PURPOSE OF THIS AMENDMENT

TBC Corporation (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 2 to its Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Amendment”) to include certain information inadvertently omitted from Item 9A of Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (10-K/A) filed on April 29, 2005, as well as various exhibits required to be filed with this Amendment. No other information is being amended by this Amendment.

Item 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Rules 13(a)- 15(f) and 15(d)-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer, management of the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management concluded that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004.

The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financing reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Table of Contents

Management’s evaluation of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was based on the framework established in “Internal Control — Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in its report which appears in Item 8.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No change in the Company’s system of internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2004 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
