                        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 March 31, 1995 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 March 31, 1995.  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,
1994 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 January 27, 1995, 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 first quarter of 1995 was $159
million, up $19 million from the $140 million earned in the first
quarter of 1994.  The increase resulted primarily from record
earnings at The Associates and USL Capital, 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 4
inclusive should be read as an integral part of this review.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:  FIRST QUARTER 1995 COMPARED WITH FIRST
QUARTER 1994

The Associates earned a record $152 million in the first quarter
of 1995, compared with $128 million a year ago.  The increase
reflected primarily higher levels of earning assets, offset
partially by lower net interest margins.  

USL Capital earned a record $26 million in the first quarter of
1995, compared with $21 million a year ago.  The increase
reflected higher levels of earning assets and cost improvements.

American Road earned $5 million in the first quarter of 1995,
compared with $17 million in the same period in 1994.  The
decrease reflected lower underwriting results in extended service
plan and floor plan products.  Results for the annuity business
have also decreased as a result of investment portfolio
restructuring.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's cash and investments in securities totaled $6.4
billion at March 31, 1995, up  $428 million from December 31,
1994.  

Net receivables and lease investments were $37.2 billion at March
31, 1995, up $1.3 billion from December 31, 1994.  The increase
reflected continued growth in earning assets, primarily at The
Associates.

Total debt was $35 billion at March 31, 1995, up $1.2 billion
from December 31, 1994.  The increase resulted primarily from
higher debt levels required to finance growth in earning assets
at The Associates.

The liability for annuity contracts was $2.9 billion at March 31,
1995, up $165 million from December 31, 1994.  

Insurance premiums written by American Road were $73 million in
the first quarter of 1995, compared with $74 million a year ago.

At March 31, 1995, the Company had approximately $10.6 billion of
contractually committed support facilities; less than 1% of these
facilities were in use at that date.


OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P., the Company's independent public

Accountants.  The review did not constitute an audit;

(a)  For purposes of computing the ratio of earnings to combined
     fixed charges and preferred stock dividends, "earnings"
     include earnings before income taxes plus adjusted fixed
     charges.  "Combined fixed charges and preferred stock
     dividends" consist of interest on borrowed funds,
     amortization of debt discount, premium and issuance expense,
     one-third of all rental expense (the portion deemed
     representative of the interest factor) and preferred stock
     dividend requirements.

(b)  Adjusted fixed charges exclude the amount of interest
     capitalized during the period and preferred stock dividend
     requirements.

(c)  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 Ford
     Holdings' effective income tax rates for the respective
     periods.
