FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

         LOMAS FINANCIAL CORPORATION ANNOUNCES NEW SALE AGREEMENT WITH
     FIRST NATIONWIDE FOR REMAINING SERVICING ASSETS OF LOMAS MORTGAGE USA

           DALLAS, TX -- JANUARY 5, 1996 -- Lomas Financial Corporation today
announced that it has asked the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District
of Delaware to grant approval of an amended asset sale agreement between Lomas
Mortgage USA, Inc. (LMUSA) and First Nationwide Mortgage Corporation, a
subsidiary of First Nationwide Bank.  The amended transaction increases the
purchase price by $7,750,000 over the price announced on October 10, 1995 and
provides that LMUSA retains its insurance agencies, which were to have been
sold to First Nationwide under the original agreement.

           A hearing is scheduled for January 11 in Wilmington, DE to consider
the motion.  Subject to court approval, the closing date of the transaction is
scheduled for January 31, 1996.

           Further, First Nationwide will purchase LMUSA's accounts receivable
at their face amount, subject to offsets based on actual collection experience,
rather than buying them net of reserves of approximately $20,500,000.

           The amended purchase agreement contains revised provisions for price
adjustments.  With certain limited exceptions, downward adjustments to the base
purchase price to reflect principal reductions in the servicing portfolio
between July 31, 1995 and the new January 31, 1996 closing date and the run-off
in the servicing portfolio in the 60-day period following such closing date
will be made equal to .95% of the corresponding reductions in principal balance
rather than the 1.10% of such amounts provided in the earlier agreement.

           The new transaction also contains a new indemnification cap (i.e.,
the maximum amount to be withheld from the final installment of the purchase
price).  Previously 15% of the Adjusted Final Purchase Price, the new cap will
be (i) $20,500,000 (the former indemnification "basket" utilized when the
accounts receivable were to be purchased "net") plus (ii) the greater of $16
million or 12% of the Adjusted Base Price.

           Lomas Financial Corporation and Lomas Mortgage USA, Inc. filed for
protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code on October 10,
1995.
