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, 1996.
NOTE B - ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Amounts included in accounts receivable having balances due after one year were
approximately $18.5 million at March 31, 1997, and $18.3 million at December 31,
1996.
NOTE C - 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 D - 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.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
FIRST QUARTER 1997 COMPARED TO FIRST QUARTER 1996
Net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 1997, increased $3.8 million
to $54,419,000 compared to $50,598,000 for the same period of 1996. Sales for
the Company's commercial segment increased 6.5% primarily due to increased
service sales. The retail segment sales increased 9.2% primarily due to
increased sales of lawn and garden and other hard goods. On a same location
basis, sales increased for the retail and commercial segments 8.4% and 5.4%,
respectively.
Miscellaneous income increased $440,000 for the first quarter of 1997
compared to the first quarter 1996 primarily due to increased revenues from
finance charges associated with increased consumer credit sales.
The gross margin rate increased slightly to 31.1% for the first
quarter of 1997 compared to 30.8% for the same period of 1996.
Selling, administrative and general expenses increased $1.1 million
due to higher expenses for compensation and benefits and expenses associated
with increased sales volume. As a percentage of sales, however, expenses
decreased to 37.1% for the first quarter of 1997 compared to 37.8% for the first
quarter of 1996.
Interest expense increased $121,000 for the first quarter of 1997
compared to the same period of 1996 due to higher average outstanding short-term
debt. The average short-term debt balance for the first quarter of 1997 was
$38.9 million compared to $31.5 million in 1996.
Historically, the first quarter does not represent a strong earnings
period for the Company. A net loss of $537,000 ($.25 per share) was recorded for
the first quarter of 1997 compared to a net loss of $828,000 ($.38 per share)
for the first quarter of 1996.
FINANCIAL POSITION
Net cash used in operating activities for the first quarter of 1997
was $831,000. Merchandise requirements for the upcoming strong selling season
resulted in cash used to increased inventory balances by $2.1 million. This was
offset by related increases in accounts payable balances of $2.1 million.
Financing activities reflect a net increase in the Company's
short-term borrowing of $1.2 million, which was used for capital expenditures of
$533,000 with the remainder funding working capital requirements. Short-term
debt is originated through the majority shareholder, The Goodyear Tire & Rubber
Company, which provides an open line of credit.
