                               NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                       July 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 July 29, 1995, the Company had assets of approximately $6.07 million and
 liabilities secured  by  such  assets of approximately $5.57 million, thus
 having a net difference of approximately $500,000 available for holders of
 Senior Notes and Debentures.

 The Company has not paid the interest due January 15, 1995 and July 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 was advised by the Trustee for said Senior  Notes  that it
 believed that PNS was in default because it was "unable to pay its debts as the
 same  come  due."  The Trustee has purportedly accelerated payment of the
 Senior  Notes  although  the  Trustee  has  taken  no legal action.  PNS has
 not paid the interest  due  on July 15, 1995 on its Senior Notes and such
 default has continued beyond the 30 day "grace" period.

 As a result of the continued default due to the non-payment of interest on the
 Convertible  Debentures and Senior Notes, 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 July 29, 1995, approximately  $5.26  million of Senior Notes and $22.92 
 million of Debentures remained 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 any enforcement  action
 which  may  or may not be taken by indenture trustees or bondholders 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

                                             6<PAGE>





 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.  It has not been determined what course of action the
 Company may pursue with respect  to debt service comprising interest payments
 on 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  July 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 8.1% and the
 annual interest rate on the related borrowings approximated 5.8%.  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 nine months ended July 29,
 1995 and July 30, 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 July 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 and July 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 was advised by the Trustee for said Senior  Notes  that it
 believed that PNS was in default because it was "unable to pay its debts as
 the  same  come  due."  The Trustee has purportedly accelerated payment of the
 Senior Notes, although the Trustee has taken no legal action.  PNS has not paid
 the interest due on  July 15, 1995 on its Senior Notes within and such default
 has continued beyond the 30 day "grace" period.

 As a result of the continued default due to the non-payment of interest on the
 Convertible  Debentures and the Senior Notes, 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  July  29, 1995, the Company had assets of approximately $6.07 million and
 liabilities secured by such assets of approximately $5.57 million, thus having
 a net difference of approximately $500,000 available for holders of Senior
 Notes and Debentures.

 At July 29, 1995, approximately $5.26 million of Senior Notes and $22.92
 million of Debentures remained 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 any enforcement action
 which may or may not be taken by indenture trustees or bondholders 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. 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 nine months ended July 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 nine months ended July 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 Senior Notes, 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.
