                  COMDATA HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


1.        The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of Comdata 
Holdings Corporation ("Comdata", or the "Company") and its wholly-owned 
subsidiary, Comdata Network, Inc. ("Network").  Comdata has no operations
except for its ownership of Network.  Network is the obligor for all of the
debt instruments included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

          The accompanying unaudited financial statements include all
adjustments (which are of a normal recurring nature) that are, in the opinion
of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim
period presented.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and
regulations.  The statements should be read in conjunction with the Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
included in the Company's annual report for the year ended December 31, 1993.

          Because of seasonal and other factors, the earnings for the three 
month periods ended March 31, 1994 and 1993 should not be taken as an 
indication of earnings for all or any part of the balance of the year.

2.        On April 6, 1994, Network acquired the net assets of a business 
engaged in providing gaming cash advance services.  The purchase price 
consisted of $3.0 million in cash paid at closing, and up to an additional $.9
million depending upon the future results of the acquired operations.  The
acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase, and the results of operations
of the acquired business will be included in the consolidated financial
statements from the effective date of the acquisition.  The purchase price will
be allocated to the net assets acquired based on their fair values.  The prior
results of operations of the acquired business are not material to these of the
Company.

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

          The Company's services may be separated into the following groups:  
funds transfer and related services for the trucking industry; cash advance 
services in the gaming industry; and retail check payment services.  The 
following table sets forth revenues in each of these areas for the three months 
ended March 31, 1994 and 1993.

                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

          Revenue increased from $49.0 million in the first quarter of 1993 to 
$57.4 million in the first quarter of 1994, an increase of $8.4 million, or 
17.1%.  Transportation services revenue increased by $5.4 million, or 18.8%, 
during the first quarter.  Within transportation services, the largest revenue 
growth came from funds transfer services, which increased by $3.1 million, or 
18.1%.  In December 1993, Network acquired Saunders, Inc. ("Saunders"), a 
supplier of fuel purchase,  funds transfer, fuel tax, licensing and permit 
services to the trucking industry.  This acquisition accounted for $1.5 million 
of the revenue growth in funds transfer services, with the remainder of the 
growth due to an increase in the number of transactions.

          Permit services revenue increased from $5.9 million in the first 
quarter of 1993 to $7.0 million in the first quarter of 1994, an increase of 
$1.1 million, or 20.0%.  This increase is primarily due to the acquisition of 
Saunders.

          Telecommunications services revenue increased by $0.3 million, or 
6.1%, compared to the first quarter of 1993, primarily due to new business
added during 1993.


                                      6
<PAGE>   7
          Revenue from other transportation services increased by $0.9 million, 
or 58.6%.  The acquisition of Saunders increased these revenues by 
approximately $0.3 million.  Revenues from software sales, a service added
during 1993, contributed an additional $0.2 million during 1994.

          Gaming services revenue increased during the first quarter of 1994 by 
$3.2 million, or 18.4%, primarily due to increases in the number of 
transactions at gaming establishments.  Growth in gaming at nontraditional
locations, such as riverboats and Indian reservations, has helped increase
these transactions.  These increases have offset the effects of a reduction in
revenue from nongaming locations resulting from MasterCard and VISA regulations
limiting the Company's ability to do business in nongaming locations.  Revenues
from nongaming locations were approximately $0.6 million lower during the first
quarter of 1994.

          Revenue from retail services decreased by $0.2 million, or 7.4%, 
during the first quarter.  During 1993, the Company was notified that it would 
lose its largest retail customer.  There will be approximately $2.0 million in 
annual revenue which will have to be replaced, or total revenue in retail will 
decline.  The decline in retail revenue during the first quarter is the result 
of the loss of this customer.

          Salaries and employee benefits increased by $1.4 million, or 10.9%, 
during the first quarter, primarily due to a $1.2 million increase resulting 
from the Saunders acquisition.  Sales commissions increased by approximately 
$0.2 million as a result of the revenue increases in transportation and gaming 
services.

          Agent commissions increased from $6.2 million during the first 
quarter of 1993 to $9.3 million during the first quarter of 1994, an increase
of $3.1 million, or 50.5%.  These commissions are paid to locations offering
gaming cash advance services.  This increase was the result of increases in the
number of gaming transactions, as discussed above, and increases in the rates
paid for these commissions, in response to competitive pressures.

          Telecommunications expense was approximately $6.3 million in both the 
first quarter of 1993 and 1994, in spite of a 6.1% increase in 
telecommunications services revenue.  Rate reductions negotiated at the end of
1993 offset the increases from increased transactions to keep this cost
approximately equal to 1993 amounts.

          Depreciation and amortization expense decreased from $3.6 million in 
the first quarter of 1993 to $1.8 million in the first quarter of 1994, due to 
lower amortization charges for goodwill and other intangible assets that were 
written off at the end of 1993.  As discussed in the consolidated financial


                                      7
<PAGE>   8
statements for 1993 and the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1993, the Company wrote off approximately $230 million in
goodwill and other intangibles related to its transportation and retail
division based on its assessment of the future operations of the related
divisions.  The effect of this write-off in 1993 was to reduce amortization
charges in the first quarter by approximately $2.0 million.

          Other operating costs increased from $10.0 million in the first 
quarter of 1993 to $12.5 million in the first quarter of 1994, an increase of 
$2.5 million, or 24.1%.  During the first quarter of 1994, the Company incurred 
expenses of approximately $1.2 million with a consulting firm to assist it in 
evaluating the efficiency of its work force and procedures.  Future reductions 
in salaries and benefits are expected as a result of workforce reductions that 
have been recommended by this evaluation.  The remaining increase in other 
operating costs is primarily related to the acquisition of Saunders.

          Interest expense, net of interest income, was $7.6 million in the 
first quarter of 1993, and $7.7 million in the first quarter of 1994.  Interest 
on borrowings for the Saunders acquisition have offset interest savings 
resulting from reductions in debt from operating cash flows.

          Income tax expense increased approximately $0.8 million during the 
first quarter of 1994, compared to the same period in 1993.  The Company's
net operating loss carryforwards, which totaled approximately $12 million at
December 31, 1993,  are expected to be fully utilized during 1994, resulting in
an increase in income tax expense.

                        LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

          Network's Revolving Credit Facility provides for revolving credit 
loans and letters of credit aggregating up to $50.0 million, with a $25.0 
million sublimit for letters of credit.  In December 1994, the total amount of 
the Revolving Credit Facility will be reduced by $12.5 million to $37.5 
million.  As of March 31, 1994, there were outstanding loans under the 
Revolving Credit Facility of $12.4 million and letters of credit totalling 
$13.7 million.  Network is not required to make any scheduled principal
repayments on its senior bank debt or subordinated debt until December 1995,
when the Revolving Credit Facility terminates.  In June 1995, Network is
required to repay a $5.7 million note.  In addition, $6.2 million of 11% Junior
Subordinated Notes mature in October 1997.  Scheduled payments on Network's
12.5% Senior Notes begin in 1998.

          Network's obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are secured 
by substantially all the assets of Network and its subsidiaries, are guaranteed 
by Comdata and bear interest at prime plus 1.75% or an adjusted Eurodollar rate 
plus 3%.  The amount of credit available under this arrangement is subject to


                                      8
<PAGE>   9
limitations based on the amount and nature of outstanding receivables.

          The Revolving Credit Facility has provisions that require Network to 
maintain and transfer excess cash balances, as defined, into bank accounts 
managed by the lenders.  Such lenders have certain discretionary rights to 
apply such cash balances against Network's outstanding loan amounts.  At March 
31, 1994, Network had $14.3 million in these accounts.  Network, on a daily 
basis, monitors its cash position and makes transfers and other transactions 
necessary to comply with these provisions of the Revolving Credit Facility.

          Subject to certain exceptions, the Revolving Credit Facility requires 
prepayment of indebtedness outstanding under the facility with the entire net 
cash proceeds received by the Network or its subsidiaries from asset sales over 
a certain minimum amount, 50% of the net cash proceeds received by Comdata or 
Network from permitted issuances of debt or equity and any excess cash flow of 
Network and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.  The amount of the 
Revolving Credit Facility is permanently reduced by an amount equal to such 
mandatory prepayments.

          The Revolving Credit Facility and the indentures governing the 
Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Debentures contain certain covenants that
limit or prohibit, among other things, Comdata's ability to incur additional
indebtedness, to pay dividends or make other distributions, to engage in
certain transactions with affiliates, to issue or sell stock of subsidiaries to
third parties, to repay certain indebtedness prior to its stated maturity, to
create liens, to sell assets, to make certain capital expenditures, to enter
into a transaction that would result in a change of control, to incur certain
subordinated debt and to merge or consolidate with or to acquire any other
business.  In addition, the Revolving Credit Facility requires the Company to
maintain certain specified financial ratios.  As of March 31, 1994, the Company
was required to maintain a tangible net worth deficit of less than $203.2
million, an interest coverage ratio in excess of 1.65 to 1, a current ratio in
excess of 0.89 to 1, and a debt to net worth ratio not to exceed 2.50 to 1, all
as defined.  As of March 31, 1994, the Company was in compliance with all
covenants and ratios, and its actual measures under these financial ratio
covenants were as follows:  tangible net worth deficit, $194.9 million;
interest coverage ratio, 1.88 to 1; current ratio, 1.03 to 1; debt to net worth
ratio, 1.99 to 1.

Working Capital

          The Company's principal uses of funds for the next several years will 
be for working capital, for debt service and for capital expenditures 
consisting of routine replacements of field computer equipment and back office 
equipment.  New services offered by the Company will require additional 
investments in working capital to fund growth in accounts receivable.  From 
time to time, the Company evaluates the desirability of repurchasing its Senior 
Notes.  The Revolving Credit Facility has been amended to allow the purchase of 
up to $15 million of Senior Notes.  Management believes that funds generated 
from operations and borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility should 
provide sufficient cash to meet the Company's anticipated liquidity needs 
during the next 24 months, even with the reduction in December 1994 of the 
total amount of the Revolving Credit Facility by $12.5 million.

Accounts Receivable

          In accordance with the Company's revenue recognition policy, revenue 
from the Company's funds transfer, regulatory permit and gaming cash advance 
services consists of the transaction fees charged to customers and does not 
include the cost of goods or services provided by the Company (e.g., fuel 
purchased, permit provided or cash advanced).  The Company's accounts
receivable include both the cost of the goods and services provided and the
transaction fees, and drafts and settlements payable include the amount due to
the issuing agent for the cost of the goods and services.  Accounts receivable,
net, increased by $19.2 million, or 17.9%, between the end of 1993 and March
31, 1994.  Total revenue increased by 17.1% during the three months ended March
31, 1994, as compared to the same period in the prior year.  For the three
months ended March 31, 1993 and 1994, the average days in accounts receivable
outstanding, calculated based on the average accounts receivable outstanding
for such period, was approximately 6.0 and 6.1 days, respectively.  Because the
Company does not recognize the entire amount of accounts receivable for settled
transactions as revenue, management believes that the average days in accounts
receivable are appropriately measured by the amounts transferred through its
cash advance system.

Cash Flow

          Comdata's principal source of internal liquidity has historically 
been its cash flow from operations.  In 1994, operating activities provided 
$2.4 million.  In 1993, operating activities used $3.7 million of cash, 
primarily due to increases in accounts receivable.

          Net cash used for investing activities in 1994 and 1993 was $2.3 
million and $0.4 million, respectively.  These amounts


                                      10
<PAGE>   11
primarily represent payment for purchase business combinations, capital
expenditures and additions to other assets.

          Financing activities used $0.6 million of cash in 1994, and provided
$0.8 million of cash in 1993, primarily consisting of net borrowings or
payments under Revolving Credit Facility.
