NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Harley-Davidson, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the Company), including the accounts of the groups of companies doing business as Harley-Davidson Motor Company (HDMC), Buell Motorcycle Company (Buell) and Harley-Davidson Financial Services (HDFS). In addition, certain variable interest entities (VIEs) related to secured financing are consolidated as the Company is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany accounts and material transactions are eliminated.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 26, 2010 and September 27, 2009, the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine month periods then ended and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine month periods then ended.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial reporting. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

The Company operates in two business segments: Motorcycles & Related Products (Motorcycles) and Financial Services (Financial Services).

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

During 2008, the Company acquired Italian motorcycle manufacturer MV Agusta (MV) and the results of MV were included in the Motorcycles segment. On October 15, 2009, the Company announced its intent to divest MV. The Motorcycles segment financial information has been adjusted to reflect MV as a discontinued operation for all periods presented. On August 6, 2010, the Company concluded the sale of MV to a company controlled by the former owner of MV.

2. New Accounting Standards

Accounting Standards Recently Adopted

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140.” SFAS No. 166 amended the guidance within Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 860, “Transfers and Servicing,” primarily by removing the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity as well as removing the exception from applying FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.” Upon the effective adoption date, formerly qualifying special purpose entities (QSPEs) as defined under prior U.S. GAAP had to be evaluated for consolidation within an entity’s financial statements. Additionally, the guidance within ASC Topic 860 requires enhanced disclosures about the transfer of financial assets as well as an entity’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. In connection with term asset-backed securitization transactions prior to 2009, HDFS utilized QSPEs as defined under prior U.S. GAAP which were not subject to consolidation in the Company’s financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R).” SFAS No. 167 amended the guidance within ASC Topic 810, “Consolidations,” by adding formerly off-balance sheet QSPEs to its scope (the concept of these entities was eliminated by SFAS No. 166). In addition, companies must perform an analysis to determine whether the company’s variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity (VIE). Companies must also reassess on an ongoing basis whether they are the primary beneficiary of a VIE.

6

Effects of Adoption on January 1, 2010

The Company was required to adopt the new guidance within ASC Topic 810 and ASC Topic 860 as of January 1, 2010. The Company determined that the formerly unconsolidated QSPEs that HDFS utilized were VIEs, of which the Company was the primary beneficiary, and consolidated them into the Company’s financial statements beginning January 1, 2010. In accordance with ASC Topic 810, the Company measured the initial carrying values of the assets and liabilities of the VIEs by determining what those values would have been on January 1, 2010 as if the new guidance had been in effect when the Company first met the conditions as the primary beneficiary. The Company’s VIEs are discussed in further detail in Note 7.

The initial adoption of the new accounting guidance within ASC Topic 810 and ASC Topic 860 did not impact the Company’s statement of operations. The following table summarizes the effects on the Company’s balance sheet of adopting the new guidance within ASC Topic 810 and ASC Topic 860 on January 1, 2010 (in thousands):

	As of December 31, 2009			Effect of consolidation			As of January 1, 2010
Finance receivables held for investment(1)	$	4,961,894		$	1,922,833		$	6,884,727
Allowance for finance credit losses(1)	$	(150,082	)	$	(49,424	)	$	(199,506	)
Investment in retained securitization interests(1)	$	245,350		$	(245,350	)	$	—
Restricted cash held by variable interest entities(2)	$	—		$	198,874		$	198,874
Other current assets(2)	$	462,106		$	40,224		$	502,330
Accrued liabilities	$	(514,084	)	$	(11,952	)	$	(526,036	)
Long-term debt	$	(5,446,130	)	$	(1,892,313	)	$	(7,338,443	)
Retained earnings	$	(6,324,268	)	$	40,591		$	(6,283,677	)
Accumulated other comprehensive loss	$	417,898		$	(3,483	)	$	414,415

(1) These three lines items were reported together as finance receivables held for investment, net prior to January 1, 2010.

(2) At December 31, 2009, the Company had $167.7 million of restricted cash related to its 2009 on-balance sheet term-asset backed securitization transactions and its asset-backed commercial paper conduit facility. These amounts were reported within Other current assets as of December 31, 2009.

Financial Statement Comparability to Prior Periods

The new accounting guidance within ASC Topic 810 and ASC Topic 860 is adopted on a prospective basis. Prior periods have not been restated and therefore will not be comparable to the current period as discussed below.

Under the new accounting guidance, the Company’s securitization transactions are considered secured borrowings rather than asset sales. Beginning in 2010, the Company recognizes interest income and credit losses on the previously unconsolidated securitized receivables and interest expense on the related debt. The Company’s statement of operations no longer includes income from securitizations which consisted of an initial gain or loss on new securitization transactions, income on the investment in retained securitization interests and servicer fees. In addition, the Company no longer incurs charges related to other-than-temporary impairments on its investment in retained securitization interests as that asset has been derecognized.

Finance receivables consolidated as part of the adoption of the new accounting guidance, as well as finance receivables securitized as part of the Company’s 2009 on-balance sheet securitization transactions and finance receivables restricted as collateral under the Company’s asset-backed commercial paper conduit facility, are reported on the Company’s balance sheet as restricted finance receivables held for investment by VIEs. Prior to the adoption of the new accounting guidance, finance receivables held by VIEs were included in finance receivables held for investment. In addition, finance receivable securitization debt is now reported as debt held by VIEs.

7

Historically, U.S. retail motorcycle finance receivables intended for securitization through off-balance sheet securitization transactions were initially classified as finance receivables held for sale. Accordingly, all of the related cash flows were classified as operating cash flows in the statement of cash flows. After the adoption of the new guidance within ASC Topic 810 and ASC Topic 860, all retail finance receivables are considered held for investment, as the Company has the intent and ability to hold the finance receivables for the foreseeable future, or until maturity. The adoption guidance within ASC Topic 810 and ASC Topic 860 requires the Company to apply the standards on a prospective basis as if they had always been in effect. Therefore, the Company has classified post-January 1, 2010 cash flows related to all of its retail motorcycle finance receivables as investing cash flows in the statement of cash flows.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In July 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-20, “Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses.” ASU No. 2010-20 amends the guidance with ASC Topic 310, “Receivables” to facilitate financial statement users’ evaluation of (1) the nature of credit risk inherent in the entity’s portfolio of financing receivables; (2) how that risk is analyzed and assessed in arriving at the allowance for credit losses; and (3) the changes and reasons for those changes in the allowance for credit losses. The amendments in ASU No. 2010-20 also require an entity to provide additional disclosures such as a rollforward schedule of the allowance for credit losses on a portfolio segment basis, credit quality indicators of financing receivables and the aging of past due financing receivables. The Company is required to adopt ASU No. 2010-20 as of December 15, 2010 and is currently evaluating the impact the new disclosure requirements will have on its financials statements and notes.

3. Additional Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Information

As part of the January 1, 2010 adoption of the new accounting guidance within ASC Topic 810 and ASC Topic 860, the Company established an initial $49.4 million allowance for credit losses related to the previously unconsolidated securitized finance receivables. The initial allowance was recorded through the adoption adjustment to retained earnings.

4. MV Divestiture

In October 2009, the Company unveiled a new business strategy to drive growth through a focus of efforts and resources on the unique strengths of the Harley-Davidson brand and to enhance productivity and profitability through continuous improvement. The Company’s Board of Directors approved and the Company committed to the divestiture of MV as part of this strategy. The Company engaged a third party investment bank to assist with the marketing and sale of MV. As a result, MV is presented as a discontinued operation for all periods presented.

10

On August 6, 2010, the Company concluded its sale of MV to MV Augusta Motor Holding S.r.l., a company controlled by the former owner of MV. Under the agreement relating to the sale, (1) the Company received nominal consideration in return for the transfer of MV and related assets; (2) the parties waived their respective rights under the stock purchase agreement and other documents related to the Company’s purchase of MV in 2008, which included a waiver of the former owner’s right to contingent earn-out consideration; and (3) the Company contributed 20.0 million Euros to MV as operating capital. The Company incurred an immaterial loss on the sale, which is included in loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, during the three and nine months ended September 26, 2010.

The following table summarizes the net revenue, pre-tax loss, net loss and loss per common share from discontinued operations for the periods noted (in thousands, except per share amounts):

	Three months ended						Nine months ended
	September 26, 2010			September 27, 2009			September 26, 2010			September 27, 2009
Revenue	$	3,983		$	12,810		$	48,563		$	42,940
Loss before income taxes	$	(5,645	)	$	(29,891	)	$	(131,034	)	$	(54,214	)
Net loss	$	(4,888	)	$	(29,898	)	$	(108,434	)	$	(54,231	)
Loss per common share	$	(0.02	)	$	(0.13	)	$	(0.46	)	$	(0.23	)

During the first nine months of 2010, the Company incurred a $131.0 million pre-tax loss from discontinued operations, or $108.4 million net of tax. Included in the first nine months of 2010 operating loss were impairment charges of $111.8 million, or $90.2 million net of tax, which represented the excess of net book value of the held-for-sale assets over the fair value less selling costs. The impairment charges consisted of $32.3 million accounts receivable valuation allowance; $25.2 million inventory valuation allowance; $26.9 million fixed asset impairment; $15.8 million intangible asset impairment; $2.6 million other asset valuation allowance; and $9.0 million of currency translation adjustment. During the three and nine months ended September 27, 2009, the Company incurred an $18.9 million goodwill impairment charge.

As of August 6, 2010, assets of discontinued operations that were sold consisted of $0.6 million of accounts receivable, net; $3.6 million of inventories; and $14.3 million of other assets. As of August 6, 2010, liabilities of discontinued operations that were sold consisted $41.7 million of accounts payable and accrued liabilities and $16.6 million of other liabilities.

5. Restructuring Expense and Other Impairments

2010 Restructuring Plan

In September 2010, the Company’s unionized employees at its facilities in Milwaukee and Tomahawk, Wisconsin ratified three separate new seven-year labor agreements which take effect in April 2012 when the current contracts expire. The new contracts are similar to the labor agreement ratified at the Company’s York, Pennsylvania facility in December 2009 and allow for similar flexibility and increased production efficiency. Once the new contracts are implemented, the production system in Wisconsin, like York, will include the addition of a “casual” workforce component.

After taking actions to implement the new ratified labor agreements (2010 Restructuring Plan), the Company expects to have about 700 full-time hourly unionized employees in its Milwaukee facilities when the contracts are implemented in 2012, about 250 fewer than would be required under the existing contract. In Tomahawk, the Company expects to have a full-time hourly unionized workforce of about 200 when the contract is implemented, about 75 fewer than would be required under the current contract.

Under the 2010 Restructuring Plan, restructuring expenses consist of employee severance and termination costs and other related costs. The Company expects to incur approximately $85 million in restructuring expenses related to the new contracts through 2012, of which approximately 35% are expected to be non-cash. During the third quarter of 2010, the Company recorded a $40.7 million restructuring charge related to the 2010 Restructuring Plan.

11

The following table summarizes the Company’s 2010 Restructuring Plan reserve recorded in accrued liabilities as of September 26, 2010 (in thousands):

	Motorcycles & Related Products
	Employee Severance and Termination Costs			Other			Total
Restructuring expense	$	40,662		$	5		$	40,667
Utilized - cash		(2,141	)		(5	)		(2,146	)
Utilized - noncash		(28,171	)		—			(28,171	)
Balance September 26, 2010	$	10,350		$	—		$	10,350

For the three months ended September 26, 2010, restructuring expense included $28.2 million of noncash curtailment losses related to the Company’s pension and postretirement healthcare plans that cover employees of the affected facilities in Milwaukee and Tomahawk, Wisconsin.

2009 Restructuring Plan

During 2009, in response to the U.S. economic recession and worldwide slowdown in consumer demand, the Company committed to a volume reduction and a combination of restructuring actions (2009 Restructuring Plan) in the Motorcycles and Financial Services segments which are expected to be completed by 2012. The 2009 Restructuring Plan was designed to reduce administrative costs, eliminate excess capacity and exit non-core business operations. The Company’s planned actions include:

• consolidating its two engine and transmission plants in the Milwaukee area into its facility in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin;

• closing its distribution facility in Franklin, Wisconsin and consolidating Parts and Accessories and General Merchandise distribution through a third party;

• discontinuing the domestic transportation fleet;

• consolidating its vehicle test facilities from three locations in Alabama, Arizona and Florida into one location in Arizona;

• restructuring its York, Pennsylvania motorcycle production facility to focus on the core operations of motorcycle assembly, metal fabrication and paint; and

• exiting the Buell product line. The Company ceased production of Buell motorcycles at the end of October 2009 and the sale of remaining Buell motorcycle inventory to independent dealers and/or distributors is expected to be completed during 2010.

The 2009 Restructuring Plan included a reduction of approximately 2,700 to 2,900 hourly production positions and approximately 720 non-production, primarily salaried positions within the Motorcycles segment and approximately 100 salaried positions in the Financial Services segment. These headcount reductions began in 2009 and are expected to be completed during 2011.

Under the 2009 Restructuring Plan, restructuring expenses consist of employee severance and termination costs, accelerated depreciation on the long-lived assets that will be exited as part of the 2009 Restructuring Plan and other related costs. The Company expects total costs related to the 2009 Restructuring Plan to result in restructuring and impairment expenses of approximately $420 million to $450 million from 2009 to 2012 (compared to previous expected total costs of approximately $430 million to $460 million), of which approximately 30% are expected to be non-cash. On a cumulative basis, the Company has incurred $329.4 million of restructuring and impairment expense under the 2009 Restructuring Plan as of September 26, 2010, of which $105.2 million was incurred during the first nine months of 2010. Approximately 2,500 employees have left the Company under the 2009 Restructuring Plan as of September 26, 2010.

Other restructuring costs under the 2009 Restructuring Plan include items such as the exit costs for terminating supply contracts, lease termination costs and moving costs.

6. Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition cost over the fair value of the net assets purchased. Goodwill is tested for impairment, based on financial data related to the reporting unit to which it has been assigned, at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The impairment test involves comparing the estimated fair value of the reporting unit associated with the goodwill to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value goodwill must be adjusted to its implied fair value.

As a result of the Company’s lower shipment volume projections and the decrease in operating performance at HDFS during 2009 due to significant write-downs of its loan portfolio and investment in retained securitization interests, the Company performed an impairment test of the goodwill balance associated with HDFS as of June 28, 2009. The results of the impairment test indicated the current fair value of HDFS had declined below its carrying value and as such the Company recorded an impairment charge of $28.4 million during the second quarter of 2009. The impairment charge represented the Company’s total goodwill balance associated with the Financial Services segment.

7. Asset-Backed Financing

HDFS participates in asset-backed financing through both term asset-backed securitization transactions and its asset-backed commercial paper conduit facility. In both types of asset-backed financing programs, HDFS transfers U.S. retail motorcycle finance receivables to a consolidated special purpose entity (SPE) while retaining the servicing rights. Each SPE then converts those assets into cash, through the issuance of debt. These SPEs are considered VIEs under U.S. GAAP. HDFS is required to consolidate any VIEs in which it is deemed to be the primary beneficiary through having power over the significant activities of the entity and having an obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE which are potentially significant to the VIE.

HDFS is considered to have the power over the significant activities of its term asset-backed securitization and asset-backed commercial paper conduit facility VIEs due to its role as servicer. Servicing fees are typically not considered potentially significant variable interests in a VIE. However, HDFS retains a residual interest in the VIEs in the form of a debt security, which gives HDFS the right to receive benefits that could be potentially significant to the VIE. Therefore, the Company is the primary beneficiary and consolidates all of its VIEs within its consolidated financial statements. Servicing fees paid by VIEs to HDFS are eliminated in consolidation and therefore no longer recorded on a consolidated basis.

HDFS is not required, and does not currently intend, to provide any additional financial support to its VIEs. Investors and creditors only have recourse to the assets held by the VIEs.

13

The Company’s VIEs have been aggregated on the balance sheet due to the similarity of the nature of the assets involved as well as the purpose and design of the VIEs.

Term Asset-Backed Securitization VIEs

The Company transfers U.S. retail motorcycle finance receivables to SPEs which in turn issue secured notes to investors, with various maturities and interest rates, secured by future collections of the purchased U.S. retail motorcycle finance receivables. Each term asset-backed securitization SPE is a separate legal entity and the U.S. retail motorcycle finance receivables included in the term asset-backed securitizations are only available for payment of the secured debt and other obligations arising from the term asset-backed securitization transactions and are not available to pay other obligations or claims of the Company’s creditors until the associated secured debt and other obligations are satisfied. Cash and cash equivalent balances held by the SPEs are used only to support the securitizations. There are no amortization schedules for the secured notes; however, the debt is reduced monthly as available collections on the related U.S. retail motorcycle finance receivables are applied to outstanding principal. The secured notes’ contractual lives have various maturities ranging from 2010 to 2017.

At September 26, 2010, the assets of the consolidated term asset-backed securitization SPEs totaled $3.37 billion and were primarily included in restricted finance receivables held by VIEs, net and restricted cash held by variable interest entities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. At September 26, 2010, the SPEs held U.S. retail motorcycle finance receivables of $3.07 billion restricted as collateral for the payment of $2.53 billion of obligations under the secured notes. The SPEs also held $285.7 million of cash restricted for payment on the secured notes at September 26, 2010.

At September 27, 2009, the assets of the consolidated term asset-backed securitization SPE totaled $1.49 billion and were primarily included in other current assets and finance receivables held for investment in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. At September 27, 2009, the SPE held U.S. retail motorcycle finance receivables of $1.39 billion restricted as collateral for the payment of $1.09 billion of obligations under the secured notes. The SPE also held $89.5 million of cash restricted for payment on the secured notes at September 27, 2009.

Asset-Backed Commercial Paper Conduit Facility VIE

On September 10, 2010, the Company amended and restated its third-party bank sponsored asset-backed commercial paper conduit facility which provides for a total aggregate commitment of up to $600.0 million based on, among other things, the amount of eligible U.S. retail motorcycle loans held by the SPE as collateral. The assets of the SPE are restricted as collateral for the payment of the debt or other obligations arising in the transaction and are not available to pay other obligations or claims of the Company’s creditors. The terms for this debt provide for interest on the outstanding principal based on prevailing commercial paper rates, or LIBOR plus a specified margin to the extent the advance is not funded by a conduit lender through the issuance of commercial paper. The conduit facility also provides for an unused commitment fee based on the unused portion of the total aggregate commitment of $600.0 million. There is no amortization schedule; however, the debt is reduced monthly as available collections on the related finance receivables are applied to outstanding principal. Upon expiration of the conduit facility, any outstanding principal will continue to be reduced monthly through available collections. Unless earlier terminated or extended by mutual agreement of HDFS and the lenders, the conduit facility has an expiration date of September 9, 2011.

At September 26, 2010, HDFS had no borrowings outstanding under the conduit facility. The SPE held $33.1 million of finance receivables and $1.9 million of cash collections restricted as collateral for the payment of fees associated with the unused portion of the total aggregate commitment of $600.0 million. The assets of the SPE totaled $36.9 million at September 26, 2010, and were primarily included in restricted finance receivables held by VIEs, net and restricted cash held by VIEs in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

At September 27, 2009, the SPE held finance receivables of $759.2 million restricted as collateral for the payment of the $570.1 million short-term asset-backed conduit facility debt, which was included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The SPE also held $38.0 million of cash collections from the finance receivables held by the SPE restricted for payment on the outstanding debt at September 27, 2009. The assets of the SPE totaled $818.1 million at September 27, 2009 and were primarily included in finance receivables held for investment, net and other current assets in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

8. Off-Balance Sheet Finance Receivable Securitizations

During 2009, the Company entered into term asset-backed securitization transactions that did not satisfy the requirements for accounting sale treatment under prior U.S. GAAP. As such, the 2009 term asset-backed securitization transactions were accounted for as secured financings and the related assets and liabilities were consolidated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The following disclosures apply to the Company’s term asset-backed securitization activities prior to 2009, when pre-2009 term asset-backed securitization transactions utilized off-balance sheet QSPEs that qualified for accounting sale treatment under prior U.S. GAAP. As discussed in Note 2, the Company adopted new accounting guidance within ASC Topic 810 and ASC Topic 860 as of January 1, 2010 that ultimately required the Company to consolidate these formerly off-balance sheet QSPEs.

Prior to 2009, HDFS sold U.S. retail motorcycle finance receivables to securitization trusts through off-balance sheet term asset-backed securitization transactions. The securitization trust issued notes to investors, with various maturities and interest rates, secured by future collections of purchased retail loans. The proceeds from the issuance of the term asset-backed securities were utilized by the securitization trust to purchase U.S. retail motorcycle loans from HDFS.

Upon sale of the U.S. retail motorcycle loans to the securitization trust, HDFS received cash, recorded a gain or loss on the transaction and also retained an interest in excess cash flows, subordinated securities, and the right to receive cash reserve account deposits in the future, collectively referred to as “investment in retained securitization interests.” The investment in retained securitization interests was included with finance receivables held for investment, net in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In conjunction with prior year sales, the Company had investments in retained securitization interests of $265.1 million at September 27, 2009.

The interest in excess cash flows reflected the expected cash flows arising from U.S. retail motorcycle loans sold to the securitization trust less expected servicing fees, credit losses and contracted payment obligations owed to securitization trust investors.

Reserve account deposits represented interest-earning cash deposits which collateralized the trust securities. The funds were not available for use by HDFS until the reserve account balances exceeded thresholds specified in the securitization agreements.

HDFS retained servicing rights on the U.S. retail motorcycle loans that it sold to the securitization trust and received annual servicing fees approximating 1% of the outstanding securitized retail loans. HDFS serviced $2.19 billion of U.S. retail motorcycle loans securitized in off-balance sheet term asset-backed securitization transactions as of September 27, 2009. The servicing fee paid to HDFS was considered adequate compensation for the services provided and was included in financial services revenue as earned. HDFS earned $32.3 million from contractually specified servicing fees, late fees, and ancillary fees during the first nine months of 2009. These fees were recorded in financial services revenue.

Gains or losses on off-balance sheet term asset-backed securitizations from the sale of U.S. retail motorcycle loans were recognized in the period in which the sale occurred. The amount of the gain or loss depended on the proceeds received and the original carrying amount of the transferred U.S. retail motorcycle loans, allocated between the assets sold and the retained interests based on their relative fair values at the date of transfer.

Activities of the securitization trust were limited to acquiring U.S. retail motorcycle loans, issuing term asset-backed securities, making payments on securities to investors and other activities permissible under prior U.S. GAAP. Securitization trusts had a limited life and generally terminated upon final distribution of amounts owed to the investors in the term asset-backed securities. Historically, the lives of securitization trusts that purchased U.S. retail motorcycle loans from HDFS approximated four years.

15

HDFS did not guarantee payments on the securities issued by the securitization trusts or the projected cash flows from the U.S. retail motorcycle loans purchased from HDFS. The Company’s retained securitization interests, excluding servicing rights, were subordinate to the interests of securitization trust investors. Such investors had priority interests in the cash collections on the retail loans sold to the securitization trust (after payment of servicing fees) and in the cash reserve account deposits. Investors also did not have recourse to the assets of HDFS for failure of the obligors on the retail loans to pay when due.

The investment in retained securitization interests was measured in the same manner as an investment in debt securities that is classified as available-for-sale as defined by ASC Topic 320, “Investments – Debt and Equity Securities.” As such, the investment in retained securitization interests was recorded at fair value and periodically reviewed for impairment. Market quotes of fair value were generally not available for retained interests; therefore, HDFS estimated fair value based on the present value of future expected cash flows using HDFS’ best estimates of key assumptions for credit losses, prepayments and discount rates that, in management’s judgment, reflected the assumptions marketplace participants would use. If the fair value of the investment in retained securitization interests is less than the amortized cost, an unrealized loss exists which indicates that the investment is other-than-temporarily impaired.

On March 30, 2009, the Company adopted new guidance codified within ASC Topic 320 regarding the recognition and presentation of other-than-temporary impairments. In accordance with this guidance, if management has no intent to sell the other-than-temporarily impaired investment and it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell, only the credit loss component of the impairment is recognized in earnings, while the rest of the impairment is recognized as an unrealized loss in other comprehensive income. The credit loss component recognized in earnings is identified as the amount of cash flows not expected to be received over the remaining life of the investment as projected using assumptions for credit losses, prepayments and discounts rates as discussed below. Upon adoption, the Company recorded an increase to the opening balance of retained earnings of $22.5 million ($14.4 million, net of tax) and a decrease to accumulated other comprehensive income of $22.5 million ($14.4 million, net of tax) to reclassify the non-credit component of $52.2 million of previously recognized impairments on its investment in retained securitization interests. The credit component of previously recognized impairments on its investment in retained securitization interests was $29.7 million. The fair value of the investment in retained securitization interests did not change.

During the three months ended September 27, 2009 and during the six months from the date of adoption to September 27, 2009, the Company recorded other-than-temporary impairments related to its investment in retained securitization interests. The impairments were due to higher actual and anticipated credit losses partially offset by a slowing in actual and expected prepayment speeds on certain securitization portfolios. As prescribed by the new guidance within ASC Topic 320, the Company recognized the credit component of the other-than-temporary impairment in earnings and the non-credit component in other comprehensive income as the Company did not intend to sell the investment and it was more likely than not that the Company would not be required to sell it prior to recovery of its cost basis. The components of the impairment were as follows (in thousands):

	Three months ended September 27, 2009		Six months ended September 27, 2009
Total other-than-temporary impairment losses	$	438	$	14,106
Portion of loss reclassified from other comprehensive income		2,972		4,338
Net impairment losses recognized in earnings	$	3,410	$	18,444

16

The following activity only applied to other-than-temporary impairments on investment in retained securitization interests for which a component of the impairment was recognized in earnings and a component was recognized in other comprehensive income. The total credit component of other-than-temporary impairments recognized in earnings for all investment in retained securitization interests held as of September 27, 2009 was as follows (in thousands):

	Three months ended September 27, 2009			Six months ended September 27, 2009
Balance, beginning of period	$	44,329		$	29,686
Credit component recognized in earnings during the period		3,410			18,444
Reductions due to sale/repurchase(1)		(563	)		(954	)
Balance, end of period	$	47,176		$	47,176

(1) The Company exercised its 10% clean up call repurchase option for certain securitization trusts.

Prior to March 30, 2009, if an impairment existed and management deemed it to be other-than-temporary, the entire impairment was recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. During the three months ended March 29, 2009, the Company recorded an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $17.1 million related to its investment in retained securitization interests which included both the credit and non-credit components.

The following table summarizes the amortized cost, fair value and gross unrealized gains and losses of the investment in retained securitization interests (in thousands):

	September 27, 2009
	Total Investment in Retained Securitization Interests			Investment in Retained Securitization Interests Currently in a Loss Position for less than 12 Months			Investment in Retained Securitization Interests Currently in a Loss Position for more than 12 Months			Investment in Retained Securitization Interests Currently in a Gain Position
Amortized cost	$	275,916		$	207,491		$	53,072		$	15,353
Gross unrealized gains		274			—			—			274
Gross unrealized losses		(11,091	)		(9,101	)		(1,990	)		—
Fair value	$	265,099		$	198,390		$	51,082		$	15,627

The unrealized loss position was primarily due to a difference between the discount rate used to calculate fair value at September 27, 2009 and the initial rate used to value the retained securitization interests at their inception. The discount rate used in the third quarter of 2009 to calculate fair value was 16%. A discount rate of 12% was used to calculate the portion of unrealized gain/loss on the securitization and the initial value of the investment in retained securitization interests.

The investment in retained securitization interests had no stated contractual maturity date. Historically, the investment in retained securitization interests had a life of approximately four years.

As of September 27, 2009, the following weighted-average key assumptions were used to value the investment in retained securitization interests:

Prepayment speed (Single Monthly Mortality)	1.71	%
Weighted-average life (in years)	2.08
Expected cumulative net credit losses	5.45	%
Residual cash flows discount rate	15.82	%

Expected cumulative net credit losses were a key assumption in the valuation of the investment in retained securitization interests. As of September 27, 2009, weighted-average expected net credit losses for all active securitizations were 5.45%. The table below summarizes, as of September 27, 2009, expected weighted-average cumulative net credit losses by year of securitization, expressed as a percentage of the original balance of loans securitized for all securitizations completed during the years noted:

	Loans securitized in
Expected weighted-average cumulative net credit losses (%) as of :	2009		2008			2007			2006			2005
September 27, 2009		—		5.50	%		5.78	%		5.13	%		4.86	%

The sensitivity of the fair value to immediate 10% and 20% adverse changes in the weighted-average key assumptions for the investment in retained securitization interests at September 27, 2009 was as follows (dollars in thousands):

Carrying amount/fair value of retained interests	$	265,099
Weighted-average life (in years)		2.08
Prepayment speed assumption (monthly rate)		1.71	%
Impact on fair value of 10% adverse change	$	(2,863	)
Impact on fair value of 20% adverse change	$	(5,652	)
Expected cumulative net credit losses		5.45	%
Impact on fair value of 10% adverse change	$	(34,477	)
Impact on fair value of 20% adverse change	$	(68,467	)
Residual cash flows discount rate (annual)		15.82	%
Impact on fair value of 10% adverse change	$	(5,526	)
Impact on fair value of 20% adverse change	$	(10,871	)

These sensitivities are hypothetical and should not be considered to be predictive of future performance. Changes in fair value generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of change in assumption to change in fair value may not be linear. Also, in this table, the effect of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the retained interest is calculated independently from any change in another assumption. In reality, changes in one factor may contribute to changes in another, which may magnify or counteract the sensitivities. Furthermore, the estimated fair values as disclosed should not be considered indicative of future earnings on these assets.

The following table provides information regarding certain cash flows received from and paid to all motorcycle loan securitization trusts during the nine months ended September 27, 2009 (in thousands):

Proceeds from new securitizations	$	—
Servicing fees received	$	21,320
Other cash flows received on retained interests	$	56,978
10% clean-up call repurchase option	$	100,317

Prior to the adoption of the new accounting guidance discussed in Note 2, managed retail motorcycle loans consisted of all retail motorcycle installment loans serviced by HDFS including those held by off-balance sheet securitization trusts and those held by HDFS. As of September 27, 2009, managed retail motorcycle loans totaled $5.88 billion, of which $2.19 billion were securitized in off-balance sheet term asset-backed securitization transactions. The principal amount of managed retail motorcycle loans 30 days or more past due was $302.3 million at September 27, 2009. The principal amount of securitized retail motorcycle loans 30 days or more past due was $157.4 million at September 27, 2009. Managed loans 30 days or more past due exclude loans reclassified as repossessed inventory. Credit losses, net of recoveries, of the managed retail motorcycle loans were $119.0 million during the first nine months of 2009 which included securitized retail motorcycle loan credit losses, net of recoveries, of $60.2 million.

9. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, trade receivables, finance receivables, net, trade payables, debt, foreign currency contracts and interest rate swaps (derivative instruments are discussed further in Note 11). Under U.S. GAAP, certain of these items are required to be recorded in the financial statements at fair value, while others are required to be recorded at historical cost.

18

The following table summarizes the fair value and carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments at September 26, 2010 (in thousands):

	September 26, 2010				September 27, 2009
	Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value
Assets:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	1,494,301	$	1,494,301	$	1,518,799	$	1,518,799
Marketable securities	$	55,229	$	55,229	$	—	$	—
Accounts receivable, net	$	306,085	$	306,085	$	304,410	$	304,410

Finance receivables, net	$	6,236,095	$	6,210,511	$	4,885,118	$	4,913,052
Investment in retained securitization interests	$	—	$	—	$	265,099	$	265,099
Restricted cash held by variable interest entities	$	287,613	$	287,613	$	127,462	$	127,462
Liabilities:
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities	$	914,727	$	914,727	$	869,011	$	869,011
Derivatives	$	19,924	$	19,924	$	28,132	$	28,132
Unsecured commercial paper	$	697,481	$	697,481	$	899,971	$	899,971
Asset-backed commercial paper conduit facility	$	—	$	—	$	570,132	$	570,132
Credit facilities	$	207,234	$	207,234	$	400,939	$	400,939
Medium-term notes	$	2,256,711	$	2,099,092	$	1,567,270	$	1,605,464
Senior unsecured notes	$	804,735	$	600,000	$	770,253	$	600,000
Finance receivable securitization debt	$	2,596,730	$	2,533,370	$	1,109,375	$	1,093,650

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, Accounts Receivable, Net and Accounts Payable – With the exception of certain money-market investments, these items are recorded in the financial statements at historical cost. The historical cost basis for these amounts is estimated to approximate their respective fair values due to the short maturity of these instruments.

Marketable Securities – Marketable securities are recorded in the financial statements at fair value. The fair value of marketable securities is based primarily on quoted market prices. Changes in fair value are recorded, net of tax, as other comprehensive income and included as a component of shareholders’ equity.

Finance Receivables, Net – Finance receivables, net includes finance receivables held for investment, net and restricted finance receivables held by VIEs, net. Retail and wholesale finance receivables are recorded in the financial statements at historical cost less an allowance for finance credit losses. The fair value of retail finance receivables is generally calculated by discounting future cash flows using an estimated discount rate that reflects current credit, interest rate and prepayment risks associated with similar types of instruments. The historical cost basis of wholesale finance receivables approximates fair value because they either are short-term or have interest rates that adjust with changes in market interest rates.

Debt – Debt is generally recorded in the financial statements at historical cost. The carrying value of debt provided under credit facilities approximates fair value since the interest rates charged under the facilities are tied directly to market rates and fluctuate as market rates change. The carrying value of unsecured commercial paper approximates fair value due to its short maturity. The carrying value of debt provided under the asset-backed commercial paper conduit facility approximates the fair value since the interest rates charged on the outstanding portion are tied directly to market rates and fluctuate as market rates change.

The fair values of the Company’s medium-term notes maturing in December 2012, December 2014 and June 2018 are estimated based upon rates currently available for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. The medium-term notes maturing in December 2010 are carried at fair value and include a fair value adjustment due to the interest rate swap agreement, designated as a fair value hedge, which effectively converts a portion of the note from a fixed to a floating rate.

The fair value of the Company’s senior unsecured notes is estimated based upon rates currently available for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.

19

The fair value of the debt related to finance receivable securitization transactions is estimated based on pricing currently available for transactions with similar terms and maturities.

10. Fair Value Measurements

Certain assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value in the financial statements; some of these are measured on a recurring basis while others are measured on a non-recurring basis. Assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value each time a financial statement is prepared. Assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value when a significant event occurs. In determining fair value of assets and liabilities, the Company uses various valuation techniques. The availability of inputs observable in the market varies from instrument to instrument and depends on a variety of factors including the type of instrument, whether the instrument is actively traded, and other characteristics particular to the transaction. For many financial instruments, pricing inputs are readily observable in the market, the valuation methodology used is widely accepted by market participants, and the valuation does not require significant management discretion. For other financial instruments, pricing inputs are less observable in the market and may require management judgment.

The Company assesses the inputs used to measure fair value using a three-tier hierarchy. The hierarchy indicates the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. Level 1 inputs include quoted prices for identical instruments and are the most observable. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and observable inputs such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity rates and yield curves. Level 3 inputs are not observable in the market and include management’s judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The use of observable and unobservable inputs is reflected in the hierarchy assessment disclosed in the following tables.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The following tables present information about the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 26, 2010 and September 27, 2009 (in thousands):

The investment in retained securitization interests was valued using discounted cash flow methodologies incorporating assumptions that, in management’s judgment, reflect assumptions marketplace participants would use at September 27, 2009. The following table presents additional information about the investment in retained securitization interests which was measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) (in thousands):

	Three months ended September 27, 2009			Nine months ended September 27, 2009
Balance, beginning of period	$	276,227		$	330,674
Realized gains (losses) included in financial services income(a)		2,607			(9,205	)
Unrealized gains included in other comprehensive income(b)		11,221			15,845
Sales, repurchases and settlements, net		(24,956	)		(72,215	)
Balance, end of period	$	265,099		$	265,099

(a) As discussed in Note 7, realized gains (losses) included in financial services income includes an impairment charge of $3.4 and $35.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2009, respectively.

(b) During the three and nine months ended September 27, 2009, $3.0 million and $4.3 million of net unrealized losses were reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into financial services income.

As discussed in Note 2, upon adoption of the new guidance within ASC Topic 810 and ASC Topic 860, the Company derecognized its investment in retained securitization interests on January 1, 2010. The carrying value of the investment in retained securitization interests that was derecognized on that date was $245.4 million.

11. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company is exposed to certain risks such as foreign currency exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and commodity price risk. To reduce its exposure to such risks, the Company selectively uses derivative financial instruments. All derivative transactions are authorized and executed pursuant to regularly reviewed policies and procedures, which prohibit the use of financial instruments for speculative trading purposes.

All derivative instruments are recognized on the balance sheet at fair value (see Note 9). In accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” the accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and, further, on the type of hedging relationship. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated as fair value hedges, along with the gain or loss on the hedged item, are recorded in current period earnings. For derivative instruments that are designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of gains and losses that result from changes in the fair value of derivative instruments is initially recorded in other comprehensive income (OCI) and subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged item affects income. The Company assesses, both at the inception of each hedge and on an on-going basis, whether the derivatives that are used in its hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged items. Any ineffective portion is immediately recognized in earnings. No component of a hedging derivative instrument’s gain or loss is excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. Derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting are recorded at fair value and any changes in fair value are recorded in current period earnings.

21

The Company sells its products internationally and in most markets those sales are made in the foreign country’s local currency. As a result, the Company’s earnings can be affected by fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currency. The Company’s most significant foreign currency risk relates to the Euro, the Australian dollar and the Japanese yen. The Company utilizes foreign currency contracts to mitigate the effects of these currencies’ fluctuations on earnings. The foreign currency contracts are entered into with banks and allow the Company to exchange a specified amount of foreign currency for U.S. dollars at a future date, based on a fixed exchange rate.

The Company utilizes natural gas contracts to hedge portions of the cost of natural gas consumed in the Company’s motorcycle production operations.

The Company’s earnings are affected by changes in interest rates. HDFS utilizes interest rate swaps to reduce the impact of fluctuations in interest rates on its unsecured commercial paper by converting a portion from a floating rate basis to a fixed rate basis. Similarly, HDFS utilizes interest rate swaps with its medium-term notes; however, the impact is to convert from a fixed rate basis to a floating rate basis. HDFS also entered into derivative contracts to facilitate its first quarter 2008 term asset-backed securitization transaction as well as its third quarter 2007 term asset-backed securitization transaction. These derivatives, which hedge assets held by VIEs, do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. Additionally, to facilitate the asset-backed commercial paper conduit facility agreement that the Company entered into in April 2009, HDFS entered into derivative contracts, certain of which do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment.

The Company is exposed to credit loss risk in the event of non-performance by counterparties to these derivative financial instruments. Although no assurances can be given, the Company does not expect any of the counterparties to these derivative financial instruments to fail to meet its obligations. To manage credit loss risk, the Company selects counterparties based on credit ratings and, on a quarterly basis, evaluates each hedge’s net position relative to the counterparty’s ability to cover its position.

13. Income Taxes

During the first quarter of 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was signed into law. As a result of this Act, reimbursements the Company receives under Medicare Part D coverage for providing retiree prescription drug benefits would no longer be tax free beginning in 2011. At the beginning of second quarter of 2010, the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 delayed the impact of this change to 2013. On April 14, 2010, the SEC staff announced that the Office of the Chief Accountant would not object to a view that the two Acts should be considered together for accounting purposes. The Company accounted for both Acts in the first quarter of 2010 and recorded income tax expense of $13.3 million associated with this change which affected the Company’s first quarter 2010 income tax rate.

The Company’s second quarter 2010 income tax rate was affected by the favorable conclusion of an Internal Revenue Service audit during the second quarter of 2010 and, in connection with the audit settlement, an adjustment to income taxes payable.

The Company’s third quarter 2010 income tax rate was favorably affected by a domestic manufacturing benefit.

During the first quarter of 2009, an unanticipated change in Wisconsin tax law resulted in the Company establishing a valuation allowance of $22.5 million related to net operating loss carryforwards with a corresponding charge to income tax expense.

During the second quarter of 2009, the Company incurred a $28.4 million non-deductible goodwill impairment.

14. Product Warranty and Safety Recall Campaigns

The Company currently provides a standard two-year limited warranty on all new motorcycles sold worldwide, except for Japan, where the Company currently provides a standard three-year limited warranty on all new motorcycles sold. The warranty coverage for the retail customer includes parts and labor and generally begins when the motorcycle is sold to a retail customer. The Company maintains reserves for future warranty claims using an estimated cost per unit sold, which is based primarily on historical Company claim information. Additionally, the Company has from time to time initiated certain voluntary safety recall campaigns. The Company reserves for all estimated costs associated with safety recalls in the period that the safety recalls are announced.

25

Changes in the Company’s warranty and safety recall liability were as follows (in thousands):

	Three months ended						Nine months ended
	September 26, 2010			September 27, 2009			September 26, 2010			September 27, 2009
Balance, beginning of period	$	62,569		$	60,935		$	68,044		$	64,543

Balance, end of period	$	56,454		$	53,409		$	56,454		$	53,409

The liability for safety recall campaigns was $2.2 million and $2.6 million as of September 26, 2010 and September 27, 2009, respectively.

15. Earnings Per Share

The Company has a share-based compensation plan under which employees may be granted share-based awards including shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units (RSUs). Non-forfeitable dividends are paid on unvested shares of restricted stock and non-forfeitable dividend equivalents are paid on unvested RSUs. As such, shares of restricted stock and RSUs are considered participating securities under the two-class method of calculating earnings per share as described in ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share.” The two-class method of calculating earnings per share did not have a material impact on the Company’s earnings per share calculation as of September 26, 2010 and September 27, 2009.

The following table sets forth the computation for basic and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations (in thousands, except per share amounts):

	Three months ended				Nine months ended
	September 26, 2010		September 27, 2009		September 26, 2010		September 27, 2009
Numerator:
Income from continuing operations used in computing basic and diluted earnings per share	$	93,717	$	56,381	$	301,745	$	217,811
Denominator:
Denominator for basic earnings per share-weighted-average common shares		233,504		232,677		233,232		232,527
Effect of dilutive securities - employee stock compensation plan		1,282		1,198		1,395		830
Denominator for diluted earnings per share-adjusted weighted-average shares outstanding		234,786		233,875		234,627		233,357
Earnings per common share from continuing operations:
Basic	$	0.40	$	0.24	$	1.29	$	0.94
Diluted	$	0.40	$	0.24	$	1.29	$	0.93

Outstanding options to purchase 4.1 million and 4.6 million shares of common stock for the three months ended September 26, 2010 and September 27, 2009, respectively, and 4.2 million and 5.2 million shares of common stock for the nine months ended September 26, 2010 and September 27, 2009, respectively, were not included in the Company’s computation of dilutive securities because the exercise price was greater than the market price and therefore the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

16. Employee Benefit Plans

The Company has several defined benefit pension plans and several postretirement healthcare benefit plans, which cover substantially all employees of the Motorcycles segment. The Company also has unfunded supplemental employee retirement plan agreements (SERPA) with certain employees which were instituted to replace benefits lost under the Tax Revenue Reconciliation Act of 1993. Components of net periodic benefit costs were as follows (in thousands):

	Three months ended						Nine months ended
	September 26, 2010			September 27, 2009			September 26, 2010			September 27, 2009

As disclosed in Note 5, the Company recorded restructuring expense of $145.8 million related to its Motorcycles segment during the first nine months of 2010. The restructuring action resulted in a pension and postretirement healthcare plan net curtailment loss of $27.1 million, which is included in the $145.8 million restructuring expense, and a net increase to equity of $27.1 million, or $17.1 million net of tax, which is included in other comprehensive income, during the first nine months of 2010. The net curtailment loss of $27.1 million consists of a $28.2 million curtailment loss related to the 2010 Restructuring Plan and a $1.1 million curtailment gain related to the 2009 Restructuring Plan. The net curtailment loss also resulted in a pension plan remeasurement using a discount rate of 5.0% and a postretirement healthcare plan remeasurement using a discount rate of 4.6%. At December 31, 2009, the discount rates used to measure the pension plans and the postretirement healthcare plans were 6.0% and 5.65%, respectively. All other significant assumptions remain unchanged from the December 31, 2009 measurement date. As a result of the remeasurements, the Company recognized a funded status adjustment consisting of a $112.1 million increase to its pension and postretirement healthcare liabilities and a decrease to other comprehensive income of $112.1 million, or $70.6 million net of tax. During the first nine months of 2009, the Company recorded restructuring expense of $50.0 million, which included a pension and postretirement healthcare plan curtailment loss of $4.5 million, and an increase to equity of $13.3 million.

27

During the first nine months of 2010, the Company incurred a $3.1 million settlement loss related to its SERPA plans compared to a settlement loss of $0.4 million during the first nine months of 2009. The settlement losses were the result of benefit payments made to former executives who departed from the Company during 2009 and 2010.

The Company is currently evaluating a contribution during the fourth quarter of 2010 to further fund its pension plans.

17. Business Segments

The Company operates in two business segments: Motorcycles and Financial Services. The Company’s reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. They are managed separately based on the fundamental differences in their operations. Selected segment information is set forth below (in thousands):

	Three months ended					Nine months ended
	September 26, 2010		September 27, 2009			September 26, 2010		September 27, 2009
Motorcycles net revenue	$	1,087,115	$	1,108,465		$	3,259,551	$	3,522,631
Gross profit		379,806		370,134			1,156,337		1,231,375

Operating income (loss) from Financial Services		50,868		(31,544	)		138,395		(110,845	)
Operating income	$	152,370	$	99,109		$	523,911	$	425,014

As discussed in Note 2, Financial Services operating income for the three and nine months ended September 26, 2010 includes the effects of consolidating formerly unconsolidated QSPEs.

As discussed in Note 8, operating income from Financial Services for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2009 includes an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $3.4 million and $35.6 million, respectively, related to the investment in retained securitization interests.

Financial Services operating income for the nine months ended September 27, 2009 includes a $72.7 million charge related to increased provision for credit losses resulting from the one-time reclassification of finance receivables held for sale to finance receivables held for investment.

18. Commitment and Contingencies

The Company is subject to lawsuits and other claims related to environmental, product and other matters. In determining required reserves related to these items, the Company carefully analyzes cases and considers the likelihood of adverse judgments or outcomes, as well as the potential range of possible loss. The required reserves are monitored on an ongoing basis and are updated based on new developments or new information in each matter.

Environmental Protection Agency Notice

The Company has received formal, written requests for information from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regarding: (i) certificates of conformity for motorcycle emissions and related designations and labels, (ii) aftermarket parts, and (iii) warranty claims on emissions related components. The Company has submitted written responses to the EPA’s inquiry and has engaged in discussions with the EPA. It is possible that a result of the EPA’s investigation will be some form of enforcement action by the EPA that will seek a fine or other relief. However, at this time the Company does not know and cannot reasonably estimate the impact of any remedies the EPA might seek.

Shareholder Lawsuits:

In re Harley-Davidson, Inc. Securities Litigation was a consolidated shareholder securities class action lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin. On October 2, 2006, the Lead Plaintiffs filed a Consolidated Class Action Complaint, which named the Company and certain former Company officers as defendants, that alleged securities law violations and sought unspecified damages relating generally to the Company’s April 13, 2005 announcement that it was reducing short-term production growth and planned increases of motorcycle shipments. In 2006, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Consolidated Complaint. On October 8, 2009, the judge granted defendants’ motion to dismiss, and the clerk of court entered judgment dismissing the consolidated lawsuit. No appeal was taken from the final judgment and the dismissal of the case became final. Subsequently, on March 18, 2010, a group of individuals who appear to be inmates in a federal correctional institution filed a motion to intervene which was immediately dismissed by the District Court because judgment had already been entered. On April 5, 2010, two of the individuals filed notices of appeal of the dismissal. On May 27, 2010, the Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit dismissed the appeals for failure to pay the required docketing fees. The dismissal of the action again became final.

In 2005, three shareholder derivative lawsuits were filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin (one of which was later voluntarily dismissed), and two shareholder derivative lawsuits were filed in Milwaukee County Circuit Court on July 22, 2005 and November 16, 2005, against some or all of the following current or former directors and officers of the Company: Jeffrey L. Bleustein, James L. Ziemer, James M. Brostowitz, Barry K. Allen, Richard I. Beattie, George H. Conrades, Judson C. Green, Donald A. James, Sara L. Levinson, George L. Miles, Jr., James A. Norling, James A. McCaslin, Donna F. Zarcone, Jon R. Flickinger, Gail A. Lione, Ronald M. Hutchinson, W. Kenneth Sutton, Jr. and John A. Hevey. The lawsuits also name the Company as a nominal defendant. In general, the shareholder derivative complaints include factual allegations similar to those in the class action complaints and allege that officers and directors breached their fiduciary duties to the Company. In 2006, the state court consolidated the two state court derivative actions and appointed Lead Plaintiffs and Lead Plaintiffs’ counsel, and the state court ordered that the consolidated state court derivative action be stayed until after motions to dismiss the federal securities class action were decided.

On November 24, 2009, both federal court derivative plaintiffs moved to voluntarily dismiss their lawsuits and all claims without prejudice. On November 30, 2009, the federal court entered orders granting the motions and dismissing the federal court derivative lawsuits without prejudice, and those cases are now closed. Lead plaintiffs in the consolidated state court derivative action filed an amended complaint on February 22, 2010 and defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint in its entirety on April 26, 2010. The motion has been fully briefed, and the court is scheduled to hear arguments on the motion on November 18, 2010.

The Company believes the allegations in the state court derivative lawsuit are without merit and it intends to vigorously defend against the suit. The Company is unable to predict the scope or outcome or quantify their eventual impact, if any, on the Company. At this time, the Company is also unable to estimate associated expenses or possible losses. The Company maintains insurance that may limit its financial exposure for defense costs and liability for an unfavorable outcome, should it not prevail, for claims covered by the insurance coverage.

York Environmental Matters:

The Company is involved with government agencies and groups of potentially responsible parties in various environmental matters, including a matter involving the cleanup of soil and groundwater contamination at its York, Pennsylvania facility. The York facility was formerly used by the U.S. Navy and AMF prior to the purchase of the York facility by the Company from AMF in 1981. Although the Company is not certain as to the full extent of the environmental contamination at the York facility, it has been working with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) since 1986 in undertaking environmental investigation and remediation activities, including an ongoing site-wide remedial investigation/feasibility study (RI/FS). In January 1995, the Company entered into a settlement agreement (the Agreement) with the Navy. The Agreement calls for the Navy and the Company to contribute amounts into a trust equal to 53% and 47%, respectively, of future costs associated with environmental investigation and remediation activities at the York facility (Response Costs). The trust administers the payment of the Response Costs incurred at the York facility as covered by the Agreement.

29

In February 2002, the Company was advised by the EPA that it considers some of the Company’s remediation activities at the York facility to be subject to the EPA’s corrective action program under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and offered the Company the option of addressing corrective action under a RCRA facility lead agreement. In July 2005, the York facility was designated as the first site in Pennsylvania to be addressed under the “One Cleanup Program.” The program provides a more streamlined and efficient oversight of voluntary remediation by both PADEP and EPA and will be carried out consistent with the Agreement with the Navy. As a result, the RCRA facility lead agreement has been superseded.

Although the RI/FS is still underway and substantial uncertainty exists concerning the nature and scope of the additional environmental investigation and remediation that will ultimately be required at the York facility, the Company estimates that its share of the future Response Costs at the York facility will be approximately $5.9 million. The Company has established reserves for this amount, which are included in accrued liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The estimate of the Company’s future Response Costs that will be incurred at the York facility is based on reports of independent environmental consultants retained by the Company, the actual costs incurred to date and the estimated costs to complete the necessary investigation and remediation activities. Response Costs related to the remediation of soil are expected to be incurred over a period of several years ending in 2015. Response Costs related to ground water remediation may continue for some time beyond 2015.

Product Liability Matters:

Additionally, the Company is involved in product liability suits related to the operation of its business. The Company accrues for claim exposures that are probable of occurrence and can be reasonably estimated. The Company also maintains insurance coverage for product liability exposures. The Company believes that its accruals and insurance coverage are adequate and that product liability will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

19. Supplemental Consolidating Data

The supplemental consolidating data for the periods noted is presented for informational purposes. The supplemental consolidating data may be different than segment information presented elsewhere due to the allocation of intercompany eliminations to reporting segments. All supplemental data is presented in thousands.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Harley-Davidson, Inc. is the parent company for the groups of companies doing business as Harley-Davidson Motor Company (HDMC), Harley-Davidson Financial Services (HDFS) and Buell Motorcycle Company (Buell). HDMC produces heavyweight cruiser and touring motorcycles. HDMC manufactures five families of motorcycles: Touring, Dyna^®, Softail^®, Sportster^® and VRSC. HDFS provides wholesale and retail financing and insurance programs primarily to Harley-Davidson and Buell dealers and customers.

The Company operates in two business segments: Motorcycles & Related Products (Motorcycles) and Financial Services (Financial Services). The Company’s reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. They are managed separately based on the fundamental differences in their operations.

The “% Change” figures included in the “Results of Operations” section were calculated using unrounded dollar amounts and may differ from calculations using the rounded dollar amounts presented.

Overview

Overall, third-quarter 2010 income from continuing operations was $93.7 million, or $0.40 per share, compared to $56.4 million and $0.24 per share in the same period last year. The Company’s operating income was $152.4 million for the third quarter of 2010, up $53.3 million over prior year driven by higher operating income from Financial Services. Operating income for the Financial Services segment improved by $82.4 million during the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009 on higher net interest income and a lower provision for credit losses. Operating income from motorcycles and related products was down $29.2 million in the third quarter of 2010 driven by higher selling, general and administrative expenses and restructuring expenses.

Retail sales of the Company’s Harley-Davidson motorcycles continue to be affected by the difficult economic environment. Worldwide retail sales of new Harley-Davidson motorcycles declined 7.7% in the third quarter of 2010 compared to last year’s third quarter. The rates of decline in retail sales for the preceding five quarters were 30.1%, 21.3%, 21.4%, 18.2% and 5.5% for the quarters ended June 2009, September 2009, December 2009, March 2010 and June 2010, respectively.

Outlook⁽¹⁾

On October 19, 2010, the Company narrowed its Harley-Davidson motorcycle wholesale shipment guidance for 2010 to 207,000 to 212,000 units from 201,000 to 212,000 units and announced its expectation to ship 41,000 to 46,000 Harley-Davidson motorcycles in the fourth quarter of 2010.

On October 19, 2010, the Company reiterated its expectation for gross margin to be between 32.5% and 34.0% for the full year of 2010. Gross margin for the first nine months of 2010 was 35.5%, which was up slightly compared to prior year and exceeds the Company’s full year expectations. The Company expects gross margin in

The Company also announced on October 19, 2010 that it expects its 2010 full year effective income tax rate to be approximately 34.0% for continuing operations, down from its previous expectation of approximately 36.0%. The Company also refined its guidance for capital expenditures, which are now expected to be $190 million to $210 million for 2010, compared to prior guidance of $235 million to $255 million. Capital expenditure guidance for 2010 includes $75 million to $90 million to support restructuring activities, a revision from prior guidance of $95 million to $110 million for restructuring activities in 2010. The Company anticipates it will have the ability to fund all capital expenditures in 2010 with internally generated funds.

Restructuring Activities⁽¹⁾

2010 Restructuring Plan

In September 2010, the Company’s unionized employees in Wisconsin ratified three separate new seven-year labor agreements which take effect in April 2012 when the current contracts expire. The new contracts are similar to the labor agreement ratified at the Company’s York, Pennsylvania facility late last year and allow for similar flexibility and increased production efficiency. Once the new contracts are implemented, the production system in Wisconsin, like York, will include the addition of a “casual” workforce component.

Based on the new ratified labor agreements, the Company expects to have about 700 full-time hourly unionized employees in its Milwaukee-area facilities when the contracts are implemented in 2012, about 250 fewer than would be required under the existing contract. In Tomahawk, the Company expects to have a full-time hourly unionized workforce of about 200 when the contract is implemented, about 75 fewer than would be required under the current contract.

2009 Restructuring Plan

During 2009, in response to the U.S. economic recession and worldwide slowdown in consumer demand, the Company committed to a volume reduction and a combination of restructuring actions that are expected to be completed in 2012. The actions were designed to reduce administrative costs, eliminate excess capacity and exit non-core business operations. The Company’s significant planned actions, which the Company believes are generally proceeding on schedule, include:

• consolidating its two engine and transmission plants in the Milwaukee area into its facility in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin;

• closing its distribution facility in Franklin, Wisconsin and consolidating Parts and Accessories and General Merchandise distribution through a third party;

• discontinuing the domestic transportation fleet;

• consolidating its vehicle test facilities from three locations in Alabama, Arizona and Florida into one location in Arizona;

• restructuring its York, Pennsylvania motorcycle production facility to focus on the core operations of motorcycle assembly, metal fabrication and paint; and

• exiting the Buell product line. The Company ceased production of Buell motorcycles at the end of October 2009 and the sale of remaining Buell motorcycle inventory to independent dealers and/or distributors is expected to be completed during 2010.

The 2009 restructuring plans include a reduction of approximately 2,700 to 2,900 hourly production positions and approximately 720 non-production, primarily salaried positions within the Motorcycles segment and approximately 100 salaried positions in the Financial Services segment. These headcount reductions began in 2009 and are expected to be completed during 2011.

Restructuring Costs and Savings

During the first nine months of 2010, the Company incurred $145.8 million in restructuring and impairment expense related to 2010 and 2009 restructuring plan activities. This is in addition to $224.3 million in restructuring and impairment expense incurred in 2009. The Company expects total costs for 2010 and 2009

40

restructuring plan activities to result in one-time restructuring and impairment expenses of $505 million to $535 million from 2009 through 2012 of which approximately 30% are expected to be non-cash. In 2010, the Company expects to incur restructuring expenses of $190 million to $210 million. The Company anticipates annual ongoing total savings from restructuring of approximately $290 million to $310 million upon completion of all announced restructuring activities. In the near-term, the Company has realized or estimates that it will realize savings from these restructuring activities, measured against 2008 spending, as follows:

• 2009 - $91 million (91% operating expense and 9% cost of sales);

• 2010 - $150 million to $165 million (65-75% operating expense and 25-35% cost of sales);

• 2011 - $210 million to $230 million (45-55% operating expense and 45-55% cost of sales);

• 2012 - $275 million to $295 million (35-45% operating expense and 55-65% cost of sales); and

• Ongoing annually upon completion - $290 million to $310 million (30-40% operating expense and 60-70% cost of sales).

Discontinued Operations

On August 6, 2010, the Company concluded the sale of MV Agusta to a company controlled by the former owner of MV Agusta. During the first nine months of 2010, the Company incurred a loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, of $108.4 million, comprised of operating losses and impairment charges. The loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, was $4.9 million during the third quarter of 2010.

Operating income for the Motorcycles segment during the third quarter of 2010 was adversely impacted by higher selling, general and administrative expenses and restructuring expenses. Operating income for the Financial Services segment improved by $82.4 million during the third quarter of 2010 due to favorable net interest income and improved credit performance in the retail motorcycle loan portfolio. The favorable net interest income was primarily due to the increase in on-balance sheet finance receivables and a lower cost of funds. The lower cost of funds was due in part to HDFS’ repayment in the fourth quarter of 2009 of amounts related to the Company’s $600.0 million senior unsecured notes issued in February 2009.

41

Interest expense for the third quarter of 2010 includes $22.5 million related to the Company’s $600.0 million senior unsecured notes issued in February 2009. Prior to the end of the first quarter of 2009, the Company transferred the full proceeds from the issuance of the notes to HDFS to fund HDFS’ operations. As HDFS diversified its debt structure through a combination of actions during 2009, its funding profile improved. During the fourth quarter of 2009, HDFS transferred the full proceeds back to the Company. As a result, interest expense for 2009 includes interest on the notes only during the periods when the full proceeds were held at the Company. Interest expense for the periods during which the proceeds were held by HDFS is included in financial services interest expense.

The effective income tax rate for the third quarter of 2010 was 28.2% compared to 43.1% for the third quarter of 2009. The third quarter 2010 effective income tax rate was favorably impacted by a domestic manufacturing benefit.

Motorcycles & Related Products Segment

Harley-Davidson Motorcycle Retail Sales

Worldwide independent dealer retail sales of Harley-Davidson motorcycles decreased 7.7% during the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009. Retail sales results continue to be impacted on a global basis by difficult economic conditions. Retail sales of Harley-Davidson motorcycles decreased 9.4% in the United States and 3.6% internationally in the quarter. On an industry-wide basis, the heavyweight (651+cc) portion of the market was down 14.4% in the United States for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and up 0.3% in Europe for the three months ended August 31, 2010 when compared to the same periods in 2009. The following table includes retail unit sales of Harley-Davidson motorcycles:

The Company shipped 53,293 Harley-Davidson motorcycles worldwide during the third quarter of 2010, which was 1.7% lower than the third quarter of 2009. The third quarter 2010 shipment volume was in line with Company expectations and resulted in approximately 18,000 fewer new Harley-Davidson motorcycle units in U.S. dealer inventory at the end of the third quarter of 2010 compared to the end of the third quarter of 2009. The Company announced on October 19, 2010 that it anticipates shipping between 41,000 to 46,000 Harley-Davidson motorcycle units in the fourth quarter of 2010.⁽¹⁾ The Company expects Sportster mix in the fourth quarter of 2010 to be higher than the fourth quarter of 2009 mix of 12.9% and to be within the historical range of 18% to 22% for the full year 2010. ⁽¹⁾

• Foreign currency exchange rate changes, primarily due to a weakening Euro during the third quarter of 2010 relative to the third quarter 2009, resulted in a negative impact on net revenue. Gains and losses associated with the revaluation of foreign-denominated assets and liabilities and foreign

45

currency hedging (included in cost of goods sold) were also favorable when compared to the same period last year and more than offset the negative impact of revenue resulting in an overall positive impact on gross margins.

• Product mix benefited net revenue and gross profit primarily from product mix changes within the Company’s motorcycle families.

• Manufacturing costs increased partially as the result of a higher fixed cost per unit due to allocating fixed costs to fewer units. Higher manufacturing costs were also the result of increasing product cost associated with new models and increased product content, such as new features and options on the Company’s motorcycles. Finally, manufacturing costs were also higher due to inefficiencies associated with the Company’s restructuring activities at its York, Pennsylvania facility as non-core operations are outsourced. These increased costs were partially offset by productivity gains.

The net increase in operating expense was primarily due to the Company’s previously announced restructuring activities, increased expense associated with the Company’s variable incentive compensation programs and increased international spending partially offset by ongoing cost reduction initiatives. During the third quarter of 2010, the Company accrued for a potential payout of variable incentive compensation programs. The Company was accruing for a potential payout of variable incentive compensation programs during the first half of 2009; however, the Company reversed those accruals during the third quarter of 2009 when the Company determined the planned targets would not be met. For further information regarding the Company’s previously announced restructuring activities, refer to Note 5 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

On January 1, 2010, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (codified within ASC Topic 860), and SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (codified in ASC Topic 810). As a result of the adoption of the new accounting guidance, the Company consolidated the assets and liabilities of its formerly unconsolidated QSPEs on January 1, 2010. Beginning on January 1, 2010, the Company began recognizing interest income and credit losses on the previously unconsolidated securitized receivables and interest expense on the related debt within its statements of operations. The Company’s statement of operations no longer includes income from securitizations including the initial gain or loss previously recorded on off-balance

46

sheet securitizations, income on the investment in retained securitization interests and servicer fees. In addition, the Company no longer incurs charges related to other-than-temporary impairments on its investment in retained securitization interests as that asset has been derecognized.

Interest income for the three months ended September 26, 2010 benefited primarily from higher average retail finance receivables, which was driven by the consolidation of formerly off-balance sheet QSPEs. Interest expense was lower due to more favorable cost of funds, partially offset by increased borrowings related to the newly consolidated securitization trusts.

There was no income or loss from securitizations during the third quarter of 2010 due to the elimination of the investment in retained securitization interests. During the third quarter of 2009, HDFS recorded $6.0 million of income from the investment in retained securitization interests. Partially offsetting the income from the investment in retained securitization interests was a $3.4 million other-than-temporary impairment of certain retained securitization interests due to higher actual and anticipated credit losses partially offset by a slowing in actual and expected prepayment speeds.

Other income decreased during the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009 primarily due to no servicer fee income. As a result of the consolidation of the formerly off-balance sheet securitization trusts, the Company no longer records servicer fee income from servicing off-balance sheet finance receivables. During the third quarter of 2009, the Company earned $5.9 million of servicer fee income.

The provision for credit losses related to retail and wholesale receivables decreased by $23.3 million and $6.9 million, respectively, in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009. During the third quarter of 2009, the Company increased the retail reserve by approximately $28 million to reflect a higher expected incidence of loss and lower expected recovery values on repossessed motorcycles. The year over year decrease was partially offset by provision requirements for increased on-balance sheet receivables during the third quarter of 2010. The decrease in the provision for wholesale credit losses is primarily due to a net increase of approximately $5 million in reserves during the third quarter of 2009. In addition, wholesale finance receivables outstanding are lower compared to the third quarter of 2009.

Changes in the allowance for finance credit losses on finance receivables held for investment, including finance receivables held by variable interest entities (VIEs), were as follows (in thousands):

	Three months ended
	September 26, 2010			September 27, 2009
Balance, beginning of period	$	182,983		$	114,335
Provision for finance credit losses		28,049			56,445
Charge-offs, net of recoveries		(29,047	)		(21,863	)
Balance, end of period	$	181,985		$	148,917

At September 26, 2010, the allowance for finance credit losses on finance receivables held for investment was $171.1 million for retail receivables, which includes $96.8 million related to finance receivables held by VIEs, and $10.9 million for wholesale receivables. See Note 7 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the Company’s VIEs. The allowance for finance credit losses on finance receivables held for investment was $128.8 million for retail receivables and $20.1 million for wholesale receivables at September 27, 2009.

HDFS’ periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for finance credit losses on finance receivables held for investment is generally based on HDFS’ past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, current economic conditions and the estimated value of any underlying collateral.

Motorcycles operating income fell 28.1% during the first nine months of 2010 driven by a decrease in shipments of Harley-Davidson motorcycles and restructuring charges. Operating income for the Financial Services segment improved by $249.2 million during the first nine months of 2010 primarily due to favorable net interest income, improved credit performance in the retail motorcycle loan portfolio and two non-recurring, non-cash charges totaling $101.1 million that were incurred during the first nine months of 2009. The favorable net interest income was primarily due to the increase in on-balance sheet finance receivables and a lower cost of funds. The lower cost of funds was due in part to HDFS’ repayment in the fourth quarter of 2009 of amounts related to the Company’s $600.0 million senior unsecured notes issued in February 2009.

Interest expense for the first nine months of 2010 includes $67.5 million related to the Company’s senior unsecured notes, compared to $8.0 million in the first nine months of 2009. Prior to the end of the first quarter of 2009, the Company transferred the full proceeds from the issuance of the notes to HDFS to fund HDFS’ operations. As HDFS diversified its debt structure through a combination of actions during 2009, its funding profile improved. During the fourth quarter of 2009, HDFS transferred the full proceeds back to the Company. As a result, interest expense for 2009 includes interest on the notes only during the periods when the full proceeds were held at the Company. Interest expense for the periods during which the proceeds were held by HDFS is included in financial services interest expense.

The effective income tax rate for the first nine months of 2010 was 34.0% compared to 47.7% for the first nine months of 2009. During the first quarter of 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was signed into law. As a result of this Act, reimbursements the Company receives under Medicare Part D coverage for providing retiree prescription drug benefits would no longer be tax free beginning in 2011. At the beginning of second quarter of 2010, the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 delayed the impact of this change to 2013. On April 14, 2010, the SEC staff announced that the Office of the Chief Accountant would not object to a view that the two Acts should be considered together for accounting purposes. The Company accounted for both Acts in the first quarter of 2010 and recorded income tax expense of $13.3 million associated with this change. Also impacting the effective income tax rate for the first nine months of 2010 was a favorable impact from a domestic manufacturing benefit and the favorable conclusion of an Internal Revenue Service audit in the second quarter of 2010 and, in connection with the audit settlement, an adjustment to income taxes payable. The effective income tax rate for the first nine months of 2009 was impacted by a $28.4 million non-deductible goodwill charge incurred during the second quarter of 2009 as well as an unanticipated change in Wisconsin tax law during the first quarter of 2009 which resulted in the Company establishing a valuation allowance of $22.5 million related to net operating loss carryforwards.

The Company shipped 166,013 Harley-Davidson motorcycles worldwide during the first nine months of 2010, which was 11.3% lower than the first nine months of 2009. The first nine months 2010 shipment volume was in line with Company expectations and resulted in lower U.S. dealer inventory of new Harley-Davidson motorcycles at the end of the first nine months of 2010 compared to the end of the first nine months of 2009.

Total		(263	)		(188	)		(75	)
September 26, 2010	$	3,260		$	2,103		$	1,157

• Volume decreases were primarily the result of the 11.3% decrease in wholesale shipments of Harley-Davidson motorcycle units as well as lower volumes for Parts and Accessories and General Merchandise.

52

• Foreign currency exchange rate changes during the first nine months of 2010 relative to the first nine months of 2009 resulted in a positive impact on net revenue. Gains and losses associated with the revaluation of foreign-denominated assets and liabilities and foreign currency hedging (included in cost of goods sold) were unfavorable when compared to the same period last year which more than offset the positive impact of currency included in net revenue.

• Product mix benefited revenue and gross profit due to a higher mix of the Company’s higher margin touring motorcycles and changes in product mix within the Company’s motorcycle families. Product mix changes were also impacted by motorcycle option offerings, shipment location and related products.

• Manufacturing costs increased partially as the result of a higher fixed cost per unit due to allocating fixed costs to fewer units. Higher manufacturing costs were also the result of increasing product cost associated with new models and increased product content, such as new features and options on the Company’s motorcycles. Finally, manufacturing costs were also higher due to inefficiencies associated with the Company’s restructuring activities at its York, Pennsylvania facility as non-core operations are outsourced. These increased costs were partially offset by productivity gains.

The net increase in operating expense was primarily due to the Company’s previously announced restructuring activities, increased expense associated with the Company’s variable incentive compensation programs and increased international spending partially offset by ongoing cost reduction initiatives. During the first nine months of 2010, the Company accrued for a potential payout of variable incentive compensation programs. The Company was accruing for a potential payout of variable incentive compensation programs during the first half of 2009; however, the Company reversed those accruals during the third quarter of 2009 when the Company determined the planned targets would not be met. For further information regarding the Company’s previously announced restructuring activities, refer to Note 5 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

On January 1, 2010, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (codified within ASC

53

Topic 860), and SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (codified in ASC Topic 810). As a result of the adoption of the new accounting guidance, the Company consolidated the assets and liabilities of its formerly unconsolidated QSPEs on January 1, 2010. Beginning on January 1, 2010, the Company began recognizing interest income and credit losses on the previously unconsolidated securitized receivables and interest expense on the related debt within its statements of operations. The Company’s statement of operations no longer includes income from securitizations including the initial gain or loss previously recorded on off-balance sheet securitizations, income on the investment in retained securitization interests and servicer fees. In addition, the Company no longer incurs charges related to other-than-temporary impairments on its investment in retained securitization interests as that asset has been derecognized.

Interest income for the nine months ended September 26, 2010 benefited primarily from higher average retail finance receivables, which was driven by the consolidation of formerly off-balance sheet QSPEs. Interest expense was flat compared to 2009 as a result of the increased borrowings related to the newly consolidated securitization trusts offset by a lower cost of funds.

There was no income or loss from securitizations during the first nine months of 2010 due to the elimination of the investment in retained securitization interests. During the first nine months of 2009, HDFS recorded a $35.6 million other-than-temporary impairment of certain retained securitization interests due to higher actual and anticipated credit losses partially offset by a slowing in actual and expected prepayment speeds. Partially offsetting the other-than-temporary impairment was $26.4 million of income earned from the investment in the retained securitization interests.

Other income decreased during the first nine months of 2010 compared to the first nine months of 2009 primarily due to no servicer fee income partially offset by the benefit of no lower of cost or market valuation adjustment for finance receivables held for sale. As a result of the consolidation of the formerly off-balance sheet securitization trusts, the Company no longer records servicer fee income from servicing off-balance sheet finance receivables. During the first nine months of 2009, the Company earned $20.4 million of servicer fee income. The Company recognized a $5.9 million charge to earnings for a lower of cost or market valuation adjustment related to its finance receivables held for sale during the first nine months of 2009. The charge, which was the result of the determination that the cost exceeded the fair value of the finance receivables held for sale, was due to higher projected credit losses partially offset by lower funding costs. HDFS used discounted cash flow methodologies to estimate the fair value of finance receivables held for sale that incorporated appropriate assumptions for discount rate, funding costs and credit enhancement, as well as estimates concerning credit losses and prepayments that, in management’s judgment, reflected assumptions that market participants would use. Other income for the first nine months of 2010 also includes a $6.5 million derivative loss.

The provision for credit losses related to retail and wholesale receivables decreased by $55.8 million and $13.4 million, respectively in the first nine months of 2010 compared to the first nine months of 2009. The decrease in the provision for retail credit losses was primarily driven by the second quarter 2009 reclassification of $3.14 billion of finance receivables held for sale to finance receivables held for investment. The reclassification resulted in a $72.7 million increase in the allowance for finance credit losses during the first nine months of 2009. In addition, during the third quarter of 2009, the Company increased the retail reserve by approximately $28 million to reflect a higher expected incidence of loss and lower expected recovery values on repossessed motorcycles. The year over year decrease was partially offset by provision requirements for increased on-balance sheet receivables during the first nine months of 2010. The decrease in the provision for wholesale credit losses is primarily due to an approximately $8 million net increase in reserves during the first nine months of 2009. In addition, wholesale finance receivables outstanding are lower compared to the first nine months of 2009.

As part of the January 1, 2010 adoption of the new accounting guidance within ASC Topic 810 and ASC Topic 860, the Company established an initial allowance for credit losses of $49.4 million related to the previously unconsolidated securitized finance receivables through an adjustment to retained earnings. Subsequent changes in the provision are included in the statement of operations.

Annualized losses on HDFS’ managed retail motorcycle loans were 2.04% during the first nine months of 2010 compared to 2.70% during the first nine months of 2009. The 30-day delinquency rate for managed retail

54

motorcycle loans at September 26, 2010 decreased to 4.83% from 5.80% at September 27, 2009. At September 26, 2010, managed retail loans were comprised of all loans held by HDFS, including those that were consolidated beginning January 1, 2010. Prior to January 1, 2010, managed retail loans include loans held by HDFS as well as those sold through off-balance sheet securitization transactions. The decrease in credit losses from the first nine months of 2009 was due to a lower frequency of loss and improvement in the recovery values of repossessed motorcycles.

Changes in the allowance for finance credit losses on finance receivables held for investment, including finance receivables held by VIEs, were as follows (in thousands):

	Nine months ended
	September 27, 2010			September 26, 2009
Balance, beginning of period	$	150,082		$	40,068
Allowance related to newly consolidated finance receivables(a)		49,424			—
Provision for finance credit losses		69,117			137,830
Charge-offs, net of recoveries		(86,638	)		(28,981	)
Balance, end of period	$	181,985		$	148,917

(a) As part of the required consolidation of formerly off-balance sheet securitization trusts, the Company established a $49.4 million allowance for finance credit losses related to the newly consolidated finance receivables.

At September 26, 2010, the allowance for finance credit losses on finance receivables held for investment was $171.1 million for retail receivables, which includes $96.8 million related to finance receivables held by VIEs, and $10.9 million for wholesale receivables. See Note 7 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the Company’s VIEs. The allowance for finance credit losses on finance receivables held for investment was $128.8 million for retail receivables and $20.1 million for wholesale receivables at September 27, 2009.

HDFS’ periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for finance credit losses on finance receivables held for investment is generally based on HDFS’ past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, current economic conditions and the estimated value of any underlying collateral.

As discussed in Note 6 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, during the nine months ended September 27, 2009, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $28.4 million related to the goodwill associated with HDFS.

Other Matters

Contractual Obligations

As described in Note 2 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company adopted new accounting guidance that resulted in the consolidation of formerly off-balance sheet securitization trusts. As a result of the newly consolidated securitization trusts, the amount of debt carried in the Company’s consolidated financial statements has increased significantly since December 31, 2009. Accordingly, the Company has updated its Contractual Obligations table as of September 26, 2010 to reflect the new projected principal and interest payments for the remainder of 2010 and beyond as follows:

	2010		2011 - 2012		2013 - 2014		Thereafter		Total
Principal payments on debt	$	991,923	$	2,269,255	$	1,854,810	$	1,021,189	$	6,137,177
Interest payments on debt		78,322		538,820		301,982		235,442		1,154,566
	$	1,070,245	$	2,808,075	$	2,156,792	$	1,256,631	$	7,291,743

55

Interest obligations include the impact of interest rate hedges outstanding as of September 26, 2010. Interest for floating rate instruments, as calculated above, assumes rates in effect at September 26, 2010 remain constant.

There have been no other material changes to the Company’s summary of expected payments for significant contractual obligations under the caption “Contractual Obligations” in Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is subject to lawsuits and other claims related to environmental, product and other matters. In determining required reserves related to these items, the Company carefully analyzes cases and considers the likelihood of adverse judgments or outcomes, as well as the potential range of possible loss. The required reserves are monitored on an ongoing basis and are updated based on new developments or new information in each matter.

Environmental Protection Agency Notice

The Company has received formal, written requests for information from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regarding: (i) certificates of conformity for motorcycle emissions and related designations and labels, (ii) aftermarket parts, and (iii) warranty claims on emissions related components. The Company has submitted written responses to the EPA’s inquiry and has engaged in discussions with the EPA. It is possible that a result of the EPA’s investigation will be some form of enforcement action by the EPA that will seek a fine or other relief. However, at this time the Company does not know and cannot reasonably estimate the impact of any remedies the EPA might seek.

Shareholder Lawsuits:

In re Harley-Davidson, Inc. Securities Litigation was a consolidated shareholder securities class action lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin. On October 2, 2006, the Lead Plaintiffs filed a Consolidated Class Action Complaint, which named the Company and certain former Company officers as defendants, that alleged securities law violations and sought unspecified damages relating generally to the Company’s April 13, 2005 announcement that it was reducing short-term production growth and planned increases of motorcycle shipments. In 2006, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Consolidated Complaint. On October 8, 2009, the judge granted defendants’ motion to dismiss, and the clerk of court entered judgment dismissing the consolidated lawsuit. No appeal was taken from the final judgment and the dismissal of the case became final. Subsequently, on March 18, 2010, a group of individuals who appear to be inmates in a federal correctional institution filed a motion to intervene which was immediately dismissed by the District Court because judgment had already been entered. On April 5, 2010, two of the individuals filed notices of appeal of the dismissal. On May 27, 2010, the Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit dismissed the appeals for failure to pay the required docketing fees. The dismissal of the action again became final.

In 2005, three shareholder derivative lawsuits were filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin (one of which was later voluntarily dismissed), and two shareholder derivative lawsuits were filed in Milwaukee County Circuit Court on July 22, 2005 and November 16, 2005, against some or all of the following current or former directors and officers of the Company: Jeffrey L. Bleustein, James L. Ziemer, James M. Brostowitz, Barry K. Allen, Richard I. Beattie, George H. Conrades, Judson C. Green, Donald A. James, Sara L. Levinson, George L. Miles, Jr., James A. Norling, James A. McCaslin, Donna F. Zarcone, Jon R. Flickinger, Gail A. Lione, Ronald M. Hutchinson, W. Kenneth Sutton, Jr. and John A. Hevey. The lawsuits also name the Company as a nominal defendant. In general, the shareholder derivative complaints include factual allegations similar to those in the class action complaints and allege that officers and directors breached their

56

fiduciary duties to the Company. In 2006, the state court consolidated the two state court derivative actions and appointed Lead Plaintiffs and Lead Plaintiffs’ counsel, and the state court ordered that the consolidated state court derivative action be stayed until after motions to dismiss the federal securities class action were decided.

On November 24, 2009, both federal court derivative plaintiffs moved to voluntarily dismiss their lawsuits and all claims without prejudice. On November 30, 2009, the federal court entered orders granting the motions and dismissing the federal court derivative lawsuits without prejudice, and those cases are now closed. Lead plaintiffs in the consolidated state court derivative action filed an amended complaint on February 22, 2010 and defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint in its entirety on April 26, 2010. The motion has been fully briefed, and the court is scheduled to hear arguments on the motion on November 18, 2010.

The Company believes the allegations in the state court derivative lawsuit are without merit and it intends to vigorously defend against the suit. The Company is unable to predict the scope or outcome or quantify their eventual impact, if any, on the Company. At this time, the Company is also unable to estimate associated expenses or possible losses. The Company maintains insurance that may limit its financial exposure for defense costs and liability for an unfavorable outcome, should it not prevail, for claims covered by the insurance coverage.

York Environmental Matters:

The Company is involved with government agencies and groups of potentially responsible parties in various environmental matters, including a matter involving the cleanup of soil and groundwater contamination at its York, Pennsylvania facility. The York facility was formerly used by the U.S. Navy and AMF prior to the purchase of the York facility by the Company from AMF in 1981. Although the Company is not certain as to the full extent of the environmental contamination at the York facility, it has been working with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) since 1986 in undertaking environmental investigation and remediation activities, including an ongoing site-wide remedial investigation/feasibility study (RI/FS). In January 1995, the Company entered into a settlement agreement (the Agreement) with the Navy. The Agreement calls for the Navy and the Company to contribute amounts into a trust equal to 53% and 47%, respectively, of future costs associated with environmental investigation and remediation activities at the York facility (Response Costs). The trust administers the payment of the Response Costs incurred at the York facility as covered by the Agreement.

In February 2002, the Company was advised by the EPA that it considers some of the Company’s remediation activities at the York facility to be subject to the EPA’s corrective action program under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and offered the Company the option of addressing corrective action under a RCRA facility lead agreement. In July 2005, the York facility was designated as the first site in Pennsylvania to be addressed under the “One Cleanup Program.” The program provides a more streamlined and efficient oversight of voluntary remediation by both PADEP and EPA and will be carried out consistent with the Agreement with the Navy. As a result, the RCRA facility lead agreement has been superseded.

Although the RI/FS is still underway and substantial uncertainty exists concerning the nature and scope of the additional environmental investigation and remediation that will ultimately be required at the York facility, the Company estimates that its share of the future Response Costs at the York facility will be approximately $5.9 million. The Company has established reserves for this amount, which are included in accrued liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The estimate of the Company’s future Response Costs that will be incurred at the York facility is based on reports of independent environmental consultants retained by the Company, the actual costs incurred to date and the estimated costs to complete the necessary investigation and remediation activities. Response Costs related to the remediation of soil are expected to be incurred over a period of several years ending in 2015. Response Costs related to ground water remediation may continue for some time beyond 2015.

Product Liability Matters:

Additionally, the Company is involved in product liability suits related to the operation of its business. The Company accrues for claim exposures that are probable of occurrence and can be reasonably estimated. The Company also maintains insurance coverage for product liability exposures. The Company believes that its accruals and insurance coverage are adequate and that product liability will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources as of September 26, 2010

Over the long-term, the Company expects that its business model will continue to generate cash that will allow it to invest in the business, fund future growth opportunities and return value to shareholders.⁽¹⁾ The Company believes the Motorcycles operations will continue to be primarily funded through internally-generated cash flows. The Company’s Financial Services operations have been funded with unsecured debt, unsecured commercial paper, an asset-backed commercial paper conduit facility and committed unsecured bank facilities and through the term asset-backed securitization market. Any new capital market funding during the remainder of 2010 is expected to be used to pre-fund 2011 funding requirements.⁽¹⁾

The Company’s strategy is to maintain a minimum of twelve months of its projected liquidity needs through a combination of cash and marketable securities and availability under credit facilities. The following table summarizes the Company’s cash and marketable securities and availability under credit facilities as of September 26, 2010 (in thousands):

Cash and cash equivalents	$	1,494,301
Marketable securities		55,229
Total cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities		1,549,530
Global credit facilities		445,285
Asset-backed conduit facility		600,000
Total availability under credit facilities		1,045,285
Total	$	2,594,815

Although the Company has obtained the funding necessary to support HDFS’ operations for the remainder of 2010, the Company recognizes that it must continue to adjust its business to changes in the lending environment. The Company intends to continue with a diversified funding profile through a combination of short-term and long-term funding vehicles and to pursue a variety of sources to obtain cost-effective funding. The Financial Services operations could be negatively affected by higher costs of funding and increased difficulty of raising, or potential unsuccessful efforts to raise, funding in the short-term and long-term capital markets.⁽¹⁾ These negative consequences could in turn adversely affect the Company’s business and results of operations in various ways, including through higher costs of capital, reduced funds available through its Financial Services operations to provide loans to independent dealers and their retail customers, and dilution to existing shareholders through the use of alternative sources of capital.

The Company is currently evaluating a contribution during the fourth quarter of 2010 to further fund its pension plans.

Cash Flow Activity

The following table summarizes the cash flow activity of continuing operations for the periods indicated (in thousands):

	Nine months ended
	September 26, 2010			September 27, 2009

Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents of continuing operations	$	(72,350	)	$	1,002,964

Operating Activities of Continuing Operations

The increase in operating cash flow for the first nine months of 2010 compared to the first nine months of 2009 was due primarily to the changes in classification of the Company’s retail lending activities and favorable movements in working capital.

Retail loans originated prior to June 28, 2009 were classified as held-for-sale based on the Company’s intent to securitize these U.S. retail motorcycle loans in off-balance sheet securitization transactions under prior U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, the origination and collection of these retail loans were components of operating cash flows. In connection with the Company’s adoption of the new guidance within ASC Topic 810 and ASC Topic 860 on January 1, 2010, all U.S. retail motorcycle finance receivables are considered held for investment, as the Company has the intent and ability to hold the finance receivables for the foreseeable future, or until maturity. Consistent with the adoption guidance within ASC Topic 810 and ASC Topic 860, which requires the Company to adopt the standards on a prospective basis as if they had always been in effect, the Company has classified the post-January 1, 2010 cash flows related to all of its retail motorcycle finance receivables as investing cash flows in the statement of cash flows.

Investing Activities of Continuing Operations

The Company’s investing activities consist primarily of capital expenditures, net changes in finance receivables held for investment and net changes in marketable securities. Capital expenditures were $77.6 million and $76.6 million during the first nine months of 2010 and 2009, respectively. Net changes in finance receivables held for investment in the first nine months of 2010 reflect the incremental cash flows from finance receivables held by securitization trusts that were not consolidated prior to January 1, 2010. The effects of consolidating formerly off-balance sheet QSPEs are discussed further in Note 2 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Financing Activities of Continuing Operations

The Company’s financing activities consist primarily of debt activity, dividend payments and share repurchases. As of September 26, 2010, there were 16.7 million shares remaining on a board-approved share repurchase authorization. An additional board-approved share repurchase authorization is in place to offset option exercises.

The Company paid dividends of $0.30 per share at a total cost of $70.5 million and $70.3 million during each of the first nine months of 2010 and 2009, respectively.

59

As of September 26, 2010, debt increased by $967.0 million compared to September 27, 2009, primarily driven by the Company’s adoption of new accounting guidance within ASC Topic 810 and ASC Topic 860, which resulted in the consolidation of all formerly off-balance sheet QSPE debt. The Company’s total outstanding debt consisted of the following as of September 26, 2010 and September 27, 2009 (in thousands):

	September 26, 2010		September 27, 2009
Global credit facilities	$	207,234	$	400,939
Unsecured commercial paper		697,481		899,971
Medium-term notes		2,099,092		1,605,464
Senior unsecured notes		600,000		600,000
		3,603,807		3,506,374
Asset-backed conduit facility		—		570,132
Finance receivable securitization debt		2,533,370		1,093,650
Debt held by variable interest entities		2,533,370		1,663,782
Total debt	$	6,137,177	$	5,170,156

In order to access the debt capital markets, the Company relies on credit rating agencies to assign short-term and long-term credit ratings. Generally, lower credit ratings result in higher borrowing costs and reduced access to debt capital markets. A credit rating agency may change or withdraw the Company’s ratings based on its assessment of the Company’s current and future ability to meet interest and principal repayment obligations. The Company’s short-term debt ratings affect its ability to issue unsecured commercial paper. The Company’s short- and long-term debt ratings as of September 26, 2010 were as follows:

	Short-Term		Long-Term		Outlook
Moody’s		P2		Baa1		Negative
Standard & Poor’s		A2		BBB		Stable
Fitch		F2		BBB+		Stable

Global Credit Facilities – On April 29, 2010, the Company and HDFS entered into a new $675.0 million 364-day credit facility (New 364-Day Credit Facility) to refinance and replace a $625.0 million 364-day credit facility (2009 364-Day Credit Facility), which matured in April 2010. The New 364-Day Credit Facility matures in April 2011. In connection with the New 364-Day Credit Facility, the Company and HDFS also entered into a new $675.0 million three-year credit facility to refinance and replace a $950.0 million three-year credit facility agreement, which was set to mature in July 2011. The new three-year credit facility matures in April 2013. The New 364-Day Credit Facility and the new three-year credit facility agreement (together, the Global Credit Facilities) bear interest at various variable interest rates, which may be adjusted upward or downward depending on certain criteria, such as credit ratings. The Global Credit Facilities also require the Company to pay a fee based upon the average daily unused portion of the aggregate commitments under the Global Credit Facilities. The Global Credit Facilities are committed facilities and primarily used to support HDFS’ unsecured commercial paper program.

Unsecured Commercial Paper – Subject to limitations, HDFS can issue unsecured commercial paper of up to $1.35 billion as of September 26, 2010 as a result of the Global Credit Facilities discussed above. Outstanding unsecured commercial paper may not exceed the unused portion of the Global Credit Facilities. Maturities may range up to 365 days from the issuance date. HDFS intends to finance the repayment of unsecured commercial paper as it matures by issuing traditional unsecured commercial paper or through other means, such as borrowing under the Global Credit Facilities, borrowing under its asset-backed commercial paper conduit facility and term asset-backed securitizations.⁽¹⁾

60

Medium-Term Notes – The Company had the following medium-term notes (collectively, the Notes) issued and outstanding at September 26, 2010 (in thousands):

Principal Amount		Rate			Issue Date	Maturity Date
$	200,000		5.00	%	December 2005	December 2010
$	400,000		5.25	%	December 2007	December 2012
$	1,000,000		6.80	%	May 2008	June 2018
$	500,000		5.75	%	November 2009	December 2014

The Notes provide for semi-annual interest payments and principal due at maturity. At September 26, 2010 and September 27, 2009, the Notes included a fair value adjustment increasing the balance by $1.4 million and $7.4 million, respectively, due to interest rate swap agreements designated as fair value hedges. The effect of the interest rate swap agreements is to convert the interest rate on a portion of the Notes from a fixed to a floating rate, which is based on 3-month LIBOR. Unamortized discounts on the Notes reduced the balance by $2.3 million and $2.0 million at September 26, 2010 and September 27, 2009, respectively.

Senior Unsecured Notes – In February 2009, the Company issued $600.0 million of senior unsecured notes in an underwritten offering. The senior unsecured notes mature in February 2014 and have an annual interest rate of 15%. The senior unsecured notes provide for semi-annual interest payments and principal due at maturity. Prior to the end of the first quarter of 2009, the Company transferred the full proceeds from the issuance to HDFS to fund HDFS’ operations. As HDFS diversified its debt structure through a combination of actions during 2009, its funding profile improved. During the fourth quarter of 2009, HDFS transferred the full proceeds back to the Company.

Asset-Backed Commercial Paper Conduit Facility – On September 10, 2010, the Company amended and restated its revolving asset-backed conduit facility which provides for a total aggregate commitment of $600.0 million. At September 26, 2010, HDFS had no outstanding borrowings under the conduit facility.

This debt provides for interest on outstanding principal based on prevailing commercial paper rates, or LIBOR plus a specified margin to the extent the advance is not funded by a conduit lender through the issuance of commercial paper. The conduit facility also provides for an unused commitment fee based on the unused portion of the total aggregate commitment of $600.0 million. There is no amortization schedule; however, the debt is reduced monthly as available collections on the related finance receivable collateral are applied to outstanding principal. Upon expiration of the conduit facility, any outstanding principal will continue to be reduced monthly through available collections. Unless earlier terminated or extended by mutual agreement of HDFS and the lenders, as of September 26, 2010, the conduit facility had an expiration date of September 9, 2011.

Finance Receivable Securitization Debt – On January 1, 2010, the Company adopted new guidance within ASC Topics 810 and 860 for consolidating VIEs. As a result, the Company consolidated the securitized U.S. retail motorcycle loans, resulting secured borrowings, and other related assets and liabilities related to the formerly unconsolidated QSPEs in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The consolidation of the secured notes related to these VIEs resulted in a $1.89 billion increase in securitization debt on January 1, 2010, the effective date of adoption.

During 2009, the Company issued $2.46 billion of secured notes through four separate term asset-backed securitization transactions that were consolidated in the Company’s financial statements due to the structure of those transactions at the time of issuance. The Company has not completed any term asset-backed securitization transactions during 2010.

For all of the term asset-backed securitization transactions, the Company transferred U.S. retail motorcycle loans to separate VIEs, which in turn issued secured notes, with various maturities and interest rates to investors. All of the notes held by the VIEs are secured by future collections of the purchased U.S. retail motorcycle loans. The U.S. retail motorcycle loans included in the term asset-backed securitization transactions are only available for payment of the debt and other obligations arising from term asset-backed securitization

61

transactions and are not available to pay other obligations or claims of the Company’s creditors until the associated debt and other obligations are satisfied. Cash and cash equivalent balances held by the VIEs are used only to support the securitizations. There is no amortization schedule for the secured notes; however, the debt is reduced monthly as available collections on the related retail motorcycle loans are applied to outstanding principal. The secured notes’ contractual lives have various maturities ranging from 2010 to 2017.

As of September 26, 2010, the assets of the VIEs totaled $3.37 billion, of which $3.07 billion of finance receivables and $285.7 million of cash were restricted as collateral for the payment of $2.53 billion of obligations under the secured notes. Approximately $731.8 million of the obligations under the secured notes were classified as current at September 26, 2010, based on the contractual maturities of the restricted finance receivables.

Intercompany Borrowing – During the first nine months of 2009, HDFS borrowed $600.0 million from the Company with interest terms matching the Company’s senior unsecured notes described above. During the fourth quarter of 2009, HDFS repaid the full proceeds back to the Company. In addition, HDFS has a revolving credit line with the Company whereby HDFS may borrow up to $210.0 million from the Company at a market interest rate. As of September 26, 2010 and September 27, 2009, HDFS had no outstanding borrowings owed to the Company under the revolving credit line.

The Company has a support agreement with HDFS whereby, if required, the Company agrees to provide HDFS with financial support to maintain HDFS’ fixed-charge coverage at 1.25 and minimum net worth of $40.0 million. Support may be provided at the Company’s option as capital contributions or loans. Accordingly, certain debt covenants may restrict the Company’s ability to withdraw funds from HDFS outside the normal course of business. No amount has ever been provided to HDFS under the support agreement.

Operating and Financial Covenants – HDFS and the Company are subject to various operating and financial covenants related to the Global Credit Facilities and the asset-backed commercial paper conduit facility and various operating covenants under the Notes. The more significant covenants are described below.

The covenants limit the Company’s and HDFS’ ability to:

• incur certain additional indebtedness;

• assume or incur certain liens;

• participate in a merger, consolidation, liquidation or dissolution; and

• purchase or hold margin stock.

Under the financial covenants of the Global Credit Facilities and the asset-backed commercial paper conduit facility, the debt to equity ratio of HDFS and its consolidated subsidiaries cannot exceed 10.0 to 1.0 and HDFS must maintain a consolidated tangible net worth of not less than $500.0 million. In addition, the Company must maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio of at least 2.0 to 1.0 for the fiscal quarter ending September 26, 2010, 2.25 to 1.0 for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2010 and 2.5 to 1.0 for each fiscal quarter thereafter. No financial covenants are required under the Notes or the Company’s $600.0 million senior unsecured notes.

At September 26, 2010, HDFS and the Company remained in compliance with all of the existing covenants.

Cash Flows from Discontinued Operations

Cash flows from discontinued operations consist of the operating and investing activities of MV. During the nine months ended September 26, 2010 and September 27, 2009, cash flows from discontinued operations were a net cash outflow of $69.8 million and $72.1 million, respectively. The Company expects that consolidated cash flow will benefit now that the divestiture of MV is complete.

Cautionary Statements

The Company’s ability to meet the targets and expectations noted depends upon, among other factors, the Company’s ability to:

(i) execute its business strategy and divest certain Company assets;

(ii) effectively execute the Company’s restructuring plans within expected costs and timing;

(iii) successfully achieve with the Company’s labor unions flexible and cost-effective agreements to accomplish restructuring goals and long-term competitiveness;

(iv) manage the risks that the Company’s independent dealers may have difficulty obtaining capital, and adjusting to the recession and slowdown in consumer demand;

(v) manage supply chain issues;

(vi) anticipate the level of consumer confidence in the economy;

(vii) continue to have access to reliable sources of capital funding and adjust to fluctuations in the cost of capital;

(viii) manage the credit quality, the loan servicing and collection activities, and the recovery rates of HDFS’ loan portfolio;

(ix) continue to realize production efficiencies at its production facilities and manage operating costs including materials, labor and overhead;

(x) manage production capacity and production changes;

(xi) provide products, services and experiences that are successful in the marketplace;

(xii) develop and implement sales and marketing plans that retain existing retail customers and attract new retail customers in an increasingly competitive marketplace;

(xiii) sell all of its motorcycles and related products and services to its independent dealers;

(xiv) continue to develop the capabilities of its distributor and dealer network;

(xv) manage changes and prepare for requirements in legislative and regulatory environments for its products, services and operations;

(xvi) adjust to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices;

(xvii) adjust to healthcare inflation and reform, pension reform and tax changes;

(xviii) retain and attract talented employees;

(xix) detect any issues with the Company’s motorcycles or manufacturing processes to avoid delays in new model launches, recall campaigns, increased warranty costs or litigation; and

(xx) implement and manage enterprise-wide information technology solutions and secure data contained in those systems.

In addition, the Company could experience delays or disruptions in its operations as a result of work stoppages, strikes, natural causes, terrorism or other factors. Other factors are described in risk factors that the Company has disclosed in documents previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Many of these risk factors are impacted by the current turbulent capital, credit and retail markets and the Company’s ability to adjust to them.

The Company’s ability to sell its motorcycles and related products and services and to meet its financial expectations also depends on the ability of the Company’s independent dealers to sell its motorcycles and related products and services to retail customers. The Company depends on the capability and financial capacity of its independent dealers and distributors to develop and implement effective retail sales plans to create demand for the motorcycles and related products and services they purchase from the Company.

In addition, the Company’s independent dealers and distributors may experience difficulties in operating their businesses and selling Harley-Davidson motorcycles and related products and services as a result of weather, economic conditions or other factors.

Refer to “Risk Factors” under Item 1A of this report and under Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 for a discussion of additional factors and a more complete discussion of some of the cautionary statements noted above.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1 – Legal Proceedings

Environmental Protection Agency Notice

The Company has received formal, written requests for information from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regarding: (i) certificates of conformity for motorcycle emissions and related designations and labels, (ii) aftermarket parts, and (iii) warranty claims on emissions related components. The Company has submitted written responses to the EPA’s inquiry and has engaged in discussions with the EPA. It is possible that a result of the EPA’s investigation will be some form of enforcement action by the EPA that will seek a fine or other relief. However, at this time the Company does not know and cannot reasonably estimate the impact of any remedies the EPA might seek.

Shareholder Lawsuits:

In re Harley-Davidson, Inc. Securities Litigation was a consolidated shareholder securities class action lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin. On October 2, 2006, the Lead Plaintiffs filed a Consolidated Class Action Complaint, which named the Company and certain former Company officers as defendants, that alleged securities law violations and sought unspecified damages relating generally to the Company’s April 13, 2005 announcement that it was reducing short-term production growth and planned increases of motorcycle shipments. In 2006, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Consolidated Complaint. On October 8, 2009, the judge granted defendants’ motion to dismiss, and the clerk of court entered judgment dismissing the consolidated lawsuit. No appeal was taken from the final judgment and the dismissal of the case became final. Subsequently, on March 18, 2010, a group of individuals who appear to be inmates in a federal correctional institution filed a motion to intervene which was immediately dismissed by the District Court because judgment had already been entered. On April 5, 2010, two of the individuals filed notices of appeal of the dismissal. On May 27, 2010, the Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit dismissed the appeals for failure to pay the required docketing fees. The dismissal of the action again became final.

In 2005, three shareholder derivative lawsuits were filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin (one of which was later voluntarily dismissed), and two shareholder derivative lawsuits were filed in Milwaukee County Circuit Court on July 22, 2005 and November 16, 2005, against some or all of the following current or former directors and officers of the Company: Jeffrey L. Bleustein, James L. Ziemer, James M. Brostowitz, Barry K. Allen, Richard I. Beattie, George H. Conrades, Judson C. Green, Donald A. James, Sara L. Levinson, George L. Miles, Jr., James A. Norling, James A. McCaslin, Donna F. Zarcone, Jon R. Flickinger, Gail A. Lione, Ronald M. Hutchinson, W. Kenneth Sutton, Jr. and John A. Hevey. The lawsuits also name the Company as a nominal defendant. In general, the shareholder derivative complaints include factual allegations similar to those in the class action complaints and allege that officers and directors breached their fiduciary duties to the Company. In 2006, the state court consolidated the two state court derivative actions and appointed Lead Plaintiffs and Lead Plaintiffs’ counsel, and the state court ordered that the consolidated state court derivative action be stayed until after motions to dismiss the federal securities class action were decided.

On November 24, 2009, both federal court derivative plaintiffs moved to voluntarily dismiss their lawsuits and all claims without prejudice. On November 30, 2009, the federal court entered orders granting the motions and dismissing the federal court derivative lawsuits without prejudice, and those cases are now closed. Lead plaintiffs in the consolidated state court derivative action filed an amended complaint on February 22, 2010 and defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint in its entirety on April 26, 2010. The motion has been fully briefed, and the court is scheduled to hear arguments on the motion on November 18, 2010.

The Company believes the allegations in the state court derivative lawsuit are without merit and it intends to vigorously defend against the suit. The Company is unable to predict the scope or outcome or quantify their eventual impact, if any, on the Company. At this time, the Company is also unable to estimate associated expenses or possible losses. The Company maintains insurance that may limit its financial exposure for defense costs and liability for an unfavorable outcome, should it not prevail, for claims covered by the insurance coverage.

York Environmental Matters:

The Company is involved with government agencies and groups of potentially responsible parties in various environmental matters, including a matter involving the cleanup of soil and groundwater contamination at its York, Pennsylvania facility. The York facility was formerly used by the U.S. Navy and AMF prior to the purchase of the York facility by the Company from AMF in 1981. Although the Company is not certain as to the full extent of the environmental contamination at the York facility, it has been working with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) since 1986 in undertaking environmental investigation and remediation activities, including an ongoing site-wide remedial investigation/feasibility study (RI/FS). In January 1995, the Company entered into a settlement agreement (the Agreement) with the Navy. The Agreement calls for the Navy and the Company to contribute amounts into a trust equal to 53% and 47%, respectively, of future costs associated with environmental investigation and remediation activities at the York facility (Response Costs). The trust administers the payment of the Response Costs incurred at the York facility as covered by the Agreement.

In February 2002, the Company was advised by the EPA that it considers some of the Company’s remediation activities at the York facility to be subject to the EPA’s corrective action program under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and offered the Company the option of addressing corrective action under a RCRA facility lead agreement. In July 2005, the York facility was designated as the first site in Pennsylvania to be addressed under the “One Cleanup Program.” The program provides a more streamlined and efficient oversight of voluntary remediation by both PADEP and EPA and will be carried out consistent with the Agreement with the Navy. As a result, the RCRA facility lead agreement has been superseded.

Although the RI/FS is still underway and substantial uncertainty exists concerning the nature and scope of the additional environmental investigation and remediation that will ultimately be required at the York facility, the Company estimates that its share of the future Response Costs at the York facility will be approximately $5.9 million. The Company has established reserves for this amount, which are included in accrued liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The estimate of the Company’s future Response Costs that will be incurred at the York facility is based on reports of independent environmental consultants retained by the Company, the actual costs incurred to date and the estimated costs to complete the necessary investigation and remediation activities. Response Costs related to the remediation of soil are expected to be incurred over a period of several years ending in 2015. Response Costs related to ground water remediation may continue for some time beyond 2015.

Product Liability Matters:

Additionally, the Company is involved in product liability suits related to the operation of its business. The Company accrues for claim exposures that are probable of occurrence and can be reasonably estimated. The Company also maintains insurance coverage for product liability exposures. The Company believes that its accruals and insurance coverage are adequate and that product liability will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Item 1A – Risk Factors

Refer to Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 for a discussion regarding risk factors relating to the Company. In addition, investors should consider the following:

• The Company’s operations may be affected by greenhouse emissions and climate change and related regulations. In particular, climate change is receiving increasing attention worldwide. Many scientists, legislators and others attribute climate change to increased levels of greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, which has led to significant legislative and regulatory efforts to limit greenhouse gas emissions. There have been bills pending in Congress that would regulate greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, several states, including states where the Company has manufacturing plants, are considering various greenhouse gas registration and reduction programs. Energy security and availability and its related costs affect all aspects of the Company’s manufacturing operations in the United States, including the Company’s supply

chain. The Company’s manufacturing plants use energy, including electricity and natural gas, and certain of the Company’s plants emit amounts of greenhouse gas that may be affected by these legislative and regulatory efforts. Greenhouse gas regulation could increase the price of the electricity the Company purchases, increase costs for use of natural gas, potentially restrict access to or the use of natural gas, require the Company to purchase allowances to offset the Company’s own emissions or result in an overall increase in costs of raw materials, any one of which could increase the Company’s costs, reduce competitiveness in a global economy or otherwise negatively affect the Company’s business, operations or financial results. Many of the Company’s suppliers face similar circumstances. While additional regulation of emissions in the future appears likely, it is too early to predict how this regulation will ultimately affect the Company’s business, operations or financial results. Physical risks to the Company’s business operations as identified by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and other expert bodies include scenarios such as sea level rise, extreme weather conditions and resource shortages. Extreme weather may disrupt the production and supply of natural gas, a fuel necessary for the manufacture of motorcycles. Supply disruptions would raise market rates and jeopardize the continuity of motorcycle production.

The Company has an authorization (originally adopted in December 1997) by its Board of Directors to repurchase shares of its outstanding common stock under which the cumulative number of shares repurchased, at the time of any repurchase, shall not exceed the sum of (1) the number of shares issued in connection with the exercise of stock options occurring on or after January 1, 2004 plus (2) one percent of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company on January 1 of the current year, adjusted for any stock split. The Company did not purchase shares under this authorization during the quarter ended September 26, 2010.

In December 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors separately authorized the Company to buy back up to 20.0 million shares of its common stock with no dollar limit or expiration date. As of September 26, 2010, 16.7 million shares remained under this authorization.

The Harley-Davidson, Inc. 2009 Incentive Stock Plan and predecessor stock plans permit participants to satisfy all or a portion of the statutory federal, state and local withholding tax obligations arising in connection with plan awards by electing to (a) have the Company withhold shares otherwise issuable under the award, (b) tender back shares received in connection with such award or (c) deliver other previously owned shares, in each case having a value equal to the amount to be withheld. During the third quarter of 2010, the Company acquired 14,900 shares of common stock that employees presented to the Company to satisfy withholding taxes in connection with the vesting of restricted stock awards.
