See accompanying notes to condensed consolidated financial statements. -5- THE TORO COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) OCTOBER 31, 1995 BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the three month transition period ended October 31, 1995 have been prepared by the company without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of the company, these consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the company as of October 31, 1995, and the consolidated results of the company's operations and their cash flows for the three month transition period ended October 31, 1995. The company's business is seasonal. Operating results for the three month period ended October 31, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full fiscal year. The accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the company's annual financial statements filed with the Annual Report on Form 10-K. The three months ended October 31, 1995 comprise the three month ("transition period") resulting from a recent change in the company's year end from July 31 to October 31. On November 1, 1995 the company started a new fiscal year and will begin reporting quarterly and annually on that basis. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. INVENTORIES The majority of all inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value with cost determined by the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. Had the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method of cost determination been used, inventories would have been $24,841,000 and $19,204,000 higher than reported at October 31, 1995, and 1994, respectively. Under the FIFO method, work-in- process inventories were $86,285,000 and $71,958,000 and finished goods inventories were $84,418,000 and $80,100,000 at October 31, 1995, and 1994, respectively. -6- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table sets forth sales by product line.

Worldwide net sales for the three months ended October 31, 1995, of $192.3 million decreased by $13.4 million from the prior year primarily as a result of decreased sales of snow removal equipment. Sales of snow removal equipment for the quarter ended October 31, 1994 were extraordinary because of the exceptional sales in the prior year. The decline in the quarter was offset partially by an increase in commercial and irrigation product sales. The increase in commercial product sales was the result of new product introductions, golf course openings, increased sales of equipment to landscape contractors and increased sales in the municipal markets. Irrigation sales increased because of new product introductions and increased demand for do-it-yourself products. International sales included in the table above declined from the prior year because of a temporary business interruption in the irrigation product line as a result of distribution changes as well as decreased sales of snow removal equipment. Gross profit of $71.7 million decreased $4.4 million from the prior year because of the decline in sales. As a percent of sales, gross profit for the period ended October 31, 1995 was 37.3% compared with 37.0% for the period ended October 28, 1994 because of increased sales of commercial and irrigation products which was offset by reduced sales of snow removal equipment.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense (S G & A) increased $2.3 million from the prior year and as a percent of sales increased to 33.8%. Administrative expense increased from the prior year as the company continues its implementation of a company-wide information system as well as an overall increase in spending. Warranty increased from the prior year as a result of a change in the sales mix of products. Research and development expenditures are above the prior year reflecting the company's continued commitment to product innovation. These increases were offset partially by a decrease in sales and marketing expense primarily because of reduced sales. -7- LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The company's business is seasonal. Historically, accounts receivable balances increase throughout the winter months as a result of extended payment terms made available to the company's customers and decrease in late spring when payments become due. The company's peak borrowing usually occurs in late winter/early spring. The seasonal working capital requirements of the business are financed primarily with short-term debt. Management believes that the combination of funds available through its existing financing options, coupled with forecasted cash flows, will provide the capital resources for its anticipated needs. Total assets as of October 31, 1995 were $472.7 million, up $21.1 million from October 28, 1994. The primary increases occurred in inventory and property, plant and equipment. Inventory increased from the prior year because of an extended manufacturing cycle and seasonal preparation for production of commercial and irrigation products. Property, plant and equipment increased compared with the prior year because of spending on a variety of projects such as increased tooling and an addition to the Windom, Minnesota manufacturing facility. Short-term borrowing is $41.6 million at October 31, 1995, reflecting the company's cash management strategy of utilizing short-term borrowing as a means of reducing long-term debt instruments with higher interest rates as well as funding for the company's working capital needs. Equity increased $12.1 million compared with the prior year. Retained earnings increased because of earnings growth. This was offset by a decrease in additional paid in capital because of the purchase of the company's stock. The company acquired $26.2 million in Toro stock in 1995 to take advantage of market conditions. The stock will be used for a variety of company purposes. CAPITAL STRUCTURE

CASH FLOWS Cash used in operating activities was primarily to support an increase in inventory from year end and payments of accounts payable and accrued expenses. This was offset by increased collection of account receivables. Net cash used in investment activities was the result of spending related to company improvement projects. Net cash provided by financing activities was the result of proceeds from short- term borrowing used for a variety of purposes, including reduction of long-term debt. -8- PART II.
