                                 MOSSIMO, INC.
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


      1.   Basis of Presentation
           ---------------------
      The accompanying financial statements of Mossimo, Inc. ("Mossimo"
      or the "Company") have been prepared pursuant to the rules and
      regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). 
      Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
      footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
      ("GAAP") for complete financial statements.  The financial
      statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
      statements and notes thereto included in the Company's registration
      statement on Form S-1 (33-80597) declared effective by the SEC on
      February 21, 1996.

      In the opinion of management, the financial statements contain all
      adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments,
      necessary for a fair statement of the balance sheets as of
      December 31, 1995 and March 31, 1996, the statements of income for
      the three month periods ended March 31, 1995 and 1996, and the
      statements of cash flows for the three month periods ended
      March 31, 1995 and 1996.  Operating results for the three month
      period ended March 31, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the
      results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year ending
      December 31, 1996.

      On February 15, 1996, the company effected a 13,000-for-one stock
      split of its common stock.  All share and per share amounts
      included in the accompanying financial statements and footnotes
      have been restated to reflect the stock split.

      2.   Initial Public Offering
           -----------------------
      In February 1996, the Company completed an initial public offering
      of 2,000,000 shares of its common stock for $18 per share, netting
      proceeds to the Company after underwriting discounts and expenses
      of approximately $32.4 million.  Proceeds to the Company were used
      to repay indebtedness consisting of $5.6 million in outstanding
      advances under the Company's factoring agreement and pay
      $17.2 million in connection with the final S corporation
      distribution.  (See Note 5.)  The remaining proceeds will be used
      for general corporate purposes, including the construction of
      in-store shops and tenant improvements and equipment for a new
      headquarters and distribution facility expected to be occupied by
      the Company in the first half of 1997.

      3.   Pro Forma Data
           --------------
      PRO FORMA NET INCOME - Pro forma net income represents the results
      of operations adjusted to reflect a provision for income taxes on
      historical income before provision for income taxes, which gives
      effect to the change in the Company's income tax status to a
      C corporation as a result of the public sale of its common stock. 


                                  Page 7 of 55                     <PAGE>


      The principal difference between the pro forma income tax rate and
      the federal statutory rate of 35% relates to state income taxes.

      PRO FORMA NET INCOME PER SHARE - Historical net income per common
      share is not presented because it is not indicative of the ongoing
      entity.

      Pro forma net income per share has been computed by dividing pro
      forma net income by the weighted average number of shares of common
      stock outstanding during the period.

      4.   Income Taxes
           ------------
      Prior to February 27, 1996, the Company had elected to be taxed as
      an S corporation under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code
      and similar statutes in the State of California.  Accordingly, the
      Company's taxable income was treated as if it were distributed to
      the sole stockholder, who was responsible for payment of taxes
      thereon.  In addition, the Company was subject to a California
      franchise tax rate of 1.5%.  Effective February 27, 1996, the
      Company converted to a C corporation and became subject to Federal
      and State income taxes on an ongoing basis.  As a result, the
      Company recorded $700,000 of deferred income tax assets on
      February 27, 1996.

      5.   Stockholders' Equity
           --------------------
      In conjunction with its initial public offering, the Company
      terminated its S corporation status and distributed to its
      stockholder $17.2 million representing previously earned and
      undistributed taxable S corporation earnings as of February 27,
      1996 in the form of promissory notes (S distribution notes) .  The
      estimated remaining amount payable to stockholder for previously
      earned and undistributed taxable S corporation earnings under the S
      distribution notes was $150,000 at March 31, 1996.

      In accordance with a regulation of the Securities and Exchange
      Commission, the Company reclassified $1,624,000 to additional paid
      in capital for that portion of the previously earned and
      undistributed taxable S corporation earnings at February 27, 1996
      which was in excess of the balance of retained earnings at such
      date.

      6.   Credit Agreement
           ----------------
      In February 1996, the Company entered into a $10 million unsecured
      line of credit with a bank.  The credit agreement contains certain
      restrictive covenants that require the maintenance of various
      financial levels and ratios and prohibits the payment of dividends
      by the Company.

      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
      RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                The following discussion includes the operations of
      Mossimo for each of the periods discussed.  This discussion and
      analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company's
      Registration Statement on Form S-1 (33-80597) declared effective by
      the SEC on February 21, 1996.


      Results of Operations
      ---------------------
                The following table sets forth pro forma operating
      results (as a percentage of net sales), for the periods indicated. 
      Pro forma operations reflect adjustments to historical operating
      results for federal and state income taxes as if the Company had
      been taxed as a C Corporation rather than an S Corporation.

      Three Months Ended March 31, 1996 and 1995
      ------------------------------------------
                Net sales increased 45.3% to $24.4 million in 1996 from
      $16.8 million in 1995, an increase of $7.6 million.  The Company's
      increase in net sales was principally driven by increased sales to
      new and existing wholesale customers as they expanded their
      purchases to include a more complete line of Mossimo products. 
      Men's activewear represented approximately 53.4% of the Company's
      net sales in 1996, representing an increase of approximately 16.9%
      over men's activewear net sales in 1995.  Men's sportswear
      represented approximately 42.3% of the Company's net sales in 1996,
      representing an increase of approximately 109.5% over such sales in
      1995, primarily as a result of increased sales of knit and woven
      shirts.  Net sales of the Company's eyewear increased approximately
      24.5% to $581,000 in 1996 from $467,000 in the comparable period in
      1995.

                Gross profit increased to $10.5 million in 1996 from
      $7.9 million in 1995.  Gross profit as a percentage of net sales
      decreased to 43.1% in 1996, from 46.7% in 1995.  The decrease
      resulted primarily from a change in the mix of sales with
      sportswear representing a higher percentage of sales in 1996 than
      in 1995.

                Royalty income increased 21.2% to $1.3 million in 1996
      from $1.1 million in 1995, primarily due to increased sales by the
      Company's women's swimwear and bodywear licensee and, to a lesser
      extent, increased sales by the Company's Canadian licensee.

                Operating expenses increased to $5.0 million in 1996 from
      $3.4 million in 1995.  Operating expenses increased in all
      categories.  Selling expense increased to $2.2 million in 1996 from
      $1.4 million in 1995 primarily as a result of commissions on higher
      levels of sales.  Increases in general and administrative
      ($1.7 million in 1996 compared to $1.3 million in 1995), marketing
      ($662,000 in 1996 compared to $545,000 in 1995) and design
      ($453,000 in 1996 compared to $202,000 in 1995) expenses reflect in
      part increases in staffing levels necessary to manage higher levels
      of net sales and the expansion of the Company's product offerings,
      including men's sportswear and the anticipated introduction of a
      women's line.  Marketing increases also reflected increased levels
      of advertising in 1996 over 1995.  Operating expenses as a
      percentage of net sales increased from 20.5% in 1995 to 20.6% in
      1996.

                Interest expense increased to $62,000 in 1996 compared to
      none in 1995.  The increase was attributable to cash advances from
      the Company's factor during portions of the 1996 quarter.

                Due to the Corporation's conversion to a C corporation in
      1996, the provision for income taxes increased from $97,000 in the
      1995 period to $910,000 in the 1996 period.

      Liquidity and Capital Resources
      -------------------------------
                Historically, the Company has relied primarily upon
      internally generated funds supplemented by borrowings as needed to
      finance its operations and make distributions to its stockholder. 
      Cash used by operating activities (including changes in amounts due
      to or from its factor) totaled $4.5 million and $967,000 in the
      1996 and 1995 periods, respectively.  Cash used by the Company's
      investing activities totaled $185,000 and $28,000 in the 1996 and
      1995 periods, respectively, primarily for the purchase of property
      and equipment.  Cash provided by financing activities in 1996
      totaled $15.6 million, principally reflecting the net proceeds of
      the sale of the common stock in the Company's initial public
      offering less dividends paid to its stockholder prior to such
      offering.  Cash provided by financing activities in 1995 totaled
      $693,000.  At March 31, 1996, the Company had working capital of
      $33.3 million.

                Capital expenditures totaled $185,000 and $104,000 in the
      1996 and 1995 periods, respectively.  Capital expenditures in 1996
      primarily included funds for construction of additional in-store
      shops.  

                In May 1996, the Company entered into a 10 year lease for
      its new headquarters and distribution facility in Irvine,
      California which it expects to occupy in the first or second
      quarter of 1997.  The Company anticipates that it will incur
      approximately $2.5 million in capital expenditures in connection
      with such facility primarily for tenant improvements and equipment. 
      The Company intends to finance its capital expenditures with a
      combination of proceeds from its initial public offering, cash
      generated from operations and lessor financing.

                Historically, the Company has sold a substantial portion
      of its trade accounts receivable to a factor which assumes the
      credit risk with respect to collection of such accounts.  The
      factor pays the Company the receivable amount after the factor
      receives payment from the Company's customer or, if earlier,
      shortly following the bankruptcy or insolvency of the customer or
      when the receivable becomes 120 days past due.  The Company may
      request advances against a percentage, determined by the factor, of
      the qualifying accounts receivable factored at any time before
      their maturity date.  The factor charges a commission on the net
      sales factored and interest at a negotiated rate over prime on
      advances.  The factor approves the credit of the Company's
      customers prior to sale.  If the factor disapproves a sale to a
      customer and the Company decides to proceed with the sale, the
      Company may factor or retain the receivable but will bear the
      credit risk in either case.  In addition, the Company does not
      factor receivables from certain accounts at its election.  The
      amount of receivables for which the Company bore the credit risk
      was $1.9 million at March 31, 1996 and $1.4 million at December 31,
      1995.  The factoring agreement can be terminated at any time by the
      factor upon 180 days prior notice.  Advances on accounts sold to
      the factor are payable on demand.  The factoring agreement includes
      a letter of credit facility.  All obligations under the factoring

                                 Page 11 of 55                     <PAGE>


      agreement are collateralized by the Company's inventory.  The
      Company has entered into an agreement for an unsecured $10 million
      line of credit from a bank to supplement the liquidity provided by
      the factoring agreement.  There were no outstanding borrowings
      under the line of credit at March 31, 1996.  Such credit agreement
      requires the maintenance of various financial levels and ratios,
      which could limit amounts available to be borrowed under the line.

                By reason of the Company's treatment as an S corporation
      for federal and state income tax purposes, the Company historically
      has provided to its principal stockholder funds for the payment of
      income taxes on the earnings of the Company.  In addition, the
      Company has historically paid dividends to its principal
      stockholder to provide a return on investment.  In connection with
      its initial public offering, the Company's S corporation status was
      terminated and the Company declared the final S corporation
      distribution of its previously undistributed earnings.  For the
      three months ended March 31, 1996, the Company paid dividends,
      including amounts attributable to the payment of taxes and the
      final S corporation distribution of $17.2 million.  For the
      foreseeable future, earnings will be retained in the operations of
      the business.

                The Company believes that funds generated from
      operations, the net proceeds of its initial public offering and
      available borrowing sources will be sufficient to meet operating
      needs and capital expenditures for the next 12 months.

      Seasonality
      -----------
                The Company's business is impacted by the general
      seasonal trends that are characteristic of the apparel industry. 
      However, due primarily to the significant growth that the Company
      has experienced, quarterly sales and profit treads have not
      reflected the normal apparel industry seasonality.  During 1996 and
      in future years, the Company expects that its sales may reflect
      greater seasonal trends as its growth rate moderates and as men's
      and women's sportswear become a larger percentage of apparel sales.

      Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements
      ------------------------------------------
                In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
      issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123,
      "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which will be effective
      for the Company beginning January 1, 1996.  SFAS No. 123 requires
      expanded disclosures of stock-based compensation arrangements with
      employees and encourages (but does not require) compensation cost
      to be measured based on the fair value of the equity instrument
      awarded.  Companies are permitted, however, to continue to apply
      APB Opinion No. 25, which recognizes compensation cost based on the
      intrinsic value of the equity instrument awarded.  The Company will
      continue to apply APB Opinion No. 25 to its stock based
      compensation awards to employees.

                                    EXHIBIT 10.1

                                  CREDIT AGREEMENT


               THIS AGREEMENT is entered into as of February 27, 1996 by

          and between MOSSIMO, INC., a Delaware corporation ("Borrower"),

          and WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION ("Bank").



                                      RECITAL

               Borrower has requested from Bank the credit accommodation

          described below, and Bank has agreed to provide said credit

          accommodation to Borrower on the terms and conditions contained

          herein;

               NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt

          and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Bank and

          Borrower hereby agree as follows:



                                     ARTICLE I

                                     THE CREDIT

               SECTION 1.1.   LINE OF CREDIT.

               (a)  LINE OF CREDIT.  Subject to the terms and conditions

          of this Agreement, Bank hereby agrees to make advances to

          Borrower from time to time up to and including April 1, 1997,

          not to exceed at any time the aggregate principal amount of Ten

          Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00) ("Line of Credit"), the

          proceeds of which shall be used for Borrower's general

          corporate purposes.  Borrower's obligation to repay advances

          under the Line of Credit shall be evidenced by a promissory

          note substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto

                                        -1-

                                 Page 16 of 55                     <PAGE>


          ("Line of Credit Note"), all terms of which are incorporated

          herein by this reference.

               (b)  LETTER OF CREDIT SUBFEATURE.  As a subfeature under

          the Line of Credit, Bank agrees from time to time during the

          term thereof to issue standby and sight commercial letters of

          credit for the account of Borrower for general corporate

          purposes (each, a "Letter of Credit" and collectively, "Letters

          of Credit"); provided however, that the form and substance of

          each Letter of Credit shall be subject to approval by Bank, in

          its sole discretion; and provided further, that the aggregate

          undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit shall not

          at any time exceed Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00).  Each

          commercial Letter of Credit shall be issued for a term not to

          exceed one hundred eighty (180) days, as designated by

          Borrower; each standby Letter of Credit shall be issued for a

          term not to exceed three hundred sixty-five (365) days, as

          designated by Borrower; provided however, that no Letter of

          Credit shall have an expiration date subsequent to October 1,

          1997.  The undrawn amount of all Letters of Credit shall be

          reserved under the Line of Credit and shall not be available

          for borrowings thereunder.  Each Letter of Credit shall be

          subject to the additional terms and conditions of the Letter of

          Credit Agreement and related documents, if any, required by

          Bank in connection with the issuance thereof (each, a "Letter

          of Credit Agreement" and collectively, "Letter of Credit

          Agreements").  Each draft paid by Bank under a Letter of Credit




                                        -2-

                                 Page 17 of 55                     <PAGE>


          shall be deemed an advance under the Line of Credit and shall

          be repaid by Borrower in accordance with the terms and

          conditions of this Agreement applicable to such advances;

          provided however, that if advances under the Line of Credit are

          not available, for any reason whatsoever, at the time any draft

          is paid by Bank, then the full amount of such draft shall be

          immediately due and payable, together with interest thereon,

          from the date such amount is paid by Bank to the date such

          amount is fully repaid by Borrower, at the rate of interest

          applicable to advances under the Line of Credit.  In such event

          Borrower agrees that Bank, at Bank's sole discretion, may debit

          any demand deposit account maintained by Borrower with Bank for

          the amount of any such draft.

               (c)  BORROWING AND REPAYMENT.  Borrower may from time to

          time during the term of the Line of Credit borrow, partially or

          wholly repay its outstanding borrowings, and reborrow, subject

          to all of the limitations, terms and conditions contained

          herein or in the Line of Credit Note; provided however, that

          the total outstanding borrowings under the Line of Credit shall

          not at any time exceed the maximum principal amount available

          thereunder, as set forth above.

               SECTION 1.2.   INTEREST/FEES.

               (a)  INTEREST.  The outstanding principal balance of the

          Line of Credit shall bear interest at the rate of interest set

          forth in the Line of Credit Note.

               (b)  COMPUTATION AND PAYMENT.  Interest shall be computed

          on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed.  Interest

          shall be payable at the times and place set forth in the Line

          of Credit Note.

               (c)  COMMITMENT FEE.  In addition to the $10,000 non-

          refundable commitment fee which was paid by Borrower to Bank at

          the time Borrower accepted Bank's commitment letter for the

          Line of Credit, Borrower shall pay to Bank a non-refundable

          commitment fee for the Line of Credit equal to $40,000.00,

          which additional fee shall be due and payable at the time this

          Agreement is executed by Borrower and delivered to Bank.

               (d)  UNUSED COMMITMENT FEE.  Borrower shall pay to Bank an

          unused facility fee equal to one-quarter percent (0.25%) per

          annum (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days

          elapsed) on the average daily unused amount of the Line of

          Credit, which fee shall be calculated on a quarterly basis by

          Bank and shall be due and payable by Borrower in arrears on the

          last day of each quarter.

               (e)  COMMERCIAL LETTER OF CREDIT FEES.  Borrower shall pay

          to Bank fees upon the issuance of each commercial Letter of

          Credit, upon the payment or negotiation by Bank of each draft

          under any commercial Letter of Credit and upon the occurrence

          of any other activity with respect to any commercial Letter of

          Credit (including without limitation, the transfer, amendment

          or cancellation of any commercial Letter of Credit) determined






                                        -4-

                                 Page 19 of 55                     <PAGE>


          in accordance with Bank's standard fees and charges then in

          effect for such activity.

               (f)  STANDBY LETTER OF CREDIT FEES.  Borrower shall pay to

          Bank (i) fees upon the issuance of each Standby Letter of

          Credit equal to one and one-half percent (1.50%) per annum

          (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed)

          of the face amount thereof, and (ii) fees upon the payment or

          negotiation by Bank of each draft under any standby Letter of

          Credit and upon the occurrence of any other activity with

          respect to any standby Letter of Credit (including without

          limitation, the transfer, amendment or cancellation of any

          standby Letter of Credit) determined in accordance with Bank's

          standard fees and charges then in effect for such activity.

               SECTION 1.3.   COLLECTION OF PAYMENTS.  Borrower

          authorizes Bank to collect all interest and fees due under the

          Line of Credit by charging Borrower's demand deposit account

          number 4600209340 with Bank, or any other demand deposit

          account maintained by Borrower with Bank, for the full amount

          thereof.  Should there be insufficient funds in any such demand

          deposit account to pay all such sums when due, the full amount

          of such deficiency shall be immediately due and payable by

          Borrower.

                                     ARTICLE II

                           REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

               Borrower makes the following representations and

          warranties to Bank, which representations and warranties shall

          survive the execution of this Agreement and shall continue in

          full force and effect until the full and final payment, and

          satisfaction and discharge, of all obligations of Borrower to

          Bank subject to this Agreement.

               SECTION 2.1.   LEGAL STATUS.  Borrower is a corporation,

          duly organized and existing and in good standing under the laws

          of the State of Delaware, and is qualified or licensed to do

          business (and is in good standing as a foreign corporation, if

          applicable) in all jurisdictions in which the failure to so

          qualify or to be so licensed could have a material adverse

          effect on Borrower.

               SECTION 2.2.   AUTHORIZATION AND VALIDITY.  This

          Agreement, the Line of Credit Note, and each other document,

          contract and instrument required hereby or at any time

          hereafter delivered to Bank in connection herewith

          (collectively, the "Loan Documents") have been duly authorized,

          and upon their execution and delivery in accordance with the

          provisions hereof will constitute legal, valid and binding

          agreements and obligations of Borrower or the party which

          executes the same, enforceable in accordance with their

          respective terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be

          affected by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting




                                        -6-

                                 Page 21 of 55                     <PAGE>


          the enforcement of creditors' rights generally, and except as

          the availability of certain equitable remedies may be limited

          by certain equitable principles of general applicability.

               SECTION 2.3.   NO VIOLATION.  The execution, delivery and

          performance by Borrower of each of the Loan Documents do not

          violate any provision of any law or regulation, or contravene

          any provision of the Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws of

          Borrower or result in any breach of or default under any

          contract, obligation, indenture or other instrument to which

          Borrower is a party or by which Borrower may be bound.

               SECTION 2.4.   LITIGATION.  There are no pending, or to

          the best of Borrower's knowledge threatened, actions, claims,

          investigations, suits or proceedings by or before any

          governmental authority, arbitrator, court or administrative

          agency which could have a material adverse effect on the

          financial condition or operation of Borrower other than those

          disclosed by Borrower to Bank in writing prior to the date

          hereof.

               SECTION 2.5.   CORRECTNESS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT.  The

          financial statement of Borrower dated September 30, 1995, a

          true copy of which has been delivered by Borrower to Bank prior

                           REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT NOTE


          $10,000,000.00                          Los Angeles, California
                                                        February 27, 1996


               FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned MOSSIMO, INC.
          ("Borrower") promises to pay to the order of WELLS FARGO BANK,
          NATIONAL ASSOCIATION ("Bank") at its office at Los Angeles
          RCBO, 333 S. Grand Avenue, 3rd Floor, Los Angeles, California,
          or at such other place as the holder hereof may designate, in
          lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately
          available funds, the principal sum of Ten Million Dollars
          ($10,000,000.00), or so much thereof as may be advanced and be
          outstanding, with interest thereon, to be computed on each
          advance from the date of its disbursement (computed on the
          basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) either (i) at a
          fluctuating rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate in effect
          from time to time, or (ii) at a fixed rate per annum determined
          by Bank to be two and one-quarter percent (2.25%) above Bank's
          LIBOR in effect on the first day of the applicable Fixed Rate
          Term.  When interest is determined in relation to the Prime
          Rate, each change in the rate of interest hereunder shall
          become effective on the date each Prime Rate change is
          announced within Bank.  With respect to each LIBOR option
          selected hereunder, Bank is hereby authorized to note the date,
          principal amount, interest rate and Fixed Rate Term applicable
          thereto and any payments made thereon on Bank's books and
          records (either manually or by electronic entry) and/or on any
          schedule attached to this Note, which notations shall be prima
          facie evidence of the accuracy of the information noted.

          A.  DEFINITIONS:

               As used herein, the following terms shall have the
          meanings set forth after each:

               1.   "Business Day" means any day except a Saturday,
          Sunday or any other day, designated as a holiday under Federal
          or California statute or regulation.

               2.   "Fixed Rate Term" means a period commencing on a
          Business Day and continuing for thirty (30) or sixty (60) days,
          as designated by Borrower, during which all or a portion of the
          outstanding principal balance of this Note bears interest
          determined in relation to Bank's LIBOR; provided however, that
          no Fixed Rate Term may be selected for a principal amount less
          than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00); and provided
          further, that no Fixed Rate Term shall extend beyond the



                                        -1-

                                 Page 46 of 55                     <PAGE>


          scheduled maturity date hereof.  If any Fixed Rate Term would
          end on a day which is not a Business Day, then such Fixed Rate
          Term shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day.

               3.   "LIBOR" means the rate per annum (rounded upward, if
          necessary, to the nearest whole 1/8 of 1%) and determined
          pursuant to the following formula:

                                        Base LIBOR
                    LIBOR  =  -------------------------------
                              100% - LIBOR Reserve Percentage

                    (a)  "Base LIBOR" means the rate per annum for United
          States dollar deposits quoted by Bank as the Inter-Bank Market
          Offered Rate, with the understanding that such rate is quoted
          by Bank for the purpose of calculating effective rates of
          interest for loans making reference thereto, on the first day
          of a Fixed Rate Term for delivery of funds on said date for a
          period of time approximately equal to the number of days in
          such Fixed Rate Term and in an amount approximately equal to
          the principal amount which such Fixed Rate Term applies. 
          Borrower understands and agrees that Bank may base its
          quotation of the Inter-Bank Market Offered Rate upon such
          offers or other market indicators of the Inter-Bank Market as
          Bank in its discretion deems appropriate including, but not
          limited to, the rate offered for U.S. dollar deposits on the
          London Inter-Bank Market.

               (b)  "LIBOR Reserve Percentage" means the reserve
          percentage prescribed by the Board of Governors of the Federal
          Reserve System (or any successor) for "Eurocurrency
          Liabilities" (as defined in Regulation D of the Federal Reserve
          Board, as amended), adjusted by Bank for expected changes in
          such reserve percentage during the applicable Fixed Rate Term.

               4.   "Prime Rate" means at any time the rate of interest
          most recently announced within Bank at its principal office in
          San Francisco as its Prime Rate, with the understanding that
          the Prime Rate is one of Bank's base rates and serves as the
          basis upon which effective rates of interest are calculated for
          those loans making reference thereto, and is evidenced by the
          recording thereof after its announcement in such internal
          publication or publications as Bank may designate.

          B.   INTEREST:

               1.   PAYMENT OF INTEREST.  Interest accrued on this Note
          shall be payable on the first day of each month, commencing
          April, 1996; provided however that interest at a fixed rate
          determined in relation to Bank's LIBOR shall be payable at the
          end of the Fixed Rate Term applicable thereto.




                                        -2-

               2.   SELECTION OF INTEREST RATE OPTIONS.  At any time any
          portion of this Note bears interest determined in relation to
          Bank's LIBOR, it may be continued by Borrower at the end of the
          Fixed Rate Term applicable thereto so that all or a portion
          thereof bears interest determined in relation to the Prime Rate
          or in relation to Bank's LIBOR for a new Fixed Rate Term
          designated by Borrower.  At any time any portion of this Note
          bears interest determined in relation to the Prime Rate,
          Borrower may convert all or a portion thereof so that it bears
          interest determined in relation to Bank's LIBOR for a Fixed
          Rate Term designated by Borrower.  At the time each advance is
          requested hereunder or Borrower wishes to select the LIBOR
          option for all or a portion of the outstanding principal
          balance hereof, and at the end of each Fixed Rate Term,
          Borrower shall give Bank notice specifying (a) the interest
          rate option selected by Borrower, (b) the principal amount
          subject thereto, and (c) if the LIBOR option is selected, the
          length of the applicable Fixed Rate Term.  Any such notice may
          be given by telephone so long as, with respect to each LIBOR
          selection, (i) Bank receives written confirmation from Borrower
          not later than three (3) Business Days after such telephone
          notice is given, and (ii) such notice is given to Bank prior to
          10:00 a.m., California time, on the first day of the Fixed Rate
          Term.  For each LIBOR option requested hereunder, Bank will
          quote the applicable fixed rate to Borrower at approximately
          10:00 a.m., California time, on the first day of the Fixed Rate
          Term.  If Borrower does not immediately accept the rate quoted
          by Bank, any subsequent acceptance by Borrower shall be subject
          to a redetermination by Bank of the applicable fixed rate;
          provided however, that if Borrower fails to accept any such
          rate by 11:00 a.m., California time, on the Business Day such
          quotation is given, then the quoted rate shall expire and Bank
          shall have no obligation to permit a LIBOR option to be
          selected on such day.  If no specific designation of interest
          is made at the time any advance is requested hereunder or at
          the end of any Fixed Rate Term, Borrower shall be deemed to
          have made a Prime Rate interest selection for such advance or
          the principal amount to which such Fixed Rate Term applied.

               3.   ADDITIONAL LIBOR PROVISIONS.

               (a)  If Bank at any time shall determine that for any
          reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for
          ascertaining Bank's LIBOR, then Bank shall promptly give notice
          thereof to Borrower.  If such notice is given and until such
          notice has been withdrawn by Bank, than (i) no new LIBOR option
          may be selected by Borrower, and, (ii) any portion of the
          outstanding principal balance hereof which bears interest
          determined in relation to Bank's LIBOR, subsequent to the end
          of the Fixed Rate Term applicable thereto, shall bear interest
          determined in relation to the Prime Rate.




                                        -3-

                                 Page 48 of 55                     <PAGE>


               (b)  If any law, treaty, rule, regulation or determination
          of a court or governmental authority or any change therein or
          in the interpretation or application thereof (each, a "Change
          in Law") shall make it unlawful for Bank (i) to make LIBOR
          options available hereunder, or (ii) to maintain interest rates
          based on Bank's LIBOR, then in the former event, any obligation
          of Bank to make available such unlawful LIBOR options shall
          immediately be cancelled, and in the latter event, any such
          unlawful LIBOR-based interest rates then outstanding shall be
          converted, at Bank's option, so that interest on the portion of
          the outstanding principal balance subject thereto is determined
          in relation to the Prime Rate; provided however, that if any
          such Change in Law shall permit any LIBOR-based interest rates
          to remain in effect until the expiration of the Fixed Rate Term
          applicable thereto, then such Permitted LIBOR-based interest
          rates shall continue in effect until the expiration of such
          Fixed Rate Term.  Upon occurrence of any of the foregoing
          events, Borrower shall pay to Bank immediately upon demand such
          amounts as may be necessary to compensate Bank for any fines, 
          fees, charges, penalties or other costs incurred or payable by
          Bank as a result thereof and which are attributable to any 
          LIBOR options made available to Borrower hereunder, and any
          reasonable allocation made by Bank among its operations shall
          be conclusive and binding upon Borrower.

               (c)  If any Change in Law or compliance by Bank with any
          request or directive (whether or not having the force of law)
          from any central bank or other governmental authority shall:

               (i)  subject Bank to any tax, duty or other charge with
                    respect to any LIBOR options, or change the basis of
                    taxation of payments to Bank of principal, interest,
                    fees or any other amount payable hereunder (except
                    for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net
                    income of Bank); or

              (ii)  impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve,
                    special deposit, compulsory loan or similar
                    requirement against assets held by, deposits or other
                    liabilities in or for the account of, advances or
                    loans by, or any other acquisition of funds by any
                    office of Bank; or

             (iii)  impose on Bank any other condition;

          and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost
          to Bank of making, renewing or maintaining any LIBOR options
          hereunder and/or to reduce any amount receivable by Bank in
          connection therewith, then in any such case, Borrower shall pay
          to Bank immediately upon demand such amounts as may be
          necessary to compensate Bank for any additional costs incurred
          by Bank and/or reductions in amounts received by Bank which are



                                        -4-

                                 Page 49 of 55                     <PAGE>


          attributable to such LIBOR options.  In determining which costs
          incurred by Bank and/or reductions in amounts received by Bank
          are attributable to any LIBOR options made available to
          Borrower hereunder, any reasonable allocation made by Bank
          among its operations shall be conclusive and binding upon
          Borrower.

               4.   DEFAULT INTEREST.  From and after the maturity date
          of this Note, or such earlier date as all principal owing
          hereunder becomes due and payable by acceleration or otherwise,
          the outstanding principal balance of this Note shall bear
          interest until paid in full at an increased rate per annum
          (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed)
          equal to two percent (2%) above the rate of interest from time
          to time applicable to this Note.

          C.   BORROWING AND REPAYMENT:

               1.   BORROWING AND REPAYMENT.  Borrower may from time to
          time during the term of this Note borrow, partially or repay
          its outstanding borrowings, and reborrow, subject to all of the
          limitations terms and conditions of this Note and of any
          document executed in connection with or governing this Note;
          provided however, that the total outstanding borrowings under
          this Note shall not at any time exceed the principal amount
          stated above.  The unpaid principal balance of this obligation
          at any time shall be the total amounts advanced hereunder by
          the holder hereof less the amount of principal payments made
          hereon by or for any Borrower, which balance may be endorsed
          hereon from time to time by the holder.  The outstanding
          principal balance of this Note shall be due and payable in full
          on April 1, 1997.

               2.   ADVANCES.  Advances hereunder, to the total amount of
          the principal sum stated above, may be made by the holder at
          the oral or written request of (a) Mossimo Giannulli or Eric
          Hohl, any one acting alone, who are authorized to request
          advances and direct the disposition of any advances until
          written notice of the revocation of such authority is received
          by the holder at the office designated above, or (b) any
          person, with respect to advances deposited to the credit of any
          account of any Borrower with the holder, which advances, when
          so deposited, shall be conclusively presumed to have been made
          to or for the benefit of each Borrower regardless of the fact
          that persons other than those authorized to request advances
          may have authority to draw against such account.  The holder
          shall have no obligation to determine whether any person
          requesting an advance is or has been authorized by any
          Borrower.

               3.   APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS.  Each payment made on this
          Note shall be credited first, to any interest then due and



                                        -5-

                                 Page 50 of 55                     <PAGE>


          second, to the outstanding principal balance hereof.  All
          payments credited to principal shall be applied first, to the
          outstanding principal balance of this Note which bears interest
          determined in relation to the Prime Rate, if any, and second,
          to the outstanding principal balance of this Note which bears
          interest determined in relation to Bank's LIBOR.  In the event
          there is more than one outstanding Fixed Rate Term at the time
          such payments are to be applied to the outstanding principal
          balance of this Note which bears interest determined in
          relation to Bank's LIBOR, then such payments shall be applied
          to such Fixed Rate Terms in such order as may be designated by
          Borrower at the time such payments are made.  In the absence of
          such a designation by Borrower, such payments shall be applied
          to the oldest Fixed Rate Term first.

               4.   PREPAYMENT.

               (a)  PRIME RATE.  Borrower may prepay principal on any
          portion of this Note which bears interest determined in
          relation to the Prime Rate at any time, in any amount and
          without penalty.

               (b)  LIBOR.  Borrower may prepay principal on any portion
          of this Note which bears interest determined in relation to
          Bank's LIBOR at any time and in the minimum amount of One
          Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00); provided however, that
          if the outstanding principal balance of such portion of this
          Note is less than said amount, the minimum prepayment amount
          shall be the entire outstanding principal balance thereof.  In
          consideration of Bank providing this prepayment option to
          Borrower, or if any such portion of this Note shall become due
          and payable at any time prior to the last day of the Fixed Rate
          Term applicable thereto by acceleration or otherwise, Borrower
          shall pay to Bank immediately upon demand a fee which is the
          sum of the discounted monthly differences for each month from
          the month of prepayment through the month in which such Fixed
          Rate Term matures, calculated as follows for each such month:

               (i)  DETERMINE the amount of interest which would have
                    accrued each month on the amount prepaid at the
                    interest rate applicable to such amount had it
                    remained outstanding until the last day of the Fixed
                    Rate Term applicable thereto.

              (ii)  SUBTRACT from the amount determined in (i) above the
                    amount of interest which would have accrued for the
                    same month on the amount prepaid for the remaining
                    term of such Fixed Rate Term at Bank's LIBOR in
                    effect on the date of prepayment for new loans made
                    for such term and in a principal amount equal to the
                    amount prepaid.




                                        -6-

                                 Page 51 of 55                     <PAGE>


             (iii)  If the result obtained in (ii) for any month is
                    greater than zero, discount that difference by Bank's
                    LIBOR used in (ii) above.

          Borrower acknowledges that prepayment of such amount may result
          in Bank incurring additional costs, expenses and/or
          liabilities, and that it is difficult to ascertain the full
          extent of such costs, expenses and/or liabilities.  Borrower,
          therefore, agrees to pay the above-described prepayment fee and
          agrees that said amount represents a reasonable estimate of the
          prepayment costs, expenses and/or liabilities of Bank.  If
          Borrower fails to pay any prepayment fee when due, the amount
          of such prepayment fee shall thereafter bear interest until
          paid at a rate per annum two percent (2%) above the Prime Rate
          in effect from time to time (computed on the basis of a 360-day
          year, actual days elapsed).

          D.  EVENTS OF DEFAULT:

               This Note is made pursuant to and is subject to the terms
          and conditions of that certain Credit Agreement between
          Borrower and Bank dated as of February 27, 1996, as amended
          from time to time (the."Credit Agreement").  Any default in the
          payment or performance of any obligation under this Note, or
          any defined event of default under the Credit Agreement, shall
          constitute an "Event of Default" under this Note.

          E.   MISCELLANEOUS:

               1.   Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the
          holder of this Note, at the holder's option, may declare all
          sums of principal and interest outstanding hereunder to be
          immediately due and payable without presentment, demand,
          protest or notice of dishonor, all of which are expressly
          waived by Borrower, and the obligation, if any, of the holder
          to extend any further credit hereunder shall immediately cease
          and terminate.  Borrower shall pay to the holder immediately
          upon demand the full amount of all reasonable payments,
          advances, charges, costs and expenses, including reasonable
          attorneys' fees (to include outside counsel fees and all
          allocated costs of the holder's in-house counsel), incurred by
          the holder in connection with the enforcement of the holder's
          rights and/or the collection of any amounts which become due to
          the holder under this Note, and the prosecution or defense of
          any action in any way related to this Note, including without
          limitation, any action for declaratory relief, and including
          any of the foregoing incurred in connection with any bankruptcy
          proceeding relating to Borrower.

               2.   GOVERNING LAW.  This Note shall be governed by and
          construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
          California, except to the extent Bank has greater rights or

          remedies under Federal law, whether as a national bank or
          otherwise, in which case such choice of California law shall
          not be deemed to deprive Bank of any such rights and remedies
          as may be available under Federal law.
