2.   Interim consolidated financial statements:

     The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the
      Company and, in the opinion of the management, reflect all material
      adjustments which are necessary to fair statements of results for the
      interim periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosure
      made in the last annual report on Form 10-K have been condensed or omitted
      for the consolidated statements. Certain costs are estimated for the full
      year and allocated to interim period based on activity associated with the
      period. It is the Company's opinion that, when the interim consolidated
      statements are read in conjunction with the December 31, 1994 annual
      report on Form 10-K, the disclosures are adequate to make information
      presented not misleading. All significant intercompany accounts and
      transactions have been eliminated.

3.    Basis of accounting:

      The financial statements are expressed in United States dollars and are in
       conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

      The United States dollar was adopted as the reporting currency for the
       following reasons:

        (a) the majority of the Company's purchase and sales transactions are
            quoted in United States dollars;

        (b) the majority of the expenses incurred by the Company are denominated
            in Hong Kong dollars and the exchange rate between the Hong Kong
            dollar and the United States dollar has been fixed at HK$7.80 to
            US$1.00; as a result, exchange differences on translating from Hong
            Kong dollars to United States dollars are minimal.

4.    Change of fiscal year:

      The Company changed its accounting year from December 31 to May 31 to
       reflect a natural business cycle.

5.      Earnings per share:

        The computation of earnings per share is based on the weighted average
          number of common shares outstanding. When dilutive, stock options and
          warrants are included as common stock equivalents using the treasury
          stock method. The shares issued in connection with the reverse
          acquisition in 1994, including the common stock equivalent of the
          Series A preferred stock, have been treated as being outstanding
          effective January 1, 1993. Shares issued in connection with the
          convertible debentures and Series C preferred stock have been included
          in weighted average shares as if the conversions had occurred at the
          date the securities were issued. Shares issuable under the conversion
          provision for the Series C preferred sock have been considered common
          stock equivalents. Primary and fully diluted earnings per share are
          the same for each period presented.

Item 2.  Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
         of Operations


                        OVERVIEW OF PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

         China Industrial Group, Inc. (the Group) consists of Nova Industrial
         Holdings Limited, a British Virgin Islands corporation, which is a
         holding company for four operating entities. The operations of the
         Group are divided into distribution and manufacturing. In addition,
         Harrington Worldwide Holdings Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the
         group provides investment and management services to customers in China
         and the Asia Pacific region.

         The Group's distribution activities involve wool, industrial chemicals
         and pharmaceutical products. The Group purchases wool from unrelated
         persons mainly in new Zealand and Australia principally for US dollars
         and, in turn, sells the wool through its sales representative offices
         to its customers in the Peoples' Republic of China (China).

         The Group is responsible for all aspects of delivery of wool to the
         factory, including customs clearance and transportation. To support its
         distribution, the Group leases a number of bonded warehouses in China
         which take delivery of the wool and arrange for shipment directly to
         the factories.

         The Group receives payment of wool in Renminbi, the Chinese Currency
         (RMB). The Group then uses RMB to purchase industrial raw materials
         such as chemical and pharmaceutical materials from manufacturers
         located in China and export to customers overseas. Sales of these
         products in turn generate U.S. dollars, which are then used to purchase
         wool in Australia and New Zealand.

         Although the Group bears the risk of non-payment from its customers,
         the Group generally purchases products pursuant to outstanding orders.
         Thus the Group's exposure to currency risk and inventory problems is
         minimized.

         The Group, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Harrington Worldwide
         Holdings Limited, is engaged in providing investment, financial,
         corporate advisory and nominee services to its clients including advice
         on mergers and acquisitions, and joint ventures with Chinese
         enterprises. The Company maintains close working relationships with
         authorities, and commercial communities in China and the Asia Pacific
         region and provides experienced judgment to help clients to achieve
         their diverse objectives.

                               AND SUBSIDIARIES

 
         The Company participated in a number of strategically significant
         transactions, including merger and acquisition, joint ventures and
         restructuring. The company is responsible for leading and coordinating
         clients in execution of their capital and investment transactions.

         In addition, the Company provides financial and management consultancy
         services to Chinese enterprise and develops innovative solutions, often
         involving implementation of strategic initiatives, to meet their needs.

         The Company identifies, structures, and manages investments in
         acquisition and restructuring, on behalf of its clients. In addition,
         the Company provides nominee services to foreign enterprises for their
         China ventures.

         The Group is also engaged in the manufacture of woolen products through
         its interest in its joint venture company in China. These facilities
         produce a variety of wool products ranging from scoured wool (washed
         and comb wool), wool top (washed and combed wool that has been
         processed into a spool of rope), yarns, rolls of wool fabric to woolen
         sweaters mainly for the Chinese consumer market.

         In December 1995, the Group changed its fiscal year from December 31 to
         May 31 to reflect a natural business cycle.

                 THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 29, 1996
            COMPARED TO THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1995.

         REVENUES. Revenues for the three and nine months ended February 29,
         1996 decreased by $8.4 million and $21.8 million, or approximately
         10.9% and 9.2% respectively, as compared to the three and nine months
         ended March 31, 1995. The decreased revenues reflected the exceptional
         demand for wool in early 1995 as the result of a shortage of cotton
         crops during the period; revenues form the current period represented a
         more normal level of operation when demand for wool returned to its
         current level. Revenues from management service (new in 1996) amounted
         to $9.4 million of total revenues for the nine months ended February
         29, 1996, and were derived form providing advisory services to
         customers.

         GROSS PROFIT. The gross profit percentage increased from 15.1% for the
         three months ended March 31, 1995 to 16.8% for the 1996 period and
         gross profit remained approximately the same for the nine months ended
         February 29, 1996 which was aided by contributions of $5.2 million
         gross profit by the investment and advisory services.

                               AND SUBSIDIARIES

 
         GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE. General and administrative expense
         increased by $0.5 million and $1.5 million or approximately 13.9% and
         14.2% during these three and nine month periods of 1996 as compared to
         the three and nine months ended March 31, 1995. The increase was
         primarily a result of increased administrative expenses applicable to
         the new management services activity.

         SELLING EXPENSES. During the three and nine month 1996 periods,
         revenues and marketing expenses decreased by $0.1 million and $0.2
         million as compared to the three and nine months ended March 31, 1995.
         The primary reason for the variation was the decease in marketing
         activities due to reduced revenue potential .

         INCOME TAXES. Income taxes of $45,924 were incurred during the three
         months ended February 29, 1996 and $120,165 for the three months ended
         March 31, 1995. The decrease is primarily due to income tax provisions
         for the Company's China operations and the decrease in earnings from
         the Company's Hong Kong distribution subsidiary.

         NET INCOME. The net income during the three months ended February 29,
         1996 was $6.2 million as compared to net income of $6.5 million for the
         three months ended March 31, 1995. This represents approximately a 5.1%
         decrease in net income. Net income for the nine month period ended
         February 29, 1996 was $20.13 million as compared to $21.96 million for
         the nine months ended March 31, 1995, an 8.3% decrease in net income.

         INVENTORY. Inventory as of February 29, 1996 amounts to $18,463,986 as
         a result of the low level of activities during the festive month of
         Chinese New Year in China.

         CUSTOMER DEPOSITS AND OTHER. Customer deposits and other represent
         amounts received in advance from customers. As of February 29, 1996
         this amounts to $2,165,487, which reflected the low demand in the month
         of February.

         CUMULATIVE FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION ADJUSTMENT reflects the net
         adjustment to the consolidated financial statements after the exclusion
         of adjustment results in the translation of disposed subsidiary.

                        LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Group's principal source of liquidity during the five months ended
         February 29, 1996 was from operations.

                               AND SUBSIDIARIES

 
         As of February 29, 1996, the Group had working capital of approximately
         $75 million compared to $66 million as of May 31, 1995, primarily as a
         result of net income earned during this period.

         Net cash generated from operating activities was $4.7 million during
         the nine months ended February 29, 1996.

         The Group believes that cash provided by operations will be sufficient
         to meet its cash requirements for the next 12 months.


                                FOREIGN EXCHANGE

         The financial statements of the Company's subsidiaries operating in
         China are generally measured using the local currency RMB as the
         functional currency. The exchange rates adopted in the translation of
         RMB to the United States dollar are the applicable Bank of China
         Official rate which would be settled at by the Chinese Government. For
         the Group's other subsidiaries, the United States dollar is the
         functional currency.


                              EFFECTS OF INFLATION

         Inflation has little impact on the operation of the Group. The price of
         products the Group distributes is determined by the open market. Any
         increase in costs is generally reflected in the selling price. However,
         the cooling down of China's overheated economy does have a negative
         effect on the sales of products manufactured in China. In addition,
         inflation has caused some increase in the general and administrative
         expenses
