                  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

          Polaris has an unsecured bank line of credit arrangement with maximum
          available borrowings of $150.0 million.  Interest is charged at rates
          based on LIBOR or "prime" (6.00% at June 30, 1997) and the agreement
          expires on March 31, 2000, at which time the balance is due.  As of
          June 30, 1997, total borrowings under this credit agreement were $47.0
          million and have been classified as long-term in the accompanying
          consolidated balance sheets.

NOTE 4.   INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES
                    
          In February, 1996 a wholly-owned subsidiary of Polaris entered into a 
                                       -7-

<PAGE>

          partnership agreement with Transamerica Commercial Finance Corporation
          (TCFC) to form Polaris Acceptance.  Polaris Acceptance provides floor
          plan financing to dealer and distributor customers of Polaris, and 
          may in the future provide other financial services to dealers,  
          distributors and retail customers of Polaris.  In January 1997, 
          Polaris exercised its option to increase its equity interest in 
          Polaris Acceptance to 50 percent.  Polaris has guaranteed 50 
          percent of the outstanding indebtedness of Polaris Acceptance under 
          a credit agreement between Polaris Acceptance and TCFC.  At June 30, 
          1997, Polaris'  contingent liability with respect to the guarantee 
          was approximately $122.0 million.

          In February, 1995, Polaris entered into an agreement with Fuji Heavy
          Industries Ltd. to form Robin Manufacturing, U.S.A. ("Robin").  Under
          the agreement, Polaris has a 40 percent ownership interest in Robin,
          which builds engines in the United States for recreational and
          industrial products.

          Investments in affiliates are accounted for under the equity method. 
          Polaris' allocable share of the income of Polaris Acceptance and Robin
          has been included as a component of nonoperating expense (income) in
          the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

          
NOTE 5.   SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

          Polaris has a continuing authorization from its Board of Directors to
          repurchase up to 3,000,000 shares of the Company's outstanding common
          stock.  During the first six months of 1997, Polaris paid $27.3
          million to repurchase and retire 1,033,000 shares of its common stock
          with cash on hand and borrowings under its line of credit.  Polaris
          has 1,446,000 shares available to repurchase under this authorization
          as of June 30, 1997.

          On April 17, 1997, the Polaris Board of Directors declared a regular
          cash dividend of $0.16 per share payable on May 15, 1997, to holders
          of record on April 30, 1997.

          On July 17, 1997, the Polaris Board of Directors declared a regular
          cash dividend of $0.16 per share payable on August 15, 1997, to
          holders of record on August 1, 1997.

NOTE 6.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

          Polaris is subject to product liability claims in the normal course of
          business.  Effective June 1996, Polaris purchased excess insurance
          coverage for catastrophic product liability claims for incidents
          occurring subsequent to the policy date that exceed a self insured
          retention.  The estimated costs resulting from any losses are charged
          to expense when it is probable a loss has been incurred and the amount
          of the loss is reasonably determinable.
                    
          Injection Research Specialists commenced an action in 1990 against
          Polaris in Colorado Federal Court alleging various claims relating to
          electronic fuel injection systems for snowmobiles.  In April 1997, a
          judgment was entered in favor of Injection Research Specialists ,
          before interest, for $24.0 million in compensatory damages and $10.0
          million in punitive damages against Polaris, and $15.0 million in
          compensatory damages and $8.0 million in punitive damages against Fuji
          Heavy Industries, Ltd. ("Fuji"), one of Polaris' sources of supply of
          engines.  The judgment against Fuji was subsequently reduced on post
          trial motions to $11.6 million in compensatory damages and no punitive
          damages.  Polaris has appealed the judgment against Polaris and has
          been advised that Fuji intends to appeal the judgment against it.  As
          a result of this process, the Company may record additional reserves
          associated with this litigation on its financial statements.

          In addition to the aforementioned matter, Polaris is a defendant in
          lawsuits and subject to claims arising in the normal course of
          business.  In the opinion of management, these legal proceedings
          pending against or involving Polaris will not have a material adverse
          effect on Polaris' financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 7.   FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS
                    
          The Company enters into foreign exchange contracts to hedge certain of
          its purchase commitments denominated in foreign currencies and
          transfers of funds from its Canadian subsidiary; market value gains
          and losses are recognized at the time of purchase or transfer of
          funds, respectively.  The purpose of the Company's foreign exchange
          contracts is to reduce the risk that the eventual dollar cash flows
          resulting from the purchase commitments and transfers of funds from
          its Canadian subsidiary will be adversely affected by changes in
          exchange rates.  At June 30, 1997, the Company had open Japanese yen
          foreign exchange contracts with notional amounts totaling $37.2
          million United States dollars, and open Canadian dollar foreign
          exchange contracts with notional amounts totaling $58.4 million United
          States dollars which mature throughout 1997.

                                       -9-

NOTE 8.   NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS


          In March 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
          Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per
          Share", (SFAS128), which changes the way companies calculate their
          earnings per share (EPS).  SFAS 128 replaces primary EPS with basic
          EPS.  Basic EPS is computed by dividing reported earnings by weighted
          average shares outstanding, excluding potentially dilutive securities.
          Fully diluted EPS, termed diluted EPS under SFAS 128, is also to be
          disclosed.  Polaris is required to adopt SFAS 128 in the first quarter
          of 1998 at which time all prior year EPS are to be restated in
          accordance with SFAS 128.
