NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION

The June 30, 2000 financial statements for the City Investing Company
Liquidating Trust (the "Trust") are unaudited. In the opinion of the Trustees,
the interim financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation of the financial position and income and expenses of the Trust as
prepared on a Federal income tax basis. Results for interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the basis of
accounting used for Federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, certain revenue
and the related assets are recognized when received rather than when earned; and
certain expenses are recognized when paid rather than when the obligation is
incurred; and assets are reflected at their tax basis.

NOTE 3 - GAINS (LOSSES) ON DISPOSITIONS OF ASSETS

Gains (losses) on dispositions of assets, net, include settlement costs and
legal fees attributable to the disposition of assets incurred in connection with
the defense of litigation against the Trust.

NOTE 4 - TRUST AGREEMENT

In accordance with the Trust Agreement, the Trust has assumed the obligation to
make payments, where required, to discharge certain litigation and other
contingent liabilities of City Investing Company ("City") which existed on
September 25, 1985.

NOTE 5 - INVESTMENT SECURITIES

Investment securities consist of U.S. Treasury Bills with maturities of less
than one year and are carried at cost. The fair value of U.S. Treasuries is

1983 note received from Texas City Investment Company ("Texas City") in
connection with a sale of land located in Galveston County, Texas. Texas City
failed to fully pay the note in accordance with its terms. On January 2, 1990,
the beneficial owners of the note (including the Trust) foreclosed on the
property securing the note. The Trust now holds an undivided interest in the
mortgage receivable on the property. The Trust realized a long term gain of $20
on a sale of approximately one-half of one per cent of the real estate during
the third quarter of 1998.

In February 2000, the Trust sold about 39 percent of the real estate acreage for
approximately $2,410 cash, which resulted in a long-term capital gain of $610.
In May 2000, the Trust sold the remaining real estate acreage for approximately
$476 cash and a non-recourse promissory note of approximately $3,683, payable in
five equal annual installments, bearing interest at 8 percent allocable to the
Trust. The May 2000 sale resulted in a recognized long-term capital gain of some
$171. The deferred gain of $1,171 has been recorded as a reduction to the
mortgage receivable of $3,683. The Year 2000 U.S. Federal Tax Information letter
will provide sufficient detail to permit those taxpayers who are required or
choose to report the deferred gain attributable to the mortgage portion of the
proceeds.

NOTE 9 - LITIGATION AND OTHER CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

In accordance with the Trust Agreement, the Trust has assumed the obligation to
make payments, where required, to discharge certain litigation and other
contingent liabilities of City which existed at September 25, 1985. The Trust
may have a contingent liability with respect to an issue raised by the Internal
Revenue Service upon audit of tax returns of City Investing Company filed with
respect to periods ending on or before September 25, 1985. This issue is
currently pending before the Tax Court of the United States. This issue, if
resolved unfavorably to City, would result in a substantial liability. As other
parties are primarily and jointly responsible for this contingent liability, the
Trust is unable to estimate the ultimate cost, if any, of its exposure. The
Trust also remains subject to possible claims by the United States Environmental
Protection Agency and other third parties.

Lease Commitment. The Trust agreed to enter into a one-year lease of office
space that expires June 30, 2001 with a monthly rental payment of $2.

NOTE 10 - FUTURE DISTRIBUTIONS OF TRUST ASSETS

The existence of the contingent liabilities referred to in Note 9 may affect the
timing of future distributions of Trust assets.

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

It is difficult to compare amounts in comparable periods, as the financial
statements of the Trust are prepared on the basis of accounting used for Federal
income tax purposes; that is, amounts are reflected in the financial statements
when amounts are received or paid.

The Trust recorded net income of $1,053 ($0.03 per unit) in the second quarter
of 2000 and net income of $1,770 ($0.05 per unit) in the six-month period ended
June 30, 2000, compared to net income of $759 ($0.02 per unit) and net income of
$1,446 ($0.04 per unit) in the corresponding 1999 periods. The reported gains
(losses) on the dispositions of assets, net, reflect gains of $157 and $191 in
the second quarter and six-month periods of 2000 as compared to losses of $16
and 29 in the respective 1999 periods. In February 2000, the Trust sold about 39
percent of the real estate acreage for approximately $2,410 cash, which resulted
in a long- term capital gain of $610. In May 2000, the Trust sold the remaining
real estate acreage for approximately $476 cash and a non-recourse promissory
note of approximately $3,683, payable in five equal annual installments, bearing
interest at 8 percent allocable to the Trust. The May 2000 sale resulted in a
recognized long-term capital gain of some $171. The deferred gain of $1,171 has
been recorded as a reduction to the mortgage receivable of $3,683. The Year 2000
U.S. Federal Tax Information letter will provide sufficient detail to permit
those taxpayers who are required or choose to report the deferred gain
attributable to the mortgage portion of the proceeds.

In February 2000, the Trust also received $20 as the final liquidating
distribution from Global Bancorporation which resulted in a long-term capital
loss of $562. Other expenses affecting gains (losses) on disposition of assets,
net, consist of legal fees incurred in connection with the defense of litigation
against the Trust.

Interest, dividend and other income, principally consisting of interest earned
on the investment of cash equivalents and investment securities, was $959 and
$1,718 in the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2000, and $829 and
$1,615 in the corresponding 1999 periods. The increase in the second quarter and
six-month period of 2000 was due to the Treasury issuing Treasury Bills only
once a quarter so that the Trust had to extend its investment in Treasury Bills
by five weeks in the second quarter and an increase in yield on investment
securities compared to the 1999 periods. Administrative expenses were $63 and
$139 for the second quarter and six months of 2000, compared with $54 and $140
for the comparable 1999 periods.

At June 30, 2000, the Trust had cash and cash equivalents and U. S. Treasury
Bills of $72,178. The Trustees believe that such cash resources and investment
securities are sufficient to meet all anticipated liquidity requirements.
