current major holdings include controlling interests in BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries (BankAtlantic Bancorp) (NYSE: BBX) and Woodbridge Holdings Corporation
(formerly Levitt Corporation) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (Woodbridge) (NYSE: WDG) and a
noncontrolling interest in Benihana, Inc. (NASDAQ: BNHN), which operates Asian-themed restaurant
chains in the United States. As a result of the Companys position as the controlling shareholder
of BankAtlantic Bancorp, BFC is a unitary savings bank holding company regulated by the Office of
Thrift Supervision.
As a holding company with controlling positions in BankAtlantic Bancorp and Woodbridge, BFC is

noted, the debts and obligations of BankAtlantic Bancorp and Woodbridge are not direct obligations
of BFC and are non-recourse to BFC. Similarly, the assets of those entities are not available to
BFC absent its pro rata share in a dividend or distribution.

BankAtlantic Bancorp is a unitary savings bank holding company organized under the laws of the
State of Florida. BankAtlantic Bancorps principal asset is its investment in BankAtlantic and its
subsidiaries. On February 28, 2007, BankAtlantic Bancorp completed the sale to Stifel Financial
Corp. (Stifel) of Ryan Beck Holdings, Inc. (Ryan Beck), a subsidiary engaged in retail and
institutional brokerage and investment banking. As a consequence, the results of operations of Ryan
Beck are presented as Discontinued Operations in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for
three and six months ended June 30, 2007. Also, the financial information of Ryan Beck is included
in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
Woodbridge engages in various business activities through its subsidiaries, Core Communities,
LLC (Core Communities or Core), which develops master-planned communities, and Carolina Oak
Homes, LLC (Carolina Oak), which engages in homebuilding activities and is developing a community
in South Carolina, equity investment, currently primarily in Office Depot, Inc. (Office Depot),
and other investments in real estate projects through subsidiaries and joint ventures. Woodbridge
also owns an approximately 31% ownership interest in Bluegreen Corporation (Bluegreen) (NYSE:
BXG). During 2007, Woodbridge also conducted homebuilding operations through Levitt and Sons, LLC
(Levitt and Sons) which was deconsolidated on November 9, 2007. As previously reported, on
November 9, 2007, Levitt and Sons and substantially all of its subsidiaries (the Debtors)
12
Table of Contents
filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the
Chapter 11 Cases) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida (the
Bankruptcy Court). In connection with the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, Woodbridge
deconsolidated Levitt and Sons as of November 9, 2007, eliminating all future operations of Levitt
and Sons from Woodbridges financial results of operations. As a result of the deconsolidation, in
accordance with Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 51, Woodbridge follows the cost method of
accounting to record its interest in Levitt and Sons.
Since Levitt and Sons results are no longer consolidated and Woodbridge believes that it is
not probable that it will be obligated to fund future operating losses at Levitt and Sons, any
adjustments reflected in Levitt and Sons financial statements subsequent to November 9, 2007 are
not expected to affect the results of operations of Woodbridge. Woodbridge will continue to
evaluate the cost method investment in Levitt and Sons on a quarterly basis to review the
reasonableness of the liability balance. Under cost method accounting, income will only be
recognized to the extent of cash received in the future or when Levitt and Sons is legally released
from its bankruptcy obligations through the approval of the Bankruptcy Court, at which time, the
recorded loss in excess of the investment in Levitt and Sons can be recognized into income. (See
Note 23 for further information regarding Levitt and Sons and the Chapter 11 Cases.)
The financial results for two of Core Communities commercial leasing projects are presented
as Discontinued Operations in the consolidated statements of operations for the periods presented,
as more fully described in Note 4.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with GAAP for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In managements
opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain such adjustments as are
necessary for a fair presentation of the Companys consolidated financial condition at June 30,
2008 and December 31, 2007; the consolidated results of operations, comprehensive loss for the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the changes in consolidated shareholders
equity for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and consolidated cash flows for the six month periods
ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30,
2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 2008. The consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented as
permitted by Form 10-Q and should be read in conjunction with the notes to the consolidated
financial statements appearing in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2007. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
2. Fair Value Measurement
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company partially adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard (SFAS) No. 157 Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157), which provides a framework
for measuring fair value. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff
Position (FSP) FAS 157-2, which delayed the effective date for SFAS No. 157 for nonfinancial
assets and nonfinancial liabilities until January 1, 2009. As such, the Company did not adopt SFAS
No. 157 fair value framework for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for items
that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements at least annually. The
Company also did not adopt the SFAS No. 157 fair value framework for leasing transactions as these
transactions were excluded from the scope of SFAS No. 157.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 The Fair
Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
(SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159 allows the Company an irrevocable option for measurement of financial assets or
liabilities at fair value on a contract-by-contract basis. The Company did not elect the fair
value option for any of its financial assets or liabilities as of the date of adoption (January 1,
2008) or for the six months ended June 30, 2008.
SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received on the sale of an asset or
paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the exit price) in an orderly (hypothetical) transaction
between market participants at the date of measurement. SFAS No. 157 also defines valuation
techniques and a fair value hierarchy to prioritize the inputs used in the valuation techniques.
The input fair value hierarchy has three broad levels and gives the highest priority to quoted
prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest
priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).
13
Table of Contents
The input fair value hierarchy is summarized below:
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at each reporting date. An active market for
the asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with
sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. A quoted price
in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and is used to measure fair
value whenever available.
Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included as Level 1 inputs that are
observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. If the asset or liability has
a specified (contractual) term, a Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term
of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities
in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that
are not active, that is, markets in which there are few transactions for the asset or liability,
the prices are not current, or price quotations vary substantially either over time or among market
makers (for example, some brokered markets), or in which little information is released publicly
(for example, a principal-to-principal market); and inputs other than quoted prices that are
observable for the asset or liability (for example, interest rates and yield curves observable at
commonly quoted intervals, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, and
default rates).
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs are used to
measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for
measurement at fair value in situations in where there is little, if any, market activity for the
asset or liability at the measurement date.
The following table presents major categories of assets measured at fair value on a recurring
basis at June 30, 2008 (in thousands):

The valuation techniques and the inputs to the valuation techniques are described below for
the recurring financial instruments measured at fair value in the Companys financial statements.
Mortgage-Backed Securities and REMICs
BankAtlantic uses matrix pricing to fair value its mortgage-backed and real estate mortgage
conduit securities as quoted market prices are not available for the specific securities that
BankAtlantic owns. Matrix pricing values these securities based on standard inputs such as:
benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads and other reference data
in the principal market. BankAtlantics principal market is the secondary institutional market and
the exit price is the bid price. BankAtlantic uses a market approach valuation technique and
Level 2 valuation inputs to fair value these securities.
Bonds and Other Equity Securities
A market approach and quoted market prices (Level 1) or matrix pricing (Level 2 or Level 3)
were generally used to value bonds and other equity securities, if available. However, for certain
BankAtlantic Bancorp investments in equity and debt securities in which observable market inputs
cannot be obtained, the securities were valued using the income approach and pricing models that
BankAtlantic Bancorp developed or based on observable market data that BankAtlantic Bancorp has
adjusted based on its judgment of the factors a market participant would use to value the
securities (Level 3).
Stifel Warrants
A Black-Scholes option pricing model was used to value the Stifel warrants using an income
approach valuation technique and Level 2 valuation inputs, except with respect to volatility
assumptions. Stifel common stock is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange allowing the
incorporation of market observable inputs into the option pricing model. BankAtlantic Bancorp used
the historical volatility as implied volatility percentages were unavailable for the entire term
of the warrants.

There were no liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis in the Companys
financial statements.
Loans Measured for Impairment
Third party appraisals are primarily used to assist BankAtlantic in measuring impairment of
its collateral dependent impaired loans. These appraisals generally use the market or income
approach valuation technique and use market observable data to formulate an opinion of the fair
value of the loans collateral. However, the appraiser uses professional judgment in determining
the fair value of the collateral or properties and these values may also be adjusted for changes in
market conditions subsequent to the appraisal date. When current appraisals are not available for
certain loans, judgment is used on market conditions to adjust the most current appraisal. The
sales prices may reflect prices of sales contracts not closed and the amount of time required to
sell out the real estate project may be derived from current appraisals of similar projects. As a
consequence, the fair value of the collateral is considered a Level 3 valuation.
Private Equity Investment
Private investment securities represent investments in limited partnerships that invest in
equity securities based on proprietary investment strategies. The underlying equity investments in
these limited partnerships are publicly traded equity securities and the fair values of these
securities are obtained from the general partner. As the fair values of the underlying securities
in the limited partnership were obtained from the general partner the fair value assigned to these
investments is considered Level 3.
3. 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 or regulatory environment.
The information provided for segment reporting is based on internal reports utilized by
management of the Company and its respective subsidiaries. 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 operating results would, in
managements view, likely not be impacted.
The Company currently operates through four reportable segments, which are: BFC Activities,
Financial Services, Land Division and Woodbridge Other Operations. In 2007, the Company operated
through two additional reportable business segments, Primary Homebuilding and Tennessee
Homebuilding, both of which were eliminated as a result of Levitt and Sons deconsolidation.
16
Table of Contents
Except as otherwise indicated in this Report, the accounting policies of the segments are the
same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies presented in the
Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. Inter-company
transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
The Company evaluates segment performance based on (loss) income from continuing operations
net of tax and noncontrolling interest.
The following summarizes the aggregation of the Companys 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 Woodbridge Holdings Corporation and its subsidiaries.
This includes dividends from BFCs investment in Benihanas convertible preferred stock and other
securities and investments, and income and expenses associated with the arrangement between BFC,
BankAtlantic Bancorp, Woodbridge and Bluegreen for shared services in the areas of human resources,
risk management, investor relations and executive office administration.
The BFC Activities segment also includes BFCs overhead and interest expense, the financial
results of venture partnerships that BFC controls and BFCs provision (benefit) for income taxes,
including the tax provision (benefit) related to the Companys interest in the earnings or losses
of BankAtlantic Bancorp and Woodbridge. BankAtlantic Bancorp and Woodbridge are consolidated in the
Companys financial statements, as described earlier. The Companys earnings or losses in
BankAtlantic Bancorp are included in the Financial Services segment, and the Companys earnings or
losses in Woodbridge are reflected in the Land Division and Woodbridge Other Operations segments in
2008. In 2007, the Companys earnings or losses in Woodbridge were also reflected in two additional
reportable business segments, Primary Homebuilding and Tennessee Homebuilding, both of which were
eliminated as a result of Levitt and Sons deconsolidation on November 9, 2007.
Financial Services
The Companys Financial Services segment consists of BankAtlantic Bancorp and its
subsidiaries operations, including the operations of BankAtlantic.
Primary Homebuilding
The Companys Primary Homebuilding segment consisted of the operations of Levitt and Sons
homebuilding operations in Florida, Georgia and South Carolina while they were included in the
consolidated financial statements.
Tennessee Homebuilding
The Companys Tennessee Homebuilding segment consisted of Levitt and Sons homebuilding
operations in Tennessee while they were included in the consolidated financial statements.
Land Division
The Companys Land Division segment consists of Core Communities operations.
Woodbridge Other Operations
Woodbridge Other Operations segment consists of the activities of Woodbridge Holdings
Corporations operations, the operations of Carolina Oak, earnings from investments in Bluegreen,
equity investments, currently primarily in Office Depot, and other investments through Woodbridges subsidiaries and joint ventures. In
2007, Woodbridge Other Operations segment also consisted of Levitt Commercial, LLC, which
specialized in the development of industrial properties. Levitt Commercial ceased development
activities in 2007. The results of operations and financial condition of Carolina Oak as of and for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 are included in the Primary Homebuilding segment,
whereas the results of operations and financial condition of Carolina Oak as of and for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2008 are included in Woodbridge Other Operations.

4. Discontinued Operations
Sale of Ryan Beck
On February 28, 2007, BankAtlantic Bancorp sold Ryan Beck to Stifel. The Stifel sales
agreement provided for contingent earn-out payments, payable in cash or shares of Stifel common
stock, at Stifels election, based on (a) defined Ryan Beck private client revenues during the
two-year period immediately following the Ryan Beck sale up to a maximum of $40.0 million and
(b) defined Ryan Beck investment banking revenues equal to 25% of the amount that such revenues
exceed $25.0 million during each of the two twelve-month periods immediately following the Ryan
Beck sale. Ryan Becks investment banking revenues exceeded $25 million during the first twelve
months subsequent to the sale, and BankAtlantic Bancorp received additional consideration of 55,016
shares of Stifel common stock valued at approximately $1.7 million. The contingent earn-out
payments, if any, will be accounted for when earned as additional proceeds from the sale of Ryan
Beck and will be included in the Companys Consolidated Statements of Operations as discontinued
operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, in connection with BankAtlantic Bancorps
receipt of such additional consideration, the Company recorded income from discontinued operations
of approximately $162,000, net of noncontrolling interest of $857,000 and income tax of $705,000.
Planned Sale of Two Core Communities Commercial Leasing Projects
In June 2007, Core Communities began soliciting bids from several potential buyers to purchase
assets associated with two of Cores commercial leasing projects. Management determined it was
probable that Core would sell these projects and, while Core may retain an equity interest in the
properties and provide ongoing management services, the anticipated level of Cores continuing
involvement is not expected to be significant. In accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets
(SFAS No. 144), provides that assets recorded as available for sale should be sold within a one
year period. However, as a result, of among other things, market conditions over the past twelve
months, the assets were not sold by the end of June 2008. Core continues to actively market the
assets and the assets are available for immediate sale in their present condition. While Cores
management believes these assets will be sold by June 2009, there is no assurance that these sales
will be completed in the timeframe expected by management or at all.
The assets were previously reclassified to assets held for sale and the liabilities related
with these assets were also reclassified to liabilities related to assets held for sale in the
consolidated statements of financial condition. Additionally, the results of operations for the
project were reclassified to income from discontinued operations. Prior period amounts have been
reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Depreciation related to these assets
held for sale ceased in June 2007. The Company has elected not to separate these assets in the
consolidated statements of cash flows for the periods presented. Management of Woodbridge has
reviewed the net asset value and estimated the fair market value of the assets based on the bids
received related to these assets and determined that these assets were appropriately recorded at
the lower of cost or fair value less the costs to sell at June 30, 2008.
The following table summarizes the assets held for sale and liabilities related to the assets
held for sale for the two commercial leasing projects as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 (in

On November 9, 2007, Woodbridge put in place an employee fund and offered up to $5 million of
severance benefits to terminated Levitt and Sons employees to supplement the limited termination
benefits paid by Levitt and Sons to those employees. Levitt and Sons was restricted in the payment
of termination benefits to its former employees by virtue of the Chapter 11 Cases.

Table of Contents
The severance related and benefits amount included severance payments made to Levitt and Sons
employees, payroll taxes and other benefits related to the terminations that occurred in 2007 in
connection with the Chapter 11 Cases. Woodbridge incurred severance and benefits related
restructuring charges of approximately $816,000 and $2.0 million during the three and six months
ended June 30, 2008, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, Woodbridge
paid approximately $1.2 million and $2.7 million, respectively, in severance and termination
charges related to the above described employee fund as well as severance for employees other than
Levitt and Sons employees, all of which are reflected in the Woodbridge Other Operations segment.
Employees entitled to participate in the fund either receive a payment stream, which in certain
cases extends over two years, or a lump sum payment, dependent on a variety of factors. Former
Levitt and Sons employees who received these payments were required to assign to Woodbridge their
unsecured claims against Levitt and Sons. At June 30, 2008, $1.3 million was accrued to be paid
from this fund and the severance accrual for other employees in Woodbridge. In addition to
these amounts, Woodbridge expects additional severance related obligations of approximately
$202,000 to be incurred during the remainder of 2008.
The facilities accrual as of June 30, 2008 represents expense associated with property and
equipment leases that are no longer providing a benefit to Woodbridge, as well as termination fees
related to the cancellation of certain contractual lease obligations. Included in this amount are
future minimum lease payments, fees and expenses, for which the provisions of SFAS No. 146,
"Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, were satisfied. Total cash
payments related to the facilities accrual were $173,000 and $259,000 for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2008, respectively.
The independent contractor agreements amount relates to consulting agreements entered into by
Woodbridge with former Levitt and Sons employees. The total commitment related to these agreements
as of June 30, 2008 was $1.1 million and is payable monthly through 2009. During the three and six
months ended June 30, 2008 under these agreements, Woodbridge paid $206,000 and $412,000,
respectively, under these agreements.
As of June 30, 2008, Woodbridge had a $1.1 million surety bond accrual related to certain
bonds for which Woodbridges management considers it to be probable that Woodbridge will be
required to reimburse the surety under applicable indemnity agreements. See also Note 15 for

During the quarter ended March 31, 2008, Woodbridge performed an impairment review of its
investment in Bluegreen in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) No. 03-1, Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 18 and Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin
No. 59 to analyze various quantitative and qualitative factors and determine if an impairment
adjustment was needed. Based on the evaluation and the review of various qualitative and
quantitative factors relating to the performance of Bluegreen, Bluegreens then-current stock
price, and managements intention with regard to this investment, Woodbridge determined that the
impairment associated with the investment in Bluegreen was not an other than temporary decline and
accordingly, no adjustment to the carrying value was recorded.
On July 21, 2008, Bluegreen announced that it had entered into a non-binding letter of intent
for the sale of 100% of its outstanding common stock for $15 per share. The letter of intent
provides for a due diligence and exclusivity period through September 15, 2008. There can be no
assurance that the transaction will be consummated on the proposed terms, if at all, however, the
proposed terms indicate that the value of the shares of Bluegreens common stock owned by
Woodbridge exceeds the current book value of such shares. Accordingly, Woodbridge has determined
that there is currently no impairment associated with its investment in Bluegreen.

11. Other Debt and Development Bonds Payable
In March 2008, Core agreed to the termination of a $20 million line of credit. No amounts were
outstanding under this line of credit at the date of termination. The lender agreed to continue to
honor two construction loans to a subsidiary of Core totaling $9.0 million as of June 30, 2008.
There were no changes to the maturity dates of the two construction loans. In July 2008, Core
refinanced these construction loans for $9.1 million. The terms of the new loan agreement call for
a maturity date of July 2010 with a one year extension.
Cores loan agreements generally require repayment of specified amounts upon a sale of a
portion of the property collateralizing the debt. Core is subject to provisions in one of its loan
agreements collateralized by land in Tradition Hilton Head that require additional principal
payments, known as curtailment payments, in the event that actual sales are below the contractual
requirements. A curtailment payment of $14.9 million relating to Tradition Hilton Head was paid in
January 2008. On June 27, 2008, Core modified this loan agreement. The loan modification agreement
terminated the revolving feature of the loan and reduced a $19.3 million curtailment payment due in
June 2008 to $17.0 million, $5.0 million of which was paid in June 2008 with the remaining $12.0
million due in November 2008. Additionally, the loan modification agreement reduced the extension
term from an extension period of one year to an extension period of up to two 3-month periods upon
compliance with the conditions set forth in the loan modification agreement, including a minimum $5
million principal reduction with each extension. The February 28, 2009 maturity date of the loan
was not modified in the loan modification agreement.
In connection with the development of certain projects, community development, special
assessment or improvement districts have been established and may utilize tax-exempt bond financing
to fund construction or acquisition of certain on-site and off-site infrastructure improvements
near or at these communities. The obligation to pay principal and interest on the bonds issued by
the districts is assigned to each parcel within the district, and a priority assessment lien may be
placed on benefited parcels to provide security for the debt service. The bonds, including interest
and redemption premiums, if any, and the associated priority lien on the property are typically
payable, secured and satisfied by revenues, fees, or assessments levied on the property benefited.
Core is required to pay the revenues, fees, and assessments levied by the districts on the
properties it still owns that are benefited by the improvements. Core may also be required to pay
down a specified portion of the bonds at the time each unit or parcel is sold. The costs of these
obligations are capitalized to inventory during the development period and recognized as cost of
sales when the properties are sold.
Cores bond financing at June 30, 2008 consisted of district bonds totaling $218.7 million
with outstanding amounts of approximately $102.4 million. Further, at June 30, 2008, there was
approximately $110.4 million available under these bonds to fund future development expenditures.
Bond obligations at June 30, 2008 mature in 2035 and 2040. As of June 30, 2008, Core owned
approximately 16% of the property subject to assessments within the community development district
and approximately 91% of the property subject to assessments within the special assessment
district. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, Core recorded approximately
$163,000 and $268,000, respectively, in assessments on property owned by it in the districts.
Core is responsible

Table of Contents
for any assessed amounts until the underlying property is sold and will continue to be
responsible for the annual assessments if the property is never sold. In addition, Core has
guaranteed payments for assessments under the district bonds in Tradition, Florida which would
require funding if future assessments to be allocated to property owners are insufficient to repay
the bonds. Management has evaluated this exposure based upon the criteria in SFAS No. 5,
"Accounting for Contingencies, and has determined that there have been no substantive changes to
the projected density or land use in the development subject to the bond which would make it
probable that Core would have to fund future shortfalls in assessments.
In accordance with EITF Issue No. 91-10, Accounting for Special Assessments and Tax Increment
Financing, the Company records a liability for the estimated developer obligations that are fixed
and determinable and user fees that are required to be paid or transferred at the time the parcel
or unit is sold to an end user. At June 30, 2008, the liability related to developer obligations
was $3.5 million. This liability is included in the liabilities related to assets held for sale in
the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as of June 30, 2008, and includes
amounts associated with Cores ownership of the property.
12. Noncontrolling Interest
At June 30, 2008, BFCs economic ownership interest in BankAtlantic Bancorp and Woodbridge was
23.5% and 20.6%, respectively, and the recognition by BFC of the financial results of BankAtlantic
Bancorp and Woodbridge is determined based on the percentage of BFCs economic ownership interest
in those entities. The portion of income or loss in those subsidiaries not attributable to BFCs
economic ownership interests is classified in the financial statements as noncontrolling interest
and is subtracted from income before income taxes to arrive at consolidated net income or loss in
the financial statements.

13. Stock Compensation
BFC (excluding BankAtlantic Bancorp and Woodbridge) has a stock based compensation plan (the
2005 Stock Incentive Plan) under which restricted unvested stock, incentive stock options and
non-qualifying stock options are awarded to officers, directors and employees. The 2005 Stock
Incentive Plan provides up to 3,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock which may be issued through
restricted stock awards and upon the exercise of options granted under the 2005 Stock Incentive
Plan. BFC may grant incentive stock options only to its employees (as defined in the 2005 Stock
Incentive Plan). BFC may grant non-qualified stock options and restricted stock awards to
directors, independent contractors and agents as well as employees.
On June 2, 2008, the Board of Directors granted to non-employee directors 120,480 shares of
restricted Class A Common Stock and non-qualifying stock options to acquire 252,150 shares of Class
A Common Stock. The restricted stock will vest monthly over a 12-month service period. The
non-qualifying stock options were vested on the date of grant, have a ten-year term and have an
exercise price of $0.83 which was equal to the market value of the Class A Common Stock on the date
of grant. In June 2008, non-employee director compensation expense of approximately $100,000 was
recognized in connection with the non-qualifying stock option grants.

BFC Activities
On March 31, 2008, the membership interests of two of the Companys indirect subsidiaries in
two South Florida shopping centers were sold to an unaffiliated third party. In connection with the
sale of the membership interests, BFC was relieved of its guarantee related to the loans secured by
the shopping centers, and BFC believes that any possible remaining obligations are both remote and
immaterial.
A wholly-owned subsidiary of BFC/CCC, Inc. (BFC/CCC) has a 10% interest in a 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 of such office building, BFC/CCC
guaranteed repayment of a portion of the non-recourse loan on the property on a joint and several
basis with the managing general partner. BFC/CCCs maximum exposure under this guarantee agreement
is $8.0 million (which is shared on a joint and several basis with the managing general partner),
representing approximately 36.1% of the current indebtedness of the property, with the guarantee to
be reduced based upon the performance of the property.

Table of Contents
A wholly-owned subsidiary of BFC/CCC has a 10% interest in a limited liability company that
owns two commercial properties in Hillsborough County, Florida. In connection with the purchase of
the commercial properties, BFC and the unaffiliated member each guaranteed the payment of up to a
maximum of $5.0 million each for certain environmental indemnities and specific obligations that
are not related to the financial performance of the assets. BFC and the unaffiliated member also
entered into a cross indemnification agreement which limits BFCs obligations under the guarantee
to acts of BFC and its affiliates. The BFC guarantee represents approximately 20.5% of the current
indebtedness collateralized by the commercial properties.
A wholly-owned subsidiary of BFC/CCC has a 50% limited partner interest in a limited
partnership that has a 10% interest in a limited liability company that owns an office building in
Tampa, Florida. In connection with the purchase of the office building by the limited liability
company, BFC guaranteed the payment of certain environmental indemnities and specific obligations
that are not related to the financial performance of the asset up to a maximum of $15.0 million, or
$25.0 million in the event of any petition or involuntary proceedings under the U.S. Bankruptcy
Code or similar state insolvency laws or in the event of any transfers of interests not in
accordance with the loan documents. BFC and the unaffiliated members also entered into a cross
indemnification agreement which limits BFCs obligations under the guarantee to acts of BFC and its
affiliates.
There were no obligations associated with the above guarantees recorded in the financial
statements, based on the assets collateralizing the indebtedness, the indemnification from the
unaffiliated members and the limit of the specific obligations to non-financial matters.
Financial Services
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by BankAtlantic to guarantee the
performance of a customer to a third party. BankAtlantics 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 $13.6 million at June 30, 2008. 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 $7.4 million
at June 30, 2008. 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, 2008 and December 31, 2007 was
$23,000 and $38,000, respectively, of unearned guarantee fees. There were no obligations
associated with these guarantees recorded in the financial statements.
Real Estate Development
At June 30, 2008, Woodbridge had outstanding surety bonds and letters of credit of
approximately $7.7 million related primarily to its obligations to various governmental entities to
construct improvements in its various communities. Woodbridge estimates that approximately $4.8
million of work remains to complete these improvements and does not believe that any outstanding
bonds or letters of credit will likely be drawn upon.
Levitt and Sons had $33.3 million in surety bonds related to its ongoing projects at the time
of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases. In the event that these obligations are drawn and paid by
the surety, Woodbridge could be responsible for up to $12.0 million plus costs and expenses in
accordance with the surety indemnity agreements. As of June 30, 2008, Woodbridge had a $1.1 million
surety bonds accrual related to certain bonds which management of Woodbridge considers it to be
probable that Woodbridge will be required to reimburse the surety under applicable indemnity
agreements. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, Woodbridge reimbursed the surety
$367,000 and $532,000, respectively, in accordance with the indemnity agreement for bond claims
paid during the period. It is unclear given the uncertainty involved in the Chapter 11 Cases
whether and to what extent the remaining outstanding surety bonds of Levitt and Sons will be drawn
and the extent to which Woodbridge may be responsible for additional amounts beyond this accrual.
It is unlikely that Woodbridge would have the ability to receive any repayment, assets or other
consideration as recovery of any amounts it is required to pay.

Additionally, BFC provides certain risk management and administrative services to Bluegreen. The costs of shared services are allocated based upon the estimated usage of the respective services. Also, as part of the shared service arrangement, the Company pays BankAtlantic Bancorp and Bluegreen for office facilities costs relating to the Company and its shared service operations. | |
In May 2008, BFC and BFC Shared Service Corporation (BFC Shared Service), a wholly-owned subsidiary of BFC, entered into office lease agreements with BankAtlantic under which BFC and BFC Shared Service pay BankAtlantic an annual rent of approximately $294,000 for office space in BankAtlantics corporate headquarters. In May 2008, BFC also entered into an office sub-lease agreement with Woodbridge for office space in BankAtlantics corporate headquarters pursuant to which Woodbridge will pay BFC an annual rent of approximately $152,000. | ||
In March 2008, BankAtlantic entered into an agreement with Woodbridge to provide information technology support at a cost of $10,000 per month and a one-time set-up charge of $20,000. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, Woodbridge paid BankAtlantic approximately $17,000 related to the one-time set up charge and approximately $13,000 related to the monthly hosting fee. |

(b) | BFC and Woodbridge entered into securities sold under agreements to repurchase transactions with BankAtlantic in the aggregate of $0.3 million and $7.3 million as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. As of June 30, 2008, Woodbridge maintained funds in a money market account at BankAtlantic in the amount of $55.7 million. As of August 11, 2008, Woodbridges balance in money market accounts and securities sold under repurchase agreements at BankAtlantic is approximately $3.7 million.

BankAtlantic Bancorp, prior to the spin-off of Woodbridge in 2003, issued options to acquire
shares of BankAtlantic Bancorps Class A common stock to employees of Woodbridge. Additionally,
employees of BankAtlantic Bancorp have been transferred to affiliate companies, and BankAtlantic
Bancorp has elected, in accordance with the terms of BankAtlantic Bancorps stock option plans, not
to cancel the stock options held by those former employees. BankAtlantic Bancorp accounts for these
options to former employees as employee stock options because these individuals were employees of
BankAtlantic Bancorp on the grant date. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, certain of
these former employees exercised 13,062 of options to acquire BankAtlantic Bancorp Class A common
stock at a weighted average exercise price of $8.56. No former employees exercised options during
the six months ended June 30, 2008.
Options outstanding to BankAtlantic Bancorp former employees, who are now employees of
affiliate companies, consisted of the following as of June 30, 2008:

employees who perform services for BankAtlantic Bancorp options to acquire 49,000 and 50,300 shares
of BankAtlantic Bancorps Class A common stock at an exercise price of $9.38 and $14.69,
respectively. These options vest in five years and expire ten years from the grant date. Service
provider expense of $17,000 and $36,000 was recorded for the three and six months ended June 30,
2008, respectively, compared to $15,000 and $27,000 for the same periods in 2007.
Certain of the Companys affiliates, including its executive officers, have in the past
independently made investments with their own funds in both public and private entities that the
Company sponsored in 2001 and in which it holds investments.
Florida Partners Corporation owns 133,314 shares of the Companys Class B Common Stock and
1,270,302 shares of the Companys Class A Common Stock. Alan B. Levan may be deemed to be the
controlling shareholder of Florida Partners Corporation with beneficial ownership of approximately
44.5% of its outstanding stock and is also a member of its Board of Directors.
On November 19, 2007, BFCs shareholders approved the merger of I.R.E Realty Advisory Group,
Inc. (I.R.E. RAG), a 45.5% subsidiary of BFC, with and into BFC. The sole assets of I.R.E. RAG
were 4,764,285 shares of BFC Class A Common Stock and 500,000 shares of BFC Class B Common Stock.
In connection with the merger, the shareholders of I.R.E. RAG, other than BFC, received an
aggregate of approximately 2,601,300 shares of BFC Class A Common Stock and 273,000 shares of BFC
Class B Common Stock, representing their respective pro rata beneficial ownership interests in
I.R.E. RAGs BFC shares, and the 4,764,285 shares of BFC Class A Common Stock and 500,000 shares of
BFC Class B Common Stock that were held by I.R.E. RAG were canceled. The shareholders of I.R.E.
RAG, other than BFC, were Levan Enterprises, Ltd. and I.R.E. Properties, Inc., each of which is an
affiliate of Alan B. Levan, Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairman of the Board of
Directors of BFC. The transaction was consummated on November 30, 2007.

17. Loss Per Common Share
The Company has two classes of common stock outstanding. The two-class method is not presented
because the Companys 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.
Prior to the merger of I.R.E. RAG, their ownership of 4,764,285 shares of the Companys Class
A Common Stock and 500,000 shares of the Companys Class B Common Stock were considered
outstanding, but because the Company owned 45.5% of the outstanding common stock of I.R.E. RAG,
2,165,367 shares of Class A Common Stock and 227,250 shares of Class B Common Stock were eliminated
from the number of shares outstanding for purposes of computing earnings per share.
The merger neither increased the number of shares of BFC Class A Common Stock or Class B
Common Stock outstanding nor changed the outstanding shares for calculating earnings (loss) per
share.
The following reconciles the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted loss per
common share computation for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 (in

In June 2008, BFC (the parent company) increased its investment in a wholly-owned subsidiary
by converting a $3.7 million note receivable that was due from a wholly-owned subsidiary into
equity in that subsidiary.
19. Income Taxes
BankAtlantic Bancorp and Woodbridge are not included in the Companys consolidated tax return.
At June 30, 2008, the Company (excluding BankAtlantic Bancorp and Woodbridge) had estimated state
and federal net operating loss (NOLs) carryforwards of approximately $82.2 million. As the
Company is not expected to generate taxable income from operations in the foreseeable future, the
Company has plans to implement a planning strategy to utilize NOLs that are scheduled to expire. If
the strategy is implemented, the Company would begin selling shares of BankAtlantic Bancorp Class A
Common Stock in order to generate sufficient taxable income to utilize the $3.3 million of NOLs
expected to expire in 2008. The Company would then repurchase a sufficient number of shares to
substantially maintain its ownership of BankAtlantic Bancorp. If the stock price on sale is lower
than the Companys book basis at the time of sale, a loss will be recognized and reflected in the
Companys results of operations. Based on the current stock price of BankAtlantic Bancorp Class A
Common Stock, the Companys management has determined that it is not possible to implement the
strategy at this time and will re-evaluate its position at the end of the third quarter of 2008.
BankAtlantic Bancorp evaluates the need for a deferred tax asset valuation allowance
quarterly. Based on its evaluation as of June 30, 2008, a valuation allowance was required in the
amount of $6.2 million as it was more likely than not that certain State net operating loss carry
forwards included in BankAtlantic Bancorps deferred tax assets will not be realized. Although
BankAtlantic Bancorp incurred substantial losses before income taxes for the year ended December
31, 2007 and for the six months ended June 30, 2008, management of BankAtlantic Bancorp
36
Table of Contents
believes that it is more likely than not that BankAtlantic Bancorp will have sufficient taxable income in
future years to realize its remaining net deferred income tax asset. Management of BankAtlantic
Bancorp believes that these losses primarily reflect the deteriorating Florida real estate market
that led to significant charge-offs and provisions for loan losses in BankAtlantics commercial
residential real estate and consumer home equity loan portfolios. Management of BankAtlantic
Bancorp believes that it will realize its net deferred tax asset over the allowable carry forward
period. However, if future events change managements assumptions and estimates regarding
BankAtlantic Bancorps future earnings, a significant deferred tax asset valuation allowance may
have to be established.
Due to Woodbridges large losses in 2007 and expected taxable losses in the foreseeable
future, at this time, Woodbridge does not believe it will have sufficient taxable income of the
appropriate character in the future and prior carryback years to realize any portion of the net
deferred tax asset. Accordingly in 2008, Woodbridge recorded a valuation allowance for those
deferred tax assets that are not expected to be recovered in the future.
Wood bridge and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as to income
tax in Florida and South Carolina. Woodbridge has effectively settled all U.S. federal income tax
matters for years through 2004. All years subsequent to these closed periods remain open and
subject to examination.
At June 30, 2008, Woodbridge had $2.4 million in unrecognized tax benefits related to the
implementation of FASB Interpretation No. 48 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an
interpretation of FASB No. 109. ). FIN No. 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.
20. Goodwill
Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually at the reporting unit level in accordance
with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Goodwill may be tested more frequently
if certain conditions are met. As a result of the adverse real estate market conditions,
BankAtlantic performed an interim goodwill impairment test for its reporting units as of June 30,
2008. The results of this test indicated that goodwill was not impaired. If market conditions
deteriorate further in the Florida real estate markets or if competition increases in the banking
environment in Florida, we may be required to record a goodwill impairment charge in subsequent
periods.
21. New Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, FASB Statement No. 141 (Revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS No.
141(R)) was issued. This statement will significantly change the accounting for business
combinations. Under SFAS No. 141(R), an acquiring entity will be required to recognize all the
assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value with
limited exceptions. SFAS No.141(R) will change the accounting treatment for certain specific items,
including the following: acquisition costs will be generally expensed as incurred; noncontrolling
interests (formerly known as minority interests) will be valued at fair value at the acquisition
date; acquired contingent liabilities will be recorded at fair value at the acquisition date and
subsequently measured at either the higher of such amount or the amount determined under existing
guidance for non-acquired contingencies; and changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and
income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally will affect income tax expense. Also
included in SFAS No.141(R) are a substantial number of new disclosure requirements. SFAS No.141(R)
applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the
beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier
adoption is prohibited. Accordingly, a calendar year-end company is required to record and disclose
business combinations following existing Generally Accepted Accounting Principles until December
31, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) could have a material effect on the Companys
consolidated financial statements if management decides to pursue business combinations due to the
requirement to write-off transaction costs to the consolidated statements of operations.
37
Table of Contents
In December 2007, FASB issued FASB Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated
Financial StatementsAn Amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS No. 160). SFAS No. 160 establishes new
accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the
deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Specifically, this statement requires the recognition of a
noncontrolling interest (minority interest) as equity in the consolidated financial statements and
separate from the parents equity. The amount of net income attributable to the noncontrolling
interest will be included in consolidated net income on the income statement. SFAS No. 160
clarifies that changes in a parents ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in
deconsolidation are equity transactions if the parent retains its controlling financial interest.
In addition, this statement requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a
subsidiary is deconsolidated. Such gain or loss will be measured using the fair value of the
noncontrolling equity investment on the deconsolidation date. SFAS No. 160 also includes expanded
disclosure requirements regarding the interests of the parent and its noncontrolling interest. SFAS
No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on
or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the
impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 160 will have on the Companys consolidated financial
statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS No. 161). SFAS No,. 161 is intended to improve
financial reporting by requiring transparency about the location and amounts of derivative
instruments in an entitys financial statements; how derivative instruments and related hedged
items are accounted for under SFAS No 133; and how derivative instruments and related hedged items
affect entitys financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective
for the first quarter of 2009. SFAS No. 161 expands derivative disclosure on the annual and
interim reporting period. Management does not believe that the implementation of SFAS No. 161 will
impact the Companys financial statements.
In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 162, The
Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (SFAS No. 162). SFAS No. 162 is intended
to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting
accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements for nongovernmental entities
that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States
of America. SFAS No. 162 will be effective 60 days following the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commissions approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU
Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles. The Company has not yet determined the impact, if any, that the adoption of SFAS No.
162 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
22. Litigation
On January 25, 2008, plaintiff Robert D. Dance filed a purported class action complaint as a
putative purchaser of Woodbridges securities against Woodbridge and certain of its officers and
directors, asserting claims under the federal securities laws and seeking damages. This action was
filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida and is captioned
Dance v. Levitt Corp. et al., No. 08-CV-60111-DLG. The securities litigation purports to be
brought on behalf of all purchasers of Woodbridges securities during the period beginning on
January 31, 2007 and ending on August 14, 2007. The complaint alleges that the defendants violated
Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated
thereunder by issuing a series of false and/or misleading statements concerning Woodbridges
financial results, prospects and condition. Woodbridge intends to vigorously defend this action.
The Company is a party to additional various claims and lawsuits which arise in the ordinary
course of business. The Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these claims or
lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on its business, financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.

Table of Contents
23. Financial Information of Levitt and Sons
As described in Note 1 above, on November 9, 2007, the Debtors filed the Chapter 11 Cases. The
Debtors commenced the Chapter 11 Cases in order to preserve the value of their assets and to
facilitate an orderly wind-down of their businesses and disposition of their assets in a manner
intended to maximize the recoveries of all constituents. In connection with the filing of the
Chapter 11 Cases, Woodbridge deconsolidated Levitt and Sons as of November 9, 2007. As a result of
the deconsolidation, Woodbridge had a negative basis in its investment in Levitt and Sons because
Levitt and Sons generated significant losses and intercompany liabilities in excess of its asset
balances. This negative investment, Loss in excess of investment in Woodbridges subsidiary, is
reflected as a single amount on the Companys Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as a
$55.2 million liability as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007. This balance was comprised of a
negative investment in Levitt and Sons of $123.0 million, and outstanding advances due to
Woodbridge from Levitt and Sons of $67.8 million. Included in the negative investment was
approximately $15.8 million associated with deferred revenue related to intra-segment sales between
Levitt and Sons and Core Communities.
On November 27, 2007, the Bankruptcy Court granted the Debtors Motion for Authority to Incur
Chapter 11 Administrative Expense Claim (the Chapter 11 Admin. Expense Motion), thereby
authorizing the Debtors to incur a post petition administrative expense claim in favor of
Woodbridge for administrative costs relating to certain services and benefits provided by
Woodbridge in favor of the Debtors (the Post Petition Services). While the Bankruptcy Court
approved the incurrence of the amounts as unsecured post petition administrative expense claims,
the payment of such claims is subject to additional court approval. In addition to the unsecured
administrative expense claims, Woodbridge has pre-petition secured and unsecured claims against the
Debtors. The Debtors have scheduled the amounts due to Woodbridge in the Chapter 11 Cases. The
unsecured pre-petition claims of Woodbridge scheduled by the Debtors are approximately $67.3
million and the secured pre-petition claim scheduled by the Debtors is approximately $460,000.
Since the Chapter 11 Cases were filed, Woodbridge has also incurred certain administrative costs
related to the Post Petition Services, these costs amounted to $591,000 and $1.6 million in the
three and six months ended June 30, 2008. Additionally, as disclosed in Note 15, in the six months
ended June 30, 2008, Woodbridge reimbursed a Levitt and Sons surety for $532,000 of bond claims
paid by the surety. The payment by the Debtors of its outstanding advances and the Post Petition
Services expenses are subject to the risks inherent to recovery by creditors in the Chapter 11
Cases. Woodbridge has also filed contingent claims with respect to any liability it may have
arising out of disputed indemnification obligations under certain surety bonds. Lastly, Woodbridge
implemented an employee severance fund in favor of certain employees of the Debtors. Employees who
received funds as part of this program as of June 30, 2008, which totaled approximately $3.0
million as of that date, have assigned their unsecured claims to Woodbridge. It is highly unlikely
that Woodbridge will recover these or any other amounts associated with its unsecured claims
against the Debtors. Further, the Debtors have asserted certain claims against Woodbridge,
including an entitlement to a portion of any federal tax refund which Woodbridge may receive as a
consequence of losses experienced at Levitt and Sons in prior periods.
On June 27, 2008, Woodbridge entered into a settlement agreement (the Settlement Agreement)
with the Debtors and the Joint Committee of Unsecured Creditors appointed in the Chapter 11 Cases.
Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, among other things, (i) Woodbridge has agreed to pay to the
Debtors bankruptcy estates the sum of $12.5 million plus accrued interest from May 22, 2008
through the date of payment, (ii) Woodbridge has agreed to waive and release substantially all of
the claims it has against the Debtors, including its administrative expense claims through
July 2008, and (iii) the Debtors (joined by the Joint Committee of Unsecured Creditors) have agreed
to waive and release any claims they may have against Woodbridge and its affiliates. The Settlement
Agreement is subject to a number of conditions, including the approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
There is no assurance that the Settlement Agreement will be approved or the transactions
contemplated by it completed. Upon such approval, if any, Woodbridge will make payments in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the Settlement Agreement, recognize the cost of
settlement and reverse the related liability into income.
Since Levitt and Sons results are no longer consolidated with Woodbridges results, and
Woodbridge believes it is not probable that it will be obligated to fund further losses related to
its investment in Levitt and Sons, any material uncertainties related to Levitt and Sons ongoing
operations are not expected to impact Woodbridges future financial results other than in
connection with Woodbridges contractual obligations to third parties and payment of the settlement
amount.
Certain of the Debtor subsidiaries of Levitt and Sons have been provided with post-petition
financing (DIP Loans) from a third-party lender (the DIP
39
Table of Contents
Lender) which had financed such
Debtors projects. Under the agreements for the DIP Loans, the DIP Loans are to be used for (i) the
reimbursement of the DIP Lenders costs and fees, (ii) the costs of managing and safeguarding the
projects, (iii) the costs of making the projects ready for sale, (iv) the costs to complete the
projects, (v) the general working capital needs of the Debtors related to the projects and (vi)
such other costs and expenses related to the DIP Loans or the projects as the DIP Lender may elect.
The Bankruptcy Courts order approving the DIP Loans also approved the sales of homes in the
projects with the net proceeds from such sales being applied towards the DIP Loans. The order also
appointed a Chief Administrator to manage and supervise all administrative functions of these
Debtors related to the projects in accordance with the scope of authority set forth in the DIP Loan
agreements. These projects represent 87.5% of total assets, 66.1% of total liabilities and 35.1% of
the shareholders deficit of Levitt and Sons at June 30, 2008.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, the DIP Loans financed construction and
development activities, and selling, general and administrative expenses related to the projects,
as well as the costs, fees and other expenses of the DIP Lender, including interest expense.
Additionally, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, homes in the projects have been
sold and closed, resulting in the receipt by the Debtors of sales proceeds. The Chief Administrator
is maintaining the accounting records for these transactions in accordance with the DIP Loan
agreements and as a result, financial information is not available to Woodbridge which could be
used to record these transactions in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in
the United States on a basis consistent with Woodbridges accounting for similar transactions.
Accordingly, these transactions have not been reflected in the financial information for Levitt and
Sons included in this footnote. However, as described herein, due to the deconsolidation of Levitt
and Sons from Woodbridges statements of financial condition and results of operations as of
November 9, 2007, these transactions, and the omission of the results of these transactions, will
not have an impact on Woodbridges financial condition or operating results.

24. Other Matters
In May 2008, the Company was notified by the NYSE Arca, Inc. that it did not have a market value of publicly held shares in excess of
$15 million or an average closing price per share of its Class A Common Stock in excess of $1.00 for a consecutive 30 Trading-day period, as required for continued listing. The Company is considering effecting a reverse stock split during the third or fourth quarter
of 2008 which, if consummated, would combine a predetermined number of shares of the Companys
Class A Common Stock into one share of Class A Common Stock and the same predetermined number of
shares of the Companys Class B Common Stock into one share of Class B Common Stock. The reverse
stock split would proportionately reduce the number of authorized shares and the number of
outstanding shares of the Companys Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, but would not
have any impact on a shareholders proportionate equity interest or voting rights in the Company.
The Company is considering effecting the reverse stock split based on the continued listing
requirements of the NYSE Arca. While the reverse stock split would potentially address issues with
respect to the trading price of the Companys Class A Common Stock, the exchange also requires a
minimum market value of publicly held shares and excludes the value of shares held by large
shareholders from that calculation. Given the current composition of the Companys shareholders, it
may be difficult for the Company to meet this requirement for continued listing. There is no
assurance that the reverse stock split will be effected in the timeframe anticipated, or at all.
25. Subsequent Event
On August 11, 2008, Woodbridge was notified by the New York Stock Exchange that Woodbridge did not
have an average closing price per share of its Class A Common Stock in excess of $1.00 for a
consecutive 30 trading-day period, as required for continued listing. Woodbridge intends to provide
notification to the New York Stock Exchange of its intent to seek to cure the deficiency and the
steps it will take to attempt to do so, which may include, among other actions, the contemplated
reverse stock split described elsewhere in this report. If Woodbridge is unable to satisfy the
requirement within time frame specified by the rules and regulations of the New York Stock
Exchange, Woodbridges Class A Common Stock will be delisted from the exchange.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
and Results of Operations
Overview
BFC Financial Corporation (BFC or the Company) (NYSE Arca: BFF) is a diversified holding
company that invests in and acquires private and public companies in different industries. BFCs
current major holdings include controlling interests in BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries (BankAtlantic Bancorp) (NYSE: BBX) and Woodbridge Holdings Corporation
(formerly Levitt Corporation) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (Woodbridge) (NYSE: WDG) and a
noncontrolling interest in Benihana, Inc. (NASDAQ: BNHN), which operates Asian-themed restaurant
chains in the United States. As a result of the Companys position as the controlling shareholder
of BankAtlantic Bancorp, BFC is a unitary savings bank holding company regulated by the Office of
Thrift Supervision.
Historically, BFCs business strategy has been to invest in and acquire businesses in diverse
industries either directly or through controlled subsidiaries with the intent to hold the
investments for the long term. Recently, BFC determined that the best potential for growth is
likely through the growth of the companies it currently controls. Accordingly, rather than actively
seeking additional direct investments, the Company intends to provide overall support for its
controlled subsidiaries with a focus on the improved performance of the organization as a whole.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2008, the Company aligned its staff to this goal by transferring
approximately seven employees to its subsidiary in an effort to seek potentially greater value to
the overall organization at that level.
The Companys primary activities relate to managing its investments. As of June 30, 2008, BFC
had total consolidated assets of approximately $7.2 billion, including the assets of its
consolidated subsidiaries, noncontrolling interest of $503.6 million and shareholders equity of
approximately $172.1 million. The Company operates through four reportable segments; BFC
Activities, Financial Services and two segments within its Real Estate Development Division. The
Financial Services segment includes the results of operations of BankAtlantic Bancorp. The Real
Estate Development Division includes Woodbridges results of operations and consists of two
reportable segments Land Division and Woodbridge Other Operations. In 2007, the Company operated
through two additional reportable business segments, Primary Homebuilding and Tennessee
Homebuilding, both of which were eliminated as a result of Levitt and Sons deconsolidation.
As a holding company with controlling positions in BankAtlantic Bancorp and Woodbridge, BFC is
required under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to consolidate the financial results
of these companies. As a consequence, the financial information of both entities is presented on a
consolidated basis in BFCs financial statements. However, except as otherwise noted, the debts and
obligations of BankAtlantic Bancorp and Woodbridge are not direct obligations of BFC and are
non-recourse to BFC. Similarly, the assets of those entities are not available to BFC absent its
pro rata share in a dividend or distribution. At June 30, 2008, BFCs economic ownership interest
in BankAtlantic Bancorp and Woodbridge was 23.5% and 20.6%, respectively, and the recognition by
BFC of the financial results of BankAtlantic Bancorp and Woodbridge is determined based on the
percentage of BFCs economic ownership interest in those entities. The portion of income or loss in
those subsidiaries not attributable to BFCs economic ownership interests is classified in the
financial statements as noncontrolling interest and is subtracted from income before income taxes
to arrive at consolidated net income or loss in the financial statements.

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 real estate held for
development and sale and its impairment reserves, revenue and cost recognition on percent complete
projects, estimated costs to complete construction, the valuation of investments in unconsolidated
subsidiaries, the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities in the application of the
purchase method of accounting, accounting for deferred tax asset valuation allowance, accounting
for uncertain tax positions, accounting for contingencies, and assumptions used in the valuation of
stock based compensation. The ten 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) the valuation of real estate held for development and sale; (vii) the
valuation of unconsolidated subsidiaries; (viii) accounting for deferred tax asset valuation
allowance; (ix) accounting for contingencies; and (x) accounting for share-based compensation.

Consolidated Financial Condition
Consolidated Assets and Liabilities
Total assets at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 were $7.2 billion and $7.1 billion,
respectively. The significant changes in components of total assets from December 31, 2007 to June
30, 2008 are summarized below:
| An increase in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $60.8 million which resulted from: (i) higher cash and cash equivalents of $184.0 million at BankAtlantic Bancorp, which resulted primarily from $144.0 million of higher federal funds sold and $29 million cash letter balances associated with daily cash management activities at BankAtlantic Bancorp, offset by (ii) a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $69.9 million at Woodbridge, which resulted from cash used in operations of $38.3 million, cash used in investing activities of $16.1 million and cash used in financing activities of $15.5 million, and (iii) a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $4.1 million at BFC, which resulted primarily from cash used in operations; | ||
| A decrease in securities available for sale reflecting BankAtlantic Bancorps sale of Stifel common stock and the liquidation of managed fund equity investments. This decrease in securities available for sale was offset in part by Woodbridges net acquisition of equity securities of $15.7 million; | ||
| A decrease in investment securities at cost reflecting BankAtlantic Bancorps sale of Stifel common stock and certain private equity investments; | ||
| Increase in tax certificate balances in BankAtlantic primarily due to the acquisition of $225 million tax certificates in Florida during the 2008 second quarter; | ||
| Higher investment in FHLB stock at BankAtlantic related to increases in FHLB advance borrowings; | ||
| A decline in BankAtlantics loan receivable balances associated with lower purchased residential loan balances, significant charge-offs of commercial loans partially offset by higher home equity loan balances; | ||
| An increase in inventory of real estate held for development and sale primarily associated with an increase in Woodbridges inventory of real estate in the land division. This increase in inventory of real estate was partially offset by lower real estate inventory held by BankAtlantic development and a decline in assets held for sale at BankAtlantic due to property sales and $1.4 million of impairments recognized during the 2008 second quarter; | ||
| Decrease in office properties and equipment due to the completion of the sale of BankAtlantics Central Florida stores to an unrelated financial institution during the 2008 second quarter; | ||
| An increase in deferred tax asset, net reflecting BankAtlantics operating loss during the six months ended June 30, 2008 and lower unrealized gains with respect to securities available for sale; and | ||
| An increase in other assets primarily resulting from BankAtlantics sales of agency and equity securities pending settlement. |
The Companys total liabilities at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 were $6.5 billion and
$6.4 billion, respectively. The significant changes in components of total liabilities from
December 31, 2007 to June 30, 2008 are summarized below:
| Higher non-interest-bearing deposit balances primarily due to an increase in accounts and higher average customer balances in checking accounts; | ||
| Lower interest-bearing deposit balances primarily associated with lower high yield savings and certificate account balances primarily due to the competitive environment in BankAtlantics markets; | ||
| An increase in BankAtlantic FHLB borrowings in order to maintain higher cash balances associated with daily cash management activities; | ||
| A decrease in Woodbridges notes and mortgage notes payable of $16.9 million primarily due to a curtailment payment made in connection with a development loan collateralized by land in Tradition Hilton Head; and | ||
| A decrease in other liabilities which primarily resulted from BankAtlantics December 2007 purchase of $18.9 million of securities pending settlement in January 2008. |

BFC Activities
BFC Activities
The BFC Activities segment includes all of the operations and all of the assets owned by BFC
other than BankAtlantic Bancorp and its subsidiaries and Woodbridge and its subsidiaries. This
segment includes the arrangement between BFC, BankAtlantic Bancorp, Woodbridge and Bluegreen for
shared service operations in the areas of human resources, risk management, investor relations,
executive office administration and other services, as well as BFCs overhead expenses, interest
income and dividend income from BFCs investment in Benihanas convertible preferred stock, the
financial results of a venture partnership that BFC controls, and financial results from BFC/CCC,
Inc (formerly Cypress Creek Capital, Inc.) (BFC/CCC). During the quarter ended June 30, 2008, the
Company brought its staff in line with its anticipated activities by transferring approximately
seven employees to Woodbridge where the individuals can potentially provide greater value to the
overall organization.
The BFC Activities segment also includes BFCs provision (benefit) for income taxes, including
the tax provision (benefit) related to the Companys interest in the earnings or losses of
BankAtlantic Bancorp and Woodbridge. BankAtlantic Bancorp and Woodbridge are consolidated in BFCs
financial statements, as described earlier. The Companys earnings or losses in BankAtlantic
Bancorp are included in BFCs Financial Services segment. The Companys earnings and losses in
Woodbridge in 2008 are included in two reportable segments, which are Land Division and Woodbridge
Other Operations. In 2007 Woodbridges earnings and losses included two additional reportable
business segments, Primary Homebuilding and Tennessee Homebuilding, both of which have been
eliminated as a result of Levitt and Sons deconsolidation following its bankruptcy filing.
At June 30, 2008, BFC had 9 employees dedicated to BFC operations and 29 employees providing
shared services to BFC and the affiliate companies. At June 30, 2007, BFC had 12 employees
dedicated to BFC operations, 10 employees in BFC/CCC, and 26 employees providing shared services to
BFC and the affiliate companies.

The decrease in interest and dividend income during the three and six months ended June 30,
2008 as compared to the same periods in 2007 was primarily related to lower interest rates and
lower cash balances on deposit.
In 2008, securities activities of $103,000 related to a gain on the sale of securities that

venture partnership that BFC controls. In 2007, BFC recognized a gain on the sale
of securities of approximately $1.3 million.
The decrease in other income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared
to the same periods in 2007 was primarily due to lower advisory fees earned by BFC/CCC partially
offset by approximately $1.1 million in connection with the sale of its indirect membership
interests in limited liability companies. Also, included in other income are shared service
operations revenues. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 income from shared
services operations were approximately $872,000 and $1.4 million, respectively, compared with
$728,000 and $1.5 million, for the same periods in 2007. Shared services operations revenue related
to BankAtlantic Bancorp and Woodbridge were eliminated in the Companys consolidated financial
statements.
The decrease in employee compensation and benefits during the three months ended June 30, 2008
as compared to the same period in 2007 was primarily due to transfer of seven employees to
Woodbridge discussed above.
The increase in other expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same
period in 2007 was due to an increase in recruiting fees, legal, professional and consulting fees.
The decrease in the benefit for income taxes during the quarter ended June 30, 2008 was
primarily attributable to a decline in our combined equity losses in BankAtlantic Bancorp and
Woodbridge which were approximately $6.6 million in 2008, as compared to $7.1 million in 2007. The
increase in the benefit for income taxes during the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to
the same period in 2007 was primarily due to the combined equity losses in BankAtlantic Bancorp and
Woodbridge of approximately $14.7 million in 2008 as compared to $7.4 million in 2007.

The primary sources of funds to the BFC Activities segment for the six months ended June 30,
2008 and 2007 (without consideration of BankAtlantic Bancorps or Woodbridges liquidity and
capital resources, which, except as noted, are not available to BFC) were:
| Revenues from shared services activities for affiliated companies; | ||
| Dividends from Benihana; | ||
| Venture partnership distributions; | ||
| Revenues from BFC/CCC advisory fees; | ||
| Proceeds from the sale of BFC/CCCs indirect membership interests in limited liability companies; and | ||
| Dividends from BankAtlantic Bancorp. |

BFC Activities
Funds were primarily utilized by BFC to:
| Pay dividends on the Companys 5% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock; and | ||
| Fund BFCs operating and general and administrative expenses, including shared services costs. |
The increase in cash used in operating activities during 2008 compared to 2007 was primarily
the result of a decline in cash flow associated with lower BFC/CCC advisory fees and higher bonus
expense at BFC/CCC associated with the sale of its indirect membership interests in limited
liability companies.
The decline in cash provided by investing activities during 2008 compared to 2007 was due
primarily to the sale of equity securities in 2007 for approximately $1.3 million, partially
offset in 2008 by the distribution of a venture partnership of approximately $533,000.
The increase in cash used in financing activities during 2008 compared to 2007 was due to the
payments of the Companys 5% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock dividends in both years with
an offset in 2007 related to the exercise of stock option receipts.
On October 24, 2006, the Companys Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to
1,750,000 shares of its common stock at an aggregate cost of no more than $10.0 million. The timing
and amount of repurchases, if any, will depend on market conditions, share price, trading volume
and other factors, and there is no assurance that the Company will repurchase shares during any
period. No termination date was set for the repurchase program. It is anticipated that any share
repurchases would be funded through existing cash balances. No shares to date were repurchased
under this program.
BFC expects to meet its short-term liquidity requirements generally through existing cash
balances and cash dividends from Benihana. The Company expects to meet its 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 declaration and payment of dividends and the ability of BankAtlantic Bancorp to meet its
debt service obligations will depend upon the results of operations, financial condition and cash
requirements of BankAtlantic Bancorp, and the ability of BankAtlantic to pay dividends to
BankAtlantic Bancorp. The ability of BankAtlantic to pay dividends or make other distributions to
BankAtlantic Bancorp is subject to regulations and Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) approval
and is based upon BankAtlantics regulatory capital levels and net income. Because BankAtlantic had
an accumulated deficit for 2006 and 2007, BankAtlantic is required to file an application seeking
OTS approval prior to the payment of dividends to BankAtlantic Bancorp. While the OTS has approved
dividends to date, the OTS would likely not approve any distribution that would cause BankAtlantic
to fail to meet its capital requirements or if the OTS believes that a capital distribution by
BankAtlantic constitutes an unsafe or unsound action or practice; there is no assurance that the
OTS will approve future capital distributions from BankAtlantic. At June 30, 2008, 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 holders of its Common Stock since August 1993. BankAtlantic Bancorp currently
pays a quarterly dividend of $0.005 per share on its Class A and Class B Common Stock. During the
six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company received approximately $132,000 in dividends from
BankAtlantic Bancorp.
Woodbridge began paying quarterly dividends to its shareholders in July 2004 and continued
paying dividends of $0.02 per share on its Class A and Class B Common Stock through the first
quarter of 2007. The Company received approximately $66,000 in 2007. Woodbridge has not paid any
dividends since the first quarter of 2007, and the Company does not anticipate that it will receive
additional dividends from Woodbridge for the foreseeable future. Any future dividends are subject
to approval by Woodbridges Board of Directors and will depend upon, among other factors,
Woodbridges results of operations and financial condition.
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 5% or $1.25 per share, payable on the last day of each calendar quarter.
It is anticipated that the Company will continue to receive approximately $250,000 per quarter.

BFC Activities
On March 31, 2008, the membership interests of two of the Companys indirect subsidiaries in
two South Florida shopping centers were sold to an unaffiliated third party. In connection with the
sale of the membership interests, BFC was relieved of its guarantee obligations related to the
loans secured by the shopping centers, and BFC believes that any possible remaining obligations are
both remote and immaterial.
A wholly-owned subsidiary of BFC/CCC has a 10% interest in a 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 of such office building, BFC/CCC guaranteed repayment
of a portion of the non-recourse loan on the property on a joint and several basis with the
managing general partner. BFC/CCCs maximum exposure under this guarantee agreement is $8.0 million
(which is shared on a joint and several basis with the managing general partner), representing
approximately 36.1% of the current indebtedness of the property, with the guarantee to be reduced
based upon the performance of the property.
A wholly-owned subsidiary of BFC/CCC has a 10% interest in a limited liability company that
owns two commercial properties in Hillsborough County, Florida. In connection with the purchase of
the commercial properties, BFC and the unaffiliated member each guaranteed the payment of up to a
maximum of $5.0 million each for certain environmental indemnities and specific obligations that
are not related to the financial performance of the assets. BFC and the unaffiliated member also
entered into a cross indemnification agreement which limits BFCs obligations under the guarantee
to acts of BFC and its affiliates. The BFC guarantee represents approximately 20.5% of the current
indebtedness collateralized by the commercial properties.
A wholly-owned subsidiary of BFC/CCC has a 50% limited partner interest in a limited
partnership that has a 10% interest in a limited liability company that owns an office building in
Tampa, Florida. In connection with the purchase of the office building by the limited liability
company, BFC guaranteed the payment of certain environmental indemnities and specific obligations
that are not related to the financial performance of the asset up to a maximum of $15.0 million, or
$25.0 million in the event of any petition or involuntary proceedings under the U.S. Bankruptcy
Code or similar state insolvency laws or in the event of any transfers of interests not in
accordance with the loan documents. BFC and the unaffiliated members also entered into a cross
indemnification agreement which limits BFCs obligations under the guarantee to acts of BFC and its
affiliates.
There were no obligations associated with the above guarantees recorded in the financial
statements, based on the assets collateralizing the indebtedness, the indemnification from the
unaffiliated members and the limit of the specific obligations to non-financial matters.
On June 21, 2004, an investor group purchased 15,000 shares of the Companys 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 Companys 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 dividends on the 5% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock of $187,500
on a quarterly basis. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company paid $375,000 in
dividends to the investor group.

Financial Services
Our Financial Services segment consists of BankAtlantic Bancorp, which is consolidated with
BFC Financial Corporation. The only assets available to BFC Financial Corporation from BankAtlantic
Bancorp are dividends when and if paid by BankAtlantic Bancorp. BankAtlantic Bancorp is a separate
public company and its management prepared the following discussion regarding BankAtlantic Bancorp
which was included in BankAtlantic Bancorps Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
June 30, 2008 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, references to the
Company, we, us or our in the following discussion under the caption Financial Services
are references to BankAtlantic Bancorp 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 BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the
Company, which may also be referred to as we, us, or our) for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The principal assets of the Company consist of its
ownership of BankAtlantic, a federal savings bank headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and
its subsidiaries (BankAtlantic).
Except for historical information contained herein, the matters discussed in this document
contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the Securities Act), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the Exchange Act), that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. When used in this
document and in any documents incorporated by reference herein, the words anticipate, believe,
estimate, may, intend, expect and similar expressions identify certain of such
forward-looking statements. Actual results, performance, or achievements could differ materially
from those contemplated, expressed, or implied by the forward-looking statements contained herein.
These forward-looking statements are based largely on the expectations of BankAtlantic Bancorp,
Inc. (the Company) and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that are subject to
change based on factors which are, in many instances, beyond the Companys control. These include,
but are not limited to, risks and uncertainties associated with: the impact of economic,
competitive and other factors affecting the Company and its operations, markets, products and
services, including the impact of a continued downturn in the economy or a recession on our
business generally, as well as the ability of our borrowers to service their obligations and on our
customers to maintain account balances; credit risks and loan losses, and the related sufficiency
of the allowance for loan losses, including the impact on the credit quality of our loans
(including those held in the asset workout subsidiary of the Company), of a sustained downturn in
the real estate market and other changes in the real estate markets in our trade area, and where
our collateral is located; the quality of our residential land acquisition and development loans
(including Builder land bank loans) and conditions specifically in that market sector; the risks
of additional charge-offs, impairments and required increases in our
allowance for loan losses and the potential impact on
BankAtlantics maintenance of well capitalized ratios;
BankAtlantic Bancorps ability to successfully manage the loans held by the newly formed asset
workout subsidiary; the successful completion of a sale or joint venture of BankAtlantic Bancorps
interests in the newly formed asset workout subsidiary in the future, and the risk that we will
continue to realize losses in that loan portfolio; changes in interest rates and the effects of,
and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws including their impact on the banks
net interest margin; adverse conditions in the stock market, the public debt market and other
capital markets and the impact of such conditions on our activities and the value of our assets;
BankAtlantics seven-day banking initiatives and other growth, marketing or advertising initiatives
not resulting in continued growth of core deposits or increasing average balances of new deposit
accounts or producing results which do not justify their costs; the success of our expense
discipline initiatives and the ability to achieve additional cost savings; the success of
BankAtlantics store expansion program, and achieving growth and profitability at the stores in the
time frames anticipated, if at all; and the impact of periodic testing of goodwill, deferred tax
assets and other assets for impairment; the risks and uncertainties associated with the rights
offering, including that, because of business, economic or market conditions or for any other
reasons within the Companys discretion, the Company may decide not to pursue the rights offering
on the terms proposed, if at all, and that the rights offering may not be consummated; and the
risks and uncertainties associated with the reverse stock split, including that, because of
business, economic or market conditions or for any other reasons within the Companys discretion,
the Company may decide not to effect the reverse stock split on the currently contemplated terms,
if at all. Past performance, actual or estimated new account openings and growth may not be
indicative of future results. In addition to the risks and factors identified above, reference is
also made to other risks and factors detailed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2007 filed with

the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company cautions that the
foregoing factors are not exclusive.
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 statements 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 amount of the
deferred tax asset valuation allowance, accounting for uncertain tax positions, accounting for
contingencies, and assumptions used in the valuation of stock based compensation. The four
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; and
(iv) the accounting for deferred tax asset valuation allowance. For a more detailed discussion of
these critical accounting policies other than the accounting for deferred tax valuation allowance
see Critical Accounting Policies appearing in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2007.
Accounting for Deferred Tax Asset Valuation Allowance
The Company periodically reviews the carrying amount of its deferred tax assets to determine
if the establishment of a valuation allowance is necessary. If based on the available evidence,
it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the Companys deferred tax assets will not be
realized, a deferred tax valuation allowance would be established. Consideration is given to all
positive and negative evidence related to the realization of the deferred tax assets.
In evaluating the available evidence, management considered historical financial
performance, expectation of future earnings, length of statutory carry forward periods, experience
with operating loss and tax credit carry forwards not expiring unused, tax planning strategies and
timing of reversals of temporary differences. Significant judgment is required in assessing future
earnings trends and the timing of reversals of temporary differences. The Companys evaluation is
based on current tax laws as well as managements expectations of future performance based on its
strategic initiatives. Changes in existing tax laws and future results differing from expectations
may result in significant changes in the deferred tax assets valuation allowance.
Based on our evaluation as of June 30, 2008, it appears more likely than not that a portion of
the Companys net deferred tax assets will not be realized. As a result of this determination a
valuation allowance was required in the amount of $6.2 million and $5.5 million at June 30, 2008
and December 31, 2007, respectively, as it was managements assessment that based on available
information, it is more likely than not that certain State net operating loss carry forwards
included in the Companys deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of June 30, 2008 and
December 31, 2007, our deferred tax assets net of the aforementioned valuation allowance were $64.3
million and $32.1 million, respectively. Management believes that the Company should be able to
realize the current net deferred tax assets in future years; however, if future events differ from
expectations, a substantial increase or decrease in the valuation allowance may be required to
reduce or increase the deferred tax assets. A change in the valuation allowance occurs if there is
a change in managements assessment of the amount of the net deferred tax assets that is expected
to be realized in the future.

Consolidated Results of Operations
Income (loss) from continuing operations from each of the Companys reportable segments was as

For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2008 Compared to the Same 2007 Period:
The substantial decrease in BankAtlantics earnings during the 2008 quarter primarily resulted
from a $37.8 million provision for loan losses and $6.0 million of restructuring and impairment
charges compared to a $4.9 million provision for loan losses and $1.1 million of impairment charges
during the 2007 quarter. The significantly higher provision for loan losses reflects $14.5
million in commercial loan charge-offs concentrated in commercial residential real estate loans and
a $14.8 million provision for loan losses relating to the consumer home equity loan portfolio. The
consumer loan allowance was significantly increased during the 2008 second quarter as a result of
the continued deterioration in the Florida residential real estate market and increased delinquency
trends in this portfolio. The above reduction in earnings was partially offset by lower
compensation and operating expenses reflecting managements efforts to reduce non-interest
expenses.
The lower Parent Company earnings resulted from a $9.4 million provision for loan losses
associated with the non-performing commercial loan portfolio held by the Parent Companys asset
workout subsidiary partially offset by improved net interest income and lower operating expenses.
Non-performing loans at the Parent Company were charged down by $8.2 million and the allowance for
loan losses was increased by $1.3 million as a result of reduced loan collateral values associated
with declining Florida real estate market values. The improvement in net interest income primarily
resulted from lower short-term interest rates during 2008 compared to 2007 as well as interest
income earned on the loans held by the asset workout subsidiary.

provision for loan losses was $80.7 million for the 2008 period compared to $12.4 million during
the 2007 period. The decline in the Parent Companys earnings reflects the $9.4 million provision
for loan losses discussed above and a decline in gains on securities activities of $7.6 million
during the 2008 period.

For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2008 Compared to the Same 2007 Period:
The decrease in tax equivalent net interest income primarily resulted from a decline in the
tax equivalent net interest margin, lower average interest earning assets, the competitive interest
rate environment and an increase in interest-bearing liabilities.
The decrease in the tax equivalent net interest margin primarily resulted from a significant
decline in non-interest bearing demand deposit balances partially offset by an improvement in the
tax equivalent net interest spread. The decline in demand deposit balances reflects the
competitive banking environment in Florida and the migration of demand deposit accounts to
interest-bearing NOW accounts. The increase in the tax equivalent net interest

(BankAtlantic Bancorp)
spread primarily
resulted from rates on interest-bearing liabilities adjusting to the decline in short-term interest
rates faster than our interest-earning asset yields. Since December 2006, the prime interest rate
has declined from 8.25% to 5.00%. The majority of our borrowings are short-term and adjust to
current market rates faster than a significant portion of our assets, which include residential
loans and mortgage-backed securities that only adjust periodically to current market rates.
Our average interest earning assets during the 2008 second quarter declined $120.8 million
from the comparable 2007 quarter while our average interest-bearing liabilities increased by $19.9
million. The decline in average interest earning assets was primarily due to lower average
commercial and residential loan balances. In response to the deteriorating real estate market, we
have slowed the origination of commercial residential real estate loans and the purchase of
residential loans. As a consequence, average balances in our residential and commercial real
estate loan portfolios declined from $3.6 billion during the three months ended June 30, 2007 to
$3.3 billion during the comparable 2008 period. These declines in loan balances were partially
offset by an increase in our consumer home equity loan and tax certificate average balances.
Average balances in our home equity loan portfolio increased from $557.9 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2007 to $688.9 during the same 2008 period due to both fundings on existing
lines of credit as well as originations. Average tax certificate balances increased from $180.3
million during the 2007 period to $226.8 for the 2008 period. The higher tax certificate balances
reflect the acquisition of $311 million of tax certificates during the six months ended June 2008
compared to $130 million during the comparable 2007 period. During the three months ended June
30, 2008, BankAtlantic acquired $225 million of Florida tax certificates compared to $29 million
during the same 2007 period. Interest-bearing liabilities increased in response to lower average
non-interest bearing deposits.

(1) | Net additions to non-accrual loans include loan repayments and loan sales. |
Non-accrual loans declined $100.7 million from December 2007. The decline was due primarily to
the transfer of $101.5 million of non-accrual loans to a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent
Company for $94.8 million of cash. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, BankAtlantic also
transferred twelve commercial residential real estate loans and two commercial non-residential real
estate loans aggregating $81.3 million to non-accrual.

The increase in residential non-accrual loans reflects the general deterioration in the
national economy and the residential real estate market as home prices throughout the country
continued to decline and it took longer than historical time-frames to sell homes. The weighted
average FICO score of our residential loan borrowers was 742 at the time of origination and the
weighted average loan-to-value of these residential loans at the time of origination was 68.9%.
The estimated weighted average loan-to-value of non-accrual residential loans at June 30, 2008 was
74.5%.
To date, we have not experienced significant charge-offs on residential real estate loans as
the underlying collateral values have exceeded the outstanding principal balances of the
non-accrual loans. However, if residential market conditions do not improve nationally, we may
experience higher residential loan delinquencies, non-accruals and charge-offs in future periods.
Consumer home equity loan charge-offs and delinquencies continued to increase during the six
months ended June 30, 2008. In response to these trends, we modified our consumer home equity loan
underwriting requirements for new loans and froze certain borrowers home equity loan commitments
where borrowers credit scores were significantly lower than such borrowers credit score at the
date of loan origination or where collateral values were substantially lower than the values at
loan origination. If home prices in Florida continue to fall or current economic conditions
continue to deteriorate, we anticipate that we will continue to experience higher credit losses in
our consumer home equity loan portfolio.
The increase in real estate owned primarily resulted from the foreclosure of a $1.9 million
commercial residential real estate loan and a net increase in residential loan foreclosures.
The increase in the allowance for loan losses primarily reflects a $7.6 million increase in
the allowance for consumer home equity loans and the establishment of $10.7 million of specific
reserves on commercial residential real estate loans partially offset by the transfer of $6.4
million of specific allowance for loan losses associated with the non-performing loans transferred
to a subsidiary of the Parent Company as well as charge-offs of commercial and consumer home equity
loans.
The increase in the allowance for tax certificate losses primarily reflects higher tax
certificate balances. During the six months ended June 30, 2008 BankAtlantic acquired $311 million
of tax certificates increasing tax certificate balances from $188.4 million at December 31, 2007 to
$416.0 million at June 30, 2008.
As of June 30, 2008, two loans were contractually past due 90 days or more and still accruing
interest. These loans are believed to be well collateralized and in the process of collection.

The substantial increase in the provision for loan losses during the three and six months
ended June 30, 2008 was primarily the result of commercial residential loan charge-offs and
unfavorable trends in our consumer home equity loan portfolio. In response to these unfavorable
consumer home equity loan trends we increased our allowance for home equity loans by $7.6 million
and $13.7 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. During the
first half of 2008, the Florida real estate market continued to deteriorate, the economy weakened,
Florida unemployment increased, foreclosures increased, the availability of credit declined, and
nonaccrual loan collateral values continued to decline. As a consequence, the following charge-offs
of commercial residential real estate loans were made based on updated collateral valuations:

In the second quarter of 2008, we experienced reduced charge-offs in our commercial
residential real estate loan portfolio compared to the first quarter of 2008 with the majority of
the 2008 current quarter write-downs ($13.8 million) associated with one builder land bank loan.
However, we also established $10.7 million of specific reserves during the three months ended June
30, 2008 on four commercial residential real estate loans based on updated loan collateral
valuations.
BankAtlantics outstanding balances in commercial residential real estate loans as of June 30,

The lower revenue from service charges on deposits during the 2008 periods compared to the
same 2007 periods was primarily due to lower overdraft fee income. This decline in overdraft
income primarily resulted from lower net assessment of overdraft fees and a more stringent
criteria for allowing customer overdrafts implemented in February 2008 in response to increasing
check losses. Also contributing to reduced fee income was a decline in new deposit account
openings. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, BankAtlantic opened over 41,000
and 103,000 new deposit accounts, respectively, compared to 60,000 and 140,000 during the same
2007 periods.
The lower other service charges and fees during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008
compared to the same 2007 periods was primarily due to higher debit card fraud losses during 2008
and a slight decline in customer debit card usage. We believe that the higher fraud losses and the
decline in card usage are likely the result of the slow down in the Florida economy.
Securities activities, net during the three months ended June 30, 2008 resulted from a $1.0
million gain on the sale of MasterCard International common stock acquired during MasterCards
2006 initial public offering as well as $0.9 million and $1.3 million, respectively, of gains
during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 from the writing of covered call options on
agency securities available for sale. Securities activities, net during the three and six months
ended June 30, 2007 included gains from the sales of agency securities and a $481,000 gain during
the 2007 first quarter from the sale of securities obtained from an initial public offering of
BankAtlantics health insurance carrier.
Income from unconsolidated subsidiaries for the three months ended June 30, 2008 reflects
equity earnings from an investment in a receivable factoring company. Unconsolidated
subsidiaries income during the six months ended June 30, 2008 includes $1.0 million of equity
earnings from a joint venture that was liquidated in January 2008. Income from unconsolidated
subsidiaries for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 primarily resulted from equity
earnings on joint ventures that invest in income producing properties.
Included in other income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 was $0.3 million
and $0.6 million, respectively, of higher brokerage commissions from the sale of investment
products to our deposit customers. BankAtlantic has hired additional financial consultants in
order to offer its customers alternative investments in the current interest rate environment.

The substantial decline in employee compensation and benefits during the three and six months
ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same 2007 periods resulted primarily from work force
reductions in March 2007 and April 2008 as well as a decline in personnel related to the
implementation in December 2007 of reduced store lobby and customer service hours. In March 2007
BankAtlantic reduced its work force by 225 associates, or 8%, and in April 2008 BankAtlantics
work force was reduced by 124 associates, or 6%. As a consequence of these
61
Table of Contents
Financial Services
(BankAtlantic Bancorp)
(BankAtlantic Bancorp)
work force reductions
and normal attrition, the number of full-time equivalent employees declined from 2,618 at December
31, 2006 to 1,902 at June 30, 2008, or 28%, while the store network expanded from 88 stores at
December 31, 2006 to 101 stores at June 30, 2008. Compensation expense during the 2008 periods
was further reduced from the 2007 periods when BankAtlantic changed its incentive and performance
plans for 2008 resulting in a $1.0 million and $4.5 million, respectively, reduction in incentive
compensation expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same 2007
periods.
The slight increase in occupancy and equipment for the three and six months ended June 30,
2008 primarily resulted from higher rental and depreciation expenses associated with the expansion
of BankAtlantics branch network during 2007. For the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared
to the same 2007 period rent and depreciation expense increased by $0.3 million and $0.5 million,
respectively. The increase in rent and depreciation expense for the six month period ended June
30, 2008 compared to the same period 2007 period was $0.8 million and $1.3 million, respectively.
The above increases in occupancy expenses were partially offset by lower guard services costs
associated with reduced store hours and the renewal of the guard service vendor contract on more
favorable terms. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same 2007
periods, guard service costs declined by $0.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively.
The reduced advertising expense primarily reflects lower promotional costs for branch grand
openings and a change in the marketing mix. During the six months ended June 30, 2007,
BankAtlantic opened 6 branches compared to 2 branches opened during the same 2008 period.
BankAtlantic experienced decreased check losses for the 2008 quarter primarily due to the
implementation in February 2008 of more stringent overdraft policies. The higher check losses
during the 2008 six month period primarily related to both the increased number of deposit
accounts and a weaker economic environment during the 2008 period compared to the same 2007
period.
BankAtlantic incurred higher professional fees during the three and six months ended June 30,
2008 compared to the same 2007 periods primarily resulting from increased litigation costs and
legal fees associated with commercial loan workouts and tax certificate litigation. We also
incurred increased consulting fees in connection with a review of our commercial loan portfolio.
The reduction in supplies and postage reflects overall expense reduction initiatives and
efforts to have our deposit customers accept electronic bank statements.
The lower telecommunication costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 primarily
resulted from switching to a new vendor on more favorable terms.
Management is continuing to explore opportunities to reduce operating expenses and increase
future operating efficiencies. During the three months ended June 30, 2008, BankAtlantic
terminated a lease in order to consolidate its back office facilities, reduced its work force by 6%
and completed the sale of five Central Florida stores. The above expense reduction initiatives
resulted in restructuring charges, impairments and exit activities for the 2008 quarter of $1.5
million associated with lease termination fixed asset impairments, $2.1 million of employee
termination benefits and a $0.5 million loss on the sale of five Central Florida stores. In
addition to the above charges, BankAtlantic incurred $1.9 million of impairments associated with
real estate held for sale that was originally acquired for store expansion.
Restructuring charges, impairments and exit activities during the three months ended June 30,
2007 reflects $1.1 million of impairments on a real estate development. Included in restructuring
charges during the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $2.6 million of severance costs associated
with the March 2007 workforce reduction.
The increase in other expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the
same 2007 period primarily resulted from a $0.8 million increase in the provision for tax
certificates losses reflecting higher balances after the acquisition of $224 million of Florida
tax certificates in June 2008 and $0.9 million of higher FDIC deposit insurance premiums. During
the first quarter of 2008, the credit held by BankAtlantic against its deposit premium assessments
relating back to the early 1990s was exhausted and BankAtlantic began paying the

full deposit premium during the second quarter of 2008. Other expenses during the three and six months ended
June 30, 2008 compared to the same 2007 periods reflects a decline in overall operating expenses
associated with the origination of consumer home equity loans and lower deposit volume.

Net interest expense decreased during the 2008 quarter compared to the same 2007 period as a
result of lower average interest rates in 2008 partially offset by higher average balances.
Average rates on junior subordinated debentures decreased from 8.33% during the three months ended
June 30, 2007 to 6.55% during the same 2008 period as a result of lower short-term interest rates
during the current quarter compared to the 2007 quarter. The Companys junior subordinated
debentures average balances were $294.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2008
compared to $263.3 million during the same 2007 period. The higher average balances reflect the
issuance of $30.9 million of debentures during the latter half of 2007. Also during the 2008
quarter, the Company recognized $0.1 million of interest income associated with a $2.4 million loan
transferred to accruing status.
Net interest expense was slightly lower during the 2008 six month period compared to the same
2007 period. Average rates on junior subordinated debentures decreased from 8.33% during the six
months ended June 30, 2007 to 7.24% during the same 2008 period and average balances on junior
subordinated debentures increased from $263.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007 to
$294.2 during the same 2008 period.
The decrease in non-interest income was a result of securities activities. During the three
and six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company realized a $3.7 million gain and $1.0 million loss
on the sale of Stifel common stock and recognized $4.5 million and $2.6 million of unrealized
gains, respectively, from the change in value of Stifel warrants. Stifel warrants are accounted
for as derivatives with unrealized gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair value of the
warrants recorded in securities activities, net. During the 2008 quarters, the Company also
recognized a $1.1 million other than temporary impairment on a private equity investment and during
the six months ended June 30, 2008 realized $1.3 million of gains from the sale of private
investment securities. The approximately $156.8 million of net proceeds from these securities
sales were primarily utilized to fund the $101.5 million transfer of non-performing loans from
BankAtlantic to a subsidiary of the Parent Company in March 2008 and to fund a contribution of $55
million of capital to BankAtlantic.
Non-interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 was a result of
unrealized gains of $6.1 million and $4.6 million, respectively, associated with the change in
value of Stifel warrants. Also included in non-interest income during the three and six months
ended June 30, 2007 was $2.5 million and $5.0 million, respectively, of gains on securities
activities in managed fund investments. The managed funds were liquidated during the first quarter
of 2008 for a $0.1 million gain.
The decrease in non-interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the
same 2007 period primarily resulted from higher incentive compensation in 2007 compared to 2008.
These decreased expenses were partially offset by BankAtlantic loan servicing fees of $43,000
related to the loans held by the asset workout subsidiary. The increase in non-interest expenses
for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same 2007 period reflects increased legal
fees associated with a securities class-action lawsuit filed against the Company.

To provide greater flexibility in holding and managing non-performing loans and to improve
BankAtlantics financial condition, the Parent Company formed a new asset workout subsidiary which
acquired non-performing commercial and commercial residential real estate loans from BankAtlantic
for $94.8 million in cash on March 31, 2008. BankAtlantic transferred $101.5 million of
non-performing loans to the Parent Companys subsidiary at the loans carrying value inclusive of
$6.4 million in specific allowances for loan losses and $0.3 million of escrow balances. A
subsidiary of the Parent Company has entered into a servicing arrangement with BankAtlantic with
respect to these loans; however, consideration is being given to alternatives which may include a
possible joint venture or sale of its interests in the subsidiary in the future. There is no
assurance that any such transactions will occur.
The composition of non-performing loans acquired from BankAtlantic as of March 31, 2008 was as

The provision for loan losses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 resulted
from $8.2 million of charge-offs on non-performing loans and higher specific reserves of $1.3
million. These additional impairments were associated with nonperforming commercial residential
real estate loans, and were due to updated loan collateral fair value estimates reflecting the
continued deterioration in the Florida residential real estate markets. As previously stated, if
market conditions do not improve in the Florida real estate markets, additional provisions for loan
losses and charge-offs may be required in subsequent periods.
Additionally, during the three months ended June 30, 2008, a $2.4 million loan held by the
asset work-out subsidiary was changed to an accruing status and the Company received $1.1 million
of loan repayments.

BankAtlantic Bancorp Consolidated Financial Condition
Total assets at June 30, 2008 were $6.5 billion compared to $6.4 billion at December 31,
2007. The significant changes in components of total assets from December 31, 2007 to June 30,
2008 are summarized below:
| Increase in cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to $144 million of higher federal funds sold and $29 million cash letter balances associated with daily cash management activities; | ||
| Decrease in securities available for sale reflecting the sale of Stifel common stock and the liquidation of managed fund equity investments held by the Parent Company; | ||
| Decrease in investment securities at cost resulting from the sale of Stifel common stock and certain private equity investments; | ||
| Increase in tax certificate balances primarily due to the acquisition of $225 million of tax certificates in Florida during the 2008 second quarter; | ||
| Higher investment in FHLB stock related to increases in FHLB borrowings; | ||
| Decrease in loan receivable balances associated with lower purchased residential loan balances, significant charge-offs of commercial loans partially offset by higher home equity loan balances; | ||
| Lower real estate held for development and sale balances associated with the sale of inventory of homes at a real estate development. | ||
| Decrease in assets held for sale due to property sales and $1.4 million of impairments recognized during the 2008 second quarter. | ||
| Decrease in office properties and equipment due to the completion of the sale of the Central Florida stores to an unrelated financial institution during the 2008 second quarter; and | ||
| Increase in deferred tax assets primarily resulting from the operating losses during the six months ended June 30, 2008 and lower securities available for sale unrealized gains. |
The Companys total liabilities at June 30, 2008 were $6.1 billion compared to $5.9 billion
at December 31, 2007. The significant changes in components of total liabilities from December
31, 2007 to June 30, 2008 are summarized below:
| Higher non-interest-bearing deposit balances primarily due to an increase in accounts and higher average customer balances in checking accounts; | ||
| Lower interest-bearing deposit balances primarily associated with lower high yield savings and certificate account balances primarily due to the competitive environment in our markets; | ||
| Increase in FHLB borrowings in order to maintain higher cash balances associated with daily cash management activities and; and | ||
| Decrease in other liabilities primarily resulting from $18.9 million of securities purchased in December 2007 pending settlement in January 2008. |
Liquidity and Capital Resources
BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Parent Company sold its holdings of Stifel
common stock, liquidated its managed fund equity securities and sold private investment securities
for aggregate net proceeds of $156.8 million. The Parent Company transferred $94.8 million of the
cash proceeds from the sale of its securities to BankAtlantic in exchange for the transfer by
BankAtlantic of non-performing commercial loans to a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent Company.
The Company may consider, among other alternatives, selling interests in the subsidiary to
investors in the future. The Parent Company also used a portion of the proceeds from its
securities sales to contribute $55 million to BankAtlantic which had the result of improving
BankAtlantics capital base. At June 30, 2008, BankAtlantics capital ratios exceeded all
regulatory well capitalized requirements.
In April 2008, the Company filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange
Commission registering to offer, from time to time, up to $100 million of Class A Common Stock,
Preferred Stock, subscription

(BankAtlantic Bancorp)
rights or debt securities. A description of the securities offered
and the expected use of the net proceeds from any sales will be outlined in prospectus supplements
when offered.
On July 29, 2008, BankAtlantic Bancorp announced that it intended to pursue a rights offering to
its shareholders of 50 million shares of its Class A Common Stock. As we noted at the time of the
announcement, BankAtlantics internal capital projections indicate continued well capitalized
ratios without raising additional capital even if necessary to absorb additional charge- offs. We
also announced that we were considering effecting a one-for-five reverse stock split.
On August 11, 2008, it was decided to defer the decision as to whether to proceed with an offering
until after the reverse stock split is effected. In connection with whether to
pursue an offering, we will again review our capital forecasts and market conditions. An
announcement will be made regarding the terms, updated rights offering price and record date if a
determination is made to move forward with the offering. We anticipate that the contemplated
reverse stock split will be effected during the third quarter.
Even if we raise capital in the near term, we may need to incur additional debt or equity
financing in the future for operations, to maintain our capital position, and for growth or
investment or strategic acquisitions. There is no assurance that any such financing will be
available to us on favorable terms or at all.
The Companys principal source of liquidity is dividends from BankAtlantic. 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 to shareholders, purchase
non-performing assets from BankAtlantic, pay debt service, repay borrowings, purchase equity
securities, repurchase Class A common stock and fund operations. The Companys annual debt service
associated with its junior subordinated debentures is approximately $18.4 million. The Company has
the right, at any time, to defer payments of interest on the junior subordinated debentures for a
period not to exceed 20 consecutive quarters. The Companys estimated current annual dividends to
common shareholders are approximately $1.1 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, 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, and the ability of
BankAtlantic to pay dividends to the Company. The ability of BankAtlantic to pay dividends or make
other distributions to the Company is subject to regulations and Office of Thrift Supervision
(OTS) approval and is based upon BankAtlantics regulatory capital levels and net income.
Because BankAtlantic had an accumulated deficit for 2006 and 2007, BankAtlantic is required to
obtain OTS approval prior to the payment of dividends to the Company. While the OTS has approved
dividends to date, the OTS would likely not approve any distribution that would cause BankAtlantic
to fail to meet its capital requirements or if the OTS believes that a capital distribution by
BankAtlantic constitutes an unsafe or unsound action or practice; there is no assurance that the
OTS will approve future capital distributions from BankAtlantic.

The Company has the following cash and investments that provide a source for potential
liquidity based on values at June 30, 2008; however, there is no assurance that these investments
will maintain such value or that we would receive proceeds equal to estimated fair value upon the
liquidation of these investments (see Note 2 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements -
Unaudited for a discussion of fair value measurements).

The above table includes warrants to acquire approximately 722,586 shares of Stifel common
stock at $24.00 per share. At June 30, 2008, Stifel common stock was trading at $34.39 per share.
The $92.8 million of loans held by a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company may also provide a
potential source of liquidity through workouts, repayments of the loans, sales of interests in the
subsidiary or other alternatives.
The sale of Ryan Beck to Stifel closed on February 28, 2007 and the sales agreement provides
for contingent earn-out payments, payable in cash or shares of Stifel common stock, at Stifels
election, based on (a) defined Ryan Beck private client revenues during the two-year period
immediately following the closing up to a maximum of $40,000,000 and (b) defined Ryan Beck
investment banking revenues equal to 25% of the amount that such revenues exceed $25,000,000 during
each of the two twelve-month periods immediately following the closing. The Company received $1.7
million in earn-out payments paid in 55,016 shares of Stifel common stock for the first year of the
investment banking contingent earn-out. The remaining potential contingent earn-out payments, if
any, will be accounted for when earned as additional proceeds from the exchange of Ryan Beck common
stock. There is no assurance that we will receive any additional earn-out payments.
BankAtlantic Liquidity and Capital Resources
BankAtlantics liquidity will depend on its ability to generate sufficient cash to support
loan demand, to meet deposit withdrawals, and to pay operating expenses. BankAtlantics
securities portfolio provides an internal source of liquidity through its short-term investments
as well as scheduled maturities and interest payments. Loan repayments and loan sales also provide
an internal source of liquidity.
BankAtlantics liquidity may be affected by unforeseen demands on cash. Our objective in
managing liquidity is to maintain sufficient resources of available liquid assets to address our
funding needs. Sources of credit in the capital markets have tightened, demand for mortgage loans
in the secondary market has decreased, securities and debt ratings have been downgraded and a
number of institutions have defaulted on their debt. These market disruptions have made it more
difficult for financial institutions to obtain borrowings. In addition, in April 2008, the FHLB of
Atlanta notified its member financial institutions that it will increase the discount it applies to
residential first mortgage collateral, thereby decreasing the total amount that BankAtlantic and
others may borrow from the FHLB. We cannot predict with any degree of certainty how long these
market conditions may continue, nor can we anticipate the degree that such market conditions may
impact our operations. Deterioration in the performance of other financial institutions, including
charge-offs of loans, impairments of securities, debt-rating downgrades and defaults may continue
and may adversely impact liquidity. There is no assurance that further deterioration in the
financial markets will not result in additional market-wide liquidity problems, and affect our
liquidity position.
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 $1.7 billion as of June 30, 2008. The line of credit is secured by a blanket lien
on BankAtlantics residential mortgage loans and certain commercial real estate and consumer home
equity loans. BankAtlantic has established lines of credit for up

to $65 million with other banks
to purchase federal funds of which $25 million was outstanding as of June 30, 2008. BankAtlantic
has also established a $7.7 million line of credit with the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta.
BankAtlantic is also a participating institution in the Federal Reserve Treasury Investment
Program for up to $50 million in fundings and at June 30, 2008 BankAtlantic had $50.0 million of
short-term borrowings outstanding under this program. BankAtlantic also has various relationships
to acquire brokered deposits, which may be utilized as an alternative source of liquidity. At June
30, 2008, BankAtlantic had $43.4 million of brokered deposits.
BankAtlantics commitments to originate and purchase loans at June 30, 2008 were $84.4
million and $6.6 million, respectively, compared to $333 million and $123 million, respectively,
at June 30, 2007. At June 30, 2008, total loan commitments represented approximately 2.09% of
net loans receivable.
At June 30, 2008, BankAtlantic had investments and mortgage-backed securities of
approximately $57.2 million pledged to secure securities sold under agreements to repurchase,
$152.3 million pledged to secure public deposits and $51.2 million pledged to secure treasury tax
and loan accounts.
At June 30, 2008, BankAtlantic exceeded all applicable liquidity and well capitalized
regulatory capital requirements.

Executive Overview
We continue to focus on managing our real estate holdings during this challenging period for
the real estate industry and on our efforts to bring costs in line with our strategic objectives.
We have taken steps to align our staffing levels with these objectives. We intend to pursue
opportunistic acquisitions and investments in diverse industries, using a combination of our cash
and third party equity and debt financing. Our business strategy may result in acquisitions and
investments both within or outside of the real estate industry. We also intend to explore a
variety of funding structures which might leverage and capitalize on our available cash and other
assets currently owned by us. We may acquire entire businesses or majority or minority,
non-controlling interests in companies. Under this business model, we may not generate a constant
earnings stream and the composition of our revenues may vary widely due to factors inherent in a
particular investment, including the maturity of the business, market conditions and cyclicality.
Net investment gains and other income that may occur are to be driven by our strategic initiatives
as well as overall market conditions.

Our operations have historically been concentrated in the real estate industry which is
cyclical in nature, and our largest subsidiary is Core Communities, a developer of master-planned
communities, which sells land to residential builders as well as to commercial developers, and
internally develops and leases commercial real estate. In addition, our Other Operations segment
consists of an investment in Bluegreen, a NYSE-listed company in which we own approximately 31% of
its outstanding common stock and equity investments, currently primarily in Office Depot, a NYSE
list company in which we own less than 1% of its outstanding common stock. Bluegreen 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. Our Other
Operations segment also includes limited homebuilding activities in Tradition Hilton Head through
our subsidiary, Carolina Oak, which is developing a community known as Magnolia Walk. The results
of operations and financial condition of Carolina Oak as of and for the three and six month periods
ended June 30, 2008 are included in the Other Operations segment.
We are also exploring strategic initiatives that have the potential of enhancing liquidity
and shareholders equity. These initiatives include the consideration of alternatives to monetize
a portion of our interests in Core assets, including through possible joint ventures or other strategic
relationships.
Financial and Non-Financial Metrics
We evaluate our performance and prospects using a variety of financial and non-financial
metrics. The key financial metrics utilized to evaluate historical operating performance included
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), loss from continuing operations, net loss and return on
equity. We also continue to evaluate and monitor selling, general and administrative expenses as
a percentage of revenue. In evaluating our future prospects, management considers non-financial
information, such as acres in backlog (which we measure as 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
development 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 metrics is discussed in the following sections as it relates to our
operating results, financial position and liquidity. These metrics are not an exhaustive list, and
management may from time to time utilize different financial and non-financial information or may
not use all of the metrics mentioned above.
Land Division Overview
Our Land Division entered 2008 with two active projects, Tradition, Florida and Tradition
Hilton Head. We are continuing our development and sales activities in both of these projects.
Tradition, Florida encompasses approximately 8,200 total acres. Core has sold approximately 1,800
acres to date and has approximately 3,900 net saleable acres remaining in inventory with 293 acres
subject to sales contracts with various purchasers as of June 30, 2008. Tradition Hilton Head
encompasses approximately 5,400 total acres, of which 165 acres have been sold to date.
Approximately 2,800 net saleable acres are remaining at Tradition Hilton Head, with 33 acres
subject to sales contracts with various purchasers as of June 30, 2008. Acres sold to date in
Tradition Hilton Head include the intercompany sale of 150 acres owned and being developed by
Carolina Oak.
The Land Division plans to continue to expand its commercial operations through sales to
developers and the internal development of certain projects for leasing to third parties. The Land
Division is currently pursuing the sale of two of its commercial leasing projects. While the
commercial real estate market has not to date been as negatively impacted as the residential real
estate market, interest in commercial property is weakening, and financing is not as readily
available in the current market, which may adversely impact both our ability to complete sales and
the profitability of any sales. Core continues to actively market these two commercial projects
which are available for immediate sale in their present condition. While management believes these
projects will be sold by June 2009, there is no assurance that these sales will be completed in the
timeframe expected by management or at all.

In addition, the overall slowdown in the homebuilding market continues to have a negative
effect on demand for residential land in our Land Division which was partially mitigated by
increased commercial leasing revenue. While traffic at the Tradition, Florida information center
slowed from prior years reflecting the overall slowdown in the Florida homebuilding market, it has
improved since the fourth quarter of 2007. As a result of our continued Hilton Head expansion, as
well as our continued expansion into the commercial leasing business, we incurred higher general
and administrative expenses in the Land Division in the first six months of 2008.
Other Operations Overview
Bluegreen, a New York Stock Exchange-listed company in which we own approximately 9.5 million
shares of common stock, representing 31% of the outstanding common stock, is engaged in the
acquisition, development, marketing and sale of vacation ownership interests in primarily
drive-to vacation resorts, and the development and sale of golf communities and residential land.
On July 21, 2008, Bluegreen announced that it had entered into a non-binding letter of intent for
the sale of 100% of Bluegreens outstanding common stock for $15 per share. The letter of intent
provides for a due diligence and exclusivity period through September 15, 2008. There can be no
assurance that the transaction will be consummated on the proposed terms, if at all.
During March 2008, the Company, together with Woodbridge Equity Fund LLLP, a newly formed
limited liability limited partnership wholly-owned by the Company, purchased 3,000,200 shares of
Office Depot common stock, which represented approximately one percent of Office Depots
outstanding stock. These Office Depot shares were acquired at a cost of approximately $34.0
million. During June 2008, the Company sold 1,565,200 shares of Office Depot common stock for
approximately $18.9 million. As of June 30, 2008, the Company owned 1,435,000 shares of Office
Depot common stock with a fair market value at that date of $15.7 million. On August 4, 2008, the
closing price of Office Depot common stock on the New York Stock Exchange was $6.60.
In 2007, Woodbridge acquired from Levitt and Sons all of the outstanding membership interests
in Carolina Oak, a South Carolina limited liability company (formerly known as Levitt and Sons of
Jasper County, LLC), for the following consideration: (i) assumption of the outstanding principal
balance of a loan in the amount of $34.1 million which is collateralized by a 150 acre parcel of
land owned by Carolina Oak located in Tradition Hilton Head, (ii) execution of a promissory note in
the amount of $400,000 to serve as a deposit under a purchase agreement between Carolina Oak and
Core Communities of South Carolina, LLC and (iii) the assumption of specified payables in the
amount of approximately $5.3 million. The principal asset of Carolina Oak is a 150 acre parcel of
partially developed land currently under development and located in Tradition Hilton Head. As of
June 30, 2008, Carolina Oak had 13 units under construction with 8 units in backlog.
Carolina Oak has an additional 90 lots that are available for home construction. Based on the
success of sales of existing units, we will make a determination as to whether to continue to build
the remainder of the community, which is planned to consist of approximately 403 additional units.
In 2007, our Other Operations segment also consisted of Levitt Commercial, LLC (Levitt
Commercial), which specialized in the development of industrial properties. Levitt Commercial
ceased development activities in 2007.
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. 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 revenue and cost recognition on percent complete
projects, reserves and accruals, impairment reserves of assets, valuation of real estate, estimated
costs to complete construction, reserves for litigation and contingencies and deferred tax
valuation allowances. 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 equity method; (c) homesite contracts and
consolidation of variable interest entities; (d) revenue recognition; (e) capitalized interest; (f)
income taxes; (g) impairment of long-lived assets; and (h) accounting for stock-based compensation.
For a more detailed discussion of these critical accounting policies see Critical Accounting
Policies and Estimates appearing in the Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2007.
Investments in Unconsolidated Subsidiaries Cost Method
The Companys management determines the appropriate classifications of investments in equity
securities at the acquisition date and re-evaluates the classifications at each balance sheet
date. The Company follows either the equity or cost method of accounting to record its interests
in entities in which it does not own the majority of the voting stock and to record its investment
in variable interest entities in which it is not the primary beneficiary. Typically, the cost
method should be used if the investor owns less than 20% of the investees stock and the equity
method should be used if the investor owns more than 20% of the investees stock. However, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has concluded that the percentage ownership of stock
is not the sole determinant in applying the equity or the cost method, but the significant factor
is whether the investor has the ability to significantly influence the operating and financial
policies of the investee. The Company uses the cost method for investments where the Company owns
less than a 20% interest and does not have the ability to significantly influence the operating and
financial policies of the investee in accordance with relative accounting guidance.

For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2008 Compared to the Same 2007 Period:
Consolidated net loss decreased by $49.1 million, or 84.6%, to $8.9 million in the three
months ended June 30, 2008 from $58.1 million in the same period in 2007. The decrease in net loss
primarily reflected the fact that no impairment charges were recorded during the three months ended
June 30, 2008, whereas $63.0 million of

impairment charges were recorded at Levitt and Sons during
the same period in 2007. Levitt and Sons incurred a net loss of $53.0 million in the three months
ended June 30, 2007. As previously disclosed, Woodbridge deconsolidated Levitt and Sons from its
statements of financial condition and results of operations as of November 9, 2007. Excluding the
results of Levitt and Sons, the net loss increased by $3.9 million, or 76.2%, mainly due to higher
selling, general and administrative expenses, higher interest expense and decreased benefit for
income taxes in the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007.
Our revenues from sales of real estate decreased by $123.0 million, or 98.1%, to $2.4 million
for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 from $125.4 million for the same 2007 period. This decrease
was primarily attributable to the deconsolidation of Levitt and Sons at November 9, 2007. Revenues
from sales of real estate for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 in the Land Division
were $1.7 million and $1.9 million, respectively. In Other Operations, revenues from sales of real
estate for the three months ended June 30, 2008 were $635,000 as a result of the delivery of 2
units in Carolina Oak. There were no comparable sales in Other Operations in the three months ended
June 30, 2007.
Other revenues decreased by $892,000, or 52.4%, to $810,000 for the three months ended June
30, 2008 from $1.7 million for the same period in 2007. Other revenues decreased as title and
mortgage operations revenues associated with Levitt and Sons were not included in the consolidated
results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2008. In addition, there was decreased
marketing income associated with Tradition, Florida.
Cost of sales excluding Levitt and Sons increased to $1.8 million during the three months
ended June 30, 2008, as compared to $588,000 in the same 2007 period as we sold 8 lots in the Land
Division and delivered 2 homes in Carolina Oak during the quarter ended June 30, 2008 period as
compared to 3 lots sold in the Land Division and no homes delivered in Carolina Oak during the 2007
period.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $20.6 million, or 62.3%, to $12.4
million during the three months ended June 30, 2008 from $33.0 million during the same period in
2007 primarily as a result of the deconsolidation of Levitt and Sons at November 9, 2007. Selling,
general and administrative expenses attributable to Levitt and Sons for the three months ended June
30, 2007 were $22.7 million. Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses, excluding
those attributable to Levitt and Sons, increased by $2.1 million, or 20.0%, to $12.4 million for
the three months ended June 30, 2008 from $10.4 million in the same 2007 period. The increase was
due to higher professional fees associated with our interest and position taken in connection with
our investment in equity securities as well as higher expenses in the Land Division related to the
support of the community and commercial associations in our master-planned communities and
increased other administrative expenses associated with marketing and development activities in
South Carolina. Additionally, we incurred severance expenses related to the reductions in force
associated with the Chapter 11 Cases and higher insurance costs due to the absorption of certain of
Levitt and Sons insurance costs. The above increases were offset in part by decreased employee
compensation, benefits and incentives expense.
Interest expense is interest incurred minus interest capitalized. Interest incurred totaled
$4.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and $12.9 million for the same period in
2007. While all interest was capitalized during the 2007 period, only $2.5 million was capitalized
in the three months ended June 30, 2008. This resulted in interest expense of $2.1 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2008, compared to no interest expense in the same period in 2007. The
increase in interest expense was due to the completion of certain phases of development associated
with our real estate inventory which resulted in a decreased amount of qualified assets for
interest capitalization. Interest incurred was lower due to decreases in the average interest rates
on our debt and lower outstanding balances of notes and mortgage notes payable primarily due to the
deconsolidation of Levitt and Sons at November 9, 2007. At the time of land or home sales, the
capitalized interest allocated to inventory is charged to cost of sales. Cost of sales of real
estate for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 included previously capitalized interest
of approximately $44,000 and $5.6 million, respectively.
Other expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2007 were $413,000 and consisted solely of
mortgage operations expenses associated with Levitt and Sons. These expenses were not incurred in
the three months ended June 30, 2008.

Bluegreen reported net income for the three months ended June 30, 2008 of $3.4 million, as
compared to $4.1 million for the same period in 2007. Our interest in Bluegreens earnings was
$1.2 million for the second quarter of 2008 compared to $1.4 million for the same period in 2007.
The 9.5 million shares of Bluegreen that we own represented approximately 31% of the outstanding
shares of Bluegreen at each of June 30, 2008 and 2007.
Interest and other income decreased by $1.3 million, or 40.9%, to $1.9 million during the
three months ended June 30, 2008 from $3.3 million during the same period in 2007. This change was
primarily related to a decrease in forfeited deposits of $2.5 million due to the deconsolidation of
Levitt and Sons at November 9, 2007. This decrease was partially offset by a $1.2 million gain on
sale of equity securities in the three months ended June 30, 2008 and an increase in interest
income based on higher cash balances at the Parent Company in the three months ended June 30, 2008
reflecting the proceeds from the October 2007 rights offering.
The provision for income taxes is estimated to result in an effective tax rate of 0.0% in
2008. The effective tax rate used for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was 20.6%. The decrease
in the effective tax rate is a result of recording a valuation allowance for those deferred tax
assets that are not expected to be recovered in the future. Due to large taxable losses in 2007 and
expected taxable losses in the foreseeable future, at this time, we do not believe that we will
have sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character in the future and prior carryback years
to realize any portion of the net deferred tax asset.
The income from discontinued operations, which relates to two commercial leasing projects at
Core Communities, increased to $1.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2008 from $108,000
in the same period in 2007. The increase is due to increased commercial lease activity as a result
of the Landing at Tradition retail power center opening in late 2007.
For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2008 Compared to the Same 2007 Period:
Consolidated net loss decreased by $37.7 million, or 66.1%, to $19.4 million in the six months
ended June 30, 2008 from $57.1 million in the same period in 2007. The decrease in net loss
primarily reflected the fact that no impairment charges were recorded during the six months ended
June 30, 2008, whereas $63.3 million of impairment charges were recorded at Levitt and Sons during
the same period in 2007. Levitt and Sons incurred a net loss of $48.1 million in the six months
ended June 30, 2007. Excluding the results of Levitt and Sons, the net loss increased by $10.3
million, or 113.9%, mainly due to higher selling, general and administrative expenses, higher interest
expense and decreased benefit for income taxes in the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to
the same period in 2007. Additionally, Bluegreen experienced lower net earnings in the six months
ended June 30, 2008 in comparison to the same period in 2007.
Our revenues from sales of real estate decreased by $264.1 million, or 99.0%, to $2.5 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from $266.7 million for the same 2007 period. This decrease
was primarily attributable to the deconsolidation of Levitt and Sons at November 9, 2007. Revenues
from sales of real estate for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 in the Land Division were
$1.9 million and $2.7 million, respectively. Sales of real estate in Other Operations for the six
months ended June 30, 2008 were $635,000 as a result of the delivery of 2 units in Carolina Oak and
for the same period of 2007 were $6.6 million relating to Levitt Commercials delivery of its
remaining inventory of 17 warehouse units.
Other revenues decreased by $2.1 million, or 56.9%, to $1.6 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2008 from $3.6 million for the same period in 2007. Other revenues decreased as title and
mortgage operations revenues associated with Levitt and Sons were not included in the consolidated
results for the six months ended June 30, 2008. In addition, there was decreased marketing income
associated with Tradition, Florida.
Cost of sales excluding Levitt and Sons decreased to $1.8 million during the six months ended
June 30, 2008, as compared to $5.9 million in the same 2007 period as we sold 9 lots in the Land
Division and delivered 2 homes in Carolina Oak in the six months ended June 30, 2008, as compared
to 3 lots sold in the Land Division and 17 warehouse units delivered in Levitt Commercial in the
same 2007 period. There were no home deliveries in Carolina Oak in the 2007 period.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $40.8 million, or 62.5%, to $24.5
million during the six months ended June 30, 2008 from $65.3 million during the same period in 2007
primarily as a result of the deconsolidation of Levitt and Sons at November 9, 2007. Selling,
general and administrative expenses attributable to Levitt and Sons for the six months ended June
30, 2007 were $43.0 million. Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses, excluding
those attributable to Levitt and Sons, increased by $2.1 million, or 9.6%, to $24.5 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2008 from $22.4 million in the same 2007 period. The increase was due to
higher professional fees associated with our interest and position taken in connection with our
investments in equity securities as well as higher expenses in the Land Division related to the
support of community and commercial associations in our master-planned communities and increased
other administrative expenses associated with marketing and development activities in South
Carolina. Additionally, we incurred severance expenses related to the reductions in force
associated with the Chapter 11 Cases and higher insurance costs due to the absorption of certain of
Levitt and Sons insurance costs. The above increases were offset in part by decreased employee
compensation, benefits and incentives expense.
Interest incurred totaled $9.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and $25.2
million for the same period in 2007. While all interest was capitalized during the 2007 period,
only $4.8 million was capitalized in the six months ended June 30, 2008. This resulted in interest
expense of $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to no interest expense in
the same period in 2007. The increase in interest expense was due to the completion of certain
phases of development associated with our real estate inventory which resulted in a decreased
amount of qualified assets for interest capitalization. Interest incurred was lower due to
decreases in the average interest rates on our debt and lower outstanding balances of notes and
mortgage notes payable primarily due to the deconsolidation of Levitt and Sons at November 9, 2007.
At the time of land or home sales, the capitalized interest allocated to inventory is charged to
cost of sales. Cost of sales of real estate for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007
included previously capitalized interest of approximately $44,000 and $10.0 million, respectively.
Other expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2007 were $895,000 and consisted solely of
mortgage operations expenses associated with Levitt and Sons. These expenses were not incurred in
the six months ended June 30, 2008.
Bluegreen reported net income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 of $4.8 million, as
compared to $9.4 million for the same period in 2007. Our interest in Bluegreens earnings was
$1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to $3.1 million for the same period in
2007. The 9.5 million shares of Bluegreen that we own represented approximately 31% of the
outstanding shares of Bluegreen at each of June 30, 2008 and 2007.
Interest and other income decreased by $2.1 million, or 37.1%, to $3.5 million during the six
months ended June 30, 2008 from $5.6 million during the same period in 2007. This change was
primarily related to a decrease in forfeited deposits of $3.9 million due to the deconsolidation of
Levitt and Sons at November 9, 2007. This decrease was partially offset by a $1.2 million gain on
sale of equity securities in the six months ended June 30, 2008 and an increase in interest income
based on higher cash balances at the Parent Company in the six months ended June 30, 2008
reflecting the proceeds from the October 2007 rights offering.
The provision for income taxes is estimated to result in an effective tax rate of 0.0% in
2008. The effective tax rate used for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was 20.2%. The decrease in
the effective tax rate is a result of recording a valuation allowance for those deferred tax assets
that are not expected to be recovered in the future. Due to large taxable losses in 2007 and
expected taxable losses in the foreseeable future, at this time, we do not believe that we will
have sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character in the future and prior carryback years
to realize any portion of the net deferred tax asset.
The income from discontinued operations, which relates to two commercial leasing projects at
Core Communities, increased to $2.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008 from $105,000 in the same
period in 2007. The increase is due to increased commercial lease activity as a result of the
Landing at Tradition retail power center opening in late 2007.

Due to the nature and size of individual land transactions, our Land Division results are
subject to significant volatility. Although we have historically realized margins of between 40.0%
and 60.0% on Land Division sales, margins on land sales are likely to be below that level given the
downturn in the real estate markets and the significant decrease in demand. Margins will fluctuate
based upon changing sales prices and costs attributable to the land sold. In addition to the
impact of economic and market factors, the sales price and margin of land sold varies depending
upon: the parcels location and 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
designated 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, the amount
of land development, and interest and property tax costs capitalized during active development.
Allocations to cost of sales involve significant management judgment and include 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 based on factors which are in many instances beyond managements control. Future margins
will continue to vary based on these and other market factors. If the real estate markets
deteriorate further, there is no

assurance that we will be able to sell land at prices above our carrying cost or even in
amounts necessary to repay our indebtedness.
The value of acres subject to third party sales contracts increased from $29.0 million at June
30, 2007 to $96.2 million at June 30, 2008. This backlog consists of executed contracts and may,
to a limited extent, provide an indication of potential future sales activity and value per acre.
However, the backlog is not an exclusive indicator of future sales activity. Some sales involve
contracts executed and closed in the same quarter and therefore will not appear in the backlog. In
addition, executed contracts in the backlog are subject to cancellation.
For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2008 Compared to the Same 2007 Period:
Revenues from sales of real estate decreased to $1.7 million during the three months ended
June 30, 2008, compared to $1.9 million during the same period in 2007. We sold 8 lots in the
three months ended June 30, 2008, recognizing $825,000 in revenue, net of deferred revenue,
compared to 3 lot sales in Tradition Hilton Head generating $428,000 in revenue in the same period
in 2007. Revenues from sales of real estate for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 also
included look back provisions of $18,000 and $788,000, respectively, as well as recognition of
deferred revenue totaling $758,000 and $701,000, respectively. Look back revenue relates to
incremental revenue received from homebuilders and is based on the final sales price to the
homebuilders customer. Inter-segment revenue of $206,000 was eliminated in consolidation during
the three months ended June 30, 2007. There was no inter-segment revenue in the same 2008 period.
Other revenues decreased by $307,000, or 35.5%, to $559,000 for the three months ended June
30, 2008, as compared to $866,000 during the same quarter in 2007. This decrease was due primarily
to decreased marketing income associated with Tradition, Florida.
Cost of sales increased to $1.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2008, as
compared to $483,000 for the same 2007 period. Cost of sales for the three months ended June 30,
2008 represents the costs associated with the sale of 8 lots in Tradition Hilton Head as compared
to costs associated with the 3 lots sold in Tradition Hilton Head in the same period in 2007.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $1.3 million, or 37.5%, to $4.8
million during the three months ended June 30, 2008 from $3.5 million for the same period in 2007
primarily due to higher other administrative expenses associated with increased marketing and
development activities in Tradition Hilton Head and higher compensation and benefits expense due to
increased headcount. Additionally, there were increased expenses associated with our support of
the community and commercial associations in our master-planned communities, increased fees for
professional services and higher property tax expense due to less acreage in active development in
the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007.
Interest incurred for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $2.0 million and $2.6
million, respectively, while interest capitalized for the same periods in 2008 and 2007 totaled
$1.5 million and $1.8 million, respectively. This resulted in interest expense of $485,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 2008, compared to $807,000 in the same 2007 period. The interest
expense in the three months ended June 30, 2008 of approximately $485,000 was partially associated
with funds borrowed by Core but then loaned to the Parent Company. This intercompany interest
amounted to $443,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 and was eliminated on a consolidated
basis. The remaining portion of interest expense was due to the completion of certain phases of
development of our real estate inventory which resulted in a decreased amount of qualified assets
for interest capitalization. The interest expense in the three months ended June 30, 2007 of
approximately $807,000 was attributable to funds borrowed by Core but then loaned to the Parent
Company. The capitalization of this interest occurred at the Parent Company level and all
intercompany interest expense and income was eliminated on a consolidated basis. Interest incurred
was lower due to decreases in the average interest rates on our notes and mortgage notes payable.
Cost of sales of real estate for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007 included an
insignificant amount of previously capitalized interest.
Interest and other income decreased to $657,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2008 from
$1.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2007. The decrease is primarily related to
decreased interest income due to lower
average interest rates and lower intercompany interest which was eliminated in consolidation.

The income from discontinued operations, which relates to the income generated by two of
Cores commercial leasing projects which were held for sale as of June 30, 2008, increased to $1.0
million in the three months ended June 30, 2008 from $108,000 in the same period of 2007. The
increase is due to increased commercial lease activity as a result of the Landing at Tradition
retail power center opening in late 2007.
For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2008 Compared to the Same 2007 Period:
Revenues from sales of real estate decreased to $1.9 million during the six months ended June
30, 2008, compared to $2.7 million during the same period in 2007. This decrease was primarily the
result of higher look back provisions revenue and recognition of deferred revenue during the 2007
period, partially offset by higher revenues from lot sales in the 2008 period. We sold 9 lots in
Tradition Hilton Head in the six months ended June 30, 2008, recognizing $898,000 in revenue, net
of deferred revenue, compared to 3 lot sales in Tradition Hilton Head generating $428,000 in
revenue in the same period in 2007. Revenues from sales of real estate for the six months ended
June 30, 2008 and 2007 also included look back provisions of $90,000 and $1.2 million,
respectively, as well as recognition of deferred revenue totaling $768,000 and $1.1 million,
respectively. Inter-segment revenue of $428,000 was eliminated in consolidation during the six
months ended June 30, 2007. There was no inter-segment revenue in the same 2008 period.
Other revenues decreased by $737,000, or 41.3%, to $1.0 million for the six months ended June
30, 2008, as compared to $1.8 million during the same period in 2007. This decrease was due
primarily to decreased marketing income associated with Tradition, Florida.
Cost of sales increased to $1.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2008, as compared
to $555,000 for the same 2007 period. Cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2008
represents the costs associated with the sale of 9 lots in Tradition Hilton Head as compared to
costs associated with the 3 lots sold in Tradition Hilton Head in the same period in 2007.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $2.5 million, or 34.6%, to $9.8
million during the six months ended June 30, 2008 from $7.3 million for the same period in 2007
primarily due to higher other administrative expenses associated with increased marketing and
development activities in Tradition Hilton Head and higher compensation and benefits expense due to
increased headcount. Additionally, there were increased expenses associated with our support of
the community and commercial associations in our master-planned communities and higher property tax
expense due to less acreage in active development in the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to
the same period in 2007.
Interest incurred for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $4.3 million and $4.7
million, respectively, while interest capitalized for the same periods in 2008 and 2007 totaled
$3.2 million and $3.7 million, respectively. This resulted in interest expense of $1.2 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to $1.0 million in the same 2007 period. The interest
expense in the six months ended June 30, 2008 of approximately $1.2 million was partially
associated with funds borrowed by Core but then loaned to the Parent Company. This intercompany
interest amounted to $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and was eliminated on a
consolidated basis. The remaining portion of interest expense was due to the completion of certain
phases of development of our real estate inventory which resulted in a decreased amount of
qualified assets for interest capitalization. The interest expense in the six months ended June 30,
2007 of approximately $1.0 million was attributable to funds borrowed by Core but then loaned to
the Parent Company. The capitalization of this interest occurred at the Parent Company level and
all intercompany interest expense and income was eliminated on a consolidated basis. Interest
incurred was lower due to decreases in the average interest rates on our notes and mortgage notes
payable. Cost of sales of real estate for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007
included an insignificant amount of previously capitalized interest.
Interest and other income decreased to $1.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008 from
$2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The decrease is primarily related to decreased
interest income due to lower average interest rates and lower intercompany interest that was
eliminated in consolidation.

million in the six months ended June 30, 2008 from $105,000 in the same period of 2007. The
increase is due to increased commercial lease activity as a result of the Landing at Tradition

The results of operations of Carolina Oak are included in the Other Operations segment for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2008, but were included in the Primary Homebuilding segment for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2007.
For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2008 Compared to the Same 2007 Period:
Sales of real estate for the three months ended June 30, 2008 were $635,000 resulting from the
delivery of 2 units in Carolina Oak compared to no sales of real estate for the three months ended
June 30, 2007. At June 30, 2008, Carolina Oak had a backlog of 8 units with a value of $2.6 million
compared to no units in backlog at June 30, 2007. Other revenues for the three months ended June
30, 2008 were $251,000 compared to $142,000 for the same period in 2007.
Cost of sales of real estate for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $587,000 compared to
$1.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2007. Cost of sales of real estate for the quarter
ended June 30, 2008 related to the delivery of 2 units in Carolina Oak while in the same period in
2007 was comprised of only the expensing of interest previously capitalized as no units were
delivered.
Bluegreen reported net income for the three months ended June 30, 2008 of $3.4 million, as
compared to $4.1 million for the same period in 2007. Our interest in Bluegreens income was $1.2
million for the 2008 period compared to $1.4 million for the 2007 period. We currently own
approximately 9.5 million shares of the common stock of Bluegreen, which represented approximately
31% of Bluegreens outstanding shares at each of June 30, 2008 and 2007. Under equity method
accounting, we recognize our pro-rata share of Bluegreens 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
Bluegreens earnings. Our earnings in Bluegreen increase or decrease concurrently with Bluegreens
reported results.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $723,000, or 10.4%, to $7.7 million
during the three months ended June 30, 2008 from $6.9 million during the three months ended June
30, 2007. The increase was mainly attributable to severance charges related to the reductions in
force associated with the bankruptcy filing of Levitt and Sons, increased professional fees
associated with our interest and position taken in connection with our investments in equity
securities and increased insurance costs due to the absorption of certain of Levitt and Sons
insurance costs. These increases were partially offset by decreased compensation, benefits and
incentives expenses and decreased office related expenses. The decrease in compensation and office
related expenses is attributable to decreased headcount, as total employees decreased from 65 at
June 30, 2007 to 21 at June 30, 2008.
Interest incurred was approximately $3.1 million and $2.8 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. While all interest was capitalized during the 2007 period,
only $972,000 was capitalized in the three months ended June 30, 2008. This resulted in interest
expense of $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, compared to no interest expense
in the same period in 2007. The increase in interest expense was due to the completion of certain
phases of development associated with the Land Divisions real estate inventory which resulted in a
decreased amount of qualified assets for interest capitalization at the Parent Company level. The
increase in interest incurred was attributable to higher outstanding balances on our notes and
mortgages notes payable for the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same period in
2007.
Interest and other income increased to $1.7 million during the three months ended June 30,
2008 as compared to $403,000 for the same period of 2007. The increase is due to a $1.2 million
gain on sale of equity securities and increased interest income based on higher cash balances in
the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007 reflecting proceeds from
the October 2007 rights offering.
For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2008 Compared to the Same 2007 Period:
Sales of real estate for the six months ended June 30, 2008 were $635,000 compared to $6.6
million during the same period in 2007. Sales of real estate for the six months ended June 30, 2008
relate to the delivery of 2 units in Carolina Oak while sales of real estate for the same period in
2007 relate to the delivery of 17 warehouse units in Levitt Commercial. At June 30, 2008, Carolina
Oak had a backlog of 8 units with a value of $2.6 million compared to no units in backlog at June
30, 2007. Other revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2008 were $510,000 compared to $435,000
for the same period in 2007.
Cost of sales of real estate for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $587,000 compared to
$6.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2007. Cost of sales of real estate for the first six
months of 2008 related to the delivery of 2 units in Carolina Oak while in the same period in 2007
was comprised of both the cost of sales of the 17 warehouse units delivered in Levitt Commercial as
well as the expensing of interest previously capitalized.
Bluegreen reported net income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 of $4.8 million, as
compared to $9.4 million for the same period in 2007. Our interest in Bluegreens income was $1.7
million for the 2008 period compared to $3.1 million for the 2007 period.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $417,000, or 2.7%, to $14.7 million
during the six months ended June 30, 2008 from $15.2 million during the six months ended June 30,
2007. The decrease was attributable to decreased compensation, benefits and incentives expenses
and decreased office related expenses. The decrease in compensation and office related expenses is
attributable to decreased headcount, as total employees decreased from 65 at June 30, 2007 to 21 at
June 30, 2008. These decreases were offset in part by increases in severance charges related to
the reductions in force associated with the bankruptcy filing of Levitt and Sons, increased
professional fees associated with our interest and position taken in connection with our
investments in equity securities and increased insurance costs due to the absorption of certain of
Levitt and Sons insurance costs.

Interest incurred was approximately $6.4 million and $5.1 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. While all interest was capitalized during the 2007 period,
only $1.6 million was capitalized in the six months ended June 30, 2008. This resulted in interest
expense of $4.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to no interest expense in
the same period in 2007. The increase in interest expense was due to the completion of certain
phases of development associated with the Land Divisions real estate inventory which resulted in a
decreased amount of qualified assets for interest capitalization at the Parent Company level. The
increase in interest incurred was attributable to higher outstanding balances on our notes and
mortgages notes payable for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007.
Interest and other income increased to $3.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2008
as compared to $648,000 for the same period of 2007. The increase is due to a $1.2 million gain on
sale of equity securities and increased interest income based on higher cash balances in the six
months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007 reflecting proceeds from the October
2007 rights offering.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
June 30, 2008 compared to December 31, 2007
Our total assets at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 were $673.7 million and $712.9
million, respectively. The change in total assets primarily resulted from:
| a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $69.9 million, which resulted from cash used in operations of $39.8 million, cash used in investing activities of $14.6 million and cash used in financing activities of $15.5 million; | ||
| a net increase of the investment in other equity securities of $15.7 million as a result of the acquisition (net of shares sold) of shares of equity securities; and | ||
| a net increase in inventory of real estate of $14.9 million mainly due to the land development activities of the Land Division. |
Total liabilities at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 were $432.9 million and $451.7
million, respectively. The change in total liabilities primarily resulted from:
| a net decrease in notes and mortgage notes payable of $16.9 million, primarily due to curtailment payments made in connection with a development loan collateralized by land in Tradition Hilton Head; and | ||
| a net decrease in accounts payable and other accrued liabilities of approximately $4.2 million mainly attributable to decreased severance and construction related accruals. |
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Management assesses the Companys liquidity in terms of the Companys cash and cash equivalent
balances and its ability to generate cash to fund its operating and investment activities. We
intend to use available cash and our borrowing capacity to implement our business strategy of
pursuing investment opportunities and continuing the development of our master-planned communities.
We are also exploring possible ways to monetize a portion of our investment in Core assets through joint
ventures or other strategic relationships. We will also seek to utilize community development
districts to fund development costs when possible. We also will use available cash to repay
borrowings and to pay operating expenses. We believe that our current financial condition and
credit relationships, together with anticipated cash flows from operations and other sources of
funds, which may include proceeds from the disposition of certain properties or investments, will
provide for our anticipated liquidity needs.
The Company separately manages its liquidity at the Parent Company level and at the operating
subsidiary level, consisting primarily of Core Communities. Subsidiary operations are generally
financed using proceeds from sales of real estate inventory and debt financing using operating
assets as loan collateral. Many of Cores financing agreements contain covenants at the subsidiary
level. Parent Company guarantees are generally avoided and, when provided, are provided on a
limited basis.
The Company expects to meet its 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.
Woodbridge (Parent Company level)
As of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, Woodbridge had cash of $81.9 million and $162.0
million, respectively. Our cash decreased by $80.1 million during the six months ended June 30,
2008 primarily due to the repayment of a $40.0 million intercompany loan to Core and the
acquisition of 1,435,000 shares of Office Depot common stock for an aggregate cost of $16.3
million. The remaining balance was used in operations and to pay accrued expenses, including
severance related expenses.

(Woodbridge)
On October 25, 2007, Woodbridge acquired from Levitt and Sons all of the membership interests
in Carolina Oak, which owns a 150 acre parcel in Tradition Hilton Head. In connection with this
acquisition, the credit facility collateralized by the 150 acre parcel (the Carolina Oak Loan)
was modified, and Woodbridge became the obligor under the Carolina Oak Loan. Woodbridge was
previously a guarantor of this loan and as partial consideration for Woodbridge becoming an obligor
of the Carolina Oak Loan, its membership interests in Levitt and Sons, previously pledged by
Woodbridge to the lender, was released. At June 30, 2008, the outstanding balance on the Carolina
Oak Loan was $39.1 million and is collateralized by a first mortgage on the 150 acre parcel in
Tradition Hilton Head and guaranteed by Carolina Oak. The Carolina Oak Loan is due and payable on
March 21, 2011 but may be extended for one additional year at the discretion of the lender.
Interest accrues under the facility at the Prime Rate (5.00% at June 30, 2008) and is payable
monthly. The Carolina Oak Loan is subject to customary terms, conditions and covenants, including
periodic appraisal and re-margining and the lenders right to accelerate the debt upon a material
adverse change with respect to Woodbridge. At June 30, 2008, there was no immediate availability to
draw on this facility based on available collateral and the Company was in compliance with the loan
covenants.
At November 9, 2007, the date of the deconsolidation of Levitt and Sons, Woodbridge had a
negative investment in Levitt and Sons of $123.0 million and there were outstanding advances due to
Woodbridge from Levitt and Sons of $67.8 million, resulting in a net negative investment of $55.2
million. Since the Chapter 11 Cases were filed, Woodbridge has incurred certain administrative
costs relating to services performed for Levitt and Sons and its employees (the Post Petition
Services) in the amounts of $591,000 and $1.6 million in the three and six months ended June 30,
2008, respectively. The payment by Levitt and Sons of its outstanding advances and the Post
Petition Services expenses are subject to the risks inherent to the recovery by creditors in the
Chapter 11 Cases. Levitt and Sons may not have sufficient assets to repay Woodbridge for advances
made to Levitt and Sons or the Post Petition Services and it is likely that these amounts will not
be recovered. In addition, Woodbridge files a consolidated federal income tax return. At June
30, 2008, Woodbridge had a federal income tax receivable of $27.4 million as a result of losses
incurred which is anticipated to be collected upon filing the 2007 consolidated U.S. federal income
tax return. Woodbridge has been advised that the creditors believe they are entitled to share in an
unstated amount of the refund.
On June 27, 2008, Woodbridge entered into the Settlement Agreement with the Debtors and the
Joint Committee of Unsecured Creditors appointed in the Chapter 11 Cases. Pursuant to the
Settlement Agreement, among other things, (i) Woodbridge has agreed to pay to the Debtors
bankruptcy estates the sum of $12.5 million plus accrued interest from May 22, 2008 through the
date of payment, (ii) Woodbridge has agreed to waive and release substantially all of the claims it
has against the Debtors, including its administrative expense claims through July 2008, and
(iii) the Debtors (joined by the Joint Committee of Unsecured Creditors) have agreed to waive and
release any claims they may have against Woodbridge and its affiliates. The Settlement Agreement is
subject to a number of conditions, including the approval of the Bankruptcy Court, and there is no
assurance that the Settlement Agreement will be approved or the transactions contemplated by it
completed. Certain of Levitt and Sons creditors have indicated that they intend to object to the
Settlement Agreement and may pursue claims against Woodbridge. At this time, it is not possible to
predict the impact that the Chapter 11 Cases will have on Woodbridge and its results of operations,
cash flows or financial condition in the event the Settlement Agreement is not approved by the
Bankruptcy Court.
The Company intends to seek to effect a reverse stock split during the third or fourth quarter of 2008
which, if consummated, would combine a predetermined number of shares of the Companys Class A
Common Stock into one share of Class A Common Stock and the same predetermined number of shares of
the Companys Class B Common Stock into one share of Class B Common Stock. The reverse stock split
would proportionately reduce the number of authorized shares and the number of outstanding shares
of the Companys Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, but would not have any impact on a
shareholders proportionate equity interest or voting rights in the Company. The Company is pursuing the reverse stock split based on the continued listing requirements of the New
York Stock Exchange. While the reverse stock split would potentially address issues with respect
to the trading price of the Companys Class A Common Stock, the exchange also requires a minimum
market value of publicly held shares and excludes the value of shares held by large shareholders
from that calculation. Given the current composition of the Companys shareholders, it may be
difficult for the Company to meet this requirement for continued listing. There is no assurance
that the reverse stock split will be effected in the timeframe anticipated, or at all.
Core Communities
At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, Core had cash and cash equivalents of $43.4 million
and $33.1 million, respectively. Cash increased $10.3 million during the six months ended June 30,
2008 primarily as a result of the repayment of a $40.0 million intercompany loan from the Parent
Company, offset by $19.9 million of curtailment payments mentioned below and cash used to fund the
continued development at Cores projects as well as selling, general and administrative expenses.
At June 30, 2008, Core had immediate availability under its various lines of credit of $19.0
million. Core has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant land development
expenditures in both Tradition, Florida and in Tradition Hilton Head. Tradition Hilton Head is in
the early stage of the master-planned communitys development cycle and significant investments
have been made and will be required in the future to develop the community infrastructure.

(Woodbridge)
In March 2008, Core agreed to the termination of a $20 million line of credit. No amounts
were
outstanding under this line of credit at the date of termination. The lender agreed to
continue to honor two construction loans to a subsidiary of Core totaling $9.0 million as of June
30, 2008. In July 2008, Core refinanced these construction loans for $9.1 million. The terms of
the new loan agreement call for a maturity date of July 2010 with a one year extension.
Cores loan agreements generally require repayment of specified amounts upon a sale of a
portion of the property collateralizing the debt. Core is subject to provisions in one of its loan
agreements collateralized by land in Tradition Hilton Head that require additional principal
payments, known as curtailment payments, in the event that actual sales are below the contractual
requirements. A curtailment payment of $14.9 million relating to Tradition Hilton Head was paid in
January 2008. On June 27, 2008, Core modified this loan agreement. The loan modification agreement
terminated the revolving feature of the loan and reduced a $19.3 million curtailment payment due in
June 2008 to $17.0 million, $5.0 million of which was paid in June 2008, with the remaining $12.0
million due in November 2008. Additionally, the loan modification agreement reduced the extension
term from an extension period of one year to an extension period of up to two 3-month periods upon
compliance with the conditions set forth in the loan modification agreement, including a minimum $5
million principal reduction with each extension. The February 28, 2009 maturity date of the loan
was not modified in the loan modification agreement.
The loans which provide the primary financing for Tradition, Florida and Tradition Hilton Head
have annual appraisal and re-margining requirements. These provisions may require Core, in
circumstances where the value of its real estate collateralizing these loans declines, to pay down
a portion of the principal amount of the loan to bring the loan within specified minimum
loan-to-value ratios. Accordingly, should land prices decline, reappraisals could result in
significant future re-margining payments.
All of Cores debt facilities contain financial covenants generally covering net worth,
liquidity and loan to value ratios. Further, Cores debt facilities contain cross-default
provisions under which a default on one loan with a lender could cause a default on other debt
instruments with the same lender. If Core fails to comply with any of these restrictions or
covenants, the lenders under the applicable debt facilities could cause Cores debt to become due
and payable prior to maturity. These accelerations or significant re-margining payments could
require Core to dedicate a substantial portion of cash to payment of its debt and reduce its
ability to use its cash to fund operations or investments. If Core does not have sufficient cash to
satisfy these required payments, then Core would need to seek to refinance the debt or seek other
funds, which may not be available on attractive terms, if at all. Possible liquidity sources
available to Core include the sale of real estate inventory, including commercial properties, debt
or outside equity financing, including secured borrowings using unencumbered land, and funding from
Woodbridge.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
In connection with the development of certain projects, community development, special
assessment or improvement districts have been established and may utilize tax-exempt bond financing
to fund construction or acquisition of certain on-site and off-site infrastructure improvements
near or at these communities. If these improvement districts were not established, Core would need
to fund community infrastructure development out of operating cash flow or through sources of
financing or capital, or be forced to delay its development activity. The obligation to pay
principal and interest on the bonds issued by the districts is assigned to each parcel within the
district, and a priority assessment lien may be placed on benefited parcels to provide security for
the debt service. The bonds, including interest and redemption premiums, if any, and the associated
priority lien on the property are typically payable, secured and satisfied by revenues, fees, or
assessments levied on the property benefited. Core pays a portion of the revenues, fees, and
assessments levied by the districts on the properties it still owns that are benefited by the
improvements. Core may also be required to pay down a specified portion of the bonds at the time
each unit or parcel is sold. The costs of these obligations are capitalized to inventory during the
development period and recognized as cost of sales when the properties are sold.
Cores bond financing at June 30, 2008 consisted of district bonds totaling $218.7 million
with outstanding amounts of approximately $102.4 million. Further, at June 30, 2008, there was
approximately $110.4 million available under these bonds to fund future development expenditures.
Bond obligations at June 30, 2008 mature in 2035 and 2040. As of June 30, 2008, Core Communities
owned approximately 16% of the property subject to assessments within the community development
district and approximately 91% of the property subject to
86
Table of Contents
Real Estate Development
(Woodbridge)
(Woodbridge)
assessments within the special assessment district. During the three and six months ended
June 30, 2008, Core recorded approximately $163,000 and $268,000, respectively, in assessments on
property owned by it in the districts. Core is responsible for any assessed amounts until the
underlying property is sold and will continue to be responsible for the annual assessments if the
property is never sold. Accordingly, if the current adverse conditions in the homebuilding
industry do not improve and Core is forced to hold its land inventory longer than originally
projected, Core would be forced to pay a higher portion of annual assessments on property which is
subject to assessments. In addition, Core has guaranteed payments for assessments under the
district bonds in Tradition, Florida which would require funding if future assessments to be
allocated to property owners are insufficient to repay the bonds. Management has evaluated this
exposure based upon the criteria in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5, Accounting
for Contingencies, and has determined that there have been no substantive changes to the projected
density or land use in the development subject to the bond which would make it probable that Core
would have to fund future shortfalls in assessments.
In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 91-10, Accounting for Special
Assessments and Tax Increment Financing, the Company records a liability for the estimated
developer obligations that are fixed and determinable and user fees that are required to be paid or
transferred at the time the parcel or unit is sold to an end user. At June 30, 2008, the liability
related to developer obligations was $3.5 million. This liability is included in the liabilities
related to assets held for sale in the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition
as of June 30, 2008, and includes amounts associated with Cores ownership of the property.

(2) | These amounts represent scheduled principal payments and some of those borrowings require the repayment of specified amounts upon a sale of portions of the property collateralizing those obligations, as well as curtailment repayments prior to scheduled maturity pursuant to re-margining requirements. |
Long-term debt obligations consist of notes, mortgage notes and bonds payable. Operating
lease obligations consist of lease commitments. In addition to the above contractual obligations,
we have $2.4 million in unrecognized tax benefits related to FASB Interpretation No. 48
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB No. 109 (FIN No. 48).
FIN No. 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.
At June 30, 2008, we had outstanding surety bonds and letters of credit of approximately $7.7
million related primarily to obligations to various governmental entities to construct improvements
in our various communities. We estimate that approximately $4.8 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.
Levitt and Sons had $33.3 million in surety bonds related to its ongoing projects at the time
of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases. In the event that these obligations are drawn and paid by
the surety, Woodbridge could be
87
Table of Contents
Real Estate Development
(Woodbridge)
(Woodbridge)
responsible for up to $12.0 million plus costs and expenses in accordance with the surety
indemnity agreements executed by Woodbridge. As of June 30, 2008, the $1.1 million surety bonds
accrual at Woodbridge related to certain bonds which management considers to be probable that
Woodbridge will be required to reimburse the surety under applicable indemnity agreements. During
the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, Woodbridge performed under its indemnity agreements
and reimbursed the surety $367,000 and $532,000, respectively. It is unclear given the uncertainty
involved in the Chapter 11 Cases whether and to what extent the remaining outstanding surety bonds
of Levitt and Sons will be drawn and the extent to which Woodbridge may be responsible for
additional amounts beyond this accrual. There is no assurance that Woodbridge will not be
responsible for amounts well in excess of the $1.1 million accrual. It is considered unlikely that
Woodbridge will receive any repayment, assets or other consideration as recovery of any amounts it
may be required to pay.
On November 9, 2007, Woodbridge put in place an employee fund and offered up to $5 million of
severance benefits to terminated Levitt and Sons employees to supplement the limited termination
benefits paid by Levitt and Sons to those employees. Levitt and Sons was restricted in the payment
of termination benefits to its former employees by virtue of the Chapter 11 Cases. Woodbridge
incurred severance and benefits related restructuring charges of $816,000 and $2.0 million during
the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. For the three and six months ended June
30, 2008, the Company paid approximately $1.2 million and $2.7 million, respectively, in severance
and termination charges related to the above described fund as well as severance for employees
other than Levitt and Sons employees. Employees entitled to participate in the fund either
received a payment stream, which in certain cases extends over two years, or a lump sum payment,
dependent on a variety of factors. Former Levitt and Sons employees who received these payments
were required to assign to Woodbridge their unsecured claims against Levitt and Sons. At June 30,
2008, $1.3 million was accrued to be paid from this fund and the severance accrual for other
employees of the Company. In addition to these amounts, Woodbridge expects additional severance
related obligations of approximately $202,000 to be incurred during the remainder of 2008.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The discussion contained in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2007 under Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk,
provides quantitative and qualitative disclosures about the Companys primary market risks which
are interest rate and equity pricing risks.
BFC
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. BFCs primary market risk is equity price risk.
Because BankAtlantic Bancorp and Woodbridge are consolidated in the Companys financial
statements, an increase or decrease in the market price of their stock would not impact the
Companys consolidated 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 BFCs common stock and of BFCs directly held equity securities are important
to the valuation and financing capability of BFC. Included in the Companys Consolidated
Statements of Financial Condition at June 30, 2008 was BFCs $20.0 million investment in Benihana
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock for which no current market is available (unless converted
into common stock). The ability to realize or liquidate these investments will depend on future
market and economic conditions and the ability to register the shares of Benihanas common stock
in the event of the conversion of our shares of Benihana Series B Convertible Preferred stock, all
of which are subject to significant risk.
As the Company (excluding BankAtlantic Bancorp and Woodbridge) is not expected to generate
taxable income from operations in the foreseeable future, the Company currently anticipates
implementing a planning strategy in 2008 to utilize NOLs that are scheduled to expire. If the
strategy is implemented, the Company would begin selling shares of BankAtlantic Bancorp Class A
Common Stock in order to generate sufficient taxable income to utilize the $3.3 million of NOLs
expected to expire in 2008. The Company would then repurchase a sufficient number of shares to
substantially maintain its ownership of BankAtlantic Bancorp. If the stock price on sale is lower
than its book basis at the time of sale, a loss will be recognized and reflected in the Companys
results of operations.
BankAtlantic Bancorp
The majority of BankAtlantics assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result, the
earnings and growth of BankAtlantic are significantly affected by interest rates, which are subject
to the influence of economic conditions generally, both domestic and foreign, and also to the
monetary and fiscal policies of the United States and its agencies, particularly the Federal
Reserve Board. The nature and timing of any changes in such policies or general economic conditions
and their effect on BankAtlantic cannot be controlled and are extremely difficult to predict.
Changes in interest rates can impact BankAtlantics net interest income as well as the valuation of
its assets and liabilities. BankAtlantics interest rate risk position did not significantly
change during the six months ended June 30, 2008. For a discussion on the effect of changing
interest rates on BankAtlantics earnings during the six months ended June 30, 2008, see Item 2
Financial Services Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations Net Interest Income above or in BankAtlantic Bancorps Form 10-Q for the period
ending June 30, 2008.
Woodbridge
Woodbridge has a risk of loss associated with its long-term borrowings that are subject to
interest rate risk. At June 30, 2008, including borrowings related to assets held for sale,
Woodbridge had $232.6 million in borrowings with adjustable rates tied to the Prime Rate and/or
LIBOR rate and $105.9 million in borrowings with fixed or initially-fixed rates. Consequently, the
impact on Woodbridges variable rate debt from changes in interest rates may affect Woodbridges
earnings and cash flows but would generally 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

Woodbridges earnings or cash flow. Assuming the variable rate debt balance of $232.6 million
outstanding at June 30, 2008 (which does not include initially fixed-rate obligations which will
not become floating rate during 2008) was to remain constant, each one percentage point increase in
interest rates would increase the interest expense incurred by Woodbridge by approximately $2.3
million per year.
Included in the Companys Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition at June 30, 2008 were
$15.7 million of publicly traded equity securities (comprised of 1,435,000 shares of Office Depot
common stock) which are carried at fair value with net unrealized gains or losses reported as a
component of accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated statement of shareholders
equity. These equity securities are subject to equity pricing risks arising in connection with
changes in their relative value due to changing market and economic conditions and the results of
operation and financial condition of Office Depot. A decline in the trading price of these
securities will negatively impact the Companys shareholders equity by negatively impacting our
economic ownership interest in Woodbridge.
