DIAMOND TRIUMPH AUTO GLASS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
(Dollars in thousands except per share amounts)

NOTE 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

These interim financial statements are unaudited but, in the opinion of
management, reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments) necessary to present fairly the data for the interim periods
presented. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in
Diamond's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.
Diamond's results for interim periods are not normally indicative of
results to be expected for the fiscal year. Weather has historically
affected Diamond's sales and net income, with severe weather generating
increased sales and net income, and mild weather resulting in lower sales
and net income. In addition, Diamond's business is somewhat seasonal, with
the first and fourth calendar quarters traditionally its slowest periods
of activity.

Preferred Stock:

At September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the liquidation value of the
Preferred Stock recorded on Diamond's Balance Sheet was $75,481 and
$69,076, respectively, which includes dividends of $40,481 and $34,076,
respectively.

Borrowings:

Credit Facility - On March 27, 2000, Diamond entered into a revolving
credit facility (the "Credit Facility"), which had an initial term of four
years and provides for revolving advances of up to the lesser of: (1)
$25,000; (2) the sum of 85% of Diamond's Eligible Accounts Receivable (as
defined in the Credit Facility) plus 85% of Diamond's Eligible Inventory
(as defined in the Credit Facility), less certain reserves; or (3) an
amount equal to 1.5 times Diamond's EBITDA (as defined in the Credit
Facility) for the prior twelve months. On November 26, 2003, Diamond
amended the Credit Facility, which, among other things extended the term
for an additional three year period through March 27, 2007. A portion of
the Credit Facility, not to exceed $10,000, is available for the issuance
of letters of credit, which generally have an initial term of one year or
less. Diamond had $6,141 in outstanding letters of credit at September 30,
2004. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest, at Diamond's
discretion, at either the JP Morgan Chase Manhattan Bank Rate (as defined
in the Credit Facility) or LIBOR, plus a margin of 0.50% for the JP Morgan
Chase Manhattan Rate and 2.25% for the LIBOR Rate. In addition, a
commitment fee of 0.25% is charged against any unused balance of the
Credit Facility. Interest rates are subject to increases or reductions
based upon Diamond meeting certain EBITDA levels. The proceeds of the
Credit Facility are available for working capital requirements and for
general corporate purposes. The Credit Facility is secured by first
priority security interests in all of Diamond's tangible and intangible
assets. In addition, the Credit Facility contains certain restrictive
covenants including, among other things, the maintenance of a minimum
EBITDA level as of September 30, 2004 of $10,500 for the prior twelve
months (the "EBITDA Covenant"), as well as restrictions on additional
indebtedness, dividends and certain other significant transactions.
Diamond was not in compliance with the EBITDA Covenant for the fiscal
period ended September 30, 2004, as Diamond's EBITDA level for the prior
twelve months was approximately $9.6 million. Diamond obtained a waiver as
of September 30, 2004 with respect to the EBITDA Covenant, and amended the
Credit Facility with respect to the EBITDA levels required to be
maintained through December 31, 2004. Diamond had no outstanding balance
under the Credit Facility at September 30, 2004.

Stock Option Plan:

In September 1998, the Board of Directors and stockholders of Diamond
approved and adopted the Diamond Triumph Auto Glass 1998 Stock Option Plan
(the "1998 Plan"). The 1998 Plan provides for the issuance of a total of
30,000 authorized and un-issued shares of common stock. As of September
30, 2004, the Board of Directors had granted 22,175 options to key
employees of Diamond with an exercise price of $20.00 per share, which
approximated fair value at the date of grant. The options vest evenly over
five years and may not be exercised until the earlier of (a) 90 days after
Diamond's Common Stock has become publicly traded or (b) 91 days prior to
the tenth anniversary of the date of the grant. The 1998 Plan expires in
September 2008. 500 options were granted in July 2003 and no options were
granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2004.

Diamond accounts for its stock option plan under Accounting Principles
Board Opinion ("APB") No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,"
under which no compensation cost has been recognized for options issued to
employees at fair market value on the date of grant. In 1995, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation." SFAS No. 123 established a fair value based
method of accounting for stock-based compensation plans. SFAS No. 123
requires that a company's financial statements include certain disclosures
about stock-based employee compensation arrangements regardless of the
method used to account for the plan.

As allowed by SFAS No. 123, Diamond has elected to continue to account for
its employee stock-based compensation plans under APB Opinion No. 25, and
adopted only the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123. Had compensation
cost for Diamond's common stock options been determined based upon the
fair value of the options at the date of grant, as prescribed under SFAS
No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation - Transition and Disclosure", Diamond's net income (loss)
would have been reduced to the following pro forma amounts:

The fair value of the options granted in 2003 was $2.63 using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:
risk-free interest rate of 2.82%, volatility of 0% and expected dividend
yield of 0%.

NOTE 2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities ("FIN 46"). The Interpretation requires that a
variable interest entity be consolidated by a company if that company is
subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest
entity's activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entity's
residual returns or both. The consolidation requirements of FIN 46 are
effective for all variable interest entities created or acquired after
January 31, 2003. In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board issued a revision to FIN 46 referred to as Interpretation No. 46
(R). Among other provisions, the revision extended the adoption date of
FIN 46 (R) to the first quarter of 2004 for variable interest entities
created prior to February 1, 2003. The adoption of this interpretation had
no impact on Diamond's consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

On June 1, 2002 (the "Grant Date"), Norman Harris (the "Executive") and
Diamond entered into a Restricted Stock Agreement (the "Agreement")
pursuant to which the Executive purchased from Diamond 26,366 shares (the
"Restricted Shares") of Diamond's common stock, par value $0.01 per share,
for nominal consideration. The Agreement generally restricts the sale or
transferability of shares of Common Stock held by the Executive before the
Restrictions (as defined in the Agreement) have lapsed. The Executive has
all rights and privileges of a stockholder with respect to the Restricted
Shares, including voting rights and the right to receive dividends paid
with respect to the Restricted Shares. Generally, the Restricted Shares
vest and the Restrictions lapse: (i) with respect to 20% of the Restricted
Shares on the Grant Date; and (ii) with respect to 20% of the Restricted
Shares on each subsequent anniversary of the Grant Date until the
Restricted Shares are fully vested. Compensation expense, unearned
restricted stock compensation, and proceeds from common stock issued have
been recognized based on the vesting periods and an estimated fair market
value of $20 per share at the time of the Agreement.

NOTE 4. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On May 2, 2002, Diamond filed an amended Complaint with the United States
District Court, Middle District of Pennsylvania against Safelite Glass
Corporation (the "Defendant"). Diamond alleges, among other things, that
the Defendant's conduct as (i) an operator of national telephone call
centers which takes first notice of loss calls from insureds of several of
the largest automobile insurers in the United States (the "Insurers");
(ii) a provider of various claims processing services to the Insurers as a
third-party administrator; and (iii) an operator of a network of retail
repair and replacement facilities who perform work for the Insurers as
Safelite affiliates, violated certain federal and state laws and gave rise
to other legal and equitable claims against the Defendant. Diamond alleges
that the Defendant engaged in various practices designed to divert
customers away from Diamond to the Defendant, and that Diamond has
suffered damages as a result of this conduct in an amount to be determined
at trial.

On November 1, 2002, the Defendant filed a counter claim against Diamond,
alleging, among other things, that Diamond has engaged and continues to
engage in publishing certain false and defamatory statements about the
Defendant to automobile insurance companies that are the Defendant's
clients. Defendant alleges that this alleged conduct has injured the
Defendant's goodwill and business reputation with its insurance clients
and in the auto glass repair and replacement industry. Among other things,
the Defendant is seeking damages in an amount to be determined at trial.

DIAMOND TRIUMPH AUTO GLASS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
(Dollars in thousands except per share amounts)

On February 3, 2003, Delbert Rice and Kenneth E. Springfield, Jr., on
behalf of themselves and all others similarly situated (the "Plaintiffs"),
filed a class action Complaint in the Court of Common Pleas of Luzerne
County, Pennsylvania against Diamond. Plaintiffs allege, among other
things, Diamond violated certain sections of the Pennsylvania Unfair Trade
Practices and Consumer Protection Law and common law. Plaintiffs allege
that this alleged conduct has caused monetary damages to Plaintiffs. Among
other things, Plaintiffs are seeking damages in an amount to be determined
at trial. Diamond believes Plaintiffs' allegations are without merit and
plans to vigorously contest this complaint.

Diamond is involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the
ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate
disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on
Diamond's financial condition, results of operations or financial
position. No amounts have been recorded in the consolidated financial
statements for any of these legal actions.

NOTE 5. INCOME TAXES

As disclosed in the Company's 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003,
the Internal Revenue Service has concluded its audit of the tax periods
ended December 31, 1998, 1999, and 2000. As a result of this audit, the
Internal Revenue Service issued a notice of proposed adjustments on
February 20, 2002, which included a disallowance of the tax-deductible
goodwill resulting from Diamond's March 31, 1998 Recapitalization
Transaction (as defined in Diamond's 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2003). The Internal Revenue Service has asserted that the Recapitalization
Transaction did not qualify as a stock purchase, and accordingly, that the
election under Internal Revenue Code Section 338(h)(10) was not valid. As
a result, if the IRS position is sustained, tax-deductible goodwill would
not be recognizable by Diamond.

The proposed adjustments by the Internal Revenue Service would result in
$7.6 million of federal tax deficiencies owed by Diamond for the period
December 31, 1998 through December 31, 2003, plus possible interest and
penalties and any resultant increases in current state tax expense for
this period. Additionally, the deferred tax asset established in 1998
would be eliminated, as well as net operating loss carryforwards from
previous deductions of the tax goodwill. The carrying amount of these
assets at December 31, 2003 was approximately $37.0 million.

Diamond strongly believes that the Recapitalization Transaction is
properly accounted for, and has appealed the Internal Revenue Service's
proposed adjustment. If such appeal is ultimately unsuccessful, the
Internal Revenue Service's proposed adjustment would have a material
adverse affect on Diamond's liquidity, cash flows, balance sheet and
results of operations.

NOTE 6. CONTINGENT GUARANTEED COMMITMENTS

Diamond leases certain vehicles under operating leases having lease terms
of 367 days. The leases have monthly renewal options. The vehicle lease
agreement provides for terminal lease payments for guaranteed residual
values reduced by actual proceeds from the vehicle sale in the event the
lease is not renewed. The contingent guaranteed residual value payment
commitment was $11.4 million at September 30, 2004. No amounts have been
accrued related to this contingent obligation because Diamond does not
believe it is probable that the payments will be required.

10

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

Diamond is a leading provider of automotive glass replacement and repair
services in the United States. At September 30, 2004, Diamond operated a
network of 251 automotive glass service centers, approximately 1,100
mobile installation vehicles and six distribution centers in 45 states.
Diamond serves all of its customers' automotive glass replacement and
repair needs, offering windshields, tempered glass and other related
products. Sales, net income and EBITDA for the nine months ended September
30, 2004 were $163.9 million, $2.5 million and $10.4 million,
respectively. Sales, net income and EBITDA for the three months ended
September 30, 2004 were $53.5 million, $2.2 million and $2.9 million,
respectively.

Weather has historically affected Diamond's sales and net income, with
severe weather generating increased sales and net income and mild weather
resulting in lower sales and net income. In addition, Diamond's business
is somewhat seasonal, with the first and fourth quarters traditionally its
slowest period of activity. Diamond believes these seasonal trends will
continue for the foreseeable future.

The price of replacement automotive glass is based in part on list prices
developed by the National Auto Glass Specification ("NAGS"), an
independent third party. Prices charged by participants in the automotive
glass replacement industry are independently determined using varying
percentage discounts from the NAGS price list. The impact of NAGS price
changes on Diamond's financial results depends on the level of discounts
Diamond grants to its customers and the level of discounts that Diamond
can obtain from its glass suppliers. Effective January 1, 1999, NAGS
significantly modified its published list prices in order to bring actual
prices more in line with published list prices. Although NAGS has not
materially modified its published list prices since January 1, 1999, NAGS
has made periodic modifications to its published list prices subsequent to
that date, including a series of price changes effective January 2003 that
resulted in a 4% to 5% decrease in overall list prices. NAGS modified its
published list prices in January 2004 which resulted in moderate decreases
in overall list prices.

Diamond believes that, due to its sole focus on automotive glass
replacement and repair, it has one of the lowest cost structures in the
automotive glass replacement and repair industry. Diamond's low cost
structure enables it to serve all markets of the industry, which is
comprised of: (1) individual consumers; (2) commercial customers,
including commercial fleet leasing companies, rental car companies, car
dealerships, body shops, utilities and government agencies; and (3)
insurance customers, including referrals from local agents, claims offices
and centralized call centers. While the largest participant in the
industry primarily focuses on servicing automotive glass insurance claims
(including providing related insurance claims processing services) and
also manufactures automotive glass, Diamond has strategically positioned
itself solely as a provider of automotive glass replacement and repair
services to a balanced mix of individual, commercial and insurance
customers.

table are measures of Diamond's performance that are not required
by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. EBITDA is not a
measurement of Diamond's financial performance under GAAP and should
not be considered an alternative to net income, operating income or
any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as
an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure
of our liquidity.

Diamond presents EBITDA because it considers it an important
supplemental measure of its performance and believes it is
frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other
interested parties in the evaluation of companies in its industry,
many of which present EBITDA when reporting their results.

Diamond believes issuers of "high yield" securities also present
EBITDA because investors, analysts and rating agencies consider it
useful in measuring the ability of those issuers to meet debt
service obligations. Diamond believes EBITDA is an appropriate
supplemental measure of debt service capacity, because cash
expenditures on interest are, by definition, available to pay
interest, and tax expense is inversely correlated to interest
expense because tax expense goes down as deductible interest expense
goes up; depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges.

12

Diamond also uses EBITDA for the following purposes: (i) its
executives' compensation plans base incentive compensation payments
on its EBITDA performance measured against budgets; and (ii) its
credit agreement and its indenture for its Notes use EBITDA to
measure Diamond's compliance with covenants such as interest
coverage and debt incurrence.

EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be
considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of
Diamond's results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations
are:

- EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future
requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual
commitments;

- EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for,
our working capital needs;

- EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense, or
the cash requirements necessary to service interest or
principal payments, on our debt;

- Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges,
the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to
be replaced in the future, and EBITDA does not reflect any
cash requirements for such replacements; and

- Other companies in Diamond's industry may calculate EBITDA
differently than Diamond does, limiting its usefulness as a
comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, EBITDA should not be considered as a
measure of discretionary cash available to Diamond to invest in the
growth of its business. Diamond compensates for these limitations by
relying primarily on its GAAP results and using EBITDA only
supplementally. See the Statements of Cash Flows included in our
financial statements.

Reconciliation of EBITDA to net income follows for the periods
indicated:

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2004 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 2003

Net Sales. Net sales for the nine-month period ended September
30, 2004 decreased 4.2% to $163.9 million from $171.0 million as compared
to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003. Installation units sold
through September 30, 2004 decreased 2.6% compared to the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2003. Diamond's revenue per installation unit
for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004 was 2.1% below the
revenue per installation unit for the nine-month period ended September
30, 2003. The decrease in installation units sold is primarily due to
weaker industry demand. The decrease in revenue per installation unit is
primarily due to pricing pressures experienced throughout

13

the industry. The decrease in sales is due to the decrease in installation
units sold and the decrease in revenue per installation units, as
discussed above.

Gross Profit. Gross profit was $117.2 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2004 and $118.7 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2003. Gross profit increased as a percentage of sales
to 71.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 from 69.4% for the
nine months ended September 30, 2003. The decrease in gross profit is due
to a decrease in net sales as discussed above. The increase in gross
profit percentage is primarily due to decreased product costs, which is
due to the continued leveraging of Diamond's purchasing power and to
enhanced inventory management as a result of increased system
functionality from our upgraded MIS platform.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses increased by $0.5
million or 0.4% to $108.5 million during the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2004 from $108.0 million for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2003. The increase in operating expenses was due to an
increase in wages and wage related expenses primarily due to wage rate
pressures at the service center level. These increases were partially
offset by decreases in wages as a result of service center consolidations.
Vehicle lease expense also increased due to the continued replacement of
owned vehicles with leased vehicles, and accelerated amortization of
leased vehicle lives in order to more closely align our lease obligations
upon termination of the lease with expected vehicle market values. The
increase in operating expenses was also due to an increase in vehicle gas
due to rising prices, an increase in occupancy costs and an increase in
health insurance cost. These increases were partially offset by decreases
in shop maintenance expense, advertising and promotional expenses and
vehicle maintenance expense.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2004 decreased by $0.4 million or 19.0% to $1.7
million from $2.1 million for the nine-month period ended September 30,
2003. This was primarily due to decreases in depreciation expense for
computer hardware, sales audit software, and POS software that became
fully depreciated.

Income From Operations. Income from operations for the nine
months ended September 30, 2004 decreased by $2.0 million, or 18.7%, to
$8.7 million from $10.7 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2003. This decrease was primarily due to decreased gross profit and
increased operating costs discussed above.

Interest Expense. Interest expense for the nine months ended
September 30, 2004 increased $0.6 million, or 10.7%, to $6.2 million from
$5.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. The increase in
interest expense is primarily due to the recording of a net gain of $1.1
million from the repurchase of senior notes during the nine months ended
September 30, 2003, which reduced interest expense for that period. There
was no similar repurchase activity during the nine months ended September
30, 2004. The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 was
partially offset by decreased interest expense as a direct result of the
repurchase of $13.2 million face amount of senior notes during 2003.

Net Income. Net income for the nine months ended September 30,
2004 decreased by $0.6 million to $2.5 million from $3.1 million of net
income for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. Net income as a
percentage of sales decreased 0.3% for the nine months ended September 30,
2004 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2003. The decrease in
net income and net income margin during the nine months ended September
30, 2004 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was
primarily due to the decrease in gross profit, increased operating
expenses and increased interest expense discussed above. These decreases
were partially offset by a decrease in Diamond's effective tax rate to
0.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared to 39.0% for
the nine months ended September 30, 2003.

14

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2004 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 2003

Net Sales. Net sales for the three-month period ended
September 30, 2004 decreased 6.1% to $53.6 million from $57.1 million as
compared to the three-month period ended September 30, 2003. Installation
units sold for the three months ended September 30, 2004 decreased 6.6%
compared to the three months ended September 30, 2003. Diamond's revenue
per installation unit for the three-month period ended September 30, 2004
was flat compared to the revenue per installation unit for the three-month
period ended September 30, 2003. The decrease in installation units sold
is primarily due to weaker industry demand. The decrease in sales is due
to the decrease in installation units sold.

Gross Profit. Gross profit was $38.4 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2004 and $39.6 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2003. Gross profit increased as a percentage of sales
to 71.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2004 from 69.4% for the
three months ended September 30, 2003. The decrease in gross profit is due
to the decrease in sales discussed above. The increase in gross profit
percentage is primarily due to decreased product costs, which is due to
the continued leveraging of our purchasing power and to enhanced inventory
management as a result of increased system functionality from our recently
upgraded MIS platform.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses decreased by $1.1
million or 3.0% to $36.0 million during the three-month period ended
September 30, 2004 from $37.1 million for the three-month period ended
September 30, 2003. The decrease in operating expenses is due to a
decrease in vehicle maintenance expense, advertising and promotional
expense and shop maintenance expenses. These decreases were partially
offset by an increase in operating expenses due to an increase in wages
and wage related expenses primarily at the service center level, due to
wage rate pressures and general wage increases and an increase in
occupancy cost. We also experienced an increase in vehicle lease expense
due to the continued retirement of owned vehicles that are replaced with
leased vehicles, and accelerated amortization of leased vehicle lives in
order to more closely align our lease obligation upon termination of the
lease with expected vehicle market values.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the three-month
period ended September 30, 2004 decreased by $0.1 million or 16.7% to $0.5
million from $0.6 million for the three-month period ended September 30,
2003. This was primarily due to decreases in depreciation expense for
computer hardware, sales audit software, and POS software that became
fully depreciated.

Income From Operations. Income from operations for the three
months ended September 30, 2004 decreased by $.1 million, or 4.0%, to $2.4
million from $2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003.
This decrease was primarily due to the decreased gross profit discussed
above, which was partially offset by decreased operating expenses.

Interest Expense. Interest expense for the three months ended
September 30, 2004 and September 30, 2003 remained flat at $2.0.

Net Income. Net income for the three months ended September
30, 2004 increased by $1.9 million to $2.2 million net income from $0.3
million net income for the three months ended September 30, 2003. Net
income as a percentage of sales increased 3.6% for the three months ended
September 30, 2004 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2003.
The increase in net income and net income margin during the three months
ended September 30, 2004 compared to the three months ended September 30,
2003 was primarily due to a reduction in Diamond's effective tax rate to
0.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2004 compared to 39.0% for
the three months ended September 30, 2003. Due to the change in Diamond's
effective tax rate, Diamond recorded a $1.8 million tax benefit during the
three

15

months ended September 30, 2004, which eliminated 100% of the provision
for income taxes previously recorded by Diamond during calendar year 2004.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Diamond's need for liquidity will arise primarily from the
interest payable on its 9-1/4% Senior Notes (the "Notes"), its Credit
Facility and the funding of Diamond's capital expenditures and working
capital requirements. There are no mandatory principal payments on the
Notes prior to their maturity on April 1, 2008 and, except to the extent
that the amount outstanding under the Credit Facility exceeds the
borrowing base, no required payments of principal on the Credit Facility
prior to its expiration on March 27, 2007. As discussed in Diamond's Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 1., Diamond was not in
compliance with the EBITDA Covenant as of September 30, 2004 and obtained
a waiver as of September 30, 2004 with respect to the EBITDA Covenant.
Diamond also amended the Credit Facility to reduce the EBITDA levels
required to be maintained through December 31, 2004. The waiver as of
September 30, 2004 was in addition to the waiver as of March 31, 2004 that
waived Diamond's default of the EBITDA Covenant as of March 31, 2004 and
amended the Credit Facility with respect to the EBITDA levels through
August 31, 2004. Diamond may from time to time repurchase Notes in the
open market.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities. Net cash provided
by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2004
decreased by $5.3 million to $6.8 million from $12.1 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2003. The decrease was primarily due to a
decrease in Diamond's net income and related tax provision adjustment for
the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004 as compared to the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2003, as discussed above, and to
changes in inventory and accounts payable balances compared to the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2003.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities. Net cash used in
investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2004
decreased $0.3 million to $0.5 million from $0.8 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2003. The decrease is primarily due to a
decrease in capital expenditures.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities. Net cash used in
financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 was $2.5
million compared to $11.6 million used in financing activities for the
nine months ended September 30, 2003. The decrease is due to $11.6 million
of payments for repurchase of senior notes during the nine months ended
June 30, 2003. There were no similar transactions during the nine months
ended September 30, 2004. This decrease was partially offset by a $2.5
million decrease in net borrowings during the nine months ended September
30, 2004 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2003.

Capital Expenditures. Capital expenditures for the nine months
ended September 30, 2004 were $0.6 million, as compared to $1.0 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. The decrease is due to a
decrease in vehicle and software related expenditures, which were
partially offset by increases in computer hardware and leasehold
improvements.

Liquidity. Management believes that Diamond will have adequate
capital resources and liquidity to satisfy its debt service obligations,
working capital needs and capital expenditure requirements for the
foreseeable future. Diamond's capital resources and liquidity are expected
to be provided by Diamond's net cash provided by operating activities and
borrowings under the Credit Facility. See " -- Notes to Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 5 - Income Tax" for a discussion
of the Internal Revenue Service's proposed adjustments with respect to
Diamond's tax treatment of its Recapitalization Transaction (as defined in
Diamond's 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003).

provisions.

On October 21, 2004, Richard Rutta resigned as an employee, Co-Chairman
and a member of the Board of Directors of Diamond. Mr. Rutta resigned to
pursue personal endeavors, and not due to a disagreement on any matter
relating to Diamond's operations, policies or practices. Michael A.
Sumsky, who currently manages a portion of Diamond's retail operations,
will assume management responsibilities for the balance of Diamond's
retail operations, which were previously managed by Mr. Rutta.

ITEM 3 QUANTITATIVE AND QUAL1TATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Diamond has a revolving Credit Facility that provides for revolving
advances of up to $25.0 million, and matures in March 2007. Borrowings
under the Credit Facility bear interest, at Diamond's discretion, at
either the JP Morgan Chase Manhattan Bank Rate (as defined in the Credit
Facility) or LIBOR, plus a margin of 0.50% for the JP Morgan Chase
Manhattan Rate and 2.25% for the LIBOR Rate. In addition, a commitment fee
of 0.25% is charged against any unused balance of the Credit Facility.
Interest rates are subject to increases or reductions based upon Diamond
meeting certain EBITDA levels. At September 30, 2004, Diamond had no
outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility.

ITEM 4 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Diamond maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Diamond's
Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange
Commission's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and
communicated to Diamond's management, including its Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely
decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the
disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any

of Diamond's disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the
quarter covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, Diamond's Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that Diamond's
disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable
assurance level.

There has been no change in Diamond's internal controls over
financial reporting during Diamond's most recent fiscal quarter that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect,
Diamond's internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II

OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On May 2, 2002, Diamond filed an amended Complaint with the United States
District Court, Middle District of Pennsylvania against Safelite Glass
Corporation (the "Defendant"). Diamond alleges, among other things, that the
Defendant's conduct as (i) an operator of national telephone call centers which
takes first notice of loss calls from insureds of several of the largest
automobile insurers in the United States (the "Insurers"); (ii) a provider of
various claims processing services to the Insurers as a third-party
administrator and; (iii) an operator of a network of retail repair and
replacement facilities who perform work for the Insurers as Safelite affiliates,
violated certain federal and state laws and gave rise to other legal and
equitable claims against the Defendant. Diamond alleges that the Defendant
engaged in various practices designed to divert customers away from Diamond to
the Defendant, and that Diamond has suffered damages as a result of this conduct
in an amount to be determined at trial.

On November 1, 2002, the Defendant filed a counter claim against Diamond,
alleging, among other things, that Diamond has engaged and continues to engage
in publishing certain false and defamatory statements about the Defendant to
automobile insurance companies that are the Defendant's clients. Defendant
alleges that this alleged conduct has injured the Defendant's goodwill and
business reputation with its insurance clients and in the auto glass repair and
replacement industry. Among other things, the Defendant is seeking damages in an
amount to be determined at trial.

On February 3, 2003, Delbert Rice and Kenneth E. Springfield, Jr., on
behalf of themselves and all others similarly situated (the "Plaintiffs"), filed
a class action Complaint in the Court of Common Pleas of Luzerne County,
Pennsylvania against Diamond. Plaintiffs allege, among other things, Diamond
violated certain sections of the Pennsylvania Unfair Trade Practices and
Consumer Protection Law and common law. Plaintiffs allege that this alleged
conduct has caused monetary damages to Plaintiffs. Among other things,
Plaintiffs are seeking damages in an amount to be determined at trial. Diamond
believes Plaintiffs' allegations are without merit and plans to vigorously
contest this complaint.

Diamond is involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the
ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate
disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on
Diamond's financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. No amounts
