statements.


SEAFIELD CAPITAL CORPORATION
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 1995 and 1994

(1)  The financial information furnished herein is unaudited; however, in the 
opinion of management, the financial information reflects all adjustments 
which are necessary to fairly state the Registrant's financial position at 
June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994 and the results of its operations and cash
flows for the periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1994.  The financial statements 
have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
appropriate in the circumstances, and therefore included in the financial 
statements are certain amounts based on management's informed estimates and 
judgments.  The financial information herein is not necessarily representative
of a full year's operations because levels of sales, interest rates and other 
factors fluctuate throughout the fiscal year.  These same considerations apply
to all year to year comparisons.  Certain 1994 amounts have been reclassified 
for comparative purposes with no effect on net earnings.  See the Registrant's
Annual Report pursuant to Section 13 to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 
(Form 10-K) for additional information not required by this Quarter's Report 
(Form 10-Q).

(2)  Cash and cash equivalents include demand deposits in banks and overnight 
investments.

(3)  A lawsuit was initiated in 1986 by the Registrant's former insurance 
subsidiary against an architectural and engineering firm and a construction 
firm to recover costs incurred to remove and replace the facade on the former 
home office building.  Because the costs had been incurred prior to any 
discussions regarding a sale of the insurance subsidiary, Registrant 
negotiated with the buyer for an assignment of the cause of action from the 
insurance subsidiary. Thus, any recovery will be for the benefit of the 
Registrant and all costs incurred in connection with the litigation will be 
paid by the Registrant.  Any ultimate recovery will be recognized as income 
when received and would be subject to income taxes.  In September 1993, the 
Missouri Court of Appeals reversed a $5.7 million judgment granted in 1992 in 
favor of the Registrant; the Court of Appeals set aside $1.7 million of the 
judgment and remanded the balance of the case to the trial court for a jury 
trial limited to the question of whether or not the applicable statute of 
limitations barred the claim.  The retrial is expected to occur in the first 
quarter of 1996.

In 1988, a lawsuit was initiated against the Registrant's former insurance 
subsidiary by its former partners in the Quail Run real estate project in 
Santa Fe, New Mexico.  The plaintiffs alleged that the project partnership 
agreement was improperly terminated, thus denying them an ongoing interest in 
the project, and the loss of their exclusive real estate brokerage 
arrangement.  The plaintiffs were seeking approximately $11 million in actual 
damages and unspecified punitive damages based upon alleged breaches of 
contract and fiduciary duty and economic compulsion.  After a trial in July 
1994, the jury returned a verdict absolving Registrant of any liability.  
Subsequent to the trial, the judge awarded Registrant approximately $250,000 
in connection with marketing expenses which the plaintiffs were to have 
repaid.  In April 1995, the court awarded Registrant approximately $64,000 in 
costs with interest until paid.  Plaintiffs have appealed all judgments 
against them.  The appeal will likely be considered by the court in the fourth
quarter of 1995, with a ruling expected in the first half of 1996.  Because 
the Quail Run project was retained by Registrant in connection with the sale 
of its former insurance subsidiary, Registrant defended the lawsuit under an 
indemnification arrangement with the purchaser of the former insurance 
subsidiary; all costs incurred and any judgments rendered in favor of the 
plaintiff will be for the account of the Registrant.

In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel and based 
upon current available information, none of these lawsuits is expected to have
a material adverse impact on the consolidated financial position or results of
operations of the Registrant.

During 1992, the Registrant received proposed adjustments from the Internal 
Revenue Service (IRS) with respect to 1986-87 federal income taxes.  The 
Registrant protested these adjustments during 1992.  Later, the IRS determined
to include the 1988-90 tax periods as part of its review.  The original amount
of additional taxes proposed by the IRS was approximately $17 million for the 
1986-87 period.  In May 1995, the IRS issued a revised 1986-87 adjustment 
report reducing the original amount of proposed taxes to $13.5 million.  This 
new report will be protested.

In June 1995, the IRS issued its 1988-89 report which includes reversals of 
some additional taxes in the 1986-87 report.  The amount of additional 
proposed taxes for 1988-89 is $182,000. The IRS has said it plans to issue its
proposed tax adjustments for 1990 by the third quarter 1995.  The IRS has sent
one proposed adjustment for 1990 totaling $9.1 million in additional taxes.  
The IRS has used this proposed adjustment to deny the Registrant's 1990 net 
operating and net capital loss carryback claim for refund of $7.6 million.  
The effect is to propose additional net taxes of $1.5 million for 1990.  These
proposed adjustments will be protested as well.  The Registrant believes that 
it has meritorious defenses to many of the issues raised by the IRS, and 
adequate accruals for income tax liabilities.

(4)  In February 1995, Registrant retained Alex. Brown and Sons Incorporated 
as financial advisor to assist the Registrant in considering strategic 
alternatives to maximize shareholder value.  One alternative that the 
Registrant expects to pursue is a cash-option merger of the Registrant into 
LabOne.  The board of directors will consider other business combination 
proposals that are presented to it.  There can be no assurances that either a 
merger with LabOne or any other business combination will occur.

(5)  Registrant sold its 80.1% owned subsidiary, Agency Premium Resource, 
Inc., during the second quarter.  The sale generated an after-tax gain of $1.4
million with sale proceeds totaling $9.6 million.

The Registrant also completed an asset sale by Tenenbaum & Associates, Inc., a
79% owned subsidiary.  The earnings effect of this sale and liquidation of the
subsidiary is approximately break-even with after-tax proceeds equaling book 
value.

(6)  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114 "Accounting by 
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" is required to be implemented for the year
ending December 31, 1995.  The adoption of this standard is not expected to 
have any significant impact on the Registrant's financial position or results 
of operations.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 "Accounting for the 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" 
is required to be implemented for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 
1995.  The Registrant has not ascertained the impact, if any, on its financial
position or results of operations.

(7)  Earnings per share of common stock are based on the weighted average 
number of shares of common stock outstanding and the common share equivalents 
of dilutive stock options, where applicable.

Insurance Services Segment

The following businesses are considered to be in the insurance services 
segment:  laboratory testing for insurance industries, insurance premium 
finance services and underwriting and policy administration services.  On May 
31, 1995, the insurance premium finance services subsidiary was sold.  During 
1995's third quarter, the underwriting and policy administration services 
subsidiary was sold.

LabOne, Inc. (LabOne), an 82% owned subsidiary of Seafield Capital 
Corporation (Seafield), is a publicly-traded company (NASDAQ-LABS).  LabOne 
provides risk appraisal, clinical and substance-abuse testing services to 
insurance companies, physicians and employers.

LabOne provides risk-appraisal laboratory testing services to the insurance 
industries in the United States and Canada.  The tests performed are 
specifically designed to assist an insurance company in objectively 
evaluating the mortality and morbidity risks posed by policy applicants.  The 
majority of the testing is performed on individual life insurance policy 
applicants.  LabOne also provides testing services on individual and group 
medical and disability policy applicants.

LabOne's reported net earnings of $1 million for the second quarter of 1995 
compared to the prior year's second quarter net earnings of $1.9  million.  
For the six months ended June 30, 1995, LabOne's reported net earnings of 
$2.2 million on revenues of $29.3 million, compared to the prior year's six 
months net earnings of $3.9 million on revenues of $30.8 million.

LabOne's revenues in the second quarter 1995 were $14.6 million as compared 
to $15.6 million in the same period last year.  The 6% decrease can be 
attributed to decreases in insurance laboratory revenue of $1.9 million.  The 
total number of applicants tested in the second quarter 1995 decreased by 9% 
as compared to the same quarter last year primarily due to a national decline 
in the number of life insurance policies written.  Average revenue per 
insurance applicant declined 7% during the second quarter 1995 as compared to 
1994's second quarter due to continued competitive pressures.

LabOne's cost of sales for insurance testing services decreased 19% in the 
second quarter of 1995 compared to the prior year's second quarter.  This was 
due to decreases in Canadian expenses, depreciation expense and net postage.  
LabOne consolidated its Canadian laboratory testing with the Lenexa, Kansas 
facility during the third quarter of 1994 resulting in a decrease in costs of 
sales.  Depreciation expense decreased due to certain equipment being fully 
depreciated.

The insurance premium finance services operations were profitable during 1995 
and 1994. On May 31, 1995, this subsidiary, Agency Premium Resource, Inc., 
was sold.  Seafield generated proceeds of $9.6 million and an after-tax gain 
of $1.4 million on the sale.

The underwriting and policy administration services business incurred losses 
in the first six months of 1995 approximating 1994's comparative period 
losses. On July 17, 1995, this subsidiary, International Underwriting 
Services, Inc., was sold.  Seafield generated proceeds of $2.1 million and an 
after-tax gain of approximately $1 million in 1995's third quarter.


Healthcare Services Segment

The following businesses are considered to be in the healthcare services 
segment:  advanced cancer treatment services, laboratory testing for 
physicians and employers, substance abuse laboratory testing, and 
radiopharmaceuticals and related services for nuclear medicine.

Response Technologies, Inc. (Response), a 59% owned subsidiary of Seafield, 
is a publicly-traded company (AMEX-RTK).  Response is a leading provider of 
advanced cancer treatments and related services, principally on an outpatient 
basis, through treatment centers owned or managed by Response.  The owned 
centers, known as IMPACT(registered trademark)  (IMPlementing Advanced Cancer 
Treatments) Centers, are staffed by experienced oncology nurses, pharmacists, 
laboratory technologists, and other support personnel to deliver outpatient 
services under the direction of private practicing oncologists.  The primary 
treatments provided by the centers involve high-dose chemotherapy coupled 
with support of the patient's immune system through the use of autologous 
peripheral blood stem cell reinfusion.  The centers also provide home 
pharmacy and outpatient infusional services for their patients.

Beginning in 1994, Response began expanding its network of centers to include 
hospital-affiliated centers.  These centers may entail a management agreement 
(managed centers) or a jointly-owned entity (jointly-owned centers).  For 
managed centers, Response provides technical and administrative services, 
including treatment protocols and data management, employee training and 
reimbursement support.  Patient care and laboratory services are provided and 
billed to third parties by the host hospital, with a management fee paid to 
Response.

For jointly-owned centers, Response and the host hospital contribute cash and 
other forms of capital to establish an entity to provide outpatient and 
inpatient services to its patients.  These entities will purchase services 
from the hospital to deliver and manage complex cancer treatments.  Response 
contemplates that it will maintain management control of these jointly-owned 
programs, and accordingly, plans to include the results of operations on a 
consolidated basis.

As of June 30, 1995, Response had 28 IMPACT Centers, seven managed centers 
and one jointly-owned center located in 19 states.  Subsequent to quarter-
end, Response announced the establishment of two additional jointly-owned 
centers.  Response anticipates continued nationwide expansion over the next 
few years, primarily through the establishment of jointly-owned centers.

Response reported net earnings of $729,000 and $1.6 million for the quarter 
and six months ended June 30, 1995 compared to net losses of $546,000 and 
$1.5 million for the same periods last year.  Revenues for the quarter ended 
June 30, 1995 of $11.4 million increased $2.1 million or 22% when compared to 
the quarter ended June 30, 1994.  Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 
1995 of $22.6 million increased $4.8 million or 27% when compared to the six 
months ended June 30, 1994.  Revenues for the quarter and six months ended 
June 30, 1995 also included approximately $297,000 and $567,000, 
respectively, related to efforts to begin conducting pharmaceutical contract 
research in parallel with clinical trials data management activities.

Response's operating expenses for 1995's second quarter increased $736,000 or 
10% when compared to 1994's second quarter.  Operating expenses for 1995's 
first six months increased $1.7 million or 11% when compared to 1994's first 
six months.  These expenses consist of payroll costs, pharmaceutical and 
laboratory expenses, rent expense and other expenses.  Operating expenses 
display a high degree of variability in proportion to patient services 
revenue.  Operating expenses as a percent of revenue decreased to 73% during 
1995's second quarter from 81% in the 1994's second quarter.  Similarly, 
operating expenses as a percent of revenue during the first six months of 
1995 decreased to 73% from 83% in 1994's first six months.  These decreases 
are primarily attributable to operating efficiencies at higher levels of 
center activity and certain fixed operating expenses being spread over a 
larger revenue base.

Response's general and administrative costs in 1995's second quarter 
increased $249,000 or 22% when compared to 1994's second quarter.  These 
expenses increased $455,000 or 21% for the six months ended June 30, 1995 
when compared to 1994's first six months.  These increases are primarily 
attributable to increases in administrative payroll and related costs.  As a 
percentage of revenue, general and administrative costs were 12% for all 
periods reported.  Response's depreciation and amortization expense decreased 
$73,000 or 14% during the second quarter and decreased $213,000 or 20% in the 
first six months of 1995.  These decreases are primarily attributable to 
startup costs of many centers being fully amortized.

Response's provision for doubtful accounts decreased 9% during the quarter 
and first six months ended June 30, 1995.  The provisions as a percentage of 
revenue were 5% in both the second quarter and first six months ended June 
30, 1995 compared to 7% in 1994's second quarter and first six months.  The 
decreases are attributable to a higher proportion of contract patient 
accounts, improved collections performance and an increase in revenues from 
physician sales, hospital management fees, and contract research for which 
collection is more certain.

LabOne's clinical laboratory testing services are provided to the health-care 
industry to aid in the diagnosing and treatment of patients. LabOne has 
entered into contracts with several professional organizations to serve as 
LabOne approved service centers for the collection of specimens for testing. 
LabOne plans to continue to increase the number of these sites beyond the 
base of over 200 sites in more than 30 metropolitan areas.  Additionally, 
LabOne maintains its own courier fleet or coordinates the retrieval of 
specimens for transport to the laboratory.

LabOne is certified by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services 
Administration (SAMHSA) to perform substance-abuse testing services for 
federally regulated employers. LabOne markets substance-abuse testing 
services throughout the country to both regulated and nonregulated employers.
LabOne's 24 to 48 hour turnaround and multiple testing options help clients 
reduce down time for affected employees and meet mandated drug screening 
guidelines.

In July 1995, LabOne announced that it and PCS Health Systems had signed an 
agreement with The Guardian Life Insurance Company of American (The Guardian) 
to provide the Lab Card laboratory benefit management (LBM) program to 
certain Guardian plan holders.  Initially, laboratory testing services will 
be offered in Northern California, involving more than 30,000 covered lives.  
It is anticipated that services under this agreement will begin during the 
third quarter of 1995.  Subsequent to service in Northern California, LabOne 
anticipates that its services may be offered to The Guardian's customer base 
throughout the nation.  The Guardian provides health coverage to over 
1,500,000 people in the United States.

Beginning the third quarter 1995, the Lab Card Program will be offered 
nationwide through an active sales and marketing effort to insurance 
carriers, as well as to self-insured and partially-insured companies and 
other organizations.  Through its LBM program, LabOne has developed Lab Card 
to reduce the total cost of outpatient laboratory testing by as much as 50 
percent.  By using Lab Card, patients incur no out-of-pocket expenses for 
outpatient lab work, and their employers save substantially against their 
current lab expenditures.  The Lab Card Program does not have the incidental 
administrative costs associated with many benefit programs and is offered as 
an optional benefit used at the discretion of the individual patient.  
Agreements signed as of July 1, 1995, including The Guardian, bring the total 
of lives covered under the Lab Card Program to more than 225,000.

LabOne's clinical and substance-abuse testing revenues were $1.1 million in 
1995's second quarter.  Cost of sales for clinical and substance abuse 
testing were $2 million in 1995's second quarter while associated general and 
administrative expenses were approximately $1 million.

Another healthcare subsidiary, Pyramid Diagnostic Services, Inc. (Pyramid), 
reported losses in the second quarters and first six months of 1995 and 1994. 
Currently, nine pharmacies distribute radiopharmaceuticals and related 
services to nuclear medicine departments, clinics and hospitals.  This 
subsidiary is currently being marketed for sale.  There are no assurances 
that proceeds from a sale of this subsidiary would equal Seafield's book 
value of $3.3 million.


Other Operating Results

Other revenues include revenues by a real estate, personal property, sales 
and use tax consulting subsidiary.  On May 31, 1995, this subsidiary, 
Tenenbaum & Associates, Inc., completed an asset sales agreement.  The 
earnings effect of the sale and liquidation of this subsidiary is 
approximately break-even for Seafield with after-tax proceeds anticipated to 
equal book value.

Other investments contributing earnings include venture capital and liquidity 
investments. The return on short-term investments is included in the 
investment income line in the consolidated statements of earnings.  
Investment income totaled $2.3 million in 1995's second quarter compared to 
$749,000 in last year's second quarter.  As a holding company, Seafield's 
quarterly earnings can be significantly affected by fluctuations in security 
prices.  In 1995, the consolidated effective tax rate was primarily impacted 
by non-deductible goodwill amortization, utilization of subsidiary prior 
years' losses and tax benefits generated on the sale of subsidiary companies.

Seafield has investments in two majority-owned entities that are publicly 
traded, LabOne and Response.  At June 30, 1995, based on the market prices of 
publicly-traded shares of these two subsidiaries, pretax unrealized gains of 
approximately $113 million on these investments were not reflected in either 
Seafield's book value or stockholders' equity.


Real Estate-discontinued operations

After reviewing sales activity and appraisals in 1992, Seafield believed it 
was an appropriate time to discontinue real estate operations and sell the 
remaining real estate assets as soon as practicable.  Seafield holds real 
estate through a wholly-owned subsidiary, Scout Development Corporation.  The 
real estate holdings are diverse in location and include residential land, 
undeveloped land, single-family housing and commercial structures.

As a result of the decision to discontinue real estate, a $6 million after-
tax provision for estimated write-downs and costs through final disposition 
was included in 1992's financial statements. An additional $2.9 million 
after-tax loss provision was recorded in the fourth quarter of 1994.

Real estate revenues were $4.3 million during 1995's second quarter compared 
to $2.8 million in last year's second quarter.  Revenues during 1995's first 
six months were $5.6 compared to $4.4 million in 1994's first six months.  
The 1995 sales include 2 commercial parcels in Kansas, 1 commercial parcel in 
Texas, 1 commercial parcel in Missouri, and 11 residential lots and units in 
Florida and New Mexico.  The 1994 sales included 2 residential lots in Texas 
and 15 residential lots and units in Florida and New Mexico.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

On June 30, 1995, at the holding company level, Seafield had available for 
operations approximately $36.2 million in cash and short-term investments 
with an additional $5.8 million in long-term securities.  On a consolidated 
basis, Seafield and its subsidiaries (primarily LabOne with $40.5 million) 
had $81.5 million in cash and short-term investments at June 30, 1995.  
Current assets totaled approximately $123.7 million while current liabilities 
totaled $15.6 million.  Net cash provided by operations totaled $5.3 million 
in 1995's first six months compared to $10.6 million in last year's first six 
months.  The decrease primarily reflects a change in the short-term trading 
portfolio and accounts receivable.

In 1994, Seafield acquired 382,350 Seafield shares for $13 million.  At June 
30, 1995, the company had no remaining authorization for the purchase of 
Seafield shares.  During 1995, treasury stock issued for exercised options 
has totaled 43,065 shares.

In 1990, Seafield's board of directors authorized up to $20 million for the 
acquisition of LabOne common stock.  In 1993, Seafield's board of directors 
approved an additional $5 million for the purchase of LabOne stock.  In 1995, 
Seafield did not acquire any shares of LabOne stock.  At June 30, 1995, the 
remaining aggregate authorization totals $7.7 million.

Seafield is primarily a holding company.  Sources of cash are investment 
income and sales, borrowings and dividends from subsidiaries.  The dividend 
paying capabilities of subsidiaries may be restricted as to their transfer to 
the parent company.  The primary uses of cash for Seafield are investments, 
subsidiary stock purchases and dividends to shareholders.

During 1992, Seafield received proposed adjustments from the Internal Revenue 
Service (IRS) with respect to 1986-87 federal income taxes.  Seafield 
protested these adjustments during 1992.  Later, the IRS determined to 
include the 1988-90 tax periods as part of its review.  The original amount 
of additional taxes proposed by the IRS was approximately $17 million for the 
1986-87 period. On May 12, 1995, the IRS issued a revised 1986-87 adjustment 
report.  This report reduced the original amount of proposed taxes to $13.5 
million.  This new report will be protested.

On June 5, 1995, the IRS issued its 1988-89 report.  This report included 
reversals of some additional taxes made in the 1986-87 report.  The amount of 
additional proposed taxes for 1988-89 is $182,000.  The IRS has said it plans 
to issue its proposed tax adjustments for 1990 by the third quarter 1995.  
The IRS has sent one proposed adjustment for 1990 totaling $9.1 million in 
additional taxes.  The IRS has used this proposed adjustment to deny 
Seafield's 1990 net operating and net capital loss carryback claim for refund 
of $7.6 million.  The effect is to propose additional net taxes of $1.5 
million for 1990.  These proposed adjustments will be protested as well.  
Seafield believes that it has meritorious defenses to many of the issues 
raised by the IRS, and adequate accruals for income tax.

In 1988, LabOne's board of directors authorized up to $25 million to enter 
the market from time to time for the purpose of acquiring shares of LabOne's 
common stock.  As of June 30, 1995, LabOne had acquired 2,099,235 shares at a 
total cost of $22.7 million.  There were no treasury stock purchased during 
1995.

LabOne paid quarterly dividends during 1994 and the first and second quarter 
of 1995.  As an 82% owner, Seafield received $3.8 million of cash as 
dividends from LabOne in 1995.  LabOne's working capital position decreased 
by $1.1 million to $47.5 million at June 30, 1995.  LabOne expects to fund 
operations, capital additions and future dividend payments from a combination 
of cash reserves, cash flow and short-term borrowings.  

LabOne had no short-term borrowings during 1995 and an unsecured $1 million 
line of credit available for general corporate purposes.  During 1995's 
second quarter, LabOne invested $600,000 in additional property, plant, and 
equipment.

Response's working capital at June 30, 1995 was $13.9 million with current 
assets of $19.8 million and current liabilities of $5.9 million.  Cash and 
cash equivalents and short-term investments represent $3.4 million of 
Response's current assets.  At June 30, 1995, Response had a $2.5 million 
revolving bank line of credit secured by eligible accounts receivable.  The 
line, which expires April 1, 1996, is expected to be renewed for one-year 
terms.  Response had no borrowings under its line of credit as of June 30, 
1995.

Response had no material commitments for capital expenditures at June 30, 
1995. Response believes that its cash and capital resources, together with 
available credit facilities, will be sufficient to finance current operations 
and anticipated expansion of its network of IMPACT Centers.

In February 1995, Seafield retained Alex. Brown and Sons Incorporated as 
financial advisor to assist Seafield in considering strategic alternatives to 
maximize shareholder value.  One alternative that Seafield expects to pursue 
is a cash-option merger of Seafield into LabOne.  The board of directors will 
consider other business combination proposals that are presented to it.  
There can be no assurances that either a merger with LabOne or any other 
business combination will occur.


NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114 "Accounting by Creditors 
for Impairment of a Loan" is required to be implemented for the year ending 
December 31, 1995.  The adoption of this standard is not expected to have any 
significant impact on Seafield's financial position or results of operations.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 "Accounting for the 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed of" 
is required to be implemented for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 
1995.  Seafield has not ascertained the impact, if any, on its financial 
position or results of operations.

No other recently issued accounting standards presently exist which will 
require adoption in future periods.


PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

A lawsuit was initiated in 1986 by the Registrant's former insurance 
subsidiary against an architectural and engineering firm and a construction 
firm to recover costs incurred to remove and replace the facade on the 
former home office building.  Because the costs had been incurred prior to 
any discussions regarding a sale of the insurance subsidiary, Registrant 
negotiated with the buyer for an assignment of the cause of action from the 
insurance subsidiary. Thus, any recovery will be for the benefit of the 
Registrant and all costs incurred in connection with the litigation will be 
paid by the Registrant.  Any ultimate recovery will be recognized as income 
when received and would be subject to income taxes.  In September 1993, the 
Missouri Court of Appeals reversed a $5.7 million judgment granted in 1992 
in favor of the Registrant; the Court of Appeals set aside $1.7 million of 
the judgment and remanded the balance of the case to the trial court for a 
jury trial limited to the question of whether or not the applicable statute 
of limitations barred the claim.  The retrial is expected to occur in the 
first quarter of 1996.

In 1988, a lawsuit was initiated against the Registrant's former insurance 
subsidiary by its former partners in the Quail Run real estate project in 
Santa Fe, New Mexico.  The plaintiffs alleged that the project partnership 
agreement was improperly terminated, thus denying them an ongoing interest 
in the project, and the loss of their exclusive real estate brokerage 
arrangement.  The plaintiffs were seeking approximately $11 million in 
actual damages and unspecified punitive damages based upon alleged breaches 
of contract and fiduciary duty and economic compulsion.  After a trial in 
July 1994, the jury returned a verdict absolving Registrant of any 
liability.  Subsequent to the trial, the judge awarded Registrant 
approximately $250,000 in connection with marketing expenses which the 
plaintiffs were to have repaid.  In April 1995, the court awarded Registrant 
approximately $64,000 in costs with interest until paid.  Plaintiffs have 
appealed all judgments against them.  The appeal will likely be considered 
by the court in the fourth quarter of 1995, with a ruling expected in the 
first half of 1996.  Because the Quail Run project was retained by 
Registrant in connection with the sale of its former insurance subsidiary, 
Registrant defended the lawsuit under an indemnification arrangement with 
the purchaser of the former insurance subsidiary; all costs incurred and any 
judgments rendered in favor of the plaintiff will be for the account of the 
Registrant.

In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel and 
based upon current available information, none of these lawsuits is expected 
to have a material adverse impact on the consolidated financial position or 
results of operations of the Registrant.


Item 2.  Changes in Securities
         (a)  Changes in Securities:  None

         (b)  Under the Missouri General Corporation Law, no dividends to 
stockholders may be declared or paid at a time when the net assets of the 
corporation are less than its stated capital or when the payment thereof 
would reduce the net assets of the corporation below its stated capital.  At 
June 30, 1995 the net assets of Seafield Capital Corporation exceeded its 
stated capital by $192,123,000.


Item 3.  Defaults Upon Senior Securities
         None.

Item 6.  Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K

         (a)  Exhibits:
              27     Financial Data Schedule - as filed electronically by 
the Registrant in conjunction with this Form 10-Q.

         (b)  Reports on Form 8-K:
              (1)  A current report on Form 8-K was filed with the 
Commission on May 23, 1995.  This Form 8-K reported that the Registrant 
issued a news release on May 23, 1995.  The text of the news release is as 
follows:  "Seafield Capital Corporation (Seafield) announced the signing of 
definitive agreements to sell all of its stock in Agency Premium Resource, 
Inc. (APR) to Anuhco, Inc., a public company headquartered in Overland Park, 
Kansas.  Seafield owns 80.1% of APR on a fully-diluted basis.  Anuhco will 
also be acquiring the remaining APR stock from APR management, thereby 
acquiring 100% of APR.

APR is a financial services company providing short-term collateralized 
installment loans to fund the payment of premiums by insureds for the 
purchase of commercial insurance.

Seafield Capital Corporation expects to consummate this transaction by the 
end of May, 1995."

              (2)  A current report on Form 8-K was filed with the Commission
on June 5, 1995.  This Form 8-K reported that the Registrant issued a news
release on June 1, 1995.  The text of the news release is as follows:
"Seafield Capital Corporation (Seafield) announced the closing of the sale of
its 80.1% stock position in Agency Premium Resource, Inc. (APR)  to Anuhco,
Inc.  Anuhco also acquired the remaining 19.9% of APR from APR management.
The sales price for 100% of APR was $11.5 million.  Seafield generated an
after-tax gain of approximately $1.2 million on the sale of its stock.

Seafield also announced the completion of an asset purchase agreement of 
Tenenbaum Associates, Inc. to Ernst and Young.  The earnings effect of this 
sale is approximately break-even for Seafield, with after-tax proceeds 
equaling book value."

              (3)  A current report on Form 8-K was filed with the 
Commission on July 31, 1995.  This Form 8-K reported that the Registrant 
issued a news release on July 18, 1995.  The text of the news release is as 
follows:  "Seafield Capital Corporation announced today the closing of the 
sale of its 80% stock position in International Underwriting Services, Inc. 
(IUS) to Genelco Incorporated, a wholly-owned subsidiary of General American 
Life Insurance Company.  Seafield will generate after-tax proceeds of $2.6 
million, for an after-tax gain of approximately $1 million."
