6.       SEGMENT INFORMATION:


The Company classifies its business interests into three fundamental areas:
southeastern wholesale distribution of tires and products, western wholesale
distribution of tires and products and western retail sales of tires, products
and services. The Company evaluates performance based on several factors, of
which the primary financial measure is profit (loss) before interest expense,
income taxes, noncash amortization of intangible assets and depreciation

effective as of May 20, 1998 and California Tire effective as of January 12,
1999:

8.  STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY:


On May 24, 1999, Charlesbank Equity Fund IV, Limited Partnership, a
Massachusetts limited partnership, purchased approximately 95.2% of the
Company's issued and outstanding shares of Class A common stock and
approximately 96.8% of its issued and outstanding shares of Class B common stock
for a purchase price of approximately $44,000. In addition, in connection with
this transaction, the Company issued 150,000 shares of Class A common stock to
certain members of management.


Approximately $1,087 in fees related to this transaction is reflected as a
charge to retained earnings in the accompanying balance sheet.

9.       STOCK OPTION PLAN


In the second quarter of 1999, the Company adopted the 1999 Stock Option Plan
(the 1999 Plan). The purpose of the 1999 Plan is to attract and retain employees
(including officers), directors and independent contractors of the Company. The
1999 Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 1,050,000 shares of Class A voting
common stock to be issued to employees (including officers), directors and
independent contractors of the Company under terms and conditions to be set by
the Company's Board of Directors. In May 1999, the Company granted 500,000
options to various members of management at a fair value price of $9.00 per
share. The options are divided into three tiers that vest over varying periods
of time. All options expire 10 years from the date of grant. Under the 1999
Plan, no options vested and accordingly, no options were exercised at the end of
the second quarter.

10.      COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES


Winston was named as a defendant in a class action lawsuit filed on June 10,
1998 in Los Angeles County Superior Court on behalf of Winston store managers.
The lawsuit alleges that Winston violated certain California wage regulations
and unfair business practices. The Company believes that Winston's operations,
including its wage practices, fully comply with applicable California and
federal legal requirements and that the plaintiffs' claims are without merit.
The Company is vigorously defending the matter.


Additionally, the Company is involved in various 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 financial position or results of operations of the
Company.

ITEM 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations

         The following discussion and analysis of the results of operations,
financial condition and liquidity of the Company should be read in conjunction
with the unaudited financial statements and related notes thereto.

         The Company acquired Competition Parts Warehouse ("CPW") on May 20,
1998 and California Tire on January 12, 1999, and merged with ITCO on May 20,
1998. Therefore, results for 1998 exclude the operations of California Tire, and
include the operations for CPW and ITCO after May 20, 1998.

Results of Operations

         The following table sets forth each category of statements of
operations data as a percentage of net sales:

</TABLE>

  QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1998

         Net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 totaled $266.5 million,
an increase of $111.7 million, or 72.2%, from sales in the second quarter of
1998 of $154.7 million. The inclusion of sales for ITCO, CPW, and California
Tire accounted for over 90% of the increase in the second quarter of 1999.
However, with the integration of operations between Heafner and ITCO in the
Southeast, the exact effect cannot be determined. Each of the Company's
divisions reported sales increases ranging from 5.4% upward, with an overall
increase in net sales totaling 5.5% on a pro-forma basis.

         Gross profit was $61.2 million in the second quarter of 1999, an
increase of $25.8 million, or 73.1%, from $35.3 million in the corresponding
quarter in 1998. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit was 23.0% and 22.8%,
respectively. The increase in gross profit dollars was primarily due to the
inclusion of the acquired operations.
<PAGE>   12

         Selling, general and administrative expenses were $54.1 million in the
quarter ended June 30, 1999, an increase of $20.1 million, or 59.1%, from $34.0
million in second quarter of 1998. As a percentage of net sales, these expenses
were 20.3% and 22.0%, respectively. The increase in selling, general and
administrative expenses in 1999 was primarily due to the inclusion of the
acquired operations. The decrease in selling, general and administrative costs
as a percent of sales was due to a significantly higher proportion of
distribution sales, which have lower expense percentages than retail operations.
Offsetting this business mix change somewhat was slightly higher selling and
administrative costs in the Company's distribution operations as a percent of
sales. Included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the quarter
ended June 30, 1998 was a restructuring charge of $1.4 million related to costs
to be incurred by Heafner in the consolidation of distribution and corporate
office facilities and integration of management information systems.

         Interest and other expense increased from $2.8 million in the second
quarter of 1998 to $5.0 million in the second quarter this year. Interest
expense increased by $2.7 million in the second quarter of 1999 as a result of
increased borrowings incurred in connection with the acquisitions of ITCO, CPW,
and California Tire, increased utilization of anticipation discounts on
inventory purchases, and special inventory programs offered by vendors.

         Income taxes on pre-tax income were $1.8 million in the quarter ended
June 30, 1999 compared to $(0.5) in the corresponding quarter last year. The
effective income tax rates were 90.1% and 38.8% in the second quarter of 1999
and 1998, respectively. The tax provision for the second quarter 1999 takes into
account non-deductible goodwill amortization expense for income tax purposes.

         Net income for the second quarter of 1999 was $0.2 million, or 0.1% of
net sales compared to a net loss of $(3.2) million, or (2.1)% of net sales in
the corresponding quarter in 1998. The net loss for 1998 includes an
extraordinary charge of $3.7 million ($2.2 million net of taxes) for the
write-off of unamortized financing expenses and discounts and the payment of
prepayment penalties related to the early extinguishment of debt.



SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998

         Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1999 totaled $505.8
million, an increase of $262.4 million, or 107.8%, from sales for the same
period of 1998 of $243.4 million. The inclusion of sales for ITCO, CPW, and
California Tire accounted for over 90% of the increase in the six months of
1999. However, with the integration of

<PAGE>   13

operations between Heafner and ITCO in the Southeast, the exact effect cannot be
determined. The overall increase in net sales totaled 7.7% on a pro-forma basis.

         Gross profit was $113.9 million in the six months of 1999, an increase
of $53.5 million, or 88.6%, from $60.4 million in the corresponding six months
in 1998. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit was 22.5% and 24.8%,
respectively. The increase in gross profit dollars was primarily due to the
inclusion of the acquired operations. The decrease in overall gross margins in
1999 was due to a significantly higher proportion of distribution sales in the
current year, which carry lower gross margins than retail sales. The percentage
of distribution sales to total sales was in excess of 80% in the first six
months of 1999, versus just over 71% in the first six months of 1998.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses were $104.2 million in the
six months ended June 30, 1999, an increase of $46.0 million, or 79.1%, from
$58.2 million in six months of 1998. As a percentage of net sales, these
expenses were 20.6% and 23.9%, respectively. The increase in selling, general
and administrative expenses in 1999 was primarily due to the inclusion of the
acquired operations. The decrease in selling, general and administrative costs
as a percent of sales was due to a significant higher proportion of distribution
sales, which have lower expense percentages than retail operations. Offsetting
this business mix change somewhat was slightly higher selling and administrative
costs in the Company's distribution operations as a percent of sales. Included
in selling, general and administrative expenses in the six months ended June 30,
1998 was a restructuring charge of $1.4 million related to costs to be incurred
by Heafner in the consolidation of distribution and corporate office facilities
and integration of management information systems.

         Interest and other expense increased from $4.5 million in the six
months of 1998 to $9.7 million in the six months this year. Interest expense
increased by $6.2 million in the six months of 1999 as a result of increased
borrowings incurred in connection with the acquisitions of ITCO, CPW, and
California Tire, increased utilization of anticipation discounts on inventory
purchases, and special inventory programs offered by vendors.

         Income taxes on pre-tax income were $1.0 million in the six months
ended June 30, 1999 compared to $(0.8) in the corresponding six months last
year. The effective income tax rates were 989.0% and 36.8% in the six months of
1999 and 1998, respectively after taking into account non-deductible goodwill
amortization expense for income tax purposes for the first six months of 1999.

         The net loss for the six months of 1999 was $(1.0) million, or (0.2)%
of net sales compared to a net loss of $(3.6) million, or (1.5)% of net sales in
the corresponding period in 1998. The net loss for 1998 includes an
extraordinary charge of $3.7 million ($2.2 million net of taxes) for the
write-off of unamortized financing expenses and discounts and the payment of
prepayment penalties related to the early extinguishment of debt.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Financing committed by the lenders under the Company's revolving line of
credit is $100.0 million, approximately $68.3 million of which was drawn as of
June 30, 1999.

     The Company's principal source of cash during the quarter ended June 30,
1999 was from borrowings under the revolving credit facility. The Company's
principal source of cash during the quarter ended June 30, 1998 was the $100
million senior notes issue. Cash used in operating activities totaled $20.9
million and $3.6 million in the second quarter of 1999 and 1998, respectively.
Increases in inventories due to expanded product lines, special vendor programs,
and seasonal stocking totaled $14.0 million in 1999. In the second quarter of
1999, accounts receivable increased by $20.1 million due primarily to increased
sales volumes and to a lesser extent to restructured credit accounts as Heafner
and Itco continue merging the Southeast operations.

     Capital expenditures during the quarters ended June 30, 1999 and 1998
amounted to $3.4 million and $1.4 million, respectively. Capital spending during
the second quarter of 1999 was primarily for new equipment in retail operations,
acquisition of new retail locations, and expansion of distribution warehouses.

     During the second quarter, Charlesbank Capital purchased substantially all
of the stock of the Company held by members of the Gaither family and former
stockholders of Itco. As a result, they own in excess of 90% of the outstanding
Class A and B common stock. This transaction with Charlesbank provides the
Company with sources of additional equity for future acquisitions.

     The Company anticipates that its principal use of cash going forward will
be working capital requirements, debt service requirements, and capital
expenditures. In addition, the Company expects to pay $5.0 million relating to
consolidation of warehouse and office facilities, severance obligations, and
other exit costs over the next twelve months.

     Based upon current and anticipated levels of operations, the Company
believes that its cash flow from operations, together with amounts available
under the revolving credit facility, will be adequate to meet its anticipated
requirements. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company's business
will continue to generate sufficient cash flow from operations in the future to
service its debt, and the Company may be required to refinance all or a portion
of its 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 the Company.

<PAGE>   15

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

Portions of some of the accounting and operational systems and software used by
Heafner in its business identify years with two digits instead of four. If not
corrected, these information technology systems may recognize the year 2000 as
the year 1900, which might cause system failures or inaccurate reporting of data
that disrupts operations. Heafner has completed an internal assessment of all of
the business applications and related software used in its information
technology systems, including those of ITCO, CPW and California Tire, in order
to identify where "Year 2000" problems exist. As a result of this review,
Heafner believes that all of its information technology systems and software
either are Year 2000 compliant or can be brought into compliance by October of
1999, although there can be no assurance that any required remediation will be
completed in a timely manner.

In addition, Heafner is contacting non-information technology vendors to ensure
that any of their products currently used in Heafner's business adequately
address Year 2000 issues. Areas being reviewed include warehouse equipment,
telephone and voice mail systems, security systems and other office and site
support systems. Though there can be no assurance, Heafner believes based on its
review that Year 2000 problems in its non-information technology systems will
not cause a material disruption in Heafner's business.

Heafner also may be vulnerable to business interruptions caused by unremedied
Year 2000 problems of its significant suppliers of products or services. Heafner
has initiated formal communications with significant suppliers, including the
country's major tire manufacturers, to determine the extent to which Heafner's
operations may be affected by such third parties' Year 2000 non-compliance. Each
of the major tire manufacturers has informed Heafner that it anticipates no
disruption of tire supply or provision of significant business information as a
result of Year 2000 problems. Heafner's wholesale and retail customer base is
highly fragmented, with no single customer accounting for a significant portion
of Heafner's business. Accordingly, although it has not attempted to survey its
customers, Heafner believes that no significant risk exists in connection with
Year 2000 problems on the part of any of its customers.

Heafner does not expect the historical and estimated costs associated with
bringing its information technology and non-information technology systems into
Year 2000 compliance, including software modification, equipment replacement and
payments to outside solution providers, to be material. However, if Year 2000
issues in Heafner's information technology and non-information technology
systems are not remedied in a timely manner, or if Year 2000 problems on the
part of Heafner's customers and suppliers exist and are not remedied in a timely
manner, there can be no assurance that significant business interruptions or
increased costs having a material adverse effect on the business, financial
condition or results of operations of Heafner will not occur in connection with
the change in century. Risks of Year 2000 non-compliance on the part of Heafner
or any of its significant suppliers could include interruptions in supply from
tire manufacturers, disruption of Heafner's internal and external distribution
network, reduced customer service capabilities, breakdown of inventory control
and fulfillment systems and impairment of essential information technology
systems used by management. Heafner

<PAGE>   16

has not established nor does it plan to establish a contingency plan for Year
2000 compliance issues.


FACTORS AFFECTING FUTURE RESULTS

The preceding Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and
Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements that relate to the
company's future plans, objectives, estimates, and goals. These statements are
subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including, among others, the
ability of the Company to; maintain existing relationships with long standing
vendors; successfully implement its business strategy; integrate the new
divisions; and market and sell new products. These risks and uncertainties could
cause actual results and developments to be materially different from those
expressed or implied by any of the forward-looking statements included herein.

ITEM 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company does not consider its exposure to market risk to be material.


PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  Legal Proceedings

The Company's Winston subsidiary was named as a defendant in a class action
lawsuit filed on June 10, 1998 in Los Angeles Superior Court on behalf on
Winston store managers. The lawsuit alleges that Winston violated certain
California wage regulation and unfair business practices. The Company believes
that Winston's operations, including its wage practices, fully comply with
applicable California and federal legal requirements and that the plaintiff's
claims are without merit. The Company is vigorously defending the matter. In
addition the Company is involved in various 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 financial position or
results of operations of the Company.
