NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
BRAD RAGAN, INC.

NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements.  In management's opinion, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included.  For further information, refer to the
financial statements and footnotes included in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994.

NOTE B - INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined
using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method for substantially all inventories.
An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method is made only at the end
of each year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Accordingly,
interim LIFO calculations must necessarily be based on management's estimates
of expected year-end inventory levels and costs.  Since these are subject to
many forces beyond management's control, interim results are subject to the
final year-end LIFO inventory valuation.

NOTE C - INCOME PER SHARE

Earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted
average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding
during each period.

NOTE D - ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES

In 1992, the Company adopted Statement of Accounting Standards No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes," pursuant to which a deferred tax asset was
recorded to reflect temporary difference between financial and tax return
recognition of certain income and expense items.  For the second quarter and
the first half of 1994, income tax expense was partially offset by the
reduction in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance.  This reduction in the
valuation allowance was based on management's determination of the realization
of the deferred tax asset in accordance with SFAS 109.

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

 Second Quarter 1995 Compared To Second Quarter 1994

     Net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 1995, increased $810,000 to $62.6
million compared to $61.8 million for the same period of 1994.  Commercial
sales were up 1.9% primarily due to increased sales of rubber products.  Retail
sales were up .5% primarily due to increased service sales.  On a same location
basis, commercial and retail sales were up 1.2% and .6%, respectively.

     Miscellaneous income decreased slightly to $4.3 million for the second
quarter of 1995 compared to $4.5 million for the second quarter of 1994
primarily due to lower finance charge income resulting from decreased consumer
credit sales.

     The second quarter 1995 gross margin rate increased slightly to 30.6%
compared to 30.4% for the 1994 second quarter.

     Selling, administrative and general expenses increased slightly to $20.3
million for the second quarter of 1995 compared to $20.2 million for the same
period of 1994.  As a percentage of sales, these expenses decreased to 32.3%
for the 1995 second quarter compared to 32.6 for the 1994 second quarter.

     Higher short-term borrowing rates resulted in increased interest expense
of $627,000 for the second quarter of 1995 compared to $421,000 for second
quarter of 1994.  The average short-term borrowing rates for the second
quarters of 1995 and 1994 were 7.6% and 5.5%, respectively.

     Net income of $1,472,000 ($.67 per share) was recorded for the second
quarter of 1995 compared to $2,355,000 ($1.00 per share) for the same period of
1994.  The earnings decrease is attributed to increased income tax expense as
described in Note D of Notes to Financial Statements and increased interest
expense.

FIRST HALF 1995 COMPARED TO FIRST HALF 1994

     Net sales increased $3.9 million to $115,259,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 1995, compared to $111,363,000 for the same period of 1994.
Commercial sales were up 4.9% primarily due to increased sales of rubber
products.  Retail sales increased 1.5% primarily due to higher service sales.
On a same location basis, commercial and retail sales were up 4.4% and 1.7%,
respectively.

     Miscellaneous income increased slightly to $7.5 million for the first half
of 1995 compared to $7.3 million for the same period of 1994.

     The gross margin rate for the first half of 1995 decreased to 30.6% from
31.1% for the same period of 1994 due to higher product acquisition cost.

     Selling, administrative and general expenses increased to $39.2 million
for the first half of 1995 from $38.4 million for the same period of 1994 due
to expenses directly associated with increased sales.  As a percentage of
sales, these expenses decreased to 34.0% from 34.4%.

     Higher short-term borrowing rates resulted in increased interest expense
for the first half of 1995 compared to the 1994 first half.  The Company's
average short-term borrowing rate for the first half of 1995 was 7.6% compared
to 5.2% for the same period of 1994.





                                       6
<PAGE>   7

     Net income of $1,398,000 ($.64 per share) was recorded for the six months
ended June 30, 1995, compared to $2,402,000 ($1.04 per share) for the same
period of 1994.  The income reduction can be attributed to increased income tax
expense as described in Note D of Notes to Financial Statements and increased
interest expense.

FINANCIAL POSITION   

     Increased accounts receivable balances from year-end 1994 reflect the
strong second quarter selling season.  Inventory and related accounts payable
balances increased from the year-end 1994 levels to support sales growth for
the first half of 1995.

     Total debt was increased $4.0 million from the year-end 1994 level in
order to fund working capital requirements primarily associated with increased
inventories.  Short-term debt is originated through the majority shareholder,
The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, which provides an open line of credit.
