Results of Operations
- ---------------------

The net income of Commercial Credit Company (the "Company") for the three months
and nine months ended September 30, 1995 was $60.9 million and $162.2 million,
respectively, compared to $57.8 million and $166.6 million, respectively, in the
corresponding 1994 periods. The Company's income before income taxes and
minority interest for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1995
was $90.6 million and $248.1 million, respectively, compared to $94.8 million
and $273.8 million, respectively, in the corresponding 1994 periods. The
Company's revenues for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1995
were $355.7 million and $1,036.2 million, respectively, compared to $405.1
million and $1,181.9 million, respectively, in the corresponding 1994 periods.

On December 30, 1994 the Company sold its remaining 50% interest in Commercial
Insurance Resources, Inc., the parent of Gulf Insurance Company (Gulf), to an
affiliate, The Travelers Indemnity Company, for $150 million and accordingly
results of operations for 1995 do not include Gulf's results.

At September 30, 1995 the Company had total debt consisting of certificates of
deposit of $74.7 million, short-term borrowings of $1,287.2 million and
long-term debt of $5,150.0 million. In addition the Company's total
stockholder's equity at September 30, 1995 was $1,194.1 million.

Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges
- ----------------------------------

The Company's ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 was 1.70. This ratio has been computed by dividing earnings
available for fixed charges by fixed charges. For the purpose of this ratio
earnings available for fixed charges consist of pre-tax income from continuing
operations adjusted for undistributed equity earnings and minority interest and
fixed charges; and fixed charges consist of interest expense and that portion of
rentals deemed representative of the appropriate interest factor.
