   Board of Directors
   Rainfair, Inc.
   Racine, Wisconsin

                          Independent Auditor's Report

   We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Rainfair, Inc. as of
   April 30, 1996, and the related statements of operations, stockholders'
   equity and cash flows for the year then ended.  These financial statements
   are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is
   to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

   We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
   standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
   obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
   free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test
   basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
   statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
   used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
   the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audit
   provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

   In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
   in all material respects, the financial position of Rainfair, Inc. as of
   April 30, 1996, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
   the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
   principles.

   As discussed in Note 11, the Company changed its method of accounting for
   post-retirement health care benefits.

   As discussed in Note 12 to the financial statements, subsequent to April
   30, 1996, the Company has announced its intentions to sell all operating
   assets and liabilities of Rainfair, Inc. to a joint venture owned by its
   current owner and LaCrosse Footwear, Inc.  This subsequent event is not
   reflected in the accompanying financial statements.

                   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
                                 April 30, 1996

   Rainfair, Inc. was incorporated on March 27, 1984 in the State of
   Wisconsin.  The Company manufactures protective clothing and imports boots
   and clothing for the industrial and consumer markets and grants credit to
   its customers, substantially all of whom are in the United States.  The
   Company's fiscal year end is April 30.  The significant accounting
   policies followed by the Company are presented below:


   USE OF ESTIMATES IN PREPARING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
   accepted accounting principles requires 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.


   INVENTORIES

   Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost
   determined on a last-in, first-out (LIFO) basis.


   PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

   Property and equipment are carried at cost.  Maintenance and repairs,
   including the replacement of minor items, are expensed as incurred, and
   major additions to property and equipment are capitalized.

   Depreciation is provided by the Company on both the straight-line and
   accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the related assets
   after allowing for estimated salvage value on selected assets.


   INCOME TAXES

   Current tax liabilities or assets are recognized for the estimated taxes
   payable or refundable on tax returns for the current year.  Deferred
   income taxes are provided on temporary differences between financial
   statement and income tax reporting.  Temporary differences are differences
   between the amounts of assets and liabilities reported for financial
   statement purposes and their tax bases. Deferred tax liabilities are
   recognized for temporary differences that will be taxable in future years'
   tax returns.  Deferred tax assets are recognized for temporary differences
   that will be deductible in future years' tax returns and for operating
   loss and tax credit carryforwards.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a
   valuation allowance if it is deemed more likely than not that some or all
   of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.


   PENSION EXPENSE

   The Company's funded pension plan expense includes the normal cost plus
   amortization of prior service costs over a 30-year period.

   The Company annually provides for its unfunded pension plan expense by
   calculating an estimated amount utilizing certain actuarial assumptions.



                     This information is an integral part of
                     the accompanying financial statements.

   The net deferred tax asset is presented in the accompanying balance sheet
   as follows:

   Current deferred tax asset                               $  82,000

   The Company has Wisconsin manufacturers' sales tax credits available for
   carrying forward to offset future income tax of approximately $7,000,
   expiring in varying amounts through April 30, 2011.

   The Company's provision for income taxes differed from the tax that would
   result from applying statutory Federal tax rates to income before income
   taxes, primarily because of State income taxes, State tax credits utilized
   and nondeductible expenses.


   NOTE 9 - SIGNIFICANT CONCENTRATIONS

   Generally accepted accounting principles require disclosure of information
   about certain significant estimates and current vulnerabilities due to
   certain concentrations.  These matters include the following:

   Collective Bargaining Arrangements

   Substantially all of the Company's production employees are covered by a
   collective bargaining agreement which is scheduled to expire July, 1997.

   Major Customers

   The Company derived approximately 21% of net sales in 1996 from one major
   customer.  As of April 30, 1996, the balance due from this customer was
   approximately 17% of the company's accounts receivable.

   NOTE 10 - DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

   The Company's financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash
   equivalents, trade receivables and payables and notes payable.  There are
   no significant differences between the carrying value and fair value of
   any of these financial instruments except for the note which bears
   interest at 4%.  The book value of this note is $840,000 and the fair
   value is estimated at $616,706 at April 30, 1996, based on an interest
   rate of 9.5%.

   NOTE 11 - POSTRETIREMENT HEALTH BENEFITS

   The Company provides health insurance benefits to certain retirees under
   an agreement with those individuals when they retired.  The Company has
   recorded the cost of such benefits on a "pay-as-you-go" (cash) basis.

   Financial Accounting Standard No. 106, Employees' Accounting for
   Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pension, became effective for the
   Company for the year ended April 30, 1996.  This standard requires
   accrual, during the years that the employee renders the necessary service,
   of the expected cost of providing those benefits.

   The Company's unfunded liability for future health benefits as of April 1,
   1995 was $265,243. As permitted under the standard, the Company has
   elected a delayed recognition of the unfunded obligation, whereby the
   transition obligation is amortized on a straight-line basis over the
   average life expectancy period of the plan participants.

   Disclosures required under FAS No. 106 as of March 31, 1996 are as
   follows:

                                                         Delayed
                                                        Recognition

   NOTE 12 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT


   Subsequent to year-end, the Company reached an agreement to sell the
   operating assets of Rainfair, Inc., subject to its operating liabilities,
   to a joint venture owned by the Company's majority stockholder and
   LaCrosse Footwear, Inc.  The sales price exceeds the book value of the
   Company's net assets.  The joint venture will continue the business
   operations of Rainfair, Inc.  The sale is expected to be completed May 31,
   1996.



                    This information is an integral part of 
                     the accompanying financial statements.

                             LACROSSE FOOTWEAR, INC.
                          UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED
                       CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION


               The following unaudited pro forma financial information relates
   to the May 31, 1996 acquisition by a 50% owned subsidiary (the "Subsidiary")
   of LaCrosse Footwear, Inc. ("LaCrosse") of substantially all of the assets
   of Rainfair, Inc. ("Rainfair") and the assumption of certain specified
   liabilities (the "Acquisition").  The Acquisition was accounted for as a
   purchase.  The pro forma amounts have been prepared based on certain 
   purchase accounting and other pro forma adjustments (as described in the 
   accompanying notes) to the December 31, 1995 and March 30, 1996 historical
   financial statements of both companies.  In June, 1996, Rainfair's name
   was changed and the Subsidiary's name was subsequently changed to Rainfair,
   Inc. 

               The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of 
   income for the year ended December 31, 1995 and the quarter ended March 30,
   1996 reflect the historical results of operations of both companies for the
   year ended December 31, 1995 and quarter ended March 30, 1996 with pro 
   forma acquisition adjustments as if the Acquisition had occurred at the 
   beginning of the period presented.  The unaudited pro forma condensed
   consolidated balance sheet at March 30, 1996 reflects the historical 
   financial position of both companies at March 30, 1996, with pro forma 
   acquisition adjustments as if the Acquisition had occurred on March 30, 
   1996.  The pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes 
   and give effect to events that are (a) directly attributable to the
   Acquisition, (b) factually supportable, and (c) in the case of certain
   income statement adjustments, expected to have a continuing impact.  

               The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial
   statements should be read in connection with LaCrosse's Annual Report on 
   Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995, along with the April 30, 
   1996 financial statements of Rainfair and related notes appearing elsewhere
   in this Current Report on Form 8-K.

               The unaudited pro forma financial information presented is for 
   information purposes only and does not purport to represent what LaCrosse's
   and Rainfair's financial position or results of operations as of the dates
   presented would have been had the Acquisition in fact occurred on such
   dates or at the beginning of the periods indicated or to project
   LaCrosse's consolidated financial position or results of operations for
   any future date or period.

                     NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED
                        CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        (in thousands except share data)

   NOTE 1

   The pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet has been prepared to
   reflect the purchase by a 50% owned subsidiary of LaCrosse of
   substantially all of the assets and the assumption of certain specified
   liabilities of Rainfair, Inc. (the "Acquisition").  The assets have been
   adjusted to their estimated fair value at March 30, 1996.  The pro
   forma adjustments as of March 30, 1996 reflect the following:

     a)   The allocation of excess of cost over the fair value of net assets
          acquired to goodwill.

     b)   The restatement of the value of certain assets and liabilities to
          their estimated fair market value.

     c)   The elimination of assets not acquired and liabilities not assumed
          as part of the acquisition and the elimination of the LIFO reserve.

     d)   The financing for the acquisition.

   NOTE 2

   The pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the year
   ended December 31, 1995 and the three months ended March 30, 1996 are
   based on the financial statements of LaCrosse and Rainfair for the twelve
   months ended December 31, 1995 and the three months ended March 30, 1996,
   respectively, after giving effect to the following pro forma adjustments:

     a)   Reduction of net sales and cost of sales resulting from the
          elimination of sales from LaCrosse to Rainfair.

     b)   Reclassification of Rainfair's costs to conform with
          classifications used by LaCrosse Footwear.

     c)   Change in operating expenses reflecting reduced depreciation
          expense, amortization of goodwill based on a useful life of 15
          years and increased facility costs reflecting the terms of a new
          lease agreement for the Subsidiary's facility in Racine, Wisconsin.

     d)   Reduced interest expense, primarily due to lower borrowing costs
          for LaCrosse and the improved capital structure of the Subsidiary.

     e)   Provision for income taxes resulting from incremental income using
          LaCrosse's effective tax rate.

   NOTE 3

   The financial information of the Subsidiary utilized in the pro forma
   condensed consolidated financial statements has been extracted from the
   full financial statements of Rainfair.  Certain expenses, such as deferred
   compensation, were not acquired by the Subsidiary and therefore have not
   been allocated to the Acquisition.  Certain expenses, such as interest,
   have been estimated.  Income tax expense has been calculated using
   LaCrosse's effective tax rate.  Similarly, certain assets of Rainfair,
   such as cash and deferred taxes, and certain liabilities, such as loans,
   were not acquired by the Subsidiary and are therefore eliminated in the
   pro forma adjustments.

   NOTE 4

   The purchase price for Rainfair has been allocated to the underlying
   acquired assets and liabilities based on estimated fair values at the date
   of the Acquisition.  Such estimates may be revised at a later date.  A
   summary of the purchase price allocation is as follows.

     Allocated to:                      (In Thousands)

     Working capital other than cash                        $ 9,670
