       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 six month periods ended April 30, 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 six 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 six month periods ended
April 30, 1995, and 1994.

  6. Billable production orders in process are net of advance
billings to clients, which were $541,528 at April 30, 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.

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

Results of operations for the Second Quarter ended April 30,
1995
as compared to the Second Quarter ended April 30, 1994.

Consolidated commission and fee revenue decreased $311,803 or
11%
from $2,822,047 for the quarter ended
April 30, 1994 to $2,510,244 for the quarter ended April 30,
1995.  The revenue decrease is attributable to the
loss of Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd., and other clients, as well
as the decrease in activity from existing clients
which approximated 25%.  This was partially offset by increased
activity from new and existing clients which approximated 14%.  

Salaries and related costs decreased 7%, from $1,872,949 for the
quarter ended April 30, 1994 to $1,733,939 for the quarter ended
April 30, 1995.  The decrease is the result of a reduction in
staffing in response to the decreased activity last year with
the
Company's largest client, partially offset by additional staff
to
support new accounts, and normal salary increases.  Salaries and
related costs as a percent of revenues increased from 66%
for the quarter ended April 30, 1994 to 69% for the quarter
ended
April 30, 1995, mainly as a result of the decreased revenues for
the quarter.  

Other operating expenses decreased 1% as management continues
its
efforts to control costs in various operating areas.

Interest income, net, increased $17,868 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 $149,235 from an income of $174,377 for
the quarter ended April 30, 1994 to an income of $25,142 for the
quarter ended April 30, 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 six months ended April 30, 1995 as
compared to the six months ended April 30, 1994.

Consolidated commission and fee revenue decreased $653,104 or
12%
from $5,475,457 for the six months ended April 30, 1994 to
$4,822,353 for the six months ended April 30, 1995.  The revenue
decrease is attributable to the loss of Royal Caribbean Cruises
Ltd., and other clients, as well as the decrease in activity
from
existing clients which approximated 31%. This was partially
offset by increased activity from new and existing clients
which approximated 19%.

Salaries and related costs decreased 7% from $3,705,676 for the
six months ended April 30, 1994 to $3,437,091
for the six months ended April 30, 1995.  The decrease is the
result of a reduction in staffing in response to the
decreased activity during the year with the Company's largest
client, 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 six months ended April 30, 1994 to 71% at April 30,
1995 mainly as a result of the decreased
revenues partially offset by decreased staffing for the six
months.

Other operating expenses decreased 4%, mainly as a result of
management's continuing efforts to control costs in various
operating areas.

Interest income, net, increased $42,915 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 $280,663 from an income of $198,094 for
the six months ended April 30, 1994, to a loss of $82,569 for
the
six months ended April 30, 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 improved by $64,817 to $3,856,682
at April 30, 1995 as compared to $3,791,865 at October 31, 1994.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $311,285 from $1,006,294 at
October 31, 1994 to $695,009 at April 30, 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 April 30, 1995. 
Management believes that its current working capital levels and
funds provided by profitable operations 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.
