                               THE RESTRUCTURING:

              SALE OF PARTIAL INTEREST IN DRIVE FINANCIAL SERVICES



FIRSTCITY FINANCIAL CORPORATION        5           KEEFE, BRUYETTE & WOODS, INC.



SALE OF PARTIAL INTEREST IN DRIVE FINANCIAL SERVICES

Summary

          o    Prior to the Restructuring FCFC owns a 31% interest in Drive.

          o    FCFC will sell 64.5% of its interest (or a 20% interest) in Drive
               to BOS for $16.0 million.

          o    FCFC maintained a carrying value of this interest of $6.5 million
               at December 31, 2001 (before minority interest).

          o    $16.0 million for 20% values Drive at $80 million (excluding
               debt).

          o    $80 million represents 308% of book value on December 31, 2001,
               and 7.4 times Drive's comprehensive net income (pro forma for a
               full 40% tax rate) for the twelve months ended December 31, 2001.

          o    During the twelve months ended December 31, 2001, "gain-on-sale"
               revenue, derived from securitization transactions represented 55%
               of Drive's revenue. Also, at December 31, 2001, residual
               interests in securitization transactions represented 298% of its
               common equity.

          o    The sale of the partial interest in Drive is conditioned up
               achieving at least 80% participation in the Exchange Offer.

          o    BOS will release FCFC from a $4 million guaranty related to
               Drive's debt.

                 PURCHASE OF 20% INTEREST IN FIRSTCITY HOLDINGS



FIRSTCITY FINANCIAL CORPORATION        12          KEEFE, BRUYETTE & WOODS, INC.



PURCHASE OF 20% INTEREST IN FIRSTCITY HOLDINGS

Summary


     o    Prior to the Restructuring, management of FCH own a 20% interest in
          FCH, FCFC owns the other 80%.

     o    FCFC is contemplating acquiring this interest through the issuance of
          400,000 shares of FCFC common stock, and through up to $3.20 million
          in "earn-out" payments based on the performance of certain Mexican
          asset pools.

     o    The total value of the purchase is up to $3.65 million ($0.45 million
          in common stock, and up to $3.20 million in earn-out).

     o    The value of 20% of FCH at $3.65 million values FCH at $18.25 million.
          $18.25 million represents 454% of book value, and 4.2 times FCH's
          trailing pre-tax income.

     o    Pre-tax income, divided into the FCH valuation implies a 23.9% yield.

DEBT RESTRUCTURING

Summary

     o    Remaining cash from the $16.0 million sale of a partial interest in
          Drive to BOS, after completing the Exchange Offer, will be applied to
          existing FCFC debt held by BOS.

     o    FCFC remaining debt held by BOS, estimated at $45 million, will be
          restructured as follows:

               o    $33 million - Senior Cash Flow Note

                    This note will have a 4 year maturity and provide for all
                    cash flow from existing investments to first pay all
                    corporate overhead, and then principal and interest on the
                    Senior Cash Flow Note.

               o    $12 million - Subordinated Convertible Note

                    This note will have a 5 year maturity with interest only

                    conjunction, BOS will release warrants for 1,975,000 FCFC
                    shares with a strike price of $2.31.

LIQUIDATION ANALYSIS

Summary

     o    KBW PERFORMED A LIQUIDATION ANALYSIS, TO INCLUDE:

               o    Sale of assets

     o    ASSET SALE APPROACH - MAJOR ASSUMPTIONS

               o    Assets of FCFC marketed for sale immediately

               o    Low, Mid, and High price assumptions reviewed

               o    Low, Mid, and High levels assume assets sold in orderly
                    fashion

               o    Assumes assets can be sold within 6 month time period

               o    6 months of declining-level parent company operating
                    expenses (100% in month 1, 90% in month 2, etc.)

               o    Other selling expenses are 2% of purchase price, transaction
                    specific legal fees are fixed at $1,500,000


FIRSTCITY FINANCIAL CORPORATION        31          KEEFE, BRUYETTE & WOODS, INC.



LIQUIDATION ANALYSIS

Asset Sale Approach

     o    The majority of FCFC's assets are illiquid, there is no readily
          available market for them, thus, book value is likely the best- case
          price one could expect to achieve in any sale (for assets that may
          have value for another investor).

     o    Several types of FCFC's assets are not saleable, for instance the
          Deferred Tax Asset is an intangible asset.

     o    Assets from Discontinued Operations are highly illiquid (they are
          primarily residual assets from home equity securitizations) and would
          likely only be purchased at a significant discount to carrying value.

     o    FCFC's interest in Drive may sell for a price higher than book value.
          However given the current ownership structure of Drive (with BOS
          owning 49%) it is unclear what type of entity would purchase it. WHEN
          TAKEN OUTSIDE THE AUSPICES OF THE RESTRUCTURING AS A WHOLE, IT IS
          UNLIKELY THAT FCFC WOULD BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE PRICING AS FAVORABLE AS
          WHAT IS CONTEMPLATED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE RESTRUCTURING.

     o    Given the fact that FirstCity would no longer exist under a
          liquidation scenario, a) asset buyers would not have any financial
          backing to representations and warranties, and b) the servicing agent
          would no longer be able to perform its duties. BOTH (a) AND (b) WOULD
          PUSH ASSET SALE PRICES TOWARD THE MID AND LOW POINTS IN THE ANALYSIS
          TO FOLLOW.

LIQUIDATION ANALYSIS

Asset Sale Approach

     o    As can be seen below, only our "High" expectations for asset sale
          prices, which are aggressive, result in any remaining proceeds for
          Preferred shareholders. The cash flow provided from our High price
          expectation is $5.50 per preferred share.

     o    The "Mid" and "Low" price expectations do not result in any proceeds
          for preferred shareholders.

     o    If equal probability weightings are applied to the Low, Mid, and High
          values, the expected value for Preferred shareholders would be $1.83.

</Table>

Notes:

(1)  Recovery percentage range is from 43% from Exchange Offer Choice A to 47%
     for Exchange Offer Choice B. Also assumes FCFC common stock worth the value
     of last trade. Does not assume any increase in FCFC common stock due to
     increase in pro forma book value per common share.

(2)  $617 million of legal claim includes $217 million of open market purchases
     of Senior Subordinated Notes repurchased in the fourth quarter of 2000, and
     $410 million of notes to receive proceeds from the company's asset sale in
     connection with its bankruptcy filing. Recovery percentage for AMRESCO is
     the blended result between 75% for the open market purchases and 41% from
     KBW's estimate of the recovery for note holders post-bankruptcy. Estimate
     is based on 8-K filing dated July 5, 2001 and the March 31, 2001 10-Q.

(3)  As a percentage of legal claim.

(4)  Implies that if a preferred stock existed at AMRESCO, similar to that of
     FCFC, the recovery to the preferred would have been zero.

(5)  KBW estimate range from Tab 6 for FCFC.

     with WFSG's estimated amount also in the table.

(2)  Legal claim, recovery percentage and expected liquidation recovery are
     WFSG's estimates include in its Solicitation and Disclosure Statement Dated
     February 1, 1999. Legal claim includes accrued interest. Recovery
     percentage based on pro forma book value of common shares received.
     Liquidation recovery is as a percentage of claims.

(3)  As a percentage of legal claim.

(4)  Implies that if a preferred stock existed at WFSG, similar to that of FCFC,
     the recovery percentage on the preferred would have been zero.

                                 KBW CONCLUSION



FIRSTCITY FINANCIAL CORPORATION        48          KEEFE, BRUYETTE & WOODS, INC.



CONCLUSION

o    IN KBW'S OPINION, THE CONSIDERATION OFFERED TO THE HOLDERS OF FCFC'S
     REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK IN THE EXCHANGE OFFER, IS FAIR, FROM A FINANCIAL
     POINT OF VIEW. THIS OPINION IS BASED ON THE FOLLOWING:

          o    The significant premium to the current market price of the
               Preferred.

          o    The high level of premium offered, when compared to other
               transactions filed with the SEC as "going private transactions"
               in financial services sectors.

          o    The Exchange Offer's superiority to the results of the
               liquidation analysis performed.

          o    The favorable level of recovery of legal claim for the Preferred
               holders, of the Exchange Offer, when compared to the recovery
               results of transactions involving restructurings of comparable
               companies, and specifically relative to positions within capital
               structure.

          o    The liquidity provided to the Preferred holders, compared to the
               current market, which provides little liquidity.
