HOMEFED CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

1. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, which reflect all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) that management
believes are necessary to present fairly the 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, as amended by Form 10-K/A, 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 Company's audited annual
consolidated 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. Field overhead and management service fees earned from the San Elijo Hills
project, which is owned by a subsidiary of Leucadia National Corporation
("Leucadia"), were $1,553,000 and $1,422,000 for the periods ended June 30,
2002 and 2001, respectively. In addition, the Company received co-op
marketing and advertising fees from the project's homebuilders of $896,000
and $347,000 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001,
respectively, and $426,000 and $179,000 for the three month periods ended
June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

3. The note payable to Leucadia Financial Corporation, a subsidiary of
Leucadia, ("LFC") has a principal amount of $26,462,000 and matures on
December 31, 2004. Interest on the note of $787,000 was expensed and paid
during each of the six month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001.
Additionally, $561,000 and $498,000 of debt discount on the note was
amortized as interest expense during the six month periods ended June 30,
2002 and 2001, respectively.

4. In March 2001, the Company entered into a $3,000,000 line of credit
agreement with LFC. Loans outstanding under this line of credit bear
interest at 10% per annum. Effective March 1, 2002, this agreement was
amended to extend the maturity to February 28, 2007, unless earlier
terminated by LFC not later than November 15 of any year, effective
February 28 of the following year. At June 30, 2002, $650,000 was
outstanding under this facility. Interest on the line of credit of $17,000
and $13,000 was expensed and paid during the six month periods ended June
30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

5. Basic income (loss) per share of Common Stock was 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 for the periods they were outstanding. The number of
shares used to calculate basic earnings (loss) per share amounts was
56,808,076 and 56,807,826 for the six and three month periods ended June
30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The number of shares used to calculate
diluted earnings (loss) per share was 57,138,257 and 56,807,826 for the six
month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and 57,146,417
and 56,807,826 for the three month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001,
respectively. Options to purchase 353,689 and 331,237 weighted average
shares for the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2001,
respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted loss per
share as those options were antidilutive.

Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements, continued

6. Under the current administrative services agreement, which was amended as
of January 1, 2002 to extend through December 31, 2002, LFC provides
administrative services, including providing the services of one of the
Company's executive officers, for a monthly fee of $10,000. Administrative
fees paid to LFC were $60,000 and $56,000 for the six month periods ended
June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and $34,000 and $25,000 for the three
month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

The Company's corporate office is in part of an office building subleased
from Leucadia for a monthly amount equal to its share of Leucadia's cost
for such space and furniture. In connection with these rentals, the Company
expensed $124,000 for each of the six month periods ended June 30, 2002 and
2001, respectively, and $62,000 and $66,000 for the three month periods
ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

7. In June 2002, the partnership relating to the development in La Quinta,
California, in which one of the Company's subsidiary's was a partner, was
dissolved. In connection therewith, the subsidiary is no longer required to
maintain a minimum net worth of $1,000,000 in connection with an indemnity
agreement.

8. In June 2002, Otay Land Company sold 85 acres of developable land for total
cash proceeds of $4,285,000, which included $500,000 previously received as
a non-refundable deposit. Cost of sales related to this transaction
aggregated $809,000, consisting of land costs, closing costs and
commissions. Land costs allocated to the parcel of land sold were
determined based on the relative fair values of the various land components
prior to development and are charged to cost of sales at the time of the
sale.

The cash generated from this sale is not available for general corporate
use by the Company; however, as permitted by the provisions of the Otay
Land Company LLC agreement, it has been retained by Otay Land Company to
fund its project costs and operating expenses. Any distribution of
available cash from Otay Land Company must first be paid to Leucadia to
satisfy its cumulative preferred return and its preferred capital interest
before any distributions can be paid to the Company. At June 30, 2002,
Leucadia's preferred capital interest and cumulative preferred return,
which is reflected as minority interest in the consolidated balance sheet,
totaled $14,115,000.

9. Income tax expense for the periods ended June 30, 2002 principally relates
to federal and state minimum taxes incurred. Income tax expense for periods
ended June 30, 2001 principally relates to state franchise taxes. In
addition, for the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2002, the
actual income tax provision was less than the amount which would result
from applying the expected statutory federal rate due to the pre-tax income
of Otay Land Company, which is not taxable to the Company. In accordance
with the provisions of the Otay Land Company LLC agreement, all profits are
allocated to Leucadia until it has received its cumulative preferred
return.

10. On July 10, 2002, options to purchase an aggregate of 6,000 shares of
Common Stock were granted to members of the Board of Directors under the
Company's 1999 Stock Incentive Plan at an exercise price of $.95 per share,
the then current market price per share.

11. The current schedule under the general development plan for Otay Ranch
calls for the conveyance of mitigation land from an identified initial area
in which the Company owns 437 acres. Some owners of developable land in the
project do not have enough mitigation land in the area of initial
conveyance to enable them to proceed with immediate development of their
development land. Strict compliance with the existing requirements for
conveyance of mitigation land would have created an immediate market for
the Company's 437 acres of mitigation land in the initial area of
conveyance. However, the City of Chula Vista has not strictly enforced the
existing conveyance schedule, and proposed an amended conveyance schedule
that was adopted by the County of San Diego to increase the amount of
acreage that qualifies as mitigation land for purposes of initial
development. The Company has opposed this expansion.
7


Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements, continued

On August 6, 2002, the Company reached conceptual agreement with the City
of Chula Vista and another party on settlement of the Company's objection
to the amendment of the conveyance schedule. Under the proposed settlement,
among other things, the Company would withdraw its objection to the revised
conveyance schedule and the City would agree to acquire the Company's 437
acres of mitigation land by eminent domain proceedings. The amount that the
Company could ultimately receive for this property will be based upon
appraisals to be conducted and the result of the eminent domain
proceedings, if commenced, cannot be currently estimated and may take a
long period of time to resolve. A final agreement memorializing the
settlement is expected to be approved by the City of Chula Vista by August
27, 2002, although there can be no assurance that any such agreement will
in fact be signed. Failure to enter into the settlement or the City's
failure to conclude the eminent domain proceedings could have a material
adverse effect on the value of the Company's 437 acres of excess mitigation
land under the original conveyance schedule. No assurance can be given that
the settlement agreement will be entered into and that, if entered into,
the eminent domain proceedings will be successfully concluded.

12. The Company recently received a non-binding offer to purchase approximately
1,450 acres of developable and related mitigation land within Otay Ranch
for a sales price of $22,500,000. The Company is currently considering
whether to accept the offer. If the transaction were completed, this sale
would result in a pre-tax gain of approximately $18,000,000 for Otay Land
Company, and the sales proceeds would give the Otay Land Company the
ability to completely satisfy the preferred capital interest and preferred
return due to Leucadia (aggregating $14,115,000 at June 30, 2002). If the
Company determines to accept this non-binding offer, consummation of the
transaction would be subject to a number of conditions, including execution
of a contract of sale, obtaining necessary regulatory approvals from the
offeror and other matters. No assurance can be given that even if the
Company accepts the offer, that the requisite approvals would be obtained
and that the transaction would ultimately be consummated.

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
Company's 2001 10-K.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

For the six month period ended June 30, 2002, net cash was provided by
operations, primarily from the proceeds of the sale of real estate at the Otay
Ranch project as described below. For the six month period ended June 30, 2001,
net cash was used for operating activities principally to pay interest and
general and administrative expenses. The Company's principal sources of funds
are fee income earned from the San Elijo Hills project, proceeds from the sale
of the Company's real estate, its $3,000,000 line of credit from LFC and
dividends or borrowings from its subsidiaries.

In June 2002, Otay Land Company sold 85 acres of developable land for total cash
proceeds of $4,285,000, which included $500,000 previously received as a
non-refundable deposit. The cash generated from this sale is not available for
general corporate use by the Company; however, as permitted by the provisions of
the Otay Land Company LLC agreement, it has been retained by Otay Land Company
to fund its project costs and operating expenses. Any distribution of available
cash from Otay Land Company must first be paid to Leucadia to satisfy its
cumulative preferred return and its preferred capital interest before any
distributions can be paid to the Company. At June 30, 2002, Leucadia's preferred
capital interest and cumulative preferred return, which is reflected as minority
interest in the consolidated balance sheet, totaled $14,115,000.

The Company expects that its cash on hand, together with the sources described
above, will be sufficient to meet its cash flow needs for the foreseeable
future. If, at any time in the future, the Company's cash flow is insufficient
to meet its then current cash requirements, the Company could accelerate its
subsidiaries' sale of real estate projects held for development or seek to
borrow funds. However, because all of the Company's assets are pledged to LFC to
collateralize its $26,462,000 borrowing from LFC, it may be unable to obtain
financing at favorable rates, if at all, from sources other than LFC. Further,
if the Company were to sell its real estate projects in order to meet its
liquidity needs, it may have to do so at a time when the potential sales prices
are not attractive or are not reflective of the values which the Company
believes are inherent in the projects. Accordingly, while the Company believes
it can generate sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations through sales of
assets, any such sales could be at prices that would not maximize the Company's
value to its shareholders.

As of June 30, 2002, the Company owed $26,462,000 principal amount to LFC, which
is payable on December 31, 2004 and bears interest at 6% per year. This
obligation is reflected in the consolidated balance sheet, net of discount, at
$23,069,000 as of June 30, 2002. During the six months ended June 30, 2002, the
Company paid LFC interest of $787,000 relating to this note payable.

The Company has a $3,000,000 line of credit agreement with LFC, which was
amended effective March 1, 2002, to extend the maturity to February 28, 2007,
unless earlier terminated by LFC not later than November 15 of any year,
effective February 28 of the following year. Loans outstanding under this line
of credit bear interest at 10% per annum. At June 30, 2002, $650,000 was
outstanding under this facility.

Under a development agreement with a subsidiary of Leucadia, the Company is
responsible for the overall management of the San Elijo Hills project, including
arranging financing, coordinating marketing and sales activity, and acting as
construction manager. The development agreement provides that the Company will
receive certain fees in connection with the project. These fees consist of field
overhead and management service fees. These fees ("the development management
fees") are based on a fixed percentage, aggregating 5.72%, of gross revenues of
the project, less certain expenses allocated to the project, and are expected to
cover the Company's cost of providing services under the development agreement.
The Company also receives co-op marketing and advertising fees that are paid at
the time builders sell homes, are generally based upon a fixed percentage of the
homes' selling price and
9


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

are recorded as revenue when the home is sold. Field overhead, management
service and co-op marketing and advertising fees aggregated $2,449,000 and
$1,769,000 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively,
and $1,979,000 and $1,601,000 for the three month periods ended June 30, 2002
and 2001, respectively. The development agreement also provides for a success
fee to the Company out of the project's net cash flow, if any, as described
below, up to a maximum amount. Whether the success fee, if it is earned, will be
paid to the Company prior to the conclusion of the project will be at the
discretion of the project owner, a subsidiary of Leucadia. As more fully
described in the 2001 10-K, the development agreement is terminable by either
the project owner or the Company. In a termination, the Company would receive
the accrued but unpaid portion of the development management fees and the
success fee.

To determine "net cash flow" for the purposes of calculating the success fee,
all cash expenditures of the project will be deducted from total revenues of the
project. Examples of "expenditures" for these purposes include land development
costs, current period operating costs, and indebtedness, either collateralized
by the project (which cannot exceed $21,774,000, the balance at June 30, 2002,
including interest), or owed by the project's owner to Leucadia ($16,049,000 at
June 30, 2002) (collectively, "Indebtedness"). As a success fee, the Company is
entitled to receive payments out of net cash flow, if any, up to the aggregate
amount of the Indebtedness (as of the date the development agreement was
signed). The balance of the net cash flow, if any, will be paid to the Company
and the project owner in equal amounts. However, the amount of the success fee
cannot be more than 68% of net cash flow minus the amount of the Indebtedness.
The Company believes that any success fee that it may receive will be its
principal source of revenue earned through its participation in the San Elijo
Hills project pursuant to the development agreement. There can be no assurance,
however, that the Company will receive any success fee at all for this project.
As of June 30, 2002, the Company has not recognized any success fee income as
none would have been contractually earned.

The current schedule under the general development plan for Otay Ranch calls for
the conveyance of mitigation land from an identified initial area in which the
Company owns 437 acres. Some owners of developable land in the project do not
have enough mitigation land in the area of initial conveyance to enable them to
proceed with immediate development of their development land. Strict compliance
with the existing requirements for conveyance of mitigation land would have
created an immediate market for the Company's 437 acres of mitigation land in
the initial area of conveyance. However, the City of Chula Vista has not
strictly enforced the existing conveyance schedule, and proposed an amended
conveyance schedule that was adopted by the County of San Diego to increase the
amount of acreage that qualifies as mitigation land for purposes of initial
development. The Company has opposed this expansion.

On August 6, 2002, the Company reached conceptual agreement with the City of
Chula Vista and another party on settlement of the Company's objection to the
amendment of the conveyance schedule. Under the proposed settlement, among other
things, the Company would withdraw its objection to the revised conveyance
schedule and the City would agree to acquire the Company's 437 acres of
mitigation land by eminent domain proceedings. The amount that the Company could
ultimately receive for this property will be based upon appraisals to be
conducted and the result of the eminent domain proceedings, if commenced, cannot
be currently estimated and may take a long period of time to resolve. A final
agreement memorializing the settlement is expected to be approved by the City of
Chula Vista by August 27, 2002, although there can be no assurance that any such
agreement will in fact be signed. Failure to enter into the settlement or the
City's failure to conclude the eminent domain proceedings could have a material
adverse effect on the value of the Company's 437 acres of excess mitigation land
under the original conveyance schedule. No assurance can be given that the
settlement agreement will be entered into and that, if entered into, the eminent
domain proceedings will be successfully concluded.

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

The Company recently received a non-binding offer to purchase approximately
1,450 acres of developable and related mitigation land within Otay Ranch for a
sales price of $22,500,000. The Company is currently considering whether to
accept the offer. If the transaction were completed, this sale would result in a
pre-tax gain of approximately $18,000,000 for Otay Land Company, and the sales
proceeds would give the Otay Land Company the ability to completely satisfy the

of conditions, including execution of a contract of sale, obtaining necessary
regulatory approvals from the offeror and other matters. No assurance can be
given that even if the Company accepts the offer, that the requisite approvals
would be obtained and that the transaction would ultimately be consummated.

Results of Operations

Sales of real estate for the 2002 periods reflects the sale of 85 acres of
developable land at the Otay Ranch project referred to above. There were no
sales of real estate during the 2001 periods. Actual cost of sales recorded
during 2002 consists of land costs, closing costs and commissions.

Fee income related to the San Elijo Hills project was $2,449,000 and $1,769,000
for the six month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and
$1,979,000 and $1,601,000 for the three month periods ended June 30, 2002 and
2001, respectively. The increase in 2002 primarily reflects greater co-op
marketing and advertising fees relating to the sale of homes by builders.

Income from options on real estate properties reflects non-refundable fees
received to extend the closing date on the sale of the 85 acres of developable
land at the Otay Ranch project, which closed in June 2002. The Company received
$300,000 and $360,000 of such fees in the six month periods ended June 30, 2002
and 2001, respectively, and $120,000 and $180,000 in the three month periods
ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Interest expense reflects the interest due on indebtedness to LFC of $804,000
and $800,000 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001,
respectively, and $412,000 and $409,000 for the three month periods ended June
30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Interest expense also includes amortization of
debt discount related to the indebtedness to LFC of $561,000 and $498,000 for
the six month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and $286,000
and $254,000 for the three month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001,
respectively.

General and administrative expenses increased in the 2002 periods as compared to
the same periods in 2001 principally due to greater expenses related to
salaries, insurance, professional fees, and for the six month period, travel
expenses.

The increase in other income for the six month period ended June 30, 2002 as
compared to the same period in 2001 primarily relates to the gain on a sale of a
foreclosed property. In addition, the increase in the three and six month
periods of 2002 as compared to the same periods in 2001 reflects proceeds
received upon the dissolution of a partnership in excess of its subsidiary's
investment. In connection with this dissolution, the subsidiary is no longer
required to maintain a minimum net worth of $1,000,000 under an indemnity
agreement.

Income tax expense for the periods ended June 30, 2002 principally relates to
federal and state minimum taxes incurred. Income tax expense for periods ended
June 30, 2001 principally relates to state franchise taxes. The Company has not
recognized income tax benefits for its operating losses and deferred tax assets
due to the uncertainty of sufficient future taxable income that is required in
order to record such tax benefits.
