             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - UNAUDITED


1.  Presentation of Interim Financial Statements

     BankAtlantic  Bancorp,  Inc.  (the  "Company")  is a unitary  savings  bank
holding  company.   The  Company's   primary  asset  is  the  capital  stock  of
BankAtlantic,  its wholly owned  subsidiary.  Under  applicable law, the Company
generally has broad  authority with few  restrictions to engage in various types
of  business  activities.   The  Company's  primary  activities  relate  to  the
operations of BankAtlantic and BankAtlantic's subsidiaries. However, the Company
recently  entered into an agreement,  contingent  upon necessary  approvals,  to
acquire Ryan, Beck & Co.,  ("RBCO") an investment  banking firm and on March 26,
1998  provided  RBCO  with  a  $10.0  million  subordinated  loan  which  is not
contingent upon  consummation of the acquisition.  The Company recently acquired
Leasing  Technology Inc. ("LTI"), a company engaged in the equipment leasing and
financing  business.  It is anticipated  that LTI will operate as a wholly owned
subsidiary of BankAtlantic subject to pending regulatory  approval.  The Company
also  recently   invested  in  real  estate  joint  ventures.   All  significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

     In management's opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements
contain such adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company's  consolidated
financial  condition  at March 31, 1998 and 1997,  the  consolidated  results of
operations for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, the  consolidated
stockholders'  equity for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 and the
consolidated cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997. Such
adjustments consisted only of normal recurring items. The consolidated financial
statements  and related  notes are presented as permitted by Form 10Q and should
be read in  conjunction  with the  notes to  consolidated  financial  statements
appearing  in the  Company's  Annual  Report  on Form  10K for  the  year  ended
December 31, 1997.

2.  Equity Capital

     In March 1998,  the Company  announced a plan to purchase up to 2.0 million
shares of common  stock.  During the three  months  ended  March 31,  1998,  the
Company paid $4.4 million to  repurchase  and retire  303,500  shares of Class B
common stock.  During the three months ended March 31, 1998,  the Company issued
134,804  shares of Class A common  stock  upon the  conversion  of  $883,000  in
principal amount of the Company's 6 3/4% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due
2006 (the "6 3/4% Convertible  Debentures") at a conversion price of $6.55. This
conversion increased stockholders' equity $841,000, net of offering costs.

3.  Sales of  Financial Assets

     During the three  months  ended March 31, 1998 and 1997,  the Company  sold
$19.7 million and $5.3 million of mortgage  servicing  rights realizing gains of
$2.0 million and $2.4 million, respectively, and these mortgage servicing rights
related to  approximately  $1.3 billion and $518.2 million of underlying  loans,
respectively.  Included in other  assets at March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997
were $13.7 million and $7.4 million of receivables, respectively, from the sales
of mortgage servicing rights.  During the three months ended March 31, 1998, the
Company sold $328.1  million of  mortgage-backed  securities and $5.0 million of
treasury notes,  for an aggregate gain of $1.7 million.  During the three months
ended March 31,  1997,  the Company sold $91.3  million of treasury  notes for a
$253,000 gain. All securities sold were  classified as securities  available for
sale.

4.  Trading Securities

     During the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Company  transferred $1.8
million of equity securities  available for sale to trading securities resulting
in a  $562,000  unrealized  gain at the date of  transfer.  The  unrealized  and
realized gains  (losses) on trading  securities for the three months ended March
31, 1998 and 1997 were $171,000 and $(68,000), respectively.

5.  St. Lucie West

     In October  1997,  BankAtlantic  acquired the St. Lucie West Holding  Corp.
("SLWHC"),  the developer of the master  planned  community of St. Lucie West in
St. Lucie County,  Florida.  Upon further evaluation of the fair value of assets
acquired in connection with the SLWHC acquisition, an additional $1.0 million of
utility  receivable  and road  impact  fees was  added  to other  assets  with a
corresponding  reduction in land held for development and sale. The Company will
likely make further adjustments to the purchase accounting  allocations after an
evaluation of an appraisal from an independent third party.

<PAGE>


6.   Comprehensive Income

     In June 1997 the FASB  issued  Statement  No.  130 ("FAS  130")  "Reporting
Comprehensive income". The statement became effective for the Company on January
1,  1998  with  earlier  financial   statements   reclassified  to  reflect  the
application  of FAS 130.  Comprehensive  income  is the  change  in  equity of a
business  enterprise  during a period  from  transactions  and other  events and
circumstances from nonowner sources. Some of the items included in comprehensive
income are unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale, foreign
currency  translations  and underfunded  pension  obligations.  Reclassification
adjustments are made to avoid double counting in comprehensive income items that
are displayed as part of net income for a period that also had been displayed as
part of other comprehensive  income in an earlier period.  Implementation of FAS
130 required additional disclosure in the Company's financial statements and had
no impact on the  Company's  Statement  of  Financial  Condition or Statement of
Operations.  The income tax benefit relating to the reclassification  adjustment
for the three  months  ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 was  $306,000  and $26,000,
respectively.

7.  Acquisitions and Potential Acquisitions

     On March 20,  1998,  the  Company  acquired  LTI, a company  engaged in the
equipment  leasing  and finance  business.  LTI  principally  leases or finances
trucks,  and  manufacturing  and  construction  equipment to businesses  located
primarily  in South  Florida.  LTI was  acquired by the Company in exchange  for
718,413 shares of Class A common stock and $300,000 cash in a merger transaction
accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.  The Class A common stock
received  by  the  LTI  shareholders  is  subject  to  restrictions  prohibiting
transfers for periods ranging from one to three years.  The estimated fair value
of Class A common stock issued in the  acquisition was reduced by 10% to reflect
the  contractual  transfer  restrictions.  However this  valuation is subject to
change based on a valuation  appraisal report to be received from an independent
third party. Cost over fair value of net assets acquired is being amortized over
a 25 year period.

     The  preliminary  analysis  of  the  fair  value  of  assets  acquired  and
liabilities assumed in connection with the acquisition of LTI effective March 1,
1998 for financial reporting follows:

</TABLE>


     On February 9, 1998 the Company  entered into a definitive  agreement  with
Ryan, Beck & Co. ("RBCO") whereby all of RBCO outstanding  shares will,  subject
to receipt of certain  prior  approvals,  be acquired by the Company in exchange
for  shares  of the  Company's  Class  A  common  stock.  While  RBCO  will be a
wholly-owned  subsidiary of the Company,  it is anticipated that RBCO will be an
autonomous independent subsidiary,  operated by RBCO's current management. RBCO,
based in New  Jersey,  engages  in  underwriting,  market  making  distribution,
trading  of bank and  thrift  equity  and debt  securities,  tax  exempt  bonds,
consulting,  research  and  financial  advisory  services.  The total assets and
equity of RBCO at  December  31,  1997 were  $56.6  million  and $14.7  million,
respectively,  and net income for the year ended December 31, 1997 and the three
months  ended March 31, 1998 was $ 3.9 million and $1.4  million,  respectively.
The  agreement  establishes  an exchange  ratio of .761 shares of the  Company's
Class A common stock for each share of RBCO,  which,  based on the closing price
of the Class A common  stock on February 9, 1998,  would  result in an aggregate
purchase price of approximately $39.4 million.

<PAGE>

     The Company  extended  RBCO a $10.0  million  subordinated  loan on an arms
length basis to enable RBCO to expand into new products and markets.

     The agreement  provides for the establishment of an incentive and retention
pool, under which the Company's Class A common stock, representing approximately
20% of the total  transaction  value will be allocated to key employees of RBCO.
The allocated  shares will be  distributed in four years to employees who remain
for the  period.  The  retention  pool  will be  considered  compensation  under
generally accepted accounting principles.

     The acquisition is subject to regulatory  approvals and the approval of the
shareholders  of RBCO. It is anticipated  that the  transaction  will be closed,
contingent upon the necessary approvals,  in the second or third quarter of 1998
and will be accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.

8.  Loans Receivable

     The  increase  in the loans  receivable  balances  from  December  31, 1997
through March 31, 1998 resulted from the purchase of $778.4 million of wholesale
residential  loans. As a result of these purchases,  wholesale  residential loan
balances  increased  from $772.9 million at December 31, 1997 to $1.4 billion at
March 31, 1998.

         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                            AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Except for historical  information  contained herein, the matters discussed
in this report contain forward-looking  statements within the meaning of Section
27A of the  Securities  Act of 1993,  as amended  (the  "Securities  Act"),  and
Section 21E of the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the  "Exchange
Act"),  that  involve  substantial  risks and  uncertainties.  When used in this
report, the words "anticipate", "believe", "estimate", "may", "intend", "expect"
and similar  expressions  identify certain of such  forward-looking  statements.
Actual results,  performance or achievements  could differ materially from those
contemplated,  expressed or implied by the forward-looking  statements contained
herein.  These  forward-looking  statements  are based  largely on the Company's
expectations and are subject to a number of risks and  uncertainties,  including
but not limited to, economic conditions, competitive and other factors affecting
the Company's operations,  markets,  products and services, as well as expansion
strategies,  potential impact of change in interest rates,  regulatory oversight
and other factors  discussed in the Company's  Annual Report on Form 10K for the
year ended  December  31, 1997 Many of these  factors  are beyond the  Company's
control.

     The Company's basic and diluted earnings per share for Class A common stock
were $0.17 and $0.14,  respectively,  for the three  months ended March 31, 1998
compared to $0.22 and $0.18 for the comparable 1997 period.  The Company's basic
and diluted  earnings  per share for Class B common  stock were $0.15 and $0.13,
respectively  for the three  months  ended March 31, 1998  compared to $0.22 and
$0.18 for the  comparable  1997 period.  The Company's net income  declined from
$6.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $5.3 million during
the comparable  1998 period.  The primary  reasons for the decline in net income
were declines in loan servicing income,  including  accelerated  amortization of
premiums associated with mortgage servicing rights resulting from prepayments of
the  related  mortgages  and  expense  increases  associated  with  real  estate
development  and sale  activity and other growth  initiatives  undertaken by the
Company.

     The  increase in interest  and fees on loans  during the three months ended
March 31,  1998  compared  to the same period in 1997  reflects  higher  average
balances resulting from the purchase of residential loans and the origination of
commercial  mortgages  and  international  loans.  The above  increases  in loan
average  balances were  partially  offset by lower  originated  residential  and
consumer loan average balances due to sales and prepayments of residential loans
and consumer  loan  payoffs.  The  additional  interest  income from higher loan
average  balances  was  partially  offset  by  lower  rates  earned  on the loan
portfolio due to a shift in the loan portfolio from higher yielding consumer and
commercial loans to lower yielding  residential  loans.  Residential  loans as a
percentage  of total  loans  receivable  increased  from 48.6%  during the three
months ended March 31, 1997 to 55.7% during the comparable 1998 period.  Average
balances of purchased residential loans,  commercial mortgages and international
loans increased from $445.6 million, $534.5 million and $0, respectively, during
the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $1.1 billion,  $554.2 million and $24.2
million,  respectively during the comparable 1998 period. Originated residential
and  consumer  loan average  balances  declined  from $456.0  million and $344.8
million,  respectively,  during the three  months ended March 31, 1997 to $206.8
million and $328.6 million, respectively, during the comparable 1998 period. The
increase in  banker's  acceptances  interest  income  resulted  from the Company
investing short term funds in banker's  acceptances  during the first quarter of
1998.  The increase in interest and dividends on  securities  available for sale
resulted from higher average  balances due to purchases of securities  available
for sale.  During the year ended  December  31, 1997 and the three  months ended
March 31,  1998,  the Company  purchased  $665.0  million and $215.6  million of
securities available for sale, respectively.  The above purchases were partially
offset by sales of securities  available  for sale of $333.1  million and $355.5
million during the three months ended March 31, 1998 and the year ended December
31, 1997,  respectively.  The  increases in interest and dividends on investment
securities during 1998 were primarily due to higher FHLB stock average balances.
FHLB stock average balances increased from $16.1 million during the three months
ended  March 31,  1997 to $38.1  million  during  the  comparable  1998  period.
Increases in FHLB stock were required based on higher FHLB advance levels.

     The decrease in interest on deposits  for the quarter  ended March 31, 1998
compared to the  comparable  1997 quarter  resulted from lower  average  deposit
balances  and rates during  1998.  Average  interest  bearing  deposit  balances
decreased  from $1.7  billion for the three  months ended March 31, 1997 to $1.6
billion for the three months ended March 31, 1998, and average rates on deposits
decreased  from  4.19%  during  the  1997  first  quarter  to 4.14%  during  the
comparable 1998 quarter.  The decline in deposit average balances reflects lower
certificate  account  balances  due to the  run-off of higher  rate  certificate
accounts acquired in connection with the Bank of North America acquisition.  The
decline  in  deposit  average  rates  resulted  from a change  in the mix of the
deposit   portfolio  from  higher  rate  certificate   accounts  to  lower  rate
transaction  accounts.  The mix in the Company's  deposit portfolio changed from
55% certificate  accounts and 45%  transaction  accounts during the three months
ended March 31, 1997 to 51% certificate  accounts and 49%  transaction  accounts
during the comparable 1998 period.  The increase in interest expense on advances
from FHLB was  primarily  due to higher  average  balances.  Advances  from FHLB
average balances  increased from $314.5 million during the first quarter of 1997
to $721.0  million  during the  comparable  1998 quarter.  The  additional  FHLB
borrowings were primarily  intermediate  term advances used to fund purchases of
residential  loans.  The  higher  interest  expense  on  securities  sold  under
agreements to repurchase  resulted from higher average balances and rates during
1998.  Securities sold under agreements to repurchase average balances and rates
increased  from $194.5 million and 5.26% during the three months ended March 31,
1997 to $229.1 million and 5.40% during the comparable  1998 three month period.
During the 1997 quarter interest on subordinated debentures included interest on
$21.0 million of the Company's 9% Subordinated Debentures and $57.5 million of 6
3/4%  Convertible  Debentures.  The  interest  expense  during the 1998  quarter
includes interest on each of the above Debentures plus interest on $74.5 million
of the  Company's 9 1/2% Junior  Subordinated  Debentures  issued in April 1997,
interest  on the  Company's  $100  million  of 5 5/8%  Convertible  Subordinated
Debentures issued in November 1997 and interest on $2.4 million of notes payable
relating  primarily  to SLWHC  and LTI.  The  proceeds  from the  offerings  and
increases in securities  sold under  agreements to repurchase  average  balances
were primarily used to fund growth in loans and investments available for sale.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

     The  provision  for loan losses for the first quarter 1998 was $3.4 million
compared to $2.5 million  during the  comparable  1997  period.  The higher 1998
provision for loan losses primarily  resulted from an $800,000  specific reserve
established  for a factoring  account.  Consumer loan net  charge-offs  remained
constant at $2.0  million  during the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997
while  residential  loan net charge-offs  increased by $127,000  compared to the
first quarter of 1997.  Lease net charge-offs  relating to the operations of LTI
were $48,000 for the one month ended March 31, 1998.

(1) The majority of these loans have matured and the borrower continues to make
    payments under the matured loan agreement BankAtlantic is in the process of
    renewing or extending these matured loans.

     Total risk  elements  at March 31,  1998  compared  to  December  31,  1997
increased by $7.6 million.  The increase in risk elements  primarily  relates to
non-accrual commercial loans and commercial loans contractually past due 90 days
or more. During the three months ended March 31, 1998 a $2.9 million  commercial
non-residential  mortgage  loan  was  transferred  from  restructured  loans  to
non-accrual  and a $2.7 million  commercial  non-residential  mortgage  loan was
transferred to non-accrual  status.  Also, during the 1998 period a $5.0 million
commercial  loan  matured and is  currently  in the renewal  process.  The above
increases  in risk  elements  at March 31, 1998 were  partially  offset by lower
consumer,  residential and tax  certificate  non-accrual  balances.  Repossessed
assets includes  $567,000 of equipment and vehicles  acquired in connection with
the LTI acquisition.

     The decrease in loan  servicing  and other loan fees during the three month
period in 1998 compared to the corresponding 1997 period resulted from a decline
in loan servicing income, partially offset by an increase in late fee income and
loan fees.  Loan  servicing  income  declined by $1.4 million due to accelerated
amortization of mortgage servicing rights caused by mortgage  prepayments during
the period.  Late fee and other loan fee income  increased from $856,000  during
the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $1.2 million during the comparable 1998
period primarily due to a larger loan portfolio.

     During the three  months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997,  BankAtlantic  sold
$93.9 million and $24.6 million of loans  available for sale for gains  reported
in the preceding table. In March 1998,  BankAtlantic,  transferred $50.4 million
of  purchased  residential  loans from the held to  maturity  category  to loans
available for sale category.

     During the three  months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997,  BankAtlantic  sold
$19.7 million and $5.3 million,  respectively,  of mortgage servicing rights for
gains reported in the above table.  These rights related to  approximately  $1.3
billion and $518.2 million of loans serviced for others, respectively.

     During the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Company  transferred $1.8
million of marketable  equity  securities from securities  available for sale to
trading securities. The unrealized gain on the transfer date was $562,000.

     The  increase in  transaction  account  fees during the three  months ended
March 31, 1998 compared to the  corresponding  1997 period  resulted from higher
checking  account income  reflecting  increased  transaction  accounts.  Average
transaction  account balances increased from $909.6 million at March 31, 1997 to
$997.7 million at March 31, 1998.

     ATM fee income  during the first  quarter of 1998  remained  at 1997 levels
while  transaction  volumes  at  ATM  machines  decreased  slightly.  Management
anticipates ATM fee income will increase due to the expected installation during
1998 of 127 ATM machines in Georgia and Alabama Wal-Mart SuperStores, and 57 ATM
machines in Exxon gas stations located in Florida.

     Real estate held for  development and sale  activities,  net represents the

recorded a $100,000  gain on sale of land and incurred $1.1 million of operating

</TABLE>

     The increase in employee  compensation and benefits during the three months
ended March 31, 1998 compared to the 1997 period  resulted from the expansion of
BankAtlantic's  branch  network,  the start-up of two new business  units (small
business  and  international),  the hiring of 50 senior  managers,  support  and
branch  personnel from competing banks to enlarge the Company's  market share in
Miami-Dade  County,  and the  acquisition  of LTI.  As a result of these  growth
initiatives the number of full-time  equivalent  employees increased from 985 at
March 31, 1997 to 1,113 at March 31,  1998.  Occupancy  and  equipment  expenses
increased due to the expanded  branch network and computer  technology  upgrades
resulting in $214,000 of higher depreciation expense, $60,000 of additional rent
expense and $91,000 of higher equipment expenses.  During the three months ended
March 31, 1998 and the year ended  December  31, 1997  additions to property and
equipment totaled $1.6 million and $7.9 million, respectively.

     The increase in federal  insurance  premiums  during the three months ended
March  31,  1998  compared  to the same 1997  period  reflects  a lower  deposit
assessment  base during 1997 resulting from the BNA acquisition in October 1996.
The first  quarter  1997 deposit  premium was based on September  30, 1996 total
assets.

     The increase in advertising  and promotion  expenses  during the March 1998
quarter  resulted  from  promotions  associated  with the  branch  expansion  in
Miami-Dade County, Florida and BankAtlantic's small business banking unit.
 
     The  increase  in the  amortization  of cost over fair  value of net assets
acquired  for  the  three  months  ended  March  31,  1998  related  to the  LTI
acquisition.

     The increase in other expenses during the three months ended March 31, 1998
compared to the 1997 period reflects  additional  operating  expenses  generally
associated with a larger organization.  As a result, total stationery,  printing
and supplies, telephone, and postage expenses increased from $1.2 million during
the three  months  ended  March 31,  1997 to $1.4  million  during the same 1998
period.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

     The Company's total assets at March 31, 1998 were $3.5 billion  compared to
$3.1 billion at December 31, 1997. Loans receivable,  net, other assets and cost
over fair  value of net  assets  acquired  increased  by $563.6  million,  $11.0
million and $8.9  million,  respectively,  while  securities  available for sale
declined by $149.4 million.  The higher loans receivable  balances resulted from
the purchase of $778.4 million of wholesale residential loans and $342.4 million
of loan fundings,  partially offset by $445.6 million of principal reductions on
loans and $93.9  million of loan sales.  Included  in other  assets at March 31,
1998 was an $11.0 million receivable from the sale of mortgage servicing rights.
The LTI  acquisition  increased  cost over fair value of net assets  acquired by
$9.5  million  offset by  amortization  of  existing  goodwill.  The  decline in
securities  available for sale balances resulted from the sale of $333.1 million
of securities, and principal collected of $30.2 million, partially offset by the
purchase of $215.6  million of securities  available for sale.  The Company sold
securities to fund loan growth.

     The  Company's  total  liabilities  at March 31,  1998  were  $3.3  billion
compared  to $2.9  billion  at  December  31,  1997.  Deposits,  FHLB  advances,
securities sold under agreements to repurchase,  advances by borrowers for taxes
and insurance and other liabilities increased by $66.4 million,  $274.0 million,
$58.7 million,  $33.4 million and $22.3 million,  respectively.  Transaction and
certificate  accounts  increased $54.8 million and $11.6 million,  respectively.
The deposit  increase  primarily came from the Miami-Dade  County market segment
and the small business banking unit. The increase in other liabilities  reflects
$13.0  million  of  mortgage  servicing  rights  purchased  and not yet  funded.
Proceeds from FHLB  advances,  securities  sold under  agreements to repurchase,
deposit  inflows  and  advances  by  borrowers  for  taxes and  insurance,  loan
repayments,  sales  of  financial  assets,  principal  collected  on  securities
available for sale and investment securities held to maturity were used to repay
securities  sold under  agreements to  repurchase,  fund loan growth and deposit
outflows and to purchase  securities  available  for sale,  trading  securities,
mortgage  servicing  rights,   FHLB  stock,  tax  certificates  and  to  acquire
outstanding shares of Class B common stock.

MARKET RISK

     Market risk is the risk  arising from  changes in interest  rates,  foreign
currency exchange rates, and commodity and equity prices.  The Company maintains
a portfolio of trading and  available  for sale  securities  which  subjects the
Company to equity  pricing  risks.  The  Company's  equity  pricing risk did not
significantly  change from December 31, 1997. The Company's  primary market risk
is interest rate risk.

     The majority of the Company's assets and liabilities are monetary in nature
subjecting  the  Company to  significant  interest  rate risk.  The  Company has
developed a model using vendor  software to quantify  its interest  rate risk. A
sensitivity  analysis was performed  measuring the Company's potential gains and
losses in net portfolio  fair values of interest rate  sensitive  instruments at
March 31, 1998 resulting from a change in interest rates.  The model  calculates
the net  potential  gains  and  losses  in net  portfolio  fair  value  by:  (i)
discounting cash flows from existing assets,  liabilities and off-balance  sheet
contracts to determine fair values at March 31, 1998, (ii) discounting the above
expected  cash flows based on  instantaneous  and  parallel  shifts in the yield
curve to  determine  fair  values  (iii) the  difference  between the fair value
calculated  in (i) and (ii) is the  potential  gains and losses in net portfolio
fair values.  Management has made estimates of fair value discount rates that it
believes to be reasonable.  However,  because there is no quoted market for many
of these financial instruments, management has no basis to determine whether the
fair value  presented  would be indicative of the value  negotiated in an actual
sale.  BankAtlantic's  fair value  estimates do not consider the tax effect that
would be associated  with the  disposition of the assets or liabilities at their
fair value estimates.

     Presented below is an analysis of the Company's interest rate risk at March
31, 1998 as calculated utilizing the Company's model. The table measures changes
in net portfolio value for  instantaneous and parallel shifts in the yield curve
in 100 basis point increments up or down.

</TABLE>

     Certain assumptions by the Company in assessing the interest rate risk were
utilized in preparing the preceding table.  These assumptions relate to interest
rates, loan prepayment rates,  deposit decay rates, and market values of certain
assets  under  various  interest  rate  scenarios.  It  was  also  assumed  that
delinquency  rates  will not change as a result of  changes  in  interest  rates
although there can be no assurance that this will be the case.  Even if interest
rates change in the  designated  increments,  there can be no assurance that the
Company's assets and liabilities  would perform as indicated in the table above.
In  addition,  a  change  in U.S.  Treasury  rates  in the  designated  amounts,
accompanied   by  a  change  in  the  shape  of  the  yield  curve  could  cause
significantly  different  changes  to the  fair  values  than  indicated  above.
Furthermore,  the result of the  calculations in the preceding table are subject
to  significant   deviations   based  upon  actual  future   events,   including
anticipatory and reactive measures which the Company may take in the future.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
     In March 1998, the Company  extended a $10.0 million  subordinated  loan to
RBCO which was used by RBCO to increase its regulatory equity capital.  The loan
bears  interest at  BankAtlantic's  prime interest rate and matures on March 30,
2001.  The loan  will  qualify  as equity  capital  to RBCO  under the  National
Association of Securities Dealers Inc.  regulations enabling RBCO to expand into
new products and markets.

     LTI is  obligated  on leases sold with full  recourse  by LTI to  investors
prior to the acquisition.  Under the terms of such agreements, LTI is subject to
recourse for 100% of the remaining  balance of the lease  receivable sold upon a
default by the lessees.  At March 31, 1998, the amount of lease payments subject
to  such  recourse  provisions  was  approximately  $15.8  million.  A  $373,000
estimated   liability  on  leases  sold  with  recourse  is  included  in  other
liabilities in the Company's Statement of Financial Condition.

     BankAtlantic's  primary  sources of funds  during the first three months of
1998 were from operations,  principal collected on loans,  securities  available
for sale and  investment  securities  held to maturity,  and sales of securities
available  for  sale,  FHLB  advances,   securities  sold  under  agreements  to
repurchase,  mortgage servicing rights sales,  deposit inflows and advances from
borrowers for taxes and insurance.  These funds were primarily  utilized to fund
operating  expenses,  deposit  outflows,  loan  purchases  and  fundings  and to
purchase  FHLB  stock,  tax  certificates,  trading  securities  and  securities
available for sale. At March 31, 1998, BankAtlantic met all applicable liquidity
and regulatory capital requirements.

     BankAtlantic's  commitments to originate loans, purchase loans and purchase
securities  available  for sale at March 31,  1998 were  $144.1  million,  $26.5
million and $30.1  million,  respectively  compared to  commitments to originate
loans,  purchase  loans  and  purchase  securities  available  for sale of $46.9
million, $24.0 million, and zero, respectively,  at March 31, 1997. BankAtlantic
expects to fund the 1998 loan commitments from loan and securities available for
sale  repayments.  At March 31, 1998, loan  commitments were 6.47 % of net loans
receivable.

     At the indicated date BankAtlantic's capital amounts and ratios were:
