              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 nine months ended July 31,
         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.       During the three months ended April 30, 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.

5.       Effective July 17, 1998, the Company's loan agreement with a U.S. bank
         was amended to add a $10,000,000 term loan generally at LIBOR plus
         1.35%, extend the maturity date of the revolving line of credit to May
         2000, and to reduce the interest rate on line of credit borrowings
         based on LIBOR to 1.25% above LIBOR.

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


THREE MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 1998 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 1997

Net sales for the three months ended July 31, 1998 increased 33.7% to
$78,265,000 from $58,541,000 in the comparable period of the prior year.
Domestic net sales for the three months ended July 31, 1998 increased 30.8% to
$49,981,000 from $38,216,000 in the comparable period of the prior year, and
European net sales increased 39.2% to $28,284,000 from $20,325,000 for those
same periods. As measured in French Francs, Quiksilver Europe's functional
currency, net sales in the current year's quarter increased 41.8% compared to
the prior year. Domestic mens sales increased 14.3% to $31,560,000 from
$27,608,000 in the comparable period of the prior year, while domestic womens
sales increased 68.2% to $15,979,000 from $9,501,000. Sales of snowboards, boots
and bindings amounted to $2,442,000 for the current year's quarter compared to
$1,107,000 in the prior year (from the date of the Mervin acquisition). The
domestic mens sales increase came from the Quiksilver Young Mens, Boys and
Accessories divisions. The domestic womens sales increase came from the Roxy
division. In Europe, mens sales increased 31.1% to $25,864,000 from $19,723,000,
while womens sales increased 302.0% to $2,420,000 from $602,000.

The gross profit margin for the three months ended July 31, 1998 increased
somewhat to 38.1% from 37.8% in the comparable period of the prior year. The
domestic gross profit margin increased to 35.8% from 35.3%, and the European
gross profit margin decreased somewhat to 42.2% from 42.4% for those same
periods. The increase in the domestic gross profit margin resulted primarily
from a change in product mix. In the current year's quarter, there were more
sales of juniors sportswear 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 three months ended
July 31, 1998 increased 36.0% to $21,904,000 from $16,100,000 in the comparable
period of the prior year. Domestic SG&A increased 33.1% to $12,949,000 from
$9,729,000 in the comparable period of the prior year, and European SG&A
increased 40.6% to $8,955,000 from $6,371,000 for those same periods. The
increase in domestic SG&A was primarily due to higher personnel and other costs
related to increased sales volume, along with increased distribution center
expenses. The increase in European SG&A was primarily due higher personnel and
other costs related to increased sales volume.

Net royalty expense for the three months ended July 31, 1998 increased 80.0% to
$607,000 from $338,000 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 July 31, 1998 increased 27.8% to
$672,000 from $526,000 in the comparable period of the prior year. This increase
was primarily due to higher long term liabilities in Europe, which resulted from
borrowings to begin the build out of two company-owned boardriders clubs in
Paris.

The effective income tax rate for the three months ended July 31, 1998, which is
based on current estimates of the annual effective income tax rate, decreased to
40.5% from 41.7% in the comparable period of the prior year. The prior year's
income tax rate was adversely affected by an increase in the French tax rate.

As a result of the above factors, net income for the three months ended July 31,
1998 increased 37.2% to $4,078,000 or $0.28 per share on a diluted basis from
$2,972,000 or $0.21 per share on a diluted basis in the comparable period of the
prior year. Basic net income per share increased to $0.29 per share for the
three months ended July 31, 1998 from $0.21 per share in the comparable period
of the prior year.

NINE MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 1998 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 1997

Net sales for the nine months ended July 31, 1998 increased 28.1% to
$211,708,000 from $165,266,000 in the comparable period of the prior year.
Domestic net sales for the nine months ended July 31, 1998 increased 23.8% to
$132,192,000 from $106,815,000 in the comparable period of the prior year, and
European net sales increased 36.0% to $79,516,000 from $58,451,000 for those
same periods. As measured in French Francs, Quiksilver Europe's net sales in the
first nine months of the current year increased 45.5% compared to the prior
year. Domestic men's sales increased 11.1% to $80,525,000 from $72,454,000 in
the comparable period of the prior year, while domestic women's sales increased
38.7% to $46,123,000 from $33,254,000. Sales of snowboards, boots and bindings
amounted to $5,544,000 for the current year's nine months compared to $1,107,000
in the prior year (from the date of the Mervin acquisition). The Domestic men's
sales increase came from all divisions except Private Label. The Domestic womens
sales increase came from the Quiksilver Roxy division. In Europe, mens sales
increased 30.3% to $72,961,000 from $55,979,000, while women's sales increased
165.2% to $6,555,000 from $2,472,000.

The gross profit margin for the nine months ended July 31, 1998 increased to
39.6% from 38.7% in the comparable period of the prior year. The domestic gross
profit margin increased to 36.6% from 35.3% in the comparable period of the
prior year, and the European gross profit margin decreased slightly to 44.6%
from 44.7% 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 first half of the prior year at margins that
were less than normal wholesale and from markdowns taken during the first half
of the prior year to sell Pirate Surf product, which was removed from production
plans. In the current year's nine 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 nine months ended
July 31, 1998 increased 33.2% to $60,691,000 from $45,567,000 in the comparable
period of the prior year. Domestic SG&A increased 30.7% to $36,223,000 from
$27,721,000 in the comparable period of the prior year, and European SG&A
increased 37.1% to $24,468,000 from $17,846,000 for those same periods. The
increase in domestic SG&A was primarily due to higher personnel and other costs
related to increased sales volume, along with increased distribution center
expenses. The increase in European SG&A was primarily due to higher personnel
and other costs related to increased sales volume.

Net royalty expense for the nine months ended July 31, 1998 increased 67.0% to
$1,583,000 from $948,000 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 nine months ended July 31, 1998 increased 56.0% to
$1,935,000 from $1,240,000 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 and increased long-term liabilities in Europe
during the third quarter of the current year. In addition to domestic borrowings
that provided working capital to fund the Company's growth, funds were borrowed
to acquire Mervin, upgrade the Company's computer systems, equip the Company's
new warehouse facility in Huntington Beach, California, and in the third quarter
of the current year, to begin the build-out of two Company owned boardriders
clubs in Paris.

The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended July 31, 1998, which is
based on current estimates of the annual effective income tax rate, increased to
40.9% from 40.4% in the comparable period of the prior year.

As a result of the above factors, net income for the nine months ended July 31,
1998 increased 23.0% to $11,649,000 or $0.80 per share from $9,471,000 or $0.67
per share in the comparable period of the prior year. Basic net income per share
increased to $0.83 per share for the nine months ended July 31, 1998 from $0.68
per share 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 provided by operating activities for the nine months ended July 31,
1998 was $7,777,000 compared to net cash used in operating activities of
$6,468,000 in the comparable period of the prior year. This $14,245,000 increase
in cash provided by operating activities was due primarily to the decrease in
cash used for inventories and trade accounts receivable, and a higher level of
net income plus noncash charges. Cash paid for inventories net of changes in
accounts payable decreased by $4,544,000 as a result of improved domestic cash
management, in contrast to the growth in inventories in preparation for the 1998
Fall and Holiday seasons. The increase in trade accounts receivable was
$3,038,000 less in the nine months ended July 31, 1998 compared to the prior
year primarily as a result of improved domestic collection efforts. Net income
plus noncash expenses increased by $4,299,000 comparing the nine months ended
July 31, 1998 to the prior year.

For the nine months ended July 31, 1998, capital expenditures increased 84.2% to
$12,825,000 from $6,962,000 in the comparable period of the prior year primarily
due to investments during the nine months ended July 31, 1998 in retail space in
Paris, the new corporate headquarters building in France, and the domestic
distribution center in Huntington Beach, California.

Effective July 17, 1998, the Company's loan agreement with a U.S. bank was
amended to add a $10,000,000 term loan generally at LIBOR plus 1.35%, extend the
maturity date of the revolving line of credit to May 2000, and to reduce the
interest rate on line of credit borrowings based on LIBOR to 1.25% above LIBOR.

During the nine months ended July 31, 1998, net cash provided by financing
activities totaled $4,598,000 compared to $14,174,000 in the comparable period
of the prior year. These decreased borrowings during the first nine months of
fiscal 1998 result from the improved cash flow from operations as described
above.

The net decrease in cash and cash equivalents for the nine months ended July 31,
1998 was $1,048,000 compared to a decrease of $1,130,000 in the comparable
period of the prior year. Cash and cash equivalents decreased to $3,055,000 at
July 31, 1998 from $4,103,000 at October 31, 1997, while working capital
increased $9,016,000 or 13.4% to $76,309,000 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 11.1% to $60,752,000 at July 31, 1998 from
$54,668,000 at October 31, 1997. Domestic accounts receivable decreased 1.1% to
$36,491,000 at July 31, 1998 from $36,887,000 at October 31, 1997, and European
accounts receivable increased 36.4% to $24,261,000 from $17,781,000 for that
same period. Domestic accounts receivable decreased as a result of improved
collection efforts, while the increases in European accounts receivable is
generally consistent with the increase in European sales.

Consolidated inventories increased 36.0% to $65,797,000 at July 31, 1998 from
$48,372,000 at October 31, 1997. Domestic inventories increased 26.1% to
$48,878,000 from $38,758,000 at October 31, 1997, and European inventories
increased 76.0% to $16,919,000 from $9,614,000 for that same period. The
increase in inventories occurred primarily to support increased sales for the
Fall and Holiday seasons of the current year and from increased product
offerings in Europe.

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.

While management believes that allowances for doubtful accounts at July 31, 1998
are adequate, the Company carefully monitors developments regarding its major
customers. Additional 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.

FINANCIAL POSITION, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY (CONTINUED)


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 affect during the reporting period.
When the French Franc strengthens compared to the U.S. Dollar there is a
positive affect 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.

Because the average exchange rate between the French Franc and the U.S. Dollar
was relatively consistent during the three months ended July 31, 1998 compared
to the three months ended July 31, 1997, there was minimal affect from exchange
rate fluctuations on the comparisons between the periods. European net sales
increased 41.8% in French Francs during the three months ended July 31, 1998
compared to the three months ended July 31, 1997. As measured and reported in
the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, European net sales
increased 39.2%.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 5.  Other Events.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") has recently amended its Rule
14a-4, which governs the use by the Company of discretionary voting authority
with respect to certain shareholder proposals. SEC Rule 14a-4(c)(1) provides
that, if the proponent of a shareholder proposal fails to notify the Company at
least 45 days prior to the month and day of mailing the prior year's proxy
statement, the proxies of the Company's management would be permitted to use
their discretionary authority at the Company's next annual meeting of
shareholders if the proposal were raised at the meeting without any discussion
of the matter in the proxy statement. In order to provide shareholders with
notice of the deadline for the submission of such proposals for the Company's
1999 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the Company hereby notifies all
shareholders of the Company that after December 30, 1998 any shareholder
proposal submitted outside the process of SEC Rule 14a-8 will be considered
untimely for purposes of SEC Rules 14a-4 and 14a-5(e).
