Cautionary Statements on Forward-Looking Information



This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements relating to our business
and financial outlook, which 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. Similarly, statements that describe our
future operating performance, financial results, financial position, plans, objectives, strategies or goals are forward-looking statements. 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, the occurrence of future events or circumstances or otherwise.



The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides
a safe harbor for forward-looking statements to encourage companies to provide prospective information about themselves 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 our 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 impact of adverse weather conditions on our operations,
the economy and world events, as well as those items identified under the heading Risk Factors in our Amended Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed on September 16, 2005.

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, the Company or the
Successor) 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. The operations of ATD and its subsidiaries, or the Predecessor, constitute the operations of Holdings presented under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. ATD is primarily engaged in the
wholesale distribution of tires, custom wheels, and related automotive service equipment and has one reportable segment with 73 distribution centers organized along geographic lines into eight regions across the U.S. These regions have been
aggregated into one reportable segment.



2. Basis of Presentation:



On March 31, 2005, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan
of Merger (the Merger Agreement), dated as of February 4, 2005 and amended and restated on March 7, 2005, among Holdings, ATD MergerSub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (MergerSub), Charlesbank Equity Fund IV, L.P., a
Massachusetts limited partnership, Charlesbank Capital Partners, LLC, a Massachusetts limited liability company and ATD; MergerSub merged with and into ATD with ATD being the surviving corporation (also referred to herein as the Merger
or the Acquisition). As a result of the Acquisition, ATD became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings (see Note 3 for further information). The Acquisition was completed on March 31, 2005.



The Acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, in accordance with the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, Business Combinations. Accordingly, the purchase price of the Acquisition has been allocated to the Companys assets and liabilities based
upon their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. This allocation is preliminary and includes a number of estimates which, upon further evaluation, may require modification. Periods prior to April 2, 2005 reflect the financial position,
results of operations, and changes in financial position of the Predecessor and periods after April 2, 2005 reflect the financial position, results of operations, and changes in financial position of Holdings and its subsidiaries (the
Successor). For accounting purposes, the effects of purchase accounting were applied on April 2, 2005. The activity of the Company for the period March 31, 2005 through April 2, 2005 is included in the Predecessors
condensed consolidated statement of operations. Cash flow activity for the three-day period from March 31, 2005 through April 2, 2005 is included in the Predecessors condensed consolidated statement of cash flows except for cash flow
activity related to the Merger, which is shown in the Successors condensed consolidated statement of cash flows on April 2, 2005. The Company believes that the results of operations and cash flows, other than those related to the Merger,
are immaterial for the three-day period from March 31, 2005 through April 2, 2005.



On August 23, 2005, ATD completed the purchase of all the outstanding stock of Wholesale Tire Distributors, Inc., Wholesale Tire Distributors of Wyoming, Inc., and Wholesale Tire Distributors of Idaho, Inc.
(collectively Wholesale Tire) pursuant to the terms of that certain Stock Purchase Agreement dated August 5, 2005. The acquisition expanded ATDs operations into Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming as well as parts of Nevada, Colorado,
Nebraska and South Dakota. The acquisition was financed by ATDs revolving credit facility and has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, results of operations for the acquired business have been included in
the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations from the date of acquisition.



During third quarter 2004, ATD completed the purchase of all the outstanding stock of Texas Market Tire Holdings I, Inc., d/b/a Big State Tire Supply (Big State) and Target Tire, Inc. (Target
Tire). These acquisitions have been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, results of operations for the acquired businesses have been included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of
operations from the date of acquisition.

##### Table of Contents

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the
instructions to 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 the Company, 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 Companys Amended Registration Statement on Form S-4 and the financial statements and notes included therein. The results of operations for the quarter and
aggregate nine months ended October 1, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year.



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 certain fiscal years, and the associated 14-week quarters, will not be exactly comparable to the prior and subsequent 52-week fiscal years and the associated quarters having only 13 weeks. The quarters ended October 1,
2005, April 2, 2005 and October 2, 2004 contain operating results for 13 weeks. The six months ended October 1, 2005 contain operating results for 26 weeks and the nine months ended October 2, 2004 contain operating results
for 40 weeks.



Certain prior period amounts have been
reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.



3. Acquisition:



On March 31, 2005, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan
of Merger, dated as of February 4, 2005 and amended and restated on March 7, 2005, and in exchange for an aggregate purchase price of $710.0 million in cash, less the amount of ATDs net debt at January 1, 2005 and certain
dividends payable to holders of its preferred stock, its transaction expenses and certain payments to its management, MergerSub, a subsidiary of Holdings, merged with and into ATD. In connection with the Merger, all of ATDs existing redeemable
preferred stock was either redeemed or exchanged for redeemable preferred stock of Holdings and each holder of shares of ATDs common stock received a portion of the merger consideration equal to $18.83 per share. To the extent that any
existing holder of options or warrants to acquire shares of ATDs common stock did not exercise such options or warrants prior to the effective time of the Merger, such holder was paid an amount in cash equal to $18.83 per share consideration
less the exercise price of such option or warrant in complete satisfaction of the option or warrant. ATD continued as the surviving corporation with Holdings as its sole stockholder.



In connection with the Merger, the following transactions occurred:



| |  |  | Investcorp S.A. (Investcorp) and certain co-investors and co-sponsors contributed $210.0 million through the purchase of Holdings common stock and certain members of
management contributed $8.0 million to the equity of Holdings. In addition, Holdings issued $20.0 million of 8% cumulative mandatorily redeemable preferred stock and warrants to acquire up to 21,895 shares of Holdings common stock;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Holdings issued $4.0 million of Series B preferred stock in exchange for ATDs existing Series B preferred stock, which was subsequently canceled;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | ATD amended and restated its credit facility, which now consists of a $300.0 million revolving credit facility pursuant to which there was $155.5 million of outstanding loans on the
closing date;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | ATD redeemed $4.8 million of its Series A preferred stock (representing all the outstanding Series A preferred stock). Holders of its Series C and D preferred stock received merger
consideration, including accrued dividends, on a common stock equivalent basis of $81.1 million and $191.1 million, respectively;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Holdings issued $51.5 million in aggregate principal amount at maturity of senior discount notes (Senior Discount Notes), which notes were offered at a substantial
discount from their principal amount at maturity and generated gross proceeds of approximately $40.0 million. The Senior Discount Notes mature on October 1, 2013;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | ATD issued $150.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes (Senior Notes), which mature on April 1, 2013;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | ATD sent irrevocable notice of redemption to redeem the $28.6 million outstanding principal amount of its Series D 10% senior notes due 2008 on May 15, 2005 at a price equal to
$29.1 million, reflecting the contractual prepayment penalty of approximately $0.5 million that was paid upon redemption, plus accrued interest through the redemption date; these notes were discharged at closing;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Fees of $35.3 million were paid in connection with the amended and restated credit facility and the issuance of the senior notes and 8% cumulative mandatorily redeemable preferred
stock. These fees are recorded as assets in the Successors balance sheet and are being amortized over the life of the respective debt;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Management advisory fees of $8.0 million were paid to one or more of Investcorp and its co-sponsors (or their respective affiliates) at closing for services to be rendered over a
period of five years following the date of Acquisition. This payment was deferred and is being amortized pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement and on a basis consistent with the service provided;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Seller transaction fees of $8.7 million were paid, $8.6 million of which had been accrued by the Predecessor; and

| |  |  | Transaction bonuses and other related change in control payments of $14.4 million were paid, all of which had been accrued by the Predecessor.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The proceeds from the equity contributions, the notes issued, and the
borrowings under the amended and restated credit facility were used to effect the Merger, to repay certain of ATDs existing debt and to pay related fees and expenses and other amounts payable under the Merger Agreement.



The Acquisition was recorded using the purchase method of accounting. The
purchase price has been allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair market value of such assets and liabilities at the date of Acquisition. This allocation is preliminary and includes a number of estimates,
which, upon further evaluation, may require modification. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price is as follows (in thousands):

|(a) | Represents compensation expense recorded due to the acceleration of certain management stock option vesting schedules (see Note 6).
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



4. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets:



The Acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, in accordance with the
provisions of SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. Accordingly, the purchase price of the acquisition has been allocated to the Companys assets and liabilities based upon their estimated fair values at the acquisition date.
These estimates are preliminary and are based upon information that was available to management at the time these financial statements were prepared. The purchase price allocations may change based on the Companys final valuations. The Company
fully expects to complete these valuations and the final allocation of the purchase price by the fourth quarter of 2005. During second quarter 2005, the Company recorded an adjustment to goodwill of $0.4 million. This increase was due to $1.6
million of transaction costs that were originally classified as debt issuance costs, partially offset by a reduction of $1.2 million to the fair market value of the Series B preferred stock. During third quarter 2005, the Company recorded an
additional $0.3 million adjustment to goodwill that was primarily related to lease reserve adjustments and income tax accruals. The Company also recorded $1.2 million of goodwill in connection with the purchase of Wholesale Tire. As of
October 1, 2005, the Company has recorded goodwill of $357.4 million, of which approximately $35.2 million is deductible for income tax purposes.



The Company will perform an initial annual impairment test for the goodwill recorded in connection with the Acquisition in fourth quarter 2005.



Other intangible assets, which represent customer lists,
trademarks and noncompete agreements, are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life as shown in the tables below. The following tables set forth the gross amount and accumulated amortization of the Companys
intangible assets at October 1, 2005 and January 1, 2005 (in thousands):

2009.



5. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:



In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4. The amendments made by SFAS No. 151 require that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and
wasted materials (spoilage) be recognized as current-period charges and require the allocation of fixed production overheads to inventory based on the normal capacity of production facilities. SFAS No. 151 is effective for inventory costs
incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company does not expect the adoption SFAS No. 151 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.



In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004),
Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123R). For non-public companies, as defined, the provisions of SFAS No. 123R are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2005. The new statement requires
compensation expense associated with share-based payments to employees to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. The Company is currently accounting for stock option grants in accordance with Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB No. 25) and its related interpretations. Upon the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company will be required to apply the provisions of the statement
prospectively for any newly issued, modified or settled award after the date of initial adoption. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact the requirements of this statement will have on its consolidated financial statements.



In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154,
Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (SFAS 154) which replaces Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 20 Accounting Changes and SFAS No. 3 Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim
Financial StatementsAn Amendment of APB Opinion No. 28. SFAS 154 provides guidance on the accounting for, and reporting of, accounting changes and error corrections. It establishes retrospective application, or the latest
practicable date, as the required method for reporting a change in accounting principle and the reporting of a correction of an error. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2005. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 154 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.



6. Stock Options:



As permitted by SFAS No. 123, Accounting For Stock-Based Compensation, the Company accounts for stock option grants in accordance with
APB No. 25 and its related interpretations. Pursuant to APB No. 25, compensation expense is recognized for financial reporting purposes using the intrinsic value method. The amount of compensation expense to be recognized is determined by
the excess of the fair value of common stock over the exercise price of the related option at the measurement date. In anticipation of the Merger, vesting of

certain stock options was accelerated during the first quarter of 2005. Accordingly, the Company recorded approximately $8.6 million in compensation expense
during first quarter 2005 for the excess of the fair value of the common stock over the exercise price of the related option. The $8.6 million of compensation expense is included in transaction expenses in the accompanying Predecessor condensed
consolidated statement of operations. The accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations do not include any additional compensation expense for 2005 or any compensation expense for 2004 as the exercise price of all stock options
represented the estimated fair value of the underlying common stock at the date of grant.



In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of SFAS No. 123. This statement provides alternative methods of
transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this statement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require more prominent disclosures in both
annual and interim financial statements regarding the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. At this time, the Company has not voluntarily adopted the fair value method of
accounting under SFAS No. 123, but is required to provide certain pro forma disclosures, which are presented below.



The following information is presented as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options under the fair value method prescribed by SFAS
No. 123 (in thousands):

The Predecessor
granted options for 268,226 shares in first quarter 2004 and 50,000 shares in third quarter 2004 with an exercise price of $4.25. The weighted average fair value of options granted during the first and third quarter 2004, estimated on the date of
grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, was $1.40 and $1.54, respectively. The fair value of options granted in the first and third quarter 2004 was determined using the following assumptions: a weighted average risk-free interest rate
of 3.98% and 4.48%, respectively, no dividend yield, expected life of 10 years which equals the terms of the options, and no expected volatility. There were no options granted in second quarter 2004.



On March 31, 2005, as a result of the Acquisition, all ATD stock options
that were already vested (excluding certain management options that were exchanged for Holdings options in connection with the Acquisitionsee below) were converted into the right to receive the excess of $18.83 per share over the
exercise price of each of the options. As a consequence, subsequent to March 31, 2005, the date of the completion of the Acquisition, all options to purchase previously existing ATD common stock ceased to exist and ATDs existing stock
option plans were terminated.



In connection with the
Acquisition, the Company adopted the 2005 Management Stock Incentive Plan (the 2005 Plan) in order to attract, retain and motivate directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries. The 2005 Plan
authorizes the issuance of up to 190,857 shares of voting common

stock under terms and conditions to be set by the Companys Board of Directors. All incentive stock options shall expire no later than 10 years from the
date of grant and all non-qualified options shall expire no later than 10 years and 30 calendar days from the date of grant. Shares issued upon exercise of options are subject to the terms and conditions of a stockholders agreement to be
entered into by each recipient.



In connection with the Merger,
on March 31, 2005 the Company granted, in exchange for the assignment and transfer to the Company of 372,888 options to purchase ATD common stock under the previously existing ATD stock option plan, non-qualified options (the Rollover
Options) to purchase 33,199 shares of Series A Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Company. The fair market value of the options granted of $6.5 million is recorded in stockholders equity in the accompanying condensed
consolidated statement of stockholders equity. All Rollover Options granted under the 2005 Plan are fully vested.



During second quarter 2005, the Company granted options to purchase 143,505 shares of Series A Common Stock with an exercise price of $211.50. The options
shall expire no later than 7 years and 30 calendar days from the date of grant. These options vest based on the Company meeting specified performance goals or the occurrence of certain events. None of the options granted in second quarter 2005 are
vested as of October 1, 2005. The fair value of options granted during second quarter 2005, estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, was $50.47. The fair value of options granted in second quarter 2005 was
determined using the following assumptions: a risk-free interest rate of 3.85%, no dividend yield, expected life of 7 years and 30 calendar days, which equals the terms of the options, and no expected volatility. There were no options granted in
third quarter 2005.



7. 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. For the Successor, such expenses totaled $19.0 million for the quarter ended October 1, 2005 and $37.2 million for
the six months ended October 1, 2005. For the Predecessor, such expenses totaled $17.9 million and $16.3 million for the quarters ended April 2, 2005 and October 2, 2004, respectively and $47.9 million for the nine months ended
October 2, 2004. Certain shipping and handling costs are classified in cost of goods sold. Shipping revenue is classified in net sales in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 00-10, Accounting for
Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs.



8. 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 market. 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. Terms with a majority of the Companys tire vendors allow return of tire products, within limitations, specified in their supply
agreements. All of the Companys inventories are held as collateral under the revolving credit facility (Revolver).



As part of the preliminary purchase price allocation, the carrying value of inventory was increased by $4.7 million to adjust to estimated fair value. The
effect of this adjustment increased cost of goods sold and thereby reduced gross profit and gross margins in second quarter 2005 as that inventory was sold. In connection with the Acquisition, the Successor has applied a policy whereby costs
associated with the initial physical handling of purchased tire inventory to get the inventory ready for sale in the distribution centers are capitalized into inventory. These inventory costs are being accounted for consistently by the Successor and
are not expected to have a material effect on the Companys financial position or results of operations in the future. Inventory as of October 1, 2005 includes approximately $1.7 million of such capitalized inventory costs.

9. Income Taxes:



As part of the Merger, the Company generated substantial tax deductions relating to the exercise of stock options and payments made for transaction
bonuses. The Successors condensed consolidated balance sheet as of October 1, 2005 reflects a current deferred tax asset of $20.7 million, of which $10.1 million represents the anticipated tax benefits the Company expects to achieve in
2005 and 2006 from such tax deductions and an income tax receivable of $17.5 million relating to deductions that can be carried back two years for federal income tax purposes. Management has evaluated the Companys deferred tax assets and has
concluded that the realizability of the deferred tax asset is more likely than not. Therefore, the Company has not established a valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset. This evaluation considered the historical and long-term expected
profitability of the Company. The Companys ability to generate future taxable income is dependent on numerous factors, including general economic conditions, the state of the replacement tire market, and other factors beyond managements
control. Therefore, there can be no assurance that the Company will meet its expectation of future taxable income. Changes in expected future taxable income could lead to the Company recording a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets.



As part of the preliminary purchase price allocation, the
Successors condensed consolidated balance sheet as of October 1, 2005 includes a net non-current deferred tax liability of $78.6 million. The net deferred tax liability primarily relates to the expected future tax liability associated
with the non-deductible, identified, intangible assets that were recorded during the preliminary purchase price allocation less existing tax deductible intangibles, assuming an effective tax rate of 40%.



10. Long-term Debt and Other Financing Arrangements:



The following table presents the long-term debt for the Successor at

Revolving Credit
Facility



In connection with the Merger, ATD entered
into the Fourth Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the Revolver) on March 31, 2005. The Borrowers to the Revolver are ATD and its subsidiaries. The Revolver provides for a five-year senior secured revolving credit
facility of up to $300.0 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. The Revolver is secured primarily by ATDs inventories and accounts
receivable. As of October 1, 2005, the outstanding Revolver balance was $182.1 million and $79.6 million was available for additional borrowings.



Borrowings under the Revolver bear interest, at ATDs option, at either (i) the Base Rate, as defined, or (ii) the Eurodollar Rate, as
defined, plus the applicable margin (1.50% as of October 1, 2005). Beginning six months after closing, the applicable margin for the loans will vary based upon a performance based grid, as defined in the agreement.

##### Table of Contents

All obligations under the 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 Revolver are secured 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
Revolver contains covenants which, among other things, require ATD to meet a fixed charge coverage ratio if ATD does not have at least $25.0 million available to be drawn under the revolving credit facility (subject to a cure); restricts ATDs
ability to incur additional debt; enter into guaranties; make loans and investments; declare dividends; modify certain material agreements or constitutive documents relating to preferred stock; and change the business it conducts, as well as other
customary covenants. The Revolver expires March 31, 2010.



Series D Senior Notes



On
March 31, 2005, ATD sent an irrevocable notice of redemption to redeem the $28.6 million outstanding principal amount of its Series D 10% Senior Notes due 2008 on May 15, 2005 at a price equal to $29.1 million, reflecting the contractual
prepayment penalty of $0.5 million upon redemption, plus accrued interest through the redemption date. In connection with the Merger and on the date thereof, the Company irrevocably deposited with Wachovia Bank, N.A., the trustee under the related
indenture, funds sufficient to pay the redemption price on the redemption date plus accrued interest. On May 15, 2005, the Company redeemed the Series D Senior Notes and accordingly, the restricted cash balance was eliminated. Pursuant to the
terms of the indenture, the indenture (subject to certain exceptions specified therein) has ceased to be of any further effect and the trustee has acknowledged satisfaction and discharge of the indenture.



Senior Discount Notes



In connection with the Merger, 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 will accrue on the Senior Discount Notes. Instead, the accreted value of the Senior Discount Notes will accrete at a rate of 13% compounded semi-annually to an aggregate accreted value of $51.5
million, the full principal amount at maturity, on April 1, 2007. Thereafter, interest on the Senior Discount Notes will accrue at a rate of 13% per annum and will be payable, in cash, semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and
October 1 of each year, commencing on October 1, 2007. Interest on the Senior Discount Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from April 1, 2007.



The Senior Discount Notes will not be redeemable, except as described below,
at the option of Holdings prior to April 1, 2007. Thereafter, the Senior Discount Notes will be 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 (if after April 1, 2007). In addition, at any time and from time to time, prior to April 1, 2007, Holdings may redeem up to 35% of the original aggregate principal amount at maturity of
the Senior Discount Notes at a redemption price of 113.0% of the accreted value thereof, plus accrued and unpaid additional interest thereon, if any, to the redemption date (subject to the right of holders on the relevant record date to receive

Derivative
Instruments



During the second quarter 2003, ATD
entered into an interest rate swap agreement (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 1, 2005, the Swap in place covers a
notional amount of $50.0 million of indebtedness at a fixed interest rate of 2.14% and expires in June 2006. This Swap has not been designated for hedge accounting treatment. Accordingly, ATD 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 interest expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The fair



18

##### Table of Contents

value of the Swap is the estimated amount that ATD would pay or receive to terminate the agreement at the reporting date. The fair value of the Swap was an
asset of $0.8 million at October 1, 2005 and January 1, 2005, and is included in other assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. As a result of the change in fair value, the Successor recorded an increase in
interest expense of $0.1 million for the quarter ended October 1, 2005 and $0.2 million for the six months ended October 1, 2005. The Predecessor recorded a reduction in interest expense of $0.2 million and an increase in interest expense
of $0.1 million for the quarters ended April 2, 2005 and October 2, 2004, respectively, and a reduction in interest expense of $0.3 million for the nine months ended October 2, 2004. On October 6, 2005, ATD terminated this
interest rate swap agreement and received proceeds of $0.8 million (See Note 16 for further information).



On October 11, 2005 and in connection with the termination of the Swap discussed above, ATD entered into an interest rate swap agreement (New
Swap) with Bank of America, N.A. to manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates (See Note 16 for further information).

In January 2005, the
Predecessor redeemed 700 shares of the Series A preferred stock for $0.7 million. In connection with the Merger and on the date thereof, the Company redeemed the remaining 4,800 shares of Series A preferred stock for $4.8 million.



In connection with the Merger and on the date thereof, Holdings issued $4.0
million of Series B preferred stock in exchange for the Predecessors existing Series B preferred stock, which was subsequently canceled. The stated value of the Successors Series B preferred stock is initially $1,000 per share, to be
adjusted based on tire purchase credits as determined by the number of units purchased under a purchase agreement with a supplier entered into in May 1997. If the Company does not meet certain tire purchase requirements, holders of Series B
preferred stock are entitled to receive dividend payments, when and if declared by the Board of Directors, at the prime rate. The remaining value of Series B preferred stock shall be redeemed by the Company on the last business day of June 2007 at a
price equal to the adjusted stated value plus all accrued and unpaid dividends. The Series B preferred stock is classified as a liability in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. To date, the Company has met the purchase
requirements, thus no dividends have been declared and paid. As of October 1, 2005, the stated value of the Series B preferred stock, as determined by the holder of the preferred stock, was $2.2 million. The Company recorded $1.2 million of the
reduction to goodwill, as part of the continuing evaluation of the purchase price allocation.

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 will be recorded as interest expense prospectively. 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 liability in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. In addition, Holdings issued warrants to The 1818 Fund
in exchange for $4.6 million in cash less related transaction costs of $0.1 million. The warrants permit the holders to acquire up to 21,895 shares of Holdings Class A common stock at $.01 per share. The warrants expire on September 30,
2015. The Company has recorded these warrants at fair value and has presented them as a component of stockholders equity. Joseph P. Donlan, a member of the Companys Board of Directors, is a Managing Director of Brown Brothers
Harriman & Co., The 1818 Funds general partner.

In connection with the Acquisition, Holdings issued 20,000 shares of 8% cumulative mandatorily redeemable preferred stock and warrants to acquire up to 21,895 shares of Holdings Class A common stock at $.01 per share (see Note 11 for
further information). Joseph P. Donlan, a member of the Companys Board of Directors, is a Managing Director of Brown Brothers Harriman & Co., The 1818 Funds general partner.



Deferred Financing Fees



Advisory fees of $13.9 million were paid to Investcorp and its co-sponsors,
Berkshire Partners and Greenbriar Equity Group, in connection with the amended and restated credit facility and the issuance of the senior notes and 8% cumulative mandatorily redeemable preferred stock. These fees are recorded as assets in the
Successor balance sheet and are being amortized over the life of the respective debt.



Management Advisory Fees



Management advisory fees of $8.0 million were paid to one or more of Investcorp and its co-sponsors (or their respective affiliates) at closing for services to be rendered over a period of five years following the date of Acquisition. This
payment was deferred and is being amortized pursuant to the terms of the agreement and on a basis consistent with the service provided. Accordingly, the Company recorded amortization expense of $1.5 million during third quarter 2005 and $3.0 million
during the six months ended October 1, 2005.



15. Commitments and
Contingencies:



Guaranteed Lease Obligations



The Company remains liable as a guarantor on certain
leases of Winston Tire Company (Winston), its discontinued retail segment. As of October 1, 2005, total obligations of the Company as guarantor on these leases is approximately $10.4 million extending over 14 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 $9.9 million. A provision has been made for the net present value of the estimated
shortfall.



Legal Proceedings



The Company is involved from time to time in various lawsuits, including
class action lawsuits arising out of the ordinary conduct of its business. Although no assurances can be given, management does not expect that any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Companys business or financial
condition. The Company is also involved in various proceedings incidental to the ordinary course of its business. The Company believes, based on consultation with legal counsel, that none of these will have a material adverse effect on its financial
condition or results of operations.



16. Subsequent Event:



Exchange Offer



On October 4, 2005, Holdings commenced an exchange offer for its
privately placed outstanding 13% Senior Discount Notes due 2013 for newly registered 13% Senior Discount Notes due 2013 and ATD commenced an exchange offer for its privately placed outstanding Senior Floating Rate Notes due 2012 and

10.75% Senior Notes due 2013 for newly registered Senior Floating Rate Notes due 2012 and 10.75% Senior Notes due 2013, respectively. These exchange offers,
which are required by the registration rights agreements for the outstanding privately placed notes, are being made pursuant to a prospectus dated October 4, 2005.



The terms of the new notes will be substantially identical to the terms of the outstanding notes, except that certain
transfer restrictions and registration rights provisions relating to the outstanding notes do not apply to the new notes, which will be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The exchange offer expired at 5:00 p.m. EST on
November 2, 2005. Holdings accepted for exchange $51.5 million aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Senior Discount Notes, representing 100% of the total outstanding Senior Discount Notes. ATD accepted for exchange $43.6 million
aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Senior Floating Rate Notes and $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding Senior Notes, representing approximately 31% and 100% of the total outstanding Senior Floating Rate Notes and
outstanding Senior Notes, respectively.



Derivative
Instruments



On October 11, 2005, ATD entered
into an interest rate swap agreement (New Swap) with Bank of America, N.A. to manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. The New 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 New Swap is used to measure interest to be paid or received and does not represent the amount of exposure to credit loss. The New Swap in place
covers a notional amount of $85.0 million of indebtedness at a fixed interest rate of 4.79% and expires on September 30, 2010. The New Swap has been designated for hedge accounting treatment.



On October 6, 2005 and in connection with the New Swap discussed above,
ATD terminated an interest rate swap contract, which had been entered into with Bank of America, N.A. on June 6, 2003, receiving proceeds of $0.8 million (See Note 10 for further information).

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 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 Amended Registration Statement on Form S-4 and our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in Part I of this
report on Form 10-Q.



On August 23, 2005, ATD completed
the purchase of all the outstanding stock of Wholesale Tire Distributors, Inc., Wholesale Tire Distributors of Wyoming, Inc., and Wholesale Tire Distributors of Idaho, Inc. (collectively Wholesale Tire) pursuant to the terms of that
certain Stock Purchase Agreement dated August 5, 2005. The acquisition was financed by ATDs revolving credit facility and has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, results of operations for the acquired
business have been included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations from the date of acquisition.



On March 31, 2005, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement), dated as of February 4, 2005 and amended and
restated on March 7, 2005, among American Tire Distributors Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Holdings), ATD MergerSub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (MergerSub), Charlesbank Equity Fund IV, L.P., a Massachusetts
limited partnership, Charlesbank Capital Partners, LLC, a Massachusetts limited liability company and ATD; MergerSub merged with and into ATD with ATD being the surviving corporation (also referred to herein as the Merger or the
Acquisition). As a result of the Acquisition, ATD became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings. Holdings has no significant assets or operations other than its ownership of ATD. The operations of ATD and its subsidiaries constitute the
operations of Holdings presented under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (See Note 3 in Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this report for further information).



Our acquisition of ATD was accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting. Under the purchase method of accounting, the purchase price was allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values, with the remainder being allocated to
goodwill. The increase in the basis of these assets will result in increased amortization charges in future periods. Intangible asset amortization expense for the remainder of 2005 is expected to be approximately $4.1 million. Based on preliminary
estimates, which are subject to revision, we increased the carrying value of inventory by $4.7 million. The effect of this adjustment increased cost of goods sold and thereby reduced gross profit and gross margins in second quarter 2005 as that
inventory was sold. We also recorded significant transaction-related expenses during the quarter when the Acquisition closed, including $20.0 million of compensation expense relating to payment of various bonuses and the acceleration of certain
management stock option vesting schedules, as well as $8.2 million of seller transaction costs and other acquisition related expenses. In addition, our interest expense will increase significantly as a result of the Acquisition due to the issuance
of the Senior Discount Notes, the Senior Notes, and the Senior Floating Rate Notes, which is expected to increase interest expense for 2005 by approximately $26.3 million based on current interest rates. As part of the Acquisition, we generated
substantial tax deductions relating to the exercise of stock options and payments made for transaction bonuses. Our balance sheet reflects a current deferred tax asset of $20.7 million, of which $10.1 million reflects the anticipated tax benefits we
expect to achieve in 2005 and 2006 from such tax deductions and an income tax receivable of $17.5 million relating to deductions that can be carried back two years for federal income tax purposes. We expect to receive the income tax receivable in
first quarter 2006.



Periods prior to April 2, 2005
reflect the financial position, results of operations, and changes in financial position of ATD and its subsidiaries (the Predecessor) and periods after April 2, 2005 reflect the financial position, results of operations, and
changes in financial position of Holdings and its subsidiaries (the Successor). For accounting purposes, the effects of purchase accounting were applied on April 2, 2005. The activity of the Company for the period March 31,
2005 through April 2, 2005 is included in the Predecessors condensed consolidated statement of operations. Cash flow activity for the three day period from March 31, 2005

##### Table of Contents

through April 2, 2005 is included in the Predecessors condensed consolidated statement of cash flows except for cash flow activity related to the
Merger which is shown in the Successors condensed consolidated statement of cash flows on April 2, 2005. The Company believes that the results of operations and cash flows, other than those related to the Merger, are immaterial for the
three day period from March 31, 2005 through April 2, 2005.



During third quarter 2004, ATD completed the purchase of all the outstanding stock of Texas Market Tire Holdings I, Inc., d/b/a Big State Tire Supply (Big State) and Target Tire, Inc. (Target Tire). These
acquisitions have been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, results of operations for the acquired businesses have been included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations from the date of
acquisition.



Our fiscal year is based on either a 52 or
53-week period ending on the Saturday closest to each December 31. Therefore, the financial results of certain fiscal years, and the associated 14-week quarters, will not be exactly comparable to the prior and subsequent 52-week fiscal years
and the associated quarters having only 13 weeks. The quarters ended October 1, 2005, April 2, 2005, and October 2, 2004 contain operating results for 13 weeks. The six months ended October 1, 2005 contain operating results
for 26 weeks and the nine months ended October 2, 2004 contain operating results for 40 weeks.



Overview



We are the
leading distributor of tires to the U.S. replacement tire market, a $24.3 billion industry in 2004. Despite a recent economic slowdown, the U.S. replacement market is stable and has been growing at approximately 2% to 3% annually over the past ten
years. Growth has historically been 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.



The industry has recently
experienced growth from an increase in high and ultra-high performance and larger rim diameter tires, proliferation of larger vehicles, such as SUVs, and shorter tire replacement cycles. Our high and ultra-high performance tires are our highest
profit products and also have relatively shorter replacement cycles. High and ultra-high performance tires have shown significant sales growth as compared to the overall market. According to Modern Tire Dealer magazine, industry wide, the number of
units sold in this subcategory increased by 18.3% from 2003 to 2004. While the recent trend in higher gas prices, due to increased oil prices as well as storm related disruptions to gasoline production, has impacted new car sales, we expect the
sales growth in high and ultra-high performance and larger rim diameter tires to continue, driven by car replacement cycles that are currently in excess of seven years. We expect the trend of selling more high and ultra-high performance tires as
well as larger rim diameter tires to be an ongoing area of strategic focus for us, and the industry as a whole. Due to our breadth and depth of product offering, we believe that we are well positioned to handle this new demand.



Our revenues are primarily generated from sales of passenger car and light
truck tires, which represent approximately 73.6% of our total net sales for the quarter ended October 1, 2005. The remainder of net sales is derived from other tire sales (14.2%), custom wheels (6.6%), automotive service equipment (3.4%), and
other products (2.1%). We sell our products to a variety of customers and geographic markets.



We have continued to expand and geographically diversify our operations in the recent years by executing a strategy that includes both organic growth and growth through acquisitions. During fiscal 2005, we acquired
Wholesale Tire, representing approximately $18 million in annual net sales, which expanded our operations into Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming as well as parts of Nevada, Colorado, Nebraska and South Dakota. During fiscal 2004, we successfully acquired and
integrated two businesses representing approximately $160 million in annual net sales. The acquisition of Big State expanded our operations into Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma, while the acquisition of Target Tire strengthened our presence with
retailers in the Southeast, a region where we already have a strong market presence. 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 margins.

We are currently in the process of further enhancing our pricing discipline and expense control through a
strategic segmentation of our customer base. This initiative is expected to provide incentives for smaller customers to provide us with a larger share of their business.

Net Sales



The increase in net sales in third quarter 2005 is
primarily attributable to an increase in unit sales of passenger, light truck and medium truck tires of $26.6 million, which includes the impact of the Target Tire acquisition and sales from the operations of Big State. The operations acquired from
Big State accounted for $12.6 million of the increase. We cannot determine the precise effect on sales of the Target Tire acquisition due to the integration of all but one of their distribution centers into our existing facilities. Improved product
mix, as well as manufacturer price increases that were part of an overall industry increase are also contributing to our increase in sales. The operations acquired from Wholesale Tire attributed $2.2 million to third quarter 2005 sales.



Gross Profit



The increase in gross profit in third quarter 2005 is primarily due to
increased sales resulting from higher volume, the acquisitions of Big State and Target Tire in third quarter 2004 and from higher average per unit selling prices. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of sales of 0.5% is primarily due to
various sales promotions that were offered during the quarter. These promotions have helped to drive unit sales but have been dilutive to our gross margin percentages. The acquisition of Wholesale Tire did not have a material impact on gross profit.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses



The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is due, in
part, to the inclusion of acquired operations described above. The acquisition of Big State accounted for approximately $2.0 million of the $12.2 million increase. Amortization expense increased $3.9 million as a result of customer list and
tradename intangible assets that were recorded in connection with the Acquisition. Employee related expenses increased $1.9 million primarily due to costs associated with an increase in the employee headcount that was due in part to the Target Tire
acquisition. Other operating expenses increased $1.5 million due to the amortization of prepaid management advisory fees that were paid in connection with the Acquisition. Rising fuel costs are also continuing to have a negative impact on our
delivery costs.



Interest Expense



The increase in interest expense is due primarily to increased debt levels
associated with the issuance of the Senior Discount Notes, the Senior Notes, and the Senior Floating Rate Notes issued in connection with the Acquisition, which together accounted for approximately $8.8 million of the increase.



Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes



We recognized an income tax benefit of $0.5 million in third quarter 2005
due primarily to the increase in interest expense discussed above, which generated a pre-tax loss of $1.3 million. During third quarter 2004, we recognized an income tax provision of $4.9 million. The effective tax rate in each quarter was
approximately 40%.



Net Income (loss)



The decrease in net income is due primarily to the increase in interest and
selling, general and administrative expense, partially offset by an increase in the income tax benefit.



Six Months Ended October 1, 2005 for the Successor and Three Months Ended April 2, 2005 for the Predecessor Compared to the Nine Months Ended October 2, 2004 for the Predecessor



As a result of the Acquisition and related change in
control, we are required to present separately our operating results for the Successor six-month period ended October 1, 2005 and the Predecessor quarter ended April 2, 2005. In the following discussion, the combined results of operations
for the Predecessor quarter ended April 2, 2005 and Successor six-month period ended October 1, 2005 are compared to the nine-month Predecessor period ended October 2, 2004. Management believes this is the most practical way to
comment on the results of operations.

Net Sales



Total net sales for the aggregate nine-month period of
2005 increased $197.6 million to $1,143.3 million from $945.7 million in the nine-month period of 2004. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in unit sales of passenger, light truck and medium truck tires of $120.8 million, which
includes the impact of the Target Tire acquisition, and sales from the operations of Big State. The operations acquired from Big State accounted for an increase of $48.6 million in net sales. We cannot determine the precise effect on sales of the
Target Tire acquisition due to the integration of all but one of their distribution centers into our existing facilities. Higher average per unit selling prices, that are a result of manufacturer price increases that were part of an overall industry
increase, have also contributed to the increase in sales. The inclusion of an additional week of sales in first quarter 2004 of approximately $19.0 million offsets the increases noted above.



Gross Profit



Gross profit increased $23.3 million to $195.7 million for the aggregate
nine-month period of 2005 from $172.4 million for the nine-month period of 2004. This increase is primarily due to increased sales resulting from higher unit sales volume, the acquisitions of Big State and Target Tire and from higher average per
unit selling prices. The increase in gross profit was partially offset by an increase in cost of goods sold due to the amortization of $4.7 million of inventory adjustment that was recorded in connection with the Acquisition (see Note 8 in Notes to
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this report for further information).



Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased 1.1 percentage points from 18.2% in the nine-month period of 2004 to 17.1% in the aggregate nine-month
period of 2005. The decrease is primarily due to the inventory adjustment amortization discussed above. In addition, various sales promotions that were offered during 2005 have helped to drive unit sales but have been dilutive to our gross margin
percentages.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses



Total selling, general and administrative expenses for the aggregate
nine-month period of 2005 increased $34.3 million to $164.6 million from $130.3 million in the nine-month period of 2004. The increase is due, in part, to the inclusion of acquired operations. We cannot determine the precise effect on selling,
general and administrative expenses for the Target Tire acquisition due to the integration of all but one of their distribution centers into our existing facilities. The acquisition of Big State accounted for approximately $8.4 million of the $34.3
million increase. Employee related expenses increased $7.8 million primarily due to incentive based compensation associated with an increase in sales and profits and increased costs associated with an increase in the employee headcount that is a
result of the Target Tire acquisition. Amortization expense increased $8.1 million as a result of customer list and tradename intangible assets that were recorded in connection with the Acquisition. Other operating expenses increased $3.0 million
due to the amortization of prepaid management advisory fees that were paid in connection with the Acquisition. Rising fuel costs are also continuing to have a negative impact on our delivery costs. The inclusion of an additional week in first
quarter 2004 partially offsets the increases noted above.



Transaction Expenses



In connection with the
Merger, the Predecessor incurred $28.3 million of transaction expenses in the aggregate nine-month period of 2005 that related to change in control and bonus payments, stock option fair market value adjustments for accelerated vesting, and payment
of ATDs direct acquisition costs. These direct acquisition costs include investment banking, legal, accounting, and other fees for professional services in connection with the Merger that cannot be included in purchase accounting.



Interest Expense



Total interest expense for the aggregate nine-month period of 2005 increased
$21.1 million to $30.5 million from $9.4 million in the nine-month period of 2004. The increase in interest expense is due primarily to increased debt levels associated with the issuance of the Senior Discount Notes, the Senior Notes, and the Senior
Floating Rate Notes issued in connection with the Acquisition, which accounted for approximately $17.4 million of the increase. In addition, the Successor recorded additional interest expense relating to the change in fair value of the interest rate
swap agreement of $0.2 million in the six-month period ended October 1, 2005 and the Predecessor recorded a net reduction in interest expense of $0.2 million in first quarter 2005 as compared to a net reduction of $0.3 million in interest
expense recorded by the Predecessor in the nine-month period of 2004.



Interest expense for the aggregate nine-month period of 2005 of $30.5 million exceeds cash payments for interest during the same period of $13.0 million principally due to non-cash amortization of debt issuance costs and accretion of
interest on the Senior Discount Notes as well as interest accrued but not yet paid.



Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes



The Successor recognized an income tax benefit of $2.8 million in the six-month period ended October 1, 2005 based on a pre-tax loss of $7.1 million. The Predecessor recognized an income tax benefit of $6.6
million in first quarter 2005 due primarily to the transaction expenses incurred in connection with the Merger, which generated a pre-tax loss of $20.9 million. During the nine-month period of 2004, the Predecessor recognized an income tax provision
of $12.9 million. The effective tax rate for the six-month period ended October 1, 2005 was approximately 40% for the Successor, approximately 32% for first quarter 2005 for the Predecessor, and approximately 40% for the nine-month period of
2004 for the Predecessor.



Net Income (loss)



Total aggregate net income for the nine-month period of 2005 decreased
$37.9 million to $(18.6) million from $19.3 million in the nine-month period of 2004. The decrease in net income is due primarily to transaction expenses and higher interest expenses incurred in connection with the Merger as well as a less favorable
profit margin due in part to the adjustment in basis of our inventory. In addition, first quarter 2004 included an additional week of business activity. The decrease in net income was partially offset by an increase in the income tax benefit.

Critical Accounting Policies



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. For more information please see the discussion of critical accounting policies and estimates in our Amended Registration
Statement on Form S-4 filed on September 16, 2005. During the quarter and aggregate nine months ended October 1, 2005, there was no change in our critical accounting policies.



Liquidity and Capital Resources



At October 1, 2005, our combined net indebtedness (net of cash) was $530.1 million compared to $230.6 million at
January 1, 2005, an increase of $299.5 million. The increase is due primarily to the issuance of the Senior Discount Notes, the Senior Notes, and the Senior Floating Rate Notes issued in connection with the Acquisition (see Note 10 in the Notes
to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Item 1 of this report). Total commitments by the lenders under our revolving credit facility (Revolver) were $300.0 million at October 1, 2005, of which $182.1
million was outstanding and $79.6 million was available for additional borrowings. The amount available to borrow is limited by the Borrowing Base computation, as defined in the Revolver agreement.



The following table summarizes the cash flows for the period from
April 2, 2005 through October 1, 2005 for the Successor and for the quarter ended April 2, 2005 and nine months ended October 2, 2004 for the Predecessor (in thousands):

Operating
Activities



Total net cash used in operating
activities for the aggregate nine-month period of 2005 increased $46.8 million to $(34.1) million compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $12.7 million in the nine-month period of 2004. The increase in cash used in operating
activities was primarily due to cash payments of $31.7 million made in connection with the Acquisition (see Note 3 in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details), as well as a decrease in our profitability and
an increase in our net working capital requirements as a result of increased business activity and the acquisition of Big State and Target Tire in third quarter 2004 and Wholesale Tire in third quarter 2005. Net working capital for the Successor at
October 1, 2005, totaled $201.3 million compared to $133.7 million for the Predecessor at January 1, 2005, an increase of $67.6 million. This increase primarily relates to the income tax receivable, prepaid management advisory fees and
deferred financing costs recorded in connection with the Acquisition (see Notes 3 and 9 in Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this report for further information) as well as an increase in inventory. The
increase in inventory is primarily in response to announced future and expected price increases by the tire manufacturers as well as to protect our supply position from potential supply shortages of raw materials announced by tire manufacturers in
the wake of recent storm activity. The acquisition of Wholesale Tire resulted in $3.9 million of additional inventory.

Investing Activities



Total net cash used in investing activities increased $386.1 million to $447.9 million in the aggregate nine-month period of
2005 compared to $61.8 million in the corresponding nine-month period of 2004. The increase in cash used in investing activities was due primarily to cash paid for the Acquisition in first quarter 2005 (See Note 3 in the Notes to the Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements for further details) and the acquisition of Wholesale Tire in third quarter 2005. Total capital expenditures for the aggregate nine-month period of 2005 increased $2.3 million to $5.1 million compared to $2.8
million in the corresponding nine-month period of 2004. Capital expenditures during the period from April 2, 2005 through October 1, 2005 for the Successor and first quarter 2005 for the Predecessor were primarily for information
technology upgrades, warehouse racking, and leasehold improvements. During the aggregate nine-month period of 2005, we also had total aggregate capital expenditures financed by debt of $4.4 million relating to information technology upgrades
compared to $3.4 million in the corresponding nine-month period of 2004.



Financing Activities



Total net cash provided by financing activities for the aggregate nine-month period of 2005 increased $435.6 million to $485.2 million compared to $49.6 million in the corresponding nine-month period of 2004. The increase in cash provided
by financing activities was primarily due to the cash activity surrounding the Acquisition. See Note 3 in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.



Revolving Credit Facility



In connection with the Merger, ATD entered into the Fourth Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the
Revolver) on March 31, 2005. The Borrowers to the Revolver are ATD and its subsidiaries. The Revolver provides for a five-year senior secured revolving credit facility of up to $300.0 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. The Revolver is secured primarily by ATDs inventories and accounts receivable.



Borrowings under the Revolver bear interest, at ATDs option, at either (i) the Base Rate, as defined, or
(ii) the Eurodollar Rate, as defined, plus the applicable margin (1.50% as of October 1, 2005). Beginning six months after closing, the applicable margin for the loans will vary based upon a performance based grid, as defined in the
agreement.



All obligations under the 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 Revolver are secured 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 Revolver contains covenants which, among other things, require ATD to meet a fixed charge coverage ratio if ATD does not have at least $25.0 million
available to be drawn under the revolving credit facility (subject to a cure); restricts ATDs ability to incur additional debt; enter into guaranties; make loans and investments; declare dividends; modify certain material agreements or
constitutive documents relating to preferred stock; and change the business it conducts, as well as other customary covenants. The Revolver expires March 31, 2010.



During the second quarter 2003, ATD entered into an interest rate swap agreement (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 1, 2005, the Swap in place covers a notional amount of $50.0 million of indebtedness at a fixed interest rate of 2.14% and
expires in June 2006. This Swap has not been designated for hedge accounting treatment. Accordingly, ATD 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 interest expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of the Swap is the estimated amount that ATD would pay or receive to terminate the agreement at the reporting date. The fair value
of the Swap was an asset of $0.8 million at October 1, 2005 and January 1, 2005,

and is included in other assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. As a result of the change in fair value, the Successor recorded an
increase in interest expense of $0.1 million for the quarter ended October 1, 2005 and $0.2 million for the six months ended October 1, 2005. The Predecessor recorded a reduction in interest expense of $0.2 million and an increase in
interest expense of $0.1 million for the quarters ended April 2, 2005 and October 2, 2004, respectively, and a reduction in interest expense of $0.3 million for the nine months ended October 2, 2004. On October 6, 2005, ATD
terminated this interest rate swap agreement and received proceeds of $0.8 million (See Note 16 in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Item 1 of this report).



On October 11, 2005 and in connection with the termination of the Swap
discussed above, ATD entered into an interest rate swap agreement (New Swap) with Bank of America, N.A. to manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates (See Note 16 in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
included under Item 1 of this report). The New 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 New Swap is used to measure interest to be paid or received and does not represent the amount of exposure to credit loss. The New Swap in place covers a notional amount of $85.0 million of indebtedness at a fixed interest rate of 4.79% and
expires on September 30, 2010. The New Swap has been designated for hedge accounting treatment.



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, including recurring expenses. We present Indenture
EBITDA as it is used to determine our, and ATDs, compliance with covenants contained in the related indentures governing our, and ATDs, notes. The covenants are tied to ratios based on Indenture EBITDA, referred to as Consolidated Cash
Flows in the indenture, and restrict our, and ATDs, ability to incur additional indebtedness and to issue preferred stock. Indenture EBITDA as used herein represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and further
adjusted to exclude certain non-recurring 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, and
ATDs, abilities 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 flow as determined in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States. The following table is a reconciliation of net cash provided by (used in) operating activities to Indenture EBITDA:

##### Table of Contents

Total Indenture EBITDA for the aggregate nine-month period of 2005 increased $4.8 million to $52.9
million compared to $48.1 million in the corresponding nine-month period of 2004. The increase in Indenture EBITDA is due primarily to the increase in sales, partially offset by the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses and the
inclusion of an additional week in the first quarter 2004. We estimate the additional week in 2004 reduced Indenture EBITDA by approximately $1.6 million. The acquired operations of Wholesale Tire did not have a material impact on Indenture EBITDA.



We anticipate that our principal use of cash going forward
will be to meet working capital and debt service requirements and to make capital expenditures. Based upon current and anticipated levels of operations, we believe that our cash flow from operations, together with amounts available under our
Revolver, will be adequate to meet our anticipated requirements. There can be no assurance, however, that our business will continue to generate sufficient cash flow from operations in the future to meet these requirements or to service its debt,
and we may be required to refinance all or a portion of our existing debt, or to obtain additional financing. These increased borrowings may result in higher interest payments. In addition, there can be no assurance that any such refinancing would
be possible or that any additional financing could be obtained. The inability to obtain additional financing could have a material adverse effect on us.



Income Taxes



As part of the Merger, we generated substantial tax deductions relating to the exercise of stock options and payments made for transaction bonuses. The
Successors condensed consolidated balance sheet as of October 1, 2005 reflects a current deferred tax asset of $20.7 million, of which $10.1 million represents the anticipated tax benefits that we expect to achieve in 2005 and 2006 from
such tax deductions and an income tax receivable of $17.5 million relating to deductions that can be carried back two years for federal income tax purposes. We expect to receive the income tax receivable in first quarter 2006. Management has
evaluated our deferred tax asset and has concluded that the realizability of the deferred tax asset is more likely than not. Therefore, we have not established a valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset. This evaluation considered our
historical and long-term expected profitability. Our ability to generate future taxable income is dependent on numerous factors, including general economic conditions, the state of the replacement tire market, and other factors beyond
managements control. Therefore, there can be no assurance that we will meet our expectation of future taxable income. Changes in expected future income could lead to us to record a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets.



As a part of the preliminary purchase price allocation, the
Successors condensed consolidated balance sheet as of October 1, 2005 includes a net non-current deferred tax liability of $78.6 million. The net deferred tax liability primarily relates to the expected future tax liability associated
with the non-deductible, identified, intangible assets that was recorded during the preliminary purchase price allocation less existing tax deductible intangibles assuming an effective tax rate of 40% (see Note 3 in Notes to Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this report for further information).



Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements



In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 151, Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43,
Chapter 4. The amendments made by SFAS No. 151 require that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted materials (spoilage) be recognized as current-period charges and require the allocation of fixed
production overheads to inventory based on the normal capacity of production facilities. SFAS No. 151 is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. We do not expect the adoption SFAS
No. 151 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment
(SFAS No. 123R). For non-public companies, as defined, the provisions of SFAS No. 123R are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2005. The new statement requires compensation expense associated with
share-based payments to employees to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. The Company is currently accounting for stock option grants in accordance with APB No. 25 and its related interpretations. Accordingly,
no compensation expense has been recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Upon the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company will be required to apply the provisions of the statement prospectively for any newly issued, modified or
settled award after the date of initial adoption. We are in the process of evaluating the impact the requirements of this statement will have on our consolidated financial statements.



In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections
(SFAS 154) which replaces Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 20 Accounting Changes and SFAS No. 3 Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements  An Amendment of APB
Opinion No. 28. SFAS 154 provides guidance on the accounting for, and reporting of, accounting changes and error corrections. It establishes retrospective application, or the latest practicable date, as the required method for
reporting a change in accounting principle and the reporting of a correction of an error. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not
expect the adoption of SFAS 154 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.



Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk.



For the period ended October 1, 2005, we did not experience any material changes from the quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk
presented in our Amended Registration Statement on Form S-4, except for the interest rate risk associated with the Senior Floating Rate Notes issued in connection with the Acquisition. Based on the outstanding balance of the Senior Floating Rate
Notes at October 1, 2005, an increase of 1% in interest rate percentages would increase our annual interest expense by $1.4 million.



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 Principal 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 have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management,
including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal 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 Principal Financial
Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting



During the quarter ended October 1, 2005, 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 three year conversion of our computer system to Oracle. We have already implemented the general ledger as well as the accounts payable and inventory 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.
