                  FIRSTCITY LIQUIDATING TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                 June 30, 1997


(A)      Basis of Presentation

         The unaudited consolidated financial statements of FirstCity
         Liquidating Trust (the "Trust") reflect, in the opinion of management,
         all adjustments, consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments,
         necessary to present fairly the Trust's net assets in liquidation at
         June 30, 1997, and its changes in net asset value in liquidation and
         cash flows for the three month and six month periods ended June 30,
         1997 and 1996.

         Management of the Trust has made certain estimates and assumptions
         relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure
         of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these consolidated
         financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
         principles.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

         Certain amounts in the financial statements for prior periods have
         been reclassified to conform with current financial statement
         presentation.

(B)      Trust Assets

         Trust assets are comprised of the following (dollars in thousands):

         For each asset, estimates of income, expense and net cash flow on a
         monthly basis through the expected final disposition date are
         prepared.  The individual asset budget is developed based upon factors
         which include physical inspection of the asset or the collateral
         underlying the related loan, local market conditions, contractual
         payments or rents, and discussions with the relevant borrower.  The
         Trust's management and the Portfolio Committee periodically reevaluate
         and revise projected monthly cash flows on an asset by asset basis.
         At June 30, 1997 and  December 31, 1996, the projected monthly cash
         flows were discounted at 11% to reflect the Trust assets at estimated
         fair value.  The Trust assets are highly concentrated in Texas.

                  FIRSTCITY LIQUIDATING TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                  (continued)


         (C)     Distribution Priorities

         The Trust is required to apply all proceeds from liquidation and
         disposition of the Trust's assets first to payment of normal operating
         expenses.  Second, Trust proceeds are distributed to FirstCity, the
         sole Class A Certificate holder, for payment of principal and interest
         on senior subordinated notes and redemption of special preferred
         stock.  Pursuant to a June 1997 agreement with FirstCity, the Trust
         will retire its obligation to FirstCity under the Class A Certificate
         by paying FirstCity $22.75 per share for the 1,923,481 outstanding
         special preferred shares at June 30, 1997, the 1997 second quarter
         dividend of $.7875 per share, and 15% interest from June 30, 1997, on
         the nominal stated value ($21.0 million) of shares not retired by June
         30, 1997.  The Trust distributed $105.7 million to FirstCity in 1996
         for the early redemption of senior subordinated notes and $1 million
         senior subordinated notes held by the Trust were canceled.  In
         addition, the Trust distributed $9.6 million to FirstCity in 1996 and
         $5.1 million through July 15, 1997 for accrued dividends on special
         preferred stock.  In 1997, the Trust, in cooperation with FirstCity,
         began making distributions to FirstCity for the purchase of FirstCity
         special preferred stock.  As of June 30, 1997, the Trust had
         distributed approximately $12.6 million to FirstCity for the
         repurchase by FirstCity of 537,430 shares (nominal stated value of
         $11.3 million) of special preferred stock.  On June 30, 1997, the
         Trust distributed $21.0 million to FirstCity related to 923,481
         special preferred shares under the June 1997 agreement discussed
         above.  In July 1997 the Trust distributed $15.5 million to FirstCity,
         reducing the Class A Certificate obligation to approximately $7.4
         million.

         The third order of distribution of Trust proceeds is payments pursuant
         to employment agreements with certain former employees of the Debtor.
         Fourth, Class B Certificate holders (and, pursuant to bonus
         agreements, certain former employees of the Debtor) are entitled to
         distributions up to the Pour-Over Level (as hereinafter defined).  The
         bonus pool and executive long-term incentive plan provides for the
         payment of $750,000 in bonuses to certain former employees of the
         Debtor after the Trust achieves approximately $275 million of net
         collections, the payment of  another $750,000 after approximately $30
         million of additional net  collections, and the payment of bonuses in
         the amount of 5% of all net collections in excess of $305 million.
         The Pour-Over Level (approximately $134 million at June 30, 1997) is
         the liquidation preference on July 3, 1995 of the Debtor's Series B
         and Series E preferred stock, less the nominal stated value of
         FirstCity special preferred stock and the book value of FirstCity
         common stock issued to the Series B and Series E holders, plus
         interest at an annual rate of 6.5% from July 3, 1995.  Lastly, Class C
         Certificate holders receive distributions, if any, after all required
         payments (approximately $54.32 per Class B Certificate unit at June
         30, 1997) to Class B Certificate holders.  No distributions to Class C
         Certificate holders are anticipated.

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                  (continued)


         The ultimate amounts to be distributed to the holders of the A, B and
         C Certificates will result from the cash flow actually realized from
         the liquidation of the non-cash Trust assets and contingent asset
         claims.  The determination of the net asset value of the Trust in the
         accompanying consolidated statements of net assets in liquidation is
         based upon estimates of future cash flows.  The actual cash flows and
         the timing of such cash flows may vary significantly from those
         estimates, thus affecting the final distributions to the Certificate
         holders.

(D)      Investment Management Agreement

         Pursuant to an investment management agreement, FirstCity managed the
         liquidation of Trust assets and the Trust paid FirstCity a 3%
         servicing fee on collections (as defined in the Investment Management
         Agreement) up to a specified level of collections.  Thereafter, the
         servicing fee percentage increased with additional levels of
         collections. In the first quarter of 1997, the Investment Management
         Agreement was terminated and, in consideration of this termination,
         the Trust paid FirstCity $6.8 million, plus interest at a rate of 10
         percent per annum from January 1, 1997 until paid. Administrative
         expense includes $6.8 million in the first six months of 1997 and $2.3
         million in the first six months of 1996, for servicing fees.

(E)      Contingencies

         The Trust is involved in various legal proceedings in the ordinary
         course of business.  In the opinion of management of the Trust, the
         resolution of such matters should not have a material adverse impact
         on the financial position, results of operations or liquidity of the
         Trust.

         In 1996, the FDIC closed the receiverships of the Debtor's banks and
         distributed the remaining surplus of those receiverships to the Trust.
         In accordance with a conveyance and indemnification agreement, the
         Trust will be required, among other things, to provide indemnity until
         March 31, 1999 to the FDIC against any known or unknown liabilities,
         obligations or actual expenses which may arise now or in the future
         associated with the receiverships, in an aggregate amount up to $12
         million.  Management of the Trust does not believe that, to the extent
         the Trust is obligated to pay certain claims or expenses associated
         with the past obligations of the Debtor's banks, such payments will
         have a material adverse impact on the financial position, results of
         operations or liquidity of the Trust.

              SECOND QUARTER 1997 COMPARED TO SECOND QUARTER 1996

              The estimated fair value of the Trust's assets increased $16.5
million in the second quarter of 1997 as compared to $10.6 million in the
second quarter of 1996, an increase attributable to several factors, including
approximately $7 million based on the contract sales price (expected to close
in the fourth quarter of 1997) of a large asset.  Other factors which
contributed to the enhancement of the net asset value of the Trust's assets in
the second quarters of 1997 and 1996 include (i) the appreciation in value of
certain assets attributable to a favorable interest rate environment and the
effect of such favorable interest rates on the marketability of real estate and
(ii) the increase in the estimated market value of the Trust's assets that
naturally occurs as the remaining life of the Trust (and concomitantly the
discount factor applied in calculating net asset value) decreases.

              Interest income on short-term investments increased in the second
quarter of 1997 as compared to the second quarter of 1996 because more excess
funds were available.  Interest expense in the second quarter of 1996 resulted
from borrowings to facilitate the early redemption of FirstCity senior
subordinated notes.

              Administrative expense totaled $1.4 million in the second quarter
of  1997 as compared to $3.6 million in the second quarter of 1996.  In the
first quarter of 1997, the Investment Management Agreement was terminated;
therefore, there were no servicing fees in the second quarter of 1997.
Comparatively, servicing fees paid to FirstCity were $1.1 million in the second
quarter of 1996.  Professional fees totaled $.6 million in the second quarter
of 1997 as compared to $1.2 million in the second quarter of 1996.

   SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996

              The estimated fair value of the Trust's assets increased $28.3
million in the first six months of 1997 as compared to $25.9 million in the
first six months of 1996, an increase attributable to several factors,
including the elimination of servicing fees to FirstCity (which were netted
against future cash flows) because the Investment Management Agreement was
terminated and $7 million related to a contract sales price (discussed above).
The estimated fair value of the Trust's assets increased in the first six
months of 1996, in part due to loan recoveries that exceeded anticipated
recoveries by approximately $1.4 million and an increase in the estimated
residual value of the Trust's receivable from the FDIC of $3.5 million.  Other
factors which contributed to the enhancement of the net asset value of the
Trust's assets in the first six months of 1997 and 1996 include (i) the
appreciation in value of certain assets attributable to a favorable interest
rate environment and the effect of such favorable interest rates on the
marketability of real estate and (ii) the increase in the estimated market
value of the Trust's assets that naturally occurs as the remaining life of the
Trust (and concomitantly the discount factor applied in calculating net asset
value) decreases.

              Interest income on short-term investments increased in the first
six months of 1997 as compared to the first six months of 1996 because more
excess funds were available.  Interest expense in the first six months of 1997
resulted from the termination of the Investment Management Agreement, as
discussed below. In 1996, interest expense resulted from borrowings to
facilitate the early redemption of FirstCity senior subordinated notes.

              Administrative expense totaled $9.3 million in the first six
months of  1997 as compared to $6.9 million in the first six months of 1996.
In the first quarter of 1997, the Investment Management Agreement was
terminated and, in consideration of this termination, the Trust paid FirstCity
$6.8 million, plus interest at a rate of 10 percent per annum from January 1,
1997 until paid.  Comparatively, servicing fees paid to FirstCity were only
$2.3 million in the first six months of 1996.  Professional fees totaled $1.0
million in the first six months of 1997 as compared to $1.9 million in the
first six months of 1996.

              Pursuant to a June 1997 agreement with FirstCity, the Trust will
retire its obligation to FirstCity under the Class A Certificate by paying
FirstCity $22.75 per share for the 1,923,481 outstanding special preferred
shares at June 30, 1997, the 1997 second quarter dividend of $.7875 per share,
and 15% interest from June 30, 1997, on the nominal stated value ($21.0
million) of shares not retired by June 30, 1997.  At June 30, 1997, the net
asset value attributable to the Class A Certificate was $24.3 million,
representing the $22.8 million retirement price of FirstCity's special
preferred stock and $1.5 million of accrued dividends on special preferred
stock.

              The Trust distributed $5.1 million to FirstCity through July 15,
1997, for accrued dividends on special preferred stock. In the first six months
of 1997, the Trust, in cooperation with FirstCity, began making distributions
to FirstCity for the purchase by FirstCity of its special preferred stock.  As
of June 30, 1997, the Trust had distributed approximately $12.6 million to
FirstCity for the repurchase by FirstCity of 537,430 shares of special
preferred stock.  On June 30, 1997, the Trust distributed $21.0 million to
FirstCity related to 923,481 special preferred shares under the June 1997





                                       8
<PAGE>   9
agreement discussed above.  In July 1997 the Trust distributed $15.5 million to
FirstCity, reducing the Class A Certificate obligation to approximately $7.4
million.  These distributions were made possible principally by $22.9 million
in net collections on Trust assets in the first six months of  1997 and cash
held at December 31, 1996.  The Class B Beneficial Interests were valued at
$79.5 million at June 30, 1997.  Distributions to Class C Certificate holders
are not anticipated.

              Non-cash trust assets at June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996 were
comprised of the following (dollars in thousands):

</TABLE>


                 For each asset, estimates of income, expense and net cash flow
on a monthly basis through the expected final disposition date are prepared by
management of the Trust.  The individual asset budget is developed based upon
factors which include physical inspection of the asset or the collateral
underlying the related loan, local market conditions, contractual payments or
rents, and discussions with the relevant borrower.  The Trust's management
periodically reevaluates and revises its projected monthly cash flows on an
asset by asset basis.  At June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, the projected
monthly cash flows were discounted at 11% to reflect the Trust assets at
estimated fair value.

                 Two of the most significant assets of the Trust are a downtown
Houston office building and a 67% interest in a partnership which owns a second
downtown Houston office building.  Both assets are currently under contract for
sale.  The $79.5 million current valuation of the Class B Beneficial Interests
includes a $15 million valuation for the owned building, which is the
contracted sale price, and a $9 million valuation for the 67% partnership
interest.  In the second quarter of 1997, the Trust announced that the 67%
partnership interest was under a contract for sale for $18 million.  However,
the valuation for the partnership interest has been left at the lower amount of
$9 million, which reflects current book value, because the sale is a
complicated transaction involving other parties and it is difficult to predict
if and when the sale will be completed.  If the transaction closes, the Class B
Beneficial Interests valuation will increase by approximately $8 million.

                 At June 30, 1997, the Trust also held certain claims, such as
claims under fidelity bonds and judgments and deficiencies arising from charged
off loans to former borrowers of the Debtor's banks.  The estimated future cash
flows from which the net asset value of the Trust was derived include estimated
future collections which might be realized from such claims only when such




                                       9
<PAGE>   10
amounts are reasonably certain and estimable.  No value was assigned at June
30, 1997. In the first quarter of 1997, a claim (valued at $8 million on
December 31, 1996) against former directors and officers of the Debtor of
approximately $8 million was collected.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 5.  Other Information.

                 The amounts of items of income, gain, loss, and deduction to
be allocated to each of the Class A, Class B, and Class C Certificate holders
for any taxable year will be based, in part, on the amount of income earned by
the assets in the Trust, including the assets held through partnerships, as
well as the amount of gain or loss recognized on the sale of such assets.
Because of the significant contingencies remaining as to what income, gain or
loss will be recognized, it is not possible to estimate at this time the amount
of income, gain or loss that will be allocated to any Certificate holder (and
consequently taken into account on such holder's own tax return).  The current
market price of a Class B Certificate is significantly in excess of the basis
of the assets held indirectly by the Trust attributable to such Certificate.
As a result of this excess, the Portfolio Committee instructed its advisors to
analyze the possible tax impact to Certificate holders under various pro forma
assumptions.  As a result of such preliminary analysis, the Portfolio Committee

         NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

         1.      DISTRIBUTION DATES AND DISTRIBUTION AMOUNTS.

         FirstCity and the Trust agree that June 30, 1997, shall be a
Distribution Date and that the Distribution Amount on the First Distribution
Date shall be the First Distribution Amount.  FirstCity and the Trust agree
that on or about July 31, 1997, shall be a Distribution Date and that the

         2.      PAYMENT IN FULL OF NEW SPECIAL PREFERRED STOCK DIVIDEND AMOUNT
AND NEW SPECIAL PREFERRED STOCK REDEMPTION AMOUNT.  Upon payment of the First
Distribution Amount and the Second Distribution Amount, the Aggregate
Distribution Amount with respect to the New Special Preferred Stock Dividend
Amount and the New Special Preferred Stock Redemption Amount shall be deemed to
have been paid in full and the Trust shall have no further obligation to make
any distributions to the holder of the Class A Certificate with respect to the

Redemption Amount.  Upon payment of the Aggregate Distribution Amount,
FirstCity, the sole holder of the Class A Certificate, shall immediately

an amount equal to the difference between (I) the First Distribution Amount
plus the Second Distribution Amount less (II) the Non-Exchanging Shares Amount.

         4.      RESERVATION AMOUNT.  FirstCity and the Trust acknowledge and
agree that pursuant to the terms of the Trust Agreement, the holder of the
Class A Certificate is entitled to receive Distribution Amounts other than the
New Special Preferred Stock Dividend Amount and the New Special Preferred Stock
Redemption Amount (the "Future Distribution Amounts").  Prior to receipt by the
Trust of a written notice from FirstCity that a Future Distribution Amount is
or may become due and payable (a "Reservation Notice"), the Aggregate
Distribution Amount with respect to the FirstCity Amount, New Special Preferred
Stock Dividend Amount and New Special Preferred Stock Redemption Amount shall
be treated as paid in full or reserved in full under Section 7.2(1)(b)(i) of
the Trust Agreement and, subject to the other provisions of Section 7.2 of the
Trust Agreement, distributions may be made to the holders of the Class B
Certificates and Class C Certificates.  Upon receipt of a Reservation Notice,
no further distributions shall be made to the holders of the Class B
Certificates or the Class C Certificates until the Future Distribution Amount
described in the Reservation Notice has either been paid in full or reserved in
full to the reasonable satisfaction of FirstCity.

         5.      QUIET PERIOD.  Neither the Trust or FirstCity shall purchase,
or request or cause the other to purchase, any shares of the Special Preferred
Stock after the date of this Agreement.

         granting such waiver, but such waiver or failure to insist upon strict

         all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the
         benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties hereto and their

         hereunder must be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly

         shall be held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any
         applicable law, then such contravention or invalidity shall not
         invalidate the entire Agreement.  Such provision shall be deemed to be
         modified to the extent necessary to render it legal, valid and
         enforceable, and if no such modification shall render it legal, valid
         and enforceable, then this Agreement shall be construed as if not

         obligations of the parties shall be construed and enforced
