THE FINOVA GROUP INC.

NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2007

(Dollars in
thousands in tables)

(Unaudited)



|A. | Nature of Operations and Plan of Liquidation
|-- | --------------------------------------------

The accompanying
financial statements and notes hereto should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 (the 2006 Form
10-K). Capitalized terms not defined herein are used as defined in the 2006 Form 10-K.

The notes to the financial statements relate to The FINOVA
Group Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively FINOVA or the Company), including FINOVA Capital Corporation and its subsidiaries (FINOVA Capital). FINOVA was a financial services holding company. Through its
principal operating subsidiary, FINOVA Capital, the Company provided a broad range of financing and capital markets products, primarily to mid-size businesses. Throughout this document, we, us and our also refer
to The FINOVA Group Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Since emergence from chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings in August 2001, our business activities have been
limited to maximizing the value of our portfolio through the orderly collection of our assets. These activities included collection efforts pursuant to underlying contractual terms, negotiation of prepayments and sales of assets or collateral. We
have substantially completed the liquidation of our portfolio and our focus has shifted to the continued wind down of our operations and future dissolution of our entities. We are prohibited by the Indenture governing our 7.5% Senior Secured Notes
(the Senior Notes) from engaging in any new lending activities or other business. Any funds generated in excess of cash reserves permitted by our debt agreements have been used to reduce obligations to our creditors.

Because substantially all of our assets (including cash reserves) are pledged to secure obligations under the promissory notes of FINOVA Capital issued to us in the
aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes (the Intercompany Notes), our ability to obtain additional or alternate financing is severely restricted. As a result of this and the substantial liquidation of our portfolio, our only
meaningful source of liquidity is cash reserves held by the Company.

Plan of Liquidation

On November 1, 2006, our Board of Directors (the Board) approved the Plan of Complete Liquidation and Dissolution (the Plan of Liquidation)
and the filing of a motion (the Motion) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the Bankruptcy Court). On December 4, 2006, the Bankruptcy Court granted our Motion and approved (i) the
previously announced settlement of various litigations associated with The Thaxton Group, Inc. (the Thaxton Settlement), (ii) the ongoing sale of our remaining assets, the orderly wind down of our operations and our future
dissolution, (iii) our sale of all or substantially all of our assets without stockholder approval and our future dissolution without stockholder approval at such time as our Board deems to be appropriate and (iv) channeling to the
Bankruptcy Court any claims against us that the holders of our Senior Notes or the indenture trustee for the Senior Notes may have arising from or in any way related to our joint chapter 11 plan, the ongoing liquidation of FINOVA, the senior secured
notes, or the wind down of our operations.

As a result of the aforementioned approvals, we took steps to initiate our complete liquidation and as such,
the information provided in this Report on Form 10-Q reflects our adoption of the liquidation basis of accounting effective the close of business on December 4, 2006 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States. Historical information for periods prior to December 5, 2006 is presented on a going concern basis of accounting. Under the liquidation basis of accounting, we are required to value all assets at their estimated net realizable value,
while liabilities are reported at their estimated net settlement amount. Additionally, under the liquidation basis of accounting, we are required to establish a reserve for all future estimated general and administrative expenses and other costs
expected to be incurred during the liquidation (exclusive of interest expense). These estimates will be periodically reviewed and adjusted as appropriate. There can be no assurance that these estimated values will be realized. Such amounts should
not be taken as an indication of the timing or amount of future distributions or our actual dissolution.

##### Table of Contents

We have continued with efforts to wind-up the affairs of the Company in a timely manner; however as previously noted we
cannot control the timing of resolving legal matters and claims. Due to delays in resolving certain legal matters and claims, we now anticipate the liquidation period extending into 2008. Certain of these legal matters are expected to continue into
the second quarter of 2008 and the possibility exists for them to extend beyond that period of time. As a result, we increased the reserve for estimated costs reflected in our Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation to assume a liquidation period
through the second quarter of 2008. There can be no assurance we will complete our liquidation in this time period, and the resolution of the various legal matters and claims may extend through the end of 2008. We will continue to evaluate our
progress in resolving the outstanding legal matters on at least a quarterly basis and re-evaluate our reserve for estimated costs. Refer below to Note G. Litigation and Claims for the status of our outstanding legal matters.

We will continue to operate as a public company throughout the liquidation period under a Management Services Agreement with Leucadia National Corporation
(Leucadia) that expires in 2011. Pursuant to that agreement, Leucadia has designated its employees to act as Chairman of the Board (Ian M. Cumming), President (Joseph S. Steinberg) and Chief Executive Officer (Thomas E. Mara). In
accordance with the Indenture, we continue to maintain cash reserves that we believe are adequate to pay our operating expenses as they come due.



|B. | Significant Accounting Policies
|-- | -------------------------------

The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires us to use estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities. These estimates are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties
and other factors that could materially impact the amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements. Significant estimates include anticipated amounts and timing of future cash flows used in the calculation of net realizable value, reserve
for future costs and settlement amounts. Actual results could differ from those estimated.

Consolidation of Interim Reporting

The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The interim consolidated financial
information is unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring items necessary to present fairly our net assets in liquidation as of September 30, 2007 and the changes in net assets presented herein have
been included in our consolidated financial statements.

For a complete listing of our significant accounting policies, see Note B. Significant
Accounting Policies in our 2006 Form 10-K. The policies related to the liquidation basis of accounting were the only policies presented herein. With the adoption of the liquidation basis of accounting, all anticipated improvements or
deterioration in the portfolio are fully reflected in our financial statements as facts and assumptions change.

Liquidation Basis of Accounting

With the approval of our Plan of Liquidation by the Bankruptcy Court, our complete liquidation is considered to be imminent and as such, we adopted
the liquidation basis of accounting effective the close of business on December 4, 2006 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. A Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation and a Statement of Changes in Net
Assets in Liquidation are the principal financial statements presented under the liquidation basis of accounting. Under the liquidation basis of accounting, assets are stated at their estimated net realizable value, which is the non-discounted
amount of cash, or its equivalent, into which an asset is expected to be converted in the due course of business less direct costs, while liabilities are reported at their estimated net settlement amount, which is the non-discounted amounts of cash,
or its equivalent, expected to be paid to liquidate an obligation in the due course of business, including direct costs. Additionally, under the liquidation basis of accounting, we are required to establish a reserve for all future estimated general
and administrative expenses and other costs expected to be incurred during the liquidation (exclusive of interest expense). These estimates will be periodically reviewed and adjusted as appropriate. There can be no assurance that these estimated
values will be realized. Such amounts should not be taken as an indication of the timing or amount of future distributions to be made. The valuation of assets at their net realizable value and liabilities at their anticipated settlement amount
represent estimates, based on present facts and circumstances, of the net realizable value of the assets and the costs associated with carrying out the Plan of Liquidation based on the assumptions set forth below. The actual values and costs
associated with carrying out the Plan of Liquidation are expected to differ from amounts reflected in the accompanying financial statements because of the plans inherent uncertainty. These differences may be material. In particular, the
estimates of our costs will vary with the length of time necessary to complete the Plan of Liquidation. Accordingly, it is not

##### Table of Contents

possible to predict with certainty the timing or aggregate amount which will ultimately be distributed to note holders and no assurance can be given that the
distributions will equal or exceed the estimate presented in the accompanying Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation or the price at which our Senior Notes have traded or are expected to trade in the future.

The following are the significant assumptions utilized by management in assessing the value of our liquidating portfolio and the expected settlement amount of
liabilities included in the Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006.

Net Realizable Value
Supported by Underlying Loan or Direct Financing Agreements.All loans and direct financing leases were adjusted to their estimated net realizable values, which represented all future undiscounted cash flows expected to be collected from each of
these transactions including sales and settlement proceeds, principal collections, scheduled rental payments and interest. Anticipated cash collections were partially offset by any known direct costs and liabilities assumed by buyers including
aircraft maintenance reserves and security deposits that were previously collected. As of September 30, 2007, substantially all loans and direct financing leases had been liquidated.

Net Realizable Value Supported by Underlying Operating Leases and Other Owned Assets. All owned assets (operating leases and off-lease assets) were adjusted to
their estimated net realizable values, which represented all future undiscounted cash flows expected to be collected from each of these transactions including sales proceeds and scheduled rental payments. Anticipated cash collections were partially
offset by any known direct costs such as maintenance and make ready costs for certain aircraft and liabilities assumed by buyers including aircraft maintenance reserves and security deposits that were previously collected. As of September 30,
2007, all operating leases and other owned assets had been liquidated.

Investments. All investments are reported at either their fair value or
estimated net realizable values, based on published information, quotes by registered securities brokers or signed contracts. Investments for which market information is not readily available were valued based on estimated future cash flows that may
be realized from the investment, if any.

Reserve for Estimated Costs during the Liquidation Period. Under the liquidation basis of accounting, we
are required to estimate and accrue for costs associated with implementing and completing the Plan of Liquidation. The reserve for estimated costs includes four primary areas of accruals including people costs (payroll, benefits and severance),
Leucadia management fees, professional services and litigation costs and corporate expenses (insurance, directors fees and entity related expenses). These amounts can vary significantly due to, among other things, the timing of asset sales,
the timing and amounts associated with discharging known and contingent liabilities and claims, the costs associated with cessation of our operations including an estimate of costs subsequent to that date (which would include reserve contingencies
for the appropriate statutory periods) and the costs of retaining knowledgeable personnel and others to oversee the liquidation. As a result, we have accrued the projected costs including corporate overhead and specific liquidation costs of
severance and performance bonuses, professional fees and various other wind-up costs expected to be incurred during the projected period to complete the liquidation and dissolution. These expense accruals will be periodically reviewed for adequacy
and adjusted from time to time as projections and assumptions change. Changes to the accruals will be recorded as adjustments to net assets in liquidation in future periods.



|C. | Effects of the Liquidation Basis of Accounting
|-- | ----------------------------------------------

During the nine
months ended September 30, 2007, the estimated net realizable value of our assets and liabilities decreased a net $0.4 million primarily due to revised purchase prices on certain aircraft following their revaluation based upon updated aircraft
specifications and usage reports and a slight decline in the net realizable value of an engine based upon bids obtained through an auction process to liquidate the asset, partially offset by an increase in interest accruing on sales transactions due
to delays in the final closure of the deals, a slight increase in the purchase price of other aviation assets, the settlement of certain bankruptcy claims for lower than previously anticipated amounts and the realization of certain customer claims
for amounts in excess of previous estimates. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we accrued $81.8 million of additional interest on the Senior Notes and earned interest income on cash investments and other operating
activity of $11.8 million. All cash received on the portfolio is applied against its estimated net realizable value, which took into consideration all expected interest and rental payments. Any cash received in excess of an individual assets
estimated net realizable value is shown as a change in net assets in the period of collection. Amounts received during 2007 were not considered to be significant.

##### Table of Contents

The net realizable value of our assets does not take into consideration all future interest to be earned on cash and cash
equivalents. Interest earned on the investment of cash reserves is shown separately as a change in net assets. During the third quarter of 2007, we altered our investment of cash reserves by exiting the commercial paper market entirely. As of
September 30, 2007, our short-term investments are primarily comprised of low risk money markets, U.S. Treasuries, 100% government backed securities and certificates of deposit. We decided to give up some yield to ensure maximum principal
preservation.

Under the liquidation basis of accounting, we are also required to establish and maintain a reserve for all future general and
administrative expenses and other costs expected to be incurred during the liquidation period. The following is a summary of and changes to the reserve for estimated costs during the liquidation period:

|                                                                |  |                  |        |                            |   |        |                   |  |   |       

During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the reserve declined to $16.8 million due to the payment of
expenses ($15.4 million) and a reduction in our estimate as a result of certain actual expenses being lower than originally anticipated, partially offset by a net increase caused by the extension of the estimated liquidation period through the
second quarter of 2008 and an increase in the estimated insurance costs associated with our wind-up. We have continued with efforts to wind-up the affairs of the Company in a timely manner; however as previously noted we cannot control the timing of
resolving legal matters and claims. Due to delays in resolving certain legal matters and claims, we now anticipate the liquidation period extending into 2008. Certain of these legal matters are expected to continue into the second quarter of 2008
and the possibility exists for them to extend beyond that period of time. As a result, we increased the reserve for estimated costs reflected in our Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation to assume a liquidation period through the second quarter of
2008. There can be no assurance we will complete our liquidation in this time period, and the resolution of the various legal matters and claims may extend through the end of 2008. We will continue to evaluate our progress in resolving the
outstanding legal matters on at least a quarterly basis and re-evaluate our reserve for estimated costs. Refer below to Note G. Litigation and Claims for the status of our outstanding legal matters.

Due to the fact that we do not have sufficient assets to fully satisfy all obligations to our creditors, any change to the estimated net realizable value of our assets
and liabilities results in a corresponding adjustment to the estimated settlement amount of the Senior Notes. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the estimated settlement amount of the Senior Notes (principal only) was reduced by
$78.3 million to a balance of $253.0 million; however, we currently estimate the Senior Note holders will receive total liquidation distributions (principal and interest) of approximately $408.3 million, including amounts already distributed during
2007, which is a $3.5 million increase over our year-end estimate.



|D. | Liquidating Portfolio
|-- | ---------------------

As a result of the adoption of the
liquidation basis of accounting, most of the prior disclosures related to total financial assets are no longer applicable. Our liquidating portfolio is now recorded at its estimated net realizable value, which incorporates all future cash flows,
including earnings expected to be collected.

The following table presents the activity in our liquidating portfolio for the nine months ended September 30, 2007:

|Liquidating Portfolio at September 30, 2007        |  | $ | 5,372    |  
|                                                   |  |   |          |  

As of September 30, 2007, we have substantially completed the liquidation of our portfolio. During 2007, we
received $83.7 million in full and final settlement of the Thaxton loan and sold the remainder of our aviation assets for amounts that approximated their previously reported estimated net realizable values.

The remaining portfolio value is comprised of a few small financing transactions that are expected to be collected in their normal course before year-end or shortly
thereafter and investments with a net realizable value of approximately $5.2 million, which includes our remaining $4.6 million investment in two grantor trusts to secure severance and bonus obligations to our employees. These assets are held
primarily for the benefit of our employees, but are recorded as investments due to our retained interest in any excess assets. As of September 30, 2007, the obligation to current and former employees is estimated to be $2.6 million, resulting
in estimated excess assets of approximately $2.0 million that will revert to the Company upon discharge of all obligations. In an effort to continue to wind-up our affairs, on November 12, 2007, we amended the severance plan and trust
agreements to terminate the plans effective December 31, 2007 and pay the remaining eligible employees their scheduled benefits in early 2008 while they remain actively employed. Upon discharge of these remaining obligations to employees, any
assets remaining in the trusts will be distributed to the Company.

The remaining portfolio also includes, among other transactions, a number of customer
judgments and claims, a few non-marketable private equity securities and certain obligations owed to us by companies that are themselves in liquidation. In the majority of these instances, we did not attribute any net realizable value to these
assets due to our inability to predict the collection of any cash flows from the transactions with even a remote level of confidence. Most of these transactions were previously included in due diligence materials in an attempt to sell the assets,
but were excluded on multiple occasions by prospective buyers because of costs of collection and potential liability concerns of the buyers. During the third quarter of 2007, multiple buyers that specialize in these types of residual assets and
claims performed due diligence, but were not interested in making an offer. We continue to monitor these accounts for changes in facts and circumstances that would allow us to attribute value to these assets or events that resolve their ultimate
disposition. As a result, there is the possibility that some net realizable value will be attributed to these assets in the future. An increase in the estimated net realizable value of these assets, if any, will be reflected as a change in net
assets in liquidation in future filings. Additionally, we continue to occasionally receive small amounts of proceeds typically from trustees for assets that in certain cases were written off years ago. These cash flows are typically immaterial and
are reflected as a change in net assets in liquidation as they are received.

|                                                                |  |                   |            |   |                  |   |            |  

During the third quarter of 2007, we made no principal prepayments on the Senior Notes. Cumulative prepayments
through the third quarter of 2007 totaled $1.54 billion, which reduced the outstanding principal to $1.4 billion and represents

##### Table of Contents

approximately 52% of the principal being repaid. Based on the valuation of our assets at their estimated net realizable value and liabilities at estimated
settlement amount, we currently estimate the Senior Note holders will receive additional liquidation distributions (principal and interest) of approximately $293.3 million, which is considerably less than the total principal and interest due of
approximately $1.5 billion. These estimated distributions ($293.3 million) taken together with $115.0 million of principal and interest already distributed during 2007 increase the total liquidation distributions (principal and interest) to
approximately $408.3 million, which is a $3.5 million increase over our year-end estimate. The estimated settlement amount was determined solely based on the net assets available for settlement of the Senior Notes and is subject to change due to
changes in the estimated net realizable value of our net assets. We clearly do not have sufficient assets to fully repay the Senior Note obligation.

While, the Senior Notes have a first priority security interest in substantially all of our remaining assets, the Indenture requires us to first use any cash and cash equivalents to pay or fund operating expenses, taxes and reasonable
reserves for commitments and general corporate purposes. In accordance with the terms of the Indenture, we are required to use any excess cash as defined in the Indenture, to make semi-annual interest and principal payments on the Senior Notes.
Additionally, the Indenture permits voluntary prepayments at our option, which we have previously elected to make from time to time; however, due to the uncertainty of cash requirements associated with the wind-up of our affairs, resolution of
outstanding bankruptcy claims and matters related to the TLP Action, discussed below in Note G. Litigation and Claims, we anticipate maintaining a higher cash reserve to cover these potential and uncertain expenditures, which could limit
our ability to make future voluntary prepayments.

The timing and amount of distributions to Senior Note holders will depend on the timing and amount of
proceeds we receive upon the sale of our remaining assets, the resolution of claims and other litigation matters, the extent to which reserves for current or future liabilities are required and the length of time required to settle all of our
matters. We have continued with efforts to wind-up the affairs of the Company in a timely manner; however as previously noted we cannot control the timing of resolving legal matters and claims. Due to delays in resolving certain legal matters and
claims, we now anticipate the liquidation period extending into 2008. Certain of these legal matters are expected to continue into the second quarter of 2008 and the possibility exists for them to extend beyond that period of time. As a result, we
increased the reserve for estimated costs reflected in our Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation to assume a liquidation period through the second quarter of 2008. There can be no assurance we will complete our liquidation in this time period, and
the resolution of the various legal matters and claims may extend through the end of 2008. We will continue to evaluate our progress in resolving the outstanding legal matters on at least a quarterly basis and re-evaluate our reserve for estimated
costs. Refer below to Note G. Litigation and Claims for the status of our outstanding legal matters and a discussion of the equity committees appeal of the Bankruptcy Courts order that authorized us to use the funds in the
restricted cash account for general corporate purposes, including payment to Senior Note holders.

Stockholders should not expect any payments or
distributions. The Indenture contemplates that as principal payments are made on the Senior Notes, our stockholders may receive a distribution equal to 5.263% (i.e., 5%/95%) of each principal prepayment. Ninety-five percent (95%) of the
remaining available cash after establishment of cash reserves as defined in the Indenture may be used to make prepayments of principal on the Senior Notes and five percent (5%) is identified for distributions to and/or repurchases of stock from
common stockholders. However, the Indenture prohibits us from making distributions to and/or repurchases from stockholders if the payments would render the Company insolvent, would be a fraudulent conveyance or would not be permitted to be made
under applicable law. Any such distribution and/or repurchase would be considered an impermissible restricted payment under the Indenture.

In conjunction
with the prepayments of Senior Notes noted above, we retained a total of $81.2 million as of September 30, 2007. Retained amounts have been segregated and reflected as restricted cash in our financial statements, pending their final
disposition. We anticipate that the retained amounts will eventually be paid to our creditors, not our stockholders. If the funds were to be paid to our stockholders, affiliates of Berkadia (jointly owned by Leucadia and Berkshire Hathaway),
which owns 50% of our common stock, would receive half of the retained amounts. Berkadia has advised us that it does not believe that stockholders are entitled to the retained amounts since we cannot fully satisfy our creditor obligations.

As previously reported, we filed a motion in the Bankruptcy Court seeking an order that (1) we no longer need to direct funds into a restricted
account, and (2) we may use those funds for general corporate purposes. On June 26, 2007, the Bankruptcy Court entered a final order granting our motion in its entirety, but stayed that order until October 22, 2007; however, the
equity committee is appealing the final order to the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. For a further discussion of the motion and its status, see Note G. Litigation and Claims.

|F. | Income Taxes
|-- | ------------

We had federal net operating loss carryforwards of
$1.5 billion as of September 30, 2007 and $1.3 billion as of December 31, 2006. No income tax expense or benefit was recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006. Any income or loss has been entirely offset by a
decrease or increase in valuation allowances against deferred tax assets, which were previously established due to concern regarding our ability to utilize income tax benefits generated from losses in prior periods. We do not expect to be able to
utilize all the deferred tax assets due to uncertainty about the amount of future earnings, a variety of loss or other tax attribute carryover limitations in the various jurisdictions in which we file tax returns and uncertainty regarding the timing
of the reversal of deferred tax liabilities.



|G. | Litigation and Claims
|-- | ---------------------

Legal Proceedings

We are party either as plaintiff or defendant to various actions, proceedings and pending claims, including legal actions, some of which involve claims for
compensatory, punitive or other damages in significant amounts. Litigation often results from our attempts to enforce our lending agreements against borrowers and other parties to those transactions. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties. It
is possible that some of the legal actions, proceedings or claims could be decided against us. Other than the matters described below, we believe that any resulting liability from our legal proceedings should not materially affect our net assets in
liquidation or cash flows. The following matters could have a material adverse impact on our net assets in liquidation or cash flows.

Historically, it was
our policy to accrue for loss contingencies, including litigation, only when the losses were probable and estimable. The determination of when losses became probable and estimable was inherently subjective and required significant judgment. Under
the liquidation basis of accounting, liabilities for loss contingencies and claims are reported at their estimated net settlement amount, which is the non-discounted amount of cash expected to be paid to liquidate or settle an obligation in the due
course of business.

If any legal proceedings were to result in a significant adverse judgment against us, it is possible that we would not be able to
satisfy that liability due to our financial condition. As previously noted, due to our financial condition, we do not expect that we can satisfy all of our secured debt obligations at maturity.

Thaxton Life Partners Litigation

On September 29, 2006,
a group of noteholders of Thaxton Life Partners, Inc. (TLP) filed suit against the Company and FINOVA Capital (the TLP Action), unrelated to the litigation against FINOVA Capital with respect to The Thaxton Group, Inc. and
several related entities, which was settled in the second quarter of 2007. The Company and FINOVA Capital were served with the TLP Action in February of 2007. The TLP Action purports to be a class action filed on behalf of approximately 150 TLP note
holders with claims related to approximately $20 million in TLP notes. The TLP Action alleges that, in connection with TLPs sale of its notes, the Company, FINOVA Capital, and several other defendants participated in a civil conspiracy,
violated the South Carolina Unfair Trade Practices Act, violated the civil RICO statute, and were unjustly enriched. In its various counts, the TLP Action seeks actual, treble, and/or punitive damages.

The TLP Action was filed in the South Carolina Court of Common Pleas of Lancaster County, Sixth Judicial Circuit, and was removed on February 6, 2007 to the United
States District Court for the District of South Carolina (the South Carolina District Court). We believe that all claims against both us and FINOVA Capital are without merit, and that, under the terms of the TLP notes, the TLP Action
must move forward in arbitration. Upon motion by the Company and FINOVA Capital to the South Carolina District Court seeking an order compelling such arbitration, the Court granted the relief sought and entered an order dismissing the action on
May 30, 2007. On June 19, 2007, the TLP plaintiffs appealed such order to the Fourth Circuit United States Court of Appeals. Further, on June 29, 2007, the TLP plaintiffs filed an arbitration demand with the American Arbitration
Association. On August 16, 2007, the Company and FINOVA Capital filed a response to the arbitration demand denying any liability. On October 15, 2007, the Company and FINOVA Capital filed a response to the Fourth Circuit appeal, responding
to all of the TLP plaintiffs arguments. In addition, on October 11, 2007, the Company and FINOVA Capital filed a motion to dismiss the Fourth Circuit appeal. The Company and FINOVA Capital intend to vigorously defend against the TLP note
holders claims asserted against them.

Motion Regarding Distributions to Stockholders

As discussed more fully in Note E. Debt, the Indenture contemplates that as principal payments are made on the Senior Notes, our stockholders may receive a
distribution equal to 5.263% of each principal prepayment. However, the Indenture prohibits distribution of those amounts due to our financial condition. Those amounts have been held in a restricted account, and totaled $81.2 million as of
September 30, 2007. Because we will not be able to repay the Senior Notes in full, on April 1, 2005, we filed a motion in the Bankruptcy Court seeking an order (1) to cease directing funds into the restricted account and (2) to
allow us to use those funds for general corporate purposes.

On December 22, 2006, the reconstituted equity committee filed a motion with the
Bankruptcy Court seeking among other things, appointment of a financial expert to review the issue of our solvency, and up to $100,000 to accomplish this task. Over our objection, the Bankruptcy Court granted the equity committees motion,
ordering that the evaluation be completed within sixty (60) days of an order being entered approving the motion. As expected, the financial expert concluded that FINOVA is insolvent. On June 26, 2007, the Bankruptcy Court issued a final
order finding, among other things, that FINOVA is presently and will be forever insolvent, and lifted the requirement that FINOVA segregate the funds into a restricted account enabling FINOVA to use these funds for general corporate purposes. The
equity committee subsequently filed a motion requesting a stay in the distribution of funds held in the restricted account pending appeal of the final order to the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (the District
Court), which was filed on July 6, 2007. The Bankruptcy Court granted the equity committee a ninety (90) day stay, which expired October 22, 2007, and directed that all further action related to this matter be heard in the
District Court. On August 31, 2007, the equity committee filed a motion with the District Court requesting a stay pending final resolution of any appeal. On October 31, 2007, the District Court granted a stay pending appeal of the
Bankruptcy Courts Final Clarification Order.

Motion Regarding Outstanding Bankruptcy Claims

On October 3, 2007, we filed a clean-up objection to outstanding disputed proofs of claims (the Clean-up Motion) in the Bankruptcy Court. The Clean-up
Motion seeks among other things to have the outstanding bankruptcy claims disallowed and expunged in their entirety. Objections to the Clean-up Motion were due by November 5, 2007. Claimants with aggregate claims of $0.7 million out of the
total $26.1 million of outstanding claims filed objections to our motion, while we agreed in principal to settle (pending court approval) $4.3 million of the outstanding claims for $0.6 million and claims of $21.1 million did not file an objection
to the Clean-up Motion as of November 5, 2007. A hearing on the Clean-up Motion is scheduled to be heard on November 15, 2007. Depending on the outcome of the hearing, the Company anticipates reevaluating the estimated settlement amount
for the bankruptcy claims, which is included in the accounts payable and other liabilities line item of the Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation.



|Item 2. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
|------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following section should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 (the 2006 Form 10-K) and the Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements included herein. Capitalized terms not defined herein are used as defined in the 2006 Form 10-K. The following discussion relates to The FINOVA Group Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively FINOVA or the Company),
including its principal operating subsidiary, FINOVA Capital Corporation and its subsidiaries (FINOVA Capital).

OVERVIEW

Plan of Liquidation.On November 1, 2006, our Board of Directors (the Board) approved the Plan of Complete Liquidation and Dissolution (the
Plan of Liquidation) and the filing of a motion (the Motion) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the Bankruptcy Court), which was approved by the Bankruptcy Court on
December 4, 2006. As a result of these approvals, we took steps to initiate our complete liquidation and as such, the information provided in this Report on Form 10-Q reflects our adoption of the liquidation basis of accounting effective the
close of business on December 4, 2006 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Under the liquidation basis of accounting, we are required to value all assets at their estimated net realizable value,
while liabilities are reported at their estimated net settlement amount. Additionally, under the liquidation basis of accounting, we are required to establish a reserve for all future estimated general and administrative expenses and other costs
expected to be incurred during the liquidation (exclusive of interest expense). These estimates will be periodically reviewed and adjusted as appropriate. There can be no assurance



12

##### Table of Contents

that these estimated values will be realized. Such amounts should not be taken as an indication of the timing or amount of future distributions or our actual
dissolution.

As of September 30, 2007, we have substantially completed the liquidation of our asset portfolio. We are now focused on the wind down of
our operations, resolution of claims and the future dissolution of our entities. We are in the process of withdrawing our authority to conduct business in the states that we no longer have active assets or legal requirements that necessitate our
continued authorization to conduct business. As of September 30, 2007, we have completed the withdrawal process for 26 states, while others are pending. Additionally, in October 2007, we filed a Clean-up Motion with the Bankruptcy Court seeking
to have the outstanding bankruptcy claims disallowed and expunged in their entirety. Refer above to Note G. Litigation and Claims for a further discussion of the Clean-up Motion. The timing and amount of distributions to Senior Note
holders will primarily depend on the resolution of claims and other litigation matters, the extent to which reserves for current or future liabilities are required, the length of time required to settle all our matters and, to a lesser extent, the
timing and amounts we receive for our remaining assets.

We have continued with efforts to wind-up the affairs of the Company in a timely manner; however
as previously noted we cannot control the timing of resolving legal matters and claims. Due to delays in resolving certain legal matters and claims, we now anticipate the liquidation period extending into 2008. Certain of these legal matters are
expected to continue into the second quarter of 2008 and the possibility exists for them to extend beyond that period of time. As a result, we increased the reserve for estimated costs reflected in our Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation to
assume a liquidation period through the second quarter of 2008. There can be no assurance we will complete our liquidation in this time period, and the resolution of the various legal matters and claims may extend through the end of 2008. We will
continue to evaluate our progress in resolving the outstanding legal matters on at least a quarterly basis and re-evaluate our reserve for estimated costs. Refer to Note G. Litigation and Claims for the status of our outstanding legal
matters.

We continue to retain sufficient cash reserves to fund our expenses, including the costs associated with the wind-up of our affairs, resolution
of outstanding bankruptcy claims and matters related to the TLP Action. As a result, we anticipate maintaining a higher cash reserve to cover these potential and uncertain expenditures and claims, which could limit our ability to make and the timing
of future voluntary principal prepayments.

Forever Insolvent.As of September 30, 2007, we have repaid $1.54 billion or approximately 52% of
the principal on the Senior Notes. Based on the valuation of our assets at their estimated net realizable value and liabilities at estimated settlement amount, we currently estimate the Senior Note holders will receive additional liquidation
distributions (principal and interest) of approximately $293.3 million, which is considerably less than the total principal and interest due of approximately $1.5 billion. We clearly do not have sufficient assets to fully repay the Senior Note
obligation. On June 26, 2007, the Bankruptcy Court issued a final order finding, among other things, that FINOVA is presently and will be forever insolvent.

No Stockholder Payments Anticipated.While the Indenture contemplated we would make payments to our stockholders as the Senior Notes were repaid, we have not made those payments. Distributions to stockholders are prohibited due to
our financial condition. Based on our liquidation basis financial statements, we will not be able to repay approximately $1.2 billion of the Senior Notes. As a result, stockholders should not expect any payments or return on their common stock.
Funds related to the restricted distributions have been held in a segregated account, pending their final disposition. We anticipate that those funds will eventually be paid to our creditors, not to our stockholders. If the funds were to be paid to
our stockholders, affiliates of Berkadia (which are owned by Berkshire Hathaway and Leucadia), as owner of 50% of our stock, would receive half of those payments.

As discussed in Note G. Litigation and Claims, we filed a motion in the Bankruptcy Court, seeking an order that (1) we no longer need to direct funds into a restricted account, and (2) we may use those funds for
general corporate purposes. On June 26, 2007, the Bankruptcy Court issued a final order that granted our motion in its entirety, but stayed that order until October 22, 2007. The final order is currently being appealed to the United States
District Court for the District of Delaware by the equity committee.

No Restructuring Plan Contemplated.On numerous occasions, we have been asked
whether there is some plan to save the Company and our net operating loss carryforwards (NOL). As we have noted for some time, the Board remains willing to consider legitimate proposals presented by note holders or others, but we are not
formulating a restructuring plan intended to enable us to emerge as a healthy company.

##### Table of Contents

Many obstacles exist to creation of a viable restructuring plan. A restructuring presumes a sensible business plan
emerging from that process. In light of our dwindling asset base, lack of retained business knowledge and the competitive environment, we believe it would be difficult, if not futile, in these circumstances to develop a business model that can
produce returns to the creditors and/or new investors greater than that expected from the present course. Absent that, or a substantial new investment in FINOVA, we believe it would be difficult to obtain the requisite approval to restructure the
present debt obligations. The task has become more difficult due to the substantial liquidation of our portfolio and continuation of the wind-up process. We caution investors to carefully evaluate applicable tax regulations, which restrict the
ability to transfer or use NOLs in a variety of circumstances. Our financial statements do not anticipate using the NOLs for those and other reasons.

HIGH INVESTMENT RISK OF SECURITIES. As previously stated, we will not be able to fully repay the Senior Notes or to make any distributions to our stockholders, absent a court order in connection with the appeal referred to above.
Consequently, investing in our Senior Notes and common stock involves a high level of risk.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our consolidated financial statements continue to be prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial
statements requires us to use estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities. These estimates are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could materially impact the amounts reported
and disclosed in the financial statements. See Item 1A. Risk Factors and Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements in our 2006 Form 10-K for more information on these risks and uncertainties. We believe the
following to be among the most critical judgment areas in the application of our accounting policies.

Liquidation Basis of Accounting

With the approval of our Plan of Liquidation by the Bankruptcy Court, our complete liquidation is considered to be imminent and as such, we adopted
the liquidation basis of accounting effective the close of business on December 4, 2006 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. A Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation and a Statement of Changes in Net
Assets in Liquidation are the principal financial statements presented under the liquidation basis of accounting. Under the liquidation basis of accounting, assets are stated at their estimated net realizable value, which is the non-discounted
amount of cash, or its equivalent, into which an asset is expected to be converted in the due course of business less direct costs, while liabilities are reported at their estimated net settlement amount, which is the non-discounted amounts of cash,
or its equivalent, expected to be paid to liquidate an obligation in the due course of business, including direct costs. Additionally, under the liquidation basis of accounting, we are required to establish a reserve for all future estimated general
and administrative expenses and other costs expected to be incurred during the liquidation (exclusive of interest expense). These estimates will be periodically reviewed and adjusted as appropriate. There can be no assurance that these estimated
values will be realized. Such amounts should not be taken as an indication of the timing or amount of future distributions to be made. The valuation of assets at their net realizable value and liabilities at their anticipated settlement amount
represent estimates, based on present facts and circumstances, of the net realizable value of the assets and the costs associated with carrying out the Plan of Liquidation based on the assumptions set forth below. The actual values and costs
associated with carrying out the Plan of Liquidation are expected to differ from amounts reflected in the accompanying financial statements because of the plans inherent uncertainty. These differences may be material. In particular, the
estimates of our costs will vary with the length of time necessary to complete the Plan of Liquidation. Accordingly, it is not possible to predict with certainty the timing or aggregate amount which will ultimately be distributed to note holders and
no assurance can be given that the distributions will equal or exceed the estimate presented in the accompanying Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation or the price at which our Senior Notes have traded or are expected to trade in the future.

The following are the significant assumptions utilized by management in assessing the value of our liquidating portfolio and the expected settlement
amount of liabilities included in the Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006.

Net Realizable
Value Supported by Underlying Loan or Direct Financing Agreements.All loans and direct financing leases were adjusted to their estimated net realizable values, which represented all future undiscounted cash flows expected to be collected from
each of these transactions including sales and settlement proceeds, principal collections, scheduled rental payments and interest. Anticipated cash collections were partially offset by any known direct costs and liabilities assumed by

buyers including aircraft maintenance reserves and security deposits that were previously collected. As of September 30, 2007, substantially all loans
and direct financing leases had been liquidated.

Net Realizable Value Supported by Underlying Operating Leases and Other Owned Assets. All owned
assets (operating leases and off-lease assets) were adjusted to their estimated net realizable values, which represented all future undiscounted cash flows expected to be collected from each of these transactions including sales proceeds and
scheduled rental payments. Anticipated cash collections were partially offset by any known direct costs such as maintenance and make ready costs for certain aircraft and liabilities assumed by buyers including aircraft maintenance reserves and
security deposits that were previously collected. As of September 30, 2007, all operating leases and other owned assets had been liquidated.

Investments. All investments are reported at either their fair value or estimated net realizable values, based on published information, quotes by registered securities brokers or signed contracts. Investments for which market
information is not readily available were valued based on estimated future cash flows that may be realized from the investment, if any.

Reserve for
Estimated Costs during the Liquidation Period. Under the liquidation basis of accounting, we are required to estimate and accrue for costs associated with implementing and completing the Plan of Liquidation. The reserve for estimated costs
includes four primary areas of accruals including people costs (payroll, benefits and severance), Leucadia management fees, professional services and litigation costs and corporate expenses (insurance, directors fees and entity related
expenses). These amounts can vary significantly due to, among other things, the timing of assets sales, the timing and amounts associated with discharging known and contingent liabilities and claims, the costs associated with cessation of our
operations including an estimate of costs subsequent to that date (which would include reserve contingencies for the appropriate statutory periods) and the costs of retaining knowledgeable personnel and others to oversee the liquidation. As a
result, we have accrued the projected costs including corporate overhead and specific liquidation costs of severance and performance bonuses, professional fees and various other wind-up costs expected to be incurred during the projected period to
complete the liquidation and dissolution. These expense accruals will be periodically reviewed for adequacy and adjusted from time to time as projections and assumptions change. Changes to the accruals will be recorded as adjustments to net assets
in liquidation in future periods.

With the adoption of the liquidation basis of accounting, all anticipated improvements or deterioration in the portfolio
are fully reflected in our financial statements as facts and assumptions change.

Changes in Net Assets in Liquidation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007

During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the estimated net realizable value of our assets and liabilities decreased a net $0.4 million
primarily due to revised purchase prices on certain aircraft following their revaluation based upon updated



15

##### Table of Contents

aircraft specifications and usage reports and a slight decline in the net realizable value of an engine based upon bids obtained through an auction process
to liquidate the asset, partially offset by an increase in interest accruing on sales transactions due to delays in the final closure of the deals, a slight increase in the purchase price of other aviation assets, the settlement of certain
bankruptcy claims for lower than previously anticipated amounts and the realization of certain customer claims in the third quarter of 2007 for amounts in excess of previous estimates.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, we accrued $26.7 million and $81.8 million, respectively, of additional interest on the Senior Notes and earned interest income on cash investments and
other operating activity of $3.6 million and $11.8 million, respectively. All cash received on the portfolio is applied against its estimated net realizable value, which took into consideration all expected interest and rental payments. Any cash
received in excess of an individual assets estimated net realizable value is shown as a change in net assets in the period of collection. Amounts received during 2007 were not considered to be significant.

The net realizable value of our assets does not take into consideration all future interest to be earned on cash and cash equivalents. Interest earned on the investment
of cash reserves is shown separately as a change in net assets. During the third quarter of 2007, we altered our investment of cash reserves by exiting the commercial paper market entirely. As of September 30, 2007, our short-term investments
are primarily comprised of low risk money markets, U.S. Treasuries, 100% government backed securities and certificates of deposit. We decided to give up some yield to ensure maximum principal preservation.

Additionally, as previously discussed, we established a reserve for estimated costs during the liquidation period and all future expenditures for operating expenses are
charged directly against the reserve. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, the reserve declined to $16.8 million due to the payment of expenses ($4.1 million and $15.4 million, respectively) and a reduction in our estimate
as a result of certain actual expenses being lower than originally anticipated, partially offset by a net increase caused by the extension of the estimated liquidation period through the second quarter of 2008 and an increase in the estimated
insurance costs associated with our wind-up. We have continued with efforts to wind-up the affairs of the Company in a timely manner; however as previously noted we cannot control the timing of resolving legal matters and claims. Due to delays in
resolving certain legal matters and claims, we now anticipate the liquidation period extending into 2008. Certain of these legal matters are expected to continue into the second quarter of 2008 and the possibility exists for them to extend beyond
that period of time. As a result, we increased the reserve for estimated costs reflected in our Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation to assume a liquidation period through the second quarter of 2008. There can be no assurance we will complete our
liquidation in this time period, and the resolution of the various legal matters and claims may extend through the end of 2008. We will continue to evaluate our progress in resolving the outstanding legal matters on at least a quarterly basis and
re-evaluate our reserve for estimated costs. Refer to Note G. Litigation and Claims for the status of our outstanding legal matters.

Due to
the fact that we do not have sufficient assets to fully satisfy all obligations to our creditors, any change to the estimated net realizable value of our assets and liabilities results in a corresponding adjustment to the estimated settlement amount
of the Senior Notes. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, the estimated settlement amount of the Senior Notes (principal only) was reduced by $27.1 million and $78.3 million, respectively, to a balance of $253.0 million;
however, we currently estimate the Senior Note holders will receive total liquidation distributions (principal and interest) of approximately $408.3 million, including amounts already distributed during 2007, which is a $3.5 million increase over
our year-end estimate.

Results of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2006

During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we generated net income (on a going concern basis) of $10.4 million. In general, the net income was primarily
attributable to asset realization in excess of recorded carrying amounts, partially offset by a negative interest margin and normal operating expenses. Under the going concern basis, asset realization in excess of recorded carrying amounts was
primarily reflected in the financial statements as reversals of excess reserve for credit losses, net gains from sales of financial assets and the recognition of suspended income upon the payoff of assets.

During 2006, the aircraft-finance market continued to display a high level of activity and in certain instances improved aircraft values. As a result, our transportation
portfolio continued to generate cash in excess of recorded carrying amounts, which resulted in $86.6 million of the $106.9 million net gains we recognized during the first nine months of 2006. Additionally, results for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006 were enhanced by a revaluation of our non-aviation assets in

conjunction with their classification as held for sale and subsequent sale, which resulted in a $14.7 million reversal of provision for credit losses,
partially offset by an $8.7 million specific reserve related to the Thaxton loan.

Our asset realization in excess of recorded carrying amounts was
partially offset by a $73.2 million negative interest margin, which is primarily due to our portfolio containing a lower level of earning assets ($12.9 million at September 30, 2006) than the principal amount of outstanding debt ($1.5 billion
at September 30, 2006) and a high aggregate cost of funds (aggregate effective rate of 13.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006).

Results of Operations for the three months ended September 30, 2006

During the three months ended September 30, 2006, we
generated net income (on a going concern basis) of $4.6 million. In general, the net income was primarily attributable to asset realization in excess of recorded carrying amounts, partially offset by a negative interest margin, normal operating
expenses and a net provision for credit losses.

During the three months ended September 30, 2006, the aircraft-finance market continued to display a
high level of activity and in certain instances improved aircraft values. As a result, our transportation portfolio continued to generate cash in excess of recorded carrying amounts, which resulted in $42.8 million of the $49.9 million net gains we
recognized during the third quarter of 2006.

Our asset realization in excess of recorded carrying amounts was partially offset by a $25.4 million negative
interest margin, which was significantly impacted by a lower level of earning assets ($12.9 million at September 30, 2006) than the principal amount of outstanding debt ($1.5 billion at September 30, 2006) and a high aggregate cost of
funds (aggregate effective rate of 14.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2006) and a $7.2 million net provision for credit losses recorded during the quarter. The provision was necessary to establish an $8.7 million specific reserve
related to the Thaxton loan, which adjusted the net book value of the loan to its estimated settlement.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL
RESOURCES

Since emergence from chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings in August 2001, our business activities have been limited to maximizing the value of
our portfolio through the orderly collection of our assets. These activities included collection efforts pursuant to underlying contractual terms, negotiation of prepayments and sales of assets or collateral. We have substantially completed the
liquidation of our portfolio and our focus has shifted to the continued wind down of our operations and future dissolution of our entities. We are prohibited by the Indenture governing our 7.5% Senior Secured Notes (the Senior Notes)
from engaging in any new lending activities or other business. Any funds generated in excess of cash reserves permitted by our debt agreements have been used to reduce obligations to our creditors.

Because substantially all of our assets (including cash reserves) are pledged to secure obligations under the Intercompany Notes securing the Senior Notes, our ability
to obtain additional or alternate financing is severely restricted. Berkadia has no obligation to lend additional sums to or to further invest in FINOVA. As a result of these factors and the substantial liquidation of our portfolio, our only
meaningful source of liquidity is cash reserves held by the Company.

The terms of the Indenture prohibit us from using available funds (after certain
permitted uses) for any purpose other than to satisfy our obligations to creditors and to make limited payments to stockholders in certain circumstances. Under the terms of the Indenture, we are permitted to establish a cash reserve in an amount not
to exceed certain defined criteria. Due to our limited sources of liquidity, the estimation of cash reserves is critical to our overall liquidity. Cash reserve estimations are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that
could materially impact the amounts determined. Failure to adequately estimate a cash reserve in one period could result in insufficient liquidity to meet obligations in that period, or in a subsequent period, if actual cash requirements exceed the
cash reserve estimates. Historically, cash reserves typically equaled anticipated cash flows to cover operating costs, tax payments, fundings under existing customer commitments, interest payments and any other necessary cash flows expected to occur
during the next six month period. We have the discretion to and have from time to time adjusted our cash reserve methodology. Due to the substantial liquidation of our portfolio, our incoming cash flows have significantly diminished and the
estimation of cash reserves has become increasingly more critical to ensure we retain sufficient funds to meet obligations (including, but not limited to, interest payments on the Senior Notes, settlement of known and unknown claims and normal
operating expenses) as they become due throughout the liquidation process. Generally speaking, our cash reserve methodology has been altered to retain our maximum potential cash requirements. As a result, we are reserving cash for the full amount of
claims and litigation even



17

##### Table of Contents

though we anticipate settling or resolving the matters for considerably less. Additionally, our cash reserve methodology assumes a longer liquidation period
than our reserve for estimated costs, as well as a contingency for unknown matters that may arise as we complete the wind-up process.

In accordance with
the terms of the Indenture, we are required to use any excess cash, as defined in the Indenture, to make semi-annual interest and principal payments on the Senior Notes. Additionally, the Indenture permits voluntary prepayments at our option, which
we have previously elected to make from time to time; however, due to the uncertainty of cash requirements associated with the wind-up of our affairs, resolution of outstanding bankruptcy claims and matters related to the TLP Action, discussed in
Note G. Litigation and Claims, we anticipate maintaining a higher cash reserve to cover these potential and uncertain expenditures, which could limit our ability to make future voluntary prepayments.

The timing and amount of distributions to Senior Note holders will depend on the timing and amount of proceeds we receive upon the sale of our remaining assets, the
resolution of claims and other litigation matters, the extent to which reserves for current or future liabilities are required and the length of time required to settle all of our matters. We have continued with efforts to wind-up the affairs of the
Company in a timely manner; however as previously noted we cannot control the timing of resolving legal matters and claims. Due to delays in resolving certain legal matters and claims, we now anticipate the liquidation period extending into 2008.
Certain of these legal matters are expected to continue into the second quarter of 2008 and the possibility exists for them to extend beyond that period of time. As a result, we increased the reserve for estimated costs reflected in our Statement of
Net Assets in Liquidation to assume a liquidation period through the second quarter of 2008. There can be no assurance we will complete our liquidation in this time period, and the resolution of the various legal matters and claims may extend
through the end of 2008. We will continue to evaluate our progress in resolving the outstanding legal matters on at least a quarterly basis and re-evaluate our reserve for estimated costs. Refer to Note G. Litigation and Claims for the
status of our outstanding legal matters and a discussion of the equity committees appeal of the Bankruptcy Courts order that authorizes us to use the funds in the restricted cash account for general corporate purposes, including payment
to Senior Note holders.

During the third quarter of 2007, we made no principal prepayments on the Senior Notes. Cumulative prepayments through the third
quarter of 2007 totaled $1.54 billion, which reduced the outstanding principal to $1.4 billion and represents approximately 52% of the principal being repaid. Based on the valuation of our assets at their estimated net realizable value and
liabilities at estimated settlement amount, we currently estimate the Senior Note holders will receive additional liquidation distributions (principal and interest) of approximately $293.3 million, which is considerably less than the total principal
and interest due of approximately $1.5 billion. These estimated distributions ($293.3 million) taken together with $115.0 million of principal and interest already distributed during 2007 increase the total liquidation distributions (principal and
interest) to approximately $408.3 million, which is a $3.5 million increase over our year-end estimate. The estimated settlement amount was determined solely based on the net assets available for settlement of the Senior Notes and is subject to
change due to changes in the estimated net realizable value of our net assets. We clearly do not have sufficient assets to fully repay the Senior Note obligation.

The Senior Notes have a first priority security interest in substantially all of our remaining assets; however, as noted above, the Indenture requires us to first use any cash and cash equivalents to pay or to fund operating expenses, taxes
and reasonable reserves for commitments and general corporate purposes.

Stockholders should not expect any payments or distributions. The Indenture
contemplates that as principal payments are made on the Senior Notes, our stockholders may receive a distribution equal to 5.263% of each principal prepayment. However, the Indenture prohibits us from making distributions to and/or repurchases from
stockholders if the payments would render the Company insolvent, would be a fraudulent conveyance or would not be permitted to be made under applicable law. Any such distribution and/or repurchase would be considered an impermissible restricted
payment under the Indenture.

In conjunction with the prepayments of Senior Notes noted above, we retained a total of $81.2 million as of
September 30, 2007. Retained amounts have been segregated and reflected as restricted cash in our financial statements, pending their final disposition. We anticipate that the retained amounts will eventually be paid to our creditors,
not our stockholders. If the funds were to be paid to our stockholders, affiliates of Berkadia (jointly owned by Leucadia and Berkshire Hathaway), which owns 50% of our common stock, would receive half of the retained amounts. Berkadia has
advised us that it does not believe that stockholders are entitled to the retained amounts since we cannot fully satisfy our creditor obligations.

##### Table of Contents

As previously reported, we filed a motion in the Bankruptcy Court seeking an order that (1) we no longer need to
direct funds into a restricted account, and (2) we may use those funds for general corporate purposes. On June 26, 2007, the Bankruptcy Court entered a final order granting our motion in its entirety, but stayed that order until
October 22, 2007; however, the equity committee is appealing the final order to the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. For a further discussion of the motion and its status, see Note G. Litigation and Claims.

Based on our financial condition, there will not be sufficient funds available to fully repay the outstanding principal on the Senior Notes or to make
any 5% distribution to common stockholders, absent a court order in connection with the appeal referred to above. As a result, there will not be a return to our stockholders. Consequently, investing in the Senior Notes and common stock involves a
high level of risk.

Obligations and Commitments

For a detailed listing of our significant contractual obligations and contingent commitments, refer to our 2006 Form 10-K. There has not been any material changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2007, except for a $59.4
million prepayment of Senior Notes and payment of our quarterly management fees ($6.0 million as of September 30, 2007) to Leucadia.

Collection
of the Portfolio

As noted previously, our business activities have been limited to maximizing the value of our portfolio through the orderly
collection of assets. These activities included collection efforts pursuant to underlying contractual terms, negotiation of prepayments and sales of assets or collateral. During 2007, we substantially completed the liquidation of our portfolio.

Our liquidating portfolio declined to $5.4 million at September 30, 2007, down from $185.5 million at
December 31, 2006. During 2007, our cash activity was comprised of customer collections (including recoveries) and proceeds received from the sale of assets, while non-cash activity resulted in a net decrease to the estimated net realizable
value of certain assets. Cash activity included the collection of $83.7 million in full and final settlement of the Thaxton loan and the sale of the remainder of our aviation assets for amounts that approximated their previously reported estimated
net realizable values. The non-cash decrease in value of assets was primarily due to revised purchase prices on certain aircraft following their revaluation based upon updated aircraft specifications and usage reports and a slight decline in the net
realizable value of an engine based upon bids obtained through an auction process to liquidate the asset, partially offset by an increase in interest accruing on sales transactions due to delays in the final closure of the deals, a slight increase
in the purchase price of other aviation assets and the realization of certain customer claims for amounts in excess of previous estimates.

As of
September 30, 2007, the remaining portfolio value is comprised of a few small financing transactions that are expected to be collected in their normal course before year-end or shortly thereafter and investments with a net realizable value of
approximately $5.2 million, which includes our remaining $4.6 million investment in two grantor trusts to secure severance and bonus obligations to our employees. These assets are held primarily for the benefit of our employees, but are recorded as
investments due to our retained interest in any excess assets. As of September 30, 2007, the obligation to current and former employees is estimated to be $2.6 million, resulting in estimated excess assets of approximately $2.0 million that
will revert to the Company upon discharge of all obligations. In an effort to continue to wind-up our affairs, on November 12, 2007, we amended the severance plan and trust agreements to terminate the plans effective December 31, 2007 and
pay the remaining

eligible employees their scheduled benefits in early 2008 while they remain actively employed. Upon discharge of these remaining obligations to employees,
any assets remaining in the trusts will be distributed to the Company.

The remaining portfolio also includes, among other transactions, a number of
customer judgments and claims, a few non-marketable private equity securities and certain obligations owed to us by companies that are themselves in liquidation. In the majority of these instances, we did not attribute any net realizable value to
these assets due to our inability to predict the collection of any cash flows from the transactions with even a remote level of confidence. Most of these transactions were previously included in due diligence materials in an attempt to sell the
assets, but were excluded on multiple occasions by prospective buyers because of costs of collection and potential liability concerns of the buyers. During the third quarter of 2007, multiple buyers that specialize in these types of residual assets
and claims performed due diligence, but were not interested in making an offer. We continue to monitor these accounts for changes in facts and circumstances that would allow us to attribute value to these assets or events that resolve their ultimate
disposition. As a result, there is the possibility that some net realizable value will be attributed to these assets in the future. An increase in the estimated net realizable value of these assets, if any, will be reflected as a change in net
assets in liquidation in future filings. Additionally, we continue to occasionally receive small amounts of proceeds typically from trustees for assets that in certain cases were written off years ago. These cash flows are typically immaterial and
are reflected as a change in net assets in liquidation as they are received.

Liquidation Process

Due to the substantial liquidation of our portfolio, our incoming cash flows have significantly diminished and the estimation of cash reserves has become increasingly
more critical to ensure we retain sufficient funds to meet obligations (including, but not limited to, interest payments on the Senior Notes, settlement of known and unknown claims and normal operating expenses) as they become due throughout the
liquidation process. Generally speaking, our cash reserve methodology was altered during 2007 to retain our maximum potential cash requirements. Due to the uncertainty of cash requirements associated with the wind-up of our affairs, resolution of
outstanding bankruptcy claims and matters related to the TLP Action, discussed in Note G. Litigation and Claims, we anticipate maintaining a higher cash reserve to cover these potential and uncertain expenditures, which could limit our
ability to make future voluntary prepayments.

Our liquidation process is now focused on the wind down of our operations, resolution of claims and the
future dissolution of our entities. We are in the process of withdrawing our authority to conduct business in the states that we no longer have active assets or legal requirements that necessitate our continued authorization to conduct business. The
estimated time required to withdraw our licenses will vary by state. Many states will only take a month or two to complete, while certain states have a more prolonged process that may take a number of months. Additionally, there are a handful of
states such as Arizona and Delaware, among others, where we do not anticipate commencing the withdraw process until all outstanding claims and litigation have been resolved or active assets liquidated. As of September 30, 2007, we have
completed the withdrawal process for 26 states, while others are pending.

Prior to September 30, 2007, we settled all active bankruptcy claims for
amounts that were less than previously estimated, resulting in an approximately $0.7 million reduction in our claims accrual. The remaining bankruptcy claims have been predominantly idle since 2001. In October 2007, we filed a Clean-up Motion with
the Bankruptcy Court seeking to have the outstanding bankruptcy claims disallowed and expunged in their entirety. Refer to Note G. Litigation and Claims for a further discussion of the Clean-up Motion.

We have continued with efforts to wind-up the affairs of the Company in a timely manner; however as previously noted we cannot control the timing of resolving legal
matters and claims. Due to delays in resolving certain legal matters and claims, we now anticipate the liquidation period extending into 2008. Certain of these legal matters are expected to continue into the second quarter of 2008 and the
possibility exists for them to extend beyond that period of time. As a result, we increased the reserve for estimated costs reflected in our Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation to assume a liquidation period through the second quarter of 2008.
There can be no assurance we will complete our liquidation in this time period, and the resolution of the various legal matters and claims may extend through the end of 2008. We will continue to evaluate our progress in resolving the outstanding
legal matters on at least a quarterly basis and re-evaluate our reserve for estimated costs. Refer to Note G. Litigation and Claims for the status of our outstanding legal matters.

In conjunction with the continued wind down of our operations, we reduced our staff to four employees as of September 30, 2007 as compared to 32 employees at
December 31, 2006. We do not anticipate any further staffing reductions. The four remaining employees are scheduled to remain through the completion of the liquidation process. Staff reductions during the

third quarter included the departure on August 31, 2007 of an executive officer (Philip A. Donnelly, Senior Vice President, General Counsel and
Secretary). Legal activity has significantly declined on a day to day basis and we will utilize external counsel to deal with our remaining legal issues. We will continue to operate as a public company throughout the liquidation period under a
Management Services Agreement with Leucadia that expires in 2011 and retain sufficient cash reserves to fund operating expenses as they come due.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements in this report are forward-looking, in that
they do not discuss historical fact, but instead reflect future expectations, projections, intentions, or other items. Forward-looking statements are made pursuant to the safe-harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. These forward-looking statements include assumptions, estimates and valuations implicit in the financial statements and related notes, as well as matters discussed throughout this report including, but not limited to projections, our Plan of
Liquidation, sections captioned Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk. They are also
made in documents incorporated in this report by reference, or in which this report may be incorporated.

Forward-looking statements are inherently subject
to risks and uncertainties, many of which cannot be predicted or quantified. When used in this report, the words estimate, expects, anticipates, believes, plans, intends and
similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements that involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties. The risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause our actual results or performance to differ materially from
those contemplated by the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following: whether we can assure Senior Note holders of the timing or amount of their liquidating distributions; whether potential purchasers of our assets may
try to take advantage of our liquidation process and offer less-than-optimal prices for our assets; the increasing difficulty in offsetting costs of collecting the remaining portfolio in view of our decreasing asset pool; our Board may abandon the
Plan of Liquidation; whether new securities lawsuits will be filed against us; our ability to sell the remaining assets; the impact of general economic conditions and the performance of our borrowers; current and future legal and administrative
claims and proceedings against us that may result in increased costs and diversion of managements attention; current and future obligations to creditors; our ability to meet obligations is impacted by cash reserve estimations; cash investments
are subject to credit exposure and interest rate fluctuations; our ability to retain our employees; our ability to utilize tax attributes; and our ability to be exempt from the registration requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940. For
additional information, see Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our 2006 Form 10-K.

Undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking
statements, which are applicable only as of the date of this Report. We do not intend to update forward-looking information to reflect actual results or changes in assumptions or other factors that could affect those statements. We cannot predict
the risk from reliance on forward-looking statements in light of the many factors that could affect their accuracy.

There
were no material changes from the information provided in our 2006 Form 10-K.



|Item 4. | Controls and Procedures
|------- | -----------------------



|(a) | Our management evaluated, with the participation of our principal executive and principal financial officers, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined
in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)), as of September 30, 2007. Based on their evaluation, our principal executive and principal financial officers concluded that
our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2007.
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(b) | There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during our fiscal
quarter ended September 30, 2007, that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As a result of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules issued thereunder, we are scheduled to include in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2007 a report on managements

assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. Our independent registered public accountants will not be required to
attest to and report on the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting until the year ending December 31, 2008.

The
process of complying with these requirements includes a comprehensive evaluation and documentation of our internal controls over financial reporting. In this regard, management is prepared to dedicate internal resources and adopt a detailed plan to
(i) document our internal controls over financial reporting, (ii) assess the adequacy of our internal controls over financial reporting, (iii) take steps to improve control processes where appropriate and (iv) validate through
testing that controls are functioning as documented. There can be no assurance that deficiencies or weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls over financial reporting will not be found and, if found, that we will have sufficient
time to remediate any such deficiencies or weaknesses and perform testing procedures before the end of 2007.

We believe that any system of
internal accounting controls, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable (and not absolute) assurance that all of our objectives will be met, including the detection of fraud. Furthermore, no evaluation of internal
accounting controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.

We continue
to reduce our workforce, consolidate operations and outsource certain functions. Accordingly, responsibility for administration, management and review of many of our assets has transitioned among our remaining personnel. In conjunction with further
reductions in personnel and the relocation of our corporate office, we have transitioned most of our accounting and business support applications to manual processes supported by a system of manual internal controls and spreadsheets. Management has
supervised these transitions and has implemented procedures we believe provide effective disclosure and internal controls over financial reporting. We are assessing the efficacy of these procedures and will continue to do so in subsequent periods.
