Practice applicable to the Company's principal executive officers and senior
financial officers. Both the Code of Business Practice and the Code of Practice
are available without charge upon request. Requests should be addressed to
Corporate Secretary, HomeFed Corporation, 1903 Wright Place, Suite 220,

           Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

           Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the
Company's executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own
more than 10% of a registered class of the Company's equity securities, to file
reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Based solely upon a review of the copies of such forms furnished to
the Company and written representations from the Company's executive officers,
directors and greater than 10% beneficial shareholders, the Company believes
that during the year ended December 31, 2004, all persons subject to the
reporting requirements of Section 16(a) filed the required reports on a timely
basis, except that a Form 4 was inadvertantly not timely filed by Joseph S.
Steinberg to report the acquisition of beneficial ownership of Common Stock upon
the transfer of such shares from a trust for the benefit of Mr. Steinberg's
children of which he did not have beneficial ownership to another trust for the
benefit of Mr. Steinberg's children of which he does have beneficial ownership.
Mr. Steinberg subsequently filed a Form 4 to report the transaction.
