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 2. INVENTORIES
The major components of inventories are as follows (in thousands):

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.
-8-
<PAGE>
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.

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.

ITEM 2
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 ("Polaris" or
the "Company"), for the quarters and six-month periods ended June 30, 1997
and 1996. 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 were $249.9 million in the second quarter of 1997, representing a 21
percent decrease from $317.1 million in sales for the same period in 1996.
North American sales of snowmobiles and related PG & A of $87.3 million for
second quarter 1997 were 29 percent lower than $123.6 million for the
comparable period in 1996. The decline in sales is primarily due to the
later start up of snowmobile production in 1997.
North American sales of ATVs and related PG & A of $128.9 million for second
quarter 1997 were 15 percent higher than $111.8 million for the comparable
period in 1996. The increase was attributable to the continued growth in
this product line of the Company.
North American sales of PWC and related PG & A of $23.1 million for the
second quarter 1997 were 67 percent lower than $70.7 million for the
comparable period in 1996. The decline is due to significantly lower planned
production levels of PWC in 1997 to compensate for the increased dealer
inventory remaining from the prior season reflecting the reduction of
industry growth.
International sales of snowmobiles, ATVs, PWC and PG & A of $10.6 million for
the second quarter 1997 were approximately the same as such sales for the
comparable period in 1996 of $11.0 million.
Sales decreased to $474.5 million for the year-to-date period ended June 30,
1997, representing a 20 percent decrease from $595.1 million in sales for the
same period in 1996. Personal watercraft sales which decreased due to the
reduction in production levels contributed most significantly to such
decrease. Snowmobile sales decreased to a lesser extent which reflects a
later start up in production in 1997.
-11-
<PAGE>
Polaris Industries Inc.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of
Operations (cont'd)
Gross profit of $53.9 million in the second quarter of 1997 represents a 15
percent decrease from gross profit of $63.2 million for the same period in
1996. Gross profit of $97.8 million in the year-to-date period ended June 30,
1997 represents a 14 percent decrease in gross profit of $113.9 million for
the same period in 1996. These decreases in gross profit resulted primarily
from the lower sales volume. However, the gross profit margin percentage
increased to 21.6 percent for the second quarter of 1997 from 19.9 percent
for the same period in 1996 and to 20.6 percent for the year-to-date period
ended June 30, 1997, as compared to 19.1 percent for the year-to-date period
in 1996. These increases in gross profit margin percentage are primarily
attributable to a) continued cost reduction efforts, including expanded
domestic engine production, b) a continuing shift in sales mix to higher
margin products, c) reduced warranty costs, and d) decreases in costs of
certain purchased components because of the continued strengthening of the
U.S. dollar in relation to the Japanese yen when compared to the comparable
1996 period.
Operating expenses in the second quarter of 1997 decreased eight percent to
$35.5 million from the comparable 1996 period as a result of lower sales
volume, but as a percentage of sales, increased to 14.2 percent for the
second quarter of 1997 compared to 12.1 percent for the same period in 1996.
Operating expenses in the year-to-date period ended June 30, 1997 decreased
eight percent to $61.7 million from the comparable 1996 period as a result of
lower sales volume, but as a percentage of sales, increased to 13.0 percent
for the six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to 11.3 percent for the same
period in 1996. The percentage increases for the second quarter and
year-to-date periods are due primarily to an increased level of advertising
and promotional costs related to efforts to assist dealers in retailing the
remaining PWC inventory and to a lesser extent, snowmobile inventory in the
first quarter.
The improvement in nonoperating expense (income) in the second quarter and
year-to-date period of 1997 from the comparable periods in 1996 primarily
reflects the positive financial impact of the Company's equity in the income
of Polaris Acceptance which was formed late in the first quarter of 1996, as
well as the positive impact of the Canadian dollar exchange rate hedging
activity.
CASH DIVIDENDS
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.

<PAGE>
Polaris Industries Inc.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of
Operations (cont'd)
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The seasonality of production and shipments causes working capital
requirements to fluctuate during the year. Polaris maintains 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" and the
agreement expires March 31, 2000. At June 30, 1997, Polaris had borrowings
under its bank line of credit arrangement of $47.0 million and cash and cash
equivalents of $5.9 million, compared to $35.0 million in borrowings and cash
and cash equivalents of $5.8 million at December 31, 1996.
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.
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 for, before interest, $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.
Management believes that existing cash balances and bank borrowings, 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, share repurchases, potential outcomes of
litigation matters and capital requirements for 1997.

Polaris Industries Inc.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of
Operations (cont'd)
INFLATION AND EXCHANGE RATES
Polaris does not believe that inflation has had a material impact on the
results of its recent operations. However, the changing relationships of the
U.S. dollar to the Japanese yen and Canadian dollar has 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.
In 1996, purchases totaling 22 percent of Polaris' cost of sales were from
yen-denominated suppliers. 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 strengthening of the U.S. dollar in
relation to the yen over the past 24 months has reversed this trend.
Polaris' cost of sales in the second quarter and year-to-date period ended
June 30, 1997 was favorably impacted by the yen-dollar exchange rate
fluctuation when compared to the comparable periods of 1996. In view of the
foreign exchange hedging contracts currently in place, Polaris anticipates
that the yen-dollar exchange rate will continue to have a favorable impact on
cost of sales during the remainder of 1997 when compared to the same periods
in 1996.
Polaris operates in Canada through a wholly-owned subsidiary. Over the past
several years, strengthening of the U.S. dollar in relation to the Canadian
dollar has resulted in lower gross margin levels on a comparable basis.
However, the fluctuation of the Canadian dollar exchange rate did not have a
significant impact on the gross margin achieved in the second quarter of 1997
or the year-to-date period ended June 30, 1997 when compared to the same
periods in 1996.
In the past, Polaris has been a party to, and in the future may enter into,
foreign exchange 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, 1997, Polaris had open Japanese yen and Canadian dollar foreign
exchange hedging contracts which mature throughout 1997.
Certain matters discussed in this report are "forward-looking statements"
intended to qualify for the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These "forward-looking statements" can
generally be identified as such because the context of the statement will
include words such as the Company or management "believes", "anticipates",
"expects", "estimates" or words of similar import. Similarly, statements
that describe the Company's future plans, objectives or goals are also
forward-looking. Shareholders, potential investors and others are cautioned
that all forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainty that could
cause results to differ materially from those anticipated by some of the
statements made herein. In addition to the factors discussed above, among the
other factors that
-14-

could cause actual results to differ materially are the following: product
offerings and pricing strategies by competitors; future conduct of litigation
and the judicial appeals processes; warranty expenses; foreign currency
exchange rate fluctuations; environmental and product safety regulatory
activity; effects of weather; uninsured product liability claims; and overall
economic conditions, including inflation and consumer confidence and spending.
