Form on Registration No.:    Schedule 13E-3 and Amendment No. 1 thereto

______________________________________________________________________________
*        For purposes of calculation of the filing fee only.  This transaction
         relates to the merger (the "Merger") of a wholly owned subsidiary of
         LSAI Holding Corp. ("Holdings") with and into Levi Strauss Associates
         Inc. (the "Company").  The "Transaction Valuation" amount referenced
         above is based upon the product of (i) 16,297,516, the number of
         outstanding shares of Class E Common Stock, par value $0.10 per share
         ("Class E Shares") and Class L Common Stock, par value $0.10 per share
         ("Class L Shares" and together with the Class E Shares, the "Shares")
         of the Company (not including Shares held in the treasury of the
         Company or which, prior to consummation of the Merger, will be owned
         by Holdings) and (ii) $265, the cash price per Share to be paid in the
         Merger.  In accordance with Rule 0-11 under the Securities Exchange
         Act of 1934, the filing fee is determined by multiplying the amount
         calculated pursuant to the preceding sentence by 1/50th of one
         percent.  On February 14, 1996, a filing fee of $450,559 was paid in
         connection with the initial filing of this Schedule 13E-3.  Such
         filing fee was based upon the exchange of 8,501,095 Shares in the
         Merger at the same $265 cash price.  On March 13, 1996, because an
         additional 1,196,806 Shares were expected to be exchanged in the
         Merger, an additional filing fee of $63,430 was paid in connection
         with the filing of Amendment No. 1 to this Schedule 13E-3, equal to
         1/50th of one percent of the product of (i) 1,196,806 and (ii) $265,
         rounded up to the nearest dollar.  As of the date of this Amendment
         No. 2, the final amounts have been determined, and, because the
         Company has learned that an additional 6,599,615 Shares were exchanged
         in the Merger, an additional filing fee of $349,780, equal to 1/50th
         of one percent of the product of (i) 6,599,615 and (ii) $265, rounded
         up to the nearest dollar, has been paid with the filing of this
         Amendment No. 2. <PAGE>


         This Amendment No. 2 amends and supplements the Rule 13E-3 Transaction
         Statement on Schedule 13E-3, as amended (the "Statement"), originally
         filed by Levi Strauss Associates Inc., a Delaware corporation ("LSAI"
         or the "Company"), LSAI Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation
         ("Holdings"), and LSAI Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a
         wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings ("Merger Sub") on February 14,
         1996, which Statement relates to an Agreement and Plan of Merger,
         dated as of February 8, 1996, among LSAI, Holdings, and Merger Sub
         (the "Merger Agreement"), pursuant to which Merger Sub has merged with
         and into LSAI (the "Merger" or the "Transaction"), with the result
         that LSAI has become a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings.
         Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the
         meanings ascribed thereto in the Statement.  The Statement, and this
         Amendment No. 2, are also being filed by Mr. Robert D. Haas and Mr.
         Peter E. Haas, Sr.; however, neither Robert D. Haas nor Peter E. Haas,
         Sr. concedes, by virtue of having filed the Statement or any amendment
         thereto, that he is or should be deemed to be engaged in a Rule 13e-3
         Transaction in an individual capacity, or in any manner other than
         through his interest in Holdings as described herein.<PAGE>





         By this Amendment No. 2, the Statement is hereby amended and
supplemented as set forth below:


    ITEM 16  ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

             Item 16 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as

             Company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings.<PAGE>





                                    SIGNATURE


              AFTER DUE INQUIRY AND TO THE BEST OF ITS KNOWLEDGE AND
         BELIEF, EACH OF THE UNDERSIGNED CERTIFIES THAT THE INFORMATION
         SET FORTH IN THIS AMENDMENT IS TRUE, COMPLETE AND CORRECT.
