policies and practices, including the level of compensation of officers of the 
Company, and makes recommendations concerning compensation of directors. 
During the year ended November 25, 1994, the compensation committee held 
two meetings.

<PAGE>
	Upon the death of any employee who has served the Company for at 
least 15 years and has been an officer and/or director of the Company and/or 
any subsidiary for at least two years, the Company will pay the sum of $5,000 
and one year's salary to the employee's widow and minor children. 
Mr. Hansen, Mr. Pfander, and John R. French, Vice President, Management 
Information Systems, currently qualify for these benefits.

	Mr. Kagan, Chairman of the Board of Directors, retired as Chief 
Executive Officer of the Company on December 31, 1993. On November 
26, 1993, the Board of Directors voted to provide him a supplemental 
retirement benefit of $20,000 per year. During 1994, Mr. Kagan received 
payments totalling $20,000 as a result of this supplemental retirement benefit.

	The compensation for each outside director in fiscal 1995 consisted 
of an annual retainer of $7,500, and a payment of $500 for each meeting 
attended. In addition, the Chairman of the Board receives an annual retainer 
of $20,000. Director compensation for fiscal 1996 is expected to continue at 
this rate.

CONTRIBUTORY RETIREMENT PLAN

	Since 1981, Penobscot Shoe Company has had a contributory 
retirement plan covering substantially all  employees. This is a defined 
benefit plan and the amount of the Company's contribution with respect to 
specified persons cannot be readily calculated by the actuaries of the plan. 
The annual retirement benefits for each pension plan year of future service 
are determined as .85% of annual earnings  which  are  not  in  excess  of  
$16,200,  and 1.5% of any excess of annual earnings over $16,200. Past 
service (prior to January 1, 1988) benefits are determined for each year of 
credited past service as .65% of average earnings of the three years ended 
January 1, 1988  up  to  $16,200  and  1.5% of the average over $16,200.
	
	All employees who are enrolled as members of the pension plan 
contribute in each plan year .5% of their annual earnings up to $16,200, and 
2.5% of their annual earnings in excess of $16,200. The following table shows
 the annual pension benefit payable to employees, including officers, retiring 
at age 65 using a constant salary. The table includes past and future service 
as follows: for 15 years service, 10 years of past service and 5 years of 
future service; for 25 years service, 20 and 5 respectively; for 30 years 
service, 25 and 5 respectively; for 35 years service, 30 and 5; for 45 years 
service, 40 and 5.

1991 STOCK OPTION PLAN

	The Company's 1991 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") was adopted by 
the Board of Directors on December 20, 1990 and approved by the Company's 
stockholders at the 1991 annual meeting. The Plan provides that options for 
the purchase of up to 75,000 shares of Common Stock may be granted, of which
 33,000 shares remained available at December 1, 1994. The Plan is intended 
to promote the growth and profitability of the Company by providing key 
employees with additional incentive to achieve the Company's objectives and to
 enable the Company to attract and retain key employees of outstanding ability.

	The Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board
of Directors (the "Committee"), which has the authority to designate the key 
employees eligible to participate, to prescribe the number of shares and other
terms of awards, to interpret the Plan and to make rules and regulations and 
all other determinations for administering the Plan. None of the Directors 
constituting the Committee is eligible to receive any stock options pursuant 
to the Plan.

	The exercise price of all options granted by the Committee will not
be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date the
option is granted. All options granted under the Plan must expire ten years 
after the date they were granted unless provision is made for an earlier 
expiration. No option may be granted later than ten years following the date 
the Plan was approved by the Board of Directors. The full purchase price for 
shares acquired upon the exercise of an option must be paid in cash, Common 
Stock, or the promissory note of the participant containing such terms as the
Committee shall specify, or a combination thereof, as the Committee may 
determine.
<PAGE>
	If the optionee ceases to serve the Company for reasons other than 
death or total and permanent disability, the optionee may exercise his or her
 option for a period equal to the earlier to occur of the end of such exercise 
right as set forth in the option, or three months following such termination,
 to the extent the option was exercisable prior to termination. Except as so 
exercised, the option expires at the end of such three month period. If the 
optionee, while in the service of the Company, dies or becomes permanently 
and totally disabled at any time while he or she is entitled to exercise an 
option, the optionee or his or her executor, administrator, heir or legatee 
may exercise the option in full at any time up to one year following the date
of such termination or the end of the tenth year following the grant of the 
option, if earlier. Options may be granted on terms different from those set
forth in the Plan in substitution for options held by employees of other 
companies who become employees of the Company or a subsidiary as a
result of a merger or other acquisition transaction.

	Options may not be transferred by an optionee otherwise than by will
or by the laws of descent and distribution and during the optionee's lifetime 
can be exercised only by the optionee.

	In the event that there is a change of control of the Company, as 
defined in the Plan, each option held pursuant to the Plan will become fully 
exercisable. In the event of a stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or 
other change in the Company's capital stock, the number and kind of shares
of stock or other securities subject to an option granted hereunder, and the 
maximum number of shares or other securities available under the Plan, the
purchase price, and other relevant provisions, may be appropriately adjusted 
by the Committee. The Committee may also make such adjustments in the 
event of a material change in accounting principles or practices, a 
consolidation or merger where the Company survives, a sale or acquisition of 
significant amounts of stock or other property, or the occurrence of any other
event, if determined by the Committee to warrant such an adjustment to avoid 
distortion of the Plan.
<PAGE>
	Subject to the provision dealing with changes in control, if the 
Company is involved in a merger or consolidation in which it is not the 
surviving corporation, or the Company's shares are converted into, or exchanged
for, the shares of another corporation, or into or for other consideration, all 
options granted hereunder shall terminate upon such event. However, if such 
an event occurs, the Committee shall cause replacement options to be granted 
or make all outstanding options exercisable in full for a period of twenty days 
prior to such event.
<PAGE>
	The Committee may amend the Plan and any option granted thereunder,
provided that, without the approval of the Stockholders of the Company, no 
amendment may (except in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, certain 
mergers, spin-offs, and similar events, as herein provided) increase the 
maximum number of shares available under the Plan, the designation of those 
eligible to participate in the Plan, reduce the minimum option price of future 
options, or extend the time within which options may be granted. No 
amendment may adversely affect the rights of any optionee without his or her 
consent.

	All grants of options under the Plan or their exercise shall be in 
accordance with applicable federal and state laws and regulations, and the 
Company may impose such conditions and requirements as it deems necessary 
or desirable to assure such compliance.

	The Plan is not intended to qualify for incentive stock option tax 
treatment under the Internal Revenue Code.
	
	During 1994, Mr. Hoskins, Vice President-Sales, was granted an option to 
purchase 5,000 shares at an exercise price of $5.00 per share, the market
value of such shares at the time of the grant, exercisable over a ten-year
period.  No additional options were granted during fiscal 1994.
