PUBCO CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
($ in 000's except share amounts)

March 31, 1995


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.


NOTE B -- Inventories

The components of inventories consist of the following:

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



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 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.  The loss
from discontinued operations net of taxes in the three months ended March 31,
1994, represents the operating results from these discontinued segments for the
three months ended March 31, 1994.

Sales increased in the three months ended March 31, 1995, from the three months
ended March 31, 1994, 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 period to the 1995 period,
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 period.

                                      8.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has over $12,000,000 of cash, cash equivalents, marketable
securities and other short-term investments, and under $1,000,000 of long-term
debt, at March 31, 1995.

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

Accrued liabilities decreased from December 31, 1994 to March 31, 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
41% of which is owned by Brooks.

Stockholders' equity of $17,698,000 at March 31, 1995 includes $7,000,000
attributable to Preferred Stock liquidation preference.
