                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 -  BASIS OF PRESENTATION
      The accompanying  unaudited financial  statements have been  prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information  and  with  the  instructions  to  Form 10-Q  and  Rule  10-01  of
Regulation S-X.   They do not  include all information  and notes required  by
generally accepted  accounting principles  for complete  financial statements.
However, except as disclosed herein, there  has been no material change in the
information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements included in the
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 1993.  In the opinion
of Management,  all adjustments considered  necessary for a  fair presentation
have  been included.   Operating results  for the three  and six-month periods
ended February 28, 1994 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may
be expected for the year ending August 31, 1994.

NOTE 2 -    ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

Organization
      American  Southwest Finance Co., Inc. (the  "Company") was organized for
the  purpose  of issuing  mortgage-collateralized  bonds  ("Bonds") in  series
("Series") to facilitate the financing of long-term residential mortgage loans
secured  by  single-family  residences.    The  Bonds  are  collateralized  by
certificates  of the  Government  National Mortgage  Association, the  Federal
National Mortgage  Association and the Federal Home  Loan Mortgage Corporation
(collectively,   all  such   certificates   are  referred   to  as   "Mortgage
Certificates")  and by  conventional  mortgage loans  (together with  Mortgage
Certificates referred to as "Mortgage Collateral").  Each Series of Bonds that
has been issued is a nonrecourse obligation of the Company payable solely from
the  Mortgage  Collateral and  other  collateral  (together the  "Collateral")
pledged to secure such Series of Bonds.  Neither the Company nor the

                                      7
<PAGE>

participating finance companies  ("Finance Companies") have   guaranteed,   or
otherwise  are obligated to pay the Bonds of a Series except from the proceeds
of the Collateral securing such Series of Bonds.

NOTE 3 -    FUNDING AGREEMENTS

      The Company and each  Finance Company participating in a Series of Bonds
enter  into  a  funding  agreement  with  respect  to  each  Series  of  Bonds
(collectively  the "Funding Agreements") pursuant to which the Company lends a
portion  of the  proceeds from  the sale of  the Bonds  of such  Series.  Each
Finance Company  agrees to repay its loan from the Company by causing payments
on its Mortgage Collateral to  be made to the trustee (the "Trustee")  for the
related  Series of  Bonds on  behalf of  the Company  in such  amounts as  are
necessary to pay the principal  of and interest on the Finance  Company's loan
made  from the Company as it becomes  due, and each Finance Company pledges to
the Company Collateral as security for  its loan.  The Company assigns  to the
Trustee  its entire  right,  title  and interest  in  the Collateral  and  all
proceeds are pledged under  the Funding Agreements as security for such Series
of Bonds.  
      Funds  generated  by principal  and  interest  payments on  the  Funding
Agreements securing  a Series  of  Bonds are  held by  the  Trustee until  the
payment  dates for  the Bonds.   Amounts  not required  to make  principal and
interest payments on the Bonds  of a Series are  used to pay current fees  and
expenses, held in  reserve funds for  future fees and  expenses (see Note  6),
held  in special  reserve funds  securing  the Bonds  or paid  to the  Finance
Companies pursuant to the Funding Agreements.

                                      8
<PAGE>

NOTE 4 -    BONDS PAYABLE

      The indenture supplements relating to each Series of Bonds issued by the
Company have provisions which  give the Company  the option of redeeming  such
Bonds in whole or in part  when specific criteria are met.   At the time of  a
redemption, with the  consent of  each participating Finance  Company and  the
Trustee,  the Company sells the underlying Mortgage Collateral and cancels the
appropriate  Funding  Agreements.    The Company  simultaneously  applies  the
proceeds from  such sales to redeem the Bonds  and remits the remainder to the
participating  Finance Companies  after  charging each  a prepayment  penalty.
Prepayment  penalties,   recorded  as  Redemption  Income,   are  assessed  in
accordance  with  specific  policies  established  by  the  Company.    As  of
February 28,  1994,  all Series  of  Bonds  issued by  the  Company  have been
redeemed.     Series 1984-1  was  redeemed  February 1,   1994,  resulting  in
Redemption Income of $261,462.

NOTE 5 -    RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

      At  February 28, 1994, Receivables from Affiliate consisted of a loan to
American  Southwest Affiliated Companies ("ASAC").  The loan earns interest at
the prime rate of interest as published in the Wall Street Journal.  At August
31,  1993, Receivables from Affiliate consisted primarily of loans to American
Southwest Financial  Corporation ("ASFC"), who  utilized the  funds to  effect
optional class redemptions on certain of its Bonds.  

NOTE 6 -    EARNINGS PER SHARE

      Earnings per share calculations are based on the weighted average number
of Class  A common shares  outstanding, since voting  and dividend  rights are
limited  to Class A shareholders.  Class B shareholders' rights are limited to
a return  of capital upon dissolution  together with a share  of the Company's
profits, if any,

                                      9
<PAGE>

upon dissolution, provided such profits were not  paid to Class A shareholders
as dividends prior to such dissolution.

NOTE 7 -    ESCROWED RESERVE FUNDS

      While there were Series of Bonds outstanding, the Company maintained and
invested,  on  behalf  of   participating  Finance  Companies,  certain  funds
("Escrowed  Reserve  Funds") held  primarily  for  future Bond  administration
expenses.  After  the final Series of Bonds was redeemed  February 1, 1994 all
excess Escrowed Reserve  Funds were returned  to the Finance  Companies.   The
Escrowed Reserve Funds are not included in the Company's assets or liabilities
on  the accompanying  balance sheets  as of  February 28, 1994  and August 31,
1993.  

NOTE 8 -    SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

      On  March 30,  1994 the  Company acquired  1,000 shares  of its  Class B
common stock and placed the shares in Treasury.

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

      The Company was  organized for the purpose of  issuing various Series of
Bonds  to facilitate  the financing  of long-term  residential  mortgage loans
secured by  single-family residences.   On  the closing of  a Series  of Bonds
issued  by the  Company, the  Company applies  the net  proceeds of  the Bonds
toward the simultaneous purchase or the repayment of indebtedness with respect
to the  Mortgage Collateral securing such Series of  Bonds or to fund loans to
participating Finance Companies  pursuant to Funding Agreements.   The Company
last issued a Series  of Bonds in  July 1987.   Issuance fees ("Bond  Issuance
Fees") charged for each Series of Bonds issued by the Company  are used to pay
Bond offering expenses.

Results of Operations
            The Company's net income for the three-month and six-month periods
ended  February 28, 1994  was significantly  lower when  compared to  the same
periods in 1993.  This decrease is primarily due to lower Redemption Income in
the current periods.
      The  Company's principal  source  of revenue  was  Interest Pursuant  to
Funding Agreements which was completely  offset by Interest  Expense on Bonds.
See Notes 2  and 3 of the accompanying Financial  Statements.  Interest Income
and  related Interest Expense have  declined significantly due  to (i) regular
payments  and  prepayments on  the  Mortgage Collateral  securing  the various
Series of Bonds, and (ii) the  sale of Mortgage Collateral in conjunction with
Bond redemptions.  The Company will no longer receive Interest Income pursuant
to  Funding Agreements, nor incur  the related Interest  Expense subsequent to
the  current period  due to the  February 1, 1994 redemption  of the Company's
final outstanding Series  of Bonds.   Future operations,  if any, will  depend
upon the Company's ability to issue new

                                      11
<PAGE>

Series of Bonds or  engage in other business activities deemed  appropriate by
the Company's Board of Directors.
      Other Interest  Income  consists primarily  of  interest earned  on  the
Company's  Cash,  Cash  Equivalents  and  Receivables  from  Affiliate.    The
Company's  increase in Other Interest Income for the three-month and six-month
periods ended February 28, 1994 as compared to the same periods in 1993 is due
to greater  amounts  of cash  generated  from  net income  and  available  for
investment.
      While  there  were outstanding  Series  of  Bonds, the  Company  derived
Administrative  Fees  by  charging  Finance Companies  for  administration  of
current Bond  administration  funds.    Fees varied  depending  on  investment
returns on these funds held by the Company specifically for payment of current
Bond administration expenses.  At the time of each full redemption of a Series
of  Bonds, excess  current  Bond administration  funds  were returned  to  the
participating Finance  Companies.   Consequently, because of such redemptions,
there is a reduction  of Administrative Fees for the three-month and six-month
periods ended  February 28, 1994 as compared  to the same periods  in 1993 and
the  Company will no  longer receive Administration Fees  unless new Series of
Bonds  are issued.   Current Bond  administration funds  were included  in the
Escrowed Reserve Funds administered  and invested by the Company  on behalf of
the Finance Companies.  See Note 6 of the accompanying financial statements.  

Liquidity and Capital Resources
      During  the  six-month  period  ended  February 28,  1994,  the  Company
collected the loan  to ASFC of $979,704  with interest.  In  January, 1994 the
Company  loaned American  Southwest Affiliated Companies  ("ASAC") $1,600,000.
This loan

                                      12
<PAGE>

earns interest at the prime rate  of interest as published in the  Wall Street
Journal.   The increase in Receivables  from Affiliate was the  primary use of
capital during the 1994 periods presented.  
      The  Company anticipates  that  funds to  meet  its current  and  future
operating needs will be provided from current cash and future operations. 

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
      The primary revenue producing activities of the Company, Bond  issuances
and redemptions, are impacted by interest  rates which in turn are affected by
numerous  factors.  These factors include conditions in financial markets, the
fiscal and monetary policies of the United States government and  the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System, international economic  and financial
conditions  and  other  factors, none  of  which  can  be  predicted with  any
certainty.
      Virtually all of the assets and liabilities of the Company are  monetary
in nature.  As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact  on the
performance of the  Company than  the effects of  general levels of  inflation
since changes in prevailing interest rates will affect the availability, cost,
and expected maturity of Collateral.   This in turn will affect  the Company's
ability to issue new  Series of Bonds and  earn Bond Issuance Fees.   Interest
rates do not  necessarily move in the same direction or  in the same magnitude
as the price of goods and services since such prices are affected by inflation
while interest rates generally are not affected to the same degree.
