                  FIRSTCITY LIQUIDATING TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                 March 31, 1999


(A)      Basis of Presentation

         The unaudited consolidated financial statements of FirstCity
Liquidating Trust (the "Trust", formerly the "Debtor") 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 March 31, 1999, and its changes in net asset value in liquidation and cash
flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 1999 and 1998.

         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):

                                                             --------         --------

Trust assets, net ...................................        $ 41,244         $ 44,015
                                                             ========         ========
</TABLE>


         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 March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998, 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)


         In the first quarter of 1998, the Trust negotiated and received a
settlement of approximately $22 million from its fidelity bond carriers. As a
result of this settlement, there are no remaining claims of this nature.

(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 totaling $188 million were distributed to FirstCity to
retire the Class A Certificate in December 1997. The third order of distribution
of Trust proceeds is payments pursuant to employment and bonus agreements with
certain former employees of the Debtor. The bonus pool and executive long-term
incentive plan provides for the payment of bonuses equal to 4.76% (which
percentage is lower due to employee reductions) of additional distributions to
Class B Certificate holders and (if any) Class C Certificate holders.

         Fourth, Class B Certificate holders are entitled to distributions up to
the Pour-Over Level. The Pour-Over Level (approximately $70 million at March 31,
1999) 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. The Pour-Over Level is also reduced for distributions to Class B
Certificate holders. In the first quarter of 1999, $8.6 million, or $3.50 per
certificate, was distributed to Class B Certificate holders and a $417,000 bonus
was paid to certain former employees of the Debtor. In 1998, $67.7 million, or
$27.50 per certificate, was distributed to Class B Certificate holders and a
$2.6 million bonus was paid to certain former employees of the Debtor. In April
1999, $9.8 million, or $4.00 per certificate, was distributed to Class B
Certificate holders and a $464,000 bonus was paid to certain former employees of
the Debtor.

         Lastly, Class C Certificate holders receive distributions, if any,
after any remaining payments to Class B Certificate holders up to the Pour-Over
Level (approximately $28.28 per unit as of March 31, 1999).

         The ultimate amounts to be distributed to the holders of the B and C
Certificates will result from the cash flow actually realized from the
liquidation of the non-cash Trust assets. 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)      Commitments and 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 is
required, among other things, to provide indemnity to the FDIC against any known
or unknown liabilities, obligations or actual expenses associated with the
receiverships, in an aggregate amount up to $10 million until the later of (i)
January 3, 2000 or (ii) the termination date of the Trust. 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.

</TABLE>


         The estimated fair value of the Trust's assets increased $2.1 million
in the first quarter of 1999 as compared to $24.8 million in the first quarter
of 1998. The 1998 increase was attributable to several factors, including a
settlement of approximately $22 million from the Trust's fidelity bond carriers.
Other factors which contributed to the enhancement of the net asset value of the
Trust's assets in the first quarter of 1999 and 1998 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 decreased in the first
quarter of 1999 as compared to the first quarter of 1998 because less excess
funds were available.

         Administrative expense totaled $1.4 million in the first quarter of
1999 as compared to $1.9 million in the first quarter of 1998. A $417,000 bonus,
based on distributions to Class B Certificate holders, was paid to certain
former employees of the Debtor in the first quarter of 1999 as compared to a
$735,000 bonus paid in 1998. Professional fees totaled $.2 million in the first
quarter of 1999 as compared to $.3 million in the first quarter of 1998.

         In the first quarter of 1999, the Trust distributed $8.6 million, or
$3.50 per certificate, to Class B Certificate holders. This distribution was
made possible principally by $4.9 million in net collections on Trust assets in
1999 and cash held at December 31,1998. The Class B Beneficial Interests were
valued at $47.5 million at March 31, 1999. In April 1999, the Trust distributed
an additional $9.8 million, or $4.00 per certificate, to Class B Certificate
holders.

</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 March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998, the projected
monthly cash flows were discounted at 11% to reflect the Trust assets at
estimated fair value.

         The March 31, 1999 balance sheet of the Trust reflects a value of $27.5
million for a 67% interest in a partnership which owns the First City Tower.
First City Tower is a Class A office building located in downtown Houston. The
$27.5 million valuation reflects significant discounts against the asset because
of litigation (probable appeal of summary judgment rendered in favor of the
Trust) on the building, and because it is only a 67% interest. Using the current
valuation of the Trust, the interest in the First City Tower would have to be
sold for an amount in excess of approximately $50 million for the Class C
Certificates to realize any value. With the recent run-up in values for Houston
downtown office buildings, and assuming the summary judgment is upheld and the
sales price is not drastically discounted because the Trust's interest is only
67%, it is possible that the Class C Certificates could have value at some point
in the future. Investors are advised, however, that the Class C Certificates are
highly speculative securities.

         In the first quarter of 1998, the Trust negotiated and received a
settlement of approximately $22 million from its fidelity bond carriers. As a
result of this settlement, there are no remaining claims of this nature.

<PAGE>   2


         NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants
contained in this Extension Agreement and other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged, the parties agree as
follows:

          1.   DISTRIBUTION OF HOLDBACK ASSIGNMENT OF RIGHTS

               a. ASSIGNMENT OF CASH HOLDBACK. As the final cash payment
          pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Settlement Agreement and the terms of
          the Conveyance and Indemnification Agreement dated October, 1996, the
          FDIC Receivers hereby transfers, assigns and conveys unto FCLT Loans,
          L.P. all of FDIC Receivers' rights, title and interest in and to the
          Cash Holdback.

               b. INDEMNIFICATION. As a condition to and in consideration of the
          assignment of the Cash Holdback from the FDIC Receivers to FCLT Loans,
          L.P., FCLT Loans, L.P. agrees to extend its indemnification of the
          FDIC and agrees to indemnify the FDIC against any known or unknown
          liabilities, obligations or expenses incurred by the FDIC which may
          arise now or in the future until the Termination Date (as hereinafter
          defined) associated with the FDIC Receivers (the "Indemnified
          Obligations"). Such indemnification shall be subject to the conditions
          and limitations, and governed by the procedures, set forth in Section
          2 hereof.

          2.   INDEMNIFICATION

               FCLT Loans, L.P. shall indemnify, and reimburse FDIC for all
          liabilities, obligations, expenses, costs and any loss incurred by the
          FDIC associated with the FDIC Receiverships, including, but not
          limited to, expenses incurred in connection with the Outstanding
          Claims; provided, however, that in no event shall FCLT Loans, L.P.'s
          liability under Section 1(b) and this Section 2 exceed ten million
          dollars ($10,000,000). The term "expenses" as used herein shall
          include, but is not limited to, all research costs, accounting
          charges, review fees, attorneys' fees, court costs, transcript costs,
          fees of experts, witness fees, travel expenses, duplicating costs,
          printing and binding costs, telephone charges, postage, delivery
          service fees, and all other disbursements or expenses of any kind
          incurred in connection with or related to the FDIC Receivers and in
          defending litigation, preparing to defend, investigating, or being or
          preparing to be a witness in litigation.

          3.   GENERAL

               a. DURATION OF AGREEMENT. This Extension Agreement shall continue
          until and terminate on Midnight C.S.T., January 3, 2000, or the final
          termination of FCLT (whichever date is later, the "Termination Date"),
          unless otherwise extended by the parties.



<PAGE>   3

               b. SEVERABILITY. If any provision or provisions of this Extension
          Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for
          any reason whatsoever; (i) the validity, legality and enforceability
          of the remaining provisions of this Extension Agreement (including,
          without limitation, each portion of any section of this Extension
          Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or
          unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable)
          shall not in any way be effected or impaired thereby; and (ii) to the
          fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Extension Agreement
          (including, without limitation, each portion of any section of this
          Extension Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid,
          illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or
          unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent
          manifested thereby.

               c. IDENTICAL COUNTERPARTS. This Extension Agreement may be
          executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall for all
          purposes be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall
          constitute one and the same agreement. Only one such counterpart
          signed by the party against whom enforceability is sought needs to be
          produced to evidence the existence of this Extension Agreement.

               d. WAIVER. No delay on the part of the Indemnitee in exercising
          any power or right shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any
          single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude other or
          further exercise thereof or the exercise of any power or right. No
          waiver by the Indemnitee of any right hereunder or of any default by
          FCLT Loans, L.P. shall be binding upon the Indemnitee unless in
          writing, and no failure by the Indemnitee to exercise any right
          hereunder or waiver of any default FCLT Loans, L.P. shall operate as a
          waiver of any other or further exercise of such right or of any
          further default.

               e. HEADINGS. The headings of the paragraphs of this Extension
          Agreements are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed
          to constitute part of or to effect the construction of this Extension
          Agreement.

               f. MODIFICATION AND WAIVER. This instrument contains the entire
          agreement of the parties with respect to its subject matter. No
          supplement, modification or amendment of this Extension Agreement
          shall be binding unless executed in writing by all of the parties to
          this Extension Agreement. No waiver of any of the provisions of this
          Extension Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of
          any other provisions (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver
          constitute a continuing waiver.

               g. PARTIES BOUND. The rights of the Indemnitee hereunder shall
          inure to the benefit of its successors and assigns. The terms of this
          Extension Agreement shall be binding upon heirs, executors,
          administrators, successors, and assigns of the parties hereto. All
          representations, warranties and agreements of FCLT Loans, L.P. shall
          bind FCLT Loans, L.P.'s personal representatives, heirs, successors
          and assigns.
