Note 2:
------- FULFILLMENT SERVICE ACQUISITION
In January 1995, Kable Fulfillment Services of Ohio, Inc. (a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) acquired assets and
liabilities of Fulfillment Corporation of America (FCA), an
Ohio based subscription service operation. The purchase price
of FCA was $2,070,000, and the Company accounted for the
acquisition using the purchase method of accounting. The
allocation of the purchase price is preliminary and will be
finalized upon the completion of the Company's evaluation of
certain obligations of FCA prior to the merger and
acquisition related costs. Accordingly, further adjustments
may result.
The following unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma
income statements reflect the combined results of operations
for the nine months ended January 31, 1995, and 1994, as if
the acquisition had been consummated on May 1, 1993. In
addition, they include purchase accounting adjustments
reducing depreciation and amortization, and increasing
interest expense associated with additional borrowings to
finance the acquisition.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Page 1 of 2)
January 31, 1995
FINANCIAL CONDITIONS
--------------------
The acquisition of the assets and liabilities of Fulfillment
Corporation of America (FCA) by Kable Fulfillment Services of
Ohio, Inc. (See Note 2) for the purchase price of $2,070,000 was
financed by additional borrowings.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------
The improvement in the results for the nine months and third
quarter as compared to the similar periods last year reflects an
increase in gross profit from housing sales of approximately
$1,970,000 and $570,000, respectively, and an increase in the
pretax income from Kable News operations of approximately $850,000
and $330,000, respectively. In addition, general and
administrative expenses related to real estate and corporate
decreased approximately $580,000 and $500,000, respectively,
primarily due to lower legal costs and consulting fees. The third
quarter this year reflects an increase in gross profit from land
sales of approximately $300,000, as compared to the third quarter
last year. Also, the nine months of fiscal 1994 results include a
loss of $1,763,000 from rental projects, principally The Classic
at West Palm Beach, compared to $607,000 in the nine months this
year.
These operating improvements were offset by a decrease in gross
profit from land sales of approximately $1,020,000 in the nine
months this year as compared to the similar period last year. In
addition, increased real estate commissions and selling expenses
increased in the nine months and third quarter this year by
$960,000 and $400,000, respectively, as compared to the similar
periods last year. These increases were in proportion to the
increased revenues at the Brandywine and Country Meadows housing
projects (which were in their start-up phase last year) and to the
increase in revenue at Rio Rancho.
The increase in gross profit from housing sales was primarily due
to increased volume and increases in housing prices. The number
of housing units closed increased by 73 units, from 558 to 631, in
the nine months fiscal 1995, and by 13 units, from 192 to 205, in
the third quarter fiscal 1995, as compared to the similar periods
last year.

AMREP CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Page 2 of 2)
January 31, 1995
The increase in pretax income from Kable News operations in the
nine months and third quarter fiscal 1995, as compared to the
similar periods last year, (from approximately $2,760,000 last
year to $3,610,000 this year in the nine months and from
$1,050,000 last year to $1,380,000 this year in the third quarter)
primarily reflects substantially improved results from newsstand
operations.
The increase in interest expense in the nine months and third
quarter of fiscal 1995, as compared to the similar periods last
year, is due to increased borrowings related to real estate
operations and Kable News operations, and an increase in the prime
interest rate. This increase was partially offset by
capitalization of interest on construction projects this year.

<PAGE>

(b) Term Loan. Subject to the terms of this
Agreement, the Company may borrow from the Bank and the Bank will
