                                   (unaudited)



   1)   Basis of Presentation

        The consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited. 
        In the opinion of management, these statements contain all
        adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring items) necessary to
        present fairly the financial position of Johnson Worldwide
        Associates, Inc. (the Company) as of June 30, 1995, the results of
        operations for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 1995
        and cash flows for the nine months ended June 30, 1995.  These
        consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
        the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in
        the Company's Annual Report for the year ended September 30, 1994.

        Because of seasonal and other factors, the results of operations for
        the three months and nine months ended June 30, 1995 are not
        necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
        year.

   2)   Income Taxes

        The provision for income taxes includes deferred taxes and is based
        upon estimated annual effective tax rates in the tax jurisdictions in
        which the Company operates.

   4)   Shareholders' Equity

        In December 1994 the Company granted options to purchase 114,000
        shares of Class A common stock at $18.625 per share.

   5)   Acquisitions

        On April 11, 1995, the Company completed the acquisition of the
        assets of a line of fishing tackle products.  The initial purchase
        price for the acquisition was approximately $25.4 million, of which a
        substantial amount was recorded as intangible assets.  Additional
        payments in the fiscal years 1996 through 2001 are dependent upon
        achievement of specified levels of sales and profitability of certain
        of the acquired products.  Such payments, if required, will increase
        intangible assets.  The acquisition was accounted for using the
        purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the financial
        statements include the results of operations since April 1, 1995, the
        effective date of the acquisition.

        On June 30, 1995, the Company completed the acquisition of a line of
        electric motor and other marine products. The initial purchase price
        for the acquisition was approximately $2,500,000. Additional payments
        in the fiscal years 1996 through 2000 are dependent upon achievement
        of specified levels of sales of the acquired product line.  Such
        payments, if required, will increase intangible assets.  The
        acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting
        and, accordingly, the financial statements will include the results
        of operations beginning on July 1, 1995.

        In conjunction with the acquisitions, the Company entered into an
        unsecured revolving credit facility in the amount of $30,000,000 to
        provide interim financing.  Interest rates are set periodically by
        reference to market rates.  Committed permanent financing for the
        acquisitions, in the form of $30,000,000 of unsecured senior notes
        bearing interest at 7.77%, will be issued October 15, 1995, at which
        time any amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility will
        be retired.  The senior notes will have annual principal payments of
        $3,000,000 to $5,000,000 beginning October 1999 with a final payment
        due in October 2005.

        Pro forma operating results for the nine months ended June 30, 1995,
        as if the acquisitions had been consumated as of October 1, 1994 are
        as follows (thousands of dollars, except per share data):

                                AND SUBSIDIARIES

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



   This discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited
   consolidated financial statements and related notes that immediately
   precede this section.  Comparisons reflect results from continuing
   operations.

   The Company has significant foreign operations, for which the functional
   currencies are denominated in French francs, German marks, Italian lire,
   Japanese yen and Canadian dollars.  As the value of the currencies of the
   foreign countries in which the Company has operations increases relative
   to the U.S. dollar, the sales, expenses, profits, assets and liabilities
   of the Company's foreign operations, as reported in the Company's
   consolidated financial statements, increase.  Likewise, as the value of
   the currencies of these foreign countries decrease relative to the U.S.
   dollar, the elements of the Company's foreign operations, as reported in
   the Company's consolidated financial statements, decrease.  The Company
   mitigates a portion of the fluctuations in certain foreign currencies
   through purchase of forward contracts to hedge known commitments,
   primarily for product purchases and debt denominated in other currencies.

   Results of Operations

   Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 1995 were $117.8 million, an
   increase of approximately 24% from net sales of $95.1 million for the
   corresponding period in 1994. Net sales of the Company's North American
   group for the three months ended June 30, 1995 increased $13.9 million or
   approximately 24% over the corresponding period in 1994.  Fishing products
   sold by the Company's North American group were the principal cause of
   this increase.  New products and sales of an acquired product line
   contributed substantially to the increase.  Net sales of the Company's
   European group for the three months ended June 30, 1995 increased $8.8
   million or approximately 27% over the corresponding period in 1994.  All
   of the European businesses contributed to the increase which was magnified
   by the effects of foreign currency movements.

   Net sales of $277.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 1995
   increased $53.7 million or approximately 24% from net sales of $223.4
   million for the corresponding period in 1994.  Net sales of the Company's
   North American group for the nine months ended June 30, 1995 increased
   $33.1 million or approximately 24% over the corresponding period in 1994. 
   New fishing products were the principal cause of this increase, although
   all businesses experienced sales growth.  Net sales of the Company's
   European group for the nine months ended June 30, 1995 increased $20.2
   million or approximately 25% over the corresponding period in 1994.  All
   of the European businesses contributed to the increase, which was
   magnified by the effects of foreign currency movements.

   Relative to the U.S. dollar, the average value of most currencies of the
   European countries in which the Company has operations was higher for the
   three months and nine months ended June 30, 1995 as compared to the
   corresponding periods in 1994.  Excluding the impact of foreign
   currencies, net sales for the Company increased 17% and 18% for the three
   months and nine months ended June 30, 1995, respectively, compared to the
   corresponding periods in 1994.

   Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 1995 increased $8.6
   million or approximately 22% as compared to the corresponding period in
   1994.  Gross profit for the nine months ended June 30, 1995 increased
   $17.5 million or approximately 19% as compared to the corresponding period
   in 1994.  The increased gross profit in both the three months and nine
   months ended June 30, 1995 is due to increased sales.  However, gross
   profit percentages for both the three months and the nine months ended
   June 30, 1995 declined as compared to the corresponding periods in 1994
   primarily due to changes in product mix, new early season selling
   programs, increased costs for purchased items and increased freight costs
   for certain of the Company's fishing products.

   Operating profit for the three months ended June 30, 1995 increased
   $920,000 or approximately 6% over the corresponding period in 1994. 
   Operating profit for the nine months ended June 30, 1995 increased by
   $706,000 or approximately 3% from the corresponding period in 1994.  The
   increased gross profit was partially offset by increased operating
   expenses, particularly marketing and selling expenses associated with the
   Company's North American fishing products.  

   Interest expense of $2.4 million and $5.4 million for the three months and
   nine months ended June 30, 1995 respectively, represents an increase of
   $648,000 and a decrease of $126,000, respectively, over the corresponding
   periods in 1994.  The increase in interest expense for the three months
   ended June 30, 1995 is a result of higher debt levels due to acquisitions
   and increased working capital needs, as well as higher interest rates on
   short-term debt.  The decrease in interest expense year-to-date is
   primarily a result of lower average debt levels, partially offset by
   higher interest rates on short-term debt, particularly in the United
   States.  Due to these increased interest rates and the increased debt
   levels from the Company's acquisition and other business activities, the
   Company expects higher interest costs for at least the remainder of this
   year and fiscal 1996 as compared to the corresponding periods in 1994.

   Income from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 1995
   was $8.2 million as compared to $7.9 million for the corresponding period
   in 1994.  Income from continuing operations for the nine months ended June
   30, 1995 was $12.8 million as compared to $12.0 million for the
   corresponding period in 1994.

   Financial Condition

   Inventory and accounts receivable totaled $194.6 million on June 30, 1995
   or $41.2 million higher than inventory and accounts receivable levels on
   July 1, 1994.  The increase from the prior year levels is due to higher
   sales for the nine months ended June 30, 1995 as compared to the
   corresponding period in 1994 and because of the changing relationship
   between the U.S. dollar and the currencies of the European countries in
   which the Company has operations.  The change in the foreign currencies'
   values relative to the U.S. dollar caused approximately $9.2 million of
   the $41.2 million increase in the June 30, 1995 inventory and accounts
   receivable levels as compared to the July 1, 1994 levels.  The increase
   from the September 30, 1994 inventory and accounts receivable levels
   reflects seasonal increases in connection with the Company's peak selling
   periods in the second and third quarters.  Inventory turns improved for
   the nine months ended June 30, 1995 compared to the corresponding period
   in 1994.  Property, plant and equipment at June 30, 1995 exceeded the
   September 30, 1994 levels due to purchases of information technology and
   tooling and manufacturing equipment.  Intangible assets have increased
   primarily due to acquisitions.  Current notes payable as of June 30, 1995
   were approximately $35 million higher than the September 30, 1994 levels,
   due primarily to the need to finance the Company's seasonal increase in
   inventories and accounts receivable.  Long-term obligations have increased
   approximately $25.2 million from the September 30, 1994 level due to
   financing of acquisitions.  Cash flow from operations and borrowings under
   existing and new committed credit facilities are sufficient to meet the
   Company's seasonal working capital, acquisition and capital expenditure
   requirements.
