                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
                              SEPTEMBER 30, 1998

GENERAL:

     The information contained in this report is furnished for the Registrant,
Bresler & Reiner, Inc., and its subsidiaries referred to collectively as the
"Company".  In the opinion of Management, the information in this report
reflects all adjustments of a normal recurring nature which are necessary to
present a fair statement of the results for the interim period shown.

     The financial information presented herein should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements included in the Registrant's Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1997 as filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

     Certain reclassifications have been made in prior years' financial 
statements to conform to the classification used in the current year.

 
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

     During 1990 and 1989, the Company purchased limited partnership interests
in partnerships. The interests acquired range from 79% to 99%. The partnerships
generate low income housing tax credits. Capital contributions by the Company
are payable in annual installments for ten years. The Company will no longer be
liable for additional capital contributions to some of these partnerships after
1999 and the remainder after the year 2000.  The amount of projected
contributions are to be adjusted annually. The Company estimates that it will
have sufficient funds for required  capital contributions.

     At September 30, 1998, the Company had approximately $1,930,000 of
outstanding letters of credit for land improvements in housing projects that it
is developing.

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

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

     Sales of Homes and Lots. 26 homes and no lots were settled in the first
     -----------------------
nine months of 1998 as compared with 25 homes and two lots in the same period of
1997. Net Home Sales was $76,000 in the first nine months of 1998 as compared to
$242,000 for the same period of 1997 or a decrease of 68.60%. The decrease is
caused by the highly competitive market place for new homes in the area. In the
third quarter of 1998, 11 homes and no lots were settled versus 7 homes and one
lot in the same period of 1997.

     Registrant's backlog of homes under contract of sale as of September 30 was
27 in 1998 versus 30 in 1997. Registrant generally receives a deposit of $500 to
$2,000 which may be forfeited if the buyer terminates the agreement.

     Rentals - Apartments: Income and Expenses. Rental income from apartments
     ------------------------------------------                              
was $1,881,000 in the first nine months of 1998, an increase of 6.70% over
$1,763,000 for the same period in 1997. Income for the third quarter of 1998 was
$627,000, an increase of 4.20% over $602,000 for the like period in 1997.
Expenses for the first nine months of 1998 were $1,113,000 as compared to
$1,138,000 in 1997, a 2.2% decrease.  Expenses for the third quarter of 1998
were consistent with the third quarter of 1997.

     Rentals - Commercial: Income and Expenses. Rental income from commercial
     ------------------------------------------                              
operations was $8,532,000 in the first nine months of 1998 as compared to
$8,965,000 for the same period in 1997 or a decrease of 4.80%. Income for the
third quarter of 1998 decreased by 9.70% over the same period in 1997. The
decrease is primarily due to a reduction in rent from one of the Registrant's
office buildings. The rent reduction is in lieu of tenant construction
allowances. Additionally, the lease for this building has been extended for an
additional ten year period effective January 1, 1999. As consideration for the
ten year lease, the rental rate will be reduced to current market. Expenses for
the first nine months of 1998 were $3,211,000 as compared to $3,205,000 in 1997.
Expenses for the third quarter of 1998 were consistent with the third quarter of
1997.

     Hotel Income and Hotel Expense.  Hotel Income and Hotel Expense reflect the
     ------------     --------------

ended September 30, as follows:

The 1998 Colonnade operations reflects an increase of 3.70% in room occupancy
and an increase of 5.30% in average daily room rates over the same period in
1997. The 1998 Holiday Inn Express results reflects an increase of 40.70% in
room occupancy and and increase of 11.80% in average daily room rates as
compared to the same period in 1997 due in part to the completion of the
renovation and conversion to a Holiday Inn Express.


      Interest  Affiliates: The increase in 1998 reflects the interest received
      ---------------------                                                    
by Registrant on one of its partnership's commercial properties. "See Mortgage
Loans Payable".
 
      Gain on Sale of Realty Interests.  The 1998 results reflect the profit on
      ---------------------------------                                        
the sale of one of Registrant's convenience stores in the amount of $64,000 and
the amortization of the deferred gains from prior years' Sale of Realty
Interests. The 1997 results reflect the profit on the sale of a parcel of land
in Montgomery County, MD in the amount of $187,000.

      Income for Equity Investments.  The 1998 results reflects the profit from
      ------------------------------                                           
the sale of transportation equipment owned by Tech-High Leasing Company, in
which Registrant holds a 50% interest.

      Interest Expense.  The l998 reduction in interest expense reflects the
      -----------------                                                     
1997 payoff of the Waterside Mall East mortgage loan and the February 1998
payoff of the Holiday Inn mortgage loan.

      Reserve for Advances to Partnerships.  Effective in 1997, Registrant
      -------------------------------------                               
determined that cash advances to a partnership operating at a loss are accounted
for as a cost to the Company.  In February 1998, Registrant paid off the first
trust mortgage on this property. This resulted in an increase in the Reserve.

Assets and Liabilities
----------------------
 
      Investments.  The increase is the result of additional cash investment in
      ------------                                                             
short term Treasury instruments.

      Mortgage Loans Payable.  During the second quarter of 1998, Registrant
      -----------------------                                               
purchased the mortgage loan on one of its partnership's commercial properties.
The loan and the corresponding receivable are being eliminated in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles.  As of September 30, 1998, there
were two non-recourse mortgages on Registrant's properties in the amount of
$5,174,000 and $2,001,000 totaling $7,175,000.

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

  Registrant continues to fund its obligations out of current cash flow.  There
is no assurance that Registrant will be able to meet all 
<PAGE>
 
of its needs out of cash flow or that additional funding will be available to
Registrant if needed.

     During the nine month period ended September 30, l998, cash flow from
operating, investing and financing activities decreased by  $2,743,000.
Registrant generated cash flow of $10,101,000 from operating activities.  Cash
flow from operating activities and accumulated cash equivalents were used to
fund Registrant's investments in low income housing partnerships and the
purchase of US Treasury instruments. $8,492,000 was used for the repayment of
property mortgages and the purchase of a mortgage loan.

Registrant estimates it will require substantial cash for capital improvements,
tenant fit up, leasing fees and allowances as the result of the expiration in
the year 2002 of the GSA lease in the Waterside Mall property.  Without a major
tenant for the space that will be vacated, it may not be possible to finance the
project. Consequently, Registrant must be prepared to finance these anticipated
costs from its cash reserves.
