       INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW REPORT
       --------------------------------------

       To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of
         The Timberland Company:

       We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet
       of The Timberland Company and subsidiaries as of April 1, 1994, and
       the related condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash
       flows for the three-month periods ended April 1, 1994 and April 2,
       1993.  These condensed consolidated financial statements are the
       responsibility of the Company's management.

       We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by
       the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.  A review of
       interim financial information consists principally of applying
       analytical procedures to financial data and of making inquiries of 
       persons responsible for financial and accounting matters.  It is
       substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with
       generally accepted auditing  standards, the objective of which is the
       expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a
       whole.  Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

       Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications
       that should be made to such condensed consolidated financial
       statements for them to be in conformity with generally accepted
       accounting principles.

       We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted
       auditing standards, the consolidated balance sheet of The Timberland
       Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993, and the related
       consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity, and
       cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and, in our
       report dated February 15, 1994, we expressed an unqualified opinion on
       those consolidated financial statements.  In our opinion, the
       information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated
       balance sheet as of December 31, 1993, is fairly stated, in all
       material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from
       which it was derived.

       1.   In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
            condensed consolidated financial statements contain the
            adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company's financial
            position, results of operations and changes in cash flows for the
            interim periods presented.  Such adjustments consisted of normal 
            recurring items.  The unaudited condensed consolidated financial 
            statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated 
            financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 
            annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1993.

            Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistent
            presentation with the current period.


       2.   The results of operations for the three months ended April 1,
            1994 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
            for the full year.  Historically, the Company's revenues have
            been more heavily weighted to the second half of the year.

       3.   Inventories consist of the following (in thousands):

</TABLE>


       4.   Indebtedness

            In April 1994, the Company finalized a private placement with a 
            group of lenders for $65 million of senior unsecured notes (the 
            "Notes") maturing on April 15, 2000. The Notes bear interest at a 
            fixed rate of 7.16% per annum.  The proceeds will be used to repay 
            existing short-term debt and for general corporate purposes.

            On May 4, 1994, the Company entered into a new unsecured
            committed revolving credit agreement (the "Agreement"), with a
            group of banks.  The Agreement, which replaced the Company's
            existing revolving credit facility, extends through May 30, 1996
            and provides for revolving credit loans of up to $125 million,
            subject to a borrowing base formula.  Under the terms of the
            Agreement, the Company may borrow at interest rates based upon
            the lender's cost of funds.  The Agreement provides for a
            facility fee of 3/8% per annum on the full commitment and places
            limitations on the payment of dividends and the incurrence of
            additional debt, and also contains certain other financial and
            operating covenants.

       5.   Distributorship Termination Agreement

            In April 1994, the Company entered into a Distributorship
            Termination Agreement (the "Agreement") with its Italian
            distributor, which terminates all distribution rights of the
            distributor on May 31, 1994.  In accordance with the Agreement, the
            Company will also acquire certain assets of the distributor.  Net
            sales to this distributor represented 5% and 4%, respectively, of
            the Company's consolidated revenues for the first quarter and full
            year of 1993.  The Company recognized no revenue in the first
            quarter of 1994 related to its Italian distributor.  Effective on
            the termination date, Timberland intends to assume the distribution
            of its own products in Italy.

First Quarter 1994 Compared to First Quarter 1993
- - -------------------------------------------------
Net sales for the first quarter of 1994 were $108.1 million, an increase of 53%
over the $70.6 million reported in the same quarter of 1993.  This increase was
attributable to an overall increase in the number of footwear, apparel and
accessory units sold.  Net sales in 1994 reflect a price reduction on certain
products designed to improve the price/value proposition for the consumer.

                                                                          Page 8
       First Quarter 1994 Compared to First Quarter 1993 (continued)
       -------------------------------------------------

       Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 30.1% in 1994 as
       compared to 38.9% in 1993.  This decline is primarily attributed to
       the effect of a price reduction for certain footwear and apparel
       lines, not fully offset by anticipated product cost reductions.

       While overall operating expenses increased to $33.0 million in the
       first quarter of 1994 from $22.3 million in the first quarter of 1993,
       total operating expenses as a percentage of net sales in 1994
       decreased to 30.5% from 31.6% in 1993.  The comparative dollar
       increase in spending was principally attributable to increased sales and
       marketing expenditures and the Company's investment in worldwide 
       infrastructure to support sales growth.

       Interest expense in the first quarter of 1994 increased by $.7 million
       over the comparable period in 1993, primarily as a result of increased
       borrowings in support of sales growth.

       LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
       -------------------------------

       The Company uses unsecured revolving and committed lines of credit as
       the primary sources of financing for its seasonal and other working
       capital requirements.  In anticipation of increased financing
       requirements to support planned near-term growth, the Company completed
       a private placement in April 1994 for $65 million of senior unsecured
       notes and entered into a new revolving credit agreement on May 4, 1994,
       which provides for revolving credit loans of up to $125 million. (See
       notes to condensed consolidated financial statements.)  Management
       believes that such facilities, and the ability to obtain additional      
       financing, together with cash flow from operations, will provide the
       funds necessary to support the Company's business.

       At April 1, 1994, the Company had working capital of $152.1 million
       versus $155.7 million at December 31, 1993 and $94.8 million at April 2,
       1993.  As a result of increased sales, accounts receivable have grown to
       $91.4 million at April 1, 1994 compared to $51.0 million at April 2, 
       1993. Days sales outstanding at April 1, 1994 were 79 days compared to 70
       days at April 2, 1993. Inventories have increased by $37.8 million and 
       $68.8 million since year end 1993 and April 2, 1993, respectively, in 
       support of anticipated sales.  Inventory turns were 2.2 times for the 
       three months ended April 1, 1994 and April 2, 1993.  Short-term 
       borrowings have increased by $37.3 million since December 31, 1993, due 
       primarily to the inventory level at quarter end.  As a result of the 
       increase in overall borrowings, the Company's debt to capital ratio 
       rose to 52% at April 1, 1994 compared to 44% and 32% at December 31, 
       1993 and April 2, 1993, respectively.  The Company's short-term 
       financing requirements have historically reached a peak during the 
       third quarter in response to the seasonal pattern of demand.

       In April 1994, the Company entered into a Distributorship Termination
       Agreement (the "Agreement") with its Italian distributor, which 
       terminates all distribution rights of the distributor on May 31, 1994. 
       In accordance with the Agreement, the Company will also acquire certain
       assets of the distributor.  Net sales to this distributor represented 5%
       and 4%, respectively, of the Company's consolidated revenues for the
       first quarter and full year of 1993.  The Company recognized no revenue
       in the first quarter of 1994 related to its Italian distributor. 
       Effective on the termination date, Timberland intends to assume the
       distribution of its own products in Italy. 

       Capital expenditures were $4.7 million and $3.6 million for the three
       months ended April 1, 1994 and April 2, 1993, respectively.
