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


NOTE 1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying 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 June 30, 1998, and the results of operations for the three months
ended and the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 and cash flows for the six
months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997. 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 and six months
ended June 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
for the full year.

The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's final
prospectus, which forms part of the registration statement on Form S-1 (file no.
333-43199) filed in connection with the Company's initial public offering of
6,440,000 shares (including an over-allotment option of 840,000 shares) of its
Common Stock (the "IPO").

NOTE 2.  INVENTORIES

Inventories consist of the following (in thousands):

                                         June 30, 1998      December 31, 1997

                                      =================     =================


NOTE 3.  INCOME TAXES

The condensed consolidated statement of operations reflects adjustments for
income taxes based upon income before provision for income taxes as if the
Company had been subject to additional federal and state income taxes based upon
an effective tax rate of 40% and 40.8% for the three month period ended March 31
and June 30, 1998, respectively. Net income tax expense for the three months
ended June 30, 1998 was $388,000.

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes" , the Company recorded a net deferred tax asset of
$2,000,000 for cumulative temporary differences between financial statement and
income tax bases of the Company's assets and liabilities by recording a benefit
for such deferred tax assets in its condensed consolidated statement of
operations on March 26, 1998, the termination date of the S corporation (the
"Termination Date"). Such deferred tax assets are based on the cumulative
temporary difference upon the conversion from an S corporation to a C
corporation on the Termination Date.

Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the
amounts used for income tax purposes. During the three months ended June 30,
1998 the Company recorded a net change in these temporary differences of
$2,500,000, resulting in a net deferred tax asset of $4,500,000. The net
deferred tax asset consists of a current asset of $10,200,000 and a non-current
liability of $5,700,000 at June 30, 1998.

NOTE 4.  EARNINGS PER SHARE

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 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 earnings per share
for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997. A reconciliation of the
common shares used in the denominator for computing basic and diluted earnings
per share is as follows:

1997 stock incentive plan and 10,500 non-qualified stock options to the
Company's non-employee directors at an exercise price of $19.625.

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 Year 2000 issue constitute forward - looking statements that are subject to
risks and uncertainties. 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, an inability to
increase sales to department stores or to open and operate new concept shops on
favorable terms, a failure to manage growth effectively (including timely
implementation of the Company's enterprise system and expansion of its
distribution center) and unavailability of independent manufacturing, labor or
supplies at reasonable prices, as well as unfavorable business conditions and
disruptions in the outerwear, sportswear and rugged footwear industries and
general economy. Factors that could materially affect future financing
requirements include, but are not limited to, the ability to obtain additional
financing on acceptable terms and greater than expected S corporation dividends.
Factors that could materially affect future working capital requirements
include, but are not limited to, the industry factors and general business
conditions noted above. Factors that could materially affect the Year 2000 issue
include, but are not limited to, unanticipated costs associated with any
required modifications to the Company's computer systems and associated
software.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended June 30,1998 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30,1997

Net sales: Net sales increased 35.2% to $67.2 million for the three month period
ended June 30, 1998 from $49.7 million for the comparable period in 1997.
Domestic sales increased 34.6% to $55.6 million for the three month period ended
June 30, 1998 from $41.3 million for the comparable period in 1997. Net
international sales, excluding Canada, increased 49.0% to $7.3 million for the
three month period ended June 30, 1998 from $4.9 million for the comparable
period in 1997. Canadian sales grew 23.5% to $4.2 million for the three month
period ended June 30, 1998 from $3.4 million compared to the same period in
1997. These increases were attributable primarily to increased sales of spring
sportswear units and more timely shipments of domestic fall products.

Gross Profit: Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 42.3% for the three
months ended June 30, 1998 compared to 43.5% for the comparable period in 1997.
The decrease in gross margin primarily was due to increased domestic sales of
spring close-out products during the three months ended June 30, 1998.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense: Selling, general, and
administrative expense increased 18.7% to $26.7 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1998 from $22.5 million for the comparable period in 1997,
primarily as a result of an increase in variable selling and operating expenses
to support both the higher level of sales and continued investment in
operational infrastructure. As a percentage of sales, selling, general, and
administrative expenses decreased to 39.7% for the three months ended June 30,
1998 from 45.2% for the comparable period in 1997, reflecting the Company's
operating expense leverage. The Company believes that it will be able to
continue to leverage selling, general, and administrative expense as a
percentage of sales as its international operations become more established and
its sportswear and footwear sales expand.

Interest Expense: Interest expense increased by 9.8% for the three months ended
June 30, 1998 from the comparable period in 1997. The increase was attributable
to additional borrowing requirements for working capital needed to fund the
growth in sales activity for the three months ended June 30, 1998.

                                       7

Six Months Ended June 30,1998 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30,1997

Net sales: Net sales increased 36.4% to $142.1 million for the six month period
ended June 30, 1998 from $104.2 million for the comparable period in 1997.
Domestic sales increased 38.6% to $115.6 million for the six month period ended
June 30, 1998 from $83.4 million for the comparable period in 1997. Net
international sales, excluding Canada, increased 33.1% to $17.7 million for the
six month period ended June 30, 1998 from $13.3 million for the comparable
period in 1997. Canadian sales grew 17.3% to $8.8 million for the six month
period ended June 30, 1998 from $7.5 million compared to the same period in
1997. These increases were attributable primarily to increased sales of
carryover fall and current year spring sportswear units and more timely second
quarter shipments of domestic fall products.

Gross Profit: Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 40.3% for the six
months ended June 30, 1998 compared to 40.7% for the comparable period in 1997.
The decrease in gross margin was due to increased domestic sales of spring
close-out products during the six months ended June 30, 1998.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense: Selling, general, and
administrative expense increased 23.9% to $55.0 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1998 from $44.4 million for the comparable period in 1997, primarily as
a result of an increase in variable selling and operating expenses to support
both the higher level of sales and continued investment in operational
infrastructure. As a percentage of sales, selling, general, and administrative
expenses decreased to 38.7% for the six months ended June 30, 1998 from 42.6%
for the comparable period in 1997, reflecting the Company's operating expense
leverage. The Company believes that it will be able to continue to leverage
selling, general, and administrative as a percentage of sales as its
international operations become more established and its sportswear and footwear
sales expand.

Interest Expense: Interest expense increased by 20.5% for the six months ended
June 30, 1998 from the comparable period in 1997. The increase was attributable
to additional borrowing requirements for working capital needed to fund the
growth in sales activity for the six months ended June 30, 1998.

Provision For Income Taxes: Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30,
1998 includes a deferred income tax benefit of $2.0 million as a result of the
conversion to C corporate status in connection with the initial public offering.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company financed its operations in the six months ended June 30, 1998
primarily through net borrowings on notes payable and net proceeds from the
Company's initial public offering after distributions to shareholders. At June
30, 1998, the Company had total cash equivalents of $5.2 million compared to
$3.1 million at June 30, 1997. Cash used in operating activities was $19.6
million for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and $26.4 million for the
comparable period in 1997. This decrease was primarily due to an increase in
accounts payable offset by an increase in inventory.

The Company's primary capital requirements are for working capital, investing
activities associated with expansion of its distribution center, systems
development and general corporate needs. Net cash used in investing activities
was $22.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and $4.9 million for
the comparable period in 1997.

Cash provided by financing activities was $43.1 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1998 and $31.3 for the comparable period in 1997. The increase in net
cash provided from financing activities was primarily due to proceeds from the
Company's initial public offering net of distributions to shareholders and an
increase in net short term borrowings.

                                       8

To fund its working capital requirements, the Company has an unsecured revolving
line of credit with seasonal limits ranging from $50 to $90 million with Wells
Fargo Bank, N.A. which expires June 30, 1999. As of June 30, 1998, $47.2 million
was outstanding under this line of credit bearing interest at a rate of 6.0% per
annum.

The Company is party to a Buying Agency Agreement with Nissho Iwai American
Corporation ("Nissho") pursuant to which Nissho provides the Company unsecured
credit, the amount of which varies annually at Nissho's discretion, and acts as
a buying agent on behalf of the Company. At June 30, 1998 the maximum amount
available under the Nissho Agreement was $120 million, which includes $70
million allowed under the credit line and amounts available for letters of
credit. The agreement expires September 30, 1998. As of June 30, 1998, $40.7
million was outstanding under the Company's line of credit with Nissho bearing
interest at a rate of 6.2% per annum. The Company expects to renew this line of
credit upon its expiration.

The Company maintains a credit agreement with The Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking
Corporation Limited for an uncommitted and unsecured line of credit with a
combined limit of $60 million. Within this limit, up to $45 million may be used
as an import line of credit for issuing documentary letters of credit and up to
$25 million may be used as a revolving line of credit for working capital. As of
June 30,1998, no amount was outstanding under the revolving line of credit.

Proceeds from the IPO net of underwriting discounts and commissions totaled
$107.9 million, of which an amount equal to the greater of $95 million or the
amount of the Company Subchapter S accumulated adjustments account as of the
Termination Date was declared as a dividend to shareholders of record on March
23, 1998. As of April 1, 1998, $95 million had been distributed to such
shareholders. The Company has not yet determined the final amount of the
Subchapter S accumulated adjustments account as of the Termination date, but
expects the account to amount to approximately $102 million. Any additional
dividend is not expected to significantly affect the Company's liquidity.

For the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Company expended approximately $22.5
million, excluding capitalized interest, on capital projects. In connection with
these capital projects, the Company has entered into a note purchase agreement.
Pursuant to the note purchase agreement, the Company issued senior promissory
notes in the aggregate principal amount of $25 million, bearing an interest rate
of 6.68% and maturing August 11, 2008. Proceeds from the notes will be used to
finance the expansion of the Company's distribution center in Portland, Oregon.
Up to an additional $15 million in shelf notes may be issued under the note
purchase agreement. The Company believes that its liquidity requirements for the
next 12 months and beyond will be adequately covered by the IPO net proceeds,
short term arrangements and the proceeds from the senior notes.

Year 2000 Compliance

The Company has made extensive efforts over the past several years to upgrade or
replace all enterprise level software and hardware platforms. A part of the
selection criteria for new software and hardware systems were global software
support and Year 2000 compliance. The Company is expending capital for new
enterprise management information systems, expected to be fully operational by
late 1998, which will address the Year 2000 issue on all core Company business
systems. These include, but are not limited to, financial, manufacturing and
inventory management, distribution, and sales order processing applications. The
Company has other ancillary systems such as sales reporting, product
development, retail, merchandising and design that are scheduled to be modified
as required to address Year 2000 issues in a timely fashion. Desktop
productivity systems, networking and communications are also integral to the
Company's operations and have been surveyed for Year 2000 compliance.
Non-compliant components and software have been identified and are scheduled for
replacement or upgrade where necessary by mid-1999. Non-Information Technology
systems such as Company-owned manufacturing equipment, office equipment and
local office telephone systems are being assessed for related Year 2000 risks.
The Company conducts business with several customers via Electronic Data
Interchange (EDI) and will implement and test Year 2000 compliant standards and
software to ensure uninterrupted service. The majority of the Company's product

                                       9

sourcing is performed through independent manufacturers primarily in Southeast
Asia. Although analyses are underway, an initial review of these facilities
indicates that most operations and business processes are manual in nature and,
consequently, the Company does not expect the Year 2000 issue will impact its
ability to effectively source its products.

The Company's enterprise management information systems were implemented
primarily to improve its business processes rather than solely to address Year
2000 compliance issues. The costs associated with bringing the Company's
ancillary, desktop productivity, networking, communication and non-IT systems
into Year 2000 compliance are being assessed; however, the Company does not
expect the aggregate of these costs will materially affect its liquidity and
capital resources.

The Company has undergone what it believes is a reasonable and thorough review
of Year 2000 issues on its operations, liquidity and financial condition and
identified the related issues and risks. As a result of this review, the Company
believes no identified issues or reasonably foreseeable circumstances should
have a material affect on the company.

The most likely issue facing the Company regarding Year 2000 compliance is the
inability of compliant software or systems to perform as intended. Although the
Company does not have a comprehensive contingency plan, it expects to apply its
own resources and the resources of system providers to solve these issues as
they are identified.
