THE PEP BOYS - MANNY, MOE & JACK AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
The consolidated balance sheets as of July 31, 2004, the consolidated
statements of operations for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended
July 31, 2004 and August 2, 2003 and the consolidated statements of cash flows
for the twenty-six week periods ended July 31, 2004 and August 2, 2003 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 July 31, 2004 and for all periods presented have
been made.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these
condensed 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 31, 2004. The results of
operations for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended July 31, 2004
are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
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. 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 $149,000 ($94,000 net
of tax) and $847,000 ($534,000 net of tax) for the thirteen and twenty-six
weeks ended July 31, 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:

The fair value of each option granted during the periods ending July 31, 2004
and August 2, 2003 is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:
July 31, 2004 August 2, 2003

Dividend yield 1.67% 1.57%
Expected volatility 41% 42%
Risk-free interest rate range:
high 4.7% 4.4%
low 2.0% 1.5%
Ranges of expected lives in years 3-8 4-8
- ------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 3. New Accounting Standards
In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS
No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure,
an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123," to provide alternative methods of
transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting
for stock-based compensation. We have adopted the disclosure requirements of
this statement. In March 2004, the FASB issued a proposed SFAS - "Share-based
Payment: an Amendment of FASB Statements No. 123 and 95." The proposed standard
would require companies to expense share-based payments to employees, including
stock options, based on the fair value of the award at the grant date. The
proposed statement would eliminate the intrinsic value method of accounting for
stock-based compensation permitted by APB (Accounting Principles Board) No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," which we currently follow. We will
continue to monitor the actions of the FASB and assess the impact, if any, on
our consolidated financial statements.
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. Replacement cost, which approximates FIFO
cost was $575,930,000 and $531,830,000 at July 31, 2004 and January 31, 2004,
respectively.
NOTE 5. Accrued Expenses
The Company's accrued expenses for the periods ending July 31, 2004 and

NOTE 7. Restructuring
Building upon 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
its merchandise and service offerings. 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 properties, were substantially completed by
July 31 ,2004 and costs were approximately $71,300,000. 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".
Reserve Summary
The following chart details the reserve balances through July 31, 2004. The

Note 8. Discontinued Operations
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, the Company's discontinued operations reflect
the operating results for the 33 stores closed on July 31, 2003 as part of the
Company's corporate restructuring.
Additionally, the Company has classified certain assets as assets held for
disposal on its consolidated balance sheets. As of July 31, 2004 and
January 31, 2004, these assets were as follows:
(Dollar amounts in thousands) July 31, 2004 Jan. 31, 2004
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Land $ 2,012 $ 8,954
Building and improvements 1,106 7,975
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assets held for disposal $ 3,118 $ 16,929
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Six of the Company's closed stores remained unsold as of July 31, 2004. Three
of the properties are without signed agreements of sale and were reclassified
in the second quarter of fiscal 2004 to assets held for use at market value,
which is lower than cost adjusted for depreciation. The other three properties
have signed agreements of sale as of July 31, 2004 and therefore will remain in
assets held for disposal until the completion of those sales.
During the second quarter of 2004, the Company sold assets held for disposal
for proceeds of $3,652,000 resulting in a loss of $157,000 which was recorded in
discontinued operations on the consolidated statement of operations.
During the first quarter of 2004, the Company sold assets held for disposal for
proceeds of $6,879,000 resulting in a gain of $172,000 which was recorded in
discontinued operations on the consolidated statement of operations.

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 $212,000 and $429,000 for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ending

Adjustments for the convertible senior notes were anti-dilutive during the
thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended August 2, 2003 and therefore
excluded from the computation of diluted EPS. Options to purchase 944,000 and
939,000 shares of common stock were outstanding at July 31, 2004 and
August 2, 2003, respectively, but were not included in the computation of
diluted EPS because the options' exercise prices were greater than the average
market price of the common shares on such dates.

NOTE 12. Debt and Financing Arrangements
In the second quarter of 2004, the Company reclassified $100,000,000
aggregate principal amount of 7.00% notes with a stated maturity date of
June 1, 2005 to current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.
In the second quarter of fiscal 2004, the Company prepaid $5,000,000 aggregate
principal amount of 6.71% Medium-Term Notes with a stated maturity date of
November 3, 2004.
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 minimum required purchases for 2004 and 2005
(the remaining two years of this commitment) are $8,112,000 and $7,457,000,
respectively. During the second quarter of fiscal 2004, it was determined that
the Company would be unable to meet this obligation for the 2004 contract year
which ends on November 30, 2004. As a result, the Company recorded a $1,579,000
charge to selling, general and administrative expenses in the quarter ending
July 31, 2004 related to the anticipated shortfall in this purchase commitment.
In May 2001, the Company sold certain operating assets for $14,000,000. The
assets were leased back from the purchaser in a lease structured as a one-year
term with three one-year renewal options. The resulting lease was accounted for
as an operating lease and the gain of $3,817,000 from the sale of certain
operating assets was deferred at the time of sale. In May 2004, the Company
repurchased these assets for $5,468,000. The remaining deferred gain of
$3,729,000 was netted against the purchase price of the repurchased assets
resulting in a net book value of $1,739,000 recorded on the consolidated
balance sheet as of July 31, 2004 for the repurchased assets.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2004, the Company prepaid $20,919,000 aggregate
principal amount of its Senior Secured Credit Facility with a stated maturity
date of July 1, 2006.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2004, the Company retired $32,000,000 aggregate
principal amount of 6.75% Medium-Term Notes with a stated maturity date of
March 10, 2004 and $25,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.65% Medium-Term
Notes with a stated maturity date of March 3, 2004.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2004, the Company entered into arrangements with
certain of its vendors and banks to extend payment terms on certain merchandise
purchases. Under this program, the bank makes payments to the vendor based
upon a negotiated discount rate between the parties and the Company makes its
payment of the full payable to the bank at the extended payment term. As of
July 31, 2004, all obligations under these arrangements were fully satisfied and
the agreement was terminated.

NOTE 14. 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 has appealed.
The Company continues to believe that the claims are without merit and to
vigorously defend this matter.
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 15. 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
OVERVIEW
- --------
The Pep Boys - Manny, Moe & Jack is a leader in the automotive aftermarket with
595 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 and
accessories.
For the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2004, our comparative
sales increased by 6.9% and 8.8%, respectively, compared to (1.7)% and (3.5)%
for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 2, 2003, respectively. This
increase in comparable sales is due primarily to new product offerings and
increased overall foot traffic at our stores.
On March 24, 2004, we successfully completed a common stock offering for net
proceeds of $108,854,000. We have used the proceeds from this stock sale to
repay the outstanding balance under our revolving credit facility (which was
used along with cash to repay the $57,000,000 aggregate principal amount of
medium term notes that matured on March 3, 2004 and March 10, 2004) and to
prepay $20,919,000 aggregate principal amount outstanding under our senior
secured (equipment and real estate) credit facility. The remaining balance will
be applied to store redesigns.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2004, 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. The most important of these changes
is to move all of 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.
The following discussion explains the material changes in our results of
operations for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2004 and
August 2, 2003 and the significant developments affecting our financial
condition since January 31, 2004. We strongly recommend that you read our
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 31, 2004.
21
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - July 31, 2004
- ------------------------------------------------
For the twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2004, we increased our cash and cash
equivalents by $22,909,000 from the balance at January 31, 2004. This increase
was due primarily to the net proceeds from our March 24, 2004 common stock
offering offset, in part, by a decrease in accounts payable, an increase in
merchandise inventories, reductions of long-term debt and the payment of the
legal settlement discussed below in the first quarter of 2004.
We have used the $108,854,000 net proceeds from the common stock offering to
repay the outstanding balance under our existing line of credit (which was
used along with cash from operations to repay the $57,000,000 aggregate
principal amount of medium term notes that matured on March 3, 2004 and
March 10, 2004) and to prepay $20,919,000 aggregate principal amount
outstanding under our senior secured (equipment and real estate) credit
facility in the first quarter of 2004. The remaining balance will be applied to
store redesigns.
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 twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2004 were
attributed to capital maintenance of our existing stores and offices including
store redesigns. During this period, we invested $28,830,000 in property and
equipment, which is a 35% increase from the amount invested in the same period
in the previous fiscal year. We estimate that capital expenditures related to
existing stores, warehouses and offices during the remainder of fiscal 2004
will be approximately $64,522,000, related primarily to the redesign of our
existing stores.
We anticipate that our net cash provided by operating activities, the net
proceeds from our common stock offering and our existing line of credit will
exceed our principal cash requirements for capital expenditures and inventory
purchases in fiscal 2004.
Working Capital increased from $76,227,000 at January 31, 2004 to $115,310,000
at July 31, 2004. At July 31, 2004, we had stockholders' equity of $756,768,000
and long-term debt, net of current maturities, of $294,727,000. Our long-term
debt was 28% of our total capitalization at July 31, 2004 and 40% at
January 31, 2004. As of July 31, 2004, we had an available line of credit
totaling $183,704,000.
In the second quarter of 2004, we reclassified $100,000,000 aggregate principal
amount of 7.00% notes with a stated maturity date of June 1, 2005 to current
liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. We anticipate that we will
repurchase these notes with cash from operations and borrowing against our
existing line of credit.
In the second quarter of fiscal 2004, we prepaid $5,000,000 aggregate principal
amount of 6.71% Medium-Term Notes with a stated maturity date of November 3,
2004 from cash from operations.
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 minimum required purchases for 2004 and 2005
(the remaining two years of this commitment) are $8,112,000 and $7,457,000
respectively. During the second quarter of fiscal 2004, it was determined that
we would be unable to meet this obligation for the 2004 contract year which ends
on November 30, 2004. As a result, we recorded a $1,579,000 charge to selling,
general and administrative expenses in the quarter ended July 31, 2004 related
to the anticipated shortfall in this purchase commitment.
In May 2001, we sold certain operating assets for $14,000,000. The assets were
leased back from the purchaser in a lease structured as a one-year term with
three one-year renewal options. The resulting lease was accounted for as an
operating lease and the gain of $3,817,000 from the sale of certain operating
assets was deferred at the time of sale. In May 2004, we repurchased these
assets for $5,468,000. The remaining deferred gain of $3,729,000 was netted
against the purchase price of the repurchased assets resulting in a net book
value of $1,739,000 recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as of July 31,
2004 for the repurchased assets.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2004, we prepaid $20,919,000 aggregate
principal amount of our senior secured (equipment and real estate) credit
facility with a stated maturity date of July 1, 2006. This prepayment was
funded out of cash from operations and our existing revolving credit facility.
22
In the first quarter of fiscal 2004, we retired $32,000,000 aggregate principal
amount of 6.75% Medium-Term Notes with a stated maturity date of March 10, 2004
and $25,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.65% Medium-Term Notes with a
stated maturity date of March 3, 2004. These notes were retired with cash from
operations and our existing line of credit.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2004, we entered into arrangements with certain
of our vendors and banks to extend payment terms on certain merchandise
purchases. Under this program, the bank makes payments to the vendor based upon
a negotiated discount rate between the parties and we make our payment of the
full payable to the bank at the extended payment term. As of July 31, 2004, all
obligations under these arrangements were fully satisfied and the agreement was
terminated.
In the third quarter of 2003, we reached an agreement, through binding
arbitration, to settle the consolidated action entitled "Dubrow et al vs. The
Pep Boys - Manny Moe & Jack". The two consolidated actions, originally filed
on March 29, 2000 and July 25, 2000 in the California Superior Court in Orange
County, involved former and current store management employees who claimed that
they were improperly classified as exempt from the overtime provisions of
California law and sought to be compensated for all overtime hours worked. We
paid the settlement in the first quarter of fiscal 2004 from cash from
operations and our existing line of credit.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
- ------------------------------
There have been no material changes to off-balance sheet arrangements as
reflected in the 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 31, 2004.
RESTRUCTURING
- -------------
Building upon the Profit Enhancement Plan launched in October 2000, we
conducted a comprehensive review of our operations including individual store
performance, the entire management infrastructure and our merchandise and
service offerings. On July 31, 2003, we announced several initiatives aimed
at realigning our business and continuing to improve upon our profitability.
These actions, including the disposal and sublease of the properties, were
substantially completed by July 31 ,2004 and costs were approximately
$71,300,000. We are 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".
Reserve Summary
The following chart details the reserve balances through July 31, 2004. The

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, our discontinued operations reflect the
operating results for the 33 stores closed on July 31, 2003 as part of our
corporate restructuring.
Additionally, we have classified certain assets as assets held for disposal
on its consolidated balance sheets. As of July 31, 2004 and
January 31, 2004, these assets were as follows:
(Dollar amounts in thousands) July 31, 2004 Jan. 31, 2004
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Land $ 2,012 $ 8,954
Building and improvements 1,106 7,975
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assets held for disposal $ 3,118 $ 16,929
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Six of our closed stores remained unsold as of July 31, 2004. Three of the
properties are without signed agreements of sale and were reclassified in the
second quarter of fiscal 2004 to assets held for use at market value, which is
lower than cost adjusted for depreciation. The other three properties have
signed agreements of sale as of July 31, 2004 and therefore will remain in
assets held for disposal until the completion of those sales.
During the second quarter of 2004, we sold assets held for disposal for
proceeds of $3,652,000 resulting in a loss of $157,000 which was recorded in
discontinued operations on the consolidated statement of operations.
During the first quarter of 2004, we sold assets held for disposal for proceeds
of $6,879,000 resulting in a gain of $172,000 which was recorded in
discontinued operations on the consolidated statement of operations.

primarily to an increase in comparable revenues (revenues generated by
locations in operation during the same period) of 6.9%. Comparable merchandise
sales increased 8.4% while comparable service revenue increased 0.3%.
Gross profit from merchandise sales increased, as a percentage of merchandise
sales, to 29.2% in fiscal 2004 from 23.6% in fiscal 2003. This was a 34.3% or
$36,440,000 increase from the prior year. This increase, as a percentage of
merchandise sales, was due primarily to an increase in merchandise margins and
a decrease in store occupancy costs offset, in part, by an increase in
warehousing costs. The increase in merchandise margins was primarily due to the
impact of a $24,580,000 inventory write-down made in the second quarter of
fiscal 2003 associated with the corporate restructuring. The decrease in store
occupancy costs, as a percentage of merchandise sales, was due to the impact of
a charge made in 2003 for an asset impairment of $2,121,000 coupled with lower
rent, utilities and building maintenance expenses, as a percentage of
merchandise sales. The increase in warehousing costs, as a percentage of
merchandise sales, was a result of increased hauling and public storage costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased, as a percentage of
total revenues, to 23.0% in fiscal 2004 from 25.7% in fiscal 2003. This
decrease, as a percentage of total revenues, was due primarily to a decrease
in general office costs offset, in part, by an increase in net media expenses.
The decrease in general office costs was due primarily to the impact of charges
made in the second quarter 2003 of $6,500,000 and $5,613,000 for litigation
expenses and costs associated with the corporate restructuring, respectively.
The increase in net media expense, as a percentage of total revenues, was due
primarily to a decrease in cooperative advertising.
Interest expense decreased 18.8% or $1,803,000 due primarily to lower debt
levels.
Results from discontinued operations for the second quarter of 2004 was a loss
of $852,000 (net of tax) compared to a loss of $22,802,000 (net of tax) in the
second quarter of fiscal 2003. The loss recorded in the second quarter of
fiscal 2004 is primarily related to changes in estimated market values for
assets held for disposal and lease and maintenance costs related to stores
closed in the second quarter of fiscal 2003. The loss in fiscal 2003 was due
primarily to the charge associated with the closure of those stores.
Net earnings increased, as a percentage of total revenues, due primarily to
an increase in gross profit from merchandise sales, as a percentage of
merchandise sales, a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses
and interest expense, as a percentage of total revenues, and the decrease in the
loss from discontinued operations.

Twenty-six Weeks Ended July 31, 2004 vs. Twenty-six Weeks Ended August 2, 2003
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total revenues for the first twenty-six weeks increased 8.7%. This increase was
due primarily to an increase in comparable revenues (revenues generated by
locations in operation during the same period) of 8.8%. Comparable merchandise
sales increased 10.3%, while comparable service revenue increased 2.8%.
Gross profit from merchandise sales increased, as a percentage of merchandise
sales, to 29.4% in fiscal 2004 from 26.3% in fiscal 2003. This was a 23.1% or
$52,476,000 increase from the prior year. This increase, as a percentage of
merchandise sales, was due primarily to an increase in merchandise margins and
a decrease in store occupancy costs offset, in part, by an increase in
warehousing costs. The increase in merchandise margins was primarily due to the
impact of a $24,580,000 inventory write-down made in the second quarter of
fiscal 2003 associated with the corporate restructuring. The decrease in store
occupancy costs, as a percentage of merchandise sales, was due to the impact of
a charge made in 2003 for an asset impairment of $2,121,000 coupled with lower
rent, utilities and building maintenance expenses, as a percentage of
merchandise sales. The increase in warehousing costs, as a percentage of
merchandise sales, was a result of increased hauling and public storage costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased, as a percentage of
total revenues, to 23.0% in fiscal 2004 from 27.3% in fiscal 2003. This was an
8.4% or $24,570,000 decrease from the prior year. This decrease, as a
percentage of total revenues, was due primarily to a decrease in general
office costs and employee benefits offset, in part, by an increase in net media
expenses. The decrease in general office costs was due primarily to the impact
of charges made in fiscal 2003 of $26,500,000 and $5,613,000 for litigation
expenses and costs associated with the corporate restructuring, respectively.
The decrease in employee benefits is due primarily to the impact of a charge
made in 2003 for the settlement of a retirement plan obligation. The increase
in net media expense, as a percentage of total revenues was due primarily to
a decrease in cooperative advertising.
Interest expense decreased 15.8% or $3,206,000 due primarily to lower debt
levels.
Results from discontinued operations for 2004 was a loss of $1,383,000 (net of
tax) compared to a loss of $22,208,000 (net of tax) in 2003. The change was due
primarily to the discontinued stores being in operation through the second
quarter of 2003. The loss in 2004 is primarily related to changes in estimated
market values of assets held for disposal and lease and maintenance costs
related to stores closed in the second quarter of 2003. The loss in fiscal 2003
was due primarily to the charge associated with the closure of those stores.
Net earnings increased, as a percentage of total revenues, due primarily to
an increase in gross profit from merchandise sales, as a percentage of
merchandise sales, a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses
and a decrease in interest expense, as a percentage of total revenues coupled
with a decrease in the loss from discontinued operations and the impact of a
net charge for the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle for
the adoption of SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations"
recorded in fiscal 2003.

INDUSTRY COMPARISON
- --------------------
The Company operates in the U.S. automotive aftermarket, which is split into
two areas: 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. The Company believes that its operation in both
the "DIY" and "DIFM" areas of the business positively differentiates it from
most of its competitors. Although the Company manages its store performance at
a store level in aggregation, management believes that the following
presentation shows the comparison against competitors within the two areas.
The Company competes in the "DIY" area of the business through its retail sales
floor and commercial sales business (Retail Business). The Company considers
its 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.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
- ------------------------
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-based
Compensation - Transition and Disclosure, an Amendment of FASB Statement
No. 123," to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change
to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation. We
have adopted the disclosure requirements of this statement. In March 2004,
the FASB issued a proposed SFAS - "Share-based Payment: an Amendment of FASB
Statements No. 123 and 95." The proposed standard would require companies to
expense share-based payments to employees, including stock options, based on
the fair value of the award at the grant date. The proposed statement would
eliminate the intrinsic value method of accounting for stock-based compensation
permitted by APB (Accounting Principles Board) No. 25, "Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees," which we currently follow. We will continue to monitor
the actions of the FASB and assess the impact, if any, on our consolidated
financial statements.
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. 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 31, 2004, 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.
30
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 July 31, 2004, the Company had outstanding borrowings of
$187,000 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% and
terminates on July 1,2008. 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 July 31, 2004, the fair value of the interest rate swap was
$3,961,000 ($2,502,000 net of tax) and this change in value was included in
accumulated other comprehensive income on the consolidated balance sheet.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's principal
executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness
of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period
covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the chief executive officer
and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report are functioning
effectively to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be
disclosed by the Company in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
specified in the SEC's rules and forms. A controls system, no matter how well
designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of
the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute
assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a
company have been detected.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
No change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting occurred
during the fiscal quarter covered by this report that has materially affected,
or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control
over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
- ---------------------------
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
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 has appealed. The Company continues to
believe that the claims are without merit and to vigorously defend
this matter.
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.
