                  This statement amends and supplements the statement on
Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") by Best
Investments International Inc., a Panamanian corporation ("Best Investments"),
Best International Management Inc., a Panamanian corporation ("Best
Management"), Paradigm Information Corporation ("Paradigm"), and Thorand Trust
and Management Limited ("Thorand"), as previously amended by Amendments No. 1
and No. 2, with respect to beneficial ownership of Common Stock, par value $.01
per share, of Bluegreen Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation (formerly known
as Patten Corporation).

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of Issuer.

                  (a) As of the date on which this statement is executed, Best
Investments (and Best Management, Paradigm and Thorand by virtue of their
indirect beneficial ownership of Shares owned by Best Investments) beneficially
owns 629,670 Shares, constituting 3.1% of the Issuer's issued and outstanding
Shares (calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d)(1) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934), based upon an aggregate of 20,293,403 Shares issued and
outstanding (as stated in the Issuer's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
quarter, period ending December 28, 1997). Of the 629,670 Shares, 462,558
represent Shares currently issued and outstanding and 167,112 represent Shares
with respect to which there is a right of acquisition within 60 days within the
meaning of Rule 13d-3(d)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by virtue
of Best Investment's ownership of $1,377,000 aggregate principal amount of the
Issuer's 8-1/4% convertible subordinated debentures due 2012 (the "Debentures").
Based upon a recent telephone call to the Issuer, the Debentures are convertible
at any time into Shares at a price of $8.24 per Share.

                  (b) By virtue of Best Investments' direct ownership of 629,670
of the Shares and Best Management's right to vote and dispose of such Shares
under its investment management agreement with Best Investments, Best Management
and Best Investments have shared power to vote or direct the vote and shared
power to dispose or direct the disposition of such Shares. By virtue of its
status as a controlling shareholder of Best Management, Paradigm may be deemed
to share the power to vote or direct the vote and shared power to dispose or
direct the disposition of the Shares beneficially owned by Best Management. By
virtue of its status as trustee of a trust that owns a majority of the
outstanding capital stock of Paradigm, Thorand may be deemed to share the power
to vote or direct the vote and shared power to dispose or direct the disposition
of the Shares beneficially owned by Paradigm.

                  (c) During the period beginning February 2, 1998 (60 days
prior to the date of event which requires the filing of this statement) and
