Effective January 1, 1994, Ford Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries
(the "Company") adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt
and Equity Securities".  Concurrent with the adoption, the
Company classified most of its investments in securities at June
30, 1994 as available-for-sale or trading, and adjusted the
recorded value to fair value; the effect on the Company's
financial statements was not material.  In addition, the
purchases and sales of trading securities were included in cash
flows from operating activities.  Financial statements for the
prior period were not restated.

                   REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Ford Holdings, Inc.


We have reviewed the consolidated balance sheet of Ford Holdings,
Inc. and Subsidiaries at June 30, 1994 and the related
consolidated statement of income and condensed consolidated
statement of cash flows for the periods set forth in Form 10-Q
for the quarter ended June 30, 1994.  These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company'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 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 at December
31, 1993 and the related consolidated statements of income,
stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended (not
presented herein); and in our report dated February 1, 1994, we
expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial
statements.

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

OVERVIEW

The Company's net income in the second quarter of 1994 was $135
million, up $26 million from the $109 million earned in the
second quarter of 1993.  The increase resulted primarily from
improved earnings at The Associates, USL Capital and Ford Land,
offset partially by lower earnings at American Road.

Consolidated results reflect the acquisition-related costs of
purchasing The Associates, including interest expense, goodwill,
and adjustments to record the fair value of net assets acquired. 
These adjustments will vary over time as the acquired assets and
liabilities liquidate.

The consolidated financial statements on pages 2 through 5
inclusive should be read as an integral part of this review.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:  SECOND QUARTER 1994 COMPARED WITH SECOND
QUARTER 1993

The Associates earned $121 million in the second quarter of 1994,
compared with $111 million a year ago.  The increase reflected
higher levels of earning assets and improved net interest
margins.  

USL Capital earned $27 million in the second quarter of 1994,
compared with $20 million a year ago. The improvement resulted
primarily from higher earning assets, lower operating costs and
improved net interest margins.

American Road earned $13 million in the second quarter of 1994,
compared with $16 million in the same period in 1993.  The
decrease resulted primarily from reduced investment income,
partially offset by improved extended service plan results and
higher income on annuity contracts.  Premiums written by American
Road were $85 million in the second quarter of 1994, compared
with $83 million a year ago.

Ford Land earned $7 million in the second quarter of 1994, up $7
million from the same period in 1993.  The improvement resulted
primarily from a gain on sale of real estate development
property.  


FIRST HALF 1994 COMPARED WITH FIRST HALF 1993

The Company's net income in the first half of 1994 was $275
million, up $48 million from the $227 million earned in the first
half of 1993.  The increase resulted primarily from improved earnings
at The Associates, USL Capital and Ford Land, offset by lower
earnings at American Road.

The Associates earned $249 million in the first half of 1994,
compared with $222 million a year ago.  The improvement reflected
primarily the same factors as those described in the discussion
of second quarter results of operations. 

USL Capital's net income in the first half of 1994 was $48
million, compared with $37 million a year ago.  The improvement
resulted primarily from higher earning assets and lower operating
costs.

American Road earned $30 million in the first half of 1994,
compared with $39 million a year ago.  The decrease resulted
primarily from reduced investment income, partially offset by
improved underwriting experience in extended service plan, floor
plan and dealer plan products.  Premiums written by American Road
were $159 million in the first half of 1994, compared with $145
million a year ago.

Ford Land earned $9 million in the first half of 1994, compared
with a loss of $2 million in the same period in 1993.  The
improvement resulted primarily from a gain on sale of real estate
development property.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the first half of 1994, the Company's cash and investments
in securities increased by $195 million to $5.3 billion.  Net
receivables and lease investments increased by $2 billion to
$32.9 billion, reflecting continued growth in earning assets at
The Associates.  Total debt increased by $1.7 billion to $31.3
billion, resulting from higher debt levels required to finance
growth in earning assets at The Associates.

At June 30, 1994, the Company had approximately $9.8 billion of
support facilities, all of which were contractually committed;
less than 2% of these facilities were in use at that date.

(a) For purposes of computing the ratio of earnings to combined
    fixed charges and preferred stock dividends, "earnings"
    represent income before income taxes plus fixed charges. 
    "Combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends"
    represent interest expense, amortization of debt expense and
    discount or premium relating to any indebtedness, a portion
    of rentals representative of an implicit interest factor for
    such rentals, and dividends paid on preferred stock.

(b) Preferred stock dividend requirements have been increased to
    an amount representing the pre-tax earnings which would be
    required to cover such dividend requirements based on the
    effective income tax rates for the respective periods.
