PART I


Item 1. Business


Basic Business

Briggs & Stratton Corporation is the world's largest producer of air cooled
gasoline engines for outdoor power equipment. The Company designs,
manufactures, markets and services these products for original equipment
manufacturers worldwide. For many years, the Company was also the world's
largest producer of locks for automobiles and trucks. On February 27, 1995,
this automotive lock business was spun off to shareholders. For fiscal 1995,
engines, parts and related products accounted for 95% of sales. These engines
were air cooled aluminum alloy gasoline engines ranging from 3 through 20
horsepower. The remaining 5% of sales was provided by Briggs & Stratton
Technologies, the former lock division.

Engines

In fiscal 1995, approximately 84% of original equipment gasoline engine sales
were to manufacturers of lawn and garden equipment; approximately 16% were to
manufacturers of other powered equipment, primarily for the construction
industry and for agriculture. In the United States and Canada, engine sales are
primarily made directly to original equipment manufacturers.

Sales to the Company's largest engine customer, MTD Products Inc., were 18% of
total sales in fiscal 1995. Sales to its second largest customer, Tomkins PLC,
were 14% of sales and sales to its third largest customer, A B Electrolux, were
12% of sales. Under purchasing plans available to all gasoline engine
customers, the Company normally enters into annual engine supply agreements
with these producers of end products powered by the Company's gasoline engines.
Company management has no reason to anticipate a change from the continuation
of this practice or in its historical business relationships with these
companies.

The major domestic competitors of the Company in engine manufacturing are
Tecumseh Products Company, Kohler Co., Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd., Honda
Motor Co., Ltd. and Onan Corporation. Also, two domestic lawn mower
manufacturers, Toro Co. under its Lawn-Boy brand and Honda, manufacture their
own engines. Eight Japanese small engine manufacturers, of which Honda and
Kawasaki are the largest, are worldwide competitors not only in the sale of
engines, but end products as well. Tecnamotor S.p.A., located in Italy and
owned by Tecumseh, is a major competitor in Europe. Major areas of competition
from all engine manufacturers are product quality, price, timely delivery and
service. The Company believes its product quality and service reputation have
given it the strong brand name identification it enjoys.

Servicing of all the Company's gasoline engine products is done by a network of
over 35,000 independent service parts distribution and repair outlets in the
United States and Canada and many foreign countries.

Manufacturing activity in the lawn and garden industry is driven by the need to
deliver new lawn mowers, garden tractors and tillers for retail sales in the
spring and early summer. Thus, demand from customers is at its height in their
winter and spring manufacturing season. Most engines are manufactured to
individual customer specifications. The Company offers financial incentives to
its OEMs to specify standardized engines; to take delivery during the off
season; and to commit early, for delivery at specific times during the busy
season. These programs, designed to level manufacturing activity, cause the
Company to build inventories of finished engines in the first and second
quarters. Thus, sales generally are highest in the March quarter and weakest in
the September quarter. Customer orders in the last three months of the fiscal
year depend on spring retail sales, so the June quarter is the least
predictable.

General

The Company manufactures a majority of the components used in its products and
purchases the balance of its requirements. The Company manufactures its own
ductile and grey iron castings, aluminum die castings and a high percentage of
other major components, such as carburetors and ignition systems. The Company
also purchases certain finished standard commercial parts such as piston rings,
spark plugs, valves, zinc die castings and plastic components, some stampings
and screw machine parts and smaller quantities of other components. Raw
material purchases are for aluminum, steel, and brass. The Company believes its
sources of supply are adequate.

The Company holds certain patents on features incorporated in its products;
however, the success of the Company's business is not considered to be
primarily dependent upon patent protection. Licenses, franchises and
concessions are not a material factor in the Company's business. For the years
ending July 2, 1995, July 3, 1994 and June 27, 1993, the Company spent
approximately $13,112,000, $12,520,000 and $10,411,000, respectively, on
Company sponsored research activities relating to the development of new
products or the improvement of existing products.

The average number of persons employed by the Company during the fiscal year
was 8,584. Employment ranged from a low of 6,958 in June 1995 to a high of
9,506 in January 1995.

Financial Information About Industry Segments

Financial information about industry segments appears in Note 3 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements in the 1995 Annual Report to Shareholders and
is incorporated herein by reference.

Export Sales

Export sales for fiscal 1995 were $312,234,000 (23% of total sales), for fiscal
1994 were $264,866,000 (21% of total sales) and for fiscal 1993 were
$249,610,000 (22% of total sales). These sales were principally to customers in
European countries.

Item 2. Properties

The corporate offices as well as the Company's largest engine manufacturing
facility are located in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, a suburb of Milwaukee. Three
other facilities located in the Milwaukee metropolitan area are used for
production, warehousing and distribution of engines and engine parts. These are
owned facilities containing approximately 3,232,000 square feet of office,
warehouse and production area. Engines also are manufactured at a 295,000
square foot owned facility in Murray, Kentucky and a 236,000 square foot owned
facility in Poplar Bluff, Missouri.

The Company has four plants under construction. These are located in Rolla,
Missouri; Auburn, Alabama; Statesboro, Georgia and Ravenna, Michigan. The
plants, when completed in fiscal 1996, will allow the Company to better serve
its customers through added capacity and closer proximity to customer assembly
plants.

The engine business is seasonal, with demand for engines at its height in the
winter and early spring. Engine manufacturing operations run at capacity levels
during the peak season, with many operations running three shifts. Engine
operations generally run one shift in the summer, when demand is weakest and
production is considerably under capacity. During the winter, when finished
goods inventories reach their highest levels, owned warehouse space may be
insufficient and capacity may be expanded through rented space. Excess
warehouse space exists in the spring and summer seasons. The Company's owned
properties are well maintained.

The Company leases 173,000 square feet of space to house its European warehouse
in the Netherlands and its foreign sales and service operations in Australia,
Canada, France, Germany, New Zealand, Sweden, Switzerland and the United
Kingdom.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

There are no pending legal proceedings that are required to be reported under
this item.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders, through the
solicitation of proxies or otherwise, during the three months ended July 2,
1995.
