HOMEFED CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

1.   The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements,  which reflect all
     adjustments  (consisting  of  normal  recurring  items or  items  discussed
     herein)  that  management  believes  are  necessary  to present  fairly the
     results of interim operations, should be read in conjunction with the Notes
     to Consolidated  Financial Statements (including the Summary of Significant
     Accounting   Policies)  included  in  the  Company's  audited  consolidated
     financial  statements  for the year  ended  December  31,  2008,  which are
     included in the  Company's  Annual  Report filed on Form 10-K for such year
     (the "2008  10-K").  Results of  operations  for  interim  periods  are not
     necessarily  indicative of annual results of operations.  The  consolidated
     balance sheet at December 31, 2008 was derived from the  Company's  audited
     annual  consolidated   financial   statements  and  does  not  include  all
     disclosures  required by accounting  principles  generally  accepted in the
     United States of America for annual financial statements.

     As  of  January  1,  2009,  the  Company  adopted  Statement  of  Financial
     Accounting  Standards No. 160,  "Noncontrolling  Interests in  Consolidated
     Financial  Statements"  ("SFAS  160").  SFAS  160  materially  changes  the
     accounting and reporting for minority interests in the future, and requires
     retrospective  application of its presentation and disclosure  requirements
     for all periods  presented.  Minority  interests have been  reclassified as
     noncontrolling  interests and included as a component of  consolidated  net
     worth;  previously  minority  interests were  separately  classified on the
     consolidated  balance sheet and not included as a component of consolidated
     net worth. Included in consolidated equity are noncontrolling  interests of
     $14,200,000 as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

2.   Basic and diluted loss per share  amounts were  calculated  by dividing net
     loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  There is
     no difference  between basic and diluted loss per share amounts because the
     effect of  increasing  the  weighted  average  number of common  shares for
     incremental  shares  issuable  upon  exercise  of  outstanding  options  is
     antidilutive.  The numerators and denominators  used to calculate basic and
     diluted loss per share for the three month periods ended March 31, 2009 and
     2008 are as follows (in thousands):




                                                                                               2009            2008
                                                                                            ----------      ---------
                                                                                                           

     Numerator - net loss attributable to HomeFed Corporation common shareholders           $    (421)      $  (1,321)
                                                                                            =========       =========
     Denominator - weighted average shares                                                      7,880           8,274
                                                                                            =========       =========


     If the effect of stock  options  were not  antidilutive,  weighted  average
     shares  outstanding  would have  increased  by zero and 1,349 for the three
     month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

3.   Pursuant  to  the  administrative  services  agreement,  Leucadia  National
     Corporation  provides  administrative  and accounting  services,  including
     providing the services of the Company's Secretary.  Administrative  service
     fee expenses  were $45,000 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2009
     and 2008. The administrative  services agreement  automatically  renews for

     As of March 31,  2009,  the Company did not have any assets or  liabilities
     measured at fair value on a nonrecurring  basis. As more fully discussed in
     the 2008 10-K,  during the fourth  quarter of 2008 the Company  recorded an
     impairment  charge for certain  real  estate  assets at the San Elijo Hills
     Towncenter  which reduced the carrying amount of those assets to their fair
     value of $800,000 at December 31, 2008.

     The  Company  does not invest in any  derivatives  or engage in any hedging
     activities.

6.   During the first quarter of 2009,  the Company  purchased 478 shares of the
     Company's common stock in an open market transaction in accordance with the
     Company's repurchase plan. After considering this transaction,  the Company
     can repurchase up to 104,591 common shares without board approval.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the three month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, net cash was used for
operating activities,  principally for real estate expenditures at the San Elijo
Hills and Otay Ranch projects,  general and administrative  expenses and farming
operations at the Rampage property. The Company's principal sources of funds are
proceeds  from the sale of real  estate,  fee  income  from the San Elijo  Hills
project,  dividends and tax sharing payments from its  subsidiaries,  borrowings
from or repayment of advances by its  subsidiaries and cash and cash equivalents
and  investments.  As of March 31, 2009,  the Company had aggregate  cash,  cash
equivalents and  investments of $68,600,000 to meet its current  liquidity needs
and for future investment opportunities.

As of March 31, 2009,  the  aggregate  balance of deferred  revenue for all real
estate sales was $3,700,000,  which the Company  estimates will be substantially
recognized  as revenue  during 2009.  The Company  estimates  that it will spend
approximately $1,100,000 to complete the required improvements,  including costs
related to common areas. The Company will recognize revenues previously deferred
and  the  related  cost  of  sales  in  its  statements  of  operations  as  the
improvements  are  completed  under  the  percentage  of  completion  method  of
accounting.

As of March 31, 2009,  the  remaining  land at the San Elijo Hills project to be
developed and sold or leased consisted of the following:

              Single family lots to be developed and sold        441
              Multi-family units                                 171
              Square footage of commercial space              60,000

As more fully  discussed in the 2008 10-K,  residential  property  sales volume,
prices and new building starts have declined significantly in many U.S. markets,
including  California  and the greater San Diego region,  which have  negatively
affected  sales and  profits at the San Elijo  Hills  project.  The  slowdown in
residential  sales has been  exacerbated by the turmoil in the mortgage  lending
and credit markets, which has resulted in stricter lending standards and reduced
liquidity  for  prospective  home  buyers.  Sales of new homes and  re-sales  of
existing homes have declined substantially from the early years of the project's
development;  there have been no  residential  lot sales at the San Elijo  Hills
project since June 2006.

The Company has substantially completed development of its remaining residential
single family lots at the San Elijo Hills  project,  many of which are "premium"
lots which are  expected  to  command  premium  prices if, and when,  the market
recovers.  The  Company  is not  actively  soliciting  bids  for  its  remaining
inventory of single family lots and is unable to predict when local  residential
real estate  market  conditions  might  improve.  The Company  believes  that by
exercising  patience  and waiting for market  conditions  to improve it can best
maximize  shareholder  value  with  its  remaining  residential  lot  inventory.
However,  on an ongoing basis the Company evaluates the local real estate market
and  economic  conditions  in general,  and updates its  expectations  of future
market  conditions  as it  continues  to  assess  the best  time to  market  its
remaining residential lot inventory for sale.

Results of Operations

Real Estate Sales Activity

         San Elijo Hills Project:
         ------------------------

There were no sales that closed during the first quarter of 2009 and 2008.

As  discussed  in the 2008  10-K,  a portion of the  revenue  from sales of real
estate is deferred,  and is  recognized  as revenue upon the  completion  of the
required improvements to the property,  including costs related to common areas,
under the  percentage  of  completion  method of  accounting.  Revenues  include
amounts that were  previously  deferred of $2,000,000 and $900,000 for the three
month  periods  ended March 31, 2009 and 2008,  respectively.  Such amounts were
recognized upon the completion of certain required improvements.

                                       8




During the first  quarter of 2009,  the Company  reduced its  estimated  cost to
complete certain improvements at the San Elijo Hills project,  which resulted in
an acceleration of the recognition of previously  deferred revenue of $1,000,000
that would have otherwise been recognized  during the remaining periods of 2009.
For the period  ended March 31,  2009,  this change in estimate  reduced the net
loss by $600,000 and reduced the net loss attributable to common shareholders by
$400,000.

During the three month periods  ended March 31, 2009 and 2008,  cost of sales of
real estate  aggregated  $300,000 and $200,000,  respectively.  Cost of sales is
recognized in the same proportion to the amount of revenue  recognized under the
percentage of completion method of accounting, subject to changes in estimate as
discussed above.

         Otay Ranch Project:
         -------------------

There was no real estate  sales  activity at the Otay Ranch  project  during the
first  quarter of 2009 and 2008.  As  discussed  in the 2008 10-K,  the  Company
continues  to  evaluate  how to  maximize  the  value of this  investment  while
pursuing  land sales and  processing  further  entitlements  on  portions of its
property.  The Otay Ranch  Project is in the early stages of  development;  as a
result, the Company does not expect any sales activity in the near future.

Other Results of Operations Activity

The Company recorded co-op marketing and advertising fees of $40,000 and $30,000
for the three month  periods  ended March 31, 2009 and 2008,  respectively.  The
Company records these fees when the San Elijo Hills project builders sell homes,
and are generally  based upon a fixed  percentage of the homes'  selling  price.
These fees provide the Company with funds to conduct its marketing activities.

Interest  expense is capitalized  for the notes payable to trust deed holders on
the San Elijo Hills  project,  which totaled  $4,000 and $10,000 for the periods
ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

General and  administrative  expenses  decreased in 2009 as compared to the same
period in 2008,  primarily  due to the  settlement  of a lawsuit  related to the
Rampage  property in the first  quarter of 2008 for  $1,100,000.  The decline in
general  and  administrative  expenses in 2009 also  reflects  $400,000 of lower
compensation  expense due to workforce  reductions and lower  estimated  general
bonus expense;  $300,000 of lower marketing expenses because the Company reduced
advertisements due to the limited number of new homes available at the San Elijo
Hills project; and $200,000 of less professional fees.

The  change  in  interest  and other  income  (expense)  for the 2009  period as
compared to the same  period in 2008  primarily  reflects a $700,000  decline in
interest  income  due to lower  interest  rates and a lower  amount of  invested
assets reflecting cash used for operating and financing  activities during 2008.
Other  income also  reflects an increase in farming  expenses of $900,000 at the
Rampage property resulting from an increase in acres being farmed from 500 acres
to 1,400 acres.  The additional  acres being farmed were previously  leased to a
third-party.

The  Company's  effective  income tax rate is higher than the federal  statutory
rate due to California state income taxes.
