See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements. 4 6 FIRSTCITY FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA) (1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE The unaudited consolidated financial statements of FirstCity Financial Corporation ("FirstCity" or the "Company") reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly FirstCity's financial position at September 30, 2000, the results of operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, and the cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management 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 reporting period. Significant estimates include the estimation of future collections on purchased portfolio assets used in the calculation of net gain on resolution of portfolio assets, interest rate environments, valuation of the deferred tax asset, and prepayment speeds and collectibility of loans held in inventory, securitization trusts and for investment. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Certain amounts in the financial statements for prior periods have been reclassified to conform with current financial statement presentation. In the third quarter of 2000, FirstCity Consumer Lending Corporation ("Consumer Corp."), a wholly-owned subsidiary of FirstCity, completed a sale of a 49% equity interest in its automobile finance operation to IFA Drive GP Holdings LLC ("IFA-GP") and IFA Drive LP Holdings LLC ("IFA-LP"), wholly-owned subsidiaries of IFA Incorporated ("IFA"), for a purchase price of $15 million cash pursuant to the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of August 18, 2000 (the "Securities Purchase Agreement"), by and among the Company, Consumer Corp., FirstCity Funding LP ("Funding LP"), and FirstCity Funding GP Corp. ("Funding GP"), IFA-GP and IFA-LP (see Note 2 for further discussion). As a result of this sale, the Company no longer consolidates the financial statements of its automobile finance operation since August 1, 2000, but instead records its investment under the equity method of accounting. Certain amounts in the financial statements related to the automobile finance operation have been adjusted in order to deconsolidate these amounts for financial statement presentation. Also, in relation to the sale, the Bank of Scotland forgave a loan fee in the amount of $2.5 million, which resulted in accrued loan fees of $.8 million owed to the senior lender being recorded as an extraordinary gain in the consolidated financial statements. An accounting change due to the adoption of SOP 98-5, which requires previously capitalized start-up costs including organization costs to be written off and future costs related to start-up activities be charged to expense as incurred, resulted in a write-off of $.8 million in previously capitalized organization costs during the first quarter of 1999 and has been reflected as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. The effects of any common stock equivalents are antidilutive for the three months ended September 30, 1999 and the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 due to the net loss for the periods; therefore, diluted earnings (loss) per common share is reported the same as basic earnings (loss) per common share. For the three months ended September 30, 2000 there were not any common stock equivalents; therefore, diluted earnings (loss) per common share is reported the same as basic earnings (loss) per common share. (2) RESTRUCTURE, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Generally, the Company requires liquidity to fund its operations, working capital, payment of debt, equity for acquisition of Portfolio Assets, investments in and advances to the Acquisition Partnerships, retirement of and dividends on preferred stock, and other investments by the Company. The potential sources of liquidity are funds generated from operations, equity distributions from the Acquisition Partnerships, interest and principal payments on subordinated intercompany debt and dividends from the Company's subsidiaries, short- 5 7 FIRSTCITY FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) term borrowings from revolving lines of credit, proceeds from equity market transactions, securitization and other structured finance transactions and other special purpose short-term borrowings. As stated in Note 1, in the third quarter of 2000, Consumer Corp. completed the sale of a 49% equity interest in its automobile finance operation to IFA-GP and IFA-LP. The transaction generated $75 million in cash as described below and resulted in a gain of $12.1 million. Simultaneously, Bank of Scotland and the Company completed a debt restructure, which resulted in reduced interest rates and fees, increased liquidity, and an extended maturity. Additionally, this transaction brought FirstCity into compliance under its lending covenants and cured any defaults that may have existed prior to the restructure. The new entity formed to facilitate the transaction is Drive Financial Services LP ("Drive"). IFA, through wholly owned subsidiaries formed for the purpose of the acquisition, purchased 49% of this newly formed entity for $15 million and IFA provided $60 million in term financing to Drive and its subsidiary, Drive ABS LP, which was used to repay indebtedness owed to FirstCity by its automobile finance operation. After taking into effect the sale of the 49% interest to IFA-GP and IFA-LP, the ownership of Drive is allocated as follows: 49% of Drive is owned (directly and indirectly) by IFA-GP and IFA-LP, 31% of Drive is owned (directly and indirectly) by Consumer Corp., and 20% of Drive is owned (directly and indirectly) by Thomas R. Brower, Scot A. Foith, Thomas G. Dundon, R. Tyler Whann, Bradley C. Reeves, Stephen H. Trent and Blake P. Bozman (the "Auto Finance Management Group"). The Auto Finance Management Group consists of officers and shareholders of Funding GP and limited partners of Funding LP who indirectly and directly owned the remaining 20% equity interest in Funding LP. The Company has reflected the Auto Finance Management Group's 20% equity interest in Funding LP as a minority interest in the consolidated financial statements. The Company provided a guaranty limited to a maximum amount of up to $4 million of the $60 million term loan by IFA. The Company, Consumer Corp. and Funding LP secured the guaranty with a security interest in their respective ownership interests in Consumer Corp., Funding LP and Drive. IFA provided a new $100 million warehouse line of credit to Drive. This new warehouse line is in addition to the current $100 million warehouse line with Enterprise Funding Corporation, an affiliate of Bank of America. The $4 million guaranty by the Company resulted in a $4 million deferral of the $12.1 million gain. As a result of this transaction, the net operations of Drive have been recorded (since August 1, 2000) as equity in earnings of investments. As a result of the sale of the 49% interest in the automobile finance operation, the Company reduced the outstanding debt under its senior and subordinate facilities from $113 million to approximately $44 million. The Company also retired approximately $6.4 million of debt owed to other lenders. The Company, the Bank of Scotland, as agent, The Governor and Company of the Bank of Scotland and IFA (collectively, the "Lenders"), entered into a Second Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan Agreement dated as of August 18, 2000 (the "Second Amendment") pursuant to which the remaining debt under the Company's senior and subordinate debt facilities was restructured into a new loan facility that provides for a maximum aggregate loan amount of $53 million. The restructured facility is comprised of a $10 million Revolving Line of Credit, a $31 million Term Loan A and a $12 million Term Loan B. The loans under the restructured loan facility mature December 31, 2003, and carry pricing of LIBOR plus 2.5% for the Revolving Line of Credit and Term Loan A and prime rate for Term Loan B. In the restructure, the Bank of Scotland forgave a fee in the amount of $2.5 million which resulted in accrued loan fees of $.8 million owed to the senior lender being recorded as an extraordinary gain in the consolidated financial statements. The Second Amendment provides for a facility fee of $.5 million and a prepayment fee of $.5 million. The restructured loan facility requires the consent of the Lenders prior to payment of any common and preferred dividends. The Company obtained waivers or modifications under the Second Amendment that bring the Company into compliance under the facility and cured defaults that existed prior to the restructure. IFA retained the warrant for the purchase of 425,000 shares of the Company's voting common stock at $2.3125 per share (the closing price on December 21, 1999), which was issued in connection with the debt 6 8 FIRSTCITY FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) restructure in December 1999. In connection with the execution of the Second Amendment, the Company and IFA amended the option to obtain a warrant for 1,975,000 shares of non-voting stock, which was granted in December 1999 in connection with the $25 million subordinated debt facility. The option, as amended, allows IFA to acquire a warrant to acquire 1,975,000 shares of the Company's non-voting common stock; the option can be exercised after August 31, 2001 if Term Loan B remains outstanding, but not prior to such date. The strike price of $2.3125 will remain the same. In the event that prior to August 31, 2001 the Company either (a) refinances the $12 million Term Loan B with subordinated debt, or (b) pays off the balance of Term Loan B from proceeds of an equity offering, then the option to acquire a warrant for 1,975,000 shares of non-voting stock will terminate. In the event that Term Loan B is terminated prior to August 31, 2001 through a transaction involving the issuance of warrants, IFA is entitled to additional warrants in connection with its existing warrant for 425,000 shares to retain its ability to acquire approximately 4.86% of the Company's common stock. Dividends on outstanding preferred stock of FirstCity will be restricted until Term Loan B is paid in full. The Company stated previously that it intended to seek stockholder approval prior to the end of fiscal year 2000 for the replacement of Term Loan B with a private placement of subordinated debt provided by certain insiders and other interested investors. At that time it was contemplated that warrants for common stock would be issued in connection with the private placement. FirstCity, however, is limited in its ability to issue common shares and warrants due to change of control issues related to its substantial net operating loss carryforwards. While the private placement originally contemplated would allow for the payment of future dividends on the preferred stock, management believes that a more strategic utilization of its available common shares and warrants would better serve the long-term interests of the Company's stockholders. The Company currently does not plan to pursue the private placement at this time. Management will continue to evaluate alternatives to repay Term Loan B prior to August 31, 2001 to terminate the option to obtain warrants to acquire the 1,975,000 shares of the Company's common stock. This would allow the Company to utilize these shares in a transaction that the Company believes would maximize long-term stockholder value. During the second quarter of 2000, the Portfolio Asset Acquisition and Resolution group of the Company entered into a $17 million loan facility with Cargill Financial Services, Inc. ("Cargill"). This facility is being used exclusively to provide equity in new portfolio acquisitions in partnerships with Cargill related entities. As of September 30, 2000, the Company has $6 million of availability under this facility. Management believes that the IFA debt described above along with the liquidity from the Cargill line, the related fees generated from the servicing of assets and equity distributions (totaling approximately $9.2 million for the first nine months of 2000) from existing Acquisition Partnerships and wholly-owned portfolios will allow the Company to meet its obligations as they come due during the next twelve months. (3) DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS Effective during the third quarter of 1999, management of the Company adopted formal plans to discontinue the operations of Harbor Financial Group, Inc. (formerly known as FirstCity Financial Mortgage Corp.) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as "Mortgage Corp."), and FC Capital Corp. ("Capital Corp."). These entities comprise the operations that were previously reported as the Company's residential and commercial mortgage banking business. As formal termination plans were adopted and historical business operations at each entity have ceased, the results of operations for 1999 have been reflected as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Additionally, the net assets related to the resolution of activity from the discontinued operations have been reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The results of operations from discontinued operations for 1999 were composed of an operating loss of $39.1 million, the Company's write-off of its investment of $50.5 million in Mortgage Corp. and the write down of its net investment in Capital Corp. by $12.7 million. The following is a summary of activity related to each of the entities' operations. 7 9 FIRSTCITY FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) Mortgage Corp. -- During the third quarter of 1999, Mortgage Corp. incurred significant losses from operations and the liquidation of certain assets. Ultimately, on October 14, 1999, Mortgage Corp. filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas. On December 14, 1999 the bankruptcy proceedings were converted to liquidations under Chapter 7 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. In the filings, the stated assets of Mortgage Corp. were approximately $95 million and the stated liabilities were approximately $98 million. Additionally, it is anticipated that the liquidation of any remaining assets will yield proceeds, which are less than the stated amount of the assets as listed in the filings. The Company does not guarantee any of the debt of Mortgage Corp. Furthermore, management of the Company was not involved in the daily operations of Mortgage Corp. during a significant portion of the third quarter of 1999 and no longer had access to financial records of Mortgage Corp. Based on the above, Mortgage Corp. was deemed insolvent and the Company wrote off its entire investment in and advances to (collectively referred to as the Net Investment) Mortgage Corp. Capital Corp. -- Management of the Company made the decision to completely exit all mortgage banking activities due to the significant negative impact realized from Mortgage Corp. The Company ceased acquiring mortgage loans under Capital Corp.'s platform during the fourth quarter of 1999. At September 30, 2000, Capital Corp. had loans totaling $1.1 million remaining in its inventory, substantially all of which were sold in October 2000. It is projected that the only assets remaining from Capital Corp.'s operations will be the investment securities resulting from the retention of residual interests in securitization transactions completed by Capital Corp. The Company has considered the estimated future income from such investment securities in the computation of the loss from discontinued operations. The net assets from discontinued operations consist of the following:

An accrual of $5.0 million for costs to complete the plan of discontinuation was recorded in the second quarter of 2000. No additional accrual was deemed necessary by management during the third quarter of 2000. (4) PORTFOLIO ASSETS Portfolio Assets are summarized as follows:

11 13 FIRSTCITY FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) (8) SEGMENT REPORTING The Company is engaged in two reportable segments (i) portfolio asset acquisition and resolution; and (ii) consumer lending. These segments have been segregated based on products and services offered by each. As a result of the sale of a 49% equity interest in the Company's automobile finance operation, the net operations of Drive have been recorded (since August 1, 2000) as equity in earnings of investments. The following is a summary of results of operations for each of the segments and a reconciliation to earnings (loss) from continuing operations for the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999.

(9) PREFERRED STOCK AND SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY In the third quarter of 1999, dividends on the Company's adjusting rate preferred stock were suspended. At September 30, 2000, accumulated dividends in arrears on such preferred stock totaled $3.2 million, or $2.625 per share. If the Company fails to pay quarterly dividends for any six consecutive or non-consecutive quarters, the holders of adjusting rate preferred stock may be entitled to elect two directors to the Company's Board until cumulative dividends have been paid in full. In connection with the issuance of senior subordinated notes in December 1999, the Company issued an option to the holder of the senior subordinated notes allowing it to acquire a warrant for 1,975,000 shares of the Company's non-voting common stock. As discussed in Note 2, in the third quarter of 2000, the Company restructured its remaining debt into a new facility provided solely by Bank of Scotland and IFA. IFA will retain its option to acquire warrants for 1,975,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The strike price of $2.3125 will remain the same, but the initial date upon which the option can be exercised has been extended to August 31, 2001. The option can be exercised after August 31, 2001 if Term Loan B remains outstanding, but not prior to such date. In the event that prior to August 31, 2001 the Company either (a) refinances the $12 million Term Loan B with subordinated debt, or (b) pays off the balance of Term Loan B from proceeds of an equity offering, then the option to acquire a warrant for 1,975,000 shares of non-voting common stock will terminate. In the event that Term Loan B is terminated prior to August 31, 2001 through a transaction involving the issuance of warrants, IFA is entitled to additional warrants in connection with its existing warrant for 425,000 shares to retain its ability to acquire approximately 4.86% of the Company's common stock. (10) INCOME TAXES Federal income taxes are provided at a 35% rate. The Company has substantial federal net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs"), which can be used to offset the tax liability associated with the Company's pre-tax earnings until the earlier of the expiration or utilization of such NOLs. The Company accounts for the benefit of the NOLs by recording the benefit as an asset and then establishing an allowance to value the net deferred tax asset at a value commensurate with the Company's expectation of being able to utilize the recognized benefit in the foreseeable future. Such estimates are reevaluated on a quarterly basis with the adjustment to the allowance recorded as an adjustment to the income tax expense generated by the quarterly operating results. Significant events that change the Company's view of its currently estimated ability to utilize the tax benefits result in substantial changes to the estimated allowance required to value the deferred tax benefits recognized in the Company's periodic financial statements. The Company's analysis for the quarters ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, resulted in an increase in the valuation allowance of $7.0 million and $5.0 million, respectively. During the quarters ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, management deemed that an adjustment to the valuation allowance was not necessary. Additional events could occur in the future that may impact the quarterly recognition of the Company's estimate of the required valuation allowance associated with its NOLs. Although realization is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that all of the recorded deferred tax asset will be realized. 13 15 FIRSTCITY FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) (11) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company and Harbor Financial Group, Inc. (formerly known as FirstCity Financial Mortgage Corporation) filed suit in the Federal District Court for the Western District of Texas, Waco Division, against Chase Bank of Texas, N.A. and Chase Securities, Inc. in September 1999 seeking damages resulting from alleged violations by the defendants of the Bank Holding Company Act and from civil conspiracy engaged in by the defendants, and injunctive relief, arising from an engagement letter entered into between the Company and Chase Securities, Inc. relating to the sale assets or securities of Harbor Financial Group, Inc., Harbor Financial Mortgage Corporation and their subsidiaries (collectively "Harbor"). The Company alleges that Chase Bank of Texas, N.A. conditioned its extension of credit to Harbor on the retention of Chase Securities, Inc. by the Company and Harbor in violation of the Bank Holding Company Act. The Company has, in its First Amended Original Complaint filed in November 1999, sought a judicial declaration that the plaintiffs are not obligated to pay any commission to Chase Securities, Inc. under the engagement letter. The actual damages sought by the Company are in excess of $200 million. The Company also seeks recovery of three times its damages pursuant to the Bank Holding Company Act and recovery of its costs of court, including reasonable attorneys fees. A motion to dismiss the Texas suit was granted based upon a provision in the engagement letter that provided that any suit arising from the engagement letter would be pursued in the State of New York. The Company is appealing the order granting the dismissal of the suit. On October 4, 1999, Chase Securities, Inc. filed suit against the Company before the Supreme Court for the State of New York, County of New York: Commercial Part seeking recovery of $2.4 million as the balance of a transaction fee allegedly due it under the terms of the engagement letter, expenses, and other just and proper relief. The Company denies that it has any liability to Chase Securities, Inc. and intends to vigorously defend the suit. The Company has asserted as a defense to this action the violations of the Bank Holding Company Act asserted in the litigation pending before the Federal District Court for the Western District of Texas. The Company will amend its answer in the suit to include a counterclaim against Chase Securities, Inc. and an action against Chase Bank of Texas, N.A. under the Bank Holding Company Act as is asserted in the Texas suit. On October 14, 1999, Mortgage Corp. filed voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code before the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division. In a motion filed in those proceedings requesting the appointment of a Chapter 11 Trustee, the debtors state that they were reviewing pre-petition transfers to the Company to determine if those transfers are avoidable. On December 14, 1999, the bankruptcy proceedings were converted to liquidations under Chapter 7 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. The Company believes that it has valid defenses to any allegations that might be made to avoid any pre-petition transfers in connection with the Mortgage Corp. bankruptcy proceedings. The Company is involved in various other legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the resolution of such matters will not have a material adverse impact on the consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity of the Company. The Company is a 50% owner in an entity that is obligated to advance up to $2.5 million toward the acquisition of Portfolio Assets from financial institutions in California. At September 30, 2000, advances of $2.3 million had been made under the obligation. In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement, Consumer Corp. and Funding LP contributed all of the assets utilized in the operations of the automobile finance operation to Drive pursuant to the terms of a Contribution and Assumption Agreement dated as of August 18, 2000, by and between Consumer Corp. and Drive, and a Contribution and Assumption Agreement dated as of August 18, 2000, by and between Funding LP and Drive (collectively, the "Contribution Agreements"). 14 16 FIRSTCITY FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) Drive assumed substantially all of the liabilities of the automobile finance operation as set forth in the Contribution Agreements. In addition, in the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company, Consumer Corp., Funding LP and Funding GP made various representations and warranties concerning (i) their respective organizations, (ii) the automobile finance operation conducted by Consumer Corp. and Funding LP, and (iii) the assets transferred by Consumer Corp. and Funding LP to Drive. The Company, Consumer Corp., Funding LP and Funding GP also agreed to indemnify IFA, IFA-GP and IFA-LP from damages resulting from a breach of any representation or warranty contained in the Securities Purchase Agreement or otherwise made by the Company, Consumer Corp. or Funding LP in connection with the transaction. The indemnity obligation under the Securities Purchase Agreement survives for a period of seven (7) years from August 25, 2000 (the "Closing Date") with respect to tax-related representations and warranties and for thirty (30) months from the Closing Date with respect to all other representations and warranties. None of the Company, Consumer Corp., Funding LP, or Funding GP is required to make any payments as a result of the indemnity provided under the Securities Purchase Agreement until the aggregate amount payable exceeds $.25 million, and then only for the amount in excess of $.25 million in the aggregate; however certain representations and warranties are not subject to this $.25 million threshold. Pursuant to the terms of the Contribution Agreements, Consumer Corp. and Funding LP have agreed to indemnify Drive from any damages resulting in a material adverse effect on Drive resulting from breaches of representations or warranties, failure to perform, pay or discharge liabilities other than the assumed liabilities, or claims, lawsuits or proceedings resulting from the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreements. Pursuant to the terms of the Contribution Agreements, Drive has agreed to indemnify Consumer Corp. and Funding LP for any breach of any representation or warranty by Drive, the failure of Drive to discharge any assumed liability, or any claims arising out of any failure by Drive to properly service receivables after August 1, 2000. Liability for indemnification pursuant to the terms of the Contribution Agreements will not arise until the total of all losses with respect to such matters exceeds $.25 million and then only for the amount by which such losses exceed $.25 million; however this limitation will not apply to any breach of which the party had knowledge at the time of the Closing Date or any intentional breach by a party of any covenant or obligation under the Contribution Agreements. 15 17 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. OVERVIEW The Company is a diversified financial services company engaged in Portfolio Asset acquisition and resolution ("Commercial Corp.") and consumer lending through Consumer Corp. The Portfolio Asset acquisition and resolution business involves acquiring Portfolio Assets at a discount to face value and servicing and resolving such portfolios in an effort to maximize the present value of the ultimate cash recoveries. The Company also seeks opportunities to originate and retain high yield commercial loans to businesses and to finance real estate projects that are unable to access traditional lending sources. The consumer lending business involves the acquisition, origination, warehousing, securitization and servicing of consumer receivables. The Company's current consumer lending operations are focused on the acquisition of sub-prime automobile receivables. The Company reported net earnings for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 of $3.7 million. After accrued dividends on the Company's preferred stock, net earnings to common stockholders were $3.1 million or $ .37 per share on a diluted basis. On a year-to-date basis, the Company reported a net loss to common stockholders of $17.3 million or $2.07 per share on a diluted basis. The Company's financial results are affected by many factors including levels of and fluctuations in interest rates, fluctuations in the underlying values of real estate and other assets, and the availability and prices for loans and assets acquired in all of the Company's businesses. The Company's business and results of operations are also affected by the availability of financing with terms acceptable to the Company and the Company's access to capital markets, including the securitization markets. As a result of the significant period to period fluctuations in the revenues and earnings or losses of the Company's Portfolio Asset acquisition and resolution business, the sale of interest in the automobile finance operation, and the timing of securitization transactions of Consumer Corp., period to period comparisons of the Company's results of continuing operations may not be meaningful. The quarterly results reflect the previously announced sale of 49% of the Company's automobile finance operation and the related reduction and restructure of the Company's corporate debt with its senior lenders. Components of the quarterly profits are as follows:

The quarterly results reflect two months of the higher corporate debt load, which existed prior to the debt reduction and restructure, as well as additional costs associated with the automobile finance operation. 16 18 Sale of 49% of Automobile Finance Operation and Corporate Debt Restructure In the third quarter of 2000, the Company completed a major transaction that generated significant cash to allow the Company to return to its emphasis in the Portfolio Asset Acquisition and Resolution business. The Company sold a 49% equity interest in its automobile finance operation to certain subsidiaries of IFA Incorporated (IFA), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bank of Scotland. The transaction generated $75 million in cash as described below and resulted in a gain of $12.1 million. Simultaneously, Bank of Scotland and the Company completed a debt reduction and restructure, which resulted in reduced interest rates and fees, increased liquidity, and an extended maturity. Additionally, this transaction brought the Company into compliance under its lending covenants and cured defaults that may have existed prior to the restructure. The new entity formed to facilitate the transaction is Drive Financial Services LP ("Drive"). Drive assumed the entire operations of the former FirstCity Funding platform created and developed by FirstCity and the Auto Finance Management Group in September of 1997. The platform will continue to be headquartered in Dallas, Texas. IFA, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries IFA-GP and IFA-LP, purchased 49% of this newly formed entity for $15 million, and Bank of Scotland provided $60 million to Drive and its subsidiary, Drive ABS LP, in term financing which was used to repay indebtedness owed to FirstCity by its automobile finance operation. After taking into effect the sale of the 49% interest to IFA-GP and IFA-LP, the ownership of Drive is allocated as follows: 49% of Drive is owned (directly and indirectly) by IFA-GP and IFA-LP, 31% of Drive is owned (directly and indirectly) by Consumer Corp., and 20% of Drive is owned (directly and indirectly) by the Auto Finance Management Group. Bank of Scotland also provided a new $100 million warehouse line of credit to Drive. This new warehouse line is in addition to the current $100 million warehouse line with an affiliate of Bank of America. The Company believes that additional funding along with improved capital markets execution should provide the needed liquidity to allow this business model to mature with planned, controlled growth. The Company provided a guaranty limited to a maximum amount of up to $4 million of the $60 million term loan by IFA. The Company, Consumer Corp. and Funding LP secured the guaranty with a security interest in their respective ownership interests in Consumer Corp., Funding LP and Drive. The $4 million guaranty by the Company resulted in a $4 million deferral of the $12.1 million gain. As a result of this transaction, the net operations of Drive have been recorded (since August 1, 2000) as equity in earnings of investments. As a result of the sale of the 49% interest in the automobile finance operation, the Company reduced the outstanding debt under its senior and subordinate facilities from $113 million to approximately $44.3 million. The Company also retired approximately $6.4 million of debt owed to other lenders. The Lenders entered into a Second Amendment pursuant to which the remaining debt under the Company's senior and subordinate debt facilities was restructured into a new loan facility that provides for a maximum aggregate loan amount of $53 million. The restructured facility is comprised of a $10 million Revolving Line of Credit, a $31 million Term Loan A and a $12 million Term Loan B. The loans under the restructured loan facility mature December 31, 2003, and carry pricing of LIBOR plus 2.5% for the Revolving Line of Credit and Term Loan A and prime rate for Term Loan B. In the restructure, the Bank of Scotland forgave a fee in the amount of $2.5 million which resulted in accrued loan fees of $.8 million owed to the senior lender being recorded as an extraordinary gain in the consolidated financial statements. The Second Amendment provides for a facility fee of $.5 million and a prepayment fee of $.5 million. The restructured loan facility requires the consent of the Lenders prior to payment of any common and preferred dividends. The Company obtained waivers or modifications under the Second Amendment that bring the Company into compliance under the facility and cured defaults that existed prior to the restructure. IFA retained the warrant for the purchase of 425,000 shares of the Company's voting common stock at $2.3125 per share (the closing price on December 21, 1999), which was issued in connection with the debt restructure in December 1999. In connection with the execution of the Second Amendment, the Company and IFA amended the option to obtain a warrant for 1,975,000 shares of non-voting stock, which was granted in December 1999 in connection with the $25 million subordinated debt facility. The option, as amended, allows IFA to acquire a warrant to acquire 1,975,000 shares of the Company's non-voting common stock; the option can be exercised after August 31, 2001 if Term Loan B remains outstanding, but not prior to such date. The strike price of $2.3125 will remain the same. In the event that prior to August 31, 2001 the Company 17 19 either (a) refinances the $12 million Term Loan B with subordinated debt, or (b) pays off the balance of Term Loan B from proceeds of an equity offering, then the option to acquire a warrant for 1,975,000 shares of non-voting stock will terminate. In the event that Term Loan B is terminated prior to August 31, 2001 through a transaction involving the issuance of warrants, IFA is entitled to additional warrants in connection with its existing warrant for 425,000 shares to retain its ability to acquire approximately 4.86% of the Company's common stock. Dividends on Preferred Stock Currently, FirstCity has approximately 1.2 million preferred shares outstanding with accrued and unpaid dividends of approximately $3.2 million. Term Loan B, which resulted from the corporate debt restructure completed in August of this year, restricts the payment of dividends on these shares until it is repaid in full. The Company stated previously that it intended to seek stockholder approval prior to the end of fiscal year 2000 for the replacement of Term Loan B with a private placement of subordinated debt provided by certain insiders and other interested investors. At that time it was contemplated that warrants for common stock would be issued in connection with the private placement. FirstCity, however, is limited in its ability to issue common shares and warrants due to change of control issues related to its substantial net operating loss carryforwards. While the private placement originally contemplated would allow for the payment of future dividends on the preferred stock, management believes that a more strategic utilization of its available common shares and warrants would better serve the long-term interests of the Company's stockholders. The Company currently does not plan to pursue the private placement at this time. Management will continue to evaluate alternatives to repay Term Loan B prior to August 31, 2001 to terminate the option to obtain warrants to acquire the 1,975,000 shares of the Company's common stock. This would allow the Company to utilize these shares in a transaction that the Company believes would maximize long-term stockholder value. ANALYSIS OF REVENUES AND EXPENSES FirstCity reported net earnings to common stockholders for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 of $3.1 million. As a result of the sale of interest in the automobile finance operation, the net operations of Drive have been recorded (since August 1, 2000) as equity in earnings of investments. PORTFOLIO ASSET ACQUISITION AND RESOLUTION Acquisitions for the quarter were comprised of two portfolios, with a total purchase price of $127 million. FirstCity invested approximately $6 million in these two portfolios. These acquisitions bring the total invested capital for the year to $12.8 million. Management believes FirstCity is on track to meet the annual investment goal of $22.5 million, with approximately half of the remaining investment dollars being allocated to Mexico. Aggregate acquisitions by the Company (including acquisitions for Acquisition Partnerships) for the year are as follows (dollars in thousands):

Management believes that investment and servicing opportunities worldwide continue to be strong and the Company continues to expand its platform into foreign markets. Correspondingly, management believes that European investments have performed well and the Company believes that prospects for future expansion and investment remain strong. The pipeline for domestic product is growing and our expectation is for the growth to accelerate in the year 2001.

20 22 CONSUMER LENDING As noted above, the Company sold a 49% equity interest in its interest in the automobile finance operation (conducted through Drive) effective August 1, 2000. As a result, the majority of operations reported in the Consumer Lending segment are for activity prior to August 1, 2000. Therefore, period-to-period comparisons of Consumer Corp.'s results of operations may not be meaningful.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES The Company has substantial federal net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs"), which expire periodically through the year 2019. These NOLs can be used to offset the tax liability associated with the Company's pre-tax earnings until the earlier of the expiration or utilization of such NOLs. The Company accounts for the benefit of the NOLs by recording the benefit as an asset and then establishing an allowance to value the net deferred tax asset at a value commensurate with the Company's expectation of being able to utilize the recognized benefit in the foreseeable future. Such estimates are reevaluated on a quarterly basis with the adjustment to the allowance recorded as an adjustment to the income tax expense generated by the quarterly operating results. Significant events that change the Company's view of its currently estimated ability to utilize the tax benefits result in substantial changes to the estimated allowance required to value the deferred tax benefits recognized in the Company's periodic financial statements. The Company's analysis for the quarters ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 resulted in an increase in the valuation allowance of $7.0 million and $5.0 million, respectively. During the quarters ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, management deemed that an adjustment to the valuation allowance was not necessary. Additional events could occur in the future, that may impact the quarterly recognition of the Company's estimate of the required valuation allowance associated with its NOLs. Although realization is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that all of the recorded deferred tax asset will be realized. 21 23 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company (including the Notes thereto) included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. THIRD QUARTER 2000 COMPARED TO THIRD QUARTER 1999 The Company reported earnings from continuing operations of $2.9 million in 2000 (including an $8.1 million gain on the sale of the Company's interest in the automobile finance operation). Net earnings to common stockholders were $3.1 million in 2000 compared to a loss of $64.6 million in 1999. On a per share basis, basic and diluted net earnings attributable to common stockholders were $.37 in 2000 compared to a loss of $7.77 in 1999. Portfolio Asset Acquisition and Resolution The operating contribution of $1.1 million in the third quarter of 2000 declined by $1.7 million, or 61%, compared with the third quarter of 1999. Commercial Corp. purchased $127 million of Portfolio Assets during 2000 through the Acquisition Partnerships compared to $141 million in acquisitions in 1999. Commercial Corp.'s quarter end investment in Portfolio Assets decreased to $24.1 million in 2000 from $42.0 million in 1999. Commercial Corp. invested $6.0 million in equity in Portfolio Assets in 2000 compared to $3.8 million in 1999. Servicing fee revenues. Servicing fees increased by 119% to $2.0 million in 2000 from $.9 million in 1999 primarily as a result of increased operations from Acquisition Partnerships in Mexico formed during 2000 and 1999. The service fees for the Mexico Acquisition Partnerships are based on operating expenses, unlike the Acquisition Partnerships in the United States and France, which are based on collections. Gain on resolution of Portfolio Assets. Proceeds from the resolution of Portfolio Assets decreased by 17% to $5.0 million in 2000 from $6.0 million in 1999. The net gain on resolution of Portfolio Assets decreased 26% or $.3 million, primarily as a result of the decreased proceeds. The weighted average gross profit percentage on the resolution of Portfolio Assets in 2000 was 20.0% as compared to 22.4% in 1999. Equity in earnings of investments. Commercial Corp.'s equity in earnings of Acquisition Partnerships declined 53% to $1.5 million in 2000 compared to $3.2 million in 1999. Proceeds from the resolution of Portfolio Assets received by the Acquisition Partnerships increased by 46% to $30.9 million in 2000 from $21.2 million in 1999. The result was an overall increase in net income of the Acquisition Partnerships of $3.4 million or 55%. However, a Mexican Acquisition Partnership, of which the Company owns less than 5%, generated the majority of the increase in net income. The primary reason for the decline in the equity earnings of Acquisition Partnerships reflected by the Company is the decline in net income of the domestic Acquisition Partnerships of $1.1 million or 59%. This decline is primarily a result of the timing of the resolution of the assets held by the domestic Acquisition Partnerships and is not necessarily an indication of future results. Equity in earnings of Servicing Entities was not significant. Other revenues. Other revenues declined $.7 million or 71% primarily due to a gain on sale of other assets of $.4 million which was recorded in the third quarter of 1999. Operating expenses. Operating expenses were relatively flat from period to period. Interest and fees on notes payable declined $.3 million or 29% due to average debt for the quarter declining to $29.3 million in 2000 from $45.4 million in 1999. The decline in average debt was partially offset by increased average costs of borrowing, which were 10.88% in 2000 compared to 9.85% in 1999. Salaries and benefits increased 23% to $1.4 million due to higher number of employees required to support the growth in the acquisition and servicing of loan portfolios in Mexico. Occupancy, data processing and other expenses increased $.2 million or 18% due to increased operations in Mexico. 22 24 Consumer Lending The operating contribution of $6.8 million in the third quarter of 2000 increased by $6.9 million compared with the third quarter of 1999 due principally to the sale of 49% of the Company's equity interest in the automobile finance operation. Service fees. Service fee income decreased due to the sale of 49% of the Company's equity interest in the automobile finance operation. Equity in loss of investment. As a result of the sale of 49% of the equity interest in the Company's automobile finance operation, the Company's interest in the net operations of Drive was recorded (since August 1, 2000) as equity in earnings of investments. Interest income. Interest income on consumer loans decreased by 52% to $2.6 million in 2000 from $5.5 million in 1999, also reflecting the sale of 49% of the Company's equity interest in its automobile finance operation. Gain on sale of interest in subsidiary. A gain of $8.1 million was recorded in the third quarter of 2000 as a result of the sale of 49% of the Company's equity interest in its automobile finance operation. Operating expenses. Total operating expenses declined primarily as a result of the sale of 49% of the Company's equity interest in its automobile finance operation. Interest and fees on notes payable decreased as a result of the sale of 49% of the Company's equity interest in its automobile finance operation. Salaries and benefits increased by $.3 million or 17% as a result of additional compensation expense paid to the Auto Finance Management Group prior to the sale of 49% of the Company's equity interest in its automobile finance operation. Provision for loan losses on automobile receivables and impairment of residual interests decreased by $1.0 million from 1999 as a result of the sale of 49% of the Company's equity interest in its automobile finance operation. Significant impairments on the residuals were provided for in 1999 and were not deemed necessary in 2000 through the date of the sale of such interest. Occupancy, data processing and other expenses declined from 1999 due to the sale of 49% of the Company's equity interest in its automobile finance operation. Other Items Affecting Operations The following items affect the Company's overall results of operations and are not directly related to any one of the Company's businesses discussed above. Corporate overhead. Company level interest expense increased by 25% to $2.9 million in 2000 from $2.3 million in 1999 as a result of higher levels of debt associated with the equity required to purchase Portfolio Assets, equity interests in Acquisition Partnerships, and capital support to operating subsidiaries and discontinued operations. Other corporate overhead expenses increased $.5 million or 35% principally due to increased amortization, legal and professional fees in association with restructuring the Company. Management continues to review corporate expenses and anticipates interest and other fees to decline in the fourth quarter of 2000. Income taxes. Federal income taxes are provided at a 35% rate applied to taxable income or loss and are offset by NOLs that the Company believes are available. The tax benefit of the NOLs is recorded in the period during which the benefit is realized. The Company recorded no deferred tax provision in 2000 and 1999. NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 The Company reported a loss from continuing operations of $11.2 million in 2000 (including a gain of $8.1 million on sale of interest in Consumer Corp.) compared to a loss of $7.0 million in 1999. The loss from discontinued operations totaled $5.0 million in 2000 and $102.3 million in 1999. Net loss to common 23 25 stockholders was $17.3 million in 2000 compared to $111.2 million in 1999. On a per share basis, basic and diluted net loss attributable to common stockholders was $2.07 in 2000 compared to $13.40 in 1999. An accounting change related to SOP 98-5 resulted in a loss of $.8 million in the first quarter of 1999 or $0.09 per share. Portfolio Asset Acquisition and Resolution The operating contribution of $3.1 million in the first nine months of 2000 declined by $3.2 million, or 51%, compared with the first nine months of 1999. Commercial Corp. purchased $295 million of Portfolio Assets during 2000 through the Acquisition Partnerships compared to $209 million in acquisitions in 1999. Commercial Corp.'s quarter end investment in Portfolio Assets decreased to $24.1 million in 2000 from $42.0 million in 1999. Commercial Corp. invested $12.8 million in equity in Portfolio Assets in 2000 compared to $10.8 million in 1999. Servicing fee revenues. Servicing fees increased by 122% to $5.9 million in 2000 from $2.7 million in 1999 primarily as a result of increased operations from Acquisition Partnerships in Mexico formed during 2000 and 1999. The service fees for the Mexico Acquisition Partnerships are based on operating expenses, unlike the Acquisition Partnerships in the United States and France, which are based on collections. Gain on resolution of Portfolio Assets. Proceeds from the resolution of Portfolio Assets decreased by 31% to $11.8 million in 2000 from $17.0 million in 1999. The net gain on resolution of Portfolio Assets decreased by 18% to $2.8 million in 2000 from $3.4 million in 1999 as the result of decreased proceeds. The weighted average gross profit percentage on the resolution of Portfolio Assets in 2000 was 23.5% as compared to 19.9% in 1999. Equity in earnings of Investments. Proceeds from the resolution of Portfolio Assets for the Acquisition Partnerships increased 12% to $99.2 million in 2000 from $88.4 million in 1999 while the gross profit percentage increased to 54.2% in 2000 from 38.9% in 1999. The net result was an overall increase in the net income of the Acquisition Partnerships of 44% to $32.6 million in 2000 from $22.7 million in 1999. However, Commercial Corp.'s equity earnings from Acquisition Partnerships declined 38% to $5.4 million in 2000 from $8.7 million in 1999 due to smaller equity investments in recent partnership acquisitions. Equity in earnings of Servicing Entities was not significant. Other revenues. Other revenues decreased by 40% to $2.0 million in 2000 compared to $3.2 million in 1999 principally as a result of lower interest income on performing portfolios. Operating expenses. Operating expenses increased 13% to $12.9 million in 2000 from $11.4 million in 1999 primarily as a result of a provision for loan and impairment losses. Interest and fees on notes payable declined $1.2 million or 35% due to average debt for the nine months declining to $30.4 million in 2000 from $53.2 million in 1999. The decline in average debt was partially offset by increased interest rates, which were 9.60% in 2000 compared to 8.49% in 1999. Salaries and benefits were relatively level from period to period. The provision for loan and impairment losses totaled $1.6 million and can be attributed to the write-down in estimated fair value on one of the Portfolio Asset pools. Occupancy, data processing and other expenses increased $.7 million or 17% from period to period due to increased operations in Mexico. Consumer Lending The operating contribution of $8.7 million in the first nine months of 2000 increased by $4.6 million or 113% compared with the first nine months of 1999 due principally to the sale of 49% of the Company's equity interest in its automobile finance operation. Service fees. Service fee income was relatively flat from period to period. 24 26 Equity in loss of investment. As a result of the sale of interest in the automobile finance operation, the Company's interest in the net operations of Drive was recorded (since August 1, 2000) as equity in earnings of investments. Interest income. Interest income on consumer loans was relatively flat from period to period. Gain on sale of interest in subsidiary. A gain of $8.1 million was recorded in the third quarter of 2000 as a result of the sale of 49% of the Company's equity interest in its automobile finance operation. Gain on sale of automobile loans. A gain of $2.8 million or 6.9% resulted from the securitization of automobile loans totaling $41 million in 2000 as compared to $6.4 million or 11.5% on the sale of $56 million in automobile loans in 1999. The percentage gain on sale of automobile loans decreased primarily due to a 9.9% weighted average coupon on the bonds created in the 2000 securitization compared to 5.8% on the bonds created in the 1999 securitization. Operating expenses. Operating expenses were relatively flat from period to period. Interest expense was relatively flat from period to period. Salaries and benefits increased by $2.3 million or 46% as a result of the higher number of employees required to support the growth in the servicing portfolio between periods combined with additional compensation paid to the Auto Finance Management Group during the third quarter of 2000. Provision for loan losses on automobile receivables and impairment of residual interests decreased by $.7 million from 1999 primarily due to the sale of interest in the automobile finance operation. The Company held loans receivable and residual interests for seven months of 2000 compared to nine months of 1999. Other expenses for 2000 declined by 17% from 1999 due to the sale of 49% of the Company's equity interest in its automobile finance operation. Other Items Affecting Operations The following items affect the Company's overall results of operations and are not directly related to any one of the Company's businesses discussed above. Corporate overhead. Company level interest expense increased by 52% to $10.6 million in 2000 from $7.0 million in 1999 as a result of higher volumes of debt associated with the equity required to purchase Portfolio Assets, equity interests in Acquisition Partnerships and capital support to operating subsidiaries and discontinued operations. Other corporate overhead was level from period to period. Income taxes. Federal income taxes are provided at a 35% rate applied to taxable income or loss and are offset by NOLs that the Company believes are available. The tax benefit of the NOLs is recorded in the period during which the benefit is realized. The Company recorded a deferred tax provision of $7.0 million in 2000 and $5.0 million in 1999. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Generally, the Company requires liquidity to fund its operations, working capital, payment of debt, equity for acquisition of Portfolio Assets, investments in and advances to the Acquisition Partnerships, retirement of and dividends on preferred stock, and other investments by the Company. The potential sources of liquidity are funds generated from operations, equity distributions from the Acquisition Partnerships, interest and principal payments on subordinated intercompany debt and dividends from the Company's subsidiaries, short-term borrowings from revolving lines of credit, proceeds from equity market transactions, securitization and other structured finance transactions and other special purpose short-term borrowings. As a result of the sale of the 49% interest in the automobile finance operation, the Company reduced the outstanding debt under its senior and subordinate facilities from $113 million to $44.3 million. The Company also retired $6.4 million of debt owed to other lenders. The Lenders entered into a Second Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan Agreement dated as of August 18, 2000 (the "Second Amendment") pursuant 25 27 to which the remaining debt under the Company's senior and subordinate debt facilities was restructured into a new loan facility that provides for a maximum aggregate loan amount of $53 million. The restructured facility is comprised of a $10 million Revolving Line of Credit, a $31 million Term Loan A and a $12 million Term Loan B. The loans under the restructured loan facility mature December 31, 2003, and carry pricing of LIBOR plus 2.5% for the Revolving Line of Credit and Term Loan A and prime rate for Term Loan B. In the restructure, the Bank of Scotland forgave a fee in the amount of $2.5 million which resulted in accrued loan fees of $.8 million owed to the senior lender being recorded as an extraordinary gain in the consolidated financial statements. The Second Amendment provides for a facility fee of $.5 million and a prepayment fee of $.5 million. The restructured loan facility requires the consent of the Lenders prior to payment of any common and preferred dividends. The Company obtained waivers or modifications under the Second Amendment that bring the Company into compliance under the facility and cured defaults that existed prior to the restructure. Currently, FirstCity has approximately 1.2 million preferred shares outstanding with accrued and unpaid dividends of approximately $3.2 million. Term Loan B, which resulted from the corporate debt restructure completed in August of this year restricts the payment of dividends on these shares until it is repaid in full. The Company stated previously that it intended to seek shareholder approval prior to year end 2000 for the replacement of Term Loan B with a private placement of subordinated debt provided by certain insiders and other interested investors. At that time it was contemplated that warrants for common stock would be issued in connection with the private placement. FirstCity, however, is limited in its ability to issue common shares and warrants due to change of control issues related to its substantial net operating loss carryforwards. While the private placement originally contemplated would allow for the payment of future dividends on the preferred stock, management believes that a more strategic utilization of its available common shares and warrants would better serve the long-term interests of the Company's stockholders. The Company currently does not plan to pursue the private placement at this time. Management will continue to evaluate alternatives to repay Term Loan B prior to August 31, 2001 to terminate the option to obtain warrants to acquire the 1,975,000 shares of the Company's common stock. This would allow the Company to utilize these shares in a transaction that the Company believes would maximize long-term stockholder value. The Company and each of its major operating subsidiaries have entered into one or more credit facilities to finance their respective operations. Each of the operating subsidiary credit facilities is nonrecourse to the Company, except as described herein. The Company has guaranteed obligations of FC Capital Corp. to Lehman Commercial Paper, Inc. ($.9 million as of September 30, 2000), limited to an amount of up to $1.0 million, plus interest accruing after demand and collection costs under the guaranty, which arise out of or are related to that certain Master Repurchase Agreement Governing Purchases and Sales of Mortgage Loans dated as of March 31, 1998 between Lehman and FC Capital Corp., including the September 29, 1999 and December 8, 1999 letter agreements. The Company and Funding LP are parties to an Insurance Agreement and Letter Agreement related to the FCAR LLC Retail Automobile Installment Loan Agreement Financing Facility provided by Enterprise Funding Corporation (the "Enterprise Facility"). These agreements require the Company and Funding LP, as servicer and seller, to (i) purchase nonconforming contracts in the event that the seller, the servicer, or the related originator fails to repurchase any contract which is required to be repurchased, (ii) pay certain premiums and other expenses, and (iii) indemnify Enterprise Funding Corporation, the collateral agent, and the insurance provider. Additionally, the Company, pursuant to the terms of the Letter Agreement, has agreed to make certain secondary servicer advances. 26 28 Excluding the term acquisition facilities of the unconsolidated Acquisition Partnerships and the term and warehouse facilities of Drive, as of September 30, 2000, the Company and its subsidiaries had credit facilities providing for borrowings in an aggregate principal amount of $96 million and outstanding borrowings of $82 million. The following table summarizes the material terms of the credit facilities to which the Company, its major operating subsidiaries and the Acquisition Partnerships were parties to as of November 14, 2000 and the outstanding borrowings under such facilities as of September 30, 2000.

Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, any statement that may project, indicate or imply future results, performance or achievements, and may contain the words "expect," "intend," "plan," "estimate," "believe," "will be," "will continue," "will likely result," and similar expressions. Such statements inherently are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. There are many important factors that could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the performance of the Company's subsidiaries and affiliates, availability of Portfolio Assets, assumptions underlying asset performance; the impact of certain covenants in loan agreements of the Company and its subsidiaries; continued availability of the Company's credit facilities; the degree to which the Company is leveraged; the ability of the Company to utilize NOLs; the interest rate risk; prepayment speeds; delinquency and default rates; credit loss rates; changes (legislative and otherwise) in the asset securitization industry; demand for the Company's services; fluctuations in residential and commercial real estate values; risk of declining value of collateral; capital market conditions, including the markets for asset-backed securities; risks associated with foreign operations; currency exchange rate fluctuations; general economic conditions; changes in foreign political, social and economic conditions; regulatory initiatives and compliance with governmental regulations; the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; uncertainties of any litigation that might arise in a bankruptcy proceeding; factors more fully discussed and identified in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed April 6, 2000, and amended on May 1, 2000 (including those discussed under "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations"), as well as other Securities and Exchange Commission filings. Many of these factors are beyond the Company's control. In addition, it should be noted that past financial and operational performance of the Company is not necessarily indicative of future financial and operational performance. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q speak only as of the date of this Form 10-Q. The Company expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement to reflect any change in the Company's expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any forward-looking statement is based. FirstCity is a diversified financial services Company with operations dedicated to portfolio asset acquisition and resolution and consumer lending with offices in the US and with affiliate organizations in France and Mexico. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK. Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. The Company's operations are materially impacted by net gains on sales of loans and net interest margins. The level of gains from loan sales the Company achieves is dependent on demand for the products originated. Net interest margins are dependent on the Company to maintain the spread or interest differential between the interest it charges the customer for loans and the interest the Company is charged for the financing of those loans. The following describes each component of interest bearing assets held by the Company and how each could be affected by changes in interest rates. Portfolio assets consist of investments in pools of non-homogenous assets that predominantly consist of loan and real estate assets. Earnings from these assets are based on the estimated future cash flows from such assets and recorded when those cash flows occur. The underlying loans within these pools bear both fixed and variable rates. Due to the non-performing nature and history of these loans, changes in prevailing bench-mark rates (such as the prime rate or LIBOR) generally have a nominal effect on the ultimate future cash flow to be realized from the loan assets. Furthermore, these pools of assets are held for sale, not for investment; therefore, the disposition strategy is to liquidate these assets as quickly as possible. 28 30 The sub-prime loans the Company sells generally are included in asset backed securities the investor or purchaser issues. These securities are priced at spreads over the LIBOR or an equivalent term treasury security. These spreads are determined by demand for the security. Demand is affected by the perception of credit quality and prepayment risk associated with the loans the Company originates and sells. Interest rates offered to customers also affect prices paid for loans. These rates are determined by review of competitors rate offerings to the public and current prices being paid to the Company for the products. The Company does not hedge these price risks. The Company's residual interests in securitizations represent the present value of the excess cash flows the Company expects to receive over the life of the underlying sub-prime automobile loans. The sub-prime automobile residual interests are affected less by prepayment speeds due to the shorter term of the underlying assets and the fact that the loans are fixed rate, generally at the highest rate allowable by law. Additionally the Company has various sources of financing which have been previously described in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of Item 2. In summary, the Company would be negatively impacted by rising interest rates and declining prices for its sub-prime loans. Rising interest rates would negatively impact the value of residual interests in securitizations and costs of borrowings. Declining prices for the Company's sub-prime loans would adversely effect the levels of gains achieved upon the sale of those loans. There have been no material changes in the quantitative and qualitative risks of the Company since December 31, 1999. 29 31 PART II OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Company and Harbor Financial Group, Inc. (formerly known as FirstCity Financial Mortgage Corporation) filed suit in the Federal District Court for the Western District of Texas, Waco Division, against Chase Bank of Texas, N.A. and Chase Securities, Inc. in September 1999 seeking damages resulting from alleged violations by the defendants of the Bank Holding Company Act and from civil conspiracy engaged in by the defendants, and injunctive relief, arising from an engagement letter entered into between the Company and Chase Securities, Inc. relating to the sale assets or securities of Harbor Financial Group, Inc., Harbor Financial Mortgage Corporation and their subsidiaries (collectively "Harbor"). The Company alleges that Chase Bank of Texas, N.A. conditioned its extension of credit to Harbor on the retention of Chase Securities, Inc. by the Company and Harbor in violation of the Bank Holding Company Act. The Company has, in its First Amended Original Complaint filed in November 1999, sought a judicial declaration that the plaintiffs are not obligated to pay any commission to Chase Securities, Inc. under the engagement letter. The actual damages sought by the Company are in excess of $200,000,000. The Company also seeks recovery of three times its damages pursuant to the Bank Holding Company Act and recovery of its costs of court, including reasonable attorneys fees. A motion to dismiss the Texas suit was granted based upon a provision in the engagement letter that provided that any suit arising from the engagement letter would be pursued in the State of New York. The Company is appealing the order granting dismissal of the suit. On October 4, 1999, Chase Securities, Inc. filed suit against the Company before the Supreme Court for the State of New York, County of New York: Commercial Part seeking recovery of $2,400,000 as the balance of a transaction fee allegedly due it under the terms of the engagement letter, expenses of approximately $3,900, and other just and proper relief. The Company denies that it has any liability to Chase Securities, Inc. and intends to vigorously defend the suit. The Company has asserted as a defense to this action the violations of the Bank Holding Company Act asserted in the litigation pending before the Federal District Court for the Western District of Texas. The Company will amend its answer in the suit to include a counterclaim against Chase Securities, Inc. and an action against Chase Bank of Texas, N.A. under the Bank Holding Company Act as is asserted in the Texas suit. On October 14, 1999, Mortgage Corp. filed voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code before the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division. In a motion filed in those proceedings requesting the appointment of a Chapter 11 Trustee, the debtors state that they were reviewing pre-petition transfers to the Company to determine if those transfers are avoidable. On December 14, 1999, the bankruptcy proceedings were converted to liquidations under Chapter 7 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. The Company believes that it has valid defenses to any allegations that might be made to avoid any pre-petition transfers in connection with the Mortgage Corp. bankruptcy proceedings. The Company is involved in various other legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the resolution of such matters will not have a material adverse impact on the consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity of the Company. ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES In the third quarter of 1999, dividends on the Company's adjusting rate preferred stock were suspended. At September 30, 2000, accumulated dividends in arrears on such preferred stock totaled $3.2 million, or $2.625 per share. 30 32 ITEM 6. EXHIBITS AND REPORTS ON FORM 8-K (a) Exhibits
