                             (Unaudited)

1.  CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    The condensed balance sheet as of May 26, 1995, the statements of income 
for the second quarter and six-month periods ended May 26, 1995 and May 27, 
1994, and the condensed statements of cash flows for the six-month periods 
then ended have been prepared by the Company, without audit.  In the opinion 
of management, all necessary adjustments, which include normal recurring 
adjustments, have been made to present fairly the financial position, results 
of operations, and cash flows at May 26, 1995 and for the other periods 
presented.  The results of operations for the period ended May 26, 1995 are 
not necessarily indicative of operating results for the full year.

2.  INVENTORIES

    Inventories are summarized as follows (in thousands):

                             =======    =======    =======
</TABLE>   

    The Company uses the LIFO method because it more realistically
reflects operating results by charging current costs against current
revenues. 

3.  SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

    During the six months ended May 26, 1995, shareholders' equity changed 
due to the net loss of $13,000, dividends declared of $148,000 and an increase 
of $293,000 resulting from the inclusion of a net unrealized gain on 
available-for-sale securities held by the Company.  Effective November 26, 
1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 
No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities",
necessitating the inclusion of this net unrealized gain on the balance sheet.
<PAGE>
                        PENOBSCOT SHOE COMPANY
     MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE SUMMARY OF OPERATIONS

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

     At May 26, 1995, Penobscot Shoe Company had working capital of 
approximately $9,952,000 versus approximately $9,568,000 at November 25, 1994,
an increase of $384,000.  The ratio of current assets to current liabilities at
May 26, 1995, was 9.9 to 1, compared to 10.6 to 1, at November 25, 1994.

     The statement of cash flows for the six months ended May 26, 1995, 
shows an increase of $1,329,000 in cash and cash equivalents since November 
25, 1994.  The Company's operations provided $1,487,000 since November 25, 
1994, primarily due to seasonal fluctuations in accounts receivable.  The 
Company's quarterly dividend amounted to a use of $148,000 during the period 
and capital expenditures for equipment amounted to a further use of $10,000 
during the period.

     The increases in the Company's inventory, other current assets and
accounts payable, as well as the decrease in accounts receivable since 
November 25, 1994, were the result of ordinary fluctuations.

     Management believes that Penobscot Shoe Company remains financially well 
structured to consider a variety of financing options should the need arise and
will make choices depending on economic conditions at the time.  Options 
available include conversion of marketable securities held by the Company into
cash and cash equivalents.  The Company also has an established line of credit
with a major bank available for direct borrowing at the prime rate should the 
need arise.

Results of Operations:

     Net sales for the second quarter ended May 26, 1995 were $2,455,000, 
down 33% from $3,667,000 in the same quarter last year.  A net loss of 
$27,000, or $.02 per share, was incurred in the current quarter compared to 
net income of $13,000, or $.01 per share, last year.

     For the six months ended May 26, 1995, net sales were $5,575,000, down 16%
from $6,656,000 a year ago.  A net loss of $13,000, or $.01 per share, was 
incurred in the current year-to-date period, versus net income of $91,000, or 
$.06 per share, in the corresponding period last year.

     The significant drop in net sales for the second quarter compared to a 
year ago was due to lower sales of both prime merchandise and surplus 
inventory.  The ongoing weak retail environment had a negative impact on second
quarter sales causing to increased cancellations and reduced reorders.

                        PENOBSCOT SHOE COMPANY
     MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE SUMMARY OF OPERATIONS
     

Results of Operations: (continued)

     Cost of sales was 66% of net sales in the second quarter compared to 71% a
year ago resulting in gross profit margins of 34% and 29% in the 1995 and 1994
quarters, respectively.  The lower level of surplus sales in the current 
quarter was the primary reason for this gross margin improvement.  Selling and 
administrative expenses in the current quarter were lower than a year ago due
to lower variable costs related to the decrease in sales volume.

     Other income in the second quarter of 1995 was $142,000, pre-tax, compared
to $50,000, pre-tax, in the corresponding quarter in 1994.  The current quarter
included gains on the sale of securities of $76,000, pre-tax, compared to 
less than $1,000 last year.  Interest income was $16,000, pre-tax, higher than
the previous year due to both higher interest rates and higher cash balances 
invested.

     While advance bookings for the Fall 1995 season are approximately level
with a year ago, the pervasive retail dilemma will continue to stress the 
Company's margins in the second half of fiscal 1995 compared to last year.
