                            US FACILITIES CORPORATION
              Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1.       General

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally  accepted  accounting  principles and with
the  instructions  to Form 10-Q.  Accordingly,  they do not  include  all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted  accounting  principles
for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring accruals)  considered  necessary for a fair
presentation  have been  included.  The results of operations for the six months
ended June 30,1996 are not necessarily  indicative of the results to be expected
for the full year. For further information,  refer to the consolidated financial
statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31,1995 included in
the  US  Facilities   Corporation   (the   "Company")   1995  Annual  Report  to
Stockholders.

2.       Note Payable

Effective March 29, 1996, the Company  renegotiated its bank Credit Agreement to
extend the  commencement  of required  principal  reductions and maturity by one
year,  and reduce the  applicable  interest  margin from 2% to 1.75% over LIBOR.
Mandatory principal  reductions now commence in March 1997, and the Note matures
December 31,  2002.  At June 30, 1996,  the Company was in  compliance  with all
covenants of the Credit Agreement.

3.       Other

Other expenses include $547,000 incurred in the second quarter of 1995 resulting
from the closure of the Registrant's  bill review  operations  effective May 31,
1995.  Results for the 1995 six month period also include an expense of $695,000
pertaining  to  the  resignation  of the  Registrant's  former  Chief  Executive
Officer.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The Company's consolidated revenues increased 3% to $77,447,000 for the
first six months of 1996 from  $75,391,000  for the 1995 period and decreased 4%
to $38,529,000 for the 1996 second quarter ended June 30, 1996 from  $39,932,000
in the 1995 second  quarter.  Revenue changes in the 1996 periods as compared to
the  1995   periods   arise  from   increases   in  premiums   earned  from  the
property/casualty  business  segment and an increase in net  investment  income,
resulting  from  higher  levels of  invested  assets,  offset  by the  effect of
competitive  pressures in the medical  lines  segment.  The increase in realized
gains in the 1996 six month  period  primarily  resulted  from two  transactions
during the 1996 first quarter.

         Consolidated  net income for the first six months of 1996  increased 9%
to  $7,393,000  from  $6,771,000 in the 1995 six month period and declined 7% to
$3,585,000 for the second quarter of 1996 from  $3,849,000 in the second quarter
of 1995.  Changes  in net income for the 1996  periods as  compared  to the 1995
periods  primarily  resulted from the changes in revenues  noted above and a 13%
decrease in  consolidated  general and  administrative  (G&A)  expenses,  as the
Company  continued  to manage  both  productivity  and  expenses  in relation to
revenues.  G&A  expenses  reported  by business  segment  include  revisions  to
allocation   percentages  of  common  corporate  overhead  between  the  periods
presented. Results for the 1995 six month period include a first quarter pre-tax
charge of $695,000  pertaining to the resignation of the Company's  former Chief
Executive  Officer,  as well as the  effect in the  second  quarter of a pre-tax
charge of  $547,000  resulting  from the  closure  of its  medical  bill  review
operation.  Income tax  expense as a  percentage  of pre-tax  income  fluctuates
depending on the  proportion  of tax-exempt  investment  income to total pre-tax
income.

     The  statutory  combined  ratio  of  the  Company's  insurance   operations
increased in the 1996 first half to 101.6 from 98.4 in the 1995 first half.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS

The Company  conducts  business  primarily  in two business  segments  which are
classified as:

         (a) MEDICAL LINES, which includes all commission and fee-based revenues
of the  Company  and  premiums  earned  from  reinsurance  of 50% of the medical
stop-loss and provider excess business  generated by the Company's

                                       7
<PAGE>

wholly owned subsidiary,  USBenefits  Insurance Services,  Inc.  ("USBenefits").
USBenefits acts primarily as the underwriting manager and marketing organization
for medical  stop-loss and provider excess  coverages  issued by The Continental
Insurance Company,  one of the CNA Insurance  Companies,  an unaffiliated party.
Provider excess coverage is specifically  designed to address the risk hospitals
and physician  groups are facing under  capitated fee  arrangements.  USBenefits
also provides other employee benefit related products.
                                  
         (b)  PROPERTY/CASUALTY   insurance  and  reinsurance   underwriting  is
conducted by the Company's wholly owned  subsidiaries,  USF RE INSURANCE COMPANY
("USF RE") and USF Insurance Company ("USFIC"). USF RE assumes property/casualty
reinsurance from unaffiliated  insurance companies primarily through reinsurance
intermediaries,  and USFIC writes surplus lines  insurance  through  independent
excess and surplus lines brokers.

         The tables set forth below present  pre-tax  operating  information  by
business segment and holding company operations  (including  realized gains) for
the quarters and six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

         Throughout  1996,  the Company has  maintained  its long-term  focus on
adherence to  underwriting  standards  balanced  against  continued  competitive
pressures in the medical  lines  segment.  These factors  reduced  medical lines
production by 2% in the 1996 six month period and 7% in the 1996 second  quarter
as compared to the 1995 periods.  In turn,  loss and loss  adjustment and policy
acquisition  expenses in 1996 as compared to 1995 reflect  increases in the cost
of  healthcare  which are not  mitigated by  corresponding  increases in premium
rates, as well as higher formula reserves and acquisition  expenses  incurred in
connection with the provider excess line.

         The increases in premiums earned during the 1996 periods as compared to
the  1995   periods   primarily   result   from   the   continuing   growth   of
property/casualty  operations  due to  ongoing  focused  marketing  efforts  and
expansion of its client base.

         Increases in losses and loss adjustment expenses in 1996 as compared to
1995 reflect the Company's  continued  growth of the casualty  business which is
reserved at a higher formula loss ratio than property  lines,  offset in part by
the 1995  withdrawal  from the plate glass business which  generally had a lower
loss ratio and higher acquisition  expenses.  The decrease in policy acquisition
expenses in 1996 as compared to 1995 results from a shift in the mix of business
and modification of retrocessional reinsurance arrangements.

         In November,  1995, the Company increased its bank loan by $10,000,000,
resulting in higher interest  expenses in 1996 as compared to 1995.  These funds
were contributed to the surplus of USF RE to support additional premium growth.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 123,  "Accounting for
Stock-Based  Compensation"  issued in  October,  1995,  will be  adopted  by the
Company for the year ending December 31, 1996.  Adoption is not expected to have
a material effect on the financial statements of the Company.

INFLATION

         The  healthcare  marketplace  has long been  subject to the  effects of
increasing  costs  for  provider  services.  Such  inflation  in  the  costs  of
healthcare  tends to generate  higher  claims  payments  generally  resulting in
increases  in premiums  for medical  lines  coverage,  and in greater  revenues.
Management  believes  various  cost  control  initiatives  and the trend  toward
self-insured  plans have  stabilized  the price  spiral and have caused a recent
decline in the rate of increase in the cost of healthcare.

         Inflation can negatively impact insurance and reinsurance operations by
causing higher claims settlements than may have originally been estimated, while
not necessarily  allowing an immediate increase in premiums to a level

                                       10
<PAGE>

necessary  to maintain  profit  margins.  Historically,  the Company has made no
explicit  provisions  for  inflation,  but trends are  considered  when  setting
underwriting  terms  and  claim  reserves.  Such  reserves  are  subjected  to a
continuing internal and external review process to assess their adequacy and are
adjusted as deemed  appropriate.  Overall,  economic trends also affect interest
rates,  which in turn  affect  investment  income  and the  market  value of the
Company's investment portfolio.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company  utilizes cash from operations and maturing  investments to
meet its insurance  obligations to  policyholders  and claimants,  as well as to
meet operating  costs.  Primary sources of cash from operations  include premium
collections,  investment  income and commissions and fees. The principal uses of
cash from operations are for premium payments to insurance  companies,  payments
of claims under USF RE's and USFIC's  reinsurance and insurance  contracts,  and
operating expenses such as salaries, commissions, taxes and general overhead. As
discussed in Note 2 to the  Condensed  Consolidated  Financial  Statements,  the
Company  renegotiated its Credit Agreement  effective March 29, 1996. The Credit
Agreement with the Company's lender contains certain covenants, restrictions and
dividend  payment  limitations  with which the Company was in compliance at June
30, 1996.

         The Company  anticipates  that it will continue to generate  sufficient
cash flow from  operations to cover its  short-term  (1-18 months) and long-term
(18 months to 3 years)  liquidity  needs.  While the  Company  currently  has no
immediate  plans  for  significant  capital  outlays,   from  time  to  time  it
contemplates acquisition opportunities that complement its business operations.

         The Company currently invests primarily in the highest grades of bonds,
equities,  certificates of deposit and short-term instruments. At June 30, 1996,
99% of the fixed income portfolio was in securities rated A or better.  All such
securities are carried at quoted market values at the latest balance sheet date.
The Company does not invest in real estate, derivatives or high yield bonds.

LEGISLATIVE AND REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS

         As  described  in  prior  filings  with  the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission  ("Commission") by the Company,  various Federal and state healthcare
legislative  and  regulatory  proposals  which could  impact the  financing  and
delivery of healthcare continue to be considered.  The Company cannot predict at
this time what impact,  if any, adoption of any of these proposals would have on
the Company's business.  However,  based on its review of the latest information
it has received,  management  believes that adoption of such  proposals will not
have an adverse impact on the Company's business.

         Some of the  statements  included  within  Management's  Discussion and
Analysis of Financial  Condition and Results of Operations  and in the Condensed
Consolidated  Financial  Statements  and related  Notes may be  considered to be
forward  looking  statements (as that term is defined in the Private  Securities
Litigation  Reform Act of 1995),  and which are  subject  to  certain  risks and
uncertainties.  Among those  factors  which  could  cause the actual  results to
differ  materially  from those  suggested by such  statements are the following:
catastrophe losses in the Company's insurance lines or a material aggregation of
losses;  changes in  federal or state law  affecting  an  employer's  ability to
self-insure;  the availability of adequate retrocessional  insurance coverage at
appropriate prices; stock and bond market volatility; the effects of competitive
market pressures within the medical or property/casualty insurance marketplaces;
the effect of changes required by generally  accepted  accounting  principles or
statutory accounting  principles;  and other risks which are described from time
to time in the Company's filings with the Commission.

             INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REVIEW REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
US Facilities Corporation:

We have  reviewed the  condensed  consolidated  balance  sheet of US  Facilities
Corporation  and  subsidiaries  as of June 30, 1996,  and the related  condensed
consolidated  income  statements for the three-month and six-month periods ended
June 30, 1996 and 1995, and condensed consolidated  statements of cash flows for
the six-month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995. These condensed consolidated
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute  of  Certified  Public  Accountants.  A review  of  interim  financial
information consists principally of applying analytical  procedures to financial
data and making  inquiries of persons  responsible  for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with  generally  accepted  auditing  standards,  the  objective  of which is the
expression of an opinion  regarding the financial  statements  taken as a whole.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material  modifications that should
be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for
them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

We have  previously  audited,  in accordance  with generally  accepted  auditing
standards,  the  consolidated  balance  sheet of US Facilities  Corporation  and
subsidiaries  as of  December  31,  1995,  and the related  consolidated  income
statement,  statements of stockholders'  equity and cash flows for the year then
ended (not  presented  herein);  and in our report  dated  February 6, 1996,  we
expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.  In
our  opinion,   the  information  set  forth  in  the   accompanying   condensed
consolidated  balance  sheet as of December 31, 1995, is fairly  stated,  in all
material respects,  in relation to the consolidated  balance sheet from which it
has been derived.
