                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

       The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
       prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
       interim financial statements and, therefore, do not include all
       information and disclosures of results of operations, financial position
       and changes in cash flow in conformity with generally accepted accounting
       principles for complete financial statements.  Accordingly, such
       statements should be read in conjunction with the previously filed Form
       10-K.  In the opinion of management, such statements reflect all
       adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary
       for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations,
       and cash flows for the periods presented.  Due to the seasonality of the
       snowmobile, all terrain vehicle (ATV) and personal watercraft (PWC)
       business, and to certain changes in production and shipping cycles,
       results of such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to
       be expected for the complete year.

NOTE 3.   FINANCING AGREEMENT

          Effective May 8, 1995, the Company entered into an unsecured bank line
          of credit arrangement with maximum available borrowings of
          $125,000,000.  Interest is charged at rates based on LIBOR or "prime"
          and the agreement expires March 31, 1998.

NOTE 4.   DIVIDEND PAYABLE

          On May 11, 1995, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a
          special cash distribution of $1.92 per share payable on July 5, 1995,
          to holders of record on June 9, 1995. This special cash distribution
          totals approximately $34,975,000.  In addition, on May 11, 1995, the
          Board of

NOTE 4.   DIVIDEND PAYABLE
          (cont'd)

          Directors of the Company declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of
          $0.15 per share payable on August 15, 1995, to holders of record on
          August 3, 1995.  This regular cash dividend totals approximately
          $2,733,000.


NOTE 5.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

          The Company has elected not to insure for product liability losses.
          The estimated costs resulting from any losses are charged to operating
          expenses when it is probable a loss has been incurred and the amount
          of the loss is determinable.

          The Company is a defendant in lawsuits and subject to claims arising
          in the normal course of business.  While it is not feasible to
          determine the outcome of any of these cases, it is the opinion of
          management that their outcomes will not, in the aggregate, have a
          material adverse effect on the financial position or operations of the
          Company.

          In 1990, the Canadian income tax authorities proposed certain
          adjustments, principally relating to the original purchase price
          allocation to the Canadian subsidiary of the Company's predecessor and
          transfer pricing matters, for additional income taxes payable by the
          Canadian subsidiary for 1987 and 1988.  The resolution of these
          proposed adjustments will also affect the Company's Canadian income
          tax expense for years subsequent to 1988.  The Canadian income tax
          authorities have initiated an audit of the tax years 1989 through
          1991.  Management continues to vigorously contest certain of the
          proposed adjustments.  Management does not believe that the outcome of
          this matter will have a materially adverse impact on the financial
          position or operations of the Company.


NOTE 6.   PRO FORMA INFORMATION

          Pro forma information for 1994 is presented to assist in comparing the
          continuing results of operations of the Company as if the Company were
          a taxable corporation throughout 1994.  The pro forma provision for
          income taxes has been calculated at an effective tax rate of 38
          percent.

                                     ------

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


The following discussion pertains to the results of operations and financial
position of Polaris Industries Inc., a Minnesota corporation (the "Company"),
for the quarters and six-month periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1994.  Due to the
seasonality of the snowmobile, all terrain vehicle (ATV) and personal watercraft
(PWC) business, and to certain changes in production and shipping cycles,
results of such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the complete year.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Sales increased to $285.4 million in the second quarter of 1995, representing a
58 percent increase over the $180.9 million of sales for the same period in
1994.  Total finished goods unit shipments for the 1995 period increased 45
percent over the same period in 1994.  The increase in sales is attributable to
a significant increase in sales of snowmobiles and PWC, due largely to continued
strong demand and enhanced manufacturing capacity compared with the second
quarter of 1994.

Snowmobile unit sales volume in the second quarter of 1995 increased 142 percent
over the comparable period in 1994 primarily because of the addition of the
Spirit Lake, Iowa assembly plant that has enhanced overall production capacity,
enabling the Company to manufacture and ship 1996 model snowmobiles earlier from
the Roseau, Minnesota facility.

ATV unit sales volume in the second quarter of 1995 was approximately the same
as the comparable period in 1994.

PWC unit sales volume in the second quarter of 1995 increased 40 percent over
the comparable period in 1994, primarily because of the fast growth in the PWC
market and the introduction of models aimed at both the family and sports rider
market segments.  All Polaris PWC are now being assembled at the Company's new
manufacturing facility in Spirit Lake, Iowa.

Sales of related parts, garments and accessories in the second quarter of 1995
increased 33 percent over the comparable period in 1994, as a result of
increased sales volumes of the other product lines.

Sales increased to $540.2 million for the year-to-date period ended June 30,
1995, representing a 66 percent increase over the $326.4 million of sales for
the same period in 1994.  Total finished goods unit shipments for the year-to-
date 1995 period increased 62 percent over the same period in 1994.

Polaris Industries Inc.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of
Operations (cont'd)

Gross profit of $58.0 million in the second quarter of 1995 represents a 69
percent increase over gross profit of $34.3 million for the same period in 1994.
Gross profit of $104.7 million in the year-to-date period ended June 30, 1995
represents a 69 percent increase over gross profit of $62.1 million for the same
period in 1994.  The gross profit margin percentage increased to 20.3 percent
for the second quarter of 1995 and to 19.4 percent for the year-to-date period
ended June 30, 1995, from 18.9 percent for  the second quarter and 19.0 percent
for the year-to-date period in 1994. This increase in gross margin percentage is
primarily a result of the change in product sales mix in 1995 since sales of
snowmobiles generate higher gross margins than ATVs and PWC, offset by: (a)
continued increases in raw material purchase prices for engines and certain
other component parts because of the weakening of the U.S. dollar in relation to
the Japanese yen; (b) an increase in warranty expenses as a result of the
emphasis on technological innovation and introduction of new high-performance
models; and (c) strengthening of the U.S. dollar in relation to the Canadian
dollar which results in lower gross margins from the Company's Canadian
subsidiary operation.

Operating expenses in the second quarter of 1995 increased $15.1 million (67
percent)  over the comparable period in 1994  primarily as a result of the sales
volume increase, and as a percentage of sales, increased to 13.2 percent for the
second quarter of 1995 compared to 12.5 percent for the same period in 1994.
The percentage increase is due primarily to costs associated with a PWC dealer
rebate promotion introduced in the second quarter of 1995 to help stimulate
retail sales of one particular PWC model.  Operating expenses in the year-to-
date period ended June 30, 1995 increased $24.2 million (60 percent) over the
comparable period in 1994, as a result of the sales volume increase, but as a
percentage of sales, decreased to 12.0 percent for the year-to-date period of
1995 compared to 12.5 percent for the same period in 1994. The percentage
decrease is due primarily to the Company's supporting an increasing level of
sales without a corresponding increase in selling and administrative expenses.

The increase in nonoperating income for the year-to-date period ended June 30,
1995  over the 1994 period is primarily attributable to investment income
generated by higher cash and cash equivalent balances during the 1995 period
compared to the same period in 1994.

CASH DIVIDENDS AND SPECIAL CASH DISTRIBUTIONS

On April 18, 1995, the Board of Directors declared a regular cash dividend of
$0.15 per share payable on May 15, 1995, to holders of record on May 3, 1995.

On May 11, 1995, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a special cash
distribution of $1.92 per share payable on July 5, 1995, to holders of record on
June 9, 1995, and a regular dividend of $0.15 per share payable on August 15,
1995, to holders of record on August 3, 1995.

Management has recommended to the Board of Directors that it pay an initial cash
dividend of $0.15 per share per quarter, and make an additional special cash
distribution of $1.92 per share, payable during the fourth quarter of 1995.
Management expects to incur indebtedness of up to $70 million in connection with
the payment of the special cash distributions.  The timing and amount of future
dividends and distributions will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors
and will depend, among other things, on continuing levels of performance and the
financial strength of the Company.  There can be no assurance that the
recommended dividends or cash distributions for 1995 will be declared and paid.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The seasonality of production and shipments causes working capital requirements
to fluctuate during the year.  At June 30, 1995, the Company had no short-term
debt and had letters of credit outstanding of $10.3 million related to purchase
obligations for raw materials.  Effective May 8, 1995, the Company entered into
an unsecured bank line of credit arrangement with maximum available borrowings
of $125 million.  Interest is charged at rates based on LIBOR or "prime" and the
agreement expires March 31, 1998.

Management believes that existing cash balances, cash flow to be generated from
operating activities and available borrowing capacity under the line of credit
arrangement will be sufficient to fund operations, regular dividends, special
cash distributions and capital requirements for 1995.

INFLATION AND EXCHANGE RATES

The Company does not believe that inflation has had a material impact on the
results of its operations.  However, the changing relationships of the U.S.
dollar to the Canadian dollar and Japanese yen have had a material impact from
time to time.

Over the past several years, weakening of the U.S. dollar in relation to the yen
has resulted in higher raw material purchase prices.  The material weakening of
the U.S. dollar in relation to the yen during 1995 has had a material effect on
the Company's

cost of goods sold during the second quarter of 1995. In 1994, approximately 28
percent of the Company's cost of sales was attributable to purchases from
Japanese suppliers.  The Company anticipates that in future periods the
devaluation of the U.S. dollar in relation to the yen will continue to have a
negative impact on cost of goods sold.  However, management believes that such
cost increases also affect its principal competitors in ATVs, and, to varying
degrees, some of its snowmobile and PWC competitors.

The Company operates in Canada through a wholly-owned subsidiary.  Strengthening
of the U.S. dollar in relation to the Canadian dollar has caused unfavorable
foreign currency fluctuations from prior periods resulting in lower gross margin
levels.

In the past, the Company has been a party to, and in the future may enter into,
foreign hedging contracts for both the Japanese yen and the Canadian dollar to
minimize the impact of exchange rate fluctuations within each year.  At June 30,
1995, the Company had certain open contracts to purchase Japanese yen and to
sell Canadian dollars which mature throughout 1995.

In February 1995, the Company entered into an agreement with Fuji Heavy
Industries Ltd. to form Robin Manufacturing U.S.A., Inc. ("Robin").  Under the
terms of the agreement, the Company has a 40 percent ownership interest in
Robin, which will build engines in the United States for recreational and
industrial products.  Potential advantages to the Company of participation in
such venture include reduced foreign exchange risk, lower shipping costs and
less dependence on a single source for engines in the future.  However, such
benefits are not expected to be significant for some time.
