              CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)

1.      BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

        The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of BankUnited Financial Corporation ("BankUnited") and its
subsidiaries, including BankUnited, FSB (the "Bank"). All significant
intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

        The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
conformity with Rule 10- 01 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange
Commission and therefore do not include information or footnotes necessary for a
complete presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash
flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").
However, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which, in the
opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
statements have been included. Operating results for the three-month and
nine-month periods ended June 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the
results which may be expected for the year ending September 30, 1999. For
further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes
thereto included in BankUnited's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended September 30, 1998.

        Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the
June 30, 1999 consolidated financial statements.

         the computation of diluted loss per share because of their antidilutive
         effect.

         stock equivalent shares of convertible preferred stock outstanding that
         were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share
         because of their antidilutive effect.

         For the nine months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 there were 360,493 and

         preferred stock outstanding that were not included in the computation
         of diluted earnings (loss) per share because of their antidilutive

3.       IMPACT OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

         In October 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 134, "Accounting for
Mortgage-Backed Securities Retained after the Securitization of Mortgage Loans
Held for Sale by a Mortgage Banking Enterprise." This Statement amends FASB
Statement No. 65, "Accounting for Certain Mortgage Banking Activities," to
require that after the securitization of mortgage loans held for sale, an entity
engaged in mortgage banking activities classify the resulting mortgage-backed
securities or other retained interests based on its ability and intent to sell
or hold those investments. This Statement is effective for the first fiscal
quarter beginning after December 15, 1998. The adoption of this Statement is
reflected in the financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q, but has not had, and is not expected to have, a material impact on the
financial position or results of operations of BankUnited.

         In July 1999, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
- Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133." This statement
delays the effective date of FASB Statement No. 133," Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" to all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2000. Management does not expect the adoption of this
Statement for its current derivative instruments to have any material effect on
BankUnited's financial position or results of operations.

4.       CAPITAL

         In December 1998, the Board of Directors of BankUnited authorized the
purchase from time to time in open market transactions of up to 1,000,000 shares
of BankUnited's Class A Common Stock at such prices as the Executive Committee
deems advantageous. During July and August 1999, BankUnited purchased 100,000
shares of its Class A Common Stock on the open market.

         In May 1999, BankUnited's Board of Directors authorized the purchase of
shares of its 9% Noncumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock (the "9% Preferred
Stock") on the open market as deemed appropriate, and, if the market is
appropriate, the retirement of the 9% Preferred Stock. As of the date of filing
of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, BankUnited had not yet purchased any
shares of its 9% Preferred Stock.

         The Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") requires that the Bank meet
minimum regulatory, core and risk-based capital requirements. Currently, the
Bank exceeds all regulatory capital requirements. The Bank's required, actual
and excess regulatory capital levels as of June 30, 1999 were as follows:

5.       COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

         BankUnited adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income,"
effective October 1, 1998. BankUnited's comprehensive income includes all items
which comprise net income plus other comprehensive income which includes the
unrealized holding gains and losses on available for sale securities. For the
three and nine months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, BankUnited's other
comprehensive income (loss) was as follows:

6.       CONTINGENCIES AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET ACTIVITIES

         During November 1998, the Bank established a program to issue from time
to time up to a total of $500 million aggregate principal amount of its Senior
Notes (the "Senior Notes") backed by an irrevocable stand-by letter of credit of
the FHLB of Atlanta. These notes may have either a fixed or floating rate of
interest, determined at the time of issuance, and will mature no sooner than 9
months and no more than 10 years from the date of issuance. The Bank intends to
use the net proceeds from the sale of the Senior Notes for general corporate
purposes that will ultimately promote home financing or other housing activity
and encourage and assist the Bank's asset/liability management. The notes have
been rated "Aaa" by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. and "AAA" by Standard &
Poor's Ratings Services. On February 2, 1999, the Bank issued and sold $200.0
million of Senior Notes which mature five years from the date of issuance and
bear interest at an annual rate of 5.40%, payable semiannually.

         During April 1998, the Bank entered into two interest rate cap
contracts with a major Wall Street firm in notional amounts of $90.0 million and
$60.0 million, terminating on October 23, 1999 and April 23, 2000, respectively.
The contracts require the counter-party to pay the Bank quarterly interest
payments based on the notional amounts and the difference between the "London
Inter Bank Offering Rate" (the "LIBOR rate") and 5.90% when the LIBOR rate
exceeds 5.90%, in return for a one-time payment by the Bank.

         During May 1998, the Bank entered into a third interest rate cap
contract with another major Wall Street firm in a notional amount of $75.0
million terminating on May 30, 2000. The contract requires the counter-party to
pay the Bank quarterly interest payments based on the notional amount and the
difference between the LIBOR rate and 6.10% when the LIBOR rate exceeds 6.10%,
in return for a one-time payment by the Bank.

         The Bank entered into these contracts for the purpose of hedging a
portion of BankUnited's interest rate risk against rising interest rates on
certain short-term borrowings. As of June 30, 1999, the 3-month LIBOR rate was
5.36%.

         BankUnited is a party to certain claims and litigation arising in the
ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the resolution of
such claims and litigation will not materially affect BankUnited's consolidated
financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 2.           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                  AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The following discussion and analysis and the related financial data
present a review of the consolidated operating results and financial condition
of BankUnited Financial Corporation ("BankUnited") for the three and nine month
periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998. This discussion and analysis should be
read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto
contained in BankUnited's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
September 30, 1998.

         This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements.
Additional written or oral forward-looking statements may be made by BankUnited
from time to time in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission or
otherwise. Such forward-looking statements are within the meaning of that term

and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"). Such statements may include, but not be limited to, projections
of income, borrowing costs, prepayment rates, and plans for future operations or
acquisitions, as well as assumptions relating to the foregoing. The words
"believe," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "project," "intend," and similar

events and actual results could differ materially from those set forth in,
contemplated by, or underlying the forward- looking statements.

GENERAL

         BankUnited is a Florida-incorporated savings and loan holding company
for BankUnited, FSB (the "Bank"). BankUnited's principal business currently
consists of the operation of its wholly-owned subsidiary, the Bank. The Bank's
primary business is attracting retail deposits from the general public and
investing those deposits, together with borrowings, principal repayments and
other funds, primarily in one-to-four family residential mortgage loans and to a
lesser extent, mortgage-backed securities, commercial real estate loans,
multi-family mortgage loans, commercial business loans and consumer loans. The
Bank also invests in other permitted investments. The Bank is subject to the
regulations of certain federal agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by
those regulatory authorities. References to BankUnited include the activities of
all of its subsidiaries, including the Bank and its subsidiaries, if the context
so requires.

         BankUnited's results of operations are dependent primarily on its net
interest income, which is the difference between the interest earned on its
assets, primarily its loan and securities portfolios, and its cost of funds,
which consists of the interest paid on its deposits and borrowings. BankUnited's
results of operations are also affected by its provision for loan losses as well
as non-interest income, non-interest expenses and income tax expense.
Non-interest expenses consist of employee compensation and benefits, occupancy
and equipment, insurance, professional fees, data processing, loan servicing
expense and other operating expenses. The earnings of BankUnited are also
significantly affected by general economic and

                                       11

competitive conditions, particularly changes in market interest rates and the
U.S. Treasury yield curves, government policies and actions of regulatory
authorities.

SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999

THIRD QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

         BankUnited reported record earnings for the third quarter of fiscal
1999 consisting entirely of core earnings and not as a result of the sale of
assets. The primary reason for the increase in core earnings was a sharp
improvement in BankUnited's interest spread for the three months ended June 30,
1999 to 1.62% from 0.75% for the three months ended June 30, 1998. In addition,
BankUnited's efficiency ratio improved to 62.58% from 68.08% for the same
quarter of 1998. As a result of BankUnited pursuing its strategy of becoming an
asset-generating entity, residential loan originations increased to $168.3
million or 69.4% over the same quarter period last year. BankUnited's new focus
on commercial lending, consumer lending and small business banking has resulted
in record increases in production over the same quarter period last year for
loan originations and commitments to lend of 99.1% for commercial lending and
149.7% for consumer lending and $8.4 million in production for the newly created
small business banking division. In support of its commitment to its business
customers, BankUnited opened two branches this quarter, including one in
Downtown Miami.

SECOND QUARTER RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

         BankUnited's restructuring resulted in a special charge of $15.1
million, as well as a provision for loan losses of $6.3 million, a provision for
tax certificate investment losses of $1.1 million and certain other
miscellaneous charges of $2.0 million.

         BankUnited's earnings had been severely hampered during several
quarters prior to the restructuring due to the high levels of prepayments
associated with one-year CMT loans ("One-Year CMT") acquired in the secondary
market. One-Year CMT loans are adjustable-rate mortgages with an index tied to
the yield on one-year U.S. Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity
published by the Federal Reserve. During the second quarter of fiscal 1999,
BankUnited reviewed its various sources of revenues and made a determination to
change its overall strategy and become an asset-generating entity. In that
regard, BankUnited decided to stop purchasing One-Year CMT loans and reduce its
dependence on the purchase of residential mortgages in the secondary market. In
addition, it transferred all of the remaining One-Year CMT loans to held for
sale as of March 31, 1999. Included in the $15.1 million charge was a $14.8
million charge consisting of $13.0 million of purchase premiums which was
required to write down the carrying value of the purchased One-Year CMT loan
portfolio to the lower of cost or market and a $1.8 million charge for
accelerated amortization of purchase premiums on a related security. BankUnited
also made the decision to discontinue indirect consumer lending and tax
certificate investing because it was clear from management's review that
BankUnited could not anticipate future benefits from continuing these lines of
business.

         The review also led to a rigorous review of BankUnited's loan
portfolio. This examination resulted in a provision for loan losses of $6.3
million. See "Results of Operations-Provision for Loan Losses." BankUnited also
made a $1.1 million provision for losses on its tax certificates in connection
with its decision to discontinue this line of business and a review of the
quality of the assets. The miscellaneous charges of $2.0 million included $1.0
million in costs associated with becoming Year 2000 compliant.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         BankUnited's primary source of funds is cash provided by investing
activities and includes principal and interest payments on loans,
mortgage-backed securities and other securities. For the nine months ended June
30, 1999 and 1998, principal repayments on loans and mortgage-backed securities
and proceeds from maturities of other securities remained constant at $1.2
billion. For the three months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, principal repayments
on loans and mortgage-backed securities and proceeds from maturities of other
securities totaled $296.5 million and $587.4 million, respectively. BankUnited
began experiencing significant acceleration of prepayments on certain mortgage
loans and mortgage backed securities in the quarter ended June 30, 1998 due to
the decrease in long-term interest rates which continued through the quarter
ended March 31, 1999. During the quarter ended June 30, 1999, long-term interest
rates rose slightly causing the volume of mortgage loan refinancing to decrease.
This has had the effect of slowing the prepayment rate of BankUnited's loan
portfolio.

         BankUnited's other sources of funds are provided by financing
activities and includes borrowings and deposits. Net cash provided by financing
activities during the nine months ended June 30, 1999 decreased to $202.1
million from $1.2 billion, for the nine months ended June 30, 1998. The overall
decrease in the sources of funds resulted from the reduction in funds needed to
purchase residential loans in the secondary market. The decrease in securities
sold under agreements to repurchase was partially offset by the issuance of the
Bank's Senior Notes (the "Senior Notes"). During November 1998, the Bank
established a medium-term note program which permits the issuance, from time to
time, of up to a total of $500 million aggregate principal amount of the Senior
Notes, with maturities ranging from 9 months to 10 years from the date of
issuance. As a condition of issuance, interest, principal and any redemption
premium on all offered Senior Notes are supported by an irrevocable stand-by
letter of credit of the FHLB of Atlanta. The Senior Notes provide an additional
source of funding, potentially with longer maturities with attractive rates. On
February 2, 1999, the Bank issued and sold $200.0 million of Senior Notes which
mature five years from the date of issuance and bear interest at an annual rate
of 5.40% payable semiannually.

         BankUnited's primary uses of funds in its operating and investing
activities has been the origination and purchase of loans and the purchase of
mortgage-backed securities and other securities. During the nine months ended
June 30, 1999, BankUnited's originations of loans totaled $479.2 million,
purchases of loans totaled $683.8 million and purchases of mortgage-backed
securities and other securities totaled $194.8 million. For the same period in
1998, BankUnited's originations of loans totaled $268.3 million, purchases of
loans totaled $2.2 billion and purchases of mortgage-backed securities and other
securities totaled $152.8 million. The decrease in purchases of loans during the
nine months ended June 30, 1999 is the result of BankUnited's decision to reduce
its purchases of residential loans in the secondary market and to turn its
emphasis to originating its own loans.

         The Bank is required under applicable federal regulations to maintain
specified levels of liquid investments in cash, United States government
securities and other qualifying investments. Regulations currently in effect
require the Bank to maintain liquid assets of not less than 4.0% of its net
withdrawable accounts plus short-term borrowings. The Bank had liquid assets of
11.66% and 7.18% as of June 30, 1999 and September 30, 1998, respectively, in
compliance with this requirement.

         Federal savings banks such as the Bank are also required to maintain
capital at levels specified by applicable minimum capital ratios. At June 30,
1999, the Bank was in compliance with all capital requirements and met the
definition of a "well capitalized" institution under applicable federal
regulations.

ANALYSIS OF NET INTEREST INCOME

         Net interest income represents the difference between income on
interest-earning assets and expense on interest-bearing liabilities. The
following tables set forth certain information relating to the categories of
BankUnited's interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities for the
periods indicated, including the effect on yields of the accelerated
amortization of purchase premiums on the One-Year CMT loan portfolio and a
related security recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 and the third
quarter of fiscal 1998 due to the high level of prepayments and the $14.8
million charge in the second quarter of fiscal 1999 related to the write-off of
purchase premiums on the One-Year CMT loan portfolio and the continuing
acceleration of amortization of purchase premiums on a related security. See
"Second Quarter Restructuring Charges." All yield and rate information is
calculated on an annualized basis. Yield and rate information for a period is
average information for the period calculated by dividing the income or expense
item for the period by the average balances during the period of the appropriate
balance sheet item. Net interest margin is the product of average
interest-earning assets and the annualized yield earned minus the product of
average interest-bearing liabilities and the annualized rate paid, divided by
average interest-earning assets. Nonaccrual loans are included in asset balances
for the appropriate period, whereas recognition of interest on such loans is

ASSET QUALITY

         Non-performing assets as of June 30, 1999 were $30.7 million, which
represents an increase of $8.1 million or 35.8% from $22.6 million as of
September 30, 1998. The increase in non-performing assets primarily resulted
from increases in non-accrual loans and non-accrual tax certificates of $7.6
million and $0.6 million, respectively. Non-accrual loans increased primarily
due to a $3.3 million increase in one-to-four family residential loan
delinquencies and a $3.6 million increase in commercial mortgage loan
delinquencies. Included in the increase of $3.6 million in commercial mortgage
loans is one loan in the amount of $2.5 million. The increase in non-accrual tax
certificates resulted from a change in BankUnited's policy regarding
classification of tax certificates relating to bankruptcy proceedings initiated
by the debtor. The policy was changed in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 to
require classification of the tax certificates as non-accrual upon filing of
bankruptcy by the debtor instead of upon finalization of the bankruptcy plan by
the courts. Non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets increased from
0.61% as of September 30, 1998 to 0.78% as of June 30, 1999 due to the increase
in non-performing assets for the reasons discussed above.

non-performing assets at June 30, 1999 and September 30, 1998.

         BankUnited's allowance for loan losses is established and maintained
based upon management's evaluation of the risks inherent in BankUnited's loan
portfolio including the economic trends and other conditions in specific
geographic areas as they relate to the nature of BankUnited's portfolio. The
provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 1999 was $0.5
million as compared to $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998. In
connection with management's rigorous review in the second quarter of fiscal
1999 of its loans, a provision of $6.3 million was made to increase the
allowance for loan losses. BankUnited's allowance for loan losses has increased
by a net amount of $6.0 million from $6.1 million as of September 30, 1998 to
$12.1 million as of June 30, 1999. See "Results of Operations-Provision for Loan
Losses."

         The following table sets forth the change in BankUnited's allowance for
loan losses for the three and nine months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998.

</TABLE>

YEAR 2000

         BankUnited utilizes extensive electronic data processing hardware and
software in its banking operations, among other things, to process and record
customer transactions, determine and collect revenue to be earned and expenses
to be paid in connection with customer transactions, maintain and report
customer transaction information, record and manage BankUnited's short-term and
long-term investments, and assist with accounting and financial management and
risk management. BankUnited also relies on certain vendors to provide critical
services to BankUnited's banking operations, including telecommunications, loan
servicing and correspondent banking. Failure of the electronic data processing
hardware or software of BankUnited, its third party service bureaus, or certain
vendors to properly recognize the Year 2000 could result in a significant
disruption of BankUnited's banking operations. Based on the measures already
taken by BankUnited, a significant disruption of its banking operations due to
such a failure is not currently expected because BankUnited is substantially
compliant as of June 30, 1999.

         BankUnited's customer transactions are processed through a network of
electronic data processing workstations in its branch offices and loan servicing
department and are recorded on electronic data processing hardware and software,
a substantial portion of which are maintained by two third-party service
bureaus. BankUnited has conducted Year 2000 compliance tests with the two
third-party service bureaus that handle its data processing and has received
certification that they are Year 2000 compliant. BankUnited has replaced the
majority of its hardware and software used in its operations as necessary for
Year 2000

                                       21

compliance. BankUnited has also received Year 2000 compliance certifications
from its major telecommunications, loan servicing and correspondent banking
vendors. While a portion of BankUnited's financial assets and liabilities are
with commercial businesses and government-sponsored entities, BankUnited's loans
and deposits are primarily with individuals. As a result, BankUnited does not
expect any significant disruptions resulting from customers that may not be Year
2000 compliant.

         BankUnited has designated a Year 2000 task force under the direction of
one of its senior officers, which has identified and coordinated BankUnited's
efforts to become Year 2000 compliant and has developed a Year 2000 contingency
plan. The contingency plan details alternate methods for meeting BankUnited's
data processing needs and cash and liquidity requirements, as well as covering
such matters as the weekend of the date change and monitoring system output
throughout the Year 2000. The contingency plan is expected to be completely
tested by September 30, 1999. BankUnited has also launched an aggressive
customer awareness program, which includes an e-mail address, a toll-free
hotline, a Year 2000 report card and Year 2000 awareness material for our retail
and small business customers.

         Additionally, BankUnited is subject to regulation and supervision by
the Office of Thrift Supervision, the "OTS," which regularly conducts reviews of
the safety and soundness of BankUnited's operations, including BankUnited's
progress in becoming Year 2000 compliant. Failure by BankUnited to adequately
prepare for Year 2000 issues could negatively impact BankUnited's banking
operations resulting in restrictions on its banking operations by the OTS. No
such restrictions exist at this time, nor does BankUnited expect any such
restrictions resulting from failure to address Year 2000 issues.

         BankUnited has estimated the costs associated with becoming Year 2000
compliant to be approximately $1.6 million, exclusive of internal costs, of
which approximately $1.5 million has been incurred through June 30, 1999. The
costs consist of approximately $0.5 million for the replacement of hardware and
software, $0.9 million for the write-off of non-compliant hardware and software
and $0.2 million of other incremental costs. BankUnited does not separately
track the internal costs incurred for the Year 2000 project and such costs are
principally the related payroll costs for its information systems department.

DISCUSSION OF FINANCIAL CONDITION CHANGES FROM SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 TO JUNE 30,
1999 AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999
AND 1998.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

ASSETS

         Total assets remained relatively constant from September 30, 1998 to
June 30, 1999, which is consistent with BankUnited's expectations that assets
will not grow significantly during the 1999 fiscal year.

         BankUnited's short-term investments, primarily consisting of Federal
Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") overnight deposits and securities purchased under
agreements to resell, increased by $168.3 million, or 257.7% to $233.6 million
at June 30, 1999, from $65.3 million at September 30, 1998 due to the purchase
of securities under agreements to resell. These securities were purchased to
invest the unapplied proceeds of BankUnited's borrowings (primarily FHLB
advances and Senior Notes) to maximize earnings while

                                       22

<PAGE>

maintaining liquidity until such time as loans and/or securities of a price and
quality in line with BankUnited's investment strategy become available.

         BankUnited's investment in tax certificates decreased by $21.6 million,
or 54.0%, to $18.4 million at June 30, 1999 from $40.0 million at September 30,
1998, as a result of certificate redemptions and repayments and the decision to
discontinue investing in this line of business.

         Mortgage-backed securities held-to-maturity decreased by $111.6
million, or 76.4% to $34.5 million at June 30, 1999 from $146.1 million at
September 30, 1998 due to repayments and amortization of premiums.

         Mortgage-backed securities available-for-sale increased by $116.7
million or 58.5% to $316.3 million at June 30, 1999, from $199.6 million at
September 30, 1998, due primarily to purchases of $166.2 million, offset by
repayments and amortization of $42.7 million, and also due to a reduction of
$6.8 million in the market value of the underlying securities.

         BankUnited's loans receivable, net (including loans held for sale)
remained relatively constant from September 30, 1998 to June 30, 1999. Mortgage
loan purchases of $683.8 million and loan originations of $479.2 million were
offset by repayments of $1.0 billion (net of accretion of discount and
amortization of premium) and loan sales of $23.3 million. For further discussion
of repayments of loans and mortgage-backed securities, see " Results of
Operations-Net Interest Income," and Item 3, "Quantitative and Qualitative
Disclosures About Market Risk."

         Mortgage loans held for sale increased by $264.3 million, or 153.3%, to
$436.7 million at June 30, 1999 from $172.4 million at September 30, 1998,
principally due to the transfer of $288.3 million of loans from loans
receivable, net in the second quarter of fiscal 1999 and residential loan
originations of $140.4 million. This increase was partially offset by repayments
of $67.3 million, sales of $23.3 million and the transfer to loans receivable,
net in the first quarter of fiscal 1999, of $73.8 million of loans originated in
the prior fiscal year. The transfer of loans to loans receivable, net in the
first quarter resulted from the discontinuation of BankUnited's policy of
selling substantially all of its internally generated residential loans. The
transfer of loans from loans receivable, net in the second quarter resulted from
BankUnited's decision to classify its One-Year CMT purchased mortgage loan
portfolio as held for sale. In the second quarter of fiscal 1999, BankUnited
began to classify the majority of its originated residential loans as loans
receivable, net.

         Other interest earning assets remained relatively constant from
September 30, 1998 to June 30, 1999. This category primarily represents stock in
the FHLB which BankUnited is required to purchase as FHLB advances increase.

         Accrued interest receivable decreased by $7.8 million to $25.1 million
at June 30, 1999 from $32.9 million at September 30, 1998. Prepaid expenses and
other assets decreased by $13.3 million or 33.7% to $26.2 million at June 30,
1999, from $39.5 million at September 30, 1998.

                                       23

<PAGE>

LIABILITIES

         Deposits increased by $103.9 million from September 30, 1998 to June
30, 1999 due to an increase in savings and checking accounts of $126.4 million
and $38.7 million, respectively. This increase was partially offset by a $61.2
million decrease in certificates of deposit resulting from the elimination of
all brokered certificates of deposit. This change in the deposit mix resulted in
a favorable reduction in BankUnited's cost of interest-bearing liabilities to
5.32% for the nine months ended June 30, 1999 from 5.80% for the nine months
ended June 30, 1998.

         Securities sold under agreements to repurchase decreased by $120.4
million, or 99.4%, to $0.7 million at June 30, 1999 from $121.1 million at
September 30, 1998. This decrease resulted from the maturity of the agreements
and the decision of BankUnited's management not to replace the agreements but to
seek longer-term sources of funds to more effectively control BankUnited's cost
of funds and to take advantage of the current low interest rate environment.

         FHLB advances remained relatively constant from September 30, 1998 to
June 30, 1999.

         Senior Notes increased $200.0 million as a result of the issuance and
sale of the Bank's Senior Notes during the second quarter of fiscal 1999. See
Note 6 - "Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Activities" of the Condensed Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements.

CAPITAL

         BankUnited's total stockholders' equity was $188.4 million at June 30,
1999, a decrease of $10.9 million, or 5.5%, from $199.3 million at September 30,
1998. The decrease is due primarily to a $4.7 million decrease in accumulated
other comprehensive income, and a current year net loss, offset, in part, by the
issuance of common stock from stock awards and the exercise of options. See Note
3 - "Comprehensive Income" of the Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.

         In December 1998, the Board of Directors of BankUnited authorized the
purchase from time to time in open market transactions of up to 1,000,000 shares
of BankUnited's Class A Common Stock at such prices as the Executive Committee
deems advantageous. During July and August 1999, BankUnited purchased 100,000
shares of its Class A Common Stock on the open market.

         In May 1999, the Board of Directors of BankUnited authorized the
purchase of shares of the 9% Preferred Stock on the open market, as deemed
appropriate, and, if the market is appropriate, the retirement of the 9%
Preferred Stock. As of the date of filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q,
BankUnited had not yet purchased any shares of its 9% Preferred Stock.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

         Net income after preferred stock dividends increased to $3.1 million
for the three months ended June 30, 1999, compared to $1.2 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1998. For the nine months ended June 30, 1999, net income
after preferred stock dividends decreased to a loss of $7.8 million from net
income after preferred stock dividends of $4.9 million for the nine months ended
June 30, 1998. Below is a more detailed discussion of each major category of
income and expenses. The increase in net income after preferred stock dividends
for the three months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to the prior year period
was attributable to an increase in the interest rate spread to 1.62% for the
three months ended June 30, 1999 from 0.75% for the prior year period. The
primary reasons for the decline in net income after preferred stock dividends
for the nine month period ended June 30, 1999 were (i) the accelerated
amortization of purchase premiums on the One-Year CMT loan portfolio and a
related security recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 due to the high
level of prepayments; (ii) the write-off of purchase premiums on the One-Year
CMT loan portfolio, and the continuing acceleration of amortization of purchase
premiums on a related security in the second quarter of fiscal 1999; (iii) the
provision for loan losses in the second quarter resulting from the re-evaluation
of the loan portfolio; (iv) the provision for tax certificate losses in the
second quarter resulting from the increase in nonperforming tax certificates and
the decision to discontinue investing in this asset; and (v) other miscellaneous
charges in the second quarter including costs associated with becoming year 2000
compliant. See "Significant Developments for the Three and Nine Months Ended
June 30, 1999- Analysis of Net Interest Income," "-Second Quarter Restructuring
Charges" and "-Asset Quality."

NET INTEREST INCOME

         Net interest income before provision for loan losses increased by $7.7
million, or 93.9%, to $15.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999
from $8.2 million for the same prior year period. For the nine months ended June
30, 1999, net interest income was $27.5 million compared to $28.9 million for
the same period in 1998, a decrease of $1.4 million, or 4.8%.

         The increase in net interest income for the three months ended June 30,
1999 was primarily the result of the improved net interest margin to 1.76% from
1.00% for the same prior year period. For the three months ended June 30, 1999,
the increase in the net interest margin was due to an increase in the yield on
interest-earning assets to 6.82% from 6.57% for the same period in 1998,
primarily attributable to the higher yields on the loans originated by
BankUnited, and a 62 basis point decrease in the cost of interest-bearing
liabilities to 5.20% from 5.82% for the same period in 1998.

         The decrease in net interest income for the nine months ended June 30,
1999 was primarily the result of the accelerated amortization of purchase
premiums on the One-Year CMT loan portfolio and a related security recorded in
the first quarter of fiscal 1999 and the $14.8 million charge in the second
quarter of fiscal 1999 related to the One-Year CMT loan portfolio and a related
security. See "Significant Developments for the Three and Nine Months Ended June
30, 1999-Second Quarter Restructuring Charges." This charge contributed to the
reduction of the net interest margin to 1.02% for the nine months ended June 30,
1999, compared to 1.34% for the same prior year period. For the nine months
ended June 30, 1999, the decrease in the net interest margin was due to a
decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets to 6.19% (6.95% prior to
accelerated amortization of purchase premiums in the first quarter of fiscal
1999 and the $14.8 million charge in the second quarter of fiscal 1999) from
6.88% for the same period in 1998, primarily

                                       25

<PAGE>

attributable to the lower yields on the loans purchased, partially offset by a
basis 48 point decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities to 5.32%
from 5.80% for the same period in 1998.

         Interest income for the three months ended June 30, 1999 was $61.6
million, compared to $53.7 million for the same prior year period, an increase
of $7.9 million, or 14.7%. For the nine months ended June 30, 1999, interest
income was $168.0 million compared to $148.4 million for the same prior year
period in 1998, an increase of $19.6 million, or 13.2%.

         The results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 1998
reflect the accelerated amortization of premiums on purchased loans and
mortgage-backed securities. The amortization of premiums, net of discounts and
deferred origination costs, increased from $1.0 million for the three months
ended December 31, 1997 to $6.1 million for the same period in fiscal 1999. The
increase in premium amortization was a result of the high level of loan
prepayments experienced in the first quarter of fiscal 1999. The results of
operations for the three months ended March 31, 1999 include the $14.8 million
charge and $0.2 million of other amortization for a total reduction to interest
income of $15.0 million. The results of operations for the three months ended
June 30, 1999 include $1.3 million of amortization compared to $2.7 million for
the same period in fiscal 1998. The decrease is the result of the reduction in
the level of prepayments and the charge in the second quarter of fiscal 1999 to
reduce the carrying value of the purchased One-Year CMT portfolio to the lower
of cost or market. The decrease in interest income due to these net reductions
was offset by an increase in the average balance of loans receivable, which
increased by $364.1 million or 14.1% and $570.2 million or 23.58%, for the three
and nine months periods ended June 30, 1999, as compared to the same prior year
period, which resulted primarily from purchases of residential loans in the
secondary mortgage market. See "Significant Developments for the Three and Nine
Months Ended June 30, 1999-Second Quarter Restructuring Charges" and "-Analysis
of Net Interest Income."

         As a result of the $14.8 million charge, the yield on loans and the
yield on mortgage-backed securities declined from 6.94% and 6.64% for the nine
months ended June 30, 1998, to 6.36% and 5.03% for the nine months ended June
30, 1999. This 58 and 161 basis point drop in the yields earned on loans and
mortgage-backed securities was a significant factor in the decline of the yield
on interest earning assets. As of June 30, 1999, BankUnited had no premiums
remaining on the One-Year CMT loans, $7.5 million of premiums, net of discounts,
remaining on other purchased loans and $50,000 of premiums remaining on a
mortgage-backed security related to the securitization of a pool of BankUnited's
purchased loans. See "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market
Risk."

         Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 1999 was $45.7
million compared to $45.5 million for the same prior year period, an increase of
$0.2 million, or 0.4%. Interest expense for the nine months ended June 30, 1999
was $140.4 million compared to $119.5 million for the same prior year period, an
increase of $20.9 million, or 17.5%. The increases reflect significant increases
in the average balance for interest-bearing deposits and trust preferred
securities during the period. There was an increase in average interest-bearing
deposits of $0.3 billion and $0.6 billion to $2.2 billion and $2.2 billion for
the three and nine months ended June 30, 1999, from $1.9 billion and $1.6
billion for the same prior year periods. Average trust preferred securities
remained unchanged at $218.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999 as
compared to the prior year period. For the nine months ended June 30, 1999,
average trust preferred securities increased to $218.5 million from $158.1
million for the same prior year period. Average FHLB advances and other
borrowings remained relatively constant at $1.1 billion and $1.1 billion for the
three and nine months ended June 30, 1999, compared to $1.0 billion and $1.0
billion for the same prior year periods. The increase in interest expense was
partially offset by a decline in the average cost of interest-bearing

                                       26

<PAGE>

liabilities, due to decline in market interest rates over the recent year . For
the three months ended June 30, 1999, the average rate paid on interest-bearing
liabilities decreased 62 basis points to 5.20% from 5.82% for the same prior
year period. For the nine months ended June 30, 1999, the average rate paid on
interest-bearing liabilities decreased 48 basis points to 5.32% from 5.80% for
the nine months ended June 30, 1998. See "Significant Developments for the Three
and Nine Months Ended June 30, 1999-Analysis of Net Interest Income."

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

         The provision for loan losses increased to $0.5 million and $7.2
million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 1999, compared to $0.3
million and $1.4 million for the same prior year periods. Included in the $7.2
million provision is a $6.3 million provision recorded in the second quarter of
fiscal 1999 as a result of management's review of interest earning assets. The
provision recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 1999 relates to one-to-four
family residential mortgage loans ($2.1 million), commercial mortgage loans
($2.7 million) and other loans ($1.5 million). In connection with the review of
interest-earning assets, management conducted a rigorous review of the loan
portfolio, which included a systematic and detailed evaluation of the estimated
loss exposure in BankUnited's loan portfolio in light of the economic trends and
other conditions in specific geographic areas as they relate to the nature of
BankUnited's portfolio. Management utilized historical loan loss experience
(including a detailed state-by-state analysis) and current trends in
delinquencies and charge-offs in order to determine the adequacy of the
allowance for loan losses; as a result of this review, some of the loss
presumptions in determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses were
revised in the second quarter of fiscal 1999. Additionally, the decision was
made to discontinue indirect consumer lending. See "Significant Developments for
the Three and Nine Months Ended June 30, 1999-Asset Quality."

         Also, during the second quarter of fiscal 1999, management performed a
detailed re-evaluation of the non-performing commercial loans. For these loans,
an estimated value of the property or collateral securing the loan is determined
through an appraisal, where possible. In instances where BankUnited has not
taken possession of the property or does not otherwise have access to the
premises and therefore cannot obtain an appraisal, a real estate broker's
opinion as to the value of the property is obtained based primarily on a
drive-by inspection. If the unpaid balance of the loan is greater than the
estimated fair value of the property, reduced by estimated costs to dispose of
the property, a reserve is established for the difference between the carrying
value and the estimated fair value.

         Other non-performing loans such as non-mortgage commercial loans are
evaluated individually as well. For these loans, a determination is made of the
value of the collateral, if any, through examination of current financial
information. If the unpaid balance of the loan is greater than estimated fair
value of the property, reduced by estimated costs to dispose of the property, a
reserve is established for the difference between the carrying value and the
estimated fair value.

         General valuation allowances are also established on all classes of the
performing portfolio and represent loss allowances that have been established to
recognize the unspecified losses inherent in the loan portfolio.

         The above-described method of establishing an adequate provision for
the allowance for loan losses inherently lacks precision. Because of the many
factors that can affect recoverability, the estimated loss on an individual loan
or pool of loans may not be the same as the ultimate loss, if any, actually
sustained.

                                       27

<PAGE>

BankUnited's goal, therefore, is to determine a provision (and an allowance for
losses) that in the aggregate is reasonable in the context of BankUnited's loan
portfolio and financial condition taken as a whole.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

         Non-interest income decreased to $1.2 million and $3.7 million for the
three and nine months ended June 30, 1999, compared to $2.5 million and $5.2
million for the same prior year periods. The results reflect an increase in net
service fee income and other non-interest income, offset by a decrease in income
related to a reduction in the sales of loans and mortgage-backed securities.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSES

         Non-interest expenses increased to $11.1 million and $35.3 million for
the three and nine months ended June 30, 1999, compared to $8.1 million and
$23.2 million for the same prior year periods. Included in the increase in
non-interest expenses is the expenses incurred in the second quarter of fiscal
1999 for the additional provision for tax certificate losses of $1.1 million,
$1.0 million of expenses related to Year 2000 compliance and $1.0 million of
miscellaneous other charges. See "Significant Developments for the Three and
Nine Months Ended June 30, 1999-Second Quarter Restructuring Charges." The
remaining increase in expenses is attributable to the growth BankUnited has
experienced, including the additional costs relating to the acquisitions of
Consumers Bancorp, Inc. and Central Bank during the second and third quarters,
respectively, of the 1998 fiscal year and the opening of two additional branches
this fiscal year. Total non-interest expenses, as a percentage of average
assets, increased from 0.95% and 1.04% for the three and nine months ended June
30, 1998, to 1.19% and 1.25% for the same periods in 1999 as a result of the
additional charges.

INCOME TAXES

         The income tax provision increased to $2.2 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1999 from $0.9 million for the prior year period due to the
higher pre-tax earnings during the three months ended June 30, 1999 as compared
to the prior year period. The income tax provision decreased to a net benefit of
$4.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 1999, compared to a net expense
of $3.8 million for the same prior year period. This decrease was due to
BankUnited's lower pre-tax earnings during the nine months ended June 30, 1999,
compared to the same prior year period, partially offset by the increase in the
effective income tax rate due to the effect of non-deductible goodwill.

PREFERRED STOCK DIVIDENDS

         Preferred stock dividends remained relatively constant at $0.2 million
for the three months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998. Preferred stock dividends
decreased to $0.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 1999, as compared
to $0.7 million for the same prior year period. The decrease was the result of
the retirement in January 1998 of the Noncumulative Convertible Preferred Stock,
Series 1993, partially offset by the issuance of shares of Noncumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B in October 1997 and April 1998.

ITEM 3.           QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

         The discussion contained in BankUnited's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended September 30, 1998, under Item 7a, "Quantitative and Qualitative
Disclosures about Market Risk," provides detailed quantitative and qualitative
disclosures about market risk and should be referenced for information thereon.
In addition, the following discussion addresses the sources and effects of
developments during the nine months ended June 30, 1999 which related to
refinancing risks and risks associated with investments and mortgage-backed
securities.

         REFINANCING RISKS. A significant portion of BankUnited's loans
receivable are single-family residential mortgages that generally have an
imbedded option that allows the borrower to prepay the loan at any time without
penalty. A substantial portion of these loans have been purchased by BankUnited
in the secondary mortgage market at a premium.

         In the current interest rate environment, when long-term interest rates
are generally low on a historical basis and the spread between short-term rates
and long-term rates is relatively narrow, prepayments of adjustable rate
mortgage ("ARM") loans and higher fixed-rate mortgages tend to accelerate.
BankUnited's results of operations for the first quarter of fiscal 1999 reflect
the accelerated amortization of premiums on purchased loans and mortgage-backed
securities. The amortization of premiums, net of discounts and deferred
origination costs, increased from $1.0 million for the three months ended
December 31, 1997 to $6.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 1998
as a result of such prepayments. BankUnited continued to experience high levels
of prepayments in the second quarter of fiscal 1999, the effects of which are
included in the $14.8 million charge to write-off the remaining purchase
premiums on the One-Year CMT loan portfolio and to record the continuing
accelerated amortization of purchase premiums on a related security. See
"Significant Developments for the Three and Nine Months Ended June 30,
1999-Second Quarter Restructuring Charges." During the third quarter of fiscal
1999, long-term interest rates rose slightly resulting in a significant decrease
in the level of loan prepayments. As a result of the decline in prepayments and
the reduction in the balance of premiums to amortize due to the charge in the
second quarter of fiscal 1999, the amortization of premiums, net of discounts
and deferred originations costs decreased from $2.7 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1998 to $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999. As
a result of the premium amortization, the yield on loans and mortgage-backed
securities declined from 6.94% and 6.64%, respectively, for the nine months
ended June 30, 1998 to 6.36% and 5.03%, respectively, for the nine months ended
June 30, 1999. This 58 and 161 basis point drop in the yields earned on loans
and mortgage-backed securities was a significant factor in the decline of the
yield on interest earning assets.

         In addition, at June 30, 1999, $358.1 million of BankUnited's ARMs had
teaser rates, which will be subject to interest rate adjustments within the next
twelve months. Teaser rate loans may tend to be prepaid near the end of the
teaser period creating higher levels of prepayments on loans overall which
BankUnited may not be able to reinvest quickly enough and at sufficient interest
rates to mitigate the effect on its net interest margin.

         Premiums, net of discounts and deferred origination costs, which at
June 30, 1999 were $15.0 million, including $7.6 million of premiums on
purchased loans and a mortgage-backed security related to the securitization of
a pool of BankUnited's purchased loans, are recognized as a reduction to
interest income using the interest method over the contractual life of the loans
adjusted for estimated prepayments, based on BankUnited's historical prepayment
experience. As prepayments accelerate, BankUnited's historical prepayment
experience changes, resulting in a shortening of the estimated life of the loan
portfolio, and an increase in the rate at which premiums are expensed, resulting
in a greater reduction in interest income. Accelerated prepayments could,
therefore, have a material adverse effect on BankUnited's results of

                                       29

operations. BankUnited's exposure to increased amortization of premiums from
continued prepayments has been significantly reduced due to the write-off of
purchase premiums on the One-Year CMT loan portfolio and a related security and
the recent rise in long-term interest rates.

         BankUnited has reviewed its practice of purchasing mortgage loans in
the secondary market, particularly ARM loans, and has turned its focus to
originating its own loans. This change is expected to mitigate the effect of the
accelerated amortization of premiums which continued throughout the first two
quarters of fiscal 1999 and has declined in the third quarter of fiscal 1999.
BankUnited continues to purchase fixed and adjustable-rate loans, except
One-Year CMT loans. The purchase of fixed-rate loans due to their longer terms
could increase BankUnited's sensitivity to increases in market rates of interest
and, therefore, could have an adverse effect on BankUnited's net interest
margin.

         RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH INVESTMENTS AND MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES.
BankUnited purchases fixed and adjustable rate mortgage-backed securities and
other securities for liquidity, yield and risk management purposes. Changes in
market interest rates associated with BankUnited's investments and
mortgage-backed securities could have a material adverse effect on BankUnited's
carrying value of its securities. Such changes in the carrying value would be
reflected as a component of stockholder's equity. See Note 5 "Comprehensive
Income."
