         NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Adams Golf, Inc. 
(the "Company") for the three month periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1999 
have been prepared by the Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of 
the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The information furnished 
herein reflects all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals 
and adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly 
state the operating results for the respective periods. However, these 
operating results are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for 
the full fiscal year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally 
included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance 
with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to 
SEC rules and regulations. The notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated 
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the notes to the 
consolidated financial statements contained in the Company's 1998 Annual 
Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 29, 1999.

The Company, founded in 1987, designs, manufactures, markets, and distributes 
premium quality, technologically innovative golf clubs and provides custom 
golf club fitting technology. The Company's primary products are fairway 
woods and drivers that are marketed under the trademarks "Tight Lies" and "SC 
Series," respectively.

2.  MARKETABLE SECURITIES

Marketable securities, primarily consisting of governmental and corporate 
bonds, are managed under agreements with investment managers. The agreements 
provide terms related to the quality, diversification and maturities of the 
investments in the managed portfolios. The investments are classified as 
available-for-sale and are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and 
losses, net of the related tax effect, reported as other comprehensive income 
in the consolidated statement of stockholders' equity. The balance sheet 
classification of the Company's marketable securities is based upon the 
contractual maturity date of such securities.

Marketable securities consist of the following (in thousands):

4.  PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT

The professional services agreement consists of a contract entered into by 
the Company and Nicholas A. Faldo ("Faldo"), a professional golfer, which 
provides for Faldo's endorsement and use of the Company's products, as well 
as the design, development and testing of new technologies and products. As 
consideration for such services, Faldo received 900,000 shares of the 
Company's common stock, which were valued at the fair market value of the 
stock ($11.25 per share) as of May 1, 1998, the effective date of the 
agreement. The value of the stock will be amortized over ten years, which 
represents the estimated period during which the Company will realize 
benefits under the agreement.

5.  INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

The weighted average common shares used for determining basic income (loss) 
per common share were 17,662,189 and 22,479,436 for the three months ended 
March 31, 1998 and 1999, respectively. The effect of dilutive stock options 
added 678,263 shares for the three months ended March 31, 1998, for the 
computation of diluted income per common share. The effect of stock options 
in 1999 was antidilutive.

6.  GEOGRAPHIC SEGMENT AND DATA

In 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 131, DISCLOSURES ABOUT SEGMENTS OF AN 
ENTERPRISE AND RELATED INFORMATION. This statement establishes standards for 
reporting information about operating segments and related disclosures about 
products and services, geographic areas and major customers.

The Company generates substantially all revenues from the design, 
manufacturing, marketing and distribution of premium quality, technologically

At March 31, 1999, the Company has no assets outside of the United States.

7.  NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The Company is assessing the reporting and disclosure requirements of SFAS 
No. 133, ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES. This 
statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative 
instruments and hedging activities. The statement is effective for financial 
statements for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. The Company 
believes SFAS No. 133 will not have a material impact on its financial 
statements or accounting policies. The Company will adopt the provisions of 
SFAS No. 133 in the first quarter of 2000.

8.  ACQUISITION

On April 30, 1999, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain 
liabilities of its exclusive distributor for the United Kingdom, which was 
majority owned by Faldo. Consideration for these assets included 
approximately $229,000 in cash and a contingent cash payment of $200,000 due 
at the end of 1999 based upon the achievement of certain minimum levels of 
operating results. As the acquisition occurred subsequent to March 31, 1999, 
the condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect any activity 
related to the acquisition.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the 
attached unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes 
thereto, and with the Company's consolidated financial statements and notes 
thereto for the year ended December 31, 1998.

OVERVIEW

The Company designs, manufactures, markets and distributes premium quality, 
technologically innovative golf clubs. Founded in 1987, the Company operated 
initially as a components supplier and contract manufacturer. Thereafter, the 
Company established its custom fitting operation which currently services a 
network of over 100 certified custom fitting accounts. In the fall of 1995, 
the Company introduced the original Tight Lies fairway wood and, in December 
1996, the Company extended the Tight Lies line to include the Tight Lies 
Strong 3, Strong 5 and Strong 7, with the Tight Lies Strong 9 being 
introduced in January 1998. Sales of the Tight Lies line of products 
increased significantly subsequent to the second quarter of 1997 when the 
Company launched an infomercial relating to the original Tight Lies fairway 
wood. To further enhance the Tight Lies line of products, the Company 
introduced the Strong 2 Tour Brassie and the Strong 11 in late August 1998. 
The Company introduced the SC Series Titanium drivers and the Faldo Series 
wedges in January 1999. Sales of these new products were not significant 
during the three months ended March 31, 1999. The Company's net sales are 
primarily derived from sales to on-and off-course golf shops and selected 
sporting goods retailers and, to a lesser extent, direct sales to consumers, 
international distributors and the Company's custom fitting accounts.

The Company believes that during the second half of 1998, the golf industry 
experienced declining sales, which situation stabilized somewhat during the 
first quarter of 1999. No assurances can be given that demand for the 
Company's current products or the introduction of new products will allow the 
Company to achieve historical levels of sales in the future.

The Company does not currently manufacture the components required to 
assemble its golf clubs, relying instead on various component suppliers. 
Fairway wood components are each available from multiple suppliers. 
Currently, however, certain components for the new SC Series Titanium drivers 
and the Faldo Series wedges are produced by a single supplier. Costs of the 
Company's current Tight Lies line of fairway woods, new SC Series Titanium 
drivers and Faldo Series wedges consist primarily of component parts, 
including the head, shaft and grip. To a lesser extent, the Company's cost of 
goods sold includes labor and occupancy costs in connection with the 
inspection, testing and assembly of component parts at its facility in Plano, 
Texas.

</TABLE>

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999

Net sales decreased to $8.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999 
from $24.5 million for the comparable period of 1998, primarily due to high 
levels of Tight Lies fairway wood inventory at retailers and the 
implementation of a new pricing structure which resulted in lower suggested 
retail prices and consequently lower wholesale prices to retail customers. 
Management believes that by March 31, 1999 retail inventories had been 
reduced to levels appropriate for the Company's market share, a situation 
that should result in re-stocking orders during subsequent periods. Also, 
during the three months ended March 31, 1999, net sales do not include a 
material amount of revenues from the SC Series Titanium drivers due to delays 
in the manufacture of certain component parts. These manufacturing delays 
have been largely resolved, and the Company expects to eliminate the 
resulting backlog of orders for these new products during the second quarter 
of 1999. See "Certain Business Considerations" below. Net sales of the Tight 
Lies line of fairway woods were $7.6 million, or 88.4% of net sales, for the 
three months ended March 31, 1999 compared to $23.8 million, or 97.3% of net 
sales, for the three months ended March 31, 1998. Net sales of other product 
lines for the three months ended March 31, 1999 increased to $1.0 million 
from $0.7 million for the comparable period of 1998, and increased as a 
percentage of net sales to 11.6% from 2.9%, respectively. Net sales of the 
Company's products outside the U.S. decreased to $1.3 million for the three 
months ended March 31, 1999 from $1.4 million for the three months ended 
March 31, 1998, but increased as a percentage of net sales to 15.1% from 
5.7%, respectively.

Cost of goods sold decreased to $3.2 million for the three months ended March 
31, 1999 from $5.9 million for the comparable period of 1998, and increased 
as a percentage of net sales to 37.3% from 23.9%, respectively, primarily due 
to lower average selling prices during the three months ended March 31, 1999 
resulting from the Company's new suggested retail pricing structure and 
customer rebate program, an increase of sales to retailers compared to sales 
to direct consumers, increased overhead costs resulting from a larger, leased 
production facility and due to costs associated with the serialization of all 
fairway woods and drivers.

Operating expenses are comprised primarily of selling and royalty expenses, 
general and administrative expenses, and, to a lesser extent, research and 
development expenses. Selling and royalty expenses increased to $8.7 million 
for the three months ended March 31, 1999 from $6.2 million for the 
comparable period of 1998 as a result of hiring additional employees and 
                                       
                                       11

increased marketing and advertising efforts. During the three months ended 
March 31, 1999, the Company advertised extensively utilizing both television 
and print media in order to promote the introduction of the SC Series 
Titanium driver and to promote sell-through of the Tight Lies inventory at 
retailers. General and administrative expenses, including provisions for bad 
debts, decreased to $2.1 million, or 24.4% as a percentage of net sales, for 
the three months ended March 31, 1999 from $3.3 million, or 13.5% as a 
percentage of net sales, for the comparable period ended March 31, 1998, 
primarily due to elimination of incentive compensation, a decrease in the use 
of outside services, and a reduction in bad debt expense as a result of 
increased collection efforts. Research and development expenses for the three 
months ended March 31, 1999 increased to $0.5 million from $0.2 million for 
the same period in 1998, and increased as a percentage of net sales to 5.5% 
from 1.0%, primarily due to the addition of employees and tooling expenses 
associated with the development of new products.

As a result of the above changes, operating loss was $6.1 million for the 
three months ended March 31, 1999 compared to operating income of $8.9 
million for the comparable period of 1998.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 1999 was 40.4% 
compared to 35.7% for the comparable period in the prior year. The income tax 
benefit of $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999 results 
primarily from tax losses, including non-taxable interest income, which are 
available to the Company.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash and cash equivalents decreased to $15.5 million at March 31, 1999 from 
$23.7 million at December 31, 1998, primarily as a result of $3.6 million 
used in operations and $4.6 million used for investing activities. The 
decrease in cash flows provided by operations was primarily a result of the 
net loss. Primary uses of operating cash flows were increases in trade 
receivables and prepaid expenses of $1.3 million and $1.0 million, 
respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 1999, which was offset by 
a $1.6 million increase in accounts payable related to increased advertising 
expenditures. The increase in trade receivables is primarily the result of an 
increase in sales near the end of the three month period ended March 31, 
1999, and the increase in prepaid expenses is the result of prepayments of 
advertising, inventory and insurance.

During the fourth quarter of 1998, the Company granted to retailers an 
unconditional credit, which aggregated $4.3 million, in connection with the 
Company's new suggested retail pricing structure. The unconditional credit 
reduced cash flows from operations by $2.1 million during the three months 
ended March 31, 1999. Cash flows during the second quarter of 1999 will also 
be negatively impacted by the unconditional credit which the Company expects 
to be fully utilized by June 30, 1999. The Company does not expect additional 
changes to its wholesale pricing structure during the remainder of 1999.

Cash used in investing activities of $4.6 million for the three months ended 
March 31, 1999 is primarily related to purchases of marketable securities, 
which approximated $3.5 million, and purchases of computer equipment and 
software, which approximated $1.1 million. The Company anticipates making 
capital expenditures in the ordinary course of business of approximately $1.0 
million in the balance of 1999, which includes additional information system 
enhancements and additional research and development equipment.

Working capital approximated $47.0 million at March 31, 1999 compared to 
$53.0 million at December 31, 1998.

The Company has a $10.0 million revolving credit facility, which expires on 
May 31, 2000. At March 31, 1999, the Company had no outstanding borrowings 
under this facility. Borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility 
agreement bear interest at rates based on the lending bank's general 
refinance rate of interest or certain LIBOR rates of interest. During the 
first quarter of 1998, the Company borrowed approximately $1.1 million in the 
form of a note payable to the Company's founder, Chief Executive Officer and 
President to be used for working capital purposes. The remaining principal 
amount of the note (approximately $175,000 at March 31, 1999) was paid April 
14, 1999 at an interest rate of 5.39% per annum.

The Company is not aware of any event or trend which would potentially affect 
its liquidity. In the event such a trend would develop, the Company believes 
that projected cash flows from operations, current cash reserves and the 
revolving credit facility would be sufficient to meet operating needs and 
capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months.

SEASONALITY AND QUARTERLY FLUCTUATIONS

Golf generally is regarded as a warm weather sport and sales of golf 
equipment historically have been strongest during the second and third 
quarters, with the weakest sales occurring during the fourth quarter. In 
addition, sales of golf clubs are dependent on discretionary consumer 
spending, which may be affected by general economic conditions. A decrease in 
consumer spending generally could result in decreased spending on golf 
equipment, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's 
business, operating results and financial condition. In addition, the 
Company's future results of operations could be affected by a number of other 
factors, such as unseasonal weather patterns; demand for and market 
acceptance of the Company's existing and future products; new product 
introductions by the Company's competitors; competitive pressures resulting 
in lower than expected average selling prices; and the volume of orders that 
are received and that can be fulfilled in a quarter. Any one or more of these 
factors could result in the Company failing to achieve its expectations as to 
future sales or net income. See "Forward Looking Statements" below.

YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE

The year 2000 will have a broad impact on the business environment in which 
the Company operates due to the possibility that many computerized systems 
across all industries will be unable to process information containing the 
dates beginning in the year 2000. The Company relies on its internal 
information technology systems in operating and monitoring many significant 
aspects of its business, including financial systems, customer services, 
infrastructure and network and telecommunications equipment. The Company also 
relies directly and indirectly on the systems of external business 
enterprises such as suppliers, customers, creditors, financial organizations 
and domestic and international governments. The Company has established an 
enterprise-wide program to prepare its computer systems and applications for 
the year 2000 and is utilizing both internal and external resources to 
identify, correct and test the systems for Year 2000 compliance. The 
Company's legacy information system, as well as the information system 
currently being implemented, are certified as Year 2000 compliant. The 
Company substantially completed an inventory of all information technology 
and non-information technology equipment as of December 31, 1998 and 
anticipates that the majority of its remediation plan will be completed by 
June 30, 1999. The Company expects that all systems critical to the conduct 
of the Company's operations will be Year 2000 compliant prior to the end of 
the 1999 calendar year.

The nature of the Company's business is such that the business risks 
associated with the Year 2000 can be reduced by closely assessing the vendors 
supplying the components used in assembling the Company's products. Because 
third party failures could have a material impact on the Company's ability to 
conduct business, questionnaires have been sent to the Company's significant 
vendors to obtain reasonable assurance that plans are being developed to 
address the Year 2000 issue. The returned questionnaires are currently being 
assessed by the Company, and are being categorized based upon readiness for 
the Year 2000 issues and prioritized in order of significance to the business 
of the Company. To the extent that vendors do not provide the Company with 
satisfactory evidence of their readiness to handle Year 2000 issues, 
contingency plans will be developed by July 31, 1999.
                                       


                                       13

<PAGE>
                                       
The Company does not believe the costs related to the Year 2000 compliance 
project will be material to its financial position or results of operations. 
However, the cost of the project and the date on which the Company plans to 
complete the Year 2000 modifications are based on management's best 
estimates, which were derived utilizing numerous assumptions of future events 
including the continued availability of certain resources, third party 
modification plans, and other factors. Unanticipated failures by critical 
vendors, as well as failure by the Company to execute its own remediation 
plans, could have a material adverse effect on the cost of the project, its 
completion date, and the Company's results of operations and financial 
position. As a result, there can be no assurance that these forward-looking 
estimates will be achieved and the actual cost and vendor compliance could 
differ materially from those plans, resulting in material financial risk.

CERTAIN BUSINESS CONSIDERATIONS

The Company's growth and success depend, in large part, on its ability to 
successfully develop and introduce new products accepted in the marketplace. 
Historically, a large portion of new golf club technologies and product 
designs have been met with consumer rejection. No assurance can be given that 
the Company's new SC Series Titanium drivers, Faldo Series wedges or other 
new products will meet with market acceptance. Failure by the Company to 
identify and develop innovative new products that achieve widespread market 
acceptance would adversely affect the Company's future growth and 
profitability.

The Company's ability to compete effectively in the golf club market is also 
dependent on its ability to maintain the proprietary nature of its 
technologies and products. Although the Company currently has one or more 
patents pending with respect to its new products and/or the proprietary 
technologies underlying such products, no assurance can be given that patents 
will ultimately be issued or of the benefits of protection afforded thereby. 
Policing unauthorized use of the Company's intellectual property rights can 
be difficult and expensive, and while the Company takes appropriate action 
whenever it discovers any of its products or designs have been copied, 
knock-offs and counterfeit products are a persistent problem in the 
performance-oriented golf club industry.

liquidity.
