                    INNOVO GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 -  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a)  Principles of consolidation

   The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Innovo Group Inc. ("Innovo Group") and its wholly owned subsidiaries
(collectively the "Company").  All significant intercompany transactions and
balances have been eliminated.  The condensed consolidated financial statements
included herein 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 consolidated financial statements
and the notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended November 30, 1999.

   In the opinion of the management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited
condensed consolidated 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 the normal recurring nature.

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

 	 Net Sales for the quarter ended February 29 decreased $253,000 or 23.7%
from $1,065,000 in 1999 to $812,000 in 2000.  This decrease is primarily the
result of a decrease in sales for the Company's international subsidiary, Nasco
Products International ("NPII").  NPII's sales have decreased due to a
reduction in the popularity of American pro licensed sports.  The Company
anticipates that NPII's sales will remain depressed for the remainder of the
year.

   The gross margin percentage increased 4.6 percentage points from 30.6% in
1999 to 35.2% in 2000 due primarily to a large closeout order that was shipped
during the first quarter of 1999.  This order caused the overall gross profit
during the first quarter of 1999 to decrease.

   Selling, General and Administrative costs increased $125,000 or 15.7% from
1999 to 2000 due to an increase in salary expense, travel expenses, hiring
expenses and contract labor.  The increased focus on marketing activities and
the increase in the headcount of the corporate office were the main causes for
the greater expense levels.

   Depreciation expenses increased $16,000 or 25.4% from the first quarter of
1999 to the first quarter of 2000 due to depreciation of new computer equipment
and software that the Company purchased as part of its year 2000 computer
conversion.

   Interest expense for the three months ended February 29, 2000 decreased
to $82,000 from $91,000 for the three months ended February 28, 1999 due to
the extinguisment of long term debt through the end of 1999.

   Other income (expense) decreased from income of $34,000 to an expense of
$25,000 due primarily to the reduction in the income generated from the
Accessory Network note receivable.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

   Innovo Group is a holding company and its principal assets are the common
stock of the operating subsidiaries.  As a result, to satisfy its obligations
Innovo Group is dependent on cash obtained from the operating subsidiaries,
either as loans, repayments of loans made by Innovo Group to the subsidiary, or
distributions, or on the proceeds from the issuance of debt or equity securities
by Innovo Group.

   Cash flows from operations were a negative $675,000 for the three months
ended February 29, 2000.  The primary reasons were net losses of $823,000,
increases in accounts payable of $95,000, increases in accounts receivable of
$88,000, and decreases in inventory of $83,000.

   The Company anticipates continuing improvement in financial performance for
fiscal year 2000 due to additional product lines and an improved marketing
effort.

  	The Company relied on four primary sources to fund operations in 1999
and the first quarter of 2000:

   1.	 An accounts receivable factoring agreement with First American
       National Bank ("First American")
   2.	 Trade credit with its domestic and international suppliers
   3.	 Borrowings from management and shareholders
   4.	 Equity financing through private placements

   The Company anticipates continued reliance on the accounts receivable
factoring agreement to generate the majority of its working capital needs.
Under this facility, First American advances between 70% and 90% of approved
invoices.  First American charges Innovo 1% for the first 15 days an invoice is
outstanding and .05% per day thereafter until paid, up to a maximum of 6%.  The
facility is secured by a first position on accounts receivable and inventory and
personal guarantees of certain members of the Board of Directors and management.
The facility can be terminated upon thirty day written notice by either party.

   During 1999, the Company was successful in negotiating extended trade
credit with its largest vendors.  In 1998, the Company entered into an
agreement with Sunwaki Industrial Company, Ltd. of Hong Kong to produce the
Company's licensed products for both domestic and international distribution.
 Sunwaki has the capability to meet a substantial portion of the Company's
need for such products.  In 1999, Sunwaki extended trade credit to Innovo in
excess of $1 million.  The Company anticipates that it will be able to
negotiate a similar credit limit with Sunwaki in 2000

   During 1999, the Company utilized commitments from certain members of
management to provide working capital funding.  During the first quarter of
2000, the Company received $712,000 in financing from the Chairman and CEO.
Effective March 1, 2000, the Company's Chairman and CEO has committed to provide
additional cash funding, as may be required from time to time, of up to
$500,000.  These funds will be available to the Company through
November 30, 2000 to satisfy any short-term working capital needs.  Any funds
borrowed under this arrangement will be secured with a promissory not, will be
interest bearing and typically mature within nine months from issuance.

   During February and March, 2000, the Company sold 490,000 shares of Common
Stock in private placement transactions for $500,000.  The Company also
converted $500,000 of notes payable to the Chairman and CEO to 429,729 shares
of Common Stock.  The Company anticipates that it can sell additional equity
securities in an effort to provided working capital funding throughout 2000.

   During April, 2000, the Company sold 102,040 shares of Common Stock in a
private placement transaction for $100,000.

   Based on the foregoing, the Company believes that working capital will be
sufficient to fund operations and required debt reductions during fiscal 2000.
However, due to the seasonality of the Company's business and likely negative
cash flow during the first half of the year, the Company may be required to
obtain additional capital through debt or equity financing.  The Company
believes that any additional capital, to the extent needed, could be obtained
from the sale of equity securities or short-term working capital loans.
However, there can be no assurance that this or other financing will be
available if needed.  The inability of the Company to be able to fulfill any
interim working capital requirements would force the Company to constrict its
operations.
