              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
only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation
have been included. Operating results for the six months ended January 27, 2001
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending July 28, 2001. 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 July 29, 2000.

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):

NOTE C - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS OF BUSINESS SEGMENT

In August 2000, the Company's management decided to phase out and discontinue
the operations of the printing and packaging business. This business is expected
to complete the fulfillment of current orders and finish normal operations by
March 31, 2001. The collection of accounts receivable and the sale of remaining
inventory and fixed assets is expected to be completed by July 28, 2001. The
assets and liabilities of the printing business as of January 27, 2001 and July
29, 2000 are as follows:

For the quarter ending January 27, 2001, the printing business reported a net
loss of $26,000, net of $17,000 of tax benefit. A reserve for estimated loss on
discontinuance of this business amounted to $290,000, net of $185,000 of tax
benefit. Net earnings per share as a result of the discontinued operations were
reduced by $.01 per share for the second quarter of fiscal 2001 and by $.01 per
share for the same period of fiscal 2000. The results of the printing and
packaging business operations have been reported separately as discontinued
operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Prior year financial statements for fiscal 2000 have been restated to present
the operations for the printing and packaging business as a discontinued
operation.


NOTE D - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On February 27, 2001, the Company declared a cash dividend of $.05 cents per
share on its Class A Common Stock payable on March 30, 2001, to shareholders of
record on March 16, 2001.

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 July 29,
2000, including the financial information and management's discussion and
analysis contained or incorporated by reference therein.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

The Company's financial condition remained strong for the period ending January
27, 2001. Working capital amounted to approximately $22.2 million and cash and
cash equivalents totaled almost $4.8 million.

Cash used in operating activities amounted to approximately $1.3 million. Net
income from operations, adjusted for depreciation and amortization, contributed
approximately $582,000. Accounts and notes receivable used approximately $1.8
million of cash primarily as a result of increased sales of military and western
boots and the timing of collection of larger quarter-end billings associated
with the office products business. The decline in inventories provided a
positive cash flow of approximately $1.1 million primarily attributable to the
discontinuance of the printing business, greater sales of military combat boots
and decreased purchases of duplicating equipment for the office products
business. Accounts payable used approximately $731,000 of cash as a result of
the office products business using approximately $1.0 million to pay for
inventory that was purchased during the last quarter of fiscal 2000. This use of
cash was partially offset by the timing of payment for inventory purchases for
the military combat boot business and the western boot business of approximately
$202,000 and $233,000, respectively. Income taxes used approximately $792,000 of
cash as prior year taxes and first quarter estimates were paid.

Capital expenditures for the current period amounted to approximately $525,000
and consisted primarily of rental equipment used in county-wide government and
school systems and office computers and equipment. Advances to related parties
used $75,000 of cash to pay for land development costs. Proceeds from the sale
of various printing equipment, securities, and investment property provided
approximately $135,000 of cash. The purchase of additional minority interest
related to the bar code business used approximately $360,000 of cash.

The Company used $334,000 of cash to pay quarterly dividends and $123,000 to
reduce the principal amount of long-term debt.

The Company currently has two lines of credit with a bank totaling $2.75
million, all of which was available at January 27, 2001. It is management's
opinion that the future cash flows from operations, currently available cash and
cash equivalents, and unused lines of credit will be sufficient to meet the
Company's future working capital, capital expenditures, and debt repayment
requirements.

SECOND QUARTER FISCAL 2001, COMPARED TO SECOND QUARTER FISCAL 2000

Consolidated net revenues from continuing operations for the second quarter of
fiscal 2001 amounted to $13.8 million, an increase of 4.5% over the $13.2
million reported for the second quarter of fiscal 2000. This increase in net
revenues was primarily attributable to the military boot and western boot
businesses that reported net revenues of $4.4 million and $2.1 million,
respectively, for the second quarter of fiscal 2001 as compared to $2.7 million
and $1.6 million, respectively, for the same period of fiscal 2000. This
improvement in net revenues resulted from higher military boot requirements by
the U. S. Government, greater demand for military boots by foreign governments,
and increased market penetration in the western boot market. The office products
and bar code businesses experienced a combined decrease in net revenues for the
comparative second quarters of fiscal 2001 and 2000 of 21.9% and 11.9%,
respectively, as competitive pressures in the related markets intensified.

Consolidated gross profit from continuing operations for the second quarter of
fiscal 2001 amounted to $3.3 million, down 5.7% from the $3.5 million reported
for the second quarter of fiscal 2000. Gross profit as a percentage of net
revenues fell from 26.4% for the second quarter of fiscal 2000 to 23.8% for the
second quarter of fiscal 2001. Gross profit for the footwear business increased
from $660,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 2000 to $1.2 million for the
second quarter of fiscal 2001, primarily attributable to greater demand for
military and western boots and lower per unit costs associated with higher
western boot production levels. The gross profit for the bar code unit declined
21.9% for the comparative second quarters of fiscal 2001 and 2000, primarily as
a result of lower product sales and costs attributable to the software
application and services product. The office products business gross profit
decreased from $1.4 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2000 to $1.0
million for the second quarter of fiscal 2001, primarily attributable to lower
overall product sales, decreased sales to commercial markets, and higher service
costs.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses from continuing operations
for the second quarter of fiscal 2001 were up 24.0% from the $2.7 million
reported for the second quarter of fiscal 2000. This increase in SG&A expenses
was primarily attributable to higher expenditures related to sales salaries,
sales commissions, advertising and administrative salaries for the western boot
and office products businesses, and group health insurance costs. These
increased expenditures were partially offset by reduced employee benefit costs
and professional services. As a percentage of net revenues, SG&A expenditures
increased from 20.1% for the second quarter of fiscal 2000 to 23.8% for the
second quarter of fiscal 2001.

The Company's military footwear business is currently in the fourth year of the
most recent contract (the Contract) awarded by the United States Government (the
Government) in April 1997. The Contract provides for a base year and four
one-year extensions that may be exercised by the Government at its sole
discretion for the purchase of additional option quantities of military combat
boots. The current option will expire in April 2001; however, the Company has
received notification that the Government intends to invoke the final year's
option. In addition, the Government has indicated it will switch to a new type
of military combat boot and has issued a solicitation for bids. While the
Company has positioned itself to manufacture the new type of military combat
boots and continues to manufacture boots for the Contract option, there are no
assurances that the Government will order any boots under the option or that the
Company will be successful in the solicitation of the contract right to
manufacture the new type of military boot.

In August 2000, the Company's management decided to phase out the operation of
the printing and packaging business. Net revenues for the second quarter of
fiscal 2001 were $644,000 as compared to $648,000 for the same period of fiscal


                                       11

2000. Operating losses of $26,000 and $21,000 were recorded for the second
quarters of fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2000, respectively.


FIRST SIX MONTHS FISCAL 2001, COMPARED TO FIRST SIX MONTHS FISCAL 2000

Consolidated net revenues from continuing operations for the first six months of
fiscal 2001 amounted to $30.4 million, an increase of 10.8% over the
consolidated net revenues from continuing operations for the same period of
fiscal 2000. The military boot business net revenues for the first six months of
fiscal 2001 increased 81.4% over the $5.1 million reported for the same period
of fiscal 2000. This increase in net revenues was primarily the result of higher
U. S. Government requirements and greater demand by foreign governments for
combat boots. Net revenues from the western boot business reached $4.7 million
for the first six months of fiscal 2001, an increase of 14.6% over the $4.1
million reported for the same period of fiscal 2000 and was primarily the result
of the successful implementation of various sales and marketing strategies which
included broader market coverage with a highly professional sales team and the
introduction of foreign manufactured western boots to the market. The bar code
and office products businesses experienced net revenue reductions for the
comparative six-month periods of fiscal 2001 and 2000 of 13.6% and 6.7%,
respectively. These decreases in net revenues were primarily attributable to
increased competitive pressures in the respective markets.

Consolidated gross profit from continuing operations decreased from $7.5 million
reported for the first six months of fiscal 2000 to $7.1 million for the first
six months of fiscal 2001. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues
decreased from 27.6% for the first six months of fiscal 2000 to 23.4% for the
same period of fiscal 2001. Gross profit for the footwear business climbed to
$3.0 million for the first six months of fiscal 2001, an increase of 74.5% over
the $1.7 million reported for the first six months of fiscal 2000. This increase
in gross profit resulted primarily from greater demand for military and western
boots and to lower per unit costs associated with higher western boot production
levels. Gross profit for the bar code business decreased from $3.0 million
reported for the first six months of fiscal 2000 to $2.2 million for the first
six months of fiscal 2001 and primarily resulted from lower product sales and
costs associated with the software application and services product. The office
products business experienced a 28.4% decline in gross profit for the
comparative six-month periods of fiscal 2001 and 2000, primarily attributable to
reduced sales to high-margin commercial customers.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the first six months of
fiscal 2001 amounted to $6.6 million, an increase of 17.9% over the $5.6 million
reported for the first six months of fiscal 2000. As a percentage of net
revenues, SG&A expenses increased from 20.4% for the first six months of fiscal
2000 to 21.6% for the same period of fiscal 2001. The increase in SG&A
expenditures was primarily the result of higher sales salaries, sales
commissions, administrative salaries, advertising, and group health insurance
costs. These higher costs were partially offset by lower expenditures for
employee benefit costs and professional fees.

Net revenues related to the discontinued printing and packaging business for the
first six months of fiscal 2001 amounted to $1.4 million as compared to $1.3
million reported for fiscal 2000. An operating profit of $26,000 was reported
for the current fiscal period as compared to a $46,000 loss for the same period
of fiscal 2000. An estimated loss on the discontinuance of this business
amounting to $290,000, net of the tax benefit, was reserved in the first quarter
of fiscal 2001. This business is expected to complete the fulfillment of current
orders and finish normal operations by March 31, 2001. The collection of
accounts receivable and the sale of remaining inventory and fixed assets is
expected to be completed by July 28, 2001.

In June 1998, SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities", was issued and established the accounting and reporting standards
for derivative instruments and hedging activities. SFAS No. 133 will be
effective for the Registrant for the fiscal year beginning July 30, 2000, as
amended by SFAS No. 137. Currently, the Registrant is not involved in any
derivative or hedging activities.

In December 1999, SAB 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" was
issued and established accounting and reporting standards for the determination
of when a sale occurs and how the revenue should be recognized for financial
reporting. SAB 101 is effective for the Registrant no later than the fourth
fiscal quarter of the fiscal year ending July 28, 2001, as amended by SAB 101B.
Adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on the Registrant's
revenue recognition policies.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

In addition to historical information, this Interim Report includes certain
forward-looking statements as such term is defined in Section 27A of the
Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These
forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties, including
but not limited to acquisitions, additional financing requirements, development
of new products and services, the effect of competitive products and pricing,
acceptance of new footwear products in the market place, risks unique to selling
goods to the Government (including termination of the Contract, failure to
exercise the next option period under the Contract or reducing purchases), and
the effect of general economic conditions, that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those in such forward-looking statements.


ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company is exposed to the impact of interest rate changes due to its
aggregate $2.75 million lines of credit and a term loan through its wholly owned
subsidiary, American West Trading Company. As of January 27, 2001, there was no
outstanding indebtedness under the lines of credit and $4.9 million was
outstanding on the term loan. The Company does not buy or sell derivative
financial instruments for trading purposes. Borrowings under the Company's
credit facilities described above bear interest at rates based upon the "Prime
Rate" or "Prime Rate" less a margin of one-half percent offered by the
applicable lender. The Company has not entered into any swap agreements or
engaged in any other hedging activities with respect to this variable rate
indebtedness. A 10% increase in the interest rates under the Company's credit
facilities would increase annual interest expense by approximately $45,000
(assuming the Company's aggregate borrowings under the credit facilities
averaged $5.0 million during a fiscal year).
