See notes to interim consolidated financial statements. 5 LEUCADIA NATIONAL 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 necessary to present fairly results of interim operations, should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (including the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) included in the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2001, which are included in the Company's Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for such year (the "2001 10-K"). Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results of operations. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2001 was extracted from the audited annual financial statements and does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements. Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to be consistent with the 2002 presentation. 2. Certain information concerning the Company's segments for the three month periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 is presented in the following table. Prior period amounts have been reclassified for the domestic real estate operations, which were previously included in Other Operations.

6 Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements, continued 3. The Company accounts for its investment in Berkadia under the equity method of accounting. At March 31, 2002, the book value of the Company's equity investment in Berkadia was negative $111,400,000, which is included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. As more fully described in the 2001 10-K, the negative carrying amount results from Berkadia's distribution of loan fees received and the Company's recognition in 2001 of its share of The FINOVA Group Inc.'s ("FINOVA") non-cash losses recorded by Berkadia, partially offset by the Company's share of Berkadia's income related to Berkadia's loan to FINOVA. The Company has guaranteed 10% of Berkadia's debt and, although the Company has no cash investment in Berkadia, it records its share of any losses recorded by Berkadia up to the amount of the guarantee. As of April 30, 2002, the outstanding amount of the guarantee was $320,000,000. For the three month period ended March 31, 2002, the Company's equity in the income of Berkadia consists of the following (in thousands):
Net interest spread on the Berkadia loan - 10% of total $ 2,100 Amortization of Berkadia loan discount related to cash fees - 50% of total 7,100 Amortization of Berkadia loan discount related to FINOVA stock - 50% of total 11,200 -------- Equity in income of associated companies - Berkadia $ 20,400 ========
The amortization of the Berkadia loan discount has been accelerated as a result of principal payments on the Berkadia loan that were greater than expected at the time the loan was made. For the three months ended March 31, 2002, the effect of this acceleration was to increase the Company's equity in income of Berkadia by approximately $6,600,000. Loan repayments from FINOVA are unlikely to continue at the pace experienced to date. 4. A summary of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) at March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001 is as follows (in thousands):
March 31, December 31, 2002 2001 -------- --------- Net unrealized gains on investments $ 38,944 $ 31,681 Net unrealized foreign exchange losses (18,079) (16,612) Net unrealized losses on derivative instruments (54) (407) -------- -------- $ 20,811 $ 14,662 ======== ========
5. Included in investment and other income for the three month periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 are income (charges) of $2,700,000 and $(1,100,000), respectively, as a result of accounting for its derivative financial instruments in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 ("SFAS 133"). 6. Per share amounts were calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and, for diluted earnings (loss) per share, the incremental weighted average number of shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding options and warrants for the periods they were outstanding. The number of shares used to calculate basic earnings (loss) per share amounts was 55,320,000 and 55,299,000 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The number of shares used to calculate diluted earnings (loss) per share amounts was 55,588,000 and 55,299,000 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. For 2001, options and warrants to purchase approximately 347,000 weighted average shares of common stock were outstanding but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share, as those options and warrants were antidilutive. 7 Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements, continued 7. Cash paid for interest and income taxes (net of refunds) was $12,700,000 and $14,100,000, respectively, for the three month period ended March 31, 2002 and $15,000,000 and $100,000, respectively, for the three month period ended March 31, 2001. 8. As disclosed in the 2001 10-K, in connection with its audit of the Company's consolidated federal income tax returns for the years 1996 through 1999, the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") had issued Notices of Proposed Adjustments that, if sustained, would have resulted in approximately $80,000,000 of tax, plus interest. The Company believes that it is adequately reserved for this exposure. In April 2002, the IRS revised these Notices of Proposed Adjustments. The Company has agreed to these revised Notices of Proposed Adjustments, as well as other adjustments proposed by the IRS, which in total resulted in the payment of $326,000. Although the Company has agreed to the IRS adjustments, until the statute of limitations expires on December 31, 2002, the IRS has the right to propose additional adjustments. 9. In April 2002, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its interest in Fidei, its foreign real estate subsidiary, to an unrelated third party for total proceeds of approximately 70,000,000 Euros (approximately $61,000,000), which is expected to close during the second quarter of 2002. The Company expects to record a gain of approximately $20,000,000 on this transaction. 8 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Interim Operations. The following should be read in conjunction with the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the 2001 10-K. Liquidity and Capital Resources For the three month period ended March 31, 2002, net cash was used for operations principally as a result of the payment of income taxes. For the three month period ended March 31, 2001, net cash was provided by operations. As of March 31, 2002, the Company's readily available cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, excluding those amounts held by its regulated subsidiaries, totaled $813,100,000. This amount is comprised of cash and short-term bonds and notes of the United States Government and its agencies of $500,600,000 (62%), the equity investment in White Mountains Insurance Group, Ltd. of $129,500,000 (16%) and other publicly traded debt and equity securities aggregating $183,000,000 (22%). Additional sources of liquidity as of March 31, 2002 include $165,900,000 of cash and marketable securities collateralizing letters of credit. As a result of principal payments, as of April 30, 2002, the Company's guarantee of Berkadia's financing has been reduced to $320,000,000. Results of Operations Three Months Ended March 31, 2002 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2001 Finance revenues, which reflect the level and mix of consumer instalment loans, decreased in the three month period ended March 31, 2002 as compared to the similar period in 2001 due to fewer average loans outstanding. Average loans outstanding during the three month period ended March 31, 2002 were $491,000,000 as compared to $524,300,000 during the three month period ended March 31, 2001. Pre-tax results for the banking and lending segment increased for the first quarter of 2002 as compared to 2001, however, primarily due to changes in market values of interest rate swaps, lower interest expense due to reduced customer banking deposits and lower interest rates thereon, a lower provision for loan losses largely due to the reduced amount of new loans, and less salaries expense, partially offset by greater net interest paid on interest rate swaps. The reduction in loans and salaries resulted from the Company's decision in September 2001 to stop originating subprime automobile loans and subsequently to consolidate its operations, as more fully described in the 2001 10-K. Pre-tax results for the banking and lending segment for the three month periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 reflect $1,900,000 and $(3,200,000), respectively, of income (charges) primarily resulting from marking-to-market its interest rate swaps. The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage the impact of interest rate changes on its customer banking deposits. Although the Company believes that these derivative financial instruments serve as economic hedges, they do not meet certain effectiveness criteria under SFAS 133, and therefore are not accounted for as hedges. Fidei's revenues declined in the first quarter of 2002 as compared to 2001 primarily due to lower investment income and decreased rent income due to the smaller base of remaining real estate properties, partially offset by increased gains from sales of real estate properties. Pre-tax results increased for 2002, however, principally due to lower interest expense reflecting the maturity and early extinguishments of certain debt in 2001 and lower rental operations expense. In April 2002, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its interest in Fidei to an unrelated third party for total proceeds of approximately 70,000,000 Euros (approximately $61,000,000), which is expected to close during the second quarter of 2002. The Company expects to record a gain of approximately $20,000,000 on this transaction. 9 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Interim Operations, continued. Revenues and pre-tax income from domestic real estate declined in the first quarter of 2002 as compared to the same period in 2001. This reduction was principally due to less rent income, largely due to the sale of one of the Company's shopping centers in the fourth quarter of 2001, less income from property sales and greater operating costs, partially offset by increased revenues from the Company's Hawaiian hotel, which it began operating in the third quarter of 2001. Although manufacturing revenues declined in the first quarter of 2002 as compared to the same period in 2001, gross profit and pre-tax income increased. The $1,300,000 decline in revenues primarily reflected reductions in the consumer products market due to a customer for the Asian market no longer using one of the Company's products, and in the agricultural markets, partially offset by increased sales in the home furnishings and construction markets. Gross profit and pre-tax results for 2002 increased slightly as compared to 2001 principally due to lower raw material costs and plant personnel reductions partially offset by higher fixed costs relating to the Belgium manufacturing facility. Investment and other income decreased in the three month period ended March 31, 2002 as compared to the three month period ended March 31, 2001 principally due to a reduction in investment income of $8,000,000 resulting from a decline in interest rates, a $5,500,000 decline in revenues from the Company's gas operations due to lower production and prices, less rent income, as discussed above, and less income from domestic property sales. Such decreases were partially offset by increased income of $3,800,000 related to its derivative financial instruments, increased revenues from the Company's Hawaiian hotel and increased gains from Fidei's sale of real estate properties. The increase in equity in income of associated companies in the first quarter of 2002 as compared to the same period in 2001 was primarily due to income from the Company's equity investment in Berkadia LLC. As more fully described in Note 3 of Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company recognized $20,400,000 of income from this investment in 2002, of which $18,300,000 related to the amortization of discount from the Berkadia loan. Equity in income of associated companies also included $2,900,000 of income from the Company's equity investment in Olympus Re Holdings, Ltd., an investment the Company made in December 2001. Such increases were partially offset by $5,500,000 less income from the Company's equity investment in Jefferies Partners Opportunity Fund II, LLC. Net securities gains (losses) for the three months ended March 31, 2002 includes a provision of $5,000,000 to write down the Company's equity investment in a non-public fund. The decline in interest expense in the first quarter of 2002 as compared to the same period in 2001 was principally due to lower interest expense at the banking and lending segment due to reduced customer banking deposits and lower interest rates thereon and lower interest expense at Fidei attributable to the maturity and early extinguishment of certain debt in 2001.
