                           COLUMBIA SPORTSWEAR COMPANY
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)


NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared by the management of Columbia Sportswear Company (the "Company") and in
the opinion of management contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company's financial
position as of March 31, 2000, and the results of operations for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 and cash flows for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 and 1999. It should be understood that accounting measurements at
interim dates inherently involve greater reliance on estimates than at year end.
The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2000 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. It is suggested that these condensed
consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999.

NOTE 4. NET INCOME PER SHARE

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per
Share," requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share
("EPS"). Basic EPS is based on the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if
securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted
into common stock.

There were no adjustments to net income in computing diluted net income per
share for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999. A reconciliation of
the common shares used in the denominator for computing basic and diluted net
income per share is as follows:

NOTE 5. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

As part of the Company's risk management programs, the Company uses or used a
variety of financial instruments, including foreign currency option and forward
exchange contracts. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial
instruments for trading purposes.

Effective April 1, 1999, the Company adopted SFAS No. 133 - "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" which requires that all
derivative financial instruments, such as foreign exchange contracts, be
recognized in the financial statements and measured at fair value regardless of
the purpose or intent for holding them. Changes in the fair value of derivative
financial instruments are either recognized periodically in income or
shareholders' equity (as a component of comprehensive income).

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk Management

The Company uses a combination of foreign currency option and forward exchange
contracts to hedge against the currency risk associated with Japanese yen,
Canadian dollar and European euro denominated, firmly committed and anticipated
transactions for the next twelve months.

The Company accounts for these instruments as cash flow hedges. In accordance
with SFAS No. 133, such financial instruments are marked-to-market with the
offset to shareholders' equity and then subsequently recognized as a component
of gross margin when the underlying transaction is recognized. The Company
measures hedge effectiveness of foreign currency option and forward exchange
contracts based on the forward price of the underlying commodity. Hedge
ineffectiveness was not material during the quarter ended March 31, 2000.

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

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

The statements in this report concerning certain expected future expenses as a
percentage of net sales, future financing and working capital requirements and
the impact of euro implementation on our business constitute forward - looking
statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Many factors could cause
actual results to differ materially from those projected in such forward looking
statements, including risks described in our annual report on form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1999 under the heading "Factors That May Affect Our
Business". Factors that could adversely affect selling, general and
administrative expense as a percentage of net sales include, but are not limited
to, increased competitive factors (including increased competition, new product
offerings by competitors and price pressures), unfavorable seasonal differences
in sales volume, changes in consumer preferences, as well as an inability to
increase sales to department stores or to open and operate new concept shops on
favorable terms. Other factors could include a failure to manage growth
effectively and unavailability of independent manufacturing, labor or supplies
at reasonable prices. In addition, unfavorable business conditions, disruptions
in the outerwear, sportswear and rugged footwear industries or changes in the
general economy could have adverse effects. Factors that could materially affect
future financing requirements include, but are not limited to, the ability to
obtain additional financing on acceptable terms. Factors that could materially
affect future working capital requirements include, but are not limited to, the
industry factors and general business conditions noted above.

Results of Operations

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, selected income
statement data expressed as a percentage of net sales.

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999

NET SALES: Net sales increased 21.5% to $108.4 million for the three month
period ended March 31, 2000 from $89.2 million for the comparable period in
1999. Domestic sales increased 8.8% to $68.9 million for the three month period
ended March 31, 2000 from $63.3 million for the comparable period in 1999. Net
international sales, excluding Canada, increased 55.6% to $29.1 million for the
three month period ended March 31, 2000 from $18.7 million for the comparable
period in 1999. Canadian sales increased 44.4% to $10.4 million for the three
month period ended March 31, 2000 from $7.2 million for the same period in 1999.
These increases were primarily attributable to increased sales of spring
sportswear units across all regions and increased sales of footwear units
primarily in Europe and Canada.

GROSS PROFIT: Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 42.9% for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 compared to 36.6% for the comparable period in 1999.
The increase in gross margin was due primarily to decreased sales of fall
close-out products and a higher percentage of net international sales, excluding
Canada, during the three months ended March 31, 2000 which generally carry a
higher gross margin.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE: Selling, general, and
administrative expense increased 27.8% to $40.4 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2000 from $31.6 million for the comparable period in 1999,
primarily as a result of an increase in variable selling and operating expenses
to support the higher level of sales. As a percentage of sales, selling,
general, and administrative expenses increased to 37.2% for the three months
ended March 31, 2000 from 35.4% for the comparable period in 1999, primarily as
a result of an increase in depreciation expense related to our distribution
center. We believe that in the longer term we will be able to leverage selling,
general, and administrative expense as a percentage of sales as our
international operations become more established and our sportswear and footwear
sales continue to expand.

INTEREST EXPENSE: Interest expense increased by 9.3% for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 from the comparable period in 1999. This increase was
attributable to a reduction of capitalized interest associated with the
expansion of our distribution center, which was completed in 1999.

SEASONALITY OF BUSINESS

Columbia's business is impacted by the general seasonal trends that are
characteristic of many companies in the outdoor apparel industry in which sales
and profits are highest in the third calendar quarter. Our products are marketed
on a seasonal basis, with a product mix weighted substantially toward the fall
season. Results of operations in any period should not be considered indicative
of the results to be expected for any future period. The sale of our products is
subject to substantial cyclical fluctuation or impact from unseasonal weather
conditions. Sales tend to decline in periods of recession or uncertainty
regarding future economic prospects that affect consumer spending, particularly
on discretionary items. This cyclicality and any related fluctuation in consumer
demand could have a material adverse effect on the our results of operations and
financial condition.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our primary ongoing funding requirements are to finance working capital and
continued growth of the business. At March 31, 2000, we had total cash
equivalents of $27.8 million compared to $14.6 million at March 31, 1999. Cash
provided by operating activities was $23.3 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 and $26.1 million for the comparable period in 1999. This
decrease was primarily due to an increase in inventory required to support
higher sales levels.

Our primary capital requirements are for working capital, investing activities
associated with the expansion of our international operations and general
corporate needs. Net cash used in investing activities was $1.2 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2000 and $4.6 million for the comparable period in
1999.

Cash used in financing activities was $9.2 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 compared to cash used in financing activities of $19.0 million
for the comparable period in 1999. The decrease in net cash used in financing
activities was primarily due to a reduction of repayments of short-term
borrowings as compared to the three months ended March 31, 1999.

To fund our working capital requirements, we have available unsecured revolving
lines of credit with aggregate seasonal limits ranging from approximately $115
to $135 million. As of March 31, 2000, $21.7 million was outstanding under these
lines of credit. Additionally, we maintain credit agreements in order to provide
us with unsecured import lines of credit with a combined limit of approximately
$105 million available for issuing documentary letters of credit.

To finance expansion of our domestic distribution center, we entered into a note
purchase agreement in 1998. Pursuant to the note purchase agreement, we issued
senior promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $25 million,
bearing an interest rate of 6.68% and maturing August 11, 2008. Up to an
additional $15 million in shelf notes may be issued under the note purchase
agreement.

EURO CURRENCY CONVERSION

European Union finance members approved 11 of the 15 member states for
participation in economic and monetary union. On January 1, 1999, the Euro was
adopted as the national currency of the participating countries - Austria,
Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands,
Portugal and Spain. Initially, the Euro will be used for non-cash transactions.
Legacy currencies of the participating member states will remain legal tender
until January 1, 2002. On this date, Euro-denominated bills and coins will be
issued for use in cash transactions.

The introduction of the Euro is a significant event with potential implications
for our existing operations within the participating countries. As such, we have
committed resources to conduct risk assessments and to take corrective actions,
where required, to ensure that we are prepared for the introduction of the Euro.
We are undertaking a review of the Euro implementation both in participating and
non-participating countries where we have operations. Progress regarding Euro
implementation is reported periodically to management.

We have not experienced any significant operational disruptions to date and do
not expect the continued implementation of the Euro to cause any significant
operational disruptions. In addition, we have not incurred and do not expect to
incur any significant costs from the continued implementation of the Euro,
including any additional currency risk, which could materially affect our
liquidity or capital resources.
