NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


(a)  In  March  1994  the  assets  of  USTravel  Systems  Inc.,  PSG's  travel
     management segment,  were sold.   In August  1994 PSG adopted  a plan  to
     close-down or sell  a metallic waste recycling plant,  the major asset of
     Recontek, Inc., a  subsidiary of PSG, and in December  1994 the plant was
     sold.   Accordingly, travel  management and metallic  waste recycling are
     shown as discontinued operations in 1994.

(b)  In  the  opinion  of  management, the  accompanying  Unaudited  Condensed
     Consolidated  Financial  Statements include  all  adjustments (consisting
     only of normal  recurring adjustments, other than the disposition  of the
     travel  management  and  metallic  waste recycling  businesses  in  1994)
     necessary  for a fair statement of the consolidated financial position at
     June 30, 1995  and the results of operations for the three and six months
     ended June 30, 1995  and 1994, and  cash flows for  the six months  ended
     June 30, 1995 and 1994.  These Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial
     Statements should be read  in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial
     Statements and Notes  thereto contained in the PSG 1994  Annual Report to
     Stockholders (the 1994 Annual Report).

PS Group, Inc.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -  COMPARISON OF THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,
1995 AND 1994

Revenues  - Revenues  from PSG's  fuel sales  and distribution  subsidiary, PS
Trading,  Inc. (PST),  increased 113%  and 59%,  respectively, for  the second
quarter and first six months of 1995 compared to  the 1994 periods as a result
of increased marketing efforts of the wholesale fuel division.

Interest  and other  revenues were down  in the  first half  of 1995 primarily
because  there were  no investment  gains  in 1995  compared to  gains of  $.7
million in 1994's first half.

Costs and expenses -  The increase during the second quarter and first half of
1995 in  the cost of products and services sold reflects the increased volumes
at PST.  The  decrease  in general and administrative expenses  for the second
quarter  and first  half of  1995 is  largely due  to reductions  in corporate
staffing and reduced legal expenses associated with  the securities litigation
described in  the 1994  Annual Report.   Interest expense decreased  in 1995's
second quarter  and first half  primarily due  to lower levels  of outstanding
debt.

Loss on  aircraft disposition -   In June  1995 PSG sold two  Boeing 747-100SF
aircraft which were held  for sale since  they were returned  to PSG in  early
1992 when the lessee of the aircraft, Pan American World Airways, Inc., ceased
operations.   Subsequently,  these  aircraft were  converted  into full  cargo
configuration under an agreement with a third party  vendor, and an obligation
for approximately $20 million was incurred.  This obligation was  paid-off out
of the sale proceeds.   As a result of  this sale, PSG recorded in  the second
quarter of  1995 a  $1.7 million pre-tax  loss on disposition.   The  net cash
proceeds to PSG (after payment of costs and expenses and the  repayment of the
obligation mentioned above) was approximately $1.5 million.

Income taxes -  Taxes  in both 1995 and 1994 differ from the corporate federal
tax rate primarily because of the effect of state taxes.

Segment  results -  In spite  of increased  revenues, PST's  profits decreased
during the first  half of 1995 due  to lower operating margins as  a result of
declining prices  in early 1995. PST's second quarter profits in 1995 and 1994
were approximately the same.

Second  quarter and  first  half results  in 1995  for  aircraft leasing  were
sightly improved over 1994 primarily due to reduced interest expense.

Statex operating results declined  slightly in 1995 principally due  to higher
costs.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

At June  30,  1995 PSG's  principal  source of  liquidity  was cash  and  cash
equivalents of $28 million,  a $5.2 million  increase from December 31,  1994.
The major changes  in cash and cash equivalents are  detailed in the Unaudited
Condensed  Consolidated  Statements  of  Cash  Flows.    PSG's  capitalization
consisted of  50% long and short-term  obligations and 50% equity  at June 30,
1995  compared to 52%/48% at December 31, 1994.  There was working capital  of
$22.3 million at June 30, 1995 compared to working capital of $10.3 million at
December 31, 1994. At  the end of 1995's  second quarter PSG had  $5.7 million
outstanding under its bank credit agreement, consisting entirely of letters of
credit, all  of which were cash  collateralized.  No borrowings  are permitted
under the  bank credit agreement.   PSG  is working to  extend or replace  the
current credit agreement which expires in early November 1995.

In  July 1995  the Federal Court  signed an Order  preliminarily approving the
settlement   reached  in  March  1995  to  settle  all  pending  class  action
litigation.   While the  $5 million  settlement liability  was recorded  as of
December 31, 1994, the actual cash payment was made in July 1995.

Realization  of certain of PSG assets is dependent upon the future performance
by USAir,  Inc. (USAir)  and  Continental Airlines,  Inc. (Continental)  under
aircraft leases with PSG.  Should either USAir or Continental default on their
leases with PSG or reject certain of such leases, PSG would suffer significant
losses  on the ultimate disposal of the  related aircraft or upon the ultimate
repossession of  the aircraft by the  lenders.  The eventual  outcome of these
matters cannot  be determined at this time.  For a more complete discussion of
USAir's and Continental's  relationships to PSG's financial condition refer to
PSG's 1994 Annual Report.  PSG  refers readers to public information regarding
USAir  and  Continental  for  current  details  relating  to  their  financial
condition.  USAir frequently makes important announcements.   For  example, on
July 28, 1995, USAir announced that  "it is ending discussions with its unions
on a  wage concession  and restructuring package  and now will  concentrate on
reducing its labor costs  through traditional collective bargaining."    USAir
also  reported that  it is  vital to  their long-term  future to  reduce their
costs.

As discussed in the 1994 Annual Report, PSG is subject to tax regulations that
severely  limit future  usage of  net operating  losses and  tax  credit carry
forwards for tax purposes.  This limitation occurs if there  is a "calculated"
50% stock ownership change over a three  year period.  While this test has not
yet been exceeded (approximate 38% change at year end 1994),  future ownership
changes, primarily involving present or future holders of 5% or  more of PSG's
shares, may result  in significant limitations in  usage of tax  benefit carry
forwards.   Generally, PSG has no  control of purchases or  sales by investors
who acquire 5% or more of PSG shares.

PSG believes that,  absent a failure by USAir to meet its lease obligations to
PSG, its  cash and cash equivalents  plus projected cash flow  are adequate to
meet the operating  and planned  capital needs of  PSG in  both the short  and
long-term.
