                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared by Cutter & Buck Inc. (the "Company") in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for interim financial statements and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do
not include all of the information and disclosures required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion
of the Company's management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The Company's
revenues are seasonal, and therefore the results of operations for the nine
months ended January 31, 2000 may not be indicative of the results for the full
fiscal year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial
statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended April 30, 1999, included in
the Company's filing on Form 10-K.

NOTE 2. EARNINGS PER SHARE

    Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average
number of common shares and equivalents outstanding. Common share equivalents
included in the computation represent shares issuable upon assumed exercise of
outstanding stock options except when the effect of their inclusion would be
antidilutive.

    The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings
per share:

NOTE 4. DEBT

    In April 1999, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Washington
Mutual Bank d/b/a Western Bank ("Western Bank") for a $40 million line of
credit, replacing the Company's previous line of credit. Western Bank has
included Bank of America National Trust and Savings Association d/b/a Seafirst
Bank in the arrangement as co-lender. The revolving line of credit is to be used
for general corporate purposes, without limitation, repayment of any other
advances, reimbursement of draws under letters of credit, equipment and
leasehold improvements and other corporate purposes and provides for a $25
million sublimit for direct advances. Interest on borrowings is charged and
payable monthly at either the Prime rate or the LIBOR rate plus 2%, each as
defined in the loan agreement, at the borrower's election. The line of credit
expires on August 1, 2000 and is collateralized by a security interest in the
Company's inventory, accounts receivable, furniture and equipment, contract
rights and general intangibles. The loan agreement contains certain restrictive
covenants covering minimum working capital and tangible net worth, as well as a
maximum debt-to-equity ratio and maximum capital expenditures. The Company was
in compliance with these covenants at January 31, 2000. At January 31, 2000,
letters of credit outstanding against this line of credit totaled $15,218,975
and there were no working capital advances.


    During fiscal 1999, the Company's Dutch subsidiary entered into a loan
agreement with Cooperatieve Rabobank "Huizen" B.A. ("Rabobank") for a $3.4
million line of credit. In October 1999, the line of credit was increased to
$4.4 million. The line of credit with Rabobank is to be used for international
letters of credit and working capital advances. Interest on borrowings is
charged and payable quarterly at a variable rate (5.6% at January 31, 2000). The
line of credit is secured by the Company's European inventory, an irrevocable
standby letter of credit issued by Western Bank of $4.4 million and
subordination of $2.7 million of intercompany debt. At January 31, 2000, letters
of credit outstanding against this line of credit totaled $214,189 and working
capital advances totaled $3,811,515.


    The Company also has a $5 million term credit facility with Western Bank. As
of January 31, 2000, $5 million had been advanced against the term credit
facility. The term loan bears interest at a fixed annual rate of 6.6% with
interest payable monthly and annual principal payments of $714,286 due in August
of years 2000 through 2004. The final principal payment of $1,428,570 is due in
August 2005. The term loan is also collateralized by a security interest in the
Company's inventory, accounts receivable, furniture and equipment, and contract
rights.

NOTE 5. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

    On July 23, 1999 the Company sold 1,700,000 shares of its common stock to
the public at $16 per share. On August 3, 1999, the underwriters exercised their
over-allotment option to purchase an additional

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

NOTE 5. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY (CONTINUED)
255,000 shares of common stock at $16 per share. Proceeds to the Company, net of
underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses totaling
$2,462,760, amounted to $28,817,240.

    In addition to these shares sold to the public, the Company sold 56,161
shares of common stock under its employee stock purchase plan and pursuant to
the exercise of stock options.

    On August 13, 1999, the Company granted an additional 17,525 shares under
its Restricted Stock Plan and recorded deferred compensation of $252,016
relating to this grant.

NOTE 6. LITIGATION

    In August 1999, the Company reached a settlement of the two
previously-described lawsuits related to labor issues in Saipan. The settlement
involves both a monetary payment which had no material impact on the Company's
financial position or results of operations, and a monitoring component which
requires all future Company contracts for the manufacture of garments in Saipan
to include a requirement that the manufacturer maintain compliance with certain
minimum workplace and living standards. The settlement of the federal court
action is subject to court approval applicable to class actions of this nature.
No hearing has been set to date.

    The Company is also party to routine litigation incidental to its business.
Management believes the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a
material adverse effect on its financial position and results of operations.

OVERVIEW

    Cutter & Buck is a lifestyle brand with broad demographic appeal, targeted
to men and women who seek updated classic American styles inspired by golf and
our Pacific Northwest heritage. We sell our distinctive sportswear and outerwear
products primarily through golf pro shops and resorts, corporate sales accounts
and better specialty stores.

    We have grown sales in our three primary channels of distribution over the
last five years through an increase in the number of accounts and an increase in
the average annual net sales per account. The increase in the number of accounts
is primarily due to the growth in the size of our direct sales force. We have
increased average annual net sales per account by offering more product styles
and increasing the average annual net sales per style. We believe the increased
purchasing levels by our customers also reflect strong cooperative working
relationships in the area of fixturing and merchandising our coordinated product
line, and growing consumer recognition of our brand. We recognize revenue at the
time the product is shipped to the account, and there is no right to return
other than for defective products.

    As our sales volume has increased, we have continued to invest in management
and systems to strengthen our sales and marketing effort and to negotiate
improved cost arrangements with our suppliers through economies of scale. We
have also expanded our customer support, embroidery services and distribution
center operations. While these actions have resulted in an increase in operating
expenses as a percentage of net sales, we have continued to experience
improvements in gross margin.

    Our flagship retail store is located in Seattle and we have three additional
stores in Denver, Orlando and Mission Viejo. We have signed leases to open
additional stores in Las Vegas, Portland and Atlanta and we expect to open a
limited number of additional stores in selected metropolitan markets during the
remainder of this calendar year and beyond.

</TABLE>

    The $3.2 million increase in net sales to the golf distribution channel in
the third quarter of fiscal 2000 represented approximately 37.0% of the total
increase in net sales for the quarter. The growth in net sales to the golf
distribution channel is primarily attributable to an increase in the number of
golf pro shops purchasing Cutter & Buck products, an increase in the average
annual net sales per golf pro shop and increasing brand awareness. The increase
in the number of our golf pro shop customers is primarily due to the growth in
the size of our golf pro shop sales force that exclusively sells Cutter & Buck
products. Net sales through our European subsidiary, which are included in the
golf distribution channel figures, increased $0.4 million, or approximately
52.4%, to $1.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2000.

    Net sales through the corporate distribution channel increased $3.6 million,
or approximately 47.3%, to $11.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2000
from $7.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1999. The increase in corporate
sales during the third quarter of fiscal 2000 represented approximately 41.2% of
the total increase in net sales for the quarter. This increase is primarily
attributable to the increased size and effectiveness of our exclusive sales
force, the increase in the number of styles and inventory levels of our CLASSICS
products, improved relationships with a greater number of promotional products
companies that resell Cutter & Buck apparel to large corporate accounts and our
growing brand strength.

    Specialty store sales increased $1.2 million or approximately 43.4% to $4
million in the third quarter of fiscal 2000 representing approximately 12.6% of
our net sales in the quarter. Sales to other distribution channels, including
liquidation and company-owned retail, increased from $2.3 million in the third
quarter of fiscal 1999 to $3.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2000 but
decreased slightly as a percentage of net sales from 10.1% to 9.5%.

    COST OF SALES  In the third quarter of fiscal 2000, our cost of sales was
55.2% of net sales, compared to 57.3% in the third quarter of fiscal 1999. The
decrease during the third quarter of fiscal 2000 was primarily due to higher
production volumes which has given us the ability to expand our international
sourcing and increased our negotiating leverage to purchase product at lower
unit costs. In addition, we also benefited from a relatively lower proportion of
liquidation sales during the third quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to the same
period of the prior year. The gross margin improvement attributable to the
factors mentioned above was partially offset by higher unit embroidery costs
than a year ago due to increased costs and inefficiencies associated with moving
our embroidery operations to the new distribution center in December 1999.

    DESIGN AND PRODUCTION EXPENSE  Design and production expenses were up
approximately $0.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to the
third quarter of fiscal 1999. Although design and

                                       10
<PAGE>
production expenses increased, we were able to leverage these expenses over a
growing revenue base as they decreased as a percentage of net sales from 3.1% in
the third quarter of fiscal 1999 to 2.7% in the third quarter of fiscal 2000.
The dollar increase in production costs is attributable to the strengthening of
our embroidery development organization to support our growing embroidery
business and to personnel and travel costs associated with expanded product
sourcing. The dollar increase in design expense relates to additional personnel
costs to support our expanding sportswear collection including the women's line
and the golf footwear product extension.

    SELLING AND SHIPPING EXPENSE  Selling and shipping expenses increased by
$3.2 million, or 59.8%, to $8.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2000 from
$5.4 million in the same period in the prior year, and increased as a percentage
of net sales to 27.1% from 23.3%. The increase in selling expenses was
attributable to increased salaries and commissions, travel expense and sales
samples expense associated with a larger sales force and increased customer
service staffing, trade advertising and fixturing, and trade show costs
associated with higher sales volume. The increase in shipping expenses was due
to increased warehouse staffing expense, facilities costs and packaging supplies
costs directly associated with the Company's increased sales volumes and higher
levels of inventory. Costs associated with the move to the new distribution
center also contributed to the increase in shipping expenses. The store level
operating expenses relating to the Company-owned retail stores are also included
in selling and shipping expenses and reflect expenses associated with four
retail locations during most of the third quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to one
in the third quarter of fiscal 1999.

    GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE  General and administrative expenses
increased by $0.4 million, or 17.1%, to $2.7 million in the third quarter of
fiscal 2000 from $2.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1999. Although
general and administrative expenses increased, we were able to achieve
significant leverage in these expenses as they decreased as a percentage of
sales from 9.8% in the third quarter of fiscal 1999 to 8.4% in the third quarter
of fiscal 2000. The dollar increase during the third quarter of fiscal 2000 was
due to increased management and staffing, including a team hired to manage our
retail operations and a director of e-business development. The increased
general and administrative expenses in fiscal 2000 also reflected increased
depreciation expense associated with information technology initiatives and
corporate facilities. Since these expenses grew at a slower rate than the growth
in sales, general and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of net
sales.

    OPERATING INCOME  As a result of the above items, operating income increased
by $0.6 million, or 39.3%, to $2.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2000
from $1.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1999. Operating income as a
percentage of net sales increased from 6.5% in the third quarter of fiscal 1999
to 6.6% in the third quarter of fiscal 2000.

    INCOME TAXES  We recorded approximately $0.8 million of income tax expense
in the third quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to $0.6 million in the third
quarter of fiscal 1999 reflecting the increase in the profitability of the
Company. Income taxes for the third quarter of fiscal 2000 and 1999 are recorded
at an effective rate of 36%.

    The $10.1 million increase in net sales to the golf distribution channel for
the nine months ended January 31, 2000 represented approximately 32.5% of the
total increase in net sales when compared to the nine months ended January 31,
1999. The growth in net sales to the golf distribution channel is primarily
attributable to an increase in the number of golf pro shops purchasing Cutter &
Buck products, an increase in the average annual net sales per golf pro shop and
increasing brand awareness. The increase in the number of our golf pro shop
customers is primarily due to the growth in the size of our golf pro shop sales
force that exclusively sells Cutter & Buck products. Net sales through our
European subsidiary, which are included in the golf distribution channel
figures, increased $1 million, or approximately 32%, to $4.1 million for the
nine months ended January 31, 2000.

    Net sales through the corporate distribution channel increased $13.2
million, or approximately 62.8%, to $34.3 million for the nine months ended
January 31, 2000 from $21.1 million for the nine months ended January 31, 1999.
The increase in fiscal 2000 represented approximately 42.7% of the total
increase in net sales for the nine months ended January 31, 2000. This increase
is primarily attributable to the increased size and effectiveness of our
exclusive sales force, the increase in the number of styles and inventory levels
of our CLASSICS products, improved relationships with a greater number of
promotional products companies that resell Cutter & Buck apparel to large
corporate accounts and our growing brand strength.

    Specialty store sales increased $3.5 million or approximately 44.2% to $11.4
million for the nine months ended January 31, 2000, representing approximately
11.6% of our net sales for the year. Sales to other distribution channels,
including liquidation and Company-owned retail, increased from $4.6 million or
6.8% of net sales for the nine months ended January 31, 1999 to $8.8 million or
9.0% of net sales for the nine months ended January 31, 2000.

    COST OF SALES  For the nine months ended January 31, 2000, our cost of sales
was 55.9% of net sales, compared to 57.5% for the nine months ended January 31,
1999. The decrease during fiscal 2000 was primarily due to higher production
volumes which has given us the ability to expand our international sourcing and
increased our negotiating leverage to purchase product at lower unit costs.

    DESIGN AND PRODUCTION EXPENSES  Design and production expenses increased
from $2.2 million for the nine months ended January 31, 1999 to $2.5 million for
the nine months ended January 31, 2000, but decreased as a percentage of net
sales to 2.6% for the nine months ended January 31, 2000 from 3.2% for the nine
months ended January 31, 1999. The dollar increase was primarily attributable to
increased management and staffing costs to support our expanding sportswear
collection including the women's line and the golf footwear product, increased
embroidery design costs for the golf and corporate distribution

                                       12
<PAGE>
channels and increased expenses associated with our efforts to further diversify
product sourcing. These increases were more than offset by the benefits of
higher sales volume which resulted in an overall reduction in design and
production costs as a percentage of net sales during the nine months ended
January 31, 2000 compared to the nine months ended January 31, 1999.

    SELLING AND SHIPPING EXPENSES  Selling and shipping expenses increased from
$14.7 million for the nine months ended January 31, 1999 to $24.7 million for
the nine months ended January 31, 2000, and increased as a percentage of net
sales to 25.2% for the nine months ended January 31, 2000 from 21.9% for the
nine months ended January 31, 1999. The increase in selling expenses was
primarily attributable to increased salaries and commissions, travel expense and
sales samples expense associated with a larger sales force and increased
customer service staffing, trade advertising and fixturing, and trade show costs
associated with higher sales volume. The increase in shipping expenses was due
to increases in warehouse staffing expense, facilities costs and packaging
supplies costs directly associated with the Company's increased sales volumes
and higher levels of inventory. Expenses relating to the relocation of our
distribution center also contributed to the increase in shipping expenses for
the nine months ended January 31, 2000. The store level operating expenses
relating to the company-owned retail stores are also included in selling and
shipping expenses and reflect expenses associated with four retail locations as
of January 31, 2000 compared to one as of January 31, 1999.

    GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES  General and administrative expenses
increased by $1.8 million, or 28.9%, to $8.2 million for the nine months ended
January 31, 2000 from $6.4 million for the nine months ended January 31, 1999,
but decreased as a percentage of net sales to 8.4% for the nine months ended
January 31, 2000 from 9.5% for the nine months ended January 31, 1999. The
dollar increase during the nine months ended January 31, 2000 was primarily due
to increased management and staffing, including a team hired to manage our
retail operations and a director of e-business development and increased
depreciation expense associated with information technology initiatives and
corporate facilities. Since these expenses grew at a slower rate than the growth
in sales, general and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of net
sales.

    OPERATING INCOME  As a result of the above items, operating income increased
by $2.5 million, or 48.5%, to $7.7million for the nine months ended January 31,
2000 from $5.2 million for the nine months ended January 31, 1999. Operating
income as a percentage of net sales increased to 7.9% for the nine months ended
January 31, 2000 from 7.8% for the nine months ended January 31, 1999.

    INCOME TAXES  We recorded approximately $2.7 million of income tax expense
for the nine months ended January 31, 2000 compared to $1.9 million for the nine
months ended January 31, 1999 reflecting the increase in the profitability of
the Company. Income taxes for the nine months ended January 31, 2000 and 1999
are recorded at an effective rate of 36%.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    Our primary need for funds is to finance increased working capital to
support sales growth and to fund capital expenditures including Company-owned
retail stores and the new distribution center.

    Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended January 31,
2000 was $3.2 million compared to net cash used in operations of $7.4 million
for the nine months ended January 31, 1999. Net cash used in operating
activities for the nine months ended January 31, 2000 resulted from increases in
inventory of $15 million and income tax payments of $1.6 million. These
increases were partially offset by cash generated from profitable operations, a
reduction in accounts receivable of $3.6 million, increases in accounts payable
and accrued liabilities and depreciation and amortization. Approximately $5.6
million of the increase in inventory relates to FASHION merchandise, $4.3
million relates to our CLASSICS merchandise, $2.5 million relates to Europe, and
the balance of the increase relates primarily to embroidery work in process, our
new footwear product category and new retail store locations. The increase in

                                       13
<PAGE>
inventory was intentional and was designed to support our planned fourth quarter
sales, which historically, has been strong and also reflects early receipt of a
portion of this inventory as part of our year 2000 contingency plans. Inventory
levels are expected to decrease during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000. For
the nine months ended January 31, 1999, net cash used in operating activities
resulted from increases in inventory of $14.4 million, increases in prepaid
expenses and other current assets of $1.9 million and income tax payments of
$0.9 million. These increases were partially offset by cash generated from
profitable operations, a net decrease in accounts receivable of $2 million and
increases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $2.8 million. The
increase in inventory primarily relates to planned sales volume in the fourth
quarter and the need for the Company to have a sufficient stock of products with
multi-season appeal to service the corporate sales channel and other expedited
business.

    Net cash used in investing activities was $8.1 million for the nine months
ended January 31, 2000 and was primarily due to purchases of capital equipment.
Capital expenditures during this period included $2.3 million for in-store
fixtures, concept shops, a PGA merchandise tent and a PGA trade show booth,
$2.1 million for equipment and leasehold improvements associated with
Company-owned retail stores, $1.7 million for the new distribution center and
warehouse management system and $1.8 million for computer hardware and software,
leasehold improvements, and other furniture and equipment. Net cash used in
investing activities was $4.2 million for the nine months ended January 31, 1999
and was primarily attributable to investments in warehouse leasehold
improvements and equipment totaling $0.4 million, in-store fixtures of $1.2
million, $0.7 million for equipment and leasehold improvements associated with
Company-owned retail stores and $1.8 million for computer hardware and software,
leasehold improvements, and other furniture and equipment, and increases in
trademarks, patents and marketing rights of $0.1 million.

    Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended January
31, 2000 was approximately $21 million compared to $8 million during the nine
months ended January 31, 1999. During the nine months ended January 31, 2000,
the Company generated $29.3 million through the sale of common stock, the
exercise of stock options and the purchase of common stock under the employee
stock purchase plan. This was partially offset by the net repayment of $8.1
million of short-term borrowings and $0.2 million in capital lease payments. Net
cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended January 31,
1999 was primarily due to net short term borrowings of $6.3 million and $1.8
million in cash generated from the exercise of warrants and stock options and
the sale of common stock under the Company's employee stock purchase plan. These
proceeds were partially offset by capital lease payments of $0.2 million.

    We are a party to a loan agreement with Washington Mutual Bank d/b/a Western
Bank for a $40 million line of credit. Our Dutch subsidiary, Cutter & Buck
(Europe) B.V., is a party to a loan agreement with Cooperatieve Rabobank
"Huizen" B.A., or Rabobank, for a $4.4 million line of credit. Both of these
lines of credit are more fully described in footnote four to the Company's
financial statements on page seven hereof.

YEAR 2000

    To date, the Company has not experienced any significant disruptions in its
operations relating to year 2000 issues. However, it is not possible to conclude
that all aspects of the year 2000 issue that may affect the Company, including
those relating to third parties with whom the Company has material business
relationships (such as suppliers, customers and other general service
providers), have been resolved. To date, the costs to address the Company's year
2000 issues have not exceeded $100,000 and all costs incurred have been
expensed.

PART II--OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

    In August 1999, the Company reached a settlement of the two
previously-described lawsuits related to labor issues in Saipan. The settlement
involves both a monetary payment which had no material impact on the Company's
financial position or results of operations, and a monitoring component which
requires all future Company contracts for the manufacture of garments in Saipan
to include a requirement that the manufacturer maintain compliance with certain
minimum workplace and living standards. The settlement of the federal court
action is subject to court approval applicable to class actions of this nature.
No hearing has been set to date. The Company is also party to routine litigation
incidental to its business. Management believes the ultimate resolution of these
matters will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position and
results of operations.
