                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                JANUARY 28, 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 January 28, 1995, the Company had tangible assets (total assets less deferred
financing costs) of approximately $6.45 million and liabilities secured by such
assets of approximately $5.63 million, thus having a net difference of
approximately $820,000 available for holders of Senior Notes and Debentures.
Subsequent to January 28, PNS used $318,766.25 of net assets to make the January
15 interest payment on its Senior Notes.

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 Notes,
although PNS has advised the Trustee that it disagrees with the conclusion that
it is in default.

                                        6

<PAGE>

At January 28, 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 January 28, 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 - INCOME TAXES

Due to losses reported for each of the three months ended January 28, 1995 and
January 29, 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 January 28, 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.  Principal payments on
the Senior Notes and Debentures are not scheduled to commence until July 1996.

The Mortgage Certificates are financed with borrowings payable on demand
provided against the Mortgage Certificates.  At January 28, 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 7.1% and the average
annual interest rate on the related borrowings approximated 6.1%.  The rates of
interest to be received on the Mortgage Certificates are adjustable based on
general interest rate trends with certain maximums.

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.

At January 28, 1995, the Company had tangible assets (total assets less deferred
financing costs) of approximately $6.45 million and liabilities secured by such
assets of approximately $5.63 million, thus having a net difference of
approximately $820,000 available for holders of Senior Notes and Debentures.
Subsequent to January 28, PNS used $318,766.25 of net assets to make the January
15 interest payment on its Senior Notes.

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 Notes,
although PNS has advised the Trustee that it disagrees with the conclusion that
it is in default.

At January 28, 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 January 28, 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 months ended January 28, 1995, as
compared to the prior year period, 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 months ended January 28, 1995, decreased as
compared to the prior year period primarily due to (i) lower borrowings related
to a declining investment in Mortgage Certificates and (ii) fewer Senior Notes
and Debentures outstanding due to bond repurchases.
