The consolidated balance sheet of Graco Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of June 30, 2006, and the related statements of earnings for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2006 and July 1, 2005, and cash flows for the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2006 and July 1, 2005 have been prepared by the Company and have not been 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 30, 2006, 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 2005 Annual Report on 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.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Stock options to purchase 619,000 and 383,000 shares are not included in the 2006 and 2005 calculations of diluted earnings per share, respectively, because they would have been anti-dilutive.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS No. 123(R)) became effective for the Company at the beginning of 2006. This standard requires compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions to be recognized in the financial statements. The Company adopted the standard using the modified prospective transition method, whereby compensation cost related to unvested awards as of the effective date are recognized as calculated for pro forma disclosures under SFAS No. 123, and cost related to new awards are recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R). The Company continues to use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value option grants. The Company recognized share-based compensation cost of $2.5 million in the second quarter of 2006, which reduced net income by $1.8 million, or $0.03 per weighted common share. For the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2006, share-based compensation cost was $4.6 million, which reduced net income by $3.3 million, or $0.05 per weighted common share.

Had share-based compensation cost for the Employee Stock Purchase Plan and stock options granted under various stock incentive plans been recognized prior to 2006, the Company’s net earnings and earnings per share for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 2005 would have been reduced as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

The Company has various stock incentive plans under which it grants stock options and restricted share awards to officers and other employees. The option exercise price is the market price on the date of grant. Options become exercisable at such time, generally over three or four years, and in such installments as set by the Company, and expire ten years from the date of grant.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions and results:

Expected life is estimated based on vesting terms and exercise and termination history. Interest rate is based on the U.S Treasury rate on zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the option. For 2006, expected volatility is based on historical volatility over a period commensurate with the expected life of options. Prior to 2006, volatility was based on historical volatility over a three-year period.

A summary of option activity for the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2006 is shown below (in thousands, except per share and year amounts):

The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised in the first six months of the year was $7.8 million in 2006 and $4.1 million in 2005. As of June 30, 2006, there was $11.2 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested options, expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.5 years.

Under the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan, the purchase price of the shares is the lesser of 85 percent of the fair market value on the first day or the last day of the plan year. The Company issued 204,478 shares under this Plan in 2006 and 245,303 shares in 2005. The fair value of the employees’ purchase rights under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan was estimated on the date of grant. The benefit of the 15 percent discount from the lesser of the fair market value per common share on the first day and the last day of the plan year was added to the fair value of the employees’ purchase rights determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions and results:

Individual nonemployee directors of the Company may elect to receive all or part of their annual retainer, and/or payment for attendance at Board or Committee meetings, in the form of shares of the Company’s common stock instead of cash. The Company issued 5,690 shares under this arrangement in the first six months of 2006 and 5,483 shares under this arrangement in the comparable period of 2005. The expense related to this arrangement is not significant.

Shares authorized for issuance under the various stock option and purchase plans are shown below (in thousands):

Amounts available for future issuance exclude outstanding options. Options outstanding as of June 30, 2006, include options granted under two plans that were replaced by the Stock Incentive Plan in 2001. No shares are available for future grants under those two plans. Shares authorized under the Stock Incentive Plan (2006) include an increase of 4 million shares approved by shareholders at the annual meeting of shareholders in April 2006. At the same meeting, shareholders approved the 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, which authorizes 2 million shares of common stock.

In April 2006, the Company announced that it would close its plant and office facilities in Lakewood, New Jersey. The Company intends to move the Lakewood operation to North Canton, Ohio, where it currently has a manufacturing facility. As part of this consolidation, the Company will build a 60,000 square foot expansion of the North Canton facility. The Company is also moving its spray foam production from Vilanova, Spain to Minneapolis, Minnesota. In the second quarter of 2006, the Company incurred approximately $1.5 million of the estimated $4 to $6 million of costs and expenses for actions related to these plans.

In July 2006, the Company purchased the stock of Lubriquip, Inc. for approximately $32 million cash. The purchase price will be allocated based on a valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

Lubriquip, with sales of approximately $30 million in 2005, is a manufacturer of centralized and automated oil and grease lubrication systems, force-feed lubricators, metering devices and related electronic controls and accessories. The products, brands, distribution channels and engineering capabilities of Lubriquip will expand and complement the Company’s Lubrication Equipment business.

Lubriquip has manufacturing facilities in Warrensville Heights, Ohio and Madison, Wisconsin. The Company plans to close both facilities in 2007 and combine those operations with the Company’s existing lubrication businesses in a new facility in Minnesota.

In June, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” FIN 48 is effective for the Company beginning in 2007 and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company has not yet determined the impact, if any, the adoption of FIN 48 will have on its financial condition or results of operations.
