                 FIRST PRIORITY GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)

1.  UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The information contained in the condensed consolidated financial
     statements for the period ended June 30, 1995 is unaudited, but includes
     all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which the
     Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
     position and the results of operations for these periods.

     The financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-
     QSB, and do not contain certain information included in the Company's
     annual statements and notes.  These financial statements should be read in
     conjunction with the Company's annual financial statement as reported in
     its most recent annual report on Form 10-KSB.

2.  BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY

     First Priority Group, Inc. (the "Company"), a New York corporation formed
     in October 1983, is engaged directly and through its wholly-owned
     subsidiaries in automotive fleet management and administration of
     automotive repairs for businesses, insurance companies and members of
     affinity groups.  The services provided by the Company include the
     computerized compilation and analysis of vehicle usage and maintenance data
     and the repair and maintenance of vehicles through approximately 3,000
     independently contracted repair facilities nationwide.  The Company's
     office is located at 270 Duffy Avenue, Hicksville, New York 11801 and its
     telephone number is (516) 938-1010.

3.  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The unaudited results of operations for the three and six months ended June
     30, 1995 and 1994 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
     expected for the full year.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.

     For the three months ended June 30, 1995 the Company's revenues from
operations increased by $99,950 (4.6%) to $2,259,662 from $2,159,712 for the
three months ended June 30, 1994.  The gross profit as a percentage decreased
1.8% for the three months ended June 30, 1995 to 17.6% from 19.4% for the same
period of 1994.  The decreased gross profit percentage is mainly due to fee
based programs offered to large companies at a reduced rate as an incentive to
sign on long term contracts.  This business practice has dramatically reduced
the company's attrition rate.

     For the six months ended June 30, 1995 the Company's revenues from
operations increased by $967,122 (24.4%) to $4,922,927 from $3,955,805 for the
six months ended June 30, 1994.  The gross profit as a percentage increased .4%
for the six months ended June 30, 1995 to 18.7% from 18.3% for the same period
of 1994.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $41,447 (11.7%) to
$396,039 for the second quarter of 1995 from $354,592 during the same period of
1994. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $126,114 (19.9%) to
$761,394 for the first six months of 1995 from $635,280 during the same period
of 1994. The increased selling, general, and administrative costs is due to
increased advertising, personnel, and benefit costs.

     The Company has recently expanded its program of providing automobile
collision repair services to the insurance industry.  Under its Direct Repair
and Appraisal Program, the Company provides appraisal services on a per accident
fee basis to insurance companies.  Additionally, the Company offers, to the
insured, to repair the damaged vehicle through the Company's extensive shop
repair network.  The Company believes that the provision of such services to
insurance companies may become an important source of revenues for the Company
because of the high volume of collision appraisal and repair referrals that
insurance companies provide as compared with the Company's corporate fleet
management clients.  The Company has taken steps to obtain several insurance
companies as clients.

     The Company has recently begun marketing consumer oriented auto  club
programs through a network of outside marketing agents.  The Company has
recently entered into agreements with several marketing agencies and affinity
groups and will be providing fee based services.  Several of these agreements
provide for the clients to meet certain minimum guarantees.  At least three of
these clients have already begun to pay fees to the Company.

     The Company completed the replacement of its telephone system with a more
technologically advanced system in July 1995.  As a result of this, the Company
expects lower per call costs and improved customer service efficiency.  The
Company financed $41,600 of the cost of the system through a bank loan.

     The Company believes that it has adequate liquidity to support its cost of
operations for the foreseeable future.
