Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


To the Board of Directors
B.W.P. Distributors, Inc.
Armonk, New York


We have audited the accompanying carve-out combined balance sheet of B.W.P. Distributors, Inc. and Affiliates (the “Company”) as of October 25, 2012 and the related carve-out combined statements of income, owners' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As described in Note 1, the accompanying financial statements comprising the carve-out balance sheet together with the related statement of income, owners' equity, and cash flows have been prepared from the separate records maintained by the Company.

In our opinion, the carve-out combined financial statement referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of October 25, 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the 2012 financial statements have been restated to correct an opening equity balance misstatement.

NOTES TO CARVE-OUT COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEAR ENDED OCTOBER 25, 2012
(In Thousands except for share data)
_________________________________________

(1)
PRINCIPAL BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(A) Principles of combination

The combined financial statements include the accounts of B.W.P. Distributors, Inc.("B.W.P."), SST Auto Parts, Inc., BWP2 Holding LLC, Enfield Auto Parts LLC and BWP HAMDEN Auto Parts LLC, as of and for the year ended October 25, 2012. These entities are affiliated by common control under BWP Distributors, Inc. (collectively the "Company"). All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in combination. These financial statements were prepared to report the accounts of the combined companies that were acquired by Advance Auto Parts, Inc. (“Advance”) subsequent to October 25, 2012 and exclude the accounts of certain other affiliated entities that were not acquired by Advance.

Carve-Out Financial Statements - Basis of Reporting: In accordance with the carve-out accounting provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 1B (“Topic 1B”), Allocation of Expenses and Related Disclosure in Financial Statements of Subsidiaries, Divisions or Lesser Business Components of Another Entity, the Company's financial statements as of and for the year ended October 25, 2012 exclude the entities of IJAN Holding LLC, IJAN-NJ Realty LLC, IJAN-B Realty LLC, IJAN Realty LLC, IJAN-MA Realty LLC, IJAN2-MA Realty LLC, IJAN-CT Realty LLC, IJAN2CT Realty LLC, IJAN2NY Realty LLC, and IJAN-PA Realty LLC which are entities under common control.

(B) Principal business activity

The Company supplies, markets and distributes automotive replacement parts and accessories primarily to commercial customers in the northeastern United States. The Company operates three distribution centers and owns or supplies 216 stores located in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, Rhode Island, New Hampshire and Pennsylvania. Of the 216 stores, 124 stores are company-owned and operated.

(C) Revenue Recognition

Revenues are recognized when products are shipped and title has transferred to the customer. Sales are recorded net of discounts, sales taxes and estimated allowances. The Company estimates returns based on current sales levels and the Company's historical return experience.

_________________________________________

PRINCIPAL BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED

(D) Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company estimates doubtful accounts based on historical bad debts, factors related to specific customer ability to pay and current economic trends. The Company writes off accounts receivable against the allowance when a balance is determined to be uncollectible.

(E) Inventories

Inventories of automotive replacement parts and accessories are stated at lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method for all inventories.

(F) Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation is provided for on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the term of the related lease or the estimated useful lives of the assets.

(G) Concentration of credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts and trade notes receivable which approximate fair-value due to the short maturities of these investments. The Company maintains cash balances in bank accounts that at times may exceed federally insured limits. It has not experienced any losses to date resulting from this policy. The Company is directly affected by the well-being of the automotive replacement parts industry. The Company's concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts and trade notes receivables is limited because the Company's customer base consists of a large number of customers with relatively small balances, which allows the credit risk to be spread across a broad base. The Company also mitigates its exposure to credit risk through management's control of credit approval along with continuous monitoring procedures and providing allowances for losses when necessary.

PRINCIPAL BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED

(H) Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates by management that affect the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


(I) Income Taxes

The stockholders of B.W.P. Distributors, Inc. and SST Auto Parts, Inc. have consented that the companies be treated as small business corporations (S Corporations) for federal and state income tax purposes. Accordingly, there is no provision for federal income taxes on the earnings of the companies, as such earnings flow directly to their stockholders. These companies are subject to state income taxes at reduced rates and to local income taxes. The following entities, BWP2 Holding LLC, Enfield Auto Parts LLC, BWP Hamden Auto Parts LLC, are not subject to corporate taxes as such earnings flow directly to their partners and members, respectively.

The Company is not subject to federal income tax, but may be subject to certain state taxes.  FASB provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, disclosed and presented in the financial statements.  This requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company's tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained “when challenged” or “when examined” by the applicable tax authority.  Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense and liability in the current year.   The Company classifies interest as a component of interest expense and penalties as a component of tax expense.  For the year ended October 25, 2012 management has determined that there are no material uncertain income tax positions.  The Company's operations are included in the federal income tax returns of the owners, as well as the in the owners' state tax returns.  The tax returns for the years ended October 25, 2009 and later remain open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.  In most instances, state income tax returns remain subject to examination for tax years ended October 25, 2009 or later.

(1) PRINCIPAL BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED

(J) Business Combinations, Goodwill and other Intangibles

The Company accounts for all business combinations using purchase accounting. Goodwill is not subject to amortization, rather, goodwill is subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment applying a fair-value-based test. Additionally, an acquired intangible asset should be separately recognized if the benefit of the intangible asset is obtained through contractual or other legal rights, or if the intangible asset can be sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged, regardless of the acquirer's intent to do so.

(K) Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of cash, accounts and trade notes receivable, notes payable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of their short-term maturity and interest rates which approximate current rates.

(L) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued ASU No. 2012-02 “Intangible-Goodwill and Other - Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment.” ASU 2012-02 modifies the requirement to test intangible assets that are not subject to amortization based on events or changes in circumstances that might indicate that the asset is impaired now requiring the test only if it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired.  Furthermore, ASU 2012-02 provides entities the option of performing a qualitative assessment to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of an intangible asset is less than the carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test. ASU 2012-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012 and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2012-02 will have no impact on the Company's combined financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

_________________________________________

(1) PRINCIPAL BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED

In September 2011, the FASB, issued ASU No. 2011-08 “Intangible-Goodwill and Other - Testing Goodwill for Impairment.” ASU 2011-08 provides entities the option of performing a qualitative assessment to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform a two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. ASU 2011-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-08 will have no impact on the Company's combined financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-09, "Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Multiemployer Plans (Subtopic 715-80)." ASU 2011-09 requires that employers provide additional separate disclosures for multiemployer pension plans and multiemployer other postretirement benefit plans. The additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures will provide users with more detailed information about an employer's involvement in multiemployer pension plans. ASU 2011-09 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2011. This standard is disclosure related only and the adoption of ASU 2011-09 has had no effect on Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
(M) Restatement

In 2012, the Company determined that there had been an error in its accounting for self-insurance medical and workers' compensation related liabilities. The adjustments required included recognition of previously unrecorded liabilities.
The following table presents the impact of the restatement adjustments on stockholders' equity as of October 25, 2011.

(N) Subsequent Event

On December 31, 2012, the Company was acquired by Advance Auto Parts, Inc. (“Advance”) in an all-cash transaction. Concurrent with the closing of the acquisition, Advance transferred the rights to distribute to 92 independently owned locations and sold one of the distribution centers and related assets to an affiliate of General Parts International, Inc., a privately held auto supply company.

PROFIT-SHARING AND PENSION PLANS

(A) Profit-sharing plan

The Company has a profit-sharing and thrift plan, which qualifies under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The plan, which covers employees not covered under collective bargaining agreements, allows eligible employees to contribute up to 10% of their annual compensation to the plan. The Company is required to contribute a matching amount of up to 2% of the participants' compensation. Profit-sharing expense for the year ended October 25, 2012 was $512.

(B)
Multi employer pension plans

The Company contributes to one multiemployer defined benefit plan under the terms of a collective-bargaining agreement covering its union-represented employees making up 8% of the workforce. The risks of participation in this multiemployer plan are different from single-employer plans in the following aspects: (a) assets contributed to the multiemployer plan by one employer may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating employers, (b) if a participating employer stops contributing to the plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may be borne by the remaining participating employers, and (c) if the Company chooses to stop participating in its multiemployer plan, the Company will be required to pay that plan an amount based on the underfunded status of the plan, referred to as the withdrawal liability.

The Company's participation in this plan for the annual period ended October 25, 2012 is outlined in the table below. The “EIN/Pension Plan Number” column provides the Employee Identification Number (EIN). The zone status is based on information that the Company received from the plan and is certified by the plan's actuary. Among other factors, plans in the red zone are generally less than 65 percent funded, plans in the yellow zone are less than 80 percent funded, and plans in the green zone are at least 80 percent funded. The “FIP/RP Status Pending/Implemented” column indicates plans for which a financial improvement plan (FIP) or a rehabilitation plan (RIP) is either pending or has been implemented. The last column lists the expiration date of the collective-bargaining agreement to which the plan is subject. Finally, the period-to-period comparability of the contributions for years 2011 and 2012 was affected by a 75% increase in the 2012 contribution rate. There have been no other significant changes that affect the comparability of the 2011 and 2012 contributions.
