         granted at an exercise price of $9.32 to key employees of the Company
         who applied deferred bonuses expensed in 1995 (see (1) of Summary
         Compensation Table) to the exercise price, thereby reducing such price
         to $4.77 per share if exercised within the first year of grant.  The
         exercise price of these options decreases approximately 7% per year
         through 2000 and $.20 per share from 2001 through 2007 at which time
         the exercise price will be $1.95.  The options granted in 1995 under
         the 1993 and 1987 Stock Option Plans were granted at an exercise price

(1)      Number of exercisable shares and corresponding values relate to
         options granted under the 1993, 1991 and 1987 Stock Option Plans. The
         exercise price varies based upon the exercise price at the time of
         grant and the amount of deferred bonus applied by the officer to
         reduce the exercise price. See Summary Compensation Table above. The
         value of unexercised options at year-end is calculated as the
         difference between the market value of the underlying security, $16.94
         per share, and the exercise price of the option at year-end, less the
         bonus deferral. The exercise prices of the options at year-end were as
         follows:  (I) Mr. Foley -- options to purchase 6,600 shares at $4.773

         per share. These options became exercisable on April 17, 1996.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

        The Company entered into a five-year employment agreement (the
"Agreement") with its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Foley,
effective April 1, 1991 and entered into an amendment (the "Amendment") to the
employment agreement effective on April 1, 1996, for an additional five year
period through April 1, 2001.  The Amendment adjusted his minimum annual base
salary to $600,000.  The Board will review Mr. Foley's minimum base annual
salary in March 1998 and may in its sole discretion increase such minimum base
annual salary for the remainder of the term of the Amendment based upon Mr.
Foley's performance during the first two years of the Amendment.  The Agreement
and Amendment includes other compensation and executive fringe benefits,
including an annual merit bonus calculated based on the Company's return on
equity before extraordinary items, a $1,000,000 insurance policy payable to the
beneficiary of his choice and a joint life split dollar insurance arrangement
under which the Company advances the premiums and retains the full cash value
of the policy.  There is a change of control provision in the Amendment
enabling Mr. Foley to terminate this Agreement due to a change in control
during the period commencing 60 days and expiring 365 days after such change in
control.  In the event of termination of the Agreement for Good Reason (as
defined in the Agreement as a change in control) or if Mr. Foley's employment
is terminated following a change of control due to a breach of this Agreement
then he shall receive (i) his salary through the date of  termination, (ii)
severance pay in an amount equal to his annual salary in effect as of the date
of termination plus the total bonus paid or payable to him for the most recent
calendar year multiplied by the greater number of years remaining in the term
of employment, including partial years, such payment to be made in a lump sum
on or before the fifth day following the date of termination, (iii) maintenance
of all benefit plans and programs for Mr. Foley for the greater number of 3
years or the number of years (including partial years) remaining in the
Agreement.  The Company obtained a covenant from Mr. Foley that he will not
compete with the Company or disclose its trade secrets both during employment
or in the event the agreement ends or Mr. Foley's employment is terminated. The
agreement allows the Company to terminate Mr. Foley for cause under certain
circumstances.  Upon Mr. Foley's death, his estate will receive a payment in
the amount of two years' base salary. Upon incapacity or disability for a
continuous period of nine months, the Company may terminate the employment
contract with Mr. Foley upon payment of an amount equal to two years' base
salary.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

        Directors who are not employees of the Company receive $2,500 per Board
meeting attended (or $1,250 per committee meeting attended), plus reimbursement
of reasonable expenses. Directors who are employees of the Company do not
receive any compensation for acting as directors, except for reimbursement of
reasonable expenses, if any, for Board meeting attendance.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

        During 1995, Messrs. Thompson, Talbot and Lane served as members of the
Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee is currently composed of
three independent directors. No member of the Compensation Committee is a
former or current officer or employee of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries, and there are no interlocking directorships.

        Mr. Thompson has served as a member of the Compensation Committee since
March 1993. In March 1993, the Company issued and sold its Senior Secured Notes
in the aggregate principal amount of $22.5 million to certain institutional
investors in a private placement. Oppenheimer & Co., Inc. received
approximately $300,000 as a placement fee in connection with this transaction.
Mr. Thompson was employed by Oppenheimer & Co., Inc., until May of 1994.

        In April 1993, the Company issued 1,402,500 shares of its common stock
in a public offering in which Oppenheimer & Co., Inc. served as one of three
primary underwriters. Oppenheimer & Co., Inc. received a discount of
approximately 5.5% on the shares it purchased from the Company, which was an
underwriting discount consistent with industry practice.

         REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

        The following report of the Compensation Committee to the Board of
Directors shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any previous
filing by the Company under either the Securities Act of 1933 ("Securities
Act") or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act") that incorporates
future Securities Act or Exchange Act filings in whole or in part by reference.

To the Board of Directors:

GENERAL

        The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for
establishing and administering the policies that govern executive compensation
and benefit practices. The Compensation Committee evaluates the performance of
the executive officers and determines their compensation levels, in terms of
salary, annual bonus and related benefits, all subject to Board approval. The
Compensation Committee has access to independent compensation data for use in
assessing levels of compensation for officers of the Company.

COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY

        The Company's executive compensation programs are designed to (I)
provide levels of compensation that integrate pay and incentive plans with the
Company's strategic goals, so as to align the interests of executive management
with the long-term interests of the stockholders; (ii) motivate Company
executives to achieve the strategic business goals of the Company and to
recognize their individual contributions; and (iii) provide compensation
opportunities which are competitive to those offered by other national title
insurance companies and other middle-market corporations similar in size and
performance. Although the exact identity of the corporations surveyed varies,
these generally include title companies and other corporations equal to or
larger than the Company. Most of the title companies surveyed are included in
the Peer Group Index utilized in the "Performance Graph" set forth below.

        Therefore, the Compensation Committee believes that the components of
executive compensation should include base salary, annual cash bonus, stock
option grants and other benefits and should be linked to individual and Company
performance. With regard to the Company's performance, the measures used for
determining appropriate levels of compensation for executive officers include
the Company's national market share, net margin, quality of service, meeting
strategic goals within the current economic climate and industry environment,
scope of responsibilities, expansion by acquisition or otherwise, profit
retention and profitability, all of which combine to enhance stockholder value.

BASE SALARY

        The Committee considers Company management proposals concerning salary
adjustments for executive officers, with the exception of Mr. Foley, its
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, whose compensation was established under
the terms of an employment agreement entered into in 1991 and amended in 1996
with the approval of the Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee then
makes recommendations to the entire Board of Directors for their approval.

        In determining base salaries for executives for 1995, the Compensation
Committee considered the Company's earnings, outside surveys of salary levels
of other title insurance companies and other similar corporations, individual
performance and achievement, areas of responsibility, position tenure and
internal comparability. Salaries of certain executive officers were adjusted in
1995.

ANNUAL CASH BONUSES

        Executive officers of the Company are eligible for annual bonuses which
may be paid in the form of cash or as deferred compensation. Given the
Company's performance in 1994, the Compensation Committee approved bonuses for
the executives during 1995.
<PAGE>   11
STOCK OPTION GRANTS

        As indicated above, an important element of the Company's compensation
philosophy is the desire to align the interests of the executive officers with
the long-term interests of the Company's stockholders. In order to meet this
desire, the Board of Directors adopted a performance-based stock option plan in
1991 for executive officers, key employees and branch managers of the Company
that allows participants to defer a portion of their bonus income in order to
reduce their option exercise price. Additionally, the Company's Board of
Directors and stockholders had previously approved the adoption of the
Company's 1987 Stock Option Plan, pursuant to which the Company may grant stock
options to certain key employees and non-employee directors or officers, and in
1994 the Board of Directors and stockholders approved the 1993 Stock Plan
pursuant to which the Company may grant stock options to certain key employees
and nonemployee directors and officers. The purpose of these plans is to
attract, retain and award executive officers and directors and to furnish
incentives to these persons to improve operations, increase profits and
positively impact the Company's long-term performance. Consistent with these
objectives, the Compensation Committee has approved the granting of options in
1995 concerning the year 1994 to executive officers (i) under the 1991 Stock
Option Plan as follows: Mr. Foley, options to purchase 6,600 shares; Mr.
Willey, options to purchase 2,200 shares;  Mr. Stone, options to purchase 2,200
shares; Mr. Strunk, options to purchase 4,400 shares; (ii) under the 1987
Stock Option Plan as follows: Mr. Foley, options to purchase 165,000 shares;
Mr. Willey, options to purchase 44,000 shares; Mr. Strunk, options to purchase
22,000 shares; (iii) under the 1993 Plan as follows: Mr.  Koll, options to
purchase 5,500 shares; Mr. Quirk, options to purchase 16,500 shares; and Mr.
Puzder, options to purchase 55,000 shares.

April 24, 1996                                  Compensation Committee:

                               PERFORMANCE GRAPH

        Set forth below is a graph comparing cumulative total stockholder
return on the Company's common stock against the cumulative total return on the
S & P 500 Index and against the cumulative total return of a peer group index
comprised of certain companies for the industry in which the Company competes
(SIC code 6361 -- Title Insurance) for the five-year period ending December 31,
1995. This peer group consists of the following companies: Alleghany
Corporation, Capital Guaranty Corporation, First American Financial
Corporation, Investors Title Insurance Company, Lawyers Title Corporation and
Stewart Information Services Corp. The peer group comparison has been weighted
based on the Company's stock market capitalization. The graph assumes an
initial investment of $100.00 on January 1, 1991, with dividends reinvested
over the periods indicated.

BOARD MEETINGS AND COMMITTEES

        The Board of Directors held a total of four formal meetings during the
year ended December 31, 1995. No director attended fewer than 100% of the
aggregate of all meetings of the Board of Directors or any committee in 1995.

        The Board presently has an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee
and an Executive Committee, but does not have a Nominating Committee.  The
Audit Committee, which consists of Messrs. Lane, Mahood and Talbot, met one
time during 1995. The Audit Committee meets independently with the internal
audit staff, representatives of the Company's independent auditors and
representatives of senior management. The Audit Committee reviews the general
scope of the Company's annual audit, the fee charged by the independent
auditors and other matters relating to internal control systems. In addition,
the Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing and monitoring the performance
of non-audit services by the Company's auditors. The Committee is also
responsible for recommending the engagement or discharge of the Company's
independent auditors.

        The Compensation Committee currently consists of Messrs. Lane, Talbot
and Thompson. The Compensation Committee, either alone or in conjunction with
other Board committees, reviews and reports to the Board the salary, fee and
benefit programs designed for senior management, officers and directors with a
view to ensure that the Company is attracting and retaining highly-qualified
individuals through competitive salary, fee and benefit programs and
encouraging continued extraordinary effort through incentive rewards. The
Compensation Committee met one time during 1995.

        The Company also has an Executive Committee consisting of Messrs.
Foley, Willey and Talbot. The Executive Committee may invoke all of  the power
and authority of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and
the affairs of the Company, except those powers which, by law, cannot be
delegated by the Board of Directors. The Executive Committee did not meet
during 1995.

ITEM 13.   CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

        The Company previously made investments in real property for investment
or operating purposes, most of which, as described below, were in partnerships
which included one or more officers of the Company.  All such transactions were
approved by a majority of the non-interested directors of the Company. The
Company believes these transactions were for terms and at rates no less
favorable to the Company than those which could have been obtained from
unrelated parties.  As previously announced, the Company intends to reduce and
divest itself of real estate investments as market conditions permit.

        The Company currently leases five of its facilities from partnerships
or other entities in which Manchester, or one or more of its officers have an
interest. These transactions are discussed below with respect to "Investments
in Partnerships" and "Transactions with Management and Others," respectively.
The Company believes that all such leases were on terms no less favorable than
those that could have then been obtained from unrelated parties.

        Manchester has interests in, or acts as property manager for, the
following real estate partnerships in which one or more officers of the Company
have an interest. Certain officers of the Company have made contributions to
these partnerships in exchange for partnership interests that cannot be valued
until the dissolution of each individual partnership. Fidelity Title is a
tenant in certain of the properties owned by the partnerships discussed below.

INVESTMENTS IN PARTNERSHIPS

        Folco Mission Valley Partners Limited Partnership ("Folco Mission
Valley") was formed in 1991 by Folco Development Corporation ("Folco"), a
corporation of which Mr. Foley and his spouse are the sole stockholders, as a
78% general partner, and Fidelity National Title Insurance Company ("Fidelity
Title"), as a 22% limited partner, for the purpose of acquiring from the
Resolution Trust Corporation an office building in San Diego County where
Fidelity Title was the sole tenant and conducted its San Diego County,
California title operations. Folco's 78% general partnership interest was
assigned to Sussex Holdings, Ltd. ("Sussex"), an affiliate of Folco, in June
1992 and Fidelity Title's 22% limited partnership interest was assigned to
Manchester in January 1992. Fidelity Title continues to lease the building for
$28,272 per month, plus taxes, insurance and other operating costs. This annual
rental rate is a 30% discount based on its lease with Folco Mission Valley.

        Goodyear Investors II General Partnership ("Goodyear II") was formed in
1986 by Manchester as a 50% partner, Folco as a 32.5% partner, Mr. Willey as a
2% partner, and others, to purchase, for investment, unimproved real property
located in Maricopa County, Arizona. Manchester's interest in Goodyear II was
transferred to the Company in June, 1993.  As of March 31, 1996, Manchester,
Kensington Development Corporation ("Kensington"), which is 90% owned by
Manchester and 10% by Fidelity National Title Insurance Company of California
("Fidelity California") and the Company have contributed $1,025,000 to Goodyear
II.  Kensington held this interest from 1988 to March 1996. The Company may be
required to make annual contributions of its pro rata share of property taxes
and insurance costs. All general partners have made their required pro rata
capital contributions. The Company and the other general partners received pro
rata capital distributions in March 1995.
<PAGE>   16
        Prospect Office Partners Limited Partnership ("Prospect Office
Partners") was formed in 1988 by Manchester as a combined 29.7% general and
limited partner, Mr. Foley as a 30.4% general partner, Mr. Willey as a 6.1%
general partner, and others, to develop an office building in Tustin,
California.  Currently Manchester is a 41.62% general partner and a 28.38%
limited partner due to assignments of interests by other general and limited
partners.  Mr. Foley and Mr. Willey no longer have any partnership interests in
Prospect.  Approximately one-half of the building is leased by Fidelity Title
for its Orange County title operations. Manchester advanced to the partnership,
at an interest rate of 12% per annum, amounts necessary to fund operating
deficits. These advances were assigned to the Company in June 1993. The
outstanding balance of these advances at December 31, 1995, was $1,065,338 (the
largest amount outstanding during 1995).  The outstanding balance of these
advances at March 31, 1996, was $1,065,338. The lease provides for a monthly
rent payment of $31,900.

        Tustin Retail Limited Partnership ("Tustin Retail") was formed in 1988
by Manchester as a combined 30% general and limited partner, Mr. Foley as a
30.7% general partner, Mr. Willey as a 4.3% general partner, and others, to
develop a retail center in Tustin, California.  Manchester advanced to the
partnership, at an interest rate of 12% per annum, amounts necessary to fund
operating deficits. The outstanding balance of these advances at December 31,
1995, and March 31, 1996, was $736,184.  In addition, Tustin Retail is indebted
to Manchester in the amount of $303,500 which is evidenced by a promissory note
which provides for interest at 12% per annum and is secured by a second trust
deed on the property. These advances and loans were assigned to the Company in
June 1993.  In August 1994, CommerceBank filed a lawsuit (the "Lawsuit")
against Tustin Retail (a real estate partnership), Manchester (a general
partner in Tustin Retail) and Messrs. Foley and Willey (as general partners).
The Lawsuit is essentially a judicial foreclosure under a deed of trust
securing a $4,350,000 note dated February 18, 1992, to CommerceBank from Tustin
Retain (the "Note").  In December 1995, the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation, which took control of CommerceBank, submitted a bid at the
property foreclosure auction and acquired the property for $2.9 million.  A
fair value hearing is scheduled for June 1996, in order to determine the
remaining amount due under the Note, if any.  The defendants believe that the
value of the real property subject to the deed of trust securing the Note is
substantiating such value.  The defendants believe that the value of the real
property subject to the deed of trust securing the Fidelity Title leases
approximately 33% of the building for its operations. The leases for this space
provide for a monthly lease payment of $20,100.

        West Woodland Business Associates Limited Partnership ("West Woodland")
was formed in 1989 by Manchester as a 10% general partner, Mr. Foley as a 21.3%
general partner, Folco as a combined 20% general and limited partner, Mr.
Willey as a 2.5% general partner, and others, to develop an office building in
Woodland, California. In September 1991, Manchester sold its interest in the
partnership to Folco. See "Transactions with Management and Others" below.
Folco's interest was subsequently assigned to Sussex. Approximately one-half of
the building is leased by Fidelity California for its Yolo County title
operations. The lease provides for a monthly lease payment of $11,032.  In
March 1994, the lender on this project agreed to a modification of the credit
agreement substituting Sussex for Manchester and releasing Manchester from
these obligations. As of December 31, 1995, Manchester had not been released
from its general partnership obligation under the West Woodland Credit
Agreement.

        During 1994, the Company paid $2.3 million in order to acquire a 100%
ownership interest in an investment property at 7750 East Broadway, Tucson,
Arizona. The $2.3 million purchase price consisted of an $800,000 payment in
July 1994, for the 37.5% interest of two independent third parties, and a $1.5
million payment in September 1994, to satisfy the then existing debt on the
property.  Mr. Foley and his affiliates and Mr. Willey held interests in the
amounts of 57.3% and 5.2%, respectively, in the property at the time of the
acquisition. Mr. Foley and Mr. Willey transferred their interests to the
Company without consideration upon satisfaction of the debt. The Company sold
the property for a sales price of $2.4 million. See "Transactions with
Management and Others" below. Approximately one-third of the building is leased
by Fidelity Title's Pima County title operations. The lease provides for a
monthly lease payment of $23,600.

        Wilmac III Limited Partnership ("Wilmac III") was formed in 1987 to
acquire for investment unimproved real property in Maricopa County, Arizona. In
December 1987, Manchester acquired a 24% limited partnership interest in Wilmac
III, 30% of the limited partnership units. Mr. Willey has a 8.2% combined
general and limited partnership interest and Mr. Strunk has a 1.6% limited
partnership interest. The partnership agreement requires all the limited
partners to make pro rata capital contributions to service the debt on the
property. Manchester has invested $696,000 in the partnership. Manchester's
interest was assigned to the Company in June 1993. It is not anticipated that
additional capital contributions will be required of the Company.

TRANSACTIONS WITH MANAGEMENT AND OTHERS

        In September 1991, Manchester sold 11 office buildings (the "office
buildings"), its partnership interest in West Woodland and Tucson Partners and
certain notes receivable to Folco for approximately the net book value of these
assets. The Company believes the amount paid approximated the fair market value
of these assets. This transaction resulted in a receivable to Manchester from
Folco evidenced by a promissory note in the original principal amount of
$1,492,000 and secured by subordinate deeds of trust on the office buildings
acquired. The promissory note provides for interest at the rate of 9.5% per
annum, monthly payments of $13,900 and additional payments of 15% of the net
sale proceeds of each office building subject to a subordinate deed of trust.
In June 1992, Folco assigned its interest in these office buildings to Bilcar
Limited Partnership ("Bilcar"), an affiliate of Folco. The unpaid balance of
this promissory note at December 31, 1995, was $587,361.

        Prior to the sale, the office buildings were leased to Fidelity Title
for use in its title operations. All but one of these office buildings have
been sold to unaffiliated third parties in each instance.  During 1995,
Fidelity Title continued to lease one of the office buildings from Bilcar under
lease agreements entered into in 1991 at the time of the sale and paid Bilcar
$51,624 under these lease agreements.

        In July 1990, Lake Mortgage Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of
the Company, made a $300,000 secured loan to a relative of Mr. Willey. The
loan was assigned to Fidelity Title in July 1990. This loan has been purchased
by Mr. Willey for full consideration.
