Exhibit 99.05

           UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


         The Merger Agreement provides that each share of Salomon Inc.
("Salomon") common stock will be exchanged for 1.695 shares of Travelers Group
Inc. ("Travelers") common stock. The exchange ratio and all per share amounts
contained in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and
the notes thereto reflect the three-for-two stock split declared by Travelers on
October 22, 1997 and payable on November 19, 1997 to other stockholders of
record on November 3, 1997. The merger, which is expected to be completed in the
fourth quarter of 1997, is expected to be accounted for under the pooling of
interests method and, accordingly, Travelers' historical consolidated financial
statements presented in future reports will be restated to include the accounts
and results of Salomon. The merger is subject to customary closing conditions,
including regulatory and Salomon stockholder approval.

         The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of
financial condition combines the historical consolidated statement of financial
condition of Travelers and the historical consolidated statement of financial
condition of Salomon giving effect to the merger as though it had been
consummated on June 30, 1997. The following unaudited pro forma condensed
combined statements of income combine the historical statements of income of
Travelers and Salomon giving effect to the merger as if it had occurred on
January 1, 1994. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income
for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and for the year ended December 31, 1996
also give effect to the acquisition in April 1996 of the domestic property and
casualty operations of Aetna Life and Casualty Company (the "Aetna P&C"
operations) and transactions related to the funding of the acquisition, as if
they had occurred on January 1, 1996. This information should be read in
conjunction with the accompanying notes hereto; the separate historical
financial statements of Travelers as of June 30, 1997 and for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, and for each of the three years ended December 31,
1996 which are contained in Travelers' Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
quarterly period ended June 30, 1997 and its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, respectively; and the separate historical
financial statements of Salomon as of June 30, 1997 and for the six months ended
June 30, 1997 and 1996, and for each of the three years ended December 31, 1996
which are contained in Salomon's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly
period ended June 30, 1997 and its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 1996, respectively. In addition, the information related
to the pro forma condensed combined statements of income for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 and for the year ended December 31, 1996 should be read in
conjunction with the historical financial statements of the Aetna P&C operations
for the period ended March 31, 1996 contained in Travelers' Current Report on
Form 8-K dated June 7, 1996.

         The pro forma financial data is not necessarily indicative of the
results of operations that would have occurred had the merger been consummated
or of future operations of the combined company.

      NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.       DESCRIPTION OF TRANSACTIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The Merger Agreement provides that each share of Salomon Inc.
("Salomon") common stock will be exchanged for 1.695 shares of Travelers Group
Inc. ("Travelers") common stock. The exchange ratio and all per share amounts
contained in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and
the notes thereto reflect the three-for-two stock split declared by Travelers on
October 22, 1997 and payable on November 19, 1997 to all stockholders of
record on November 3, 1997. The merger, which is expected to be completed in the
fourth quarter of 1997, is expected to be accounted for under the pooling of
interests method and, accordingly, Travelers' historical consolidated financial
statements presented in future reports will be restated to include the accounts
and results of Salomon. The merger is subject to customary closing conditions,
including regulatory and Salomon stockholder approval.

         The pro forma effect of the acquisition of the Aetna P&C operations is
reflected in the pro forma condensed combined statements of income for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 and for the year ended December 31, 1996 as if the
acquisition had occurred on January 1, 1996. This acquisition has been accounted
for as a purchase. Note that actual results for the Aetna P&C operations are
included in Travelers' historical amounts from the date of acquisition on April
2, 1996.

2.       ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         Travelers and Salomon are in the process of reviewing their accounting
policies and, as a result of this review, it may be necessary to restate either
Travelers' or Salomon's financial statements to conform to those accounting
policies that are determined to be most appropriate. No such restatements have
been made to the pro forma combined financial statements.

3.       INTERCOMPANY TRANSACTIONS

         Transactions between Travelers and Salomon are not material in relation
to the pro forma combined financial statements and therefore intercompany
balances have not been eliminated from the pro forma combined amounts.

4.       PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS -- SALOMON

         The pro forma adjustments to common stock, additional paid-in capital,
retained earnings and treasury stock at June 30, 1997 reflect (1) the retirement
of shares of Salomon common stock held in treasury pursuant to the Merger
Agreement, (2) adjustments to account for 105 million shares of Travelers common
stock held in treasury to be issued in the transaction as though retired, in
accordance with APB No. 16, (3) the issuance of 182.1 million shares of
Travelers common stock to effect the Merger, and (4) the after-tax effect on
retained earnings of an estimated charge for restructuring (see note 7). The
number of shares to be issued at consummation of the Merger will be based on the
actual number of shares of Salomon Common Stock outstanding at that time.

5.       PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS -- AETNA P&C

         The following pro forma adjustments related to the acquisition of the
Aetna P&C operations are reflected in the pro forma condensed combined
statements of income for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and for the year
ended December 31, 1996. Such adjustments relate only to the quarter ended March
31, 1996 which represents the portion of the year that Travelers did not own the
Aetna P&C operations (in millions):

periods presented is based on the combined weighted average number of common
shares and share equivalents of Travelers and Salomon. The number of common
shares and common share equivalents of Salomon is based on an exchange ratio of
1.695 shares of Travelers common stock for each issued and outstanding share and
share equivalent of Salomon. The pro forma combined primary earnings per share

7.       RESTRUCTURING CHARGE

         The pro forma condensed combined statements of income do not reflect a
planned Merger-related restructuring charge of between $400 million and $500
million (after-tax) primarily for severance and costs related to excess or
unused office space and other facilities since such restructuring charge is
non-recurring. Although there can be no assurance that the restructuring charge
will fall within the range provided, this range represents management's best
estimate based on the currently available information.

8.       FUTURE COST SAVINGS

         As Salomon's operations are integrated with the existing operations of
Travelers, management expects to achieve, by the end of a three-year period,
annual cost savings in excess of $200 million (after-tax) from the reduction of
overhead expenses, changes in corporate infrastructure and the elimination of
redundant expenses. There can be no assurance that these projected cost savings
will be achieved. These expected future cost savings are not reflected in the
pro forma financial data.

         The statements contained in notes 7 and 8 above may be deemed to be
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by the words "believe,"
"expect," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate" and similar expressions. These
forward-looking statements are based largely on management's expectations and
are subject to a number of uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially
from these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors,
including (1) determination of the number, job classification and location of
employee positions to be eliminated, (2) compatibility of the operating systems
of the combining companies, (3) the degree to which existing administrative and
back-office functions and costs are complementary or redundant, and (4) the
timing of implementation of changes in operations to effect cost savings.
Travelers undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any
forward-looking statements.

           UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On September 24, 1997, Travelers Group Inc. ("Travelers Group") announced that
it had agreed to acquire Salomon Inc ("Salomon") through a merger of Salomon
with a wholly owned subsidiary of Travelers Group. The merger, which is expected
to be completed in the fourth quarter of 1997, is expected to be accounted for
under the pooling of interests method. In connection with the proposed
transaction, Salomon will be merged with Smith Barney Holdings Inc. ("Smith
Barney"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Travelers Group. The assets and
liabilities of both companies will be combined at historical cost. Historical
consolidated financial statements presented in future reports will be restated
to include the accounts and results of Salomon. The merger is subject to
customary closing conditions, including regulatory and Salomon stockholder
approval.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of financial
condition combines the historical consolidated statement of financial condition
of Smith Barney and the historical consolidated statement of financial condition
of Salomon giving effect to the merger as though the transaction had been
consummated on June 30, 1997. The following unaudited pro forma condensed
combined statements of operations combine the historical statements of
operations of Smith Barney and Salomon giving effect to the merger as if it had
occurred on January 1, 1994. This information should be read in conjunction with
the accompanying notes hereto; the separate historical financial statements of
Smith Barney as of June 30, 1997 and for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and
1996, and for each of the three years ended December 31, 1996 which are
contained in Smith Barney's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly
period ended June 30, 1997 and its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 1996, respectively; and the separate historical
financial statements of Salomon as of June 30, 1997 and for the six months ended
June 30, 1997 and 1996, and for each of the three years ended December 31, 1996
which are contained in Salomon's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly
period ended June 30, 1997 and its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 1996, respectively.

The pro forma financial data is not necessarily indicative of the results of
operations that would have occurred had the merger been consummated or of future
operations of the combined company.

      NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   Description of Transaction and Basis of Presentation

         On September 24, 1997, Travelers Group Inc. ("Travelers Group")
         announced that it had agreed to acquire Salomon Inc ("Salomon")
         through a merger of Salomon with a wholly owned subsidiary of Travelers
         Group. The merger, which is expected to be completed in the fourth
         quarter of 1997, is expected to be accounted for under the pooling of
         interests method. In connection with the proposed transaction, Salomon
         will be merged with Smith Barney Holdings Inc. ("Smith Barney"), a
         wholly owned subsidiary of Travelers Group. The assets and liabilities
         of both companies will be combined at historical cost. Historical
         consolidated financial statements presented in future reports will be
         restated to include the accounts and results of Salomon. The merger is
         subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory and
         Salomon stockholder approval.

2.   Accounting Policies

         Smith Barney and Salomon are in the process of reviewing their
         accounting policies and, as a result of this review, it may be
         necessary to restate either Smith Barney's or Salomon's financial
         statements to conform to those accounting policies that are determined
         to be most appropriate. No such restatements have been made to the pro
         forma combined financial statements.

3.   Intercompany Transactions

         Transactions between Smith Barney and Salomon are not material in
         relation to the pro forma combined financial statements and therefore
         intercompany balances have not been eliminated from the pro forma
         combined amounts.

4.   Pro Forma Adjustments

         The pro forma adjustments at June 30, 1997 reflect (1) the cancellation
         and retirement of all Salomon common stock held in treasury pursuant to
         the Merger Agreement, (2) the conversion of Salomon redeemable
         preferred stock and preferred stock into redeemable preferred stock and
         preferred stock of Travelers Group with substantially identical terms,
         and (3) the after-tax effect on retained earnings of an estimated
         charge for restructuring (see note 5).

5.   Restructuring Charge

         The pro forma condensed combined statements of operations do not
         reflect a planned merger-related restructuring charge of between $400
         million and $500 million (after-tax) primarily for severance and costs
         related to excess or unused office space and other facilities since
         such restructuring charge is non-recurring. Although there can be no
         assurance that the restructuring charge will fall within the range
         provided, this range represents management's best estimate based on the
         currently available information.

6.   Future Cost Savings

         As Salomon's operations are integrated with the existing operations of
         Smith Barney, management expects to achieve, by the end of a three-year
         period, annual cost savings in excess of $200 million (after-tax) from
         the reduction of overhead expenses, changes in corporate infrastructure
         and the elimination of redundant expenses. There can be no assurance
         that these projected cost savings will be achieved. These expected
         future cost savings are not reflected in the pro forma financial data.


The statements contained in notes 5 and 6 above may be deemed to be
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by
the words "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate" and similar
expressions. These forward-looking statements are based largely on management's
expectations and are subject to a number of uncertainties. Actual results could
differ materially from these forward-looking statements as a result of a number
of factors, including (1) determination of the number, job classification and
location of employee positions to be eliminated, (2) compatibility of the
operating systems of the combining companies, (3) the degree to which existing
administrative and back-office functions and costs are complementary or
redundant, and (4) the timing of implementation of changes in operations to
effect cost savings. Smith Barney undertakes no obligation to update publicly or
revise any forward-looking statements.
