PART I
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
The financial statements required under Item 1 of Part I 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
As discussed herein, The Colonel's International, Inc. (the "Company")
has four subsidiaries: The Colonel's, Inc. ("The Colonel's"), The Colonel's
Truck Accessories, Inc. ("CTA"), The Colonel's Rugged Liner, Inc. ("CRL")
and Brainerd International Raceway, Inc. ("BIR"). CRL was formed in March
1998, in connection with the acquisition of four Pennsylvania corporations
engaged in the truck accessories business. This acquisition was completed
in April 1998.
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, five distribution warehouses (located in Dallas,
Texas; Houston, Texas; Glendale (Phoenix), Arizona; West Memphis, Arkansas;
and Totowa, New Jersey), and a network of independent distributors that
sell The Colonel's products throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico,
Puerto Rico, the Bahamas and the District of Columbia.
THE COLONEL'S TRUCK ACCESSORIES, INC.
CTA manufactures and sells pickup truck bedliners and tail gate covers
through a distributor network. In March 1997, CTA finalized its purchase
out of bankruptcy of the assets of Truckware, Inc., a truck accessories
warehouse and distributor located in California. Truckware was in the
business of selling such items to wholesale subdistributors and dealerships
and also offering installation services and direct sales to retail
customers. CTA plans to continue these activities and also to sell CTA's
manufactured bedliners and other truck accessories.
CTA opened other Truckware outlet stores in Charlotte, North Carolina
and Flint, Michigan. In 1997, CTA purchased certain assets of Eastern Off
Road Equipment, Inc. with retail outlet stores located in Pennsylvania,
-2-
<PAGE>
Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia. Recently, CTA purchased the assets
of the following: Road and Truck, which is located in Thousand Oaks,
California; Dealers Choice, which is located in Collinsville, Illinois and
serves the St. Louis metropolitan area; Duraliner of Nashville in
Nashville, Tennessee; Sun Shade Custom located in Franklin, Tennessee; Wild
Bill's Truck Accessories in Upland, California; Bedliner Kingdom in Los
Angeles, California; and Southland Shell in Pomona, California. These
facilities will warehouse and sell bedliners, caps, tonneau covers and
other purchased truck accessory products to the wholesale and retail
markets.
Additionally, CTA purchased the assets of Horizon Coach, Inc., a
manufacturing company located in Riverside, California. This facility
manufactures custom pick-up truck caps, sport tops and tonneau covers. CTA
operates this facility under the name The Colonel's Truck Accessories,
Inc., and uses it to supply products to CTA's truck accessory outlet
stores.
These various acquisitions are not material to the financial position
or results of operations of the Company.
THE COLONEL'S RUGGED LINER, INC.
CRL was formed in March 1998 in connection with the acquisition by
merger of four Pennsylvania corporations: Rugged Liner, Inc., Triad
Management Group, Inc., Aerocover, Inc., and Ground Force, Inc.
(collectively, the "Rugged Liner Companies"). In this acquisition, which
was consummated in April 1998, each of the Rugged Liner Companies merged
with and into CRL, with CRL being the surviving corporation. The Rugged
Liner Companies, which are located in Uniontown, Pennsylvania, manufacture
non-skid bedliners and bed mats, as well as ground lowering kits for sport
utility vehicles (SUVs). CRL has a distribution warehouse/service center
in Pomona, California. CRL, as successor to the Rugged Liner Companies,
will concentrate its efforts on export sales.
BRAINERD INTERNATIONAL RACEWAY, INC.
BIR operates a motor sports facility located approximately six miles
northwest of Brainerd, Minnesota. Substantially all of BIR's revenues are
obtained from motor sports racing events at the raceway. BIR schedules
racing and other events held at the racetrack during weekends in the months
of May through September of each year.
ACQUISITIONS THIS PERIOD
CTA made four acquisitions during the second quarter of 1998: the
Rugged Liner Companies, as described above; Sun Shade Custom, in Franklin,
Tennessee; Dealers Choice Distribution, Inc., in Collinsville, Illinois;
and DC Sales, Inc. in Collinsville, Illinois.

FACILITIES
The Colonel's Milan bumper 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. The Colonel's
manufactures aftermarket bumper facias at the Milan facility, which has
sufficient expansion room. This facility is leased from a company owned by
Donald and Patsy Williamson, the majority shareholders of the Company.
CTA's bedliner 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.
CRL manufactures bedliners for export and SUV ground lowering kits in
a 160,000 square foot building in Uniontown, Pennsylvania, about one hour
southeast of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This facility also serves as a
master warehouse for the Eastern Off Road retail outlet stores.
BIR owns and operates a three-mile race track including a one-quarter
mile drag strip located approximately six miles northwest of Brainerd,
Minnesota. BIR's premises feature several buildings, including a four-
story tower with 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 36,000 spectators are primarily
located along the drag strip.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's consolidated current assets increased from $16,267,000
at December 31, 1997 to $19,896,000 at June 30, 1998. Consolidated current
liabilities increased from $13,160,000 at December 31, 1997 to $17,599,000
at the end of the second quarter of 1998.
Cash decreased from $1,723,000 at December 31, 1997 to $583,000 at
June 30, 1998, primarily due to the sale of the Company's Boynton Beach,
Florida property, which occurred on the last day of December, 1997. The
proceeds from this sale ($1,025,000) were used to pay down accounts payable
and other debt.
-4-
<PAGE>
The accounts receivable balance at June 30, 1998 increased by
approximately $1,509,000 compared to December 31, 1997, primarily due to
the acquisition of CRL, which added $1,287,000, and other additional
businesses that were acquired or started during the second quarter of 1998.
A note receivable from the majority shareholder was established during
the third quarter of 1997 for $1,060,000. The note receivable bears
interest at 8 percent annually.
The inventory balance increased from $9,214,000 at December 31, 1997
to $12,398,000 as of June 30, 1998. This was primarily due to the addition
of new locations and the broadening of inventories at Eastern Off Road to a
more optimum level.
Prepaid expenses increased by $24,000 from December 31, 1997 to June
30, 1998, due to the normal expense of prepaid insurance, offset by advance
rentals and security deposits for new CTA warehouses.
Property, plant and equipment increased by $2,620,000 between December
31, 1997 and June 30, 1998. During the second quarter of 1998, The
Colonel's added $4,614,000 in fixed assets. Depreciation expense was
approximately $1,023,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998. The
Company used the best estimates and available information to preliminarily
allocate the purchase price to the net assets acquired in the Rugged Liner
acquisition. Any subsequent adjustments that may be required will be
offset to goodwill.
Deposits increased from $630,000 at December 31, 1997 to $2,247,000 at
June 30, 1998. The increase relates to progress payments toward various
new tools that are on order for The Colonel's and CTA. The Company holds
payments toward uncompleted tools in deposits until the tool is completed,
at which time the tool is transferred to property, plant and equipment.
Goodwill increased from $379,000 as of December 31, 1997 to $3,227,000
at June 30, 1998. The $2,848,000 increase is related to the acquisition of
the Rugged Liner Companies and is being amortized over seven years.
Notes payable increased by $579,000 as the Company drew down on the
line of credit to purchase the balance of its interest in Dealers Choice.
Accounts payable increased from $1,837,000 at December 31, 1997 to
$3,459,000 at June 30, 1998. The increase is a result of the acquired
accounts payable of $575,000 from the Rugged Liner Companies and $339,000
from the acquisition of Dealers Choice, Road and Truck and Duraliner, plus
an increase in inventory levels.
Accrued expenses increased $396,000 due to a credit for merchandise
granted in connection with an asset acquisition and an increase in advance
ticket sales by BIR.

OUTSTANDING DEBT
In May 1997, the Company entered into a $7,000,000 term note
which requires monthly payments of $167,000 plus interest at prime plus
0.25 percent. The term note has a maturity date of November 1, 2000. The
loan is secured by all of the Company's assets and had a balance of
$4,829,000 at June 30, 1998.
The Company's line of credit was renegotiated in April 1998. The
Company's $6,000,000 line of credit was increased to $8,000,000 and now
expires in May 1999. The line of credit is secured by all of the Company's
assets. Interest is paid at prime on a monthly basis. From time to time
the Company funds its line of credit with Eurodollars that allow the
Company to borrow at a rate below prime for a fixed period of time. The
outstanding balance on the line of credit was $6,579,000 at June 30, 1998.
BIR has a $300,000 line of credit which is secured by all of its
assets. There was a balance of $40,000 at June 30, 1998.
BIR has a mortgage with a balance of $469,000 at June 30, 1998, which
is secured by property. This loan requires quarterly interest payments at
2 percent above prime and a single $50,000 principal payment in the third
quarter of each year through 2004.
In 1996, The Colonel's acquired three capital leases to finance
equipment for CTA. The Colonel's leased $6,435,000 worth of equipment
under a six-year agreement with monthly payments of approximately $100,000.
Each lease includes an option to purchase the equipment for $1.00 upon
expiration of the lease term. The leases are collateralized by the
machinery. At June 30, 1998, the balance due on these three capital leases
was $4,815,000.
During 1997, the Company also entered into a 24-month lease extension
on the semi-tractor trailers that it was already leasing from its lending
institution. Pursuant to the extension agreement, the Company continues to
lease the vehicles for an aggregate monthly payment of $15,000. Under the
extension agreement, the Company has an option to buy the trailers for
$1.00 upon completion of the extended term. The balance on this capital
lease was $226,000 at June 30, 1998.
In April 1998, the Company secured a $7,500,000 acquisition line of
credit with its primary lending institution, part of which was utilized in
the acquisition of the Rugged Liner Companies. The Company will pay
interest only on the outstanding balance until December 1998 when the
balance will be rolled into a term note where monthly payments of both
principal and interest will be due. The interest rate is equal to prime.
The balance at June 30, 1998 was $4,075,000.
-6-
<PAGE>
In connection with the purchase of Dealers Choice, the Company assumed
a Small Business Administration (SBA) loan. The balance on this loan as of
June 30, 1998 was $210,000. Also, the Company assumed a real estate loan
with the balance of $145,000 at June 30, 1998. The Company plans to pay
both loans off in the near future.
The Company has financed vehicles to be used at the sales retail
outlet stores. The collective balance on these vehicles at June 30, 1998
was $204,000. The collective balance on financed vehicles for all other
operations at June 30, 1998 was $111,000.
The Company anticipates that future capital requirements and
acquisitions will be financed through earnings from operations, amounts
under its line of credit, and amounts available on the acquisition line of
credit.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenues for the Company were $14,409,000 for the quarter ending
June 30, 1998, compared to $11,119,000 for the same period in 1997. The
increase in 1998 was primarily due to increased sales by CTA, and from
acquisitions. Revenues for The Colonel's for the first six months of 1998
were $3,500,000 less than for the same period in 1997, primarily due to
unseasonably warm winter conditions that resulted in less than normal
snowfall, thus lowering the number of automobile accidents.
Cost of sales decreased from 76 percent of sales for the three months
ended June 30, 1997, to 71 percent for the same three-month period in 1998.
This decrease is primarily due to poor bumper sales resulting from mild
conditions in the snow belt during the 1997-1998 winter and the Company's
decision to cut back production costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales
for the second quarter of 1998 grew to 17 percent compared to 14 percent of
sales in the same period of 1997.
Net income increased $195,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998
as compared to the three months ended June 30, 1997.
Interest expense increased by $245,000 for the three months ending
June 30, 1998, over the same period of 1997. The increase is the result of
a higher average outstanding balance under the new term note added in May
1997 that replaced the previous term note, and the interest associated with
the acquisition line of credit obtained in April 1998.
-7-
<PAGE>
The Company's income tax liability for the second quarter of 1998 was
approximately $320,000.
Earnings per share during the second quarter of 1998, as compared to
the second quarter of 1997, was $0.04 per share and $0.03 per share,
respectively.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Note 1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The financial information included herein is unaudited; however
such information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of
normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of
operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods
presented.
The results of operations for the three months and six months ended
June 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected
for the full year.
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", which is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. The statement
changes the reporting of certain items currently reported in the
shareholders' equity section of the balance sheet and establishes
standards for reporting of comprehensive income and its components
in a full set of general purpose financial statements. The effect
of SFAS No. 130 is not material to the financial position or
results of operations of the Company.
SFAS No. 131 "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and
Related Information" applies to all public entities and is
effective for financial statement periods beginning after December
15, 1997. However, SFAS No. 131 is not required to be applied to
interim financial statements in the initial year of application.
Therefore, the Company has elected not to adopt SFAS No. 131 at
this time.

During the third quarter of 1997, a note receivable from the
majority shareholder of $1,044,956 was established.

Note 8 INCOME TAXES
The Company's income tax liability for the second quarter of 1998
was approximately $320,000.
Note 9 EARNINGS PER SHARE
In accordance with SFAS 128, basic earnings per share for June 30,
1998 and 1997 calculated as net income divided by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding of 24,355,904 and
24,177,805, respectively. Diluted earnings per share was calculated
as net income divided by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding of 24,363,655 and 24,178,506, respectively, which
has been increased by the number of additional common shares that would
have been outstanding if the dilutive shares had been issued
(7,751) and (701) for 1998 and 1997 respectively. Due to the
small number of additional potentially dilutive shares, there was
no material effect on earnings per share, therefore basic and
diluted earnings per share are the same.
Note 10 LITIGATION
No material developments in the litigation discussed in the
Company's Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997
occurred during the first two quarters of 1998.
Note 11 ENVIRONMENTAL
No material developments in the environmental matters discussed in
the Company's Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
1997 occurred during the first two quarters of 1998.
Note 12 ACQUISITIONS
During 1998, the Company acquired inventory of $875,000, accounts
receivable of $206,000, property of $700,000, other assets of
$33,000, debt of $432,000, accounts payable of $339,000 and other
liabilities of $16,000 as a result of the purchase of Dealers
Choice Distribution, Inc., DC Sales, Inc., Road and Truck and
Duraliner of Nashville. The total cash paid for the purchases
was $425,000. In addition to the cash paid, the Company issued
a note payable of $108,733, and provided the Seller with future
credits for the purchase of $513,222 of the Company's inventory.
Goodwill of approximately $20,000 has been recorded as a result
of these acquisitions and is being amortized over seven years.
The acquisitions have been accounted for under the purchase
method, and accordingly the results of operations are included
in the consolidated operating results since the date of acquisition.
-22-
<PAGE>
In April 1998, the Company also acquired the Rugged Liner Companies.
The acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method,
and accordingly the results of operations are included in the
consolidated operating results since the date of acquisition. A
preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the net assets
acquired resulted in the Company acquiring inventory of $899,000,
accounts receivable of $1,052,000 property of $3,542,000, other
assets of $360,000, debt of $74,000, accounts payable of $575,000
and other liabilities of $150,000. The total cash, stock and other
consideration paid for the assets, exclusive of the liabilities
assumed, was $7,908,000. Goodwill of approximately $2,854,000 has
been recorded as a result of this acquisition and is being amortized
over seven years. The portions of the allocation that relate to
data that was not available will subsequently be adjusted to
reflect the finally determined amounts, with a corresponding
adjustment of goodwill.
Note 13 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company has issued tender offers and purchase commitments for
three additional acquisitions, and expects to close on these
within the next 30 days. The aggregate purchase price for all
three proposed acquisitions is not expected to exceed $500,000.

not acquire any financial interest in, accept gifts or favors from or

-3-
<PAGE>
property of the Company, its successors and assigns. The Employee shall
disclose promptly in writing to the Company all such ideas, concepts,
inventions, improvements and developments, and will cooperate in

of the Employee's covenants in this Section 7 would cause the Company
irreparable harm and that injunctive relief would be appropriate.
8. COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE. In consideration of the Employment,
Employee agrees that, during the Term of this Agreement and, if the
Employment is terminated pursuant to Section 4(c), 4(d) or 4(e), for a
period of two (2) years after such termination, Employee will not, in the
Restricted Area (defined below), engage in the Business (as defined in the
Merger Agreement) or any other business in which the Company is engaged or
planning to engage on the date the Employment terminates, nor will the
Employee directly or indirectly compete with the Company, or perform
services for, advise, be financially interested in, or own any interest in
or loan money to, any other business engaged (or seeking the Employee's
services with a view to becoming engaged) in the Business or any other
business in which the Company is engaged or planning to engage on or prior
to the date the Employment terminates. For purposes of this Section 8, the
term "Restricted Area" means the geographic United States. The Employee
agrees that any violation of this Section 8 is likely to cause such damage
to the Company as may be irreparable or impossible of ascertainment. The
Employee agrees that the Company shall, as a matter of course, be entitled
to an injunction issued out of any court of competent jurisdiction
pertaining to any violations of this Section 8 and such injunction or
injunctions shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedies that
the Company may have. The Employee acknowledges that the geographical
areas covered by this Section 8 and the periods of duration of such
restrictions are reasonable and necessary for the protection of the
Company. In the event that any of the provisions of this Section 8 shall
be held to be invalid or unenforceable, the same shall not affect the
validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Section 8, and
in the event that such claim of invalidity or unenforceability of any of
the provisions shall be predicated upon the length of the term of this
Section 8 or the area covered thereby, such provision shall not be deemed
invalid or unenforceable but shall be deemed modified to the maximum area
and maximum term of variation as any court of competent jurisdiction shall
deem reasonable and necessary and as valid and enforceable
9. BINDING AGREEMENT; SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall
be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit (a) the Company and its
-4-
<PAGE>
successors and assigns (including, without limitation, any successor by
merger) and (b) the Employee and, with respect to the payments to be made
by the Company hereunder, his heirs, executors, administrators and legal
representatives, but shall not be assignable or delegable by the Employee.
10. CAPACITY. The Employee hereby represents and warrants that, in
entering into this Agreement, he is not in violation of any employment
contract or employment agreement, whether written or oral, with any other
person, firm, partnership, corporation or other entity. In the event that
such a violation or interference does occur, or is alleged to occur,
notwithstanding the representation and warranty made hereunder, the
Employee shall indemnify the Company from and against any and all manner of
expenses and liabilities incurred by the Company or any affiliated company
in connection with such violation or interference or alleged violation or
interference.
11. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. No agreements or representations, oral or
otherwise, express or implied, with respect to the Employee's Employment
with the Company or any of the subjects covered by this Agreement have been
made by either party that are not set forth expressly in this Agreement and
this Agreement supersedes and renders void and of no force and effect any
pre-existing employment agreements.
12. AMENDMENT AND WAIVER. No provisions of this Agreement may be
amended, modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or
discharge is agreed to in a writing specifically authorized by a written
Board resolution, and signed by the Employee and by such officer as may be
specifically designated by the Board in such resolution. No waiver by
either party at any time of any breach or non-performance of this Agreement
by the other party shall be deemed a waiver of any prior or subsequent
breach or non-performance.
13. SEVERABILITY. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
provision of this Agreement will not affect the validity or enforceability
of any other provision of this Agreement, which will remain in full force
and effect. If a court of competent jurisdiction ever determines that any
provision of this Agreement is unenforceable as written, it is the intent
of the parties that such provision shall be deemed narrowed or revised (as
to scope, duration or any other matter) only to the extent necessary to
