Valuation Methodologies

Valuation Methodologies DRAFT

William Blair performed several analyses each of which is preliminary in nature and contains assumptions and methodologies which may be subject to change

Comparable Public Companies Analysis

Trading multiple analysis based on companies that William Blair considered similar to the Company based on the selected companies’ operations

M&A Transactions Analysis

Transaction multiple analysis based on transactions that William Blair considered similar to the proposed acquisition based on the target operations

Discounted Cash Flow Analysis

Utilized the Company’s fiscal 2004 – 2008 projections to derive free cash flows for the Company and discounted those cash flows, along with a terminal value based on a multiple of 6.0x – 9.0x EBITDA, back to March 31, 2004

Leveraged Buyout Analysis

Utilized the Company’s 2004 – 2008 forecasts to analyze the values that a typical LBO could be completed under established return parameters using five year exit multiples of 6.0x – 9.0x EBITDA

Valuation Methodologies

Financial Information Used in Preliminary Valuation DRAFT

The preliminary valuation is based on the following historical financial information:

EBIT and EBITDA as reported in the Company’s public filings (“GAAP Historical Financial Information”)

EBIT and EBITDA as reported in the Company’s 10-Ks adjusted for (i) charges classified as ‘strategic charges’ in fiscal 1999 – 2002 and (ii) charges highlighted by the Company in the fiscal 2003 10-K (in aggregate totaling $6.9 million) related to a product recall, a discontinued acquisition, reorganization of the Watercraft and Outdoor Equipment businesses, closing of a facility and write-downs for certain inventory, tooling and equipment (“Adjusted Historical Financial Information”)

Based on the forecasts obtained from the Company (“Management Forecast”) and the fact that the Company’s historical GAAP EBIT has trailed budgeted EBIT by an average of 29% for the last three fiscal years, the EBIT in the 2006 – 2008 period has been discounted by a factor of 15% reflecting an alternative scenario (“Alternative Forecast”)

The Management Forecast reflects a favorable adjustment to EBIT and EBITDA of $500,000 in fiscal 2004 related to adjustments for certain budgeted items identified by the Company related to (i) costs to respond to the bid by the Johnson Group and (ii) a one-time gain related to a legal settlement

William Blair assumed the following preliminary valuation parameters:

Terminal EBITDA multiples ranging from 6.0x to 9.0x Discount rates ranging from 11.0% to 13.0% Discounted to March 31, 2004
