            FIDELITY  NATIONAL  FINANCIAL,  INC.  AND  SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note B - Dividends

On June 20, 1995, the Company's Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of
$.07 per share, payable on July 21, 1995, to stockholders of record on July 11,

Note C - Authorization To Repurchase Common Stock and LYONs

On March 9, 1995, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized
the additional repurchase, in the open market or in privately negotiated
transactions, of up to 2 million shares of its common stock, or a comparable
amount of the Company's Liquid Yield Option Notes (the "LYONs").  This is in
addition to the 5 million shares or a comparable amount of LYONs previously
authorized for repurchase by the Board of Directors -- 1 million shares on
March 31, 1994, 1 million shares on June 14, 1994, and an additional 3 million
shares on August 11, 1994.  Any shares repurchased will initially be held by

corporate purposes or held in treasury.  As of August 10, 1995, the Company had
repurchased 4,651,957 shares of its common stock for an aggregate price of
$55.7 million, or $11.98 per share.  Additionally, as of August 10, 1995, the
Company had repurchased $48 million in maturity amount of LYONs for an
aggregate price of $17.6 million, all of which were purchased in 1994.


Note D - Acquisitions

On March 8, 1995, the Company acquired the common stock of Western Title
Company of Washington, an underwritten title agency with operations in King
County (Seattle) and Snohomish County (Everett) in the state of Washington.
Western Title Company of Washington was acquired from its selling shareholder
for $3.2 million in cash.  In addition, the Company also acquired an option to
purchase a title plant in Pierce County (Tacoma), Washington.  The acquired
company operates as a subsidiary of the Company in King and Snohomish Counties
under the name Fidelity National Title Company of Washington.  The acquisition
has been accounted for as a purchase.

On May 2, 1995, the Company acquired the common stock of Butte County Title
Company, an underwritten title agency with operations in Butte County in the
state of California.  Butte County Title Company was acquired from its selling
shareholders for $400,000 in cash.  The acquired company operates as a
subsidiary of the Company in Butte County.  The acquisition has been accounted
for as a purchase.

On June 14, 1995 the Company acquired certain assets of World Title Company
("WTC") for a purchase price to be determined based on the collection of
certain accounts.  In the case of trade accounts receivable acquired, the
Company will retain 15% of amounts collected subsequent to the acquisition date
and will remit the remaining 85% to the Department of Insurance of the State of
California ("Department").  The Company has also acquired the open title orders
of WTC as of the purchase date.  The Company will retain 66.5% of amounts
collected subsequent to the acquisition date and will remit the remaining 33.5%
to the Department.





                                       7
<PAGE>   8
On June 19, 1995 the Company announced that it had entered into a letter of
intent with Nations Holding Group to acquire one hundred percent of Nations
Title Inc., a Kansas corporation.  Nations Title Inc., together with its wholly
owned subsidiaries Nations Title Insurance Company, Nations Title Insurance of
New York Inc. and National Title Insurance of New York Inc., is the eighth
largest title insurance underwriter and is in the business of underwriting and
issuing title insurance policies and performing title related services such as
escrow and trust activities in 49 states, Puerto Rico, Guam and the Virgin
Islands.

Under the terms of the letter of intent, Fidelity National Financial will
acquire one hundred percent of the outstanding stock of Nations Title Inc. from
its sole shareholder, Nations Holding Group, for a purchase price in cash and
Fidelity National Financial common stock equal to Nations Title Inc.'s adjusted
book value determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.

On June 22, 1995 the Company acquired 100% of the common stock of World Tax
Service ("World Tax") from WTC Financial, the parent company of WTC, for $1.8
million.  The Company had previously executed an Asset Option Agreement
("Agreement") with WTC Financial to acquire an option to purchase a 60%
undivided interest in all of the assets of World Tax.  In connection with the
Agreement, WTC Financial was granted an option to purchase 100,000 shares of
the Company's common stock at $14.50 per share.  The option to purchase shares
was acquired from WTC Financial as part of the World Tax transaction.  This
transaction has been accounted for as a purchase.


         Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
                  and Results of Operations

Total revenue for the second quarter of 1995 decreased 26.7% to $95.5 million
from $130.3 million in the second quarter of 1994 as a result of the
significant decline in refinancing activity and a stagnation in residential
resale and new home sale markets.  This market downturn can be attributed to
the steady increase in mortgage interest rates which resulted from actions
taken by the Federal Reserve Board during 1994.  The slowdown in real estate
activity has caused a decrease in title orders and, thus, a reduction in title
premiums, escrow fees and other title related revenue.  In addition, it appears
that the real estate/title insurance markets are returning to a seasonal nature
in which the six-month period ended June 30 has historically been the slowest.
Total revenue for the six-month period ended June 30, 1995 has decreased 34.8%
to $178.6 million from $273.9 million for the six-month period ended June 30,
1994.

Interest and investment income decreased 28.6% to $3.5 million in the second
quarter of 1995 from $4.9 million in the second quarter of 1994.  Interest and
investment income for the six-month period ended June 30, 1995 decreased 31.4%
to $5.9 million from $8.6 million for the comparable 1994 period.  The decrease
in interest and investment income earned during the 1995 periods is primarily
due to a decrease in average invested assets compared to the same periods in
1994.  Net realized gains from the sale of investments were $510,000 in the
second quarter of 1995 and $360,000 in the corresponding 1994 period.  Also
included in the second quarter of 1994 interest and investment income amount is
a net gain on the early retirement of Liquid Yield Option Notes (LYONs) of
$891,000.  Net realized gains for the six-month periods ended June 30, 1995 and
1994, excluding the gain related to the LYONs, were $109,000 and $500,000,
respectively.

The Company's operating expenses consist primarily of personnel costs and other
operating expenses which are incurred as title insurance orders are received
and processed.  Title insurance premiums and escrow fees are recognized as
income at the time the underlying real estate transaction closes.  As a result,
revenue lags approximately 60-90 days behind expenses and, therefore, gross
margins may fluctuate.

Personnel costs include both base salaries and commissions paid to employees
and are the most significant operating expense incurred by the Company.  These
costs generally fluctuate with the level of direct orders opened and closed and
with the mix of revenue between direct and agency operations.  Personnel costs,
as a percentage of total revenue, have increased to 41.5% for the three-month
period ended June 30, 1995 from 35.7% for the corresponding period in 1994.  As
a result of the reduction in title orders and title related business, the
Company has taken significant measures to maintain appropriate personnel costs
relative to revenue, as indicated in the decrease in personnel costs of
approximately $6.9 million, or 14.8%, between the second quarters of 1995 and
1994.  Personnel costs as a percentage of total revenue for the six-month





                                       8
<PAGE>   9
period ended June 30, 1995 have increased to 41.6% from 35.9% for the
corresponding 1994 period.  However, personnel costs have decreased $24.1
million or 24.5% in the six-month period ended June 30, 1995 compared to the
same period in 1994.  The Company continues to monitor prevailing market
conditions and will adjust its personnel levels as necessary, while positioning
itself to take advantage of a real estate recovery as it occurs.

Other operating expenses consist primarily of facilities expenses, title plant
maintenance, premium taxes (which insurance underwriters are required to pay on
title premiums in lieu of franchise and other state taxes), escrow losses,
courier services, computer services, professional services, general insurance,
trade and notes receivable allowances and depreciation.  Other operating
expenses increased as a percentage of total revenue to 29.9% in the second
quarter of 1995 from 25.5% in the second quarter of 1994.  Other operating
expenses as a percentage of total revenue for the six-month period ended June
30, 1995 have increased to 30.2% from 24.0% in 1994.  In response to the
current market environment, the Company has implemented aggressive cost control
programs which will help maintain operating expense levels consistent with the
levels of title related revenue production.  However, certain fixed costs are
incurred regardless of revenue levels which resulted in the percentage
increases.

Agent commissions represent the portion of policy premiums retained by agents
pursuant to the terms of their respective agency contracts.  Agent commissions
were 75.0% of agency premiums in the second quarter of 1995 compared to 77.1%
of agency premiums in the second quarter of 1994, and 76.1% and 77.0% of agency
premiums for the six-month periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

The provision for claim losses includes an estimate of anticipated title claims
and major claims.  The estimate of anticipated title claims is accrued as a
percentage of title premium revenue based on the Company's historical loss
experience and other relevant factors.  The Company monitors its claims
experience on a continual basis and adjusts the provision for claim losses
accordingly.  The Company believes, based on its loss development studies, that
it will maintain the trend of favorable claim loss experience as a result of
its underwriting and claims handling practices, as well as the refinancing
business of prior years.  Based on the Company's loss experience, in 1995 the
Company has provided for claim losses at 7.0% of title insurance premiums prior
to the impact of major claim expense and recoupments.  Application of these
factors resulted in a net provision for claim losses as a percentage of
premiums of 6.8% and 8.0% for the three-month periods ended June 30, 1995 and
1994, respectively, and 6.9% and 8.1% for the six-month periods ended June 30,
1995 and 1994, respectively.

Interest expense is incurred by the Company in financing its capital asset
purchases and certain acquisitions.  Interest expense consists of interest
related to the Company's outstanding debt and the amortization of original
issue discount and debt issuance costs related to the LYONs issued in February
1994.  Interest expense of "non-LYONs" debt totaled $965,000 and $550,000 for
the three-month periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively, and $2.2
million and $1.7 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 1995 and
1994, respectively.  The LYONs related component of interest expense amounted
to $1.2 million for the second quarter of 1995 and $1.5 million for the second
quarter of 1994, and $2.4 million and $2.2 million for the six-month periods
ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  Interest expense and amortization
expense increased in 1995 over 1994 primarily as a result of the LYONs offering
and an increase in the average outstanding balance of a certain subsidiary's
equipment outstanding debt.  Increases in the prime interest rate, to which
certain of the interest rates paid by the Company are indexed, also resulted in
increased interest expense in 1995 over 1994.

Income tax expense (benefit) for the three-month periods ended June 30, 1995
and 1994, as a percentage of earnings (loss) before income taxes, was 22.8% and
31.5%, respectively and (52.0%) and 31.5% for the six-month periods ended June
30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  The 1995 benefit for the six-month period
ended June 30, 1995 includes the impact of the extraordinary loss on
extinguishment of debt.  These fluctuations are primarily the result of the
significant tax exempt component of the Company's investment portfolio and the
related tax consequences of tax exempt income when the Company is not
generating operating income.

In order to reduce interest expense incurred and interest rates paid, the
Company determined to prepay the Senior Secured Notes (the "Senior Notes")
issued in March 1993.  Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Senior Note
Agreement, the Company has provided for the Make Whole Provision, as defined,
and related expenses in the





                                       9

first quarter of 1995.  This amount, $1.25 million, before related income
taxes, has been reflected as an extraordinary item in the Condensed
Consolidated Statement of Operations for the six-month period ended June 30,
1995.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's insurance subsidiaries collect premiums and pay claims and
operating expenses.  Fluctuations in operating cash flows are primarily the
result of increases or decreases in revenue.  The insurance subsidiaries also
have cash flow sources derived from investment income, repayments of principal
and proceeds from sales and maturities of investments and dividends and
distributions from subsidiaries.  Positive cash flow from insurance
subsidiaries is invested primarily in short term investments and medium term
bonds.  Short term investments held by the Company's insurance subsidiaries
provide liquidity for projected claims and operating expenses.

As a holding company, the Company receives cash from its subsidiaries as
reimbursement for operating and other administrative expenses it incurs.  The
reimbursements are executed within the guidelines of various management
agreements between the holding company and its subsidiaries.  The Company's
cash requirements include debt service, operating expenses, taxes and dividends
on its common stock.  The Company believes that all anticipated cash
requirements for current operations will be met from internally generated funds
and short term bank borrowings through existing credit facilities.

One of the additional significant sources of the Company's funds is dividend
and other distributions from its insurance subsidiaries.  The insurance
subsidiaries are restricted by state regulations in their ability to pay
dividends and make distributions.  Each state of domicile regulates the extent
to which the Company's six title underwriters can pay dividends or make other
distributions to the Company.

The short and long term liquidity requirements of the Company and insurance
subsidiaries are monitored regularly to match cash inflows with cash
requirements.  The Company and insurance subsidiaries forecast their daily cash
needs and periodically review their short and long term projected sources and
uses of funds, as well as the asset, liability, investment and cash flow
assumptions underlying these projections.
