NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A -- Basis of Presentation
- -------------------------------

The financial information presented herein should be read in conjunction
with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994.
The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1994 has been derived from
the audited financial statements at that date.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect
consolidation of the operations of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries
and Bobbie Brooks, Incorporated ("Brooks"), an approximately 91%-owned
subsidiary.

At September 30, 1994, the Company discontinued the operations of its retail
and apparel manufacturing segments.  As a result of such discontinuance, the
consolidated financial statements for the periods presented have been
restated.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management,
all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included, all of which are of a normal recurring nature.

Net income (loss) per common share has been computed by dividing net income
(loss) after preferred dividend requirements by the weighted average number
of shares of Common Stock and Class B Stock outstanding during the periods.
The Preferred Stock dividend requirement is an annual variable dividend,
currently $12.50 per share.

The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities," for investments.  Management determines the appropriate
classification of marketable securities at the time of purchase and
reevaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date.  Marketable
securities held as available for sale are carried at fair value with any
unrealized gains or losses reported as a separate component of shareholders'
equity.  Realized gains and losses on marketable securities held as
available for sale are included in other income.  Interest and dividends on
securities classified as available for sale are included in other income.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
         Condition and Results of Operations.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 1995 and 1994
- -------------------------------------------------------------------

The Company has completed its transformation from a company with
predominantly retail and apparel operations into a company which
manufactures and distributes business to business products.

During 1994, the Company closed its retail department store chain and
discontinued its apparel manufacturing operations.  These actions have been
accounted for as discontinued operations.  The Company's continuing
operations primarily consist of Buckeye Business Products, Inc. ("Buckeye")
and Allied Construction Products, Inc. ("Allied").  Each of these operations
is located at the Company's manufacturing facility in Cleveland, Ohio.

As a result of the discontinuance of the Company's retail and apparel
businesses in 1994, the consolidated statement of operations for the 1994
period has been restated to reflect these operations as discontinued.

Sales increased in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1995
primarily as the result of an increase in sales at Allied.

The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of sales and the corresponding
decrease in gross profit percentage, from the 1994 periods to the 1995
periods, is primarily attributable to increased component and part costs
experienced by Allied because of the lower value of the Dollar versus the
Deutsche Mark in 1995, compared to the 1994 periods.

The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage
of sales from the 1994 periods to the 1995 periods includes a decrease at
Allied resulting from the increase in sales.  Allied's borrowing levels in
both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1995 were lower than the
comparable periods in 1994 primarily because of the reduction in debt
resulting from the sale of its building and relocation to the Company's
leased premises.  This reduction along with lower borrowing levels at
Buckeye caused a reduction in interest expense from the 1994 periods to the
1995 periods.



                                       9.

<PAGE>   10
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has almost $12,000,000 of cash, cash equivalents, marketable
securities and other short-term investments, and under $1,000,000 of
long-term debt, at June 30, 1995.

The increases in inventories and accounts payable from December 31, 1994 to
June 30, 1995 reflect Allied's and Buckeye's seasonal build-up of
inventories.

Accrued liabilities decreased from December 31, 1994 to June 30, 1995
primarily as the result of the payment of certain expenses related to the
closing of the retail department store chain.

The Company is evaluating the advantages of a possible merger or other
combination with Brooks and Aspen Imaging International, Inc., approximately
43% of which is owned by Brooks.  The Company also intends to use some of
its cash to make open market purchases of the Company's Common Stock, from
time to time, depending upon market conditions.

Stockholders' equity of $19,005,000 at June 30, 1995 includes $7,000,000
attributable to Preferred Stock liquidation preference.
