Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2003, December 31, 2002, and September 30, 2002
(unaudited)

Note 1 — Significant Accounting Policies

Interim Financial Statements. The unaudited financial data of Brunswick Corporation (the Company) has been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements and notes prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current-period presentation.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with, and have been prepared in conformity with, the accounting principles reflected in the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the 2002 Form 10-K). These interim results include, in the opinion of management, all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the results of operations for the periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002. Due to the seasonality of the Company’s businesses, the interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the remainder of the year.

The Company maintains its financial records on the basis of a fiscal year ending on December 31, with the fiscal quarters ending on the Saturday closest to the end of the period (thirteen-week periods). For ease of reference, all references to period end dates have been presented as though the period ended on the last day of the calendar month. The first three quarters of fiscal year 2003 ended on March 29, 2003, June 28, 2003, and September 27, 2003. The first three quarters of fiscal year 2002 ended on March 30, 2002, June 29, 2002, and September 28, 2002.

New Accounting Standards. In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45), “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others — An Interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57, and 107 and rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34.” This interpretation clarifies the requirements for a guarantor’s accounting for, and disclosures of, certain guarantees issued and outstanding. FIN 45 also clarifies the requirements related to the recognition of a liability by a guarantor at the inception of a guarantee. FIN 45 is effective for guarantees entered into or modified after December 31, 2002. The adoption of FIN 45 did not have a material impact on the financial statements. See Note 3, Commitments and Contingencies, for further discussion.

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities — An Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 51.” This interpretation provides guidance on how to identify variable interest entities and how to determine whether or not those entities should be consolidated. FIN 46 applies to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003. The Company did not create any material variable interest entities since January 31, 2003. FIN 46, as amended, also applies in the first fiscal quarter or interim period ending after December 15, 2003, in which the Company holds a variable interest in an entity that it acquired before February 1, 2003. The Company is evaluating the impact that FIN 46 will have on the Company.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Goodwill and other intangible assets generally result from business acquisitions. The excess of cost over net assets of businesses acquired is recorded as goodwill. The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” which requires that, effective January 1, 2002, goodwill and certain other intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite useful life are no longer amortized. While amortization of goodwill and certain other intangible assets is no longer permitted, these accounts must be reviewed annually for impairment. In the third quarter of 2002, the Company completed its impairment testing and recorded a one-time, non-cash charge of $29.8 million pre-tax ($25.1 million after-tax, or $0.28 per diluted share) as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle to reduce the carrying amount of goodwill. The Company restated the first quarter of 2002 to reflect the impairment charge effective January 1, 2002, as required under SFAS No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements.”

Stock-based Compensation. The Company continues to apply the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” Under APB No. 25, the Company recognizes no compensation cost related to stock options granted in its Consolidated Statements of Income because the option terms are fixed and the exercise price equals the market price of the underlying stock on the grant date. In accordance with SFAS No. 123, “Accounting f
