              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)


NOTE 1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared by the management of Columbia Sportswear Company (the "Company") and in
the opinion of management contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company's financial
position as of June 30, 2000, and the results of operations for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 and cash flows for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 and 1999. It should be understood that accounting measurements at
interim dates inherently involve greater reliance on estimates than at year end.
The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. It is suggested
that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999.

NOTE 4.  NET INCOME PER SHARE

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per
Share," requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share
("EPS"). Basic EPS is based on the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if
securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted
into common stock.

There were no adjustments to net income in computing diluted net income per
share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. A
reconciliation of the common shares used in the denominator for computing basic
and diluted net income per share is as follows:

NOTE 6.  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

As part of the Company's risk management programs, the Company uses or used a
variety of financial instruments, including foreign currency option and forward
exchange contracts. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial
instruments for trading purposes.

The Company uses a combination of foreign currency option and forward exchange
contracts to hedge against the currency risk associated with Japanese yen,
Canadian dollar and European euro denominated, firmly committed and anticipated
transactions for the next twelve months.

The Company accounts for these instruments as cash flow hedges. In accordance
with SFAS No. 133, such financial instruments are marked-to-market with the
offset to shareholders' equity and then subsequently recognized as a component
of gross margin when the underlying transaction is recognized. The Company
measures hedge effectiveness of foreign currency option and forward exchange
contracts based on the forward price of the underlying commodity. Hedge
ineffectiveness was not material during the three and six months ended June 30,
2000.

NOTE 7.  FUTURE ACCOUNTING CHANGES

In December of 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements". The effective date of the bulletin was delayed according to SAB No.
101A and SAB NO. 101B and will be effective for the Company's first quarter of
fiscal year 2001. Management has not yet completed an evaluation of the effects
this bulletin will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

</TABLE>


THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999

NET SALES: Net sales increased 36.1% to $97.2 million for the three month period
ended June 30, 2000 from $71.4 million for the comparable period in 1999.
Domestic sales increased 35.0% to $71.8 million for the three month period ended
June 30, 2000 from $53.2 million for the comparable period in 1999. Net
international sales, excluding Canada, increased 58.1% to $18.5 million for the
three month period ended June 30, 2000 from $11.7 million for the comparable
period in 1999. Canadian sales increased 4.5% to $6.9 million for the three
month period ended June 30, 2000 from $6.6 million for the same period in 1999.
These increases were primarily attributable to increased sales of spring
sportswear and footwear units across all regions and domestic fall outerwear
units.

GROSS PROFIT: Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 45.0% for the three
months ended June 30, 2000 compared to 43.8% for the comparable period in 1999.
The increase in gross margin was due primarily to improved gross margin on sales
of spring close-out products and early domestic shipments of high margin fall
outerwear in response to customer demand.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE: Selling, general, and
administrative expense increased 20.2% to $36.9 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2000 from $30.7 million for the comparable period in 1999,
primarily as a result of an increase in variable selling and operating expenses
to support the higher level of sales. As a percentage of sales, selling,
general, and administrative expenses decreased to 38.0% for the three months
ended June 30, 2000 from 42.9% for the comparable period in 1999, primarily as a
result of increased sales growth coupled with improvements in operating
efficiencies, including leverage from our fully

operational domestic distribution center expansion.

INTEREST EXPENSE: Interest expense decreased by 28.6% for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 from the comparable period in 1999. This decrease was attributable
to our increased cash position for the quarter ended June 30, 2000.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,1999

NET SALES: Net sales increased 28.0% to $205.6 million for the six month period
ended June 30, 2000 from $160.6 million for the comparable period in 1999.
Domestic sales increased 20.8% to $140.7 million for the six month period ended
June 30, 2000 from $116.5 million for the comparable period in 1999. Net
international sales, excluding Canada, increased 56.3% to $47.5 million for the
six month period ended June 30, 2000 from $30.4 million for the comparable
period in 1999. Canadian net sales increased 26.1% to $17.4 million for the six
month period ended June 30, 2000 from $13.8 million for the comparable period in
1999. These increases were primarily attributable to increased sales of spring
sportswear and footwear units across all regions.

GROSS PROFIT: Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 43.9% for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 compared to 39.8% for the comparable period in 1999.
The increase in gross margin was due to several factors including: (1) decreased
sales of carry-over fall close-out products during the three months ended March
31, 2000 when compared to the three months ended March 31, 1999, (2) increased
margin on sales of spring sportswear close-out products for the three months
ended June 30, 2000 when compared to the three months ended June 30, 1999, and
(3) an increased percentage of higher margin net international sales, excluding
Canada, for the six months ended June 30, 2000 when compared to the six months
ended June 30, 1999.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE: Selling, general, and
administrative expense increased 24.3% to $77.3 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 from $62.2 million for the comparable period in 1999, primarily as
a result of an increase in variable selling and operating expenses to support
the higher level of sales. As a percentage of sales, selling, general, and
administrative expenses decreased to 37.6% for the six months ended June 30,
2000 from 38.8% for the comparable period in 1999 as we were able to leverage
our sales growth over our fixed operating expenses.

INTEREST EXPENSE: Interest expense decreased by 14.4% for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 from the comparable period in 1999. This decrease was attributable
to our increased cash position for the six months ended June 30, 2000.

SEASONALITY OF BUSINESS

Our business is impacted by the general seasonal trends that are characteristic
of many companies in the outdoor apparel industry in which sales and profits are
highest in the third calendar quarter. Our products are marketed on a seasonal
basis, with a product mix weighted substantially toward the fall season. Results
of operations in any period should not be considered indicative of the results
to be expected for any future period. The sale of our products is subject to
substantial cyclical fluctuation or impact from unseasonal weather conditions.
Sales tend to decline in periods of recession or uncertainty regarding future
economic prospects that affect consumer spending, particularly on discretionary
items. This cyclicality and any related fluctuation in consumer demand could
have a material adverse effect on the our results of operations and financial
condition.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our primary ongoing funding requirements are to finance working capital and
expansion of the business. At June 30, 2000, we had total cash equivalents of
$12.9 million compared to $4.6 million at June 30, 1999. Cash provided by
operating activities was $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000
compared to cash used in operating activities of $0.4 million for the

10
<PAGE>   11
comparable period in 1999. This increase was primarily due to increased earnings
for the period as compared to the six months ended June 30, 1999.

Our primary capital requirements are for working capital, investing activities
associated with the expansion of our international operations and general
corporate needs. Net cash used in investing activities was $2.9 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2000 and $7.4 million for the comparable period in
1999.

Net cash used in financing activities was $0.7 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $5.7
million for the comparable period in 1999. The increase in net cash used in
financing activities was primarily due to an increase in repayments of
short-term borrowings as compared to the six months ended June 30, 1999.

To fund our working capital requirements, we have available unsecured revolving
lines of credit with aggregate seasonal limits ranging from approximately $115
to $135 million. As of June 30, 2000, $29.3 million was outstanding under these
lines of credit. Additionally, we maintain credit agreements in order to provide
us with unsecured import lines of credit with a combined limit of approximately
$105 million available for issuing documentary letters of credit.

To finance expansion of our domestic distribution center, we entered into a note
purchase agreement in 1998. Pursuant to the note purchase agreement, we issued
senior promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $25 million,
bearing an interest rate of 6.68% and maturing August 11, 2008. Up to an
additional $15 million in shelf notes may be issued under the note purchase
agreement.

EURO CURRENCY CONVERSION

European Union finance members approved 11 of the 15 member states for
participation in economic and monetary union. On January 1, 1999, the Euro was
adopted as the national currency of the participating countries - Austria,
Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands,
Portugal and Spain. Initially, the Euro will be used for non-cash transactions.
Legacy currencies of the participating member states will remain legal tender
until January 1, 2002. On this date, Euro-denominated bills and coins will be
issued for use in cash transactions.

The introduction of the Euro is a significant event with potential implications
for our existing operations within the participating countries. As such, we have
committed resources to conduct risk assessments and to take corrective actions,
where required, to ensure that we are prepared for the introduction of the Euro.
We are undertaking a review of the Euro implementation both in participating and
non-participating countries where we have operations. Progress regarding Euro
implementation is reported periodically to management.

We have not experienced any significant operational disruptions to date and do
not expect the continued implementation of the Euro to cause any significant
operational disruptions. In addition, we have not incurred and do not expect to
incur any significant costs from the continued implementation of the Euro,
including any additional currency risk, which could materially affect our
liquidity or capital resources.
