NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
March 31, 1998


1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 1998 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ended December 31, 1998. For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the O'Reilly Automotive,
Inc. and Subsidiaries' annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1997.

2. Debt

In connection with the acquisition of Hi-Lo Automotive, Inc. ("Hi/LO") in
January 1998, the Company replaced its lines of credit with new, unsecured
credit facilities totaling $175 million. The facilities are comprised of a $125
million five-year revolving credit facility which includes a $5 million sublimit
for the issuance of letters of credit and a $50 million five-year term loan
facility. These credit facilities are guaranteed by the subsidiaries of the
Company and currently bear interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate
("LIBOR") plus 0.875%. The Company is required to meet various financial
covenants as defined in the credit agreement.

3. Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information ("Statement 131"), which is effective for
years beginning after December 15, 1997. Statement 131 establishes standards for
the way that public business enterprises report information about operating
segments in annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises
report selected information about operating segments in interim financial
reports. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about products
and services, geographic areas, and major customers. Statement 131 is effective
for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997, and
therefore the company will adopt the new requirements retroactively in 1998.
Management has not completed its review of Statement 131, but does not
anticipate that the adoption of this statement will have a significant effect on
the Companys financial statements.

4. Comprehensive Income

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement 130,
Reporting Comprehensive Income ("Statement 130"). Statement 130 establishes new
rules for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components;
however, Statement 130 had no impact on the Company's net income or
shareholders' equity as of March 31, 1998.

5. Restatement

All share and per share information included in the financial statements as of
March 31, 1997 and the three months then ended has been restated to reflect the
retroactive effect of the stock split distributed on August 31, 1997.

6. Business Acquisition

Effective January 31, 1998, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common
shares of Hi-Lo Automotive, Inc. and its subsidiaries for $47.8 million or $4.35
per common share. This acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase by
recording the assets and liabilities of Hi/LO at their estimated fair values at
the acquisition date. The consolidated results of operations of the Company
include the operations of Hi/LO from the acquisition date. Unaudited Pro Forma
consolidated results of operations assuming the purchase was made at the
beginning of each period are shown below: (amounts in thousands, except per
share data) <TABLE> <CAPTION> <S> <C> <C>

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION


Results of Operations

Product sales for the first quarter of 1998 increased by $49.8 million, or
72.7%, over product sales for the first quarter of 1997 due to the acquisition
of 189 Hi-Lo Automotive, Inc. ("Hi/LO") stores on January 31, 1998, a 3.32%
increase in O'Reilly comparable store product sales and a 1.4% decrease for
Hi/LO comparable store product sales, and the opening of 12 new stores during
the first quarter of 1998.

Gross profit increased 73.6% from $29.2 million (or 42.6% of product sales) in
the first quarter of 1997 to $50.7 million (or 42.8% of product sales) in the
first quarter of 1998. The increase in gross profit margin resulted primarily
from improvements in the Company's product acquisition programs and changes in
the product sales mix. The Company's product acquisition programs have resulted
in lower product costs due to increased buying power and promotional programs
and allowances offered by the Company's vendors.

Operating, selling, general and administrative expenses (OSG&A expenses)
increased $18.8 million from $21.3 million (or 31.1% of product sales) in the
first quarter of 1997 to $40.1 million (or 33.9% of product sales) in the first
quarter of 1998. OSG&A expenses increased in dollar amount and as a percent of
product sales primarily from the addition of the Hi/LO operation, which
historically has generated a higher OSG&A ratio than O'Reilly, new store
openings in the first quarter of 1998, additions to administrative staff and
facilities in order to support the increased level of the Company's operations,
changes in the timing of advertising programs and increased depreciation.

Other income, net, decreased by $1.2 million in the first quarter of 1998
compared to the first quarter of 1997. This decrease was primarily due to
increased interest expense from the new credit facilities obtained to fund the
acquisition of Hi/LO, and reduced interest income from short-term investments.

The Company's estimated provision for income taxes increased from 37.2% of
income before income taxes in the first quarter of 1997 to 38.1% in the first
quarter of 1998. The increase in the effective income tax rate was primarily due
to more of the Company's sales occurring in states with higher income tax rates.

Principally as a result of the foregoing, net income increased from $5.0 million
or 7.3% of product sales in the first quarter of 1997 to $5.8 million or 4.9% of
product sales in the first quarter of 1998.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash of $3.7 million was provided by operating activities for the first
three months of 1998 as compared to $9.5 million for the first three months of
1997. This decrease was principally the result of increases in inventory, other
assets, and accrued expenses as offset by decreases in accounts payable. The
increases in accrued expenses, inventory and other assets are primarily due to
the acquisition of Hi/LO, the addition of new stores and increased sales levels
in existing and newly opened stores.

Net cash used in investing activities has increased from $9.0 million in 1997 to
$64.6 million in 1998 primarily due to the purchase of Hi/LO's net assets and
the ongoing addition of new stores and improvements of existing stores as a
result of the Company's accelerated store growth program.

Cash provided by financing activities has increased from $2.1 million in the
first three months of 1997 to $60.5 million in the first three months of 1998.
The increase was primarily due to the borrowings under the Company's new credit
facilities during the first three months of 1998 utilized to acquire Hi/LO and
assume Hi/LO's debt.

In order to fund the acquisition of Hi/LO, and the Company's continuing working
capital and general corporate needs, the Company replaced its lines of credit in
January 1998 with new, unsecured, syndicated credit facilities totaling $175
million. The facilities are comprised of a $125 million five-year revolving
credit facility which includes a $5 million sublimit for the issuance of letters
of credit and a $50 million five-year term loan facility.

Aside from the 189 stores acquired in the Hi/LO transaction, the Company plans
to open an additional 38 stores in 1998 (for a net total of 50). The funds
required for such planned expansions will be provided by the cash expected to be
generated from operating activities, short-term investments and the existing
bank credit facilities.

Management believes that the cash expected to be generated from operating
activities, existing cash and short-term investments, existing and future bank
credit facilities and trade credit will be sufficient to fund both the short and
long-term capital and liquidity needs of the Company for the foreseeable future.


Year 2000

Management has developed a plan to modify the Company's information technology
to recognize the year 2000 and has begun converting critical data processing
systems. The Company's Year 2000 initiative is being managed by a team of
internal staff and management. Management currently expects the project to be
substantially complete by early 1999 and that the cost of the Year 2000
initiative, principally including internal costs, will not be material to the
Company's results of operations or financial position. Furthermore, this project
is not expected to have a significant effect on operations. The Company will
continue to implement systems with strategic value though some projects may be
delayed due to resource constraints.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q are
forward-looking statements. These statements discuss, among other things,
expected growth, store development and expansion strategy, business strategies,
future revenues and future performance. The forward-looking statements are
subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions including, but not limited to
competitive pressures, demand for the Company's procedures, the market for auto
parts, the economy in general, inflation, consumer debt levels and the weather.
Actual results may materially differ from anticipated results described in these
forward-looking statements. Certain risks are discussed in Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
