NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The Pep Boys — Manny, Moe & Jack and subsidiaries’ (the “Company”) consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales, costs and expenses, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and other related disclosures. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of the Company’s assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and the Company includes any revisions to its estimates in the results for the period in which the actual amounts become known.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been 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 consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2014. The results of operations for the thirty-nine weeks ended November 1, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year.

The consolidated financial statements presented herein are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of November 1, 2014 and for all periods presented have been made.

                The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest to January 31. Fiscal 2014, which ends January 31, 2015, and Fiscal 2013, which ended February 1, 2014, are comprised of 52 weeks. The Company operated 802 store locations as of November 1, 2014, of which 226 were owned and 576 were leased.
