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
June 30, 2000, and the related notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements as of June 30, 2000 and 1999, and December 31, 1999, and the related
Notes to the 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

Our real estate brokerage business is subject to seasonal fluctuations because
more home sale transactions tend to close during the second and third quarters
of the year. As a result, our operating results and profitability are typically
higher in the second and third quarters relative to the remainder of the year.

Revenues. Our revenues increased approximately 29.3% for the six-month period
ended June 30, 2000, over those for the six-month period ended June 30, 1999.
The percentage increase resulted from the following sources: (i) new Plantation
office (8.9%); (ii) Columbia Title acquisition (3.0%); (iii) existing sales
offices (84.0%); and (iv) mortgage company operations (4.1%).

Operating Expenses. Our operating costs and expenses increased to approximately
$14.7 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2000, as compared to $11.6
million for the six-month period ended June 30, 1999. The significant components
of our operating expenses are: commissions to real estate associates (68.0%),
officer and staff salaries (10.9%), office rental costs (3.5%), advertising
expenses (4.4%), promotional expenses (0.5%) and insurance (1.0%). Our operating
expenses also increased as a result of costs incurred by us in connection with
the creation of its two Broward County sales offices.

Interest. Interest income decreased slightly from $18,615 for the six-month
period ended June 30, 2000 to $12,580 for the six-month period ended June 30,
2000 primarily due to lower average daily cash balances.

                                       1

Net Income from Continuing Operations. We had a net income from operations of
approximately $586,299 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2000 as compared
to a net gain of approximately $436,057 for the six-month period ended June 30,
1999. This increase in net gain from continuing operations resulted primarily
from the operations of the Plantation office in Broward County, more closings in
the Coral Gables and Miami Beach offices, more activity in Columbia Title and
more income in the mortgage broker operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash provided from our operations was approximately $664,015 for the
six-month period ended June 30, 2000. This was primarily due to an increase in
the amount of cash received from customers, decrease in mortgage loans held for
sale, offset by an increase in cash paid to sales respresentatives and
employees.

Cash used for investing activities was approximately $627,106 for the six-month
period ended June 30, 2000, primarily attributable to the purchase of property
and equipment in connection with office openings.

Cash provided by financing activities was approximately $183,119 for the
six-month period ended June 30, 2000, principally due to loan proceeds from line
of credit.

At June 30, 2000, we had long term notes payable of approximately $452,000. We
have 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 June 30, 2000, the balance of this "warehouse" line
of credit was approximately $1,011,000 with a corresponding asset of "mortgage
loans held for sale" of approximately $1,020,000.

At June 30, 2000, we had shareholder equity of $3,274,719. For the six-month
period ended June 30, 2000 our deficit in working capital (current assets minus
current liabilities) was $525,789, primarily as a result of an increase in
mortgage loans held for sale and the reclassification of a note payable from
long-term to short-term.

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

Seasonality

Our operations are principally based on the residential real estate market in
South Florida. These markets have historically been both cyclical and seasonal.
We experience 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.

            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 June 30, 2000 and the results of
          their operations and cash flows for the periods then ended. 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 receive 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 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 June 30, 2000.

NOTE 3 -  BUSINESS COMBINATIONS (CONTINUED)
          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, 1999
          after giving effect to certain adjustments, including increased
          goodwill amortization generated from the acquisition. The proforma
          adjustments are based upon available information and certain
          assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable. The pro forma
          information is presented for informational purposes only and is not
          necessarily indicative of the results of operations that actually
          would have been achieved had this transaction been consummated at the
          beginning of the period presented:

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 June 30, 2000, the Company held
          $7,299,113 of funds in trust.

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:

NOTE 8 -  EARNINGS PER SHARE (CONTINUED)
          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 six- month period ended June 30, 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 six-month periods ending June 30, 2000
          and 1999.
