NOTE 1:                 BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     On April 12, 1996, Innovo Group Inc. ("Innovo") acquired 100% of the
outstanding common stock of Thimble Square, Inc. ("the Company") and, in
a concurrent transaction, the Company acquired from its stockholders a
plant that it had previously leased from them.  The accompanying combined
financial statements have been prepared as if the Company had owned the
plant for all periods presented.  The plant (and depreciation expense
thereon) and related mortgage debt, recorded at the stockholder/owners'
historical cost, have been combined with the accounts of the Company. 
The lease transaction between the Company and the stockholder/owners has
been eliminated in combination.

     The condensed combined financial statements have been prepared by the
Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the
Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the
information presented not misleading.  These condensed combined financial
statements and the notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the
combined financial statements of the Company included in the Current
Report on Form 8-K of Innovo filed April 29, 1996, as amended.

     In the opinion of the management of the Company, the accompanying
unaudited condensed combined financial statements contain all necessary
adjustments to present fairly the financial position, the results of
operations and cash flows for the periods reported.  All adjustments are
of a normal recurring natures.

     The results of operations for the above periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

NOTE 3:                 INVESTMENT IN INNOVO

     In January, 1996, the Company and Innovo executed an agreement
pursuant to which the Company agreed to provide Innovo with $400,000 of
sew-only services, between February, 1996 and July, 1997, in exchange for
1,200,000 shares of Innovo common stock.  The Company transferred 120,000
of such shares to a third party as payment of a finder's fee on the
agreement.

     As of April 12, 1996, the date on which Innovo acquired the Company,
no services had been performed.  The 1,080,000 shares of Innovo common
stock owned by the Company at the time of its acquisition were
subsequently transferred to Innovo, which cancelled the shares.

NOTE 4:                 TRANSACTIONS WITH STOCKHOLDERS

     The balance due from stockholders results from cash and expense
advances, and does not bear interest.  In March, 1996, the balance was
settled when the Company repurchased from a stockholder 266 shares of
common stock at the stockholder's original cost.

     Due to stockholder represents unrepaid cash advances to the Company,
which bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum.

     During the first quarter of fiscal 1996 certain officer/stockholders
deferred their receipt of portions of their compensation.  The deferred
amounts remained unpaid at April 12, 1996 when the Company was acquired
by Innovo.  At that time the officer/stockholders forgave the unpaid
amounts.  Compensation expense, and an offsetting capital contribution,
has been recorded for these amounts.

Introduction

     The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial
statement is presented to illustrate the effect on the Company's results
of operations of the consummation of the acquisition of Thimble Square. 
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations
for the six months ended May 31, 1996 is based upon the Company's results
of operations for the six months ended May 31, 1996 (which include the
operations of Thimble Square for the period April 1, 1995 to May 31,
1996) and the results of operations for Thimble Square for the period
December 1, 1995 to March 31, 1996.  The following pro forma financial
information should be read in conjunction with the pro forma financial
information included in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K, filed
April 29, 1996, as amended.

     The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared for illustrative purposes only and are not
necessarily indicative of the Company's future financial position or
results of operations.  Among other things, the unaudited pro forma
condensed consolidated statement of operations reflects adjustments only
for (i) the effects of certain employment contracts with certain key
employees of Thimble Square and (ii) the increase in depreciation and
amortization resulting from recording Thimble Square's assets at
estimated fair value.  Not reflected in the pro forma results of
continuing operations are additional cost savings that the Company
believes can be achieved through changes to Thimble Square's
manufacturing operations, and through the use of Thimble Square's
facilities to manufacture Innovo's products during periods of peak
production.  Additionally, the Company plans to use Innovo's existing
marketing and sales functions to market Thimble Square's products through
the Company's existing network of marketing organizations and sales
representatives, and to the mass merchant customers with which the
Company has existing relationships.  Thimble Square previously has not
made significant use of outside sales representatives, or had significant
sales to Innovo's customers, and has instead relied principally on the
marketing and sales efforts of its own personnel.  While there can be no
assurance, the Company believes that these new marketing and sales
efforts could, over time, generate increases in Thimble Square's sales.

Note 2 - Pro Forma Adjustments

     The pro forma adjustments to the condensed consolidated statement of
continuing operations are as follows:

     [A]       To adjust costs and expenses to reflect the termination of
               certain personnel and certain fringe benefits, and the changes in
               the salaries of other personnel, effected concurrently with the
               acquisition.

     [B]       To adjust depreciation and amortization to reflect the adjusted
               bases of Thimble Square's assets.  Goodwill resulting from the
               acquisition will be amortized over a period of 10 years.
