MIDAS, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

1. Financial Statement Presentation

As used herein, and except where the context otherwise requires, the terms MDS and the Company refer to Midas, Inc. and its
consolidated subsidiaries. The term Midas refers to the Midas retail system only. The term SpeeDee refers to the SpeeDee retail system.

The condensed interim period financial statements presented herein do not include all of the information and disclosures customarily provided in annual financial statements and they have not been audited, as permitted
by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The condensed interim period financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements included in the annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended January 3, 2009. In the opinion of management, these financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement
of the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods ended July 4, 2009 (second quarter fiscal 2009) and June 28, 2008 (second quarter fiscal 2008) and of its financial position as of July 4,
2009. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 and 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year.

The unaudited condensed financial statements present the consolidated financial information for MDS and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The unaudited
condensed financial statements for the quarters ended July 4, 2009 and June 28, 2008 both cover a 13-week period. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In connection with the preparation of its fiscal 2008 year-end financial statements, the Company discovered an error in its pension projected benefit
obligation. The actuarially determined projected benefit obligation was not properly considering certain plan amendments that changed the participant benefit formulas in 1988 and 1991. As a result, the Companys projected benefit obligation was
understated by $3.8 million at fiscal year end 2008. This error had accumulated over the time since the benefit formula changes took place. The Company corrected this error by recording the cumulative impact as an adjustment to opening equity as of
the beginning of fiscal 2006, and recording additional pension expense in fiscal 2006, 2007 and 2008. The previously reported second quarter fiscal 2008 Statements of Operations, Statements of Cash Flows and Pension Plans footnote, have been
adjusted to reflect $0.1 million in additional pension expense.

Basic and diluted earnings per share were calculated based on the
following share counts (in millions):

Management evaluated all activity of MDS through August 13, 2009 (the issue date of the
Financial Statements) and concluded that no subsequent events have occurred that would require recognition in the Financial Statements or disclosure in the Notes to the Financial Statement.

Franchise royalties are recognized in the periods that correspond to the periods in which retail sales and revenues are recognized by franchisees.
Franchise renewal fees are recognized when the new franchise agreement is signed by the franchisee, the renewal period commences and all contractual obligations have been met. Product royalties are recognized as earned based on the volume of
franchisee purchases of products from certain vendors. Real estate revenues are recognized as earned on a monthly basis in accordance with underlying property lease terms using the straight-line method.

The majority of real estate revenues are derived from Midas shop locations. Nearly all of these locations are subject to an annual percentage rent based upon
the locations retail sales volume for the calendar year. Replacement part sales are recognized at the time products are shipped. Sales and revenues of company-operated shops are recognized when customer vehicles are repaired or serviced. Taxes
collected on behalf of taxing authorities are not recognized as revenue but rather are recorded as a liability and remitted to the proper taxing authority.

Cash and cash equivalents consist of deposits with banks and financial institutions and are unrestricted as to withdrawl or use, and credit card receivables, which generally settle within three days or less.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) 157-2, which delays the effective date of SFAS 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities that are not measured at
fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company adopted FSP 157-2 early on January 4, 2009 with no material impact.

In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based
Payment Transactions are Participating Securities (FSP EITF 03-6-1). FSP EITF 03-6-1 clarifies that unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or
unpaid) are participating securities and are to be included in the computation of earnings per share under the two-class method described in SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share. This FSP was effective for MDS on January 4, 2009
and requires all prior-period earnings per share data that is presented to be adjusted retrospectively. Specifically, the adoption of FSP EITF 03-6-1 required MDS to include incremental shares in the second quarter of both fiscal 2009 and 2008 Basic
Earnings Per Share calculation of 375,000 and 240,000 shares, respectively. These incremental shares did not impact the Basic Earnings Per Share in the second quarter of either fiscal 2009 or 2008 but did cause a $0.01 decrease in Basic Earnings Per
Share for the six months ended fiscal June in both fiscal 2009 and 2008.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1,
Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, (FSP FAS 107-1/APB 28-1). FSP FAS 107-1/APB 28-1 requires a publicly traded company to include disclosures about the fair value of its financial instruments
whenever it issues summarized financial information for interim reporting periods. Such disclosures include the fair value of all financial instruments, for which it is practicable to estimate that value, whether recognized or not recognized in the
statement of financial position; the related carrying amount of these financial instruments; and the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value. Other than the required disclosures, the adoption of FSP FAS 107-1/APB 28-1
had no impact on the Financial Statements.

In May 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 165, Subsequent Events, (SFAS 165). SFAS 165 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are
available to be issued. Specifically, SFAS 165 sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the
financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions
that occurred after the balance sheet date. The adoption of SFAS 165 had no impact on the Financial Statements as management already followed a similar approach prior to the adoption of this standard.

2. Supplemental Cash Flow Activity

Net cash flows from
operating activities reflect cash payments for interest and taxes as follows (in millions):



|                  |  |                                     |     |      |   |

|Income taxes paid |  |                                     | 0.3 |      |   | 0.4

The acquisition of certain company-operated shops resulted in non-cash reductions of accounts
receivable of approximately $0.9 million during the first six months of fiscal 2008.

3. Inventories

Inventories were composed of finished goods in both the quarter ended July 4, 2009 and the year ended January 3, 2009.

4. Business
Transformation Activities

In connection with the Companys ongoing retail transformation, MDS developed a major update to its retail
shop image. The new image program incorporates changes to internal shop appearance and merchandising, as well as a significant redesign of the Midas shop façade. MDS management believes the new image will better showcase the Companys
expansion into new services, enhance efforts to educate customers and significantly increase the visibility and curb appeal of the typical Midas shop. In order to encourage Midas franchisees to adopt this new image, the Company offered an incentive
program whereby MDS provides a subsidy of up to $2,600 per shop for franchisees who agreed to adopt the program prior to certain target dates. Currently, 1,325 locations have converted to the new image. The incentive program ended for U.S. shops in
fiscal 2008 and will conclude for Canadian shops in fiscal 2009.

Prior to fiscal 2009, the Company had recorded charges of $5.4 million
related to this program. MDS management expects that this program will result in additional business transformation costs during fiscal 2009, including $0.1 million recorded in the first six months of fiscal 2009.

In addition, the Company recorded business transformation charges of $0.1 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2009 in conjunction with the
changeover of the Canadian warranty program as described in Note 8 below.

5. Debt Agreements

On October 27, 2005, MDS entered into a five-year, unsecured $110 million revolving credit facility. On February 4, 2008, the Company amended
the loan by increasing the revolving credit facility to $130 million. The amended facility is further expandable to $165 million at the Companys discretion with lender approval. The interest rate floats based on the underlying rate of LIBOR
and the Companys leverage and was priced at LIBOR plus 1.75% at July 4, 2009. This facility requires maintenance of certain financial covenants including maximum allowable leverage and minimum tangible net worth. As of July 4, 2009,
the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants.

As of July 4, 2009, a total of $81.9 million was outstanding under the
revolving credit facility. As of January 3, 2009, a total of $83.6 million was outstanding under the revolving credit facility.

In
November 2005, $20 million in senior bank debt was converted from floating rate to fixed rate by locking-in LIBOR at 4.89% for a five year period. In addition, in March 2007, MDS entered into an interest rate swap arrangement to convert an
additional $25 million in senior bank debt from floating rate to a fixed rate by locking-in LIBOR at 4.91% for the remaining term of the Companys bank agreement (October 2010). This swap effectively replaced a declining balance swap that
expired in March 2007 under which LIBOR was locked-in at 2.76% for a three-year term. As a consequence, currently $45 million of the Companys $81.9 million in senior bank debt is at fixed rates.

Both the November 2005 and March 2007 swap arrangements have been designated as cash flow hedges and have been evaluated to be highly effective. As a
result, the after-tax change in the fair value of these swaps is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income as a gain or loss on derivative financial instruments. As of July 4, 2009, the fair value of these instruments was a pre-tax
loss of approximately $2.4 million.

The fair value of the Companys revolving credit facility is determined as the present value of
expected future cash flows discounted at the current interest rate for loans of similar terms and comparable credit risk.

6. Pension Plans

Certain MDS employees are covered under various defined benefit pension plans sponsored and funded by MDS. Plans covering salaried and hourly corporate employees provide pension benefits based on years of service, and generally are limited
to a maximum of 20% of the employees average annual compensation during the five years preceding retirement. Plan assets are invested primarily in common stocks, corporate bonds, and government securities.

The components of net periodic pension cost recognized for the interim periods are presented in the following table (in millions):

The Company made no contributions to the pension plans during the first six months of fiscal 2009.
In September 2009, the Company expects to contribute approximately $2.0 million to its U.S. defined benefit plan in order to achieve minimum statutory funding requirements.

7. Stock-Based Compensation and Other Equity Instruments

Stock Options

The Midas Stock Incentive Plan, the Midas Treasury Stock Plan and the Midas Directors Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plans) authorize
the issuance of up to 4,806,886 shares of Midas common stock pursuant to the exercise of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options and stock appreciation rights and the grant of restricted stock and performance awards. Options granted
pursuant to the Plans generally vest annually over a period of four to five years commencing one year after the date of grant. It is the Companys policy to issue shares out of treasury when options are exercised. The following table summarizes
information regarding the outstanding stock options as of July 4, 2009:

The weighted average estimated fair value of the options granted in the six months ended June 2009 and
2008 was $4.52 and $5.82 respectively, based on the Black-Scholes valuation model using the following assumptions:

As of July 4, 2009, there was $4.2 million in stock option
compensation expense related to unvested awards not yet recognized, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years.

Restricted Stock

From time to time the Company grants shares of restricted stock to certain employees, officers and
directors. Certain restricted stock vests at the five or seven year anniversary, with provisions for accelerated vesting upon the occurrence of certain pre-determined events (cliff-vesting shares), while other restricted stock vests
equally over periods of three to five years or only upon the occurrence of certain pre-determined events (the latter being referred to as performance shares). The fair value of all but the performance share grants is equal to the stock
price on the date of the grant. The fair value of the performance share grants is based on their derived service period calculated using either a Monte Carlo simulation model or managements expectations of achieving the objectives depending on
the nature of the performance criteria. Activity for restricted shares for the first six months of fiscal 2009, including the non-vested restricted shares outstanding and the weighted average grant-date fair value of those restricted shares, is
shown in the table below:

As of July 4, 2009, there was $5.6 million of unamortized restricted stock compensation of
which $8.5 million was included as a reduction to paid-in capital and $2.9 million was included in non-vested restricted stock subject to redemption. The $5.6 million of unamortized restricted stock compensation is expected to be recognized over a
weighted average period of 2.6 years.

Restricted stock grants include a change in control provision, which provides for cash
redemption of non-vested restricted stock in certain circumstances. Securities and Exchange Commission Accounting Series Release No. 268 (ASR 268), Presentation in Financial Statements of Redeemable Preferred Stocks, requires
securities with contingent cash settlement provisions that are not solely in the control of the issuer, without regard to probability of occurrence, to be classified outside of shareholders equity. While the Company believes the possibility of
occurrence of any such change of control event is remote, the contingent cash settlement of the restricted stock as a result of such event would not be solely in the control of the Company. As such, the Company presents the $2.9 million value of
non-vested restricted stock as temporary equity on the consolidated balance sheet as of July 4, 2009. Upon the vesting of the restricted stock the Company reclassifies the value of the restricted stock to permanent equity.

Common Stock Warrants

On
March 27, 2003, the Company issued 1.0 million warrants valued at $5.0 million in connection with its 2003 debt restructuring. On January 5, 2004, 500,000 of these warrants were automatically cancelled because the Company met certain
financial objectives contained in the warrant agreements. As of July 4, 2009, a total of 41,273 warrants remained outstanding. The exercise price of the warrants is $0.01, and the warrants are exercisable at any time up to March 27, 2013.
Any warrants that remain unexercised at March 27, 2013 are automatically exercised as of that date.

---

The Company did not record an excess tax benefit in the first six months of fiscal 2009 or fiscal 2008
related to stock-based compensation plans or equity instruments. The Company was in a net operating loss carry-forward position for the first six months of fiscal 2009 and 2008. As a result, the excess tax benefit is not recognized until
the deduction reduces the Companys income taxes payable, which occurs once the net operating loss has been fully utilized. Therefore, there was no impact on cash flows from operating activities or cash flows from financing activities in
the Statement of Cash Flows.

8. Warranty

Customers are provided a written warranty from MDS on certain Midas products purchased from Midas shops in North America, namely brake friction, mufflers, shocks and struts. The warranty will be honored at any Midas shop in North America
and is valid for the lifetime of the vehicle, but is voided if the vehicle is sold. The Company maintains a warranty accrual to cover the estimated future liability associated with outstanding warranties. The Company determines the estimated value
of outstanding warranty claims based on: 1) an estimate of the percentage of all warranted products sold and registered in prior periods at retail that are likely to be redeemed; and 2) an estimate of the cost of redemption of each future warranty
claim on a current cost basis. These estimates are computed using actual historical registration and redemption data as well as actual cost information on current redemptions.

Year-to-date warranty activity through the first six months of fiscal 2009 is summarized as follows (in millions):



|                                                             |  |   |      |

|Accrued warranty  non-current                               |  | $ | 12.6 |

As of January 1, 2008, the Company changed how the Midas warranty obligations are funded in
the United States. From June 2003 through December 2007, product royalties received from the Companys preferred supply chain vendors were recorded as revenue and substantially offset the cost of warranty claims. Beginning in fiscal 2008, the
Midas warranty program in the United States is funded directly by Midas franchisees. The franchisees are charged a fee for each warranted product sold to customers. The fee is charged when the warranty is registered with the Company. The fee billed
to franchisees is deferred and is recognized as revenue when the actual warranty is redeemed and included in warranty expense. This fee is intended to cover the Companys cost of the new warranty program, thus revenues under this program will
match expenses and the new warranty program will have no impact on the results of operations. In connection with this change, beginning in 2008 Midas system franchisees in the United States started receiving rebates on their purchases from the
Companys preferred supply chain vendors and MDS no longer receives product royalties on Midas franchisee purchases in the United States. Because the Companys U.S. supply chain partners are responsible for the warranty of parts during the
first 12 months, MDS did not begin to record revenues or expenses under the new program until fiscal 2009. As of July 4, 2009, deferred warranty obligations under this program were $4.2 million. In the first six months of fiscal 2009, the
Company recognized $0.2 million of warranty revenue in replacement part sales and product royalties and $0.2 million of incremental warranty expense associated with this program.

As of July 1, 2009, the Company changed how the Midas warranty obligations are funded in Canada to match the U.S. program. As a result, beginning in
July 2009 Midas system franchisees in Canada started receiving rebates on their purchases from the Companys preferred supply chain vendors and MDS no longer receives product royalties on Midas franchisee purchases in Canada. Because the
Companys Canadian supply chain partners are responsible for the warranty of parts during the first 12 months, MDS will not begin to record revenues or expenses under the new Canadian program until the third quarter of fiscal 2010.

9. Acquisitions and Divestitures

The Company has entered
into a purchase agreement, which could result in the purchase of up to four shops from a Midas franchisee if the purchase agreements are not assigned to third party buyers prior the expiration of the option periods. The purchase agreement requires
MDS to purchase four shops for approximately $1.1 million no later than December 16, 2009. Additionally, the purchase agreement requires MDS, or an assigned third party, to purchase the land and building for one of the four locations by
December 16, 2009, for approximately $0.7 million, though MDS has the option to lease this property for six months prior to purchase.

10. Derivative Instruments

The Company has market risk exposure to changes in interest rates, principally in the United States. MDS attempts to minimize this risk and fix a portion of its overall borrowing costs through the utilization of
interest rate swaps. MDS hedges variable cash flows resulting from floating-rate debt. Variable cash flows from outstanding debt are converted to fixed-rate cash flows by entering into receive-variable, pay-fixed interest-rate swaps. Hedge
ineffectiveness is eliminated by matching all terms of the hedged item and the hedging derivative at inception and on an ongoing basis. MDS does not exclude any terms from consideration when applying the matched terms method.

The fair values of the Companys interest rate swaps are estimated using Level 2 inputs, which are based on model-derived valuations in which all
significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. The Company also considers counterparty credit-risk and bilateral or own credit risk adjustments in estimating fair value, in accordance with the
requirements of SFAS 157.

The fair value of derivative instruments is summarized as follows (in millions):

Because the interest rate contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges and have been
evaluated to be highly effective, there is no impact on the Statement of Operations. The after-tax change in the fair value of these swaps is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income as a gain or loss on derivative financial instruments.

11. Contingencies

On June 12, 2009, the
Company received a Notice of Arbitration from MESA S.p.A. (MESA) and Norauto Groupe SA (Norauto). MESA is an Italian company which operates the Midas system in Europe under a License Agreement and an Agreement of Strategic
Alliance (the 1998 Agreements) with the Company. Norauto is a French company that acquired MESA from the Fiat Group in October 2004.

Background

Until 1998, the Company directly owned and managed its network of franchised and company-operated Midas shops
throughout the world. In 1998, the Company reached an agreement with Magneti Marelli, S.p.A. (Marelli), a member of the Fiat Group, to form a strategic alliance to accelerate the development of the Midas system in Europe and South
America. Midas management concluded that Marelli had the financial and human resources to accelerate the development of the Midas business in Europe and South America at a much faster pace than the Company. Accordingly, the Company sold its
interests in Europe and South America (Midas Europe) to Marelli for $100 million in October 1998, and entered into a licensing agreement for the Midas trademarks as part of the transaction.

In October 2004, Norauto acquired Magneti Marelli Services S.p.A. (Marelli Services) from the Fiat Group. Marelli Services was a newly-formed
subsidiary of Fiat that was created to own the Midas Europe business that was purchased from the Company in 1998. Upon acquisition by Norauto in October 2004, Marelli Services was renamed MESA S.p.A. by Norauto.

The license agreement with Marelli (and now with MESA) provided for fixed U.S. dollar denominated royalty payments of approximately $9 million per year
through 2007. Effective January 1, 2008, the royalty converted to 1% of Midas Europes system-wide retail sales. As a result, the royalty paid to the Company by MESA decreased from approximately $8.9 million in 2007 to approximately $4.4
million in 2008.

Arbitration

Under the terms of the 1998 Agreements, all disputes are to be settled by binding arbitration in Geneva, Switzerland under the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules by a panel of three arbitrators. In demanding arbitration, MESA and Norauto claim that
the Company has breached, and continues to breach, its obligations to cooperate and execute the agreement in good faith by failing to develop and update the performance of the Midas System in Europe and South America. As a result, MESA is asking the
arbitrators to require the



11



---

Company to pay for damages and losses incurred by MESA and Norauto, including a portion of royalties previously paid to the Company, and the alleged decrease
in the value of the MESA business and lost profits because of MESAs inability to successfully open Midas shops in new countries, in an estimated amount of Euro 74 million.

MESA and Norauto are also asking the arbitrator to require the Company to renegotiate the terms of the 1998 Agreements currently in effect or to cancel
these agreements due to the alleged breach by the Company and require the Company to indemnify MESA and Norauto for any losses resulting from the termination of these agreements. The Company believes that the claims by MESA and Norauto are without
merit and intends to vigorously pursue a defense against these claims.

12. Income Taxes

The Companys effective tax rate was 63.0% in the first six months of fiscal 2009 compared to 40.0% in the first six months of fiscal 2008 and the
2009 statutory tax rate of 39.2%. The fiscal 2009 variance from the statutory rate was due to the revaluation of the remaining U.S. deferred tax asset associated with restricted stock that vested in May 2009 at a stock price that was lower than the
stock price on the day these awards were initially granted, as well as a write-down of the Canadian deferred tax asset due to a reduction in corporate income tax rates for both Ontario and British Columbia enacted during the first six months of
fiscal 2009.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

MDS management is focused on building shareholder value through the profitable
growth of the Company. The two main drivers of profit growth for MDS are increases in comparable shop sales and increases in shop count through the sale of additional franchised units. These two drivers are closely integrated, as the sale of
franchises is much easier in an environment where franchised shop sales and profits are growing.

Growing Comparable Shop Sales

MDS management believes the key to growing sales in the Midas system in North America is to focus on those services that are most
critical to the regular maintenance of vehicles: brake replacement, fluid replacement and tire replacement. These services are required of all vehicles at periodic intervals and management believes future success in automotive service requires that
a service provider possess expertise, credibility and top-of-mind awareness in all three categories. These periodic services will serve as the gateway to forming broader, long-term relationships with customers, including factory scheduled
maintenance and major repairs.

Brakes: The Midas system has long been a leader in the brake category throughout North
America. The Companys strength in brake services dates back nearly 30 years and is backed by the well-known Midas lifetime guarantee. While brakes remain the largest and most profitable service category for the Midas system, brake sales at
retail have declined over the past several years, producing a significant drag on overall system sales performance. The Companys efforts to drive retail brake sales starts with ensuring brake product quality across the Midas system. During
2008, the Company introduced new mandatory minimum performance standards for Midas brake friction to be used by franchisees. In connection with the improved product quality standards, the Company launched its SecureStop branded brake service, which
helps Midas differentiate the service provided by Midas shops amongst numerous competitors who rely almost exclusively on price. In 2009, the Company changed its promotional brake strategy from national single-price-point television advertising to a
more locally-focused advertising approach. Brake service is very competitive on a local level and management believes the move to local advertising provides Midas franchisees with greater flexibility in addressing local market conditions.
Furthermore, it allows for a more consistent share of voice in brake promotions.

Tires: In the last five years, Midas
successfully launched a major retail initiative to significantly expand Midas shop sales of tires and related tire services. In support of this objective, the Company formed an alliance with Bridgestone-Firestone to distribute tires directly to
Midas system shops throughout North America. As a result, comparable shop sales of tires and related tire services in North America increased significantly in each of the past four years. Despite this multi-year success in driving tire sales, tires
remain a relatively small component of the Midas system overall sales mix: less than 6% in the U.S. and 9% in Canada for 2008. Management believes that achieving a 20% sales mix in tires is both attainable and important to the future growth of the
Midas system in North America.

The Company continues to test a significantly expanded tire program in certain company-operated and
franchised Midas shops. If this program succeeds, it will serve as a model for shops throughout the Midas system. Going forward, the Company believes that sales of tires and related tire services will be a significant component of future revenue
growth for the Midas system.

Fluid Exchanges: In fiscal 2005, the Company began the roll out of a series of initiatives
designed to build sales in maintenance services as a means to increase repeat customer business. The program most importantly included the standardization of the Midas oil change service and vehicle inspection process, providing all customers with
suggested factory maintenance schedules and increasing the Midas shops focus and capabilities in fluid exchange services, which are an increasingly important component of factory scheduled maintenance.

In response to the Companys efforts to build maintenance revenues and increase shop visit frequency, comparable shop sales of oil changes in North
America have increased in the past two years. However, revenues from this category still represent less than 7% of Midas system sales, and the typical Midas shop performs less than six oil changes per day. While oil change revenue and car count have
been growing over the past several years, management believes the Midas system has the capacity to significantly increase that number by leveraging the operating knowledge of the SpeeDee system and enhanced local marketing efforts. Growth in car
count is important to driving sales growth in the Midas system.

Growing Shop Count

Since fiscal 1998, annual Midas shop closings have exceeded annual new shop openings. The annual shop closing rate during this period of approximately
2.8% is consistent with other mature retail companies, however the opening rate has lagged. This



13



---

reduced opening rate is due to a variety of factors including the increased complexity of the Midas shop operating model, a lack of focus on new shop
development by the MDS management team during many of those years, an over-supply of automotive repair centers in general, and a re-deployment of capital by MDS away from real estate investments.

During this time the Company has also diverted many new franchisees that may have opened new shops away from new shop development and instead have helped
them buy existing Midas shops from existing Midas franchisees. Midas is an older franchise system and thus numerous long-term franchisees have struggled with the ongoing changes required to adapt to the current automotive aftermarket. The Company
has been working diligently to identify those franchisees that are not capable or not willing to adapt to the new environment and has been assisting them in transitioning out of the Midas system. This has caused many new franchisees to purchase
existing Midas shops rather than to develop new ones. This transformation has been underway for some time and Midas has averaged over 100 shop transitions per year in the past three fiscal years, with most shops transitioned to new franchisees.

The benefits of transitioning Midas shops to new franchisees can be seen in the performance of these shops. Sales at shops within the
first year after transition have historically far outperformed the sales performance of the broader Midas system. In some cases, the improvement is dramatic with sales rising as much as 100%. In the next several years the Company hopes to accelerate
the number of transitions each year and thereby increase the capacity of the Midas system as a whole to adapt and thrive in this new business environment.

In addition to transitions, the Company believes that the roll-out of the Midas-SpeeDee Co-Brand concept and the acquisition/conversion of competing automotive repair centers both provide a significant opportunity to
grow the North American franchise system. A successful test of the new Midas-SpeeDee Co-Brand concept has the potential to create a new growth platform for the Company by substantially enhancing the economics and return-on-investment of a franchised
automotive service shop. Because the automotive service market is both fragmented and saturated, the Company believes that unit growth is best achieved through acquisitions and conversions of independents rather than de novo opening of newly
constructed sites. These two opportunities are explained in greater detail below.

The Midas-SpeeDee Co-Brand Opportunity: In
April 2008, MDS acquired the SpeeDee auto service franchise system. The SpeeDee business model focuses on fluid exchanges and maintenance, providing a high quality auto service experience in a quick-service format. SpeeDee leverages the
quick-service customer relationship as a gateway to a broader general repair relationship with its customers.

The Company believes the
acquisition of SpeeDee provides both the Midas and SpeeDee franchise systems with a unique opportunity for growth in the future. By combining into one location Midas expertise in general repairs and strong brand awareness with SpeeDees
strength in executing quick-lube and fluid exchanges, the Company believes it can create a powerful new format focused on satisfying the needs of time-pressed consumers seeking value, excellence and a long-term auto service relationship. The Company
expects that a Midas-SpeeDee Co-Brand format shop will see customers much earlier in the lifecycle of their vehicle (relative to the typical Midas shop) and will be more able to convert these vehicles into general repair customers (relative to the
typical SpeeDee shop) as the vehicles age. The resulting higher unit sales volume may produce a higher return on investment for the franchisee by better leveraging shop overhead expenses.

The Company launched its first test of the Midas-SpeeDee Co-Brand concept with three shops during the third quarter of fiscal 2008. All three were
existing SpeeDee locations in California that added the Midas brand to their shop. A fourth Co-Branded unit, also in California, opened on a de novo basis in October 2008. The initial results have been very encouraging. The three SpeeDee
shops that converted to Co-Brand units in California have generated significant comparable shop sales increases since launch, and the shops have far outperformed the SpeeDee-only units in the same region. In the first quarter of fiscal 2009,
comparable shop sales for the initial Co-Brand shops rose 15%, and in the second fiscal quarter the increase accelerated further to 17%. The Company expects to test Co-Branding at additional SpeeDee locations during 2009.

During December of 2008, the Company began a test of the Co-Brand concept within existing Midas shops. Four Midas company-operated shops in suburban
Chicago were remodeled to accommodate the operating requirements of the SpeeDee concept, which generate much higher vehicle throughput than the typical Midas shop. Three of the four shops launched in the first quarter of 2009 and the fourth shop
opened in April. In the second quarter of fiscal 2009, the four shops combined to deliver a comparable shop increase of approximately 8.5% compared to a 1.3% decrease for Midas-only shops in the market. Of note, the daily car counts for these shops
have increased dramatically to 26 per day compared to 12 per day in the quarter for the average Midas shop. This increase was achieved despite the fact that the SpeeDee brand name was unknown to customers in the Chicago metropolitan area.
The Company is in the process of co-branding all but one of its twelve company-operated Midas shops in Southern California.

The ongoing testing of the Midas-SpeeDee Co-Brand concept encompasses numerous shop formats, and the
Company expects that such testing will be completed during 2009. The results of these tests will be critical in determining the issues involved with integrating the SpeeDee model into selected Midas locations across the U.S. and Canada. If
successful, the new Co-Brand format could provide a platform for accelerating Company growth by providing Co-Brand opportunities to existing Midas and SpeeDee franchisees, as well as a superior format for de novo shop growth in the future.

Acquisitions and Conversions: The U.S. automotive repair industry is highly fragmented. This is demonstrated by the fact
that Midas, as one of the largest automotive maintenance and repair providers in the U.S., has less than 1% of the automotive repair shops in the U.S. Despite the increase in the number of vehicles on the road in the U.S. over the last 15 years, the
number of automotive service outlets in the U.S. has been in decline. Vehicle complexity and the resulting need for highly skilled technicians, training programs and technologically advanced diagnostic equipment, along with the increased cost of
real estate, has caused a net decrease of almost 7% of all automotive repair outlets in the past 10 years. More recently, automobile dealerships have been closing in record numbers, causing consumers to seek out alternatives.

The Company believes that the acquisition of existing automotive repair shops, as well as the conversion of independent repair facilities to the Midas,
SpeeDee or Co-Brand formats, is the most efficient way to grow the MDS system. Furthermore, the Company believes that the current economic environment will result in an increase in acquisition and conversion opportunities, as competitors struggle to
remain viable during this economic downturn. During the third quarter of fiscal 2009 the Company expects to complete four conversions of non-Midas locations to Midas.

Second Quarter Fiscal 2009 Compared with Second Quarter Fiscal 2008

The following is a summary of
the Companys sales and revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 and 2008: ($ in millions)

Total sales and revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 declined $2.4 million, or
4.9 %, from the second quarter of fiscal 2008. Within the retail auto service business, royalty revenues and license fees decreased $1.7 million, or 10.8%, from fiscal 2008. Approximately $0.4 million of this was due to weakness in Midas retail
sales as total North American comparable shop sales declined 3.5%, approximately $0.4 million was due to a reduction in the number of Midas shops in operation, approximately $0.4 million was due to a stronger U.S. dollar reducing the value of
Canadian and European royalties and approximately $0.4 million was due to lower franchise fees due to fewer shop sales.

While royalty
revenue in the Midas system was down in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, U.S. car count rose by 11% and U.S. oil change revenues increased by 25% on a comparable shop basis. The Companys recent transition to a more locally focused, higher
frequency advertising program is generating increased customer visits; however, this increased traffic has not yet translated into increased comparable shop sales as cautious consumers delay more expensive repairs. The Company believes the increased
traffic is creating the foundation for future revenue growth as automobiles continue to age and satisfied oil change customers return to Midas for their general service and repair needs.

Revenues from real estate leases declined $0.6 million to $8.1 million driven by a net reduction in the number of shops paying rent to Midas due to shop
closures, lower revenue from sales-based rental agreements and a weaker Canadian dollar.

Sales from company-operated shops were $16.8
million in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to $16.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2008. The increased revenues reflect a comparable shop sales increase of 1.1% during the second quarter of fiscal 2009, as well as an increase in
the company-operated shop count due to shop acquisitions in the past 12 months.

Replacement part sales and product royalties decreased
13.0% from $6.9 million to $6.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2009. The Company recorded lower sales of tires to Midas franchisees despite the fact that tire revenues grew nearly 6.5% at retail. U.S. franchisees are purchasing more tires
from sources outside of the Bridgestone-Firestone network in order to diversify their tire offerings. Software sales and maintenance revenue increased $0.2 million to $1.5 million reflecting continued growth in the Companys RO Writer
point-of-sale software business, especially with customers outside of the Midas system.

---

Total operating costs and expenses declined $0.5 million, or 1.2%, in the second quarter of fiscal 2009
to $42.5 million. Occupancy expenses for franchised shops declined $0.1 million, or 1.8%, reflecting a reduction in Canadian rent expense due to the much weaker Canadian dollar and a small decrease in shops under lease, partially offset by scheduled
increases in rent expense for shops leased by the Company. Company-operated shop costs and expenses rose to $17.2 million from $16.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2009. The increase in operating expenses was driven by higher sales, as well
as additional shops and incremental overhead required to support the higher shop count compared to the same period one year ago. The Company also incurred certain one-time costs by converting 11 company-operated shops in San Diego to the Co-Brand
business model during the quarter. Payroll and employee benefit costs increased to 42.3% of company-operated shop sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to 40.7% in the same period of the prior year. Company-operated shop occupancy and
other expenses as a percentage of company-operated shop sales were approximately flat to the prior year at 32.7% for the second quarter of fiscal 2009. Company-operated shop cost of sales increased from 25.9% of company-operated shop sales in the
second quarter of fiscal 2008 to 27.4% in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, primarily as a result of an increase in the proportion of sales of oil and tires and higher discounts that helped to drive customer traffic.

Replacement part cost of sales decreased to 88.3% of replacement part sales and product royalties, from 89.9% in the second quarter of fiscal 2008. The
decreased cost of replacement part sales relative to revenue was due to a more favorable mix on the products sold to franchisees. Warranty expense in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 was $0.3 million, which was an increase of $0.1 million from the
prior year. In the U.S., the Company recorded no warranty expense in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 because under the new U.S program, adopted January 1, 2008, the Companys U.S. supply chain partners are responsible for the warranty of
parts during the first 12 months. After that 12 month period expires, the Company records a periodic warranty expense as warranties are redeemed, which is exactly offset by warranty revenue. The Companys Canadian Midas system adopted the same
program on July 1, 2009. Going forward, the Companys warranty expense will continue to grow on a year-over-year basis reflecting the cumulative growth of the warranty obligation under the new program. However, because recognition of the
deferred warranty obligation will exactly offset the growth in warranty expense, it will have no net impact on the Companys operating income.

Selling, general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 declined $0.2 million, or 1.4%, from the second quarter of fiscal 2008 to $13.9 million. The decrease was achieved despite incremental operating expenses
related to the vesting of certain restricted stock, higher costs for workers compensation, increased pension expense, as well as ongoing legal costs for two class action lawsuits. In this difficult revenue environment, the Companys
management remains very focused on cost control.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2009, MDS recorded business transformation charges of
$0.2 million. Approximately $0.1 million is related to the changeover of the Canadian warranty program and $0.1 million is part of the Companys partial funding of the rollout of a new shop image for Canadian Midas franchisees. During the
second quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company recorded business transformation charges of $0.4 million in connection with the Companys partial funding of the rollout of a new shop image for Midas franchisees. The Companys new image program
will wind down during fiscal 2009 with additional business transformation charges expected during the remainder of fiscal 2009.

During the
second quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company recorded a loss on sale of $0.3 million in connection with the sale of certain company-operated shop assets. No losses were recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2009.

As a result of the above changes, operating income decreased $1.9 million to $3.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 from $5.8 million in
second quarter of fiscal 2008 and operating income margin decreased to 8.4% of sales from 11.9% of sales.

Interest expense was $2.1
million in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to $2.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2008. Interest expense declined in the current year due to lower average bank debt compared to the prior year and a 70 basis point reduction in the
Companys average borrowing rate.

Other income was $0.2 million in the second quarter of both fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008. Other
income consists primarily of interest income on overdue customer accounts and foreign currency exchange gains or losses.

The Companys effective tax rate was 78.6% in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to 39.7% in
the second quarter of fiscal 2008 and the 2009 statutory tax rate of 39.2%. The fiscal 2009 variance from the statutory rate was due to the revaluation of the remaining U.S. deferred tax asset associated with restricted stock that vested in May 2009
at a stock price that was lower than the stock price on the day these awards were initially granted, as well as a write-down of the Canadian deferred tax asset due to a future reduction in Ontarios corporate income tax rate enacted during the
second quarter of fiscal 2009.

As a result of the above items, net income decreased $1.8 million from net income of $2.2 million in the
second quarter of fiscal 2008 to net income of $0.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2009.

Total sales and revenues for the first six months of fiscal 2009 declined $2.9 million, or 3.1%,
from the first six months of fiscal 2008. Within the retail auto service business, royalty revenues and license fees decreased $2.0 million, or 6.9%, from fiscal 2008. This decrease primarily reflects weakness in Midas retail sales as total North
American comparable shop sales declined 3.4%, a reduction in the number of Midas shops in operation, a stronger U.S. dollar reducing the value of Canadian and European royalties and lower franchise fees. While royalty revenue in the Midas system was
down in the first six months of fiscal 2009, U.S. car count rose by 9% and U.S. oil change revenues increased by 24% on a comparable shop basis.

Revenues from real estate leases declined $1.0 million to $16.4 million driven by a net reduction in the number of shops paying rent to Midas due to shop closures, lower revenue from sales-based rental agreements and a weaker Canadian
dollar.

Sales from company-operated shops were $32.4 million in the first six months of fiscal 2009 compared to $31.1 million in the first
six months of fiscal 2008. The increased revenues reflect an increase in the company-operated shop count due to shop acquisitions in the past 12 months, partially offset by a comparable shop sales decrease of 0.8% during the first six months of
fiscal 2009.

Replacement part sales and product royalties decreased 11.0% from $13.6 million to $12.1 million in the first six months of
fiscal 2009. The Company recorded lower sales of tires to Midas franchisees despite the fact that tire revenues grew nearly 5.3% at retail. U.S. Franchisees are purchasing more tires from sources outside of the Bridgestone-Firestone network in order
to diversify their tire offering. Software sales and maintenance revenue increased $0.3 million to $2.8 million reflecting continued growth in the Companys RO Writer point-of-sale software business, especially with customers outside of the
Midas system.

Total operating costs and expenses declined $0.7 million, or 0.8%, in the first six months of fiscal 2009 to $83.1 million.
Occupancy expenses for franchised shops declined $0.2 million, or 1.7%, reflecting a reduction in Canadian rent expense due to the much weaker Canadian dollar and a small decrease in shops under lease, partially offset by scheduled increases in rent
expense for shops leased by the Company. Company-operated shop costs and expenses rose to $33.4 million from $31.1 million in the first six months of fiscal 2009. The increase in operating expenses was driven by higher sales, as well as additional
shops and incremental overhead required to support the higher shop count compared to the same period one year ago. Payroll and employee benefit costs increased to 42.3% of company-operated shop sales in the first six months of fiscal 2009 compared
to 41.2% in the same period of the prior year. Company-operated shop occupancy and other expenses as a percentage of company-operated shop sales were 33.3% for the first six months of fiscal 2009 compared to 33.1% for the prior year.
Company-operated shop cost of sales increased from 25.7% of company-operated shop sales in the first six months of fiscal 2008 to 27.5% in the first six months of fiscal 2009, primarily as a result of an increase in the proportion of sales of oil
and tires and higher discounts that helped to drive customer traffic.

Replacement part cost of sales decreased to 87.6% of replacement part sales and product royalties, from
90.4% in the first six months of fiscal 2008. The decreased cost of replacement part sales relative to revenue was due to a more favorable mix on the products sold to franchisees. Warranty expense in the first six months of fiscal 2009 was $0.4
million, which was an increase of $0.1 million from the prior year. In the U.S., the Company recorded no warranty expense in the first six months of fiscal 2008 because under the new U.S program, adopted January 1, 2008, the Companys U.S.
supply chain partners are responsible for the warranty of parts during the first 12 months.

Selling, general and administrative expenses
in the first six months of fiscal 2009 declined $0.3 million, or 1.1%, from the first six months of fiscal 2008 to $27.1 million. The decrease was achieved despite incremental operating expenses related to the vesting of certain restricted stock,
higher costs for workers compensation, increased pension expense, as well as ongoing legal costs for two class action lawsuits.

During the first six months of fiscal 2009, MDS recorded business transformation charges of $0.2 million. Approximately $0.1 million is related to the changeover of the Canadian warranty program and $0.1 million is part of the
Companys partial funding of the rollout of a new shop image for Canadian Midas franchisees. During the first six months of fiscal 2008, the Company recorded business transformation charges of $0.6 million in connection with the Companys
partial funding of the rollout of a new shop image for Midas franchisees.

During the first six months of fiscal 2009, the Company recorded
a loss on sale of $0.1 million in connection with the sale of certain company-operated shop assets. During the first six months of fiscal 2008, the Company recorded a loss on sale of $0.6 million in connection with the sale of certain
company-operated shop assets.

As a result of the above changes, operating income decreased $2.2 million to $7.6 million in the first six
months of fiscal 2009 from $9.8 million in first six months of fiscal 2008 and operating income margin decreased to 8.4% of sales from 10.5% of sales.

Interest expense was $4.1 million in the first six months of fiscal 2009 compared to $4.5 million in the first six months of fiscal 2008. Interest expense declined in the current year due to lower average bank debt
compared to the prior year and a reduction in the Companys average borrowing rate.

Other income was $0.3 million in the first six
months of fiscal 2009 compared to $0.4 million in the first six months of fiscal 2008. Other income consists primarily of interest income on overdue customer accounts and foreign currency exchange gains or losses.

The Companys effective tax rate was 63.0% in the first six months of fiscal 2009 compared to 40.0% in the first six months of fiscal 2008 and the
2009 statutory tax rate of 39.2%. The fiscal 2009 variance from the statutory rate was due to the revaluation of the remaining U.S. deferred tax asset associated with restricted stock that vested in May 2009 at a stock price that was lower than the
stock price on the day these awards were initially granted, as well as a write-down of the Canadian deferred tax asset due to a reduction in corporate income tax rates for both Ontario and British Columbia enacted during the first six months of
fiscal 2009.

As a result of the above items, net income decreased $2.0 million from net income of $3.4 million in the first six months of
fiscal 2008 to net income of $1.4 million in the first six months of fiscal 2009.

The Companys cash management system permits the Company to make daily borrowings and repayments on
its revolving line of credit, allowing MDS to minimize interest expense and to maintain a low cash balance. The Companys cash and cash equivalents decreased $0.2 million in the first six months of fiscal 2009.

The Companys operating activities provided net cash of $6.6 million during the first six months of fiscal 2009 compared to $12.2 million of cash
provided by operations in the first six months of fiscal 2008. Excluding cash outlays for business transformation costs and changes in assets and liabilities, cash provided by operating activities decreased from $14.5 million in the first six months
of fiscal 2008 to $10.3 million in the first six months of fiscal 2009, due to the decrease in net income, lower utilization of deferred tax assets, reduced business transformation charges, a decrease in the loss on sale of assets and lower
depreciation and amortization. Cash outlays for business transformation costs declined from $0.7 million in the first six months of fiscal 2008 to $0.1 million in the first six months of fiscal 2009. Cash outlays for business transformation costs in
the first six months of fiscal 2009 and the first six months of fiscal 2008 were primarily related to the Companys update of its retail shop image.

Changes in assets and liabilities changed from a $1.6 million use of cash in the first six months of fiscal 2008 to a $3.6 million use of cash in the first six months of fiscal 2009. The $3.6 million use of cash in
the first six months of fiscal 2009 was driven by a decline in accrued advertising due to the timing of payments. The $1.6 million use of cash in 2008 was primarily due to a decline in accrued expenses due to the timing of payments.

Investing activities used $2.5 million of cash in the first six months of fiscal 2009 compared to $24.8 million of cash used in first six months of
fiscal 2008. Fiscal 2009 investing activities consisted of $2.4 million in capital expenditures and $0.1 million paid in conjunction with the acquisition of a shop and other assets from a Midas franchisee. The $2.4 million in capital expenditures
included $1.4 million in Co-Branding spending on Midas company-operated shops, $0.3 million for systems development projects, $0.5 million for company-operated shop equipment additions and $0.2 million of other capital expenditures. Fiscal 2008
investing activities consisted of $21.8 million paid in conjunction with the acquisition of SpeeDee in April 2008 and the acquisition of 11 company-operated shops, $3.4 million in capital expenditures and $0.4 million in cash generated as the result
of the sale of eight company-operated shops. The $3.4 million in capital expenditures included $0.6 million in office renovation costs, $1.3 million for real estate purchases, $0.4 million for systems development projects and $1.1 million for
company-operated shop equipment additions and other capital expenditures.

Net cash used in financing activities was $4.3 million in the
first six months of fiscal 2009, compared to net cash provided of $14.1 million in first six months of fiscal 2008. During fiscal 2009, MDS decreased total debt by $2.4 million, decreased outstanding checks by $1.2 million and paid $0.7 million to
repurchase shares of the Companys common stock from employees to satisfy tax obligations upon vesting of restricted stock awards. During fiscal 2008, the Company increased total debt by $15.0 million due primarily to the purchase of the
SpeeDee franchise business in April 2008, decreased outstanding checks by $0.9 million, paid $0.2 million to repurchase shares of the Companys common stock and received $0.2 million in cash from the exercise of outstanding stock options.

On October 27, 2005, MDS entered into a five-year, unsecured $110 million revolving credit facility. On February 4, 2008, the
Company amended the loan by increasing the revolving credit facility to $130 million. The amended facility is further expandable to $165 million at the Companys discretion with lender approval. The interest rate floats based on the underlying
rate of LIBOR and the Companys leverage and was priced at LIBOR plus 1.75% at July 4, 2009. This facility requires maintenance of certain financial covenants including maximum allowable leverage and minimum tangible net worth. As of
July 4, 2009, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants.

As of July 4, 2009, a total of $81.9 million was
outstanding under the revolving credit facility. As of January 3, 2009, a total of $83.6 million was outstanding under the revolving credit facility.

In November 2005, $20 million in senior bank debt was converted from floating rate to fixed rate by locking-in LIBOR at 4.89% for a five year period. In addition, in March 2007, MDS entered into an interest rate swap
arrangement to convert an additional $25 million in senior bank debt from floating rate to a fixed rate by locking-in LIBOR at 4.91% for the remaining term of the Companys bank agreement (October 2010). This swap effectively replaced a
declining balance swap that expired in March 2007 under which LIBOR was locked-in at 2.76% for a three-year term. As a consequence, currently $45 million of the Companys $81.9 million in senior bank debt is at fixed rates.

Both the November 2005 and March 2007 swap arrangements have been designated as cash flow hedges and have been evaluated to be highly effective. As a
result, the after-tax change in the fair value of these swaps is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income as a gain or loss on derivative financial instruments.

The fair values of the Companys interest rate swaps are estimated using Level 2 inputs, which are
based on model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. The Company also considers counterparty credit-risk and bilateral or own credit risk adjustments in
estimating fair value, in accordance with the requirements of SFAS 157.

On November 9, 2004, the MDS Board of Directors authorized a
share repurchase program to begin in fiscal 2005 for up to $25 million of the Companys outstanding common stock. On May 9, 2006, the MDS Board of Directors authorized a $25 million increase in the share repurchase program and on
May 8, 2007 the Board authorized an additional $50 million increase. The Company has paid approximately $65.7 million for shares acquired under this current program since the buyback program was first authorized in 2004. At this time, the
Company has temporarily suspended its share repurchases and is focused on reducing outstanding bank debt.

The Company has entered into a
purchase agreement, which could result in the purchase of up to four shops from a Midas franchisee if the purchase agreements are not assigned to third party buyers prior the expiration of the option periods. The purchase agreement requires MDS to
purchase four shops for approximately $1.1 million no later than December 16, 2009. Additionally, the purchase agreement requires MDS, or an assigned third party, to purchase the land and building for one of the four locations by
December 16, 2009, for approximately $0.7 million, though MDS has the option to lease this property for six months prior to purchase.

Recent market conditions have negatively affected the value of assets held by the Companys pension plans as of July 4, 2009 and could impact the value of these assets in the future. The most recently reported pension values, as
of January 3, 2009, reflected plan assets at fair market value of $44.8 million and an actuarial present value of projected benefit obligations of $63.8 million.

The Companys policy is to fund the pension plans in accordance with applicable U.S. and Canadian government regulations and to make additional contributions as required. As of January 3, 2009, the
Company had met all regulatory minimum funding requirements. In fiscal year 2008, MDS made no contributions to the Companys pension plans as per the regulatory minimum funding requirements. As a result of the significant reduction in the fair
value of the U.S. plan assets, MDS will be required to make a contribution to the U.S. plan in fiscal year 2009. Under the U.S. Pension Protection Act of 2006 (PPA) MDS would have been expected to contribute approximately $2.9 million to the
U.S. pension plan during 2009. New legislation, the Worker, Retiree, Employer Recovery Act of 2008 (WRERA), was passed in late December 2008 and provides temporary loosening of pension funding requirements. The 2009 funding requirements under
WRERA are less than the funding requirements under PPA. Under WRERA, the Company expects to contribute approximately $2.0 million to the U.S. Plan during 2009.

The Company believes that cash generated from operations and availability under the current debt agreement provides sufficient liquidity to finance operations and execute strategic initiatives for at least the next 12
months.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

In preparing the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management must make a variety of decisions which impact the reported
amounts and related disclosures. Such decisions include the selection of the appropriate accounting principles to be applied, the assumptions on which to base accounting estimates, and the consistent application of those accounting principles. Due
to the type of industry in which the Company operates, the nature of its business, and the Companys existing business transformation process, the following accounting policies are those that management believes are most important to the
portrayal of the Companys financial condition and results and that require managements most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently
uncertain.

Valuation of Warranty Liabilities

Customers are provided a written warranty from MDS on certain Midas products purchased from Midas shops in North America, namely brake friction, mufflers, shocks and struts. The warranty will be honored at any Midas
shop in North America and is valid for the lifetime of the vehicle, but is voided if the vehicle is sold. The Company maintains a warranty accrual to cover the estimated future liability associated with outstanding warranties. The Company determines
the estimated value of outstanding warranty claims based on: 1) an estimate of the percentage of all warranted products sold and registered in prior periods at retail that are likely to be redeemed; and 2) an estimate of the cost of redemption of
each future warranty claim on a current cost basis. These estimates are computed using actual historical registration and redemption data as well as actual cost information on current redemptions.



20



---

The determination of the number of products sold that are likely to be redeemed requires MDS to make
significant estimates and assumptions regarding the relationship of historical warranty claim behavior; warranty claim behavior across product lines and geographical areas; and the impact of changes in consumer behavior on future warranty claims. A
decrease of one percentage point in the estimated percentage of warranted products likely to be redeemed in the U.S. would have the effect of changing the Companys January 3, 2009 outstanding U.S. warranty liability by approximately $2.2
million. A change in the estimated current cost of warranty redemptions of one dollar would have the effect of changing the outstanding U.S. warranty liability by $0.8 million.

As of January 1, 2008, the Company changed how the Midas warranty obligations are funded in the United States. From June 2003 through December 2007,
product royalties received from the Companys preferred supply chain vendors were recorded as revenue and substantially offset the cost of warranty claims. Beginning in fiscal 2008, the Midas warranty program in the United States is funded
directly by Midas franchisees. The franchisees are charged a fee for each warranted product sold to customers. The fee is charged when the warranty is registered with the Company. The fee billed to franchisees is deferred and is recognized as
revenue when the actual warranty is redeemed and included in warranty expense. This fee is intended to cover the Companys cost of the new warranty program, thus revenues under this program will match expenses and the new warranty program will
have no impact on the results of operations. In connection with this change, beginning in 2008 Midas system franchisees in the United States started receiving rebates on their purchases from the Companys preferred supply chain vendors and MDS
no longer receives product royalties on Midas franchisee purchases in the United States. Because the Companys U.S. supply chain partners are responsible for the warranty of parts during the first 12 months, MDS did not begin to record revenues
or expenses under the new program until fiscal 2009. As of July 4, 2009, deferred warranty obligations under this new program were $4.2 million.

As of July 1, 2009, the Company changed how the Midas warranty obligations are funded in Canada to match the U.S. program. As a result, beginning in July 2009 Midas system franchisees in Canada started receiving
rebates on their purchases from the Companys preferred supply chain vendors and MDS no longer receives product royalties on Midas franchisee purchases in Canada. Because the Companys Canadian supply chain partners are responsible for the
warranty of parts during the first 12 months, MDS will not begin to record revenues or expenses under the new Canadian program until the third quarter of fiscal 2010.

Valuation of Receivables

The Company records receivables due from its franchisees and other
customers at the time the sale is recorded in accordance with its revenue recognition policies. These receivables consist of amounts due from the sale of products, royalties due from franchisees and suppliers, rents and other amounts. The future
collectability of these amounts can be impacted by the Companys collection efforts, the financial stability of its customers, and the general economic climate in which it operates. Recent market conditions have increased the uncertainty in
making these estimates. Any adverse change in these factors could have a significant impact on the collectability of these assets and could have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

The Company applies a consistent practice of establishing an allowance for accounts that it feels may become uncollectible through reviewing the
historical aging of its receivables and by monitoring the financial strength of its franchisees and other customers. Where MDS becomes aware of a customers inability to meet its financial obligations (e.g., where it is in financial distress or
has filed for bankruptcy), the Company specifically reserves for the potential bad debt to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount it reasonably believes will be collected. The valuation of receivables is performed on a quarterly basis.

Pensions

The
Company has non-contributory defined benefit pension plans covering certain of its employees. The Companys funding policy for the U.S. plan is to contribute amounts sufficient to meet the minimum funding requirement of the Employee Retirement
Income Act of 1974, plus any additional amounts the Company may deem to be appropriate. The Company accounts for its defined benefit pension plans in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 87,
Employers Accounting for Pensions, and SFAS No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans  an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R),
which require that amounts recognized in the financial statements be determined on an actuarial basis. Under SFAS No. 158, the amount recorded as pension assets or liabilities is determined by comparing the projected benefit obligation (PBO) to
the fair value of the plan assets. Amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss consist of unrecognized actuarial gains, losses, and prior service costs, net of tax.



21



---

To account for its defined benefit pension plans in accordance with SFAS No. 87, the Company must
make three main determinations at the end of each fiscal year: First, it must determine the actuarial assumption for the discount rate used to reflect the time value of money in the calculation of the projected benefit obligation for the end of the
current fiscal year and to determine the net periodic pension cost for the subsequent year. For guidance in determining this rate, the Company looks at rates of return on high-quality fixed-income investments and periodic published rate ranges.

Second, the Company must determine the actuarial assumption for rates of increase in compensation levels used in the calculation of the
accumulated and projected benefit obligations for the end of the current fiscal year and to determine the net periodic pension cost for the subsequent year. In determining these rates the Company looks at its historical and expected rates of annual
salary increases.

Third, the Company must determine the expected long-term rate of return on assets assumption that is used to determine
the expected return on plan assets component of the net periodic pension cost for the subsequent year. The difference between the actual return on plan assets and the expected return is deferred under SFAS No. 87 and is recognized in net
periodic pension cost over a five-year period. The Company assumed a long-term rate of return on pension assets of 8.5% in fiscal 2008 and 2007, and experienced a loss on plan assets of $14.6 million in fiscal 2008, and a gain on plan assets of $7.4
million in fiscal 2007.

Carrying Values of Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets

Goodwill:The Company tests the recorded amount of goodwill for recovery on an annual basis in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. Goodwill is
tested more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. The Company continually assesses whether any indicators of impairment exist, which requires a significant amount of judgment. Such indicators may include: a sustained significant decline in
our share price and market capitalization; a decline in our expected future cash flows; a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate; unanticipated competition; the testing for recoverability of a significant asset group
within a reporting unit; or slower growth rates, among others. Any adverse change in these factors could have a significant impact on the recoverability of these assets and could have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

The goodwill impairment test is a two step analysis. In Step One, the fair value of each reporting unit is compared to its book value.
Management must apply judgment in determining the estimated fair value of these reporting units. Fair value is determined using a combination of present value techniques and quoted market prices of comparable businesses. If the fair value of the
reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, goodwill is not deemed to be impaired for that reporting unit, and no further testing would be necessary. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value, the Company performs Step
Two. Step Two uses the calculated fair value of the reporting unit to perform a hypothetical purchase price allocation to the fair value of the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. The difference between the fair value of the reporting unit
calculated in Step One and the fair value of the underlying assets and liabilities of the reporting unit is the implied fair value of the reporting units goodwill. A charge is recorded in the financial statements if the carrying value of the
reporting units goodwill is greater than its implied fair value.

The determination of fair value of the reporting units and assets
and liabilities within the reporting units requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions primarily include, but are not limited to, the discount rate, terminal growth rates, earnings before
depreciation and amortization, and capital expenditures forecasts. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making these estimates, actual results could differ from those estimates. In both the U.S. and Canada, the reporting unit is defined as
retail operations, which consists of both franchised and Company-operated locations.

Long-lived Assets: Long-lived assets
include property and equipment, intangible assets, long-term prepaid assets and other non-current assets. The Company reviews long-lived assets held for use for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount
may not be recoverable. Events that may indicate long-lived assets may not be recoverable include, but are not limited to, a significant decrease in the market price of long-lived assets, a significant adverse change in the manner in which the
Company utilizes a long-lived asset, a significant adverse change in the business climate, a recent history of operating or cash flow losses, or a current expectation that it is more likely than not likely that a long-lived asset will be sold or
disposed of in the future. For impairment testing purposes, the Company groups its long-lived assets at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities (the asset
group).

If the Company determines that a long-lived asset or asset group may not be recoverable, it compares the sum of the expected
undiscounted future cash flows that the asset or asset group is expected to generate to the asset or asset groups carrying value. If the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows exceed the carrying amount of the asset or asset group, the
asset or asset group is not considered impaired. However, if the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets or asset



22



---

group, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value of the asset or asset group and the carrying value of the asset or asset group. The
fair value of the asset or asset group is generally determined by discounting the expected future cash flows using a discount rate that is commensurate with the risk associated with the amount and timing of the expected future cash flows. Due to the
inherent uncertainty involved in making these estimates, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Deferred Income Taxes

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or
all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management
considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Any adverse change in these factors could have a significant impact on the realizability of the
Companys deferred tax assets and could have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

Based upon
the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of these
deductible differences at July 4, 2009. In the event that management determines the Company would not be able to realize all or part of the net deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would be charged to
income in the period such determination was made. As of July 4, 2009, the Company had recorded a valuation allowance of $0.6 million against certain state income tax net operating loss carry forwards because the Company has determined that it
is more likely than not that this portion of these deferred tax assets will not be realized. However, due to the inherent uncertainty involved in determining the realizability of the companys deferred tax assets, the future realizability could
differ from management estimates at July 4, 2009.

IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statementsan amendment of ARB No. 51, (SFAS 160). SFAS 160 amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial
Statements, to establish accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The
Company adopted SFAS 160 as of January 4, 2009 and it had no impact on the Financial Statements. SFAS 160 could have an impact in future periods if the Company were to enter into a transaction with a non-controlling interest.

In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) 157-2, which delays the effective date of SFAS 157 for non-financial assets
and liabilities that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company adopted FSP 157-2 early on January 4, 2009 with no material impact.

In April 2008 the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets, (FSP FAS
142-3). FSP FAS 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets, in order to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS 141(R) and other GAAP. FSP FAS
142-3 became effective for MDS on January 4, 2009. FSP FAS142-3 requires prospective adoption and therefore had no impact on the Financial Statements.

In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions are Participating Securities (FSP
EITF 03-6-1). FSP EITF 03-6-1 clarifies that unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and are to be included in the
computation of earnings per share under the two-class method described in SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share. This FSP was effective for MDS on January 4, 2009 and requires all prior-period earnings per share data that is
presented to be adjusted retrospectively. Specifically, the adoption of FSP EITF 03-6-1 required MDS to include incremental shares in the first quarter of both fiscal 2009 and 2008 Basic Earnings Per Share calculation of 375,000 and 240,000 shares,
respectively. These incremental shares did not impact the Basic Earnings Per Share in the second quarter of either fiscal 2009 or 2008 but did cause a $0.01 decrease in Basic Earnings Per Share for the six months ended fiscal June in both fiscal
2009 and 2008.



23



---

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 157-4 (FSP FAS 157-4), Determining Fair
Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability has Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly and FSP No. FAS 115-2 (FSP FAS 115-2), Recognition and Presentation of
Other-Than-Temporary Impairments. These two FSPs were issued to provide additional guidance about (1) measuring the fair value of financial instruments when the markets become inactive and quoted prices may reflect distressed
transactions, and (2) recording impairment charges on investments in debt instruments. Additionally, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 107-1 (FSP FAS 107-1), Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,
to require disclosures of fair value of certain financial instruments in interim financial statements. We do not anticipate the adoption of these FSPs will materially impact the Company. These FSPs are effective for financial statements
issued for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB
28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, (FSP FAS 107-1/APB 28-1). FSP FAS 107-1/APB 28-1 requires a publicly traded company to include disclosures about the fair value of its financial instruments
whenever it issues summarized financial information for interim reporting periods. Such disclosures include the fair value of all financial instruments, for which it is practicable to estimate that value, whether recognized or not recognized in the
statement of financial position; the related carrying amount of these financial instruments; and the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value. Other than the required disclosures, the adoption of FSP FAS 107-1/APB 28-1
had no impact on the Financial Statements.

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events, (SFAS
165). SFAS 165 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. Specifically, SFAS 165 sets forth the
period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity
should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. The adoption of SFAS
165 had no impact on the Financial Statements as management already followed a similar approach prior to the adoption of this standard.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTMand the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principlesa replacement of FASB Statement No. 162, (SFAS 168). SFAS 168 replaces SFAS No. 162, The
Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, and establishes the FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM(Codification) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in
conformity with GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The FASB will no longer issue
new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts; instead the FASB will issue Accounting Standards Updates. Accounting Standards Updates will not be authoritative in their own right as they will
only serve to update the Codification. The issuance of SFAS 168 and the Codification does not change GAAP. SFAS 168 becomes effective for the Company for the third fiscal quarter ending October 3, 2009. Management has determined that the
adoption of SFAS 168 will not have an impact on the Financial Statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167,
Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), (SFAS 167). SFAS 167 amends FASB Interpretation No. 46 (Revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entitiesan interpretation of ARB
No. 51, (FIN 46(R)) to require an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine whether the enterprises variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity; to require ongoing
reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity; to eliminate the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity; to add an additional
reconsideration event for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity when any changes in facts and circumstances occur such that holders of the equity investment at risk, as a group, lose the power from voting rights or similar
rights of those investments to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entitys economic performance; and to require enhanced disclosures that will provide users of financial statements with more transparent
information about an enterprises involvement in a variable interest entity. SFAS 167 becomes effective for the Company on January 2, 2010. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of SFAS 167 on the Financial Statements.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This
report contains (and oral communications made by MDS may contain) forward-looking statements that may be identified by their use of words like plans, expects, anticipates, intends,
estimates, forecasts, will, outlook should or other words of similar meaning. All statements that address the Companys expectations or projections about the future, including



24



---

statements about MDSs strategy for growth, cost reduction goals, expenditures and financial results, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements are based on the Companys estimates, assumptions and expectations of future events and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. MDS cannot guarantee that these estimates, assumptions and expectations are accurate or will
be realized. MDS disclaims any intention or obligation (other than as required by law) to update or revise any forward-looking statements.

The Companys results of operations and the forward-looking statements could be affected by, among others things: general economic conditions in the markets in which the Company operates; economic developments that have a particularly
adverse effect on one or more of the markets served by the Company; the ability to execute managements internal operating plans; the timing and magnitude of capital expenditures; the Companys ability to access debt and equity markets;
economic and market conditions in the U.S. and worldwide; currency exchange rates; changes in consumer spending levels and demand for new products and services; and overall competitive activities. Certain of these risks are more fully described in
Item 1A of Part I of the Companys annual report on Form 10-K. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.



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

The Company is subject to certain market risks, including foreign currency and interest rates. MDS uses a variety of practices to manage these market risks, including, when considered appropriate, derivative financial instruments. The
Company uses derivative financial instruments only for risk management and does not use them for trading or speculative purposes. MDS is exposed to potential gains or losses from foreign currency fluctuations affecting net investments and earnings
denominated in foreign currencies. Historically, the Companys primary exposure is to changes in exchange rates for the U.S. dollar versus the Canadian dollar. Beginning in fiscal 2008, the Company became exposed to changes in exchange rates
between the U.S. dollar and the Euro for international license fees from Europe that were previously fixed and denominated in U.S. dollars.

Interest rate risk is managed through variable rate borrowings in combination with swaps to fixed interest rates on a portion of those borrowings. The Company is exposed to credit risk on certain assets, primarily accounts receivable. The
Company provides credit to customers in the ordinary course of business and performs ongoing credit evaluations. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited due to the large number of customers comprising the
Companys customer base. The Company believes its allowance for doubtful accounts is sufficient to cover customer credit risk.

In
November 2005, $20 million in senior bank debt was converted from floating rate to fixed rate by locking-in LIBOR at 4.89% for a five year period. In addition, in March 2007, MDS entered into an interest rate swap arrangement to convert an
additional $25 million in senior bank debt from floating rate to a fixed rate by locking-in LIBOR at 4.91% for the remaining term of the Companys bank agreement (October 2010). This swap effectively replaced a declining balance swap that
expired in March 2007 under which LIBOR was locked-in at 2.76% for a three-year term. As a consequence, currently $45 million of the Companys $81.9 million in senior bank debt is at fixed rates.

Both the November 2005 and March 2007 swap arrangements have been designated as cash flow hedges and have been evaluated to be highly effective. As a
result, the after-tax change in the fair value of these swaps is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income as a gain or loss on derivative financial instruments. As of July 4, 2009, the fair value of these instruments was a pre-tax
loss of approximately $2.4 million.

Market risk also arises within the Companys defined benefit plans to the extent that the
obligations of the plans are not fully matched by assets. Pension plan obligations are subject to change due to fluctuations in long-term interest rates as well as factors such as inflation, salary increases and plan members living longer. The
pension plan assets include equity and debt securities, the values of which will change as equity prices and interest rates vary. Changes in equity prices and interest rates could result in plan assets which are insufficient over time to cover the
level of projected obligations. This could result in material changes to the Companys pension expense and impact the level of contributions to the plans in the future.

|Item 4. | Controls and Procedures.
|------- | ------------------------

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and
procedures.

The Companys management, with the participation of the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) as of
the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Companys disclosure controls and procedures
were effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act.

The Companys management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that its disclosure controls and
procedures and its internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control
system are met.

(b) Changes in internal controls over financial reporting.

There were no changes in internal controls during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal controls over financial
reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION



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

On June 12, 2009, the Company
received a Notice of Arbitration from MESA S.p.A. (MESA) and Norauto Groupe SA (Norauto). MESA is an Italian company which operates the Midas system in Europe under a License Agreement and an Agreement of Strategic Alliance
(the 1998 Agreements) with the Company. Norauto is a French company that acquired MESA from the Fiat Group in October 2004.

Background

Until 1998, the Company directly owned and managed its network of franchised and company-operated Midas shops
throughout the world. In 1998, the Company reached an agreement with Magneti Marelli, S.p.A. (Marelli), a member of the Fiat Group, to form a strategic alliance to accelerate the development of the Midas system in Europe and South
America. Midas management concluded that Marelli had the financial and human resources to accelerate the development of the Midas business in Europe and South America at a much faster pace than the Company. Accordingly, the Company sold its
interests in Europe and South America (Midas Europe) to Marelli for $100 million in October 1998, and entered into a licensing agreement for the Midas trademarks as part of the transaction.

In October 2004, Norauto acquired Magneti Marelli Services S.p.A. (Marelli Services) from the Fiat Group. Marelli Services was a newly-formed
subsidiary of Fiat that was created to own the Midas Europe business that was purchased from the Company in 1998. Upon acquisition by Norauto in October 2004, Marelli Services was renamed MESA S.p.A. by Norauto.

The license agreement with Marelli (and now with MESA) provided for fixed U.S. dollar denominated royalty payments of approximately $9 million per year
through 2007. Effective January 1, 2008, the royalty converted to 1% of Midas Europes system-wide retail sales. As a result, the royalty paid to the Company by MESA decreased from approximately $8.9 million in 2007 to approximately $4.4
million in 2008.

Arbitration

Under the terms of the 1998 Agreements, all disputes are to be settled by binding arbitration in Geneva, Switzerland under the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules by a panel of three arbitrators. In demanding arbitration, MESA and Norauto claim that
the Company has breached, and continues to breach, its obligations to cooperate and execute the agreement in good faith by failing to develop and update the performance of the Midas System in Europe and South America. As a result, MESA is asking the
arbitrators to require the Company to pay for damages and losses incurred by MESA and Norauto, including a portion of royalties previously paid to the Company, and the alleged decrease in the value of the MESA business and lost profits because of
MESAs inability to successfully open Midas shops in new countries, in an estimated amount of Euro 74 million.

MESA and Norauto are
also asking the arbitrator to require the Company to renegotiate the terms of the 1998 Agreements currently in effect or to cancel these agreements due to the alleged breach by the Company and require the Company to indemnify MESA and Norauto for
any losses resulting from the termination of these agreements. The Company believes that the claims by MESA and Norauto are without merit and intends to vigorously pursue a defense against these claims.



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

Virtually all of our revenues outside of
North America are derived from the license fees of one licensee. The loss or reduction of these fees due to an adverse change in our relationship with this licensee or in this licensees business would have a material adverse effect on our net
income.

Virtually all of our revenues outside of North America are derived from our master licensee in Europe and South America with
MESA S.p.A. (MESA). MESA is an Italian company which operates the Midas system in Europe under a License Agreement and an Agreement of Strategic Alliance (the 1998 Agreements) with the Company. Norauto, a French company,
acquired MESA from the Fiat Group in October 2004.

On June 12, 2009, the Company received a Notice of Arbitration from MESA and
Norauto. Under the terms of the 1998 Agreements, all disputes are to be settled by binding arbitration in Geneva, Switzerland under the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules by a

panel of three arbitrators. In demanding arbitration, MESA and Norauto claim that the Company has breached, and continues to breach, its obligations to

incurred by MESA and Norauto, including a portion of royalties previously paid to the Company, and the alleged decrease in the value of the MESA business and lost profits because of MESAs inability to successfully open Midas shops in new
countries, in an estimated amount of Euro 74 million.

MESA and Norauto are also asking the arbitrator to require the Company to
renegotiate the terms of the 1998 Agreements currently in effect or to cancel these agreements due to the alleged breach by the Company and require the Company to indemnify MESA and Norauto for any losses resulting from the termination of these
agreements. The Company believes that the claims by MESA and Norauto are without merit and intends to vigorously pursue a defense against these claims.

The loss of the Norauto licensing fees due to an adverse change in our relationship with Norauto or in Norautos business would have a material adverse effect on our net income. In fiscal 2008, MDS realized $4.4
million in international license fee revenue under this agreement. This amount represented 2.4% of consolidated revenue and 20.7% of operating income. This license fee is paid in Euros and varies based upon a percentage of retail sales.
