                       NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.    ORGANIZATION

      DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

     Morrow Snowboards, Inc. (the "Company"), headquartered in Salem, Oregon, 
was organized in October 1989 to design, manufacture and market snowboards, 
boots, bindings, apparel and accessories to retail outlets in the United 
States and to international distributors in several foreign countries. The 
Company operates in a single business segment. The consolidated financial 
statements include its wholly-owned subsidiary, Morrow International, Inc., a 
Guam foreign sales corporation. All significant intercompany accounts and 
transactions have been eliminated. 

     The Company operates in a relatively new and rapidly growing segment of 
the sporting goods industry which is highly seasonal. Further, the Company 
has undergone significant expansion since its inception in 1989 in its 
manufacturing, marketing and sales activities. These and other factors 
present certain risks to the future operations of the Company.

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been 
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for 
interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of 
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"). While these 
statements reflect all necessary, normal and recurring adjustments in the 
opinion of management required to present fairly, in all material respects, 
the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company 
at September 30, 1996, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 
1996 and 1995, they do not include all notes required by generally accepted 
accounting principles for complete financial statements. Further information 
is contained in the annual financial statements of the Company and notes 
thereto, for the year ended December 31, 1995, contained in the Company's 
Form 10-K, filed with the Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act 
of 1934. Operating results for the nine month period ended September 30, 
1996, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for 
the full year.

2.    SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

     Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and on deposit and 
highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months 
or less.

      INVENTORIES

     Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using standard 
costs which approximate the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Costs for 
inventory valuation include labor, materials and manufacturing overhead. 

     DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

     Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation of 
property, plant and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over 
the estimated useful lives of the assets (3 to 35 years). Amortization of 
leasehold improvements, facilities and equipment under capital lease is 
provided using the straight-line method over the expected useful lives of the 
assets or the initial term of the lease (including 

                                       7
<PAGE>

periods related to renewal options which are expected to be exercised), 
whichever is shorter. Amortization is included in depreciation expense.

      WARRANTY COSTS

     The Company offers a one-year warranty on its products. The Company 
provides for anticipated warranty expense related to products sold. 

     ADVERTISING AND PROMOTION COSTS

     Advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred and included in 
selling, marketing and customer service expenses.

      REVENUE RECOGNITION

     The Company generally recognizes revenue from the sale of its products 
when the products are shipped to customers.  The Company also manufactures 
private label products under short-term agreements for OEM customers. Revenue 
from the sale of OEM products is recognized when production is completed in 
accordance with customer specifications (completed orders are not subject to 
cancellation), the orders are staged for shipment and the following 
conditions are met: 1) the purchaser has executed an agreement that 
acknowledges the transfer of title and responsibility for the product upon 
invoicing, 2) a cash deposit securing the order has been received, and 3) 
upon acceptance of the invoice, the purchaser has agreed to full payment and 
has assumed the risks associated with any change in market price. In 
addition, the Company only recognizes revenue from OEM customers when 
collectability is reasonably assured.

     INCOME TAXES

     The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of Statement 
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income 
Taxes." SFAS 109 uses the liability method so that deferred taxes are 
determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between 
the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities given the 
provisions of enacted tax laws and tax rates. Deferred income tax expenses or 
credits are based on the changes in the financial statement bases versus the 
tax bases in the Company's assets or liabilities from period to period. 

      PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT COSTS

     Expenditures associated with the development of new products and 
improvements to existing products are expensed as incurred. 

     2.45-FOR-1 STOCK SPLIT

     The Company effected a 2.45-for-1 stock split on November 16, 1995. 
Accordingly, all share and per share data presented in the consolidated 
financial statements and footnotes have been adjusted to reflect the 
2.45-for-1 stock split. 

                                       8
<PAGE>

     NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

     Net income (loss) per share has been computed by dividing net income 
(loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and equivalents 
outstanding (if dilutive). Common share equivalents (if dilutive) included in 
the computation represent shares issuable upon assumed exercise of stock 
options and warrants using the treasury stock method. 

     Pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin 
83, common stock options granted and Convertible Subordinated Debentures 
issued during the 12 months immediately preceding the Company's initial 
public offering date with an exercise or conversion price below the offering 
price of the Company's common stock have been reflected in the net income per 
share calculation for the period ended September 30, 1995 as if they had been 
outstanding for the full period. Shares relating to stock options were 
calculated using the treasury stock method. 

     USE OF ESTIMATES 

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles required management to make estimates and 
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial 
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the 
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     RECLASSIFICATIONS

     Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 
current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on 
previously reported results of operations. 

3.    INVENTORIES
     
Inventories consist of the following:
                                      September 30,            December 31, 
                                         1996                      1995

4.    SIGNIFICANT EVENT

     BUILDING PURCHASE

     During the first quarter of 1996, the Company exercised an option under 
its lease to purchase the administrative and manufacturing facility.  The 
lease was originally recorded as a long-term obligation and the building was 
recorded as an asset under property, plant and equipment.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

     Since its formation, the Company has focused its business activities on 
designing, manufacturing and marketing premium snowboards and related 
products under the "Morrow" brand name and, to a lesser extent, on an OEM 
basis.  In 1996, the Company implemented a business strategy to further 
develop and support "Morrow" branded products and de-emphasize OEM sales.  
The proceeds from the Company's initial public offering in December 1995 has 
provided the capital necessary to implement this strategy. The majority of 
"Morrow" branded product sales occur primarily in the third and fourth 
quarters of the year whereas OEM sales typically occur in the first two 
quarters of the year.

     The Company's net sales increased 49.4% to $22,352,000 for the nine 
months ended September 30, 1996 from $14,963,000 for the first nine months of 
1995.  For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, "Morrow" branded 
snowboard sales represented 68.7% of net sales compared to 46.9% for the nine 
months ended September 30, 1995.  OEM snowboard sales represented 0.9% and 
23.3% of net sales, respectively.  Operating expenses remained relatively 
constant as a percentage of net sales for the first nine months of 1996 
compared to the first nine months of 1995.

     The Company accumulates a significant backlog of sales orders beginning 
in February of each year as a result of preseason orders placed in connection 
with winter sports trade shows.  As the Company delivers snowboards, the 
backlog decreases and is usually eliminated by the end of the year.  The 
Company had net sales of $22,352,000 and estimated open sales orders 
(preseason orders AND new orders) of approximately $7,500,000 at September 
30, 1996.  At September 30, 1995 the Company had net sales of $14,963,000 and 
estimated open sales orders of approximately $7,100,000.  Open sales orders 
are subject to cancellation.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

     This report contains forward-looking statements which are made pursuant 
to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act 
of 1995. The forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that 
could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking 
statements. Morrow Snowboards wishes to caution readers that important 
factors, among others, in some cases have affected, and in the future could 
affect, Morrow Snowboards' actual results and could cause actual consolidated 
results for the first nine months of 1996, and beyond, to differ materially 
from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf 
of, Morrow Snowboards. These factors include, without limitation, new 
initiatives by competitors, price pressures, cancellation of preseason 
orders, sell-through of competitors' products, inventory risks due to shifts 
in market demand, raw materials costs, the ability to manufacture product at 
planned costs, weather in primary winter resort areas of the world, and the 
risk factors listed from time to time in the Company's SEC reports, including 
but not limited to the report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 
1995. Additionally, investors should be aware of global factors which could 
have a negative impact on prospects and the consistency of progress.  These 
include political, economic or other factors such as currency exchange rates, 
inflation rates, recessionary or expansive trends, taxes and regulations and 
laws affecting the worldwide business in each of the Company's markets. 
Management is presently unaware of any trends or conditions that could have a 
material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, 
future results of operations or liquidity.

30, 1996 compared to $3,486,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, 
representing 0.9% and 23.3% of net sales, respectively.  As a percentage of

months ended September 30, 1996 compared to 4.1% for the nine months ended

increased 98.5% to $8,456,000 from $4,260,000 for the same period in 1995 
primarily as a result of the overall increase in sales.  The gross margin for 
the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was 37.8%, compared to 28.5% for the 
nine months ended September 30, 1995, an increase of 9.3% on a year-to-year 
basis.  This is a result of a shift in demand toward higher margin products, 
improved manufacturing efficiencies, lower material costs attained through 
better sourcing and increased sales of "Morrow" branded snowboards, which 
have higher margins relative to OEM snowboards.

     SELLING, MARKETING AND CUSTOMER SERVICE.  Selling, marketing and 
customer service expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 
increased 51.6% to $3,361,000 from $2,217,000 for the same period in 1995, 
representing 15.0% and 14.8% of net sales, respectively.  The Company's sales 
growth required increases in staff and employee-related expenses, sales 
commissions and promotion and marketing activities.  As a percentage of net 
sales, these and all other expense categories remained consistent on a 
period-to-period basis.

     ENGINEERING, RESEARCH AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT.  Engineering, research

decreased 7.1% to $546,000 from $588,000 for the nine months ended September 
30, 1995, representing 2.4% and 3.9% of net sales, respectively.  This 
decrease was primarily due to the creation of a product management 
department, which assumed certain engineering and product development 
functions and related expenses.  Product management expenses are included in 
selling, marketing and customer service.  The result was a decrease in staff 
and employee-related expenses in engineering, research and product 
development.  As a percentage of net sales, staff and employee-related 
expenses decreased 1.6%.  All other expense categories remained consistent on 
a period-to-period basis.

nine months ended September 30, 1996 increased 70.9% to $2,068,000 from 
$1,210,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, representing 9.3% 
and 8.1% of net sales, respectively.  This increase was primarily due to 
additional staff and employee-related expenses, increased professional fees 
and expenses attributable to being a public company and increases in bad debt 
reserve and recruitment expenses. As a percentage of net sales, all other 
expense categories remained consistent on a period-to-period basis.

nine months ended September 30, 1996 from $639,000 for the nine months ended 
September 30, 1995.  This was the direct result of the Company paying off its 
bank operating line and purchasing its manufacturing facility with a portion 
of the proceeds provided by the Company's initial public offering in December 
1995.  The manufacturing facility, which was purchased in March of 1996, was 
formerly recorded as a long-term capital lease.

     INTEREST INCOME.  Interest income of $394,000 for the nine months ended 
September 30, 1996 results from investments made with a portion of the 
proceeds provided by the Company's initial public offering in December 1995, 
compared to $4,000 of interest income in the first nine months of 1995.

     INCOME TAX BENEFIT (EXPENSE).  The income tax expense for the nine 
months ended September 30, 1996 was $1,122,000 compared to a benefit of 
$170,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995. The income tax benefit 
(expense) for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 was based on 
the Company's estimated effective tax rate.

1996 was $1,698,000 compared to a net loss of $218,000 for the nine months 
ended September 30, 1995.

as a result of the overall increase in sales. Total gross margin for the 
third quarter of 1996 increased to 39.2% from 30.4% for the third quarter of

quarter of 1995, representing 4.5% and 4.6% of net sales, respectively.  This 
increase in expenses was primarily due to additional staff and 
employee-related expenses, increased professional fees and expenses 
attributable to being a public company and increases in bad debt reserve and 
recruitment expenses.  As a percentage of net sales, all other expense 
categories remained consistent on a period-to-period basis.

     INTEREST EXPENSE.  Interest expense decreased 89.4% to $29,000 for the 
third quarter of 1996 from $273,000 for the third quarter of 1995.  This was

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company requires capital for the development of its technology and 
products, procurement of raw materials and other supplies, and capital 
equipment for its manufacturing facility. In December 1995, the Company 
completed its initial public offering, receiving net proceeds of $18.5 
million after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses.  Prior 
to the offering, the Company had financed its growth and operations through 
numerous private placements of equity and debt securities, refinancings of 
its bank indebtedness and the incurrence of a significant number of capital 
leases. The Company's cash flow has been constrained primarily due to its 
growth, seasonality and operating performance. With the proceeds from the 
offering, the Company is more adequately capitalized to increase its focus on 
developing the "Morrow" brand.

     The Company had $8,227,000 in cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 
1996. Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended 
September 30, 1996 was $2,055,000, primarily from seasonal increases in 
receivables and inventory. Net cash used in investing activities for the nine 
months ended September 30, 1996 was $2,730,000, which was used primarily for 
the purchase and construction of equipment.  Net cash used in financing 
activities for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was $2,014,000, which 
was primarily used to pay off the manufacturing facility debt and reduce 
other long term capital lease obligations. At September 30, 1996, the Company 
had working capital of $19,627,000.

     The Company has a revolving credit facility with Bank of America Oregon 
(the "Bank"). Under its revolving facility, the amount of the line of credit 
is $5,000,000 for the periods between August 1 and March 31 of each calendar 
year, and will increase to $7,500,000 for the periods of April 1 through July 
31 of each calendar year.  This line of credit is available through October 
31, 1997.  At September 30, 1996, there was no amount of outstanding 
principal under the facility. A commitment fee of 0.125% of the available 
balance under the credit facility before the first advance, and 0.25% after 
the first advance, is payable quarterly. Interest under the credit facility 
is payable on a monthly basis. The facility bears interest at the Bank's 
Reference Rate (8.25% at September 30, 1996). The Company has the option 
under the credit facility to enter into fixed interest rates for specified 
periods for all or a portion of the line of credit.  The revolving facility 
is secured by substantially all of the Company's assets excluding its real 
estate. The credit agreement with the Bank contains various covenants which 
require the Company, among other things, to meet certain objectives with 
respect to tangible net equity, the ratio of liabilities to tangible net 
equity, and the ratio of current assets to current liabilities.  At September 
30, 1996, the Company was in compliance with all of its covenants.

The Company's debt structure is comprised of the following:

                                                            September 30, 1996

The Company believes that its cash flow from operations, available line of 
credit under its Credit Facility and net proceeds from its initial public 
offering will be adequate to meet its anticipated cash requirements through 
1997. The Company may need to raise additional capital if it makes any 
acquisitions or if working capital requirements are greater than anticipated. 
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional 
capital on terms acceptable to the Company or that it will be able to do so 
on a timely basis.

                           PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


     The Company is not currently involved in any material litigation or 
legal proceedings and is not aware of any potentially material litigation or 
proceeding threatened against it other than as described below.

     In April 1996, a former employee of the Company filed a civil suit 
against the Company with the United States District Court alleging sexual 
harassment and wage discrimination, and seeking damages of $575,000 plus lost 
wages in an unstated amount and an equal amount of lost wages as liquidated 
damages.  Based on a review of the claims and discussions with counsel, the 
Company believes that it would have defenses to any such claims.  
Furthermore, the Company believes the claims are limited by statute to a 
cumulative total of $200,000 in punitive and compensatory damages, plus 
attorneys' fees and lost wage damages.  If an appropriate basis for 
additional claims were found to exist in any such civil action, the 
complainant could raise additional claims and seek additional damages.  The 
Company filed a response to the complaint and written discovery on May 1, 
1996.  The suit has progressed to the initial stages of discovery and a trial 
date has not been set.

     In June 1995, the Company received notice from a German company alleging 
that the Company's M-1 bindings sold prior to 1995 infringe on a patent held 
by that company, which notice requests certain royalties based on M-1 binding 
sales. Based on a review of the infringement claims and discussions with 
counsel, the Company believes that it has defenses to such claims.

     In early January 1996, the Company terminated its distribution 
arrangement with its German distributor and appointed another company as its 
German distributor. In late January 1996, the Company received notice from 
the terminated German distributor alleging that the Company had an exclusive 
distribution agreement and that such distributor is entitled to certain 
royalty payments and other rights. Based on a review of such claims with 
German counsel, the Company believes that is has defenses to such claims. 

     The Company intends to vigorously defend against any administrative 
proceeding or lawsuit brought seeking injunctive relief or damages from the 
Company. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be 
successful in the defense of any such claims. An award of damages or the 
expenditure of significant sums in such cases referenced above could have a 
material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of 
operations.
