               HOMEFED CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

        NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.  The unaudited
    interim consolidated financial statements, which reflect all
    adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) that
    management believes necessary to present fairly 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
    audited consolidated financial statements for HomeFed
    Corporation ("HomeFed" or the "Company") for the year ended
    December 31, 1995, which are included in the Company's Annual
    Report on Form 10-K for such year (the "1995 10-K").  Results
    of operations for interim periods are not necessarily
    indicative of annual results of operations.  The consolidated
    balance sheet at December 31, 1995 was extracted from the
    Company's audited consolidated financial statements in the 1995
    10-K, and does not include all disclosures required by
    generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial
    statements.

2.  Chapter 11 Bankruptcy and Plan of Reorganization.  On July 3,
    1995, the Company emerged from Chapter 11 Bankruptcy protection
    pursuant to its court approved plan of reorganization (the
    "Plan").  The Plan was principally funded by a $20,000,000
    convertible note (the "Convertible Note") issued to Leucadia
    Financial Corporation ("LFC"), an indirect wholly-owned
    subsidiary of Leucadia National Corporation, and by LFC's
    purchase of 2,700,000 newly issued $.01 par value common shares
    ("Common Stock") of the Company for $810,000. 

    As part of the Plan, the Company settled pending litigation
    with the Resolution Trust Company (the "RTC") in its capacity
    as receiver and conservator of HomeFed Bank, F.S.B. ("HomeFed
    Bank"), a former subsidiary of the Company.  Under the RTC
    settlement, the Company paid the RTC $3,100,000 and the Company
    received a receivership certificate from the RTC which was
    redeemed by the RTC for $1,402,000.  In addition, the RTC
    settlement provides that the Company is entitled to receive
    $850,000 from any tax refunds received by the RTC relating to
    HomeFed Bank for years prior to 1992.  The Company has not
    recorded an asset related to such tax refunds and no assurance
    can be given that any such tax refunds will actually be
    received.

    Also under the Plan, general unsecured creditors, principally
    the holders of the Company's convertible subordinated
    debentures, received a pro rata share of (i) $16,900,000, (ii)
    the Company's rights to the RTC tax refund relating to HomeFed
    Bank and the $1,402,000 receivership certificate proceeds,
    (iii) 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock valued by the Bankruptcy

                                   6

    Court at $.30 per share, and (iv) an interest in the litigation
    trust described below. 

    The Plan also provided for the issuance of 5,800,000 new shares
    of Common Stock to the pre-effective date stockholders of the
    Company and the old shares of common stock (approximately
    21,484,000 shares) were canceled.  As a result of shares
    received as a general unsecured creditor and shares purchased
    as described above, LFC owns approximately 41.2% of the
    Company's Common Stock, without giving effect to the Common
    Stock that LFC may acquire in the future pursuant to the terms
    of the Convertible Note.

    The Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation contains
    certain transfer restrictions with respect to the Company's
    stock.  Generally, such provisions restrict a person's ability
    to accumulate 5% or more of the Company's Common Stock, as well
    as the ability of a 5% stockholder to acquire additional shares
    of Common Stock, in each case, after giving effect to numerous
    rules of attribution, aggregation and calculation. In addition,
    pursuant to the Plan, the Company is prohibited from issuing
    additional shares of stock until July 3, 1999.  The Company's
    Restated Certificate of Incorporation further prohibits the
    Company from issuing or redeeming any shares of stock as long
    as the Convertible Note is outstanding.  None of the foregoing
    restrictions will prevent LFC's exchange of the Convertible
    Note for Common Stock.

    Certain pending claims are being prosecuted by a litigation
    trust created for the benefit of the Company's creditors under
    the Plan.  Pursuant to the Plan, the Company loaned $250,000 to
    the trust in order to pay litigation costs.  The loan was
    repaid with interest in the third quarter of 1996.  The Company
    will not otherwise receive any benefits from the trust.

3.  Earnings Per Share.  Primary earnings (loss) per share of
    Common Stock for all periods presented was calculated by
    dividing net earnings (loss) by the 10,000,000 shares of Common
    Stock issued on July 3, 1995.  Primary earnings (loss) per
    share calculations based upon the pre-effective date
    outstanding shares are not meaningful.

    Fully diluted earnings (loss) per share of Common Stock was
    calculated as described above and, for the periods ended
    September 30, 1996, conversion of the Convertible Note was not
    assumed since the effect of such assumed conversion would have
    been to decrease loss per share.  Fully diluted earnings per
    share of Common Stock for the periods ended September 30, 1995
    assumes the Convertible Note had been converted into Common
    Stock and earnings increased to eliminate the related interest
    expense.  The number of shares used to calculate fully diluted
    earnings (loss) per share was 10,000,000 and 24,657,000 for the
    nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995,
    respectively, and 10,000,000 and 53,492,000 for the three month
    periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

                                7

4.  Related Party Transactions.  Notes payable consist primarily of
    the Convertible Note issued to LFC and a note issued to LFC as
    part of LFC's agreement to provide construction financing to
    the Company, as described below.  The Convertible Note bears
    interest at 12% per annum payable quarterly; however, interest
    is only paid if the Company has sufficient funds available, as
    determined pursuant to the provisions of the loan agreement. 
    Unpaid interest is added to the principal balance each quarter. 
    Interest accrued during the nine month period ended September
    30, 1996 of $1,968,000 was not paid and was added to the
    principal balance as of September 30, 1996.  

    The construction financing bears interest based on the prime
    rate, and any unpaid interest is added to the principal balance
    at the end of each month.  The interest rate at September 30,
    1996 was 9.50%.  Interest accrued during the nine month period
    ended September 30, 1996 on the construction financing totaled
    $381,000, of which $118,000 was paid to LFC and $263,000 was
    added to the principal balance during such period.  Payments of
    principal and interest on the loans are payable on demand, and
    if payments are not made upon demand, the applicable interest
    rate is increased by 3% per annum.  A payment equal to 110% of
    the construction cost of the property being released is
    required in order to release property from the construction
    financing lien.  As of September 30, 1996, the balance of the
    construction financing loan was $3,071,000.

    Pursuant to an Administrative Services Agreement dated March 1,
    1996 (the "Administrative Services Agreement"), LFC has agreed
    to provide administrative services to the Company for an annual
    fee of $141,000, payable in monthly installments, through March
    1, 1997.  After March 1, 1997, the Administrative Services
    Agreement provides that LFC and the Company will negotiate in
    good faith to determine the compensation to be paid to LFC
    under the Administrative Services Agreement for subsequent
    periods.  The Administrative Services Agreement will terminate
    on March 1, 1999; provided, however, that LFC may terminate the
    Administrative Services Agreement prior to March 1, 1999, upon
    30 days written notice, if the Company and LFC are unable to
    reach an agreement regarding the compensation to be paid to LFC
    for periods after March 1, 1997.  Administrative fees paid to
    LFC for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996 totaled
    $108,000. 

5.  Paradise Valley.  In June of 1996, the Company entered into an
    agreement to sell certain improved lots at the Paradise Valley
    Project to The Forecast Group, L.P.  In addition, the Company
    granted options to The Forecast Group, L.P. to purchase certain
    additional unimproved and partially improved lots from the
    Company.  The agreement and the options were subsequently
    terminated by the buyer.  On October 3, 1996, the Company
    entered into new agreements with The Forecast Group, L.P. 
    Under the new agreements, the Company agreed to sell a total of
    124 improved lots at the Paradise Valley Project to The
    Forecast Group, L.P. for a total purchase price of $5,316,000. 

                                 8

    The sale of 62 lots covered by the agreements closed on October
    31, 1996, and the Company received $2,670,000, less closing
    costs.  Subject to certain conditions, the sales of the
    remaining lots are expected to close on May 1, 1997 and
    September 1, 1997, pursuant to which the Company will receive
    $1,010,000 and $1,636,000, respectively, less closing costs. 
    The Company has also granted options to The Forecast Group,
    L.P. to purchase 156 additional lots for a total purchase price
    of $5,781,950.  The option with respect to 81 of these lots
    will become exercisable following the sale expected to close on
    May 1, 1997, and the option with respect to the remaining lots
    will become exercisable following the sale expected to close on
    September 1, 1997, each as described above.  The options expire
    on May 1, 1998.  The Company is currently evaluating the real
    estate market to determine the timing of development of the
    remaining sites in the project.  

6.  Provision for Losses on Real Estate Investments.  During the
    nine month period ended September 30, 1996, the Company
    recorded a loss of $1,017,000 due to its decision not to
    complete the home development on the four detached single-
    family residential sites at the Paradise Valley Project as
    originally planned.  The Company ceased building additional
    homes at these sites and it is in the process of selling off
    all remaining homes in inventory.  The Company accepted a cash
    offer for 124 unbuilt lots and granted options for the purchase
    of 156 unbuilt lots as mentioned in Note 5 above.

                                   9

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

    The purpose of this section is to discuss and analyze the
Company's consolidated financial condition, liquidity and capital
resources and results of operations.  This analysis should be read
in conjunction with the Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in the
Company's 1995 10-K.

General

    The Company is a holding company primarily engaged in the
investment in and development of residential real estate projects
in Northern California, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries
HomeFed Communities, Inc. and HomeFed Resources Corporation.  The
Company's subsidiaries enter into contracts with local builders and
developers to provide construction, marketing and management
services. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

    For the nine month period ended September 30, 1996, net cash
was provided by operating activities, principally from sales of
real estate.  For the nine month period ended September 30, 1995,
net cash was used by operating activities, principally for real
estate development projects and to pay reorganization expenses. 
The Company is a holding company whose principal source of funds is
dividends or borrowings from its subsidiaries.  As a result, the
Company is dependent upon the cash flow, if any, from the real
estate development projects of its subsidiaries in order to pay its
expenses.  The Company expects such cash flows will be sufficient
to cover overhead expenses and, pending receipt of funds from The
Forecast Group, L.P. ("The Forecast Group"), the Company expects cash 
flows will also be sufficient to permit debt service payments on the 
Convertible Note beginning in 1997.  As more fully described in the 1995
 10-K, no principal payments are due on the Convertible Note until July 1998
and accrued interest is only required to be paid under certain
conditions.  Any unpaid interest is added to the principal balance
of the note on a quarterly basis.

    LFC has agreed to provide up to an aggregate of $15,000,000 of
construction financing to certain of the Company's subsidiaries and
their affiliates while the Convertible Note is outstanding.  The
construction financing is collateralized by certain assets of the
Company's subsidiaries or their affiliates, including real estate
under development.  To facilitate the sale of property to home
buyers, LFC has agreed to release property from the construction
financing lien when it receives 110% of the assigned cost of
construction as a payment towards the outstanding loan.  The
construction financing bears interest based upon the prime rate,
and any unpaid interest is added to the principal balance at the
end of each month.  As of September 30, 1996, the outstanding
balance on this loan was approximately $3,071,000.  The Company
believes that the construction financing provided by LFC will be

                              10

adequate to complete its current development plans.  Any additional
financing required from a lender other than LFC cannot be
collateralized by any of the Company's assets without LFC's
consent.  Accordingly, the Company may be unable to obtain
additional financing from sources other than LFC.

  In June of 1996, the Company entered into an agreement to sell
certain improved lots at the Paradise Valley Project to The
Forecast Group.  In addition, the Company granted options to The Forecast 
Group to purchase certain additional unimproved and partially improved 
lots from the Company.  The agreement and the options were subsequently 
terminated by the buyer.  On October 3, 1996, the Company entered into new
agreements with The Forecast Group, pursuant to which the Company agreed to
sell a total of 124 improved lots at the Paradise Valley Project to
The Forecast Group for a total purchase price of $5,316,000.  The
sale of 62 lots covered by the agreements closed on October 31, 1996 and 
the Company received $2,670,000, less closing costs. Subject to certain 
conditions, the sales of the remaining lots are expected to close on May 
1, 1997 and September 1, 1997, pursuant to which the Company expects to 
receive $1,010,000 and $1,636,000, respectively, less closing costs.
The Company intends to use a portion of the proceeds from the foregoing sales 
to repay the outstanding balance of the construction financing provided by 
LFC.  The Company has also granted options to The Forecast Group to purchase
156 additional lots from the Company for a total purchase price of $5,781,950.
The option with respect to 81 of these lots will become exercisable following
the sale expected to close on May 1, 1997, and the option with respect to
the remaining lots will become exercisable following the sale expected to
close on September 1, 1997, each as described above.  The options expire on 
May 1, 1998.  It is uncertain whether the options will be exercised; however,
if such options are exercised, the Company expects to use the proceeds from
the sale of the lots covered by such options for future real estate 
development, debt service payments on the Convertible Note and for working
capital needs.

Results of Operations 

  Sales of residential properties decreased in the nine month
period ended September 30, 1996, compared to the same period in
1995, due to reduced sales of new and trade home inventory.  In the
three month period ended September 30, 1996, compared to the same
period in 1995, sales of residential properties increased because of a change
in the mix of homes sold.  The Company sold the same number of homes in each
of the three month periods; however, the Company sold only new homes in the
1996 period, whereas, in the 1995 period the Company sold both trade and 
new homes.  New homes generally have higher sales prices than trade homes.

  The decrease of cost of sales in the nine month period ended
September 30, 1996, compared to the same period in 1995, primarily
reflects the reduced level of sales.  The increase of cost of sales
in the three month period ended September 30, 1996 reflects the mix
of homes sold and the reallocation of construction costs resulting from
the Company's decision to sell all remaining unbuilt lots in
                               11

the four detached single-family residential sites at the Paradise
Valley Project.

  During the nine month period ended September 30, 1996, the
Company recorded a provision for losses on real estate investments
of $1,017,000 related to its decision not to complete the four
detached single-family residential sites at the Paradise Valley
Project as originally planned. 

  Interest expense on the Convertible Note to LFC was approximately
$680,000 and $1,968,000 for the three month and nine month periods
ended September 30, 1996, compared to $585,000 for the same periods
in 1995.  Interest expense on the construction financing loan
relating to substantially completed homes in inventory was $113,000
and $355,000 for the three month and nine month periods ended
September 30, 1996.  All interest was capitalized on the
construction financing loan for the same periods in 1995.

  In 1995, reorganization expenses primarily resulted from the settlement
of litigation with the RTC for a net amount of approximately $1,698,000.

  Income tax expense for all periods presented principally relates
to state franchise taxes.  The Company has not recorded  federal
income tax benefits for its operating losses due to the uncertainty
of sufficient future taxable income which is required in order to
record such tax benefits.

  In 1995, the extraordinary gain on debt discharged in bankruptcy resulted
from the Company's satisfaction of liabilities to creditors subject to
compromise of approximately $127,458,000, principally by the payment of 
$18,302,000 and the issuance of 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock.
