Although the management of Heafner Tire Group, Inc., (the "Company") has been   
working diligently to complete all the required information for its Annual      
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2000 (the "Form      
10-K"), the Company has been unable to complete the Form 10-K by the filing     
deadline of March 30, 2001.                                                     

The inability to file the 10-K on a timely basis is due to the unexpected       
hospitalization of the Company's Director for Financial Reporting, the          
individual primarily responsible for the preparation of the Form 10-K, due to   
complications associated with her pregnancy. Her absence during a critical      
period was particularly significant this year because of actions taken by the   
Company's Board of Directors, subsequent to the end of year, which have required
the Company's retail segment to be treated as a discontinued operation. This    
action necessitated not only modification of the 2000 financial statements, but 
also a restatement of the financial statements for prior years.                 

The Company estimates that the cost of replacement personnel, who first would   
have had to familiarize themselves with the Company's finances in order to      
complete the financial statements on time, would have been in excess of         
$100,000.
