NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

General Information

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and therefore do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. However, in the opinion of Briggs & Stratton Corporation, adequate disclosures have been presented to make the information not misleading, and all adjustments necessary to present fair statements of the results of operations and financial position have been included. All of these adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto which were included in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Common Stock

Briggs & Stratton repurchased 1,733,200 common shares at a total cost of $48.2 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2007. No shares were repurchased during the second quarter of fiscal 2007 or the first six-months of fiscal 2006. The timing and amount of future repurchases will depend on the market price of the stock and certain governing loan covenants.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share, for each period presented, is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share, for each period presented, is computed reflecting the potential dilution that would occur if options or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock at the beginning of the period.

Shares outstanding used to compute diluted earnings per share for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2006 excluded approximately 149,000 and 144,000 shares, respectively, for restricted and deferred stock as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. For the quarter and six months ended January 1, 2006, there was no restricted or deferred stock excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. Outstanding options to purchase approximately 3,443,000 and 3,317,000 shares of common stock for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2006, respectively, were excluded, as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. In the prior fiscal year for the quarter and six months ended January 1, 2006, outstanding options to purchase approximately 1,504,000 and 1,422,000 shares of common stock, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because the options’ exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares.

Derivatives

Derivatives are recorded on the balance sheet as assets or liabilities, measured at fair value. Briggs & Stratton enters into derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges to manage its foreign currency exposures. These instruments generally do not have a maturity of more than twelve months.

Changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges are recorded on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income or as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The amounts included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income will be reclassified into income when the forecasted transactions occur, generally within the next twelve months. These forecasted transactions represent the exporting of products for which Briggs & Stratton will receive foreign currency and the importing of products for which it will be required to pay in a foreign currency. Changes in the fair value of all derivatives deemed to be ineffective are recorded as either income or expense in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income.

Briggs & Stratton manages its exposure to fluctuation in the cost of natural gas used by its operating facilities through participation in a third party managed dollar cost averaging program linked to NYMEX futures. As a participant in the program, Briggs & Stratton hedges a minimum of 50% of its anticipated monthly natural gas usage along with a pool of other companies. Briggs & Stratton does not hold any actual futures contracts, and actual delivery of natural gas is not required of the participants in the program. Cash settlements occur on a monthly basis based on the difference between the average dollar price of the underlying NYMEX futures held by the third party and the actual price of natural gas paid by Briggs & Stratton in the period. The fair value of the underlying NYMEX futures is reflected as an asset or liability on the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. Changes in fair value are reflected as a Component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which are reclassified into the income statement as the monthly cash settlements occur and actual natural gas is consumed.

Briggs & Stratton is not required to make any contributions to the pension plans in fiscal 2007 and did not make any contributions in fiscal 2006; however, the Company expects to contribute up to $12 million in fiscal 2007 as approved by the Board of Directors. During the six months ended December 31, 2006, the Company contributed $8.0 million to the pension plans.

Briggs & Stratton expects to make benefit payments of approximately $1.7 million for its non-qualified pension plans during fiscal 2007. During the six months ended December 31, 2006, Briggs & Stratton made payments of approximately $0.7 million for its non-qualified pension plans. Briggs & Stratton anticipates benefit payments of approximately $35 million for its other postretirement benefit plans during fiscal 2007. During the six months ended December 31, 2006, Briggs & Stratton had made payments of $17.2 million for its other postretirement benefit plans.

Commitments and Contingencies

Briggs & Stratton is subject to various unresolved legal actions that arise in the normal course of its business. These actions typically relate to product liability (including asbestos-related liability), patent and trademark matters, and disputes with customers, suppliers, distributors and dealers, competitors and employees.

BRIGGS & STRATTON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

On June 3, 2004, eight individuals who claim to have purchased lawnmowers in Illinois and Minnesota filed a lawsuit (Ronnie Phillips et al. v. Sears Roebuck Corporation et al., No. 04-L-334 (20th Judicial Circuit, St. Clair County, IL)) against Briggs & Stratton and other defendants alleging that the horsepower labels on the products they purchased were inaccurate. The plaintiffs have amended their complaint several times and currently seek an injunction, compensatory and punitive damages, and attorneys’ fees under various Federal and state laws including the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act on behalf of all persons in the United States who, beginning January 1, 1994 through the present, purchased a lawnmower containing a two-stroke or four-stroke gasoline combustion engine up to 30 horsepower that was manufactured by the defendants. On May 31, 2006, the defendants removed the case to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Illinois (No. 06-412-DRH). The defendants subsequently filed cross claims against each other for indemnification and contribution and filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint.

Although it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome of these unresolved legal actions or the range of possible loss, Briggs & Stratton believes these unresolved legal actions will not have a material effect on its financial position.

Financial Information of Subsidiary Guarantor of Indebtedness

In June 1997, Briggs & Stratton issued $100 million of 7.25% senior notes; in May 2001, Briggs & Stratton issued $275 million of 8.875% senior notes; and in February 2005, Briggs & Stratton issued $125 million of variable rate term notes. In addition, Briggs & Stratton has a $350 million revolving credit facility that expires in May 2009 that is used to finance seasonal working capital needs.

Under the terms of Briggs & Stratton’s 8.875% senior notes, 7.25% senior notes, variable rate term notes, and the revolving credit agreement (collectively, the “Domestic Indebtedness”), Briggs & Stratton Power Products Group, LLC and its wholly owned subsidiary, Simplicity Manufacturing, Inc., are joint and several guarantors of the Domestic Indebtedness (the “Guarantor”). The guarantees are full and unconditional guarantees. Additionally, if at any time a domestic subsidiary of Briggs & Stratton constitutes a significant domestic subsidiary, then such domestic subsidiary will also become a guarantor of the Domestic Indebtedness. Currently, all of the Domestic Indebtedness is unsecured. If Briggs & Stratton were to fail to make a payment of interest or principal on its due date, the Guarantor is obligated to pay the outstanding Domestic Indebtedness. Briggs & Stratton had the following outstanding amounts related to the guaranteed debt (in thousands):


	December 31, 2006 Carrying Amount		Maximum Guarantee

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following is management’s discussion and analysis of Briggs & Stratton’s financial condition and results of operations for the periods included in the accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SALES

Consolidated net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 totaled $423 million, a decrease of $151 million or 26% when compared to fiscal 2006.

Second quarter net sales for the Engines Segment were $279 million versus $381 million in fiscal 2006, a decrease of $102 million or 27%. The decrease in net sales primarily results from a 30% reduction in engine unit shipments in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 as compared to the same period last year. The absence of significant landed hurricanes during fiscal 2007 resulted in lower engine unit shipments to original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) for the production of generators. In addition, OEMs of lawn and garden equipment adjusted production schedules to manufacture product closer to the spring selling season, and as a result, some engine shipments shifted to the second half of fiscal 2007.

Second quarter fiscal 2007 Power Products Segment net sales were $170 million, a decrease of $86 million or 34% from fiscal 2006. Generator unit shipments were lower by over 60% during the second quarter of fiscal 2007 due to the absence of significant landed hurricane activity during fiscal 2007. The reduction in demand for generators accounts for about 20% of the 34% reduction in segment net sales during the quarter. The remainder of the decrease in net sales for the Power Products Segment is attributed to lawn and garden equipment sold under the Murray brand. During fiscal 2006, the wind-down of Murray operations was completed, and as a result, fiscal 2007 second quarter sales for Murray branded product are lower.

Consolidated net sales for the first six-months of fiscal 2007 totaled $761 million, a decrease of $325 million or 30%, compared to the first six months of last year.

Engines Segment net sales for the first six-months of fiscal 2007 were $469 million, a decrease of $198 million or 30% from fiscal 2006. Reduced sales during the first six-months of fiscal 2007 result from a decline in engine unit shipments of nearly 33%. The reduction in unit shipments was the result of two primary factors, which have led to lower OEM demand for engines. The first factor was the absence of significant landed hurricanes during fiscal 2007, and the second was a shift in OEM production schedules closer to the spring selling season. Consistent with second quarter fiscal 2007 results, these factors negatively impacted both unit volumes and segment net sales.

Power Products Segment net sales for the first six months of fiscal 2007 were $357 million versus $557 million in the prior year, a decrease of $200 million or 36%. Unit shipments of generators declined over 50% during the first six-months of fiscal 2007, and the decline in segment net sales associated with generators was approximately 56%. The remaining decline in net sales resulted primarily from a reduction in sales of $82 million in Murray branded product due to the wind-down of operations.

BRIGGS & STRATTON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

GROSS PROFIT MARGIN

The consolidated gross profit margin in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 decreased to 15.9% from 20.4% in the same period last year.

Engines Segment margins decreased to 19.1% in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 from 24.6% in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. The decline in gross profit margins is attributed primarily to the combination of reduced fixed cost absorption associated with lower production levels and higher material costs experienced during the quarter. Decreased engine production was due primarily to diminished engine demand for the production of generators and a program to lower production in an effort to reduce on hand engine inventories. In addition, the increase in the costs of commodities such as aluminum and zinc and other components used to manufacture engines led to higher material costs.

The Power Products Segment gross profit margin decreased to 7.9% for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 from 10.3% in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. Increases in commodity and component costs in the segment coupled with reduced production levels and fixed cost absorption as a result of lower generator sales are the main causes for the gross profit margin decline during the second quarter of fiscal 2007. These negative factors more than offset improved gross profit contributions during the second quarter of fiscal 2007 of $4 million associated with Murray branded product.

The consolidated gross profit margin for the six-month period decreased to 14.7% in fiscal 2007 from 18.3% in fiscal 2006.

Engines Segment gross profit margin for the six-month period decreased to 16.7% in fiscal 2007 from 23.0% in fiscal 2006. The absence of over $5 million in gains recorded on the disposition of operating assets in fiscal 2006 accounts for a portion of the decline in gross profit margin during the first half of fiscal 2007. The remaining decrease in gross profit margin is attributed to increased commodity costs and reduced production levels and fixed cost absorption, resulting from lower demand for engines from OEMs.

Power Products Segment margins for the six-month period increased to 9.4% in fiscal 2007 from 8.2% in fiscal 2006. Negative gross profit in the first six-months of fiscal 2006 associated with the winding down of a transition supply agreement with the estate of Murray, Inc. did not occur in the first six-months of fiscal 2007, resulting in favorable gross profit margin contributions of nearly $16 million during the first six-months of fiscal 2007 as compared to the prior year. Increases in gross profit margin associated with Murray branded products were partially offset by increased commodity and component costs along with decreased fixed cost absorption due to decreased generator production.

ENGINEERING, SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Engineering, selling, general and administrative expenses were $65 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2007, versus $79 million in fiscal 2006. The $14 million decrease is attributable largely to a reduction in legal and professional services of $5 million and reduced employee costs associated with salaries and benefits expenses of approximately $6 million.

For the six-months of fiscal 2007 as compared to fiscal 2006, engineering, selling, general and administrative expenses were $131 million and $149 million, respectively. The $18 million decrease resulted primarily from lower legal and professional services of $7 million and a decline in employee costs associated with salaries and benefits expenses of approximately $7 million.

BRIGGS & STRATTON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense was $11.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2007, versus $11.3 million in fiscal 2006. The increase resulted from higher variable interest rates between years and higher average borrowings. Interest expense was $20.9 million in the first six-months of fiscal 2007, versus $21.3 million in fiscal 2006. The decrease in interest expense resulted primarily from lower average borrowings during the first six months of fiscal 2007 as compared to fiscal 2006.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006 was 30% and 35%, respectively. The decrease in the rate in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 as compared to fiscal 2006 resulted from an adjustment in the expected annual effective tax rate recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 due to changes in fiscal 2007 forecasted results. Management expects that the effective tax rate for the full year will be in the range of 32% to 34%. For the first six-months of fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006, the effective tax rate was 33.4% and 35.0%, respectively. The estimated rate in the current year is attributable to factors such as forecasted operating earnings by taxing jurisdiction, anticipated dividend income and foreign tax credit considerations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash used in operating activities for the six-month period of fiscal 2007 was $241 million as compared to $228 million for fiscal 2006. The lower fiscal 2007 cash flows from operating activities are primarily the result of reduced operating earnings for both the Engines and Power Products Segments. The reduced operating earnings were partially offset by favorable changes in working capital accounts. During the first six-months of fiscal 2007 changes to working capital accounts including inventory, accounts payable, and accounts receivable resulted in a $22 million increase in cash flows from operating activities as compared to the first six-months of fiscal 2006. The changes in inventory accounts and accounts receivable are a result of the timing of production and shipments to OEMs. The change in accounts payable is due to the timing of payments.

In the six-month period of fiscal 2007, there was $29 million of cash used for investing activities as compared to $18 million in fiscal 2006. The increase in the use of cash for investing activities is primarily a result of the absence of proceeds for a building sale and a refund of acquisition related funds received, both of which occurred in fiscal 2006 but did not repeat in fiscal 2007.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $211 million in fiscal 2007 versus $124 million in fiscal 2006, an increase of $87 million. The increase in cash provided by financing activities is attributable to increased net borrowings of $137 million to fund working capital requirements and to repurchase 1.7 million treasury shares for approximately $48 million. Dividends of $11 million were paid during both the first six-months of fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2007.

FUTURE LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Briggs & Stratton has a $350 million revolving credit facility that expires in May 2009. The credit facility is used to fund seasonal working capital requirements and other financing needs. As of the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2007, the unused availability of the revolving credit facility is approximately $80 million. This credit facility and Briggs and Stratton’s other indebtedness contain restrictive covenants as described in Note 8 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. As of the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2007, Briggs & Stratton was in compliance with these covenants.

BRIGGS & STRATTON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

On August 10, 2006, Briggs & Stratton announced its intent to initiate repurchases of up to $120 million of its common stock through open market transactions during fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2008. The timing and amount of actual purchases will depend upon the market price of the stock and certain governing loan covenants. As of January 31, 2007, approximately $48 million of common stock has been repurchased under this plan.

Management expects cash outflows for capital expenditures to be approximately $80 million in fiscal 2007. These anticipated expenditures provide for continued investment in equipment and new products. In fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2008, a manufacturing facility in Newbern, Tennessee will be established to produce end products for the Power Products Segment. Equipping the Newbern facility is expected to cost between $18 and $22 million of which $6 million is expected to be spent in fiscal 2007 with the remainder spent in the subsequent year. These expenditures will be funded using available cash.

Management believes that available cash, the credit facility, cash generated from operations, existing lines of credit and access to debt markets will be adequate to fund capital requirements for the foreseeable future.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

There have been no material changes since the September 1, 2006, filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

There have been no material changes since the September 1, 2006, filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

There have been no material changes in Briggs & Stratton’s critical accounting policies since the September 1, 2006 filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K. As discussed in our annual report, the preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results inevitably will differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the financial statements.

The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial statements include estimates as to the recovery of accounts receivable and inventory reserves, as well as estimates used in the determination of liabilities related to customer rebates, pension obligations, postretirement benefits, warranty, product liability, group health insurance and taxation. Various assumptions and other factors underlie the determination of these significant estimates. The process of determining significant estimates is fact specific and takes into account factors such as historical experience, current and expected economic conditions, product mix, and, in some instances, actuarial techniques. Briggs & Stratton re-evaluates these significant factors as facts and circumstances change.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

On July 13, 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109”. Interpretation 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109 and prescribes a standard methodology for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Interpretation 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, with early adoption permitted.
