              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
                                   (UNAUDITED)


1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared by Ride, Inc. (the "Company"), in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial statements and with the instructions
to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include
all of the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company's
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary
for a fair presentation have been included. The Company's revenues are highly
seasonal, occurring primarily between June and December as its products are
shipped to customers. The results of operations for the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 1996, therefore may not be indicative of the results
for the full fiscal year. For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual
report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995. All amounts are stated
in US dollars.

2.   NET INCOME PER SHARE

Primary net income per share for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995 has been computed by dividing net income, after
reduction for Preferred Stock dividends, by the weighted average number of
common shares and equivalents outstanding. Common share equivalents included in
the computation represent shares issuable upon assumed exercise of stock options
and warrants having exercise prices below the average market price of the Common
Stock using the treasury stock method. Fully diluted net income per share has
been computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common
shares and equivalents outstanding assuming the conversion of the Preferred
Stock occurred at the beginning of the period. The number of common share
equivalents included in the fully diluted computations represent shares issuable
upon exercise of stock options and warrants having exercise prices below higher
of the ending market price or the average market price of the Common Stock using
the treasury stock method.

3.   INVENTORIES

Inventories at September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 consisted of the

</TABLE>

The net loss on these forward contracts as of September 30, 1996 of
approximately $28,000 has been deferred and will be recognized when the related
commitments are settled.

5.   LONG-TERM DEBT

The Company's landlord has agreed to loan the Company $750,000 to fund a portion
of the expansion and improvement of the Company's Preston, Washington office,
warehouse and manufacturing facilities. The loan has an effective interest rate
of approximately 4.3% and is due in monthly payments of principal and interest
of $9,100 through December 2003. At September 30, 1996, $675,000 of the total 
loan amount had been drawn.

6.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 11, 1996, the Company sold the excess inventory and brokered-OEM
portions of its C.A.S. Sports International, Inc. ("C.A.S. Sports") and C.A.S.
Sports Agency, Inc. ("C.A.S. Agency") subsidiaries to a corporation formed for
that purpose by an investor group that included two former Company executives
and a number of former C.A.S. Sports employees. The aggregate purchase price was
comprised of $700,000 in cash, a short-term, non-interest bearing promissory
note in the amount of $300,000 and two long-term promissory notes aggregating
$2.0 million. The long-term notes are secured by the stock of the sold
corporations and bear interest at prime. No principal or interest payments are
due on the long-term notes for one year from the date of the transaction.
Thereafter, repayment is due in quarterly principal installments of $100,000
plus interest though September 2002. The proceeds of the sale will be used by
the Company to repay current bank borrowings. The Company recognized a pre-tax
gain of approximately $500,000 on the sale.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.

To the extent that this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q discusses financial
projections, information or expectations about the Company's products or
markets, or otherwise makes statements about the future, such statements are
forward looking and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that
could cause actual results to differ materially from the statements made. These
factors include the timely availability and acceptance of new products, the
Company's dependence on outside manufacturers, the management of growth and
other risks detailed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission for the fiscal year ended December 31,
1995. Forward looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
are more specifically identified with the symbol (*).

GENERAL

The Company is a leading designer, manufacturer and marketer of snowboards and
related products through its subsidiaries, Ride Snowboard Company ("Ride
Snowboards"), C.A.S. Sports International, Inc. and C.A.S. Sports Agency, Inc.
(collectively, "CAS"), Thermal Snowboards, Inc. ("Ride Manufacturing") and SMP
Clothing, Inc. ("SMP"). The Company acquired CAS in August 1994, Thermal in
September 1995 and SMP in October 1995. The Company also acquired 5150
Snowboards, Inc. ("5150") in September 1995 and later merged 5150 with and into
Ride Snowboards. The results of operations of these acquired subsidiaries are
included in the Company's financial statements from their respective dates of
acquisition.

The Company's operations vary significantly during the year based on the winter
sports season. The season for winter sports, which includes snowboarding,
typically runs from November through March in northern hemisphere markets.
Accordingly, the Company generates the majority of its sales in the third and
fourth quarters, as snowboard retailers time their purchases to meet expected
retail demand.* Because relatively lower net sales are generated in the first
and second quarters of the year, the Company expects to incur operating losses
in the first quarter, and possibly in the second quarter, for the foreseeable
future.*

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED WITH QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995

Net sales increased 11% to $35.3 million in the third quarter of 1996 from $31.9
million in the third quarter of 1995. Approximately $7.5 million of the 1996
amount was generated by SMP, Ride Manufacturing and the "5150" brand up from
$2.6 million in the third quarter of 1995. Sales in the CAS and Ride Snowboards
divisions (exclusive of sales of the "5150" brand) were down $1.5 million over
the same period in 1995 due primarily to a decline in OEM shipments from the CAS
division.

Gross margins increased to 32% for the third quarter of 1996 from 29% for the
third quarter of 1995. The increase in gross margins in the 1996 period is
attributable primarily to the in-house production of the majority of the
Company's high-end "Ride" and "5150" brand snowboards at Ride Manufacturing.
Margins were also positively affected by the higher gross margins contributed by
SMP and by a smaller percentage of total sales being contributed by the CAS
division, which has relatively lower gross margins.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $5.4 million for the
third quarter of 1996 from $3.5 million for the third quarter of 1995. This
increase was due to the increased scope of the Company's operations in 1996,
including increased research and development expenditures, increased occupancy
expenses associated with the expansion of the Ride Snowboards division
warehouse, office and manufacturing facilities as well as the additional
operating expenses associated with SMP, Ride Manufacturing and the "5150" brand,
which were acquired in the second half of 1995.


                                       7
<PAGE>   9
Interest income decreased to $14,000 in the third quarter of 1996 compared with
$114,000 for the third quarter of 1995. The decrease was due to overall lower
cash balances on hand during the third quarter 1996 resulting primarily from
seasonably higher cash needs to fund the Company's in-house manufacturing
operations. In addition, the Company had significant cash on hand in the third
quarter of 1995 from the completion of its August 1995 public stock offering.
Interest expense totaled $125,000 in the third quarter of 1996 as the Company
began borrowing under its lines of credit to fund its seasonal working capital
needs and incurred interest expense related to the financing of the Company's
leasehold improvement's at its Preston, Washington facility.

The third quarter 1996 income tax provision of $2.2 million is based upon the
expected overall effective rate for the year.*

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED WITH NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
30, 1995

Net sales increased 25% to $61.6 million for the first nine months of 1996 from
$49.2 million in the first nine months of 1995. Approximately $13.6 million of
the 1996 amount was generated by SMP, Ride Manufacturing and the "5150" brand up
from $2.6 million in the first nine months of 1995. Sales in the CAS and Ride
Snowboards divisions (exclusive of sales of the "5150" brand) increased 3% or
$1.4 million over the same period in 1995 reflecting the continued growth across
all of Ride Snowboards' brands offset by a decline in OEM shipments from CAS.

Gross margins increased to 31% for the first nine months of 1996 from 27% for
the first nine months of 1995. The increase in gross margins in the 1996 period
is attributable primarily to the in-house production of the majority of the
Company's high-end "Ride" and "5150" brand snowboards at Ride Manufacturing.
Gross margins were also positively affected by the higher gross margins
contributed by SMP and by a smaller percentage of total sales being contributed
by the CAS division, which has relatively lower gross margins.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $14.1 million for the
first nine months of 1996 from $7.0 million for the same period of 1995. This
increase was due to the increased scope of the Company's operations in 1996,
including increased marketing expenses in the first quarter associated with the
major industry trade shows and new product introductions, increased research and
development expenditures, increased occupancy expenses associated with the
expansion of the Ride Snowboards division warehouse, office and manufacturing
facilities as well as the additional operating expenses associated with SMP,
Ride Manufacturing and the "5150" brand, which were acquired in the second half
of 1995.

Interest income increased to $292,000 for the first nine months of 1996 compared
with $276,000 for the first nine months of 1995. The increase was due to overall
higher cash balances on hand in the first half of 1996 stemming from the
increased scope of the business as well as capital supplied by the Company's
August 1995 public stock offering. Interest expense totaled $152,000 for the
first nine months of 1996 as the Company began borrowing under its lines of
credit to fund its seasonal working capital needs and incurred interest expense
related to the financing of the Company's leasehold improvement's at its
Preston, Washington facility.

The income tax provision of $1.9 million for the first nine months of 1996 is
based upon the expected overall effective rate for the year.*

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the first nine months of 1996, the Company used net cash of $22.0 million
in operating activities compared to $9.7 million for the same period in 1995.
The primary uses of cash in operating activities are seasonal buildups in
accounts receivable from third quarter shipments and inventories. A significant
amount of the Company's sales have extended terms which come due in the fourth
quarter which contributed to the receivable buildup. Inventories totaled $16.3
million at September 30, 1996 compared to $4.3 million as of September 30, 1995.
The increase is attributable to several factors including: (a) higher raw
materials and work in process inventories from the increased scope of the
Company's manufacturing operations; (b) additional inventories from the
Company's SMP subsidiary which was purchased in the fourth quarter of 1995; (c)
earlier product deliveries from suppliers in


                                       8
<PAGE>   10
1996, and; (d) late reductions in orders from the Company's primary Japanese
distributor for which inventory commitments had already been made with
suppliers. The Company expects to sell a significant portion of the inventory on
hand through shipping its remaining backlog of orders in the fourth quarter,
through normal reorder activity and through close-out sales if necessary.*

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $1.3 million during the first nine
months of 1996 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $12.6
million in the first nine months of 1995. The 1996 period includes capital
expenditures of approximately $4.7 million offset by approximately $3.8 million
in proceeds from the sale of short term investments. The 1996 capital
expenditures include molds and tooling for snowboards and snowboard bindings,
leasehold improvements related to the expansion of the Company's Preston,
Washington office, warehouse and manufacturing operations, and additional
manufacturing equipment. The 1995 period included $11.9 million for the
purchases of Thermal Snowboards and 5150.

Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $9.7 million in the first nine
months of 1996 compared with $27.9 million in the comparable period of 1995.
Financing activities in the 1996 period include net borrowings of approximately
$9.2 million on the Company's credit facilities, the retirement of $0.9 million
in notes payable to the sellers of SMP, and $0.8 million in proceeds from the
exercise of stock options and sale of common stock through the Company's
employee stock purchase plan. In addition, the Company's landlord has agreed to
loan the Company $750,000 to fund a portion of the expansion and improvement of
the Company's Preston, Washington office, warehouse and manufacturing
facilities. The loan has an annual effective interest rate of approximately 4.3%
and is due in monthly payments of principal and interest through December 2003.
At September 30, 1996, $675,000 of the total loan amount had been drawn. The
1995 period included $23.3 million in proceeds from the sale of common stock and
$4.5 million in proceeds from the exercise of common stock warrants.

The Company has credit facilities with two banks, one in the U.S. and one in
Canada. The U.S. facility provides $30 million in borrowings either for direct
advances or for letters of credit for all of the Company's U.S. subsidiaries.
Borrowings under this facility bear interest at the bank's prime U.S. lending
rate or at a LIBOR option plus 1.5%. The facility expires March 31, 1997 and
contains various financial covenants including working capital, tangible net
worth and quick ratio requirements. The facility is collateralized by
substantially all of the U.S.-based assets of the Company. At September 30,
1996, the Company had outstanding letters of credit aggregating $1.7 million
under this facility and direct advances totaling $6.1 million.

The Canadian bank provides three facilities for the Company's Canadian
operations. The first facility provides a $5.3 million line of credit for direct
borrowings and usance letters of credit. The second facility provides for a
$10.5 million line for no control and sight letters of credit. The third
facility provides for a $1.1 million foreign exchange forward contract line.
Borrowings under these facilities bear interest at the bank's prime U.S. lending
rate plus 0.5%. The credit facilities contain certain operating covenants
including tangible net worth and ownership requirements for CAS and are
collateralized by substantially all of CAS's assets. At September 30, 1996, the
Company had outstanding import letters of credit aggregating $2.0 million and
direct advances totaling $3.1 million. In connection with the October 1996 sale
of the CAS excess inventory and OEM businesses, the Company is in the process of
renegotiating its Canadian bank credit facilities.

The Company believes that cash on hand, collection of receivables and borrowings
under its existing credit facilities will be sufficient to meet its operating
needs for the next 12 months.*

Certain of the Company's purchase commitments and sales are denominated in
foreign currencies. Because a change in the value of such currencies relative to
the U.S. dollar will affect the Company's gross profit and net income, the
Company enters into forward currency contracts to hedge against adverse currency
fluctuations. Although the Company believes that these contracts decrease the
overall exposure to gains and losses from currency fluctuations, such exposure
cannot be entirely eliminated.

Although the Company cannot accurately anticipate the effects of inflation, the
Company does not believe inflation has had or is likely to have a material
effect on its results of operations or liquidity.*

PART II  -  OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

      On April 2, 1996, the Company's Preston Binding Company subsidiary
      ("Preston"), together with Mark A. Raines and Gregory A. Deeney, commenced
      an action in the United States District Court for the Southern District of
      New York (docket no. 96-CIV-2361-JFK) against Switch Manufacturing Co.
      ("Switch") for patent infringement. Preston, Raines and Deeney allege that
      Switch's Autolock(TM) step-in snowboard binding infringes U.S. Patent No.
      4,973,073 (the "Raines Patent") for a step-in binding held by Raines and
      Deeney. Preston is a plaintiff in the case because Preston has signed a
      letter agreement with Raines and Deeney to acquire the Raines Patent. In
      response, Switch commenced an action on April 15, 1996 against Preston and
      the Company in the United States District Court for the Northern District
      of California (docket No. 96-CIV-1376-WHO) seeking a declaratory judgment
      that the Autolock(TM) binding does not infringe the Raines Patent. On July
      24, 1996, the judge in the action in the Southern District of New York
      granted Switch's motion to transfer the case to the Northern District of
      California. The two cases have been consolidated and preliminary discovery
      is underway.
