PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Arctic Cat Inc., a Minnesota corporation, (the Company or Arctic Cat, or we our or us), is based in Thief River Falls, Minnesota with
principal executive offices in Plymouth, Minnesota. We operate in a single industry segment and design, engineer, manufacture and market snowmobiles and all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) under the Arctic
Cat® brand name, as well as related parts, garments and accessories. We market our products through a network of
independent dealers located throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe and through distributors representing dealers in Europe, South America, the Middle East, Asia and other international markets. The Arctic Cat brand name has existed for
50 years and is among the most widely recognized and respected names in the snowmobile industry. Our common stock trades on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol ACAT.

Industry Background

SnowmobilesThe snowmobile, developed in
the 1950s, was originally intended to be used as a utility vehicle, but today the overwhelming majority of the industrys sales are for recreational use. Between the late 1950s and early 1970s, the industry expanded dramatically, reaching a
peak of over 100 manufacturers and a high of nearly 495,000 units sold to retail customers in North America in 1971. Today the number of major industry participants has decreased to four: Arctic Cat, Bombardier Recreational Products Inc.
(BRP), Polaris Industries Inc. (Polaris) and Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. (Yamaha). We believe there are currently more significant barriers to entry into the snowmobile market than existed in the 1970s. These barriers
include increased brand loyalty, long-standing dealer and distributor networks and relationships, emission regulations, four-stroke engine development costs, manufacturing and engineering expertise and higher initial start-up costs. Industry-wide
snowmobile sales to retail customers in North America were approximately 93,000 units for the 2011 model year.

ATVsThe ATV industry evolved from the three-wheel model that was developed in the early 1970s to the four-wheel models that
are sold today. The most popular ATV use is general recreation, followed by farming/ranching, hunting/fishing, hauling/towing, transportation, and commercial use. From 1970 to 1986, the number of ATVs sold in the United States continued to grow
until reaching an initial peak of 535,000 units in 1986. From 1987 to 1991, the number of ATVs sold declined to a low of approximately 147,000 units. From 1991 to 2004, sales of ATVs grew to 814,000 units; however, ATV sales have declined each year
since, primarily driven by overall weak economic conditions and the shift to side-by-side vehicles. Industry-wide sales were 257,000 units in the United States and 56,000 units in Canada in calendar 2010. In addition to the U.S. and Canada, ATVs are
also sold in numerous international markets including Europe, Russia, Australia, and Latin America. Major competitors in the industry include Yamaha, BRP, Polaris, Honda Motor Co., Ltd. (Honda), Kawasaki Motors Corp.
(Kawasaki) and Suzuki Motor Corporation (Suzuki). In addition to these companies, multiple other companies, including numerous Chinese and Taiwanese manufacturers also sell ATVs.

Products

SnowmobilesWe produce a full line of snowmobiles, consisting of 35 models, marketed under the Arctic Cat brand name, and
designed to satisfy all market segments. The 2011 Arctic Cat models carry suggested U.S. retail prices ranging from $6,999 to $14,999 excluding a youth model which is sold at a suggested U.S. retail price of $2,599. Arctic Cat snowmobiles are sold
in the United States, Canada, Scandinavia, Russia and other international markets.

Our 2011 year snowmobile models are
categorized as Performance, Crossover, Mountain, Touring and Utility. We market: Performance models under the names F series, CFR, Z1, Z1 Turbo and Sno Pro; Crossover models under the name Crossfire; Mountain models under the name M series; Touring
models under the name T series; and Utility models under the name Bearcat. In addition, to encourage family involvement in snowmobiling, we offer a youth snowmobile marketed under the Sno Pro 120 name.

##### Table of Contents

We believe the Arctic Cat brand name enjoys a premier image among snowmobile enthusiasts and
that our snowmobiles have a long-standing reputation for quality, performance, fuel management, style, comfort, ride and handling. Our snowmobiles offer a wide range of standard and optional features which enhance their operation, riding comfort and
performance. Such features include electronic fuel injection (EFI), direct drive, hydraulic disc brakes, remote starters, heated seats, and a technologically advanced front and rear suspension. We were the first in the snowmobile industry to utilize
four-stroke engines to reduce emissions. We subsequently introduced a snowmobile with a 177 horsepower turbo charged EFI four stroke inter-cooled engine, the most powerful production snowmobile engine in history, and for the 2007 model year, the
first four-stroke engine designed specifically for a snowmobile.

We focus on new product development in order to grow our
market share and introduce at least one new model every year. These new models are consistently our best sellers in their respective category. In the 2011 model year, approximately 80 percent of our snowmobile sales were from models or model
variations not available three years earlier. Some recent examples of the success of our new products include the following: American Snowmobiler voted the 2011 Sno Pro 500 the Editors Choice of the Year and the TZ1 Turbo LXR the
Best Touring Snowmobile; Sledhead 24-7 Television voted the 2011 TZ1 Turbo Touring the Touring Sled of the Year. Arctic Cat snowmobiles won numerous events and championship points titles in the 2011 model year in all
major disciplines of racing including snocross, cross-country, oval, and hillclimb.

For the last three fiscal years ended
2011, 2010 and 2009 snowmobiles accounted for 39%, 36% and 37%, respectively, of our revenues.

1995, we introduced our first ATV. Since that time, our line has grown to 31 models. Features like fully independent front and rear suspensions, hydraulic disc brakes, hi-low range transmission, long travel suspension with high ground clearance, MRP
Speedracks, automatic transmissions, selectable 2WD/4WD shaft drive, locking differentials, EFI, a large fuel tank, and power steering, all make our ATVs consumer friendly. We also have special two rider models that provide a proper alternative
for customers that want to ride double on an ATV. In 2007, we introduced the industrys first diesel ATV, capable of using biodiesel fuels and in 2008 we introduced the Thundercat 1000, the ATV with the largest displacement engine in the
industry. During fiscal 2011, we launched our new value line-up of ATVs which included the 350 4X4 automatic with an MSRP of $5,499 and the 425 EFI 4X4 automatic with an MSRP of $5,999. In addition, we also launched the XC450i, a crossover model for
consumers seeking 4-wheel drive capabilities in a sport ATV. The 2011 Arctic Cat ATV models carry suggested U.S. retail prices ranging from $3,999 to $13,799, excluding youth models which are sold at suggested U.S. retail prices ranging from $2,699
to $3,399.

Side x Side Vehicles, Recreational Off-highway Vehicles (ROVs)We introduced our new
Prowler Utility side by side vehicle into the utility segment in 2006. The Prowler is configured with a variety of different engines that range in size from 550cc to 1000cc that are manufactured by us, and also includes a rear cargo box, dual bucket
seats as well as our renowned long travel suspension and ride characteristics. For fiscal 2011, we launched our first heavy duty utility side by side vehicle, the Prowler HDX, with an extended chassis, extra large cargo box, bench seating and power
steering standard. In fiscal 2011 the side by side line-up consisted of four models, including the HDX, with retail prices of $10,999 to $15,599.

International ATV MarketsWe have continued to expand into international markets by focusing on new product development, adding new distributors, entering new territories, and developing new
markets. In July 2005, we acquired a 100% interest in a European company to strengthen our European presence and further expand our ATV model offerings for on-road use, the most prevalent use in Europe. In addition, multiple new distributors were
added in fiscal year 2011 to include distributors located in Russia, Argentina, Chile and Saudi Arabia.

AwardsWe
believe our ATVs are recognized for their power, durability, utility, suspension and style. In 2006, All Terrain Vehicle Magazine awarded the Arctic Cat 250 the best entry level ATV and the Arctic Cat

TRV as the best value. Farm Industry News awarded the Arctic Cat 400 4X4 best ground clearance in class. In 2007, ATV Magazine crowned the Arctic Cat Prowler XT the best trail
recreational side-by-side. In 2008, ATV Magazine nominated the Thundercat as ATV of the Year and All Terrain Vehicle Magazine voted the Prowler XTX 700 as Best UTV in the Industry. Also in 2008, Affinity Powersports Media voted
the Thundercat Best in Class. In 2009, All Terrain Vehicle Magazine voted Prowler 550 Best In Class, which is the third consecutive year the Prowler was voted best UTV. In 2010, ATV Magazine voted the Prowler XTZ 1000 the
Overall Work and Play category winner, Dirt Trax Televisionvoted the 450 FIS the shoot-out winner and ATV Magazine voted the 300 the shoot-out winner. Racers driving the Arctic Cat Prowler side by side swept first and
second place in the 2008 Baja 1000 with the XTZ1000 and the XTX700. This was the first time a ROV had won this grueling terrain race. Again in 2009, the Prowler delivered another record-setting performance and swept the entire 2009 SCORE Series,
including the Baja 250, 500 and 1000.

For the last three fiscal years ended 2011, 2010, and 2009, ATVs accounted for 39%,
42%, and 44%, respectively, of our revenues.

Parts, Garments and AccessoriesWe are the exclusive provider of
genuine Arctic Cat Snowmobile, ATV and ROV parts, garments and accessories. Replacement parts for all of our current and noncurrent models of Snowmobiles, ATVs and ROVs are an important part of our product mix along with maintenance supplies such as
oil and fuel additives. We also sell a broad array of accessories such as bumpers, cabs, luggage racks, lights, snow plows, backrests, windshields, wheels, track systems and winch kits that consumers buy to increase their comfort factor, shorten
their task or personalize their ride. In addition to genuine Arctic Cat parts and accessories, we sell market leading brands in various categories such as Fox Float shocks, Speedpoint attachments and BCA Float Avalanche Airbags.

We offer snowmobile garments for adults and children under the Arcticwear and Drift Racing labels. Suits,
jackets, pants and accessory garments are produced and sold in a wide variety of styles and sizes combining fashion with function. The Arcticwear line of clothing encompasses wearables designed to keep the rider warm and dry during the most
demanding snowmobile conditions (insulated outerwear, hats, mittens, helmets, boots) and comfortable relaxing after the ride (sweatshirts, T-shirts, casual wear). The snowmobile garment line includes multiple options with varying levels of
performance (insulation warmth, waterproofing, breathability)to answer the consumer needs in most weather conditions.

Drift Racing garments were launched two years ago to compete with the aftermarket brands and to provide riders of multiple brands of
snowmobiles a high performing, fashionable outerwear option. Since that time we have expanded our Drift Racing line (insulated jackets similar to those worn by the snowmobile racers) and have also added more general outerwear options to the
Arcticwear line (down filled parkas).

For ATV and ROV riders, we manufacture and sell garments under the Arcticwear ATV
Gear label. This line of clothing is geared toward function and comfort and includes suits, jackets, gloves, helmets, gear bags, sweatshirts, T-shirts, and caps. While the trend to wear what you ride is much stronger with the
snowmobile customer than with the ATV and ROV customer we continue to successfully expand our lines with more performance geared clothing to provide more rider comfort.

For the last three fiscal years ended 2011, 2010 and 2009 parts, garments and accessories accounted for 22%, 22% and 19%, respectively, of our revenues.

Manufacturing, Engineering and Research and Development

Arctic Cat snowmobiles and most ATVs are manufactured at our facilities in Thief River Falls, Minnesota. A Taiwanese company manufactures 90cc to 450cc ATVs for us. We have a facility in Bucyrus, Ohio
which houses our parts, garments and accessories distribution operations. We have strategically identified specific core manufacturing competencies for vertical integration and have chosen outside suppliers to provide other parts. We



5

##### Table of Contents

have developed relationships with selected high quality suppliers in order to obtain access to particular capabilities and technologies outside the scope of our expertise. We design component
parts often in cooperation with our suppliers, contract with them for the development of tooling, and then enter into agreements with these suppliers to purchase component parts manufactured utilizing the tooling. In our vertically integrated
operations, we manufacture foam seats and machine, weld, and paint other components. We complete the total assembly of most of our products at our facilities in Thief River Falls. Manufacturing operations include robotics as well as digital and
computer automated equipment to speed production, reduce costs and improve the quality, fit and finish of every product.

During late fiscal 2005, we began manufacturing certain of our own designed ATV engines as part of a strategic first step in a new engine
program. We believe that having the capability to design and manufacture our own ATV engines enables us to offer customers more choices, provide excellent value, lower Japanese yen currency exposure and enhance our long-term competitive position. In
2007, we transitioned our engine manufacturing from the Thief River Falls facility to our new facility in St. Cloud, Minnesota.

Suzuki has manufactured snowmobile engines for us pursuant to supply agreements which have been automatically renewed annually unless terminated. On June 4, 2010 we signed an agreement under which we
will discontinue the purchase of snowmobile engines from Suzuki after December 31, 2013(2014 model year). Suzuki will continue to provide replacement parts for engines through December 2020. Suzuki has been a good long-term supplier of
snowmobile engines. However, this new agreement will allow us to gain more control of our products and enhance our ability to meet regulatory and performance requirements. We will expand our snowmobile engine design capabilities, work with a variety
of suppliers for various engine component parts, as well as better utilize the current engine manufacturing capacity at our St. Cloud facility.

Since we began snowmobile production, we have followed a build-to-order policy to control inventory levels. Under this policy, we only manufacture a number of snowmobiles equivalent to the orders received
from our dealers and distributors, plus a number of uncommitted units used for dealer and market development, in-house testing and miscellaneous promotional purposes.

Most sales of snowmobiles to retail customers begin in the early fall and continue during the winter. Orders by dealers and distributors for each years production are placed in the spring following
dealer and distributor meetings. Snowmobiles are built commencing in the late spring and continuing through late autumn.

Retail sales of ATVs and ROVs occur throughout the year with seasonal highs occurring in the spring and fall. We build and purchase ATVs
and build ROVs throughout the year to coincide with dealer and consumer demand.

We are committed to an ongoing engineering
and research and development program dedicated to innovation and to continued improvements in the quality and performance of our products as well as new product introduction. We currently employ 131 individuals in the design and development of new
and existing products, with an additional 22 individuals directly involved in the testing of snowmobiles, ATVs and ROVs in normal and extraordinary conditions. In addition, these units are tested in conditions and locations similar to those in which
they are used. We use computer aided design and manufacturing systems to shorten the time between initial concept and final production. For fiscal years ended 2011, 2010 and 2009, we spent approximately $15,029,000, $12,926,000 and $18,404,000,
respectively, on engineering, research and development. In addition, utilizing their particular expertise, our suppliers regularly test and apply new technologies to the design and production of component parts.

Sales and Marketing

Our
products are currently sold through an extensive network of independent dealers located throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe and through distributors representing dealers in Europe, South America, the Middle East, Asia and other
international markets. To promote new dealerships and to service our existing dealer network, we also employ district sales managers throughout the United States and Canada.

##### Table of Contents

Our dealers enter into a three year contract and are required to maintain status as an
authorized dealer in order to continue selling our products. To obtain and maintain such status, dealers are expected to order a sufficient number of snowmobiles, and/or ATVs and ROVs to adequately service their market area. In addition, the dealers
must perform service on these units and maintain satisfactory service performance levels, and their mechanics are expected to complete special training provided by us. Dealers are also expected to carry adequate levels of inventory of genuine Arctic
Cat parts, garments and accessories. As is typical in the industry, most of our dealers also sell some combination of motorcycles, marine products, lawn and garden products and other related products.

We utilize distributors in some countries outside the United States and Canada to take advantage of their knowledge and experience in
their respective markets and to increase market penetration of our products. Canadian sales are made in Canadian dollars, nearly all of which are financed through a Canadian financial institution. Most sales to distributors outside North America are
made in U.S. dollars and are supported to some extent by letters of credit.

Our sales and marketing efforts are comprised of
dealer and consumer promotions, direct advertising and cooperative advertising programs with our dealers. We and our distributors usually conduct dealer shows annually in order to introduce the upcoming years models and to promote dealer
orders. Marketing activities are designed to promote directly to consumers. Products are advertised and promoted by us in consumer magazines, online and through other media. In addition, we engage in extensive dealer cooperative advertising, on a
local and national level, whereby we and our dealers share advertising costs. Each season we produce product brochures, point of purchase displays, leaflets, posters and banners, and other promotional items for use by our dealers. We also
participate in key regional consumer shows and rallies with dealers and sponsors independent racers who participate in snowmobile races throughout the world. In order for our dealers and distributors to remain price competitive and to reduce retail
inventories, we will from time to time make available to them rebate programs, discounts, or other incentives. In order to build brand loyalty we publish online magazines called Pride (snowmobile) and Ride (ATV and Prowler).

We place strong emphasis on identifying and addressing the specific needs of our customers by periodically conducting dealer
and consumer focus group meetings and surveys.

We warrant our snowmobiles and ATVs under a limited warranty against defects
in materials and workmanship for a period generally ranging from six months to one year from the date of retail sale or for a period of 90 days from the date of commercial or rental use. Repairs or replacements under warranty are administered
through our dealers and distributors.

Competition

The snowmobile, ATV and ROV markets are highly competitive, based on a number of factors, including performance, ride, suspension, innovation, technology, styling, fit and finish, brand loyalty,
reliability, durability, price and distribution. We believe Arctic Cat snowmobiles, ATVs and ROVs are highly regarded by consumers in all of these competitive categories. Certain of our competitors are more diversified and have financial and
marketing resources which are substantially greater than ours. For a list of snowmobile and ATV competitors, please see Industry Background above.

Regulation

Both federal and state authorities have vigorous environmental
control requirements relating to air, water and noise pollution that affect our manufacturing operations. We endeavor to insure that our facilities comply with all applicable environmental regulations and standards.

Certain materials used in snowmobile, ATV and ROV manufacturing that are toxic, flammable, corrosive or reactive are classified by
federal and state governments as hazardous materials. Control of these substances is



7

##### Table of Contents

regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and various state pollution control agencies, which require reports and inspection of facilities to monitor compliance. Our manufacturing
facilities are subject to the regulations promulgated by, and may be inspected by, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has federal oversight over product safety issues related to snowmobiles, ATVs and ROVs and from time to time promulgates rules related to safety.
For example, in August 2006, the CPSC issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to establish mandatory safety standards for ATVs. The proposed rule became a mandatory rule under the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (the Act) passed
by Congress in August2008, and requires all ATV manufacturers to comply with certain safety standards, all of which we have been and are in compliance with. In October 2009, the CPSC issued an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to establish
mandatory safety standards for ROVs. The CPSC has not issued final rules in either of these matters. Various states have also promulgated safety regulations regarding snowmobiles, ATVs and ROVs, none of which have had a materially more burdensome
impact on us than CPSC regulations.

The Act also includes a provision that requires all manufacturers and distributors who
import into or distribute certain products in the United States to comply with provisions which limit the amount of lead paint and lead content that can exist in snowmobiles and ATVs designed and intended primarily for children 12 years of age and
younger and requires strict testing to determine relevant lead levels. We do not believe these restrictions have had or will have a material adverse effect on us or negatively impact our business to any greater degree than those of our competitors
that sell childrens products in the United States.

The EPA adopted regulations affecting snowmobiles and ATVs for model
years 2006 and beyond. We believe that we are and will be in compliance with these regulations. We support balanced and appropriate programs that educate the customer on the safe use of our products and protect the environment.

We are a member of the International Snowmobile Manufacturers Association (ISMA), a trade association formed to promote safety in the
manufacture and use of snowmobiles, among other things. The ISMA is currently made up of Arctic Cat, BRP, Yamaha, and Polaris. The ISMA members are also members of the Snowmobile Safety and Certification Committee (SSCC), which promulgates voluntary
safety standards for snowmobiles. The SSCC standards, which require testing and evaluation by an independent testing laboratory of each model category produced by participating snowmobile manufacturers, have been adopted by the Canadian Ministry of
Transport. Following the development of the SSCC standards, the U.S. CPSC denied a petition to develop a mandatory federal safety standard for snowmobiles in light of the high degree of adherence to the SSCC standards in the United States. Since our
inception, all of our models have complied with the SSCC standards.

We are a member of the Specialty Vehicle Institute of
America (SVIA), a trade association organized to foster and promote the safe and responsible use of ATVs manufactured and/or distributed throughout the United States. We are also a member of the Canadian Off-Highway Vehicle Distributors Council
(COHV), as well as the All-Terrain Vehicle Association Europe (ATVEA).

Effects of Weather

While from time to time lack of snowfall in a particular region may adversely affect snowmobile retail sales within that region, we work
to mitigate this effect by taking snowmobile orders in the spring for the following winter season. In the past, weather conditions have materially affected snowmobile sales and weather conditions may materially affect our future sales of
snowmobiles, ATVs, ROVs and parts, garments and accessories.

Employees

At March 31, 2011, we had 1,323 employees including 308 salaried and 1,015 hourly and production personnel. Our employees are
not represented by a union or subject to a collective bargaining agreement. We have never experienced a strike or work stoppage and consider our relations with our employees to be excellent.

Intellectual Property

We make an effort to patent significant innovations that we consider patentable and we own numerous patents for our snowmobiles, ATVs and other products. Trademarks are also important to our snowmobile,
ATV and related parts, garments and accessories business activities. We have a program of trademark enforcement to eliminate the unauthorized use of our trademarks, thereby strengthening their value. We believe that our Arctic Cat
registered trademark is our most significant trademark. Additionally, we have numerous registered trademarks, trade names and logos, both in the United States and internationally.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The following are significant factors known to us that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, or operating results, as
well as adversely affect the value of an investment in our common stock. These risks could cause our actual results to differ materially from our historical experience and from results predicted by forward-looking statements. All forward-looking
statements made by us are qualified by the risks described below. There may be additional risks that are not presently material or known. You should carefully consider each of the following risks and all other information set forth in this Annual
Report on Form 10-K.

General economic conditions and other external factors may adversely affect our industry and results of
operations

Companies within the snowmobile and ATV industry are subject to volatility in operating results due to external
factors such as general economic conditions, including high unemployment and economic recession. Specific factors affecting the industry include:



| |  |  | Overall consumer confidence and the level of discretionary consumer spending;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Interest rates and related higher dealer floorplan costs;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Sales incentives and promotional costs;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------



| |  |  | Adverse impact on margins due to increases in raw material and transportation costs which companies are unable to pass on to dealers without negatively
affecting sales; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------

Our products are subject to extensive federal and state safety, environmental and other government regulation that may require us to incur expenses or modify product offerings in order to maintain
compliance with the actions of regulators.

Our products are subject to extensive laws and regulations relating to safety,
environmental and other regulations promulgated by the U.S. and Canadian federal governments and individual states and provinces as well as international regulatory authorities. Although we believe that our snowmobiles and ATVs have always complied
with applicable vehicle safety and emissions standards and related regulations, future regulations may require additional safety standards or emission reductions that would require additional expenses and/or modification of product offerings in
order to maintain such compliance. Although we are unable to predict the ultimate impact of adopted or proposed regulations on our business and operating results, we believe that our business would be no more adversely affected than those of our
competitors by the adoption of any pending laws or regulations.

A significant adverse determination in any material product liability
claim against us could adversely affect our operating results or financial condition.

Accidents involving personal injury
and property damage occur in the use of snowmobiles and ATVs. Claims have been made against us from time to time. It is our policy to vigorously defend against these actions. We presently maintain product liability insurance on a per
occurrence basis (with coverage being provided in respect of accidents which occurred during the policy year, regardless of when the related claim is made) in the amount of $10,000,000 in the aggregate, with a $10,000,000 self-insured
retention. While we do not believe the outcome of any pending product liability litigation will have a material adverse effect on our operations, material product liability claims against us may be made in the future. Adverse determination of
material product liability claims made against us may adversely affect our operating results or financial condition.

Significant repair
and/or replacement with respect to product warranty claims or product recalls could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.

We provide a limited warranty for a period of six months for our ATVs and one year for our snowmobiles. We may provide longer warranties in certain geographical markets as determined by local regulations
and market

conditions. Although we employ quality control procedures, sometimes a product is distributed which requires repair or replacement. Our standard warranties require us through our dealers to
repair or replace defective products during such warranty periods at no cost to the consumer. Historically, product recalls have been administered through our dealers and distributors and have not had a material effect on our business. See
Note A of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Changing weather conditions may
reduce demand for certain of our products and negatively impact net sales.

Lack of snowfall in any year in any particular
region of the United States or Canada may adversely affect snowmobile retail sales and related parts, garments and accessories sales in that region. Weather conditions may materially affect our future sales of snowmobiles, ATVs, and parts, garments
and accessories.

We face intense competition in all product lines, from competitors that have greater financial and marketing resources.
Failure to compete effectively against competitors would negatively impact our business and operating results.

The
snowmobile and ATV markets in the United States and Canada are highly competitive. Competition is based upon a number of factors, including performance, ride, suspension, innovation, technology, styling, fit and finish, brand loyalty, reliability,
durability, price and distribution. At the dealer level, competition is based on a number of factors including sales and marketing support programs (such as sales incentives and cooperative advertising). Many of our competitors are more diversified
and have financial and marketing resources which are substantially greater than ours. In addition, our products compete with other recreational products for the discretionary spending of consumers. If we are not able to effectively compete in this
environment, our business and operating results will be negatively impacted.

Termination or interruption of engine and other supply
arrangements could have a material adverse effect on our business or results of operations.

Suzuki has manufactured
snowmobile engines (and through fiscal 2008 certain ATV engines) for us pursuant to supply agreements which have been automatically renewed annually. During late fiscal 2005, we began manufacturing certain of our own designed ATV engines as part of
a strategic first step in a new engine program. We believe that having the capability to design and manufacture our own ATV engines enables us to offer customers more choices, provide excellent value, lower Japanese yen currency exposure and enhance
our long-term competitive position. In 2007, we transitioned our engine manufacturing from the Thief River Falls, Minnesota facility to our new facility in St. Cloud, Minnesota. Beginning in fiscal 2009, substantially all our ATVs use engines
that are produced from our engine facility or purchased separately or as part of the 50cc to 450cc units we receive from a Taiwanese supplier.

On June 4, 2010, we signed an agreement under which we will discontinue the purchase of snowmobile engines from Suzuki after December 31, 2013(2014 model year). Suzuki will continue to provide
replacement parts for engines through December 2020. While Suzuki has been a good long-term supplier of snowmobile engines, this new agreement will allow us to gain more control of our products, offer customers more choices, provide excellent value,
lower Japanese yen currency exposure and enhance our ability to meet regulatory and performance requirements. We will expand our snowmobile engine design capabilities, work with a variety of vendors for various engine components, as well as better
maximize our current engine manufacturing capacity.

While we anticipate no significant difficulties in obtaining substitute
supply arrangements for other raw materials or components for which we rely upon limited sources of supply, alternate supply arrangements may not be made on satisfactory terms.

##### Table of Contents

Interruption of dealer floorplan financing could have a material impact on our business operations.

We have agreements with GE Commercial Distribution Finance in the United States and TCF Commercial Finance Canada in
Canada to provide snowmobile and ATV floorplan financing for our North American dealers. These agreements improve our liquidity by financing dealer purchases of products without requiring substantial use of our working capital. We are paid by the
floorplan companies shortly after shipment and as part of our marketing programs we pay the floorplan financing of our dealers for certain set time periods depending on the size of a dealers order. While we expect to continue with our current
multi-year dealer floorplan arrangements, these arrangements may not remain available or the costs and other terms of new financing arrangements may be significantly less favorable to us than has historically been available.

Termination, interruption or nonrenewal of bank credit agreements could have a material adverse affect on our business or results of operations.

The seasonality of our snowmobile and ATV production cycles generates significant fluctuations in our working capital
requirements during each year. Historically, we have financed our working capital requirements out of available cash balances at the beginning and end of the production cycle and with short-term bank borrowings during the middle of this cycle. While
we expect to continue with our current multi-year working capital financing agreement from our lender, working capital financing arrangements may not remain available or the costs and other terms of new financing arrangements may be significantly
less favorable to us than has historically been available. In addition, our current bank credit agreement contains covenants which we might be unable to meet in some future period requiring the need for waivers or replacement financing.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Accidents involving personal injury and property damage occur in the use of recreational products. Claims have been made against us from time to time. It is our policy to vigorously defend against these
actions. We are not involved in any legal proceedings which we believe will have the potential for a materially adverse impact on our business or financial condition.

We presently maintain product liability insurance on a per occurrence basis (with coverage being provided in respect of accidents which occurred during the policy year, regardless of when the
related claim is made) in the amount of $10,000,000 in the aggregate, with a $10,000,000 self-insured retention. We believe such insurance is adequate.

Cash Dividends Paid

Cash dividends were declared and paid quarterly from
1995 through the third quarter of fiscal year 2009. In response to the economic recession and to conserve cash, we suspended quarterly cash dividends in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. We continually consider our cash balance and projected cash
needs and current dividend policy.

|(1) | We have in the past maintained publicly announced stock repurchase programs which have been approved by the Board of Directors. On January 4, 2008, we announced
that the Board of Directors approved a $10 million stock repurchase program. Pricing under this program has been delegated to management. There is no expiration date for this program.

|(2) | Number of shares purchasable at closing price of our common stock on the last trading day of the month.
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We have historically purchased our common stock primarily to offset the dilution created by employee stock option programs and because
the Board of Directors believed investment in our common stock was a good use of our excess cash.

Stock purchases have been
executed in accordance with Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. There have been no other purchases of our common stock.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following managements discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and note thereto included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Executive Level Overview

We continued our improvement in net sales and
profitability in fiscal 2011. Fiscal 2011 net sales increased 3.1% to $464.7 million from $450.7 million in fiscal 2010. Fiscal 2011 net earnings were $13.0 million or $0.70 per diluted share compared to a net earnings of
$1.9 million or $0.10 per diluted share in fiscal 2010. The increase in net sales was mainly due to increased snowmobile sales and snowmobile related parts, garments and accessory sales. During the fiscal year, gross margins improved 330 basis
points, operating expenses as a percent of sales decreased to 17.9%, and operating profits increased to $18.1 million from $1.3 million. In addition, we improved our liquidity by ending the fiscal year with $125.1 million in cash and short-term
investments driven by a 24% reduction in factory inventory.

Industry-wide retail sales of snowmobiles in North America
increased in fiscal 2011 and, similar to last year, snowmobile retail sales out performed many other recreational vehicle categories in North America. While retail sales of snowmobiles are certainly affected by the economic environment, they are
also impacted by snow conditions. In the U.S., snow conditions were generally good for the fourth year in a row, which helped snowmobile retail sales out perform many other recreational vehicle categories. During fiscal 2011 we lost two points of
market share in North America, however, we were successful in reducing North American dealer inventories 22%. Our focus for fiscal 2012 will be regaining market share with our exciting 2012 model line-up.

Industry-wide retail sales of ATVs again declined throughout the year driven by continued uncertainties in the economy, relatively weak
consumer confidence and unemployment figures at near historic levels. We expect these same factors to impact retail sales of ATVs during fiscal 2012 as well. Our focus for fiscal 2012 will again be gaining market share in certain segments and
reducing dealer inventories. During fiscal 2011, our ATV business gained market share in certain segments in North America and our dealer inventories declined by 23% over the prior year. In view of the current North American economic environment, we
do not expect ATV retail sales to improve significantly over last year, although we may see a slight uptick in the ATV market by the end of fiscal 2012 if the economy strengthens.

Reviewing fiscal 2011 net sales: Snowmobile sales increased 12% in fiscal 2011 to $182.0 million from $162.9 million in fiscal 2010,
primarily due to increased U.S. and international snowmobile shipments. Snowmobiles comprised 39% of our net sales in fiscal 2011. ATV sales decreased 4% in fiscal 2011 to $181.1 million from $188.0 million in fiscal 2010. ATV net sales comprised
39% of our net sales in fiscal 2011. Parts, garments and accessories sales increased 2% in fiscal 2011 to $101.6 million from $99.9 million in fiscal 2010, primarily due to increased snowmobile related parts, garments and accessories. Parts,
garments and accessories sales were 22% of our net sales in fiscal 2011.

was primarily due to product cost reductions, price increases and a favorable Canadian dollar exchange rate. Gross profit increased 0.1% to $83.2 million in fiscal 2010 from $83.2 million in fiscal 2009. The gross profit percentage for
fiscal 2010 increased to 18.5% versus 14.8% in fiscal 2009. The increase in the fiscal 2010 gross profit percentage was due primarily to higher margin percentages for all product lines resulting from the efforts undertaken to rescale the business,
reduce the cost of products, pricing increases and a stronger Canadian dollar exchange rate.

income was primarily affected by the higher cash levels at the beginning of the fiscal year compared to last year. Interest expense is lower due to lower borrowing levels primarily driven by reduced inventory levels and our improved cash levels.
Interest income decreased from $117,000 in fiscal 2009 to $12,000 in fiscal 2010. Interest expense decreased from $1.0 million in fiscal 2009 to $250,000 in fiscal 2010. Interest income was primarily affected by the lower cash levels at the
beginning of the fiscal year compared to the last year as well as lower interest rates during fiscal 2010. Interest expense was lower due to lower borrowing levels primarily driven by reduced inventory levels and our improved cash levels.

Net Earnings (Loss)Fiscal 2011 net earnings were $13.0 million or $0.70 per diluted share versus a net earnings
of $1.9 million or $0.10 per diluted share for fiscal 2010. Net earnings as a percent of net sales were 3% and 0.4% in fiscal 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increased earnings are attributable to improved gross margin and continued efforts to
control operating expenses. Fiscal 2010 net earnings were $1.9 million or $0.10 per diluted share compared to a net loss of $9.5 million or $0.53 per share for fiscal 2009. Net earnings as a percent of net sales were 0.4% and (1.7%) in
fiscal 2010 and 2009, respectively. The increased earnings are attributable to the reduction in our cost structure through aggressive expense controls, manufacturing efficiencies and low cost sourcing which led to higher gross margins and operating
profits in fiscal 2010.

Inflation

Inflation historically has not significantly impacted our business. We generally have been able to offset the impact of increasing costs through a combination of productivity gains and product price
increases.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that
affect the amount of reported assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the

consolidated financial statements and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results may differ from those estimates. We reviewed the development and selection of the critical
accounting policies and believe the following are the most critical accounting policies that could have an effect on our reported results. These critical accounting policies and estimates have been reviewed with the Audit Committee of the Board of
Directors.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue and provide for estimated marketing and sales incentive costs when products are shipped to dealers and distributors pursuant to their order, the price is fixed and collection is
reasonably assured. We have agreements with finance companies to repurchase products repossessed up to certain limits. Our financial exposure to repurchase products is limited to the difference between the amount paid to the finance company and the
resale value of the repossessed products. Historically, we have not incurred material losses as a result of repurchases nor has it provided a financial reserve for repurchases. Adverse changes in retail sales could cause this situation to change.

Marketing and Sales Incentive Costs

We provide for various marketing and sales incentive costs which are offered to our dealers and consumers at the later of when the revenue is recognized or when the marketing and sales incentive program
is approved and communicated. Examples of these costs include: dealer and consumer rebates, dealer floorplan financing assistance and other incentive and promotion programs. Adverse market conditions resulting in lower than expected retail sales or
the matching of competitor programs could cause accrued marketing and incentive costs to materially increase if we authorize and communicate new programs to our dealers. We estimate marketing and sales incentive costs based on expected usage and
historical experience. The accrual for marketing and sales incentive costs at March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $9.4 million and $7.9 million, respectively, and is included in accrued marketing in our balance sheet. The increase in this
accrual was a result of current announced and communicated marketing and sales incentive programs and retail market conditions. Historically, marketing and sales incentive program expenses have been within our expectations. To the extent current
experience differs with previous estimates the accrued liability for marketing and sales incentives is adjusted accordingly.

Product Warranties

We generally provide a limited warranty to the owner of snowmobiles for 12 months from the date of consumer registration and for 6 months on ATVs. We provide for estimated warranty costs at the
time of sale based on historical rates and trends and makes subsequent adjustments to their estimate as actual claims become known or the amounts are determinable. Adverse changes in actual warranty costs compared to our initial estimates could
cause accrued warranty costs to materially change. The accrual for warranty costs was $14.1 million at March 31, 2011 and 2010. Historically, actual warranty costs have been within our expectations.

Inventories

Our inventories are recorded at the lower of cost or market, with cost based on a first-in, first-out basis. We periodically assess inventories for obsolescence and potential excess. This assessment is
based primarily on assumptions and estimates regarding future production demands, anticipated changes in technology or design, historical and expected future sales patterns. Our inventories consist of materials and products that are subject to
changes in our planned production of future snowmobile and ATV products and competitive market conditions which may cause lower of cost or market adjustments to our finished goods inventory. If market conditions or future demand are less favorable
than our current expectations, additional inventory write downs or reserves may be required, which could have an adverse effect on our reported results in the period the adjustments are made. Inventory items that are identified as obsolete or excess
are fully reserved on our balance sheet and are generally scrapped. Historically, inventory obsolescence and potential excess costs adjustments have been within our expectations.

##### Table of Contents

Product Liability and Litigation

We are subject to product liability claims and other litigation in the normal course of business. We insure for product liability claims
although we retain a self-insured retention accrual within the balance sheet caption Insurance within accrued expenses. The estimated costs resulting from any losses over insured amounts are charged to operating expenses when it is
probable a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss is reasonably determinable.

We utilize historical trends and
other analysis to assist in determining the appropriate loss. Adverse changes in the final determination of product liability or other claims made against us could have a material impact on our financial condition. Historically, actual product
liability and litigation costs have been within our expectations.

Stock-Based Compensation

We recognize stock based compensation based on certain assumption inputs within the Black-Scholes Model. These assumption inputs are used
to determine an estimated fair value of stock based payment awards on the date of grant and require subjective judgment. Because employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in
the input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, the existing models may not provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the employee stock options. We assess the assumptions and methodologies used to calculate
estimated fair value of stock-based compensation on a regular basis. Circumstances may change and additional data may become available over time, which could result in changes to these assumptions and methodologies and thereby materially impact our
fair value determination. If factors change and we employ different assumptions, the amount of compensation expense may differ significantly from what was recorded in the current period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The seasonality of our snowmobile and ATV production cycles generates significant fluctuations in our working capital requirements during the year. The following table represents sales and ending
inventories by each quarter in the fiscal years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

As a result of our better matching of ATV production to wholesale and retail demand for ATV units,
our finished goods inventory balance decreased as of March 31, 2011 compared with March 31, 2010. Historically, we have financed our working capital requirements out of available cash balances at the beginning and end of the production
cycle and with short-term bank borrowings during the middle of the cycle. We believe current available cash and cash generated from operations together with working capital financing through our available



22

##### Table of Contents

line of credit will provide sufficient funds to finance operations on a short and long-term basis. However, there can be no assurance that adequate working capital financing arrangements will
remain available or that the costs and other terms of such new financing arrangements will not be significantly less favorable to us than has historically been available.

Cash and Short-Term Investments

Cash and short-term investments increased
to $125,113,000 at March 31, 2011 from $71,062,000 at March 31, 2010 because of improved profitability and working capital management. Our cash balances traditionally peak early in the fourth quarter and then decrease as working capital
requirements increase when our snowmobile and spring ATV production cycles begin. Our investment objectives are first, safety of principal and second, rate of return.

Financing Arrangements and Cash Flows

We have operated since November 2009
under a $60,000,000 secured bank credit agreement for the documentary and stand-by letters of credit and for working capital purposes. We may borrow up to $60,000,000 during June through November and up to $35,000,000 during all other months of the
fiscal year. The total letters of credit issued at March 31, 2011 were $9,304,000, of which $6,491,000 was issued to Suzuki for engine and service parts purchases.

We have agreements with GE Commercial Distribution Finance in the United States and TCF Commercial Finance Canada in Canada to provide snowmobile and ATV floorplan financing for our dealers. These
agreements improve our liquidity by financing dealer purchases of products without requiring substantial use of our working capital. We are paid by the floorplan companies shortly after shipment and as part of our marketing programs, we pay the
floorplan financing of our dealers for certain set time periods depending on the size of a dealers order.

The financing
agreements require repurchase of repossessed new and unused units and set limits upon our potential liability for annual repurchases. The aggregate potential liability was approximately $75,558,000 at March 31, 2011. We have incurred no
material losses under these agreements. We believe current available cash and cash generated from operations provide sufficient funding in the event there is a requirement to perform under these guarantee and repurchase agreements.

In fiscal 2011, we invested $11,761,000 in capital expenditures. We expect that capital expenditures will increase to approximately
$18,000,000 in fiscal 2012. Since 1996, we have repurchased over 11,000,000 shares of our common stock. There is approximately $7,581,000 remaining on the January 2008 repurchase authorization. We believe that cash generated from operations and
available cash will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements on a short and long-term basis.

Certain Information Concerning Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2011, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities
often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. We are, therefore, not exposed
to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in these relationships.

Forward-Looking Statements

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for certain forward-looking statements. This
Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as our annual report to shareholders and future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, our press releases and oral statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer, contain
forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially
from historical results or those anticipated. The words aim, believe, expect, anticipate, intend, estimate and other expressions that indicate future events and trends identify

supply expectations, adequacy of insurance, and the effect of regulations on us and our industry. Actual future results and trends may differ materially from historical results or those anticipated depending on a variety of factors, including, but
not limited to the risk factors described in Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events
or otherwise.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Foreign Exchange Rates and Interest Rates

During fiscal 2011, approximately 10% of our cost of sales was purchased from Japanese yen denominated suppliers. The majority of these purchases were made from Suzuki, which supplies engines for our
snowmobiles. We have an agreement with Suzuki for snowmobile engine purchases to share the impact of fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Japanese yen above and below a fixed range contained in the agreement. This
agreement renews annually. During fiscal 2011, the exchange rate fluctuation between the U.S. dollar and the Japanese yen had a modest negative impact on our operating results.

Sales to Canadian dealers are made in Canadian dollars with the U.S. dollar serving as the functional currency. During fiscal 2011, sales
to Canadian dealers comprised 35.8% of total net sales. During fiscal 2011, the exchange rate fluctuation between the U.S. dollar and the Canadian dollar had a modest impact on operating profits. During fiscal 2011, we utilized cash flow hedges to
mitigate the variability in Canadian exchange rate changes relating to Canadian dollar fund transfers to the United States. At March 31, 2011 there are Canadian dollar forward exchange contracts outstanding with a notional amount of
$129,673,000.

Sales to European on-road ATV dealers and distributors are made in Euros with the Euro serving as the
functional currency. During fiscal 2011, sales to European on-road ATV dealers comprised 5.4% of total net sales. During fiscal 2011, the exchange rate fluctuation between the U.S. dollar and the Euro had no significant impact on operating profits.
During fiscal 2011, we utilized hedges to mitigate the variability in the Euro exchange rate and there were no Euro forward exchange contracts outstanding at March 31, 2011. Interest rate market risk is managed for cash and short-term
investments by investing in a diversified frequently maturing portfolio consisting of municipal bonds and money market funds that experience minimal volatility. The carrying amount of available-for-sale debt securities approximate related fair value
and the associated market risk is not deemed to be significant.

We are a party to a secured bank line of credit arrangement
under which we currently may borrow an aggregate of up to $60,000,000. The total letters of credit issued, under this arrangement, at March 31, 2011 were $9,304,000 of which $6,491,000 was issued to Suzuki for engine and service parts
purchases. Interest is charged at variable rates based on either LIBOR or prime. Because the interest rate risk related to the line of credit is not deemed to be significant, we do not actively manage this exposure.

MANAGEMENTS REPORT OF INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in
Rule 13a-15(f) under the 1934 Act. Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2011. In making this
assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework. Based on the assessment management believes that, as of
March 31, 2011, our internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.

Our independent
registered public accounting firm has issued an audit report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. This report appears on the following page.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Arctic
Cat Inc.

We have audited Arctic Cat Inc. (a Minnesota Corporation) and subsidiaries (the Company) internal control over financial
reporting as of March 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Companys management is
responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Managements Report of Internal Control
Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material
weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

A companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companys internal control over financial reporting
includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable
assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with
authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material
effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may
deteriorate.

In our opinion, Arctic Cat Inc. and subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009

A. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Arctic Cat Inc. (the Company) operates in a single industry segment and designs,
engineers, manufactures and markets snowmobiles and all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) under the Arctic Cat® brand
name, and related parts, garments and accessories principally through its facilities in Thief River Falls, Minnesota. The Companys products are sold through a network of independent dealers located throughout the United States, Canada, and
Europe and through distributors in Europe, South America, the Middle East, Asia and other international markets.

Use of Estimates

Preparation of the Companys consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities, related revenues and expenses and disclosure about contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from the estimates used by management.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Arctic Cat Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers highly liquid temporary investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased or variable
rate demand notes with put options exercisable in three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of commercial paper and put bonds. At times, certain bank deposits may be in excess of federally insured
limits. As of March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had approximately $11,928,000 and $5,427,000 of cash located in foreign banks primarily in Europe and Canada. The Companys cash management policy provides for bank disbursement accounts
to be reimbursed on a daily basis. Checks issued but not presented to the banks for payment are included in cash and cash equivalents as a reduction of other cash balances.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

Except where noted, the carrying
value of current financial assets and liabilities approximates their fair value, due to their short-term nature.

Short-Term Investments

Short-term investments are reported at fair value. The Company utilizes the specific identification method in accounting
for its short-term investments.

Accounts Receivable

The Companys accounts receivable balance consists of amounts due from its dealers and certain finance companies. The Company extends credit to its dealers based on an evaluation of the dealers
financial condition. The Companys collection exposure relating to accounts receivable amounts due from certain dealer finance

companies is limited due to the financial strength of the finance companies and provisions of its existing agreements. Accounts receivable is presented net of an allowance for estimated
uncollectible amounts due from its dealers. The Company estimates the uncollectible amounts considering numerous factors, mainly historical trends as well as current available information. The Companys allowance for uncollectible accounts was
$3,647,000, $2,849,000 and $2,283,000 at March 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009. The activity within the allowance for uncollectible accounts for the three years ended March 31, 2011 was not significant. Accounts receivable amounts written off have
been within managements expectations.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined using the first-in, first-out method.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company enters into
forward exchange contracts to hedge the variability in foreign exchange rates related to transfers of Canadian dollar and Euro funds to the United States of America. The contracts are designated as, and meet the criteria for, cash flow hedges. The
Company does not enter into forward contracts for the purpose of trading. Gains and losses on forward contracts are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, and subsequently reclassified within 12 months into
operating expense upon completing transfers of Canadian dollar and Euro funds.

As of March 31, 2011, the Company had
open Canadian dollar forward exchange contracts, maturing through March 2012 with notional amounts totaling $129,673,000 and the total fair value of $1,456,000 is included in accounts payable. There were no open Canadian dollar forward exchange
contracts at March 31, 2010. There were no open Euro forward exchange contracts at March 31, 2011. As of March 31, 2010, the Company had open Euro forward exchange contracts maturing through January 2011, with notional amounts
totaling $4,745,000 and a total fair value of $326,000 was included in accounts receivable. The related amount reported within other comprehensive income (loss) as of March 31, 2011 net of tax was ($1,147,000).

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the
principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A fair value hierarchy has been established which requires classification based on observable and
unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1
prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or
liabilities; Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The Company utilizes the income approach to measure fair value of foreign
currency contracts which is based on significant other observable inputs. The asset or liability is measured at fair value on a recurring basis each reporting period end. As of March 31, 2011, the Companys foreign currency contract fair
value was a liability totaling $1,456,000 and considered a Level 2 measurement. As of March 31, 2010, the Companys foreign currency contract fair value was an asset totaling $326,000 and considered a Level 2 measurement.

Property and Equipment

Depreciation is provided in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service lives, using the units of production method for tooling and the
straight-line method for all other property and equipment. Repairs and maintenance cost that are considered not to extend the useful life of the property and equipment are expensed as incurred. Tooling is amortized over the life of the product,
generally three years. Estimated service lives range from 15 - 39 years for buildings and improvements and 5 - 7 years for machinery and equipment. Accelerated and straight-line methods are used for income tax
reporting.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If impairment
indicators are present and the estimated future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the assets, the carrying value is reduced to the estimated fair value as measured by the associated discounted cash flows. Based on
impairment indicators not being present, the Company determined the carrying value of long-lived assets was not impaired.

Goodwill and
Intangibles

The Company tests goodwill and intangibles assets with indefinite lives for impairment on an annual basis or
upon the occurrence of events that may indicate possible impairment. In conjunction with the Companys fiscal 2009 annual goodwill impairment testing, lower common stock market price and financial results, the Company determined goodwill was
impaired by $1,750,000. The non-cash goodwill impairment charge was recognized in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. Goodwill impairment testing is a two-step process. First it requires a comparison of the carrying value of net assets to the fair
value of the related operations that have goodwill assigned to them. The Company estimates the fair values of the related operations using discounted cash flows. If the fair value is determined to be less than the carrying value, a potential
impairment is indicated and the second step is performed to determine if any impairment is present.

The changes in the
carrying amount of identified intangibles included in other assets for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 are as follows:



|                          |  |      |          |   |      |   |           |

|                          |  | 2011 |          |   | 2010 |  
|Balance at April 1,       |  | $    | 929,000  |   |      | $ | 1,144,000 |  
|Current year amortization |  |      | (148,000 | ) |      |   | (215,000  | )
|                          |  |      |          |   |      |   |           |  
|Balance at March 31,      |  | $    | 781,000  |   |      | $ | 929,000   |  
|                          |  |      |          |   |      |   |           |  

Identified intangible assets are customer relationships, a homologation license, and a non-compete
agreement. Intangible assets before accumulated amortization were $1,950,000 at March 31, 2011 and 2010. Accumulated amortization was $1,169,000 and $1,021,000 at March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Amortization expense is expected to
be approximately $94,000 in fiscal 2012, and $83,000 in fiscal 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016.

Product Warranties

The Company generally provides a limited warranty to the owner of snowmobiles for twelve months from the date of consumer registration and for six months on ATVs. The Company provides for estimated
warranty costs at the time of sale based on historical rates and trends and makes subsequent adjustments to its estimate as actual claims become known or the amounts are determinable. The following represents changes in the Companys accrued
warranty liability for the fiscal years ended March 31,

Insurance

The Company is self-insured for employee medical, workers compensation, and product liability claims. Specific stop loss coverages are provided for catastrophic claims. Losses and claims are charged
to operations when it is probable a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue and provides for estimated marketing and sales incentive costs when products are shipped to dealers and
distributors pursuant to their order, the price is fixed and collection is reasonably assured. Shipping and handling costs are recorded as a component of costs of goods sold at the time product is shipped.

Marketing and Sales Incentive Costs

At the time product revenue is recognized the Company provides for various marketing and sales incentive costs which are offered to its dealers and consumers. Examples of these costs, which are recognized
as a reduction of revenue when the products are sold, include: dealer and consumer rebates, dealer floor plan financing assistance and other incentive and promotion programs. Generally, the Company records costs related to these marketing programs
at the later of when the revenue is recognized or when the sales incentive or marketing program is approved and communicated for products previously shipped. Sales incentives that involve a free product or service delivered to the consumer are
recorded as a component of cost of goods sold. The Company estimates the costs of these various incentive and marketing programs at the time of sale or subsequently when programs are approved and communicated based on historical experience. To the
extent current experience differs with previous estimates the accrued liability for marketing and sales incentives is adjusted accordingly.

Dealer Holdback

The
Company records a dealer holdback program liability at the time certain products are shipped to its dealers. If the products subject to the holdback program are sold within the program time period, the Company refunds a portion of the original sale
price, referred to as dealer holdback, to the dealer. The Companys dealer holdback program liability, included within accounts payable, was $13,722,000 and $14,578,000 as of March 31, 2011 and 2010.

$18,404,000 during fiscal 2011, 2010 and 2009.

Advertising

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred, except for cooperative advertising obligations arising related to the sale of the Companys products to its dealers. The estimated cost of
cooperative advertising, which the dealer is required to support, is recorded as marketing expense at the time the product is sold. Cooperative advertising was $2,355,000, $2,390,000 and $3,836,000 in fiscal 2011, 2010 and 2009. Total advertising
expense, including cooperative advertising, was $15,507,000, $16,063,000 and $21,974,000 in fiscal 2011, 2010 and 2009.

Stock Based
Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation plans and measures and recognizes compensation expense for
all stock-based payment awards to employees and directors based on estimated fair values.

At March 31, 2011, the Company
had stock based compensation plans, all previously approved by the shareholders. Stock options and restricted stock awards granted under these plans generally vest ratably over one to three years of service. Stock options have a contractual life of
five to ten years and provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control, as defined in the plans. At March 31, 2011, the Company had 3,174,172 shares available for future grant under its stock option plans.

At March 31, 2011, the Company had $1,486,000 of unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested stock options and restricted
stock awards that are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately two years.

For the fiscal
years ended March 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded stock based compensation expense of $3,174,000, $2,486,000 and $2,570,000 which has been included in selling, general and administrative expenses. The Companys total stock
based compensation related expense reduced both basic and diluted earnings per share by $0.12, $0.08 and $0.09 for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009.

The total income tax benefit from the exercise of stock options classified as financing cash flows was $745,000 for fiscal year ended March 31, 2011. There was no income tax benefit from the exercise
of stock options classified as financing cash flows in fiscal years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.

The fair value of
each stock option award was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes options pricing model. The following assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of options:

Net Earnings Per Share

The Companys diluted weighted average shares outstanding include common shares and common share equivalents relating to stock
options, when dilutive. Options to purchase 1,997,354, 2,439,925 and 2,287,203 shares of common stock with weighted average exercise prices of $18.46, $16.61 and $17.42 were outstanding during fiscal 2011, 2010 and 2009 but were excluded from the
computation of common share equivalents because they were anti-dilutive.

Weighted average shares outstanding consist of the
following for the fiscal years ended March 31:

Foreign Currency Translation

The Companys sales and marketing activities with Canadian dealers are denominated in Canadian currency with the U.S. dollar serving as the functional currency. The Companys sales and marketing
activities with European on-road ATV dealers and distributors are denominated in the Euro with the Euro serving as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities denominated in Canadian currency and the Euro are translated using the exchange rates
in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average foreign exchange rates in effect for the period. Exchange gains and losses relating to the Canadian currency and Euro currency are reflected in the results of
operations and as a component of other comprehensive income.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) represents net earnings (loss) adjusted for the unrealized gain or loss on derivative instruments, and foreign
currency translation adjustments and is shown in the consolidated financial statements of shareholders equity.

Accounting Policy and
Disclosure Changes

In September 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-20, Disclosures about the Credit Quality of
Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses, to enhance the disclosures required for financing receivables (for example, loans, trade accounts receivable, notes receivable, and receivables relating to a lessors leveraged,
direct financing, and sales-type leases) and allowances for credit losses. The amended disclosures are designed to provide more information to financial statement users regarding the credit quality of a creditors financing receivables and the
adequacy of its allowance for credit losses. The amended guidance was effective for

period-end balances beginning with the first interim or annual reporting period ending on or after December 15, 2010. The amended guidance was effective for activity during a reporting
period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The adoption of this amended guidance did not have a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. This ASU
represents the converged guidance of the FASB and the IASB (the Boards) on fair value measurement and results in common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements, including a consistent
meaning of the term fair value. ASU 2011-04 is effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. We do not believe the effect of adoption of these provisions on our consolidated financial statements will
have a material impact.

B. SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS

E. FINANCING

The Company entered into a $60,000,000 senior secured revolving bank agreement in November 2009 for documentary and stand-by letters of credit, working capital needs and general corporate purposes.
This replaced a $20,000,000 bank line of credit with another lender that was set to expire March 31, 2010. The Company may borrow up to $60,000,000 during June through November and up to $35,000,000 during all other months of the

fiscal year. Borrowings under the line of credit bear interest at the greater of the following rates; the prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 0.50% or the LIBOR for a 30 day interest
period plus 1.00%. As of March 31, 2011, the effective rate was 5.25%. All borrowings are collateralized by substantially all of the Companys assets including all real estate, accounts receivable and inventory. No borrowings from the line
of credit were outstanding at March 31, 2011 and 2010. The outstanding letters of credit balances were $9,304,000 and $14,902,000 at March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and borrowings under the line are subject to certain covenants and
restrictions on indebtedness, financial guarantees, business combinations and other related items. The Company was in compliance with the credit agreement as of March 31, 2011. The issued letters of credit outstanding, as of March 31, 2011
and 2010, included $6,491,000 and $4,543,000, respectively, issued to Suzuki Motor Corporation (Suzuki) for engine and service parts purchases and $10,000,000 to GE Commercial Distribution Finance (see Note G). Outstanding letters of credit
will be repaid over the following six months in accordance with the credit agreement and any such renewal.

F. RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN

The Companys 401(k) retirement savings plan covers substantially all eligible employees. Employees may contribute up
to 50% of their compensation with the Company matching 100% of the employee contributions, up to a maximum of 3% of the employees compensation. The Company match was suspended as of April 1, 2009. The Company can elect to make additional
contributions at its discretion. A discretionary contribution of $629,011 was made in fiscal 2011. Total Company matching contributions were $1,269,000 in fiscal 2009. There were no matching contributions made in fiscal 2011 or 2010 and no
discretionary contributions made during either fiscal 2010 or 2009.

G. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company purchases engines and service parts from Suzuki, owner of the Companys Class B common stock. Such purchases totaled
$33,215,000, $30,690,000, and $46,047,000, in fiscal 2011, 2010 and 2009. The purchase price of the engines and service parts is determined annually. The Company has an agreement with Suzuki for snowmobile engine purchases to share the impact of
fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Japanese yen above and below a fixed range contained in the agreement.

On June 4, 2010, Arctic Cat signed an agreement under which Arctic Cat will discontinue the purchase of snowmobile engines from Suzuki after December 31, 2013 (2014 model year). Suzuki will
continue to provide replacement parts for engines through December 2020. While Suzuki has been a good long term supplier of snowmobile engines, this new agreement will allow Arctic Cat to gain more control of its products and enhance its ability to
meet regulatory and performance requirements. Arctic Cat will expand its snowmobile engine design capabilities, work with a variety of vendors for various engine services and better maximize its current engine manufacturing capacity. While the
Company anticipates no significant difficulties in obtaining substitute supply arrangements for other raw materials or components for which it relies upon limited sources of supply, there can be no assurance that alternate supply arrangements will
be made on satisfactory terms.

The Company is dependent on Suzuki for the near term supply of most of its engines and related
service parts. An interruption of this supply could have a material adverse effect on the Companys operations. Certain other raw materials and services are purchased from vendors in which certain of the Companys directors are officers or
significant shareholders. In fiscal 2011, 2010 and 2009, these transactions aggregated $566,000, $635,000 and $1,328,000.

At March 31, 2011, approximately $571,000 of the gross deferred tax asset relates to the net operating
loss carryforward of approximately $2,284,000 for our foreign subsidiaries. Also included in our gross deferred tax asset was $602,000 related to Minnesota research and development credits that will expire in varying amounts between the fiscal years
ending March 31, 2023 to 2025. The net operating losses have an indefinite carry-forward period. We expect future taxable income in these jurisdictions to be sufficiently large enough that these carry forward items will be fully realized
therefore no valuation allowance has been provided relating to these deferred tax assets.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

MARCH 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009



The Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after
determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit
that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. . The Company recognizes potential interest and penalties related to income tax positions as a component of the provision
for income taxes on the consolidated statements of operations. The Company had liabilities recorded related to unrecognized tax benefits totaling $2,649,000 and $3,634,000 at March 31, 2011 and 2010 including reserves related to potential
interest and penalties of $910,000 and $772,000, respectively The amount of the liability, net of federal benefits for uncertain state tax positions, at March 31, 2011, if recognized, would affect the Companys effective tax rate. The
Company currently anticipates approximately $200,000 of unrecognized tax benefits will be recognized during the next twelve months. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to federal, state, or foreign income tax examinations for years
prior to March 31, 2008. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits excluding interest and penalties is as follows:

well as various European jurisdictions. Tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to the interpretation of the relevant tax laws and regulations and require significant judgment to apply. The Company is currently under IRS audit for the

I. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Dealer Financing

Finance companies provide certain of the Companys
dealers with floor plan financing. The Company has agreements with these finance companies to repurchase certain repossessed products sold to its dealers. At March 31, 2011, the Company was contingently liable under these agreements for a
maximum repurchase amount of approximately $75,558,000. The Companys financial exposure under these agreements is limited to the difference between the amount paid to the finance companies for repurchases and the amount received upon the
resale of the repossessed product. Losses incurred under these agreements during the periods presented have not been material.

Litigation

The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of business. Accidents involving
personal injury and property damage occur in the use of snowmobiles and ATVs. Claims have been made against the Company from time to time. It is the Companys policy to vigorously defend against these actions. The Company is not involved in any
legal proceedings which it believes will have the potential for a materially adverse impact on the Companys business or financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Class B Common Stock

Suzuki owns all outstanding shares of the Companys Class B common stock. At the option of Suzuki, the Class B common stock is convertible into an equal number of shares of the
Companys common stock. The Class B shareholder is entitled to elect one member of the Companys Board of Directors but cannot vote for the election of other directors of the Company. The Class B shareholder can vote on all other
matters submitted to the common shareholders. The Class B common stock participates equally with the common stock in all dividends and other distributions duly declared by the Companys Board of Directors. The Class B common shares
are converted into an equal number of shares of common stock if: Suzuki owns less than 15% of the aggregate number of outstanding common and Class B common shares; the Company becomes a non-surviving party due to a merger or recapitalization;
the Company sells substantially all of its assets; or Suzuki transfers its Class B common stock to any person.

In
addition, the Company has a Stock Purchase Agreement with Suzuki that prohibits the purchase of additional shares of the Companys common stock unless, following such purchase, Suzukis ownership is less than or equal to 32% of the
aggregate outstanding shares of common and Class B common stock. The Company has the first right of refusal to purchase any shares Suzuki intends to sell. Suzuki has agreed not to compete in the

2010 Arctic Cat signed an agreement under which Arctic Cat will discontinue the purchase of snowmobile engines from Suzuki following the 2014 model year. While Suzuki has been a good long term supplier of snowmobile engines, this new agreement will

services, as well as better maximize its current engine manufacturing capacity.

series. The board can determine voting, conversion, dividend and redemption rights and other preferences of each series. No shares have been issued.

Shareholders Rights Plan

In connection with the adoption of a
Shareholders Rights Plan, the Company created a Series B Junior Participating preferred stock. Under terms of the Companys Shareholder Rights Plan, upon the occurrence of certain events, registered holders of common stock and
Class B common stock are entitled to purchase one-hundredth of a share of Series B Junior Participating preferred stock at a stated price, or to purchase either the Companys common shares or common shares of an acquiring entity at
half their market value. The Rights related to this plan expire September 17, 2011.

Share Repurchase Authorization

The Company invested $2,419,000 during fiscal 2011 to repurchase and cancel 183,953 shares of common stock, pursuant to the Board of
Directors authorizations. The Company made no share repurchases during fiscal 2010 and 2009. At March 31, 2011 authorization to repurchase $7,581,000 or approximately 487,500 shares remains outstanding.
