NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL DATA

The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet included in the Fidelity
National Financial, Inc. Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as of and for the three
month period ended March 31, 2000 filed May 15, 2000, has been prepared
including the impact of the merger of Chicago Title Corporation with and into
Fidelity National, Financial, Inc. The Merger has been accounted for using the
purchase method of accounting.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statement of Operations for the three months
ended March 31, 2000 and the Unaudited Combined Pro Forma Statement of Earnings
for the year ended December 31, 1999, have been prepared including the impact of
the merger of Chicago Title Corporation with and into Fidelity National,
Financial, Inc., as if the Merger had been consummated on January 1, 2000 and
January 1, 1999, respectively. The Merger has been accounted for using the
purchase method of accounting. The Pro Forma Combined Financial Data are
provided for comparative purposes only. They do not purport to be indicative of
the results that actually would have occurred if the acquisition had been
consummated on the dates indicated or the results that may be obtained in the
future.

     $590.5 million at an interest rate of 7.69% and the amortization of merger
     related debt issuance costs of approximately $10.2 million using the
     effective interest method over six years.

(2)  Represents incremental amortization of cost in excess of net assets
     acquired necessary to reflect amortization of merger related cost in excess
     of net assets acquired of approximately $729.8 million on a straight line
     basis over twenty years.

(3)  Reflects income tax benefit of interest expense and amortization of debt
     issuance costs at an expected marginal tax rate of forty percent.

(4)  Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share have been calculated assuming
     the issuance of approximately 38.8 million shares in connection with the
     merger and the conversion of outstanding Chicago Title Corporation dilutive
     securities to a basis consistent with Fidelity National Financial, Inc.
     dilutive securities.
