              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,
         1999 and 1998. 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, 1998 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.

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
         and Results of Operations


THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1999 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1998

Net sales for the three months ended April 30, 1999 increased 63.9% to
$128,128,000 from $78,192,000 in the comparable period of the prior year.
Domestic net sales for the three months ended April 30, 1999 increased 67.5% to
$83,093,000 from $49,608,000 in the comparable period of the prior year, and
European net sales increased 57.6% to $45,035,000 from $28,584,000 for those
same periods. As measured in French Francs, Quiksilver Europe's functional
currency, net sales in the current year's quarter increased 55% compared to the
prior year. Domestic men's sales increased 53.3% to $43,016,000 from $28,062,000
in the comparable period of the prior year, while domestic women's sales
increased 95.2% to $38,764,000 from $19,856,000. In the domestic division, sales
of snowboards, boots and bindings amounted to $1,313,000 in the current year's
quarter compared to $1,690,000 in the prior year. The domestic men's sales
increase came from the Quiksilver Young Men's, Boys and Accessories divisions
and QS Silver Edition. The domestic women's sales increase came from both the
Quiksilver Roxy and Raisins divisions. In Europe, men's sales increased 47.4% to
$37,855,000 from $25,687,000, while women's sales increased 147.8% to $7,180,000
from $2,897,000. The European sales increase came from all divisions.

The gross profit margin for the three months ended April 30, 1999 decreased to
40.8% from 41.0% in the comparable period of the prior year. The domestic gross
profit margin increased somewhat to 37.2% from 37.0% in the comparable period of
the prior year, and the European gross profit margin decreased to 47.6% from
48.0% for those same periods. The domestic gross profit margin was relatively
steady across all divisions. In Europe, the gross profit margin decreased
primarily from higher sampling costs. Sample expenses increased in Europe as
additional samples were produced to support expanded sales efforts in the Boys
and Roxy divisions.

Selling, general and administrative expense ("SG&A") for the three months ended
April 30, 1999 increased 58.7% to $33,957,000 from $21,392,000 in the comparable
period of the prior year. Domestic SG&A increased 62.1% to $21,097,000 from
$13,014,000 in the comparable period of the prior year, and European SG&A
increased 53.5% to $12,860,000 from $8,378,000 for those same periods. The
increase in both domestic and European SG&A was primarily due to higher
personnel costs related to increased sales volume. Primarily as a result of
sales growth in excess of plans that was supported without additional
infrastructure growth, SG&A decreased as a percentage of sales to 26.5% from
27.4%.

Net royalty expense for the three months ended April 30, 1999 increased 47.0% to
$969,000 from $659,000 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, 1999 increased 31.4% to
$908,000 from $691,000 in the comparable period of the prior year. This increase
was primarily due to (i) higher outstanding balances on the Company's domestic
line of credit to provide working capital to support the Company's growth, and
(ii) increased long-term debt in Europe to fund the opening of two company-owned
Boardriders Club stores in Paris.

The effective income tax rate for the three months ended April 30, 1999, which
is based on current estimates of the annual effective income tax rate, increased
to 41.6% from 41.1% in the comparable period of the prior year.

As a result of the above factors, net income for the three months ended April
30, 1999 increased 78.6% to $9,742,000 or $0.41 per share on a diluted basis
from $5,456,000 or $0.25 per share on a diluted basis in the comparable period
of the prior year. Basic net income per share increased to $0.44 for the three
months ended April 30, 1999 from $0.26 in the comparable period of the prior
year.

SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1999 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1998

Net sales for the six months ended April 30, 1998 increased 60.4% to
$214,075,000 from $133,443,000 in the comparable period of the prior year.
Domestic net sales for the six months ended April 30, 1999 increased 64.5% to
$135,238,000 from $82,211,000 in the comparable period of the prior year, and
European net sales increased 53.9% to $78,837,000 from $51,232,000 for those
same periods. As measured in French Francs, Quiksilver Europe's net sales in the
first six months of the current year increased 49.0% compared to the prior year.
Domestic men's sales increased 45.5% to $71,231,000 from $48,965,000 in the
comparable period of the prior year, while domestic women's sales increased
101.6% to $60,764,000 from $30,144,000. In the domestic division, sales of
snowboards, boots and bindings amounted to $3,243,000 in the current year's six
month period compared to $3,102,000 in the prior year. The domestic men's sales
increase came from Quiksilver young men's, boys' and accessories and QS Silver
Edition divisions. The domestic women's sales increase came from both the
Quiksilver Roxy and Raisins divisions. In Europe, men's sales increased 46.8% to
$69,124,000 from $47,097,000, while women's sales increased 134.9% to $9,713,000
from $4,135,000. The European sales increase came from all divisions.

The gross profit margin for the six months ended April 30, 1999 decreased to
40.1% from 40.5% in the comparable period of the prior year. The domestic gross
profit margin decreased somewhat to 36.9% from 37.1% in the comparable period of
the prior year, and the European gross profit margin decreased to 45.5% from
45.9% for those same periods. The decrease in the domestic gross profit margin
resulted primarily from an increase in the sale of clearance goods in the first
quarter of the current fiscal year. In Europe, the gross profit margin decreased
primarily from higher sampling costs and markdowns taken in the first quarter of
the current year to sell excess current fall/winter product. Sample expenses
increased in Europe as additional samples were produced to support expanded
sales efforts in the Boys and Roxy divisions.

Selling, general and administrative expense ("SG&A") for the six months ended
April 30, 1999 increased 54.6% to $59,948,000 from $38,787,000 in the comparable
period of the prior year. Domestic SG&A increased 57.8% to $36,731,000 from
$23,273,000 in the comparable period of the prior year, and European SG&A
increased 49.7% to $23,217,000 from $15,514,000 for those same periods. The
increase in both domestic and European SG&A was primarily due to higher
personnel costs related to increased sales volume. Primarily as a result of
sales growth in excess of plans that was supported without additional
infrastructure growth, SG&A decreased as a percentage of sales to 28.0% from
29.1%.

Net royalty expense for the six months ended April 30, 1999 increased 69.1% to
$1,650,000 from $976,000 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, 1999 increased 39.0% to
$1,756,000 from $1,263,000 in the comparable period of the prior year. This
increase was primarily due to (i) higher outstanding balances on the Company's
domestic line of credit to provide working capital to support the Company's
growth, and (ii) increased long-term debt in Europe to fund the opening of two
company-owned Boardriders Club stores in Paris.

The effective income tax rate for the six months ended April 30, 1999, which is
based on current estimates of the annual effective income tax rate, increased to
41.6% from 41.1% in the comparable period of the prior year.

As a result of the above factors, net income for the six months ended April 30,
1999 increased 73.0% to $13,096,000 or $0.56 per share on a diluted basis from
$7,571,000 or $0.35 per share on a diluted basis in the comparable period of the
prior year. Basic net income per share increased to $0.60 for the six months
ended April 30, 1999 from $0.36 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, 1999
was $7,684,000 compared to $9,244,000 in the comparable period of the prior
year. The $1,560,000 decrease in cash used in operating activities was due to a
combination of factors. Net income and noncash expenses increased $6,454,000
during the six months ended April 30, 1999 compared to the six months ended
April 30, 1998, while cash used for inventories, net of the increase in accounts
payable decreased $5,299,000. Offsetting these two factors was an increase of
$9,772,000 of cash used to support higher levels of trade and other accounts
receivable.

For the six months ended April 30, 1999, capital expenditures increased 82.9% to
$13,638,000 from $7,456,000 in the comparable period of the prior year. This
increase resulted from spending on leasehold improvements for the new domestic
headquarters and to a lesser extent, increased investments in Quiksvilles and
company-owned Boardriders clubs in comparison to the prior year.

During the six months ended April 30, 1999, net cash provided by financing
activities totaled $18,263,000 compared to $15,234,000 in the comparable period
of the prior year. Borrowings were higher during the first six months of fiscal
1999 primarily as a result of the increase in cash used in investing activities
as discussed above.

The net decrease in cash and cash equivalents for the six months ended April 30,
1999 was $2,972,000 compared to $2,145,000 in the comparable period of the prior
year. Cash and cash equivalents decreased to $57,000 at April 30, 1999 from
$1,958,000 at October 31, 1998, while working capital increased $7,761,000 or
8.4% to $100,082,000 from $92,321,000 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 29.1% to $101,205,000 at April 30, 1999 from
$78,390,000 at October 31, 1998. Domestic accounts receivable increased 23.7% to
$67,216,000 at April 30, 1999 from $54,327,000 at October 31, 1998, and European
accounts receivable increased 41.3% to $33,989,000 from $24,063,000 for that
same period. Both domestically and in Europe, these increases in accounts
receivable are generally consistent with the increases in net sales.

Consolidated inventories decreased 4.9% to $67,110,000 at April 30, 1999 from
$70,575,000 at October 31, 1998. Domestic inventories decreased 0.4% to
$53,079,000 from $53,295,000 at October 31, 1998, and European inventories
decreased 18.8% to $14,031,000 from $17,280,000 for that same period.

In recent years, certain customers of the Company have experienced financial
difficulties, 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 April 30,
1999 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 49.0% in French Francs during the six months ended
April 30, 1999 compared to the six months ended April 30, 1998. As measured and
reported in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements Income, European net
sales increased 53.9%.

YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE

The Company is continuing with its Year 2000 Compliance Project ("Y2K Project")
as outlined in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
October 31, 1998. Original estimates that the Company's accounts payable and
general ledger systems would be upgraded by the third quarter of fiscal 1999
have been revised. Currently, it is estimated that this phase of the Y2K Project
will be completed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999. Other estimates
regarding time of completion and the total cost of the Y2K Project generally
remain unchanged.
