NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The financial information included herein is unaudited.  In addition, the 
financial information does not include all disclosures required under 
generally accepted accounting principles because certain note information 
included in the Company's annual report has been omitted; however, such 
information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring 
adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair 
statement of the results for the interim period.

The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994 
are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.

Note 2 - Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share were computed by dividing net income (loss) by the 
weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock 
equivalents outstanding during the periods.

Notes 3 - Contingent Liabilities

In July 1991, a jury awarded  $955,000 plus interest to be determined to a 
former executive of the Company for an alleged beach of contract in 
connection with his discharge by the Company in 1986.  The Company has been 
advised by its counsel in this action that it has meritorious grounds for 
obtaining reversal of the jury verdict upon appeal.  The Company, accordingly, 
intends to take appropriate post-trial and appellate remedies and has posted 
an appeals bond.  Accordingly, the Company has not reflected this contingency 
in the financial statements.

PART II
Item 2.

Republic Automotive Parts, Inc.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONS:

Results of Operations

Net sales increased 7.7% during the first quarter of 1994.  The increase in 
sales is primarily attributable to acquisitions made in January and April 1994.
Sales for units owned continuously during 1995 and 1994 decreased 3.9% due
partially to mild weather this period compared to the same period last year
which was especially severe.  Cost of goods sold increased 3.8% in conjunction 
with the increase in net sales during the first three months of 1995. Selling, 
general and administrative expenses increased by 12.9%primarily due to 
increased expenditures associated with acquired operations.  Interest expense 
was up 176.3% from last year due to increased levels of borrowings and higher 
interest rates.

As a result of the above actions, income before income taxes increased by 
$80,000 over the same period last year. 

Financial Condition and Liquidity

The Company's ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 4.1 at the 
end of the first quarter of 1995 as compared with 3.8 at December 31, 1994.  
Working capital at March 31, 1995 was $47,247,000 compared with $44,638,000 
at December 31, 1994.

Cash from operations and other financial resources available to the Company 
are expected to be adequate to meet cash requirements for working capital and 
capital expenditures in the future.  At March 31, 1995, the company had 
available cash resources of $26,000,000 of which $19,900,000 was being 
utilized.  A three year revolving credit agreement for $20,000,000 is the 
foundation of these credit facilities.

The Company anticipates growth through possible acquisitions of new 
distribution and jobber locations.  Although no definitive agreements have 
been reached, it is expected that cash generated from operations, other 
changes in working capital and existing credit facilities will be sufficient 
to support cash outlays for anticipated acquisitions, if any.

               Each retiring Participant shall receive payments under this
          Plan in the same method of payment elected under the Qualified
          Plan (without regard to the rules requiring spousal consent). 
          Benefits payable from this Plan shall be actuarially adjusted
          using the same factors, methods, and assumptions as specified in
          the Qualified Plan to reflect the method of payment elected under
          the Qualified Plan.

                                      ARTICLE 7
                        FUNDING AND ESTABLISHMENT OF ACCOUNTS

          Section 7.1   Unfunded.  This Plan is designed to be an unfunded,
          non-qualified plan.  The Employer shall accrue the projected
          benefits payable under this Plan on its books identified as
          deferred compensation.  The Employer may use any reasonable
          accounting policy in determining the method of this accrual.

          Section 7.2   Limitation on Rights of Participants and
          Beneficiaries.  No Participant or Beneficiary shall have any
          preferred claim on, or any beneficial ownership interest in, any
          assets of the Employer prior to the time that any such assets are
          paid to the Participant or Beneficiary as provided in Article 6. 
          The right of a Participant or beneficiary to receive a
          distribution hereunder shall be an unsecured claim against the
          general assets of the Employer.

                                      ARTICLE 8
                                    MISCELLANEOUS

          Section 8.1.  Liability of Employer.  Nothing in this Plan shall
          constitute the creation of a trust or other fiduciary
          relationship between the Employer and Eligible Employee, or
          between the Employer and Beneficiary or any other person.  The
          Employer shall not be considered a trustee solely by reason of
          this Plan.

          Section 8.2.  Assignment and Alienation.  No rights under this
          Plan may be assigned, transferred, alienated, pledged, or
          encumbered by an Eligible Employee or Beneficiary except by will
          or by applicable intestate laws or other laws of descent and
          distribution.

          Section 8.3.  Amendment or Termination.  The Employer hereby
          reserves the right, by written resolution of the Board, to amend
          or terminate this Plan at any time.  However, a Participant's
          Accrued Benefit under this Plan may not be reduced by any such
          amendment or termination without the consent of the Participant.

          Section 8.4.  No Guarantee of Employment.  Nothing in this Plan
          shall be construed as guaranteeing future employment to Eligible
          Employees.  An Eligible Employee continues to be an Employee of
          the Employer solely at the will of the Employer.

          Section 8.5.  Claims Submissions and Review Procedure.  All
          claims for benefits under this Plan shall be governed by the
          claims procedure set forth in the Qualified Plan.
