NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note A - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and therefore do not
include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of
financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. Except as disclosed herein, there has
been no material change in the information disclosed in the notes to the
consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of
Genuine Parts Company for the year ended December 31, 2000. Accordingly, the
quarterly financial statements and related disclosures should be read in
conjunction with the 2000 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The preparation of interim financial statements requires management to make
estimates and assumptions for the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated
financial statements. Specifically, the Company makes estimates in its interim
financial statements for certain inventory adjustments and volume rebates
earned. Volume rebates are estimated based upon cumulative and projected
purchasing levels. Inventory adjustments are estimated on an interim basis and
adjusted in the fourth quarter to reflect year-end valuation and book to
physical results. The estimates for interim reporting may change upon final
determination at year-end, and such changes may be significant.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to a fair statement of
the operations of the interim period have been made. These adjustments are of a
normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the three months ended
March 31, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year.

management purposes, net sales by segment excludes the effect of certain
discounts, incentives and freight billed to customers. The line item "other"
represents the net effect of the discounts, incentives and freight billed to
customers which are reported as a component of net sales in the Company's
consolidated statements of income.

Note C - Comprehensive Income
Total comprehensive income was $70,846,000 and $88,200,000 for the three month
periods ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The difference between
total comprehensive income and net income was due to foreign currency
translation adjustments and adjustments to the fair value of derivative
instruments resulting from the adoption of SFAS 133 (See Note D - New Accounting
Pronouncements), as detailed below:

========== ==========
Note D - New Accounting Pronouncements
The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements to manage interest rate
risk, thereby reducing exposure to future interest rate movements. Under
interest rate swap agreements, the parties agree to exchange, at specific
intervals, the difference between the fixed rate and floating rate interest
amounts calculated by reference to an agreed notional amount.
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 ("SFAS 133"), "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities". This statement requires the fair value of
derivatives to be recorded as assets or liabilities. Gains or losses resulting
from changes in the fair values of derivatives would be accounted for currently
in earnings or comprehensive income depending on the purpose of the derivatives
and whether they qualify for hedge accounting treatment. The Company adopted
SFAS 133 on January 1, 2001. The adoption resulted in a $6,226,000 charge to
other comprehensive income, net of tax, from a cumulative effect of a change in
accounting principle, and a corresponding decrease in shareholders' equity in
the Company's financial statements as of January 1, 2001. This adoption had no
significant effect on net income.
The fair value of the liability for all such interest rate swap agreements was
approximately $9,579,000 on January 1, 2001 and $19,330,000 at March 31, 2001.
In 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin
No. 101 "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements", ("SAB 101"). SAB 101,
which was required to be adopted in the fourth quarter of 2000, had no impact on
the Company's revenue recognition policies.
Item 2.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
Sales for the quarter were $2.0 billion, down 1% over the same period in 2000.
Net income in the quarter was down 2.7% to $89.3 million. On a per-share diluted
basis, net income in the quarter was 52(cent), even with the same quarter of the
prior year.
Sales for the Automotive Parts Group decreased 2% for the quarter. The sales
decrease is attributed to a weakening of the economy. Sales for the Industrial
Parts Group decreased 2% for the quarter reflecting reduced production in the
industrial sector. The Office Products Group was up 10% for the quarter
reflecting increased product offerings, new marketing programs and an expanded
customer base. Sales for EIS, the Electrical/Electronic Materials Group,
decreased 11% for the quarter due to a reduction in the manufacture of
electrical products. Cost of goods sold stayed consistent as a percentage of
sales and decreased 1% in total in line with the sales decrease. Selling,
administrative and other expenses increased 2% for the quarter and the
percentage of selling, administrative and other expenses to net sales increased
slightly, reflecting higher operating costs including salaries and freight
expenses.
The Company is currently a party to several interest rate swap agreements. The
change in the fair value of these agreements in the first quarter of 2001 was
$9.75 million.
The ratio of current assets to current liabilities is 3.2 to 1 and the Company's
cash position is good.
