NOTE A -- Basis Of Presentation

The financial information presented herein should be read in conjunction 
with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the 
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995. 
The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1995 has been derived from 
the audited financial statements of that date.

The Company's parent is Pubco Corporation ("Pubco"), which owns 
approximately 90% of the Common Stock and all of the Preferred Stock of the 
Company.

The Company increased its ownership in Aspen Imaging International, Inc. 
("Aspen") at year-end 1995 from approximately 41% to approximately 62%.  The 
Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 1996 and December 31, 
1995 include the accounts of Aspen.  The Company's Consolidated Statement of 
Operations for the three months ended March 31, 1996 include the results of 
Aspen's operations whereas the Company's consolidated statement of 
operations for the three months ended March 31, 1995 account for Aspen's 
operations on the equity method.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been 
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for 
interim financial information.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the 
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting 
principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, 
all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been 
included, all of which are of a normal recurring nature.

Net income (loss) per common share has been computed by dividing net income 
(loss) after preferred dividend requirements by the weighted average number 
of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the periods.  The Preferred 
Stock dividend requirement is an annual variable dividend, currently $2.55 
per share for Series A and $12.50 per share for Series B.

Financial Instruments:  The Company's financial instruments recorded on the 
balance sheet include cash and cash equivalents and long-term debt.  Because 
of their short maturity, the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents 
approximates fair value.  Because the majority of long-term debt is at 
market rates of interest that adjust frequently, the carrying amount of 
long-term debt approximates fair value.

Off balance sheet financial instruments include foreign currency exchange 
agreements.  In the normal course of business, the Company's construction 
products subsidiary purchases components from a German supplier and from 



                                 7.

time to time, enters into foreign currency exchange contracts with banks in 
order to fix its trade payables denominated in the Deutsche Mark.  The 
contract amounts outstanding and the net deferred gains or losses were not 
significant at March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995.

Effective January 1, 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued 
SFAS No. 121 - "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets and for 
Long-lived Assets to be Disposed Of."  SFAS No. 121 establishes accounting 
standards for the impairment of long-lived assets, certain identifiable 
intangibles, and goodwill related to those assets to be held and used, and 
for long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be disposed 
of.  The effect of its adoption is immaterial to results of operations.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 1996 
presentation.

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




RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 1996 and 1995

Due to the increase in the Company's ownership of Aspen to approximately 62% 
at the end of 1995, the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 
1996 and December 31, 1995 include the accounts of Aspen.  The Company's 
Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 
1996 includes the results of Aspen.  For the comparable period in 1995, the 
Company accounted for Aspen's results of operations using the equity method 
which were not significant and were included in other income in the 
Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company's continuing operations primarily consist of Buckeye Business 
Products, Inc. ("Buckeye"), Allied Construction Products, Inc. ("Allied") 
and Aspen.

Sales increased in the three months ended March 31, 1996, from the three 
months ended March 31, 1995, primarily as the result of the inclusion of the 
sales of Aspen.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased in the three month 
period ended March 31, 1996 from the three months ended March 31, 1995 
primarily as the result of the inclusion of Aspen in the 1996 period.

The decrease in interest, net, is primarily the result of slightly lower 
borrowing levels at Allied during the 1996 period compared to the 1995 
period and the significant increase in interest income.  Earnings from the 
Company's cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities and other 
short term investments increased because of increases in the amount of such 
assets.  These assets increased due to the inclusion of Aspen in 1996 as 
well as the continued receipt of proceeds from discontinued operations at 
the Company.  The Company will continue to generate interest and other 
income on its available funds until used to make an acquisition of other 
operating businesses.  While no particular acquisition is pending or has 
been identified, the Company routinely reviews acquisition opportunities.

The dividend requirements for the two classes of preferred stock adjust 
annually, in January and August, respectively, based on changes in the prime 
rate.  Changes in the prime rate at August, 1995 compared to August, 1994  
caused the increase in preferred stock dividend requirements.








                                 9.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At March 31, 1996, the Company had almost $22,400,000 of cash, cash 
equivalents, marketable securities and other short-term investments, 
including approximately $5,300,000 owned by Aspen, and approximately 
$238,000 of long-term debt.

The increases in inventories and accounts payable from December 31, 1995 to 
March 31, 1996 reflect Allied's normal seasonal build-up of inventories 
offset by decreases at both Buckeye and Aspen.

Although there was stockholders' equity of $26,589,000 at March 31, 1996, 
the Preferred Stock is entitled to a liquidation preference equal to its 
$37,605,000 face value and $14,520,000 of unpaid cumulative Preferred Stock 
dividends.  As a result, there is no stockholders' equity available to the 
Common Stock.

The Company has not consistently generated pretax income and the potential 
future tax benefits of the deferred tax assets, primarily net operating loss 
carryforwards, may not be realized.  Accordingly, a valuation allowance has 
been provided equal to the net deferred tax assets related to these 
potential future tax benefits, which totaled approximately $14,000,000 at 
December 31, 1995.  Should the Company generate pretax income in future 
years, the tax benefits of the net operating loss carryforwards and other 
items will be realized, which will have a positive impact on the future cash 
flows, liquidity and capital resources of the Company.

           On October 24, 1995, the Company received a merger proposal from 
           its parent, Pubco Corporation ("Pubco").  Under the proposal, the 
           Company would be merged with and into Pubco and the Company's 
           stockholders would receive one share of Pubco's Common Stock for 
           each six shares of the Company's Common Stock owned by them.  On 
           April 10, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors accepted the 
           Pubco proposal, subject to stockholder approval, and authorized 
           the Company to enter into a Merger Agreement, which was executed 
           on April 26, 1996.  The Company's stockholders will consider the 
           matters at a Special Meeting to be held on June 27, 1996.
