4.   Since March 1992, the Company has had a financing and security agreement
     with NationsCredit Corporation (NationsCredit) a Nations Bank Company.

     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 covenants including maintenance of minimum net worth,
     working capital and current ratio. As of March 2, 1996, the Company was in
     compliance with these covenants. There were no outstanding borrowings under
     the line of credit at March 2, 1996 or August 26, 1995.

     The Company and Cycle-Sat maintain a line of credit with Firstar Bank Cedar
     Rapids (Firstar). 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 March 2, 1996 and August 26, 1995). The agreement
     contains certain restrictive covenants. As of March 2, 1996, Cycle-Sat was
     in compliance with these covenants. 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, 1997. The
     outstanding balance under the line of credit was $4,500,000 at March 2,
     1996 and $4,000,000 at August 26, 1995. As of March 2, 1996, Cycle-Sat had
     exceeded the available borrowing limit by $285,000. Subsequent to the end
     of the quarter, Cycle-Sat repaid the excess borrowings.

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 $137,647,000 and
     $120,487,000 under repurchase agreements with lending institutions as of
     March 2, 1996, and August 26, 1995, respectively. Included in these
     contingent liabilities are approximately $35,737,000 and $37,616,000,
     respectively, of certain dealer receivables subject to recourse agreements
     with NationsCredit and John Deere Credit, Inc.

6.   For the 27 weeks ended March 2, 1996 and the 26 weeks ended February 25,
     1995 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

Thirteen Weeks Ended March 2, 1996 Compared to Thirteen Weeks Ended February 25,
1995

Net revenues of manufactured products for the 13 weeks ended March 2, 1996
decreased $5,490,000 or 4.9 percent from the 13 week period ended February 25,
1995. Motor home shipments decreased by 262 units or 12.3 percent during the 13
weeks ended March 2, 1996 when compared to the second quarter of fiscal 1995.
The second quarter of 1996 continued to reflect the weakness within which the RV
industry has operated since last summer. The Company has seen an improvement in
the RV industry recently, therefore, the Company is optimistic about the outlook
for the remainder of the 1996 fiscal year.

Service revenues for the 13 weeks ended March 2, 1996 increased $3,644,000 or
87.2 percent from the comparable period of fiscal 1995. Cycle-Sat recorded
revenues of $7,441,000, an increase of $3,606,000 or 94.0 percent, primarily due
to increased revenues generated through the acquisition by Cycle-Sat of the TFI
division of MPO Videotronics (TFI) during the third quarter of fiscal 1995.

Cost of manufactured products, as a percent of manufactured product revenues,
was 87.6 percent for the 13 weeks ended March 2, 1996 compared to 85.7 percent
for the 13 weeks ended February 25, 1995. This percentage increase was primarily
caused by lower motor home production volume.

Cost of services, as a percent of service revenues, decreased during the second
quarter of fiscal 1996 to 59.0 percent from 65.2 percent during the second
quarter of fiscal 1995. This percentage decrease is attributed to the increase
in Cycle-Sat's sales and the fixed costs of its operations remaining relatively
constant.

Selling and delivery expenses decreased by $1,099,000 to $5,495,000 comparing
the 13 weeks ended March 2, 1996 to the 13 weeks ended February 25, 1995 and
decreased as a percentage of net revenues to 4.8 percent from 5.7 percent. The
decreases in dollars and percentage primarily reflects decreases in the
Company's promotional and advertising costs and net delivery expenses.

General and administrative expenses increased by $1,855,000 to $7,605,000
comparing the 13 weeks ended March 2, 1996 to the 13 weeks ended February 25,
1995 and increased as a percentage of net revenues to 6.7 percent from 5.0
percent. The increases in dollars and percentage were caused primarily by
increased spending by Cycle-Sat, increases in the Company's reserves for
retirement programs and legal reserves.

The Company had net financial income of $67,000 for the second quarter of fiscal
1996 compared to net financial income of $1,018,000 for the comparable quarter
of fiscal 1995. During the 13 weeks ended March 2, 1996, the Company recorded
realized and unrealized gains in its marketable securities portfolio of
$189,000, interest expense of $90,000 and foreign currency transaction losses of
$32,000. During the 13 weeks ended February 25, 1995, the Company recorded
$705,000 of realized and unrealized gains in its marketable securities
portfolio, $207,000 of foreign currency transaction gains and $106,000 of
interest income.

For the 13 weeks ended March 2, 1996, the Company reported net income of
$2,238,000 or $.09 per share which consisted primarily of income from
manufactured products operations of $1,987,000 ($.08 per share) and income from
Cycle-Sat operations of $26,000. This quarter's results reflect the impact of
income tax expense of $1,076,000. For the 13 weeks ended February 25, 1995, the
Company reported net income of $12,085,000 or $.48 per share which consisted
primarily of income from manufactured products operations of $6,197,000 ($.25
per share) and a net loss from Cycle-Sat operations of $487,000 ($.02 per
share). Also during the quarter ended February 25, 1995, the Company reported a
$6,000,000 ($.24 per share) credit for income taxes.

Twenty-Seven Weeks Ended March 2, 1996 Compared to Twenty-Six Weeks Ended
February 25, 1995

Net revenues of manufactured products for the 27 weeks ended March 2, 1996
decreased $16,562,000 or 7.0 percent from the 26 weeks ended February 25, 1995.
Motor home shipments decreased by 609 units or 13.4 percent during the 27 weeks
ended March 2, 1996 when compared to the first half of fiscal 1995. This
decrease in the Company's revenues is attributed to the weakness the RV industry
has experienced since last summer.

Service revenues for the 27 weeks ended March 2, 1996 increased $5,935,000 or
56.6 percent from the 26 weeks ended February 25, 1995. Cycle-Sat recorded
revenues of $15,684,000, an increase of $5,811,000, or 58.9 percent, primarily
due to increased revenues generated through the acquisition by Cycle-Sat of TFI.

Cost of manufactured products, as a percent of manufactured product revenues,
was 86.9 percent for the 27 weeks ended March 2, 1996 compared to 85.8 percent
for the 26 weeks ended February 25, 1995. This percentage increase was primarily
caused by lower motor home production volume.

Cost of services, as a percent of service revenue, decreased to 58.6 percent
from 59.1 percent when comparing the 27 weeks ended March 2, 1996 to the 26
weeks ended February 25, 1995. This percentage decrease is attributed to the
increase in Cycle-Sat's sales while its fixed costs remained constant

Selling and delivery expenses decreased by $368,000 but increased to 5.2 percent
from 5.1 percent of net revenues when comparing the 27 weeks ended March 2, 1996
to the comparable period of fiscal 1995. The decrease in dollars can be
attributed primarily to a reduction in the Company's promotional and advertising
costs.

General and administrative expenses increased by $3,123,000 to $15,277,000
comparing the 27 weeks ended March 2, 1996 to the 26 weeks ended February 25,
1995 and increased as a percentage of net revenues to 6.5 percent from 4.9
percent. The increase in dollars and percentage were caused primarily by
increases of Cycle-Sat's spending, increases in the Company's reserves for
retirement programs and provisions for product liability expenses.

The Company had net financial income of $81,000 for the first half of fiscal
1996 compared to net financial income of $824,000 for the first half of fiscal
of 1995. During the 27 weeks ended March 2, 1996, the Company recorded realized
and unrealized gains in its marketable securities portfolio of $149,000,
interest expense of $145,000, and foreign currency transaction gains of $77,000.
During the 26 weeks ended February 25, 1995, the Company recorded foreign
currency transaction gains of $313,000, realized and unrealized gains in its
marketable securities portfolio of $281,000, and interest income of $230,000.

For the 27 weeks ended March 2, 1996, the Company reported net income of
$5,228,000 or $.21 per share which consisted primarily of income from
manufactured products operations of $4,399,000 ($.17 per share) and income from
Cycle-Sat operations of $222,000 ($.01 per share). The results of the 27 weeks
ended March 2, 1996 reflect the impact of income tax expense of $2,834,000. For
the 26 weeks ended February 25, 1995, the Company reported net income of
$19,694,000 or $.78 per share which consisted primarily of income from
manufactured products operations of $12,599,000 ($.50 per share), the
aforementioned $6,000,000 ($.24 per share) tax credit, and income of $137,000
($.01 per share) from Cycle-Sat operations.

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
borrowed under agreements with financial institutions.

At March 2, 1996, working capital was $72,653,000, an increase of $2,959,000
from the amount at August 26, 1995. The Company's principal sources and uses of
cash during the 27 weeks ended March 2, 1996 are set forth in the unaudited
consolidated condensed statement of cash flows for that period.

Principal known demands at March 2, 1996 on the Company's liquid assets for the
remainder of fiscal 1996 include approximately $3,209,000 of capital
expenditures (primarily equipment replacements) and $2,535,000 of cash dividends
declared by the Board of Directors on February 1, 1996 (payable April 8, 1996).

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.

4c.  Amendment dated February 1, 1996 to Line of Credit Agreement and Term Loan
     Agreement among Winnebago Industries, Inc., Cycle-Sat, and Firstar Bank

                                FOURTH AMENDMENT
                                       TO
                                CREDIT AGREEMENT
                       (REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT FACILITY)

This Fourth Amendment to Credit Agreement ("Fourth Amendment") is dated as of
February 1, 1996 and is by and between Cycle-Sat, Inc., a corporation duly
organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Iowa, (the
"Borrower"), Winnebago Industries, Inc., (the "Guarantor") and Firstar Bank
Iowa, N.A. f/k/a Firstar Bank Cedar Rapids, N.A (the "Bank");

WHEREAS, the Borrower and the Bank have previously entered into a Credit
Agreement (the "Agreement") dated as of February 24, 1994;

WHEREAS, the Agreement has been previously amended by First Amendment to Credit
Agreement dated as of January 31, 1995 (the "First Amendment") and by Second
Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of November 2, 1995 (the "Second
Amendment") and by Third Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of January 2,
1996 (the "Third Amendment", and together with the First Amendment, the Second
Amendment and the Credit Agreement, the "Agreement").

WHEREAS, the Borrower and Bank have agreed to certain further changes to the
Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, do the parties agree to amend the Agreement as follows:

     1.   NEGATIVE COVENANTS. The following shall be added as Section 8 and all
          subsequent sections shall be relettered accordingly:

          "8.  NEGATIVE COVENANTS. The Borrower agrees that during the term of
               this Agreement and so long thereafter as any obligations remain
               outstanding, it will not, without the prior written consent of
               the Bank, make any change, for any reason whatsoever, in the
               majority ownership or control of the Borrower. Such change will
               constitute a default under the terms of this Agreement."

          2.   GENERAL PROVISIONS. The following shall be added as Section
               10.a. and all subsequent sections shall be relettered
               accordingly:

               "a.  CROSS COLLATERALIZATION AND CROSS DEFAULT. The Borrower
                    agrees that all of the Bank's security shall serve as
                    security for all of the Borrower's obligations, that the
                    Bank may make recourse to such security in any order or
                    grouping it desires, and that all of the Bank's security
                    shall remain in full force and effect, unless specifically
                    released in writing by the Bank, so long as any of the
                    Borrower's obligations remain unsatisfied or outstanding.
                    Nothing in the Agreement or this Fourth Amendment shall
                    operate in any way to reduce, abridge or limit the Bank's
                    rights under the various security instruments, including the
                    right to proceed directly against the Borrower without
                    recourse to any of the Bank's security.

                    The Borrower agrees that in the event of a default under the
                    terms of any of the Borrower's obligations, that such a
                    default shall be deemed a default under all of the
                    Borrower's obligations, at the option of the Bank."

3.   GUARANTY AFFIRMATION. Winnebago Industries, Inc. acknowledges that the
     agreement represented by this Fourth Amendment does not discharge, affect,
     or impair liability under the guaranty dated January 31, 1995.

4.   ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF RECEIPT. By their execution of the Fourth Amendment, the
     parties acknowledge receipt of a copy of this document.

5.   SAVINGS. All other terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, not
     specifically modified by this Fourth Amendment, shall remain in full force
     and effect.

ORAL PROMISES NOT CONTAINED IN THIS WRITTEN DOCUMENT (EXCEPT THE AGREEMENT AS
PREVIOUSLY AMENDED) MAY BE LEGALLY ENFORCED. YOU MAY CHANGE THE TERMS OF THIS
