              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 JUNE 30, 2001

1.  NATURE OF BUSINESS:

     Heafner Tire Group, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") (formerly The J.
H. Heafner Company, Inc.), is a Delaware corporation primarily engaged in the
wholesale distribution of tires and tire accessories.

2.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

     The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared by the Company and have not been audited. In the opinion of management,
all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for
a fair presentation of the financial position of the Company, the results of its
operations and cash flows have been made. Certain information and footnote
disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. These
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and notes thereto included in the Company's consolidated financial statements
reported on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2000. The results
of operations for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2001 are not
necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year.
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year
presentation.

3.  NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

     In the first quarter 2001, the Company adopted Statement No. 133, as
amended by Statement No. 137 and Statement No. 138, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." This statement establishes accounting and
reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument (including
certain derivative instruments imbedded in other contracts) be recorded in the
balance sheet either as an asset or liability measured at its fair value. This
statement requires that changes in the derivatives fair value be recognized
currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met, and
requires that a company must formally document, designate and assess the
effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting. The adoption of
this statement had no material impact on the Company's financial position and
results of operations.

     In July 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 141 "Business Combinations"
("SFAS 141") and Statement No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS
142"). SFAS 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all
business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. This statement also
specifies that intangible assets acquired in a purchase method business
combination must meet certain criteria to be recognized and reported apart from
goodwill. SFAS 142 revises the accounting for purchased goodwill and intangible
assets. Under SFAS 142, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives
will no longer be amortized, but will be tested for impairment annually and in
the event of an impairment indicator. SFAS 142 also requires that intangible
assets with definite useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated
useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment in
accordance with Statement No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." The provisions of SFAS 141
apply to all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. The Company
will adopt the provisions of SFAS 142 effective January 1, 2002. The Company
expects that adoption of SFAS 142 will increase annual operating income by
approximately $7.6 million due to the non-amortization of goodwill. The Company
is currently evaluating the impairment provisions of SFAS 142 and has not yet
determined the effects, if any, of these changes on the Company's financial
position or results of operations.

4.  SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS:

     Outbound shipping and handling costs are classified as selling, general and
administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of
operations. Such expenses totaled $16.3 million and $14.5 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 and July 1, 2000, respectively, and $32.5 million and
$27.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and July 1, 2000,
respectively.

5.  REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY:

     Effective March 30, 2001, the Company amended its existing loan and
security agreement. The amended agreement provides for a senior secured
revolving credit facility (the "Revolver") which provides for borrowings in the
aggregate principal amount of up to the lesser of $180.0 million or the
Borrowing Base, as defined in the agreement, based on 85% of eligible accounts
receivable, the lesser of 65% of eligible tire inventory or $100 million and the
lesser of 50% of all other eligible inventory or $40 million (of which up to $10
million may be utilized in the form of letters of credit). At June 30, 2001, the
maximum loan amount available under the existing credit facility was $147.2
million of which $131.6 million was outstanding.

     The Revolver term expires in March 2005, extendable by the Company and the
banks for an additional five years. Borrowings under the Revolver, following
these amendments, bear interest, at (i) the Base Rate, as defined, plus the
applicable margin or (ii) the Eurodollar Rate, as defined, plus the applicable
margin. The applicable margins were increased resulting in an applicable margin
of 2.0% for Base Rate loans, and an applicable margin of 3.25% for Eurodollar
Rate loans. The applicable margins are subject to performance based step-downs
resulting in rates ranging from 0.5% to 2.0% for Base Rate loans and 1.75% to
3.25% for Eurodollar Rate loans, respectively.

     The Revolver, as amended, requires the Company to meet certain financial
requirements, including minimum EBITDA for continuing and discontinued
operations, fixed charge coverage and tangible capital funds, all as defined,
and minimum loan availability and certain covenants which, among other things,
restrict the ability of the Company to incur additional indebtedness; enter into
guarantees; make loans and investments; make capital expenditures; declare
dividends; engage in mergers, consolidations and asset sales; enter into
transactions with affiliates; create liens and encumbrances; enter into
sale/leaseback transactions; modify material agreements; and change the business
it conducts. The Company's obligations under the Revolver are secured by all
inventories and accounts receivable.

6.  DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS:

     Effective May 15, 2001, the Company completed a transaction pursuant to a
Stock Purchase Agreement to sell all the capital stock in Winston Tire Company
("Winston") to Performance Management, Inc. for a purchase price of
approximately $11.3 million, subject to adjustment. Upon closing, the Company
received $8.5 million in cash. The balance of $2.8 million is payable May 15,
2002. In addition, the Company has executed a Supply Contract with Winston as
secondary supplier, as well as a Limited License Agreement.

     The Company has accounted for the financial results and net assets of
Winston as a discontinued operation. Accordingly, previously reported financial
results for the prior year have been restated to reflect this treatment. Winston
incurred operating losses subsequent to the measurement date through the date of
sale which were charged to the Company's existing reserve for discontinued
operations.

     In the second quarter 2001, the Company recorded an $11.2 million loss on
disposal of discontinued operations, net of income tax benefits of $2.9 million,
in addition to the $1.2 million loss recorded in 2000. The additional loss
results primarily from changes in estimates made relative to the working capital
of Winston as of the sale date as well as additional liabilities assumed as part
of the transaction not contemplated prior to closing the transaction.

                            HEAFNER TIRE GROUP, INC.

      NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

     Net sales for discontinued operations were $12.8 million through the
January 26, 2001 measurement date and $89.2 million for the six months ended
July 1, 2000. Net sales from continuing operations for the three months ended
June 30, 2001 and July 1, 2000 include approximately $5.4 million and $15.9
million, respectively, of intersegment sales to Winston that have not been
eliminated in the accompanying statement of operations. For the six months ended
June 30, 2001 and July 1, 2000, such intersegment sales totaled $15.8 million
and $30.1 million, respectively.

7.  STOCKHOLDERS' INVESTMENT:

     On March 30, 2001, the Company amended and restated its articles of
incorporation to authorize 15,000,000 shares of a single class of $.01 par value
common stock and 1,344,834 shares of $.01 par value preferred stock. Of the
1,344,834 shares of preferred stock, 7,000 shares are initially designated
Series A preferred stock, 4,500 shares are initially designated Series B
preferred stock, and 1,333,334 shares are initially designated Series C
preferred stock.

     On April 2, 2001, the Company issued 1,333,334 shares of Series C preferred
stock for $9.00 per share in exchange for $12.0 million in cash contributed by
certain of its principal shareholders. Shares of Series C preferred stock accrue
dividends at an annual rate of 12% and are redeemable beginning May 16, 2009 at
the initial price plus any cumulative unpaid dividends as of the redemption
date. However, as long as any shares of Series A preferred stock or Series B
preferred stock remain outstanding, no dividends may be paid, nor redemption
occur. In addition, shares of Series C preferred stock are convertible into
common stock at a conversion price of $9.00 per common share.

8.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

     See "PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION, Item 1. Legal Proceedings."

     The Company is party to various lawsuits and claims, including purported
class actions, arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of
management, these lawsuits and claims are not, singularly or in the aggregate,
material to the Company's financial position or results of operations.

9.  SUBSIDIARY GUARANTOR FINANCIAL INFORMATION:

     The Company's Senior Notes are guaranteed on a full, unconditional and
joint and several basis by all of the Company's direct subsidiaries, each of
which is wholly owned. The condensed consolidating financial information for the
Company is as follows (in thousands):

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 financial statements and related notes included in this report.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED JULY 1, 2000

     Consolidated net sales in the second quarter 2001 increased by $44.1
million, or 17.1%, from the second quarter 2000, primarily due to the
acquisitions of American Tire Distributors ("ATD") and T.O. Haas Holding Co.
("Haas") in 2000. Of the increase, the inclusion of three months of sales for
Haas in the current quarter versus one month in second quarter 2000 accounted
for approximately $23.8 million. The majority of the remaining increase is
attributable to the inclusion of three months of sales for ATD in the current
quarter and no sales included in the second quarter 2000. However, the precise
effect cannot be determined due to the merger of these results into the
Company's existing operations. These increases are partially offset by a decline
in sales to Winston Tire Company ("Winston") of approximately $10.5 million due
to the sale of Winston as of May 15, 2001 and the closing of certain Winston
locations prior to the sale. Due to current economic conditions, competition was
strong across all segments in the second quarter 2001 and therefore, on a pro
forma basis, sales remained relatively flat compared to prior year.

     Gross profit increased by $12.5 million or 27.2% from the second quarter
2000. Gross profit as a percentage of sales increased to 19.3% in the second
quarter 2001 compared to 17.8% in the second quarter 2000. Margin increases are
primarily a result of a decline in sales to Winston prior to the sale of the
subsidiary, which carry lower margins, as well as the negotiation of improved
marketing programs with vendors and price increases effected during the quarter.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $14.2 million in
the second quarter 2001 representing 17.5% as a percentage of sales compared to
15.0% in the second quarter 2000. Increased operating expenses were principally
a result of the acquisitions of Haas and ATD in 2000. Operating expenses
increased as a percent of sales primarily due to increased wages relative to
sales dollars compared to prior year. This increase is primarily due to the
decline in sales to Winston for which corresponding labor savings have yet to be
realized as well as the acquisition of Haas, which due to its smaller
distribution centers, carries a higher labor to sales ratio than other divisions
of the Company where larger distribution centers are utilized.

     Interest expense increased in the second quarter 2001 by $1.5 million to
$7.6 million due to higher borrowings on the revolving credit line resulting
from acquisitions of Haas and ATD during the second and third quarters 2000.
Interest rates have remained relatively constant.

     The income tax benefit in the second quarter 2001 was $0.2 million compared
to a provision of $1.1 million for the same quarter in 2000. The difference
between the statutory tax rate and the effective tax rate is primarily due to
non-deductible goodwill amortization.

     EBITDA from continuing operations remained relatively consistent with prior
year at $10.7 million in the second quarter 2001 compared to $10.8 million in
the second quarter 2000 due to increased gross profit margins offset by
increased operating expenses as a percentage of sales as discussed above.

     Effective May 15, 2001, the Company completed a transaction pursuant to a
Stock Purchase Agreement to sell all the capital stock in Winston to Performance
Management, Inc. for a purchase price of approximately $11.3 million, subject to
adjustment. Upon closing, the Company received $8.5 million in cash. The balance
of $2.8 million is payable May 15, 2002. In addition, the Company has executed a
Supply Contract with Winston as secondary supplier, as well as a Limited License
Agreement. The Company has recorded an $11.2 million loss on disposal of
discontinued operations, net of income tax benefits of $2.9 million in the
second quarter 2001, in addition to the $1.2 million loss recorded in 2000. The
additional loss results primarily from changes in estimates made relative to the
working capital of Winston as of the sale date as well as additional liabilities
assumed as part of the transaction not contemplated prior to closing the
transaction.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JULY 1, 2000

     Consolidated net sales increased by $87.2 million, or 18.1%, from the
six-month period 2000. Of the increase, the inclusion of six months of sales for
Haas in the current period versus one month in the prior year period accounted
for approximately $50.1 million. The majority of the remaining increase is
attributable to the inclusion of six months of sales for ATD included in the
current period and no sales included in the prior year period. However, the
precise effect cannot be determined due to the merger of these results into the
Company's existing operations. These increases are partially offset by a decline
in sales to Winston due to the sale of Winston as of May 15, 2001 and the
closing of certain Winston locations prior to the sale. Proforma sales remained
relatively flat, as competition was strong throughout the six-month period 2001.
Units of replacement passenger and light truck tires shipped for the industry
were down approximately 3% in the first six months of 2001 with shipments of
108.0 million units compared to shipments of 111.4 million units in the first
six months of 2000.

     Gross profit increased by $24.3 million or 28.5% from the six-month period
of 2000. Gross profit as a percentage of sales increased to 19.3% in the
six-month period of 2001 compared to 17.7% in the six-month period of 2000.
Margin increases are primarily a result of a decline in intersegment sales to
Winston prior to the sale of the subsidiary, which carry lower margins, as well
as improved product mix, price increases effected in the second quarter and the
negotiation of improved marketing programs with vendors.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $31.5 million in
the six-month period 2001 representing 18.5% as a percentage of sales compared
to 15.4% in 2000. Increased operating expenses were primarily a direct result of
the acquisitions in 2000, increased operating costs due to higher fuel and
energy costs and one-time severance payments of $1.8 million. Such expenses
increased as a percent of sales primarily due to increased wages relative to
sales dollars compared to prior year. This increase is primarily due to
severance payments, a decline in sales to Winston for which corresponding labor
savings have yet to be realized, as well as the acquisition of Haas, which due
to its smaller distribution centers, carries a higher labor to sales ratio than
other divisions of the Company where larger distribution centers are utilized.

     Interest expense increased in the six-month period of 2001 by $3.1 million
to $15.0 million due to higher borrowings on the revolving credit line primarily
resulting from the acquisitions of Haas and ATD which occurred in the second and
third quarters of 2000. Interest rates have remained relatively constant.

     The income tax benefit in the six-month period of 2001 was $0.8 million
compared to an income tax provision of $1.0 million for the same period in 2000.
The difference between the statutory tax rate and the effective tax rate is
primarily due to non-deductible goodwill amortization.

     EBITDA from continuing operations decreased $4.4 million to $13.6 million
in the six-month period of 2001 compared to $18.0 million in the six-month
period 2000. This decrease is primarily due to higher selling, general and
administrative expenses, which include $1.8 million of one-time severance
payments to former executives of the Company, partially offset by an increase in
gross profit margins.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     At June 30, 2001, the combined net indebtedness (net of cash) of the
Company was $287.3 million compared to $289.1 million at December 30, 2000.
Total commitments by the lenders under the Company's revolving credit facility
were $180.0 million at June 30, 2001, of which $131.6 million was outstanding
and $15.6 million was available for additional borrowings.

     In May 2001, the Company completed its sale of Winston for approximately
$11.3 million, of which $8.5 million was received in cash. In addition, during
the six-month period 2001, the Company received approximately $5.1 million in
proceeds from the sale of assets of Winston prior to the sale of the subsidiary.
In April 2001, the Company received $12.0 million in proceeds from the issuance
of 1,333,334 shares of Series C Preferred Stock to certain of its principal
stockholders. The Company utilized the net proceeds from these transactions to
pay down the outstanding portion of its revolving credit facility. The Company
is currently negotiating the sale and leaseback of its owned facilities, which
is expected to generate approximately $15.0 million in cash in fourth quarter.
The Company intends to use these proceeds to reduce its revolving credit
                                        13

facility. Net working capital at June 30, 2001 totaled $107.6 million, compared
to $91.8 million (exclusive of net assets of discontinued operations) at
December 30, 2000, an increase of $15.8 million. The increase in working capital
from year-end is due to increased business activity during the period resulting
in higher receivable balances partially offset by a decrease in inventory levels
due to major inventory reduction efforts initiated in the second quarter 2001.

     Effective March 30, 2001, the Company and its lenders amended the revolving
credit facility ("Revolver") to, among other things, reduce the aggregate amount
of the Revolver from $200.0 million to $180.0 million, amend the financial
covenants contained therein, change the rate at which borrowings thereunder bear
interest, and require the Company to comply with additional reporting
requirements. Borrowings under the Revolver, following these amendments, bear
interest, at (i) the Base Rate, as defined, plus the applicable margin or (ii)
the Eurodollar Rate, as defined, plus the applicable margin. The applicable
margins were increased resulting in an applicable margin of 2.0% for Base Rate
loans, and an applicable margin of 3.25% for Eurodollar Rate loans. The
applicable margins are subject to performance based step-downs resulting in
rates ranging from 0.5% to 2.0% for Base Rate loans and 1.75% to 3.25% for
Eurodollar Rate loans, respectively.

     The Revolver, as amended, requires the Company to meet certain financial
requirements, including minimum EBITDA for continuing and discontinued
operations, fixed charge coverage and tangible capital funds, all as defined,
and minimum loan availability and certain covenants which, among other things,
restrict the ability of the Company to incur additional indebtedness; enter into
guarantees; make loans and investments; make capital expenditures; declare
dividends; engage in mergers, consolidations and asset sales; enter into
transactions with affiliates; create liens and encumbrances; enter into
sale/leaseback transactions; modify material agreements; and change the business
it conducts. The Company's obligations under the Revolver are secured by all
inventories and accounts receivable.

     The Company anticipates that its principal use of cash going forward will
be to meet working capital and debt service requirements and to make capital
expenditures (expected to be approximately $2.5 million for the remainder of the
year). Based upon current and anticipated levels of operations, the Company
believes that its cash flow from operations, together with amounts available
under the 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
meet these requirements or 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.
