                    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 September 30, 1997.

Note B - New Accounting Pronouncement

In the first quarter of 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
standard, basic earnings per share is computed as earnings divided by weighted
average shares, excluding the dilutive effects of stock options and other
potentially dilutive securities.  Diluted earnings per share give effect to
such dilutive securities.  The Company adopted the disclosure requirements of
SFAS 128 in

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

                     NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


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 450 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 $15,084,000 at September 30, 1998 and $13,529,000 at
December 31, 1997, which the Company believes was less than their fair value.

                     NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)



It is the Company's policy to review and update its projections on the Meadow
Pointe project on a regular basis.  Periodic cumulative adjustments to cost of
sales are made to reflect the results of these reviews.  As a result, gross
margins and related percentages, derived on a period to period basis, may not
be directly comparable.

Note F - Stockholders' Equity

From time to time, the Company purchases shares of its common stock, primarily
in the open market.  During the nine months ended September 30, 1998, the
Company purchased 50,400 shares of its common stock for an aggregate amount of
$413,000.  During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Company
purchased 41,600 shares of its common stock for an aggregate amount of $284,000.

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

Results of Operations

Net income of $927,000 and $2,195,000, respectively, in the three months and
nine months ended September 30, 1998, included gains of $928,000 and $2,198,000
from sales of property within the Company's Meadow Pointe project near Tampa,
Florida.  In the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1997, net
income was $783,000 and $2,344,000, respectively, and included gains of $663,000
and $2,081,000 from sales of Meadow Pointe property.  The Company sold 246
developed residential lots at Meadow Pointe during the nine months ended
September 30, 1998, which represented an 11% increase from the same period of
1997.

Meadow Pointe sales results for the nine months ended September 30, 1997
included aggregate revenue and cost of $274,000 and $166,000, respectively, for
a two-acre church site, a one-acre day care center site and a model home.
There were no such revenues or costs in the comparable 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 $47,000 and $159,000 of
revenues in the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1998,
respectively, and $78,000 and $215,000 in comparable periods in 1997.  The
decline in investment revenue from 1997 was due to a reduction in the amount of
funds available for investment.

General and administrative expenses in the three months and nine months ended
September 30, 1998 were, respectively, $87,000 and $203,000 higher than in the
comparable periods in 1997, due principally to higher employee compensation and
benefits expenses and higher than anticipated legal fees.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

   At September 30, 1998, the Company held $4,370,000 in cash, cash equivalents
and marketable securities, as compared to $2,086,000 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).

   The Company has financed expenditures relating to the development of Meadow
Pointe primarily through the issuance of capital improvement revenue bonds by a
series of community development districts encompassing the project.  During the
period February 1992 through September 1998, these districts issued
approximately $75,000,000 of capital improvement revenue bonds, including
$14,235,000 issued in September 1998.  The company anticipates that any further
expenditures will be financed through the issuance of additional bonds by one of
these districts, cash generated from operations, and cash currently 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.

Year 2000

   The Company utilizes a number of computer software programs in conducting its
business, primarily for financial and administrative purposes.  Within the next
few months, the Company will address the "Year 2000 Problem" by upgrading its
internal systems to the extent that the Company's software applications contain
source code that is able to appropriately interpret the upcoming year "2000"
and beyond.  The cost of these upgrades is not expected to be material to the
Company's financial position or results of operations.

   In addition, the Company is dependent to varying extents on the software
applications of certain organizations with and through which it conducts
business.  The Company is in the process of identifying the extent of the Year
2000 problem which may exist within relevant outside organizations.  The impact
of the Year 2000 problem on those organizations is not known, however,
management does not believe that impact will have a material adverse effect on
the Company's financial position or results of operations.  In management's
opinion, the primary risk of a Year 2000 problem within its operations is a
possible slowdown in the processing of information needed to complete short-term
transactions.  It is not believed that it would affect the time frame for
completion of the Meadow Pointe project or the value of other Company assets.
The Company does not have a Year 2000 contingency plan as it does not believe
that a worst case scenario would have a material adverse effect on its financial
position or results of operations.

                           PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.   Legal Proceedings

          California Franchise Tax Board Litigation

          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.  On May 30, 1997, the Court granted
          the FTB's motion for summary judgment. The Company appealed this
          judgment.

          On September 21, 1998, the Court of Appeal reversed the ruling of the
          trial court and held that the Company's predecessor was properly
          entitled to deduct against its California Corporate Franchise Tax, the
          non-business loss it had incurred.  On October 16, 1998, the Petition
          of the FTB for Rehearing was denied.  The FTB's time to file a
          Petition for Review to the Supreme Court of California has expired.

          Meadow Pointe Litigation

          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 an injunction compelling the subsidiary to
          operate and maintain architectural control at Meadow Pointe.

          On July 2, 1998, the Court granted the subsidiary's motion to sever
          and denied the subsidiary's motion to dismiss.  Accordingly, on
          July 13, 1998, plaintiffs filed a Severed Complaint against the
          Company's subsidiary, which seeks injunctive relief and declaratory
          relief, but no damages.

          On October 16, 1998, the Court granted summary judgment in favor of
          the Company's subsidiary on Count 1 of the Severed Complaint for
          Declaratory Relief.  The Court ruled that the recently established
          voluntary homeowners association for Meadow Pointe, to which the
          Company's subsidiary had assigned certain of its rights pursuant
          to the Declarations of Restrictions recorded in the public records of
          Pasco County, Florida, had standing to enforce said Declarations of
          Restrictions.  Plaintiffs have moved for reconsideration of the
          Court's ruling, and that motion is currently pending. On November 3,
          1998, the Company's subsidiary moved for summary judgment on the
          remaining count for injunctive relief.  The Company believes that it
          has meritorious defenses to the claims made against its subsidiary,
          and it intends to continue to vigorously contest the action.
