              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,
         2000 and 1999. 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, 1999 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.

2.       Inventories consist of the following:

                                   (CONTINUED)




5.       Effective July 1, 2000, the Company acquired Quiksilver International
         Pty Ltd ("Quiksilver International"), an Australian company that owns
         the worldwide trademark rights to the "Quiksilver" brand name (other
         than in the United States, Mexico and Puerto Rico where those rights
         were already owned by the Company.) The initial purchase price was
         $23,880,000, which includes cash consideration of $23,380,000 and
         transaction costs of $500,000. Under the terms of the purchase
         agreements, two additional payments will be made, one at the end of
         fiscal 2002 and one at the end of fiscal 2005. Such deferred purchase
         price payments will be contingent on the computed earnings of
         Quiksilver International through June 30, 2005. The deferred purchase
         price payments, which were estimated and discounted to present value,
         total $18,054,000, and are included as a component of the purchase
         price recorded at July 1, 2000. These deferred purchase price
         obligations are reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet
         as a component of long-term debt. The acquisition has been recorded
         using the purchase method of accounting and resulted in goodwill at
         July 1, 2000 of $42,220,000, which is being amortized over 25 years.
         The results of operations of Quiksilver International are included in
         the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income from the acquisition
         date.

6.       In connection with the acquisition of Quiksilver International
         discussed in Note 5 above, the Company's domestic line of credit was
         amended to allow for the acquisition and to increase the Company's
         available credit by $10,000,000 through October 31, 2000. The debt
         incurred to fund the acquisition is expected to be refinanced on a long
         term basis prior to October 31, 2000.

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


THREE MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 2000 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 1999

Net sales for the three months ended July 31, 2000 increased 16.0% to
$122,011,000 from $105,160,000 in the comparable period of the prior year.
Domestic net sales for the three months ended July 31, 2000 increased 15.2% to
$79,971,000 from $69,411,000 in the comparable period of the prior year, and
European net sales increased 17.6% to $42,040,000 from $35,749,000 for those
same periods. As measured in French francs, Quiksilver Europe's functional
currency, net sales in the current year's quarter increased 31.5% compared to
the prior year. Domestic men's sales increased 12.1% to $48,548,000 from
$43,312,000 in the comparable period of the prior year, while domestic women's
sales increased 20.4% to $28,378,000 from $23,569,000. In the domestic division,
sales of snowboards, boots and bindings amounted to $3,045,000 in the current
year's quarter compared to $2,530,000 in the prior year. The domestic men's
sales increase came from the Quiksilver Young Men's and Boys 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 10.7% to
$35,608,000 from $32,172,000, while women's sales increased 79.8% to $6,432,000
from $3,577,000. As measured in French francs, European men's and women's sales
grew 23.8% and 101.1%, respectively. The European sales increase came from all
divisions.

The gross profit margin for the three months ended July 31, 2000 decreased to
38.3% from 39.0% in the comparable period of the prior year. The domestic gross
profit margin decreased to 36.7% from 37.1% in the comparable period of the
prior year, and the European gross profit margin decreased to 41.5% from 42.6%
for those same periods. The domestic gross profit margin decreased primarily
from a higher level of prior season wintersports apparel sales in the three
months ended July 31, 2000 versus the prior year. In Europe, the gross profit
margin decreased because the relatively rapid devaluation of the French franc
versus the U.S. dollar increased product costs in Europe before such price
increases could be fully factored into Quiksilver Europe's wholesale prices.
This trend is expected to continue, but to a lesser degree, in the three months
ending October 31, 2000.

Selling, general and administrative expense ("SG&A") for the three months ended
July 31, 2000 increased 15.0% to $34,194,000 from $29,727,000 in the comparable
period of the prior year. Domestic SG&A increased 15.8% to $21,565,000 from
$18,623,000 in the comparable period of the prior year, and European SG&A
increased 13.7% to $12,629,000 from $11,104,000 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. SG&A expenses decreased as a
percentage of sales primarily as a result of leverage on general overhead
expenses in Europe.

Royalty income exceeded royalty expense for the three months ended July 31, 2000
by $338,000 versus net royalty expense of $676,000 in the comparable period of
the prior year. This increase in royalty income was due primarily to the
acquisition of Quiksilver International Pty Ltd ("Quiksilver International").
Historically, the Company has received domestic royalty income from its Mexico,
watch, sunglass, and outlet store licensees as well as Raisins international
licensees, and the Company has paid royalties on European sales and certain
domestic exports under trademark agreements with Quiksilver International. As of
July 1, 2000, however, the Company acquired Quiksilver International, and such
royalty expense has been eliminated. In addition, as of July 1, 2000 the Company
now also receives royalties from Quiksilver licensees in various other
territories, including Australia, Japan, South Africa, Brazil, Chile, Argentina,
Indonesia, Korea and Eastern Europe.

Interest expense for the three months ended July 31, 2000 increased 86.4% to
$1,713,000 from $919,000 in the comparable period of the prior year. This
increase was primarily due to (i) debt incurred to fund the acquisition of
Quiksilver International, and (ii) higher outstanding balances on the Company's
lines of credit to provide working capital to support the Company's growth.

The effective income tax rate for the three months ended July 31, 2000, which is
based on current estimates of the annual effective income tax rate, decreased to
39.3% from 40.7% in the comparable period of the prior year.

As a result of the above factors, net income for the three months ended July 31,
2000 increased 18.6% to $6,670,000 or $0.29 per share on a diluted basis from
$5,623,000 or $0.24 per share on a diluted basis in the comparable period of the
prior year. Basic net income per share increased to $0.30 for the three months
ended July 31, 2000 from $0.25 in the comparable period of the prior year.


NINE MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 2000 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 1999

Net sales for the nine months ended July 31, 2000 increased 14.0% to
$364,079,000 from $319,235,000 in the comparable period of the prior year.
Domestic net sales for the nine months ended July 31, 2000 increased 15.4% to
$236,150,000 from $204,649,000 in the comparable period of the prior year, and
European net sales increased 11.6% to $127,929,000 from $114,586,000 for those
same periods. As measured in French francs, Quiksilver Europe's net sales in the
first nine months of the current year increased 26.2% compared to the prior
year. Domestic men's sales increased 17.1% to $134,154,000 from $114,543,000 in
the comparable period of the prior year, while domestic women's sales increased
13.5% to $95,707,000 from $84,333,000. In the domestic division, sales of
snowboards, boots and bindings increased 8.9% to $6,289,000 from $5,773,000 in
the prior year. The domestic men's sales increase came from Quiksilver young
men's and boys' 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 5.9% to $107,306,000 from $101,296,000, while women's
sales increased 55.2% to $20,623,000 from $13,290,000. As measured in French
francs, European men's and women's sales grew 19.6% and 76.1%, respectively. The
European sales increase came from all divisions.

The gross profit margin for the nine months ended July 31, 2000 decreased
somewhat to 39.5% from 39.7% in the comparable period of the prior year. The
domestic gross profit margin decreased somewhat to 36.8% from 37.0% in the
comparable period of the prior year, while the European gross profit margin
decreased slightly to 44.5% from 44.6% for those same periods. The decrease in
the domestic gross profit margin resulted primarily from a higher level of prior
season wintersports apparel sales in the third quarter of the current fiscal
year. In Europe, the gross profit margin improvement in the first half of the
current fiscal year from lower sampling costs and a higher level of retail
business was offset by the foreign currency impact in the third quarter of the
current fiscal year as discussed above.

Selling, general and administrative expense ("SG&A") for the nine months ended
July 31, 2000 increased 12.5% to $100,857,000 from $89,675,000 in the comparable
period of the prior year. Domestic SG&A increased 13.3% to $62,725,000 from
$55,354,000 in the comparable period of the prior year, and European SG&A
increased 11.1% to $38,132,000 from $34,321,000 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. SG&A decreased as a
percentage of sales to 27.7% from 28.1%.

Net royalty expense for the nine months ended July 31, 2000 decreased 38.1% to
$1,439,000 from $2,326,000 in the comparable period of the prior year. This
decrease was due primarily to the acquisition of Quiksilver International in the
third quarter of the current fiscal year as discussed above.

Interest expense for the nine months ended July 31, 2000 increased 47.4% to
$3,944,000 from $2,675,000 in the comparable period of the prior year. This
increase was primarily due to (i) debt incurred to fund the acquisition of
Quiksilver International, (ii) borrowings to fund the build-out of the Company's
new domestic headquarters building in Huntington Beach, and (iii) higher
outstanding balances on the Company's lines of credit to provide working capital
to support the Company's growth.

The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended July 31, 2000, which is
based on current estimates of the annual effective income tax rate, decreased to
40.5% from 41.4% in the comparable period of the prior year.

As a result of the above factors, net income for the nine months ended July 31,
2000 increased 17.8% to $22,058,000 or $0.95 per share on a diluted basis from
$18,719,000 or $0.80 per share on a diluted basis in the comparable period of
the prior year. Basic net income per share increased to $0.99 for the nine
months ended July 31, 2000 from $0.85 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,
2000 increased 19.8% to $9,387,000 from $7,837,000 in the comparable period of
the prior year. The $5,563,000 increase in net income and non-cash expenses and
the $8,564,000 decrease in the change in trade accounts receivable was
substantially offset by the $12,556,000 increase in inventories net of changes
in accounts payable.

For the nine months ended July 31, 2000, capital expenditures decreased 31.1% to
$13,530,000 from $19,631,000 in the comparable period of the prior year. The
decrease in spending on leasehold improvements for the new domestic headquarters
in comparison to the prior year was offset somewhat by increased spending on
warehouse and computer equipment. During July 2000, the Company completed the
acquisition of Quiksilver International, including a cash component of the
purchase price totaling $23,880,000, less $427,000 of cash acquired in the
acquisition. (See further discussion below.)

During the nine months ended July 31, 2000, net cash provided by financing
activities totaled $31,433,000 compared to $10,881,000 in the comparable period
of the prior year. The increase in net cash used in investing activities
discussed above was financed primarily by an increase in long-term debt.

In February 2000 the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to
2,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. During the nine months ended
July 31, 2000 the Company repurchased 331,300 shares at a cost of $3,724,000.

Effective July 1, 2000, the Company acquired Quiksilver International Pty Ltd
("Quiksilver International"), an Australian company that owns the worldwide
trademark rights to the "Quiksilver" brand name (other than in the United
States, Mexico and Puerto Rico where those rights were already owned by the
Company.) The initial purchase price was $23,880,000, which includes cash
consideration of $23,380,000 and transaction costs of $500,000. Under the terms
of the purchase agreement, two additional payments will be made, one at the end
of fiscal 2002 and one at the end of fiscal 2005. Such deferred purchase price
payments will be contingent on the computed earnings of Quiksilver International
through June 30, 2005. The deferred purchase price payments, which were
estimated and discounted to present value, total $18,054,000, and are included
as a component of the purchase price recorded at July 1, 2000.

The deferred purchase price obligations are reflected in the Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheet as a component of long-term debt. Noncash interest
expense is recorded to reflect the calculated financing costs associated with
the deferred purchase price obligations. The cash component of the initial
purchase price was financed using the Company's domestic line of credit, which
was amended to allow for the acquisition.

Cash and cash equivalents increased $3,712,000 for the nine months ended July
31, 2000 compared to a decrease of $753,000 in the comparable period of the
prior year. Working capital increased $8,247,000 or 7.5% to $118,070,000 from
$109,823,000 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 3.0% to $110,797,000 at July 31, 2000 from
$107,619,000 at October 31, 1999. Domestic accounts receivable decreased 8.9% to
$67,496,000 at July 31, 2000 from $74,128,000 at October 31, 1999, and European
accounts receivable increased 29.3% to $43,301,000 from $33,491,000 for that
same period. While changes in accounts receivable are subject to seasonal sales
fluctuations, average days sales outstanding at July 31, 2000 is generally
consistent with average days sales outstanding at July 31, 1999.


                                       10
<PAGE>   12

Consolidated inventories increased 15.5% to $83,378,000 at July 31, 2000 from
$72,207,000 at October 31, 1999. Domestic inventories increased 15.3% to
$61,222,000 from $53,098,000 at October 31, 1999, and European inventories
increased 15.9% to $22,156,000 from $19,109,000 for that same period. While
inventory levels are subject to seasonal sales fluctuations, inventory turnover
as measured at July 31, 2000 is generally consistent with inventory turnover at
July 31, 1999.

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 July 31, 2000
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 effect.

Because the average exchange rate between the French franc and the U.S. dollar
weakened during the nine months ended July 31, 2000 in comparison to the nine
months ended July 31, 1999, there was a negative effect on Quiksilver Europe's
reported results in U.S. dollars. European net sales increased 26.2% in French
francs during the nine months ended July 31, 2000 compared to the nine months
ended July 31, 1999, but as translated into U.S. dollars and reported in the
Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, European net sales
increased only 11.6%.
