive compensation program. David Tayeh and Donald Hardie, neither of whom has ever been an officer or employee of ours or is otherwise a related party, served on the compensation committee during fiscal 2010. All compensation recommendations of
the executive committee were reviewed by and subject to approval of the full Holdings board. Following the Merger, executive compensation and related decision are made by the Accelerate Parent Board, which does not currently have a compensation
committee.

Indemnification of Officers and Directors

The articles of incorporation of Holdings and Accelerate Parent provide for the release of any person serving as our director from liability to us or our stockholders for damages for breach of fiduciary
duty and for the indemnification by us of any person serving as a director, officer, employee or agent or other authorized person to the fullest extent permissible under the Delaware General Corporation Law. We expect to enter into customary
indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers. In addition, we have purchased a directors and officers insurance policy covering our officers and directors for liabilities that they may incur as a result of
any action, or failure to act, by such officers and directors in their capacity as officers and directors.

board of directors, (d) each of our named executive officers, and (e) all of the named executive officers and directors as a group. We have 1,000 shares of common stock outstanding, all of which are owned indirectly by Accelerate Parent.
Share amounts indicated below reflect beneficial ownership, through Accelerate Parent, by such entities or individuals of these 1,000 shares of American Tire Distributors Holdings, Inc.

The amounts and percentages of shares beneficially owned are reported on the basis of SEC regulations governing the determination of
beneficial ownership of securities. Under SEC rules, a person is deemed to be a beneficial owner of a security if that person has or shares voting power or investment power, which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the
disposition of such security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any securities of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days. Securities that can be so acquired are deemed to be outstanding for
purposes of computing such persons ownership percentage, but not for purposes of computing any other persons percentage. Under these rules, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities and a person
may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities as to which such person has no economic interest.

Except as otherwise
indicated in the footnotes below, each of the beneficial owners has, to our knowledge, sole voting and investment power with respect to the indicated shares. Unless otherwise noted, the address of each beneficial owner is c/o American Tire
Distributors Holdings, Inc., 12200 Herbert Wayne Court, Suite 150, Huntersville, North Carolina 28078.

See Note 17 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion of our related party transactions. During fiscal 2010 and as of
January 1, 2011, all of our directors do not meet the standard of independence as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Management has evaluated all activities and transactions that have transpired with our directors and deem each
to be at an arms length and no more favorable than transactions that we would have entered into with an independent third party.
