              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                 March 31, 1997


1.  Basis of Presentation
- -------------------------

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial  information  and the  instructions  to Form  10-Q and  Article  10 of
Regulation  S-X.  Accordingly,  they do not include all of the  information  and
footnotes  required by generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management,  all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals)  considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included.  Operating  results for the three months ended March 31, 1997 are
not  necessarily  indicative  of the results  that may be expected  for the year
ended  December 31, 1997.  For further  information,  refer to the  consolidated
financial  statements and footnotes thereto included in the O'Reilly Automotive,
Inc. and  Subsidiaries'  annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended  December
31, 1996.


2.  Earnings Per Share
- ----------------------

In February 1997, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
128,  Earnings Per Share,  which is required to be adopted on December 31, 1997.
At that time,  O'Reilly  Automotive,  Inc. will be required to change the method
currently  used to compute  earnings  per share and restate  all prior  periods.
Under the new  requirements  for  calculating  primary  earnings per share,  the
dilutive  effect of stock options will be excluded.  The impact of Statement No.
128 is not  expected  to be  material  to the  calculation  of primary and fully
diluted earnings per share for the quarters ended March 31, 1997 and 1996.


                                       6

The  information  discussed  below in  Management's  Discussion  and Analysis of
Financial  Condition and Results of  Operations  contains  statements  regarding
matters that are not  historical  facts  (including  statements as to beliefs or
expectations of O'Reilly Automotive, Inc.) which are forward-looking statements.
Because  such  forward-looking   statements  include  risks  and  uncertainties,
including those risks discussed in Exhibit 99.1 hereto, the actual results could
differ materially from those discussed below.


                ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                -----------------------------------------------
                 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
                 ---------------------------------------------


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Product  sales for the first  quarter of 1997  increased  by $13.2  million,  or
23.8%,  over product  sales for the first quarter of 1996 due to a 9.0% increase
in  comparable  store  product  sales for the  quarter,  the  opening  of 28 new
O'Reilly stores during the last three quarters of 1996 and the opening of 11 new
stores during the first quarter of 1997.  Management  believes that the consumer
acceptance  experienced by these new O'Reilly  stores and the increased  product
sales achieved by the existing O'Reilly stores is the result of the continuation
of media advertising  during the first three months of 1997 at the levels set in
1996,  an  increase  in the  broad  selection  of stock  keeping  units  (SKU's)
available at both new and existing  O'Reilly  stores,  the increase in inventory
levels at most O'Reilly  stores and the  increasing  penetration  of the general
geographic markets in which O'Reilly Automotive, Inc. (the "Company") operates.

Gross profit  increased  30.3% from $22.4 million (or 40.5% of product sales) in
the first  quarter of 1996 to $29.2  million (or 42.6% of product  sales) in the
first  quarter of 1997.  The increase in gross profit  resulted  primarily  from
improvements in the Company's  product  acquisition  programs and changes in the
product sales mix. The Company's product  acquisition  programs have resulted in
lower product costs due to increased  buying power and promotional  programs and
allowances offered by the Company's vendors.

Operating,   selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses  (OSG&A  expenses)
increased  $5.0  million from $16.3  million (or 29.4% of product  sales) in the
first quarter of 1996 to $21.3 million (or 31.1% of product  sales) in the first
quarter of 1997.  OSG&A expenses  increased in dollar amount and as a percent of
product  sales  primarily  from the new store  openings  during  the last  three
quarters  of 1996 and the first  quarter of 1997,  additions  to  administrative
staff and  facilities in order to support the  increased  level of the Company's
operations and increased medical claims under the Company's insurance program.

Other income,  net,  decreased by $273,000 in the first quarter of 1997 compared
to the first quarter of 1996. The decrease was primarily due to reduced interest
income from short-term  investments and increased  interest  expense from higher
balances on short-term borrowings.

The  Company's  estimated  provision  for income taxes  increased  from 36.8% of
income  before  income taxes in the first  quarter of 1996 to 37.2% in the first
quarter of 1997. The increase in the effective income tax rate was primarily due
to the decrease in tax-exempt investment income and increased sales occurring in
states with higher income tax rates.

Principally as a result of the foregoing, net income increased from $4.1 million
or 7.4% of product sales in the first quarter of 1996 to $5.0 million or 7.3% of
product sales in the first quarter of 1997.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash of $9.5  million was  provided by  operating  activities  for the first
three months of 1997 as compared to $3.8 million net cash  provided by operating
activities for the first three months of 1996. This increase was principally the
result of increases in net income,  accounts  payable,  depreciation  and income
taxes  payable  offset by an increase in  inventory.  The  increases in accounts
payable and inventory are primarily due the addition of new stores and increased
sales levels in existing and newly opened stores.

Net cash used in investing activities has increased from $4.7 million in 1996 to
$9.0 million in 1997  primarily  due to an increase in purchases of property and
equipment as a result of the Company's accelerated store growth program.

Cash provided by financing  activities  has  increased  from $0.9 million in the
first three  months of 1996 to $2.1  million in the first three  months of 1997.
The  increase was  primarily  due to increased  borrowings  under the  Company's
credit facilities during the first three months of 1997.

The Company has  available an unsecured  line of credit with  Boatmen's  Bank of
Southern Missouri.  Under the terms thereof,  the Company may borrow up to $17.0
million until June 1997.  Borrowings  outstanding  under the line of credit bear
interest at LIBOR plus 1% (6.69% as of March 31, 1997).  At March 31, 1997, $4.0
million was outstanding under the line of credit.

The Company also has  available  an unsecured  revolving  credit  facility  with
Commerce Bank, N.A. of Springfield, Missouri. Under terms of this agreement, the
Company  may borrow up to $15  million  upon  compliance  with  various  minimum
financial ratios. This credit facility bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.25% (6.94%
at March 31, 1997) and matures in May 1997. At March 31, 1997,  $1.0 million was
outstanding under this credit facility.

The Company has entered into  discussions  with each of the banks providing such
credit facilities  described above to extend the terms and the amounts available
under the  facilities.  Management  believes it can obtain an  extension  of the
terms and an  increase  in the maximum  borrowings  available  under such credit
facilities.  However,  no assurances can be made that terms  satisfactory to the
Company can be obtained.

The Company  plans to open an  additional  30 stores in 1997 (for a net total of
40). The funds required for such planned expansions will be provided by the cash
expected to be generated from operating activities,  short-term  investments and
existing and future bank credit facilities.

Management  believes  that the cash  expected  to be  generated  from  operating
activities,  existing cash and short-term investments,  existing and future bank
credit facilities and trade credit will be sufficient to fund both the short and
long-term capital and liquidity needs of the Company for the foreseeable future.

                   O'REILLY AUTOMOTIVE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                      Exhibit 99.1 - Certain Risk Factors


The following  factors could affect the Company's actual results,  including its
revenues,  expenses  and net  income,  and could  cause them to differ  from any
forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company.

Competition

The Company  competes  with a large  number of retail and  wholesale  automotive
aftermarket  product  suppliers.  The  distribution  of  automotive  aftermarket
products is a highly  competitive  industry,  particularly  in the more  densely
populated market areas served by the Company.  Competitors  include national and
regional  automotive  parts  chains,  independently  owned parts stores (some of
which are associated  with national auto parts  distributors  or  associations),
automobile  dealerships,  mass or general merchandise,  discount and convenience
chains that carry automotive products,  independent  warehouse  distributors and
parts stores and national warehouse  distributors and associations.  Some of the
Company's  competitors  are larger than the Company and have  greater  financial
resources than the Company.

No Assurance of Future Growth

Management  believes that the Company's  ability to open additional stores at an
accelerated rate will be a significant factor in achieving its growth objectives
for the  future.  The  ability  of the  Company  to  accomplish  its  growth  is
dependent,  in part, on matters  beyond the Company's  control,  such as weather
conditions,  zoning and other issues related to new store site development,  the
availability of qualified management personnel and general business and economic
conditions. No assurance can be given that the Company's current growth rate can
be maintained.

Dependence Upon Key and Other Personnel

The success of the Company has been largely  dependent on the efforts of certain
key personnel of the Company, including David E. O'Reilly, Lawrence P. O'Reilly,
Charles H. O'Reilly,  Jr.,  Rosalie O'Reilly Wooten and Ted F. Wise. The loss of
the services of one or more of these  individuals  could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's  business and results of  operations.  Additionally,  in
order to successfully implement and manage its growth strategy, the Company will
be  dependent  upon its  ability to  continue  to attract  and retain  qualified
personnel.  There can be no assurance  that the Company will be able to continue
to attract such personnel.

Concentration of Ownership by Management

The Company's  executive  officers and directors as a group  beneficially  own a
substantial  percentage of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock.
These  officers  and  directors  have the ability to exercise  effective  voting
control  of the  Company,  including  the  election  of  all  of  the  Company's
directors, and to effectively determine the vote on any matter being voted on by
the Company  shareholders,  including any merger, sale of assets or other change
in control of the Company.
