                 BF ENTERPRISES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

                NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


Note A - Interim Financial Information

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of BF Enterprises, Inc. 
(the "Company") and its subsidiaries have been prepared pursuant to the rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and, in
management's opinion, include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation
for the interim period reported.  Certain information and note disclosures
normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to SEC rules or regulations.  It is suggested that these financial
statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes
thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1995.

Note B - Real Estate Rental Property

Real estate rental property is an office and manufacturing building and
underlying 16 acres of land in Tempe, Arizona, leased to Bank One, Arizona, NA.
On January 1, 1996, the Company began amortizing on a straight-line basis
(1) income from the lease with Bank One, resulting in annual real estate rental
income of $1,815,000 for the period ending February 28, 2005, and (2) a related
lease commission with annual amortization expense of $46,000 over the
same period.

Note C - Real Estate Inventory Held for Current Sale and Land
         Held for Future Development

Real estate inventory held for current sale and land held for future
development consists primarily of approximately 580 acres in the Company's
master-planned, mixed use development known as Meadow Pointe near Tampa,
Florida.  The parcels within this project are in various stages of development.
Parcels on which the Company has completed substantially all of its development
activities are considered to be held for current sale.  Parcels on which
development is not yet complete are considered to be held for future
development. These assets were carried at a cost of $10,039,000 at
September 30, 1996 and $9,446,000 at December 31, 1995, which the Company
believes was less than their fair value.

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


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

   Net income of $555,000 and $1,675,000, respectively, in the three months
and nine months ended September 30, 1996, included gains of $342,000 and
$1,199,000 from sales of property within the Company's Meadow Pointe project
near Tampa, Florida and $94,000 in gains from securities.  In the three months
and nine months ended September 30, 1995, net income was $80,000 and $432,000
and included gains of $311,000 and $1,198,000, respectively, from sales of
Meadow Pointe property.  The Company sold 206 developed residential lots at
Meadow Pointe during the nine months ended September 30, 1996, which
represented a 31% increase over the number of lots sold during the same period
of 1995.  Revenues from real estate rental and mortgage interest increased from
$84,000 and $258,000, respectively, in the three months and nine months ended
September 30, 1995, to $459,000 and $1,372,000 in the same periods of 1996
(see below).

   The Company's reported gains from property sales at Meadow Pointe are based
in part upon estimates of the total revenues and costs to be derived by the
Company over the life of the project.  The Company periodically reviews these
estimates and makes cumulative adjustments to reflect any revised estimates.
Property sales at Meadow Pointe are dependent upon, among other things, the
strength of the general economy in the Tampa area, residential mortgage
interest rates, competitive residential developments serving the same group of
home buyers and other factors related to the local Tampa real estate market.

   In addition to Meadow Pointe residential lot sales activity, real estate
revenue in the three months ended September 30, 1995, included revenue of
$804,000 from the one-time sale of a commercial building and underlying
property in Edina, Minnesota.  The cost of real estate sold attributable to
the Edina property was $831,000, which included a $48,000 discount of the
$680,000 note received in the transaction.  Results for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995, also included aggregate revenue and cost of $216,000 and
$205,000, respectively, for lots in a residential development adjacent to
Meadow Pointe and a model home within the Meadow Pointe project.  There were no
such revenues or costs in the comparable periods of 1996.

   Real estate rental income and mortgage loan interest in the three months
and nine months ended September 30, 1996, was more than five times what it was
in the same periods of 1995, primarily as a result of the execution of a new


                                      9
<PAGE>

lease of the Company's Tempe, Arizona property.  Depreciation and amortization
expense nearly doubled in the 1996 periods compared to the same periods of 1995
due to the amortization of a commission related to the new lease which
commenced on March 1, 1995.  Real estate operating expenses in the nine months
ended September 30, 1995 included costs of $124,000 for property taxes,
insurance and certain other operating expenses related to the new lease which
did not recur in the comparable 1996 period and are not expected to recur in
subsequent periods.

   Interest and dividends from investments accounted for $69,000 and $205,000
of revenues in the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1996,
respectively, and $38,000 and $140,000 in the comparable periods in 1995.
The increase in 1996 was due to an increase in the amount of funds available
for investment.
 
   General and administrative expenses in the three months and nine months
ended September 30, 1996 were, respectively, $38,000 and $133,000 higher than
in the comparable periods in 1995, due principally to higher employee
compensation and benefits expenses.

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

   During the nine months ended September 30, 1996 cash, cash equivalents and
marketable securities increased by $866,000.  On July 3, 1996 the Company
received $610,000 from the payoff of a note secured by a commercial building
and underlying land in Edina, Minnesota. The Company received the note in
connection with the sale of this property in July 1995 (see above).

   At September 30, 1996 the Company held $6,072,000 in cash, cash equivalents
and marketable securities as compared to $2,963,000 for all short-term and
long-term liabilities. From time to time the Company purchases shares of its
common stock primarily in the open market (see Note E of Notes to Financial
Statements).

   The Company's business plan calls for substantial expenditures during the
next several years relating to the planned development of Meadow Pointe.  The
Company anticipates that these expenditures will be financed primarily through
the issuance of capital improvement revenue bonds by a community development
district.
