NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note A - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated 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 six months ended June 30, 1996, are
not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year.

Item 2.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations

Genuine Parts Company (the "Company") reported record sales and earnings in the
second quarter of 1996.  Sales for the quarter were $1.4 billion, up 10% over
the same period in 1995.  Net income in the quarter advanced 8% to $80.8
million.  On a per-share basis, net income in the quarter was $.67 versus $.61
in the same quarter of the prior year.

For the six months ended, June 30, 1996, sales totaled $2.8 billion, up 10%
over the first half of 1995, while net income was $155 million, an increase of
7.5%.  Earnings per share were $1.27 for the first six months of 1996 and $1.17
for the same period in 1995.

Sales for the Automotive Parts Group advanced 8% for the quarter and 7% for the
first six months, reflecting increased demand attributed to ongoing NAPA
marketing programs and favorable fundamentals such as vehicle age and usage
levels.  Sales for the Industrial Parts Group increased 13% for the quarter and
12% for the six months ended June 30, 1996, as industrial production continues
at a healthy level with high capacity utilization in  many industries.  The
Office Products Group was up 15% for the quarter and 14% for the six month
period, reflecting a response to innovative marketing programs, outstanding
service levels and geographic expansion.  Cost of goods sold increased slightly
as a percentage of net sales over the same quarter the prior year.  Selling,
administrative and other expenses increased 9% for the quarter and 8% for the
six months.  The percentage of selling, administrative and other expenses to
net sales decreased slightly, due mostly to improved expense control.

The ratio of current assets to current liabilities remains very good at 3.3 to
1 and the Company's cash position is good.
