NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE A--BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
of Arctic Cat Inc. (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with
Regulation S - X pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although
management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading.
In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal
recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of
June 30, 2002, the results of operations for the three month period ended June
30, 2002 and 2001 and cash flows for the three month period ended June 30, 2002
and 2001. Results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of results for the full year.
Preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and related revenues and expenses. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
NOTE B--NET EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Company's basic net earnings per share is computed by dividing net
earnings by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares. The
Company's diluted net earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings
by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares and common share
equivalents relating to stock options, when dilutive. Options to purchase
24,721 and 170,502 shares of common stock with weighted average exercise
prices of $19.74 and $16.69 were outstanding during the three months ended
June 30, 2002 and 2001, all of which were excluded from the computation of
common share equivalents because they were anti-dilutive.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
Arctic Cat Inc. (the "Company") designs, engineers, manufactures and
markets snowmobiles and all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) under the Arctic Cat brand
name, as well as related parts, garments and accessories principally through
its facilities in Thief River Falls, Minnesota. The Company markets its
products through a network of independent dealers located throughout the
contiguous United States and Canada, and through distributors representing
dealers in Alaska, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and other international
markets. The Arctic Cat brand name has existed for more than 30 years and is
among the most widely recognized and respected names in the snowmobile
industry. The Company trades on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol
ACAT.
Results of Operations
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
JUNE 30, 2001.
Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2003 increased 0.6% to
$78,283,000 from $77,821,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 due to a
5.7% or $2,617,000 increase in snowmobile sales and a 37.4% or $2,870,000
increase in parts, garments and accessory sales. These increases were offset
to a certain extent by a 20.7% or $4,975,000 decrease in ATV sales. Snowmobile
unit volume increased 14.9% and ATV unit volume decreased 11.2% for the first
quarter of fiscal 2003 compared to the same quarter last year. Quarter to
quarter sales mix and units shipped is determined primarily by production
cycles for snowmobiles and by production cycles and orders received for ATV
sales. For fiscal 2003 the Company expects snowmobile sales to decline by
approximately 7 to 10 percent but expects this decline to be offset by
increased sales of ATVs and parts, garments and accessories resulting in level
or a modest increase in sales for fiscal year 2003.
Gross profits for the first quarter of fiscal 2003 decreased 0.2% to
$18,843,000 from $18,876,000 for the same quarter in fiscal 2002. The
quarterly gross profit percentage was 24.1% compared to 24.3% for the first
quarter in fiscal 2002.
Operating expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 2003 decreased 2.4%
to $16,325,000 from $16,732,000 for the first quarter of last year. As a
percent of sales, operating expenses were 20.9% for the first quarter of
fiscal 2003 versus 21.5% for the same quarter last year.
Other income for the first quarter of fiscal 2003 decreased 47.9% to
$378,000 from $726,000 for the first quarter of last year resulting from lower
interest income earned on investments due to lower interest rates.
Net earnings for the first quarter of fiscal 2003 increased 0.6% to
$1,969,000 from $1,957,000 for the same quarter last year. Diluted earnings
per share were $0.08 for the first quarter of fiscal 2003 and 2002.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The seasonality of the Company's snowmobile production cycle and the
lead time between the commencement of snowmobile and ATV production in the
early spring and commencement of shipments late in the first quarter have
resulted in significant fluctuations in the Company's working capital
requirements during the year. Historically, the Company has financed its
working capital requirements out of available cash balances at the beginning
and end of the production cycle and with short-term bank borrowings during the
middle of the cycle. The Company's cash balances traditionally peak early in
the fourth quarter and then decrease as working capital requirements increase
when the Company's snowmobile and spring ATV production cycles begin. During
the quarter ended June 30, 2002, the Company repurchased $17,738,000 of common
shares compared to $2,754,000 in the same quarter of the prior year. In
August 2002, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an additional
$20 million of common shares. Cash and short-term investments were $26,421,000
and $32,962,000 at June 30, 2002 and 2001. The Company's investment objectives
are first, safety of principal and second, rate of return.
The Company believes that the cash generated from operations and
available cash will be sufficient to meet its working capital, regular
quarterly dividend, share repurchase program, and capital expenditure
requirements for the short and long-term basis.
Line of Credit
The Company has an unsecured credit agreement with banks for the
issuance of up to $45,000,000 of documentary and stand-by letters of credit and
for working capital and in addition has a $15,000,000 seasonal credit agreement
for the Company's peak production period.
Forward Looking Statements
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe
harbor for certain forward-looking statements. This 10-Q contains forward-
looking statements that reflect the Company's current views with respect to
future events and financial performance. These forward-looking statements are
subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to
differ materially from historical results or those anticipated. The words
"aim," "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate," and other
expressions that indicate future events and trends identify forward-looking
statements. Actual future results and trends may differ materially from
historical results or those anticipated depending on a variety of factors,
including, but not limited to: product mix and volume; competitive pressure on
sales and pricing; increase in material or production cost which cannot be
recouped in product pricing; changes in the sourcing of engines from Suzuki;
warranty expenses; foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations; product
liability claims and other legal proceedings in excess of insured amounts;
environmental and product safety regulatory activity; effects of the weather;
overall economic conditions and consumer demand and confidence.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The Company is subject to certain market risk relating to changes
in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. Information
regarding foreign currency exchange rates is discussed within
"Management's Discussion and Analysis -- Inflation and Exchange Rate"
in the 2002 Annual Report and 10-K and Note G of this Form 10-Q.
Interest rate market risk is managed for cash and short-term
investments by investing in a diversified frequently maturing portfolio
consisting of municipal bonds and money market funds that experience
minimal volatility and is not deemed to be significant.
