NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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, 1995.
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 (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by
the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares
outstanding during each period.
NOTE D - CONTINGENCIES
The Company is a defendant in two legal proceedings related to certain
installment credit sales transactions. These proceedings are both purported
class actions and include several defendants. These actions both allege that
the defendants, in charging certain fees in connection with financing
transactions in-lieu of making filings under the Uniform Commercial Code,
violated certain federal and state statutes and consumer protection laws.
The plaintiffs are seeking statutory damages, unspecified punitive damages
and other remedies. The Company is defending these actions, which are both
in preliminary discovery stages. It is not possible at this time to
determine the extent, if any, to which the Company may be liable or to
reasonably estimate the amount of any possible liability. In the event of an
adverse final determination in these cases, the Company's financial position
and results of operations for the period in which such determination occurs
could be materially affected.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
First Quarter 1996 Compared To First Quarter 1995
Net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 1996, decreased $2.0 million
to $50,598,000 from $52,637,000 for the same period of 1995. Sales decreased
in all product lines except rubber products. On a same location basis
commercial sales increased 1.1% and retail sales decreased 8.1%.
Miscellaneous income decreased $660,000 for the first quarter of 1996
compared to the same period of 1995 due to lower finance charge income
resulting from decreased consumer credit sales and the discontinuance of
certain charges in connection with such sales.
The gross margin rate increased slightly to 30.8% for the first quarter
of 1996 compared to 30.7% for the first quarter of 1995.
Selling, administrative and general expenses increased $139,000 due to
expenses not directly associated with sales volume. As a percentage of
sales, expenses increased to 37.8% for the first quarter of 1996 compared to
36.1% for the same period of 1995.
Interest expense decreased $50,000 for the first quarter of 1996
compared to the same period of 1995 due to lower short-term borrowing rates.
The Company's average short-term borrowing rate for the first quarter of 1996
was 6.9% compared to 7.6% for the first quarter of 1995.
Historically, the first quarter does not represent a strong earnings
period for the Company. A net loss of $828,000 ($.38 per share) was recorded
for the first quarter of 1996 compared to a net loss of $74,000 ($.03 per
share) for the same period of 1995.
Financial Position
Net cash used in operating activities was $3.9 million for the first
quarter of 1996. Cash used by net loss before depreciation and amortization
was $326,000. Additional cash was used principally by increased inventory
balances to support the seasonal merchandise requirements for the second
quarter business levels. This was partially offset by related accounts
payable increases and seasonal accounts receivable decreases.
Net cash used in investing activities of $394,000 was principally for
capital equipment. Financing activities reflect a net increase in the
Company's short-term borrowing of $4.1 million. Short-term debt is
originated through the majority shareholder, The Goodyear Tire & Rubber
Company, which provides an open line of credit.
