Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
on Consolidated Financial Statements
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Polaris Industries Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Polaris Industries Inc. (the Company) as
of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity and
comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011. Our
audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the index at Item 15. These financial statements and
the schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits 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 the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
consolidated financial position of Polaris Industries Inc. at December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the consolidated
results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011, in
conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial
statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly
in all material respects the information set forth therein.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States), Polaris Industries Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based
on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 27, 2012 expressed an unqualified
opinion thereon.
