THE PEP BOYS - MANNY, MOE & JACK AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of August 4, 2007, the condensed consolidated statements of operations and changes in retained earnings for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended August 4, 2007 and July 29, 2006 and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the twenty-six week periods ended August 4, 2007 and July 29, 2006 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at August 4, 2007 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 Securities and Exchange Commission’s 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 February 3, 2007. The results of operations for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended August 4, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year.

NOTE 2. New Accounting Standards

Adopted:

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Financial Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements in accordance with the FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.”  The interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute criteria for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  The interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal, various states and Puerto Rico jurisdictions.  The Company is no longer subject to federal income tax examination by tax authorities for years before fiscal 2004. The federal audit of tax fiscal years 2001, 2002 and 2003 was closed during the second quarter resulting in the recognition of a $4,227,000 additional income tax benefit. The impact of this recognition resulting from the federal audit remains subject to examination by the various states through fiscal 2008. The Company does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

State and local income tax returns are generally subject to examination for a period of three to five years after filing of the respective return. The Company and its subsidiaries have various state income tax returns in the process of examination, appeals and litigation.

The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on February 4, 2007.  In connection with the adoption, the Company recorded a net decrease to retained earnings of $155,000 and reclassified certain previously recognized deferred tax attributes as FIN 48 liabilities.  The amount of unrecognized tax benefits at February 4, 2007 was $7,126,000 of which $2,216,000 would impact the Company’s tax rate, if recognized.

The Company recognizes potential interest and penalties for unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense and, accordingly, during the thirteen weeks and twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2007, the Company recognized approximately $25,282 and $50,564 in potential interest associated with uncertain tax positions.  At February 4, 2007, the Company has recorded approximately $734,000 for the payment of interest and penalties, which is included in the $7,126,000 unrecognized tax benefit noted above.

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140” (SFAS No. 155). SFAS No. 155 simplifies accounting for certain hybrid instruments currently governed by SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” or SFAS No. 133, by allowing fair value remeasurement of hybrid instruments that contain an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation. SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued in fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. The Company adopted this standard on February 4, 2007, which did not affect our financial statements.

6




In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (SFAS No. 156). SFAS No. 156 amends SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities,” with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. SFAS No. 156 is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. The Company adopted this standard on February 4, 2007, which did not affect our financial statements.

In June of 2006, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 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 Company presents sales, net of sales taxes, in its consolidated statement of operations and the adoption of this EITF did not affect our financial statements.

To be adopted:

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS No. 157). SFAS No. 157 defines the term fair value, establishes a framework for measuring it within generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about its measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 157 on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 159 on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2007, the EITF reached a consensus on Issue Number 06-10, “Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Collateral Assignment Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements,” (EITF 06-10). EITF 06-10 provides guidance to help companies determine whether a liability for the postretirement benefit associated with a collateral assignment split-dollar life insurance arrangement should be recorded in accordance with either SFAS No. 106, “Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions” (if, in substance, a postretirement benefit plan exists), or Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 12 (if the arrangement is, in substance, an individual deferred compensation contract). EITF 06-10 also provides guidance on how a company should recognize and measure the asset in a collateral assignment split-dollar life insurance contract. EITF 06-10 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007, although early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of EITF 06-10 on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2007, the FASB ratified EITF Issue Number 06-11, “Accounting for Income Tax Benefits of Dividends on Share-Based Payment Awards” (EITF 06-11). EITF 06-11 applies to share-based payment arrangements with dividend protection features that entitle employees to receive (a) dividends on equity-classified nonvested shares, (b) dividend equivalents on equity-classified nonvested share units, or (c) payments equal to the dividends paid on the underlying shares while an equity-classified share option is outstanding, when those dividends or dividend equivalents are charged to retained earnings under SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment”, and result in an income tax deduction for the employer. A consensus was reached that a realized income tax benefit from dividends or dividend equivalents that are charged to retained earnings and are paid to employees for equity-classified non-vested equity shares, non-vested equity share units, and outstanding equity share options should be recognized as an increase in additional paid-in capital. EITF 06-11 is effective prospectively for the income tax benefits that result from dividends on equity-classified employee share-based payment awards that are declared in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impact of EITF 06-11 on our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3. Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has stock-based compensation plans, under which it grants stock options and restricted stock units to key employees and members of its Board of Directors. Generally, new stock option grants vest over a four-year period, with one-fifth vesting on each of the grant date and the next four anniversaries thereof and have an expiration date of seven years.  Generally, new restricted stock unit grants vest over a four-year period, with one-fourth vesting on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date. During the second quarter ended August 4, 2007, we granted 25,000 stock options with a weighted average fair value of $8.28 per option and 48,000 restricted stock units with a weighted average fair value of $20.93 per unit.

In accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), we recognize compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. We recognized $1,663,000 and $570,000 of stock-based compensation expense during the thirteen weeks

7




ended August 4, 2007 and July 29, 2006, respectively, and $6,053,000 and $1,718,000 of stock-based compensation expense during the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2007 and July 29, 2006, respectively.

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 $599,197,000 and $593,265,000 as of August 4, 2007 and February 3, 2007, respectively.

The Company establishes reserves for estimated inventory shrink based on historical accuracy and effectiveness of its cycle counting program.

The Company also records valuation adjustments (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 $14,736,000 and $13,462,000 at August 4, 2007 and February 3, 2007, respectively.

NOTE 5. Other Current Assets

The Company’s other current assets as of August 4, 2007 and February 3, 2007, respectively, were as follows:

The Company has risk participation arrangements with respect to workers’ compensation, general liability, automobile liability, other casualty coverages, and employee-related health care benefits, including the maintaining of stop loss coverage with third party insurers to limit our total exposure.  The Company has a wholly owned captive insurance subsidiary through which it reinsures this retained exposure.  This subsidiary use both risk sharing pools and third party insurance to manage this exposure.  The Company records both liabilities and reinsurance receivables using actuarial methods followed in the insurance industry and our historical claims experience.

NOTE 6. Discontinued Operations

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, our discontinued operations continues to reflect the costs associated with the stores remaining from the 33 stores closed on July 31, 2003 as part of our corporate restructuring. The remaining reserve balance is not material.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2006, we sold a store that we have leased back and will continue to operate. 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 classified into discontinued operations during the third quarter of fiscal 2005, in accordance with SFAS No. 144 and EITF No. 03-13.

At August 4, 2007 and July 29, 2006, respectively, there were 3,620,000 and 3,241,000 outstanding options and restricted stock units. 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 and therefore would be anti-dilutive. The total numbers of such shares excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation are 980,000 and 2,976,000 for the thirteen weeks ended August 4, 2007 and July 29, 2006, respectively. The total numbers of such shares excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation are 1,059,000 and 2,898,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2007 and July 29, 2006, respectively.

NOTE 12. Contingencies

During the fourth quarter of 2006 and first quarter of 2007, the Company was served with four separate lawsuits brought by former associates employed in California, each of which lawsuits purports to be a class action on behalf of all current and former California store associates.  One or more of the lawsuits claim that the plaintiff was not paid for (i) overtime, (ii) accrued vacation time, (iii) all time worked (i.e. “off the clock” work) and/or (iv) late or missed meal periods or rest breaks.   The plaintiffs also allege that the Company violated certain record keeping requirements arising out of the foregoing alleged violations.  The lawsuits (i) claim these alleged practices are unfair business practices, (ii) request back pay, restitution, penalties, interest and attorney fees and (iii) request that the Company be enjoined from committing further unfair business practices. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to all of these claims and intends to defend these claims vigorously. The resolution of these claims cannot be predicted and there is no reasonable estimate of the amount or range potential loss.  Accordingly, the Company has not recorded any provision for loss associated with these claims.  However, an adverse determination of these claims could have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations and cash flows in the period(s) during which they are determined.

The Company is also party to various actions and claims arising in the normal course of business. The Company believes that amounts accrued for awards or assessments in connection with such matters are adequate and that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 14. Interest Rate Swap Agreements

On June 3, 2003, the Company entered into an interest rate swap which was designated as a cash flow hedge of the Company’s real estate operating lease payments. During the fourth quarter 2006, the Company removed the designation as a cash flow hedge and records the change in fair value of the swap through the operating statement through its termination date on July 1, 2008. During the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2007, a $1,648,000 expense was recorded in cost of merchandise sales for the change in fair value of this swap.

On November 2, 2006, the Company entered into an interest rate swap for a notional amount of $200,000,000. The Company has designated the swap a cash flow hedge on the first $200,000,000 of the Company’s $320,000,000 senior secured notes. The interest rate swap converts the variable LIBOR portion of the interest payments to a fixed rate of 5.036% and terminates in October 2013. The Company, from inception through April 8, 2007, reflected the change in fair value in Interest Expense. The Company documented that the swap met the requirements of SFAS No. 133 for hedge accounting on April 9, 2007, and prospectively recorded the effective portion of the change in fair value of the swap through Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss. During the period from February 4, 2007 through April 8, 2007, a $974,000 expense was recorded in interest expense for the change in fair value of this swap.

As of August 4, 2007 and February 3, 2007, the fair values of the interest rate swaps were $3,691,000 and $5,522,000, respectively.  $791,000 ($717,000, net of tax) of the $1,831,000 decline in fair value was included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

NOTE 15. Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements

Subsequent to the issuance of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2007, the Company determined that certain information presented in the condensed consolidating balance sheets as of February 3, 2007 and January 28, 2006 and the related condensed consolidating statements of operations and cash flows for each of three years in the period ended February 3, 2007, presented in the supplemental guarantor information note contained errors.  The errors resulted from (i) the failure to correctly record consolidating intercompany journal entries between the Company (Pep Boys) and Subsidiary Guarantors (ii) the failure to correctly record certain reclassification entries to intercompany receivables and liabilities and (iii) the failure to consolidate PBY Corporation’s wholly owned subsidiary, Pep Boys Manny Moe & Jack of California in the Subsidiary Guarantors column.  The Company corrected the errors and restated the condensed consolidating balance sheet of February 3, 2007, the condensed consolidating statements of operation for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2006 and the condensed consolidating statement of cash flows for the twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2006 included in Note 11.  The corrections did not affect the Company’s previously reported Consolidated Balance Sheets, Statements of Operations or Statements of Cash Flows.

The following table reflects the effects of the restatement on the condensed consolidating financial statements as of February 3, 2007 and for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2006:

Additionally, the Company incorrectly presented borrowings and payments under its line of credit agreements and vendor financing trade payable program on a net basis instead of a gross basis in the financing activities section of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for each of the three years in the period ended February 3, 2007. Such presentation in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2006, has been restated to separately present its borrowings and payments. The corrections did not affect the Company’s previously reported net cash used in financing activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for any period presented.

Also, see Item 5 “Other Information” for further discussion of the affect of the restatement on previously issued financial statements.

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

The discussion and analysis below should be read in conjunction with (i) the condensed consolidated interim financial statements and the notes to such financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and (ii) the consolidated 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 February 3, 2007.

OVERVIEW

The Pep Boys - Manny, Moe & Jack is a leader in the automotive aftermarket with 592 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 August 4, 2007, our comparable sales (sales generated by locations in operation during the same period) decreased by 3.6% compared to an increase of 0.4% for the thirteen weeks ended July 29, 2006. This decrease in comparable sales consisted of a 5.1% decrease in comparable merchandise sales which was partially offset by a 3.8% increase in comparable service revenue. Comparable merchandise sales declined primarily due to the elimination of commercial delivery in fifty-five locations and fewer promotional offerings, while comparable service revenues were driven by an increased focus of the Company’s advertising to service offerings and opportunistic pricing initiatives.

Our net earnings for the second quarter of 2007 were $4,179,000 or $2,827,000 higher than the $1,352,000 net earnings for the second quarter of 2006. This increase in profitability was primarily due to improved service revenue margins and expense control initiatives, which were partially offset by fewer asset sales.

The following discussion explains the material changes in our results of operations for the thirteen (second quarter) and twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2007 and the significant developments affecting our financial condition since February 3, 2007. We strongly recommend that you read the audited consolidated 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 February 3, 2007.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES – August 4, 2007

Our cash requirements arise principally from the purchase of inventory and capital expenditures related to existing stores, offices and warehouses and information systems. The capital expenditures for the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2007 were primarily for store maintenance and improvements. During the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2007, we invested approximately $18,345,000 in property and equipment versus $16,123,000 invested in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. We estimate that capital expenditures related to existing stores, warehouses and offices and information systems during fiscal 2007 will be approximately $45,000,000 to $55,000,000.

During the second quarter of 2007, we received $26,129,000 from the surrender of certain company-owned life insurance policies. The proceeds from the surrender of these non-core assets were used to repay borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility. In fiscal 2006, the Company received $6,981,000 from the sale of one of its 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 in fiscal 2007. We have no material debt maturities due within the next twelve months.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2007, we completed a valuation of our owned store and distribution center properties.  We plan to begin to monetize a portion of these assets during the second half of fiscal 2007 through sale/leaseback transactions, with the initial use of proceeds expected to be the repayment of debt.

Working Capital increased from $163,960,000 at February 3, 2007 to $197,436,000 at August 4, 2007. At August 4, 2007, we had stockholders’ equity of $528,873,000 and long-term debt, net of current maturities, of $548,882,000. Our long-term debt was approximately 51% of our total capitalization at August 4, 2007 and 49% at February 3,

19




2007. As of August 4, 2007, we had further undrawn availability under our revolving credit facility totaling $174,000,000.

On June 29, 2007, the Company entered into a new $65,000,000 vendor financing program with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association that will replace our previous $20,000,000 vendor financing program once the final scheduled payments factored under this program are made in December 2007. Under these programs, 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 August 4, 2007, the Company had an outstanding balance of $13,016,000 under these programs, classified as trade payable program liability in the consolidated balance sheet.

For the thirteen weeks ended August 4, 2007, the Company contributed $300,000 of an anticipated $3,300,000 aggregate contribution during fiscal 2007, to its non-qualified defined benefit pension plan.

(3) The contractual obligations table excludes the Company’s FIN 48 liabilities of $3,037,000 because the Company cannot make a reliable estimate of the timing of the related cash payments.

(1) Our open purchase orders are based on current inventory or operational needs and are fulfilled by our vendors within short periods of time. We currently do not have minimum purchase commitments under our vendor supply agreements and generally our open purchase orders (orders that have not been shipped) are not binding agreements. Those purchase obligations that are in transit from our vendors at August 4, 2007 are considered to be a contractual obligation.

(2) 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 $950,000 per year, while the final year’s commitment is approximately half that amount. Following year two, we are obligated to pay the vendor a per unit fee if there is a shortfall between our cumulative purchases during the two year period and the minimum purchase requirement. For years three through six, we are obligated to pay the vendor a per unit fee for any annual shortfall. The maximum annual obligation under any shortfall is approximately $950,000. At August 4, 2007, we expect to meet the cumulative minimum purchase requirements under this contract. Accordingly, no amounts attributable to this contractual commitment are included in the table.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, our discontinued operations continues to reflect the costs associated with the stores remaining from the 33 stores closed on July 31, 2003 as part of our corporate restructuring. The remaining reserve balance is immaterial.

20




During the second quarter of fiscal 2006, we sold a store that we leased back and continue to operate. 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 classified into discontinued operations during the third quarter of fiscal 2005, in accordance with SFAS No. 144 and EITF No. 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 Earnings from Continuing Operations Before Income Taxes and Cumulative Effect of Change in Accounting Principle.

NM: Not Meaningful

Total revenues for the second quarter decreased 3.4%, with a 3.6% comparable revenues decrease, resulting primarily from a decline in retail and commercial merchandise sales. Comparable merchandise sales decreased 5.1%, while comparable service revenue increased 3.8%. The decline in merchandise sales was due primarily to the removal of commercial delivery from fifty-five stores and fewer promotional offerings. Service revenues were driven by an increased focus of the Company’s advertising to service offerings and opportunistic retail price increases.

While gross profit from merchandise sales was $354,000 lower in fiscal 2007 than in fiscal 2006, gross profit as a percentage of merchandise sales increased to 30.3% in fiscal 2007 from 28.9% in fiscal 2006. This product margin improvement resulted primarily from improved merchandise acquisition costs, sales of a more favorable (higher gross margin) mix of merchandise and opportunistic pricing initiatives.

Gross profit from service revenue increased, as a percentage of service revenue to 11.3% in fiscal 2007 from 6.2% in fiscal 2006. This was a 90.1% or $5,390,000 increase from the prior year. This increase, as a percentage of service revenue, was due primarily to increased leverage of fixed expenses, lower employee benefit expenses and favorable workers compensation experience.

Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of total revenues, were 23.8% and 24.1% in fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006, respectively. This 4.8% or $6,699,000 decrease from the prior year resulted primarily from lower payroll and improving workers compensation experience. Fiscal year 2007 reflects $800,000 in outsourcing-related severance charges while fiscal year 2006 reflects a $2,100,000 favorable litigation settlement, a $1,100,000 severance charge for the Company’s former CEO and $1,400,000 in strategic review costs.

Net (loss) gain from dispositions of assets decreased from the prior year, as no stores were sold in the second quarter of fiscal 2007. A $6,329,000 gain resulting from a store sale was recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2006.

Income tax expense for the second quarter of 2007 reflects a $4,227,000 tax benefit resulting from the favorable settlement of a previously uncertain tax position, which was partially offset by higher annual tax rate as a result of a taxable gain on the surrender of certain company-owned life insurance policies.

Net earnings of  $4,179,000 for the second quarter, improved $2,827,000 from the prior year primarily due to improved service revenue margins and lower selling, general and administrative expenses, which were partially offset by fewer asset sales.

NM: Not Meaningful

Total revenues for the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 2007 decreased 2.7%, with a 3.0% comparable revenues decrease, resulting primarily from a decline in retail and commercial merchandise sales. Comparable merchandise sales decreased 4.1%, while comparable service revenue increased 2.6%. The decline in merchandise sales was primarily due to the removal of commercial delivery from fifty-five stores and fewer promotional offerings.

Gross profit as a percentage of merchandise sales increased to 29.7% in fiscal 2007 from 28.4% in fiscal 2006. This was a 0.6% or $1,604,000 increase from the prior year. This increase resulted primarily from improved merchandise acquisition costs, favorable (higher gross margin)  mix of merchandise, opportunistic retail price increases and a $1,300,000 gain on the settlement of an inventory insurance claim resulting from Hurricane Katrina.

Gross profit from service revenue increased, as a percentage of service revenue to 11.6% in fiscal 2007 from 8.7% in fiscal 2006. This was a 37.1% or $6,346,000 increase from the prior year. This increase, as a percentage of service revenue, was due primarily to increased leverage of fixed expenses.

Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of total revenues, were 23.6% and 23.9% in fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006, respectively. This 3.6% or $9,848,000 decrease from the prior year resulted primarily from lower store payroll and employee benefits costs, favorable workers compensation experience and reduced media expense. Fiscal year 2007 reflects a $3,900,000 CEO transition charge and $800,000 in outsourcing-related severance charges, while fiscal year 2006 reflects a $2,300,000 favorable insurance settlement, a $2,100,000 favorable litigation settlement, a $1,100,000 severance charge for the Company’s former CEO and $2,775,000 in strategic review costs.

Net gain from dispositions of assets decreased $3,672,000 from the prior year. While no stores were sold in fiscal 2007, the Company did record a $2,400,000 gain due to the settlement of an insurance claim relating to stores impaired during Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Fiscal 2006 reflects a $6,329,000 gain from the sale of a store recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2006.

Interest expense increased $2,682,000 due to an increase in the Company’s weighted average interest rate and higher debt levels.

Net earnings improved by $6,705,000 from the prior fiscal year, primarily due to improved service revenue margins and lower selling, general and administrative expenses, which were partially offset by fewer asset sales and higher interest expense.

INDUSTRY COMPARISON

We operate in the U.S. automotive aftermarket, which has two general competitive arenas: 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 we manage our store performance at a store level in aggregation, we believe that the following presentation shows a representative 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 TO BE ADOPTED

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS No. 157). SFAS No. 157 defines the term fair value, establishes a framework for measuring it within generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about its measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 157 on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 159 on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2007, the EITF reached a consensus on Issue Number 06-10, “Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Collateral Assignment Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements,” (EITF 06-10). EITF 06-10 provides guidance to help companies determine whether a liability for the postretirement benefit associated with a collateral assignment split-dollar life insurance arrangement should be recorded in accordance with either SFAS No. 106, “Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions” (if, in substance, a postretirement benefit plan exists), or Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 12 (if the arrangement is, in substance, an individual deferred compensation contract). EITF 06-10 also provides guidance on how a company should recognize and measure the asset in a collateral assignment split-dollar life insurance contract. EITF 06-10 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007, although early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of EITF 06-10 on our consolidated financial statements.

24




In June 2007, the FASB ratified EITF Issue Number 06-11, “Accounting for Income Tax Benefits of Dividends on Share-Based Payment Awards” (EITF 06-11). EITF 06-11 applies to share-based payment arrangements with dividend protection features that entitle employees to receive (a) dividends on equity-classified nonvested shares, (b) dividend equivalents on equity-classified nonvested share units, or (c) payments equal to the dividends paid on the underlying shares while an equity-classified share option is outstanding, when those dividends or dividend equivalents are charged to retained earnings under SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment”, and result in an income tax deduction for the employer. A consensus was reached that a realized income tax benefit from dividends or dividend equivalents that are charged to retained earnings and are paid to employees for equity-classified non-vested equity shares, non-vested equity share units, and outstanding equity share options should be recognized as an increase in additional paid-in capital. EITF 06-11 is effective prospectively for the income tax benefits that result from dividends on equity-classified employee share-based payment awards that are declared in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impact of EITF 06-11 on our consolidated financial statements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses our condensed 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 condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Additionally, the Company estimates its 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 fiscal year ended February 3, 2007, 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’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 LIBOR could affect the rates at which the Company could borrow funds thereunder. At August 4, 2007, the Company had borrowings of $33,155,000 under this facility. Additionally, the Company has a $318,400,000 Senior Secured Term Loan facility that bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.0%, and approximately $116,505,000 of real estate operating leases which vary based on changes in LIBOR.

25




On June 3, 2003, we entered into an interest rate swap which was designated as a cash flow hedge of the Company’s real estate operating lease payments. During the fourth quarter 2006, we removed the designation as a cash flow hedge and will record the change in fair value through the operating statement until its termination date on July 1, 2008. During the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2007, a $648,000 expense was recorded in cost of merchandise sales for the change in fair value of this swap.

On November 2, 2006, the Company entered into an interest rate swap for a notional amount of $200,000,000. The Company has designated the swap a cash flow hedge on the first $200,000,000 of the Company’s $320,000,000 senior secured notes. The interest rate swap converts the variable LIBOR portion of the interest payments to a fixed rate of 5.036% and terminates in October 2013. The Company, from inception through April 8, 2007, reflected the change in fair value in Interest Expense. The Company documented that the swap met the requirements of SFAS No. 133 for hedge accounting on April 9, 2007, and prospectively recorded the effective portion of the change in fair value through Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss. During the period from February 4, 2007 through April 8, 2007, a $974,000 expense was recorded in interest expense for the change in fair value of this swap.

As of August 4, 2007 and February 3, 2007, the fair values of the interest rate swaps were $3,691,000 and $5,522,000, respectively.  $791,000 ($717,000, net of tax) of the $1,831,000 decline in fair value was included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss on the consolidated balance sheet.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")) 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 were not 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 solely due to the fact that there was a material weakness in one of our internal controls over financial reporting (which are a subset of disclosure controls and procedures) as described below.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

During the fiscal quarter covered by this report, a change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting occurred that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting in that the Company determined it had a material weakness in its financial reporting control related to preparation and review of the Company’s supplemental guarantor information footnote and consolidated statement of cash flows presentation resulting from the errors described in Notes 11 and 15.   

Other than described above, there was 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.

Item 5.  Other Information

As indicated in Notes 11 and 15, in preparing this Form 10-Q for the fiscal period ended August 4, 2007, errors were identified relating to our supplemental guarantor information note and the presentation of the certain line items line in the financing section of the consolidated statement of cash flows. Accordingly, this Form 10-Q includes restated financial information for prior periods. These same errors also exist in the previously issued Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2007 and Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended May 5, 2007.

The Company will file as soon as reasonably practicable a Form 10-K/A (“Form 10-K/A”) for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2007 for the purpose of correcting its Supplemental Guarantor Information Note as it relates to the condensed consolidating financial statements of Pep Boys (parent corporation) and its Subsidiary Guarantors.  The Form 10-K/A will also include corrections for the other errors.  The Company will file contemporaneously with the Form 10-K/A, a Form 10-Q/A for the fiscal quarter ended May 5, 2007 to correct such errors.

Such errors have no impact, for any previously completed period, on the Company’s (i) consolidated balance sheets, (ii) consolidated statements of operations, (ii) net cash flows from operating activities, investing activities or financing activities included in the consolidated statements of cash flows or (iii) the balance sheets, statements of operations or statements of cash flows for the Non-Subsidiary Guarantors or the Consolidated entities, which are included in “NOTE 8-SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR INFORMATION” to the Form 10-K for the year ended February 3, 2007.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

During the fourth quarter of 2006 and the first quarter of 2007, the Company was served with four separate lawsuits brought by former associates employed in California, each of which lawsuits purports to be a class action on behalf of all current and former California store associates.  One or more of the lawsuits claim that the plaintiff was not paid for (i) overtime, (ii) accrued vacation time, (iii) all time worked (i.e. “off the clock” work) and/or (iv) late or missed meal periods or rest breaks.   The plaintiffs also allege that the Company violated certain record keeping requirements arising out of the foregoing alleged violations.  The lawsuits (i) claim these alleged practices are unfair business practices, (ii) request back pay, restitution, penalties, interest and attorney fees and (iii) request that the Company be enjoined from committing further unfair business practices. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to all of these claims and intends to defend these claims vigorously.   However, an adverse

27




determination of these claims could have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations in the period(s) during which they are determined.

The Company is also party to various actions and claims arising in the normal course of business. The Company believes that amounts accrued for awards or assessments in connection with such matters are adequate and that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors

There have been no changes to the risks described in the Company’s previously filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2007.

Exhibit 10.1

THE PEP BOYS –
MANNY, MOE & JACK PENSION PLAN

AMENDMENT 2007-1

Pursuant to the authority reserved to it under Section 8.2 of The Pep Boys – Manny, Moe & Jack Pension Plan (the “Pension Plan”), the Administrative Committee for the Pension Plan (the “Committee”) hereby amends the Pension Plan as follows:

1.                                       Effective January 1, 2007, paragraph (c) under the definition of “Actuarial Equivalent(ce) or Actuarially Equivalent” in Section 2.1 of the Plan is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

“(c)         For periods prior to January 1, 2007, except as provided in the following paragraph, for conversions under Section 4.6(b), for optional forms paid according to Section 4.6(e), early retirement under Section 4.3, conversions with respect to annuity payments made pursuant to qualified domestic relations orders and adjustments under Sections 9.4 and 9.4A(b)(2)(B)(i)(B), the UP-1984 Table of Mortality at 7½ percent interest, shall be used. For purposes of establishing present value for Top-Heavy determinations, interest at 7½ percent shall be used and the UP-1984 Table of Mortality.

Effective January 1, 2007, for conversions under Section 4.6(b), for optional forms paid according to Section 4.6(e), early retirement under Section 4.3, conversions with respect to annuity payments made pursuant to qualified domestic relations orders and adjustments under Sections 9.4 and 9.4A(b)(2)(B)(i)(B), the UP-1994 Mortality Table projected to 2002 using Scale AA (blended 50% male, 50% female; without adjustment collar) at 7½ percent interest, shall be used.  For purposes of establishing present value for Top-Heavy determinations, interest at 7½ percent and the UP-1994 Mortality Table projected to 2002 using Scale AA (blended 50% male, 50% female; without adjustment collar)) shall be used.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the benefit determined under this paragraph shall not be less than the benefit determined under the first paragraph of this subsection (c) as of December 31, 2006.”

2.                                       Effective January 1, 2007, Section 4.6(c) is amended so that the terms “90 days” are replaced with “180 days.”

3.                                       Effective January 1, 2007, Section 4.6(e)(3) of the Plan is redesignated Section 4.6(e)(4) and a new Section 4.6(e)(3) is hereby added to the Plan to read as follows:

“(3)         75% Joint and Survivor Annuity.  A married Participant or Former Participant may elect to have his pension paid in the form of a 75% joint and survivor annuity, which shall be the Actuarial Equivalent of the normal form for single Participants described in Section 4.6(a) payable for life to the Participant or Former Participant and, thereafter, for the life of the Participant’s or Former Participant’s Surviving Spouse in an amount equal to 75% of the amount that was payable to the Participant or Former Participant.”




4.                                       Effective January 1, 2007, Section 9.4A(b)(2)(B) of the Plan is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

“(B)         If the benefit of a Participant begins prior to age 62, the defined benefit dollar limitation applicable to the Participant at such earlier age is an annual benefit payable in the form of a straight life annuity beginning at the earlier age that is the actuarial equivalent of the defined benefit dollar limitation applicable to the Participant at age 62 (adjusted under (a) above, if required). The defined benefit dollar limitation applicable at an age prior to age 62 is determined as the lesser of (i) the actuarial equivalent (at such age) of the defined benefit dollar limitation computed using (A) an interest rate of 7 1/2%; and (B) the applicable mortality table described in paragraph (c) under the definition of “Actuarial Equivalent(ce) or Actuarially Equivalent” in Section 2.1; and (ii) the actuarial equivalent (at such age) of the defined benefit dollar limitation computed using (A) a 5% interest rate; and (B) the applicable mortality table as defined in Section 2.1, paragraph (e) of the definition of “Actuarial Equivalent(ce) or Actuarially Equivalent” under the heading “Mortality Table for 415 and 417(e) Purposes For Annuity Starting Dates On Or After December 31, 2002”, or the applicable mortality table under Section 417(e)(3) of the Code and Treas. Reg. Section 1.417(e)-1T(d)(2) (as set forth in paragraph (b) of the definition of “Actuarial Equivalence”) for Annuity Starting Dates prior to December 31, 2002. Any decrease in the defined benefit dollar limitation determined in accordance with this subparagraph (B) shall not reflect a mortality decrement if benefits are not forfeited upon the death of the Participant. If any benefits are forfeited upon death, the full mortality decrement is taken into account.”

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, and as evidence of the adoption of the amendment set forth herein, the Committee has caused this instrument to be executed this       day of                 , 2007.
