NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
UNAUDITED


NOTE 1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION
- ------------------------------

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Fund American Enterprises Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") and its
subsidiaries (collectively, "Fund American"). Fund American's primary business
is conducted through Source One Mortgage Services Corporation and its
subsidiaries ("Source One"). Source One is one of the nation's largest mortgage
banking companies.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles and include all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring adjustments) considered necessary by Management to fairly present the
financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Fund American. These
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's 1994
Annual Report to Shareholders. These interim financial statements may not be
indicative of financial results for the full year.

NOTE 2.  ACCOUNTING STANDARD RECENTLY ADOPTED
- ---------------------------------------------

In May 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage
Servicing Rights".  SFAS No. 122 requires the total cost of acquiring mortgage
loans, either through loan origination activities or purchase transactions, to
be allocated to the mortgage servicing rights and the loans based on their
relative fair values.  The statement requires entities to measure impairment on
a disaggregated basis by stratifying the capitalized mortgage servicing asset
based on one or more predominant risk characteristics of the underlying loans.
Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance for each individual
stratum.

In the third quarter of 1995 Fund American adopted the provisions of SFAS No.
122 as of January 1, 1995.  SFAS No. 122 prohibits retroactive application to
periods prior to January 1, 1995.  Therefore the reported results for 1995 may
not be comparable to respective prior year amounts.

Fund American estimates the fair value of its servicing rights by calculating
the expected future cash flows associated with such rights.  In making those
estimates, Fund American incorporated assumptions that market participants would
use in their estimates of future servicing income and expense and discounted
those cash flows using current market rates.

To measure impairment of the capitalized servicing asset, Fund American
stratified its post-implementation mortgage loan servicing portfolio based on
its predominant risk characteristics which were determined to be prepayment and
default risks. This resulted in stratification by interest rate, loan type
(investor) and original maturity.  The fair value of each stratum was computed
and compared to its recorded book value to determine if a valuation allowance,
or recovery of a previously established valuation allowance, was required.

NOTE 3.  EARNINGS PER SHARE
- ---------------------------

Primary earnings per share amounts are based on the weighted average number of
common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding of 8,146,614 and
9,054,084 for the three month periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994,
respectively, and 8,411,168 and 9,590,721 for the nine month periods ended
September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  Fully diluted earnings per share
amounts are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding,
assuming full dilution, of 8,150,534 and 9,066,334 for the three month periods
ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively, and 9,221,554 and 9,619,247 for
the nine month periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
- --------------------------------------------

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- NINE-MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 AND 1994

Fund American ended the third quarter with a book value per common and
equivalent share of $81.94, an increase of $12.99 from the December 31, 1994
book value per share of $68.95.

Net income was $81.7 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 1995,
versus an $11.1 million net loss for the comparable prior year period. The 1995
year-to-date income statement includes $8.0 million of pretax earnings resulting
from the adoption of SFAS No. 122. Net income for 1995 also includes three
nonrecurring items recorded in the second quarter: (i) a $46.2 million pretax
charge to compensation expense related to outstanding employee stock warrants;
(ii) a $66.0 million favorable tax development relating to the sale of a former
subsidiary; and (iii) the receipt of a $9.7 million pretax breakup fee, plus
reimbursement of related expenses, from Home Holdings, Inc. The 1994 net loss
includes a $44.3 million after tax charge in the first quarter related to a
change in accounting methodology adopted by Source One. For the third quarter
Fund American reported net income in 1995 of $6.6 million versus $4.2 million in
1994.

In the third quarter of 1995 Fund American adopted the provisions of SFAS No.
122 as of January 1, 1995.  The implementation of SFAS No. 122, as it relates to
the capitalization of originated mortgage servicing rights during the nine month
and three month periods ended September 30, 1995, resulted in the recognition of
additional pretax gains on sales of mortgages of $19.8 million and $10.8
million, respectively.

The implementation of SFAS No. 122 also resulted in additional pretax accounting
impairment (recapture) of the capitalized mortgage servicing asset of $11.8
million and $(.2) million during the nine month and three month periods ended
September 30, 1995, respectively. In accordance with SFAS No. 122, accounting
impairment is now recognized through a valuation allowance which can be
recovered in future periods should conditions impacting the valuation of
mortgage servicing rights improve.

MORTGAGE ORIGINATION AND SERVICING.  Source One's mortgage loan  production in
the 1995 third quarter improved versus production in the first half of the year
as recent declines in interest rates and a flattening of the yield curve have
sparked fixed rate loan production.  A summary of Source One's mortgage loan
production and mortgage servicing portfolio activities follows:

(a)  Includes loans subserviced for others of $4,111 million, $4,190 million and
     $4,294 million as September 30, 1995, June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994,
     respectively.
(b)  Excludes $1,651 million of interim servicing as of December 31, 1994.
(c)  Includes loans in process of foreclosure.

Mortgage servicing revenue, net of amortization of the capitalized servicing
asset, decreased $1.7 million to $55.8 million for the nine month period ended
September 30, 1995 from $57.5 million for the comparable prior year period.  The
decline is primarily due to the sale of $9.9 billion of mortgage servicing
rights in the 1995 first quarter to a third party (the "Servicing Sale") and
impairment of the capitalized mortgage servicing asset as a result of adopting
SFAS No.  122, partially offset by slower amortization of the capitalized
mortgage servicing asset resulting from lower prepayments during 1995 as
compared to 1994.  Net mortgage servicing revenue decreased $1.2 million to
$17.5 million for the third quarter of 1995.

Source One reported net gains on sales of mortgages into the secondary market of
$15.3 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 1995 versus $30.6
million for the comparable prior year period.  The 1995 deterioration is
primarily attributable to the reduced volume of mortgage loan sales and
increased price competition industry wide, partially offset by the effects of
implementing SFAS No.122.  Net gains on sales of mortgages in the third quarter
of 1995 were $9.6 million versus $1.8 million in the third quarter of 1994.
This is primarily the result of the effects of implementing SFAS No. 122.

During the first quarter of 1995, Source One recognized a $28.2 million pretax
gain ($18.3 million after tax) resulting from the Servicing Sale.  The
capitalized mortgage servicing asset declined to $367.5 million at September 30,
1995, from $530.5 million at December 31, 1994, primarily as a result of the
Servicing Sale.


INVESTMENT OPERATIONS. Fund American's investment income is comprised primarily
of interest income earned on mortgage loans originated by Source One.
Investment income decreased to $42.0 million and $14.8 million for the nine
month and three month periods ended September 30, 1995, respectively, from $77.1
million and $17.5 million for the comparable prior year periods.  The declines
resulted from a lower average size of Source One's inventory of mortgage loans
held for sale.  Total net investment gains and losses, before tax, were as
follows:

During the first nine months of 1995, Fund American sold 2,401,000 shares of
common stock of American Express Company for $76.7 million.  As of September 30,
1995, Fund American's largest holdings of common equity securities, at market
value, were The Louisiana Land & Exploration Company ($104.3 million), San Juan
Basin Royalty Trust ($75.6 million) and Zurich Reinsurance Centre Holdings, Inc.
($68.5 million).

In the second quarter of 1995 Fund American received a $9.7 million breakup fee,
plus reimbursement of certain expenses, which was triggered by the rejection of
Fund American's proposed investment in Home Holdings, Inc.  The breakup fee is
included in other revenue.


EXPENSES. Source One finances its inventory of mortgage loans held for sale
primarily with debt.  Accordingly, the decrease in mortgage loans held for sale
resulted in a decrease in interest expense for 1995 as compared to 1994.

At Fund American's 1995 Annual Meeting, shareholders approved a new five-year 
employment agreement between Fund American and its Chairman Jack Byrne which 
calls for Mr. Byrne to serve as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Fund 
American through December 31, 1999 in return for, among other things, an 
extension of the expiration date of 1,000,000 of Mr. Byrne's warrants to 
purchase shares of Fund American common stock from January 2, 1996 to January 2,
2002. A $46.2 million pretax charge to compensation expense was recorded in the 
second quarter of 1995 as a result of the warrant extension. The extension of 
the warrants, which were purchased by Mr. Byrne in 1985, did not reduce total 
shareholders' equity or book value per common and common equivalent share (which
already considers the dilutive effects of all issued and outstanding common 
stock equivalents such as stock options and warrants).

Excluding the effects of the $46.2 million pretax charge associated with the
warrant extension, compensation and benefits expense decreased $4.4 million and
$5.9 million, respectively, for the nine month and three month periods ended
September 30, 1995 versus the comparable prior year periods. Source One nets
mortgage loan origination fees, less certain direct costs, against compensation
and benefits expense. The higher level of originations experienced by Source One
during 1994 resulted in significantly higher origination fees offsetting
compensation and benefits for the year-to-date and quarterly 1994 periods than
were experienced during the comparable 1995 periods. Excluding the effects of
the warrant extension and mortgage loan origination fees, compensation and
benefits decreased $18.3 million for the year-to-date period from 1994 to 1995.

Fund American's general expenses decreased 22.7%, to $42.1 million, and 16.2%,
to $14.7 million, for the nine month and three month periods ended September 30,
1995, respectively, versus the comparable prior year periods.  The declines were
primarily due to decreases in mortgage loan production expenses resulting from
lower production levels experienced during 1995.


TAX BENEFIT FROM SALE OF SUBSIDIARY.  On January 2, 1991, Fund American sold 
Fireman's Fund Insurance Company to Allianz of America, Inc. The $1.3 billion 
gain from the sale as reported in 1991 included a $75.0 million tax benefit 
related to Fund American's estimated tax loss from the sale. Since 1991 Fund 
American has carried an estimated reserve related to tax matters affecting the 
amount of the deductible tax loss from the sale and other tax matters.

The recent conclusion of Internal Revenue Service audits of Fund American's 
Federal tax returns for taxable periods ending on or prior to October 23, 1985 
has resolved certain of the tax matters affecting the amount of Fund American's 
deductible tax loss from the sale and Fund American has, therefore, re-estimated
its tax reserve. As a result of the reserve re-estimation, Fund American 
included in its second quarter 1995 income statement an additional $66.0 million
income tax benefit from the sale.

The amount of tax benefit from the sale ultimately realized by Fund American may
be significantly less or more than Fund American's current estimate due to 
possible changes in or new interpretations of tax rules, possible amendments to 
Fund American's 1990 or prior years' Federal Income tax returns, the result of 
further Internal Revenue Service audits and other matters affecting the amount 
of the deductible tax loss from the sale.


INSURANCE OPERATIONS.  Fund American's operating affiliate, Financial Security
Assurance Holdings Ltd. (FSA), posted strong results through the first nine
months of 1995. Fueled in part by $95.5 million of newly originated present
value premiums in the nine month period ended September 30, 1995 ($21.2 million
in the third quarter), FSA's adjusted book value has grown $3.37, or 12.8%, to
$29.77 at September 30, 1995 from $26.40 at December 31, 1994.

White Mountains Insurance Company, Fund American's New Hampshire-based
commercial property and casualty insurance company, wrote its first policies in
the 1995 third quarter.

On October 20, 1995, Fund American received regulatory clearance to acquire the
Valley Insurance Company. Fund American expects to receive regulatory approval
to acquire Charter Indemnity Company in the near future, allowing Fund American
to close the Valley and Charter acquisitions shortly thereafter.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

PARENT COMPANY. Pursuant to the terms of a credit agreement among the Company
and White River Corporation ("White River"), the Company provided White River
with a $50.0 million term loan (the "Term Loan") and a $40.0 million revolving
credit facility (the "Revolver").  The credit agreement granted White River the
right to use certain of its investment securities to repay its borrowings under
the Term Loan and the Revolver.

On June 29, 1995 White River repaid $35.1 million in principal amount on the
Revolver with: (i) 930,000 shares of common stock of Mid Ocean Limited ("Mid
Ocean Shares"); and (ii) options to acquire an additional 388,140 Mid Ocean
Shares through November 2002.  On July 3, 1995, White River repaid the remaining
$4.9 million principal balance on the Revolver and $5.0 million in principal
amount on the Term Note in exchange for certain common equity securities.  On
August 31, 1995, White River repaid the remaining $45.0 million principle
balance on the Term Note with 1,525,424 shares of common stock of Zurich
Reinsurance Centre Holdings, Inc.

On July 31, 1995, the Company redeemed all 20,833 shares of its outstanding
Voting Preferred Stock Series D for $75.0 million of cash. The redemption price
for the shares of preferred stock redeemed was equal to the stock's liquidation
preference.

Prospectively, the primary sources of cash inflows for the Company will be sales
of investment securities, investment income and distributions received from its
operating subsidiaries.


SOURCE ONE. Source One's investments, mortgage loans held for sale and mortgage
loan servicing portfolio provide a liquidity reserve since they may be sold to
meet cash needs.

Source One's working capital requirements have historically been funded through
its revolving credit and commercial paper programs.  These borrowings are used
to fund mortgage loan production until the sale of such mortgage loans in the
secondary market.

Declines in mortgage loan production have led to a reduction in the average
balance of mortgage loans held for sale during 1995, resulting in a decrease in
Source One's average outstanding balance of short-term borrowings. Source One
also repurchased $82.3 million in principal amount of its long-term debt during
the first half of 1995.

At September 30, 1995 Source One had $60.8 million of short-term borrowings
outstanding under committed bank credit agreements and $230.7 million of
outstanding commercial paper.

Source One entered into the Servicing Sale in the first quarter of 1995 to take
advantage of the substantial increase in the value of servicing rights that was
created by the rise in interest rates during 1994 and to bring its servicing and
origination activities into better balance. On October 31, 1995, Source One
acquired the rights to service approximately $5.0 billion of mortgage loans from
a third party. Additional purchases or sales of mortgage servicing rights may
occur in the future when Source One deems such transactions to be economically
advantageous.

On November 7, 1995, the Securities and Exchange Commission approved a
registration statement allowing Source One to offer to exchange up to $100
million aggregate principal amount of Quarterly Income Capital Securities for up
to four million shares of its outstanding 8.42% Cumulative Preferred Stock
Series A.
