Explanation of Responses:
1. These shares of common stock of Innovo Group Inc. are directly held by BSS-Joe's Investors, LLC, a portion of which may be deemed attributable to the reporting person because the reporting person holds the majority of the membership interests in BSS-Joe's Investors, LLC.
2. The actual pro rata portion of such beneficial ownership that may be deemed attributable to the reporting person is not readily determinable because it is subject to several variables. The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities held by BSS-Joe's Investors, LLC, except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein, and the inclusion of these shares in this report shall not be deemed an admission of beneficial ownership of all of the reported shares for the purpose of Section 16 or for any other purpose.
3. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant and the exercise price per share of Common Stock subject to the Warrant are subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits and similar events.
4. The Warrants are directly held by BSS-Joe's Investors, LLC, a portion of which may be deemed attributable to the reporting person because the reporting person holds the majority of the membership interests in BSS-Joe's Investors, LLC.
