MONRO MUFFLER BRAKE, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 - CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The consolidated balance sheet as of September 27, 2003, the consolidated statements of income for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended September 27, 2003 and September 28, 2002 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the twenty-six week periods ended September 27, 2003 and September 28, 2002 and the consolidated statement of changes in shareholders' equity for the twenty-six week period ended September 27, 2003 include Monro Muffler Brake, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the "Company"). These financial statements have been prepared by the Company and are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the quarter ended September 27, 2003, and for all periods presented have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 29, 2003. The results of operations for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended September 27, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. The Company reports its results on a 52/53 week fiscal year with the fiscal year ending on the last Saturday in March of each year. The following are the dates represented by each fiscal period reported in these condensed financial statements: <TABLE> <CAPTION> <S> <C> "Quarter Ended Fiscal September 2003": June 29, 2003 - September 27, 2003 (13 weeks) "Quarter Ended Fiscal September 2002": June 30, 2002 - September 28, 2002 (13 weeks) "Six Months Ended Fiscal September 2003": March 30, 2003 - September 27, 2003 (26 weeks) "Six Months Ended Fiscal September 2002": March 31, 2002 - September 28, 2002 (26 weeks) </TABLE> Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year's consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year's presentation. RESTATEMENT During fiscal years 1999 to 2001, the Company sublet or sold a total of 14 closed store properties to Icon International, a barter company. In connection with the preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2003, the Company revised the original accounting for these barter transactions and the resulting barter credits. Accordingly, the Company's financial statements as of September 2002 reflect a cumulative $2.4 million reduction to retained earnings, after related income taxes of $1.6 million, to record the impairment charge related to the store closures in fiscal 1998 through 2000. Further, operating, selling, general and administrative expenses for the fiscal quarter ended September 2002 were reduced by $64,000, resulting in an increase in net income of $40,000 (no change to diluted earnings per share for the quarter) from that previously reported to $4,905,000 or $.52 per diluted share, related to the recognition of barter credits utilized by the Company during that quarter. For the six month period last year, operating, selling, general and administrative expenses were reduced by $136,000, resulting in an increase in net income of $85,000 related to the barter accounting. In addition, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company revised its original accounting for the restructuring reserve that was established in connection with its acquisition of 189 company-operated and 14 franchised Speedy stores in fiscal 1999. The revision recorded the operating results of 41 stores it closed in fiscal 1999 and 2000 in connection with that acquisition, and certain other costs, in its fiscal 1999 and 2000 income statements instead of providing for these costs in the restructuring reserve as originally recorded. Accordingly, the Company's financial statements reflect a cumulative $.8 million reduction of retained earnings at September 2002, after related income taxes of $.5 million. There was no impact on the Company's reported net income for the three and six month periods ended September 2002 from this revision. 7
MONRO MUFFLER BRAKE, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The Company's financial statements as of and for the quarter ended September 2002 reflect adjustments to the following items in connection with the accounting revisions discussed above. <TABLE> <CAPTION> QUARTER ENDED FISCAL SEPTEMBER SIX MONTHS ENDED FISCAL SEPTEMBER -------------------------------- ----------------------------------- 2002 2002 2002 2002 ---- ---- ---- ---- AS AS PREVIOUSLY AS PREVIOUSLY AS Financial statement caption REPORTED RESTATED REPORTED RESTATED -------- -------- -------- -------- (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT FOR PER SHARE AMOUNTS) <S> <C> <C> <C> <C> CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF INCOME Operating, selling, general and administrative expenses $ 20,090 $ 20,026 $ 43,061 $42,925 Operating income 8,521 8,585 15,445 15,581 Income before provision for income taxes 7,847 7,912 14,156 14,292 Provision for income taxes 2,982 3,007 5,830 5,431 Net income 4,865 4,905 8,776 8,861 Earnings per share - basic $ .57 $ .58 $ 1.04 $ 1.05 Earnings per share - diluted $ .52 $ .52 $ .93 $ .94 CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET Other current assets $ 9,111 $ 8,582 Total current assets 62,281 61,786 Property, plant and equipment 214,821 213,885 Accumulated depreciation and amortization (86,991) (86,483) Net property, plant and equipment 127,830 127,402 Intangible assets and other non-current assets 12,872 10,270 Total assets 202,983 199,458 Other current liabilities 9,979 11,149 Total current liabilities 51,448 52,618 Other long-term liabilities 2,785 3,328 Deferred income tax liability 2,083 Total liabilities 81,408 81,038 Retained earnings 83,085 79,930 Total shareholders' equity 121,575 118,420 Total liabilities and shareholders' equity 202,983 199,458 CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS Net change in deferred income taxes $ (605) $ (554) Increase in other current assets (1,422) (1,436) Increase in other noncurrent assets (80) (11) Decrease in other long-term liabilities (809) (1,001) Total adjustments 11,340 11,254 </TABLE> NOTE 2 - BUYOUT OF SYNTHETIC LEASE PROPERTIES On June 27, 2003, the Company purchased the land and buildings under its existing synthetic lease facility through the acquistion of the general and limited partnership interests in Brazos Automotive Properties, L.P. ("BAP"), for approximately $935,000 in cash (the "Lease Buyout"). The Lease Buyout was financed through the Company's existing credit facility. BAP holds the title 8
MONRO MUFFLER BRAKE, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS related to 86 properties leased, under an operating lease, to a subsidiary of the Company and used in the conduct of the Company's auto service business. BAP is also the debtor on a $26.6 million loan related to these properties. BAP, which became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company as a result of the Lease Buyout, was established in 1998 for the purpose of acquiring certain properties and leasing them to the Company. As a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, BAP has been consolidated into the Company's balance sheet since the date of its acquisition. Accordingly, land and buildings at fair value of approximately $27.5 million have been reflected on the Company's balance sheet. Additionally, long-term debt of $26.6 million has also been reflected. The debt is non-amortizing and is due in September 2006. The Company estimates that annual depreciation expense related to the assets acquired in the Lease Buyout will be approximately $500,000. These depreciation charges commenced in the Company's second quarter of its fiscal year 2004. The purchase of the general partnership interest was completed through the purchase of 100% of the outstanding common stock of Brazos Automotive Properties Management, Inc., the general partner of BAP, from Brazos River Leasing, L. P. The limited partnership interest was acquired from Heller Financial, Inc., a subsidiary of G.E. Capital, the holder of that interest. NOTE 3 - DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 ("SFAS 133"), "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", as amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 138 ("SFAS 138"),"Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities" requires that all derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in current earnings or other comprehensive income, depending on whether the derivative is designated as part of a hedge transaction, and if it is, depending on the type of hedge transaction. The notional amount of derivative financial instruments, which consisted solely of an interest rate swap used to minimize the risk and/or costs associated with changes in interest rates, was approximately $1.8 million at September 27, 2003. This swap matures in October 2005. This swap contract requires the Company to pay a fixed-rate of interest of 7.15% plus a spread of 80 basis points, and receive variable-rates of interest based on the 30 day LIBOR rate. At September 27, 2003, the fair value of this contract, net of tax, is recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in the Statement of Changes in Shareholders' Equity. NOTE 4 - CASH AND EQUIVALENTS The Company's policy is to invest cash in excess of operating requirements in income producing investments. Cash equivalents at September 27, 2003 include interest bearing accounts of $819,000 which have maturities of three months or less. NOTE 5 - INVENTORIES The Company's inventories consist of automotive parts and tires, which are valued using the first-in, first-out method. NOTE 6 - EARNINGS PER SHARE The computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended fiscal September 2003 excludes the effect of assumed exercise of 21,000 and 25,000 outstanding stock options, respectively, as the exercise prices of these options exceeded the average market price of the Company's common stock for those periods. The stock options outstanding excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended fiscal September 2002 amounted to 105,000 and 84,000, respectively. NOTE 7 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION As permitted under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 ("SFAS 123"), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", the Company measures stock-based compensation cost for stock options as the excess of the quoted market price of the Company's common stock at the grant date over the amount the employee must pay for the stock. The Company's policy generally is to grant stock options at fair market value at the date of grant. 9
MONRO MUFFLER BRAKE, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SFAS 123, as amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123", requires disclosure of pro forma net income and pro forma net income per share as if the fair value-based method had been applied in measuring compensation cost for the stock-based awards granted subsequent to fiscal year 1995. Reported and pro forma net income and earnings per share amounts are set forth below: <TABLE> <CAPTION> SIX MONTHS ENDED QUARTER ENDED FISCAL SEPTEMBER FISCAL SEPTEMBER 2003 2002 2003 2002 ---- ---- ---- ---- RESTATED RESTATED (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA) <S> <C> <C> Net income, as reported $5,896 $4,905 $11,815 $8,861 Deduct: Total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair value-based method for all awards, net of related tax effects (176) (108) (326) (223) ----- ----- ------- ------ Pro forma net income $5,720 $4,797 $11,489 $8,638 ====== ====== ======= ====== Earnings per share: Basic-as reported $ .68 $ .58 $ 1.37 $ 1.05 ====== ====== ======= ====== Basic-pro forma $ .66 $ .56 $ 1.33 $ 1.03 ====== ====== ======= ====== Diluted-as reported $ .61 $ .52 $ 1.22 $ .94 ====== ====== ======= ====== Diluted-pro forma $ .60 $ .52 $ 1.21 $ .93 ====== ====== ======= ====== </TABLE> The fair values of the options granted were estimated on the date of their grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Stock options which vested in the first six months of fiscal 2003 include 100,000 performance-based options, earned by the Company's CEO, in accordance with the terms of his employment contract. The Company recorded compensation expense of $1.6 million in its first quarter of fiscal 2003 related to the vesting of these stock options. NOTE 8 - GUARANTEES In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") published Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others". The Interpretation elaborates on the existing disclosure requirements for most guarantees, including loan guarantees such as standby letters of credit. It also clarifies that at the time a company issues a guarantee, the company must recognize an initial liability for the fair value, or market value, of the obligations it assumes under that guarantee and must disclose that information in its interim and annual financial statements. In that regard, the Company provides an accrual for estimated future warranty costs based upon the historical relationship of warranty costs to sales. Warranty expense for the three and six months ended September 27, 2003 and for the prior year comparable periods was not material. Also, warranty reserves are not material to the Company's financial position. 10
MONRO MUFFLER BRAKE, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 9 - ACQUISITION OF KIMMEL AUTOMOTIVE, INC. Effective April 1, 2002, the Company purchased all of the outstanding common stock, as well as a portion of the preferred stock, of Kimmel Automotive, Inc. ("Kimmel"), based in Baltimore, Maryland. Kimmel Automotive operated 34 tire and automotive repair stores in Maryland and Virginia, as well as Wholesale and Truck Tire Divisions (including two commercial stores). The purchase price for Kimmel was approximately $6 million in cash, plus the assumption of approximately $4 million of liabilities. The acquisition was financed through the Company's existing bank credit facility. In June 2002, the Company purchased the remaining preferred stock of Kimmel, with a face value of $1.6 million, for approximately $.7 million. The $.7 million is included in the liabilities assumed in the purchase of Kimmel. Additionally, effective June 29, 2002, the Company sold Kimmel's Truck Tire division, including its retread plant and two commercial stores, for approximately $.4 million in cash and $.5 million in notes receivable. The sale of these assets effectively reduced the net purchase price of the retail store operations.

The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement that may be made from time to time by or on behalf of the Company. The effect of the revisions of the accounting for barter credits and restructuring reserve on the quarter and six months ended September 2002 was to decrease operating, selling, general and administrative expenses by $64,000 and $136,000 and increase the previously reported net income by $40,000 and $85,000, respectively, (no impact on diluted earnings per share). See footnote 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this filing for futher description of the accounting revisions and the financial statement lines that were restated for the quarter and six months ended fiscal September 2002.

SECOND QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 27, 2003 COMPARED TO SECOND QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 28, 2002 Sales were $74.1 million for the quarter ended September 27, 2003 as compared with $68.0 million in the quarter ended September 28, 2002. The sales increase of $6.1 million, or 9.0%, was due to an increase of $2.0 million related to new stores and a comparable store sales increase of 6.6%. Kimmel stores are included in the comparable store sales numbers because they have been open one full fiscal year. Sales for the six months ended September 27, 2003 were $147.7 million as compared to $135.9 million for the comparable period in the prior year. The sales increase of $11.8 million is due to a comparable store sales increase of 6.3%, as well as an increase of $3.8 million from new stores. At September 27, 2003 the Company had 562 company-operated stores compared with 550 stores at September 28, 2002. During the quarter ended September 28, 2003, the Company opened three stores and closed two. Gross profit for the quarter ended September 27, 2003 was $31.4 million or 42.4% of sales as compared with $28.6 million or 42.1% of sales for the quarter ended September 28, 2002. The increase in gross profit for the quarter ended September 27, 2003, as a percentage of sales, is due primarily to the buyout of the synthetic lease properties which occurred on June 27, 2003 (See Note 2). As a result of this transaction, approximately $.4 million of expense, which formerly was recorded as rent expense and included in cost of sales, was recorded as interest expense in the quarter ended September 27, 2003. This reduction was partially offset by approximately $.1 million of additional depreciation recognized in the quarter ended September 2003, now that the related properties are recorded on the Company's balance sheet. Partially offsetting this increase in gross profit was an increase in total material costs caused by vendor price increases as well as an increase in outside purchases. Technician labor, as a percent of sales, was relatively consistent between the two quarters. However, productivity, as measured by sales per man-hour, improved 3.6% over the same quarter of last year. Since the Company formally began tracking this statistic over the last seven years, productivity has increased every year, and since the first quarter of fiscal 1998, is up 35%. Gross profit for the six months ended September 27, 2003 was $63.7 million, or 43.1% of sales, as compared to $58.5 million or 43.0% of sales. Operating, selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the quarter ended September 27, 2003 increased by $1.1 million to $21.1 million from the quarter ended September 28, 2002, and were 28.4% of sales as compared to 29.5% in the prior year quarter. The decrease in SG&A expense as a percentage of sales is due primarily to a decrease in advertising expense due to reduced expenditures, as well as a decrease in field expense related primarily to restructuring of the Kimmel field organization. For the six months ended September 27, 2003, these expenses increased by $.2 million to $43.1 million from the comparable period of the prior year, and were 29.2% of sales as compared to 31.5%. Year-to-date, SG&A expenses declined primarily due to decreased store advertising and decreased field support expense. Additionally, in fiscal 2003, the Company recorded a $1.6 million charge to recognize the vesting of the Chief Executive Officer's performance-based stock options. This charge did not recur in fiscal 2004. Operating income for the quarter ended September 27, 2003 of approximately $10.4 million increased 20.7% as compared to operating income for the quarter ended September 28, 2002, and increased as a percentage of sales from 12.6% to 14.0% for the same periods. Net interest expense for the quarter ended September 27, 2003 increased by approximately $.2 million as compared to the same period in the prior year, and increased from .9% to 1.2% as a percentage of sales for the same periods. Net interest expense for the six months ended September 27, 2003 increased by $.1 million to $1.5 million and decreased with the prior year as a percentage of sales by .1%. The weighted average debt outstanding for the quarter ended September 27, 2003 increased by approximately $14.7 million due to the buyout of the synthetic lease, partially offset by a reduction in revolver debt. (See Note 2). Additionally, there was a decrease in the weighted average interest rate for the current year quarter of approximately 40 basis points as compared to the prior year. Due to its performance for the 12 months ended June 2003, the Company qualified for a 25 basis point reduction in its interest rate spread over LIBOR which should remain in effect for the remainder of fiscal 2004. This equates to an annualized interest rate savings of approximately $115,000. 14
The effective tax rate for the quarters ended September 27, 2003 and September 28, 2002 was 38% of pre-tax income. Net income for the quarter ended September 27, 2003 of $5.9 million increased 20.2% from net income for the quarter ended September 28, 2002. Earnings per share on a diluted basis for the quarter ended September 27, 2003 increased 17.3%. For the six months ended September 27, 2003, net income of $11.8 million increased 33.3% and diluted earnings per share increased 29.8%. Interim Period Reporting The data included in this report are unaudited and are subject to year-end adjustments; however, in the opinion of management, all known adjustments (which consist only of normal recurring adjustments) have been made to present fairly the Company's operating results and financial position for the unaudited periods. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the fiscal year. CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY Capital Resources The Company's primary capital requirements in fiscal 2004 are the upgrading of facilities and systems in existing stores and the funding of its store expansion program, including potential acquistions of existing store chains. For the six months ended September 27, 2003, the Company spent $7.4 million principally for equipment, as well as $.9 million for the acquisition of Brazos Automotive Properties, L.P. (See Note 2). Funds were provided primarily by cash flow from operations. Management believes that the Company has sufficient resources available (including cash and equivalents, net cash flow from operations and bank financing) to expand its business as currently planned for the next several years. Liquidity In March 2003, the Company renewed its credit facility agreement. The amended financing arrangement consists of an $83.5 million Revolving Credit facility (of which approximately $19.5 million was outstanding at September 27, 2003), and a non-amortizing credit loan (formerly synthetic lease financing) totaling $26.5 million (all of which was outstanding at September 27, 2003). The loans bear interest at the prime rate or other LIBOR-based rate options tied to the Company's financial performance. Interest only is payable monthly on the Revolving Credit facility and credit loan throughout the term. The Company must also pay a facility fee on the unused portion of the commitment. The Revolving Credit portion of the facility has a three-year term expiring in September 2006. On June 27, 2003, the Company purchased the entity holding title to the properties and debt under the synthetic lease and, accordingly, consolidated both the assets and debt related to such lease on its balance sheet at September 27, 2003. In accordance with the Company's credit facility agreement, the synthetic lease was converted to a three-year, non-amortizing revolving credit loan, also expiring in September 2006. The credit loan bears interest at the same rate as the Company's Revolving Credit facility. The credit facility is secured by most of the Company's assets, with certain permissible exceptions. The Company has financed its office/warehouse facility via a 10 year mortgage with a current balance of $1.8 million, amortizable over 20 years, and maturing in fiscal 2006, as well as a mortgage note payable of $.7 million due in a balloon payment in 2015. In addition, the Company has financed certain store properties and equipment with capital leases, which amount to $3.2 million and are due in installments through 2018. Certain of the Company's long-term debt agreements require, among other things, the maintenance of specified interest and rent coverage ratios and amounts of tangible net worth. They also contain restrictions on cash dividend payments. At September 27, 2003, the Company is in compliance with the applicable debt covenants. The Company enters into interest rate hedge agreements which involve the exchange of fixed and floating rate interest payments periodically over the life of the agreement without the exchange of the underlying principal amounts. The differential to be paid or received is accrued as interest rates change and is recognized over the life of the agreements as an adjustment to interest expense. FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In April 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 149 ("SFAS 149"), "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS 149 amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments and hedging activities, resulting primarily from decisions made by the FASB's Derivatives Implementation Group following the issuance of SFAS 133. SFAS 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and is 15
effective for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The Company has not entered into any new hedging relationships since June 30, 2003. Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Disclosure controls and procedures The Company has established and currently maintains controls and other procedures designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in its reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission. In conjunction with the close of each fiscal quarter, the Company conducts an update and a review and evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. It is the opinion of the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer, based upon an evaluation completed as of the end of the fiscal quarter that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are sufficiently effective to ensure that any material information relating to the Company is recorded, processed, summarized and reported to its principal officers to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Changes in internal controls There were no significant changes in the Company's internal accounting processes and control procedures during the quarter. 16
