Portions of the registrant’s definitive proxy statement, which will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Regulation 14A not later than 120 days after the end of the Company’s fiscal year, for the Company’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders presently scheduled to be held on June 2, 2004 are incorporated by reference into Part III of this Form 10-K.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

As previously disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K dated January 31, 2005, on January 30, 2005, our Board of Directors, including our Audit Committee, concluded to restate the Company’s financial statements for the three year period ended January 31, 2004 and for the first three quarters of fiscal 2004.

Historically, when accounting for leases with renewal options, we depreciated our leasehold improvements on those leased properties over a period that included both the initial lease term and all option periods (or the useful lives of the assets, if shorter). We previously recorded rent expense on a straight-line basis over the initial lease term commencing when actual rent payments began. We, in consultation with our independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte and Touche, LLP, have now determined to use a consistent lease period (generally, the initial lease term) when calculating depreciation of leasehold improvements on leased properties and straight-line rent expense. Straight-line rent expense will commence on the date when we become legally obligated under the lease.

These non-cash adjustments, which are similar to those recently announced by several restaurant and retail companies, will not have any impact on our previously reported cash flows, sales, comparable sales or our compliance with any financial covenant under our revolving credit facility or other debt instruments.

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (“Form 10-K/A”) to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2004, initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 15, 2004 (the “Original Filing”), is being filed to reflect restatements of (i) the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at January 31, 2004 and February 1, 2003 and (ii) the Company’s consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2004, February 1, 2003 and February 2, 2002, and the notes related thereto. For a more detailed description of these restatements, see Note 2, “Restatement of Financial Statements,” to the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements and the section entitled “Restatement” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in this Form 10-K/A.

For the convenience of the reader, this Form 10-K/A sets forth the Original Filing in its entirety. However, this Form 10-K/A only amends and restates Items 6, 7, 8, 9A and the Quarterly financial data of Part II and Exhibit 12 of Item 15 of Part IV of the Original Filing, in each case, solely as a result of, and to reflect the Restatement, and no other information in the original filing is amended hereby. The foregoing items have not been updated to reflect other events occurring after the Original Filing or to modify or update those disclosures affected by subsequent events. In addition, pursuant to the rules of the SEC, Item 15 of Part IV of the Original Filing has been amended to contain the consent of our independent registered public accounting firm and currently-dated certifications from our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The consent of the independent registered public accounting firm and the certifications of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are attached to this Form 10-K/A as exhibits 23, 31.1, 31.2, 32.1 and 32.2 respectively.

Except for the foregoing amended information, this Form 10-K/A continues to describe conditions as of the date of the Original Filing, and we have not updated the disclosures contained herein to reflect events that occurred at a later date. Other events occurring after the filing of the Original Filing or other disclosures necessary to reflect subsequent events have been or will be addressed in our amended Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the quarterly periods ended May 1, 2004, July 31, 2004 and October 30, 2004 which are being filed concurrently with the filing of this Form 10-K/A and any reports filed with the SEC subsequent to the date of this filing.

We have not amended and do not intend to amend our previously-filed Annual Reports on Form 10-K or our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods affected by the Restatement that ended prior to January 31, 2004. For this reason, the consolidated financial statements, auditors’ reports and related financial information for the affected periods contained in such reports should no longer be relied upon.

PART I

ITEM 1 BUSINESS

GENERAL

The Pep Boys—Manny, Moe & Jack and subsidiaries (the “Company”) is a leading automotive retail and service chain. The Company operates in one industry, the automotive aftermarket. The Company is engaged principally in the retail sale of automotive parts, tires and accessories, automotive repairs and maintenance and the installation of parts. The Company’s primary operating unit is its SUPERCENTER format. As of January 31, 2004, the Company operated 595 stores consisting of 584 SUPERCENTERS and one SERVICE & TIRE CENTER, having an aggregate of 6,181 service bays, as well as 10 non-service/non-tire format PEP BOYS EXPRESS stores. The Company operates approximately 12,207,000 gross square feet of retail space, including service bays. The SUPERCENTERS average approximately 20,700 square feet and the 10 PEP BOYS EXPRESS stores average approximately 9,700 square feet. The Company believes that its unique SUPERCENTER format offers the broadest capabilities in the industry and positions the Company to gain market share and increase its profitability by serving “do-it-yourself” (retail) and “do-it-for-me” (service labor, installed merchandise and tires) customers with the highest quality merchandise and service offerings.

As of January 31, 2004 the Company operated its stores in 36 states and Puerto Rico. The following table indicates, by state, the number of stores of the Company had in operation at the end of fiscal 2001, 2002 and 2003 and the number of stores opened and closed by the Company during each of the last three fiscal years:

DEVELOPMENT

The Company’s primary focus in fiscal 2003 was improving the performance of its existing stores. As a result, the Company closed 33 under-performing stores on July 31, 2003. The Company believes this action will strengthen the remaining stores by allowing it to focus its energies and resources toward the more profitable stores.

In fiscal 2004, the Company plans to continue to focus much of its energy on improving the performance of its existing stores. The Company anticipates spending approximately $55,815,000 in connection with maintaining and improving its stores. During fiscal 2004, the Company will begin its store redesign plan on a market-by-market basis in order to better link its retail and service businesses, to promote cross-selling and improve the overall customer experience. This redesign plan is expected to be completed by the end of fiscal 2007. The Company expects to fund the redesign plan from net cash generated from operating activities, its existing line of credit and a portion of the proceeds from its March 24, 2004 sale of 4,646,464 shares of common stock.

PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

Each Pep Boys SUPERCENTER and PEP BOYS EXPRESS store carries a similar product line, with variations based on the number and type of cars registered in the markets where the store is located. A full complement of inventory at a typical SUPERCENTER includes an average of approximately 23,000 items (approximately 22,000 items at a PEP BOYS EXPRESS store). The Company’s automotive product line includes: tires (not stocked at PEP BOYS EXPRESS stores); batteries; new and remanufactured parts for domestic and import vehicles; chemicals and maintenance items; fashion, electronic, and performance accessories; personal transportation merchandise; and garage and repair shop merchandise.

In addition to offering a wide variety of high quality name brand products, the Company sells an array of high quality products under various private label names. The Company sells tires under the names CORNELL® and FUTURA®; and batteries under the name PROSTART®. The Company also sells wheel covers under the name FUTURA®; water pumps and cooling system parts under the name PROCOOL®; air filters, anti-freeze, chemicals, cv axles, lubricants, oil, oil filters, oil treatments, transmission fluids and wiper blades under the name PROLINE®; shock absorbers under the name PRO RYDER®; alternators, battery booster packs and starters under the name PROSTART®; power steering hoses and power steering pumps under the name PROSTEERTM; brakes under the name PROSTOP®; temperature gauges under the name PROTEMP®; and paints under the name VARSITY®. All products sold by the Company under various private label names accounted for approximately 33% of the Company’s merchandise sales in fiscal 2003 and 2002 and approximately 34% in fiscal 2001. Revenues from the sale of tires accounted for approximately 16% of the Company’s total revenues in fiscal years 2003 and 2002 and 17% in fiscal 2001. No other class of products accounted for as much as 10% of the Company’s total revenues.

The Company has service bays in 585 of its 595 locations. While each service department has the ability to perform virtually all types of automotive service (except body work), the Company is in the process of sharpening its focus on the most profitable maintenance services. Revenues from maintaining or repairing automobiles and installing products (exclusive of the product) accounted for approximately 19.0%, 19.1% and 19.1% of the Company’s total revenues from continuing operations in fiscal years 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

The Company’s commercial automotive parts delivery program, branded PEP EXPRESS PARTS®, is designed to increase the Company’s market share with the professional installer and to leverage its inventory investment. The program satisfies the installed merchandise customer by taking advantage of the breadth and quality of its parts inventory as well as its experience supplying its own service bays and mechanics. As of January 31, 2004, 484, or approximately 81%, of the Company’s stores provide commercial parts delivery.

The Company has a point-of-sale system in all of its stores which gathers sales and gross profit data by stock-keeping unit from each store on a daily basis. This information is then used by the Company to help formulate its pricing, marketing and merchandising strategies. The Company has an electronic parts catalog and an electronic commercial invoicing system in all of its stores. The Company has an electronic work order system in all of its service centers. This system creates a service history for each vehicle, provides customers with a comprehensive sales document and enables the Company to maintain a service customer database.

The Company primarily uses an “Everyday Low Price” (EDLP) strategy in establishing its selling prices. Management believes that EDLP provides better value to its customers on a day-to-day basis, helps level customer demand and allows more efficient management of inventories. On a weekly basis, the Company employs a promotional pricing strategy on select items to drive increased customer traffic.

The Company uses various forms of advertising to promote its category-dominant product offering, its state-of-the-art service and repair capabilities and its commitment to customer service and satisfaction. The Company is committed to an effective promotional schedule with a weekly circular program, extra-effort promotions supported by ROP (Run of Paper) and radio and television advertising during highly seasonal times of the year and various in-store promotions. The Company uses a substantial amount of vendor co-op funds in support of its advertising program.

In fiscal 2003, approximately 47% of the Company’s total revenues were cash transactions (including personal checks) with the remainder being credit and debit card transactions and commercial credit accounts.

The Company does not experience significant seasonal fluctuation in the generation of its revenues.

STORE OPERATIONS AND MANAGEMENT

All Pep Boys stores are open seven days a week. Each SUPERCENTER generally has a manager, a service manager and one or more assistant managers. Each PEP BOYS EXPRESS store has a manager and one or more assistant managers. Stores with the PEP EXPRESS PARTS program have a commercial sales manager in addition to the management previously mentioned. A store manager’s average length of service with the Company is approximately eight years.

The Company coordinates the operation and merchandising of each store through a network of area directors. The area directors report to the Company’s one of six divisional Vice Presidents, each of who reports to the Company’s Senior Vice President—Store Operations, who reports to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Supervision and control over the individual stores are facilitated by means of the Company’s computer system, operational handbooks and regular visits to the individual stores by the divisional Vice Presidents, area directors and loss prevention personnel.

All of the Company’s advertising, accounting, purchasing, management information systems, and most of its administrative functions are conducted at its corporate headquarters in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Certain administrative functions for the Company’s western, southwestern, southeastern, mid-western and Puerto Rican operations are performed at various regional offices of the Company. See “Properties.”

INVENTORY CONTROL AND DISTRIBUTION

Most of the Company’s merchandise is distributed to its stores from its warehouses primarily by dedicated and contract carriers. Target levels of inventory for each product have been established for each of the Company’s warehouses and stores and are based upon prior shipment history, sales trends and seasonal demand. Inventory on hand is compared to the target levels on a weekly basis at each warehouse. If the inventory on hand at a warehouse is below the target levels, the Company’s buyers order merchandise from its suppliers.

Each Pep Boys’ store has an automatic inventory replenishment system that automatically orders additional inventory when a store’s inventory on hand falls below the target level. In addition, the Company’s centralized buying system, coupled with continued advancement in its warehouse and distribution systems, has enhanced the Company’s ability to control its inventory.

SUPPLIERS

During fiscal 2003, the Company’s ten largest suppliers accounted for approximately 42% of the merchandise purchased by the Company. No single supplier accounted for more than 18% of the Company’s purchases. The Company has no long-term contracts under which the Company is required to purchase merchandise. Management believes that the relationships the Company has established with its suppliers are generally good.

In the past, the Company has not experienced difficulty in obtaining satisfactory sources of supply and believes that adequate alternative sources of supply exist, at substantially similar cost, for virtually all types of merchandise sold in its stores.

COMPETITION

The business of the Company is highly competitive. The Company encounters competition from nationwide and regional chains and from local independent merchants. The Company’s competitors include general, full range, discount or traditional department stores which carry automotive parts and accessories and/or have automotive service centers, as well as specialized automotive retailers similar to the Company. Generally, the specialized automotive retailers focus on either the “do-it-yourself” or “do-it-for-me” areas of the business. The Company believes that its operation in both the “do-it-yourself” and “do-it-for-me” areas of the business positively differentiates it from most of its competitors. However, certain competitors are larger in terms of sales volume, store size, and/or number of stores. Therefore, these competitors have access to greater capital and management resources and have been operating longer in particular geographic areas than the Company.

Although the Company’s competition varies by geographic area, the Company believes that it generally has a favorable competitive position in terms of depth and breadth of product line, price, quality of personnel and customer service.

The Company believes that the warranty policies in connection with the higher priced items it sells, such as tires, batteries, brake linings and other major automotive parts and accessories, are comparable or superior to those of its competitors.

REGULATION

The Company is subject to various federal, state and local laws and governmental regulations relating to the operation of our business, including those governing the handling, storage and disposal of hazardous substances contained in the products we sell and use in our service bays, the recycling of batteries, tires and used lubricants, and the ownership and operation of real property.

RISK FACTORS

Our business faces significant risks. The risks described below may not be the only risks we face. If any of the events or circumstances described as risks below actually occurs, our business, results of operations or financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

Risks Related to Pep Boys

If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flows from our operations, our liquidity will suffer and we may be unable to satisfy our obligations.

We require significant capital to fund our business. While we believe we have the ability to sufficiently fund our planned operations and capital expenditures for the balance of fiscal 2004, circumstances could arise that would materially affect our liquidity. For example, cash flows from our operations could be affected by changes in consumer spending habits or the failure to maintain favorable vendor payment terms or our inability to successfully implement sales growth initiatives. We may be unsuccessful in securing alternative financing when needed, on terms that we consider acceptable, or at all.

The degree to which we are leveraged could have important consequences to your investment in our securities, including the following risks:

• our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or general corporate purposes may be impaired in the future;

• a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations must be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on our debt, thereby reducing the funds available for other purposes;

• our failure to comply with the financial and other restrictive covenants governing our debt, which, among other things, require us to maintain financial ratios and limit our ability to incur additional debt and sell assets, could result in an event of default that, if not cured or waived, could have a material adverse effect on our business or our prospects; and

• if we are substantially more leveraged than some of our competitors, we might be at a competitive disadvantage to those competitors that have lower debt service obligations and significantly greater operating and financial flexibility than we do.

We depend on our relationships with our vendors and a disruption of these relationships or of our vendors’ operations could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Our business depends on developing and maintaining productive relationships with our vendors. Many factors outside our control may harm these relationships. For example, financial difficulties that some of our vendors may face may increase the cost of the products we purchase from them. In addition, our failure to promptly pay, or order sufficient quantities of inventory from, our vendors may increase the cost of products we purchase or may lead to vendors refusing to sell products to us at all. The recent trend towards consolidation among automotive parts suppliers may also disrupt our relationship with some vendors. To enhance our supply of top-quality, competitively-priced tires and batteries, we have selected a primary vendor who supplies over 90% of our needs in each of these two product categories. A disruption of our vendor relationships or a disruption in our vendors’ operations could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

We depend on our senior management team and our other personnel, and we face substantial competition for qualified personnel.

Our success depends on the efforts of our senior management team. Our continued success will also depend upon our ability to retain existing, and attract additional, qualified field personnel to meet our needs. We face substantial competition, both from within and outside of the automotive aftermarket to retain and attract qualified personnel. In addition, we believe that the number of qualified automotive service technicians in the industry is generally insufficient to meet demand.

We are subject to environmental laws and may be subject to environmental liabilities that could have a material adverse effect on us in the future.

We are subject to various federal, state and local laws and governmental regulations relating to the operation of our business, including those governing the handling, storage and disposal of hazardous substances contained in the products we sell and use in our service bays, the recycling of batteries, tires and used lubricants, and the ownership and operation of real property. As a result of investigations undertaken in connection with a number of our store acquisitions and financings, we are aware that soil or groundwater may be contaminated at some of our properties. Any failure by us to comply with environmental laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on us.

We are developing a new point-of-sale information system that is currently behind schedule, and further delays in its introduction could lead to increased demands on capital and a competitive disadvantage relative to our competitors.

We began developing in November 2001 a fully integrated point-of-sale information system for all of our stores that we believe will improve our stores’ operating efficiency and product sourcing. In the fourth quarter of 2003, due to concerns about the ability of the base software’s architecture to support a chain-wide roll-out, we decided to identify an alternative base software as the basis for our customized system. Consequently, despite the fact that we expect to utilize a portion of the assets developed to date, the roll-out of the new system has been delayed and we took a $13.2 million impairment charge against a portion of the system’s assets. In addition to the increased demand on capital caused by the difficulties in the development and introduction of our new point-of-sale system, further delays in its introduction could lead to a competitive disadvantage relative to our competitors.

Risks Related to Our Industry

Our industry is highly competitive, and price competition in some categories of the automotive aftermarket or a loss of trust in our participation in the “do-it-for-me” market, could cause a material decline in our revenues and earnings.

The automotive aftermarket retail and service industry is highly competitive and subjects us to a wide variety of competitors. We compete primarily with the following types of businesses in each category of the automotive aftermarket:

Do-It-Yourself

Retail

• automotive parts and accessories stores;

• automobile dealers that supply manufacturer replacement parts and accessories; and

• mass merchandisers and wholesale clubs that sell automotive products.

Do-It-For-Me

Service Labor and Installed Merchandise

• regional and local full service automotive repair shops;

• automobile dealers that provide repair and maintenance services;

• national and regional (including franchised) tire retailers that provide additional automotive repair and maintenance services; and

• national and regional (including franchised) specialized automotive (such as exhaust, brake and transmission) repair facilities that provide additional automotive repair and maintenance services.

Tire Sales

• national and regional (including franchised) tire retailers; and

• mass merchandisers and wholesale clubs that sell tires.

A number of our competitors have more financial resources, are more geographically diverse or have better name recognition than us, which might place us at a competitive disadvantage to those competitors. Because we seek to offer competitive prices, if our competitors reduce their prices we may be forced to reduce our prices, which could cause a material decline in our revenues and earnings and hinder our ability to service our debt.

With respect to the service labor category, the majority of consumers are unfamiliar with their vehicle’s mechanical operation and, as a result, often select a service provider based on trust. Potential occurrences of negative publicity associated with the Pep Boys brand, the products we sell or installation or repairs performed in our service bays, whether or not factually accurate, could cause consumers to lose confidence in our products and services in the short or long term, and cause them to choose our competitors for their automotive service needs.

Vehicle miles driven may decrease, resulting in a decline of our revenues and negatively affecting our results of operations.

Our industry depends on the number of vehicle miles driven. Factors that may cause the number of vehicle miles and our revenues and our results of operations to decrease include:

• the weather—as vehicle maintenance may be deferred during periods of inclement weather;

• the economy—as during periods of poor economic conditions, customers may defer vehicle maintenance or repair, and during periods of good economic conditions, consumers may opt to purchase new vehicles rather than service the vehicles they currently own and replace worn or damaged parts;

• gas prices—as increases in gas prices may deter consumers from using their vehicles; and

• travel patterns—as changes in travel patterns may cause consumers to rely more heavily on train and airplane transportation.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements contained herein including in Item 1 “Business” and Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The words “guidance,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “forecasts” and similar expressions are intended to identify these 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 these 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 Commission.

ITEM 3 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In the third quarter, the Company reached an agreement, through binding arbitration, to settle the consolidated action entitled “Dubrow et al vs. The Pep Boys—Manny Moe & Jack”. The two consolidated actions, originally filed on March 29, 2000 and July 25, 2000 in the California Superior Court in Orange County, involved former and current store management employees who claimed that they were improperly classified as exempt from the overtime provisions of California law and sought to be compensated for all overtime hours worked. The settlement was paid by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2004.

An action entitled “Tomas Diaz Rodriguez; Energy Tech Corporation v. Pep Boys Corporation; Manny, Moe & Jack Corp. Puerto Rico, Inc. d/b/a Pep Boys” was previously instituted against the Company in the Court of First Instance of Puerto Rico, Bayamon Superior Division on March 15, 2002. The action was subsequently removed to, and is currently pending in, the United States District Court for the District of Puerto Rico. Plaintiffs are distributors of a product that claims to improve gas mileage. The plaintiffs alleged that the Company entered into an agreement with them to act as the exclusive retailer of the product in Puerto Rico that was breached when the Company determined to stop selling the product. On March 29, 2004, the Company’s motion for summary judgment was granted and the case was dismissed. The plaintiff has until April 28, 2004 to appeal.

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

ITEM 4 SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders, through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise, during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended January 31, 2004.

ITEM 7 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

Introduction

Pep Boys is a leader in the automotive aftermarket, with 595 stores and more than 6,000 service bays 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 and accessories.

Of our 595 stores, 584 are what we call Supercenters, which feature an average of 11 state-of-the-art service bays, with an average of more than 20,000 square feet per Supercenter. Our store size allows us to display and sell a more complete offering of merchandise in a wider array of categories than our competitors, with a focus on the high-growth accessories segment and a comprehensive tire offering. We leverage this investment in inventory through our ability to install what we sell in our service bays and by offering this merchandise to both commercial and retail customers.

We have a new leadership team of experienced retailers in place. This team has come together over the last year and combines new hires and tenured executives with automotive aftermarket, big box retail and proven business building experience.

We have successfully implemented the final phase of our Profit Enhancement Plan (“PEP”) that we launched in late 2000 and are continuing to focus upon improving the performance of our existing stores in order to provide a solid base for growth and expansion in the $131.7 billion car and light truck automotive aftermarket.

We had total revenues of $2.1 billion and operating profit of $11.0 million in fiscal 2003. During 2003, we were able to reduce our total debt and increase our cash and cash equivalents by $102.4 million and $18.2 million, respectively. This was accomplished by continued improvement in our inventory to accounts payable ratio, which resulted in net cash provided by operating activities of $152.1 million, a 10% improvement over the prior year. Since 1950, we have paid a quarterly cash dividend on an uninterrupted basis, and we are currently paying an annual dividend of $0.27 per share.

On March 24, 2004, the Company sold 4,646,464 shares of common stock (par value $1 per share) at a price of $24.75 per share for net proceeds (before expenses) of $109,250,000.

Restatement

Following a review of our lease–related accounting policies, we have determined to correct our computation of depreciation, straight-line rent expense and the related deferred rent liability. As a result, on January 30, 2005, our Board of Directors, including our Audit Committee, concluded to restate the Company’s financial statements for the three year period ended January 31, 2004 and for the first three quarters of fiscal 2004.

These non-cash adjustments will not have any impact on our previously reported cash flows, sales, comparable sales or our compliance with any financial covenant under our revolving credit facility or other debt instruments.

The primary effect of the corrections is to accelerate the depreciation of leasehold improvements assets on those leased properties where the initial lease term is shorter than the estimated useful economic life of those assets and rental expense on properties we occupied before payment of rents was required. The cumulative effect of the restatement as of February 1, 2003 is a decrease in total property and equipment – net of $55,813,000, a decrease in assets from discontinued operations of $2,447,000, an increase in the deferred rent liability of $ 12,320,000, a decrease in deferred income tax liability of $26,468,000 and a decrease in retained earnings of $44,112,000. The impact of the restatement is an (increase) decrease in net (loss) earnings of $(1,748,000), $4,332,000 and $4,968,000 for fiscal years 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively, from amounts previously reported. The restatement increased reported diluted loss per share by $0.03, for fiscal 2003, and decreased reported diluted earnings per share by $0.08 and $0.10 for fiscal 2002 and 2001, respectively. The cumulative effect of the restatement for all years prior to fiscal 2001 was $34,812,000, which was recorded as an adjustment to opening stockholders’ equity at February 2, 2002. The restatement did not have any impact on our previously reported cash flows, sales or comparable sales or on our compliance with any financial covenant under our line of credit facility or other debt instruments.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations has been revised for the effects of the Restatement. See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements.

Business Strategy

Our strategy to become the category dominant one-stop shop for automotive maintenance and accessories includes:

• Building Upon a Successful Restructuring. In July 2003, we initiated the final phase of our comprehensive Profit Enhancement Plan (PEP), which was launched in November 2000. The key elements of PEP included closing under-performing stores, closing and consolidating distribution centers, streamlining our corporate management structure, significantly reducing in-store, service and field management and eliminating certain unprofitable merchandise offerings. Following completion of the final phase of PEP, we estimate that the contribution to earnings resulting from PEP will be approximately $95 million per year ($84 million from the initial phase and $11 million from the final phase) as compared to fiscal 2000.

• Improving Our Merchandising Capabilities. We will continue to fill our stores with a new and flexible merchandising mix designed to increase customer traffic. We will take advantage of our industry-leading average retail square footage to improve and intensify our merchandise displays. We utilize product-specific advertising to highlight promotional items and pricing, primarily through weekly print advertising.

• Enhancing Our Stores. We have begun to reinvest in our existing stores to completely redesign their interiors and enhance their exterior appeal. We believe that this layout will provide customers with a clear and concise way of finding what they need and will promote cross-selling.

• Focusing Our Service Offering and Introducing Name Brand Tires. We continue to build upon the competitive advantage that our service offering provides over our parts-only competitors by sharpening our focus on the most profitable maintenance services and introducing name brand tires. By narrowing our service offering, we believe that we can improve our financial performance, both by eliminating less profitable heavy repair services and by better managing the skills of our staff. In addition, the introduction of name brand tires is expected to attract more customers and to help establish those customer relationships earlier in the post-warranty period of their car’s life.

• New Store Growth. We expect new store growth to begin in fiscal 2006. This growth will focus primarily upon increasing penetration in our existing markets to further leverage our investments. We are likely to grow our total number of service bays through a combination of acquisitions and building new stores. The format of these new stores is likely to include both Supercenters and a service-only format that will utilize existing Supercenters for most of their inventory needs.

CAPITAL & LIQUIDITY

Capital Resources and Needs

The Company’s cash requirements arise principally from the capital expenditures related to existing stores, offices and warehouses and to purchase inventory. The primary capital expenditures for fiscal 2003 were attributed to capital maintenance of the Company’s existing stores and offices. The Company opened no new stores in 2003 compared with two new stores in fiscal 2002, and one new store in fiscal 2001. In fiscal 2003, with an increase in accounts payable offset in part by capital expenditures and an increase in merchandise inventories, the Company decreased its debt by $102,380,000 and increased its cash and cash equivalents by $18,214,000. In fiscal 2002, with an increase in capital expenditures and decrease in accounts payable offset, in part, by a decrease in merchandise inventories, the Company decreased its debt by $41,574,000 and increased its cash and cash equivalents by $26,789,000. In fiscal 2001, with a decrease in merchandise inventories coupled with decreased levels of capital expenditures and an increase in accounts payable, the Company decreased its debt by $143,913,000 and increased its cash and cash equivalents by $7,986,000. The Company has no plans to open any new stores in fiscal 2004. Management estimates capital expenditures relating to existing stores, warehouses and offices during fiscal 2004 will be approximately $72,500,000. The Company anticipates that its net cash provided by operating activities, its existing line of credit, and a portion of the proceeds of its March 24, 2004 common stock offering will exceed its principal cash requirements in fiscal 2004.

In fiscal 2003, merchandise inventories increased as the Company commenced merchandising initiatives designed to improve the overall product mix of its stores. These new products average a higher carrying cost per product, which caused an increase in merchandise inventories even though the Company decreased the average number of stock-keeping units per store to approximately 23,000 in fiscal 2003, compared to 24,000 in fiscal 2002 and 25,000 in fiscal 2001. In fiscal 2002, merchandise inventories decreased as the Company continued its focus on inventory management. In fiscal 2001, merchandise inventories decreased as the Company maintained its net store count and completed the exit of the two distribution centers closed in fiscal 2000 as part of the Profit Enhancement Plan.

The Company’s working capital was $76,227,000 at January 31, 2004, $130,680,000 at February 1, 2003, and $115,201,000 at February 2, 2002. The Company’s long-term debt, as a percentage of its total capitalization, was 42% at January 31, 2004, 47% at February 1, 2003 and 49% at February 2, 2002. As of January 31, 2004, the Company had an available line of credit totaling $198,754,000.

On March 24, 2004, the Company sold 4,646,464 shares of common stock (par value $1 per share) at a price of $24.75 per share for net proceeds (before expenses) of $109,250,000. The Company used the net proceeds from the sale of common stock offered in this offering to repay the outstanding balance under its revolving credit facility, which was used along with cash to repay the $57,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Medium-Term Notes that matured on March 3, 2004 and March 10, 2004, and to prepay the approximately $22,400,000 aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Company’s Senior Secured Credit Facility, with the balance to be applied to store redesigns.

Long-term Debt

In November 2003, the Company retired $6,000,000 of aggregate principal notes with an original maturity date of January 1, 2004.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company reclassified $16,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.67% Medium-Term Notes with a stated maturity date of November 5, 2004 and $35,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.71% Medium-Term Notes with a stated maturity date of November 3, 2004 to current liabilities on the balance sheet. The Company anticipates being able to repurchase these notes with cash from operations and its existing line of credit.

On August 1, 2003, the Company extended its revolving line of credit, which was set to expire September 22, 2004, to August 1, 2008. Thereafter, it automatically renews for annual periods, unless terminated by either party on 60 days notice prior to the applicable termination date. The line of credit provides up to $226,000,000 of borrowing availability, subject to certain required reserves, and is collateralized by inventory and accounts receivable. Funds may be drawn and repaid anytime prior to August 1, 2008. The loans bear interest at a rate equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 2.00%, subject to 0.25% incremental increases as excess availability under the line of credit falls below $50,000,000. The line of credit is subject to financial covenants. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings under the revolving credit agreement was 3.4% and 3.8% at January 31, 2004 and February 1, 2003, respectively.

On May 15, 2003, upon maturity, the Company retired $75,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.625% notes.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company reclassified $32,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.75% Medium-Term Notes with a stated maturity date of March 10, 2004 and $25,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.65% Medium-Term Notes with a stated maturity date of March 3, 2004 to current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company repurchased these notes in March 2004, with cash from operations and its existing line of credit.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company retired $42,875,000 aggregate principal amount of the remaining $43,005,000 of the Medium-Term Notes with an original maturity date of September 2007. These notes were redeemed at the option of the holders. The Company repurchased these notes with a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the 4.25% Senior Convertible Notes.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company retired $49,915,000 aggregate principal amount of the $50,000,000 Medium-Term Note with an original maturity date of July 2007. These notes were redeemed at the option of the holders. The Company repurchased these notes with a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the 4.25% Senior Convertible Notes.

On May 21, 2002, the Company issued $150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.25% Convertible Senior Notes due June 1, 2007. The notes are unsecured and jointly and severally guaranteed by the Company’s wholly-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 notes may be converted into shares of Pep Boys common stock at any time prior to their maturity unless they have been previously repurchased or redeemed by the Company. The conversion rate is 44.6484 shares per each $1,000 principal amount of notes, equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $22.40 per share. Interest on the notes is payable by the Company on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning December 1, 2002. The proceeds from the sale of the notes were used to retire debt.

In fiscal 2001, the Company repurchased the remaining $241,504,000 face value of its Liquid Yield Option Notes (LYONs). The book value of the repurchased LYONs was $161,812,000.

In June 2001, the Company obtained $90,000,000 in a Senior Secured Credit Facility, which was satisfied in full on April 1, 2004.

Other Contractual Obligations

In October 2001, the Company entered into a contractual commitment to purchase media advertising services with equal annual purchase requirements totaling $39,773,000 over four years. As of January 31, 2004, the Company was obligated to purchase an outstanding balance of $15,569,000. The minimum required purchases for each of the remaining two years of this commitment are as follows: 2004—$8,112,000; 2005—$7,457,000.

The Company has letters of credit arrangements with selected vendors to assure collectibility of balances owed to these vendors. The Company was contingently liable for $1,682,000 in outstanding import letters of credit and $39,204,000 in outstanding standby letters of credit as of January 31, 2004.

The Company was also contingently liable for surety bonds in the amount of approximately $7,724,000 as of January 31, 2004. The surety bonds guarantee certain payments (for example utilities, easement repairs, workers’ compensation, customs fees, etc.) for the Company’s stores.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

On August 1, 2003, the Company refinanced $132,000,000 in operating leases. These leases, which expire on August 1, 2008, have lease payments with an effective rate of LIBOR plus 2.06%. The Company has evaluated this transaction in accordance with the original guidance of Financial Interpretation Number (FIN) 46 and has determined that it is not required to consolidate the leasing entity. The leases include a residual value guarantee with a maximum value of approximately $105,000,000. The Company expects the fair market value of the leased real estate to substantially reduce or eliminate the Company’s payment under the residual guarantee at the end of the lease term.

In accordance with FIN 45, the Company has recorded a liability for the fair value of the guarantee related to this operating lease. As of January 31, 2004, the current value of this liability was $4,488,000 which is recorded in other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

In May 2001, the Company sold certain operating assets for $14,000,000. The assets were leased back from the purchaser in a lease structured as a one-year term with three one-year renewal options. The resulting lease is being accounted for as an operating lease and the gain of $3,817,000 from the sale of the certain operating assets is deferred until the lease term is completed and the residual guarantee is satisfied, at which time the gain will be recorded in costs of merchandise sales and costs of service revenue.

The Company leases certain property and equipment under operating leases which contain renewal and escalation clauses. Total operating lease commitments as of January 31, 2004 were $475,132,000.

Pension Plans

The Company has a defined benefit pension plan covering its full-time employees hired on or before February 1, 1992 and an unfunded Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP). The pension expense for fiscal 2003, 2002 and 2001, was $11,937,000, $3,243,000 and $1,754,000, respectively. This expense is calculated based upon a number of actuarial assumptions, including an expected return on plan assets of 6.75% and a discount rate of 6.75%. In developing the expected return on asset assumptions, the Company evaluated input from its actuaries, including their review of asset class return expectations. The discount rate utilized by the Company is based on a review of AA bond performance. Due to the effect of the unrecognized actuarial losses and based upon an expected return on plan assets of 6.75%, a discount rate of 6.25% and various other assumptions, the Company estimates the pension expense will approximate $3,587,000 for both plans in fiscal 2004. The Company will continue to evaluate its actuarial assumptions and adjust as necessary. In fiscal 2003, the Company contributed $13,151,000 to the defined benefit pension plan and the SERP. Based upon the current funded status of the defined benefit pension plan and the unfunded SERP, cash contributions are expected to be $1,055,000 in fiscal 2004.

In fiscal 2003, the Company settled an obligation of $12,620,000 related to the SERP obligation for the former Chairman and CEO. Also, the Company curtailed the benefits for 15 covered individuals as of January 31, 2004, and transferred a portion of their accrued benefits to a new defined contribution plan. These obligations resulted in an expense under SFAS No. 88, “Employers’ Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits,” of approximately $5,231,000 and $2,191,000, respectively, in fiscal 2003.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Restructuring

Building upon the Profit Enhancement Plan launched in October 2000, the Company, during fiscal 2003, conducted a comprehensive review of its operations including individual store performance, the entire management infrastructure and its merchandise and service offerings. On July 31, 2003, the Company announced several initiatives aimed at realigning its business and continuing to improve upon the Company’s profitability. The Company expects these actions, including the disposal and sublease of the Company’s real properties, to be substantially completed by the end of the second quarter 2004 and estimates the costs, including future costs that were not accrued, to be approximately $66,752,000. The Company is accounting for these initiatives in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 146 “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities” and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. These initiatives included:

Closure of 33 under-performing stores on July 31, 2003

The charges related to these closures included a $31,237,000 write-down of fixed assets, $424,000 in long-term lease and other related obligations, net of subleases, and $980,000 in workforce reduction costs. These charges are included in discontinued operations of the consolidated statement of operations. The write-down of fixed assets includes the adjustment to the market value of those owned stores that are now classified as assets held for disposal in accordance with SFAS 144 and the write-down of leasehold improvements. The assets held for disposal have been valued at the lower of their carrying amount or their estimated fair value, net of disposal costs. The long-term lease and other related obligations represent the fair value of such obligations less the estimated net sublease income. The workforce reduction costs represent the involuntary termination benefits payable to approximately 900 store employees, all of who were notified on or prior to July 31, 2003. Severance for these employees was accrued in accordance with SFAS 146. Approximately 61% of these employees were terminated as of November 1, 2003. The remaining employees accepted other positions within the Company subsequent to the July 31, 2003 notification date. The accrued severance of $557,000 related to employees that accepted other positions was reversed in the third quarter of fiscal 2003. An additional $187,000 in accrued severance was reversed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003 due to a change in the estimate of severance payable. These reversals were recorded in discontinued operations on the consolidated statement of operations.

Discontinuation of certain merchandise offerings

In the second quarter, the Company recorded a $24,580,000 write-down of inventory as a result of a decision to discontinue certain merchandising offerings. This write-down was recorded in cost of merchandise sales on the consolidated statement of operations.

Corporate realignment

The charges related to this realignment included $3,070,000 in workforce reduction costs, $2,543,000 of expenses incurred in the development of the restructuring plan, a $536,000 write-down of certain assets and $467,000 in costs related to two warehouse lease terminations. The workforce reduction costs represent the involuntary termination benefits payable to 150 Store Support Center employees and field managers. All of these employees were terminated as of November 1, 2003. The realignment charges were recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses and cost of merchandise sales on the consolidated statement of operations.

Reserve summary

The following chart details the reserve balances through January 31, 2004. The reserve includes remaining rent on leases net of sublease income, other contractual obligations associated with leased properties and employee severance.

During fiscal 2003, the Company sold assets held for disposal for proceeds of $12,068,000 resulting in a gain of $7,097,000 which was recorded in discontinued operations on the consolidated statement of operations.

Impairment Charges

During the second quarter 2003, the Company, as a result of its ongoing review of the performance of its stores, identified certain stores whose cash flow trend indicated that their carrying value may not be fully recoverable. An impairment charge of $1,371,000 was recorded for these stores in costs of merchandise sales on the consolidated statement of operations. The charge reflects the difference between these stores’ carrying value and fair value. Fair value was based on sales of similar assets or other estimates of fair value developed by Company management. Management’s judgment is necessary to estimate fair value. Accordingly, actual results could vary from such estimates.

In November 2001, the Company began developing a fully integrated point-of-sale information system for all of its stores. Due to concerns about the ability of the base software’s architecture to support a chain-wide roll-out, the Company decided to identify an alternative base software as the basis for our customized system. Consequently, the Company took a $13,164,000 impairment charge against a portion of the system’s assets in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003. This charge was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statement of operations.

Fiscal 2003 vs. Fiscal 2002

Total revenues for fiscal 2003 increased 1.7%. This increase was due primarily to an increase in comparable store revenues (revenues generated by stores in operation during the same period) of 1.6%. Comparable store service revenue increased 1.3% while comparable store merchandise sales increased 1.7%.

Gross profit from merchandise sales decreased, as a percentage of merchandise sales, to 28.1% in fiscal 2003 from 30.0% in fiscal 2002. This decrease, as a percentage of merchandise sales, was due primarily to a $24,580,000 inventory write-down associated with the corporate restructuring, increased store occupancy costs, increased warehousing costs and an impairment charge of $1,371,000. The increase in store occupancy was due to higher rent and utilities expenses. The increase in warehousing costs was due to higher rent and delivery expenses.

Gross profit from service revenue decreased, as a percentage of service revenue, to 23.3% in fiscal 2003 from 25.1% in fiscal 2002. This decrease, as a percentage of service revenue, was due primarily to an increase in workers’ compensation expense.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased, as a percentage of total revenues, to 26.7% in fiscal 2003 from 24.0% in fiscal 2002. This was a $65,671,000 or 13.0% increase over the prior year. This increase, as a percentage of total revenues, was due primarily to an increase in general office costs, net media expense and employee benefits, as a percentage of total revenues. The increase in general office costs was due primarily to an increase in the Company’s legal reserves of approximately $26,692,000, a $13,164,000 impairment charge for a portion of the point-of-sale information system project, and $5,613,000 of costs associated with the corporate restructuring. The increase in net media expense is due primarily to increased radio and circular advertising expense and a decrease in cooperative advertising. The increase in employee benefits was due primarily to the settlement of retirement plan obligations and increased health benefits expense.

Interest expense decreased 19.0% or $8,982,000 due primarily to lower debt levels coupled with lower average interest rates.

Earnings from discontinued operations decreased $16,852,000, net of tax, due primarily to the charges associated with the corporate restructuring.

Net earnings decreased, as a percentage of total revenues, due primarily to a decrease in gross profit from merchandise sales, as a percentage of merchandise sales, a decrease in gross profit from service revenue, as a percentage of service revenue, an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of total revenues, a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle of $2,484,000, net of tax, and a decrease in earnings from discontinued operations offset, in part, by a decrease in interest expense.

Fiscal 2002 vs. Fiscal 2001

Total revenues for fiscal 2002 decreased 0.6%. This decrease was due primarily to a decrease in comparable store revenues (revenues generated by stores in operation during the same period) of 0.6%, offset slightly by an increase in the number of stores in operation in fiscal 2002 versus fiscal 2001. Comparable store service revenue decreased 0.9%, while comparable store merchandise sales decreased 0.6%.

Gross profit from merchandise sales increased, as a percentage of merchandise sales, to 30.0% in fiscal 2002 from 29.0% in fiscal 2001. This increase was due primarily to higher merchandise margins, as a percentage of merchandise sales, offset, in part, by a charge related to the Profit Enhancement Plan of $2,014,000 in fiscal 2002 versus $4,169,000 in fiscal 2001. The improved merchandise margins were a result of a combination of an improvement in the mix of sales, selectively higher retail pricing, lower product acquisition costs and improved inventory controls.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased, as a percentage of total revenues, to 24.0% in fiscal 2002 from 23.6% in fiscal 2001. This increase, as a percentage of total revenues, was due primarily to obligations associated with the non-renewal of the former Chairman and CEO’s employment agreement and related search fees, coupled with $4,905,000, or 72%, higher net media expense. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of total revenues, was offset, in part, by a decrease in store operating expenses. The increase in net media expense was due to increases in radio and circular advertising expenses, offset, in part, by a decrease in television advertising expense and an increase in cooperative advertising. The decrease in store expenses, as a percentage of total revenues, was due primarily to decreases in store payroll, as a percentage of total revenues.

Interest expense decreased $6,472,000, or 12.1%, due primarily to lower debt levels coupled with lower average interest rates on the Company’s borrowings.

Net earnings increased, as a percentage of total revenues, due primarily to an increase in gross profit from merchandise sales, as a percentage of merchandise sales, and a decrease in interest expense, offset by an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of total revenues, and a net charge related to the Profit Enhancement Plan of $1,593,000 in fiscal 2002 versus $3,326,000 in fiscal 2001.

Effects of Inflation

The Company uses the LIFO method of inventory valuation. Thus, the cost of merchandise sold approximates current cost. Although the Company cannot accurately determine the precise effect of inflation on its operations, it does not believe inflation has had a material effect on revenues or results of operations during all fiscal years presented.

Industry Comparison

The Company operates in the U.S. automotive aftermarket, which as described in the industry overview section is split into two areas: 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. The Company believes that its operation in both the “DIY” and “DIFM” areas of the business positively differentiates it from most of its competitors. Although the Company manages its store performance at a store level in aggregation, management believes that the following presentation shows the comparison against competitors within the two areas. The Company competes in the “DIY” area of the business through its retail sales floor and commercial sales business (Retail Business). The Company considers its Service Business (labor and installed merchandise and tires) to compete in the DIFM area of the industry. The following table presents the revenues and gross profit for each area of the business.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses the Company’s 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. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its 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. Management bases its 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.

The Company believes that the following represent its more critical estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, although not inclusive:

• The Company evaluates whether inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market based on historical experience with the carrying value and life of inventory. The assumptions used in this evaluation are based on current market conditions and the Company believes inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market in the consolidated financial statements. In addition, historically the Company has been able to return excess items to vendors for credit. Future changes by vendors in their policies or willingness to accept returns of excess inventory could require a revision in the estimates.

• The Company has risk participation arrangements with respect to casualty and health care insurance. The amounts included in the Company’s costs related to these arrangements are estimated and can vary based on changes in assumptions, claims experience or the providers included in the associated insurance programs.

• The Company records reserves for future product returns and warranty claims. The reserves are based on current sales of products and historical claim experience. If claims experience differs from historical levels, revisions in the Company’s estimates may be required.

• The Company has significant pension costs and liabilities that are developed from actuarial valuations. Inherent in these valuations are key assumptions including discount rates, expected return on plan assets, mortality rates and merit and promotion increases. The Company is required to consider current market conditions, including changes in interest rates in selecting these assumptions. Changes in the related pension costs or liabilities may occur in the future due to changes in the assumptions.

• The Company periodically evaluates its long-lived assets for indicators of impairment. Management’s judgments are based on market and operational conditions at the time of evaluation. Future events could cause management’s conclusion on impairment to change, requiring an adjustment of these assets to their then current fair market value.

• The Company provides estimates of fair value for real estate assets and lease liabilities related to store closures when appropriate to do so based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Future circumstances may result in the Company’s actual future costs or the amounts recognized upon the sale of the property to differ substantially from original estimates.

RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 132 (revised 2003), “Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits.” SFAS No. 132 (revised 2003) revises employers’ disclosures about pension plans and postretirement benefit plans. SFAS No. 132 (revised 2003) does not change the measurement and recognition of those plans required by SFAS No. 87, “Employers’ Accounting for Pensions”, SFAS No. 88, “Employers’ Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits”, and SFAS No. 106, “Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions.” SFAS No. 132 (revised 2003) retains the original disclosure requirements contained in SFAS No. 132 and requires additional expanded annual and interim disclosures to those in the original SFAS No. 132 about the assets, obligations, cash flows, and net periodic benefit cost of defined benefit pension plans and other defined benefit postretirement benefit plans. Except for certain provisions, the adoption of this Statement is required for financial statements with fiscal years ending after December 15, 2003. The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 132 (revised 2003) in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003 with no material effect on its consolidated financial statements. The revised disclosure requirements are reflected in Note 10 of the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 herein.

In December 2003, the FASB revised FIN 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.” FIN 46, an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements,” changes the criteria by which one company includes another entity in its consolidated financial statements. FIN 46R requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of any expected losses from the variable interest entity’s activities, is entitled to receive any expected residual returns of the variable interest entity, or both. The guidance contained in FIN 46R is effective no later than the end of the first reporting period that ends after March 15, 2004. If an entity has applied the original guidance in this Interpretation prior to the effective date of FIN 46R, the entity, shall continue to apply FIN 46 until the effective date or apply this Interpretation at an earlier date. On August 1, 2003 the Company refinanced its real estate operating lease facility, which qualified as a variable interest entity into a new entity. The Company evaluated this leasing transaction in accordance with the original guidance of FIN 46 and determined it does not have to consolidate this leasing entity. The Company has adopted the revised guidance of FIN 46R for variable interest entities created prior to December 31, 2003 in the fourth quarter of 2003 with no material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2003, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached a consensus on EITF 03-10, “Application of Issue No. 02-16 by Resellers to Sales Incentives Offered to Consumers by Manufacturers”. This consensus addresses the application of EITF 02-16, “Accounting by a Customer (Including a Reseller) for Certain Consideration Received from a Vendor”. EITF 02-16 addresses accounting issues pertaining to cash consideration received by a reseller from a vendor entered into after December 31, 2002. The provisions of EITF No. 03-10 would be applied to new arrangements, including modifications to existing arrangements, entered into or redeemed in fiscal periods beginning after November 25, 2003. The Company has adopted the provisions of EITF 03-10 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003 with no material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity”. SFAS No. 150 affects how an entity measures and reports financial instruments that have characteristics of both liabilities and equity, and is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and for all other instruments for interim periods beginning after June 15, 2003. The FASB continues to address certain implementation issues associated with the application of SFAS No. 150, including those related to mandatory redeemable financial instruments representing non-controlling interests in subsidiaries’ consolidated financial statements. The Company will continue to monitor the actions of the FASB and assess the impact, if any, on its consolidated financial statements. The Company has adopted the effective provisions of SFAS No. 150 in the third quarter of fiscal 2003 with no material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2003, the EITF reached a consensus on EITF 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.” This consensus addresses certain aspects of the accounting by a vendor for arrangements under which it will perform multiple revenue-generating activities. Specifically, EITF 00-21 addresses how to determine whether an arrangement involving multiple deliverables contains more than one unit of accounting. The guidance in this EITF 00-21 is effective for revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company has elected early adoption for the provisions of this consensus prospectively in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003 with no material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments and hedging activities, resulting primarily from decisions made by the FASB’s Derivatives Implementation Group following the issuance of SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” SFAS No. 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and is effective for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The Company adopted this statement in the second quarter of fiscal 2003 with no material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, “Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections.” As a result of rescinding FASB Statement No. 4, “Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt,” gains and losses from extinguishment of debt should be classified as extraordinary items only if they meet the criteria of APB Opinion No. 30, “Reporting the Results of Operations.” This statement also amends FASB Statement No. 13, “Accounting for Leases,” to eliminate an inconsistency between the required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and the required accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions. Additional amendments include changes to other existing authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify meanings or describe their applicability under changed conditions. The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 145 in the first quarter of fiscal 2003. Accordingly, reclassifications of gains and losses from extinguishment of debt have been made for fiscal 2002 and 2001 to maintain comparability for the reported periods.

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.” SFAS No. 143 addresses accounting standards for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs and is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 143 in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 and has recognized an initial asset of $2,844,000, accumulated depreciation of $2,247,000, a liability of $4,540,000 and a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle before taxes of $3,943,000 ($2,484,000 net of tax) on its consolidated financial statements.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company does not utilize financial instruments for trading purposes and holds no derivative financial instruments which 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 and senior secured credit facility, changes in the lenders’ LIBOR could affect the rates at which the Company could borrow funds thereunder. At January 31, 2004, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $22,469,000 against these credit facilities. Additionally, the Company has $132,000,000 of real estate operating leases which vary based on changes in LIBOR. The Company has entered into an interest rate swap, which was designated as a cash flow hedge to convert the variable LIBOR portion of these lease payments to a fixed rate of 2.90% (see interest rate swap discussion below). The table below summarizes the fair value and contract terms of fixed rate debt instruments held by the Company at January 31, 2004:

(dollar amounts in thousands)	Amount		Average Interest Rate

Fair value at January 31, 2004	$	534,459
Expected maturities:
2004		108,000		6.7	%
2005		100,000		7.0
2006		143,000		6.9
2007		150,215		4.3
2008		—		—

At February 1, 2003, the Company had outstanding $582,215,000 of fixed rate notes with an aggregate fair market value of $550,491,000.

On June 3, 2003, the Company entered into an interest rate swap for a notional amount of $130,000,000. The Company has designated the swap as a cash flow hedge of the Company’s real estate operating lease payments. The interest rate swap converts the variable LIBOR portion of these lease payments to a fixed rate of 2.90% and terminates on July 1, 2008. 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 January 31, 2004, the fair value of the interest rate swap was $2,195,000 ($1,389,000, net of tax) and this change in value was included in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the consolidated balance sheets.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Stockholders
The Pep Boys—Manny, Moe & Jack

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of The Pep Boys—Manny, Moe & Jack and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of January 31, 2004 and February 1, 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 31, 2004.

These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Pep Boys—Manny, Moe & Jack and subsidiaries as of January 31, 2004 and February 1, 2003, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 31, 2004, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

THE PEP BOYS—MANNY, MOE & JACK AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Years ended January 31, 2004, February 1, 2003 and February 2, 2002
(dollar amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)

NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BUSINESS The Pep Boys-Manny, Moe & Jack and subsidiaries (the “Company”) is engaged principally in the retail sale of automotive parts and accessories, automotive maintenance and service and the installation of parts through a chain of stores. The Company currently operates stores in 36 states and Puerto Rico.

FISCAL YEAR END The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest to January 31. Fiscal years 2003, 2002 and 2001 were comprised of 52 weeks.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America necessarily requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

MERCHANDISE INVENTORIES Merchandise inventories are valued at the lower of cost (last-in, first-out) or market. If the first-in, first-out method of valuing inventories had been used by the Company, the inventory valuation difference would have been immaterial on both January 31, 2004 and February 1, 2003.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash equivalents include all short-term, highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: building and improvements, 5 to 40 years; furniture, fixtures and equipment, 3 to 10 years.

SOFTWARE CAPITALIZATION The Company, in accordance with Statement of Position (SOP) 98-1, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use”, capitalizes certain direct development costs associated with internal-use software, including external direct costs of material and services, and payroll costs for employees devoting time to the software projects. These costs are amortized over a period not to exceed five years beginning when the asset is substantially ready for use. Costs incurred during the preliminary project stage, as well as maintenance and training costs, are expensed as incurred.

CAPITALIZED INTEREST Interest on borrowed funds is capitalized in connection with the construction of certain long-term assets. Capitalized interest has been immaterial in all periods presented.

REVENUE RECOGNITION The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of merchandise at the time the merchandise is sold. Service revenues are recognized upon completion of the service. The Company records revenue net of an allowance for estimated future returns. Return activity is immaterial to revenue and results of operations in all periods presented.

VENDOR SUPPORT FUNDS The Company receives various incentives in the form of discounts and allowances from its vendors based on the volume of purchases or for services that the Company provides to the vendors. These incentives received from vendors include rebates, allowances and promotional funds. Typically, these funds are dependent on purchase volumes and advertising activities. The amounts received are subject to changes in market conditions, vendor marketing strategies and changes in the profitability or sell-through of the related merchandise for the Company.

The Company accounts for vendor support funds in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 02-16, “Accounting by a Customer (Including a Reseller) for Cash Consideration Received from a Vendor.” Rebates and other miscellaneous incentives are earned based on purchases or product sales. These incentives are treated as a reduction of inventories and are recognized as a reduction to cost of sales as the inventories are sold. Certain vendor allowances are used exclusively for promotions and to partially or fully offset certain other direct expenses. These allowances are netted against the appropriate expense it offsets.

WARRANTY RESERVE The Company provides warranties for both its merchandise sales and service labor. Warranties for merchandise are generally covered by its 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 fiscal years ending January 31, 2004 and February 1, 2003 are as follows:

Beginning balance at February 2, 2002	$	2,277
Additions related to current year sales		8,813
Warranty costs incurred in current year		(10,179	)
Adjustments to accruals related to prior year sales		—

Ending Balance at February 1, 2003		911
Additions related to current year sales		6,677
Warranty costs incurred in current year		(6,974	)
Adjustments to accruals related to prior year sales		—

Ending Balance at January 31, 2004	$	614

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

COSTS OF REVENUES 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.

PENSION EXPENSE The Company reports all information on its pension and savings plan benefits in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 132, “Employers’ Disclosure about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits (Revised 2003).”

INCOME TAXES The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under the liability method, deferred income taxes are determined based upon enacted tax laws and rates applied to the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities.

ADVERTISING The Company expenses the production costs of advertising the first time the advertising takes place. The Company nets certain cooperative advertising reimbursements against specific, incremental, identifiable costs incurred in connection with selling the vendor’s product. Any excess reimbursement is characterized as a reduction of inventory and is recognized as a reduction to cost of sales as the inventories are sold. Net advertising expense for fiscal years 2003, 2002 and 2001 was $19,714, $11,733 and $6,828, respectively. No advertising costs were recorded as assets as of January 31, 2004 or February 1, 2003.

STORE OPENING COSTS The costs of opening new stores are expensed as incurred.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS The Company accounts for impaired long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” This standard prescribes the method for asset impairment evaluation for long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles that are both held and used or to be disposed of. The Company evaluates the ability to recover long-lived assets whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. In the event assets are impaired, losses are recognized to the extent the carrying value exceeds the fair value. In addition, the Company reports assets to be disposed of at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair market value less selling costs.

During the second quarter 2003, the Company, as a result of its ongoing review of the performance of its stores, identified certain stores whose cash flow trend indicated that their carrying value may not be fully recoverable. An impairment charge of $1,371 was recorded for these stores in costs of merchandise sales on the consolidated statement of operations. The charge reflects the difference between these stores’ carrying value and fair value. Fair value was based on sales of similar assets or other estimates of fair value developed by Company management. Management’s judgment is necessary to estimate fair value. Accordingly, actual results could vary from such estimates.

In November 2001, the Company began developing a fully integrated point-of-sale information system for all of its stores. Due to concerns about the ability of the base software’s architecture to support a chain-wide roll-out, the Company decided to identify an alternative base software as the basis for our customized system. Consequently, the Company took a $13,164 impairment charge against a portion of the system’s assets in fiscal 2003. This charge was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statement of operations.

EARNINGS PER SHARE Earnings per share for all periods have been computed in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share.” Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year plus the assumed conversion of dilutive convertible debt and incremental shares that would have been outstanding upon the assumed exercise of dilutive stock options.

ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION At January 31, 2004, the Company has three stock-based employee compensation plans, which are described in full in Note 12, “Stock Option Plans.” The Company accounts for those plans under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board (APB) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net (loss) earnings, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net earnings and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” to stock-based employee compensation:

	January 31, 2004			February 1, 2003			February 2, 2002

Net (loss) earnings:
As reported	$	(33,894	)	$	39,468		$	30,367
Less: Total stock-based compensation expense determined under fair value-based method, net of tax		(2,839	)		(3,510	)		(3,892	)

Pro forma	$	(36,733	)	$	35,958		$	26,475
Net (loss) earnings per share:
Basic:
As reported	$	(.65	)	$	.77		$	.59
Pro forma	$	(.70	)	$	.70		$	.52

Diluted:
As reported	$	(.65	)	$	.74		$	.58
Pro forma	$	(.70	)	$	.67		$	.51

The fair value of each option granted during fiscal years 2003, 2002 and 2001 is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

Year ended	January 31, 2004			February 1, 2003			February 2, 2002

Dividend yield		1.57	%		1.44	%		1.29	%
Expected volatility		41	%		41	%		39	%
Risk-free interest rate range:
High		4.6	%		5.4	%		5.5	%
Low		1.5	%		2.3	%		2.8	%
Ranges of expected lives in years		4-8			4-8			4-8

COMPREHENSIVE (LOSS) INCOME Comprehensive (loss) income is reported in accordance with SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income.” Other comprehensive (loss) income includes minimum pension liability and fair market value of cash flow hedge.

ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES The Company reports derivatives and hedging activities in accordance with SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended by SFAS No. 137, SFAS No. 138 and SFAS No. 149. This statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives), and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value.

SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company reports segment information in accordance with SFAS No. 131, “Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.” The Company operates in one industry, the automotive aftermarket. In accordance with SFAS No. 131, the Company aggregates all of its stores and reports one operating segment. Sales by major product categories are as follows:

Year ended	Jan. 31, 2004		Feb. 1, 2003		Feb. 2, 2002

Parts and Accessories	$	1,392,179	$	1,362,112	$	1,357,603
Tires		336,207		335,516		349,587

Total Merchandise Sales		1,728,386		1,697,628		1,707,190

Service		405,884		400,149		403,505

Total Revenues	$	2,134,270	$	2,097,777	$	2,110,695

Parts and accessories includes batteries, new and rebuilt parts, chemicals, mobile electronics, tools, and various car, truck, van and sport utility vehicle accessories as well as other automotive related items. Service consists of the labor charge for installing merchandise or maintaining or repairing vehicles.

RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In December 2003, the FASB revised Financial Interpretation Number (FIN) 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.” FIN 46, an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements,” changes the criteria by which one company includes another entity in its consolidated financial statements. FIN 46R requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of any expected losses from the variable interest entity’s activities, is entitled to receive any expected residual returns of the variable interest entity, or both. The guidance contained in FIN 46R is effective no later than the end of the first reporting period that ends after March 15, 2004. If an entity has applied the original guidance in this Interpretation prior to the effective date of FIN 46R, the entity shall continue to apply FIN 46 until the effective date or apply this Interpretation at an earlier date. On August 1, 2003, the Company refinanced its real estate operating lease facility, which qualified as a variable interest entity into a new entity. The Company evaluated this leasing transaction in accordance with the original guidance of FIN 46 and determined it does not have to consolidate this leasing entity. The Company has adopted the revised guidance of FIN 46R for variable interest entities created prior to December 31, 2003 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003 with no material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2003, the EITF reached a consensus on EITF 03-10, “Application of Issue No. 02-16 by Resellers to Sales Incentives Offered to Consumers by Manufacturers”. This consensus addresses the application of EITF 02-16, “Accounting by a Customer (Including a Reseller) for Certain Consideration Received from a Vendor”. EITF 02-16 addresses accounting issues pertaining to cash consideration received by a reseller from a vendor entered into after December 31, 2002. The provisions of EITF No. 03-10 would be applied to new arrangements, including modifications to existing arrangements, entered into or redeemed in fiscal periods beginning after November 25, 2003. The Company has adopted the provisions of EITF 03-10 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003 with no material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, “Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections.” As a result of rescinding FASB Statement No. 4, “Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt,” gains and losses from extinguishment of debt should be classified as extraordinary items only if they meet the criteria of APB Opinion No. 30, “Reporting the Results of Operations.” This statement also amends FASB Statement No. 13, “Accounting for Leases,” to eliminate an inconsistency between the required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and the required accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions. Additional amendments include changes to other existing authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify meanings or describe their applicability under changed conditions. The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 145 in the first quarter of fiscal 2003. Accordingly, reclassifications of these items have been made for fiscal 2002 and 2001 to maintain comparability for the reported periods.

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.” SFAS No. 143 addresses accounting standards for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs and is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 143 in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 and has recognized an initial asset of $2,844, accumulated depreciation of $2,247, a liability of $4,540 and a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle before taxes of $3,943 ($2,484 net of tax) on its consolidated financial statements.

RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years’ consolidated financial statements to provide comparability with the current year’s presentation.

NOTE 2 – RESTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Subsequent to the issuance of the Company’s fiscal 2003 financial statements, the Company’s management reviewed its lease-related accounting policies and determined to correct its computation of depreciation, straight-line rent expense and the related deferred rent liability. As a result, on January 30, 2005, our Board of Directors, including our Audit Committee, concluded to restate the Company’s financial statements for the three year period ended January 31, 2004 and for the first three quarters of fiscal 2004.

Historically, when accounting for leases with renewal options, the Company depreciated leasehold improvements on those leased properties over a period that included both the initial lease term and all option periods (or the useful lives of the assets, if shorter). The Company previously recorded rent expense on a straight-line basis over the initial lease term commencing when actual rent payments began. The Company has now determined to use a consistent lease period (generally, the initial lease term) when calculating depreciation of leasehold improvements on leased properties and straight-line rent expense. Straight-line rent expense will commence on the date when the Company becomes legally obligated under the lease.

The primary effect of the corrections will be to accelerate the depreciation of long-lived assets of leased properties where the initial lease term is shorter than the estimated useful economic life of those assets and rental expense on properties we occupied before payment of rents was required. The cumulative effect of the restatement as of February 1, 2003 is a decrease in total property and equipment – net of $58,260, an increase in the deferred rent liability of $ 12,320, a decrease in deferred income tax liability of $27,516 and a decrease in retained earnings of $44,112. The impact of the restatement is an (increase) decrease in net (loss) earnings of $(1,748), $4,332 and $4,968 for fiscal years 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The restatement increased reported diluted loss per share by $0.03, for fiscal 2003 and decreased reported diluted earnings per share by $0.08 and $0.10 for fiscal 2002 and 2001, respectively. The cumulative effect of the restatement for all years prior to fiscal 2001 was $34,812,000, which was recorded as an adjustment to opening stockholders’ equity at February 2, 2002. The restatement did not have any impact on the Company’s previously reported cash flows, sales or comparable sales or on the Company’s compliance with any financial covenant under the Company’s line of credit facility or other debt instruments.

The following is a summary of the significant effects of the restatement on (i) the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at January 31, 2004 and February 1, 2003 and (ii) the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2004, February 1, 2003 and February 2, 2002. We have not presented a summary of the impact of the restatement on the consolidated statements of cash flows for any of the above-referenced fiscal years because the net impact for each such fiscal year is zero.

In November 2003, the Company retired $6,000 of aggregate principal notes with an original maturity date of January 1, 2004.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company reclassified $16,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.67% Medium-Term Notes with a stated maturity date of November 5, 2004 and $35,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.71% Medium-Term Notes with a stated maturity date of November 3, 2004 to current liabilities on the balance sheet.

On August 1, 2003, the Company extended its revolving line of credit, which was set to expire September 22, 2004, to August 1, 2008. Thereafter, it automatically renews for annual periods, unless terminated by either party on 60 days notice prior to the applicable termination date. The line of credit provides up to $226,000 of borrowing availability, subject to certain required reserves, and is collateralized by inventory and accounts receivable. Funds may be drawn and repaid anytime prior to August 1, 2008. The loans bear interest at a rate equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 2.00%, subject to 0.25% incremental increases as excess availability under the line of credit falls below $50,000. The line of credit is subject to financial covenants. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings under the revolving credit agreement was 3.4% and 3.8% at January 31, 2004 and February 1, 2003, respectively.

On May 15, 2003, upon maturity, the Company retired $75,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.625% notes.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company reclassified $32,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.75% Medium-Term Notes with a stated maturity date of March 10, 2004 and $25,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.65% Medium-Term Notes with a stated maturity date of March 3, 2004 to current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company retired $42,875 aggregate principal amount of the remaining $43,005 of the Medium-Term Notes with an original maturity date of September 2007. These notes were redeemed at the option of the holders.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company retired $49,915 aggregate principal amount of the $50,000 Medium-Term Notes with an original maturity date of July 2007. These notes were redeemed at the option of the holders.

In June 2001, the Company obtained $90,000 in a Senior Secured Credit Facility, which was satisfied in full on April 1, 2004. The Facility, which was secured by certain equipment and real estate with a total book value as of January 31, 2004 of $103,104, was issued in two tranches. Tranche A was a term loan for $45,000 with an interest rate based on LIBOR plus 3.65%. Tranche A was structured as a two-year term loan payable in equal installments with the final payment made in fiscal 2003. The weighted average interest rate on Tranche A was 4.98% at January 31, 2004 and 5.5% at February 1, 2003. Tranche B was a term loan for $45,000 with an interest rate of LIBOR plus 3.95%. Tranche B was structured as a five-year term loan payable in equal installments with the final payment due in 2006. The weighted average interest rate on Tranche B was 5.18% at January 31, 2004 and 5.8% at February 1, 2003. The Senior Secured Credit Facility was subject to certain financial covenants.

In February 1998, the Company established a Medium-Term Note program which permitted the Company to issue up to $200,000 of Medium-Term Notes. Under this program the Company sold $100,000 principal amount of Senior Notes, ranging in annual interest rates from 6.7% to 6.9% and due March 2004 and March 2006. Additionally, in July 1998, under this note program, the Company sold $100,000 of Term Enhanced ReMarketable Securities with a stated maturity date of July 2016. The Company also sold a call option with the securities, which allows the securities to be remarketed to the public in July 2006 under certain circumstances. If the securities are not remarketed, the Company will be obligated to repay the principal amount in full in July 2016. The level yield to maturity on the securities is approximately 6.85% and the coupon rate is 6.92%.

The other notes payable have a weighted average interest rate of 5.1% at January 31, 2004 and 5.7% at February 1, 2003, and mature at various times through August 2016. Certain of these notes are collateralized by land and buildings with an aggregate carrying value of approximately $6,766 and $6,995 at January 31, 2004 and February 1, 2003, respectively.

Interest on the notes is payable by the Company on June 1 and December 1 of each year.

Several of the Company’s debt agreements require the maintenance of certain financial ratios and compliance with covenants. The most restrictive of these covenants, a net worth restriction, was eliminated by amendment on December 2, 2004 and replaced by an EBITDA restriction. As of January 31, 2004 and after giving effect to the Restatement, the Company was in compliance with such EBITDA restriction and all other covenants contained in its debt agreements.

NOTE 6—LEASE AND OTHER COMMITMENTS

On August 1, 2003, the Company refinanced $132,000 in operating leases. These leases, which expire on August 1, 2008, have lease payments with an effective rate of LIBOR plus 2.06%. The Company has evaluated this transaction in accordance with the original guidance of FIN 46 and has determined that it is not required to consolidate the leasing entity. The leases include a residual value guarantee with a maximum value of approximately $105,000. The Company expects the fair market value of the leased real estate to substantially reduce or eliminate the Company’s payment under the residual guarantee at the end of the lease term.

In accordance with FIN 45, the Company has recorded a liability for the fair value of the guarantee related to this operating lease. As of January 31, 2004, the current value of this liability was $4,488, which is recorded in other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

In May 2001, the Company sold certain operating assets for $14,000. The assets were leased back from the purchaser in a lease structured as a one-year term with three one-year renewal options. The resulting lease is being accounted for as an operating lease and the gain of $3,817 from the sale of the certain operating assets is deferred until the lease term is completed and the residual guarantee is satisfied, at which time the gain will be recorded in costs of merchandise sales and costs of service revenue.

The Company leases certain property and equipment under operating leases and capital leases which contain renewal and escalation clauses. Future minimum rental payments for noncancelable operating leases and capital leases in effect as of January 31, 2004 are shown in the table below. All amounts are exclusive of lease obligations and sublease rentals applicable to stores for which reserves, in conjunction with the restructuring, have previously been established. The aggregate minimum rental payments for such leases having initial terms of more than one year are approximately:

Rental expenses incurred for operating leases in fiscal years 2003, 2002 and 2001 were $63,806, $61,282 and $63,198, respectively.

In October 2001, the Company entered into a contractual commitment to purchase media advertising services with equal annual purchase requirements totaling $39,773 over four years. As of January 31, 2004, the Company was obligated to purchase an outstanding balance of $15,569. The minimum required purchases for each of the remaining two years of this commitment are as follows: 2004—$8,112; 2005—$7,457.

NOTE 7—STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

SHARE REPURCHASE—TREASURY STOCK On February 1, 1999, the Company repurchased 11,276,698 of its common shares outstanding pursuant to a Dutch Auction self-tender offer at a price of $16.00 per share. The repurchased shares included 1,276,698 common shares which were repurchased as a result of the Company exercising its option to purchase an additional 2% of its outstanding shares. Expenses related to the share repurchase were approximately $1,638 and were included as part of the cost of the shares acquired. A portion of the treasury shares will be used by the Company to provide benefits to employees under its compensation plans and in conjunction with the Company’s dividend reinvestment program. As of January 31, 2004, the Company has reflected 8,928,159 shares of its common stock at a cost of $144,148 as “cost of shares in treasury” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

RIGHTS AGREEMENT On December 31, 1997, the Company distributed as a dividend one common share purchase right on each of its common shares. The rights will not be exercisable or transferable apart from the Company’s common stock until a person or group, as defined in the rights agreement (dated December 5, 1997), without the proper consent of the Company’s Board of Directors, acquires 15% or more, or makes an offer to acquire 15% or more of the Company’s outstanding stock. When exercisable, the rights entitle the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock for $125. Under certain circumstances, including the acquisition of 15% of the Company’s stock by a person or group, the rights entitle the holder to purchase common stock of the Company or common stock of an acquiring company having a market value of twice the exercise price of the right. The rights do not have voting power and are subject to redemption by the Company’s Board of Directors for $.01 per right anytime before a 15% position has been acquired and for 10 days thereafter, at which time the rights become non-redeemable. The rights expire on December 31, 2007.

BENEFITS TRUST On April 29, 1994, the Company established a flexible employee benefits trust with the intention of purchasing up to $75,000 worth of the Company’s common shares. The repurchased shares will be held in the trust and will be used to fund the Company’s existing benefit plan obligations including healthcare programs, savings and retirement plans and other benefit obligations. The trust will allocate or sell the repurchased shares through 2023 to fund these benefit programs. As shares are released from the trust, the Company will charge or credit additional paid-in capital for the difference between the fair value of shares released and the original cost of the shares to the trust. For financial reporting purposes, the trust is consolidated with the accounts of the Company. All dividend and interest transactions between the trust and the Company are eliminated. In connection with the Dutch Auction self-tender offer, 37,230 shares were tendered at a price of $16.00 per share in fiscal 1999. At January 31, 2004, the Company has reflected 2,195,270 shares of its common stock at a cost of $59,264 as “cost of shares in benefits trust” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

NOTE 8—RESTRUCTURING

Building upon the Profit Enhancement Plan launched in October 2000, the Company, during fiscal 2003, conducted a comprehensive review of its operations including individual store performance, the entire management infrastructure and its merchandise and service offerings. On July 31, 2003, the Company announced several initiatives aimed at realigning its business and continuing to improve upon the Company’s profitability. The Company expects these actions, including the disposal and sublease of the Company’s real properties, to be substantially completed by the end of the second quarter 2004 and estimates the costs, including future costs that were not accrued, to be approximately $66,752. The Company is accounting for these initiatives in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 146 “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities” and SFAS No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. These initiatives included:

Closure of 33 under-performing stores on July 31, 2003

The charges related to these closures included a $31,237 write-down of fixed assets, $424 in long-term lease and other related obligations, net of subleases, and $980 in workforce reduction costs. These charges are included in discontinued operations of the consolidated statement of operations. The write-down of fixed assets includes the adjustment to the market value of those owned stores that are now classified as assets held for disposal in accordance with

SFAS 144 and the write-down of leasehold improvements. The assets held for disposal have been valued at the lower of their carrying amount or their estimated fair value, net of disposal costs. The long-term lease and other related obligations represent the fair value of such obligations less the estimated net sublease income. The workforce reduction costs represent the involuntary termination benefits payable to approximately 900 store employees, all of who were notified on or prior to July 31, 2003. Severance for these employees was accrued in accordance with SFAS 146. Approximately 61% of these employees were terminated as of November 1, 2003. The remaining employees accepted other positions within the Company subsequent to the July 31, 2003 notification date. The accrued severance of $557 related to employees that accepted other positions was reversed in the third quarter of fiscal 2003. An additional $187 in accrued severance was reversed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003 for a change in the estimate of severance payable. These reversals were recorded in discontinued operations on the consolidated statement of operations.

Discontinuation of certain merchandise offerings

In the second quarter, the Company recorded a $24,580 write-down of inventory as a result of a decision to discontinue certain merchandising offerings. This write-down was recorded in cost of merchandise sales on the consolidated statement of operations.

Corporate realignment

The charges related to this realignment included $3,070 in workforce reduction costs, $2,543 of expenses incurred in the development of the restructuring plan, a $536 write-down of certain assets and $467 in costs related to two warehouse lease terminations. The workforce reduction costs represent the involuntary termination benefits payable to 150 Store Support Center employees and field managers. All of these employees were terminated as of November 1, 2003. The realignment charges were recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses and cost of merchandise sales on the consolidated statement of operations.

NOTE 11—PENSION AND SAVINGS PLANS

The Company has a defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all of its full-time employees hired on or before February 1, 1992. Normal retirement age is 65. Pension benefits are based on salary and years of service. The Company’s policy is to fund amounts as are necessary on an actuarial basis to provide assets sufficient to meet the benefits to be paid to plan members in accordance with the requirements of ERISA.

The actuarial computations are made using the “projected unit credit method.” Variances between actual experience and assumptions for costs and returns on assets are amortized over the remaining service lives of employees under the plan.

As of December 31, 1996, the Company froze the accrued benefits under the plan and active participants became fully vested. The plan’s trustee will continue to maintain and invest plan assets and will administer benefit payments.

The Company also has a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP). This unfunded plan provides key employees designated by the Board of Directors with retirement and death benefits. Retirement benefits are based on salary and bonuses; death benefits are based on salary. Benefits paid to a participant under the defined pension plan are deducted from the benefits otherwise payable under the SERP.

Effective March 25, 2002, the Company modified the benefit formula of the SERP. These modifications resulted in a $2,101 change in benefit obligation in fiscal 2002.

In fiscal 2003, the Company settled an obligation of $12,620 related to the SERP obligation for the former Chairman and CEO. Also, the Company curtailed the benefits for 15 covered individuals as of January 31, 2004, and transferred a portion of their accrued benefits to a new defined contribution plan. These obligations resulted in an expense under SFAS No. 88, “Employers’ Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits,” of approximately $5,231 and $2,191 respectively in fiscal 2003.

Pension expense includes the following:

The following actuarial assumptions were used by the Company to determine pension expense and to present disclosure benefit obligations:

Year ended	January 31, 2004			February 1, 2003

Weighted-Average Assumptions as of December 31:
Discount rate		6.25	%		6.75	%
Rate of compensation expense⁽¹⁾		N/A	⁽¹⁾		N/A	⁽²⁾
Weighted-Average Assumptions for Net Periodic Benefit Cost Development:
Discount rate		6.75	%		7.25	%
Expected return on plan assets		6.75	%		8.50	%
Rate of compensation expense		N/A	⁽¹⁾		N/A	⁽²⁾
Measurement Date		December 31			December 31

⁽¹⁾ Rate of compensation increase assumption is 4.0% for the executive supplemental plan (bonuses are assumed to be a fixed percentage of base pay depending upon officer level).

⁽²⁾ Rate of compensation increase assumption is 4.0% for the executive supplemental plan.

To develop the expected long-term rate of return on assets assumption, the Company considered the historical returns and the future expectations for returns for each asset class, as well as the target asset allocation of the pension portfolio. This resulted in the selection of the 6.75% long-term rate of return on assets assumption.

Pension plan assets are stated at fair market value and are composed primarily of money market funds, stock index funds, fixed income investments with maturities of less than five years, and the Company’s common stock.

Weighted average asset allocation by asset category are as follows:

Plan Assets	As of 12/31/2003			As of 12/31/2002

Equity securities		53	%		44	%
Debt securities		0	%		0	%
Fixed income		47	%		56	%

Equity securities include Pep Boys common stock in the amounts of $1.3 million (3.6% of total plan assets) and $0.6 million (2.1% of total plan assets) at December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively.

The Company has 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 $4,073, $4,417, and $4,516 in fiscal 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

NOTE 12—NET EARNINGS PER SHARE

For fiscal years 2003, 2002 and 2001, basic earnings per share are based on net earnings divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share assumes conversion of convertible senior notes, zero coupon convertible subordinated notes and the dilutive effects of stock options. Adjustments for the zero coupon convertible subordinated notes were anti-dilutive in fiscal 2001, and therefore excluded from the computation of diluted EPS; the zero coupon convertible subordinated notes were retired as of the end of fiscal 2001 and will not effect future calculations. Adjustments for the convertible senior notes and stock options were anti-dilutive in fiscal 2003 and therefore excluded from the calculation due to the Company’s Net Loss for the year. Options to purchase 4,313,020, 4,588,670 and 3,940,587 shares of common stock were outstanding at January 31, 2004, February 1, 2003 and February 2, 2002, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the options’ exercise prices were greater than the average market prices of the common shares on such dates.

The following schedule presents the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for net (loss) earnings from continuing operations:

NOTE 13—STOCK OPTION PLANS

Options to purchase the Company’s common stock have been granted to key employees and members of the Board of Directors. The option prices are at least 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the grant date.

On May 21, 1990, the stockholders approved the 1990 Stock Incentive Plan, which authorized the issuance of restricted stock and/or options to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Additional shares in the amounts of 2,000,000, 1,500,000 and 1,500,000 were authorized by stockholders on June 4, 1997, May 31, 1995 and June 1, 1993, respectively. In April 2001, the Board of Directors amended the 1990 Stock Incentive Plan to extend the expiration date for the grant of non-qualified stock options and restricted stock thereunder to directors, officers and employees until March 31, 2005. Under this plan, both incentive and non-qualified stock options may be granted to eligible participants.

Non-qualified options are fully exercisable on the third anniversary of their grant date or become exercisable over a four-year period with one-fifth exercisable on the grant date and one-fifth on each anniversary date for the four years following the grant date. Options cannot be exercised more than ten years after the grant date. As of January 31, 2004, 321,312 remain available for grant.

On June 2, 1999 the stockholders approved the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan, which authorized the issuance of restricted stock and/or options to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Additional shares in the amount of 2,500,000 were authorized by stockholders on May 29, 2002. Under this plan, both incentive and non-qualified stock options may be granted to eligible participants. The incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options are fully exercisable on the third anniversary of the grant date or become exercisable over a four-year period with one-fifth exercisable on the grant date and one-fifth on each anniversary date for the four years following the grant date. Options cannot be exercised more than ten years after the grant date. As of January 31, 2004, there are 1,182,692 shares remaining available for grant.

On April 28, 2003, the Company adopted a stand alone inducement stock option plan, which authorized the issuance of options to purchase up to 174,540 shares of the Company’s common stock to the Chief Executive Officer in connection with his hire. The non-qualified stock options are exercisable over a four-year period with one-fifth exercisable on the grant date and one-fifth on each anniversary date for the four years following the grant date. Options cannot be exercised more than ten years after the grant date. As of January 31, 2004, there are no shares remaining available for grant.

NOTE 14—ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATION

The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations”, in the first quarter of fiscal 2003. SFAS No. 143 requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. SFAS No. 143 also requires the capitalization of any retirement obligation costs as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset and the subsequent allocation of the total expense to future periods using a systematic and rational method. Upon adoption, the Company recorded a non-cash charge to earnings of $3,943 ($2,484 net of tax) for the cumulative effect of this accounting change. This charge was related to retirement obligations associated with certain equipment used in the Company’s service operation. In addition, the Company initially recognized an asset of $2,844, accumulated depreciation of $2,247 and a liability of $4,540 on its consolidated balance sheet.

At January 31, 2004, the Company has a liability pertaining to the asset retirement obligation in accrued expenses on its consolidated balance sheet. The following is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending carrying amount of the Company’s asset retirement obligation as of January 31, 2004:

Asset retirement obligation, February 1, 2003	$	—
Asset retirement obligation recognized upon adoption		4,540
Asset retirement obligation incurred during the period		246
Asset retirement obligation settled during the period		(89	)
Accretion expense		204

Asset retirement obligation, January 31, 2004	$	4,901

Had the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 143 prior to February 2, 2003, the amount of the asset retirement obligations on a pro forma basis would have been as follows:

Asset retirement obligation, February 2, 2002		$	4,156
Asset retirement obligation, February 1, 2003		$	4,540

The following table summarizes the pro forma net earnings and earnings per share for the fiscal periods ended February 1, 2003 and February 2, 2002, had the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 143 prior to February 2, 2003:

NOTE 16—CONTINGENCIES

NOTE 17—INTEREST RATE SWAP AGREEMENT

On June 3, 2003, the Company entered into an interest rate swap for a notional amount of $130,000. The Company has designated the swap as a cash flow hedge of the Company’s real estate operating lease payments. The interest rate swap converts the variable LIBOR portion of these lease payments to a fixed rate of 2.90% and terminates on July 1, 2008. 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 January 31, 2004, the fair value of the interest rate swap was $2,195, ($1,389, net of tax) and this change in value was included in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

NOTE 18—FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments are as follows:

Senior convertible notes		150,000		174,600		150,000		133,125

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS, ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ACCOUNTS PAYABLE

The carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these items.

CASH FLOW HEDGE DERIVATIVE

The fair value of the interest rate swap designated by the Company as a cash flow hedge is obtained from dealer quotes. This value represents the estimated amount the Company would receive or pay to terminate agreements, taking into consideration current interest rates and the creditworthiness of the counterparties.

LONG-TERM DEBT INCLUDING CURRENT MATURITIES AND SENIOR CONVERTIBLE NOTES

Interest rates that are currently available to the Company for issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate fair value for debt issues that are not quoted on an exchange.

The fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information available to management as of January 31, 2004 and February 1, 2003. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the estimated fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since those dates, and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from amounts presented herein.

NOTE 19—SUBSEQUENT EVENT

None.

ITEM 9A CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s chief executive officer and principal 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 principal 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. A controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

In connection with the restatement and the filing of this Form 10-K/A, the Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s chief executive officer and principal financial officer, re-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 principal 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 Controls

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