          NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
   The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial
   statements present information in accordance with generally
   accepted accounting principles for interim financial information
   and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of
   the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do
   not include all information or footnotes required by generally
   accepted accounting principles for complete financial
   statements. In the opinion of management, the information
   furnished reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair
   statement of the results of the interim periods and all such
   adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These financial
   statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
   statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual
   Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 1994. The
   1995 interim results are not necessarily indicative of the
   results which may be expected for the remainder of the year.


2. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
   As a normal business practice, certain subsidiaries have made
   arrangements by which qualified retail dealers may obtain
   inventory financing. Under these arrangements, the company will
   repurchase its products in the event of repossession upon a
   retail dealer's default. These arrangements contain provisions
   which limit the company's annual repurchase obligation. The
   maximum potential repurchase commitment on June 30, 1995, was
   approximately $53 million. The company resells any repurchased
   products. Losses incurred under this program have not been
   material. The company accrues for losses that are anticipated
   in connection with expected repurchases.

   The company is engaged in a substantial number of legal
   proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. While
   the result of these proceedings cannot be predicted with any
   certainty, based upon the information presently available,
   management is of the opinion that the final outcome of all such
   proceedings should not have a material effect upon the company's
   financial position or the results of operations of the company.

   Under the requirements of Superfund and certain other laws, the
   company is potentially liable for the cost of clean-up at
   various contaminated sites identified by the United States
   Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and other agencies. The
   company has been notified that it is named a PRP for study and
   clean-up costs at various sites which the company does not
   believe to be material, as well as the sites discussed in more
   detail below. In some cases there are several named PRPs and in
   others there are hundreds. The company generally participates
   in the investigation or clean-up of these sites through cost
   sharing agreements with terms that vary from site to site.
   Costs are typically allocated based upon the volume and nature
   of the materials sent to the site and/or the amount of time the
   site was owned or operated. However, under Superfund, and
   certain other laws, as a PRP the company can be held jointly and
   severally liable for all environmental costs associated with the
   site. Except as described below, the company is currently not
   in possession of sufficient information to confirm the existence
   of liability or make any judgment as to the amount thereof
   regarding these sites.

                               -7-

<PAGE>            8

   The company is engaged in the following material legal
   proceedings:

   A. The company has substantially completed PCB remediation of
   the biota and sediment of certain waterways adjacent to the
   company's Waukegan, Illinois lakefront facility and in the
   groundwater underlying and adjacent to and on certain land of
   that facility as agreed to with the USEPA and the Illinois
   Environmental Protection Agency under a 1989 consent decree.
   The company is currently in negotiations with USEPA, U.S. Army
   Core of Engineers and their hired consultants regarding
   oversight costs which are being claimed by the agencies. To
   date the company has recovered approximately $14 million through
   settlements with insurance companies as partial reimbursement
   for costs and defense in remediation. The company is currently
   pursuing litigation against several additional insurance
   companies.

   B. In 1988 and 1989 the company received from the USEPA notices
   of potential liability and information requests regarding
   alleged releases of hazardous substances at the Cadillac
   Industrial Park in Cadillac, Michigan. The company settled with
   the Michigan Department of Natural Resources for past costs
   incurred and the national resources damages resulting from the
   alleged release of hazardous substances at the Cadillac
   Industrial Park. The settlement was within the amount
   previously accrued by the company for this site. The USEPA has
   accepted the company's conditional offer to proceed in
   conjunction with the other potentially responsible parties which
   will result in no additional funds being expended by the
   company. The company is currently in the process of finalizing
   the remediation plan with the other potentially responsible
   parties.

   C. In 1989 thirty-nine PRPs, including the company, were served
   with a notice pursuant to section 4(q) of the Illinois
   Environmental Protection Act with respect to alleged
   contamination of Brush Creek and Lake Bracken located in
   Galesburg, Illinois. The company has cooperated with the State
   of Illinois in response to the notice. In 1994 the company
   received a request to contribute to the stream-bed
   investigation. The company has complied with that request.

   D. In 1989 and 1990 the company received notices of potential
   liability and information requests from the USEPA regarding
   alleged hazardous waste contamination of the Yeoman Creek
   Landfill/Edwards Field site in Waukegan, Illinois. In 1991 the
   company and four other parties agreed to an administrative order
   issued by the USEPA to perform a remedial investigation and
   feasibility study at the site and a work plan was subsequently
   approved by the USEPA and the Illinois EPA. The parties are
   implementing the approved work plan. The company and other
   participating PRPs have filed a cost recovery action against
   non-participating PRPs. That suit is pending.

   E. In 1990 the company received from the USEPA a notice of
   potential liability and information request regarding a possible
   contamination of certain land located in Waukegan, Illinois
   currently owned by the company on which two former owners
   conducted coking operations. The company complied with the
   investigation and feasibility study at this site.

                               -8-

<PAGE>            9

   The company has substantial experience in the remediation of
   contaminated sites. Once the company becomes aware of its
   potential liability at a particular site, it uses this
   experience to determine if it is probable that a liability has
   been incurred and whether or not the amount of the loss can be
   reasonably estimated. Once the company has sufficient
   information necessary to support a reasonable estimate or range
   of loss for a particular site, an amount is added to the
   company's aggregate environmental contingent liability accrual.
   The amount added to the accrual for the particular site is
   arrived at by analyzing the site as a whole and reviewing the
   probable outcome for the remediation of the site. This is not
   necessarily the minimum or maximum liability at the site but,
   based on the company's experience, most accurately reflects the
   company's liability based on the information currently
   available. The company takes into account the number of other
   participants involved in the site, their experience in the
   remediation of sites as well as our knowledge of their ability
   to pay.

   As a general rule, the company accrues remediation costs for
   continuing operations on an undiscounted basis and does not
   accrue for normal operating and maintenance costs for site
   monitoring and compliance requirements. However, the company
   does accrue for environmental close down costs associated with
   discontinued operations or facilities, including the
   environmental costs of operation and maintenance until
   disposition. The company has accrued approximately $12 million
   for costs related to remediation at continuing and closed down
   operations as well as the proceedings discussed above. The
   possible recovery of additional insurance proceeds has not been
   considered in estimating contingent environmental liabilities.

   Each site is reviewed on a quarterly basis and the environmental
   contingent liability accrual is adjusted accordingly. Because
   the sites are reviewed and the accrual adjusted quarterly the
   company is confident that the accrual accurately reflects the
   company's liability based on the information available at the
   time.

   While the results of the proceedings discussed above cannot be
   predicted with any certainty, based upon the information
   presently available, management is of the opinion that the final
   outcome of such proceedings, after giving consideration to the
   amounts accrued, should not have a material effect on the
   company's financial position or the results of operations of the
   company.

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
           OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                           June 30, 1995

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        The past quarter was a challenging one for the company and for
the entire marine industry. After two quarters of strong growth this
fiscal year, demand for U.S. marine products unexpectedly slowed in the
company's third quarter. The quarter had flat earnings on a modest 3.4
percent sales improvement.

        For the first nine months, the company achieved substantial
improvement in sales and earnings. Pre-tax earnings, adjusted to remove
the one-time gain from the sale of Hong Kong land rights in the 1994
results, were up 60 percent in the first nine months of this year. The
company believes the U.S. marine products market will continue to grow
in 1996, although at a slower rate than the full-year 1995 rate.

        The company achieved net earnings of $28 million, or $1.39 per
share ($1.22 fully diluted), for this year's third quarter on sales of
$329.6 million. By comparison, the company reported net earnings of $28
million, or $1.40 per share ($1.23 fully diluted), on sales of $318.8
million for the same quarter last year.

        Sales for the quarter outside the U.S. increased 10 percent,
led by OMC Europe's 23 percent sales gain. Exchange rates benefitted
the company in Europe, but the company also achieved real sales and
market share growth -- an affirmation that the actions taken to streamline
European operations in 1993 and 1994 did improve the company's
competitiveness.

        In the U.S. market, sales for the quarter were up one percent.
Although the company's dealers continued to buy outboards, which drove
the Marine Power Products Group's sales up 17 percent, there was a
significant slowdown on the boat side of the business. The Fishing Boat
Group's sales increased 5 percent, while the Aluminum and Recreational
Boat Groups' sales were down 18 and 16 percent, respectively.

        The company believes the softness in the U.S. marine products
market is the product of the slowdown in the broader U.S. economy and
declining consumer confidence. In this environment consumers typically
defer discretionary, big-ticket purchases. That fact affected most
producers of large durable goods last spring.

        The U.S. marine market softened following several quarters of
growth in which the company's manufacturing operations and dealers' sales
were strong. As a result, the company and its dealers now have excess
inventory. The company has adjusted production schedules and staffing
accordingly to work these inventory levels down.

        The unabsorbed overhead from reduced production schedules, higher
material costs and increased product development spending for advanced
outboards combined to reduce gross earnings to $83.1 million in the past
quarter, down from $85 million in the same quarter last year. Pre-tax
earnings of $31.8 million for this year's third quarter compared with
$30.2 million for last year's third quarter.

                               -10-

<PAGE>            11

        For the first nine months of 1995, the company achieved net
earnings of $42.9 million, or $2.13 per share ($1.93 fully diluted), on
sales of $891 million, a 15 percent sales increase. By comparison, the
company reported net earnings of $37.8 million, or $1.89 per share
($1.73 fully diluted), on sales of $773.1 million for the first nine
months of 1994. Last year's net earnings were increased by a $10.5
million gain from the sale of Hong Kong land rights.

        Gross earnings increased more that 18 percent to $220.1 million
in the first nine months of 1995, up from $186 million in the same period
last year. Pre-tax earnings were $49.8 million in this year's first nine
months, compared with $41.6 million for the same period in 1994. However,
excluding the gain from the sale of Hong Kong land rights from the 1994
results, adjusted pre-tax earnings were up 60 percent for the first nine
months of this year compared to the same period last year.

        The provision for income taxes of $3.8 million and $6.9 million
for the three and nine months ended June 30, 1995, respectively,
resulted from expected taxes payable relating to certain international
subsidiaries.

        Due to the seasonal nature of the company's business, it is
more appropriate to compare the results of operations for the current
quarter with those of the same quarter of the preceding year rather
than the immediately preceding quarter.

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
           OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                           June 30, 1995


FINANCIAL CONDITION

        Due to the seasonal nature of the company's business, it is
more appropriate to compare the June 30, 1995 Condensed Statement of
Financial Position with June 30, 1994 rather than with the fiscal
year end at September 30, 1994. The company's ratio of current assets
to current liabilities was 1.8 at both June 30, 1995 and June 30, 1994.
Current assets of $504.4 million at June 30, 1995 increased $67.8
million as compared to current assets of $436.6 million at June 30,
1994. Receivables increased $12.1 million due primarily to higher
sales in the current quarter and to a miscellaneous receivable in
1995 on a tax interest adjustment. Inventories increased $60.7 million
due primarily to higher manufacturing activity to meet anticipated
increased demand. As a result of the slowdown in the broader U.S.
economy and declining consumer confidence, the actual increased demand
was less than anticipated. Other current assets increased $9.2 million
due primarily to deferred income tax benefits.

        Product tooling increased $5.0 million due primarily to the
introduction of new outboard models. Other assets increased $10.2
million due primarily to reclassifications of joint venture investment
and increased pension assets.

        Current liabilities increased by $41.2 million to $287.4
million as of June 30, 1995 compared to $246.2 million at June 30, 1994.
Notes payable increased $75.0 million at June 30, 1995. The decrease in
accrued and other resulted from lower restructuring accruals as
previously accrued restructuring charges were spent and also decreased
current maturities of long-term debt at June 30, 1995.

        The company's total debt to total capitalization at June 30,
1995 was 50.4 percent compared to 48.7 percent at June 30, 1994. Notes
payable increased $75.0 million at June 30, 1995 while long-term debt
decreased $.8 million and current maturities of long-term debt decreased
$10.0 million from the previous year.

        The company believes with the current capital structure and
the use of funds to be generated by operating activities, existing
cash and cash equivalents, additional funds available from existing
worldwide credit lines, and long-term debt and equity sources, it has
sufficient resources to meet future capital requirements through all
phases of the marine industry cycle for the foreseeable future.

                                                 July 20, 1995

Dear Shareholder:

The past quarter was a challenging one for OMC and for the entire marine
industry. After two quarters of strong growth this fiscal year, U.S. marine
products demand suddenly and dramatically slowed in our third quarter. The
bottom line for the quarter was flat earnings on a modest 3.4 percent sales
improvement.

But for the first nine months, we achieved very substantial improvement. Our
pre-tax earnings, adjusted to remove a one-time gain from our 1994 results,
were up 60 percent in the first nine months of this year. We also believe the
U.S. marine products market will continue to grow in 1996, although at a
slower rate than the full-year 1995 rate.

That's a snapshot of our performance for the quarter, put into the context of
a larger picture. Here are the specifics.

We achieved net earnings of $28 million, or $1.39 per share ($1.22 fully
diluted), for this year's third quarter on sales of $329.6 million. By
comparison, we reported net earnings of $28 million, or $1.40 per share ($1.23
fully diluted), on sales of $318.8 million for the same quarter last year.

Our sales outside the U.S. increased 10 percent, led by OMC Europe's 23 percent
sales gain. Exchange rates benefitted us in Europe, but we also achieved real
sales and market share growth -- an affirmation that the actions we took to
streamline our European operations in 1993 and 1994 did improve our
competitiveness.

In the U.S. market, our sales were up one percent. Although our dealers
continued to buy outboards, which drove the Marine Power Products Group's sales
up 17 percent, we saw a significant slowdown on the boat side of our business.
The Fishing Boat Group's sales increased 5 percent, while the Aluminum and
Recreational Boat Groups' sales were down 18 and 16 percent, respectively.

We believe the softness in the U.S. marine products market is the product of
the slowdown in the broader U.S. economy and declining consumer confidence.
This is an environment in which consumers defer discretionary, big-ticket
purchases. That fact affected most producers of large durable goods last
spring.

The U.S. marine market turned soft following several quarters of strong growth
in which our manufacturing operations and our dealers' sales were running in
high gear. As a result, we and our dealers now have excess inventory. We're
going to work these inventory levels down, and we've adjusted our production
schedules and staffing accordingly.

The unabsorbed overhead from our reduced production schedules, higher material
costs and increased product development spending for our advanced LEAP
outboards combined to reduce our gross earnings to $83.1 million in the past
quarter, down from $85 million in the same quarter last year. We reported
pre-tax earnings of $31.8 million for this year's third quarter, compared with
$30.2 million for last year's third quarter.

For the first nine months of 1995, we achieved net earnings of $42.9 million,
or $2.13 per share ($1.93 fully diluted), on sales of $891 million, a 15
percent sales increase. By comparison, we reported net earnings of $37.8
million, or $1.89 per share ($1.73 fully diluted), on sales of $773.1 million
for the first nine months of 1994. Last year's net earnings were increased
by a $10.5 million gain from a real estate transaction.

                               -17-

<PAGE>            18

Our gross earnings increased more than 18 percent to $220.1 million in the
first nine months of 1995, up from $186 million in the same period last year.
Our pre-tax earnings were $49.8 million in this year's first nine months,
compared with $41.6 million for the same period in 1994. However, excluding
the real estate gain from our 1994 results, we achieved adjusted pre-tax
earnings of $49.8 million for the first nine months of this year, up 60 percent
from $31.1 million for the same period last year.

It has been, overall, a very positive nine months. We have some issues to
deal with, as we've described above. But the issues affecting OMC aren't
limited to our company or our industry. We also believe they are temporary.
We've taken steps to address these immediate challenges, and, in the somewhat
longer term, we look forward to a higher level of sales growth.

For our third quarter, our board of directors declared a cash dividend of
10 cents per share payable Aug. 25, 1995, to shareholders of record Aug.
11, 1995.
