results of operations and cash flows for the unaudited periods presented.

Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 27, 2010. The results of operations for the interim periods being reported on herein are not
necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

The Company reports its results on a 52/53 week fiscal
year with the fiscal year ending on the last Saturday in March of each year. The following are the dates represented by each fiscal period reported in these condensed financial statements:



|                                          |  |

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company substantially completed the purchase price allocation for the fiscal year 2010 acquisitions. Some of the amounts previously estimated changed during
the measurement period. The significant changes in estimates included an increase in deferred income tax assets of $1.1 million for the second quarter; an increase in property, plant and equipment of $2.0 million and $2.5 million for the first and
second quarters, respectively; an increase in intangible assets of $1.1 million and $1.7 million for the first and second quarters, respectively; and an increase in long-term debt of $3.9 million and $4.6 million for the first and second quarters,
respectively. The measurement period adjustments represent updates made to the purchase price allocation based on revisions to valuation estimates in quarters subsequent to the quarter of acquisition and initial accounting. There were no significant
adjustments to the Companys Consolidated Statement of Income.

Note 2  Acquisitions

The Companys acquisitions are strategic moves in its plan to fill in and expand its presence in its existing and contiguous markets,
and leverage fixed operating costs such as distribution and advertising.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company
added seven retail tire and automotive repair stores located in Pennsylvania and Maine through two acquisition transactions. Collectively, these stores produced approximately $11.3 million in sales annually based on unaudited pre-acquisition
historical information. The total purchase price of these stores was approximately $7.1 million in cash and the assumption of certain liabilities. The acquisitions were financed through the Companys existing bank facility. The results of
operations of these acquired stores are included in the Companys results from their respective acquisition dates.

The
Company has recorded its initial accounting for these acquisitions in accordance with accounting guidance on business combinations. The acquisitions resulted in goodwill related to, among other things, growth opportunities and unidentified
intangible assets. All of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

The Company has recorded finite-lived
intangible assets at their determined fair value related to customer relationships. However, the Company has not completed its final purchase price accounting of these acquisitions due to the timing of the acquisitions. As the Company completes its
final accounting for these acquisitions, there may be changes, some of which may be material, to this initial accounting.

In accordance with accounting guidance on business combinations, the Company expensed
all costs related to these acquisitions in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. The total costs related to these acquisitions were not material to the Consolidated Statement of Income. These costs are included in the Consolidated Statement of Income

Intangible assets consist of customer lists which are being amortized over their estimated useful life of
ten years.

Note 3  Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per common share (EPS) amounts are computed by dividing earnings after the deduction of preferred stock dividends by the average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS amounts
assume the issuance of common stock for all potentially dilutive equivalents outstanding.

The following is a reconciliation
of basic and diluted EPS for the respective periods:

MONRO MUFFLER BRAKE, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT



The computation of diluted EPS excludes the effect of the assumed exercise of
approximately 180,000 and 181,000 stock options respectively, for the three and six months ended September 25, 2010, and 120,000 and 171,000 stock options respectively, for the three and six months ended September 26, 2009. Such amounts
were excluded as the exercise prices of these options were greater than the average market value of the Companys common stock for those periods, resulting in an anti-dilutive effect on diluted EPS.

Note 4  Income Taxes

In the normal course of business, the Company provides for uncertain tax positions and the related interest and penalties, and adjusts its unrecognized tax benefits and accrued interest and penalties
accordingly. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits were $5.9 million and $5.6 million, respectively at September 25, 2010 and March 27, 2010, the majority of which, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. As of
September 25, 2010, the Company had approximately $.6 million of interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits.

The Company is currently under audit by certain state tax jurisdictions for the fiscal 2001 to 2009 tax years. It is reasonably possible that the examination phase of the audit for these years may
conclude in the next 12 months, and that the related unrecognized tax benefits for tax positions taken regarding previously filed tax returns may change from those recorded as liabilities for uncertain tax positions in the Companys financial
statements as of September 25, 2010. However, based on the status of the examinations, it is not possible to estimate the effect of any amount of such change to previously recorded uncertain tax positions.

The Company files U.S. federal income tax returns and income tax returns in various state jurisdictions. The Companys fiscal 2007
and fiscal 2009 U.S. federal tax years and various state tax years remain subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities.

Note 5
 Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company reports derivatives and hedging activities in accordance with
accounting guidance on disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities. This statement requires that all derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded
each period in current earnings or other comprehensive income, depending on whether the derivative is designated as part of a hedge transaction, and if it is, depending on the type of hedge transaction.

At March 27, 2010, the notional amount of derivative financial instruments, which consisted solely of three interest rate swaps used

Second Quarter and Six Months Ended September 25, 2010 Compared To Second Quarter and Six Months Ended
September 26, 2009

Sales were $162.1 million for the quarter ended September 25, 2010 as compared with
$136.6 million in the quarter ended September 26, 2009. The sales increase of $25.5 million or 18.6%, was partially due to a comparable store sales increase of 6.4%. Additionally, there was an increase of $18.0 million related to new stores, of
which $16.8 million came from the fiscal year 2010 and

2011 acquisitions. Partially offsetting this was a decrease in sales from closed stores amounting to $1.0 million. There were 91 selling days in the quarter ended September 25, 2010 and in
the quarter ended September 26, 2009.

Sales were $320.3 million for the six months ended September 25, 2010 as
compared with $264.7 million in the six months ended September 26, 2009. The sales increase of $55.7 million or 21.0%, was partially due to a comparable store sales increase of 5.8%. Additionally, there was an increase of $42.5 million related
to new stores, of which $40.3 million came from the fiscal year 2010 and 2011 acquisitions. Partially offsetting this sales increase was a decrease in sales from closed stores amounting to $2.1 million.

The Company has slightly modified its methodology for calculating the number of selling days in each month and quarter. Previously, in
computing its comparable store sales percentage increases (adjusted for days), the Company did not include Sundays or open holidays in the number of selling days, but included all sales in each comparable period. This was because only a small number
of stores were open Sundays, and some were not open holidays. Also, these days were generally much shorter selling days. Now that over 50% of the Companys stores are open Sundays, almost all stores are open holidays, and the selling days are
longer, the Company concluded that counting Sundays and open holidays as selling days is now appropriate. Accordingly, selling days now include each day other than Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas. This change was made beginning in fiscal year
2011 (April 2010) and retroactively applied to prior months and quarters. There is no impact on reported actual comparable store sales increases for any prior periods. Nor will the change impact calculated comparable store sales increases in future
periods. However, this change may result in a change in the calculated comparable store sales percent increase in certain prior periods when adjusted for days.

For the fiscal year 2010 fiscal quarters and full year, the results were as follows:

At September 25, 2010, the Company had 783
company-operated stores and three franchised locations compared with 739 stores at September 26, 2009. During the quarter ended September 25, 2010, the Company closed two stores.

Management believes that the improvement in comparable store sales resulted from several factors, including an increase in sales across
all product categories. It is managements belief that strong in-store sales execution, highly effective advertising campaigns and price increases in several product categories also contributed to the sales improvement. Comparable store traffic
as well as average ticket increased over the prior year second quarter. Soft economic conditions and the related decrease in consumer spending and tightening of credit, resulting in declining automobile sales (as compared to historical levels),
helped to contribute to the improved sales. Management believes that consumers are keeping their cars longer and repairing them instead of trading them in for new cars. Additionally, while consumers can and often defer repairs when the economy is
weak, most repairs can only be deferred for a period of time. When customers do come in to have their vehicles repaired, it is managements belief that they spend more on average because the problem with their vehicle has worsened due to
additional wear.

Management also believes that the recent closings of dealerships by Chrysler and General Motors are driving
more business to the Companys stores as consumers look for alternative, proven, economical and more geographically convenient locations to service their automobiles.

Gross profit for the quarter ended September 25, 2010 was $66.4 million or 40.9% of sales as compared with $58.9 million or 43.1% of sales for the quarter ended September 26, 2009. The decrease
in gross profit for the quarter ended September 25, 2010, as a

percentage of sales, is due to several factors.

Total material costs,
including outside purchases, increased as a percentage of sales as compared to the prior year. The fiscal year 2010 and fiscal year 2011 acquisitions, all but one of which were tire stores, have resulted in a more pronounced shift in mix to the
lower margin tire category, causing margin pressure. Over 80% of the gross margin deterioration was attributable to these acquired tire stores. Tire and oil cost increases also contributed to the decline in margin. Partially offsetting these factors
were selling price increases across the chain.

There was also a decrease in labor costs as a percent of sales due primarily
to a continued shift in mix to tire sales and improved labor productivity, helping to improve gross profit. Additionally, distribution and occupancy costs decreased as a percentage of sales from the prior year as the Company, with improved sales,
was able to better leverage these largely fixed costs.

Gross profit for the six months ended September 25, 2010 was
$132.4 million, or 41.3% of sales, compared with $115.3 million or 43.5% of sales for the six months ended September 26, 2009.

The Company expects the decline in gross margin versus the prior year quarters to be most pronounced in its first and second quarters of fiscal year 2011, since it did not own the Tire Warehouse stores,
whose mix is almost 100% tires, until its third fiscal quarter last year. Management expects gross margin for the third and fourth quarters to begin to flatten out as compared to the same quarters of fiscal 2010, and operating profit to be
approximately 100 basis points better.

Operating expenses for the quarter ended September 25, 2010 were $43.7 million or
26.9% of sales as compared with $41.3 million or 30.2% of sales for the quarter ended September 26, 2009. Within operating expenses, selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the quarter ended September 25,
2010 increased by $2.0 million to $43.1 million from the quarter ended September 26, 2009, and decreased as a percentage of sales from 30.1% to 26.6%. The increase in dollars is directly attributed to the acquired stores operating
expenses. The decrease in percentage of sales is due to improved sales which have allowed the Company to leverage largely fixed costs, as well as a continued focus on cost control.

For the six months ended September 25, 2010, operating expenses increased by $6.3 million to $87.0 million from the comparable
period of the prior year and were 27.2% of sales compared to 30.5%.

SG&A expenses for the six months ended
September 25, 2010 increased $5.9 million to $86.2 million from the comparable period of the prior year and were 26.9% of sales as compared to 30.3%.

Operating income for the quarter ended September 25, 2010 of approximately $22.7 million increased by 29.5% as compared to operating income of approximately $17.5 million for the quarter ended
September 26, 2009, and increased as a percentage of sales from 12.8% to 14.0%.

Operating income for the six months
ended September 25, 2010 of approximately $45.3 million increased by 31.4% as compared to operating income of approximately $34.5 million for the six months ended September 26, 2009, and increased as a percentage of sales from 13.0% for
the six months ended September 26, 2009 to 14.1% for the six months ended September 25, 2010.

Net interest expense
for the quarter ended September 25, 2010 decreased by approximately $.2 million as compared to the same period in the prior year, and decreased from 1.1% to .7% as a percentage of sales for the same periods. The weighted average debt
outstanding for the quarter ended September 25, 2010 decreased by approximately $14 million as compared to the quarter ended September 26, 2009, primarily related to repayments made on the Companys Revolving Credit Facility
agreement. The weighted average interest rate was relatively flat as compared to the prior year.

Net interest expense for the
six months ended September 25, 2010 decreased by approximately $.7 million as compared to the same period in the prior year, and decreased .5% as a percentage of sales for the same periods. Weighted average debt decreased by approximately $7
million and the weighted average interest rate declined by approximately 90 basis points as compared to the same period of the prior year.

The effective tax rate for the quarter ended September 25, 2010 and September 26, 2009 was 38.2% and 38.1%, respectively, of pre-tax income.

The effective tax rate for the six months ended September 25, 2010 and September 26, 2009 was 38.0% and 37.9%, respectively, of
pre-tax income.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

Capital Resources

The Companys primary capital requirements in
fiscal year 2011 are the upgrading of facilities and systems and the funding of its store expansion program, including acquisitions of existing store chains. For the six months ended September 25, 2010, the Companys primary capital
requirements were divided between the funding of capital expenditures related to existing and greenfield stores totaling $6.6 million, and the funding of acquisitions totaling $7.1 million. Funds were provided primarily by cash flow from operations
and bank financing.

The Company paid dividends of $3.7 million during the six months ended September 25, 2010. In April
2010, the Companys Board of Directors declared its intention to pay a regular quarterly cash dividend of $.09 per common share or common share equivalent beginning with the first quarter of fiscal year 2011.

Management believes that the Company has sufficient resources available (including cash and equivalents, net cash flow from operations
and bank financing) to expand its business as currently planned for the next several years.

Liquidity

In July 2005, the Company entered into a five-year, $125 million Revolving Credit Facility agreement with five banks. A sixth bank was
added in June 2008. Interest only is payable monthly throughout the Credit Facilitys term. The facility included a provision allowing the Company to expand the amount of the overall facility to $160 million. Amendments in January 2007 and June
2008 were made to these amounts which increased the overall facility to $200 million and extended the expiration to January 2012. Currently, the committed sum is $163.3 million and the accordian feature is $36.7 million. Approximately $46.8 million
was outstanding at September 25, 2010, including $16.8 million of outstanding letters of credit.

The Company has
financed certain store properties and equipment with capital leases, which amount to $45.1 million and are due in installments through 2039.

The terms of the Credit Facility permit the payment of cash dividends not to exceed 25% of the preceding years net income, and allow stock buybacks subject to the Company being able to meet its
existing financial covenants. The Agreement requires the maintenance of specified interest and rent coverage ratios and amounts of net worth. At September 25, 2010, the Company is in compliance with the applicable debt covenants, and does not
foresee a risk of being out of compliance for the foreseeable future. These agreements permit mortgages and specific lease financing arrangements with other parties with certain limitations.

The Company enters into interest rate hedge agreements, which involve the exchange of fixed and floating rate interest payments
periodically over the life of the agreement without the exchange of the underlying principal amounts. The differential to be paid or received is accrued as interest rates change and is recognized over the life of the agreements as an offsetting
adjustment to interest expense. The Company entered into three $10 million interest rate swap agreements in July 2008 which expired in July 2010.

The purpose of these agreements was to limit the interest rate exposure in the Companys floating rate debt. Fixed rates under these agreements ranged from 3.27% to 3.29%.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There have been no developments to recently issued accounting standards, including the expected dates of adoption and estimated effects on the Companys consolidated financial statements, from those
disclosed in the Companys 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company is exposed to market risk from potential changes
in interest rates. At September 25, 2010 and March 27, 2010, approximately 2% and 58%, respectively, of the Companys long-term debt, excluding capital leases, was at fixed interest rates and therefore, the fair value is affected by
changes in market interest rates. The Companys cash flow exposure on floating rate debt, which is not supported by interest rate swap agreements, would result in interest expense fluctuating approximately $.3 million based upon the
Companys debt position at quarter ended September 25, 2010 and $.2 million for fiscal year ended March 27, 2010, given a 1% change in LIBOR.

The Company regularly evaluates these risks and had entered into three interest rate swap agreements, which expired in July 2010, with an aggregate notional amount of $30.0 million. These agreements
limited the interest rate exposure on the Companys floating rate debt, related specifically to the Revolving Credit Facility, via the exchange of fixed and floating rate interest payments periodically over the life of the agreements without
the exchange of the underlying principal amount. The fixed rates paid by the Company under these agreements ranged from 3.27% to 3.29%.

The Company believes the amount of risk and the use of derivative financial instruments described above are not material to the Companys financial condition or results of operations.
