Effective June 6 2002, the Board of Directors of Financial Federal Corporation
("the Company") dismissed Arthur Andersen LLP ("Andersen") as the Company's
independent auditors and appointed KPMG LLP as the Company's new independent
auditors.  The financial statements included in Item 1 herein have been
reviewed by Andersen.  Historically, it had not been the practice of the
Company to obtain or Andersen to issue accountants' review reports in
connection with such reviews.  Accordingly, an accountants' review report was
not issued at the time of completion of the aforementioned review.  The audit
team that performed the review is no longer employed by Andersen and,
therefore, it is not possible for the Company to obtain such report.

PART I

Item 2

                   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                     OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of three months ended April 30, 2002 to three months ended April
30 2001
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finance income decreased by 2% to $34.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal
2002 from $34.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2001.  The decrease was
primarily due to the decrease in the net yield of the Company's finance
receivables as a result of the sharp decline in market interest rates since
May 2001 and, to a lesser extent, an increase in the level of non-performing
assets in the third quarter of fiscal 2002 from the third quarter of fiscal
2001, offset by the 11%, or $144 million, increase in average finance
receivables outstanding to $1.407 billion in the third quarter of fiscal 2002
from $1.263 billion in the third quarter of fiscal 2001.  Finance receivables
booked in the third quarter of fiscal 2002 and fiscal 2001 were $208 million
and $190 million, respectively.

Interest expense, incurred on borrowings used to fund finance receivables,
decreased by 25% to $11.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2002 from
$15.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2001.  The decrease was primarily
due to the decrease in the Company's weighted average cost of borrowed funds
as a result of significantly lower average market interest rates in the third
quarter of fiscal 2002 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2001,
partially offset by the 10% increase in average debt outstanding in the third
quarter of fiscal 2002 from the third quarter of fiscal 2001.

Net finance income before provision for possible losses on finance receivables
increased by 18% to $22.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2002 from
$18.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2001.  Net finance income before
provision for possible losses expressed as an annualized percentage of average
finance receivables outstanding ("net interest margin") increased to 6.5% in
the third quarter of fiscal 2002 from 6.2% in the third quarter of fiscal
2001. The increase was primarily due to the decline in market interest rates
from May 2001 since the Company's debt reprices faster than the Company's
finance receivables.

The provision for possible losses on finance receivables increased by 8% to
$1.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2002 from $1.3 million in the
third quarter of fiscal 2001.  The provision for possible losses is determined
by the amount required to increase the allowance for possible losses to a
level that management considers appropriate.  The allowance for possible losses
was $23.6 million, or 1.66% of finance receivables at April 30, 2002, compared
to $21.9 million, or 1.66% of finance receivables, at July 31, 2001 and $21.2
million, or 1.66% of finance receivables, at April 30, 2001.  The allowance is
periodically reviewed by the Company's management and is estimated based on
total finance receivables, net credit losses incurred and management's current
assessments of the risks inherent in the Company's finance receivables from
national and regional economic conditions, industry conditions,

                                      7


concentrations, the financial condition of counterparties and other factors.
The level of the allowance may need to be increased due to unexpected changes
in these factors.

Net credit losses (write-downs of finance receivables less subsequent
recoveries) were $841,000 and $586,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2002 and
2001, respectively.  Net credit losses expressed as an annualized percentage
of average finance receivables outstanding ("loss ratio") were 0.24% and 0.19%
in the third quarter of fiscal 2002 and 2001, respectively.  Non-performing
assets (includes finance receivables classified as non-accrual and assets
received to satisfy finance receivables) were $49.5 million, or 3.5% of total
finance receivables, at April 30, 2002, compared to $34.4 million, or 2.6% of
total finance receivables, at July 31, 2001 and $28.8 million, or 2.2% of
total finance receivables, at April 30, 2001.  Delinquent finance receivables
(transactions with a contractual payment more than 60 days past due) were
$42.3 million, or 3.0% of total finance receivables, at April 30, 2002,
compared to $24.8 million, or 1.9% of total finance receivables, at July 31,
2001 and $29.4 million, or 2.3% of total finance receivables, at April 30,
2001.  Although the Company's non-performing assets, delinquent finance
receivables and net credit losses have increased, and could continue to
increase, their current and expected levels are below historical and current
industry standards.

Salaries and other expenses increased by 20% to $5.4 million in the third
quarter of fiscal 2002 from $4.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2001.
The increase was primarily due to the increase in the number of marketing and
administrative employees, salary increases and additional costs incurred
from the increased number of problem accounts in the third quarter of fiscal
2002 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2001.

Net earnings increased by 17% to $9.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal
2002 from $8.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2001.  Diluted earnings
per share increased by 14% to $0.50 per share in the third quarter of fiscal
2002 from $0.44 per share in the third quarter of fiscal 2001 and basic
earnings per share increased by 14% to $0.56 per share in the third quarter of
fiscal 2002 from $0.49 per share in the third quarter of fiscal 2001.  The
percentage increase in diluted earnings per share was lower than the
percentage increase in net earnings primarily due to the effect that the
convertible notes had on the diluted earnings per share calculation and the
25% increase in the average price of the Company's common stock in the third
quarter of fiscal 2002 from the third quarter of fiscal 2001.  The percentage
increase in basic earnings per share was lower than the percentage increase in
net earnings primarily due to rounding and an increase in the number of shares
of the Company's outstanding common stock in the third quarter of fiscal 2002
from the third quarter of fiscal 2001 from stock option exercises.


Comparison of nine months ended April 30, 2002 to nine months ended April 30,
2001
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finance income increased by 1% to $103.4 million in the first nine months of
fiscal 2002 from $102.7 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2001.  The
increase was primarily due to the 13%, or $152 million, increase in average
finance receivables outstanding to $1.366 billion in the first nine months of
fiscal 2002 from $1.214 billion in the first nine months of fiscal 2001 offset
by the decrease in the net yield of the Company's finance receivables as a
result of the sharp decline in market interest rates since January 2001 and,
to a lesser extent, an increase in the level of non-performing assets in the
first nine months of fiscal 2002 from the first nine months of fiscal 2001.
Finance receivables booked in the first nine months of fiscal 2002 and fiscal
2001 were $605 million and $533 million, respectively.

Interest expense, incurred on borrowings used to fund finance receivables,
decreased by 21% to $38.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2002 from
$49.0 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2001.  The decrease was
primarily due to the decrease in the Company's weighted average cost of
borrowed funds as a result of significantly lower average market interest
rates in the first nine months of fiscal 2002 as compared to the first nine
months of fiscal 2001, partially offset by the 11% increase in average debt
outstanding in the first nine months of fiscal 2002 from the first nine months
of fiscal 2001.

Net finance income before provision for possible losses on finance receivables
increased by 21% to $64.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2002 from
$53.7 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2001.  The net interest
margin was 6.4% in the first nine months of fiscal 2002 compared to 5.9% in
the first nine months of fiscal 2001.  The increase was primarily due to the
decline in market interest rates from January 2001 since the Company's debt
reprices faster than the Company's finance receivables.

The provision for possible losses on finance receivables increased by 13% to
$4.0 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2002 from $3.6 million in the
first nine months of fiscal 2001.  Net credit losses were $2.4 million and

                                      8


$1.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2002 and 2001, respectively.
The loss ratio was 0.23% and 0.16% in the first nine months of fiscal 2002 and
2001, respectively.

Salaries and other expenses increased by 25% to $15.6 million in the first
nine months of fiscal 2002 from $12.5 million in the first nine months of
fiscal 2001.  The increase was primarily due to the increase in the number of
marketing and administrative employees, salary increases and additional costs
incurred from the increased number of problem accounts in the first nine
months of fiscal 2002 as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2001.

Net earnings increased by 19% to $27.5 million in the first nine months of
fiscal 2002 from $23.0 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2001.
Diluted earnings per share increased by 16% to $1.48 per share in the first
nine months of fiscal 2002 from $1.28 per share in the first nine months of
fiscal 2001 and basic earnings per share increased by 12% to $1.65 per share
in the first nine months of fiscal 2002 from $1.47 per share in the first nine
months of fiscal 2001.  The percentage increase in diluted earnings per share
was lower than the percentage increase in net earnings primarily due to the
effect that the convertible notes had on the diluted earnings per share
calculation and the 22% increase in the average price of the Company's common
stock in the first nine months of fiscal 2002 from the first nine months of
fiscal 2001.  The percentage increase in basic earnings per share was lower
than the percentage increase in net earnings primarily due to the increase in
the number of outstanding shares of the Company's common stock resulting from
the exercise of 1.6 million warrants in the second quarter of fiscal 2001.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's operations and growth are dependent upon the continued
availability of funds that are needed to originate or acquire finance
receivables and to purchase portfolios of finance receivables.  The Company
may obtain required funds from a variety of sources, including operating cash
flow, dealer placed and directly issued commercial paper, borrowings under
committed unsecured revolving credit facilities, private and public issuances
of term debt, conduit and term securitizations of finance receivables and
sales of common and preferred equity.  Management believes that the Company's
sources of liquidity are well diversified.  As such, the Company is not
dependent on any single funding source or on any single credit provider.
Management believes, but cannot assure, that sufficient liquidity is available
to the Company to support its future operations and growth.

The Company's commercial paper is rated "F-2" by Fitch, Inc. ("Fitch") and the
Company's senior term notes are rated "BBB" by Fitch.  These credit ratings
provide the Company with greater access to capital markets.  Fitch has
recently reported that its ratings outlook for the Company is stable.

The Company issues investment grade commercial paper directly and through a
$350.0 million program with recognized dealers.  Commercial paper outstanding
at April 30, 2002 was $205.7 million.  The Company's commercial paper is
unsecured and matures within 270 days.  Increases in commercial paper are
generally offset by decreases in bank and other borrowings, and vice versa.
The Company's current policy is to maintain committed revolving credit
facilities from banks so that the aggregate amount available thereunder
exceeds commercial paper outstanding.

At April 30, 2002, the Company had $370.0 million of committed unsecured
revolving credit facilities with various banks including $195.0 million that
expire after one year and $175.0 million that expire within one year.  At
April 30, 2002, the Company had $78.0 million of borrowings outstanding under
credit facilities expiring after one year and $28.0 million of borrowings
outstanding under credit facilities expiring within one year.

In December 2001, the Company completed its second asset securitization
financing transaction obtaining proceeds of $100.0 million.  The Company used
the proceeds to repay borrowings under bank credit facilities.  At April 30,
2002, the Company had $225.0 million of asset securitization financings
accounted for as secured borrowings that were included in senior debt in the
accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet.  The terms of both of the Company's
securitizations provide for committed revolving financing for a one year term
that, if not renewed prior to the current expiration date in December 2002,
can be converted into term debt at the Company's option.

In September 2001, the Company repaid $55.0 million of term debt at maturity
with the proceeds from additional borrowings under bank credit facilities.
