1. Presentation of Interim Financial Statements
BFC Financial Corporation (BFC or the Company) is a diversified holding company whose
major holdings include controlling interests in BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries (BankAtlantic Bancorp) and Woodbridge Holdings Corporation and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries (Woodbridge) and a noncontrolling interest in Benihana, Inc. (Benihana), 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 (OTS).
On July 2, 2009, the Company entered into a definitive merger agreement with Woodbridge.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the agreement, Woodbridge will become a wholly-owned
subsidiary of BFC and Woodbridges shareholders (other than BFC) will become shareholders of BFC.
See Note 25 for further information regarding the merger agreement and the proposed merger.
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.
BFCs ownership in BankAtlantic Bancorp and Woodbridge as of June 30, 2009 was as follows:

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. BankAtlantic, is a federal savings bank headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
On February 28, 2007, BankAtlantic Bancorp completed the sale to Stifel Financial Corp.
(Stifel) of Ryan Beck Holdings, Inc. (Ryan Beck), a subsidiary of BankAtlantic Bancorp engaged
in retail and institutional brokerage and investment banking. Under the terms of the Ryan Beck
sales agreement, BankAtlantic Bancorp received additional consideration based on Ryan Beck revenues
over the two-year period following the closing of the sale. Included in the Companys consolidated
statement of operations in discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008
was $4.2 million and $1.1 million of earn-out consideration, respectively.
Historically, Woodbridges operations were primarily within the real estate industry; however,
Woodbridges has pursued investments and acquisitions within or outside of the real estate
industry, as well as the continued development of master-planned communities. Woodbridge engages in
business activities through its Land Division, which currently consists of the operations of Core
Communities, LLC (Core Communities or Core), which develops master-planned communities, and
through its Other Operations segment (Woodbridge Other Operations), which currently includes the
other operations of Woodbridge, such as the consolidated operations of Pizza Fusion Holdings, Inc.
(Pizza Fusion) which is a quick service organic restaurant franchisor, the consolidated
9
Table of Contents
operations of Carolina Oak Homes, LLC (Carolina Oak), which engaged in homebuilding
activities in South Carolina prior to the suspension of those activities in the fourth quarter of
2008, and the activities of Cypress Creek Capital Holdings, LLC (Cypress Creek Capital) and
Snapper Creek Equity Management, LLC (Snapper Creek). An equity investment in Bluegreen
Corporation (Bluegreen), a publicly-traded timeshare operator, and an investment in Office Depot,
Inc. (Office Depot), a publicly-traded office supply company, are also included in the Woodbridge
Other Operations segment.
Prior to November 9, 2007, Woodbridge also conducted homebuilding operations through Levitt
and Sons, LLC (Levitt and Sons), which comprised Woodbridges Homebuilding Division. Woodbridges
Homebuilding Division consisted of two reportable operating segments, the Primary Homebuilding
segment and the Tennessee Homebuilding segment. As previously reported, on November 9, 2007, Levitt
and Sons and substantially all of its subsidiaries (the Debtors) 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 of Levitt and Sons, Woodbridge recorded
its interest in Levitt and Sons under the cost method of accounting.
As previously reported, on February 20, 2009, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming
a plan of liquidation jointly proposed by Levitt and Sons and the Official Committee of Unsecured
Creditors. That order also approved the settlement pursuant to the settlement agreement that was
entered into on June 27, 2008. No appeal or rehearing of the Bankruptcy Courts order was timely
filed by any party, and the settlement was consummated on March 3, 2009, at which time, payment was
made in accordance with the terms and conditions of the settlement agreement. Under cost method
accounting, the cost of settlement and the related $52.9 million liability (less $500,000 which was
determined as the settlement holdback and remained as an accrual pursuant to the settlement
agreement, was recognized into income in the first quarter of 2009, resulting in a $40.4 million
gain on settlement of investment in subsidiary. See Note 24 for further information regarding the
bankruptcy of Levitt and Sons.
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 statement of the Companys consolidated financial condition at June 30, 2009
and December 31, 2008; the consolidated results of operations and comprehensive loss for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the consolidated cash flows and the changes in
consolidated equity for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Operating results for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the year ending December 31, 2009. These consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008
which the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Companys Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 were revised in the Companys Current Report on
Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on July 20, 2009 to reflect the
implementation of the change in accounting for noncontrolling interests adopted on January 1, 2009.
All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current periods
presentation.
Revisions and Reclassifications
On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the change in accounting for noncontrolling interests
and, accordingly, the Company reflected the new presentation of noncontrolling interests as a
separate item in the equity section in the Companys Consolidated Statements of Financial
Condition. The Company also reflected the amount attributable to noncontrolling interests and the
amount attributable to BFC to be separately presented in the Companys Consolidated Statements of
Operations, Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss and Consolidated Statement of Changes in
Equity. The change in accounting for noncontrolling interests was applied prospectively with the
exception of the financial statements presentation and required disclosures, which were applied
retrospectively for all periods presented.
In 2007, Core Communities began soliciting bids from several potential buyers to purchase
assets associated with two of Cores commercial leasing projects (the Projects). As the criteria
for assets held for sale had been met in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for
10
Table of Contents
the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS No. 144), the assets were
reclassified to assets held for sale and the liabilities related to those assets were reclassified
to liabilities related to assets held for sale. The results of operations for these assets were
reclassified as discontinued operations. During the fourth quarter of 2008, Woodbridge determined
that given the difficulty in predicting the timing or probability of a sale of the assets
associated with the Projects as a result of, among other things, the economic downturn and
disruptions in the credit markets, the requirements of SFAS No. 144 necessary to classify these
assets as held for sale and to be included in discontinued operations were no longer met and
Woodbridge could not assert the Projects could be sold within a year. Therefore, the results of
operations for these Projects were reclassified back into continuing operations for prior periods
to conform to the current periods presentation.
A revision was recorded by Woodbridge in the first quarter of 2009 to account for assets and
non-controlling interests not recorded properly in the initial application of purchase accounting
of Woodbridges investment in Pizza Fusion. The adjustment, resulted in an increase in cash of
$3.0 million, goodwill of $1.1 million and noncontrolling interest of $4.1 million. Woodbridge has
also recorded an increase in cash flows from investing activities in
the six months ended June 30, 2009 of $3.0 million which is included in adjustment to acquisition of Pizza Fusion in the
accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30,
2009. The impact of this revision is not material to our consolidated balance sheets at September
30, 2008 and December 31, 2008, nor was it material to our consolidated statement of cash flows for
the periods then ended. The revision had no impact on our net income or loss or on our cash flows
from operating activities for the three month periods ended September 30, 2008 and December 31,
2008.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 160,
Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial StatementsAn Amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS
160). SFAS 160 established new accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest
in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Specifically, this statement required
the recognition of a noncontrolling interest (minority interest) as equity in the consolidated
financial statements and separate from the parents equity. SFAS 160 also established accounting
and reporting standards for the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to
the noncontrolling interest. SFAS 160 clarified 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, SFAS 160 required that a parent recognize a gain or
loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. Such gain or loss is measured using the
fair value of the noncontrolling equity investment on the deconsolidation date. SFAS 160 also
included expanded disclosure requirements regarding the interests of the parent and its
noncontrolling interest. SFAS 160 was effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those
fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption was prohibited. The Company
adopted SFAS 160 on January 1, 2009.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS
141(R)). SFAS 141(R) significantly changed the accounting for business combinations. Under SFAS
141(R), subject to limited exceptions, an acquiring entity will be required to recognize all the
assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value.
Additionally, due diligence and transaction costs incurred to effect a business combination will be
expensed as incurred, as opposed to being capitalized as part of the acquisition purchase price.
SFAS No. 141(R) also includes a substantial number of new disclosure requirements. The adoption of
SFAS No. 141(R) on January 1, 2009 did not impact the Companys unaudited consolidated financial
statements, but will impact the accounting for any future acquisitions.
In May 2009, the FASB issued FAS No. 165, Subsequent Events (FAS 165). FAS 165 addresses
the accounting and disclosures of subsequent events not addressed in other pronouncements. This
statement establishes new terminology for the Type I and Type II concepts naming them
Recognized and Unrecognized subsequent events, respectively. FAS 165 also requires the
disclosure of the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated and whether the date is
the date the financial statements were issued or the date the financial statements were available
to be issued. The application of this pronouncement is effective for fiscal years and interim
periods beginning after June 15, 2009. The Company has adopted this pronouncement and has
evaluated subsequent events through the issuance date of the financial statements on August 11,
2009.
In April 2009, the FASB issued three related FASB Staff Positions (FSPs): (i) FSP FAS 157-4,
Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability have
Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly (FSP FAS 157-4), (ii)
FSP FAS 115-2 and FSP
11
Table of Contents
FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments (FSP FAS
115-2/FAS 124-2), and (iii) FSP FAS No. 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value
of Financial Instruments (FSP FAS 107-1/APB 28-1), each of which is effective for interim and
annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. FSP FAS 157-4 provides guidance on how to determine the
fair value of assets and liabilities under SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157)
in the current economic environment and reemphasizes that the objective of a fair value measurement
remains an exit price. If the Company was to conclude that there has been a significant decrease in
the volume and level of activity of the asset or liability in relation to normal market activities,
quoted market values may not be representative of fair value and the Company may conclude that a
change in valuation technique or the use of multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate. FSP
FAS 115-2/FAS 124-2 modifies the requirements for recognizing other-than-temporarily impaired debt
securities and revises the existing impairment model for such securities, by modifying the current
intent and ability indicator in determining whether a debt security is other-than-temporarily
impaired. FSP FAS 107-1/APB 28-1 enhances the disclosure of instruments under the scope of SFAS No.
157 for both interim and annual periods. The adoption of these FSPs did not have a material impact
on the Companys unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
2. Liquidity
BFC
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. BFC has
incurred operating cash flow deficits which have been financed with available working capital. BFC
expects to meet its liquidity requirements generally through existing cash balances and cash
dividends from Benihana and, if necessary with respect to its long-term liquidity requirements,
through secured and unsecured indebtedness, future issuances of equity and/or debt securities, and,
the sale of assets; however, there is no assurance that any of these alternatives will be available
to BFC on attractive terms, or at all, particularly if the adverse current economic and financial
market conditions continue.
BankAtlantic Bancorp and BankAtlantic
BankAtlantics liquidity is dependent, in part, on its ability to maintain or increase deposit
levels and availability under its lines of credit, and Treasury and Federal Reserve lending
programs. Additionally, interest rate changes, additional collateral requirements, disruptions in
the capital markets or deterioration in BankAtlantics financial condition may make terms of the
borrowings and deposits less favorable. As a result, there is a risk that BankAtlantics cost of
funds will increase or that the availability of funding sources may decrease. As of June 30, 2009,
BankAtlantic had available unused borrowings and cash of approximately $825 million consisting
primarily of $247 million of unused FHLB line of credit capacity, $246 million of unpledged
securities, $119 million of available borrowing capacity at the Federal Reserve and $213 million of
cash. However, such available borrowings are subject to periodic reviews and they may be
terminated or limited at any time.
As of June 30, 2009, BankAtlantics capital was in excess of all regulatory well capitalized
levels. However, the OTS, at its discretion, can at any time require an institution to maintain
capital amounts and ratios above the established well capitalized requirements based on its view
of the risk profile of the specific institution. If higher capital requirements are imposed,
BankAtlantic could be required to raise additional capital. There is no assurance that additional
capital will not be necessary, or that BankAtlantic Bancorp or BankAtlantic would be successful in
raising additional capital in subsequent periods on favorable terms or at all. BankAtlantic
Bancorps inability to raise capital or be deemed well capitalized could have a material adverse
impact on BFCs and BankAtlantic Bancorps financial condition and results.
Core Communities
Cores operations have been negatively impacted by the downturn in the residential and
commercial real-estate markets. Market conditions have adversely affected Cores commercial
leasing projects and its ability to complete sales of its real estate inventory and, as a
consequence, Core is experiencing cash flow deficits. Possible liquidity sources available to Core
include the sale of real estate inventory, including commercial properties, as well as debt and
outside equity financing, including secured borrowings using unencumbered land; however, there is
no assurance that any or all of these alternatives will be available to Core on attractive terms,
if at all, or that Core will otherwise be in a position to utilize such alternatives to improve its
cash position. In addition, while funding from Woodbridge is a possible source of liquidity,
Woodbridge is generally under no contractual obligation to provide funding to Core and there is no
assurance that it will do so.
12
Table of Contents
Certain of Cores debt facilities contain financial covenants generally requiring certain net
worth, liquidity and loan to value ratios. In January of 2009, Core was advised by one of its
lenders that the lender had received an external appraisal on the land that serves as collateral
for a development mortgage note payable, which had an outstanding balance of $86.4 million at June
30, 2009. The appraised value would suggest the potential for a re-margining payment to bring the
note payable back in line with the minimum loan-to-value requirement. The lender is conducting its
internal review procedures, including the determination of the appraised value. As of the date of
this filing, Core is in discussion with the lender to restructure the loan which may eliminate any
re-margining requirements; however, there is no assurance that these discussions will be successful
or that re-margining payments will not otherwise be required in the future.
As discussed above, the operations of Core have been negatively impacted by the deterioration
of the real estate market and Core may be required to make re-margining payments under certain of
its debt facilities. These factors have caused substantial doubt to be raised regarding Cores
ability to continue as a going concern if Woodbridge chooses not to provide Core with the cash
needed to meet its obligations when and if they arise. Cores results are reported separately for
segment purposes as the Land Division segment in Note 5. The financial information provided in the
Land Division segment and in the unaudited consolidated financial statements has been prepared
assuming that Core will meet its obligations and continue as a going concern. As a result, the
unaudited consolidated financial statements and the financial information provided for the Land
Division do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The valuation techniques and the inputs used in our financial statements to measure the fair
value of our recurring financial instruments are described below.
Mortgage-Backed Securities and REMICs
The fair values of mortgage-backed and real estate mortgage conduit securities are estimated
using independent pricing sources and matrix pricing. Matrix pricing uses a market approach
valuation technique and Level 2 valuation inputs as quoted market prices are not available for the
specific securities that BankAtlantic owns. The independent pricing sources value these
securities using observable market inputs including: benchmark yields, reported trades,
broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads and other reference data in the secondary institutional
market which is the principal market for these types of assets. To validate fair values obtained
from the pricing sources, BankAtlantic reviews fair value estimates obtained from brokers,
investment advisors and others to determine the reasonableness of the fair values obtained from
independent pricing sources. BankAtlantic reviews any price that it determines may not be
reasonable and requires the pricing sources to explain the differences in fair value or reevaluate
its fair value.
Bonds and Other Equity Securities
Bonds and equity securities are generally fair valued using the market approach and quoted
market prices (Level 1) or matrix pricing (Level 2 or Level 3) with inputs obtained from
independent pricing sources to value bonds and equity securities, if available. Also non-binding
broker quotes are obtained to validate fair values obtained from matrix pricing. However, for
certain equity and debt securities in which observable market inputs cannot be obtained, these
securities are valued either using the income approach and pricing models that we have developed
or based on observable market data that we adjusted based on our judgment of the factors we
believe a market participant would use to value the securities (Level 3).
Benihanas Convertible Preferred Stock
The fair value of the Companys investment in Benihanas Convertible Preferred Stock was
assessed using the income approach with Level 3 inputs by discounting future cash flows at a market
discount rate combined with the fair value of the underlying shares, as if converted, that BFC owns
in Benihanas Convertible Preferred Stock.

There was no material liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis in the
Companys financial statements.
Loans Measured For Impairment
Impaired loans are generally valued based on the fair value of the underlying collateral.
Third party appraisals of the collateral are primarily used to assist in measuring impairment.
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 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 on market conditions is used
to adjust the most current appraisal. The comparable sales prices used in the valuation of the
collateral 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.
Impaired Real Estate Owned and Real Estate Held for Sale
Generally, real estate is valued using third party appraisals or broker price opinions. These
appraisals generally use the market approach valuation technique and use market observable data to
formulate an opinion of the fair value of the properties. However, the appraiser or brokers use
professional judgment in determining the fair value of the properties, and we may also adjust these
values for changes in market conditions subsequent to the valuation date. As a consequence of using
broker price opinions and adjustments to appraisals, the fair values of the properties are
considered a Level 3 valuation.
Impaired Goodwill
Goodwill impairment charges relating to BankAtlantic Bancorps tax certificates and
investments reporting units in the aggregate amount of $8.5 million, net of purchase accounting
adjustment from the 2008 step acquisition in the amount of approximately $0.6 million, was recorded
during the six months ended June 30, 2009. The remaining goodwill on the Companys statement of
financial condition primarily relates to BankAtlantic Bancorps capital services reporting unit.
The goodwill associated with this reporting unit was determined not to be impaired as of June 30,
2009. In determining the fair value of the reporting units, BankAtlantic Bancorp used discounted
cash flow valuation techniques. This method requires assumptions for expected cash flows and
applicable discount rates. The aggregate fair value of all reporting units derived from the above
valuation methodology was compared to BankAtlantic Bancorps market capitalization adjusted for a
control premium in order to determine the reasonableness of the financial model output. A control
premium represents the value an investor would pay above minority interest transaction prices in
order to obtain a controlling interest in the respective company. BankAtlantic Bancorp used
financial projections over a period of time considered necessary to achieve a steady state of cash
flows for each reporting unit. The primary assumptions in the projections were anticipated loan,
tax certificates and securities growth, interest rates and revenue growth. The discount rates were
estimated based on the Capital Asset
16
Table of Contents
Pricing Model, which considers the risk-free interest rate, market risk premium, beta, and
unsystematic risk and size premium adjustments specific to a particular reporting unit. The
estimated fair value of a reporting unit is highly sensitive to changes in the discount rate and
terminal value assumptions and, accordingly, minor changes in these assumptions could impact
significantly the fair value assigned to a reporting unit. Future potential changes in these
assumptions may impact the estimated fair value of a reporting unit and cause the fair value of a
reporting unit to be below its carrying value. As a result of the significant judgments used in
determining the fair value of the reporting units, the fair values of the reporting units are
considered a Level 3 valuation.

Management has made estimates of fair value that it believes to be reasonable. However,
because there is no active market for many of these financial instruments and management has
derived the fair value of the majority of these financial instruments using the income approach
technique with Level 3 unobservable inputs, there is no assurance that the Company would receive
the estimated value upon sale or disposition of the asset or pay estimated value upon disposition
of the liability in advance of its scheduled maturity. Management estimates used in its net present
value financial models rely on assumptions and judgments regarding issues where the outcome is
unknown and actual results or values may differ significantly from these estimates. The Companys
fair value estimates do not consider the tax effect that would be associated with the disposition
of the assets or liabilities at their fair value estimates.
Fair values are estimated for loan portfolios with similar financial characteristics. Loans
are segregated by category, and each loan category is further segmented into fixed and adjustable
interest rate categories and into performing and non-performing categories.
The fair value of performing loans is calculated by using an income approach with Level 3
inputs. The fair value of performing loans is estimated by discounting forecasted cash flows
through the estimated maturity using estimated market discount rates that reflect the interest rate
risk inherent in the loan portfolio. The estimate of average maturity is based on BankAtlantics
historical experience with prepayments for each loan classification, modified as required, by an
estimate of the effect of current economic and lending conditions. Management assigns a credit risk
premium and an illiquidity adjustment to these loans based on risk grades and delinquency status.
The fair value of tax certificates was calculated using the income approach with Level 3
inputs. The fair value was based on discounted expected cash flows using discount rates that take
into account the risk of the cash flows of tax certificates relative to alternative investments.
The fair value of Federal Home Loan Bank stock is its carrying amount.

Table of Contents
The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as non-interest bearing demand
deposits, savings and NOW accounts, and money market and checking accounts, is considered the same
as book value. The fair value of certificates of deposit is based on an income approach with Level
3 inputs. The fair value is calculated by the discounted value of contractual cash flows with the
discount rate estimated using current rates offered by BankAtlantic for similar remaining
maturities.
The fair value of short term borrowings was calculated using the income approach with Level 2
inputs. The Company discounts contractual cash flows based on current interest rates. The carrying
value of these borrowings approximates fair value as maturities are generally less than thirty
days.
The fair value of FHLB advances was calculated using the income approach with Level 2 inputs.
The fair value was based on discounted cash flows using rates offered for debt with comparable
terms to maturity and issuer credit standing.
The fair values of subordinated debentures and mortgage and notes payable were based on
discounted values of contractual cash flows at a credit adjusted market discount rate.
The fair value on $57.1 million of junior subordinated debentures was obtained from NASDAQ
price quotes as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008. The fair value of the remaining junior
subordinated debentures was obtained using a market approach by obtaining price quotes from other
obligors that we believe may have similar risk profiles in the market (Level 3).
Concentration of Credit Risk
BankAtlantic purchases residential loans located throughout the country. The majority of these
residential loans are jumbo residential loans. A jumbo loan has a principal amount above the
industry-standard definition of conventional conforming loan limits. These loans could potentially
have outstanding loan balances significantly higher than related collateral values in distressed
areas of the country as a result of real estate value declines in the housing market. Also,
included in this purchased residential loan portfolio are interest-only loans. These loans result
in possible future increases in a borrowers loan payments when the contractually required
repayments increase due to interest rate movement and the required amortization of the principal
amount. These payment increases could affect a borrowers ability to meet the debt service on or
repay the loan and lead to increased defaults and losses. At June 30, 2009, BankAtlantics
residential loan portfolio included $895.3 million of interest-only loans with 29% of the principal
amount of these loans secured by collateral located in California. BankAtlantic manages this credit
risk by purchasing interest-only loans originated to borrowers that it believes to be credit
worthy, with loan-to-value and total debt to income ratios at origination within agency guidelines.
BankAtlantic has a high concentration of consumer home equity and commercial loans in the
State of Florida. Real estate values and general economic conditions have significantly
deteriorated from the origination dates of the loans. If the market conditions in Florida do not
improve or deteriorate further BankAtlantic may be exposed to significant credit losses.

5. 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, types of customers, distribution systems or regulatory environments.
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 operates through five reportable segments, which are: BFC Activities,
BankAtlantic, BankAtlantic Bancorp Other Operations, Land Division and Woodbridge Other Operations.
The Companys financial services activities include BankAtlantic Bancorps results of operations
and consist of two reportable segments, which are: BankAtlantic and BankAtlantic Bancorp Other
Operations. The Companys real estate development activities include Woodbridges results of
operations and consist of two reportable segments, which are: Land Division and Woodbridge Other
Operations.
The Company evaluates segment performance based on net income (loss) net of tax and
noncontrolling interests.
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.
The BFC Activities segment includes dividends from BFCs investment in Benihanas convertible
preferred stock and income and expenses associated with shared service operations in the areas of
human resources, risk management, investor relations and executive office administration and other
services that BFC provides to BankAtlantic Bancorp and Woodbridge pursuant to shared services
agreements. Additionally, BFC provides certain risk management and
19
Table of Contents
administrative services to Bluegreen. This segment also includes BFCs overhead and expenses,
the financial results of venture partnerships that BFC controls and BFCs benefit for income taxes.
BankAtlantic
The Companys BankAtlantic segment consists of the banking operations of BankAtlantic.
BankAtlantic Bancorp Other Operations
The BankAtlantic Bancorp Other Operations segment consists of the operations of BankAtlantic
Bancorp other than the banking operations of BankAtlantic, including cost of acquisitions, asset
and capital management and financing activities. Additionally, effective March 31, 2008, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of BankAtlantic Bancorp purchased non-performing loans from BankAtlantic.
As a consequence BankAtlantic Bancorp Other Operations activities include managing this portfolio
of loans and real estate owned.
Land Division
The Companys Land Division segment consists of Core Communities operations.
Woodbridge Other Operations
The Woodbridge Other Operations segment consists of Woodbridge Holdings Corporations
operations, the operations of Pizza Fusion and Carolina Oak, and other investment activities
through Cypress Creek Capital and Snapper Creek. Woodbridges equity investment in Bluegreen and
its investment in Office Depot are also included in the Woodbridge Other Operations segment.

6. Acquisition
On September 18, 2008, Woodbridge, indirectly through its wholly-owned subsidiary, PF Program
Partnership, LP (formerly Woodbridge Equity Fund II LP), purchased for an aggregate of $3.0
million, 2,608,696 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred
Stock of Pizza Fusion, together with warrants to
purchase up to 1,500,000 additional shares of Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock of Pizza Fusion at an exercise price of $1.44 per share. Woodbridge also received options,
exercisable on or prior to September 18, 2009, to purchase up to 521,740 additional shares of
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of Pizza Fusion at a price of $1.15 per share, which options,
if exercised, entitled Woodbridge to also receive warrants to purchase up to 300,000 additional
shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of Pizza Fusion at an exercise price of $1.44 per
share. On July 2, 2009, Woodbridge exercised its option to purchase 521,740 shares of Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock of Pizza Fusion at a price of $1.15 per share or an aggregate purchase
price of $600,000. Upon the exercise of the option, Woodbridge was also granted warrants to
purchase up to 300,000 additional shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of Pizza Fusion at
an exercise price of $1.44 per share. The warrants have a term of 10 years, subject to earlier
expiration under certain circumstances.
Pizza Fusion is a restaurant franchise which was founded in 2006 and which operates in a niche
market within the quick service and organic food industries. As of June 30, 2009, Pizza Fusion was
operating 20 locations throughout the United States and had entered into franchise agreements to
open an additional 9 stores by February 2010.
During 2008, Woodbridge evaluated its investment in Pizza Fusion under FASB Interpretation No.
46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN No. 46(R)), and determined that Pizza
Fusion is a variable interest entity. Pizza Fusion is in its early stages and will likely require
additional financial support for its normal operations and further expansion of its franchise
operations. Furthermore, on a fully diluted basis, Woodbridges investment represents a
significant interest in Pizza Fusion and, therefore, Woodbridge is expected to bear the majority of
the variability of the risks and rewards of Pizza Fusion. Additionally, as shareholder of the
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, Woodbridge has control over the Board of Directors of Pizza
Fusion. Based upon these factors, Woodbridge concluded that it is the primary beneficiary.
Accordingly, under purchase accounting, the assets and liabilities of Pizza Fusion are consolidated
in accordance with Statement of SFAS No. 141 Business
Combinations. However, the assets of Pizza
Fusion are not available to Woodbridge.
Woodbridge recorded $5.5 million in other intangible assets, including $1.1 million in
goodwill related to its investment in Pizza Fusion. The intangible assets consist primarily of the
value of franchise agreements that had been executed by Pizza Fusion at the acquisition date. These
intangible assets will be amortized over the length of the franchise agreements which is generally
10 years.
7. Discontinued Operations
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 certain defined revenues generated by Ryan Beck during the
two-year period which ended on February 28, 2009. The contingent earn-out payments were accounted
for when earned as additional proceeds from the sale. BankAtlantic Bancorp received additional
earn-out consideration of $1.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2008 and recognized
$4.2 million of additional earn-out consideration during the six months ended June 30, 2009.

On November 9, 2007, Woodbridge implemented an employee fund and indicated that it would pay
up to $5.0 million of severance benefits to terminated Levitt and Sons employees to supplement the
limited termination
26
Table of Contents
benefits which Levitt and Sons was permitted to pay 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.
The
severance related and benefits accrual includes severance payments,
payroll taxes and other benefits related to the termination of Levitt and Sons
employees as well as other employees of Woodbridge, that occurred in 2007 as part of the Chapter 11 Cases. Woodbridge did not incur any
significant severance and benefits related restructuring charges in the three months ended June 30,
2009, while, during the three months ended June 30, 2008, incurred charges of approximately
$816,000. During the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, Woodbridge incurred severance and
benefits related restructuring charges of approximately $82,000 and $2.0 million, respectively.
For the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, Woodbridge paid approximately $79,000 and $1.2
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. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and
2008, these payments amounted to approximately $211,000 and $2.7 million, respectively. Employees
entitled to participate in the fund either received a payment stream, which in certain cases
extended 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.
The facilities accrual as of June 30, 2009 represents expense associated with property and
equipment leases that Woodbridge had entered into that are no longer providing a benefit to
Woodbridge, as well as termination fees related to contractual obligations that Woodbridge
cancelled. 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 $93,000 and $173,000 for
the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Total cash payments related to the
facilities accrual were $186,000 and $259,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively.
The independent contractor agreements accrual relates to two consulting agreements entered
into by Woodbridge with former Levitt and Sons employees. The total commitment related to these
agreements as of June 30, 2009 was approximately $248,000 and will be paid monthly through December
2009. During the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company paid $182,000 and $206,000,
respectively, under these agreements. During the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the
Company paid $388,000 and $412,000, respectively, under these agreements.
As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, Woodbridge had $1.1 million in surety bonds accrual
related to certain bonds where Woodbridges management believes it to be probable that Woodbridge
will be required to reimburse the surety under applicable indemnity agreements. Woodbridge did not
reimburse any amounts during the three months ended June 30,
2009 while it reimbursed approximately
$367,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2008 in accordance with the indemnity agreement for
bond claims paid during the period. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, Woodbridge
reimbursed the surety approximately $37,000 and $532,000, respectively. It is unclear 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 in excess of the $1.1 million
accrual. Woodbridge will not receive any repayment, assets or other consideration as recovery of
any amounts it may be required to pay. (See Note 17).

BFC Benihana Investment
The Company owns 800,000 shares of Benihana Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (Convertible
Preferred Stock). The Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into an aggregate of 1,578,943
shares of Benihanas Common Stock at a conversion price of $12.67 per share of Convertible
Preferred Stock, subject to adjustment from time to time upon certain defined events. Based on the
number of currently outstanding shares of Benihanas capital stock, the Convertible Preferred
Stock, if converted, would represent an approximately 19% voting interest and an approximately 9%
economic interest in Benihana. Holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to receive
cumulative quarterly dividends at an annual rate equal to $1.25 per share, payable on the last day
of each calendar quarter. The Convertible Preferred Stock is subject to mandatory redemption at the
original issue price plus accumulated dividends on July 2, 2014 unless BFC elects to extend the
mandatory redemption date to a later date not to extend beyond July 2, 2024. At June 30, 2009, the
closing price of Benihanas Common Stock was $7.05 per share. The market value of the Convertible
Preferred Stock if converted to Benihanas Common Stock at June 30, 2009 would have been
approximately $11.1 million.
In December 2008, the Company performed an impairment review of its investment in the
Convertible Preferred Stock to determine if an impairment adjustment was needed. Based on the
evaluation and the review of various qualitative and quantitative factors, including the decline in
the underlying trading value of Benihanas Common Stock at December 31, 2008 and the redemption
provisions of the Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company determined that there was an
other-than-temporary decline of approximately $3.6 million and, accordingly, the investment was
written down to its fair value of approximately $16.4 million at December 31, 2008. Concurrent with
managements evaluation of the impairment of this investment at December 31, 2008, it made the
determination to reclassify this investment from investment securities to investment securities
available for sale. At June 30, 2009, the Companys fair value of its investments in Benihanas
Convertible Preferred Stock was approximately $20.5 million which includes a gross unrealized gain
of approximately $4.1 million. BFC will continue to monitor this investment to determine whether
any further other-than-temporary impairment may be required in future periods. The fair value of
the Companys investment in Benihanas Convertible Preferred Stock was assessed using the income
approach with Level 3 inputs by discounting future cash flows at a market discount rate combined
with the fair value of the underlying shares, as if converted, that BFC owns in Benihanas
Convertible Preferred Stock.
See Note 18 for additional information concerning the Benihana Convertible Preferred Stock.
Office Depot Investment
At June 30, 2009, Woodbridge owned approximately 1.4 million shares of Office Depots common
stock, representing less than 1% of Office Depots outstanding common stock as of that date. This
investment is reviewed quarterly for other-than-temporary impairments in accordance with FSP FAS
115-1/FAS 124-1 and is accounted for under the available-for-sale method of accounting whereby any
unrealized holding gains or losses are included in equity.
During the quarters ended December 31, 2008, March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009, Woodbridge
performed impairment analyses of its investment in Office Depot. The impairment analyses included
an evaluation of, among other things, qualitative and quantitative factors relating to the
performance of Office Depot and its stock price. As a result of these evaluations, Woodbridge
determined that other-than-temporary impairment charges were required at December 31, 2008 and
March 31, 2009 and recorded a $12.0 million impairment charge relating to its investment in Office
Depot in the three months ended December 31, 2008 and an additional $2.4 million impairment charge
in the three months ended March 31, 2009. Based on its impairment evaluation performed during the
quarter ended June 30, 2009, Woodbridge determined that its investment in Office Depot was not
impaired at June 30, 2009.

Real estate held for development and sale includes the combined real estate assets of
Woodbridge and its subsidiaries as well as BankAtlantics residential construction development.
Also included in other real estate held for development and sale in the Companys Consolidated
Statements of Financial Condition is BFCs unsold land at the commercial development known as
Center Port in Pompano Beach, Florida.
Real estate inventory is reviewed for impairment on a project-by-project basis. Long-lived
assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used
is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated future undiscounted
cash flows expected to be generated by the asset, or by using appraisals of the related assets. If
the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future undiscounted cash flows, an impairment
charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair
value.
12. Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates
At June 30, 2009, Woodbridge owned approximately 9.5 million shares of Bluegreens common
stock representing approximately 31% of Bluegreens outstanding common stock. Woodbridge accounts
for its investment in Bluegreen under the equity method of accounting. The cost of the Bluegreen
investment is adjusted to recognize Woodbridges interest in Bluegreens earnings or losses. The
difference between a) Woodbridges ownership percentage in Bluegreen multiplied by its earnings and
b) the amount of Woodbridges equity in earnings of Bluegreen as reflected in Woodbridges
financial statements relates to the amortization or accretion of purchase accounting adjustments
made at the time of the acquisition of Bluegreens common stock and a basis difference due to
impairment charges recorded on Woodbridges investment in Bluegreen, as described below.
During 2008, Woodbridge began evaluating its investment in Bluegreen on a quarterly basis for
other-than-temporary impairments, and these evaluations generally include an analysis of various
quantitative and qualitative factors relating to the performance of Bluegreen and its stock price.
Woodbridge values Bluegreens common stock using a market approach valuation technique and Level 1
valuation inputs. Based on the results of its evaluations during the quarters ended September 30,
2008, December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009, Woodbridge determined that other-than-temporary
impairments were necessary for those periods. As a result, Woodbridge recorded impairment charges
of $53.6 million, $40.8 million and $20.4 million during the quarters ended September 30, 2008,
December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009, respectively. Based on its impairment evaluation performed
during the quarter ended June 30, 2009, Woodbridge determined that its investment in Bluegreen was
not impaired at June 30, 2009. As of June 30, 2009, the carrying value of Woodbridges investment
in Bluegreen was $28.6 million.
As a result of the impairment charges taken at September 30, 2008, December 31, 2008 and March
31, 2009, a basis difference was created between Woodbridges investment in Bluegreen and the
underlying assets and liabilities carried on the books of Bluegreen. Therefore, earnings from
Bluegreen will be adjusted each period to reflect the amortization of this basis difference. As
such, Woodbridge established an allocation methodology by which Woodbridge allocated the impairment
loss to the relative fair value of Bluegreens underlying assets based upon the position that the
impairment loss was a reflection of the perceived value of these underlying assets. The
appropriate amortization will be calculated based on the useful lives of the underlying assets and
other relevant data associated with each asset category. As such, the amortization for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2009 of approximately $8.6 million and $13.9 million, respectively,
was recorded into Woodbridges pro rata share of Bluegreens net income.

13. Goodwill
Goodwill is tested for potential impairment annually or during interim periods if impairment
indicators exist. In response to the deteriorating economic and real estate environments and the
effects that the external
environment had on BankAtlantics business units, BankAtlantic, in the first quarter of 2009,
continued to reduce its
33
Table of Contents
asset balances with a view toward strengthening its regulatory capital
ratios and revised its projected operating results to reflect a smaller organization in
subsequent periods. Additionally, BankAtlantic Bancorps market capitalization continued to
decline as the average closing price of BankAtlantic Bancorps Class A common stock on the NYSE
for the month of March 2009 was $1.57 compared to $4.23 for the month of December 2008, a decline
of 63%. Management of BankAtlantic Bancorp believed that the foregoing factors indicated that the
fair value of its reporting units might have declined below their carrying amount, and,
accordingly, an interim goodwill impairment test was performed as of March 31, 2009.
Based on the results of the interim goodwill impairment evaluation, an impairment charge of
$8.5 million, net of purchase accounting adjustment from step acquisition of approximately $0.6
million, was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2009. The entire amount of goodwill
relating to BankAtlantics tax certificate ($4.7 million) and investment ($4.4 million) reporting
units was determined to be impaired. Goodwill of $13.1 million associated with BankAtlantics
capital services reporting unit was determined not to be impaired. Management did not perform a
goodwill impairment test as of June 30, 2009 as there were no significant changes in impairment
indicators during the three months ended June 30, 2009.
BankAtlantic Bancorps management believes that the goodwill impairment recorded during 2009
generally reflects the ongoing adverse conditions in the financial services industry, as well as
the decline of BankAtlantic Bancorps market capitalization below its tangible book value and
BankAtlantic Bancorps decision to reduce the size of certain reporting units in order to enhance
liquidity and improve its regulatory capital ratios. If market conditions do not improve or
deteriorate further, additional goodwill impairment charges may be recognized in future periods.
14. Debt and Development Bonds Payable
Certain of Cores debt facilities contain financial covenants generally requiring certain net
worth, liquidity and loan to value ratios. Further, certain of 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 its cash to pay its debt and reduce its ability
to use its cash to fund its operations. If Core does not have sufficient cash to satisfy these
required payments, then Core would need to seek to refinance the debt or obtain alternative funds,
which may not be available on attractive terms, if at all. In the event that Core is unable to
refinance its debt or obtain additional funds, it may default on some or all of its existing debt
facilities.
The following table summarizes Woodbridges outstanding notes and mortgage notes payable
(which includes Cores outstanding notes and mortgage notes payable) at June 30, 2009 and December
31, 2008. These notes accrue interest at fixed rates and variable rates tied to the Prime Rate

(a) | Core has a credit agreement with a financial institution which provides for borrowings of up to $64.3 million. The credit agreement had an original maturity date of June 26, 2009 and a variable interest rate of 30-day LIBOR plus 170 basis points or Prime Rate. During June 2009, the loan agreement was modified to extend the maturity date to June 2012. The loan, as modified, bears interest at a fixed interest rate of 5.5%. The terms of |
34
Table of Contents
the modification also required Core to pledge approximately 10 acres of additional collateral. The new terms of the loan also include a debt service coverage ratio covenant of 1.10:1 and the elimination of a loan to value covenant. As of June 30, 2009, the loan had an outstanding balance of $58.3 million. | ||
(b) | In January of 2009, Core was advised by one of its lenders that the lender had received an external appraisal on the land that serves as collateral for a development mortgage note payable, which had an outstanding balance of $86.4 million at June 30, 2009. The appraised value would suggest the potential for a re-margining payment to bring the note payable back in line with the minimum loan-to-value requirement. The lender is conducting its internal review procedures, including the determination of the appraised value. As of the date of this filing, Core is in discussions with the lender to restructure the loan which may eliminate any re-margining requirements; however, there is no assurance that these discussions will be successful or that re-margining payments will not otherwise be required in the future. |
In connection with the development of certain of Cores 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, 2009 and December 31, 2008 consisted of district bonds
totaling $218.7 million at each of these dates with outstanding amounts of approximately $143.6
million and $130.5 million, respectively. Further, at June 30, 2009, approximately $68.4 million
were available under these bonds to fund future development expenditures. Bond obligations at June
30, 2009 mature in 2035 and 2040. As of June 30, 2009, 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
months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, Core recorded approximately $158,000 and $163,000,
respectively, in assessments on property owned by it in the districts. During the six months ended
June 30, 2009 and 2008, Core recorded approximately $317,000 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. 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, Woodbridge 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 each of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the liability
related to developer obligations associated with Cores ownership of the property was $3.3 million.
This liability is included in the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of financial
condition as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

16. Woodbridge Incentive Compensation Program
On September 29, 2008, Woodbridges Board of Directors approved the terms of an incentive
program for certain of Woodbridges employees including certain of Woodbridges executive officers,
pursuant to which a portion of their compensation will be based on the cash returns realized by
Woodbridge on its existing investments and new investments designated by Woodbridges Board. It is
anticipated that Woodbridges investments will be held by individual limited partnerships or other
legal entities which will be the basis for incentives granted under the programs. Woodbridges
executive officers may have interests tied both to the performance of a particular investment as
well as interests relating to the performance of the portfolio of investments as a whole.
Woodbridge believes that the program appropriately aligns payments to the executive officer
participants and other participating employees with the performance of Woodbridges investments.
In accordance with SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123R),
Woodbridge has determined that the new executive incentive program qualifies as a liability-based
plan and, accordingly, was required to evaluate the components of the program to determine the fair
value of the liability, if any, to be recorded. Based on its evaluation, Woodbridge determined
that the liability for compensation under the executive compensation program as of June 30, 2009
was not material.

BFC Activities
On March 31, 2008, BFC sold its membership interests in two of its indirect subsidiaries which
owned two South Florida shopping centers to an unaffiliated third party. In connection with the
sale of the membership interests, BFC was relieved of its guarantee related to the loans
collateralized by the shopping centers, and BFC believes that any possible remaining obligations
are both remote and immaterial.
At June 30, 2009, a wholly-owned subsidiary of BFC/CCC, Inc. (BFC/CCC), had a 10% interest
in a limited partnership as a non-managing general partner. The partnership owns an office building
located in Boca Raton, Florida. In connection with the purchase of such office building in March
2006, 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 $6.0 million (which is shared on a joint and several basis with the managing
general partner), representing approximately 26.4% of the current indebtedness of the property,
with the guarantee to be partially reduced in the future based upon the performance of the
property. In July 2009, BFC/CCCs wholly-owned subsidiary withdrew as partner of the limited
partnership and transferred its 10% interest to another partner. In return, the partner to whom
this interest was assigned agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the release of
BFC/CCC from the guarantee, and if the partner is unable to secure such a release, that partner has
agreed to indemnify BFC/CCCs wholly-owned subsidiary for any losses that may arise under the
guarantee after the date of the assignment.
36
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 in November 2006, 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 19.3% 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 in June 2007, 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 amounts for the obligations associated with the above guarantees (including the
transaction associated with the transfer of BFC/CCCs wholly-owned subsidiarys 10% ownership
interest) recorded in the Companys financial statements based on the value of the assets
collateralizing the indebtedness, the potential indemnification by unaffiliated members and the
limit of the specific obligations to non-financial matters.
Other than these guarantees, the remaining instruments indicated in the above table are direct
commitments of BankAtlantic Bancorp or Woodbridge.
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 $11.0 million at June 30, 2009. 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 $5.9
million at June 30, 2009. 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, 2009 and December 31,
2008 was $12,000 and $20,000, respectively, of unearned guarantee fees. There were no obligations
associated with these guarantees recorded in the financial statements.
Real Estate Development
At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, Woodbridge had outstanding surety bonds of
approximately $5.4 million and $8.2 million, respectively, which were related primarily to its
obligations to various governmental entities to construct improvements in its various communities.
Woodbridge estimates that approximately $1.1 million of work remains to complete these improvements
and does not believe that any outstanding surety bonds 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 $11.7 million plus costs and expenses in
accordance with the surety indemnity agreements executed by Woodbridge. At each of June 30, 2009
and December 31, 2008, Woodbridge had $1.1 million in surety bonds accrual related to certain bonds
where management believes it to be probable that Woodbridge will be required to reimburse the
surety under applicable indemnity agreements. Woodbridge did not reimburse any amounts during the
three months ended June 30, 2009 and reimbursed approximately $367,000 during the three months
ended June 30, 2008 in accordance with the indemnity agreement for bond claims paid during the
period. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, Woodbridge reimbursed the surety
approximately $37,000 and $532,000, respectively. It is unclear 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 in excess of the $1.1 million accrual.
Woodbridge will not receive any repayment, assets or other consideration as recovery of any amounts
it

may be required to pay. In September 2008, a surety filed a lawsuit to require Woodbridge to
post collateral against a portion of its aggregate $11.7 million surety bonds exposure relating to
two bonds totaling $5.4 million after a municipality made claims against the surety. Woodbridge
believes that the municipality does not have the right to demand payment under the bonds and
initiated a lawsuit against the municipality. Because Woodbridge does not believe a loss is
probable, Woodbridge did not accrue any amount in connection with this claim as of June 30, 2009.
As claims have been made on the bonds, the surety requested that Woodbridge post a $4.0 million
letter of credit as security while the matter is litigated with the municipality and Woodbridge has
complied with that request.
At June 30, 2009, Woodbridge had $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.
18. Redeemable 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock
On June 7, 2004, the Board of Directors of the Company designated 15,000 shares of preferred
stock as 5% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (5% Preferred Stock) and set the relative
rights, preferences and limitations of the 5% Preferred Stock. On June 21, 2004, the Company sold
all 15,000 shares of the Preferred Stock to an investor group in a private offering. On December
17, 2008, the Company amended Article IV of the Companys Amended and Restated Articles of
Incorporation (the Amendment) to change certain of the previously designated relative rights,
preferences and limitations of the Companys 5% Preferred Stock. The Amendment eliminated the right
of the holders of the 5% Preferred Stock to convert their shares of 5% Preferred Stock into shares
of the Companys Class A Common Stock. The Amendment also requires the Company to redeem shares of
the 5% Preferred Stock with the net proceeds it receives in the event (i) the Company sells any of
its shares of Benihanas Convertible Preferred Stock, (ii) the Company sells any shares of
Benihanas Common Stock received upon conversion of the Benihana Convertible Preferred Stock or
(iii) Benihana redeems any shares of the Benihana Convertible Preferred Stock owned by the Company.
Additionally, in the event the Company defaults on its obligation to make dividend payments on the
5% Preferred Stock, the Amendment entitles the holders of the 5% Preferred Stock, in place of the
Company, to receive directly from Benihana certain payments on the shares of Benihanas Convertible
Preferred Stock owned by the Company or on the shares of Benihanas Common Stock received by the
Company upon conversion of Benihanas Convertible Preferred Stock.
Effective with the Amendment in December 2008, the Company determined that the 5% Preferred
Stock met the requirements to be re-classified outside of permanent equity at its fair value at the
Amendment date of approximately $11.0 million into the mezzanine category as Redeemable 5%
Cumulative Preferred Stock and the remaining amount of approximately $4.0 million remained
classified in Additional Paid in Capital in the Companys Consolidated Statements of Financial
Condition. The fair value of the 5% Preferred Stock was obtained by using an income approach by
discounting estimated cash flows at a market discount rate.
The 5% Preferred Stock has a stated value of $1,000 per share. The shares of 5% Preferred
Stock may be redeemed at the option of the Company, from time to time, at redemption prices (the
Redemption Price) ranging from $1,030 per share for the year 2009 to $1,000 per share for the
year 2015 and thereafter. The 5% Preferred Stock liquidation preference is equal to its stated
value of $1,000 per share plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends or an amount equal to the
Redemption Price in a voluntary liquidation or winding up of the Company. Holders of the 5%
Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Companys Board of Directors,
cumulative quarterly cash dividends on each such share 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% Preferred Stock of $187,500 on a quarterly basis. The 5% Preferred Stock has no voting
rights except as required by Florida law.
19. Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions

the Companys Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Alan B. Levan, and by the Companys
Vice Chairman, John E. Abdo, both of whom are also directors of the Company and Bluegreen, and
executive officers and directors of Woodbridge, BankAtlantic Bancorp and BankAtlantic. Mr. Abdo is
also Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of Benihana and since June 2009, Mr. Levan also serves

Additionally, BFC provides certain risk management and administrative services to Bluegreen. The costs of shared services are allocated based upon the usage of the respective services. Also, as part of the shared service arrangement, BFC pays BankAtlantic Bancorp and Bluegreen for office facilities costs relating to BFC and its shared service operations. | |
In May 2009, BFC and BFC Shared Service Corporation (BFC Shared Service), a wholly-owned subsidiary of BFC, amended the terms of the office lease agreements with BankAtlantic under which BFC and BFC Shared Service agreed to pay BankAtlantic an annual rent of approximately $304,000 for office space in BankAtlantics corporate headquarters. In May 2009, BFC also amended the terms of the office sub-lease agreement with Woodbridge for office space in BankAtlantics corporate headquarters pursuant to which Woodbridge agreed to pay BFC an annual rent of approximately $141,000. All above mentioned lease agreements were originally entered into in May 2008. | ||
(b) | BFC and Woodbridge entered into securities sold under agreements to repurchase transactions with BankAtlantic in the aggregate of approximately $6.3 million and $4.7 million at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. These transactions have similar terms as BankAtlantics agreements with unaffiliated parties. As of June 30, 2009, BankAtlantic facilitated the placement of $51.8 million of certificates of deposit insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the FDIC) with other insured depository institutions on Woodbridges behalf through the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (CDARS) program. The CDARS program facilitates the placement of funds into certificates of deposit issued by other financial institutions in increments of less than the standard FDIC insurance maximum to insure that both principal and interest are eligible for full FDIC insurance coverage. At June 30, 2009, Woodbridges placements under the CDARS program with maturity dates of less than 3 months totaled $1.9 million, while placements with maturity dates or more than 3 months totaled $49.9 million. |

In March 2008, Woodbridge entered into an agreement with BankAtlantic, pursuant to which
BankAtlantic agreed to house Woodbridges information technology servers and provide information
technology support in exchange for monthly payments by Woodbridge to BankAtlantic. During the six
months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, Woodbridge paid BankAtlantic approximately $70,000 and
$30,000, respectively, under this agreement.
Woodbridge is currently working with Bluegreen to explore avenues for assisting Bluegreen in
obtaining liquidity for its receivables, which may include, among other potential alternatives,
Woodbridge forming a broker dealer to raise capital through private or public offerings, among
other things. Bluegreen has agreed to reimburse Woodbridge for certain expenses, including legal
and professional fees incurred in connection with this effort. As of June 30, 2009, Woodbridge was
reimbursed approximately $602,000 from Bluegreen and has additionally recorded a receivable of
approximately $481,000.
BankAtlantic Bancorp in prior periods issued options to purchase shares of BankAtlantic
Bancorps Class A common stock to employees of Woodbridge prior to the spin-off of Woodbridge to
BankAtlantic Bancorps shareholders. Additionally, certain employees of BankAtlantic Bancorp have
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.
Outstanding options held by former employees consisted of the following as of June 30, 2009:
BankAtlantic Bancorp | ||||||||
Class A | Weighted | |||||||
Common | Average | |||||||

In 2007 and 2006, BankAtlantic Bancorp issued to BFC employees that perform services for
BankAtlantic Bancorp options to acquire 9,800 and 10,060 shares of BankAtlantic Bancorps Class A
common stock at an exercise price of $46.90 and $73.45, respectively. These options vest in five
years and expire ten years from the grant date. BankAtlantic Bancorp recorded $12,000 and $25,000
of service provider expense relating to these options for the three and six months ended June 30,
2009, respectively, compared to $17,000 and $36,000 for the same periods in 2008.
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
controlling shareholder with beneficial ownership of approximately 44.6% of Florida Partners
Corporation and is also a member of its Board of Directors.
20. 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.

22. New Accounting Pronouncements
Effective July 1, 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168
(SFAS 168), The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162 (ASC) became the single official
source of authoritative, nongovernmental GAAP. The historical GAAP hierarchy was eliminated and the
ASC became the only level of authoritative GAAP, other than guidance issued by the SEC. All other
literature became non-authoritative. ASC is effective for financial statements issued for interim
and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of
SFAS 168 to have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 167, Amendments
to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) (SFAS 167). This statement amends certain requirements of FASB
Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. Among
other accounting and disclosure requirements, SFAS 167 replaces the quantitative-based risks and
rewards calculation for determining which enterprise has a controlling financial interest in a
variable interest entity with an approach focused on identifying which enterprise has the power to
direct the activities of a variable interest entity and the obligation to absorb losses of the
entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity. SFAS 167 will be effective for the Company
beginning January 1, 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that adoption of this
standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 166, Accounting
for Transfers of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140 (SFAS 166). This
statement increases the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about
a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its statement of financial condition,
financial performance and cash flows; and a continuing interest in transferred financial assets. In
addition, SFAS 166 amends various concepts addressed by FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities a replacement of
FASB Statement No. 125, including removing the concept of qualified special purpose entities. SFAS
166 must be applied to transfers occurring on or after the effective date. SFAS 166 will be
effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the
effect that adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

23. Litigation
Class Action 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 law 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 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 Exchange Act 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.
Surety Bond Claim
In September 2008, a surety filed a lawsuit to require Woodbridge to post $5.4 million of
collateral relating to two bonds totaling $5.4 million after a municipality made claims against the
surety. Woodbridge believes that the municipality does not have the right to demand payment under
the bonds and initiated a lawsuit against the municipality. Because Woodbridge does not believe a
loss is probable, Woodbridge did not accrue any amount related to this claim as of June 30, 2009.
As claims have been made on the bonds, the surety requested Woodbridge post a $4.0 million letter
of credit as security while the matter is litigated with the municipality and Woodbridge has
complied with that request.
General Litigation
In the ordinary course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are parties to lawsuits
as plaintiff or defendant involving its bank operations, lending, tax certificates activities and
real estate development activities. Although the Company and its subsidiaries believe it has
meritorious defenses in all current legal actions, the outcome of the various legal actions is
uncertain. 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.
24. Bankruptcy 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 Woodbridges investment in subsidiary, was
reflected as a single amount on the Companys consolidated statements of financial condition as a
$55.2 million liability as of December 31, 2008. 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. During the fourth quarter of 2008, Woodbridge identified approximately $2.3
million of deferred revenue on intercompany sales between Core and Carolina Oak that had been
misclassified against the negative investment in Levitt and Sons. As a result, Woodbridge recorded
a $2.3 million reclassification in the fourth quarter of 2008 between inventory of real estate and
the loss in excess of investment in subsidiary in the consolidated statements of financial
condition. As a result, as of December 31, 2008, the net negative investment was $52.9 million.
On June 27, 2008, Woodbridge entered into a settlement agreement (the Settlement Agreement)
with the Debtors and the Joint Committee of Unsecured Creditors (the Joint Committee) appointed
in the Chapter 11 Cases. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, among other things, (i) Woodbridge
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 agreed to waive and release
substantially all of the claims it had against the Debtors, including its administrative expense
claims through July 2008, and (iii) the Debtors (joined by the Joint Committee) agreed to
44
Table of Contents
waive and release any claims they had against Woodbridge and its affiliates. After certain of
Levitt and Sons creditors indicated that they objected to the terms of the Settlement Agreement
and stated a desire to pursue claims against Woodbridge, Woodbridge, the Debtors and the Joint
Committee entered into an amendment to the Settlement Agreement, pursuant to which Woodbridge
would, in lieu of the $12.5 million payment previously agreed to, pay $8 million to the Debtors
bankruptcy estates and place $4.5 million in a release fund to be disbursed to third party
creditors in exchange for a third party release and injunction. The amendment also provided for an
additional $300,000 payment by Woodbridge to a deposit holders fund. The Settlement Agreement, as
amended, was subject to a number of conditions, including the approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
As previously reported, on February 20, 2009, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming
a plan of liquidation jointly proposed by Levitt and Sons and the Joint Committee and approved the
settlement pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, as amended. No appeal for rehearing of the
Bankruptcy Courts order was timely filed by any party, and the settlement was consummated on March
3, 2009, at which time, payment was made in accordance with the terms and conditions of the
Settlement Agreement, as amended. Under cost method accounting, the cost of settlement and the
related $52.9 million liability (less $500,000 which was determined as the settlement holdback and
remained as an accrual pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, as amended) was recognized into income
in the quarter ended March 31, 2009, resulting in a $40.4 million gain on settlement of investment
in subsidiary. As a result, Woodbridge no longer holds an investment in this subsidiary.
25. Subsequent Events
Merger Agreement with Woodbridge
On July 2, 2009, the Company entered into a definitive merger agreement with Woodbridge.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the agreement, Woodbridge will become a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company and the holders of Woodbridges Class A Common Stock (other than BFC)
will receive 3.47 shares of BFCs Class A Common Stock for each share of Woodbridges Class A
Common Stock they hold at the effective time of the merger. BFC currently owns approximately 22% of
Woodbridges Class A Common Stock and all of Woodbridges Class B Common Stock, representing
approximately 59% of the total voting power of Woodbridge. The shares of Woodbridges common stock
held by BFC will be canceled in the merger.
The consummation of the merger is subject to a number of customary closing conditions,
including the approval of both BFCs and Woodbridges shareholders. The companies currently expect
to consummate the merger during the third quarter of 2009. If the merger is consummated,
Woodbridges separate corporate existence will cease and its Class A Common Stock will no longer be
publicly traded.
Additional Pizza Fusion Investment
On July 2, 2009, Woodbridge exercised its option to purchase 521,740 shares of Series B
Preferred Stock of Pizza Fusion at a price of $1.15 per share, or an aggregate purchase price of
$600,000. Upon the exercise of the option, Woodbridge was also granted warrants to purchase up to
300,000 additional shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of Pizza Fusion at an exercise
price of $1.44 per share. The warrants have a term of 10 years, subject to earlier expiration under
certain circumstances.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
and Results of Operations
Overview
The objective of the following discussion is to provide an understanding of the financial
condition and results of operations of BFC Financial Corporation (and its subsidiaries) for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.
BFC Financial Corporation (BFC, we, us, our or the Company) is a diversified holding
company whose major holdings include controlling interests in BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries (BankAtlantic Bancorp) and Woodbridge Holdings Corporation and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries (Woodbridge) and a noncontrolling interest in Benihana, Inc.
(Benihana), 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 (OTS).
Historically, BFCs business strategy has been to invest in and acquire businesses in diverse
industries either directly or through controlled subsidiaries. BFC believes that the best potential
for growth is likely through the growth of the companies it currently controls and its focus is to
provide overall support for its controlled subsidiaries with a view to the improved performance of
the organization as a whole.
The Companys primary activities relate to managing its investments. As of June 30, 2009, BFC
had total consolidated assets and liabilities of approximately $5.8 billion and $5.5 billion,
respectively, including the assets and liabilities of its consolidated subsidiaries, and equity of
approximately $325.9 million, which includes noncontrolling interests equity of approximately
$229.4 million.
We report our results of operations through five reportable segments, which are: BFC
Activities, BankAtlantic, BankAtlantic Bancorp Other Operations, Land Division and Woodbridge Other
Operations. The Financial Services division includes BankAtlantic Bancorps results of operations
and consists of two reportable segments, which are: BankAtlantic and BankAtlantic Bancorp Other
Operations. The Real Estate Development division includes Woodbridges results of operations and
consists of two reportable segments, which are: Land Division and Woodbridge Other Operations.
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.
BFCs ownership in BankAtlantic Bancorp and Woodbridge as of June 30, 2009 was as follows:

On July 2, 2009, the Company entered into a definitive merger agreement with Woodbridge.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the agreement, Woodbridge will become a wholly-owned
subsidiary of BFC and Woodbridges shareholders (other than BFC) will become shareholders of BFC.

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 dates 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 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 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 stock-based
compensation. For a more detailed discussion of these critical accounting policies see Critical
Accounting Policies appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2008.

Consolidated Financial Condition
Consolidated Assets and Liabilities
Total assets at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 were $5.8 billion and $6.4 billion,
respectively. The changes in components of total assets between June 30, 2009 and December 31,
2008 are summarized below:
| the decrease in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $7.1 million was primarily due to: (i) Woodbridges net decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $56.6 million, primarily related to cash used in operations and investments in time deposits of approximately $40.3 million and (ii) a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $3.3 million at BFC, which resulted from cash used in operations of approximately $3.1 million and cash used in financing activities of $375,000 associated with BFCs 5% Preferred Stock dividend payment. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was offset in part by higher cash balances at the Federal Reserve Bank associated with daily cash management activities at BankAtlantic. | ||
| a decrease in Woodbridges restricted cash of approximately $13.4 million mainly associated with the settlement payment made in connection with the bankruptcy of Levitt and Sons; | ||
| a decrease in securities available for sale reflecting BankAtlantics sale of $190.6 million of its mortgage-backed securities, as well as repayments associated with higher residential mortgage refinancing in response to low historical residential mortgage interest rates during the period; | ||
| a decrease in BankAtlantics tax certificate balances primarily due to redemptions and decreased tax certificate acquisitions compared to prior periods; | ||
| a decline in BankAtlantics FHLB stock related to lower FHLB advance borrowings; | ||
| higher residential loans held for sale at BankAtlantic primarily resulting from increased originations associated with residential mortgage refinancing; | ||
| a decrease in BankAtlantics loan receivable balances associated with repayments of residential loans in the normal course of business combined with a significant decline in loan purchases and originations; | ||
| a decrease in BankAtlantics accrued interest receivable primarily resulting from lower loan balances and a significant decline in interest rates; | ||
| an increase in BankAtlantics real estate owned associated with commercial real estate and residential loan foreclosures; and | ||
| a decrease in BankAtlantics goodwill associated with an $8.5 million impairment charge to goodwill, net of purchase accounting adjustment in the amount of $0.6 million. |
The Companys total liabilities at June 30, 2009 were $5.5 billion compared to $6.0 billion
at December 31, 2008. The changes in components of total liabilities from December 31, 2008 to
June 30, 2009 are summarized below:
| increased interest bearing deposit account balances at BankAtlantic associated with sales efforts and promotions of higher-yielding interest-bearing checking accounts partially offset by lower time deposits; | ||
| higher non-interest-bearing deposit balances at BankAtlantic primarily due to increased customer balances in checking accounts; | ||
| lower FHLB advances and short-term borrowings at BankAtlantic due to repayments using proceeds from the sale of securities, loan repayments and an increase in deposit account balances; | ||
| increase in BankAtlantic Bancorps junior subordinated debentures due to interest deferrals; and | ||
| a decrease of $52.9 million associated with Woodbridges reversal into income of the loss in excess of investment in Levitt and Sons as a result of the Bankruptcy Courts approval of the Levitt and Sons bankruptcy plan. |

The decrease in interest and dividend income during the three and six months ended June 30,
2009 as compared to the same period in 2008 was primarily related to lower interest rates and lower
average cash balances.
In 2008, securities activities of $103,000 related to a gain on the sale of securities that
were owned by a venture partnership that BFC controls.
The decrease in other income during the six months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the same
period in 2008 primarily related to BFC/CCCs gain in connection with the sale of its indirect
membership interests in limited liability companies during the quarter ended March 31, 2008. This
decrease in other income was partially offset by an increase in shared service revenues recognized
by BFC during the 2009 period. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, BFC/CCCs income
was approximately $64,000 and $1.3 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30,
2009 and 2008, shared service revenue was approximately $1.7 million and $1.4 million,
respectively. BFC also incurred similar expenses related to shared service operations during the
2009 and 2008 periods.

BFC Activities
The decrease in employee compensation and benefits during the second quarter of 2009 as
compared to the second quarter of 2008 was primarily due to lower stock compensation expense. The
decrease in employee compensation and benefits during the six months ended June 30, 2009 as
compared to the same period in 2008 was primarily due to the transfer of approximately seven
employees to Woodbridge during the quarter ended June 30, 2008, as well as lower incentive bonuses
accrual and stock compensation expense in the 2009 quarter.
The decrease in other expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same
periods in 2008 was primarily associated with lower recruiting fees and legal fees. This decrease
was partially offset by an increase in professional and consulting fees.
BFC Activities provision for income taxes is estimated to result in an effective tax rate of
0.0% in 2009. The 0.0% effective tax rate in 2009 is a result of BFC recording a valuation
allowance in September 2008 against its deferred tax assets (primarily resulting from BFCs net
operating loss (NOLs)) that are not expected to be recovered in the future. Due to losses in the
past and expected taxable losses in the foreseeable future, BFC may not have sufficient taxable
income of the appropriate character in the future to realize any portion of the net deferred tax
asset.
During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the results of BFC Activities included the benefit
for income taxes associated with our equity losses in Woodbridge and BankAtlantic Bancorp.
BFCs business strategy is to hold its investment in BankAtlantic Bancorp indefinitely.
Accordingly, based on the Companys change in intent in 2008 as to the expected manner of recovery
of its investment in BankAtlantic Bancorp, the Company reversed its deferred tax liability of $29.3
million during the quarter ended September 30, 2008.
Purchase Accounting
The acquisitions in 2008 and 2007 of additional shares purchased of BankAtlantic Bancorp and
Woodbridge, respectively, were accounted for as step acquisitions under the purchase method of
accounting. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities acquired were revalued to reflect market values
at the respective dates of acquisition. Accordingly, the discounts and premiums arising as a result
of such revaluation are generally being accreted or amortized over the remaining life of the assets
and liabilities. The net impact of such accretion, amortization and other purchase accounting
adjustments decreased our consolidated net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008
by approximately $91,000 and $65,000 respectively, and decreased our consolidated net loss for the
six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 by approximately $760,000 and $143,000 respectively.

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, if necessary, long-term secured and unsecured
indebtedness, and future issuances of equity and/or debt securities and the sale of assets.

BFC Activities
The primary sources of funds to the BFC Activities segment for the six months ended June 30,
2009 and 2008 (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 Benihanas Convertible Preferred Stock; | ||
| Venture partnership distributions; | ||
| Revenues from BFC/CCC in 2008; and | ||
| Dividends from BankAtlantic Bancorp until January 2009. |
Funds were primarily utilized by BFC to:
| Pay dividends on BFCs outstanding 5% Preferred Stock; and | ||
| Fund BFCs operating and general and administrative expenses, including shared services costs. |
The decrease in cash used in operating activities during 2009 compared to 2008 primarily
resulted from a reduction of operating and general administrative expenses. Investing activities
in 2009 and 2008 primarily related to distributions from unconsolidated subsidiaries. Financing
activities in 2009 and 2008 were primarily related to the 5% Preferred Stock dividends payment of
$375,000 for each period.
On October 24, 2006, the Companys Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to
1,750,000 shares of the Companys Class A Common Stock at an aggregate cost of no more than $10.0
million. In 2008, the Company repurchased in the open market an aggregate of 100,000 shares at an
average price of $0.54 per share. As a result of these shares repurchases, 1,650,000 shares of the
Companys Class A Common Stock remain available for repurchase under the plan. These remaining
shares may be repurchased in the open market or through private transactions. The timing and the
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 any or all of the
remaining shares in the future. No termination date was set for the repurchase program. It is
anticipated that any share repurchases would be funded through existing cash balances.
The Company does not expect to receive cash dividends from BankAtlantic Bancorp for the
foreseeable future.
Woodbridge has not paid any dividends since the first quarter of 2007, and 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.
On July 2, 2009, the Company entered into a definitive merger agreement with Woodbridge.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the agreement, Woodbridge will become a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company and the holders of Woodbridges Class A Common Stock (other than BFC)
will receive 3.47 shares of BFCs Class A Common Stock for each share of Woodbridges Class A
Common Stock they hold at the effective time of the merger. BFC currently owns approximately 22% of
Woodbridges Class A Common Stock and all of Woodbridges Class B Common Stock, representing
approximately 59% of the total voting power of Woodbridge. The shares of Woodbridges common stock
held by BFC will be canceled in the merger. The consummation of the merger is subject to a number
of customary closing conditions, including the approval of both BFCs and Woodbridges
shareholders. The companies currently expect to consummate the merger during the third quarter of
2009. If the merger is consummated, Woodbridges separate corporate existence will cease and its
Class A Common Stock will no longer be publicly traded. Consistent with our existing business and
investment strategies and operational plans, BFC intends to continue to allocate resources within
the consolidated group (including, following the merger, the cash currently held at Woodbridge)
among BFCs investments and subsidiaries in a manner which our board of directors believes to be
beneficial to BFCs shareholders. This may include making additional investments in BankAtlantic
Bancorp and Bluegreen.
On June 21, 2004, the Company sold all 15,000 issued and outstanding shares of its 5%
Preferred Stock to an investor group in a private offering. On December 17, 2008, the Company
amended its Articles of Incorporation (the Amendment) to change certain of the previously
designated relative rights, preferences and limitations of the Companys 5% Preferred Stock. The
Amendment eliminated the right of the holders of the 5% Preferred Stock to convert their shares of
Preferred Stock into shares of the Companys Class A Common Stock. The Amendment also requires the
Company to redeem shares of the 5% Preferred Stock with the net proceeds it receives in the event
(i) the Company sells any of its shares of Benihanas Convertible Preferred Stock, (ii) the Company
sells any shares of Benihanas Common Stock received upon conversion of the Benihanas Convertible
Preferred Stock or (iii) Benihana redeems any shares of its Convertible Preferred Stock owned by
the Company. Additionally, in the event
54
Table of Contents
BFC Activities
the Company defaults on its obligation to make dividend
payments on its 5% Preferred Stock, the Amendment entitles the holders of the 5% Preferred Stock,
in place of the Company, to receive directly from Benihana certain payments on the shares of
Benihanas Convertible Preferred Stock owned by the Company or on the shares of
Benihanas Common Stock received by the Company upon conversion of Benihanas Convertible
Preferred Stock. Effective with the Amendment, the Company determined that the 5% Preferred Stock
met the requirements to be re-classified outside of permanent equity at its fair value at the
Amendment date of approximately $11.0 million into the mezzanine category as Redeemable 5%
Cumulative Preferred Stock at December 31, 2008 in the Companys Consolidated Statements of
Financial Condition. The 5% Preferred Stock has a stated value of $1,000 per share. The shares of
5% Preferred Stock may be redeemed at the option of the Company, from time to time, at redemption
prices ranging from $1,030 per share for the year 2009 to $1,000 per share for the year 2015 and
thereafter. The 5% Preferred Stock liquidation preference is equal to its stated value of $1,000
per share plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends or an amount equal to the applicable redemption
price in a voluntary liquidation or winding up of the Company. Holders of the 5% Preferred Stock
have no voting rights, except as provided by Florida law, and are entitled to receive, when and as
declared by the Companys Board of Directors, cumulative quarterly cash dividends on each such
share 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% Preferred Stock of $187,500 on a
quarterly basis.
Shares of Benihanas Convertible Preferred Stock are subject to mandatory redemption on July
2, 2014. The date may be extended by the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of
Benihana Preferred Stock to a date no later than July 2, 2024. The Company owns 800,000 shares of
Benihanas 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 in dividends on Benihanas Convertible Preferred
Stock (see Notes 9 and 18 to the Companys financial statements for further information).
At June 30, 2009, a wholly-owned subsidiary of BFC/CCC, Inc. (BFC/CCC), had a 10% interest
in a limited partnership as a non-managing general partner. The partnership owns an office building
located in Boca Raton, Florida. In connection with the purchase of such office building in March
2006, 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 $6.0 million (which is shared on a joint and several basis with the managing
general partner), representing approximately 26.4% of the current indebtedness of the property,
with the guarantee to be partially reduced in the future based upon the performance of the
property. In July 2009, BFC/CCCs wholly-owned subsidiary withdrew as partner of the limited
partnership and transferred its 10% interest to another partner. In return, the partner to whom
this interest was assigned agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the release of
BFC/CCC from the guarantee, and if the partner is unable to secure such a release, that partner has
agreed to indemnify BFC/CCCs wholly-owned subsidiary for any losses that may arise under the
guarantee after the date of the assignment.
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 in November 2006, 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 19.3% 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 in June 2007, 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 amounts for the obligations associated with the above guarantees (including the
transaction associated with the transfer of BFC/CCCs wholly-owned subsidiarys 10% ownership
interest) recorded in the Companys financial statements based on the value of the assets
collateralizing the indebtedness, the potential indemnification by unaffiliated members and the
limit of the specific obligations to non-financial matters.

Financial Services
Our Financial Services activities of BFC are comprised of the operations of BankAtlantic
Bancorp and its subsidiaries. BankAtlantic Bancorp presents its results in two reportable segments
and its results of operations are consolidated in 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 three months ended June 30, 2009 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, 2009 and 2008. The principal assets of the Company consist of its ownership in
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. 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 the changing
regulatory environment, a continued or deepening recession and increased unemployment on our
business generally, maintaining BankAtlantics capital ratios in excess of all regulatory well
capitalized levels, as well as the ability of our borrowers to service their obligations and of
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 economy and 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 real estate based loans
including our residential land acquisition and development loans (including Builder land bank
loans, Land acquisition and development loans and Land acquisition, development and construction
loans) as well as Commercial land loans, other Commercial real estate loans, Residential loans and
Commercial business loans, and conditions specifically in those market sectors; the risks of
additional charge-offs, impairments and required increases in our allowance for loan losses;
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 financial and credit markets and the impact of such
conditions on our activities, the value of our assets and on the ability of our borrowers to
service their debt obligations and maintain account balances; BankAtlantics seven-day banking
initiatives and other 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 reduction initiatives and the ability to achieve additional cost savings;
and the impact of periodic valuation testing of goodwill, deferred tax assets and other assets.
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 herein and in reports filed by the Company with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, including the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2008 and the quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. 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
56
Table of Contents
Financial Services
(BankAtlantic Bancorp)
(BankAtlantic Bancorp)
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 securities as well as the determination of other-than-temporary declines in value,
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 long-lived assets;
and (iv) the accounting for deferred tax asset valuation allowance. For a more detailed discussion
of these critical accounting policies see Critical Accounting Policies appearing in the
Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2009 Compared to the Same 2008 Period:
The increase in BankAtlantics net loss during the 2009 quarter compared to the same 2008
quarter primarily resulted from a $9.8 million decline in net interest income, $5.1 million of
lower revenues from service charges on deposits and a $9.4 million reduction in income tax
benefits. The increase in BankAtlantics net loss was partially offset by lower non-interest
expenses related primarily to managements expense reduction initiatives. The substantial decline
in net interest income reflects managements decision to reduce asset balances and wholesale
borrowings in order to improve BankAtlantics liquidity position and regulatory capital ratios. As
a consequence, BankAtlantics average earnings assets declined by $639.8 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same 2008 period. The decline in revenues from service
charges mainly reflects lower customer overdraft fees recognized during 2009 compared to 2008 due
primarily to an increase in customer average deposit balances and fewer transaction accounts
generating fees during the 2009 quarter compared to the 2008 quarter. BankAtlantic recognized
income tax benefits in the 2008 quarter associated with its net loss while during the 2009 quarter,
BankAtlantic increased its deferred tax valuation allowance for the income tax benefits associated
with that quarters net loss. BankAtlantic incurred significantly lower non-interest expenses
during the 2009 quarter compared to the same 2008 period. In response to adverse economic
conditions, BankAtlantic, during 2008 and the first six months of 2009, reduced expenses with a
view towards increasing operating efficiencies. These operating expense initiatives included
workforce reductions, consolidation of certain back-office facilities, sale of five central Florida
stores, renegotiation of vendor contracts, outsourcing of certain back-office functions and other
targeted expense reduction efforts. These expense reductions were partially offset by higher FDIC
insurance premiums, including a $2.4 million FDIC special assessment in June 2009. BankAtlantics
provision for loan losses was $36.0 million for the 2009 quarter compared to $37.8 million for the
2008 quarter. The provision during 2009 primarily related to charge-offs and loan loss reserves
associated with our consumer, residential and commercial real estate loan portfolios. The 2008
provision mainly resulted from reserves and charge-offs associated with our commercial residential
loan portfolio.
The increase in the Parent Companys net loss during the 2009 quarter compared to the same
2008 quarter primarily resulted from an $8.4 million decline in securities activities, net and a
$2.7 million decrease in income tax benefits partially offset by a $1.9 million decline in the
provision for loan losses and a $0.5 million reduction in net interest expenses. The lower net
interest expense reflects a decline in interest expense on junior subordinated debentures
associated with a significant decline in the three-month LIBOR interest rate from June 2008 to June
57

2009. The lower revenues from securities activities, net reflect $8.2 million of realized
and unrealized gains on Stifel securities partially offset by $1.1 million of securities
impairments for the 2008 quarter compared to a net loss from securities activities during the 2009
quarter of $1.4 million from equity securities impairments. The Parent Company recognized a $2.7
million income tax benefit in the 2008 quarter while no income tax benefit was recognized during
the 2009 quarter due to an increase in the deferred tax valuation allowance. The $1.9 million
improvement in the provision for loan losses reflects lower charge-offs associated with
non-performing loans transferred from BankAtlantic to an asset work-out subsidiary of the Parent
Company in March 2008.

lower revenues from service charges on deposits and a $20.4 million reduction in income tax
benefits. The increase in BankAtlantics net loss was partially offset by higher securities gains
and lower non-interest expenses.

For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2009 Compared to the Same 2008 Period:
The decrease in net interest income primarily resulted from a significant reduction in earning
assets as well as a decline in the net interest margin. Interest income on earning assets declined
$21.1 million in the 2009 quarter as compared to the 2008 quarter. The decline was primarily due
to lower average earning assets, the impact that lower interest rates during 2009 had on our loan
portfolio average yields and the impact of increased non-performing assets. The decline in
investment yields resulted primarily from the suspension by the FHLB of its stock dividend during
the third quarter of 2008 and the sale of mortgage-backed securities that had higher yields than
the existing portfolio. The decline in average earning assets reflects a management decision to
slow the origination and purchase of loans and to sell agency securities in an effort to enhance
liquidity and improve regulatory capital ratios.
Interest expense on interest bearing liabilities declined by $11.2 million during the 2009
quarter compared to the 2008 quarter. The decline was primarily due to a significant decline in
wholesale borrowings, lower interest rates and a change in the mix of liabilities from higher cost
FHLB advance borrowings to lower cost deposits.
The net interest margin declined as yields on average interest earning assets declined faster
than the interest rates on average interest-bearing liabilities. The interest earning asset yield
declines were primarily due to lower interest rates during the current period and changes in the
earning asset portfolio mix from higher yielding

residential loans and residential mortgage backed securities to lower yielding commercial and
consumer loans. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, interest rates on residential mortgage
loans were at historical lows which resulted in increased residential loan refinancings and the
associated early repayments of existing residential loans during the period. Additionally,
BankAtlantic sold $190.6 million of mortgage backed securities during the six months ended June 30,
2009. As a consequence, the ratio of residential loans and residential mortgage-backed securities
to total earning assets changed from 57.2% residential loans and residential mortgage-backed
securities for the 2008 quarter to 51.2% for the 2009 quarter. The lower interest rate environment
during the 2009 quarter had a significant impact on commercial, small business and consumer loan
yields, as a majority of these loans have adjustable interest rates indexed to prime or LIBOR. The
prime interest rate declined from 5.25% at March 31, 2008 to 3.25% at June 30, 2009, and the
average three-month LIBOR rate declined from 2.78% at June 30, 2008 to 0.60% at June 30, 2009.
Yields on earning assets were also adversely affected by the discontinuation of FHLB stock
dividends. BankAtlantic received $1.1 million of FHLB stock dividends during the three months
ended June 30, 2008, but received no dividends during the same 2009 period.
The lower interest rates on interest bearing liabilities reflects the lower interest rate
environment generally during 2009 compared to 2008 and a change in BankAtlantics funding mix from
higher rate FHLB advances to lower rate deposits.
The decline in interest bearing deposit rates was partially offset by a shift in deposit mix
to a greater proportion of higher cost deposits. The increase in certificate accounts reflects
higher average brokered deposit account balances. Deposits which BankAtlantic receives in
connection with its participation in the CDARS program from other participating CDARS institutions
are included in BankAtlantics financial statements as brokered deposits. Average brokered
deposits increased from $43.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 to $232.5 million
during the same 2009 period, representing 5.51% of total deposits as of June 30, 2009.
The decline in average non-interest bearing demand deposit accounts reflects the competitive
banking environment in Florida and the migration of demand deposit accounts to interest-bearing NOW
and certificate of deposit accounts.

For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2009 Compared to the Same 2008 Period:
The decrease in net interest income primarily resulted from a significant reduction in earning
assets as well as a decline in the net interest margin. Interest income on earning assets declined
$42.0 million in the 2009 period compared to the same 2008 period while interest expense on
interest bearing liabilities declined by $26.0 million during the 2009 period compared to the same
2008 period. The decline in net interest income and the net interest margin for the six months
period resulted primarily from the same items discussed above for the three months ended June 30,
2009 compared to the same 2008 period and secondarily from a $228.3 million increase in
non-performing assets from June 30, 2008 to June 30, 2009.

During the six months ended June 30, 2009, real estate values in markets where our collateral
is located continued to decline and economic conditions deteriorated further. In June 2009,
Floridas unemployment rate hit a 33 year high at 10.6% and the national unemployment rate rose to
9.5%. The recession and high unemployment is adversely affecting commercial non-residential real
estate markets as consumers and businesses reduce spending which in turn may cause delinquencies on
loans collateralized by shopping centers, hotels and offices to significantly increase nationwide.
Additionally, the rising national unemployment has resulted in higher delinquencies and
foreclosures on jumbo residential real estate loans during 2009. These adverse economic conditions
continued to adversely impact the credit quality of all of BankAtlantics loan products resulting
in higher loan delinquencies, charge-offs and classified assets. We continued to incur losses in
our commercial residential real estate and consumer home equity loan portfolios. We also began
experiencing higher losses in our commercial non-residential, residential and small business loan
portfolios as the deteriorating economic environment has adversely impacted borrowers under these
loans. We believe that if real estate and general economic conditions and unemployment trends in
Florida do not improve, the credit quality of our loan portfolio will continue to deteriorate and
additional provisions for loan losses may be required in subsequent periods. Additionally, if
jumbo residential loan delinquencies and foreclosures continue to increase nationwide, we may incur
additional provisions for residential loan losses.
Non-performing assets were substantially higher at June 30, 2009 compared to December 31, 2008
primarily resulting from higher non-performing loans and real estate owned balances.

The increase in non-accrual tax certificates and the higher allowance for tax certificate
losses primarily resulted from certain out of state tax certificates purchased in real estate
markets that have deteriorated since the purchase date. Management believes that these adverse
economic conditions in distressed areas resulted in higher tax certificate non-performing assets
and charge-offs than historical trends.
The higher non-performing loans primarily resulted from a $48.0 million and a $30.0 million
increase in non-accrual commercial and residential loans, respectively. Commercial residential
loans continue to constitute the majority of non-performing loans; however, BankAtlantic is
experiencing unfavorable delinquency trends in commercial loans collateralized by commercial land
and retail income producing properties and may experience higher non-performing loans in these loan
categories in subsequent periods. We believe that the substantial increase in residential
non-accrual loans primarily reflects the significant increase in the national unemployment rate
during 2009 and the general deterioration in the national economy and in the residential real
estate market as home prices throughout the country continued to decline. Additionally,
BankAtlantics small business and consumer non-accrual loan balances increased by $5.1 million and
$4.3 million, respectively.
The increase in real estate owned primarily resulted from two commercial non-residential loan
foreclosures and an increase in residential real estate loan foreclosures associated with the
residential and home equity loan portfolios.
In response to current market conditions, BankAtlantic has developed loan modification
programs for certain borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. During the six months ended
June 30, 2009, BankAtlantic modified the terms of various commercial, small business, residential
and home equity loans. Generally, the concessions made to borrowers experiencing financial
difficulties were the reduction of the loans contractual interest rate, converting amortizing
loans to interest only payments or the deferral of interest payments to the maturity date of the
loan. BankAtlantic believes that granting these concessions should improve the performance and
value of these loans. However, management can give no assurance that the modification of loans in
a troubled debt restructuring will result in increased collections from the borrower.

The increase in the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2009 compared to December 31, 2008
primarily resulted from an increase in reserves for consumer and residential loans of $10.0 million
and $16.4 million, respectively, reflecting the unfavorable delinquency trends and continued
deterioration of key economic indicators during the six months ended June 30, 2009 as discussed
above.

and sell residential real estate and the rapid decline in residential real estate values where our collateral is located, BankAtlantic began performing
quarterly impairment evaluations on residential real estate and real estate secured consumer loans that were written down in prior periods to determine whether specific reserves

small business loans).

The increase in charge-offs on consumer home equity and residential loans during the three and
six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same 2008 periods was primarily due to the
significant increase in unemployment rates and declining real estate values. These adverse
economic conditions have affected our borrowers ability to perform under their loan agreements.
The increase in small business charge-offs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009
compared to the same 2008 periods, reflects, we believe, the deteriorating financial condition of
our borrowers businesses caused, in part, by the effect the current recession has had on consumer
spending and the construction industry. The reduction in commercial loan charge-offs during the
periods reflects lower charge-offs on builder land bank loans, land acquisition and development
loans and land acquisition and construction loans during the 2009 periods compared to the same 2008
periods.

The lower revenues from service charges on deposits during the three and six months ended
June 30, 2009 compared to the same 2008 periods primarily resulted from lower overdraft fee
income. This decline in overdraft fee income reflects a decline in the total number of accounts
that generate fees and a decrease in the frequency of overdrafts per deposit account, which we
believe is the result of the focus on growth in accounts of higher balance business and retail
customers. Management believes that the frequency of overdrafts per deposit account will continue
to decline during 2009; however, this decline may be partially offset by a 9% increase in the fees
for
64

overdraft transactions effective March 1, 2009. The increase in overdraft fees reflects
increased costs of processing and collecting overdrafts, and we believe are in line with local
competition.
The higher other service charges and fees during the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared
to the same 2008 period was primarily due to lower losses from check card operations and higher
incentive fees received from our third party vendor. The increase in other service charges and fees during the six
months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same 2008 period was primarily due to the items
discussed above partially offset by a decline in debit card interchange income based, we believe,
on decreased spending by our customers during the three months ended March 31, 2009. The
interchange transaction volume remained unchanged for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared
to the same 2008 period.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, BankAtlantic sold $41.5 million and
$190.6 million of agency securities available for sale for a $2.0 million and $6.3 million gain,
respectively. The net proceeds of $197.0 million from the sales were used to pay down FHLB
advance borrowings.
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.
Income from unconsolidated subsidiaries during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009
represents equity earnings from a joint venture that engages in accounts receivable factoring.
Income from unconsolidated subsidiaries for the six months ended June 30, 2008 includes $1.0
million of equity earnings from a joint venture that was liquidated in January 2008 and equity
earnings from the receivable factoring joint venture. BankAtlantic liquidated all of its
investments in income producing real estate joint ventures during 2008.
The increase in other non-interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009
compared to the same 2008 periods was primarily the result of higher commissions earned on the
sale of investment products to our customers. This increase in other non-interest income was
partially offset by a decline in fee income from the outsourcing of our check clearing operation
as lower short-term interest rates reduced our earnings credit on outstanding checks.

The substantial decline in employee compensation and benefits during the three and six months
ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same 2008 periods resulted primarily from a decline in the
workforce, including
65
Table of Contents
Financial Services
(BankAtlantic Bancorp)
(BankAtlantic Bancorp)
workforce reductions in March 2009 and April 2008. In April 2008, BankAtlantics workforce was reduced by 124 associates or 6%, and in March 2009, BankAtlantics
work force was further reduced by 130 associates, or 7%. As a consequence of these workforce
reductions and attrition, the number of full-time equivalent employees declined from 2,385 at
December 31, 2007 to 1,554 at June 30, 2009. The decline in the workforce resulted in lower
employee benefits, payroll taxes, recruitment advertising and incentive bonuses for the 2009
periods compared to 2008. Despite the reductions in staff and other expenses, BankAtlantic
continues to operate approximately 65% of its stores seven-days a week in support of its ongoing
focus on customer service.
The decline in occupancy and equipment during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009
compared to the same 2008 periods primarily resulted from the consolidation of back-office
facilities and the sale of five central Florida branches to an unrelated financial institution
during 2008. As a consequence of the branch sale and the reduction in back-office facilities,
rent expense declined by $0.3 million, depreciation expense by $0.7 million and maintenance costs
by $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same 2008 period,
respectively. Likewise, during the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same 2008
period back-office facilities rent expense declined by $1.0 million, depreciation expense by $1.1
million and maintenance costs by $0.9 million
In response to market conditions for financial institutions, management decided to
substantially reduce its advertising expenditures during the three and six months ended June 30,
2009 compared to the same 2008 periods.
The lower check losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same
2008 periods were primarily related to more stringent overdraft policies implemented during 2008
as well as lower volume of new account growth.
The increase in professional fees during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 compared
to the same 2008 periods reflects higher legal fees mainly associated with loan modifications,
commercial loan work-outs, and tax certificate activities litigation.
The lower telecommunications costs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009
compared to the same 2008 periods primarily resulted from switching to a new vendor on more
favorable terms.
The costs associated with debt redemptions were the result of prepayment penalties incurred
upon the prepayment of $276.4 million and $526.0 million, respectively, of FHLB advances during
the three and six months ended June 30, 2009.
The restructuring charge for the three months ended June 30, 2009 reflects additional
impairment charges for real estate held for sale that was originally acquired for store expansion.
The restructuring charge for the six months ended June 30, 2009 included one-time termination
costs incurred as a result of the workforce reduction discussed above.
During the three months ended June 30, 2008, BankAtlantic terminated a lease as part of the
consolidation of its back office facilities, reduced its work force as discussed above and
completed the sale of five Central Florida stores. These actions resulted in restructuring charges,
impairments and exit activities for the 2008 second quarter of $1.5 million associated with lease
termination costs and 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
during the three months ended June 30, 2008, BankAtlantic incurred $1.9 million of impairments
associated with real estate held for sale that was originally acquired for store expansion.
The significant increase in the provision for tax certificates losses during the three and
six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same 2008 periods reflects higher charge-offs and
increases in tax certificate reserves for certain out-of state certificates acquired in distressed
markets.
BankAtlantic tests goodwill for potential impairment annually or during interim periods if
impairment indicators exist. Based on the results of an interim impairment evaluation, BankAtlantic
recorded an impairment charge of $9.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2009. If
market conditions do not improve or deteriorate further, BankAtlantic may recognize additional
goodwill impairment charges in subsequent periods.

In October 2008, the FDIC adopted a restoration plan to restore its insurance fund to a
predefined level. In June 2009, the FDIC imposed a special assessment on all depository
institutions of five basis points on adjusted total assets. BankAtlantics portion of the FDIC
depository institution special assessment was estimated at $2.4 million.
The increase in other non-interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009
compared to the same 2008 periods related to higher deposit insurance premiums and increased
property maintenance costs associated with real estate owned and non-performing loans. These
higher other expenses were partially offset by lower general operating expenses directly related
to managements expense reduction initiatives.

The decline in net interest expense during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009
compared to the same 2008 periods primarily resulted from lower average interest rates during the
2009 periods. Average rates on junior subordinated debentures decreased from 6.55% and 7.24%
during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 to 5.39% and 5.49% during the same 2009 periods
reflecting lower LIBOR interest rates during the 2009 periods compared to the 2008 periods. The
average balances on junior subordinated debentures during the three and six months ended June 30,
2009 were $298.2 million and $296.3 million compared to $294.2 million and $294.2 million,
respectively, during the same periods during 2008. Also included in net interest expense during
the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 was $162,000 and $234,000, respectively, of interest
income on two performing loans aggregating $3.4 million. Interest income on loans for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2008 was $117,000 each period.
The decline in non-interest income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 was
primarily the result of securities activities. During the three months ended June 30, 2009, the
Parent Company recognized a $1.4 million other than temporary decline in value of an investment in
an unrelated financial institution. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Parent Company
sold 250,233 shares of Stifel common stock received in connection with the contingent earn-out
payment from the sale of Ryan Beck for a $120,000 gain. During the three and six months ended June
30, 2008, the Parent 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. The Parent Company also recognized during the six
months ended June 30, 2008 a $1.1 million other than temporary impairment on a private equity
investment and realized $1.3 million of gains from the sale of private investment securities.
Non-interest expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 consisted
primarily of executive compensation, investor relation costs and professional fees. The decline
in non-interest expenses during 2009 compared to 2008 mainly resulted from lower incentive
compensation for 2009 compared to 2008.

BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. Consolidated Financial Condition
The Company reduced its total assets with a view to improving its regulatory capital ratios.
Total assets were decreased by selling securities available for sale, significantly reducing loan
purchases and originations as well as substantially reducing the acquisition of tax certificates.
The proceeds from payments on earning assets and securities sales were used to pay down
borrowings.
Total assets at June 30, 2009 were $5.3 billion compared to $5.8 billion at December 31,
2008. The changes in components of total assets from December 31, 2008 to June 30, 2009 are
summarized below:
| Increase in cash and cash equivalents primarily reflecting $107.3 million of higher cash balances at the Federal Reserve Bank associated with daily cash management activities; | ||
| Decrease in securities available for sale reflecting the sale of $190.6 million of mortgage-backed securities as well as repayments associated with higher residential mortgage refinancings in response to low historical residential mortgage interest rates during the period; | ||
| Decrease in tax certificate balances primarily due to redemptions and decreased tax certificate acquisitions compared to prior periods; | ||
| Decline in FHLB stock related to lower FHLB advance borrowings; | ||
| Higher residential loans held for sale primarily resulting from increased originations associated with residential mortgage refinancings; | ||
| Decrease in loan receivable balances associated with repayments of residential loans in the normal course of business combined with a significant decline in loan purchases and originations ; | ||
| Decrease in accrued interest receivable primarily resulting from lower loan balances and a significant decline in interest rates; | ||
| Increase in real estate owned associated with commercial real estate and residential loan foreclosures; and | ||
| Decrease in goodwill associated with the impairment of $9.1 million of goodwill. |
The Companys total liabilities at June 30, 2009 were $5.1 billion compared to $5.6 billion
at December 31, 2008. The changes in components of total liabilities from December 31, 2008 to
June 30, 2009 are summarized below:
| Increased interest bearing deposit account balances associated with sales efforts and promotions of higher-yielding interest-bearing checking accounts partially offset by lower time deposits; | ||
| Higher non-interest-bearing deposit balances primarily due to increased customer balances in checking accounts; | ||
| Lower FHLB advances and short term borrowings due to repayments using proceeds from the sales of securities, loan repayments and increases in deposit account balances; and | ||
| Increase in junior subordinated debentures due to interest deferrals. |
Liquidity and Capital Resources
BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Companys principal source of liquidity is its cash, investments and funds obtained from
its wholly-owned work-out subsidiary. The Company also may obtain funds through dividends from its
other subsidiaries, issuance of equity and debt securities, and liquidation of its investments,
although no dividends from BankAtlantic are anticipated or contemplated in the foreseeable future.
The Company may use its funds to contribute capital to its subsidiaries, pay debt service and
shareholder dividends, repay borrowings, invest in equity securities and other investments, and
fund operations, including funding servicing costs and real estate owned operating expenses of its
wholly-owned work-out subsidiary. The Companys estimated annual interest expense associated with
its junior subordinated debentures is approximately $14.0 million. In order to preserve liquidity
in the current difficult economic environment, the Company elected in February 2009 to defer
interest payments on all of its outstanding junior subordinated debentures and to cease paying
dividends on its common stock. The terms of the junior subordinated debentures and the trust
documents allow the Company to defer payments of interest for up to 20 consecutive quarterly
periods without default or penalty. During the deferral period, the respective trusts will
likewise suspend the declaration and payment of dividends on the trust preferred securities. The
deferral election began as of March 2009 and regularly scheduled quarterly interest payments
aggregating $7.2 million that would
69
Table of Contents
Financial Services
(BankAtlantic Bancorp)
(BankAtlantic Bancorp)
otherwise have been paid during the six months ended June 30, 2009 were deferred. The Company has
the ability under the junior subordinated debentures to continue to defer interest payments through
ongoing, appropriate notices to each of the trustees, and will make a decision each quarter as to
whether to continue the deferral of interest. During the deferral period, interest will continue
to accrue on the junior subordinated debentures at the stated coupon rate, including on the
deferred interest, and the Company will continue to record the interest expense associated with the
junior subordinated debentures. During the deferral period, the Company may not, among other
things and with limited exceptions, pay cash dividends on or repurchase its common stock nor make
any payment on outstanding debt obligations that rank equally with or junior to the junior
subordinated debentures. The Company may end the deferral by paying all accrued and unpaid
interest. The Company anticipates that it will continue to defer interest on its junior
subordinated debentures and will not pay dividends on its common stock for the foreseeable future.
During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company received $15.0 million of dividends from
BankAtlantic. The Company does not anticipate receiving dividends from BankAtlantic during the year
ended December 31, 2009 until economic conditions and the performance of BankAtlantic assets
improve. The ability of BankAtlantic to pay dividends or make other distributions to the Company
is subject to regulations and prior approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS). The OTS
would 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, and there is no assurance that the OTS would approve future
applications for capital distributions from BankAtlantic.
The Companys anticipated liquidity focus during the latter half of 2009 is on providing
capital to BankAtlantic, if needed, managing the cash requirements of its asset work-out
subsidiary, and funding its operating expenses. The Company is required to provide BankAtlantic
with managerial assistance and capital as the OTS may determine necessary under applicable
regulations and supervisory standards. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company
contributed $30.0 million of capital to BankAtlantic.
On August 10, 2009, the Company announced that it intends to pursue a rights offering for up
to $100 million of its Class A Common Stock. A record date of August 24, 2009 has been set for the
proposed rights offering. Upon commencement of the proposed rights offering, BankAtlantic Bancorp
will distribute non-transferable subscription rights to purchase shares of its Class A Common Stock
to each holder of its Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock as of the close of business on
the record date. The amount of subscription rights to be distributed in the rights offering will
be determined based on the total number of all outstanding shares of BankAtlantic Bancorps Common
Stock on the record date. The subscription price, which is anticipated to be at a discount to the
market price, will be determined on a date closer to the record date. BankAtlantic Bancorp
previously filed a shelf registration statement including a prospectus with the SEC dated April 25,
2008, which was declared effective by the SEC on July 8, 2008. This shelf registration statement
will be used in connection with the proposed rights offering. The rights offering will be made
only by means of a prospectus supplement to be distributed to record date shareholders as soon as
possible after the record date.
In addition to the announced rights offering, the Company may also consider pursuing the
issuance of additional securities, which could include Class A common stock, debt, preferred stock,
warrants or any combination thereof. Any such financing could be obtained through public or
private offerings, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Additionally, we could
pursue these financings at the Parent Company level or directly at BankAtlantic or both. The
announced rights offering and any other financing involving the issuance of our Class A common
stock or securities convertible or exercisable for our Class A common stock could be highly
dilutive for our existing shareholders. There is no assurance that any such financing will be
available to us on favorable terms or at all.
The sale of Ryan Beck to Stifel closed on February 28, 2007, and the sales agreement provided
for contingent earn-out payments, payable in cash or shares of Stifel common stock, at Stifels
election, based on certain Ryan Beck revenues during the two-year period immediately following the
closing, which ended on February 28, 2009. The Company received $8.6 million in earn-out payments
paid in 250,233 shares of Stifel common stock in March 2009. The Stifel stock was sold for net
proceeds of $8.7 million.
Pursuant to the terms of the Ryan Beck merger, the Company agreed to indemnify Stifel against
certain losses arising out of activities of Ryan Beck prior to its sale. Stifel indicated that it
believes it is entitled to indemnification payments under the agreement. Based on information
provided by Stifel to date, management does not believe that it is obligated to indemnify Stifel
under the terms of the merger agreement.

The non-performing loans transferred to the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company may also
provide a potential source of liquidity through workouts, repayments of the loans or sales of
interests in the subsidiary. The balance of these loans at June 30, 2009 was $67.9 million.
During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Parent Company received net cash flows of $5.0
million from its work-out subsidiary.
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 is also dependent, in part, on its ability
to maintain or increase deposit levels and availability under lines of credit, Treasury and
Federal Reserve programs. Additionally, interest rate changes, additional collateral requirements,
disruptions in the capital markets or deterioration in BankAtlantics financial condition may make
borrowings unavailable or make terms of the borrowings and deposits less favorable. As a result,
there is a risk that our cost of funds will increase or that the availability of funding sources
may decrease.
BankAtlantics primary sources of funds are deposits; principal repayments of loans, tax
certificates and securities available for sale; proceeds from the sale of loans and securities
available for sale; proceeds from securities sold under agreements to repurchase; advances from
FHLB; Treasury and Federal Reserve lending programs; interest payments on loans and securities;
capital contributions from the Parent Company and other funds generated by operations. These funds
are primarily utilized to fund loan disbursements and purchases, deposit outflows, repayments of
securities sold under agreements to repurchase, repayments of advances from FHLB and other
borrowings, purchases of tax certificates and securities available for sale, acquisitions of
properties and equipment, and operating expenses.
In October 2008, the FDIC announced a Liquidity Guarantee Program. Under this program,
certain newly issued senior unsecured debt issued on or before October 31, 2009, would be fully
protected in the event the issuing institution subsequently fails, or its holding company files for
bankruptcy. This includes promissory notes, commercial paper, inter-bank funding, and any unsecured
portion of secured debt. Coverage would be limited to the period ending December 31, 2012, even if
the maturity exceeds that date. Subject to FDIC approval, the program could provide BankAtlantic
with additional liquidity as certain new borrowings may be guaranteed by the FDIC. The FDIC also
announced that any participating depository institution will be able to provide full deposit
insurance coverage for non-interest bearing deposit transaction accounts and interest bearing
accounts with rates at or below fifty basis points, regardless of dollar amount. This new,
temporary guarantee will expire at the end of 2009. BankAtlantic opted-in to the additional
coverage on qualifying borrowings and non-interest bearing deposits. As a result, BankAtlantic will
be assessed a 75-basis point fee on new covered borrowings, and was assessed a 10-basis point
surcharge for non-interest bearing deposit transaction account balances exceeding the previously
insured amount.
In October 2008, the FDIC adopted a restoration plan that increased the rates depository
institutions pay for deposit insurance. Under the restoration plan, the assessment rates schedule
was raised by 7 basis points for all
71
Table of Contents
Financial Services
(BankAtlantic Bancorp)
(BankAtlantic Bancorp)
depository institutions beginning on January 1, 2009 and the assessment rates were raised again on
April 1, 2009 based on the risk rating of each financial institution. Additionally, the FDIC
announced a 5 basis point special assessment as of June 30, 2009 payable in September 2009. As a
consequence, BankAtlantics FDIC insurance premium, including the special assessment, increased
from $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 to $6.4 million during the same 2009
period.
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 $597.0 million and to obtain a $293 million letter of credit securing public
deposits as of June 30, 2009. 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.
BankAtlantics unused available borrowings under this line of credit were approximately $247
million at June 30, 2009. An additional source of liquidity for BankAtlantic is its securities
portfolio. As of June 30, 2009, BankAtlantic had $246 million of unpledged securities that could
be sold or pledged for additional borrowings with the FHLB, the Federal Reserve or other financial
institutions. BankAtlantic is a participating institution in the Federal Reserve Treasury
Investment Program for up to $9.2 million in fundings and at June 30, 2009, BankAtlantic had $5.6
million of short-term borrowings outstanding under this program. BankAtlantic is also eligible to
participate in the Federal Reserves discount window program. The amount that can be borrowed
under this program is dependent on available collateral, and BankAtlantic had unused available
borrowings of approximately $119 million as of June 30, 2009, with no amounts outstanding under
this program at June 30, 2009. The above lines of credit are subject to periodic review, may be
reduced or terminated at any time by the issuer institution. If the current economic trends
continue to adversely affect our performance, the above borrowings may be limited, additional
collateral may be required or these borrowings may not be available to us, and BankAtlantics
liquidity could be materially adversely affected.
BankAtlantic also has various relationships to acquire brokered deposits, and to execute
repurchase agreements, which may be utilized as an alternative source of liquidity, if needed.
BankAtlantic does not anticipate its brokered deposit balances to significantly increase in the
foreseeable future. At June 30, 2009, BankAtlantic had $223.4 million and $25.8 million of
brokered deposits and securities sold under agreements to repurchase outstanding, representing
4.3% and 0.5% of total assets, respectively. Additional repurchase agreement borrowings are
subject to available collateral. Additionally, BankAtlantic had total cash on hand or with other
financial institutions of $213.0 million as of June 30, 2009.
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. Multiple market disruptions have made it more difficult for financial institutions
to borrow money. 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 may adversely impact
the ability of all financial institutions to access 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. In order to improve its liquidity position,
BankAtlantic reduced its borrowings by $634.1 million as of June 30, 2009 compared to December 31,
2008, by increasing its total deposits and utilizing the proceeds from the sale of securities
available for sale and repayments of earning assets to pay down borrowings. Additionally,
BankAtlantic anticipates continued reductions in assets and borrowings in the foreseeable future.
BankAtlantics commitments to originate and purchase loans at June 30, 2009 were $88.5
million and $0, respectively, compared to $84.4 million and $6.6 million, respectively, at June
30, 2008. At June 30, 2009, total loan commitments represented approximately 2.20% of net loans
receivable.
At June 30, 2009, BankAtlantic had investments and mortgage-backed securities of
approximately $33.1 million pledged against securities sold under agreements to repurchase, $6.0
million pledged against public deposits and $8.9 million pledged against treasury tax and loan
accounts.
As of June 30, 2009, BankAtlantics capital was is excess of all regulatory well capitalized
levels. However, the OTS, at its discretion, can at any time require an institution to maintain
capital amounts and ratios above the established well capitalized requirements based on its view
of the risk profile of the specific institution. If higher capital requirements are imposed,
BankAtlantic could be required to raise additional capital. There is no assurance that additional
capital will not be necessary, or that the Company or BankAtlantic would be successful in
72
Table of Contents
Financial Services
(BankAtlantic Bancorp)
(BankAtlantic Bancorp)
raising additional capital in subsequent periods. The Companys inability to raise capital or be
deemed well capitalized could have a material adverse impact on the Companys financial condition
and results.
BankAtlantic works closely with its regulators during the course of its exams and on an
ongoing basis. Communications with our regulators include, from time to time, providing
information on an ad-hoc, one-time or regular basis related to areas of regulatory oversight and
bank operations. As part of such communications, BankAtlantic has provided to its regulators
forecasts, strategic business plans and other information relating to anticipated asset balances,
asset quality, capital levels, expenses, anticipated earnings, levels of brokered deposits and
liquidity, and has indicated that BankAtlantic has no plans to pay dividends to its parent. The
information which BankAtlantic provides to its regulators is based on estimates and assumptions
made by management at the time provided which are inherently uncertain.

| the market for real estate in the areas where the Company has developments, including the impact of market conditions on the Companys margins and the fair value of its real estate inventory; | ||
| the risk that the value of the property held by Core Communities and Carolina Oak may decline, including as a result of the current downturn in the residential and commercial real estate and homebuilding industries, and the potential for related write-downs or impairment charges; | ||
| the impact of the factors negatively impacting the homebuilding and residential real estate industries on the market and values of commercial property; | ||
| the risk that the downturn in the credit markets may adversely affect Cores commercial leasing projects, including the ability of current and potential tenants to secure financing which may, in turn, negatively impact long-term rental and occupancy; | ||
| the risks relating to Cores dependence on certain key tenants in its commercial leasing projects, including the risk that current adverse conditions in the economy in general and/or adverse developments in the businesses of these tenants could have a negative impact on Cores financial condition; | ||
| the risk that the development of parcels and master-planned communities will not be completed as anticipated or that Core will be obligated to make additional payments under its outstanding development bonds; |

factors are not exclusive.
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 and compensation with these objectives. Our goal
is to pursue acquisitions and investments in diverse industries, including investments in
affiliates, using a combination of our cash and stock and third party equity and debt financing.
This business strategy may result in acquisitions and investments both within and outside of the
real estate industry. We also intend to explore a variety of funding structures which might
leverage or 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 likely will not generate a consistent earnings stream and the composition
of our revenues may vary widely due to factors inherent in a particular investment, including the
maturity and cyclical nature of, and market conditions relating to, the business invested in. We
expect that net investment gains and other income will depend on the success of our investments as
well as overall market conditions. We also intend to pursue strategic initiatives with the goal of
enhancing liquidity. These initiatives may include pursuing alternatives to monetize a portion of
our interests in certain of Cores assets through sale, possible joint ventures or other strategic
relationships, including possible public or private offerings of debt or equity securities at Core.
As part of our strategy to access alternative financing sources and to pursue opportunities
within the capital markets, we have taken steps to form various subsidiaries, including a broker
dealer. We envision that these subsidiaries will generate fee income from private or public
offerings that will be marketed to investors through broker dealer networks. Amongst the possible
investment opportunities is a program that we are currently exploring with Bluegreen in which the
funds raised would be invested in its timeshare receivables. While the formation of this program is
in the early stages, the expectation is that a newly formed entity would acquire Bluegreen
receivables and issue securities in a public offering. Bluegreen has agreed to reimburse us for
certain expenses, including legal and professional fees, incurred by us in connection with this
effort. There is, however, no assurance that we will be successful in the venture or that the
business will be profitable for the Company or enhance Bluegreens liquidity.
Our operations have historically been concentrated in the real estate industry which is
cyclical in nature. 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, constructs and leases income producing commercial real estate. In addition,
our Other Operations segment includes an equity investment in 9.5
75
Table of Contents
Real Estate Development
(Woodbridge)
(Woodbridge)
million shares of the common stock of Bluegreen, a NYSE-listed company, which represents
approximately 31% of Bluegreens outstanding common stock, and a cost method investment in Office
Depot, a NYSE-listed company in which we own less than 1% of the 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. As described above, we are currently working with Bluegreen to explore avenues in
assisting Bluegreen in obtaining liquidity for its receivables, which may include, among other
potential alternatives, Woodbridge forming a broker dealer to raise capital through private or
public offerings. Our Other Operations segment also includes the operations of Pizza Fusion, which
is a restaurant franchise operating within the quick service and organic food industries, and the
activities of Carolina Oak, which engaged in homebuilding activities at Tradition Hilton Head prior
to the suspension of those activities in the fourth quarter of 2008.
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 include
revenues from sales of real estate, margin (which we measure as revenues from sales of real estate
minus cost of sales of real estate), margin percentage (which we measure as margin divided by
revenues from sales of real estate), income before taxes, net income 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.
Going forward, under the terms and conditions of the new executive compensation program, all
of the Companys investments are or will be held by individual limited partnerships or other legal
entities established for such purpose. The executive officer participants may have interests tied
both to the performance of a particular investment as well as interests relating to the performance
of the portfolio of investments as a whole. The Company will evaluate these investments based on
certain performance criteria and other financial metrics established by the Company in its capacity
as investor in the program.
Land Division Overview
Core Communities develops master-planned communities and is currently developing Tradition,
Florida, which is located in Port St. Lucie, Florida, and Tradition Hilton Head, which is located
in Hardeeville, South Carolina. Tradition, Florida encompasses approximately 8,200 total acres.
Core has sold approximately 1,800 acres to date and has approximately 3,800 net saleable acres
remaining in inventory. As of June 30, 2009, approximately 8 acres were subject to a sales contract
with a sales price which could range from $3.0 million to $3.9 million at a cost of approximately
$2.2 million. The sale is contingent upon the purchaser obtaining financing and if consummated on
the contemplated terms, and would not result in a loss. Tradition Hilton Head encompasses
approximately 5,400 total acres, of which 178 acres have been sold to date. Approximately 2,800 net
saleable acres are remaining at Tradition Hilton Head. No acres were subject to sales contracts as
of June 30, 2009. Acres sold to date in Tradition Hilton Head include the intercompany sale of 150
acres to Carolina Oak.
We plan to continue to focus on our Land Divisions commercial operations through sales to
developers and the internal development of certain projects for leasing to third parties. Core is
currently pursuing the sale of two of its commercial leasing projects. Conditions in the
commercial real estate market have deteriorated and financing is not as readily available in the
current market, which may adversely impact both Cores ability to complete sales and the
profitability of any sales.
In addition, the overall slowdown in the real estate markets and disruptions in credit markets
continue to have a negative effect on demand for residential land in our Land Division which
historically was partially mitigated
76

(Woodbridge)
(Woodbridge)
by increased commercial leasing revenue. Traffic at both the Tradition, Florida and Tradition
Hilton Head information centers remains slow, reflecting the overall state of the real estate
market.
Other Operations Overview
Other Operations consist of the operations of our Parent Company, Carolina Oak, and Pizza
Fusion, the activities of Cypress Creek Capital and Snapper Creek, our equity investment in
Bluegreen and our investment in Office Depot.
During 2008, we began evaluating our investment in Bluegreen on a quarterly basis for
other-than-temporary impairments in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
Staff Position FAS 115-1/FAS 124-1, The Meaning of Other-than-Temporary Impairment and Its
Application to Certain Investments, Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 18, The Equity Method
of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock, and Securities and Exchange Commission Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 59. These evaluations generally include an analysis of various quantitative
and qualitative factors relating to the performance of Bluegreen and its stock price. We value
Bluegreens common stock using a market approach valuation technique and Level 1 valuation inputs
under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157,
Fair Value Measurements. Based on the
results of our evaluations during the quarters ended September 30, 2008, December 31, 2008 and
March 31, 2009, we determined that other-than-temporary impairments were necessary for those
periods. As a result, we recorded impairment charges of $53.6 million, $40.8 million and $20.4
million during the quarters ended September 30, 2008, December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009,
respectively. Based on our impairment evaluation performed during the quarter ended June 30, 2009,
we determined that our investment in Bluegreen was not impaired at June 30, 2009. As of June 30,
2009, the carrying value of our investment in Bluegreen was $28.6 million.
During the quarters ended December 31, 2008, March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009, we performed
impairment analyses of our investment in Office Depot. The impairment analyses included an
evaluation of, among other things, qualitative and quantitative factors relating to the performance
of Office Depot and its stock price. As a result of these evaluations, we determined that
other-than-temporary impairment charges were required at December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009 and
recorded a $12.0 million impairment charge relating to our investment in Office Depot in the three
months ended December 31, 2008 and an additional $2.4 million impairment charge in the three months
ended March 31, 2009. Based on the impairment evaluation performed during the quarter ended June
30, 2009, we determined that our investment in Office Depot was not impaired at June 30, 2009. The
fair value of Office Depots common stock in our unaudited consolidated statements of financial
condition at June 30, 2009 of $6.5 million was calculated based upon the $4.56 closing price of
Office Depots common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on June 30, 2009. On August 6, 2009, the
closing price of Office Depots common stock was $5.06 per share.
Recent Developments
On July 2, 2009, we entered into a definitive merger agreement with BFC. Subject to the terms
and conditions of the agreement, we will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of BFC and the holders of
our Class A Common Stock (other than BFC) will receive 3.47 shares of BFCs Class A Common Stock
for each share of our Class A Common Stock they hold at the effective time of the merger. BFC
currently owns approximately 22% of our Class A Common Stock and all of our Class B Common Stock,
representing approximately 59% of our total voting power. The shares of our common stock held by
BFC will be canceled in the merger.
The consummation of the merger is subject to a number of customary closing conditions,
including the approval of both our and BFCs shareholders. We currently expect to consummate the
merger during the third quarter of 2009. If the merger agreement is consummated, our separate
corporate existence will cease and our Class A Common Stock will no longer be publicly traded.

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
presentation of our financial condition and results of operations are: (a) fair value measurements;
(b) investments; (c) goodwill and intangible assets; (d) revenue recognition; (e) income taxes; and
(f) loss in excess of investment in Levitt and Sons. 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, 2008.

For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2009 Compared to the Same 2008 Period:
Consolidated net income attributable to Woodbridge was $677,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 2009, as compared to a consolidated net loss of $8.9 million for the same 2008 period. The
increase in net income for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was mainly associated with the
increase of earnings from Bluegreen in the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same
2008 period. Additionally, there was a decrease of selling, general and administrative expenses in
the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same 2008 period. These factors were offset in
part by an increase in interest expense and a decrease in interest and other income in the three
months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same 2008 period.

Revenues from sales of real estate decreased to $1.8 million for the three months ended June
30, 2009 from $2.4 million for the same 2008 period. Revenues from sales of real estate for the
three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 in the Land Division were comprised of land sales,
recognition of deferred revenue and revenue related to incremental revenue received from
homebuilders based on the final resale price to the homebuilders customer (look back revenue).
In Other Operations, revenues from sales of real estate were comprised of home sales in Carolina
Oak. During the three months ended June 30, 2009, our Land Division sold 9 lots encompassing
approximately 3 acres, generating revenues of approximately $424,000, compared to the sale of 8
lots encompassing approximately 3 acres, which generated revenues of approximately $825,000, net of
deferred revenue, in the same 2008 period. Our Land Division recognized deferred revenue on
previously sold land of approximately $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009,
compared to approximately $758,000 in the same 2008 period. Look back revenues for the three months
ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were not significant. In Other Operations, we earned $320,000 in
revenues from sales of real estate as a result of 1 unit sold in Carolina Oak, compared to revenues
from sales of real estate of $635,000 in the same 2008 period as a result of 2 units sold in
Carolina Oak.

ended June 30, 2009. No franchise revenues existed in the three months ended June 30, 2008 since we
acquired Pizza Fusion in September 2008. We collected more impact fees in the Land Division in the
three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same 2008 period associated with an increase in
building permits requested for new construction. These increases were partially offset by a
decrease in marketing fees in the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same 2008

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $10.3 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2009 from $13.0 million for the same 2008 period. The decrease was a result of,
among other things, lower compensation, benefits and office related expenses reflecting a decrease
in the associate headcount from 105 employees as of June 30, 2008 to 66 employees as of June 30,
2009, lower severance related expenses, lower insurance costs as Levitt and Sons related insurance
costs were not incurred after June 30, 2008, decreased sales and marketing expenses, and lower
professional services as we incurred costs associated with our securities investments in the three
months ended June 30, 2008 while these costs were not incurred in the three months ended June 30,
2009. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in depreciation expense in the three
months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same 2008 period as depreciation expense related to
Cores commercial assets was not recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2008 while the
commercial assets were classified as discontinued operations. These commercial assets were
reclassified back to continuing operations during the fourth quarter of 2008. Additionally, we
incurred franchise expenses related to Pizza Fusion in the three months ended June 30, 2009,
compared to no franchise expenses in the same 2008 period as we acquired Pizza Fusion in September
2008.

Interest expense consists of interest incurred less interest capitalized. Interest incurred
totaled $4.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and $5.6 million for the same 2008
period. Interest capitalized totaled $651,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and $3.1
million for the same 2008 period. Interest expense increased in the three months ended June 30,
2009 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2008 primarily as a result of less qualifying
assets for interest capitalization which resulted in less interest capitalized in the three months
ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same 2008 period. The increase was partially offset by lower
interest rates during the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same 2008 period. 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, 2009 and 2008 included
previously capitalized interest of approximately $80,000 and $44,000, respectively.
Earnings from Bluegreen Corporation
Bluegreen reported net income for the three months ended June 30, 2009 of $6.8 million, as
compared to $3.4 million for the same 2008 period. Our interest in Bluegreens earnings was $10.7
million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 (after the amortization of approximately $8.6
million related to the change in the basis as a result of the impairment charges on this investment
during the quarters ended September 30, 2008, December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009) compared to
$1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. We review our investment in Bluegreen for
impairment on a quarterly basis or as events or circumstances warrant for other-than-temporary
declines in value. See Note 8 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for further
details of the impairment analysis of our investment in Bluegreen.
Interest and Other Income
Interest and other income decreased to $277,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 from
$2.0 million for the same 2008 period. This decrease was mainly related to a $1.2 million gain on
sale of equity securities in the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to no gain on sale of
equity securities in the same 2009 period. In addition, interest income decreased as a result of
lower interest rates as well as a decrease in our cash balances for the three months ended June 30,
2009 compared to the same 2008 period.
Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes is estimated to result in an effective tax rate of 0.0% in
2009. The effective tax rate used for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was 0.0%. The 0.0%
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 losses in the past and expected
taxable losses in the foreseeable future, we may not have sufficient taxable income of the
appropriate character in the future to realize any portion of the net deferred tax asset.
For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2009 Compared to the Same 2008 Period:
Consolidated net income attributable to Woodbridge was $15.5 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2009, as compared to a consolidated net loss of $19.4 million for the same 2008 period.
The increase in net income for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was mainly associated with the
reversal into income of the loss in excess of investment in Levitt and Sons after Levitt and Sons
bankruptcy was finalized. The reversal resulted in a $40.4 million gain in the six months ended
June 30, 2009. Additionally, earnings from Bluegreen increased in the six months ended June 30,
2009 compared to the same 2008 period, and we incurred lower selling, general and administrative
expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same 2008 period. These factors
were offset in part by impairment charges on our investments of approximately $22.8 million
recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to no impairment charges related to the
investments during the same 2008 period, as well as an increase in interest expense and a decrease
in interest and other income in the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same 2008
period.

Revenues from sales of real estate increased to $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30,
2009 from $2.5 million for the same 2008 period. Revenues from sales of real estate for the six
months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were comprised of land sales, recognition of deferred revenue
and look back revenue. In Other Operations, revenues from sales of real estate were comprised of
home sales in Carolina Oak. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, our Land Division sold
approximately 13 acres, generating revenues of approximately $1.1 million, compared to the sale of
approximately 3 acres, which generated revenues of approximately $898,000, net of deferred revenue,
in the same 2008 period. Our Land Division recognized deferred revenue on previously sold land of
approximately $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to approximately
$768,000 in the same 2008 period. Look back revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and
2008 were approximately $32,000 and $90,000, respectively. In Other Operations, we earned $320,000
in revenues from sales of real estate as a result of 1 unit sold in Carolina Oak, compared to
revenues from sales of real estate of $635,000 in the same 2008 period as a result of 2 units sold

ended June 30, 2009. No franchise revenues existed in the six months ended June 30, 2008 since we
acquired Pizza Fusion in September 2008. The decrease in Land Division revenues was primarily due
to a decrease in marketing fees collected, and straight line rent amortization associated with
tenant improvement reimbursements. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in rental
revenues in the Land Division due to additional tenants.

Earnings from Bluegreen Corporation
Bluegreen reported net income for the six months ended June 30, 2009 of $10.4 million, as
compared to $4.8 million for the same 2008 period. Our interest in Bluegreens earnings was $17.1
million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 (after the amortization of approximately $13.9
million related to the change in the basis as a result of the impairment charges on this investment
during the quarters ended September 30, 2008, December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009) compared to
$1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008.
Interest and Other Income
Interest and other income decreased to $843,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2009 from
$3.6 million during the same 2008 period. This decrease was mainly related to a $1.2 million gain
on sale of equity securities in the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to no gain on sale of
equity securities in the same 2009 period. In addition, interest income decreased as a result of
lower interest rates as well as a decrease in our cash balances for the six months ended June 30,
2009 compared to the same 2008 period.
Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes is estimated to result in an effective tax rate of 0.0% in
2009. The effective tax rate used for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was 0.0%. The 0.0%
effective tax rate is a result of recording a valuation allowance for those deferred tax assets

Due to the nature and size of individual land transactions, our Land Division results have
historically fluctuated significantly. Although we have historically realized margins of between
approximately 40.0% and 60.0% on Land Division sales, margins on land sales have recently been, and
are expected to continue to be, below the historical range given the downturn in the real estate
markets and the significant decrease in demand. In addition to the impact of economic and market
factors, the sales price and margin of land sold varies depending upon: the location; the parcel
size; whether the parcel is sold as raw land, partially developed land or individually developed
lots; the degree to which the land is entitled; and whether the designated use of the 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 real estate tax costs capitalized to the particular land parcel 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 conditions in the real
estate markets do not improve or deteriorate further, we may not 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 ranged from $3.0 million to $3.9
million at June 30, 2009 compared to $96.2 million at June 30, 2008. While backlog is not an
exclusive indicator of future sales activity, it provides an indication of potential future sales
activity.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
June 30, 2009 compared to December 31, 2008
Our total assets at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 were $530.3 million and $559.3
million, respectively. The change in total assets primarily resulted from:
| a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $56.6 million, primarily related to cash used in operations offset by approximately $40.3 million repositioned into investment in timed deposits; and | ||
| a decrease in restricted cash of $13.4 million mainly associated with the settlement payment made in connection with the bankruptcy of Levitt and Sons. |
Total liabilities at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 were $384.3 million and $439.7
million, respectively. The change in total liabilities primarily resulted from:
| a decrease of $52.9 million associated with the reversal into income of the loss in excess of investment in Levitt and Sons as a result of the Bankruptcy Courts approval of the Levitt and Sons bankruptcy plan; and | ||
| a net decrease in accounts payable and other accrued liabilities of approximately $1.1 million primarily attributable to the timing of payments to our vendors. |
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Management assesses our liquidity in terms of our cash and cash equivalent balances and our
ability to generate cash to fund our operating and investment activities. We separately manage our
liquidity at the Parent Company level and at the operating subsidiary level. Subsidiary operations,
consisting primarily of Core Communities operations, are generally financed using proceeds from
sales of real estate inventory and debt financing using land or other developed assets as loan
collateral. Many of the financing agreements contain covenants at the subsidiary level. Parent
Company guarantees are provided only in limited circumstances and, when provided, are generally
provided on a limited basis. Available cash and our borrowing capacity may be used to pursue the
development of our master-planned communities or to pursue other investments. We also have
explored possible ways to monetize a portion of our investment in certain of Cores assets through
joint ventures or other strategic relationships, including the possible sale of such assets or
possible public or private offerings of debt or equity securities at Core. We have historically
utilized community development districts to fund development costs at Core when possible. We also
have used 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 near-term
liquidity needs. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements through the means described
above and, as determined to be appropriate by our board of directors and management, long-term
secured and unsecured indebtedness, and future issuances of equity and/or debt securities. As
previously discussed, on July 2, 2009, we entered into a definitive merger agreement with BFC
pursuant to which we will be merged with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of BFC. If the merger
agreement is consummated our separate corporate existence will cease and our Class A Common Stock
will no longer be publicly traded. We expect to continue to conduct our business, both prior to
and, as a wholly owned subsidiary of BFC, after the effective time of the merger, in the usual and
ordinary course. This may include, among other things, the continued pursuit of investments and
acquisitions within or outside of the real estate industry and the continued support of our
existing investments, including additional investments in affiliates such as Bluegreen.

Woodbridge (Parent Company level)
As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, Woodbridge had cash and short-term certificates of
deposits of $97.9 million and $107.3 million, respectively. Cash at the Parent Company level
decreased by $9.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009 primarily due to general and
administrative expenses and debt service costs.
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. During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company identified approximately $2.3 million of
deferred revenue on intercompany sales between Core and Carolina Oak that had been misclassified
against the negative investment in Levitt and Sons. As a result, the Company recorded a $2.3
million reclassification in the fourth quarter of 2008 between inventory of real estate and the
loss in excess of investment in subsidiary in the consolidated statements of financial condition.
As a result, as of December 31, 2008, the net negative investment was $52.9 million. After the
filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, Woodbridge incurred certain administrative costs relating to
services performed for Levitt and Sons and its employees (the Post Petition Services). Woodbridge
did not incur Post Petition Services in the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to
approximately $591,000 and $1.6 million incurred in the same periods in 2008, respectively.
On June 27, 2008, Woodbridge entered into a settlement agreement (the Settlement Agreement)
with the Debtors and the Joint Committee of Unsecured Creditors (the Joint Committee) appointed
in the Chapter 11 Cases. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, among other things, (i) Woodbridge
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 agreed to waive and release
substantially all of the claims it had against the Debtors, including its administrative expense
claims through July 2008, and (iii) the Debtors (joined by the Joint Committee) agreed to waive and
release any claims they had against Woodbridge and its affiliates. After certain of Levitt and
Sons creditors indicated that they objected to the terms of the Settlement Agreement and stated a
desire to pursue claims against Woodbridge, Woodbridge, the Debtors and the Joint Committee entered
into an amendment to the Settlement Agreement, pursuant to which Woodbridge would, in lieu of the
$12.5 million payment previously agreed to, pay $8 million to the Debtors bankruptcy estates and
place $4.5 million in a release fund to be disbursed to third party creditors in exchange for a
third party release and injunction. The amendment also provided for an additional $300,000 payment
by Woodbridge to a deposit holders fund. The Settlement Agreement, as amended, was subject to a
number of conditions, including the approval of the Bankruptcy Court. On February 20, 2009, the
Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming a plan of liquidation jointly proposed by Levitt and
Sons and the Joint Committee. That order also approved the settlement pursuant to the Settlement
Agreement, as amended. No appeal or rehearing of the Bankruptcy Courts order was timely filed by
any party, and the settlement was consummated on March 3, 2009, at which time payment was made in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the Settlement Agreement, as amended. Under cost method
accounting, the cost of settlement and the related $52.9 million liability (less $500,000 which was
determined as the settlement holdback and remained as an accrual pursuant to the Settlement
Agreement, as amended) was recognized into income in the six months ended June 30, 2009, resulting
in a $40.4 million gain on settlement of investment in subsidiary.
Core Communities
At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, Core had cash and cash equivalents of $10.2 million
and $16.9 million, respectively. Cash decreased $6.7 million during the six months ended June 30,
2009 primarily as a result of cash used to fund the continued development of Cores projects as
well as selling, general and administrative expenses. At June 30, 2009, Core had no immediate
availability under its various lines of credit. Core has made efforts to minimize its development
expenditures in both Tradition, Florida and in Tradition Hilton Head; however, Core continues to
incur expenses related to the development of these communities.
Cores loan agreements generally require repayment of specified amounts upon a sale of a
portion of the property collateralizing the debt. 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 the 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. Additionally, the loans
86
Table of Contents
Real Estate Development
(Woodbridge)
(Woodbridge)
which provide the primary financing for the commercial leasing projects contain certain debt
service coverage ratio covenants. If net operating income from these projects falls below levels
necessary to maintain compliance with these covenants, Core would be required to make principal
curtailment payments sufficient to reduce the loan balance to an amount which would bring Core into
compliance with the requirement, and these curtailment payments could be significant.
In January of 2009, Core was advised by one of its lenders that it had received an external
appraisal on the land that serves as collateral for a development mortgage note payable, which had
an outstanding balance of $86.4 million at June 30, 2009. The appraised value would suggest the
potential for a re-margining payment to bring the note payable back in line with the minimum
loan-to-value requirement. The lender is conducting its internal review procedures, including the
determination of the appraised value. As of the date of this filing, Core is in discussions with
the lender to restructure the loan which may eliminate any re-margining requirements; however,
there is no assurance that these discussions will be successful or that re-margining payments will
not otherwise be required in the future.
Core has a credit agreement with a financial institution which provides for borrowings of up
to $64.3 million. The credit agreement had an original maturity date of June 26, 2009 and a
variable interest rate of 30-day LIBOR plus 170 basis points or Prime Rate. During June 2009, the
loan agreement was modified to extend the maturity date to June 2012. The loan, as modified, bears
interest at a fixed interest rate of 5.5%. The terms of the modification also required Core to
pledge approximately 10 acres of additional collateral. The new terms of the loan also include a
debt service coverage ratio covenant of 1.10:1 and the elimination of a loan to value covenant. As
of June 30, 2009, the loan had an outstanding balance of $58.3 million.
Certain of Cores debt facilities contain financial covenants generally requiring certain net
worth, liquidity and loan to value ratios. Further, certain of 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 its cash to pay its debt and reduce its ability
to use its cash to fund its operations. If Core does not have sufficient cash to satisfy these
required payments, then Core would need to seek to refinance the debt or obtain alternative funds,
which may not be available on attractive terms, if at all. In the event that Core is unable to
refinance its debt or obtain additional funds, it may default on some or all of its existing debt
facilities.
Cores operations have been negatively impacted by the downturn in the residential and
commercial real-estate industries. Market conditions have adversely affected Cores commercial
leasing projects and its ability to complete sales of its real estate inventory and, as a
consequence, Core is experiencing cash flow deficits. Possible liquidity sources available to Core
include the sale of real estate inventory, including commercial properties, as well as debt and
outside equity financing, including secured borrowings using unencumbered land; however, there is
no assurance that any or all of these alternatives will be available to Core on attractive terms,
if at all, or that Core will otherwise be in a position to utilize such alternatives to improve its
cash position. In addition, while funding from Woodbridge is a possible source of liquidity,
Woodbridge is generally under no contractual obligation to provide funding to Core and there is no
assurance that it will do so.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
In connection with the development of certain of Cores 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, 2009 and December 31, 2008 consisted of district bonds
totaling $218.7 million at each of these dates with outstanding amounts of approximately $143.6
million and $130.5 million, respectively. Further, at June 30, 2009, approximately $68.4 million
were available under these bonds to fund future development expenditures. Bond obligations at June
30, 2009 mature in 2035 and 2040. As of June 30, 2009, 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
months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, Core recorded approximately $158,000 and $163,000,
respectively, in assessments on property owned by it in the districts. During the six months ended
June 30, 2009 and 2008, Core recorded approximately $317,000 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. 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 each of June 30, 2009 and
December 31, 2008, the liability related to developer obligations associated with Cores ownership
of the property was $3.3 million. This liability is included in the accompanying unaudited
consolidated statements of financial condition as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.
The following table summarizes our contractual obligations as of June 30, 2009 (in thousands):
Payments due by period | ||||||||||||||||||||

(1) | Amounts exclude interest because terms of repayment are based on construction activity and sales volume. In addition, a large portion of the debt is based on variable rates. | |
(2) | These amounts represent scheduled principal payments. 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 and junior
subordinated debentures. 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, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we had outstanding surety bonds of approximately $5.4
million and $8.2 million, respectively, which were related primarily to obligations to various
governmental entities to construct improvements in various communities. We currently estimate that
approximately $1.1 million of work remains to complete these improvements and that further
improvements to developments not being pursued will not be required. Accordingly, we do not believe
that any material amounts will likely be drawn on the outstanding surety bonds.

Levitt and Sons had approximately $33.3 million of 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 $11.7 million plus
costs and expenses in accordance with the surety indemnity agreements executed by Woodbridge. At
each of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we had $1.1 million in surety bonds accrual at
Woodbridge related to certain bonds where management believes it to be probable that Woodbridge
will be required to reimburse the surety under applicable indemnity agreements. Woodbridge did
not reimburse any amounts during the three months ended June 30, 2009, while it reimbursed
approximately $367,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2008 in accordance with the indemnity
agreement for bond claims paid during the period. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008,
Woodbridge reimbursed the surety approximately $37,000 and $532,000, respectively. It is unclear
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 in excess of the $1.1
million accrual. Woodbridge will not receive any repayment, assets or other consideration as
recovery of any amounts it may be required to pay. In September 2008, a surety filed a lawsuit to
require Woodbridge to post $5.4 million of collateral against a portion of the $11.7 million surety
bonds exposure in connection with demands made by a municipality. We believe that the municipality
does not have the right to demand payment under the bonds and we initiated a lawsuit against the
municipality. We do not believe a loss is probable and accordingly have not accrued any amount
related to this claim. However, based on claims made on the bonds, the surety requested that
Woodbridge post a $4.0 million letter of credit as security while the matter is litigated with the
municipality, and we have complied with that request.
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 did
not incur any significant severance and benefits related restructuring charges in the three months
ended June 30, 2009, while, during the three months ended June 30, 2008, Woodbridge incurred
charges of approximately $816,000. During the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, Woodbridge
incurred severance and benefits related restructuring charges of approximately $82,000 and $2.0
million, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, Woodbridge paid
approximately $79,000 and $1.2 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 Other Operations segment. For the six months ended
June 30, 2009 and 2008, these charges amounted to approximately $211,000 and $2.7 million,
respectively. 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.

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
December31, 2008 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, a significant change in the market price of their stock would not directly impact the
Companys financial results, but would likely have an effect on the market price of our common
stock. The market price of BFCs common stock and the market prices of BankAtlantic Bancorps and
Woodbridges common stock are important to the valuation and financing capability of BFC. BFC also
owns 800,000 shares of Benihanas Convertible Preferred Stock for which no market is available. The
ability to realize or liquidate this investment will depend on future market and economic
conditions and the ability to register the shares of Benihanas Common Stock acquired by BFC in the
event it converts its shares of Benihanas Convertible Preferred stock, all of which are subject to
significant risk. At June 30, 2009, the closing price of Benihanas Common Stock was $7.05 per
share. The market value of Benihanas Convertible Preferred Stock if converted to Benihanas Common
Stock at June 30, 2009 would have been approximately $11.1 million.
During the quarter ended December 31, 2008, the Company performed an impairment review of its
investment in Benihanas Convertible Preferred Stock to determine if an impairment adjustment was
needed. Based on the evaluation and the review of various qualitative and quantitative factors,
including the decline in the underlying trading value of Benihanas Common Stock and the redemption
provisions of Benihanas Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company determined that there was an
other-than-temporary decline of approximately $3.6 million and, accordingly, the investment was
written down to its fair value of approximately $16.4 million. At June 30, 2009, the Companys fair
value of its investments in Benihanas Convertible Preferred Stock was approximately $20.5 million
which includes gross unrealized gains of approximately $4.1 million (see Note 9 to the Companys
financial statements for further information).
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 are unpredictable. 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, 2009. For a discussion on the effect of changing interest rates on BankAtlantics
earnings during the six months ended June 30, 2009, see Item 2. Financial Services Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Net Interest Income.
Woodbridge
Woodbridge has a risk of loss associated with its borrowings as Woodbridge is subject to
interest rate risk on its long-term debt. At June 30, 2009, Woodbridge had $185.1 million in
borrowings with adjustable rates tied to the Prime Rate and/or LIBOR rate and $163.4 million in
borrowings with fixed or initially-fixed rates. Consequently, the impact on Woodbridges variable
rate debt from changes in interest rates may affect its earnings and cash flow but would generally
not impact the fair value of such debt except to the extent of changes in credit spreads. 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.
90
Table of Contents
Assuming the variable rate debt balance of $185.1 million outstanding at June 30, 2009 (which
does not include initially fixed-rate obligations which do not become floating rate during 2009)
was to remain constant, each one percentage point increase in interest rates would increase the
interest incurred by Woodbridge by approximately $1.9 million per year.
Woodbridge is subject to equity pricing risks associated with its investments in Bluegreen and
Office Depot. The value of these securities will vary based on the results of operations and
financial condition of these investments, the general liquidity of Bluegreens and Office Depots
common stock and general equity market conditions. The trading market for Bluegreens and Office
Depots common stock may not be liquid enough to permit Woodbridge to sell the shares of such stock
that it owns without significantly reducing the market price of the shares, if Woodbridge is able
to sell them at all.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Wilmine Almonor, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, vs. BankAtlantic
Bancorp, Inc., Steven M. Coldren, Mary E. Ginestra, Willis N. Holcombe, Jarett S. Levan, John E.
Abdo, David A. Lieberman, Charlie C. Winningham II, D. Keith Cobb, Bruno L. DiGiulian, Alan B.
Levan, James A. White, the Security Plus Plan Committee, and Unknown Fiduciary Defendants 1-50, No.
0:07-cv-61862-DMM, United States District Court, Southern District of Florida.
On December 20, 2007, Wilmine Almonor filed a purported class action in the United States
District Court for the Southern District of Florida against BankAtlantic Bancorp and the
above-listed officers, directors, employees and organizations. The Complaint alleges that during
the purported class period of November 9, 2005 to present, BankAtlantic Bancorp and the individual
defendants violated the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) by permitting company
employees to choose to invest in BankAtlantic Bancorps Class A common stock in light of the facts
alleged in the Hubbard securities lawsuit. BankAtlantic Bancorp seeks to assert claims for breach
of fiduciary duties, the duty to provide accurate information, the duty to avoid conflicts of
interest under ERISA and seeks unspecified damages. On February 18, 2009, the Plaintiff filed a
Second Amended Complaint, making substantially the same allegations and asserting the same claims
for relief. On July 14, 2009, the Court granted in-part Defendants motion to dismiss the Second
Amended Complaint, dismissing the following individual Defendants from Count II: Lewis Sarrica,
Susan McGregor, Patricia Lefebvre, Jeffrey Mindling and Gerry Lachnicht. On July 28, 2009, the
Court denied Plaintiffs motion for class certification. BankAtlantic Bancorp believes the claims
to be without merit and intends to vigorously defend the actions.
D.W. Hugo, individually and on behalf of Nominal Defendant BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. vs.
BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc., Alan B. Levan, Jarett S. Levan, Jay C. McClung, Marcia K. Snyder,
Valerie Toalson, James A. White, John E. Abdo, D. Keith Cobb, Steven M. Coldren, and David A.
Lieberman, Case No. 0:08-cv-61018-UU, United States District Court, Southern District of Florida
On July 2, 2008, D.W. Hugo filed a purported class action, which was brought as a derivative
action on behalf of BankAtlantic Bancorp pursuant to Florida laws, in the United States District
Court for the Southern District of Florida against BankAtlantic Bancorp and the above listed
officers and directors. The Complaint alleges that the individual defendants breached their
fiduciary duties by engaging in certain lending practices with respect to BankAtlantics Commercial
Real Estate Loan Portfolio. The Complaint further alleges that BankAtlantic Bancorps public
filings and statements did not fully disclose the risks associated with the Commercial Real Estate
Loan Portfolio and seeks damages on behalf of BankAtlantic Bancorp. On December 2, 2008, the
Circuit Court for Broward County stayed a separately filed action captioned Albert R. Feldman,
Derivatively on behalf of Nominal Defendant BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. vs. Alan B. Levan, et al.,
Case No. 0846795 07, which attempted to assert substantially the same allegations as in the Hugo
matter, but with somewhat different state law causes of action. The court granted the motion to
stay the action pending further order of the court and allowing any party to move for relief from
the stay, provided the moving party gives at least thirty days written notice to all of the
non-moving parties. On July 1, 2009, the parties in the Hugo action reached a settlement, subject
to approval by the Court and the required notice to BankAtlantic Bancorps shareholders. The
proposed settlement provides for an exchange of mutual releases and a dismissal with prejudice of
all claims against all Defendants. There is no additional consideration, monetary or otherwise,
for the settlement. On July 8, 2009, Albert R. Feldman filed a motion to intervene in the Hugo
action for the limited purpose of staying the Hugo action in favor of the prosecution of his
pending state court action. On July 27, 2009, Plaintiff D.W. Hugo and Defendants filed separate
oppositions to the motion to intervene. The motion to intervene remains pending before the Court.
BankAtlantic Bancorp believes the claims to be without merit and intends to vigorously defend the
actions.
Dixon v. Vesta Holdings I, LLC. et al, Fulton County Superior Court, Civil Case No. 2007 CV 143456
The plaintiff brought this action individually and on behalf of all others situated against
Vesta Holdings I, LLC as Nominee for Heartwood 11, LLC and others. Heartwood 11, LLC is a wholly
owned subsidiary of BankAtlantic. The plaintiff seeks compensatory, injunctive and punitive relief
based on alleged improper acquisition of property tax liens issued for unpaid taxes as well as the
subsequent foreclosures and sales of the subject properties to third parties. The case is in its
early stages and management is analyzing the matter.
