   GREENSTONE ROBERTS ADVERTISING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  1.   The consolidated interim financial statements included
herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant
to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted.  It is therefore suggested that these
consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included
in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A Amendment #1
for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1994.

  2.  These statements reflect all adjustments consisting of
normal recurring accruals which, in the opinion of management,
are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial
position and results of operations and cash flows for the
three and nine month periods ended July 31, 1995 and 1994.

  3.   Results of operations for interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of annual earnings.

  4.  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of the Company and its subsidiary.  All intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated.

  5.  Net income per common share for the three and nine month 
periods have been computed based upon the weighted average number
of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents
outstanding, 9,536,318 for the three and nine
month periods ended July 31, 1995, and 1994.

  6.  Billable production orders in process are net of advance
billings to clients, which were $582,750 at July 31, 1995, and
$122,095 at October 31, 1994.

  7.  During the first quarter of fiscal 1995, the Company
adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities" ("SFAS No. 115"). SFAS No. 115 establishes the
accounting and reporting for investments in equity securities
that have readily determinable fair values and for all
investments in debt securities.  The effect of the
accounting change was not material and the consolidated financial
statements for prior years have not been restated.

Consolidated commission and fee revenue decreased $424,235 or 16%
from $2,579,303 for the quarter ended July 31, 1994 to $2,155,068
for the quarter ended July 31, 1995.  The revenue decrease is
attributable to, 1) the loss of clients which approximated 15%,
2) the net decrease in activity from existing clients which
approximated 8%, this was partially offset by activity from new
clients which approximated 7%.  

Salaries and related costs decreased 2%, from $1,734,946 for the
quarter ended July 31, 1994 to $1,708,835 for the quarter ended
July 31, 1995.  The decrease is the result of a reduction in
staffing in response to the decreased activity, partially offset
by additional staff to support new accounts, and normal salary
increases.  Salaries and related costs as a percent of revenues
increased from 67% for the quarter ended July 31, 1994
to 79% for the quarter ended July 31, 1995, mainly as a result of
the decreased revenues for the quarter.  

Other operating expenses decreased 13% as management continues
its efforts to control costs in various operating areas.

Interest income, net, increased $6,790 as a result of higher
average interest yields on investments made in U.S.
Treasury Securities and Treasury Money Market Mutual Funds.

Income/(loss) before provision/(benefit) for income taxes
decreased $277,374 from an income of $4,553 for
the quarter ended July 31, 1994 to a loss of $272,821 for the
quarter ended July 31, 1995.  The decrease is
the result of the decrease in revenues, partially offset by
management efforts to reduce and control costs as
discussed above. 

Results of operations for the nine months ended July 31, 1995 as
compared to the nine months ended July 31, 1994.

Consolidated commission and fee revenue decreased $1,077,339 or
13% from $8,054,760 for the nine months ended July 31, 1994 to
$6,977,421 for the nine months ended July 31, 1995. 
The revenue decrease is attributable to the loss of Royal
Caribbean Cruise Lines and other clients
which approximated 25%, partially
offset by the net increase in activity from existing clients
which approximated 5% and activity from new clients
which approximated 7%.

Salaries and related costs decreased 5% from $5,440,622 for the
nine months ended July 31, 1994 to $5,145,926 for the nine months
ended July 31, 1995.  The decrease is the result of a reduction
in staffing in response to the decreased activity during the
year, partially offset by additional staff to support new
accounts, and normal salary increases.  Salaries and related
costs as a percent of revenues increased from 68% for the
nine months ended July 31, 1994 to 74% for the nine months ended
July 31, 1995, mainly as a result of the
decreased revenues partially offset by decreased staffing for the
nine months.

Other operating expenses decreased 7%, mainly as a result of
management's continuing efforts to control costs
in various operating areas.

Interest income, net, increased $49,705 as a result of higher
average yields on investments in U.S. Treasury
Securities and Treasury Money Market Mutual Funds.

Income/(loss) before provision/(benefit) for income taxes
decreased $558,037 from an income of $202,647 for
the nine months ended July 31, 1994, to a loss of $355,390 for
the nine months ended July 31, 1995.  The decrease is the result
of the decrease in revenue partially offset by
management's efforts to reduce and control costs.

                                                    
Liquidity and Capital Resources 

The Company's working capital decreased by $76,324 to $3,715,541
at July 31, 1995 as compared to $3,791,865 at October 31, 1994.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $54,422 from $1,006,294 at
October 31, 1994 to $951,872 at July 31, 1995.  The cash and cash
equivalents balance decrease was the result of the timing of
receipts on accounts receivable, payments on accounts payable,
purchases of capital assets and the maturity of short term
investments in U.S. Treasury Bills.  

It should be noted that the Registrant recognizes commissions as
a percentage of expenditures incurred for clients.  Therefore,
the accounts receivable balance does not relate only to
the commissions and fees shown on the income statement, but also
represents receivables for the total of the production costs and
media purchased for clients.  Similarly, the accounts payable
balance includes payables for production costs and media incurred
on behalf of clients.

The Registrant has available an unused committed line of credit
from a bank of $5,000,000 at July 31, 1995.  Management believes
that its current working capital levels will be sufficient to
meet the Registrant's liquidity and working capital requirements
for the foreseeable future.  The Registrant does not
anticipate any material increases of capital expenditures or
other requirements which will adversely affect its
liquidity.
