Through its control of Levitt, BFC has indirect controlling interests in Levitt and Sons, LLC and its subsidiaries (“Levitt and Sons”) and Core Communities, LLC and its subsidiaries (“Core Communities”) and an indirect non-controlling interest in Bluegreen Corporation (“Bluegreen”). BFC also holds a direct non-controlling investment in Benihana, Inc. (“Benihana”). As a result of the Company’s position as the controlling stockholder of BankAtlantic Bancorp, the Company is a “unitary savings bank holding company” regulated by the Office of Thrift Supervision.

BFC itself has no operations other than activities relating to the monitoring of existing investments and the identification, analysis and in appropriate cases, the acquisition of new investments, as well as the monitoring of existing investments. BFC has no independent sources of cash-flow from operations except to the extent dividends, management fees and similar cash payments are made to BFC by its subsidiaries and investment holdings. BFC does not currently collect management or other fees and the dividends paid to BFC do not currently cover BFC’s ongoing operating expenses. Therefore, BFC’s stand-alone activities currently generate a loss.

On June 20, 2006 the Company announced that its Class A Common Stock was approved for listing on the NYSE Arca exchange (“NYSE Arca”) under the symbol “BFF” and on June 22, 2006, the Company commenced trading on the NYSE Arca. From April 2003 through June 19, 2006, BFC’s Class A Common Stock was traded on the NASDAQ National Market.

In December 2005, I.R.E. BMOC, Inc. (“BMOC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of BFC, transferred its shopping center to its lender in full settlement of the mortgage note collateralized by the center. The financial results of BMOC are reported as discontinued operations in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 144, Accounting for the Impairment of Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. There was no activity related to BMOC for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006.

As a holding company with controlling positions in BankAtlantic Bancorp and Levitt, generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) require BFC to consolidate the financial results of these companies. As a consequence, the assets and liabilities of both entities are presented on a consolidated basis in BFC’s financial statements. However, except as otherwise noted, the debts and obligations of BankAtlantic Bancorp and Levitt are not direct obligations of BFC and are non-recourse to BFC. Similarly, the assets of those entities are not available to BFC absent a dividend or distribution. The recognition by BFC of income from controlled entities is determined based on the percentage of its economic ownership in those entities. As shown below, BFC’s economic ownership in BankAtlantic Bancorp and Levitt is 21.6% and 16.6%, respectively, which results in BFC recognizing 21.6% and 16.6% of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s and Levitt’s net income or loss, respectively. The portion of income or loss in those subsidiaries not attributable to our economic ownership interests is classified in our financial statements as “noncontrolling interest” and is subtracted from income before income taxes to arrive at consolidated net income in our financial statements.

BFC’s ownership in BankAtlantic Bancorp and Levitt as of June 30, 2006 was as follows:


						Percent
	Shares		Percent of			of
	Owned		Ownership			Vote
BankAtlantic Bancorp
Class A Common Stock		8,329,236		14.78	%		7.84	%

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement have been included. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2006. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the statement presentation for 2006.

BankAtlantic performed a review of the classification of its loan participations in its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005. Based on the review, BankAtlantic concluded that certain loan participations should have been accounted for as secured borrowings instead of participations sold. As a consequence, participations aggregating approximately $165.4 million that were previously recorded as participations sold, and the related revenues, expenses and cash flows, were corrected in the Company’s June 30, 2005 financial statements to reflect such amount as loans receivable and secured borrowings. Effective April 1, 2006, the loan participation agreements were amended which resulted in approximately $111.8 million of the affected loan participations being accounted for as loan sales with a corresponding reduction in secured borrowings.

Allowance for Loan Losses - The allowance for loan losses reflects management’s estimate of probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolios. Loans are charged off against the allowance when management believes the loan is not collectible. Recoveries are credited to the allowance.

The allowance consists of two components. The first component of the allowance is for high-balance “non-homogenous” loans that are individually evaluated for impairment. The process for identifying loans to be evaluated individually for impairment is based on management’s identification of classified loans. Once an individual loan is found to be impaired, a valuation allowance is assigned to the loan based on one of the following three methods: (1) present value of expected future cash flows, (2) fair value of collateral less costs to sell, or (3) observable market price. Non-homogenous loans that are not impaired are assigned an allowance based on common characteristics with homogenous loans.

The second component of the allowance is for “homogenous loans” in which groups of loans with common characteristics are evaluated to estimate the inherent losses in the portfolio. Homogenous loans have certain characteristics that are common to the entire portfolio so as to form a basis for estimating losses as it relates to the group. Management segregates homogenous loans into groups such as residential real estate, small business mortgage, small business non-mortgage, low-balance commercial loans, certain unimpaired non-homogenous loans and various types of consumer loans. The allowance for homogenous loans has a quantitative amount and a qualitative amount. The methodology for the quantitative component is based on a three year charge-off history by loan type adjusted by an expected recovery rate. A three year period was considered a reasonable time frame to track a loan’s performance from the event of loss through the recovery period. The methodology for the qualitative component is determined by considering the following factors:

	•		Delinquency and charge-off levels and trends;

	•		Problem loans and non-accrual levels and trends;

	•		Lending policy and underwriting procedures;

	•		Lending management and staff;

	•		Nature and volume of portfolio;

	•		Economic and business conditions;

	•		Concentration of credit;

	•		Quality of loan review system; and

	•		External factors

Based on an analysis of the above factors a qualitative dollar amount is assigned to each homogenous loan product. These dollar amounts are adjusted, if necessary, at period end based on directional adjustments by each category.

The unassigned component that was part of the Company’s allowance for loan losses in prior periods was calculated based on the entire loan portfolio considering the above factors and was incorporated into the qualitative components of homogenous loans described above.

2. Segment Reporting

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in assessing performance and deciding how to allocate resources. Reportable segments consist of one or more operating segments with similar economic characteristics, products and services, production processes, type of customer, distribution system and regulatory environment.

The information provided for Segment Reporting is based on internal reports utilized by management. The presentation and allocation of assets and results of operations may not reflect the actual economic costs of the segments as stand alone businesses. If a different basis of allocation were utilized, the relative contributions of the segments might differ but the relative trends in segments would, in management’s view, likely not be impacted.

The Company is currently organized into three reportable segments: BFC Activities; Financial Services; and Homebuilding & Real Estate Development.

The following summarizes the aggregation of the Company’s operating segments into reportable segments:

BFC Activities

This segment includes all of the operations and all of the assets owned by BFC other than BankAtlantic Bancorp and its subsidiaries and Levitt and its subsidiaries. This segment includes BFC’s real estate owned, loans receivable that relate to previously owned properties, its investment in Benihana convertible preferred stock and other securities and investments, BFC’s overhead and interest expense and the financial results of venture partnerships which BFC controls. This segment includes BFC’s provision for income taxes including the tax provision related to the Company’s interest in the earnings of BankAtlantic Bancorp and Levitt. BankAtlantic Bancorp and Levitt are consolidated in our financial statements, as described earlier. The Company’s earnings or losses in BankAtlantic Bancorp and Levitt are included in our Financial Services and Homebuilding & Real Estate Development segment, respectively.

Financial Services

Our Financial Services segment includes BankAtlantic Bancorp and its subsidiaries’ operations, including the operations of BankAtlantic and Ryan Beck. BankAtlantic’s activities consist of a broad range of banking operations including community banking, commercial lending and bank investments. Also included in this segment is a broad range of investment banking and brokerage operations by Ryan Beck, and BankAtlantic Bancorp’s operations, costs of acquisitions and financing activities.

Homebuilding & Real Estate Development

Our Homebuilding & Real Estate Development segment includes Levitt Corporation and its subsidiaries’ operations, including the operations of Levitt and Sons and Core Communities, as well as Levitt’s investment in Bluegreen. This segment includes Levitt’s homebuilding activities, land development of master planned communities, development of industrial and residential properties and investments in other real estate ventures.

The accounting policies of the segments are generally the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. Inter-company transactions are eliminated for consolidated presentation. The Company evaluates segment performance based on income (loss) from continuing operations after tax and noncontrolling interest.

The table below is segment information for income from continuing operations, after tax and noncontrolling interest, for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 (in thousands):

3. Stock Based Compensation

BFC

The Company has a stock based compensation plan (the “2005 Incentive Plan”) under which restricted unvested stock, incentive stock options and non-qualifying stock options are awarded to officers, directors and employees. The Company’s previous plan expired in 2004 and no future grants can be made under that plan; however, any previously issued options granted under that plan remain effective until either they expire, are forfeited or are exercised. The 2005 Incentive Plan provides for the issuance of up to 3,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock for restricted stock or option awards. The maximum term of options granted under the 2005 Incentive Plan is ten years.

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”), using the modified prospective transition method. Under this transition method, share-based compensation expense for six and the three month periods ended June 30, 2006 includes compensation expense for all share-based compensation awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provision of SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”). Share-based compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted after January 1, 2006 is based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R. The Company recognizes these compensation costs on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the option vesting term of five years utilizing cliff vesting, except for options granted to directors which vest immediately. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R and during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005, the Company recognized share-based compensation expense in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”) and related interpretations. No compensation expense was recognized when option grants had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.

The impact of adopting SFAS 123R on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 (instead of continuing to account for stock-based compensation under APB 25) in non-cash compensation expense was an increase of $1.9 million and $3.7 million, respectively, an increase to the loss before income taxes, net of noncontrolling interest, of $523,000 and $1.0 million, respectively, and an increase to net loss of $462,000 and $775,000, respectively.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the tax benefits of stock option exercises was classified as operating cash flows. Since the adoption of SFAS 123R, tax benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for options exercised are classified as operating and financing cash flows. As the Company adopted the modified prospective transition method, the prior period cash flow statement was not adjusted to reflect current period presentation. In accordance with SFAS 123R, such benefit is recognized upon actual

realization of the related tax benefit. During the six month ended June 30, 2006, the Company’s excess tax benefit of approximately $2.9 million was not recognized and will not be recognized until such deductions reduce taxes payable. During the three months ended June 30, 2006, the Company had no transactions relating to the exercise of stock options.

The following table illustrates the pro forma effect on net income and earnings per share as if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to stock-based employee compensation for the three month and six months periods ended June 30, 2005 (in thousands, except per share data)


	Three Months			Six Months
	Ended			Ended
	June 30, 2005			June 30, 2005
Net income allocable to common stock, as reported	$	2,544		$	6,756

Deduct: Total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair value based method for all awards, net of related income tax effects and noncontrolling interest		(203	)		(411	)

Pro forma net income	$	2,350		$	6,364

Earnings per share:
Basic as reported	$	0.10		$	0.26

Basic pro forma	$	0.09		$	0.24

Diluted as reported	$	0.08		$	0.22

Diluted pro forma	$	0.07		$	0.21

The Company recognizes share-based compensation costs based on the grant date fair value. The grant date fair value for stock options is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model net of an estimated forfeitures rate and recognizes the compensation costs for those options expected to vest on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the option vesting term of five years. The Company based its estimated forfeiture rate of its unvested options at January 1, 2006 on its historical experience. The Company’s estimated forfeiture rate is currently 0% based on the fact that historically the Company’s turnover has been negligible.

The Company formulated its assumptions used in estimating the fair value of employee options granted subsequent to January 1, 2006 in accordance with guidance under SFAS 123R and the guidance provided by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in Staff Accounting Bulleting No. 107 (“SAB 107”). As part of this assessment, management determined that its volatility should be based on its Class A Common Stock derived from historical price volatility by using prices for the period after the Company began trading on the NASDAQ National Market through the grant date. The Company’s expected term is an estimate as to how long the option will remain outstanding based upon management’s expectation of employee exercise and post-vesting forfeiture behavior. Because there were no recognizable patterns, the Company used the simplified guidance in SAB 107 to determine the estimated term of options issued subsequent to the adoption of SFAS 123R. Based on this guidance, the estimated term was estimated to be the midpoint of the vesting term and the contractual term. The Company continues to base the estimate of risk-free interest rate on the U.S. Treasury implied yield curve in effect at the time of grant with a remaining term equal to the expected term. The Company has never paid cash dividends and does not currently intend to pay cash dividends, and therefore a 0% dividend yield was assumed.

In June 2006, the Board of Directors granted stock options to employees (both incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options) to acquire an aggregate of 236,500 shares of Class A Common Stock under the 2005 Incentive Plan. The options vest five years from the grant date and expire ten years after the grant date and have an exercise price equal to the closing market price of the Class A Common Stock on the date of the grant. No stock options were granted during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005. The table below presents the weighted average assumptions used to value options granted in June 2006:

During the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2006, the Company recognized approximately $50,000 and $100,000, respectively of compensation cost related to vested restricted stock compensation. During July 2006, the Board of Directors granted 30,028 shares of restricted stock under the 2005 Incentive Plan. Restricted stock will be granted in Class A Common Stock and will vest monthly over the 12- month service period. The fair value of the 30,028 shares of restricted stock granted is approximately $200,000 and the cost is expected to be recognized over the 12 month service period between July 2006 through June 2007.

BankAtlantic Bancorp

BankAtlantic Bancorp has stock based compensation plans under which restricted stock, incentive stock options and non-qualifying stock options were awarded to officers, employees and directors and affiliate employees. Options available for grant under all stock options plans except for the 2005 Restricted Stock and Option Plan (the “Plan”) were canceled during 2005. The Plan provides for the issuance of up to 6,000,000 shares of BankAtlantic Bancorp Class A common stock for restricted stock or option awards.

Effective January 1, 2006, BankAtlantic Bancorp adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”), using the modified prospective transition method. Under this transition method, share-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 includes compensation expense for all share-based compensation awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provision of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”). Share-based compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted after January 1, 2006 is based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R. BankAtlantic Bancorp recognizes these compensation costs on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the option vesting term of five years, except for options granted to directors which vest immediately. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R and during the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, BankAtlantic Bancorp recognized share-based compensation expense in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”) and related interpretations. No compensation was recognized when option grants had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.

In addition, prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the tax benefits of stock option exercises were classified as operating cash flows. Since the adoption of SFAS 123R, tax benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for options are classified as operating and financing cash flows. As BankAtlantic Bancorp adopted the modified prospective transition method, the prior period cash flow statement was not adjusted to reflect current period presentation.

The following table illustrates BankAtlantic Bancorp pro forma effect on net income and earnings per share as if BankAtlantic Bancorp had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to stock-based employee compensation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the actual results reported under SFAS No. 123R for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006.

As of June 30, 2006, approximately $902,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost was related to unvested restricted stock compensation. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 5 years. The fair value of shares vested during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 was $401,000 and $433,000, respectively.

BankAtlantic Bancorp recognizes stock based compensation costs based on the grant date fair value. The grant date fair value for stock options is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model net of an estimated

forfeiture rate and recognizes the compensation costs for those shares expected to vest on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the option vesting term of five years. BankAtlantic Bancorp based its estimated forfeiture rate of its unvested options at January 1, 2006 on its historical experience during the preceding five years.

BankAtlantic Bancorp formulated its assumptions used in estimating the fair value of employee options granted subsequent to January 1, 2006 in accordance with guidance under SFAS 123R and the guidance provided by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”). As part of this assessment, management determined that the historical volatility of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s stock should be adjusted to reflect the spin-off of Levitt on December 31, 2003 because BankAtlantic Bancorp’s historical volatility prior to the Levitt spin-off was not a good indicator of future volatility. Management reviewed BankAtlantic Bancorp’s stock volatility subsequent to the Levitt spin-off along with the stock volatility of other companies in its peer group. Based on this information, management determined that BankAtlantic Bancorp’s stock volatility was similar to its peer group subsequent to the Levitt spin-off. As a consequence, management began estimating BankAtlantic Bancorp’s stock volatility over the estimated life of the stock options granted using peer group experiences instead of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s historical data. As part of its adoption of SFAS 123R, BankAtlantic Bancorp examined its historical pattern of option exercises in an effort to determine if there were any patterns based on certain employee populations. From this analysis, BankAtlantic Bancorp could not identify any patterns in the exercise of its options. As such, BankAtlantic Bancorp used the guidance of SAB 107 to determine the estimated term of options issued subsequent to the adoption of SFAS 123R. Based on this guidance, the estimated term was deemed to be the midpoint of the vesting term and the contractual term ((vesting term + original contractual term)/2).

The table below presents the weighted average assumptions used to value options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2006. There were no options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2005.

As of June 30, 2006, there was $8.9 million of total unearned compensation cost related to BankAtlantic Bancorp’s non-vested Class A common stock options. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.3 years. The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and options exercisable as of June 30, 2006 was $20.3 million and $14.1 million, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 was $13.0 million and $12.8 million, respectively.

All options granted during 2006 vest in five years and expire ten years from the date of grant, except that options granted to directors vested immediately. The stock options were granted at an exercise price that equaled the fair value of the Class A common stock at the date of grant. Included in the above grants were options to acquire 5,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock that were granted to affiliate employees. These options are valued at period end with the change in fair value recorded as an increase or reduction in compensation expense.

Levitt

On May 11, 2004, Levitt’s Shareholders approved the 2003 Levitt Corporation Stock Incentive Plan (“Plan”). In March 2006, subject to shareholder approval, the Board of Directors of Levitt approved the amendment and restatement of Levitt’s 2003 Stock Incentive Plan to increase the maximum number of shares of Levitt’s Class A Common Stock, $0.01 par value, that may be issued for restricted stock awards and upon the exercise of options under the plan from 1,500,000 to 3,000,000 shares. Levitt’s shareholders approved the Amended and Restated 2003 Stock Incentive Plan at Levitt’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders on May 16, 2006.

The maximum term of options granted under the Plan is 10 years. The vesting period is established by the compensation committee in connection with each grant and is generally five years utilizing cliff vesting. Option awards issued to date become exercisable based solely on fulfilling a service condition.

In the first quarter of 2006, Levitt adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (“FAS 123R”). This Statement requires companies to expense the estimated fair value

of stock options and similar equity instruments issued to employees over the vesting period in their statements of operations. FAS 123R eliminates the alternative to use the intrinsic method of accounting provided for in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (“APB 25”), which generally resulted in no compensation expense recorded in the financial statements related to the granting of stock options to employees if certain conditions were met.

Levitt adopted FAS 123R using the modified prospective method effective January 1, 2006, which requires Levitt to record compensation expense over the vesting period for all awards granted after the date of adoption, and for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that remained outstanding at the date of adoption. Accordingly, amounts for periods prior to January 1, 2006 presented herein have not been restated to reflect the adoption of FAS 123R. The proforma effect for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 is as follows and has been disclosed to be consistent with prior accounting rules (in thousands, except per share data):


	Three Months Ended			Six Months Ended
	June 30,			June 30,
	2005			2005
Levitt pro forma net income
Levitt net income, as reported	$	6,052		$	35,870
Deduct: total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair value based method for all awards, net of related income tax effect		(154	)		(306	)


Levitt pro forma net income	$	5,898		$	35,564


Levitt basic earnings per share:

Pro forma	$	0.30		$	1.79

Levitt diluted earnings per share:
As reported	$	0.30		$	1.79
Pro forma	$	0.29		$	1.78

The fair values of options granted are estimated on the date of their grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on certain assumptions. The fair value of Levitt’s stock option awards, which are primarily subject to five year cliff vesting, is expensed over the vesting life of the stock options under the straight-line method.

No stock options were granted in the three and six months ended June 30, 2005. The fair value of each option granted in the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 was estimated using the following assumptions:


Expected volatility		37.5023% - 37.5037	%
Weighted-average volatility		37.50	%
Expected dividend yield		.39% - .54	%
Weighted-average dividend yield		.42	%
Risk-free interest rate		5.02% - 5.13	%
Weighted-average risk-free rate		5.05	%
Expected life	7.5 years
Forfeiture rate — executives		5.0	%
Forfeiture rate — non-executives		10.0	%

Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of Levitt’s stock. Due to the short period of time Levitt has been publicly traded, the historical volatilities of similar publicly traded entities are reviewed to validate Levitt’s expected volatility assumption. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the stock option award is based on the yield of US Treasury bonds on the date the stock option award is granted with a maturity equal to the expected term of the stock option award granted. The expected life of stock option awards granted is based upon the “simplified” method for “plain vanilla” options contained in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107. Due to the short history of stock option activity, forfeiture rates are estimated based on historical employee turnover rates.

Non-cash stock compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 related to unvested stock options amounted to $611,812 and $1,263,058, respectively, with an expected or estimated income tax benefit of $173,000 and $342,000, respectively. The impact of adopting SFAS No. 123R on basic and diluted loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 was $0.03 per share and $0.05 per share, respectively. At June 30, 2006, Levitt had approximately $8.7 million of unrecognized stock compensation expense related to outstanding stock option awards which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.5 years.

Levitt also grants restricted stock, which is valued based on the market price of the common stock on the date of grant. Compensation expense arising from restricted stock grants is recognized using the straight-line method over the vesting period. Unearned compensation for restricted stock is a reduction of shareholders’ equity in the consolidated statements of financial condition. During the year ended December 31, 2005, Levitt granted 6,887 restricted shares of Class A common stock to non-employee directors under the Plan. The restricted stock vested monthly over a 12 month period and all shares of restricted stock under these grants were vested at June 30, 2006. Non-cash stock compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 related to restricted stock awards amounted to $55,000 and $0, respectively. Non-cash stock compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 related to restricted stock awards amounted to $110,000 and $0, respectively.

Levitt’s total non- cash stock compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 amounted to $669,000 and $1.4 million, respectively, with no expense recognized in 2005.

4. Discontinued Operations

In November 2004, a tenant occupying 21% of the square footage of the BMOC shopping center vacated the premises. The loss of this tenant caused BMOC to operate at a negative cash flow. Because of the negative cash flow, the mortgage was not paid in accordance with its terms; rather, cash flow to the extent available from the shopping center was paid to the lender. The noteholder on September 14, 2005 filed a Notice of Hearing Prior to Foreclosure of Deed of Trust which among other things indicated that the shopping center was scheduled to be sold on November 29, 2005. On December 19, 2005, the shopping center was transferred to the lender in full settlement of the note of $8.2 million. The financial results of BMOC are reported as discontinued operations. There was no activity related to Discontinued Operations during the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2006.

The Company reviews long-lived assets, consisting primarily of inventory of real estate, for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”.

Levitt’s Tennessee operations have delivered lower than expected margins. Furthermore, Levitt has continued to experience significant start-up costs associated with expansion from the Memphis to the Nashville market, as well as the departure of key management personnel in the three months ended June 30, 2006. Levitt also experienced a downward trend in home deliveries in its Tennessee market in the three months ended June 30, 2006. Levitt conducted an impairment review of the inventory of real estate associated with the Tennessee operations which resulted in recording a $4.7 million write down of inventory. The $4.7 million is included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations in Homebuilding & Real Estate Development in other expenses. Projections of future cash flows related to the remaining assets were discounted and used to determine the estimated impairment charge. Management of Levitt is currently evaluating various strategies for its assets in Tennessee. As a result, additional impairment charges may be necessary in the future based on changes in estimates or actual selling prices of these assets.

Effective January 1, 2006 Bluegreen adopted Statement of Position 04-02 Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions (“SOP 04-02”) which resulted in a one-time, non-cash, cumulative effect of change in

accounting principle charge of $4.5 million to Bluegreen for the six months ended June 30, 2006 which reduced the equity in earnings in Bluegreen by approximately $1.4 million and accordingly increased the Company’s net loss by approximately $86,000, net of income tax and noncontrolling interest, for the same period.

On July 27, 2006, Bluegreen announced that its Board of Directors (“Bluegreen Board”) had declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right (“Right”) for each outstanding share of Bluegreen common stock. Pursuant to the terms announced, the Rights will only be exercisable in certain events if a person or group acquires 15% or more of Bluegreen’s common stock without the prior approval of the Bluegreen Board. Bluegreen has advised Levitt that its holdings will not trigger the rights agreement.

10. Impairment of Goodwill and Property and Equipment

Impairment of Goodwill

Goodwill acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have an infinite useful life is not amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, the Company conducts, on at least an annual basis, a review of the reporting entity with goodwill to determine whether the carrying value of goodwill exceeds the fair market value. In the three months ended June 30, 2006, an impairment review was conducted by Levitt of the goodwill related to the Tennessee operations. The profitability and estimated cash flows of this reporting entity were determined to have declined to a point where the carrying value of the assets exceeded their market value. A discounted cash flow methodology was used to determine the amount of impairment resulting in a write down of the goodwill in the amount of approximately $1.3 million. This write down is included in Homebuilding & Real Estate Development other expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006.

Impairment of Property and Equipment

During May 2005, BankAtlantic opened its new corporate center which also serves as BankAtlantic Bancorp’s, Levitt’s and the Company’s corporate headquarters. As a result of the corporate center relocation and the contemplated demolition of BankAtlantic’s former corporate headquarters building, an impairment charge for the $3.7 million carrying value of the building and equipment was recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2005.

11. Defined Benefit Pension Plan

At December 31, 1998, BankAtlantic froze its defined benefit pension plan (“Plan”). All participants in the Plan ceased accruing service benefits beyond that date. BankAtlantic is subject to future pension expense or income based on future actual plan returns and actuarial values of the Plan obligations to employees. Under the Plan, net periodic pension expense incurred includes the following components (in thousands):


	For the Three Months						For the Six Months

12. Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, BankAtlantic prepaid $433.5 million and $484.0 million of fixed rate Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances. Of this amount, $394.0 million had an average interest rate of 5.44% and were scheduled to mature in 2008, and the remaining $90.0 million had an average interest rate of 4.79% and were scheduled to mature between 2009 and 2011. During the three months ended June 30, 2006, BankAtlantic incurred prepayment penalties of $1.0 million upon the repayment of $368.5 million of advances and recorded a gain of $1.1 million upon the repayment of $65.0 million of advances. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, BankAtlantic incurred prepayment penalties of $1.4 million upon the repayment of $394.0 million of advances and recorded a gain of $1.5 million upon the repayment of $90.0 million of advances.

BankAtlantic prepaid these advances as part of a market risk strategy to reduce the effects of an asset sensitive portfolio on the net interest margin by shortening the average maturity of its outstanding interest-bearing liabilities.

Of the remaining FHLB advances outstanding at June 30, 2006, $47.0 million mature between 2008 and 2010 and have a fixed weighted average interest rate of 5.83%, $980 million are LIBOR-based floating rate advances that mature between 2006 and 2007 and had a weighted average interest rate of 5.23% and $100 million are callable adjustable rate advances that bear interest at a LIBOR-based floating rate which adjusts quarterly, have maturities between 2009 and 2012 and currently have a weighted average interest rate of 4.79%.

In addition, Levitt contributed $464,000 to LCT III in exchange for all of its common securities, and those proceeds were also used to purchase an identical amount of junior subordinated debentures from Levitt. The terms of LCT III’s common securities are nearly identical to the trust preferred securities.

On June 19, 2006, Levitt and Sons entered into an amendment to an existing credit facility with a third party lender.

The construction loan accrues interest at 30-day LIBOR plus a spread of 170 basis points. The construction loan is due and payable on June 26, 2009 and is subject to two twelve-month extensions, subject to satisfaction of certain specified conditions.

Interest is payable monthly during the initial term of the loan, while interest and principal payments based on a 30-year amortization are payable monthly during the extension periods.

On July 18, 2006, Levitt formed a statutory business trust ( “LCT IV”) for the purpose of issuing trust preferred securities and investing the proceeds thereof in junior subordinated debentures. LCT IV issued $15.0 million of trust preferred securities and used the proceeds to purchase an identical amount of junior subordinated debentures from Levitt. Interest on these junior subordinated debentures and distributions on these trust preferred securities are payable quarterly in arrears at a fixed rate of 9.349% through September 30, 2011, and thereafter at a variable rate of interest, per annum, reset quarterly, equal to the 3-month LIBOR plus 3.80% until the scheduled maturity date of September 2036. In addition, Levitt contributed $464,000 to LCT IV in exchange for all of its common securities, and those proceeds were also used to purchase an identical amount of junior subordinated debentures from Levitt. The terms of LCT IV’s common securities are nearly identical to the trust preferred securities.

During the second quarter of 2006 the Board of Directors of BankAtlantic Bancorp approved the repurchase of up to 6,000,000 shares of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s Class A Common Stock, which constitutes approximately 10% of the total of its Class A and Class B Common Stock presently outstanding. The timing and amount of repurchases will depend on market conditions, share price, trading volume and other factors, and there is no assurance that BankAtlantic Bancorp will repurchase shares during any period. No termination date was set for the buyback program. Shares may be purchased on the open market or through private transactions. During the three months ended June 30, 2006 BankAtlantic Bancorp purchased and retired 250,000 shares of its Class A common stock at an average price per share of $14.50.

Any shares repurchased by BankAtlantic Bancorp has the effect of increasing the Company’s percentage ownership of BankAtlantic Bancorp. The purchase and retirement of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s 250,000 shares increased BFC’s economic ownership in BankAtlantic Bancorp by less than 1%.

16. Interest Expense

Interest incurred relating to land under development and construction is capitalized to real estate inventories during the active development period of the property at the effective rates paid on borrowings. Capitalization of interest is discontinued when development ceases at a project. Capitalized interest is expensed as a component of cost of sales as related homes, land and units are sold. The following table is a summary of interest expense on notes and mortgage notes payable and the amounts capitalized (in thousands):

BFC Activities

BFC has entered into guaranty agreements in connection with the purchase of two shopping centers in South Florida by two separate limited liability companies. Cypress Creek Capital (“CCC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of BFC, has a one percent non-managing general partner interest in a limited partnership that has a 15 percent interest in each of the limited liability companies. Pursuant to the guaranty agreements, BFC guarantees certain amounts on two nonrecourse loans. BFC’s maximum exposure under the guaranty agreements is estimated to be approximately $21.5 million, the full amount of the indebtedness. Based on the assets securing the indebtedness, it is reasonably likely that no payment will be required under the agreements. As non-managing general partner of the limited partnership and managing member of the limited liability companies, CCC does not control or have the ability to make major decisions without the consent of all partners.

In March 2006, BFC invested $1.0 million in a real estate limited partnership which represents an 8% limited partnership interest in the Partnership. A subsidiary of CCC also has a 10% interest in the limited partnership as a non-managing general partner. The Partnership owns an office building located in Boca Raton, Florida and in connection with the purchase, CCC guaranteed a portion of the nonrecourse loan on the property. CCC’s maximum exposure under the guaranty agreement is $8.0 million representing approximately one-third of the current indebtedness of the commercial property. Based on the limited partnership assets securing the indebtedness, it is reasonably likely that no payment will be required under the guaranty. The Company’s $1.0 million investment is included in other assets in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

Other than these guarantees, the remaining instruments indicated in the table are direct commitments of BankAtlantic Bancorp or Levitt and their subsidiaries.

Financial Services

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by BankAtlantic to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. BankAtlantic’s standby letters of credit are generally issued to customers in the construction industry guaranteeing project performance. These types of standby letters of credit had a maximum

exposure of $48.7 million at June 30, 2006. BankAtlantic also issues standby letters of credit to commercial lending customers guaranteeing the payment of goods and services. These types of standby letters of credit had a maximum exposure of $21.3 million at June 30, 2006. These guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements and have maturities of one year or less. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. BankAtlantic may hold certificates of deposit and residential and commercial liens as collateral for such commitments. Included in other liabilities at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 was $230,000 and $183,000, respectively, of unearned guarantee fees. There were no obligations associated with these guarantees recorded in the financial statements.

Homebuilding & Real Estate Development

At June 30, 2006, Levitt had entered into contracts to acquire approximately $178.8 million of properties for development. Approximately $106.4 million of these commitments are subject to due diligence and satisfaction of certain requirements and conditions during which time the deposits remain fully refundable. The remaining contracts have nonrefundable deposits because Levitt’s due diligence period has expired. Should Levitt decide not to purchase the underlying properties, liability would be limited to the amount of the deposits. As such there is no assurance that Levitt will fulfill these contracts. Levitt’s management carefully reviews all commitments to ensure they are in line with its objectives The following table summarizes certain information relating to outstanding purchase and option contracts, including those contracts subject to the completion of due diligence.

At June 30, 2006, cash deposits of approximately $2.1 million secured Levitt’s commitments under these contracts.

At June 30, 2006, Levitt had outstanding surety bonds and letters of credit of approximately $126.1 million related primarily to obligations to various governmental entities to construct improvements in various communities. Levitt estimates that approximately $98.5 million of work remains to complete these improvements and does not believe that any outstanding bonds or letters of credit will likely be drawn.

18. Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions

BFC is the controlling shareholder of BankAtlantic Bancorp and Levitt. BFC also has a direct non-controlling interest in Benihana and, through Levitt, an indirect ownership interest in Bluegreen. The majority of BFC’s capital stock is owned or controlled by the Company’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, and by the Company’s Vice Chairman, both of whom are also directors of the Company, executive officers and directors of BankAtlantic Bancorp and Levitt, and directors of Bluegreen. The Company’s Vice Chairman is also a director of Benihana.

The following table sets forth for the Company, BankAtlantic Bancorp, Levitt and Bluegreen related party transactions at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. Such amounts were eliminated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

(a)		Effective January 1, 2006, BFC maintained arrangements with BankAtlantic Bancorp, Levitt and Bluegreen to provide shared service operations in the areas of human resources, risk management, investor relations and executive office administration. This arrangement provided that certain employees from BankAtlantic were transferred to BFC to staff BFC’s shared service operations and such costs are allocated based upon the usage by the respective services. Also as part of the shared service arrangement, the Company reimburses BankAtlantic Bancorp and Bluegreen for office facilities costs relating to the Company and its shared service operations.

(b)		In 2005, BankAtlantic Bancorp maintained service arrangements with BFC and Levitt, pursuant to which BankAtlantic Bancorp provided certain human resources, risk management, project planning, system support and investor and public relations services. For such services BankAtlantic Bancorp was compensated on a cost plus 5% basis. Additionally, in 2005 Levitt reimbursed BankAtlantic for office facilities costs.

When former BankAtlantic Bancorp employees were transferred to an affiliate Company, BankAtlantic Bancorp elected, in accordance with the terms of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s stock option plans, not to cancel the stock options held by those former employees. As a consequence, as of June 30, 2006 options to acquire 128,621 shares of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s Class A common stock held by affiliate employees were outstanding with a weighted average exercise price of $12.62. Of these outstanding options, 117,584 options with a weighted average exercise price of $13.48 were unvested resulting in BankAtlantic Bancorp recording $33,000 and $66,000 of compensation expense associated with these unvested options during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006. Additionally, BankAtlantic Bancorp in prior periods has issued options to acquire shares of its Class A stock to employees of BankAtlantic Bancorp affiliated companies. As of June 30, 2006, 177,977 options to acquire shares of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s Class A common stock were granted to these affiliate employees were outstanding with weighted average

exercise prices of $8.92. Of these outstanding options, 140,621 options with a weighted average exercise price of $4.03 were unvested resulting in BankAtlantic Bancorp recording $30,000 and $60,000 of compensation expense associated with these unvested options during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006. During the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 former employees exercised 51,464 and 41,146 of options, respectively, to acquire BankAtlantic Bancorp Class A common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $3.28 and $3.52, respectively.

The Company and its subsidiaries utilized certain services of Ruden, McClosky, Smith, Schuster & Russell, P.A. (“Ruden, McClosky”), a law firm to which Bruno DiGiulian, a director of BankAtlantic Bancorp, is of counsel. Fees aggregating approximately $262,000 and $763,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, were paid to Ruden, McClosky by Levitt. Ruden, McClosky also represents Alan B. Levan and John E. Abdo with respect to certain other business interests.

At June 30, 2006, Mr. Abdo had an outstanding balance of $1.0 million in connection with funds borrowed in July 2002 on a recourse basis. Mr. Abdo’s borrowing requires monthly interest payments at the prime rate plus 1%, is due on demand and is secured by 2,127,470 shares of Class A Stock and 370,750 shares of Class B Stock.

Certain of the Company’s affiliates, including its executive officers, have independently made investments with their own funds in both public and private entities in which the Company holds investments.

The Company has a 49.5% interest and affiliates and third parties have a 50.5% interest in a limited partnership formed in 1979, for which the Company’s Chairman serves as the individual General Partner. The partnership’s primary asset is real estate subject to net lease agreements. The Company’s cost for this investment, approximately $441,000, was written off in 1990 due to the bankruptcy of the entity leasing the real estate.

Included in BFC’s other asset at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, was approximately $161,000 due from affiliates.

Florida Partners Corporation owns 133,314 shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock and 1,270,294 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock. Alan B. Levan may be deemed to be controlling shareholder with beneficial ownership of approximately 41.6% of Florida Partners Corporation and is also a member of its Board of Directors. Glen R. Gilbert, Executive Vice President and Secretary of the Company holds similar positions at Florida Partners Corporation.

19. (Loss) Earnings Per Share

The Company has two classes of common stock outstanding. The two-class method is not presented because the Company’s capital structure does not provide for different dividend rates or other preferences, other than voting rights, between the two classes. The number of options considered outstanding shares for diluted earnings per share is based upon application of the treasury stock method to the options outstanding as of the end of the period. I.R.E. Realty Advisory Group, Inc. (“RAG”) owns 4,764,284 of BFC Financial Corporation’s Class A Common Stock and 500,000 shares of BFC Financial Corporation Class B Common Stock. Because the Company owns 45.5% of the outstanding common stock of RAG, 2,165,367 shares of Class A Common Stock and 227,250 shares of Class B Common Stock are eliminated from the number of shares outstanding for purposes of computing earnings per share.

The following reconciles the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share computation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 (in thousands, except per share data).

21. Nonmonetary Transactions

During the second quarter of 2006, BankAtlantic completed an exchange of branch facilities with an unaffiliated financial institution. The transaction was a real estate for real estate exchange with no cash payments involved. The transaction was accounted for at the fair value of the branch facility transferred and BankAtlantic recognized a $1.8 million gain in connection with the exchange.

During the second quarter of 2006, MasterCard International (“MasterCard”) completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) of its common stock. Pursuant to the IPO, member financial institutions received cash and Class B Common Stock for their interest in MasterCard. BankAtlantic received $458,000 in cash and 25,587 shares of MasterCard’s Class B Common Stock. The $458,000 cash proceeds were reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Operations in Financial Services other income. The Class B Common Stock received was accounted for as a nonmonetary transaction and recorded at historical cost.

22. Settlement of Compliance Matter

In April 2006, BankAtlantic Bancorp entered into a deferred prosecution agreement with the Department of Justice relating to deficiencies identified in BankAtlantic’s Bank Secrecy Act and anti-money laundering compliance programs, and at the same time entered into a cease and desist order with the Office of Thrift Supervision, and a consent with FinCEN relating to these compliance deficiencies. Under the agreement with the Department of Justice, BankAtlantic made a payment of $10 million to the United States Treasury. The Office of Thrift Supervision and FinCEN have each independently assessed a civil money penalty of $10 million. Under the OTS order and the FinCEN consent, the OTS and FinCEN assessments were satisfied by the $10 million payment made pursuant to the agreement with the Department of Justice. BankAtlantic Bancorp established a $10 million reserve during the fourth quarter of 2005 with respect to these matters and the payment has no impact on 2006 financial results. Provided that BankAtlantic complies with its obligations under the deferred prosecution agreement for a period of 12 months, the Department of Justice has agreed to take no further action in connection with this matter. BankAtlantic has been advised that the cease and desist order issued by the Office of Thrift Supervision and the FinCEN consent will have no effect on BankAtlantic’s ongoing operations and growth, provided that BankAtlantic remains in full compliance with the terms of the orders.

23. New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2004, FASB issued Statement No. 152 (“Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 66 and 67). This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 66, Accounting for Sales of Real Estate, to reference the financial accounting and reporting guidance for real estate time-sharing transactions that is provided in AICPA Statement of Position 04-02 Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions (“SOP 04-02”). This Statement also amends FASB Statement No. 67, Accounting for Costs and Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Projects, to state that the guidance for (a) incidental operations and (b) costs incurred to sell real estate projects does not apply to real estate time-sharing transactions. The accounting for those operations and costs is subject to the guidance in SOP 04-02. Effective January 1, 2006, Bluegreen adopted SOP 04-02 which resulted in a one-time, non-cash, cumulative effect of change in accounting principle charge of $4.5 million to Bluegreen for the six months ended June 30, 2006 which reduced the equity in earnings in Bluegreen by approximately $1.4 million and accordingly increased the Company’s net loss by approximately $86,000, net of income tax and noncontrolling interest, for the same period.

In December 2004, FASB issued Staff Position 109-1 (“FSP 109-1”), “Application of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, to the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production Activities Provided by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004.” The American Jobs Creation Act provides a 3% deduction on “qualified domestic production activities income” and is effective for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2006, subject to certain limitations. This deduction provides a tax savings against income attributable to domestic production activities, including the construction of real property. When fully phased-in, the deduction will be up to

9% of the lesser of “qualified production activities income” or taxable income. Based on the guidance provided by FSP 109-1, this deduction should be accounted for as a special deduction under SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. This will reduce tax expense in the period or periods that the amounts are deductible on the tax return. The Company continues to assess the potential impact of this new deduction for the year ending December 31, 2006.

In June 2006, the FASB issued FIN No. 48 (“Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB No. 109”.) FIN 48 provides guidance for how a company should recognize, measure, present and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that a company has taken or expects to take on a tax return. FIN 48 substantially changes the accounting policy for uncertain tax positions and is likely to cause greater volatility in the Company’s provision for income taxes. The interpretation also revises disclosure requirements including a tabular presentation to reflect the roll-forward of unrecognized tax benefits. The interpretation for the Company is effective as of January 1, 2007 and any changes in net assets that results from the application of this interpretation should be reflected as an adjustment to retained earnings. Management is currently in the process of determining whether it has taken or expects to take any uncertain tax positions and evaluating the requirements of this interpretation.

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, (“Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets — An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140”.) This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities,” with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. The Company currently does not own servicing financial assets or liabilities and management believes that the adoption of this Statement will not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

24 Litigation

On May 26, 2005 a suit was filed in the 9th Judicial Circuit in and for Orange County, Florida against Levitt in Frank Albert, Dorothy Albert, et al. v. Levitt and Sons, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, Levitt Homes, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, Levitt Corporation, a Florida corporation, Levitt Construction Corp. East, a Florida corporation and Levitt and Sons, Inc., a Florida corporation. The suit purports to be a class action on behalf of residents in one of Levitt’s communities in Central Florida. The complaint alleges, among other claims, construction defects and unspecified damages ranging from $50,000 to $400,000 per house. While there is no assurance that Levitt will be successful, Levitt believes it has valid defenses and is engaged in a vigorous defense of the action.

BFC Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries

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

Overview

The objective of the following discussion is to provide an understanding of the financial condition and results of operations of BFC Financial Corporation (which may also be referred to as “we,” “us,” or “our”) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

We are a diversified holding company whose principal holdings consist of direct controlling interests in BankAtlantic Bancorp, our financial services business subsidiary, and Levitt, our homebuilding and real estate development subsidiary. As a consequence of our direct controlling interests, we have indirect controlling interests through BankAtlantic Bancorp in BankAtlantic and Ryan Beck and through Levitt in Levitt and Sons and Core Communities. We also hold a direct non-controlling minority investment in Benihana and through Levitt, an indirect minority interest in Bluegreen. As a result of our position as the controlling shareholder of BankAtlantic Bancorp, we are a “unitary savings bank holding company” regulated by the Office of Thrift Supervision. Our primary activities presently relate to managing our current investments and identifying and potentially making new investments.

On June 20, 2006 the Company announced that its Class A Common Stock was approved for listing on the NYSE Arca exchange (“NYSE Arca”) under the symbol “BFF” and on June 22, 2006, the Company commenced trading on the NYSE Arca. From April 2003 through June 19, 2006 BFC’s Class A Common Stock traded on the NASDAQ National Market.

As a holding company with control positions in BankAtlantic Bancorp and Levitt, generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) require the consolidation of the financial results of both BankAtlantic Bancorp and Levitt. As a consequence, the assets and liabilities of both entities are presented on a consolidated basis in BFC’s consolidated financial statements. Except as otherwise noted, the debts and obligations of the consolidated entities are not direct obligations of BFC and are non-recourse to BFC. Similarly, the assets of those entities are not available to BFC, absent a dividend or distribution from the entity. The recognition by BFC of income from controlled entities is determined based on the percentage of its economic ownership in those entities. As shown below, BFC’s economic ownership in BankAtlantic Bancorp and Levitt is 21.6% and 16.6%, respectively, which results in BFC recognizing only 21.6% and 16.6% of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s and Levitt’s income, respectively. The portion of income in those subsidiaries not attributable to our economic ownership interests is classified in our financial statements as “noncontrolling interest” and is subtracted from income before income taxes to arrive at consolidated net income in our financial statements to calculate the income of BFC. Additionally, the Company owns equity securities in the technology sector owned by partnerships included in our consolidated financial statements based on our general partner interest in those partnerships.

As of June 30, 2006, we had total consolidated assets of approximately $7.4 billion, including the assets of our consolidated subsidiaries, noncontrolling interest of $699.9 million and shareholders’ equity of approximately $177.5 million.

BFC’s ownership in BankAtlantic Bancorp and Levitt as of June 30, 2006 was as follows:


						Percent
	Shares		Percent of			of
	Owned		Ownership			Vote
BankAtlantic Bancorp
Class A Common Stock		8,329,236		14.78	%		7.84	%
Class B Common Stock		4,876,124		100.00	%		47.00	%
Total		13,205,360		21.57	%		54.84	%

Levitt
Class A Common Stock		2,074,243		11.15	%		5.91	%
Class B Common Stock		1,219,031		100.00	%		47.00	%
Total		3,293,274		16.61	%		52.91	%

The Company cautions that the foregoing factors are not all inclusive.

Critical Accounting Policies

Management views critical accounting policies as accounting policies that are important to the understanding of our financial statements and also involve estimates and judgments about inherently uncertain matters. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated statements of financial condition and assumptions that affect the recognition of income and expenses on the statement of operations for the periods presented. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in subsequent periods relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, evaluation of goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment, the valuation of real estate held for development, equity method investments and real estate acquired in connection with foreclosure or in satisfaction of loans, the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities in the application of the purchase method of accounting, the amount of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, accounting for contingencies and assumptions used in the valuation of share-based compensation. We have identified eight critical accounting policies which are: (i) allowance for loan losses; (ii) valuation of securities as well as the determination of other-than-temporary declines in value; (iii) impairment of goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets; (iv) impairment of long-lived assets; (v) real estate held for development and sale and equity method investments, (vi) accounting for business combinations, (vii) accounting for contingencies and (viii) accounting for share-based compensation. For a more detailed discussion of the first seven of these critical accounting policies see “Critical Accounting Policies” appearing in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. A discussion of share-based compensation follows:

Share-Based Compensation

The Company adopted SFAS 123R as of January 1, 2006 and elected the modified-prospective method, under which prior periods are not restated. Under the fair value recognition provisions of this statement, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period. See note 3 “Share-based Compensation” for further information regarding the Company’s accounting policies for share-based compensation under FAS 123R.

The Company currently uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options. The determination of the fair value of option awards on the date of grant using the Black Scholes option-pricing model is affected by the stock price and assumptions regarding the expected stock price volatility over the expected term of the awards, expected term of the awards, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. If circumstances require that the Company alter the assumptions used for estimating stock-based compensation expense in future periods or if the Company decides to use a different valuation model, the recorded expenses in future periods may differ significantly from the amount recorded in the current period and could affect net income and earnings per share.

The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. These characteristics are not present in the Company’s option awards. Existing valuation models, including the Black-Scholes and lattice binomial models, may not provide reliable measures of the fair values of stock options. As a consequence, the Company’s estimates of the fair values of stock option awards on the grant dates may be materially different than the actual values realized on those option awards in the future. Employee stock options may expire worthless while the Company records compensation expense in its financial statements. Also, amounts may be realized from exercises of stock options that are significantly higher than the fair values originally estimated on the grant date and recorded in the Company’s financial statements.

Net (loss) income allocable to common stock	$	(260	)	$	2,544		$	(713	)	$	6,756

Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2006 was $73,000 compared with net income of $2.7 million for the same period in 2005. Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $338,000 compared with net income of $7.1 million for the same period in 2005. In December 2005, I.R.E. BMOC, Inc. (“BMOC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of BFC, transferred its shopping center to its lender in full settlement of the mortgage note collateralized by the center. The financial results of BMOC are reported as discontinued operations in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 144, Accounting for the Impairment of Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. There was no activity related to discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and in 2005 net income includes a $90,000 loss and a $198,000 loss from discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively. Results of Operations for each segment are discussed below.

The 5% Preferred Stock dividend represents the dividends paid by the Company on its 5% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock.

BFC Activities

Since BFC’s principal activities consist of managing existing investments and seeking and evaluating potential new investments, BFC itself has no significant direct revenue or cash-generating operations. We depend on dividends from our subsidiaries for a significant portion of our cash flow. Regulatory restrictions and the terms of indebtedness limit the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends. Dividends by each of BankAtlantic Bancorp and Levitt are subject to a number of conditions, including cash flow and profitability, declaration by each company’s Board of Directors, compliance with the terms of each company’s outstanding indebtedness, and in the case of BankAtlantic Bancorp, regulatory restrictions applicable to BankAtlantic. BankAtlantic Bancorp’s and Levitt’s Boards of Directors are comprised of individuals, a majority of whom are independent.

The “BFC Activities” segment includes BFC’s loans receivable that relate to previously owned properties, its investment in Benihana’s convertible preferred stock and other securities and investments, advisory fee income from Cypress Creek Capital, Inc. (“CCC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of BFC, income from the shared service arrangement with BankAtlantic Bancorp, Levitt and Bluegreen to provide shared service operations in the areas of human resources, risk management, investor relations and executive office administration. Pursuant to this arrangement, certain employees from BankAtlantic were transferred to BFC to staff BFC’s shared service operations and such costs are allocated based upon the usage of the services by the respective entities. The BFC Activities segment also includes BFC’s overhead and interest expense and the financial results of venture partnerships which BFC controls. The “BFC Activities” segment will generally reflect a loss as dividends, interest and fees from our investments typically do not cover BFC’s stand-alone operating costs.

The discussion that follows reflects the operations and related matters of the BFC Activities segment (in thousands).

The increase in interest and dividend income during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same periods in 2005 was primarily due to interest income earned on higher cash balances as a

BFC Activities (Continued)

consequence of our 2005 public offering and dividend income received on our Benihana convertible preferred stock investment which increased by $10 million in June 2005 to a total investment of $20 million.

The increase in other income during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same periods in 2005 was primarily due to income recognized from BFC’s shared services arrangement of approximately $635,000 and $1.3 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006, respectively. BFC also recognized similar expenses related to providing such services. The balance of the increase in other income during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same periods in 2005 was primarily due to an increase in CCC advisory fees of $272,000 and $569,000, respectively.

The decrease in interest expense during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005 was primarily attributable to a $10.5 million reduction in our outstanding revolving line of credit in July 2005.

The increase in employee compensation and benefits during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same periods in 2005 was due to an increase in the number of employees at BFC primarily relating to the transfer of employees from BankAtlantic to BFC to staff shared service operations, an increase in payroll taxes related to employer’s tax expense on the exercise of stock options during the first quarter of 2006 and share-based compensation related to stock options and restricted stock of approximately $231,000 and $448,000, respectively. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123R, using the modified prospective transition method and therefore while 2006 results reflects the compensation expense associated with stock options and restricted stock, results for prior period were not restated.

BFC Activities segment includes our provision (benefit) for income taxes including the tax provision (benefit) relating to our earnings (loss) from BankAtlantic Bancorp and Levitt. BankAtlantic Bancorp and Levitt are consolidated in our financial statements, as described earlier. The Company’s earnings or losses in BankAtlantic Bancorp and Levitt are included in our Financial Services and Homebuilding & Real Estate Development segments.

The primary sources of funds to the BFC Activities segment for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 (without consideration of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s or Levitt’s liquidity and capital resources, which, except as noted, are not available to BFC) were:

	•	Dividends from BankAtlantic Bancorp and Levitt;

	•	Dividends from Benihana;

	•	Revenues from CCC advisory fees;

	•	Revenues from shared services activities in 2006;

	•	In 2005, the Company sold 5,957,555 shares of its Class A Common Stock, net proceeds from the sale totaled approximately $46.4 million, after underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses; and

	•	Principal and interest payments on loans receivable.

Funds were primarily utilized by BFC to:

	•	Fund minimum withholding tax liability of approximately $4.2 million upon exercise of options in 2006. The Company retired shares of the Company’s common stock delivered by the option holders as consideration for the option holders’ minimum tax withholding;

	•	Repayment of $10.5 million outstanding under the Company’s revolving line of credit during 2005 and payment of mortgage payables;

	•	Fund a $1.0 million investment in a real estate limited partnership during 2006;

	•	Fund BFC’s operating and general and administrative expenses; and

	•	Fund the payment of dividends on the Company’s 5% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock.

In June 2005, the Company sold 5,450,000 shares of its Class A Common Stock pursuant to a registered underwritten public offering at $8.50 per share. Net proceeds from the sale by the Company totaled approximately $42.5 million, after underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses. In July 2005, the Company sold an additional 507,555 shares of its Class A Common Stock at $8.50 per share pursuant to the partial exercise by the underwriters of an over-allotment option granted in connection with this offering. Net proceeds from the sale of 507,555 shares was approximately $3.9 million, after underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses, bringing total net proceeds to BFC of the offering and exercise of the over-allotment option to $46.4 million. Approximately $10.5 million of the net proceeds of the offering were used to repay indebtedness and an additional $10.0 million was used to purchase Benihana convertible preferred stock in August 2005. The balance of the proceeds have been or will be used to fund operations and growth and for general corporate purposes.

BFC Activities (Continued)

BFC has a $14.0 million revolving line of credit with a September 30, 2006 maturity that can be utilized for working capital as needed. The interest rate on this facility is based on LIBOR plus 280 basis points. At June 30, 2006, no amounts were drawn under this revolving line of credit.

In addition to the liquidity provided by the underwritten public offering, we expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements generally through cash dividends from BankAtlantic Bancorp, Levitt and Benihana, borrowings under our existing revolving line of credit and existing cash balances. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements through the foregoing, as well as long term secured and unsecured indebtedness, and future issuances of equity and/or debt securities.

The payment of dividends by BankAtlantic Bancorp is subject to declaration by BankAtlantic Bancorp’s Board of Directors and applicable indenture restrictions and loan covenants and will also depend upon, among other things, the results of operations, financial condition and cash requirements of BankAtlantic Bancorp and the ability of BankAtlantic to pay dividends or otherwise advance funds to BankAtlantic Bancorp, which in turn is subject to OTS regulations and is based upon BankAtlantic’s regulatory capital levels and net income. At June 30, 2006, BankAtlantic met all applicable liquidity and regulatory capital requirements. While there is no assurance that BankAtlantic Bancorp will pay dividends in the future, BankAtlantic Bancorp has paid a regular quarterly dividend to its common stockholders since August 1993. BankAtlantic Bancorp currently pays a quarterly dividend of $.038 per share on its Class A and Class B Common Stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2006 the Company received approximately $1.0 million in dividends from BankAtlantic Bancorp.

Levitt has paid a quarterly dividend to its shareholders since July 2004. Levitt’s most recent quarterly dividend was $0.02 per share on its Class A and Class B common stock which resulted in the Company receiving approximately $66,000. The payment of dividends in the future is subject to approval by Levitt’s Board of Directors and will depend upon, among other factors, Levitt’s results of operation and financial condition. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company received approximately $132,000 in dividends from Levitt.

The Company owns 800,000 shares of Benihana Series B Convertible Preferred Stock that it purchased for $25.00 per share. The Company has the right to receive cumulative quarterly dividends at an annual rate equal to $1.25 per share, payable on the last day of each calendar quarter. It is anticipated the Company will receive approximately $250,000 per quarter. If the Company were to convert its investment in Benihana, it would represent 1,052,632 shares of Benihana Class A Common Stock. At June 30, 2006, the aggregate market value of such shares would have been $28.7 million.

In March 2006, BFC invested $1.0 million in a real estate limited partnership which represents an 8% limited partnership interest in the Partnership. A subsidiary of CCC also has a 10% interest in the limited partnership as a non-managing general partner. The Partnership owns an office building located in Boca Raton, Florida and in connection with the purchase CCC guaranteed a portion of the nonrecourse loan on the property. CCC’s maximum exposure under the guaranty agreement is $8.0 million, representing approximately one-third of the current indebtedness of the commercial property. The amount of the guarantee will decrease as mortgage, income and rental milestones are achieved. Based on the limited partnership assets securing the indebtedness, it is reasonably likely that no payment will be required under the agreement.

BFC has entered into guaranty agreements in connection with the purchase of two shopping centers in South Florida by two separate limited liability companies. CCC, has a one percent general partner interest in a limited partnership that has a 15 percent interest in each of the limited liability companies. Pursuant to the guaranty agreements, BFC guarantees certain amounts on two nonrecourse loans. BFC’s maximum exposure under the guaranty agreements is estimated to be approximately $21.5 million, the full amount of the indebtedness. However, based on the assets securing the indebtedness, it is reasonably likely that no payment will be required under the agreements.

On June 21, 2004, an investor group purchased 15,000 shares of the Company’s 5% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock for $15.0 million in a private offering. Holders of the 5% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to receive when, and as declared by the Company’s Board of Directors, cumulative cash dividends on each share of 5% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock at a rate per annum of 5% of the stated value from the date of issuance, payable quarterly. Since June 2004, the Company has paid quarterly dividends on the 5% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock of $187,500.

Consolidated Financial Condition

Consolidated Assets and Liabilities

Total consolidated assets at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 were each $7.4 billion. The material changes in the composition of total assets from December 31, 2005 to June 30, 2006 are summarized below:

	•		Decrease in securities owned associated with Ryan Beck’s trading activities;

	•		Decline in securities available for sale reflecting BankAtlantic Bancorp’s investment strategy to limit asset growth in response to the relatively flat yield curve during the period;

	•		Higher investment securities balances at BankAtlantic due to purchases of tax certificates at annual auctions;

	•		Lower investment in FHLB stock related to repayments of FHLB advances;

	•		Decline in loan receivable balances associated with lower commercial real estate loan balances primarily resulting from a decision to cease condominium lending, and $112 million of participations sold being treated as loan sales instead of secured borrowings as a result of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s decisions to amend the related participation agreements;

	•		Net increase in inventory of real estate was primarily due to land acquisitions by Levitt;

	•		Increase in investment in unconsolidated subsidiaries primarily associated with Bluegreen’s equity earnings. This increase was partially offset with capital distribution from an investment in a rental real estate joint venture and by a $4.1 million investment in another rental real estate joint venture during the first quarter of 2006 by BankAtlantic Bancorp;

	•		Increase in property and equipment is primarily due BankAtlantic’s branch expansion initiatives, Levitt’s increase of approximately $18.6 million associated with investment in commercial properties under construction at Core Communities, and Levitt’s technology infrastructure system development;

	•		Increase in accrued interest receivable at BankAtlantic resulting from higher rates on earning assets during the period partially offset by lower earning asset balances;

	•		Decrease in goodwill is due to Levitt’s impairment charge on its Tennessee operations (see note 10); and

	•		Increase in other assets from higher accrued revenues at Ryan Beck as well as higher prepaid expenses and leasehold improvement allowances.

The Company’s total liabilities at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 were each $6.5 billion. The changes in components of total liabilities are summarized below:

	•		Higher deposit account balances resulting from growth in low-cost deposits at BankAtlantic;

	•		Increase in customer deposits on real estate held for sale at Levitt associated with Levitt’s homebuilding backlog;

	•		Decrease in FHLB advances balances at BankAtlantic reflecting redemptions of long term advances as part of a strategy to reduce asset sensitivity in our net interest margin;

	•		Increase in short-term borrowings at BankAtlantic to fund redemptions of FHLB advances and the purchase of tax certificates;

	•		Decrease in secured borrowings (associated with loan participations sold without recourse that were previously accounted for as secured borrowings) at BankAtlantic due to loan repayments and BankAtlantic’s decision to amend participation sold agreements to qualify as loan sales instead of secured borrowing arrangements;

	•		Increase in subordinated debentures, notes and bonds payable primarily related to project debt associated with 2006 land acquisitions and land development activities at Levitt;

	•		Increase in Ryan Beck securities sold but not yet purchased and due to clearing agents relating to Ryan Beck’s trading activities;

	•		Increase of $15.4 million in junior subordinated debentures associated with Levitt;

	•		Declines in other liabilities primarily associated with a reduction in accrued employee compensation and benefits reflecting the payout of 2005 annual bonuses during the first quarter of 2006 as well as the reduction in a $10 million reserve for the AML/BSA compliance matters based on payment made by

Consolidated Financial Condition (Continued)

BankAtlantic of that amount, as well as lower current tax liability at Levitt, partially offset with an increase in Levitt’s accounts payable and accrued liabilities relating to selling, general and administrative and construction costs; and

•

Decline in deferred tax liability primarily due to BankAtlantic Bancorp’s increase in deferred tax assets resulting from a decline in other comprehensive income.

Noncontrolling Interest

At June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, noncontrolling interest was approximately $699.9 million and $696.5 million, respectively. The following table summarizes the noncontrolling interest held by others in our subsidiaries (in thousands):


	June 30,		December 31,
	2006		2005
BankAtlantic Bancorp	$	408,375	$	404,118
Levitt		290,801		291,675
Joint Venture Partnerships		718		729

	$	699,894	$	696,522

The increase in noncontrolling interest in BankAtlantic Bancorp was primarily attributable to BankAtlantic Bancorp’s $14.8 million in earnings, a $8.9 million increase in additional paid in capital relating to the issuance of BankAtlantic Bancorp common stock and associated tax benefits upon exercise of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s stock options, a $2.2 million increase in additional paid-in-capital associated with the expensing of share-based compensation. The above increases were partially offset by a $3.6 million reduction in additional paid in capital for the purchase and retirement of BankAtlantic Bancorp Class A common stock, the declaration of $4.7 million of BankAtlantic Bancorp dividends on common stock, a $6.4 million change in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of income tax benefits, and a $7.0 million reduction in additional paid in capital relating to the acceptance of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s Class A common stock as consideration for the payment of withholding taxes and exercise price which were due upon the exercise of BankAtlantic Bancorp Class A stock options.

The decrease in noncontrolling interest in Levitt was attributable to Levitt’s loss of $1.4 million, the payment of cash dividends of $794,000 on Levitt’s common stock, a $230,000 decrease in accumulated other income, net of income taxes. The above decreases were partially offset by a $1.4 million increase in additional-paid in capital associated with the expensing of share-based compensation.

Shareholders’ Equity

Shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 was $177.5 million and $183.1 million, respectively. The decrease in shareholders’ equity was primarily due to a $338,000 net loss, a $13.3 million reduction in additional paid in capital related to the acceptance of the Company’s Class A and Class B Common Stock as consideration for the payment of withholding taxes and the exercise price associated with the exercise of the Company’s Class B stock options, $313,000 reduction in additional paid in capital due to the net effect of subsidiaries’ capital transactions, net of income tax benefits, an $804,000 decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of income taxes and $375,000 in cash dividends paid on the Company’s 5% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock. The above decreases were partially offset by a $9.1 million increase in additional paid in capital relating to the issuance of the Company’s common stock upon exercise of Company’s stock options and a $448,000 increase in additional paid in capital associated with the expensing of share-based compensation.

Critical Accounting Policies

Management views critical accounting policies as accounting policies that are important to the understanding of our financial statements and also involve estimates and judgments about inherently uncertain matters. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated statements of financial condition and assumptions that affect the recognition of income and expenses on the consolidated statement of operations for the periods presented. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in subsequent periods relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, evaluation of goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment, the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosure or in satisfaction of loans, the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities in the application of the purchase method of accounting, the amount of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, accounting for contingencies, and assumptions used in the valuation of stock based compensation. The seven accounting policies that we have identified as critical accounting policies are: (i) allowance for loan losses; (ii) valuation of securities as well as the determination of other-than-temporary declines in value; (iii) impairment of goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets; (iv) impairment of long-lived assets; (v) accounting for business combinations; (vi) accounting for contingencies; and (vii) accounting for share-based compensation. For a more detailed discussion of these critical accounting policies see “Critical Accounting Policies” appearing in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Share-based Compensation

The Company adopted SFAS 123R as of January 1, 2006 and elected the modified-prospective method, under which prior periods are not restated. Under the fair value recognition provisions of this statement, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period. See note 2 “Stock Based Compensation” for further information regarding the Company’s accounting policies for stock based compensation under FAS 123R.

The Company currently uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options. The determination of the fair value of option awards on the date of grant using the Black Scholes option-pricing model is affected by the stock price and assumptions regarding the expected stock price volatility over the expected term of the awards, expected term of the awards, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. If circumstances require that the Company alters the assumptions used for estimating stock-based compensation expense in future periods or if the Company decides to use a different valuation model, the recorded expenses in future periods may differ significantly from the amount recorded in the current period and could affect net income and earnings per share.

For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2006 Compared to the Same 2005 Period:

Net income decreased 66.9% to $8.1 million for the second quarter 2006, down from $24.5 million earned in the 2005 quarter. The decrease in the 2006 quarter was primarily due to Ryan Beck’s financial performance and a substantial increase in BankAtlantic’s non-interest expense. Non-interest expenses at BankAtlantic increased to support BankAtlantic’s new branch expansion program, extended hours ‘convenience model’ and aggressive marketing program. These initiatives involve incremental costs that resulted in lower earnings than those in prior periods. These declines in earnings were partially offset by a decline in the Parent Company net loss resulting from gains on the sales of equity securities.

The substantial decrease in Ryan Beck segment earnings during the current quarter was due to lower revenue generated in the investment banking area compared to the 2005 quarter. Included in the 2005 quarter were fees from the completion of a large mutual to stock transaction, in which Ryan Beck served as the lead underwriter. This transaction was the largest single transaction in Ryan Beck’s history and contributed significantly to net income of $13.0 million in the 2005 quarter. The net loss at Ryan Beck during the current quarter was due to continued weakness in its capital markets and investment banking activities, as well as compensation costs and direct expenses associated with the expansion of those activities, including expansion of municipal finance and trading areas, principally in late 2005.

BankAtlantic’s segment net income was negatively impacted by a 24% increase in non-interest expense, mainly in compensation, occupancy, advertising and operating expenses relating to the branch expansion, several new initiatives designed to enhance customer service and convenience and an aggressive marketing campaign.

The increase in Parent Company segment net income primarily resulted from securities activities gains. The Parent Company sold appreciated equity securities in managed funds in order to offset higher interest expense on its floating rate junior subordinated debentures.

For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2006 Compared to the Same 2005 Period:

Net income decreased 67% from the same 2005 period. The decline in net income primarily resulted from the items discussed above as well as a $3.1 million recovery from loan losses in 2005 compared to a $143,000 provision during 2006.

(1)		The tax equivalent basis is computed using a 35% tax rate.

For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2006 Compared to the Same 2005 Period:

The decrease in tax equivalent net interest income primarily resulted from a decline in average interest earning assets partially offset by an improvement in the tax equivalent net interest margin.

BankAtlantic’s average interest earning asset balances significantly declined primarily due to a strategy implemented during the latter half of 2005 to limit earning asset growth in the current flat yield curve environment. Management expects to continue this strategy of limiting asset growth and increasing low cost deposits in a flat or inverted yield curve environment. Also contributing to the decline in earning assets was a management decision to

Financial Services (Continued)

curtail condominium construction lending during 2005. As a consequence of this management decision and a slow-down in real estate construction in Florida, average commercial real estate balances declined significantly. The average balance declines were partially offset by higher consumer and small business loan average balances resulting from the sale of loan products to new low cost deposit customers.

The improvement in the tax equivalent net interest margin primarily resulted from an increase in low cost deposits and secondarily from higher earning asset yields. Low cost deposits are savings, NOW and demand deposits and these average deposit balances increased from $1,969 million during the three months ended June 30, 2005 to $2,239 million during the current quarter. Low cost deposits balances grew 13.7% from June 2005 to the current quarter.

The margin improvement from the second quarter of 2005 was achieved in a flat yield curve environment from growth in low cost deposits and higher earning asset yields. While further margin improvements will depend largely on the future pattern of interest rates, management believes that the expected continued growth in low cost deposits should result in a gradual improvement in BankAtlantic’s margin in subsequent periods.

BankAtlantic experienced increases in both interest earning asset yields and interest bearing liability rates during the current quarter. The prime interest rate has increased from 4.00% in June 2004 to 8.25% at June 30, 2006. This increase has favorably impacted yields on earning assets, which was partially offset by higher rates on borrowings.

Charge-offs from continuing loan products were favorably impacted by low charge-offs in all loan product categories during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same 2005 periods. The majority of the continuing loan product charge-offs during the 2005 quarter resulted from a $300,000 charge-off of a small business loan while approximately $400,000 of charge-offs in discontinued loan products related to an aviation lease. The majority of the 2006 charge-offs were associated with two small business loans. The lower charge-offs from discontinued loan products during the 2006 quarter resulted from declining portfolio balances. The remaining balance of these discontinued loan products declined to $593,000 from $1.2 million a year earlier.

During the three months ended June 30, 2006, BankAtlantic recorded a recovery from loan losses reflecting net recoveries for the quarter partially offset by slightly higher loan loss provisions established as a result of estimated inherent losses in our loan portfolio from the effect of higher short-term interest rates on borrowers’ ability to service debt. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, the provision for loan losses was also affected by unfavorable trends in home equity loan-to-value ratios.

The provision for loan losses during the 2005 quarter primarily resulted from an increase in the perceived credit risk in the home equity loan portfolio. Management increased the allowance for home equity loans based on an analysis of the portfolio which included a review of the portfolio loan-to-value ratios.

The provision for loan losses was a net recovery during the six month period ended June 30, 2005 due to the commercial business loan recovery, declining reserves for discontinued loan products and the repayment of a large classified loan.

Non-performing assets remain at historically low levels. Non-performing assets to total loans, tax certificates and repossessed assets were 0.17% at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005. The ratio was slightly lower as of June 30, 2005 at 0.16%. The improvement in nonaccrual loans at June 30, 2006 compared to December 31, 2005 resulted from declines in non-performing residential loans. The majority of non-accrual loans were residential loans, which amounted to $4.0 million at June 30, 2006, compared to $6.0 million and $4.4 million at December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005, respectively. The increase in real estate owned was associated with tax certificate activities. Historically BankAtlantic has profited from the sale of repossessed tax lien properties.

The higher other service charges and fees during the first three and six months of 2006 reflect the opening of new deposit accounts, including approximately 58,000 new accounts during the second quarter of 2006 compared

Financial Services (Continued)

to 49,000 during the comparable 2005 period and 135,000 new accounts during the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to 104,000 during the same 2005 period. New ATM and check cards are issued with new checking and savings accounts and therefore the increase in accounts results in increases in interchange fees, annual fees and transaction fees on our customers’ use of other banks’ ATM’s.

The higher revenues from service charges on deposits during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 primarily resulted from an increase in the number of checking accounts discussed above and secondarily from a higher frequency of overdrafts per account reflecting a change in policy which allows certain customers to incur debit card overdrafts.

Real estate income (loss) reflects the activity of a venture acquired as part of a financial institution acquisition during 2002. The decrease in real estate income during the current quarter resulted from a decline in units sold. During the current quarter, the venture closed on one unit and during the same 2005 period the venture closed on 8 units. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, the venture closed on 9 units and during the same 2005 period the venture closed on 20 units. The real estate development loss during the 2006 six month period reflects higher development and capitalized interest costs associated with units sold during the period. The higher development costs primarily resulted from an increase in the cost of building materials and a combination of higher labor costs and labor shortages resulting from the active real estate market, exacerbated by damage throughout the area from hurricanes over the past two years. During the second quarter of 2006 we received an appraisal of the properties held in the real estate inventory. The appraisal reflected that the estimated fair value of the real estate inventory was greater than the carrying amount. It is possible that we may experience additional losses at this development, depending on the rate of future sales, sales prices and development costs.

Securities activities, net during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 resulted from proceeds received in connection with the MasterCard International initial public offering. Securities activities, net during the corresponding 2005 periods represents the gain on sales of mortgage-backed securities available for sale.

Gains associated with debt redemption were the result of gains realized on the prepayment of $75 million of FHLB advances during the current quarter. The advances were scheduled to mature between 2008 and 2011 and had an average rate of 4.93%. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, $100 million of FHLB advances were redeemed. These advances were scheduled to mature between 2008 and 2011 and had a weighted average interest rate of 4.83%. BankAtlantic prepaid these advances as part of a market risk strategy to reduce the net effect of an asset sensitive portfolio on its net interest margin by shortening the average maturity of its outstanding interest-bearing liabilities.

Gain on sale of properties during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 primarily resulted from an exchange of branch facilities with a financial institution. The financial institution had a surplus branch facility from a recent acquisition and BankAtlantic was searching for a suitable branch site at that general location. As consideration, for this surplus branch BankAtlantic exchanged a small branch with the financial institution and recorded a gain equal to the appraised value of the branch transferred less its carrying value. The gain on sale of properties during the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 resulting from the sale of a lot adjacent to a branch.

The increase in other income during the three months ended June 30, 2006 reflects increased fees associated with higher balances and increased earnings credit from a third party teller check outsourcing servicer. Other income during the six months ended June 30, 2005 was favorably impacted by a $922,000 gain on the sale of a branch acquired in March 2002 in connection with the acquisition of a financial institution.

The significant increase in BankAtlantic’s non-interest expense primarily resulted from the branch expansion and renovation initiatives, increased advertising and promotion expenditures to maintain low cost deposit growth and the hiring of additional personnel for future store expansion and to maintain high customer service levels.

The substantial increase in employee compensation and benefits resulted primarily from “Florida’s Most Convenient Bank” initiatives and the expansion of BankAtlantic’s branch network. During the second quarter of 2006, BankAtlantic began hiring branch personnel for the anticipated opening of 14 stores during the latter half of 2006. Also, BankAtlantic hired personnel to support a second call center facility that began operation during the 2006 second quarter. Additionally, during the fourth quarter of 2005, BankAtlantic extended its branch hours and expanded its number of branches open to midnight. As a result of these initiatives, the number of full time equivalent employees increased to 2,638 at June 30, 2006 from 1,719 at June 30, 2005. Also contributing to the increased compensation costs were higher employee benefit costs, recruitment expenditures and temporary agency costs associated with maintaining a larger work force. Included in employee compensation costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 was $749,000 and $1.4 million, respectively, of share-based compensation costs recorded as part of the Company’s adoption of SFAS 123R. No such costs were recorded in 2005.

The significant increase in occupancy and equipment reflects higher building maintenance expenses required to support the renovated and expanded branch network, and higher costs associated with extended branch weekend and weekday hours. BankAtlantic also incurred increased occupancy costs associated with the opening of its new corporate center and expanded back-office facilities, which includes rent expense for the opening of a second call center and BankAtlantic University. BankAtlantic also incurred higher data processing costs related to new accounts. As a consequence of the above growth, depreciation, building repairs and maintenance and rent expense increased from $6.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 to $9.2 million for the comparable 2006 period. During the same three month period, data processing expense increased from $979,000 to $1.6 million. Depreciation, building repairs and maintenance and rent expense increased from $12.5 million to $17.4 million and data processing expense increased from $1.9 million to $3.1 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2006, respectively.

During the fourth quarter of 2005, BankAtlantic significantly expanded its advertising campaign in an effort to maintain the growth rates of low cost deposits. The additional expenditures for advertising include branch grand opening promotions as well as television, print media and radio advertising. During the 2006 quarter, BankAtlantic opened 58,000 new low cost deposit accounts, an increase of 19% over the corresponding 2005 quarter, and during the six months ended June 30, 2006, BankAtlantic opened 135,000 new low cost deposits accounts representing a 29% increase over the 2005 six month period.

Financial Services (Continued)

The cost associated with debt redemption was the result of a prepayment penalty incurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 when BankAtlantic prepaid $358.5 million and $384 million, respectively, of FHLB advances scheduled to mature in 2008 that had an average interest rate of 5.43% and 5.45%, respectively. BankAtlantic prepaid these advances as part of a market risk strategy to reduce the effect of an asset sensitive portfolio on its net interest margin by shortening the average maturity of its outstanding interest-bearing liabilities.

The lower expenses for professional fees during the 2006 periods, compared to the 2005 periods, primarily resulted from consulting costs and professional fees during the 2005 period associated with the compliance efforts relating to anti-terrorism and anti-money laundering laws and regulations. These professional fees declined as a result of BankAtlantic’s implementation of compliance procedures and the conclusion of related investigations by regulatory authorities.

The 2005 quarter includes a $3.7 million impairment charge associated with a decision to vacate and raze the Bank’s former headquarters.

BankAtlantic incurred a significant increase in check losses directly related to the increased number of low cost deposit accounts and the volume of checking account overdrafts. Also contributing to the losses was an increased number of fraudulent check cashing schemes and counterfeiting during the 2006 periods compared to 2005.

The increase in other non-interest expense during the quarter relates to an additional $308,000 in loan expense, $229,000 of fees remitted for maintaining attorney escrow accounts, and higher general operating expenses such as telephone, postage and check printing expense related to a significant increase in the number of customer accounts and the extended hours of the branch network. During the six month period the increase in non-interest expense reflects an $115,000 increase in loan expense and a $486,000 increase in attorney escrow accounts. The remaining increase in expenses for the period resulted from higher general operating expenses.

The lower effective tax rate during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same 2005 periods resulted from an increase in tax exempt income and a lower effective State income tax rate. Average tax exempt investments increased from $351.2 million and $368.3 million, respectively during the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 to $398.4 million and $395.8 million, respectively during the same 2006 periods. The lower State income tax effective rate reflects a change in earnings from State tax jurisdictions.

For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2006 Compared to the Same 2005 Period:

Ryan Beck recorded a loss of $2.4 million and $3.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, compared to a profit of $13.0 million and $15.6 million for the same 2005 periods. The 2006 net loss primarily resulted from lower revenues from investment banking and principal transactions activities, as well as increased compensation costs and direct expenses associated with the expansion in late 2005 of investment banking and capital markets activities, including expansion of municipal finance and trading areas. The 2005 net income was impacted significantly from one large investment banking transaction which contributed significant investment banking fees, principal transactions and commissions to the three and six month performance.

Net interest income was relatively flat for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the same 2005 periods. Included in interest income is Ryan Beck’s participation in interest income associated with approximately $247 million of customer margin debit balances. Principal transactions revenue decreased by 36% and 15% compared to the same three and six month periods in 2005, respectively, primarily due to a decrease in equity gross sales credits associated with the large investment banking transaction mentioned above. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in equity and fixed income trading gains during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006.

Financial Services (Continued)

Investment banking revenue decreased by 87% and 81% compared to the same three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005. The decrease resulted principally from the large underwriting transaction which occurred in the second quarter of 2005 along with decreased deal activity in the markets where Ryan Beck does business.

Commission revenue increased by 12% and 13% from the same three and six months ended June 30, 2005, attributable mainly to increased equity transactions, and managed money fee revenues.

Other income is primarily comprised of rebates received on customer money market balances and inactive fees received on customer accounts.

Employee compensation and benefits decreased by 15% and 2% from the same three and six month periods of 2005, primarily due to a decrease in discretionary incentive compensation and commission expense as a result of the decreased investment banking revenue in 2006 versus 2005. This decrease was partially offset by increased salaries and guaranteed bonuses associated with the firm’s capital markets and investment banking unit expansion.

Advertising and market development decreased 32% and 4% from the same three and six month periods of 2005, mainly due to reductions in Ryan Beck’s advertising campaign which ran through the second quarter of 2005 offset by increased travel and entertainment expenses caused primarily by the expansion of Ryan Beck’s capital markets business.

Professional fees increased 20% and 28% from the same three and six month periods of 2005. The increase is primarily due to an increase in legal expenses and settlement reserves.

Communications increased 12% and 17% from the same three and six month periods of 2005. This increase was primarily due to the addition of offices and the increase in capital markets personnel in 2006.

The increase in floor brokerage, exchange and clearing fees of 6% and 11% from the same three and six month periods of 2006 is due to an increase in transactional business in 2006 compared to 2005. This increase was reflected in the 3% and 5% increase in tickets processed for the quarter to 245,000 for 2006 versus 237,000 for 2005 and for the six month period to 510,000 for 2006 versus 485,000 for 2005.

The effective tax rate decreased by 1.62% from the three months ended June 30, 2005 and increased by 2.76% from the six month period ended June 30, 2006. The change in the effective rates during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 primarily resulted from changes in the fair value of corporate owned life insurance and an increase in tax exempt income due to the expansion of the municipal finance trading area.

During the six months ended June 30, 2005, interest and dividend income consisted of interest on loans to Levitt of $557,000, interest and dividends from managed funds of $675,000, and interest income associated with a BankAtlantic repurchase agreement account of $59,000.

Interest expense increased during the three and six months of 2006, compared to the same 2005 period, as a result of higher interest rates during 2006 compared to 2005. The Company’s junior subordinated debentures average balances were $263.3 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, of which $128.9 million accrue interest at floating rates.

Income from unconsolidated subsidiaries during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 represents $156,000 and $306,000, respectively, of equity earnings from trusts formed to issue trust preferred securities as part of trust preferred securities financings and $122,000 and $792,000, respectively, of equity earnings from a rental real estate joint venture.

Income from unconsolidated subsidiaries during the three months ended June 30, 2005 represents equity earnings from trusts formed to issue trust preferred securities.

Financial Services (Continued)

Securities activities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 represent gains from managed funds. During the 2006 quarter and six month period, the Parent Company sold $33.8 and $40.3 million, respectively, of equity securities from its portfolio for gains as shown on the above table. The proceeds from the sale of equity securities were reinvested in equity securities. The gains on the securities partially offset higher interest expense on junior subordinated debentures. The Parent Company anticipates continuing this strategy in subsequent periods.

Other income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 represented fees received by the Company for investor relations and risk management services provided by the Company to Levitt and BFC. During 2006, these services were provided to the Company by BFC and are reflected in other expenses.

The Company’s compensation expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 represents salaries and bonuses for executive officers of the Company as well as recruitment expenses. Additional compensation expense during 2006 also included payroll taxes associated with the exercise of stock options and $198,000 and $425,000, respectively, of share-based compensation costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006.

The Company’s compensation expense during 2005 represents salaries for investor relations, risk management and executive management personnel as well as additional payroll taxes from the exercise of stock options. This expense was partially offset by income received from Levitt and BFC for these services performed by the Company’s employees.

The increase in professional fees during the 2006 second quarter compared to the same 2005 period resulted from equity securities portfolio management fees and additional 2005 internal control compliance costs assessed during 2006. The reduction in professional fees during the six months ended June 30, 2006 resulting from costs incurred related to internal control and compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act being allocated to the Company’s subsidiaries during 2006. These expenses were not allocated to the Company’s subsidiaries during 2005.

The increase in other expenses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to 2005 primarily resulted from fees paid to BFC for investor relations, risk management and executive management personnel services provided to the Company by BFC. These expenses were primarily reflected in compensation expense during the 2005 period.

BankAtlantic Bancorp Consolidated Financial Condition

Total assets at June 30, 2006 were $6.4 billion compared to $6.5 billion at December 31, 2005. The changes in components of total assets from December 31, 2005 to June 30, 2006 are summarized below:

	•		Decrease in securities owned associated with Ryan Beck’s trading activities;

	•		Decline in securities available for sale reflecting an investment strategy to limit asset growth in response to the relatively flat yield curve during the period;

	•		Higher investment securities balances due to purchases of tax certificates at annual auctions;

	•		Lower investment in FHLB stock related to repayments of FHLB advances;

	•		Decline in loan receivable balances associated with lower commercial real estate loan balances primarily resulting from a decision to cease condominium lending, and $112 million of participations sold being treated as loan sales instead of secured borrowings as a result of management’s decision to amend the related participation agreements;

	•		Increase in accrued interest receivable resulting from higher rates on earning assets during the period partially offset by lower earning asset balances;

	•		Decline in investment in unconsolidated subsidiaries due to a capital distribution from an investment in a rental real estate joint venture partially offset by a $4.1 million investment in another rental real estate joint venture during the first quarter of 2006;

	•		Increase in office properties and equipment associated with BankAtlantic’s branch expansion initiatives;

	•		Increase in deferred tax asset primarily resulting from a decline in other comprehensive income; and

	•		Increase in other assets from higher accrued revenues at Ryan Beck as well as higher prepaid expenses and leasehold improvement allowances.

The Company’s total liabilities at June 30, 2006 were $5.9 billion compared to $6.0 billion at December 31, 2005. The changes in components of total liabilities from December 31, 2005 to June 30, 2006 are summarized below:

	•		Higher deposit account balances resulting from growth in low-cost deposits;

	•		Decrease in FHLB advances balances reflecting redemptions of long term advances as part of a strategy to reduce asset sensitivity in our net interest margin;

	•		Decrease in secured borrowings (associated with loan participations sold without recourse that are accounted for as secured borrowings) due to loan repayments and a management decision to amend participation sold agreements to qualify as loan sales instead of secured borrowing arrangements;

	•		Increase in short-term borrowings to fund redemptions of FHLB advances and the purchase of tax certificates;

	•		Increase in securities sold but not yet purchased and due to clearing agents relating to Ryan Beck’s trading activities;

	•		Declines in other liabilities associated with a reduction in Ryan Beck’s accrued employee compensation and benefits reflecting the payout of 2005 annual bonuses during the first quarter of 2006 as well as the reduction in a $10 million reserve for the AML/BSA compliance matters based on payment of that amount.

Stockholders’ equity at June 30, 2006 was $520.7 million compared to $516.3 million at December 31, 2005. The increase was primarily attributable to: earnings of $14.8 million, a $8.9 million increase in additional paid in capital related to the issuance of common stock and associated tax benefits upon the exercise of stock options, a $2.2 million increase in additional paid-in-capital associated with the expensing of share-based compensation. The above increases in stockholders’ equity were partially offset by a $3.6 million reduction in additional paid in capital for the purchase and retirement of Class A common stock, $4.7 million of common stock dividends, a $6.4 million change in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of income tax benefits, and a $7.0 million reduction in additional paid in capital from the acceptance of Class A common stock as consideration for the payment of withholding taxes and the exercise price associated with the exercise of Class A stock options.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. Liquidity and Capital Resources

In May 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to 6,000,000 shares of its Class A common stock. No termination date was set for the buyback program. The shares will be purchased on the open market, although the Company may purchase shares through private transactions. The Company plans to fund the share repurchase program primarily through the sale of equity securities from its securities portfolio. During the six months ended June 30, 2006 the Company repurchased and retired 250,000 shares of Class A common stock at a redemption price of $3.6 million.

The Company’s principal source of liquidity is dividends from BankAtlantic and, to a lesser extent, Ryan Beck. The Company also obtains funds through the issuance of equity and debt securities, borrowings from financial institutions, and liquidation of equity securities and other investments. The Company uses these funds to contribute capital to its subsidiaries, pay dividends, pay debt service, repay borrowings, purchase equity securities, invest in rental real estate joint ventures and fund operations. The Company’s annual debt service associated with its junior subordinated debentures is approximately $20.6 million. The Company’s estimated current annual dividends to common shareholders are approximately $9.3 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company received $10.0 million of dividends from BankAtlantic. The declaration and payment of dividends and the ability of the Company to meet its debt service obligations will depend upon the results of operations, financial condition and cash requirements of the Company, as well as indenture restrictions and the ability of BankAtlantic to pay dividends to the Company. These payments are subject to regulations and OTS approval and are based upon BankAtlantic’s regulatory capital levels and net income.

As previously disclosed, the Company would like to monetize a portion of the Company’s investment in Ryan Beck. To that end, Ryan Beck Holdings, Inc. filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission in April 2006 for an initial public offering of shares of its Class A Common Stock. The Company expects to retain a substantial interest in Ryan Beck subsequent to the public offering or any other financial transaction. The Company has postponed the Ryan Beck initial public offering due to a combination of current equity market conditions and Ryan Beck’s recent financial performance. The Company anticipates that it will move forward with efforts to monetize a portion of its investment in Ryan Beck when market conditions and Ryan Beck’s performance improves.

Ryan Beck did not pay any dividends to the Company during 2005, and except in connection with any possible financial transaction, it is not expected that Ryan Beck will make dividend payments to the Company in the foreseeable future.

The Company has invested $80.3 million in equity securities with a money manager. The equity securities had a fair value of $85.6 million as of June 30, 2006. It is anticipated that these funds will be invested in this manner until needed to fund the operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, which may include acquisitions, BankAtlantic’s branch expansion and renovation strategy, retirement of Class A common stock or other business purposes. The Company has also utilized this portfolio of equity securities as a source of liquidity to pay debt service on its borrowings.

The Company has established revolving credit facilities aggregating $30 million with two independent financial institutions. The credit facilities contain customary financial covenants relating to regulatory capital, debt service coverage and the maintenance of certain loan loss reserves. These facilities are secured by the common stock of BankAtlantic. At June 30, 2006, the Company was in compliance with all covenants contained in the facilities. The Company had no outstanding borrowings under these credit facilities at June 30, 2006.

BankAtlantic Liquidity and Capital Resources

BankAtlantic’s liquidity will depend on its ability to generate sufficient cash to support loan demand, to meet deposit withdrawals, to fund branch expansion and asset growth, and to pay operating expenses.

Financial Services (Continued)

BankAtlantic’s securities portfolio provides an internal source of liquidity through its short-term investments as well as scheduled maturities and interest payments. Loan repayments and sales also provide an internal source of liquidity.

BankAtlantic’s primary sources of funds are deposits; principal repayments of loans, tax certificates and investment securities; proceeds from the sale of loans and securities available for sale; proceeds from securities sold under agreements to repurchase and federal funds purchased; advances from FHLB; interest payments on loans and securities; and other funds generated by operations. These funds were primarily utilized to fund loan disbursements and purchases, deposit outflows, repayments of securities sold under agreements to repurchase, repayments of advances from FHLB, purchases of tax certificates and investment securities, payments of maturing certificates of deposit, acquisitions of properties and equipment, operating expenses and dividends to the Company. The FHLB has granted BankAtlantic a line of credit capped at 40% of assets subject to available collateral, with a maximum term of ten years. BankAtlantic had utilized its FHLB line of credit to borrow $1.1 billion as of June 30, 2006. The line of credit is secured by a blanket lien on BankAtlantic’s residential mortgage loans and certain commercial real estate and consumer loans. BankAtlantic’s remaining available borrowings under this line of credit were approximately $1.2 billion at June 30, 2006. BankAtlantic has established lines of credit for up to $582.9 million with other banks to purchase federal funds of which $205 million was outstanding as of June 30, 2006. BankAtlantic has also established a $6.0 million potential advance with the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. During the 2005 third quarter, BankAtlantic became a participating institution in the Federal Reserve Treasury Investment Program and at June 30, 2006, $19.3 million of short term borrowings were outstanding under this program. BankAtlantic also has various relationships to acquire brokered deposits, which may be utilized as an alternative source of liquidity, if needed. At June 30, 2006, BankAtlantic had no outstanding brokered deposits.

BankAtlantic’s commitments to originate and purchase loans at June 30, 2006 were $350.4 million and $145.0 million, respectively, compared to $421.2 million and $13.0 million, respectively, at June 30, 2005. Additionally, BankAtlantic had no commitments to purchase mortgage-backed securities.

At June 30, 2006, BankAtlantic had investments and mortgage-backed securities of approximately $223.4 million pledged against securities sold under agreements to repurchase (retail and wholesale), $26.3 million pledged against public deposits, $50.4 million pledged against the Federal Reserve Treasury Investment Program, and $57.3 million pledged against treasury tax and loan accounts.

BankAtlantic in 2004 began a de novo branch expansion strategy under which it opened 8 branches during the past 18 months. At June 30, 2006, BankAtlantic had $6.2 million of commitments to purchase land for branch expansion. BankAtlantic has entered into operating land leases and has purchased various parcels of land for future branch construction throughout Florida. BankAtlantic plans to open up to 12 branches during the latter half of 2006, subject to required regulatory approvals. The estimated cost of opening and relocating these branches is expected to be approximately $40 million. BankAtlantic has announced that it intends to open up to 24 branches during 2007. The capital expenditures for this branch expansion are estimated to be approximately $80 million.

Ryan Beck & Co., Inc. Liquidity and Capital Resources

Ryan Beck’s primary sources of funds during the six months ended June 30, 2006 were clearing broker borrowings, proceeds from the sale of securities owned, proceeds from securities sold but not yet purchased, loan repayments and fees from customers. These funds were primarily utilized to pay operating expenses and fund capital expenditures. As part of the Gruntal transaction in 2002, Ryan Beck acquired all of the membership interests in The GMS Group, LLC (“GMS”). During 2003, Ryan Beck sold GMS for $22.6 million, receiving cash proceeds of $9.0 million and a $13.6 million promissory note. The note is secured by the membership interests in GMS and requires GMS to maintain certain capital and financial ratios. The promissory note was repaid in full in June 2006.

In the ordinary course of business, Ryan Beck borrows funds under agreements with its clearing brokers and pledges securities owned as collateral primarily to finance its trading inventories. The amount and terms of the borrowings are subject to the lending policies of the clearing brokers and can be changed at the clearing brokers’ discretion. Additionally, the amount financed is also impacted by the market value of the securities pledged as collateral.

Ryan Beck enters into various transactions involving derivatives and other off-balance sheet financial instruments. These financial instruments include futures, mortgage-backed to-be-announced securities (TBAs) and securities purchased and sold on a when-issued basis (when-issued securities). These derivative financial instruments are used to meet the needs of customers, conduct trading activities, and manage market risks and are, therefore, subject to varying degrees of market and credit risk. Derivative transactions are entered into for trading purposes or to economically hedge other positions or transactions.

Ryan Beck is subject to the net capital provision of Rule 15c3-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital. Additionally, Ryan Beck, as a market maker, is subject to supplemental requirements of Rule 15c3-1(a) 4, which provides for the computation of net capital to be based on the number of and price of issues in which markets are made by Ryan Beck, not to exceed $1.0 million. Ryan Beck’s regulatory net capital was $26.0 million, which was $25.0 million in excess of its required net capital of $1.0 million at June 30, 2006.

Financial Services (Continued)

Ryan Beck operates under the provisions of paragraph (k)(2)(ii) of Rule 15c3-3 of the Securities and Exchange Commission as a fully disclosed introducing broker and, accordingly, customer accounts are carried on the books of the clearing brokers. However, Ryan Beck safe keeps and redeems municipal bond coupons for the benefit of its customers. Accordingly, Ryan Beck is subject to the provisions of SEC Rule 15c3-3 relating to possession or control and customer reserve requirements and was in compliance with such provisions at June 30, 2006.”

Homebuilding & Real Estate Development

Our Homebuilding & Real Estate Development segment consists of Levitt, which is consolidated with BFC Financial Corporation. The only assets available to BFC Financial Corporation are dividends when and if paid by Levitt. Levitt is a separate public company and its management prepared the following discussion regarding Levitt which was included in Levitt’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, references to the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our” in the following discussion under the caption “Homebuilding & Real Estate Development” are references to Levitt and its subsidiaries, and are not references to BFC Financial Corporation.

“The objective of the following discussion is to provide an understanding of the financial condition and results of operations of Levitt Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries (“Levitt”, or the “Company”) as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. The Company may also be referred to as “we,” “us,” or “our.” We engage in real estate activities through our homebuilding, land development and other real estate activities through Levitt and Sons, LLC (“Levitt and Sons”), Core Communities, LLC (“Core Communities”) and other operations, which includes Levitt Commercial, LLC (“Levitt Commercial”), an investment in Bluegreen Corporation (“Bluegreen”) and investments in real estate projects through subsidiaries and joint ventures. Acquired in December 1999, Levitt and Sons is a developer of single and multi-family home and townhome communities and condominiums for active adults and families in Florida, Georgia, Tennessee and South Carolina. Levitt and Sons includes the operations of Bowden Building Corporation, a developer of single family homes based in Tennessee, which was acquired in April 2004. Core Communities develops master-planned communities and is currently developing Tradition Florida, which is located in Port St. Lucie, Florida, and Tradition South Carolina, which is located in Hardeeville, South Carolina. Tradition Florida is planned to ultimately include more than 8,200 total acres, including approximately five miles of frontage on Interstate 95, and Tradition South Carolina currently encompasses 5,400 acres with 1.5 million square feet of commercial space. Levitt Commercial specializes in the development of industrial properties. Bluegreen, a New York Stock Exchange-listed company in which we own approximately 31% of the outstanding common stock, is engaged in the acquisition, development, marketing and sale of ownership interests in primarily “drive-to” vacation resorts, and the development and sale of golf communities and residential land.

Homebuilding & Real Estate Development (Continued)

involved in the foregoing. Many of these factors are beyond our control. The Company cautions that the foregoing factors are not exclusive.

Executive Overview

We evaluate our performance and prospects using a variety of financial and non-financial measures. The key financial measures utilized to evaluate historical operating performance include revenues from sales of real estate, margin (which we measure as revenues from sales of real estate minus cost of sales of real estate), margin percentage (which we measure as margin divided by revenues from sales of real estate), income (loss) before taxes, net income (loss) and return on equity. We also continue to evaluate and monitor the selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue. Non-financial measures used to evaluate historical performance include the number and value of new orders executed, the number of housing starts and the number of homes delivered. In evaluating our future prospects, management considers non-financial information such as the number of homes and acres in backlog (which we measure as homes or land subject to an executed sales contract) and the aggregate value of those contracts. Additionally, we monitor the number of properties remaining in inventory and under contract to be purchased relative to our sales and construction trends. Our ratio of debt to shareholders’ equity and cash requirements are also considered when evaluating our future prospects, as are general economic factors and interest rate trends. Each of the above measures is discussed in the following sections as it relates to our operating results, financial position and liquidity. The list of measures above is not an exhaustive list, and management may from time to time utilize additional financial and non-financial information or may not use the measures listed above.

Homebuilding Overview

The trends in the homebuilding industry have generally been unfavorable in 2006. Demand has slowed as evidenced by fewer new orders and lower conversion rates in the markets in which we operate. These conditions have been particularly difficult in Florida, and we believe are the result of changing homebuyer sentiment, reluctance of buyers to commit to a new home purchase because of uncertainty in their ability to sell their existing home, rising mortgage financing expenses, and an increase in both existing and new homes available for sale across the industry. As a result of these conditions, higher expenses are being incurred for advertising, outside brokers and other incentives in an effort to remain competitive and attract buyers. Selling, general and administrative costs have increased significantly in 2006 due to increased headcount associated with expansion into new communities and regions, and expenditures necessary to increase traffic to our sales centers and improve conversion rates. This is slightly offset by the reduction of overhead costs associated with communities in the later stages of the home production cycle. To the extent possible given the existing commitments, costs are being monitored with a view to aligning overhead spending with new orders and home closings given the existing communities. In July 2006, in response to slowing conditions, we reduced our Homebuilding Division’s workforce by 69 employees, or 10.6%. Annual cash savings are expected to be approximately $4.2 million. We are continuing to review our spending to ensure the costs are commensurate with backlog, sales and deliveries.

In our Homebuilding Division, we conducted our periodic impairment review of goodwill related to our Tennessee operations in the three months ended June 30, 2006. The profitability and estimated cash flows of the reporting entity declined to a point where the carrying value of the assets exceeded their market value resulting in a write-down of goodwill in the amount of approximately $1.3 million which is included in other expenses in the unaudited statements of operations in the three and six months ended June 30, 2006. Our Tennessee operations have delivered lower than expected margins. In the three months ended June 30, 2006, key management personnel left the Company and we continued to experience significant start-up costs associated with expansion from the Memphis to the Nashville market. We also experienced a downward trend in home deliveries in our Tennessee operations in the three months ended June 30, 2006. We conducted an impairment review of our inventory of real estate associated with our Tennessee operations and recorded an impairment charge related to the write-down of inventory of approximately $4.7 million which is reflected in other expenses in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations in the three and six months ended June 30, 2006. Projections of future cash flows related to the remaining assets were discounted and used to determine the estimated impairment charge. Management is currently

Homebuilding & Real Estate Development (Continued)

evaluating various strategies for our assets in Tennessee. As a result, additional impairment charges may be necessary in the future based on changes in estimates or actual selling prices of these assets.

While various land acquisitions continue to be considered as potential inventory for future years, we have slowed the pace of land acquisitions, and all contracts for acquisition are being re-evaluated to determine if completion of the transaction is prudent. Development continues on land we have acquired in Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina as we diversify and expand our operations. Three new communities opened for sales during the quarter ended June 30, 2006. The value of our backlog has grown since December 31, 2005, reflecting higher average selling prices and increased units. While the average selling prices of our homes have increased over the last several years and allowed us to more than offset rising construction costs, sales prices in the current market in Florida are subject to downward pressure associated with a highly competitive market and the need to offer buyer incentives and other programs to increase sales. Therefore, margins may come under pressure as there does not appear to be any near-term moderation of costs. We continue to focus on quality control and customer satisfaction through the use of initiatives aimed at improving our customer experience, referral rate and competitive position.

Land Development Overview

Land Division revenues have historically been generated primarily from two master-planned communities located in St. Lucie County, Florida — St. Lucie West and Tradition, Florida. Development activity in St. Lucie West was completed during the quarter ended June 30, 2006 with the sale of the final four acres of inventory. The master-planned community, Tradition, Florida encompasses more than 8,200 total acres, including approximately 5,800 net saleable acres. Approximately 1,650 acres had been sold and 84 acres were subject to firm sales contracts with various purchasers as of June 30, 2006. Traffic into the information center at Tradition, Florida has slowed in connection with the overall slowdown in the Florida homebuilding market, as well as the current availability of residential real estate inventory approved for development. However, discussions on potential transactions with homebuilders and commercial developers remain active. Our newest master-planned community, Tradition, South Carolina, which we acquired in 2005, encompasses 5,390 total acres, including approximately 3,000 net saleable acres and is currently entitled for up to 9,500 residential units and 1.5 million feet of commercial space, in addition to recreational areas, educational facilities and emergency services. Development commenced in the first quarter of 2006 and our first sale in South Carolina is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2006.

The Land Division remains active in developing and marketing the master-planned communities. In addition to sales of parcels to homebuilders, the Land Division continues to expand its operations involving commercial properties through sales to developers and internally developing certain projects for leasing. In addition to sales to third party homebuilders and commercial developers, the Land Division periodically sells residential land to the Homebuilding Division.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Critical accounting policies are those policies that are important to the understanding of our financial statements and may also involve estimates and judgments about inherently uncertain matters. In preparing our financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates require the exercise of judgment, as future events cannot be determined with certainty. Accordingly, actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in subsequent periods relate to the valuation of (i) real estate, including the estimation of costs required to complete development of a property; (ii) investments in real estate joint ventures and unconsolidated subsidiaries (including Bluegreen); (iii) the fair market value of assets and liabilities in the application of the purchase method of accounting; (iv) assumptions used in the analysis of discounted cash flows of the Tennessee operations; and (v) assumptions used in the valuation of stock based compensation. The accounting policies that we have identified as critical to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations are: (a) real estate inventories; (b) investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries; (c) homesite contracts and consolidation of variable interest entities; (d) revenue recognition; (e) capitalized interest; (f) income taxes and (g) accounting for share-based compensation. For a more detailed discussion of these critical accounting policies see “Critical Accounting Policies” appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company currently uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options. The determination of the fair value of option awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model is affected by the stock price and assumptions regarding the expected stock price volatility over the expected term of the awards, expected term of the awards, risk-free interest rate, expected forfeiture rate and expected dividends. If factors change and the Company uses different assumptions for estimating stock-based compensation expense in future periods or if the Company decides to use a different valuation model, the amounts recorded in future periods may differ significantly from the amounts recorded in the current period and could affect net income and earnings per share.

The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. These characteristics are not present in the Company’s option awards. Existing valuation models, including the Black-Scholes may not provide reliable measures of the fair values of stock options. As a consequence, the Company’s estimates of the fair values of stock option awards on the grant dates may be materially different than the actual values realized on those option awards in the future. Employee stock options may expire worthless while the Company records compensation expense in its financial statements. Also, amounts may be realized from exercises of stock options that are significantly higher than the fair values originally estimated on the grant date and reported in the Company’s financial statements.

For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2006 Compared to the Same 2005 Period:

Consolidated net (loss) income decreased $6.8 million, or 112.2%, for the three months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the same period in 2005. The decrease in net (loss) income was the result of higher selling, general and administrative expenses in all of the Divisions. In addition, other expenses increased as a result of the impairment charges in the Homebuilding Division. Further, Bluegreen Corporation’s earnings decreased during the three months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the same period in 2005. These increases in expenses were partially offset by increases in margins on sales of real estate and interest and other income associated with the Land Divisions commercial operations.

Our revenues from sales of real estate increased 22.0% to $130.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 from $107.1 million for the same period in 2005. In the three months ended June 30, 2005, the Land Division did not deliver any parcels, recording revenues of $149,000 associated with lot premiums, while during the same period in 2006, the Land Division’s sales of real estate totaled $14.1 million. Additionally revenues from home sales increased to $116.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2006, compared to $107.1 million for the same period in 2005. During the three months ended June 30, 2006, 392 homes were delivered as compared to 448 homes delivered during the same period in 2005. Despite the decrease in deliveries, revenues increased, largely as a result of an increase in average selling price of deliveries, which increased from $239,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to $297,000 for the same period in 2006. The increase in the average price of our homes delivered was due to the price increases initiated throughout 2005 in the face of strong demand, particularly in Florida.

Cost of sales increased 19.4% to $100.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to the same period in 2005. The increase in cost of sales was attributable to land sales recorded by the Land Division, as well as greater costs of sales associated with the Homebuilding Division. Cost of sales as a percentage of related revenue decreased to 77.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to approximately 78.9% for the same period in 2005, due mainly to the margins realized by the Land Division. In the three months

Homebuilding & Real Estate Development (Continued)

ended June 30, 2006, the Land Division delivered 48.5 acres at a margin of 45.2% while it did not have any deliveries during the same period in 2005.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $11.0 million to $30.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $19.5 million during the same period in 2005 primarily as a result of higher employee compensation and benefits, increased recruiting costs, advertising costs and professional services expenses. Employee compensation and benefit costs increased by approximately $3.8 million, from $9.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2005 to $13.0 million for the same period in 2006. This increase relates to the number of our full time employees, increasing to 765 at June 30, 2006 from 576 at June 30, 2005, mainly related to the continued expansion of the Homebuilding activities and support functions. Approximately $612,000 of the increase in compensation expense was associated with non-cash stock based compensation for which no expense was recorded in the same period in 2005. We also experienced an increase in advertising and outside broker expense in the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005 due to the increased advertising for three new communities that were opened during the quarter and the increased advertising and outside broker costs associated with attracting buyers during the recent slowdown experienced in the homebuilding market. Lastly, professional services increased due to non-capitalizable consulting services performed in the three months ended June 30, 2006 related to our systems implementation. These expenses consist of documentation of process flows, training and other validation procedures that are being performed in connection with the system implementation. These costs did not exist in the three months ended June 30, 2005. As a percentage of total revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 23.0% during the three months ended June 30, 2006, from 18.1% during the same 2005 period due to the increases in overhead spending. As noted in the overview section, management is reviewing our overhead spending to ensure the costs are commensurate with backlog, sales and deliveries.

Interest incurred and capitalized totaled $9.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2006 and $4.1 million for the same period in 2005. Interest incurred was higher due to higher outstanding balances of notes and mortgage notes payable, as well as increases in the average interest rate on our variable-rate debt. At the time of home closings and land sales, the capitalized interest allocated to such inventory is charged to cost of sales. Cost of sales of real estate for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 included previously capitalized interest of approximately $3.0 million and $2.7 million, respectively.

Other expenses increased to $6.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2006 from $626,000 for the same period in 2005. This increase was primarily attributable to impairment charges in the three months ended June 30, 2006 of approximately $6.0 million which consisted of $1.3 million in goodwill and $4.7 million related to the write-down of inventory in our Homebuilding Division associated with our Tennessee operations. Projections of future cash flows related to the remaining assets were discounted and used to determine the estimated impairment charges. Management is currently evaluating various strategies for our assets in Tennessee. As a result, additional impairment charges may be necessary in the future based on changes in estimates or actual selling prices of these assets.

Bluegreen reported net income for the three months ended June 30, 2006 of $6.6 million, as compared to net income of $14.9 million for the same period in 2005. Our interest in Bluegreen’s earnings, net of purchase accounting adjustments, was $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 period compared to our interest in Bluegreen’s earnings of $4.7 million for the same period in 2005.

Interest and other income increased from $1.5 million during the three months ending June 30, 2005 to $3.1 million during the same period in 2006. This change was primarily related to a $1.3 million gain on sale of fixed assets from our Land Division, an increase in lease and irrigation income from our Land Division, and higher interest income generated by our various interest bearing deposits.

For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2006 Compared to the Same 2005 Period:

Consolidated net (loss) income decreased $37.2 million, or 103.9%, for the six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the same period in 2005. The decrease in net (loss) income was the result of decreased margins on

Homebuilding & Real Estate Development (Continued)

sales of real estate by our Land Division and Other Operations and higher selling, general and administrative expenses associated with Other Operations and the Homebuilding Division. In addition, other expenses increased as a result of the impairment charges in the Homebuilding Division. Further, Bluegreen Corporation experienced a decline in earnings in the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in interest and other income associated with the Land Divisions’ commercial operations.

Our revenues from sales of real estate decreased 16.3% to $256.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 from $306.0 million for the same period in 2005. This decrease was primarily attributable to the decrease in the Land Divisions and Other Operations sales of real estate in the six months ended June 30, 2006. In the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Land Division recorded land sales of $66.7 million while during the same period in 2006, the Land Division’s sales of real estate totaled $21.3 million. The large decrease is attributable to a bulk land sale of 1,294 acres for $64.7 million recorded by the Land Division in the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to 105 acres sold by the Land Division for the same period in 2006. Revenues for 2005 also reflect sales of flex warehouse properties as Levitt Commercial delivered 44 flex warehouse units at two of its development projects, generating revenues of $14.7 million. Levitt Commercial did not deliver any units during the six months ended June 30, 2006. These decreases were slightly offset by an increase in revenues from home sales. Revenues from home sales increased to $234.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $225.1 million for the same period in 2005. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, 831 homes were delivered as compared to 949 homes delivered during the same period in 2005, however the average selling price of deliveries increased to $283,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 from $237,000 for the same period in 2005. The increase in the average price of our homes delivered was the result of price increases initiated throughout 2005 in the face of strong demand, particularly in Florida.

Cost of sales decreased 5.7% to $203.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to the same period in 2005. The decrease in cost of sales was due to fewer land sales recorded by the Land Division and Other Operations. Cost of sales as a percentage of related revenue was approximately 79.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to approximately 70.3% for the same period in 2005, due mainly to distribution of cost of sales between the Homebuilding and Land Division. In the six months ended June 30, 2006 Land Division and Other Operations, which typically generate larger margin percentages, comprised 7% of total Cost of Sales, compared to 18% for the same period in 2005. In the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Land Division delivered 105 acres consisting of commercial land, residential land, and finished lots, at a margin of 40%, while delivering 1,304 acres at a margin of 59% during the same period in 2005.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $14.6 million to $57.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $42.6 million during the same period in 2005 primarily as a result of higher employee compensation and benefits, recruiting costs, advertising costs and professional services expenses. Employee compensation costs increased by approximately $4.3 million, from $21.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2005 to $25.3 million for the same period in 2006. This increase relates to the number of full time employees which increased from 576 at June 30, 2005 to 765 at June 30, 2006 primarily as a result of the continued expansion of the Homebuilding activities and support functions. Further, approximately $1.3 million of the increase in compensation expense was associated with non-cash stock based compensation for which no expense was recorded in the same period in 2005. We also experienced an increase in advertising and outside broker expense in the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005 due to the increased advertising and outside broker costs for three new communities that were opened during 2006 and the increased advertising and outside broker costs associated with attracting buyers during the recent slowdown experienced in the homebuilding market. Lastly, professional services increased due to non-capitalizable consulting services performed in the six months ended June 30, 2006 related to our systems implementation. These expenses consist of documentation of process flows, training and other validation procedures that are being performed in connection with the system implementation. These costs did not exist in the six months ended June 30, 2005. As a percentage of total revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 22.2% during the six months ended June 30, 2006, from 13.8% during the same period in 2005 due to the increases in overhead spending noted above coupled with the decline in total revenues generated from our Land Division. As noted in the overview section, management is reviewing our overhead spending to ensure the costs are commensurate with backlog, sales and deliveries.

Homebuilding & Real Estate Development (Continued)

Interest incurred and capitalized totaled $17.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 period and $7.6 million for the same period in 2005. Interest incurred was higher due to higher outstanding balances of notes and mortgage notes payable, as well as an increase in the average interest rate on our variable-rate debt. At the time of home closings and land sales, the capitalized interest allocated to such inventory is charged to cost of sales. Cost of sales of real estate for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 included previously capitalized interest of approximately $5.7 million, and $5.3 million, respectively.

Other expenses increased to $7.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2006 from $1.9 million in the same period in 2005. The increase was primarily attributable to impairment charges in the six months ended June 30, 2006 of approximately $6.0 million which consisted of $1.3 million in goodwill and $4.7 million related to the write-down of inventory in our Homebuilding Division associated with our Tennessee operations. Projections of future cash flows related to the remaining assets were discounted and used to determine the estimated impairment charges. Management is currently evaluating various strategies for our assets in Tennessee. As a result, additional impairment charges may be necessary in the future based on changes in estimates or actual selling prices of these assets. These increases were slightly offset by a decrease due to a $677,000 penalty on debt prepayment which was a charge incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2005 at our Land Division. The penalty arose from the repayment of indebtedness under a line of credit using the proceeds of the bulk land sale described above.

Bluegreen reported net income for the six months ended June 30, 2006 of $6.1 million, as compared to net income of $21.3 million for the same period in 2005. Our interest in Bluegreen’s earnings, net of purchase accounting adjustments, was $2.1 million for the 2006 period compared to $6.9 million for the same period in 2005.

Interest and other income increased from $2.8 million during the six months ending June 30, 2005 to $5.0 million during the same period in 2006. This change was primarily related to a $1.3 million gain on sale of fixed assets from our Land Division, an increase in lease and irrigation income from our Land Division, and higher interest income generated by our various interest bearing deposits.

For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2006 Compared to the Same 2005 Period:

Revenues from home sales were up 8.9% at $116.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2006, compared to $107.1 million for the same period in 2005. During the three months ended June 30, 2006, 392 homes were delivered as compared to 448 homes delivered during the three months ended June 30, 2005. However, we experienced an increase in revenues due to an increase in the average price of our homes delivered due to the price increases initiated throughout 2005 in the face of strong demand, particularly in Florida. As discussed earlier there has been a general slowdown in the Florida market and management believes that price increases are not currently possible and additional sales incentives may be required in order to maintain sales levels.

The value of new orders decreased to $117.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006, from $133.9 million for the same period in 2005. During the three months ended June 30, 2006, new unit orders decreased to 332 units, from 429 units during the same period in 2005. The decrease in new unit orders was the result of softening in markets as traffic trended downward and conversion rates slowed. The decrease in new orders was offset by the average sales price of new home orders increasing 13.1% to $353,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006, from $312,000 during the same periods in 2005. Higher selling prices are primarily a reflection of a reduction of the percentage of sales in our Tennessee operations which historically have yielded lower average sales prices, as well as the price increases that occurred throughout 2005 that were maintained in the first six months of

Homebuilding & Real Estate Development (Continued)

2006. Construction starts increased as we continue to open new communities and implement our inventory management and production strategies for orders in 2005 and the six months ended June 30, 2006. The average sales price of the homes in backlog at June 30, 2006 increased 23.3% to $339,000, from $275,000 at June 30, 2005.

Cost of sales increased 9.9% to $92.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the same period in 2005. The increase in cost of sales was primarily due to the increased revenue from home sales and higher construction costs. The costs of labor and building materials continue to rise. The sales prices of homes in our backlog cannot be increased and the margins on the delivery of homes in backlog may be adversely affected by this trend.

Margin percentage (which we define as sales of real estate minus cost of sales of real estate, divided by sales of real estate) declined from 21.3% in the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to 20.5% during of the three months ended June 30, 2006. The decline was primarily attributable to higher construction costs related to costs of labor and building materials.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 49.8% to $20.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to the same period in 2005 primarily as a result of higher employee compensation and benefits expense, recruiting costs, higher outside broker fees, increased advertising, and costs of expansion throughout Florida, Georgia and South Carolina. Employee compensation and benefit costs increased by approximately $1.9 million, from $6.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2005 to $8.8 million for the same period in 2006. The increase relates to the number of our full time employees increasing to 645 at June 30, 2006, from 507 at June 30, 2005 and mainly is related to the continued expansion of the Homebuilding activities and support functions. We also experienced an increase in advertising and outside broker costs in the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005 due to the increased advertising and outside broker for three new communities that were opened during the quarter and the increased advertising and outside broker costs needed to entice buyers during the slowdown that the homebuilding market is currently experiencing. As a percentage of total revenues, selling, general and administrative expense was approximately 17.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to 12.7% for the same 2005 period. As we continue our expansion into the North Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina markets, we expect to continue to incur administrative start-up costs as well as certain sales related costs in advance of revenue recognition, which will continue to affect our operating results.

Interest incurred and capitalized totaled $6.5 million and $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Interest incurred increased as a result of an increase in the average interest rate on our variable-rate borrowings as well as a $227.6 million increase in our borrowings from June 30, 2005. Most of our variable-rate borrowings are indexed to LIBOR or the Prime Rate. Our variable rate borrowings increased to 8.25% at June 30, 2006, from 6.25% at June 30, 2005. At the time of home closings and land sales, the capitalized interest allocated to such inventory is charged to cost of sales. Cost of sales of real estate for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 included previously capitalized interest of approximately $2.4 million and $1.7 million, respectively.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2006 Compared to the Same 2005 Period:

Revenues from home sales increased moderately to $234.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2006, from $225.1 million during the same period in 2005. The increase is a result of an increase in average sale prices on home deliveries, which increased to $283,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to

Homebuilding & Real Estate Development (Continued)

$237,000 during the same period in 2005. While prices increased significantly, the effect on revenue was offset by a decrease in the number of deliveries which declined to 831 homes delivered during the six months ended June 30, 2006 from 949 homes during the same period in 2005.

The value of new orders decreased to $286.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2006, from $299.2 million during the same period in 2005. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, new unit orders decreased to 838 units, from 1,034 units during the same period in 2005 as a result of softening in markets as traffic trended downward and conversion rates slowed. The decrease in new orders was offset by the average sales price of new home orders increasing 18% during the six months ended June 30, 2006 to $342,000, from $289,000 during the same period in 2005. Higher selling prices are primarily a reflection of a reduction of the percentage of sales in our Tennessee operations which historically have yielded lower average sales prices, as well as the price increases that occurred throughout 2005 that were maintained in the first six months of 2006.

Cost of sales increased $11.3 million to $189.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2006, from $177.9 million during the same period in 2005. The increase in cost of sales was primarily due to the increased revenue from home sales and higher construction costs as discussed earlier.

Margin percentage declined slightly during the six months ended June 30, 2006 to 19.5%, from 21.0% during the same period in 2005. The decline for the six month period was due to higher construction costs as discussed earlier.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 34.6% to $38.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to the same period in 2005 primarily as a result of higher employee compensation and benefits expense, recruiting costs, higher outside sales commissions, increased advertising, and costs of expansion throughout Florida, Georgia and South Carolina. Employee compensation costs increased by approximately $4.1 million, from $12.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2005 to $16.9 million for the same period in 2006. The increases are a result of the same factors discussed above. As a percentage of total revenues, selling, general and administrative expense was approximately 16.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to 12.5% for the same period in 2005, for the reasons noted above.

Other expenses increased to $7.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2006 from $1.3 million in the same period in 2005. The increase was primarily attributable to impairment charges in the six months ended June 30, 2006 of approximately $6.0 million which consisted of $1.3 million in goodwill and $4.7 million related to the write-down of inventory in our Homebuilding Division associated with our Tennessee operations. Projections of future cash flows related to the remaining assets were discounted and used to determine the estimated impairment charges. Management is currently evaluating various strategies for our assets in Tennessee. As a result, additional impairment charges may be necessary in the future based on changes in estimates or actual selling prices of these assets.

Interest incurred and capitalized on notes and mortgages payable totaled $11.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to $4.5 million during the same period in 2005. Interest incurred increased as a result of an increase in the average interest rate on our variable-rate borrowings as well as a $227.6 million increase in our borrowings from June 30, 2005. Most of our variable-rate borrowings are indexed to either LIBOR or the Prime Rate, which increased to 8.25% at June 30, 2006, from 6.25% at June 30, 2005. Cost of sales of real estate associated with previously capitalized interest totaled $4.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to $3.4 million for the same period in 2005.

Due to the nature and size of individual land transactions, our Land Division results are subject to significant quarter to quarter volatility. We calculate margin as sales of real estate minus cost of sales of real estate, and have historically realized between 40% and 60% margin on Land Division sales. Margins fluctuate based upon changing sales prices and costs attributable to the land sold. The sales price of land sold varies depending upon: the location; the parcel size; whether the parcel is sold as raw land, partially developed land or individually developed lots; the degree to which the land is entitled; and whether the ultimate use of land is residential or commercial. The cost of sales of real estate is dependent upon the original cost of the land acquired, the timing of the acquisition of the land, and the amount of development and interest and real estate tax costs capitalized to the particular land parcel. Allocations to costs of sales involve management judgment and an estimate of future costs of development, which can vary over time due to labor and material cost increases, master plan design changes and regulatory modifications. Accordingly, allocations are subject to change for elements often beyond management’s control. Future margins will continue to vary in response to these and other market factors.

The value of acres subject to sales contracts decreased from $59.8 million at June 30, 2005 to $15.4 million at June 30, 2006. The backlog consists of executed contracts and provides a partial indication of potential future sales activity and value per acre. Depending upon the underlying land, other contracts are executed and closed, and therefore do not appear in the backlog. Therefore, the backlog is not useful as a primary indicator of future sales activity.

For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2006 Compared to the Same 2005 Period:

Revenues increased $14.0 million to $14.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to the same period in 2005. Of the total 48.5 acres sold in 2006, raw land sales to commercial developers as well as homebuilders comprised 24.9 acres. There were no sales in the three months ended June 30, 2005.

Homebuilding & Real Estate Development (Continued)

Cost of sales increased $7.5 million to $7.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to $182,000 for the same period in 2005. The increase in cost of sales was due to the increase in sales activity. The 2005 cost of sales was associated with an adjustment to our cost to complete accruals. Cost of sales as a percentage of related revenue was approximately 54.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2006. Of the total sales, raw land sales comprised 24.9 acres at a margin of 49% while the remaining lot sales generated a margin of 32%.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $3.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to $1.9 million for the same period in 2005. The increase primarily was a result of higher incentive compensation associated with the increase in profitability during the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. Additionally, increases in compensation and other administrative expenses are attributable to increased headcount in support of our expansion into the South Carolina market, increased insurance costs in Florida, and increased depreciation associated with those assets being internally developed which will generate additional revenue in the future.

Interest incurred and capitalized for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 was approximately $1.5 million and $500,000, respectively. Interest incurred was higher due to higher outstanding balances of notes and mortgage notes payable, as well as to an increase in the average interest rate on our variable-rate debt.

The increase in interest and other income from $425,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 to $2.1 million for the same period in 2006 is primarily related to a $1.3 million gain on sale of fixed assets, an increase in lease and irrigation income, and higher interest income generated by our various interest bearing deposits.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2006 Compared to the Same 2005 Period:

Revenues decreased 68.0% to $21.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2006, from $66.7 during the same period in 2005. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, we sold 105 acres at an average margin of 40.4%. The decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to a large bulk sale of land adjacent to Tradition, consisting of a total of 1,294 acres for $64.7 million, which occurred in the six months ended June 30, 2005. Acres sold in 2006 have been more evenly distributed to different developers as well as between land and lot sales. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, land sales represent 51% of the total acres sold while lot sales represent the remaining 49%.

Cost of sales decreased $14.5 million to $12.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to $27.3 million for the same period in 2005. The decrease in cost of sales was due to the decrease in sales activity. Cost of sales as a percentage of related revenue was approximately 59.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to 40.9% for the same period in 2005.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 9.0% to $5.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2006, from $6.4 million during the same period in 2005. The decrease primarily is a result of lower incentive compensation in 2006 associated with the decrease in profitability from the six months ended June 30, 2005 to the same period in 2006. The decrease in incentive compensation was partially offset by increases in compensation and other administrative expenses associated with our expansion into the South Carolina market, increased insurance costs in Florida, and increased depreciation associated with those assets being internally developed. As a percentage of total revenues, our selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 27.2% during the six months ended June 30, 2006, from 10% during the same period in 2005. The large variance is attributable to the large land sale that occurred in the six months ended June 30, 2005 which created a large increase in revenue without a corresponding increase in selling, general and administrative expenses due to the fixed nature of many of the Land Division’s expenses.

The decrease in other expenses was attributable to a $677,000 penalty on debt prepayment incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2005 period arising from the prepayment of indebtedness under a line of credit using the proceeds of the bulk land sale described above.

Homebuilding & Real Estate Development (Continued)

Interest incurred and capitalized during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 was $2.8 million and $960,000, respectively. Interest incurred was higher due to higher outstanding balances of notes and mortgage notes payable, as well as to an increase in the average interest rate on our variable-rate debt. Cost of sales of real estate during the six months ended June 30, 2006 included previously capitalized interest of $98,000, compared to $536,000 during the same period in 2005.

The increase in interest and other income from $846,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 to $3.1 million for the same period in 2006 is primarily related to a $1.3 million gain on sale of fixed assets, an increase in lease and irrigation income, and higher interest income generated by our various interest bearing deposits.

Other Operations include all other Company operations, including Levitt Commercial, Parent Company general and administrative expenses, earnings from our investment in Bluegreen and (loss) earnings from investments in various real estate projects and trusts. We currently own approximately 9.5 million shares of the common stock of Bluegreen, which represented approximately 31% of Bluegreen’s outstanding shares as of June 30, 2006. Under equity method accounting, we recognize our pro-rata share of Bluegreen’s net income (net of purchase accounting adjustments) as pre-tax earnings. Bluegreen has not paid dividends to its shareholders; therefore, our earnings represent only our claim to the future distributions of Bluegreen’s earnings. Accordingly, we record a tax liability on our portion of Bluegreen’s net income. Our earnings in Bluegreen increase or decrease concurrently based on Bluegreen’s results. Furthermore, a significant reduction in Bluegreen’s financial position could result in an impairment charge against our future results of operations.

For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2006 Compared to the Same 2005 Period:

Cost of sales of real estate in Other Operations includes the expensing of interest previously capitalized to reconcile the interest expense on a consolidated basis with the interest expensed in the Company’s other segments regardless of whether sales were incurred in the period. Cost of sales increased to $656,000 during the three

Homebuilding & Real Estate Development (Continued)

months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to $624,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2005. The slight increase is attributable to larger debt levels than in the prior period.

Bluegreen reported net income for the three months ended June 30, 2006 of $6.6 million, as compared to net income of $14.9 million for the same period in 2005. Our interest in Bluegreen’s earnings, net of purchase accounting adjustments, was $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $4.7 million for the same period in 2005.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $6.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to $3.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2005. This increase is a result of higher employee compensation and benefits, recruiting expenses, and professional services expenses. Employee compensation costs increased by approximately $1.2 million, from $1.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2005 to $3.0 million for the same period in 2006. The increase relates to the increase in the number of full time employees to 63 at June 30, 2006 from 34 at June 30, 2005. Additionally, approximately $612,000 of the increase in compensation expense was associated with non-cash stock-based compensation for which no expense was recorded in the same period in 2005. Professional services also increased due to non-capitalizable consulting services being performed in the three months ended June 30, 2006 related to our systems implementation. These expenses consist of documentation of process flows, training and other validation procedures that are being performed in connection with the systems implementation. These costs did not exist in the three months ended June 30, 2005.

Interest incurred and capitalized in Other Operations was approximately $1.5 million and $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The increase in interest incurred was attributable to an increase in mortgage notes payable associated with Levitt Commercial’s development activities, an increase in the junior subordinated debentures and an increase in the average interest rate on our borrowings. Those amounts include adjustments to reconcile the amount of interest eligible for capitalization on a consolidated basis with the amounts capitalized in the Company’s other business segments.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2006 Compared to the Same 2005 Period:

Sales of real estate decreased $14.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, Levitt Commercial did not deliver any flex warehouse units as compared to 44 flex warehouse units delivered generating revenues of $14.7 million during the same period in 2005. Deliveries of individual flex warehouse units by Levitt Commercial generally occur in rapid succession upon the completion of a warehouse building. Accordingly, revenues from Levitt Commercial’s development in any one quarter are not representative of following quarters or the full year. Levitt Commercial has two flex warehouse projects currently in development that are expected to be completed during 2006, at which time we expect to generate additional revenue associated with those projects.

Cost of sales of real estate decreased $10.7 million from $12.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005 to $1.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2006. Cost of sales of real estate in Other Operations in the six months ended June 30, 2005 includes the cost of sales on flex warehouse units delivered.

Bluegreen reported net income for the six months ended June 30, 2006 of $6.1 million, as compared to net income of $21.3 million for the same period in 2005. Our interest in Bluegreen’s earnings, net of purchase accounting adjustments, was $2.1 million for six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $6.9 million for the same period in 2005.

Selling, general and administrative expense increased 68% to $13.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2006, from $7.9 million during the same period in 2005. The increase is a result of higher employee compensation and benefits, recruiting expenses, and professional services expenses. Employee compensation costs increased by approximately $3.2 million from $3.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2005 to $6.2 million for the same period in 2006. The increase relates to the increase in the number of full time employees to 63 at June 30, 2006 from 34 at June 30, 2005. Additionally, approximately $1.3 million of the increase in compensation expense was associated with non-cash stock-based compensation for which no expense was recorded

Homebuilding & Real Estate Development (Continued)

in the same period in 2005. Professional services also increased due to non-capitalizable consulting services being performed in the six months ended June 30, 2006 related to our systems implementation. These expenses consist of documentation of process flows, training and other validation procedures that are being performed in connection with the system implementation. These costs did not exist in the six months ended June 30, 2005.

Interest incurred and capitalized on notes and mortgage notes payable totaled $3.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to $2.1 million during the same period in 2005. The increase in interest incurred was attributable to an increase in mortgage notes payable associated with Levitt Commercial’s development activities, an increase in the junior subordinated debentures and an increase in the average interest rate on our borrowings. Cost of sales of real estate includes previously capitalized interest of $1.3 million and $1.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

June 30, 2006 compared to December 31, 2005

Our total assets at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 were $1.0 billion and $896 million, respectively.

The material changes in the composition of assets primarily resulted from:

	•		a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $40.3 million, which resulted from cash used in operations and investing activities of $155 million, partially offset by an increase in cash provided by financing activities of $114 million;

	•		a net increase in inventory of real estate of approximately $143.4 million which includes approximately $64.2 million in land acquisitions by our Homebuilding Division; and

	•		an increase of $18.6 million in property and equipment associated with increased investment in commercial properties under construction at Core Communities, and hardware and software acquired for our systems upgrade.

Total liabilities at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 were $670 million and $546 million, respectively.

The material changes in the composition of total liabilities primarily resulted from:

	•		a net increase in notes and mortgage notes payable of $100.4 million, primarily related to project debt associated with 2006 land acquisitions and land development activities;

	•		an increase of $5.1 million in customer deposits associated with our larger homebuilding backlog;

	•		an increase of $15.4 million in junior subordinated debentures ;

	•		an increase of $17.9 million in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, relating to accruals for increased selling general and administrative costs, certain construction related accruals, and the timing of invoices processed; and

	•		a decrease in the current tax liability of approximately $12.6 million relating primarily to the decrease in our taxable income to a loss position and the timing of estimated tax payments.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Management assesses the Company’s liquidity in terms of its ability to generate cash to fund its operating and investment activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, our primary sources of funds were the proceeds from the sale of real estate inventory and borrowings from financial institutions. These funds were utilized primarily to acquire, develop and construct real estate, to service and repay borrowings and to pay operating expenses.

The Company’s cash declined $40.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2006 as a result of its continued investment in inventory. The Company also utilized borrowings to finance the purchase of that inventory. Net cash used in operations totaled $143.5 million with $157.3 million expended on inventory, including raw land and construction materials. Net cash used in investing totaled $11.1 million, with $12.4 million were additions to property and equipment. These expenditures were offset by an increase in cash generated from various project related and corporate debt. Total cash provided by financing was $114.3 million, with borrowings totaling $227.7 million and repayments representing $112.0 million.

We rely on third party financing to fund the acquisition and development of land. During the three months ended June 30, 2006, Core Communities secured a loan with a third party lender for up to $60.9 million to for the development of a commercial project. Additionally, during the three months ended June 30, 2006, Levitt and Sons entered into various amendments of its existing credit facilities to increase the amount available for borrowing by an aggregate of $100.0 million. These debt instruments are secured by real property and accrue interest at floating rates.

Homebuilding & Real Estate Development (Continued)

On June 1, 2005, we formed a statutory business trust (“LCT III”) which issued $15.0 million of trust preferred securities and used the proceeds to purchase an identical amount of junior subordinated debentures from us. Interest on these junior subordinated debentures and distributions on these trust preferred securities are payable quarterly in arrears at a fixed rate of 9.251% through June 30, 2011, and thereafter at a variable rate of interest, per annum, reset quarterly, equal to the 3-month LIBOR plus 3.80% until the scheduled maturity date of June 2036. In addition, we contributed $464,000 to LCT III in exchange for all of its common securities, and those proceeds were also used to purchase an identical amount of junior subordinated debentures from us. The terms of LCT III’s common securities are nearly identical to the trust preferred securities.

On July 18, 2006, we formed a statutory business trust (“LCT IV”) for the purpose of issuing trust preferred securities and investing the proceeds thereof in junior subordinated debentures. LCT IV issued $15.0 million of trust preferred securities and used the proceeds to purchase an identical amount of junior subordinated debentures from us. Interest on these junior subordinated debentures and distributions on these trust preferred securities are payable quarterly in arrears at a fixed rate of 9.349% through September 30, 2011, and thereafter at a variable rate of interest, per annum, reset quarterly, equal to the 3-month LIBOR plus 3.80% until the scheduled maturity date of September 2036. In addition, we contributed $464,000 to LCT IV in exchange for all of its common securities, and those proceeds were also used to purchase an identical amount of junior subordinated debentures from us. The terms of LCT IV’s common securities are nearly identical to the trust preferred securities.

In addition to the liquidity provided by our existing credit facilities, we expect to continue to fund our short-term liquidity requirements through future cash provided by operations, other financing activities and our cash on hand. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements for items such as acquisitions, debt service and repayment obligations primarily with net cash provided by operations and long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness. As of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, we had cash and cash equivalents of $73.3 million and $113.6 million, respectively.

At June 30, 2006, our consolidated debt totaled $523.6 million. Our principal payment obligations with respect to our debt for the 12 months beginning June 30, 2006 are anticipated to total $39.6 million. However, certain of our borrowings require us to repay specified amounts upon a sale of portions of the property securing the debt. These amounts would be in addition to the scheduled payments over the next twelve months. We expect to generate most of the funds to repay these amounts from sales of real estate, other financing activities and our cash on hand. Some of our borrowing agreements contain provisions that, among other things, require us to maintain certain financial ratios and a minimum net worth. These requirements may limit the amount of debt that we can incur in the future and restrict the payment of dividends to us by our subsidiaries. At June 30, 2006, we were in compliance with all loan agreement financial requirements and covenants.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

In connection with the development of certain of our communities, we establish community development districts to access bond financing for the funding of infrastructure development and other projects within the community. If we were not able to establish community development districts, we would need to fund community infrastructure development out of operating income or through other sources of financing or capital. The bonds issued are obligations of the community development district and are repaid through assessments on property within the district. To the extent that we own property within a district when assessments are levied, we will be obligated to pay the assessments when they are due. As of June 30, 2006, development districts in Tradition, Florida had $62 million of community development district bonds outstanding and we owned approximately 43% of the property in those districts. During the three months ended June 30, 2006, we recorded approximately $244,231 in assessments on property we owned in the districts. These costs were capitalized to inventory as development costs and will be recognized as cost of sales when the assessed properties are sold to third parties.

The following table summarizes our contractual obligations as of June 30, 2006 (in thousands):

Long-term debt obligations consist of notes, mortgage notes and bonds payable. Operating lease obligations consist of lease commitments. Purchase obligations consist of contracts to acquire real estate properties for development and sale for which due diligence has been completed and our deposit is committed; however our liability for not completing the purchase of any such property is generally limited to the deposit we made under the relevant contract. At June 30, 2006, we had $2.0 million in deposits securing such purchase commitments

At June 30, 2006, we had outstanding surety bonds and letters of credit of approximately $126.1 million related primarily to obligations to various governmental entities to construct improvements in our various communities. We estimate that approximately $98.5 million of work remains to complete these improvements. We do not believe that any outstanding bonds or letters of credit will likely be drawn upon.”

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is defined as the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market valuations that arise from interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk, commodity price risk and equity price risk. While the primary market risk of BankAtlantic Bancorp is interest rate risk, BFC’s primary market risk is equity price risk.

Because BankAtlantic Bancorp and Levitt are consolidated in the Company’s financial statements, an increase or decrease in the market price of their stock would not impact the financial statements. However, a significant change in the market price of either of these securities would likely have an effect on the market price of our common stock. The market price of BFC’s common stock and of BFC’s directly held equity securities are important to the valuation and financing capability of BFC.

BFC Interest Rate Risk

At June 30, 2006, BFC had no amounts outstanding under its $14.0 million line of credit. The interest rate on the line of credit is an adjustable rate tied to LIBOR. Should BFC make advances under the line of credit, it would be subjected to interest rate risk to the extent that there were changes in the LIBOR index.

(1)		Hybrid adjustable rate mortgages (ARM) earn fixed rates for designated periods and adjust annually thereafter based on the one year U.S. Treasury note rate.

The majority of BankAtlantic’s assets and liabilities are monetary in nature, subjecting it to significant interest rate risk because its assets and liabilities reprice at different times, market interest rates change differently among each rate indices and certain interest earning assets, primarily residential loans, may be prepaid before maturity as interest rates change.

BankAtlantic has developed a model using standard industry software to measure its interest rate risk. The model performs a sensitivity analysis that measures the effect on net interest income of changes in interest rates. The model measures the impact that parallel interest rate shifts of 100 and 200 basis points would have on net interest income over a 12 month period.

The model calculates the change in net interest income by:

	i.		Calculating interest income and interest expense from existing assets and liabilities using current repricing, prepayment and volume assumptions,

	ii.		Estimating the change in expected net interest income based on instantaneous and parallel shifts in the yield curve to determine the effect on net interest income; and

	iii.		Calculating the percentage change in net interest income calculated in (i) and (ii).

BankAtlantic Bancorp’s management has made estimates of cash flow, prepayment, repricing and volume assumptions that it believes to be reasonable. Actual results will differ from the simulated results due to changes in interest rates that differ from the assumptions in the simulation model.

Certain assumptions by BankAtlantic Bancorp in assessing the interest rate risk were utilized in preparing the following table. These assumptions related to:

	•		Interest rates,

	•		Loan prepayment rates,

	•		Deposit decay rates,

	•		Re-pricing of certain borrowings, and

	•		Reinvestment in earning assets.

Presented below is the estimated change in BankAtlantic’s estimated net interest income over a twelve month period based on assumed changes in interest rates calculated utilizing BankAtlantic Bancorp’s model:


As of June 30, 2006
	Net
Changes	Interest		Percent
in Rate	Income		Change
+200 bp	$	250,501		-2.92	%
+100 bp	$	257,152		-0.34	%
0	$	258,041		0.00	%
-100 bp	$	257,936		-0.04	%
-200 bp	$	253,124		-1.91	%

BankAtlantic Bancorp’s tax equivalent net interest margin improved to 4.14% in the first six months of 2006 vs. 3.89% in the comparable 2005 period. The improvement is primarily attributable to an increase in low cost deposits funding the repayment of short term borrowings. This margin improvement is particularly significant in light of the flatness of the current yield curve. While further margin improvement will depend largely on the future pattern of interest rates, BankAtlantic believes that high level of low cost deposits and the expected continued growth in those deposits, coupled with the general positioning of BankAtlantic’s balance sheet for rising interest rates should enable BankAtlantic’s margin to show gradual improvement in subsequent periods.

Consolidated Equity Price Risk

BFC and BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company maintain a portfolio of equity securities that subjects us to equity pricing risks which would arise as the values of equity investments change in conjunction with market or economic conditions. The change in fair values of equity investments represents instantaneous changes in all equity prices. The following are hypothetical changes in the fair value of available for sale equity securities at June 30, 2006 based on percentage changes in fair value. Actual future price appreciation or depreciation may be different from the changes identified in the table below (dollars in thousands):


	Available
Percent	for Sale
Change in	Securities		Dollar
Fair Value	Fair Value		Change
20%	$	113,834	$	18,972
10%	$	104,348	$	9,486
0%	$	94,862	$	—
-10%	$	85,376	$	(9,486	)
-20%	$	75,890	$	(18,972	)

Excluded from the above table is $1.8 million of investments in private companies held by BankAtlantic Bancorp and a $5.0 million invested by BankAtlantic Bancorp in a limited partnership for which no current market exists. The limited partnership invests in companies in the financial services industry. Also excluded from the above table is $532,000 of investments held by BFC in private companies held by BFC and BFC’s $20.0 million investment in Benihana Series B Convertible Preferred Stock for which no current market is available. The ability to realize or liquidate these investments will depend on future market conditions and is subject to significant risk.

Ryan Beck Market Risk

Ryan Beck a broker/dealer subsidiary of BankAtlantic Bancorp, is exposed to market risk arising from trading and market making activities. Ryan Beck’s market risk is the potential change in value of financial instruments caused by fluctuations in interest rates, equity prices, credit spreads and other market forces. Ryan Beck’s management monitors risk in its trading activities by establishing limits and reviewing daily trading results, inventory aging, pricing, concentration and securities ratings. Ryan Beck uses a variety of tools, including aggregate and statistical methods. Value at Risk (“VaR”) is the principal statistical method used and measures the potential loss in the fair value of a portfolio due to adverse movements in underlying risk factors. Substantially all the trading inventory is subject to measurement using VaR.

Ryan Beck uses an historical simulation approach to measuring VaR using a 99% confidence level, a one day holding period and the most recent three months average volatility. The 99% VaR means that, on average, one would not expect to exceed such loss amount more than one time every one hundred trading days if the portfolio were held constant for a one-day period.

Modeling and statistical methods rely on approximations and assumptions that could be significant under certain circumstances. As such, the risk management process also employs other methods such as sensitivity to interest rates and stress testing.

The following table sets forth the high, low and average VaR for Ryan Beck for the six months ended June 30, 2006 (in thousands):


	High		Low		Average
VaR	$	415,528	$	94,069	$	214,023
Aggregate Long Value		202,976		90,909		148,846
Aggregate Short Value	$	148,920	$	35,063	$	82,821

Levitt

Levitt is also subject to interest rate risk on its long-term debt. At June 30, 2006, Levitt had $433.6 million in borrowings with adjustable rates tied to the Prime Rate and/or LIBOR rates and $90.1 million in borrowings with fixed or initially-fixed rates. Consequently, for debt tied to an indexed rate, changes in interest rates may affect earnings and cash flows, but generally would not impact the fair value of such debt. With respect to fixed rate debt, changes in interest rates generally affect the fair market value of the debt but not earnings or cash flow.

Assuming the variable rate debt balance of $433.6 million outstanding at June 30, 2006 (which does not include initially fixed-rate obligations which will not become floating rate during 2006) were to remain constant, each one percentage point increase in interest rates would increase the interest incurred by Levitt by approximately $4.3 million per year.

Item 4. Controls and Procedure

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of June 30, 2006, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and our Chief Financial Officer (CFO), as to the effectiveness, design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (pursuant to Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)). As discussed below, we have made changes in our internal controls which we believe remediate the material weakness identified below. We are relying on those changes in internal controls as an integral part of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon the results of the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, management, including our CEO and CFO, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2006.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

As discussed in our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we did not maintain effective controls as of December 31, 2005 over the segregation of duties performed by senior financial personnel with regard to (1) the cash disbursement function, (2) the journal entry process, and (3) access to our financial reporting systems. Furthermore, it was determined that management did not have adequate documentation of the oversight and review of these individuals to compensate for the inadequate segregation of duties. The remedial actions implemented in the first quarter of 2006 relating to this material weakness are described below.

During the first quarter of 2006, we implemented automated and manual controls for our financial systems to restrict responsibilities and financial reporting system access rights for senior financial personnel. We finished designing, implementing, and testing the operating effectiveness of the changes in these controls in the first quarter of 2006 and determined that all access rights within our financial system were appropriately assigned as of June 30, 2006. We believe that the changes in our internal controls described above have remediated the material weakness.

In addition, we reviewed our internal control over financial reporting, and there have been no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
