                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                     THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996
                                (Unaudited)


1. Basis of Presentation.

The financial statements presented herein were prepared in accordance with
the instructions to Form 10-QSB.  Accordingly the statements presented do
not include all the information and note disclosure required by generally
accepted accounting principles.  The statements should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Registrant's Form 10-KSB for the year ended March 31, 1996.  The
accompanying financial statements have not been audited by independent
accountants but, in the opinion of management, contain all adjustments, all
of which were of a normal recurring nature, necessary to summarize fairly
the Registrant's financial position and results of operations.  The results
of operations for the three months ended June 30, 1996 may not be
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March
31, 1997.

2. Subsequent Events

On May 24, 1996, the Company issued 5,680,514 common shares (approximately
65% of the outstanding common shares) in exchange for 606,061 common shares
of Casmyn Corp. ("Casmyn").  The shares issued are restricted from trading
and are subject to a repurchase agreement whereby the Company may, until
May 24, 1997, repurchase the common shares it issued by returning the
Casmyn shares.  The Company and Casmyn have also executed a proxy agreement
whereby the Company's president may vote the shares owned by Casmyn.

The Company's investment in Casmyn, representing approximately seven
percent of Casmyn's outstanding common stock, is valued at approximately
$6,970,000, representing $1.23 per share of the Company's common stock. 
This value reflects a discount from the recent average trading price of the
Company's common stock due to the restricted nature of the shares issued in
the transaction

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

This discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
of WestAmerica Corporation and the notes related thereto included under
Item 1 of this report.

MD&A CAPITAL RESOURCES & LIQUIDITY

Consolidated current assets decreased $278,000 to $1,666,000 at June 30,
1996, compared with $1,944,000 at March 31, 1996.  Current liabilities
decreased from $1,544,000 at March 31, 1996 to $1,428,000 at June 30, 1996. 
The current ratio was 1.16:1 at June 30, 1996 compared to 1.26:1 at March
31, 1996.  The current liabilities include $360,000 which, though
technically due during the current fiscal year (March 21, 1997) is expected
to be rolled forward into a new three year note.  The Registrant has
sufficient liquidity to provide for foreseeable business needs.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1996, were $1,270,000 compared
to $588,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 1995.  Commission
income increased $574,000 to $1,074,000 due to an increased number of
investment representatives being employed by the company's subsidiary,
WestAmerica Investment Group, Inc. ("WIG"), increased revenue per
representative and a generally favorable market environment for securities.
Oil and gas activities contributed $196,000 in revenue for the three months
ended June 30, 1996, compared to $83,000 for the three months ended June
30, 1995.  The $113,000 increase in oil and gas activities was primarily
due to the sale of coalbed methane producing wells during the three month
period ended June 30, 1996.

Cost and expenses were $1,217,000 for the three month period ended June 30,
1996, compared to $763,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 1995. 
Brokerage commissions, clearing brokers' charges and operating expenses
totaled $973,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1996, compared to
$594,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1995.  Brokerage costs
declined from 119% of brokerage revenue during the three months ended June
30, 1995 to 91% of revenue during the three months ended June 30, 1996. 
Expenses of oil and gas operations were $132,000 or 67% of revenue in the
three months ended June 30, 1996 compared to $82,000 or 99% of revenue
during the three months ended June 30, 1995.  Costs and expenses generally
did not increase proportionately to the increase in revenue, for example,
revenue increased 215% while total cost and expenses increased 159%.  The
Company's primary sources of revenue during the period ended June 30, 1996
were commission and investment management fee income - 85% and Oil and gas
operations - 15%.  Net income was $53,000 for the three months ended June
30, 1996 compared to a net loss of $176,000 for the three months ended June
30, 1995.  This change to profitability was primarily a result of economies
of scale effecting both the Company's oil and gas operations as well as its
financial services subsidiary.

<PAGE>
Separately stated, the Company's oil and gas operations posted a loss of
$41,000 and the financial services subsidiary net income of $94,000 in the
three months ended June 30, 1996.

On May 24, 1996 the Company issued 5,680,514 common shares (approximately
65% of the outstanding shares) in exchange for 606,061 shares of Casmyn
Corp. ("Casmyn").  The shares issued are restricted from trading and are
subject to a repurchase agreement whereby the Company may, until May 24,
1997 repurchase the common shares it issued by returning the Casmyn shares. 
The Company and Casmyn have also executed a proxy agreement whereby the
Company's president may vote the shares owned by Casmyn.  The Company's
investment in Casmyn, representing approximately seven percent of Casmyn's
outstanding common stock is valued at approximately $6,970,000 representing
