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 six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 are 
not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.


Note 2 - Earnings Per Share

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


Note 3 - Subsequent Event

The Company acquired certain assets of Beacon Auto Parts Company, a 
privately-held distributor of automotive replacement parts based in 
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on July 7, 1995.  The purchase price was 
approximately $12.6 million.  A combination of cash, notes payable and 69,232 
shares of the Company's common stock comprised the consideration given.  Terms 
also included additional payments contingent upon the future performance of 
the acquired operations.  In anticipation of the acquisition, the Company 
increased the availability under its revolving bank credit facility with 
Comerica Bank from $20 million to $35 million.  The acquisition will be  
accounted for under the purchase method.


Note 4 - Litigation

During the second quarter of 1995, the Company recognized a provision of 
$2,600,000 ($1,573,000 or $0.45 per share after tax) for a damage award of 
$955,000 (plus estimated interest and legal costs) affirmed by a Michigan  
State Appellate Court.  The litigation involved a former executive's claim of  
breach of contract in connection with his discharge by the Company in 1986.
The Company is seeking further appeal of this decision.

PART II Item 2.

Republic Automotive Parts, Inc.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONS:

Results of Operations

Net sales increased 1.1% for the first six months of 1995 compared to the same 
period in 1994.  Net sales decreased 3.7% for the second quarter of 1995 
compared to the same period in 1994.  The sales decrease in the second quarter 
is due principally to sluggish demand created by lackluster economic 
conditions.  Sales for units owned continuously during 1995 and 1994 also
decreased 4.0%.  Cost of goods sold decreased 1.2% during the first six months 
of 1995 compared to the same period in 1994.  The cost of goods sold decrease 
is primarily a result of the change in sales mix between sales made by the
Company's distribution centers versus its jobber stores, the sales of which are 
at higher gross profit margins.  Selling, general and administrative expenses 
increased by 5.8% for the first six months in 1995 compared to the same period 
in 1994 due principally to the inclusion of expenses from acquisitions made in  
January and April 1994 and the opening in 1995 of two distribution centers by  
the Company's subsidiary, Fenders & More, Inc..  Interest expense increased 
111.6% for the first six months of 1995 compared to the same period in 1994 
due to increased debt levels and higher interest rates.  The results for the 
first six months of 1995 also include a charge related to an adverse decision  
during the second quarter in an appeal of an earlier litigation verdict 
(see Note 4 above).

As a result of the above actions, income before income taxes decreased by 
$2,784,000 for the first six months of 1995 over the same period last year.  
Earnings of $0.07 cents per share were reported for the first six months of 
1995 compared to $0.56 per share for the same period in 1994.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

The Company's ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 3.5 at June 
30, 1995 compared to 3.8 at December 31, 1994.  Working capital at June 30, 
1995 was $45,153,000 compared with $44,638,000 at December 31, 1994.

Current financial resources (expected cash from operations, working capital 
and short-term borrowing) available to the Company are expected to be 
adequate to meet future cash requirements for capital expenditures and 
anticipated debt reduction which are payable over the next several years for 
various notes made in connection with acquisitions.  At June 30, 1995, the 
company had utilized $19 million of its available cash resources under its 
revolving bank credit facility.  In anticipation of the acquisition discussed 
in Note 3 above, the Company increased the availability in July under its 
revolving bank credit facility with Comerica Bank from $20 million to $35 
million.

PART II Item 2.

Republic Automotive Parts, Inc.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONS: (Continued)


The Company anticipates growth through possible acquisitions and openings of 
new distribution and jobber locations.  The Company acquired certain assets  
of Beacon Auto Parts Company, a privately-held distributor of automotive 
replacement parts based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on July 7, 1995.  This 
acquisition was financed primarily through additional borrowing on the 
Company's revolving bank credit facility.  The Company also opened its fourth  
and fifth Fenders &  More, Inc. distribution centers in Jackson, Mississippi 
and Jackson, Tennessee in January and May 1995, respectively.  A sixth 
distribution center in the St. Louis, Missouri area is expected to be opened 
before the end of the third quarter.

Although no other 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 and openings, if any.
