Note D. Non-Recurring Charges

During the fourth quarter of 2001, the Company recorded a non-recurring charge
totaling $4,300,000 ($2,580,000 net of tax benefits) related to the closure of a
North American tread rubber manufacturing facility and certain retirement
benefits. Costs included $2,659,000 ($1,595,000 net of tax benefits) for
termination benefits for the reduction of 46 employees, $1,521,000 ($913,000 net
of tax benefits) for early retirement benefits of 19 employees, and other
miscellaneous closure costs. The Company paid $1,321,000 and $1,542,000 in 2002
and 2001, respectively, related to the termination of employees. In the
year-to-date period ended June 30, 2003, the Company paid $42,000 relating to
the termination of employees. As of June 30, 2003, $1,400,000 of the charges
related to the closure of the North American tread rubber manufacturing facility
remained accrued. The Company estimates that substantially all of the remaining
payments will be made by the end of 2004.

Note E. Restructuring Charges

In 2002, the Company recorded restructuring charges totaling $3,500,000
($2,450,000 net of tax benefits) for termination benefits covering 39 employees.
In 2002, the Company paid approximately $650,000 for benefit payments. In the
year-to-date period ended June 30, 2003, the Company paid $1,489,000 relating to
the termination of employees. As of June 30, 2003, $1,750,000 of the charges
related to the restructuring remained accrued, which reflects a $389,000
increase in the original provision due to exchange rate changes. The Company
estimates that substantially all of the remaining payments will be made by the
end of 2006.

Note F. Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

During the second quarter of 2002, the Company adopted the fair value
recognition and measurement provision of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation," as amended by SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosures," effective as of the
beginning of 2002. Under the modified prospective method of adoption selected by
the Company, compensation cost recognized in 2002 and 2003 is the same as that
which would have been recognized had the recognition provisions of Statement 123
been applied from its original effective date in 1994.

Note G. Divestitures

During the first and second quarters of 2003, the Company's Tire Distribution
Systems, Inc. (TDS) segment sold 34 locations with a net carrying value of
$18,371,000 for cash of $11,115,000 and assumed liabilities of $6,851,000. The
divestitures resulted in a gain before income taxes and cumulative effect of
accounting change of $199,000 in the first quarter of 2003 and a loss before
income taxes and cumulative effect of accounting change of $804,000 in the
second quarter of 2003. The assets of these locations consisted primarily of
inventory and property, plant and equipment.

In conjunction with the divestiture of certain TDS locations in the second
quarter of 2003, Bandag guaranteed third-party loans to a dealer of $1,045,000.
The guarantee is secured by assets of the dealer. The term of the guarantee is
three years. The fair value of the guarantee, which was estimated at $200,000,
is included in long-term debt and other obligations in the Company's Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2003 with an offsetting charge included
in earnings before income taxes and cumulative effect of accounting change
recorded in the second quarter of 2003.

The divested locations had net sales and earnings (loss) before income taxes and
cumulative effect of accounting change as follows (in thousands):

    of accounting change              $  (222)   $  (387)   $  (457)   $  (529)

The assets of these locations, consisting primarily of inventory and property,
plant and equipment, had net carrying values of approximately $17,365,000 and
$28,245,000 as of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively, and are
classified with other current assets in the Company's Condensed Consolidated
Balance Sheets.

During the second quarter of 2003, TDS recorded a $700,000 impairment charge,
resulting from a valuation from an independent appraiser, in operating and other
expenses for real estate that is classified as held for sale.


Note I. Recent Accounting Developments

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation Number (FIN) No. 46,
"Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." FIN No. 46 addresses accounting
for variable interest entities (VIE), defined as a separate legal structure that
either 1) has equity investors who lack the essential characteristics of
controlling financial interest, or 2) has equity investors that do not provide
sufficient financial resources for the entity to support its own activities. FIN
No. 46 requires that a VIE be consolidated by a company if that company is
entitled to a majority of the VIE's residual returns or subject to a majority of
its expected losses, and also requires disclosures concerning VIEs that a
company is not required to consolidate but in which it has a significant
variable interest. The Company is in the process of analyzing FIN No. 46 to
determine its applicability, if any, to certain dealer loans. The Company had
recorded approximately $7,200,000 of dealer loans as of June 30, 2003.


Note J. Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current
year presentation.

Note K. Operating Segment Information

The Company has two reportable operating segments: the Traditional Business and
TDS. The Traditional Business manufactures precured tread rubber, equipment and
supplies for retreading tires and operates on a worldwide basis. The operations
of the Traditional Business segment are evaluated by worldwide geographic
region. The Company's operations located in the United States and Canada,
together with Tire Management Solutions, Inc. (TMS), and Quality Design Systems,
Inc. (QDS), are integrated and managed as one unit, which is referred to
internally as North America. The Company's operations located in Europe
principally service those European countries, but also export to certain other
countries in the Middle East and Northern and Central Africa. This collection of
countries is under one management group and is referred to internally as Europe.
The Company's exports from North America to markets in the Caribbean, Central
America, South America and Asia, along with operations in Brazil, Mexico,
Venezuela, South Africa, and royalties from a licensee in Australia, are
combined under one management group referred to internally as International.

TDS operates franchised retreading locations and commercial, retail, and
wholesale outlets throughout the United States for the sale and maintenance of
new and retread tires to principally commercial and industrial customers.

Other consists of corporate administrative expenses including corporate legal
expenses.

The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based primarily on
profit or loss before interest and income taxes. Intersegment sales and
transfers between the Traditional Business and TDS are recorded at a value
consistent with that to unaffiliated customers.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.

GENERAL
- -------

Results include the Company's two reportable operating segments - its
Traditional Business and Tire Distribution Systems, Inc. (TDS).

On July 8, 2003, Yellow Corporation and Roadway Corporation, two major national
trucking fleets, announced they have entered into an agreement under which
Yellow Corporation will acquire Roadway Corporation. The Company currently has
an outsourcing agreement with Roadway Corporation that expires in March 2004 and
is currently in negotiations with Roadway Corporation to extend the contract.
The Company is unable to predict what effect the proposed acquisition, if
consummated, will have on its contract with Roadway Corporation. If, after
acquiring Roadway Corporation, Yellow Corporation were to allow the contract to
expire, the effect on the Company could be materially adverse to net sales and
net income. The Company currently has tire and wheel assets of approximately
$30,000,000 recorded in connection with this contract. Upon termination of the
agreement, the tire and wheel assets will either be repurchased by Roadway
Corporation or a third party at a contractually agreed upon price, which the
Company believes will approximate their carrying value, or will remain the
property of the Company.

     Sale of TDS Locations
     ---------------------
During the first and second quarters of 2003, the Company's TDS segment sold 34
locations with a net carrying value of $18,371,000 for cash of $11,115,000 and
assumed liabilities of $6,815,000. The divestitures resulted in a gain before
income taxes and cumulative effect of accounting change of $199,000 in the first
quarter of 2003 and a loss before income taxes and cumulative effect of
accounting change of $804,000 in the second quarter of 2003. In conjunction with
the divestiture of certain TDS locations in the second quarter of 2003, Bandag
guaranteed third-party loans to a dealer of $1,045,000. The guarantee is secured
by assets of the dealer. The term of the guarantee is three years. The fair
value of the guarantee, which was estimated at $200,000, is included in
long-term debt and other obligations in the Company's Condensed Consolidated
Balance Sheet at June 30, 2003 with an offsetting charge included in earnings
before income taxes and cumulative effect of accounting change recorded in the
second quarter of 2003. The assets of these locations consisted primarily of
inventory and property, plant and equipment. These locations contributed
$7,889,000 and $24,738,000 to net sales for the quarter and year-to-date periods
ended June 30, 2003, respectively, and $26,488,000 and $47,569,000 to net sales
for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2002, respectively.
These locations incurred $1,219,000 and $3,133,000 of losses before income taxes
and cumulative effect of accounting change for the quarter and year-to-date
periods ended June 30, 2003, respectively, and $568,000 and $130,000 of earnings
before income taxes and cumulative effect of accounting change for the quarter
and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2002, respectively.

     Assets Held for Sale
     --------------------
Also during the second quarter of 2003, the Company's TDS segment entered into
an agreement to sell ten locations in Louisiana. TDS also has three locations in
Tennessee and one in Texas held for sale. These locations contributed
$10,243,000 and $18,928,000 to net sales for the quarter and year-to-date
periods ended June 30, 2003, respectively, and $10,629,000 and $20,336,000 to
net sales for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2002,
respectively. These locations contributed $1,129,000 and $1,597,000 of losses
before income taxes and cumulative effect of accounting change for the quarter
and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2003, respectively, and $331,000 and
$662,000 of losses before income taxes and cumulative effect of accounting
change for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2002,
respectively. The assets of these locations, consisting primarily of inventory
and property, plant and equipment, had net carrying values of approximately
$17,365,000 and $28,245,000 as of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002,
respectively, and are classified with other current assets in the Company's
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the second quarter of 2003, TDS
recorded a $700,000 impairment charge, resulting from a valuation from an
independent appraiser, in consolidated operating and other expenses for real
estate that is classified as held for sale.

2003 decreased $27,070,000 and $44,284,000, or 12% and 11%, from the prior year
periods, respectively. The decrease in consolidated net sales is substantially
due to a $32,102,000 and $49,380,000, or 32% and 27%, decrease in TDS net sales
for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2003, respectively,
primarily as a result of the divestitures and closures of 61 locations in 2002
and 2003. The Company's seasonal sales pattern is tied to the overall
performance of the economy and to the level of trucking activity.

     Gross Profit Margins
     --------------------
Consolidated and Traditional Business gross profit margins for the quarter ended
June 30, 2003, decreased by 1.5 and 4.8 percentage points from the prior year
period, respectively. Consolidated and Traditional Business gross profit margins
for the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2003 decreased 1.7 and 5.1 percentage
points from the prior year period, respectively. The decrease in consolidated
and Traditional Business gross profit margins is primarily the result of margin
erosion in North America, partially offset, in the case of consolidated gross
profit margin, by lower TDS sales which carry lower gross margins than the
Traditional Business. Gross profit margin for TDS increased 1.2 and 1.8
percentage points for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2003,
respectively, as compared to the prior year periods. The improvement in TDS
gross profit margin was positively impacted by increased sales of higher margin
product coupled with a decrease in cost of sales as a result of inventory
adjustments recorded in the prior year.

     Operating and Other Expenses
     ----------------------------
Consolidated operating and other expenses decreased $7,375,000 and $17,619,000,
or 10% and 13%, for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2003
from the prior year periods, respectively. The decrease in consolidated
operating and other expenses primarily resulted from approximately $9,700,000 of
litigation expenses and $2,200,000 of expenses related to


                                       14


                      BANDAG, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES

converting SystemBandag users to the Roadware(TM) software system, in the
year-to-date period ended June 30, 2002, which did not occur during the similar
period of 2003. Consolidated operating and other expenses were also positively
impacted by the TDS divestitures and closures. Consolidated operating and other
expenses were negatively impacted by $2,239,000 and $2,362,000 of net foreign
exchange losses in the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2003,
respectively, primarily resulting from revaluing funds held in US Dollars
outside the United States into local currencies, which had strengthened relative
to the US Dollar. Consolidated operating and other expenses were also negatively
impacted by $804,000 of net losses on TDS divestitures and a $700,000 impairment
charge for real estate held for sale.

     Net Earnings
     ------------
Consolidated earnings before income taxes and cumulative effect of accounting
change decreased $5,016,000 and $3,271,000 for the quarter and year-to-date
periods ended June 30, 2003 as compared to the prior year periods, respectively.
Consolidated net earnings were $8,693,000 and $11,086,000, or $0.45 and $0.57
per diluted share, for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2003,
respectively, compared to consolidated net earnings of $11,669,000 and a loss of
$34,371,000, or $0.57 and a loss of $1.67 per diluted share, for the quarter and
year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2002, respectively. A cumulative effect of
accounting change of $47,260,000 net of income tax, or $2.29 per diluted share,
was recorded in the first quarter of 2002 in accordance with SFAS 142.

TRADITIONAL BUSINESS
- --------------------

     North America
     -------------
The Company's Traditional Business operations located in the United States and
Canada, together with Tire Management Solutions, Inc. and Quality Design
Systems, Inc., are integrated and managed as one unit, which is referred to
internally as North America. North America sells to independent dealers as well
as to TDS and other subsidiaries. Sales to TDS and other subsidiaries are
eliminated in consolidation. Sales of $8,636,000 and $18,153,000 of retread
products to TDS accounted for 9% and 11% of North America's total retread
products sold for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2003,
respectively, compared to $13,170,000 and $24,767,000, or 14%, in each of the
prior year periods. Total retread products sold in North America for the quarter
and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2003 decreased $3,235,000 and
$11,863,000, or 3% and 7%, from the prior year periods, respectively. Retread
product sales to TDS for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 30,
2003, declined 34% and 27%, respectively, as compared to the prior year periods.
Despite the fact that retread product sales to independent dealers for the
quarter ended June 30, 2003, increased 2%, retread product sales to independent
dealers for the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2003 decreased 3%. The
decrease in retread product sales to TDS is primarily due to the divestitures
and closures of TDS locations. The year-to-date decrease in retread products
sales to independent dealers is primarily due to a 7% decline in retread
material volume, resulting primarily from dealer buying during the fourth
quarter of 2002 as they stocked inventories ahead of a January price increase,
flat freight traffic experienced by many major North American fleets, and
pressure from new replacement truck tires in the traditional retread market.
Sales to independent dealers should benefit as former TDS locations are sold.
Primarily as a result of the acquisition of Open Road Technologies in the first

                                       15


                      BANDAG, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES

quarter of 2002, North America other net sales for the year-to-date period ended
June 30, 2003 increased $3,207,000 compared to the prior year period.

A reduction in sales as a result of an increase in sales incentive programs,
coupled with higher manufacturing expenses, higher raw material costs and lower
volume primarily resulted in an eight and nine percentage point decrease in
North America's gross margin for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June
30, 2003 from the prior year periods, respectively. North America's operating
and other expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 increased 2% from the
prior year period. North America's operating and other expenses for the
year-to-date period ended June 30, 2003 increased 1% from the prior year period.
Operating and other expenses in the current quarter and year-to-date period were
negatively impacted by $1,000,000 and $2,400,000 of increased pension expense,
respectively. Operating and other expenses for the year-to-date period ended
June 30, 2003 was positively impacted by the absence of approximately $2,200,000
of expense incurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2002 related to
converting SystemBandag users to the RoadWare(TM) software system. Lower sales
and gross profit margin primarily resulted in a decrease for North America of
$6,892,000 and $15,639,000 in earnings before income taxes and cumulative effect
of accounting change for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 30,
2003 as compared to the prior year periods.

     Europe
     ------
The Company's operations located in Europe principally service markets in
European countries, but also export to certain other countries in the Middle
East and Northern and Central Africa. This collection of countries is under one
management group and is referred to internally as Europe. Net sales in Europe
increased $3,027,000 and $9,448,000, or 20% and 35%, for the quarter and
year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2003 from the prior year periods,
respectively. Retread material volume decreased 1% for the quarter ended June
30, 2003 and increased 8% for the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2003, from
the prior year periods. Net sales in Europe in the quarter and year-to-date
periods ended June 30, 2003 were positively impacted by the strengthening of the
euro. Gross margin remained even and increased 1.1 percentage points for the
quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2003 compared to the prior year
periods, respectively. Operating and other expenses increased $1,785,000 and
$3,174,000, or 33% and 32%, for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June
30, 2003 as compared to the prior year periods, respectively, primarily due to
an increase of $818,000 and $1,835,000 of net foreign exchange losses,
respectively. The net foreign exchange losses primarily resulted from revaluing
funds held in US Dollars outside the United States into local currencies, which
have strengthened relative to the US Dollar. Principally as a result of higher
operating and other expenses, Europe incurred a loss before income taxes and
cumulative effect of accounting change of $679,000 for the quarter ended June
30, 2003, as compared to earnings before income taxes and cumulative effect of
accounting change of $361,000 for the prior year period. Principally as a result
of higher sales, partially offset by higher operating and other expenses,
Europe's earnings before income taxes and cumulative effect of accounting change
was $711,000 for the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2003, as compared to
$189,000 for the prior year period.

     International
     -------------
The Company's exports from North America to markets in the Caribbean, Central
America, South America and Asia, along with operations in Brazil, Mexico,
Venezuela, South Africa, and


                                       16


                      BANDAG, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES

royalties from a licensee in Australia, are combined under one management group
referred to internally as International. Net sales in International for the
quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2003 decreased $769,000 and
$3,047,000, or 3% and 7%, from the prior year periods, respectively. The
decrease in net sales is primarily a result of a 13% and 9% decrease in retread
material unit volume, coupled with the lower translated value of the Brazilian
real and Mexican peso, partially offset by the higher translated value of the
South African rand. The gross margin for the quarter and year-to-date periods
ended June 30, 2003 decreased 5.3 and 4.4 percentage points from the prior year
periods, respectively, due mainly to higher raw material costs, partially offset
by price increases in Brazil and South Africa. Operating and other expenses for
the quarter ended June 30, 2003 increased $496,000 from the prior year period,
primarily due to an increase of $1,782,000 of net foreign exchange losses and
the lower translated value of the Brazilian Real and Mexican peso. The net
foreign exchange losses primarily resulted from revaluing funds held in US
Dollars outside the United States into local currencies, which have strengthened
relative to the US Dollar. Operating and other expenses for the year-to-date
period ended June 30, 2003, decreased $2,810,000 from the prior year period,
primarily due to management instituting new operating expense restrictions.
Earnings before income taxes and cumulative effect of accounting change for the
quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2003 decreased $1,826,000 and
$62,000 from the prior year period, primarily due to lower gross margins and an
increase in foreign exchange losses.

TIRE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS, INC.
- -------------------------------

During the first and second quarters of 2003, the Company's TDS segment sold 34
locations with a net carrying value of $18,371,000 for cash of $11,115,000 and
assumed liabilities of $6,815,000. The divestitures resulted in a gain before
income taxes and cumulative effect of accounting change of $199,000 in the first
quarter of 2003 and a loss before income taxes and cumulative effect of
accounting change of $804,000 in the second quarter of 2003. In conjunction with
the divestiture of certain TDS locations in the second quarter of 2003, Bandag
guaranteed third-party loans to a dealer of $1,045,000. The guarantee is secured
by assets of the dealer. The term of the guarantee is three years. The fair
value of the guarantee, which was estimated at $200,000, is included in
long-term debt and other obligations in the Company's Condensed Consolidated
Balance Sheet at June 30, 2003 with an offsetting charge included in earnings
before income taxes and cumulative effect of accounting change recorded in the
second quarter of 2003. The assets of these locations consisted primarily of
inventory and property, plant and equipment. These locations contributed
$7,889,000 and $24,738,000 to net sales for the quarter and year-to-date periods
ended June 30, 2003, respectively, and $26,488,000 and $47,569,000 to net sales
for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2002, respectively.
These locations incurred $1,219,000 and $3,133,000 of losses before income taxes
and cumulative effect of accounting change for the quarter and year-to-date
periods ended June 30, 2003, respectively and $568,000 and $130,000 of earnings
before income taxes and cumulative effect of accounting change for the quarter
and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2002, respectively.

TDS net sales for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2003
decreased $32,102,000 and $49,380,000, or 32% and 27%, from the prior year
periods, respectively, primarily due to the divestitures and closures of 61 TDS
locations throughout 2002 and 2003.


                                       17


                      BANDAG, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES

The divested and closed locations had sales of approximately $36,343,000 and
$67,206,000 for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2002,
respectively. The locations that were divested or closed in 2003 contributed
$7,889,000 and $24,738,000 to net sales for the quarter and year-to-date periods
ended June 30, 2003, respectively. Gross margin for the quarter and year-to-date
periods ended June 30, 2003 increased 1.2 and 1.8 percentage points from the
prior year periods, respectively. TDS gross profit margin was positively
impacted by increased sales of higher margin product coupled with a decrease in
cost of sales due to inventory adjustments. Operating and other expenses
decreased $5,540,000 and $9,493,000, or 23% and 20%, for the quarter and
year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2003, respectively, primarily due to the
divestitures and closures, with the reduction for the quarter ended June 30,
2003 being partially offset by the loss on divestitures of $804,000 and the
$700,000 impairment charge on real estate that were both recorded during the
quarter ended June 30, 2003. TDS incurred a loss before income taxes and
cumulative effect of accounting change of $2,430,000 and $6,482,000 for the
quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2003, respectively, as compared
to a loss on the same basis of $1,445,000 and $7,410,000 in the prior year
periods.
