NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note A - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and therefore do
not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of
financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.  However, in the opinion of
management, all adjustments necessary to a fair statement of the operations of
the interim period have been made.  These adjustments are of a normal recurring
nature.  The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30,
1994, are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year.

Note B - Accounting Changes

During the quarter ended March 31, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions" which requires the projected
future costs of providing postretirement benefits, such as health care and life
insurance, be recognized as an expense as employees render service instead of
when benefits are paid.  The Company has applied the new rules using the
cumulative effect method, resulting in a charge of $5,055,000 (net of income
taxes of $3,095,000).

Also during the quarter ended March 31, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes".  The
cumulative effect as of January 1, 1993, of adopting Statement 109 increased
net income by $4,000,000.  As permitted by the Statement, prior year financial
statements have not been restated to reflect the impact of the change in
accounting method.

The adoption of Statements 106 and 109 did not have a material impact on the
Company's financial statements or its results of operations.

Note C - Tax Rate Change

During the quarter ended September 30, 1993, the maximum corporate federal
income tax rate was increased from 34% to 35%.  The increase was retroactive to
January 1, 1993, resulting in a charge to income taxes of $3,052,000 in the
quarter ended September 30, 1993 or $.02 per common share.  An additional
charge to income taxes of $950,000, or $.01 per common share, was recorded in
the quarter ended September 30, 1993 to reflect the impact of the rate increase
on deferred taxes in accordance with FAS Statement 109, described above in Note
(B).

Item 2.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

The Company reported record sales and earnings in the third quarter and for the
first nine months of 1994.  Sales for the quarter were $1.3  billion, up 11%
over the same period in 1993.  Net income in the quarter increased 16% to $72.9
million.  On a per-share basis, net income for the quarter was $.59 versus $.51
in the same quarter of the prior year.

                                                                       FORM 10-Q

For the nine months ended September 30, 1994, sales totaled $3.65 billion, up
11% over the same period in 1993, while net income was $206.8 million, an
increase of 12%.  Earnings per share were $1.66 for the first nine months of
1994 and $1.48 for the same period in 1993.

Sales for the Automotive Parts Group advanced 9% for the quarter and for the
first nine months reflecting the strength of the NAPA programs in the
marketplace.  Sales for the Industrial Parts Group increased 16% for the
quarter and 13% for the nine months ended September 30, 1994, as industrial
production continues to increase.  Our Office Products Group was up 12% for the
quarter and 15% for the nine month period, reflecting increased market share,
geographic expansion and an outstanding level of service.  We continue to
believe that our sales growth in all three segments outperforms market growth.
Cost of goods sold decreased slightly as a percentage of net sales over the
same quarter the prior year.  Selling, administrative and other expenses
increased 10% for the quarter; however, the percentage to net sales decreased
slightly due primarily to tight expense controls.

At their August 16, 1994 meeting, the Genuine Parts Company Board of Directors
approved a stock repurchase program which authorizes the Company to reacquire
up to 10 million shares of its common stock.  To date, approximately 1.4
million shares have been repurchased.

During the quarter ended September 30, 1993, the maximum corporate federal
income tax rate was increased from 34% to 35%.  The increase was retroactive to
January 1, 1993, resulting in a charge to income taxes of $3,052,000 in the
quarter ended September 30, 1993 or $.02 per common share.  An additional
charge to income taxes of $950,000, or $.01 per common share, was recorded in
the quarter ended September 30, 1993 to reflect the impact of the rate increase
on deferred taxes in accordance with FAS Statement 109.

The first quarter results for 1993 included the net effect of adoption of FAS
106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pension", of
a charge of $5,055,000 (net of income taxes of $3,095,000) and an increase in
net income of $4,000,000 for the adoption of FAS 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes".  The adoption of FAS 106 and 109 did not have a material impact on the
Company's financial statements or its results of operations.

The ratio of current assets to current liabilities remains very good at 4.0/1,
and the Company's cash position is strong.
