              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.      The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
        have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
        principles for interim financial information and with the instructions
        to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not
        include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
        accepted accounting principles for complete financial statement
        presentation.

        The Company, in its opinion, has included all adjustments, consisting
        only of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of
        the results of operations for the three and six months ended April 30,
        1998 and 1997. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes
        thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited financial
        statements and notes for the year ended October 31, 1997 included in the
        Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. Interim results are not
        necessarily indicative of results for the full year due to seasonal and
        other factors.

3.      Net income per share - During the three months ended January 31, 1998,
        the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS")
        No. 128, "Earnings Per Share", which requires the Company to report
        basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS"). Basic EPS is based on the
        weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods, while
        diluted EPS additionally includes the dilutive effect of the Company's
        outstanding stock options computed using the treasury stock method.
        Prior period net income per share data were restated for consistency.

4.      On March 10, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors approved a
        two-for-one split of the Company's Common Stock. The split was effected
        in the form of a dividend on April 24, 1998 to shareholders of record on
        April 16, 1998. All share and per-share information has been restated to
        reflect the stock dividend.

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
         and Results of Operations


THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1998 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1997

Net sales for the three months ended April 30, 1998 increased 28.6% to
$78,192,000 from $60,781,000 in the comparable period of the prior year.
Domestic net sales for the three months ended April 30, 1998 increased to 22.7%
to $49,608,000 from $40,438,000 in the comparable period of the prior year, and
European net sales increased 40.5% to $28,584,000 from $20,343,000 for those
same periods. As measured in French Francs, Quiksilver Europe's functional
currency, net sales in the current year's quarter increased 50.1% compared to
the prior year. Domestic men's sales increased 12.1% to $28,062,000 from
$25,043,000 in the comparable period of the prior year, while domestic women's
sales increased 29.0% to $19,856,000 from $15,395,000. Mervin net sales totaled
$1,690,000 for the current quarter. The domestic mens sales increase came from
the Quiksilver Young Mens, Boys and Accessories divisions. The domestic women's
sales increase came from the Quiksilver Roxy division. In Europe, men's sales
increased 35.5% to $25,687,000 from $18,954,000, while women's sales increased
108.6% to $2,897,000 from $1,389,000.

The gross profit margin for the three months ended April 30, 1998 increased to
41.0% from 39.8% in the comparable period of the prior year. The domestic gross
profit margin increased to 37.0% from 35.7% in the comparable period of the
prior year, and the European gross profit margin increased somewhat to 48.0%
from 47.8% for those same periods. The increase in the domestic gross profit
margin resulted primarily from a change in product mix and the impact of
markdowns taken in the prior year's quarter to sell Pirate Surf product, which
was removed from production plans. In the current year's quarter, there were
more sales of juniors product, which sells at higher average profit margins, and
less sales of private label product, which sells at lower average profit
margins. In Europe, the gross profit margin was relatively stable in the current
quarter compared to the previous year.

Selling, general and administrative expense ("SG&A") for the three months ended
April 30, 1998 increased 38.0% to $21,392,000 from $15,497,000 in the comparable
period of the prior year. Domestic SG&A increased 34.4% to $13,014,000 from
$9,683,000 in the comparable period of the prior year, and European SG&A
increased 44.1% to $8,378,000 from $5,814,000 for those same periods. The
increase in domestic SG&A was primarily due to higher personnel costs related to
increased sales volume, along with increased distribution center expenses. The
increase in European SG&A was primarily due to higher personnel costs related to
increased sales volume, along with increased sales and marketing expenses.

Net royalty expense for the three months ended April 30, 1998 increased 93.3% to
$659,000 from $341,000 in the comparable period of the prior year. This increase
was due primarily to increased royalty expense related to European sales. The
Company receives domestic royalty income from its Mexico, wetsuit, watch,
sunglass, and outlet store licensees as well as Raisins international licensees,
and Quiksilver Europe pays royalties on European sales under a trademark
agreement with Quiksilver International.

Interest expense for the three months ended April 30, 1998 increased 61.8% to
$691,000 from $427,000 in the comparable period of the prior year. This increase
was primarily due to higher average outstanding balances on the Company's
domestic line of credit. In addition to borrowings that provided working capital
to fund the Company's growth, funds were borrowed to acquire Mervin, upgrade the
Company's computer systems and to equip the Company's new warehouse facility in
Huntington Beach, California.

The effective income tax rate for the three months ended April 30, 1998, which
is based on current estimates of the annual effective income tax rate, increased
to 41.1% from 39.5% in the comparable period of the prior year.

As a result of the above factors, net income for the three months ended April
30, 1998 increased 14.9% to $5,456,000 or $0.38 per share on a diluted basis
from $4,750,000 or $0.34 per share on a diluted basis in


                                       7

<PAGE>   9

the comparable period of the prior year. Basic net income per share increased to
$0.39 for the three months ended April 30, 1998 from $0.34 in the comparable
period of the prior year.


SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1998 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1997

Net sales for the six months ended April 30, 1997 increased 25.0% to
$133,443,000 from $106,725,000 in the comparable period of the prior year.
Domestic net sales for the six months ended April 30, 1998 increased 19.8% to
$82,211,000 from $68,599,000 in the comparable period of the prior year, and
European net sales increased 34.4% to $51,232,000 from $38,126,000 for those
same periods. As measured in French Francs, Quiksilver Europe's net sales in the
first six months of the current year increased 48.0% compared to the prior year.
Domestic men's sales increased 9.2% to $48,965,000 from $44,846,000 in the
comparable period of the prior year, while domestic women's sales increased
26.9% to $30,144,000 from $23,753,000. Mervin net sales totaled $3,102,000 for
the six months ended April 30, 1998. The domestic mens sales increase came from
all divisions except private label. The domestic womens sales increase came from
the Quiksilver Roxy division. In Europe, men's sales increased 29.9% to
$47,097,000 from $36,256,000, while women's sales increased 121.1% to $4,135,000
from $1,870,000.

The gross profit margin for the six months ended April 30, 1998 increased to
40.5% from 39.1% in the comparable period of the prior year. The domestic gross
profit margin increased to 37.1% from 35.4% in the comparable period of the
prior year, and the European gross profit margin was consistent at 45.9% for
those same periods. The increase in the domestic gross profit margin resulted
primarily from a change in product mix and the impact of selling excess raw
materials during the prior year's six months at margins that were less than
normal wholesale and from markdowns taken during the prior year's six months to
sell Pirate Surf product, which was removed from production plans. In the
current year's six months, there were more sales of juniors product, which sells
at higher average profit margins, and less sales of private label product, which
sells at lower average profit margins.

Selling, general and administrative expense ("SG&A") for the six months ended
April 30, 1998 increased 31.6% to $38,787,000 from $29,467,000 in the comparable
period of the prior year. Domestic SG&A increased 29.4% to $23,273,000 from
$17,992,000 in the comparable period of the prior year, and European SG&A
increased 35.2% to $15,514,000 from $11,475,000 for those same periods. The
increase in domestic SG&A was primarily due to higher personnel costs related to
increased sales volume, along with increased distribution center expenses. The
increase in European SG&A was primarily due to higher personnel costs related to
increased sales volume, along with increased sales and marketing expenses.

Net royalty expense for the six months ended April 30, 1998 increased 60.0% to
$976,000 from $610,000 in the comparable period of the prior year. This increase
was due primarily to increased royalty expense related to European sales.

Interest expense for the six months ended April 30, 1998 increased 76.9% to
$1,263,000 from $714,000 in the comparable period of the prior year. This
increase was primarily due to higher average outstanding balances on the
Company's domestic line of credit. In addition to borrowings that provided
working capital to fund the Company's growth, funds were borrowed to acquire
Mervin, upgrade the Company's computer systems and to equip the Company's new
warehouse facility in Huntington Beach, California.

The effective income tax rate for the six months ended April 30, 1998, which is
based on current estimates of the annual effective income tax rate, increased to
41.1% from 39.8% in the comparable period of the prior year.

As a result of the above factors, net income for the six months ended April 30,
1998 increased 16.5% to $7,571,000 or $0.53 per share on a diluted basis from
$6,499,000 or $0.46 per share on a diluted basis in the comparable period of the
prior year. Basic net income per share increased to $0.54 for the six months
ended April 30, 1998 from $0.47 in the comparable period of the prior year.

FINANCIAL POSITION, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

The Company finances its capital investments and seasonal working capital
requirements with funds generated by operations and its bank revolving lines of
credit.

Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended April 30, 1998
was $9,244,000 compared to $12,293,000 in the comparable period of the prior
year. The $3,049,000 decrease in cash used in operating activities was due to a
combination of factors. Net income and noncash expenses increased $2,830,000
during the six months ended April 30, 1998 compared to the six months ended
April 30, 1997, and cash used to reduce accrued liabilities decreased $3,125,000
in the six months ended April 30, 1998 compared to the six months ended April
30, 1997, primarily as a result of lower payments during the current year for
employee benefit programs and sales taxes in Quiksilver Europe. Offsetting these
two factors was an increase of $1,236,000 in cash used for inventories, net of
the increase in accounts payable, and an increase of $2,256,000 of cash used to
support higher levels of trade and other accounts receivable.

For the six months ended April 30, 1998, capital expenditures increased 85.6% to
$7,456,000 from $4,018,000 in the comparable period of the prior year primarily
due to investments during the six months ended April 30, 1998 in retail space 
in Paris and the domestic distribution center in Huntington Beach, California.

During the six months ended April 30, 1998, net cash provided by financing
activities totaled $15,234,000 compared to $13,251,000 in the comparable period
of the prior year. Borrowings were higher during the first six months of fiscal
1998 primarily as a result of the increased investments discussed above.

The net decrease in cash and cash equivalents for the six months ended April 30,
1998 was $2,145,000 compared to $3,125,000 in the comparable period of the prior
year. Cash and cash equivalents decreased to $1,958,000 at April 30, 1998 from
$4,103,000 at October 31, 1997, while working capital increased $5,271,000 or
7.8% to $72,564,000 from $67,293,000 for that same period. The Company believes
its current lines of credit are adequate to cover its seasonal working capital
and other requirements for the foreseeable future and that increases in its
lines of credit can be obtained as needed to fund future growth.

Accounts receivable increased 22.6% to $67,036,000 at April 30, 1998 from
$54,668,000 at October 31, 1997. Domestic accounts receivable increased 18.2% to
$43,616,000 at April 30, 1998 from $36,887,000 at October 31, 1997, and European
accounts receivable increased 31.7% to $23,420,000 from $17,781,000 for that
same period. These increases in accounts receivable are generally consistent
with the increase in net sales.

Consolidated inventories increased 13.3% to $54,792,000 at April 30, 1998 from
$48,372,000 at October 31, 1997. Domestic inventories increased 10.6% to
$42,859,000 from $38,758,000 at October 31, 1997, and European inventories
increased 24.1% to $11,933,000 from $9,614,000 for that same period. Inventories
increased primarily due to seasonal factors and to support higher planned sales
levels in current and future seasons.

Customers of the Company have experienced financial difficulties, from time to
time, including the filing of reorganization proceedings under bankruptcy laws.
The Company has not incurred significant losses outside the normal course of
business as a result of the financial difficulties of these customers.

FINANCIAL POSITION, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY (CONTINUED)

While management believes that allowances for doubtful accounts at April 30,
1998 are adequate, the Company carefully monitors developments regarding its
major customers. Material financial difficulties encountered by these or other
significant customers could have an adverse impact on the Company's financial
position or results of operations.

FOREIGN CURRENCY

Quiksilver Europe sells in various European countries and collects at future
dates in the customers' local currencies and purchases certain raw materials or
product in currencies other than French Francs. Accordingly, the Company is
exposed to transaction gains and losses that could result from changes in
foreign currency exchange rates. When considered appropriate, management
purchases financial instruments, primarily forward exchange contracts, to reduce
its exposure to these exchange rate fluctuations.

Quiksilver Europe's statements of income are translated from French Francs into
U.S. Dollars at average exchange rates in effect during the reporting period.
When the French Franc strengthens compared to the U.S. Dollar there is a
positive effect on Quiksilver Europe's results as reported in the Company's
Consolidated Financial Statements. Conversely, when the U.S. Dollar strengthens,
there is a negative affect.

European net sales increased 48.0% in French Francs during the six months ended
April 30, 1998 compared to the six months ended April 30, 1997. As measured and
reported in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements Income, European net
sales increased 34.4%.
