              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)


NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the six months ended January 31, 1998 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending August 1, 1998. For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the McRae Industries,
Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 2, 1997.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year's financial
statements to conform with the current year's presentation.

NOTE B - INVENTORIES

An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at the
end of each fiscal year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time.
Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations are based on management's estimates of
expected year-end inventory levels and costs. Because these are subject to
forces beyond management's control, interim calculations are subject to change
based on the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation.

The components of inventory consist of the following (in thousands):

MCRAE INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the attached
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, and
with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August
2, 1997, including the financial information and management's discussion and
analysis contained or incorporated by reference therein.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

At January 31, 1998, the Company's working capital and liquidity continued to
show elements of strength with a current ratio of 3.5 to 1 and with cash and
cash equivalents amounting to approximately $4.4 million.

Cash generated by operating activities for the six months ended January 31, 1998
amounted to $1.5 million. Net income from operations, adjusted for depreciation
and amortization, contributed approximately $1.9 million. Accounts and notes
receivable increased by approximately $800,000 as consolidated sales for the
most recent reporting quarter exceeded the consolidated sales reported for the
fourth quarter of fiscal 1997 by nearly $1.5 million. Inventories used over $1.7
million of cash primarily attributable to the office products unit which
replenished stock levels to accommodate an increase in sales activity to
multiunit users such as county-wide school systems. Capitalized leases
associated with the office products unit decreased during the period by $443,000
as a result of utilizing outside sources to fund equipment leases.

Approximately $2.0 million of cash was provided by the increase in accounts
payable and was primarily attributable to the timing of payments on inventory
purchases for the office products and footwear units.

Capital expenditures of $1.1 million were used to acquire rental machines for
the office products unit, a new corporate telephone system, and various office
and manufacturing equipment. The Company also used $220,000 to increase its
ownership in the bar code unit from 92% to 94%.

Lines of credit and long term debt were reduced by $900,000. Dividends of
$328,000 were paid.

The Company currently has a line of credit with a bank amounting to $2.75
million, all of which was available at January 31, 1998. A $1.0 million line of
credit was being renegotiated at quarter end and should be available in the near
future. In Management's opinion the Company's future working capital and debt
repayment requirements will be adequately covered by the current available cash
and cash equivalents, lines of credit, and cash flows from operations.

SECOND QUARTER FISCAL 1998 COMPARED TO SECOND QUARTER FISCAL 1997

Consolidated net revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 1998 were nearly
identical to the consolidated net revenues reported for the same period of
fiscal 1997. The footwear unit posted an increase in net revenues of
approximately $500,000 between the comparative quarters primarily as a result of
the timing of shipment of military, western and work boots. The office products
and printing units generated second quarter increases in net revenues of
approximately $530,000 compared to the same period of fiscal 1997 largely
attributable to greater demand for products and services associated with these
business units. Comparative second quarter net revenues for the bar code unit
decreased by approximately $1.0 million primarily resulting from the impact of a


                                       8
<PAGE>   9

large one time order manufactured and shipped during the second quarter of
fiscal 1997.

Management expects revenues for the remainder of the 1998 fiscal year to be
adversely affected by market conditions related to the footwear unit. The "base
year" period of the U. S. Government contract covering the military combat boots
will end in April 1998. The U. S. Government has informed the Company that it
intends to exercise the initial one-year option period to purchase additional
military combat boots. However, the Government has informed the Company in
response to its current level of inventory for military combat boots that it
will reduce the aggregate number of military combat boots to be purchased under
the contract. The Company expects the reduced award to depress future revenues
generated by the military combat boot business. The reduction may be partially
offset by a modest increase in the price for the military combat boots paid by
the Government permitted in connection with the modified award. Management also
believes that the demand for western and work boots, which typically declines
during the spring and summer months, will be depressed to a greater extent than
the past several years. In response to this reduction in business, the Company
will implement cost containment programs. On March 13, 1998, the Company
informed its employees at American West Trading Company that it would reduce the
workforce at its Waverly, Tennessee plant by approximately 43% (80 employees) in
response to the decline in demand for western and work boots and other military
boots manufactured at that facility.

Consolidated gross profit for the comparative second quarter of fiscal 1998
decreased by approximately $560,000. Gross profit as a percent of net revenues
declined from 29.0% in the second quarter of fiscal 1997 to 25.3% for the same
quarter of fiscal 1998. The declining gross profit resulted primarily from fixed
manufacturing costs being spread over reduced production from the footwear unit.
Competitive price pressures associated with the bar code business also
contributed to the decrease in gross margin.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased from approximately
$3.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal 1997 to approximately $2.9 million
for the same quarter of fiscal 1998. Decreased expenditures for outside sales
commissions, royalty expense, administrative salaries, employee benefits, and
health care were the primary reasons for the decline in SG&A costs.

FIRST SIX MONTHS FISCAL 1998 COMPARED TO FIRST SIX MONTHS FISCAL 1997

Consolidated net revenues for the first six months of fiscal 1998 declined $2.2
million as compared the consolidated net revenues reported for the first six
months of fiscal 1997. The footwear unit's net revenues declined approximately
$2.2 million for the comparative 1998 fiscal period as a result of lower
contract quantities for military boots and continued softening of the western
and work boot market. The bar code business decreased by approximately $.8
million for the comparative 1998 period and can be attributed to the effect of a
large order shipped during the second quarter of fiscal 1997. The office
products and printing businesses posted net revenue increases for the
comparative 1998 period amounting to approximately $1.0 million as demand
remained strong for duplicating equipment and printed materials.

Consolidated gross profit decreased from approximately $8.9 million for the
first six months for fiscal 1997 to approximately $7.7 million for same period
of fiscal 1998. Consolidated gross profit as a percent of net revenues dropped
from 27.5% to 25.6% for the comparative periods for fiscal 1997 and 1998,
respectively. Unfavorable manufacturing variances associated with lower
production levels from the footwear unit and competitive price pressures faced
by the bar code unit are the primary factors for the decline in gross margins.


                                        9
<PAGE>   10

SG&A expenses for the first six months of fiscal 1998 amounted to approximately
$5.8 million, down approximately $186,000 from the amount reported for the same
period of fiscal 1997. Reduced expenditures primarily related to outside sales
commissions, royalties, administrative salaries, and employee benefits and
healthcare were responsible for the decreased costs. As a percent of net
revenues, however, SG&A expenses continued to maintain a 19% level.
