                                     PART I

ITEM 1.         BUSINESS

BACKGROUND

         Aftermarket Technology Corp. ("ATC") was incorporated under the laws
of Delaware in July 1994 at the direction of Aurora Capital Group to acquire
Aaron's Automotive Products, Inc. ("Aaron's"), H.T.P., Inc. ("HTP"), Mamco
Converters, Inc. ("Mamco") and RPM Merit, Inc. ("RPM"). Aaron's, HTP, Mamco
and RPM as they existed prior to their acquisition by ATC are hereinafter
collectively referred to as the "Predecessor Companies." Subsequent to these
initial acquisitions, the Company acquired Component Remanufacturing
Specialists, Inc., Mascot Truck Parts Inc. ("Mascot") and King-O-Matic
Industries Limited in 1995, Tranzparts, Inc. ("Tranzparts") and Diverco, Inc.
("Diverco") in 1996, Replacement and Exchange Parts Co., Inc. ("REPCO"), ATS
Remanufacturing ("ATS"), Trans Mart, Inc. ("Trans Mart") and the Metran
companies (Metran Automatic Transmission Parts Corp., Metran Boston, Inc. and
Metran Parts of Pennsylvania, Inc.) ("Metran") in 1997, and the OEM Division
("Autocraft") of The Fred Jones Companies, Inc. (formerly known as Autocraft
Industries, Inc.) in March 1998. At the end of 1997, Diverco, HTP, Mamco,
Metran, REPCO, Trans Mart and Tranzparts were merged together to form ATC
Distribution Group, Inc. RPM was merged into ATC Distribution Group, Inc. at
the end of 1998. In February 1999, ATC sold Mascot. During the fourth quarter
of 1999, ATC Distribution Group acquired substantially all the assets of All
Transmission Parts, Inc. and its affiliate, All Automatic Transmission Parts,
Inc. (collectively "All Trans"). ATC conducts all of its operations through
its wholly-owned subsidiaries and each of their respective subsidiaries.
Throughout this Annual Report, except where the context otherwise requires,
the "Company" refers collectively to ATC and its subsidiaries and the
Predecessor Companies.

         On December 20, 1996, ATC consummated an initial public offering of its
Common Stock (the "IPO"). Simultaneous with the consummation of the IPO,
Aftermarket Technology Holdings Corp. ("Holdings"), the sole stockholder of ATC
prior to the IPO, was merged into ATC (the "Reorganization"). Upon the
effectiveness of the Reorganization, each outstanding share of Holdings Common
Stock was converted into one share of ATC Common Stock, and each outstanding
share of Holdings Redeemable Exchangeable Cumulative Preferred Stock was
converted into one share of ATC Redeemable Exchangeable Cumulative Preferred
Stock, which was immediately thereafter redeemed for an amount in cash equal to
$100.00 plus an amount in cash equal to accrued and unpaid dividends on the
Holdings Preferred Stock to the date of the Reorganization.

GENERAL

         The Company is a leading remanufacturer and distributor of drivetrain
products used in the repair of vehicles in the automotive aftermarket. The
Company's principal products include remanufactured transmissions, torque
converters, engines, electronic control modules, instrument and display clusters
and radios, as well as remanufactured and new parts for the repair of automotive
drivetrain assemblies. The Company also provides logistics and material recovery
services. The Company has two reportable segments: the Original Equipment
Manufacturer ("OEM") segment and the Independent Aftermarket segment.

         The first of these segments consists of four operating units (Aaron's,
Autocraft Industries, Autocraft UK and CRS/ATS) that principally sell
factory-approved remanufactured transmissions directly to OEMs primarily for use
as

                                       1

<PAGE>


         replacement parts by their domestic dealers during the warranty and
post-warranty periods following the sale of a vehicle. The principal customers
for these transmissions are DaimlerChrysler Corporation, Ford Motor Company,
General Motors Corporation and certain foreign OEMs. In addition, the OEM
segment sells select remanufactured engines to DaimlerChrysler and certain
European OEMs (including Ford's European operations), as well as remanufactured
foreign and domestic engines to general repair shops and retail automotive parts
stores.

         The Company's Independent Aftermarket segment (the ATC Distribution
Group) primarily sells transmission repair kits, soft parts, remanufactured
torque converters and transmissions and both new and remanufactured hard parts
used in drivetrain repairs to independent transmission rebuilders for repairs
generally during the period following the expiration of the vehicle warranty. To
a lesser extent, the Distribution Group also sells its products to general
repair shops, wholesale distributors and retail automotive parts stores.

         In addition to the OEM and Independent Aftermarket segments, the
Company has three "other" operating units. These operating units were acquired
in the Autocraft acquisition: Autocraft Electronics, an automotive electronic
parts remanufacturing and distribution business; Logistics Services, a
warehouse, distribution and turnkey order fulfillment and information services
business for AT&T Wireless Services (the cellular telephone subsidiary of AT&T);
and Material Recovery, a material recovery parts processing and Internet-based
auction business primarily for Ford. None of these operating units meet the
quantitative thresholds for determining reportable segments.

         Since its formation, the Company has grown both internally and through
a series of acquisitions at a compound annual revenue growth rate of
approximately 29.1%. The Company believes the key elements of its success are
the quality and breadth of its product offerings and its strong technical
support, rapid delivery time, innovative product development and competitive
pricing. In addition, the Company has benefited from the increasing use of
remanufactured products as the industry recognizes that remanufacturing provides
a higher quality, lower cost alternative to rebuilding the assembly or replacing
it with a new assembly manufactured by an OEM.

         The Company's strategy is to continue to grow both internally and
through strategic acquisitions. The Company intends to expand its business by:
(i) increasing penetration of its current customer base; (ii) gaining new OEM
and Independent Aftermarket customers; and (iii) introducing new products to
both existing and new customers. The Company plans to continue to support these
growth strategies through strategic acquisitions in the future.

         See "Certain Factors Affecting the Company."

REMANUFACTURING

         Remanufacturing is a process through which used assemblies are returned
to a central facility where they are disassembled and their component parts
cleaned, refurbished and tested. The usable component parts are then combined
with new parts in a high volume, precision assembly line or cellular
manufacturing process to create remanufactured assemblies.

         When an assembly such as a transmission or engine fails, there are
generally three alternatives available to return the vehicle to operating
condition. The dealer or independent repair shop may: (i) remove the assembly,
disassemble it into its component pieces, replace worn or broken parts with
remanufactured or new components, and reinstall the assembly in the vehicle
("rebuild"); (ii) replace the assembly with an assembly from a remanufacturer
such as the Company; or (iii) in rare instances, replace the assembly with a new
assembly manufactured by the OEM.

         In its remanufacturing operations, the Company obtains used
transmissions, hard parts, engines and related components, commonly known as
"cores," which are sorted by vehicle make and model and either placed into
immediate production or stored until needed. In the remanufacturing process, the
cores are evaluated and disassembled into their component parts and the
components that can be incorporated into the remanufactured product are cleaned,
refurbished and tested. All components determined not reusable or repairable are
replaced by other remanufactured or new components. Inspection and testing are
conducted at various stages of the remanufacturing process, and each finished
assembly is tested on equipment designed to simulate performance under operating
conditions. After testing, completed products are then packaged for immediate
delivery or shipped to one of the Company's distribution centers.

                                       2

<PAGE>

         The cores used in the Company's remanufacturing process for sale to its
OEM customers are provided primarily by the OEMs. In the case of OEMs other than
DaimlerChrysler, the dealers return cores to the OEM, which then ships them to
the Company. Chrysler cores are sent to the Company through its central core
return center. See "OEM Customers."

         The majority of the cores used in the Company's remanufacturing process
for sale to its non-OEM customers are obtained from customers as trade-ins. The
Company encourages these customers to return cores on a timely basis and charges
customers a supplemental core charge in connection with purchases of engines and
critical hard parts. The customer can satisfy this charge by returning a usable
core or making a cash payment equal to the amount of the supplemental core
charge. If cores are not returned in a timely manner, the Company then must
procure cores through its network of independent core brokers. While core prices
are subject to supply and demand price volatility, the Company believes its
procurement network for cores will provide cores as needed at reasonable prices.

         There are three primary benefits of using remanufactured components
rather than rebuilt or new components in repair of vehicles:


     -   First, costs to the OEM associated with remanufactured assemblies
         generally are 50% less than new or dealer-rebuilt assemblies due to the
         remanufacturer's use of high volume manufacturing techniques and
         salvage methods that enable the remanufacturer to refurbish and reuse a
         high percentage of original components.

     -   Second, remanufactured assemblies are generally of consistent high
         quality due to the precision manufacturing techniques, technical
         upgrades and rigorous inspection and testing procedures employed in
         remanufacturing. The quality of a rebuilt assembly is heavily dependent
         on the skill level of the particular mechanic. In addition, the
         proliferation of transmission and engine designs, the increasing
         complexity of transmissions and engines that incorporate electronic
         components and the shortage of highly trained mechanics qualified to
         rebuild assemblies are leading to what management believes is a trend
         toward the use of remanufactured assemblies for aftermarket repairs.
         For warranty repairs, consistent quality is important to the OEM
         providing the applicable warranty, because once installed, the
         remanufactured product is usually covered by the OEM's warranty for the
         balance of the original warranty period.

     -   Third, replacement of a component with a remanufactured component
         generally takes considerably less time than the time needed to rebuild
         the component, thereby significantly reducing the time the vehicle is
         at the dealer or repair shop and allows the dealer and repair shops to
         increase their volume of business.

         The Company believes that because of this combination of high quality,
low cost and efficiency, the use of remanufactured assemblies for aftermarket
repairs is growing compared to the use of new or rebuilt assemblies. Although
the primary customers for the Company's remanufactured components have
historically been OEMs, the Company expects the Independent Aftermarket to
increase its use of remanufactured components in the future.

ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURER SEGMENT

         The Company's OEM segment consists of four operating units that
remanufacture and sell transmissions directly to automobile manufacturers. In
addition, the OEM segment sells select remanufactured engines to DaimlerChrysler
and certain European OEMs, including Ford's European operations, as well as
remanufactured foreign and domestic engines to general repair shops and retail
automotive parts stores.

         REMANUFACTURED TRANSMISSIONS

         The Company remanufactures factory-approved transmissions for warranty
and post-warranty replacement of transmissions for DaimlerChrysler, Ford,
General Motors and several foreign OEMs, including Hyundai, Mitsubishi, Isuzu,
Subaru and Kia, primarily for their United States dealer networks. The number of
transmission models remanufactured by the Company has been increasing to
accommodate the greater number of models currently used in vehicles manufactured
by the Company's OEM customers.

                                       3

<PAGE>

         REMANUFACTURED ENGINES

         The Company remanufactures select factory-approved engine models for
Chrysler vehicles and through the Autocraft Acquisition also operates a facility
in England that remanufactures factory-approved engines for several European
OEMs, including Jaguar and the European divisions of Ford and General Motors.
These engines are used for warranty and post-warranty replacement. The facility
in England also does assembly and modification of new production engines for
certain of its OEM customers.

         The Company also remanufactures engines for use as post-warranty
replacements in many domestic and foreign passenger cars and light trucks. In
addition, the Company sources remanufactured engines for other foreign passenger
cars and light trucks from independent suppliers. The Company distributes these
engines through a network of 16 local distribution centers located throughout
the eastern half of the United States. Principal customers include general
repair garages and wholesale distributors.

         OEM CUSTOMERS

         The Company's largest OEM segment customer is DaimlerChrysler, to whom
the Company supplies remanufactured transmissions and certain remanufactured
engines for use in Chrysler automobiles and light trucks. As a result of the
Autocraft Acquisition, the Company also provides remanufactured components to
several other OEMs including transmissions to Ford and engines to Jaguar, Land
Rover, Aston Martin and the European divisions of Ford and General Motors. The
Company added General Motors as a transmission customer in July 1997 with the
purchase of ATS and expanded its General Motors business with the Autocraft
Acquisition. Products are sold to each OEM pursuant to supply arrangements for
individual transmission or engine models, which supply arrangements typically
may be terminated by the OEM at any time.

         OEM segment sales accounted for 52.1%, 52.0% and 54.0% of the Company's
1997, 1998 and 1999 revenues, respectively. Sales to DaimlerChrysler accounted
for 32.0%, 18.2% and 20.5% of the Company's revenues in 1997, 1998 and 1999,
respectively, and sales to Ford accounted for 17.1% and 19.2% of the Company's
revenues in 1998 and 1999, respectively. On a pro forma basis, as if the sale of
Mascot and the acquisitions of Autocraft and All Trans had occurred on January
1, 1998, OEM segment sales would have accounted for approximately 51.7% and
52.5% of pro forma 1998 and 1999 revenues, respectively. Sales to
DaimlerChrysler would have accounted for 16.8% and 19.9% of the total pro forma
revenues in 1998 and 1999, respectively, and sales to Ford would have accounted
for 19.0% and 18.6% of the total pro forma revenues in 1998 and 1999,
respectively.

         Over the past 15 years, the Company has developed and maintained strong
relationships at many levels of both the corporate and the factory organizations
of Chrysler (which was merged with Daimler Benz in 1998 to form
DaimlerChrysler). In recognition of the Company's consistently high level of
service and product quality throughout its relationship with DaimlerChrysler, in
each of the seven years prior to and including 1999, the Company has received
the highest award bestowed by Chrysler to its suppliers for which the Company
was eligible. The Company is one of a select group of Chrysler's suppliers to
receive such awards for the seven-year period.

         The Company's facilities that remanufacture transmissions for
DaimlerChrysler, Ford and General Motors, as well as certain of its other OEM
segment facilities, have QS-9000 certification, a complete quality management
system developed for DaimlerChrysler, Ford, General Motors and truck
manufacturers who subscribe to the ISO 9002 quality standards. The system is
designed to help suppliers, such as the Company, develop a quality system that
emphasizes defect prevention and continuous improvement in manufacturing
processes. Certain of the Autocraft facilities have also received Ford's Q1
quality certification.

         DaimlerChrysler began implementing remanufacturing programs for its
Chrysler transmission models in 1986 and selected the Company as its sole
supplier of remanufactured transmissions in 1989. DaimlerChrysler has advised
the Company that, by implementing a remanufacturing program for Chrysler
vehicles, DaimlerChrysler has realized substantial warranty cost savings,
standardized the quality of its dealers' aftermarket repairs and reduced its own
inventory of replacement parts. Currently, the Company provides all
remanufactured front-wheel-drive transmissions purchased by DaimlerChrysler for
use in Chrysler vehicles. In late 1998, the Company commenced production of

                                       4

<PAGE>

remanufactured Chrysler rear-wheel-drive transmissions. The Company presently
does not provide remanufactured transmissions or other components to
DaimlerChrysler's Mercedes Benz division.

         Autocraft began remanufacturing transmissions for Ford in 1989 and for
General Motors in 1985. The Company believes that as a result of the acquisition
of Autocraft, the Company provides approximately 85% of the remanufactured
transmissions purchased by Ford and approximately 30% of the remanufactured
transmissions purchased by General Motors.

INDEPENDENT AFTERMARKET SEGMENT

         The Company's Independent Aftermarket segment primarily sells
transmission repair kits, soft parts, remanufactured torque converters and
transmissions and both new and remanufactured hard parts used in drivetrain
repairs to independent transmission rebuilders throughout the United States
and Canada. To a lesser extent, these products are also sold to general
repair shops, wholesale distributors and retail automotive parts stores.

         The market for parts sales and services for vehicles after their
original purchase has been non-cyclical and has generally experienced steady
growth over the past several years, unlike the market for new vehicle sales.
According to the Automotive Parts & Accessories Association, between 1989 and
1998 (the most recent period for which data is available), estimated
industry-wide revenue for the automobile aftermarket increased from
approximately $104.8 billion to $152.2 billion. This consistent growth is due
principally to the increase in the number of vehicles in operation, the increase
in the average age of vehicles, and the increase in the average number of miles
driven annually per vehicle. The Company competes primarily in the aftermarket
segment for automotive transmissions, engines and other drivetrain related
products, which represents more than $8 billion of the entire automotive
aftermarket.

         PRODUCTS

         Repair kits sold by the Company consist of gaskets, friction plates,
seals, bands, filters, clutch components and other "soft" parts that are used in
rebuilding transmissions for substantially all domestic and most imported
passenger cars and light trucks. Each kit is designed to include substantially
all of the soft parts necessary for rebuilding a particular transmission model.
Due to its high volume of kit sales, the Company maintains a variety of
strategic supply relationships that enable the Company to purchase components
for its kits at prices that the Company believes are more favorable than those
available to its lower volume competitors. The Company also believes that its
remanufacturing capability provides a cost advantage over some of its
competitors who purchase all their parts from suppliers.

         The Company remanufactures torque converters (the coupler between the
transmission and engine) and certain "hard" parts such as planetary gears (speed
regulating devices inside the transmission) and transmission fluid pumps. Many
of the Company's competitors do not distribute as broad a line of hard parts or
remanufacture the hard parts that they distribute. The Company believes these
factors provide it both an availability and cost advantage over many of its
competitors.

         The Company's Independent Aftermarket customers typically require
repair kits, torque converters and hard parts in order to complete a vehicle
repair. For this reason, the Company believes that the breadth of its product
line, which enables a customer to obtain all the parts for a repair job from a
single source, gives the Company a competitive advantage. The Company is one of
the few full-line transmission parts suppliers in the industry.

         INDEPENDENT AFTERMARKET CUSTOMERS

         The Company, through its ATC Distribution Group, supplies transmission
repair kits, soft parts, torque converters and hard parts used in automatic and
manual drive train repairs to independent transmission rebuilders throughout the
United States and Canada. To a lesser extent, the Company also sells to general
repair shops and wholesale distributors. These products are used in the
Independent Aftermarket to rebuild transmissions and other assemblies using
remanufactured and new component parts purchased from a variety of suppliers. In
addition, the Company supplies transmission filter kits to less than 2,000 of
the approximately 40,000 retail automotive parts stores located in the United
States and Canada, which principally sell to "do-it-yourself" customers and
general repair shops.

                                       5

<PAGE>

         As the number of vehicle models has proliferated and repairs have
become increasingly complex, independent transmission rebuilders and general
repair shops have grown more dependent on their suppliers for technical support
and assistance in managing inventory by delivering product on a just-in-time
basis at competitive prices. To address these needs, the Company maintains more
than 50 distribution centers located in metropolitan areas throughout the United
States and Canada from which the Company provides technical support and a wide
range of drivetrain related products that are delivered on a same-day basis by
trucks or delivery service to customers in and around metropolitan areas and on
a next-day basis by overnight carrier to customers in more remote areas. The
Company believes that its distribution system is the most extensive in the
drivetrain segment of the automotive aftermarket and represents a competitive
advantage for the Company relative to its typically smaller, local competitors.
The Company believes there are opportunities for further geographic penetration
in this relatively fragmented market. See "Business Strategy."

         The Company conducts telemarketing that, when coupled with the
Company's next-day delivery strategy to more remote areas, enables the Company
to establish customer relationships in areas that cannot support the costs
associated with setting up and maintaining a distribution center. Additionally,
new customers are developed by the Company's direct sales force operating from
its distribution centers, by advertising in national and local trade
publications, and by participating in various trade shows.

         The Company believes it is well positioned within the highly fragmented
aftermarket for drivetrain products as a result of its extensive product line,
diverse customer base and broad geographic presence, with over 50 local
distribution centers throughout the United States and Canada. The Independent
Aftermarket segment accounted for 45.8%, 38.4% and 35.4% of the Company's
revenues in 1997, 1998 and 1999, respectively.

OTHER OPERATING UNITS

         The Company's other operating units, acquired as part of the Autocraft
acquisition, were determined not to be reportable segments. The other operating
units consist of an automotive electronic parts remanufacturing and distribution
business, a warehouse, distribution and turnkey order fulfillment and
information services business and a material recovery parts processing and
Internet-based auction business.

         Prior to the Autocraft acquisition, the Company's "other" operating
units consisted solely of Mascot, which remanufactured heavy-duty and
medium-duty truck transmissions, differentials and air compressors primarily for
sales to truck dealers in Canada. However, during 1998 the Company decided to
concentrate on the remanufacturing of automobile and light truck drivetrain
components rather than on heavy-duty truck components. For that reason, in
February 1999 the Company sold Mascot to a third party buyer.

         AUTOMOTIVE ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS

         The automotive electronic components operating unit remanufactures
automotive electronic control modules (which manage various engine functions)
for General Motors, remanufactures and distributes radios and instrument and
display clusters for General Motors and Ford, and remanufactures and distributes
cellular telephones and other cellular products (E.G., navigation systems) for
Ford, General Motors, Audi, Jaguar and Volkswagen.

         LOGISTICS SERVICES

         The logistics services operating unit provides centralized warehouse,
distribution and turnkey order fulfillment and information services for AT&T
Wireless Services, the cellular telephone subsidiary of AT&T. As part of this
service, the Company handles all warranty-service exchanges and inventory
tracking for AT&T Wireless Services.

         MATERIAL RECOVERY

         As part of its relationship with Ford, the Company also provides
material recovery services to assist Ford with the management of its dealer
parts inventory. Under this program, Ford dealers send their excess parts
inventory to the Company. The parts are then sorted and disposed of in one of
three ways: useful parts that are needed by other dealers are redistributed;
useful parts that are not needed by other dealers are sold to remanufacturers,
wholesale distributors and

                                       6

<PAGE>

other third parties through an innovative on-line Internet auction process; and
useless parts are scrapped. As a result of the introduction of the materials
recovery program, the number of parts that are scrapped has been significantly
reduced to less than 2%.

BUSINESS STRATEGY

         The Company's strategy is to achieve growth both internally and through
strategic acquisitions. The Company intends to expand its business by: (i)
increasing penetration of its current customer base; (ii) gaining new OEM and
Independent Aftermarket customers; and (iii) introducing new products to both
existing and new customers.

         INCREASING SALES TO EXISTING CUSTOMERS

         OEM CUSTOMERS. The Company intends to increase its business with its
existing OEM customers by working with OEMs to increase dealer utilization of
remanufactured transmissions in both the warranty and post-warranty periods. The
Company is working in tandem with OEMs to highlight to dealers the quality and
cost advantages of using remanufactured assemblies versus rebuilding. In
addition, the post-warranty repair market, which the Company believes is
significantly larger than the OEM dealer warranty repair market, presents a
growth opportunity. Currently, the vast majority of post-warranty repairs are
performed in the Independent Aftermarket rather than at OEM dealers. Given the
relatively low cost and high quality of remanufactured components, OEM dealers
can enhance their cost competitiveness compared to independent service centers
through the increased use of remanufactured components as well as providing end
customers with a high quality product. To the extent that OEM dealers increase
their level of post-warranty repairs, the Company is well positioned to
capitalize on this market growth. The Company has introduced a number of new
transmission models and related drivetrain products in the last several years
for its OEM customers.

         INDEPENDENT AFTERMARKET CUSTOMERS. The Company believes that it
currently supplies approximately 15% of the remanufactured or new drivetrain
component requirements of its independent transmission rebuilder and general
repair shop customers. The Company believes it is well positioned to expand
sales to these customers through common product identification and numbering in
conjunction with a computer network that electronically links its distribution
centers, enabling the Company to offer its full line of products throughout the
entire Distribution Group.

         INTRODUCING NEW PRODUCTS

         OEM CUSTOMERS. The Company believes that OEMs recognize that the use of
remanufactured assemblies provide a high quality, lower cost alternative to
rebuilding damaged assemblies or replacing them with new assemblies. For this
reason, the Company believes that OEMs are interested in working with large,
high quality remanufacturers to reduce the OEMs' warranty costs and increase
their parts sales into the post-warranty aftermarket. The Company continues to
work with its OEM customers to identify additional remanufactured products and
services where the Company can provide value to the OEM. In this way, the
Company believes that it will be able to leverage its customer relationships and
remanufacturing competency. In early 2000, the Company was selected by Ford to
supply remanufactured transmissions for use in Ford's new Focus, which is a
global platform, and to supply a new line of Motorcraft-branded remanufactured
transmissions.

         INDEPENDENT AFTERMARKET CUSTOMERS. The Company believes that its
reputation for high quality products and customer service enables it to leverage
its relationships with existing customers to sell additional products. The
Company monitors sales trends and is in frequent communication with customers
regarding potential new products. The Company has begun to offer complete
remanufactured transmissions for sale to its independent transmission rebuilder
customers. In addition, the Company has begun offering new hard parts such as
planetary gears, sun gears and oversized pump gears. In introducing new
products, the Company focuses on components that are difficult to find and
typically require a high rate of replacement. The acquisition of All Trans in
the fourth quarter of 1999 substantially increased the Company's manual
transmission parts product offering, enabling it for the first time to offer
manual transmission parts throughout the Distribution Group.

         OTHER. The Company also intends to leverage the capability of its
electronics remanufacturing and distribution business by introducing
remanufactured electronic components to some of its other OEM customers.

                                       7

<PAGE>

         ESTABLISHING NEW CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIPS

         OEM CUSTOMERS. The Company believes that opportunities for growth exist
with several foreign OEMs regarding their United States-based remanufacturing
programs. The Company believes that this represents an opportunity for growth
and is currently working to develop programs with certain of these OEMs.

         INDEPENDENT AFTERMARKET CUSTOMERS. The Company believes that its
product mix and distribution network position it to expand its Independent
Aftermarket customer base in two ways. First, through its telemarketing
capability, the Company expects to reach new Independent Aftermarket customers
in non-metropolitan areas. Second, the Company expects to attract additional
Independent Aftermarket customers with its extensive product offering and
technical support capability.

         OTHER. The Company believes that its logistics services business should
be attractive to new customers who recognize that outsourcing this function will
enable them to both focus on their core competencies and have an efficient
product distribution system. The Company also believes that the ability to sell
product via Internet auctions, cost savings and environmental benefits provided
by its material recovery business, will be attractive to other OEMs.

         The foregoing discussion of the Company's business strategy contains
forward-looking statements. See "Forward-Looking Statement Notice."

COMPETITION

         The Company competes in the highly fragmented automobile aftermarket
for transmissions, engines and other drivetrain components, in which the
majority of industry supply comes from small local or regional participants.
Competition is based primarily on product quality, service, delivery, technical
support and price. Many of the Company's competitors operate only in certain
geographic regions with a limited product line. The Company is the largest
participant in the aftermarket for remanufactured drivetrain components, offers
a more complete line of products across a diverse customer base and has a much
broader geographic presence than many of its competitors. As a result, the
Company believes that it is well positioned to enhance its competitive position
by expanding its product line through the development of new products or
acquisition of new businesses as well as by expanding its distribution network
into new geographic markets. Nevertheless, the aftermarket for remanufactured
drivetrain components remains highly competitive.

EMPLOYEES

         As of December 31, 1999, the Company had approximately 5,100 full-time
employees. The Company believes its employee and labor relations are good. The
Company has never experienced any work stoppage and none of its employees are
members of any labor union.

ENVIRONMENTAL

         The Company is subject to various evolving Federal, state, local and
foreign environmental laws and regulations governing, among other things,
emissions to air, discharge to waters and the generation, handling, storage,
transportation, treatment and disposal of a variety of hazardous and
nonhazardous substances and wastes. These laws and regulations provide for
substantial fines and criminal sanctions for violations and impose liability for
the costs of cleaning up, and certain damages resulting from, past spills,
disposals or other releases of hazardous substances.

         In connection with its acquisitions, the Company conducted certain
investigations of the acquired companies' facilities and their compliance with
applicable environmental laws. The investigations, which included "Phase I"
assessments by independent consultants of all manufacturing and certain
distribution facilities, found that certain facilities have had or may have had
releases of hazardous materials that may require remediation and also may be
subject to potential liabilities for contamination from off-site disposal of
substances or wastes. These assessments also found that certain reporting and
other regulatory requirements, including certain waste management procedures,
were not or may not have been satisfied. Although there can be no assurance, the
Company believes that, based in part on the

                                       8

<PAGE>

investigations conducted, in part on certain remediation completed prior to the
acquisitions, and in part on the indemnification provisions of the agreements
entered into in connection with the Company's acquisitions, the Company will not
incur any material liabilities relating to these matters.

         The company from which RPM acquired its assets (the "Prior RPM
Company") has been identified by the United States Environmental Protection
Agency (the "EPA") as one of many potentially responsible parties for
environmental liabilities associated with a "Superfund" site located in the area
of RPM's former manufacturing facilities and current distribution facility in
Azusa, California. The Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended ("CERCLA" or "Superfund"),
provides for cleanup of sites from which there has been a release or threatened
release of hazardous substances, and authorizes recovery of related response
costs and certain other damages from potentially responsible parties ("PRPs").
PRPs are broadly defined under CERCLA, and generally include present owners and
operators of a site and certain past owners and operators. As a general rule,
courts have interpreted CERCLA to impose strict, joint and several liability
upon all persons liable for cleanup costs. As a practical matter, however, at
sites where there are multiple PRPs, the costs of cleanup typically are
allocated among the PRPs according to a volumetric or other standard. The EPA
has preliminarily estimated that it will cost approximately $47 million to
construct and approximately $4 million per year for an indefinite period to
operate an interim remedial groundwater pumping and treatment system for the
part of the Superfund site within which RPM's former manufacturing facilities
and current distribution facility, as well as those of many other potentially
responsible parties, are located. The actual cost of this remedial action could
vary substantially from this estimate, and additional costs associated with the
Superfund site are likely to be assessed. The Company has significantly reduced
its presence at the site and has moved all manufacturing operations off-site.
Since July 1995, the Company's only real property interest in this site has been
the lease of a 6,000 square-foot storage and distribution facility. The RPM
acquisition agreement and the leases pursuant to which the Company leased RPM's
facilities after the Company acquired the assets of RPM (the "RPM Acquisition")
expressly provide that the Company did not assume any liabilities for
environmental conditions existing on or before the RPM Acquisition, although the
Company could become responsible for these liabilities under various legal
theories. The Company is indemnified against any such liabilities by the seller
of RPM as well as the Prior RPM Company shareholders. There can be no assurance,
however, that the Company would be able to make any recovery under any
indemnification provisions. Since the RPM Acquisition, the Company has been
engaged in negotiations with the EPA to settle any liability that it may have
for this site. Although there can be no assurance, the Company believes that it
will not incur any material liability as a result of these environmental
conditions.

CERTAIN FACTORS AFFECTING THE COMPANY

         Set forth below are certain factors that may affect the Company's
business:

         DEPENDENCE ON SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS

         The Company's largest customer, DaimlerChrysler, accounted for
approximately 32.0%, 18.2% and 20.5% of the Company's net sales for 1997, 1998
and 1999, respectively. Ford accounted for 17.1% and 19.2% of net sales in 1998
and 1999, respectively. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of the
Company's net sales during any of these years.

         DaimlerChrysler and Ford, like other North American OEMs, generally
require their dealers using remanufactured products to use only those from
approved suppliers. Although the Company is currently the only factory-approved
supplier of remanufactured transmissions for Chrysler vehicles and one of two
suppliers to Ford, DaimlerChrysler and Ford (like the Company's other OEM
customers) are not obligated to continue to purchase the Company's products and
there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain or increase
the level of its sales to them or that they will not approve other suppliers in
the future. In addition, within the last four years the standard new vehicle
warranty for Chrysler vehicles was reduced from seven years/70,000 miles to
three years/36,000 miles and a shorter warranty could be implemented in the
future. Any such action could have the effect of reducing the amount of warranty
work performed by Chrysler dealers. An extended, substantial decrease in orders
from DaimlerChrysler or Ford would have a material adverse effect on the
Company. See "Customers--OEM Customers."

                                       9

<PAGE>

         SHORTAGE OF TRANSMISSION CORES AND COMPONENT PARTS

         In its remanufacturing operations, the Company obtains used
transmissions, hard parts, engines and related components, commonly known as
"cores," which are sorted and either placed into immediate production or stored
until needed. The majority of the cores remanufactured by the Company are
obtained from OEMs or from Independent Aftermarket customers as trade-ins. The
ability to obtain cores of the types and in the quantities required by the
Company is critical to the Company's ability to meet demand and expand
production. With the increased acceptance in the aftermarket of remanufactured
assemblies, the demand for cores has increased. The Company periodically has
experienced situations in which the inability to obtain sufficient cores has
limited its ability to accept all of the orders available to it. There can be no
assurance that the Company will not experience core shortages in the future. If
the Company were to experience such a shortage for an extended period of time,
it could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

         Certain component parts required in the Company's OEM transmission
remanufacturing process are manufactured by the Company's OEM customers. The
Company has experienced shortages of such component parts from time to time in
the past, and future shortages could have a material adverse effect on the
Company.

         ABILITY TO ACHIEVE AND MANAGE GROWTH

         An important element in the Company's growth strategy is the
acquisition and integration of complementary businesses in order to broaden
product offerings, capture market share and improve profitability. There can be
no assurance that the Company will be able to identify or reach mutually
agreeable terms with acquisition candidates, or that the Company will be able to
manage additional businesses profitably or successfully integrate such
additional businesses into the Company without substantial costs, delays or
other problems. Acquisitions may involve a number of special risks, including:
initial reductions in the Company's reported operating results; diversion of
management's attention; unanticipated problems or legal liabilities; and a
possible reduction in reported earnings due to amortization of acquired
intangible assets in the event that such acquisitions are made at levels that
exceed the fair market value of net tangible assets. Some or all of these items
could have a material adverse effect on the Company. There can be no assurance
that businesses acquired in the future will achieve sales and profitability that
justify the investment therein. In addition, to the extent that consolidation
becomes more prevalent in the industry, the prices for attractive acquisition
candidates may increase to unacceptable levels. See "Business Strategy."

         The Company's Distribution Group, which serves the Independent
Aftermarket, is composed of what were ten separate businesses, each with its own
independent distribution, planning and accounting system that did not work with
the systems of the other Distribution Group businesses. In furtherance of the
Company's business strategy to integrate these ten businesses into the ATC
Distribution Group, the Company began replacing these systems with an
enterprise-wide information system. However, as a result of system complexities
and unanticipated issues relating to the conversion of data from the old systems
to the new system, the business disruption experienced by the Distribution Group
was greater than originally anticipated. As a result of these problems, the cost
and the timing of the system implementation exceeded the Company's plan. The
Company resolved the majority of these problems by the end of 1999.

         INDEBTEDNESS AND LIQUIDITY

         The Company had outstanding long-term indebtedness of $308.5 million at
December 31, 1999. The level of the Company's consolidated indebtedness could
have important consequences, including the following: (i) a substantial portion
of the Company's cash flow from operations must be dedicated to the payment of
principal of, and interest on, its indebtedness and will not be available for
other purposes; (ii) the ability of the Company to obtain financing in the
future for working capital needs, capital expenditures, acquisitions,
investments, general corporate purposes or other purposes may be materially
limited or impaired; (iii) the Company's level of indebtedness may reduce its
flexibility to respond to changing business and economic conditions or take
advantage of business opportunities that may arise; and (iv) the ability of the
Company to pay dividends is restricted. See Item 5. "Market for Registrant's
Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters." In addition, the Company's bank
credit agreement contains covenants that (i) require the Company to meet certain
financial ratios and (ii) limit the Company's ability to, among other things,
incur indebtedness,

                                       10

<PAGE>

make capital expenditures, make investments, engage in mergers and dispose of
assets. The indenture that governs the Company's 12% Senior Subordinated Notes
due 2004 (the "Senior Notes") contains, among other things, a covenant that
limits the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness. Any default by
the Company with respect to such covenants, or any inability on the part of the
Company to obtain necessary liquidity, could have a material adverse effect on
the Company. See Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources."

         ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

         The Company is subject to various evolving federal, state, local and
foreign environmental laws and regulations governing, among other things,
emissions to air, discharge to waters and the generation, handling, storage,
transportation, treatment and disposal of a variety of hazardous and
non-hazardous substances and wastes. These laws and regulations provide for
substantial fines and criminal sanctions for violations and impose liability for
the costs of cleaning up, and certain damages resulting from, past spills,
disposals or other releases of hazardous substances. In connection with its
acquisitions, the Company conducted certain investigations of the acquired
companies' facilities and their compliance with applicable environmental laws.
These investigations found various environmental matters and conditions that
could, under certain circumstances, expose the Company to liability.
Furthermore, the company from which RPM acquired its assets has been identified
by the United States Environmental Protection Agency as one of the many
potentially responsible parties for environmental liabilities associated with a
"Superfund" site located in the area of RPM's former manufacturing facilities
and one of its current distribution facilities. Although no assurances can be
given, the Company believes that it will not incur any material liabilities
relating to these matters. See "Environmental Matters."

         COMPETITION

         The automotive aftermarket for transmissions, engines and other
drivetrain products is highly fragmented and highly competitive. There can be no
assurance that the Company will compete successfully with other companies in its
industry segment, some of which are larger than the Company and have greater
financial and other resources available to them than does the Company. See
"Competition."

         CONTROL OF THE COMPANY; ANTI-TAKEOVER MATTERS

         The Company is controlled by Aurora Equity Partners L.P. and Aurora
Overseas Equity Partners I, L.P. (collectively, the "Aurora Partnerships"),
which hold approximately 63% of the voting power in the Company (through direct
ownership and certain voting arrangements). Therefore, the Aurora Partnerships
will be able to elect all of the directors of the Company and approve or
disapprove any matter submitted to a vote of the Company's stockholders. As a
result of the Aurora Partnerships' substantial ownership interest in the Common
Stock, it may be more difficult for a third party to acquire the Company. A
potential buyer would likely be deterred from any effort to acquire the Company
absent the consent of the Aurora Partnerships or their participation in the
transaction. The general partner of each of the Aurora Partnerships is
controlled by Richard R. Crowell, Gerald L. Parsky and Richard K. Roeder, each
of whom is a director of the Company. The Indentures governing the Senior Notes
contain provisions that would allow a holder to require the Company to
repurchase such holder's Senior Notes at a cash price equal to 101% of the
principal amount thereof, together with accrued interest, upon the occurrence of
a "change of control" of the Company (as defined therein), which could also have
the effect of discouraging a third party from acquiring the Company. See Item
12. "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management."

         In addition, the Company's Board of Directors is authorized, subject to
certain limitations prescribed by law, to issue up to 2,000,000 shares of
preferred stock in one or more classes or series and to fix the designations,
powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions,
including voting rights, of those shares without any further vote or action by
stockholders. The rights of the holders of Common Stock will be subject to, and
may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any preferred stock
that may be issued in the future. The issuance of preferred stock, while
providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other
corporate transactions, could have the effect of making it more difficult for a
third party to acquire a majority of the outstanding voting stock of the
Company. The Company has no current plans to issue shares of preferred stock.

</TABLE>

         The Company distributes transmission repair kits, soft parts, torque
converters and drive train hard parts and/or engines to non-OEM customers
through 61 local and six regional distribution centers in the United States and
Canada, all of which are leased. The local distribution centers generally range
in size from 5,000 to 20,000 square feet and are typically leased for five-year
terms with a portion of the leases expiring every year. The regional
distribution centers range in size from 14,000 to 168,000 square feet and have
lease expiration dates at various times through 2012. The Company also leases
two facilities for its All Trans operations, which leases expire in 2004 and
2005.

         The Company leases a 220,000 square foot facility and a 108,000 square
foot facility in Fort Worth, Texas from which it distributes cellular telephones
and accessories for AT&T Wireless Services. These leases expire in 2008 and
2005, respectively.

         The Company also leases assorted warehouses and space for its corporate
offices and computer services.

         The Company believes that its current manufacturing facilities and
distribution centers are adequate for the current level of the Company's
activities. The Company's manufacturing sites have the flexibility to add both
additional shifts and production workers needed to accommodate additional demand
for products and services. However, in the event the Company were to experience
a material increase in sales, the Company may require additional manufacturing
facilities. The Company believes such additional facilities are readily
available on a timely basis on commercially reasonable terms. Further, the
Company believes that the leased space housing its existing manufacturing and
distribution facilities is not unique and could be readily replaced, if
necessary, at the end of the terms of its existing leases on commercially
reasonable terms. Historically, the Company has been able to renew leases or
find alternate space upon the expiration of its leases without material
interruption in the subject facilities' operations. Many of the Company's leases
are renewable at the option of the Company.

ITEM 3.         LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         From time to time, the Company has been and is involved in various
legal proceedings. Management believes that all of such litigation is routine in
nature and incidental to the conduct of its business, and that none of such
litigation, if determined adversely to the Company, would have a material
adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on the Company.

         On February 29, 2000, the last sale price of the Common Stock, as
reported by Nasdaq, was 11 3/4 per share.

         The Company has not paid cash dividends on its Common Stock to date.
Because the Company currently intends to retain any earnings to provide funds
for the operation and expansion of its business and for the servicing and
repayment of indebtedness, the Company does not intend to pay cash dividends
on its Common Stock in the foreseeable future. Furthermore, as a holding
company with no independent operations, the ability of the Company to pay
cash dividends is dependent upon the receipt of dividends or other payments
from its subsidiaries. Under the terms of the Indentures governing the Senior
Notes, the Company is not permitted to pay any dividends on its Common Stock
unless certain financial ratio tests are satisfied. In addition, the
agreement for the Company's bank credit facility contains certain covenants
that, among other things, prohibit the payment of dividends by the Company.
See Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources." Any determination to
pay cash dividends on the Common Stock in the future will be at the sole
discretion of the Company's Board of Directors.

         During 1999, the Company did not issue any securities that were not
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

ITEM 7.         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company and notes thereto included
elsewhere in this Annual Report. See Item 8. "Consolidated Financial Statements
and Supplementary Data."

         Readers are cautioned that the following discussion contains certain
forward-looking statements and should be read in conjunction with the
"Forward-Looking Statement Notice" appearing at the beginning of this Annual
Report.

OVERVIEW

         The Company's revenues are generated primarily through the sale of
drivetrain products used in the repair of vehicles in the automotive
aftermarket. Since its formation, the Company has benefited from a combination
of internal and acquisition-related revenue growth, achieving compounded annual
growth in revenue of approximately 31.2% from 1995 through 1999.

         From 1995 through 1999, the Company's revenues in the OEM segment
increased by 29.8% compounded annually from $107.6 million to $305.1 million due
primarily to increased sales to existing customers, including DaimlerChrysler,
combined with new customers, including Ford and General Motors, added through
acquisitions. During the same period, revenues in the Independent Aftermarket
segment increased by 26.0% compounded annually from $79.5 million to $200.1
million. This growth was due to a combination of acquisitions, geographic
expansion, an expanded product offering, effective sales efforts and the
development of new customers.

         The Company regularly evaluates strategic acquisition opportunities and
expects it will continue to do so in the future. During the first quarter of
1998, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Autocraft, the OEM
Division of The Fred Jones Companies, Inc. During the fourth quarter of 1999,
the Company acquired substantially all of the assets All Trans. See Item 1.
"Business."

         During 1998 and 1999 the Company recorded special charges of $8.7
million and $13.8 million, respectively, primarily related to certain
initiatives designed to improve operating efficiencies and reduce costs. See
"Results of Operations" for a complete discussion of these charges. In addition,
in 1998 the Company recorded charges for non-recurring costs totaling $21.4
million. As previously disclosed, the Company believes that these charges were
one-time in nature due to the application of new information and estimation
methodologies.

         Income from operations before special charges and nonrecurring expenses
was $42.4 million and $51.2 million for the years ended December 31, 1998 and
1999, respectively. Excluding special charges, nonrecurring expenses and
extraordinary items, net income was $11.0 million or $0.52 per diluted share in
1998 compared to $14.8 million or $0.70 per diluted share in 1999.

         The primary components of the Company's cost of goods sold are the cost
of cores and component parts, labor costs and overhead. While certain of these
costs have fluctuated as a percentage of sales over time, cost of goods sold as
a percentage of sales remained relatively constant from 1995 through 1997, at
approximately 61.0%. In 1998, cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales,
before $12.7 million of non-recurring costs and $1.3 million of special charges,
increased to 69.0% and in 1999 was 67.8% before $4.9 million of special charges.
The change in cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales from 1995 to 1999
is due primarily to changes in mix within the OEM segment and costs related to
the Independent Aftermarket segment's enterprise-wide information system.

         Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses consist primarily
of salaries, commissions, rent, marketing expenses and other management
infrastructure expenses. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales increased
from 20.4% in 1995 to 21.8% in 1999. This increase was principally


                                       16
<PAGE>


due to growth in the Logistics Services business unit and to growth in the OEM
segment's remanufactured engine program, primarily due to the expansion of its
branch sales channel, combined with enhancements to the Company's management and
systems infrastructure.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The following table sets forth certain financial statement data
expressed in millions of dollars and as a percentage of net sales.

</TABLE>

         The Company has two reportable segments: the OEM segment and the
Independent Aftermarket segment. The OEM segment consists of four operating
units that sell remanufactured transmissions directly to automobile
manufacturers, principally DaimlerChrysler, Ford, General Motors and several
foreign OEMs, primarily for use as replacement parts by their domestic dealers
during the warranty and post-warranty periods following the sale of a vehicle.
In addition, the OEM segment sells select remanufactured engines to
DaimlerChrysler and certain European OEMs, including Ford's European operation,
as well as remanufactured domestic and foreign engines to general repair shops
and retail automotive parts stores. The Company's Independent Aftermarket
segment primarily sells transmission repair kits, soft parts, remanufactured
torque converters and new and remanufactured hard parts used in drivetrain
repairs to independent transmission rebuilders for repairs generally during the
period following the expiration of the vehicle warranty. To a lesser extent, the
Independent Aftermarket segment also sells its products to general repair shops,
wholesale distributors and retail automotive parts stores. In addition to the
OEM and Independent Aftermarket segments, the Company has three other operating
units reflected as "Other" due to their relative size, all of which were
acquired in the Autocraft acquisition: an automotive electronic parts
remanufacturing and distribution business; warehouse, distribution and turnkey
order fulfillment and information services for AT&T Wireless Services; and a
material recovery parts processing and Internet-based auction business primarily
for Ford. None of these operating units meet the quantitative thresholds for
determining reportable segments. See Item 8. "Consolidated Financial Statements
and Supplementary Data-Note 17."

         YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998

         Income (loss) before extraordinary items increased $13.9 million, from
a loss of $7.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1998, to income of $6.8
million for the year ended December 31, 1999. During 1998 and 1999, the Company
recorded pre-tax special charges of $8.7 million and $13.8 million,
respectively, related to certain initiatives designed to improve operating
efficiencies and reduce costs (see "Special Charges" below). In addition, during
1998, the Company recorded pre-tax charges for non-recurring costs totaling
$21.4 million. Excluding these non-recurring costs and special charges, income


                                       17
<PAGE>

before extraordinary items would have increased $3.8 million, or 34.5%, from
$11.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1998, to $14.8 million for the
year ended December 31, 1999. This increase was primarily attributable to
increases in profitability in the Company's OEM segment and "Other" business
units, partially offset by a decline in profitability in the Company's
Independent Aftermarket segment during 1999 as compared to 1998. On a per share
basis, income (loss) before extraordinary items increased from a loss of $0.36
per share in 1998 to net income per diluted share of $0.32 in 1999. Excluding
special charges and non-recurring expense, income before extraordinary items per
diluted share increased from $0.52 for the year ended December 31, 1998 to $0.70
for the year ended December 31, 1999.

         NET SALES. Net sales increased $78.2 million, or 16.1%, from $486.8
million in 1998 to $565.0 million in 1999. This increase is partially
attributable to the full-year benefit of sales from Autocraft, which was
acquired in March 1998, and to the acquisition of All Trans, completed during
the fourth quarter of 1999. On a pro forma basis, as if the February 1999 sale
of Mascot, and the acquisitions of Autocraft and All Trans had all taken place
on January 1, 1998, net sales would have increased $54.5 million, or 10.3%, from
$526.8 million in 1998 to $581.3 million in 1999. This increase in sales, on a
pro forma basis, was primarily attributable to increased sales in the Company's
OEM and Independent Aftermarket segments combined with increased sales in its
Logistics Services and Material Recovery business units.

         GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit increased $40.2 million, or 29.3%, from
$137.0 million in 1998 to $177.2 million in 1999. Excluding non-recurring costs
of $12.7 million recorded in 1998 and special charges of $1.3 million and $4.9
million recorded in 1998 and 1999, respectively, gross profit increased $31.1
million during 1999 as compared to 1998. As a percentage of net sales, gross
profit before non-recurring costs and special charges increased from 31.0% to
32.2% between the two periods. The increase in gross profit was principally due
to the increased sales in the OEM segment and Logistics Services business unit,
partially offset by a decline in gross profit experienced in the Independent
Aftermarket segment.

         SG&A EXPENSES. SG&A expenses increased $14.0 million, or 12.8%, from
$109.4 million in 1998 to $123.4 million in 1999. Excluding non-recurring costs
of $7.5 million recorded in 1998, SG&A expenses increased $21.5 million during
1999 as compared to 1998 and as a percentage of net sales increased from 20.9%
to 21.8% between the two periods. This increase was due primarily to (i) $7.7
million related to the OEM segment's remanufactured engine program primarily
associated with the expansion of its branch sales channel and increased warranty
costs, (ii) $6.2 million of additional infrastructure costs related to the
Independent Aftermarket segment's enterprise-wide information system, (iii) $4.2
million in the Logistics Services business unit primarily related to sales
volume growth and systems enhancements, (iv) $4.2 million primarily associated
with the Company's business improvement initiatives, including travel,
recruitment and professional service costs and (v) $2.9 million of additional
cost due to a full year of SG&A cost from Autocraft, partially offset by an SG&A
cost reduction of $1.9 million as a result of the sale of Mascot.

         AMORTIZATION OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS. Amortization of intangible assets
increased $0.6 million, or 8.8%, from $6.8 million in 1998 to $7.4 million in
1999. The increase is primarily attributable to a full year of amortization for
the Autocraft acquisition and the acquisition of All Trans during the fourth
quarter of 1999.

         SPECIAL CHARGES. During 1999, the Company recorded $13.8 million of
special charges, of which $4.9 million was included as a component of cost of
sales. These charges consisted of (i) $6.1 million of costs primarily related to
distribution center, distribution branch and manufacturing plant consolidations
within the Independent Aftermarket segment, (ii) $3.3 million of costs
associated with the narrowing of the remanufactured engine product offering,
(iii) $2.8 million of severance and other costs related to the reorganization of
certain management functions and (iv) $1.6 million of severance, plant exit and
other costs.

                                       18
<PAGE>

         During 1998, the Company recorded $8.7 million of special charges, of
which $1.3 million was included as a component of cost of sales. These charges
consisted of (i) $3.8 million of restructuring charges consisting principally of
employee severance costs and certain other exit costs, (ii) $2.5 million of
costs relating principally to idle facility costs and (iii) $2.4 million related
to a state's interpretation of its tax law that subjected a portion of the OEM
segment's operations over the past four years to a state tax for the first time.

         The Company, as an ongoing part of its planning process, continues to
identify and evaluate areas where cost efficiencies can be achieved through
consolidation of redundant facilities, outsourcing functions or changing
processes or systems. Implementation of any of these could require the Company
to incur special charges, which would be offset over time by the projected cost
savings.

         INCOME FROM OPERATIONS. Principally as a result of the factors
described above, income from operations increased $24.1 million, or 179.9%, from
$13.4 million in 1998 to $37.5 million in 1999. As a percentage of net sales,
income from operations increased from 2.8% to 6.6%, between the two periods.
Excluding non-recurring costs of $20.2 million recorded in 1998 and special
charges of $8.7 million and $13.8 million recorded in 1998 and 1999,
respectively, income from operations increased $9.0 million during 1999 as
compared to 1998. As a percentage of net sales, income from operations before
non-recurring costs and special charges increased from 8.7% to 9.1% between the
two periods.

         INTEREST EXPENSE, NET AND OTHER. Interest expense, net and other
increased $2.8 million, or 11.8%, from $23.7 million in 1998 to $26.5 million in
1999. The increase primarily resulted from a full year of borrowing under the
Company's $120.0 million term loan credit facility in March 1998 to finance the
Autocraft acquisition and increased borrowings under the Company's $100.0
million revolving credit facility in the fourth quarter of 1999 to finance the
All Trans acquisition. These term loan and revolving facilities are referred to
as the "Credit Facility."

         EXTRAORDINARY ITEMS. In 1998, an extraordinary item in the amount of
$0.7 million ($1.2 million before related income tax benefit of $0.5 million)
was recorded. This amount consisted of (i) a $0.4 million charge for the
write-off of previously capitalized debt issuance costs in connection with the
termination of the Company's previous revolving credit facility and (ii) a $0.3
million charge resulting from the repurchase of $9.6 million in principal amount
of the Senior Notes in open market transactions.

         OEM SEGMENT

         The following table presents net sales, special charges and segment
profit expressed in millions of dollars and as a percentage of net sales:

     Segment profit...............$ 23.9    9.4%  $ 50.4    16.5%
</TABLE>

         NET SALES. Net sales increased $52.1 million, or 20.6%, from $253.0
million in 1998 to $305.1 million in 1999. On a pro forma basis, as if the
Autocraft acquisition had taken place on January 1, 1998, net sales would have
increased $32.7 million, or 12.0%, from $272.4 million in 1998 to $305.1 million
in 1999. The increase was primarily due to increased sales of remanufactured
transmissions to DaimlerChrysler and Ford and increased sales of remanufactured
engines through the Company's branch sales channel, partially offset by a
decrease in sales volume of engines and related parts in the segment's European
operations. Sales to DaimlerChrysler accounted for 18.2% and 20.5% of the
Company's revenues (34.9% and

                                       19
<PAGE>

37.9% of segment revenues) in 1998 and 1999, respectively. Sales to Ford
accounted for 17.1% and 19.2% of the Company's revenues (30.5% and 32.5% of
segment revenues) in 1998 and 1999, respectively.

         SPECIAL CHARGES. The OEM segment recorded $4.3 million of special
charges in 1999. These charges consisted of (i) $3.3 million in connection with
the narrowing of its remanufactured engine product offering and (ii) $1.0
million relating to severance and plant exit costs.

         The OEM segment recorded $5.0 million of special charges in 1998. These
charges consisted of (i) $2.6 million in connection with the consolidation of
certain manufacturing plants and (ii) $2.4 million relating to a state's
interpretation of its tax law that subjected a portion of the segment's
operations over the past four years to a state tax for the first time.

         SEGMENT PROFIT. Segment profit increased $26.5 million, or 110.9%, from
$23.9 million (9.4% of OEM net sales) in 1998 to $50.4 million (16.5% of OEM net
sales) in 1999. Excluding special charges of $5.0 million and $4.3 million in
1998 and 1999, respectively, and non-recurring costs of $10.0 million recorded
in 1998, segment profit would have increased $15.8 million, or 40.6%, from $38.9
million (15.4% of segment net sales) in 1998 to $54.7 million (17.9% of segment
net sales) in 1999. The increase was primarily the result of increased sales.

         INDEPENDENT AFTERMARKET SEGMENT

         The following table presents net sales, special charges and segment
loss expressed in millions of dollars and as a percentage of net sales:

    Segment loss.................$(11.6)  (6.2)% $(15.0)   (7.5)%
</TABLE>


         NET SALES. Net sales increased $13.4 million, or 7.2%, from $186.7
million in 1998 to $200.1 million in 1999. On a pro forma basis, as if the All
Trans acquisition had taken place on January 1, 1998, net sales would have
increased $10.6 million, or 5.1%, from $206.5 million in 1998 to $217.1 million
in 1999. This increase was largely attributable to sales from a new line of hard
parts that were introduced after the third quarter of 1998 and to an improvement
from the lower sales volumes experienced during the second half of 1998, which
were caused by customer service and fill rate shortfalls related to
implementation issues associated with the segment's enterprise-wide information
system.

         SPECIAL CHARGES. The Independent Aftermarket segment recorded $6.5
million of special charges in 1999. These charges consisted of (i) $6.1 million
primarily related to distribution center, distribution branch and manufacturing
plant consolidations and (ii) $0.4 million of severance and other costs related
to the reorganization of certain management functions.

         During 1998 the Independent Aftermarket segment recorded $2.1 million
of special charges. These charges consisted of (i) $1.6 million for
restructuring charges, which included severance and certain other exit costs and
(ii) $0.5 million relating to facility consolidation.

         SEGMENT LOSS. Segment loss increased $3.4 million from $11.6 million in
1998 to $15.0 million in 1999. Excluding special charges of $2.1 million and
$6.5 million in 1998 and 1999, respectively, and non-recurring costs of $9.3
million recorded during 1998, segment loss would have increased $8.3 million
from $0.2 million in 1998 to $8.5 million in 1999. This increase in segment loss
was primarily attributable to $6.2 million of additional infrastructure costs
related to the segment's enterprise-wide information system, and $2.4 million of
costs related to the Company's aftermarket remanufactured transmission program.

    Segment profit...............$  4.7   10.0%  $  8.7    14.5%
</TABLE>

         NET SALES. Net sales increased $12.7 million, or 27.0%, from $47.1
million in 1998 to $59.8 million in 1999. On a pro forma basis, as if the
Autocraft acquisition and the sale of Mascot had taken place on January 1, 1998,
net sales would have increased $11.1 million, or 23.1%, from $48.0 million in
1998 to $59.1 million in 1999. This increase was primarily attributable to
increased sales in the Logistics Services business unit due to growth in AT&T's
wireless service business.

         SPECIAL CHARGES. Special charges recorded during 1999 of $0.6 million
relate to exit and other costs in the Electronics business unit.

         SEGMENT PROFIT. Segment profit increased $4.0 million, or 85.1%, from
$4.7 million in 1998 to $8.7 million in 1999. Excluding special charges of $0.6
million in 1999, segment profit in 1999 would have increased $4.6 million, or
97.9%, from $4.7 million in 1998 to $9.3 million in 1999. The increase was
primarily the result of the additional sales volume described above, partially
offset by an increase in costs in the Logistics Services business unit
associated with enhancements to its information systems to support future
growth.

         YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997

         Income (loss) before extraordinary items decreased $30.1 million from
$23.0 million in 1997 to a $7.1 million loss in 1998. Excluding the
non-recurring costs and other special charges, income before extraordinary items
would have been $11.0 million. This decrease was primarily attributable to (i) a
decline in demand for remanufactured Chrysler transmissions and related
reduction of inventory at DaimlerChrysler and (ii) problems related to the
Company's implementation of the enterprise-wide information system in the
Independent Aftermarket segment. On a per share basis, income (loss) before
extraordinary items decreased from $1.19 per diluted share in 1997 to a loss of
$0.36 per share in 1998.

         NET SALES. Net sales increased $140.7 million, or 40.7%, from $346.1
million in 1997 to $486.8 million in 1998. Of this increase, $131.8 million
related to the March 1998 Autocraft acquisition and $32.3 million related to a
full year's net sales for the businesses acquired in 1997, partially offset by a
$23.4 million decline in sales by the Company's other businesses.

         GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit increased $3.3 million, or 2.5%, from $133.7
in 1997 to $137.0 million in 1998. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit
decreased from 38.6% to 28.1% between the two periods. The decrease in gross
profit margins was primarily related to (1) changes in OEM segment sales mix and
(2) system complexities and problems with data conversion encountered during the
implementation of the Independent Aftermarket segment's enterprise-wide
information system, which resulted in an internalization of management's focus
and hampered inventory management functions, pricing initiatives and sales
growth efforts. In addition, the Company incurred $12.7 million of non-recurring
costs in 1998 primarily consisting of (i) $6.7 million for increased inventory
reserves and (ii) $5.2 million for a

                                       21
<PAGE>

liability related to the purchase of excess cores. Also during 1998, the Company
recorded $1.3 million of special charges relating to idle facility costs.
Excluding these costs, gross profit in 1998 would have been $151.0 million or
31.0% of net sales.

         SG&A EXPENSES. SG&A expenses increased $35.6 million, or 48.2%, from
$73.8 million in 1997 to $109.4 million in 1998. As a percentage of net sales,
SG&A expenses increased from 21.3% to 22.5% between the two periods. During
1998, the Company recorded $7.5 million of non-recurring costs including (i)
$3.0 million related to changes in estimates and other reserves, (ii) $2.7
million related to start-up costs and internal use software and (iii) $1.8
million related to changes in employee benefits and warranty policies. Excluding
these costs, SG&A expenses in 1998 would have been $101.9 million or 20.9% of
net sales as compared to 21.3% in 1997. On an absolute dollar basis, the
increase was primarily attributable to additional SG&A expenses for the
Autocraft businesses acquired in March 1998 and a full year's expense for the
acquisitions made in 1997.

         AMORTIZATION OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS. Amortization of intangible assets
increased $2.3 million, or 51.1%, from $4.5 million in 1997 to $6.8 million in
1998. The increase was primarily attributable to the March 1998 Autocraft
acquisition.

         SPECIAL CHARGES. During 1998, the Company recorded $8.7 million of
special charges, of which $1.3 million was included as a component of cost of
sales. These charges consisted of (i) $3.8 million of restructuring charges that
primarily included employee severance costs and certain other exit costs, (ii)
$2.5 million of costs that primarily included idle facility costs and (iii) $2.4
million that related to a state's interpretation of its tax law that subjected a
portion of the OEM segment's operations over the past four years to a state tax
for the first time.

         INCOME FROM OPERATIONS. Principally as a result of the factors
described above, income from operations decreased $42.0 million, or 75.8%, from
$55.4 million in 1997 to $13.4 million in 1998.

         INTEREST EXPENSE, NET AND OTHER. Interest expense, net and other
increased $6.8 million, or 40.2%, from $16.9 million in 1997 to $23.7 million in
1998. The increase primarily resulted from borrowing under the term loan portion
of the Credit Facility in March 1998 to finance the Autocraft acquisition and
increased borrowings under the revolving portion of the Credit Facility
partially offset by the early redemption in September and October 1998 of $9.6
million in principal amount of Senior Notes. In addition, the Company recorded a
$1.2 million net loss on the sale of Mascot during 1998.

         EXTRAORDINARY ITEMS. In 1997, an extraordinary item in the amount of
$3.8 million ($6.3 million before related income tax benefit of $2.5 million)
was recorded. This amount consisted of (i) a $3.4 million charge resulting from
the early redemption of $40.0 million of the Senior Notes in February 1997,
which included the payment of a 12.0% early redemption premium and the write-off
of related debt issuance costs and (ii) a $0.4 million charge for the write-off
of previously capitalized debt issuance costs in connection with the termination
of the Company's previous revolving credit facility.

         In 1998, an extraordinary item in the amount of $0.7 million ($1.2
million before related income tax benefit of $0.5 million) was recorded. This
amount consisted of (i) a $0.4 million charge for the write-off of previously
capitalized debt issuance costs in connection with the termination of the
Company's previous revolving credit facility and (ii) a $0.3 million charge
resulting from the repurchase of $9.6 million in principal amount of the Senior
Notes in open market transactions.

    Segment profit...............$ 47.0   26.1%  $ 23.9     9.4%
</TABLE>

         NET SALES. Net sales increased $72.7 million, or 40.3%, from $180.3
million in 1997 to $253.0 million in 1998. This increase was due to the March
1998 Autocraft acquisition, which accounted for approximately $91.5 million in
incremental net sales, partially offset by an $18.8 million decline in sales to
existing customers, particularly DaimlerChrysler. As previously reported, the
demand for DaimlerChrysler transmissions declined in 1998 primarily due to (i)
moderate weather during the winter of 1997-1998 and (ii) improved quality of
late model original equipment front wheel drive transmissions. The decline in
demand led to reduced inventory requirements at DaimlerChrysler. In order to
assist DaimlerChrysler in meeting these inventory requirements by the end of
1998, the Company significantly reduced its shipments to DaimlerChrysler during
the second half of the year. The Company believes that reduced demand for front
wheel drive transmissions due to improved quality will be mostly offset by
demand for rear wheel drive transmissions, which the Company began
remanufacturing for DaimlerChrysler during the third quarter of 1998. Sales to
DaimlerChrysler accounted for 32.0% and 18.2% of the Company's revenues (61.4%
and 34.9% of segment revenues) in 1997 and 1998, respectively. Sales to Ford,
(which became a customer in March 1998) accounted for 17.1% of the Company's
revenues (30.5% of segment revenues) in 1998.

         SPECIAL CHARGES. The OEM segment recorded $5.0 million of special
charges in 1998. These charges consisted of (i) $2.6 million in connection with
the consolidation of certain manufacturing plants and (ii) $2.4 million relating
to a state's interpretation of its tax law that subjected a portion of the
segment's operations over the past four years to a state tax for the first time.

         SEGMENT PROFIT. Segment profit decreased $23.1 million, or 49.1%, from
$47.0 million (26.1% of OEM net sales) in 1997 to $23.9 million (9.4% of OEM net
sales) in 1998. Excluding the special charges of $5.0 million and non-recurring
costs of $10.0 million, segment profit in 1998 would have been $38.9 million
(15.4% of segment net sales). The decline was primarily the result of changes in
the sales mix in the OEM segment and to the lower fixed cost absorption as a
result of decreased DaimlerChrysler sales in 1998.

</TABLE>

         NET SALES. Net sales increased $28.3 million, or 17.9%, from $158.4
million in 1997 to $186.7 million in 1998. The increase related to a full year's
net sales of $32.3 million from the three Independent Aftermarket companies
acquired in 1997. Sales for the remainder of the segment were relatively flat
year over year.

         SPECIAL CHARGES. The Independent Aftermarket segment recorded $2.1
million of special charges in 1998. These charges consisted of (i) $1.6 million
for restructuring charges, which included severance and certain other exit
costs, and (ii) $0.5 million related to facility consolidation.

         SEGMENT PROFIT (LOSS). Segment profit decreased $22.3 million from
$10.7 million (6.8% of segment net sales) in 1997 to an $11.6 million loss in
1998. Excluding the special charges of $2.1 million and non-recurring costs of
$9.3 million, segment loss would have been $0.2 million in 1998. The decline was
primarily the result of problems relating to the enterprise-wide information
systems implementation and the continued operational consolidation from nine
separate entities into one during 1998.

         OTHER OPERATING UNITS

         The following table presents net sales and segment profit expressed in
millions of dollars and as a percentage of net sales:

</TABLE>

         NET SALES. Net sales increased $39.7 million, or 536.5%, from $7.4
million in 1997 to $47.1 million in 1998. The increase was attributable to sales
by the Electronics, Logistics Services and Material Recovery business units,
which were acquired in March 1998 as part of the Autocraft acquisition. Prior to
the Autocraft acquisition, revenue in this segment was entirely attributable to
Mascot, which was sold in February 1999.

         SEGMENT PROFIT. Segment profit increased $4.6 million from $0.1 million
in 1997 to $4.7 million in 1998. The increase was primarily the result of sales
volume from the Autocraft acquisition.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         CASH FLOW & CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

         The Company had total cash and cash equivalents on hand of $8.5 million
at December 31, 1999, representing a net increase in cash and cash equivalents
of $7.9 million in 1999. Net cash provided by operating activities was $29.9
million for 1999. Net cash used in investing activities was $60.1 million for
the year, including $41.2 million for the All Trans acquisition and $23.2
million in capital expenditures, primarily for equipment purchases, software and
related implementation costs and leasehold improvements. Net cash provided by
financing activities was $37.9 million, including net borrowings of $48.2
million under the Credit Facility partially offset by $8.1 million in payment of
amounts due to previously acquired companies.

         The Company's capital expenditures in 1999 were $23.2 million,
consisting of (i) $15.5 million for additional transmission and engine
remanufacturing equipment and other improvements to support planned increases in
production capacity and efficiencies in certain of the Company's remanufacturing
plants, (ii) $5.2 million in connection with the ongoing implementation of the
Distribution Group's enterprise-wide information system and (iii) $2.5 million
primarily related to investments in the Company's other operating units. The
Company has $20.0 million budgeted for capital expenditures during 2000,
primarily for remanufacturing equipment replacements and additions to support
planned increases in production capacity and efficiencies in the Company's
various facilities.

         Under the terms of the Company's 1997 acquisition of ATS
Remanufacturing (which remanufactures transmissions for General Motors), the
Company is required to make payments to the seller on each of the first eight
anniversaries of the closing date. As of December 31, 1999, the Company had made
$2.1 million of these payments. Substantially all of the remaining six payments,
which aggregate to approximately $16.8 million (present value of $13.6 million
as of December 31, 1999), are contingent upon the attainment of certain sales
levels by ATS, which the Company believes are more likely than not to be
attained.

         FINANCING

         The Company raised total net proceeds of $61.6 million in its initial
public offering and concurrent private placement of common stock in December
1996 and an additional $47.9 million in a secondary offering in October 1997.
From the Company's inception in July 1994 to December 1996, the Company funded
its operations and investments in property and equipment, including
acquisitions, through the issuance of Senior Notes totaling $162.4 million, the
private sale of preferred stock of $20.0 million and common stock of $20.0
million, and to a lesser extent through cash provided by operating activities
and revolving bank lines. In December 1996, the preferred stock and $40.0
million in principal amount of the Senior Notes were redeemed with proceeds from
the initial public offering. The net proceeds from the secondary offering were
used to repay borrowings under the Credit Facility. In September and October
1998, the Company redeemed $2.2 million and $7.4 million, respectively, in
principal amount of the Senior Notes, with borrowings under the Credit Facility.

         In February 1997, the Company terminated its $30.0 million revolving
credit facility with a bank syndicate led by The Chase Manhattan Bank ("Chase")
that had been scheduled to mature in July 1999 and replaced it with the $100.0
million revolving portion of the Credit Facility, which is also with Chase. The
Credit Facility is available to finance the Company's working capital
requirements, future acquisitions and other general corporate needs, and will
expire in December 2003.

         In March 1998, the Credit Facility was amended and restated to provide
the $120.0 million term loan facility in addition to the existing revolving
facility. The Company borrowed $120.0 million under this term loan facility on
March 6, 1998 to purchase Autocraft and pay related transaction expenses. The
term loan is payable in quarterly installments through December 31, 2003.

                                       25
<PAGE>

         On December 20, 1999, the borrowing capacity under the term loan
portion of the Credit Facility was increased by $10.0 million. On December 24,
1999, the Company borrowed this $10.0 million and used the proceeds to reduce
the outstanding borrowings under the revolving portion of the Credit Facility.
These additional borrowings are payable in quarterly installments through
December 31, 2003.

         The Credit Facility's rate of interest is determined at either (i) the
Alternate Base Rate plus a specified margin or (ii) the Eurodollar Rate plus a
specified margin. The "Alternate Base Rate" is equal to the highest of (a)
Chase's prime rate, (b) the secondary market rate for three-month certificates
of deposit plus 1.0% and (c) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, in each case as
in effect from time to time. The "Eurodollar Rate" is the rate offered by Chase
for eurodollar deposits for one, two, three, six or, if available by all
lenders, nine months (as selected by the Company) in the interbank eurodollar
market. The applicable margins for both Alternate Base Rate and Eurodollar Rate
loans are subject to a quarterly adjustment based on the Company's leverage
ratio as of the end of the four fiscal quarters then completed. At December 31,
1999 the Alternate Base Rate margin was 1.25% and the Eurodollar margin was
2.25%.

         Amounts advanced under the Credit Facility are secured by substantially
all the assets of the Company. The Credit Facility contains several covenants,
including ones that require the Company to maintain certain levels of net worth,
leverage and cash flow coverage and others that limit the Company's ability to
incur indebtedness, make capital expenditures, create liens, engage in mergers
and consolidations, make restricted payments (including dividends), sell assets,
make investments, issue stock and engage in transactions with affiliates of the
Company and its subsidiaries.

         In addition to the Credit Facility, the Company has an agreement with
the Bank of Montreal for a revolving credit facility to accommodate the working
capital needs of the Company's Canadian subsidiary. Borrowings under the
agreement are limited to certain advance rates based upon the eligible accounts
receivable and inventory of the Canadian subsidiary up to an aggregate maximum
of C$3.0 million.

         Based on its operating results during 1998, the Company was in
technical default of the leverage and cash flow covenants of the Credit Facility
and the Company's interest rate swap agreement as of December 31, 1998. This
resulted in a cross default under the line of credit for the Company's Canadian
subsidiaries. Due to the defaults, the Company was prohibited from further
borrowings under the Credit Facility and the Canadian line of credit. In March
1999, the Company obtained from its lenders waivers of the various defaults and
certain amendments to the Credit Facility and the interest rate swap agreement.
In December 1999, in conjunction with the $10.0 million increase in the Credit
Facility, the leverage ratio and interest coverage covenants in the credit
agreement were amended to be consistent with the Company's current financial
projections. As of December 31, 1999, the Company was in compliance with its
covenants and believes that it will be able to comply with these covenants in
the future.

         Additionally, the Company has approximately $110.0 million of the
Senior Notes outstanding. The indentures under which the Senior Notes were
issued contain certain covenants that, among other things, limit the Company's
ability to incur additional indebtedness. As of December 31, 1999, the Company
was in compliance with such covenants and believes that it will be able to
comply with these covenants in the future.

         As of December 31, 1999, the Company's borrowing capacity under the
Credit Facility and the Canadian line of credit were $14.9 million and C$2.2
million, respectively. In addition, the Company had cash and cash equivalents on
hand of $8.5 million at December 31, 1999.

         The Company believes that cash on hand, cash flow from operations and
existing borrowing capacity will be sufficient to fund its ongoing operations
and its budgeted capital expenditures. In pursuing future acquisitions, the
Company will continue to consider the effect that any such acquisition costs may
have on its liquidity. In order to consummate such acquisitions, the Company may
need to seek additional capital through borrowings or equity financing.

IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

         In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
133, ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES (as amended by
Statement No. 137, ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
- DEFERRAL OF THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF FASB STATEMENT NO. 133 issued June 1999),
effective for periods beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS No. 133 requires that
all derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at their fair value.
Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in current
earnings or other comprehensive income, depending on whether a derivative is
designated a part of a hedge and, if it is, the type of hedge transaction. The
Company anticipates that the adoption of SFAS No. 133 will not have a
significant effect on the Company's results of operations or its financial
position.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

         During 1999 the Company assembled an internal project team that
addressed the issue of computer programs and embedded computer chips being
unable to distinguish between the Year 1900 and the Year 2000. The project team
developed and implemented a three-step plan intended to result in the Company's
operations continuing with no or minimal interruption through the Year 2000. The
plan was designed to comply with guidelines established by the Automotive
Industry Action Group (an industry association supported by several of the major
OEMs).

         The project team inventoried all of the Company's computer hardware and
software and all of its devices having imbedded computer technology, focusing on
five areas: (i) business systems; (ii) production (E.G., desktop computers and
remanufacturing machinery); (iii) financial management (E.G., banking software,
postage equipment and time clocks); (iv) facilities (E.G., heating and air
conditioning systems, elevators, telephones, and fire and security systems); and
(v) significant vendors and customers. The project team then determined whether
each inventoried system, device, customer or vendor was Year 2000 compatible and
those systems and devices that were not compatible were upgraded or replaced.

         As a result of these efforts, the Company did not experience any
significant disruption in the function of any of its computer hardware or
software or devices with embedded computer technology during the Year 2000 date
change. The Company also did not experience any significant problems due to Year
2000 compliance issues of any of the Company's significant customers or vendors.

         The Company will continue to monitor the functions of its computer
hardware and software and devices with embedded computer technology, as well as
the Year 2000 compliance of its significant customers and vendors, to discover
and promptly correct any latent Year 2000 problems that may arise in the future.

INFLATION; LACK OF SEASONALITY

         Although the Company is subject to the effects of changing prices, the
impact of inflation has not been a significant factor in results of operations
for the periods presented. In some circumstances, market conditions or customer
expectations may prevent the Company from increasing the prices of its products
to offset the inflationary pressures that may increase its costs in the future.
Historically, there has been little seasonal fluctuation in the Company's
business.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

         See Item 1. "Business-Environmental" for a discussion of certain
environmental matters relating to the Company.

ITEM 7A.        QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

         The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for
trading purposes. The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage
its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. Neither the aggregate value of
these derivative financial instruments nor the market risk posed by them is
material to the Company. The Company uses interest rate swaps to convert
variable rate debt to fixed rate debt to reduce volatility risk. For additional
discussion regarding the Company's use of such instruments, see Item 8.
"Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data-Note 2."

INTEREST RATE EXPOSURE

         Based on the Company's overall interest rate exposure during the year
ended December 31, 1999, and assuming similar interest rate volatility in the
future, a near-term (12 months) change in interest rates would not materially
affect the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operation or
cash flows. Interest rate movements of 10% would not have a material effect on
the Company's financial position, results of operation or cash flows.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE EXPOSURE

         The Company has three foreign operations that expose it to translation
risk when the local currency financial statements are translated to U.S.
dollars. Since changes in translation risk are reported as adjustments to
stockholders' equity, a 10% movement in foreign exchange would not have a
material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operation or
cash flows.

                REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
Aftermarket Technology Corp.

         We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
Aftermarket Technology Corp. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31,
1998 and 1999, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1999. Our audits also included the financial statement
schedule listed in the Index of Item 14 (a). These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

         We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

         In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Aftermarket Technology Corp. and subsidiaries at December 31, 1998 and 1999, and
the consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999, in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Also, in our
opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation
to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all
material respects, the information set forth therein.

                          AFTERMARKET TECHNOLOGY CORP.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                 (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE DATA)

NOTE 1.  THE COMPANY

         Aftermarket Technology Corp. and its subsidiaries ("ATC" or the
"Company") is primarily a remanufacturer and distributor of drivetrain products
used in the repair of vehicles in the automotive aftermarket. The Company's
principal products include remanufactured transmissions, torque converters,
engines, electronic control modules, instrument and display clusters, radios and
remanufactured and new parts for the repair of automotive drivetrain assemblies.
In addition, the Company provides value-added, third-party distribution and
material logistical services. The Company also provides reverse logistics and
material recovery services for the automotive industry. The Company's automotive
customers include original equipment manufacturers, independent transmission
rebuilders, general repair shops, wholesale distributors and retail automotive
parts stores. Established in 1994, the Company maintains manufacturing
facilities and/or distribution centers in the United States, Canada, Mexico and
the United Kingdom.

NOTE 2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

         The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated.

USE OF ESTIMATES

         The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

         The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

INVENTORIES

         Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out
method) or market and consist primarily of new and used engine and transmission
parts, cores and finished goods. Consideration is given to deterioration,
obsolescence, and other factors in evaluating the estimated market value of
inventory based upon management's judgement and available information.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

         Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated
depreciation. Depreciation is computed using straight-line methods over the
estimated useful lives of the assets for financial reporting purposes, as
follows: five to twelve years for machinery and equipment, three to six years
for autos and trucks, three to ten years for furniture and fixtures and up to 40
years for buildings and leasehold improvements. Depreciation and amortization
expense was $3,394, $8,545 and $12,255 for the years ended December 31, 1997,
1998 and 1999, respectively.

INTERNAL USE COMPUTER SOFTWARE

         In 1998, the Company adopted the provisions of SOP 98-1, ACCOUNTING FOR
THE COSTS OF COMPUTER SOFTWARE DEVELOPED OR OBTAINED FOR INTERNAL USE.
Historically, the Company had capitalized all costs related to software and
implementation services in connection with its internal use software systems,
which were not material prior to 1998, and classified them as part of property,
plant and equipment. During 1998, in

                                       35
<PAGE>

accordance with SOP 98-1, the Company expensed software development costs
principally related to training and data conversion. The effects of the change
in accounting principle were immaterial to prior periods. As of December 31,
1998 and 1999, capitalized internal use software costs were $10,494 and $15,749,
respectively, including capitalized interest of $461 and $774 as of December 31,
1998 and 1999, respectively.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

         The functional currency for the Company's foreign operations is the
applicable local currency. Accordingly, all balance sheet accounts have been
translated using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and
income statement amounts have been translated using the average exchange rate
for the year. The translation adjustments resulting from the changes in exchange
rates have been reported separately as a component of stockholders' equity. The
effects of transaction gains and losses were not material for the periods
presented.

DEBT ISSUANCE COSTS

         Debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the sale of the Senior
Notes (see Note 10) and the Credit Facility (see Note 9) are being amortized
over the life of the debt using a method which approximates the interest method.
Debt issuance costs are reflected net of accumulated amortization of $2,433 and
$3,370 at December 31, 1998 and 1999, respectively.

COST IN EXCESS OF NET ASSETS ACQUIRED

         The excess of cost over the fair market value of the net assets of
businesses acquired (goodwill) is amortized on a straight-line basis over 40
years. Cost in excess of net assets acquired is reflected net of accumulated
amortization of $19,561 and $26,794 at December 31, 1998 and 1999, respectively.

LONG-LIVED ASSETS

         The Company evaluates its long-lived assets (including related Cost in
excess of net assets acquired) on an ongoing basis. Identifiable intangibles are
reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of the related asset may not be recoverable.
Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the
carrying amount of the asset to future undiscounted cash flows expected to be
generated by the asset. If the asset is determined to be impaired, the
impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of
the asset exceeds its fair value.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

         Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a
significant concentration of credit risk consist of accounts receivable from its
customers, which are primarily in the automotive industry throughout the United
States, and to a lesser extent Canada and the United Kingdom. The credit risk
associated with the Company's accounts receivable is mitigated by its credit
evaluation process and the geographical dispersion of sales transactions. The
Company grants credit to certain customers, including its OEM customers
(including DaimlerChrysler, Ford and General Motors) who meet pre-established
credit requirements. Customers who do not meet those requirements are required
to pay for products upon delivery.

         Accounts receivable is reflected net of an allowance for doubtful
accounts of $2,404 and $2,910 at December 31, 1998 and 1999, respectively.

OFF BALANCE SHEET DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

         During 1998 the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement.
The interest rate swap agreement is used by the Company to manage interest rate
risk on a portion of its floating rate credit facility. The interest rate swap
is matched as a hedge against, and originally had the same maturity date as, the
Credit Facility. The interest rate swap agreement converts the floating interest
rate on a portion of the Credit Facility to a fixed rate. The cost of the
interest rate swap is recorded as part of interest expense and accrued expenses.
During 1999, the Company, in exchange for consideration received, shortened the
maturity dates on a portion

                                       36
<PAGE>

of its interest rate swap agreements to January 2001, and recorded a deferred
gain, which will be recognized over the life of the original agreements. Fair
value of these instruments is based on estimated current settlement cost.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

         Revenues are recognized at the time of shipment to the customer or as
services are performed.

WARRANTY COST RECOGNITION

         The Company estimates warranty costs as sales are made.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

         The Company has elected to follow APB Opinion No. 25, ACCOUNTING FOR
STOCK ISSUED TO EMPLOYEES, and related interpretations in accounting for the
stock options awarded under the Company's 1996 and 1998 stock option plans.
Accordingly, compensation expense is recognized only for those options whose
price is less than fair market value at the measurement date. The Company has
adopted the disclosure only provisions of SFAS 123, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED
COMPENSATION.

SEGMENT REPORTING

         In 1999, the Company revised its segment profit measure from profit or
loss before income taxes and extraordinary items ("EBT") to income from
operations (profit or loss before interest, other income (expense), income taxes
and extraordinary items) to conform with the profit measures used by the
Company's internal management during 1999. All prior-year segment information
has been restated to conform to the 1999 presentation. (See Note 17.)

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

         In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
133, ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES (as amended by
Statement No. 137, ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES-
DEFERRAL OF THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF FASB STATEMENT NO. 133 issued June 1999),
effective for periods beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS No. 133 requires that
all derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at their fair value.
Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in current
earnings or other comprehensive income, depending on whether a derivative is
designated a part of a hedge and, if it is, the type of hedge transaction. The
Company anticipates that the adoption of SFAS No. 133 will not have a
significant effect on the Company's results of operations or its financial
position. The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 133 on January 1, 2001.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

         Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the
1999 presentation.

NOTE 3.  ACQUISITIONS AND SALE OF SUBSIDIARY

         In January 1997, the Company acquired Replacement & Exchange Parts
Co., Inc. ("REPCO"), a Texas-based distributor of transmission repair parts,
for a purchase price of approximately $12.3 million, including transaction
fees and related expenses. Goodwill recorded approximated $6.8 million. The
operations of REPCO were not material to the Company's consolidated
operations.

         In July 1997, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of
ATS Remanufacturing ("ATS"), a remanufacturer of automatic transmissions and
related components located in Gastonia, North Carolina. To complete this
acquisition, the Company made cash payments totaling $12.9 million, including
transaction fees and related expenses. In addition, the ATS acquisition requires
subsequent payments due on each of the first eight anniversaries of the closing
date. As of December 31, 1999, the Company had made $2.1 million of additional
payments related to the ATS acquisition. Substantially all of the remaining six
payments to be made in the future, which will aggregate to approximately $16.8
million (present value $13.6 million as of December 31, 1999), are contingent
upon the attainment of certain sales levels by ATS,

                                       37
<PAGE>

which the Company believes are more likely than not to be attained. Goodwill
recorded for ATS approximated $26.1 million. The operations of ATS were not
material to the Company's consolidated operations.

         In August 1997, the Company acquired Trans Mart, Inc. ("Trans Mart"), a
distributor of automatic and standard transmission parts and related drivetrain
components based in Florence, Alabama. To complete this acquisition, the Company
made cash payments of $27.9 million, including transaction fees and related
expenses. Goodwill recorded for Trans Mart approximated $20.9 million. The
operations of Trans Mart were not material to the Company's consolidated
operations.

         In November 1997, the Company acquired Metran Automatic Transmission
Parts Corp. ("Metran"), a New York-based distributor of automatic and manual
transmission parts and related drivetrain components, for a purchase price of
approximately $8.1 million, including transaction fees and related expenses.
Goodwill recorded approximated $5.3 million. The operations of Metran were not
material to the Company's consolidated operations.

         In January 1998, the Company acquired the inventory, accounts
receivable and related customer lists of Automatic Parts & Equipment, Inc., a
Minnesota-based distributor of automatic and manual transmission parts and
related drivetrain components, for a purchase price of approximately $0.2
million, including transaction fees and related expenses. Goodwill recorded
approximated $0.1 million. The operations of Automatic Parts & Equipment, Inc.
were not material to the Company's consolidated operations.

         In March 1998, the Company acquired substantially all the assets of the
OEM Division of Autocraft Industries, Inc. ("Autocraft"), a remanufacturer and
distributor of drivetrain and electronic parts used in the warranty and
aftermarket repair of passenger cars and light trucks. The purchase price of
approximately $121.7 million, including transaction fees and related expenses,
includes $5.7 million paid during 1999 based on the performance of the OEM
Division's European operations during 1998. Goodwill recorded approximated $73.4
million.

         In October and December 1999, the Company acquired substantially all
the assets of All Transmission Parts, Inc. and its affiliate, All Automatic
Transmission Parts, Inc., respectively, ("All Trans") a distributor of standard
and automatic transmission parts and related drivetrain components based in
Portland, Oregon for a combined purchase price of approximately $41.2 million,
including transaction fees and related expenses. Goodwill recorded for the All
Trans acquisition approximated $36.1 million. The financial statements reflect
the preliminary allocation of the purchase price. The purchase price allocation
will be finalized upon a final valuation of the acquired company's property,
plant and equipment and certain other information.

         These acquisitions have been accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting. Accordingly, the allocation of the cost of the acquired assets and
liabilities has been made on the basis of the estimated fair value. The
consolidated financial statements include the operating results of each business
from the date of acquisition.

         In December 1998, the Company agreed to sell the assets of its Canadian
heavy-duty truck remanufacturing operation ("Mascot") for $3.8 million in cash
and the assumption of certain liabilities. As part of this transaction, the
Company recorded a $1.2 million loss in the fourth quarter of 1998. In February
1999, the Company collected the $3.8 million of cash proceeds.

NOTE 4.  RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

         Amounts due to previously acquired companies consist primarily of
additional purchase price payable to former owners and certain officers of
companies acquired in 1997. Amounts are payable through 2005.

         During 1998 and 1999, the Company received fees totaling $1,062 and
$1,229, respectively, from The Fred Jones Companies, Inc., the former owner of
Autocraft, for computer systems support services provided by the Company. In
addition, during 1998 and 1999 the Company sold $95 and $63, respectively, of
products to certain automobile dealerships owned by a limited liability company
in which The Fred Jones Companies has a significant equity interest. Fred Hall,
a former director of the Company, is Chairman, President, Chief Executive
Officer and a significant stockholder of The Fred Jones Companies.

         The Company rents certain of its facilities from previous owners of
acquired companies. Rent expense includes amounts paid to certain of these
related parties of $1,574, $1,863 and $890 for the years ended December 31,
1997, 1998 and 1999, respectively.

         The Company paid or owed at year end to Aurora Capital Partners
("ACP"), which controls the Company's largest stockholders, $1,395, $1,875 and
$800 in fees for investment banking services provided in connection with
companies acquired in 1997, 1998 and 1999, respectively. In addition, ACP was
paid management fees of $534, $541 and $596 in 1997, 1998 and 1999,
respectively. The Company reimburses ACP for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in
connection with providing management services. ACP is also entitled to various
additional fees depending on the Company's profitability or certain significant
corporate transactions. No such additional fees were paid in 1997, 1998 or 1999.

NOTE 8.  BANK LINE OF CREDIT

         The Company has a revolving credit agreement with the Bank of Montreal
(the "BOM Revolving Credit Agreement"), providing for a C$3.0 million revolving
credit facility to accommodate the working capital needs of its Canadian
subsidiary. The funds available to be advanced may not exceed the aggregate of
75% of the eligible accounts receivable and 50% of the eligible inventory of the
Canadian subsidiary. Amounts advanced are secured by substantially all assets of
the Canadian subsidiary and are guaranteed by the Company. Interest is payable
monthly at the Bank of Montreal's prime lending rate (6.50% at December 31,
1999) plus 0.50%. At December 31, 1999, $0.5 million was outstanding under this
line of credit.

         The BOM Revolving Credit Agreement contains certain covenants,
including a tangible net worth covenant for the results of the Company's
Canadian subsidiary, and provides for cross-default in the event of a default
under the Company's Credit Facility (see Note 9.)

NOTE 9.  CREDIT FACILITY

         In March 1998, the credit agreement for the Company's $100.0 million
credit facility with The Chase Manhattan Bank, as agent (the "Bank"), was
amended and restated to provide for a new credit facility comprised of a $100.0
million line of credit (the "Revolver") and a $120.0 million term loan (the
"Term Loan") (collectively, the "Credit Facility") to finance the Company's
working capital requirements, future acquisitions and the acquisition of
Autocraft (see Note 3). In December 1999, the Company's credit agreement was
amended and restated to allow for an additional $10.0 million in borrowings
under the Term

                                       40
<PAGE>

Loan. Amounts advanced under the Credit Facility are secured by substantially
all the assets of the Company. Amounts outstanding under the Term Loan are
payable in quarterly installments through December 31, 2003. Amounts advanced
under the Revolver become due on December 31, 2003. The balance outstanding on
the Term Loan as of December 31, 1999 was $103.4 million. The Company may prepay
outstanding advances under the Revolver or the Term Loan in whole or in part
without incurring any premium or penalty. At December 31, 1999, $83.2 million
was outstanding under the Revolver. In addition, the Company had letters of
credit under the Credit Facility totaling $1.9 million at December 31, 1999.

         At the Company's election, amounts advanced under the Credit Facility
will bear interest at either (i) the Alternate Base Rate plus a specified
margin, or (ii) the Eurodollar Rate plus a specified margin. The "Alternate Base
Rate" is equal to the highest of (a) the Bank's prime rate, (b) the secondary
market rate for three-month certificates of deposit plus 1.0% and (c) the
federal funds rate plus 0.5%, in each case as in effect from time to time. The
"Eurodollar Rate" is the rate offered by the Bank for eurodollar deposits for
one, two, three, six or, if available by all lenders, nine months (as selected
by the Company). The applicable margins for both Alternate Base Rate and
Eurodollar Rate loans are subject to a quarterly adjustment based on the
Company's leverage ratio as of the end of the four fiscal quarters then
completed. At December 31, 1999, the Alternate Base Rate and the Eurodollar Rate
margins are 1.25% and 2.25%, respectively. Interest payments on advances that
bear interest based upon the Alternate Base Rate are due quarterly in arrears
and on the termination date, and interest payments on advances that bear
interest based upon the Eurodollar Rate are due on the last day of each relevant
interest period (or, if such period exceeds three months, quarterly after the
first day of such period). The blended interest rate on the credit facility for
the year ended December 31, 1998 and 1999 was 6.72% and 7.70%, respectively.

         The Company paid the Bank a facility and commitment fee upon the
effective date of the Credit Facility and subsequently in December 1999, related
to the increase in the Term Loan. In addition, the Company is required to pay
the Bank quarterly in arrears a commitment fee equal to a per annum percentage
of the average daily unused portion of the Credit Facility during such quarter.
The commitment is subject to a quarterly adjustment based on the Company's
leverage ratio as of the end of the four fiscal quarters then completed. At
December 31, 1999, the quarterly commitment fee percentage is 0.500%. The
Company must also reimburse the Bank for certain legal and other costs of the
Bank and pay a fee on outstanding letters of credit at a rate per annum equal to
the applicable margin then in effect for advances bearing interest at the
Eurodollar Rate.

         During 1998, in order to convert $50.0 million of its Credit Facility
to a fixed rate, the Company entered into a series of interest rate swap
agreements scheduled to mature during July 2003. During 1999, the Company
revised the maturity dates on certain of the swap agreements to January 2001 in
exchange for proceeds of $0.6 million. The proceeds were recorded as a deferred
gain and are being amortized over the original life of the interest rate swap
agreements.

         The Credit Facility contains several covenants, including ones that
require the Company to maintain certain levels of net worth, leverage and cash
flow coverage, and others that limit the Company's ability to incur
indebtedness, make capital expenditures, create liens, engage in mergers and
consolidations, make restricted payments (including dividends), sell assets,
make investments, issue stock and engage in transactions with affiliates of the
Company and its subsidiaries.

         Annual maturities of the Company's Credit Facility are as follows as of
December 31, 1999:

NOTE 10.  12% SERIES B AND D SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES

         On August 2, 1994, the Company completed a private placement issuance
of $120.0 million of 12% Series A Senior Subordinated Notes due in 2004.
Proceeds from the issuance were used to partially finance the acquisitions made
by the Company in 1994. The privately placed debt was subsequently exchanged for
public debt (Series B).

                                       41
<PAGE>

         On June 1, 1995, the Company completed another private placement
issuance of $40.0 million of 12% Series C Senior Subordinated Notes due in 2004.
Proceeds of $42.4 million from the issuance were used to finance acquisitions
made by the Company during 1995. These notes have an effective interest rate of
10.95%. The privately placed debt was subsequently exchanged for public debt
(Series D).

         Interest on the 12% Series B and Series D Senior Subordinated Notes
(the "Senior Notes") is payable semiannually on February 1 and August 1 of each
year. The Senior Notes will mature on August 1, 2004. Beginning on August 1,
1999, and each anniversary date thereafter, the Senior Notes may be redeemed at
the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at the redemption prices
specified below, plus accrued and unpaid interest:

</TABLE>

         In addition, at any time on or prior to August 1, 1997, the Company
could have, subject to certain requirements, redeemed up to $30.0 million of the
Series B Senior Notes and $10.0 million of the Series D Senior Notes with the
net cash proceeds of one or more public equity offerings, at a price equal to
112% of the principal amount to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest. On
February 16, 1997, the Company exercised its right and redeemed $30.0 million in
principal amount of the Series B Senior Notes and $10.0 million in principal
amount of the Series D Senior Notes. In connection with these redemptions, the
Company recorded an extraordinary loss of $3.8 million, net of tax.

         During 1998, the Company purchased and retired a total of $2.2 million
in principal amount of the Series D Senior Notes and $7.4 million in principal
amount of the Series B Senior Notes in open market transactions. In connection
with these purchases, the Company recorded an extraordinary loss of $0.3
million, net of tax.

         In the event of a change in control, the Company would be required to
offer to repurchase the Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal
amount plus accrued and unpaid interest.

         The Senior Notes are general obligations of the Company, subordinated
in right of payment to all existing and future senior debt (including the
Company's Credit Facility). The Senior Notes are guaranteed by each of the
Company's existing and future subsidiaries other than any subsidiary designated
as an unrestricted subsidiary (as defined). As of December 31, 1999, the Company
had no unrestricted subsidiaries. The Company may incur additional indebtedness,
including borrowings under its Credit Facility (See Note 9), subject to certain
limitations.

         The indentures under which the Senior Notes were issued contain certain
covenants that, among other things, limit the Company's ability to incur

         On May 6, 1998, the stockholders of the Company approved the amendment
to the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to reduce the
number of authorized shares of preferred stock from 5,000,000 to 2,000,000.

         On August 26, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the
Company to repurchase 350,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. During 1998,
the Company repurchased 172,000 shares at an average price of $11.59 per share.

NOTE 15.  EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT PLANS

         The Company's defined contribution plans provide substantially all U.S.
salaried and hourly employees of the Company an opportunity to accumulate
personal funds for their retirement, subject to minimum duration of employment
requirements. Contributions are made on a before-tax basis to substantially all
of these plans.

         As determined by the provisions of each plan, the Company matches a
portion of the employees' basic voluntary contributions. Company matching
contributions to the plans were approximately $359, $532 and $971 for the plan
years ending in 1997, 1998 and 1999, respectively.

NOTE 16.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

         The Company leases certain facilities and equipment under various
operating lease agreements, which expire on various dates through 2012. Facility
leases that expire generally are expected to be renewed or replaced by other
leases. Future minimum rental commitments under non-cancelable operating leases
with terms in excess of one year are as follows:

         Rent expense for all operating leases approximated $7,228, $9,561 and
$11,469 for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1998 and 1999, respectively.

         The Company is subject to various evolving Federal, state, local and
foreign environmental laws and regulations governing, among other things,
emissions to air, discharge to waters and the generation, handling, storage,
transportation, treatment and disposal of a variety of hazardous and
nonhazardous substances and wastes. These laws and regulations provide for
substantial fines and criminal sanctions for violations and impose liability for
the costs of cleaning up, and certain damages resulting from, past spills,
disposals or other releases of hazardous substances.

         In connection with the acquisition of certain subsidiaries, the Company
conducted certain investigations of these companies' facilities and their
compliance with applicable environmental laws. The investigations, which
included "Phase I" assessments by independent consultants of all manufacturing
and certain distribution facilities, found that certain facilities have had or
may have had releases of hazardous materials that may require remediation and
also may be subject to potential liabilities for contamination from off-site
disposal of substances or wastes. These assessments also found that certain
reporting and other regulatory requirements, including certain waste management
procedures, were not or may not have been satisfied. Although there can be no
assurance, the Company believes that, based in part on the investigations
conducted, in part on certain remediation completed prior to the acquisitions,
and in part on the indemnification provisions of the agreements entered into in
connection with the Company's acquisitions, the Company will not incur any
material liabilities relating to these matters.

         The company from which RPM Merit ("RPM") acquired its assets (the
"Prior RPM Company") has been identified by the United States Environmental
Protection Agency (the "EPA") as one of many potentially responsible parties for
environmental liabilities associated with a "Superfund" site located in the area
of RPM's former manufacturing facilities and current distribution facility in
Azusa, California. The Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended ("CERCLA" or "Superfund")
provides for cleanup of sites from which there has been a release or threatened
release of hazardous substances, and authorizes recovery of related response
costs and certain other damages from potentially responsible parties ("PRPs").
PRPs are broadly defined under CERCLA, and generally include


                                       46


<PAGE>


present owners and operators of a site and certain past owners and operators. As
a general rule, courts have interpreted CERCLA to impose strict, joint and
several liability upon all persons liable for cleanup costs. As a practical
matter, however, at sites where there are multiple PRPs, the costs of cleanup
typically are allocated among the PRPs according to a volumetric or other
standard. The EPA has preliminarily estimated that it will cost approximately
$47.0 million to construct and approximately $4.0 million per year for an
indefinite period to operate an interim remedial groundwater pumping and
treatment system for the part of the Superfund site within which RPM's former
manufacturing facilities and current distribution facility, as well as those of
many other potentially responsible parties, are located. The actual cost of this
remedial action could vary substantially from this estimate, and additional
costs associated with the Superfund site are likely to be assessed. The Company
has significantly reduced its presence at the site and has moved all
manufacturing operations off-site. Since July 1995, the Company's only real
property interest in this site has been the lease of a 6,000 square foot storage
and distribution facility. The RPM acquisition agreement and the leases pursuant
to which the Company leased RPM's facilities after the Company acquired the
assets of RPM (the "RPM Acquisition") expressly provide that the Company did not
assume any liabilities for environmental conditions existing on or before the
RPM Acquisition, although the Company could become responsible for these
liabilities under various legal theories. The Company is indemnified against any
such liabilities by the seller of RPM as well as the Prior RPM Company
shareholders. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company would be able
to make any recovery under any indemnification provisions. Since the RPM
Acquisition, the Company has been engaged in negotiations with the EPA to settle
any liability that it may have for this site. Although there can be no
assurance, the Company believes that it will not incur any material liability as
a result of these environmental conditions.

NOTE 17.  REPORTABLE SEGMENTS

         The Company has two reportable segments: Original Equipment
Manufacturer ("OEM") segment and Independent Aftermarket segment. The Company's
OEM segment consists of four operating units that primarily sell remanufactured
transmissions directly to the OEMs and engines to independent installers and
distributors. The Company's Independent Aftermarket segment consists of the
Company's Distribution Group, which primarily sells transmission repair kits,
soft parts, remanufactured torque converters and new and remanufactured hard
parts used in drivetrain repairs to independent transmission rebuilders and to a
lesser extent to general repair shops, wholesale distributors and retail
automotive parts stores. Other operating units, which are not reportable
segments, consist of an electronic parts remanufacturing and distribution
business, warehouse and distribution services for AT&T Wireless Services and a
material recovery processing business for Ford Motor Company.

         The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based upon
profit or loss before interest, other income (expense), income taxes and
extraordinary items ("Income from Operations"). The reportable segments'
accounting policies are the same as those described in the summary of
significant accounting policies (see Note 2). Intersegment sales and transfers
are recorded at the Company's standard cost and all intersegment profits, if
any, are eliminated.

         The reportable segments are each managed and measured separately
primarily due to the differing customers, production processes, products sold
and distribution channels. The reportable segments are as follows:

NOTE 19.  SPECIAL CHARGES

         The Company has implemented certain initiatives designed to improve
operating efficiencies and reduce costs. In the second quarter of 1998 the
Company recorded $3,580 in special charges related to these initiatives,
consisting of $1,085 of restructuring charges and $2,495 of other charges. The
restructuring charges included $822 of severance costs for 11 people and $263 of
exit costs. The severance costs were incurred in connection with the
reorganization of the ATC Distribution Group's management structure,
centralization of the ATC Distribution Group's Management Information Systems
("MIS") operations and certain other personnel matters. The exit costs were
incurred to consolidate the Company's Joplin and Springfield, Missouri engine
remanufacturing lines into the Springfield facility. The other charges consisted
of $2,044 of idle facility costs incurred at the Joplin facility due to the
consolidation of the remanufacturing lines and $451 of relocation costs related
to the centralization of the ATC Distribution Group's management team and to
centralize the ATC Distribution Group's MIS operations.

<PAGE>


         In the fourth quarter of 1998, the Company recorded an additional
$5,164 in special charges consisting of $2,764 in restructuring costs and $2,400
in non-income related taxes. The $2,764 restructuring cost includes $1,868 of
severance costs for seven people, $596 of exit costs and $300 of other costs.
The severance costs were incurred in connection with the replacement of the
Company's Chief Executive Officer and other members of management as well as
additional reorganization of the ATC Distribution Group's management structure.
The non-income related tax charge is due to a state's 1998 interpretation of tax
laws. This interpretation was applied retroactively to prior fiscal years. Due
to a change in distribution operations, the Company's exposure to the effect of
this tax interpretation will be significantly reduced in future tax periods.

         In the first quarter of 1999, the Company recorded special charges of
$1,900, which consisted of $1,559 of severance costs for five people related to
its management reorganization and $341 of exit costs related to the
consolidation of certain of the Company's distribution centers.

         In the second quarter of 1999, the Company recorded special charges of
$2,100, which consisted of $1,130 of exit costs related to the consolidation of
certain of the Company's distribution centers, $700 of other costs primarily
related to the Company's management reorganization and $270 of severance costs
for seven people. The severance costs were also related to the Company's
management reorganization.

         In the fourth quarter of 1999, the Company recorded $9,763 of special
charges primarily related to the initiation of five actions. First, the Company
recorded $4,587 of costs primarily related to distribution center, distribution
branch and manufacturing plant consolidations within its Independent Aftermarket
segment, consisting of $1,930 of inventory write-downs classified as Cost of
Sales - Special Charges, $950 of severance costs for 198 people, $940 of costs
related to the write-down of fixed assets and $767 of exit costs. Second, the
Company recorded $3,333 of costs associated with the narrowing of its
remanufactured engine product offerings, consisting of $2,852 of inventory
write-downs classified as Cost of Sales - Special Charges, $173 of severance
costs for 31 people, $119 of exit costs and $189 of costs related to the
write-down of certain assets. Third, the Company recorded $850 of costs to exit
a plant within its OEM segment consisting of $500 of costs related to the
write-down of fixed assets and $350 of severance costs for 130 people. Fourth,
the Company recorded $490 of costs related to its electronics business unit
consisting of $168 related to the write-down of accounts receivable balances
from customers the business unit no longer services, $164 of severance costs for
nine people, $113 of inventory write-downs classified as Cost of Sales - Special
Charges and $45 of other costs. Fifth, the Company recorded $503 of severance

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

         The Company typically enters into an employment agreement with each of
its executive officers (including the Named Executive Officers) that provides
for a three-year term and is automatically renewable thereafter on a
year-to-year basis. The agreement includes a noncompetition provision for a
period of 18 months from the termination of the executive officer's employment
with the Company and a nondisclosure provision which is effective for the term
of the employment agreement and indefinitely thereafter. The executive officer
is entitled to severance equal to his base salary for a period of 12 months
after termination if he is terminated without cause (as defined in the
employment agreement), except in the cases of Mr. DuBose, whose severance period
is the longer of 24 months or the balance of the initial contract term, and Mr.
Kohn, whose severance period is 18 months. Set forth below is the current annual
base salary for the Company's Chief Executive Officer and each of its other four
most highly compensated executive officers as of March 27, 2000:

1996 AND 1998 STOCK INCENTIVE PLANS

         Pursuant to the 1996 and 1998 Plans, officers, directors, employees and
consultants of the Company and its affiliates are eligible to receive options to
purchase Common Stock and other awards. Awards under the 1996 Plan are not
restricted to any specified form or structure and may include, without
limitation, sales or bonuses of stock, restricted stock, stock options, reload
stock options, stock purchase warrants, other rights to acquire stock,
securities convertible into or redeemable for stock, stock appreciation rights,
phantom stock, dividend equivalents, performance units or performance shares.
Awards under the 1998 Plan may take the form of stock options, annual incentive
bonuses and incentive stock.


                                       58

<PAGE>

         The Plans are administered by the Compensation and Human Resources
Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Committee"), although the Board of
Directors may exercise any authority of the Committee under the Plans in lieu of
the Committee's exercise thereof. While the Plans permit the Committee to grant
awards, such grants are typically made by the Board of Directors based on the
Committee's recommendations regarding the recipients and type and amount of
awards. Subject to the express provisions of the Plans, the Committee has broad
authority in administering and interpreting the Plans. Options granted to
employees may be options intended to qualify as incentive stock options under
Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or options not
intended to so qualify. Awards to employees may include a provision terminating
the award upon termination of employment under certain circumstances or
accelerating the receipt of benefits upon the occurrence of specified events,
including, at the discretion of the Committee, any change of control of the
Company.

         The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that can be issued under
the Plans may not exceed 3,600,000. As of January 31, 2000, there were
outstanding options to purchase an aggregate of 1,786,325 shares of Common Stock
granted to directors, officers and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries
and certain independent contractors pursuant to the Plans, and the number of
shares available for issuance pursuant to options yet to be granted under the
Plans was 267,353. In February 2000 the Company granted options to employees to
purchase an additional 190,000 shares of Common Stock.

         In most cases, outstanding options are subject to certain vesting
provisions and expire on the tenth anniversary of the date of grant. The
exercise prices of options outstanding under the Plans as of January 31, 2000
are as follows:

ITEM 13.        CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

         The Company believes the transactions described below were beneficial
to the Company and were on terms at least as favorable to the Company as could
have been obtained from unaffiliated third parties pursuant to arms-length
negotiations.

RELATIONSHIP WITH AURORA CAPITAL GROUP

         The Company was formed in 1994 at the direction of Aurora Capital
Group, of which the Aurora Partnerships are a part. Aurora Capital Group is
controlled by Messrs. Crowell, Hardy, Parsky and Roeder, who are directors of
the Company. See Item 12. "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and
Management."

         The Company pays to Aurora Management Partners ("AMP"), which is a part
of Aurora Capital Group, a base annual management fee of $550,000 for advisory
and consulting services pursuant to a written management services agreement (the
"Management Services Agreement"). AMP is also entitled to reimbursements from
the Company for all of its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred
in connection with the performance of its obligations under the Management
Services Agreement. The base annual management fee is subject to increase, at
the discretion of the disinterested members of the Company's Board of Directors,
by up to an aggregate of $250,000 in the event the Company consummates one or
more significant corporate transactions. The base annual management fee has not
been increased as a result of any of the Company's acquisitions. The base annual
management fee is also subject to increase for specified cost of living
increases pursuant to which the base annual management fee was most recently
increased in January 1999 from $540,000. If the Company's EBITDA in any year
exceeds management's budgeted EBITDA by 15.0% or more for that year, AMP will be
entitled to receive an additional management fee equal to one half of its base
annual management fee for such year. Because the Company's EBITDA did not exceed
management's budgeted EBITDA by 15.0% in 1999, AMP did not receive this
additional management fee in 1999.

         The base annual management fee payable to AMP will be reduced as the
collective beneficial ownership of Common Stock by the Aurora Partnerships
declines below 50% as follows: for any period during which the collective
beneficial ownership of the Aurora Partnerships is less than 50% but at least
40%, the base annual management fee payable for the period will be 80% of the
original base annual management fee (as such original base annual management fee
may previously have been adjusted due to discretionary increases by the Board of
Directors or cost of living increases as described above, the "Original Fee");
for any period during which the Aurora Partnerships' collective beneficial
ownership is less than 40% but at least 30%, the base annual management fee
payable for the period will be 60% of the Original Fee; and for any period
during which the collective beneficial ownership of the Aurora Partnerships is
less than 30% but at least 20%, the base annual management fee payable for the
period will be 40% of the Original Fee. If the Aurora Partnerships' collective
beneficial ownership declines below 20%, the Management Services Agreement will
terminate. As of March 2, 2000, the collective beneficial ownership of the
Aurora Partnerships for purposes of the Management Services Agreement was
approximately 63%. See Item 12. "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners
and Management."

         If the Company consummates any significant acquisitions or
dispositions, AMP will be entitled to receive a fee from the Company for
investment banking services in connection with the transaction. The fee is equal
to 2.0% of the first $75.0 million of the acquisition consideration (including
debt assumed and current assets retained) and 1.0% of acquisition consideration
(including debt assumed and current assets retained) in excess of $75.0 million.
Since the


                                       62
<PAGE>


Company's formation, it has paid approximately $5.2 million of fees to AMP
for investment banking services in connection with the Company's
acquisitions, including $800,000 for the All Trans acquisition in 1999, which
was paid January 2000.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, no payment will be made to AMP pursuant
to the Management Services Agreement at any time that certain events of default
shall have occurred and be then continuing under any of the Indentures governing
the Senior Notes or the Credit Facility. The Management Services Agreement also
provides that the Company shall provide Aurora Capital Group and its directors,
employees, partners and affiliates with customary indemnification against all
actions not involving gross negligence or willful misconduct.

         In October 1996, the Company granted options for an aggregate of 48,000
shares of Common Stock to Mark C. Hardy (a director of the Company), Kurt Larsen
(a former director of the Company) and two consultants of the Company, all four
of whom were then employees of Aurora Capital Group. These options, which have
an exercise price of $4.67 per share, become exercisable in one-third increments
on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant and expire in
2006. In 1997, 12,000 of these options terminated when Mr. Larsen resigned from
Aurora Capital Group.

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENTS

         The Company has entered into separate but identical indemnification
agreements (the "Indemnification Agreements") with each director and executive
officer of the Company. The Indemnification Agreements provide for, among other
things, the following: (i) indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by
law against any and all expenses (including attorneys' fees and all other costs
and obligations of any nature whatever), judgments, fines, penalties and amounts
paid in settlement (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid
or payable in connection therewith) of any claim, unless the Company determines
that such indemnification is not permitted under applicable law; (ii) the prompt
advancement of expenses to the director or officer, including attorneys' fees
and all other costs, fees, expenses and obligations paid or incurred in
connection with investigating or defending any threatened, pending or completed
action, suit or proceeding related to the fact that such director or officer is
or was a director or officer of the Company or is or was serving at the request
of the Company as a director, officer, employee, trustee, agent or fiduciary of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, employee benefit plan, trust or
other enterprise, and for repayment to the Company if it is found that such
director or officer is not entitled to such indemnification under applicable
law; (iii) a mechanism through which the director or officer may seek court
relief in the event the Company determines that the director or officer is not
permitted to be indemnified under applicable law (and therefore is not entitled
to indemnification under the Indemnification Agreement); and (iv)
indemnification against expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in seeking
to collect from the Company an indemnity claim or advancement of expenses to the
extent successful.
