FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 1. Financial Statements.
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
September 30, 2000, and the related notes to the Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements as of September 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.
The results here are not necessarily representative of the results that may be
expected in any future period.
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 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000,
increased approximately 26.2% to approximately $23.4 million, from approximately
$18,598,069 for the comparable interim period in 1999. Revenues in 2000 reflect
an increase in residential real estate sales activity in our primary existing
market (Miami-Dade County, Florida). In addition, this nine-month period
reflects the inclusion of the operations of Ross and Associates, Inc. ("Ross")
and The Daniels Group, Inc. ("Daniels"), both of which were acquired as of
September 1, 2000. In addition, the percentage increase can also be contributed
to the following sources: (i) permanent office in Plantation, Florida (Broward
County); the Broward County operation just began to contribute material revenues
in the third quarter of 1999; (ii) the volume of our mortgage brokerage
operations also increased from 1999 levels; and (iii) for the third quarter of
2000, the operating results of Columbia Title of Florida, Inc. have increased.
3
<PAGE>
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2000, increased to approximately $22.3 million, as compared to
$18.1 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999. The
significant components of our operating expenses are: commissions to real estate
associates, officer and staff salaries, office rental costs, advertising
expenses, promotional expenses and insurance. Our operating expenses also
increased as a result of the costs associated with the acquisitions of Ross and
Daniels in September, 2000, as well as the continued support of our two Broward
County sales offices. During this nine-month period, the Company had significant
professional expenses associated with its continued reporting requirements under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Interest Income and Expense. During the first nine months of 2000 we had a
total interest expense of approximately $108,089, slightly up from approximately
$103,418 during the first nine-months of 1999. This amount was associated with
three borrowings, one of which was the warehouse line of credit for the mortgage
brokerage operations. Interest income was approximately $23,476, down
significantly from approximately $43,479 for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 1999. This was primarily due to lower cash balances and from
mortgage brokerage operations.
Income. We had income of approximately $1,079,689 for the nine-month period
ended September 30, 2000, with an income tax on this amount of $7,488, compared
with approximately $640,727 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999.
Our income from operations was generated principally from the realty services
(brokerage commissions) and, to a lesser extent, from mortgage brokerage
services. Our title insurance operations (Columbia Title) was not profitable
during the third quarter of 2000.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2000, were approximately $1,284,943.
Cash used for operating activities for the first nine months of 2000 was
required primarily for the expenses of the new offices and for an increase in
mortgage loans held for sale, which were funded by the Company's mortgage
warehouse line of credit.
The bulk of cash used for investing activities (approximately $650,695)
represented expenditures for property leasehold improvements and for office
furniture and equipment associated with the acquisitions of Ross and Daniels and
the opening of the new offices.
Cash provided by financing activities was approximately $7,786 for the nine-
month period ended September 30, 2000, principally due to loan proceeds from
line of credit.
At September 30, 2000, we had long term notes payable of approximately
$________. 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 September 30, 2000, the balance
4
<PAGE>
of this "warehouse" line of credit was approximately $________ with a
corresponding asset of "mortgage loans held for sale" of approximately
$_________.
At September 30, 2000, we had shareholder equity of $3,965,021. For the nine-
month period ended September 30, 2000, our deficit in working capital (current
assets minus current liabilities) was $_________, 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 by the end of 2000, and
will contribute to our cash flow and our overall operations.
We believe that our cash flow from operations combined with our ability to
borrow funds will be adequate to fund continuing operations. We expect to
continue to expand our existing business in the South Florida market through the
opening and acquisition of new offices in South Florida. In order to fund this
expansion, we may borrow additional monies from financial institutions or other
third-party sources. In addition, we may from time-to-time sell equity to raise
additional working capital. Using these available sources, as well as
internally generated cash, we expect to have sufficient funds to satisfy our
working capital needs for the immediate future.
Seasonality
Our operations are principally based on the residential real estate market in
South Florida (Miami-Dade and Broward Counties). Historically, this market has
been seasonal with generally higher sales in the second and third fiscal
quarters (April-September). 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 include,
but are not limited to, statements in the Management's Discussion and Analysis
(above) regarding the opening of our new offices and the expansion of our
business in South Florida, our anticipated revenues for 2000, the expected
aggregate value of real estate transactions we handled in 2000, as well as the
anticipated synergies among our three operating units, 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 form those expressed or implied in the forward-looking
statements. Important assumptions and other important factors that could cause
our actual results to differ material 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 including the successful
increase in operation; (ii) the operation of our recently-acquired title company
becoming profitable; (iii) the increased
5
<PAGE>
profitability of our mortgage brokerage business; (iv) the general availability
of home mortgage financing at favorable rates; (v) continued positive economic
climate in the United States; (vi) competition in our existing lines of
business; and (vii) 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.

OTHER INFORMATION
Item 5. Other Information
On September 1, 2000, Esslinger, Wooten & Maxwell, Inc. ("EWM") purchased
substantially all the assets of Ross for $186,300 in stock of the Company. As a
result of this acquisition, accounted for as a purchase, property, plant and
equipment of $46,875, accounts receivable of $41,500 and other assets of $97,925
were recorded. Ross was primarily engaged in the same activity as EWM. Under
the terms of the agreement, the Ross sole shareholder received 138,000 shares of
common stock of the Company on the date of the acquisition. An additional
112,000 "contingent" shares of common stock of the Company will be issued
pending future gross commission income to be generated by the former shareholder
of Ross over the next 12 months. Due to the contingent nature of these shares,
the Company will record them as additional purchase price upon issuance of the
shares.
On September 1, 2000, EWM acquired substantially all the assets of Daniels for
$13,500 in stock of the company. As a result of this acquisition, accounted for
as a purchase, property, plant and equipment totaling $13,500 was recorded.
Daniels was primarily engaged in the same activity as EWM. Under the terms of
the agreement, the shareholder of Daniels received 10,000 shares of common stock
of the Company on the date of the acquisition. Additional cash consideration to
the former shareholder of Daniels may be paid to her, pending achieving certain
commission levels during four separate one-year periods, ending on August 31,
2004. If these commission levels are not achieved during these four separate
one-year periods, no additional cash consideration will be paid. Due to the
contingent nature of this cash consideration, the Company will record this
transaction as additional purchase price upon the former shareholder of Daniels
achieving the required commission levels. Based on recent trading of the
Company's stock, the fair value of the Company's stock price on the acquisition
date was $1.35 per share. The total cost of the acquisition was approximately
$13,500. The results of operations for Daniels are included in the consolidated
condensed statements of income for the period from September 1, 2000 to
September 30, 2000.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING 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 September 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.
The Company created a new subsidiary, First Reserve Insurance, Inc.
("FRINS") in 2000. On September 13, 2000 FRINS signed an exclusive
agreement with an insurance broker to market and sell insurance
products to the clients of EWM and the Company. These insurance
products include, but are not limited to, property and casualty,
automobile, life and health insurance policies. The results of
operations for FRINS are included in the consolidated condensed
statement of income for the period from September 13, 2000 to
September 30, 2000.
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 September 1, 2000, EWM acquired substantially all the assets of
Ross & Associates, Inc. ("Ross") in a business combination accounted
for as a purchase. Ross was primarily engaged in the same activity as
EWM. Under the terms of the agreement, the Ross sole shareholder
received 138,000 shares of common stock of the Company on the date of
the acquisition. An additional 112,000 "contingent" shares of common
stock of the Company will be issued pending future gross commission
income to be generated by the former shareholder of Ross over the
next 12 months. Due to the contingent nature of these shares, the
Company will record them as additional purchase price upon issuance
of the shares.

NOTE 3 - BUSINESS COMBINATIONS (CONTINUED)
Based on recent trading of the Company's stock, the fair value of the
Company's stock price on the acquisition date was $1.35 per share.
The total cost of the acquisition, excluding the contingent shares,
was $186,300. The results of operations for Ross are included in the
consolidated condensed statements of income for the period from
September 1, 2000 to September 30, 2000.
On September 1, 2000, EWM acquired substantially all of the assets of
the Daniels Group, Inc. ("Daniels") in a business combination
accounted for as a purchase. Daniels was primarily engaged in the
same activity as EWM. Under the terms of the agreement, the
shareholder of Daniels received 10,000 shares of common stock of the
Company on the date of the acquisition. Additional cash consideration
to the former shareholder of Daniels may be paid to her, pending
achieving certain commission levels during four separate one-year
periods, ending on August 31, 2004. If these commission levels are
not achieved during these four separate one-year periods, no
additional cash consideration will be paid. Due to the contingent
nature of this cash consideration, the Company will record this
transaction as additional purchase price upon the former shareholder
of Daniels achieving the required commission levels. Based on recent
trading of the Company's stock, the fair value of the Company's stock
price on the acquisition date was $1.35 per share. The total cost of
the acquisition was approximately $13,500. The results of operations
for Daniels are included in the consolidated condensed statements of
income for the period from September 1, 2000 to September 30, 2000.
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 a title company 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. 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 March 31, 1999 to
September 30, 1999 and January 1, 2000 to September 30, 2000.

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 September 30, 2000, the
Company held $7,095,884 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 were 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.
