MONRO MUFFLER BRAKE, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 - Stock Dividend
- -----------------------

On May 14, 1997, the Board of Directors declared a five percent stock
dividend, payable August 4, 1997, to stockholders of record as of June 20, 1997.
The consolidated financial statements, including all share information therein,
have been restated to reflect this dividend.

Additionally, in accordance with antidilution provisions of the Class C
Convertible Preferred Stock, the conversion value of the preferred stock was
restated from $.239 per share to $.227 per share.

Shares reserved for issuance to officers and key employees under
outstanding options and under the 1984, 1987 and 1989 Incentive Stock Option
Plans have also been retroactively adjusted for the five percent stock dividend.

Note 2: New Accounting Standards
- ---------------------------------

The Company will adopt the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards
("FAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" effective for financial statements issued
for periods ending after December 15, 1997; earlier application is not
permitted. FAS 128 requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the
face of the income statement and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and
denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the
diluted EPS calculation. Basic EPS excludes the effect of common stock
equivalents and is computed by dividing income available to common shareowners
by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS
reflects the potential dilution that could result if securities or other
instruments to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.

Proforma earnings per share computed in accordance with FAS 128 is presented
below:

Note 3 - Inventories
- --------------------

The Company's inventories consist of automotive parts and tires.

Substantially all merchandise inventories are valued under the last-in,
first-out (LIFO) method. Under the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method, these
inventories would have been $628,000 and $544,000 higher at June 30, 1997 and
March 31, 1997, respectively. The FIFO value of inventory approximates the
current replacement cost.

FIRST QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 COMPARED TO
FIRST QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1996.

Sales were $40.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 compared
with $37.7 million in the quarter ended June 30, 1996. The sales increase of
$3.0 million, or 8.0%, was due to an increase in sales of approximately $3.5
million relating to stores opened since the beginning of fiscal 1996, offset by
a decrease in comparable store sales of 1.0%. At June 30, 1997, the Company had
324 stores in operation compared to 284 at June 30, 1996.

Management believes that year-to-date comparable store sales
decreases were driven, in part, by the cold, wet weather during the months of
April and May, and the aftermath of a relatively mild winter which have
created a softness in the industry.

Gross profit for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 was $18.1 million or
44.5% of sales compared with $17.1 million or 45.2% of sales for the quarter
ended June 30, 1996. The decline in gross profit as a percentage of sales was
due, in part, to an increase in labor costs. During periods of slower sales when
technicians may not be fully productive, they will receive a minimum base level
wage. Additionally, distribution and occupancy costs increased as a percent of
sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1998 as compared to the first quarter of
fiscal 1997 primarily due to an increase in the number of stores against a
comparable store sales decrease.

Operating, selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter
ended June 30, 1997 increased by $.8 million to $11.5 million over the quarter
ended June 30, 1996, and remained level at 28.2% of sales compared to the same
quarter of the prior year. The increase in total dollars expended is primarily
attributable to increased store supervision and increased store support
expenses. Although expenses increased during the first quarter of fiscal 1998 as
compared to the first quarter of fiscal 1997, these expenses remained constant
as a percent of sales primarily due to management's continued focus on
discretionary spending and controlling costs, as well as increased cooperative
advertising credits.

Operating income for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 of approximately
$6.7 million increased 3.4% over operating income for the quarter ended June 30,
1996, and decreased as a percentage of sales from 17.0% to 16.3% for the same
periods.

Net interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 increased by
approximately $.1 million compared to the comparable period in the prior year,
and remained level at 2.1% as a percentage of sales. The increase in expense is
due to an increase in the average debt outstanding during the quarter, partially
offset by a decrease in the weighted average interest rate.

Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 of $3.4 million
increased 1.1% over net income for the quarter ended June 30, 1996.

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 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 requirement has been the funding of its
new store expansion program and the upgrading of facilities and systems in
existing stores. For the quarter ended June 30, 1997, the Company spent $5.9
million for equipment and new store construction. Funds were provided 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

The Company has a line of credit from a commercial bank of $7.5
million. No amounts were outstanding under this short-term borrowing facility at
June 30, 1997.

Through February 7, 1996, the Company had a real estate line of credit
of $25 million to be used for placement of mortgages. This line was terminated
in fiscal 1996 at the Company's initiative and replaced by a new unsecured
Revolving Credit facility with two banks. In June 1997, the Credit Agreement was
modified to increase the amount available under the facility from $30 million to
$50 million, and extend the term to March 2000. The facility bears interest at
the prime rate or other LIBOR-based rate options tied to the Company's financial
performance.

Prior to the termination of the real estate line, the Company had
utilized $13.2 million of the real estate line of credit for permanent
mortgages.

The Company has outstanding $3.7 million in principal amount of its
10.65% Senior Notes due 1999 (the "Senior Notes") with Massachusetts Mutual Life
Insurance Company pursuant to a Senior Note Agreement. The fourth of six equal
annual installments of principal in the amount of $1.8 million was paid on April
1, 1997.

The Company has financed its office/warehouse facility via a 10 year
mortgage with a current balance of $2.8 million, amortizable over 20 years, and
an eight year term loan with a balance of $.6 million.

Certain of the Company's long-term debt agreements require, among other
things, the maintenance of specified current ratios, interest and rent coverage
ratios and amounts of tangible net worth, and also contain restrictions on
dividend payments and capital expenditures.
