               Outdoors purchases certain services primarily from S.C. Johnson &amp; Son,

               organizations controlled by the Johnson&nbsp;family (including Ms.
               Johnson-Leipold).&nbsp; For example, Johnson Outdoors leases its
Headquarters                facility from S.C. Johnson and S.C. Johnson provides Johnson
Outdoors with (1)                administrative services pertaining to things like
automobile leasing, office                equipment leasing and travel services; (2)
information processing and                telecommunication services; (3) use of S.C.&nbsp; Johnson&#146;s
aircraft and                crews, pursuant to a time sharing agreement; and (4) from
time to time, certain                loaned employees.&nbsp; Johnson Outdoors believes
that the amounts paid to these                organizations are no greater than the fair
market value of the services.&nbsp;               The total amount incurred by the
Company for the foregoing services during the                fiscal year ended October&nbsp;1,
2004 was approximately $1,571,088. Effective                January 28, 2005 S.C. Johnson
