NOTE 3 - FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS
Line of credit - The Company has a $50.0 million unsecured line of credit with a
bank syndicate which bears interest at either the bank's prime lending rate
(8.25% at September 30, 1999) or LIBOR plus 0.75% (6.08% at September 30, 1999),
as defined in the credit agreement, and matures August 2001. At September 30,
1999, the Company did not have any borrowings under this credit agreement. The
credit agreement contains various restrictive covenants including the
maintenance of certain financial ratios. At September 30, 1999, the Company was
in compliance with all restrictive covenants and financial ratios.
Long-term debt - The Company has a real estate term loan which is due September
2007. The term loan, which is collateralized by the Company's corporate
headquarters, requires quarterly principal payments of approximately $380,000
($1,519,000 annually), plus interest based upon LIBOR plus 1.00% (6.05% at
September 30, 1999) for ten years. In January 1999, the Company entered into an
interest rate swap agreement that results in fixing the interest rate over the
term of the note at 6.31%. At September 30, 1999, the outstanding balance under
the term loan was $19.7 million.
NOTE 4 - LITIGATION
During December 1996, three putative class action lawsuits (the "California
Securities Actions") were filed in the California Superior Court for the County
of Orange (the "Superior Court") against the Company and three of its officers
and directors alleging material misstatements and omissions in certain of the
Company's public statements, SEC filings and reports of third-party analysts.
The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages and other relief. In addition, one of
the lawsuits also asserted claims against firms who served as underwriters of
the June 6, 1996 offering of the Company's common stock by certain of its
shareholders of (the "Secondary Offering"). Pursuant to certain provisions of
the underwriting agreement between the Company and the firms, the Company agreed
to indemnify the firms against certain liabilities, including liabilities under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. On July 26, 1999,
6
<PAGE> 7
the Superior Court entered a dismissal without prejudice of the California
Securities Actions. In March 1997, the Company was named as a nominal defendant
in a putative derivative action (the "California Derivative Action") filed in
the Superior Court against two of the Company's officers and directors based on
substantially the same allegations as those in the California Securities
Actions. The derivative plaintiff seeks to recover damages and other relief on
behalf of the Company. On February 4, 1998, the court entered a final order of
dismissal of the putative derivative action. On April 8, 1998, the derivative
plaintiff filed a notice of appeal in the Superior Court. In March 1999, the
parties to the California Derivative Action entered into a stipulation of
settlement regarding the derivative claims. On June 24, 1999, the California
Court of Appeal, Fourth Appellate District, approved the settlement and entered
a final judgment dismissing with prejudice the California Derivative Action and
approving the Company's release of claims against defendants James Jannard and
Mike Parnell. The settlement is not expected to have a material adverse effect
on the Company. During October, November and December 1997, five putative class
action lawsuits (the "Federal Securities Actions") were filed in the United
States District Court for the Central District of California, Southern Division
(the "District Court") against the Company, three of its officers and directors
and firms that served as underwriters of the Secondary Offering, alleging
material misstatements and omissions in certain of the Company's public
statements, the reports of third-party analysts and/or certain of the Company's
SEC filings. The plaintiffs in the Federal Securities Actions seek unspecified
damages and other relief. On July 10, 1998, the Company and the other defendants
filed motions to dismiss the Federal Securities Actions. On January 14, 1999,
the District Court denied the motions to dismiss. On March 3, 1999, the
defendants filed answers in the Federal Securities Actions. On June 29, 1999,
the District Court approved stipulations for class certification that the
parties had submitted and entered orders for class certification in the Federal
Securities Actions. Although it is too soon to predict the outcome of the
Federal Securities Actions with any certainty, based on its current
understanding of the facts, the Company believes that the plaintiffs' claims are
without merit and intends to vigorously defend the actions.
In addition, the Company is currently involved in litigation incidental to the
Company's business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution of
such litigation, in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on
the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 5 - CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 (SFAS
133), Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, on January
1, 1999. The adoption of SFAS 133 resulted in a transition adjustment recorded
by the Company as a cumulative-effect type adjustment of a $103,000 charge to
accumulated other comprehensive income to recognize the fair value of all
derivatives that are designated as cash-flow hedges.
The Company is exposed to gains and losses resulting from fluctuations in
foreign currency exchange rates relating to transactions of its international
subsidiaries as well as fluctuations in its variable rate debt. As part of its
overall strategy to manage the level of exposure to the risk of fluctuations in
foreign currency exchange rates, the Company uses foreign exchange contracts in
the form of forward contracts and option contracts. In addition, as part of its
overall strategy to manage the level of exposure to the risk of fluctuations in
interest rates, the Company has entered into an interest rate swap agreement. At
September 30, 1999, all of the Company's derivatives were designated and
qualified as cash flow hedges. For all qualifying and highly effective cash flow
hedges, the changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in other
comprehensive income. The Company is currently hedging forecasted foreign
currency transactions that, assuming exchange rates at September 30, 1999 remain
constant, are expected to result in reclassifications of $0.9 million of gains
to earnings over the next fifteen months. The Company hedges forecasted
transactions that are determined probable to occur within 18 months or less.
7
<PAGE> 8
On the date the Company enters into a derivative contract, management designates
the derivative as a hedge of the identified exposure. The Company does not enter
into derivative instruments that do not qualify as cash flow hedges.
The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and
hedged items, as well as its risk-management objective and strategy for
undertaking various hedge transactions. In this documentation, the Company
specifically identifies the asset, liability, firm commitment, or forecasted
transaction that has been designated as a hedged item and states how the hedging
instrument is expected to hedge the risks related to the hedged item. The
Company formally measures effectiveness of its hedging relationships both at the
hedge inception and on an ongoing basis in accordance with its risk management
policy.
The Company would discontinue hedge accounting prospectively (i) if it is
determined that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes in
the cash flows of a hedged item, (ii) when the derivative expires or is sold,
terminated, or exercised, (iii) when the derivative is designated as a hedge
instrument, because it is probable that the forecasted transaction will not
occur, (iv) because a hedged firm commitment no longer meets the definition of a
firm commitment or (v) if management determines that designation of the
derivative as a hedge instrument is no longer appropriate. During the three- and
nine-months ended September 30, 1999, the Company reclassified into earnings a
net gain of $407,000 and $1,098,000, respectively, resulting from the
expiration, sale, termination or exercise of foreign exchange contracts.
NOTE 6 - EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the reporting period. Earnings per share assuming
dilution is computed using the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding and the dilutive effect of potential common shares outstanding. For
the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999, the diluted weighted average
common shares outstanding did not include any dilutive options while for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1998 the diluted weighted average
common shares outstanding included 349,000 and 282,000, respectively, of
dilutive stock options.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion includes the operations of Oakley, Inc. and its
subsidiaries for each of the periods discussed.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended September 30, 1999 and 1998
Net sales
Net sales increased to $70.8 million for the three months ended September 30,
1999 from $67.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 1998, an
increase of $3.5 million, or 5.3%. This increase was primarily the result of
increased sales of the Company's prescription eyewear, apparel, watch and
footwear lines which were partially offset by a decline in sunglass sales. Gross
sunglass revenue represented 70.3% of gross sales for the quarter ended
September 30, 1999, down from 75.0% of gross sales for the quarter ended
September 30, 1998, primarily as a result of a decline in sales to Sunglass Hut,
the Company's largest customer. Revenue from new sunglass products introduced by
the Company in 1999, including the Juliet(TM), the new Zero(R), M Frame(R) and
Eye Jacket(R) and the new OO(TM) ("Double O") line, contributed over 30% of the
Company's total gross sunglass revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 1999.
The Company's net sales in the United States decreased 3.2% to $37.3 million for
the three months ended September 30, 1999 from $38.5 million in the comparable
1998 period principally as a result of a 27.9% decrease in net sales to Sunglass
Hut. This decrease was a result, in part, of Sunglass Hut's decision to delay
shipment of certain new products until the latter part of the 1999 third
quarter, in order to deplete its inventories of older styles. Sales to the
Company's other U.S. retail customers increased 10.0% over the comparable 1998
period, offsetting a substantial portion of the Sunglass Hut decline in sales.
The Company's international sales increased 16.7% to $33.5 million for the three
months ended September 30, 1999 from $28.7 million for the comparable period in
1998, principally as a result of increased sales from direct operations,
particularly in continental Europe, United Kingdom, Canada, Japan and South
Africa, partially offset by a slight decline in sales to independent
distributors. Footwear net sales were $1.4 million, or 1.9% of net sales, for
the quarter ended September 30, 1999. As a group, gross sales of goggles,
apparel, watches and sunglass accessories increased 14.6%, or $2.4 million,
during the quarter ended September 30, 1999 over the quarter ended September 30,
1998 primarily due to increased sales in the Company's expanded apparel line,
sunglass accessories and new watch line.
Gross profit
Gross profit increased to $44.1 million for the three months ended September 30,
1999 from $41.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 1998, an
increase of $2.2 million, or 5.3%. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit
remained constant at 62.3% for the three months ended September 30, 1999 and
1998. Excluding the impact of footwear, gross profit for the three months ended
September 30, 1999 increased to $44.9 million compared to $43.1 million for the
three months ended September 30, 1998.
Operating expenses
Operating expenses decreased to $27.9 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1999 from $28.0 million for the three months ended September 30,
1998, a decrease of $0.1 million, or 0.5%. Research and development expenses
were $1.7 million, or 2.5% of net sales, for the three months ended September
30, 1999 as compared to $1.3 million, or 1.9% of net sales, for the three months
ended September 30, 1998, an increase of $0.4 million due to increased new
product development efforts.
9
<PAGE> 10
Selling expenses decreased $0.8 million to $17.6 million, or 24.9% of net sales,
for the three months ended September 30, 1999 from $18.4 million, or 27.3% of
net sales, for the three months ended September 30, 1998 as a result of
decreased warranty costs attributable to certain process improvements. Shipping
and warehousing expenses decreased to $1.8 million, or 2.6% of net sales, for
the three months ended September 30, 1999 from $2.0 million, or 3.0 % of net
sales, for the comparable 1998 period due to positive results from various
initiatives to reduce shipping costs implemented during the early part of 1999.
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30,
1999 were $6.7 million, or 9.5% of net sales, compared to $6.3 million, or 9.4%
of net sales, in the same period in 1998.
Operating income
The Company's operating income increased to $16.2 million for the three months
ended September 30, 1999 from $13.9 million for the three months ended September
30, 1998, an increase of $2.3 million, or 17.0%, over the same period in the
previous year. As a percentage of net sales, operating income increased to 22.9%
for the three months ended September 30, 1999 from 20.6% for the three months
ended September 30, 1998. This increase in operating income as a percentage of
net sales is due to a decrease in operating expenses, particularly lower selling
and shipping and warehousing expenses. Excluding the Company's footwear line,
operating income as a percentage of net sales for the quarter ended September
30, 1999 increased to 25.8% compared to 23.5% for the comparable 1998 period.
Interest expense, net
The Company had net interest expense of $0.3 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1999 as compared with net interest expense of $0.5 million in the
comparable 1998 period due to lower average balances on the Company's revolving
line of credit.
Net income
The Company's net income increased to $10.3 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1999 from $8.2 million for the three months ended September 30,
1998, an increase of $2.1 million, or 25.3%, over the comparable 1998 quarter.
Net income reflects a reduction in the Company's tax rate to 35.0% in 1999 from
38.4% in 1998 resulting from the Company's international expansion and related
tax planning initiatives.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 1999 and 1998
Net sales
Net sales increased to $191.6 million for the nine months ended September 30,
1999 from $178.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, an
increase of $13.3 million, or 7.5%. This increase was primarily the result of
increased sales of a Wires, Minutes, Pro M-Frames and Tens and sales of new
sunglass products introduced during 1999 offsetting the natural decline in sales
of more mature products. Revenue from new sunglasses launched during the nine
months ended September 30, 1999, the X Metal(R) Juliet introduced in February
1999, new M-Frames and Zeros introduced in late May 1999, the Double O
introduced in June 1999 and new Eye Jacket introduced in August 1999,
contributed approximately 17% to the Company's total gross sunglass revenue.
Sales from the Company's expanded prescription program and sales of the
Company's polarized versions of selected sunglass lines contributed $4.6 million
to increased revenue. The Company's net sales in the United States increased
1.9% to $109.8 million from $107.8 million in the comparable 1998 period. Net
sales to the Company's largest customer, Sunglass Hut, decreased 7.2% during the
nine months ended September 30, 1999 over the comparable 1998 period due to
slower third quarter sales as described above. Sales to the Company's other U.S.
retail customers increased 7.9% over the comparable 1998 period, contributing to
the increase in U.S. sales. The Company's international sales increased 16.1% to
$81.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from $70.5 million
for the comparable period in 1998, principally as a result of increased sales in
all direct operations, particularly continental Europe, United Kingdom, Canada,
South Africa and Japan, offset by a slight decline in sales to independent
distributors. Footwear net sales were $2.1 million, or 1.1% of net sales, for
the nine months ended September 30, 1999. As a group,
10
<PAGE> 11
gross sales of goggles, apparel, watches and sunglass accessories increased
13.8% during the nine months ended September 30, 1999 over the comparable 1998
period primarily due to increased sales in the Company's expanded apparel line
and new watch line.
Gross profit
Gross profit increased to $119.6 million for the nine months ended September 30,
1999 from $112.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, an
increase of $7.4 million, or 6.6%. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit
decreased to 62.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from 62.9% for
the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The decline in gross profit as a
percentage of net sales is primarily attributable to the Company's footwear
start-up costs. Excluding the impact of footwear, gross profit for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999 increased to 64.4% compared to 64.1% for the
nine months ended September 30, 1998.
Operating expenses
Operating expenses increased to $83.7 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 from $77.2 million for the nine months ended September 30,
1998, an increase of $6.5 million, or 8.4%. Increased personnel related costs,
variable expenses such as commissions, higher footwear operating expenses,
increased advertising expenses and incremental expenses due to the shift to
direct operations in Canada contributed to the increase in operating expenses.
Research and development expenses were $4.7 million, or 2.4% of net sales, for
the nine months ended September 30, 1999 as compared to $3.8 million, or 2.1% of
net sales, for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, an increase of $0.9
million due to increased new product development efforts. Selling expenses
increased $3.3 million to $52.5 million, or 27.4% of net sales, for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999 from $49.2 million, or 27.6% of net sales, for
the nine months ended September 30, 1998 as a result of increases in variable
expenses such as commissions, higher advertising expenses and increased footwear
selling expenses, offset by reduced warranty costs attributable to certain
process improvements. Shipping and warehousing expenses decreased to $4.6
million, or 2.4% of net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from
$5.3 million, or 3.0% of net sales for the comparable 1998 period due to
positive results from various initiatives to reduce shipping costs. General and
administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 increased
to $21.8 million, or 11.4% of net sales, compared to $18.9 million, or 10.6% of
net sales, in the same period in 1998. This increase in general and
administrative expenses is primarily due to increased personnel costs and
related expenses and higher professional fees. For the nine months ended
September 30, 1998, general and administrative expenses included a $0.6 million
non-recurring gain from the sale of certain assets.
Operating income
The Company's operating income increased to $35.9 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999 from $35.0 million for the nine months ended September
30, 1998, an increase of $0.9 million, or 2.5%, from the same period in the
previous year. As a percentage of net sales, operating income decreased to 18.7%
for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from 19.6% for the nine months
ended September 30, 1998. This decrease in operating income as a percentage of
net sales was primarily due to greater operating expenses associated with the
Company's footwear line. Excluding the Company's footwear line, the Company's
operating income as a percentage of net sales for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 increased to 21.7% compared to 21.3% for the comparable 1998
period.

Interest expense, net
The Company had net interest expense of $1.5 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 as compared with net interest expense of $1.4 million in the
comparable 1998 period.
Net income
The Company's net income increased to $22.3 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 from $20.7 million for the nine months ended September 30,
1998, an increase of $1.6 million, or 7.9%, over the comparable 1998 nine month
period. Net income reflects a reduction in the Company's tax rate to 35.0% in
1999 from 38.4% in 1998 resulting from the Company's international expansion and
related tax planning initiatives.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company historically has financed its operations almost entirely with cash
flow generated from operations and borrowings from its credit facilities. Cash
provided by operating activities totaled $32.2 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 and $19.5 million for the comparable period of 1998. At
September 30, 1999, working capital was $70.0 million. Working capital may vary
from time to time as a result of seasonality, new product introductions and
changes in inventory levels. Accounts receivable were $42.0 million at September
30, 1999 as compared to $33.9 million at December 31, 1998 and $41.1 million at
September 30, 1998. The increase in accounts receivable from December 31, 1998
was expected because the Company's third quarter business has a higher
concentration of revenue from product categories, such as goggles and apparel,
which carry extended terms. Inventories were $39.0 million at September 30, 1999
compared to $35.5 million at December 31, 1998 and $34.5 million at September
30, 1998. The higher inventory level is the result of an increase inventory
investment overseas to accommodate the Company's international expansion. In
addition, the Company has increased its inventory levels for longer lead time
products to minimize the risk of lost revenue and to improve order fulfillment
rates. The Company has an unsecured line of credit of $50.0 million which
matures August 2001. At September 30, 1999, the Company did not have any
borrowings under such facility. The Company has a real estate term loan which
matures September 2007. The term loan is collateralized by the Company's
corporate headquarters and requires quarterly principal payments of
approximately $380,000 plus interest based on LIBOR plus 1.00% (6.05% at
September 30, 1999) for ten years. In January 1999, the Company entered into an
interest rate swap agreement that results in fixing the interest rate over the
term of the term loan at 6.31%. At September 30, 1999, the outstanding balance
on the term loan was $19.7 million.
Capital expenditures, net of retirements, for the nine months ended September
30, 1999 totaled $11.8 million. These expenditures were primarily attributable
to new product production tooling, production equipment, building improvements,
the expansion of the Company's information technology capabilities and new
in-store product displays. At September 30, 1999, the Company had commitments of
approximately $1.8 million for future capital purchases.
The Company believes that existing capital, anticipated cash flow from
operations and current and anticipated credit facilities will be sufficient to
meet operating needs and capital expenditures for the foreseeable future.

SEASONALITY
Historically, the Company's sales, in the aggregate, have been the highest in
the period from March to September, the period during which sunglass use is
typically highest. As a result, operating margins are typically lower in the
first and fourth quarters, as fixed operating costs are spread over lower sales
volume. In anticipation of seasonal increases in demand, the Company typically
builds inventories in the fourth quarter and first quarter when net sales have
historically been lower. In addition, the Company's shipments of goggles, which
generate gross margins at significantly lower levels than sunglasses, are lowest
in the second quarter. This seasonal trend contributes to the Company's gross
margin in the second quarter, which historically has been the highest of the
year. Although the Company's business generally follows this seasonal trend, new
product introductions and the Company's international expansion have partially
mitigated the impact of seasonality.
BACKLOG
Historically, the Company has generally shipped domestic orders (other than
preseason orders for ski goggles and apparel and orders from certain sunglass
specialty chains) within one day of receipt and international orders within two
weeks of receipt. At September 30, 1999, the Company had a backlog of $14.2
million, including backorders (merchandise remaining unshipped beyond its
scheduled shipping date) of $7.0 million as of such date.
INFLATION
The Company does not believe inflation has had a material impact on the Company
in the past, although there can be no assurance that this will be the case in
the future.
YEAR 2000
The Company has established a Year 2000 Project Team that has completed the
review of the readiness of its computer systems and business practices for
handling Year 2000 issues. These issues involve systems that are date sensitive
and may not be able to properly process the transition from year 1999 to year
2000 and beyond, resulting in miscalculations and software failures. The
Company's Year 2000 compliance strategy involves several phases: Inventory,
Assessment, Remediation, and Testing.
STATE OF READINESS
The Company has completed its internal inventory and assessment and is currently
in the remediation and testing phase. Critical information technology ("IT")
systems, which include the Company's enterprisewide information system, time
clocks, e-mail and phone systems, are stated Year 2000 compliant and have been
tested for compliance. The Company is currently implementing Year 2000 compliant
solutions on its non-IT systems, such as manufacturing equipment and those
systems involved with facility management (security systems, air/heating
systems, fire suppression systems). All phases for IT and non-IT systems are
targeted to be completed by November 1999 with ongoing testing to continue
through the end of 1999.
The Company's Year 2000 Project Team is coordinating the global effort and
monitoring progress of the Year 2000 readiness with respect to its subsidiaries.
Assessment of each subsidiary's internal systems is in progress with key
personnel at each subsidiary identified to locally manage the compliance project
and collect local business partner compliance statements.
The Company has initiated communications with all of its key business partners
to determine their extent and plans for Year 2000 compliance. As part of this
process, the Company has requested written assurances from its key external
business partners as to their Year 2000 readiness status and their plans to
become Year 2000 compliant when necessary. As of September 30, 1999, the Company
had received responses from a majority of its key business partners
acknowledging their compliance or intent to comply with Year 2000 issues. This
process is ongoing and is expected to continue throughout 1999.
13
<PAGE> 14
COSTS TO ADDRESS YEAR 2000 ISSUES
Based on analysis completed to date, management believes its current staff will
be sufficient to address the Year 2000 issues and that the staff time required
to address these issues should not have a material adverse effect on other
projects. The costs associated with the Year 2000 project have not been budgeted
and tracked as separate projects, but have been occurring in conjunction with
normal operating activities. These costs are being funded through operating cash
flows and are not expected to materially impact the Company's operating results.
Risks and Contingency Plans of Year 2000 Issues
The timing of a Year 2000 related disruption, if it were to occur, would
coincide with a seasonal low in the Company's business cycle, therefore having
less impact on the business. The most reasonably likely worst case Year 2000
scenario and the associated contingency plan would be:
1. A portion of non-core IT systems experience disruption. Such
disruption is not expected to have a material impact on the
Company's ability to function. A contingency plan would be
developed if the perceived risk increases, which management is
reviewing on a monthly basis.
2. A portion of manufacturing operations experience temporary
disruption. Such disruption is not expected to have a material
impact on the Company's ability to function, as normal stock
levels would cover anticipated shortages. The Company will
determine the appropriate level based on business conditions
and perceived risk, which management is reviewing on a monthly
basis.
3. A portion of the supplier base experiences disruption. The
Company has access to alternate suppliers for most of its raw
materials in the event of disruption of the supply of material
or resource. It is expected that the Company would source from
alternates until the normal supplier comes back on line.
4. A minor portion of the customer base experiences disruption.
Such disruption could result in a temporary reduction in
sales. However, this reduction is not readily quantifiable. A
contingency plan would be developed if the perceived risk
increases, which management is reviewing on a monthly basis.
There can be no assurance that there will not be a delay in, or increased costs
associated with, the implementation of the necessary systems and changes to
address the Year 2000 issues, and the Company's inability to implement such
systems and changes in a timely manner could have a material adverse effect on
future results of operations. In addition, the failure of certain of the
Company's significant customers or vendors to appropriately address the Year
2000 issue in a timely manner could have a material adverse effect on the
Company.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
When used in this document, the words "believes," "anticipates," "expects,"
"estimates," "intends," "may," "plans," "predicts," "will" or the negative
thereof and similar expressions are intended to identify in certain
circumstances forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to a
number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those projected, including risks related to the dependence on
sales to Sunglass Hut; the acceptance in the marketplace of new products; the
ability to source raw materials at prices favorable to the Company; the ability
to develop and introduce innovative products; currency fluctuations; and other
risks outlined in the Company's previously filed public documents, copies of
which may be obtained without cost from the Company. Given these uncertainties,
prospective investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such
statements. The Company also undertakes no obligation to update these
forward-looking statements.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks
The Company is exposed to a variety of risks, including foreign currency
fluctuations and changes in interest rates affecting the cost of its debt.
Foreign Currency - The Company has direct operations in Europe, Japan, Canada,
Mexico and South Africa which collect at future dates in the customers' local
currencies and purchase finished goods in U.S. dollars. Accordingly, the Company
is exposed to transaction gains and losses that could result from changes in
foreign currency exchange rates.
As more fully described in Note 5 to the Company's consolidated financial
statements, the Company is exposed to gains and losses resulting from
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates relating to foreign currency
transactions. As part of its overall strategy to manage the level of exposure to
the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company uses
foreign exchange contracts in the form of forward contracts and option
contracts. All of the Company's derivatives were designated and qualified as
cash flow hedges at September 30, 1999.
On the date the Company enters into a derivative contract, management designates
the derivative as a hedge of the identified exposure. The Company only enters
into derivative instruments that qualify as cash flow hedges as described in
SFAS 133. For all instruments qualifying as highly effective cash flow hedges,
the changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in other
comprehensive income. The following is a summary of the outstanding foreign
currency contracts outstanding at September 30, 1999:

The Company is exposed to credit losses in the event of nonperformance by
counterparties to its forward exchange contracts but has no off-balance sheet
credit risk of accounting loss. The Company anticipates, however, that the
counterparties will be able to fully satisfy their obligations under the
contracts. The Company does not obtain collateral or other security to support
the forward exchange contracts subject to credit risk but monitors the credit
standing of the counterparties.
The Company sells direct and through its subsidiaries to various customers in
the European Union which have adopted the Euro as a legal currency effective
January 1, 1999. The Euro is expected to begin circulation after a three-year
transition period on January 1, 2002. The Company has analyzed whether the
conversion to the Euro will materially affect its business operations. The
Company's information systems are capable of processing transactions in Euros.
Additionally, the Company is planning to upgrade certain of its information
systems through December 31, 2001 to enhance its capability to process
transactions and keep records in Euros. While the Company is uncertain as to the
ultimate impact of the conversion, the Company does not expect costs in
connection with the Euro conversion to be material.
Interest Rates - The Company's line of credit and long-term debt, with a total
balance of $19.7 million outstanding at September 30, 1999, bear interest based
on the bank's lending rate or LIBOR. In January 1999, the Company entered into
an interest rate swap agreement, effective March 1, 1999, that eliminates the
Company's risk of fluctuations in the variable rate of the long-term debt.
During the quarter ended September 30, 1999, the Company's line of credit
borrowings incurred interest based on the bank's reference rate. Based on the
weighted average interest rate on the line of credit of 8.15% during the three
months ended September 30, 1999, if interest rates on the line of credit were to
increase by 10% and to the extent that borrowings were outstanding, for every
$1.0 million outstanding on the Company's line of credit, net income would be
reduced by approximately $5,000 per year.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings
THE CALIFORNIA SECURITIES ACTIONS
The Company and certain of its officers and directors have been named as
defendants in three putative class action lawsuits (the "California Securities
Actions") filed in December 1996 in the California Superior Court for the County
of Orange (the "Superior Court"). The cases are captioned:
Yosef S. Rosenshein v. Oakley, Inc., Mike Parnell, Link Newcomb and Jim Jannard,
Case No. 773051 (filed December 17, 1996);
Herschel Harman v. Oakley, Inc., Mike Parnell, Link Newcomb and Jim Jannard,
Case No. 773053 (filed December 17, 1996); and
Eric Sher, Harold Baron and David O. Eckert v. Oakley, Inc., Mike Parnell, Link
Newcomb, Jim Jannard, Merrill Lynch & Co. and Alex. Brown & Sons, Inc., Case No.
773366 (filed December 24, 1996).
By order dated January 30, 1997, the Superior Court ordered that the California
Securities Actions be assigned to the Superior Court's Complex Litigation Panel,
where they have since been consolidated. On April 18, 1997, the plaintiffs filed
a consolidated amended complaint in the California Securities Actions. The
plaintiffs seek to represent a class of persons who purchased the Company's
common stock between March 22, 1996 and December 5, 1996.
The complaint in the California Securities Actions alleges claims for violations
of the antifraud provisions of the California Corporations Code, unfair business
practices and false advertising in violation of certain provisions of the
California Business and Professions Code, fraud and negligent misrepresentation.
The plaintiffs' claims are based on alleged material misstatements and omissions
in certain of the Company's public statements, Securities and Exchange
Commission filings and in the reports of third-party analysts regarding the
Company's retail distribution practices, market conditions, new product
developments and extensions of existing product lines, business with Sunglass
Hut and earnings prospects. The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages and other
relief against the Company and the other defendants.
The plaintiffs in the California Securities Actions have also asserted claims
against Merrill Lynch & Co. ("Merrill Lynch") and Alex. Brown and Sons, Inc.
("Alex. Brown"), which served as the U.S. Representatives of the U.S.
Underwriters of the June 6, 1996 offering of five million shares of common stock
of the Company by certain of its shareholders (the "Secondary Offering"). By
letter dated February 7, 1997, counsel for Merrill Lynch and Alex. Brown gave
the Company notice pursuant to the indemnification provisions of the U.S.
Purchase Agreement dated June 6, 1996, for the Secondary Offering that they were
asserting a claim for indemnification under such provisions and requested that
the Company reimburse Merrill Lynch and Alex. Brown on a current basis for their
attorneys' fees and expenses incurred in defending the California Securities
Actions. Counsel for Merrill Lynch and Alex. Brown subsequently indicated that
this claim for indemnification also applies to attorneys' fees and expenses
incurred in defending the Federal Securities Actions (described below).
On July 7, 1999, the parties submitted to the Superior Court a stipulated
request for dismissal without prejudice of the California Securities Actions. On
July 26, 1999, the Superior Court entered a dismissal without prejudice of the
California Securities Actions.
THE FEDERAL SECURITIES ACTIONS
The Company and certain of its officers and directors have been named as
defendants in five putative
17
<PAGE> 18
class action lawsuits (the "Federal Securities Actions") filed in October,
November and December 1997 in the United States District Court for the Central
District of California, Southern Division (the "District Court"). The cases are
captioned:
Kensington Capital Management v. Oakley, Inc., Mike Parnell, Link Newcomb, Jim
Jannard, Merrill Lynch & Co. and Alex. Brown & Sons Incorporated, No. SACV
97-808 GLT (EEx) (filed October 10, 1997) (the "Kensington Capital Management
Action");
Frank Lister, James J. Scotella, Raymond E. Neveau, James S. Lewinski, Jack
Rosenson and Lee Sperling v. Oakley, Inc., Mike Parnell, Link Newcomb, Jim
Jannard, Merrill Lynch & Co. and Alex. Brown & Sons Incorporated, No. SACV
97-809 GLT (EEx) (filed October 10, 1997) (the "Lister Action");
Stuart Chait and Marilyn Schwartz v. Oakley, Inc., Mike Parnell, Link Newcomb,
Jim Jannard, Merrill Lynch & Co. and Alex. Brown & Sons, Incorporated, No. SACV
97-829 GLT (EEx) (filed October 20, 1997) (the "Chait Action");
Val Fichera v. Oakley, Inc., Mike Parnell, Link Newcomb, Jim Jannard, Merrill
Lynch & Co. and Alex. Brown and Sons Incorporated, No. SACV 97-928 GLT (EEx)
(filed November 17, 1997 (the "Fichera Action"); and
Yosef J. Rosenshein and Hershel Harman v. Oakley, Inc., Mike Parnell, Link
Newcomb, Jim Jannard, Merrill Lynch & Co. and Alex. Brown & Sons Incorporated,
No. SACV 97-993 GLT (EEx) (filed December 5, 1997 (the "Rosenshein Federal
Action").
The plaintiffs in the Kensington Capital Management and the Fichera Actions seek
to represent a class of persons who purchased the Company's common stock in the
Secondary Offering and allege claims for violations of sections 11, 12(a)(2) and
15 of the Securities Act of 1933. The plaintiffs' claims are based on alleged
material misstatements and omissions in the prospectus issued and registration
statement filed in connection with the Secondary Offering regarding the
Company's retail distribution practices, market conditions, new product
developments and extensions of existing product lines, business with Sunglass
Hut and quality control standards. The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages and
other relief against the Company and the other defendants. Plaintiffs in the
Kensington Capital Management Action filed a motion to consolidate that action
with the Fichera Action, and plaintiffs in the Kensington Capital Management and
the Fichera Actions filed competing motions to be appointed lead plaintiffs for
the purported plaintiff class and for the selection of lead counsel to the
purported plaintiff class. Plaintiff's motion in the Fichera Action was later
withdrawn.
The plaintiffs in the Lister and Chait Actions and the Rosenshein Federal Action
seek to represent a class of persons who purchased the Company's common stock
between March 22, 1996 and December 5, 1996, including in the Secondary
Offering, and allege claims for violations of sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The
plaintiffs' claims are based on alleged material misstatements and omissions in
certain of the Company's public statements, Securities and Exchange Commission
filings and in the reports of third-party analysts regarding the Company's
retail distribution practices, market conditions, new product developments and
extensions of existing product lines, business with Sunglass Hut, earnings
prospects and quality control standards. The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages
and other relief against the Company and the other defendants. Plaintiffs in the
Lister and Chait Actions filed a motion to consolidate the Lister and Chait
Actions and the Rosenshein Federal Action, to appoint certain persons as lead
plaintiffs for the purported plaintiff class and for the selection of lead
counsel to the purported plaintiff class.
On January 26, 1998, the District Court granted the plaintiffs' motions for
appointment of lead plaintiffs and for the selection of lead counsel to the
purported plaintiff classes. The District Court further ordered
18
<PAGE> 19
that all of the Federal Securities Actions be consolidated for pretrial
purposes. On April 3, 1998, plaintiffs filed consolidated amended complaints in
the Federal Securities Actions.
On July 10, 1998, the Company and defendants Mike Parnell, Link Newcomb and Jim
Jannard filed motions to dismiss the Federal Securities Actions. Merrill Lynch
and Alex. Brown also filed motions to dismiss the Federal Securities Actions. On
January 14, 1999, the District Court denied the motions to dismiss filed by the
Company and the other defendants. On March 3, 1999, the defendants filed answers
to the consolidated amended complaints in the Federal Securities Actions. On
April 2, 1999, plaintiffs filed motions for class certification in the Federal
Securities Actions. On June 24, 1999, the parties submitted to the District
Court stipulations and proposed orders for class certification in the Federal
Securities Actions. On June 29, 1999, the District Court approved the
stipulations and entered orders for class certification in the Federal
Securities Actions. Discovery in the Federal Securities Actions has commenced.
Although it is too soon to predict the outcome of the Federal Securities Actions
with any certainty, based on its current knowledge of the facts, the Company
believes that the plaintiffs' claims are without merit and intends to defend the
Federal Securities Actions vigorously.
THE CALIFORNIA DERIVATIVE ACTION
The Company has been named as a nominal defendant in a putative derivative
lawsuit against certain of its directors and officers filed in March 1997 in the
Superior Court. The case is captioned Blackman v. James Jannard, Mike Parnell
and Does 1 through 100, Case No. 777098 (filed March 27, 1997) (the "California
Derivative Action").
In the California Derivative Action, the plaintiff, purporting to sue on behalf
of the Company, alleges claims for breach of fiduciary duty, constructive fraud,
unjust enrichment and violations of the insider trading provisions of the
California Corporations Code. Like the California Securities Actions, the
plaintiff's claims in the California Derivative Action are, among other things,
based upon alleged material misstatements and omissions in certain of the
Company's public statements and Securities and Exchange Commission filings
regarding the Company, its operation and future prospects. After sustaining the
defendants' demurrer to the plaintiff's second amended complaint, on February 4,
1998, the Superior Court entered a final order of dismissal of the California
Derivative Action. On April 8, 1998, the plaintiff in the California Derivative
Action filed a notice of appeal in the Superior Court. In March 1999, the
parties to the California Derivative Action entered into a stipulation of
settlement regarding derivative claims that is subject to approval by the
California Court of Appeal, Fourth Appellate District (the "Court of Appeal").
Pursuant to the proposed settlement, a committee of independent members of
Oakley's board of directors (the "Independent Committee"), comprised of
non-employee directors Irene Miller and Orin Smith, investigated the allegations
of insider trading asserted in the California Derivative Action against
defendants James Jannard and Mike Parnell. The Independent Committee was
assisted by counsel, Norman Blears, Esq. of the law firm of Heller, Ehrman,
White & McAuliffe. The Independent Committee determined that the insider trading
claims lacked merit and recommended to Oakley's board of directors that the
action be dismissed and the claims against Messrs. Jannard and Parnell released
in accordance with the terms of the proposed settlement. The Independent
Committee also reported its findings and recommendations respecting the
allegations of insider trading to plaintiff's counsel and a copy of its report
was filed with the Court of Appeal.
On June 24, 1999, the Court of Appeal approved the settlement and entered a
final judgment dismissing with prejudice the California Derivative Action and
approving the Company's release of claims against Messrs. Jannard and Parnell.
The settlement is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company.
In addition, the Company is a party to various claims, complaints and other
legal actions that have arisen in the normal course of business from time to
time. The Company believes the outcome of these pending

legal proceedings, in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on
the operations or financial position of the Company.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
On October 7, 1999, the Company's founder and Chairman, Jim Jannard, assumed the
position of Chief Executive Officer, succeeding Bill Schmidt who resigned on
October 6, 1999 as the Company's Chief Executive Officer and as a board member.
On October 20, 1999, the Company announced its plans to restructure and refocus
its footwear business. As a strategic response to continued net operating losses
in its footwear business, the Company plans to reduce its in-house manufacturing
investment to the capacity necessary to fulfill outstanding retailer orders for
current and selected future footwear styles, create development prototypes and
production samples for all future styles, fulfill consumer-direct on-line orders
as demand warrants and will seek to establish relationships with select
manufacturers for component and complete-unit production.
As part of the restructuring plan, the Company expects to record an after-tax
charge of between approximately $7 million and $10 million, or $0.10 to $0.14
per share, in the fourth quarter ending December 31, 1999. The amount includes
the disposal of the Company's excess footwear manufacturing equipment,
write-down of footwear inventory and raw materials and other charges incidental
to the restructuring.
