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 29, 2000, the consolidated
statements of earnings for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended
July 29, 2000 and July 31, 1999 and the consolidated statements of
cash flows for the twenty-six week periods ended July 29, 2000 and
July 31, 1999 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 29, 2000 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 29, 2000.  The results of operations
for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended July 29, 2000 are not
necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

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 the same at both
July 29, 2000 and January 29, 2000.

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 29, 2000 and January 29, 2000 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 29, 2000 and
July 31, 1999.

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 in the process of analyzing the impact of the
adoption of this statement on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 5.  Debt and Financing Arrangements

As of the balance sheet date, the Company was not in compliance with certain
financial convenants in its revolving credit agreement and operating leases
for certain properties.  The Company has obtained waivers for such
noncompliance and amended its credit facilities.  The waiver for the
revolving credit agreement extends through the third fiscal quarter.  The
waivers for the operating leases extend through October 10, 2000.  As of
August 10, 2000, the revolving credit agreement was amended to reduce the
Company's availability from $200,000,000 to $125,000,000; had this amendment to
the revolving line of credit been in place on the balance sheet date, the
availability would have been $98,000,000.  In addition, the amendments restrict
any cash payments for the Company's Liquid Yield Option Notes (LYONs) at any
time prior to September 20, 2001.

The Company has obtained firm commitments from lenders to enter into a new
revolving credit agreement and operating lease facility.  The new facilities
will provide up to $368,000,000 of available credit and will be secured by
certain assets of the Company.  The Company expects to close these facilities
in the third fiscal quarter.

In April 2000, the Company repurchased $30,200,000 face value of its LYONs at
a price of $520 per LYON. The book value of the LYONs were $19,226,000 and the
after-tax extraordinary gain was $2,040,000.

In June 2000, the Company repurchased $5,995,000 face value of the $49,000,000
medium-term note which was redeemable at the option of the holder on September
19, 2002.  The after-tax extraordinary gain was $967,000.

Adjustments for certain convertible securities were antidilutive during the
thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended July 29, 2000 and the twenty-six
week period ended July 31, 1999, 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 29, 2000 and July 31, 1999 were
as follows:

Thirteen Weeks Ended July 29, 2000 vs. Thirteen Weeks Ended July 31, 1999
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Total revenues for the second quarter fell 0.2% led by a 0.8% decrease in
merchandise sales offset, in part, by a 2.1% increase in service revenue.
Revenues fell despite an increase in total stores from 650 in 1999 to 655
in 2000.  This decrease was driven by a decrease in comparable store revenues
of 2.0% in 2000.  Comparable store merchandise sales decreased 2.6% while
comparable service revenue increased 0.4%.

Gross profit from merchandise sales decreased, as a percentage of merchandise
sales, due primarily to lower merchandise margins, an increase in store
occupancy costs, as a percentage of merchandise sales and an increase in
warehousing costs, as a percentage of merchandise sales.

Gross profit from service revenue decreased, as a percentage of service
revenue, due primarily to an increase in service center personnel costs and an
an increase in store occupancy costs, as a percentage of service revenue.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased, as a percentage of
total revenues, due primarily to increases in store payroll expenses and
general office expenses, as a percentage of total revenues.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - July 29, 2000
------------------------------------------------
The Company's cash requirements arise principally from the need to finance
the acquisition, construction and equipping of new stores, to renovate existing
stores, and to purchase inventory. During the first six months of 2000, the
Company invested $33,626,000 in property and equipment while net inventory (net
inventory includes the change in inventory less the change in accounts payable)
increased $56,852,000.  Working capital increased from $172,332,000 at
January 29, 2000 to $192,026,000 at July 29, 2000.  At July 29, 2000, the
Company had stockholders' equity of $662,889,000 and long-term debt of
$781,911,000.  The Company's long-term debt was 54% of its total capitalization
at July 29, 2000 and 54% at January 29, 2000.  As of July 29, 2000, the Company
had available lines of credit totaling $173,000,000.

As of the balance sheet date, the Company was not in compliance with certain
financial convenants in its revolving credit agreement and operating leases
for certain properties.  The Company has obtained waivers for such
noncompliance and amended its credit facilities.  The waiver for the
revolving credit agreement extends through the third fiscal quarter.  The
waivers for the operating leases extend through October 10, 2000.  As of
August 10, 2000, the revolving credit agreement was amended to reduce the
Company's availability from $200,000,000 to $125,000,000; had this amendment to
the revolving line of credit been in place on the balance sheet date, the
availability would have been $98,000,000.  In addition, the amendments restrict
any cash payments for the Company's Liquid Yield Option Notes (LYONs) at any
time prior to September 20, 2001.

The Company has obtained firm commitments from lenders to enter into a new
revolving credit agreement and operating lease facility.  The new facilities
will provide up to $368,000,000 of available credit and will be secured by
certain assets of the Company.  The Company expects to close these facilities
in the third fiscal quarter.

The Company plans to open 2 new stores during the balance of the current fiscal
year.  Management estimates that the cost of the expansion, coupled with
expenditures in renovating existing stores, and expenditures for warehouses and
offices will be approximately $26,374,000.  Funds required to finance the store
expansion including related inventory requirements, to finance the renovation
project of existing stores and to repay its debt maturities are expected to
come primarily from operating activities and the Company's lines of credit.

In April 2000, the Company repurchased $30,200,000 face value  of its LYONs at
a price of $520 per LYON. The book value of the LYONs were $19,226,000 and the
after-tax extraordinary gain was $2,040,000.

In June 2000, the Company repurchased $5,995,000 face value of the $49,000,000
medium-term note which was redeemable at the option of the holder on September
19, 2002.  The after-tax extraordinary gain was $967,000.



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

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (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.
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 in the
process of analyzing the impact of the adoption of this statement on its
consolidated financial statements.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
--------------------------

Certain statements made herein, including those discussing management's
expectations for future periods, are forward-looking and 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 retail and commercial 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 and product and
labor costs. 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 29, 2000, the Company had $42,000,000
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 29, 2000.
