                   O'REILLY AUTOMOTIVE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)
                                 March 31, 2000


1.  Basis of Presentation

Accordingly,  they do not include all of the information and footnotes  required

2000. For further  information,  refer to the consolidated  financial statements
and footnotes  thereto  included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1999.

2. Restatement

All share and per share information  included in the financial  statements as of
March 31, 1999, and the three months then ended has been restated to reflect the
retroactive effect of the two-for-one stock split effected on November 30, 1999.

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

Unless  otherwise  indicated,  "we," "us," "our" and similar  terms,  as well as
references to the "Company" or "O'Reilly" refer to O'Reilly Automotive, Inc. and
its subsidiaries.

Results of Operations

Product  sales for the first  quarter of 2000  increased  by $29.4  million,  or
17.6%,  over product sales for the first quarter of 1999.  This increase was due
to the opening of 30 net,  new O'Reilly  stores  during the last quarter of 1999
and the  opening of 23 net,  new stores  during  the first  quarter of 2000,  in
addition to a 5.0% increase in  comparable  store  product  sales.  At March 31,
2000, we operated 594 stores compared to 500 stores at March 31, 1999.

Gross profit  increased  19.4% from $71.0 million (or 42.6% of product sales) in
the first  quarter of 1999 to $84.7  million (or 43.3% of product  sales) in the
first quarter of 2000. The increase in gross profit margin was attributable to a
favorable  product mix resulting  primarily from the warm weather in January and
our increased buying power resulting from the increased volume of purchases.

Operating,  selling,  general and  administrative  expenses  ("OSG&A  expenses")
increased  $10.5 million from $54.7  million (or 32.9% of product  sales) in the
first quarter of 1999 to $65.2 million (or 33.3% of product  sales) in the first
quarter of 2000.  The increase in OSG&A  expenses  resulted from the addition of
team  members  and  resources  in order to support  the  increased  level of our
operations.

Other expense decreased by $1.4 million in the first quarter of 2000 compared to
the first  quarter of 1999.  The overall  decrease in other expense in the first
quarter of 2000 is due to a  substantial  reduction  in debt at the end of first
quarter of 1999 with the proceeds from the secondary offering,  thereby reducing
interest expense in 2000 in comparison with 1999.

Our estimated  provision for income taxes  decreased from 38.3% of income before
income  taxes in the first  three  months of 1999 to 37.8% in the same period in
2000. The decrease in the effective income tax rate was primarily due to changes
in the mix of taxable income among the states in which we operate.

Principally,  as a result  of the  foregoing,  net  income  increased  from $8.6
million or 5.2% of product  sales in the first  quarter of 1999 to $11.6 million
or 5.9% of product sales in the first quarter of 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash provided by operating  activities  decreased from $18.3 million for the
first three months in 1999 to $11.5  million for the first three months of 2000.
This  decrease  was  principally  the result of an  increase  in  inventory  and
decreases  in  accounts  payable  and  accrued  expenses,  net of a decrease  in
receivables.  The increase in inventory was primarily  attributable to new store
growth.  The decreases in accounts  payable,  accrued expenses and receivables
were due to the timing of payments.

Net cash used in investing activities has increased from $8.6 million in 1999 to
$21.4 million in 2000  primarily due to the increased  purchases of property and
equipment  for the 23 net new stores  opened in first  quarter 2000 versus the 9
net new stores opened in the same period in 1999.

Cash used in financing  activities was $8.2 million in the first three months of
1999. Cash provided by financing  activities was $9.6 million in the first three
months of 2000.  As discussed  above,  during the first three months of 1999, we
substantially  reduced our credit  facility with the proceeds from the secondary
offering and the  issuance of common  stock.  The  increase in cash  provided by
financing  activities in the first three months of 2000 was primarily due to the
proceeds from issuance of our long-term debt,  partially offset by the scheduled
principal payments on debt.

Aside from the 23 net, new stores  opened in the first three months of 2000,  we
plan to open an  additional  77 net new stores in 2000.  The funds  required for
such planned  expansions  are  expected to be provided by operating  activities,
short-term investments and the existing and available bank credit facilities.

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

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (CONT.)

Inflation and Seasonality

We have been  successful,  in many cases, in reducing the effects of merchandise
cost increases  principally by taking  advantage of vendor  incentive  programs,
economies of scale  resulting from  increased  volume of purchases and selective
forward  buying.  As a  result,  we do not  believe  our  operations  have  been
materially affected by inflation.

Our  business is seasonal to some extent  primarily as a result of the impact of
weather  conditions  on store sales.  Store sales and profits have  historically
been higher in the second and third quarters  (April through  September) of each
year than in the first and fourth quarters.

Year 2000 Issue

In prior years, we discussed the nature and progress of our plans to become Year
2000 ready.  In late 1999, we completed our  remediation and testing of systems.
As a result of those  planning and  implementation  efforts,  we  experienced no
significant   disruptions  in  mission  critical   information   technology  and
non-information  technology  systems  and  believe  those  systems  successfully
responded  to the Year  2000 date  change.  The total  cost of the  project  was
approximately  $217,000 during 1999 in connection with  remediating our systems.
Of  the  total  cost,   approximately   $38,000   represented  the  purchase  of
replacements or upgrades of software and hardware,  which were capitalized.  The
remaining  portion of the project cost was expensed as incurred  during 1999. We
are not aware of any material problems  resulting from Year 2000 issues,  either
with our products,  our internal systems,  or the products and services of third
parties. We will continue to monitor our mission critical computer  applications
and those of our suppliers and vendors  throughout  the year 2000 to ensure that
any latent Year 2000 matters that may arise are addressed promptly.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain  statements  contained  in  this  quarterly  report  on  Form  10-Q  are
forward-looking  statements.  These  statements  discuss,  among  other  things,
expected growth, store development and expansion strategy,  business strategies,
future  revenues and future  performance.  The  forward-looking  statements  are
subject to risks,  uncertainties and assumptions  including,  but not limited to
competitive  pressures,  demand for our products, the market for auto parts, the
economy in general,  inflation,  consumer  debt levels and the  weather.  Actual
results  may  materially  differ from  anticipated  results  described  in these
forward-looking statements. Certain risks are discussed in Exhibit 99.1 hereto.

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


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

Competition

We compete 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 us. 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 our competitors are larger and
have greater financial resources than us.

No Assurance of Future Growth

We believe that our ability to open  additional  stores at an  accelerated  rate
will be a significant  factor in achieving our growth objectives for the future.
Our ability to accomplish  this growth is dependent,  in part, on matters beyond
our 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 our
current growth rate can be maintained.
Dependence Upon Key and Other Personnel

Dependence Upon Key and Other Personnel

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

Concentration of Ownership by Management

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