THE PEP BOYS - MANNY, MOE & JACK AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1. Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The consolidated balance sheet as of July 31, 1999, the consolidated
statements of earnings for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended
July 31, 1999 and August 1, 1998 and the consolidated statements of
cash flows for the twenty-six week periods ended July 31, 1999 and
August 1, 1998 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, 1999 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
to shareholders for the year ended January 30, 1999.  The results of operations
for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended July 31, 1999 are not
necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year's condensed
consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year's
presentation.

NOTE 2. Merchandise Inventories

Merchandise inventories are valued at the lower of cost (last-in, first-out)
or market.  If the first-in, first-out method of valuing inventories had been
used by the Company, inventories would have been approximately $0 higher at
both July 31, 1999 and January 30, 1999.

NOTE 3. Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive Income is reported in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income."
Accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated balance sheets as
of July 31, 1999 and January 30, 1999 consists of a minimum pension liability
adjustment.  There were no differences between net earnings and comprehensive
income for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended July 31, 1999 and
August 1, 1998.

NOTE 4. Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (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. As amended by SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date
of FASB Statement No. 133," this statement is effective for all fiscal quarters
of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000, 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 statements.


NOTE 5. Dutch Auction Self-Tender Stock Repurchase

On February 1, 1999, the Company repurchased 11,276,698 of its common
shares outstanding pursuant to a Dutch Auction self-tender offer 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 52,570,942 shares outstanding, with
2,195,270 shares in the benefits trust, at February 1, 1999. Expenses related
to the share repurchase were approximately $1,638,000 and were included as
part of the cost of the shares acquired.  A portion of the treasury shares will
be used by the Company to provide benefits to employees under its compensation
plans and in conjunction with the Company's dividend reinvestment program.

                                     6
<PAGE>

The Company financed the tender offer share repurchase with $110,427,000 in
cash and with the $70,000,000 proceeds received in connection with a 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.
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.

Adjustments for certain convertible securities were antidilutive during the
twenty-six week period ended July 31, 1999 and the thirteen and twenty-six
week periods ended August 1, 1998, and therefore, excluded from the computation
of diluted EPS; however, these securities could potentially be dilutive in the
future.  Options to purchase shares of common stock which were not included in
the computation of diluted EPS because the options' exercise prices were
greater than the average market price of the shares of common stock during the
thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended July 31, 1999 and August 1, 1998
were as follows:

Thirteen Weeks Ended July 31, 1999 vs. Thirteen Weeks Ended August 1, 1998
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Total revenues for the second quarter remained stable despite a lower store
count (650 at July 31, 1999 compared with 723 at August 1, 1998).  Comparable
store revenues (revenues generated by stores in operation during the same
months of each period) increased 3.6% in 1999.  Comparable store
merchandise sales increased 3.1% while comparable service revenue increased
5.7%.

Gross profit from merchandise sales increased, as a percentage of merchandise
sales, due primarily to higher merchandise margins and a decrease in store
occupancy costs, as a percentage of merchandise sales.

Gross profit from service revenue remained constant, as a percentage of service
revenue, due primarily to a decrease in service center personnel costs offset
by an increase in employee benefit costs, as a percentage of service revenue.

Selling, general and administrative expenses remained constant, as a
percentage of total revenues, due primarily to increases in general office
costs and employee benefit costs offset by decreases in media costs and store
expenses, as a percentage of total revenues.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - July 31, 1999
- ------------------------------------------------

The Company's cash requirements arise principally from the need to finance
the acquisition, construction and equipping of new stores and to purchase
inventory. During the first twenty-six weeks of 1999, the Company invested
$52,053,000 in property and equipment while net inventory (net inventory
includes the decrease in inventory less the change in accounts payable)
decreased $30,869,000.  Working capital decreased from $241,738,000 at
January 30, 1999 to $158,473,000 at July 31, 1999.  At July 31, 1999, the
Company had stockholders' equity of $654,495,000 and long-term debt of
$770,918,000. The Company's long-term debt was 54% of its total capitalization
at July 31, 1999 and 46% at January 30, 1999.  As of July 31, 1999, the Company
had available lines of credit totaling $255,000,000.

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 a
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. 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.

The Company plans to open approximately 13 new stores during the balance of
the current fiscal year.  Management estimates that the cost of this
expansion, coupled with expenditures in existing stores, warehouses and
offices will be approximately $61,000,000.  In addition, the Company has cash
requirements for the balance of the current fiscal year to repay debt
maturities totaling $55,880,000, of which $55,794,000 relates to
Convertible Subordinated Notes due in September 1999.  During the second
quarter of 1999, the Company redeemed $16,500,000 of the Convertible
Subordinated Notes due in September of 1999, with cash provided by operating
activities. The store expansion including related inventory requirements, the
expenditures in existing stores, warehouses and offices, and the repayment of
debt maturities are expected to be financed primarily from funds from operating
activities.

Certain of the Company's debt agreements require the maintenance of financial
ratios and covenants which were amended during the second quarter of 1999.
The Company was in compliance with all financial ratios and covenants as of
July 31, 1999.


NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
- ------------------------

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. As amended
by SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133," this
statement is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after
June 15, 2000, 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 statements.

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, assessment, remediation, testing, and
implementation phases for the IT systems are substantially complete. The
Company estimates that approximately 95% of its IT systems are currently
Year 2000 compliant and expects to have substantially all of its IT systems
Year 2000 compliant by October 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 Company estimates that 80%
of its non-IT systems are Year 2000 compliant and 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.



                               13

<PAGE>

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 $10,000,000 to $12,000,000, of which
approximately $7,800,000 has been incurred through July 31, 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 ability
or 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.



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 enhance the
profitability of 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.

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 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 July 31, 1999, the Company had no outstanding
borrowings under these credit facilities. There have been no material changes
to the market risk disclosures as reported in the Company's Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended January 30, 1999.
