PART I

ITEM 1 - BUSINESS

PSS, Inc. ("PSS"), through its wholly owned subsidiary, PNS Inc. ("PNS"), owns
PSSC Inc. ("PSSC"); together, PSS, PNS and PSSC are referred to collectively as
the "Company".

The Company owns pass-through and participation certificates issued by the
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation backed by whole pool real estate
mortgages ("Mortgage Certificates"), and as a result, is primarily engaged in
the business of owning mortgages and other liens on and interests in real
estate. At October 28, 1995, the Company's principal assets consisted of
approximately $5.8 million of Mortgage Certificates from which interest income
is earned. The Mortgage Certificates are financed with borrowings, payable on
demand, secured by the Mortgage Certificates (the "Mortgage Financing"). The
principal obligations of the Company are the Mortgage Financing borrowings, the
PSS 7-1/8% Convertible Debentures due July 15, 2006 (the "Debentures"), and the
PNS 12- 1/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due July 15, 1996 (the "Senior Notes"),
upon which interest expense is incurred.

From July 1986, when the Company was organized, until June 1988, subsidiaries of
PNS (the "Sellers") operated retail stores that sold a variety of traditional
drugstore and general merchandise items. In June 1988, pursuant to an Agreement
for the Purchase and Sale of Assets the Sellers sold substantially all of their
assets, comprising the Sellers' entire retail operations, to Thrifty Corporation
(a subsidiary of Pacific Enterprises). In consideration for such sale of assets
(the "Asset Sale"), the Sellers received 5.2 million shares of Pacific
Enterprises common stock (the "PET Shares"). During 1990 through 1993, the
Company sold its PET Shares for the purpose of servicing and repurchasing some
of the Debentures and Senior Notes.

ITEM 2 - PROPERTIES

As a result of the Asset Sale, the Company disposed of all its properties.

ITEM 3 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In the opinion of management, there are no material legal proceedings pending to
which the Company is a party or of which any of its assets is the subject.

ITEM 4 - SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

Not applicable.

actual transactions.

HOLDERS

As of November 1, 1995, there were 940 holders of record of the Company's common
stock.

DIVIDENDS ON COMMON STOCK

The Company has never paid a dividend and does not anticipate paying dividends
for the foreseeable future. Any determination as to the payment of dividends
will depend upon future earnings, results of operations, capital requirements,
the financial condition of the Company and such other factors as the Board of
Directors of the Company may consider. The indentures governing the Company's
Senior Notes and Debentures contain covenants which restrict the ability of the
Company to pay dividends (see Note 5 to the financial statements).

ITEM 7 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At October 28, 1995, the Company's principal assets consisted of approximately
$5.8 million of Mortgage Certificates from which interest income is earned and
its principal obligations consisted of Mortgage Financing borrowings, Debentures
and Senior Notes upon which interest expense is incurred.

PNS is restricted by terms of its Senior Notes Indenture from paying dividends
or making other payments to PSS, except that PNS may pay dividends to PSS in
amounts sufficient to enable PSS to meet its obligation on its Debentures when
due. PNS, like its parent company, has a stockholder's deficit.

At October 28, 1995, the Company had tangible assets of approximately $5.92
million and liabilities secured by such assets of approximately $5.37 million,
thus having a net difference of approximately $550,000 available for holders of
Senior Notes and Debentures. At October 28, 1995, approximately $5.26 million of
Senior Notes and $22.92 million of Debentures remain outstanding and annual
interest thereon, in the absence of additional repurchases, approximates
$638,000 and $1.63 million, respectively.

The Company failed to pay the interest due January 15, 1995 and July 15, 1995 on
its Convertible Debentures and such default has continued beyond the 30 day
"grace" period. However, the trustee for the Convertible Debentures has
indicated to the holders of the Debentures that it does not intend to accelerate
payment of the Debentures "because it is unlikely that the Debenture holders
would receive any payment if the Debentures were accelerated."

Although the Company's subsidiary, PNS, paid the interest due on January 15,
1995 on its Senior Notes within the 30 day "grace" period, it failed to make the
interest payment due on July 15, 1995 and such default has continued beyond the
30 day "grace" period. Claiming that PNS is in default because it is "unable to
pay its debts as the same become due" and due to its failure to make the July
15, 1995 interest payment, the trustee for the Senior Notes has accelerated and
declared the principal and interest on the Senior Notes immediately due and
payable. The trustee has since been advised by a representative of the holders
of a substantial portion of the Senior Notes that such holders are in the
process of developing a proposal to reorganize the Company and PNS and has asked
the trustee to forbear from taking any action for so long as discussions are
pending with the Company. Although the Company has not yet received a proposal,
it has been contacted by the representative of such holders and anticipates that
such a proposal will be forthcoming. In the interim, the trustee has taken no
legal action with respect to the default.

5






The Company's future operating results, liquidity, capital resources and
requirements are primarily dependent upon actions which may be taken by the
trustees for the Senior Notes and the Debentures to collect amounts due
thereunder, the payment of amounts due on and purchases of Senior Notes and
Debentures and, to a lesser extent, interest rate fluctuations as they relate to
the market value of Mortgage Certificates and to the spread of interest income
therefrom over interest expense on related borrowings. The Company is
exclusively invested in Mortgage Certificates, and, accordingly, is presently
relying solely on such as its source of cash funds. It has not been determined
what course of action the Company may pursue with respect to debt service
on Senior Notes and Debentures.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

INTEREST INCOME

Interest income for each of the years ended October 28, 1995, October 29, 1994
and October 30, 1993 decreased as compared to the immediate preceding year as a
result of lower balances of investments in Mortgage Certificates, and for the
years ended October 29, 1994 and October 30, 1993 lower annual interest income
rates earned on the adjustable rate Mortgage Certificates. Included in
investment income for the year ended October 28, 1995 is approximately $100,000
of unrealized gains resulting from mark-to-market adjustments. The weighted
average interest income rate earned on the Mortgage Certificates, net of
amortization of premiums, approximated 7.3%, 5.0% and 5.8% during the years
ended October 28, 1995, October 29, 1994 and October 30, 1993, respectively.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense for each of the years ended October 28, 1995, October 29, 1994
and October 30, 1993 decreased as compared to the immediate preceding year
primarily due to lower investments in Mortgage Certificates and related
borrowings upon which interest expense is incurred. The weighted average
interest expense rate on Mortgage Certificate related borrowings approximated
6.0%, 3.9% and 3.4% during the years ended October 28, 1995, October 29, 1994
and October 30, 1993, respectively. Interest expense also decreased during each
of the years ended October 28, 1995, October 29, 1994 and October 30, 1993 as
compared to the preceding year as a result of having fewer Debentures and Senior
Notes outstanding due to bond repurchases.

REALIZED AND UNREALIZED LOSS

During the year ended October 30, 1993, the Company disposed of its remaining
PET Shares and recorded a realized loss of approximately

6





$40 million and a decrease in unrealized loss of approximately $42 million,
representing the previously recognized unrealized loss for PET Shares sold
during the year.

WRITE OFF OF DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS AND ORIGINAL ISSUE
DISCOUNT

As a result of the continued default due to the non-payment of interest on the
Convertible Debentures and Senior Notes, the Company has expensed remaining
deferred financing costs and original issue discount.

EXTRAORDINARY ITEMS

During the year ended October 29, 1994, the Company purchased approximately $14
million and $6 million of its Senior Notes and Debentures, respectively, and as
a result, after the write-off of related deferred financing costs, recorded an
extraordinary gain on early extinguishment of debt, before income taxes, of
approximately $13 million.

During the year ended October 30, 1993, the Company purchased approximately $65
million and $14 million of its Senior Notes and Debentures, respectively, and as
a result, after the write-off of related deferred financing costs, recorded an
extraordinary gain on early extinguishment of debt, before income taxes, of
approximately $49 million.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
of PSS, Inc.:


We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of PSS, Inc. as of October 29,
1994, the related consolidated statements of operations, and cash flows for each
of the two years in the period ended October 29, 1994. In addition, we have
audited the consolidated statement of net liabilities (liquidation basis) as of
October 28, 1995, and the related consolidated statement of changes in net
liabilities (liquidation basis) and cash flows (liquidation basis) for the
period from October 30, 1994 to October 28, 1995. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As described in Note 2 to the financial statements, effective October 28, 1995
the Company adopted the liquidation basis of accounting for presenting its
consolidated financial statements. As a result, the Company has changed its
basis of accounting for periods subsequent to October 29, 1994 from the going
concern basis to a liquidation basis.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of PSS, Inc. and its subsidiaries
as of October 29, 1994, the results of their operations and their cash flows for
each of the two years then ended and their net liabilities in liquidation as of
October 28, 1995, and the changes in their net liabilities (liquidation basis)
and cash flows (liquidation basis) for the period from October 30, 1994 to
October 28, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
applied on the basis described in the preceding paragraph.

PSS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - THE COMPANY

The consolidated financial statements of PSS, Inc. ("PSS"), includes its direct
subsidiary PNS Inc. ("PNS") and its subsidiary PSSC, Inc. ("PSSC"),
collectively, the "Company". The Company is principally owned by Seacorp, Inc.
("Seacorp") and Zimmerman Retailing Group Limited ("Zimco"). Seacorp and Zimco
own approximately 41% and 38%, respectively, of the Company's outstanding common
stock, with the remainder publicly owned.

The Company, through PSSC, owns pass-through and participation certificates
issued by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation backed by whole pool real
estate mortgages ("Mortgage Certificates"), and as a result, is primarily
engaged in the business of owning mortgages and other liens on and interests in
real estate. The principal obligations of the Company are PSSC borrowings
secured by Mortgage Certificates, PNS 12-1/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due July
15, 1996 (the "Senior Notes") and PSS 7-1/8% Convertible Debentures due July 15,
2006 (the "Debentures").

The Company failed to pay the interest due January 15, 1995 and July 15, 1995 on
its Debentures and such default has continued beyond the 30 day "grace" period.
The Company has also failed to make the January 15, 1996 interest payment.
However, the trustee for the Debentures has indicated to the holders of the
Debentures that it does not intend to accelerate payment of the Debentures
"because it is unlikely that the Debenture holders would receive any payment if
the Debentures were accelerated."

Although PNS paid the interest due on January 15, 1995 on its Senior Notes
within the 30 day "grace" period, it failed to make the interest payment due on
July 15, 1995 and such default has continued beyond the 30 day "grace" period.
The Company has also failed to make the January 15, 1996 interest payment.
Claiming that PNS is in default because it is "unable to pay its debts as the
same become due" and due to its failure to make the July 15, 1995 interest
payment, the trustee for the Senior Notes has accelerated and declared the
principal and interest on the Senior Notes immediately due and payable. The
trustee has since been advised by a representative of the holders of a
substantial portion of the Senior Notes that such holders are in the process of
developing a proposal to the Company and PNS and has asked the trustee to
forbear from taking any action for so long as discussions are pending with the
Company. Although the Company has not yet received a proposal, it has been
contacted by the representative of such holders and anticipates that such a
proposal will be forthcoming. In the interim, the trustee has taken no legal
action with respect to the default.

13





NOTE 1 - THE COMPANY (continued)

At October 28, 1995, the Company had tangible assets of approximately $5.92
million and liabilities secured by such assets of approximately $5.37 million,
thus having a net difference of approximately $550,000 available for holders of
Senior Notes and Debentures. At October 28, 1995, approximately $5.26 million of
Senior Notes and $22.92 million of Debentures remain outstanding and, annual
interest thereon, in the absence of additional repurchases, approximates
$638,000 and $1.63 million, respectively. The Company's future operating
results, liquidity, capital resources and requirements are primarily dependent
upon actions which may be taken by the trustees for the Senior Notes and the
Debentures to collect amounts due thereunder, the payment of amounts due on and
purchases of Senior Notes and Debentures and, to a lesser extent, interest rate
fluctuations as they relate to the market value of Mortgage Certificates and to
the spread of interest income therefrom over interest expense on related
borrowings. The Company is exclusively invested in Mortgage Certificates, and,
accordingly, is presently relying solely on such as its source of cash funds. It
has not been determined what course of action the Company may pursue with
respect to debt service on the Senior Notes and Debentures.




NOTE 2 - LIQUIDATION BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

The consolidated financial statements for fiscal 1994 and 1993 were prepared on
a going concern basis of accounting which contemplates realization of assets and
satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Effective October
28, 1995, the Company has adopted the liquidation basis of accounting for
presenting its consolidated financial statements. This basis of accounting is
considered appropriate when, among other things, liquidation of a company
appears imminent and the net realizable value of assets are reasonably
determinable. Under this basis of accounting, assets and liabilities are stated
at their net realizable value and estimated costs through the liquidation date
are provided to the extent reasonably determinable.

The net effect of converting from the going concern basis to the liquidation
basis of accounting was an increase in net liabilities of approximately $1.7
million, as a result of recording estimated costs and interest expense to the
liquidation date. No adjustment to the reported value of assets was required.
Under the liquidation basis, the Company has accrued future liabilities and
estimated future net revenues from interest or other income associated with
mortgage certificates.



14





NOTE 2 - LIQUIDATION BASIS OF ACCOUNTING (CONTINUED)

The conversion from the going concern to liquidation basis of accounting has
required the determination of significant estimates and judgments. A summary of
significant estimates and judgments utilized in preparation of the October 28,
1995 consolidated financial statements on a liquidation basis follows:

* The Senior Notes July 15, 1996 due date has been utilized
as the liquidation date.

* Mortgage Certificates and related interest receivable are
stated at estimated market value.

* Borrowings secured by Mortgage Certificates are stated at
face value.

* The reserve for estimated costs during the period of
liquidation represents estimates of costs (primarily legal
and trustee fees) to be incurred in the future to the
liquidation date.

* Net estimated interest income to be earned on Mortgage
Certificates in excess of interest expense on related
borrowings is considered in determining the reserve for
estimated costs during the period of liquidation.

* Senior Notes and Debentures and related interest accrued
through October 28, 1995 are stated at face value.

* The reserve for interest during the period of liquidation
represents interest on Senior Notes and Debentures for the
period from October 29, 1995 to July 15, 1996.

All of the above estimates and judgments may be subject to change as facts and
circumstances change. Similarly, actual costs and expenses may differ
significantly depending on a number of factors, particularly the length of the
liquidation period.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

CASH AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS

Cash and short-term investments, having maturities of three months or less when
purchased, are primarily comprised of interest-bearing short-term bank deposits.

INVESTMENT IN MORTGAGE CERTIFICATES

The investment in Mortgage Certificates is recorded at estimated fair value,
based upon market prices obtained from traders. Gains and losses realized on
sale are determined utilizing the specific identification method. Premiums paid
are amortized utilizing the interest method. Gains and losses realized upon sale
of Mortgage Certificates and unrealized gains and losses resulting from
mark-to-market adjustments are included in investment income.

INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

As explained in Note 2, effective October 28, 1995, the Company adopted the
liquidation basis of accounting, which reports an excess of liabilities over
assets. Accordingly, the presentation of per common share information on a
liquidation basis is not considered meaningful and has been omitted.

Income (loss) per common share data for periods prior to October 28, 1995 have
been computed on the basis of 19,473,728 shares outstanding. For purposes of
calculating income (loss) per common share, the conversion of the PSS 7-1/8%
Convertible Debentures would be antidilutive and thus was not assumed.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain reclassifications have been made in prior years' financial statements.

NOTE 4 - INVESTMENT IN MORTGAGE CERTIFICATES

Mortgage Certificates are financed with borrowings provided by an investment
bank pursuant to a letter agreement (the "Financing Agreement"). Borrowings
pursuant to the Financing Agreement (the "Mortgage Financing") are secured by
the Mortgage Certificates. In the event of a decrease in the aggregate market
value of the Mortgage Certificates below the requirements of the Financing
Agreement, additional collateral is required. Principal and interest payments
received on Mortgage Certificates are maintained in an interest earning account
and are released to the Company, at its request, after all interest and any
"mark-to-market" indebtedness then due have been paid. The Mortgage Financing is
payable on demand and generally bears interest at rates approximating LIBOR plus
10 basis points. Mortgage Financing borrowings and related interest rates
approximated $5.3 million and 6.0% at October 28, 1995 and $10 million and 5.1%
at October 29, 1994, respectively. During the years ended October 28, 1995,
October 29, 1994 and October 30, 1993, the average balance of mortgage related
borrowings outstanding approximated $5 million, $91 million and $143 million,
and the weighted annual average interest expense rates approximated 6.0%, 3.9%,
and 3.4%, respectively.

At October 28, 1995, the average annual interest rate to be earned on the
Mortgage Certificates approximated 8.0% as determined on a basis that interest
rates do not change. The rate of interest on the Mortgage Certificates is
adjustable based on general interest rate trends with certain maximums,
including limits of 2% for annual interest rate changes and interest rate
maximums of approximately 13%. The weighted average interest income rates earned
on the Mortgage Certificates, net of amortization of premiums, approximated
7.4%, 5.0% and 5.8% during the years ended October 28, 1995, October 29, 1994
and October 30, 1993, respectively.

The Company sold approximately $1 million, $99 million and $13 million of
Mortgage Certificates during the years ended October 28, 1995, October 29, 1994
and October 30, 1993, respectively.

NOTE 5 - SUBORDINATED DEBT

Subordinated debt and related interest payable through the balance sheet dates
are summarized as follows (thousands of dollars):


October 28, October 29,
1995 1994
------ ------

PNS 12-1/8% Senior Notes $ 5,258 $ 5,258
Interest payable on Senior Notes 504 187
------- -------
$ 5,762 $ 5,445
======= =======

PSS 7-1/8% Debentures $ 22,920 $ 22,920
Interest payable on Debentures 2,107 479
------- -------
$ 25,027 $ 23,399
======= =======




In July 1986, the Company completed three public securities offerings (the
"Public Offerings"). PNS issued $150 million of Senior Notes (at a price of
98.6%) and PSS sold 3.25 million shares of its common stock and issued at par
$150 million of Debentures convertible to PSS common stock at $19.68 per share
(the conversion price is subject to adjustment in the case of dilution). Debt
financing costs and the discount on the Senior Notes have been amortized over
the term of the borrowings. PSS invested the net proceeds from its two offerings
in PNS, in the form of a contribution to capital and an intercompany debenture
between PNS and PSS (the "Intercompany Debenture") in the amount of $150 million
with substantially the same interest rate and redemption provisions as the
Debentures. At October 28, 1995, the Intercompany Debenture approximated $9
million.

As explained in Note 1, the Company is in default due to the non-payment of
interest on the Senior Notes and Debentures. As a result, during the year ended
October 28, 1995 the Company expensed remaining deferred financing costs and
original issue discount.

The indenture governing the Senior Notes restricts the ability of PNS and its
subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments to PSS. The Senior Notes
indenture permits PNS to pay dividends to PSS in amounts sufficient to enable
PSS to meet its obligations on the Debentures when due (to the extent payments
are not made to PSS when due pursuant to the Intercompany Debenture), provided
that no event of default (as defined in the Senior Notes indenture) has occurred
and is continuing. PNS, like its parent company, has a stockholder's deficit.

The Senior Notes and Debentures provide for semiannual interest payments and are
unsecured. Principal repayment on the Senior Notes is due in full on July 15,
1996. The Debentures require annual principal payments of approximately $11
million commencing July 15, 1996 until July 15, 2006 when the balance is due; by
utilizing Debentures which the Company has previously acquired, there will be no
scheduled maturity payments required before 2006.

18





NOTE 5 - SUBORDINATED DEBT (continued)

The indentures for the Senior Notes and Debentures contain certain restrictive
covenants which, among other things, limit dividends and similar distributions
to stockholders, redemptions and retirements of the Company's equity,
essentially prohibiting such transactions as of October 28, 1995, limit the
Company's ability to incur debt, and restrict action and agreements by the
Company that would prohibit dividends and similar distributions to the Company
from its subsidiaries, and under certain conditions, require accelerated
redemption payments.

During the year ended October 29, 1994, the Company purchased approximately $14
million of Senior Notes and $6 million of Debentures and, as a result, after the
write-off of related deferred financing costs, recorded an extraordinary gain on
early extinguishment of debt of approximately $13 million.

During the year ended October 30, 1993, the Company purchased approximately $64
million of Senior Notes and $14 million of Debentures in exchange for 500,000
PET Shares and approximately $23 million cash (such total price including
accrued interest), and as a result, after the write-off of related deferred
financing costs, recorded an extraordinary gain on early extinguishment of debt
of approximately $49 million.

Interest paid approximated $319,000, $8 million and $14 million during the years
ended October 28, 1995, October 29, 1994 and October 30, 1993, respectively.


NOTE 6 - INVESTMENT IN PACIFIC ENTERPRISES COMMON STOCK

In June 1988, pursuant to an Agreement for the Purchase and Sale of Assets,
subsidiaries of PNS (the "Sellers") sold substantially all of their assets,
comprising the Sellers' entire retail operations, to Pacific Enterprises. In
consideration for the sale of such assets, the Sellers received approximately
5.2 million shares of Pacific Enterprises common stock (the "PET Shares").

During the year ended October 30, 1993, the Company disposed of its remaining
PET Shares and recorded a realized loss of approximately $40 million and a
decrease in unrealized loss of approximately $42 million, representing the
previously recognized unrealized loss for PET Shares sold during the year.

NOTE 7 - RELATIONSHIP WITH AFFILIATES

Prior to fiscal 1995, affiliates of Seacorp provided the Company with
accounting, legal, tax and other services. Fees for services approximated
$56,000 and $167,000 for the years ended October 29, 1994 and October 30, 1993,
respectively.

19






NOTE 8 - INCOME TAXES

Due to losses reported for the year ended October 28, 1995, there was no
provision for income taxes recorded. During each of the years ended October 29,
1994 and October 30, 1993, the Company recognized an income tax benefit as a
result of income taxes provided on the extraordinary gain on early
extinguishment of debt. The Company also recorded a provision for income taxes
representing a charge in lieu of income taxes that would have been provided in
the absence of net operating loss carryforwards. The income tax benefit
resulting from utilization of net operating loss carryforwards is presented as
an extraordinary item.

For income tax purposes, net operating loss carryforwards, which begin to expire
in 2001, approximate $137 million, and capital loss carryforwards approximate
$120 million, $115 million of which expire in 1997 and 1998. If certain
substantial changes in the Company's ownership should occur, there would be an
annual limitation on the amount of the carryforwards which could be utilized.

NOTE 9 - STOCKHOLDERS' DEFICIT

There have been no changes in common stock or additional paid in capital since
October 29, 1994. As a result of presenting October 28, 1995 financial
statements on the liquidation basis, changes in components of stockholders'
deficit are not presented. The Company's stockholders' deficit and the changes
therein during the two years ended October 29, 1994, are summarized as follows
(thousands of dollars):

ITEM 13 - CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

STOCKHOLDERS' AGREEMENT

GENERAL. On May 7, 1986, Zimco, Seacorp and the Company entered into the
Stockholders' Agreement. Under the Stockholders' Agreement, Zimco and Seacorp
exchanged all of their common stock in Pay'n Save for all of the issued and
outstanding Common Stock of the Company. Subsequently, in consideration of
Seacorp causing to be made available short-term borrowing facilities aggregating
$20 million to the Company, Seacorp, Zimco and certain related parties entered
into an agreement amending the Stockholders' Agreement (the "November 1987
Amendment") in certain respects. In connection with the November 1987 Amendment,
the parent of Seacorp guaranteed Company borrowings by Pay'n Save under such
short-term borrowing facilities (which have since expired) in an amount up to
$15 million.

The Stockholders' Agreement and the November 1987 Amendment were entered into by
Seacorp and Zimco and certain of its related parties on their own behalf and on
behalf of their respective permitted transferees, for the exclusive benefit of
Seacorp and its permitted transferees (the "Seacorp Group"), and Zimco and its
permitted transferees and certain of its related parties (the "Zimco Group").
The Stockholders' Agreement, as amended by the November 1987 Amendment,
terminated in accordance with its terms on October 31, 1995.

The November 1987 Amendment contains certain indemnities in favor of (and for
the benefit of) the Company which remain effective.

Pursuant to separate agreements, the Company has granted certain registration
rights to each group and certain of each group's transferees, including Zimco,
with respect to the shares of common stock acquired pursuant to the
Stockholders' Agreement.

NOMINATION OF DIRECTORS. The Stockholders' Agreement had provided that each
group would nominate and vote for an equal number of nominees on the Company's
Board of Directors and vote as stockholders in favor of each matter previously
approved by a majority of the directors nominated by Zimco and Seacorp and vote
against each matter not so approved. The November 1987 Amendment amended the
Stockholders' Agreement to provide that so long as Julius or Eddie Trump or
their affiliates or certain related parties and certain other designated parties
(collectively, the "Trump Group") remained the beneficial owners, directly or
indirectly, of at least a majority of the shares of common stock owned by
Seacorp as of November 25, 1987, Seacorp would be entitled to nominate as
directors one-half the number of Nonindependent Directors plus one and Zimco
would be entitled to nominate one-half the number of Nonindependent Directors
minus one, and that at all times at least four seats on the Company's Board of
Directors would be reserved for Nonindependent Directors. The Stockholders'
Agreement, as amended, terminated in accordance with its terms on October 31,
1995. Consequently, the Company's two major stockholders, Zimco and Seacorp, are
no longer obligated to nominate and vote for each other's nominees to the
Company's Board of Directors, or to vote as stockholders in favor of each matter
previously approved by a majority of the directors nominated by Zimco and
Seacorp.

-25-




The Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides that actions by the
Company's Board of Directors generally require the affirmative vote of that
number of directors equal to the sum of (i) the number of Independent Directors
(as defined) plus (ii) a majority of the Nonindependent Directors.

CERTAIN VOTING ARRANGEMENTS. The November 1987 Amendment provided that Seacorp
and the Zimco Group would use their best efforts to cause the Seacorp Directors
and the Zimco Directors to vote against any issuance of capital stock of the
Company or its subsidiaries (i) to any affiliate of Seacorp unless the Zimco
Group was first offered the opportunity to purchase a portion of such shares pro
rata in accordance with their then ownership of shares of common stock, for the
same consideration that was to be paid by such affiliate, or (ii) to any entity
not affiliated with Seacorp without the consent or approval of the holders of a
majority of the outstanding shares of common stock, subject in each case to
waiver by the Zimco Directors. This voting arrangement terminated on October 31,
1995.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

The Company does not have a compensation or similar committee.
