                            NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                    April 29, 1995


          NOTE 1 - Basis of Presentation

          The financial statements present the consolidated financial
          position and results of operations of PSS, Inc. ("PSS") and its
          subsidiaries, including its direct subsidiary, PNS Inc. ("PNS"),
          collectively, the "Company".  The Company owns pass-through and
          participation certificates issued by the Federal Home Loan
          Mortgage Corporation backed by whole pool real estate mortgages
          ("Mortgage Certificates"), and as a result, is primarily engaged
          in the business of owning mortgages and other liens on and
          interests in real estate.  The principal obligations of the
          Company are borrowings secured by the Mortgage Certificates, the
          PNS 12-1/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due July 15, 1996 (the
          "Senior Notes") and the PSS 7-1/8% Convertible Debentures due
          July 15, 2006 (the "Debentures").

          The financial statements presented herein include all adjustments
          which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present
          fairly the operating results for the interim periods reported. 
          The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
          audited, annual financial statements for the year ended October
          29, 1994, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

          NOTE 2 - Liquidity and Capital Resources

          At April 29, 1995, the Company had assets of approximately $6.08
          million and liabilities secured by such assets of approximately
          $5.58 million, thus having a net difference of approximately
          $500,000 available for holders of Senior Notes and Debentures. 
          In the absence of additional debt repurchases, the amount due for
          the July 15, 1995 Senior Notes interest approximates $319,000. 

          The Company has not paid the interest due January 15, 1995 on its
          Convertible Debentures and such default has continued beyond the
          30 day "grace" period.  The Company's subsidiary, PNS, paid the
          interest due on January 15, 1995 on its Senior Notes within the
          30 day "grace" period; however, PNS has been advised by the
          Trustee for said Senior Notes that it believes that PNS is in
          default because it "is unable to pay its debts as the same come
          due."  The Trustee has purportedly accelerated payment of the Senior
          Notes, although PNS has advised the Trustee that it disagrees
          with the conclusion that it is in default and the Trustee has
          taken no legal action.

          As a result of the continued default due to the non-payment of
          interest on the Convertible Debentures, and as a result of the
          position taken by the Trustee for the Senior Notes (with which

                                          6
<PAGE>






          the Company disagrees) that such notes are in default, during the
          three months ended April 29, 1995 the Company has classified all
          Senior Notes and Convertible Debentures as current liabilities
          and in connection therewith has expensed remaining deferred
          financing costs and original issue discount.

          At April 29, 1995, approximately $5.26 million of Senior Notes
          and $22.92 million of Debentures remain outstanding and, annual
          interest thereon, in the absence of additional repurchases,
          approximates $638,000 and $1.63 million, respectively.  The
          Company's future operating results, liquidity, capital resources
          and requirements are primarily dependent upon the payment of
          interest on and purchases of Senior Notes and Debentures and, to
          a lesser extent, interest rate fluctuations as they relate to the
          market value of Mortgage Certificates and to the spread of
          interest income therefrom over interest expense on related
          borrowings.  The Company is exclusively invested in Mortgage
          Certificates, and, accordingly, is presently relying solely on
          such as its source of cash funds.  In the absence of additional
          purchases of Senior Notes and/or Debentures, based upon the
          Company's April 29, 1995 assets and liabilities it is expected
          that the Company will have sufficient capital resources and
          liquidity to meet debt service requirements on the Senior Notes
          until the January 15, 1996 interest payment; it is not expected
          that the Company will have sufficient capital resources to meet
          debt service requirements on the Debentures for the next 12
          months.  It has not been determined what course of action the
          Company may pursue with respect to debt service comprising
          interest payments and future maturities of Senior Notes and
          Debentures.

          NOTE 3 - Mortgage Certificates

          The Mortgage Certificates are financed with borrowings payable on
          demand provided against the Mortgage Certificates.  At April 29,
          1995, the average annual interest rate to be earned on the
          Mortgage Certificates, as determined on the basis that interest
          rates do not change, approximated 7.3% and the average annual
          interest rate on the related borrowings approximated 6.2%.  The
          rates of interest to be received on the Mortgage Certificates are
          adjustable based on general interest rate trends with certain
          maximums.

          NOTE 4 - Income Taxes

          Due to losses reported for each of the three and six months ended
          April 29, 1995 and April 28, 1994, there was no provision for
          income taxes recorded.

                         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                   OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


          Liquidity and Capital Resources

          At April 29, 1995, the Company's principal assets consisted of
          approximately $6 million of Mortgage Certificates from which
          interest income is earned and its principal obligations consisted
          of Mortgage Financing borrowings, Senior Notes and Debentures
          upon which interest expense is incurred.

          PNS is restricted by terms of its Senior Notes Indenture from
          paying dividends or making other payments to PSS, except that PNS
          may pay dividends to PSS in amounts sufficient to enable PSS to
          meet its obligation on its Debentures when due.  PNS, like its
          parent company, has a stockholder's deficit.

          The Company has not paid the interest due January 15, 1995 on its
          Convertible Debentures and such default has continued beyond the
          30 day "grace" period.  The Company's subsidiary, PNS, paid the
          interest due on January 15, 1995 on its Senior Notes within the
          30 day "grace" period; however, PNS has been advised by the
          Trustee for said Senior Notes that it believes that PNS is in
          default because it "is unable to pay its debts as the same come
          due."  The Trustee has purportedly accelerated payment of the Senior
          Notes, although PNS has advised the Trustee that it disagrees
          with the conclusion that it is in default and the Trustee has taken
          no legal action.

          As a result of the continued default due to the non-payment of
          interest on the Convertible Debentures, and as a result of the
          position taken by the Trustee for the Senior Notes (with which
          the Company disagrees) that such notes are in default, during the
          three months ended April 29, 1995 the Company has classified all
          Senior Notes and Convertible Debentures as current liabilities
          and in connection therewith has expensed remaining deferred
          financing costs and original issue discount.

          At April 29, 1995, the Company had assets of approximately $6.08
          million and liabilities secured by such assets of approximately
          $5.58 million, thus having a net difference of approximately
          $500,000 available for holders of Senior Notes and Debentures. 
          In the absence of additional debt repurchases, the amount due for
          the July 15, 1995 Senior Notes interest approximates $319,000.

          At April 29, 1995, approximately $5.26 million of Senior Notes
          and $22.92 million of Debentures remain outstanding and, annual
          interest thereon, in the absence of additional repurchases,
          approximates $638,000 and $1.63 million, respectively.  The
          Company's future operating results, liquidity, capital resources
          and requirements are primarily dependent upon the payment of

                                          8

          interest on and purchases of Senior Notes and Debentures and, to
          a lesser extent, interest rate fluctuations as they relate to the
          market value of Mortgage Certificates and to the spread of
          interest income therefrom over interest expense on related
          borrowings.  The Company is exclusively invested in Mortgage
          Certificates, and, accordingly, is presently relying solely on
          such as its source of cash funds.  In the absence of additional
          purchases of Senior Notes and/or Debentures, based upon the
          Company's April 29, 1995 assets and liabilities it is expected
          that the Company will have sufficient capital resources and
          liquidity to meet debt service requirements on the Senior Notes
          until the January 15, 1996 interest payment; it is not expected
          that the Company will have sufficient capital resources to meet
          debt service requirements on the Debentures for the next 12
          months.  It has not been determined what course of action the
          Company may pursue with respect to debt service comprising
          interest payments and future maturities of Senior Notes and
          Debentures.


          Results of Operations

               Interest income

          Interest income decreased during the three and six months ended
          April 29, 1995, as compared to the prior year periods, as a
          result of a declining investment due primarily to sale of most of
          the mortgage certificate portfolio.

               Interest expense

          Interest expense for the three and six months ended April
          29, 1995, decreased as compared to the prior year periods
          primarily due to lower borrowings related to a declining
          investment in Mortgage Certificates and fewer Senior Notes and
          Debentures outstanding due to bond repurchases.

               Write off of deferred financing costs and original issue
               discount

          As a result of the continued default due to the non-payment of
          interest on the Convertible Debentures, and as a result of the
          position taken by the Trustee for the Senior Notes (with which
          the Company disagrees) that such notes are in default, during the
          three months ended April 29, 1995 the Company has classified all
          Senior Notes and Convertible Debentures as current liabilities
          and in connection therewith has expensed remaining deferred
          financing costs and original issue discount.

          ITEM 3 - Defaults Upon Senior Securities

               The Company has not paid the interest due January 15, 1995
          on its 7-1/8% Convertible Debentures and such default has
          continued beyond the 30 day "grace" period.  The Company's
          subsidiary, PNS Inc., paid the interest due on January 15, 1995
          on its 12-1/8% Senior Subordinated Notes within the 30 day
          "grace" period; however, PNS has been advised by the Trustee for
          said Notes that it believes that PNS is in default because it "is
          unable to pay its debts as the same come due."  The Trustee has
          purportedly accelerated payment of the Senior Notes, although PNS has
          advised the Trustee that it disagrees with the conclusion that it
          is in default and the Trustee has taken no legal action.
