QUIKSILVER, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
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 results of operations for the three and six months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006. 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, 2006 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.
 
    For the three and six months ended April 30, 2007, the potential dilutive effect of common stock equivalents was not included in the weighted average shares for the computation of diluted earnings per share, as the effect was antidilutive.
 
2.   New Accounting Pronouncements
 
    In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections,” (“SFAS No. 154”) 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 adopted this standard during the six months ended April 30, 2007. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s 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.
 
    In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) released Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 provides interpretive guidance on the SEC’s views regarding the process of quantifying materiality of financial statement misstatements. The Company adopted this standard during the six months ended April 30, 2007. The adoption of this accounting pronouncement did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
    In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. This standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company expects to adopt this standard at the beginning of the Company’s fiscal year

    ending October 31, 2009. The adoption of this accounting pronouncement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
    In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” (“SFAS No. 159”), which permits companies to choose to measure certain financial instruments and other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company has not determined the effect that the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
 
3.   Stock-Based Compensation
 
    The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) “Share-Based Payment”. The Company uses 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 six months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006, options were valued assuming a risk-free interest rate of 4.8% and 4.5%, respectively, volatility of 43.1% and 44.9%, respectively, zero dividend yield, and an expected life of 5.6 and 5.2 years, respectively. The weighted average fair value of options granted was $7.19 and $6.32 for the six months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The Company records stock compensation expense using the graded vested method over the vesting period, which is generally three years. As of April 30, 2007, the Company had approximately $16.4 million of unrecognized compensation expense expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.2 years. Compensation expense was included as selling, general and administrative expense for the period.

    In March 2006, the Company’s shareholders approved the 2006 Restricted Stock Plan and in March 2007, the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment to the 2000 Stock Incentive Plan whereby restricted shares and restricted share units can be issued from such plan. Stock issued under these plans generally vest from three to five years and may have certain performance based acceleration features which allow for earlier vesting in the future.
 
    Changes in restricted stock for the six months ended April 30, 2007 are as follows:
         
    Shares
Outstanding, October 31, 2006
    800,000  
Granted
    35,000  
Vested
     
Forfeited
    (45,000 )
 
       
Outstanding, April 30, 2007
    790,000  
 
       
    Compensation expense is determined using the intrinsic value method and forfeitures are estimated at the date of grant based on historical rates and reduce the compensation expense recognized. The Company monitors the probability of meeting the restricted stock performance criteria and will adjust the amortization period as appropriate. As of April 30, 2007, there had been no acceleration of the amortization period. During the six months ended April 30, 2007, the Company recognized approximately $0.5 million in related compensation expense. As of April 30, 2007, the Company had approximately $8.5 million of unrecognized compensation expense expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.3 years.

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 risks are marked to fair value with corresponding gains or losses recorded in earnings. A loss of $0.3 million was recognized related to these types of derivatives during the six months ended April 30, 2007. For all qualifying cash flow hedges, the changes in the fair value of the derivatives are recorded in other comprehensive income. As of April 30, 2007, the Company was hedging forecasted transactions expected to occur through July 2009. Assuming exchange rates at April 30, 2007 remain constant, $13.2 million of losses, net of tax, related to hedges of these transactions are expected to be reclassified into earnings over the next 27 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 six months ended April 30, 2007, the Company reclassified into earnings a net loss of $2.0 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 6.4%). 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 October 2009 and the Company can buy their interest at its option after April 2012, 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 accounted 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 by integrating Rossignol’s brands, products and operations with the Company’s, and is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. Amortizable 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. As of April 30, 2007, the Company had recognized approximately $65.3 million of liabilities related to this plan. See Note 11 for further description of this 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.

    Shoes, Inc. related to the achievement of certain sales and earnings targets, and the remaining $13.9 million relates primarily to acquisitions of certain other distributors and retail store locations.
 
10.   Litigation, Indemnities and Guarantees
 
    The Company has been named in a class action lawsuit that alleges willful violation of the federal Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction Act based upon certain of the Company’s retail stores’ alleged electronic printing of receipts on which appeared more than the last five digits of customers’ credit or debit card number and/or the expiration date of such customers’ credit or debit card. The Company is currently unable to assess the extent of damages, if any, that could be awarded to the plaintiff class if it were to prevail. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself against the claims asserted. No provision has been made in the Company’s financial statements for the six months ended April 30, 2007.
 
    The Company is also involved from time to time in legal claims involving trademark and intellectual property, licensing, employee relations and other matters incidental to its business. The Company believes the resolution of any such matter currently pending will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.
 
    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 April 30, 2007 the Company had 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 SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations” and Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 95-3, “Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination”. As of April 30, 2007, the Company 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 France, totaled approximately $19.5 million at April 30, 2007. If the Company has overestimated these integration costs, the excess will reduce goodwill in future periods. If the Company has

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 April 30, 2007 and October 31, 2006 and for the six months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006. 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 the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2007, 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 CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1.   Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed 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.
 
    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 financial statements do not include financial statements for any periods prior to 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.
 
    The Parent has $400 million in publicly registered senior 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 financial statements are being included in the Parent’s Form 10-Q in accordance with the SEC’s Regulation S-X, Rule 3-10.
 
2.   New Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections,” (“SFAS No. 154”) 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 adopted this standard during the six months ended April 30, 2007. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s 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.
 
    In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) released Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 provides interpretive guidance on the SEC’s views regarding the process of quantifying materiality of financial statement misstatements. The Company adopted this standard during the six months ended April 30, 2007. The adoption of this accounting pronouncement did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

    In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. This standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company expects to adopt this standard at the beginning of the Company’s fiscal year ending October 31, 2009. The adoption of this accounting pronouncement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
    In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” (“SFAS No. 159”), which permits companies to choose to measure certain financial instruments and other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company has not determined the effect that the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

These include (i) intellectual property indemnities to the Company’s customers and licensees in connection with the use, sales, and/or license of Company products; (ii) indemnities to vendors and service providers pertaining to claims based on the negligence or willful misconduct of the Company; (iii) indemnities involving the accuracy of representations and warranties in certain contracts; (iv) indemnities to directors and officers of the Company to the maximum extent permitted under the laws of the State of California; and (v) certain real estate leases under which the Company may be required to indemnify property owners for environmental and other liabilities, and other claims arising from the Company’s use of the applicable premises. In addition, the Company has made a contractual commitment to an employee providing for severance payments upon the occurrence of certain prescribed events. 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. Historically, the Company has not been obligated to make significant payments for these obligations, and no liabilities have been recorded for these indemnities, commitments, and guarantees in the accompanying balance sheets.

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,” “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 report 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, 2006 and subsequent reports on Form 8-K which discuss our business and related risks in greater detail and should be considered carefully 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 the Quiksilver brand 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 the Quiksilver brand in the United States from our Australian licensor, we further expanded our product offerings and began to diversify. In 1991, we acquired the European licensee of Quiksilver and introduced Roxy, 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 display the heritage and products of Quiksilver and Roxy. In 2000, we acquired the international Quiksilver and Roxy trademarks, and in 2002, we acquired our licensees in Australia and Japan. In 2004, we acquired DC Shoes, Inc. 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 the Rossignol, Dynastar, Lange, Look and Kerma brands, and also sells golf products under the Cleveland Golf and Never Compromise brands. Today our products are sold throughout the world, primarily in surf shops, snow shops, skate shops and specialty stores.
Since we acquired Rossignol, our business has become more seasonal. Our revenues and operating profits are generally higher in August through December, which affect our consolidated quarterly results.
Over the past 36 years, Quiksilver has been established as a leading global brand representing the casual, youth lifestyle associated with boardriding sports. With our acquisition of Rossignol, we 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 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.

(1)   EBITDA is defined as net income before (i) interest expense, (ii) income tax expense, (iii) depreciation and amortization, and (iv) non-cash stock based compensation expense. 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. Following is a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA:

Three Months Ended April 30, 2007 Compared to Three Months Ended April 30, 2006
Our total net revenues for the three months ended April 30, 2007 increased 17% to $603.8 million from $516.9 million in the comparable period of the prior year. Revenues in the Americas increased 12% to $279.8 million for the three months ended April 30, 2007 from $250.0 million in the comparable period of the prior year, and European revenues increased 24% to $268.8 million from $217.1 million for those same periods. As measured in euros, Europe’s primary functional currency, Europe’s revenues in the current year’s quarter increased 13% compared to the prior year. Asia/Pacific revenues increased 12% to $54.0 million for the three months ended April 30, 2007 from $48.2 million for the three months ended April 30, 2006. In Australian dollars, Asia/Pacific’s primary functional currency, Asia/Pacific revenues increased 3% compared to the prior year.
Our net revenues can be categorized into two general classifications: apparel brands and equipment brands. Our apparel brand revenue classification includes Quiksilver, Roxy, DC and our other apparel brands of Hawk, Gotcha, Raisins, Leilani and Radio Fiji. Our equipment brand revenue classification includes our Rossignol and other wintersports brands, comprising Rossignol, Dynastar, Look, Lange, Kerma, Lib Technologies, Gnu and Bent Metal, along with our golf brands of Cleveland Golf, Never Compromise and Fidra.
Our apparel brand revenues for the three months ended April 30, 2007 increased 21% to $519.1 million from $428.5 million for the three months ended April 30, 2006. This increase resulted from strength in our Roxy, Quiksilver, and DC brands, partially offset by a slight decrease in our other apparel brand revenues. Roxy and Quiksilver brand revenue growth came primarily from growth in apparel and, to a lesser extent, footwear and accessories product types. DC’s growth was primarily in footwear and, to a lesser extent, its apparel and accessories product types. Our equipment brand revenues decreased 4% during the three months ended April 30, 2007 to $83.5 million from $86.9 million for the three months ended April 30, 2006. The substantial majority of this decrease came from our golf equipment brand revenues while our wintersports equipment brand revenues only slightly decreased. The decrease in golf equipment brand revenues is primarily related to lower than expected demand for certain products caused by the timing of our product releases. While our wintersports brand revenues were largely unchanged, the current period’s revenues included lower sales offset by the positive effect of foreign currency exchange rates and, to a lesser extent, increases in wintersports equipment brand apparel. Preorders of our wintersports equipment products for the upcoming 2007/2008 winter season are expected to be lower than the prior year’s season due to decreased market demand caused by the lack of snowfall in many parts of Europe and the United States in the 2006/2007 winter season.

In Europe, our apparel brand revenues for the three months ended April 30, 2007 increased 26%, and our equipment brand revenues increased 10% compared to the three months ended April 30, 2006.

Our consolidated gross profit margin for the three months ended April 30, 2007 decreased to 44.9% from 45.4% in the comparable period of the prior year. The Americas’ gross profit margin decreased to 39.8% from 41.3%, and the European gross profit margin decreased to 49.5% from 50.0%, while the Asia/Pacific gross profit margin increased to 47.3% from 45.7% for those same periods. The decrease in the Americas’ gross profit margin was primarily due to lower margins in our wintersports and golf equipment businesses, paritally offset by improved margins in our apparel brands and a higher percentage of sales through company owned retail stores where we earn both the wholesale and retail margins. Our European gross profit margin decrease was primarily due to lower margins in our wintersports equipment business, partially offset by improved margins in our Quiksilver and Roxy apparel brands. In Asia/Pacific, the gross profit margin increase was primarily due to a higher percentage of sales through company-owned retail stores, partially offset by lower margins in our wintersports equipment brands.
Selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A”) for the three months ended April 30, 2007 increased 21% to $262.1 million from $215.8 million in the comparable period of the prior year. Americas’ SG&A increased 22% to $99.4 million from $81.5 million in the comparable period of the prior year, while European SG&A increased 24% to $119.0 million from $96.2 million and Asia/Pacific SG&A increased 15% to $27.9 million from $24.3 million for those same periods. As a percentage of revenues, our SG&A increased to 43.4% for the three months ended April 30, 2007 from 41.8% for the three months ended April 30, 2006. The consolidated increase in our SG&A as a percentage of revenue was primarily caused by the cost of additional retail stores and increased distribution costs.
Interest expense for the three months ended April 30, 2007 increased to $14.8 million from $11.9 million in the comparable period of the prior year. This increase was primarily due to higher borrowing levels on our lines of credit to finance increased working capital needs and, to a lesser extent, higher interest rates on our variable-rate debt in Europe and the United States.
Our foreign currency loss amounted to $1.5 million for the three months ended April 30, 2007 compared to a gain of $0.5 million in the same period of last year. This gain and loss resulted primarily from the foreign currency contracts we used to hedge the risk of translating the results of our international subsidiaries into U.S. dollars and the foreign exchange effect of certain non-U.S. dollar denominated liabilities.
Our effective income tax rate for the three months ended April 30, 2007 was 31.7% compared to 33.0% for the three months ended April 30, 2006. The income tax rate for the three months ended April 30, 2007 was favorably impacted by certain changes in estimates relating to our foreign tax expense. Our estimated annual effective income tax rate is lower than the prior year’s annual rate primarily due to the higher impact of certain beneficial items included in our tax rate.
Our loss for the three months ended April 30, 2007 was $4.8 million or $0.04 per share on a diluted basis, compared to net income of $3.7 million, or $0.03 per share on a diluted basis, in the same period of the prior year. Basic net loss per share was $0.04 per share for the three months ended April 30, 2007 compared to net income of $0.03 per share in the same period of the prior year. EBITDA decreased 24% to $29.7 million from $38.9 million for those same periods.

Six Months Ended April 30, 2007 Compared to Six Months Ended April 30, 2006
Our total net revenues for the six months ended April 30, 2007 increased 9% to $1,156.3 million from $1,058.1 million in the comparable period of the prior year. Revenues in the Americas increased 11% to $520.4 million for the six months ended April 30, 2007 from $470.8 million in the comparable period of the prior year, and European revenues increased 9% to $522.8 million from $478.3 million for those same periods. As measured in euros, revenues in the first six months of the current year decreased slightly compared to the prior year. Asia/Pacific revenues increased 4% to $111.2 million in the six months ended April 30, 2007 compared to $106.6 million in the comparable period of the prior year. As measured in Australian dollars, revenues decreased 2% over the comparable period of the prior year.
Our apparel brand revenues for the six months ended April 30, 2007 increased 20% to $930.6 million from $777.8 million for the six months ended April 30, 2006. This increase resulted from strength in our Roxy, Quiksilver and DC brands. Our other apparel brand revenues decreased slightly compared to the first six months of fiscal 2006. Roxy and Quiksilver brand revenue growth came primarily from apparel and, to a lesser extent, footwear and accessories product types. DC’s growth was primarily in footwear and, to a lesser extent, its apparel and accessories product types. Our equipment brand revenues decreased 19% during the six months ended April 30, 2007 to $223.7 million from $277.9 million for the six months ended April 30, 2006. The substantial majority of this decrease came from Rossignol and our other wintersports brands. We shipped earlier during the current winter season compared to the year before, which resulted in higher revenues in the fourth quarter of our last full fiscal year ended October 31, 2006 compared to the comparable period of the prior year and lower revenues in the three months ended January 31, 2007 compared to the comparable period of the prior year. During the three months ended April 30, 2007, our wintersports equipment brand revenues only slightly decreased. For the combined six months, our wintersports brand revenues also decreased compared to the previous year as market demand was significantly lower this winter due to the lack of snowfall in many parts of Europe and the United States. The decrease in golf equipment brand revenue is primarily related to lower than expected demand for certain of its products caused by the timing of product releases.

In the Americas, our apparel brand revenues for the six months ended April 30, 2007 increased 17%, while our equipment brand revenues decreased 15% compared to the six months ended April 30, 2006. In Europe, our apparel brand revenues for the six months ended April 30, 2007 increased 24%, while our equipment brand revenues decreased 20% compared to the six months ended April 30, 2006. In Asia/Pacific, our apparel brand revenues for the six months ended April 30, 2007 increased 13%, while our equipment brand revenues decreased 46% compared to the six months ended April 30, 2006.
Our consolidated gross profit margin for the six months ended April 30, 2007 increased slightly to 45.8% from 45.7% in the comparable period of the prior year. The Americas’ gross profit margin decreased to 40.0% from 40.6%, while the European gross profit margin increased to 51.3% from 50.9%, and the Asia/Pacific gross profit margin increased to 46.1% from 44.9% for those same periods. The decrease in our Americas’ gross profit margin was primarily due to lower margins in our wintersports and golf equipment businesses, paritally offset by improved margins in our apparel brands and a higher percentage of sales through company owned retail stores where we earn both the wholesale and retail

margins. Our European gross profit margin increase was primarily due to improved margins in our Quiksilver and Roxy apparel brands, which were partially offset by lower margins in our wintersports equipment brands. In Asia/Pacific, the gross profit margin increase was primarily due to a higher percentage of sales through company-owned retail stores, partially offset by lower margins in our wintersports equipment brands.
SG&A for the six months ended April 30, 2007 increased 17% to $501.3 million from $427.1 million in the comparable period of the prior year. Americas’ SG&A increased 20% to $198.1 million from $165.3 million in the comparable period of the prior year, European SG&A increased 18% to $220.5 million from $187.6 million, and Asia/Pacific SG&A increased 15% to $54.3 million from $47.2 million for those same periods. As a percentage of revenues, our SG&A increased to 43.4% for the six months ended April 30, 2007 from 40.4% for the six months ended April 30, 2006. The consolidated increase in our SG&A as a percentage of revenue was primarily caused by the cost of additional retail stores and increased distribution costs.
Interest expense for the six months ended April 30, 2007 increased to $30.3 million from $24.5 million in the comparable period of the prior year. This increase was primarily due to higher borrowing levels on our lines of credit to finance increased working capital needs and, to a lesser extent, higher interest rates on our variable-rate debt in Europe and the United States.
Our foreign currency loss amounted to $3.4 million for the six months ended April 30, 2007 compared to a gain of $1.0 million in the comparable period of the prior year. This gain and loss resulted primarily from the foreign currency contracts we used to hedge the risk of translating the results of our international subsidiaries into U.S. dollars and the foreign exchange effect of certain non-U.S. dollar denominated liabilities.
Our effective income tax rate for the six months ended April 30, 2007 was 37.1% compared to 30.1% for the six months ended April 30, 2006. The income tax rate for the six months ended April 30, 2007 was favorably impacted by certain changes in estimates relating to our foreign tax expense. Our estimated annual effective income tax rate is lower than the prior year’s annual rate primarily due to the higher impact of certain beneficial items included in our tax rate.
Our loss for the six months ended April 30, 2007 was $2.3 million or $0.02 per share on a diluted basis, compared to net income of $22.3 million, or $0.18 per share on a diluted basis, in the same period of the prior year. Basic net loss per share was $0.02 per share for the six months ended April 30, 2007 compared to net income per share of $0.18 per share in the same period of the prior year. EBITDA decreased 30% to $69.9 million from $99.2 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 of senior notes to fund a portion of the purchase price for our acquisition of Rossignol and to refinance certain existing indebtedness.
In April 2007, we exercised our option to expand the Americas credit facility from $250 million to $300 million (with a continuing option to expand the facility to $350 million under certain conditions).
The net increase in cash and cash equivalents for the six months ended April 30, 2007 was $27.6 million compared to $21.2 million in the comparable period of the prior year. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $64.5 million at April 30, 2007 compared to $36.8 million at October 31, 2006, while working capital was $616.0 million at April 30, 2007 compared to $568.6 million at October 31, 2006. 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 $116.1 million of cash from operating activities in the six months ended April 30, 2007 compared to $114.1 million for the same period of the prior year. This $2.0 million increase in cash provided was due to changes in accounts receivable, inventories and accounts payable offset by changes in net (loss) income, non-cash items and other operating assets and liabilities. During the six months ended April 30, 2007, the decrease in accounts receivable provided cash of $141.4 million compared to cash provided of $128.6 million during the six months ended April 30, 2006, an increase in cash provided of $12.8 million. The change in inventories, net of the change in accounts payable, used cash of $20.3 million during the six months ended April 30, 2007 compared to cash used of $22.5 million for the same period of the prior year, a net decrease in cash used of $2.2 million. The change in net (loss) income, non-cash items and other operating assets and liabilities resulted in a decrease in cash provided of $13.0 million during the six months ended April 30, 2007 compared to the comparable period of the prior year.
Capital expenditures totaled $53.5 million for the six months ended April 30, 2007, compared to $42.7 million in the comparable period of the prior year. These investments included company-owned retail stores and ongoing investments in manufacturing, computer and warehouse equipment. We also used $34.1 million of cash for acquisitions for the six months ended April 30, 2007, of which $20.2 million relates to a payment to the former owners of DC Shoes, Inc., and the remaining $13.9 million relates primarily to acquisitions of certain distributors and retail store locations.
During the six months ended April 30, 2007, net cash used in financing activities totaled $8.4 million, compared to $23.5 million used in financing activities in the comparable period of the prior year. Borrowings decreased as we generated increased cash from our operating activities.
Trade Accounts Receivable and Inventories
Our trade accounts receivable decreased 16% to $603.7 million at April 30, 2007 from $721.6 million at October 31, 2006. Accounts receivable in the Americas decreased 15% to $254.6 million at April 30, 2007 from $298.5 million at October 31, 2006, while European accounts receivable decreased 11% to $297.2 million from $335.5 million, and Asia/Pacific accounts receivable decreased 41% to $51.8 million from $87.6 million for those same periods. Compared to April 30, 2006, accounts receivable increased 18% in the Americas, 33% in Europe and 21% in Asia/Pacific. Included in accounts receivable are approximately $40.6 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 deducted from accounts receivable to accurately compute days sales outstanding. Overall average days sales outstanding increased by approximately 7 days at April 30, 2007 compared to April 30, 2006. This increase is primarily related to our wintersports and golf equipment brands. Our apparel brands days sales outstanding decreased by 2 days at April 30, 2007 compared to the same period of the prior year.
Consolidated inventories increased 9% to $463.3 million at April 30, 2007 from $425.9 million at October 31, 2006. Inventories in the Americas decreased 3% to $188.8 million from $194.1 million at October 31, 2006, while European inventories increased 17% to $205.9 million from $176.3 million, and Asia/Pacific inventories increased 24% to $68.6 million from $55.5 million for those same periods. Compared to April 30, 2006, inventories increased 20% in the Americas, 6% in Europe and 37% in Asia/Pacific. Consolidated average annual inventory turnover remained constant at approximately 3.1 at April 30, 2007 compared to April 30, 2006.

Commitments
We paid $20.2 million related to the achievement of certain sales and earnings targets to the former owners of DC Shoes, Inc. during the six months ended April 30, 2007.
In connection with our acquisition of Rossignol, we 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 April 30, 2007, 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 operations, 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 April 30, 2007, we have paid approximately $30.7 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 France, totaled approximately $19.5 million at April 30, 2007.
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

38


Table of Contents

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 Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123(R) “Share-Based Payment” (“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

39


Table of Contents

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. 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 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.

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain information included in this Form 10-Q and other materials filed or to be filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission (as well as information included in oral or written statements made by us or on our behalf), may contain forward-looking statements about our current and expected performance trends, growth plans, business goals and other matters. These statements may be contained in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in our press releases, in other written communications, and in oral statements made by or with the approval of one of our authorized officers. Words or phrases such as “believe,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements, as well as any other statements that refer to projections of our future financial performance, our anticipated growth and trends in our business and other characterizations of future events or circumstances, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
We have identified and disclosed important factors, risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements made by us, or on our behalf, or otherwise affect our business, results of operations and financial condition (see Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” included in our most recent Form 10-K). These cautionary statements are to be used as a reference in connection with any forward-looking statements. The factors, risks and uncertainties identified in these cautionary statements are in addition to those contained in any other cautionary statements, written or oral, which may be made or otherwise addressed in connection with a forward-looking statement or contained in any of our subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Because of these factors, risks and uncertainties, we caution against placing undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the assumptions underlying forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be incorrect, and there can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise unless required to do so by securities laws.

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 the Australian dollar or Japanese yen.
European revenues increased only slightly in euros during the six months ended April 30, 2007 compared to the six months ended April 30, 2006. As measured in U.S. dollars and reported in our consolidated statements of income, European revenues increased 9% as a result of a stronger euro versus the U.S. dollar in comparison to the prior year.
Asia/Pacific revenues decreased 2% in Australian dollars during the six months ended April 30, 2007 compared to the six months ended April 30, 2006 As measured in U.S. dollars and reported in our consolidated statements of income, Asia/Pacific revenues increased 4% as a result of a stronger Australian dollar versus the U.S. 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, 2006 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 April 30, 2007, 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 April 30, 2007.
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 April 30, 2007 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
On February 27, 2007, a class action captioned Burnis L. Simon, Jr. v. Quicksilver, Inc. (sic), Case No. CV07-01326, was filed against us in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. The complaint alleges willful violation of the federal Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (“FACTA”) based upon certain of our retail stores’ alleged electronic printing of receipts on which appeared more than the last five digits of customers’ credit or debit card numbers and/or the expiration of such customers’ credit or debit cards. The complaint seeks statutory damages of not less than $100 and not more than $1,000 for each violation, as well as unspecified punitive damages, attorneys’ fees and a permanent injunction from further engaging in violations of FACTA. The complaint does not allege that any class member has suffered actual damages. Similar complaints have been filed against a number of other retailers. We intend to vigorously defend against the claims asserted. However, the results of any litigation are inherently uncertain and we cannot assure that we will be able to successfully defend against such claims. We are currently unable to assess the extent of damages and/or other relief, if any, that could be awarded to the plaintiff class if it were to prevail.
