Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1.	Nature of Business:

American Tire Distributors Holdings, Inc. (also referred to herein as “Holdings”) is a Delaware corporation that owns 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of American Tire Distributors, Inc. (“ATDI”), a Delaware corporation. Holdings has no significant assets or operations other than its ownership of ATDI. The operations of ATDI and its subsidiaries constitute the operations of Holdings presented under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. ATDI has one operating and reportable segment, and is primarily engaged in the wholesale distribution of tires, custom wheels and accessories, and related tire supplies and tools. Unless the context otherwise requires, “Company” herein refers to Holdings and its consolidated subsidiaries.

2.	Basis of Presentation:

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the consolidated operations of the Company and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) as defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) within the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the consolidated unaudited results for the interim periods presented. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the American Tire Distributors Holdings, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2011.

On May 28, 2010, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 20, 2010, the Company was acquired by affiliates of TPG Capital, L.P. (“TPG”) for an aggregate purchase price valued at $1,287.5 million. As a result, the Company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of TPG (the “Merger”). Although the Company continues to operate as the same legal entity subsequent to the acquisition, periods prior to May 28, 2010 reflect the financial position, results of operations, and changes in financial position of the Company prior to the Merger (the “Predecessor”) and periods after May 28, 2010 reflect the financial position, results of operations, and changes in financial position of the Company after the Merger (the “Successor”).

Under the guidance provided by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5J, “New Basis of Accounting Required in Certain Circumstances,” push-down accounting is required when such transactions result in an entity becoming substantially wholly-owned. Under push-down accounting, certain transactions incurred by the acquirer, which would otherwise be accounted for in the accounts of the parent, are “pushed down” and recorded on the financial statements of the subsidiary. Therefore, the basis in shares of common stock of the Company has been pushed down from TPG to the Company. In addition, the Merger was recorded using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the accounting guidance for business combinations and non-controlling interest. The guidance prescribes that the purchase price be allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair market value of such assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition. As a result, periods prior to the Merger are not comparable to subsequent periods due to the difference in the basis of presentation of purchase accounting as compared to historical cost.

The Company’s fiscal year is based on either a 52- or 53-week period ending on the Saturday closest to each December 31. Therefore, the financial results of 53-week fiscal years, and the associated 14-week quarter, will not be comparable to the prior and subsequent 52-week fiscal years and the associated quarters having only 13 weeks. The quarter and six months ended July 2, 2011 for the Successor contain operating results for 13 weeks and 26 weeks, respectively. The month ended July 3, 2010 for the Successor contains operating results for 5 weeks. The two months and five months ended May 28, 2010 for the Predecessor contain operating results for 8 weeks and 21 weeks, respectively.

3.	Acquisitions:

Acquisition of Holdings

On May 28, 2010, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 20, 2010, the Company was acquired by affiliates of TPG for an aggregate purchase price of $1,287.5 million in cash, less the amount of the Company’s funded indebtedness, transaction expenses, aggregate redemption payments with respect to the Company’s outstanding preferred stock, certain holdback amounts plus the amount of estimated cash, plus or minus certain working capital adjustments. The Merger was

financed by $635.0 million in aggregate principle of debt financing as well as common equity capital. In addition, the Company tendered its existing outstanding debt which was subsequently purchased and retired.

The fair value of consideration transferred was as follows:


In thousands	May 28, 2010

Total fair value of consideration paid	$	646,457

The Merger was recorded using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the accounting guidance for business combinations and non-controlling interest. The purchase price has been allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair market value of such assets and liabilities at the date of merger. The allocation of the purchase price is as follows:


In thousands	May 28, 2010
Cash	$	12,242
Restricted cash		9,750
Accounts receivable		207,561

Total liabilities assumed		1,439,888
Net assets acquired		216,176
Goodwill		430,281

Purchase price allocation	$	646,457

The following unaudited pro forma supplementary data for the two months and five months ended May 28, 2010 gives effect to the Merger as if it had occurred on January 3, 2010 (the first day of the Company’s 2010 fiscal year).


	Pro Forma
In thousands	Two Months Ended May 28, 2010			Five Months Ended May 28, 2010
Net sales	$	375,303		$	934,925
Net (loss) income		(8,737	)		(17,505	)

The pro forma supplementary data for the two months and five months ended May 28, 2010 includes $6.4 million and $15.9 million, respectively as an adjustment to historical amortization expense as a result of the valuation of $531.4 million allocated to amortizable intangible assets acquired in the Merger, primarily associated with a customer relationship intangible asset. In addition, the Company has included a reduction in non-recurring transaction expenses related to the Merger of $40.2 million in both the two month and five month periods ended May 28, 2010.

The pro forma supplementary data is provided for informational purposes only and should not be construed to be indicative of the Company’s results of operations had the Merger been consummated on the date assumed and does not project the Company’s results of operations for any future date.

Acquisition of North Central Tire

On April 15, 2011, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with the Bowlus Service Company d/b/a North Central Tire (“NCT”) to acquire 100% of the outstanding capital stock of NCT. NCT owned and operated three distribution centers in Canton, Ohio, Cincinnati, Ohio and Rochester, New York, serving over 2,700 customers. The acquisition was completed on April 29, 2011 and was funded through the Company’s ABL Facility. The Company does not believe the acquisition of NCT is a material transaction subject to the disclosures and supplemental pro forma information required by ASC 805 – Business Combinations. As a result, the information is not presented.

The transaction was recorded using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the accounting guidance for business combinations and non-controlling interest. The purchase price has been allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated preliminary fair market value of such assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition. The Company anticipates completing its purchase price allocations by fiscal year end as certain information regarding fair value allocations become more readily available. A majority of the net assets acquired relates to a customer list intangible asset, which had an acquisition date fair value of $38.2 million. The excess of the purchase price over the preliminary amounts allocated to identifiable assets and liabilities is included in goodwill, and amounted to $25.8 million. The premium in the purchase price paid for the acquisition of NCT reflects the anticipated realization of significant operational and cost synergies in addition to the expansion of our broad product line in the markets served. The purchase of NCT will expand the Company’s market position in Ohio and Western New York.

4.	Inventories:

Inventories consist primarily of automotive tires, custom wheels, tire supplies and tools and are valued at the lower of cost, determined on the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method, or fair market value. The Company performs periodic assessments to determine the existence of obsolete, slow-moving and non-saleable inventories and records necessary provisions to reduce such inventories to net realizable value. A majority of the Company’s tire vendors allow for the return of tire products, subject to certain limitations, specified in supply arrangements with the vendors. In addition, the Company’s inventory is collateral under the ABL Facility. See Note 8 for further information.

5.	Assets Held for Sale:

In accordance with current accounting standards, the Company classifies assets as held for sale in the period in which all held for sale criteria is met. Assets held for sale are reported at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell and are no longer depreciated. At July 2, 2011, assets held for sale totaled $5.8 million, of which $0.8 million were residential properties that were acquired as part of employee relocation packages. The Company is actively marketing these properties and anticipates that they will be sold within a twelve-month period from the date in which they are classified as held for sale.

During the first quarter of 2011, the Company classified a distribution center and former headquarters for Am-Pac Tire Dist., Inc. located in Simi Valley, CA as held for sale. The building had a fair value of $5.0 million and was previously used as a warehouse within the Company’s distribution operations. The distribution operations have been consolidated into other ATDI

facilities that are currently being leased. The Company is actively marketing this property and anticipates that the property will be sold within a twelve-month period from the date in which it was classified as held for sale.

6.	Goodwill:

The Company records as goodwill the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Once the final valuation has been performed for each acquisition, adjustments may be recorded. Goodwill is tested and reviewed annually for impairment during the fourth quarter or whenever there is a significant change in events or circumstances that indicate that the fair value of the asset may be less than the carrying amount of the asset.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill are as follows:


In thousands
Balance, January 1, 2011	$	431,065
Acquisitions		25,801
Purchase accounting adjustments		126

Balance, July 2, 2011	$	456,992

At July 2, 2011, the Company has recorded goodwill of $457.0 million, of which approximately $21 million of net goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes in future periods. The balance primarily relates to the Merger on May 28, 2010, in which $430.3 million was recorded as goodwill. In addition, the Company completed the purchase of substantially all of the assets of Lisac’s of Washington, Inc and 100% of the capital stock of Tire Wholesalers, Inc. during 2010. The aggregate purchase price of these two businesses was funded through the Company’s ABL facility. As a result of the acquisition, the Company recorded $0.9 million as goodwill.

On April 15, 2011, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement to acquire 100% of the outstanding capital stock of NCT. The acquisition was completed on April 29, 2011 and was funded through the Company’s ABL Facility. The purchase price has been allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated preliminary fair market value of such assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition. As a result, the Company initially recorded $25.8 million as goodwill and expects to finalize all fair value adjustments in the fourth quarter. See Note 3 for additional information.

7.	Intangible Assets:

Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested and reviewed annually for impairment during the fourth quarter or whenever there is a significant change in events or circumstances that indicate that the fair value of the asset may be less than the carrying amount of the asset. All other intangible assets with finite lives are being amortized on a straight-line or accelerated basis over periods ranging from one to nineteen years.

The following table sets forth the gross amount and accumulated amortization of the Company’s intangible assets at July 2, 2011 and January 1, 2011:


In thousands	July 2, 2011			January 1, 2011
Customer list	$	572,209		$	533,998
Noncompete agreement		5,566			365
Tradenames		3,168			3,168

Total gross finite-lived intangible assets		580,943			537,531
Accumulated amortization		(63,174	)		(33,037	)

Total net finite-lived intangible assets		517,769			504,494
Tradenames (indefinite-lived)		249,893			249,893

Total	$	767,662		$	754,387

Intangible asset amortization expense was $15.4 million and $30.1 million for the quarter and six months ended July 2, 2011, respectively. As a result of the acquisition of NCT on April 29, 2011, the Company allocated $38.2 million to an indefinite lived

intangible assets associated with a customer list. The intangible asset has a useful life of 19 years and contributed $0.6 million to amortization expense since the acquisition. In addition, the Company allocated $5.2 million to a noncompete agreement.

Estimated amortization expense on existing intangible assets is expected to approximate $32 million for the remaining six months in 2011 and approximately $63 million in 2012, $60 million in 2013, $57 million in 2014 and $48 million in 2015. The Successor recorded $4.8 million of intangible asset amortization expense for the month ended July 3, 2010. The Predecessor recorded $3.0 million and $7.7 million of intangible asset amortization expense for the two months and five months ended May 28, 2010.

8.	Long-term Debt:

The following table presents the Company’s long-term debt at July 2, 2011 and at January 1, 2011:


In thousands	July 2, 2011			January 1, 2011
ABL Facility	$	405,799		$	190,271
Senior Subordinated Notes		200,000			200,000
Senior Secured Notes		247,250			247,084

Less - Current maturities		(224	)		(656	)

Long-term debt	$	867,847		$	651,888

The fair value of the Successor’s long-term senior notes was $480.4 million at July 2, 2011 and $470.6 million at January 1, 2011. The fair value of the long-term senior notes was primarily based upon quoted market values.

ABL Facility

In connection with the acquisition of Holdings on May 28, 2010, ATDI entered into the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as subsequently amended (“ABL Facility”). The agreement provided for a senior secured asset-backed revolving credit facility of up to $450.0 million (of which up to $50.0 million could have been utilized in the form of commercial and standby letters of credit), subject to borrowing base availability. Provided that no default or event of default was then existing or would arise therefrom, the Company had the option to request that the ABL Facility be increased by an amount not to exceed $200.0 million, subject to certain rights of the administrative agent, swingline lender and issuing banks with respect to the lenders providing commitments for such increase. The facility was set to mature on November 28, 2014.

On June 6, 2011, the Company entered into the Second Amendment to Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The second amendment increased the revolving commitments from $450.0 million to $650.0 million, extended the maturity date to June 6, 2016 as well as made certain pricing and other changes to the agreement. The Company maintains the option to request that the ABL Facility be increased by an amount not to exceed $200 million, subject to certain rights of the administrative agent, swingline lender and issuing banks with respect to the lenders providing commitments for such increase. At July 2, 2011, the Company had $405.8 million outstanding under the facility. In addition, the Company had certain letters of credit outstanding in the aggregate amount of $8.1 million, leaving $199.6 million available for additional borrowings.

Borrowings under the ABL Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, either (a) an Adjusted LIBOR rate determined by reference to LIBOR, adjusted for statutory reserve requirements, plus an applicable margin of 2.25% or (b) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (1) the prime commercial lending rate published by the Bank of America, N.A. as its “prime rate” for commercial loans, (2) the federal funds effective rate plus ¹/2 of 1% and (3) the one month-Adjusted LIBOR rate plus 1.0% per annum, plus an applicable margin of 1.25%. The applicable margins under the ABL Facility are subject to step ups and step downs based on average excess borrowing availability under the ABL Facility.

The borrowing base at any time equals the sum (subject to certain reserves and other adjustments) of:

•

85% of eligible accounts receivable; plus

•

The lesser of (a) 70% of the lesser of cost or fair market value of eligible tire inventory and (b) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible tire inventory; plus

•

The lesser of (a) 50% of the lower of cost or market value of eligible non-tire inventory and (b) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible non-tire inventory.

All obligations under the ABL Facility are unconditionally guaranteed by Holdings and substantially all of ATDI’s existing and future, direct and indirect, wholly-owned domestic material restricted subsidiaries, other than Tire Pros Francorp. Obligations under the ABL Facility are also secured by a first-priority lien on inventory, accounts receivable and related assets and a second-priority lien on substantially all other assets, in each case of Holdings, ATDI and the guarantor subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions.

The ABL Facility contains customary covenants, including covenants that restricts the Company’s ability to incur additional debt, grant liens, enter into guarantees, enter into certain mergers, make certain loans and investments, dispose of assets, prepay certain debt, declare dividends, modify certain material agreements, enter into transactions with affiliates or change the Company’s fiscal year. If the amount available for additional borrowing under the ABL Facility is less than the greater of (a) 12.5% of the lesser of (x) the aggregate commitments under the ABL Facility and (y) the borrowing base and (b) $25.0 million, then the Company would be subject to an additional covenant requiring them to meet a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0. As of July 2, 2011, the Company’s additional borrowing availability under the ABL Facility was above the required amount and the Company was therefore not subject to the additional covenants.

Senior Subordinated Notes

On May 28, 2010, ATDI issued Senior Subordinated Notes due June 1, 2018 (“Senior Subordinated Notes”) in an aggregate principal amount of $200.0 million. The Senior Subordinated Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 11.50% per annum. Interest on the Senior Subordinated Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on December 1, 2010. The Senior Subordinated Notes are not redeemable, except as described below, at the option of ATDI prior to June 1, 2013. Thereafter, the Senior Subordinated Notes may be redeemed at any time at the option of ATDI, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days notice at a redemption price of 104.0% of the principal amount if the redemption date occurs between June 1, 2013 and May 31, 2014, 102.0% of the principal amount if the redemption date occurs between June 1, 2014 and May 31, 2015 and 100.0% of the principal amount if the redemption date occurs between June 1, 2015 and May 31, 2016.

Prior to June 1, 2013, ATDI may, at its option, on one or more occasions, redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Subordinated Notes issued at a redemption price equal to 111.5% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, to, but not including, the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more equity offerings; provided that:

(1)

at least 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Subordinated Notes remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption; and

(2)

each such redemption occurs within 120 days of the date of the closing of the related equity offering.

In addition, at any time prior to June 1, 2013, ATDI may redeem all or a part of the Senior Subordinated Notes upon not less than 30 or more than 60 days notice at a redemption price equal to 100.0% of the principal amount of notes to be redeemed, plus the applicable premium (an amount intended to approximate a “make-whole” price based on the price of a U.S. treasury security plus 50 basis points) as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, to, but not including, the redemption date, subject to the rights of holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.

The Senior Subordinated Notes are unconditionally guaranteed by Holdings and substantially all of ATDI’s existing and future, direct and indirect, wholly-owned domestic material restricted subsidiaries, other than Tire Pros Francorp, subject to certain exceptions.

The indenture governing the Senior Subordinated Notes contains covenants that, among other things, limits ATDI’s ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to incur additional debt or issue preferred stock; pay certain dividends or make certain distributions in respect of ATDI’s or repurchase or redeem ATDI’s capital stock; make certain loans, investments or other restricted payments; place restrictions on the ability of ATDI’s subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments to ATDI; engage in transactions with stockholders or affiliates; transfer or sell certain assets; guarantee indebtedness or incur other contingent obligations; incur certain liens without securing the Senior Subordinated Notes; consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of ATDI’s assets; enter into certain transactions with ATDI’s affiliates; and designate ATDI’s subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries.

Senior Secured Notes

On May 28, 2010, ATDI issued Senior Secured Notes (“Senior Secured Notes”) due June 1, 2017 in an aggregate principal amount at maturity of $250.0 million. The Senior Secured Notes were issued at a discount from their principal amount at maturity and generated net proceeds of approximately $240.7 million after debt issuance costs (which represents a non-cash financing activity of $9.3 million). The Senior Secured Notes will accrete based on an effective interest rate of 10% to an aggregate accreted value of $250.0 million, the full principal amount at maturity. The Senior Secured Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 9.75% per annum. Interest on the Senior Secured Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on December 1, 2010. The Senior Secured Notes are not redeemable, except as described below, at the option of ATDI prior to June 1, 2013. Thereafter, the Senior Secured Notes may be redeemed at any time at the option of ATDI, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days notice at a redemption price of 107.313% of the principal amount if the redemption date occurs between June 1, 2013 and May 31, 2014, 104.875% of the principal amount if the redemption date occurs between June 1, 2014 and May 31, 2015, 102.438% of the principal amount if the redemption date occurs between June 1, 2015 and May 31, 2016 and 100.0% of the principal amount if the redemption date occurs between June 1, 2016 and May 31, 2017.

Until June 1, 2013, ATDI may, at its option, on one or more occasions, redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes issued at a redemption price equal to 109.75% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, to, but not including, the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds from one or more equity offerings to the extent that such net cash proceeds are received by or contributed to ATDI; provided that:

(1)

at least 50% of the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption; and

(2)

each such redemption occurs within 120 days of the date of the closing of the related equity offering.

In addition, at any time prior to June 1, 2013, ATDI may redeem all or a part of the Senior Secured Notes upon not less than 30 or more than 60 days notice at a redemption price equal to 100.0% of the principal amount of notes to be redeemed, plus the applicable premium (an amount intended to approximate a “make-whole” price based on the price of a U.S. treasury security plus 50 basis points) as of, plus accrued and unpaid interest, to, but not including, the redemption date, subject to the rights of holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.

The Senior Secured Notes are unconditionally guaranteed by Holdings and substantially all of ATDI’s existing and future, direct and indirect, wholly-owned domestic material restricted subsidiaries, other than Tire Pros Francorp, subject to certain exceptions. The Senior Secured Notes are also collateralized by a second-priority lien on accounts receivable and related assets and a first-priority lien on substantially all other assets (other than inventory), in each case of Holdings, ATDI and the guarantor subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions.

The indenture governing the Senior Secured Notes contains covenants that, among other things, limits ATDI’s ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to incur additional debt or issue preferred stock; pay certain dividends or make certain distributions in respect of ATDI’s or repurchase or redeem ATDI’s capital stock; make certain loans, investments or other restricted payments; place restrictions on the ability of ATDI’s subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments to ATDI; engage in transactions with stockholders or affiliates; transfer or sell certain assets; guarantee indebtedness or incur other contingent obligations; incur certain liens; consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of ATDI’s assets; enter into certain transactions with ATDI’s affiliates; and designate ATDI’s subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries.

9.	Derivative Instruments:

In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to the risk associated with exposure to fluctuations in interest rates on our variable rate debt. These fluctuations can increase the cost of financing, investing and operating the business. The Company has used derivative financial instruments to help manage this risk and reduce the impacts of these exposures and not for trading or other speculative purposes.

On February 24, 2011, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements (“2011 Swaps”) used to hedge a portion of the Company’s exposure to changes in its variable interest rate debt. The swaps in place cover an aggregate notional amount of $75.0 million, of which $25.0 million is at a fixed interest rate of 0.585% and will expire in February 2012 and $50.0 million is at a fixed interest rate of 1.105% and will expire in February 2013. The counterparty to the 2011 Swaps is a major financial institution. The Company recognizes all derivatives on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at their fair value as either assets or liabilities. The 2011 Swaps do not meet the criteria to qualify for hedge accounting treatment; therefore, changes in the fair value of the 2011 Swaps are recognized in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

The following table presents the fair values of the Company’s derivative instruments included within the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of July 2, 2011 and January 1, 2011:


			Liability Derivatives
	Balance Sheet		July 2,		January 1,
In thousands	Location		2011		2011
Derivatives not designated as hedges:
2011 swap - $25 million notional		Accrued expenses	$	49	$	—
2011 swap - $50 million notional		Accrued expenses		505		—

Total			$	554	$	—

The pre-tax effect of the Company’s derivative instruments on the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the Successor and the Predecessor periods was as follows:


	Gain (Loss) Recognized in Interest Expense
	Successor						Predecessor
In thousands	Quarter Ended July 2, 2011		Six Months Ended July 2, 2011		Month Ended July 3, 2010		Two Months Ended May 28, 2010		Five Months Ended May 28, 2010
Derivatives not designated as hedges:
2011 swap - $25 million notional	$	26	$	49	$	—	$	—	$	—
2011 swap - $50 million notional		377		505		—		—		—
2009 swap - $100 million notional		—		—		—		194		(68	)

Total	$	403	$	554	$	—	$	194	$	(68	)

On June 4, 2009, the Predecessor entered into an interest rate swap agreement (the “2009 Swap”) to hedge a portion of the Company’s exposure to changes in its variable interest rate debt. The 2009 Swap covered a notional amount of $100.0 million of the Predecessor’s variable rate indebtedness at a fixed interest rate of 1.45% and was set to expire on June 8, 2011. The counterparty to the 2009 Swap was a major financial institution. The 2009 Swap did not meet the criteria to qualify for hedge accounting treatment; therefore, changes in fair value were recognized in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. On May 28, 2010, in connection with the Merger, the Company terminated the 2009 Swap agreement for $0.9 million.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

The accounting standard for fair value measurements establishes a framework for measuring fair value that is based on the inputs market participants use to determine the fair value of an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy to prioritize those inputs. The fair value hierarchy is comprised of three levels that are described below:

•

Level 1 Inputs - Inputs based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•

Level 2 Inputs - Inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

•

Level 3 Inputs - Unobservable inputs based on little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities.

The fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs are obtained from independent sources and can be validated by a third party, whereas unobservable inputs reflect assumptions regarding what a third party would use in pricing an asset or liability based on the best information available under the circumstances. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The following table presents the fair value and hierarchy levels for the Successor’s assets and liabilities, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of July 2, 2011:


	Fair Value Measurements
In thousands	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Assets:
Benefit trust assets	$	2,382	$	2,382	$	—	$	—

Total	$	2,382	$	2,382	$	—	$	—

Liabilities:
Derivative instruments	$	554	$	—	$	554	$	—

Total	$	554	$	—	$	554	$	—

ASC 820 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company determines fair value of its financial assets and liabilities using the following methodologies:

•

Benefit trust assets – These assets include money market and mutual funds that are the underlying for deferred compensation plan assets, held in a rabbi trust. The fair value of the assets is based on observable market prices quoted in readily accessible and observable markets.

•

Derivative instruments - These instruments consist of interest rate swaps. The fair value is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments from a financial institution that is counterparty to the transaction.

The methodologies used by the Company to determine the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities at July 2, 2011 are the same as those used at January 1, 2011. As a result, there have been no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 categories.

11.

Stock-Based Compensation:

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation awards in accordance with ASC 718 - Compensation, which requires a fair-value based method for measuring the value of stock-based compensation. Fair value is measured once at the date of grant and is not adjusted for subsequent changes. The Company’s stock-based compensation plans include programs for stock options and restricted stock units.

Stock Options

In August 2010, the Company’s indirect parent company adopted a Management Equity Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”), pursuant to which the indirect parent company will grant options to selected employees and directors of the Company. The 2010 Plan provides that a maximum of 48.6 million shares of common stock of the indirect parent company are issuable pursuant to the exercise of options. During 2010, the Company’s indirect parent company granted options under the 2010 Plan to certain eligible participants to purchase 44.5 million shares of common stock of the indirect parent company.

Changes in options outstanding under the 2010 Plan are as follows:


	Number of Shares			Weighted Average Exercise Price
Outstanding - January 1, 2011		44,448,000		$	1.00
Granted		1,900,000			1.00
Cancelled		(648,000	)		1.00

Outstanding - July 2, 2011		45,700,000		$	1.00

Exercisable - July 2, 2011		8,640,000		$	1.00

Options granted under the 2010 Plan expire no later than 10 years from the date of grant and vest based on the passage of time and/or the achievement of certain performance targets in equal installments over three or five years. The fair value of each of the Company’s time-based stock option awards is expensed on a straight-line basis over the required service period, which is generally the three or five-year vesting period of the options. However, for options granted with performance target requirements, compensation expense is recognized when it is probable that the performance target will be achieved.

The weighted average fair value of the stock options granted during the six months ending July 2, 2011 was $0.44 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following weighted average assumptions were used:


Risk-free interest rate	2.41	%
Dividend yield	—
Expected life	6.4 years
Volatility	40.75	%

As the Company does not have sufficient historical volatility data for Holdings own common stock, the stock price volatility utilized in the fair value calculation is based on the Company’s peer group in the industry in which it does business. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield-curve of a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bond on the date the award is granted with a maturity equal to the expected term of the award. Because the Company does not have relevant data available regarding the expected life of the award, the expected life of the award is derived from the Simplified Method as allowed under SAB Topic 14.

Restricted Stock Units (RSUs)

In October 2010, the Company’s indirect parent company adopted the Non-Employee Director Restricted Stock Plan (the “2010 RSU Plan”), pursuant to which the indirect parent company will grant restricted stock units to non-employee directors of the Company. The 2010 RSU Plan provides that a maximum of 0.8 million shares of common stock of the indirect parent may be granted to non-employee directors of the Company. During 2010, the Company’s indirect parent company granted RSUs under the 2010 RSU Plan to certain board members of the Company to purchase 150,000 shares of common stock of the indirect parent company.

The following table summarizes RSU activity under the 2010 RSU Plan for the six months ending July 2, 2011:


	Number of Shares		Weighted Average Exercise Price
Outstanding and unvested - January 1, 2011		150,000	$	1.00
Granted		100,000		1.00
Vested		—		—
Cancelled		—		—

Outstanding and unvested - July 2, 2011		250,000	$	1.00

The fair value of each of the RSU awards is measured as the grant-date price of the common stock and is expensed on a straight-line basis over a two year vesting period.

Compensation Expense

Stock-based compensation expense is included in selling, general and administrative expenses within the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The following table summarizes the expense recognized:


	Successor						Predecessor
In thousands	Quarter Ended July 2, 2011		Six Months Ended July 2, 2011		Month Ended July 3, 2010		Two Months Ended May 28, 2010		Five Months Ended May 28, 2010
Stock Options	$	540	$	1,134	$	—	$	18	$	5,892
Restricted Stock Units		31		52		—		—		—

Total	$	571	$	1,186	$	—	$	18	$	5,892

During 2005, the Predecessor adopted the 2005 Management Stock Incentive Plan, which authorized the issuance of up to 190,857 shares of voting common stock. Options granted under the plan generally vested based on performance targets or the occurrence of specified events, such as an initial public offering or company sale. At January 2, 2010, the Company had 149,015 options outstanding and 67,468 exercisable.

In March 2010, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the discretionary vesting of certain previously unvested stock options. The discretionary vesting was evaluated in conjunction with the accounting standard for modification of stock options and resulted in a non-cash charge to compensation expense of $5.9 million in the first quarter of 2010. No additional options were granted during this period. At May 28, 2010, prior to the Merger, the Company had 144,719 options outstanding and 108,785 exercisable.

As a result of the merger, all of the Company’s stock options that were already vested under the 2005 Management Stock Incentive Plan were converted into the right to receive the excess of $596.65 per share over the exercise price of each of the options. As a consequence, subsequent to the May 28, 2010 transaction date, all options to purchase previously existing common stock ceased to exist and the existing stock option plan was terminated.

12.

Income Taxes:

The effective tax rate for the quarter and six months ended July 2, 2011 and month ended July 3, 2010 for the Successor and the two months and five months ended May 28, 2010 for the Predecessor are based on an annual estimated effective tax rate which takes into account year-to-date amounts and projected results for the full year. The effective tax rate of 42.3% and 41.5% for the Successor quarter and six months ended July 2, 2011, respectively, is higher than the Company’s statutory tax rate primarily due to higher state income taxes, a result based on the Company’s legal entity tax structure. The final effective tax rate for fiscal 2011 will depend on the actual amount of pre-tax income (loss) generated by the Company by tax jurisdiction for the full year.

At July 2, 2011, the Company has a net deferred tax liability of $273.9 million, of which, $14.4 million was recorded as a current deferred tax asset. As part of the Merger, the Predecessor generated substantial tax deductions relating to the exercise of stock options and payments made for transaction bonuses and transaction expenses. These included an acquired non-current deferred tax asset of $11.7 million, which represents the anticipated tax benefits that the Company expects to achieve in future years from such deductions. The remaining net deferred tax liability primarily relates to the expected future tax liability associated with the non-deductible, identified, intangible assets that were recorded during the purchase price allocation less existing tax deductible intangibles, assuming an effective tax rate of 39.3%. In addition, the Company also has an income tax receivable of $9.6 million at July 2, 2011, which primarily relates to deductions that can be carried back two years for federal and state income tax purposes.

At July 2, 2011, the Successor had unrecognized tax benefits of $2.1 million, of which $0.7 million is included within accrued expenses and $1.4 million is included within other liabilities within the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the Successor’s effective tax rate is $1.7 million as of July 2, 2011. In addition, $0.4 million related to temporary timing differences. During the six months ended July 2, 2011, the Company reduced its tax positions by $0.1 million related to the current year.

The Company files federal income tax returns, as well as multiple state jurisdiction tax returns. The tax years 2007 – 2009 remain open to examination by the taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject. The Company records interest and penalties associated with the uncertain tax positions as a component of its income tax provision. During the next 12 months, management does not believe that it is reasonably possible that any of the unrecognized tax benefits may significantly decrease.

While the Company believes that it has adequately provided for all tax positions, amounts asserted by taxing authorities could be greater than the Company’s accrued position. Accordingly, additional provisions of federal and state-related matters could be recorded in the future as revised estimates are made or the underlying matters are settled or otherwise resolved.

13.

Commitments and Contingencies:

Guaranteed Lease Obligations

The Company remains liable as a guarantor on certain leases related to Winston Tire Company. As of July 2, 2011, the Company’s total obligations, as guarantor on these leases, are approximately $4.1 million extending over eight years. However, the Company has secured assignments or sublease agreements for the vast majority of these commitments with contractual assigned or subleased rentals of approximately $3.8 million. A provision has been made for the net present value of the estimated shortfall.

Legal and Tax Proceedings

The Company is involved from time to time in various lawsuits, including class action lawsuits as well as various audits and reviews regarding its federal, state and local tax filings, arising out of the ordinary conduct of its business. Management does not expect that any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business or financial condition. As to tax filings, the Company believes that the various tax filings have been made in a timely fashion and in accordance with applicable federal, state and local tax code requirements. Additionally, the Company believes that it has adequately provided for any reasonably foreseeable resolution of any tax disputes, but will adjust its reserves if events so dictate in accordance with FASB authoritative guidance. To the extent that the ultimate results differ from the original or adjusted estimates of the Company, the effect will be recorded in accordance with the accounting standards for income taxes. See Note 12 for further description of the accounting standards for income taxes and the related impacts.

Subsidiary Guarantor Financial Information:

The following condensed consolidating financial statements are presented pursuant to Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X and reflect the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Predecessor for periods prior to May 28, 2010 and the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Successor for periods after May 28, 2010.

As a result of the Merger on May 28, 2010, the Company repurchased and cancelled all of the Predecessor’s outstanding 10.75% Senior Notes, Floating Rate Notes, and 13% Senior Discount Notes. In addition, ATDI issued $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its Senior Secured Notes and $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its Senior Subordinated Notes. The Senior Secured Notes and the Senior Subordinated Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by Holdings, Am-Pac Tire Dist., Inc. (“Am-Pac”), Tire Wholesalers and NCT. ATDI, Am-Pac, Tire Wholesalers, and NCT are also borrowers and primary obligors under the ABL Facility, which is guaranteed by Holdings. Tire Pros Francorp is not a guarantor of the Senior Secured Notes, the Senior Subordinated Notes or the ABL Facility.

Accordingly, the Company updated the guarantor structure as of May 28, 2010 which resulted in the following column headings:

•

Parent Company (Holdings),

•

Subsidiary Issuer (ATDI),

•

Subsidiary Guarantor (Am-Pac, Tire Wholesalers and NCT) and

•

Non-Guarantor Subsidiary (Tire Pros FranCorp).

ATDI is a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings and Am-Pac, Tire Wholesalers, NCT and Tire Pros FranCorp are indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Holdings. As a result of the Merger, all periods presented have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the post-merger guarantor structure.

Company Overview

We are the leading replacement tire distributor in the United States, providing a critical range of services to enable tire retailers to effectively service and grow sales to consumers. Through our network of 97 distribution centers, we offer access to an extensive breadth and depth of inventory, representing approximately 40,000 stock-keeping units (SKUs), to approximately 50,000 customers. The critical range of services we provide includes frequent and timely delivery of inventory as well as business support services such as credit, training, access to consumer market data and the administration of tire manufacturer affiliate programs. In addition, our customers have access to a leading online ordering and reporting system as well as a website that enables our tire retailer customers to participate in the Internet marketing of tires to consumers. We estimate that our share of the replacement passenger and light truck tire market in the United States (U.S.) is approximately 9%, up from approximately 1% in 1996, with our largest customer and top ten customers accounting for less than 1.9% and 8.0%, respectively, of our net sales in fiscal 2010.

We believe we distribute the broadest product offering in our industry, supplying our customers with the top ten leading passenger and light truck tire brands. We carry the flag brands from each of the four largest tire manufacturers —Bridgestone, Continental, Goodyear, and Michelin — as well as Hankook, Kumho, Nexen, Nitto and Pirelli brands. In addition to flag brands, we also sell lower price point associate brands of these and many other tire manufacturers, as well as proprietary brand tires, custom wheels and accessories and related tire supplies and tools. Our revenues are primarily generated from sales of passenger car and light truck tires, which represent approximately 82.5% of our total net sales for the quarter ended July 2, 2011. The remainder of net sales is primarily derived from other tire sales (13.9%), custom wheels (2.2%), and tire supplies, tools and other products (1.4%). We believe our large, diverse product offering allows us to better penetrate the replacement tire market across a broad range of price points.

Trends and Economic Events

The U.S. replacement tire market has historically experienced stable growth and favorable pricing dynamics. From 1955 through 2010, U.S. replacement tire unit shipments increased by an average of approximately 2.8% per year. However, during challenging economic periods, consumers may opt to defer replacement tire purchases or purchase less costly brand tires. Since the onset of the economic downturn in 2008, we have seen increased economic uncertainty, increased unemployment and rising fuel prices. These factors have impacted the availability of consumer credit and have changed consumer spending of disposable income, thus impacting our business and the industry as a whole.

The economic environment has been showing signs of stabilization. We experienced modest year-over-year unit volume growth in 2010 as well as in the first half of 2011, which reflects an economy slowly reemerging from the severe economic downturn. The return to established driving habits and longer vehicle life has led to moderate growth in the U.S. replacement tire market compared with prior years. However, the price of oil and related fuel prices continues to be volatile and high, potentially affecting miles driven.

Going forward, we believe growth in the U.S. replacement tire market will continue to be driven by favorable underlying dynamics, including:

•

increases in the number and average age of passenger cars and light trucks;

•

increases in the number of miles driven;

•

increases in the number of licensed drivers as the U.S. population continues to grow;

•

increase in the number of replacement tire SKUs;

•

growth of the high performance tire segment; and

•

shortening tire replacement cycles due to changes in product mix that increasingly favor high performance tires, which have shorter average lives.

Despite the current market environment, we have a solid infrastructure, an extensive and efficient distribution network, and a broad product offering. Our growth strategy, coupled with our access to capital and our scalable platform, enables us to continue to expand in existing markets as well as in new geographic areas. In addition, we are investing in technology and new sales channels which will help fuel our future growth. As a result, we believe that we are well positioned to continue to achieve above market results in both contracting and expanding market demand cycles.

Acquisition of Holdings

On May 28, 2010, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 20, 2010, we were acquired by affiliates of TPG Capital, L.P. (“TPG”) for an aggregate purchase price valued at $1,287.5 million. As a result, we became a wholly-owned subsidiary of TPG (the “Merger”). Although we continue to operate as the same legal entity subsequent to the acquisition, periods prior to May 28, 2010 reflect the financial position, results of operations, and changes in financial position of us prior to the Merger (the “Predecessor”) and periods after May 28, 2010 reflect the financial position, results of operations, and changes in financial position of us after the Merger (the “Successor”).

Under the guidance provided by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5J, “New Basis of Accounting Required in Certain Circumstances,” push-down accounting is required when such transactions result in an entity becoming substantially wholly-owned. Under push-down accounting, certain transactions incurred by the acquirer, which would otherwise be accounted for in the accounts of the parent, are “pushed down” and recorded on the financial statements of the subsidiary. Therefore, the basis in shares of our common stock has been pushed down from TPG to us. In addition, the Merger was recorded using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the accounting guidance for business combinations. The guidance prescribes that the purchase price be allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair market value of such assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition. As a result, periods prior to the Merger are not comparable to subsequent periods due to the difference in the basis of presentation of purchase accounting as compared to historical cost.

Recent Developments

In the first six months of 2011, we continued to execute on our plans to expand our distribution services into new domestic geographic markets. During this time, and including the first week of July 2011, we have opened new distribution centers in Seattle, WA, Chicago, IL, Detroit, MI, Cleveland, OH, Totowa, NJ, Philadelphia, PA and Boston, MA. In addition, we opened distribution centers in Cincinnati, OH and Indianapolis, IN during the second half of 2010. We will continue to evaluate additional domestic geographic markets during 2011 and beyond.

On April 15, 2011, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with the Bowlus Service Company d/b/a North Central Tire (“NCT”) to acquire 100% of the outstanding capital stock of NCT. NCT owned and operated three distribution centers in Canton, OH, Cincinnati, OH and Rochester, NY, serving over 2,700 customers. The acquisition was completed on April 29, 2011 and was funded through our ABL Facility. The purchase of NCT will significantly strengthen our market position in Ohio and Western New York.

On June 6, 2011, we entered into the Second Amendment to Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The second amendment increased the revolving commitments from $450.0 million to $650.0 million, extended the maturity date to June 6, 2016 as well as made certain pricing and other changes to the agreement. The Company maintains the option to request that the ABL Facility be increased by an amount not to exceed $200 million, subject to certain rights of the administrative agent, swingline lender and issuing banks with respect to the lenders providing commitments for such increase.

On February 24, 2011, ATDI entered into two interest rate swap agreements (“2011 Swaps”) used to hedge our exposure to changes in our variable interest rate debt. The aggregate notional amount of the 2011 Swaps is $75.0 million, of which $25.0 million will expire in February 2012 and $50.0 million will expire in February 2013. The counterparty to the 2011 Swaps is a major financial institution. We recognize all derivatives on the consolidated balance sheet at their fair value as either assets or liabilities. The 2011 Swaps do not meet the criteria to qualify for hedge accounting treatment; therefore, changes in the fair value of the 2011 Swaps are recorded as adjustments to interest expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

On December 10, 2010, we completed the purchase of substantially all the assets of Lisac’s of Washington, Inc. (“Lisac’s”) pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of December 10, 2010 and 100% of the capital stock of Tire Wholesalers, Inc. (“Tire Wholesalers”) pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of December 10, 2010. Tire Wholesalers operated one distribution center in Kent, WA, which serviced over 750 customers in the area and Lisac’s operated tire distribution centers in Portland, Oregon and Spokane, Washington, serving over 1,400 customers in the area. The aggregate purchase price of these acquisitions was approximately $11 million, which was funded through our ABL Facility. The purchase of Lisac’s and Tire Wholesalers significantly expanded our position in the Northwestern United States.

Results of Operations

Our fiscal year is based on either a 52- or 53-week period ending on the Saturday closest to each December 31. Therefore, the financial results of 53-week fiscal years, and the associated 14-week quarter, will not be comparable to the prior and subsequent 52-week fiscal years and the associated quarters having only 13 weeks. The quarter and six months ended July 2, 2011 for the Successor contain operating results for 13 weeks and 26 weeks, respectively. The month ended July 3, 2010 for the Successor contains operating results for 5 weeks. The two months and five months ended May 28, 2010 for the Predecessor contain operating results for 8 weeks and 21 weeks, respectively.

Quarter Ended July 2, 2011 for the Successor Compared to Month Ended July 3, 2010 for the Successor

Due to the Merger and related change in control, a new entity was created for accounting purposes as of May 28, 2010. As a result, generally accepted accounting principles require us to present separately our operating results for the Predecessor and Successor periods. In the following discussion, results for the quarter ended July 2, 2011 for the Successor are compared and discussed in relation to the month ended July 3, 2010 for the Successor.

The following table sets forth the period change for each category of the statements of operations, as well as each category as a percentage of net sales:


	Successor			Successor			Period Over			Period Over			Percentage of Net Sales
	Quarter Ended			Month Ended			Period Change			Period % Change			For the Respective Period Ended

Net Sales

Net sales for the quarter ended July 2, 2011 for the Successor increased 220.0%, or $524.2 million compared with the month ended July 3, 2010 for the Successor. The increase was directly attributable to the comparison of operating results of a three month period with a one month period. In addition to the increase in tire unit sales attributable to the difference in the number of months in the comparable period, passenger and light truck tire pricing increased by 9.7%. The increase was driven primarily from our passing through tire manufacturer price increases. As well, the combined results of opening new distribution centers and the integration of our recent acquisitions contributed $43.7 million during the second quarter of 2011. However, these increases were partially offset by lower equipment sales of $4.4 million during the quarter ended July 2, 2011 as a result of our 2010 decision to discontinue selling certain products within our equipment product offering.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold for the quarter ended July 2, 2011 for the Successor increased 170.0%, or $396.3 million compared with the month ended July 3, 2010 for the Successor. The increase was directly attributable to the comparison of operating results of a three month period with a one month period. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was 82.6% and 97.8% for the quarter ended July 2, 2011 and the month ended July 3, 2010, respectively. The month ended July 3, 2010 includes $38.2 million related to the non-recurring amortization of the inventory step-up recorded in connection with the Merger. The charge had a 16.0 point

impact on the cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales. Other factors that contributed to the increase in cost of goods sold included higher net tire pricing resulting from manufacturer price increases, higher tire unit sales coupled with the incremental tire units sold through new distribution centers as well as the integration of our recent acquisitions. These increases, however, were partially offset by the reduction in equipment sales during the quarter ended July 2, 2011 as a result of our 2010 decision to discontinue selling certain products within our equipment product offering.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended July 2, 2011 for the Successor increased 243.1%, or $77.1 million compared with the month ended July 3, 2010 for the Successor. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to the comparison of operating results for a three month period with a one month period. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses were 14.3% and 13.3% for the quarter ended July 2, 2011 and the month ended July 3, 2010, respectively. Factors that contributed to the percentage of net sales increase include higher salary and wages, increased incentive compensation expense, increased price per gallon of fuel, costs associated with opening new distribution centers and the integration of our recent acquisitions.

Transaction Expenses

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the quarter ended July 2, 2011 for the Successor increased 222.0% or $11.7 million compared with the month ended July 3, 2010 for the Successor. The increase was primarily attributable to the comparison of operating results of a three month period with a one month period. During the quarter ended July 2, 2011, higher average debt levels on our ABL Facility were partially offset by lower associated interest rates. In addition, the quarter ended July 2, 2011 included $0.4 million associated with the fair value changes of the 2011 Swaps.

Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes

Our income tax provision for the quarter ended July 2, 2011 for the Successor was $2.5 million, which was based on a pre-tax income of $6.0 million. Our income tax benefit for the month ended July 3, 2010 for the Successor was $14.7 million, which was based on a pre-tax loss of $32.3 million. Our effective tax rate for the quarter ended July 2, 2011 and the month ended July 3, 2010 were 42.3% and 45.5%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate primarily relates to reductions in permanent timing differences in 2011 compared with 2010, including debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the Merger. The income tax provision recorded for the second quarter of 2011 has been computed based on year-to-date amounts and projected results for the full year. The final effective tax rate to be applied to fiscal 2011 will depend on the actual amount of pre-tax income (loss) generated by us for the full year.

Quarter Ended July 2, 2011 for the Successor Compared to Two Months Ended May 28, 2010 for the Predecessor

The following table sets forth the period change for each category of the statements of operations, as well as each category as a percentage of net sales:


	Successor			Predecessor			Period Over			Period Over			Percentage of Net Sales
	Quarter Ended			Two Months Ended			Period Change			Period % Change			For the Respective Period Ended

Net Sales

Net sales for the quarter ended July 2, 2011 for the Successor increased 103.2%, or $387.2 million compared with the two months ended May 28, 2010 for the Predecessor. The increase was directly attributable to the comparison of operating results of a three month period with a two month period. In addition to the increase in tire unit sales attributable to the difference in the number of months in the comparable period, passenger and light truck tire pricing increased by 13.1%. The increase was driven primarily from our passing through tire manufacturer price increases. As well, the combined results of opening new distribution centers and the integration of our recent acquisitions contributed $43.7 million during the second quarter of 2011. However, these increases were partially offset by lower equipment sales of $7.2 million during the quarter ended July 2, 2011 as a result of our 2010 decision to discontinue selling certain products within our equipment product offering.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold for the quarter ended July 2, 2011 for the Successor increased 102.7%, or $318.9 million compared with the two months ended May 28, 2010 for the Predecessor. The increase was directly attributable to the comparison of operating results of a three month period with a two month period. Higher tire unit sales attributable to the difference in the number of months in the comparable period coupled with the incremental tire units sold through our new distribution centers and the integration of our recent acquisitions contributed to the increase. In addition, we experienced higher net tire pricing as a result of tire manufacturer price increases. However, these increases were partially offset by a reduction in equipment sales during the quarter ended July 2, 2011 as a result of our 2010 decision to discontinue selling certain products within our equipment product offering. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales decreased from 82.8% to 82.6% for the two months ended May 28, 2010 and the quarter ended July 2, 2011, respectively. This reduction primarily resulted from favorable inventory cost layers that were generated from our passing through tire manufacturer price increases.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended July 2, 2011 for the Successor increased 107.1%, or $56.3 million compared with the two months ended May 28, 2010 for the Predecessor. The increase in selling, general and

administrative expenses was primarily attributable to the comparison of operating results for a three month period with a two month period. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses were 14.3% and 14.0% for the quarter ended July 2, 2011 and the two months ended May 28, 2010, respectively. Increased amortization expense due to the revaluation of the customer list intangible assets established as part of both the Merger and our recent acquisitions was the primary driver of the increase to the percentage of net sales. Other contributing factors included increased price per gallon of fuel as well as additional costs associated with opening new distribution centers and the integration of our recent acquisitions.

Transaction Expenses

Transaction expenses for the quarter ended July 2, 2011 for the Successor were $0.6 million. Amounts recorded primarily relate to acquisition related fees as well as costs incurred in connection with the amendment of our ABL Facility. During the two months ended May 28, 2010, the Predecessor incurred transaction expenses of $40.5 million. These direct acquisition costs included investment banking, legal, accounting and other fees for professional services in connection with the Merger as well as certain financing fees that did not qualify for capitalization.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the quarter ended July 2, 2011 for the Successor decreased 13.4% or $2.6 million compared with the two months ended May 28, 2010 for the Predecessor. The quarter ended July 2, 2011 was impacted by higher debt levels as well as slightly higher interest rates associated with the Successor’s senior debt obligations as compared with the Predecessor’s senior debt obligations. However, during the two months ended May 28, 2010, we wrote off $8.0 million of deferred financing fees related to the Predecessor’s existing debt and accreted the carrying amount of the Predecessor’s redeemable preferred stock to the redemption amount at the date of the Merger, which impacted interest expense by $2.3 million.

Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes

Our income tax provision for the quarter ended July 2, 2011 for the Successor was $2.5 million, which was based on a pre-tax income of $6.0 million. Our income tax benefit for the two months ended May 28, 2010 for the Predecessor was $13.7 million, which was based on a pre-tax loss of $47.9 million. Our effective tax rate for the quarter ended July 2, 2011 and the two months ended May 28, 2010 were 42.3% and 28.6%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate relates to a lower projected pre-tax income (loss) for 2011 as compared with the 2010 pre-tax loss level, which was primarily driven by transaction expenses related to the Merger. In addition, permanent tax differences for redeemable preferred stock extinguished in conjunction with the Merger, which are not deductable for income tax purposes, contributed to reducing the prior period rate. The income tax provision recorded for the second quarter of 2011 has been computed based on year-to-date amounts and projected results for the full year. The final effective tax rate to be applied to fiscal 2011 will depend on the actual amount of pre-tax income (loss) generated by us for the full year.

Six Months Ended July 2, 2011 for the Successor Compared to Month Ended July 3, 2010 for the Successor

Due to the Merger and related change in control, a new entity was created for accounting purposes as of May 28, 2010. As a result, generally accepted accounting principles require us to present separately our operating results for the Predecessor and Successor periods. In the following discussion, results for the six months ended July 2, 2011 for the Successor are compared and discussed in relation to the month ended July 3, 2010 for the Successor.

Net Sales

Net sales for the six months ended July 2, 2011 for the Successor increased 488.9%, or $1,165.0 million compared with the month ended July 3, 2010 for the Successor. The increase was directly attributable to the comparison of operating results of a six month period with a one month period. In addition to the increase in tire unit sales attributable to the difference in the number of months in the comparable period, passenger and light truck tire pricing increased by 6.5%. The increase was driven primarily by manufacturer price increases. As well, the combined results of opening new distribution centers and the integration of our recent acquisitions contributed $54.8 million during the six months ended July 2, 2011. However, these increases were partially offset by lower equipment sales of $4.4 million during the six months ended July 2, 2011 as a result of our 2010 decision to discontinue selling certain products within our equipment product offering.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold for the six months ended July 2, 2011 for the Successor increased 398.6%, or $929.3 million compared with the month ended July 3, 2010 for the Successor. The increase was directly attributable to the comparison of operating results of a six month period with a one month period. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was 82.8% and 97.8% for the six months ended July 2, 2011 and the month ended July 3, 2010, respectively. The month ended July 3, 2010 includes $38.2 million related to the non-recurring amortization of the inventory step-up recorded in connection with the Merger. The charge had a 16.0 point impact on cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales. Other factors that contributed to the increase in cost of goods sold included higher net tire pricing resulting from manufacturer price increases, higher tire unit sales coupled with the incremental tire units sold through new distribution centers as well as the integration of our recent acquisitions. However, the increases were partially offset by the reduction in net sales within our equipment product offering during the six months ended July 2, 2011 as a result of our 2010 decision to discontinue selling certain products within our equipment product offering.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended July 2, 2011 for the Successor increased 556.9%, or $176.7 million compared with the month ended July 3, 2010 for the Successor. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to the comparison of operating results for a six month period with a one month period. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses were 14.8% and 13.3% for the six months ended July 2, 2011 and the month ended July 3, 2010, respectively. Factors that contributed to the percentage of net sales increase include higher salaries and wages, increased incentive compensation expense, increased price per gallon of fuel, costs associated with opening new distribution centers and the integration of our recent acquisitions.

Transaction Expenses

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the six months ended July 2, 2011 for the Successor increased 535.1% or $28.2 million compared with the month ended July 3, 2010 for the Successor. The increase was primarily attributable to the comparison of operating results of a six month period with a one month period. During the six months ended July 2, 2011, higher average debt levels on our ABL Facility were partially offset by lower associated interest rates. In addition, the six months ended July 2, 2011 included $0.6 million associated with the fair value changes of the 2011 Swaps.

Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes

Our income tax benefit for the six months ended July 2, 2011 for the Successor was $1.5 million, which was based on a pre-tax loss of $3.5 million. Our income tax benefit for the month ended July 3, 2010 for the Successor was $14.7 million, which was based on a pre-tax loss of $32.3 million. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended July 2, 2011 and the month ended July 3, 2010 were 41.5% and 45.5%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate primarily relates to reductions in permanent timing differences in 2011 compared with 2010, including debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the Merger. The income tax benefit recorded for the first six months of 2011 has been computed based on year-to-date amounts and projected results for the full year. The final effective tax rate to be applied to fiscal 2011 will depend on the actual amount of pre-tax income (loss) generated by us for the full year.

Six Months Ended July 2, 2011 for the Successor Compared to Five Months Ended May 28, 2010 for the Predecessor

Due to the Merger and related change in control, a new entity was created for accounting purposes as of May 28, 2010. As a result, generally accepted accounting principles require us to present separately our operating results for the Predecessor and Successor periods. In the following discussion, results for the six months ended July 2, 2011 for the Successor are compared and discussed in relation to the five months ended May 28, 2010 for the Predecessor.

The following table sets forth the period change for each category of the statements of operations, as well as each category as a percentage of net sales:


	Successor			Predecessor			Period Over			Period Over			Percentage of Net Sales

Net Sales

Net sales for the six months ended July 2, 2011 for the Successor increased 50.1%, or $468.4 million compared with the five months ended May 28, 2010 for the Predecessor. The increase was directly attributable to the comparison of operating results of a six month period with a five month period. In addition to the increase in tire unit sales attributable to the difference in the number of months in the comparable periods, passenger and light truck tire pricing increased by 12.0%. The increase was driven primarily by manufacturer price increases. As well, the combined results of opening new distribution centers and the integration of our recent acquisitions contributed $54.8 million during the six months ended July 2, 2011. However, these increases were partially offset by lower equipment sales of $16.2 million during the six months ended July 2, 2011 as a result of our 2010 decision to discontinue selling certain products within our equipment product offering.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold for the six months ended July 2, 2011 for the Successor increased 49.9%, or $386.7 million compared with the five months ended May 28, 2010 for the Predecessor. The increase was directly attributable to the comparison of operating results of a six month period with a five month period. Higher tire unit sales attributable to the difference in the number of months in the comparable period coupled with the incremental tire units sold through our new distribution centers and the integration of our recent acquisitions contributed to the increase. In addition, we experienced higher net tire pricing as a result of tire manufacturer price increases. However, these increases were partially offset by a reduction in equipment sales during the six months ended July 2, 2011 as a result of our 2010 decision to discontinue selling certain products within our equipment product offering. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales decreased from 83.0% to 82.8% for the five months ended May 28, 2010 and the six months ended July 2, 2011, respectively. This reduction primarily resulted from favorable inventory cost layers that were generated from our passing through tire manufacturer price increases.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended July 2, 2011 for the Successor increased 54.2%, or $73.2 million compared with the five months ended May 28, 2010 for the Predecessor. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to the comparison of operating results for a six month period with a five month period. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses were 14.8% and 14.5% for the six months ended July 2, 2011 and the five months ended May 28, 2010, respectively. Increased amortization expense due to the revaluation of the customer list intangible assets established as part of both the Merger and our recent acquisitions was the primary driver of the increase to the percentage of net sales. Other contributing factors include higher salaries and wages, increased incentive compensation expense, increased price per gallon of fuel as well as additional costs associated with opening new distribution centers and the integration of our recent acquisitions. In addition, the five months ended May 28, 2010 includes $5.9 million of stock based compensation expense related to the discretionary vesting of certain previously unvested stock options.

Transaction Expenses

Transaction expenses for the six months ended July 2, 2011 for the Successor were $1.6 million. Amounts recorded relate to acquisition fees as well as costs incurred in connection with both the amendment of our ABL Facility and the registration of our Senior Secured Notes with the SEC. During the five months ended May 28, 2010, the Predecessor incurred transaction costs of $42.6 million. These direct acquisition costs included investment banking, legal, accounting and other fees for professional services in connection with the Merger as well as certain financing fees that did not qualify for capitalization. Also included in this amount was $2.4 million related to our now suspended public offering of our common stock.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the six months ended July 2, 2011 for the Successor increased 2.6% or $0.9 million compared with the five months ended May 28, 2010 for the Predecessor. The increase was primarily attributable to the comparison of operating results of a six month period with a five month period. The six months ended July 2, 2011 was impacted by higher debt levels as well as slightly higher interest rates associated with the Successor’s senior debt obligations as compared with the Predecessor’s senior debt obligations. However, during the five months ended May 28, 2010, we wrote off $8.0 million of deferred financing fees related to the Predecessor’s existing debt and accreted the carrying amount of the Predecessor’s redeemable preferred stock to the redemption amount at the date of the Merger, which impacted interest expense by $2.3 million.

Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes

Our income tax benefit for the six months ended July 2, 2011 for the Successor was $1.5 million, which was based on a pre-tax loss of $3.5 million. Our income tax benefit for the five months ended May 28, 2010 for the Predecessor was $15.2 million, which was based on a pre-tax loss of $51.3 million. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended July 2, 2011 and the five months ended May 28, 2010 were 41.5% and 29.7%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate relates to a lower projected pre-tax income (loss) for 2011 as compared with the 2010 pre-tax loss level, which was primarily driven by transaction expenses related to the Merger. In addition, permanent tax differences for redeemable preferred stock extinguished in conjunction with the Merger, which are not deductable for income tax purposes, contributed to reducing the prior period rate. The income tax benefit recorded for the first six months of 2011 has been computed based on year-to-date amounts and projected results for the full year. The final effective tax rate to be applied to fiscal 2011 will depend on the actual amount of pre-tax income (loss) generated by us for the full year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

The following table contains several key measures to gauge our financial condition and liquidity:


In thousands	July 2, 2011			January 1, 2011
Cash and cash equivalents	$	19,248		$	11,971
Working capital		447,872			270,332
Total debt		868,071			652,544
Total stockholders’ equity		650,998			651,446
Debt-to-capital ratio		57.1	%		50.0	%

Debt-to-capital ratio = total debt / (total debt plus total stockholders’ equity)

We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund our operating, investing and financing activities. In doing so, we review and analyze our current cash on hand, the number of days our sales are outstanding, inventory turns, capital expenditures commitments and income tax rates. Our cash requirements consist primarily of the following:

•

Debt service requirements

•

Funding of working capital

•

Funding of capital expenditures

Our primary sources of liquidity include cash flows from operations and our availability under our ABL Facility. We expect our cash flow from operations, combined with availability under our ABL Facility, to provide sufficient liquidity to fund our current obligations, projected working capital requirements, restructuring obligations and capital spending during the next twelve month period. In addition, we expect our cash flow from operations and our availability under our newly amended ABL Facility, which now matures on June 6, 2016, to continue to provide sufficient liquidity to fund our ongoing obligations, projected working capital requirements, restructuring obligations and capital spending during the foreseeable future.

As a result of the Merger, we are significantly leveraged. Accordingly, our liquidity requirements are significant, primarily due to our debt service requirements. As of July 2, 2011, our total indebtedness is $868.1 million. Our cash interest payments for the six months ended July 2, 2011 for the Successor, the month ended July 3, 2010 for the Successor and the five months ended May 28, 2010 for the Predecessor was $31.2 million, $0.8 million and $26.2 million, respectively. As of July 2, 2011, we have an additional $199.6 million of availability under our ABL Facility. The availability under our ABL Facility is determined in accordance with a borrowing base which can decline due to various factors. Therefore, amounts under our ABL Facility may not be available when we need them.

Our liquidity and our ability to fund our capital requirements is dependent on our future financial performance, which is subject to general economic, financial and other factors that are beyond our control and many of which are described under “Item 1A—Risk Factors” in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K. If those factors significantly change or other unexpected factors adversely affect us, our business may not generate sufficient cash flow from operations or we may not be able to obtain future financings to meet our liquidity needs. We anticipate that to the extent additional liquidity is necessary to fund our operations, it would be funded through borrowings under our ABL Facility, the incurrence of other indebtedness, additional equity financings or a combination of these potential sources of liquidity. We may not be able to obtain this additional liquidity on terms acceptable to us or at all.

Cash Flows

Due to the Merger and related change in control, a new entity was created for accounting purposes as of May 28, 2010. As a result, generally accepted accounting principles require us to present separately our operating results for the Predecessor and Successor periods. In the following discussion, our cash flow results for the six months ended July 2, 2011 for the Successor are compared and discussed in relation to the month ended July 3, 2010 for the Successor as well as with the five months ended May 28, 2010 for the Predecessor.

The following table sets forth the major categories of cash flows:


	Successor						Predecessor
In thousands	Six Months Ended July 2, 2011			Month Ended July 3, 2010			Five Months Ended May 28, 2010
Cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	(126,116	)	$	(55,164	)	$	28,106
Cash provided by (used in) investing activities		(73,286	)		(1,911	)		(7,523	)
Cash provided by (used in) financing activites		206,679			56,828			(15,631	)

Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents		7,277			(247	)		4,952
Cash and cash equivalents - beginning of period		11,971			12,242			7,290

Cash and cash equivalents - end of period	$	19,248		$	11,995		$	12,242

Cash payments for interest	$	31,151		$	796		$	26,188
Cash payments for taxes, net	$	951		$	3		$	1,122

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended July 2, 2011 for the Successor was $126.1 million. During the six months, working capital requirements for the Successor resulted in a cash outflow of $155.8 million, primarily driven by an increase in inventory of $195.2 million. The increase reflects our decision to increase manufacturer safety stock amounts as a result of tight supply levels with most of our manufacturers, the additional cost of stocking seven new distribution centers, the impact of manufacturer price increases on the replenishment of our inventory as well as the seasonal nature of our business. In addition, the combined impact of stocking new distribution centers and our recent acquisitions also contributed to the inventory increase. Also, higher sales volumes led to a $55.0 million increase to accounts receivable. However, these amounts were partially offset by a $97.4 million increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses primarily associated with the timing of vendor payments and accrued interest on our senior notes, respectively.

Net cash used in operating activities for the month ended July 3, 2010 for the Successor was $55.2 million. During the month, working capital requirements for the Successor resulted in a cash outflow of $61.2 million. Accounts receivable and inventory increased $16.4 million and $10.6 million, respectively, as the increase in sales volume reflected the seasonal nature of our business. The decrease in accounts payable primarily resulted from the timing of vendor payments.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the five months ended May 28, 2010 for the Predecessor was $28.1 million. During the five months, working capital requirements for the Predecessor resulted in a cash inflow of $31.0 million. The increase, primarily driven by an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $96.4 million, reflects the accrual for transaction costs associated with the Merger of $42.6 million as well as timing of vendor payments. These amounts were partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable and inventory as the increase in sales volume reflected the seasonal nature of our business.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended July 2, 2011 for the Successor was $73.3 million. During the six months, cash outflows for acquisitions totaled $62.4 million. In addition, we invested $10.0 million in property and equipment purchases, which included information technology upgrades, IT application development and warehouse racking. During the month ended July 3, 2010 for the Successor and the five months ended May 28, 2010 for the Predecessor, capital expenditures for property and equipment were $1.9 million and $6.4 million, respectively. The expenditures included information technology upgrades, IT application development and leasehold improvements.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended July 2, 2011 for the Successor was $206.7 million. The inflow was primarily related to higher net borrowings from our ABL Facility due to the increase in working capital requirements as well as cash paid for acquisitions. In addition, during the six months, we paid $5.9 million related to the amendment of our ABL Facility.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the month ended July 3, 2010 for the Successor was $56.8 million. The inflow was primarily related to the proceeds from the issuance of our Senior Secured Notes and our Senior Subordinated Notes. The

proceeds were partially offset by the repayment of our previously outstanding senior notes and redeemable preferred stock. Also contributing to the increase were higher net borrowings from our ABL Facility related to increased working capital requirements. However, they were more than offset by payments for transaction fees and deferred financing costs paid in connection with the Merger.

Net cash used in financing activities for the five months ended May 28, 2010 for the Predecessor was $15.6 million. The outflow primarily related to the timing of outstanding checks. In addition, higher borrowings from our ABL Facility were partially offset by a $6.3 million payment related to the Predecessor’s Senior Notes.

Supplemental Disclosures of Cash Flow Information

Cash payments for interest during the six months ended July 2, 2011 for the Successor were $31.2 million, which included $23.7 million related to interest payments on our Senior Notes and $6.1 million related to our ABL Facility. Cash payments for the month ended July 3, 2010 for the Successor was $0.8 million. The increase is primarily related to the comparison of a six month period to a one month period. Cash payments for the five months ended May 28, 2010 was $26.2 million for the Predecessor, which included $1.8 million related to our ABL Facility as well as $20.9 million related to Senior Notes and $2.5 million related to our Swaps, both of which were cancelled in connection with the Merger. The increase primarily related to the comparison of a six month period with a five month period in addition to higher debt levels during the six months ended July 2, 2011.

Cash payments for taxes during the six months ended July 2, 2011 for the Successor were $1.0 million, compared with $0.0 million paid during the month ended July 3, 2010 for the Successor and compared with $1.1 million paid during the five months ended May 28, 2010 for the Predecessor. The differences between the periods primarily relate to the balance and timing of income tax extension payments.

ABL Facility

In connection with the acquisition of Holdings on May 28, 2010, ATDI entered into the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as subsequently amended (“ABL Facility”). The agreement provided for a senior secured asset-backed revolving credit facility of up to $450.0 million (of which up to $50.0 million could have been utilized in the form of commercial and standby letters of credit), subject to borrowing base availability. Provided that no default or event of default was then existing or would arise therefrom, we had the option to request that the ABL Facility be increased by an amount not to exceed $200.0 million, subject to certain rights of the administrative agent, swingline lender and issuing banks with respect to the lenders providing commitments for such increase. The facility was set to mature on November 28, 2014.

On June 6, 2011, we entered into the Second Amendment to Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The second amendment increased the revolving commitments from $450.0 million to $650.0 million, extended the maturity date to June 6, 2016 as well as made certain pricing and other changes to the agreement. We maintain the option to request that the ABL Facility be increased by an amount not to exceed $200 million, subject to certain rights of the administrative agent, swingline lender and issuing banks with respect to the lenders providing commitments for such increase. At July 2, 2011, we had $405.8 million outstanding under the facility. In addition, we had certain letters of credit outstanding in the aggregate amount of $8.1 million, leaving $199.6 million available for additional borrowings.

Borrowings under the ABL Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, either (a) an Adjusted LIBOR rate determined by reference to LIBOR, adjusted for statutory reserve requirements, plus an applicable margin of 2.25% or (b) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (1) the prime commercial lending rate published by the Bank of America, N.A. as its “prime rate” for commercial loans, (2) the federal funds effective rate plus ¹/2 of 1% and (3) the one month-Adjusted LIBOR rate plus 1.0% per annum, plus an applicable margin of 1.25%. The applicable margins under the ABL Facility are subject to step ups and step downs based on average excess borrowing availability under the ABL Facility.

The borrowing base at any time equals the sum (subject to certain reserves and other adjustments) of:

•

85% of eligible accounts receivable; plus

•

The lesser of (a) 70% of the lesser of cost or fair market value of eligible tire inventory and (b) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible tire inventory; plus

•

The lesser of (a) 50% of the lower of cost or market value of eligible non-tire inventory and (b) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible non-tire inventory.

The ABL Facility contains customary covenants, including covenants that restricts our ability to incur additional debt, grant liens, enter into guarantees, enter into certain mergers, make certain loans and investments, dispose of assets, prepay certain debt, declare dividends, modify certain material agreements, enter into transactions with affiliates or change our fiscal year. If the amount available for additional borrowing under the ABL Facility is less than the greater of (a) 12.5% of the lesser of (x) the aggregate commitments under the ABL Facility and (y) the borrowing base and (b) $25.0 million, then we would be subject to an additional covenant requiring them to meet a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0. As of July 2, 2011, our additional borrowing availability under the ABL Facility was above the required amount and we were therefore not subject to the additional covenants.

Senior Secured Notes

On May 28, 2010, ATDI issued Senior Secured Notes (“Senior Secured Notes”) due June 1, 2017 in an aggregate principal amount at maturity of $250.0 million. The Senior Secured Notes were issued at a discount from their principal amount at maturity and generated net proceeds of approximately $240.7 million after debt issuance costs (which represents a non-cash financing activity of $9.3 million). The Senior Secured Notes will accrete based on an effective interest rate of 10% to an aggregate accreted value of $250.0 million, the full principal amount at maturity. The Senior Secured Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 9.75%. Interest on the Senior Secured Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on December 1, 2010. The Senior Secured Notes are not redeemable, except as described below, at the option of ATDI prior to June 1, 2013. Thereafter, the Senior Secured Notes may be redeemed at any time at the option of ATDI, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days notice at a redemption price of 107.313% of the principal amount if the redemption date occurs between June 1, 2013 and May 31, 2014, 104.875% of the principal amount if the redemption date occurs between June 1, 2014 and May 31, 2015, 102.438% of the principal amount if the redemption date occurs between June 1, 2015 and May 31, 2016 and 100.0% of the principal amount if the redemption date occurs between June 1, 2016 and May 31, 2017.

(1)

at least 50% of the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption; and

(2)

each such redemption occurs within 120 days of the date of the closing of the related equity offering.

Senior Subordinated Notes

(1)

at least 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Subordinated Notes remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption; and

(2)

each such redemption occurs within 120 days of the date of the closing of the related equity offering.

Adjusted EBITDA

We report our financial results in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (GAAP). In addition, we present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental financial measure in order to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that should be considered supplemental to, not a substitute for or superior to, the financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. It has limitations

in that it does not reflect all of the costs associated with the operations of our business as determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, this measure may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures reported by other companies. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides important supplemental information to both management and investors regarding financial and business trends used in assessing our financial condition and cash flow. As a result, one should not consider Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as a substitute for our results reported under GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by analyzing results on a GAAP basis as well as on a non-GAAP basis, predominantly disclosing GAAP results and providing reconciliations from GAAP results to non-GAAP results.

The following table shows a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA from the most directly comparable GAAP measure, net income (loss) in order to show the differences in these measures of operating performance:

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no significant off balance sheet arrangements, other than liabilities related to leases of Winston Tire Company (“Winston Tire”) that we guaranteed when we sold Winston Tire in 2001. As of July 2, 2011, our total obligations as guarantor on these leases are approximately $4.1 million extending over eight years. However, we have secured assignments or sublease agreements for the vast majority of these commitments with contractually assigned or subleased rentals of approximately $3.8 million as of July 2, 2011. A provision has been made for the net present value of the estimated shortfall. The accrual for lease liabilities could be materially affected by factors such as the credit worthiness of lessors, assignees and sublessees and our success at negotiating early termination agreements with lessors. These factors are significantly dependent on general economic conditions. While we believe that our current estimates of these liabilities are adequate, it is possible that future events could require significant adjustments to those estimates.

Critical Accounting Polices and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported. Please see the discussion of critical accounting policies and estimates in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. During the six months ended July 2, 2011, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies.

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).” ASU No. 2011-04 represents converged guidance between U.S. GAAP and IFRS resulting in common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. This new guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 and subsequent interim periods. We are currently assessing the impact, if any, on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” ASU No. 2011-05 requires us to present components of other comprehensive income and of net income in one continuous statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate, but consecutive statements. The option to report other comprehensive income within the statement of equity has been removed. This new presentation will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 and subsequent interim periods.

In January 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements” an amendment to Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” This amendment requires an entity to: (i) disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers, (ii) disclose separately the reasons for any transfers in and out of Level 3, and (iii) present separate information for Level 3 activity pertaining to gross purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements. ASU No. 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, with one new disclosure effective after December 15, 2010. We adopted this guidance in full beginning with the interim period ended April 3, 2010, except for the gross presentation of Level 3 rollforward information which we adopted in the interim period ended April 2, 2011.

Cautionary Statements on Forward-Looking Information

This Form 10-Q, including the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” contains forward-looking statements relating to our business and financial outlook that are based on our current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue” or other comparable terminology.

These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties, estimates and assumptions. Actual outcomes and results may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on any of these forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any such statement to reflect new information, or the occurrence of future events or changes in circumstances, after we distribute this Form 10-Q, except as required by the federal securities laws. Many factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements or could contribute to such differences including:

•

general business and economic conditions in the United States and other countries, including uncertainty as to changes and trends;

•

our ability to develop and implement the operational and financial systems needed to manage our operations;

•

our ability to execute key strategies, including pursuing acquisitions and successfully integrating and operating acquired companies;

•

the ability of our customers and suppliers to obtain financing related to funding their operations in the current economic market;

•

the financial condition of our customers, many of which are small businesses with limited financial resources;

•

changing relationships with customers, suppliers and strategic partners;

•

changes in state or federal laws or regulations affecting the tire industry;

•

impacts of competitive products and changes to the competitive environment;

•

acceptance of new products in the market; and

•

unanticipated expenditures.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Our results of operations are exposed to changes in interest rates primarily with respect to our ABL Facility. Interest on the ABL Facility is tied to Base Rate, as defined, or LIBOR. At July 2, 2011, we had $405.8 million outstanding under our ABL Facility, of which $330.8 million was not hedged by an interest rate swap agreement and was thus subject to interest rate changes. An increase of 1% in such interest rate percentages would increase our annual interest expense by $3.3 million, based on the outstanding balance of the ABL Facility that has not been hedged at July 2, 2011.

On February 24, 2011, ATDI entered into two interest rate swap agreements (“Swaps”) used to hedge our exposure to changes in our variable interest rate debt. The aggregate notional amount of the Swaps is $75.0 million, of which $25.0 million will expire in February 2012 and $50.0 million will expire in February 2013. The counterparty to the Swaps is a major financial institution. We recognize all derivatives on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at their fair value as either assets or liabilities. The Swaps do not meet the criteria to qualify for hedge accounting treatment; therefore, changes in the fair value of the Swaps are recognized in interest expense within the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The fair value of the Swaps was a liability of $0.6 million at July 2, 2011 and is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. See Note 9 in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

(a)

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, recognizes that any set of controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

(b)

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at a reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended July 2, 2011, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We are, however, currently implementing a conversion of our legacy computer system to Oracle. We have already implemented the general ledger as well as the accounts payable, inventory and accounts receivable functions on Oracle but still must transition other key functions. We cannot be sure that the transition will be fully implemented on a timely basis, if at all. If we do not successfully implement this project, our controls over financial reporting may be disrupted and our operations adversely affected.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

We are involved from time to time in various lawsuits, including alleged class action lawsuits arising out of the ordinary conduct of our business. Although no assurances can be given, we do not expect that any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition. We are also involved in various litigation proceedings incidental to the ordinary course of our business. We believe, based on consultation with legal counsel, that none of these will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

There have been no material changes to any risk factor disclosed in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K.
