INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT



The Compensation Committee of the
  Board of Directors of Newhall Management
  Corporation and Participants of The Newhall
  Land and Farming Company Employee Savings Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for Plan
benefits of The Newhall Land and Farming Company Employee Savings Plan as of
December 31, 1994 and 1993 and the related statements of changes in net assets
available for Plan benefits for each of the years in the three-year period
ended December 31, 1994.  These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Plan'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.  

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in 
all material respects, the net assets available for Plan benefits of The 
Newhall Land and Farming Company Employee Savings Plan as of December 31, 1994
and 1993 and the changes in those net assets for each of the years in the
three-year period ended December 31, 1994 in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules of assets
held for investment and reportable transactions are presented for purposes of
complying with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting
and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and
are not a required part of the basic financial statements.  The fund
information in the statements of net assets available for Plan benefits and the
statements of changes in net assets available for Plan benefits is presented
for purposes of additional analysis rather than to present the net assets
available for Plan benefits and changes in net assets available for Plan
benefits of each fund.  The supplemental schedules and fund information have
been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic
financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated, in all material
respects, in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                      THE NEWHALL LAND AND FARMING COMPANY
                             EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLAN
                         Notes to Financial Statements
                           December 31, 1994 and 1993

(1)   DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

      The Newhall Land and Farming Company Employee Savings Plan (the Plan) is
      a deferred salary reduction plan under Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the
      Code) Section 401(k) and is subject to the provisions of the Employee
      Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).  The Plan permits
      eligible employees of The Newhall Land and Farming Company and
      subsidiaries (the Company) to contribute up to 6% of their compensation
      plus an additional $2,000 for a total not to exceed $9,240 in 1994 in one
      or more of four investment funds.  Employee contributions reduce an
      employee's currently taxable compensation and, therefore, are not subject
      to income taxes until the amounts are withdrawn from the Plan.  An
      employee must complete one year of service and reach age 19 to become
      eligible to participate.

      For employee contributions of up to 6% of compensation, the Company may
      contribute an amount ranging from 25% to 75% of the employee's
      contribution depending upon the employee's length of service with the
      Company.  Company contributions may be suspended if Company net income is
      less than 5% of the capital of the Company's partners or for other
      reasons deemed appropriate by the Company's Board of Directors.

      Participants select the investment funds in which their contributions are
      to be invested.  The investment funds include the Fixed Income Fund and
      the Equity Index Fund and the Plan was amended in March 1994 to add the
      Partnership Depositary Unit Fund and the Balanced Investment Fund.
      Company contributions, when made, are invested proportionately in the
      same funds as the employee contributions.
      
      The total employees participating in each investment option as of 
      December 31, 1994 are as follows:

</TABLE>

      Employee and matching employer contributions to the Plan and income
      earned thereon are fully vested.

      Normal distributions are made in full upon (1) retirement, (2) total and
      permanent disability, (3) death or (4) termination of employment. 
      Participants showing hardship may withdraw part or all of their
      contributions and accumulated earnings or losses, limited to earnings and
      losses incurred prior to January 1, 1990, at the end of a calendar
      quarter.  An employee who withdraws any amount of his contribution account
      is not permitted to resume participation for six months.  Employer
      contributions and the related accumulated earnings may be withdrawn only
      upon one of the four above-listed occurrences.  Distributions and
      withdrawals are made in cash.

                    Notes to Financial Statements, Continued


       Effective October 1989, the Board of Directors amended the savings plan
       to permit loans to Plan participants, secured by the borrowing
       participant's interest in the Plan, on such nondiscriminatory terms and
       conditions as the Plan's administrative committee shall determine,
       provided, however, that such loans comply with applicable requirements
       of ERISA and the Code (including such restrictions as are necessary to
       prevent loans from being treated as distributions under Section 72(p) of
       the Code).  The loans are treated as an earmarked investment of the
       participants with interest repayments credited proportionately to the
       original investment funds liquidated to provide the principal.

       Effective November 1991, the Plan was amended to permit qualified
       rollover contributions from other qualified plans.

       In the event of Plan termination, all payments will be made as 
       soon as practicable from the assets of the Plan based on the 
       amount in each participant's individual and employer contribution 
       accounts.
       
       Newhall Management Corporation is sole trustee for the Plan.
       
       Participants should refer to the Plan document or summary plan
       description for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

(2)    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES

       BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

       The financial statements for the Plan are prepared on an accrual basis,
       primarily from data submitted to the Plan administrator by the companies
       that function as investment managers, Connecticut General Life Insurance
       Company (CIGNA), Newhall Depositary Company and Wells Fargo Bank.

       INVESTMENTS

       All investment income is allocated to individual participant accounts.
       The Fixed Income Fund, held by CIGNA, represents a deposit with an
       insurance company and is stated at contract value, which represents
       contributions and income earned, less distributions and expenses
       charged.  The Partnership Depositary Unit Fund represents partnership
       units in The Newhall Land and Farming Company.  The Equity Index Fund, 
       held by Wells Fargo Bank, is a collective trust invested primarily in 
       the common stocks that comprise the Standard & Poor's 500 Index.  The
       Balanced Investment Fund, held by Wells Fargo Bank, is a collective
       trust invested primarily in common stocks that comprise the Standard &
       Poor's 500 Index and in U.S. Treasury Bonds.  The Plan shares in the
       investment gains and losses of the securities in the Equity Index Fund,
       the Partnership Depositary Unit Fund and the Balanced Investment Fund
       which are stated at fair value measured by quoted market prices.

       Loans to participants are stated at cost, which approximates fair value.

       CONTRIBUTION POLICY

       Contributions by employees are voluntary, determined as a specified
       percentage of base compensation plus overtime, excluding that portion of
       compensation imputed for tax purposes as a result of fringe benefits and
       other similar forms of compensation.

       PLAN EXPENSES

       Expenses incurred in the administration of the Plan are borne by the
       Company.

                    Notes to Financial Statements, Continued


(3)    FEDERAL TAXES

       The Plan requested an updated determination letter in June 1994 from the
       Internal Revenue Service which will state that the Plan, as then
       designed, is in compliance with the applicable requirements of the
       Internal Revenue Code.  The Company believes that a favorable
       determination will be received.

(4)    COMMITMENTS AND RECONCILIATION TO FORM 5500

       Included in net assets available for Plan benefits in the accompanying
       financial statements totaling $178,956 and $0 as of December 31, 1994
       and 1993, respectively, are amounts allocated to accounts of persons who
       have requested withdrawal of their accounts from the Plan.  Such amounts
       are classified as liabilities in the Plan's Form 5500.
