NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared by
Cutter & Buck Inc. ("Company"), in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form
10-QSB 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
seasonal, and therefore the results of operations for the three months ended
July 31, 1996 may not be indicative of the results for the full fiscal year.
For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto
for the year ended April 30, 1996, included in the Company's filing on Form
10-KSB.

2.   NET INCOME PER SHARE

     Net income per share has been computed by dividing net income 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 except when the effect of their
inclusion would be antidilutive.

3.   DUE FROM FACTOR

     Pursuant to the terms of factoring agreements, the Company assigns a
portion of its qualifying accounts receivable to factors on a preapproved,
nonrecourse basis.  The amount due from factors consisted of the following:

5.   LINE OF CREDIT

     On July 8, 1996, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Bank of
America NW, N.A. d/b/a Seafirst Bank (Seafirst Bank) for a $7 million line of
credit, replacing the Company's previous line of credit.  The line of credit
with Seafirst Bank is used for international letters of credit, bankers'
acceptances and working capital advances.  Interest on borrowings is charged and
payable monthly at Seafirst Bank's prime rate.  The line of credit is
collateralized by a security interest in the Company's inventory, accounts
receivable, contract rights and general intangibles.  The loan agreement 
contains certain restrictive covenants covering minimum working capital, 
tangible net worth and accounts receivable turnover, as well as a maximum 
debt-to-equity ratio.  Seafirst Bank and Republic Factors Corp. have entered 
into an intercreditor agreement allocating between them priority as to the 
Company's assets in which both financial institutions have a security interest.

     At July 31, 1996, letters of credit outstanding totaled $2,727,813 and
working capital advances totaled $2,070,541.

6.   EUROPEAN OPERATIONS

     The Company formed a United Kingdom subsidiary in February, 1996 for direct
marketing, sales and distribution of the Company's sportswear and outerwear in
the United Kingdom and is in the process of forming a Netherlands subsidiary for
its operations in Europe.

7.   SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

     The Company has three stock option plans that provide for the granting 
of options to employees, officers and directors of the Company to purchase up 
to 525,313 shares of Common Stock.  Options granted under the 1991 plan 
provide for 50% vesting on the first anniversary from the date of grant and 
25% vesting on each of the second and third anniversaries.  Options granted 
under the 1995 employee plan generally provide for vesting over a five-year 
period with vesting at 20% each year.  Options granted under the 1995 
director plan become exercisable six months after the date of grant.  Options 
under the plans expire after 10 years and have been granted at fair market 
value on the date of grant.  At July 31, 1996, 409,822 options to purchase 
shares of Common Stock were outstanding under these plans, 160,722 of which 
were exercisable, and 115,145 shares under the plans remained available for 
future grant.

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

OVERVIEW
     The Company designs, sources and markets updated, traditional men's
sportswear and outerwear.  It distributes its products predominantly through
golf pro shops and resorts, upscale men's specialty stores and corporate sales
accounts.  The Company continues to emphasize the golf distribution channel
because it believes this is an effective way to reach its target market of
affluent, sports-minded 30- to 55-year-old men and build brand identity.  The 
Company has found golf pro shops to be receptive to its distinctive product,
merchandising approach and sales support.

     Historically, the Company has experienced its lowest level of net sales and
profitability in its first and third quarters, ending July 31 and January 31,
respectively.  Correspondingly, the Company's highest level of sales and
profitability have been achieved in its second and fourth quarters, ending
October 31 and April 30, respectively.  This seasonality has resulted primarily
from the timing of shipments to golf pro shops and men's specialty stores due to
seasonal fluctuations in consumer demand, the timing and amount of orders from
key customers, the timing of sales of seasonal remainder merchandise and
availability of product.  This pattern of sales affects working capital
requirements and liquidity, as the Company generally must finance higher levels
of inventory during the first and third quarters, when sales are lowest.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
     NET SALES increased 142.1% in the three months ended July 31, 1996 to 
$7,999,639 from $3,304,756 in the three months ended July 31, 1995.  For the 
first quarter of fiscal year 1997 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 
year 1996, increases in net sales in the United States to the golf 
distribution, corporate and specialty store channels were $2,635,719, 
$1,054,635 and $639,745, respectively.  Increases in these three channels 
accounted for approximately 92% of the overall increase in net sales.  In 
addition to these channels, for the three months ended July 31, 1996, 
international distributor sales also increased and net sales of the Company's 
direct distribution in the United Kingdom and Europe totaled $332,723.

     GROSS PROFIT increased 142.7% in the three months ended July 31, 1996 to
$2,979,575 from $1,227,667 in the three months ended July 31, 1995.  Gross
profit as a percentage of net sales was 37.2% for the first quarter of fiscal
1997 and 37.1% for the first quarter of fiscal year 1996.  The expected
improvement in gross profit due to volume and letter of credit financing were
offset by additional expenses to expedite delivery of goods from Chinese
manufacturers due to threatened trade sanctions, costs to assure timely
deliveries during the Company's transition to its new distribution facility and
start-up expenses associated with an in-house embroidery operation and the
Company's new European operations.

     OPERATING EXPENSES increased to $2,761,488 for the three months ended July
31, 1996 from $1,293,628 for the three months ended July 31, 1995, but
decreased as a percentage of sales, to 34.5% in the first quarter of fiscal year
1997 from 39.1% in the first quarter of fiscal year 1996.  The  increase in
operating expenses was due primarily to increases in management, staffing and
facilities costs to support the Company's expanded operations.  Selling and
handling costs increased by $1,043,731, making up 71% of the overall increase in
operating expenses.  The majority of the increase in selling and handling costs
was due to increased sales commissions and staffing costs related to a higher
sales volume and a larger sales force.  The Company also has shifted more of its
sales force to exclusive sales representation of the Company's products.  In
addition, the Company incurred additional handling costs associated with
establishing its own warehouse facility in Seattle.

     OTHER INCOME  License and royalty income earned under licensing contracts
totaled $96,221 for the three months ended July 31, 1996 and $115,516 for the
three months ended July 31, 1995.  The decline in license and royalty income is
primarily due to the Company's re-purchase of its outerwear license effective
May 1, 1996 which now allows the Company to directly design and market Cutter &
Buck outerwear.  Factor commissions and interest expense was $111,545 in the
quarter ended July 31, 1996 compared to $112,880 in the quarter ended July 31,
1995.  These costs were comparable for the two periods despite increased sales
volume in fiscal 1996 due to a reduction in the proportion of sales factored .

     INCOME TAXES  The Company recorded $61,000 of income tax expense in the
three months ended July 31, 1996 and none in the three months ended July 31,
1995 due to the operating loss incurred during the period.  As of April 30, 
1996, $600,000 in net operating loss carryforwards remain available to offset 
future taxable income.

     As a result of the foregoing factors, the Company had NET INCOME of
$141,763 for the three months ended July 31, 1996 compared to a net loss of
$63,325 for the three months ended July 31, 1995.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
     The Company's primary need for funds is to finance working capital 
associated with growth in sales volume, specifically accounts receivable and 
finished goods inventory including the Company's CLASSIC products with 
multi-season appeal.  Working capital for the quarter ended July 31, 1996 has 
been funded primarily by collections of accounts receivable and bank 
borrowing.

     Net cash used for operating activities was $2,993,103 for the three months
ended July 31, 1996 compared to cash provided by operating activities of $4,052
for the three months ended July 31, 1995.  For the quarter ended July 31, 1996,
cash was used to support an increase in inventory of $2,755,185 and a net
increase in accounts receivable of $438,727.  For the quarter ended July 31,
1995, cash was provided primarily by a net reduction of accounts receivable that
was offset by the use of cash to support an increase in inventory.

     Net cash used in investing activities of $655,680 for the three months
ended July 31, 1996 was primarily attributable to an investment in warehouse
equipment and leasehold improvements totaling $203,652, in-store fixtures of
$350,828 and other furniture and equipment totaling $97,255.   For the quarter
ended July 31, 1995, the Company purchased in-store fixtures totaling $138,260
and other furniture and equipment totaling $73,463.

     Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended July
31, 1996 increased to $1,944,747 compared to $204,230 during the three
months ended July 31, 1995.  The three months ended July 31, 1996 included
$1,956,422 generated by bank borrowing and the issuance of capital stock under
the Company's employee stock purchase plan.  For the three months ended July 31,
1995, cash provided by financing activities included $1,052,871 generated by the
issuance of Series B Preferred Stock offset by $839,199 in reduced advances from
the factor.

     The Company has a $7 million line of credit with Bank of America NW, N.A.
d/b/a Seafirst Bank for international letters of credit, bankers' acceptances
and working capital advances.  Interest on borrowings is charged and payable
monthly at Seafirst Bank's prime rate.  The line of credit is collateralized by
a security interest in the Company's inventory, accounts receivable, contract
rights and general intangibles.  The loan agreement contains certain 
restrictive covenants covering minimum working capital, tangible net worth 
and accounts receivable turnover, as well as a maximum debt-to-equity ratio.  
At July 31, 1996, letters of credit outstanding totaled $2,727,813 and 
working capital advances totaled $2,070,541.
