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 2000. Sales for the quarter were $2.1 billion, up 6% over the
same period in 1999. Net income in the quarter advanced 4% to $96.6 million. On
a per-share diluted basis, net income in the quarter was $.55 versus $.52 in the
same quarter of the prior year, an increase of 6%.

For the six months ended June 30, 2000, sales totaled $4.2 billion, up 7% over
the first half of 1999, while net income was $188.3 million, an increase of 5%.
Diluted earnings per share were $1.06 for the first six months of 2000 and $.99
for the same period in 1999, an increase of 7%.

Sales for the Automotive Parts Group increased 3% for the quarter. The sales
increase is reflective of the general softness in the automotive aftermarket.
Sales for the Industrial Parts Group increased 9% for the quarter reflecting
continued improvement in the overall industrial market and industrial
production. The Office Products Group was up 10% for the quarter reflecting unit
share gain, increased product offerings and enhanced marketing programs. The
Electrical/Electronic Materials Group increased sales by 7%, reflecting
increased market share and continued emphasis on sales growth. Cost of goods
sold increased slightly as a percentage of net sales compared to the same
quarter of the prior year. Selling, administrative and


                                       5
<PAGE>   6

other expenses increased 4% for the quarter and the percentage of selling,
administrative and other expenses to net sales decreased slightly, reflecting
improved operating efficiencies.

The ratio of current assets to current liabilities remains very good at 3.02 to
1 and the Company's cash position is good.
