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, 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
Net Income (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 has agreed in principle to a tentative settlement
in connection with these proceedings. A $4.8 million charge was recorded in
the second quarter of 1996 for the tentative settlement including associated
costs and expenses.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SECOND QUARTER 1996 COMPARED TO SECOND QUARTER 1995
Net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 1996, increased $636,000 to
$63,258,000 compared to $62,622,000 for the same period of 1995. Commercial
sales were up .7% primarily due to increased service sales. Retail sales
increased 1.5% primarily due to increased sales of hard goods. On a same
location basis, commercial and retail sales increased 2.4% and 2.0%,
respectively.
Miscellaneous income increased $344,000 for the second quarter of 1996
primarily due to higher finance charge income from increased consumer credit
sales.
The gross margin rate remained constant at 30.6% for the second quarters
of 1996 and 1995.
Selling, administrative and general expenses increased 3.7% for the second
quarter of 1996 due to expenses associated with increased sales volume and
higher expenses for compensation and benefits.
Interest expense decreased $37,000 for the second quarter of 1996 due to
lower short-term borrowing rates. The Company's average short-term borrowing
rate for the second quarter of 1996 was 6.9% compared to 7.6% for the same
period of 1995.
The Company recorded a net loss of $1,565,000 ($.71 per share) for the
first quarter of 1996 compared to net income of $1,472,000 ($.67 per share) for
the same period of 1995. The earnings decline is primarily attributable to a
$4.8 million unusual charge recorded in the second quarter of 1996 associated
with the tentative settlement of two class action lawsuits related to its
retail installment credit sales. For further discussion see Note D of Notes to
Financial Statements located elsewhere in this report.
FIRST HALF 1996 COMPARED TO FIRST HALF 1995
Net sales for the six-month period ended June 30, 1996, decreased
$1,403,000 to $113,856,000 compared to $115,259,000 for the same period of
1995. Commercial sales were constant with the 1995 level while retail sales
declined 3.0%. On a same location basis, commercial sales increased 1.8%, and
retail sales decreased 2.5%.
Miscellaneous income decreased $316,000 for the first half of 1996
primarily due to the discontinuance of certain charges in connection with
consumer credit sales.
The gross margin rate increased slightly to 30.7% for the first half of
1996 compared to 30.6% for the same period of 1995.
Selling, administrative and general expenses increased 2.2% primarily due
to increased costs associated with compensation and benefits.
Interest expense decreased $87,000 due to lower short-term borrowing
rates. The average short-term borrowing rate for the first half of 1996 was
6.9% compared to 7.6% for the same period of 1995.
6
7
The Company recorded a net loss of $2,393,000 ($1.09 per share) for the
six-month period ended June 30, 1996, compared to net income of $1,398,000
($.64 per share) for the same period of 1995. The earnings decrease is
primarily attributed to the previously mentioned $4.8 million unusual charge
recorded in 1996.
FINANCIAL POSITION
Net cash used in operating activities was $3.1 million. Cash used by net
loss before depreciation and amortization was $2.4 million. Additional cash
was used to fund increased accounts receivable and inventory balances that
reflect the stronger second quarter selling season. This was offset by related
accounts payable increases and an increase in other accrued liabilities.
Net cash used in investing activities of $920,000 was principally for
capital equipment. Financing activities reflect a net increase in the
Company's short-term borrowing of $3.8 million. Short-term debt is originated
through the majority shareholder, The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, which
provides an open line of credit.
