NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. Consolidated Financial Statements

The consolidated balance sheets as of April 30, 2005, the consolidated statements of operations for the thirteen week periods ended April 30, 2005 and May 1, 2004 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the thirteen week periods ended April 30, 2005 and May 1, 2004 have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at April 30, 2005 and for all periods presented have been made.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2005. The results of operations for the thirteen weeks ended April 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year’s consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year’s presentation.

NOTE 2. Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for its stock-based employee compensation plans in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board (APB) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations. For all stock options, no stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net earnings, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Beginning in the first quarter of 2004, the Company issued restricted stock unit awards to certain employees. The recorded expense for these awards under the intrinsic method was $788,000 ($493,000 net of tax) and $698,000 ($439,000 net of tax) for the thirteen weeks ended April 30, 2005 and May 1, 2004, respectively. The following table illustrates the effect on net earnings and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” to stock-based employee compensation:

(dollar amounts in thousands,		Thirteen weeks ended
except per share amounts)		April 30, 2005			May 1, 2004
Net (loss) earnings:

As reported		$	(2,774	)	$	14,551

Less:	Stock option compensation expense determined under the fair value-based method, net of tax	(386		)	(863		)
Pro forma		$	(3,160	)	$	13,688

Net (loss) earnings per share:

Basic:

As reported		$	(0.05	)	$	0.26
Pro forma		$	(0.06	)	$	0.25

Diluted:

As reported		$	(0.05	)	$	0.24
Pro forma		$	(0.06	)	$	0.23

The fair value of each option granted during the periods ending April 30, 2005 and May 1, 2004 is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

	April 30, 2005		May 1, 2004
Dividend yield	1.77	%	1.67	%
Expected volatility	46	%	41	%
Risk-free interest rate range:
high	4.53	%	4.07	%
low	3.46	%	1.97	%

Ranges of expected lives in years	3-8		4-8

NOTE 3. New Accounting Standards

In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections - a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3". SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. SFAS No. 154 also requires that retrospective application of a change in accounting principle be limited to the direct effects of the change. Indirect effects of a change in accounting principle, such as a change in nondiscretionary profit-sharing payments resulting from an accounting change, should be recognized in the period of the accounting change. SFAS No. 154 also requires that a change in depreciation, amortization, or depletion method for long-lived, nonfinancial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate effected by a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Early adoption is permitted for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after the date this Statement is issued. The Company will adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 154 as applicable beginning in fiscal 2006.

In March 2005, the FASB issued Financial Interpretation Number (FIN) 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations”, an interpretation of SFAS 143 (Asset Retirement Obligations). FIN 47 addresses diverse accounting practices that have developed with regard to the timing of liability recognition for legal obligations associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset in which the timing and/or method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. FIN 47 also clarifies when an entity should have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. The provision is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. The Company has not determined the impact that the adoption of FIN 47 will have on its financial position or results of operations.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) or SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment”, which replaces SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” and supercedes Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and subsequently issued stock option related guidance. This statement establishes standards for the accounting of transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods and services, primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods and services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. Entities will be required to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (usually the vesting period). The grant-date fair value of employee share options and similar instruments will be estimated using option-pricing models. If an equity award is modified after the grant date, incremental compensation cost will be recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the fair value of the modified award over the fair value of the original award immediately before the modification.

The Company was initially required to apply SFAS No. 123R to all awards granted, modified or settled as of the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. However, on April 14, 2005, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued a press release that postpones the application of SFAS No. 123R to no later than the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005. For the Company, this is the fiscal year beginning January 29, 2006. The statement also requires the Company to use either the modified-prospective method or modified retrospective method. Under the modified-prospective method, the Company must recognize compensation cost for all awards granted subsequent to adopting the standard and for the unvested portion of previously granted awards outstanding upon adoption. Under the modified retrospective method, the Company must restate its previously issued financial statements to recognize the amounts it previously calculated and reported on a pro-forma basis, as if the prior standard had been adopted. Under both methods, the statement permits the use of either the straight-line or an accelerated method to amortize the cost as an expense for awards with graded vesting. The standard permits and encourages early adoption.

The Company has commenced its analysis of the impact of SFAS No. 123R, but has not yet decided: (1) whether to elect early adoption, (2) the early adoption date, if elected, (3) the use of the modified-prospective or modified retrospective method and (4) the election to use straight-line or an accelerated method. Accordingly, the Company has not determined the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 123R will have on its financial position or results of operations.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets – An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29”. SFAS No. 153 amends Opinion No. 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exemption for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. The provision is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS No. 153 is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s current financial condition or results of operations.

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs, an Amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4 ‘Inventory Pricing’.” The standard requires that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted materials (spoilage) should be excluded from the cost of inventory and expensed when incurred. The provision is effective for fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 4. Merchandise Inventories

Merchandise inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at the end of each fiscal year based on inventory and costs at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations must be based on management’s estimates of expected fiscal year-end inventory levels and costs. If the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method of costing inventory had been used by the Company, inventory would have been $617,466,000 and $588,301,000 as of April 30, 2005 and January 29, 2005, respectively.

The Company also establishes reserves for potentially excess and obsolete inventories based on current inventory levels, the historical analysis of product sales and current market conditions. The nature is such that the risk of obsolescence is minimal and excess inventory has historically been returned to the Company’s vendors for credit. The Company provides reserves when less than full credit is expected from a vendor or when market is lower than recorded costs. The reserves are revised, if necessary, on a quarterly basis for adequacy. The Company’s reserves against inventory for these matters were $12,676,000 at April 30, 2005 and January 29, 2005.

NOTE 5. Accrued Expenses

The Company’s accrued expenses for the periods ending April 30, 2005 and January 29, 2005 were as follows:

On July 31, 2003, the Company announced several initiatives aimed at realigning its business and continuing to improve upon the Company’s profitability. These actions, including the disposal and sublease of the closed properties, were substantially completed by January 31, 2004 with costs of approximately $65,986,000. The Company is accounting for these initiatives in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 146 “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities” and SFAS No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”.

As of April 30, 2005, $571,000 of contributions have been made. The Company now anticipates the total contributions for fiscal 2005 to be approximately $1,440,000.

The Company has 401(k) savings plans which cover all full-time employees who are at least 21 years of age with one or more years of service. The Company contributes the lesser of 50% of the first 6% of a participant’s contributions or 3% of the participant’s compensation. The Company’s savings plans’ contribution expense was $841,000 and $1,026,000 for the thirteen weeks ending April 30, 2005 and May 1, 2004, respectively.

On January 31, 2004, the Company amended and restated its Executive Supplemental Retirement Plan (SERP). This amendment converted the defined benefit plan to a defined contribution plan for certain unvested participants and all future participants. All vested participants will continue to accrue benefits according to the previous defined benefit formula. The Company’s contribution expense for the defined contribution portion of the plan was $218,000 and $217,000 for the thirteen weeks ended April 30, 2005 and May 1, 2004, respectively.

NOTE 10. Advertising Expense

No advertising costs were recorded as assets as of April 30, 2005 or January 29, 2005.

The Company receives funds from vendors in the normal course of business for a variety of reasons, including cooperative advertising. Contracts for cooperative advertising typically have a duration of one year. There were 130 and 106 vendors participating in such contracts for the thirteen weeks ended April 30, 2005 and May 1, 2004, respectively. The Company’s level of advertising expense would not be impacted in the absence of these contracts.

Certain cooperative advertising reimbursements are netted against specific, incremental, identifiable costs incurred in connection with the selling of the vendor’s product. Cooperative advertising reimbursements of $8,826,000 and $9,881,000 for the thirteen weeks ending April 30, 2005 and May 1, 2004, respectively, were recorded as a reduction of advertising expense with the net amount included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations. Any excess reimbursements over these costs are characterized as a reduction of inventory and are recognized as a reduction of cost of sales as the inventories are sold, in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) No. 02-16. The amount of excess reimbursements recognized as a reduction of costs of sales were $10,432,000 and $9,349,000 for the thirteen weeks ending April 30, 2005 and May 1, 2004, respectively. The balance of excess reimbursements remaining in inventory was immaterial at April 30, 2005 and January 29, 2005.

	Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax	(0.01		)	(0.01		)
Diluted (Loss) Earnings Per Share		$	(0.05	)	$	0.24

During the thirteen week period ended April 30, 2005, the diluted loss per common share calculation was the same as the basic loss per common share calculation, as all potentially dilutive securities were anti-dilutive due to the Company’s reported net loss.

At May 1, 2004 there were outstanding 6,672,162 options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, of which 942,000 options were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because these options’ exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares on such dates.

NOTE 12. Warranty Reserve

The Company provides warranties for both its merchandise sales and service labor. Warranties for merchandise are generally covered by its vendors, with the Company covering any costs above the vendor’s stipulated allowance. Service labor warranties are covered in full by the Company on a limited lifetime basis. The Company establishes its warranty reserves based on historical data of warranty transactions.

Components of the reserve for warranty costs for the thirteen week period ending April 30, 2005 are as follows:

(dollar amounts in thousands)
Beginning balance at January 29, 2005	$	1,324

Additions related to current period sales	2,289

Warranty costs incurred in current period	(2,292		)
Ending Balance at April 30, 2005	$	1,321

NOTE 13. Debt and Financing Arrangements

In the first quarter of fiscal 2005 the Company reclassified, to current liabilities on its consolidated balance sheet, $43,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.88% Medium-Term Notes with a stated maturity date of March 6, 2006.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2004, the Company entered into a vendor financing program with an availability of $20,000,000. Under this program, the Company’s factor makes accelerated and discounted payments to its vendors and the Company, in turn, makes its regularly scheduled full vendor payments to the factor. As of April 30, 2005, the Company had an outstanding balance of $3,643,000 under these arrangements, classified as trade payable program liability in the consolidated balance sheet.

In October 2001, the Company entered into a contractual commitment to purchase media advertising services with equal annual purchase requirements totaling $39,773,000 over four years. The remaining minimum purchase requirement for 2005 (the final year of this commitment) is $5,245,000 which the Company expects to meet.

NOTE 14. Supplemental Guarantor Information

On December 14, 2004, the Company issued $200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 7.50% Senior Subordinated Notes due December 15, 2014, and on May 21, 2002, the Company issued $150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.25% Convertible Senior Notes due June 1, 2007. Both issuances are unsecured and jointly and severally guaranteed by the Company’s wholly-owned direct and indirect operating subsidiaries, The Pep Boys Manny Moe & Jack of California, Pep Boys - Manny, Moe & Jack of Delaware, Inc. and Pep Boys - Manny, Moe & Jack of Puerto Rico, Inc.

NOTE 15. Contingencies

An action entitled “Tomas Diaz Rodriguez; Energy Tech Corporation v. Pep Boys Corporation; Manny, Moe & Jack Corp. Puerto Rico, Inc. d/b/a Pep Boys” was previously instituted against the Company in the Court of First Instance of Puerto Rico, Bayamon Superior Division on March 15, 2002. The action was subsequently removed to, and is currently pending in, the United States District Court for the District of Puerto Rico. Plaintiffs are distributors of a product that claims to improve gas mileage. The plaintiffs alleged that the Company entered into an agreement with them to act as the exclusive retailer of the product in Puerto Rico that was breached when the Company determined to stop selling the product. On March 29, 2004, the Company’s motion for summary judgment was granted and the case was dismissed. The plaintiff appealed and, on June 3, 2005, the United States Court of Appeal for the First Circuit vacated the summary judgment order and remanded the case to the Court of First Instance of Puerto Rico, Bayamon Superior Division for lack of federal subject matter jurisdiction. The Company continues to believe that the claims are without merit and to vigorously defend this action.

The Company is also party to various other actions and claims, including purported class actions, arising in the normal course of business. The Company believes that amounts accrued for awards or assessments in connection with the foregoing matters are adequate and that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 16. Sale of Common Stock

On March 24, 2004, the Company sold 4,646,464 shares of common stock (par value $1 per share) at a price of $24.75 per share for net proceeds of $108,854,000.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The discussion and analysis below for the Company should be read in conjunction with (i) the financial statements and the notes to such financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and (ii) the financial statements and the notes to such financial statements included in Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2005.

OVERVIEW

The Pep Boys - Manny, Moe & Jack is a leader in the automotive aftermarket with 593 stores located throughout 36 states and Puerto Rico. All of our stores feature the nationally-recognized Pep Boys brand name, established through more than 80 years of providing high-quality automotive merchandise and services, and are company-owned, ensuring chain-wide consistency for our customers. We are the only national chain offering automotive service, accessories, tires and parts under one roof, positioning us to achieve our goal of becoming the category dominant one-stop shop for automotive maintenance products and services.

For the thirteen weeks ended April 30, 2005, our comparative sales decreased by 0.3%, compared to an increase of 11.0% for the thirteen weeks ended May 1, 2004. This decrease in comparable sales is due primarily to a 4.6% decrease in comparable service revenue coupled with substantially flat comparable merchandise sales. Comparable merchandise sales were negatively impacted by internal changes within our locations due to the store refurbishment program, ongoing training and organizational changes.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2005, we continued to reinvest in our existing stores to completely redesign their interiors and enhance their exterior appeal. Our new interior design features four distinct merchandising worlds: accessories (fashion, electronic and performance merchandise), maintenance (hard parts and chemicals), garage (repair shop and travel) and service (including tire, wheel and accessory installation). We believe that this layout provides customers with a clear and concise way of finding what they need and will promote cross-selling. In addition, part of the refurbishment is to move our service desks and waiting areas inside the retail stores adjacent to our tire offering displays. Modifications to the exterior of our stores are designed to increase customer traffic. We customize the level of investment in each store to reflect the store’s current level of upkeep, the store’s potential, and commitment to that store’s location.

At fiscal 2004 year end, approximately 120 stores were in various stages of remodeling while approximately 15 stores had been grand reopened. During the thirteen weeks ended April 30, 2005, we grand reopened approximately 75 stores in the Los Angeles, CA metropolitan market, while approximately 100-150 additional stores are expected to be remodeled and grand reopened during the remainder of fiscal 2005. In fiscal 2006, we expect to remodel and grand reopen an additional 200-250 stores, with the balance expected to be completed in fiscal 2007.

The following discussion explains the material changes in our results of operations for the thirteen weeks ended April 30, 2005 and the significant developments affecting our financial condition since January 29, 2005. We strongly recommend that you read the audited financial statements and footnotes and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2005.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - April 30, 2005

Our cash requirements arise principally from capital expenditures related to existing stores, offices and warehouses and from the purchase of inventory. The primary capital expenditures for the thirteen weeks ended April 30, 2005 were attributed to capital maintenance of our existing stores and offices including store redesigns. During this period, we invested $22,492,000 in property and equipment. We estimate that capital expenditures related to existing stores, warehouses and offices during the remainder of fiscal 2005 will be approximately $88,000,000, related primarily to the redesign of our existing stores.

We anticipate that our net cash provided by operating activities and our existing line of credit will exceed our principal cash requirements for capital expenditures, debt maturities and inventory purchases in fiscal 2005.

Working Capital decreased from $180,651,000 at January 29, 2005 to $139,835,000 at April 30, 2005. At April 30, 2005, we had stockholders’ equity of $651,086,000 and long-term debt, net of current maturities, of $420,331,000. Our long-term debt was 39% of our total capitalization at April 30, 2005 and 42% at January 29, 2005. As of April 30, 2005, we had an available line of credit totaling $236,646,000.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2004, as a convenience to our vendors, we entered into a vendor financing program with an availability of $20,000,000. Under this program, the Company’s factor makes accelerated and discounted payments to its vendors and the Company, in turn, makes its regularly scheduled full vendor payments to the factor. As of April 30, 2005, the Company had an outstanding balance of $3,643,000 under these arrangements, classified as trade payable program liability in the consolidated balance sheet.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2004, we announced a share repurchase program for up to $100,000,000 of our common stock. Under the program, we may repurchase shares of our common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, from time to time prior to September 8, 2005. As of January 29, 2005, we had repurchased a total of 3,077,000 shares at an average cost of $12.91 ($39,718,000). There were no repurchases in the thirteen weeks ended April 30, 2005.

In October 2001, we entered into a contractual commitment to purchase media advertising services with equal annual purchase requirements totaling $39,773,000 over four years. The remaining minimum purchase requirement for 2005 (the final year of this commitment) is $5,245,000, which the Company expects to meet.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

In the first quarter of 2005, the Company entered into an operating lease for a new distribution center in San Bernardino, CA. The Company will terminate its three existing Los Angeles, California distribution center/warehouse leases and consolidate its California warehouse operations into the new facility during the second quarter of fiscal 2005.

RESTRUCTURING

Following the Profit Enhancement Plan launched in October 2000, the Company conducted a comprehensive review of its operations including individual store performance, the entire management infrastructure and our merchandise and service offerings. On July 31, 2003, the Company announced several restructuring initiatives aimed at realigning its business and continuing to improve upon its profitability. These actions were substantially completed by January 31, 2004 with net costs of approximately $65,986,000. The Company is accounting for these initiatives in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 146 “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities” and SFAS No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”.

Discontinued Operations

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, our discontinued operations reflect the ongoing costs associated with the four unsold stores remaining from the 33 stores closed on July 31, 2003 as part of our corporate restructuring noted above.

(1) Service revenue consists of the labor charge for installing merchandise or maintaining or repairing vehicles, excluding the sale of any installed parts or materials.

(2) Costs of merchandise sales include the cost of products sold, buying, warehousing and store occupancy costs. Costs of service revenue include service center payroll and related employee benefits and service center occupancy costs. Occupancy costs include utilities, rents, real estate and property taxes, repairs and maintenance and depreciation and amortization expenses.

(3) As a percentage of related sales or revenue, as applicable.

(4) As a percentage of earnings before income taxes.

Thirteen Weeks Ended April 30, 2005 vs. Thirteen Weeks Ended May 1, 2004

Total revenues for the first quarter decreased 0.3%. This slight decrease was due primarily to relatively flat comparable (revenues generated by stores in operation during the same period) merchandise sales of 0.7% offset by a 4.6% decrease in comparable service revenue.

Gross profit from merchandise sales decreased as a percentage of merchandise sales, to 26.3% in fiscal 2005 from 29.4% in fiscal 2004. This was a 9.9% or $13,350,000 decrease from the prior year. This decrease, as a percentage of merchandise sales, was due primarily to lower merchandise margins and increased store occupancy costs. The decrease in merchandise margins was primarily due to an adverse product mix including lower sales from high margin products such as parts, and higher freight and handling costs. The increase in store occupancy costs was due primarily to increased costs associated with the new point-of-sale system and building and equipment maintenance expenses related to the store refurbishment program.

Gross profit from service revenue decreased, as a percentage of service revenue, to 16.4% in fiscal 2005 from 25.4% in fiscal 2004. This was a 38.3% or $10,237,000 decrease from the prior year. This decrease, as a percentage of service revenue, was due primarily to decreased service revenue and increased service payroll and benefits. The decrease in service revenue was mainly caused by reduced overall labor revenues, despite increased labor for lighter services, such as oil changes and battery replacements. The increase in service payroll and benefits was primarily due to a restructuring of field operations on January 30, 2005 whereby approximately $4,725,000 of payroll and related benefit costs of service personnel assisting in the retail function had previously been recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses, but due to current responsibilities are recognized in costs of service revenue.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased, as a percentage of total revenues, to 24.0% in fiscal 2005 from 22.9% in fiscal 2004. This increase, as a percentage of total revenues, was due primarily to an increase in net media expenses offset, in part, by a decrease in store expenses. The increase in net media expense was due primarily to incremental circular advertising, plus increased sales promotion expense of approximately $4,000,000 related to the grand reopening of approximately 75 stores in the Los Angeles, CA metropolitan market and decreased vendor support funds for cooperative advertising. The decrease in store expenses was primarily caused by a decrease of approximately $4,725,000 in payroll and related benefit costs (see above explanation of field operations restructuring), offset by increased workers’ compensation expense, and increased travel expense associated with the store refurbishment program.

Interest expense decreased from the first quarter of fiscal 2004 by 4.1%, due primarily to lower debt levels.

Net earnings decreased, as a percentage of total revenues, due primarily to a decrease in total gross profit as a percentage of sales.

INDUSTRY COMPARISON

We operate one segment in the U.S. automotive aftermarket, which consists of the Do-It-For-Me (“DIFM”) (service labor, installed merchandise and tires) market and the Do-It-Yourself (“DIY”) (retail merchandise) market. Generally, the specialized automotive retailers focus on either the “DIY” or “DIFM” areas of the business. We believe that our operation in both the “DIY” and “DIFM” areas of the business positively differentiates us from most of our competitors. Although we manage our store performance at a store level in aggregation, we believe that the following presentation shows the comparison against competitors within the two areas. We compete in the “DIY” area of the business through our retail sales floor and commercial sales business (Retail Business). We consider our Service Business (labor and installed merchandise and tires) to compete in the DIFM area of the industry. The following table presents the revenues and gross profit for each area of the business.

	Thirteen weeks ended

(2) Includes revenues from installed products.

(3) Gross Profit from Retail Revenues includes the cost of products sold (excluding installations), buying, warehousing and store occupancy costs. Gross Profit from Service Business Revenues includes the cost of installed products sold, buying, warehousing, service center payroll and related employee benefits and service center occupancy costs. Occupancy costs include utilities, rents, real estate and property taxes, repairs and maintenance and depreciation and amortization expenses.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections - a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3". SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. SFAS No. 154 also requires that retrospective application of a change in accounting principle be limited to the direct effects of the change. Indirect effects of a change in accounting principle, such as a change in nondiscretionary profit-sharing payments resulting from an accounting change, should be recognized in the period of the accounting change. SFAS No. 154 also requires that a change in depreciation, amortization, or depletion method for long-lived, nonfinancial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate effected by a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Early adoption is permitted for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after the date this Statement is issued. The Company will adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 154 as applicable beginning in fiscal 2006.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets - An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29”. SFAS No. 153 amends Opinion No. 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exemption for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. The provision is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS No. 153 is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s current financial condition or results of operations.

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “ Inventory Costs, an Amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4 ‘inventory Pricing’.” The standard requires that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted materials (spoilage) should be excluded from the cost of inventory and expensed when incurred. The provision is effective for fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to customer incentives, product returns and warranty obligations, bad debts, inventories, income taxes, financing operations, restructuring costs, retirement benefits, risk participation agreements and contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. For a detailed discussion of significant accounting policies that may involve a higher degree of judgment or complexity, refer to “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” as reported in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended January 29, 2005, which disclosures are hereby incorporated by reference.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements contained herein constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The words “guidance,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimates,” “forecasts” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include management’s expectations regarding future financial performance, automotive aftermarket trends, levels of competition, business development activities, future capital expenditures, financing sources and availability and the effects of regulation and litigation. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that its expectations will be achieved. The Company’s actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements due to factors beyond the control of the Company, including the strength of the national and regional economies, retail and commercial consumers’ ability to spend, the health of the various sectors of the automotive aftermarket, the weather in geographical regions with a high concentration of the Company’s stores, competitive pricing, the location and number of competitors’ stores, product and labor costs and the additional factors described in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The Company assumes no obligation to update or supplement forward-looking statements that become untrue because of subsequent events.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company does not utilize financial instruments for trading purposes and holds no derivative financial instruments which could expose the Company to significant market risk. The Company’s primary market risk exposure with regard to financial instruments is to changes in interest rates. Pursuant to the terms of its revolving credit agreement, changes in the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) could affect the rates at which the Company could borrow funds thereunder. At April 30, 2005, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under this facility. Additionally, we have $132,000,000 of real estate operating leases which vary based on changes in LIBOR. We have entered into an interest rate swap, which was designated as a cash flow hedge to convert the variable LIBOR portion of these lease payments to a fixed rate of 2.90%, terminating on July 1, 2008 (coterminous with the leases noted above). If the critical terms of the interest rate swap or the hedge item do not change, the interest rate swap will be considered to be highly effective with all changes in fair value included in other comprehensive income. As of April 30, 2005 and January 29, 2005, the fair value of the interest rate swap was $4,624,000 ($2,920,000 net of tax) and $3,721,000 ($2,344,000, net of tax) and these changes in value were included in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the consolidated balance sheet.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
