                           FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ITEM 1.   FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

     The financial statements required under Item 1 are set forth in
Appendix A to this Report on Form 10-Q and are herein incorporated by
reference.


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

BACKGROUND

     Effective December 31, 1995, Brainerd International, Inc. ("Brainerd")
merged (the "Merger") with and into The Colonel's International, Inc. (the
"Company").  The Company was the surviving corporation in the Merger. 
Prior to the Merger, Brainerd had 677,830 shares of its common stock
outstanding and traded on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market (symbol BIRI). 
Pursuant to the Merger, these shares were converted into the same number of
shares of common stock in the Company.

     Also effective December 31, 1995, Brainerd Merger Corporation, a
Michigan corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Brainerd, merged with
and into The Colonel's, Inc. ("The Colonel's").  The Colonel's was the
surviving corporation in this merger.  In consideration of this merger, the
Company issued 23,500,000 shares of its common stock to Donald J.
Williamson and Patsy L. Williamson, who were the sole shareholders in The
Colonel's.  In addition, Brainerd transferred all of its operating assets
to its newly formed subsidiary, Brainerd International Raceway, Inc.
("Brainerd International Raceway, Inc."). 

     As a result of these transactions, the Company now has two wholly
owned subsidiaries: The Colonel's and Brainerd International Raceway.

     For accounting purposes, the transaction was treated as a
recapitalization of the Company with the Company as the acquiror (a reverse
acquisition).  The effective date of the Merger was December 31, 1995. 
Therefore, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are included in the
Company's balance sheet at December 31, 1995.  The historical financial
statements prior to December 31, 1995 are those of The Colonel's only and
do not include any operating results of Brainerd.  Beginning January 1,
1996, the incomes of both The Colonel's and Brainerd International Raceway
are reflected and reported as combined income in the consolidated income
statement.

THE COLONEL'S, INC.

     The Colonel's was organized in 1982 and began producing and selling
plastic bumpers and facias in 1983.  By the start of 1996, The Colonel's
had grown through acquisitions, joint ventures, and normal expansion to two
manufacturing plants, four distribution warehouses and a network of
independent distributors that sell The Colonel's products throughout the
United States, Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Bahamas, and the District of
Columbia.  The recent start up of a new truck accessory division that
manufactures and sells pickup truck bedliners and tail gate covers (the
"Bedliner Division"), and the formation of Brainerd International Raceway
as a subsidiary of the Company, represent efforts by the Company to begin
to diversify into other areas outside the automotive collision parts
industry.

BRAINERD INTERNATIONAL RACEWAY, INC.

     From the time of its formation in 1982, Brainerd has operated a motor
sports facility located approximately six miles northwest of Brainerd,
Minnesota.  As of 1996, this facility is now operated by Brainerd
International Raceway, a subsidiary of the Company.  Substantially all of
Brainerd International Raceway's revenues are obtained from motor sports
racing events at the raceway.  Historically, Brainerd International Raceway
has scheduled racing and other events to be held at the racetrack during
weekends in the months of May through September each year. 

COMBINED OPERATIONS

     The Colonel's Milan manufacturing plant is a 350,000 square foot
facility (plus a 45,000 square foot covered crane bay) situated on a 62
acre site on the outskirts of Milan, Michigan.  Milan is located
approximately 10 miles south of Ann Arbor, Michigan, 60 miles west of
Detroit, and 25 miles northwest of Toledo, Ohio. There is sufficient room
to expand the physical plant.  The Milan plant manufactures the aftermarket
bumper facias.  This facility is leased from a company owned by Donald and
Patsy Williamson.

     The Colonel's new Owosso manufacturing facility occupies a 210,000
square foot building located on 27 acres on the outskirts of Owosso,
Michigan.   Owosso is located about 100 miles northwest of Milan, Michigan
and about 30 miles northeast of Lansing, Michigan.  The building has power
capacities exceeding current use and would permit expansion if necessary. 
This plant manufactures truck accessories.  It is also leased from a
company owned by Donald and Patsy Williamson.

     Brainerd International Raceway owns and operates a three-mile race
track including a one-quarter mile drag strip located approximately six
miles northwest of Brainerd, Minnesota.  The terrain of the 600 acre site


                                      -3-
<PAGE>    4
is slightly rolling hills and is partially wooded.  The track and various
roads are composed of blacktop.  The Brainerd International Raceway
contains several buildings, including a four-story tower containing twelve
executive viewing suites, a control tower, various single story buildings
containing concession stands, rest rooms, and storage and service
facilities located throughout the property.  The buildings are concrete or
wood frame and are suitable for warm weather use only.  Grandstand
bleachers for approximately 18,000 spectators are primarily located along
the drag strip.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company's consolidated current assets slightly decreased from
$11,483,000 at December 31, 1995 to $11,271,000 at September 30, 1996. 
Current liabilities decreased from $15,026,000 at December 31, 1995 to
$13,966,000 at September 30, 1996. The change in current liabilities
resulted primarily from a $1,400,000 decrease in accounts payable.  The
decrease was offset by additional financing of equipment/lease
obligations at the Bedliner Division.  The Company's subsidiaries made
all of their scheduled principal and interest payments on their
outstanding debt and leases during the third quarter of 1996.

     Inventories increased by $800,000 at September 30, 1996 compared to
December 31, 1995 due to increased production to build initial warehouse
stock needed in anticipation of fall sales.  The Colonel's routinely
attempts to maintain a 60-day supply of each product available for
immediate shipment.  Inventory levels traditionally decline during the
first quarter of the year and are replenished by late summer.  During the
nine months ending September 30, 1996 the Company wrote down inventory
$600,000 with a corresponding charge to Cost of Sales for manufacturing
cost variations.

     Deposits on tools and machinery decreased at September 30, 1996
compared to December 31, 1995, due to a reclassification to property, plant
and equipment.  When equipment is delivered and accepted by the Company,
the recorded deposits are reclassified to property, plant and equipment.

     Prepaid expenses decreased from December 31, 1995 to September 30,
1996 due to normal amortization for the 9 month period.

     The Colonel's signed permanent capital leases to replace interim
leases for the additional Bedliner Division equipment during the second
quarter of 1996.  Approximately $960,000 remains in deposits on machinery
financed by interim leases.

     Notes receivable that were outstanding at December 31, 1995 have all
been repaid at September 30, 1996.



                                      -4-
<PAGE>    5
     As a result of the Merger, the acquisition value of Brainerd
International Raceway exceeded the value of the assets by $425,000.  The
associated amortization expense for the twelve-month period ending December
31, 1996 will be $52,000.  The Company has chosen to expense this at one
time instead of amortizing throughout the year.

OUTSTANDING DEBT

     The Colonel's has a $4,500,000 line of credit secured by accounts
receivable and inventory with a term that expires in May 1997.  The
Colonel's expects to negotiate renewals as necessary with its current
lending institution.  Interest is paid at prime on a monthly basis.  The
outstanding balance on the line of credit was $4,500,000 at September 30,
1996.  Brainerd International Raceway has a $300,000 line of credit which
is secured by all of its assets, of which $272,000 was outstanding at
September 30, 1996.

     The Colonel's received new financing of $6,000,000 in April 1995,
under a facility which calls for payments of $200,000 in principal plus
interest on a monthly basis calculated at 0.5 percent over prime on the
outstanding balance.  The loan is secured by machinery and equipment and
had a balance of $3,000,000 at September 30, 1996.  If the need arose, the
Company believes it could obtain additional financing using its machinery
and equipment as collateral.

     Brainerd International Raceway has a mortgage in the amount of
$468,000, which is secured by property.  This loan requires quarterly
interest payments at 2 percent above prime and a single principal payment
made in the third quarter of $50,000 per year through 2004.

     The balance on The Colonel's mortgage of its former Owosso facility
was $979,000 at the end of the third quarter of 1996.

     The Colonel's entered into a capital lease to finance equipment for
the new Owosso location.  The Colonel's leased $5,095,000 worth of that
equipment under a six-year agreement with monthly payments of $79,000 which
includes an option for the Company to purchase the equipment for $1.00 upon
expiration of the lease term. The leases are collateralized by the
machinery.  The Colonel's has also financed interim leases in the amount of
$960,000 which are deposits paid to the machinery manufacturers.  As the
machinery is delivered and accepted by The Colonel's, final payments will
be made by the leasing company by signing a permanent lease.  The remaining
balance is $650,000.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Revenues for The Colonel's were $11,200,000 for the quarter ending
September 30, 1996, compared to $7,062,000 for the same period in 1995. 


                                      -5-
<PAGE>    6
The growth in 1996 was primarily due to direct sales efforts, the addition
of the Bedliner Division, the addition of revenues from Brainerd
International Raceway which were not reflected in last year's pre-merger
revenues, and the addition of a new warehouse in Totowa, New Jersey.

     Revenues for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1996 increased
approximately $8,000,000 over the same period in 1995.  The Bumper Division
(which includes all direct warehouses) led this growth with an increase in
sales over last year by $3,500,000.  Brainerd International Raceway
contributed $2,500,000, and the Bedliner Division contributed $2,000,000.

     Cost of sales have increased from 70 percent of sales for the nine
months ending September 30, 1995 to 73 percent for the same nine months in
1996, in part because of the start-up costs of the Bedliner Division.

     Gross profits for the three-month period ended September 30, 1996
increased from 22 percent in 1995 to 26 percent in 1996.  The gross profit
for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1996, is 27 percent, compared
to 30 percent in the same period in 1995.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales
were consistent with the percent of sales for the third quarter 1995 of 14
percent.  The nine-month comparison continues to decrease from 15 percent
in 1995 to 14 percent of sales in 1996. Although more sales staff were
added in the third quarter, the increase in sales associated with the costs
of the additional staff continues to be favorable.

     Interest expense increased by $250,000 for the nine months ending
September 30, 1996 over the same period last year, due to the addition of
the new equipment leases that the Company has at the Bedliner Division.

     To date, the Company has accrued $1,189,000 for income taxes, which
reflects the Company's expected effective tax rate of 37 percent.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     Director Richard L. Roe resigned effective October 11, 1996.

     The Company borrowed an additional $1,000,000 from their primary
lending bank to purchase prime property in Florida.


                                  PART II
                             OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

     As described in the Company's Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1995, The Colonel's was a defendant and counterplaintiff in a

                                      -6-
<PAGE>    7
suit filed December 5, 1991, in the United States District Court for the
Eastern District of Michigan, in a private action seeking damages under the
Federal Antitrust statutes.  The Colonel's settled this lawsuit on
September 30, 1996.  The terms of the settlement are restricted from
disclosure but call for The Colonel's to pay out certain amounts in cash
and merchandise.  The Company has accrued for the settlement.

     During the third quarter of 1996, there were no other material
developments in legal proceedings involving the Company or its
subsidiaries.  These proceedings were described in the Company's Annual

Note 5  INCOME TAXES

        Effective December 31, 1995 The Colonel's, Inc. changed its tax
        status from an "S" corporation to a "C" corporation.  The
        provision for income taxes reflects the Company's expected
        estimated effective tax rate of approximately 37 percent.

Note 6  EARNINGS PER SHARE

        The computation of earnings per share is based on the weighted
        average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the
        three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1996.  The
        pro forma earnings per share for the three-month and nine-month
        periods has been calculated as if the Merger and the Company's
        change in tax status had occurred on January 1, 1995.

Note 7  LITIGATION

        In connection with the acquisition of a facility in Florida (known
        as "NuPar") The Colonel's signed employment agreements with the
        former NuPar shareholders for the three-year period beginning
        December 1991.  In 1994, the former NuPar shareholders filed a
        lawsuit against The Colonel's for $1,800,000, claiming they had
        met the conditions of the agreement and were therefore entitled to
        the payments thereunder.  In July, 1995, the Company settled these
        actions for $1.4 million, payable in installments through January
        1997, and has accrued remaining compensation of $200,000 at
        September 30, 1996.

        A suit was filed against The Colonel's in 1992 claiming The
        Colonel's violated antitrust laws and alleging that The Colonel's
        has engaged in predatory pricing, monopolization and anti-
        competitive acquisitions.  Discovery has narrowed the plaintiffs'
        theories of recoveries and the allegedly offending predatory
        prices.  The Colonel's has settled the dispute.  The Settlement
        restricts disclosure of the terms.  The Colonel's has accrued for
        the settlement and costs.

        The Company is involved in various other legal proceedings which
        have arisen in the normal course of the operations.  The Company
        has accrued its best estimate of the cost of litigation based on
        known facts.  It is possible that this estimate may change in the
        near term as these lawsuits progress.  Although the final
        resolution of any such matters could have a material effect on the
        Company's operating results for the particular reporting period in
        which an adjustment of the estimated liability is recorded, the
        Company believes that any resulting liability should not
        materially affect its financial position.

Note 8  ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION

        The Company is responsible for the remediation of hazardous
        materials and ground contamination located at its former
        manufacturing facility in Owosso, Michigan, which was destroyed by
        fire in June of 1993.  In August 1993, the Michigan Department of
        Natural Resources required that the Company perform a complete
        hydrogeological study of the site to determine the extent of the
        contamination.  The Company has engaged environmental consultants
        to determine the extent of the hazardous materials located at this
        site, if any, and the cost of any remediation.  The Company has
        accrued its best estimate of the cost of remediation based on
        known facts.  It is possible that this estimate may change in the
        near term as the project progresses.  Although the final
        resolution of any such matters could have a material effect on the
        Company's operating results for the particular reporting period in
        which an adjustment of the estimated liability is recorded, the
        Company believes that any resulting liability should not
        materially affect its financial position.

        As part of the lease agreement with a related party for the Milan,
        Michigan facility, the Company is also responsible for the
        remediation of hazardous material, if any, up to an amount of
        $2,000,000, which existed at this site prior to The Colonel's
        entering into the lease in June 1993.  The Company has accrued for
        estimated remediation costs based on an environmental study of the
        site.  The Company has accrued its best estimate of the cost of
        remediation based on known facts.  It is possible that this
        estimate may change in the near term as the project progresses. 
        Although the final resolution of any such matters could have a
        material effect on the Company's operating results for the
        particular reporting period in which an adjustment of the
        estimated liability is recorded, the Company believes that any
        resulting liability should not materially affect its financial
        position.
