Part II - RULES 12b-25(b) and (c)

If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense
and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following
should be completed. (Check box if appropriate)

[X] (a) The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form
        could not be eliminated without reasonable effort or expense;

[ ] (b) The subject annual report semi-annual report, transition report on 
        Form 10-K, Form 20-F, 11-K or Form N-SAR, or portion thereof will be 
        filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed 
        due date; or the subject quarterly report or transition report on 
        Form 10-Q, or portion thereof will be filed on or before the fifth 
        calendar day following the prescribed due date; and

[ ] (c) The accountant's statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-25(c)
        has been attached if applicable.

Part III - NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q,
N-SAR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within
the prescribed time period.

           On August 8, 1997, a proposed transaction, pursuant to which
           BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. ("BankAtlantic") was to acquire a
           controlling interest in the Company, was terminated. Prior to that
           date, BankAtlantic had indicated that it desired that new management
           oversee the preparation of the Company's Quarterly Report on Form
           10-Q for the period ended June 30, 1997. The termination of the
           transaction on August 8, 1997 left the Company with insufficient time
           to compile the requisite financial and other information necessary to
           complete the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q by August 14,
           1997 without unreasonable effort or expense. This is primarily
           because the Company has determined that it must conduct a revaluation
           of its land inventory and certain investment assets in order to
           calculate their net realizable value. The Company anticipates that
           the revaluation will result in a significant write down in the value
           of its assets. The Company expects to complete its analysis and file
           its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q by August 22, 1997.

Part IV - OTHER INFORMATION


(1)  Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this 
     notification

(2)  Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the
     Securities Exchange Act of 1934 of Section 30 of the Investment Company Act
     of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the
     registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no
     identify report(s). [X]  Yes  [ ]  No

(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations
    from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be 
    reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject 
    report or portion thereof?  [X]  Yes  [ ]  No

    If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both
    narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons
    why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

         Please refer to the Company's response to Part III above. Until the
         revaluation described therein is completed, the Company is unable to
         ascertain or estimate the amount of any change in results of
         operations.
