NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The consolidated balance sheet as of October 28, 2006, the consolidated statements of operations for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 2006 and October 29, 2005 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 2006 and October 29, 2005 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at October 28, 2006 and for all periods presented have been made.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted, as permitted by Rule 10-01 of the Security and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) Regulation S-X, “Interim Financial Statements”. 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 on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 28, 2006 (fiscal 2005). The results of operations for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

The statements of operations for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 2005 have been reclassified to present Net Gain from Sales of Assets as a separate line item. For the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 2005, the primary impact of the reclassification was a decrease of approximately $629,000 and an increase of approximately $2,977,000, respectively, to both Costs of Merchandise Sales and Total Costs of Revenues, with a corresponding decrease to both Gross Profit from Merchandise Sales and Total Gross Profit.

Certain reclassifications regarding discontinued operations have also been made to the prior year’s consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year’s presentation — See Note 6.

NOTE 2. New Accounting Standards

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS No. 123R) requiring that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. The Company adopted SFAS No. 123R on January 29, 2006 using the modified prospective method. The impact of adopting this Standard is discussed in Note 3.

In June of 2006, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force on Issue 06-3, How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross versus Net Presentation). The scope of this consensus includes any tax assessed by a governmental authority that is directly imposed on a revenue-producing transaction between a seller and a customer and may include, but is not limited to sales, use, value added and some excise taxes. Additionally, this consensus seeks to address how a company should address the disclosure of such items in interim and annual financial statements, either gross or net pursuant to APB Opinion No. 22, Disclosure of Accounting Policies. The Company is required to adopt this statement in fiscal 2007. The Company presents sales net of sales taxes in its consolidated statement of operations and does not anticipate changing its policy as a result of EITF 06-3.

In July of 2006, the FASB released FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 prescribes a model for the recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, and provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, disclosure and transition. The Company is required to adopt this Interpretation in fiscal 2007, and is currently evaluating the effect that this Interpretation will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (SAB 108). SAB 108 provides interpretive guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current year financial statement misstatements for the purpose of a materiality assessment. The Company will be required to adopt the provisions of SAB 108 in its first year ending after November 15, 2006. The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines the term fair value, establishes a framework for measuring it within generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about its measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after

November 15, 2007. The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans- an Amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R)” (SFAS 158). SFAS 158 requires entities to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of its defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in such funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. Additionally, an entity’s defined benefit plan assets and obligations must be measured as of the date of the entity’s fiscal year end statement of financial position (with limited exception). The funded status requirement under SFAS 158 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006, while the measurement date requirement is effective as of the date of the entity’s fiscal year-end statement of financial position for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. Upon adoption the Company expects to reduce comprehensive income on its February 3, 2007 consolidated statement of financial position by the elimination of a prepaid intangible asset and the creation of an additional liability.

NOTE 3. Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has a stock-based compensation plan originally approved by the stockholders on May 21, 1990 under which it has previously granted non-qualified stock options and incentive stock options to key employees and members of its Board of Directors. As of October 28, 2006, there were no awards remaining available for grant under the 1990 Plan. The Company has a stock-based compensation plan originally approved by the stockholders on June 2, 1999 under which it has previously granted and may continue to grant non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options and restricted stock units (RSUs) to key employees and members of its Board of Directors. As of October 28, 2006, there were 1,635,387 awards remaining available for grant under the 1999 Plan.

Incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options previously granted under the plans (i) to non-officers, vest fully on the third anniversary of their grant date and (ii) to officers, vest over a four-year period, with one-fifth vesting on each of the grant date and the next four anniversaries thereof. Generally, options granted prior to March 3, 2004 carry an expiration date of ten years and options granted on or after March 3, 2004 carry an expiration date of seven years.

RSUs previously granted to non-officers vest fully on the third anniversary of their grant date. RSUs previously granted to officers (i) on or prior to January 28, 2006, generally vest over a four-year period with one-fifth vesting on each of the grant date and the next four anniversaries thereof and (ii) after January 28, 2006, generally vest over a four-year period with one-fourth vesting on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date.

The Company has also granted RSUs under the 1999 plan in conjunction with its non-qualified deferred compensation plan. Under the deferred compensation plan, the first 20% of an officer’s bonus deferred into the Company’s stock fund is matched by the Company on a one-for-one basis with RSUs that vest over a three-year period, with one third vesting on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date.

The exercise price, term and other conditions applicable to future stock option and RSU grants under the 1999 plan are generally determined by the Board of Directors; provided that the exercise price of stock options must be at least 100% of the quoted market price of the common stock on the grant date. The Company currently satisfies share requirements resulting from RSU conversions and option exercises from its Treasury. The Company believes its Treasury share balance at October 28, 2006 is adequate to satisfy such activity during the next twelve-month period.

Effective January 29, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS No.123R) requiring that compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. The cost is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity award). Prior to January 29, 2006, the Company accounted for share-based compensation to employees in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (APB No. 25), and related interpretations. The Company also followed the disclosure requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”. The Company adopted SFAS No. 123R using the modified prospective method and, accordingly, financial statement amounts for prior periods presented in this Form 10-Q have not been restated to reflect the fair value method of recognizing compensation cost relating to share-based compensation.

SFAS No. 123R also requires the Company to change the classification, in its consolidated statement of cash flows, of any tax benefits realized upon the exercise of stock options or issuance of RSUs in excess of that which is associated with the expense recognized for financial reporting purposes. These amounts, approximately $4,000 and $37,000 for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 2006, respectively, are presented as a financing cash inflow rather than as a reduction of

income taxes paid in the Company’s consolidated statement of cash flows.

The Company recognized approximately $344,000 and $1,267,000 of compensation expense related to stock options, and approximately $549,000 and $1,344,000 of compensation expense related to RSUs, in its operating results (included in selling, general and administrative expenses) in the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 2006, respectively. For the thirteen weeks ended October 28, 2006, the adoption of the fair value method of SFAS No. 123R resulted in additional share-based compensation expense and a corresponding reduction of pre-tax income of approximately $344,000 and a reduction in net income of approximately $234,000. For the thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 2006, the adoption of the fair value method of SFAS No. 123R resulted in additional share-based compensation expense and a corresponding reduction of pre-tax income of approximately $1,267,000, and a reduction in net income of approximately $888,000. The associated deferred tax benefit recognized was $184,000 and $66,000 in the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 2006, respectively. Compensation expense for RSUs recognized before implementation of SFAS No. 123R for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 2005 was $598,000 and $2,001,000, respectively, and was included in selling, general and administrative expenses. As of October 28, 2006 the cumulative effect resulting from the initial application of the provisions of SFAS No. 123R to RSUs was approximately $183,000, net of tax.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Expected volatility is based on historical volatilities for a time period similar to that of the expected term. In estimating the expected term of the options, the Company has utilized the “simplified method” allowable under SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, Share-Based Payment. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. treasury yield curve for issues with a remaining term equal to the expected term.

The following table sets forth the assumptions used to determine compensation cost for our stock options consistent with the requirements of SFAS No. 123R:

Under APB No. 25 there was no compensation cost recognized for the Company’s stock options awarded in the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 2005 as these stock options had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying stock at the grant date. The following table sets forth pro forma information as if compensation cost had been determined consistent with the requirements of SFAS No. 123:

NOTE 4. Merchandise Inventories

Merchandise inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at the end of each fiscal year based on inventory and costs at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations must be based on management’s estimates of expected fiscal year-end inventory levels and costs. If the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method of costing inventory had been used by the Company, inventory would have been $637,195,814 and $615,698,000 as of October 28, 2006 and January 28, 2006, respectively.

The Company also establishes reserves for potentially excess and obsolete inventories based on current inventory levels, the historical analysis of product sales and current market conditions. The nature of the Company’s inventory is such that the risk of obsolescence is minimal and excess inventory has historically been returned to the Company’s vendors for credit. The Company provides reserves when less than full credit is expected from a vendor or when market is lower than recorded costs. The reserves are revised, if necessary, on a quarterly basis for adequacy. The Company’s reserves against inventory for these matters were $13,322,000 and $12,822,000 at October 28, 2006 and January 28, 2006, respectively.

Store Transfers

During the second quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company sold a store that it has leased back and will continue to operate for a one year period. Due to its significant continuing involvement with this store following the sale, the Company reclassified into continuing operations, for all periods presented, this store’s revenues and costs that had been previously classified into discontinued operations during the third quarter of fiscal 2005, in accordance with SFAS No. 144 and EITF No. 03-13.

During the first quarter of 2006, the Company reclassified a store, closed in October 2000, from assets held for use to assets held for disposal in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 144. The Company anticipates disposing of it within one year.

The Company originally expected to contribute approximately $1,417,000 to its pension plan in fiscal 2006. As of October 28, 2006, $228,000 of such contributions had been made. The Company has revised its expectations during fiscal 2006 and now expects total contributions for fiscal 2006 to be approximately $515,000.

The Company has two 401(k) savings plans, which cover all full-time employees who are at least 21 years of age with one or more years of service. The Company contributes the lesser of 50% of the first 6% of a participant’s contributions or 3% of the participant’s compensation. The Company’s savings plans’ contribution expense was approximately $359,000 and $544,000 for the thirteen weeks ended October 28, 2006 and October 29, 2005, respectively, and $2,110,000 and $2,338,000 for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 2006 and October 29, 2005, respectively. On January 31, 2004, the Company amended and restated its Executive Supplemental Retirement Plan (SERP). This amendment converted the defined benefit plan to a defined contribution plan for certain unvested participants and all future participants. All vested participants continue to accrue benefits according to the previous defined benefit formula. The Company’s contribution expense for the defined contribution portion of the plan was approximately $(9,000) and $12,000 for the thirteen weeks ended October 28, 2006 and October 29, 2005, respectively, and $479,000 and $448,000 for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 2006 and October 29, 2005, respectively.

NOTE 8. Advertising Expense

The Company expenses the production costs of advertising the first time the advertising takes place. Gross advertising expense was $18,611,000 and $18,561,000 for the thirteen weeks ended October 28, 2006 and October 29, 2005, respectively, and $62,706,000 and $65,588,000 for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 2006 and October 29, 2005, respectively. No advertising costs were recorded as assets as of October 28, 2006 or January 28, 2006.

Prior to the first quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company received funds from vendors for cooperative advertising. Certain cooperative advertising reimbursements were netted against specific, incremental, identifiable costs incurred in connection with the selling of the vendor’s product. Cooperative advertising reimbursements of $7,510,000 and $26,929,000 for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 2005, respectively, were recorded as a reduction of advertising expense with the net amount included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations. Any excess reimbursements over these costs were characterized as a reduction of inventory and were recognized as a reduction of cost of sales as the inventories were sold, in accordance with EITF No. 02-16. The amount of excess reimbursements recognized as a reduction of costs of sales was $12,362,000 and $33,364,000 for the thirteen and the thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 2005, respectively.

The Company has restructured substantially all of its vendor agreements, effective January 29, 2006, to provide flexibility in how it can use vendor support funds, and eliminate the administrative burden associated with tracking the application of such funds. Accordingly, in the thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 2006, all vendor support funds were treated as a reduction of inventories and were recognized as a reduction to cost of sales as inventories were subsequently sold.

NOTE 9. Debt and Financing Arrangements

On October 27, 2006, the Company amended and restated its Senior Secured Term Loan Facility dated January 27, 2006. The amendment increased the size of the facility from $200,000,000 to $320,000,000, extended its maturity from January 27, 2011 to October 27, 2013 and reduced its interest rate from London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 3.00% to LIBOR plus 2.75%. The interest rate can be further reduced to LIBOR plus 2.50% upon achieving a specified leverage ratio. Accordingly, the number of the Company’s stores included in the collateral pool securing the facility increased from 154 to 241.

Proceeds from the facility were used to satisfy and discharge the Company’s outstanding $119,000,000 4.25% Convertible Senior Notes due June 1, 2007 by deposit into an escrow fund with an independent trustee. The right of the holders of the convertible notes to convert them into shares of the Company’s common stock, at any time until the June 1, 2007 maturity date, survives such satisfaction and discharge. The conversion price is $22.40 per share. The Company recorded a non-cash charge for the value of such conversion right, approximately $755,000 as determined by the Black-Scholes method, in its consolidated statement of operations for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 2006.

NOTE 10. Warranty Reserve

The Company provides warranties for both its merchandise sales and service labor. Warranties for merchandise are generally covered by the respective vendors, with the Company covering any costs above the vendor’s stipulated allowance. Service labor warranties are covered in full by the Company on a limited lifetime basis. The Company establishes its warranty reserves based on historical data of warranty transactions.

Components of the reserve for warranty costs for the thirty-nine week periods ending October 28, 2006 and October 29, 2005 are as follows:

(dollar amounts in thousands)	Thirty-nine Weeks Ended October 28, 2006			Thirty-nine Weeks Ended October 29, 2005

NOTE 11. Net Earnings Per Share

At October 28, 2006 and October 29, 2005 there were 3,203,000 and 4,648,000 outstanding options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively. Certain stock options were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares for the periods then ended. The total numbers of such shares excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation are 2,757,000 and 3,175,000 for the thirteen weeks ended October 28,2006 and October 29, 2005, respectively. The total numbers of such shares excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation are 2,895,000 and 3,218,000 for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 2006 and October 29, 2005, respectively.

NOTE 12. Supplemental Guarantor Information

On December 14, 2004, the Company issued $200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 7.50% Senior Subordinated Notes due December 15, 2014, and on October 27, 2006 the Company expanded its outstanding Senior Secured Term Loan facility from $199,000,000 to $320,000,000 bearing interest of LIBOR plus 2.75% due October 27, 2013. Both issuances are jointly and severally and fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company’s 100% owned direct and indirect operating subsidiaries, The Pep Boys Manny, Moe & Jack of California, Pep Boys - Manny, Moe & Jack of Delaware, Inc. and Pep Boys - Manny, Moe & Jack of Puerto Rico, Inc. The Senior Subordinated Notes are unsecured.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2006 certain assets have been sold at a price of $34,000,000 from Pep Boys to the non-guarantor subsidiary.

The following are consolidating balance sheets of the Company as of October 28, 2006 and January 28, 2006 and the related consolidating statements of operations for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 2006 and October 29, 2005 and condensed consolidating statements of cash flows for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 2006 and October 29, 2005.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The discussion and analysis below for the Company should be read in conjunction with (i) the financial statements and the notes to such financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and (ii) the financial statements and the notes to such financial statements included in Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 28, 2006.

OVERVIEW

The Pep Boys - Manny, Moe & Jack is a leader in the automotive aftermarket with 593 stores located throughout 36 states and Puerto Rico. All of our stores feature the nationally recognized Pep Boys brand name, established through more than 80 years of providing high-quality automotive merchandise and services, and are company-owned, ensuring chain-wide consistency for our customers. We are the only national chain offering automotive service, accessories, tires and parts under one roof, positioning us to achieve our goal of becoming the category dominant one-stop shop for automotive maintenance products and services.

For the thirteen weeks ended October 28, 2006, our comparable sales (sales generated by locations in operation during the same period) increased by 0.8%, compared to a decrease of 2.0% for the thirteen weeks ended October 29, 2005. The increase resulted from stronger core merchandise sales (e.g. hard parts, oil and chemicals) over the prior period, and a 3.9% increase in labor revenue, offset by weaker sales of generators, which were sold at heightened levels in the third quarter of 2005 due to the active hurricane season.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2006, we continued to reinvest in our stores to redesign their interiors and enhance their exterior appeal. During the thirteen weeks ended October 28, 2006, we grand reopened an additional 13 stores in Florida, following the grand reopening of approximately 66 stores in New York, Florida and Colorado in the twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2006. Approximately 25 additional stores are expected to be remodeled and grand reopened during the remainder of fiscal 2006. In fiscal 2007, we expect to remodel and grand reopen approximately 125-150 stores, with the balance of approximately 140-160 stores to be completed in fiscal 2008 and 2009.

The following discussion explains the material changes in our results of operations for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 2006 and the significant developments affecting our financial condition since January 28, 2006. We strongly recommend that you read the audited financial statements and footnotes and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 28, 2006.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - October 28, 2006

Our cash requirements arise principally from capital expenditures related to existing stores, offices and warehouses and from the purchase of inventory. While the primary capital expenditures for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 2006 continue to be attributed to store redesigns, the rate of our store refurbishment program was decreased significantly both as a result of our decision in the second quarter to extend it through fiscal 2009 as well as its increased cost-effectiveness. During the thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 2006, we invested approximately $25,000,000 in property and equipment, a reduction of approximately 60% from the first three quarters of fiscal 2005. We estimate that capital expenditures related to existing stores, warehouses and offices during the remainder of fiscal 2006 will be less than $25,000,000, related primarily to the redesign of our existing stores.

We anticipate that our net cash provided by operating activities and our existing revolving credit facility will exceed our principal cash requirements for capital expenditures and inventory purchases for the remainder of fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2007.

On October 27, 2006, we amended and restated our Senior Secured Term Loan Facility dated January 27, 2006. The amendment increased the size of the facility from $200,000,000 to $320,000,000, extended its maturity from January 27, 2011 to October 27, 2013 and reduced its interest rate from London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 3.00% to LIBOR plus 2.75%. The interest rate can be further reduced to LIBOR plus 2.50% upon achieving a specified leverage ratio. Accordingly, the number of our stores included in the collateral pool securing the facility increased from 154 to 241.

Proceeds from the facility were used to satisfy and discharge our outstanding $119,000,000 4.25% Convertible Senior Notes due June 1, 2007 by deposit into an escrow fund with an independent trustee. The right of the holders of the convertible notes to convert them into shares of our common stock, at any time until the June 1, 2007 maturity date, survives such satisfaction and discharge. The conversion price is $22.40 per share. We recorded a non-cash charge for the value of such conversion

right, approximately $755,000 as determined by the Black-Scholes method, in our consolidated statement of operations for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 2006.

During the thirteen weeks ended October 28, 2006 we repaid approximately $25,000,000 of life insurance proceeds, which had been withdrawn against the cash surrender value of our life insurance policies during fiscal 2005.

Working capital decreased from $247,526,000 at January 28, 2006 to $170,746,000 at October 28, 2006, primarily due to repayments of our long term line of credit and a decrease in reinsurance receivable. At October 28, 2006, we had stockholders’ equity of $575,643,000 and long-term debt, net of current maturities, of $524,426,000. Our long-term debt was 47.7% of our total capitalization at October 28, 2006 and 49.6% at January 28, 2006. As of October 28, 2006, we had an available line of credit totaling $218,968,000 and a cash and cash equivalents balance of $22,492,000.

As a convenience to our vendors, we provide a vendor financing program with an availability of $20,000,000. Under this program, the Company’s factor makes accelerated and discounted payments to our vendors and the Company, in turn, makes its regularly scheduled full vendor payments to the factor. As of October 28, 2006, the Company had an outstanding balance of $13,284,000 under these arrangements, classified as trade payable program liability in the consolidated balance sheet.

We originally expected to contribute approximately $1,417,000 to our pension plan in fiscal 2006. As of October 28, 2006, $228,000 of contributions had been made. We now anticipate total pension contributions for fiscal 2006 to be approximately $515,000.

OTHER CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

In the first quarter of fiscal 2005, we entered into a contractual commitment to purchase approximately $4,800,000 of products over a six-year period. The commitment for years two through five is approximately $945,000 per year, while the first and final year’s commitment is approximately $500,000. Following year two, we are obligated to pay the vendor a per unit reimbursement for any shortfall between our cumulative purchases during the two year period then ended and the minimum purchase requirement. For years three through six, we are obligated to pay the vendor a per unit reimbursement for any annual shortfall. The maximum obligation under any shortfall is approximately $945,000. At October 28, 2006, we expect to satisfy each of the cumulative minimum purchase requirements under this contract.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, our discontinued operations has reflected the ongoing costs associated with eleven stores remaining from the 33 stores closed on July 31, 2003 as part of our corporate restructuring (see Note 6 of Item 1—Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

Store Transfers

During the second quarter of fiscal 2006, we sold a store that we have leased back and will continue to operate for a one year period. Due to our significant continuing involvement with this store following the sale, we reclassified back into continuing operations, for all periods presented, this store’s revenues and costs that had been previously reclassified into discontinued operations during the third quarter of fiscal 2005, in accordance with SFAS No. 144 and EITF 03-13.

(1) Service revenue consists of the labor charge for installing merchandise or maintaining or repairing vehicles, excluding the sale of any installed parts or materials.

(2) Costs of merchandise sales include the cost of products sold, buying, warehousing and store occupancy costs. Costs of service revenue include service center payroll and related employee benefits and service center occupancy costs. Occupancy costs include utilities, rents, real estate and property taxes, repairs and maintenance and depreciation and amortization expenses.

(3) As a percentage of related sales or revenue, as applicable.

(4) As a percentage of Loss from Continuing Operations Before Income Taxes and Cumulative Effect of Change in Accounting Principle.

(5) Net Gain (Loss) on Sales of Assets for 2005 was reclassified primarily from Costs of Merchandise Sales (see Note 1 of Item 1- Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

Thirteen Weeks Ended October 28, 2006 vs. Thirteen Weeks Ended October 29, 2005

Total revenues for the third quarter increased 0.9%. This increase was due primarily to an increase in comparable revenues (revenues generated by locations in operation during the same period) of 0.8%. Comparable merchandise sales increased 0.2% while comparable service revenue increased 3.9%.

Gross profit from merchandise sales increased, as a percentage of merchandise sales, to 28.8% in fiscal 2006 from 25.3% in fiscal 2005. This was a 14.2% or $16,229,000 increase from the prior period. This increase as a percentage of merchandise sales was due primarily to an increase in merchandise margins and lower warehousing costs, offset by higher occupancy costs. The increase in merchandise margins resulted from the restructuring of our vendor agreements, lower freight costs and a more favorable product mix. Effective January 29, 2006, substantially all of our vendor agreements were restructured to no longer identify specific incremental expenses for cooperative advertising; therefore, all vendor support funds are now treated as a reduction of inventories and are recognized as an increase to gross profit from merchandise sales as the inventories are sold, in accordance with EITF 02-16. Gross profit from merchandise sales for the thirteen weeks ended October 28, 2006 improved by approximately $6,760,000 compared to the thirteen weeks ended October 29, 2005 primarily as a result of these contractual changes. Warehousing costs were lower due to reduced payroll, public storage and temporary labor costs. The increase in store occupancy costs was due to an increase in utility and rental equipment costs, in addition to higher depreciation costs related to a larger cumulative base of stores remodeled under the grand reopening program.

Gross profit from service revenue increased, as a percentage of service revenue, to 7.2% in fiscal 2006 from 5.0% in fiscal 2005. This was a 50.5% or $2,351,000 increase from the prior period. This increase, as a percentage of service revenue, was due mainly to greater service revenue, combined with a relatively flat cost structure.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased, as a percentage of total revenues, to 25.3% in fiscal 2006 from 23.3% in fiscal 2005. This was a 9.6% or $12,218,000 increase from the prior period. This increase, as a percentage of total revenues, was due to increased net media expense and general and administrative expenses. The increase in net media expense was caused by a change in our vendor agreements, which resulted in a different application of EITF 02-16, whereby approximately $7,510,000 in vendor support funds were recorded as a reduction in advertising costs for the thirteen weeks ended October 28, 2005 (see above explanation of vendor agreement restructuring). The increase in general and administrative expenses was due primarily to $4,550,000 for the November 21, 2006 settlement of various litigation matters.

Interest expense increased $6,376,000 primarily due to a charge of approximately $4,200,000 for the remaining interest associated with the early satisfaction and discharge of the 4.25% Convertible Senior Notes on October 27, 2006, and the value of the surviving conversion right expiring June 1, 2007. Additionally, there was an approximate 25 basis point increase in the weighted average interest rate on a flat weighted average debt level.

Results from discontinued operations for the third quarter of 2006 was a loss of $205,000 (net of tax) compared to a profit of $181,000 (net of tax) in the third quarter of fiscal 2005.

Cumulative effect of change in accounting principle, net of tax, increased from the initial amount recorded upon adoption of FAS 123R at April 29, 2006 as a result of a change in the estimated annual effective tax rate.

Net loss decreased, as a percentage of total revenues, due primarily to an increase in total gross profit, as a percentage of sales, offset by higher interest and selling, general and administrative expenses.

Thirty-nine Weeks Ended October 28, 2006 vs. Thirty-nine Weeks Ended October 29, 2005

Total revenues for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2006 decreased 0.1%. Comparable revenues (revenues generated by locations in operation during the same period) were essentially unchanged. Comparable merchandise sales were slightly negative, while comparable service revenue increased 1.0%.

Gross profit from merchandise sales increased, as a percentage of merchandise sales, to 28.5% in fiscal 2006 from 26.2% in fiscal 2005. This was an 8.7% or $31,877,000 increase from the prior period. This increase as a percentage of merchandise sales was due primarily to an increase in merchandise margins and lower warehousing costs, offset by higher occupancy costs and purchasing payroll. The increase in merchandise margins resulted from the restructuring of our vendor agreements and lower inventory shrinkage estimates, offset by a less favorable product mix. Effective January 29, 2006, substantially all of our vendor agreements were restructured to no longer identify specific incremental expenses for cooperative advertising; therefore, all vendor support funds are now treated as a reduction of inventories and are recognized as an increase to gross profit from merchandise sales as the inventories are sold, in accordance with EITF 02-16. Gross profit from merchandise sales for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 2006 improved by approximately $27,900,000 compared to the thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 2005 primarily as a result of these contractual changes. Warehousing costs were lower due to reduced rent and lower public storage, payroll and temporary labor costs. The increase in store occupancy costs was due to an increase in depreciation costs related to a larger cumulative base of stores remodeled under the grand reopening program, in addition to higher utility and rental equipment costs.

Gross profit from service revenue decreased, as a percentage of service revenue to 8.2% in fiscal 2006 from 10.7% in fiscal 2005. This was a 22.7% or $7,059,000 decrease from the prior period. This decrease, as a percentage of service revenue, was due to higher payroll and depreciation costs. The increase in payroll was primarily due to a higher utilization of more skilled labor, increased incentives and bonuses and increased staffing.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased, as a percentage of total revenues, to 24.3% in fiscal 2006 from 23.4% in fiscal 2005. This was a 3.7% or $14,653,000 increase from the prior period. This increase, as a percentage of total revenues, was due to increased net media expense and general and administrative expense, offset by decreases in store expenses and benefits. The increase in net media expense was caused by a change in our vendor agreements which resulted in a different application of EITF 02-16, whereby approximately $26,900,000 in vendor support funds were recorded as a reduction in advertising costs for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 2005 (see above explanation of vendor agreement restructuring), offset by lower gross media expenditures than were experienced in the prior year related to the grand reopenings of the Los Angeles, Philadelphia and Chicago metropolitan markets. The increase in general and administrative expenses was due primarily to $4,550,000 for the settlement of various litigation matters and approximately $2,300,000 of costs related to the Company’s strategic review process and the resolution of certain threatened proxy contests, offset in part, by lower hiring and moving, insuarance and systems consulting expenses. The decrease in store expenses was due primarily to a favorable insurance settlement of $2,300,000, a favorable litigation settlement of approximately $2,100,000 from certain of our credit card processors and reduced payroll of approximately $2,100,000.

Net gain on sales of assets increased, as a percentage of total revenues, to 0.3% in fiscal 2006 from 0.2% in fiscal 2005. This was a 109.2% or $3,252,000 increase from the prior year. This increase, as a percentage of total revenues, was due primarily to a gain of $6,329,000 from a sale of a store in fiscal 2006, compared to a gain of $5,177,000 offset by a loss of $502,000 related to stores sold in fiscal 2005.

Interest expense increased $10,532,000 primarily due to a charge of approximately $4,200,000 for the remaining interest associated with the early satisfaction and discharge of the 4.25% Convertible Senior Notes on October 27, 2006, and the value of the surviving conversion right expiring June 1, 2007. Additionally, there was an approximate 40 basis point increase in the weighted average interest rate on a higher weighted average debt level.

Results from discontinued operations for 2006 was a loss of $338,000 (net of tax) compared to a gain of $3,000 (net of tax) in 2005.

Net loss decreased, as a percentage of total revenues, due primarily to an increase in total gross profit and in net gain on sales of assets, as a percentage of sales, offset by higher interest and selling, general and administrative costs.

INDUSTRY COMPARISON

We operate in the U.S. automotive aftermarket, which has two general competitive arenas: the Do-It-For-Me (“DIFM”) (service labor, installed merchandise and tires) market and the Do-It-Yourself (“DIY”) (retail merchandise) market. Generally, the specialized automotive retailers focus on either the “DIY” or “DIFM” areas of the business. We believe that our operation in both the “DIY” and “DIFM” areas of the business positively differentiates us from most of our competitors. Although operating performance is measured at a store level in aggregation, we believe that the following presentation shows an accurate comparison against competitors within the two sales arenas. We compete in the “DIY” area of the business through our retail sales floor and commercial sales business (Retail Sales). Our Service Center Business (labor and installed merchandise and tires) competes in the DIFM area of the industry.

The following table presents the revenues and gross profit for each area of the business.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS No. 123R) requiring that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. We adopted SFAS No. 123R on January 29, 2006 using the modified prospective method. The impact of adopting this Standard is discussed in Note 3 of Item 1 – Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June of 2006, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force on Issue 06-3, How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross versus Net Presentation). The scope of this consensus includes any tax assessed by a governmental authority that is directly imposed on a revenue-producing transaction between a seller and a customer and may include, but is not limited to sales, use, value added and some excise taxes. Additionally, this consensus seeks to address how a company should address the disclosure of such items in interim and annual financial statements, either gross or net pursuant to APB Opinion No. 22, Disclosure of Accounting Policies. We are required to adopt this statement in fiscal 2007. We present sales net of sales taxes in our consolidated statement of operations and do not anticipate changing its policy as a result of EITF 06-3.

In July of 2006, the FASB released FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 prescribes a model for the recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, and provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, disclosure and transition. We are required to adopt this Interpretation in fiscal 2007, and are currently evaluating the effect that this Interpretation will have on our consolidated financial statements.

for the purpose of a materiality assessment. The Company will be required to adopt the provisions of SAB 108 in its first year ending after November 15, 2006. The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines the term fair value, establishes a framework for measuring it within GAAP and expands disclosures about its measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We do not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans- an Amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R)” (SFAS 158). SFAS 158 requires entities to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of its defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in such funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. Additionally, an entity’s defined benefit plan assets and obligations must be measured as of the date of the entity’s fiscal year end statement of financial position (with limited exception). The funded status requirement under SFAS 158 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006, while the measurement date requirement is effective as of the date of the entity’s fiscal year-end statement of financial position for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. We expect to reduce comprehensive income on our February 3, 2007 consolidated statement of financial position by the elimination of a prepaid intangible asset and the creation of an additional liability.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Additionally, we estimate our interim product gross margins in accordance with Accounting Principles Bulletin No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting”.

On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to customer incentives, product returns and warranty obligations, bad debts, inventories, income taxes, financing operations, restructuring costs, retirement benefits, risk participation agreements and contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. For a detailed discussion of significant accounting policies that may involve a higher degree of judgment or complexity, refer to “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” as reported in our Form 10-K for the year ended January 28, 2006, which disclosures are hereby incorporated by reference.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements contained herein constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The words “guidance,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimates,” “forecasts” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include management’s expectations regarding future financial performance, automotive aftermarket trends, levels of competition, business development activities, future capital expenditures, financing sources and availability and the effects of regulation and litigation. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that our expectations will be achieved. Our actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements due to factors beyond our control, including the strength of the national and regional economies, retail and commercial consumers’ ability to spend, the health of the various sectors of the automotive aftermarket, the weather in geographical regions with a high concentration of our stores, competitive pricing, the location and number of competitors’ stores, product and labor costs and the additional factors described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). We assume no obligation to update or supplement forward-looking statements that become untrue because of subsequent events.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company does not utilize financial instruments for trading purposes and does not hold any derivative financial instruments that 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 its revolving credit agreement, changes in the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) could affect the rates at which the Company could borrow funds thereunder. At October 28, 2006, the Company had borrowings of $6,095,000 under this facility. Additionally, the Company has a $320,000,000 Senior Secured Term Loan facility that bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.75%, and approximately $122,287,000 of real estate operating leases that vary based on changes in LIBOR.

We have entered into an interest rate swap, which was designated as a cash flow hedge to convert the variable LIBOR portion of the real estate lease payments to a fixed rate of 2.90%, terminating on July 1, 2008 (coterminous with the leases noted above). If the critical terms of the interest rate swap or the hedge item do not change, the interest rate swap will be considered to be highly effective with all changes in fair value included in other comprehensive income. As of October 28, 2006 and January 28, 2006, the fair values of the interest rate swap were $4,759,000 ($3,015,000 net of tax) and $5,790,000 ($3,660,000, net of tax), respectively, and these changes in value were included in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the consolidated balance sheet.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Our controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report are functioning effectively to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

In connection with the filing of this Form 10-Q, the Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

No change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
