ITEM 13.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------

(a)   Transactions with Management and Others
      ---------------------------------------

During the year ended December 31, 1994, BFC provided the following services for
and received reimbursements from the entities indicated, for the amounts
indicated:
                                                              Amount of Fee
                                                              or (Payment)
     Name and Relationship to BFC          Transaction        or (Accrual)
     ----------------------------          -----------        ------------
   I.R.E. Pension Investors, Ltd.       Property management    $ 70,104
     (Managing General Partner is       Administrative and
     subsidiary of BFC)                 accounting services    $ 51,582

(b)   Certain Business Relationships
      ------------------------------

Alan B. Levan, the President and a director of BFC, is also President and a
director of I.R.E. Properties, Inc., I.R.E. Realty Advisory Group, Inc., I.R.E.
Realty Advisors, Inc. and Florida Partners Corporation.  Mr. Levan is also
Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of BBC and BankAtlantic.  Mr.
Levan is also a shareholder of I.R.E. Properties, Inc. and I.R.E. Advisors, Inc.
and may be deemed controlling shareholder of BFC.  Mr. Levan, Earl Pertnoy and
Carl McKenry serve on the Board of Directors of managing general partners of
affiliated public limited partnerships.  John E. Abdo, a director of BFC, is
Vice Chairman of the Board of BankAtlantic.

Management believes that all transactions between BFC and its affiliates were on
terms at least as favorable as could have been obtained from unaffiliated third
parties.

In June 1994, an entity controlled BFC acquired from an independent third party
23.7 acres of unimproved land know as the "Cypress Creek" property located in
Fort Lauderdale, Florida for a purchase price of approximately $3.6 million.
BFC has agreed to pay John E. Abdo, a director of BFC, and certain of his
affiliates (the "Abdo Group") fifty percent of the profits (as defined), if any,
received on the sale of the property.  At December 31, 1994, BFC had a contract
to sell the Cypress Creek property for approximately $9.7 million.  Consummation
of the sale of the property pursuant to the contract is subject to a number of
conditions and there is no assurance that the property will be sold on that
basis.

In December 1994, an entity controlled by the BFC acquired from unaffiliated
seller 60.1 acres of unimproved land know as the "Centerport" property in
Pompano Beach, Florida for the purchase price of approximately $6.3 million. The
Abdo Group has an interest in the entity which holds this property entitling the
Abdo Group to a fifty percent interest in the profits of the entity after a
priority return in favor of BFC.
