NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. The consolidated balance sheet of Graco Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company)
as of June 28, 2002, and the related statements of earnings for the
thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2002 and June 29, 2001, and
cash flows for the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2002 and June 29, 2001
have been prepared by the Company without being audited.
In the opinion of management, these consolidated statements reflect all
adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to
present fairly the financial position of Graco Inc. and Subsidiaries as of
June 28, 2002, and the results of operations and cash flows for all periods
presented.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted. Therefore, these statements
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Company's 2001 Form 10-K.
The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of results that will be realized for the full fiscal year.

4. Total comprehensive income in 2002 was $21.5 million in the second quarter
and $37.1 million year-to-date. In 2001, comprehensive income was $17.6
million for the second quarter and $30.0 million for the six-month period.
There have been no significant changes to the components of comprehensive
income from those noted on the 2001 Form 10-K except as described in note 6
below, with respect to translation gains and losses.
5. Effective at the beginning of fiscal year 2002, the Company adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, "Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets." Upon adoption of SFAS No. 142, amortization of
goodwill ceased, and results of initial goodwill impairment testing
indicated no impairment. Had SFAS No. 142 been effective at the beginning
of 2001, the non-amortization provisions would have increased net earnings
for the second quarter and six months ended June 29, 2001 by $140,000.

Components of intangible assets were (in thousands):
June 28, 2002 Dec. 28, 2001
------------- -------------
Goodwill $ 7,939 $ 7,939
Other identifiable intangibles, net of
accumulated amortization of $7,700 and
$6,400 5,070 6,335
------------- -------------
$13,009 $14,274
============= =============
Amortization of intangibles was $624,000 in the second quarter of 2002 and
$1,266,000 year-to-date. Estimated annual amortization is as follows:
$2,400,000 in 2002, $1,600,000 in 2003, $800,000 in 2004, $400,000 in 2005
and $300,000 in 2006.
6. During the third quarter of 2001, the Company announced plans to relocate
the operations of its German subsidiary, Graco Verfahrenstechnik (GV) to
other Company facilities in Belgium and the U.S. This included termination
of approximately 50 employees, termination of leases and consolidation of
product lines.
General and administrative expense in the third quarter of 2001 included a
$1.4 million charge to establish a restructuring accrual for incremental
costs associated with relocating GV operations. Through the end of the
second quarter of 2002, there were no significant payments charged against
the accrual, but the Company expects that all amounts accrued will be paid
by the end of 2002.
The economic facts and circumstances considered in determining the
functional currency of GV changed as a result of relocating GV operations.
Consequently, the Company determined that the functional currency of GV
changed from the euro to the U.S. dollar. Effective at the beginning of
2002, adjustments resulting from the translation of GV financial statements
into U.S. dollars are no longer charged or credited to shareholders'
equity, but are now included in other expense (income).
7. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, "Accounting for
the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" was effective for the
Company at the beginning of fiscal year 2002. This standard provides for a
single accounting model to be used for long-lived assets to be disposed of,
and broadens the presentation of discontinued operations to include more
disposal transactions. The adoption of SFAS No. 144 had no effect on the
Company's 2002 financial position or operating results.
8. On May 7, 2002, the Board of Directors declared a three-for-two split of
the Company's common stock, distributed on June 6, 2002 to shareholders of
record on May 21, 2002. Share and per share amounts for all periods
presented reflect the stock split.
Also on May 7, 2002, the Company issued 36,750 shares of restricted common
stock to key employees under the Stock Incentive Plan. Compensation cost
totaling $1,069,000 related to the restricted shares will be charged to
operations over the three-year vesting period.
Item 2. GRACO INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Increased sales, improved gross profit rate and lower expenses resulted in
higher net earnings for the second quarter. Year-to-date, sales are flat
compared to last year, but improved gross profit rate and lower expenses
resulted in increased net earnings.
The following table sets forth items from the Company's Consolidated Statements
of Earnings as percentages of net sales:
Thirteen Weeks Ended Twenty-six Weeks Ended
----------------------------- ----------------------------
June 28, 2002 June 29, 2001 June 28, 2002 June 29, 2001

------------- ------------- ------------- -------------
Net Earnings 16.2% 13.9% 15.4% 13.0%
============= ============= ============= =============
Net Sales
Sales in the Industrial / Automotive segment have yet to recover from weak
economic conditions in the U.S. and Japan. Sales in the Contractor segment were
higher due to increased sales in the home center channel. Sales in the
Lubrication segment improved in the second quarter, but were still lower than
last year's year-to-date sales, which included large sales to key customers.
Sales by geographic area were as follows:
Thirteen Weeks Ended Twenty-six Weeks Ended
----------------------------- ----------------------------
June 28, 2002 June 29, 2001 June 28, 2002 June 29,2001
------------- ------------- ------------- ------------
Americas $ 97,220 $ 97,095 $175,798 $176,088
Europe 22,942 20,857 42,744 41,579
Asia Pacific 12,634 12,921 22,111 23,020
------------- ------------- ------------- ------------
Consolidated $132,796 $130,873 $240,653 $240,687
============= ============= ============= ============
For the second quarter, the strengthening of the euro versus the dollar had a
small favorable effect on the Company's profits. Sales in Europe increased 10
percent but would have been only 6 percent higher than last year if translated
at consistent exchange rates. Changes in exchange rates had no significant
impact on sales reported for the quarter in Asia Pacific. Year-to-date, changes
in exchange rates had no significant impact on the translation of
euro-denominated sales in Europe, but sales in Asia Pacific decreased 4 percent
and would have decreased only 1 percent if translated at consistent exchange
rates.
Gross Profit
High factory productivity, product cost improvements, product mix and price
increases all contributed to higher gross profit rates compared to the same
periods last year.
Operating Expenses
Product development expenses were down as a result of actions taken last year.
Selling, marketing and distribution expenses increased compared to last year due
in part to increased sales incentives and marketing programs. Efforts to control
costs have been successful in most general and administrative areas, with the
largest decrease coming from information systems.
Year-to-date operations include a $.5 million pension credit related to the
Company's U.S. defined benefit pension plan, compared to a $1.7 million credit
in the same period last year. These credits resulted from recognition of
investment gains attributable to pension plan assets, and are included in cost
of products sold and operating expenses based on salaries and wages.
Interest Expense and Other Expense
Interest expense decreased due to reduced debt levels and interest income
(included in Other Expense) increased due to higher interest-bearing cash
balances.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash generated from operations in the first six months of 2002 increased cash
and cash equivalents by $37 million. Accounts receivable increased in 2002 due
to extended terms on selected accounts and higher sales in the second quarter.
Issuance of common stock (from stock options exercised and employee stock
purchase plan) was a significant source of cash. In 2001, significant uses of
cash included the construction of expanded manufacturing, warehouse and office
facilities in Minneapolis, Minnesota and Sioux Falls, South Dakota, the
acquisition of ASM, and reduction of debt.
The Company had unused lines of credit available at June 28, 2002 totaling $37
million. The available credit facilities, cash balances of $64 million at June
28, 2002, and internally generated funds provide the Company with the financial
flexibility to meet liquidity needs.
Outlook
Contractor Equipment segment sales continue to benefit from the introduction of
new products and a strong housing market. Even though sales in the Industrial /
Automotive segment have yet to recover from economic weakness, management
believes that the segment is well positioned to benefit from a recovery in North
American capital equipment spending. While internal sales growth may be
challenged by continued difficult economic conditions, management remains
committed to high profitability while funding the Company's long-term growth
strategies of introducing new products, entering new markets, expanding
distribution coverage and pursuing strategic acquisitions. Management is
cautiously optimistic that 2002 will be a year of higher net earnings for the
Company.
SAFE HARBOR CAUTIONARY STATEMENT
A forward-looking statement is any statement made in this report and other
reports that the Company files periodically with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, as well as in press or earnings releases, analyst briefings and
conference calls, which reflects the Company's current thinking on market trends
and the Company's future financial performance at the time they are made. All
forecasts and projections are forward-looking statements.
The Company desires to take advantage of the "safe harbor" provisions of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 by making cautionary statements
concerning any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company.
The Company cannot give any assurance that the results forecasted in any
forward-looking statement will actually be achieved. Future results could differ
materially from those expressed, due to the impact of changes in various
factors. These risk factors include, but are not limited to: economic conditions
in the United States and other major world economies, currency fluctuations,
political instability, changes in laws and regulations, and changes in product
demand. Please refer to Exhibit 99 to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
for fiscal year 2001 for a more comprehensive discussion of these and other risk
factors.
