All of these adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto which were included in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings (loss) per share, for each period presented, is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed reflecting the potential dilution that would occur if options or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock at the beginning of the period. Information on earnings per share is as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

7 BRIGGS & STRATTON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income is a more inclusive financial reporting method that includes disclosure of certain financial information that historically has not been recognized in the calculation of net income. Comprehensive income is defined as net income and other changes in shareholders' investment from transactions and other events other than with shareholders. Total comprehensive income (loss) is as follows (in thousands):
Three Months Ended Six Months Ended ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- December 29, December 30, December 29, December 30, 2002 2001 2002 2001 -------------- -------------- -------------- -------------- Net income (loss) $ 11,744 $ 2,379 $ 4,717 $ (15,045) Unrealized gain (loss) on marketable securities (10) 15 (52) (175) Foreign currency translation adjustments 1,728 (875) 1,679 639 Unrealized gain (loss) on derivative instruments 484 (22) 2,037 (1,487) -------------- -------------- -------------- -------------- Total comprehensive income (loss) $ 13,946 $ 1,497 $ 8,381 $ (16,068) ============== ============== ============== ==============
The components of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss as reported on the accompany Balance Sheets are as follows (in thousands):
December 29, June 30, 2002 2002 -------------- -------------- Unrealized loss on marketable securities $ (953) $ (901) Foreign currency translation adjustments (959) (2,638) Unrealized loss on derivative instruments (1,050) (3,087) -------------- -------------- Accumulated other comprehensive loss $ (2,962) $ (6,626) ============== ==============
Derivatives Derivatives are recorded on the balance sheet as assets or liabilities, measured at fair value. Briggs & Stratton enters into derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges to manage its foreign currency exposures. These instruments generally do not have a maturity of more than twelve months. Briggs & Stratton uses interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges to manage its debt portfolio. These instruments generally have maturities and terms consistent with the underlying debt instrument. Changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges are recorded on the income statement or as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The amounts included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) will be reclassified into income when the forecasted transactions occur, generally within the next twelve months. These forecasted transactions represent the exporting of products for which Briggs & Stratton will receive foreign currency and the importing of products for which it will be required to pay in a foreign currency. Changes in the fair value of fair value hedges related to interest rate swaps are recorded as an increase/decrease to long-term debt. Changes in the fair value of all derivatives deemed to be ineffective are recorded as either income or expense in the accompanying income statement. During the quarter there were no material ineffective hedges. 8 BRIGGS & STRATTON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Segment and Geographic Information Briggs & Stratton operates in two reportable business segments, Engines and Power Products, which are managed separately based on fundamental differences in their operations. Summarized segment data is as follows (in thousands):

Long-Lived Assets On July 1, 2002, Briggs & Stratton adopted Financial Accounting Standard No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." The adoption of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144 did not have any material impact on Briggs & Stratton's consolidated financial statements. Accrued Warranty Costs Briggs & Stratton recognizes the cost associated with its standard warranty on engines and power products at the time of sale. The amount recognized is based on historical failure rates and current claim cost experience. The following is a reconciliation of the changes in accrued warranty costs for the reporting period (in thousands): Beginning Balance as of June 30, 2002 $ 46,346 Deduct: Payments (16,697) Add: Provision* 14,437 -------------- Ending Balance December 29, 2002 $ 44,086 ==============
*Approximately $13 million of the provision noted above relates to warranties accrued on current period sales. 9 BRIGGS & STRATTON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES New Accounting Pronouncement In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" ("FIN 45"). FIN 45 requires that the guarantor recognize, at the inception of certain guarantees, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing such guarantee. FIN 45 also requires additional disclosure requirements about the guarantor's obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued. The initial recognition and measurement provisions of this interpretation are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The disclosure requirements of this interpretation are effective for financial statement periods ending December 15, 2002. Briggs & Stratton adopted the disclosure requirements of this interpretation in the current quarter. The adoption of this interpretation did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Future Accounting Pronouncement In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities". SFAS No. 146 nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-03, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (Including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)" and requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. SFAS No. 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. Briggs & Stratton does not expect that the adoption of this statement will have a material impact on its results of operations or financial position. In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure". SFAS No. 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation as originally provided by SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". Additionally, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosure in both the annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The transitional requirements of SFAS No. 148 are effective for all financial statements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. The disclosure requirements are effective for interim periods beginning after December 31, 2002. Briggs & Stratton does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 148 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Critical Accounting Policies There have been no material changes in Briggs & Stratton's critical accounting policies since the September 17, 2002 filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K. As discussed in our annual report, the preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results inevitably will differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the financial statements. 10 BRIGGS & STRATTON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial statements include estimates as to the recovery of accounts receivable, as well as those estimates used in the determination of liabilities related to customer rebates, pension obligations, warranty, product liability, group health insurance and taxation. Various assumptions and other factors underlie the determination of these significant estimates. The process of determining significant estimates is fact specific and takes into account factors such as historical experience, current and expected economic conditions, product mix, and in some instances actuarial techniques. Briggs & Stratton reevaluates these significant factors as facts and circumstances change. Historically, actual results have not differed significantly from our estimates. Financial Information of Subsidiary Guarantor of Indebtedness In June of 1997, Briggs & Stratton Corporation issued $100 million of 7.25% senior notes to finance the purchase of treasury shares. In May 2001, the Company issued $275 million of 8.875% senior notes to fund the acquisition of Generac Portable Products, LLC (effective January 1, 2003, Generac Portable Products, LLC changed their name to Briggs & Stratton Power Products Group, LLC ("BSPP")) and $140 million of 5% convertible senior notes to replace an existing revolving line of credit. In addition, the Company has a $300 million revolving credit facility that expires in September 2004 used to finance seasonal working capital needs. Under the terms of Briggs & Stratton's 8.875% senior notes, 5.00% convertible senior notes and 7.25% senior notes and our revolving credit agreement, (collectively, the Domestic Indebtedness), BSPP became a joint and several guarantor of the Domestic Indebtedness (the "Guarantor"). Additionally, if at any time a domestic subsidiary of Briggs & Stratton constitutes a significant domestic subsidiary, then such domestic subsidiary will also become a guarantor of the Domestic Indebtedness. Currently all of the Domestic Indebtedness is unsecured. In the event that the ratings of certain of our debt are reduced, our Domestic Indebtedness, excluding the convertible notes, will be entitled to participate in a pledge of substantially all of our assets. The Guarantor, at that time, is obligated to pay the outstanding Domestic Indebtedness if Briggs & Stratton Corporation were to fail to make a payment of interest or principal on its due date. As of December 29, 2002, the Company had the following outstanding amounts related to the guaranteed debt (in thousands):
Current Carrying Maximum Amount Guarantee --------- --------- 8.875% Senior Notes, due March 15, 2011.....................................$272,137 $275,000 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes, due May 15, 2006............................$140,000 $140,000 7.25% Senior Notes, due September 15, 2007..................................$ 89,124 $ 90,000 Revolving Credit Facility, expiring September 2004..........................$ 27,360 $300,000

16 BRIGGS & STRATTON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following is management's discussion and analysis of Briggs & Stratton's financial condition and results of operations for the periods included in the accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements: RESULTS OF OPERATIONS SALES Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2003 totaled $353 million, an increase of $19 million or 6% when compared to fiscal 2002. The increase was the result of a $20 million increase in Power Products sales between years. Second quarter net sales for the Engine Segment were $306 million in fiscal 2003 and 2002; reflecting flat engine unit shipments between years. Service component sales were down approximately $7 million due to a change in preseason sales programs, which will result in sales later this year as compared to last year. The strengthening of the Euro and price increases experienced during the quarter offset lower service sales. Second quarter net sales of Power Products were $60 million versus $40 million in the same period a year ago. This increase was driven by generator sales volume associated with hurricane and ice storm activity in the second quarter. Pressure washer unit sales were essentially flat between years. Net sales for the six months ended December 29, 2002 totaled $589 million, an increase of $37 million or 7% compared to the first six months of the prior year. This increase was the result of the $20 million in increased generator sales, an increase in engine unit shipments, a strengthening Euro and price increases, offset by lower service component sales of $8 million. Six-month sales for the Engine Segment were $502 million in fiscal 2003 versus $483 million in the prior year. The increase in sales is attributable to an 8% increase in engine unit sales experienced in the first quarter. Power Products' net sales for the first six months were $113 million compared to $93 million in the prior year. The increase is attributable entirely to the increased generator sales in the second quarter. GROSS PROFIT MARGIN The gross profit margin increased to 19% from 16% in the preceding year's second quarter. This resulted in a higher gross profit of approximately $12 million. This increase is due to $9 million of higher gross margins in the Engine Segment and $3 million of improved gross margin for Power Products. Gross margins in the second quarter for the Engine Segment were adversely affected in the prior year by a $5 million expense charge for an early retirement incentive plan. In addition to the elimination of this charge in fiscal 2003, the second quarter margins improved due to price increases and the impact of the strengthening Euro on international sales. Power Products' gross margin increased to 10% in the current quarter from 7% in the second quarter of fiscal 2002. The increased margin is attributable to a 79% increase in generator production volume in the second quarter due to hurricane and ice storm activity offset by an unfavorable mix of generators sold. The gross profit margin for the six-month period increased to 18% from 13% in the preceding year, resulting in a $31 million higher gross margin. The Engine Segment had a higher gross margin of $28 million and the Power Products Segment had a $3 million increase. 17 BRIGGS & STRATTON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES The six-month increase in the Engine Segment margin is attributable to the 56% increase in production experienced in the first quarter, the elimination of the $5 million charge for the early retirement incentive program in the second quarter, and a strengthening Euro. The increased margin in the Power Products Segment is essentially attributable to increased production volume as discussed above for the second quarter. ENGINEERING, SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES Engineering, selling, general and administrative expenses were $41 million in the second fiscal quarter of 2003 and 2002. This is reflective of a $2 million reduction in pension income and $1 million increase in advertising expense, offset by the elimination of a $3 million charge for an early retirement incentive program taken in the prior year. This category increased $2 million in the comparative six-month periods. The increase is attributable to a reduction in pension income of $3 million and increased advertising and employee benefit costs of $2 million, offset by the elimination of the early retirement charge of $3 million taken in the second quarter of last year. INTEREST EXPENSE Interest expense decreased $1 million in the second quarter and six-month comparisons. The decrease reflects reduced borrowings and the impact of a fixed to variable interest rate swap on $50 million of our 8.875% senior notes due March 15, 2011. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES The effective tax rate used in both the second quarter and six-month periods for the current year was 34%. This is management's estimate of what the rate will be for the entire 2003 fiscal year. Last year's rate was 35% for the second quarter and six-month periods. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Cash used in operating activities for the six-month period of fiscal 2003 was $202 million, an increase of $12 million from fiscal 2002. This reflects an increase in net income of $20 million offset by increased working capital requirements. The increase in working capital requirements was driven by increased inventory levels and a reduction in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The increase was partially offset by changes in receivable balances between fiscal years, attributable to timing. In the six-month period of fiscal 2003, we used $10 million in investing activities, compared to $24 million in fiscal 2002. Additions to plant and equipment comprise substantially all of the investing activity in both years. Lower spending in the first half of the current year is attributable to the timing of capital projects. Net cash provided by financing activities was $17 million in fiscal 2003 and $141 million in fiscal 2002. The decrease is attributable entirely to a reduction in short-term working capital borrowings versus the prior year. FUTURE LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES We have remaining authorization to buy up to 1.8 million shares of our stock in open market or private transactions under the June 2000 Board of Directors' authorization to repurchase up to 2.0 million shares. We did not purchase any shares in the first two quarters of fiscal 2003 and do not anticipate repurchasing any shares in fiscal 2003. 18 BRIGGS & STRATTON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Management expects cash outflows for capital expenditures to total approximately $50-$55 million in fiscal 2003. These anticipated expenditures provide for continued investments in equipment and new products. These expenditures will be funded using available cash and short-term borrowings. In October 2002, we began managing our debt portfolio using interest rate swaps to achieve a desired mix of fixed and floating rates. We currently have interest rate swaps relating to our 8.875% senior notes (approximately $270 million) due in 2011. The swaps convert $50 million of notional amounts from a fixed rate to a floating rate, (libor-set-in-arrears) and mature in 2011. The floating rate on the interest rate swap at December 29, 2002 was 5.75%. Management believes that available cash, cash generated from operations, existing lines of credit and access to debt markets will be adequate to fund our capital requirements for the foreseeable future.
