Note 1 - Basis of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
- -------------------------------------------------------------
The condensed consolidated financial information included in this report has
been prepared in conformity with the accounting principles and practices
reflected in the consolidated financial statements included in the annual report
filed with the Commission for the preceding calendar year. All adjustments are
of a normal recurring nature and are, in the opinion of management, necessary to
a fair statement of the consolidated results for the interim periods. Any
statements in this report looking forward in time involve risks and
uncertainties, including but not limited to the following risks: the effect of
interest rate fluctuations; changes in the performance of the real estate
markets; the effect of changing economic conditions; and the demand for and the
acceptance of the Company's products. This report should be read in conjunction
with the Company's 1996 Annual Report to Stockholders and the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996.
Note 2 - Subsequent Event
- -------------------------
On April 22, 1997, the Company issued and sold $100 million of 8.5% trust
preferred securities, due in 2012, through its wholly owned subsidiary, First
American Capital Trust I. For financial reporting purposes, the securities will
be presented in the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as a separate line
item directly above stockholders' equity under the caption "Guaranteed Preferred
Beneficial Interests in Company's Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest
Debentures." Distributions payable on the securities will be included as
interest expense in the Company's consolidated income statement.
The Company expects to use the proceeds from the sale of these 15-year
securities for repayment in full of the variable rate indebtedness portion of
its amended credit agreement, the financing of possible acquisitions and general
corporate purposes.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three months ended March 31:
OVERVIEW
Mortgage interest rates, which began to increase in the second quarter 1994,
peaked in January of 1995 and decreased throughout the remainder of that year
and into 1996, helped by an easing of monetary policy by the Federal Reserve
Board. Increased refinance activity together with an improvement in residential
resale transactions (including the beginnings of a modest housing recovery in
California), contributed to a strong first quarter 1996. A favorable real
estate economy continued throughout the remainder of 1996 and into the first
quarter 1997, resulting in record revenues and strong profits for the Company
for 1996 and relatively strong revenues for the first quarter 1997. However,
first quarter 1997 profits were adversely affected by the need for title
operations to maintain staffing levels, which had gradually increased throughout
1996, in order to service relatively strong residential resale orders scheduled
for closing in the second quarter 1997. Furthermore, the Company's information
services operations experienced higher overhead as they integrated recent
acquisitions and transitioned new accounts to their systems. Net income for the
first quarter 1997 was $2.9 million, or $0.25 per share, as compared with $8.6
million, or $0.75 per share, for the same period of the prior year.
OPERATING REVENUES
Set forth below is a summary of operating revenues for each of the Company's
segments.

======== ======= ======== =======
</TABLE>
Title Insurance. Operating revenues from direct title operations increased 7.4%
when compared with the same period of the prior year. This increase was
primarily attributable to an increase in the average revenues per order closed
as well as an increase in the number of title orders closed by the Company's
direct operations. The average revenues per order closed were $814 for the
current three month period, as compared with $774 for the same period of the
prior year. This increase was primarily due to an increased mix of residential
resale activity. The Company's direct operations closed 181,500 title orders
during the current quarter, as compared with 177,600 title orders closed during
the same period of the prior year. This increase was primarily due to the
factors mentioned above, as well as an increase in the Company's national market
share. Operating revenues from agency operations increased 11.5% when compared
with the same period of the prior year. This increase was primarily due to the
same factors affecting direct operations mentioned above, compounded by the
inherent delay in reporting by agents.
Real Estate Information. Real estate information operating revenues increased
14.1% when compared with the same period of the prior year. This increase was
primarily attributable to $7.8 million of operating revenues contributed by new
acquisitions.
Home Warranty. Home warranty operating revenues increased 15.2% when compared
with the same period of the prior year. This increase was primarily
attributable to improvements in the residential resale markets in which this
business segment operates.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
of Operations (continued)
- -------------------------
INVESTMENT AND OTHER INCOME
Investment and other income totaled $6.5 million for both the first quarter 1997
and 1996. This was primarily attributable to a relatively unchanged average
investment portfolio balance.
TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES
Title Insurance. Salaries and other personnel costs were $108.8 million, an
increase of 14.4% when compared with the same period of the prior year. This
increase was primarily due to a 7% increase in staffing levels in order to
service the more labor intensive residential resale transactions (as opposed to
a predominate refinance mix in the same period of the prior year), modest salary
increases and $1.7 million related to acquisition activity.
Agents retained $122.2 million, or 80.3%, and $109.9 million, or 80.6%, of the
title premiums generated by agency operations for the first quarter 1997 and
1996, respectively. The percentage of title premiums retained by agents varies
from region to region. Accordingly, the geographical mix of revenues from
agency operations accounts for the variation in the percentage amount of title
premiums retained by agents.
Other operating expenses were $53.7 million, an increase of 7.8% when compared
with the same period of the prior year. This increase was primarily
attributable to the impact of certain incremental costs associated with
processing the increase in title orders closed during the current quarter,
marginal price level increases and $1.0 million related to acquisition activity.
The provision for title losses as a percentage of title insurance operating
revenues was 3.8% for the current quarter and 4.9% for the same period of the
prior year. The decrease in the current quarter was primarily due to an ongoing
improvement in the Company's loss experience.
Real Estate Information. Real estate information personnel and other operating
expenses were $51.6 million, an increase of 34.7% when compared with the same
period of the prior year. This increase was primarily due to $12.9 million of
costs associated with new acquisitions, as well as slightly higher overhead
costs attributable to the integration of the new acquisitions and transitioning
new accounts to their systems.
Home Warranty. Home warranty personnel and other operating expenses were $3.2
million, an increase of 20.1% when compared with the same period of the prior
year. This increase was primarily attributable to costs incurred servicing the
increased business volume and expansion into other states. The provision for
home warranty losses expressed as a percentage of home warranty operating
revenues was 58.2% and 51.7% for the first quarter 1997 and 1996, respectively.
The increase in loss ratio was primarily due to an increase in the average
number of claims per contract resulting from extended coverage on its
warranties.

</TABLE>
In general, the title insurance business is a lower profit margin business when
compared to the Company's other segments. The lower profit margins reflect the
high cost of producing title evidence whereas the corresponding revenues are
subject to regulatory and competitive pricing restraints. Due to this
relatively high proportion of fixed costs, title insurance profit margins
generally improve as closed order volumes increase. In addition, title
insurance profit margins are affected by the composition (residential or
commercial) and type (resale, refinancing or new construction) of real estate
activity. Profit margins from resale and new construction transactions are
generally higher than from refinancing transactions because in many states there
are premium discounts on, and cancellation rates are higher for, refinance
transactions. Title insurance profit margins are also affected by the percentage
of operating revenues generated by agency operations. Profit margins from
direct operations are generally higher than from agency operations due primarily
to the large portion of the premium that is retained by the agent. Real estate
information pretax profits are generally unaffected by the type of real estate
activity but increase as the volume of residential real estate loan transactions
increase.
PREMIUM TAXES
Premium taxes were $4.2 million and $3.5 million for the first quarter 1997 and
1996, respectively. Premium taxes as a percentage of title insurance operating
revenues remained relatively constant at approximately 1.3%.
INCOME TAXES
The effective income tax rate was 39.9% for the current quarter and 42.7% for
the same period of the prior year. The decrease in effective rate was primarily
attributable to a decrease in state income taxes resulting from the Company's
non-insurance subsidiaries decrease in pretax profits.
NET INCOME
Net income for the current quarter was $2.9 million, or $0.25 per share,
compared with net income of $8.6 million, or $0.75 per share.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Total cash and cash equivalents decreased $33.3 million and $16.8 million for
the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The decrease for
the current period was primarily attributable to cash used for operating
activities, capital expenditures and repayment of debt. The decrease in the
prior year period was primarily due to capital expenditures and repayment of
debt.
Notes and contracts payable as a percentage of total capitalization decreased to
15.2% at March 31, 1997, from 16.0% at December 31, 1996. The decrease was
primarily due to the reduction of indebtedness.
On April 22, 1997, the Company issued and sold $100 million of 8.5% trust
preferred securities, due in 2012, through its wholly owned subsidiary, First
American Capital Trust I. The Company expects to use the proceeds from the sale
of these 15-year securities for repayment in full of the variable rate
