                  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 and nine month periods ended September 30, 1994 and 1993 should not
be taken as an indication of earnings for all or any part of the balance of the
year.

2.               In February 1994, Network acquired the net assets of RoTec, a
software development company with applications for the transportation industry.
The purchase price was $0.5 million plus contingent payments of up to $8.8
million to be made over three years based on the earnings of the acquired
business.  In April 1994, Network acquired the net assets of a service of
Western Union Financial Services, Inc. ("Western Union") 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.  These acquisitions have been
accounted for as purchases, and the results of operations of the acquired
businesses have been included in the consolidated financial statements from the
effective date of the respective acquisitions.  The purchase price will be
allocated to the net assets acquired based on their fair values.  The prior
results of operations of the acquired businesses are not material to those of
the Company.

3.               In May 1994, Network sold the net assets of its breakdown
assistance service, which had been a division of the operations acquired in
connection with the Saunders purchase in 1993.  The sales price consisted of
$0.3 million cash and an additional payment equal to the net assets sold, which
has been

recorded as a reduction of the goodwill related to the Saunders acquisition.
In addition, Network will receive 15% of future revenues, as defined, for a
period of three years.

4.               The Company's Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into
common stock at a price of $10.72 per share, and its Series B and Series C
Preferred Stock are convertible into common stock at $6.00 per share. Dividends
on the Series B and Series C preferred shares are currently accreting to the
liquidation value of the stock, increasing the number of common shares issuable
on conversion.  At September 30, 1994, an additional 18.4 million shares of
common stock would be issued if all preferred shares were converted.

                 Dividends on the Series A preferred shares were payable in
additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock through June 15, 1994.  In
September 1994, Comdata and LDDS Communications, Inc. ("LDDS"), which owns the
outstanding Series A Preferred Stock and provides long-distance
telecommunications services to the Company, agreed to eliminate future
dividends or the Series A Preferred Stock after June 15, 1994.  In return, the
Company has agreed to extend the terms of its contract with LDDS for
telecommunications services.

         The effects of assumed conversion of Holdings' convertible preferred
         stock into common stock, and the elimination of the related dividend
         requirement, is considered in the computation of earnings per share to
         the extent that conversion would have a dilutive impact on earnings
         per share calculations.  This determination is made on a period by
         period basis for each series of preferred stock.

                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                 Revenue increased from $56.0 million in the third quarter of
1993 to $63.6 million in the third quarter of 1994, an increase of $7.6
million, or 13.6%.  For the nine months ended September 30, 1994, revenue
increased from $157.0 million to $181.5 million, an increase of $24.5 million,
or 15.6%.  Transportation services revenue increased by $3.3 million, or 10.3%,
during the third quarter, and by $13.8 million, or 15.1%, for the nine month
period.  Within transportation services, the largest revenue growth came from
funds transfer services, which increased by $2.3 million, or 12.3%, during the
third quarter, and by $8.2 million, or 15.3%, during the nine month period.
This

revenue growth is primarily due to increases in the number of transactions
completed during the periods.  These transaction increases were the result of
growth in the core funds transfer business and the acquisition of Saunders,
Inc., in December 1993.

                 Permit services revenue increased from $6.6 million in the
third quarter of 1993 to $7.5 million in the third quarter of 1994, an increase
of $.9 million, or 13.9%.  During the nine month period, permit services
revenue increased from $19.2 million to $22.6 million, an increase of $3.4
million, or 17.6%.  This revenue growth is due to increases in the number of
transactions completed during the periods, primarily the result of the
acquisition of Saunders, Inc., in December 1993.

                 Telecommunications services revenue was approximately $4.7
million in each of the three month periods ended September 30, and increased by
$.4 million, or 2.9%, during the nine month period.

                 Revenue from other transportation services increased by $.2
million, or 6.2%, during the third quarter, and by $1.9 million, or 33.0%,
during the nine month period.  Revenue from software sales accounted for
increased revenue of approximately $.7 million and $1.8 million during the
three month and nine month periods.  These revenue increases are primarily due
to the RoTec acquisition.  The revenue increases from software sales were
partially offset by revenue decreases of $0.7 million in the three month period
and nine month period from the Company's in cab communication service, which
has been discontinued.

                 Consumer and gaming services revenue increased during the
third quarter of 1994 by $5.0 million, or 23.8%, and by $12.2 million, or
21.7%, during the nine month period, 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 $0.8 million lower during the third
quarter of 1994, and were $2.2 million lower during the nine month period.

                 Revenue from retail services decreased by $.7 million, or
22.8%, during the third quarter, and by $1.5 million, or 17.1%, during the nine
month period.  The decline is the result of the loss of the Company's largest
retail customer.  Annual revenues from this customer were approximately $2.0
million.

                 Salaries and employee benefits increased by $1.6 million, or
11.8%, during the third quarter, and by $4.6 million, or 11.5%, during the nine
month period.  This increase was primarily due to the Saunders and RoTec
acquisitions, which added $1.5 million and $4.3 million to salaries and
employee benefits


                                       9

expense during the three month and nine month periods, respectively.

                 Agent commissions increased from $8.8 million during the third
quarter of 1993 to $12.1 million during the third quarter of 1994, an increase
of $3.3 million, or 38.0%.  During the nine month period, agent commissions
increased from $21.7 million to $31.7 million, an increase of $10.0 million, or
46.3%. 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 $.9 and $1.2
million lower in the three month and nine month periods, respectively, compared
to 1993.  Rate reductions negotiated at the end of 1993 offset the increases
from increased transactions.

                 Depreciation and amortization expense decreased from $3.8
million in the third quarter of 1993 to $2.1 million in the third quarter of
1994, and decreased from $11.1 million to $6.1 million in the six month period,
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 statements for 1993 and the 1993 10-K, 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 third quarter and nine month periods by
approximately $2.0 million and $6.0 million, respectively.

                 Other operating costs were $11.3 million in the third quarter
of 1994 and the third quarter of 1993.  During the nine month period, other
operating costs increased from $32.2 million to $34.9 million, an increase of
$2.7 million, or 8.5%.  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.  Reductions in
salaries and benefits have been realized as a result of workforce reductions
that resulted from this evaluation.  The remaining increase in other operating
costs is primarily related to the acquisitions of Saunders and RoTec.

                 Interest expense was $7.6 million in the third quarter of
1993, and $7.7 million in the third quarter of 1994.  Interest expense was
$22.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 1993, and $23.0 million in
the nine months ended September 30, 1994.  Interest on borrowings for the
Saunders, RoTec, and Western Union acquisitions have offset interest savings
resulting from reductions in debt from operating cash flows.

                 Income tax expense increased approximately $.7 million during
the third quarter of 1994, and $2.4 million during the nine month period.  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.  At December 31, 1994, the total
amount of the Revolving Credit Facility will be reduced by $12.5 million to
$37.5 million.  As of September 30, 1994, there were outstanding loans under
the Revolving Credit Facility of $.2 million and letters of credit totaling
$10.5 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 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 September 30, 1994, Network had $13.3 million in these accounts.  Network
monitors its cash position on a daily basis 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



                                       11
<PAGE>   13
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
September 30, 1994, the Company was required to maintain a tangible net worth
deficit of less than $190.3 million, an interest coverage ratio in excess of
1.85 to 1, a current ratio in excess of 1.00 to 1, and a debt to net worth
ratio not to exceed 2.25 to 1, all as defined.  As of September 30, 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, $180.4 million; interest coverage ratio, 2.11 to 1; current
ratio, 1.07 to 1; debt to net worth ratio, 1.74 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.  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, 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 $27.6 million, or 25.6%, between the end of 1993 and
September 30, 1994.  Total revenue increased by 15.6% during the nine months
ended September 30, 1994, as compared to the same period in the prior year.
For the nine months ended September 30, 1994, the average days in accounts
receivable outstanding, calculated based on the average accounts receivable
outstanding


                                       12
<PAGE>   14
for such period, was approximately 6.11 days.  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.  During the nine months ended
September 30, 1994 and 1993, operating activities provided $23.3 million and
$4.4 million, respectively.  The consolidated statement of cash flows is
substantially affected by the particular day of the week on which the
accounting period ends, primarily because of the large volume of weekend
transactions in gaming services.  In addition, the volume of funds transferred
by Comdata for its customers is very high relative to the average level of
accounts receivable.  Finally, small changes in the timing of customer
remittances may have a relatively greater effect on the amounts of accounts
receivable.

                 Net cash used for investing activities in the nine month
periods for 1994 and 1993 was $9.8 million and $6.3 million, respectively.
These amounts primarily represent payment for purchase business combinations,
capital expenditures and additions to other assets.

                 Financing activities used $12.6 million of cash in 1994 and
$1.5 million of cash in 1993, primarily consisting of net payments under the
Revolving Credit Facility.
