INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Trustee and Participants of
United Companies Financial Corporation
Employees' Savings Plan
Baton Rouge, Louisiana
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
benefits of United Companies Financial Corporation Employees' Savings Plan
(the "Plan") as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related statements
of changes in net assets available for benefits for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 1995. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at December 31,
1995 and 1994 and the changes in net assets available for benefits for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules listed in
the Table of Contents are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and
are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary
information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974. The supplemental information by fund in the statements of net assets
available for benefits and the statements of changes in net assets available
for benefits is presented for the purpose of additional analysis rather than to
present the net assets available for benefits and changes in net assets
available for benefits of the individual funds. The supplemental schedules and
supplemental information by fund is the responsibility of the Plan's
management. Such supplemental schedules and supplemental information by fund
have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the
basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all
material respects when considered in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole.

UNITED COMPANIES FINANCIAL CORPORATION
EMPLOYEES' SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements of the United Companies Financial Corporation
Employees' Savings Plan (the "Plan") are prepared on the accrual basis.
Investments are reported at fair value. Fair value for investments in the UCFC
Stock Fund, the Equity Fund, the Government Income Fund, the Guaranteed Fund,
the Money-market Fund, the Stock Emphasis Balanced Fund, the Growth Stock Fund,
and the Stock Index Fund, is determined by reference to market prices on the
valuation date when available. The guaranteed group annuity contracts and
participant loans are valued at cost, which approximates fair value.
2. ELIGIBILITY, CONTRIBUTIONS AND INVESTMENT PROGRAMS
The following description of the Plan's provisions provides general
information regarding eligibility, contributions and investment programs.
Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description
of the Plan's provisions.
Employees are eligible to participate in the Plan provided they have
completed one year of service and have attained the age of twenty-one prior to
the election date. The employee must be a full-time employee (working at least
30 hours a week) and complete 1,000 hours of service during the one year
waiting period. Participating employees may revise the direction of their
contribution once per each calendar year quarter. UCFC provides matching
contributions of a percentage of the participant's contribution up to 5% of the
participant's salary. Salary for purposes of the Plan is limited to $150,000
for any Plan year, adjusted for cost of living increases. From July 1, 1992 to
December 31, 1993, the matching employer contributions were 50% of the
participant's contribution deferral and were invested in UCFC stock. Beginning
January 1, 1994, the matching employer contributions are 100% of the
participant's contribution deferral and were invested in UCFC stock.
Participants are 100% vested in employee contributions ("elective
deferrals") and earnings thereon. Vesting in the employer contributions and
earnings thereon is based on years of service. Participants generally have no
vesting rights until completion of five (5) years of service with the Company
at which time they will become 100% vested in employer matching contributions.
The non-vested portion of a participant's account will be forfeited upon
distribution of the participant's vested portion or incurring 5 consecutive
one-year breaks in service. Amounts forfeited may be used to reduce the
employer contributions in the following Plan year.
Employee contributions are supplemented by the matching employer
contributions, and the employee contributions are invested as directed by the
participant in one or more of the following eight funds:
(a) UCFC Stock Fund - Contributions to this fund are invested
primarily in $2 par value common stock of United Companies
Financial Corporation ("UCFC").
(b) Equity Fund - Contributions to this fund are invested
primarily in a professionally managed and diversified
portfolio of common stocks of high quality companies.

(c) Government Income Fund - Contributions to this fund are

Insurance Company, primarily in obligations issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies.
(d) Guaranteed Fund - Contributions to this fund are invested in
the general account of Principal Mutual Life Insurance Company
at a guaranteed interest rate for a specified period of time.
(e) Stock Emphasis Balanced Fund - Contributions to this fund are
invested in pooled separate accounts of Principal Mutual Life
Insurance Company, weighted toward equity accounts.
(f) Growth Stock Fund - Contributions to this fund are invested in
pooled separate accounts of Principal Mutual Life Insurance
Company, primarily in common stocks of large established
companies whose earnings are expected to grow at above average
rates.
(g) Stock Index Fund - Contributions to this fund are in pooled
separate accounts of Principal Mutual Life Insurance Company,
invested in the common stock of those companies included in
the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index.
(h) Money-market Fund - Contributions to this fund are invested in
pooled separate accounts of Principal Mutual Life Insurance
Company, primarily in money market instruments.
Investment options (c), (e), (f), (g) and (h) are offered through a
pooled separate account, The Principal Pooled Separate Account, and are
classified as such in the statement of financial condition.
The Plan allows participants to borrow from the Plan up to 50% of each
participant's vested interest in the Plan. Participant loans are considered
another investment option of the Plan and require the approval of the Plan
Administrator. Loan payments, including principal and interest, must be made
no less frequently than quarterly, with level amortization over the term of the
loan. The maximum loan term is 5 years.

4. INCOME TAXES
A determination letter dated August 10, 1988 has been received from the
Internal Revenue Service to the effect that the Plan as currently in effect is
qualified as to form under Section 401(a) of the Code; the trust is exempt from
Federal income tax under Section 501(a) of the Code; and employer contributions
paid to the trust under the Plan will be allowable to the Employer as Federal
income tax deductions subject to the conditions and limitations of Section 404
of the Code. It is intended that the Plan, as modified by the provisions of
the Tax Reform Act of 1986, will continue to meet the requirements of Section
401(a) of the Code. Accordingly, no provisions for Federal income taxes have
been made in the accompanying financial statements.
