                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Basis of Presentation

         The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated 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,
except for the curtailment gain, 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
transition period from October 1, 1998 to December 31, 1998. The 1999 interim
results are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for
the remainder of the year.

Change in fiscal year.  Effective October 1, 1998, the Company's fiscal year-end
changed from September 30 to December 31.

2. Short-Term Borrowings

         The Company entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security
Agreement, effective as of January 6, 1998 (as amended, the "Credit
Agreement"), with a syndicate of lenders for which Bank of America, N.A. is
administrative and collateral agent (the "Agent"). The Credit Agreement
provides a revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") of up to
$150.0 million, subject to borrowing base limitations, to finance working
capital with a $50.0 million sublimit for letters of credit. The Revolving
Credit Facility expires on December 31, 2000. The Revolving Credit Facility is
secured by a first and only security interest in all of the Company's existing
and hereafter acquired accounts receivable, inventory, chattel paper,
documents, instruments, deposit accounts, contract rights, patents, trademarks
and general intangibles and is guaranteed by the Company's four principal
domestic operating subsidiaries. In order to meet the Company's capital
requirements, the Company entered into a Sixth Amendment to the Amended and
Restated Loan and Security Agreement effective July 30, 1999, which among other
things (i) extended the termination of the Revolving Credit Facility from
December 31, 2000 to December 31, 2001; (ii) included work-in-process inventory
in the borrowing base calculation until September 30, 1999; and (iii) extended
the duration of the borrowing base capacity for intellectual property through
October 31, 1999. On June 30, 1999, the Company had outstanding borrowings
under the Credit Agreement of $29.0 million, and had $47.3 million of letter of
credit obligations outstanding under the Credit Agreement. At June 30, 1999,
the Company was in compliance with the covenants under the Revolving Credit
Facility.

3. Contingent Liabilities

         As a normal business practice, the Company has made arrangements with
financial institutions 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 repurchase obligation to
approximately $32.5 million per model year for a period not to exceed either 18
or 30 months from the date of invoice. This obligation automatically reduces
over the 18 month period. The Company resells any repurchased products. Losses
incurred under this program have not been material. The Company accrues for
losses which are anticipated in connection with expected repurchases. For the
six month period ended June 30, 1999 and for the fiscal year 1998, the Company
repurchased approximately $2.5 million and $4.1 million of products,
respectively, all of which were resold at a discounted price. The Company does
not expect these repurchases to materially affect its results of operations.


                                       6

<PAGE>

         The Company is engaged in a substantial number of legal proceedings
arising in the ordinary course of business. While the result of these
proceedings, as well as those discussed below, 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 Condensed Statement of Consolidated Financial
Position or the Condensed Statement of Consolidated Operations and Comprehensive
Income.

         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 and other
agencies. The Company has been notified that it is named as a potentially
responsible party ("PRP") at various sites for study and clean-up costs. 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 which vary from site to site. Costs are
typically allocated based upon the volume and nature of the materials sent to
the site. 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 a site.

         Once the Company becomes aware of its potential liability at a
particular site, it uses its 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 environmental contingent liability accrual. The amount
added to the accrual for the particular site is determined 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
upon 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 and the Company's knowledge of their ability to pay.

         The Company accrues remediation costs for continuing operations on an
undiscounted basis and accrues for normal operating and maintenance costs for
site monitoring and compliance requirements. The Company also accrues for
environmental close-down costs associated with discontinued operations or
facilities, including the environmental costs of operation and maintenance until
disposition. At June 30, 1999, the Company has accrued approximately $25.0
million for costs related to remediation at contaminated sites and operation and
maintenance for site monitoring and compliance requirements. The possible
recovery of insurance proceeds has not been considered in estimating contingent
environmental liabilities.

         Each site, whether or not remediation studies have commenced, 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 upon the information available at the time.

         As a result of correcting certain performance issues with its new
FICHT fuel injection engine technology, the Company increased its warranty
reserve by $7.0 million in fiscal year 1998 and recorded costs for upgrade kits
of $4.3 million and $1.2 million for the quarters ended December 31, 1998 and
March 31, 1999, respectively. The Company believes these upgrade kits will
significantly improve the overall performance of 1998 and 1999 model year FICHT
fuel injected engines. To demonstrate the Company's confidence in the FICHT
fuel injected engines as improved by the upgrade kits, the Company has provided
a limited warranty extension on certain components from two to three years on
all 1999 model FICHT fuel injected engines purchased between January 1, 1999
and March 31, 1999 and also on those purchased by June 30, 1999 and registered
by July 15, 1999.




                                       7

<PAGE>


         On May 13, 1999, the Company announced an all-new line of Evinrude
two-stroke direct injection outboards with FICHT Ram Injection technology for
model year 2000. These engines reflect certain further design refinements and
improved methods of production.

         In March 1998, the Company received correspondence from Orbital Engine
Corporation Limited ("Orbital") alleging that the Company's FICHT fuel-injected
150-horsepower engines infringed two Australian Orbital patents, which
correspond to three U.S. patents and to a number of foreign patents. In May
1999, the Company entered into a non-assert agreement with Orbital relative to
engines sold by OMC and its licensees which use Ficht fuel injection. Under the
terms of the agreement, the Company will make certain payments to Orbital for
the use of the patents and all foreign counterparts, as well as certain other
patents, identified in the agreement. Under the terms of the agreement, the
Company is not precluded from developing Ficht fuel injection for any
application.

4. Restructuring Charges

         During the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 1998, the Company
finalized a restructuring plan for the closure/consolidation of its Milwaukee
and Waukegan engine facilities. The Company announced the closure of the
Milwaukee and Waukegan facilities on September 24, 1998. The Company recorded a
$98.5 million restructuring charge which includes: 1) costs to recognize
severance and benefits for approximately 950 employees to be terminated ($14.0
million), 2) costs to clean and close the facilities ($6.5 million), 3) costs
to ready machinery and equipment for disposal and costs to dispose of machinery
and equipment at the facilities ($3.9 million), 4) costs to write-down certain
replacement parts for machinery and equipment at the facilities to net
realizable value ($2.0 million) and 5) curtailment losses associated with the
acceleration of pension ($42.2 million) and postretirement medical benefits
($29.9 million) for employees at the two facilities. The Company's plan
includes outsourcing substantially all of its sub-assembly production currently
performed in its Milwaukee and Waukegan facilities to third-party vendors and
transferring the balance of production to other facilities of the Company. As
of June 30, 1999, the Company has identified suppliers and begun the transfer
of manufacturing responsibilities for the outsourcing of crankshafts,
propellers, drive shafts, propeller shafts, and numerous investment cast and
service parts to third-party suppliers.  The Company anticipates substantial
completion of such plan by the end of year 2000. As of June 30, 1999, the
Company has incurred approximately $0.1 million of costs against the
restructuring accrual established in the prior fiscal year.

         In April and May 1999, the Company completed its negotiations of the
closing agreements with the unions representing the Milwaukee and Waukegan
workers, respectively. These negotiations resulted in changes to the
post-retirement medical and pension plans for union employees. The changes
required an adjustment in the previous estimate of the curtailment loss for the
pension and postretirement medical benefits. Specifically, the curtailment loss
related to the postretirement medical benefit obligation was decreased by $19
million and the curtailment loss related to the pension benefit obligation was
increased by $5 million, resulting in a net reduction of the previous
curtailment loss from $72.1 million to $58.1 million. This adjustment has been
reflected in the Condensed Statement of Consolidated Operations and
Comprehensive Income as a $14 million reduction in the previously recorded
Restructuring Charge. The adjusted curtailment loss of $58.1 million represents
the


                                       8

<PAGE>


estimate of the increase in pension and postretirement medical benefit
obligations due to the closure of the Milwaukee and Waukegan facilities. The
cash payment for the pension benefits will be made from the assets of the
pension fund while the payment for the postretirement medical benefits will be
made from the general assets of the Company.

5. Pension and Postretirement Medical Plans

         In May 1999, the Company made the decision to change the pension and
post-retirement medical plans for current active employees and current retirees
of the Company. The pension plan changes include merging the Company's union
and non-union pension plans into one consolidated pension plan. In addition,
the Company will freeze the merged pension plan for non-union employees
effective September 30, 1999. Finally, the postretirement medical plan will be
changed to provide new employee contribution rates, changes in benefit levels,
different service providers and the elimination of post-65 retirement medical
coverage for employees who retire on or after January 1, 2000. These changes in
both the pension and postretirement medical plans resulted in a curtailment
gain of $7.1 million which has been reflected in the Company's Condensed
Statement of Consolidated Operations and Comprehensive Income as a reduction of
selling, general and administrative expense.

6. Segment Data

      Summarized financial information concerning the Company's reportable
segments is shown in the following table. The "Other" column includes primarily

7. Subsequent Event

         In order to meet the Company's capital requirements, the Company
entered into a Sixth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Loan and Security
Agreement effective July 30, 1999, which among other things (i) extended the
termination of the Revolving Credit Facility from December 31, 2000 to December
31, 2001; (ii) included work-in-process inventory in the borrowing base
calculation until September 30, 1999; and (iii) extended the duration of the
borrowing base capacity for intellectual property through October 31, 1999.

8. Subsidiary Guarantor Information

         The Company issued $160,000,000 10 3/4% Senior Notes due 2008
("Notes") on May 27, 1998. The Company's payment obligations under the Notes
are guaranteed by certain of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries
("Guarantor Subsidiaries"). Such guarantees are full, unconditional, unsecured
and unsubordinated on a joint and several basis by each of the Guarantor
Subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement and the Indenture governing the Notes
contain certain covenants which, among other things, restrict the ability of
the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness;
pay dividends or make distributions in respect to their capital stock; enter
into certain transactions with shareholders and affiliates; make certain
investments and other restricted payments; create liens; enter into certain
sale and leaseback transactions and sell assets. These covenants are, however,
subject to a number of exceptions and qualifications. Separate financial
statements of the Guarantor Subsidiaries are not presented because management
of the Company has determined that they are not material to investors.

         The following condensed consolidating financial data illustrates the
composition of the Company ("Parent Company"), the Guarantor Subsidiaries and
the Company's non-guarantor subsidiaries ("Other Subsidiaries"). Investments in
subsidiaries are accounted for by the Company under the equity method of
accounting for purposes of the supplemental consolidating presentation.

subsidiaries are, therefore, reflected in the Company's investment accounts
and earnings. The Company has not allocated goodwill to the Guarantor
Subsidiaries or the other subsidiaries in association with the acquisition by
and merger with Greenmarine Acquisition Corp. ("Greenmarine").

                                 PART 1, ITEM 2
           FINANCIAL INFORMATION MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                  June 30, 1999

         The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the more
detailed information and Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the
Company, together with the notes thereto, included elsewhere herein.

General

         Management Announcement. On June 2, 1999, David Jones, President and
Chief Executive Officer was named Chairman of the Company's Board of Directors.

          Market Share. As of June 30, 1999, the Company's twelve month rolling
domestic outboard engine retail market share has remained at 33% where it was
as of March 31, 1999, and its domestic boat market share has also remained at
the March 31, 1999 level of 10% as of June 30, 1999.

Results of Operations

       Periods Ended June 30, 1999 Compared to Periods Ended June 30, 1998

         Net Sales. Net sales increased to $315.6 million in the three months
ended June 30, 1999 from $282.4 million in the three months ended June 30 1998,
an increase of 11.8%. Net sales increased to $570.8 million in the six months
ended June 30, 1999 from $544.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 1998,
an increase of 4.8%. Total engine sales increased 6.3% in the quarter and were
even in the year-to-date period versus the comparable periods in 1998. The
increase was due to higher sales of engine parts and accessories which was
partially offset by the reduction in sales to certain domestic dealers and
lower international sales due to continued economic hardship in Latin America,
Russia, and Central Europe. Boat segment sales increased 21.6% and 12.9% in the
quarter and year-to-date periods versus the comparable periods in the prior
year due to increases in demand for recreational and fishing boats as well as
favorable mix improvements due to new boat model introductions.

         Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold increased to $245.4 million in
the three months ended June 30, 1999 from $214.8 million in the three months
ended June 30, 1998, an increase of $30.6 million or 14.2%. Gross earnings in
the three months ended June 30, 1999 was 22.2% of net sales as compared with
23.9% of net sales for the comparable period in 1998. Cost of goods sold
increased to $447.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 1999 from $417.7
million in the comparable period in 1998, an increase of $29.6 million or 7.1%.
Gross earnings in the six months ended June 30, 1999 was 21.6% of net sales as
compared with 23.3% of net sales for the comparable period in 1998. The
reduction in gross earnings percent for the quarter and year-to-date periods was
due to price allowances offered to dealers due to competitive pricing pressures.

         Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A") Expense. SG&A expense
decreased to $43.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 1999 from $65.5
million in the three months ended June 30, 1998, a decrease of $22.2 million or
33.9%. SG&A expense as a


                                       20

percentage of net sales decreased to 13.7% in the three months ended June 30,
1999 from 23.2% in the three months ended June 30, 1998. SG&A expense decreased
to $100.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 1999 from $127.9 million in
the six months ended June 30, 1998, a decrease of $27.5 million or 21.5%. SG&A
expense as a percentage of net sales decreased to 17.6% in the six months ended
June 30, 1999 from 23.5% in the six months ended June 30, 1998. SG&A expense
decreased in the three months ended June 30, 1999 due primarily to $6.0 million
in environmental and other contingency costs recorded in the three months ended
June 30, 1998, and due to management's emphasis on lowering discretionary
spending across the Company. Finally, the Company recorded a curtailment gain of
$7.1 million to reflect changes made to the pension and postretirement medical
plans as discussed in Note 5. For the six-month period ended June 30, 1999, SG&A
expense decreased due primarily to the reasons discussed above and due to $2.8
million in compensation expense related to forfeitures resulting from the
termination of an executive's employment agreement with a former employer in
connection with the Company's hiring the executive concurrently with the
acquisition of the Company by Greenmarine, and $2.0 million of costs associated
with implementing the Company's boat group reorganization plan which were
recorded in the prior year.

         Restructuring Charge. The Company recorded a $14.0 million reversal of
a previously recorded restructuring charge. See Note 4.

         Earnings (Loss) from Operations. Earnings from operations were $40.9
million in the three months ended June 30, 1999 compared with $2.1 million in
the three months ended June 30, 1998, an improvement of $38.8 million. Earnings
from operations increased to $37.1 million for the six months ended June 30,
1999 from a loss of $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998, an
improvement of $38.1 million. The improvements were attributable to the
curtailment gain recorded for the changes in the pension and postretirement
medical plans (see Notes 4 and 5), increased sales volume, and the prior year
periods inclusion of the expenses discussed above in the SG&A section.

         Non-Operating Expense (Income). Interest expense decreased to $7.2
million in the three months ended June 30, 1999 from $7.5 million in the three
months ended June 30, 1998, a decrease of $0.3 million. Interest expense
increased to $14.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 1999 from $13.3
million in the six months ended June 30, 1998, an increase of $1.2 million. The
decrease in interest expense in the three month period ended June 30, 1999
resulted from reduced debt levels versus the comparable prior year period. The
increase in interest expense for the six month period ended June 30, 1999
resulted from higher debt levels in the first three months of the year versus
the comparable period in the prior year. This was slightly offset by lower
comparable debt levels in the three months ended June 30, 1999. Other
non-operating income was $1.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 1999
compared to $3.0 million in the comparable period in the prior year. Other
non-operating income was $1.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 1999
compared to $4.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 1998. The decrease in
non-operating income in the three month period ending June 30, 1999 and the six
month period ending June 30, 1999 was a result of the Company selling its
interest in the joint venture Volvo Penta Marine Products L.P. to Volvo Penta of
the Americas, Inc. ("Volvo") on December 8, 1998.

         Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes was $1.1
million in the three months ended June 30, 1999 and $1.4 million in the three
months ended June 30, 1998. The provision for income taxes was $2.2 million in
the six months ended June 30, 1999 and $2.4 million in the six months ended June
30, 1998. The provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended June
30, 1999 and 1998 resulted from the net of expected taxes payable and benefits
relating to certain international subsidiaries. No tax benefit is allowed for
domestic losses because they are not considered realizable, at this time, under
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes."

Financial Condition; Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The Company's business is seasonal in nature with inventory levels
normally increasing in the Company's fiscal quarter ending December 31 and
peaking in the Company's fiscal quarter ending March 31. Current assets at June
30, 1999 decreased


                                       21

<PAGE>

$12.5 million from December 31, 1998. Receivables at June 30, 1999 decreased
$3.6 million due primarily to collections of receivables owed to the Company in
December 1998 from Volvo as a result of the Company selling its interest in the
joint venture Volvo Penta Marine Products L.P. to Volvo on December 8, 1998.
This was partially offset by the seasonal increase in receivables due to higher
sales volume during the summer season. Inventories at June 30, 1999 decreased
$25.9 million from December 31, 1998 as inventory levels, which increased at
December 1998 for seasonal inventory buildup, were sold to dealers in the
subsequent six month period ended June 30, 1999. In addition, continued focus on
effective inventory management also reduced inventory levels. Accounts payable
decreased $6.7 million from December 31, 1998 due to the seasonal nature of the
Company's business. The Company also had $30.0 million in "Restricted Cash" at
June 30, 1999, which cash is held in interest reserve accounts for the benefit
of the Company's senior lenders (as discussed below). Cash provided by
operations was $52.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 compared
with $49.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998.

         Expenditures for plant and equipment and tooling were $22.1 million for
the six months ended June 30, 1999 compared to $17.4 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1998. The higher level of expenditures is primarily related to
continued expenditures for product quality improvements, upgrades to the
Company's hardware and software, and other general capital improvements.

         Loans payable was $29.0 million at June 30, 1999 comprising borrowings
under the Company's Revolving Credit Facility. These borrowings were used to
fund operations, pay $10.0 million of the Company's Medium-Term Notes Series A,
which came due in March 1999, as well as funding capital expenditures. Current
maturities of long-term debt decreased $4.0 million from December 31, 1998 due
to the payment of the Company's Medium-Term Notes Series A offset partially by
the reclassification of certain long-term debt to current maturities for debt
that is payable within the next twelve months.

         The Company entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security
Agreement, effective as of January 6, 1998 (as amended, the "Credit Agreement"),
with a syndicate of lenders for which Bank of America, N.A. is administrative
and collateral agent (the "Agent"). The Credit Agreement provides a revolving
credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") of up to $150.0 million,
subject to borrowing base limitations, to finance working capital with a $50.0
million sublimit for letters of credit. The Revolving Credit Facility expires on
December 31, 2000. The Revolving Credit Facility is secured by a first and only
security interest in all of the Company's existing and hereafter acquired
accounts receivable, inventory, chattel paper, documents, instruments, deposit
accounts, contract rights, patents, trademarks and general intangibles and is
guaranteed by the Company's four principal domestic operating subsidiaries. In
order to meet the Company's capital requirements, the Company entered into a
Sixth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement
effective July 30, 1999, which among other things (i) extended the termination
of the Revolving Credit Facility from December 31, 2000 to December 31, 2001;
(ii) included work-in-process inventory in the borrowing base calculation until
September 30, 1999; and (iii) extended the duration of the borrowing base
capacity for intellectual property through October 31, 1999. On June 30, 1999,
the Company had outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement of $29.0
million, and had $47.3 million of letter of credit obligations outstanding under
the Credit Agreement. At June 30, 1999, the Company was in compliance with the
covenants under the Revolving Credit Facility.

         On May 27, 1998, the Company issued $160.0 million of 10 3/4% Senior
Notes due 2008 ("Senior Notes"), with interest payable semiannually on June 1
and December 1 of each year. The net proceeds from the issuance of the Senior
Notes totaled $155.2 million, of which $150.0 million was used to repay the debt
assumed by the Company as a result of the acquisition of the company by
Greenmarine. The Senior Notes will be redeemable at the option of the Company,
in whole or in part, at any time on or after June 1, 2003 in cash at prescribed
redemption prices set forth in the indenture governing the Senior Notes. In
addition, at any time prior to June 1, 2001, the Company may on any one or more
occasions redeem up to an aggregate of 35% of the original principal amount of
the Senior Notes at a redemption price of 110.750% of the principal amount
thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, with the net proceeds


                                       22

<PAGE>

of one or more equity public offerings, provided that at least 65% of the
aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes originally issued remains outstanding
immediately after the occurrence of any such redemption. The Senior Notes are
guaranteed on a joint and several basis by each of the Company's principal
domestic operating subsidiaries. The Indenture governing the Senior Notes
contains certain covenants that limit, among other things, the ability of the
Company and its restricted subsidiaries to (i) pay dividends, redeem capital
stock or make certain other restricted payments or investments; (ii) incur
additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred equity interests; (iii) merge
or consolidate with any other person or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or
otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets; (iv) create liens
on assets; and (v) enter into certain transactions with affiliates or related
persons.

         Concurrently with the issuance of the Senior Notes, the Company entered
into a depositary agreement which provided for the establishment and maintenance
of an interest reserve account for the benefit of the holders of the Senior
Notes and an interest reserve account for the benefit of the other senior
creditors of the Company. An aggregate amount of cash equal to one year's
interest due to these lenders was deposited into these interest reserve
accounts. The "Restricted Cash" must remain in such accounts until at least May
27, 2001.

         On April 14, 1999, the Company completed an exchange of all of the
Senior Notes for Series B Notes which are registered under the Securities Act of
1933, pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-4 and an accompanying
Prospectus.

         At June 30, 1999, $65.2 million principal amount of the Company's 9
1/8% Debentures due 2017 (the "9 1/8% Debentures") was outstanding. The 9 1/8%
Debentures mature on April 15, 2017, and interest thereon is payable
semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year. The 9 1/8% Debentures are
redeemable through the operation of a sinking fund beginning on April 15, 1998,
and each year thereafter to and including April 15, 2016 at a sinking fund
redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued
interest to the redemption date. On or prior to April 15 in each of the years
1999 to 2016 inclusive, the Company is required to make a mandatory sinking fund
payment in cash in an amount sufficient to redeem 9 1/8% Debentures in the
aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 plus accrued interest thereon. However,
9 1/8% Debentures reacquired or redeemed by the Company may be used at the
principal amount thereof to reduce the amount of any one or more mandatory
Sinking Fund payments. As of June 30, 1999, the Company had repurchased and
deposited with the trustee for the 9 1/8% Debentures $34.8 million principal
amount of 9 1/8% Debentures, which will be used to satisfy its mandatory sinking
fund obligations through April 15, 2004. The Company at its option may make an
optional sinking fund payment in cash in each year from 1999 to 2016 inclusive
in an amount sufficient to redeem up to an additional $10,000,000 principal
amount of 9 1/8% Debentures.

         At June 30, 1999, an aggregate of approximately $10.8 million principal
amount of the Company's Medium-Term Notes Series A (the "Medium-Term Notes") was
outstanding. Interest rates on the Medium-Term Notes range from 8.550 % to
8.625%. The maturity dates of the Medium-Term Notes include March 15, 2000 and
March 15, 2001. Interest on each of the outstanding Medium-Term Notes is payable
semi-annually each March 30 and September 30 and at maturity.

         At June 30, 1999, $7.1 million principal amount of the Company's 7%
Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2002 (the "Convertible Debentures") was
outstanding. Following the Merger, the Company was required to offer to purchase
for cash any and all of the then outstanding Convertible Debentures at a
purchase price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount of each
Convertible Debenture plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon. On November
12, 1997, the Company consummated such offer to purchase and, as a result
thereof, purchased $67.7 million principal amount of Convertible Debentures.
Immediately prior to the Merger, the Convertible Debentures were convertible
into shares of common stock of the Company at the conversion price of $22.25 per
share. As a result of the Merger, the remaining $7.1 million principal amount of
outstanding Convertible Debentures are no longer convertible into shares of
common stock of the Company. Each holder of the remaining outstanding
Convertible Debentures now has the right to convert (at what was $22.25 per
share) such holder's Convertible Debentures and receive cash in an amount equal
to what each holder would


                                       23

<PAGE>

have received had they converted the Convertible Debentures into common stock
immediately prior to the Merger ($18.00 per share). Accordingly, the remaining
outstanding Convertible Debentures are convertible into the right to receive a
cash payment equal to $809 for each $1,000 principal amount of Convertible
Debentures so converted (i.e., ($18.00/$22.25) x $1,000). The outstanding
Convertible Debentures are convertible at any time prior to their maturity on
July 1, 2002.

         The Company has various Industrial Revenue Bonds outstanding in an
aggregate principal amount of approximately $11.8 million. The Industrial
Revenue Bonds have various maturity dates between 2002 and 2007. Interest rates
on the Industrial Revenue Bonds range from 6% to 12.037%.

         In the remaining periods in fiscal year 1999, the Company will be
required to pay approximately $1.2 million in cash to satisfy obligations that
will become due at various times under certain of its Industrial Revenue Bonds.

         As a normal business practice, the Company has made arrangements with
financial institutions by which qualified retail dealers may obtain inventory
financing. Under certain arrangements, the Company will repurchase products in
the event of repossession upon a retail dealer's default. These arrangements
contain provisions which limit the Company's repurchase obligation to
approximately $32.5 million per model year for a period not to exceed either 18
or 30 months from the date of invoice. The Company resells any repurchased
products. Losses incurred under this program have not been material. For the six
month period ended June 30, 1999 and for the fiscal year 1998, the Company
repurchased approximately $2.5 million and $4.1 million of products,
respectively, all of which were resold at a discounted price. The Company
accrues for losses that are anticipated in connection with expected repurchases.
The Company does not expect these repurchases to materially affect its results
of operations.

         Based upon the current level of operations and anticipated cost
savings, the Company believes that its cash flow from operations, together with
borrowings under the Credit Agreement, the interest reserve accounts and its
other sources of liquidity, will be adequate to meet its presently anticipated
requirements for working capital and accrued liabilities, capital expenditures,
interest payments and scheduled principal payments over the next several years.
There can be no assurance, however, that the Company's business will continue to
generate cash flow at or above current levels or that anticipated costs savings
can be fully achieved. If the Company is unable to generate sufficient cash flow
from operations in the future to service its debt and accrued liabilities and
make necessary capital expenditures, or if its future earnings growth is
insufficient to amortize all required principal payments out of internally
generated funds, the Company may be required to refinance all or a portion of
its existing debt, sell assets or obtain additional financing. There can be no
assurance that any such refinancing or asset sales would be possible or that any
additional financing could be obtained on attractive terms, particularly in view
of the Company's high level of debt.

Restructuring Charge

         On September 24, 1998, the Company announced that it would be closing
its Milwaukee, Wisconsin and Waukegan, Illinois facilities by the end of the
year 2000. A restructuring charge of $98.5 million was recognized in the fiscal
quarter ended September 30, 1998 and includes charges for the costs associated
with closing these two facilities, and the related employee termination benefits
for approximately 950 employees. The Company plans to outsource substantially
all of the manufacturing of parts currently produced by these two facilities to
third party vendors with the balance being relocated to other facilities of the
Company. As of June 30, 1999, the Company has identified suppliers and begun the
transfer of manufacturing responsibilities for the outsourcing of crankshafts,
propellers, drive shafts, propeller shafts, and numerous investment cast and
service parts to third-party suppliers and continues to obtain and review
proposals from vendors in anticipation of outsourcing the remainder of
production. The Company anticipates substantial completion of such plan by the
end of year 2000. As of June 30, 1999, the Company has incurred $0.1 million in
costs against the restructuring accrual established in the prior fiscal year.

         In April and May 1999, the Company completed its negotiations of the
closing agreements with the unions representing the Waukegan and Milwaukee
employees, respectively. These negotiations resulted in modifications to the
post-retirement medical and pension plans for union employees. The changes


                                       24

<PAGE>

required an adjustment in the previous estimate of the curtailment loss for the
pension and postretirement medical benefits. Specifically, the curtailment loss
relating to the postretirement benefit obligation was decreased by $19 million
and the curtailment loss related to the pension benefit obligation was increased
by $5 million, resulting in a net reduction of the previously reported
curtailment loss of $14 million. This adjustment has been reflected in the
Condensed Statement of Consolidated Operations and Comprehensive Income as a $14
million reduction in the previously recorded Restructuring Charge. The adjusted
curtailment loss of $58.1 million represents the estimate of the increase in
pension benefit obligations due to the closure of the Milwaukee and Waukegan
facilities. The cash payment for the pension benefits will be made from the
Company's pension fund while the payment for the postretirement medical benefits
will be made from the general assets of the Company.

FICHT Technology

         As a result of correcting certain performance issues with its new
FICHT fuel injection engine technology, the Company increased its warranty
reserve by $7.0 million in fiscal year 1998 and recorded costs for upgrade kits
of $4.3 million and $1.2 million for the quarters ended December 31, 1998 and
March 31, 1999, respectively. The Company believes these upgrade kits will
significantly improve the overall performance of 1998 and 1999 model year FICHT
fuel injected engines. To demonstrate the Company's confidence in the FICHT
fuel injected engines as improved by the upgrade kits, the Company has provided
a limited warranty extension on certain components from two to three years on
all 1999 model FICHT fuel injected engines purchased between January 1, 1999
and March 31, 1999 and also on those purchased by June 30, 1999 and registered
by July 15, 1999.

         On May 13, 1999, the Company announced an all-new line of Evinrude
two-stroke direct injection outboards with FICHT Ram Injection technology for
model year 2000. These engines reflect certain further design refinements and
improved methods of production.

         In March 1998, the Company received correspondence from Orbital Engine
Corporation Limited ("Orbital") alleging that the Company's FICHT fuel-injected
150-horsepower engines infringed two Australian Orbital patents, which
correspond to three U.S. patents and to a number of foreign patents. In May,
1999, the Company entered into a non-assert agreement with Orbital relative to
engines sold by OMC and its licensees which use Ficht fuel injection. Under the
terms of the agreement, the Company will make certain payments to Orbital for
the use of the patents and all foreign counterparts, as well as certain other
patents, identified in the correspondence. Under the terms of the agreement, the
Company is not precluded from developing Ficht fuel injection for any
application.

Reduction in Force

In May 1999, the Company announced a headcount reduction of approximately 200
employees at both its Corporate and North American Engine Operations in
Waukegan, Illinois. Approximately one third of these reductions will be
accomplished through attrition and retirements. The Company has recorded an
expense approximating $1.3 million for severance and related benefits for the
affected employees. This expense is reflected in the Condensed Statements of
Consolidated Operations and Comprehensive Income as part of Selling, General,
and Administrative expense.

Year 2000 Matters

         During 1997 and 1998, the Company assessed the steps necessary to
address issues raised by the coming of Year 2000. The steps to be taken included
reviews of the Company's hardware and software requirements worldwide, including
processors embedded in its manufacturing equipment, as well as vendors of goods
and services. Based on this review, the Company developed a strategy for
attaining Year 2000 compliance that includes modifying and replacing software,
acquiring new hardware, educating its dealers and distributors and working with
vendors of both goods and services. With the assessment phase of the strategy
completed, the Company is in the process of implementing and testing remedies of
issues identified during the assessment phase. To date, all applications on the
Company's mainframe and mid-range computer platforms have been reprogrammed and
testing was completed in the second quarter of calendar 1999. Issues raised
relative to personal computers and local and wide area networks are in the
process of being remedied through the acquisition of new software and hardware.
The Company has found very few embedded processors contained in its
manufacturing equipment that would be affected by the Year 2000 and corrective
actions are being taken for those identified. Most of the Company's
telecommunications equipment is currently Year 2000 compliant and in cases where
it is not, the equipment has either been replaced or appropriation requests for
the replacement have been prepared and are being processed. The Company has
completed 90% of implementation and testing of internal remedies as of June 30,
1999.

         As part of the Company's Year 2000 compliance efforts, it has
substantially reviewed all vendors of goods and is currently reviewing vendors
providing services and prioritized them as either critical (i.e., vendors whose
goods or services are necessary for the Company's continued operation) or
non-critical (i.e., suppliers whose products were either not critical to the
continued operation of the Company or whose goods or services could otherwise be
readily obtained from alternate sources) providers. These vendors range from
service providers, such as banks, utility companies and benefit plan service
providers to suppliers of goods required for the manufacture of the Company's
products. Following this initial vendor review, the Company established a
strategy to determine the readiness of those vendors for Year 2000. This
initially involved sending a letter notifying the vendor of the potential Year
2000 issues, which was followed by a questionnaire to be completed by the
vendor. In the event a non-critical supplier either did not respond or responded
inadequately, follow-up questionnaires were sent and calls made in order to
further clarify the vendor situation. In the event that a critical vendor did
not respond or responded inadequately, the Company not only followed up with
additional questionnaires and telephone calls but also scheduled on-site
meetings with the vendor in order to satisfy itself that the vendor is or will
be prepared to operate into the Year 2000. The Company believes that the
unresponsive critical vendors create the most uncertainty in the Company's Year
2000 compliance efforts. In the event that the Company is not satisfied that a
critical vendor will be able to provide its goods or services into the Year
2000, the Company will review alternate suppliers who are in a position to
assure the Company that they are or will be Year 2000 ready. The timing of the
Company's decision to change vendors will depend on what type of goods or
service the non-responsive or non-compliant vendor provides and the lead time
required for an alternate vendor to begin supplying. The Company has reviewed
those critical vendors that have not responded adequately and has been reviewing
the timing of replacing, if necessary, any such non-compliant vendor. In
connection with the Company's initiative to outsource non-core capabilities, a
potential vendor's Year 2000 readiness is one criteria the Company will consider
in selecting the vendor for such outsourcing activity.


                                       26

<PAGE>


         In addition, the Company has reviewed the outboard motors, stern drives
and parts and accessories, including trolling motors, which it previously
manufactured and currently manufactures for sale to its dealers, distributors
and original equipment manufacturers and has determined that those products are
Year 2000 compliant.

         In preparing for the advent of the Year 2000, the Company has taken
steps to heighten the awareness among its dealer and distributor network of the
issues associated with the Year 2000. The issue is covered in monthly
publications which are distributed to the dealers and also by the sales force
that is responsible for the regular communications with the dealer and
distributor network.

         To date, the Company has spent a total of approximately $10.4 million
($4.2 million capitalized) on personal computer and network, mainframe and
telecommunication solutions for issues related with the Year 2000 and estimates
that it will spend up to a total of $12.6 million ($5 million capital),
approximately half of which is associated with personal computers and networks,
to remedy all of the issues associated with ensuring that its hardware and
software worldwide,and the systems associated therewith, are able to operate
into the Year 2000. The Company has expensed these items, except for hardware
costs incurred in the normal course of business and certain software costs,
which have been capitalized, in the Company's Condensed Statements of
Consolidated Operations and Comprehensive Income for the applicable period.

         The Company believes that its owned or licensed hardware and software
will be able to operate into the Year 2000. However, the Company relies on the
goods and services of other companies in order to manufacture and deliver its
goods to the market. Although the Company is taking every reasonable step to
determine that these vendors will be able to continue to provide their goods or
services, there can be no assurance that, even upon assurance of their ability
to do so, the Company's vendors will be able to provide their goods and services
to the Company in a manner that satisfactorily addresses the Year 2000 issues.
If, on or near January 1, 2000, the Company discovers that a non-critical
vendor, which previously assured the Company that it would be Year 2000
compliant, is in-fact not compliant, an alternate supplier will be used by the
Company and there should be no material effect on the Company's business. If, on
or near January 1, 2000, the Company discovers that a critical vendor, such as a
utility company or a supplier of a part, component, or other goods or service
that is not readily available from an alternate supplier, which previously
assured the Company that it would be Year 2000 compliant, the Company may not be
able to produce, on a timely basis, finished goods for sale to its dealers. If
this should occur, the Company will either wait for such vendor to become Year
2000 compliant or seek an alternate vendor who can provide the applicable goods
or services in a more timely manner. In the event that the vendor is critical
and either no alternate vendor is available or is able to operate into the Year
2000, this event could have a negative impact on the Company's business, results
of operations, or financial condition.

Euro Currency Conversion

         January 1, 1999, eleven of the fifteen member countries of the European
Union adopted the "euro" as their common legal currency. The euro trades on
currency exchanges and is available for non-cash transactions. From January 1,
1999 through January 1, 2002, each of the participating countries are scheduled
to maintain their national ("legacy") currencies as legal tender for goods and
services. Beginning January 1, 2002, new euro-denominated bills and coins will
be issued, and legacy currencies will be withdrawn from circulation no later
than July 1, 2002. The Company's foreign operating subsidiaries that will be
affected by the euro conversion have established plans to address any business
issues raised, including the competitive impact of cross-border price
transparency. It is not anticipated that there will be any near term business
ramifications; however, the long-term implications, including any changes or
modifications that will need to be made to business and financial strategies are
still being reviewed. From an accounting, treasury and computer system
standpoint, the impact from the euro currency conversion


                                       27

<PAGE>

is not expected to have a material impact on the financial position or results
of operations of the Company.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

         In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
133 ("SFAS 133"), "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities." SFAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring
that every derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset
or liability measured at its fair value. SFAS 133 requires that changes in the
derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific
hedge accounting criteria are met. Special accounting for qualifying hedges
allows a derivative's gains and losses to offset related results on the hedged
item in the income statement, and requires that a company must formally
document, designate, and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive
hedge accounting. SFAS 133 is effective for fiscal years and quarters beginning
in fiscal 2001. The Company has not yet quantified the impacts of adopting SFAS
133 on its financial statements and has not determined the timing of or method
of its adoption of SFAS 133.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

         The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest and
foreign exchange rates and commodity prices. From time to time, the Company
enters into financial arrangements in the ordinary course of business to hedge
these exposures. The Company uses forward and option contracts to reduce the
earnings and cash flow impact of nonfunctional currency denominated receivables
and payables. The contract maturities are matched with the settlement dates of
the related transactions. As of June 30, 1999, there were net unrealized gains
on forward contracts of $0.6 million, calculated as the difference between the
contract rate and the rate available to terminate the contracts. As these
contracts are used for hedging purposes, management believes that these
potential gains/losses would be largely offset by gains/losses on the underlying
firm commitments or anticipated transactions. The Company's exposure to
commodity price changes relates to certain manufacturing operations that utilize
various commodity-based components, primarily for aluminum. The Company manages
its exposure to changes in prices through the terms of its supply and
procurement contracts and the use of exchange-traded and over-the-counter
commodity contracts. As of June 30, 1999, there was no material unrealized loss
on aluminum futures.
