The HomeFed Corporation, the ailing San Diego-based savings and loan company, said today that it expected to set aside a large amount of money in the third quarter to cover mounting real estate and loan losses. The announcement added support to analysts' contentions that the institution was beyond repair and would eventually be seized by the Government. HomeFed, which operates HomeFed Bank branches throughout California, did not specify the amount to be set aside, but it said the move would be drastic enough to wipe out its capital base -- the institution's buffer against losses.

Cray Research Inc. said it had signed a letter of intent to buy the business and all other assets except for land, buildings and accounts receivable of Floating Point Systems Inc. for $3.25 million.

It grew rapidly in the 1970's and early 80's by selling add-on boxes that enabled general-purpose computers to perform like Cray's supercomputers. But Floating Point stumbled in the late 1980's when other companies introduced computers that offered roughly one-fourth the speed of a Cray at one-tenth the price.
