                     NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


Note A - Interim Financial Information

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of BF Enterprises, Inc. 
(the "Company") and its subsidiaries have been prepared pursuant to the rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and, in
management's opinion, include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation
for the interim period reported.  Certain information and note disclosures
normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant
to SEC rules or regulations.  It is suggested that these financial statements
be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto
included in the Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1997 and
in the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 1997.


Note B - New Accounting Pronouncement

During the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" (SFAS
130).  SFAS 130 requires the reporting of income in a format that includes
income from operations added to unrealized gains or losses from investments
in marketable securities, which are accounted for as a separate component of
stockholders' equity.  Comprehensive income has been presented in the
accompanying Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity.


Note C - Earnings Per Share           

In March 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" (SFAS 128).  
SFAS 128 requires the disclosure of basic earnings per share and modifies
existing guidance for computing fully diluted earnings per share.  Under the new

Note D - Real Estate Rental Property

Real estate rental property is an office building and 16 acres of land in Tempe,
Arizona.  In 1995, the Company entered into a 10-year net lease with Bank One,
Arizona, NA, a subsidiary of Banc One Corporation.  The lease 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, 1997, contractual
rental revenues from the lease with Bank One are projected as
follows:
 

             1998                    $ 1,707,200
             1999                      1,826,000
             2000                      1,848,000
             2001                      1,936,000
             2002                      1,953,600
             2003 and after            4,285,600


On January 1, 1996, as required by generally accepted accounting principles, the
Company began amortizing on a straight-line basis (1) income from the new 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 E -  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 primarily of approximately 494 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 $13,755,000 at March 31, 1998 and $13,529,000 at

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

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

   Net income of $525,000 and $845,000 in the three months ended March 31, 1998
and 1997, respectively, included gains of $500,000 and $743,000 from sales of
property within the Company's Meadow Pointe project near Tampa, Florida.  The
Company sold 62 developed residential lots at Meadow Pointe during the three
months ended March 31, 1998, which represented a 22% decrease from the number of
lots sold during the same period of 1997.  As noted in the Company's 1997 Annual
Report, heavy rains in the Tampa area during the first few months of 1998
seriously hampered construction activity at Meadow Pointe.  This slowed
down the rate of sales of finished lots in the first quarter of 1998, and will
also hold down sales of lots in the second quarter.  Also, in the 1997 period,
the Company sold a two-acre church site and a one-acre day care center site at
Meadow Pointe.  There were no such sales in the 1998 period.

   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.  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.
 
   Interest and dividends from investments accounted for $56,000 and $64,000 of
revenues in the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.  The
decrease in 1998 was due to a decline in the amount of funds available for
investment.
 
   General and administrative expenses in the three months ended March 30, 1998
were $68,000 higher than in the comparable period in 1997, due principally to
higher employee compensation expenses and higher than anticipated legal fees.


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

   At March 31, 1998, the Company held $4,576,000 in cash, cash equivalents and
marketable securities, as compared to $2,190,000 for all short-term and 
long-term liabilities.

    From time to time the Company purchases shares of its common stock,
primarily in the open market (see Note F of Notes to Financial Statements).

                                       11

   The Company's business plan calls for substantial expenditures during the
next several years relating to the planned development of Meadow Pointe.  The
Company anticipates that these expenditures will be financed through bank
borrowings, the issuance of capital improvement revenue bonds by a community
development district, cash generated from operations and cash and cash
equivalents on hand.

   The statements in this Report on Form 10-QSB regarding Meadow Pointe property
sales, financing of Meadow Pointe expenditures and any other statements which
are not historical facts are forward looking statements.  Such statements
involve risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, competition,
general economic conditions, ability to manage and continue growth and other
factors detailed in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.  Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or
should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual outcomes may vary
materially from those indicated.

                         PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
 

Item 1.      Legal Proceedings
             -----------------

             In March 1998, an action was commenced in the Pasco County,
             Florida Circuit Court against a subsidiary of the Company and
             others relating to the Meadow Pointe development.  The Amended
             Complaint alleges that certain individuals who purchased homes
             assumed that a homeowners association had been established for the
             development.  Plaintiffs seek money damages from all defendants
             named in the Amended Complaint, except for the Company's 
             subsidiary.  The only relief sought against the Company's
             subsidiary is for an injunction compelling the subsidiary to
             operate and maintain architectural control at Meadow Pointe.  The
             Company has recently filed a motion to dismiss the claims against
             it.  The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to the
             claims made against its subsidiary, and it intends to vigorously
             contest the action.

                         

             
Item 6.      Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K.
             ---------------------------------

         (a)         Exhibits:  None.
                 
         (b)   Reports on Form 8-K.

               The registrant did not file any reports on Form 8-K during
the period covered by this report.
