THE FIRST CONNECTICUT CAPITAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of The
First Connecticut Capital Corporation (the "Corporation"), formerly known as The
First Connecticut Small Business Investment Company, have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to
Form 10-QSB and Article 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not
include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial
statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair representation have been
included. Operating results are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2001. For further information,
refer to the financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended March 31, 2000.
Certain amounts in the 1999 financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the 2000 presentation.
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Corporation is currently licensed in the state of Connecticut to
operate as Mortgage Lender/Broker.
The Corporation had net income of $103,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 compared to a net income of $167,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 1999. The decrease of $64,000 is due primarily to an increase of
$47,000 of interest paid on the Corporation's line of credit and a decrease in
the income tax benefit of $48,000.
INTEREST INCOME AND OTHER OPERATING INCOME
------------------------------------------
Interest and fees on loans decreased $30,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 2000, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 1999. This
decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the number of mortgage loans
originated and funded by the Corporation. The Northeast in general experienced a
slow down in housing starts for this quarter, which is attributed to higher
interest rates. Management continues to conservatively underwrite new
applications and will not lessen its standards in order to compensate for a
slower real estate market. Inventory levels of unsold properties remains low and
therefore management believes the future of the construction market will remain
strong.
Servicing fees increased by $57,000 for the three months ended June
30, 2000, as compared to the same period in the prior year. This increase is due
to an increase in servicing fees earned on its short-term construction and
remodeling mortgage loans and the Limited Partnership portfolios.

<PAGE>
THE FIRST CONNECTICUT CAPITAL CORPORATION
This increase is partially offset by the continued reduction and liquidation of
the portfolio sold under the Loan and Real Property Purchase Agreement dated
June 29, 1993 (and amended on October 29, 1993). Servicing fees generated by
this portfolio will continue to decline as the portfolio continues to be
liquidated in accordance with such Loan and Real Property Purchase Agreement.
OTHER OPERATING EXPENSE
-----------------------
Total other operating expenses increased by $1,000 during the three
months ended June 30, 2000, as compared to the comparable period of the prior
year. This increase is due to an increase in officers' salaries of $7,000 offset
by a reduction in professional services and other expenses. Management believes
that significant further reduction of other operating expenses will be difficult
to achieve, based on the already extensive reductions that have already been
effected.
INCOME TAX BENEFIT
------------------
An income tax benefit of $45,000 was recorded for the three months
ended June 30, 2000, as compared to $93,000 for the three months ended June 20,
1999, which primarily reflects the reduction of the valuation allowance against
net operating loss carryforwards (NOLS), based on management's assessment of the
amount of NOLS that more likely than not will be realized based on current and
projected profitability.
PLAN OF OPERATION
-----------------
The Corporation is engaged in the mortgage banking business, which
involves the origination, purchase, sale and servicing of mortgage loans
collateralized by residential properties and other real estate. These loans are
predominately collateralized by first mortgage liens on residential properties
and are sold to qualified investors, with origination and servicing fees
retained by the Corporation. The Corporation's revenues consist of loan
servicing fees, loan origination fees, interest on mortgage loans and mortgage
servicing rights.
It is anticipated that based upon the favorable climate in the
construction industry in Connecticut, the Corporation will continue to maintain
its present level of activities in these area. Management is cognizant that
residential construction is seasonal in nature, as well as sensitive to changing
interest rates. As such, we have experienced slower loan demand during the first
quarter. This trend is expected to continue through the next quarter as well.
Management will continue to maintain its strict underwriting standards during
this period of reduced loan demand. We will continue to seek other forms of
short term lending products such as "bridge" financing, land loans, remodeling
loans and small mixed use or commercial properties in order to increase loan
demand while at the same time, exercising conservative and responsible
underwriting standards. All of our products are underwritten pursuant to strict
guidelines which include conservative loan to value ratios, minimum credit
standards and feasible exit strategies.

THE FIRST CONNECTICUT CAPITAL CORPORATION
LINE OF CREDIT
--------------
The Corporation has a $2,000,000 Commercial Line of Credit with The
Hudson United Bank expires December 7, 2000. This $2,000,000 line of credit is
for a term of one year and interest is computed at 2.25% over the Wall Street
Journal Prime Rate. This line is collateralized by an assignment of notes and
mortgages equal to the amount of the loan.
FINANCIAL RESOURCES
-------------------
As of June 30, 2000, the Corporation had approximately $317,000 of
unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and approximately $2.374 million of
Stockholders' Equity.
The Corporation currently anticipates that during the year ending
March 31, 2001, its principal financing needs will consist of funding its
mortgage loans held for sale and the ongoing net cost of mortgage loan
originations. The Corporation believes that cash on hand, internally generated
funds and availability of its line of credit will be sufficient to meet its
corporate, general and administrative working capital and other cash
requirements during the year ending March 31, 2001. Future cash flow
requirements will depend primarily on the level of the Corporation's activities
in originating and selling mortgage loans, as well as cash flow required by its
operations. If construction loan demand increases, the Corporation will require
additional cash to service those requirements. The Corporation continues to
monitor its cash flow requirements, and, due to the aforementioned line of
credit, the Corporation feels it will be able to meet these cash requirements.
