PART I



|Item 1. | Business
|------- | --------

As used herein, and except
where the context otherwise requires, the terms Midas and the Company include Midas, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. References to fiscal years are to years ended December 30, 2006 (fiscal
2006), December 31, 2005 (fiscal 2005), and January 1, 2005 (fiscal 2004).

Background

Midas is among the worlds largest and most recognized providers of automotive aftermarket services with nearly 2,600 shops globally, leading
market positions in core retail service offerings and strong brand equity. Midas retail shops, which are operated by the Company, its franchisees and licensees, offer a comprehensive array of automotive repair and maintenance services. As of
December 30, 2006, there were 1,751 North American Midas shops located in all 50 U.S. states and nine Canadian provinces. The Company believes it is among the leaders in terms of market share in the U.S. automotive service industry (excluding
tires, collision parts and parts for heavy duty trucks). Midas enjoys strong brand recognition, demonstrated by a consumer awareness rate of over 90%, and high levels of customer loyalty through its lifetime warranty program. The Company also
believes that its real estate operations provide a unique advantage by allowing control over a majority of the retail sites operating under the Midas brand.

Midas has been engaged in the retail automotive repair business since 1954, and has granted franchises for and operated Midas shops since 1956. From 1972 to 1998, the Midas business was operated through a series of
companies that were controlled by Whitman Corporation (Whitman). Midas was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on August 29, 1997 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Whitman, and the assets of the Midas business were
transferred to Midas, Inc. On January 30, 1998, Whitman distributed all issued and outstanding shares of Midas to shareholders of record of Whitman stock (the Spin-Off), and Midas became an independent public company.

Midas principal executive offices are located at 1300 Arlington Heights Road, Itasca, Illinois 60143, and its telephone number is
(630) 438-3000. The Companys Internet address is www.Midas.com. Midas makes available, free of charge on or through its website, its annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and amendments
to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as soon as reasonably practicable after the Company electronically files such material with, or furnishes it to, the Securities and
Exchange Commission.

Industry Overview

Midas competes in the approximately $146 billion U.S. automotive aftermarket industry, which includes replacement parts (excluding collision parts and parts for heavy duty trucks), accessories, maintenance items, batteries and automotive
fluids for cars and light trucks. Approximately 58% of this amount is from the sale of installed parts, while 27% is from labor and 15% is from the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) market. Midas participates in the installed parts and labor segments
of the market. Midas does not participate in the DIY market.

Increased technological complexity and durability of vehicles have been the
dominant forces in the evolution of the automotive repair industry since the 1970s. As a result, the types of service providers, as well as the type and frequency of repairs being performed, have changed over time. The total number of service
outlets in the U.S. has been declining over the past 10 years. The largest decrease is attributable to a reduction in the number of local service stations offering automotive repair. As the number of service stations offering automotive repair has
decreased, more sophisticated service providers have emerged. The number of independent maintenance and repair shops and large automotive repair chains has increased. In addition, automobile companies and dealers are more aggressively pursuing
repair and maintenance business by separating automotive service operations from showrooms and offering more convenient service.

The increased technological sophistication of modern automobiles has also affected the type and frequency
of service needed over the lifetime of a vehicle. Vehicles are now assembled with more durable parts, such as stainless steel exhaust systems. At the same time, suspension parts such as shock absorbers and struts are now more technologically
advanced. As a result, the services performed over the lifetime of todays vehicles are more likely to be scheduled maintenance services and light repair work. Most automotive service providers have adapted to this change by broadening their
menu of services in order to offset the decline in revenue resulting from the improved durability of automotive parts.

Despite the
improved durability of todays vehicles, the Company believes that the U.S. automotive aftermarket is characterized by stable demand. Furthermore, the overall market is growing because of the increasing size and age of the countrys
automotive fleet, the increased technological complexity of vehicles leading to higher cost repairs and maintenance, and the generally increasing number of miles driven annually. In addition, recent industry statistics indicate that there is more
than $52 billion in neglected vehicle maintenance every year.

According to published industry information, the number of vehicles in use
in the U.S. has grown every year since 1992, primarily as a result of steady annual increases in new light truck sales. In addition, the median age of vehicles in use continues to increase. From 1990 to 2006, the median age of cars in use grew from
6.5 years to 9.2 years. As the warranties for aging vehicles expire, automotive aftermarket service providers should be well positioned to benefit from the needs of owners to have their vehicles serviced. The aging of the vehicle population benefits
the automotive aftermarket industry because older vehicles tend to require more maintenance and repair services.

Additionally, the
increase in the aggregate number of miles driven annually has increased the maintenance requirements of cars and light trucks. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, between 1990 and 2005, aggregate annual miles driven by cars and light
trucks increased 39% from 1.99 billion to 2.76 billion. While information for 2006 is not yet available, the Company believes the increased gasoline prices in 2006 may have caused an overall decrease in aggregate annual miles driven by light
vehicles. However, more time will be needed to determine whether the long-term growth trend has been permanently changed.

Company Overview

Midas operates in a single business segment with retail, supply chain and real estate operations in support of automotive service
shops. Retail operations consist of franchised and company-operated Midas shops in North America and licensed Midas shops in 16 other countries. Supply chain activities include providing value-added merchandising services to franchisees in which the
Company establishes relationships with vendors who distribute products and equipment directly to Midas shops. Real estate activities include the development, ownership and leasing of Midas shops in North America.

Midas retail locations had historically operated as under car specialists focused on the replacement of exhaust, brakes, and shocks and struts. As
recently as 1997, exhaust and brake repair services constituted 82% of Midas retail shop revenues in the U.S. market. As automobile manufacturers began to employ non-corrosive stainless steel exhaust systems in the mid 1980s, the average
life of an original equipment exhaust system began to increase from three years to over 10 years. As a result, beginning in the mid 1990s, Midas core exhaust replacement business began to experience sustained revenue declines. This
trend, combined with the increased technological complexity and durability of newer vehicles, has changed the nature of automotive repairs. Today, the services performed over the lifetime of a vehicle are more likely to be maintenance services and
light repair work.

In response to these trends, the Midas system began to broaden its service menu in 1999, with the purpose of
transforming itself from an under car specialist to a full-service automotive repair and maintenance provider, leveraging Midas strong brand name and nationwide presence.

##### Table of Contents

In addition to managing the global Midas retail system, the Company historically distributed brake,
shock, strut and other automotive parts to its dealers in North America through a network of automotive parts warehouses. Midas also manufactured and distributed exhaust products and equipment to Midas dealers and independent exhaust distributors.
However, the dramatic decline in the retail exhaust business coupled with the broadening services menu and the emergence of quick delivery parts suppliers caused retail auto service providers, including Midas dealers, to gradually reduce their
investments in parts inventories within their shops, preferring to source required auto parts only at the time the part was needed for a specific customer. As a result of these trends, the Companys revenue from the wholesale distribution of
parts declined and Midas wholesale distribution and exhaust manufacturing operations became unprofitable.

In 2003, Midas management
redirected the Companys strategic focus towards the core Midas retail operations. During that year, the Company shut down its network of parts distribution warehouses and outsourced parts distribution on behalf of Midas dealers in the U.S. and
Canada. In 2005, the Company ceased production at its Hartford, Wisconsin exhaust manufacturing facility and liquidated certain assets related to its exhaust manufacturing operation. During the first quarter of fiscal 2006, all remaining exhaust
inventory and equipment was sold and liquidated and the Companys last remaining distribution warehouse was closed.

With the
Companys exit from exhaust manufacturing and distribution complete, Midas is focused on the profitable growth of the Midas retail system. Management is committed to leveraging the strong Midas brand and the broad geographic presence of the
Midas system towards establishing Midas as the pre-eminent full-service automotive repair and maintenance network.

A further discussion of
Midas business activities and the ongoing transformation process follows.

Retail Auto Service Shops

The Midas system consists of nearly 2,600 shops operated by the Company, its franchisees and its licensees under the Midas brand, providing automotive
repair and maintenance services in the U.S., Canada, Europe, Australia, the Middle East, Latin America and the Caribbean. Midas believes it is the largest automotive aftermarket service retail franchise in the world, with 2,570 locations, of which
1,751 are located in the U.S. and Canada (hereinafter referred to as North America). Midas has locations in all 50 states and nine Canadian provinces. This results in substantial market coverage throughout North America and strong
credibility for Midas North American lifetime warranty program.

The following table sets forth the number of North American
franchised Midas shops, company-operated shops, and shops outside of North America, as of the end of each of the fiscal periods indicated:

Midas shops are generally located in free-standing buildings in high traffic areas with good
visibility and easy access to major roadways. The Company believes that its portfolio of real estate locations built over the past 50 years could not be easily replicated. Given the limited number of desirable repair shop locations and impediments
to opening repair shops resulting from zoning and building code restrictions, as well as landlord and developer requirements, entry into the automobile repair market on a large-scale basis is difficult.

The Company supports the Midas retail network with an annual advertising program that is one of the largest in the automotive aftermarket repair
business. North American franchisees pay Midas monthly royalties

of approximately 10% of retail sales. Midas is obligated to spend an amount equal to one-half of the royalty payments received from franchisees for
advertising placed during the calendar year in which the royalties are received or during the following calendar year. In addition, Midas incurs supplemental advertising costs, primarily related to its company-operated shops, that are included in
selling, general and distribution expenses. In fiscal 2006, total advertising spending was approximately $57 million.

In the U.S., Midas
has strong brand equity in the automotive repair category. In 2006, approximately 62% of U.S. retail system sales were in categories where the Company believes it has the number one or number two market position as shown by its internal estimates of
market share. According to Midas tracking studies, over 90% of consumers are familiar with the Midas brand name and Midas is among the leading brands mentioned of automotive repair providers.

An important feature of the Midas system is the requirement that the retail customer be provided a written lifetime warranty from Midas on certain
products (namely brake friction, mufflers, shocks and struts) that will be honored at any Midas shop throughout North America. Each Midas shop is required to honor such warranties in accordance with their terms and with policies as issued from time
to time by the Company. This ensures consistency throughout the Midas system.

The Company believes that its lifetime warranty program
provides a competitive advantage over other automotive repair companies and independent service shops, and the breadth of Midas geographic coverage makes it difficult to duplicate the Midas program. This program generates recurring business
from existing customers and promotes customer loyalty. The Company believes that many of its first-time customers choose Midas based upon the lifetime warranty program. In addition, significant portions of exhaust, brake, shock and strut jobs
performed at retail involve customers returning for warranty service. Importantly, warranty replacement work is profitable at the shop level as, in accordance with the terms of the warranty, customers are charged for labor plus other non-warranted
parts necessary for the warranty replacement. Additionally, many of Midas customers returning for warranty service choose to spend substantial incremental dollars on additional services. The Company believes that its presence in all 50 states
and nine Canadian provinces, coupled with the repeat business generated by its North American lifetime warranty program, can be leveraged to capture a larger percentage of automotive repair and maintenance services in segments other than exhaust,
brakes and suspension/steering.

From its inception in 1956 through 1959, Midas focused exclusively on replacement of exhaust systems. On a
national basis, Midas added shock replacement in 1960, brake repair in 1979 and alignment in 1988. Historical core business offerings included only exhaust systems, brakes, shocks and struts, steering and suspension. Midas estimates that the
potential market for these core offerings is only 12% of the approximately $146 billion U.S. automotive aftermarket parts and services industry.

Beginning in 2000, Midas implemented a New Midas strategy, which included the rollout of new service categories and a renewed focus on customer service. Under the New Midas program, Midas expanded its retail offerings to include general
repair, heat exchange products and climate control services. These New Midas categories more than doubled the size of Midas addressable market. Today, most Midas shops offer exhaust, brake, suspension, air conditioning, batteries and a wide
variety of other routine maintenance services. Since 1997, Midas U.S. exhaust sales at retail have declined at an annual rate of 9.8% on a same store basis, but this deterioration has been more than offset by the expansion of Midas
service offerings into the New Midas categories. Currently, New Midas services account for approximately 38% of system-wide retail sales. Midas business strategy is to continue to expand these service offerings in the future and to further
reposition the Midas brand as a source for total car care.

The broadening of retail service offerings has more than offset the continuing deterioration in
the exhaust replacement market. As a result, the average sales of a Midas shop have increased over the past five years. The average U.S shop sales were approximately $598,000 in 2001 and $638,000 in 2006. The Company believes that the Midas system
has the potential for substantial growth in retail sales.

Management is transforming Midas from a repair company that performs maintenance
services, to a maintenance company that performs repair services. The Company also believes that forming long-term relationships with customers through routine maintenance services will lead to an increase in repair revenues as Midas becomes the
most trusted professional and first choice for customers auto service needs.

Midas is working in concert with franchisees to
implement key retail initiatives in support of growing the maintenance services category and building long-term customer relationships. These initiatives are described in greater detail below.

Tires: In fiscal 2004, Midas successfully launched a major retail initiative to significantly expand Midas shop sales of tires and related tire
services. In support of this objective, the Company formed an alliance with Bridgestone-Firestone to distribute tires directly to Midas shops throughout North America. As a result, U.S. comparable shop sales of tires and related tire services
increased 40% in 2005 and increased an additional 13% in 2006. Currently, over 76% of the Midas shops in North America are consistently participating in the Companys program with Bridgestone-Firestone and the participation level continues to
expand. For the past two years, the total comparable shop sales performance of shops that actively participate in the Bridgestone-Firestone program has consistently exceeded the performance of shops not actively participating in the program. Going
forward, the Company believes that sales of tires and related tire services will be a significant component of future revenue growth for the Midas system. In fiscal 2006, the sale of tires and related tire services comprised 4.3% of total Midas
system sales in the U.S. Midas management expects that percentage to grow to 10% over the next several years.

Maintenance Services:
In fiscal 2005, the Company began the roll out of a series of initiatives designed to build sales in maintenance services and increase repeat customer business. The program includes the standardization of the Midas oil change service and vehicle
inspection process, providing all customers with suggested factory maintenance schedules and increasing the Midas shops focus and capabilities in fluid exchange services, which are an increasingly important component of factory scheduled
maintenance. Thus far, most Midas shops in North America have been trained in the execution of the new maintenance services program. During fiscal 2005, the Company launched its maintenance services program with a major national promotion, and the
Company rolled out a customer relationship management (CRM) marketing program. The CRM program utilizes direct marketing to generate more frequent shop visits from existing customers. In the past, such direct marketing efforts were
inconsistent and not well targeted. With the Midas CRM program, promotional offers are now directly marketed to customers based on specific customer needs and historical service activity. The Company believes its maintenance initiatives and CRM
program together represent a comprehensive approach to enhancing customer retention and increasing shop visit frequency, which are essential to driving the future growth in retail sales of the Midas system. In response to the Companys efforts
to

##### Table of Contents

build maintenance revenues, U.S. comparable shop sales of oil changes increased approximately 5.4% in 2006 in addition to a 16% increase in 2005. Currently,
maintenance revenues in the typical Midas shop comprise approximately 17% of total revenues, and management believes this categorys share of total revenue will expand significantly in the future.

Fleet Sales: Midas is in the process of implementing a comprehensive program targeting fleet vehicle maintenance services. The Companys new
fleet program includes sales and marketing initiatives targeted to both national and local fleets, standardized pricing, and an outsourced billing and collection solution to better enable dealers to manage fleet-related receivables. During fiscal
2006, more than 95% of the Midas dealers in the U.S. signed up for participation in this program and thus far more than 1,000 U.S. shops have been trained in the program. During 2007, the remaining U.S. shops will be trained and the full program
will be rolled out in Canada as well.

The Company believes that its national scope, high level of brand awareness, and broad-based
competency in automotive repair and maintenance services will enable the Company to successfully compete for fleet vehicle maintenance service business. Currently, fleet revenues from both national and local fleets currently represent only a small
but growing fraction of Midas total retail sales in North America. In the U.S., revenues from national and local fleet customers in 2006 were approximately 0.6% of total retail sales, but increased nearly 50% compared to the prior year.
Starting in fiscal 2007, the Company believes that fleet revenues will begin to meaningfully contribute to the growth of retail revenue in North America.

Image Update: In connection with Midas ongoing retail transformation described above, the Company has developed a major update to the Companys shop image. The new image program was based on
extensive customer research and incorporates changes to internal shop appearance and merchandising, as well as a significant redesign of the Midas shop façade. Midas management believes the new image will better showcase the Companys
expansion into maintenance services, enhance efforts to educate customers and significantly increase the visibility and curb appeal of the typical Midas shop. In order to encourage dealer acceptance of the new image program, the Company is offering
an incentive program to Midas dealers, which includes financial and project management assistance. As of the end of fiscal 2006, the new image had been rolled out to approximately 165 shops. By the end of fiscal 2007, the Company expects that a
majority of Midas shops throughout North America will have adopted the new shop image.

Future Growth of the Midas System in North
America

Midas believes that growing the system shop count is essential. New shops bring new franchisees into the system, and increase
the funds available for national advertising programs, benefiting all franchisees while helping to build the dominance of the Midas brand. Over the past decade, the Midas shop count in North America has declined as shop closings have outpaced new
shop openings. However, the Company believes its efforts to embrace new services and modernize the Midas business model have created a platform for the profitable growth of shop revenues in the future.

During the past two years, the Company has invested in the rebuilding of its franchise development capabilities. During fiscal 2006, the Company upgraded
its franchise development staff and significantly increased the scope of its franchise marketing programs in print and on the internet. As a result, inquiries into Midas franchise opportunities increased 99% in fiscal 2006, which was on top of a 52%
increase in inquiries during fiscal 2005. The Company, along with a major market planning consulting firm, expects to rollout a comprehensive update to its market development plans for North America during 2007. In order to encourage growth in shop
count, the Company currently offers a package of targeted incentives to current and prospective franchisees considering opening new shops. Furthermore, Midas believes the Company has a significant opportunity to grow the Midas system though the
conversion of independent service providers whose facilities and operating capabilities match the new Midas business model. Consequently, Midas has developed a package of incentives to promote independent shop conversions.

##### Table of Contents

During fiscal 2006, Midas opened 17 new shops in North America, compared to 11 shops opened during 2005.
As of December 30, 2006, Midas had taken deposits from current and prospective franchisees for 45 future locations compared to 30 at the close of fiscal 2005. With the implementation of the above-described franchise development programs, Midas
management believes that the Company will accelerate the pace of new shop growth in the future and move towards the Companys goal of meaningful growth in total North American shop count.

Franchised Midas Shops

As of
December 30, 2006, there were 1,685 North American franchised shops, which were located in all 50 U.S. states and nine Canadian provinces. Approximately 670 franchise dealers operate these shops, with only one dealer having more than 32 shops.
Over 60% of the franchised shops are owned and operated by dealers with five or fewer shop locations.

Midas franchisees are all subject to
the Midas Franchise and Trademark Agreement and are obligated to operate their shops in accordance with Midas standards and policies. In North America, franchisees are required to maintain a sufficient quantity of Midas brand and Midas
warranted productsprincipally mufflers, shock absorbers, struts and brake pads and shoesadequate to meet the public demand for these products and to promptly fill customers requests for replacement under the terms of various Midas
warranties. The Company makes Midas brand and warranted products and other automotive parts available to its franchisees through distribution agreements with certain automotive parts suppliers in the U.S. and Canada.

Midas supports the franchise dealer network with 30 district managers and six regional managers. Each district manager covers approximately 58 shops and
assists franchisees with operations execution, coordinates implementation of key retail initiatives, monitors compliance with franchise agreement parameters, and manages Midas training efforts.

A typical franchised Midas shop is approximately 4,000 square feet, has six service bays and generated annual revenues of approximately $642,000 in 2006.

Company-Operated Shops

The Company believes that owning and operating some Midas shops is an important element of a successful franchise system. Such ownership allows for the orderly transition of franchises, provides a valuable test-marketing platform for the
rollout of new products and services, enables the Company to upgrade underperforming locations and helps to accelerate the successful transition of the entire Midas system to the new business model. Upon acquisition of a shop, Midas typically
upgrades shop equipment, expands the services offered, installs new point-of-sale software, updates the shop to the new Midas image, upgrades the quality of technicians, and enhances local marketing efforts.

During fiscal 2006, the Company acquired six shops, re-franchised three shops and closed six shops. As of December 30, 2006, the Company owned and
operated 66 Midas shops in seven states, with the largest concentrations in Florida (35 shops) and Colorado (13 shops). Going forward, the Company intends to maintain a core group of company-operated Midas shop locations. From time-to-time, on an
opportunistic basis, Midas may acquire or re-franchise additional North American Midas shops.

The typical company-operated shop is staffed
with a manager, an assistant manager or shop foreman, and three to four automotive service technicians. The company-operated shop business is managed by a Vice President/General Manager, a regional operations manager and eight district managers.

The typical company-operated shop is approximately 4,000 square feet, has six service bays and generated annual revenues of approximately
$582,000 in fiscal 2006. The average revenues at company-operated shops are



7

##### Table of Contents

lower than the average franchised shop primarily due to the purchase of underperforming shops in Florida during the fourth quarter of 2001. These shops had
emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy at the time of acquisition and generated annual revenues substantially below the chain average.

International Operations

In October 1998, Midas sold its franchising and company-operated shop businesses in Europe and
South America to Magneti Marelli, S.p.A., a member of the Fiat Group, for $100 million, and entered into a licensing agreement for the ongoing use of the Midas trademarks and know-how. As part of the licensing agreement, Magneti Marelli agreed to
pay Midas a fixed, U.S. dollar denominated license fee through 2007, after which the fee will be variable based upon a percentage of retail sales. Midas realized $9.7 million in international license fees under this agreement in fiscal 2006,
representing approximately 5.5% of consolidated revenue and 36.2% of operating income. Under the variable fee arrangement, that amount would have been reduced to approximately $4 million. In September 2004, Fiat Group sold the Midas franchising and
company-operated shop businesses in Europe and South America to Norauto Group S.A. of France, a major European automotive service provider. As part of this transaction, Norauto assumed the existing Magneti Marelli licensing arrangement with Midas.
In fiscal 2000, Midas completed the sale of its Australian operations, which consisted of both franchised and company-operated shops. Midas also has international licensees in Mexico, Honduras and in the Caribbean. The Company is seeking ways to
leverage the value of the global Midas brand through development of additional licensee relationships throughout the world.

As of
December 30, 2006, there were approximately 819 Midas shops located in Europe, Australia, the Middle East, Latin America and the Caribbean. The Company meets periodically with its international licensees to ensure compliance with licensing
agreements, communicate operating and marketing best practices and share the Companys vision for future growth and development.

For
financial information about the principal geographic areas in which the Company operates, see Note 13 of Notes to Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

R.O. Writer Software System

In
January 2001, the Company acquired the assets of Progressive Automotive Systems of Houston, Texas, a provider of automotive industry shop management software sold under the name R.O. Writer. The software is specifically designed to meet the needs of
the auto repair industry, and Midas continues to develop and enhance the system. The Company believes this software helps to promote operational consistency and excellence throughout the Midas system. As of December 30, 2006, the R.O. Writer
system was installed in more than 1,000 Midas shops, comprising approximately 58% of Midas system locations throughout North America. Additionally, the system has been installed in several thousand non-Midas auto service shops in the United States.

Supply Chain

The Midas system
in North America is supported by the Companys supply chain activities. Midas provides value-added merchandising services to franchisees by establishing relationships with vendors who distribute products and equipment directly to Midas shops.
Midas establishes and actively manages these relationships with parts vendors on behalf of Midas dealers in order to provide Midas dealers with ready access to high quality parts at favorable pricing.

Historically, Midas was much more directly involved in the supplying of automotive parts and equipment to Midas dealers. For most of its history through
late 2003, the Company supplied a broad range of automotive parts to Midas dealers in North America through its network of regional parts distribution centers and Parts Warehouse Inc. (PWI) quick delivery sites. In addition, the Company
manufactured exhaust products and equipment,



8



---

##### Table of Contents

which were distributed to Midas dealers and other non-Midas customers. During 2003, the Company outsourced the wholesale distribution of Midas brand products
and other replacement parts, closed all but one of the Companys regional distribution centers and disposed of its PWI quick-delivery distribution locations. Subsequently, in fiscal 2005, the Company entered into new exhaust supply arrangements
with its vendors, which allowed the Company to exit its unprofitable exhaust manufacturing and distribution business. As a result of these agreements, Midas ceased production at its Hartford, Wisconsin exhaust manufacturing plant during the third
quarter of fiscal 2005. Midas continued to operate its exhaust distribution warehouse in Chicago, Illinois during the first quarter of 2006 in order to provide Midas brand exhaust products to certain Midas dealers prior to their final conversion to
the new exhaust supply program. During the first quarter of fiscal 2006, all remaining exhaust inventory and equipment was sold and liquidated and the Chicago exhaust distribution warehouse was closed. As a result of the above transformation of the
Companys supply chain activities, Midas is no longer engaged in the manufacturing or distribution of parts to Midas dealers.

Under
the Companys new business model, Midas establishes relationships with large vendors of automotive replacement parts and arranges for the distribution of these products directly to Midas shops. Most dealers parts sourcing needs are
addressed through Midas relationships with major full-line automotive replacement parts suppliers such as AutoZone, Inc., Uni-Select Inc., the National Automotive Parts Association (NAPA) and CarQuest Corporation. These vendors
each provide Midas dealers with weekly delivery of replacement parts to Midas retail shops, as well as access to just-in-time parts delivery through a broad network of quick-delivery parts distribution sites across North America. The Company
believes its supply agreements with these companies enable Midas dealers to purchase high quality replacement auto parts at favorable pricing.

Under each of the above-described agreements, the vendor bills the purchasing shop directly. In addition, Midas receives royalties on the sale of most products sold by its preferred supply chain partners to Midas dealers. The royalties are
recorded as revenue with no offsetting cost of goods sold. These royalties are used to offset costs associated with the Midas lifetime warranty program.

In addition to the above described full-line parts supply arrangements, Midas has established relationships with certain other suppliers to support the more specialized sourcing needs of Midas dealers. Currently,
these include the Companys agreements with Bridgestone-Firestone, Interstate Battery and Shell Oil for the distribution of tires, batteries and bulk oil and chemicals, respectively. The Company also maintains relationships with key equipment
vendors to provide Midas dealers with cost-competitive access to shop equipment. Under most of these arrangements, Midas bills the franchise dealers for the product purchased from the vendor, and then the Company, in turn, pays the vendor for the
product. Midas records the sale of the product and holds the related accounts receivable. The Companys gross margins on these purchasing arrangements are very low, and the gross profit is primarily intended to cover administrative costs and
potential bad debts that might arise from the sale of these products. In the past, the sales of products under these purchasing arrangements represented a small percentage of the overall Midas wholesale product sales. However, with the
Companys closure of the traditional wholesale operations in fiscal 2003, the percentage of wholesale revenues attributable to these purchasing arrangements increased significantly, and the overall gross margin percent achieved by the Company
on wholesale product transactions has declined as a result. While the Company receives a small gross margin related to these purchasing arrangements, Midas also receives royalties on the ultimate sale of these products to consumers at retail in the
Midas system.

Real Estate

Midas Realty Corporation (Midas Realty), a wholly-owned subsidiary, leases real estate that is subleased to franchisees and owns real estate in the U.S. and Canada that is leased to franchisees. In circumstances where Midas does
not own or lease real estate for Midas shops, Midas Realty enters into contingent operating lease agreements or other forms of real estate control in order to ensure its ability to take possession of the real estate used by Midas shops in the event
of a franchisee termination. This allows the Company to maintain control of a shop location in the event of a franchisee termination and prevents re-branding of a location to a competitive

##### Table of Contents

branded repair facility or an independent repair facility. As of December 30, 2006, Midas owned 225 retail locations, leased 483 locations and used
other forms of real estate control over an additional 721 locations. This provides effective control over 1,429 of the 1,751 Midas shops in North America, or approximately 82%.

The Company believes that its portfolio of real estate locations built over the past 50 years could not be easily replicated. Given the limited number of
desirable repair shop locations and impediments to opening repair shops resulting from zoning and building code restrictions, as well as landlord and developer requirements, entry into the automobile repair market on a large-scale basis is
difficult.

Franchises and the Midas System

Midas has developed a system for the establishment and operation of Midas shops that is used in franchised and licensed shops worldwide. This system includes site selection, shop construction and layout, equipment selection and
installation, purchasing and inventory control methods, accounting methods, merchandising, advertising, sales and promotional techniques, installation techniques, personnel training and other matters relating to the efficient and successful
operation of Midas shops and the maintenance of high standards of quality.

Midas, or its licensees, identify and qualify franchisees
through a well-organized recruitment program in each region of the world in which the Midas system operates. Franchisees are qualified based primarily upon a candidates financial suitability and operational experience, among other criteria.
Midas also considers a franchisees ability to work within the Midas franchise system. Each franchisee enters into a standard franchise and trademark agreement with Midas. The franchise and trademark agreement varies by country, but these
variances do not substantially alter the franchise arrangement. The following summarizes portions of the franchise and trademark agreement used in the U.S. (the Franchise Agreement).

Term and Fees; Estimated Costs; Royalty Payments. The initial term of the Franchise Agreement, as well as most Midas franchise and trademark
agreements throughout the world, is 20 years. The Franchise Agreement may be terminated by the franchisee upon thirty days written notice. In most instances, Midas retains, through real estate agreements between franchisees and Midas Realty
(described below), the ability to occupy a site in the event of a termination of the applicable Franchise Agreement in order to ensure that the site may continue to be operated as a Midas shop.

An initial franchise fee is charged upon execution of a Franchise Agreement. In opening a Midas shop, a franchisee makes additional expenditures relating
to fixtures, machinery and equipment and initial product inventory. Historically, none of the fees and expenses was financed by Midas and, with the exception of a portion of the initial franchise fee, none is refundable. In order to promote new shop
development, Midas is offering an incentive for new shops opened in North America during 2007. This incentive provides funding for a limited amount of equipment and leasehold improvements, and allows the franchisee to pay the initial franchise fee
in four equal annual installments. Incentive programs like this may be offered in other parts of the world from time to time.

Franchisees
pay Midas monthly royalties based on a percentage of sales. As described more fully below, Midas is obligated to spend an amount equal to one-half of the royalty payments it receives for advertising.

Realty Agreements. Since the mid-1970s, Midas has required each U.S. franchisee to enter into an agreement with Midas Realty giving Midas Realty
the ability to occupy a site in the event of a termination of the related Franchise Agreement. This ensures that the site may continue to be operated as a Midas shop if Midas chooses. The agreement with Midas Realty remains in effect throughout the
term of the related Franchise Agreement. In the instance when Midas Realty owns the real estate or has the primary lease on a Midas shop, the franchisee is required to lease or sublease the Midas shop from Midas Realty. If the franchisee owns the
real estate, the franchisee is required to provide Midas with real estate control through one of two alternative means.



10



---

##### Table of Contents

The first alternative provides for the lease of the premises from the franchisee to Midas Realty, and Midas Realty in turn leases the premises back to the
franchisee. So long as the franchisee continues to be both the landowner and the franchisee of that shop, no rent is exchanged between the franchisee and Midas Realty. If the real estate is sold to a third party or if the franchised Midas shop is
sold to a new franchisee to whom the sublease is assigned, Midas Realty will then collect rent from the franchisee and pay rent to the landowner. Under the second alternative, the franchisee enters into a conditional option to lease with Midas
Realty that grants Midas Realty the option to lease the premises in the event that the related Franchise Agreement is terminated. If the franchisee leases the real estate upon which the Midas shop is located from a third party, Midas requires that
the franchisee grant to Midas Realty a conditional assignment of the lease to take effect upon the termination of the related Franchise Agreement. Approximately 82% of existing North American franchised Midas shops are subject to various forms of
real estate agreements with Midas. See Note 8 of Notes to Financial Statements.

Sites and Site Selection. Midas assists U.S.
franchisee candidates in identifying and developing a site on which a Midas shop will be constructed. Midas may also approve or disapprove of a site identified by the candidate. Midas approves a particular site based upon a review of the demographic
characteristics of the site, traffic counts and patterns, population patterns, income statistics, parking, competition, proximity of other businesses and other commercial criteria.

Training. Franchisees are required to complete the Midas initial training program. The first part of the program includes approximately two weeks
observing a franchised Midas shop in operation as well as development of a business plan and a competitive assessment. The second part of the initial training program is held at a Midas training center and consists of two weeks of classroom
instruction. The training process concludes with at least one week of customized training in the field. Supplemental training sessions are also offered by Midas at certain regional facilities and online. Midas also makes training materials available
and conducts training seminars in the field.

Machinery, Fixtures, Inventory and Other Goods. Midas recommends shop equipment such
as lifts, tire and alignment equipment, lathes, racking and tools necessary to outfit a Midas shop for operation, which can be purchased from Midas or from other sources. In North America, franchisees are required to maintain a sufficient quantity
of Midas brand and Midas warranted productsprincipally mufflers, shock absorbers, struts and brake pads and shoesadequate to meet the public demand for these products and to promptly fill customers requests for replacement under
the terms of various Midas warranties. Midas makes these products available to franchisees primarily through its distribution agreements with AutoZone in the U.S. and Uni-Select in Canada.

Warranty Program. An important feature of the Midas system is the requirement that the retail customer be provided a written warranty from Midas
on certain Midas products that will be honored at all Midas shops. Each Midas shop is required to honor such warranties in accordance with their terms and with policies issued from time to time by Midas.

Advertising. Midas is obligated to spend an amount equal to one-half of the royalty payments it receives from franchisees for advertising placed
during the calendar year the royalties are received or during the following calendar year. Midas directs all use of advertising funds, and all decisions regarding the creative concepts and materials used, whether national, regional or local
advertising will be used, the particular media and advertising content, and the advertising agencies to be used. This includes a customer relationship management program that utilizes direct mail solicitations to increase customer shop visit
frequency. Midas incurs additional advertising costs that are included in its selling, general and administrative expenses.

Shop
Management Software.Midas offers R.O. Writer shop management software to its U.S. dealers through its wholly-owned subsidiary Progressive Automotive Systems. The software is specifically designed to meet the needs of the auto repair industry,
and Midas continues to develop and enhance the software. Midas offers the software and associated ongoing support to its dealers in exchange for a monthly fee. As of December 30, 2006, the software had been installed in more than 1,000 Midas
shops in the U.S.

International Midas Dealers Association. The International Midas Dealers Association (the
IMDA) is an independent association of Midas franchisees. Approximately 58% of the Midas franchised locations in North America have membership in the IMDA. Midas management communicates on a regular basis with IMDA representatives
and various IMDA committees to solicit franchisee input on various matters affecting the Midas system.

Proprietary Information

Midas holds various patents, trademarks, trade names and copyrights, none of which, other than the Midas name, is considered by Midas to be material to
its financial condition and results of operations. Midas vigorously defends the Midas name throughout the world, and the name is registered as a trademark in approximately 95 countries in addition to the U.S. Midas also owns certain trade secrets
including product catalogs, price lists, training manuals and inventory systems.

The automotive repair industry is highly competitive and fragmented, and the number, size and strength of competitors vary from region to region.
Midas primary competitors include national, regional and local specialty chains, both franchised and company-operated, car dealerships, independent repair shops and service bays operated by mass merchandisers. Certain of these competitors are
well-capitalized, and a number of them have instituted expansion plans. Midas believes that competition in the industry is primarily based on customer service and reputation, shop location, name awareness and price. Midas believes that it generally
has a favorable competitive position with respect to each of these variables.

Customers

No customer accounted for more than 10% of the Companys total sales and revenues in fiscal 2006 or 2005.

Seasonality

Midas has historically experienced the
greatest demand for its services in the second and third quarters of the fiscal year. The seasonality is due to increased driving miles during the summer months, as well as more severe weather in the winter months in certain parts of North America,
which can make it more difficult for customers to travel to Midas shops to obtain services. In fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, the second and third quarters accounted for approximately 51%, 51% and 52%, respectively, of annual sales and revenues.

Excluding the effects of unusual items such as gains on asset sales and business transformation charges, the second and third quarters of
fiscal 2006 represented 55% of the Companys annual net income. In fiscal 2005, 61% of the Companys annual net income, excluding unusual items, was derived from the second and third quarters. In fiscal 2004, 75% of the Companys
annual net income, excluding unusual items, was derived from the second and third quarters. The Company expects the seasonality of its quarterly earnings will continue.

Regulatory Compliance

Franchising Matters. Midas is subject to a variety of federal and state
laws governing franchise sales and marketing and franchise trade practices. Applicable laws and regulations generally require disclosure of business information in connection with the sale of franchises. Certain state regulations also affect the
ability of the franchisor to revoke or refuse to renew a franchise. Midas deals with franchisees in good faith and strives to comply with regulatory requirements. From time to time Midas and one or more franchisees may become involved in a dispute
regarding certain aspects of the franchise relationship, including, among other things, payment of royalties, location of shops, advertising, purchase of Midas products by franchisees, compliance with Midas system standards and franchise renewal
criteria. There can be no assurance that compliance problems will not be encountered from time to time, or that material disputes with one or more franchisees will not arise.

Consumer Protection Matters. National automotive repair chains have been the subject of
investigations and reports by consumer protection agencies and the Attorneys General of various states. Publicity in connection with such investigations can have an adverse effect on the financial condition and results of operations of a company. In
addition to such investigations, state and local governments have enacted numerous consumer protection laws. Midas has instituted procedures, including uniform standards of service to be followed by all Midas shops, to improve customer satisfaction,
which also aids in regulatory compliance.

Environmental and Occupational Safety Matters. Midas shops handle used automotive oils
and certain solvents that are disposed of by licensed third-party contractors. As a result, Midas is subject to a number of federal, state and local laws designed to protect the environment. Midas, through its company-operated shops, is also subject
to regulation regarding the installation of catalytic converters. In addition to environmental laws, Midas is subject to the Federal Occupational Safety and Health Act and other laws regulating safety and health. Midas maintains programs to
facilitate compliance with these laws, the costs of which are not material to its financial condition and results of operations.

Employees

As of December 30, 2006, Midas had approximately 550 employees. None of the Midas employees is covered by collective bargaining
agreements. Midas considers its relationships with employees to be good. Midas franchisees hire and are responsible for their own employees.

Cautionary
Statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains (and oral communications made by Midas may contain) forward-looking statements that may be identified by their use of words like
plans, expects, anticipates, intends, estimates, forecasts, will, outlook or other words of similar meaning. All statements that address Midas
expectations or projections about the future, including statements about Midas strategy for growth, cost reduction goals, expenditures and financial results, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on Midas
estimates, assumptions and expectations of future events and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. Midas cannot guarantee that these estimates, assumptions and expectations are accurate or will be realized. Midas disclaims any
intention or obligation (other than as required by law) to update or revise any forward-looking statements.



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

In addition to
the factors discussed elsewhere in this annual report, the following are some of the important factors that could cause Midas actual results to differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements:

We rely on franchising for a substantial portion of our operating revenues. The failure of Midas franchisees to successfully operate stores consistent
with our standards would have a material adverse effect on our profitability.

We rely on franchising for a substantial portion of our
operating revenues. Therefore, our business is dependent on the ability of Midas franchisees to deliver high quality services. Midas franchisees are independent contractors and are not Midas employees. We provide training and support to franchisees,
but the quality of franchised store operations may be diminished by any number of factors beyond our control. We have been modifying our business model, which requires Midas franchisees to perform more technologically complex repairs and maintenance
than historically has been the case, and which requires greater investment in personnel and equipment. Consequently, not all Midas franchisees may successfully operate stores in a manner consistent with our standards and requirements or hire and
train qualified managers, technicians and other store personnel.

If they do not, our image and reputation may suffer, and system-wide sales and profitability could decline. A reduction in system-wide sales and
profitability could negatively impact the collectibility of receivables owed by franchisees to the Company.

The failure to comply with
applicable franchise laws could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We are subject to
federal and state laws and regulations, including the regulations of the Federal Trade Commission as well as similar authorities in individual states, in connection with the offer, sale and termination of franchises and the regulation of the
franchisorfranchisee relationship. Our failure to comply with these laws could subject us to liability to franchisees and to fines or other penalties imposed by governmental authorities. In addition, we may become subject to litigation with,
or other claims filed with state or federal authorities by, franchisees based on alleged unfair trade practices, implied covenants of good faith and fair dealing, payment of royalties, location of shops, advertising expenditures, franchise renewal
criteria or express violations of agreements. There can be no assurance that compliance problems will not be encountered from time to time, or that material disputes will not arise with one or more franchisees. Accordingly, our failure to comply
with applicable franchise laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We are a leveraged company that utilizes debt to fund its business.

We currently have substantial debt on our balance
sheet. The financing provided to us is subject to covenants that require us to maintain a certain net worth and maintain compliance with certain leverage ratios. If we do not perform in accordance with these covenants, the financial institutions
providing the funds have the option to withdraw their funding support. We cannot assure shareholders that we will remain in compliance with our debt covenants in the future. In addition, our current financing agreement expires on October 27,
2010. We cannot assure shareholders that we will be able to refinance our existing credit facility when it expires in fiscal 2010.

Virtually all of our revenues outside of North America are derived from the license fees of one customer. The loss or reduction of these fees would have a material adverse effect on our net income.

Virtually all of our revenues outside of North America are derived from our master licensee in Europe and South America (previously Fiat Group S.p.A. and
now Norauto Group S.A. of France). As part of our licensing agreement, we receive a fixed, U.S. dollar denominated license fee through 2007, after which our license fee will be variable based upon a percentage of retail sales. We realized $9.7
million in international license fees under this agreement in fiscal 2006, representing approximately 5.5% of our consolidated revenue and 36.2% of our operating income. Under the variable fee arrangement, that amount would have been reduced to
approximately $4 million. The loss of these licensing fees due to an adverse change in our relationship with Norauto or in Norautos business would have a material adverse effect on our net income.

The failure to successfully implement our new business model will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We are in the process of repositioning the Midas retail system in North America from a business model focused on the servicing and
replacement of mufflers, brakes, shock absorbers and struts to a model that encompasses a complete line of services, including climate control, electrical, chassis and maintenance services. While we have made substantial progress in broadening our
services, we have not yet been widely successful in developing ongoing relationships with our customers. As a result of the change in business model, our company-operated and franchised shops have had to make, and will have to continue to make,
investments in training, new personnel and equipment. As a result of the inability of certain Midas franchisees to adapt to the changing environment and successfully adopt the new business model, we have in some cases reacquired franchises to
prevent the closing of these shops. While we believe that the selective acquisition of certain franchises is



14

##### Table of Contents

consistent with the implementation of our business model, our long term success depends upon the ability of our franchisees to profitably implement the new
business model. While comparable shop sales have been maintained or improved at shops that have made the transition to the new business model, we cannot assure shareholders that the change in the long run will be successfully marketed, that
consumers will accept the new model or that the remaining shops will be willing to or can successfully make the transition to the new format.

We operate in a highly competitive market and the failure of Midas franchisees to effectively compete would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

The automotive services industry is highly fragmented and highly competitive. There are numerous direct competitors for our retail auto service shops.
Midas shops compete with national, regional and local specialty chains, both franchised and company-owned, car dealerships, independent repair shops and service bays of mass merchandisers. We believe the principal competitive factors in the markets
served by Midas shops are, in no particular order, customer service and reputation, shop location, name awareness and price. We also compete with businesses of the types noted above and with other parties in the sale of franchises. Competitive
factors include startup costs, royalty rates, franchisee support and the financial performance of existing franchises. Many of our competitors are large and have a substantially longer operating history than Midas. Many competitors have greater
financial resources than we possess. Our failure to compete effectively or the failure of individual Midas shops to compete effectively would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Advances in automotive technology could adversely affect demand for our maintenance and repair services.

The demand for the services offered by Midas shops could be adversely affected by continuing developments in automotive technology. Automotive
manufacturers are producing cars that last longer and require service and maintenance at less frequent intervals. For example, some manufacturers now recommend that consumers change oil at 10,000 mile intervals and replace spark plugs and other
engine components at 100,000 miles, a significant increase from the mileage intervals recommended for earlier models and those currently recommended by most manufacturers. In addition, the improvement in original equipment manufacturers parts
quality has in the past reduced, and may in the future reduce, demand for the products and services offered by our shops, thereby adversely affecting our Midas system retail revenues. Improvement in the quality of parts manufactured may extend the
useful lives and warranties of those parts and may reduce demand for Midas products and services by decreasing the frequency of replacement or refurbishment of those parts. In turn, longer and more comprehensive warranty programs offered by
automobile manufacturers and other third parties also could adversely affect the demand for services offered by Midas shops. We believe that a majority of new automobile owners have their cars serviced by their new car dealer during the period the
car is under warranty. Finally, advances in automotive technology require that we and our dealers incur additional costs to update our technical training programs and upgrade the diagnostic capabilities of Midas shops.

A downturn in the economy may delay or reduce consumer purchases of our products and services, which would adversely affect our revenues.

Many factors affect the level of consumer spending on automotive services, including, among others, general business conditions,
interest rates, gasoline prices, the availability of consumer credit and consumer confidence in future economic conditions. Consumer purchases of regular service interval maintenance generally are reduced during recessionary periods, when gasoline
prices are high, or when disposable income is lower.

A decline in the usage of automobiles would adversely affect demand for our
products and services.

While the number of automobiles registered in the U.S. has steadily increased, a sustained reduction in the
number of miles driven by automobile owners would adversely affect the demand for Midas products and services. For example, when the retail cost of gasoline increases, the number of miles driven by automobile owners typically decreases, which
historically has resulted in less frequent service intervals and fewer repairs.

The failure to comply with consumer protection regulations would have a material adverse effect on our
financial condition and results of operations.

National automotive repair chains have been the subject of investigations and reports by
consumer protection agencies and the Attorneys General of various states. Negative publicity in connection with such investigations could have an adverse effect on the financial condition and results of operations of our company. In addition, state
and local governments have enacted numerous consumer protection laws and the failure to comply with these laws would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We may be unable to successfully identify acquisition candidates or fail to effectively integrate acquisitions, which may adversely affect our results
of operations.

One of our strategies is to selectively pursue acquisitions of complementary franchising operations. Acquisitions
involve a number of risks including:



| |  |  | Failure of the acquired business to achieve the results we expect;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Diversion of our managements attention from operational matters;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Our inability to retain key personnel of the acquired business;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Risks associated with unanticipated events or liabilities;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The potential disruption of our existing business; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Customer dissatisfaction, franchisee dissatisfaction or performance problems in the acquired business
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If we are unable to integrate or successfully manage any business we acquire in the future, we may not realize anticipated synergies, which may result in
reduced profitability or operating losses. In addition, we expect to face competition for acquisition candidates, which may limit the number of our acquisition opportunities and may lead to higher acquisition prices. Moreover, acquisitions of
businesses may require additional debt financing, possibly necessitating changes to our financing arrangements and resulting in additional leverage. The realization of any or all of these risks described above could affect our reputation and our
results of operations.

We are subject to seasonality in our results of operations.

Our business is seasonal in nature. Historically, we experience lower revenues during the first and fourth quarters. In particular, severe weather in
winter months may make it difficult for consumers in affected parts of the country to travel to Midas shops to obtain services.

We must
commit resources to maintain and develop our brand. The failure to maintain the Midas brand would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

If we fail to continue maintaining and developing the Midas brand name, future revenues would be adversely affected. We believe that maintaining and
developing the Midas brand name is critical to its success and that the importance of brand recognition may increase as competitors offer products and services similar to our products and services. We incur substantial marketing expenditures to
create and maintain brand loyalty as well as increase awareness of our brand. If our brand-building strategy is unsuccessful, these expenses may never be recovered, and we may be unable to increase its future revenues or implement its business
strategy.

Failure to protect our intellectual property would reduce our competitiveness.

We rely on trademark, trade secret, patent and copyright law to protect our intellectual property, including the Midas brand name. We cannot be sure that
these intellectual property rights can be successfully asserted or will not be invalidated, circumvented or challenged in the future. In addition, the laws of some of the foreign countries in which our products and services are or may be sold do not
protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. Our failure to protect our proprietary information, and any successful intellectual property challenges or infringement proceedings against us, could make
us less competitive and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our inability to respond to consumer demands would adversely affect our results of operations.

If we were unable to respond to changes in consumer demands in a timely manner, it would adversely affect our revenues. Furthermore, if
we fail to make continuous and successful new product and service introductions, this could adversely affect our financial performance. Our success in general, and at Midas shops in particular, depends on our ability to identify, originate and
define automotive product and service trends as well as to anticipate, gauge and react to changing consumer demands in a timely manner. Our automotive products and services must appeal to a broad range of consumers whose preferences cannot be
predicted with certainty and are subject to rapid change. We may not be able to continue to develop appealing automotive products and services or meet changing consumer demands in the future. If we or our franchisees misjudge the market for
automotive products and services, we or our franchisees may be faced with excess inventories and sunk training and equipment costs for certain automotive products and services and missed opportunities for other products and services.

The failure to comply with extensive environmental regulation applicable to our business would have a material adverse effect on our financial
condition and results of operations.

Environmental compliance costs and liabilities could have a material adverse effect on our
financial condition. Our operations and properties are subject to increasingly stringent laws and regulations relating to environmental protection, including laws and regulations governing air emissions, water discharges and waste management. Such
laws and regulations can impose fines and criminal sanctions for violations and require the installation of costly pollution control equipment or operational changes to limit pollution emissions and decrease the likelihood of accidental hazardous
substance releases. Some of our current and former properties have been used as gas stations and dry cleaners. Accordingly, we could become subject to potentially material liabilities relating to the investigation and cleanup of contaminated
properties, and to claims alleging personal injury or property damage as the result of exposures to, or releases of, hazardous substances. In addition, stricter interpretation of existing laws and regulations, new laws and regulations, the discovery
of previously unknown contamination or the imposition of new or increased requirements could require us to incur costs or become the basis of new or increased liabilities that could reduce earnings and cash available for our operations.

The failure to attract and maintain an adequate supply of skilled labor would have a material adverse effect on our financial performance.

The provision of high quality services by Midas shops requires an adequate supply of skilled labor. In addition, the operating costs
and operating revenues of Midas shops may be adversely affected by high turnover in skilled technicians. Trained and experienced automotive technicians are in high demand. In addition, the expansion of our business model from muffler and brake
service to more complicated automotive repairs has required many franchised and company-operated shops to hire highly skilled full-service automobile technicians. Accordingly, our ability to increase productivity and revenues could be affected by
our inability to attract and maintain the employment of skilled technicians necessary to provide key shop services. If we or our franchisees are unable to attract and maintain the adequate skilled labor force necessary to operate these shops
efficiently, or if labor expenses increase as a result of a shortage in the supply of skilled technicians, our financial performance would be adversely affected.

Our results of operations may be adversely affected by acts of war or terrorism.

War or terrorist
activities or the threat of them may increase our cost of doing business or otherwise impact our financial performance.

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

Midas owns and leases
real estate in various communities throughout North America that it uses for company-operated shops or leases and sub-leases to franchisees. As of December 30, 2006, Midas owned 225 retail locations, leased 483 locations and used other forms of
real estate control over an additional 721 locations. This provides effective control over 1,429 of the 1,751 Midas shops in North America, or approximately 82%.

Midas leases office space in Itasca, Illinois, where its corporate headquarters are located. This lease runs through the end of fiscal 2008.

Midas owns one 185,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Hartford, Wisconsin, which was the site of the Companys former exhaust manufacturing
operation. The Company is currently seeking a buyer for the facility. The Companys central distribution warehouse for Midas exhaust distribution operation closed during the first quarter of fiscal 2006 and was returned to the landlord.
This facility had been owned by the Company but was sold and leased back on a short term basis from March 2005 through March 2006. The Company no longer leases any facilities in connection with its former exhaust manufacturing and distribution
operation or its traditional wholesale distribution operations.



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

Neither Midas nor any of
its subsidiaries are currently involved in any material legal proceedings. Midas has certain contingent liabilities arising from various pending claims and litigation related to a number of matters. While the amount of liability that may result from
these matters cannot be determined, the Company believes the ultimate liability will not materially affect the financial position or results of operations of Midas.

|(a) | In late 2002, the Company began a process to exit wholesale parts distribution and to redirect the Companys strategic focus towards the core franchising business. This
included outsourcing the Companys traditional wholesale business, the closure of 77 PWI locations, the rationalization of the company-operated shops operation and the closure of the Companys exhaust manufacturing and distribution
operations. These and other actions led to business transformation charges in the five most recent fiscal years. Business transformation costs for fiscal years 2004 through 2006 are described in Note 2 of Notes to Financial Statements.

Company Overview

Midas operates in a single business segment with retail, supply chain and real estate operations in support of automotive service shops. Retail operations consist of franchised and company-operated Midas shops in
North America and licensed Midas shops in 16 other countries. Supply chain activities include providing value-added merchandising services to franchisees in which the Company establishes relationships with vendors who distribute products and
equipment directly to Midas shops. Real estate activities include the development, ownership and leasing of Midas shops in North America.

Midas retail locations had historically operated as under car specialists focused on the replacement of exhaust, brakes, and shocks and struts. As recently as 1997, exhaust and brake repair services constituted 82% of Midas retail
shop revenues in the U.S. market. As automobile manufacturers began to employ non-corrosive stainless steel exhaust systems in the mid 1980s, the average life of an original equipment exhaust system began to increase from three years to over
10 years. As a result, beginning in the mid 1990s, Midas core exhaust replacement business began to experience sustained revenue declines. This trend, combined with the increased technological complexity and durability of newer vehicles,
has changed the nature of automotive repairs. Today, the services performed over the lifetime of a vehicle are more likely to be maintenance services and light repair work.

In response to these trends, the Company began to broaden its service menu in 1999, with the purpose of transforming itself from an under car specialist
to a full-service automotive repair and maintenance provider, leveraging Midas strong brand name and nationwide presence.

##### Table of Contents

In addition to managing the global Midas retail system, the Company historically distributed brake,
shock, strut and other automotive parts to its dealers in North America through a network of automotive parts warehouses. Midas also manufactured and distributed exhaust products and equipment to Midas dealers and independent exhaust distributors.
However, the dramatic decline in the retail exhaust business coupled with the broadening services menu and the emergence of quick delivery parts suppliers caused retail auto service providers, including Midas dealers, to gradually reduce their
investments in parts inventories within their shops, preferring to source required auto parts only at the time the part was needed for a specific customer. As a result of these trends, the Companys revenue from the wholesale distribution of
parts declined and Midas wholesale distribution and exhaust manufacturing operations became unprofitable.

In fiscal 2003, Midas
management redirected the Companys strategic focus towards the core Midas retail operations. During that year, the Company shut down its network of parts distribution warehouses and outsourced parts distribution on behalf of Midas dealers in
the U.S. and Canada. In fiscal 2005, the Company ceased production at its Hartford, Wisconsin exhaust manufacturing facility and began the process of liquidating all assets related to its exhaust manufacturing and distribution operation. In the
first quarter of fiscal 2006, Midas closed its last distribution facility, an exhaust warehouse in Chicago, Illinois.

With the
Companys exit from exhaust manufacturing and distribution completed, Midas is focused on the profitable growth of the Midas retail system. Management is committed to leveraging the strong Midas brand and the broad geographic presence of the
Midas system towards establishing Midas as the pre-eminent full-service automotive repair and maintenance network.

The Midas Business Transformation

During fiscal 2003, Midas developed and began to implement a plan to dramatically restructure the Companys operations and
re-direct the Companys strategic focus towards the Midas retail system. This plan was intended to transform the Company by improving profitability, enhancing the competitive position of the Midas retail system, strengthening the Companys
balance sheet and reducing future capital requirements. This transformation encompasses fundamental changes in the way Midas dealers are supplied with Midas brand products and other replacement auto parts, a re-definition of the service relationship
between Midas dealers and their customers, and a shift in the way the Company approaches its relationship with Midas franchisees.

During
2003, the Company outsourced the wholesale distribution of Midas brand products and other replacement parts, closed all but one of the Companys regional distribution centers, disposed of its PWI quick-delivery distribution locations through
sale or closure, closed or re-franchised 34 company-operated shops, and significantly reduced corporate administrative overhead. In connection with the Companys ongoing transformation, management determined that exhaust manufacturing and
distribution no longer represented a strategic fit for the Companys evolving retail-focused business model. In May 2005, the Company entered into new exhaust supply arrangements with its vendors, which allowed the Company to exit its
unprofitable exhaust manufacturing and distribution business. As a result of these agreements, Midas ceased production at its Hartford, Wisconsin exhaust manufacturing plant during the third quarter of fiscal 2005. Midas continued to operate its
exhaust distribution warehouse in Chicago, Illinois during the first quarter of 2006 in order to provide Midas brand exhaust products to certain Midas dealers prior to their final conversion to the new exhaust supply program. During the first
quarter of fiscal 2006, all remaining exhaust inventory and equipment was sold and liquidated and the Chicago exhaust distribution warehouse was closed. In connection with the above described business transformation activities, the Company recorded
business transformation charges of approximately $177 million from fiscal 2002 through 2005.

The Companys recently completed exit
from exhaust manufacturing and distribution has further reduced overall Company revenues and expenses compared to historical levels, but has increased the Companys operating margin. The Companys vacant Hartford, WI factory is the one
asset that remains from the former exhaust manufacturing and distribution operation. Midas is currently seeking buyers for this facility and expects to ultimately record a gain upon the sale of this facility.

The Midas business transformation, and the resulting changes to the way the Company does business,
continued in 2006. In the fourth quarter, the Company closed six unprofitable company-operated shops and re-franchised three shops. The Company recorded charges of approximately $1.9 million in connection with these actions. Additionally, in
connection with Midas ongoing retail transformation, the Company recently began the rollout of a major update to its retail shop image. The new image program incorporates changes to internal shop appearance and merchandising, as well as a
significant redesign of the Midas shop façade. Midas management believes the new image will better showcase the Companys expansion into new services, enhance efforts to educate customers and significantly increase the visibility and
curb appeal of the typical Midas shop. The Company expects a majority of Midas shops throughout North America to adopt the new shop image. In order to encourage Midas dealers to adopt this new image, the Company has offered to provide a subsidy of
up to $2,600 per shop for those franchisees who adopt the program prior to the end of fiscal 2007. Approximately $1.6 million in business transformation costs were recorded in fiscal 2006 in connection with this program and the Company expects to
record additional business transformation costs each quarter during 2007. Midas believes the total charges for franchised locations will be approximately $4 million.

The implementation of these business transformation initiatives has had the effect of substantially lowering overall Company revenues and expenses in fiscal 2006 compared to historical periods. Furthermore, the
implementation of the Companys strategic initiatives has resulted in the Company recording substantial business transformation charges to reflect the write-down of assets, the disposition of lease agreements, severance costs, and other related
expenses. The charges recorded in connection with the Companys business transformation process in fiscal years 2006, 2005 and 2004 are summarized in the following tables (in millions):

Building Shareholder Value in the Future

With the Companys business transformation primarily complete, Midas management is focused on building shareholder value through the profitable
growth of the Company. The first priority is building shareholder value through the profitable growth of the Midas retail system in North America. This includes both comparable shop sales growth at existing Midas locations and growth in overall shop
count. In addition, Midas management believes that the Companys brand name and system management expertise can be leveraged to generate incremental royalty revenue through growth of the Midas system around the world. This includes expansion
into China, which management believes is positioned to become the worlds largest automotive market. However, the Companys franchising business model generates substantial operating cash flow with relatively low ongoing capital investment
requirements. Furthermore, the future growth of the Midas retail system does not necessarily depend upon the Company making significant capital investments or adding additional corporate overhead. Thus, Midas management believes that it can also
create shareholder value by efficiently allocating capital towards complementary franchising business acquisitions and repurchasing the Companys stock. These strategies for creating shareholder value are described in greater detail below.

Growth of the Midas System in North America

The revitalization of the Midas retail system in North America has been and continues to be the core focus of the Companys business transformation. Growing sales at existing Midas shops remains the
Companys most important goal. Midas is focused on transforming the Companys relationship with its customers, thereby becoming less dependent upon one-time repair transactions and more focused on building long-term customer relationships.
To this end, Midas has developed and implemented several multi-year initiatives. In fiscal 2003, the Company re-defined the core services of the Midas system to encompass exhaust, brakes and maintenance services. This significantly expanded the
revenue potential of the core Midas system business model. In fiscal 2004, Midas successfully launched a major retail initiative to significantly expand Midas shop sales of tires and related tire services. The typical Midas shop in the U.S.
currently derives only 4.3% of its revenues from tires and related services, but management believes that the typical Midas shop can ultimately generate 10% of its revenue from the category. During fiscal 2005, the Company rolled out a series of
initiatives to enhance the Midas systems ability to build revenue from retail maintenance services. These initiatives included the standardization of the Midas oil change service and vehicle inspection process, providing all customers with
factory maintenance schedules and increasing the Midas shops focus and capabilities in fluid exchange services. As a result, maintenance services have risen to approximately 17% of total shop sales and management believes the growth in
maintenance services will continue. Most recently, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company launched a comprehensive program for increasing revenue from local and national fleet services. Currently, Midas generates only 0.6% of retail
revenue in the U.S. from fleet operations. Midas management believes the Companys nationally respected brand name and national presence will enable it to meaningfully grow retail revenues from fleet in the next two years.

In connection with Midas retail business model transformation, the Company has developed a major update to the Companys shop image. The new
image program was based on extensive customer research and incorporates changes to internal shop appearance and merchandising, as well as a significant redesign of the Midas shop façade. Midas management believes the new image will better
showcase the Companys expansion into maintenance services, enhance efforts to educate customers and significantly increase the visibility and curb appeal of the typical Midas shop. In order to encourage dealer acceptance of the new image
program, the Company is offering an incentive program to Midas dealers, which includes financial and project management assistance. As of the end of fiscal 2006, the new image had been rolled out to approximately 165 shops. By the end of fiscal
2007, the Company expects that a majority of Midas shops throughout North America will have adopted the new shop image.

With the Midas
system business model re-established, and the new Midas shop image roll out underway, the Company believes growth in new Midas shop count is possible. During the past two years, the Company has

##### Table of Contents

invested in the rebuilding of its franchise development capabilities. During fiscal 2006, the Company upgraded its franchise development staff and
significantly increased the scope of its franchise marketing programs in print and on the internet. As a result, inquiries into Midas franchise opportunities increased 99% in fiscal 2006, which was in addition to a 52% increase in fiscal 2005. The
Company, along with a major market planning consulting firm, expects to rollout a comprehensive update to its market development plans for North America during 2007. In order to encourage growth in shop count, the Company currently has in place a
package of targeted incentives available to current and prospective franchisees considering opening new shops. Furthermore, Midas believes the Company has a significant opportunity to grow the Midas system though the conversion of independent
service providers whose facilities and operating capabilities match the new Midas business model. Consequently, Midas has developed a package of incentives to promote independent shop conversions. Finally, the Company is also considering the
targeted acquisition of independent general auto repair operations as a means to accelerating growth in shop count.

The lead time for a
new shop development can be up to 24 months, thus the Companys efforts to open new Midas shops are only now beginning to become evident. During fiscal 2006, Midas opened 17 shops in North America, compared to 11 shops opened during 2005. As of
December 30, 2006, Midas had taken deposits from current and prospective franchisees for 45 future locations compared to 30 at the close of fiscal 2005. With the implementation of the above-described franchise development programs, Midas
management believes that the Company will accelerate the pace of new shop growth in the future and move towards the Companys goal of meaningful growth in total North American shop count.

Global Expansion of the Midas Brand

Midas
currently has licensees in 16 countries outside of the United States and Canada. Since the late 1990s, when the Company sold its European and Australian operations, further development of international markets has not been a significant
priority. Instead, over the past several years, Midas management has had to focus much of its efforts on the Companys business transformation process and the revitalization of the Midas retail system in North America. Nevertheless, Midas
international licensees have continued to invest in their operations and grow. Midas international shop count has grown every year since 1998, with the international shop count increasing from 616 shops in 1998 to 819 shops in 2006, even
though the number of countries in which the Company operates has not grown during that time.

Management believes the Midas brand has
significant global growth potential. In Europe, Midas licensee, Norauto Group S.A. of France, currently operates approximately 638 company-operated and franchised shops. Norauto owns the rights to the Midas name in most European countries and
certain countries in South America and Africa, but it currently operates in only 10 countries. Since it acquired the Midas franchise rights in late 2004, Norauto has grown the Midas net shop count in Europe by 3%. Furthermore, Norautos future
plans include shop count growth, through both acquisition and de novo development, and expansion into additional countries within continental Europe. Midas licensee in Mexico is also expanding its shop count.

Midas is seeking licensee partners to expand into new countries. Significantly, the Midas brand currently has no licensees in Asia. During late 2006,
Midas began the process of evaluating potential partners for expansion into China, and has engaged the services of the former head of Midas international development to help seek licensees in new countries.

Going forward, Midas management is committed to the global expansion of the Midas brand and believes meaningful growth potential exists in this area.

Acquisition of Complementary Franchising Operations

Midas management believes that the Company can add significant value for shareholders by acquiring complementary franchising operations. Midas management possesses strong core competencies in both

automotive aftermarket services and franchising. Furthermore, the Company believes it can successfully manage a substantial increase in shop count, whether
through growth of the Midas retail system or acquisition of another franchise operation, with limited incremental corporate overhead.

In
addition, as of fiscal year end 2006, Midas had an approximately $100 million net operating loss (NOL) carry forward. Midas believes it can create value for shareholders by successfully integrating accretive acquisitions that accelerate the
utilization of the NOL.

Given the above described factors, Midas has considered, and will continue to consider, potential acquisition
candidates.

Share Repurchases

The Midas business model generates significant operating cash flow with relatively low ongoing capital investment requirements. Furthermore, Midas believes that returning capital to shareholders through share buybacks enhances shareholder
value. As a result, in November 2004, the Company announced that the Board of Directors had authorized a share repurchase plan for the repurchase of up to $25 million in Midas stock. In May 2006, the Midas Board of Directors authorized a $25 million
increase to the share repurchase program. Since the inception of this repurchase plan through December 30, 2006, the Company has repurchased approximately $36.4 million in stock.

The Company intends to continue to repurchase shares from time to time in the open market and in privately negotiated transactions, depending upon market
and business conditions. The Company intends to fund stock repurchase activity with cash flow from operations and incremental borrowings.

Fiscal
Reporting Periods

Fiscal years 2006, 2005 and 2004 were each comprised of 52 weeks.

Results of OperationsFiscal 2006 Compared to Fiscal 2005

Total sales and revenues for fiscal 2006 decreased $15.8 million, or 8.2%, from fiscal 2005 to $176.7 million. Within the retail auto service business, royalty revenues and license fees decreased $0.9 million, or
1.4%, from fiscal 2005. This decrease was primarily driven by a 1% comparable shop decline in system-wide Midas retail sales, fewer shops in operation and the anniversarying of the one-time recognition of royalties from certain delinquent Canadian
franchises during fiscal 2005. These were partially offset by higher international royalties and a more favorable exchange rate on Canadian royalty revenue. Sales from company-operated shops increased $3.5 million, or 9.5%, above fiscal 2005. The
sales increase primarily reflects an increase in comparable shop sales of 2.2% and an increase in average number of shops in operation throughout the year due to the acquisition of six shops early in fiscal 2006, partially offset by the
re-franchising three shops late in the fiscal year. Revenues from real estate leases increased slightly to $36.2 million as higher revenues from scheduled rent increases and a more favorable exchange rate on Canadian rental income more than offset a
net reduction in the number of shops subject to real estate rental agreements and lower revenues from sales-based rental agreements.

Replacement part sales and product royalties decreased $19.3 million to $32.4 million from $51.7 million in fiscal 2005. The decrease primarily reflects a $21.4 million reduction in revenues from exhaust distribution as a result of the
Companys exit from that business. In addition, product royalty revenues declined as a result of reduced purchases of product from Company suppliers by Midas dealers and a scheduled reduction in the contractual royalty rates earned from both
AutoZone and Uni-Select. These declines were partially offset by an increase in sales of tires to Midas dealers through the Companys alliance with Bridgestone-Firestone.

##### Table of Contents

The Companys gross profit margin increased to 64.6% of sales in fiscal 2006 from 56.1% in fiscal
2005. During fiscal 2006, the Company recorded a business transformation charge to cost of sales and revenues of $0.2 million to write-down the value of inventory in connection with the closure of six company-operated shops. During fiscal 2005, the
Company recorded business transformation charges to cost of sales and revenues of $5.2 million to write-down the value of certain exhaust inventory to its net realizable value. Excluding these business transformation charges, the Companys
gross profit in fiscal 2006 was 64.7% compared to 58.8% in fiscal 2005. The year-over-year improvement in gross margin reflects a more favorable sales mix in which a higher percentage of revenues came from franchise royalties and company-operated
shops, and a lower percentage of revenues were derived from lower margin wholesale sales. In addition, warranty expense declined $1.7 million to $4.4 million, or 2.5% of total sales for fiscal 2006, compared to $6.1 million, or 3.2% of total sales
in fiscal 2005. The decline in warranty expense is the result of reductions in the warranty redemption and reimbursement rates for brakes and exhaust and lower retail sales of brakes and exhaust.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for fiscal 2006 decreased $3.6 million, or 4.0%, from
fiscal 2005 to $87.4 million. The decrease in expenses primarily reflects a $3.6 million reduction in operating expenses related to the distribution of exhaust and a $2.2 million decrease in administrative and franchising overhead expense. The
improvement in administrative overhead expense was achieved even as the Company incurred $1.5 million in expenses in connection with hosting the Midas 50thanniversary convention. These savings were partially offset by an increase of $2.2 million for stock option expense as a result of adopting new accounting rules regarding accounting for stock options
(SFAS No. 123R). No expenses for stock options were recorded in fiscal 2005.

During fiscal 2006, the Company recorded business
transformation charges of $3.1 million in selling, general and administrative expense. The charges reflect $1.7 million related to the closure of six company-operated shops, $1.6 million in connection with the Companys partial funding of the
rollout of a new shop image for Midas dealers and a credit of $0.2 million to reflect an adjustment to the reserve for business transformation charges resulting from lower than expected severance costs in connection with the Companys exit from
exhaust manufacturing and distribution. During fiscal 2005, business transformation charges of $7.1 million were recorded in selling, general and administrative expense primarily to reflect expenses for the Companys exit from exhaust
manufacturing and distribution.

During fiscal 2006, the Company recorded a $3.4 million gain on sale of assets. This included the
recognition of the remaining $1.8 million deferred gain from the March 2005 sale of the Companys Chicago warehouse, and a $1.6 million gain on the sale of equipment liquidated in connection with the Companys exit from exhaust
manufacturing. During fiscal 2005, the Company recognized gains on sale of $2.8 million, comprised of $2.7 million due to the partial amortization of a $4.5 million gain on sale of the Companys former Chicago exhaust warehouse (sold and
leased-back in March 2005), $0.8 million to reflect the sale of the Companys Huth exhaust equipment manufacturing operation and a $0.7 million loss on disposition of certain exhaust assets.

As a result of the above changes, operating income increased $14.5 million to $27.1 million in fiscal 2006 from $12.6 million in fiscal 2005. Excluding
the impact of the above described business transformation charges and gains on sale, operating income for fiscal 2006 was $27.0 million compared to $22.1 million for fiscal 2005. Excluding the impact of business transformation charges and gains on
sale, operating income margin increased to 15.3% in fiscal 2006 from 11.5% in fiscal 2005. The improvement in operating margin primarily reflects the elimination of operating losses in the Companys exhaust distribution operation and savings on
corporate overhead expense, which more than offset the impact of $2.2 million in additional expense incurred in connection with the adoption of SFAS No. 123R.

Interest expense decreased from $10.0 million in fiscal 2005 to $9.0 million in fiscal 2006 primarily as a result of a reduction in the amortization of financing fees and a lower average debt level.



27

##### Table of Contents

Other income increased from $0.9 million in fiscal 2005 to $1.2 million in fiscal 2006 due to greater
income from interest on dealer receivables and currency exchange gains. Other income consists primarily of interest income on overdue customer accounts and foreign currency exchange gains or losses.

The Companys effective tax rate was 45.8% in fiscal 2006 compared to 32.3% in fiscal 2005 and compared to the 2006 statutory tax rate of 39.0%. The
increase in the effective tax rate in fiscal 2006 was primarily due to the correction of an error in fiscal 2004 and 2005 income tax expense. The adjustment was made in fiscal 2006 because the impact on fiscal 2004 and 2005 was not material. Because
the Company has a significant net operating loss carryforward, this correction to the calculation of income tax expense for prior periods does not affect the amount of cash income taxes the Company paid in fiscal 2006. The fiscal 2005 effective tax
rate reflects a reduction from the Companys statutory rate as a result of the reversal of a tax contingency established in connection with prior asset sales.

As a result of the above items, net income increased $8.3 million from net income of $2.2 million in fiscal 2005 to net income of $10.5 million in fiscal 2006.

Results of OperationsFiscal 2005 Compared to Fiscal 2004

Total Company sales and revenues for fiscal 2005 decreased $5.0 million, or 2.5%, from fiscal 2004 to $192.5 million. Within the retail auto service business, royalty revenues and license fees increased $2.0 million,
or 3.2%, from 2004. This year-over-year increase was driven by a $1.7 million increase in Canadian royalties and license fees primarily due to revenue recognized from delinquent franchisees and a more favorable exchange rate, a 2.3% comparable shop
increase in system-wide Midas retail sales and higher international royalties, partially offset by a year-over-year decline in total shop count. Sales from company-operated shops increased $0.9 million, or 2.5%, above fiscal 2004. The sales increase
primarily reflects an increase in comparable shop sales of approximately 6.1%, which was partially offset by a net reduction of the number of shops in operation during the year compared to fiscal 2004. Revenues from real estate leases decreased
slightly to $36.0 million. The decrease primarily reflects a net reduction in shops subject to real estate rental agreements relative to fiscal 2004, partially offset by rent increases and a more favorable exchange rate on Canadian rental income.

Replacement part sales and product royalties decreased $8.0 million to $51.7 million from $59.7 million in fiscal 2004. Product royalties
reflect royalties earned on the sale of parts to Midas dealers by AutoZone, NAPA and CarQuest in the U.S. and Uni-Select in Canada. The decrease primarily reflects a $12.3 million decrease in revenues from exhaust manufacturing and distribution as a
result of the Companys exit from exhaust distribution in the U.S. during the second half of 2005. In addition, product royalty revenues declined as a result of Midas agreement to lower Uni-Selects royalty to match Canadian warranty
claims. These declines were partially offset by a $5.7 million increase in sales of products such as tires and batteries to Midas dealers through the Companys alliances with supply chain partners including Bridgestone-Firestone and Interstate
Battery. During both fiscal 2005 and 2004, replacement part revenues were comprised of the distribution of exhaust products to AutoZone, Inc. in the U.S., Uni-Select Inc. in Canada and to certain independent exhaust distributors, as well as sales
derived from the Companys coordination and administration of certain merchandise programs on behalf of Midas dealers, including tires, batteries, shop equipment and bulk oil.

The Companys gross profit margin, including business transformation charges of $5.2 million, decreased to 56.1% in fiscal 2005. Excluding business
transformation charges in both 2005 and 2004, the gross profit margin was 58.8% for fiscal 2005 up from 57.7% in fiscal 2004. The Companys gross margin benefited from a more favorable sales mix during fiscal 2005, in which a higher percentage
of revenues came from franchise royalties and company-operated shops, and a lower percentage of revenues were derived from lower margin wholesale sales (primarily exhaust and Bridgestone-Firestone tires). The Company resells Bridgestone-Firestone
tires to Midas dealers at a small mark-up that is primarily intended to cover the cost of administering the merchandise program. In addition, warranty expense declined $0.9 million to $6.1 million or 3.2% of total sales for fiscal 2005 compared to
$7.0 million or 3.5% of total sales in fiscal 2004. The decline in warranty expense is the result

##### Table of Contents

of the Companys vendors assuming responsibility for the warranty on certain products, lower retail sales of brakes and exhaust, as well as a reduction
in the warranty redemption and reimbursement rates for brakes. The positive impact of a more favorable sales mix and lower warranty expense more than offset the negative margin impact of reduced gross margins in company-operated shops and lower
margins from the liquidation of exhaust inventory.

During fiscal 2005, the Company entered into an agreement appointing AutoZone as the
exclusively endorsed supplier of Arvin brand exhaust products to Midas shops in the U.S. In December 2005, the Company announced a similar exhaust supply agreement in Canada with Uni-Select, establishing them as the exclusively endorsed supplier of
Walker brand exhaust products to Midas shops in Canada. In addition, during the year Midas entered into an agreement with ArvinMeritor to sell certain IPC-branded exhaust assets. As a result of these agreements, Midas ceased production at its
exhaust manufacturing facility in the third quarter of fiscal 2005 and closed its exhaust distribution operation in Chicago, Illinois in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. In connection with Midas exit from exhaust manufacturing and
distribution, the Company recorded inventory related charges of $5.2 million primarily to reduce its exhaust inventory, including raw materials, to its expected net realizable value. This write-down was recorded as a cost of sales.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for 2005 decreased $1.8 million, or 1.9%, from fiscal 2004 to $91.0 million. The slight decrease in expenses
primarily reflects lower costs incurred in the distribution of exhaust and lower expenses for company-operated shops as a result fewer shops and improved control over shop payroll expense. These savings were partially offset by the loss of sublease
rental income on excess space at the Companys corporate headquarters facility, higher operating costs in connection with the ongoing rollout to Midas dealers of certain retail initiatives and higher bad debt expense.

During 2005, the Company recorded a gain on sale of $0.8 million to reflect the sale of the Companys Huth exhaust equipment manufacturing operation
and $2.7 million to reflect the partial recognition of the gain from the March 2005 sale and leaseback of the Companys Chicago distribution facility. The remainder of the total $4.5 million gain from the sale of the Chicago distribution center
was recognized over the term of the leaseback agreement, which ended in April 2006. In addition, the Company recorded a loss on disposition of exhaust manufacturing equipment assets of $0.7 million. These transactions resulted in a net gain on sale
of assets of $2.8 million for fiscal 2005. In fiscal 2004, the Company recorded a gain on sale of $0.6 million in connection with the sale of a distribution facility in December 2004.

During 2005, the Company recorded charges of $7.1 million as part of selling, general and administrative expense related to the Companys ongoing
business transformation process. These charges included $4.7 million for severance for exhaust manufacturing and distribution employees, $1.1 million to reflect the impairment and abandonment of exhaust-related fixed assets, $0.8 million to reflect
a lower expected collection rate on receivables related to the exhaust business, $0.3 million of charges pertaining to the wind down of warehouse operations, $0.1 million related to the wind-up of an hourly pension plan in Canada, and $0.1 million
in other restructuring costs.

As a result of the above changes, operating income decreased $8.0 million to operating income of $12.6
million in 2005 from operating income of $20.6 million in 2004. Excluding the impact of the above described business transformation charges and gain on sale of assets, operating income for fiscal 2005 was $22.1 million compared to $21.2 million for
2004. Excluding the impact of business transformation charges and gain on sale of assets, operating income margin increased to 11.5% in 2005 from 10.7% in 2004.

Interest expense decreased from $12.7 million in 2004 to $10.0 million in 2005 as a result of lower interest rates on the Companys debt and a lower average total debt level than the prior year. The Company
refinanced its debt in October 2005 resulting in a net loss on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $0.3 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 due to the write-off of unamortized financing fees, which was partially offset by the

recognition of gains related to the Companys interest rate hedge. During 2004, the Company recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $4.7
million to reflect a write-off of the unamortized discount and financing fees related to a prior debt agreement.

Other income consists
primarily of interest income in overdue customer accounts and foreign currency exchange gains or losses. Other income increased from $0.4 million in 2004 to $0.9 million in 2005 due primarily to lower foreign currency exchange losses in 2005.

The Companys effective tax rate was 32.3% in fiscal 2005 compared to negative 13.5% in fiscal 2004. The current year effective tax
rate reflects a reduction from the Companys statutory tax rate of 38.7% as a result of the reversal of a tax contingency established in connection with prior asset sales.

As a result of the above items, net income decreased $1.9 million from net income of $4.1 million in 2004 to net income of $2.2 million in 2005.

The Companys cash management system permits the Company to make daily borrowings and
repayments on its revolving line of credit. This allows Midas to minimize interest expense and to maintain a cash balance close to zero. Midas cash and cash equivalents increased $1.0 million in fiscal 2006.

The Companys operating activities provided net cash of $28.3 million during fiscal 2006 compared to $13.8 million in fiscal 2005. Excluding cash
outlays for business transformation costs and changes in assets and liabilities, cash from operating activities increased from $27.3 million in fiscal 2005 to $31.5 million in fiscal 2006 as the increase in net income and deferred tax utilization
was partially offset by lower business transformation charges and depreciation and amortization in fiscal 2006. Cash outlays for business transformation costs were $5.8 million in both fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2005. Cash outlays for business
transformation costs in fiscal 2006 were primarily related to the Companys exit from the exhaust manufacturing and distribution business and the update of its retail shop image, while cash outlays in fiscal 2005 were primarily related to the
exit from exhaust manufacturing and distribution.

Changes in assets and liabilities swung from a $7.7 million use of cash in fiscal 2005
to a $2.6 million source of cash in fiscal 2006. The $10.3 million change was primarily due to a decline in inventories in fiscal 2006 as a result of the final liquidation of exhaust inventory, a decrease in accounts receivable due to the exit from
the exhaust manufacturing business, and an increase in accrued expenses in fiscal 2006. Accrued expenses had decreased in fiscal 2005.

Investing activities used $3.9 million of cash during fiscal 2006 compared to providing $6.5 million of
cash during fiscal 2005. Fiscal 2006 investing activities primarily consisted of $3.9 million in systems development projects, company-operated shop equipment additions and other capital expenditures, $1.8 million paid in conjunction with the
acquisition of six Midas shops and other assets from certain Midas dealers and $1.8 million in cash generated as the result of the sale of the remaining exhaust manufacturing assets and the re-franchising of three company-operated shops in the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. Fiscal 2005 investing activities primarily consisted of $3.4 million in systems development projects and other capital expenditures and $9.9 million in cash generated as the result of asset sales. The asset sales in
2005 included the sale and leaseback of the Companys remaining distribution facility in Chicago, the sale of the Companys Huth exhaust equipment manufacturing operation and the re-franchising of six company-operated shops.

Net cash used in financing activities was $23.4 million in fiscal 2006, compared to net cash used of $19.8 million in fiscal 2005. During fiscal 2006,
the Company reduced total debt by $5.9 million, increased outstanding checks by $1.8 million, paid $21.6 million to repurchase shares of the Companys common stock and received $2.3 million in cash from the exercise of outstanding stock
options. In fiscal 2005, the Company reduced total debt by $5.8 million, reduced outstanding checks by $3.0 million, paid $15.4 million to repurchase shares of the Companys common stock and received $4.8 million in cash from the exercise of
outstanding stock options.

On March 16, 2004, the Company entered into a three-year, $115 million credit facility to refinance its
existing credit facility. The facility was secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company. On November 5, 2004, the Company amended its March 2004 credit agreement to reduce the required principal amortization. The amendment also
eased the Companys restrictions on capital expenditures, allowed for stock repurchases and dividend payments, and reduced the interest rate by 50 basis points.

On October 27, 2005, the Company entered into a five-year, unsecured $110 million revolving credit facility that reduced interest rates, eliminated scheduled principal payments and significantly increased the
Companys capacity to make treasury stock repurchases and dividend payments. The credit facility was initially expandable to $140 million at the Companys discretion with lender approval. Interest on the revolving loan was initially
payable monthly at LIBOR plus 2.0%. The interest rate floats based on the underlying rate of LIBOR and the Companys leverage. This facility requires maintenance of certain financial covenants including maximum allowable leverage and minimum
tangible net worth.

On September 15, 2006, the Company amended its October 2005 revolving credit facility. The amended facility is
now expandable to $165 million at the Companys discretion with lender approval. As a result of the amendment, the Companys borrowing cost was reduced by 50 basis points. Currently, the interest rate on the Companys revolving loan
borrowings is priced at LIBOR plus 1.25%. In addition, the amendment eliminated restrictions on treasury stock repurchases, dividends and acquisitions.

In April 2004, the Company entered into an interest rate swap arrangement to convert $40 million in senior bank debt from a floating rate to a fixed rate by locking-in LIBOR at 2.76% for a three-year term. The
outstanding amount of the swap is reduced by $2.5 million each quarter until the end of the three-year term. As of December 30, 2006, approximately $13.8 million of this interest rate swap remained outstanding. In November 2005, an additional
$20 million in senior bank debt was converted from floating rate to fixed rate by locking-in LIBOR at 4.89% for a five year period with no scheduled reduction.

On November 9, 2004, the Midas Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program to begin in fiscal 2005 for up to $25 million of the Companys outstanding common stock. On May 9, 2006, the Midas
Board of Directors authorized a $25 million increase in the share repurchase program. The Company intends to repurchase shares from time to time in the open market and in privately negotiated transactions, depending upon market and business
conditions. The Company has paid approximately $36.4 million for shares acquired under this program since the buyback program was first initiated.

The debt, capital lease obligations and finance lease obligation payments shown above represent
principal payments required under those agreements. Additionally, the Company is required to make certain interest payments in connection with those obligations.

In addition to the amounts shown above, the Company currently has $5.8 million outstanding on standby letters of credit that expire in 2007. Additionally, the Company is contingently liable for a portion of loans made
to certain franchisees by a third party lender. As of December 30, 2006, the total outstanding loans under this program were approximately $0.8 million. In fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Company was required to pay $0.6 million, $1.2 million
and $0.8 million, respectively, to the lender under this program.

Additionally, Midas is due rental revenue in the amounts shown below
under sublease agreements on leased properties and rental agreements on owned properties:

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

In preparing the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management
must make a variety of decisions which impact the reported amounts and related disclosures. Such decisions include the selection of the appropriate accounting principles to be applied, the assumptions on which to base accounting estimates, and the
consistent application of those accounting principles. Due to the type of industry in which the Company operates and the nature of its business, and the Companys existing business transformation process, the following accounting policies are
those that management believes are most important to the portrayal of the Companys financial condition and results and that require managements most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make
estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

Valuation of Warranty Liabilities

Customers are provided a written warranty from Midas on certain Midas products purchased from Midas shops in North America, namely brake friction,
mufflers, shocks and struts. The warranty will be honored at any Midas shop in North America and is valid for the lifetime of the vehicle, but is voided if the vehicle is sold. The Company maintains a warranty accrual to cover the estimated future
liability associated with outstanding warranties. The Company determines the estimated value of outstanding warranty claims based on: 1) an estimate of the percentage of all warranted products sold and registered in prior periods at retail that are
likely to be redeemed; and 2) an estimate of the cost of redemption of each future warranty claim on a current cost basis. These estimates are computed using actual historical registration and redemption data as well as actual cost information on
current redemptions. An increase of one percentage point in the estimated percentage of warranted products likely to be redeemed in the U.S. would have the effect of changing Midas December 30, 2006 outstanding U.S. warranty liability by
approximately $4.5 million. A change in the estimated current cost of warranty redemptions of one dollar would have the effect of changing Midas outstanding U.S. warranty liability by $1.6 million.

Valuation of Receivables

The
Company records receivables due from its franchisees and other customers at the time the sale is recorded in accordance with its revenue recognition policies. These receivables consist of amounts due from the sale of products, royalties due from
franchisees and suppliers, rents and other amounts. The future collectibility of these amounts can be impacted by the Companys collection efforts, the financial stability of its customers, and the general economic climate in which it operates.
The Company applies a consistent practice of establishing an allowance for accounts that it feels may become uncollectible through reviewing the historical aging of its receivables and by monitoring the financial strength of its franchisees and
other customers. Where the Company becomes aware of a customers inability to meet its financial obligations (e.g. where it is in financial distress or has filed for bankruptcy), the Company specifically reserves for the potential bad debt to
reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount it reasonably believes will be collected. The valuation of receivables is performed on a quarterly basis.

Pensions

The Company has non-contributory defined benefit pension plans covering certain of
its employees. The Companys funding policy for the U.S. plan is to contribute amounts sufficient to meet the minimum funding requirement of the Employee Retirement Income Act of 1974, plus any additional amounts the Company may deem to be
appropriate. The Company accounts for its defined benefit pension plans in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 87, Employers Accounting for Pensions, and SFAS No. 158,
Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plansan amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R), which require that amounts recognized in the financial statements be determined
on an actuarial basis. Under SFAS No. 158 the amount recorded as pension assets or liabilities is determined by comparing the projected benefit obligation (PBO) to the fair value of the plan assets. Amounts recognized in accumulated other
comprehensive loss consist of unrecognized actuarial gains, losses, and prior service costs, net of tax. As of December 30, 2006, the $2.4 million prepaid pension cost, net of valuation reserves of approximately $2.9 million pertaining to the
partial wind-up of the Canadian Salaried Pension Plan and the full wind-up of the Canadian Hourly Pension Plan, was recorded in the Companys balance sheet as a $0.6 million prepaid asset and a $1.1 million accrued pension liability.

To account for its defined benefit pension plans in accordance with SFAS No. 87, the Company must make three main determinations at
the end of each fiscal year: First, it must determine the actuarial assumption for the discount rate used to reflect the time value of money in the calculation of the projected benefit obligation for the end of the current fiscal year and to
determine the net periodic pension cost for the subsequent year. For guidance in determining this rate, the Company looks at rates of return on high-quality fixed-income investments and periodic published rate ranges. See Note 9 of Notes to
Financial Statements for a listing of the discount rates used by year.

Second, the Company must determine the actuarial assumption for rates of increase in compensation levels
used in the calculation of the accumulated and projected benefit obligations for the end of the current fiscal year and to determine the net periodic pension cost for the subsequent year. In determining this rate the Company looks at its historical
and expected rates of annual salary increases. See Note 9 of Notes to Financial Statements for a listing of the rates of increase in compensation levels used by year.

Third, the Company must determine the expected long-term rate of return on assets assumption that is used to determine the expected return on plan assets component of the net periodic pension cost for the subsequent
year. The difference between the actual return on plan assets and the expected return is deferred under SFAS No. 87 and is recognized to net periodic pension cost over a five-year period. See Note 9 of Notes to Financial Statements for a
listing of the expected long-term rates used by year. The Company assumed a long-term rate of return on pension assets of 8.5% in both fiscal 2006 and 2005, and experienced gains on plan assets of $6.1 million in fiscal 2006 and $8.1 million in
fiscal 2005.

Carrying Values of Long-Lived Assets

Midas evaluates the carrying values of its long-lived assets to be held and used in the business by reviewing undiscounted cash flows by asset group. Such
evaluations are performed whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of the projected undiscounted cash flows over the remaining lives of the related assets does not exceed the
carrying values of the assets, the carrying values are adjusted for the differences between the fair values and the carrying values. Additionally, in the case of fixed assets related to locations that will be closed or sold, the Company writes down
fixed assets to their estimated recovery value.

In fiscal 2005, the Company recorded a $1.1 million charge to reflect the impairment of
certain long-lived assets related to the manufacturing and distribution of exhaust. These assets have been liquidated. In fiscal 2004, the Company determined that impairment existed with respect to long-lived assets used in company-operated shops.
As a result, the Company recorded an impairment charge to operating expense of $0.2 million and reduced long-lived assets.

Deferred
Income Taxes

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that
some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.
Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable
income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of these deductible differences at December 30, 2006. In the event that
management determines the Company would not be able to realize all or part of the net deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would be charged to income in the period such determination was made. As of
December 30, 2006, the Company had recorded a valuation allowance of $0.6 million against certain state income tax net operating loss carryovers because the Company has determined that it is more likely than not that this portion of these
deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Impact of New Accounting Standards

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 123 (revised), Share-Based Payment, (SFAS
No. 123R). This statement is a revision to Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, (SFAS No. 123) and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees. SFAS No. 123R requires the measurement of the cost of employee services received in



34

exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The cost will be recognized over the period during which an
employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render service. Originally, SFAS No. 123R required that companies adopt the provisions of
SFAS No. 123R on July 1, 2005. However, in April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted a new rule which deferred the compliance date of SFAS No. 123R until 2006 for calendar year companies such as
Midas, Inc. Consistent with the new rule, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123R on January 1, 2006, with compensation cost recorded as an expense for outstanding unvested awards, based on the grant-date fair value of those awards. The Company
uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the Modified Prospective Application method of adoption as allowed under SFAS No. 123R.

Restricted stock grants include a change in control provision, which provides for cash redemption of unvested restricted stock in certain circumstances. Securities and Exchange Commission Accounting Series Release No. 268
(ASR 268), Presentation in Financial Statements of Redeemable Preferred Stocks, requires securities with contingent cash settlement provisions which are not solely in the control of the issuer, without regard to probability of
occurrence, to be classified outside of shareholders equity. While the Company believes the possibility of occurrence of any such change of control event is remote, the contingent cash settlement of the restricted stock as a result of such
event would not be solely in the control of the Company. As such the Company presents the $2.3 million value of restricted stock as temporary equity on the consolidated balance sheet. Upon the vesting of the restricted stock the Company reclassifies
the value of the restricted stock to permanent equity.

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48),
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. FIN 48 prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in its financial statements
uncertain tax positions that it has taken or expects to take on a tax return. FIN 48 is effective in the first quarter of 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 is not expected to have a material impact on Midas consolidated financial position, results
of operations or cash flows.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, (SFAS 157). SFAS
157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of this standard apply to other accounting pronouncements
that require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS 157 becomes effective for Midas on January 1, 2008. Upon adoption, the provisions of SFAS 157 are to be applied prospectively with limited exceptions. The adoption of SFAS 157 is not expected
to have a material impact on Midas consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In September 2006, the FASB
issued SFAS No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plansan amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R), (SFAS 158). SFAS 158 requires an employer to recognize
the funded status of each of its defined pension and postretirement benefit plans as a net asset or liability in its statement of financial position with an offsetting amount in accumulated other comprehensive income, and to recognize changes in
that funded status in the year in which changes occur through comprehensive income. This requirement became effective for Midas for its December 30, 2006 year-end. The provisions of SFAS 158 are to be applied on a prospective basis; therefore,
prior periods presented will not be restated. The Company adopted SFAS 158 on December 30, 2006, which resulted in a $7.0 million reduction in other assets, a $2.8 million increase in deferred tax assets, a $0.2 million increase in other
liabilities and a $4.4 million increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The adoption had no impact on the Companys results of operations or cash flows.

Additionally, SFAS 158 requires an employer to measure the funded status of its plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position. This provision becomes effective for Midas for no later than
December 28, 2008 fiscal year-end. The funded status of the majority of Midas pension plans is currently measured annually as of the 30th of September.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108
(SAB 108), Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in the Current Year Financial Statements. SAB 108 was issued to provide interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal
of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. The Company adopted SAB 108 on December 30, 2006, which resulted in a cumulative effect adjustment to its opening fiscal 2006 balance sheet. The
adjustment included a $4.0 million increase in other liabilities, a $1.5 million increase in deferred income tax assets and a $2.5 million reduction in retained earnings. Those amounts represent the cumulative difference between recording rent
expense on a straight-line basis versus the previous Midas policy of recording rent in accordance with the underlying lease terms. The adoption of SAB 108 also resulted in lowering the fourth quarter 2006 real estate cost of revenues by $0.6 million
and selling, general and administrative expense by $0.2 million. Prior to the adoption of SAB 108, the Company determined that the potential impact of these items using the rollover method was immaterial to the prior years
statements of operations and cash flow.

Forward Looking Statements

This report contains (and oral communications made by Midas may contain) forward-looking statements that may be identified by their use of words like plans, expects, anticipates,
intends, estimates, forecasts, will, outlook or other words of similar meaning. All statements that address Midas expectations or projections about the future, including statements
about Midas strategy for growth, cost reduction goals, expenditures and financial results, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on Midas estimates, assumptions and expectations of future events and are
subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. All such statements are made in reliance upon the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Midas cannot guarantee that these estimates, assumptions and
expectations are accurate or will be realized. Midas disclaims any intention or obligation (other than as required by law) to update or revise any forward-looking statements.

The Companys results of operations and the forward-looking statements could be affected by, among others things: general economic conditions in the
markets in which the Company operates; economic developments that have a particularly adverse effect on one or more of the markets served by the Company; the ability to execute managements internal operating plans; the timing and magnitude of
capital expenditures; the Companys ability to access debt and equity markets; economic and market conditions in the U.S. and worldwide; currency exchange rates; changes in consumer spending levels and demand for new products and services; and
overall competitive activities. Certain of these risks are more fully described in Item 1 of Part I of this annual report. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result
of new information, future events, or otherwise.



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

The Company is subject to certain market risks, including foreign currency and interest rates. The Company uses a variety of practices to manage these market risks, including, when considered appropriate, derivative
financial instruments. The Company uses derivative financial instruments only for risk management and does not use them for trading or speculative purposes. The Company is exposed to potential gains or losses from foreign currency fluctuations
affecting net investments and earnings denominated in foreign currencies. The Companys primary exposure is to changes in exchange rates for the U.S. dollar versus the Canadian dollar.

Interest rate risk is managed through a combination of fixed rate debt and variable rate borrowings with varying maturities. The Company is exposed to
credit risk on certain assets, primarily accounts receivable. The Company provides credit to customers in the ordinary course of business and performs ongoing credit evaluations. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are
limited due to the large number of customers comprising the Companys customer base. The Company believes its allowance for doubtful accounts is sufficient to cover customer credit risk.

In April 2004, the Company entered into an interest rate swap arrangement to convert $40 million
in senior bank debt from a floating rate to a fixed rate by locking-in LIBOR at 2.76% for a three-year term. The outstanding amount of the swap is reduced by $2.5 million each quarter until the end of the three-year term. As of December 30,
2006, approximately $13.8 million of this interest rate swap remained outstanding. In November 2005, an additional $20 million in senior bank debt was converted from floating rate to fixed rate by locking-in LIBOR at 4.89% for a five year period
with no scheduled reduction. As of December 30, 2006, the fair value of these instruments was a gain of approximately $0.1 million.

The Company has no firmly committed sales transactions denominated in foreign currencies.

|Item 9A. | Controls and Procedures
|-------- | -----------------------

(a)
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

The Companys management, with the participation of the Companys Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the Exchange Act)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the
Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange
Act.

The Companys management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that its disclosure
controls and procedures and its internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives
of the control system are met.

(b) Changes in internal controls over financial reporting.

There were no changes in internal controls during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
affect, internal controls over financial reporting.

Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Midas internal control over
financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our internal control over financial reporting 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 Midas;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



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



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

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may
not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, 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 or compliance with the
policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of Midas internal control over financial reporting as
of December 30, 2006. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment and
those criteria, management believes that Midas maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 30, 2006.

Midas independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP, has audited and issued their report on managements assessment of Midas internal control over financial reporting, which appears below.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

Midas, Inc.:

We have audited managements assessment, included in the accompanying Managements
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, that Midas, Inc. maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 30, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Midas, Inc.s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of
internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on managements assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of Midas, Inc.s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control
over financial reporting, evaluating managements assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe
that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A companys internal control over financial reporting is a process
designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companys internal
control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of 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; and (3) 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 financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial
reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, 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.

In our opinion, managements assessment that Midas, Inc. maintained effective
internal control over financial reporting as of December 30, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of
the Treadway Commission (COSO). Also, in our opinion, Midas, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 30, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal
ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

We also have
audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Midas, Inc. as of fiscal year end 2006 and 2005, and the related statements of operations, cash flows, and
changes in shareholders equity for each of the fiscal years 2006, 2005 and 2004, and our report dated March 15, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

retainer and meeting attendance fees from the Company to purchase shares of the Companys Common Stock, or of deferring receipt of such fees in the form of cash units and units representing shares of the Companys Common Stock. The Plan
provides for a 100,000 maximum aggregate number of shares. The Companys intention is to use treasury shares for such purposes. No shares have been issued under this plan. All current fees and other compensation for directors are outlined in
the 2007 Proxy Statement.

Exchange, options issued under this program are not considered part of the Midas Stock Incentive Plan and are not deducted from the number of securities remaining available for future issuance. As of December 30, 2006, inducement options for a
total of 594,000 shares were outstanding. These options have a ten-year term and vest over a period of five years commencing from the date of grant.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

Midas, Inc.:

We have audited the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Midas, Inc. (the Company) as of fiscal year end 2006 and 2005 and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows, and changes in shareholders equity for each of the fiscal
years 2006, 2005, and 2004. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of Midas, Inc.s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for
our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of Midas Inc. as of fiscal year end 2006 and 2005, and the results of operations and cash flows for fiscal years 2006, 2005, and 2004 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in note 1 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, effective December 30, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R), and Staff Accounting Bulletin
No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in the Current Year Financial Statements, and effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based
Payment.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States),
the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of December 30, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of
the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated March 15, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion on managements assessment of, and the effective operation of, internal control over financial reporting.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation

Midas, Inc. (Midas or the Company) provides retail automotive services principally through franchised or
licensed shops in the U.S., Canada, Europe and other countries. Until the third quarter of fiscal 2005, Midas also manufactured exhaust system components for distribution to U.S. and Canadian (hereinafter referred to as North American)
franchisees and other automotive aftermarket customers. The consolidated financial statements presented herein include Midas, Inc. and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated
in consolidation.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the previously reported fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2004 financial statements in
order to provide consistency with the fiscal 2006 results. These reclassifications did not affect previously reported income before income taxes, net income or earnings per share.

Fiscal Periods

Fiscal year 2006
ended on December 30, 2006 and consisted of 52 weeks. Fiscal year 2005 ended on December 31, 2005 and consisted of 52 weeks. Fiscal year 2004 ended on January 1, 2005 and consisted of 52 weeks.

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

All assets and liabilities of non-U.S. operations are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates as of the end of each fiscal period. Income and expense items are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during each fiscal
period. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of shareholders equity. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in net earnings.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and
cash equivalents consist of deposits with banks and financial institutions which are unrestricted as to withdrawal or use, and which have an original maturity of three months or less.

Midas financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, and long-term debt. In fiscal 2006 and 2005, there was no public market for Midas long-term debt. The carrying amounts of the other
financial assets and liabilities approximate their fair values because of the short maturities of those instruments.

Derivative
Financial Instruments

The Company has market risk exposure to changes in interest rates, principally in the United States. Midas
attempts to minimize this risk and lower its overall borrowing costs through the utilization of interest rate swaps. These swaps are entered into with financial institutions and have initial reset dates and critical terms that match those of the
underlying debt.

Valuation of Receivables

The Company records receivables due from its franchisees and other customers at the time the sale is recorded in accordance with its revenue recognition policies. These receivables consist of amounts due from the sale
of products, royalties due from franchisees and suppliers, rents and other amounts. The future collectibility

of these amounts can be impacted by the Companys collection efforts, the financial stability of its customers, and the general economic climate in
which it operates. The Company applies a consistent practice of establishing an allowance for accounts that it feels may become uncollectible through reviewing the historical aging of its receivables and by monitoring the financial strength of its
franchisees and other customers. Where the Company becomes aware of a customers inability to meet its financial obligations (e.g. where it is in financial distress or has filed for bankruptcy), the Company specifically reserves for the
potential bad debt to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount it reasonably believes will be collected. The valuation of receivables is performed on a quarterly basis.

Notes Receivable

Notes receivable
relate to franchisee financing arrangements for certain previously past due balances and other long-term receivables that exceed one year. They bear interest at a market rate based on the customers credit quality and are recorded at face
value. Interest is recognized over the life of the note. The notes are typically collateralized by inventory, equipment or similar assets of the franchisee. The Company has not and does not intend to sell these receivables. Past due notes receivable
are considered during the Companys valuation of receivables.

Inventory Valuation

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory cost is determined using the weighted-average cost method, which
approximates the first-in, first-out method. Additionally, the Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of its inventory to assess the proper valuation. This includes having adequate allowances to cover losses in the normal course of
operations, providing for excess and obsolete inventory, and ensuring that inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market. In performing this evaluation the Company considers historical data such as actual loss experience, past and projected
usage, and actual margins generated from sales of its products.

During fiscal years 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Company sold and liquidated
inventory in connection with the implementation of its ongoing business transformation. The Company recorded charges in fiscal years 2006, 2005 and 2004 to write-down certain inventories to their net realizable value as a result of the
Companys exit from exhaust manufacturing and distribution, the outsourcing of the Companys wholesale parts distribution operation and the closing of company-operated shops. In assessing the net realizable value of the inventory that was
to be sold and liquidated, the Company considered original cost, past and projected usage, independent third party appraisals and offers made by potential buyers.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using
the straight-line method and includes amortization of assets held under capital and finance leases. When property is sold or retired, the cost and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and gains or losses are recorded in the
statement of operations. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

Buildings and improvements are depreciated
over useful lives ranging from 10 to 40 years. Machinery and equipment is depreciated over useful lives ranging from three to 12 years, and computer hardware is depreciated over useful lives of three to five years. Major enterprise-level computer
software is depreciated over 10 years while all other software is depreciated over five years.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the
years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred
tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled
reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the
deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of these deductible differences at December 30, 2006. In the event that management determines the Company would not be
able to realize all or part of the net deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would be charged to income in the period such determination was made.

Self-Insurance Reserves

Historically, the Company has been largely self-insured with respect to workers compensation and general liability claims. In order to reduce its risk and better manage its overall loss exposure, the Company purchased stop-loss insurance
that covers individual claims in excess of the deductible amounts. As of January 30, 2006, the Company is no longer self-insured with respect to workers compensation and general liability claims and has converted to a fully-insured program. In
addition, on January 1, 2004, the Company ended its self-insured program with respect to employee medical claims and converted to a fully-insured medical program. The Company maintains an accrual for the estimated cost to settle open claims
under its former self-insurance programs as well as an estimate of the cost of claims that have been incurred but not reported. These estimates take into consideration the historical average monthly claim volume, the average cost for settled claims,
current trends in claim costs, changes in the Companys business and workforce, and general economic factors. These accruals are reviewed on a quarterly basis, or more frequently if factors dictate a more frequent review.

Carrying Value of Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the Company conducts tests for impairment of goodwill annually or more frequently
if circumstances indicate that an asset might be impaired. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that an assets carrying amount exceeds its fair value.

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events and
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by reviewing the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the sum of the
projected undiscounted cash flows over the remaining lives of the related assets does not exceed the carrying values of the assets, the carrying values are adjusted for differences between the asset fair values and the carrying values. Fixed assets
held for sale are separately disclosed and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell. Assets held for sale are no longer depreciated.

In fiscal 2006, an impairment of approximately $0.1 million was recorded in connection with the
closure of six company-operated shops. In fiscal 2005, the Company recorded a $1.1 million charge to reflect the impairment of certain long-lived assets related to the manufacturing and distribution of exhaust. These assets have been liquidated. In
fiscal 2004, the Company determined that impairment existed with respect to long-lived assets used in company-operated shops. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment charge to operating expense of $0.2 million and reduced long-lived assets.

Revenue Recognition

Franchise royalties are recognized in the periods that correspond to the periods when retail sales and revenues are recognized by franchisees. Product royalties are recognized as earned based on the volume of franchisee purchases of
products from certain vendors. Replacement part sales are recognized at the time products are shipped, at which time provision is made for estimated product returns. Sales and revenues of company-operated shops are recognized when customer vehicles
are repaired or serviced.

Revenues derived from franchise fees, which represented approximately 0.8%, 0.3% and 0.5% of franchising
revenues in fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, are recognized when the franchised shop opens and after certain contractual obligations have been met. Costs related to securing initial franchise agreements and performing the required services
under such agreements are charged to expense as incurred. Franchise renewal fees are recognized when the renewal period commences.

Real
estate revenues are recognized as earned on a monthly basis in accordance with underlying property lease terms. The majority of real estate revenues are derived from Midas shop locations. Nearly all of these locations are subject to an annual
percentage rent based upon the locations retail sales volume for the calendar year.

Advertising

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

Recognition of Warranty Costs

Customers are provided a written warranty from Midas on certain products purchased from Midas
shops in North America, namely brake friction, mufflers, shocks and struts. The warranty will be honored at any Midas shop in North America and is valid for the lifetime of the vehicle, but is voided if the vehicle is sold. The Company maintains a
warranty accrual to cover the estimated future liability associated with outstanding warranties. The Company determines the estimated value of outstanding warranty claims based on: 1) an estimate of the percentage of all warranted products sold and
registered in prior periods at retail that are likely to be redeemed; and 2) an estimate of the cost of redemption of each future warranty claim on a current cost basis. These estimates are computed using actual historical registration and
redemption data as well as actual cost information on current redemptions.

Warranty expense is included in cost of sales and revenues in the statements of operations. A

Stock-Based Compensation

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 123R, Share-Based Payment
(SFAS No. 123R or the Statement). This Statement is a revision of Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS No. 123), and supersedes Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB No. 25), and its related implementation guidance. On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123R
using the Modified Prospective Application method. SFAS No. 123R focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. The Statement requires entities to
recognize compensation expense for awards of equity instruments to employees based on the grant-date fair value of those awards (with limited exceptions). SFAS No. 123R also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized
compensation expense to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as prescribed under the prior accounting rules. This requirement reduces net operating cash flows and increases net financing cash flows in periods
after adoption. Total cash flow remains unchanged from what would have been reported under prior accounting rules.

Prior to the adoption
of SFAS No. 123R, the Company applied the intrinsic-value-based method in accordance with APB No. 25 to account for its employee stock options and share purchase rights. Accordingly, no compensation expense was recognized for share
purchase rights granted in connection with the issuance of stock options under the Companys stock incentive plans; however, compensation expense was recognized in connection with the issuance of restricted shares. The adoption of
SFAS No. 123R primarily resulted in a change in the method of recognizing the fair value of share-based compensation and estimating forfeitures for all unvested awards. Specifically, the adoption of SFAS No. 123R resulted in
recording compensation expense for employee stock options. The Company records an expense for outstanding unvested stock awards based on the grant-date fair value of those awards. The fair value of stock option awards has been determined using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model and the Modified Prospective Application method of adoption as allowed under SFAS No. 123R.

The Company did not record an excess tax benefit in fiscal 2006; therefore, there is no impact on
cash flows from operating activities or cash flows from financing activities in the Statement of Cash Flows. Under the Modified Prospective Application method, contra-equity accounts related to unearned or deferred compensation for awards previously
accounted for pursuant to APB 25 are eliminated against paid-in capital.

Results for fiscal 2005 or fiscal 2004 have not been restated.
Had compensation expense for employee stock options granted under the stock option plan been determined based on a fair-value method at the grant date consistent with SFAS No. 123R, the Companys net income and earnings per share for

Use of Estimates

In order to prepare the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management has
made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities, the reported amounts of reserves and expenses during the period and disclosures of contingencies. Significant items subject to such estimates and
assumptions include inventory valuation, valuation of receivables, business transformation charges, carrying values of long-lived assets and net deferred tax assets, self-insurance reserves and warranty reserves. Actual results could differ from
these estimates.

Impact of New Accounting Standards

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 123 (revised), Share-Based Payment, (SFAS No. 123R). This statement is a revision to Statement
No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, (SFAS No. 123) and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. SFAS No. 123R requires the measurement of the cost
of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the
award. No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render service. Originally, SFAS No. 123R required that companies adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 123R on July 1, 2005. However, in April
2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted a new rule which deferred the compliance date of SFAS No. 123R until 2006 for calendar year companies such as Midas, Inc. Consistent with the new rule, the Company adopted
SFAS No. 123R on January 1, 2006, with compensation cost recorded as an expense for outstanding unvested awards, based on the grant-date fair value of those awards. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the Modified
Prospective Application method of adoption as allowed under SFAS No. 123R.

Restricted stock grants include a change in
control provision, which provides for cash redemption of unvested restricted stock in certain circumstances. Securities and Exchange Commission Accounting Series Release No. 268 (ASR 268), Presentation in Financial Statements of
Redeemable Preferred Stocks, requires securities with contingent cash settlement provisions which are not solely in the control of the issuer, without regard to probability of occurrence, to be classified outside of shareholders equity.
While the Company believes the possibility of occurrence of any such change of control event is remote, the contingent cash settlement of the restricted stock as a result of such event would not be solely in the control of the Company. As such the
Company presents the $2.3 million value of restricted stock as temporary equity on the consolidated balance sheet. Upon the vesting of the restricted stock the Company reclassifies the value of the restricted stock to permanent equity.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxesan Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. FIN 48 prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions
that it has taken or expects to take on a tax return. FIN 48 is effective in the first quarter of 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 is not expected to have a material impact on Midas consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair value,
establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of this standard apply to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair
value measurements. SFAS 157 becomes effective for Midas on January 1, 2008. Upon adoption, the provisions of SFAS 157 are to be applied prospectively with limited exceptions. The adoption of SFAS 157 is not expected to have a material impact
on Midas consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158,
Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plansan amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R), (SFAS 158). SFAS 158 requires an employer to recognize the funded status of each
of its defined pension and postretirement benefit plans as a net asset or liability in its statement of financial position with an offsetting amount in accumulated other comprehensive income, and to recognize changes in that funded status in the
year in which changes occur through comprehensive income. This requirement became effective for Midas for its December 30, 2006 year-end. The provisions of SFAS 158 are to be applied on a prospective basis; therefore, prior periods presented
will not be restated. The Company adopted SFAS 158 on December 30, 2006, which resulted in a $7.0 million reduction in other assets, a $2.8 million increase in deferred tax assets, a $0.2 million increase in other liabilities and a $4.4 million
increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The adoption had no impact on the Companys results of operations or cash flows.

The incremental impact of applying SFAS 158 on line items in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 30, 2006 was as follows:

Additionally, SFAS 158 requires an employer to measure the funded status of its plan as of the
date of its year-end statement of financial position. This provision becomes effective for Midas for no later than December 28, 2008 fiscal year-end. The funded status of the majority of Midas pension plans is currently measured annually
as of the 30th of September.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (SAB
108), Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in the Current Year Financial Statements. SAB 108 was issued to provide interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of
prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. The Company adopted SAB 108 on December 30, 2006, which resulted in a cumulative effect adjustment to its opening fiscal 2006 balance sheet. The
adjustment included a $4.2 million increase in other

liabilities, a $1.5 million increase in deferred income tax assets, a $2.5 million reduction in retained earnings and a $0.2 million increase in long term
assets. Those amounts represent the cumulative difference between recording rent expense on a straight-line basis versus the previous Midas policy of recording rent in accordance with the underlying lease terms. The adoption of SAB 108 also resulted
in lowering the fourth quarter 2006 real estate cost of revenues by $0.6 million and selling, general and administrative expense by $0.2 million. Prior to the adoption of SAB 108, the Company determined that the potential impact of these items using
the rollover method was immaterial to the prior years statements of operations and cash flow.

(2) Business Transformation Charges

The Company is in the process of transforming its business. As part of the Companys business transformation, the Company has
developed and implemented strategic initiatives that it believes will enhance its long-term competitive position. The Company believes these initiatives will enable it to reduce costs and enhance sustainable profitability while delivering critical
products and services to its customers. From fiscal 2002 through 2006, these initiatives have included the closure and re-franchising of certain company-operated shops, the redesign of the Companys wholesale parts distribution network, exiting
the exhaust manufacturing and distribution business and the reduction of administrative expenses related to former operating activities.

In connection with Midas ongoing retail transformation, the Company recently developed a major update to its retail shop image. The new image program incorporates changes to internal shop appearance and merchandising, as well as a
significant redesign of the Midas shop façade. Midas management believes the new image will better showcase the Companys expansion into new services, enhance efforts to educate customers and significantly increase the visibility and
curb appeal of the typical Midas shop. The Company expects a majority of Midas shops throughout North America to adopt the new shop image. In order to encourage Midas dealers to adopt this new image during 2006 and 2007, the Company is offering to
provide a subsidy of up to $2,600 per shop. As a result, Midas management expects that the implementation of this program will result in additional business transformation costs during fiscal 2007. Midas believes the total charges for franchised
shops will be approximately $4 million.

The implementation of these business transformation initiatives has had the effect of
substantially lowering overall Company revenues and expenses in fiscal 2006 compared to historical periods. Furthermore, the implementation of the Companys strategic initiatives has resulted in the Company recording substantial business
transformation charges to reflect the write-down of assets, the disposition of lease agreements, severance costs, and other related expenses. The charges recorded in connection with the Companys business transformation process in fiscal years
2006, 2005 and 2004 are summarized in the following tables (in millions):

Inventory related charges are reflected in the statements of operations as a component of cost of
sales and revenues. All other costs are shown as expenses under the heading Business transformation charges. Non-recoverable lease costs are estimated based on gross lease expense and amounts management believes will be recovered from
sublease income or the disposition of leases.

The fiscal 2005 severance and other separation costs reflect the separation of 198
employees, none of which were actively employed by the Company as of December 30, 2006.

Each business transformation initiative and its related costs are described in more detail below (in millions):

Retail Image Update

In
connection with Midas ongoing retail transformation described above, the Company has developed a major update to the Companys shop image. The new image program was based on extensive customer research and incorporates changes to internal
shop appearance and merchandising, as well as a significant redesign of the Midas shop façade. Midas management believes the new image will better showcase the Companys expansion into maintenance services, enhance efforts to educate
customers and significantly increase the visibility and curb appeal of the typical Midas shop. In order to encourage dealer acceptance of the new image program, the Company is offering an incentive program to Midas dealers, which includes financial
and project management assistance. As of the end of fiscal 2006, the new image had been rolled out to approximately 165 shops. By the end of fiscal 2007, the Company expects that a majority of Midas shops throughout North America will have adopted
the new shop image.

During fiscal 2006, the Company recorded business transformation charges of $1.6 million in connection with the
Companys partial funding of the retail image update for Midas dealers and company-operated shops.

Exit from Exhaust Manufacturing
Business

In fiscal 2004, the Company announced its intention to sell its IPC exhaust distribution business and exit exhaust
manufacturing. In May 2005, the Company entered into new exhaust supply arrangements with its vendors, which allowed the Company to exit its unprofitable exhaust manufacturing and distribution business. As a result of these agreements, Midas ceased
production at its Hartford, Wisconsin exhaust manufacturing plant during the third quarter of fiscal 2005. Midas continued to operate its exhaust distribution warehouse in Chicago, Illinois during the first quarter of 2006 in order to provide Midas
brand exhaust products to certain Midas dealers prior to their final conversion to the new exhaust supply program. During the first quarter of fiscal 2006, all remaining exhaust inventory and equipment was sold and liquidated and the Chicago exhaust
distribution warehouse was closed.

In March 2005, as a result of its decision to exit the exhaust manufacturing and distribution business,
the Company sold its Huth exhaust equipment manufacturing business. The Company also sold its Chicago distribution center in late March 2005 and leased it back through March 2006. The Company is seeking a buyer for its Hartford manufacturing
facility.

In connection with Midas exit from exhaust manufacturing and distribution, the Company recorded a credit to business
transformation charges of $0.2 million during fiscal 2006 to reflect better than expected recovery on the disposition of exhaust distribution facility assets and final adjustment of severance accruals. The Company recorded charges totaling $12.2
million during fiscal 2005. These charges included inventory related charges of $5.2 million primarily to reduce its exhaust inventory, including raw materials, to its expected net realizable value, $4.7 million for severance for exhaust
manufacturing and distribution employees, $1.1 million to reflect the impairment and abandonment of exhaust-related fixed assets, $0.8 million to reflect a lower expected collection rate on receivables related to the exhaust business, $0.3 million
of charges pertaining to the wind down of warehouse operations, and $0.1 million in other restructuring costs.

Rationalization of
Company-Operated Shops

During fiscal 2006, the Company closed six under-performing company-operated shops, all of which were located in
Florida. These six shops generated annual sales that were well below the typical Midas shop, resulting

in significant operating losses over the past several years. In connection with the December 2006 closure of these shops, the Company recorded charges of
$1.9 million in fiscal 2006. These charges were comprised of $1.5 million in projected non-recoverable lease costs, $0.2 million inventory write-down, $0.1 million to write off disposed assets and $0.1 million of severance and other costs related to
the closures. In fiscal 2004, the Company incurred charges of $0.1 million as a result of additional obligations associated with shops closed or re-franchised in 2003.

The Company will continue to evaluate all company-operated shop locations and may re-franchise additional owned locations where it is determined that the Companys return on investment objectives are best
achieved through re-franchising instead of ownership.

Redesign of the Wholesale Distribution Network

From its inception through fiscal 2003, the Company operated a wholesale auto parts distribution network focused on serving the weekly replenishment
requirements of Midas shops. By the close of 2002, the wholesale parts distribution operations was losing money, driven by declining sales and high operating costs. Thus, during fiscal 2003, Midas closed its traditional wholesale parts distribution
operations and outsourced the distribution of parts to AutoZone, Inc. in the U.S. and Uni-Select Inc. in Canada. As a result, the Company recorded charges of $70.6 million in fiscal 2003.

In fiscal 2004, the Company incurred charges of $1.1 million in conjunction with the final reconciliation of the parts distribution transition in the
U.S. and Canada. These charges were comprised of $0.8 million to adjust the value of certain pension assets in Canada as a result of the Companys decision to exit the wholesale distribution business in Canada, a $0.4 million inventory
write-down to reflect final settlement with buyers and a reduction of $0.1 million in severance and separation costs based on actual costs incurred.

In fiscal 2005, the Company recorded an additional charge of $0.1 million in connection with the final wind up of a pension plan in Canada for hourly workers.

No charges were recorded during fiscal 2006 in connection with the redesign of the Companys wholesale distribution network.

(3) Debt Agreements

On March 16, 2004, the
Company entered into a three-year, $115 million credit facility to refinance its existing credit facility. The facility was secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company. On November 5, 2004, the Company amended its March 2004
credit agreement to reduce the required principal amortization. The amendment also eased the Companys restrictions on capital expenditures, allowed for stock repurchases and dividend payments, and reduced the interest rate by 50 basis points.

On October 27, 2005, the Company entered into a five-year, unsecured $110 million revolving credit facility that reduced interest
rates, eliminated scheduled principal payments and significantly increased the Companys capacity to make treasury stock repurchases and dividend payments. The credit facility was initially expandable to $140 million at the Companys
discretion with lender approval. Interest on the revolving loan was initially payable monthly at LIBOR plus 2.0%. The interest rate floats based on the underlying rate of LIBOR and the Companys leverage. This facility requires maintenance of
certain financial covenants including maximum allowable leverage and minimum tangible net worth.

On September 15, 2006, the Company
amended its $110 million October 2005 revolving credit facility. The amended facility is now expandable to $165 million at the Companys discretion with lender approval. As a

result of the amendment, the Companys borrowing cost was reduced by 50 basis points. Currently, the interest rate on the Companys revolving loan
borrowings is priced at LIBOR plus 1.25%. In addition, the amendment eliminated restrictions on treasury stock repurchases, dividends and acquisitions.

As of December 30, 2006, a total of $61.1 million was outstanding under the revolving credit facility. As of December 31, 2005, a total of $65.0 million was outstanding under the revolving credit facility.

In April 2004, the Company entered into an interest rate swap arrangement to convert $40 million in senior bank debt from a floating rate
to a fixed rate by locking-in LIBOR at 2.76% for a three-year term. The outstanding amount of the swap is reduced by $2.5 million each quarter until the end of the three-year term. As of December 30, 2006, approximately $13.8 million of this
interest rate swap remained outstanding. In November 2005, an additional $20 million in senior bank debt was converted from floating rate to fixed rate by locking-in LIBOR at 4.89% for a five year period with no scheduled reduction.

The April 2004 swap arrangement has been designated as a cash flow hedge and was evaluated to be ineffective subsequent to the Companys October
2005 refinancing. As a result, the change in the fair value is reflected on the statement of operations as interest expense. The November 2005 swap arrangement has been designated as a cash flow hedge and was evaluated to be highly effective. As a
result, the change in the fair value is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income as a gain or loss on derivative financial instruments. As of December 30, 2006, the fair value of these instruments was a gain of approximately $0.1
million.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



The Companys effective tax rate for fiscal 2006 was 45.8%, which reflects an increase from the
companys statutory tax rate of 39.0% primarily as a result of incremental non-deductible expenses and a deemed dividend from the Canadian operations. In the third quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company corrected an error in the fiscal 2004 and
2005 income tax expense. The $0.9 million adjustment was made in the third quarter of fiscal 2006 because the impact on the financial statements was not material. Because the Company has a significant net operating loss carryforward, this correction
to the calculation of income tax expense for prior periods does not affect the amount of cash income taxes the Company will pay for fiscal 2006.

Pretax income from non-U.S. operations amounted to a $1.8 million in fiscal 2006, a $0.6 million loss in fiscal 2005, and a $0.9 million loss in fiscal 2004. As of December 31, 2005, the non-U.S. operations had no accumulated earnings
and profits. However, the non-U.S. operations had current earnings and profits in 2006. As such, the Company has recognized U.S. taxes on the deemed remitted earnings (dividend) of its non-U.S. operations.

Deferred income taxes are created by temporary differences between amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and
such amounts as reported under income tax regulations. Deferred tax assets and liabilities consisted of (in millions):

As of December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the Company had recorded valuation
allowances of $0.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively, against certain state income tax net operating loss carryovers because the Company has determined that it is more likely than not that this portion of these deferred tax assets will not be
realized. The Company believes that it is more likely than not that the results of future operations will generate

sufficient taxable income to realize the U.S. and Canadian deferred tax assets. In addition, the company has a tax contingency reserve of $1.2 million
recorded in other liabilities. The reserve relates mainly to tax positions taken in prior years income tax returns that may be challenged upon audit.

As of December 30, 2006, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $100 million available to offset future taxable income for federal and Canadian income tax purposes. The Company also has
tax credits of approximately $1.9 million available to offset future federal income taxes. The net operating loss carryforwards expire between 2023 and 2024 while the tax credits expire between 2011 and 2015.

(7) Franchise Agreements

Midas franchise
agreements generally cover a 20-year period and provide for renewals. A franchise agreement can be canceled by Midas only in the event a franchisee fails to comply with the provisions of the agreement. Franchise agreements provide for initial and
renewal fees and continuing royalty payments based on a percentage of sales. Franchisees pay the Company monthly royalties based on a percentage of sales. In North America, Midas is obligated to spend an amount equal to one-half of the royalty
payments it receives for advertising.

(8) Leases

Control of the real estate used by Midas shops is a fundamental strength of the Midas program. Midas employs a number of methods to ensure continued dedication of the real estate to the Midas program. Midas leases
real estate that is subleased to franchisees and owns real estate in the U.S. and Canada that is leased to franchisees. Midas has also entered into contingent operating lease agreements that are described below. At fiscal year end 2006,
approximately 82% of real estate associated with North American Midas shops was controlled by Midas, using one of these methods.

Substantially all of Midas operating leases provide that Midas pay taxes, maintenance,
insurance, and certain other operating expenses. The subleases with franchisees contain provisions for Midas to recover such

costs. Real estate rental expenses in 2005 and 2004 were recognized as incurred on a monthly basis in accordance with underlying property lease terms, which
approximates the straight-line method. In fiscal 2006, real estate expenses were recognized using the straight-line method.

Real Estate
Sale and Leaseback Transaction

Midas owns retail properties throughout the United States and Canada that are leased to franchisees and
operated as Midas shops. During fiscal 2002, the Company sold 77 of these properties to Realty Income Corporation, a publicly traded real estate investment trust (REIT), and realized approximately $39.6 million in net proceeds. Simultaneous to that
sale, Midas leased these properties from Realty Income Corporation and the sites continue to be leased to Midas franchisees under existing leases. Because these properties will continue to generate rents to Midas, there was no effect on revenues.

In accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 98, Accounting for Leases, the
Company recorded a finance lease obligation on the balance sheet of $39.6 million, equal to the net sale price of the properties, and no gain on the sale was recognized. The properties remain on the balance sheet at their historic cost and continue
to be depreciated over their remaining useful lives. Annual lease payments (shown below) will be made through the expiration of the lease in 2022.

Minimum Annual Rental Payments

At fiscal year end 2006, annual minimum rental payments due under capital, finance and
operating leases that have initial or remaining non-cancelable terms in excess of one year, along with sublease rental income on real estate due under non-cancelable subleases were as follows (in millions):

Real Estate Owned by Midas and Leased to Franchisees

Midas owns real estate located in various communities throughout the United States and Canada that is leased to franchisees under operating lease
agreements. Substantially all leases are for initial terms of 20 years and provide for minimum and contingent rentals.

Real estate leased
to franchisees and included in the balance sheets consisted of (in millions):

Rental revenue on owned real estate for fiscal 2006 was $9.8 million, compared to $10.1 million in
fiscal 2005 and $10.2 million in fiscal 2004. Minimum future lease payments to be received are as follows (in millions):

Contingent Operating Lease Agreements

Midas has entered into contingent operating lease agreements covering real estate that is leased by U.S. and Canadian franchisees from parties that are
directly or indirectly related to the franchisees. At December 30, 2006, 72 Midas shops were covered by these contingent operating lease agreements, under which Midas could be required, under certain limited circumstances, to begin making
rental payments with respect to individual shop locations. The average annual shop rental is $61 thousand with an average remaining term of approximately eight years.

Management believes that, individually and in the aggregate, any potential difference that might arise under these contingent lease agreements between the rental expense and the rental income from future subleases
would not materially affect the financial position or results of operations of Midas.

(9) Pension Plans

Defined Benefit Pension Plans and Other Postretirement Plans

Certain Midas employees in the U.S. and Canada are covered under various defined benefit pension plans sponsored and funded by Midas. Plans covering salaried employees provide pension benefits based on years of
service, and generally are limited to a maximum of 20% of the employees average annual compensation during

the five years preceding retirement. Plans covering hourly employees generally provide benefits of stated amounts for each year of service. Plan assets are
invested primarily in common stocks, corporate bonds, and government securities. The cost of these plans is being funded currently.

|Rate of increase in compensation levels          |  | 3.5  | % |  | 3.5  | % |  | 4.0  | %

The Company believes the assumed long-term rate of return on pension plan assets is appropriate
given the Companys target long-term asset allocation. The Company believes its target asset allocation is appropriate given the expected timing and amount of expenses for the plan. The Companys target asset allocation and actual asset

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



The principal economic assumptions used in determining the above benefit obligations were discount
rates of 5.75% in fiscal 2006 and 5.5% in fiscal 2005, and rates of increase in future compensation levels of 3.5% in fiscal 2006 and 2005.

As of December 30, 2006, the $2.4 million prepaid pension cost, net of valuation reserves of approximately $2.9 million pertaining to the partial wind-up of the Canadian Salaried Pension Plan and the full wind-up of the Canadian Hourly
Pension Plan, was recorded in the Companys balance sheet as an $0.6 million prepaid pension asset and a $1.1 million accrued pension liability.

Defined Contribution Plans

Substantially all U.S. salaried employees, certain U.S. hourly employees,
and certain Canadian employees participate in voluntary, contributory defined contribution plans to which Midas makes full or partial matching contributions. Midas matching contributions to these plans amounted to $1.0 million, $1.0 million,
and $0.8 million in fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Midas incurred costs to maintain the non-qualified plans of approximately $30 thousand in fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004.

Multi-employer Pension Plan

Midas
historically participated in a multi-employer pension plan, which provides benefits to unionized employees at Midas former exhaust manufacturing operation in Hartford, WI. Amounts contributed to this plan totaled $165 thousand in fiscal 2006
and approximately $100 thousand in 2005 and 2004. No further payments are required.

(10) Stock-Based Compensation and Other Equity Instruments

In fiscal 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123R when accounting for stock compensation expense. As a result,
the Company recorded $2.2 million in incremental stock compensation expense during fiscal 2006. These expenses were charged to selling, general and administrative expense. In addition, the Company reclassified the remaining deferred compensation of
restricted stock awards of approximately $4.2 million to common stock and paid-in capital. This reclassification did not impact total shareholders equity.

As of December 30, 2006, there was $3.8 million in stock option compensation expense related
to unvested awards not yet recognized, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.1 years.

Restricted Stock

From time to time the Company grants shares of restricted stock to certain of its officers and directors. This restricted stock
generally vests at the five or seven year anniversary, with provision for accelerated vesting given the occurrence of certain pre-defined events. The fair value of these grants is equal to the stock price at the date of the grant. Activity for
restricted shares for the prior three years, including the non-vested restricted shares outstanding and the weighted average grant-date fair value of those restricted shares is shown in the table below:

As of December 30, 2006 there was $7.4 million of unamortized restricted stock compensation
of which $5.1 million was included in paid-in capital and $2.3 million was included in non-vested restricted stock subject to redemption. The $7.4 million of unamortized restricted stock compensation is expected to be recognized over a weighted
average period of 4.7 years.

Restricted stock grants include a change in control provision, which provides for cash redemption
of unvested restricted stock in certain circumstances. Securities and Exchange Commission Accounting Series Release No. 268 (ASR 268), Presentation in Financial Statements of Redeemable Preferred Stocks, requires securities with
contingent cash settlement provisions which are not solely in the control of the issuer, without

regard to probability of occurrence, to be classified outside of shareholders equity. While the Company believes the possibility of occurrence of any
such change of control event is remote, the contingent cash settlement of the restricted stock as a result of such event would not be solely in the control of the Company. As such, the Company presents the $2.3 million value of unvested restricted
stock as temporary equity on the consolidated balance sheet. Upon the vesting of the restricted stock the Company reclassifies the value of the restricted stock to permanent equity.

Common Stock Warrants

On
March 27, 2003, the Company issued 1.0 million warrants valued at $5.0 million in connection with its 2003 debt restructuring. On January 5, 2004, 500,000 of these warrants were automatically cancelled because the Company met certain
financial objectives contained in the warrant agreements. As of December 30, 2006, a total of 52,593 warrants remained outstanding. The exercise price of the warrants is $0.01, and the warrants are exercisable at any time up to March 27,
2013. Any warrants that remain unexercised at March 27, 2013 are automatically exercised as of that date.

(11) Shareholder Rights Agreement
and Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock

In fiscal 1997, Midas adopted a Rights Agreement providing for the issuance of one
Preferred Stock Purchase Right (a Right) with each share of Midas common stock. Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from Midas one one-hundredth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock (a
Preferred Share) at a price of $150 per one one-hundredth of a Preferred Share (the Purchase Price), subject to adjustment. The Rights will become exercisable on the Rights Distribution Date, which is the earlier of the tenth
day following a public announcement that a person(s) has acquired beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the Midas common stock (an Acquiring Person), or ten business days after the commencement of a tender offer or exchange offer that
would result in a person(s) acquiring beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the outstanding shares of Midas common stock.

If a person
becomes an Acquiring Person, each Right holder (other than the Acquiring Person) will be entitled to receive, upon exercise of the Right, a number of shares of Midas common stock having a market value of two times the exercise price of the Right. If
Midas is acquired in a merger or other business combination, each Right holder (other than the Acquiring Person) will be entitled to receive, upon exercise of a Right, a number of the acquiring Companys common shares having a market value at
that time of two times the exercise price of the Right.

In general, Midas can redeem all the Rights for one cent per Right at any time
until 10 days following the first public announcement that a person has become an Acquiring Person. The Midas Board of Directors, without the consent of the holders of the Rights, is also authorized to reduce the stock ownership thresholds to 10
percent or increase them to not more than 20 percent. The Rights will expire on December 31, 2007. Until a Right is exercised, the holder of a Right (merely by being a Right holder) will have no rights as a shareholder of Midas, including
voting or dividend rights.

Each Preferred Share will be entitled to a minimum preferential quarterly dividend payment of $0.01 per share,
but will be entitled to an aggregate dividend of 100 times the dividend declared per share of Midas common stock. Each Preferred Share will have 100 votes, voting together with the Midas common stock. In the event of a merger or other transaction in
which shares of common stock of the Company are exchanged, each Preferred Share will be entitled to receive 100 times the amount received per share of Midas common stock.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)



The Company has 20 million authorized shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock.
There are no Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock issued or outstanding.

(12) Contingencies

In connection with the 1998 disposition of certain U.S. company-operated shops, franchisees entered into a series of financing agreements with a third
party lender. If the franchisees fail to make required payments, Midas is contingently liable for a portion of the losses that would be incurred by the lender. As of December 30, 2006, the total outstanding loans under this program were
approximately $0.8 million. In fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Company was required to pay $0.6 million, $1.2 million and $0.8 million, respectively, to the lender under this program.

Midas has certain contingent liabilities arising from various pending claims and litigation related to a number of matters. While the amount of liability
that may result from these matters cannot be determined, in the opinion of Midas counsel, the ultimate liability will not materially affect the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of Midas.

(13) Business Segment Information

Midas
operates in a single business segment and provides retail automotive services principally through franchised and company-operated shops located in North America (United States and Canada) and through franchised and licensed shops in international
markets. Midas U.S. operations receive royalties from franchisees located in Central America. Such revenues amounted to less than one percent of U.S. sales and revenues in each of the fiscal years presented.

No Midas customer accounted for more than 10% of the Companys total sales and revenues in fiscal 2006 or fiscal 2005.

The following tables present financial information for each of the principal geographic areas in which the Company operates. Sales and revenues are
attributed to geographic areas based on the location of customers.

The sum of earnings per share for the quarters may not equal the full year amount in each year due
to the impact of changes in the average shares outstanding.

Midas has historically experienced the greatest demand for its services in the
second and third quarters of the fiscal year. The seasonality is due to increased driving miles during the summer months, as well as more

severe weather in the winter months in certain parts of North America, which can make it more difficult for customers to travel to Midas shops to obtain
services. In fiscal 2006 and 2005, the second and third quarters accounted for approximately 51% of annual sales and revenues.

Excluding
the effects of unusual items such as gains on asset sales and business transformation charges, the second and third quarters of fiscal 2006 represented 55% of the Companys annual net income. In fiscal 2005, 61% of the Companys annual net
income, excluding unusual items, was derived from the second and third quarters. The Company expects the seasonality of its quarterly earnings will continue.

Certain factors other than seasonality have impacted the Companys quarterly net income and earnings per share and these are discussed in greater detail below.

Quarterly VariationsFiscal 2006

During the first quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company recorded a $3.4 million gain on sale of
assets. This included the recognition of the remaining $1.8 million deferred gain from the March 2005 sale of the Companys Chicago warehouse, and a $1.6 million gain on the sale of equipment liquidated in connection with the Companys
exit from exhaust manufacturing. In the second quarter of 2006 the Company incurred $1.5 million of expenses associated with the 50thanniversary dealer convention. During the first three quarters of fiscal 2006, the Company recorded business transformation charges of $0.9 million primarily in connection with the Companys partial funding of the rollout of a
new shop image for Midas shops. In the fourth quarter the Company recorded business transformation charges of $0.5 million in connection with the Companys partial funding of the rollout of a new shop image for Midas shops and $1.9 million
pertaining to the closure of six Company-operated shops in Florida. In the fourth quarter of 2006 the Company adopted Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (SAB 108), Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying
Misstatements in the Current Year Financial Statements. and began accounting for operating leases on a straight line basis. As a result, in the fourth quarter the Company recognized a $0.6 million reduction of cost of sales and revenues and a
$0.2 million reduction of selling, general and administrative expenses. The Company recorded an increase in income tax expense in the third quarter due to the correction of an error in fiscal 2004 and 2005 income tax expense.

Quarterly VariationsFiscal 2005

Sales and revenues declined 9.6% from the third to the fourth quarters of fiscal 2005 due to the Companys exit from the exhaust manufacturing business. Business transformation charges of $12.3 million during fiscal 2005 pertained
primarily to the Companys exit from the exhaust manufacturing business. During the first quarter of 2005 the Company recorded a gain on sale of $0.8 million reflecting the sale of the Companys Huth exhaust equipment manufacturing
operation. During the third quarter of 2005 the Company recorded a loss on disposition of exhaust manufacturing equipment assets of $0.7 million. In March of 2005 the Company sold the Chicago distribution facility for a gain of $4.5 and entered into
a leaseback arrangement which allowed the company to continue to use the facility during the wind-down of operations. The company recognized gains of $1.1 million, $0.8 million and $0.8 million in the second, third and fourth quarters, respectively,
related to this distribution facility. In October of fiscal 2005 the Company entered into a new five-year unsecured $110 million revolving credit facility. The refinancing resulted in a loss on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $0.3
million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 due to the write-off of approximately $0.8 million in unamortized financing fees, which was partially offset by the recognition of a $0.5 million gain related to the Companys April 2004 interest
rate swap.
