NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands)

Todd Shipyards Corporation (the "Company") has filed its
Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended April
3, 1994 with the Securities and Exchange Commission as part of
its Annual Report on Form 10-K. That report should be read in
connection with this Form 10-Q.

1.  STATEMENTS NOT AUDITED
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited
but in the opinion of management reflect all adjustments
necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and
results of operations.  Certain amounts in the fiscal 1994
financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the
fiscal 1995 presentation.

2.  CHANGE IN CONTRACT ACCOUNTING METHOD
Effective the beginning of the quarter ended July 3, 1994 the
company changed its method of accounting for general and
administrative costs from recognizing these expenses as contract
costs to recognizing them as incurred which reflects the change,
over time, in the Company's business from predominately longer
term Department of Defense to predominately shorter term
commercial contracts.  This change has been applied to general
and administrative costs of prior years and results in a
cumulative effect adjustment of $438, which is included in income
of the first quarter of fiscal year 1995.  The effect of the
change was to decrease income before the cumulative effect of the
accounting change for the quarter ended July 3, 1994 by $994
($.09 per share) and net income by $556 ($.05 per share).  There
was no income tax effect as a result of the change.

The proforma amounts reflect the effect of the retroactive
application of reflecting general and administrative costs as
incurred had the new method been in effect.


3.  CONTRACTS IN PROGRESS
Navy Repair Contract - In March 1994, the Company entered into a
contract to perform repair work on a Navy carrier (the "Carrier
Project") at the Bremerton Naval Base.  Work began in March 1994
and is expected to be complete in September 1994.  During the
quarter ended July 3, 1994 the Company recognized $758 in
estimated program losses due primarily to production
difficulties.

4.  INCOME TAXES
During the quarter ended July 3, 1994 the Company's income tax
expense was offset by a reduction in the deferred tax valuation
reserve.



5.  ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
The Company faces significant potential liabilities in connection
with the alleged presence of hazardous waste materials at certain
of its closed shipyards, at its Seattle Shipyard and at several
sites used by the Company for disposal of alleged hazardous
waste. The Company continues to analyze environmental matters and
associated liabilities for which it may be responsible. No
assurance can be given as to the existence or extent of any
significant environmental liabilities until such analysis is
complete. The Company has provided aggregate reserves of $6,500
for contingent environmental remediation liabilities for the
sites that have progressed to the degree that it is possible to
estimate remediation costs.  The actual costs will depend upon
numerous factors, including the number of parties found liable at
each environmental site, the method of remediation, outcome of
negotiations with regulatory authorities, outcome of litigation,
technological developments and changes in environmental laws and
regulations.  The Company is negotiating with its insurance
carriers and certain prior landowners and operators for past and
future remediation costs.  The Company has not included any
insurance recovery in determining its remediation provision.  No
assurance can be given that the $6,500 reserve is adequate to
cover all potential remediation costs the Company could incur.
The Company's involvement in each of these sites is detailed in
its previously filed Form 10-K.

6.  OTHER CONTINGENCIES
The Company is subject to various risks and is involved in
various claims and legal proceedings arising out of the ordinary
course of its business. These include complex matters of contract
performance specifications, environmental protection and
Government procurement regulations.  Only a portion of these
risks and legal proceedings involving the Company are covered by
insurance.

7.  SHARE REPURCHASE
Beginning in fiscal year 1994, the Company has from time to time
re-acquired shares of the Company's stock in a number of open
market transactions.  As of August 1, 1994, the Company had
repurchased 1,008,885 shares of the Company's common stock for a
total cost of $4,194 bringing total treasury shares to 1,156,543.
The Company is funding these purchases out of working capital.

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

The Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements are an integral
part of Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations and should be read in
conjunction herewith.


OPERATING RESULTS
All comparisons within the following discussion are with the
corresponding periods in the previous year, unless otherwise
stated.

Revenue - Revenue in the first quarter of 1995 was even with
1994.   Increases in government repair activities were largely
offset by declines in commercial work.   Government revenue
increased due to repair work performed on the Carrier Project
(see note 3).  Commercial revenue decreased as prior year amounts
included performance on contract to convert two vessels to an
open-cargo configuration (the "Conversion Contract").  Management
expects government and commercial revenue to decrease
substantially in the second quarter.  Revenue for the third and
fourth quarters is expected to benefit from scheduled government
phased maintenance activities and an upturn in commercial repair
work.

First quarter revenues:

                   FY    % of      FY   % of         Change
Contract Source   1995  Revenue   1994 Revenue   Amount Percent
Government       $ 7.4    51%    $ 3.1   22%     $ 4.3   139%
Commercial         7.1    49%     11.2   78%      (4.1)  (37%)
Total revenue    $14.5   100%    $14.3  100%     $  .2     1%


Operating expenses - Direct costs during the first quarter were
76% of revenue reflecting the difficulties experienced on the
Carrier Project.  Prior year first quarter direct costs were 94%
of revenue because of production difficulties experienced on the
Conversion Contract.

Operating expenses for the first quarter of 1995 were reduced by
a $.4 million net change in contract loss reserves.  This change
reflects $1.2 million in loss reserve utilization offset by the
establishment of $.8 million in loss provisions on the Carrier
Project.  Prior year operating expenses were reduced by $2.4
million reflecting $5.9 million loss reserve utilization on the
Conversion Contract offset by $3.5 million in increased loss
provisions on an overhaul contract.

Investment and other income - Investment and other income
decreased by $1.5 million due primarily to receipt of a $1.8
million insurance settlement in fiscal year 1994.  This decrease
was partially offset by a $.2 million Galveston revenue bond
interest payment received during the quarter.

Income taxes - The Company recognized no income tax expense in
the first quarter of fiscal year 1995 as the expense was offset
by a reduction in the deferred tax valuation reserve.  The prior
year benefit reflects overpayment of fiscal year 1993 income
taxes.


FINANCIAL CONDITION
Working capital - Working capital decreased in the first quarter
of 1995 by $2.3 million to $50.0 million.  The decrease is
attributable to losses recognized on the Carrier Project.
Working capital includes restricted and unrestricted cash, cash
equivalents and marketable securities of $54.4 million.

Unbilled receivables - Unbilled items on completed contracts
totaled $2.1 million at the end of the first quarter of 1995.
This compares with $.9 million at the beginning of the period.
Unbilled balances are included in accounts receivable.

Restricted Cash - The Company's restricted cash balance was
relatively unchanged compared to the beginning of the quarter.
The restricted cash balance consists of escrow accounts
established to secure contract performance, contract warranty
provisions and property lease payments.

Capital Resources
Based on its current projections for fiscal year 1995, the
Company believes that its present amount of cash and cash
equivalents will be sufficient for the Company's working capital
needs.  A change in the composition or timing of projected work
could cause capital expenditures and repair and maintenance
expenditures to increase.  The future business plans of the
Seattle Shipyard are not expected to require substantial
additional capital expenditures.  Capital expenditures are
expected to be financed out of working capital.

FUTURE OPERATIONS
The Company's future profitability depends largely on the ability
of the Seattle Shipyard to maintain an adequate volume of ship
repair, overhaul, conversion and new construction business.  The
Company competes with other northwest shipyards, some of whom
have more advantageous cost structures.  The Company's
competitors include non-union shipyards and shipyards with excess
capacity.

At July 3, 1994, the Company's work backlog consists of
approximately $27 million of government repair/overhaul work, all
of which is expected to be completed in fiscal year 1995.

During the Company's 1995 fiscal year, the Washington State Ferry
System is expected to award two major contracts for construction
of three new ferries and for overhaul of three existing ferries.
The Navy's Everett home port officially commenced operations in
April 1994.  Relocation of a number of Navy ships to the Everett
home port is scheduled to take place during the upcoming year.
The Company believes that it may be awarded contracts for
shipyard related work from the Navy and the Washington State
Ferry System.  However, no assurance can be given that the
company will be successful in obtaining this work.

with  long term contracts.  Under the old method, the Company included
general  and  administrative costs as contract costs.  Under  the  new
method,  adopted in the first quarter of fiscal year 1995, the Company
records  general  and  administrative costs  as  incurred.   You  have
advised  us that you believe the change is to a preferable  method  in
your   circumstances  based  on  the  Company's  change  in   business
conditions and emphasis.  Historically, the majority of the  Company's
revenue  has  come from contracts with the Department of  Defense  and
other  shipbuilding  and  major  overhaul  projects.   Currently,  the
majority of the Company's business is from commercial enterprises  and
projects  of shorter duration.  Such a change in emphasis and  mix  is
not  expected  to  reverse.  Although the Company's business  mix  has
changed,  the  Company continues to bid on Department of  Defense  and
shipbuilding projects.

There  are  no  specific  authoritative  criteria  for  determining  a
"preferable"  method of accounting for the general and  administrative
costs  associated  with long term contracts based  on  the  particular
circumstances; however, we conclude that the change in the  method  of
accounting for general and administrative costs associated  with  long
term contracts is to an acceptable alternative method which, based  on
your  business  judgment to make this change  for  the  reasons  cited
above, is preferable in your circumstances.  We have not conducted  an
audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards of  any
financial  statements of the Company as of any date or for any  period
subsequent  to  April 3, 1994, and therefore we  do  not  express  any
opinion  on  any  financial statements of Todd  Shipyards  Corporation
subsequent to that date.

                              Very truly yours,
