NOTE A — Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Brady
Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Brady”) without audit, pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of the Company, the foregoing
statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary to
present fairly the financial position of the Company as of April 30, 2011 and July 3l, 2010, its
results of operations for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2011 and 2010, and its cash
flows for the nine months ended April 30, 2011 and 2010. The condensed consolidated balance sheet
as of July 31, 2010 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of that
date. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts therein. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in
making estimates, actual results in future periods may differ from the estimates.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements do
not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statement
presentation. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the
Company’s latest annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2010.
The Company has reclassified certain prior year financial statement amounts to conform to
their current year presentation. The operating activities including “Other,” “Other liabilities,”
and “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities”, which were previously disclosed as single line
items, have been combined and reported as “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities” on the
Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended April 30, 2011 and 2010.
These reclassifications had no effect on total assets, net income, or earnings per share.
