                 DANIELSON HOLDING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                   (Unaudited)

1)       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying  unaudited  Consolidated Financial Statements of Danielson
Holding Corporation ("DHC" or "Registrant") and subsidiaries  (collectively with
DHC, the "Company")  have been prepared in accordance  with  generally  accepted
accounting  principles.  However, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes  required by generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for complete
consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting  of  normal  recurring  accruals)  considered  necessary  for a fair
presentation have been included. Operating results for the six months ended June
30, 2000 are not necessarily  indicative of the results that may be expected for
the year ending December 31, 2000. For further information, reference is made to
the Consolidated  Financial  Statements and footnotes  thereto included in DHC's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.

2)       PER SHARE DATA

     Per share data is based on the weighted  average number of shares of common
stock of DHC, par value $0.10 per share ("Common Stock"),  outstanding  during a
particular  year  or  other  relevant   period.   Diluted   earnings  per  share
computations, as calculated under the treasury stock method, include the average
number of shares of  additional  outstanding  Common  Stock  issuable  for stock
options and warrants, whether or not currently exercisable.  Such average shares
were 19,030,634 and 19,119,115 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000,
respectively,  and  15,932,147 and 15,849,466 for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1999, respectively.  Basic earnings per share are calculated using only
the average number of outstanding  shares of Common Stock and  disregarding  the
average number of shares  issuable for stock options and warrants.  Such average
shares were  18,476,265  for both the three and six months  ended June 30, 2000,
and 15,576,276 for both the three and six months ended June 30, 1999.

3)       INCOME TAXES

     DHC files a Federal  consolidated  income tax return with its  subsidiaries
and certain  trusts that  assumed  various  liabilities  of certain  present and
former subsidiaries of DHC. The Company records its interim tax provisions based
upon estimated effective tax rates for the year.

     The Company has made  provisions  for certain  state and local  taxes.  Tax
filings for these  jurisdictions do not consolidate the activities of the trusts
referred to above. For further  information,  reference is made to Note 8 of the
Notes to Consolidated  Financial  Statements  included in DHC's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.


ITEM 2.       MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
              CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


         1.       GENERAL

     Danielson  Holding  Corporation  ("DHC") is organized as a holding  company
with substantially all of its operations conducted by subsidiaries (collectively
with DHC, the "Company").  DHC, on a parent-only  basis, has limited  continuing
expenditures for rent and administrative expenses and derives revenues primarily
from investment returns on portfolio securities.  Therefore, the analysis of the
Company's  financial  condition  is generally  done on an  operating  subsidiary
basis.

     This  Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of  Financial  Condition  and
Results  of  Operations  and  the  information  in  Item  3, "  Qualitative  and
Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk" contain forward-looking  statements,
including statements concerning capital adequacy,  adequacy of reserves,  goals,
future events and underlying  assumptions and other  statements  which are other
than  statements of historical  facts.  Such  forward-looking  statements may be
identified,   without   limitation,   by  the  use  of  the  words   "believes",
"anticipates",  "expects",  "intends", "plans" and similar expressions. All such
statements represent only current estimates or expectations as to future results
and are subject to risks and  uncertainties  which could cause actual results to
materially differ from current estimates or expectations. See "RISK FACTORS THAT
MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS".
<PAGE>

         2.       RESULTS OF NAICC'S OPERATIONS

     The operations of DHC's principal  subsidiary,  National American Insurance
Company of  California  ("NAICC"),  are  primarily  in  specialty  property  and
casualty insurance.

PROPERTY AND CASUALTY INSURANCE OPERATIONS

     Net premiums  earned were $15.5 million and $31.0 million for the three and
six months  ended June 30,  2000,  respectively,  compared to $12.3  million and
$24.8  million for the three and six months ended June 30,  1999,  respectively.
The  increase in net  premiums  earned is directly  related to the change in net
premiums written.  Net premiums written were $17.3 million and $34.1 million for
the three and six months  ended June 30, 2000,  respectively,  compared to $13.0
million  and $26.4  million  for the three and six months  ended June 30,  1999,
respectively.

     The overall  increase in net written  premiums for 2000 over the comparable
periods  in  1999  is  attributable   to  increased   production  and  decreased
reinsurance  coverage  associated  with the rescission of a treaty  effective in
1999.

     Net  investment  income was $1.9 million and $3.7 million for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2000, respectively,  compared to $1.8 million and $3.6
million  for the three and six months  ended June 30,  1999,  respectively.  The
slight growth in investment  income is  attributable to increased cash flow from
operations  of $6.0 million  over the  comparable  year-to-date  period in 1999.
Realized gains increased by $3.7 million from the comparable  period in 1999 due
primarily to the sale of equity securities.

     Net losses and loss  adjustment  expenses  ("LAE")  were $11.3  million and
$22.6  million for the three and six months ended June 30,  2000,  respectively,
compared to $8.4  million and $16.9  million for the three and six months  ended
June  30,  1999,  respectively.  The  resulting  loss  and  LAE  ratios  for the
corresponding   year-to-date   periods  were  72.9  percent  and  68.0  percent,
respectively  for 2000 and 1999.  The loss and LAE ratio  increased in 2000 over
1999 due primarily to the rescission of several  treaties in 1999 that increased
the Company's workers' compensation retention.

     Policy  acquisition  costs were $4.0 million and $7.9 million for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2000,  respectively,  compared to $3.3 million and
$6.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999, respectively.  As
a percentage  of net premiums  earned,  policy  acquisition  expenses  were 25.5
percent  and 26.6  percent  for the six  months  ended  June 30,  2000 and 1999,
respectively.  The decrease in the policy  acquisition  expense ratio in 2000 is
due primarily to the overall increase in premium volume while fixed underwriting
expenses of policy acquisition costs remained relatively constant.

     General and administrative  expenses were $1.6 million and $3.1 million for
the  three  and six  months  ended  June 30,  2000,  respectively.  General  and
administrative expenses were $1.8 million and $3.6 million for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1999,  respectively.  General and administrative  expenses
decreased slightly in 2000 over 1999 due to cost reduction measures initiated at
the end of 1999.
     The combined ratios (which  represent a ratio of losses and expenses to net
earned premiums in a particular period) were 108.9 percent and 110.8 percent for
the six  months  ended June 30,  2000 and 1999,  respectively.  Net income  from
insurance  operations  for the six months  ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 was $5.3
million  and  $1.2  million,  respectively.  The  increase  in net  income  from
insurance  operations  during the first six months of 2000  compared to the same
period for 1999 is primarily  attributable  to realized  gains,  and to a lesser
extent, the increase in premium volume in our non-standard commercial automobile
line.

CASH FLOW FROM INSURANCE OPERATIONS

     Cash provided by  operations  was $5.7 million and $1.0 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The increase in cash provided
by operations is primarily  attributable  to the collection of amounts due, as a
result of the rescission of the several reinsurance  treaties,  in excess of $11
million.  Overall cash and invested  assets,  at market value,  at June 30, 2000
were $134.0 million, compared to $122.4 million at December 31, 1999.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company's insurance subsidiaries require both readily liquid assets and
adequate capital to meet ongoing obligations to policyholders and claimants,  as
well as to pay ordinary operating expenses. The primary sources of funds to meet
these  obligations  are premium  revenues,  investment  income,  recoveries from
reinsurance and, if required,  the sale of invested assets.  NAICC's  investment
policy guidelines require that all liabilities be matched by a comparable amount
of investment grade invested assets. Management of NAICC believes that NAICC has
both  adequate  capital  resources  and  sufficient   reinsurance  to  meet  any
unforeseen  events  such as  natural  catastrophes,  reinsurer  insolvencies  or
possible reserve deficiencies.

         3.       RESULTS OF DHC'S OPERATIONS

CASH FLOW FROM PARENT-ONLY OPERATIONS

     Operating  cash flow of DHC on a parent-only  basis is primarily  dependent
upon the rate of return achieved on its investment  portfolio and the payment of
general and  administrative  expenses incurred in the normal course of business.
For the six  months  ended  June 30,  2000 and 1999,  cash  used in  parent-only
operating  activities  was $0.6  million  and $0.9  million,  respectively.  The
decrease in cash used in operating  activities is attributable to an increase in
DHC's  investment  portfolio  and  the  income  it  generates.  For  information
regarding  DHC's  operating  subsidiaries'  cash flow from  operations,  SEE "2.
RESULTS OF NAICC'S OPERATIONS, CASH FLOW FROM INSURANCE OPERATIONS."
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     At June 30,  2000  cash and  investments  of DHC were  approximately  $17.8
million, compared to $18.1 million at December 31, 1999. As described above, the
primary use of funds was the payment of general and  administrative  expenses in
the  normal  course of  business.  For  information  regarding  DHC's  operating
subsidiaries'  liquidity  and  capital  resources,  see "2.  RESULTS  OF NAICC'S
OPERATIONS, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES."

         4.       RISK FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

     As noted  above,  the  foregoing  discussion  may  include  forward-looking
statements  that involve risks and  uncertainties.  In addition to other factors
and matters discussed  elsewhere herein,  some of the important factors that, in
the view of the Company,  could cause actual results to differ  materially  from
those discussed in the forward-looking statements include the following:

     1. The  insurance  products  sold by the  Company  are  subject  to intense
competition  from  many  competitors,  many of whom have  substantially  greater
resources  than the Company.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be
able  to  successfully   compete  and  generate  sufficient  premium  volume  at
attractive prices to be profitable.

     2. In order to implement its business plan, the Company has been seeking to
enter into strategic  partnerships  and/or make  acquisitions of businesses that
would  enable  the  Company  to  earn  an  attractive   return  on   investment.
Restrictions  on the Company's  ability to issue  additional  equity in order to
finance  any such  transactions  exist  which  could  significantly  affect  the
Company's ability to finance any such transaction.  The Company may have limited
other  resources  with  which to  implement  its  strategy  and  there can be no
assurance that any transaction will be successfully consummated.

     3. The  insurance  industry is highly  regulated  and it is not possible to
predict the impact of future state and federal  regulation on the  operations of
the Company.

     4.  Unpaid  losses  and  loss  adjustment  expenses  ("LAE")  are  based on
estimates of reported losses,  historical  Company experience of losses reported
by reinsured  companies for insurance assumed from such insurers,  and estimates
based on historical Company and industry  experience for unreported claims. Such
liability is, by necessity,  based upon  estimates  which may change in the near
term, and there can be no assurance that the ultimate liability will not exceed,
or even materially exceed, such estimates.

ITEM 3.       QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT  MARKET RISK


     The  Company's  objectives  in managing  its  investment  portfolio  are to
maximize  investment  income and  investment  returns while  minimizing  overall
credit risk. Investment strategies are developed based on many factors including
underwriting  results,  overall  tax  position,  regulatory  requirements,   and
fluctuations in interest rates.  Investment decisions are made by management and
approved by the Board of  Directors.  Market risk  represents  the potential for
loss due to adverse  changes in the fair value of  securities.  The market risks
related to the Company's  fixed maturity  portfolio are primarily  interest rate
risk and  prepayment  risk.  The market risks  related to the  Company's  equity
portfolio are foreign  currency  risk and equity price risk.  There have been no
material  changes to the Company's market risk for the six months ended June 30,
2000. For further information,  reference is made to Management's Discussion and
Analysis of  Financial  Condition  and Results of  Operations  included in DHC's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.
