                           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, 2001, and the results of operations for the three
months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 and cash flows for the three months ended
March 31, 2001 and 2000. 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, 2001 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 accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America 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, 2000.

Certain reclassifications of amounts reported in the prior period financial
statements have been made to conform to classifications used in the current
period financial statements.

NOTE 2.  INVENTORIES

Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using
the first-in, first-out method.

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, 2001 and 2000. A reconciliation of
the common shares used in the denominator for computing basic and diluted net
income per share is as follows:




                                                              Three Months Ended

Subsequent to March 31, 2001, the Company announced a three-for-two stock split
of its common stock. The stock split will be distributed on June 4th, 2001 to
all shareholders of record at the close of business on May 17th, 2001.
Shareholders will receive one additional share of Columbia common stock for
every two shares owned, the new shares to be payable in the form of a stock
dividend.

and selling of active outdoor apparel, including outerwear, sportswear, rugged
footwear, and accessories. The geographic distribution of the Company's net

NOTE 6.  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

As part of the Company's risk management programs, the Company uses 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.

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 Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activity," 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 three months ended
March 31, 2001 and 2000.

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

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

The statements in this report concerning 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, 2000 under the heading "Factors
That May Affect Our Business". Factors that could adversely affect future
financing and working capital needs include, but are not limited to, increased
competitive factors (including increased competition, new product offerings by
competitors and price pressures); 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; unavailability of
independent manufacturing, labor or supplies at reasonable prices; unfavorable
business conditions, disruptions in the outerwear, sportswear and rugged
footwear industries; the inability to obtain additional financing on acceptable
terms; delays or disruptions in our capital projects; and our ability to
negotiate favorable terms for construction of our proposed European distribution
facility. Factors that could cause the implementation of the Euro to have an
adverse affect on our business include operational disruptions that could result
from the systems conversion required for the Euro implementation. The Company
does not undertake any obligations to update this forward-looking information to
conform it to changes in circumstances or expectations.

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, 2001 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000

NET SALES: Net sales increased 27.4% to $138.1 million for the three month
period ended March 31, 2001 from $108.4 million for the comparable period in
2000. Domestic sales increased 25.4% to $86.4 million for the three month period
ended March 31, 2001 from $68.9 million for the comparable period in 2000. Net
international sales, excluding Canada, increased 31.3% to $38.2 million for the
three month period ended March 31, 2001 from $29.1 million for the comparable
period in 2000. Canadian sales increased 29.8% to $13.5 million for the three
month period ended March 31, 2001 from $10.4 million for the same period in
2000. The domestic and European increases were primarily attributable to
increased sales of outerwear, footwear and sportswear units in the United States
and sportswear units in Europe.

GROSS PROFIT: Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 42.9% for both the
three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000. The gross margin for the three
months ended March 31, 2001 reflects continued strength in the full priced
product margins across all product categories in the United States, the shift in
product mix to a greater percent of high margin spring outerwear and the
reduction of close-out product shipments during the period. This was partially
offset by the decline in the value of the Euro, which affected our European
margins for the quarter.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE: Selling, general, and
administrative expense increased 11.1% to $44.9 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2001 from $40.4 million for the comparable period in 2000,
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 decreased to 32.5% for the three months
ended March 31, 2001 from 37.2% for the comparable period in 2000. The decrease
in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales was
primarily due to strong sales growth coupled with operating efficiencies for
the three months ended March 31, 2001.

INTEREST EXPENSE: Interest expense decreased by 88.3% for the three months ended
March 31, 2001 from the comparable period in 2000. This decrease was
attributable to our increased cash position for the three months ended March 31,
2001 when compared to the same period in 2000.

SEASONALITY OF BUSINESS

Our business is affected by the general seasonal trends common to the outdoor
apparel industry, with sales and profits 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 Company's results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our primary ongoing funding requirements are to finance working capital and
continued growth of the business. At March 31, 2001, we had total cash
equivalents of $40.5 million compared to $27.8 million at March 31, 2000. Cash
provided by operating activities was $9.3 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2001 and $23.3 million for the comparable period in 2000. 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 domestic and international operations and
general corporate needs. Net cash used in investing activities was $8.7 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and $1.2 million for the comparable
period in 2000. This increase was primarily due to expenditures related to the
expansion of our domestic distribution center.

Cash provided by financing activities was $5.1 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2001 compared to cash used in financing activities of $9.2
million for the comparable period in 2000. The increase in net cash provided by
financing activities was primarily due to reduced repayments of notes payable,
partially offset by proceeds from employee stock plans.

To fund our working capital requirements, we have available unsecured revolving
lines of credit with aggregate seasonal limits ranging from approximately $35 to
$75 million, of which $10 million to $50 million is committed. As of March 31,
2001, $24.3 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 $135 million available for
issuing documentary letters of credit. Internationally, our subsidiaries have
local currency operating lines in place guaranteed by our domestic operations.

We have recently announced capital expenditures to support our continued growth,
including the expansion of our United States distribution center, remodeling of
our recently purchased corporate headquarters and construction of a European
distribution facility. We anticipate the capital expenditures associated with
these projects as well as our maintenance capital will be approximately $40
million in 2001 and will be funded by existing cash and cash provided by
operations. However, if the need for additional financing arises, our ability to
obtain additional credit facilities will depend on prevailing market conditions,
our financial condition, and our ability to negotiate favorable terms and
conditions.

EURO CURRENCY CONVERSION

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. Greece adopted the Euro on
January 1, 2001. 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.
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.
