           Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

          1. Basis of Presentation
             ---------------------

             Commercial Credit Company (the Company) is a wholly owned
             subsidiary of CCC Holdings, Inc. which is a wholly owned
             subsidiary of The Travelers Inc. (the Parent).  The condensed
             consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
             Company and its subsidiaries.

             The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements
             as of September 30, 1994 and for the three and nine month
             periods ended September 30, 1994 and 1993 are unaudited.  In
             the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of
             normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair
             presentation have been reflected.  The accompanying condensed
             consolidated financial statements should be read in
             conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
             related notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
             10-K for the year ended December 31, 1993.

             Certain financial information that is normally included in
             annual financial statements prepared in accordance with 
             generally accepted accounting principles but is not required 
             for interim reporting purposes has been condensed or omitted.  

             FAS 115.  Effective January 1, 1994, the Company adopted
             Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 (FAS
             115), "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
             Securities," which addresses accounting and reporting for
             investments in equity securities that have a readily
             determinable fair value and for all debt securities.  Debt
             securities that the Company has the positive intent and
             ability to hold to maturity have been classified as "held to
             maturity" and have been reported at amortized cost. 
             Investment securities that are not classified as "held to
             maturity" have been classified as "available for sale" and
             are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses,
             net of income taxes, charged or credited directly to
             stockholder's equity.  Initial adoption of this standard
             resulted in a net increase of $80.8 (net of taxes) to net
             unrealized gains on investment securities in stockholder's
             equity.

          3.   Debt
               ----

               The Company issues commercial paper directly to investors
               and maintains unused credit availability under its bank
               lines of credit at least equal to the amount of its
               outstanding commercial paper.  At September 30, 1994 and
               December 31, 1993, short-term borrowings consisted of
               commercial paper totaling $2,491.3 and $2,206.1,
               respectively.  The Company may borrow under its revolving
               credit facility at various interest rate options and
               compensates the banks for the facilities through commitment
               fees.  During the third quarter of 1994 the Parent, the
               Company and The Travelers Insurance Company (TIC) entered
               into an agreement with a syndicate of banks to provide
               $1,500 of revolving credit, to be allocated to any of the
               Parent, the Company or TIC.  The participation of TIC in
               this agreement is limited to $300.  The revolving credit
               facility consists of a 364-day revolving credit facility in
               the amount of $300 and a 5-year revolving credit facility in
               the amount of $1,200.  At September 30, 1994, $650 was
               allocated to the Company and $200 was allocated to TIC.

               At September 30, 1994, the Company had committed and
               available revolving credit facilities of $3,010, of which
               $990 expires in 1995, $1,500 expires in 1997 and $520
               expires in 1999.

               On December 31, 1993, the Parent acquired the approximately
               73% it did not already own of The Travelers Corporation (old
               Travelers), by means of a merger of old Travelers into the
               Parent.  As a result of the merger, the Company's investment
               in the common stock of old Travelers, which through that
               date had been carried on the equity basis of accounting, was
               exchanged for 7.2 million shares of common stock of the
               Parent at a ratio of 0.80423 of a share of the Parent common
               stock for each share of old Travelers common stock.  At
               December 31, 1993, the investment was reflected at a
               carrying amount of $211.3.  During 1994, all of the
               Company's shares of the Parent's common stock were exchanged
               for 2,655 shares of Convertible Adjustable Rate Series Y
               Preferred Stock of the Parent, with a liquidation value of
               $100,000 per share, which is redeemable at the option of the
               holder at certain times and callable by the Parent at
               certain times.  The preferred stock had a value equal to the
               market value of the common shares at the time the exchange
               was agreed upon.  Subsequently 550 shares of preferred stock
               were distributed to the Parent as a dividend.  At September
               30, 1994, this investment is reflected at a carrying amount
               of $210.5.

               To facilitate cash management the Company has entered into
               an agreement with the Parent under which the Company or the
               Parent may borrow from the other party at any time an amount
               up to the greater of $50.0 or 1% of the Company's
               consolidated assets.  The agreement may be terminated by
               either party at any time.  The interest rate to be charged
               on borrowings outstanding will be equivalent to an
               appropriate market rate.

          Results of Operations

          Commercial Credit Company's (the Company) earnings for the nine
          months ended September 30, 1994 include approximately $5.2 million
          of dividend income from the equity securities of The Travelers Inc.
          (Parent) that were exchanged for the Company's investment in The
          Travelers Corporation (old Travelers).  Earnings for the nine months
          ended September 30, 1993 include $21.8 million of equity in the income
          of old Travelers and reported after-tax net investment portfolio
          gains of $7.6 million at Gulf Insurance Company (Gulf) and $22.7
          million in the Consumer Finance Segment.  Also included in
          earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 1993, is an
          after-tax charge of $3.4 million resulting from the adoption of
          Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 112 (FAS 112),
          "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits," and an
          after-tax charge of $2.4 million resulting from the adoption of
          Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106 (FAS 106),
          "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than
          Pensions."  Excluding these items, earnings for the nine months
          ended September 30, 1994 decreased by $7.5 million from  the 1993
          period, reflecting primarily higher net interest costs in the
          Corporate segment, offset in part by higher earnings in the
          Consumer Finance and Insurance segments.

          The following discussion presents in more detail each segment's
          performance.

</TABLE>

          *  Net income for 1993 includes $22.7 of reported investment
          portfolio gains.

          The increase in Consumer Finance net income in the third quarter
          of 1994 over the same period last year (excluding investment
          portfolio gains) reflects continued growth in receivables
          outstanding to $6.756 billion (before allowance for losses and
          accrued interest receivable) at the end of the period.  This
          represents a 12% increase over September 30, 1993 and was
          marked particularly by growth in personal loans.

          Charge-offs remained at low levels for the 1994 period -- 1.91%
          versus 2.25% in the prior year quarter -- while the 60+ day
          delinquencies remained at historically low levels of 1.90% versus
          2.21%.  The average yield on the portfolio declined to 15.49%
          from 15.91%, although net margins rose to 8.86%.  The former
          primarily reflects a shift in product mix toward more variable
          rate loans, which have lower yields, with higher margins
          reflecting lower funding costs.

          Operating earnings for the 1994 period for Gulf remained about
          even with the prior year period, and continue to reflect emphasis
          on the higher margin specialty businesses, particularly financial
          services.  Gulf's combined ratio was 98.3% for the nine months
          ended September 30, 1994 versus 95.2% in the comparable period
          last year.

          The decline in Corporate and Other net income for 1994 is
          primarily attributable to increases in other interest costs to
          the extent borne at the corporate level.

          Liquidity and Capital Resources

          The Company issues commercial paper directly to investors and
          maintains unused credit availability under committed revolving
          credit agreements at least equal to the amount of commercial
          paper outstanding.  As of September 30, 1994, the Company had
          unused credit availability of $3.01 billion.  The Company may
          borrow under its revolving credit facilities at various interest
          rate options and compensates the banks for the facilities through
          commitment fees.

          During the third quarter of 1994 the Parent, the Company and The
          Travelers Insurance Company (TIC) entered into an agreement with
          a syndicate of banks to provide $1.5 billion of revolving credit,
          to be allocated to any of the Parent, the Company or TIC.  The
          participation of TIC in this agreement is limited to $300
          million.  The revolving credit facility consists of a 364-day
          revolving credit facility in the amount of $300 million and a
          5-year revolving credit facility in the amount of $1.2 billion. 
          At September 30, 1994, $650 million was allocated to the Company
          and $200 million was allocated to TIC.

          During 1994, the Company completed the following debt offerings
          and, as of November 11, 1994, had $350 million available for debt
          offerings under its shelf registration statement:

               -  7 7/8% Notes due July 15, 2004          $200 million
               -  8 1/4% Notes due November 1, 2001       $300 million

          The Company is limited by covenants in its revolving credit
          agreements as to the amount of dividends and advances that may be
          made to the Parent or its affiliated companies.  At September 30,
          1994, the Company would have been able to remit $150 million to
          the Parent under its most restrictive covenants or regulatory
          requirements.

          Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

          FAS 114 and FAS 118
          Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, "Accounting
          by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," and Statement of
          Financial Accounting Standards No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors
          for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures,"
          describe how impaired loans should be measured when determining
          the amount of a loan loss accrual.  These Statements also amend
          existing guidance on the measurement of restructured loans in a
          troubled debt restructuring involving a modification of terms. 
          The ultimate impact, if any, of implementing these Statements
          will depend on market conditions and the composition of the
          Company's loan portfolio at the date of implementation and thus
          the Company has not yet determined the impact, if any, these
          Statements will have on its financial statements.  The Statements
          have an effective date of January 1, 1995.
