      The sole purpose of this amendment to The Rouse Company's Quarterly 
Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 1995 is to correct a 
typographical error and an arithmetic error in the Consolidated Statements
of Cash Flows for the Six Months Ended June 30, 1995 and 1994.  Specifically,
in the reconciliation of net loss to net cash provided by operating 
activities, the previously filed Form 10-Q reported the numbers in the 1995
column relating to "Decrease in operating assets and liabilities, net" and 
"Net cash provided by operating activities" as "2,736" and "53,757",
respectively.  This amended Form 10-Q reports the numbers as "2,456" and
"53,477", respectively.

                      THE ROUSE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

             Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)         
                                 June 30, 1995

(1)  Principles of statement presentation

     The unaudited consolidated financial statements include all
       adjustments which are necessary, in the opinion of management, to
       fairly reflect the Company's financial position and results of
       operations.  All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. 
       The statements have been prepared using the accounting policies
       described in the 1994 Annual Report to Shareholders.

     In its annual reports, the Company has included certain supplementary
       current value basis financial information with the historical cost
       basis financial statements.  The current value basis presentation has
       been and will continue to be an integral part of the Company's
       formal, year-end reporting, but will not be included in quarterly
       reports to shareholders.  Therefore, all of the financial information
       contained herein is based on the historical cost basis as required by
       generally accepted accounting principles.  

(2)  Property

     Properties in development include construction and development in
       progress and pre-construction costs, net.  The construction and
       development in progress accounts include land and land improvements
       of $12,310,000 at June 30, 1995.

     Changes in pre-construction costs, net, for the six months ended
       June 30, 1995 are summarized as follows (in thousands):

       Balance at beginning of period, before
         pre-construction reserve                                    $  20,633 
       Costs incurred                                                    6,553
       Costs transferred to construction and development
         in progress                                                       (13)
       Costs transferred to operating properties                        (1,202)
       Costs of unsuccessful projects written off                          (64)
                                                                        25,907
       Less pre-construction reserve                                   (15,845)
     
       Balance at end of period, net                                 $  10,062

      At June 30, 1995 properties held for development and sale include net
         investments of $98,199,000 in several retail center and other
         properties that are being marketed for sale.

(3)   Debt

   Debt at June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994 is summarized as follows
      (in thousands):

                                 June 30, 1995       December 31, 1994 
                                          Due in                Due in
                                Total    one year      Total   one year

     Mortgages and bonds      $1,980,956 $111,525   $2,063,978 $117,511     
     Convertible sub-
       ordinated debentures      130,000       --      130,000       --
     Other loans                 332,505    8,148      278,898   10,744 
       Total                  $2,443,461 $119,673   $2,472,876 $128,255    


     In February 1995, the Company registered $150,000,000 of unsecured
       notes for issuance to the public from time to time through February
       1997.  As of June 30, 1995, the Company had issued $100,300,000 of
       these unsecured notes with a weighted average interest rate of 7.67%
       and a weighted average maturity of 7 years. 

     The amounts due in one year reflect the terms of existing loan
       agreements except where refinancing commitments from outside lenders
       have been obtained.  In these instances, maturities are determined
       based on the terms of the refinancing commitments. 

     Approximately $71,765,000 of the debt maturing in one year at June 30,
       1995 relates to a retail center mortgage due in February 1996.  The
       Company expects to refinance this mortgage on a long-term basis at or
       prior to its scheduled maturity.

(4)  Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

     The Company has authorized issuance of 50,000,000 shares of Preferred
       stock of 1 cent par value per share of which 4,505,168 shares have
       been classified as Series A Convertible Preferred.  At June 30, 1995
       and December 31, 1994, there were 4,505,014 and 4,505,041 shares
       outstanding, respectively.

(5)  Gain (loss) on dispositions of assets and other provisions, net

     The loss in 1995 relates primarily to provisions for losses on several
       retail center properties the Company has decided to sell and is
       actively marketing ($10,420,000).  These provisions for losses were
       recognized based on the estimated fair values of the individual
       properties less costs to sell.  These losses were partially offset by
       a gain related to the disposition of an interest in a retail center
       property ($1,940,000).

(5)  Gain (loss) on dispositions of assets and other provisions, net  
     (continued)

     The loss in 1994 relates primarily to provisions for losses on
       investments in two operating properties ($7,728,000) and damages to a
       retail property as a result of an earthquake ($446,000).  The
       provisions for losses were recognized based on management's
       determination that the Company would not continue to support the
       projects under the existing arrangements with lenders and/or partners
       and that it was unlikely that the Company would recover all of its
       investments in these projects based on forecasts of future cash
       flows.  These losses were partially offset by a gain related to the
       disposition of an interest in a property the Company continues to
       manage ($2,768,000). 

(6)  Contingencies

     On November 6, 1990, Robert P. Guastella Equities, Inc. ("Plaintiff"),
       a former tenant at the Riverwalk Shopping Center in New Orleans,
       Louisiana ("Riverwalk"), which is owned and operated by New Orleans
       Riverwalk Associates, an affiliate of the Company ("NORA"), filed
       suit in the Civil District Court of Orleans Parish, Louisiana against
       NORA, the Company, two Company affiliates, and a partner of NORA
       (collectively, "Defendants").  Plaintiff alleges that Defendants
       breached Plaintiff's lease agreement with NORA for the operation of a
       restaurant at Riverwalk and that as a result of these breaches it
       suffered losses and could not pay the rentals due under the lease
       agreement, as a result of which the lease and its tenancy were
       terminated by NORA.  Plaintiff sought damages of approximately
       $600,000 for these alleged breaches and $33,000,000 for alleged lost
       future profits which it claimed it would have earned had its lease
       not been terminated.  The Defendants filed answers denying the claims
       of Plaintiff asserting other defenses and raising a counterclaim. 
       The case was tried before a jury and, on October 28, 1993, the jury
       returned a verdict against Defendants upon which judgment was entered
       by the trial court on January 7, 1994, in the total net amount of
       approximately $9,128,000 (which included a net award for lost future
       profits of approximately $8,640,000) plus interest from the date the
       suit was filed and attorneys' fees in an amount to be determined.  On
       May 6, 1994, the trial court denied all post-trial motions of both
       Plaintiff and Defendants and entered an amended judgment in which it
       awarded Plaintiff $450,000 in attorneys' fees and awarded Defendants
       $25,000 in attorneys' fees.  Defendants believe that the verdict and
       judgment as entered to date are contrary to the facts and applicable 
       law.  On May 23, 1994, Defendants appealed this judgment to the
       Louisiana Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.  Briefs have been filed,
       and oral argument was held on March 8, 1995.  A decision is expected
       in the third or fourth quarter of 1995.  Defendants intend to
       vigorously pursue their rights of appeal.  An estimate of the

(6)  Contingencies (continued)
       
       ultimate possible loss in the case cannot be made at this time,
       although a reasonably possible range of loss could be as high as the
       full amount of the damages awarded in the case, together with
       interest accrued and attorneys' fees awarded.

     The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are defendants in various
       other litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of business,
       some of which involve claims for damages that are substantial in
       amount.  Some of these litigation matters are covered by insurance. 
       In the opinion of management, adequate provisions (less than
       $1,500,000 in the aggregate) have been made for losses with respect
       to all litigation matters (including with respect to the above-
       described suit), where appropriate, and the ultimate resolution of
       all such litigation matters is not likely to have a material effect
       on the consolidated financial position of the Company.  Due to the
       Company's modest and fluctuating net earnings (loss), it is not
       possible to predict whether the resolution of these matters is likely
       to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated net earnings
       (loss), and it is, therefore, possible that the resolution of these
       matters could have such a material effect in any future quarter or
       annual fiscal period.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
          Results of Operations:
 
The following discussion and analysis covers any material changes in
  financial condition since December 31, 1994 and any material changes in
  the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30,
  1995 as compared to the same periods in 1994.  This discussion and
  analysis should be read in conjunction with "Management's Discussion and
  Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in
  the 1994 Annual Report to Shareholders.

Operating Results:

Operating properties:

Revenues from retail centers increased $3,931,000 and $3,854,000 while
  total operating and interest expenses decreased $1,984,000 and $5,022,000
  for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995 as compared to the same
  periods in 1994.  The increases in revenues are attributable to the
  operations of expansions opened in August 1994 and March 1995, increased
  tenant lease cancellation payments, and higher effective rents on re-
  leased space.  These increases have been partially offset by lower
  recoveries of operating expenses, as discussed below, and the
  dispositions of properties in the first quarter of 1994 and second
  quarter of 1995.  The decreases in expenses are attributable to these
  dispositions, lower recoverable expenses as a result of operating expense
  reduction efforts and milder winter conditions experienced in the
  Northeast and lower interest expense due to debt restructurings and
  refinancings completed in 1994.  These decreases were partially offset by
  an increase in expenses associated with the operations of the expansions
  referred to above.

Revenues from office, mixed-use and other properties increased $136,000 and
  $456,000 and total operating and interest expenses decreased $800,000 and
  $154,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995 as compared to
  the same periods in 1994.  The increases in revenues are attributable
  primarily to higher occupancy at certain hotel and office properties in
  Columbia and tenant lease cancellation payments.  These increases have
  been partially offset by increased vacancy at a mixed-use project.  The
  decreases in total operating and interest expenses are attributable
  primarily to lower depreciation expense as the Company discontinued
  depreciating an industrial building it intends to sell.  These decreases
  are partially offset by expenses at two industrial buildings in Columbia
  which opened in the second quarter of 1994 and higher interest expense on
  a mixed-use project.  Interest on the project loan was lower in the first
  quarter of 1994 because the Company exercised an option in the loan
  agreement to make a specified payment and reduce the effective interest
  rate on the loan retroactive to the beginning of its term.  The payment
  was less than the interest previously accrued, and the difference was
  recorded as a reduction to interest expense in the quarter.

Land sales:

Revenues from land sales decreased $4,096,000 and $4,473,000 and total
  costs and expenses decreased $2,324,000 and $3,182,000 for the three and

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
          Results of Operations:

The decreases in revenues relate to lower sales of land for commercial/ 
other uses in Columbia.  The decreases in costs and expenses is
attributable primarily to decreased costs of sales due to lower sales
revenues.

Development:

These costs consist primarily of additions to the pre-construction reserve
  and new business costs.  The pre-construction reserve is maintained to
  provide for costs of projects which may not go forward to completion. 
  New business costs relate primarily to the initial evaluation of
  acquisition and development opportunities.  These costs increased in 1995
  when compared to 1994 due to the Company's more aggressive pursuit of new
  development and acquisition opportunities.  

Corporate:

Corporate operating expenses increased $279,000 and $629,000 for the three
  and six months ended June 30, 1995 when compared to the same periods in
  1994.  These increases are due primarily to costs of increased executive
  management focus on corporate matters.

Corporate interest costs were $3,624,000 and $3,420,000 for the three and
  six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively, and $7,204,000 and
  $6,568,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. 
  Of such amounts, $785,000 and $556,000 were capitalized during the three
  months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively, and $1,661,000 and
  $1,016,000 were capitalized during the six months ended June 30, 1995 and
  1994, respectively, on funds invested in development projects.  The
  increases in corporate interest costs are attributable primarily to
  additional debt used for corporate purposes.                              
                           
Gain (loss) on dispositions of assets and other provisions, net

The loss in 1995 relates primarily to provisions for losses on several
  retail center properties the Company has decided to sell and is actively
  marketing ($10,420,000).  These provisions for losses were recognized
  based on the estimated fair values of the individual properties less
  costs to sell.  These losses were partially offset by a gain related to
  the disposition of an interest in a retail center property ($1,940,000). 
  
The loss in 1994 relates primarily to provisions for losses on investments
  in two operating properties ($7,728,000) and damages to a retail property
  as a result of an earthquake ($446,000).  The provisions for losses were
  recognized based on management's determination that the Company would not
  continue to support the projects under the existing arrangements with
  lenders and/or partners and that it was unlikely that the Company would
  recover all of its investments in these projects based on forecasts of
  future cash flows.  These losses were partially offset by a gain related
  to the disposition of an interest in a property the Company continues to
  manage ($2,768,000).

Part I.  Financial Information, continued
Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
          Results of Operations:

Financial Condition and Liquidity:

Shareholders' equity decreased $31,698,000 from $95,026,000 at
  December 31, 1994 to $63,328,000 at June 30, 1995.  The decrease was due
  principally to the payment of regular quarterly dividends on the
  Company's common and Preferred stocks, and to a lesser extent, the
  Company's net loss for the six months ended June 30, 1995.

The Company had cash and cash equivalents and investments in marketable
  securities totaling $47,693,000 and $79,547,000 at June 30, 1995 and
  December 31, 1994, respectively, including $626,000 and $2,001,000,    
  respectively, restricted for use in the development of certain
  properties. 

In February 1995, the Company registered $150,000,000 of unsecured notes
  for issuance to the public from time to time through February 1997.  The
  notes can be issued, subject to market conditions, for varying terms of
  nine months or longer at fixed or floating rates based upon market
  indices at the time of issuance.  Proceeds of these notes have been or
  will be used to repay higher rate or recourse indebtedness of the
  Company.  As of June 30, 1995, the Company had issued $100,300,000 of
  notes, the proceeds of which were used to repay higher rate and/or
  recourse indebtedness.

The Company has lines of credit available for up to $154,220,000 which may
  be used to provide corporate liquidity, fund property acquisition costs
  and finance other corporate needs, subject to lenders' approvals.  They
  may also be utilized to pay some portion of existing debt, including
  maturities in 1995 and 1996.  As of June 30, 1995, debt due in one year
  was $119,673,000.  Approximately $71,765,000 of this debt relates to a
  retail center mortgage due in February 1996.  The Company expects to
  refinance this mortgage on a long-term basis at or prior to its scheduled
  maturity.  The Company continues to actively evaluate new sources of
  capital and is confident that it will be able to make these payments,
  arrange to refinance these maturities prior to their scheduled repayment
  dates, or take advantage of new sources of capital without necessitating
  property sales.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $53,477,000 and $49,435,000   
  for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  The
  factors discussed previously under the operating results of the four
  major business segments affected the level of net cash provided by
  operating activities.

Net cash used in investing activities was $16,709,000 and $128,914,000 for
  the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  The decrease
  in net cash used of $112,205,000 occurred because property acquisition
  expenditures were incurred in 1994 ($93,786,000) and because net sales
  and redemptions of marketable securities (primarily short-term U. S.
  Treasury securities) increased $18,975,000 in 1995.  The property
  acquisitions in 1994 consisted primarily of the purchase of land
  underlying a retail center together with the related equity interest of
  the former lessor.

Part I.  Financial Information, continued
Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and    
         Results of Operations, continued:

Net cash used in financing activities was $46,182,000 for the six months
  ended June 30, 1995 while net cash provided by financing activities was
  $65,419,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1994.  Net cash used in
  financing activities in 1995 is attributable primarily to scheduled
  principal payments on property debt and the payment of dividends.  Cash
  flows provided by financing activities in 1994 was attributable primarily
  to the issuance of property debt to fund the property acquisition
  described above partially offset by scheduled principal payments on
  property debt and the payment of dividends. 

New Accounting Standards:

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 116, "Accounting for the
  Contributions Received and Contributions Made" (SFAS No. 116), was issued
  by the Financial Accounting Standards Board in June 1993.  SFAS No. 116
  was adopted by the Company effective January 1, 1995, and adoption has
  not had a material effect on the financial position or results of
  operations of the Company.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the
  Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed
  of" (SFAS No. 121), was issued by the Financial Accounting Standards
  Board in March 1995.  SFAS No. 121 will be effective with respect to the
  Company in 1996, and adoption is not expected to have a material effect
  on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

Part II.  Other Information

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings


On November 6, 1990, Robert P. Guastella Equities, Inc. ("Plaintiff"), a
  former tenant at the Riverwalk Shopping Center in New Orleans, Louisiana
  ("Riverwalk"), which is owned and operated by New Orleans Riverwalk
  Associates, an affiliate of the Company ("NORA"), filed suit in the Civil
  District Court of Orleans Parish, Louisiana against NORA, the Company,
  two Company affiliates - Rouse-New Orleans, Inc. and New Orleans
  Riverwalk Limited Partnership - and Connecticut General Life Insurance
  Company, which is a general partner of NORA (collectively, "Defendants"). 
  Plaintiff alleges that Defendants breached Plaintiff's lease agreement
  with NORA for the operation of a restaurant at Riverwalk by (i) failing
  to prevent the leased premises from flooding, (ii) refusing to permit
  entertainment on the leased premises, (iii) interfering with the
  operation of air conditioning equipment on the leased premises and (iv)
  failing to provide adequate security.  Plaintiff claims that as a result
  of these breaches it suffered losses and could not pay the rentals due
  under the lease agreement, as a result of which the lease and its tenancy
  were terminated by NORA.  Plaintiff seeks damages of approximately
  $600,000 for these alleged breaches.  In addition, on September 3, 1992,
  Plaintiff claimed $33,000,000 for alleged lost future profits which it
  claimed it would have earned had its lease not been terminated.  All
  Defendants filed answers denying the claims of Plaintiff and asserting
  other defenses.  NORA also asserted a counterclaim against Plaintiff and
  its guarantors, Robert Guastella and Charles Kovacs, for past due rentals
  and other charges in the approximate amount of $300,000 plus interest and
  attorneys' fees as provided for in the lease agreement.  The case was
  tried before a jury and, on October 28, 1993, the jury returned a verdict
  against Defendants upon which judgment was entered by the trial court on
  January 7, 1994, in the total net amount of approximately $9,128,000 
  (which included a net award for lost future profits of approximately
  $8,640,000) plus interest from the date the suit was filed and attorneys'
  fees in an amount to be determined.  On May 6, 1994, the trial court
  denied all post-trial motions of both Plaintiff and Defendants, including
  Defendants' Motions for Judgment Notwithstanding the Verdict, Remittitur
  and/or New Trial.  The trial court also entered an amended judgment in
  which it awarded Plaintiff $450,000 in attorneys' fees and awarded
  Defendants $25,000 in attorneys' fees.  Defendants believe that the
  verdict and judgment as entered to date are contrary to the facts and
  applicable law.  On May 23, 1994, Defendants appealed this judgment to
  the Louisiana Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.  Briefs have been filed,
  and oral argument was held on March 8, 1995.  Defendants intend to
  vigorously pursue their rights of appeal.  For additional information
  about this suit, see Note 6 - Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial
  Statements (unaudited).
