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, 1996.
NOTE B - ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Amounts included in accounts receivable having balances due after one year were
approximately $20.6 million at June 30, 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
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 E - PERVASIVENESS OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
NOTE F - RECENT PRONOUNCEMENT
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 131,
Disclosure about segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. It requires
that a public business enterprise report financial and descriptive information
about its reportable operating segments. This information is to be provided on
the same basis that it is used internally by management for evaluating segment
performance. It requires that a business report a measure of segment profit or
loss, certain specific revenue and expense items and segment assets, among
others. It also requires certain descriptive information, including the way
that the operating segments were determined and the products and services
provided by the operating segments. The Statement is effective for financial
statements for periods beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company plans to
adopt the Statement for the year ended December 31, 1998. Company management is
assessing how the requirements of the statement will impact existing segment
disclosures.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SECOND QUARTER 1997 COMPARED TO SECOND QUARTER 1996
Net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 1997, increased to $63,336,000
compared to $63,258,000 for the same period of 1996. On a same location basis,
commercial sales were up 6.3% while retail sales decreased 8.4%. Commercial
sales growth occurred in all product categories while a cooler than normal
spring in the Southeast affected retail sales, particularly in lawn and garden
merchandise.
Miscellaneous income decreased 10.0% primarily due to lower revenues earned
from charges associated with consumer credit sales.
The gross margin rate increased slightly to 31.1% for the second quarter of
1997 compared to 30.6% for the same period of 1996.
Selling, administrative and general expenses increased 4.4% for the second
quarter of 1997 compared to the second quarter of 1996 primarily due to
increases in expenses associated with compensation and benefits.
Interest expense increased to $701,000 for the second quarter of 1997 from
$590,000 for the same period of 1996 due to an increased average short-term
borrowing rate and increased average outstanding short-term borrowings.
The Company recorded net income of $818,000 ($.37 per share) for the second
quarter of 1997 compared to a net loss of $1,565,000 ($.71 per share) for the
same period of 1996. The 1996 second quarter loss included a $4.8 million
unusual charge associated with the settlement of two class action lawsuits
related to retail installment credit sales.
FIRST HALF 1997 COMPARED TO FIRST HALF 1996
Net sales for the six-month period ended June 30, 1997 increased $3.9
million to $117,755,000 from $113,856,000 for the same period of 1996. On a same
location basis, commercial sales were up 4.9% while retail sales declined 1.7%.
Miscellaneous income for the first half of 1997 was down slightly to
$7,207,000 from $7,220,000 for the first half of 1996.
The gross margin rate for the six-month period was up slightly to 31.1%
compared to 30.7% for the same period of 1996.
Selling administrative and general expenses were up 5.0% for the first half
of 1997 compared to the first half of 1996 primarily due to increased expenses
associated with compensation and benefits.
Interest expense increased to $1,379,000 for the first half of 1997 from
$1,147,000 for the same period of 1996 primarily due to increased average
outstanding short-term borrowing.
The Company recorded net income of $281,000 ($.13 per share) for the first
half of 1997 compared to net loss of $2,393,000 ($1.09 per share) for the first
half of 1996. The 1996 first half loss includes a $4.8 million unusual charge
recorded in the second quarter for expenses associated with the settlement of
two class action lawsuits related to retail installment credit sales.

FINANCIAL POSITION
Net cash provided by operating activities for the first half of 1997 was
$1.7 million. Cash provided by net income before depreciation and amortization
was $1.4 million. Additional cash of $6.3 million was provided by an increase in
accounts payable and accrued expenses and deceased prepaid expenses. This was
partially offset by increased accounts receivable and inventories.
Net cash used in investing activities of $1.3 million was principally for
capital equipment.
Financing activities reflect a net decrease in short-term borrowings of
$473,000. Short-term debt is originated through the majority shareholder, The
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, which provides an open line of credit.
