4.     Since March 1992, the Company has had a financing and security agreement
       with NationsCredit Corporation (NationsCredit) formerly Chrysler First
       Commercial Corporation.

       Terms of the agreement limit borrowings to the lesser of $30,000,000 or
       75 percent of eligible inventory (fully manufactured recreation vehicles
       and motor home chassis and related components). Borrowings are secured by
       the Company's receivables and inventory. Borrowings pursuant to the
       agreement bear interest at the prime rate, as defined in the agreement,
       plus 50 basis points. The line of credit is available through March 31,
       1997, 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 also contains certain restrictive covenants including
       maintenance of minimum net worth, working capital and current ratio. As
       of December 2, 1995, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.
       There were no outstanding borrowings under the line of credit at December
       2, 1995 or August 26, 1995.

       The Company and Cycle-Sat maintain a line of credit with Firstar Bank
       Cedar Rapids. Terms of the agreement limit the amount advanced to the
       lesser of $4,500,000 or the sum of 80 percent of Cycle-Sat's eligible
       accounts receivable and 50 percent of its inventory. Borrowings pursuant
       to the agreement bear interest at the 90-day LIBOR rate, plus 150 basis
       points. (7.4 percent per annum at December 2, 1995 and August 26, 1995)
       and contains certain restrictive covenants as defined in the agreement.
       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 February 1, 1996. The outstanding balance under
       the line of credit was $4,300,000 at December 2, 1995 and $4,000,000 at
       August 26, 1995. As of December 2, 1995, Cycle-Sat had $150,000 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 $123,221,000 and
       $120,487,000 under repurchase agreements with lending institutions as of
       December 2, 1995, and August 26, 1995, respectively. Included in these
       contingent liabilities are approximately $38,345,000 and $37,616,000,
       respectively, of certain dealer receivables subject to recourse
       agreements with NationsCredit and John Deere Credit, Inc.

6.     Fiscal year-to-date the Company paid cash for the following (dollars in
       thousands):

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


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Fourteen Weeks Ended December 2, 1995 Compared to Thirteen Weeks Ended November
26, 1994

Net revenues of manufactured products for the 14 weeks ended December 2, 1995
were $113,385,000, a decrease of $11,073,000, or 8.9 percent, from the 13 week
period ended November 26, 1994. Motor home shipments (Classes A, B and C) were
2,287 units, a decrease of 354 units, or 13.4 percent, during the first quarter
of fiscal 1996 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 1995. The Company
experienced a reduction in revenues and number of motor home shipments which the
Company believes was the result of increased interest rates and lower consumer
confidence in the economy during the first quarter of fiscal 1996. With the
Federal Reserve Board's recent decision to lower interest rates, the Company
believes the economy will continue to grow at a moderate rate and this growth
will be beneficial to Winnebago Industries and the RV industry as a whole.

Service revenues were $8,593,000 for the 14 weeks ended December 2, 1995 an
increase of $2,292,000, or 36.4 percent from the comparable period of fiscal
1995. Cycle-Sat recorded revenues of $8,243,000, an increase of $2,205,000, or
36.5 percent, primarily due to increased revenues generated through the
acquisition by Cycle-Sat of the TFI division of MPO Videotronics during the
third quarter of fiscal 1995.

Cost of manufactured products, as a percent of manufactured product revenues,
was 86.2 percent for the 14 weeks ended December 2, 1995 compared to 86.0
percent for the 13 weeks ended November 26, 1994. This percentage increase was
primarily caused by lower motor home production volume.

Cost of services, as a percent of service revenues, increased during the first
quarter of fiscal 1996 to 58.2 percent from 55.1 percent during the first
quarter of fiscal 1995. This increase is attributed to higher labor costs at
Cycle-Sat which raised its cost of services percentage to 60.3 percent in the
first quarter of fiscal 1996 from 57.1 percent during the first quarter of
fiscal 1995.

Selling and delivery expenses increased by $731,000 to $6,809,000 comparing the
14 weeks ended December 2, 1995 to the 13 weeks ended November 26, 1994 and
increased as a percentage of net revenues to 5.6 percent from 4.6 percent. The
increases in dollars and percentage primarily reflects increases in the
Company's promotional and advertising costs and an increase in spending by
Winnebago Industries Europe GmbH (WIE).

General and administrative expenses increased by $1,268,000 to $7,672,000
comparing the 14 weeks ended December 2, 1995 to the 13 weeks ended November 26,
1994 and increased as a percentage of net revenues to 6.3 percent from 4.9
percent. The increases in dollars and percentage was caused primarily by
increased spending by Cycle-Sat and increases in the Company's provisions for
product liability expenses.

The Company had net financial income of $14,000 for the first quarter of fiscal
1996 compared to net financial expense of $194,000 for the comparable quarter of
fiscal 1995. During the 14 weeks ended December 2, 1995, the Company recorded
foreign currency transaction gains of $109,000, interest expense of $55,000 and
$40,000 of realized and unrealized losses in its trading securities portfolio.
During the 13 weeks ended November 26, 1994, the Company recorded $423,000 of
realized and unrealized losses in its trading securities portfolio, interest
income of $124,000 and foreign currency transaction gains of $106,000.

For the 14 weeks ended December 2, 1995, the Company reported net income of
$2,990,000 or $.12 per share which consisted primarily of income from
manufactured products operations of $2,412,000 ($.10 per share) and income from
Cycle-Sat operations of $196,000 ($.01 per share). This quarter's results
reflect the impact of income tax expense of $1,758,000 for the first time since
fiscal 1992 as the Company has used all benefits which had existed from prior
tax losses. For the 13 weeks ended November 26, 1994, the Company reported net
income of $7,609,000 or $.30 per share which consisted primarily of income from
manufactured products operations of $6,402,000 ($.25 per share) and income from
Cycle-Sat operations of $624,000 ($.02 per share).


LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

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 December 2, 1995, working capital was $71,368,000, an increase of $1,674,000
from the amount at August 26, 1995. The Company's principal sources and uses of
cash during the 14 weeks ended December 2, 1995 are set forth in the unaudited
consolidated condensed statement of cash flows for that period.

Principal known demands at December 2, 1995 on the Company's liquid assets for
the remainder of fiscal 1996 include approximately $5,310,000 of capital
expenditures (primarily equipment replacements) and $2,534,000 of cash dividends
declared by the Board of Directors on October 19, 1995 (payable December 4,
1995).

Management currently expects its cash on hand, funds from operations and
borrowings available under existing credit facilities to be sufficient to cover
both short term and long term operating requirements.
