                         PART I.    FINANCIAL INFORMATION



Item 1.	Financial Statements.
        --------------------

   The financial statements included herein have been prepared by the 
Registrant, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission.  In the opinion of the Registrant, all
adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to
present fairly the results of operations for the periods covered have been
made.  Certain information and note disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules
and regulations, although the Registrant believes that the disclosures are
adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
   It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read
in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included
in the Registrant's latest annual report on Form 10-K.  The results for the
periods covered hereby are not necessarily indicative of the operating
results for a full year.

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF 
           FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



                            BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The preceding Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements present
financial data of H.F. Ahmanson & Company and Subsidiaries.  As used herein
"Ahmanson" means H.F. Ahmanson & Company, a Delaware corporation, and the
"Company" means Ahmanson and its subsidiaries.  The Company is one of the
largest residential real estate-oriented financial services companies in the
United States, and is principally engaged in the savings bank business and
related financial service activities.  Home Savings of America, FSB ("Home
Savings"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Ahmanson, is currently the largest
savings institution in the United States.  Certain amounts in prior periods'
financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current
presentation.

                                   OVERVIEW

     During the second quarter of 1994 the Company recorded improved earnings 
due to improving asset quality, reduced general and administrative expenses,
and asset growth.

     The 1994 second quarter earnings were $73.5 million, or $0.51 per fully 
diluted common share, an improvement of 33% over the 1994 first quarter.  In
the 1994 first quarter, the Company earned $55.4 million, or $0.36 per fully
diluted common share, after setting aside $30 million, or $0.14 per fully 
diluted common share on a net after tax basis, as a special addition to the
allowance for loan losses related to an estimate of real property losses
sustained by its borrowers due to the Northridge earthquate in January.  The
loss of $291.0 million, or $2.55 per fully diluted common share, in the second
quarter of 1993 reflected the decision to sell $1.2 billion of nonaccrual 
loans and other steps taken by the Company during that period to position 
itself for future opportunities.  In the first six months of 1994, the Company
earned $128.9 million, or $0.87 per fully diluted common share, compared to a
loss of $258.1 million, or $2.33 per fully diluted common share, in the first
six months of 1993.

     Net interest income totaled $336.9 million for the second quarter of 1994 
compared to $350.6 million in the first quarter of 1994 and $345.2 million in 
the second quarter of 1993.  The declines in net interest income are primarily
due to the reduction in the net interest margin from 3.00% in the second 
quarter of 1993 and 2.96% in the first quarter of 1994 to 2.81% in the second
quarter of 1994.  This margin compression principally reflects the timing
difference between the repricing of the lagging 11th District Cost of Funds
Index, to which the bulk of the Company's assets are tied, and the repricing
of the Company's deposits and borrowings in the increasing interest rate
environment during the quarter.  This margin compression may continue,
especially if interest rates continue to rise.

     The Company continues to reduce nonperforming assets, which fell by $14.4 
million in the second quarter to $943.2 million, or 1.83% of total assets at
June 30, 1994.  This is the lowest level of nonperforming assets since
December 1990.  In addition, the level of delinquent loans, those 30-59 and 
60-89 days past due, continues to decline and loans in those categories
reached their lowest levels since 1990.

                                      6

     As the loan portfolio improves, credit costs decline.  Total credit costs
in the second quarter of 1994 were $54.9 million (loss provisions and REO
expense) compared to $102.6 million in the first quarter of 1994, which
included the $30 million special provision for earthquake-related losses, and
$517.9 million in the second quarter of 1993, which reflected the decision to
sell $1.2 billion of nonaccrual loans.

     During the second quarter of 1994, the Company sold, through a 
competitive sealed bid process, 479 single family nonaccrual loans with a loan
balance of $44.6 million.  Existing loss allowances were adequate to absorb
the losses associated with the sale.  The Company may, from time to time,
offer additional packages of nonaccrual loans for competitive bid.

     The Company's primary loan product, the Adjustable Rate Mortgage ("ARM"), 
is very attractive to home purchasers in the present interest rate environment
and gives the Company a competitive marketing advantage.  As a result, the
Company funded $5.2 billion of residential mortgages in the first half of
1994, of which 92% were ARMs.  This ratio has increased dramatically from 77%
for the year 1993 and as the current year progressed from 84% in January to
99% in June.

     The Company has initiated programs directed toward the first-time home 
buyer which involve higher loan-to-value ("LTV") ratios.  Higher LTV loans
(those involving downpayments of 10% or less) accounted for 16% of new
mortgage business in the first half of 1994.  The Company does not require
private mortgage insurance on these loans and, to recognize the additional
risks associated with higher LTV loans, these loans have higher contractual
spreads and higher initial interest rates than loans with larger downpayments.
The Company adheres to strict underwriting standards for these higher LTV
loans.

     In addition, as rates have moved higher throughout the first half of 
1994, amortization and prepayments on loans and mortgage-backed securities
have slowed, thus contributing to growth in the portfolio on an annualized
basis of 7% from year-end 1993.

     General and administrative expenses both in absolute dollars and as a 
percentage of average assets fell in the latest quarter when compared to the
first quarter of 1994 and the second quarter a year ago, as the Company
continues to exercise strict control of its operating expenses.  The Company's
stated goal was to achieve a ratio of G&A to average assets of 1.50% for
1994.  The actual ratio of G&A to average assets for the first six months of
1994 was 1.49%.  The Company continues to concentrate its efforts on future
technology-generated savings in the manner in which it originates and
services loans.

     During July 1994, Home Savings announced that it was purchasing $1.2 
billion of deposits in the 30 branches of five Southern California thrifts at
an average premium of approximately 2%.  A total of 21 of these branches will
be consolidated into nearby Home Savings branches, increasing the average size
and efficiency of those branches.  In addition, on July 25, 1994, Home
Savings announced that it had signed an agreement to sell approximately $1.5
billion of deposits in its 26 Savings of America branches in Illinois for a
deposit premium of approximately 8.5%.  The Company intends to continue and
expand its mortgage lending business in the Chicago market.

                            RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Interest Income
- - -------------------
     Net interest income was $336.9 million in the second quarter of 1994, a
decrease of $8.3 million or 2%, and was $687.5 million in the first six months
of 1994, an increase of $2.5 million or less than 1%, compared to the same
periods of 1993.  The following tables present the Company's Consolidated
Summary of Average Financial Condition and net interest income for the periods
indicated.  Average balances on interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities are computed on a daily basis and other average balances are
computed on a monthly basis.  Interest income and expense and the related
average balances include the effect of discounts or premiums.  Nonaccrual
loans are included in the average balances, however, delinquent interest on
such loans has been excluded from interest income.

     The following table presents the changes for the second quarter and first
six months of 1994 from the respective periods of 1993 in the interest income
and expense attributable to various categories of assets and liabilities for
the Company as allocated to changes in average balances and changes in average
rates.  Because of numerous and simultaneous changes in both balances and
rates, it is not possible to allocate precisely the effects thereof.  For
purposes of this table, the change due to volume is initially calculated as
the change in average balance multiplied by the average rate during the
current period and the change due to rate is calculated as the change in
average rate multiplied by the average balance during the preceding year's
period.  Any change that remains unallocated after such calculations is
allocated proportionately to changes in volume and changes in rates.

     The decrease of $8.3 million or 2% in net interest income in the second 
quarter of 1994 resulted from a decrease of 19 basis points in the net
interest margin to 2.81% for the second quarter of 1994 from 3.00% for the
second quarter of 1993, partially offset by an increase of $1.9 billion in
average interest-earning assets.  The increase of $2.5 million, or less than
1%, in net interest income for the first six months of 1994 as compared to the
same period of 1993 relects an increase of $1.9 billion in average interest-
earning assets, substantially offset by a decline of 11 basis points in the
net interest margin to 2.88% for the 1994 period from 2.99% for the 1993
period.  The increases in average interest-earning assets were funded with
interest-bearing liabilities, sales of REO and issuances of the Company's
Preferred Stock.

     Net interest income and the net interest margin benefited from 
improvements in the credit quality of the Company's mortgage portfolio.
Provisions for losses of delinquent interest related to nonaccrual loans of
$10.1 million and $17.9 million in the second quarter of 1994 and 1993,
respectively, had the effect of reducing the net interest margin by eight
basis points and 15 basis points in the respective periods.  Such provisions
came to $21.4 million in the first six months of 1994 and $41.9 million in the
first six months of 1993, reducing the net interest margin by nine basis
points and 19 basis points, respectively.

     The Company has a continuing goal of maintaining its cost of funds below 
the monthly weighted average cost of funds for Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB")
Eleventh District savings institutions as computed by the FHLB of San
Francisco ("COFI").  The Company's cost of funds was 27 basis points and 44
basis points below the average of COFI of 3.73% and 4.11% during the second
quarters of 1994 and 1993, respectively.  During the first six months of 1994
and 1993, the Company's cost of funds was 30 basis points and 50 basis points
below the average of COFI of 3.71% and 4.21% for the respective 1994 and 1993
periods.

     The compression in the net interest margin for the 1994 second quarter 
and six month periods partially reflects the lag between changes in COFI to
which a majority of the Company's interest-earning assets are tied and changes
in the repricing of the Company's interest-bearing liabilities.  The
compression was diminished by actions taken in the last half of 1993 and the
first six months of 1994 to reduce the Company's sensitivity to upward rate
movement, including extending maturities and lengthening interest rate
repricing terms on borrowings, and strategic rate changes on certain deposits.

     The Company believes that its net interest income is somewhat insulated 
from interest rate fluctuations within a fairly wide range primarily due to
the adjustable rate nature of its loan and MBS portfolio.  However, additional
increases in rates could contribute to further compression of the net interest
margin.  In addition, substantially all ARMs originated since 1981 have
maximum and minimum interest rates and all ARMs originated after 1987 have a
maximum interest rate.  Such maximum interest rates could also contribute to
compression of the net interest margin.  For information regarding the
Company's strategies related to changes in interest rates, see "Financial
Condition - Asset/Liability Management."

Provision for Loan Losses
- - -------------------------
     For the second quarters of 1994 and 1993, the provision for loan losses 
was $33.1 million and $437.9 million, respectively, a decrease of $404.8
million or 92%.  The provision for loan losses was $108.6 million in the first 
six months of 1994 compared to $504.8 million in the first six months of 1993,
a decrease of $396.2 million or 78%.  The provision for the first six months
of 1994 includes $30 million representing the Company's estimated losses from
real property damage sustained by its borrowers in the Northridge, California
earthquake in January 1994.  The decreases in the provisions from the 1993
periods reflect, among other things, provisions for losses related to the
second quarter 1993 decision to sell $1.2 billion of delinquent, nonaccruing
single family loans.  For additional information regarding the allowance for
possible loan losses, see "Financial Condition - Asset Quality - Allowance for
Loan Losses."

Other Income
- - ------------
     Gain on Sales of MBS.  There were no MBS sold during the second quarter 
of 1994, compared to MBS totaling $79.9 million sold in the second quarter of
1993 for a pre-tax gain of $3.3 million.  During the first six months of 1994,
MBS totaling $400.2 million were sold for a pre-tax gain of $4.9 million,
compared to a pre-tax gain of $3.3 million on sales of MBS totaling $79.9
million in the first six months of 1993.
                                           11

<PAGE>
     Gain (Loss) on Sales of Loans.  During the second quarter of 1994, loans 
originated for sale totaling $113.1 million were sold for a pre-tax loss of
$6.3 million as compared to such loans totaling $659.7 million sold for a pre-
tax gain of $17.0 million in the second quarter of 1993.  In the first six
months of 1994, loans originated for sale totaling $480.6 million were sold
for a pre-tax loss of $10.0 million compared to such loans totaling $1.1
billion sold for a pre-tax gain of $31.5 million in the first six months of
1993.  The losses in the current year periods reflect the reduced demand in
the secondary market for fixed rate loans, most of which the Company
originates for sale, and adjustments to the gains on loans previously sold
with recourse.

     Other Fee Income.  Other fee income decreased $2.2 million or 7% to $27.4 
million in the second quarter of 1994 and decreased $4.6 million or 8% to
$54.3 million in the first six months of 1994 as compared to the same periods
of 1993.  The decreases were primarily due to reductions in credit card fees,
resulting from the sale of the credit card portfolio in the fourth quarter of
1993, commission income from investment and insurance services and late
charges reflecting decreases in loan delinquencies.

     Operations of REI.  Losses from operations of REI decreased $165.8 
million or 97% to $4.8 million in the second quarter of 1994 compared to the
second quarter of 1993 primarily due to a decrease of $158.8 million in the 
provision for losses.  Losses from operations of REI decreased $177.1 million
or 95% to $10.3 million for the first six months of 1994 as compared to the 
same period of 1993 primarily due to a decrease of $169.1 million in provision
for losses.  The Company's net book value of REI decreased $31.8 million or 7%
to $411.9 million at June 30, 1994 from $443.7 million at December 31, 1993.
The allowance for possible losses on REI was $285.4 million, or 40.9% of gross 
book value of REI at June 30, 1994 compared to $341.7 million, or 43.5% of
gross book value of REI at December 31, 1993.

     The Company intends to continue its withdrawal from real estate 
development activities.  Although the Company does not intend to acquire new
properties, it intends to develop, hold and/or sell its current properties
depending on economic conditions.  Although management believes the net
realizable value of REI and the related allowance for possible losses are
fairly stated, declines in net realizable value and additions to the allowance
for possible losses could result from continued weakness in specific project
markets, changes in economic conditions and revisions to project business
plans, which may reflect decisions by the Company to accelerate the
disposition of the properties.

Other Expenses
- - --------------
     G&A Expenses.  G&A expenses decreased $15.1 million or 7% to $185.9 
million in the second quarter of 1994 and $20.6 million or 5% to $377.7
million in the first six months of 1994 as compared to the same periods of
1993, reflecting the continued strict control of operating expenses and
reductions in personnel costs related to lower levels of nonperforming assets.
The ratio of G&A expenses to average assets (the "G&A ratio") decreased to
1.46% in the second quarter of 1994 compared to 1.61% in the second quarter of
1993, reflecting the 7% decrease in G&A expenses and a 2% increase in average
assets.  The G&A ratios for the first six months of 1994 and 1993 were 1.49%
and 1.60%, respectively, which reflects the 5% decrease in G&A expenses and a
2% increase in average assets.
                                           12
<PAGE>
     Operations of REO.  Losses from operations of REO decreased $58.2 million 
or 73% to $21.9 million in the second quarter of 1994 compared to the same
period of 1993 due to decreases in the provision for losses of $38.4 million,
net losses on sales of $16.1 million and net operating expenses of $3.7
million.  For the comparable six month periods, the decrease of $83.4 million
or 63% to $48.9 million in the operations of REO reflects decreases in the
provision for losses of $52.6 million, net losses on sales of $25.2 million
and operating expenses of $5.6 million.

     The lower losses in the 1994 periods reflect a reduction in foreclosures 
as a result of the sales of nonaccrual loans in 1993 and the first six months
of 1994 and improving credit quality.  For additional information regarding
REO, see "Financial Condition - Asset Quality - Nonperforming Assets and
Potential Problem Loans."

     Provision for Income Taxes (Benefit).  The changes in the provision for 
income taxes (benefit) primarily reflect the changes in pre-tax earnings
(loss) between the comparable periods.  The effective tax (benefit) rates for
the second quarters of 1994 and 1993 were 39.9% and (39.9)%, respectively.
For the comparable six month periods, the effective tax (benefit) rates were
39.3% in 1994 and (39.0)% in 1993, reflecting management's estimate of the
Company's full year tax provision (benefit).

                             FINANCIAL CONDITION

     During the first six months of 1994 the Company's consolidated assets 
increased $722.1 million or 1% to $51.6 billion from $50.9 billion at
December 31, 1993.  The Company's primary asset generation business
continues to be the origination of loans on residential real estate
properties.  The Company originated $5.2 billion in loans in the first six
months of 1994 compared to $5.1 billion in the first six months of 1993.
Loans on single family homes (one-to-four units) accounted for 80% of the
total loan origination volume in the first six months of 1994, with the
balance on multi-family residential properties, and 92% were ARMs.  Mortgage
refinances accounted for 41.5% of the Company's originations in the first
six months of 1994.

     In the first six months of 1994, 72% of loan originations were on 
properties located in California.  At June 30, 1994, approximately 96% of
the loan and MBS portfolio was secured by residential properties, including
79% secured by single family properties.

    The loan and MBS portfolio includes approximately $5.7 billion in 
mortgage loans that were originated with LTV ratios exceeding 80%, or 12.3%
of the portfolio at June 30, 1994.  Approximately 22.3% of loans originated
during the first six months of 1994 had LTV ratios in excess of 80%,
including 16.2% with LTV ratios of 90% or greater, all of which were loans
on single family properties.  The Company takes the additional risk of
originating loans with LTV ratios in excess of 80% into consideration in its
loan underwriting and pricing policies.

Asset/Liability Management
- - --------------------------
     One of the Company's primary business strategies continues to be the 
reduction of volatility in net interest income resulting from changes in
interest rates.  This is accomplished by managing the repricing
characteristics of its interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities.  (Interest rate reset provisions of both assets and 
liabilities, whether through contractual maturity or through contractual
interest rate adjustment provisions, are commonly referred to as "repricing
terms.")

     In order to manage the interest rate risk inherent in its portfolios of 
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the Company has
emphasized the origination of COFI ARMs for retention in the loan and MBS
portfolio.  At June 30, 1994, 94.2% of the Company's $46.2 billion loan and 
MBS portfolio consisted of ARMs principally indexed to COFI, compared to 
93.6% of the $44.6 billion loan and MBS portfolio at December 31, 1993.  The
average contractual spread above COFI on the Company's COFI ARM portfolio
was 2.41% at June 30, 1994, up three basis points from 2.38% at December 31,
1993. 

     The Company's basic interest rate risk management strategy includes a 
goal of having the combined repricing terms of its interest-bearing
liabilities not differ materially from those of the FHLB Eleventh District
savings institutions in aggregate.  Historically, the Company has maintained 
its cost of funds at a level below COFI.  There can be no assurance that the
differential between the Company's cost of funds and COFI will remain at
historical levels.  In a period of rising market interest rates, the
favorable differential between the Company's cost of funds and COFI could 
decline, which could result in compression of the Company's interest rate
margin.  Such a compression occurred during the first six months of 1994.

Asset Quality
- - -------------
     Nonperforming Assets and Potential Problem Loans.  A loan is generally 
placed on nonaccrual status when the Company becomes aware that the borrower
has entered bankruptcy proceedings and the loan is delinquent, or when the
loan is past due 90 days as to either principal or interest.  The Company
considers a loan to be impaired when, based upon current information and
events, it believes it is probable that the Company will be unable to
collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan
agreement.

     The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 
("SFAS") No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan,"
effective January 1, 1993.  SFAS No. 114 does not apply to loans the Company
collectively evaluates for impairment.  The Company's impaired loans within 
the scope of SFAS No. 114 include nonaccrual multi-family and commercial and
industrial real estate loans ("major loans"), excluding those collectively
reviewed for impairment; troubled debt restructurings; and performing major 
loans and major loans less than 90 days delinquent ("other impaired major 
loans") which the Company believes will be collected in full, but which the
Company believes it is probable will not be collected in accordance with the
contractual terms of the loans.  The Company continues to accrue interest on 
other impaired major loans since full payment of principal and interest is
expected and such loans are performing or less than 90 days delinquent and
therefore do not meet the criteria for nonaccrual status.  The Company bases 
the measurement of impaired loans on the fair value of the loans' collateral
properties in accordance with SFAS No. 114.  At June 30, 1994, the recorded
investment in loans for which impairment has been recognized in accordance 
with SFAS No. 114 totaled $301.9 million and the total allowance for 
possible losses related to such loans was $35.7 million, compared to the
                                          16

recorded investment of $746.5 million and the related allowance for possible

     Total nonperforming assets decreased 2% during the first six months of 
1994 to $943.2 million, or a ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets
of 1.83%.  Single family nonperforming assets increased $26.3 million or 4%
during the first six months of 1994 primarily due to an increase of $34.5 
million in the state of California.  The increase in California is net of 
the sale of $44.6 million in nonaccrual single family loans during the
second quarter of 1994.  Multi-family nonperforming assets decreased $5.1
million or 3% during the first six months of 1994 reflecting the first 
quarter 1994 sale of nonaccrual loans in New York and New Jersey totaling
$12.3 million, partially offset by an increase in California of $10.7
million.  Commercial and industrial real estate nonperforming assets 
decreased $38.2 million or 37% during the first six months of 1994
reflecting a decrease of $7.4 million in California, and decreases in New
York and New Jersey totaling $20.8 million, including the first quarter 1994 
sale of nonaccrual loans totaling $14.3 million.  Troubled debt 
restructurings decreased $3.2 million or 3% during the first six months of
1994 primarily due to a decrease in troubled debt restructurings secured by
properties in Illinois ($13.5 million), partially offset by increases in 
California ($5.8 million) and New York ($7.3 million).

     Other impaired major loans totaled $43.6 million, net of the related 
allowance for possible losses of $10.1 million, at June 30, 1994 compared to
$391.0 million, net of the related allowance for possible losses of $36.5
million, at December 31, 1993.  The decline of $347.4 million or 89% in the
net recorded investment reflects loans included in other impaired major
loans at December 31, 1993 based on declines in the fair value of the
underlying collateral, but which were not impaired in accordance with SFAS
No. 114 based on the Company's expectation of borrower performance.  Such
loans were not included in other impaired major loans at June 30, 1994.

     The Company is continuing its efforts to reduce the amount of its 
nonperforming assets by aggressively pursuing loan delinquencies through the
collection, workout and foreclosure processes and, if foreclosed, disposing
rapidly of the REO.  The Company sold $136.8 million of single family REO
and $71.0 million of multi-family and commercial and industrial REO in the
first six months of 1994.

     Allowance for Loan Losses.  Management believes the Company's allowance 
for loan losses is adequate at June 30, 1994.  The Company's process for
evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses has three basic
elements:  first, the identification of problem loans; second, the
establishment of appropriate loan loss allowances once individual specific
problem loans are identified; and third, a methodology for estimating loan
losses based on the inherent risk in the rest of the loan portfolio.  Based
upon this process, consideration of the current economic environment and
other factors, mananagement determines what it considers to be an appropriate 
allowance for loan losses.

     For the first six months of 1994 and 1993, gross charge-offs on single 
family loans related to sales of nonaccrual loans were $6.0 million and $372.1
million, respectively.  Gross charge-offs for the first six months of 1994
included $8.7 million related to the sale of multi-family nonaccrual loans and
$13.4 million related to the sale of commercial and industrial nonaccrual
loans.

     The $30.0 million provision for losses during the first quarter of 1994 
related to the Northridge earthquake was based on the Company's appraisals
of its major loan properties and a review of the damage assessment of single
family loan properties in the earthquake area.  This information was used in 
estimating the probability of foreclosures and the ultimate cost to the
Company.  The Company provided assistance to certain borrowers affected by
the earthquake through deferral of loan payments and special loan programs.  
The Company permitted borrowers to defer a limited number of loan payments 
during the first six months of 1994 on approximately 1,865 single family
loans with a principal balance of $381.2 million and approximately 400 major 
loans with a principal balance of $295.5 million.  At June 30, 1994, the
first post-deferral loan payment had not become due for
approximately 70 single family loans with a principal balance of $20.4
million and approximately 20 major loans with a principal balance of $15.1
million, including three loans with a principal balance of $3.2 million
classified as troubled debt restructurings.  The Company has also originated
42 loans with a principal balance of $3.9 million through special loan 
programs providing repair or bridge financing for single family borrowers in 
the damaged area.  The number of loans approved for assistance may increase
as the Company continues its review.

     It is possible that the Company's delinquent, nonaccrual and impaired 
loans and REO may increase and that the Company may experience additional
losses with respect to its real estate loan portfolio.  Although the Company
has taken this possibility into consideration in establishing its allowance 
for possible loan losses, future events may warrant changes to the 
allowance.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- - -------------------------------
     Liquidity consists of cash, cash equivalents and certain marketable 
securities  which are not committed, pledged or required to liquidate
specific liabilities.  The liquidity portfolio, totaling approximately $2.6
billion at June 30, 1994, decreased $776.9 million or 23% from December 31, 
1993 primarily due to a net increase of $1.6 billion in the loan and MBS 
portfolio and a net reduction in deposits of $387.1 million, partially
offset by a net increase of $1.0 billion in borrowings during the first six
months of 1994.  Regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") 
require each savings institution to maintain, for each calendar month, an
average daily balance of liquid assets equal to at least 5% of the average
daily balance of its net withdrawable accounts plus short-term borrowings 
during the preceding calendar month.  OTS regulations also require each
savings institution to maintain, for each calendar month, an average daily
balance of short-term liquid assets (generally those having maturities of 12 
months or less) equal to at least 1% of the average daily balance of its net 
withdrawable accounts plus short-term borrowings during the preceding
calendar month.  For June 1994 the average liquidity and average short-term
liquidity ratios of Home Savings were 5.04% and 4.28%, respectively.

                                           21

<PAGE>
     Sources of additional liquidity consist primarily of positive cash 
flows generated from operations, the collection of principal payments and
prepayments on loans and MBS, increases in deposits and borrowings and
issuances of equity securities.  Positive cash flows are also generated
through the sale of MBS, loans and other assets for cash.  Sources of
borrowings may include borrowings from the FHLB, commercial paper and public
debt issuances, borrowings under reverse repurchase agreements, commercial
bank lines of credit and, under certain conditions, direct borrowings from 
the Federal Reserve System.  The principal sources of cash inflows during
the first six months of 1994 were principal payments and prepayments on
loans and MBS, proceeds from sales of loans and MBS and proceeds from short-
term and FHLB and other borrowings.

     Each of the Company's sources of liquidity is influenced by various 
uncertainties beyond the control of the Company.  Scheduled loan payments
are a relatively stable source of funds, while loan prepayments and deposit
flows vary widely in reaction to market conditions, primarily prevailing 
interest rates.  Asset sales are influenced by general market interest rates 
and other unforeseeable market conditions.  The Company's ability to borrow
at attractive rates is affected by its credit rating, the availability of
acceptable collateral and other market conditions.

     In order to manage the uncertainty inherent in its sources of funds, 
the Company continually evaluates alternate sources of funds and maintains
and develops diversity and flexibility in the number and character of such
sources.  The effect of a decline in any one source of funds generally can 
be offset by use of an alternate source, although potentially at a different 
cost to the Company.  The Company's diverse geographic presence permits it
to take advantage of favorable sources of funds prevailing on a region-by-
region basis.

     Loans Receivable.  The Company's primary use of cash is to fund 
internally generated mortgage loans.  During the first six months of 1994
cash of $4.7 billion was used to originate loans.  Gross loan originations
of $5.2 billion in the first six months of 1994 included approximately $4.7 
billion of ARMs with an average spread of 261 basis points above COFI and
$420.7 million of fixed rate loans.  Fixed rate loans originated and
designated for sale represented approximately 7% of single family loan
originations in the first six months of 1994.  In addition, during the first 
six months of 1994 the Company originated $111.4 million of 15-year fixed
rate single family loans which were funded in part with a series of FHLB
advances.  These loans are intended to be held to maturity.  In late July 
1994, the Company began to designate for sale new originations of its 15-
year fixed rate single family loans.  Principal payments on loans decreased
16% to $1.7 billion in the first six months of 1994 from $2.1 billion in the 
first six months of 1993.

     During the first six months of 1994 the Company sold loans totaling 
$539.9 million, including sales of nonaccrual loans, net of charge-offs.
The Company designates certain loans as held for sale, including most of its
fixed rate originations.  At June 30, 1994 the Company had $6.5 million of 
loans available for sale.

     At June 30, 1994 the Company was committed to fund mortgage loans 
totaling $938.2 million, including $932.7 million or 99% in ARMs.  The
Company expects to fund such loans from its liquidity sources.
                                           22
<PAGE>
     MBS.  During the first six months of 1994 the Company sold $400.2 
million of COFI and other MBS and purchased $422.7 million of ARM MBS,
primarily indexed to one-year Treasury notes, and $96.1 million of short-
term fixed rate collateralized mortgage obligations.  The Company designates
certain MBS as available for sale, including a significant portion of its
ARM MBS issued or guaranteed by government sponsored enterprises and certain
other MBS.  At June 30, 1994 the Company had $2.7 billion of MBS available
for sale.

     During the first six months of 1994 the Company securitized $3.6 
billion of ARMs into AAA rated private placement mortgage pass-through
securities which can be used as collateral for borrowings.  The Company also   
securitized $394.5 million of fixed rate single family mortgages into
government agency MBS during the second quarter of 1994. The Company has 
the intent and ability to hold these MBS until maturity.

     Deposits.  Savings deposits decreased $387.1 million or 1% to $37.6 
billion during the first six months of 1994 reflecting a net deposit
outflow.

     The Company intends to continue consideration of branch purchases and 
sales as opportunities to consolidate the Company's presence in its key
strategic markets.  At June 30, 1994, 58% of the Company's total deposits
were in California, unchanged from December 31, 1993.

     During July 1994, the Company announced an agreement to sell 
approximately $1.5 billion of deposits in its 26 Illinois branches for a
deposit premium of approximately 8.5%.  In addition, the Company announced
agreements to purchase approximately $1.2 billion of deposits in 30 branches 
of five southern California financial institutions at an average premium of 
approximately 2%.  A total of 21 of these branches will be consolidated into
existing Home Savings branches.  Two of the acquisitions, with deposits
totaling approximately $147 million in nine branches, were completed in July 
1994.  The remaining transactions are subject to regulatory approval and are
expected to be completed by the end of 1994.

     Borrowings.  Borrowings increased $1.0 billion or 11% to $9.9 billion 
during the first six months of 1994 reflecting increases in short-term
borrowings of $453.8 million and FHLB and other borrowings of $564.5
million.

     In February 1994 Home Savings issued $200 million of Floating Rate 
Notes due February 9, 1996.  In addition, Home Savings borrowed a total of
$1.8 billion in the first six months of 1994 from the FHLB.  These FHLB
Notes are due in 1995-1997.  Such borrowings partially offset a decrease in
FHLB advances of $1.4 billion in the first six months of 1994.

     Capital.  Stockholders' equity increased $16.7 million or less than 1% 
during the first six months of 1994 principally due to net earnings of
$128.9 million, partially offset by dividends paid to common and preferred
stockholders of $76.7 million and a net increase of $37.8 million in the net 
unrealized loss on securities available for sale.  The aggregate unrealized
loss at June 30, 1994 was $16.3 million.
                                             23
<PAGE>
     The OTS has adopted regulations (the "Capital Regulations") that 
contain a three-part capital standard requiring savings institutions to
maintain "core" capital of at least 3% of adjusted total assets, tangible
capital of at least 1.5% of adjusted total assets and risk-based capital of 
at least 8% of risk-weighted assets.  Special rules govern the ability of 
savings institutions to include in their capital computations supervisory
goodwill and investments in subsidiaries engaged in activities not
permissible for national banks, such as real estate development.  In 
addition, effective July 1, 1994, institutions whose exposure to interest-
rate risk as determined by the OTS is deemed to be above normal may be
required to hold additional risk-based capital.  Home Savings believes it 
does not have above-normal exposure to interest-rate risk.

     Home Savings is in compliance with the Capital Regulations.  The 
following table shows the capital amounts and ratios of Home Savings as
compared to the requirements of the Capital Regulations at June 30, 1994:

Risk-based capital     $3,810,553    12.05%         $2,529,894     8.00%
</TABLE>

     The regulatory capital requirements applicable to Home Savings will 
become more stringent as the amount of Home Savings' supervisory goodwill
and investment in real estate development subsidiaries includable in capital
is phased out through December 31, 1994 and July 1, 1996, respectively.
Home Savings currently meets the requirements of the Capital Regulations 
assuming the present application of the full phase-out provisions.  At June
30, 1994 the capital ratios computed on this more stringent, "fully phased-
in" basis were 4.79% for core and tangible capital and 11.20% for risk-based
capital.

     The OTS has proposed certain amendments to the Capital Regulations.
The Company is unable to predict whether, or in what form, the proposed
amendments to the Capital Regulations will ultimately be adopted.
Accordingly, the Company is unable to predict whether Home Savings would be
in compliance with any higher capital requirement resulting from such
amendments.

such notice and such notice shall be deemed waived by any stockholder 
who shall attend such meeting in person or by proxy, except as a
stockholder who shall attend such meeting for the express purpose of
objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any 
business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. 
Except as otherwise expressly required by law, notice of any
adjourned meeting of the stockholders need not be given if the time 
and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the 
adjournment is taken.

     SECTION 2.05  Quorum.  Except in the case of any meeting for the 
election of directors summarily ordered as provided by law, the
holders of record of a majority in voting interest of the shares of
stock of the Corporation entitled to be voted thereat, present in

business at any meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation or any
adjournment thereof.  In the adsence of a quorum at any meeting or
any adjournment thereof, a majority in voting interest of the 
stockholders present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote 
thereat or, in the absence therefrom of all the stockholders, any
officer entitled to preside at, or to act as secretary of, such
meeting may adjourn such meeting from time to time.  At any such 
adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present any business may be
transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as
originally called.

     SECTION 2.06  Voting.

     (a) Each stockholder shall, at each meeting of the stockholders, 
be entitled to vote in person or by proxy each share or fractional
share of the stock of the Corporation having voting rights on the
matter in question and which shall have been held by him and
registered in his name on the books of the Corporation:
                                            30
<PAGE>
          (i) on the date fixed pursuant to Section 6.05 of these 
          By-Laws as the record date for the determination of 
          stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at such 
          meeting, or

          (ii) if no such record date shall have been so fixed, then 
          (a) at the close of business on the day next preceding the         
          day on which notice of the meeting shall be given or (b) if 
          notice of the meeting shall be waived, at the close of 
          business on the day next preceding the day on which the 
          meeting shall be held.

     (b) Shares of its own stock belonging to the Corporation or to 
another corporation, if a majority of the shares entitled to vote in
the election of directors in such other corporation is held, directly
or indirectly, by the Corporation, shall neither be entitled to vote 
nor be counted for quorum purposes.  Persons holding stock of the 
Corporation in a fiduciary capacity shall be entitled to vote such
stock.  Persons whose stock is pledged shall be entitled to vote,
unless in the transfer by the pledgor on the books of the Corporation 
he shall have expressly empowered the pledgee to vote thereon, in 
which case only the pledgee, or his proxy, may represent such stock
and vote thereon.  Stock having voting power standing of record in
the names of two or more persons, whether fiduciaries, members of a 
partnership, joint tenants, tenants in common, tenants by the
entirety or otherwise, or with respect to which two or more persons
have the same fiduciary relationship, shall be voted in accordance 
with the provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of 
Delaware.

     (c) Any such voting rights may be exercised by the stockholder 
entitled thereto in person or by his proxy appointed by an instrument
in writing, subscribed by such stockholder or by his attorney
thereunto authorized and delivered to the secretary of the meeting; 
provided, however, that no proxy shall be voted or acted upon after 
three years from its date unless said proxy shall provide for a
longer period.  The attendance at any meeting of a stockholder who
may theretofore have given a proxy shall not have the effect of 
revoking the same unless he shall in writing so notify the secretary 
of the meeting prior to the voting of the proxy.  At any meeting of
the stockholders all matters, except as otherwise provided in the
Certificate of Incorporation, in these By-Laws or by law, shall be 
decided by the vote of a majority of the shares present in person or
by proxy and entitled to vote thereat and thereon, a quorum being
present.  The vote at any meeting of the stockholders on any question 
need not be by ballot, unless so directed by the chairman of the 
meeting.  On a vote by ballot each ballot shall be signed by the
stockholder voting, or by his proxy, if there be such proxy, and it
shall state the number of shares voted.

     SECTION 2.07  List of Stockholders.  The Secretary of the 
Corporation shall prepare and make, at least ten (10) days before
every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders
entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and
showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares
registered in the name of each stockholder.  Such list shall be open
to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the
meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten
                                         31
<PAGE>
(10) days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city 
where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in
the notice of the meeting, or, if not so specified, at the place
where the meeting is to be held.  The list shall also be produced and
kept at the time and place of the meeting during the duration
thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present.

     SECTION 2.08  Judges.  If at any meeting of the stockholders a 
vote by written ballot shall be taken on any question, the chairman
of such meeting may appoint a judge or judges to act with respect to
such vote.  Each judge so appointed shall first subscribe an oath
faithfully to execute the duties of a judge at such meeting with
strict impartiality and according to the best of his ability.  Such
judges shall decide upon the qualification of the voters and shall
report the number of shares represented at the meeting and entitled
to vote on such question, shall conduct and accept the votes, and,
when the voting is completed, shall ascertain and report the number
of shares voted respectively for and against the question.  Reports
of judges shall be in writing and subscribed and delivered by them to
the Secretary of the Corporation.  The judges need not be
stockholders of the Corporation, and any officer of the Corporation
may be a judge on any question other than a vote for or against a
proposal in which he shall have a material interest.

     SECTION 2.09  Stockholder Proposals at Meetings of the 
Stockholders.

     (a) At an annual or special meeting of the stockholders, only 
such business shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought
before the meeting.  To be properly brought before a stockholders'
annual or special meeting, business must be (i) specified in the
notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the
direction of the Board; (ii) otherwise properly brought before the
meeting by or at the direction of the Board; or (iii) otherwise
properly brought before the meeting by a stockholder.  In addition to
any other applicable requirements, and subject to any limitations on
business which may be proposed or transacted at such meeting,
including the provisions of Section 2.02 of these By-Laws, for
business to be properly brought before an annual or special meeting
by a stockholder, the stockholder must have given timely notice
thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation.  To be timely
with respect to an annual meeting, a stockholder's notice must be
received at the principal executive office of the Corporation not
less than sixty (60) days nor more than one hundred twenty (120) days
prior to the date of such annual meeting; provided, however, that in
the event that the first public disclosure (whether by mailing of a
notice to stockholders or the New York Stock Exchange, press release
or otherwise) of the date of the annual meeting is made less than
sixty-five (65) days prior to the date of the meeting, notice by the
stockholder will be timely if received not later than the close of
business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which such
public disclosure was first made.  To be timely with respect to a
special meeting, a stockholder's notice must be received at the
principal executive office of the Corporation not later than the
close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which
the first public disclosure (whether by mailing of a notice to
stockholders or the New York Stock Exchange, press release or
otherwise) of the date of the special meeting is made.
                                          32
<PAGE>
     (b) A stockholder's notice to the Secretary shall set forth, as 
to each matter the stockholder proposes to bring before the annual or
special meeting, (i) a reasonably detailed description of any
proposal to be made at such meeting; (ii) the name and address, as 
they appear on the Corporation's stock register, of the stockholder 
proposing such business; (iii) the class and number of shares of
capital stock of the Corporation which are beneficially owned by the
stockholder; (iv) any material interest of the stockholder in such 
business; and (v) such other information relating to the stockholder 
or the proposal as is required to be disclosed under the rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission governing the solicitation of
proxies whether or not such proxies are in fact solicited by the 
stockholder.  Notwithstanding anything in these By-Laws to the
contrary, no business shall be conducted at an annual or special
stockholders' meeting except in accordance with the procedures set 
forth in this Section 2.09; provided, however, that nothing in this 
Section 2.09 shall be deemed to preclude discussion by any
stockholder of any business properly brought before the annual or
special meeting in accordance with said procedures.  The chairman of 
an annual or special meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine 
and declare to the meeting that business was not properly brought
before the meeting in accordance with the provisions of this Section
2.09, and if he should so determine, any such business not properly 
brought before the meeting shall not be transacted.

such first meeting shall not be required.

     SECTION 3.08  Regular Meetings.  Regular meetings of the Board

principal executive office of the Corporation.

     Such notice may be waived by any director and any meeting shall 
be a legal meeting without notice having been given if all the
directors shall be present thereat or those not present shall, either
before or after the meeting, sign a written waiver of notice of, or a 
consent to, such meeting or shall after the meeting sign the approval 
of the minutes thereof.  All such waivers, consents or approvals
shall be filed with the corporate records or be made a part of the
minutes of the meeting.

     SECTION 3.10  Quorum and Manner of Acting.  Except as otherwise 
provided in the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws or by
law, the presence of a majority of the total number of directors then
in office shall be required to constitute a quorum for the
transaction of business at any meeting of the Board.  Except as 
otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-
Laws or by law, all matters shall be decided at any such meeting, a
quorum being present, by the affirmative votes of a majority of the 
directors present.  In the absence of a quorum, a majority of 
directors present at any meeting may adjourn the same from time to
time until a quorum shall be present.  Notice of any adjourned
meeting need not be given.  The directors shall act only as a Board, 
and the individual directors shall have no power as such.

     SECTION 3.11  Action by Consent.  Any action required or 
permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board or of any committee 
thereof may be taken without a meeting if a written consent thereto
is signed by all members of the Board or of such committee, as the
case may be, and such written consent is filed with the minutes of 
proceedings of the Board or committee.

     SECTION 3.12  Compensation.  The directors shall receive only 
such compensation for their services as directors as may be allowed
by resolution of the Board.  The Board may also provide that the
Corporation shall reimburse each such director for any expense
incurred by him on account of his attendance at any meetings of the 
Board or Committees of the Board.  Neither the payment of such
compensation nor the reimbursement of such expenses shall be
construed to preclude any director from serving the Corporation or 
its subsidiaries in any other capacity and receiving compensation 
therefor.

     SECTION 3.13  Executive Committee.  There may be an Executive 
Committee of three or more directors appointed by the Board, who may
meet at stated times, or on notice to all by any of their own number,
during the intervals between the meetings of the Board; they shall 
advise and aid the officers of the Corporation in all matters 
concerning its interests and the management of its business, and
                                             35

generally perform such duties and exercise such powers as may be 
directed or delegated by the Board from time to time.  To the full
extent permitted by law, the Board may delegate to such committee
authority to exercise all the powers of the Board while the Board is
not in session.  Vacancies in the membership of the committee shall 
be filled by the Board at a regular meeting or at a special meeting
for that purpose.  The Executive Committee shall keep written minutes
of its meeting and report the same to the Board when required.  The 
provisions of Sections 3.08, 3.09, 3.10 and 3.11 of these By-Laws 
shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to any Executive Committee of the
Board.

     SECTION 3.14  Other Committees.  The Board may, by resolution 
passed by a majority of the whole Board, designate one or more other
committees, each such committee to consist of one or more of the
directors of the Corporation.  To the full extent permitted by law, 
any such committee shall have and may exercise such powers and 
authority as the Board may designate in such resolution.  Vacancies
in the membership of a committee shall be filled by the Board at a
regular meeting or a special meeting for that purpose.  Any such
committee shall keep written minutes of its meetings and report the 
same to the Board when required.  The provisions of Sections 3.08,
3.09, 3.10 and 3.11 of these By-Laws shall apply, mutatis mutandis,
to any such committee of the Board.

     SECTION 3.15  Notice of Director Nominations.

     (a) Only persons who are nominated in accordance with the 
following procedures shall be eligible for election as directors of
the Corporation.  Nominations of persons for election to the Board
may be made at a meeting of stockholders (i) by or at the direction
of the Board by any nominating committee or person appointed by the 
Board or (ii) by any stockholder of the Corporation entitled to vote
for the election of directors at the meeting who complies with the
notice procedures set forth in this Section 3.15.  In addition to any 
other applicable requirements, and subject to any limitations on 
business which may be proposed or transacted at such meeting,
including the provisions of Section 2.02 of these By-Laws, such 
stockholder nominations, other than those made by or at the direction
of the Board, shall be made pursuant to timely notice in writing to
the Secretary of the Corporation of the stockholder's intention to 
make such nomination.  To be timely with respect to an annual 
meeting, such a stockholder's notice must be received at the
principal executive office of the Corporation not less than sixty
(60) days nor more than one hundred and twenty (120) days prior to 
the date of such annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event 
that the first public disclosure (whether by mailing of a notice to
stockholders or the New York Stock Exchange, press release or
otherwise) of the date of the annual meeting is made less than sixty-
five (65) days prior to the date of the meeting, notice by the
stockholder will be timely if received not later than the close of
business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which such 
public disclosure was first made.  To be timely with respect to a 
special meeting, a stockholder's notice must be received at the
principal executive office of the Corporation not later than the 
close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which
the first public disclosure (whether by mailing of a notice to
                                          36
<PAGE>
stockholders or the New York Stock Exchange, press release or 
otherwise) of the date of the special meeting is made.

     (b) Such stockholder's notice shall set forth (a) as to each 
person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or re-
election as a director, (i) the name, age, business address and
residence address of the person; (ii) the principal occupation or 
employment of the person; (iii) the class and number of shares of
capital stock of the Corporation which are beneficially owned by the
person; and (iv) such other information relating to the person as
would be required, under the rules of the Securities and Exchange 
Commission, in a proxy statement soliciting proxies for the election 
of such person whether or not such proxies are in fact solicited for
the election of such person; and (b) as to the stockholder giving the
notice (i) the name and address, as they appear on the Corporation's 
stock register, of the stockholder; (ii) the class and number of 
shares of capital stock of the Corporation which are beneficially
owned by the stockholder; and (iii) such other information relating
to the stockholder or the nomination as is required to be disclosed 
under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission governing
the solicitation of proxies whether or not such proxies are in fact
solicited by the stockholder.  Such notice must also include a signed 
consent of each such nominee to serve as a director of the 
Corporation, if elected or re-elected.  The Corporation may require
any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as may
reasonable be required by the Corporation to determine the 
eligibility for election as a director of the Corporation.  These 
provisions shall not apply to nomination of any persons entitled to
be separately elected by holders of preferred stock of the
Corporation.  In the event that a person is validly designated as a 
nominee in accordance with the procedures specified above and shall
thereafter become unable or unwilling to stand for election to the
Board, the Board or the stockholder who proposed such nominee, as the
case may be, may designate a substitute nominee; provided, however, 
that in the case of persons not nominated by the Board, such a
substitution may only be made if notice as provided above in this
Section 3.15 is received at the principal executive office of the 
Corporation not later than the earlier of (i) thirty (30) days prior 
to the date of the annual meeting or (ii) ten (10) days after the
stockholder proposing the original nominee first learned that such
original nominee has become unable or unwilling to stand for 
election.  The chairman of the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, 
determine and declare to the meeting that a nomination was not made
in accordance with the foregoing procedure, and if he should so
determine, the defective nomination shall be disregarded.

                              ARTICLE VI
                     SHARES AND THEIR TRANSFER

     SECTION 6.01  Certificates for Stock.  Every owner of stock of 
the Corporation shall be entitled to have a certificate or
certificates, to be in such form as the Board shall prescribe,
certifying the number and class of shares of the stock of the
Corporation owned by him.  The certificates representing shares of 
such stock shall be numbered in the order in which they shall be
issued and shall be signed in the name of the Corporation by the
Chairman, Vice Chairman or President or a Vice President, and by the 
Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or the Treasurer or an Assistant 
Treasurer.  Any of or all of the signatures on the certificates may
be a facsimile.  In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who
has signed, or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon, any 
such certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent
or registrar before such certificate is issued, such certificate may
nevertheless be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as 
though the person who signed such certificate, or whose facsimile 
signature shall have been placed thereupon, were such officer,
transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.  A record shall be
kept of the respective names of the persons, firms or corporations 
owning the stock represented by such certificates, the number and 
class of shares represented by such certificates, respectively, and
the respective dates thereof, and in case of cancellation, the
respective dates of cancellation.  Every certificate surrendered to 
the Corporation for exchange or transfer shall be cancelled, and no 
new certificate or certificates shall be issued in exchange for any
existing certificate until such existing certificate shall have been
so cancelled, except in cases provided for in Section 6.04.

     SECTION 6.02  Transfers of Stock.  Transfers of shares of stock 
of the Corporation shall be made only on the books of the Corporation
by the registered holder thereof, or by his attorney thereunto
authorized by power of attorney duly executed and filed with the
Secretary, or with a transfer clerk or a transfer agent appointed as 
provided in Section 6.03, and upon surrender of the certificate or
certificates for such shares properly endorsed and the payment of all
taxes thereon.  The person in whose name shares of stock stand on the 
books of the Corporation shall be deemed the owner thereof for all 
purposes as regards the Corporation.  Whenever any transfer of shares
shall be made for collateral security, and not absolutely, such fact
shall be so expressed in the entry of transfer if, when the 
certificate or certificates shall be presented to the Corporation for
transfer, both the transferor and transferee request the
Corporation to do so.

     SECTION 6.03  Regulations.  The Board may make such rules and 
regulations as it may deem expedient, not inconsistent with these By-
Laws, concerning the issue, transfer and registration of certificates
for shares of the stock of the Corporation.  It may appoint, or 
authorize any officer or officers to appoint, one or more transfer 
clerks or one or more transfer agents and one or more registrars, and
may require all certificates for stock to bear the signature or
signatures of any of them.

<PAGE>
     SECTION 6.04  Lost, Stolen, Destroyed, and Mutilated 
Certificates.  In any case of loss, theft, destruction or mutilation
of any certificate of stock, another may be issued in its place upon
proof of such loss, theft, destruction or mutilation and upon the
giving of a bond of indemnity to the Corporation in such form and in 
such sum as the Board may direct; provided, however, that a new
certificate may be issued without requiring any bond when, in the
judgment of the Board, it is proper so to do.

     SECTION 6.05  Fixing Date for Determination of Stockholders of 
Record.  In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders
entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or
any adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive payment of any 
dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or 
entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any other change,
conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other
lawful action, the Board may fix, in advance, a record date, which 
shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before 
the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty (60) days prior to any
other action.  If in any case involving the determination of
stockholders for any purpose other than notice of or voting at a 
meeting of stockholders the Board shall not fix such a record date, 
the record date for determining stockholders for such purpose shall
be the close of business on the day on which the Board shall adopt
the resolution relating thereto.  A determination of stockholders 
entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall
apply to any adjournment of such meeting; provided, however, that the
Board may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

applicable whether or not the matters to which the obligation to

powers of the Board of Directors to provide any other indemnification
or other rights or benefits which it may deem appropriate.

     SECTION 7.02  Other Rights and Remedies.  The benefits provided 
by this Article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to

otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to 
action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall

harmless against such liability under the provisions of this Article.

     SECTION 7.04  Constituent Corporations.  For the purposes of 
this Article, references to "the Corporation" include all constituent
corporations absorbed in a consolidation or merger as well as the

a director, officer, employee or agent of such a constituent 
corporation or is or was serving at the request of such constituent
corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise 
shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article 
with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he would if
he had served the resulting or surviving corporation in the same
capacity.

     SECTION 7.05  Employee Benefit Plans.  For purposes of this 
Article, references to "other enterprises" shall include employee
benefit plans, and references to "serving at the request of the
