of the Shares were borrowed and all Shares which were acquired by each of the

filing persons is as detailed and specified in Item 5 hereinbelow.

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
- -------------------------------

        Each of the filing persons has purchased Shares of FNF for investment
purposes only.
        
        Those alternatives available to the filing persons in connection with
FNF securities include the making of further acquisitions of Shares from one or
more sellers, either through open market purchases or in privately negotiated
transaction, and disposing of all or any portion of the Shares of FNF common
stock held by all or any of the filing persons to one or more purchasers, either
through open market or in privately negotiated transactions. None of the filing
persons nor Mr. Richard H. Pickup has any present plans in connection with any
of the foregoing, however, none of the foregoing actions nor any of the
following described actions by any of the filing persons or Mr. Richard H.
Pickup can be ruled out in the future for either the short or long term.

        Further, none of the filing persons or Mr. Pickup has any present plans
or proposals which may relate to or result in:

        A. The acquisition or disposition by any reporting person of any
additional securities of the issuer or the disposition of securities of the
issuer.

        B. An extraordinary corporate transaction, such a merger,
reorganization or liquidation involving the issuer or any of its subsidiaries.

        F. Any material change in the issuer's business or corporate structure.

        G. Changes in the issuer's charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding
thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the

inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association.

ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

        The interest in the securities of FNF held by each of the filing and
reporting persons is as reported below. It is to be noted that the percentage
of interest holdings is based upon FNF's most recent Securities and Exchange
Commission filing of its Form 10-Q as filed September 30, 1997. Said filing
reported that there were 16,276,072 shares outstanding as of November 11, 1997.
Filing persons are uncertain as to whether such outstanding shares figure
includes certain of those shares received as a stock dividend after January 1,
1998, and in the event such figure does not include such reported stock
dividend made to all holders of shares, it is assumed that the outstanding
shares are greater and therefore the relative percentage holdings of each of
the reported person is somewhat less than the figures reported herein.

        Based upon the total number of 16,276,062 shares of FNF outstanding,
the interest in the securities held by each of the reporting person is:

        A.  Dito-Devcar Corporation is the beneficial and record owner 880,000
Shares. The Corporation's holdings of Shares constitute approximately 5.41% of
all of the outstanding FNF Shares based upon 16,276,062 shares outstanding.

        B.  Pickup Family Trust is the beneficial and record holder of 275,000
Shares of FNF Shares, which Shares constitute approximately 1.68% of the
outstanding Shares of common stock of FNF based upon 16,276,062 shares
outstanding.

        C.  DRP Charitable Unitrust is the beneficial and record holder of
33,000 Shares of FNF Shares, which Shares constitute approximately .21% of the
outstanding Shares of common stock of FNF based upon 16,276,062 shares
outstanding.

        D.  TMP Charitable Unitrust is the beneficial and record holder of
33,000 Shares of FNF Shares, which Shares constitute approximately .21% of the
outstanding Shares of common stock of FNF based upon 16,276,062 shares
outstanding.

        E.  Dito-Caree, L.P. is the beneficial and record holder of 211,000
Shares of FNF Shares, which Shares constitute approximately 1.29% of the
outstanding Shares of common stock of FNF based upon 16,276,062 shares
outstanding.

        F.  Pickup Charitable Remainder Unitrust II is the beneficial and record
holder of 55,000 Shares of FNF Shares, which Shares constitute approximately
 .34% of the outstanding Shares of common stock of FNF based upon 16,276,062
shares outstanding.

        G.  TD Investment is the beneficial and record holder of 55,000 Shares
of FNF Shares, which Shares constitute approximately .34% of the outstanding
Shares of common stock of FNF based upon 16,276,062 shares outstanding.

        F.  Dito Devcar, L.P. is the beneficial and record holder of 55,000
Shares of FNF Shares, which Shares constitute approximately .34% of the
outstanding Shares of common stock of FNF based upon 16,276,062 shares
outstanding.

        I.  As noted above Mr. Richard Pickup owns no Shares of FNF
beneficially or of record.

        All of the reporting persons currently hold a combined total of
1,597,000 Shares of FNF or a 9.82% of all Shares of FNF based on 16,276,062
Shares of outstanding Shares of common stock.

        On or about January 14, 1998, each of the reporting entities received a
10% stock dividend which was declared and delivered by FNF which resulted in
those entities receiving additional shares as follows:

                Pickup Family Trust                     25,000
                DRP Charitable Unitrust                  3,000
                TMP Charitable Unitrust                  3,000
                Pickup Charitable Unitrust II            5,000
                Dito Devcar L.P.                         5,000
                TD Investments                           5,000
</TABLE>

        In addition to the stock dividend reported above, the following
reported entities did engage in transactions involving FNF securities within
the last sixty days.
