                                 PART I


Item 1.   Business.
          --------

General
- -------

         BF Enterprises, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the
"Company") currently is engaged primarily in the real estate business,
including the development of a large tract of land, known as Meadow Pointe,
in suburban Tampa, Florida, and, as owner and landlord, leasing a 220,000
square foot building on 16 acres in Tempe, Arizona.  In addition, the Company
owns 22 acres of undeveloped land in suburban Nashville, Tennessee.

         At December 31, 1996, the Company's assets also included approximately
$5.1 million of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, which the
Company intends to use for general corporate purposes, including development of
the Meadow Pointe project and payment of principal and interest on subordinated
debentures and other obligations.


Real Estate
- -----------

         The Company's principal real estate assets consist of the following:

         Meadow Pointe.  As of February 28, 1997, the Company owned
approximately 559 acres, and held reversionary interests in an additional
eight acres, in a master planned unit development, encompassing approximately
1,724 acres, known as Meadow Pointe, in Pasco County, Florida. Since 1992,
the Company has sold 1,175 lots,consisting of approximately 248 acres, to
six homebuilders and 834 acres to the two community development districts
described below.  Meadow Pointe is located about 20 miles northeast of
downtown Tampa, on County Road 581.

         The Company commenced development of Meadow Pointe in 1992. Meadow
Pointe is being developed in accordance with a Development Order issued by
the Pasco County Board of County Commissioners, and is currently zoned for
approximately 2,750 single family homes, 1,500 multifamily residential units
and 61.5 acres of commercial facilities.

         Infrastructure construction at Meadow Pointe began in late February
1992, and the initial sales of residential lots to homebuilders closed in June
1992.  The Company sold 269 lots in 1996, 211 lots in 1995, 284 lots
in 1994, 267 lots in 1993 and 99 lots during the last seven months of 1992,
and sold 45 lots in the first two months of 1997, for prices ranging from
approximately $21,000 to $35,500.  The homebuilders currently are offering
finished houses at base prices ranging from approximately $90,000 to $180,000.
During the first two months of 1997, the Company also sold a two-acre church
site and a one-acre day care site.

         The Company is engaged in the development of residential lots and
multifamily and commercial parcels for sale to homebuilders and others.  The
Company does not expect it or any subsidiary or affiliate will engage in the
construction of houses on finished lots.  In March 1991, the Company entered
into a Development and Management Agreement (the "Development Agreement")
with Devco II Corporation ("Devco"), a Florida corporation whose principals
are experienced Tampa-area real estate developers. Under the Development
Agreement, Devco is responsible for planning and managing, and advising

                                 1

<PAGE>

the Company with respect to, the development of Meadow Pointe, including the
sale of single family lots and multifamily and commercial parcels.
 
         Two community development districts, both local units of Florida
special purpose government, have been formed in conjunction with the
development of Meadow Pointe.  These districts, whose jurisdiction is limited
to the Meadow Pointe project, together encompass all of the 1,724 acres within
the project. During the period February 1992 through August 1996, the two
community development districts issued an aggregate $57.1 million of capital
improvement revenue bonds, including $2.6 million issued in August 1996.  All
of these bonds were issued to finance the acquisition of property, and the
construction of roads, utilities, recreation facilities and other
infrastructure systems. These infrastructure improvements are essential to the
development of finished lots by the Company and the sale of those lots to
homebuilders.

         The Company currently anticipates the future issuance of
approximately $22 million of additional capital improvement revenue bonds to
finance the acquisition of property and the construction of roads, utilities
and other infrastructure systems within the project.  There can be no assurance
that additional bonds will be issued.

         In the first quarter of 1997, the Company listed for sale with a large
national real estate brokerage firm approximately 55 acres of commercial
property.  There can be no assurance that the brokerage firm will be able to
arrange for sales, on terms acceptable to the Company, of all or any part of
the property listed.
 
         Commercial Building in Tempe.  The Company owns a 220,000 square foot
commercial building, with approximately 850 parking spaces, on 16 acres in the
Hohokam Industrial Park in Tempe, Arizona, which is currently subject to a
10-year triple net lease to Bank One, Arizona, NA, a subsidiary of Banc One
Corporation.  The lease became effective March 1, 1995, and provided for the
tenant's phased take down of space during 1995; rental of the entire premises
commenced January 1, 1996.  The Company previously had executed a lease
amendment with the original tenant, under the terms of which that lease was
terminated 33 months before the original lease expiration date.  In 1995, the
Company's rental income from the Tempe building, which had been $505,000
annually under the original lease, was reduced to $349,000, exclusive of
certain costs of approximately $153,000 related to the new lease arrangements.
On January 1, 1996, when Bank One began paying rent on the entire building,
base rents due under the new lease increased to:  $1,452,000 in 1996;
$1,628,000 in 1997; $1,707,200 in 1998; $1,826,000 in 1999; $1,848,000 in 2000;
$1,936,000 in 2001; $1,953,600 in 2002; $1,975,600 in 2003; $1,980,000 in 2004;
and $330,000 for the two months ending February 28, 2005, when the original
lease term ends.  During that period, the Company will amortize income from the
lease on a straight-line basis, as required by generally accepted accounting
principles.  Accordingly, in 1996 the Company reported - and in each of
the remaining eight years of the original lease term will report - rental
income from the lease of $1,815,000, the average rental during the period
January 1, 1996 through February 28, 2005.  The lease also provides for two
five-year renewal periods, with base rents equal to the market rental rates
then in effect in the metropolitan Phoenix area.

         Other Real Estate.  The Company also owns 22 acres of undeveloped land
in suburban Nashville, Tennessee which is zoned commercial.





                                     2

Foreign Operations
- ------------------

         The Company has no foreign operations and has no material assets in
foreign countries.  A wholly owned foreign subsidiary holds 22% of the common
stock of Trout Creek Development Corporation, a Delaware corporation, the 
Company's development subsidiary.

Employees
- ---------

         Currently, the Company has eight employees.

Competition
- -----------

         The Company competes with many other firms and individuals who develop
real estate or hold undeveloped property for lease or sale or developed
property for lease or sale.  While competitive conditions vary substantially,
depending upon the geographical area and the type of real estate asset, within
a particular market the most significant competitive factors generally are
location, price and zoning.

         Development of the Meadow Pointe project, the Company's principal
asset, will take several years and is dependent upon, among other things, the
availability of future financing on terms satisfactory to the Company, the
strength of the general economy in the Tampa area and nationally, residential
mortgage interest rates, competitive residential developments serving the
same group of home buyers and other factors related to the local Tampa real
estate market.  During 1996, construction began at several  other residential
projects in the same market area as Meadow Pointe, along or near County Road
581.  These new projects may have an adverse impact on the rate of lot sales at
Meadow Pointe or lot prices, or both.

         It is expected that the Tempe, Arizona property will remain under
lease with the existing tenant until at least March 2005.  The Company expects
to sell or develop its Nashville property when local conditions warrant.


Other Information
- -----------------

         The Company's current business constitutes a single business segment.
Financial and other information relating to the Company's operations by
industry segments for the past three years is, therefore, omitted.  See the
Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

         Except for the lease of the 220,000 square foot Tempe commercial
building to one tenant, the Company's business is not dependent upon a single
customer or a limited number of customers, and is not seasonal.  The Company
does not utilize raw materials, has no order backlog, and no material portion
of its business is subject to government contracts.  The Company has no
trademarks, service marks or tradenames other than Meadow Pointe.  The Company
does not engage in or make any expenditures with respect to research and
development activities, and the Company's business is not materially affected
by compliance with federal, state or local provisions regulating the discharge
of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to the protection of
the environment.

Item 2.  Properties.
         ----------

         The Company leases its headquarters office space, consisting of

                                      3

<PAGE>


approximately of 2,241 square feet, in the Shell Building at 100 Bush Street,
in San Francisco, under a lease expiring January 31, 1999, with a three-year
renewal option.  The Company believes this office space is adequate for its
current needs.

Item 3.  Legal Proceedings.
         -----------------

         In February 1996, the Company's predecessor, on behalf of the Company,
filed a complaint against the California Franchise Tax Board (the "FTB") for a
refund of assessed income taxes and accrued interest for the year ended
December 31, 1981.  The suit arises out of the FTB's assessment for 1981 taxes,
based on its contention that a loss attributable to the 1981 acquisition by the
Company's predecessor of a warrant for the purchase of its common stock should
have been treated as a business deduction rather than a non-business deduction.
The Company appealed the FTB's assessment to the California State Board of
Equalization, which denied the appeal in July 1994.  In March 1995, the Company
made payment to the FTB of the assessment and accrued interest and filed a
request for refund in the full amount of that payment.  The Company's request
for refund was denied and the action described above was filed.  The Court has
set the matter for trial in June 1997.  The amount of the Company's payment to
the FTB, after reimbursement by the Company's predecessor of the related
federal and state income tax benefits, was approximately $400,000.

         In September 1995, a subsidiary of the Company  was served as a
defendant in an action filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern
District of Pennsylvania.  The suit arises out of the death of a person who
fell from a mobile passenger lounge at the Mexico City International Airport in
1993.  The plaintiff alleges, among other things, that the mobile lounge was
manufactured and sold by a former subsidiary of the Company's predecessor. That
former subsidiary sold all of its assets and business to a third party in 1975.
While this lawsuit is in its preliminary stages, the Company believes that it
has good and sufficient defenses and it will defend the suit vigorously.

         The Company is not a party to any other pending legal proceedings
except routine litigation incidental to its business.


Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
         ---------------------------------------------------

         No matter was submitted to a vote of the Company's security holders
during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by this report.

Item 7.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
         -------------------------------------------------
         Condition and Results of Operations. 
         -----------------------------------


Results of Operations for the Three Years Ended December 31, 1996
- -----------------------------------------------------------------

         During the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, the Company
realized net income of $2,137,000, $445,000 and $1,608,000, respectively.  Net
income was substantially higher in 1996 than in the previous two years due
principally to a significant increase in rental income from the Company's
Tempe, Arizona property.  The reduction in net income from 1994 to 1995 was
primarily the result of a decrease in revenues from lot sales at the Company's
Meadow Pointe project, near Tampa, Florida, a reduction in rental income from
the Company's Tempe property and costs incurred in connection with a new lease
of that property.

         Results for the years 1996, 1995 and 1994 included gains from sales of
lots within Meadow Pointe of $1,575,000, $1,415,000 and $2,375,000,
respectively, on sales to homebuilders of 269 lots in 1996, 211 lots in 1995
and 284 lots in 1994.  The Company's reported gains from property sales at
Meadow Pointe are based in part upon estimates of the total revenues and costs
to be derived by the Company over the life of the project (see Note B of Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements).  The Company periodically reviews these
estimates and makes cumulative adjustments to reflect any revised estimates.
Property sales at Meadow Pointe are dependent upon, among other things, the
strength of the general economy in the Tampa area, residential mortgage
interest rates, competitive residential developments serving the same group of
home buyers and other factors related to the local Tampa real estate market.

         During 1995, real estate sales included net revenue of $756,000 from
the sale of a commercial building and underlying property in Edina, Minnesota,
in addition to Meadow Pointe residential lot sales.  The cost of real estate
sold attributable to the Edina property was $792,000.  Results for 1995 also
included aggregate revenue and cost of $216,000 and $205,000, respectively,
for lots in a residential development adjacent to Meadow Pointe and a model
home within the Meadow Pointe project.  There were no such revenues or costs
in 1996 or 1994.
 
         Real estate leasing income and mortgage loan interest in 1996 was more
than four times what it was in 1995 and almost three times greater than in
1994, primarily as a result of the execution of a new lease of the Company's
Tempe property (see Note G of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).
Due to this change, annual rental income from the Tempe property increased to
$1,815,000 in 1996, from $349,000 and $505,000 in 1995 and 1994, respectively.
The Company incurred costs during 1995 for property taxes, insurance and
certain other operating expenses related to the new lease of the Tempe property
of $153,000 which it did not incur in prior years and has not incurred
subsequently.  These costs were included in operating expenses during 1995 and
accounted for operating expenses that were almost three times their 1996 and
1994 levels.  Depreciation and amortization expense increased in 1995 and 1996
due to the amortization of a commission related to the new lease, which
commenced on March 1, 1995.

         Interest and dividends from investments in the years 1996, 1995 and
1994 has varied with the amount of funds available for investment.

         General and administrative expenses charged against income were
$168,000 greater in 1996 than in 1995, and $256,000 less in 1995 than in 1994.
The higher expenses in 1996 and 1994 were due principally to higher employee
compensation and benefits expenses, including a January 1995 restricted stock
grant to five officers of the Company (see Note M of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements) which was taken into expense in 1994.  Employee
compensation expenses capitalized against Tampa, Florida real estate in the
years ended December 1996, 1995 and 1994 were $108,000, $125,000 and $200,000,
respectively, representing 12%, 17% and 19%, respectively, of total
compensation for those years.  The Company capitalizes a portion of the
compensation of certain employees who devote a significant portion of their
time to the Meadow Pointe project.

         In 1996 the Company realized gains of $94,000 from sales of a
marketable equity security.  The Company had losses of $8,000 and $42,000 in
1995 and 1994, respectively, from sales of government securities in periods of
rising interest rates.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

         During the year ended December 31, 1996, cash and cash equivalents
increased by $430,000.  On July 3, 1996 the Company received $610,000 from the
payoff of a note secured by a commercial building and underlying land in Edina,
Minnesota.  The Company received the note in connection with the sale of this
property in July 1995 (see above).  In addition, in August 1996 the Company
received $675,000 from the sale of a marketable equity security. At
December 31, 1996, the Company held $5,138,000 in cash, cash equivalents and
marketable securities as compared to $2,946,000 for all short-term and
long-term liabilities. From time to time, the Company purchases shares of its
common stock in the open market (see Note L of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements).

         The Company's business plan calls for substantial expenditures during
the next several years relating to the planned development of Meadow Pointe.
During the period February 1992 through December 1996, two community
development districts encompassing the Meadow Pointe project issued
approximately $57.1 million of capital improvement revenue bonds. The Company
currently anticipates the future issuance of approximately $22 million
of additional bonds by one of those community development districts.  The
proceeds of such bonds have been and are expected to be used to construct
infrastructure improvements necessary for the development and sale of

<PAGE>

residential lots, and multifamily and commercial parcels, in Meadow Pointe
(see Note H of Notes to Financial Statements).  There can be no assurance that
any additional bonds will be issued.  At December 31, 1996, real estate
inventory held for current sale and land held for future development was
$1,733,000 greater than at December 31, 1995, as a result of the capitalization
of various costs including bond assessments by the two community development
districts.

         The Company intends to pay for its future expenditures at Meadow
Pointe and its other operating expenses (including those related to debenture
payments) with (i) cash generated from sales of property within Meadow Pointe
and its other operations, and (ii) cash and cash equivalents on hand.  There
can be no assurance that the Company will generate sufficient cash or have
sufficient cash and cash equivalents on hand to cover such expenditures.
Moreover, there can be no assurance that the amounts currently projected will
be sufficient to develop the long-term Meadow Pointe project.

                     REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS






To the Stockholders and the Board of
Directors of BF Enterprises, Inc.:


We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position
of BF Enterprises, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries as of
December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related consolidated statements of
income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years
in the period ended December 31, 1996.  These consolidated financial statements
and the schedules referred to below are the responsibility of the Company's
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements and schedules based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and the disclosures in the financial statements.  An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of BF
Enterprises, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.  The accompanying schedules
listed in the index to the financial statements and schedules are presented for
purposes of complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and
are not a required part of the basic consolidated financial statements.  This
information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit
of the basic consolidated financial statements and, in our opinion, fairly
state, in all material respects, the financial data required to be set forth 
therein in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as
a whole.

                        BF ENTERPRISES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                      NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note A - Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned.  All significant intercompany
balances have been eliminated.

Note B - Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported results of operations during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.

Note C - New Accounting Pronouncements

In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based
Compensation" (SFAS 123).  SFAS 123 calls for, but does not require, a fair
value approach to recognizing compensation costs associated with the granting
of stock options, among other types of stock based compensation.  For companies
electing not to apply such accounting, certain disclosures are required. The
Company adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 in 1996 (See Note M).

In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" (SFAS 121).  The
Company adopted SFAS 121 in the fourth quarter of 1995.  SFAS 121 requires
that long-lived assets be carried at the lower of cost or estimated
fair value and that an evaluation of an individual property for
possible impairment must be performed whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that an impairment may have occurred (See Note H).
 
Note D - Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include short-term investments with original
maturities of 90 days or less, such as treasury bills and notes, government
agency bills and notes, bank deposits, time deposits, certificates of deposit,
repurchase agreements, bankers' acceptances, and commercial paper, all of which
are carried at cost, which approximated market value.

Note E - Marketable Securities

The amortized cost and fair values of marketable securities available for sale
as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 were as follows (in thousands):

Unrealized gains and losses are presented in stockholders' equity, net of 
related taxes. 

Proceeds from sales of securities available for sale were $675,000,
$981,000 and $3,168,000 in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  A gross gain of
$94,000 and gross losses of $8,000 and $42,000 were realized on those sales in
1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  Gains and losses are computed using the
specific identification method.

Note F - Mortgage Loans

At December 31, 1996, the principal balance of the Company's only mortgage loan
was $100,000, and that principal is due on August 31, 1997.  At December 31,
1995, the principal balance of mortgage loans was $732,000, net of an
unamortized discount of $48,000.

Note G - Real Estate Rental Property

Real estate rental property is an office and manufacturing building and
underlying 16 acres of land in Tempe, Arizona.  In January 1995, the Company
executed a lease amendment with the original tenant of this property pursuant
to which the tenant vacated portions of the building from time to time and the
lease terminated in its entirety on June 30, 1995.  In March 1995, the Company
entered into a new 10-year net lease with Bank One, Arizona, NA, a subsidiary
of Banc One Corporation, as the tenant of the entire property.  That lease
became effective March 1, 1995, and provided for the phased occupancy and
rental of space by Bank One during 1995, with rental of the entire premises
commencing January 1, 1996. At December 31, 1996, contractual rental revenues
from the lease with Bank One are projected as follows:
 

              1997                      $ 1,628,000
              1998                        1,707,200
              1999                        1,826,000
              2000                        1,848,000
              2001                        1,936,000
              2002 and after              6,239,200


On January 1, 1996, as required by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,
the Company began amortizing on a straight-line basis (1) income from the lease
with Bank One, resulting in annual real estate leasing income of $1,815,000 for
the period ending February 28, 2005, and (2) a related $423,000 lease
commission, with annual amortization expense of $46,000 over the same period.

Note H - Real Estate Inventory Held for Current Sale and
            Land Held for Future Development

Real estate inventory held for current sale and land held for future
development consists of approximately 567 acres in the Company's
master-planned, mixed use development known as Meadow Pointe near Tampa,
Florida.  The parcels within this project are in various stages of development.
Parcels on which the Company has completed substantially all of its development
activities are considered to be held for current sale.  Parcels on which
development is not yet complete are considered to be held for future
development. These assets were carried at a cost of $11,179,000 at December 31,
1996 and $9,446,000 at December 31, 1995, which the Company believes was less
than their fair value.  Due to uncertainties inherent in the valuation process
and in the economy, it is reasonably possible that the actual sales value of
the Company's inventory of land held for current sale and future development
could be materially different than current expectations.

Two community development districts, both local units of Florida special
purpose government, have been formed in conjunction with the development of
Meadow Pointe.  These districts, whose jurisdiction is limited to the Meadow
Pointe project, together encompass all of the 1,724 acres within the project.
During the period February 1992 through August 1996, the two community
development districts issued an aggregate $57.1 million of capital improvement
revenue bonds, including $2.6 million issued in 1996.  All of these bonds were
issued to finance the acquisition of property, and the construction of roads,
utilities, recreation facilities and other infrastructure systems.

Approximately $22 million of the capital improvement revenue bonds issued by
the districts are payable in equal annual installments of principal and
interest over 20 years.  The balance of the bonds are payable over a fixed
term, but must be prepaid in part each time a developed lot or other land is
sold.  Annual bond installments are paid by special assessments levied against
individual parcels of land within the district areas.  These special
assessments are collected either directly by the districts or by the Pasco
County Assessor, in the same manner as county property taxes, on behalf of the
districts.  The outstanding bonds are secured by a first lien upon and pledge
of the special assessments.  If any parcel owner, including the Company's
subsidiaries (until such time as their land has been developed and sold or
otherwise transferred), but excluding the districts and the county, fails to
make payment of an assessment, then such owner's parcel will become subject to
a lien which may ultimately be foreclosed for nonpayment.  As of December 31,
1996, parcels of land owned by the Company's subsidiaries were subject to bonds
in the principal amount of approximately $29 million.


                                      17
<PAGE>

The two community development districts have purchased land from one of the
Company's subsidiaries for use in the construction of roads, ponds,
conservation areas and neighborhood parks.  The Company has accounted for
payments it received from the two districts in connection with those
transactions, as of the date received, as reductions in the carrying value
of all property to be developed within the district areas.

Note I - Subordinated Debentures

At December 31, 1996, $805,000 of the Company's Floating Rate Subordinated
Debentures due December 31, 1999 was outstanding.  The interest rate for the
floating rate debentures is variable and equal to 1% above the average monthly
yield on three-month United States Treasury bills, subject to a minimum of 7%
per annum and a maximum of 10% per annum. The average interest rate for these
debentures was 7% for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994.

In connection with a corporate reorganization in June 1987, pursuant to which
the Company took transfer of certain businesses, the Company also assumed
related liabilities, including the obligations with respect to five series of
subordinated debentures.  At December 31, 1996, the $1,755,000 of these
debentures still due and outstanding, all of which have matured, was
included in payables and accrued liabilities.  At December 31, 1996, the
Company had outstanding a $1,700,000 letter of credit for the benefit of the
debenture trustee in connection with principal payments on two series, the
Series D and E debentures.  This letter of credit secures the Company's
obligations to pay the outstanding principal of, and accrued interest on,
those debentures upon presentment thereof in accordance with the indenture
governing the debentures.

Note J - Income Taxes

As of December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Company had recorded the following net
deferred tax liabilities.  Amounts at December 31, 1995 have been adjusted to
conform to the Company's 1995 federal income tax returns as filed in September
1996.

The Company did not include a provision for federal income taxes in the
consolidated statement of operations for the years ended December 31, 1996,
1995 and 1994 because it realized the benefits, respectively, of $961,000,
$308,000 and $624,000 of deferred tax assets. The $32,000 provision for income
taxes for the year ended December 31, 1995, consists of state income taxes
payable.

Note K - Rental Commitments

Rental expense, primarily for office premises, amounted to $56,000, $53,000 and
$89,000 for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
As of December 31, 1996, the approximate minimum rental commitments under the
Company's office lease, which expires on January 31, 1999, were $47,000 in each
of 1997 and 1998 and $4,000 in 1999.

Note L - Stockholders' Equity

From time to time, the Company purchases shares of its common stock in the
open market.  In 1996, 1995 and 1994 the Company purchased shares of its common

                                   19
<PAGE>

stock, primarily in open market transactions: 19,300 shares for $120,000 in
1996, 56,200 shares for $301,000 in 1995 and 52,460 shares for $209,000 in 1994.

Note M - Stock Plans

The Company's 1993 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan (the "1993 Employee Plan")
provides for the granting of non-qualified stock options, incentive stock
options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, stock purchase rights and
performance shares to employees, who may also be directors, and consultants of
the Company.  The Company's Amended and Restated Management Incentive
Compensation Plan (the "Original Employee Plan") governs certain non-qualified
stock options issued to officers and employees prior to adoption of the 1993
Employee Plan; no new grants of options or other stock rights may be made under
the Original Employee Plan.   The Company's 1994 Stock Option Plan for Outside
Directors (the "1994 Director Plan"), provides for the grant of stock options
to those of its directors who are not employed by the Company (the "Outside
Directors").

The 1993 Employee Plan and the Original Employee Plan are administered by the
Board of Directors or a committee (the "Committee"), composed of not less than
two directors who are disinterested persons (as that term is defined in Rule
16b-3, promulgated pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934).  The
Committee selects participants in the 1993 Employee Plan and determines the
number of shares subject to the options and other stock rights granted pursuant
to that plan, and the terms of those options and other rights.  As of
March 1, 1997, there were 37,500 shares of the Company's common stock available
for grant under the 1993 Employee Plan.

The 1994 Director Plan replaced the Company's Non-Employee Directors' Option
Plan (the "Original Director Plan").  Under the Original Director Plan, each
Outside Director was automatically granted, upon election as a director, a
non-qualified option for 5,000 shares of the Company's common stock.  All of
the options which were granted under the Original Director Plan have been
exercised.  No new options may be granted under the Original Director Plan.

Pursuant to the 1994 Director Plan, any person who becomes an Outside Director
is to be granted a non-qualified option to purchase 5,000 shares of the
Company's common stock, the grant to be effective on the date of his or her
election or appointment as an Outside Director, and each Outside Director who
has served as such for at least one year will also receive an option to
purchase 2,000 shares of the Company's common stock on the date of each annual
meeting of stockholders at which he or she is reelected a director.  In
accordance with the 1994 Director Plan, two Outside Directors were granted
options for 5,000 shares each upon approval of the plan in May 1994 and
subsequently received options for 2,000 each on the dates of the annual
meetings of stockholders in May 1995 and May 1996.   Another Outside
Director was granted, at the time of his appointment in October 1996, a
non-qualified option to purchase 5,000 shares of the Company's common stock.
All options granted pursuant to the 1994 Director Plan have a per share
exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company's common stock on
the grant date.  As of March 1, 1997, there were 77,000 shares of the Company's
common stock available for grant under the 1994 Director Plan.

Had compensation costs for these plans been determined consistent with the
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation" (SFAS 123), the Company's net income and earnings


 
                                  20

</TABLE>

Because the SFAS 123 method of accounting has not been applied to options
granted prior to January 1, 1995, the resulting pro forma compensation cost
may not be representative of that to be expected in future years.

As of December 31, 1996, 114,500 shares were available for future grant and
687,500 of the stock options were exercisable.  The options expire 10 years
following their grant.  Options granted pursuant to the 1994 Director Plan vest
at the rate of 25% per year, for each of the first four years.  Options granted
under the 1993 Employee Plan are fully vested at the date of grant.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated as of the date of grant using
the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average
assumptions used for grants in 1996 and 1995:

<TABLE>

                                                  1996               1995

Risk free interest rate                           6.4%               5.8%
Expected dividend yield                           none               none
Expected life of options                         5 years           5 years
Expected volatility                                5%                 5%

</TABLE>

Based on these assumptions, the weighted average fair value of options granted
would be calculated as $1.68 in 1996 and $1.20 in 1995.  The SFAS 123
adjustments for 1995 and 1996 appearing above are the product of these weighted
average fair values and the number of options granted in each of the two years,
after giving effect to the capitalization of a portion of these compensation
costs to the Meadow Pointe project.

In January 1995, five officers of the Company were issued an aggregate of
41,000 shares of restricted stock pursuant to the 1993 Employee Plan.

Note N - Income Per Share

Income per share for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 has been
computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common
stock equivalents outstanding.  The weighted average number of common shares
and common stock equivalents outstanding for the years ended December 31, 1996,
1995 and 1994 was 4,042,000, 4,029,000 and 3,947,000, respectively.
