NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. | Basis of Presentation | |
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statement presentation. | ||
Quiksilver, Inc. (the “Company”), in its opinion, has included all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for the three and nine month periods ended July 31, 2006 and 2005. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes for the year ended October 31, 2005 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year due to seasonal and other factors. | ||
2. | New Accounting Pronouncements | |
In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 151, “Inventory Costs an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4”. SFAS No. 151 clarifies that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted materials (spoilage) should be recognized as current-period charges and requires the allocation of fixed production overheads to inventory based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. SFAS No. 151 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS No. 151 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operation or cash flows. | ||
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R) “Share-Based Payment”. SFAS No. 123(R) requires that companies recognize compensation expense equal to the fair value of stock options or other share based payments. The Company adopted this standard during the nine months ended July 31, 2006 using the modified prospective method. See Note 3 for a description of the impact of this standard on the Company’s financial statements. | ||
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections,” which replaces APB Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes,” and SFAS No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements.” SFAS No. 154 applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principles and requires retrospective application (a term defined by the statement) to prior periods’ financial statements, unless it is impracticable to determine the effect of a change. It also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement that does not include specific transition provisions. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 154 in the first quarter of fiscal 2007, but does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 154 to have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. | ||
In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). This interpretation clarifies the application of SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” by defining criteria that an individual tax position must meet for any part of the benefit of that position to be recognized in the Company’s financial statements and also provides guidance on measurement, derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company expects to adopt FIN 48 on November 1, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the impact the adoption of FIN 48 will have on its financial position and results of operations. |

3. | Stock Based Compensation | |
On November 1, 2005, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R). Prior to November 1, 2005, the Company had accounted for stock-based payments under the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion 25 and related interpretations, as permitted by SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” In accordance with APB 25, no compensation expense was required to be recognized for options granted that had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. | ||
Under the modified prospective method of SFAS No. 123(R), compensation expense was recognized during the nine months ended July 31, 2006 and includes compensation expense for all stock-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of November 1, 2005, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123 and compensation expense for all stock based payments granted after November 1, 2005, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R). The Company’s financial results for the prior periods have not been restated. | ||
As a result of adopting SFAS No. 123(R), during the nine months ended July 31, 2006, the Company’s net income is $11.3 million lower than if it had continued to account for stock based compensation under APB 25 as it did for the nine months ended July 31, 2005. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended July 31, 2006 would have been $0.07 and $0.07, respectively, if the Company had not adopted SFAS No. 123(R), compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.04 and $0.04, respectively. Compensation expense was included as selling, general and administrative expense for the period. The impact on cost of goods sold was not significant. The adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) had no impact on the Company’s cash flows. | ||

Non-vested, July 31, 2006 | 7,115,226 | $ | 6.27 | |||||
Consistent with the valuation method used for the disclosure only provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Company is using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value compensation expense. Forfeitures are estimated at the date of grant based on historical rates and reduce the compensation expense recognized. The expected term of options granted is derived from historical data on employee exercises. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the date of grant. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. For the three months ended July 31, 2005 options were valued assuming a risk-free interest rate of 4.3%, volatility of 50.3%, zero dividend yield, and an expected life of 5.2 years. The weighted average fair value of options granted was $8.11 for the three months ended July 31, 2005. No options were granted during the three months ended July 31, 2006. The Company records stock compensation expense using the graded vested method over the vesting period, which is generally three years. As of July 31, 2006, the Company had approximately $20.5 million of unrecognized compensation expense expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.0 years. | ||
The reported net income and net income per share for the three months and nine months ended July 31, 2005 have been presented below to reflect the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) had the Company been required to adopt this standard for the nine months ended July 31, 2005. |

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
8. | Derivative Financial Instruments | |
The Company is exposed to gains and losses resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates relating to certain sales, royalty income, and product purchases of its international subsidiaries that are denominated in currencies other than their functional currencies. The Company is also exposed to foreign currency gains and losses resulting from domestic transactions that are not denominated in U.S. dollars, and to fluctuations in interest rates related to its variable rate debt. Furthermore, the Company is exposed to gains and losses resulting from the effect that fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates have on the reported results in the Company’s consolidated financial statements due to the translation of the operating results and financial position of the Company’s international subsidiaries. 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 various foreign currency exchange contracts and intercompany loans. In addition, interest rate swaps are used to manage the Company’s exposure to the risk of fluctuations in interest rates. | ||
Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting but are used by management to mitigate exposure to currency and interest rate risks are marked to fair value with corresponding gains or losses recorded in earnings. A gain of $0.6 million was recognized related to these types of derivatives during the nine months ended July 31, 2006. For all qualifying cash flow hedges, the changes in the fair value of the derivatives are recorded in other comprehensive income. As of July 31, 2006, the Company was hedging forecasted transactions expected to occur through May 2008. Assuming exchange rates at July 31, 2006 remain constant, $3.6 million of losses, net of tax, related to hedges of these transactions are expected to be reclassified into earnings over the next 22 months. | ||
On the date the Company enters into a derivative contract, management designates the derivative as a hedge of the identified exposure. The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as the risk-management objective and strategy for entering into various hedge transactions. In this documentation, the Company identifies the asset, liability, firm commitment, or forecasted transaction that has been designated as a hedged item and indicates 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 management determines 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) if it becomes probable that the forecasted transaction being hedged by the derivative 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 nine months ended July 31, 2006, the Company reclassified into earnings a net loss of $1.8 million resulting from the expiration, sale, termination, or exercise of derivative contracts. | ||
The Company enters into forward exchange and other derivative contracts with major banks and is exposed to credit losses in the event of nonperformance by these banks. The Company anticipates, however, that these banks will be able to fully satisfy their obligations under the contracts. Accordingly, the Company does not obtain collateral or other security to support the contracts. |

9. | Business Acquisitions | |
Effective July 31, 2005, the Company acquired Skis Rossignol SA (“Rossignol”), a wintersports and golf equipment manufacturer. Rossignol offers a full range of wintersports equipment under the Rossignol, Dynastar, Lange, Look and Kerma brands, and also sells golf products under the Cleveland Golf and Never Compromise brands. The Company has included the operations of Rossignol in its results since August 1, 2005. The purchase price, excluding transaction costs, included cash of approximately $208.3 million, approximately 2.2 million restricted shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at $28.9 million, a deferred purchase price obligation of approximately $32.5 million, a liability of approximately $16.9 million for the mandatory purchase of approximately 0.7 million outstanding public shares of Rossignol representing less than 5% of the share capital of Rossignol, and a liability of approximately $2.0 million for the estimated fair value of 0.1 million fully vested Rossignol stock options. Transaction costs totaled approximately $16.0 million. The valuation of the common stock issued in connection with the acquisition was based on its quoted market price for the five days before and after the announcement date, discounted to reflect the estimated effect of its trading restrictions. The deferred purchase price obligation is expected to be paid in 2010 and will accrue interest equal to the 3-month euro interbank offered rate (“Euribor”) plus 2.35% (currently 5.5%). The mandatory purchase of the remaining Rossignol shares was required under French law as the Company had obtained over 95% of the outstanding shares of Rossignol through a combination of share purchases, including a public tender offer. The purchase of these shares was completed in the quarter ended October 31, 2005 and the Company now owns 100% of the shares in Rossignol. Upon the future exercise of the Rossignol stock options, the Company will purchase the newly issued shares from the Rossignol stock option holders, retaining 100% ownership in Rossignol. These Rossignol stock options are treated as variable for accounting purposes and subsequent changes in the value of these stock options are recorded as compensation expense in the Company’s consolidated statement of income. The Company acquired a majority interest in Cleveland Golf when it acquired Rossignol, but certain former owners of Cleveland Golf retained a minority interest of 36.37%. The Company and the minority owners have entered into a put/call arrangement whereby the minority owners of Cleveland Golf can require the Company to buy all of their interest in Cleveland Golf after 4.5 years and the Company can buy their interest at its option after 7 years, each at a purchase price generally determined by reference to a multiple of Cleveland Golf’s annual profits and the Company’s price-earnings ratio. As a result of the minority interest and put/call arrangement, the Company will account for Cleveland Golf as a step acquisition. In a step acquisition, where less than 100% of an entity is acquired, only a portion of the fair value adjustments are recorded in the acquiring company’s balance sheet equal to the percentage ownership in the acquired company. Based on this step acquisition accounting, the Company has recorded 63.63% of the fair value adjustments for Cleveland Golf in its balance sheet. Goodwill arises from synergies the Company believes can be achieved integrating Rossignol’s brands, products and operations with the Company’s, and is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. Amortizing intangibles consist of customer relationships, patents and athlete contracts with estimated useful lives of twenty, seven and two years, respectively. The acquired trademarks are non-amortizing as they have been determined to have indefinite lives. |

In connection with the acquisition of Rossignol, the Company has formulated the Rossignol Integration Plan (“the Plan”). As of July 31, 2006 the Company has recognized approximately $65.3 million of liabilities related to the Plan. See Note 11 for further description of the Plan. | ||
Effective August 1, 2005, the Company acquired 11 retail stores in Australia from Surfection Pty Ltd, Manly Boardriders Pty Ltd. and Sydney Boardriders Pty Ltd. (“Surfection”). The operations of Surfection have been included in the Company’s results since August 1, 2005. The initial purchase price, excluding transaction costs, included cash of approximately $21.4 million. Transaction costs totaled approximately $1.1 million. The sellers are entitled to additional payments ranging from zero to approximately $17.1 million if certain sales and margin targets are achieved through September 30, 2008. The amount of goodwill initially recorded for the transaction would increase if such contingent payments are made. Goodwill arises from synergies the Company believes can be achieved through Surfection’s retail expertise and store presence in key locations in Australia, and is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. Amortizing intangibles consist of non-compete agreements with estimated useful lives of five years. |

10. | Indemnities and Guarantees | |
During its normal course of business, the Company has made certain indemnities, commitments and guarantees under which it may be required to make payments in relation to certain transactions. These include (i) intellectual property indemnities to the Company’s customers and licensees in connection with the use, sale and/or license of Company products, (ii) indemnities to various lessors in connection with facility leases for certain claims arising from such facility or lease, (iii) indemnities to vendors and service providers pertaining to claims based on the negligence or willful misconduct of the Company, and (iv) indemnities involving the accuracy of representations and warranties in certain contracts. The duration of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees varies, and in certain cases, may be indefinite. The majority of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential for future payments the Company could be obligated to make. The Company has not recorded any liability for these indemnities, commitments and guarantees in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. | ||
11. | Rossignol Integration Plan and Pre-acquisition Restructuring Plan | |
In connection with the acquisition of Rossignol, the Company has formulated the Rossignol Integration Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan covers the global operations of Rossignol and the Company’s existing businesses, and it includes the evaluation of facility relocations, nonstrategic business activities, redundant functions and other related items. As of July 31, 2006 the Company has recognized approximately $65.3 million of liabilities related to the Plan, including employee relocation and severance costs, moving costs, and other costs related primarily to the consolidation of Rossignol’s administrative headquarters in Europe, the consolidation of Rossignol’s European distribution, the consolidation and realignment of certain European manufacturing facilities, and the relocation of the Company’s wintersports equipment sales and distribution operations in the United States. These liabilities were included in the allocation of the purchase price for Rossignol in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations” and EITF Issue No. 95-3, “Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination”. As of July 31, 2006, the Company has also recognized approximately $1.4 million in inventory impairments relating to the realignment of its European manufacturing facilities. Costs that are not associated with the acquired company but relate to activities or employees of the Company’s existing operations are not significant and are charged to earnings. Certain land and facilities owned by the acquired company are expected to be sold during the next 12 months in connection with the Plan, while others are anticipated to be refinanced through sale-leaseback arrangements. Assets currently held for sale, primarily in the |

12. | Condensed Consolidating Financial Information | |
The Company has $400 million in publicly registered senior notes. Obligations under the Company’s senior notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by certain of its domestic subsidiaries. The Company is required to present condensed consolidating financial information for Quiksilver, Inc. and its domestic subsidiaries within the notes to the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the criteria established for parent companies in the SEC’s Regulation S-X, Rule 3-10(f). The following condensed consolidating financial information presents the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of Quiksilver Inc., its guarantor subsidiaries, its non-guarantor subsidiaries and the eliminations necessary to arrive at the information for the Company on a consolidated basis as of July 31, 2006 and October 31, 2005 and for the nine months ended July 31, 2006 and 2005. During the three months ended July 31, 2006, Cleveland Golf was added as a guarantor subsidiary. As a result, the October 31, 2005 balance sheet has been adjusted to reflect Cleveland Golf as a guarantor subsidiary. The principal elimination entries eliminate investments in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions. Due to the seasonality of the Company’s quarterly operations, management has applied the estimated consolidated annual effective income tax rate to both the guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries for interim reporting purposes. In our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2006, management will apply the actual income tax rate to both the guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries. These interim tax rates may differ from the actual annual effective income tax rates for both the guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries. |

ROGER CLEVELAND GOLF COMPANY, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | |
Basis of Presentation | ||
Roger Cleveland Golf Company, Inc. (the “Company”) manufactures, markets, and distributes golf clubs and related accessories. The Company is owned 64% by certain subsidiaries of Quiksilver, Inc. (the “Parent”) and 36% by a group of individuals. The Parent acquired its majority interest in the Company on July 31, 2005 and as a result the unaudited financial statements do not include financial statements for the three and nine month periods ended July 31, 2005. The Parent’s new basis is not reflected in the accompanying financial statements as these financial statements have been prepared on the carryover basis of accounting. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year due to seasonal and other factors. | ||
The Parent has $400 million in publicly registered notes. In July, 2006, the Company became a guarantor subsidiary of these senior notes, fully and unconditionally guaranteeing the senior note indebtedness of the Parent. Accordingly, the accompanying unaudited financial statements are being furnished in accordance with the SEC’s Regulation S-X, Rule 3-10. | ||
Cash Equivalents | ||
Certificates of deposit and highly liquid short-term investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less are considered cash equivalents. Carrying values approximate fair value. | ||
Credit Risk | ||
The Company sells its products primarily to pro shops and other retailers of golf clubs and accessories throughout the United States and sells to distributors internationally. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. The Company maintains reserves for estimated bad debts, and those losses have generally been within management’s expectations. | ||
Inventories | ||
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. Management regularly reviews the inventory quantities on hand and adjusts inventory values for excess and obsolete inventory based primarily on estimated forecasts of product demand and market value. | ||
Equipment and Leasehold Improvements | ||
Equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost. Major improvements to equipment are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Depreciation and amortization are provided over the lesser of the estimated useful lives of the various assets or the lease term, if applicable, using the straight-line method. | ||
Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill | ||
Long-lived assets, including fixed assets and intangible assets (other than goodwill), are continually monitored and are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of any such asset may not be recoverable. The determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of an asset and its eventual disposition. If an impairment is identified, the related asset would be written down to its estimated fair value. | ||
Pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually or when a possible impairment is indicated. Management has evaluated its long-lived assets and goodwill and has not identified any impairment as of October 31, 2005. |

Revenue Recognition | ||
Revenues are recognized upon the transfer of title and risk of ownership to customers. The Company records an accrual for estimated returns and cash discounts at the time of product shipment based on historical experience. | ||
In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 01-09,Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of the Vendor’s Products), the Company classifies sales rebates and promotional allowances as a reduction of revenues or cost of sales. | ||
Warranties | ||
The Company generally provides a one-year limited warranty against manufacturer’s defects on its golf equipment and records an estimate of such warranty costs when revenue is recorded. The Company’s standard warranty requires it to repair or replace the defective product returned to the Company during such warranty period. In estimating its future warranty obligations, the Company considers various factors, including it’s warranty policies and practices, the historical frequency of claims and the cost to replace or repair the products under warranty. The following table provides a reconciliation of the activity related to the Company’s reserve for warranty expense, which is included in other accrued expenses in the accompanying balance sheet as of July 31, 2006: |

Ending balance, July 31, 2006 | $ | 360 | ||
Income Taxes | ||
The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109,Accounting for Income Taxes. This statement requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. The measurement of the deferred items is based on enacted tax laws. In the event the future consequences of differences between financial reporting bases and the tax bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities result in a deferred tax asset, SFAS No. 109 requires an evaluation of the probability of being able to realize the future benefits indicated by such asset. A valuation allowance related to a deferred tax asset is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. | ||
Advertising Costs | ||
The Company advertises primarily through television and print media. Adverting costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense for the nine months ended July 31, 2006 was approximately $5.3 million. | ||
Research and Development | ||
The Company engages in research and development activities to enable it to design and launch new products in response to changing demand and to meet market expectations. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Included in selling, general, and administrative expenses are research and development costs of approximately $2.6 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2006. |

Use of Estimates | ||
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 year. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates. | ||
Derivative Financial Instruments | ||
The Company uses derivative financial instruments in the management of its interest rate exposure on long-term debt. The Company does not hold such instruments for trading purposes, and the counterparties to these instruments are major financial institutions. The Company accounts for its derivative financial instruments in accordance with SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. SFAS No. 133, as amended, requires the recognition of all derivatives in the balance sheet as either an asset or a liability measured at fair value. The statement also requires a company to recognize changes in the derivative’s fair value currently in earnings, unless it meets specific hedge accounting criteria. If the derivative is designated as a cash-flow hedge, the effective portions of changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in other comprehensive income. Changes in the fair value of this derivative are recorded, net of tax, in other comprehensive income. There were no derivative instruments outstanding at July 31, 2006. | ||
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | ||
The carrying value of the Company’s trade accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates their fair value due to their short-term nature. The carrying value of the Company’s lines of credit and long-term debt approximates their fair value as these borrowings consist primarily of a series of short-term notes at floating interest rates. | ||
2. | New Accounting Pronouncements | |
In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 151, “Inventory Costs an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4”. SFAS No. 151 clarifies that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted materials (spoilage) should be recognized as current-period charges and requires the allocation of fixed production overheads to inventory based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. SFAS No. 151 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS No. 151 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operation or cash flows. | ||
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections,” which replaces APB Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes,” and SFAS No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements.” SFAS No. 154 applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principles and requires retrospective application (a term defined by the statement) to prior periods’ financial statements, unless it is impracticable to determine the effect of a change. It also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement that does not include specific transition provisions. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 154 in the first quarter of fiscal 2007, but does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 154 to have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. | ||
In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). This interpretation clarifies the application of SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” by defining criteria that an individual tax position must meet for any part of the benefit of that position to be recognized in an |

FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company expects to adopt FIN 48 on November 1, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the impact the adoption of FIN 48 will have on its financial position and results of operations. | ||

The Credit Facility bears interest based on either LIBOR or an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin. The margin on the LIBOR rate is based on the Parent’s fixed charge coverage ratio. The Credit Facility includes a $100 million sub limit for letters of credit and a $50 million sub limit for borrowings in certain foreign currencies. The borrowing base is limited to certain percentages of the eligible accounts receivable and inventory from participating subsidiaries of the Parent, including the Company. The Credit Facility contains customary restrictive covenants for facilities and transactions of this type, including, among others, certain limitations on: incurrence of additional debt and guarantees of indebtedness; creation of liens; mergers, consolidations or sales of substantially all of the Parent’s assets; sales or other dispositions of assets; distributions or dividends and repurchases of the Parent’s common stock; restricted payments, including without limitation, certain restricted investments; engaging in transactions with non-participating subsidiaries of the Parent and; sales and leaseback transactions.

10. | Commitments and Contingencies | |
The Company leases a distribution and manufacturing facility and certain transportation and office equipment under operating lease agreements. In September 2003, the Company entered into a 10-year operating lease for a new facility that the Company occupied in December 2004. Rental expense includes the impact of fixed rent increases on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease. The Company has also entered into sponsorship agreements with certain professional golfers to promote the Company’s products. The sponsorship agreements generally run for one to four years and include minimum annual payments, plus bonus payments for tournament performance, player rankings, and other factors. It is not possible to determine the amounts the Company will ultimately be required to pay under these agreements, as they are subject to many variables, including performance-based bonuses, reductions in payment obligations if designated minimum performance criteria are not achieved, and severance agreements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Unless the context indicates otherwise, when we refer to “Quiksilver”, “we”, “us”, “our”, or the “Company” in this Form 10-Q, we are referring to Quiksilver, Inc. and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. You should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report. The information contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q is not a complete description of our business or the risks associated with an investment in our securities. We urge you to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report and in our other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2005 and subsequent reports on Form 8-K, which discuss our business in greater detail. The section entitled “Risk Factors” set forth in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, and similar discussions in our other SEC filings, discuss some of the important risk factors that may affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. You should carefully consider those risks, in addition to the information in this report and in our other filings with the SEC, before deciding to purchase, hold or sell our securities.
We began operations in 1976 as a California company making boardshorts for surfers in the United States under a license agreement with theQuiksilverbrand founders in Australia. Our product offering expanded in the 1980s as we grew our distribution channels. After going public in 1986 and purchasing the rights to theQuiksilverbrand in the United States from our Australian licensor, we further expanded our product offerings and began to diversify. In the early 1990s, we acquired the European licensee ofQuiksilverand introducedRoxy, our surf brand for teenage girls. We also expanded demographically in the 1990s by adding products for boys, girls, toddlers and men, and we introduced our proprietary retail store concept, Boardriders Clubs, which displays the heritage and products ofQuiksilverandRoxy. In 2000, we acquired the internationalQuiksilver andRoxytrademarks, and in 2002, we acquired our licensees in Australia and Japan. In May 2004, we acquired DC Shoes to expand our presence in action sports-inspired footwear.
In July 2005, we acquired Skis Rossignol, S.A., a wintersports and golf equipment manufacturer. Rossignol offers a full range of wintersports equipment under theRossignol,Dynastar,Lange,Look andKermabrands, and also sells golf products under theCleveland GolfandNever Compromise brands. The acquisition was effective July 31, 2005 and we have included the operations of Rossignol in our results since August 1, 2005. In July 2005, we issued $400 million in senior notes that bear a coupon interest rate of 6.875% and are due April 15, 2015. These senior notes were used to fund a portion of the Rossignol purchase price and to refinance certain existing indebtedness.
Over the past 35 years,Quiksilverhas been established as a leading global brand representing the casual, youth lifestyle associated with boardriding sports. With our acquisition of Rossignol, we have added a collection of leading ski equipment brands to our company that we believe will be the foundation for a full range of technical ski apparel, sportswear and accessories. Also, as part of our acquisition of Rossignol, we acquired a majority interest in Roger Cleveland Golf Company, Inc., a leading producer of wedges and golf clubs in the United States.
We believe that our acquisition of Rossignol provides us with multiple authentic brands in both snow and golf. We believe that Rossignol’s technical knowledge, combined with our current lifestyle brands, will enable us to produce and market apparel, equipment, footwear, accessories and related products for consumers in a broad cross section of the outdoor market. Furthermore, we believe the combination of our existing global expertise in branded apparel and footwear, along with Rossignol’s expertise in branded wintersports equipment, provide us with a diversified platform for continued growth and enhanced operating efficiencies. Our products are sold throughout the world, primarily in surf shops, ski shops, snow shops, skate shops and specialty stores.
Our acquisition of Rossignol has had, and is expected to continue to have a significant impact on our financial results. Our revenues and expenses have increased substantially. Also, our overall profit margins have been negatively impacted because Rossignol has historically generated lower profit margins than we have, and this trend is expected to continue in the foreseeable future. In addition, Rossignol’s business has historically been seasonal, with revenues and operating profits generally higher in August through December, which will affect our consolidated quarterly results. We are substantially more leveraged as a result of the debt incurred in connection with the acquisition, and we have an increased amount of capital committed to manufacturing functions.

We operate in the outdoor market of the sporting goods industry in which we design, produce and distribute branded apparel, wintersports and golf equipment, footwear, accessories and related products. We operate in three segments, the Americas, Europe and Asia/Pacific. The Americas segment includes revenues primarily from the U.S. and Canada. The European segment includes revenues primarily from Western Europe. The Asia/Pacific segment includes revenues primarily from Australia, Japan, New Zealand and Indonesia.
We operate in markets that are highly competitive, and our ability to evaluate and respond to changing consumer demands and tastes is critical to our success. If we are unable to remain competitive and maintain our consumer loyalty, our business will be negatively affected. We believe that our historical success is due to the development of an experienced team of designers, artists, sponsored athletes, engineers, technicians, researchers, merchandisers, pattern makers, and contractors. Our team and the heritage and current strength of our brands has helped us remain competitive in our markets. Our success in the future will depend on our ability to continue to design products that are acceptable to the marketplace and competitive in the areas of quality, brand image, technical specifications, distribution methods, price, customer service, and intellectual property protection.

EBITDA is not defined under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and it may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We use EBITDA, along with other GAAP measures, as a measure of profitability because EBITDA helps us to compare our performance on a consistent basis by removing from our operating results the impact of our capital structure, the effect of operating in different tax jurisdictions, the impact of our asset base, which can differ depending on the book value of assets and the accounting methods used to compute depreciation and amortization, and the effect of non-cash stock based compensation expense. We believe it is useful to investors for the same reasons. EBITDA has limitations as a profitability measure in that it does not include the interest expense on our debts, our provisions for income taxes, the effect of our expenditures for capital assets and certain intangible assets and the effect of non-cash compensation expense.

Three Months Ended July 31, 2006 Compared to Three Months Ended July 31, 2005
Our total net revenues for the three months ended July 31, 2006 increased 41% to $525.8 million from $373.8 million in the comparable period of the prior year. Revenue from our Rossignol and Cleveland Golf businesses, which were acquired on July 31, 2005, totaled $76.8 million for the three months ended July 31, 2006. Revenues in the Americas increased 41% to $277.4 million for the three months ended July 31, 2006 from $196.3 million in the comparable period of the prior year, and European revenues increased 43% to $191.0 million from $133.6 million for those same periods. As measured in euros, Quiksilver Europe’s primary functional currency, revenues in the current year’s quarter increased 38% compared to the prior year. Asia/Pacific revenues increased 31% to $56.3 million in the three months ended July 31, 2006 from $43.1 million in the comparable period of the prior year. In Australian dollars, Quiksilver Asia/Pacific’s primary functional currency, Asia/Pacific revenues increased 32% from the comparable period of the prior year.
In the Americas, revenues in our men’s category, which includes the Quiksilver Young Men’s, Boys, Toddlers, Quiksilveredition, Hawk and DC brands, increased 17% to $125.0 million from $106.8 million in the comparable period of the prior year, while revenues in our women’s category, which includes the Roxy, Roxy Girl, Teenie Wahine, DC, Raisins, Leilani and Radio Fiji brands, increased 24% to $108.5 million from $87.8 million. Revenues from our wintersports and golf equipment brands which include Rossignol, Dynastar, Look, Lange, Kerma, Cleveland Golf, Never Compromise, Lib Technologies, Gnu, Bent Metal and Roxy equipment, totaled $43.9 million for the current year’s quarter compared to $1.7 million in the prior year. The increase in Americas’ men’s revenues came primarily from the DC and Quiksilver brands partially offset by a decrease in our Hawk revenue which no longer generates product revenue after our license agreement of such brand with a third party. The increase in Americas’ women’s revenues came primarily from the Roxy and DC brands slightly offset by the discontinuation of our private label swimwear product line. The increase in wintersports and golf equipment revenue came primarily from the newly acquired Rossignol and Cleveland Golf businesses. In Europe and as reported in dollars, men’s revenues increased 16% to $107.7 million from $92.9 million, while women’s revenues increased 30% to $52.9 million from $40.7 million. Our European wintersports and golf equipment revenue of $30.4 million came from our newly acquired Rossignol and Cleveland Golf businesses. The European men’s revenue increase came primarily from growth in the Quiksilver brand and to a lesser extent the DC brand. The European women’s revenue increase reflects growth in the Roxy brand. As measured in euros, European men’s revenues increased 12% and women’s revenues increased 26%. The increase in Asia/Pacific revenues also came primarily from growth in the Roxy and Quiksilver brands.
Our consolidated gross profit margin for the three months ended July 31, 2006 increased to 47.3% from 46.8% in the comparable period of the prior year. The Americas’ gross profit margin increased to 42.9% from 40.1%, while the European gross profit margin decreased to 53.1% from 55.0%, and the Asia/Pacific gross profit margin decreased to 49.2% from 51.7% for those same periods. The increase in the Americas’ gross profit margin was primarily due to lower production costs and improved margins in our DC brand. Our European gross profit margin decrease was primarily due to sales from our lower margin wintersports business, partially offset by improved margins in our Quiksilver, Roxy and DC brand businesses. In Asia/Pacific, the gross profit margin decrease was primarily due to sales from our lower margin wintersports and golf equipment businesses and lower margins on our apparel brands in Australia.
Selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A”) for the three months ended July 31, 2006 increased 71% to $228.8 million from $133.6 million in the comparable period of the prior year. Americas’ SG&A increased 54% to $86.2 million from $55.9 million, while European SG&A increased 95% to $105.8 million from $54.3 million, and Asia/Pacific SG&A increased 44% to $23.7 million from $16.5 million for those same periods. As a percentage of revenues, SG&A increased to 43.5% for the three months ended July 31, 2006 from 35.7% for the three months ended July 31, 2005.
The consolidated increase in SG&A as a percentage of revenue was primarily caused by our newly acquired wintersports equipment business. This business has a seasonally low shipping period during the three months ended July 31, 2006, causing the ratio of SG&A to revenue to be negatively impacted. The consolidated increase in SG&A as a percentage of revenue also increased due to $4.7 million in stock based compensation expense recorded in the current period as a result of adopting SFAS No. 123(R) and the cost of additional retail stores.
Interest expense for the three months ended July 31, 2006 increased to $11.9 million from $5.5 million in the three months ended July 31, 2005. This increase was primarily due to debt incurred and assumed in connection with the acquisition of Rossignol.

Our foreign currency loss amounted to $0.4 million for the three months ended July, 31, 2006 compared to a gain of $0.4 million in the comparable period of the prior year. This loss resulted primarily from the foreign currency contracts that we used to hedge the risk of translating the results of our international subsidiaries into U.S. dollars.
The effective income tax rate for the three months ended July 31, 2006 was 25.8% compared to 31.6% for the three months ended July 31, 2005. Our effective income tax rate for the nine months ended July 31, 2006 is 29.3%, which is lower than the prior year’s annual rate because a higher percentage of our 2006 profits are expected to be generated in countries with lower tax rates and from foreign tax credits.
Net income for the three months ended July 31, 2006 was $5.3 million or $0.04 per share on a diluted basis compared to $24.6 million or $0.20 per share on a diluted basis in the comparable period of the prior year. Basic net income per share was $0.04 per share for the three months ended July 31, 2006 compared to $0.21 in the comparable period of the prior year. EBITDA decreased 20% to $40.0 million from $50.1 million for those same periods.
Nine Months Ended July 31, 2006 Compared to Nine Months Ended July 31, 2005
Our total net revenues for the nine months ended July 31, 2006 increased 39% to $1,583.9 million from $1,143.5 million in the comparable period of the prior year. Our revenue from the Rossignol and Cleveland Golf businesses, which were acquired on July 31, 2005, totaled $354.7 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2006. Revenues in the Americas increased 35% to $748.2 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2006 from $554.7 million in the comparable period of the prior year, and European revenues increased 51% to $669.3 million from $442.4 million for those same periods. As measured in euros, European revenues in the first nine months of the current year increased 60% as compared to the prior year. Asia/Pacific revenues increased 13% to $162.9 million in the nine months ended July 31, 2006 compared to $143.9 million in the comparable period of the prior year. In Australian dollars, Asia/Pacific revenues increased 17% compared to the prior year.
In the Americas, revenues in our men’s category increased 11% to $308.8 million from $277.2 million in the comparable period of the prior year, while revenues in our women’s category increased 7% to $292.4 million from $274.1 million. Revenues from our wintersports and golf brands totaled $147.0 million during the current year’s nine-month period compared to revenues of $3.4 million in the comparable period of the prior year. The increase in Americas’ men’s revenues came primarily from an increase in the DC brand and, to a lesser extent, the Quiksilver brand. The increase in Americas’ women’s revenues came primarily from growth in the Roxy and DC brands, which was partially offset by a decrease in revenue due to the discontinuation of our private label swimwear product line. The increase in wintersports and golf equipment revenue came primarily from the newly acquired Rossignol and Cleveland Golf businesses. In Europe and as reported in dollars, men’s revenues increased 3% to $315.5 million from $305.0 million, while women’s revenues increased 19% to $163.0 million from $137.4 million. Our European wintersports and golf equipment revenue of $190.9 million came from our newly acquired Rossignol and Cleveland Golf businesses. The European men’s increase was primarily due to growth in the Quiksilver and DC brands which was partially offset by the negative effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. As measured in euros, European men’s revenue increased 9%. The women’s increase reflects growth in the Roxy brand partially offset by the negative effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. As measured in euros, women’s revenues increased 25%. In Asia/Pacific, the increase in revenues came primarily from the newly acquired Rossignol and Cleveland Golf businesses and to a lesser extent, increases in our other brand revenue, partially offset by the negative effects of foreign currency exchange rates.
Our consolidated gross profit margin for the nine months ended July 31, 2006 increased to 46.2% from 45.6% in the comparable period of the prior year. The Americas’ gross profit margin increased to 41.4% from 39.3%, while the European gross profit margin decreased to 51.5% from 51.9%, and the Asia/Pacific gross profit margin decreased to 46.4% from 50.1% for those same periods. The increase in Americas’ gross profit margin was primarily due to lower production costs and improved margins in our DC brand, and a higher percentage of sales through company owned retail stores where we earn both the wholesale and retail margins, partially offset by higher sales from our wintersports and golf equipment businesses. Our European gross profit margin decrease was primarily due to sales from our lower margin wintersports and golf equipment businesses partially offset by a higher percentage of sales through company owned retail stores. In Asia/Pacific, the gross profit margin decrease was primarily due to sales from our lower margin wintersports and golf equipment businesses and lower margins on our other brands, partially offset by a higher percentage of sales through company-owned retail stores.

SG&A for the nine months ended July 31, 2006 increased 63% to $656.0 million from $402.4 million in the comparable period of the prior year. Americas’ SG&A increased 54% to $251.5 million from $162.9 million, while European SG&A increased 81% to $293.5 million from $161.9 million, and Asia/Pacific SG&A increased 35% to $70.9 million from $52.6 million for those same periods. As a percentage of revenues, SG&A increased to 41.4% for the nine months ended July 31, 2006 from 35.2% for the nine months ended July 31, 2005.
The consolidated increase in SG&A as a percentage of revenue was primarily due to increased SG&A expenses from our newly acquired wintersports equipment business. Our wintersports equipment business has a seasonally low shipping period during the six months ended July 31, 2006, causing the ratio of SG&A to revenue to be negatively impacted. The consolidated increase in SG&A as a percentage of revenue also increased due to $16.1 million in stock based compensation recorded in the current period as a result of adopting SFAS No. 123(R) on November 1, 2005 and the cost of additional retail stores.
Interest expense for the nine months ended July 31, 2006 increased to $36.4 million from $10.5 million in the comparable period of the prior year. This increase was primarily due to debt incurred and assumed in connection with the acquisition of Rossignol.
Our foreign currency gain amounted to $0.6 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2006 compared to a gain of $0.2 million in the comparable period of the prior year. This current period gain resulted primarily from the foreign currency contracts that we used to hedge the risk of translating the results of our international subsidiaries into U.S. dollars.
The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended July 31, 2006 decreased to 29.3% from 32.0% in the comparable period of the prior year. This improvement resulted primarily because a higher percentage of our 2006 profits are expected to be generated in countries with lower tax rates and from foreign tax credits.
Net income for the nine months ended July 31, 2006 was $27.7 million or $0.22 per share on a diluted basis compared to $73.5 million or $0.59 per share on a diluted basis in the comparable period of the prior year. Basic net income per share was $0.23 per share for the nine months ended July 31, 2006 compared to $0.62 per share in the comparable period of the prior year. EBITDA decreased 3% to $139.2 million from $143.9 million for those same periods.
Financial Position, Capital Resources and Liquidity
We generally finance our working capital needs and capital investments with operating cash flows and bank revolving lines of credit. Multiple banks in the United States, Europe and Australia make these lines of credit available to us. Term loans are also used to supplement these lines of credit and are typically used to finance long-term assets. In fiscal 2005, we issued $400 million in Senior Notes, primarily to fund a portion of the acquisition of Rossignol and to refinance certain existing indebtedness.
The net increase in cash and cash equivalents for the nine months ended July 31, 2006 was $8.7 million compared to $104.7 million in the comparable period of the prior year. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $84.3 million at July 31, 2006 compared to $75.6 million at October 31, 2005, while working capital was $466.5 million at July 31, 2006 compared to $458.9 million at October 31, 2005. We believe our current cash balance and current lines of credit are adequate to cover our seasonal working capital and other requirements for the foreseeable future, and that increases in our lines of credit can be obtained as needed to fund future growth.
Cash Flows
We generated $53.7 million of cash from operating activities in the nine months ended July 31, 2006 compared to $53.8 in the comparable period of the prior year. During the nine months ended July 31, 2006, the decrease in accounts receivable provided cash of $109.4 million compared to cash used of $61.9 million during the nine months ended July 31, 2005, an increase in cash provided of $171.3 million. The change in inventories, net of the change in accounts payable used cash of $90.8 million during the nine months ended July 31, 2006 compared to cash provided of $8.0 million for the same period of the
37
Table of Contents
prior year, a net decrease in cash provided of $98.8 million. An additional $72.6 million was used during the nine months ended July 31, 2006 compared to the comparable period of the prior year primarily due to changes in other operating assets and liabilities.
Capital expenditures totaled $61.3 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2006, compared to the $45.1 million in the comparable period of the prior year. These investments include company-owned retail stores and ongoing investments in manufacturing, computer and warehouse equipment. We used $34.8 million of cash for acquisitions, of which $5.8 million relates to a payment to the former owners of our Asia/Pacific business, $5.0 million relates to a payment to the former owners of DC Shoes, Inc., and the remaining $24.0 million relates primarily to acquisitions of certain other licensees, distributors and retail store locations.
During the nine months ended July 31, 2006, net cash provided by financing activities totaled $50.8 million, compared to $279.3 million provided in the comparable period of the prior year. The borrowings in the prior year’s period primarily relate to the issuance of our Senior Notes for net proceeds of $389 million. We used a majority of the proceeds from these notes to fund a portion of the Rossignol acquisition and the balance to refinance a portion of our existing debt.
Commitments
We paid $5.8 million related to the achievement of certain sales and earnings targets to the former owners of our Asia/Pacific business during the nine months ended July 31, 2006. This amount represents the final payment related to this acquisition. In addition, we paid $5.0 million related to the achievement of certain sales and earnings targets to the former owners of DC Shoes, Inc.
In connection with the acquisition of Rossignol, we have formulated the Rossignol Integration Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan covers the global operations of Rossignol and our existing businesses, and it includes the evaluation of facility relocations, nonstrategic business activities, redundant functions and other related items. As of July 31, 2006 we had recognized $65.3 million of liabilities related to the Plan, including employee relocation and severance costs, moving costs, and other costs related primarily to the consolidation of Rossignol’s administrative headquarters in Europe, the consolidation of Rossignol’s European distribution, the consolidation and realignment of certain European manufacturing facilities, and the relocation of our wintersports equipment sales and distribution operations in the United States. As of July 31, 2006, we have paid approximately $11.8 million related to these integration activities. If we have overestimated our integration costs, the excess will reduce goodwill in future periods. Conversely, if we have underestimated these costs, additional liabilities recognized will be recorded in earnings. Costs that are not associated with Rossignol but relate to activities or employees of our existing operations are not significant and are charged to earnings. Certain facilities owned by Rossignol are expected to be sold in connection with the Plan, while others are anticipated to be refinanced through sale-leaseback arrangements. Assets currently held for sale, primarily in the United States and France, totaled approximately $23.3 million at July 31, 2006.
Trade Accounts Receivable and Inventories
Accounts receivable decreased 18% to $492.4 million at July 31, 2006 from $599.5 million at October 31, 2005. Accounts receivable in the Americas decreased 14% to $233.6 million from $273.0 million, European accounts receivable decreased 20% to $212.0 million from $263.8 million, and Asia/Pacific accounts receivable decreased 25% to $46.8 million from $62.7 million for those same periods. Compared to July 31, 2005, accounts receivable in the Americas increased 25%, European accounts receivable increased 9% and Asia/Pacific accounts receivable remained consistent. Included in accounts receivable is approximately $29.8 million of Value Added Tax and Goods and Services Tax related to foreign accounts receivable. Such taxes are not reported as net revenues and as such, must be accounted for to accurately compute days sales outstanding. Overall average days sales outstanding increased by approximately 4 days at July 31, 2006 compared to July 31, 2005. Of this increase, 8 days related to our wintersports and golf equipment businesses, offset by a 4 day improvement relating to our other businesses.
Consolidated inventories increased 34% to $516.4 million at July 31, 2006 from $386.4 million at October 31, 2005. Inventories in the Americas increased 27% to $208.6 million from $164.4 million, while European inventories increased 42% to $250.8 million from $176.9 million, and Asia/Pacific inventories increased 26% to $56.9 million from $45.1 million for those same periods. Consolidated inventories increased 18% compared to July 31, 2005. Inventories in the Americas and Asia/Pacific increased 40% and 51%, respectively, from the year earlier, while European inventories remained consistent for those same periods. Consolidated average inventory turnover was approximately 3.5 at July 31, 2006 compared to 4.0 at July 31, 2005.

Critical Accounting Policies
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. To prepare these financial statements, we must make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. These estimates also affect our reported revenues and expenses. Judgments must also be made about the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Actual results could be significantly different from these estimates. We believe that the following discussion addresses the accounting policies that are necessary to understand and evaluate our reported financial results.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues are recognized when the risk of ownership and title passes to our customers. Generally, we extend credit to our customers and do not require collateral. None of our sales agreements with any of our customers provide for any rights of return. However, we do approve returns on a case-by-case basis at our sole discretion to protect our brands and our image. We provide allowances for estimated returns when revenues are recorded, and related losses have historically been within our expectations. If returns are higher than our estimates, our earnings would be adversely affected.
Accounts Receivable
It is not uncommon for some of our customers to have financial difficulties from time to time. This is normal given the wide variety of our account base, which includes small surf shops, medium-sized retail chains, and some large department store chains. Throughout the year, we perform credit evaluations of our customers, and we adjust credit limits based on payment history and the customer’s current creditworthiness. We continuously monitor our collections and maintain a reserve for estimated credit losses based on our historical experience and any specific customer collection issues that have been identified. Historically, our losses have been consistent with our estimates, but there can be no assurance that we will continue to experience the same credit loss rates that we have experienced in the past. Unforeseen, material financial difficulties of our customers could have an adverse impact on our profits.
Inventories
We value inventories at the cost to purchase and/or manufacture the product or the current estimated market value of the inventory, whichever is lower. We regularly review our inventory quantities on hand, and adjust inventory values for excess and obsolete inventory based primarily on estimated forecasts of product demand and market value. Demand for our products could fluctuate significantly. The demand for our products could be negatively affected by many factors, including the following:
• | weakening economic conditions; | |
• | terrorist acts or threats; | |
• | unanticipated changes in consumer preferences; | |
• | reduced customer confidence in the retail market; and | |
• | unseasonable weather. |
Some of these factors could also interrupt the production and/or importation of our products or otherwise increase the cost of our products. As a result, our operations and financial performance could be negatively affected. Additionally, our estimates of product demand and/or market value could be inaccurate, which could result in an understated or overstated provision required for excess and obsolete inventory.

Long-Lived Assets
We acquire tangible and intangible assets in the normal course of our business. We evaluate the recoverability of the carrying amount of these long-lived assets (including fixed assets, trademarks licenses and other amortizable intangibles) whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when the carrying value exceeds the undiscounted future cash flows estimated to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. Impairments, if any, would be recognized in operating earnings. We continually use judgment when applying these impairment rules to determine the timing of the impairment tests, the undiscounted cash flows used to assess impairments, and the fair value of a potentially impaired asset. The reasonableness of our judgment could significantly affect the carrying value of our long-lived assets.
Goodwill
We evaluate the recoverability of goodwill at least annually based on a two-step impairment test. The first step compares the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying amount including goodwill. If the carrying amount exceeds fair value, then the second step of the impairment test is performed to measure the amount of any impairment loss. Fair value is computed based on estimated future cash flows discounted at a rate that approximates our cost of capital. Such estimates are subject to change, and we may be required to recognize impairment losses in the future.
Income Taxes
Current income tax expense is the amount of income taxes expected to be payable for the current year. A deferred income tax asset or liability is established for the expected future consequences of temporary differences in the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. We consider future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the value of our deferred tax assets. If we determine that it is more likely than not that these assets will not be realized, we would reduce the value of these assets to their expected realizable value, thereby decreasing net income. Evaluating the value of these assets is necessarily based on our judgment. If we subsequently determined that the deferred tax assets, which had been written down would, in our judgment, be realized in the future, the value of the deferred tax assets would be increased, thereby increasing net income in the period when that determination was made.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense
Effective November 1, 2005, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123(R), using the modified prospective transition method, and therefore have not restated prior periods’ results. Under this method we recognize compensation expense for all stock-based payments granted after November 1, 2005 and prior to but not yet vested as of November 1, 2005, in accordance with SFAS 123(R). Under the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123(R), we recognize stock-based compensation net of an estimated forfeiture rate and only recognize compensation cost for those shares expected to vest using the graded vested method over the requisite service period of the award. Prior to SFAS 123(R) adoption, we accounted for stock-based payments under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”) and accordingly, we were not required to recognize compensation expense for options granted that had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.
Determining the appropriate fair value model and calculating the fair value of stock-based payment awards require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected life of the stock-based payment awards and stock price volatility. We use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value compensation expense. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based payment awards represent management’s best estimates, but the estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if factors change and we use different assumptions, our stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. See Note 3 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for a further discussion on stock-based compensation.
Foreign Currency Translation
A significant portion of our revenues are generated in Europe, where we operate with the euro as our functional currency, and a smaller portion of our revenues are generated in Asia/Pacific, where we operate with the Australian dollar and Japanese Yen as our functional currencies. Our European revenues in the United Kingdom are denominated in British pounds, and some European and Asia/Pacific product is sourced in U.S. dollars, both of which result in exposure to gains and losses that could occur from
40
Table of Contents
fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. Our assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated using the average exchange rate for the period. Gains and losses from translation of foreign subsidiary financial statements are included in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss.
As part of our overall strategy to manage our level of exposure to the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, we enter into various foreign exchange contracts generally in the form of forward contracts. For all contracts that qualify as cash flow hedges, we record the changes in the fair value of the derivatives in other comprehensive income. We also use other derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting to mitigate our exposure to currency risks. These derivatives are marked to fair value with corresponding gains or losses recorded in earnings.
New Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2 — New Accounting Pronouncements for a discussion of future pronouncements that may affect our financial reporting.
Forward-Looking Statements
All statements included in this report, other than statements or characterizations of historical fact, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the trends and uncertainties in our financial condition and results of operations. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry, management’s beliefs, and certain assumptions made by us and speak only as of the date of this report. Forward-looking statements can often be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “predicts,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “potential,” “continue,” “ongoing,” and similar expressions, and variations or negatives of these words. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, projections, guidance, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future results and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, our actual results could differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statement as a result of various factors, including, but not limited to, the following:
• | our ability to achieve the financial results that we anticipate, or have experienced in the past; | |
• | our ability to fully realize the benefits we anticipate from our acquisition of Rossignol; | |
• | the impact of our substantial leverage on our ability to generate cash flows or obtain financing to fund our anticipated growth strategies and the cost of such financing; | |
• | our plans to expand internationally; | |
• | our intention to introduce new products and enter into new joint ventures; | |
• | our plans to open new retail stores; | |
• | payments due on contractual commitments; | |
• | future expenditures for capital projects; | |
• | our ability to continue to maintain our brand image and reputation; | |
• | our ability to remain compliant with our debt covenants; | |
• | integration of acquired businesses and future acquisitions; | |
• | general economic and business conditions; | |
• | foreign exchange rate fluctuations; and | |
• | changes in political, social and economic conditions and local regulations, particularly in Europe and Asia. |
Given these uncertainties, investors are cautioned not to place too much weight on such forward looking statements. We are not obligated to update these forward-looking statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Foreign Currency
We are exposed to financial statement gains and losses as a result of translating the operating results and financial position of our international subsidiaries. We translate the local currency statements of income of our foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars using the average exchange rate during the reporting period. Changes in foreign exchange rates affect our reported profits and distort comparisons from period to period. By way of example, when the U.S. dollar strengthens compared to the euro, there is a negative effect on our reported results for Quiksilver Europe because it takes more profits in euros to generate the same amount of profits in stronger U.S. dollars. In addition, the statements of income of Quiksilver Asia/Pacific are translated from Australian dollars and Japanese yen into U.S. dollars, and there is a negative effect on our reported results for Quiksilver Asia/Pacific when the U.S. dollar is stronger in comparison to Australian dollar or Japanese yen.
European revenues increased 60% in euros during the nine months ended July 31, 2006 compared to the nine months ended July 31, 2005. As measured in U.S. dollars and reported in our consolidated statements of income, European revenues increased 51% as a result of a stronger U.S. dollar versus the euro in comparison to the prior year.
Asia/Pacific revenues increased 17% in Australian dollars during the nine months ended July 31, 2006 compared to the nine months ended July 31, 2005. As measured in U.S. dollars and reported in our consolidated statements of income, Asia/Pacific revenues increased 13% as a result of a stronger U.S. dollar versus the Australian dollar in comparison to the prior year.
Our foreign currency and interest rate risks are discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2005 in Item 7A.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
We carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of July 31, 2006, the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of July 31, 2006.
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended July 31, 2006 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
