NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The condensed balance sheet as of February 27, 1998, the statements of
income for the first quarter ended February 27, 1998 and February 28, 1997,
and the condensed statements of cash flows for the three-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 February 27, 1998 and for the other periods
presented. The results of operations for the period ended February 27, 1998
are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the full year.
2. INVENTORIES
Inventories are summarized as follows (in thousands):

LIFO inventory value (249) (117) (227)
_______ _______ _______
$4,687 $4,283 $3,631
======= ======= =======
</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 three months ended February 27, 1998, shareholders' equity
changed due to the net income of $348,000 and dividends declared of $69,000,
purchases of treasury stock of $60,000 and an $8,000 decrease in the net
unrealized gain an 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 unrealized gain on
the balance sheet.
4. EARNINGS PER SHARE
The weighted average number of shares outstanding used to compute basic
earnings per share were 1,375,880 and 1,395,165 for the periods ended
February 27, 1998 and February 28, 1997, respectively, and for computing diluted
earnings per share were 1,385,403 and 1,408,271 for the same respective periods.
Basic earnings per share are calculated based on the weighted average number of
shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share are calculated based on the same
number of shares plus additional shares representing stock distributable under
stock-based plans computed using the treasury stock method. The implememtation
of Statement of Accounting Standards No. 128 "Earnings per Share" did not have
a material impact on the financial statements.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE SUMMARY OF OPERATIONS
Forward Looking Statements:
This report contains certain forward looking statements regarding the
Company. The Company desires to take advantage of the "safe harbor" provisions
of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and in that regard is
cautioning the readers of this report that a number of important risk factors
could affect the Company's actual results of operations and may cause changes
in the Company's strategy with the result that the Company's operations and
results may differ materially from those expressed in any forward looking
statements made by, or on behalf of, the Company. These risk factors include,
among others, general economic and market conditions, the rate of growth in the
footwear market and consumer acceptance of the Company's product line, and the
risk factors that are discussed from time-to-time in the Company's SEC reports,
including, but not limited to, the report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
February 27, 1998.
Liquidity and Capital Resources:
At February 27, 1998, Penobscot Shoe Company had working capital of
approximately $10,728,000 versus approximately $10,499,000 at November
28, 1997, an increase of $229,000. The ratio of current assets to current
liabilities at February 27, 1998, was 5.2 to 1, compared to 6.9 to 1, at
November 28, 1997.
The statement of cash flows for the three months ended February 27, 1998,
shows an increase of $200,000 in cash and cash equivalents since November
28, 1997. The Company's operations provided $339,000 since November 28,
1997, including net income of $348,000 and ordinary fluctuations in various
current asset and liability accounts. The fluctuations included increases in
inventory, accounts receivable and accounts payable, all mainly as a result of
timing. The Company's quarterly dividend amounted to a use of $69,000 during
the period. The Company used $10,000 for purchases of capital equipment and
used $60,000 to purchase treasury stock.
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 minus 1.5%
should the need arise.
Results of Operations:
Net sales for the quarter ended February 27, 1998, were $4,784,000,
up 17% from $4,103,000 in the same quarter last year. Net income for the
current quarter was $348,000, or $.25 per share, compared to $149,000, or $.11
per share, in the corresponding quarter last year. Gains from the sales of
securities contributed $126,000, or $.09 per share to the current quarter's
earnings. Such gains last year amounted to only $6,000, or less than $.01
per share. Last year's first quarter benefited from a LIFO gain that amounted
to approximately $116,000, or $.08 per share. There was no such LIFO gain in
the current quarter.
The increase in net sales versus last year was due to the success of our
Spring '98 line. This collection has generated significant at-once orders to
date. However, advance bookings for Fall '98 have been adversley affected by
reduced boot bookings due to the unusually mild winter of 97/98. Overall,
assuming continued positive response to product at retail, the Company expects
to produce a moderate increase in sales for the full year.
Cost of sales was 66.3% of net sales in the first quarter compared to 67.6%
a year ago resulting in gross profit margins of 33.7% and 32.4% in the 1998 and
1997 quarters, respectively. Last year, the first quarter included a pre-tax
LIFO liquidation gain of $193,000. Without the LIFO gain, the gross profit
margin in that quarter would have been 27.7%. No LIFO liquidation gain was
realized in the first quarter of this year.
Selling and administrative costs in the first quarter were approximately
11% higher that last year. Increased expenditures on new product development,
strengthened marketing and sales programs and variable costs accounted for
most of the increase.
Other income in the first quarter of 1998 was $238,000, pre-tax, compared
to $62,000 in the same quarter last year. Gains from the sale of securities
contributed $210,000, pre-tax, in the first quarter. Such gains last year
amounted to only $10,000, pre-tax.
