Cautionary Statements on Forward-Looking Information

This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that relate to our business and financial outlook, and that are based on our current expectations,
estimates, forecast and projections. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as may, will, should, expects, plans, anticipates,
believes, estimates, predicts, potential, continue or other comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks,
uncertainties, estimates and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on any of these
forward-looking statements. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any such statement to reflect new information, or the occurrence of future events or changes
in circumstances.

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements
to encourage companies to provide prospective information about their companies without fear of litigation. We would like to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act in connection with
the forward-looking statements included in this document.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
indicated by the forward-looking statements or that could contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, integration of new systems, unanticipated expenditures, acquisitions and the successful integration of acquisitions into the
business, changing relationships with customers, suppliers and strategic partners, changes to governmental regulation of the tire industry, the impact of competitive products, changes to the competitive environment, the acceptance of new products in
the market, the economy and world events, as well as those items identified under the heading Risk Factors as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 26, 2008.

American Tire Distributors Holdings, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1. Nature of Business:

American Tire Distributors Holdings, Inc. (also referred to herein as Holdings, or the Company) is a Delaware corporation which
owns 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of American Tire Distributors, Inc., a Delaware corporation (ATD). Holdings has no significant assets or operations other than its ownership of ATD. ATD is primarily engaged in the
wholesale distribution of tires, custom wheels, and related automotive service equipment and has one reportable segment.

2. Basis of Presentation:

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for reporting on Form 10-Q and therefore do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, and changes in financial
position in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of
the Company, the results of its operations and cash flows have been made. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K. The
consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the quarter and nine months ended October 4, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results and cash flows that will be reported for the full fiscal year. The year-end
condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

The Companys fiscal year is based on either a 52- or 53-week period ending on the Saturday closest to each December 31. Therefore, the
financial results of 53-week fiscal years, and the associated 14-week quarters, will not be comparable to the prior and subsequent 52-week fiscal years and the associated quarters having only 13 weeks. The quarters ended October 4, 2008 and
September 29, 2007 contain operating results for 13 weeks. The nine months ended October 4, 2008 and September 29, 2007 contain operating results for 40 weeks and 39 weeks, respectively.

3. Inventories:

Inventories consist primarily of
automotive tires, custom wheels, automotive service equipment and related products and are valued at the lower of cost, determined on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method, or net realizable value. The Company performs periodic assessments to
determine the existence of obsolete, slow-moving and non-saleable inventories and records necessary provisions to reduce such inventories to net realizable value. A majority of the Companys tire vendors allow for the return of tire products,
subject to certain limitations. All of the Companys inventories are held as collateral under the revolving credit facility.

4. Assets Held for
Sale:

As of October 4, 2008, the Company has several residential properties, with an aggregate carrying value of $2.0 million
classified as assets held for sale. The Company acquired these properties as part of employee relocation packages. The Company is actively marketing these properties and anticipates that they will be sold within a twelve-month period.

5. Acquisitions

On December 7, 2007, the Company completed the purchase of all the outstanding membership interest of 6H-Homann, LLC and all of the sellers partnership interests of Homann Tire, LTD (collectively
Homann Tire) pursuant to the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of November 16, 2007. The aggregate purchase price of this acquisition, subject to final working capital adjustments, was approximately $6.6 million,
consisting of $6.3 million in cash, of which $0.6 million is held in escrow, and $0.3 million in direct acquisition costs. The amount held in escrow is not included in the allocation of the cost of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as it
represents contingent consideration for which the contingency has not been resolved. This acquisition expanded the Companys service across the state of Texas (further complementing our existing distribution centers) and allowed us to expand
into Louisiana. The preliminary purchase price allocation has been recorded in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements based on fair values for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and resulted in goodwill of $4.6
million, a customer relationship intangible asset of $3.9 million and a related deferred tax liability of $1.5 million.

On July 2,
2007, the Company completed the purchase of certain assets and the assumption of certain liabilities related to Martino Tire Company (Martino Tire) pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of July 2, 2007. The
aggregate purchase price of this acquisition was $9.4 million, consisting of $9.2 million in cash and $0.2 million in direct acquisition costs. This acquisition expanded the Companys service across the state of Florida and complemented its
existing distribution centers currently located within the state of Florida. The purchase price allocation has been recorded in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements based on fair values for the assets acquired and liabilities
assumed and resulted in goodwill of $7.8 million and a customer relationship intangible asset of $8.4 million. Amortization for both the goodwill and customer relationship intangible asset is deductible for income tax purposes. In addition, based
upon managements facility consolidation strategy developed as of the acquisition date, lease reserves of $5.2 million were established in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 95-3 Recognition of Liabilities in
Connection with a Purchase Business Combination. During second quarter 2008, certain refinements were made to these lease reserves to reflect the finalization of the exit cost estimates.

On May 31, 2007, the Company completed the purchase of all the outstanding stock of Jim Paris Tire City of Montbello, Inc. (Paris Tire)
pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement dated May 31, 2007. The aggregate purchase price of this acquisition was $6.2 million, consisting of $6.0 million in cash and $0.2 million in direct acquisition costs. This acquisition
expanded the Companys service across the state of Colorado and the Mid-West. The purchase price allocation has been recorded in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements based on fair values for the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed and resulted in goodwill of $2.0 million, a customer relationship intangible asset of $3.9 million and a related deferred tax liability of $1.5 million.

The Homann Tire, Martino Tire and Paris Tire acquisitions were financed through borrowings under ATDs amended revolving credit facility. These
acquisitions have been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the results of operations for the acquired businesses have been included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations from the date
of acquisition. These acquisitions do not rise to the level of being material business combinations, individually or in the aggregate.

6. Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets:

The Company has recorded, at October 4, 2008, goodwill of $370.3 million, including $4.6 million, $7.8
million and $2.0 million in connection with the purchases of Homann Tire, Martino Tire and Paris Tire, respectively (see Note 5 for further information). Approximately $30.2 million of net goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes in future
periods.

Other intangible assets represent customer lists, tradenames, noncompete agreements and software. Intangible assets with
indefinite lives are not amortized. Intangible assets with finite lives are being amortized on

In addition, the Company had $42.7 million of indefinite lived intangible assets, consisting of
tradenames, at October 4, 2008 and December 29, 2007.

Estimated intangible asset amortization expense for each of the next five
fiscal years is expected to be $3.4 million for the remaining three months in 2008, $13.8 million in 2009 and $13.7 million in fiscal years 2010 through 2012.

7. Long-term Debt and Other Financing Arrangements:

Revolving Credit Facility

On May 9, 2007, ATD entered into the Fifth Amendment to the Fourth Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the Amended
Revolver). The Borrowers to the Amended Revolver are ATD and its subsidiaries. The Amended Revolver provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility of up to $400.0 million (of which up to $25.0 million may be utilized in the form of
commercial and standby letters of credit), subject to a borrowing base formula. The Amended Revolver is collateralized primarily by ATDs inventories and accounts receivable. Fees incurred in connection with the amendment of $1.1 million and
the unamortized portion of deferred financing fees under the previously existing revolver are being deferred and amortized over the life of the new agreement. As of October 4, 2008, the outstanding Amended Revolver balance was $259.8 million.
In addition, ATD had certain letters of credit outstanding at October 4, 2008 in the aggregate amount of $7.4 million and $111.3 million was available for additional borrowings.

Borrowings under the Amended Revolver bear interest, at ATDs option, at either (i) the Base Rate, as defined, plus the applicable margin (0.0%
as of October 4, 2008) or (ii) the Eurodollar Rate, as defined, plus the applicable margin (1.50% as of October 4, 2008). At October 4, 2008 and December 29, 2007, borrowings under the Amended Revolver were at a weighted
average interest rate of 4.7% and 6.7%, respectively. The applicable margin for the loans varies based upon a performance grid, as defined in the agreement.

All obligations under the Amended Revolver are guaranteed by Holdings and each of ATDs existing and future direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries that are not direct obligors thereunder. Obligations under the
Amended Revolver are also collateralized by a pledge of substantially all assets of the obligors, including all shares of ATDs capital stock and that of ATDs subsidiaries, subject to certain limitations.

The Amended Revolver contains covenants that, among other things, require ATD to meet a fixed charge coverage ratio if ATD does not have at least $35.0
million available to be drawn under the Amended Revolver (subject to a cure); restrict ATDs ability to incur additional debt; enter into guaranties; make loans and investments; declare dividends; modify certain material agreements or
organizational documents relating to preferred stock; and change the business it conducts, as well as other customary covenants. As of October 4, 2008 and December 29, 2007, ATD was in compliance with these covenants. The Amended Revolver
expires on December 31, 2011.

Senior Discount Notes

On March 31, 2005, Holdings issued Senior Discount Notes with a maturity date of October 1, 2013 at an aggregate principal amount at maturity of
$51.5 million. The Senior Discount Notes were issued at a substantial discount from their principal amount at maturity and generated net proceeds of approximately $40.0 million. Prior to April 1, 2007, no interest accrued on the Senior Discount
Notes. Instead, the Senior Discount Notes accreted at a rate of 13% compounded semi-annually to an aggregate accreted value of $51.5 million, the full principal amount at maturity. Subsequent to April 1, 2007, interest on the Senior Discount
Notes accrues at a rate of 13% per annum and is payable, in cash, semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing on October 1, 2007.

The Senior Discount Notes are subject to redemption at any time at the option of Holdings, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60
days notice, at certain redemption prices plus accrued and unpaid interest. On April 1, 2010, if any Senior Discount Notes are outstanding, Holdings will be required to redeem 12.165% of each of the then outstanding Senior Discount
Notes aggregate accreted value at a redemption price of 100% of the accreted value of the portion of the Senior Discount Notes so redeemed.

Senior Notes

On March 31, 2005, ATD issued Senior Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $150.0 million,
resulting in net proceeds of approximately $144.2 million after debt issuance costs. The Senior Notes have an annual coupon rate of 10.75% and will mature on April 1, 2013. Except as described below, the Senior Notes are not redeemable at the
option of ATD prior to April 1, 2009. Thereafter, the Senior Notes will be subject to redemption at any time at the option of ATD, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days notice, at certain redemption prices plus
accrued and unpaid interest. Interest on the Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing on October 1, 2005.

ATD may at any time prior to April 1, 2009, upon a change of control, redeem all of the Senior Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal
amount plus accrued and unpaid interest plus a make-whole premium.

Senior Floating Rate Notes

On March 31, 2005, ATD issued Senior Floating Rate Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $140.0 million, resulting in net proceeds of
approximately $134.5 million after debt issuance costs. The Senior Floating Rate Notes will mature on April 1, 2012. Interest on the Senior Floating Rate Notes is payable quarterly in arrears at a rate equal to the three-month LIBOR, reset
quarterly, plus 6.25%, on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning on July 1, 2005. The interest rate on the Senior Floating Rate Notes ranged between 8.95% and 11.48% for the nine months
ended October 4, 2008 and was 11.61% for the nine months ended September 29, 2007. The Senior Floating Rate Notes are subject to redemption at any time at the option of ATD, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60
days notice, at certain redemption prices plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The indentures governing the Senior Notes, Senior
Floating Rate Notes, and the Senior Discount Notes contain specified restrictions with respect to the conduct of the Companys business as well as specified restrictive covenants limiting, among other things, the Companys ability to pay
dividends on or repurchase capital stock, repurchase or make early payments on subordinated debt, make investments, incur additional indebtedness, incur or assume liens on the Companys assets to secure debt, merge or consolidate with another
company, transfer or sell assets, and enter into transactions with affiliates.

Derivative Instruments

On October 11, 2005, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement (the Swap) to manage exposure to fluctuations in interest
rates. The Swap represents a contract to exchange floating rate for fixed



11



---

##### Table of Contents

interest payments periodically over the life of the agreement without exchange of the underlying notional amount. The notional amount of the Swap is used to
measure interest to be paid or received and does not represent the amount of exposure to credit loss. At October 4, 2008, the Swap in place covers a notional amount of $85.0 million of the $140.0 million of Senior Floating Rate Notes at a fixed
interest rate of 4.79% and expires on September 30, 2010. This Swap has been designated for hedge accounting treatment. Accordingly, the Company recognizes the fair value of the Swap in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and
any changes in the fair value are recorded as adjustments to other comprehensive income (loss). The fair value of the Swap is the estimated amount that the Company would pay or receive to terminate the agreement at the reporting date. The fair value
of the Swap was a liability of $2.6 million at October 4, 2008 and $2.1 million at December 29, 2007 and is included in other liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets with the offset included in other
comprehensive income (loss), net of tax.

8. Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and expands disclosures about
fair value measurements. This statement does not require any new fair value measurements; rather, it applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial
assets and financial liabilities in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The provisions of this statement are to be
applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which this statement is initially applied, with any transition adjustment recognized as a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The Company adopted
SFAS No. 157 for financial assets and financial liabilities on December 30, 2007 (the first day of its 2008 fiscal year) which resulted in a $0.3 million decrease in the opening balance of accumulated deficit. The Company is currently
evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the application of SFAS No. 157 to its nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities.

SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

SFAS No. 157s valuation techniques are based on observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect readily obtainable data from
independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Companys market assumptions. SFAS No. 157 classifies these inputs into the following hierarchy:

Level 1 Inputs  Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2
Inputs  Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers
are observable.

Level 3 Inputs  Instruments with primarily unobservable value drivers.

As of October 4, 2008, the Companys deferred compensation plan
assets, held in a rabbi trust, were invested in approximately 10 diversified and long standing mutual fund portfolios. As of October 4, 2008, these investments included approximately $0.6 million of unrealized losses. The Company reviews the
fair value of its investment portfolio on a periodic basis to identify declines in fair value below the carrying value that are other-than-temporary. The Companys other-than-temporary assessment includes reviewing the extent and duration of
declines in fair values of investments, the nature of the holdings, and the sectors in which the portfolios are invested. The Company believes that the unrealized losses as of October 4, 2008 are temporary and bases this conclusion on
managements current understanding of the issuers of these investments, as described above. It is possible that the Company could recognize future impairment losses on some of the securities owned at October 4, 2008 if future events, new
information and the passage of time cause the Company to determine that a decline in value is other-than-temporary.

In addition, effective
December 30, 2007, the Company adopted SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which provides entities the option to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair
value. Entities that choose the fair value option will recognize unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option was elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The Company has currently chosen not to elect the fair
value option for any items that are not already required to be measured at fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

9. Income Taxes:

The income tax provision recognized in the accompanying condensed consolidated
statements of operations was based on an effective tax rate of 43.2% for the quarter ended October 4, 2008, 63.3% for the quarter ended September 29, 2007, 43.7% for the nine months ended October 4, 2008 and 65.1% for the nine months
ended September 29, 2007. The income tax provision recorded for the quarter and nine months ended October 4, 2008 has been estimated based on year-to-date income and projected results for the full year. The final effective tax rate to be
applied to fiscal 2008 will depend on the actual amount of pre-tax income (loss) generated by the Company by tax jurisdiction for the full year.

The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48),
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, on December 31, 2006 (the first day of its 2007 fiscal year). FIN 48 specifies the way companies are to account for uncertainty in income
tax reporting, and prescribes a methodology for recognizing, reversing, and measuring the tax benefits of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return.

At October 4, 2008, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $3.7 million, of which $3.3 million is included within accrued expenses, which includes $0.3 million relating to accrued interest and penalties;
the other $0.4 million is included within other liabilities within the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. Of the Companys $3.7 million unrecognized tax benefits as of October 4, 2008, only $0.3 million is anticipated to
have an affect on the Companys effective tax rate, if recognized. The residual amount, excluding temporary timing differences, relates to a previous acquisition of the Company and would be recognized as an offset to goodwill, in accordance
with EITF No. 93-7, Uncertainties Related to Income Taxes in a Purchase Business Combination. In addition, of the Companys $3.3 million current liability for uncertain tax positions, approximately $1.5 million relates to
temporary timing differences. During the next 12 months, management believes that it is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by approximately $1.8 million due to settlement of audit exposures and expiration
of statues of limitations, which includes $0.1 million that would reduce income tax expense.

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

The Company files federal income tax returns, as
well as multiple state jurisdiction tax returns. The tax years 2005  2007 remain open to examination by the taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.

10. Stock Options:

In April 2008, the Company granted options to James Hardymon, a member of the
Companys Board of Directors, under the 2005 Management Stock Incentive Plan to purchase 800 shares of Series A Common Stock with an exercise price of $376.40. The options expire no later than 7 years and 30 calendar days from the date of grant
and vest in equal installments over three years commencing on December 31, 2008. None of the options granted in second quarter 2008 are vested as of October 4, 2008.

In determining the fair value of stock options, the Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model when applying the provisions of SFAS
No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123(R)). The fair value of

##### Table of Contents

the options granted during second quarter 2008, estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, was $161.13. The fair value of
options granted was determined using the following assumptions: a risk-free interest rate of 3.04%; no dividend yield; expected life of 7 years and 30 calendar days, which equals the terms of the options; and 35% volatility. As the Company does not
have sufficient historical volatility data for its own common stock, the stock price volatility utilized in the calculation is based on the Companys peer group in the industry in which it does business.

11. Redeemable Preferred Stock:

In connection with
the acquisition of ATD, Holdings issued 20,000 shares of 8% cumulative mandatorily redeemable preferred stock to The 1818 Mezzanine Fund II, L.P. (The 1818 Fund) in exchange for $15.4 million in cash less related transaction costs of
$0.5 million. The cumulative preferred stock has a stated value of $1,000 per share and holders will be entitled to receive, when and if declared by the Board of Directors, cumulative dividends, payable in cash, at an annual rate of 8.0%. The
dividends and accretion of the carrying amount to the redemption amount is recorded as interest expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Holdings Board of Directors is not obligated to declare dividends and
the preferred stock provides no monetary penalties for a failure to declare dividends. The cumulative preferred stock may be redeemed by Holdings at any time beginning on the first anniversary of the issuance of the stock and will be required to be
redeemed upon a change of control of Holdings and at its maturity in 2015. The 8% cumulative mandatorily redeemable preferred stock is classified as a noncurrent liability in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets in accordance with
SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity.

12. Commitments and
Contingencies:

Guaranteed Lease Obligations

The Company remains liable as a guarantor on certain leases of Winston Tire Company, its discontinued retail segment. As of October 4, 2008, total obligations of the Company as guarantor on these leases is
approximately $7.0 million extending over 11 years. However, the Company has secured assignments or sublease agreements for the vast majority of these commitments with contractual assigned or subleased rentals of approximately $6.6 million. A
provision has been made for the net present value of the estimated shortfall.

Legal and Tax Proceedings

The Company is involved from time to time in various lawsuits, including class action lawsuits, as well as various audits and reviews regarding its
federal, state and local tax filings, arising out of the ordinary conduct of its business. Management does not expect that any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Companys business or financial condition. As to tax
filings, the Company believes that the various tax filings have been made in a timely fashion and in accordance with applicable federal, state and local tax code requirements. Additionally, the Company believes that it has adequately provided for
any reasonably foreseeable resolution of any tax disputes, but will adjust its reserves if events so dictate in accordance with FIN 48. To the extent that the ultimate results differ from the original or adjusted estimates of the Company, the effect
will be recorded in accordance with FIN 48 and EITF No. 93-7. See Note 9 for further description of FIN 48 and the related impacts.

13. Shipping
and Handling Costs:

Certain Company shipping, handling and other distribution costs are classified as selling, general and
administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Such expenses totaled $25.0 million and $23.5 million for the quarters ended October 4, 2008 and September 29, 2007, respectively, and $76.0
million and $65.8 million for the nine months ended October 4, 2008 and September 29, 2007, respectively. Shipping revenue is classified within net sales in accordance with EITF Issue No. 00-10, Accounting for Shipping and
Handling Fees and Costs.

14. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (SFAS No. 162).
SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States. SFAS No. 162 will become effective 60 days following the SECs approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of
Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 162 to have a material impact on its results of operations and financial position.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets. This
FSP amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FASB Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
(SFAS No. 142). The intent of this FSP is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset
under SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations and other U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. This FSP is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and interim periods
within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this FSP, if any, on its results of operations and financial position.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities  an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (SFAS No. 161). SFAS No. 161 is intended
to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entitys financial position, financial performance, and cash
flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of
SFAS No. 161.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations  a replacement of FASB
Statement No. 141, (SFAS No. 141 (R)). SFAS No. 141 (R) requires an acquiring entity to recognize, with limited exceptions, all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the
acquisition-date fair value. In addition, SFAS No. 141(R) will require acquisition costs to be expensed as incurred, acquired contingent liabilities will be recorded at fair value at the acquisition date and subsequently measured at either the
higher of such amount or the amount determined under existing guidance for non-acquired contingencies, restructuring costs associated with a business combination will be generally expensed subsequent to the acquisition date and changes in deferred
tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally will affect income tax expense. SFAS No. 141 (R) also includes a substantial number of new disclosure requirements. SFAS No. 141(R) is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and is to be applied prospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 141 (R) to have a material impact on its financial position or results of
operations; however, the prospective application of the provisions of SFAS No. 141 (R) could have a material impact on the fair values assigned to assets and liabilities of future acquisitions and could cause greater volatility in future
financial statements due to the requirement to adjust increases in contingent liabilities, or decreases in contingent assets through the statement of operations subsequent to the acquisition date.

15. Subsequent Events:

On October 8, 2008, the
Company completed the purchase of certain assets and the assumption of certain liabilities of Remington Tire Distributors, Inc., d/b/a Grays Wholesale Tire Distributors (Grays Tire) pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase
Agreement dated as of October 8, 2008. This acquisition expands the Companys service across the states of Texas and Oklahoma and will complement the Companys existing distribution centers currently located within the states of Texas
and Oklahoma.

|Item 2. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
|------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As used in this report on Form 10-Q, the terms Holdings, Company, we, us, our, and
similar terms refer to American Tire Distributors Holdings, Inc., and its subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise. The term ATD refers to American Tire Distributors, Inc. and its subsidiaries. The following discussion and
analysis of our consolidated results of operations, financial condition and liquidity should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K and our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in Part I of this
report on Form 10-Q.

Our fiscal year is based on either a 52- or 53-week period ending on the Saturday closest to each
December 31. Therefore, the financial results of 53-week fiscal years, and the associated 14-week quarters, will not be comparable to the prior and subsequent 52-week fiscal years and the associated quarters having only 13 weeks. The quarters
ended October 4, 2008 and September 29, 2007 contain operating results for 13 weeks. The nine months ended October 4, 2008 and September 29, 2007 contain operating results for 40 weeks and 39 weeks, respectively.

Overview

According to Modern Tire Dealer, we are
the largest distributor of tires to the U.S. replacement tire market, a $29.4 billion industry in 2007. The U.S. replacement market has historically experienced stable growth primarily driven by several positive industry trends such as an
increase in the number of vehicles on the road, an increase in the number of licensed drivers, an increase in the number of miles driven, and an increase in the average age of vehicles. This year comparable unit replacement tire demand has
softened, down 6.2% for the nine-month period ended October 4, 2008 from the same period in 2007, as reported by the Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA), which has been only partially offset by manufacturer price
increases. During this same period we have achieved a 2.8% increase in unit replacement tire demand. Our above-market growth resulted, in part, from the inclusion of acquisitions, which contributed 3.2% of the increase, and the inclusion of an
additional week in our first quarter 2008, which contributed 2.3% of the increase. Comparable unit replacement tire demand, as reported by the RMA, has sequentially softened each quarter this year, down 3.0% in first quarter, down 4.3% in
second quarter and down 11.0% in third quarter. We believe the weakened industry demand has been due, in part, to the rise in fuel prices, a corresponding reduction in miles driven as well as the more recent economic uncertainty. We expect
these conditions to continue to impact the industry for the remainder of 2008 and into 2009. Despite these economic uncertainties, we will continue to implement our business strategies that are focused on achieving above market results during
both contracting and expanding market demand cycles. While these strategies have been successful for us during the first nine months of 2008, we cannot guarantee the overall success of these strategies during the remainder of 2008 and beyond.

Dynamics affecting the industry include an increase in high and ultra-high performance and larger rim diameter tires and shorter tire
replacement cycles as related to high performance and ultra-high performance tires. Our ultra-high performance tires are our highest profit products and also have relatively shorter replacement cycles. High and ultra-high performance tires
have shown higher sales demand than the overall replacement tire market. According to Modern Tire Dealer, the number of units sold in this subcategory industry-wide increased by 9.0% from 2006 to 2007 however, according to the RMA, unit demand
has softened in the first nine months of 2008, down 0.7% as compared with the first nine months of 2007. During these same periods and excluding acquisitions and the additional week in our first quarter 2008, our high and ultra-high performance
tire unit sales were up 29.4% and 11.5%, respectively, due in large part to our increased breadth and depth of product offering. We expect the trend of selling more high and ultra-high performance tires to be an ongoing area of strategic focus
for us and the industry as a whole, and we believe that we are well positioned to benefit from this rising dynamic.

Our revenues are
primarily generated from sales of passenger car and light truck tires, which represent approximately 77.7% of our net sales for the quarter ended October 4, 2008. The remainder of net sales is

derived from other tire sales (13.2%), custom wheels (4.2%), automotive service equipment (2.1%), and other products (2.8%). We sell our products to a
variety of customers and geographic markets. We have continued to expand and geographically diversify our operations in recent years by executing a strategy that includes both growth through acquisitions and organic growth, including greenfield
startups and expansions and updates of existing facilities to improve capabilities within local markets. Over the past four years, we have successfully acquired and integrated eight businesses representing approximately $328 million in annual net
sales. As we continue to expand our market presence, we have been able to effectively leverage our scalable distribution infrastructure to achieve higher growth and increased profit.

On December 7, 2007, we completed the purchase of all of the outstanding membership interests of 6H-Homann, LLC and all of the sellers
partnership interests of Homann Tire, LTD (collectively Homann Tire) pursuant to the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of November 16, 2007. The aggregate purchase price of this acquisition, subject to final working
capital adjustments, was approximately $6.6 million, consisting of $6.3 million in cash, of which $0.6 million is held in escrow, and $0.3 million in direct acquisition costs. This acquisition expanded our service across the state of Texas (further
complementing our existing distribution centers) and allowed us to expand into Louisiana.

On July 2, 2007, we completed the purchase
of certain assets and the assumption of certain liabilities related to Martino Tire Company (Martino Tire) pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of July 2, 2007. The aggregate purchase price of this
acquisition was $9.4 million, consisting of $9.2 million in cash and $0.2 million in direct acquisition costs. This acquisition expanded our service across the state of Florida and complemented our existing distribution centers currently located
within the state of Florida.

On May 31, 2007, we completed the purchase of all the outstanding stock of Jim Paris Tire City of
Montbello, Inc. (Paris Tire) pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement dated May 31, 2007. The aggregate purchase price of this acquisition was $6.2 million, consisting of $6.0 million in cash and $0.2 million in direct

The Homann Tire, Martino Tire and
Paris Tire acquisitions were financed through borrowings under ATDs amended revolving credit facility. These acquisitions have been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the results of operations for the
acquired businesses have been included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations from the date of acquisition.

Net Sales

Sales decreased $2.9 million in third quarter 2008 primarily reflecting the soft demand environment which resulted in lower tire unit sales of $50.1 million and lower equipment and supply sales of $2.7 million. Tire
pricing, net of selective promotional activities, of $40.8 million partially offset these decreases as we continued to pass-through manufacturer price increases. In addition, acquisitions, including Paris Tire, Martino Tire and Homann Tire,
contributed an incremental $9.6 million which further offset the decreases noted above.

Gross Profit

Gross profit in third quarter 2008 increased $7.8 million primarily due to contributions from our 2007 acquisitions and tire pricing including a favorable
inventory cost layer (i.e. the benefit from the sale of inventory in third quarter 2008 that was purchased prior to manufacturer price increases). Lower tire unit sales volumes partially offset these increases.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

The
increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of $1.6 million is due, in part, to higher facility lease and utilities expense of $0.7 million and increased fuel cost of $1.6 million due primarily to higher fuel cost per gallon. These
expenses were partially offset by lower employee-related expenses of $1.3 million primarily related to lower incentive compensation.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 0.4% as a percentage of net sales to 13.5% in third quarter 2008 from 13.1% in third quarter 2007 but included a 0.3% increase related to fuel expense.

Interest Expense

The decrease in interest expense for third quarter 2008 is primarily due to lower interest rates on our variable rate debt, partially offset by higher overall debt levels.

Provision for Income Taxes

We recognized an income
tax provision of $5.0 million in third quarter 2008 based on pre-tax income of $11.5 million, compared with an income tax provision of $2.8 million in third quarter 2007 based on a pre-tax income of $4.4 million. The effective tax rate in third
quarter 2008 was 43.2% compared with 63.3% in third quarter 2007. The decrease in the effective tax rate is due primarily to a higher projected pre-tax income level for 2008 as compared to 2007 with a consistent anticipated amount from permanent
differences (including the impact of preferred stock dividends that are not deductible for income tax purposes). The income tax provision recorded for third quarter 2008 has been computed based on year-to-date income and projected results for the
full year. The final effective tax rate to be applied to fiscal 2008 will depend on the actual amount of pre-tax income (loss) generated by us for the full year.

Net Income

The increase in net income of $4.9 million is due to improvement in contributed gross profit dollars,
contributions from acquisitions and lower interest expense, partially offset by an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, as discussed above, and the fluctuation in the income tax provision between periods.

Net Sales

Sales increased $118.0 million in the nine-month period of 2008 primarily driven by tire pricing, net of selective promotional activities, which contributed $80.6 million in the nine-month period of 2008 as we passed-

through manufacturer price increases. In addition, our acquisitions of Paris Tire, Martino Tire and Homann Tire in 2007 contributed an additional $49.5
million to the year-over-year increase. A decline in commercial truck tire unit sales of $12.9 million partially offset these increases.

Gross Profit

Gross profit in the nine-month period of 2008 increased $30.1 million primarily due to contributions from our 2007 acquisitions and
pass through of manufacturer price increases which provided for a favorable inventory cost layer (i.e. the benefit from the sale of inventory in the nine-month period of 2008 that was purchased prior to manufacturer price increases). Lower tire unit
sales volumes, despite the additional week in our nine-month period of 2008, partially offset these increases.

Selling, General and Administrative
Expenses

The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of $15.9 million is due, in part, to our fiscal 2007 acquired
operations. The acquisitions of Paris Tire, Martino Tire and Homann Tire collectively accounted for approximately $4.8 million of the increase. Additionally, employee-related expenses increased $5.0 million, which includes approximately $2.1 million
from the additional week in 2008 versus 2007, facility lease and utilities expense increased $1.5 million and fuel cost increased $4.1 million year-over-year due primarily to higher fuel cost per gallon.

As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses remained flat year-over-year at 13.5% despite a 0.3% increase in fuel cost
year-over-year.

Interest Expense

The
$2.0 million decrease in interest expense for the nine-month period of 2008 was due to lower interest rates on our variable rate debt, partially offset by higher overall debt levels.

Provision for Income Taxes

We recognized an income tax provision of $8.2 million in the nine-month
period of 2008 based on pre-tax income of $18.8 million, compared to an income tax provision of $2.1 million in the nine-month period of 2007 based on a pre-tax income of $3.2 million. The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2008 was
43.7% compared with 65.1% for the corresponding period in 2007. The decrease in the effective tax rate is due primarily to a higher projected pre-tax income level for 2008 as compared to 2007 with a consistent anticipated amount from permanent
differences (primarily the impact of preferred stock dividends that are not deductible for income tax purposes). The income tax provision recorded for the first nine months of 2008 has been computed based on year-to-date income and projected results
for the full year. The final effective tax rate to be applied to fiscal 2008 will depend on the actual amount of pre-tax income (loss) generated by us for the full year.

Net Income

Net income for the nine-month period of 2008 increased $9.4 million due in part to
improvement in contributed gross profit dollars and lower interest expense, partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses, as discussed above, and fluctuations in the income tax provision between the nine-month periods.

Critical Accounting Polices and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that

affect the amounts reported. Please see the discussion of critical accounting policies and estimates in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. During the nine
months ended October 4, 2008, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies.

Liquidity and Capital
Resources

At October 4, 2008 our total debt, including capital leases, was $625.3 million compared to $539.9 million at
December 29, 2007, an increase of $85.4 million. Increased borrowings under ATDs amended revolving credit facility (primarily driven by higher working capital associated with increased business activity, including our election to
strategically hold higher levels of inventory thru the third quarter; as well as timing of interest payments on our senior notes, income tax payments and incentive compensation payments made during the first nine months of 2008) contributed to the
increase in total debt. Total commitments by the lenders under our revolving credit facility were $400.0 million at October 4, 2008, of which $111.3 million was available for additional borrowings. The amount available to borrow under the
amended revolving credit facility is limited by the borrowing base computation, as defined in the agreement.

Operating Activities

Cash used in operating activities increased $100.5 million to $77.1 million in the nine months ended October 4, 2008 compared to cash provided by operating activities of $23.4 million in the nine months ended
September 29, 2007. The increase in cash used in operating activities was primarily due to an increase in our net working capital requirements. For the nine months ended October 4, 2008, our change in operating assets and liabilities
generated a cash outflow of approximately $109.6 million, primarily driven by increases in accounts receivables and inventories combined with a decrease in accrued expenses partially offset by an increase in accounts payable. The decrease in accrued
expenses is primarily due to interest payments on our senior notes, income tax payments and incentive compensation payments that were made during the nine months ended October 4, 2008. Comparatively, during the same period of 2007, our change
in operating assets and liabilities generated a cash inflow of $0.1 million, primarily driven by increases in accounts receivables and inventories that were essentially offset by increases in accounts payable.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in
investing activities decreased $10.0 million to $11.1 million in the nine months ended October 4, 2008 compared to $21.1 million in the nine months ended September 29, 2007. The decrease in cash

##### Table of Contents

used in investing activities was primarily due to a reduction in cash paid for acquisitions, which declined $15.3 million partially offset by an increase in
purchase levels of property and equipment. The increase in purchase levels of property and equipment was due, in part, to the expansion of one of our distribution centers. Capital expenditures for the nine-months ended October 4, 2008 also
included information technology upgrades and warehouse racking.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities increased $92.0 million to $92.6 million in the nine months ended October 4, 2008 compared to $0.6 million
in the nine months ended September 29, 2007. The increase in cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to increased borrowings from our amended revolving credit facility due, in part, to higher cash payments for interest and taxes
in the nine months ended October 4, 2008, as well as the increase in working capital requirements discussed above.

Revolving Credit Facility

On May 9, 2007, ATD entered into the Fifth Amendment to the Fourth Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the
Amended Revolver). The Borrowers to the Amended Revolver are ATD and its subsidiaries. The Amended Revolver provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility of up to $400.0 million (of which up to $25.0 million may be utilized in
the form of commercial and standby letters of credit), subject to a borrowing base formula. The Amended Revolver is collateralized primarily by ATDs inventories and accounts receivable. As of October 4, 2008, the outstanding Amended
Revolver balance was $259.8 million. In addition, ATD has certain letters of credit outstanding at October 4, 2008 in the aggregate amount of $7.4 million and at that same date, $111.3 million was available for additional borrowings.

Borrowings under the Amended Revolver bear interest, at ATDs option, at either (i) the Base Rate, as defined, plus the
applicable margin (0.0% as of October 4, 2008) or (ii) the Eurodollar Rate, as defined, plus the applicable margin (1.50% as of October 4, 2008). At October 4, 2008 and December 29, 2007, borrowings under the Amended
Revolver were at a weighted average interest rate of 4.7% and 6.7%, respectively. The applicable margin for the loans varies based upon a performance-based grid, as defined in the agreement.

All obligations under the Amended Revolver are guaranteed by Holdings and each of ATDs existing and future direct and indirect domestic
subsidiaries that are not direct obligors thereunder. Obligations under the Amended Revolver are collateralized by a pledge of substantially all assets of the obligors, including all shares of ATDs capital stock and that of ATDs
subsidiaries, subject to certain limitations.

The Amended Revolver contains covenants that, among other things, require ATD to meet a
fixed charge coverage ratio if ATD does not have at least $35.0 million available to be drawn under the Amended Revolver (subject to a cure); restricts ATDs ability to incur additional debt; enter into guarantees; make loans and investments;
declare dividends; modify certain material agreements or organizational documents relating to preferred stock; and change the business it conducts, as well as other customary covenants. As of October 4, 2008 and December 29, 2007, ATD was
in compliance with these covenants. The Amended Revolver expires on December 31, 2011.

Supplemental Disclosures of Cash Flow Information

Cash payments for interest increased $18.2 million to $50.2 million in the nine-month period ended October 4, 2008 compared to
$32.0 million in the nine-month period ended September 29, 2007 primarily due to timing of our quarter end on October 4, 2008 and, as such, included $14.6 million related to the October 1st interest payments on our senior notes. In
addition, interest payments on our Senior Discount Notes began on October 1, 2007 and accordingly, the cash payments for interest amount for the nine-month period ended October 4, 2008 includes interest payments relating to our Senior
Discount Notes that were not included in the nine-month period ended September 29, 2007.

Cash payments for taxes increased $9.4 million to $11.4 million in the nine-month period ended
October 4, 2008 compared to $2.0 million in the nine-month period ended September 29, 2007 primarily due to payments of fiscal 2007 income taxes during the extension period in 2008. The increase in income tax payments was a result of
higher pre-tax income during fiscal 2007 compared to fiscal 2006.

Indenture EBITDA

We evaluate liquidity based on several factors, of which the primary financial measure is Indenture EBITDA. The presentation of Indenture EBITDA, a
non-GAAP financial measure, and ratios based thereon, do not comply with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States because they are adjusted to exclude certain cash expenses, as defined in the indentures. We present Indenture
EBITDA as it is used to determine our compliance with covenants contained in the related indentures governing our notes. The covenants are tied to ratios based on Indenture EBITDA, referred to as Consolidated Cash Flows in the indenture agreement,
and restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness and to issue preferred stock. Indenture EBITDA as used herein represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and other adjustments permitted in calculating
covenant compliance under the indentures. We believe that the inclusion of this supplementary information is necessary for investors to understand our ability to comply with the financial covenants and debt service of the notes. Indenture EBITDA
should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, cash flows as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The following table is a reconciliation of the most directly comparable
GAAP measure, net cash (used in) provided by operating activities, to Indenture EBITDA (in thousands):

Total Indenture EBITDA for the nine months ended October 4, 2008 increased $11.7 million to
$82.7 million compared to $71.0 million in the nine months ended September 29, 2007 due primarily to favorable tire pricing, including the benefit from a favorable inventory cost layer in the nine-month period of 2008, and our acquisitions made
during 2007.

We anticipate that our principal use of cash going forward will be to meet working capital and debt service requirements, to
make capital expenditures, and to fund acquisitions. Based upon current and anticipated levels of operations, we believe that our cash flow from operations, together with amounts available under ATDs Amended Revolver, will be adequate to meet
our anticipated requirements for at least the next twelve months. In addition, we have total commitments by our lenders under our Amended Revolver of $400.0 million and we do not currently anticipate that any of our lenders will have a problem
meeting their commitments under that facility.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The only significant known remaining liability related to our retail business that was sold in 2001 is the exposure related to leases that we have
guaranteed. As of October 4, 2008, our total obligations, as guarantor on these leases are approximately $7.0 million extending over 11 years. However, we have secured assignments or sublease agreements for the vast majority of these
commitments with contractually assigned or subleased rentals of approximately $6.6 million. A provision has been made for the net present value of the estimated shortfall.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (SFAS No. 162). SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of
accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the
United States. SFAS No. 162 will become effective 60 days following the Securities and Exchange Commissions approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly
in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 162 to have a material impact on our results of operations and financial position.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets. This
FSP amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS
No. 142). The intent of this FSP is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS
No. 141(R), Business Combinations and other U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. This FSP is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and interim periods within
those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impact of this FSP, if any, on our results of operations and financial position.

In
March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities  an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (SFAS No. 161). SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve
financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entitys financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS
No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. We are currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of SFAS No. 161.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations  a replacement of FASB Statement
No. 141, (SFAS No. 141 (R)). SFAS No. 141 (R) requires an acquiring entity to recognize, with limited exceptions, all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair
value. In addition, SFAS No. 141(R) will require acquisition costs to be expensed as incurred, acquired contingent liabilities will be recorded at fair value at the acquisition date and subsequently measured at either the higher of such amount
or the amount determined under existing guidance for non-acquired contingencies, restructuring costs associated with a business combination will be generally expensed subsequent to the acquisition date and changes in deferred tax asset valuation
allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally will affect income tax expense. SFAS No. 141 (R) also includes a substantial number of new disclosure requirements. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2008 and is to be applied prospectively. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 141 (R) to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations; however, the prospective
application of the provisions of SFAS No. 141 (R) could have a material impact on the fair values assigned to assets and liabilities of future acquisitions

and could cause greater volatility in future financial statements due to the requirement to adjust increases in contingent liabilities, or decreases in
contingent assets through the statement of operations subsequent to the acquisition date.



|Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
|------- | -----------------------------------------------------------

For the period ended October 4, 2008, we did not experience any material changes from the quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk presented in our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

On October 11, 2005, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement (the Swap) to manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates.
The Swap represents a contract to exchange floating rate for fixed interest payments periodically over the life of the agreement without exchange of the underlying notional amount. The notional amount of the Swap is used to measure interest to be
paid or received and does not represent the amount of exposure to credit loss. At October 4, 2008, the Swap in place covers a notional amount of $85.0 million of the $140.0 million of Senior Floating Rate Notes at a fixed interest rate of 4.79%
and expires on September 30, 2010. This Swap has been designated for hedge accounting treatment. Accordingly, we recognize the fair value of the Swap in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and any changes in the fair value
are recorded as adjustments to other comprehensive income (loss). The fair value of the Swap is the estimated amount that we would pay or receive to terminate the agreement at the reporting date. The fair value of the Swap was a liability of $2.6
million at October 4, 2008 and $2.1 million at December 29, 2007 and is included in other liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets with the offset included in other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax.



|Item 4. | Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures



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

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

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended October 4, 2008, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We are, however, currently implementing a conversion of our legacy computer system to Oracle. We have already implemented the general ledger as
well as the accounts payable, inventory and accounts receivable functions on Oracle but still must transition other key functions. We cannot be sure that the transition will be fully implemented on a timely basis, if at all. If we do not
successfully implement this project, our controls over financial reporting may be disrupted and our operations adversely affected.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION



|Item 1. | Legal Proceedings.
|------- | ------------------

We are
involved from time to time in various lawsuits, including alleged class action lawsuits arising out of the ordinary conduct of our business. We do not expect that any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our business or financial
condition.



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

Other than
with respect to the risk factor discussed below, there have been no material changes in the risk factors as of October 4, 2008, as previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 29, 2007.

Uncertain conditions in the economy and credit markets could have an adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations.

Recent economic conditions, including concerns about a potential recession and the
failure, collapse or sale of various financial institutions, have resulted in unprecedented government intervention in the United States. While the ultimate outcome of these events cannot be predicted, it may have a material adverse effect on
us and our ability to borrow money in the credit markets and potentially to draw on our revolving credit facility or otherwise. Similarly, our customers and suppliers may be unable to borrow money to fund their operations which may adversely
impact their ability to purchase and pay for our products or to fulfill our demand for product.
