BFC Financial Corporation
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Presentation of Interim Financial Statements
     BFC Financial Corporation (“BFC” or, unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, “we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company”) is a diversified holding company whose principal holdings include a controlling interest in BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including BankAtlantic (“BankAtlantic Bancorp”), a controlling interest in Bluegreen Corporation and its subsidiaries (“Bluegreen”), a controlling interest in Core Communities, LLC (“Core” or “Core Communities”) and a non-controlling interest in Benihana, Inc. (“Benihana”). As a result of its position as the controlling shareholder of BankAtlantic Bancorp, BFC is a “unitary savings bank holding company” regulated by the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”).
     As previously disclosed, on September 21, 2009, BFC consummated its merger with Woodbridge Holdings Corporation pursuant to which Woodbridge Holdings Corporation merged with and into Woodbridge Holdings, LLC (“Woodbridge”), BFC’s wholly-owned subsidiary which continued as the surviving company of the merger and the successor entity to Woodbridge Holdings Corporation. As a result of the merger, Woodbridge Holdings Corporation’s separate corporate existence ceased and its Class A Common Stock is no longer publicly traded.
     On November 16, 2009, an additional 7.4 million shares of the common stock of Bluegreen was purchased for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $23 million. As a result, our ownership interest increased to approximately 16.9 million shares, or approximately 52%, of Bluegreen’s outstanding common stock. Accordingly, we are now deemed to have a controlling interest in Bluegreen and, under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), Bluegreen’s results since November 16, 2009, the date of the share purchase, are consolidated in BFC’s financial statements. Prior to November 16, 2009, the approximate 29% equity investment in Bluegreen was accounted for using the equity method. See Note 4 for additional information about the Bluegreen share acquisition.
     GAAP requires that BFC consolidate the financial results of the entities in which it has controlling interest. As a consequence, the assets and liabilities of all such entities are presented on a consolidated basis in BFC’s financial statements. However, except as otherwise noted, the debts and obligations of the consolidated entities, including BankAtlantic Bancorp, Bluegreen, Woodbridge and Core are not direct obligations of BFC and are non-recourse to BFC. Similarly, the assets of those entities are not available to BFC absent a dividend or distribution from those entities. The recognition by BFC of income from controlled entities is determined based on the total percent of economic ownership in those entities. At June 30, 2010, we owned approximately 43% of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s Class A and Class B common stock, representing in the aggregate approximately 69% of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s total voting power, and approximately 52% of Bluegreen’s common stock. See Note 4 for information regarding our participation in BankAtlantic Bancorp’s recently completed rights offering to its shareholders.
     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 management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, as are necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s consolidated financial condition at June 30, 2010, the consolidated results of operations, comprehensive loss and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, and the changes in consolidated equity for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 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 period’s presentation.
     As a result of the Woodbridge merger on September 21, 2009 and the Bluegreen share acquisition on November 16, 2009, the Company reorganized its reportable segments to better align its segments with the current operations of its businesses. The Company’s business activities currently consist of (i) Real Estate and Other Activities and (ii) Financial Services Activities. The Company currently reports the results of operations of these business activities through six reportable segments: BFC Activities, Real Estate Operations, Bluegreen Resorts, Bluegreen Communities, BankAtlantic and BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company. As a result of this reorganization, our BFC Activities segment now includes activities formerly reported in the Woodbridge Other Operations segment and our Real Estate Operations segment is comprised of what was previously identified as the Land Division.

     In December 2009, Core Communities reinitiated efforts to sell two of its commercial leasing projects (the “Projects”) and began soliciting bids from several potential buyers to purchase assets associated with the Projects. Due to this decision, the assets associated with the Projects were reclassified as assets held for sale and the liabilities related to these assets were reclassified as liabilities related to assets held for sale in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Additionally, the results of operations for the Projects were reclassified to income from discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. On June 10, 2010, Core sold the Projects to Inland Real Estate Acquisition, Inc. (“Inland”) for approximately $75.4 million. As a result of the sale, Core realized a gain on sale of discontinued operations of approximately $2.6 million in the second quarter of 2010. See Note 5 for further information.
     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 Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations in discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $4.2 million of earn-out consideration.
2. Cumulative Effect of Change in Accounting Principle
     On January 1, 2010, BFC, Bluegreen and BankAtlantic Bancorp adopted an amendment to the accounting guidance for transfers of financial assets and an amendment to the accounting guidance associated with the consolidation of VIEs. As a result of the adoption of these accounting standards, Bluegreen consolidated seven existing special purpose finance entities (“QSPEs”) associated with prior securitization transactions which previously qualified for off-balance sheet sales treatment, and BankAtlantic Bancorp consolidated its joint venture that conducts a factoring business. Accordingly, Bluegreen’s special purpose finance entities and BankAtlantic Bancorp’s factoring joint venture are now consolidated in BFC’s financial statements. The consolidation of Bluegreen’s special purpose finance entities resulted in a one-time non-cash after-tax reduction to retained earnings of $2.1 million. No charges were recorded to retained earnings in connection with the consolidation of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s factoring joint venture.
     The consolidation of Bluegreen’s special purpose finance entities also resulted in the following impacts to BFC’s Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition at January 1, 2010: (1) assets increased by $413.8 million, primarily representing the consolidation of notes receivable, net of allowance, partially offset by the elimination of retained interests; (2) liabilities increased by $416.1 million, primarily representing the consolidation of non-recourse debt obligations to securitization investors, partially offset by the elimination of certain deferred tax liabilities; and (3) total equity decreased by approximately $2.3 million, including a decrease to noncontrolling interest of approximately $1.1 million.

Prior to January 1, 2010, the investment in BBC was accounted for using the equity method of accounting.
3. Liquidity
     BFC
     Except as otherwise noted, the debts and obligations of BankAtlantic Bancorp, Bluegreen, Woodbridge and Core are not direct obligations of BFC and generally are non-recourse to BFC. Similarly, the assets of those entities are not available to BFC, absent a dividend or distribution from those entities. BFC’s principal sources of liquidity are its available cash, short-term investments, dividends or distributions from subsidiaries and dividends from Benihana. As discussed further in this report, recent tax law changes have resulted in the receipt of significant tax refunds.
     We may use our available funds to make additional investments in the companies within our consolidated group, invest in equity securities and other investments, fund operations or repurchase shares of our Class A Common Stock pursuant to our share repurchase program. The current program authorizes management, at its discretion, to repurchase shares from time to time subject to market conditions and other factors. No shares were repurchased during the six months ended June 30, 2010 or the year ended December 31, 2009. As discussed further in this report, during June and July 2010, BFC acquired an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s Class A Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $15 million as a result of its exercise of subscription rights distributed in BankAtlantic Bancorp’s recently completed rights offering to its shareholders.
     Since March 2009, BFC has not received cash dividends from BankAtlantic Bancorp and does not expect to receive cash dividends from BankAtlantic Bancorp for the foreseeable future because BankAtlantic Bancorp is currently prohibited from paying dividends on its common stock. Furthermore, certain of Bluegreen’s credit facilities contain terms which may limit the payment of cash dividends.
     We believe that our current financial condition and credit relationships, together with anticipated cash from operating activities and other sources of funds, including tax refunds and proceeds from the disposition of certain properties or investments, will provide for anticipated near-term liquidity needs. With respect to long-term liquidity requirements, BFC may also seek to raise funds through the issuance of long-term secured or unsecured indebtedness, equity and/or debt securities or through 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.

Table of Contents

     Woodbridge
     The development activities at Carolina Oak, which is within Tradition Hilton Head, were suspended in the fourth quarter of 2008 as a result of, among other things, an overall softening of demand for new homes and a decline in the overall economy. In 2009, the housing industry continued to face significant challenges and Woodbridge made the decision to cease all activities at Carolina Oak. In the fourth quarter of 2009, we reviewed the inventory of real estate at Carolina Oak for impairment and as a result, recorded a $16.7 million impairment charge to adjust the carrying amount of Carolina Oak’s inventory to its fair value of $10.8 million. Woodbridge is the obligor under a $37.2 million loan that is collateralized by the Carolina Oak property. During 2009, the lender declared the loan to be in default and filed an action for foreclosure and while there may have been an issue with respect to compliance with certain covenants in the loan agreements, we do not believe that an event of default had occurred as was alleged. Woodbridge continues to seek a satisfactory conclusion with regard to the debt, however, the outcome of these efforts and the litigation is uncertain.
     As previously disclosed, under Florida law, holders of Woodbridge’s Class A Common Stock who did not vote to approve the merger between Woodbridge and BFC and properly asserted and exercised their appraisal rights with respect to their shares (“Dissenting Holders”) are entitled to receive a cash payment in an amount equal to the fair value of their shares as determined in accordance with the provisions of Florida law in lieu of the shares of BFC’s Class A Common Stock that they would otherwise have been entitled to receive. Dissenting Holders, who collectively held approximately 4.2 million shares of Woodbridge’s Class A Common Stock, have rejected Woodbridge’s offer of $1.10 per share and requested payment for their shares based on their respective fair value estimates of Woodbridge’s Class A Common Stock. Woodbridge is currently a party to legal proceedings relating to the Dissenting Holders appraisal process. In December 2009, a $4.6 million liability was recorded with a corresponding reduction to additional paid-in capital, which is reflected in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition representing in the aggregate Woodbridge’s offer to the Dissenting Holders. However, the appraisal rights litigation is currently ongoing and its outcome is uncertain. As a result, there is no assurance as to the amount of the payment that will ultimately be required to be made to the Dissenting Holders, which amount may be greater than the $4.6 million that we have accrued.
     Core Communities
     During 2009, the recession continued and the demand for residential and commercial inventory showed no signs of recovery, particularly in the geographic regions where Core’s properties are located. The decrease in land sales in 2009 and continued cash flow deficits contributed to, among other things, the deterioration of Core’s liquidity. As a result, Core severely limited its development expenditures in Tradition, Florida and has completely discontinued development activity in Tradition Hilton Head. Its assets have been impaired significantly and in an effort to bring about an orderly liquidation without a bankruptcy filing, Core commenced negotiations with all of its lenders and is seeking to liquidate its assets in an orderly way. Core is currently in default under the terms of all of its outstanding debt totaling approximately $139.2 million. Core continues to pursue all options with its lenders, including offering deeds in lieu and other similar transactions wherein Core would relinquish title to substantially all of its assets. During February 2010, with Core’s concurrence, a significant portion of the land in Tradition Hilton Head was placed under the control of a court appointed receiver. In connection with the receivership, Core entered into a separate agreement with the lender that, among other things, grants Core a right of first refusal to purchase the $25.3 million loan in the event that the lender decides to sell the loan to a third party. This loan is collateralized by inventory that had a net carrying value of $33 million, net of impairment charges during 2009 of approximately $29.6 million. Separately, on April 7, 2010 and April 8, 2010, another of Core’s lenders filed a foreclosure action in South Carolina and Florida, respectively, seeking foreclosure of mortgage loans totaling approximately $113.8 million, plus additional interest and costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees. Core is currently in negotiations with the lender regarding, among other things, accelerating the foreclosure actions, granting the lender a perfected first lien and security interest in certain additional Core subsidiaries, and releasing and indemnifying Core from any future obligations. As of June 30, 2010, the net carrying value of Core’s inventory collateralizing the defaulted loans that are the subject of foreclosure proceedings was $82 million, net of impairment charges during 2009 of approximately $33.7 million. There was no impairment charge during the six months ended June 30, 2010. While negotiations with its lenders continue, there is no assurance that Core will be successful in reaching any agreement with its lenders with respect to resolution of its obligations.

     Core is also a party to a certain Development Agreement with the city of Hardeeville, SC, under which Core is obligated to fund $1 million towards the building of a fire station. Funding was scheduled in three installments: the first installment of $100,000 was due on October 21, 2009; the second installment of $450,000 was due on January 1, 2010; and the final installment of $450,000 was due on April 1, 2010. Additionally, Core was obligated to fund certain staffing costs of $200,000 under the terms of this agreement. Core did not pay any of the required installments and has not funded the $200,000 payment for staffing. On November 5, 2009, Core received a notice of default from the city for nonpayment. In the event that Core is unable to obtain additional funds to make these payments, it may be unable to cure the default on its obligation to the city, which could result in a loss of entitlements associated with the development project.
     On June 10, 2010, Core sold the Projects to Inland for approximately $75.4 million. As a result of the sale, Core realized a gain on sale of discontinued operations of approximately $2.6 million in the second quarter of 2010. The sale resulted in net cash proceeds to Core of approximately $1.5 million. See Note 5 for further information regarding the Projects.
     Based on an ongoing evaluation of its cost structure and in light of current market conditions, Core reduced its head count by 41 employees during 2009, resulting in approximately $1.3 million of severance charges recorded during the fourth quarter of 2009. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, severance related payments at Core totaled approximately $378,000 and $1.0 million, respectively.
     The negative impact of the adverse real estate market conditions on Core, together with Core’s limited liquidity, have caused substantial doubt regarding Core’s ability to continue as a going concern if Woodbridge chooses not to provide Core with the cash needed to meet its obligations when and as they arise. Woodbridge has not committed to fund any of Core’s obligations or cash requirements, and it is not currently anticipated that Woodbridge will provide additional funds to Core. As a result, the consolidated financial statements and the financial information provided for Core do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. See Note 19 for Core’s results which are reported in the Real Estate Operations segment.
     BankAtlantic Bancorp and BankAtlantic
     Both BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company and BankAtlantic actively manage their liquidity and cash flow needs. BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company had cash of $8.4 million as of June 30, 2010, does not have debt maturing until March 2032 and has the ability to defer interest payments on its junior subordinated debentures until December 2013; however, based on current interest rates, accrued and unpaid interest of approximately $72.6 million would be due in December 2013 if interest is deferred until that date. BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company’s operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 were $3.4 million and $5.0 million, respectively, and $1.9 million and $3.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively. BankAtlantic’s liquidity is dependent, in part, on its ability to maintain or increase deposit levels and the availability of borrowings under its lines of credit and Treasury and Federal Reserve lending programs. As of June 30, 2010, BankAtlantic had $454 million of cash and approximately $788 million of available unused borrowings, consisting of $588 million of unused FHLB line of credit capacity, $191 million of unpledged securities, and $9 million of available borrowing capacity at the Federal Reserve. However, such available borrowings are subject to periodic reviews and may be terminated, suspended or reduced at any time. Additionally, interest rate changes, additional collateral requirements, disruptions in the capital markets or deterioration in BankAtlantic’s financial condition may reduce the amounts it is able to borrow or make terms of the borrowings and deposits less favorable. As a result, there is a risk that the cost of funds will increase or that the availability of funding sources may decrease.
     The substantial uncertainties throughout the Florida and national economies and the U.S. banking industry coupled with current market conditions have adversely affected BankAtlantic Bancorp’s and BankAtlantic’s results. As of June 30, 2010, BankAtlantic’s capital was in excess of all regulatory “well capitalized” levels. However, the OTS, in 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. BankAtlantic’s communications with the OTS include 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 BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company. If higher capital requirements are imposed by its regulators, BankAtlantic could be required to raise additional capital. If BankAtlantic is required to raise additional capital, there is no assurance that BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company or BankAtlantic would be successful in raising the additional capital on favorable terms or at all and it may involve the issuance of securities in transactions highly dilutive to BankAtlantic Bancorp’s existing shareholders, including BFC. Although BankAtlantic Bancorp and BankAtlantic have experienced operating losses since June 2007, BankAtlantic maintains capital at “well capitalized” levels and BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company believes that it maintains sufficient liquidity to fund operations at least through June 30, 2011. However, if unanticipated market factors emerge and/or BankAtlantic Bancorp is unable to execute its plans or if BankAtlantic or BankAtlantic Bancorp requires capital and BankAtlantic Bancorp is unable to raise capital, it could have a material adverse impact on BFC’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

4. Share Acquisitions
Bluegreen Share Acquisition
     On November 16, 2009, approximately 7.4 million shares of common stock of Bluegreen were purchased for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $23 million, increasing our interest from 9.5 million shares, or 29%, of Bluegreen’s common stock to 16.9 million shares, or 52%, of Bluegreen’s common stock which represents a controlling interest in Bluegreen. As a result, the Company consolidates all of Bluegreen’s wholly-owned subsidiaries and entities in which Bluegreen holds a controlling financial interest. The Company also consolidates Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations, LLC (the “Bluegreen/Big Cedar Joint Venture”), in which Bluegreen holds a 51% equity interest, has an active role as the day-to-day manager of its activities, and has majority voting control of its management committee. The operating results of Bluegreen are included in the Company’s Bluegreen Resorts and Bluegreen Communities segments.
     As part of the accounting for the November 2009 Bluegreen share acquisition, management is continuing to evaluate the fair value of Bluegreen’s inventory and certain of Bluegreen’s contracts, and as such, certain amounts at December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2010 are estimates and are subject to revision as more detailed analyses are completed and additional information becomes available. Any change resulting from the final evaluation of the inventory and contracts of Bluegreen as of the acquisition date may change the amount of the $183.1 million “bargain purchase gain” recorded during the fourth quarter of 2009.
Additional Shares Purchased in BankAtlantic Bancorp’s Rights Offering
     On June 18, 2010, BankAtlantic Bancorp commenced a rights offering (the “Rights Offering”) to its shareholders of record as of the close of business on June 14, 2010 (the “Record Date”). In the Rights Offering, BankAtlantic Bancorp distributed to each eligible shareholder 0.327 subscription rights for each share of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock owned as of the close of business on the Record Date. Fractional subscription rights were rounded up to the next largest whole number. Each subscription right entitled the holder thereof to purchase one share of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s Class A Common Stock at the purchase price of $1.50 per share. Shareholders who exercised their basic subscription rights in full were also given the opportunity to request to purchase any additional shares of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s Class A Common Stock that remained unsubscribed for at the expiration of the Rights Offering at the same $1.50 per share purchase price, subject to certain determinations and allocations. The Rights Offering expired on July 20, 2010.
     During June 2010, BFC exercised its basic subscription rights, in full, amounting to 5,986,865 shares of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s Class A Common Stock, and requested to purchase an additional 4,013,135 shares of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s Class A Common Stock to the extent available. In connection with the exercise of its subscription rights, BFC delivered to BankAtlantic Bancorp $15.0 million in cash, which represented the full purchase price for all of the shares subscribed for by BFC. In exchange, BFC was issued 4,697,184 shares of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s Class A Common Stock on June 28, 2010, which represented a portion of its basic subscription rights exercise. The issuance of these shares increased BFC’s ownership interest in BankAtlantic Bancorp from 37% to 43% and BFC’s voting interest in BankAtlantic Bancorp from 66% to 69%. The balance of BFC’s subscription was treated as an advance to BankAtlantic Bancorp, as evidenced by a related $8.0 million promissory note executed by BankAtlantic Bancorp in favor of BFC. The promissory note had a scheduled maturity of July 30, 2010 and was payable in cash or shares of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s Class A Common Stock issuable to BFC in connection with its exercise of subscription rights in the Rights Offering. The promissory note was eliminated in consolidation as of June 30, 2010. See Note 21, Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions, for further information regarding the promissory note. In July 2010, in connection with the completion of the Rights Offering, the promissory note was satisfied in accordance with its terms through the issuance to BFC of the additional 5,302,816 shares of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s Class A Common Stock subscribed for by BFC in the Rights Offering, which increased BFC’s ownership interest in BankAtlantic Bancorp to 45% and BFC’s voting interest in BankAtlantic Bancorp to 71%.

Table of Contents

     BFC’s acquisition of shares of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s Class A Common Stock in the Rights Offering is being accounted for as an equity transaction in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) authoritative guidance in connection with noncontrolling interests in consolidated financial statements which provides that changes in a parent’s ownership interest which do not result in the parent losing its controlling interest are reported as equity transactions.
5. Discontinued Operations
Real Estate
     Core Communities
     In December 2009, Core Communities reinitiated efforts to sell the Projects and began soliciting bids from several potential buyers for the immediate sale of the Projects in their present condition. Due to this decision, the assets associated with the Projects were classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented in accordance with the accounting guidance for the disposal of long-lived assets.
     The assets were reclassified as assets held for sale and the liabilities related to these assets were reclassified as liabilities related to assets held for sale in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Additionally, the results of operations for the Projects were reclassified to income from discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Depreciation related to these assets held for sale ceased in December 2009. The Company elected not to separate these assets in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the periods presented. Management reviewed the net asset value and estimated the fair market value of the assets based on the bids received related to these assets and determined that an impairment charge was necessary to write down the aggregate carrying value of the Projects to fair value less the estimated costs to sell and, accordingly, recorded an impairment charge of approximately $13.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2009.
     On June 10, 2010, Core sold the Projects to Inland for approximately $75.4 million. As a result of the sale, a gain on sale of discontinued operations of approximately $2.6 million was realized in the second quarter of 2010. In connection with the sale, the lender reduced the outstanding balance of the loans related to the assets held for sale by approximately $800,000 as a result of negotiations with the lender. Core used the proceeds from the sale to Inland to repay these loans. As a result, Core was released from its obligations with the lender.

     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 Stifel’s election, based on certain defined Ryan Beck revenues over the two-year period immediately following the Ryan Beck sale, which ended on February 28, 2009. The contingent earn-out payments were accounted for when earned as additional proceeds from the sale of Ryan Beck common stock. BankAtlantic Bancorp received additional earn-out consideration of $4.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009. The $4.2 million of earn-out consideration is included as discontinued operations in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2009.
6. Fair Value Measurement
     Fair value is defined as the price that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. There are three main valuation techniques to measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities: the market approach, the income approach and the cost approach. The accounting literature defines an input fair value hierarchy that has three broad levels and gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).
     The valuation techniques are summarized below:
     The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.
     The income approach uses financial models to convert future amounts to a single present amount. These valuation techniques include present value and option-pricing models.
     The cost approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset. This technique is often referred to as current replacement costs.
     The input fair value hierarchy is summarized below:
     Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at each reporting date. An active market for the asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and is used to measure fair value whenever available.

17


Table of Contents

     Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, a Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, that is, markets in which there are few transactions for the asset or liability, the prices are not current, or price quotations vary substantially either over time or among market makers (for example, some brokered markets), or in which little information is released publicly (for example, a principal-to-principal market); inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (for example, interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, and default rates).
     Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are only used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

     The valuation techniques and the inputs used in our financial statements to measure the fair value of our recurring financial instruments are described below.
     The fair values of agency bonds, municipal bonds 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 Bancorp 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 Bancorp 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 Bancorp 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.
     Other 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, 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 BankAtlantic Bancorp has developed or based on observable market data that BankAtlantic Bancorp adjusted based on judgment of the factors BankAtlantic Bancorp believes a market participant would use to value the securities (Level 3).
     The fair value of foreign currency put options was obtained using the market approach and quoted market prices using Level 1 inputs.
     The estimated fair value of the Company’s investment in Benihana’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“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 of Benihana’s common stock that BFC would receive upon conversion of its shares of Benihana Convertible Preferred Stock.

     Loans Receivable Measured For Impairment
     Impaired loans receivable are generally valued based on the fair value of the underlying collateral. BankAtlantic Bancorp primarily uses third party appraisals to assist in measuring non-homogenous impaired loans. These appraisals generally use the market or income approach valuation technique and use market observable data to formulate an opinion of the fair value of the loan’s collateral. However, the appraiser uses professional judgment in determining the fair value of the collateral or properties, and these values may also be adjusted for changes in market conditions subsequent to the appraisal date. When current appraisals are not available for certain loans receivable, judgment on market conditions is used to adjust the most current appraisal. The sales prices may reflect prices of sales contracts not closed, and the amount of time required to sell out the real estate project may be derived from current appraisals of similar projects. As a consequence, the calculation of the fair value of the collateral uses Level 3 inputs. BankAtlantic Bancorp generally uses third party broker price opinions or an automated valuation service to measure the fair value of the collateral for impaired homogenous loans in the establishment of specific reserves or charge-downs when these loans become 120 days delinquent. The third party valuations from real estate professionals use Level 3 inputs in the determination of the fair values.
     Impaired Real Estate Owned and Real Estate Held for Sale
     Real estate is generally valued with the assistance of 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 appraisers or brokers use professional judgments in determining the fair value of the properties and these values may also be adjusted 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
     In determining the fair value of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s reporting units in the test of goodwill for impairment, BankAtlantic Bancorp uses 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 Bancorp’s 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 include anticipated growth in loans, tax certificates, securities, interest rates and revenue. The discount rates are estimated based on a Capital Asset 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 significantly impact 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 the 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 use Level 3 inputs in the determination of fair value.

     Included on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 is goodwill of $12.2 million associated with BankAtlantic’s capital services reporting unit which was tested for potential impairment on September 30, 2009 (the annual testing date) and was determined not to be impaired. There were no events that occurred since the annual testing date that BankAtlantic Bancorp believes would more likely than not reduce the carrying value of BankAtlantic’s capital services reporting unit below its fair value.

     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 estimated value would be received upon sale or disposition of the asset or pay the 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 Company’s 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.

     Interest bearing deposits in other financial institutions are certificates of deposits guaranteed by the FDIC with maturities of less than one year. Due to the FDIC guarantee and the short maturity of these certificates of deposit, the fair value of these deposits approximates the carrying value.
     Fair values are estimated for loan portfolios with similar financial characteristics. Loans receivable 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 BankAtlantic Bancorp’s historical experience with prepayments for each loan classification, modified as required, by an estimate of the effect of current economic and lending conditions. Management of BankAtlantic Bancorp 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 is based on discounted expected cash flows using discount rates that we believe 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.
     The fair values of Bluegreen notes receivable are based on estimated future cash flows considering contractual payments and estimates of prepayments and defaults, discounted at a market rate.
     As permitted by applicable accounting guidance, 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 shown in the above table at its 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 using 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 is calculated using the income approach with Level 2 inputs. Contractual cash flows are discounted 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 BankAtlantic’s subordinated debentures were based on discounted values of contractual cash flows at a market discount rate adjusted for non-performance risk.
     The estimated fair values of notes and mortgage notes payable and other borrowings, including receivable-backed notes payable were based upon current rates and spreads it would pay to obtain similar borrowings and also used discounted values of contractual cash flows at a market discount rate.
     The fair value of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s mortgage-backed bonds included in notes and mortgage notes payable and other borrowings as of December 31, 2009 was based on discounted values of contractual cash flows at a market discount rate. The mortgage-backed bonds were retired during the six months ended June 30, 2010 resulting in a $7,000 loss.
     In determining the fair value of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s junior subordinated debentures, BankAtlantic Bancorp used NASDAQ price quotes available with respect to its $64.8 million of publicly traded trust preferred securities related to its junior subordinated debentures (“public debentures”). However, $250.4 million of the outstanding trust preferred securities related to its junior subordinated debentures are not traded, but are privately held in pools (“private debentures”) and with no liquidity or readily determinable source for valuation. BankAtlantic Bancorp has deferred the payment of interest with respect to all of its junior subordinated debentures as permitted by the terms of these securities. Based on the deferral status and the lack of liquidity and ability of a holder to actively sell such private debentures, the fair value of these private debentures may be subject to a greater discount to par and have a lower fair value than indicated by the public debenture price quotes. However, due to their private nature and the lack of a trading market, fair value of the private debentures was not readily determinable at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, and as a practical alternative, BankAtlantic Bancorp used the NASDAQ price quotes of the public debentures to value its remaining outstanding junior subordinated debentures whether privately held or publicly traded.

     The estimated fair value of Woodbridge’s and Bluegreen’s junior subordinated debentures as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were based on a discounted value of contractual cash flows at a market discount rate or market price quotes from the over-the-counter bond market.
     The carrying amount and fair values of BankAtlantic’s commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees and forward commitments are not considered significant. (See Note 20 for the contractual amounts of BankAtlantic’s financial instrument commitments.)

     Management reviews its investment portfolios for other-than-temporary declines in value quarterly. As a consequence of the BankAtlantic Bancorp’s review during 2009, the Company recognized $1.4 million of other-than-temporary declines in value related to an equity investment in an unrelated financial institution.
BFC — Benihana Investment
     The Company owns 800,000 shares of Benihana’s Convertible Preferred Stock. The Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into an aggregate of 1,578,943 shares of Benihana’s Common Stock at a conversion price of $12.67, subject to adjustment from time to time upon certain defined events. Based on the number of currently outstanding shares of Benihana’s capital stock, the Convertible Preferred Stock, if converted, would represent an approximately 19% voting interest and an approximately 9% economic interest in Benihana.
     The Convertible Preferred Stock was acquired pursuant to an agreement with Benihana on June 8, 2004 to purchase an aggregate of 800,000 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock for $25.00 per share. The shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock have voting rights on an “as if converted” basis together with Benihana’s Common Stock on all matters put to a vote of the holders of Benihana’s Common Stock. The approval of a majority of the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding, voting as a single class, are required for certain events outside the ordinary course of business. 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 of $20 million 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, 2010, the closing price of Benihana’s Common Stock was $6.41 per share. The market value of the Convertible Preferred Stock if converted at June 30, 2010 would have been approximately $10.1 million.
     At June 30, 2010, the Company’s estimated fair value of its investment in Benihana’s Convertible Preferred Stock was approximately $20.2 million, which includes a gross unrealized gain of approximately $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The estimated fair value of the Company’s investment in Benihana’s 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 of Benihana’s Common Stock that BFC would receive upon conversion of its shares of Benihana’s Convertible Preferred Stock.
8. Derivatives
     During the three months ended June 30, 2010, BankAtlantic expanded its cruise ship automated teller machine (“ATM”) operations and began dispensing foreign currency from certain ATMs on cruise ships. At June 30, 2010, BankAtlantic had $6.5 million of foreign currency in cruise ship ATMs and recognized a $0.7 million foreign currency unrealized exchange loss which is included in Financial Services — other non-interest income in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations. BankAtlantic purchased foreign currency put options as an economic hedge for the foreign currency in its cruise ship ATMs. The terms of the put options and the fair value as of June 30, 2010 were as follows (in thousands, except strike price):

     Loans held for sale at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 are loans originated with the assistance of an independent mortgage company. The mortgage company provides processing and closing assistance to BankAtlantic. Pursuant to an agreement between the parties, the mortgage company purchases the loans from BankAtlantic within a defined period of time after the date of funding. BankAtlantic earns the interest income during the period that BankAtlantic owns the loan. Gains from the sale of loans held for sale were $87,000 and $141,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, and were $151,000 and $263,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively.
     BankAtlantic Bancorp sold a land acquisition and development loan during the three months ended June 30, 2010, for net proceeds of $450,000 resulting in net charge-offs of $453,000. During the six months ended June 30, 2010 BankAtlantic Bancorp sold builder land bank loans and land acquisition and development loans for net proceeds of $26.9 million resulting in charge-offs of $20.1 million. Since BankAtlantic Bancorp had previously established $17.7 million of specific valuation allowances on these loans as of December 31, 2009, BankAtlantic Bancorp incurred a $2.4 million additional writedown in connection with the sales.

     Impaired loans without specific valuation allowances represent loans that were written-down to the fair value of the collateral less cost to sell, loans in which the collateral value less cost to sell was greater than the carrying value of the loan, loans in which the present value of the cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate was equal to or greater than the carrying value of the loan, or large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans that are collectively measured for impairment.
     BankAtlantic Bancorp continuously monitors collateral dependent loans and performs an impairment analysis on these loans quarterly. Generally, a full appraisal is obtained when a real estate loan is evaluated for impairment and an updated full appraisal is obtained within one year from the prior appraisal date, or earlier if management deems it appropriate based on significant changes in market conditions. In instances where a property is in the process of foreclosure, an updated appraisal may be postponed beyond one year, as an appraisal is required on the date of foreclosure; however, such loans are subject to quarterly impairment analyses. Included in total impaired loans as of June 30, 2010 was $396.8 million of collateral dependent loans, of which $197.7 million were measured for impairment using current appraisals and $199.1 million were measured by adjusting appraisals that were less than one year old, as appropriate, to reflect changes in market conditions subsequent to the last appraisal date. Appraised values were adjusted down by an aggregate amount of $37.2 million to reflect current market conditions on 30 loans due to property value declines since the last appraisal dates.
     As of June 30, 2010, impaired loans with specific valuation allowances had been previously written down by $88.3 million and impaired loans without specific valuation allowances had been previously written down by $58.6 million. BankAtlantic had commitments to lend $5.3 million of additional funds on impaired loans as of June 30, 2010.

     The accretable portion of the discount on the purchase price related to notes receivable acquired in connection with the Bluegreen share purchase on November 16, 2009 is being accreted using the effective interest method and recognized as interest income over the life of the loans. As a result, the Company recognized $3.3 million and $5.8 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 relating to the accretion of such discount.

     All of Bluegreen’s vacation ownership interests (“VOIs”) notes receivable, which comprise the majority of the notes receivable, bear interest at fixed rates. The weighted-average interest rate charged on loans secured by VOIs was 15.2% and 14.9% at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. Approximately 85% of Bluegreen’s notes receivable secured by home sites bear interest at variable rates, while the balance bears interest at fixed rates. The weighted-average interest rate charged on notes receivable secured by home sites was 7.9% and 8.8% at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.
     Bluegreen’s VOI notes receivable are generally secured by property located in Florida, Louisiana, Nevada, New Jersey, Michigan, Missouri, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Wisconsin, and Aruba. The majority of Bluegreen Communities notes receivables are secured by home sites in Georgia, Texas, and Virginia.
11. Variable Interest Entities — Bluegreen
     In accordance with the guidance for the consolidation of variable interest entities, Bluegreen analyzes its variable interests, including loans, guarantees, and equity investments, to determine if an entity in which it has a variable interest is a variable interest entity. Bluegreen’s analysis includes both quantitative and qualitative reviews. Bluegreen bases its quantitative analysis on the forecasted cash flows of the entity, and it bases its qualitative analysis on its review of the design of the entity, its organizational structure including decision-making ability, and relevant financial agreements. Bluegreen also uses qualitative analyses to determine if it must consolidate a variable interest entity as the primary beneficiary.
     Bluegreen sells, without recourse, through special purpose finance entities, VOI notes receivable originated by Bluegreen Resorts. These transactions are designed to provide liquidity for Bluegreen and transfer the economic risks and certain of the benefits of the notes receivable to third parties. In a securitization, various classes of debt securities are issued by the special purpose finance entities that are generally collateralized by a single tranche of transferred assets, which consist of VOI notes receivable. Bluegreen services the notes receivable for a fee. With each securitization, Bluegreen generally retains a portion of the securities.

     Pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles that were in effect prior to 2010, seven of Bluegreen’s eight special purpose finance entities met the definition of a qualified special purpose entity, and Bluegreen was not required to consolidate those seven entities in its financial statements. Upon the adoption of the new accounting guidance related to transfers of financial assets (see Note 2 for additional information), Bluegreen was required to evaluate these entities for consolidation. Since Bluegreen created these entities to serve as a financing vehicle for holding assets and related liabilities, and the entities have no equity investment at risk, they are considered variable interest entities. Furthermore, since Bluegreen continues to service the notes and retain rights to receive benefits that are potentially significant to the entities, Bluegreen concluded that it is the entities’ primary beneficiary and, therefore, now consolidates these entities into its financial statements. Please see Note 2 for the impact of initial consolidation of these entities.
     At June 30, 2010, the principal balance of VOI notes receivable included within the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition that are restricted to satisfy obligations of the variable interest entities’ obligations totaled $567.8 million. In addition, approximately $33.0 million of Bluegreen’s restricted cash is held in accounts for the benefit of the variable interest entities. Further, at June 30, 2010, the carrying amount of the consolidated liabilities included within the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition for these variable interest entities totaled $485.9 million, comprised of non-recourse receivable-backed notes payable. The debt of these entities is generally non-recourse to Bluegreen. See Note 15, Receivable-Backed Notes Payable, below.
     Under the terms of Bluegreen’s timeshare note sales, Bluegreen has the right at its option to repurchase or substitute for defaulted mortgage notes at the outstanding principal balance plus accrued interest or, in some facilities, at 24% of the original sale price associated with the defaulted mortgage note. The transaction documents typically limit such repurchases or substitutions to 15-20% of the receivables originally funded into the transaction. Voluntary repurchases or substitutions by Bluegreen of defaulted notes during the six months ended June 30, 2010 were $24.3 million.
12. Real Estate Inventory

     Inventory consisted of the combined real estate assets of Bluegreen Resorts, Bluegreen Communities, Core Communities, Carolina Oak, and BankAtlantic Bancorp’s land facilities held for sale.
     As a result of Bluegreen’s continued low sales volume, reduced prices, and the impact of reduced sales on the forecasted sell-out period of its communities projects, the Company recorded non-cash charges to cost of real estate sales of approximately $3.3 million, net of purchase accounting adjustments, during the six months ended June 30, 2010, to write-down the inventory balances of certain phases of Bluegreen’s completed communities properties, to their estimated fair value less costs to sell.
13. Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates
     As previously discussed, approximately 7.4 million additional shares of Bluegreen’s common stock were purchased on November 16, 2009, increasing our ownership in Bluegreen to 16.9 million shares, or 52%, of Bluegreen’s outstanding common stock. As a result of the purchase, the Company has a controlling interest in Bluegreen and, accordingly, has consolidated Bluegreen’s results since November 16, 2009 into the Company’s financial statements.

     Prior to November 16, 2009, the investment in Bluegreen was accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The cost of the Bluegreen investment was adjusted to recognize the Company’s interest in Bluegreen’s earnings or losses. The difference between a) the Company’s ownership percentage in Bluegreen multiplied by its earnings and b) the amount of the Company’s equity in earnings of Bluegreen as reflected in the Company’s financial statements related to the amortization or accretion of purchase accounting made at the time of the initial acquisition of Bluegreen’s common stock and a basis difference due to impairment charges recorded on the investment in Bluegreen, as described below. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company recorded a $20.4 million impairment charge relating to our investment in Bluegreen. No impairment charges were recorded during the quarter ended June 30, 2009.
     The following table shows the reconciliation of the Company’s pro rata share of Bluegreen’s net income to the Company’s share of total earnings from Bluegreen for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, prior to our consolidation of Bluegreen in November 2009 (in thousands):

Total earnings from Bluegreen Corporation
  $ 10,714       17,050  
     
 
(a)   As a result of the impairment charges previously taken under the equity method prior to our consolidation of Bluegreen in November 2009, a basis difference was created between the investment in Bluegreen and the underlying assets and liabilities carried on the books of Bluegreen. Therefore, earnings from Bluegreen were adjusted each period to reflect the amortization of this basis difference. As such, a methodology was established to allocate the impairment loss to the relative estimates of the fair value of Bluegreen’s underlying assets based upon the position that the impairment loss was a reflection of the perceived value of these underlying assets. The appropriate amortization was calculated based on the estimated useful lives of the underlying assets and other relevant data associated with each asset category.
14. Goodwill
     The Company tests goodwill 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 BankAtlantic Bancorp’s business units, BankAtlantic reduced its asset balances with a view toward strengthening its regulatory capital ratios and revised its projected operating results to reflect a smaller organization. Based on the results of an interim goodwill impairment evaluation undertaken during the first quarter of 2009, an impairment charge of $8.5 million, net of purchase accounting from the step acquisition of approximately $0.6 million, was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2009. Management did not perform a goodwill impairment test as of June 30, 2009 as there were no significant changes in impairment indicators during the period. No such impairments were recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2010.
15. Notes and Mortgage Notes Payable and Other Borrowings
Woodbridge
     The development activities at Carolina Oak, which is within Tradition Hilton Head, were suspended in the fourth quarter of 2008 as a result of, among other things, an overall softening of demand for new homes and a decline in the overall economy. In 2009, the housing industry continued to face significant challenges and Woodbridge made the decision to cease all activities at Carolina Oak. In the fourth quarter of 2009, we reviewed the inventory of real estate at Carolina Oak for impairment and as a result, recorded a $16.7 million impairment charge to adjust the carrying amount of Carolina Oak’s inventory to its fair value of $10.8 million. Woodbridge is the obligor under a $37.2 million loan that is collateralized by the Carolina Oak property. During 2009, the lender declared the loan to be in default and filed an action for foreclosure and while there may have been an issue with respect to compliance with certain covenants in the loan agreements, we do not believe that an event of default had occurred as was alleged. Woodbridge continues to seek a satisfactory conclusion with regard to the debt; however, the outcome of these efforts and the litigation is uncertain.

Core
     Core is currently in default under the terms of all of its outstanding debt totaling approximately $139.2 million. Core continues to pursue all options with its lenders, including offering deeds in lieu and other similar transactions wherein Core would relinquish title to substantially all of its assets. During February 2010, with Core’s concurrence, a significant portion of the land in Tradition Hilton Head was placed under the control of a court appointed receiver. In connection with the receivership, Core entered into a separate agreement with the lender that, among other things, grants Core a right of first refusal to purchase the $25.3 million loan in the event that the lender decides to sell the loan to a third party. This loan is collateralized by inventory that had a net carrying value of $33 million, net of impairment charges during 2009 of approximately $29.6 million. Separately, on April 7, 2010 and April 8, 2010, another of Core’s lenders filed a foreclosure action in South Carolina and Florida, respectively, seeking foreclosure of mortgage loans totaling approximately $113.8 million, plus additional interest and costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees. Core is currently in negotiations with the lender regarding, among other things, accelerating the foreclosure actions, granting the lender a perfected first lien and security interest in certain additional Core subsidiaries, and releasing and indemnifying Core from any future obligations. As of June 30, 2010, the net carrying value of Core’s inventory collateralizing the defaulted loans that are the subject of foreclosure proceedings was $82 million, net of impairment charges during 2009 of approximately $33.7 million. There was no impairment charge during the six months ended June 30, 2010. While negotiations with its lenders continue, there is no assurance that Core will be successful in reaching any agreement with its lenders with respect to resolution of its obligations.
Bluegreen
     Bluegreen’s pledged assets under its facilities and notes payable as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 had a carrying amount of approximately $388.5 million and $336.6 million, respectively.
     The GMAC AD&C Facility. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, Bluegreen repaid $15.9 million of the outstanding balance under this facility.
     H4BG Communities Facility. During April 2010, GMAC assigned all rights, title, and interest in the GMAC Communities Facility to H4BG, LP. This assignment did not affect any of the material financial terms of the loan agreement. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, Bluegreen repaid $3.2 million on this facility.
     The Wachovia Notes Payable. On April 30, 2010, Bluegreen executed an agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., the parent company of Wachovia (“Wells Fargo”), to refinance the remaining $21.9 million outstanding under the Wachovia Notes Payable into a new term loan. See Wells Fargo Term Loan below for further details.
     The Wachovia Line-of-Credit. On April 30, 2010, the remaining $14.5 million outstanding was refinanced by Wells Fargo. See Wells Fargo Term Loan below for further details.
     The Wells Fargo Term Loan. On April 30, 2010, Bluegreen entered into a definitive agreement with Wells Fargo, which amended, restated and consolidated Bluegreen’s notes payable to Wachovia and the line-of-credit issued by Wachovia into a single term loan with Wells Fargo (the “Wells Fargo Term Loan”). The notes payable and line of credit which were consolidated into the Wells Fargo Term Loan had a total outstanding balance of $36.4 million as of April 30, 2010. In connection with the closing of the Wells Fargo Term Loan, Bluegreen made a principal payment of $0.4 million, reducing the balance to $36.0 million, and paid accrued interest on the existing Wachovia debt. The interest rate on the Wells Fargo Term Loan at June 30, 2010 was 7.22%. Principal payments are effected through agreed-upon release prices as real estate collateralizing the Wells Fargo Term Loan is sold, subject to minimum remaining required amortization of $4.4 million in 2010, $10.6 million in 2011 and $20.2 million in 2012. In addition to the resort projects previously pledged as collateral for the various notes payable to Wachovia, Bluegreen pledged additional timeshare interests, resorts real estate, and the residual interests in certain of Bluegreen’s sold VOI notes receivables as collateral for the Wells Fargo Term Loan. Wells Fargo has the right to receive as additional collateral, the residual interest in one future transaction which creates such a retained interest. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, Bluegreen repaid $1.2 million on this facility.

Receivable-Backed Notes Payable
     Bluegreen’s pledged receivables under its receivable-backed notes payable as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 had a principal balance before purchase accounting adjustments of approximately $695.7 million and $292.9 million, respectively.
     Liberty Bank Facility. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, Bluegreen pledged $22.9 million of VOI notes receivable to this facility and received cash proceeds of $20.6 million. Bluegreen also made repayments of $8.9 million on the facility during the six months ended June 30, 2010. In July 2010, Bluegreen transferred $4.7 million of VOI notes receivable to Liberty and received cash proceeds of $4.2 million.
     GE Bluegreen/Big Cedar Receivables Facility. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, Bluegreen repaid $4.6 million on this facility.
     The Wells Fargo Facility. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, Bluegreen repaid $7.1 million on this facility.
     BB&T Purchase Facility. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, Bluegreen made repayments of $17.5 million on the facility and did not pledge any additional VOI notes receivable to this facility. On June 29, 2010, BB&T extended the revolving advance period of the facility to August 30, 2010, with any further extension being subject to BB&T approval. No other significant changes were made to the terms of the facility in connection with this extension.
     As discussed further in Notes 2 and 11 above, on January 1, 2010, Bluegreen consolidated seven of its special purpose finance entities and associated receivable-backed notes payable. These entities and their associated debt were not required to be consolidated during periods prior to January 1, 2010. Historically, Bluegreen has been a party to a number of securitization-type transactions, in which it sold receivables to one of its special purpose finance entities which, in turn, sold the receivables either directly to third parties or to a trust established for the transaction. The receivables were sold on a non-recourse basis (except for breaches of certain representations and warranties). Under these arrangements, the cash payments received from obligors on the receivables sold are generally applied monthly to pay fees to service providers, make interest and principal payments to investors, and fund required reserves, if any, with the remaining balance of such cash retained by Bluegreen; however, to the extent the portfolio of receivables fails to satisfy specified performance criteria (as may occur due to an increase in default rates or loan loss severity) or other trigger events, the funds received from obligors are distributed on an accelerated basis to investors. Depending on the circumstances and the transaction, the application of the accelerated payment formula may be permanent or temporary until the trigger event is cured. As of June 30, 2010, Bluegreen was in compliance with all applicable terms and no trigger events had occurred.

Junior Subordinated Debentures
     As more fully described in Note 23 “Junior Subordinated Debentures” to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, some of the Company’s subsidiaries have formed statutory business trusts (collectively, the “Trusts”), each of which issued trust preferred securities and invested the proceeds thereof in its junior subordinated debentures. The Trusts are variable interest entities in which the Company’s subsidiaries are not the primary beneficiaries as defined by the accounting guidance for consolidation. Accordingly, the Company does not consolidate the operations of the Trusts; instead, the Trusts are accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
     On March 30, 2010, the interest rate on the securities issued by Levitt Capital Trust (“LCT”) I contractually changed from a fixed-rate of 8.11% to a variable rate equal to the 3-month LIBOR + 3.85% (4.38% as of June 30, 2010).
     On July 30, 2010, the interest rate on the securities issued by the LCT II contractually changed from a fixed-rate of 8.09% to a variable rate equal to the 3-month LIBOR + 3.80%.
     On March 30, 2010, the interest rate on the securities issued by Bluegreen Statutory Trust (“BST”) I contractually changed from a fixed-rate of 9.160% to a variable rate equal to the 3-month LIBOR + 4.90% (5.43% as of June 30, 2010).
     On July 30, 2010, the interest rate on the securities issued by BST II and BST III contractually changed from a fixed-rate of 9.158% and 9.193%, respectively, to a variable rate equal to the 3-month LIBOR + 4.85%.
16. Development Bonds Payable
     In connection with the development of certain of Core’s projects, community development, special assessment or improvement districts were established that may have utilized 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.
     Core’s bond financing at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 consisted of district bonds totaling $218.7 million at each of these dates with outstanding amounts of approximately $173. 8 million and $170.8 million, respectively. Bond obligations at June 30, 2010 mature in 2035 and 2040. As of June 30, 2010, Core owned approximately 4% 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, 2010 and 2009, Core recorded a liability of approximately $66,000 and $158,000, respectively, in assessments on property owned by it in the districts. During the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, Core recorded a liability of approximately $225,000 and $317,000, 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 through the maturity dates of the respective bonds issued if the property is never sold. Based on Core’s approximate 91% ownership interest in property within the special assessment district as of June 30, 2010, it will be responsible for the payment of approximately $10 million in assessments by March 2011. If Core sells land within the special assessment district and reduces its ownership percentage, the potential payment of approximately $10 million would decrease in relation to the decrease in the ownership percentage. 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 accounting guidance 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 pursuant to the guarantees.

19. Segment Reporting
     Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in assessing performance and deciding how to allocate resources. Reportable segments consist of one or more operating segments with similar economic characteristics, products and services, production processes, type of customer, distribution system or regulatory environment.
     The information provided for segment reporting is based on internal reports utilized by management of the Company and its respective subsidiaries. The presentation and allocation of assets and results of operations may not reflect the actual economic costs of the segments as stand alone businesses. If a different basis of allocation were utilized, the relative contributions of the segments might differ but the relative trends in segments’ operating results would, in management’s view, likely not be impacted.
     As a result of the Woodbridge merger on September 21, 2009 and the Bluegreen share acquisition on November 16, 2009, the Company reorganized its reportable segments to better align its segment reporting with the current operations of its businesses. The Company’s business activities currently consist of (i) Real Estate and Other activities and (ii) Financial Services activities. These business activities are reported through six segments: BFC Activities, Real Estate Operations, Bluegreen Resorts, Bluegreen Communities, BankAtlantic and BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company. As a result of this reorganization, our BFC Activities segment now includes, in addition to other activities historically included in this segment, Woodbridge Other Operations (which was previously a separate segment). Our Real Estate Operations segment is now comprised of what was previously identified as our Land Division, including the real estate business activities of Core Communities and Carolina Oak.
     BFC’s consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of Bluegreen since November 16, 2009 when we acquired a controlling interest in Bluegreen, and Bluegreen’s results of operations are reported through the Bluegreen Resorts and Bluegreen Communities segments. Prior to November 16, 2009, we owned approximately 9.5 million shares of Bluegreen’s common stock, representing approximately 29% of such stock, the investment in Bluegreen was accounted for under the equity method of accounting, and our interest in Bluegreen’s earnings and losses was included in our BFC Activities segment. The Company’s Financial Services business activities include BankAtlantic Bancorp’s results of operations and are reported in two segments: BankAtlantic and BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company.
     The accounting policies of the segments are generally the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. Intersegment transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The Company evaluates segment performance based on its segment net income (loss).
     The following summarizes the aggregation of the Company’s operating segments into reportable segments:
BFC Activities
     The BFC Activities segment consists of BFC operations, our investment in Benihana, and other operations of Woodbridge described below. BFC operations primarily consist of our corporate overhead and general and administrative expenses, including the expenses of Woodbridge, the financial results of a venture partnership that BFC controls and other equity investments, as well as income and expenses associated with BFC’s shared service operations which provides services in the areas of human resources, risk management, investor relations, executive office administration and other services to BankAtlantic Bancorp and Bluegreen. This segment also includes investments made by BFC/CCC, Inc., our wholly owned subsidiary (“BFC/CCC”). Other operations includes the consolidated operations of Pizza Fusion Holdings, Inc. (“Pizza Fusion”), a restaurant franchisor operating within the quick service and organic food industries, the activities of Cypress Creek Capital Holdings, LLC (“Cypress Creek Capital”) and Snapper Creek Equity Management, LLC (“Snapper Creek”) and other investments. In addition, prior to obtaining a controlling interest in Bluegreen on November 16, 2009, we accounted for our investment in Bluegreen under the equity method of accounting and our interest in Bluegreen’s earnings or loss was included in the BFC Activities segment.

Real Estate Operations
     The Company’s Real Estate Operations segment consists of the operations of Core Communities, Carolina Oak, which was engaged in homebuilding activities in South Carolina prior to the suspension of those activities in the fourth quarter of 2008, and Cypress Creek Holdings which engages in leasing activities.
Bluegreen Resorts
     Bluegreen Resorts develops, markets and sells VOIs in its resorts through the Bluegreen Vacation Club, and provides fee-based management services to resort property owners associations. Bluegreen Resorts also earns fees from third parties for providing sales, marketing, construction management, title and fee-based management services to third-party resort developers and owners.
Bluegreen Communities
     Bluegreen Communities acquires large tracts of real estate, which are subdivided, improved (in some cases to include a golf course on the property and other related amenities) and sold, typically on a retail basis as homesites.
BankAtlantic
     The Company’s BankAtlantic segment consists of the banking operations of BankAtlantic.
BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company
     The BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company segment consists of the operations of BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company, including the cost of acquisitions, asset and capital management and financing activities and the results of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s asset work out subsidiary.

20. Commitments, Contingencies and Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk
BFC
     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. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the carrying amount of this investment was approximately $673,000 and $690,000, respectively, which is included in investments in unconsolidated affiliates in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. 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 BFC’s obligations under the guarantee to acts of BFC and its affiliates.
     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. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the carrying amount of this investment was approximately $310,000 and $319,000, respectively, which is included in investments in unconsolidated affiliates in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. 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 proceeding under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or similar state insolvency laws or in the event of any transfer of interests not in accordance with the loan documents. BFC and the unaffiliated members also entered into a cross indemnification agreement which limits BFC’s obligations under the guarantee to acts of BFC and its affiliates.
     No amounts are recorded in the Company’s financial statements for the obligations associated with the above guarantees based on the potential indemnification by unaffiliated members and the limit of the specific obligations to non-financial matters.
     Based on the current accounting guidance associated with the consolidation of variable interest entities implemented on January 1, 2010, we are not classified as primary beneficiaries in connection with the above mentioned BFC/CCC investments and do not consolidate these entities into our financial statements. We do not have the power to direct the activities that can significantly impact the performance of these entities.
Core
     At each of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, Core had outstanding surety bonds of approximately $860,000, which were related primarily to its obligations to various governmental entities to construct improvements in its various communities. It is estimated that approximately $495,000 of work remains to complete these improvements and it is not currently anticipated that any outstanding surety bonds will be drawn upon.
Woodbridge
     Levitt and Sons, Woodbridge’s former wholly-owned homebuilding subsidiary, had approximately $33.3 million of surety bonds related to its ongoing projects at November 9, 2007, the date on which Levitt and Sons and substantially all of its subsidiaries filed voluntary bankruptcy petitions (the “Chapter 11 Cases”). In the event that these obligations are drawn and paid by the surety, Woodbridge could be responsible for up to $7.6 million plus costs and expenses in accordance with the surety indemnity agreements executed by Woodbridge. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, Woodbridge had $490,000 and $527,000, respectively, in surety bond accruals 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 reimbursed the surety approximately $37,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2009, in accordance with the indemnity agreement for bond claims paid during the period, while no reimbursements were made in the six months ended June 30, 2010. In addition, no reimbursements were made in the three months ended June 30, 2010 or 2009. 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 its $490,000 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 the surety bonds exposure in connection with demands made by a municipality. Woodbridge believes that the municipality does not have the right to demand payment under the bonds and Woodbridge initiated a lawsuit against the municipality. However, based on claims made on the bonds, the surety requested that Woodbridge post a $4.0 million escrow deposit as security while the matter was being litigated with the municipality, and Woodbridge has complied with that request. In August 2010, Woodbridge was granted a motion for summary judgment terminating any obligations under the bonds. It is anticipated that the municipality will seek rehearing and, if it is denied, will prosecute an appeal of the court’s decision.

     On February 20, 2009, the Bankruptcy Court presiding over the Chapter 11 Cases 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 with the Joint Committee of Unsecured Creditors. No appeal or rehearing of the Bankruptcy Court’s order was 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. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, we agreed to share a percentage of any tax refund attributable to periods prior to the bankruptcy with the Debtors Estate. In the fourth quarter of 2009, we accrued approximately $10.7 million in connection with the portion of the tax refund which may be payable to the Debtors Estate pursuant to the settlement agreement. As a result, the gain on settlement of investment in subsidiary for the year ended December 31, 2009 was reduced to $29.7 million. Additionally, in the second quarter of 2010, we increased the $10.7 million accrual by approximately $1.1 million, representing a portion of an additional tax refund which we expect to receive due to a recent change in Internal Revenue Service guidance that will likely be required to be paid to the Debtors Estate pursuant to the Settlement Agreement. As of June 30, 2010, we had accrued a liability of approximately $11.8 million which represents a portion of tax refunds to be shared with the Debtors Estate pursuant to the settlement agreement.
     As previously disclosed, under Florida law, holders of Woodbridge’s Class A Common Stock who did not vote to approve the merger between Woodbridge and BFC and properly asserted and exercised their appraisal rights with respect to their shares (“Dissenting Holders”) are entitled to receive a cash payment in an amount equal to the fair value of their shares as determined in accordance with the provisions of Florida law in lieu of the shares of BFC’s Class A Common Stock that they would otherwise have been entitled to receive. Dissenting Holders, who collectively held approximately 4.2 million shares of Woodbridge’s Class A Common Stock, have rejected Woodbridge’s offer of $1.10 per share and requested payment for their shares based on their respective fair value estimates of Woodbridge’s Class A Common Stock. Woodbridge is currently a party to legal proceedings relating to the Dissenting Holders appraisal process. In December 2009, a $4.6 million liability was recorded with a corresponding reduction to additional paid-in capital, which is reflected in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition representing in the aggregate Woodbridge’s offer to the Dissenting Holders. However, the appraisal rights litigation is currently ongoing and its outcome is uncertain. There is no assurance as to the amount of cash that we will be required to pay to the Dissenting Holders, and such amount may be greater than the $4.6 million that we have accrued.
Bluegreen
Tennessee Tax Audit
     In 2005, the State of Tennessee Audit Division (the “Division”) audited certain subsidiaries within Bluegreen Resorts for the period from December 1, 2001 through December 31, 2004. On September 23, 2006, the Division issued a notice of assessment for approximately $652,000 of accommodations tax based on the use of Bluegreen Vacation Club accommodations by Bluegreen Vacation Club members who became members through the purchase of non-Tennessee property. Bluegreen believes the attempt to impose such a tax is contrary to Tennessee law and has vigorously opposed, and intends to continue to vigorously oppose, such assessment by the Division. An informal conference was held in December 2007 to discuss this matter with representatives of the Division. No formal resolution of the issue was reached during the conference and no further action has to date been initiated by the State of Tennessee. While the timeshare industry has been successful in challenging the imposition of sales taxes on the use of accommodations by timeshare owners, there is no assurance that Bluegreen will be successful in contesting the current assessment.

Pennsylvania Attorney General Lawsuit
     On October 28, 2008, in Cause No. 479 M.D. 2008, styled Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Acting by Attorney General Thomas W. Corbett, Jr. v. Bluegreen Corporation, Bluegreen Resorts, Bluegreen Vacations Unlimited, Inc. and Great Vacation Destinations, Inc., in the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania acting through its Attorney General filed a lawsuit against Bluegreen Corporation, Bluegreen Resorts, Bluegreen Vacations Unlimited, Inc. and Great Vacation Destinations, Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of Bluegreen Corporation) alleging violations of Pennsylvania’s Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Laws. The lawsuit alleged that Bluegreen used sales and marketing methods or practices that were unlawful under Pennsylvania law and sought a permanent injunction preventing Bluegreen from using such methods and practices in the future. The lawsuit also sought civil penalties and restitution on behalf of Pennsylvania consumers. The lawsuit did not seek to permanently restrain Bluegreen or any of its affiliates from doing business in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The parties reached a settlement on this matter and a consent was signed which received Court approval on May 26, 2010. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement, Bluegreen paid $200,000 to the Attorney General’s Office and agreed to a 30-day tail period within which additional consumers meeting certain eligibility requirements can apply for relief. That period has now ended with no material changes in the amounts payable by Bluegreen.
Destin, Florida Deposit Dispute Lawsuit
     In Cause No. 2006-Ca-3374, styled Joseph M. Scheyd, Jr., P.A. vs. Bluegreen Vacations Unlimited, Inc.,; Hubert A. Laird; and MSB of Destin, Inc., in the Circuit Court of the First Judicial Circuit in and for Okaloosa County, Florida, the Plaintiff as escrow agent brought an interpleader action seeking a determination as to whether Bluegreen, as purchaser, or Hubert A. Laird and MSB of Destin, Inc. as seller, were entitled to the $1.4 million escrow deposit being maintained with the escrow agent pursuant to a purchase and sale contract for real property located in Destin, Florida. Both Bluegreen and the seller have brought cross-claims for breach of the underlying purchase and sale contract. The seller alleges Bluegreen failed to perform under the terms of the purchase and sale contract and claims entitlement to the amount in escrow. Bluegreen maintains that its decision not to close on the purchase of the property was proper under the terms of the purchase and sale contract and therefore Bluegreen is entitled to a return of the full escrow deposit. The seller amended its complaint to include a fraud count. Bluegreen believes the fraud allegations are without merit and intends to vigorously defend this claim.
Mountain Lakes Mineral Rights
     Bluegreen Southwest One, L.P., (“Southwest”), a subsidiary of Bluegreen Corporation, is the developer of the Mountain Lakes subdivision in Texas. In Cause No. 28006, styled Betty Yvon Lesley et a1 v. Bluff Dale Development Corporation, Bluegreen Southwest One. L.P. et al., in the 266th Judicial District Court, Erath County, Texas, the plaintiffs filed a declaratory judgment action against Southwest seeking to develop their reserved mineral interests in, on and under the Mountain Lakes subdivision. The plaintiffs’ claims are based on property law, oil and gas law, contract and tort theories. The property owners association and some of the individual landowners have filed cross actions against Bluegreen, Southwest and individual directors of the property owners association related to the mineral rights and certain amenities in the subdivision as described below. On January 17, 2007, the court ruled that the restrictions placed on the development that prohibited oil and gas production and development were invalid and not enforceable as a matter of law, that such restrictions did not prohibit the development of the plaintiffs’ prior reserved mineral interests and that Southwest breached its duty to lease the minerals to third parties for development. The court further ruled that Southwest was the sole holder of the right to lease the minerals to third parties. The order granting the plaintiffs’ motion was severed into a new cause styled Cause No. 28769 Betty Yvon Lesley et a1 v. Bluff Dale Development Corporation, Bluegreen Southwest One. L.P. et al. in the 266th Judicial District Court, Erath County, Texas. Southwest appealed the trial court’s ruling. On January 22, 2009, in Bluegreen Southwest One, L.P. et al. v. Betty Yvon Lesley et al., in the 11th Court of Appeals, Eastland, Texas, the Appellate Court reversed the trial court’s decision and ruled in Southwest’s favor and determined that all executive rights were owned by Southwest and then transferred to the individual property owners in connection with the sales of land. All property owner claims were decided in favor of Southwest. It was also decided that Southwest did not breach a fiduciary duty to the plaintiffs as an executive rights holder. As a result of this decision, no damages or attorneys’ fees are owed to the plaintiffs. On May 14, 2009, the plaintiffs filed an appeal with the Texas Supreme Court asking the Court to reverse the Appellate Court’s decision in favor of Bluegreen. The Court has agreed to hear oral arguments from the parties on whether the Court should accept the plaintiffs’ appeal. No information is available as to when the Texas Supreme Court will render a decision as to whether or not it will take the appeal.

     Separately, one of the amenity lakes in the Mountain Lakes development did not reach the expected water level after construction was completed. Owners of homesites within the Mountain Lakes subdivision and the property owners Association of Mountain Lakes have asserted cross claims against Southwest and Bluegreen regarding such failure as part of the Lesley litigation described above as well as in Cause No. 067-223662-07, Property Owners Association of Mountain Lakes Ranch, Inc. v. Bluegreen Southwest One, L.P. et al., in the 67th Judicial District Court of Tarrant County, Texas. This case has been settled and the entire $3.4 million settlement was paid in March of 2010. Additional claims may be pursued in the future by certain individual lot owners within the Mountain Lakes subdivision in connection with these matters, but it is not possible at this time to estimate the likelihood of loss or amount of potential exposure with respect to any such matters, including the likelihood that any such loss may exceed the amount accrued.
Catawba Falls Preserve Homeowner’s Association Demand Letter
     By letter dated October 2, 2008, the Catawba Falls Preserve Homeowners Association demanded payment for (i) construction of pedestrian pathways and certain equestrian stables allegedly promised by Bluegreen but never constructed, (ii) repairs to roads and culverts within the community, and (iii) landscaping improvements to the community’s gated entrance. The parties reached settlement with Bluegreen agreeing to pay the Association a nominal sum and convey to the Association title to two lots located within the Catawba Falls Preserve subdivision.
Marshall, et al. Lawsuit regarding Community Amenities
     On September 14, 2009, in Cause No. 09-09-08763-CV, styled William Marshall and Patricia Marshall, et al. v Bluegreen Southwest One, L.P., Bluegreen Southwest Land, Inc., Bluegreen Corporation, Stephen Davis, and Bluegreen Communities of Texas, L.P., Plaintiffs filed this action alleging fraud, negligent misrepresentation, breach of contract, and negligence with regards to the Ridgelake Shores subdivision, developed in Montgomery County, Texas, specifically, the usability of the lakes within the community for fishing and sporting and the general level of quality at the community. The lawsuit seeks material damages and the payment of costs to remediate the lake. Bluegreen intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit.
Schawrz, et al. Lawsuit regarding Community Amenities
     On September 18, 2008, in Cause No. 2008-5U-CV-1358-WI, styled Paul A. Schwarz and Barbara S. Schwarz v. Bluegreen Communities of Georgia, LLC and Bluegreen Corporation, Plaintiffs brought suit alleging fraud and misrepresentation with regards to the construction of a marina at the Sanctuary Cove subdivision located in Camden County, Georgia. Plaintiff subsequently withdrew the fraud and misrepresentation counts and filed a count alleging violation of racketeering laws, including mail fraud and wire fraud. On January 25, 2010, Plaintiffs filed a second complaint seeking approval to proceed with the lawsuit as a class action on behalf of more than 100 persons claimed to have been harmed by the alleged activities in a similar manner. Bluegreen has filed a response with the Court in opposition to class certification. No decision has yet been made by the Court as to whether they will certify a class. Bluegreen denies the allegations and intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit.
BankAtlantic Bancorp
     Financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk were (in thousands):
                 
    June 30,     December 31,  
    2010     2009  
Commitments to sell fixed rate residential loans
  $ 19,663       23,255  
Commitments to originate loans held for sale
    13,801       18,708  
Commitments to originate loans held to maturity

Standby letters of credit
    14,665       13,573  
Commercial lines of credit
    87,960       74,841  
     Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by BankAtlantic to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. BankAtlantic’s standby letters of credit are generally issued to customers in the construction industry guaranteeing project performance. These types of standby letters of credit had a maximum exposure of $12.8 million at June 30, 2010. 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 $1.8 million at June 30, 2010. 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, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were in each period $5,000, of unearned guarantee fees. There were no obligations associated with these guarantees recorded in the financial statements.
     Management of BankAtlantic Bancorp, based on discussions with legal counsel, has recognized legal reserves of $1.0 million and believes its results of operations or financial condition will not be materially impacted by the resolution of these matters. However, there is no assurance that BankAtlantic Bancorp will not incur losses in excess of reserved amounts or in amounts that will be material to its results of operations or financial condition.

Concentration of Credit Risk
     BankAtlantic has a high concentration of its consumer home equity and commercial loans in the State of Florida. Real estate values and general economic conditions have significantly deteriorated since the origination dates of these loans. If market conditions in Florida do not improve or deteriorate further, BankAtlantic may be exposed to significant credit losses in these loan portfolios.
     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 the decline in real estate values in residential housing markets. Also included in this purchased residential loan portfolio are interest-only loans. The structure of these loans results in possible increases in a borrower’s loan payments when the contractually required repayments change due to interest rate movement and the required amortization of the principal amount. These payment increases could affect a borrower’s ability to meet the debt service on or repay the loan and lead to increased defaults and losses. At June 30, 2010, BankAtlantic’s residential loan portfolio included $640.0 million of interest-only loans, which represents 48.8% of the residential loan portfolio, with 26.1% of the aggregate principal amount of these interest-only loans secured by collateral located in California. Interest only residential loans scheduled to become fully amortizing during the six months ended December 31, 2010 and during the year ended December 31, 2011 are $1.6 million and $58.4 million, respectively.
21. Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions
     BFC is the controlling shareholder of BankAtlantic Bancorp and Bluegreen. Woodbridge Holdings Corporation (formerly Levitt Corporation) became a wholly owned subsidiary of BFC upon consummation of the merger between Woodbridge and BFC on September 21, 2009. Prior to the merger, BFC held an approximately 59% voting interest in Woodbridge. BFC also has a direct non-controlling interest in Benihana. Shares of BFC’s Class A and Class B common stock representing a majority of BFC’s total voting power are owned or controlled by the Company’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Alan B. Levan, and by the Company’s Vice Chairman, John E. Abdo, both of whom are also directors of Bluegreen and Benihana, and executive officers and directors of BankAtlantic Bancorp and BankAtlantic.
     The following table presents related party transactions between the Company, BankAtlantic Bancorp, and Bluegreen at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. Woodbridge’s 2009 amounts are included in the amounts set forth for BFC. Amounts related to BankAtlantic Bancorp and BankAtlantic and services provided to Bluegreen after we acquired a controlling interest in Bluegreen (in November 2009) were eliminated in consolidation.

(a)   Pursuant to the terms of shared service agreements between the Company and BankAtlantic Bancorp, subsidiaries of the Company provide shared service operations in the areas of human resources, risk management, investor relations, executive office administration and other services to BankAtlantic Bancorp. Additionally, the Company 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, the Company pays BankAtlantic Bancorp and Bluegreen for office facilities costs relating to the Company and its shared service operations. In March 2008, BankAtlantic entered into an agreement with Woodbridge to provide information technology support in exchange for monthly payments to BankAtlantic of $10,000, including a one-time set up charge of $20,000 in 2009. Monthly payments were increased to $15,000 effective July 1, 2009.
 
(b)   As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company had cash and cash equivalents accounts at BankAtlantic with balances of approximately $3.8 million and $20.9 million, respectively. These accounts were on the same general terms as deposits made by unaffiliated third parties. Additionally, during 2009, the Company invested funds through the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (“CDARS”) program at BankAtlantic, which facilitates the placement of funds into certificates of deposits 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 December 31, 2009, the Company had $7.7 million invested through the CDARS program at BankAtlantic. The Company did not have any funds invested through the CDARS program at BankAtlantic at June 30, 2010.
     In June 2010, BankAtlantic and BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company entered into a real estate advisory service agreement with BFC for assistance relating to the work-out of loans and the sale of real estate owned. BFC will receive a monthly fee of $12,500 from each of BankAtlantic and BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company and if BFC’s efforts result in net recoveries of any nonperforming loan or the sale of real estate owned, BFC will receive a fee equal to 1% of the net value recovered.
     On June 28, 2010, BFC loaned approximately $8.0 million to BankAtlantic Bancorp, and BankAtlantic Bancorp executed a promissory note agreement in favor of BFC with a maturity date of July 30, 2010. The note provided for payment either in cash or shares of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s Class A Common Stock, depending on the results of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s Rights Offering and the number of shares allocable to BFC pursuant to the offering. At June 30, 2010, the promissory note due from BankAtlantic Bancorp was eliminated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In July 2010, BankAtlantic Bancorp satisfied the promissory note in full through the issuance of 5,302,816 shares of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s Class A Common stock in respect of BFC’s exercise of both its Basic Subscription Rights and Over-Subscription Request in the Rights Offering.
     The Company leases office space to Pizza Fusion for approximately $68,000 annually pursuant to a month-to-month lease which commenced in September 2008. During each of the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, Pizza Fusion paid approximately $36,000 under this lease agreement.
     During the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, we were reimbursed approximately $1.6 million and $602,000, respectively, from Bluegreen for various advisory services and certain expenses incurred in assisting Bluegreen in its efforts to explore potential additional sources of liquidity.
     In prior periods, BankAtlantic Bancorp issued options to purchase shares of its Class A common stock to employees of Woodbridge prior to the spin-off of Woodbridge to BankAtlantic Bancorp’s shareholders. Additionally, certain employees of BankAtlantic Bancorp have transferred to affiliate companies and BankAtlantic Bancorp has elected, in accordance with the terms of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s 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.

These options vest in five years and expire ten years from the grant date. BankAtlantic recorded $12,000 and $25,000 of service provider expenses relating to these options for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
     Certain of the Company’s affiliates, including its executive officers, have 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 Company’s Class B Common Stock and 1,270,294 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock. Alan B. Levan may be deemed to be the controlling shareholder of Florida Partners Corporation, and is also a member of its Board of Directors.
     During December 2009, BFC’s wholly owned subsidiary, Snapper Creek Equity Management, LLC, was engaged by Benihana to provide certain management, financial advisory and other consulting services. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the consulting fees payable to Snapper Creek Equity Management under this arrangement were approximately $350,000. Benihana also recently engaged Risk Management Services (“RMS”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of BFC, to provide insurance and risk management services. Fees paid or owed to RMS under this arrangement were not significant for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

24. Litigation
     Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes in our legal proceedings from those disclosed in Note 23 “Litigation” to the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 (see also Note 20 in this report for information relating to all of Bluegreen’s material legal proceedings).
Surety Bond Claim (Westchester Fire Insurance Company v. City of Brooksville)
     This litigation arose from a dispute regarding liability under two performance bonds for infrastructure issued in connection with a plat issued by the City of Brooksville for a single family housing project that was not commenced. The project had been abandoned by Levitt and Sons prior to its bankruptcy filing as non-viable as a consequence of the economic downturn and, in connection with the Levitt and Sons bankruptcy, the mortgagee, Key Bank, was permitted by agreement to initiate and conclude a foreclosure leading to the acquisition of the property by Key Bank’s subsidiary. The City of Brooksville contended that, notwithstanding that the development had not proceeded and was not likely to proceed at any known time in the future, it was entitled to recover the face of the amount of the bonds in the approximate amount of $5.4 million. The company filed a suit for declaratory judgment (in the name of its surety, Westchester) against the City of Brooksville contending that the obligation under the bonds had terminated. On August 2, 2010, the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida granted Westchester’s motion for summary judgment, terminating any obligation under the bonds. It is anticipated that the City will seek rehearing and, if it is denied, will prosecute an appeal of the court’s decision.
     In the ordinary course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are also parties to proceedings or lawsuits as plaintiff or defendant involving its operations and activities. Although the Company believes it has meritorious defenses in the pending legal actions and that the outcomes of these pending legal matters should not materially impact us, the ultimate outcomes of these matters are uncertain.
25. New Accounting Pronouncements
     Beginning with the period ended March 31, 2010, new accounting guidance was implemented requiring the following additional disclosure regarding fair value measurements: (1) transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 measurements and the reasons for the transfers, and (2) a presentation of gross activity within the Level 3 roll forward. The guidance also included clarifications to existing disclosure requirements on the level of disaggregation and disclosures regarding inputs and valuation techniques. The guidance is applicable to all disclosures about recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The effective date of the guidance was the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the gross presentation of the Level 3 roll forward information, which is required for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim reporting periods within those years. The additional disclosures made in accordance with this new guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
     In July 2010, the FASB issued new disclosure guidance about the “Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses.” The new guidance provides enhanced disclosures related to the credit quality of financing receivables which includes the Company’s loans receivable and the allowance for credit losses, and provides that new and existing disclosures should be disaggregated based on how an entity develops its allowance for credit losses and how it manages credit exposures. Under the new guidance, additional disclosures required for loans receivable include information regarding the aging of past due receivables, credit quality indicators, and modifications of financing receivables. The new guidance is effective for periods ending after December 15, 2010, with the exception of the amendments to the roll forward of the allowance for credit losses and the disclosures about modifications which are effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2010. Comparative disclosures are required only for periods ending subsequent to initial adoption. The Company is currently assessing the effects of adopting the provisions of this new guidance.

     BFC Financial Corporation (“BFC” or, unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, “we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company”) is a diversified holding company whose principal holdings include a controlling interest in BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including BankAtlantic (“BankAtlantic Bancorp”), a controlling interest in Bluegreen Corporation and its subsidiaries (“Bluegreen”), a non-controlling interest in Benihana Inc. (“Benihana”), and a controlling interest in Core Communities, LLC (“Core” or “Core Communities”). As a result of our position as the controlling shareholder of BankAtlantic Bancorp, we are a “unitary savings bank holding company” regulated by the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”).
     Historically, BFC’s business strategy has been to invest in and acquire businesses in diverse industries either directly or through controlled subsidiaries. However, BFC believes that, in the short term, the Company’s and its shareholders’ interests are best served by BFC providing strategic support to its existing investments. In furtherance of this strategy, the Company took several steps in 2009 and 2010, including those described below, which it believes will enhance the Company’s prospects. During the third quarter of 2009, BFC and Woodbridge Holdings Corporation consummated their merger pursuant to which Woodbridge became a wholly-owned subsidiary of BFC. During the fourth quarter of 2009, our ownership interest in Bluegreen increased to 52% as a result of the purchase of an additional 23% interest in Bluegreen. The acquisition of this control position in Bluegreen resulted in a “bargain purchase gain” under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) of approximately $183.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. We have also increased our investment in BankAtlantic Bancorp through our participation in BankAtlantic Bancorp’s rights offerings to its shareholders during the third quarter of 2009 and the second quarter of 2010, which in the aggregate increased our economic interest in BankAtlantic Bancorp to 45% and our voting interest in BankAtlantic Bancorp to 71%. In addition, we have taken actions to restructure Core in recognition of the continued depressed real estate market and Core’s inability to meet its obligations. In the future, we will consider other such opportunities that could alter our ownership in our affiliates or seek to make opportunistic investments outside of our existing portfolio; however, we do not currently have pre-determined parameters as to the industry or structure of any future investment. In furtherance of our goals, we will continue to evaluate various financing transactions that may present themselves, including raising additional debt or equity as well as other alternative sources of new capital.
     During July 2010, Benihana announced its intention to engage in a formal review of strategic alternatives, including a possible sale of the company. BFC is supportive of Benihana in achieving its objectives.
     On June 18, 2010, BankAtlantic Bancorp commenced a rights offering (the “Rights Offering”) to its shareholders of record as of the close of business on June 14, 2010 (the “Record Date”). In the Rights Offering, BankAtlantic Bancorp distributed to each eligible shareholder 0.327 subscription rights for each share of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock owned as of the close of business on the Record Date. Fractional subscription rights were rounded up to the next largest whole number. Each subscription right entitled the holder thereof to purchase one share of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s Class A Common Stock at the purchase price of $1.50 per share. Shareholders who exercised their Basic Subscription Rights in full were also given the opportunity to request to purchase any additional shares of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s Class A Common Stock that remained unsubscribed at the expiration of the Rights Offering at the same $1.50 per share purchase price, subject to certain determinations and allocations. The Rights Offering expired on July 20, 2010.

     During June 2010, BFC exercised its basic subscription rights, in full, amounting to 5,986,865 shares of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s Class A Common Stock, and requested to purchase an additional 4,013,135 shares of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s Class A Common Stock to the extent available. In connection with the exercise of its subscription rights, BFC delivered to BankAtlantic Bancorp $15.0 million in cash, which represented the full purchase price for all of the shares subscribed for by BFC. In exchange, BFC was issued 4,697,184 shares of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s Class A Common Stock on June 28, 2010, which represented a portion of its basic subscription rights exercise. The issuance of these shares increased BFC’s ownership interest in BankAtlantic Bancorp from 37% to 43% and BFC’s voting interest in BankAtlantic Bancorp from 66% to 69%. The balance of BFC’s subscription was treated as an advance to BankAtlantic Bancorp, as evidenced by a related $8.0 million promissory note executed by BankAtlantic Bancorp in favor of BFC. The promissory note had a scheduled maturity of July 30, 2010 and was payable in cash or shares of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s Class A Common Stock issuable to BFC in connection with its exercise of subscription rights in the Rights Offering. The promissory note was eliminated in consolidation as of June 30, 2010. See Note 21 of the “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements” for further information regarding the promissory note. In July 2010, in connection with the completion of the Rights Offering, the promissory note was satisfied in accordance with its terms through the issuance to BFC of the additional 5,302,816 shares of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s Class A Common Stock subscribed for by BFC in the Rights Offering, which increased BFC’s ownership interest in BankAtlantic Bancorp to 45% and BFC’s voting interest in BankAtlantic Bancorp to 71%.
     As previously disclosed, on September 21, 2009, we consummated our merger with Woodbridge Holdings Corporation pursuant to which Woodbridge Holdings Corporation merged with and into Woodbridge Holdings, LLC, our wholly-owned subsidiary which continued as the surviving company of the merger and the successor entity to Woodbridge Holdings Corporation. Pursuant to the terms of the merger, which was approved by each company’s shareholders at their respective meetings held on September 21, 2009, each outstanding share of Woodbridge’s Class A Common Stock (other than those held by Dissenting Holders) automatically converted into the right to receive 3.47 shares of our Class A Common Stock. Shares otherwise issuable to us attributable to the shares of Woodbridge’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock owned by us were canceled in connection with the merger. As a result of the merger, Woodbridge Holdings Corporation’s separate corporate existence ceased and its Class A Common Stock is no longer publicly traded.
     On November 16, 2009, approximately 7.4 million shares of common stock of Bluegreen were purchased for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $23 million. We previously owned approximately 9.5 million shares of Bluegreen’s common stock and, as a result, our ownership interest in Bluegreen increased from 29% of Bluegreen’s outstanding common stock to approximately 52%. Accordingly, we now have a controlling interest in Bluegreen and, under GAAP, Bluegreen’s results since the November 16, 2009 acquisition date are consolidated in our financial statements. Prior to November 16, 2009, our approximate 29% equity investment in Bluegreen was accounted for using the equity method.
     GAAP requires that BFC consolidate the financial results of the entities in which it has a controlling interest. As a consequence, the assets and liabilities of all such entities are presented on a consolidated basis in BFC’s financial statements. However, except as otherwise noted, the debts and obligations of the consolidated entities, including BankAtlantic Bancorp, Bluegreen, Woodbridge and Core, are not direct obligations of BFC and are non-recourse to BFC. Similarly, the assets of those entities are not available to BFC absent a dividend or distribution from those entities, which may be limited or restricted. The recognition by BFC of income from controlled entities is determined based on the total percent of economic ownership in those entities. At June 30, 2010, BFC owned an approximately 43% ownership interest and an approximately 69% voting interest in BankAtlantic Bancorp, and approximately 52% of Bluegreen’s common stock.
     On February 20, 2009, the Bankruptcy Court presiding over the Chapter 11 cases 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 with the Joint Committee of Unsecured Creditors. No appeal or rehearing of the Bankruptcy Court’s order was 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. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, we agreed to share a percentage of any tax refund attributable to periods prior to the bankruptcy with the Debtors Estate. In the fourth quarter of 2009, we accrued approximately $10.7 million in connection with the portion of the tax refund which may be payable to the Debtors Estate pursuant to the settlement agreement. As a result, the gain on settlement of investment in subsidiary for the year ended December 31, 2009 was reduced to $29.7 million. Additionally, in the second quarter of 2010, we increased the $10.7 million accrual by approximately $1.1 million representing the portion of an additional tax refund which we expect to receive due to a recent change in Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) guidance that will likely be required to be paid to the Debtors Estate pursuant to the Settlement Agreement. As of June 30, 2010, we had accrued a liability of approximately $11.8 million which represents a portion of tax refunds to be shared with the Debtors Estate pursuant to the settlement agreement.

     In December 2009, Core Communities reinitiated efforts to sell two of its commercial leasing projects (the “Projects”) and began soliciting bids from several potential buyers to purchase assets associated with the Projects. Due to this decision, the assets associated with the Projects were reclassified as assets held for sale and the liabilities related to these assets were reclassified as liabilities related to assets held for sale in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Additionally, the results of operations for the Projects were reclassified to income from discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. On June 10, 2010, Core sold the Projects to Inland Real Estate Acquisition, Inc. (“Inland”) for approximately $75.4 million. As a result of the sale, Core realized a gain on sale of discontinued operations of approximately $2.6 million in the second quarter of 2010. See Note 5 of the “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements” for further information.
     On January 1, 2010, BFC, Bluegreen and BankAtlantic Bancorp adopted an amendment to the accounting guidance associated with the consolidation of variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and the accounting guidance for transfers of financial assets. The adoption of these standards resulted in Bluegreen consolidating seven of its special purpose finance entities and BankAtlantic Bancorp consolidating its joint venture that conducts a factoring business. For further information, see Note 2 of the “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements”.
     As a result of the Woodbridge merger on September 21, 2009 and the Bluegreen share acquisition on November 16, 2009, the Company reorganized its reportable segments to better align its segments with the current operations of its businesses. The Company’s business activities currently consist of (i) Real Estate and Other Activities and (ii) Financial Services. The Company currently reports the results of operations of its business activities through six reportable segments: BFC Activities, Real Estate Operations, Bluegreen Resorts, Bluegreen Communities, and the two reportable segments through which Financial Services activities are conducted, BankAtlantic and BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company. As a result of this reorganization, our BFC Activities segment now includes activities formerly reported in the Woodbridge Other Operations segment, and our Real Estate Operations segment is comprised of what was previously identified as the Land Division. Bluegreen’s results of operations since November 16, 2009 are reported through the Bluegreen Resorts and Bluegreen Communities segments. Prior to November 16, 2009, when we owned approximately 9.5 million shares of Bluegreen’s common stock, representing approximately 29% of such stock, the investment in Bluegreen was accounted for using the equity method of accounting, and our interest in Bluegreen’s earnings and losses was included in our BFC Activities segment. The Company’s Financial Services business activities include BankAtlantic Bancorp’s results of operations and are reported in two segments: BankAtlantic and BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company.

Critical Accounting Policies
     Management views critical accounting policies as accounting policies that are important to the understanding of our financial statements and also involve estimates and judgments about inherently uncertain matters. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated statements of financial condition and assumptions that affect the recognition of income and expenses on the consolidated statements of operations for the periods presented. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in subsequent periods relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, evaluation of goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment, the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosure or in satisfaction of loans, the 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 acquisition 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 and notes receivables; (ii) impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets; (iii) valuation of securities as well as the determination of other-than-temporary declines in value; (iv) accounting for business combinations, including the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities in the application of the acquisition method of accounting; (v) the valuation of real estate; (vi) revenue and cost recognition on percentage of completion; (vii) estimated cost to complete construction; (viii) the valuation of equity method investments; (ix) accounting for deferred tax asset valuation allowance; and (x) accounting for contingencies. 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, 2009.

     The results of our business segments and other information on each segment are discussed below in BFC Activities, Real Estate Operations, Bluegreen Resorts, Bluegreen Communities, BankAtlantic and BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company.
Consolidated Financial Condition
     Total assets at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were $6.2 billion and $6.0 billion, respectively. On January 1, 2010, BFC, Bluegreen and BankAtlantic Bancorp adopted an amendment to the accounting guidance for transfers of financial assets and an amendment to the accounting guidance associated with the consolidation of VIEs. As a result of the adoption of these accounting standards, Bluegreen consolidated seven existing special purpose finance entities associated with prior securitization transactions that previously qualified for off-balance sheet sales treatment, and BankAtlantic Bancorp consolidated its joint venture that conducts a factoring business. Accordingly, Bluegreen’s consolidated special purpose finance entities and BankAtlantic Bancorp’s consolidated factoring joint venture are now consolidated in BFC’s financial statements. The consolidation of Bluegreen’s special purpose finance entities resulted in a one-time non-cash after-tax reduction to retained earnings of $2.1 million. No charges were recorded in connection with consolidation of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s factoring joint venture. The adoption of this change in accounting principle also resulted in the following impacts to the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition at January 1, 2010: (1) assets increased by $414.1 million, primarily representing the consolidation of notes receivable, net of allowance, partially offset by the elimination of Bluegreen’s retained interests; (2) liabilities increased by $416.2 million, primarily representing the consolidation of non-recourse debt obligations associated with third parties, partially offset by the

elimination of certain deferred tax liabilities; and (3) total equity decreased by approximately $2.0 million, including a decrease of approximately $811,000 to noncontrolling interests (see Note 2 of the “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements” for further information). Other than such increases and decreases, the changes in components of total assets from December 31, 2009 to June 30, 2010 were primarily comprised of:
    an increase in cash and cash equivalents primarily reflecting a $191.2 million increase in BankAtlantic Bancorp’s cash balances at the Federal Reserve Bank associated with daily cash management activities. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, cash provided by operations was approximately $176.3 million, cash provided by investing activities was approximately $298.7 million and cash used in financing activities was approximately $290.6 million;
 
    an increase in BankAtlantic Bancorp’s interest-bearing deposits at other financial institutions associated with the investment of excess cash as yields on certificates of deposit at federally insured financial institutions were higher than alternative short term investment yields;
 
    a decrease in securities available for sale reflecting BankAtlantic Bancorp’s sale of $43.8 million of mortgage-backed securities, as well as repayments partially offset by a $50 million purchase of federal agency debt securities;
 
    an increase in derivatives associated with a foreign currency derivative position executed during the second quarter of 2010 as an economic hedge of foreign currency used in BankAtlantic’s ATM cruise ship operations;
 
    a decrease in current income tax receivables primarily resulting from the receipt of income tax refunds associated with recent tax law changes which extended the net operating loss carry-back period from two years to up to five years;
 
    an increase in BankAtlantic Bancorp’s tax certificate balances primarily relating to the purchase of $93.1 million of tax certificates during the second quarter of 2010;
 
    a decrease in BankAtlantic Bancorp’s loan receivable balances associated with $80.6 million of charge-offs, $19.3 million of loans transferred to REO, $45.8 million from the sale of loans and repayments of loans in the normal course of business combined with a significant decline in loan originations and purchases;
 
    a decrease in accrued interest receivable primarily resulting from tax certificate activities and lower loan balances at BankAtlantic Bancorp;
 
    a decrease in real estate inventory primarily resulting from the sale of a BankAtlantic Bancorp property;
 
    an increase in BankAtlantic Bancorp’s real estate owned and other repossessed assets associated with residential and commercial loan foreclosures; and
 
    a decrease in assets held for sale resulting from the sale of Core’s Projects in June 2010. See Note 5 of the “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements” for further information.
     The Company’s total liabilities at June 30, 2010 were $5.8 billion compared to $5.6 billion at December 31, 2009. Other than increases due to the change in accounting principle at January 1, 2010, the primary changes in components of total liabilities from December 31, 2009 to June 30, 2010 were summarized below:
    a decrease in BankAtlantic’s interest bearing deposit account balances associated with a $210.6 million decline in certificate of deposit balances partially offset by higher interest-bearing checking and savings account balances;
 
    an increase in BankAtlantic’s non-interest-bearing deposit balances primarily due to increased customer balances in checking accounts;
 
    lower FHLB advances at BankAtlantic due to repayments using proceeds from the sales of securities and loan repayments and increases in deposit account balances;
 
    an increase in BankAtlantic Bancorp’s junior subordinated debentures due to interest deferrals;
 
    an increase in other liabilities associated with $30.0 million of securities purchased pending settlement at BankAtlantic Bancorp; and
 
    a decrease in liabilities related to assets held for sale resulting from the sale of Core’s Projects in June 2010. See Note 5 of the “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements” for further information.

     Interest expense consists of interest incurred less interest capitalized. Interest incurred totaled $1.6 million and $3.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 compared with $1.9 million and $3.7 million for the same periods in 2009. No interest was capitalized during the three or six months ended June 30, 2010 or the three months ended June 30, 2009, while interest capitalized during the six months ended June 30, 2009 totaled $931,000. This resulted in net interest expense of $1.6 million and $3.5 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, compared to $1.9 million and $2.8 million, respectively, of net interest expense in the same 2009 periods.
     General and administrative expenses decreased $409,000 to $7.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $7.6 million for the same period in 2009. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, general and administrative expenses decreased $915,000 to $13.6 million from $14.5 million for the same period in 2009. The decrease in general and administrative expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2010, was primarily attributable to lower severance charges and lower bonuses offset in part by higher accrued audit fees incurred during 2010 relating to the 2009 year-end audit, increased professional services and a write-off of intangible assets related to Pizza Fusion. Included in the general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2010 is management advisory service fees earned in connection with an agreement with Bluegreen (See Note 21 of the “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements” for further information).

BFC Activities
     Prior to the consolidation of Bluegreen into our consolidated financial statements on November 16, 2009, we accounted for our investment in Bluegreen under the equity method of accounting. Our interest in Bluegreen’s earnings during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 was $10.7 million and $17.1 million, respectively (after the amortization of approximately $8.6 million and $13.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, related to the change in the basis as a result of impairment charges on this investment). During the six months ended June 30, 2009, we recorded $20.4 million of impairment charges relating to our equity method investment in Bluegreen.
     During the six months ended June 30, 2009, we recorded impairment charges of $2.4 million on our investment in Office Depot’s common stock. The Company sold its remaining shares of Office Depot’s common stock during the fourth quarter of 2009.
     During the second quarter of 2010, we recognized a tax benefit of approximately $5.4 million resulting from an expected additional tax refund due to a recent change in IRS guidance, of which approximately $1.1 million may be payable to the Levitt and Sons’ estate. The $1.1 million was recorded in the (loss) gain on settlement of investment in Woodbridge’s subsidiary and is subject to change pending a final review of the $5.4 million expected tax refund by the IRS. The gain on settlement of investment in Woodbridge’s subsidiary during the six months ended June 30, 2009 reflected 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 on a consolidated basis in the first quarter of 2009, of which $27 million was recorded in the BFC Activities segment.
2008 and 2007 Step acquisitions — Purchase Accounting
     BFC’s acquisitions in 2008 and 2007 of additional shares of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s and Woodbridge’s Class A Common Stock, respectively, were accounted for as step acquisitions under the purchase method of accounting then in effect. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities acquired were revalued to reflect market values at the respective dates of acquisition. The discounts and premiums arising as a result of such revaluations are generally being accreted or amortized, net of tax, over the remaining life of the assets and liabilities. The net impact of such accretion, amortization and other effects of purchase accounting decreased our consolidated net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2010 by approximately $23,000 and increased our consolidated net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2010 by approximately $62,000. The net impact also decreased our consolidated net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 by approximately $91,000 and $760,000, respectively.
BFC Activities- Liquidity and Capital Resources
     As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaling approximately $46 million and $45 million, respectively. The increase in cash, cash equivalents and short term investments at June 30, 2010 compared to December 31, 2009 primarily resulted from the receipt of an income tax refund of approximately $29.2 million. This increase was offset by cash used to fund BFC’s operating and general and administrative expenses and to purchase shares of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s Class A Common Stock in BankAtlantic Bancorp’s Rights Offering as described below.
     On June 18, 2010, BankAtlantic Bancorp commenced a rights offering (the “Rights Offering”) to its shareholders of record as of the close of business on June 14, 2010 (the “Record Date”). In the Rights Offering, BankAtlantic Bancorp distributed to each eligible shareholder 0.327 subscription rights for each share of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock owned as of the close of business on the Record Date. Fractional subscription rights were rounded up to the next largest whole number. Each subscription right entitled the holder thereof to purchase one share of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s Class A Common Stock at the purchase price of $1.50 per share. Shareholders who exercised their basic subscription rights in full were also given the opportunity to request to purchase any additional shares of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s Class A Common Stock that remained unsubscribed for at the expiration of the Rights Offering at the same $1.50 per share purchase price, subject to certain determinations and allocations. The Rights Offering expired on July 20, 2010.
     During June 2010, BFC exercised its basic subscription rights, in full, amounting to 5,986,865 shares of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s Class A Common Stock, and requested to purchase an additional 4,013,135 shares of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s Class A Common Stock to the extent available. In connection with the exercise of its subscription rights, BFC delivered to BankAtlantic Bancorp $15.0 million in cash, which represented the full purchase price for all of the shares subscribed for by BFC. In exchange, BFC was issued 4,697,184 shares of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s Class A Common Stock on June 28, 2010, which represented a portion of its basic subscription rights exercise. The issuance of these shares increased BFC’s ownership interest in BankAtlantic Bancorp from 37% to 43% and BFC’s voting interest in BankAtlantic Bancorp from 66% to 69%. The balance of BFC’s subscription was treated as an advance to BankAtlantic Bancorp, as evidenced by a related $8.0 million promissory note executed by BankAtlantic Bancorp in favor of BFC. The promissory note had a scheduled maturity of July 30, 2010 and was payable in cash or shares of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s Class A Common Stock issuable to BFC in connection with its exercise of subscription rights in the Rights Offering. The promissory note was eliminated in consolidation as of June 30, 2010. See Note 21 of the “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements”, Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions, for further information regarding the promissory note. In July 2010, in connection with the completion of the Rights Offering, the promissory note was satisfied in accordance with its terms through the issuance to BFC of the additional 5,302,816 shares of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s Class A Common Stock subscribed for by BFC in the Rights Offering, which increased BFC’s ownership interest in BankAtlantic Bancorp to 45% and BFC’s voting interest in BankAtlantic Bancorp to 71%.

BFC Activities
     Except as otherwise noted, the debts and obligations of BankAtlantic Bancorp, Bluegreen, Woodbridge and Core are not direct obligations of BFC and generally are non-recourse to BFC. Similarly, the assets of those entities are not available to BFC, absent a dividend or distribution from those entities. BFC’s principal sources of liquidity are its available cash, short-term investments, dividends or distributions from our subsidiaries and dividends from Benihana. In connection with recent tax law changes, we received approximately $29.2 million of tax refunds and expect to receive an additional approximately $10.8 million when the final review is completed by the Internal Revenue Service. Pursuant to the Levitt and Sons’ bankruptcy settlement agreement, we agreed that a portion of the tax refund attributable to the Debtors Estate for periods prior to the bankruptcy would be paid to the estate, and it is estimated that approximately $11.8 million will be paid to the estate pursuant to this agreement.
     We will use our available funds to fund operations and meet our obligations, we may also use available funds to make additional investments in the companies within our consolidated group, invest in equity securities and other investments, or repurchase shares of our common stock pursuant to our share repurchase program.
     Since March 2009, BFC has not received cash dividends from BankAtlantic Bancorp and does not expect to receive cash dividends from BankAtlantic Bancorp for the foreseeable future because BankAtlantic Bancorp is currently prohibited from paying dividends on its common stock. Furthermore, certain of Bluegreen’s credit facilities contain terms which might limit the payment of cash dividends.
     We believe that our current financial condition and credit relationships, together with anticipated cash flows from operating activities and other sources of funds, including tax refunds and proceeds from the disposition of certain properties or investments, will provide for anticipated near-term liquidity needs. With respect to long-term liquidity requirements, in addition to the foregoing, BFC may also seek to raise funds through the issuance of long-term secured or unsecured indebtedness, equity and/or debt securities or through 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.
     On September 21, 2009, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program which authorizes the repurchase of up to 20,000,000 shares of Class A and Class B Common Stock at an aggregate cost of no more than $10 million. The share repurchase program replaced our $10 million repurchase program that our Board of Directors approved in October 2006 which placed a limitation on the number of shares which could be repurchased under the program at 1,750,000 shares of Class A Common Stock. The current program, like the prior program, authorizes management, at its discretion, to repurchase shares from time to time subject to market conditions and other factors. No shares were repurchased during the six months ended June 30, 2010 or the year ended December 31, 2009.
     The development activities at Carolina Oak, which is within Tradition Hilton Head, were suspended in the fourth quarter of 2008 as a result of, among other things, an overall softening of demand for new homes and a decline in the overall economy. In 2009, the housing industry continued to face significant challenges and Woodbridge made the decision to cease all activities at Carolina Oak. In the fourth quarter of 2009, we reviewed the inventory of real estate at Carolina Oak for impairment and as a result, recorded a $16.7 million impairment charge to adjust the carrying amount of Carolina Oak’s inventory to its fair value of $10.8 million. Woodbridge is the obligor under a $37.2 million loan that is collateralized by the Carolina Oak property. During 2009, the lender declared the loan to be in default and filed an action for foreclosure, and while there may have been an issue with respect to compliance with certain covenants in the loan agreements, we do not believe that an event of default had occurred as was alleged. Woodbridge continues to seek satisfactory conclusion with regard to the debt; however, the outcome of these efforts and the litigation is uncertain.

BFC Activities
     During 2008, Woodbridge entered into a settlement agreement, as amended (the “Settlement Agreement”), with the Debtors and the Joint Committee of Unsecured Creditors (the “Joint Committee”) appointed in the Chapter 11 cases related to the Levitt and Sons bankruptcy filing. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, among other things, (i) Woodbridge agreed to pay $8 million to the Debtors’ bankruptcy estates, establish a $4.5 million release fund to be disbursed to third party creditors in exchange for a third party release and injunction, pay an additional $300,000 to a deposit holders fund and waive and release substantially all of the claims it had against the Debtors, including its administrative expense claims through July 2008, and (ii) the Debtors (joined by the Joint Committee) agreed to waive and release any claims they had against Woodbridge and its affiliates. The Settlement Agreement also provided that if, within one year after the Bankruptcy Court’s confirmation of the Settlement Agreement, Section 172 of the Internal Revenue Code was amended to permit a carry back of tax losses from calendar years 2007 or 2008 to one or more years preceding calendar year 2005, then Woodbridge would share a portion of any resulting tax refund with the Debtors and the Joint Committee based on an agreed upon formula. The Settlement Agreement 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. No appeal or rehearing of the Bankruptcy Court’s 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.
     In November 2009, the Workers, Homeownership, and Business Assistance Act of 2009 (the “Act”) was enacted and extended the net operating loss (“NOL”) carry-back period from two years to up to five years for the 2008 or the 2009 tax years and as a result, the Act allows us to increase our NOL carryback period to as much as five years for NOLs generated in 2008 or 2009 and obtain refunds of taxes paid in the newly included carryback years. The amount of the expected refund to the Company has been determined to be approximately $40.0 million, of which approximately $29.2 million has been received. The balance of the tax refund claim of approximately $10.8 million will most likely be paid when the Internal Revenue Service completes its review. As described above, under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, a portion of the refund, upon receipt, will be payable to the Levitt and Sons estate. Accordingly, in the fourth quarter of 2009, we accrued approximately $10.7 million in connection with the portion of the tax refund which may be payable to the Debtors Estate pursuant to the Settlement Agreement. The gain on settlement of investment in subsidiary of $40.4 million recorded in the first quarter of 2009 was reduced by the $10.7 million accrual recorded in the fourth quarter of 2009 resulting in a $29.7 million gain on settlement of investment in subsidiary for the year ended December 31, 2009. Additionally, in the second quarter of 2010, we increased the $10.7 million accrual by approximately $1.1 million, representing the portion of an additional tax refund which we expect to receive due to a recent change in Internal Revenue Service guidance that will likely be required to be paid to the Debtors Estate pursuant to the Settlement Agreement. As of June 30, 2010, we had accrued a liability of approximately $11.8 million which represents a portion of tax refunds to be shared with the Debtors Estate pursuant to the settlement agreement.
     As discussed above, on September 21, 2009, BFC and Woodbridge consummated their previously announced merger pursuant to which Woodbridge merged with BFC. In connection with the merger, Dissenting Holders who collectively held approximately 4.2 million shares of Woodbridge’s Class A Common Stock exercised their appraisal rights and are entitled to receive an amount equal to the fair value of their shares calculated in accordance with Florida law. The Dissenting Holders have rejected Woodbridge’s offer of $1.10 per share and requested payment for their shares based on their respective fair value estimates of Woodbridge’s Class A Common Stock. In December 2009, the Company recorded a $4.6 million liability with a corresponding reduction to additional paid-in capital representing, in the aggregate, Woodbridge’s offer to the Dissenting Holders. However, the appraisal rights litigation is currently ongoing and its outcome is uncertain, and there is no assurance as to the amount of cash that we will be required to pay to the Dissenting Holders, which amount may be greater than the $4.6 million that we have accrued.
     The Company owns 800,000 shares of Benihana’s Convertible Preferred Stock, which it purchased for $25.00 per share. The Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into Benihana’s common stock. Based on the number of currently outstanding shares of Benihana’s capital stock, the Convertible Preferred Stock, if converted, would represent an approximate 19% voting interest and an approximate 9% economic interest in Benihana’s capital stock. The Company has the right to receive cumulative quarterly dividends on its shares of Benihana’s Convertible Preferred Stock 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 Benihana’s Convertible Preferred Stock. The Convertible Preferred Stock is subject to mandatory redemption of $20 million plus accumulated dividends on July 2, 2014 unless we elect to extend the mandatory redemption date to a date not later than July 2, 2024.

     On June 21, 2004, the Company sold 15,000 shares of its 5% Preferred Stock to an investor group in a private offering. The Company’s 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 $1,025 per share for the year 2010 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 Company’s 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. Since June 2004, the Company has paid quarterly dividends on the 5% Preferred Stock of $187,500. On December 17, 2008, the Company amended certain of the previously designated relative rights, preferences and limitations of the Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Benihana’s Convertible Preferred Stock, (ii) the Company sells any shares of Benihana’s Common Stock received upon conversion of Benihana’s Convertible Preferred Stock or (iii) Benihana redeems any shares of its Convertible Preferred Stock owned by the Company. Additionally, in the event 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 Benihana’s Convertible Preferred Stock owned by the Company or on the shares of Benihana’s Common Stock received by the Company upon conversion of Benihana’s Convertible Preferred Stock.
     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. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the carrying amount of this investment was approximately $673,000 and $690,000, respectively, which is included in investments in unconsolidated affiliates in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. 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 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 BFC’s obligations under the guarantee to acts of BFC and its affiliates.
     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. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the carrying amount of this investment was approximately $310,000 and $319,000, respectively, which is included in investments in unconsolidated affiliates in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. 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 proceeding under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or similar state insolvency laws or in the event of any transfer of interests not in accordance with the loan documents. BFC and the unaffiliated members also entered into a cross indemnification agreement which limits BFC’s obligations under the guarantee to acts of BFC and its affiliates.
     No amounts are recorded in the Company’s financial statements for the obligations associated with the above guarantees based on the potential indemnification by unaffiliated members and the limit of the specific obligations to non-financial matters.

These activities are concentrated in Florida and South Carolina and have included the development and sale of land, the construction and sale of single family homes and townhomes and the leasing of commercial properties and office space, and include the operations of Core, Carolina Oak, which engaged in homebuilding activities in South Carolina prior to the suspension of those activities in the fourth quarter of 2008, and Cypress Creek Holdings, which engages in leasing activities.
     Woodbridge’s operations historically were concentrated in the real estate industry which is cyclical in nature. During 2009 and the six months ended June 30, 2010, the real estate markets continued to experience a significant downturn. Demand for residential and commercial inventory in Florida and South Carolina remained weak and land sales continued to decline. The decrease in land sales and continued cash flow deficits contributed to, among other things, the deterioration of Core’s liquidity. As a result, Core severely limited its development expenditures in Tradition, Florida and completely discontinued development activity in Tradition Hilton Head. The value of Core’s assets were significantly impaired, resulting in impairment charges relating to those assets of $78.0 million during 2009, which included $13.6 million of impairment charges related to assets held for sale. Core is currently in default under the terms of all of its indebtedness having an aggregate outstanding principal amount of $139.2 million. See “Core’s Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for more information regarding the status of Core’s outstanding indebtedness.
     As a consequence of the reduced activity at Core and in light of current market conditions, management made the decision to further reduce Core’s headcount by 41 employees in 2009 and recorded severance charges of approximately $1.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2009.

Real Estate
For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to the Same 2009 Period
     Revenues from sales of real estate for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were primarily comprised of land and home sales, and recognition of deferred revenue. During the three months ended June 30, 2010, we sold approximately 8 acres, which generated revenues of approximately $2.5 million, compared to the sale of approximately 3 acres, which generated revenues of approximately $424,000 in the same 2009 period. We did not recognize deferred revenue on previously sold land in the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to approximately $1.1 million recognized in the three months ended June 30, 2009. Additionally, we earned $320,000 in revenues from sales of real estate as a result of one home sold in the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to no home sales in the same 2010 period.
     Other revenues decreased to $297,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $675,000 for the same period in 2009. The decrease was due to lower rental income as a tenant did not renew its lease agreement which expired in March 2010.
     Cost of sales of real estate increased to $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $1.3 million for the same 2009 period. The increase in cost of sales of real estate was mainly due to an increase in sales of real estate at Core in the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same 2009 period. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in the recognition of deferred revenue in the second quarter of 2010 compared to the same 2009 period as no deferred revenue was recognized in 2010.
     Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $4.2 million for the same 2009 period. The decrease reflects the overall slowdown of activities at Core, including specifically lower compensation and benefits expense and lower office related expenses reflecting a lower headcount as a result of reductions in force at Core in 2009, lower sales and marketing expenses as neither Core nor Carolina Oak engaged in advertising activities in the quarter ended June 30, 2010, and lower developer expenses related to property owner associations in Tradition, Florida.
     Interest incurred totaled $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30 2010 and $2.0 million for the same 2009 period. No interest was capitalized in the three months ended June 30, 2010 while interest capitalized totaled $673,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Net interest expense increased in the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 primarily as a result of the Company’s decision to cease capitalizing interest in light of the significantly reduced development activities in Florida and the suspension of development activities in South Carolina. The increase was partially offset by lower interest rates for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. Historically, the capitalized interest allocated to inventory is charged to cost of sales as land and homes are sold. Cost of sales of real estate for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 did not include any significant amounts of previously capitalized interest.
     Interest and other income increased to $433,000 during three months ended June 30, 2010 from $126,000 during the same period in 2009. This increase was mainly due to fees reimbursed to us during the three months ended June 30, 2010 associated with a land sale in Tradition, Florida, as well as fees received in connection with sales made in prior periods.
     Income from discontinued operations, all of which related to Core’s Projects, increased to $2.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $139,000 in the same period in 2009. The increase was due to a gain of approximately $2.6 million recorded in connection with the sale of the Projects in June 2010. See Note 5 of the “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements” for further information.
For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to the Same 2009 Period
     During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we sold approximately 8 acres, which generated revenues of approximately $2.5 million, compared to the sale of approximately 13 acres, which generated revenues of approximately $1.1 million in the same 2009 period. We did not recognize deferred revenue on previously sold land in the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to approximately $1.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009. Additionally, we earned $320,000 in revenues from sales of real estate as a result of 1 home sold in the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to no home sales in the same 2010 period.

     Other revenues decreased to $934,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $1.3 million for the same period in 2009. The decrease was due to lower rental income as a tenant did not renew its lease agreement which expired in March 2010.
     Cost of sales of real estate remained relatively unchanged totaling $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and $2.0 million for the same 2009 period. Costs of sales related to land sales were higher in the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same 2009 period, offset by a decrease in the recognition of deferred revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same 2009 period as no deferred revenue was recognized in 2010.
     Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $8.6 million for the same 2009 period. The decrease reflects the overall slowdown of activities at Core , including specifically lower compensation and benefits expense and lower office related expenses reflecting a lower headcount as a result of reductions in force at Core in 2009, lower sales and marketing expenses as neither Core nor Carolina Oak engaged in advertising activities in the six months ended June 30, 2010, and lower developer expenses related to property owner associations in Tradition, Florida. In addition, there was lower severance expense at Core in the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same 2009 period. These decreases were slightly offset by an increase in professional services and property tax expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same 2009 period
     Interest incurred totaled $3.8 million for the six months ended June 30 2010 and $4.1 million for the same 2009 period. No interest was capitalized in the six months ended June 30, 2010 while interest capitalized totaled $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Net interest expense increased in the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 primarily as a result of the Company’s decision to cease capitalizing interest in light of the significantly reduced development activities in Florida and the suspension of development activities in South Carolina. The increase was partially offset by lower interest rates for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. Historically, the capitalized interest allocated to inventory is charged to cost of sales as land and homes are sold. Cost of sales of real estate for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 did not include any significant amounts of previously capitalized interest.
     Interest and other income increased to $486,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $410,000 during the same period in 2009. This increase was mainly due to consulting fees reimbursed to us during the six months ended June 30, 2010 associated with a land sale in Tradition, Florida as well as fees received in connection with sales made in prior periods. The increase was partially offset by lower forfeited deposits as no deposits were forfeited in the six months ended June 30, 2010.
     Income from discontinued operations, all of which related to Core’s Projects, increased to $2.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 from a loss of $665,000 in the same period in 2009. The increase was due to a gain of approximately $2.6 million recorded in connection with the sale of the Projects in June 2010. See Note 5 of the “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements” for further information.
Core’s Liquidity and Capital Resources
     At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, Core had cash and cash equivalents of $5.1 million and $2.9 million, respectively. Cash increased by $2.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2010 mainly due to the receipt of cash proceeds from a land sale comprising approximately 8 acres in Tradition, Florida and net cash proceeds from the sale of the commercial leasing projects, partially offset by cash used to fund Core’s general and administrative expenses and severance payments related to its recent reduction in work force. At June 30, 2010, Core had no immediate availability under its various lines of credit.
     During 2009, the recession continued and the demand for residential and commercial inventory showed no significant signs of recovery, particularly in the geographic regions where Core’s properties are located. The decrease in land sales and continued cash flow deficits contributed to, among other things, the deterioration of Core’s liquidity. As a result, Core severely limited its development expenditures in Tradition, Florida and has completely discontinued development activity in Tradition Hilton Head. Its assets have been impaired significantly and in an effort to bring about an orderly liquidation without a bankruptcy filing, Core commenced negotiations with all of its lenders and is seeking to liquidate its assets in an orderly way. Core is currently in default under the terms of all of its outstanding debt totaling approximately $139.2 million. Core continues to pursue all options with its lenders, including offering deeds in lieu and other similar transactions wherein Core would relinquish title to

Real Estate
substantially all of its assets. During February, 2010, with Core’s concurrence, a significant portion of the land in Tradition Hilton Head had been placed under the control of a court appointed receiver. In connection with the receivership, Core entered into a separate agreement with the lender that, among other things, grants Core a right of first refusal to purchase the $25.3 million loan in the event that the lender decides to sell the loan to a third party. This loan is collateralized by inventory that had a net carrying value of $33 million, net of impairment charges during 2009 of approximately $29.6 million. Separately, on April 7, 2010 and April 8, 2010, another of Core’s lenders filed a foreclosure action in South Carolina and Florida, respectively, seeking foreclosure of mortgage loans totaling approximately $113.8 million, plus additional interest, costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees. Core is currently in negotiations with the lender, regarding, among other things, accelerating the foreclosure actions, granting the lender a perfected first lien and security interest in certain additional Core subsidiaries, and releasing and indemnifying Core from any future obligations. As of June 30, 2010, the net carrying value of Core’s inventory collateralizing the defaulted loans that are the subject of these foreclosure proceedings was $82 million, net of impairment charges during 2009 of approximately $33.7 million. There was no impairment charge in the six months ended June 30, 2010. While negotiations with its lenders continue, there is no assurance that Core will be successful in reaching any agreement with its lenders with respect to resolution of its obligations.
     In December 2009, Core reinitiated efforts to sell the Projects and began soliciting bids from several potential buyers to purchase assets associated with the Projects. Due to this decision, the assets associated with the Projects were classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented in accordance with the accounting guidance for the disposal of long-lived assets. On June 10, 2010, Core completed the sale of the Projects to Inland with a sales price of approximately $75.4 million. As a result of the sale, Core realized a gain on sale of discontinued operations of approximately $2.6 million in the second quarter of 2010. The sale resulted in net cash proceeds to Core of approximately $1.5 million. See Note 5 of the “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements” for further information.
     Core is also a party to a certain Development Agreement with the city of Hardeeville, SC, under which Core is obligated to fund $1 million towards the building of a fire station. Funding was scheduled in three installments: the first installment of $100,000 was due on October 21, 2009; the second installment of $450,000 was due on January 1, 2010; and the final installment of $450,000 was due on April 1, 2010. Additionally, Core was obligated to fund certain staffing costs of $200,000 under the terms of this agreement. Core did not pay any of the required installments and has not funded the $200,000 payment for staffing. On November 5, 2009, Core received a notice of default from the city for non payment. In the event that Core is unable to obtain additional funds to make these payments, it may be unable to cure the default on its obligation to the city, which could result in a loss of entitlements associated with the development project.
     Based on an ongoing evaluation of its cost structure and in light of current market conditions, Core reduced its head count by 41 employees during 2009, resulting in approximately $1.3 million in severance charges which were recorded during the fourth quarter of 2009. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, severance related payments at Core totaled approximately $378,000 and $1.0 million, respectively.
     The negative impact of the adverse real estate market conditions on Core, together with Core’s limited liquidity, have caused substantial doubt regarding Core’s ability to continue as a going concern if Woodbridge chooses not to provide Core with the cash needed to meet its obligations when and as they arise. Woodbridge has not committed to fund any of Core’s obligations or cash requirements, and it is not currently anticipated that Woodbridge will provide any funds to Core. As a result, the consolidated financial statements and the financial information provided for Core do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Core’s results are reported in the Real Estate Operations segment. See Note 19 of the “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements” included in Item 1 of this report.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
     In connection with the development of certain of Core’s 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.

     Core’s bond financing at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 consisted of district bonds totaling $218.7 million at each of these dates with outstanding amounts of approximately $173.8 million and $170.8 million, respectively. Bond obligations at June 30, 2010 mature in 2035 and 2040. As of June 30, 2010, Core owned approximately 4% 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, 2010 and 2009, Core recorded a liability of approximately $66,000 and $158,000, respectively, in assessments on property owned by it in the districts. During the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, Core recorded a liability of approximately $225,000 and $317,000, 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 through the maturity dates of the respective bonds issued if the property is never sold. Based on Core’s approximate 91% ownership of property within the special assessment district as of June 30, 2010, it will be responsible for the payment of approximately $10 million in assessments by March 2011. If Core sells land within the special assessment district and reduces its ownership percentage, the potential payment of approximately $10 million would decrease in relation to the decrease in the ownership percentage. 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 accounting guidance 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 accounting guidance for real estate, the Company records a liability for the estimated developer obligations that are fixed and determinable and user fees that are required to be paid or transferred at the time the parcel or unit is sold to an end user. At June 30, 2010, the liability related to developer obligations associated with Core’s ownership of the property was $175,000 after the sale of Core’s commercial leasing projects in June 2010 (See Note 5 of the “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements” for information relating to the sale). At December 31, 2009, the liability related to developer obligations was $3.3 million, of which $3.1 million was included in the liabilities related to assets held for sale in the accompanying consolidated statement of financial condition as of December 31, 2009.

The timing of contractual payments for debt obligations assumes the exercise of all extensions available at our sole discretion. Debt obligations include defaulted loans totaling approximately $176.4 million as of June 30, 2010, of which repayment of the outstanding debt was accelerated by the lender and is currently being shown as immediately due and payable in less than 12 months. See Note 3 of the “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements” included in Item 1 of this report for more information regarding the defaulted loans.
 
(2)   These amounts represent scheduled principal payments.

     In addition to the above contractual obligations, we have $2.4 million in unrecognized tax benefits in accordance with accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes, which 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 each of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, Core had outstanding surety bonds of approximately $860,000, which were related primarily to its obligations to various governmental entities to construct improvements in its various communities. It is estimated that approximately $495,000 of work remains to complete these improvements and it is not currently anticipated that any outstanding surety bonds will be drawn upon.
     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 $7.6 million plus costs and expenses in accordance with the surety indemnity agreements executed by Woodbridge. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, Woodbridge had $490,000 and $527,000, respectively, in surety bond accruals 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 reimbursed the surety approximately $37,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2009, in accordance with the indemnity agreement for bond claims paid during the period, while no reimbursements were made in the six months ended June 30, 2010. In addition, no reimbursements were made in the three months ended June 30, 2010 or 2009. 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. 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 the surety bonds exposure in connection with demands made by a municipality. Woodbridge believes that the municipality does not have the right to demand payment under the bonds and Woodbridge initiated a lawsuit against the municipality. However, based on claims made on the bonds, the surety requested that Woodbridge post a $4.0 million escrow deposit while the matter is being litigated with the municipality and Woodbridge complied with that request. In August 2010, Woodbridge was granted a motion for summary judgment terminating any obligations under the bonds. It is anticipated that the municipality will seek rehearing and, if it is denied, will prosecute an appeal of the court’s decision.
Bluegreen
Bluegreen’s results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 are reported through two reportable segments which are Bluegreen Resorts and Bluegreen Communities. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, our earnings attributable to Bluegreen were reported as part of Woodbridge other operations which continues to be included in the BFC Activities segment.
     Bluegreen’s results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 reflect its continued efforts to improve its cash flows from operations by targeting higher cash from sales of VOIs by continuing to improve its selling and marketing efficiencies in its Resorts Division and by efforts to increase its cash fee-based service businesses. While its cash flows from operations and its Resorts Division segment operating margin reflects the success of these efforts, the Communities Division continued to be impacted by low consumer demand for homesites.
     During the three months ended June 30, 2010:
    The Bluegreen Communities Division generated a segment operating loss of approximately $4.1 million.
 
    Bluegreen’s fee-based service business sold $18.2 million of third-party developer inventory and earned sales and marketing commissions of $12.1 million.
 
    Bluegreen’s adoption of the amendment to the accounting guidance associated with the consolidation of VIE’s on January 1, 2010, resulted in its consolidation of seven existing special purpose financing entities that are associated with past securitization transactions. In addition to the changes to the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition (see Note 2 of the “Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements"), the consolidation of these special purpose finance entities impacted the Statement of Operations during the three months ended June 30, 2010 by increasing Bluegreen’s interest income from VOI notes receivable and increasing interest expense on notes payable, compared to prior periods.

     As discussed further under “Liquidity and Capital Resources”, Bluegreen Resorts sales and marketing operations are materially dependent on the availability of liquidity in the credit markets. Historically, Bluegreen has provided financing to a significant portion of its Bluegreen Resorts customers. Such financing typically involves the consumer making a minimum 10% cash down payment, with the balance being financed by Bluegreen over a ten-year period. As Bluegreen Resorts’ selling, general and administrative expenses typically exceed the cash down payment, Bluegreen has historically maintained credit facilities pursuant to which Bluegreen pledged or sold its consumer note receivables. Furthermore, Bluegreen also engaged in private placement term securitization transactions or similar arrangements to periodically pay down all or a portion of its note receivable credit facilities.
     There has been and continues to be an unprecedented disruption in the credit markets that has made obtaining additional and replacement external sources of liquidity more difficult and, if available, more expensive. The term securitization market continues to be limited and, as a result, Bluegreen believes that financial institutions have been and continue to be more cautious about entering into new credit facilities for the purpose of providing financing on consumer receivables. Several lenders to the timeshare industry, including certain of Bluegreen’s lenders, have announced that they will either be exiting the timeshare finance business or will not be entering into new financing commitments for the foreseeable future. In addition, financing for real estate acquisition and development and the capital markets for corporate debt have generally been unavailable to Bluegreen.
     While Bluegreen believes that the market for its Resorts product remains relatively strong, Bluegreen is continuing to deemphasize its sales operations to conserve cash because of the uncertainties in the credit markets. In an effort to conserve cash and availability under its note receivable credit facilities, Bluegreen implemented strategic initiatives which have included closing certain sales offices; eliminating what Bluegreen identified as lower-efficiency marketing programs; emphasizing cash sales and higher cash down payments as well as pursuing its cash fee-based services business; reducing overhead, including eliminating a significant number of staff positions across a variety of areas at multiple locations; reducing capital expenditures; limiting sales to borrowers who meet Bluegreen’s FICO® score-based underwriting standards; and increasing interest rates on new sales transactions for which Bluegreen provides financing. Bluegreen’s goal was, and continues to be, to limit the amount of VOI sales while increasing the ultimate profitability of the sales it makes. Additional information on Bluegreen’s strategic initiatives is provided in “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.
     Bluegreen continues to actively pursue additional credit facility capacity, capital markets transactions and alternative financing solutions, and hopes that the steps being taken will position Bluegreen to maintain its existing credit relationships as well as attract new sources of capital. Regardless of the state of the credit markets, Bluegreen believes that its resorts management and finance operations will continue to represent recurring cash-generating sources of income which do not require material liquidity support from the credit markets. Further, Bluegreen believes that it has adequate timeshare inventory to satisfy its projected sales for 2010 and, based on anticipated sales levels, for a number of years thereafter.
     While the vacation ownership business has historically been capital intensive, Bluegreen’s goal is to leverage its sales and marketing, mortgage servicing, fee-based management services, title and construction expertise to generate fee-based-service relationships with third parties that produce positive cash flows and require less capital investment. During the three months ended June 30, 2010, Bluegreen sold $18.2 million of third-party inventory and earned sales and marketing commissions of approximately $12.1 million, as well as title fees on such transactions. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, Bluegreen sold $34.0 million of third-party inventory and earned sales and marketing commissions of approximately $22.3 million, as well as title fees on such transactions. No such sales occurred for the same periods in 2009, as Bluegreen did not begin selling third party developer inventory until July 2009. Bluegreen also provides fee-based management services, resort design and development services, and mortgage services under certain of these arrangements, all for cash fees. Bluegreen intends to pursue additional fee-based service relationships, and while there is no assurance that this will be the case, Bluegreen believes that these activities will become an increasing portion of its business over time.
     Bluegreen Communities business has been, and continues to be, adversely impacted by the deterioration in the real estate markets. Demand for its homesites has decreased as well as sales volume. Bluegreen has significantly reduced prices on certain of its completed homesites in an attempt to increase sales activity and certain of its Communities’ inventories have been written down to fair value less costs to sell. There can be no assurances that future changes in Bluegreen’s intentions, expectations, or pricing will not result in future material charges or adjustments to the carrying amount of its inventory or otherwise adversely impact its results and financial condition in the future.

     Bluegreen has historically financed a majority of Bluegreen Resorts sales of VOIs, and accordingly, are subject to the risk of defaults by customers. GAAP requires that Bluegreen reduces sales of VOIs by its estimate of future uncollectible note balances on originated VOI receivables, excluding any benefit for the value of future recoveries. The provision for loan losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was approximately $7.2 million and $12.0 million, respectively, and was mainly associated with Bluegreen Resorts. The provision for loan losses attributable to Bluegreen Communities was not significant. The allowance for loan losses as of June 30, 2010 was $67.1 million.
     The deteriorating credit markets have negatively impacted Bluegreen’s financing activities. While the credit markets appear to be recovering, the number of securitization and hypothecation transactions being consummated in the market overall remains below historical levels and Bluegreen believes that those that are consummated are more difficult to effect and are generally priced at a higher cost than in prior periods. There can be no assurance that Bluegreen will be able to secure financing for its VOI notes receivable on acceptable terms, if at all.
     Since 2009 Bluegreen has renewed or extended certain of its existing credit facilities and debt maturities (See the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section for further information). In connection with such renewals and extensions, Bluegreen may, in certain cases, agree to pay higher interest rates and fees. In addition, conditions in the commercial credit markets are expected to result in an increase in interest rates on new debt Bluegreen may obtain in the future. Any such increased interest rates would increase Bluegreen’s expenses and adversely impact its results of operations.

Mortgage Servicing Operations.
     Bluegreen’s mortgage servicing operations include processing payments, and performing collections of notes receivable owned by them, as well as collecting payments on notes receivable owned by third parties. In addition, Bluegreen’s mortgage servicing operations facilitate the monetization of its VOI notes receivable through its various credit facilities, as well as perform monthly reporting activities for its lenders and receivable investors. Prior to the adoption of the amendment to the accounting guidance for the consolidation of VIEs on January 1, 2010, Bluegreen recognized servicing fee income for providing mortgage servicing for notes receivable that had been sold to off-balance sheet special purpose finance entities and for providing loan services to other third-party portfolio owners, on a cash-fee basis. Effective January 1, 2010, Bluegreen ceased recognizing servicing fee income for providing mortgage serving to its special purpose finance entities as such entities are now consolidated by Bluegreen (see Note 2 of the “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information). While Bluegreen still receives mortgage servicing fees for servicing its securitized notes receivable, those amounts are now accounted for as a component of interest income.
     During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 servicing fee income represented mortgage servicing fees earned on behalf of a third-party lender in connection with one of Bluegreen’s fee-based services arrangements. As of June 30, 2010, the total amount of notes receivable serviced by Bluegreen under this arrangement was $13.3 million.
Interest Expense on Receivable-Backed Notes Payable
     Interest expense on receivable-backed notes payable was $12.0 million and $23.7 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010. This amount reflects a higher average debt balance due to the recognition of approximately $411.4 million of non-recourse receivable-backed debt as a result of the consolidation of Bluegreen’s special purpose finance entities as of January 1, 2010. As stated above, accounting rules previously in effect required that the assets and liabilities of these special purpose finance entities be treated off-balance sheet and, accordingly, Bluegreen historically did not recognize an obligation for the receivable-backed debt of the special purpose finance entities nor did Bluegreen recognize the related interest expense on such debt.

Other Interest Expense
     Other interest expense was $4.5 million and $8.9 million, respectively for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010. Additionally, on March 30, 2010, the interest rate on the securities issued by the Bluegreen Statutory Trust (“BST”) I contractually changed from a fixed-rate of 9.160% to a variable rate equal to the 3-month LIBOR + 4.90% (5.43% as of June 30, 2010).
     Total interest expense capitalized to construction in progress was $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010. Interest expense capitalized to construction in progress varies based upon the amount of construction and development spending.
     Bluegreen’s effective cost of borrowing was 6.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2010.
     On July 30, 2010, the interest rate on the securities issued by the BST II and the BST III contractually changed from a fixed- rate of 9.158% and 9.193%, respectively, to a variable rate equal to the 3-month LIBOR + 4.85%.
Corporate General and Administrative Expenses
     Bluegreen’s corporate general and administrative expenses consist primarily of expenses associated with administering the various support functions at its corporate headquarters, including accounting, human resources, information technology, treasury, and legal. Overall corporate and general administrative costs may fluctuate between periods for various reasons, including but not limited to the timing of professional services and litigation expenses. Corporate general and administrative expenses, excluding mortgage servicing operations, were $10.0 million and $23.0 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010.
Non-controlling Interest in Income of Consolidated Subsidiary
     We include the results of operations and financial position of Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations, LLC, Bluegreen’s 51%-owned subsidiary, in our consolidated financial statements (See Note 4 of the “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements” for further information). Non-controlling interest in income of consolidated subsidiary was approximately $1.4 million and $2.9 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010.
Bluegreen’s Liquidity and Capital Resources
     Bluegreen’s primary sources of funds from internal operations are: (i) cash sales, (ii) down payments on homesite and VOI sales that are financed, (iii) proceeds from the sale of, or borrowings collateralized by, notes receivable, including cash received from its residual interests in such transactions, (iv) cash from its finance operations, including principal and interest payments received on the purchase money mortgage loans arising from sales of VOIs and homesites and mortgage servicing fees, and (v) net cash generated from its sales and marketing fee-based services and other resort services, including its resorts management operations, and other communities operations.
     Historically, Bluegreen’s business model has depended on the availability of credit in the commercial markets. VOI sales are generally dependent upon Bluegreen providing financing to its buyers. Bluegreen’s ability to sell and/or borrow against its notes receivable from VOI buyers is a critical factor in its continued liquidity. When Bluegreen sells VOIs, a financed buyer is only required to pay a minimum of 10% to 20% of the purchase price in cash at the time of sale; however, selling, marketing, and administrative expenses attributable to the sale are primarily cash expenses that generally exceed the buyer’s minimum required down-payment. Accordingly, having financing facilities available for the hypothecation, sale, or transfer of these vacation ownership receivables is a critical factor in Bluegreen’s ability to meet its short and long-term cash needs. Historically, Bluegreen has relied on its ability to sell receivables in the term securitization market in order to generate liquidity and create capacity in its receivable facilities. In addition, maintaining adequate VOI inventory to sell and pursue growth into new markets has historically required Bluegreen to incur debt for the acquisition, construction and development of new resorts. Bluegreen Communities has also historically incurred debt for the acquisition and development of its residential land communities.

Real Estate
     Since 2008, there have been unprecedented disruptions in the credit markets, which have made obtaining additional and replacing existing external sources of liquidity in the term securitization market more difficult and more costly. Financial institutions have been cautious about entering into new credit facilities for the purpose of providing financing on consumer receivables. Several lenders to the timeshare industry, including certain of Bluegreen’s lenders, have announced that they either have or will be exiting the resort finance business or will not be entering into new financing commitments for the foreseeable future. In addition, financing for real estate acquisition and development and the capital markets for corporate debt have generally been unavailable to Bluegreen on reasonable terms, if at all.
     Bluegreen has certain strategic initiatives in place with a view to better position its operations in light of the downturn in the commercial credit markets. Bluegreen intends to continue to monitor its operating results as well as the external environment in order to attempt to adjust its business to existing conditions. The ongoing goals of its strategic initiatives are designed to conserve cash and enhance its financial position, to the extent possible by:
    Maintaining a significantly reduced sales level in its Resorts’ business in an effort to match its sales pace to its liquidity and known receivable capacity;
 
    Emphasizing cash-based business in its sales, resort management and finance operations, with particular focus on growing its fee-based service business;
 
    Minimizing the cash requirements of Bluegreen Communities;
 
    Maintaining reduced levels of overhead and continuing to seek increasing efficiency;
 
    Minimizing capital spending;
 
    Working with its lenders to renew, extend, or refinance its credit facilities;
 
    Maintaining compliance under its outstanding indebtedness; and
 
    Continuing to provide what Bluegreen believes to be a high level of quality vacation experiences and customer service to its VOI owners.
     While Bluegreen believes that it has realized initial success with its strategic initiatives, there is no assurance that Bluegreen will be successful in achieving its goals.
     While the vacation ownership business has historically been capital intensive, one of Bluegreen’s principal goals in the current environment is to utilize its sales and marketing, mortgage servicing, fee-based management services, title and construction expertise to pursue fee-based-service business relationships that require low up-front capital investment and produce strong cash flows for its business.
     The advance periods of many of Bluegreen’s receivable-backed credit facilities have expired or will expire in the near term. Bluegreen intends to continue its efforts to renew and extend the advance periods under certain of its existing receivable-backed credit facilities, and to seek additional similar credit facilities, and Bluegreen believes that the implementation of its strategic initiatives has better positioned them to address these matters with its existing and future lenders; however, there is no assurance that its efforts will be successful, in which case, its liquidity would be significantly adversely impacted. Further, while Bluegreen may seek to raise additional debt or equity financing in the future to fund operations or repay outstanding debt, there is no assurance that such financing will be available to them on favorable terms or at all. In light of the current trading price of Bluegreen’s common stock, financing involving the issuance of its common stock or securities convertible into its common stock would be highly dilutive to its existing shareholders.
     Bluegreen’s levels of debt and debt service requirements have several important effects on its operations, including the following: (i) its significant cash requirements to service debt reduce the funds available for operations and future business opportunities and increase its vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions, as well as conditions in the credit markets, generally; (ii) its leverage position increases its vulnerability to economic and competitive pressures; (iii) the financial covenants and other restrictions contained in indentures, credit agreements and other agreements relating to its indebtedness requires Bluegreen to meet certain financial tests and restricts its ability to, among other things, borrow additional funds, dispose of assets, make investments, or pay cash dividends on or repurchase common stock; and (iv) its leverage position may limit funds available for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and general corporate purposes. Certain of Bluegreen’s competitors operate on a less leveraged basis and have greater operating and financial flexibility than Bluegreen has.
Credit Facilities
     The following is a discussion of Bluegreen’s material purchase and credit facilities, including those that were important sources of its liquidity as of June 30, 2010. These facilities do not constitute all of its outstanding indebtedness as of June 30, 2010. Bluegreen’s other indebtedness includes outstanding junior subordinated debentures, borrowings collateralized by real estate inventories that were not incurred pursuant to a significant credit facility, and capital leases.

(1)   Facility is revolving during the advance period, providing additional availability as the facility is paid down, subject to eligible collateral and applicable terms and conditions.
 
(2)   Interest charged on this facility is variable, subject to a floor of 5.75%.
BB&T Purchase Facility
     The amended and restated timeshare notes receivable purchase facility with Branch Banking and Trust Company (“BB&T”) (the “BB&T Purchase Facility”) provides for the sale of Bluegreen’s timeshare receivables at an advance rate of 67.5% of the principal balance up to a cumulative purchase price of $150.0 million on a revolving basis, subject to the terms of the facility, eligible collateral and other terms and conditions Bluegreen believes to be customary for facilities of this type. The BB&T Purchase Facility revolving advance period under the facility ended on June 29, 2010. On June 29, 2010, BB&T extended the revolving advance period of the facility to August 30, 2010, with any further extension being subject to BB&T’s approval. While ownership of the receivables is transferred for legal purposes, the transfers of receivables under the facility are accounted for as a financing transaction for financial accounting purposes. Accordingly, the receivables are reflected as assets and the associated obligations are reflected as liabilities on our Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition. The BB&T Purchase Facility is nonrecourse and is not guaranteed by Bluegreen.
     As of June 30, 2010, the outstanding balance of the BB&T Purchase Facility reflected a ratio of 77.9% of outstanding advances to outstanding receivables transferred to BB&T under the facility. Under the terms of the facility, Bluegreen will equally share with BB&T in the excess cash flows generated by the receivables sold (excess meaning after customary payments of fees, interest and principal under the facility) until the advance rate on the existing receivables reduces to 67.5% as the outstanding balance amortizes.
     Bluegreen has received a non-binding term sheet from BB&T for an additional one-year extension of the revolving advance period under this facility; however, there is no assurance that such extension will be obtained on favorable terms, if at all. The extension is contingent on the closing of a refinancing of a portion of the receivables currently in the BB&T Purchase Facility, and Bluegreen is in the process of documenting such refinancing. There are no assurances that such refinancing will occur as expected.
     During the six months ended June 30, 2010, Bluegreen did not pledge any VOI notes receivable to this facility. Bluegreen made repayments of $17.5 million on the facility during the first half of 2010.

Liberty Bank Facility
     Bluegreen has a $75.0 million revolving timeshare receivables hypothecation facility with a syndicate of lenders led by Liberty Bank and assembled by Wellington Financial (the “Liberty Bank Facility”). The facility provides for a 90% advance on eligible receivables pledged under the facility during a two-year period ending on August 27, 2010, subject to terms and conditions Bluegreen believes to be customary for facilities of this type. Amounts borrowed under the facility and interest incurred will be repaid as cash is collected on the pledged receivables, with the remaining balance, if any, due on August 27, 2014. As the Liberty Bank facility is revolving, availability under the facility increases up to the $75.0 million facility limit as cash is received on the VOI notes receivable collateralized under the facility and Liberty Bank is repaid through the expiration of the advance period, pursuant to the terms of the facility.
     During the six months ended June 30, 2010, Bluegreen pledged $22.9 million of VOI notes receivable to this facility and received cash proceeds of $20.6 million. Bluegreen also made repayments of $8.9 million under the facility during the first half of 2010. Bluegreen is currently in discussions with the syndicate regarding the extension of the advance period under this facility. There can be no assurance that such extension will be obtained on favorable terms, if at all.
Future Receivable Facilities
     Bluegreen is currently in the legal documentation stage with a lender for a new $20 million timeshare receivables facility. There can be no assurance that this facility will be consummated on favorable terms, or at all.
Other Outstanding Receivable-Backed Notes Payable
     Bluegreen has outstanding obligations under various receivable-backed credit facilities that have no remaining future availability as the advance periods have expired. Bluegreen had the following outstanding balances under such credit facilities as of June 30, 2010 (in thousands):

The GE Bluegreen/Big Cedar Facility
     The Bluegreen/Big Cedar Joint Venture has a $45.0 million revolving VOI receivables credit facility with GE (the “GE Bluegreen/Big Cedar Receivables Facility”). Bluegreen Corporation has guaranteed the full payment and performance of the Bluegreen/Big Cedar Joint Venture in connection with the GE Bluegreen/Big Cedar Receivables Facility. The advance period under this facility has expired and all outstanding borrowings mature no later than April 16, 2016. The facility includes affirmative, negative and financial covenants and events of default. All principal and interest payments received on pledged receivables are applied to principal and interest due under the facility. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, Bluegreen repaid $4.6 million under this facility.
The Wells Fargo Facility
     Bluegreen has a credit facility with Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC (“Wells Fargo”). Historically, Bluegreen has primarily used this facility for borrowings collateralized by the pledge of certain VOI receivables which typically have been Bluegreen’s one-year term receivables. The borrowing period for advances on eligible receivables expired on December 31, 2009, and the maturity date of all borrowings is December 31, 2010. The interest rate charged on outstanding receivable borrowings under the facility is the greater of 4.00% or the prime lending rate plus 0.50%. All principal and interest payments received on pledged receivables are applied to principal and interest due under the facility. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, Bluegreen repaid $7.1 under this facility.

Other Effective Receivable Capacity.
     Pursuant to the terms of certain of Bluegreen’s prior term securitizations and similar type transactions, Bluegreen has the ability to substitute new eligible VOI notes receivable into such facilities in the event receivables that were previously sold in such transactions default or are the subject of an owner upgrade transaction, subject to certain limitations. These substitutions result in Bluegreen receiving additional cash through its monthly distribution on its retained interest in notes receivable sold. Bluegreen intends to continue to use this receivable capacity, to the extent possible under the terms and conditions of the applicable facilities.
Credit Facilities for Bluegreen Inventories without Existing Future Availability
     Bluegreen has outstanding obligations under various credit facilities and other notes payable collateralized by its resorts or communities inventories. As of June 30, 2010 these included the following significant items (in thousands):

(2)   The maturity dates for these facilities vary by loan. The maturity dates associated with each loan are discussed below.
The GMAC AD&C Facility
     This facility was used to finance the acquisition and development of certain of Bluegreen resorts and currently has three outstanding project loans. The maturity date for the project loan collateralized by Bluegreen’s Club 36TM resort in Las Vegas, Nevada (the “Club 36 Loan”), is June 30, 2012. Approximately $65.9 million was outstanding on this loan as of June 30, 2010. Maturity dates for two project loans related to Bluegreen’s Fountains resort in Orlando, Florida (the “Fountains Loans”) are September 2010 and March 2011, with $2.8 million and $2.8 million, respectively, outstanding as of June 30, 2010. Principal payments are effected through agreed-upon release prices as timeshare interests in the resorts collateralizing the GMAC AD&C Facility are sold, subject to periodic minimum required amortization on the Club 36 Loan and the Fountains Loans. As of June 30, 2010, Bluegreen had no availability under this facility. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, Bluegreen repaid $15.9 million on this facility.

The H4BG Communities Facility
     Bluegreen has an outstanding balance under a credit facility (the “H4BG Communities Facility”) historically used to finance its Bluegreen Communities real estate acquisitions and development activities. The H4BG Communities Facility is secured by the real property homesites (and personal property related thereto) at the following Bluegreen Communities projects (the “Secured Projects”): Havenwood at Hunter’s Crossing (New Braunfels, Texas); The Bridges at Preston Crossings (Grayson County, Texas); King Oaks (College Station, Texas); Vintage Oaks at the Vineyard (New Braunfels, Texas); and Sanctuary Cove at St. Andrews Sound (Waverly, Georgia). In addition, the H4BG Communities Facility is secured by Bluegreen’s golf courses: The Bridges at Preston Crossings (Grayson County, Texas) and Sanctuary Cove (Waverly, Georgia). The period during which Bluegreen can add additional projects to the H4BG Communities Facility has expired.
     Principal payments are effected through agreed-upon release prices as real estate collateralizing the H4BG Communities Facility is sold, subject to minimum required amortization. The interest rate on the H4BG Communities Facility is the prime rate plus 2%, subject to the following floors: (1) 10% until the balance of the loan is reduced to $32.6 million, (2) 8% until the balance of the loan is less than or equal to $20 million, and (3) 6% thereafter. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, Bluegreen repaid a total of $3.2 million under this facility.
Textron AD&C Loans
     Bluegreen has two acquisition loans with Textron Financial Corporation (“Textron”) with no future borrowing capacity. The loan used to acquire and develop Bluegreen’s Odyssey Dells resort in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin (the “Odyssey Loan”), had an outstanding balance as of June 30, 2010 of approximately $6.0 million. Bluegreen pays Textron principal payments as it sells timeshare interests that collateralize the Odyssey Loan, subject to periodic minimum required principal amortization. The final maturity of outstanding borrowings under the Odyssey Loan is December 31, 2011.
     The outstanding balance on the loan used to acquire Bluegreen’s Atlantic Palace Resort in Atlantic City, New Jersey (the “Atlantic Palace Loan”) was $5.7 million as of June 30, 2010. Bluegreen pays Textron principal payments as it sells timeshare interests that collateralize the Atlantic Palace Loan, subject to periodic minimum required principal amortization. The final maturity of outstanding borrowings under the Atlantic Palace Loan is April 2013.
     Bluegreen has fully guaranteed the Textron AD&C Loans. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, Bluegreen repaid $1.1 million to Textron under these loans.
The Wells Fargo Term Loan
     On April 30, 2010, Bluegreen entered into a definitive agreement with Wells Fargo, which amended, restated and consolidated its notes payable to Wachovia and the line-of-credit issued by Wachovia into a single term loan with Wells Fargo (the “Wells Fargo Term Loan”). The notes payable and line of credit which were consolidated into the Wells Fargo Term Loan had a total outstanding balance of $36.4 million as of April 30, 2010. In connection with the closing of the Wells Fargo Term Loan, Bluegreen made a principal payment of $0.4 million, reducing the balance to $36.0 million, and paid accrued interest on the then-existing Wachovia debt. Principal payments are effected through agreed-upon release prices as real estate collateralizing the Wells Fargo Term Loan is sold, subject to minimum remaining required amortization of $4.4 million in 2010, $10.6 million in 2011 and $20.2 million in 2012. In addition to the resort projects previously pledged as collateral for the various notes payable to Wachovia, Bluegreen pledged additional timeshare interests, resorts real estate, and the residual interests in certain of its sold VOI notes receivables as collateral for the Wells Fargo Term Loan. Wells Fargo has the right to receive as additional collateral, the residual interest in one future transaction which creates such a retained interest. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, Bluegreen repaid $1.2 million on this facility.
Commitments
     Bluegreen’s material commitments as of June 30, 2010 included the required payments due on its receivable-backed debt, lines-of-credit and other notes payable, commitments to complete its Bluegreen Resorts and Communities projects based on its sales contracts with customers and commitments under noncancelable operating leases.

     Bluegreen intends to use cash flow from operations, including cash received from the sale/pledge of VOI notes receivable, and cash received from new borrowings under existing or future debt facilities in order to satisfy the principal payments required on contractual obligations. While this may not prove to be the case, Bluegreen believes that it will continue to be successful in renewing certain receivable-backed credit facilities. Based on the factors described above and the expected positive impact on Bluegreen’s financial position of the strategic initiatives implemented in the fourth quarter of 2008, Bluegreen believes that it will be in a position to meet required debt payments when it expects them to be ultimately due, however there can be no assurance that this will be the case.
     Bluegreen estimates that the cash required to complete resort buildings, resort amenities and other common costs in projects in which sales have occurred was approximately $2.6 million as of June 30, 2010. Bluegreen estimates that the cash required to complete development of communities in which sales have occurred was approximately $7.2 million as of June 30, 2010. These amounts assume that Bluegreen is not obligated to develop any building, project or amenity in which a commitment has not been made pursuant to a sales contract with a customer; however, Bluegreen anticipates that it will incur such obligations in the future. Bluegreen plans to fund these expenditures over the next three to ten years, primarily with cash generated from operations. There is no assurance that Bluegreen will be able to generate the cash from operations necessary to complete these commitments or that actual costs will not exceed the amounts estimated.
     Bluegreen believes that its existing cash, anticipated cash generated from operations, anticipated future permitted borrowings under existing or proposed credit facilities and anticipated future sales of notes receivable under the purchase facilities and one or more replacement facilities it intends to put in place will be sufficient to meet its anticipated working capital, capital expenditures and debt service requirements for the foreseeable future, subject to the successful implementation of ongoing strategic initiatives and receivable-backed credit facility extensions discussed above and the ongoing availability of credit. Bluegreen will continue its efforts to renew or replace any credit and receivables purchase facilities that have expired or that will expire in the near term. Bluegreen will, in the future, also require additional credit facilities or will be required to issue corporate debt or equity securities. Any debt incurred or issued by Bluegreen may be secured or unsecured, bear fixed or variable rate interest and may be subject to such terms as the lender may require and management believes acceptable. There can be no assurance that the credit facilities or receivables purchase facilities which have expired or which are scheduled to expire in the near term will be renewed or replaced or that sufficient funds will be available from operations or under existing, proposed or future revolving credit or other borrowing arrangements or receivables purchase facilities to meet Bluegreen’s cash needs, including its debt service obligations. To the extent Bluegreen is not able to sell notes receivable or borrow under such facilities; its ability to satisfy its obligations would be materially adversely affected.

Table of Contents

Real Estate
     Bluegreen’s credit facilities, indentures, and other outstanding debt instruments, and receivables purchase facilities include, what Bluegreen believes to be, customary conditions to funding, eligibility requirements for collateral, cross-default and other acceleration provisions, certain financial and other affirmative and negative covenants, including, among others, limits on the incurrence of indebtedness, the repurchase of securities, payment of dividends, investments in joint ventures and other restricted payments, the incurrence of liens, and transactions with affiliates, as well as covenants concerning net worth, fixed charge coverage requirements, debt-to-equity ratios, portfolio performance requirements, cash balances and events of default or termination. No assurance can be given that Bluegreen will not be required to seek waivers of such covenants, that it will be successful in obtaining waivers, or that such covenants will not limit its ability to raise funds, sell receivables, satisfy or refinance its obligations or otherwise adversely affect its operations. Further, although Bluegreen does not currently believe that any such transactions are likely to be structured so as to materially limit its ability to pay cash dividends on its common stock or its ability to repurchase shares in the near term; there is, although, no assurance this will remain true in the future. In addition, Bluegreen’s future operating performance and ability to meet its financial obligations will be subject to future economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, many of which will be beyond Bluegreen’s control.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
     Bluegreen historically monetized its notes receivables through various facilities and through periodic term securitization transactions and other similar arrangements, many of which were accounted for as sales of notes receivable under the accounting requirements in effect at the time. As discussed further in Note 2 of our Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, on January 1, 2010, Bluegreen adopted accounting rules that required it to consolidate seven existing special purpose finance entities associated with prior securitization transactions that previously qualified for off-balance sheet sales treatment. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2010, Bluegreen does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

     The Financial Services activities of BFC are comprised of the operations of BankAtlantic Bancorp and its subsidiaries. BankAtlantic Bancorp currently 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 Bancorp’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

BankAtlantic Bancorp’s Consolidated Results of Operations
     Loss from continuing operations from each of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s reportable segments was as follows (in thousands):
                         
    For the Three Months Ended June 30,  
    2010     2009     Change  
BankAtlantic
  $ (39,870 )     (24,178 )     (15,692 )

Net loss
  $ (51,250 )     (38,356 )     (12,894 )
 
                 
For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to the Same 2009 Period:
     The increase in BankAtlantic’s net loss during the 2010 second quarter compared to the same 2009 quarter primarily resulted from a $7.7 million increase in the provision for loan losses, $3.8 million of lower revenues from service charges on deposits, $1.8 million of lower securities gains and a $3.1 million decline in net interest income. The increase in BankAtlantic’s net loss was partially offset by lower non-interest expenses. The substantial increase in the provision for loan losses primarily related to our commercial real estate loan portfolios as declining real estate values and higher non-performing loans increased charge-offs and loan loss reserves. The higher commercial real estate loan loss provision was partially offset by a lower residential loan loss provision as a result of favorable delinquency and loss migration trends during the three months ended June 30, 2010. The lower revenues from service charges reflect a decline in the total number of accounts which incurred overdraft fees and a decrease in the frequency of overdrafts per deposit account. We believe that the decline in the number of accounts incurring overdraft fees is the result of both our focus on targeting customers who maintain deposit accounts with higher balances and the result of a change in customer behavior. During the three months ended June 30, 2009, BankAtlantic sold agency securities for a $2.1 million gain. There were no agency securities sold during the three months ended June 30, 2010. The decline in BankAtlantic’s net interest income primarily resulted from lower earning asset balances, higher non-performing asset balances, an increase in liquidity resulting in additional cash balances invested in low yielding investments and a $1.4 million reversal of interest income in our tax certificate portfolio associated with out-of-state tax certificate activities. The decline in earning assets was the result of lower loan originations and purchases, reduced acquisitions of tax certificates and sales of agency securities since the second quarter of 2009. The improvement in BankAtlantic’s non-interest expenses during the second quarter of 2010 compared to the same 2009 period reflects lower compensation and occupancy expenses associated with efforts to increase operating efficiencies and non-recurrence of $1.4 million of higher costs associated with debt redemptions in the 2009 quarter as well as a $2.4 million FDIC special assessment during the three months ended June 30, 2009. The above improvements in non-interest expenses were partially offset by $1.7 million in impairments associated with properties acquired for branch expansion as well as higher professional fees associated with class-action securities lawsuits, litigation related to the tax certificate line of business, and higher non-performing asset balances.

(BankAtlantic Bancorp)
     The decrease in BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company’s loss for the 2010 quarter compared to the same 2009 quarter resulted from a $2.6 million decline in the provision for loan losses and a $1.4 million improvement in securities activities partially offset by losses on sale of and impairments on real estate owned. The $2.6 million improvement in the provision for loan losses reflects lower charge-offs associated with the loans transferred from BankAtlantic to an asset work-out subsidiary of BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company in March 2008. The securities activities loss during the three months ended June 30, 2009 resulted from a $1.3 million other than temporary impairment of an equity security. There were no impairments on equity securities recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2010. During the three months ended June 30, 2010, BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company sold certain real estate owned property for a $0.6 million loss and recorded $0.7 million of write-downs on real estate owned due to declining property values subsequent to foreclosure.

For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to the Same 2009 Period:
     The decrease in BankAtlantic’s net loss during the 2010 period compared to the same 2009 period primarily resulted from a $20.5 million reduction in non-interest expenses partially offset by a decline in net interest income of $5.4 million, $7.5 million of lower revenues from service charges on deposits and a $2.9 million decline in securities activities, net. The improvement in non-interest expense reflects a $9.2 million goodwill impairment charge during the 2009 period with no goodwill impairment charges during the 2010 period. Additionally, the improvement in non-interest expenses since the 2009 period reflects reduced operating expenses associated with operating expense initiatives, which included a $4.4 million improvement in employee compensation and benefits expense and consolidation of certain back-office facilities.
     The decrease in BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company’s net loss primarily resulted from the same items discussed above for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same 2009 period, as the provision for loan losses declined $4.7 million in the six month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same 2009 period.
     During the 2009 quarter, BankAtlantic Bancorp recognized $4.2 million of earnings in discontinued operations relating to additional Ryan Beck contingent earn-out payments under the Ryan Beck merger agreement with Stifel. The earn-out period ended on February 28, 2009.

For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to the Same 2009 Period:
     The decrease in net interest income primarily resulted from a significant reduction in earning assets, interest reversals on tax certificates, and an increase in additional cash balances invested in low yielding investments partially offset by an improvement in the net interest spread and margin driven by lower deposit and funding costs.
     The decline in average earning assets reflects a management decision to slow the origination and purchase of loans, sell agency securities and reduce the purchase of tax certificates in an effort to enhance liquidity and improve regulatory capital ratios. BankAtlantic also experienced significant residential loan repayments due to normal loan amortization as well as a significant amount of loan refinancings associated with low residential mortgage interest rates during 2009 and the first six months of 2010. As a consequence, the average balance of earning assets declined by $714.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same 2009 period. This decline in interest earning assets significantly reduced our net interest income.

     The net interest spread and margin improved due to a change in our interest bearing liability funding mix. BankAtlantic used the funds from the reduction in assets and deposit growth to repay FHLB advances and short term wholesale borrowings. As a result, BankAtlantic’s funding mix changed from higher rate FHLB advances to lower rate deposits which resulted in a substantial reduction in BankAtlantic’s cost of funds. While the average FHLB advances were $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, the outstanding balance of FHLB advances was $115 million at June 30, 2010. The FHLB advances outstanding at June 30, 2010 were repaid in July 2010.
     Also contributing to the reduction in BankAtlantic’s cost of funds was runoff of higher cost certificate of deposit balances and substantial declines in deposit interest rates in the industry. This improvement in the cost of funds was partially offset by interest earning asset yield declines and significantly increased balances in low yielding investments. The decline in average yields on loans reflects lower interest rates during 2010 compared to 2009 and higher non-performing loan balances. Investments primarily consisted of agency mortgage-backed securities, interest bearing deposits at the Federal Reserve Bank and tax certificates. The significant decline in investment yields during the 2010 second quarter compared to the 2009 second quarter resulted from the reversal of $1.4 million of accrued interest income on tax certificates primarily relating to unfavorable court rulings reducing statutory interest rates on certain out-of-state tax certificates and an increase of approximately $200 million in cash balances invested in accounts yielding approximately 25 basis points. The net interest spread and margin were favorably impacted by a significant increase in transaction accounts with a corresponding reduction in certificate of deposit accounts. A portion of maturing certificates of deposit accounts either transferred to transaction accounts or renewed at substantially lower interest rates. The higher transaction account balances reflect the migration of retail certificate of deposit accounts to transaction accounts and new customer accounts. Transaction account growth was also favorably impacted by a shift in our sales and marketing strategy to target potential customers who maintain higher deposit balances.

For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to the Same 2009 Period:
     The decrease in net interest income was primarily the result of the items discussed above for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same 2009 period. The lower net interest income during the 2010 period compared to the same 2009 period primarily resulted from a significant decline in earning assets partially offset by improvements in the net interest spread and the net interest margin as interest rates on interest-bearing liabilities declined more than yields on interest-earning assets. The significant decline in interest rates on interest-bearing liabilities reflects lower deposit interest rates for the 2010 period compared to the 2009 period as well as a shift in our funding mix. During 2010, our deposit funding mix shifted from higher cost certificates of deposit to lower cost transaction accounts. Additionally, proceeds from the decline in earning assets were utilized to repay FHLB advance borrowings which further reduced our cost of funds during the 2010 period.

     During the three months ended June 30, 2010, BankAtlantic recognized $6.4 million and $2.8 million of charge-offs related to builder land bank loans and land acquisition and development loans, respectively. The remaining $4.9 million of commercial real estate loan charge-offs were primarily associated with commercial non-residential loans. During the three months ended June 30, 2009, BankAtlantic recognized $2.0 million and $4.0 million of charge-offs related to builder land bank loans and land acquisition and development loans, respectively. The remaining charge-offs were related to non-residential and multi-family loans.
     During the six months ended June 30, 2010, BankAtlantic recognized an additional $13.5 million of charge-offs related to builder land bank loans that were sold to unrelated third parties. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2010 BankAtlantic recognized a $3.4 million charge-off on a $20 million residential land acquisition and development loan upon the sale of our participation interest at a discount to the lead lender. Commercial residential loans continue to constitute the majority of non-performing commercial real estate loans; however, BankAtlantic is experiencing certain unfavorable credit quality 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 future periods.
     The increase in the provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same 2009 period primarily resulted from an increase in non-accrual commercial real estate loans and related additional allowance for loan losses associated with those loans and further increases in specific valuation allowances associated with updated valuations.

     The decline in the provision for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same 2009 period reflect lower loan portfolio balances and an improvement in residential loan delinquency and loss migration trends during the six months ended June 30, 2010.
     The unemployment rates nationally and in Florida were 9.5% and 11.4%, respectively, at June 30, 2010. There is no assurance that the credit quality of our loan portfolio will improve in subsequent periods and if general economic conditions do not improve in Florida and nationwide, the credit quality of our loan portfolio may continue to deteriorate and additional provisions for loan losses will be required.

(1)   Includes $39.2 million and $41.3 million of interest-only residential loans as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.
 
(2)   Includes $60.1 million and $45.7 million of troubled debt restructured loans as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.
 
(3)   The majority of these loans have matured and the borrower continues to make payments under the matured loan agreement or the loan has sufficient collateral that we believe is sufficient to prevent a loss.
 
(4)   BankAtlantic believes that it will ultimately collect the principal and interest associated with these loans.
     Non-performing assets were higher at June 30, 2010 compared to December 31, 2009 primarily due to a $76.7 million increase in non-accrual loans and a $9.6 million increase in real estate owned.
     The increase in non-accrual loans at June 30, 2010 compared to December 31, 2009 primarily resulted from a substantial increase in commercial real estate non-accrual loans. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, BankAtlantic transferred $6.9 million of loans to real estate owned, placed $125.0 million of loans on non-accrual, charged-off $35.5 million of loans, moved $10.0 million of loans to accruing and received $10.6 million of proceeds from the sale of loans and short sales. Commercial loans transferred to non-accrual were primarily collateralized by non-residential properties. At June 30, 2010, $43.6 million of non-accrual commercial real estate loans were current as to their payment terms. However, there is no assurance that these loans will subsequently return to an accruing status or that the borrowers will continue to make timely payments, if at all.

     The increase in residential non-accrual loans was primarily the result of a prolonged foreclosure process. Residential loan delinquencies excluding non-accrual loans have declined from $26.7 million at December 31, 2009 to $18.5 million at June 30, 2010; however, the foreclosure processes vary by state and can currently take more than 15 months to complete. We believe that the lower delinquencies excluding non-accrual loans may result in lower new non-accrual residential loan balances in the future; however, we anticipate higher residential real estate owned balances in subsequent periods as these non-accrual loans continue through the foreclosure process.
     During the six months ended June 30, 2010, BankAtlantic has experienced increased delinquencies and charge-offs associated with its small business loan portfolio. These adverse trends have resulted in increased non-accrual small business loans as the adverse economic conditions in Florida have impacted our borrowers’ ability to perform under the terms of their loan agreements. If these adverse trends continue in subsequent periods, we may experience an increase in charge-offs and non-accrual small business loans.
     The allowance for tax certificate losses at June 30, 2010 compared to December 2009 reflects the impact of adverse real estate market conditions on our out-of-state tax certificate portfolio.
     The higher balance of repossessed assets at June 30, 2010 compared to December 31, 2009 reflects foreclosures of commercial real estate and residential loans. BankAtlantic attempts to modify loans to credit-worthy borrowers; however, the majority of BankAtlantic’s non-accrual commercial real estate loans are collateral dependent which leaves BankAtlantic few viable options other than initiating the foreclosure process. As non-accrual loans migrate into repossessed assets in the future, we expect repossessed assets to increase.
     BankAtlantic’s potential problem loans at June 30, 2010 increased compared to December 31, 2009 primarily due to an increase in commercial real estate troubled debt restructured loans. In response to current market conditions, BankAtlantic decided, on a case-by-case basis, to modify loans for certain borrowers experiencing financial difficulties and has modified the terms of certain commercial, small business, residential and consumer home equity loans during the six months ended June 30, 2010. Generally, the concessions made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties may include a variety of modifications, including among others the reduction of contractual interest rates, forgiveness of loan principal upon satisfactory performance under the modified terms, conversion of amortizing loans to interest only payments or the deferral of some interest payments to the maturity date of the loan. Loans that are not delinquent at the date of modification are generally not placed on non-accrual. Modified non-accrual loans are generally not returned to an accruing status and BankAtlantic does not reset days past due on delinquent modified loans until the borrower demonstrates a sustained period of performance under the modified terms, which is generally performance over a six month period. As a consequence, BankAtlantic at June 30, 2010 had approximately $19.9 million of such modified loans classified as non-accrual that were current under the modified payment terms. However, there is no assurance that the modification of loans will result in increased collections from the borrower or that modified loans which return to an accruing status will not subsequently return to non-accrual status.

     The increase in the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2010 compared to December 31, 2009 primarily resulted from the establishment of specific valuation allowances on commercial real estate and commercial business loans due to the deteriorating financial condition of certain of our borrowers resulting in greater reliance on declining underlying collateral values. The increase in the small business allowance primarily reflected higher general allowances due to unfavorable delinquency trends and an increase in specific reserves associated with impaired loans. The increase in the allowance for commercial and small business loans was partially offset by a decline in the residential and consumer allowance for loan losses. The decline in the consumer allowance reflects lower loan balances, the improvement of delinquency trends excluding non-accruals, and improvements in early-stage delinquency migration from one payment delinquent to two payments delinquent. The reduction in the residential loan allowance for loan losses was primarily due to lower loan balances, improvements in delinquency rates excluding non-accruals, improvements in early-stage delinquency migration, and lower historical loss experience during the six months ended June 30, 2010.

     The lower revenues from service charges on deposits during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same 2009 periods primarily resulted from lower overdraft fee income. This decrease in overdraft fee income reflects a decline in the total number of accounts which incurred overdraft fees and a decrease in the frequency of overdrafts per deposit account. We believe that the decline in the number of accounts incurring overdraft fees reflected both our focus on targeting customers who maintain deposit accounts with higher balances and the result of a change in customer behavior. The Federal Reserve adopted new overdraft rules (effective July 1, 2010 for new customers and August 15, 2010 for existing customers), which among other requirements, prohibit banks from automatically enrolling customers in overdraft protection programs. Additionally, Congress has established a consumer protection agency which may further limit the assessment of overdraft fees. We anticipate that these events will result in further declines in our overdraft fee income in future periods.
     The decline in other service charges and fees during the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same 2009 period was primarily due to higher incentive fees received from our third party vendor during the 2009 quarter. This reduction in incentive fee income was partially offset by an increase in interchange income based, we believe, on increased spending by our customers.
     During the three months ended June 30, 2010 BankAtlantic entered into a foreign currency derivative contract as an economic hedge of foreign currency in cruise ship ATMs and recognized a $0.3 million gain on the contract. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, BankAtlantic sold $47.1 million of agency securities for a $3.1 million gain. The net proceeds of $43.8 million from the sales were used to pay down FHLB advance borrowings.

     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.
     Income from unconsolidated companies during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 represented equity earnings from a joint venture that engages in accounts receivable factoring. The factoring joint venture was consolidated as of January 1, 2010 upon the implementation of new accounting guidance for the consolidation of variable interest entities. BankAtlantic Bancorp has restricted the funding of the factoring joint venture to a maximum of $10 million.
     The decline in other non-interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same 2009 periods was primarily the result of $0.7 million foreign currency unrealized exchange loss associated with foreign currency in cruise ship ATMs. The foreign currency unrealized exchange loss was partially offset by the $0.3 million gain on the derivative contract mentioned above in securities activities, net.

     The decline in employee compensation and benefits during the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same 2009 period resulted primarily from a decline in the workforce and lower employee benefit costs. Benefit costs, primarily health insurance and pension costs, were $0.9 million lower during the 2010 quarter compared to the 2009 quarter. BankAtlantic experienced lower health insurance claims during the 2010 quarter. Additionally, costs declined during the 2010 quarter due to the discontinuation of the 401(k) Plan employee match in April 2009 and lower pension expenses due to the appreciation of pension assets during the year ended December 31, 2009.
     The substantial decline in employee compensation and benefits during the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same 2009 period resulted primarily from a decline in the workforce, including a reduction of 130 associates, or 7%, in March 2009. As a consequence of the work force reduction and attrition, the number of full-time equivalent employees declined from 1,770 at December 31, 2008 to 1,492 at June 30, 2010, or a 19% reduction.
     The decline in occupancy and equipment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same 2009 periods primarily resulted from the consolidation of back-office facilities and lower depreciation and rent expense. Depreciation expense declined by $0.5 million and building maintenance, rent expense and utilities declined by $0.6 million during the 2010 quarter compared to the same 2009 period. Depreciation expense declined by $1.1 million and building maintenance, rent expense and utilities declined by $1.2 million during the 2010 six month period compared to the same 2009 period.

     BankAtlantic’s advertising and business promotion expense during the 2010 quarter remained at the 2009 period levels. Direct mail advertising and advertising postage declined by $0.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same 2009 period as the marketing strategy focused less on direct mail advertising and more on enhancing customer relationships.
     The higher professional fees during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same 2009 periods primarily resulted from legal and related costs in connection with the class-action securities litigation and secondarily from legal costs associated with tax certificate activities litigation, loan modifications and loan work-outs. Legal expenses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 were partially offset by $1.4 million and $3.1 million, respectively, of insurance reimbursements in connection with the class action securities litigation. During 2010, litigation costs on certain cases exceeded the deductible under our director and officer liability insurance and we began receiving eligible cost reimbursements from by the insurance carrier. Insurance claim reimbursements are recognized as a reduction to legal fees when the claim is approved the insurance carrier. The claims under our director and officer liability insurance are on-going and we expect to receive partial reimbursement for litigation costs associated with the pending securities litigation in future periods.
     The lower check losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same 2009 periods were primarily related to decreases in customer overdrafts, lower volume of new accounts as well as more stringent overdraft policies.
     The costs associated with debt redemptions during the three months ended June 30, 2010 resulted from the prepayment of a $2 million FHLB advance obligation. During the six months ended June 30, 2010 BankAtlantic prepaid a $0.7 million mortgage-backed bond that was scheduled to mature in September 2013.
     The costs associated with debt redemptions during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 were the result of prepayment penalties incurred upon the prepayment of $276.4 million and $526.0 million, respectively, of FHLB advances.
     The provision for tax certificates losses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 reflects charge-offs and increases in tax certificate reserves for certain legacy out-of-state certificates in distressed markets. We have significantly reduced the acquisition of out-of-state tax certificates and concentrate the majority of our tax certificate acquisitions in Florida.
     The restructuring charge for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 primarily 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 March 2009 workforce reduction discussed above.
     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 six months ended June 30, 2009. BankAtlantic had remaining goodwill of $13.1 million relating to its capital services reporting unit included in its statement of condition as of June 30, 2010. If market conditions do not improve or deteriorate further, BankAtlantic may incur additional goodwill impairment charges in future 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. BankAtlantic’s portion of the FDIC depository institution special assessment was $2.4 million.
     The increase in other non-interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same 2009 periods related to a $1.2 million loss on the sale of a real estate project. Additionally, BankAtlantic incurred higher property maintenance costs associated with real estate owned and non-performing loans during the 2010 period compared to the same 2009 periods.
     Management continuously reviews non-interest expenses with a view to improving operating efficiencies.

     In July 2010, BankAtlantic reduced its workforce by approximately 7%. It is expected that the workforce reduction will reduce annual compensation expense by approximately $8 to $10 million. In the third quarter of 2010, BankAtlantic also engaged a consulting firm to assist management in improving processes.
     In August 2010, BankAtlantic announced that, due to the rapidly changing environment in Florida and the banking industry, it has decided to focus on its core markets in South Florida and BankAtlantic began seeking a buyer for its Tampa operations. BankAtlantic’s Tampa operations include 19 branches and approximately $400 million in deposits. BankAtlantic has engaged an investment banking firm to assist it in selling the Tampa operations. It is anticipated that the sale of the Tampa operations will reduce non-interest expenses by approximately $15 to $20 million.
     Management’s focus on reducing expenses and increasing operating efficiencies is on-going and BankAtlantic anticipates further expense reductions and operating improvement initiatives during 2010; however, there is no assurance that BankAtlantic will be successful in these efforts.

     Net interest expense declined during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same 2009 period as a result of lower average interest rates during the 2010 period partially offset by higher debenture average balances. Average rates on junior subordinated debentures decreased from 5.39% and 5.49% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 to 4.69% and 4.65% during the same 2010 periods reflecting lower LIBOR interest rates during the 2010 periods compared to the 2009 periods. The average balances on junior subordinated debentures increased from $294 million and $296 million during the 2009 periods to $312 million and $311 million during the 2010 periods. The increase in average debenture balances resulted from the deferral of interest which began in March 2009. Also included in net interest expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was $59,000 and $114,000 respectively, of interest income on two performing loans aggregating $3.4 million and $22,000 and $45,000 of interest income from investments. Net interest expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 included $162,000 and $234,000, respectively, of interest income on the two performing loans and $34,000 and $171,000, respectively, of interest income from investments.
     Non-interest income during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010 reflects $249,000 and $490,000, respectively, of fees for executive services provided to BankAtlantic and the remaining non-interest income for the periods was equity earnings from BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company’s investment in statutory business trusts that issue trust preferred securities.
     Non-interest income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 included a $1.4 million other—than- temporary decline in value of an investment in an unrelated financial institution and a $120,000 gain on the sale of 250,233 shares of Stifel common stock received in connection with the contingent earn-out payment from the sale of Ryan Beck. Income from executive services provided to BankAtlantic was $281,000 and $497,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and the remaining non-interest income for the periods was equity earnings from BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company’s investment in statutory business trusts that issue trust preferred securities.

     The increase in non-interest expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same 2009 periods primarily related to a $0.6 million loss on the sale of an REO property and $0.7 million write-downs of REO during the second quarter of 2010.
     In March 2008, BankAtlantic transferred non-performing loans to a work-out subsidiary of BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company. The composition of these loans as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was as follows (in thousands):

     During the six months ended June 30, 2010, BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company foreclosed on a $5.2 million land acquisition, development and construction loan, and a $7.9 million builder land bank loan. The properties obtained from the two foreclosures were sold for cash proceeds of $9.8 million. The work-out subsidiary also received $0.3 million from loan principal repayments during the six month period, and recognized $10.0 million of charge-offs. Specific valuation allowances of $8.5 million were established on the above loans in prior periods.
     BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company’s non-accrual loans include large loan balance lending relationships. Three relationships account for 63% of its $24.4 million of non-accrual loans as of June 30, 2010.

     The loans that comprise the above relationships are all collateral dependent. As such, we established specific reserves or recognized partial charge-offs on these loans based on the fair value of the underlying collateral less costs to sell. The fair value of the collateral was determined using third party appraisals for all relationships. Management performs quarterly impairment analyses on these credit relationships subsequent to the date of the appraisal and may reduce appraised values if market conditions significantly deteriorate subsequent to the appraisal date. However, our policy is to obtain a full appraisal within one year from the date of the prior appraisal, unless the loan is in the process of foreclosure. A full appraisal is generally obtained at the date of foreclosure.

     The $5.7 million of charge-offs during the three months ended June 30, 2010 related to one builder land bank loan. A specific reserve of $2.9 million was established on this loan during prior periods. The remaining charge-offs during the six months ended June 30, 2010 primarily related to two loans. One loan was charged-down $2.7 million upon the foreclosure and sale of the collateral. The other loan’s entire balance of $1.2 million was charged-off upon the sale of the remaining collateral. BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company established specific reserves of $5.7 million on these two loans in prior periods.
     During the three months ended June 30, 2009, BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company’s work-out subsidiary foreclosed on two loans and recorded $3.9 million of charge-offs. Additionally, during the three months ended June 30, 2009 BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company’s work-out subsidiary specific valuation allowance was increased $3.7 million associated with a decline in the values of collateral on non-performing loans. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company recognized a $0.7 million charge-off associated with a foreclosure.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. Liquidity and Capital Resources
     Currently, BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company’s principal source of liquidity is its cash and funds obtained from its wholly-owned work-out subsidiary. BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company also may obtain funds through dividends, and issuance of equity and debt securities, although no dividends from BankAtlantic are anticipated or contemplated in the foreseeable future. BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company has historically used 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. At June 30, 2010, BankAtlantic Bancorp had approximately $315.2 million of junior subordinated debentures outstanding with maturities ranging from 2032 through 2037. The aggregate annual interest obligations on this indebtedness totaled approximately $14.2 million based on interest rates at June 30, 2010 and are generally indexed to three-month LIBOR. In order to preserve liquidity in the current economic environment, BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company elected in February 2009 to commence deferring interest payments on all of its outstanding junior subordinated debentures and to cease paying cash dividends on its common stock. The terms of the junior subordinated debentures and the trust documents allow BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company to defer payments of interest for up to 20 consecutive quarterly periods without default or penalty. During the deferral period, the respective trusts have suspended 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 $21.0 million that would otherwise have been paid during the

(BankAtlantic Bancorp)
eighteen months ended June 30, 2010 were deferred. BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent 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 BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company will continue to record the interest expense associated with the junior subordinated debentures. During the deferral period, BankAtlantic Bancorp 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. BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company may end the deferral by paying all accrued and unpaid interest. BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent 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. If BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company continues to defer interest on its junior subordinated debentures through the year ended December 31, 2013, it will owe an aggregate of approximately $72.6 million of unpaid interest based on average interest rates as of June 30, 2010. BankAtlantic Bancorp’s financial condition and liquidity could be adversely affected if interest payments were deferred for a prolonged time period.
     During the year ended December 31, 2009 and during the six months ended June 30, 2010, BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company did not receive dividends from BankAtlantic. The ability of BankAtlantic to pay dividends or make other distributions to BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company in subsequent periods is subject to regulations and Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”) approval and is based upon BankAtlantic’s regulatory capital levels and net income. Because BankAtlantic has an accumulated deficit during the prior two years, BankAtlantic is required to file an application to receive approval of the OTS in order to pay dividends to BankAtlantic Bancorp. 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 will approve future capital distributions from BankAtlantic. BankAtlantic has not filed an application with the OTS for approval to pay a dividend since September 2008 and BankAtlantic Bancorp does not expect to receive cash dividends from BankAtlantic during 2010, and possibly longer. However, BankAtlantic Bancorp may receive dividends from its asset work-out subsidiary upon the monetizing of the subsidiaries’ non-performing loans. There is no assurance that BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company will be able to monetize the loans on acceptable terms, if at all.
     In February 2010, BankAtlantic Bancorp filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission registering to offer, from time to time, up to $75 million of Class A common stock, preferred stock, subscription rights, warrants or debt securities. A description of the securities offered and the expected use of the net proceeds from any sales will be outlined in a prospectus supplement if and when offered.
     On June 18, 2010 a prospectus supplement was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to a $25 million rights offering to BankAtlantic Bancorp’s shareholders. BankAtlantic Bancorp distributed to each holder of record who owned shares of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock on June 14, 2010 non-transferable subscription rights to purchase 0.327 shares of Class A common stock for each share of Class A and Class B common stock owned on that date. The rights offering was for an aggregate amount of $25 million with a subscription price of $1.50 per share. Shareholders who exercised their basic subscription rights in full were given the opportunity to request to purchase additional shares of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s Class A common stock that were not subscribed for in the rights offering.
     During June 2010, BFC exercised its basic subscription rights, in full, amounting to 5,986,865 shares, and requested to purchase an additional 4,013,135 shares of Class A common stock to the extent available. In connection with the exercise of its subscription rights, BFC delivered to BankAtlantic Bancorp $15.0 million in cash, which represented the full purchase price for all of the shares subscribed for by BFC. In exchange, BankAtlantic Bancorp issued to BFC 4,697,184 shares of Class A common stock, which represented substantially all of its basic subscription rights exercise, (less only rights relating to shares held in street name) and delivered to BFC an $8.0 million promissory note for the balance of the funds received. The promissory note had a scheduled maturity of July 30, 2010 and was payable in cash or shares of Class A common stock issuable to BFC in connection with its exercise of subscription rights in the rights offering. The $7.0 million of proceeds relating to the shares of Class A common stock issued to BFC in June 2010 were included in stockholders’ equity in BankAtlantic Bancorp’s statement of financial condition as of June 30, 2010. The promissory note was included in short-term borrowings in BankAtlantic Bancorp’s statement of financial condition as of June 30, 2010. The delivery of funds by BFC directly to BankAtlantic Bancorp in connection with the exercise of its subscription rights enabled BankAtlantic Bancorp to contribute the $15.0 million of proceeds from the promissory note and the issuance of Class A common stock to BankAtlantic as a capital contribution prior to the end of the 2010 second quarter.

     In July 2010 in connection with the completion of the rights offering, BankAtlantic Bancorp satisfied the promissory note due to BFC in accordance with its terms by issuing to BFC the additional 5,302,816 shares of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s Class A common stock subscribed for by BFC in the rights offering.
     The rights offering was completed on July 20, 2010 with BankAtlantic Bancorp issuing an aggregate of 13,340,379 shares of Class A common stock for net proceeds of approximately $20 million, including 10,000,000 shares issued to BFC.
     During January 2010, BankAtlantic Bancorp commenced cash offers to purchase all outstanding trust preferred securities having an aggregate principal amount of approximately $285 million at a purchase price of $200 per $1,000 liquidation amount, or an aggregate of $57 million. During February 2010, the offer to purchase with respect to the approximate $55 million of publicly traded trust preferred securities issued by BBC Capital Trust II expired without any such trust preferred securities being repurchased, while the expiration date for the offers to purchase relating to the remaining $230 million of trust preferred securities was extended, most recently until September 30, 2010. On May 21, 2010, BankAtlantic Bancorp increased the purchase price for each Offer to $600 cash per $1,000 in principal amount of each series of the TruPS, which will be an aggregate amount of $138 million if all the TruPS are purchased. BankAtlantic Bancorp has been advised that consents were received from the holders of in excess of 66 2/3% of the most-senior classes of notes issued by Preferred Term Securities IX, Inc. (“PreTSL IX”). The consents directed the trustee of PreTSL IX, The Bank of New York Mellon, to accept the offer for $25.2 million aggregate principal amount of the Fixed/Floating Rate Capital Securities of BBC Capital Statutory Trust X (the “BBC X TruPS”) held by PreTSL IX (the “offer”). The Bank of New York Mellon advised BankAtlantic Bancorp that it will not accept the offer made to PreTSL IX without receiving a greater percentage of consents. We disagree with The Bank of New York Mellon’s interpretation and believe that the consents received exceeded the threshold required by the indenture of PreTSL IX to authorize the trustee to accept the offer made to PreTSL IX. We filed a lawsuit in the Circuit Court in Broward County, Florida seeking a declaratory judgment and order from the Court directing The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee, and without any liability to the holders of any class of notes issued by PreTSL IX, to act on the direction received. We are continuing to solicit consents in accordance with the terms of the offers and will pursue the declaratory judgment action. The offers to purchase are conditioned upon acceptance of the offers and upon BankAtlantic Bancorp’s receipt of proceeds from a financing transaction in amounts sufficient to purchase the trust preferred securities tendered. There is no assurance that we will succeed in the litigation, or be in a position to consummate the offer made to PreTSL IX or any other offers in accordance with and subject to the terms of the offers.
     During the six months ended June 30, 2010, BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company contributed $28 million of capital to BankAtlantic and during the year ended December 31, 2009, BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company contributed $105 million of capital to BankAtlantic.
     BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company is required to provide BankAtlantic with managerial assistance and capital as the OTS may determine necessary under applicable regulations and supervisory standards. Any such financing would be sought through public or private offerings, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Additionally, we could pursue financings at BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company level or directly at BankAtlantic or both. Any 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 non-performing loans transferred to the wholly-owned subsidiary of BankAtlantic Bancorp 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 and real estate owned at June 30, 2010 was $37.1 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company received net cash flows of $9.4 million from its work-out subsidiary.
BankAtlantic Liquidity and Capital Resources
     BankAtlantic’s 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 BankAtlantic Bancorp 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. BankAtlantic’s liquidity will depend on its ability to generate sufficient cash to support loan demand, to meet deposit withdrawals, and to pay operating expenses. BankAtlantic’s securities portfolio provides an internal source of liquidity through its short-term investments as well as scheduled maturities and interest payments. Loan repayments and loan sales also provide an internal source of liquidity. BankAtlantic’s liquidity is also dependent, in part, on its ability to maintain or increase deposit levels and availability under lines of credit and Treasury and Federal Reserve lending programs. BankAtlantic’s ability to increase or maintain deposits is impacted by competition from other financial institutions and alternative investments as well as the current low interest rate environment. Such competition or an increase in interest rates may require BankAtlantic to offer higher interest rates to maintain or grow deposits, which may not be successful in generating deposits, and which would increase its cost of funds or reduce its net interest income. Additionally, BankAtlantic’s current lines of credit may not be available when needed as these lines of credit are subject to periodic review and may be terminated or reduced at the discretion of the issuing institutions or reduced based on availability of qualifying collateral. BankAtlantic’s unused lines of credit declined from $760 million as of December 31, 2009 to $597 million as of June 30, 2010 due to reductions in available collateral resulting from the sale of mortgage-backed securities and lower loan balances. Additionally, interest rate changes, additional collateral requirements, disruptions in the capital markets or deterioration in BankAtlantic’s 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 borrowing capacity from funding sources may decrease.
     In July 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act was signed into law permanently raising the maximum standard deposit insurance amount to $250,000 per depositor, for each account ownership category as defined by the FDIC. In addition to this standard insurance coverage, the FDIC has announced that participating depository institutions may 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 was scheduled to expire at December 31, 2010; however, the Act extended the program until December 31, 2012. BankAtlantic ‘opted-in’ to the additional coverage on the subject deposits. As a result, BankAtlantic is assessed a 15-basis point surcharge for non-interest bearing deposit transaction account balances exceeding the insured amount.

     The FHLB has granted BankAtlantic a line of credit capped at 30% of assets subject to available collateral, with a maximum term of ten years. BankAtlantic utilized its FHLB line of credit to borrow $115 million and to obtain a $252 million letter of credit securing public deposits as of June 30, 2010. The line of credit is secured by a blanket lien on BankAtlantic’s residential mortgage loans and certain commercial real estate and consumer home equity loans. BankAtlantic’s unused available borrowings under this line of credit were approximately $588 million at June 30, 2010. An additional source of liquidity for BankAtlantic is its securities portfolio. As of June 30, 2010, BankAtlantic had $191 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 $4 million in funding and at June 30, 2010, BankAtlantic had $2.1 million of short-term borrowings outstanding under this program. BankAtlantic is also eligible to participate in the Federal Reserve’s 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 $9 million as of June 30, 2010, with no amounts outstanding under this program at June 30, 2010. The above lines of credit are subject to periodic review and any of the above borrowings may be limited, or may not be available to us at all or additional collateral could be required, in which case BankAtlantic’s liquidity would 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. BankAtlantic does not anticipate that its brokered deposit balances will increase significantly in the foreseeable future. At June 30, 2010, BankAtlantic had $25.3 million and $24.7 million of brokered deposits and securities sold under agreements to repurchase outstanding, representing 0.5% 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 $454.7 million as of June 30, 2010.
     BankAtlantic’s 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 adverse 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. BankAtlantic has improved its liquidity position during the six months ended June 30, 2010 by reducing assets, increasing deposits, and paying down borrowings.
     BankAtlantic’s commitments to originate loans were $30.1 million at June 30, 2010 compared to $76.5 million at June 30, 2009. At June 30, 2010, total loan commitments represented approximately 0.89% of net loans receivable. BankAtlantic had no commitments to purchase loans at June 30, 2010 or June 30, 2009.
     At June 30, 2010, BankAtlantic had mortgage-backed securities of approximately $21.2 million pledged to secure securities sold under agreements to repurchase, $5.5 million pledged to secure public deposits, and $2.9 million pledged to secure treasury tax and loan accounts and potential borrowings at the Federal Reserve discount window.

     Savings institutions are also subject to the provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”). Regulations implementing the prompt corrective action provisions of FDICIA define specific capital categories based on FDICIA’s defined capital ratios, as discussed more fully in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
     The OTS at its discretion can require an institution to maintain capital amounts and ratios significantly above the “well capitalized” requirements based on the risk profile of the specific institution. If higher capital requirements are imposed by the OTS, BankAtlantic could be required to raise additional capital. There is no assurance that BankAtlantic or BankAtlantic Bancorp would be successful in raising additional capital in subsequent periods and the inability to raise capital, if required to do so, could have a material adverse impact on BankAtlantic Bancorp’s business, results of operations and financial condition.
     BankAtlantic works closely with its regulators during the course of its exams and on an ongoing basis. Communications with our regulators include 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 current plans to pay dividends to BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company. 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 and actual results may be materially different than that estimated or projected.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes in our legal proceedings from those disclosed in the “Legal Proceedings” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.
Surety Bond Claim (Westchester Fire Insurance Company v. City of Brooksville)
     This litigation arose from a dispute regarding liability under two performance bonds for infrastructure issued in connection with a plat issued by the City of Brooksville for a single family housing project that was not commenced. The project had been abandoned by Levitt and Sons prior to its bankruptcy filing as non-viable as a consequence of the economic downturn and, in connection with the Levitt and Sons bankruptcy, the mortgagee, Key Bank, was permitted by agreement to initiate and conclude a foreclosure leading to the acquisition of the property by Key Bank’s subsidiary. The City of Brooksville contended that, notwithstanding that the development had not proceeded and was not likely to proceed at any known time in the future, it was entitled to recover the face of the amount of the bonds in the approximate amount of $5.4 million. The company filed a suit for declaratory judgment (in the name of its surety, Westchester) against the City of Brooksville contending that the obligation under the bonds had terminated. On August 2, 2010, the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida granted Westchester’s motion for summary judgment, terminating any obligation under the bonds. It is anticipated that the City will seek rehearing and, if it is denied, will prosecute an appeal of the court’s decision.
