Immediately following the signature page in this Form 10-QSB.

ITEM 2.     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
            RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

The "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" included herein should be read in conjunction with the Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements of First Reserve, Inc. and subsidiaries, as of
March 31, 2000, and the related notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements, along with the Consolidated Financial Statements of First Reserve,
Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and March 31, 1999, and the
related Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company's Financial
Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States.

The financial information in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" refers to the continuing operations of the
Company.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

REVENUES. The Company's revenues increased approximately 16.7% for the 3-month
period ended March 31, 2000, over those for the 3-month period ended March 31,
1999. The percentage increase resulted from the following sources: (i) new
Plantation office (58.4%); (ii) Columbia Title acquisition (18.3%); (iii)
existing sales offices (27.1%); and (iv) mortgage company operations (-3.8%)

OPERATING EXPENSES. Operating expenses increased to approximately $6.01 million
for the 3-month period ended March 31, 2000 versus $5.10 million for the 3-month
period ended March 31, 1999. The significant components of the Company's
operating expenses are: commissions to real estate associates (64.6%), officer
and staff salaries (9.3%), office rental costs (13.0%), advertising expenses
(17.1%), promotional expenses (2.1%) and insurance (4.4%). The Company's
operating expenses also increased as a result of costs incurred by the Company
in connection with the acquisition of two residential real estate companies, the
acquisition of a title company and the pre-opening costs associated with the
creation of its two Broward County sales offices.

INTEREST. Interest income decreased slightly from $7,094 for the 3-month period
ended March 31, 1999 to $6,369 for the 3-month period ended March 31, 2000
primarily due to lower average daily balances of restricted cash.

NET LOSS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS. The Company had a net loss from operations
of approximately $158,800 for the 3-month period ended March 31, 2000 as
compared to a net loss of approximately

                                      1

<PAGE>


$93,300 for the 3-month period ended March 31, 1999. This increase in net loss
from continuing operations resulted primarily from the opening of the offices in
Broward County and the acquisition of Columbia Title.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash provided by operating activities was approximately $483,000 for the 3-month
period ended March 31, 2000. This was primarily due to an increase in the amount
of cash received from customers.

Cash used for investing activities was approximately $254,700 for the 3-month
period ended March 31, 2000, primarily attributable to the purchase of property
and equipment and the purchase of certain businesses acquired by the Company.

Cash used in financing activities was approximately $572,000 for the 3-month
period ended March 31, 2000, principally due to pay downs on the Company's line
of credit.

At March 31, 2000, the Company had long term notes payable of approximately
$441,000. The Company has a $1.8 million "warehouse" line of credit to fund
loans to be made in connection with its mortgage banking operations. Each
"warehouse" loan is fully backed by a permanent loan "take-out" commitment from
a national lender of residential financing. As of March 31, 2000, the balance of
this "warehouse" line of credit was approximately $255,400 with a corresponding
asset of "mortgage loans held for sale" of $255,400.

At March 31, 2000, the Company had shareholder equity of approximately
$2,534,200. For the 3-month period ended March 31, 2000 the Company's deficit
in working capital (current assets minus current liabilities) was approximately
$39,000, primarily as a result of a significant decrease in mortgage loans held
for sale. The Company believes its current working capital will be sufficient to
support its presently-contemplated strategy for the next 12 months.

Our second office in Broward County was completed in April, 2000. We anticipate
that our Broward County offices will increase opportunities to substantially
increase sales. We anticipate that our title business will be profitable during
2000, and will contribute to our cash flow and our overall operations.

SEASONALITY

The Company's operations are principally based on the residential real estate
market in South Florida. These markets have historically been seasonal with
generally higher sales in the second and third fiscal quarters. Therefore, the
results of any interim period is not necessarily indicative of the results that
might be expected during a full fiscal year.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

From time to time, we make statements about our future results in this Form
10-QSB that may constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based
on our current expectations and the current economic environment. We caution you
that these statements are not guarantees of future performance. They involve a
number of risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Our actual
results could differ materially from those expressed or implied in the
forward-looking statements. Important assumptions and other important factors
that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in the
forward-looking statements, include, but are not limited to: (i) the continued
growth in the residential real estate market in South Florida; (ii) the general
availability of home mortgage financing at favorable rates; (iii) continued
positive economic climate in the United States; (iv) competition in our existing
lines of business; and (v) our ability to obtain and maintain working capital,
whether internally generated or from financing sources (on acceptable terms) in
order to finance our growth strategy.

                        FIRST RESERVE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                     (Unaudited)


NOTE  1 -  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNT POLICIES
           In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed
           consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments
           (consisting of only normal and recurring adjustments) necessary to
           present fairly the financial position of First Reserve, Inc. and
           Subsidiaries ("the Company") as of March 31, 2000 and the results of
           their operations and cash flows for the three-month periods then
           ended March 31, 2000 and 1999. The results of operations for such
           interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for a
           full year. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim
           financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
           accepted accounting principles for interim financial reporting and
           with instructions to Form 10-QSB and, accordingly, do not include all
           disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. The
           condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
           conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and
           the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements included
           in the Company's Form 10-KSB annual report for 1999 filed with the
           Securities and Exchange Commission.

           The accounting policies followed for interim financial reporting are
           the same as those disclosed in Note 1 of the notes to the
           consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Form
           10-KSB annual report for the year ended December 31, 1999.

NOTE  2 -  ESTIMATES
           The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
           accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
           and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial
           statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from
           those estimates.

NOTE  3-   BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
           On March 31, 1999, the Company acquired all the stock of Columbia
           Title of Florida, Inc. ("Columbia") in a business combination
           accounted for as purchase. Columbia is engaged in the business of
           closing real estate and mortgage loan transactions, primarily in the
           South Florida area. Columbia has two branches, Miami and Key Largo,
           Florida. Under the terms of the agreement, the shareholder of
           Columbia (seller) received $100 for the stock of Columbia. The
           agreement also provided for additional consideration if the assets of
           the Key Largo branch were sold within ninety days of the acquisition
           date. If this condition was met, the seller would received
           eighty-five percent (85%) of the net proceeds of the sale of the
           assets of the Key Largo branch. If the sale did not effectuate within
           the ninety days, all the assets of the Key Largo branch would be
           transferred back to the seller. The sale of the Key Largo branch was
           made within the ninety day period. As a result, additional
           consideration of $191,250 for the acquisition of the stock was
           recorded after March 31, 1999. The total cost of the acquisition

<PAGE>
           was approximately $191,350. Goodwill of approximately $257,340
           resulting from this transaction is being amortized on the
           straight-line method over 20 years. The results of operations of
           Columbia are included in the condensed consolidated statements of
           income from January 1, 2000 to March 31, 2000.

           The unaudited pro forma information for the period set forth below
           gives effect to the 1999 Columbia acquisition accounted for under the
           purchase method of accounting as if it had occurred on January 1,

NOTE  4 -  CASH HELD IN TRUST
           The Company maintains separately designated Trust accounts for home
           buyers' earnest money, property owners, tenants and other third
           parties. The Company holds such funds until sold properties are
           closed and leases have expired. Funds are disbursed in accordance
           with the settlement instructions or rental management agreements.
           These funds are not recorded in the Company's financial statements as
           they are held in a fiduciary capacity. At March 31, 2000 and 1999,
           the Company held $5,487,924 of funds in trust, respectively.

NOTE  5 -  MORTGAGE LOANS HELD FOR SALE
           Mortgage loans held for sale consist primarily of residential
           mortgage loans made in connection with Embassy's mortgage banking
           operations and are reported at

           the lower of cost or market value. The method used to determine this
           amount is the commitment price from national lenders utilizing the
           individual loan method. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized
           through a valuation allowance by charges to income. Each loan is
           fully backed by a permanent loan "take-out commitment" from a
           national lender of residential financing. The mortgage loans are
           purchased by the national lender once permanent financing is secured,
           usually within five to twelve days of original funding.

NOTE  6 -  LEGAL AND OTHER SETTLEMENTS
           Included in legal and other settlements amounts are costs incurred by
           EWM in settling various disputes arising with customers or tenants in
           the ordinary course of business.

NOTE  7 -  CONTINGENT SHARES
           Under the terms of the September 30, 1998 merger agreement between
           the Company and Gerard International Realty, Inc. ("Gerard"), the
           former shareholders of Gerard would receive an additional 200,000
           "contingent" shares of common stock of the Company, pending future
           gross commission income to be generated by the former shareholders of
           Gerard over a 24 month "review" period, beginning September 30, 1998.
           These contingent shares were held in escrow. At September 30, 1999,
           the former shareholders of Gerard had met the gross commission income
           requirements stated in the agreement and 200,000 of contingent shares
           were issued as common stock and valued at $1 per share. As a result,
           goodwill and common stock of $200,000 was recorded.

NOTE  8 -  EARNINGS PER SHARE
           Basic earnings per share ("EPS") was computed by dividing net income
           by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during
           the period. Diluted EPS were determined on the assumption that the
           contingent shares where excised at the beginning of the period, or at
           time of issuance, if later.

           The following is the calculation of earnings per share:

           Warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock at $2.57 per
           share and 500,000 shares of common stock at $2.96 per share were
           outstanding for the three month period ended March 31, 2000 and 1999,
           but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the
           warrants' exercise price was greater than the average market price of
           the common shares. The warrants, which expire on August 31, 2003,
           were still outstanding at the end of the three month periods ending
           March 31, 2000 and 1999.
