              Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                                  (Unaudited)
(1)      General

         The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
         prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial
         statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments
         (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair
         presentation for each of the periods presented.  The results of
         operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
         results to be achieved for full fiscal years.

         As contemplated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under
         Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X, the accompanying consolidated financial
         statements and related footnotes have been condensed and do not
         contain certain information that will be included in the Company's
         annual consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto.  For
         further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements
         and related footnotes for the year ended December 31, 1995 included in
         the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

(2)      Earnings per Share

         Net earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of
         common and common equivalent shares outstanding.  Common stock
         equivalents represent the number of shares which would be issued
         assuming the exercise of common stock options and reduced by the
         number of shares which could be purchased with the proceeds from the
         exercise of those options.

         Fully diluted net earnings per share are not presented since the
         amounts do not differ significantly from the primary net earnings per
         share presented.

(3)      Inventory

         Inventory at September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 is summarized as

(4)      Income Taxes

         Income taxes for the interim periods were computed using the effective
         tax rate estimated to be applicable for the full fiscal year, which is
         subject to ongoing review and evaluation by management.

(5)      Stock-Based Compensation

         Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
         Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
         Compensation" (FAS 123), which was issued in October 1995.  This
         statement encourages, but does not require, a fair value based method
         of accounting for employee stock options or similar equity
         instruments.  FAS 123 allows an entity to elect to continue to measure
         compensation cost under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
         "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APBO No. 25), but requires
         pro forma disclosures of net earnings and earnings per share as if the
         fair value based method of accounting had been applied.  The Company
         has elected to continue to measure compensation cost under APBO No.
         25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and will comply with
         the pro forma disclosure requirements in its December 31, 1996 Annual
         Report on Form 10-K.  The adoption of FAS 123 had no impact on the
         Company's financial position or results of operations.

(6)      Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

         Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
         Accounting Standards No. 121 (FAS 121), "Accounting for the Impairment
         of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of,"
         which was issued in March 1995.  This statement establishes accounting
         standards for the recognition and measurement of impairment of
         long-lived assets, certain identifiable intangibles and goodwill
         either to be held or disposed of.  The adoption of FAS 121 did not
         have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results
         of operations.

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

         Three Months Ended September 30, 1996 Compared to Three Months Ended
         September 30, 1995

         Net sales increased by $1,227,000 or 5.5% between the three months
         ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 due to several offsetting factors.
         Following the first quarter of 1995, the Company's Teva(R) line was
         adversely impacted by the poor overall retail markets and an abundance
         of sport sandals in the marketplace.  As a result, the Company offered
         heavy discounting in the third quarter of 1995 in efforts to move the
         resulting oversupply of 1995 Teva(R) product.  The Company was able to
         sell a significant portion of this excess inventory at these reduced
         prices in the third quarter of 1995, causing the usually lower volume
         third quarter to be higher than it would have otherwise been.  Because
         this volume of closeout sales did not recur in the third quarter of
         1996, sales of the Teva(R) line decreased from $5,953,000 for the
         three months ended September 30, 1995 to $3,573,000 for the three
         months ended September 30, 1996, a 40.0% decrease.  Sales of Teva(R)
         products represented 26.7% and 15.2% of net sales in the three months
         ended September 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively.  The Company also
         experienced a decline in third quarter sales of its Ugg(R) product
         line in 1996 as the Company repositioned this brand toward higher-end
         retailers, avoiding some of the lower-end retailers to which the
         Company previously sold.  Consistent with the Teva(R) and Simple(R)
         lines, the Company is targeting Ugg(R) primarily to the higher-end
         retailers in efforts to promote the brand in markets which can support
         higher prices and margins.  In addition, last year's unseasonably late
         winter resulted in a carryover of Ugg(R) product at retailers to 1996.
         These factors, combined with the increased competition for the brand
         caused net sales to decrease from $6,368,000 for the quarter ended
         September 30, 1995 to $3,827,000 for the quarter ended September 30,
         1996, a 40.0% decrease.  Offsetting these sales declines, net sales of
         footwear under the Simple(R) product line increased 56.8%, from
         $9,109,000 to $14,279,000 between the three months ended September 30,
         1995 and 1996.  In addition, international sales for the Company's
         products as a whole increased 45.7% from $4,432,000 to $6,459,000,
         representing 19.9% of net sales in 1995 and 27.5% in 1996.  The
         combination of these offsetting factors led to a net decrease in the
         volume of footwear sold, which decreased from 818,000 pairs during the
         three months ended September 30, 1995, to 776,000 pairs during the
         three months ended September 30, 1996, a 5.1% decrease.

         The weighted average wholesale price per pair sold during these
         respective periods increased from $26.45 to $28.94, or by 9.4%.  The
         increase in the average wholesale price reflects the non-recurrence of
         the heavy discounting of Teva(R) product which was experienced in the
         third quarter of 1995.  The effects of this were partially offset by
         the reduction in Ugg(R) sales, which have a higher weighted average
         selling price than the Company's other lines.

         Cost of sales decreased by $2,219,000 to $14,291,000 for the three
         months ended September 30, 1996, compared with $16,510,000 for the
         three months ended September 30, 1995, a decrease of 13.4%.  Gross
         profit increased by $3,446,000 or 60.0% to $9,194,000 for the three
         months ended September 30, 1996, from $5,748,000 for the three months
         ended September 30, 1995, and increased as a percentage of net sales
         to 39.1% from 25.8%.  The reduction in cost of sales and the increase
         in gross profit margin as a percentage of net sales were primarily due
         to the non-recurrence in 1996 of the $950,000 write-down of Teva(R)
         inventory which was experienced in the third quarter of 1995 as well
         as the non-recurrence of the discounted pricing offered for the Teva(R)
         product line in the third quarter of 1995.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $834,000 or
         11.7% between the three months ended September 30, 1995 and September
         30, 1996, and increased as a percentage of net sales from 32.0% in
         1995 to 33.9% in 1996.  The increase was primarily due to increased
         warehouse costs, partially related to the move to a new  warehouse
         facility in Ventura, California.  Also, selling commissions increased
         in comparison to the third quarter of 1995, as the Company paid
         reduced commissions on the close-out sales in 1995.

         Income taxes were $457,000 for the three months ended September 30,
         1996, representing an effective income tax rate of 44.6% compared with
         income tax benefit of $851,000 for the three months ended September
         30, 1995, representing an effective income tax rate of 41.5% The
         increase in the effective income tax rate from 1995 to 1996 is largely
         a result of the goodwill associated with the acquisition of Ugg
         Holdings, Inc., which is not deductible for income tax reporting
         purposes. In addition, the Company experienced non-deductible losses
         at certain subsidiaries which are consolidated for financial reporting
         purposes but which are not consolidated for income tax reporting
         purposes.

         The Company had net earnings of $567,000 for the three months ended
         September 30, 1996, as compared with a net loss of $1,200,000 for the
         three months ended September 30, 1995, for the reasons discussed
         above.

         Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 Compared to Nine Months Ended 
         September 30, 1995

         Net sales decreased by $315,000 or 0.4% between the nine months ended
         September 30, 1996 and 1995.  Several offsetting factors have led to
         the comparable net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
         and 1995.  In early 1995, the Company experienced strong sales of the
         Tev(R) line.  However, beginning in the second quarter of 1995, the
         Company was impacted by the poor overall retail markets and the
         abundance of sport sandals in the marketplace.  As a result, the
         Company began heavy discounting in efforts to move the resulting
         oversupply of 1995 Teva(R) product and was able to sell a significant
         portion of this excess inventory in the third quarter of 1995 and the
         first half of 1996.  This excess 1995 inventory was carried by
         retailers into 1996, thus negatively impacting the Company's 1996
         Teva(R) sales.  As a result, net sales of the Teva(R) line decreased
         from $51,681,000 to $39,587,000, a 23.4% decrease between the nine
         months ended September 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively.  Sales of
         Tev(R) products represented 64.5% and 49.6% of net sales in the nine
         months ended September 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively. The Company
         also experienced a decline in sales of its Ug(R) product line as the
         Company repositioned this brand toward higher-end retailers, avoiding
         some of the lower-end retailers to which the Company had previously
         sold.  Consistent with the Teva(R) and Simple(R) lines, the Company is
         targeting Ugg(R) primarily to the higher-end retailers in efforts to
         promote the brand in markets which can support higher prices and
         margins.  In addition, last year's unseasonably late winter resulted
         in a carryover of Ugg(R) product at retailers to 1996.  These factors,
         combined with the increased competition for the brand caused net sales
         for Ugg(R) to decrease from $6,368,000 for the nine months ended
         September 30, 1995, to $4,158,000 for the nine months ended September
         30, 1996, a 34.7% decrease.  Offsetting these factors, net sales of
         footwear under the Simple(R) product line increased 63.9% from
         $19,159,000 to $31,403,000 between the nine months ended September 30,
         1995 and 1996.  Simple sales represented 23.0%  and 39.4% of net sales
         in the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively.
         Overall, international sales for all of the Company's products
         increased 42.9% from $14,220,000 to $20,315,000, representing 17.7% of
         net sales in 1995 and 25.5% in 1996.  The combination of these factors
         lead to a net increase in the volume of footwear sold, which increased
         from 2,870,000 pairs during the nine months ended September 30, 1995,
         to 2,993,000 pairs during the nine months ended September 30, 1996, a
         4.3% increase.

                                AND SUBSIDIARIES

         The weighted average wholesale price per pair sold during these
         respective periods decreased from $28.16 to $26.57, or by 5.6%.  The
         decrease in the average wholesale price reflects the sale of the
         remaining 1995 Teva(R) sport sandals at discounted prices in 1996,
         which selling prices approximated the carrying value of the inventory.
         Also, the Company reduced the prices of certain Teva(R) styles since
         the nine months ended September 30, 1995, in order to promote a more
         even distribution of price points between the high and low points.
         The Company believes that having such an even price point distribution
         will place one or more styles at each desired price level.  In
         addition, the Company experienced a reduction in Ugg(R) sales, which
         have a higher weighted average selling price than the Company's other
         lines.

         Cost of sales decreased by $921,000 to $46,928,000 for the nine months
         ended September 30, 1996, compared with $47,849,000 for the nine
         months ended September 30, 1995, a decrease of 1.9%.  Gross profit
         increased by $606,000 or 1.9% to $32,879,000 for the nine months ended
         September 30, 1996, from $32,273,000 for the nine months ended
         September 30, 1995, and increased as a percentage of net sales to
         41.2% from 40.3%  The increase in gross profit margin as a percentage
         of net sales was primarily due to the non-recurrence of the
         significant inventory write-downs experienced in the second and third
         quarters of 1995 as well as the discounted selling prices discussed
         above.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $2,761,000
         or 11.7% between the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and
         September 30, 1996, and increased as a percentage of net sales from
         29.4% in 1995 to 33.0% in 1996.  The increase was primarily due the
         addition of the operations of Ugg Holdings, Inc., increased
         advertising expenditures, increased payroll costs resulting from newly
         created positions, and increased warehouse costs, which were partially
         a result of the Company's move to a new warehouse facility in the
         third quarter of 1996.

         Income taxes were $2,471,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
         1996, representing an effective income tax rate of 44.6% compared with
         income taxes of $3,297,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
         1995, representing an effective income tax rate of 41.5%.  The
         increase in the effective income tax rate from 1995 to 1996 is largely
         a result of the goodwill associated with the acquisition of Ugg
         Holdings, Inc. which is not deductible for income tax reporting
         purposes. In addition, the Company experienced non-deductible losses
         at certain subsidiaries which are consolidated for financial reporting
         purposes but which are not consolidated for income tax reporting
         purposes.

         The Company had net earnings of $3,070,000 for the nine months ended
         September 30, 1996, as compared with net earnings of $4,648,000 for
         the nine months ended September 30, 1995, a decrease of 34.0% for the
         reasons discussed above.

         Liquidity and Capital Resources

         At September 30, 1996, working capital was $35,227,000 including
         $2,269,000 of cash and cash equivalents.  Cash provided by operating
         activities aggregated $11,111,000 for the nine months ended September
         30, 1996, as compared to $6,251,000 for the nine months ended
         September 30, 1995.

         The Company has a revolving credit facility with a bank (the
         "Facility"), providing a maximum borrowing availability of $25,000,000
         based on certain eligible assets, as defined. The Facility can be used
         for working capital and general corporate purposes and expires August
         1, 2000.  Borrowings bear interest at the bank's prime rate (8.25% at
         September 30, 1996) plus up to 0.25%, depending on whether





                                       10

                                AND SUBSIDIARIES

         the Company satisfies certain financial ratios.  Alternatively, the
         Company may elect to have borrowings bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.5%
         to 1.75%, depending on whether the Company satisfies such financial
         ratios.  Up to $10,000,000 of borrowings may be in the form of letters
         of credit.  The Facility is secured by substantially all assets of the
         Company. As of September 30, 1996, the Company had $4,000,000 in
         borrowings outstanding under the Facility as compared to $13,050,000
         as of Septebmer 30, 1995.

         The agreement underlying the Facility includes certain restrictive
         covenants which, among other things, require the Company to maintain
         certain financial tests.  The Company was in compliance with all
         requirements as of September 30, 1996.

         The Company has an agreement with a supplier to provide financing to
         that supplier for the initial start-up and the expansion of the
         supplier's operations, as well as for working capital needs.  At
         September 30, 1996, $2,540,000 was outstanding as compared to
         $3,564,000 as of September 30, 1995.  The note is secured by all
         assets of the supplier and bears interest at the prime rate (8.25% at
         September 30, 1996) plus 1%.

         Capital expenditures totaled $1,106,000 for the nine months ended
         September 30, 1996.  The Company's capital expenditures related
         primarily to the purchase of production molds, machinery and
         equipment, the continued expansion of the Company's facilities and
         upgrades to the Company's computer systems.  The Company currently has
         no material future commitments for capital expenditures.

         In connection with the acquisition of Ugg Holdings, Inc. in 1995, the
         Company is required to make payments to the former shareholders equal
         to 2 1/2% of net sales of Ugg Holdings, Inc. for the years ending
         March 31, 1996 through March 31, 2000, an amount equal to earnings
         before income taxes of Ugg Holdings, Inc., as adjusted for certain
         items, for the year ended March 31, 1996 and an additional $500,000
         payment in March 2000.  In May 1996, the Company made a $495,000
         payment to the former shareholders related to its required payments
         for the year ended March 31, 1996.  The Company allocated the entire
         payment amount to goodwill, which is being amortized over the
         remaining 29 year life of the goodwill.

         The Company believes that internally generated funds, the available
         borrowings under its existing credit facilities and the cash on hand
         will provide sufficient liquidity to enable it to meet its current and
         foreseeable working capital requirements.

         Seasonality

         Financial results for the outdoor and footwear industries are
         generally seasonal.  Based on the Company's historical product mix,
         the Company would expect greater sales in the first and second
         quarters than in the third and fourth quarters.  However, the Company
         anticipates that the recent acquisition of Ugg Holdings, Inc., the
         expansion of the Simple product sales and the acquisition of a 50%
         interest in Trukke Winter Sports Products, Inc., which are
         counterseasonal to the Company's sport sandal line, will help reduce
         the impact of seasonality.

         Other

         The Company believes that the relatively moderate rates of inflation
         in recent years have not had a significant impact on its net sales or
         profitability.

                                AND SUBSIDIARIES

                 Amended Compensation Plan for Outside Members
                           of the Board of Directors



On September 14, 1996, the Board of Directors approved an amended compensation
plan for the outside members of the Board of Directors of Deckers Outdoor
Corporation.  Below is a summary of the amendment to the plan:

Prior to the amendment, the compensation structure for the outside members of
the Board of Directors provides for an annual retainer fee of $22,000, $5,500
of which is paid in the form of shares of Common Stock with a market value
equal to such amount (the "Annual Retainer"), together with a fee of $1,500 for
each meeting attended, $1,000 for each Board meeting attended, and $1,000 for
each Special Committee meeting attended (collectively, the "Meeting Fees").  In
addition, each committee chairman receives a retainer of $4,000 per year (the
"Chairman Fees").  In addition, each non-employee director receives an option
for 10,000 shares of the Corporation's stock (the "Director's Option"), which
vests in one-third (1/3rd) installments, with the first installment vesting on
the first anniversary date of the grant, with an exercise price equal to the
fair market value at the date of grant.  Commencing on the fourth year of a
non-employee director's continuous tenure as a Board member, such director will
receive an option to purchase 2,000 shares of the Corporation's stock, which
will vest immediately upon the date of grant and will have an exercise price
equal to the fair market value on the date of grant of the shares underlying
such option.

The Board of Directors approved a modification as follows.  Effective January
1, 1996, the Annual Retainer shall be paid as follows: (i) $11,000 in cash, or,
at the option of a director, exercised 10 days prior to the start of each year
in Common Stock of the Corporation at a 20% discount off the price of the
shares at the closing price; and (ii) 500 shares of the Common Stock of the
Corporation per quarter (2,000 shares annually), vesting on the first (1st) day
of each quarter, for the next three (3) years.  On January 1, 1999, and every
three (3) years thereafter, the Board will set the number of shares for the
following three (3) years.  The Meeting Fees, the Chairman Fees and the
Director's Option would remain the same.
