       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 June 30, 1994 and for the three and six month periods
         ended June 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
         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.


      2. Consumer Finance Receivables

      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 June 30, 1994 and December
           31, 1993, short-term borrowings consisted of commercial
           paper totaling $2,574.3 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.  The Parent and the
           Company have agreements with certain banks totaling $800
           whereby the Parent, with the consent of the Company, may
           assign certain amounts (swing facilities) to the Company for
           specific periods of time.  At June 30, 1994, $300 of the
           swing facility was allocated to the Company.

           At June 30, 1994, the Company had committed and available
           revolving credit facilities of $2,835, of which $175 expires
           in 1994, $1,160 expires in 1995 and $1,500 expires in 1997.

           In August 1994 the Parent, CCC and The Travelers Insurance
           Company (TIC) obtained commitments from a syndicate of banks
           to provide $1,500 of revolving credit, to be allocated to
           any of the Parent, CCC or TIC ($1,200 to mature in 1999 and
           the balance in 1995).  The participation of TIC in this
           agreement is limited to $300.  The revolving credit facility
           is expected to close in the third quarter of 1994, at which
           time the Parent will terminate the $800 swing facility and 
           $100 of lines available to CCC.


      4.   Related Party Transactions
           --------------------------

           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 June 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's earnings for the six months ended June 30,
      1994 include approximately $3.0 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 six months ended
      June 30, 1993 include reported after-tax net investment portfolio
      gains of $4.5 million and $13.3 million of equity in the income
      of old Travelers (comprised of $11 million of operating earnings
      and $2.3 million of realized portfolio gains).  Also included in
      earnings for the six months ended June 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 six months ended June 30,
      1994 decreased by $6.2 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>

      The 7% increase in Consumer Finance net income in the second
      quarter of 1994 over the same period last year reflects continued
      growth in receivables outstanding to $6.614 billion (before
      allowance for losses and accrued interest receivable) at the end
      of the period.  This represents a 3% increase over March 31, 1994
      and was marked particularly by growth in personal loans.  During
      the second quarter of 1994, a net addition of 28 offices brought 
      the total to 827 at June 30, 1994.  The Company does not currently 
      anticipate a significant change in number of branch offices during the 
      remainder of the year.

      Charge-offs remained at low levels for the 1994 period -- 2.07%
      versus 2.34% in the prior year quarter -- while the 60+ day
      delinquencies hit a low of 1.88% versus 2.19%.  The average yield
      on the portfolio declined to 15.28% from 15.92%, although net
      margins rose to 8.62%.  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.

      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 June 30, 1994, the Company had unused
      credit availability of $2.835 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.

      The Parent and the Company have agreements with certain banks 
      totaling $800 million whereby the Parent, with the consent of 
      the Company, may assign certain amounts (swing facilities) to 
      the Company for specific periods of time.  At June 30, 1994, 
      $300 million of the swing facility was allocated to the Company.

      In August 1994 the Parent, CCC and The Travelers Insurance
      Company (TIC) obtained commitments from a syndicate of banks to
      provide $1.5 billion of revolving credit, to be allocated to any
      of the Parent, CCC or TIC ($1.2 billion to mature in 1999 and the
      balance in 1995).  The participation of TIC in this agreement is
      limited to $300 million.  The revolving credit facility is
      expected to close in the third quarter of 1994, at which time the
      Parent will terminate the $800 million swing facility and $100 
      million of lines available to CCC.

      During July 1994 the Company issued $200 million of 7  7/8% Notes
      due July 15, 2004.  As of August 10, 1994, the Company had $650
      million available for debt offerings under its shelf registration
      statement.

      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 June 30,
      1994, the Company would have been able to remit $152 million to
      the Parent under its most restrictive covenants or regulatory
      requirements.

      Recent Accounting Standards

      FAS 114
      Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, "Accounting
      by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," describes how impaired
      loans should be measured when determining the amount of a loan
      loss accrual.  The Statement also amends existing guidance on the
      measurement of restructured loans in a troubled debt
      restructuring involving a modification of terms.  The Company has
      not yet determined the impact, if any, this statement will have
