          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
          -------------------------------------------------------------
                                   OPERATIONS
                                   ----------
            COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 AND 1995
            --------------------------------------------------------


     During the three  months  ended  March 31, 1996 the Company had income from
operations of $2,050,000 as compared with  $1,735,000 in 1995, and net income of
$1,168,000 or $.19 a share for the three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared
with $989,000 or $.16 a share for the similar period in 1995.

     The increase in income was primarily  attributable to Levitt  Corporation's
operations.

     Levitt's backlog of homes contracted for sale increased from $78,900,000 at
March 31, 1995 to  $95,772,000  at March 31,  1996.  Included in Levitt's  sales
backlog is its 50% interests in joint ventures.

     HRH  Construction  Corporation  reported an increase in  operating  income,
offset  by a  rise  in  general  and  administrative  expenses  relating  to the
Company's expansion in the interior construction field.

     Mortgage and closing costs  increased  reflecting the expansion of Levitt's
mortgage banking operations.


Financial Condition and Capital Resources

     The Company meets it short-term financing needs with cash generated from
operations and funds available under several unsecured credit agreements. On
January 31, 1996, Levitt satisfied a $14,400,000 unsecured credit facility
through a $4,400,000 payment from working captial and a $10,000,000 payment
from an unsecured term loan. The new loan requires semi-annual principal
payments of $1,000,000 and $1,500,000 in July and January, respectively,
through January 2000.


Housebuilding Operations

    The Company generally meets its land acquisition, development and
construction needs through mortgage loans and unsecured revolving credit
facilities. During March 1996, the Company renewed and extended its $15,000,000
revolving unsecured credit agreement used to finance its Puerto Rico
homebuilding operation for an additional three years.


Mortgage Operations

     During 1995 the Company entered into a credit agreement with a Puerto Rico
bank to provide an unsecured revolving line of credit of $3,000,000 to finance
the working capital needs of the expanding Puerto Rico mortgage banking
operation.

     Development/Construction Management

     During 1995 the Company entered into a credit agreement with a New York
bank to provide a $3,000,000 unsecured line of credit to finance development,
construction and other operating activities.                  
 
1996 Cash Flow

     Net  cash  provided  by  operating   activities  comprised  net  income  of
$1,168,000 and a decrease in inventories of $2,511,000, offset by an increase in
other assets of $2,748,000, net adjustments for non-cash items of $17,000, and a
net change in other operating assets and liabilities of $2,336,000.

     The decrease in inventories is due to the timing of titling homes in Puerto
Rico and  domestically.  The  increase in other  assets is  attributable  to the
expansion of development projects.

     Net cash  provided by investing  activities  comprised  distributions  from
joint  ventures  of  $2,810,000,  offset by other net  investing  activities  of
$538,000.

     Net cash used in financing  activities  comprised net principal payments on
notes and mortgages payable of $6,955,000 plus dividends paid to stockholders of
$391,000.


Seasonality

     The timing of introducing Levitt's new projects to the market, weather
conditions in certain of Levitt's regions, and traditional periods of greater
customer activitiy have tended to create seasonal trends in Levitt's
residential home building activities. Historically, the number of homes
delivered has been greater in the second half of the calender year.  

     Except as discussed above, management is not aware of any trends or events,
commitments or uncertainties that will impact liquidity in a material way.
