4.   Since March, 1992, the Company has had a $12,000,000 financing and security
     agreement with NationsCredit Corporation  (NationsCredit) formerly Chrysler
     First  Commercial  Corporation.  Terms of the agreement limit borrowings to
     the lesser of $12,000,000 or 75% of eligible inventory (fully  manufactured
     recreation vehicles ready for delivery to a dealer). Borrowings are secured
     by the  Company's  receivables  and  inventory.  The  agreement  requires a
     graduated  interest rate based upon the bank's reference rate as defined in
     the  agreement.  The line of credit is available for a term of one year and
     continues during  successive  one-year periods unless either party provides
     at least  90-days  notice  prior to the end of the  one-year  period to the
     other party that they wish to terminate  the line of credit.  The agreement
     prohibits any advances,  loans, or additional  guarantees of any obligation
     to any subsidiary or affiliate in excess of $5,000,000 or $7,500,000 in the
     aggregate  for  all  subsidiaries  and  affiliates  from  the  date  of the
     agreement. The agreement also includes certain restrictive covenants in the
     agreement including  maintenance of minimum net worth,  working capital and
     debt  to  equity  ratio.  As of  November  26,  1994,  the  Company  was in
     compliance with these covenants. There were no outstanding borrowings under
     the line of credit at November 26, 1994 or August 27, 1994.

     The Company and  Cycle-Sat  entered into a  $3,000,000  line of credit with
     Firstar Bank Cedar Rapids  (Firstar) dated February 24, 1994.  Terms of the
     agreement  limit the amount advanced to the lesser of $3,000,000 or the sum
     of the base of 75 percent of Cycle-Sat's  eligible accounts  receivable and
     50  percent  of its  inventory.  The  agreement  provides  for a  declining
     interest  rate  based on  future  increases  in the  tangible  net worth of
     Cycle-Sat and contains a restrictive covenant related to the maintenance of
     a minimum  tangible net worth as defined in the  agreement.  As of November
     26, 1994, Cycle-Sat was in compliance with this covenant.  Borrowings under
     the line of credit  are  secured by  Cycle-Sat's  accounts  receivable  and
     inventories  and have been  guaranteed  by the Company.  The line of credit
     expires January 31, 1995. The outstanding  balance under the line of credit
     at November 26, 1994 was  $2,300,000  with an interest rate of 9.75 percent
     per annum and at August 27, 1994  $2,300,000  with an interest  rate of 9.0
     percent per annum.  As of November  26,  1994,  Cycle-Sat  had  $700,000 of
     unused borrowings available.

5.   It is customary  practice for companies in the recreation  vehicle industry
     to enter into repurchase  agreements with lending  institutions  which have
     provided   wholesale  floor  plan  financing  to  dealers.   The  Company's
     agreements  provide for the  repurchase  of its products from the financing
     institution  in the event of  repossession  upon a  dealer's  default.  The
     Company  was  contingently   liable  for  approximately   $125,910,000  and
     $118,954,000  under repurchase  agreements with lending  institutions as of
     November 26, 1994,  and August 27,  1994,  respectively.  Included in these
     contingent  liabilities  are  approximately  $44,606,000  and  $36,231,000,
     respectively,  of certain dealer receivables subject to recourse agreements
     with ITT  Commercial  Finance  Corporation,  NationsCredit  and John  Deere
     Credit, Inc.

     Benefits included  postretirement benefits related to health care and other
     benefits of $23,357,000 and deferred compensation of $20,623,000.

     Net  postretirement  benefit cost for the 13 weeks ended  November 26, 1994
     consisted of the following components:

                                                                        Thirteen

                                                                       $ 460,000

8.   At August 27, 1994,  the Company had net operating loss  carryforwards  for
     financial  reporting  purposes of approximately  $44,000,000 which will, if
     unused,  expire at various  times in fiscal  years 2006 through  2008.  The
     Company's use of the net operating loss carryforwards  offset its income
     taxes otherwise required during the first quarter of fiscal 1995.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Thirteen Weeks Ended November 26, 1994 Compared to Thirteen Weeks Ended November
27, 1993.

Net revenues of  manufactured  products for the 13 weeks ended November 26, 1994
increased $24,869,000 or 25.0 percent from the 13 week period ended November 27,
1993. Motor home shipments  increased by 352 units or 17.1 percent during the 13
weeks ended November 26, 1994 when compared to the first quarter of fiscal 1994.
The  growth  in  revenues  is  attributed  to the  excellent  acceptance  of the
Company's 1995 model year products  especially the higher-priced Class A models.
The Company is optimistic about the outlook for the remainder of the 1995 fiscal
year due to the  strong  current  forward  order  position;  however,  continued
increases  in  interest  rates  by  the  Federal  Reserve  Board,  could  have a
detrimental affect on the Company's revenue growth.

Service  revenues for the 13 weeks ended November 26, 1994 increased  $1,334,000
or 26.9  percent  from the 13 weeks ended  November  27,  1993.  The increase is
attributed  to an increase in revenues  from  established  customers  as well as
revenues generated with new customers by Cycle-Sat, Inc.

Cost of manufactured  products,  as a percent of manufactured  product revenues,
was 86.0  percent for the 13 weeks  ended  November  26,  1994  compared to 85.9
percent for the 13 weeks ended November 27, 1993.

Cost of  services  increased  by  $586,000  but as a percent of service  revenue
decreased to 55.1 percent  from 58.1 percent when  comparing  the 13 weeks ended
November  26, 1994 to the 13 weeks ended  November 27,  1993.  This  decrease in
percentage  when  comparing the two periods can be  attributed  primarily to the
increase in Cycle-Sat revenues.

Selling and delivery expenses  increased by $52,000 but decreased to 4.6 percent
of net revenues  from 5.8 percent of net revenues  when  comparing  the 13 weeks
ended November 26, 1994 to the comparable period of fiscal 1994. The decrease in
percentage can be attributed to the significant increase in revenues.

General and administrative  expenses decreased by $137,000 to 4.8 percent of net
revenues  from 6.1 percent of net  revenues  when  comparing  the 13 weeks ended
November  26, 1994 to the 13 weeks ended  November  27,  1993.  The  decrease in
dollars  when  comparing  the  two  periods  can be  attributed  primarily  to a
reduction in the Company's  cost for retiree  benefit  programs and to costs for
legal expenses.  The decrease in percentage can be attributed to the significant
increase in revenues.

The Company had other income of $19,000  during the 13 weeks ended  November 26,
1994 compared to other expense of $76,000 during the 13 weeks ended November 27,
1993.  The primary  reason for the change when  comparing the two periods was an
increase in lease income from the Company's public warehousing activities.

The Company had net  financial  expense of $194,000  during the first quarter of
fiscal 1995  compared to income of $165,000  during the first  quarter of fiscal
1994. The Company recorded  $423,000 of realized and unrealized  losses compared
to  $69,000 of gains in its  marketable  securities  portfolio  during the first
quarters of fiscal 1995 and 1994, respectively. The Company recorded $106,000 of
foreign  exchange  gains,   primarily  due  to  the  translations  of  Winnebago
Industries,  Europe GmbH  operations,  compared  to $5,000 of losses  during the
first quarters of fiscal 1995 and 1994, respectively.

For the 13 weeks ended  November  26,  1994,  the Company  realized  income from
operations  of $7,609,000  or $.30 per share which  included  income of $624,000
($.02 per share) from Cycle-Sat operations.  For the 13 weeks ended November 27,
1993, the Company realized income before the cumulative  effect of an accounting
change of $3,742,000 or $.15 per share which  included  income of $241,000 ($.01
per share) from Cycle-Sat operations.

In fiscal 1994, the Company was required to adopt the remaining  portion of FASB
Statement No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than
Pensions"  related to health care and other benefits.  This change in accounting
principle  resulted in a cumulative  non-cash  charge at the beginning of fiscal
1994 of $20,420,000 or $.81 per share. With the adoption of FASB No. 106, the 13
weeks November 27, 1993 net loss was $16,678,000 or $.66 per share.

LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

Presently,   the  Company  meets  its  working  capital  and  capital  equipment
requirements  and  cash   requirements  of  subsidiaries  with  funds  generated
internally and funds from agreements with financial institutions.

At November 26, 1994, working capital was $66,482,000, an increase of $7,959,000
from the amount at August 27, 1994. The Company's  principal sources and uses of
cash during the 13 weeks ended  November 26, 1994 are set forth in the unaudited
consolidated condensed statement of cash flows for that period.

Principal  expected  demands at November 26, 1994 on the Company's liquid assets
for the remainder of fiscal 1995 include  approximately  $6,500,000  for capital
expenditures  consisting  primarily of tooling,  equipment  replacement  and new
equipment.  Also during fiscal 1995, as previously  announced by the Company in
December,  1994,  Cycle-Sat  expects to complete  the  acquisition  of T.F.I.  a
private company headquartered in California.  The Company expects to finance the
acquisition  through a new  agreement  with Firstar  Bank and terms  provided by
T.F.I.  which  aggregate  $10,000,000.  The agreement  will be guaranteed by the
Company.

Based upon  available  cash,  marketable  securities  and  financing  resources,
described  in  Note  4 as  supplemented  by  the  discussion  in  the  preceding
paragraph, management believes that the Company has adequate sources of funds to
meet its  remaining  fiscal 1995 cash  requirements.  However,  any  significant
adverse  events in the market  for motor  homes or in the  economy  could have a
significant effect on the Company's future cash requirements.
