                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                   (Unaudited)


1.   The consolidated balance sheet of Graco Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company)
     as of June 26, 1998 and the related statements of earnings for the thirteen
     and twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 1998, and June 27, 1997, and cash flows
     for the twenty-six  weeks ended June 26, 1998, and June 27, 1997, have been
     prepared by the Company without being audited.

     In the opinion of management,  these  consolidated  statements  reflect all
     adjustments  necessary to present  fairly the  financial  position of Graco
     Inc. and  Subsidiaries  as of June 26, 1998,  and the results of operations
     and cash flows for all periods presented.

     Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
     statements  prepared  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting
     principles  have been  condensed or omitted.  Therefore,  these  statements
     should  be read in  conjunction  with the  financial  statements  and notes
     thereto included in the Company's 1997 Form 10-K.

     The  results  of  operations  for  interim   periods  are  not  necessarily
     indicative of results which will be realized for the full fiscal year.

2.   Major components of inventories were as follows (in thousands):

3.   In June 1997, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
     Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 131,  "Disclosures about Segments
     of an Enterprise and Related Information",  which will be effective for the
     Company at the end of the 1998  fiscal  year.  SFAS No. 131  redefines  how
     operating  segments  are  determined  and  requires  disclosure  of certain
     financial and descriptive information about a company's operating segments.
     The Company has not yet determined  the nature of its segments,  nor has it
     determined how adoption of SFAS No. 131 will impact its future disclosures.
 
4.   To match North American and European fiscal years,  Europe's  December 1997
     operating  results were recorded as an adjustment to equity.  Those results
     included sales of $3,836,000  and net earnings of $300,000.  The results of
     operations  for Graco Inc.  for the  quarter  ended June 26,  1998  include
     Europe's  operations for the months of April, May and June.  Second quarter
     1997  results  included  the  months of March,  April  and May,  1997.  The
     inclusion of the months of April,  May, and June in the  operating  results
     for  Europe in the second  quarter  of 1997  would  have had an  immaterial
     impact on sales, net earnings, and diluted earnings per share.

5.   On July 2, 1998, the Company repurchased  5,800,000 shares of common stock,
     for $190,887,000, from its largest shareholder, the Trust under the Will of
     Clarissa L. Gray, pursuant to an agreement executed in May, 1998. The stock
     repurchase was funded with cash of $32,887,000  and  $158,000,000  from the
     credit facility discussed below.

     On July 2, 1998 the Company entered into a five-year  $190,000,000 reducing
     revolving  credit  facility  (the  Revolver)  with a syndicate of ten banks
     including  the lead  bank,  US Bank  National  Association.  The  Company's
     initial  borrowing  of  $158,000,000   financed  a  portion  of  the  stock
     repurchase  discussed above.  $135,500,000 of the outstanding balance bears
     interest at the London  Interbank  Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 0.625%.  The
     remaining  $22,500,000  balance  bears  interest  at  Prime.  The  Revolver
     requires quarterly reductions of the maximum amount of the credit line, and
     requires  the Company to maintain  certain  financial  covenants  as to net
     worth, cash flow leverage and fixed charge coverage.

     In conjunction with the aforementioned Revolver, the Company entered into a
     two-year,  $75,000,000  interest  rate swap  agreement on July 2, 1998 with
     Wachovia Bank, National Association to manage its exposure to interest rate
     changes.

5.   (cont.)

     The pro forma net income of the Company,  assuming the stock repurchase and
     related  signing of the Revolver  had occurred on December 27, 1997,  would
     have been $18.3  million for the six months ended June 26, 1998,  including
     the impact of increased  interest  expense net of related income taxes. For
     the six months then ended,  the pro forma  basic and diluted  earnings  per
     share  are $.92 and  $.88.  The pro forma  condensed  balance  sheet of the
     Company as of June 26, 1998 is shown below.
