INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT
The Participants and Administrator of
Monro Muffler Brake, Inc. Profit Sharing Plan
We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for plan benefits of the Monro Muffler Brake, Inc. Profit Sharing Plan as of March 31, 2004 and 2003 and the related statement of changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the year ended March 31, 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plans management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Monro Muffler Brake, Inc. Profit Sharing Plan as of March 31, 2004 and 2003, and the changes of net assets available for plan benefits for the year ended March 31, 2004, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Our audits of the Plans net assets available for plan benefits as of March 31, 2004 and 2003 and the related statement of changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the year ended March 31, 2004, were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental information included in the schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of March 31, 2004 is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labors Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental information is the responsibility of the Plans management. The supplemental information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2004, and in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

MONRO MUFFLER BRAKE, INC.
PROFIT SHARING PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN:
The following brief description of the Monro Muffler Brake, Inc. Profit Sharing Plan (the Plan) is provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan documents for more complete information.
General
Monro Muffler Brake, Inc. (the employer and Plan sponsor) (the Company) voluntarily contributes funds to provide for retirement, termination, disability and death benefits of plan participants.
On November 18, 1999, the Board of Directors approved amending the Plan to add a 401(k) salary deferral option. Prior to this amendment, participant fund balances consisted solely of employer-contributed Profit Sharing amounts adjusted for related gains/losses. In connection with this amendment, a new trustee (the Trustee) and custodian were appointed by the Board of Directors. Plan assets are invested in funds designated by each participant. Participant contributions under the 401(k) salary deferral option began in March 2000. The legal effective date of the Plan amendment was March 1, 2000.
Participation
Full-time, permanent employees of Monro Muffler Brake, Inc. become participants of the Plan on the first of the month following the completion of 90 days of service. To participate, an employee must be 21 years of age. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
Contributions
Participants may contribute from 1% to 30% of their annual pre-tax compensation. Participants may also contribute amounts representing rollovers from other qualified plans. Contributions are subject to certain limitations as required under the Internal Revenue Code.
Participants contributions are matched (401(k) Matching Contributions) by the Company in an amount determined by the Board of Directors of the Company. The Board has currently decided to match the amount of $.50 for every dollar contributed up to 4% of the participants pre-tax compensation. The Company does not make a matching contribution on employee contributions greater than 4%.
Additionally, the Company may contribute to the Plan an additional amount, either in the form of a Profit Sharing Contribution, or in the form of an additional match on 401(k) participant contributions, based on the sole discretion of the Board of Directors. For the year ended March 31, 2004, the Company did not make a Profit Sharing Contribution.
Vesting
Profit Sharing Contributions are allocated by the custodian based on the proportionate share of wages earned by each participant in relation to the total qualified wages for all participants in the Plan.

PROFIT SHARING PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Participants are immediately vested in their own salary reduction contributions plus actual earnings thereon. Vesting in the Company 401(k) Matching Contribution portion of their accounts, plus actual earnings thereon, is based on years of service as defined in the Plan. A participant vests 25% at the end of his/her second year of service, and an additional 25% each year thereafter.
Participants become 100% vested in the Companys Profit Sharing Contributions at the end of five years of service with no vesting in prior years.
Forfeited balances of terminated participants nonvested accounts are used to reduce future Company contributions and to pay administrative expenses of the Plan. Forfeited accounts used to reduce company contributions amounted to approximately $26,000 and $29,000 for the years ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. At March 31, 2004 and 2003, remaining forfeitures available to offset future contributions were approximately $6,000 and $9,000, respectively.
Investment options
All investment options are participant-directed. Participants may change their investment options daily.
Participant loans
Participants may borrow from their 401(k) and profit sharing fund accounts in various amounts as specified by the Plan. Loans must be a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their vested account balances. Loan terms range from one to five years, or up to ten years for purchase of a primary residence. The loans are secured by the balance in the participants account and bear interest at a rate commensurate with local prevailing rates as determined by the Benefits Committee. Principal and interest are paid ratably through payroll deductions. Loans of approximately $349,000 and $467,000 were granted during the years ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Administration
The Monro Muffler Brake, Inc. Benefits Committee is solely responsible for the general administration of the Plan and carrying out the Plan provisions. The Company reserves the right, by action of the Board of Directors, to discontinue contributions and terminate the Plan at any time. In the event of a termination of the Plan, each participant shall immediately become fully vested. The Trustee of the Plans assets is Investors Bank & Trust Company of Boston. The custodian is Diversified Investment Advisors.
Administrative expenses
Plan expenses are primarily paid by the Plan.
Benefit payments
Benefits are recorded when paid.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES:
Basis of accounting
The financial statements of the Plan have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Revenue recognition
Income on plan assets is accrued when earned, and gains or losses on the disposition of such assets are recorded when realized.
Valuation of investment assets
Plan assets are reported at fair market value measured by quoted prices in an active market as of the Plan year-end date. Mutual fund investments are valued at net asset value representing the value at which shares of the fund may be purchased or redeemed.
The Plan presents, in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, the net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of its investments, which consists of the realized gains or losses and the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of those investments.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets available for benefits and changes therein. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Risks and uncertainties
Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate and market risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investments and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of investments, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risk in the near term would materially affect participants account balances and the amount reported in the Statement of Net Assets Available for Plan Benefits and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Plan Benefits.

The Plan held investments in Company securities with a fair value of approximately $693,000 and $376,000 as of March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Benefit obligations for persons who have withdrawn from participation in the Plan were approximately $2,194,000 and $1,852,000 at March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
NOTE 6 FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS:
The Plan administrator has obtained a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service, which qualifies the Plan under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code). The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter. However, the Plan administrator believes that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code. The Plan has applied for a new determination letter prompted by a series of changes in the Code that affect qualified retirement plans.
NOTE 7 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Plan invests in shares of mutual funds managed by an affiliate of Diversified Investment Advisors. Diversified acts as trustee for only those investments as defined by the Plan. Transactions in such investments qualify as party-in-interest transactions, which are exempt from prohibited transaction rules.
