           Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
               (in millions, except share amounts)


(d)  Alcoa Nederland Finance B.V. (ANF), an Alcoa subsidiary, has
     loan commitments to AIHC and its subsidiaries for 44 million
     Dutch guilders, 11 million pounds sterling, and 25 million
     Belgian francs.  At March 31, 1994 ANF had loaned 39.5
     million Dutch guilders at 5.73%, 6.7 million pounds sterling
     at 5.7%, and 10 million Belgian francs at 7.31%; or the
     equivalent of $33.5.

(e)  The income tax provision for the period is based on the
     effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the
     full year. The difference between the 1994 estimated
     effective tax rate of 32.9% and the U.S. statutory rate
     of 35% is primarily due to taxes on foreign income.

(f)  Certain amounts in previously issued financial
     statements were reclassified to conform to 1994
     presentations.

     In the opinion of AIHC, the financial statements in this
     Form 10-Q report include all adjustments, including those of
     a normal and recurring nature, necessary to fairly state the
     results for the periods presented.  This Form 10-Q report
     should be read in conjunction with the company's annual
     report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1993.

     The financial data required in this Form 10-Q by Rule 10-01
     of Regulation S-X have been reviewed by Coopers & Lybrand,
     the company's independent certified public accountants, as
     described in their report on page 7.

Independent Auditor's Review Report
- -----------------------------------

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
Alcoa International Holdings Company (AIHC)



     We have reviewed the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of
AIHC and subsidiaries as of March 31, 1994 and the unaudited
statements of consolidated income and retained earnings for the
three-month periods ended March 31, 1994 and 1993, and
consolidated cash flows for the three-month periods ended March
31, 1994 and 1993, which are included in AIHC's Form 10-Q for the
period ended March 31, 1994.  These financial statements are the
responsibility of AIHC's management.

     We conducted our review in accordance with standards
established by the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants.  A review of interim financial information consists
principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data
and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters.  It is substantially less in scope than an
audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion
regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

     Based on our review, we are not aware of any material
modifications that should be made to the consolidated financial
statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

     We have previously audited, in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards, the consolidated balance sheet of
AIHC and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993, and the related
statements of consolidated income and retained earnings, and cash
flows for the year then ended (not presented herein).  In our
report dated January 11, 1994, except for Note P for which the
date is February 7, 1994, we expressed an unqualified opinion on
those consolidated financial statements.  In our opinion, the
information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated
balance sheet as of December 31, 1993 is fairly stated, in all
material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet
from which it has been derived.

</TABLE>


Overview
Alcoa International Holding Company's (AIHC) 1994 first
quarter earnings increased $1.1 from the 1993 first quarter.
Lower prices on products within the Alumina segment and
higher equity losses kept the 1994 profit close to the 1993
level.  Revenues increased 18%.  The increase was primarily
due to  Alcoa-Kofem, Kft. (Kofem) for which no activity was
reflected in the 1993 period.  Kofem was fully integrated
into AIHC's financial records during the second quarter of
1993.  Kofem's first quarter 1994 revenues were $52.

Alumina segment
Revenues from the Alumina segment increased $10.3, or 5%,
from the 1993 first quarter.

Alumina shipments in the 1994 first quarter increased 15%
from the year-ago quarter reflecting full operations of the
AofA's Wagerup refinery expansion which was completed in late
1992.  However, revenues were only up 5% because of a 9%
decline in prices.  The oversupply of alumina is expected to
continue well into 1995, and there is little expectation of
improvement of alumina prices in the near term.

Alumina-based chemicals revenues increased 38%.  About 12% of
the revenue increase is attributable to shipments by ACAP
Australia which began operations in the 1993 fourth quarter.
The remainder of the increase results from higher AofA
shipments, up 43% in the 1994 first quarter, partly offset by
a 12% decline in prices.

Revenues from gold operations for the 1994 three-month period
were down 12% from the year-ago period due to lower shipments
and an 8% reduction in prices.

Aluminum segment
Revenues from the Aluminum segment were up 38% from the 1993
first quarter.  The increase was primarily due to Kofem.
Excluding the impact of Kofem, revenues for this segment were
up 9% from the 1993 first quarter.

Primary aluminum shipments were down 3% from the 1993 first
quarter but revenues increased 2% due to slightly higher
prices.  AofA reduced production by 25,000 metric tons (mt)
at its Point Henry smelter in Geelong, Australia and 26,000
mt at the Portland, Australia smelter.  AofA has a 45%
interest in the Portland smelter.

Revenues from the sale of rigid container sheet (RCS) by AofA
increased 6% from the 1993 first quarter.  Volume and price
increases had equal impacts on revenue.  Volume and price
were up 3% and 2%, respectively.

Revenues from Alcoa Nederland Holding Company (ANH) rose 12%
from the 1993 quarter.  The increase is primarily due to
higher shipments of extrusions and flat-rolled products, up
12% from the 1993 first quarter, partially offset by an 8%
decline in sales of building, agricultural and other
fabricated products.

Sales and Distribution Segment
Revenues from the Sales and Distribution segment, which
includes sales of alumina-based chemicals and aluminum
products, grew by 17% from the 1993 quarter.  Higher sales of
RCS to customers in Mexico and the Far East accounted for the
major share of the increase, partly offset by lower sales of
various products into Venezuela.  The higher sales in Mexico,
the major area of improvement, reflects new business.  Sales
to the Far East will likely decline as sourcing of product is
transferred to KSL Alcoa Aluminum Company, Ltd. (KAAL), a 50%
owned AIHC venture in Japan that produces RCS.

Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold increased 4 percentage points to 77.4% of
sales in the 1994 quarter.  The 1994 ratio was unfavorably
impacted by low margins on Kofem products.

Other Income and Expense Items
Other income was $14.0, down 22% from the 1993 first quarter.
The decrease resulted from lower exchange adjustments and
lower interest income on AofA's short-term investments.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense increased
$3.3 to $30.2 in the 1994 first quarter.  The increase
reflects depreciation expense from Kofem and amortization of
goodwill resulting from the purchase of European sales
subsidiaries from Alcoa.

Interest expense declined $1.1 from the 1993 three-month
period primarily due to lower interest rates.

AIHC's estimated effective tax rate is a weighted average of
the statutory rates in the countries where AIHC operates,
primarily Australia and the U.S.  The estimated effective tax
rate for 1994 is 32.9%  The difference between this rate and 
the U. S. statutory rate of 35% is primarily due to taxes on
foreign income.

AIHC's equity losses grew to $4.9 in the 1994 first quarter
from $1.3 in 1993.  The higher losses were from KAAL, partly
offset by improved results from Elkem Aluminium ANS, AIHC's
smelting partnership in Norway.  The KAAL losses are
attributable to low RCS prices.

AIHC continues to participate in environmental assessments
and cleanups at a number of locations, including operating
facilities and adjoining properties; at previously owned and
operated facilities; and at other waste sites.  AIHC records
a liability for environmental remediation costs or damages
when a cleanup program becomes probable and the costs can be
reasonably estimated.  As assessments and cleanups proceed,
these liabilities are adjusted based on progress in
determining the extent of remedial actions and related costs
and damages.  The liabilities can change substantially due to
factors such as the nature and extent of contamination,
changes in remedial requirements and technological changes.
AIHC's environmental remediation reserve balance at March 31,
1994 was $36 and reflects AIHC's most probable cost to
remediate identified environmental conditions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents of $143.8 were $20.5 less than at
year-end 1993.   Cash from operations resulted in the
consumption of $24.4 during the first quarter of 1994
compared to $19.8 generated in the 1993 first quarter.  Cash
provided from investing activities almost offset cash used
for financing activities during the 1994 three-month period.

Dividends to preferred shareholders in the 1994 three-month
period were $2.1 compared to $3.9 during the year-ago period.
The decline reflects lower dividend rates, most of which are
set by auction from time to time.  AofA paid no dividends
during the first quarter of 1994 compared to $54.8 in the
comparable 1993 period.  A dividend of $42.3, normally paid
during the first quarter, was not paid until April 1994.
AIHC received $21.6, representing its 51% share of the
dividend.

In April 1994, AIHC redeemed all 500,000 outstanding shares
of its Voting Preferred Stock, Series I.

At March 31, 1994, AIHC's debt as a percentage of invested
capital was 10.1%, compared to 10.3% at year-end 1993.
Higher minority interests and shareholders' equity caused the
