                      HOMEFED CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
               NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements,  which reflect all
     adjustments  (consisting  only of normal  recurring  items) that management
     believes are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of
     operations and cash flows,  should be read in conjunction  with the audited
     consolidated  financial  statements  for HomeFed  Corporation  for the year
     ended  December 31, 1999 which are included in the Company's  Annual Report
     on Form 10-K,  as amended by Form 10-K/A,  for such year (the "1999 10-K").
     Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
     annual results of operations.  The  consolidated  balance sheet at December
     31, 1999 was derived  from the  Company's  audited  consolidated  financial
     statements in the 1999 10-K, and does not include all disclosures  required
     by  generally   accepted   accounting   principles  for  annual   financial
     statements.

     During the third quarter of 1999, the limited liability agreement governing
     Otay Land Company,  LLC ("Otay Land  Company") was amended and as a result,
     the Company now has the ability to control Otay Land Company.  Accordingly,
     effective  September  20, 1999,  Otay Land Company has been included in the
     Company's  consolidated  financial  statements.  The Company previously had
     accounted for this  investment  under the equity method of accounting;  the
     noncash effects on the consolidated financial statements were a decrease in
     the investment in Otay Land Company of $9,988,000,  an increase in minority
     interest  of  $10,928,000  and an increase in land and real estate held for
     development and sale of $20,976,000.

2.   As of August 14,  1998,  the Company  and  Leucadia  Financial  Corporation
     ("LFC"),  a  wholly-owned   subsidiary  of  Leucadia  National  Corporation
     ("Leucadia") entered into an Amended and Restated Loan Agreement,  pursuant
     to which the Company and LFC amended the original loan agreement dated July
     3, 1995 and restructured  the outstanding 12% Secured  Convertible Note due
     2003  held  by  LFC.  The  Restructured  Note  has a  principal  amount  of
     approximately  $26,462,000  (reflecting the original $20,000,000  principal
     balance of the  Convertible  Note,  together  with  additions  to principal
     resulting  from  accrued  and  unpaid  interest  thereon to the date of the
     restructuring, as allowed under the terms of the Convertible Note), extends
     the  maturity  date from July 3, 2003 to  December  31,  2004,  reduces the
     interest rate from 12% to 6% and eliminates the  convertibility  feature of
     the  Convertible  Note.  Interest  only  on the  Restructured  Note is paid
     quarterly and all unpaid principal is due on the maturity date. Interest of
     approximately  $1,188,000 was expensed and paid for the  Restructured  Note
     during each of the nine month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999. As
     a result of the  restructuring  of the Convertible  Note, the  Restructured
     Note was recorded at fair value and the approximate  $7,015,000  difference
     between  such amount and the  carrying  value of the  Convertible  Note was
     reflected as additional paid-in capital. The $7,015,000  difference between
     the fair  value of the  Restructured  Note  and the  carrying  value of the
     Convertible Note will be amortized over the term of the  Restructured  Note
     using  the  interest   method.   Approximately   $680,000   and   $601,000,
     respectively,  was  amortized  as  interest  expense  during the nine month
     periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999.

3.   Basic and diluted loss per share of Common Stock was calculated by dividing
     the net loss by the weighted  average  shares of Common Stock  outstanding.
     The number of shares used to  calculate  basic and diluted  loss per Common
     Share was  56,807,826  and  53,015,383  for the three month  periods  ended
     September 30, 2000 and 1999,  respectively,  and  56,746,695 and 24,496,096
     for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
     The  calculation  of diluted  loss per share does not include  common stock
     equivalents  of 1,186,000  for the three month and nine month periods ended
     September 30, 2000 which are antidilutive.

4.   As of October 14, 1998, the Company and Leucadia  formed Otay Land Company.
     The  Company  has  contributed  $11,375,000  as capital  and  Leucadia  has
     contributed $10,000,000 as a preferred capital interest. The Company is the
     manager  of  Otay  Land  Company.  Otay  Land  Company  has  acquired,  for
     approximately $19,500,000,  approximately 4,935 acres of land which is part
     of a 22,900 acre project located south of San Diego,  California,  known as
     Otay Ranch.

5.   Pursuant to administrative service agreements,  LFC provides administrative
     services to the  Company,  including  providing  the services of two of the
     Company's executive officers.  Effective March 1, 2000, the Company and LFC
     entered into a new one year  administrative  services agreement pursuant to
     which the Company pays LFC an  administrative  fee of  $276,000.  For these
     services,  the  Company  expensed  $69,000  and $74,000 for the three month
     periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999,  respectively,  and $210,000 and
     $222,000  for the nine month  periods  ended  September  30, 2000 and 1999,
     respectively.

     The Company's  corporate office is in part of an office building  subleased
     from Leucadia for a monthly  amount equal to its share of  Leucadia's  cost
     for such space and furniture. In connection with these rentals, the Company
     expensed  $57,000 and $44,000 for the three month periods  ended  September
     30, 2000 and 1999,  respectively,  and  $162,000  and $134,000 for the nine
     month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

6.   On March 8, 2000,  options to purchase an  aggregate  of 180,000  shares of
     Common Stock were granted to eligible participants under the Company's 1999
     Stock  Incentive  Plan (the "1999  Plan") at an exercise  price of $.75 per
     share  (market  price) and an  aggregate  of 250,000  shares of  restricted
     Common  Stock were  issued to  eligible  participants  under the 1999 Plan,
     subject to certain forfeiture  provisions.  Of the 180,000 options granted,
     50,000 were granted to non-employees, resulting in deferred compensation of
     $36,000 based upon the estimated fair value of these options at the time of
     grant,  using  the  modified  Black  Scholes  model.  This  amount  will be
     amortized over the five year vesting  period of the options.  In connection
     with the  issuance  of  restricted  stock,  the Company  recorded  deferred
     compensation  of  $188,000  representing  the value of stock on the date of
     issuance  based upon market price.  This amount will be amortized  over the
     three  year  vesting  period  of the  restricted  stock at  which  time all
     remaining forfeiture provisions will end.

     On July 12,  2000,  options to purchase  an  aggregate  of 6,000  shares of
     Common Stock were  granted to members of the Board of  Directors  under the
     1999 Plan at an exercise  price of $.70 per share,  the then current market
     price per share.

     On July 12, 2000,  the Company's  Stockholders  approved the Company's 2000
     Stock  Incentive Plan pursuant to which options to purchase an aggregate of
     1,000,000 shares of Common Stock were granted to two key employees on April
     27, 2000 at an exercise  price of $.61 per share,  the then current  market
     price per share.  The  options are subject to  achievement  of  performance
     goals as determined by the Board of Directors  and are  exercisable  over a
     six year period.  Options and any stock issued on exercise of an option are
     subject to  forfeiture  if the  performance  goals are not met within three
     years  from the date of  grant.  Deferred  compensation,  representing  the
     difference between the exercise price and the then current market price, is
     subject to change based upon fluctuations in the Company's stock price. The
     deferred  compensation  will be  amortized  over the  expected  performance
     period of three years. At September 30, 2000, no deferred  compensation was
     recognized  relating to these options since the exercise price exceeded the
     quoted market price.

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
          and Results of Interim Operations.

The following  should be read in conjunction  with  Management's  Discussion and
Analysis of  Financial  Condition  and Results of  Operations  contained  in the
Company's 1999 10-K.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

For the nine month periods ended  September 30, 2000 and September 30, 1999, net
cash was used in operating activities,  principally to fund interest and general
and administrative  expenses.  The Company's  principal sources of funds are fee
income  earned from the San Elijo Hills  project,  proceeds from the sale of the
Paradise  Valley  school site and  dividends  or  borrowings  from its Otay Land
Company  subsidiary.  The Company is dependent  upon these cash flows to pay its
expenses, including debt service payments.

The Company expects that its cash on hand,  together with the sources  described
above will be sufficient to meet its cash flow needs for the foreseeable future.
If, at any time in the future,  the Company's cash flow is  insufficient to meet
its  then  current  cash   requirements,   the  Company  could   accelerate  its
subsidiaries'  sale of real  estate  projects  held for  development  or seek to
borrow funds. However, because all of the Company's assets are pledged to LFC to
collateralize  its  $26,462,000  borrowing  from LFC, it may be unable to obtain
financing at  favorable  rates from  sources  other than LFC. In  addition,  any
distributions  relating to the Otay Land  Company  must first  repay  Leucadia's
preferred return and preferred  capital,  before such funds are distributable to
the Company.

The Development Agreement provides that the Company will receive certain fees in
connection with the project. These fees consist of marketing, field overhead and
management  service  fees.  These fees are based on a fixed  percentage of gross
revenues of the project, less certain expenses allocated to the project, and are
expected to cover the Company's cost of providing services under the Development
Agreement.  During the nine month period ended  September 30, 2000,  the Company
received  approximately  $1,861,000  for such  fees and  collected  the  accrued
balance of  approximately  $221,000 in October 2000. The  Development  Agreement
also  provides  for a success fee to the Company out of the  project's  net cash
flow, if any, as described  below, up to a maximum  amount.  Whether the success
fee, if it is earned, will be paid to the Company prior to the conclusion of the
project will be at the discretion of the project owner.

To determine  "net cash flow" for purposes of  calculating  the success fee, all
cash  expenditures  of the project will be deducted  from total  revenues of the
project.  Examples of "expenditures" for these purposes include land development
costs, current period operating costs, and indebtedness,  either  collateralized
by the  project  ($29,289,000  at  September  30,  2000,  which is  non-interest
bearing),  or owed by the project's owner to Leucadia  ($62,864,000 at September
30,  2000)  (collectively,  "Indebtedness").  As a success  fee,  the Company is
entitled to receive  payments out of net cash flow,  if any, up to the aggregate
amount of the  Indebtedness.  The balance of the net cash flow,  if any, will be
paid to the Company and the project owner in equal amounts.  However, the amount
of the  success fee cannot be more than 68% of net cash flow minus the amount of
Indebtedness. The Company believes that any success fee that it may receive will
be its principal  source of revenue earned through its  participation in the San
Elijo Hills  project  pursuant  to the  Development  Agreement.  There can be no
assurance,  however,  that the Company  will  receive any success fee at all for
this project.

As of September 30, 2000, the Company owed $26,462,000  principal amount to LFC.
This amount is payable on December  31, 2004 and bears  interest at 6% per year.
This obligation is reflected in the consolidated balance sheet, net of discount,
at $21,232,000 as of September 30, 2000.  During the nine months ended September
30, 2000, the Company paid to LFC $1,188,000 in interest.

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
          and Results of Interim Operations, (continued)

In April 2000, the Company sold two clustered  housing  development sites at the
Paradise Valley project for net proceeds of $1,494,000.  The Company has certain
continuing obligations with respect to this project, including the obligation to
construct a recreation  center.  The Company  estimates that construction of the
recreation  center for the Paradise Valley Community will be completed at a cost
of approximately $1,200,000. Construction of the recreation center began in 1999
and is expected to be completed in 2000.  Cash of $1,000,000 was deposited in an
escrow  account  that is being  drawn  upon as the  recreation  center  is being
completed. At September 30, 2000, $177,000 remained in escrow.

In connection  with an indemnity  agreement to a third party surety entered into
in 1990 in connection with the construction of infrastructure  improvements in a
development  located in LaQuinta,  California,  a  subsidiary  of the Company is
required  to  maintain  a minimum  net worth of  $5,000,000  and a minimum  cash
balance of $400,000.  Failure to meet both of these  requirements  would trigger
the  subsidiary's  obligation  to  provide  an  irrevocable  letter of credit of
approximately  $460,000 based upon current estimates.  The subsidiary  currently
meets the minimum cash balance requirement.  In November 2000, the agreement was
amended to  eliminate  the cash  balance and letter of credit  requirements  and
reduce the net worth requirement, which the subsidiary meets.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

During the three month and nine month  periods  ended  September  30, 2000, as a
result of the sale of certain lots in the San Elijo Hills  project,  the Company
recognized $944,000 and $2,082,000,  respectively,  of marketing, field overhead
and  management  service  fee  income  in  accordance  with  the  terms  of  the
Development  Agreement.  During  the three  month and nine month  periods  ended
September 30, 1999, no sales  occurred in the San Elijo Hills project and no fee
income was recognized.

Sales of  residential  properties  decreased in the three and nine month periods
ended  September  30, 2000 as compared to the same periods  ended  September 30,
1999.  During the nine month period ended  September 30, 2000,  the Company sold
two clustered housing  development sites at the Paradise Valley project.  During
the same period in 1999, the Company sold 75 residential  lots and one clustered
housing development site in the Paradise Valley project.  Cost of sales recorded
during these periods reflects the level of sales activity.

Interest  expense for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30,
2000  reflects  $398,000  and  $1,188,000,  respectively,  paid  to  LFC  on the
Restructured  Note and $235,000 and $680,000,  respectively,  resulting from the
amortization  of a  portion  of the  difference  between  the fair  value of the
Restructured  Note and the  carrying  value of the  Convertible  Note.  Interest
expense  for the three month and nine month  periods  ended  September  30, 1999
reflects interest of $401,000 and $1,188,000,  respectively,  paid to LFC on the
Restructured  Note and $208,000 and $601,000,  respectively,  resulting from the
amortization  of a  portion  of the  difference  between  the fair  value of the
Restructured Note and the carrying value of the Convertible Note.

General and  administrative  expenses increased in both the three month and nine
month periods  ended  September 30, 2000 as compared to the same periods in 1999
due to increased  operating  activities in  connection  with the San Elijo Hills
project and Otay Ranch project.

Income taxes for all periods  presented  principally  relates to state franchise
taxes.  The  Company  has not  recorded  federal  income  tax  benefits  for its
operating  losses due to the  uncertainty  of sufficient  future  taxable income
which is required in order to record such tax benefits.
