NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
BRAD RAGAN, INC.
NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. In management's opinion, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. For further information, refer to the
financial statements and footnotes included in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994.
NOTE B - INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined
using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method for substantially all inventories.
An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method is made only at the end
of each year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time.
Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations must necessarily be based on
management's estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs. Since
these are subject to many forces beyond management's control, interim results
are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation.
NOTE C - INCOME PER SHARE
Earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted
average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding
during each period. The Company had no dilutive common equivalent shares for
the third quarter and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1995.
NOTE D - ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES
In 1992, the Company adopted Statement of Accounting Standards No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes," pursuant to which a deferred tax asset was
recorded to reflect temporary differences between financial reporting and tax
reporting bases of the Company's assets, liabilities and expense items. For
the third quarter and the nine-month period ended September 30, 1994, income
tax expense was partially offset by the reduction in the deferred tax asset
valuation allowance. This reduction in the valuation allowance was based on
management's determination of the realization of the deferred tax asset in
accordance with SFAS 109.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THIRD QUARTER 1995 COMPARED TO THIRD QUARTER 1994
Net sales for the quarter ended September 30, 1995, were up $403,000
to $63.7 million from $63.3 million for the same period of 1994. On a same
location basis, commercial and retail sales were up .4% and .2%, respectively.
Miscellaneous income decreased $445,000 in the third quarter of 1995
compared to the same period of 1994 primarily due to lower finance charge
income resulting from decreased consumer credit sales. It is anticipated that
miscellaneous income will be lower in future periods due in substantial part to
a reduction in anticipated net revenues derived from charges in respect of
certain retail credit sales transactions.
The third quarter 1995 gross margin rate increased slightly to 30.2%
compared to 29.8% for the 1994 third quarter.
Selling, administrative and general expenses increased slightly to
$20.4 million for the quarter of 1995 from $20.2 million for the 1994 third
quarter.
Higher short-term borrowing rates resulted in increased interest
expense for the third quarter of 1995 compared to the same period of 1994. The
average short-term borrowing rates for the third quarters of 1995 and 1994 were
7.4% and 6.2%, respectively.
The Company recorded net income of $801,000 ($.37 per share) for the
third quarter of 1995 compared to $1,508,000 ($.65 per share) for the same
period of 1994. The earnings decrease is primarily attributed to increased
income tax expense as described in Note D of Notes to Financial Statements and
increased interest expense. Net income will be adversely affected in future
periods as the result of planned elimination of certain charges in connection
with retail installment credit sales.
NINE MONTHS 1995 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS 1994
Net sales were up $4.3 million for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 1995, compared to the same period of 1994. Sales increases were
realized in both the commercial and retail segments. On a same location basis,
commercial and retail sales were up 2.3% and 1.2%, respectively.
Miscellaneous income decreased slightly from $11.1 million for the
nine-month period of 1994 to $10.9 million for the same period of 1995.
The gross margin rate for the nine-month period of 1995 was 30.5% down
slightly from 30.6% for the same period of 1994.
6
7
Selling, administrative and general expenses were up $1.1 million for
the nine-month period of 1995 to $59.7 million compared to $58.6 million for
the same period of 1994 due to expenses directly associated with increased
sales.
Higher short-term borrowing rates resulted in increased interest
expense. The average short-term borrowing rates for the nine-month periods
ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 were 7.5% and 5.6%, respectively.
The Company recorded net income of $2,199,000 ($1.00 per share) for
the nine-month period of 1995 compared to $3,910,000 ($1.69 per share) for the
same period of 1994. The earnings decrease is primarily attributed to
increased income tax expense as described in Note D of Notes to Financial
Statements and increased interest expense.
FINANCIAL POSITION
Accounts receivable balances higher than year-end 1994 levels reflect
seasonal sales volume increases during the second and third quarters.
Inventory and related accounts payable balances increased from year-end 1994
levels to support increased sales volume.
Total debt increased $2.5 million from year-end 1994 levels in order
to fund working capital requirements. Short-term debt is originated through
the majority shareholder, The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, which provides an
open line of credit.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is a defendant in the following two proceedings relating
to certain installment credit sales transactions.
(1) A civil action, Ricks, et al. vs Brad Ragan Inc. et al., was filed in
the Circuit Court for Jefferson County, Alabama, on behalf of a purported class
consisting of all past and current budget account debtors to the Company and
other defendants in Alabama alleging that the Company and the other defendants
violated the Alabama fraud and consumer protection laws by charging the
plaintiffs for non-filing insurance (in-lieu of making appropriate filings
under the Alabama Uniform Commercial Code) in connection with credit extended
in connection with certain retail installment credit sales transactions. The
plaintiffs are seeking statutory damages, including cancellation of their
account agreements, unspecified punitive damages and other remedies.
(2) A civil action, Jordan, et al vs Avco Financial, et al. was filed in
the United States District Court for the Middle District of Georgia, Columbus
Division, against the Company and several other defendants on behalf of a
purported class of plaintiffs consisting of all persons nationwide who were
charged for non-filing insurance by the defendants. The complaint alleges that
the defendants, in the course of collecting non-filing insurance fees in
respect of certain retail installment credit sales transactions, violated the
Federal Truth in Lending Act, the Federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt
Organizations Act and that the defendants' activities also constituted common
law fraud, breach of contract and conversion. The plaintiffs are seeking
statutory remedies, unspecified compensatory and punitive damages and
attorney's fees and costs.
