PART I
ITEM 1 BUSINESS
GENERAL
The Pep Boys - Manny, Moe & Jack and Subsidiaries (the "Company") is a
leading automotive retail and service chain. The Company operates in one
industry, the automotive aftermarket. The Company is engaged principally
in the retail sale of automotive parts and accessories, automotive maintenance
and service and the installation of parts. The Company's primary operating
unit is its SUPERCENTER format. As of January 30, 1999, the Company operated
638 stores consisting of 625 SUPERCENTERS and one SERVICE & TIRE
CENTER, having an aggregate of 6,608 service bays, as well as 12
non-service/non-tire format PEP BOYS EXPRESS stores. The Company operates
approximately 13,072,000 gross square feet of retail space, including service
bays. The SUPERCENTERS average approximately 20,700 square feet and the 12 PEP
BOYS EXPRESS stores average approximately 9,600 square feet. The Company
believes that its unique SUPERCENTER format offers the broadest capabilities
in the industry and positions the Company to gain market share and increase
its profitability by serving the "do-it-yourself," automotive service, tire
and "buy-for-resale" customer sectors with the highest quality merchandise
and service.

NEW STORES AND EXPANSION STRATEGY
During fiscal 1998, the Company opened 35 SUPERCENTERS, all of which
include service bays, and 4 PEP BOYS EXPRESS stores. Further, the Company sold
and/or closed 115 of its non-service/non-tire PEP BOYS EXPRESS stores. In
October 1998, the Company consummated the sale of real estate assets relating
to 100 of these stores for net proceeds of $97,473,000. The Company also
closed one SUPERCENTER during fiscal 1998.
The Company's typical SUPERCENTER is a free standing, "one-stop"
shopping automotive warehouse that features state-of-the-art service bays. Each
SUPERCENTER carries an average of approximately 25,000 stock-keeping units and
serves the automotive aftermarket needs of the "do-it-yourself," the
"do-it-for-me" (automotive service), tire and "buy-for-resale" customer
sectors. The Company's primary SUPERCENTER prototype is approximately 18,200
square feet and generally features 12 service bays. The Company currently
intends to continue to utilize this prototype in fiscal 1999.
The Company completed the rollout of its commercial automotive parts
delivery program, "APD," during fiscal 1998. The APD program was established
to increase the Company's market share with the professional installer. The
APD program has strengthened the Company's position with the "buy-for-resale"
customer by taking greater advantage of the breadth and quality of its parts
inventory as well as its experience supplying its own service bays and
mechanics. As of January 30, 1999, 576 of the Company's stores provide
commercial parts delivery, which represents approximately 90% of its stores.
8
<PAGE>
In fiscal 1999, the Company plans to focus much of its energy on
improving the performance of its existing stores. As a result, the Company
plans to open approximately 25 new stores, all of which will be SUPERCENTERS.
If all 25 stores are opened, the Company anticipates spending approximately
$57,647,000 in addition to the $22,233,000 it has already spent as of January
30, 1999 in connection with certain of these locations. Additionally in fiscal
1999, the Company anticipates spending approximately $19,050,000 on certain
stores it expects to open in fiscal 2000. The Company expects to fund this
expansion from net cash generated by operating activities.
The most important factors considered by the Company when deciding to
open new stores are vehicle and population demographics, market penetration,
competitive positioning and site development costs. The most important factors
considered by the Company when deciding whether to close a store are
profitability and whether the store is outmoded by virtue of store size or
number of service bays, number of other stores within the same market area and
the cost/benefit of establishing a replacement store rather than expanding or
otherwise upgrading an older store.
The Company's ability to meet its expansion goals will depend, in
large measure, upon the availability of suitable sites, prevailing economic
conditions, its success in completing negotiations to purchase or lease
properties, and its ability to obtain governmental approvals and meet
construction deadlines.
MERCHANDISING
Each Pep Boys SUPERCENTER and PEP BOYS EXPRESS store carries the same
basic product line, with variations based on the number and type of cars
registered in the different markets. A full complement of inventory at a
typical SUPERCENTER includes an average of approximately 25,000 items
(approximately 24,000 items are in a PEP BOYS EXPRESS store). The Company's
automotive product line includes: tires (not stocked at PEP BOYS EXPRESS
locations); batteries; new and rebuilt parts for domestic and imported cars,
including suspension parts, ignition parts, mufflers, engines and engine parts,
oil and air filters, belts, hoses, air conditioning parts, and brake parts;
chemicals, including oil, antifreeze, polishes, additives, cleansers and
paints; mobile electronics, including sound systems, alarms, and remote vehicle
starters; car accessories, including seat covers, floor mats, and battery
cables; hand tools, including sockets, wrenches, ratchets, paint
and body tools, jacks and lift equipment, automotive specialty tools and test
gauges; as well as a selection of truck, van and sport utility vehicle
accessories.
In addition to offering a wide variety of high quality, branded
products, the Company sells an array of high quality products under the Pep
Boys and various other private label names. The Company sells cleaners and
chemicals under the Pep Boys name. The Company also sells oil, oil treatments,
hand cleaner, air filters, oil filters, transmission fluids and lubricants
under the name PROLINE (R) and paints and cleaners under the name VARSITY (R).
The Company sells starters and alternators under the name PROSTART (R),
water pumps under the name PROCOOL (R) and batteries under the names
PRO-START (R), MASTER START (tm), RIGHT START (tm) and CADET (tm). Brakes are
sold under the names SHUR GRIP (R), PROSTOP (R) and ELITE (tm) and tires under
the names CORNELL (R) and FUTURA (R).
9
<PAGE>
The Company also sells shock absorbers under the name PRO RYDER (R), and trunk
and hatchback lift supports under the name PROLIFT (R). All products sold by
the Company under the Pep Boys and various other private label names accounted
for approximately 31% of the Company's merchandise sales in fiscal 1998. The
remaining merchandise is sold under the brand names of others. Revenues from
maintaining or repairing automobiles and installing products, accounted for
approximately 17.0%, 16.3% and 15.0% of the Company's total revenues in
fiscal years 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Revenues from the sale of
tires accounted for approximately 14.2%, 13.2% and 11.8% of the Company's
total revenues in fiscal years 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. No other
class of products or services accounted for as much as 10% of the Company's
total revenues.
The Company has a point-of-sale system in all of its stores which
gathers sales and gross profit data by stock-keeping unit from each store on a
daily basis. This information is then used by the Company to help formulate its
pricing, marketing and merchandising strategies.
The Company has an electronic parts catalog in all of its stores and
an electronic commercial invoicing system in all of its stores that offer
commercial parts delivery.
The Company has an electronic work order system in all of its service
centers. This system creates a service history for each vehicle, provides
customers with a comprehensive sales document and enables the Company to
maintain a service customer database.
The Company uses an "Everyday Low Price" (EDLP) strategy in
establishing its selling prices. Management believes that EDLP provides better
value to its customers on a day-to-day basis, helps level customer demand and
allows more efficient management of inventories.
The Company uses various forms of advertising to promote its category-
dominant product offering, its state-of-the-art automotive service and repair
capabilities and its commitment to customer service and satisfaction. The
Company's advertising vehicles include, but are not limited to, multi-page
catalogs, television and radio commercials, newspaper advertisements and
various in-store promotions. All or most of the gross cost of the advertising
directed by the Company is customarily borne by the suppliers of the products
advertised.
In fiscal 1998, approximately 63% of the Company's total revenues were
cash transactions (including personal checks), and the remainder were credit
and debit card transactions and commercial credit accounts.
The Company does not experience significant seasonal fluctuation in
the generation of its revenues.
STORE OPERATIONS AND MANAGEMENT
All Pep Boys stores are open seven days a week. Each SUPERCENTER has a
manager, a service manager, a parts manager and two or more assistant managers.
Each PEP BOYS EXPRESS store has a manager, a parts manager and two or more
assistant managers. A store manager's average length of service with the
Company is approximately six years.
The Company has service bays in 626 of its 638 locations. Each service
department can perform a variety of services which generally include: engine
diagnosis and tune-ups, wheel and front end alignments, state inspection and
emission services, air conditioning service, heating and cooling system
service, fuel injection and throttle body service, and battery and electrical
10
<PAGE>
service; the repair and installation of parts and accessories including brake
parts, suspension parts, exhaust systems, front end parts, ignition parts,
belts, hoses, clutches, filters, stereos and speakers, alarms, sunroofs, cruise
controls, remote starters and various other merchandise sold in the Company's
stores; installation and balancing of tires; and oil and lubrication services.
The Company coordinates the operation and merchandising of each store
through a network of district and regional managers. The regional managers
report to one of three divisional Vice Presidents - Store Operations, who
report to the Vice President - Sales, who report to the Company's Senior Vice
President - Store Operations, who reports to the Company's Chairman of the
Board, President & Chief Executive Officer. Supervision and control over the
individual stores are facilitated by means of the Company's computer system,
operational handbooks and regular visits to the individual stores by the
district operations managers and loss prevention personnel.
All of the Company's advertising, accounting, purchasing and most of
its management information systems and administrative functions are conducted
at its corporate headquarters in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Certain of the
Company's management information system functions are conducted at a regional
office located near its corporate headquarters. Certain administrative
functions for the Company's western, southwestern, southeastern, midwestern and
Puerto Rico operations are performed at various regional offices of the
Company. See "Properties."
INVENTORY CONTROL AND DISTRIBUTION
Most of the Company's merchandise is distributed to its stores
from its warehouses primarily by dedicated and contract carriers and also by
Company-owned or leased trucks. Target levels of inventory for each product
have been established for each of the Company's warehouses and stores and are
based upon prior shipment history, sales trends and seasonal demand. Inventory
on hand is compared to the target levels on a weekly basis at each warehouse.
If the inventory on hand at a warehouse is below the target levels, the
Company's buyers order merchandise from its suppliers.
Each Pep Boys store has an automatic inventory replenishment system
that automatically orders additional inventory when a store's inventory on hand
falls below the target level. In addition, the Company's centralized buying
system, coupled with continued advancement in its warehouse and distribution
systems, has greatly enhanced the Company's ability to control its inventory.
SUPPLIERS
During fiscal 1998, the Company's ten largest suppliers accounted for
approximately 44% of the merchandise purchased by the Company. No single
supplier accounted for more than 12% of the Company's purchases. The Company
has no long-term contracts under which the Company is required to purchase
merchandise. Management believes that the relationships the Company has
established with its suppliers are generally good.
In the past, the Company has not experienced difficulty in obtaining
satisfactory sources of supply and believes that adequate alternative sources
of supply exist, at substantially similar cost, for virtually all types of
merchandise sold in its stores.
11
<PAGE>
COMPETITION
The business of the Company is generally highly competitive. The
Company encounters competition from nationwide and regional chains and from
local independent merchants. Some of the Company's competitors are general,
full range, discount or traditional department stores which carry automotive
parts and accessories and/or have automotive service centers, and others,
similar to the Company, are specialized automotive service retailers.
Certain of its competitors are larger in terms of sales volume, store size,
and/or number of stores, have access to greater capital and management
resources and have been operating longer in particular geographic areas
than the Company.
Although the Company's competition varies by geographic area, the
Company believes that it generally has a favorable competitive position in
terms of depth and breadth of product line, price, quality of personnel and
customer service.
In addition, the Company believes that its operation of service bays
in its SUPERCENTERS positively differentiates it from most of its competitors
by providing its customers with the ability to purchase parts and have them
installed at the same location. The Company believes that the warranty policies
in connection with the higher priced items it sells, such as tires, batteries,
brake linings and other major automotive parts and accessories, are comparable
or superior to those of its competitors.

The Company anticipates that its existing and planned warehouse space
will accommodate inventory necessary to support store expansion and any
increase in stock-keeping units through the end of fiscal 1999.
The Company is subject to federal, state and local provisions relating
to the protection of the environment, including provisions with respect to the
disposal of oil at its store locations. Estimated capital expenditures relating
to compliance with such environmental provisions are not deemed material.
ITEM 3 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is a defendant in a purported class action entitled "Brian
Lee, Anthony Baxton, and Harry Schlein v. The Pep Boys - Manny, Moe & Jack," in
the Circuit Court of Mobile County, Alabama. The Company has moved to dismiss
the case for failure to state a claim. The Company's motion to dismiss is
pending before the Circuit Court of Mobile County, Alabama. In their complaint,
the plaintiffs allege that the Company sold old or used automotive batteries to
consumers as if those batteries were new. The complaint purports to state
causes of action for fraud and deceit, negligent misrepresentation, breach of
contract and violation of state consumer protection statutes. The plaintiffs
are seeking compensatory and punitive damages, as well as injunctive and
equitable relief. The Company believes the claims are without merit and intends
to vigorously defend this action.
The Company is also party to various other lawsuits and claims,
including purported class actions, arising in the normal course of business.
In the opinion of management, these lawsuits and claims, including the case
above, are not singularly or in the aggregate, material to the Company's
financial position or results of operations.

discretion and will depend upon the earnings, financial condition and capital
needs of the Company and other factors which the Board of Directors deems
relevant.

<PAGE>
FISCAL 1998 VS. FISCAL 1997
Total revenues for fiscal 1998 increased 16.6% over fiscal 1997 due
primarily to a 9.0% increase in comparable store sales (revenues generated by
stores in operation during the same months of each period) as well as more
stores in operation during fiscal 1998 versus fiscal 1997. Comparative store
merchandise sales, which were positively impacted by the Company's commercial
delivery program, increased 8.6% while comparable service revenue
increased 11.5%.
Sales for fiscal 1998 were negatively impacted by the sale and closure
of 115 stores, 109 of which were closed on or about October 10, 1998.
On October 21, 1998, the Company consummated the sale of real estate assets
relating to 100 of these stores. As a result of these events, the Company
recorded pretax charges of $29,451,000 ($20,109,000 net of tax), $27,733,000 of
which was included in costs of merchandise sales. These costs include various
building, leasehold improvement, fixture and equipment write-offs, as well as
lease commitment charges and the costs associated with handling the related
merchandise inventories. The remaining $1,718,000 of related costs, which
consist primarily of store and general office payroll and travel expenses, have
been included in selling, general and administrative expenses.
The substantial decrease in gross profit from merchandise sales, as a
percentage of merchandise sales, was due primarily to significantly lower
merchandise margins as well as the pretax charges of $27,733,000 recorded in
fiscal 1998 versus the pretax charges of $16,330,000 recorded in fiscal 1997
offset, in part, by decreases in warehousing and store occupancy costs. The
fiscal 1997 pretax charges included the costs associated with closing nine
stores, converting all Parts USA stores to the Pep Boys Express format, certain
equipment write-offs and other non-recurring charges.
The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, as a
percentage of total revenues, was due primarily to a substantial increase in
store expenses and an increase in media costs offset, in part, by a decrease in
general office costs and the pretax charges of $1,718,000 recorded in
fiscal 1998 versus $11,682,000 recorded in fiscal 1997. The fiscal 1997
pretax charges included costs associated with reducing the store expansion
program, certain equipment write-offs and other non-recurring charges.
The significant decrease in net earnings in fiscal 1998, as compared
with fiscal 1997, was due primarily to a substantial decrease in gross profit
from merchandise sales, as a percentage of merchandise sales and an increase in
selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of total
revenues. Comparably, the after tax charges of $20,109,000 recorded in fiscal
1998, as a percentage of total revenues, were primarily offset by the after tax
charges of $18,418,000 recorded in fiscal 1997.
FISCAL 1997 vs. FISCAL 1996
Total revenues for fiscal 1997 increased 12.5% over fiscal 1996 due to
a higher store count (711 at January 31, 1998 compared with 604 at February 1,
1997) offset, in part, by a 0.4% decrease in comparable store revenues
(revenues generated by stores in operation during the same months of each
period). Comparable store merchandise sales decreased 2.3% while comparable
service revenue increased 10.3%.
During fiscal 1997 the Company recorded pretax charges of $28,012,000
($18,418,000 net of tax), $16,330,000 of which was recorded as costs of
merchandise sales and includes the costs associated with closing nine stores,
converting all Parts USA stores to the Pep Boys Express format, certain
equipment write-offs and other non-recurring expenses. The remaining
$11,682,000 of these expenses, which include costs associated with reducing
the store expansion program, certain equipment write-offs and other
non-recurring expenses, have been included in selling, general and
administrative expenses.

<PAGE>
The substantial decrease in gross profit from merchandise sales, as a
percentage of merchandise sales, was due primarily to significantly lower
merchandise margins, significantly higher store occupancy costs and the
$16,330,000 pretax charge.
The dramatic increase in selling, general and administrative expenses,
as a percentage of total revenues, was due primarily to a substantial increase
in store expenses, an increase in general office costs and the $11,682,000
pretax charge.
Interest expense increased, as a percentage of total revenues, due
primarily to higher debt levels necessary to fund the Company's store expansion
program and related working capital requirements offset, in part, by slightly
lower interest rates.
Net earnings in fiscal 1997, which were negatively impacted by the
after tax charges of $18,418,000, decreased substantially as compared with
fiscal 1996, as a percentage of total revenues, due primarily to a substantial
decrease in gross profit from merchandise sales, as a percentage of merchandise
sales, a dramatic increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, as
a percentage of total revenues, and an increase in interest expense, as a
percentage of total revenues.
EFFECTS OF INFLATION
The Company uses the LIFO method of inventory valuation. Thus, the
cost of merchandise sold approximates current cost. Although the Company cannot
accurately determine the precise effect of inflation on its operations, it does
not believe inflation has had a material effect on revenues or results of
operations during fiscal 1998, fiscal 1997 or fiscal 1996.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's cash requirements arise principally from the need to
finance the acquisition, construction and equipping of new stores and to
purchase inventory. The Company opened 39 stores in fiscal 1998, 110 stores
in fiscal 1997 and 100 stores in fiscal 1996. During fiscal 1998, the Company
consummated the sale of the real estate assets relating to 100 of its non-
service/non-tire format Pep Boys Express stores for net proceeds of
$97,473,000. A portion of the net proceeds were used to repay debt and the
remaining amount was invested in short-term money market accounts and
subsequently used to finance a portion of the Company's share repurchase on
February 1, 1999. In fiscal 1998, with significantly decreased levels of
capital expenditures, the cash generated from its sale of real estate assets,
partially offset by increased net inventory levels, the Company increased its
debt by $70,380,000 and increased its cash and cash equivalents by
$103,737,000. In fiscal 1997, with increased levels of capital expenditures
and net inventory, the Company increased its debt by $174,999,000. In fiscal
1996, with increased levels of capital expenditures, the Company increased
its debt by $43,550,000.

(1) Net inventory increase (decrease) is the change in inventory less the
change in accounts payable.
In fiscal 1998, merchandise inventories decreased, as the Company
reduced its warehouse inventories, better tailored its store inventories and
decreased its net store count by 73 stores. At the same time the approximate
average number of stock-keeping units per store decreased to 25,000 from 28,000
in fiscal 1997 and 27,000 in fiscal 1996. In fiscal 1997 and fiscal 1996,
merchandise inventories increased, as the Company added a net of 205 stores
during those two years.
The Company's working capital was $241,738,000 at January 30, 1999,
$151,340,000 at January 31, 1998 and $70,691,000 at February 1, 1997. The
Company's long-term debt, as a percentage of its total capitalization, was 46%
at January 30, 1999, 44% at January 31, 1998 and 37% at February 1, 1997.
As of April 1999, the Company has available lines of credit totaling
$280,000,000.
The Company currently plans to open approximately 25 new stores in
fiscal 1999. Management estimates that the cost to open all 25 stores, coupled
with capital expenditures relating to existing stores, warehouses and offices
during fiscal 1999, will be approximately $138,000,000. In fiscal 1999, the
Company has additional cash requirements to finance a share repurchase totaling
$180,427,000 and to repay its debt maturities totaling $72,464,000. The
Company's cash and cash equivalents on hand and existing credit facilities as
well as its new debt obtained in connection with the share repurchase are
sufficient to finance the share repurchase and debt maturities due in 1999. The
Company anticipates that its net cash provided by operating activities will
exceed its remaining principal cash requirements (capital expenditures and net
inventory) in fiscal 1999.
On February 1, 1999, the Company repurchased 11,276,698 of its common
shares outstanding. The Company financed the share repurchase with $110,427,000
in cash and with the $70,000,000 proceeds received in connection with the
private placement of Senior Notes issued on February 1, 1999. The Senior Notes
were issued in two series at par and pay interest semiannually on January 31
and July 31, commencing July 31, 1999. Series A Senior Notes, with an aggregate
principal balance of $25,000,000, will mature in 2009 and bear interest at
7.80% per annum. Series B Senior Notes, with an aggregate principal balance of
$45,000,000, will mature in 2011 and bear interest at 7.95% per annum. In
addition, the interest rates on the Senior Notes are subject to a .50% increase
for such time as the credit rating of the Company's long-term unsecured debt
securities decreases below investment grade as rated by both Moody's and
Standard & Poor's.
22
<PAGE>
In February 1998, the Company established a Medium-Term Note program
which permitted the Company to issue up to $200,000,000 of Medium-Term Notes.
Under this program the Company sold $100,000,000 principal amount of senior
notes, ranging in annual interest rates from 6.7% to 6.9% and due March 2004
and March 2006. The net proceeds of $99,429,000 were used for working capital,
the repayment of debt and for general corporate purposes. Additionally, in July
1998, under this note program, the Company sold $100,000,000 of Term Enhanced
ReMarketable Securities with a stated maturity date of July 2017. The Company
also sold a call option with the securities, which allows the securities to be
remarketed to the public in July 2006 under certain circumstances. If the
securities are not remarketed, the Company will be obligated to repay the
principal amount in full in July 2017. The level yield to maturity on the
securities is approximately 6.85% and the coupon rate is 6.92%. The net
proceeds of $101,923,500 from the sale of the securities and the call option
were used for working capital, the repayment of debt and for general corporate
purposes.
In July 1997, the Company established a Medium-Term Note program which
permitted the Company to issue up to $150,000,000 of Medium-Term Notes. Under
this program the Company has sold $150,000,000 principal amount of senior
notes, ranging in annual interest rates from 6.4% to 6.7% and due November 2004
through September 2007. The net proceeds of $149,225,000 were used for working
capital, the repayment of debt and for general corporate purposes.
In September 1996, the Company received net proceeds of $146,250,000
from the sale of zero coupon subordinated Liquid Yield Option Notes due 2011
which have an aggregate principal amount at maturity of $271,704,000. The notes
were issued at a discount representing a yield to maturity of 4%. Proceeds from
the notes were used to repay the Company's short-term variable-rate bank debt,
portions of the Company's long-term variable rate bank debt and for general
corporate purposes.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities." This statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for
derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in
other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives), and for hedging
activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either
assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those
instruments at fair value. This statement is effective for all fiscal quarters
of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999, although early adoption is
encouraged. The Company is still in the process of analyzing the impact of the
adoption of this statement on its consolidated financial position and results
of operations.
In March 1998, the AICPA issued Statement of Position ("SOP") 98-1,
"Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed for or Obtained for
Internal Use." The SOP requires the capitalization of certain costs incurred
after the date of adoption in connection with developing or obtaining software
for internal use. The Company adopted SOP 98-1 effective February 1, 1998. As
a result of adoption of this statement, the Company capitalized costs amounting
to $2,851,000 in fiscal 1998.

INFORMATION SYSTEMS AND THE YEAR 2000
During 1997, the Company initiated a project to assess the impact of
Year 2000 issues on a corporate-wide basis. A Year 2000 Project Director,
reporting directly to the Chief Information Officer, was assigned to lead the
project and, in conjunction with senior management of the Company, has
formulated a project plan to address Year 2000 compliance issues. The Project
Director monitors and coordinates the project plan through regular meetings
with operational managers who execute the specifics of the project plan. The
Project Director regularly updates senior management, including the Company's
Chief Financial Officer. In addition, the Board of Directors is periodically
updated by the Company's senior management.
The project plan is comprehensive and focuses on both information
technology (IT) systems and non-IT systems. Execution of the project plan has
been divided into five key phases: inventory, assessment, remediation, testing,
and implementation. The Company is utilizing both internal and external
resources to complete its Year 2000 project plan initiatives.
IT systems include the Company's application software, both proprietary
and third party, as well as the hardware infrastructure. Specifically, this
includes all software and related hardware for the Company's systems, namely:
mainframe, store, personal computer, local area network, and data
communication. The inventory and assessment phases for the IT systems are
substantially complete. Although the IT systems are currently in various stages
of remediation, testing and implementation, the Company estimates that
approximately 60% of its IT systems are currently Year 2000 compliant. The
Company currently expects to substantially complete these processes with
respect to its IT systems by mid-1999.
The non-IT systems include equipment and systems that contain embedded
computer chips, such as energy management, HVAC, telephone and the Company's
service center equipment, which specifically includes its engine diagnostic,
wheel alignment and emission testing equipment. The inventory and assessment
phases for the non-IT systems are substantially complete. The Company currently
expects to have substantially all of its non-IT systems Year 2000 compliant by
October 1999.
The Company's critical third party vendor relationships (other than
those relating to IT and non-IT systems), such as relationships with critical
merchandise, transportation, utility, financial institutions and other general
service providers, are currently being reviewed for Year 2000 compliance. The
Company will use the information obtained in its review of third party vendor
relationships in its contingency plan development.
The Company is in the process of developing contingency plans. These
plans will identify what actions would need to be taken if a critical system or
third party service provider were not Year 2000 compliant. The Company expects
such plans to be completed by October 1999.
Although the Company is making significant progress to ensure that its
systems and facilities are Year 2000 compliant, the ability of third party
service providers, merchandise vendors and certain other third parties,
including communications and utility companies, to be Year 2000 compliant is
beyond the Company's control. Therefore, the Company can offer no assurances
that the systems of other entities on which the Company's systems may rely will
be modified to be Year 2000 compliant or, if so modified, will be compatible
with the Company's systems. The failure of these entities to achieve Year 2000
compliance on a timely basis could have a material adverse effect on the
Company. At this time, the Company does not expect any Year 2000 issues to
materially affect its operations, merchandise sales, service revenues,
competitive position or financial performance.
The Company estimates that total costs associated with the Year 2000
effort will range from approximately $9,000,000 to $13,000,000, of which
approximately $4,300,000 has been incurred through January 30, 1999. The
Company's Year 2000 costs have been and are expected to be funded out of cash
flows from operating activities.
The foregoing statements as to costs and dates relating to the Year
2000 effort are forward-looking and as a result involve risks and
uncertainties. They are based on the Company's best estimates which may be
updated as additional information becomes available. The Company's
forward-looking statements are also based on assumptions about many important
factors, including the technical skills of employees and independent
contractors, the representations and preparedness of third parties, the failure
of vendors to deliver merchandise or perform services required by the Company
and the collateral effects of Year 2000 issues on the Company's business
partners and customers. While the Company believes its assumptions are
reasonable, it cautions that it is impossible to predict the impact of certain
factors that could cause actual costs or timetables to differ materially from
the expected results.

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 certain revolving credit agreements, changes in the federal funds rate, the
lenders' prime rate or LIBOR could affect the rates at which the Company could
borrow funds thereunder. At January 30, 1999, the Company had no outstanding
borrowings against these credit facilities. The table below summarizes the fair
value and contract terms of fixed rate debt instruments held by the Company at
January 30, 1999:

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements made herein are forward-looking which involve risks
and uncertainties. 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 and consumers' ability to spend, the health of the various sectors of
the market that the Company serves, the weather in geographical regions with a
high concentration of the Company's stores, competitive pricing, location and
number of competitors' stores, product costs, and the ability to grow and
improve the commercial delivery program. Further factors that might cause such
a difference include, but are not limited to, the factors described in the
Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

THE PEP BOYS - MANNY, MOE & JACK AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Years ended January 30, 1999, January 31, 1998 and February 1, 1997 (dollar
amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BUSINESS The Pep Boys - Manny, Moe & Jack and subsidiaries (the "Company") is
engaged principally in the retail sale of automotive parts and accessories,
automotive maintenance and service and the installation of parts through a
chain of 638 stores at January 30, 1999. The Company currently operates stores
in 37 states and Puerto Rico.
FISCAL YEAR END The Company's fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest to
January 31. Fiscal years 1998, 1997 and 1996 were comprised of 52 weeks.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated.
USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of the Company's consolidated financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
necessarily requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
MERCHANDISE INVENTORIES Merchandise inventories are valued at the lower of cost
(last-in, first-out method) or market. If the first-in, first-out method of
valuing inventories had been used, inventories would have been approximately
$0 and $870 higher at January 30, 1999 and January 31, 1998, respectively.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash equivalents include all short-term, highly
liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and so
near maturity that they present an insignificant risk to changes in value
because of changes in interest rates.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment are recorded at cost.
Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over
the following estimated useful lives: building and improvements, 5 to 40 years;
furniture, fixtures and equipment, 3 to 10 years.
CAPITALIZED INTEREST Interest on borrowed funds is capitalized in connection
with the construction of certain long-term assets. Capitalized interest
amounted to $1,020, $1,861 and $1,575 in fiscal years 1998, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.
SERVICE REVENUE Service revenue consists of the labor charge for installing
merchandise or maintaining or repairing vehicles, excluding the sale of any
installed parts or materials.
COSTS OF REVENUES 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.
PENSION EXPENSE The Company reports all information on its pension and savings
plan benefits in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 132, "Employers' Disclosure about Pensions and Other Postretirement
Benefits." All periods reported have been stated in accordance with
SFAS No. 132.
INCOME TAXES The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income
taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Under the
liability method, deferred income taxes are determined based upon enacted tax
laws and rates applied to the differences between the financial statement and
tax bases of assets and liabilities.
ADVERTISING The Company expenses the production costs of advertising the first
time the advertising takes place. The Company nets cooperative advertising
reimbursements against costs incurred. Net advertising expense for fiscal years
1998, 1997 and 1996 was $6,378, $0 and $324, respectively. No advertising costs
were recorded as an asset as of January 30, 1999.
STORE OPENING COSTS The costs of opening new stores are expensed as incurred.
31
<PAGE>
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS The Company accounts for impaired long-lived
assets in accordance with SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of." This standard
prescribes the method for asset impairment evaluation for long-lived assets and
certain identifiable intangibles that are either held and used or to be
disposed of. The Company reviews the carrying values of its long-lived and
identifiable intangible assets for possible impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be
recoverable.
EARNINGS PER SHARE Earnings per share for all periods have been computed in
accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." Basic earnings per share is
computed by dividing earnings by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing
earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the
year plus the assumed conversion of dilutive convertible debt and incremental
shares that would have been outstanding upon the assumed exercise of dilutive
stock options.
ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company adopted the disclosure-only
provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." As
permitted by SFAS No. 123, the Company is accounting for employee stock-based
compensation plans in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (APB) opinion
No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and has provided
disclosures required by SFAS No. 123.
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME Comprehensive income is reported in accordance with SFAS
No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." Other comprehensive income includes
minimum pension liability adjustments.
ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES In June 1998, the
FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities." This statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for
derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in
other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives), and for hedging
activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either
assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those
instruments at fair value. This statement is effective for all fiscal quarters
of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999, although early adoption is
encouraged. The Company is still in the process of analyzing the impact of the
adoption of this statement on its consolidated financial position and results
of operations.
ACCOUNTING FOR THE COSTS OF COMPUTER SOFTWARE DEVELOPED FOR OR OBTAINED FOR
INTERNAL USE In March 1998, the AICPA issued Statement of Position
("SOP") 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed for or
Obtained for Internal Use." The SOP requires the capitalization of certain
costs incurred after the date of adoption in connection with developing or
obtaining software for internal use. The Company adopted SOP 98-1 effective
February 1, 1998. As a result of adoption of this statement, the Company
capitalized costs amounting to $2,851 in fiscal 1998.
SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company reports segment information in accordance with
SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information." The Company operates in one industry, the automotive aftermarket.
In accordance with SFAS No. 131, the Company aggregates all of its stores and
reports one operating segment. Sales by major product categories are as
follows:

</TABLE>
The Company has a revolving credit agreement with seven major banks
providing for borrowings of up to $200,000. Funds may be drawn and repaid
anytime prior to March 30, 2002. Sixty days prior to each anniversary date, the
Company may request, and upon agreement of each bank, extend the maturity of
this facility an additional year. If one of the banks fails to agree to this
extension, the Company has the right to replace that bank. At the Company's
option, the interest rate on any loan may be based on (i) the higher of the
federal funds rate plus 1/4% or the prime rate, (ii) LIBOR plus up to 1.1% or
(iii) a negotiated rate based upon market conditions. The weighted average
interest rate on borrowings under the revolving credit agreement was 5.9% at
January 31, 1998.
The weighted average interest rate on the mortgage notes payable was
6.4% at January 30, 1999 and 6.9% at January 31, 1998. These notes, which
mature at various times through August 2016, are collateralized by land and
buildings with an aggregate carrying value of approximately $7,537 at
January 30, 1999.
In February 1998, the Company established a Medium-Term Note program
which permitted the Company to issue up to $200,000 of Medium-Term Notes. Under
this program the Company sold $100,000 principal amount of senior notes,
ranging in annual interest rates from 6.7% to 6.9% and due March 2004 and March
2006. The net proceeds of $99,429 were used for working capital, the repayment
of debt and for general corporate purposes. Additionally, in July 1998, under
this note program, the Company sold $100,000 of Term Enhanced ReMarketable
Securities with a stated maturity date of July 2017. The Company also sold a
call option with the securities, which allows the securities to be remarketed
to the public in July 2006 under certain circumstances. If the securities are
not remarketed, the Company will be obligated to repay the principal amount in
full in July 2017. The level yield to maturity on the securities is
approximately 6.85% and the coupon rate is 6.92%. The net proceeds of
$101,924 from the sale of the securities and the call option were used for
working capital, the repayment of debt and for general corporate purposes.

On August 24, 1994 the Company sold $86,250 of 4% convertible
subordinated notes. These notes are convertible by the holders into the common
stock of the Company at any time on or before September 1, 1999 (the maturity
date) at a conversion price of $41 per share subject to adjustment in certain
events. The notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option of the
Company at any time on or after September 15, 1997, at a redemption price of
101% of the principal amount and at par on or after September 1, 1998. The
notes are subordinated to all existing and future senior indebtedness of the
Company. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company redeemed $13,956
of the convertible subordinated notes.
On September 20, 1996, the Company issued $271,704 principal amount
(at maturity) of Liquid Yield Option Notes (LYONs) with a price to the public
of $150,000. The net proceeds to the Company were $146,250. The issue price of
each such LYON was $552.07 and there will be no periodic payments of interest.
The LYONs will mature on September 20, 2011, at $1,000 per LYON, representing a
yield to maturity of 4.0% per annum (computed on a semiannual bond equivalent
basis).
Each LYON is convertible at the option of the holder at any time on or
prior to maturity, unless previously redeemed or otherwise purchased, into
common stock of the Company at a conversion rate of 12.929 shares per LYON. The
LYONs are redeemable at the option of the holder on September 20, 2001 and
September 20, 2006 at the issue price plus accrued original issue discount. The
Company, at its option, may elect to pay the purchase price on any such
purchase date in cash or common stock, or any combination thereof. No LYONs
were converted in 1998 and 1997. In addition, on or prior to September 20,
2001, the Company will purchase for cash any LYON, at the option of the holder,
in the event of change in control of the Company. The LYONs are subordinated to
all existing and future senior indebtedness of the Company.
Several of the Company's debt agreements require the maintenance of
certain financial ratios and covenants. Approximately $33,403 of the Company's
net worth was not restricted by these covenants at fiscal year end. The Company
is in compliance with all debt covenants at January 30, 1999.
The annual maturities of all long-term debt and convertible debt for
the next five years are $72,464 in 1999, $183 in 2000, $197 in 2001, $111 in
2002 and $75,014 in 2003. Any compensating balance requirements related to all
revolving credit agreements and debt were satisfied by balances available from
normal business operations.
The Company was contingently liable for outstanding letters of credit
in the amount of approximately $15,832 at January 30, 1999.

respectively.
NOTE 4 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
RIGHTS AGREEMENT On December 31, 1997, the Company distributed as a dividend
one common share purchase right on each of its common shares. The rights will
not be exercisable or transferable apart from the Company's common stock until
a person or group, as defined in the rights agreement (dated December 5,1997),
without the proper consent of the Company's Board of Directors, acquires 15%
or more, or makes an offer to acquire 15% or more of the Company's outstanding
stock. When exercisable, the rights entitle the holder to purchase one share
of the Company's common stock for $125. Under certain circumstances, including
the acquisition of 15% of the Company's stock by a person or group, the rights
entitle the holder to purchase common stock of the Company or common stock of
an acquiring company having a market value of twice the exercise price of the
right. The rights do not have voting power and are subject to redemption by the
Company's Board of Directors for $.01 per right anytime before a 15% position
has been acquired and for 10 days thereafter, at which time the rights become
nonredeemable. The rights expire on December 31, 2007.
BENEFITS TRUST On April 29, 1994, the Company established a flexible employee
benefits trust with the intention of purchasing up to $75,000 worth of the
Company's common shares. The repurchased shares will be held in the trust and
will be used to fund the Company's existing benefit plan obligations including
healthcare programs, savings and retirement plans and other benefit
obligations. The trust will allocate or sell the repurchased shares over the
next 15 years to fund these benefit programs. As shares are released from the
trust, the Company will charge or credit additional paid-in capital for the
difference between the fair value of shares released and the original cost
of the shares to the trust. For financial reporting purposes, the trust is
consolidated with the accounts of the Company. All dividend and interest
transactions between the trust and the Company are eliminated. As of January
30, 1999, the Company has repurchased 2,232,500 shares of its common stock
at a cost of $60,269 which is shown as "Cost of shares in benefits trust"
on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.
NOTE 5 - SIGNIFICANT CHARGES
During fiscal 1998, the Company recorded pretax charges of $29,451
($20,109 net of tax), $27,733 of which was recorded as Costs of Merchandise
Sales on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Earnings and includes the
costs associated with closure and sale of 109 Pep Boys Express stores.
The remaining $1,718 of these expenses have been included in Selling,
General and Administrative Expenses on the Company's Consolidated
Statements of Earnings.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997, the Company recorded pretax
charges of $28,012 ($18,418 net of tax), $16,330 of which was recorded as Costs
of Merchandise Sales on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Earnings and

equipment write-offs and other non-recurring expenses, have been included in
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses on the Company's Consolidated
Statements of Earnings.

NOTE 6 - PENSION AND SAVINGS PLANS
The Company has a pension plan covering substantially all of its
full-time employees hired on or before February 1, 1992. Normal retirement age
is 65. Pension benefits are based on salary and years of service. The Company's
policy is to fund amounts as are necessary on an actuarial basis to provide
assets sufficient to meet the benefits to be paid to plan members in accordance
with the requirements of ERISA.
The actuarial computations are made using the "projected unit credit
method." Variances between actual experience and assumptions for costs and
returns on assets are amortized over the remaining service lives of employees
under the plan.
As of December 31, 1996, the Company froze the accrued benefits under
the plan and active participants became fully vested. The plan's trustee will
continue to maintain and invest plan assets and will administer benefit
payments. In accordance with SFAS No. 88, "Employers' Accounting for
Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for
Termination Benefits," a curtailment gain of $1,554 was recognized in 1996.
Pension (income) expense includes the following:

NOTE 8 - NET EARNINGS PER SHARE
For fiscal years 1998, 1997 and 1996, basic earnings per share are
based on net earnings divided by the weighted average number of shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share assumes conversion of
convertible subordinated notes, zero coupon convertible subordinated notes and
the dilutive effects of stock options. Adjustments for convertible securities
were antidilutive in 1998 and 1997, and therefore excluded from the computation
of diluted EPS, however, these securities could potentially be dilutive in the
future. Options to purchase 3,572,946 and 2,281,572 shares of common stock were
outstanding at January 30, 1999 and January 31, 1998, 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.

NOTE 9 - STOCK OPTION PLANS
Options to purchase the Company's common stock have been granted to
key employees and members of the Board of Directors. The option prices are
at least 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the grant date.
Under the terms of the Company's Incentive Stock Option Plan adopted
in 1982, options to purchase up to 3,600,000 shares of the Company's common
stock were authorized. Options granted prior to 1988 are exercisable from the
date of grant. Options granted in 1988 and thereafter are exercisable on the
second anniversary of the grant date. All options under this plan cannot be
exercised more than ten years from the grant date. No additional options will
be granted under this plan.
Under the terms of the Company's Nonqualified Stock Option Plans,
adopted in 1984 and 1985, options to purchase up to 3,300,000 shares of the
Company's common stock were authorized. The options became exercisable over a
five-year period with one-fifth exercisable on the grant date and one-fifth on
each anniversary date for the four years following the grant date. Options
granted cannot be exercised more than ten and one-half years after the grant
date. No additional options will be granted under these plans.
On May 21, 1990, the stockholders approved the 1990 Stock Incentive
Plan which authorized the issuance of restricted stock and/or options to
purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock. Additional
shares in the amounts of 2,000,000, 1,500,000 and 1,500,000 were authorized
by stockholders on June 4, 1997, May 31, 1995 and June 1, 1993, respectively.
Under this plan, both incentive and nonqualified stock options may be granted
to eligible participants. Incentive stock options are exercisable on the second
or third anniversary of the grant date and nonqualified options become
exercisable over a five-year period with one-fifth exercisable on the grant
date and one-fifth on each anniversary date for the four years following the
grant date. Options cannot be exercised more than ten years after the grant
date. As of January 30, 1999, 647,743 shares remain available for grant.
Stock option transactions for the Company's stock option plans are
summarized as follows:

The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," in accounting for its stock option
plans. Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized for its stock
option plans. Had compensation cost for the Company's stock option plans for
options granted in fiscal 1995 and thereafter been determined based on the fair
value at the grant dates and recognized as compensation expense on a
straight-line basis over the vesting period of the grant consistent with the
method of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," the
Company's net earnings and net earnings per share would have been reduced to
the pro forma amounts indicated below:

The pro forma effect on net earnings for fiscal 1998 and fiscal 1997
are not representative of the pro forma effect on net earnings in future years
because it does not take into consideration pro forma compensation expense
related to grants made prior to 1995.
The fair value of each option granted during fiscal 1998 and fiscal
1997 is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing

NOTE 10 - CONTINGENCIES
The Company is a defendant in a purported class action entitled
"Brian Lee, Anthony Baxton, and Harry Schlein v. The Pep Boys - Manny, Moe &
Jack," in the Circuit Court of Mobile County, Alabama. The Company has moved to
dismiss the case for failure to state a claim. The Company's motion to dismiss
is pending before the Circuit Court of Mobile County, Alabama. In their
complaint, the plaintiffs allege that the Company sold old or used automotive
batteries to consumers as if those batteries were new. The complaint purports
to state causes of action for fraud and deceit, negligent misrepresentation,
breach of contract and violation of state consumer protection statutes. The
plaintiffs are seeking compensatory and punitive damages, as well as injunctive
and equitable relief. The Company believes the claims are without merit and
intends to vigorously defend this action.
The Company is also party to various other lawsuits and claims,
including purported class actions, arising in the normal course of business.
In the opinion of management, these lawsuits and claims, including the case
above, are not singularly or in the aggregate, material to the Company's
financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 12 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT - DUTCH AUCTION SELF-TENDER STOCK REPURCHASE
In December 1998, the Board of Directors authorized the purchase by
the Company of up to 10,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock, plus an
additional amount of shares not to exceed 2% of the Company's outstanding
shares, together with associated common stock purchase rights issued pursuant
to the Rights Agreement, dated as of December 5, 1997. The shares were
repurchased pursuant to a Dutch Auction self-tender offer which commenced on
December 23, 1998 and expired on January 25, 1999. The tender offer price range
was from $13.50 to $16.00 net per share in cash. As a result of the self-tender
offer, on February 1, 1999, the Company repurchased 11,276,698 common shares at
a price of $16.00 per share. The repurchased shares included 1,276,698 common
shares which were repurchased as a result of the Company exercising its option
to purchase an additional 2% of its outstanding shares. Prior to the repurchase
of the common shares, the Company had 63,847,640 shares outstanding, with
2,232,500 shares in a benefits trust, at January 30, 1999. As a result of the
tender offer share repurchase, the Company had 11,276,698 shares in treasury
and 2,195,270 shares in the benefits trust at February 1, 1999.
The Company financed the tender offer share repurchase with $110,427 in
cash and with the $70,000 proceeds received in connection with the private
placement of Senior Notes on February 1, 1999. The Senior Notes were issued in
two series at par and pay interest semiannually on January 31, and July 31,
commencing July 31, 1999. Series A Senior Notes, with an aggregate principal
balance of $25,000, will mature in 2009 and bear interest at 7.80% per annum.
Series B Senior Notes with an aggregate principal balance of $45,000 will
mature in 2011 and bear interest at 7.95% per annum. In addition, the interest
rates on the Senior Notes are subject to a .50% increase for such time as the
credit rating of the Company's long-term unsecured debt securities decreases
below investment grade as rated by both Moody's and Standard & Poor's.
Fees associated with the issuance of the debt are approximately $750
and have been capitalized and amortized over the life of the borrowing.
Expenses related to the share repurchase are approximately $3,129 and are
included as part of the cost of the shares acquired.
The pro forma effects of the tender offer share repurchase and the
related financing assuming such events had occurred on January 30, 1999 are
summarized in the unaudited pro forma information below:

liabilities related to certain costs not paid at the closing of the tender
offer repurchase; an increase in long-term debt related to additional
borrowings to finance the tender offer repurchase; and a decrease in
stockholders' equity primarily related to the shares acquired in the tender
offer repurchase.

Under the Company's present accounting system, actual gross profit from
merchandise sales can be determined only at the time of physical inventory,
which is taken at the end of the fiscal year. Gross profit from merchandise
sales for the first, second and third quarters is estimated by the Company
based upon recent historical gross profit experience and other appropriate
factors. Any variation between estimated and actual gross profit from

Exhibit 10.48
THE PEP BOYS - MANNY, MOE & JACK
ANNUAL INCENTIVE BONUS PLAN
(as amended and restated as of March 31, 1998)
The Pep Boys - Manny, Moe & Jack, a Pennsylvania
corporation (the "Company"), established, effective January 29,
1989, an Executive Incentive Bonus Plan for the benefit of
officers of the Company who were eligible to participate as
provided therein. On March 31, 1992, March 30, 1994, and March
31, 1995, the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board")
amended the plan in numerous respects. By action of the Board on
March 31, 1998, the plan was further amended to read in its
entirety as hereinafter set forth (the "Plan").
1. Purpose. The Plan is intended to increase the
profitability of the Company by giving employees of the Company
holding positions at the levels of officer or director (such
employees being hereinafter collectively referred to as the
"Eligible Employees") a financial stake in the growth and
profitability of the Company. The Plan has the further objective
of enhancing the Company's compensation packages for Eligible
Employees, thus enabling the Company to attract and retain
officers and other key employees of the highest ability. The
Plan is intended to provide Eligible Employees with incentive
opportunities that: (a) provide compensation opportunities which
are competitive with other companies of similar size and industry
focus; (b) focus Eligible Employees' attention on the
accomplishment of specific Company goals; and (c) recognize
different levels and types of individual contributions by
1
<PAGE>
providing a portion of the incentive payout for the achievement
of individual objectives. The Plan is intended to supplement,
not replace, any other bonus paid by the Company to any of its
Eligible Employees and is not intended to preclude the
continuation of such arrangements or the adoption of additional
bonus or incentive plans, programs or contracts.
2. Definitions.
(a) "Award Period" shall mean a measuring period
of one Fiscal Year.
(b) "Bonus" shall mean a cash payment made by the
Company to a Participant after an Award Period, based on
performance against specific predetermined performance objectives
for both the Company and the Participant, as calculated in
accordance with the provisions of this Plan document.
(c) "Bonus Level" shall mean the level at which a
Participant shall participate in the Plan as set forth in
Paragraph 4(b) hereof.
(d) "CEO" shall mean the person elected to the
office of Chief Executive Officer of the Company by the Board of
Directors.
(e) "COO" shall mean the person elected to the
office of Chief Operating Officer of the Company by the Board of
Directors.
(f) "Compensation Committee" shall mean the
Compensation Committee of the Board.
(g) "Fiscal Year" shall mean the Fiscal Year of
the Company which ends on the Saturday nearest January 31 in each
year.
2
<PAGE>
(h) "Participant" shall have the meaning set
forth in Paragraph 4 hereof.
(i) "Salary" shall mean the base salary of a
Participant for a Fiscal Year, including amounts which
Participant elects to forego to provide benefits under a plan
which satisfies the provisions of Section 401(k) or Section 125
of the Internal Revenue Code, exclusive of all bonuses paid or
accrued with respect to that Fiscal Year, whether or not pursuant
to a plan or program.
3. Administration, Amendment and Termination.
(a) The Plan shall be administered by the
Compensation Committee acting by a majority vote of its members.
The Compensation Committee shall have the power and authority to
take all actions and make all determinations which it deems
necessary or desirable to effectuate, administer or interpret the
Plan. The Company's adoption and continuation of the Plan is
voluntary. The Compensation Committee shall have the power and
authority to extend, amend, modify or terminate the Plan at any
time, including without limitation, to change Award Periods, to
determine the time or times of paying Bonuses, to establish and
approve Company and individual performance goals and the relative
weightings of the goals, and to establish such other measures as
may be necessary to meet the objectives of the Plan. In
particular, but without limitation of the foregoing, the
3
<PAGE>
Compensation Committee shall have the power and authority to make
any amendments or modifications to the Plan which may be
necessary for the Plan to comply with Section 162(m) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. An action to
terminate or to substantively amend or modify the Plan shall
become effective immediately upon its adoption or on such date as
specified by the Compensation Committee, but not with respect to
any Fiscal Year prior to the Fiscal Year in which the
Compensation Committee so acts.
(b) All actions taken and all determinations made
by the Compensation Committee in accordance with the power and
authority conferred upon the Compensation Committee under
Paragraph 3(a) above shall be final, binding and conclusive on
all parties, including the Company and all Participants.
4. Participants.
(a) Each Eligible Employee shall be entitled to
participate in the Plan for each Fiscal Year or portion thereof
in which such employee holds a position at the level of officer
or director of the Company (the "Participants", or individually,
"Participant"), unless excluded from participation by the
Compensation Committee or as provided by Paragraph 10 hereof.
With respect to an individual who becomes an Eligible Employee
during an Award Period, such individual shall become a
Participant, unless excluded from participation by the
Compensation Committee or as provided in Paragraph 10 hereof, and
shall be eligible to receive an amount equal to the amount which
4
<PAGE>
would have been paid if the Participant had been an Eligible
Employee for the entire Award Period, multiplied by a fraction,
the numerator of which is the number of days during the Award
Period that the Participant was an Eligible Employee of the
Company and the denominator of which is the number of days in the
Award Period.
(b) Each Participant shall participate in the
Plan and earn Bonuses at one of six Bonus Levels, as set forth
below:
Bonus Level Participant Group
Tier I CEO
Tier II COO
Tier III Executive Vice Presidents
and Senior Vice Presidents
Tier IV Vice Presidents
Tier V Assistant Vice Presidents
and Senior Directors
Tier VI Directors
5
<PAGE>
With respect to any Participant who was employed at more than one
of the Bonus Levels during an Award Period, the total Bonus
amount for such Award Period for which such Participant shall be
eligible shall be the sum of prorated Bonus payments
corresponding to the applicable Bonus Levels. Each such prorated
Bonus payment shall equal the amount which would have been paid
if the Participant had been an Eligible Employee at the
applicable Bonus Level for the entire Award Period, multiplied by
a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during
the Award Period that the Participant was employed at such Bonus
Level and the denominator of which is the number of days in the
Award Period.
5. Company Performance Measures. Under the
Plan, for each Award Period the Compensation Committee will
establish minimum, target and maximum performance goals for the
Company using one or more of the following business criteria (the
"Company Performance Measures"): (a) earnings growth; (b) net
sales; (c) cash flow; (d) return on capital; and (e) customer
satisfaction. In addition, the Compensation Committee will
establish relative weightings for the respective Company
Performance Measures being used.
6
<PAGE>
6. Individual Performance Measures. Under the Plan,
for each Award Period the Company will establish individual or
"small team" performance goals for each Participant (the
"Individual Performance Measures").
7. Establishment of Plan Components.
(a) During the first ninety (90) days of
each Award Period, the Compensation Committee, after consultation
with the CEO, will establish and approve the following components
of the Plan for the Award Period: (i) the Participants; (ii) the
minimum, target and maximum Company performance levels for each
Company Performance Measure being used; (iii) the relative
weightings of the respective Company Performance Measures being
used; (iv) the target, minimum and maximum Bonus amounts (each
expressed as a percentage of salary) at each Bonus Level; and (v)
the percentages of the Bonus amounts at each of the Bonus Levels
which are attributable to the Company's performance and the
individual Participant's performance, respectively, during the
Award Period.
7
<PAGE>
(b) Attached to this Plan document as Exhibit A
is a table listing the following components of the Plan for the
Company's current Fiscal Year, as determined by the Compensation
Committee: (i) the Bonus Levels; (ii) the Participants in each
Bonus Level (classified by title of position held); (iii) the
target Bonus amount for each Bonus Level (expressed as a
percentage of salary); and (iv) the percentages of the Bonus
amounts at each of the Bonus Levels which are attributable to the
Company's performance and the individual Participant's
performance, respectively, during the Fiscal Year.
(c) Attached to this Plan document as
Exhibit B is a table listing the following components of the Plan
for the Company's current Fiscal Year, as determined by the
Compensation Committee: (i) the Company Performance Measures
being used under the Plan for the Company's current Fiscal Year;
(ii) the relative weightings of each such Company Performance
Measure; and (iii) the minimum, target and maximum performance
levels for each such Company Performance Measure.
8
<PAGE>
(d) Attached to this Plan document as Exhibit C
is a graph illustrating how the actual performance level for each
Company Performance Measure corresponds to an "incentive factor"
for the Company's current fiscal year, as determined by the
Compensation Committee. The incentive factor shall be multiplied
by the weighting assigned to the particular measure (as set forth
on Exhibit B) in order to determine the actual resulting
incentive attributable to such measure. Each such actual
resulting incentive shall be expressed as a percentage of the
portion of a Participant's target Bonus amount attributable to
company performance.
(e) Attached to this Plan document as Exhibit D
is a hypothetical example demonstrating how a particular
Participant's total Bonus amount for the Award Period
corresponding to the Company's current Fiscal Year would be
determined and calculated under the Plan, based upon the
assumptions contained therein.
9
<PAGE>
(f) During the first ninety (90) days of each
Award Period, the Company will prepare, and the Compensation
Committee will review and approve, new versions of Exhibits A, B,
C and D to this Plan document, which versions will describe the
components of the Plan in effect during such Award Period and how
Bonus amounts for such Award Period will be determined and
calculated under the Plan.
8. Determination of Bonus. Within sixty (60) days
after the end of the Award Period, actual performance will be
compared to the predetermined performance levels for both Company
Performance Measures and Individual Performance Measures, and the
resulting actual Bonus amounts for Participants will be reviewed by
the CEO and submitted to the Compensation Committee for final
approval. Nothing in this Paragraph 8 shall be used to create any
presumption that Bonuses under the Plan are the exclusive means of
providing incentive compensation for Eligible Employees, it being
expressly understood and agreed that the Compensation Committee has
the authority to recommend to the Board of Directors payments to
any of the Eligible Employees, in cash or otherwise, based on
performance measures or otherwise, other than Bonuses under this
Plan to Participants.
10
<PAGE>
9. Payment of Awards. Bonuses shall be paid in cash
within ninety (90) days after the end of the Award Period.
10. Termination of Employment.
(a) If a Participant's employment with the Company
has terminated during an Award Period, for any reason whatsoever,
with or without cause, then the Participant may not receive a Bonus
for such Award Period, except as otherwise provided in Paragraph
10(b) below or in a separate written agreement between the Company
and the Participant.
(b) If during an Award Period, a Participant
dies; becomes disabled; or retires on or after his Early
Retirement Date (as defined in the Company's defined benefit
pension plan), such Participant (or the Participant's designated
beneficiary) shall be paid an amount equal to the amount which
would have been paid if the Participant had been employed by the
Company throughout the entire Award Period, multiplied by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the
Award Period that the Participant was employed by the Company and
the denominator of which is the number of days in the Award
Period.
11. Assignment and Alienation of Benefits.
(a) To the maximum extent permitted by law, a
Participant's right or benefits under this Plan shall not be
subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, assignment, pledge,
encumbrance or charge, and any attempt to anticipate, alienate,
sell, assign, pledge, encumber or charge the same shall be void.
No right or benefit hereunder shall in any manner be liable for or
subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities or torts of the person
entitled to such benefit.
11
<PAGE>
(b) If any Participant becomes bankrupt or attempts
to anticipate, alienate, sell, assign, pledge, encumber, or charge
any rights to a benefit hereunder, then such right or benefit, in
the discretion of the Compensation Committee, may be terminated.
In such event, the Company may hold or apply the same or any part
thereof for the benefit of the Participant, his or her spouse,
children or dependents, or any of them, in such manner and portion
as the Compensation Committee may deem proper.
12. Miscellaneous.
(a) The establishment of this Plan shall not be
construed as granting any Participant the right to remain in the
employ of the Company, nor shall this Plan be construed as limiting
the right of the Company to discharge a Participant from employment
at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause.
(b) The Company may withhold from any amounts
payable under the Plan such Federal, state or local taxes as may be
required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or
regulation.
(c) The paragraph headings in this Plan are for
convenience only; they form no part of the Plan and shall not
affect its interpretation.
(d) This Plan shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
