                      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.


                                   OVERVIEW

     During the first quarter of 1995, the Company recorded a net loss of 
$181.9 million, or $1.66 per fully diluted common share, compared to net 
earnings of $55.4 million, or $0.36 per fully diluted common share, earned in 
the first quarter of 1994. The Company adopted Statement of Financial 
Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 72, "Accounting for Certain Acquisitions of 
Banking or Thrift Institutions," as of January 1, 1995.  The overall impact on 
the Company's financial statements of adopting SFAS No. 72 was the elimination 
of goodwill related to the Company's thrift institution acquisitions initiated 
prior to September 30, 1982.  The adoption resulted in the restatement of 
earnings previously reported of $50.7 million, or $0.33 per fully diluted 
common share,  in the first quarter of 1995 to the loss of $181.9 million, or 
$1.66 per fully diluted common share.  The current quarter loss also reflects 
lower net interest income, substantially offset by reductions in loan loss 
provision and other expenses compared to the first quarter of 1994.  While the 
net interest margin began to improve during the quarter, on average the net 
interest margin in the first quarter of 1995 was lower than the first quarter 
of 1994.

     Net interest income totaled $295.2 million for the first quarter of 1995 
compared to $350.6 million in the first quarter of 1994.  While the net 
interest margin decreased in January 1995, it improved in February and March 
1995.  For the first quarter of 1995, the net interest margin was 2.27%, 
compared to 2.96% in the first quarter of 1994 and 2.28% in the fourth quarter 
of 1994.  At March 31, 1995, the net interest margin was 2.36%.

ASSET QUALITY

     Nonperforming assets were $878.6 million, or 1.64% of total assets, at 
March 31, 1995 compared to $957.6 million, or 1.89% of total assets, at March 
31, 1994 and $843.0 million, or 1.57% of total assets, at December 31, 1994.

     During the first quarter of 1995, the Company provided $26.5 million for 
loan losses compared to $75.5 million in the first quarter of 1994.  The first 
quarter of 1994 provision included $30 million for loan losses due to the 
Northridge earthquake in January 1994.

     At March 31, 1995, the allowance for loan losses and the allowance for 
losses on foreclosed real estate were $391.1 million and $36.9 million, 
respectively.  The total allowances for losses on nonperforming assets equaled 
46.7% of nonperforming assets at March 31, 1995, compared to 50.6% at March 
31, 1994 and 50.1% at December 31, 1994.

<PAGE>
     At March 31, 1995, the Company had $189.1 million in foreclosed 
properties, compared to $198.8 million at March 31, 1994 and $161.9 million at 
December 31, 1994.

     Real estate development assets, net of the allowance for losses, totaled 
$323.2 million at March 31, 1995, compared to $425.7 million at March 31, 1994 
and $313.3 million at December 31, 1994.  The increase from December 31, 1994 
is due to the capitalization of construction costs as the Company continues to 
build out certain projects as part of the Company's disposition plan.  The 
allowance for losses on real estate development assets totaled $332.4 million, 
or 50.7% of gross real estate assets at March 31, 1995.

OTHER EXPENSES

     General and administrative expenses as a percentage of average assets 
were 1.34% in the first quarter of 1995, compared to 1.52% in the first 
quarter of 1994.  In the first quarter of this year, the Company recorded a 
$5.7 million rebate of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") premiums 
for the July 1, 1994 semi-annual assessment period.  Without this one-time 
credit, the G&A ratio would have been 1.38%.

LOAN ORIGINATIONS

     The Company originated $1.7 billion of loans in the first quarter of 
1995, compared to $2.3 billion in the year-ago quarter.  In the first quarter 
of 1995, 76% of all originations were single family mortgages and 97% were 
adjustable rate mortgage loans ("ARMs"), including $73.8 million in ARMs tied 
to U.S. Treasury securities.  Purchase loans accounted for 73% of the 
Company's first quarter 1995 originations, compared to 48% of the Company's 
first quarter 1994 originations.  Single family originations in California 
accounted for 56% of the Company's single family production in the first 
quarter of 1995, compared to 65% in the first quarter of 1994.

DEPOSIT ACTIVITY

     At March 31, 1995, deposits totaled a record $41.7 billion, compared to 
$37.7 billion at March 31, 1994 and $40.7 billion at December 31, 1994.  This 
$1.0 billion, or 2.5%, increase from December 31, 1994 is the result of 
deposit programs initiated through the retail branch system.  In addition, the 
Company purchased deposits in California totaling $47.4 million and sold 
deposits in Ohio totaling $10.2 million during the first quarter of 1995.  The 
Company intends to continue consideration of branch purchases and sales as 
opportunities to consolidate the Company's presence in key strategic markets.

CAPITAL

     Stockholders' equity was $2.8 billion at March 31, 1995.  The adoption of 
SFAS No. 72 had no effect on Home Savings' federal capital ratios, which 
continue to exceed regulatory requirements for well-capitalized institutions, 
the highest regulatory standard.

                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET INTEREST INCOME

     Net interest income was $295.2 million in the first quarter of 1995, a 
decrease of $55.4 million or 16%, compared to $350.6 million in the same 
period of 1994.  The decrease reflects compression of the interest rate 
margin, which began to improve during the first quarter of 1995.

     The following table presents 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-costing 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, and delinquent interest on such loans has been excluded 
from interest income.

     The following table presents the changes for the first quarter of 1995 
from the first quarter of 1994 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 from period to 
period, 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 current period change in average balance multiplied by the average rate 
during the preceding year's period and the change due to rate is calculated as 
the current period 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.

</TABLE>

     Net interest income decreased $55.4 million, or 16%, in the first quarter 
of 1995 as compared to the first quarter of 1994 due to a decrease of 69 basis 
points in the net interest margin to 2.27% for the first quarter of 1995 from 
2.96% for the first quarter of 1994, partially offset by an increase of $4.7 
billion in average interest-earning assets.  The increase in average interest-
earning assets was primarily funded with interest-costing liabilities.

     The compression in the net interest margin for the first quarter of 1995 
principally reflects the lag between changes in 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") to which a 
majority of the Company's interest-earning assets are tied and changes in the 
repricing of the Company's interest-costing liabilities in a period of rising 
interest rates, and narrowing of the Company's funding advantage relative to 
COFI.  The Company's cost of funds was 20 basis points and 33 basis points 
below the average of COFI of 4.89% and 3.68% during the respective first 
quarters of 1995 and 1994.  In addition, provisions for losses of delinquent 
interest related to nonaccrual loans of $13.1 million and $11.3 million in the 
first quarter of 1995 and 1994, respectively, had the effect of reducing the 
net interest margin by ten basis points in each period.


<PAGE>
     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.  In the event of sustained significant increases in 
rates, such maximum interest rates could also contribute to compression of the 
net interest margin.  For information regarding the Company's strategies 
related to COFI and limiting its interest rate risk, see "Financial Condition- 
Asset/Liability Management." 


PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

     The provision for loan losses was $26.5 million in the first quarter of 
1995, a decrease of $49.0 million or 65%, from the $75.5 million provision for 
the first quarter of 1994 which included $30 million representing the 
Company's estimated losses from real property damage sustained by its 
borrowers in the Northridge, California earthquake in January 1994.  For 
additional information regarding the allowance for loan losses, see "Financial 
Condition - Asset Quality - Allowance for Loan Losses."


OTHER INCOME

     GAIN ON SALES OF MBS. During the first quarter of 1995, MBS totaling 
$138.4 million were sold for a pre-tax gain of $0.6 million compared to MBS 
totaling $400.2 million sold in the first quarter of 1994 for a pre-tax gain 
of $4.9 million.

     GAIN (LOSS) ON SALES OF LOANS.  During the first quarter of 1995, loans 
originated for sale totaling $43.2 million were sold for a pre-tax gain of 
$0.2 million compared to loans totaling $387.3 million sold for a pre-tax loss 
of $3.8 million in the first quarter of 1994.  The sales volume of mortgage 
loans originated for sale during the comparative periods was principally 
influenced by borrower demand for fixed rate loans, most of which the Company 
designates for sale in the secondary market.

     LOAN SERVICING INCOME.  Loan servicing income was $13.0 million in the 
first quarter of 1995, a decrease of $3.0 million or 19% from $16.0 million in 
the first quarter of 1994.  The decrease was primarily due to a $3.7 billion 
decline in the average portfolio of loans serviced for investors, partially 
offset by an increase of six basis points in the retained loan yield to 0.73%.  
The decline in the average portfolio of loans serviced for investors was 
primarily due to the sale of servicing rights related to $2 billion of fixed-
rate single family loans in the fourth quarter of 1994.  At March 31, 1995 and 
1994, the portfolio of loans serviced for investors was $11.1 billion and 
$14.7 billion, respectively.

     OTHER FEE INCOME.  Other fee income was $24.0 million in the first 
quarter of 1995, a decrease of $2.9 million or 11% from $26.9 million for the 
first quarter of 1994.  The decrease was primarily due to a reduction of $1.9 
million in investment and insurance services commissions.

     OTHER OPERATING INCOME.  Other operating income was a net loss of $1.8 
million in the first quarter of 1995, a decrease of $3.2 million from income 
of $1.4 million for the first quarter of 1994.  The decrease was primarily due 
to the loss on sale of the remaining Ohio branch amounting to $1.6 million in 
the first quarter of 1995.



<PAGE>
OTHER EXPENSES

     G&A EXPENSES. G&A expenses were $182.8 million in the first quarter of 
1995, a decrease of $9.0 million or 5% from $191.8 million in the first 
quarter of 1994.  The 5% decrease in the first quarter of 1995 was primarily 
due to a $7.9 million decrease in FDIC premiums and assessments, including a 
$5.7 million rebate of FDIC premiums recorded in the first quarter of 1995 for 
the July 1, 1994 semi-annual assessment period, and broadly-based efforts to 
reduce operating expenses.  The ratio of G&A expenses to average assets (the 
"G&A ratio") decreased to 1.34% in the first quarter of 1995 compared to 1.52% 
in the first quarter of 1994, reflecting a 9% increase in average assets and 
the 5% decrease in G&A expenses.

     OPERATIONS OF REI.  Losses from operations of REI were $1.1 million in 
the first quarter of 1995, a decrease of $4.4 million or 80% from $5.5 million 
in the first quarter of 1994.  The decrease in losses was primarily due to 
gains of $0.5 million on sales of REI in the first quarter of 1995 compared to 
losses of $2.2 million on such sales in the first quarter of 1994.

     The Company intends to complete its withdrawal from real estate 
development activities as soon as practicable.  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.  The Company has certain 
projects with long-term holding and development periods.  No new projects have 
been initiated since 1990.  Although management believes the net realizable 
value ("NRV") of REI and the related allowance for losses are fairly stated, 
declines in NRV and additions to the allowance for losses could result from 
continued weakness in the specific project markets, changes in economic 
conditions, changes in the Company's cost of funds and revisions to project 
business plans, which may reflect decisions by the Company to accelerate the 
disposition of the properties.

     OPERATIONS OF REO.  Losses from operations of REO were $21.1 million in 
the first quarter of 1995, a decrease of $6.0 million or 22% from $27.1 
million for the first quarter of 1994.  The decrease was primarily due to 
declines of $3.6 million in the provision for losses and $2.6 million in net 
losses on sales of REO properties.  For additional information regarding REO, 
see "Financial Condition--Asset Quality--Nonperforming Assets and Potential 
Problem Loans."

     AMORTIZATION OF GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND CUMULATIVE 
EFFECT OF ACCOUNTING CHANGE.  The Company adopted SFAS No. 72 effective 
January 1, 1995 for goodwill related to acquisitions prior to September 30, 
1982.  As a result, the Company wrote off goodwill totaling $234.7 million as 
a cumulative effect of the change in accounting.  The adoption of SFAS No. 72 
also resulted in a reversal of $2.2 million in goodwill amortization expense 
previously reported for the first quarter of 1995.  Results from periods prior 
to the first quarter of 1995 have not been restated.  SFAS No. 72 requires, 
among other things, that to the extent the fair value of liabilities assumed 
exceeds the fair value of assets resulting from the acquisition of banking or 
thrift institutions initiated after September 30, 1982, the resulting goodwill 
recognized shall be amortized over a period no longer than the estimated 
remaining life of the acquired long-term interest-earning assets.  The 
adoption of SFAS No. 72 for goodwill related to acquisitions of banking or 
thrift institutions prior to September 30, 1982 is permissible but not 
required.  The Company has been accounting for acquisitions initiated 
subsequent to September 30, 1982 in accordance with SFAS No. 72.


<PAGE>
     Amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets was $6.9 million for 
the first quarter of 1995, an increase of $0.7 million or 11% from $6.2 
million for the first quarter of 1994, reflecting a net increase in the core 
deposit premium related to deposits acquired in late 1994 and the first 
quarter of 1995, partially offset by the reduction in the goodwill balance 
upon the adoption of SFAS No. 72.

     PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES.  The changes in the provision for income 
taxes primarily reflect the changes in pre-tax earnings between the comparable 
periods.  The effective tax rates for the first quarters of 1995 and 1994 were 
43.1% and 38.4%, respectively, reflecting management's estimate of the 
Company's full year tax provision.



                             FINANCIAL CONDITION

     The Company's consolidated assets were $53.7 billion at March 31, 1995,  
a decrease of $61.8 million or less than 1% from $53.7 billion at December 31, 
1994.  The loan and MBS portfolio grew $847.0 million or 2% to $49.6 billion 
during the first quarter of 1995, reflecting the reduced level of principal 
prepayments due to rising interest rates.  The growth in the loan and MBS 
portfolio was funded primarily through excess liquidity and a net increase in 
interest-costing liabilities.  

     The Company's primary asset generation business continues to be the 
origination of loans on residential real estate properties.  The Company 
originated $1.7 billion in loans during the first quarter of 1995 compared to 
$2.3 billion during the first quarter of 1994.  Loans on single family homes 
(one-to-four units) accounted for 76% of the total loan origination volume in 
the first quarter of 1995, with the balance on multi-family residential 
properties, and 97% of total originations were ARMs.

     In the first quarter of 1995, approximately 66% of loan originations were 
on properties located in California.  At March 31, 1995, approximately 97% 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 $6.9 billion in 
mortgage loans that were originated with loan to value ("LTV") ratios 
exceeding 80%, or 14% of the portfolio at March 31, 1995.  Approximately 19% 
of loans originated during the first quarter of 1995 had LTV ratios in excess 
of 80%, all of which were loans on single family properties, including 6% with 
LTV ratios in excess of 90%.  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-costing 
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-costing liabilities, the Company has 
historically emphasized the origination of COFI ARMs for retention in the loan 
and MBS portfolio.  During late 1994 the Company began offering ARMs which 
provide for interest rates that adjust based upon changes in the yields of 
U.S. Treasury securities ("Treasury ARMs").  The Company originated $73.8 
million of Treasury ARMs during the first quarter of 1995.  At March 31, 1995, 
95.3% of the Company's $49.6 billion loan and MBS portfolio consisted of ARMs 
indexed primarily to COFI, compared to 95.1% of the $48.8 billion loan and MBS 
portfolio at December 31, 1994.  The average factor above COFI on the 
Company's COFI ARM portfolio was 246 basis points at March 31, 1995, up two 
basis points from 244 basis points at December 31, 1994.  

     Historically, the Company has maintained its cost of funds at a level 
below COFI.  In a period of rising market interest rates, the favorable 
differential between the Company's cost of funds and COFI could decline, or 
become negative, which could result in compression of the Company's interest 
rate margin.  Such a compression occurred in the rising interest rate 
environment during 1994.  The margin compression began to improve during the 
first quarter of 1995. 

     The Company's basic interest rate risk management strategy includes a 
goal of having the combined repricing terms of its interest-costing 
liabilities not differ materially from those of the FHLB Eleventh District 
savings institutions, in aggregate.  The Company's approach to managing 
interest rate risk in an environment where market interest rates are believed 
to have the potential to rise includes the extension of repricing terms and 
the spreading of clustered maturities on term deposits and other interest-
costing liabilities, combined with emphasis on more responsive assets, 
including diversification away from COFI on certain interest-earning assets.

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.

     For the Company, loans collectively reviewed for impairment include all 
single family loans and performing multi-family and commercial and industrial 
real estate loans ("major loans") under $2 million, excluding loans which are 
individually reviewed based on specific criteria, such as delinquency, debt 
coverage, LTV ratio and condition of collateral property.  The Company's 
impaired loans within the scope of such individual review include nonaccrual 
major loans (excluding those collectively reviewed for impairment), troubled 
debt restructurings ("TDRs"), 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.

     Total nonperforming assets were $878.6 million at March 31, 1995, or a 
ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets of 1.64%, an increase of $35.7 
million or 4% during the first quarter of 1995 from $843.0 million, or 1.57% 
of total assets at December 31, 1994.  Single family nonperforming assets were 
$741.7 million at March 31, 1995, an increase of $37.5 million or 5% during 
the first quarter of 1995 primarily due to increases in California REO of 
$26.2 million and nonaccrual loans secured by California properties of $9.8 
million.

     Multi-family nonperforming assets totaled $97.2 million at March 31, 
1995, an increase of $13.2 million or 16% during the first quarter of 1995 
primarily due to increases in California ($5.2 million), Georgia ($3.8 
million) and New Jersey ($1.5 million).  Commercial and industrial real estate 
nonperforming assets totaled $39.7 million at March 31, 1995, a decrease of 
$15.0 million or 27% during the first quarter of 1995 primarily due to 
decreases in California ($9.8 million), New York ($3.2 million) and New Jersey 
($1.7 million).


<PAGE>
     TDRs were $126.8 million at March 31, 1995, an increase of $5.4 million 
or 4% during the first quarter of 1995 from $121.4 million at December 31, 
1994 primarily due to an increase in TDRs secured by properties in California  
($2.6 million) and New York ($1.6 million).  Other impaired major loans 
totaled $3.2 million at March 31, 1995, a decline of $8.9 million or 74% from 
$12.1 million at December 31, 1994 primarily due to a $6.4 million decrease in 
such loans secured by properties in California.

     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 $67.6 million of single family REO and 
$22.3 million of multi-family and commercial and industrial REO in the first 
quarter of 1995.  In addition, the Company may, from time to time, offer 
packages of nonperforming assets for competitive bids.

     ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES.  Management believes the Company's allowance 
for loan losses is adequate at March 31, 1995.  The Company's process for 
evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses has three basic 
elements: first, the identification of impaired loans; second, the 
establishment of appropriate loan loss allowances once individual specific 
impaired loans are identified; and third, a methodology for estimating loan 
losses based on the inherent risk in the remainder of the loan portfolio.  
Based upon this process, consideration of the current economic environment and 
other factors, management determines what it considers to be an appropriate 
allowance for loan losses.

     The changes in the allowance for loan losses are as follows:

<PAGE>
     It is possible that the Company's delinquent loans, nonaccrual loans, 
TDRs and other impaired major 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 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 $1.6 billion at 
March 31, 1995, decreased $576.0 million or 27% from December 31, 1994 
primarily due to a net increase in the loan and MBS portfolio of $847.0 
million and a net reduction in borrowings of $797.4 million, partially offset 
by a net increase in deposits of $1.0 billion during the first quarter of 
1995.  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 March 
1995 the average liquidity and average short-term liquidity ratios of Home 
Savings were 5.15% and 4.45%, respectively.

     Sources of additional liquidity consist primarily of positive cash flows 
generated from operations, the collection of principal payments and 
prepayments on loans and MBS and increases in deposits and borrowings. 
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 quarter of 1995 were an increase in 
deposits, principal payments and prepayments on loans and MBS and proceeds 
from sales of loans and MBS.

     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 market 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 size, credit rating, the availability of  
acceptable collateral and other market-driven 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.


<PAGE>
     LOANS RECEIVABLE.  The Company's primary use of cash is to fund 
internally generated mortgage loans.  During the first quarter of 1995 cash of 
$1.6 billion was used to originate loans.  Gross loan originations in the 
first quarter of 1995 of $1.7 billion included $1.6 billion of COFI ARMs with 
an average factor of 278 basis points above COFI, $73.8 million of Treasury 
ARMs and $57.1 million of fixed rate loans.  Fixed rate loans originated and 
designated for sale represented approximately 3% of single family loan 
originations in the first quarter of 1995.  Principal payments on loans were 
$430.8 million in the first quarter of 1995, a decrease of $494.2 million or 
53% from $924.9 million in the first quarter of 1994.

     During the first quarter of 1995 the Company sold loans totaling $43.2 
million.  The Company designates certain loans as held for sale, including 
most of its fixed rate originations.  At March 31, 1995, the Company had $26.6 
million of loans held for sale.

     At March 31, 1995 the Company was committed to fund mortgage loans 
totaling $603.4 million, including $569.9 million or 94% in ARMs.  The Company 
expects to fund such loans from its liquidity sources.

     MBS.  During the first quarter of 1995 the Company sold $138.4 million of 
MBS, comprised of $27.9 million of fixed rate MBS and $110.5 million of ARM 
MBS.  The Company designates certain MBS as available for sale.  At March 31, 
1995 the Company had $2.3 billion of MBS available for sale.

     During the first quarter of 1995 the Company securitized $1.0 billion of 
ARMs into private placement mortgage pass-through securities.  The Company has 
the intent and ability to hold these MBS until maturity.

     DEPOSITS.  Savings deposits were $41.7 billion at March 31, 1995, an 
increase of $1.0 billion or 2% during the first quarter of 1995, primarily 
reflecting a deposit inflow of $977.5 million.  The deposit inflow reflects 
the Company's strategy to increase its term deposits by increasing rates 
offered on such deposits and reducing higher costing short-term borrowings.  
In addition, the Company purchased deposits totaling $47.4 million from two 
California financial and sold deposits totaling $10.2 million in its remaining 
Ohio branch during the first quarter of 1995.

     During February 1995 the Company announced a definitive agreement with 
Household Bank, FSB to acquire its 52 retail branches in Southern California 
with deposits totaling $1.4 billion.  The Company plans to consolidate 16 of 
the acquired branches with existing Home Savings branches.  The acquisition is 
expected to be completed in the second quarter of 1995.

     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 March 31, 1995, 62% of the Company's deposits were in 
California, unchanged from December 31, 1994.



<PAGE>
     BORROWINGS.  Borrowings totaled $8.4 billion at March 31, 1995, a 
decrease of $797.4 million or 9% during the first quarter of 1995 reflecting 
reductions in short-term borrowings of $521.7 million and FHLB and other 
borrowings of $275.7 million. 

     In April 1995, the Company had two issuances of medium term notes 
totaling $90 million.  The notes will mature in five to seven years and have a 
weighted average interest rate of 7.67%.  Such borrowings will be used for 
general corporate purposes.

     CAPITAL. Stockholders' equity was $2.8 billion at March 31, 1995, a 
decrease of $180.7 million or 6% from December 31, 1994.  The decrease is 
primarily due to the net loss of $181.9 million, including the write-off of 
$234.7 million in goodwill upon adopting SFAS No. 72, and dividends paid to 
common and preferred stockholders of $38.4 million, partially offset by a 
decrease of $39.2 million in the net unrealized loss on securities available 
for sale.  The aggregate unrealized loss on securities available for sale at 
March 31, 1995 was $13.2 million.

     The OTS has adopted 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 investments in subsidiaries engaged in activities not 
permissible for national banks, such as real estate development.  In addition, 
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.

     Under OTS regulations which implement the "prompt corrective action" 
system mandated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act, 
an institution is well capitalized if its ratio of total capital to risk-
weighted assets is 10% or more, its ratio of core capital to risk-weighted 
assets is 6% or more, its ratio of core capital to total assets is 5% or more 
and it is not subject to any written agreement, order or directive to meet a 
specified capital level.  At March 31, 1995 Home Savings met these standards.


<PAGE>
     Home Savings is in compliance with the OTS regulations.  The following 
table shows the capital amounts and ratios of Home Savings at March 31, 1995:

Tangible/core capital (to adjusted total assets)       $2,759,263     5.19%
Core capital (to risk-weighted assets)                  2,759,263     8.56
Total risk-based capital                                3,758,697    11.66 
</TABLE>

     The regulatory capital requirements applicable to Home Savings are 
continuing to become more stringent as the amount of Home Savings' investment 
in real estate development subsidiaries includable in capital is phased out 
through July 1, 1996.  Home Savings currently meets the requirements of the 
OTS regulations assuming the present application of the full phase-out 
provisions.  At March 31, 1995 the capital ratios computed on this more 
stringent, "fully phased-in" basis were 5.12% for core and tangible capital 
and 11.57% for risk-based capital.

STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NO. 121

     In March 1995 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 
121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived 
Assets to Be Disposed Of."  SFAS No. 121 requires that long-lived assets and 
certain identified intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or 
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may 
not be recoverable.  As a result of this review, impaired assets would be 
adjusted to fair value.  In addition, SFAS No. 121 requires that long-lived 
assets and certain identified intangibles held for disposal be reported at the 
lower of carrying amount or fair value less selling costs.  SFAS No. 121 must 
be adopted for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 
15, 1995.  The impact on the Company of adopting SFAS No. 121 is not expected 
to be material.

Statement of Computation of Earnings Per Share
Exhibit 11


     Common stock equivalents identified by the Company in determining its 
primary earnings per common share are stock options and stock appreciation 
rights. In addition, common stock equivalents used in the determination of 
fully diluted earnings per common share include the effect, when such effect 
is not anti-dilutive, of the 6% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, 
Series D which is convertible into 11.8 million shares of Common Stock at 
$24.335 per share of Common Stock.  The following is a summary of the 
calculation of earnings per common share:
