THE PEP BOYS - MANNY, MOE & JACK AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
The consolidated balance sheets as of May 1, 2004, the consolidated
statements of operations for the thirteen week periods ended May 1, 2004 and
May 3, 2003 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the thirteen
week periods ended May 1, 2004 and May 3, 2003 have been prepared by the
Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary
to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows
at May 1, 2004 and for all periods presented have been made.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these
condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2004. The results of
operations for the thirteen week period ended May 1, 2004 are not necessarily
indicative of the operating results for the full year.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year's consolidated
financial statements to conform to the current year's presentation.
NOTE 2. Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for its stock-based employee compensation plans in
accordance with the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting
Principles Board (APB) No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,"
and related interpretations. For all stock option plans, no stock-based
employee compensation cost is reflected in net 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. In the first quarter of 2004,
the Company issued restricted stock unit awards to certain employees. The
recorded expense for these awards under the intrinsic method was $698,000
($439,000,net of tax) for the thirteen weeks ended May 1, 2004. The following
table illustrates the effect on net earnings and earnings per share if the
Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," to stock-based employee compensation:
(dollar amounts in thousands,
except per share amounts)
Thirteen weeks ended May 1, 2004 May 3, 2003
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net (loss) earnings:
As reported $ 15,660 $ (9,217)
Add: Stock compensation expense,
net of tax 439 -
Less: Total stock-based compensation
expense determined under fair
value-based method, net of tax (1,302) (811)
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pro forma $ 14,797 $(10,028)
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net earnings (loss) per share:

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Diluted:

Pro forma $ .25 $ (.19)
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The fair value of each option granted during the periods ending May 1, 2004
and May 3, 2003 is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:
Thirteen weeks ended May 1, 2004 May 3, 2003
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
Dividend yield 1.67% 1.57%
Expected volatility 41% 42%
Risk-free interest rate range:
high 4.07% 5.3%
low 1.97% 2.0%
Ranges of expected lives in years 4-8 4-8
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 3. New Accounting Standards
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-based
Compensation - Transition and Disclosure, an Amendment of FASB Statement
No. 123," to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change
to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation. We
have adopted the disclosure requirements of this statement. In March 2004,
the FASB issued a proposed SFAS - "Share-based Payment: an Amendment of FASB
Statements No. 123 and 95." The proposed standard would require companies to
expense share-based payments to employees, including stock options, based on
the fair value of the award at the grant date. The proposed statement would
eliminate the intrinsic value method of accounting for stock options permitted
by APB (Accounting Principles Board) No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees," which we currently follow. We will continue to monitor the actions
of the FASB and assess the impact, if any, on our consolidated financial
statements.
NOTE 4. Merchandise Inventories
Merchandise inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is
determined using the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method. An actual valuation
of inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at the end of each fiscal
year based on inventory and costs at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO
calculations must be based on management's estimates of expected fiscal
year-end inventory levels and costs. Replacement cost, which approximates FIFO
cost was $578,151,000 and $531,830,000 at May 1, 2004 and January 31, 2004,
respectively.
NOTE 5. Accrued Expenses
The Company's accrued expenses for the periods ending May 1, 2004 and
January 31, 2004 were as follows:
(dollar amounts in thousands) May 1, 2004 Jan. 31, 2004

NOTE 7. 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 $71,000,000. 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 SFAS No. 144 "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets."
Reserve Summary

the operating results for the 33 stores closed on July 31, 2003 as part of the
Company's corporate restructuring. The results for the thirteen weeks ended
May 1, 2004 and May 3, 2003 have been reclassified to show the results of
operations for the 33 closed stores as discontinued operations. Below is a

been made. The Company anticipates no change in expected total contributions
for fiscal 2004.
The Company has 401(k) savings plans which cover all full-time employees who

On January 31, 2004, the Company amended and restated its Executive
Supplemental Retirement Plan (SERP). This amendment converted the

Adjustments for the convertible senior notes were anti-dilutive during the
thirteen week period ended May 3, 2003 and therefore excluded from the
computation of diluted EPS. Options to purchase 942,000 and 5,575,000 shares
of common stock were outstanding at May 1, 2004 and May 3, 2003, respectively,
but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the options'
exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares
on such dates. Restricted stock units of 124,000 equivalent shares were
anti-dilutive and excluded from the calculation during the period ended
May 1, 2004.

NOTE 14. Contingencies
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 appealed.
The Company continues to believe that the claims are without merit and to
vigorously defend this matter.
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.
NOTE 15. Sale of Common Stock
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 of $108,909,000.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
OVERVIEW
- --------
The Pep Boys - Manny, Moe & Jack is a leader in the automotive aftermarket with
595 stores located throughout 36 states and Puerto Rico. All of our stores
feature the nationally-recognized Pep Boys brand name, established through
more than 80 years of providing high-quality automotive merchandise and
services, and are company-owned, ensuring chain-wide consistency for our
customers. We are the only national chain offering automotive service,
accessories, tires and parts under one roof, positioning us to achieve our goal
of becoming the category dominant one-stop shop for automotive maintenance and
accessories.
For the thirteen weeks ended May 1, 2004, our comparative sales increased by
11.0% compared to (5.4)% for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2003. This
increase in comparable sales is due primarily to new product offerings and
increased overall foot traffic at our stores.
On March 24, 2004, we successfully completed a common stock offering for net
proceeds of $108,909,000. We have used the proceeds from this stock sale to
repay the outstanding balance under our 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 10,2003 and prepay
$20,919,000 aggregate principal amount outstanding under our senior secured
(equipment and real estate) credit facility. The remaining balance will be
applied to store redesigns.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2004, we have begun to reinvest in our
existing stores to completely redesign their interiors and enhance their
exterior appeal. Our new interior design will feature four distinct
merchandising worlds: accessories (fashion, electronic and performance
merchandise), maintenance (hard parts and chemicals), garage (repair shop and
travel) and service (including tire, wheel and accessory installation).
We believe that this layout will provide customers with a clear and concise way
of finding what they need and will promote cross-selling. The most important of
these changes will be to move all of our service desks and waiting areas inside
the retail stores adjacent to our tire offering displays. We also are planning
modifications to the exterior of our stores that are designed to increase
customer traffic.
The following discussion explains the material changes in our results of
operations for the thirteen weeks ended May 1, 2004 and May 3, 2003 and the
significant developments affecting our financial condition since
January 31, 2004. We strongly recommend that you read our audited financial
statements and footnotes and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2004.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - May 1, 2004
- ------------------------------------------------
For the thirteen weeks ended May 1, 2004, we increased our cash and cash
equivalents by $37,782,000 from the balance at January 31, 2004. This increase
was due primarily to net proceeds from our March 24, 2004 common stock offering
and an increase in accounts payable offset, in part, by the increase in
merchandise inventories, the reduction of long-term debt and the payment of a
legal settlement.
We have used the $108,909,000 net proceeds from the common stock offering to
repay the outstanding balance under our 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 prepay
$20,919,000 aggregate principal amount outstanding under our senior secured
(equipment and real estate) credit facility. The remaining balance will be
applied to store redesigns.
Our cash requirements arise principally from the capital expenditures related
to existing stores, offices and warehouses and to purchase inventory. The
primary capital expenditures for the thirteen weeks ended May 1, 2004 were
attributed to capital maintenance of our existing stores and offices. We
invested $7,683,000 in property and equipment, which is a 10% decrease compared
to the same period in the previous fiscal year. Management estimates that
capital expenditures related to existing stores, warehouses and offices during
the remainder of fiscal 2004 will be approximately $72,695,000, related
primarily to the redesign of our existing stores.
We anticipate that our net cash provided by operating activities, the net
proceeds from our common stock offering and our existing line of credit will
exceed our principal cash requirements for capital expenditures and inventory
purchases in fiscal 2004.
Working Capital increased from $76,227,000 at January 31, 2004 to $206,833,000
at May 1, 2004. At May 1, 2004, we had stockholders' equity of $744,446,000 and
long-term debt, net of current maturities, of $394,552,000. Our long-term debt
was 35% of our total capitalization at May 1, 2004 and 40% at January 31, 2004.
As of May 1, 2004, we had an available line of credit totaling $179,136,000.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2004, we prepaid $20,919,000 aggregate
principal amount of our Senior Secured Credit Facility with a stated maturity
date of July 1, 2006. This prepayment was funded out of cash from operations
and our existing revolving credit facility.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2004, we retired $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. These notes were retired with cash from
operations and our existing revolving credit facility.
In the first quarter of 2004, we entered into arrangements with certain of our
vendors and banks to extend payment terms on certain merchandise purchases.
Under this program, the bank makes payments to the vendor based upon a
negotiated discount rate between the parties and we make a payment of the full
payable to the bank at the extended payment term. As of May 1, 2004, there was
$4,505,000 outstanding under these arrangements, which was recorded in short-
term borrowings on the consolidated balance sheets.
In the third quarter of 2003, 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 from
cash from operations and its existing line of credit.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
- ------------------------------
There have been no material changes to off-balance sheet arrangements as
reflected in the Management's Discussion and Analysis in the Company's 2003
annual report on Form 10-K.
21
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 $71,000,000. 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".
Reserve Summary

operating results for the 33 stores closed on July 31, 2003 as part of the
Company's corporate restructuring. The results for the thirteen weeks ended
May 1, 2004 and May 3, 2003 have been reclassified to show the results of
operations for the 33 closed stores as discontinued operations. Below is a

Thirteen Weeks Ended May 1, 2004 vs. Thirteen Weeks Ended May 3, 2003
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2004 increased 10.8% from the
first quarter of fiscal 2003. This increase was due primarily to an increase in
comparable store revenues (revenues generated by stores in operation during the
same period) of 11.0%. Comparable store merchandise sales increased 12.3%,
while comparable store service revenue increased 5.6%.
Gross profit from merchandise sales increased, as a percentage of merchandise
sales, to 29.7% in fiscal 2004 from 29.4% in fiscal 2003. This increase, as a
percentage of merchandise sales, was due primarily to a decrease in store
occupancy costs offset, in part, by an increase in warehousing costs and a
decrease in merchandise margins, as a percentage of merchandise sales. The
decrease in store occupancy costs, as a percentage of merchandise sales, was a
result of lower rent and building maintenance expenses. The increase in
warehousing costs, as a percentage of merchandise sales, was a result of
increased hauling and rent expenses. The decrease in merchandise margins was a
result of slightly lower POS margins due to the mix shift into newer
transportation and garage categories.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased, as a percentage of
total revenues, to 23.0% in fiscal 2004 from 28.9% in fiscal 2003. This was a
12.3% or $18,215,000 decrease from the prior year's quarter. This decrease, as
a percentage of total revenues, was due primarily to a decrease in general
office and benefit costs offset, in part, by an increase in net media expenses.
The decrease in general office costs and employee benefits was due primarily to
the impact of a charge made in the first quarter of 2003 for $20,000,000 to
legal reserves and $5,231,000 to benefits for a settlement of a retirement plan
obligation, respectively. The increase in net media expense was due primarily
to increased radio and circular advertising expense and a decrease in
cooperative advertising.
Interest expense decreased 13.1% due primarily to lower debt levels coupled
with lower average interest rates.
Results from discontinued operations for 2004 was a loss of $531,000 (net of
tax) compared to income of $594,000 (net of tax) in 2003. The change was due
primarily to the discontinued stores being in operation in the first quarter of
2003. The loss recorded in 2004 is primarily related to the costs for lease
and maintenance of stores closed in the second quarter of 2003.
Net earnings increased, as a percentage of total revenues, due primarily to
a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of
total revenues, the impact of a net charge for the cumulative effect of a
change in accounting principle for the adoption of SFAS No. 143, "Accounting
for Asset Retirement Obligations" recorded in fiscal 2003, a decrease in
interest expense and an increase in gross profit from merchandise sales, as a
percentage of merchandise sales.

INDUSTRY COMPARISON
- --------------------
The Company operates in the U.S. automotive aftermarket, which 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.

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.
26
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
- ------------------------
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-based
Compensation - Transition and Disclosure, an Amendment of FASB Statement
No. 123," to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change
to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation. We
have adopted the disclosure requirements of this statement. In March 2004,
the FASB issued a proposed SFAS - "Share-based Payment: an Amendment of FASB
Statements No. 123 and 95." The proposed standard would require companies to
expense share-based payments to employees, including stock options, based on
the fair value of the award at the grant date. The proposed statement would
eliminate the intrinsic value method of accounting for stock options permitted
by APB (Accounting Principles Board) No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees," which we currently follow. We will continue to monitor the actions
of the FASB and assess the impact, if any, on our consolidated financial
statements.
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. 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. For a detailed
discussion of significant accounting policies that may involve a higher degree
of judgment or complexity, refer to "-Critical Accounting Policies and
Estimates" as reported in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended
January 31, 2004, which disclosures are hereby incorporated by reference.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
- --------------------------
Certain statements contained herein constitute "forward-looking statements"
within the meaning of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
The words "guidance," "expect," "anticipate," "estimates," "forecasts" and
similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements include management's expectations regarding future
financial performance, automotive aftermarket trends, levels of competition,
business development activities, future capital expenditures, financing sources
and availability and the effects of regulation and litigation. Although the
Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking
statements are based on reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that
its expectations will be achieved. The Company's actual results may differ
materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements due to
factors beyond the control of the Company, 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 the Company's
stores, competitive pricing, the location and number of competitors' stores,
product and labor costs and the additional factors described in the Company's
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The Company assumes
no obligation to update or supplement forward-looking statements that become
untrue because of subsequent events.
27
Item 3. 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, changes in the London Interbank
Offered Rate (LIBOR) could affect the rates at which the Company could borrow
funds thereunder. At May 1, 2004, the Company had outstanding borrowings of
$10,000 under this facility. Additionally, we have $132,000,000 of real estate
operating leases which vary based on changes in LIBOR. We have entered into an
interest rate swap, which was designated as a cash flow hedge to convert the
variable LIBOR portion of 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 May 1, 2004, the fair value of the interest rate swap was
$3,877,000 ($2,449,000 net of tax) and this change in value was included in
accumulated other comprehensive income on the consolidated balance sheet.
Item 4. 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.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
No change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting occurred
during the fiscal quarter covered by this report that has materially affected,
or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control
over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
- ---------------------------
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
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 appealed. The Company continues to
believe that the claims are without merit and to vigorously defend
this matter.
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.
