   Part I
   
   ITEM I. BUSINESS
   
   The Registrant is a Delaware corporation organized in 1983 and is the
   successor to a North Carolina corporation organized in 1959.  The
   Company's principal lines of business are:  manufacturing and selling bar
   code reading and printing devices, manufacturing military combat boots,
   selling, leasing and servicing office equipment, and commercial printing.
   
   Bar  Code Operations
   The bar code segment, which is conducted by  Compsee, Inc., a 90% owned
   subsidiary, manufactures and sells bar code reading and printing devices
   and other items related to optical data collection, including licensing
   and selling computer software.  At July 29, 1995, Compsee had numerous
   sales centers located throughout the United States and also sells its
   products in Central and South America, Europe, Australia, the Middle
   East, and the Pacific Rim countries through foreign distributors.
   
   Compsee designs and manufacturers QuickReader and QuickLink bar code
   readers.  Principal materials used in Compsee's assembly operations
   consists of various electrical and electronic components that were
   readily available from a number of sources during fiscal 1995.
   
   The markets in which this business segment operates are generally highly
   competitive.  The Registrant is not aware of any reliable statistics that
   would enable the Registrant to determine the relative position of Compsee
   or its products within the industry.  Competition in the industry is
   principally based on product features, customer service and price.
   
   Revenues derived from this segment in fiscal 1995, 1994, and 1993 were
   43%, 33%, and 35% of the Registrant's total revenues, respectively. 
   QuickReaders and QuickLink bar code readers developed and marketed by
   Compsee accounted for 16%, 29%, and 36% of Compsee's sales and for 7%,
   10%, and 13% respectively, of the Registrant's total revenues during
   fiscal 1995, 1994, and 1993.  There was no significant backlog of firm
   orders for this segment at July 29, 1995.
   
   Footwear Manufacturing
   The Registrant manufactures Direct Molded Sole combat boots for the
   United States Government (the Government).  Whenever the Government
   determines a need for producing combat boots because of the number of new
   recruits entering the services and the need to replenish its inventory
   to replace worn out boots, the Government solicits contracts from several
   U. S. boot manufacturers.  The solicitation process typically includes
   the evaluation of written technical and cost proposals.  The Government
   awards contracts on negotiated per pair contract prices based on
   estimated allowable costs as projected for the subsequent fiscal year
   plus a reasonable profit margin. This profit margin is subject to the
   Government's determination that the prices are "fair" and "reasonable." 
   All recent Government contracts have been awarded to four manufacturers,
   of which the Registrant is one.  No one company dominates the Government
   military boot industry.  Price, quality,  manufacturing efficiency and
   delivery are the areas emphasized by the Registrant to strengthen its
   competitive position.  The Registrant also sells boots to civilian and
   other military customers.
   
   <PAGE>

                   
                                   
   The Registrant's contracts with the Government are subject to partial or
   complete termination under certain specified circumstances.  The
   Government has the authority to partially or completely terminate a
   contract for the convenience of the Government. The Government may
   negotiate a settlement with the Registrant in such event to cover costs
   already incurred.  The Government may exercise broad discretion in
   deciding whether to terminate a contract on grounds of  convenience,
   including termination due to lack of funding.   The Government also has
   the authority to partially or completely terminate a contract because of
   the Registrant's actual or anticipated failure to perform its contractual
   obligations.  The Registrant has never had a contract either partially
   or completely terminated.
   
   Leather and synthetic rubber, which have been and are currently generally
   available from several sources, are the principal material components
   used in the combat boot manufacturing process.  Pursuant to Government
   contracts, all materials used in manufacturing these boots must be and
   are produced in the United States and must be certified as conforming to
   military specifications.
   
   The Registrant has a technical assistance agreement with Ro-Search, Inc.,
   a subsidiary of Wellco, Inc., a competitor to which the Registrant pays
   a fee for each pair of Direct Molded Sole boots it produces.
   
   Revenues derived from this segment in fiscal 1995, 1994, and 1993 were
   22%, 35%, and 32%, respectively, of the Registrant's total revenues.
   
   The Registrant's backlog of firm orders for combat boots at July 29, 1995
   and July 30, 1994 totaled approximately $8,000,000 (all of which is
   expected to be filled during the current year) and $2,000,000,
   respectively.
   
   Office Products and Printing Business
   McRae Graphics, Inc. (Graphics), a wholly owned subsidiary, is a non-
   exclusive distributor of Toshiba photocopier and facsimile machines in
   North Carolina.  Graphics has nine district sales offices  throughout the
   state of North Carolina.  Graphics is also the sole distributor in North
   Carolina of RISO digital/duplicators.  Machines, components and certain
   supplies which were sold by Graphics during fiscal 1995 were generally
   available only from Toshiba and RISO.
   
   The Registrant also competes in the printing and packaging market through
   a wholly owned subsidiary, Rae-Print Packaging, Inc.  (Rae-Print).  Rae-
   Print prints packaging material principally for the textile industry as
   well as for commercial and industrial customers.  The principal materials
   used in Rae-Print's operations are paperboard and related products, which
   were readily available from a  number of sources during the year.
   
   The office products sales and printing industries are generally highly
   competitive, with price and service being the dominant factors.  The
   Registrant is not aware of any reliable statistics that would indicate
   its relative position within these industries.
   
   Revenues derived from this segment during fiscal 1995, 1994, and 1993
   were 33%, 30% and 31%, respectively, of the Registrant's total revenues. 
   There was no significant backlog of firm orders for this segment at July
   29, 1995.

   Other Businesses  
   The Registrant's Financing and Leasing Division manages the Registrant's
   short term investments and marketable securities.  This division is also
   engaged in equipment leasing and the financing of receivables for other
   businesses and individuals.
                                   
   The Registrant is also engaged in the food and lodging industry.  It owns
   and operates a 24 room motel and an adjacent 200 seat family style
   restaurant in Troy, North Carolina.  Competition from similar businesses
   in the immediate vicinity is moderate.
   
   Other Investment Interests
   The Registrant has an investment in the Common Stock of American Mortgage
   and Investment Company ("AMIC").  AMIC is located in Charleston, South
   Carolina and is engaged in real estate development and sales, primarily
   lots for single family dwellings, in the coastal region of South
   Carolina.  B. J. McRae, President of the Registrant, is President of
   AMIC. The Registrant also owns 100% of the outstanding 20% cumulative
   convertible preferred stock of AMIC.  The investment in this preferred
   stock was written down to  zero by the Registrant during fiscal 1990. 
   Write downs in subsequent periods totaling approximately $273,000 have
   been made on the Registrant's books to reduce notes and accounts
   receivable due from AMIC in order to reflect the Registrant's equity in
   AMIC.
   
   Employment
   As of July 29, 1995 The Registrant employed approximately 375 persons in
   all divisions and subsidiaries.  None of the Company's employees are
   represented by collective bargaining or a labor union.  The Company
   considers its relationship with its employees to be good.

   Board of Director, earnings, capital requirements, and financial
   condition.

   ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND 
   RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
   
   The Company reported revenues of $40.6 million for the 1995 fiscal year 
   as compared to $39.5 million for the same period in 1994 and $33.5
   million in 1993.   Revenues for 1995 were at a record high for the
   Company and represents the third consecutive year of increased revenues. 
   Bar code revenues continue to increase in importance to our business and
   currently constitute 43% of consolidated revenues as compared to 33% in
   1994.  Revenues for the footwear unit were down approximately $4.8
   million in fiscal 1995 but were only $1.7 million less than the 1993
   levels of $10.7 million.    The loss of revenues and operating profits
   from the footwear unit during fiscal 1995 was a large cause for the
   deterioration in net earnings for 1995.
   
   The following chart sets forth the net revenues, gross profits, selling,
   general and administrative expenses, and operating profits of the major
   business units for the fiscal years 1993 through 1995.

The above chart shows strong revenue growth during the past three fiscal years
for both the bar code and office products units which represent 72% of the 1995
revenues.  However, the effects of governmental budget constraints in lower
expenditure levels of purchases of combat boots has severely affected footwear's
revenues.  The Company is currently operating under a three year contract with
the US Government which began in August 1993.  The terms of this contract
require relatively constant shipments throughout the remaining period. 
During the third quarter of 1995, the Company signed a $2.9 million contract
with a foreign government to supply combat boots.   Delivery will begin
during the first quarter of fiscal 1996.  

Gross profit margins continue to erode in all three major units as a result of
either competitive pressures or lower production levels.  Competitive pricing
pressures for our bar code products caused the erosion in profit margins from
50% to 46% to 42% during the years 1993, 1994, and 1995, respectively.  This
erosion has slowed during the last part of 1995 and is expected to stabilize
during 1996.  The office product's margins decreased from 38% in 1993 and 1994
to 35% in 1994. The decreases were primarily caused by increased service costs
while profit margins for hardware and supply sales were relatively stable for
the three years ended in fiscal 1995.  The footwear margins dropped from 26%
to 22% to 18% during the years 1993, 1994, and 1995, respectively.  Footwear's
margins have been adversely affected by the decrease in production in 1995,
thereby decreasing the absorption of overhead and general and administrative
costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for fiscal 1995 returned to 1993
levels as a percentage of sales.  While sales increased 27%  in 1995 for the bar
code and the office products units in 1995, the related selling expenses
increased only 13% during fiscal 1995.  Consolidated selling expenses increased
from 13% of total revenues in 1994 to 14% in 1995 because the shift in revenues
during fiscal 1995 from footwear to the bar code and graphics units.    

Total operating profit as a percentage of total revenues was 8% for 1995 as
compared to 10% and 11% for 1994 and 1993 respectively.  The loss of revenues at
the footwear unit and the lower gross profit margins during 1995 caused the
operating profits to decline during 1995.  


Other income for the three years presented changed  primarily because a large
gain was included in 1993 of approximately  $110,000, and the equity in our
investee increased during 1995 resulting from a large infrequent sale.  Lower
state income taxes continue to reduce the effective tax rate for 1995 and 1994.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS

The Company has three primary business units: the bar code unit operates under
the name of Compsee, the sales and servicing of office products is performed
under the name of McRae Graphics, and the manufacturing of footwear is done
under the name of McRae Footwear.  The Company also operates several other
smaller business that are included in the other category in the above chart.

BAR CODE OPERATIONS

Compsee manufacturers and distributes bar code reading and printing devices and
other items related to optical data collection.  Compsee is concentrating its
efforts to expand into new markets throughout the United States and other parts
of the world  and currently has sales agents in the United States, Central and
South America, Europe, Australia, the Middle East, and some Pacific Rim
countries.

Total revenues for fiscal 1995 were 31% higher than in 1994 which was 12% higher
than in 1993.  Compsee has experienced four consecutive years of increased
revenues.   Approximately half of this increase in revenues has been caused by
new volume and very little of the increase was caused by inflation.  The volume
increase resulted in new and increased revenues in two geographic markets during
fiscal 1995 while other areas achieved moderate growth in 1995 and 1994.    An
acquisition in September 1994 caused revenue to increase approximately $1.7
million during 1995.  Operating profit as a percentage of revenues for this
segment increased to 12% for  fiscal 1995.  Despite the increased pressure on
pricing and gross margins, this unit has been able to  reduce both selling and
general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues by leveraging
the fixed and semi-fixed costs over the higher revenue base. The bar code unit's
selling, general and administrative expenses only increased approximately
$670,000 or 15% during 1995 and is 30% of sales as compared to 35% of sales
during 1994 and  1993.

OFFICE PRODUCTS

McRae Graphics sells and services certain office equipment of two major lines of
photocopier, facsimile, and digital printing equipment through nine offices in
North Carolina.

Total revenues for fiscal year 1995 were 21% higher than in 1994 which was 16%
higher than the fiscal 1993 revenues.  Revenues have continued to grow for four
consecutive years.  McRae Graphics sells various equipment and supplies and
services the equipment it sells.  Two new offices were operational during fiscal
1995 which resulted in most of the increase in revenues.   Gross margins
decreased approximately two percentage points during fiscal 1995.  This was
caused primarily by the service margins declining more than the equipment and
supplies margins.  Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 35%
of revenues for fiscal 1995 by leveraging the fixed and semi-fixed costs over
the higher revenues base.
 
FOOTWEAR

McRae Footwear manufactures military combat boots primarily for the United
States Government.  In an effort to supplement losses of production caused by
the Defense Department's overall reduction of combat boot orders, the Company
has begun producing boots for other markets.  This segment is currently
operating under the second year of a three year contract with the US Government.

<PAGE>

Total revenues decreased to $9 million for fiscal 1995 or 65% of the fiscal 1994
revenues.   Because of the terms of the government contract and lower production
levels, profit margins were adversely affected by absorption rates for overhead
and general and administrative expenses.


OTHER OPERATIONS

Our printing unit had a large bad debt occur during 1993 which caused selling,
general, and administrative expenses to increase substantially during that year
and caused that year's operating loss.   The primary cause of the large change
in operating profit in the other category during 1995 was the recovery of a bad
debt of approximately $85,000 in our financing and leasing unit.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Company continues to have a strong balance sheet with a current ratio of
over 3:1.  Total assets grew approximately 5% during fiscal 1995, while
stockholders' equity grew over 7% during the same period.

The increases in operations for our bar code and office products units resulted
in increased levels of inventories and accounts receivable  by the end of fiscal
1995.  The primary increases in our trade receivables were in the bar code and
office products units because of their increased sales activity.  The days sales
in their total trade receivables did not change significantly during 1995.  The
ageing of our trade receivables also continues to be good while our bad debts
for the past two years were minor.  These increases were the primary causes for
the decrease in cash balances and cash flow from operations during 1995.  The
Company also paid its borrowings from banks during fiscal 1995, thereby reducing
its interest expense for the fiscal year. 

Investing activities during 1995 used cash of $4.2 million and was affected by
the acquisition of the net assets of two bar code subsidiaries for $646,000, the
reduction of $712,000 for capital expenditures as compared to the 1994
expenditures and the purchase of approximately $2.4 million of short term
investments.  Construction of the Company's corporate offices and certain
manufacturing facilities during 1994 caused capital expenditures in 1994 to be
higher than normal.

At July 29, 1995, the Company had lines of credit with several banks totalling
$3.75 million, all of which was available to the Company.  The Company will
continue to have cash requirements to support working and capital needs.  In
order to meet these  cash requirements, the Company intends to use internally
generated funds and to borrow under its lines of credit, if necessary. 
Management believes that cash generated from these sources will be adequate to
meet the Company's cash requirements during the next fiscal year.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

The Company is subject to various laws and regulations concerning environmental
matters and employee safety and health in the United States.  The Company has
been able to comply with such laws and regulations without any material adverse
effect on its business.  In the opinion of management, the Company is not in
violation of any environmental laws or regulations that would have a material
adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

McRae Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries
For the Years Ended July 29, 1995, July 30, 1994 and July 31, 1993

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its subsidiaries. Minority interest represents the minority shareholder's
proportionate share of the equity of a majority-owned subsidiary. The
investment in an investee is accounted for on the equity method. Significant
intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents 
Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid debt instruments such as certificates
of deposit and commercial paper purchased with an original maturity date of
three months or less.

Securities
At July 29, 1995, investments in marketable equity and debt securities have been
categorized as available for sale and as a result are stated at fair value
based on quoted market prices.  Unrealized holding gains and losses, if
applicable, are included as a separate component of shareholders' equity until
realized.  At July 29, 1995, investments were stated at the lower of aggregrate
cost or market.  The effect of this change in accounting principles was not
material to the financial statements for fiscal 1995.   

Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using the last-in,
first-out (LIFO) method for the footwear and photocopier inventories and using
the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method for all other inventories.  

Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization
are provided on a straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and by
accelerated methods for income tax purposes.
                    
Service Revenue Recognition
Service maintenance agreements are sold for certain products. When such revenues
are recorded prior to providing repair and maintenance service, the revenues are
deferred and recognized over the term of the related agreements.

Goodwill 
Goodwill is amortized by the straight line method over periods ranging up to 20
years.  On a periodic basis, the Company estimates the future undiscounted cash
flow of the businesses to which goodwill relates to assess that the carrying
value of such goodwill has not been impaired.
   
Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of shares of common
stock outstanding during the year.

Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years' financial
statements and notes thereto to conform with the current year presentation.

<PAGE>

2. ACQUISITIONS

All acquisitions have been accounted for as purchases; operations of the
companies acquired have been included in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements from their respective dates of acquisition.  The excesses
of the purchase prices over fair value of the net assets acquired are included
in goodwill.  Supplemental information, combining the acquired companies on a
pro forma basis as though they were acquired at the beginning of the fiscal
years, has not been presented because it would have an immaterial effect on the
net revenues and income for the periods presented.

In September 1994, the Company acquired DataScan Corporation, a reseller of bar
code products located in South Carolina, for approximately $523,000.  The
allocation of the purchase prices over the fair value of the net assets
acquired resulted in an excess of approximately $600,000 and is being
amortized by the straight line method over twenty years.

In June 1995, the Company acquired Systems Intregrators, Inc., a consulting firm
primarily engaged in programming bar code related products, for approximately
$315,000. The allocation of the purchase price over the fair values of its net
assets acquired resulted in an excess of approximately $138,000 and is being
amortized by the straight line method over fifteen years.

3. INVESTMENTS
 
The following is a summary of the estimated fair value of available for sale
securities:

                                                   1995           1994
  Certificates of Deposit                        $2,332,000   $    -
  Mutual Funds                                      551,000     511,000
  Municipal Bonds                                   354,000     354,000
  Common Stocks                                       7,000       6,000
                                                 $3,244,000    $871,000
   
At July 29, 1995, all certificates of deposit had contractual maturities of one
year or less.  Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities of
the municipal bonds because the issurers of the securities may have the right
to prepay obligations without prepayment penalties.  Unrealized gains and losses
were not material at July 29, 1995 or July 30, 1994.

4. INVENTORIES

Current cost exceeds  the LIFO value of inventories by approximately $847,000
and $735,000 at July 29, 1995 and July 30, 1994, respectively.  Year end
inventories valued under the LIFO method were approximately $4,500,000 at
July 29, 1995 and approximately $3,700,000 at July 30, 1994.  The components of
inventory at each year end are as follows:
                                                     1995               1994
Raw materials                                     $1,093,000       $   857,000

At its sole discretion, the Board of Directors determines the amount and the
timing of payment for benefits under these plans.

The Company's noncontributory defined benefit pension plan and employee stock
ownership plan cover substantially all employees. On September 30, 1992 the
Board of Directors decided to terminate the defined benefit pension plan. The
amount owed to the pension plan as a result of the plan's termination has not
yet been determined by the actuary, but additional required funding, if any,
is not expected to exceed the amount accrued as of July 29, 1995. The defined
benefit pension plan provided for benefits based on length of service from date
of employment and the employee's average compensation.  Plan assets are
invested principally in collective funds consisting of short-term cash,
fixed-income and equity investments.

The weighted average discount rate used in determining the actuarial present
value of the projected benefit obligation was 8% for 1992.  The expected
long-term rate of return on assets is 8%.

The employee stock ownership plan's (ESOP) principal investments include shares
of Class "A" and "B" common stock of the Company and collective funds
consisting of short-term cash, fixed-income and equity investments.

Employee benefit program expense amounted to $725,000, $850,000 and $550,000
in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. To the extent the amount of these
benefits are not disbursed, the Board may, at its sole discretion, reduce any
remaining accruals.

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Minority Interest
The Company has entered into a restrictive stock agreement with the minority
shareholder of its majority owned subsidiary. Under the terms of the agreement,
the Company has the right of first refusal to purchase at any time any shares
representing the minority interest in the subsidiary at a defined book value of
said shares. The minority shareholder has the right to sell twenty percent of
his shares per year to the Company in November 1994 and each year thereafter,
at the defined book value of such shares, provided the minority shareholder
remains employed by the subsidiary.

Credit Facilities
The Company has loan agreements with several banks pursuant to which the banks
have agreed to provide lines of credit up to $3,750,000 subject to certain
restrictions at the banks' prime interest rate.  

Concentrations Of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company  to significant
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, securities,
trade and notes receivables, and capitalized leases.  Allowances are maintained
for potential credit losses, and such losses have been within management's
expectations.

The Company maintains substantially all of its cash and certificates of deposit
with various financial institutions in amounts which are in excess of the
Federally insured limits.   Management of the Company performs periodic
evaluations of the relative credit standing of those financial institutions and
does not expect to incur any losses.  The Company has various other investments
in securities that are diversified to reduce the risk to principal from credit
and investment sector risk.  Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade
receivables and capitalized leases are limited due to the large number of
entities comprising the Company's customer base, the individual debtor's
financial strength, and/or their dispersion across many different industries.
The Company does not normally require colleteral relating to normal trade
receivables or leases, however the notes receivable do require colleteral.  The
Comapny has receivables in the amount of $1,687,000 from the President and a
seperate business owned by the President and does not require colleteral for
those receivables. 

Other
Under the terms of sale to the U.S. Government, the negotiated contract prices
of combat boots are subject to renegotiation if certain conditions are present.
Management is of the opinion that renegotiation, if any, will have no material
adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of
operations.
