such   certificates  are  referred  to  as  "Mortgage  Certificates")  and  by
conventional mortgage  loans (together with Mortgage  Certificates referred to
as  "Mortgage Collateral").  The Company's Articles of Incorporation limit the
Company's business activities to those related to the issuance of Bonds.  

      On the  closing of a Series of Bonds  issued by the Company, the Company
applied the net proceeds of the  Bonds toward the simultaneous purchase or the
repayment of indebtedness with respect to the securing such Series of Bonds or
to  fund  loans  to  participating  finance  companies  ("Finance  Companies")
pursuant to funding agreements ("Funding Agreements") (defined in Note 3).

NOTE 3 -    FUNDING AGREEMENTS
      The Company  and  each  participating Finance  Company  entered  into  a
Funding Agreement with  respect to each Series of Bonds  pursuant to which the
Finance  Company  borrowed and  the Company  loaned all  or  a portion  of the
proceeds from the  sale of the  Bonds of such  Series.  All Funding  Agreement
receivables  were collected in February  1994.  However,  on October 26, 1994,
the  Company purchased as an investment from its affiliate, American Southwest
Financial  Corporation  ("ASFC"),  ASFC's rights  and  obligations  in and  to
certain  Funding  Agreements that  ASFC  owned  free  and clear  of  any  Bond
obligations.   The purchase price, which  was equal to  ASFC's carrying amount
(par  value of the Funding  Agreements), included principal  of $2,342,221 and
accrued interest  of $26,440.  The  Company paid $607,153 in  cash, eliminated
its  receivable  from  ASFC in  the  amount  of  $1,276,741 including  accrued
interest to October 26, 1994 (included in other interest income) and signed an
unsecured note to ASFC in the amount of $484,767 which bears interest at prime
as published in  the Wall Street  Journal.  The  weighted average rate  of the
Funding Agreements at the purchase date was 9.715%.

NOTE 4 -    TREASURY STOCK
      The Company  acquired 3,000 shares  of Class A  Common Stock  from three
shareholders  during  the  three-month  period ended  November 30,  1994,  and
retired those shares along with 7,000  Class A shares held at August 31, 1994.
The Company also acquired  1,000 shares of Class B  Common Stock from  another
shareholder, and retired those shares along with 1,000 Class B  shares held at
August 31, 1994.   At November 30,  1994, the  Company had  no treasury  stock
holdings.

NOTE 5 -    RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
      During  the  three-month period  ended  November 30,  1994, advances  to
affiliates were eliminated  as part  of the Company's  acquisition of  Funding
Agreements from ASFC (see Note 3).  As part of that transaction, however,  the
Company signed  an unsecured  note to  ASFC which bears  interest at  prime as
published in  the Wall Street  Journal.  Additional  funds were borrowed  from
ASFC pursuant to unsecured notes bearing interest at prime as published in the
Wall  Street  Journal  for the  Company's  treasury  stock  acquisitions.   At
November 30,  1994, the  principal  balance owed  to  ASFC was  $754,767  plus
accrued interest of $4,853.  The prime rate at November 30, 1994, was 8.5%.

      On  November 30, 1994  the Company  was acquired  by American  Southwest
Holdings,  Inc. ("Holdings")  in conjunction with  a tax free  exchange by the
Company's Class A shareholders  of 100% of the Company's Class A Common Stock,
together with  100% of  Class A  Common Stock of  ASFC and  American Southwest
Affiliated Companies,  for shares of Class A  Common Stock of Holdings.   As a
result  of the  change in shareholder  ownership the  Company changed  from an
August 31 fiscal year end to a December 31 calendar year end.  The change will
facilitate both financial and tax reporting in the future.

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 the Class A shareholder.  Class B shareholders' rights are limited
to a return of capital upon dissolution together with a share of the Company's
profits, if  any, upon dissolution, provided such profits were not paid to the
Class A shareholder as dividends prior to such dissolution.

NOTE 7 -    SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
      On December 30,  1994,  the  Company  sold  its  investment  in  Funding
Agreements (see Notes 3 and 5) for cash.  The Company acquired a 100% interest
in two  corporations which previously were  owned by an affiliate.   These two
entities,  Westam  Mortgage  Financial  Corporation   and  American  Southwest
Financial  Securities   Corporation  are  both  issuers   of  mortgage  backed
securities.


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.   The Company's Articles of Incorporation
limit the  Company's business activities to  those related to the  issuance of
Bonds.  The Company  last issued a Series of  Bonds in July 1987 and  redeemed
all of its then outstanding Bonds in February 1994.  
Results of Operations
      The Company's net income  for the three-month period  ended November 30,
1994, increased  compared to the  three-month period ended  November 30, 1993.
Net  income for  the current  period resulted  primarily from  interest income
pursuant to  the Funding Agreements  acquired during the quarter.   Net income
for the 1993 period presented resulted primarily from other interest since the
interest  income pursuant to Funding  Agreements was completely  offset by the
interest expense on the Bonds.
      Included  in other interest income  is interest earned  on the Company's
cash and  cash  equivalents and  advances to  affiliates.   Income from  these
sources  dropped  slightly as  a  result of  the  Company's investment  in the
Funding Agreements, as well as the collection of receivables from affiliates.
      Other  expenses are  primarily professional  fees resulting  from normal
business operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
      At  November 30,  1994, the  Company had  cash  and cash  equivalents of
$16,646.  The  Company utilized its  cash during the  quarter to purchase  its
investment in Funding Agreements.
