                         INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
 
To the Plans Administration Committee of
Travelers Group Inc.:



We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan 
benefits of Travelers Group 401(k) Savings Plan as of December 31, 1996 and 
1995, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for plan 
benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the 
responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an 
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in 
all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Plan 
as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the changes in net assets available for 
plan benefits for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted 
accounting principles.
 
Our December 31, 1996 audit was performed for the purpose of forming an 
opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental 
schedules of assets held for investment purposes, assets held for investment 
purposes which were both acquired and disposed within the plan year, and 
reportable transactions are presented for the purpose of additional analysis 
and are not a required part of the basic financial statements, but are 
supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and 
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income 
Security Act of 1974, as amended. The supplemental schedules have been 
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic 
financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material 
respects in relation to the basic financial statements as of and for the year 
ended December 31, 1996 taken as a whole.

                      TRAVELERS GROUP 401(k) SAVINGS PLAN
 
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
                           DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995
 
1. PLAN DESCRIPTION
 
The following brief description of Travelers Group 401(k) Savings Plan (the 
"Plan") is provided for general information purposes only. Participants 
should refer to the Travelers Group 401(k) Savings Plan Document (as amended 
and restated as of June 1, 1996) for more complete information.
 
The Plan covers all eligible employees of Travelers Group Inc. ("Travelers"), 
the Plan sponsor, and eligible employees of subsidiaries and affiliates of 
Travelers (the "Company") as may become participating companies. The Plan is 
administered by the Plans Administration Committee of Travelers Group Inc. 
("Plan Administrator").
 
Effective as of January 1, 1996, the Travelers Savings, Investment and Stock 
Ownership Plan ("TESIP") and the 401(k) Retirement and Profit Sharing Plan of 
Copeland Associates, Inc. ("Copeland") were merged into the Plan. Effective 
January 2, 1996, all assets and liabilities attributable to participants 
employed by MetraHealth Companies, Inc. or affiliates thereof ("MetraHealth") 
who were included in TESIP were transferred to the United HealthCare 
Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan pursuant to an agreement between Travelers 
and MetraHealth ("MetraHealth 401(k) Transfer") in connection with the 
acquisition of MetraHealth by United HealthCare Corporation. Following the 
MetraHealth 401(k) Transfer, Travelers has no further obligation to provide 
any benefits to MetraHealth participants under the Plan.
 
The TESIP merger resulted in a $1,004,918,387 increase in net assets 
available for plan benefits, net of the $107,024,238 transferred to the 
United HealthCare Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan attributable to MetraHealth 
participants. The Copeland merger resulted in a $28,135,653 increase in net 
assets available for plan benefits.
 
During 1993, following the acquisition by the Company of the domestic retail 
brokerage and asset management businesses of Shearson Lehman Brothers 
Holdings, Inc. ("Shearson"), the net assets of the 401(k) savings plan 
sponsored by Shearson (the "Shearson Plan") that were attributable to the 
participants included in the acquisition were transferred to the Plan. 
During 1995, as prescribed by the acquisition document, additional transfers 
were made between Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. and the Plan.
 
The Plan is a defined contribution plan designed to encourage savings on the 
part of eligible employees. Eligible employees may elect to have a portion of 
their regular pay, including overtime, reduced each pay period, in any one 
percent increment, by an amount from 1% to 15% of their compensation (subject 
to a statutory limitation of $9,500 and $9,240 for 1996 and 1995, 
respectively) as pre-tax contributions, and the Company will make a 
contribution, equal to a specified percentage of the participant's 
contribution, on their behalf as a pre-tax contribution.
 
Employee pre-tax contributions and employer contributions, as well as the 
earnings thereon, are taxed to the participant only at the time of 
distribution. Travelers, for itself or on behalf of the Company, as 
appropriate, contributes a matching employer contribution on behalf of each 
participant as of the last day of the Plan year. For the years ended December 
31, 1996 and 1995, the matching employer contribution made by Travelers

1. PLAN DESCRIPTION (CONTINUED)

equaled 100% of each participant's pre-tax contributions up to an annual 
maximum of $1,000. In addition, Travelers, for itself or on behalf of the 
Company, makes contributions on behalf of eligible employees who elect to 
have pre-tax contributions invested in the Travelers Common Stock Fund by 
having such contributions invested at a 5% discount from the fair value of 
such stock ("discount contributions").
 
On June 15, 1989, TESIP was amended to include an Employee Stock Ownership 
Plan (the "ESOP"). On June 21, 1989, the ESOP borrowed $200 million, at a 
variable interest rate, from Chase Manhattan Bank. The variable interest 
rate, which is adjusted monthly, was 5.01% as of December 31, 1996. 
Increasing semi-annual payments that began January 1, 1990 will fully 
amortize the debt by January 1, 1998. Principal payments made during 1996 
totaled $32.4 million. The minimum principal payments to be made in 1997 and 
1998 are $17.5 million and $17.4 million, respectively. The loan is 
guaranteed by Travelers Group Inc.
 
On June 21, 1989, the trustee for the ESOP, Fleet Bank, purchased 3,755,869 
shares of Travelers Corporation Series A Preference Stock for the ESOP for 
$200 million with the proceeds of the loan. On December 31, 1993, in 
conjunction with the merger of the Travelers Corporation into Travelers, the 
shares of Series A Preference Stock were converted into shares of Travelers 
Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, which have substantially the same 
rights and privileges as the shares so converted. The Series C Convertible 
Preferred Stock is pledged as collateral for the loan and is being released 
from collateral as the loan is repaid. The Company matches pre-tax 
contributions by employees as described above with the Series C Convertible 
Preferred Stock valued at the greater of its minimum value of $53.25 per 
share or the estimated fair value of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock 
determined as described in note 2. Each share of Series C Convertible 
Preferred Stock is guaranteed by Travelers at a minimum value of $53.25 and 
is entitled to receive a cumulative annual divided of $4.53. Such dividends 
are reinvested in additional shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock 
at a cost equal to the value determined as described in note 2. These shares 
are then subject to the same guaranteed minimum value. The Series C 
Convertible Preferred Stock may be held only by the ESOP trustee. The Series 
C Preferred is convertible into one share of Travelers common stock for each 
$32.98 of stated value of Series C Preferred, subject to antidilution 
adjustments in certain circumstances.                          

As of December 31, 1996, participants in the ESOP had an aggregate beneficial 
interest in Series C Convertible Preferred Stock totaling $220.2 million 
(2,705,589 shares based on the $81.40 per share estimated fair value at 
December 31, 1996). In addition, at December 31, 1996, the ESOP had an 
aggregate beneficial interest in Series C Convertible Preferred Stock 
totaling $30.9 million (380,023 shares based on the $81.40 per share 
estimated fair value at December 31, 1996), which was unallocated to 
participants in the ESOP.
 
Although it has not expressed any intention to do so, Travelers has the right 
under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate 
the Plan subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security 
Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"). In the event of Plan termination, either 
full or partial, all amounts credited to the participants' accounts shall 
become 100 percent vested and, therefore, will not be subject to forfeiture.

1. PLAN DESCRIPTION (CONTINUED)

FUND TRANSFERS AND ALLOCATION OF CONTRIBUTIONS
 
Participants may elect to divide their contributions among the funds included 
in the Plan in increments divisible by 5%.

Matching employer contributions are invested in the Travelers Common Stock 
Fund and the ESOP.

A participant may elect to suspend his/her pre-tax contributions, as soon as 
administratively practicable, by filing prior written notice with the Plan 
Administrator. Such participant may thereafter resume pre-tax contributions 
as of the first pay period beginning in any calendar month, subject to the 
Plan's notice requirements. In addition, a participant may change the rate of 
his/her pre-tax contributions as of the first pay period beginning in any 
calendar month, subject to the Plan's notice requirements.
 
A participant may elect to change the allocation of future pre-tax 
contributions among the funds once each calendar month as of the first day of 
any pay period, subject to the Plan's notice requirements.
 
A participant may elect to transfer the value of his/her pre-tax 
contributions in increments divisible by 5% or a specified number of whole 
shares from one or more of the investment funds to another investment fund or 
funds once each calendar month. The transfer will be effective as of the last 
business day of the calendar month subject to the Plan's notice requirements.
 
CONTRIBUTIONS
 
The rights of a participant to his/her pre-tax contributions and any earnings 
thereon are at all times fully vested and non-forfeitable. Matching employer 
contributions are fully vested and non-forfeitable for those participants 
whose initial date of employment is before January 1, 1992. For those 
participants whose initial date of employment is on or after January 1, 1992, 
matching employer contributions are 100% vested and non-forfeitable after 
five years of service. Forfeitures of employer matching contributions to the 
Plan by participants that terminate employment prior to becoming fully vested 
are used to reduce future employer contributions to the Plan. Forfeitures not 
yet utilized to reduce contributions are reflected as a liability in the 
statements of net assets available for plan benefits.

ROLLOVER AND TRANSFER CONTRIBUTIONS

The Plan permits participants to have their interests in other qualified 
profit-sharing plans transferred to the Plan or to make rollover 
contributions into the Plan from an individual retirement account (or similar 
arrangement) resulting from a rollover from another qualified plan or 
directly from another qualified plan. Such transfers or rollovers to the Plan 
may only be made with the approval of the Plan Administrator and do not 
affect any other contributions made by or on behalf of a participant.

1. PLAN DESCRIPTION (CONTINUED)

LOANS

Subject to the Plan's provisions and the requirements contained within ERISA 
and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), a participant 
may apply for a loan from the Plan at an annual interest rate equal to one 
percentage point above the Prime Rate published in THE WALL STREET JOURNAL 
for the first business day of the month in which the loan application is 
received. The loan repayment by a participant who is employed by the Company 
is generally made through after-tax payroll deductions.

WITHDRAWALS

Prior to termination of employment, a participant may withdraw, as of the 
last business day of any month, subject to the Plan's notice requirements, 
all or a portion of the value of his or her rollover contributions account 
(with the exception of certain participants), all or any portion of the 
vested value of his/her account if the participant has attained age 59-1/2 or 
becomes totally and permanently disabled, or all or any portion of the value 
of his/her pre-tax contributions account in the event of demonstrated 
financial hardship, subject to the Plan's provisions.

Withdrawals to which a participant is entitled are the amounts that can be 
provided by the contributions and income thereon (including net realized and 
unrealized investment gains and losses) allocated to each participant's 
account. Withdrawals from the Travelers Common Stock Fund, the Travelers 
Property Casualty Corp. Common Stock Fund ("TAP Common Stock Fund") and the 
American Express Common Stock Fund may be paid in either shares of common 
stock or cash at the discretion of the participant. Fractional shares and 
withdrawals from other funds are paid in cash.

DISTRIBUTIONS

The participant shall have the total of his/her account distributed in a 
lump-sum payment on the last business day of the month coincident with 
his/her retirement date. If the participant leaves the Company before 
retirement, he/she may elect to have his/her account distributed to him/her 
as of the last business day of the month coincident to his/her last day of 
employment. Distributions from the Travelers Common Stock Fund, the TAP 
Common Stock Fund and the American Express Common Stock Fund may be paid in 
either shares of common stock or cash at the discretion of the participant. 
Distributions from the ESOP may be paid in either shares of Travelers common 
stock or cash at the discretion of the participant. Fractional shares and 
distributions from other funds are paid in cash.

OTHER INFORMATION

During 1996, the Smith Barney Income Return Fund and the Smith Barney High 
Income Fund were terminated, and upon termination, no more contributions were 
accepted to these funds. As of January 2, 1997, all balances in these funds 
were transferred to other funds in the Plan as elected by the participants 
or, where elections were not made, the funds were temporarily transferred to 
the Smith Barney Money Fund.

During 1995, the assets of the Smith Barney Global Opportunities Fund were 
transferred to the Smith Barney Money Fund.

accepted accounting principles requires the Plan Administrator to make 
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and 
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date 
of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses 
during the accounting period. Actual results could differ from those 
estimates.
 
(e) Reclassification

4. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
 
    On November 1, 1996, the Internal Revenue Service issued a determination
letter approving the continued exemption of the Plan, as amended and restated as
of June 1, 1996, and its underlying trusts from federal income taxes under the
Code. In the opinion of the Plan Administrator and the Plan's legal counsel, the
Plan and its trusts are operated within the terms of the Plan and in compliance
with the applicable rules of the Code.

4. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES (CONTINUED)

    Matching employer contributions, pre-tax contributions, discount
contributions and the Plan earnings on all contributions are not taxable to
participants until they are withdrawn by or distributed to the participants.
 
    Also, unrealized appreciation on shares of Travelers common stock, 
Travelers Property Casualty Corp. common stock and American Express common 
stock distributed in a qualifying lump-sum distribution is not taxable at the 
time of distribution.
 
5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
    Certain Plan investments are shares of stock issued by Travelers or its 
subsidiaries. Travelers is the Plan sponsor as defined by the Plan and, 
therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest. These 
transactions are exempt under ERISA section 408(e)(3) given that the Plan is 
an eligible individual account plan as defined by ERISA.
 
    Certain Plan investments are shares of registered investment companies
(mutual funds, stock funds and investment contracts) that are valued by Smith
Barney Mutual Fund Management Inc. ("SB Mutual") and, therefore, would qualify 
SB Mutual as a party-in-interest.
 
    Substantially all transactions of the Copeland portion of the Plan involved
related parties as the manager of, transfer agent of and dividend disbursement
agent for the American Odyssey Funds. Copeland is an indirect wholly owned
subsidiary of Travelers. The Travelers Insurance Company, which issued group
annuity contracts held by the Plan trustee and provides recordkeeping and other
administrative services regarding the Plan, is also an indirect wholly owned
subsidiary of Travelers.

    Non-vested benefits are comprised of employer contributions for those
participants whose initial date of employment is on or after January 1, 1992
and, therefore, have not rendered five years of service. As a result, these
benefits are subject to forfeiture. Forfeitures will be used by Travelers to
reduce any future employer contributions. For the years ended December 31, 1996
and 1995, employer contributions were reduced by approximately $5,899,000 and
$1,706,000, respectively for forfeitures.

7. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
    As of January 1, 1997, the employer contribution match of up to a maximum of
$1,000 is no longer effective. In 1997, Travelers will contribute $350 to all
full-time employees earning less than $40,000 per annum who are with the Company
as of December 31, 1996 through December 31, 1997. A similar amount of $175 will
be contributed to all part-time employees with the Company as of December 31,
1996 through December 31, 1997. Employees earning $40,000 per annum or greater
will not be eligible to receive any employer matching contribution.
