NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by
the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares
outstanding during each period.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND  RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

First Quarter 1995 Compared To First Quarter 1994

         Net sales increased $3.1 million or 6.2% to $52,637,000 for the first
quarter of 1995 compared to $49,551,000 for the same period of 1994.  Sales
increases were realized in all product categories.  On a same location basis,
net sales increased in the commercial and retail segments by 8.3% and 3.1%,
respectively.

         Miscellaneous income increased $420,000 for the first quarter of 1995
primarily due to greater finance charge income from increased consumer credit
sales.

         The gross margin rate decreased to 30.7% for the first quarter of 1995
from 31.9% for the same period of 1994 due to changes in sales mix and higher
merchandise acquisition cost.

         Selling, administrative and general expenses increased $785,000 due to
expenses associated with increased sales.  As a percentage of sales, such
expenses decreased to 36.1% for the first quarter of 1995 compared to 36.7% for
the 1994 first quarter.

         Interest expense increased $225,000 for the first quarter of 1995
compared to the same period of 1994 due to higher short-term borrowing rates.
The Company's average short-term borrowing rate was 7.6% for the first quarter
of 1995 compared to 4.8% for the 1994 first quarter.

         Historically, the first quarter does not represent a strong earnings
period for the Company.  A net loss of $74,000 ($.03 per share) was recorded
for the first quarter of 1995 compared to net income of $47,000 ($.02 per
share) for the same period of 1994.  The earnings reduction can be attributed
to lower gross margins and increased interest expense.


Financial Position

         Lower accounts receivable balances from year-end 1994 levels reflect
the normal, seasonal trend for the Company.  Inventory and related accounts
payable increases can be attributed to seasonal merchandise inventory
requirements to support the second quarter business levels.

         Total debt was increased $1.2 million from the year-end 1994 amount in
order to fund working capital requirements.  Short-term debt is originated
through the majority shareholder, The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, which
provides an open line of credit.
