THE TORO COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
AUGUST 2, 1996
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not
include all the information and notes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements include all
adjustments, consisting primarily of recurring accruals, considered
necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results
of operations. The Toro Company's business is seasonal. Operating results
for the nine months ended August 2, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of
the results that may be expected for the year ending October 31, 1996.
In November 1995, the company changed its fiscal year from a fiscal
year ended July 31 to a fiscal year ended October 31.
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
notes included in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended July 31, 1995 (the company's former fiscal year end). The policies
described in that report are used for preparing quarterly reports.
2. INVENTORIES
The majority of 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
$24,730,000 higher than reported at August 2, 1996, and July 31, 1995,
respectively. Under the FIFO method, work-in-process inventories were
$68,952,000 and $68,683,000 and finished goods inventories were
$99,228,000 and $79,767,000 at August 2, 1996, and July 31, 1995,
respectively.
-6-
3. DEFERRED INCOME
The company entered into a forward starting interest rate exchange
agreement with a bank on March 6, 1996 to hedge the anticipated refinancing
of its $50 million, 11% long-term sinking fund debentures callable August
1, 1997, and to realize the benefit of current favorable interest rates.
Simultaneously with entering into this interest rate exchange agreement,
the company terminated its interest rate exchange agreement entered into
during February 1994. The effect of this transaction was to extend the
original forward starting interest rate exchange agreement from 5 years to
30 years. As a result of this transaction, the deferred income balance
was increased from $5.25 million in 1994 to $17.3 in March of 1996. The
net additional cash received in March 1996 was $12.1 million. In return
for the net proceeds, the company will pay the bank 10.55% on a notational
amount of $50 million from August 1, 1997 through August 2, 2027 and the
company will receive payments based on a floating rate equal to LIBOR on
the notational amount over the same period.
The net interest rate differential to be received or paid and the $17.3
million deferred income will be recognized commencing August 1, 1997 as an
adjustment to interest expense over the term of the agreement.
In accordance with FASB statement 107 "Disclosures about Fair Value of
Financial Instruments" the cost to terminate this agreement at August 2,
1996, had management elected to do so, was approximately $18.5 million
which would have resulted in a loss of approximately $0.8 million.
Subsequent to August 2, 1996 the company entered into a forward starting
interest rate exchange agreement with a bank to hedge the anticipated
refinancing of $50 million currently financed under short-term credit
agreements. The company received or paid no cash as a result of this
transaction.

Worldwide net sales for the three months ended August 2, 1996 of $232.6 million
increased by $30.0 million from the prior year. The increase in consumer product
sales occurred primarily as a result of significant snow sales early in the
season. Good performance for riding products and electric products also
contributed to the increase. The commercial product sales increase was
primarily the result of a strong European golf market and increased sales to the
landscape contractors market, fueled by a new product introduced in the quarter
and successful marketing programs. Sales of irrigation products increased as
sales of do-it-yourself products remained strong. International sales, reported
within the consumer, commercial and irrigation results above, increased from the
prior year due to strong commercial sales to the European golf market. Consumer
riding product sales to Australia and early snow shipments also fueled the
increase.
Worldwide net sales for the nine months ended August 2, 1996 of $732.7 million
increased $5.6 million from the prior year. The consumer product sales decline
is the result of the slow start to the lawn and garden retail season because of
the unseasonable weather over most of the United States. This decline was
partially offset by the early snow sales described above. The increase in
commercial products was primarily the result of strong sales to the European
golf market. Irrigation sales are up with increases in both the golf and do-it-
yourself markets. International sales for the nine months are above the prior
year due to the reasons previously noted.
Gross profit of $85.9 million for the third quarter increased $10.8 million from
the prior year. As a percent of sales, gross profit for the third quarter ended
August 2, 1996 was 36.9% compared with 37.1% for the period ended July 31, 1995
due primarily to a change in product mix. Gross profit of $266.0 million for
the nine months ended August 2, 1996 increased $7.5 million from the prior year.
As a percent of sales, gross profit for the nine months ended August 2, 1996 was
36.3% compared with 35.6% for the prior period. This increase was also due
primarily to favorable product costs and product mix.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense (S G & A) for the third quarter
increased $6.1 million from the prior year but as a percent of sales decreased
to 31.3%. Administrative expense was flat from the prior year and as a percent
of sales was down 1.6% as the company leverages fixed expenses on increased
sales. Sales and marketing expense increased primarily because of the sales
increase. The percent of sales change in sales and marketing expense was the
result of marketing incentives used in the quarter to stimulate lawn and garden
sales. Warranty expense decreased from the prior year primarily as a result of
lower warranty reserve requirements due to product quality improvement. Research
and development expenditures were above the prior year reflecting the company's
continued commitment to product innovation.

FINANCIAL POSITION AS OF AUGUST 2, 1996
AUGUST 2, 1996 COMPARED TO JULY 31, 1995
Total assets as of August 2, 1996 were $531.9 million, up $63.6 million from
July 31, 1995. The primary increases occurred in accounts receivable and
inventory. The increase in inventory comes as a result of the slow retail
season in some product categories. Production schedule changes and a pick up in
retail demand is expected to bring inventory levels back in line with prior
periods by October 31, 1996.
Historically, accounts receivable balances increase in March and April as a
result of extended payment terms made available to the company's customers and
decrease throughout the summer months as payments become due. Accounts
receivable at August 2, 1996 showed an increase of $55.6 million over the prior
year. Of the receivables increase approximately $38.8 million is due to the
large volume of snow sales made at the end of the quarter and a slowdown in
retail commercial product movement. Approximately $5.3 million relates to the
expansion of the dealer financing customer base which is financed by the
company. Approximately $2.3 million of the increase was due to the sale of
receivables in the prior year with no receivables being sold in the current
year. The remaining change is primarily due to increases in consumer and
international sales.
Total current liabilities of $246.7 million at August 2, 1996 increased $34.1
million compared with current liabilities at July 31, 1995. The majority of
this increase occurred in short-term borrowing, which was up $61.1 million over
the prior year. The increase in short-term borrowing reflects the company's
cash management strategy of utilizing short-term borrowing to fund the company's
seasonal working capital needs. The company's peak borrowing usually occurs in
late winter/early spring. The company also acquired $5.9 million of Toro stock
in the third quarter. The purchased stock will be used primarily to fulfill the
company's obligations under a variety of benefit plans. The increase in short-
term borrowing was offset by a decrease in both accounts payable, due to normal
seasonal production slowdowns within the past few months, and a reduction in the
current portion of long-term debt due to scheduled payments.
Other long-term liabilities increased $17.3 million over the prior year because
the company entered into a forward starting interest rate exchange agreement.
See footnote 3 on page 7.
AUGUST 2, 1996 COMPARED TO OCTOBER 31, 1995
Total assets as of August 2, 1996 were $531.9 million, up $59.3 million from
October 31, 1995. The majority of this increase occurred in accounts receivable
($67.0 million). The increase in accounts receivable is attributable to the
fact that the company's business is cyclical with receivables increasing in the
winter months as extended payment terms are offered to customers. Receivable
balances are highest at the end of the second quarter with third quarter the
next largest. In addition, accounts receivable have increased due to the
expansion of the dealer financing customer base.
Total current liabilities of $246.7 million at August 2, 1996 increased $25.6
million compared with current liabilities at October 31, 1995. The majority of
this increase was the result of additional short-term borrowing of $42.0 million
and other accrued liabilities of $23.4 million. The increase in short-term
borrowing reflects the company's strategy of utilizing short-term borrowing to
fund the company's seasonal working capital needs. The company also acquired
$13.1 million of Toro stock in the nine months ended August 2, 1996.
Other long-term liabilities increased $15.4 million mainly because the company
entered into a forward starting interest rate exchange agreement. See footnote
3 on page 7.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
EQUITY
Equity increased $24.1 million compared with the prior year. Retained earnings
increased $30.1 million. This was offset by a decrease in additional paid in
capital because the company acquired $14.0 million of Toro stock in the twelve
months ended August 2, 1996. The purchased stock will be used primarily to
fulfill the company's obligations under a variety of benefit plans.
Equity as of August 2, 1996 increased $18.7 million compared to October 31,
1995. The increase reflects the earnings over the period offset by the
acquisition of Toro stock.
CASH FLOWS
The seasonal working capital requirements of the business are financed with
short-term debt. Management believes that the combination of funds available
through its existing financing arrangements, coupled with forecasted cash flows,
will provide the capital resources for its anticipated needs.
Net cash used in operating activities was primarily to support the increase in
accounts receivable explained above. Partially offsetting these operating cash
outflows was cash provided from net earnings and the provision for depreciation
and amortization.
Net cash used in investing activities was the result of spending related to
consumer tooling, and several new molding machines used in the irrigation
facilities and building improvements at the Windom plant. Purchases of
property, plant, and equipment are down due to several one-time expenditures on
facility expansions in the prior year.
Net cash provided by financing activities was the result of proceeds from short-
term borrowing used to fulfill the operating cash flow requirements described
above in addition to reducing long-term debt. The cash provided from the change
in other long-term liabilities is the cash received from the forward starting
interest rate exchange agreement entered into on March 6, 1996. See footnote 3
on page 7. In addition, the company acquired $13.1 million of Toro stock in the
nine months ended August 2, 1996.
INFLATION
The company is subject to the effects of changing prices. The company has,
however, generally been able to pass along inflationary increases in its costs
by increasing the prices of its products.
