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), and a non-controlling interest in Benihana Inc. (Benihana).
BFC also holds interests in other investments and subsidiaries, as described herein. As a result of
its position as the controlling shareholder of BankAtlantic Bancorp, BFC is a unitary savings bank
holding company and was historically examined and regulated by the Office of Thrift Supervision
(OTS). However, effective July 21, 2011, pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and
Consumer Protection Act (the Dodd-Frank Act), the OTS supervisory authority is now held by, and
BFC is subject to the supervision of, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the
Federal Reserve Board).
Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) require 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 BFCs financial
statements. However, except as otherwise noted, the debts and obligations of the consolidated
entities, including BankAtlantic Bancorp, Bluegreen and Woodbridge Holdings, LLC, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of BFC (Woodbridge), are not direct obligations of BFC and are non-recourse to BFC.
Similarly, the assets of those entities are not available to BFC absent 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, 2011, we had an
approximately 52% ownership and voting interest in Bluegreen and an approximately 53% ownership
interest and 75% voting interest in BankAtlantic Bancorp.
Our business activities currently consist of (i) Real Estate and Other and (ii) Financial
Services. Since our acquisition of a controlling interest in Bluegreen during November 2009, we
have reported the results of our business activities through six segments. Four of the segments
relate to our Real Estate and Other business activities. These segments are: BFC Activities; Real
Estate Operations; and Bluegreen Resorts and Bluegreen Communities, the two segments through which
Bluegreens business was historically conducted. Our other two segments BankAtlantic and
BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company relate to our Financial Services business activities and
include BankAtlantic Bancorps results of operations.
On March 24, 2011, Bluegreen announced that it had engaged advisors to explore strategic
alternatives for Bluegreen Communities. In connection with that process, Bluegreens Board of
Directors made a determination during June 2011 to seek to sell Bluegreen Communities or all or
substantially all of its assets. As a consequence, it was determined that Bluegreen Communities met
the criteria for classification as a discontinued operation. Bluegreen recently entered into a
non-binding letter of intent with a third party contemplating the sale of Bluegreen Communities, or
a similar transaction. However, as of the date of this filing, Bluegreen had not entered into any
definitive agreement or agreements with respect to the sale of Bluegreen Communities or its assets,
and Bluegreen may not be successful in its efforts to consummate any such sale or sales. See Note
4 for further information regarding the classification of Bluegreen Communities as a discontinued
operation and the results of discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30,
2011, and Note 14 for additional information about our operating segments.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with GAAP for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In managements
opinion, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments,
which include normal recurring adjustments, as are necessary for a fair statement of the Companys
consolidated financial condition at June 30, 2011; the consolidated results of operations and
comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010; cash flows for the
six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010; and the changes in consolidated equity for the six months
ended June 30, 2011. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and these notes are presented as
permitted by Form 10-Q and should be read in conjunction with the Companys audited consolidated
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2010. All significant inter-company balances and
10
Table of Contents
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. As used throughout this document, the term
fair value reflects the Companys estimate of fair value as discussed herein. Certain amounts for
prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current periods presentation.
As described above, the operating results of Bluegreen Communities, which had previously been
presented as a separate reporting segment, are included in discontinued operations in the
consolidated statements of operations. In addition, the majority of the assets related to Bluegreen
Communities are presented separately on the consolidated statement of financial condition as
assets held for sale from discontinued operations. See Note 4 for further information.
Revisions to Consolidated Financial Statements
On November 16, 2009, we purchased an additional 7.4 million shares of Bluegreens common
stock. This share purchase increased our ownership interest in Bluegreen to approximately 16.9
million shares, or approximately 52%, of Bluegreens outstanding common stock. Accordingly, we are
deemed to have a controlling interest in Bluegreen and, under GAAP, Bluegreens results are
consolidated in our financial statements. The Company accounted for the acquisition of a
controlling interest in Bluegreen in accordance with the accounting guidance for business
combinations, pursuant to which we were required to evaluate the fair value of Bluegreens assets
and liabilities as of the acquisition date. As previously disclosed, the allocation of the purchase
price was based on preliminary estimates of the fair value of Bluegreens inventory and contracts,
and was subject to change within the measurement period as valuations were finalized.
Additionally, any offset relating to amortization/accretion was also retrospectively adjusted in
the appropriate periods. As discussed in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2010, during the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company finalized its valuations
and adjusted the preliminary values assigned to the assets and liabilities of Bluegreen in order to
reflect additional information obtained since the November 16, 2009 share acquisition date. These
changes resulted in the following adjustments at December 31, 2009: a decrease in real estate
inventory of approximately $6.9 million; an increase in other assets of approximately $3.5 million;
an increase in other liabilities of approximately $4.1 million; and a decrease in deferred income
taxes of approximately $7.1 million. Such adjustments resulted in a decrease to the bargain
purchase gain related to the share acquisition for the year ended December 31, 2009 from $183.1
million to $182.8 million. The Companys Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2010 were revised to reflect the impact of the amortization/accretion
associated with the above adjustments which resulted in a decrease to the net loss for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2010 of approximately $188,000 and $276,000, respectively, compared
to the previously reported amounts.
Additionally, during the fourth quarter of 2010, management identified certain errors in its
previously reported financial statements for 2010 and 2009. Because these errors were not material
to the Companys financial statements for 2010 or 2009, individually or in the aggregate, the
Company revised its previously reported 2010 first, second and third quarter financial statements
and its 2009 annual financial statements. These adjustments related to the following: the
recognition of interest income associated with the notes receivable which for accounting purposes
are treated as having been acquired by BFC in accordance with the accounting guidance Loans and
Debt Securities with Deteriorated Credit Quality; an adjustment to the provision for loan losses
for these notes receivable; interest expense recognition for notes payable of certain defaulted
debt at Woodbridges subsidiaries, Core Communities, LLC (Core or Core Communities) and
Carolina Oak Homes, LLC (Carolina Oak), at the defaulted interest rate, where the stated interest
rate was previously used; the recognition of income tax benefits associated with unrealized gains
in accumulated other comprehensive income; and an adjustment to deferred taxes related to an
impairment to real estate inventory which was reflected after November 16, 2009 and accounted for
as a temporary difference, which should have been included in the determination of deferred taxes
at the acquisition date, as part of the Bluegreen purchase price allocation.
The Companys financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 contained
herein reflect the adjustments and revisions described above. The Company will present the impact
of these adjustments and revisions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 in its
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending September 30, 2011 , in which they will be
disclosed as comparable periods. The quarterly period adjustments and revisions were previously
disclosed in Note 40 to the Companys audited consolidated financial statements included in the
Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. With respect to the
adjustments and revisions for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, the Company disclosed the impact of
these adjustments in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2011.

2. Regulatory and Liquidity Considerations
BFC
Regulatory Considerations
As described above, BFC, due to its position as the controlling shareholder of BankAtlantic
Bancorp, is a unitary savings bank holding company and, as such, was historically examined and
regulated by the OTS. Effective July 21, 2011, the Federal Reserve Board, pursuant to the
Dodd-Frank Act, assumed the supervisory authority previously held by the OTS.
BFC, on a parent company only basis, had previously committed that it would not, without the
prior written non-objection of the OTS, (i) incur, issue, renew or roll over any current lines of
credit, guarantee the debt of any other entity or otherwise incur any additional debt, except as
contemplated by BFCs business plan or in connection with BankAtlantics compliance requirements
applicable to it; (ii) declare or make any dividends or other capital distributions other than
dividends payable on BFCs currently outstanding preferred stock of approximately $187,500 a
quarter or (iii) enter into any new agreements, contracts or arrangements or materially modify any
existing agreements, contracts or arrangements with BankAtlantic not consistent with past
practices. On June 30, 2011, the OTS advised BFC that it was not permitted to (i) incur or issue
any additional debt or debt securities, increase lines of credit or guarantee the debt of any other
entity, or (ii) make dividend payments on its preferred stock, in each case without the prior
written non-objection of the OTS. On July 21, 2011, BFC made a formal request to the Federal
Reserve Board, which, as described above, now has the supervisory authority previously held by the
OTS, for non-objection to the payment of the dividend on its outstanding preferred stock.
As described below, BankAtlantic Bancorp and BankAtlantic each entered into Cease and Desist
Orders with the OTS during February 2011. (See BankAtlantic Bancorp and BankAtlantic Regulatory
Considerations below for a discussion regarding the terms of the Cease and Desist Orders.) Based
on its ownership interest in BankAtlantic Bancorp, BFC may in the future be required to enter into
a Cease and Desist Order with the Federal Reserve Board addressing its ownership and oversight of
those companies.
Liquidity Considerations
Except as otherwise noted, the debts and obligations of BankAtlantic Bancorp, Bluegreen and
Woodbridge 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. BFCs principal sources of liquidity are its available cash, including tax refunds
received as a result of tax law changes, short-term investments, and dividends from Benihana on our
holdings of its convertible preferred stock. In addition, dividends we receive from Benihana in
the future will be less than historical amounts due to our conversion of an aggregate of 300,000
shares out of a total of 800,000 shares of Benihanas convertible preferred stock during May and July
2011. However, the
13
Table of Contents
holders of our preferred stock may have the right to receive such dividends from Benihana in our
place if the Federal Reserve Board does not consent to our payment of dividends on our preferred
stock or we otherwise fail to satisfy such obligation. W also expect to receive an additional $7.5
million tax refund, net of amounts payable under the settlement agreement related to the bankruptcy
filing of Levitt and Sons LLC and substantially all of its subsidiaries, as discussed in Note 15
below.
We intend to 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. 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 years ended December 31, 2010 or 2009, or
during the six months ended June 30, 2011.
During June 2011, BFC acquired an aggregate of 13.3 million shares of BankAtlantic Bancorps
Class A Common Stock in connection with the exercise of subscriptions rights granted to it in
BankAtlantic Bancorps rights offering that commenced on May 16, 2011 and expired on June 16, 2011.
The aggregate purchase price for the 13.3 million shares purchased was $10.0 million. During June
and July 2010, BFC acquired an aggregate of 10.0 million shares of BankAtlantic Bancorps Class A
Common Stock in connection with the exercise of subscription rights granted to it in BankAtlantic
Bancorps rights offering that commenced on June 14, 2010 and expired on July 20, 2010. The
aggregate purchase price for the 10.0 million shares purchased at that time was $15.0 million. See
Note 3 for additional information.
Since March 2009, BFC has not received cash dividends from BankAtlantic Bancorp. BankAtlantic
Bancorp is currently prohibited from paying dividends on its common stock without first receiving
the written non-objection of the Federal Reserve Board. In addition, during February 2009,
BankAtlantic Bancorp elected to exercise its right to defer payments of interest on its trust
preferred junior subordinated debt. BankAtlantic Bancorp is permitted to defer quarterly interest
payments for up to 20 consecutive quarters. During the deferral period, BankAtlantic Bancorp is
prohibited from paying dividends to its shareholders, including BFC. While BankAtlantic Bancorp can
end the deferral period at any time, BankAtlantic Bancorp has indicated that it anticipates that it
may continue to defer such interest payments for the foreseeable future. Furthermore, BFC has not
received cash dividends from Bluegreen and does not expect to receive cash dividends from Bluegreen
in the foreseeable future. Certain of Bluegreens credit facilities contain terms which may limit
the payment of cash dividends, and Bluegreen may only pay dividends as declared by its Board of
Directors, a majority of whom are independent directors under the listing standards of the New York
Stock Exchange.
We believe that our current financial condition and credit relationships, together with
anticipated cash flows from other sources of funds, including tax refunds and, if determined to be
advisable, proceeds from the disposition of certain properties or investments, will allow us to
meet our anticipated near-term liquidity needs at least through June 30, 2012. With respect to
long-term liquidity requirements, we may also, subject to the receipt of any regulatory approvals
or non-objection, seek to raise funds through the incurrence of long-term secured or unsecured
indebtedness, the issuance of equity and/or debt securities or through the sale of assets; however
these alternatives may not be available to us on attractive terms, or at all.
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. Woodbridge was the obligor under a $37.2 million loan that was collateralized by the Carolina
Oak property. During November 2009, the lender filed an action against Woodbridge and Carolina Oak
alleging default under a promissory note and breach of a guaranty related to the loan. During
December 2009, the OTS closed the lender and appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(the FDIC) as receiver. The FDIC subsequently sold the loan to an investor group (sometimes
referred to herein as the note holder). Effective April 26, 2011, Woodbridge and Carolina Oak
entered into a settlement agreement with the note holder to resolve the disputes and litigation between them.
Under the terms of
14
Table of Contents
the settlement agreement, (i) Woodbridge paid $2.5 million to the note holder,
(ii) Carolina Oak conveyed to the note holder the real property securing the loan and (iii) the
note holder agreed not to pursue certain remedies, including a deficiency judgment, and after the
expiration of an agreed-upon time, to fully release Woodbridge and Carolina Oak, in each case
subject to certain conditions. On April 26, 2011, the carrying amount of Carolina Oaks inventory
was approximately $10.8 million. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the Company
recorded a deferred gain on debt settlement of $29.9 million in its Consolidated Statement of
Financial Condition as of June 30, 2011. The deferred gain will be recognized into income at the
earlier of the conclusion of a foreclosure proceeding or April 25, 2012.
On September 21, 2009, BFC consummated its merger with Woodbridge pursuant to which Woodbridge
merged with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of BFC. Under Florida law, holders of Woodbridges
Class A Common Stock who did not vote to approve the merger with Woodbridge and who 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 BFCs Class A
Common Stock which they would otherwise have been entitled to receive. Dissenting Holders, who
owned in the aggregate approximately 4.6 million shares of Woodbridges Class A Common Stock,
provided written notice to Woodbridge regarding their intent to exercise their appraisal rights. In
accordance with Florida law, Woodbridge provided written notices and required forms to the
Dissenting Holders setting forth, among other things, its determination that the fair value of
Woodbridges Class A Common Stock immediately prior to the effectiveness of the merger was $1.10
per share. Dissenting Holders were required to return their appraisal forms by November 10, 2009
and indicate on their appraisal forms whether the Dissenting Holder chose to (i) accept
Woodbridges offer of $1.10 per share or (ii) demand payment of the fair value estimate determined
by the Dissenting Holder plus interest. One Dissenting Holder, which held approximately 400,000
shares of Woodbridges Class A Common Stock, withdrew its shares from the appraisal rights process,
while the remaining Dissenting Holders, who collectively held approximately 4.2 million shares of
Woodbridges Class A Common Stock, have rejected Woodbridges offer of $1.10 per share and
requested payment for their shares based on their respective fair value estimates of Woodbridges
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, Woodbridges
offer to the Dissenting Holders. Thereafter, the appraisal rights litigation commenced and it is
currently ongoing. The outcome of the litigation is uncertain and there is no assurance as to the
amount of cash that will be required to be paid to the Dissenting Holders, which amount may be
greater than the $4.6 million that we have accrued.
Core Communities
Historically, the activities of Core Communities focused on the development of a
master-planned community in Port St. Lucie, Florida called Tradition, Florida and a community
outside of Hardeeville, South Carolina called Tradition Hilton Head. Until 2009, Tradition,
Florida was in active development as was Tradition Hilton Head, although in a much earlier stage.
During 2010, demand for residential and commercial inventory showed no signs of recovery,
particularly in the geographic regions where Cores properties were located. In early 2010,
Woodbridge made the decision to pursue an orderly liquidation of Core and worked cooperatively with
its various lenders to achieve that objective. During November 2010, Core entered into a
settlement agreement with one of its lenders, which had previously commenced actions seeking
foreclosure of mortgage loans totaling approximately $113.9 million collateralized by property in
Florida and South Carolina. Under the terms of the agreement, Core pledged additional collateral to
the lender consisting of membership interests in five of Cores subsidiaries and granted security
interests in the acreage owned by such subsidiaries in Port St. Lucie, Florida, substantially all
of which was undeveloped raw land. Core also agreed to an amendment of the complaint related to the
Florida foreclosure action to include this additional collateral and entered into consensual
judgments of foreclosure in both the Florida and South Carolina foreclosure actions. In
consideration therefor, the lender agreed not to enforce a deficiency judgment against Core and, in
February 2011, released Core from any other claims arising from or relating to the loans. As of
November 30, 2010, Core deconsolidated the five subsidiaries, the membership interests in which
were transferred to the lender upon entry of the consensual judgments of foreclosure. In accordance
with the accounting guidance for consolidation, the Company recorded a guarantee obligation
deferred gain on settlement of investment in subsidiary of $11.3 million in the Companys
Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of December 31, 2010. Core received its general
release of liability, and accordingly the deferred gain on settlement of investment in subsidiary
was recognized into income during the first quarter of 2011. Approximately $27.2 million of the
$113.9 million of mortgage loans described above is collateralized by property in South Carolina which had an
estimated carrying
15
Table of Contents
value of approximately $19.4 million at June 30, 2011. This property is subject
to separate foreclosure proceedings which are expected to occur during the fourth quarter of 2011.
While Core was released by the lender from any other claims relating to the loans, the applicable
accounting guidance requires that the $27.2 million of debt and associated $19.4 million of
collateral remain in Cores financial statements until the foreclosure proceedings have been
completed.
In December 2010, Core and one of its subsidiaries entered into agreements, including a Deed
in Lieu of Foreclosure Agreement, with one of their lenders which resolved the foreclosure
proceedings relating to property at Tradition Hilton Head which served as collateral for a $25
million loan. Pursuant to the agreements, Cores subsidiary transferred to the lender all of its
rights to the property which served as collateral for the loan as well as certain additional real
and personal property. The lender in turn released Core and its subsidiary from any claims arising
from or relating to the loan. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, this transaction
was accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring and, accordingly, a $13.0 million gain on debt
extinguishment was recognized in December 2010.
BankAtlantic Bancorp and BankAtlantic
Regulatory Considerations
The Parent Company of BankAtlantic Bancorp (BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company) and
BankAtlantic were historically regulated and subject to regular examination by the OTS. Since July
21, 2011, the regulatory oversight of BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company is by the Federal Reserve
and the regulatory oversight of BankAtlantic is by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency
(OCC) as a result of the passage of the Dodd-Frank Act.
On February 23, 2011, BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company and BankAtlantic each entered into a
Stipulation and Consent to Issuance of Order to Cease and Desist with the OTS. The Order to Cease
and Desist to which BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company is subject is referred to as the Company
Order, the Order to Cease and Desist to which BankAtlantic is subject is referred to as the Bank
Order and the Company Order and Bank Order are referred to collectively as the Orders. The OTS
issued the Orders due to BankAtlantic Bancorps losses over the past three years, high levels of
classified assets and inadequate levels of capital based on BankAtlantics risk profile as
determined by the OTS. BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company submitted updated written plans to the
OTS that addressed, among other things, maintenance and enhancement of BankAtlantics capital and
its business plan for the year ending December 31, 2011. In addition, under the terms of the
Company Order, BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company was prohibited from taking certain actions
without receiving the prior written non-objection of the Federal Reserve, including, without
limitation, declaring or paying any dividends or other capital distributions and incurring certain
indebtedness. BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company is also required to ensure BankAtlantics
compliance with the terms of the Bank Order as well as all applicable laws, rules, regulations and
agency guidance.
Pursuant to the terms of the Bank Order, BankAtlantic was required to maintain a tier 1 (core)
capital ratio equal to or greater than 8% and a total risk-based capital ratio equal to or greater
than 14%. At June 30, 2011, BankAtlantic had a tier 1 (core) capital ratio of 8.24% and a total
risk-based capital ratio of 14.52%. Pursuant to the terms of the Bank Order, BankAtlantic has
revised certain of its plans, programs and policies and submitted to the OTS certain written plans,
including a capital plan, a revised business plan and a plan to reduce BankAtlantics delinquent
loans and non-performing assets. If BankAtlantic fails to comply with the capital plan and/or fails
to maintain the increased capital ratio requirements, or upon any written request from the OCC,
BankAtlantic is required to submit a contingency plan, which details actions which BankAtlantic
would, in its case, take to either merge with or be acquired by another banking institution.
BankAtlantic will not be required to implement such contingency plan until such time as it receives
written notification from the OCC to do so. In addition, the Bank Order requires BankAtlantic to
limit its asset growth and restricts BankAtlantic from originating or purchasing new commercial
real estate loans or entering into certain material agreements, in each case without receiving the
prior written non-objection of the OCC. Separately, the OTS has confirmed that it has no objection
to BankAtlantic originating loans to facilitate the sale of certain assets or the renewal,
extension or modification of existing commercial real estate loans, subject in each case to
compliance with applicable regulations and bank policies. The Bank Order prohibits the payment of
dividends and other distributions without the prior written non-objection of the OCC. The Orders
also include certain restrictions on compensation paid to the senior executive officers of
BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company and BankAtlantic, and restrictions on agreements with
affiliates.
16
Table of Contents
BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company and BankAtlantic will seek to maintain the higher capital
requirements of the Bank Order through efforts that may include the issuance of BankAtlantic
Bancorps Class A Common Stock through a public or private offering or through initiatives to
maintain or improve its regulatory capital position including: operating strategies to increase
revenues and to reduce non-interest expenses, and reduction of asset balances and non-performing
loans. There can be no assurance that BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company or BankAtlantic will be
able to execute these or other strategies in order to maintain BankAtlantics new minimum
regulatory capital levels by the required time frames.
Each Order became effective on February 23, 2011 and will remain in effect until terminated,
modified or suspended by the OCC, as it relates to the Bank Order, or the Federal Reserve, as it
relates to the Company Order. No fines or penalties were imposed in connection with either Order.
While the Orders formalize steps that BankAtlantic Bancorp believes are already underway, if there
is any material failure by BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company or BankAtlantic to comply with the
terms of the Orders, or if unanticipated market factors emerge, and/or if BankAtlantic Bancorp is
unable to successfully execute its plans, or comply with other regulatory requirements, then the
regulators could take further action, which could include the imposition of fines and/or additional
enforcement actions. Enforcement actions broadly available to regulators include the issuance of a
capital directive, removal of officers and/or directors, institution of proceedings for
receivership or conservatorship, and termination of deposit insurance. Any such action would have
a material adverse effect on BankAtlantic Bancorps business, results of operations and financial
position.
Liquidity Considerations
Both BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company and BankAtlantic actively manage liquidity and cash
flow needs. BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company had cash of $3.8 million as of June 30, 2011.
BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company 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 $73.9
million would be due in December 2013 if interest is deferred until that date. BankAtlantic Bancorp
Parent Companys operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2010 were $6.4 million and were
$3.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011. BankAtlantics liquidity is dependent, in
part, on its ability to maintain or increase deposit levels and the availability of its lines of
credit borrowings with the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB), as well as the Treasury and Federal
Reserve lending programs.
As of June 30, 2011, BankAtlantic had $431 million of cash and short-term investments and
approximately $832 million of available unused borrowings, consisting of $541 million of unused
FHLB line of credit capacity, $257 million of unpledged securities, and $34 million of available
borrowing capacity at the Federal Reserve. However, such available borrowings are subject to
regular reviews and may be terminated, suspended or reduced at any time at the discretion of the
issuing institution or based on the availability of qualifying collateral. Additionally, interest
rate changes, additional collateral requirements, disruptions in the capital markets, adverse
litigation or regulatory actions, or deterioration in BankAtlantics financial condition may reduce
the amounts it is able to borrow, make borrowings unavailable or make terms of the borrowings and
deposits less favorable. As a result, BankAtlantics cost of funds could increase and the
availability of funding sources could decrease. Based on current and expected liquidity needs and
sources, BankAtlantic Bancorp expects to be able to meet its obligations at least through June 30,
2012.
3. Acquisitions and Dispositions
Bluegreen Share Acquisition
As described above, on November 16, 2009, we purchased approximately 7.4 million shares of the
common stock of Bluegreen for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $23 million, increasing
our interest from 9.5 million shares, or 29%, of Bluegreens common stock to 16.9 million shares,
or 52%, of Bluegreens common stock. As a result, we hold a controlling interest in Bluegreen and,
under GAAP, consolidate Bluegreen and all of Bluegreens consolidated entities into our financial
statements. See Revisions to Consolidated Financial Statements under Note 1 above for a discussion
regarding adjustments made to our previously reported financial statements resulting from our
finalization during the fourth quarter of 2010 of our valuation of Bluegreens assets and
liabilities as of the November 16, 2009 share acquisition date.

Purchases of BankAtlantic Bancorps Class A Common Stock
On June 18, 2010, BankAtlantic Bancorp commenced a rights offering to its shareholders of
record as of the close of business on June 14, 2010 (the 2010 Rights Offering). In the 2010
Rights Offering, BankAtlantic Bancorp distributed to each eligible shareholder 0.327 subscription
rights for each share of BankAtlantic Bancorps Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock owned
as of the close of business on June 14, 2010. Each subscription right entitled the holder thereof
to purchase one share of BankAtlantic Bancorps 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 Bancorps Class A Common
Stock that remained unsubscribed for at the expiration of the 2010 Rights Offering at the same
$1.50 per share purchase price. The 2010 Rights Offering expired on July 20, 2010. During June
2010, BFC exercised its basic subscription rights in full, thereby purchasing 5,986,865 shares of
BankAtlantic Bancorps Class A Common Stock, and requested to purchase an additional 4,013,135
shares of BankAtlantic Bancorps Class A Common Stock to the extent available at the expiration of
the 2010 Rights Offering. 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
Bancorps Class A Common Stock on June 28, 2010, which represented a portion of its basic
subscription rights exercise. The balance of BFCs 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 Bancorps Class A Common Stock issuable to
BFC in connection with its exercise of subscription rights in the 2010 Rights Offering. The
promissory note was eliminated in consolidation as of June 30, 2010. In July 2010, in connection
with the completion of the 2010 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
Bancorps Class A Common Stock subscribed for by BFC. The 2010 Rights Offering increased BFCs
ownership interest in BankAtlantic Bancorp by approximately 8% to 45% and BFCs voting interest in
BankAtlantic Bancorp by approximately 5% to 71%.
During the second quarter of 2011, BankAtlantic Bancorp distributed to its shareholders of
record as of the close of business on May 12, 2011, 0.624 subscription rights for each share of
such stock owned on that date (the 2011 Rights Offering). Each subscription right entitled the
holder thereof to purchase one share of BankAtlantic Bancorps Class A Common Stock at a purchase
price of $0.75 per share. Shareholders who exercised their basic subscription rights in full were
also given the opportunity to request to purchase, at the same $0.75 per share purchase price,
additional shares of BankAtlantic Bancorps Class A Common Stock that were not purchased by other
shareholders through the exercise of the basic subscription rights granted to them. The 2011
Rights Offering expired on June 16, 2011. BFC participated in the 2011 Rights Offering, acquiring
an aggregate of 13,333,333 shares of BankAtlantic Bancorps Class A Common Stock for an aggregate
purchase price of $10 million. This increased BFCs ownership interest in BankAtlantic Bancorp by
approximately 8% to 53% and BFCs voting interest in BankAtlantic Bancorp by approximately 5% to
75%.
BFCs acquisition of shares of BankAtlantic Bancorps Class A Common Stock in the 2010 and
2011 Rights Offerings were each accounted for as an equity transaction in accordance with
applicable accounting guidance which provides that
changes in a parents ownership interest which do not result in the parent losing its controlling
interest are reported as equity transactions.
Sale of Tampa Branches and Related Facilities by BankAtlantic
In August 2010, BankAtlantic announced that, due to the rapidly changing environment in
Florida and the banking industry, it decided to focus on its core markets in South Florida and
BankAtlantic began seeking a buyer for its 19 branches located in the Tampa, Florida area. In
January 2011, BankAtlantic agreed to sell its 19 branches and 2 related facilities in the Tampa
area and the associated deposits to an unrelated financial institution and on June 3, 2011,
BankAtlantic completed the Tampa sale. The purchasing financial institution paid i) a 10% premium
for the deposits plus ii) the net book value of the acquired real estate and substantially all of
the fixed assets associated with the branches and facilities.

4. Discontinued Operations
On March 24, 2011, Bluegreen announced that it had engaged advisors to explore strategic
alternatives for Bluegreen Communities, including a possible sale of the division. Based on its
analysis of information and the available options presented to it, on June 30, 2011, Bluegreens
Board of Directors made the determination to seek to sell Bluegreen Communities or all or
substantially all of its assets. As a consequence, Bluegreen determined that Bluegreen Communities
met the criteria for classification as discontinued operations and, accordingly, the operating
results of Bluegreen Communities, which had previously been presented as a separate reporting
segment, are included in discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. In addition, the majority of the assets
related to Bluegreen Communities are presented separately on the Consolidated Statements of
Financial Condition as assets held for sale from discontinued operations. The assets held for
sale primarily consist of Bluegreen Communities real estate assets valued on our books at $31.8
million and $83.8 million as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The decrease in
the carrying amount of the assets held for sale as of June 30, 2011 as compared to December 31,
2010, primarily relates to a $52.4 million non-cash charge recorded during the three months ended
June 30, 2011 to write down the value of Bluegreen Communities assets to its estimated fair value
less cost to sell. Bluegreen derived the fair value of Bluegreen Communities assets available for
sale based on the enterprise level discounted cash flow estimates, (Level 3 inputs), and the
expressions of interest received in the marketing process of the related assets. Bluegreen recently
entered into a non-binding letter of intent with a third party contemplating the sale of Bluegreen
Communities, or a similar transaction. However, as of the date of this filing, Bluegreen had not
entered into any definitive agreement or agreements with respect to the sale of Bluegreen
Communities or its assets, and Bluegreen may not be successful in its efforts to consummate any
such sale or sales.
In December 2009, Core Communities reinitiated efforts to sell two of its commercial leasing
projects (sometimes referred to herein as the Projects) and began soliciting bids from several
potential buyers to purchase assets associated with the Projects. Accordingly, the results of
operations for the Projects are included in the Companys Consolidated Statement of Operations for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 as discontinued 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. In connection with the sale, the
outstanding balance of the loans related to the assets held for sale was reduced to approximately
$800,000 as a result of negotiations with the lender. Core used the proceeds from the sale to repay these loans. As a result, Core was
released from its obligations
19
Table of Contents
to the lender with respect to the loans. The Projects net income from
discontinued operations was approximately $2.7 million and $2.5 million for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.
The following table summarizes the results from discontinued operations of Bluegreen
Communities during the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 and Core Communities during the
three and six months ended June 30, 2010 (in thousands). Core Communities ceased operations during
2010. Therefore, no comparative information is included for Core Communities for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2011.

Additional losses, which may be significant, may be incurred in the future to the extent that actual sales proceeds from the disposition of assets held for sale are materially different from their estimated fair value. | |
(2) | Cost of discontinued operations during the six months ended June 30, 2010 includes Bluegreen Communities non-cash impairment charges of approximately $3.3 million to write down certain phases of completed Communities properties to their estimated fair value less costs to sell at that time. This charge was incurred as a result of continued low volume of sales, reduced prices and the impact of reduced sales on the forecasted sellout period of the projects. | |
(3) | Also included in results of discontinued operations in each of the periods presented is interest expense on notes payable collateralized by certain Bluegreen Communities inventory and property and equipment ($27.8 million as of June 30, 2011), as such debt is required to be repaid in full upon the sale of the related assets. |

(1) | On May 20, 2011, BFC exercised its right to convert 200,000 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock of Benihana into shares of Benihanas Common Stock. In connection with such conversion, effective for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, we began to assess the value of our investment in Benihanas Convertible Preferred Stock, as if converted, by using the market approach with Level 2 measurements instead of the income approach with Level 3 measurements which we historically used. BFC converted an additional 100,000 shares of Benihanas Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of Benihanas Common Stock during July 2011. |

The valuation techniques and the inputs used in our financial statements to measure the

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.
As of March 31, 2011, BFC owned 800,000 shares of Benihanas Convertible Preferred Stock, the
estimated fair value of which 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 Benihanas Common Stock that the Company would have received upon conversion
of its shares of Benihanas Convertible Preferred Stock. On May 20, 2011 BFC converted 200,000
shares of Benihanas Convertible Preferred Stock into 397,328 shares of Benihanas Common Stock. In
connection with the conversion, effective for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, we began to assess
the value of our investment in Benihanas Convertible Preferred Stock by using the market approach
with Level 2 inputs, as if converted to Common Stock, instead of the income approach with Level 3
inputs. At June 30, 2011, the market value of the 600,000 shares of Benihanas Convertible
Preferred Stock owned at that date by BFC, if converted to 1,183,899 shares of Common Stock, was
approximately $12.3 million, and the market value of the 397,328 shares of Benihanas Common Stock
owned by BFC at that date was approximately $4.1 million. The estimated fair value of our
investment in Benihanas Convertible Preferred Stock and Common Stock was based on the $10.42 per
share closing price of Benihanas Common Stock on the NASDAQ on June 30, 2011. On July 15, 2011,
BFC converted an additional 100,000 shares of Benihanas Convertible Preferred Stock owned by it
into 197,721 shares of Benihanas Common Stock. As previously disclosed, these conversions were
effected for the purpose of facilitating shareholder approval of Benihanas currently outstanding
proposal to reclassify each share of its Class A Common Stock into one share of its Common Stock.
We strongly support Benihanas reclassification proposal and we intend to vote all shares of
Benihanas stock owned or controlled by us in favor of the reclassification.
Other 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.
The fair value of foreign currency put options was obtained using the market approach and
quoted market prices using Level 1 inputs as of December 31, 2010.

Loans Receivable Measured For Impairment
Impaired loans 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 loans collateral.
However, the appraiser uses professional judgment in determining the fair value of the collateral
or properties, and we may also adjust these values for changes in market conditions subsequent to
the appraisal date. When current appraisals are not available for certain loans, BankAtlantic
Bancorp uses its judgment on market conditions to adjust the most current appraisal. The sales
prices may reflect prices of sales contracts not closed, and the amount of time required to sell
out the real estate project may be derived from current appraisals of similar projects.
Consequently, 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-offs when these loans become 120 days delinquent. These third party
valuations from real estate professionals also use Level 3 inputs in the determination of the fair
values.
Loans Held for Sale
Loans held for sale are valued using an income approach with Level 3 inputs as market quotes
or sale transactions of similar loans are generally not available. The fair value is estimated by
discounting forecasted cash flows using a discount rate that reflects the risks inherent in the
loans held for sale portfolio. For non-performing loans held for sale the forecasted cash flows
are based on the estimated fair value of the collateral less cost to sell adjusted for foreclosure
expenses and other operating expenses of the underlying collateral until foreclosure or sale.
Impaired Real Estate Owned
Real estate is generally valued using third party appraisals or broker price opinions. These
appraisals generally use the market approach valuation technique and use market observable data to
formulate an opinion of the fair value of the properties. However, the appraisers or brokers use
professional judgments in determining the fair value of the properties and BankAtlantic Bancorp may also adjust these
values for changes in market conditions subsequent to the valuation date. Consequently, the fair
values of the properties are considered Level 3 measurements.

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, the Company or its subsidiaries may not receive the
estimated value 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. These 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 banks other than BankAtlantic at June 30, 2011 include
$20.3 million of certificates of deposit guaranteed by the FDIC with maturities of less than one
year. Due to the FDIC guarantee and the short-term maturity of these certificates of deposit, the
fair value of these deposits approximates the carrying value.
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 take
into account the risk of the cash flows of tax certificates relative to alternative investments.
The fair value of FHLB stock is its carrying amount.
Fair values are estimated for BankAtlantic Bancorp loan portfolios with similar financial
characteristics. Loans are segregated by category, and each loan category is further segmented into
fixed and adjustable rate interest terms and by performing and non-performing categories.
The fair value of BankAtlantic Bancorps performing loans is calculated by using an income
approach with Level 3 inputs. These fair values are estimated by discounting forecasted cash flows
through the estimated maturity using estimated market discount rates that reflect the interest rate
risk inherent in the loan portfolio. The estimate of average maturity is based on BankAtlantics
historical experience with prepayments for each loan classification, modified as required by an
estimate of the effect of current economic and lending conditions. Management of BankAtlantic
Bancorp assigns a credit risk premium and an illiquidity adjustment to these loans based on risk
grades and delinquency status.
25
Table of Contents
The estimated fair value of notes receivable is based on estimated future cash flows
considering contractual payments and estimates of prepayments and defaults, discounted at a market
rate (the rate at which similar loans with similar maturities would be made to borrowers with
similar credit risk).
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 book value. The fair value of certificates of
deposit is based on an income approach with Level 3 inputs. The fair value is calculated by the
discounted value of contractual cash flows with the discount rate estimated using current rates
offered by BankAtlantic for similar remaining maturities.
The fair value of short-term borrowings 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 estimated fair values of notes and mortgage notes payable and other borrowings, including
receivable-backed notes payable, were based upon current rates and spreads a party would pay to
obtain similar borrowings.
In determining the fair value of BankAtlantic Bancorps junior subordinated debentures,
BankAtlantic Bancorp used NASDAQ price quotes available with respect to its $70.4 million of
publicly traded trust preferred securities related to its junior subordinated debentures (public
debentures). However, $259.2 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 trading markets, sales history, 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, 2011 and December 31, 2010, 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 Woodbridges and Bluegreens junior subordinated debentures in the
aggregate amount of $128.9 million and $115.7 million as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010,
respectively, were based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows at a market discount
rate or market price quotes from the over-the-counter bond market.

The unrealized losses on municipal bonds and taxable securities outstanding less than 12
months are primarily the result of interest rate changes. BankAtlantic Bancorp expects to receive
cash proceeds in an amount equal to its entire investment in municipal bonds and taxable securities
upon maturity.
The unrealized loss on equity securities and Benihana Common Stock at June 30, 2011 and
December 31, 2010 were not significant. Accordingly, the Company did not consider these investments
other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
Management reviews its investments for other-than-temporary declines in value quarterly. As a
consequence of the review during the six months ended June 30, 2011, a $1.5 million
other-than-temporary decline in value was recognized related to a private equity investment in an
unrelated financial institution.

BFC Benihana Investment
During 2004, BFC purchased 800,000 shares of Benihana Convertible Preferred Stock for $25.00
per share. The Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into Benihanas Common Stock at a
conversion price of $12.67 per share of Convertible Preferred Stock, subject to adjustment from
time to time upon the occurrence of certain defined events. During May 2011, we converted 200,000
shares of Convertible Preferred Stock of Benihana into 397,328 shares of Benihanas Common Stock.
On July 15, 2011, we converted an additional 100,000 shares of Benihanas Convertible Preferred
Stock into 197,721 shares of Benihanas Common Stock. As described above, we decided to convert
these shares of Benihanas Preferred Stock for the purpose of facilitating shareholder approval of
Benihanas currently outstanding proposal to reclassify each share of its Class A Common Stock into
one share of its Common Stock. We strongly support Benihanas reclassification proposal and we
intend to vote all shares of Benihanas stock owned or controlled by us in favor of the
reclassification. The remaining 500,000 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock of Benihana are
currently convertible into an aggregate of 986,582 shares of Benihanas Common Stock. Based on the
number of currently outstanding shares of Benihanas capital stock, the 500,000 shares of
Convertible Preferred Stock currently held by us, if converted, together with the 595,049 shares of
Benihanas Common Stock currently held by us would represent an approximately 19% voting interest
and an approximately 9% economic interest in Benihana.
Except as provided by Delaware law, such as in the case of the reclassification proposal
described above, the shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock have voting rights on an as if
converted basis together with Benihanas Common Stock on all matters put to a vote of the holders
of Benihanas 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 its
original issue price of $25 per shares, ($12.5 million for the remaining 500,000 shares) plus
accumulated dividends on July 2, 2014 unless the Company elects to extend the mandatory redemption
date to a later date not to extend beyond July 2, 2024.
As of June 30, 2011, the market value of the 600,000 shares of Benihanas Convertible
Preferred Stock owned at that date by BFC, if converted to 1,183,899 shares of Common Stock, was
approximately $12.3 million, and the market value of the 397,328 shares of Benihanas Common Stock
owned by BFC at that date was approximately $4.1 million. The estimated fair value of our
investment in Benihanas Convertible Preferred and Common Stock was based on the $10.42 per
share closing price of Benihanas Common Stock on the NASDAQ on June 30, 2011.

Impaired Loans Loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events,
BankAtlantic
Bancorp believes it is probable that it will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the
contractual terms of the loan agreement. For a loan that has been restructured, the contractual
terms of the loan agreement refer to the contractual terms specified by the original loan
agreement, not the contractual terms specified by the restructured
31
Table of Contents
agreement. Impairment is
evaluated based on past due status for consumer and residential loans. Impairment is evaluated as
part of BankAtlantic Bancorps on-going credit monitoring process for commercial and small business
loans which results in the evaluation for impairment of all criticized loans. Factors considered
in determining if a loan is impaired are past payment history, strength of the borrower or
guarantors, and cash flow associated with the collateral or business. If a loan is impaired, a
specific valuation allowance is allocated, if necessary, based on the present value of estimated
future cash flows using the loans existing interest rate or at the fair value of collateral if the
loan is collateral dependent. BankAtlantic Bancorp generally measures loans for impairment using
the fair value of collateral less cost to sell method. Interest payments on impaired loans for all
loan classes are recognized on a cash basis, unless collectability of the principal and interest
amount is probable, in which case interest is recognized on an accrual basis. Impaired loans, or
portions thereof, are charged off when deemed uncollectible. Impaired loans held for sale are
measured for impairment based on the estimated fair value of the collateral less cost to sell
adjusted for foreclosure expenses and other operating expenses of the underlying collateral until
foreclosure and sale.

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 loans 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 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
initially 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, 2011 was $270.3 million of collateral
dependent loans, of which $168.8 million were measured for impairment using current appraisals and
$101.4 million were measured by
33
Table of Contents
adjusting appraisals greater than six months old, as appropriate,
to reflect changes in market conditions subsequent to the last appraisal date. Appraised values
with respect to 28 loans which did not have current appraisals were adjusted down by an aggregate amount of $8.3 million to reflect the change in market
conditions since the last appraisal date.
As of June 30, 2011, impaired loans with specific valuation allowances had been previously
written down by $51.2 million and impaired loans without specific valuation allowances had been
previously written down by $89.3 million. BankAtlantic had commitments to lend $6.0 million of
additional funds on impaired loans as of June 30, 2011.

impaired loans and general economic conditions nationwide and in Florida in an effort to assess
loan credit quality. BankAtlantic Bancorp uses a risk grading matrix to monitor credit quality for
commercial and small business loans. Risk grades are assigned to each commercial and small
business loan upon origination. The loan officers monitor the risk grades and these risk grades
are reviewed periodically by a third party consultant. BankAtlantic Bancorp assigns risk grades on
a scale of 1 to 13. A general description of the risk grades is as follows:
Grades 1 to 7 The loans in these risk grades are generally well protected by the current
net worth and paying capacity of the borrower or guarantors or by the fair value, less cost to
sell, of the underlying collateral.
Grades 8 to 9 Not used
Grade 10 These loans are considered to have potential weaknesses that deserve managements
close attention. While these loans do not expose BankAtlantic Bancorp to immediate risk of loss, if
left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects
for the loan.
Grade 11 These loans are considered to be inadequately protected by the current sound net
worth and paying capacity of the borrower or guarantors or by the collateral pledged, if any.
Loans in this grade have well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the loan and
there is a distinct possibility that BankAtlantic Bancorp may sustain some credit loss if the
weaknesses are not corrected.
Grade 12 These loans are considered to have all the weaknesses of a Grade 11 with the added
characteristic that the weaknesses make collection of BankAtlantic Bancorps investment in the loan
highly questionable and improbable on the basis of currently known facts, conditions and fair
values of the collateral.
Grade 13 These loans, or portions thereof, are considered uncollectible and of such little
value that continuance on the BankAtlantic Bancorps books as an asset is not warranted without the
establishment of a specific valuation allowance or a charge-off. Such loans are generally charged
down or completely charged off.

BankAtlantic Bancorp monitors the credit quality of residential loans through
loan-to-value ratios of the underlying collateral. Elevated loan-to-value ratios indicate the
likelihood of increased credit losses upon default which results in higher loan portfolio credit
risk.

Included in the table above are notes receivable which for accounting purposes are treated as
having been acquired by BFC based on our November 2009 acquisition of approximately 7.4 million
shares of Bluegreens Common Stock giving us a controlling interest in Bluegreen. In accordance
with applicable accounting guidance Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit
Quality", BFC has elected to recognize interest income on these notes receivable using the expected
cash flows method. BFC treated expected prepayments consistently in determining its cash flows
which it anticipates to collect, such that the non-accretable difference is not affected and the
difference between actual prepayments and expected prepayments shall not affect the non-accretable
difference. The assumption for prepayment rates was derived from Bluegreens historical performance
information for its off-balance sheet securitizations and ranges from 4% to 9%. As of June 30,
2011 and December 31, 2010, the outstanding contractual unpaid principal balance of these notes
receivable was $221.3 million and $250.6 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2011 and December
31, 2010, the carrying amount of these notes receivable was $185.8 million and $206.9 million,
respectively.
The carrying amount of these notes is included in the balance sheet amounts of notes
receivable at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The following is a reconciliation of accretable
yield as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

All of Bluegreens vacation ownership interests (VOIs) notes receivable bear interest at
fixed rates. The weighted-average interest rate charged on loans secured by VOIs was 15.3% and
15.2% at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The weighted-average interest rate
charged on notes receivable secured by home sites was 7.7% at June 30, 2011 and 7.8% at December 31,
2010.
Bluegreens VOI notes receivable are generally secured by properties 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.

Bluegreen holds large amounts of homogeneous VOI notes receivable and assesses
uncollectibility based on pools of receivables. In estimating future credit losses, Bluegreen does
not use a single primary indicator of credit quality but instead evaluates its VOI notes based upon
a combination of factors including a static pool analysis, the aging of the respective receivables,
current default trends, prepayment rates by origination year, and the FICO scores of the buyers.
The following table shows the aging of Bluegreens VOI notes receivable as of June 30, 2011

9. 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. Bluegreens
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 through special purpose finance entities, VOI notes receivable originated by
Bluegreen Resorts. These transactions are generally structured as non-recourse to Bluegreen, with
the exception of one securitization transaction entered into in 2010, which was guaranteed by
Bluegreen. These transactions are generally 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. In accordance with
applicable accounting guidance currently in effect, we consolidate these entities into our
financial statements as we are the primary beneficiary of the entities.
During the six months ended June 30, 2011, Bluegreen transferred $21.0 million of VOI notes
receivable to the VIEs and received cash proceeds of $14.7 million. At June 30, 2011, the principal
balance of VOI notes receivable included within the Companys Consolidated Statement of Financial
Condition that are restricted to satisfy obligations of the VIEs obligations totaled $486.1
million. In addition, approximately $38.8 million of restricted cash is held in accounts for the
benefit of the variable interest entities. Further, at June 30, 2011, the carrying amount of the
consolidated liabilities included within the Companys Consolidated Statement of Financial
Condition for these variable interest entities totaled $412.8 million, comprised of $393.8 million
of non-recourse receivable-backed notes payable and $18.9 million of receivable-backed notes
payable which is recourse to Bluegreen.
Under the terms of certain of Bluegreens timeshare note sales, Bluegreen has the right at its
option to repurchase or substitute for a limited amount of 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 VOI which collateralizes the defaulted mortgage note. Voluntary
repurchases or substitutions by Bluegreen of defaulted notes during the six months ended June 30,
2011 and 2010 were $14.5 million and $24.3 million, respectively.

Inventory consisted of the combined real estate assets of Bluegreen Resorts, Carolina Oak,
Core Communities, BankAtlantics residential construction development acquired in 2002, and
BankAtlantics land and facilities held for sale for BankAtlantics store expansion program. During
the fourth quarter of 2010, Core relinquished to its lenders title to substantially all of the land
Core owned in both Florida and South Carolina and conveyed its ownership interests in several of
its subsidiaries. During February 2011, Core was released from any other claims arising from or
relating to the loans. However, as described in Note 2 above and Note 11 below, land and land
development costs include $19.4 million related to certain assets within Cores South Carolina
property which are subject to separate foreclosure proceedings that are not expected to begin until
the fourth quarter in 2011. See Note 2 for additional information.
Bluegreens estimates the fair value of the underlying properties based on either the prices
of comparable properties or our analysis of their estimated future cash flows (Level 3 inputs),
discounted at rates commensurate with the risk inherent in the property. Bluegreen estimates future
cash flows based upon its expectations of performance given current and projected forecasts of the
economy and real estate markets in general. Should adverse conditions in the real estate market
continue longer than forecasted or deteriorate further or if Bluegreens performance does not meet
the expectations on which its estimates were based, or if Bluegreen otherwise determines based on
information available that the carrying value of the assets exceed their fair value, additional
charges may be recorded in the future.
11. Debt
Woodbridge
On April 26, 2011, Woodbridge and Carolina Oak entered into a settlement agreement with a note
holder to resolve the disputes and litigation between them relating to an approximately $37.2
million loan which was collateralized by property owned by Carolina Oak. See Note 2 for additional
information regarding the settlement agreement.
Core
During November 2010, Core entered into a settlement agreement with one of its lenders, which
had previously commenced actions seeking foreclosure of mortgage loans totaling approximately
$113.9 million collateralized by property in Florida and South Carolina. Approximately $27.2
million of the $113.9 million of mortgage loans is collateralized by property in South Carolina
which had an estimated carrying value of approximately $19.4 million at June 30, 2011. This
property is subject to separate foreclosure proceedings which are expected to occur during the
fourth quarter of 2011. While Core was released by the lender from any other claims relating to the
loans, applicable accounting guidance requires that the $27.2 million of debt and associated $19.4
million of collateral remain in Cores financial statements until the foreclosure proceedings have
been completed.
In December 2010, Core and one of its subsidiaries entered agreements, including a Deed in
Lieu of Foreclosure Agreement, with one of their lenders which resolved the foreclosure proceedings
commenced by the lender related to property at Tradition Hilton Head which served as collateral for
a $25 million loan.
See Note 2 for additional information regarding these agreements.

Bluegreen
Bluegreens pledged assets under its facilities and notes payable as of June 30, 2011 and
December 31, 2010 had a carrying amount before purchase accounting adjustments of approximately
$258.6 million and $350.3 million, respectively.
Significant changes related to Bluegreens lines-of credit and notes payable since December 31,
2010 include:
RFA AD&C Facility. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, Bluegreen repaid $8.1 million of the
outstanding balance under this facility, including the repayment in full of a loan collateralized
by Bluegreens Fountains Resort in Orlando, Florida.
H4BG Communities Facility. The H4BG Communities Facility is secured by the real property homesites
(and personal property related thereto) and golf courses at several Bluegreen Communities projects.
The facility is scheduled to mature on December 31, 2012, however, if the assets pledged as
collateral for this facility are sold prior to the scheduled maturity date, the facility will
mature upon the sale of the assets. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, Bluegreen repaid
$3.4 million of the outstanding balance under this facility.
Wells Fargo Term Loan. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, Bluegreen repaid $5.8 million of
the outstanding balance under this facility.
Receivable-Backed Notes Payable
Bluegreens pledged receivables under its receivable-backed notes payable as of June 30, 2011
and December 31, 2010 had a principal balance before purchase accounting adjustments of
approximately $616.3million and $667.0 million, respectively.
2011 Liberty Bank Facility. In February 2011, Bluegreen entered into a new revolving hypothecation
facility with certain participants in its 2008 Liberty Bank Facility. This new $60.0 million
facility (2011 Liberty Bank Facility) provides for an 85% advance on eligible receivables pledged
under the facility during a two-year period ending in February 2013, subject to eligible collateral
and terms and conditions Bluegreen believes to be customary for transactions of this type.
Availability under the 2011 Liberty Bank Facility is reduced by amounts currently outstanding to
certain syndicate participants under the 2008 Liberty Bank Facility ($42.2 million as of June 30,
2011), but as outstanding amounts on the 2008 Liberty Bank facility amortize over time, the 2011
Liberty Bank Facility will revolve up to $60.0 million. Principal and interest are repaid as cash
is collected on the pledged receivables, with the remaining balance due in February 2016.
Indebtedness under the 2011 Liberty Bank Facility bears interest at the Prime Rate plus 2.25%,
subject to a floor of 6.5%. (6.5% as of June 30, 2011). During the six months ended June 30, 2011,
Bluegreen pledged $7.9 million of VOI notes receivable to this facility and received cash proceeds
of $6.7 million. Bluegreen also repaid $0.7 million on the facility.
NBA Receivables Facility. Bluegreen/Big Cedar Joint Venture has an existing $20.0 million timeshare
receivables hypothecation facility with National Bank of Arizona (NBA), which provides an 85%
advance on eligible receivables. At the time of closing of the transaction, $23.5 million of
eligible receivables were pledged. In May 2011, the facility was amended to allow us to pledge
additional timeshare receivables through October 31, 2011, with additional advances not to exceed
$5.0 million, subject to a total $20.0 million borrowing limit for all amounts outstanding under
the facility. The unpaid balance related to the initial September 30, 2010 advance, of which $15.3
million was outstanding as of June 30, 2011, matures on September 30, 2017. The unpaid balance
related to the additional advances of which $3.9 million was outstanding as of June 30, 2011,
matures on October 31, 2018. All principal and interest payments received on pledged receivables
are applied to principal and interest due under the facility. Indebtedness under this facility
bears interest at the 30-day LIBOR plus 5.25%, subject to a floor of 6.75% (6.75% as of June 30,
2011). During the six months ended June 30, 2011, Bluegreen pledged $4.6 million of VOI notes
receivable to this facility and received cash proceeds of $3.9 million. Bluegreen also repaid $3.0
million on this facility.
BB&T Purchase Facility. Bluegreen has a $75.0 million timeshare notes receivable purchase facility
with Branch Banking and Trust Company (BB&T) (the BB&T Purchase Facility), which has a
revolving advance period through December 17, 2011. The BB&T Purchase Facility provides for the
financing of our timeshare receivables at an advance rate of 67.5%, subject to the terms of the
facility. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, Bluegreen
39
Table of Contents
pledged $17.0 million of VOI notes receivable to this facility and received cash proceeds of $11.5
million. Bluegreen also repaid $0.3 million on the facility.
Quorum Purchase Facility. Bluegreen has a $20.0 million timeshare notes receivable purchase
facility (the Quorum Facility) with Quorum Federal Credit Union (Quorum) which allows Bluegreen
to sell timeshare notes receivable on a non-recourse basis, through December 22, 2011. The terms
of the Quorum Facility provide an 80% advance rate and a program fee rate of 8% per annum through
August 31, 2011, and terms to be agreed upon through December 22, 2011. During the six months ended
June 30, 2011, Bluegreen pledged $4.0 million of VOI notes receivable to this facility and received
cash proceeds of $3.2 million. Bluegreen also repaid $0.1 million on the facility.
Other Facilities. In addition to the payments on the above described facilities, during the six
months ended June 30, 2011 Bluegreen repaid $76.3 million on its other receivable-backed notes
payable facilities.
Junior Subordinated Debentures
As more fully disclosed under the caption Junior Subordinated Debentures in Note 23 Debt to
the Companys audited consolidated financial statements included in the Companys Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, some of the Companys 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 Companys 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. Interest on the junior subordinated debentures and distributions on the trust
preferred securities are payable quarterly in arrears at the same interest rate.
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% (4.10% as of June 30, 2011).
On July 30, 2010, the interest rate on the securities issued by LCT II contractually changed
from a fixed-rate of 8.09% to a variable rate equal to the 3-month LIBOR + 3.80% (4.07% as of June
30, 2011).
On June 30, 2011, the interest rate on the securities issued by LCT III contractually changed
from a fixed-rate of 9.251% to a variable rate equal to the 3-month LIBOR + 3.80% (4.05% as of June
30, 2011).
On March 30, 2010, the interest rates 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% (5.15% as of June 30, 2011).
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% (5.10% as of June 30, 2011).
On June 30, 2011, the interest rate on the securities issued by BST IV contractually changed
from a fixed-rate of 10.13% to a variable rate equal to the 3-month LIBOR + 4.85% (5.10% as of June

14. 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 subsidiaries. The presentation and allocation of assets and
results of operations may not reflect the actual economic costs of the segments as standalone
businesses. If a different basis of allocation were utilized, the relative contributions of the
segments might differ but the relative trends in the segments operating results would, in
managements view, likely not be impacted.
Our business activities currently consist of (i) Real Estate and Other and (ii) Financial
Services. Since our acquisition of a controlling interest in Bluegreen during November 2009, we
have reported the results of our business activities through six segments. Four of the segments
relate to our Real Estate and Other business activities. These segments are: BFC Activities; Real
Estate Operations; and Bluegreen Resorts and Bluegreen Communities, the two segments through which
Bluegreens business was historically conducted. Our other two segments BankAtlantic and
BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company relate to our Financial Services business activities and
include BankAtlantic Bancorps results of operations.
On March 24, 2011, Bluegreen announced that it had engaged advisors to explore strategic
alternatives for Bluegreen Communities. In connection with that process, Bluegreens Board of
Directors made a determination during June 2011 to seek to sell Bluegreen Communities or all or
substantially all of its assets. As a consequence, it was determined that Bluegreen Communities met
the criteria for classification as a discontinued operation, and it is therefore no longer included
as an operating segment. Bluegreen recently entered into a non-binding letter of intent with a
third party contemplating the sale of Bluegreen Communities, or a similar transaction. However, as
of the date of this filing, Bluegreen had not entered into any definitive agreement or agreements
with respect to the sale of Bluegreen Communities or its assets, and Bluegreen may not be
successful in its efforts to consummate any such sale or sales. See Note 4 for further information
regarding the classification of Bluegreen Communities as a discontinued operation and the results
of discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.
The Company evaluates segment performance based on its segment net income (loss).
The following summarizes the aggregation of the Companys operating segments into reportable
segments:
BFC Activities
The BFC Activities segment consists of BFC operations, dividends from 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 BFCs shared service operations which
provides human resources, risk management, investor relations and executive office administration
services to BankAtlantic Bancorp and Bluegreen. This segment also includes investments made by our
wholly owned subsidiary, BFC/CCC, Inc. (BFC/CCC). Woodbridges other operations include the
activities of Pizza Fusion Holdings, Inc., a restaurant operator and franchisor engaged in the
quick service and organic food industries, Snapper Creek Equity Management, LLC, and certain other
investments.
Real Estate Operations
The Companys Real Estate Operations segment is comprised of the operations of Woodbridge and
the subsidiaries through which Woodbridge historically conducted its real estate business
activities. It currently includes 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, LLC (Cypress Creek Holdings), which engages in leasing activities. The Real
Estate Operations segment also includes the business activities of Core, certain subsidiaries of
which were deconsolidated from our financial statements during the fourth quarter of 2010.

Bluegreen Resorts
Bluegreen Resorts markets, sells and manages real estate-based VOIs in resorts generally
located in popular, high-volume, drive-to vacation destinations, which were developed or acquired
by Bluegreen or developed by others. Bluegreen Resorts also earns fees from third-party resort
developers and timeshare owners for providing services such as sales and marketing, mortgage
servicing, construction management, title, and resort management.
Effective January 1, 2011, Bluegreen modified its measure of segment operating profit (loss)
to include certain bank-related charges, which were previously reported as corporate general and
administrative expenses. In connection with this modification, presentation for prior periods have
been revised to be comparable with the current period. This revision decreased Bluegreen Resorts
segment operating profit by $0.7 million and $1.1 million for the three and six months ended June
30, 2010, respectively, from the amounts previously reported.
BankAtlantic
The Companys BankAtlantic segment consists of the banking operations of BankAtlantic.
BankAtlantic activities consist of retail banking services delivered through a network of branches
located in Florida.
BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company
The BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company segment consists of the operations of BankAtlantic
Bancorp Parent Company, including financing activities, capital management and costs of
acquisitions.

15. Commitments and Contingencies
BFC
At June 30, 2009, a wholly-owned subsidiary of BFC/CCC had a 10% interest in a limited
partnership as a non-managing general partner. The partnership owns an office building located in
Boca Raton, Florida. In connection with the purchase of the office building in March 2006, BFC/CCC
guaranteed repayment of a portion of the non-recourse loan on the property on a joint and several
basis with the managing general partner. BFC/CCCs maximum exposure under this guarantee agreement
was $2.0 million (which was shared on a joint and several basis with the managing general partner).
In July 2009, BFC/CCCs wholly-owned subsidiary withdrew as a partner of the limited partnership
and transferred its 10% interest to an unaffiliated partner. In return, the partner to whom this
interest was assigned agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the release of BFC/CCC
from the guarantee. The partner was unable to secure such a release and that partner has agreed to
indemnify BFC/CCCs wholly-owned subsidiary for any losses that may arise under the guarantee after
the date of the assignment. No amounts are recorded in our financial statements at June 30, 2011 or
December 31, 2010 for this joint venture.
A wholly-owned subsidiary of BFC/CCC had a 10% interest in a limited liability company that
owned two commercial properties in Hillsborough County, Florida which served as collateral for an
approximately $26.0 million loan to the limited liability company. In connection with the purchase
of the commercial properties in November 2006, BFC and the unaffiliated member of the limited
liability company each guaranteed the payment of up to a maximum of $5.0 million for certain
environmental indemnities and specific obligations that were not related to the financial
performance of the properties. BFC and the unaffiliated member also entered into a cross
indemnification agreement which limited BFCs obligations under the guarantee to acts of BFC and
its affiliates. On March 25, 2011, the limited liability company reached a settlement with its
lender, pursuant to which it conveyed the commercial properties securing the loan via a deed in
lieu of foreclosure. BFC and BFC/CCCs wholly-owned subsidiary were released from all obligations
and guarantees related to the two commercial properties. During the first quarter of 2011, BFC
recognized the negative basis of its investment of approximately $1.3 million which is included in
earnings from unconsolidated 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, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the carrying amount of this investment was
approximately $286,000 and $282,000, respectively, which is included in investments in
unconsolidated affiliates in the Companys 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 BFCs obligations under the guarantee to acts of BFC and its affiliates. No
amounts are recorded in the Companys financial statements at June 30, 2011 or December 31, 2010
for the obligations associated with this guarantee 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 deemed the 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.
Woodbridge
Levitt and Sons, Woodbridges 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 both June 30, 2011 and
December 31, 2010, Woodbridge had $490,000 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. 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 the
48
Table of Contents
previous accrued amount. 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 surety bond exposure
in connection with demands made by a municipality. Based on claims by the municipality on the
bonds, the surety requested that Woodbridge post a $4.0 million escrow deposit while the matter was
being litigated with the municipality. While Woodbridge did not believe that the municipality had
the right to demand payment under the bonds, Woodbridge complied with that request. In August 2010,
a motion for summary judgment was entered in Woodbridges favor terminating any obligations under
the bonds. The municipality has appealed the 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 (the
Settlement Agreement). No appeal or rehearing of the Bankruptcy Courts 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 as amended. Under cost method
accounting, the cost of settlement and the related $52.9 million liability (less $500,000 which was
determined as the settlement holdback and remained as an accrual pursuant to the settlement
agreement) 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 $1.0 million, representing a 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. We have placed into escrow approximately $8.4 million, which represents the
portion of the tax refund received to date from the Internal Revenue Service that would be payable
to the Debtors Estate under the Settlement Agreement.

the merger between BFC and Woodbridge.
Bluegreen
In the ordinary course of its business, Bluegreen becomes subject to claims or proceedings
from time to time relating to the purchase, subdivision, sale or financing of real estate
(including VOIs). Additionally, from time to time, Bluegreen becomes involved in disputes with
existing and former employees, vendors, taxing jurisdictions and various other parties. From time
to time in the ordinary course of business, Bluegreen also receives individual consumer complaints,
as well as complaints received through regulatory and consumer agencies, including Offices of State
Attorney Generals. We take these matters seriously and attempt to resolve any such issues as they
arise. Unless otherwise described below, Bluegreen believes that these claims are routine
litigation incidental to its business.
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 have vigorously opposed 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. By letter dated May 25, 2011, the State of Tennessee Department of Revenue issued
a decision in which it held that two of the three types of transactions in question were taxable.
The Department of Revenue confirmed that Bluegreen had already remitted the proper amount of sales
tax due on one of the two types of taxable transactions, but have taken the position that Bluegreen
owed a total of $731,000 in taxes and interest based on the second type of transaction. On August
1, 2011 Bluegreen filed suit in the Chancery Court of Davidson County, Tennessee for the purpose of
invalidating and setting aside the tax assessment made against Bluegreen by the Department of
Revenue.

Destin, Florida Deposit Dispute Lawsuit
In Case 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, during 2006, Joseph M. Scheyd, Jr., P.A., 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. Bluegreen maintains its decision not to close on the
purchase of the property was proper under the terms of the purchase and sale contract and therefore
are entitled to a return of the full escrow deposit. On June 1, 2011, the trial court made a
finding that Bluegreen breached the purchase and sale contract and that the plaintiff was entitled
to the escrow deposit and all accrued interest. Bluegreen has filed a notice of appeal with the
First District Court of Appeal seeking to appeal the result of the trial courts decision. In connection
with the appeal, the escrow deposit and all accrued interest have been placed in the appropriate
Court registry pending the outcome of the appeal.
Inquiry into Consumer Matters by the Office of the Florida Attorney General
The Office of the Attorney General for the State of Florida (the AGSF) has advised Bluegreen
that it has accumulated a number of consumer complaints since 2005 against Bluegreen and/or its
affiliates related to timeshare sales and marketing, and has requested that Bluegreen propose a
resolution on a collective basis of any outstanding complaints. The AGSF has also requested that
Bluegreen enter into a written agreement in which to establish a process and timeframe for
determining consumer eligibility for relief (including, where applicable, monetary restitution).
Bluegreen has determined that many of these complaints were previously addressed and/or resolved.
Bluegreen is cooperating with the State and do not believe this matter will have a material effect
on our results of operations, financial condition or on our sales and marketing activities in
Florida.
The matters described below relate to the Bluegreen Communities business, which is reported as
a discontinued operation.
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 Case 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 Case No. 28769, 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. Southwest appealed the trial courts 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 courts decision and ruled in Southwests 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. On May 14, 2009, the plaintiffs filed an appeal with the
Texas Supreme Court asking the Court to reverse the Appellate Courts decision in favor of
Southwest. On September 15, 2010 the Court heard oral arguments on whether to reverse or affirm the
Appellate Courts decision. No information is available as to when the Texas Supreme Court will
render a decision on the appeal.
Schawrz, et al. Lawsuit Regarding Community Amenities
On September 18, 2008, in Case No. 2008-5U-CV-1358-WI, styled Paul A. Schwarz and Barbara
S. Schwarz v. Bluegreen Communities of Georgia, LLC and Bluegreen Corporation, in the United
States District Court for the Southern District of Georgia, Brunswick Division, the plaintiffs
brought suit alleging fraud and
50
Table of Contents
misrepresentation with regards to the construction of a marina at the Sanctuary Cove subdivision
located in Camden County, Georgia. The plaintiff subsequently withdrew the fraud and
misrepresentation counts and filed a count alleging violation of racketeering laws. On January 25,
2010, the plaintiffs filed a second complaint seeking approval to proceed with the lawsuit as a
class action on behalf of more than 100 persons alleged to have been harmed by the alleged
activities in a similar manner. No decision has yet been made by the Court as to whether a class
will be certified. Bluegreen denies the allegations and intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit.
Community Cable Service, LLC Lawsuit
On June 3, 2010, in Case No. 16-2009-CA-008028, styled Community Cable Service, LLC v.
Bluegreen Communities of Georgia, LLC and Sanctuary Cove at St. Andrews Sound Community
Association, Inc., a/k/a Sanctuary Cove Home Developers Association, Inc., in the Circuit
Court of the Fourth Judicial Circuit in and for Duval County, Florida, the plaintiffs filed suit
alleging breach by Bluegreen Communities of Georgia and the community association of a bulk cable
TV services contract at Bluegreens Communities Sanctuary Cove single family residential community
being developed in Waverly, Georgia. In its complaint, the plaintiffs alleged that unpaid bulk
cable fees are due from the defendants, and that the non-payment of fees will continue to accrue on
a monthly basis. Bluegreen and the community association have responded that the plaintiffs
breached the parties contract. The case went to mediation on September 20, 2010, but no
resolution was reached. Both parties have filed motions for summary judgment which have been set
for hearing on August 11, 2011. A trial date, if necessary, will be set after the Court rules on
the parties summary judgment motion.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by BankAtlantic to guarantee the
performance of a customer to a third party. BankAtlantics standby letters of credit are generally
issued to customers in the construction industry guaranteeing project performance. These types of
standby letters of credit had a maximum exposure of $6.4 million at June 30, 2011. 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 $0.9 million
at June 30, 2011. 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 loans 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, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were $35,000 and
$34,000, respectively, of unearned guarantee fees. There were no obligations associated with these
guarantees recorded in the financial statements.
BankAtlantic Bancorp and its subsidiaries are parties to lawsuits as plaintiff or defendant
involving its bank operations, lending and tax certificates. Although BankAtlantic Bancorp believes
it has meritorious defenses in all current legal actions, the outcome of litigation and regulatory
matters and timing of ultimate resolution are inherently difficult to predict and uncertain.
Reserves are accrued for matters in which it is probable that a loss will be incurred and the
amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated. These accrual amounts as of June 30, 2011 are not
material to BankAtlantic Bancorps financial statements. The actual costs of resolving these legal
claims may be substantially higher or lower than the amounts accrued for these claims.
A range of reasonably possible losses is estimated for matters in which it is reasonably
possible that a loss has been incurred or that a loss is probable but not reasonably estimable.
Management of BankAtlantic Bancorp
51
Table of Contents
currently estimates the aggregate range of reasonably possible
losses as $6.3 million to $18.3 million in excess of the accrued liability relating to these legal
matters. This estimated range of reasonably possible losses represents the estimated possible
losses over the life of such legal matters, which may span a currently indeterminable number of
years, and is based on information currently available. The matters underlying the estimated range
will change from time to time, and actual results may vary significantly from this estimate. Those
matters for which a reasonable estimate is not possible are not included within this estimated
range and, therefore, this estimated range does not represent BankAtlantic Bancorps maximum loss
exposure.
In certain matters BankAtlantic Bancorp is unable to estimate the loss or reasonable range of
loss until additional developments in the case provide information sufficient to support an
assessment of the loss or range of loss. Frequently in these matters the claims are broad and the
plaintiffs have not quantified or factually supported the claim.
BankAtlantic Bancorp believes that liabilities arising from litigation and regulatory matters,
discussed below, in excess of the amounts currently accrued, if any, will not have a material
impact to BankAtlantic Bancorps financial statements. However, due to the significant
uncertainties involved in these legal matters, BankAtlantic Bancorp may incur losses in excess of
accrued amounts and an adverse outcome in these matters could be material to BankAtlantic Bancorps
financial statements.
The following is a description of the ongoing litigation and regulatory matters:
Class action securities litigation
In October 2007, BankAtlantic Bancorp and current or former officers of BankAtlantic Bancorp
were named in a lawsuit which alleged that during the period of November 9, 2005 through October
25, 2007, BankAtlantic Bancorp and the named officers knowingly and/or recklessly made
misrepresentations of material fact regarding BankAtlantic and specifically BankAtlantics loan
portfolio and allowance for loan losses. The Complaint asserted claims for violations of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 and sought unspecified damages. On November 18,
2010, a jury returned a verdict awarding $2.41 per share to shareholders who purchased shares of
BankAtlantic Bancorps Class A Common Stock during the period of April 26, 2007 to October 26, 2007
who retained those shares until the end of the period. The jury rejected the plaintiffs claim for
the six month period from October 19, 2006 to April 25, 2007. Prior to the beginning of the trial,
the plaintiffs abandoned any claim for any prior period. On April 25, 2011, the Court granted
defendants post-trial motion for judgment as a matter of law and vacated the jury verdict,
resulting in a judgment in favor of all defendants on all claims. The plaintiffs have appealed
the Courts order setting aside the jury verdict.
In July 2008, BankAtlantic Bancorp, certain officers and Directors were named in a lawsuit
which alleged that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties by engaging in certain
lending practices with respect to BankAtlantic Bancorps Commercial Real Estate Loan Portfolio. The
Complaint further alleged that BankAtlantic Bancorps public filings and statements did not fully
disclose the risks associated with the Commercial Real Estate Loan Portfolio and seeks damages on
behalf of BankAtlantic Bancorp. In July 2011, the case was dismissed and the parties exchanged
mutual releases and neither the individual defendants nor BankAtlantic Bancorp will make any
monetary payments.
Class Action Overdraft Processing Litigation
In November 2010, the two pending class action complaints against BankAtlantic associated with
overdraft fees were consolidated. The Complaint, which asserts claims for breach of contract and
breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing, alleges that BankAtlantic improperly
re-sequenced debit card transactions from largest to smallest, improperly assessed overdraft fees
on positive balances, and improperly imposed sustained overdraft fees on customers. BankAtlantic
has filed a motion to dismiss which is pending with the Court.
52
Table of Contents
Office of Thrift Supervision Overdraft Processing Examination
As previously disclosed, the Office of Thrift Supervision advised BankAtlantic that it had
determined that BankAtlantic had engaged in deceptive and unfair practices in violation of Section
5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act relating to certain of BankAtlantics deposit-related
products. On June 2, 2011, the OTS concluded that BankAtlantic engaged in certain deceptive and
unfair practices in violation of Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act and OTS regulations,
and requested that BankAtlantic submit a restitution plan for OTSs consideration. The OTS also
advised BankAtlantic that BankAtlantic could be subject to civil money penalties. BankAtlantic
believes it has complied with all applicable laws and OTS guidelines and on July 5, 2011,
BankAtlantic filed an appeal of the OTS positions. That appeal is now before the OCC which will
review the issues under its process and guidelines.
Securities and Exchange Commission Investigation
BankAtlantic Bancorp has received a notice of investigation from the Securities and Exchange
Commission, (SEC) Miami Regional Office and subpoenas for information. The subpoenas requested a
broad range of documents relating to, among other matters, recent and pending litigation to which
BankAtlantic Bancorp is or was a party, certain of BankAtlantic Bancorps non-performing,
non-accrual and charged-off loans, BankAtlantic Bancorps cost saving measures, loan
classifications, BankAtlantic Bancorps asset workout subsidiary, and the recent Orders with the
OTS entered into by BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company and BankAtlantic. Various current and
former employees also received subpoenas for documents and testimony.
The Miami regional office staff of the SEC has indicated that it is recommending that the SEC
bring a civil action against BankAtlantic Bancorp alleging that BankAtlantic Bancorp violated
certain provisions of federal securities laws, including Section 10(b) of the Securities and
Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. BankAtlantic Bancorp has also been informed that
its chief executive officer received a similar communication. In communications between
BankAtlantic Bancorps counsel and the Miami regional office staff, BankAtlantic Bancorp has
learned that the basis for the recommended actions were many of the same arguments brought in the
private class action securities litigation recently concluded at the district court level in favor
of BankAtlantic Bancorp and the individual defendants. In addition, the Miami regional office
staff raised issues relating to the classification and valuation of certain loans included in
BankAtlantic Bancorps financial information for the last quarter of 2007 and in its annual report
on Form 10-K for the 2007 fiscal year. BankAtlantic Bancorp and its CEO responded to the issues
raised by the Miami regional office staff in June 2011. If litigation is brought, the SEC may
seek remedies including an injunction against future violations of federal securities laws, civil
money penalties and an officer and director bar. BankAtlantic Bancorp believes that it has
fulfilled all of its obligations under securities laws and, if such actions are brought by the SEC
against BankAtlantic Bancorp and/or any of its officers, such actions would be vigorously defended.
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 borrowers 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 borrowers ability to
meet the debt service on or repay the loan and lead to increased defaults and losses. At June 30,
2011, BankAtlantics residential loan portfolio included $454.5 million of interest-only loans,
which represents 42.8% of the residential loan portfolio Interest-only residential loans scheduled
to become fully amortizing during the six months ended December 31, 2011 and during the year ended
December 31, 2012 total $24.7 million and $52.1 million, respectively. If market conditions in the
areas where the collateral for BankAtlantics residential loans is located do not improve or
deteriorate further, or the borrowers are not in a position to make the increased payments due
under the terms of their loans, BankAtlantic may be exposed to additional losses in this portfolio.

16. Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions
BFC is the controlling shareholder of BankAtlantic Bancorp and Bluegreen. Woodbridge Holdings
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 BFCs
Class A and Class B Common Stock representing a majority of BFCs total voting power are owned or
controlled by the Companys Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Alan B. Levan, and by
the Companys Vice Chairman, John E. Abdo, both of whom are also directors of Bluegreen and
Benihana, and executive officers and directors of BankAtlantic Bancorp and BankAtlantic. In
addition, Jarett S. Levan, the son of Alan B. Levan, is a director and executive officer of the
Company, BankAtlantic Bancorp and BankAtlantic.
The following table presents related party transactions relating to the shared service
arrangements between BFC, BankAtlantic Bancorp and Bluegreen for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2011 and 2010. All amounts were eliminated in consolidation.

BFC also pays BankAtlantic for information technology related services pursuant to a separate agreement. For information technology related services, BFC paid BankAtlantic approximately $36,000 and $45,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $52,000 and $90,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. |
As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had cash and cash equivalents accounts
at BankAtlantic with balances of approximately $943,000 million and $1.8 million, respectively.
These accounts were on the same general terms as deposits made by unaffiliated third parties. The
Company recognized nominal interest income in connection with these funds held at BankAtlantic
during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.
In June 2010, BankAtlantic Bancorp and BankAtlantic 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. Under the terms of the agreement, BFC receives a monthly fee of $12,500 from each of
BankAtlantic and BankAtlantic Bancorp and, if BFCs efforts result in net recoveries of any
non-performing loan or the sale of real estate owned, BFC will receive a fee equal to 1% of the net
value recovered. During each of the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, BFC recognized an
aggregate of $0.2 million of real estate advisory service fees under this agreement. Real estate
advisory service fees during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were approximately $0.3
million and $0.2 million, respectively.

Table of Contents
During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, Bluegreen reimbursed the Company
approximately $0.1 million and $0.7 million, respectively, for certain expenses incurred in
assisting Bluegreen in its efforts to explore potential additional sources of liquidity.
Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, Bluegreen paid Snapper Creek, a
subsidiary of the Company, approximately $0.4 million and $0.9 million, respectively, in
consideration for its provision of a variety of management advisory services. We also have an
agreement with Bluegreen relating to the maintenance of different independent registered public
accounting firms. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, Bluegreen reimbursed us for $0.5
million of fees related to certain procedures performed by our
independent registered public accounting firm, at Bluegreen as part of its 2010 audit of our
financial statements.
In 2009, Bluegreen entered into a land lease with Benihana, which constructed and operates a
restaurant at one of Bluegreens resort properties. Bluegreen receives lease payments from
Benihana of approximately $0.1 million annually.
BankAtlantic Bancorp in prior periods issued options to acquire shares of BankAtlantic
Bancorps Class A Common Stock to employees of BFC. Additionally, employees of BankAtlantic Bancorp
have transferred to affiliate companies and BankAtlantic Bancorp has elected, in accordance with
the terms of BankAtlantic Bancorps stock option plans, not to cancel the stock options held by
those former employees. BankAtlantic Bancorp also issues options and restricted stock awards to

and 1991. BFC is required to repay this obligation as settlement holders submit their claims to
BFC.
19. Litigation
There have been no material changes in the legal proceedings to which BFC and its wholly owned
subsidiaries (including Woodbridge and its subsidiaries) are subject from those previously
disclosed in Note 37 to our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and in Note 20 to our unaudited consolidated
financial statements included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for quarter ended March 31,
2011. See Note 15 in this report for information relating to BankAtlantic Bancorps and Bluegreens
material claims or proceedings.
20. New Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Standards Update (ASU) Number 2011-05 Comprehensive Income (Topic 220):
Presentation of Comprehensive Income (ASU 2011-05). ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present
the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders
equity; requires the consecutive presentation of the statement of net income and other
comprehensive income; and requires an entity to present reclassification adjustments on the face
of the financial statements from other comprehensive income to net income. ASU 2011-05 does not
change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of
other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. The effective date of ASU
2011-05 is for the first interim period beginning after December 15, 2011, and must be applied
retrospectively. We believe that the adoption of this guidance will not impact the Companys
financial statements, as ASU 2011-05 only requires enhanced disclosure.
ASU Number 2011-04 Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair
Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (ASU 2011-04). The
amendments in
58
Table of Contents
ASU 2011-04 clarify the FASBs intent regarding the highest and best use valuation
premise and also provide guidance on measuring the fair value of an instrument classified in
shareholders equity, the treatment of premiums and discounts in fair value measurement and
measuring fair value of financial instruments that are managed within a portfolio. ASU 2011-04
also expands the disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements, including a
requirement to disclose valuation processes and sensitivity of the fair value measurement to
changes in unobservable inputs for fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair
value hierarchy and categorization by level of the fair value hierarchy for items that are not
measured at fair value in the statement of financial position but for which the fair value is
required to be disclosed. The effective date of ASU 2011-04 is for the first interim period
beginning after December 15, 2011, and early application is not permitted. The Company is
evaluating the expected impact of the adoption of ASU 2011-04 on the Companys financial
statements.
ASU Number 2011-02 A Creditors Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt
Restructuring (ASU 2011-02"). During April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-02 which amends guidance
for evaluating whether the restructuring of a receivable by a creditor is a troubled debt
restructuring (a TDR). ASU 2011-02 responds to concerns that creditors are inconsistently
applying existing guidance for identifying TDRs. The main provision of ASU 2011-02 will require a
creditor to separately conclude whether the restructuring constitutes a concession and whether the
debtor is experiencing financial difficulties, in order to determine if a restructuring constitutes
a TDR. Guidance is also provided to assist the creditor in evaluating these two criteria. ASU
2011-02 also clarifies that a creditor is precluded from using the effective interest rate test, as
described in the debtors guidance on restructuring payables, when evaluating whether a
restructuring constitutes a TDR. ASU 2011-02 will become effective beginning with the quarterly
period ending September 30, 2011. Retrospective application is required for any restructurings
occurring on or after January 1, 2011 for purposes of identifying and disclosing TDRs. However, an
entity should apply prospectively changes in the method used to calculate impairment on
receivables. At the same time that we adopt ASU 2011-02, we will be required to disclose any
activity-based information about TDRs that was previously deferred by ASU No. 2011-01, Deferral of
the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings. The adoption of ASU 2011-02
is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
Results of Operations
Overview
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), and a non-controlling interest in Benihana Inc. (Benihana).
BFC also holds interests in other investments and subsidiaries, as described herein. As a result of
its position as the controlling shareholder of BankAtlantic Bancorp, BFC is a unitary savings bank
holding company and BFC was historically examined and regulated by the Office of Thrift
Supervision (OTS). However, effective July 21, 2011, pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street
Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the Dodd-Frank Act), the OTS supervisory authority is now
held by, and BFC is subject to the supervision of, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System (the Federal Reserve Board).
As of June 30, 2011, we had total consolidated assets of approximately $5.0 billion and
shareholders equity attributable to BFC of approximately $126.9 million.
Historically, BFCs business strategy has been to invest in and acquire businesses in diverse
industries either directly or through controlled subsidiaries. However, BFC believes that the
Companys and its shareholders interests are currently best served by BFC providing strategic
support to its existing investments. In furtherance of this strategy, since 2009 the Company has
taken several steps, including those described below, which it believes will enhance the Companys
prospects:
| During the third quarter of 2009, BFC and Woodbridge Holdings Corporation consummated their merger pursuant to which Woodbridge Holdings Corporation merged into Woodbridge Holdings, LLC (Woodbridge), a wholly-owned subsidiary of BFC. Woodbridge is the parent company of Core Communities, LLC (Core or Core Communities) and Carolina Oak Homes, LLC (Carolina Oak). | ||
| In 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. | ||
| We have also increased our investment in BankAtlantic Bancorp through our participation in BankAtlantic Bancorps rights offerings to its shareholders during 2009, 2010 and 2011, which in the aggregate increased our economic interest in BankAtlantic Bancorp to 53% and our voting interest in BankAtlantic Bancorp to 75%. | ||
| We exited the land development business operated by Core Communities and sold substantially all of the associated commercial assets. Through a combination of transactions with Cores lenders, we realized a reduction in debt of approximately $186 million in 2010 with a further reduction of approximately $27 million anticipated to occur during the fourth quarter of 2011. The Company also eliminated substantially all of the ongoing expenses associated with Core. | ||
| During April 2011, Woodbridge and Carolina Oak entered into a settlement agreement to resolve the disputes and litigation between them and a note holder relating to an approximately $37.2 million loan which was collateralized by property owned by Carolina Oak. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, (i) Woodbridge paid $2.5 million to the note holder, (ii) Carolina Oak conveyed to the note holder the real property securing the loan and (iii) the note holder agreed not to pursue certain remedies, including a deficiency judgment, and after the expiration of an agreed-upon time period, to fully release Woodbridge and Carolina Oak, in each case subject to certain conditions. | ||
| On May 20, 2011 and July 15, 2011, we converted an aggregate of 300,000 shares of Benihana Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (Convertible Preferred Stock) into 595,049 shares of Benihanas Common Stock. These conversions were effected to facilitate shareholder approval of Benihanas current proposal to reclassify each share of its Class A Common Stock into one share of its Common Stock, as described below. |
In the future, depending on market conditions and other factors considered by our Board of
Directors, we may renew efforts to pursue strategic growth and consider other opportunities that
could change our ownership in our affiliates or seek to make investments outside of our existing
portfolio. 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
60
Table of Contents
evaluate various financing transactions that may present themselves,
including raising debt or equity as well as other alternative sources of new capital.
As previously announced, during July 2010, Benihana announced its intention to engage in a
formal review of strategic alternatives, including a possible sale of the company. In May 2011,
Benihana terminated the possible sale process of the company and approved strategic alternatives,
which included a proposal to reclassify each share of Benihanas Class A Common Stock into one
share of Benihanas Common Stock, thereby eliminating Benihanas dual-class common stock structure.
The above proposal is subject to the approval of Benihanas stockholders. BFC strongly supports
Benihanas reclassification proposal and BFC intends to vote all shares of Benihanas stock owned
or controlled by it in favor of the reclassification.
Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) require 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 BFCs financial
statements. However, except as otherwise noted, the debts and obligations of the consolidated
entities, including BankAtlantic Bancorp, Bluegreen and Woodbridge, are not direct obligations of
BFC and are non-recourse to BFC. Similarly, the assets of those entities are not available to BFC
absent 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, 2011, we had an approximately 52% ownership and voting interest in Bluegreen
and an approximately 53% ownership interest and 75% voting interest in BankAtlantic Bancorp.
Our business activities currently consist of (i) Real Estate and Other and (ii) Financial
Services. Since our acquisition of a controlling interest in Bluegreen during November 2009, we
have reported the results of our business activities through six segments. Four of the segments
relate to our Real Estate and Other business activities. These segments are: BFC Activities; Real
Estate Operations; and Bluegreen Resorts and Bluegreen Communities, the two segments through which
Bluegreens business was historically conducted. Our other two segments BankAtlantic and
BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company relate to our Financial Services business activities and
include BankAtlantic Bancorps results of operations.
On March 24, 2011, Bluegreen announced that it had engaged advisors to explore strategic
alternatives for Bluegreen Communities. In connection with that process, Bluegreens Board of
Directors made a determination during June 2011 to seek to sell Bluegreen Communities or all or
substantially all of its assets. As a consequence, it was determined that Bluegreen Communities met
the criteria for classification as a discontinued operation and, accordingly, Bluegreen Communities
is accounted for as a discontinued operation for all periods in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements. Bluegreen recently entered into a non-binding letter of intent with a third
party contemplating the sale of Bluegreen Communities, or a similar transaction. However, as of
the date of this filing, Bluegreen had not entered into any definitive agreement or agreements with
respect to the sale of Bluegreen Communities or its assets, and Bluegreen may not be successful in
its efforts to consummate any such sale or sales.
See Note 4 of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for further
information regarding the classification of Bluegreen Communities as a discontinued operation and
the results of discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010,
and Note 14 of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for additional
information about our operating segments.
Forward Looking Statements
Except for historical information contained herein, the matters discussed in this
document contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the Exchange Act), that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. When used
herein, the words anticipate, believe, estimate, may, intend, expect and similar
expressions identify certain of such forward-looking statements. Actual results, performance, or
achievements could differ materially from those contemplated, expressed, or implied by the
forward-looking statements contained herein. These forward-looking statements are based largely on
our expectations and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that are subject to change
based on factors which are, in many instances, beyond our control. When considering those
forward-looking statements, the reader should keep in mind the risks, uncertainties and other
cautionary statements made in this report. The reader should not place undue reliance on any
forward-looking statement, which speaks only as of the date made. This document also
contains information regarding the past performance of our investments and the reader should
note that prior or
61
Table of Contents
current performance of investments is not a guarantee or indication of future
performance.
Some factors which may affect the accuracy of the forward-looking statements apply generally
to the financial services, real estate, resort development and vacation ownership, and restaurant
industries, while other factors apply more specifically to us. Risks and uncertainties associated
with BFC, including its wholly-owned Woodbridge subsidiary, include, but are not limited to:
| BFC has negative cash flow and limited sources of cash which may present risks to its ongoing operations; | ||
| risks associated with BFCs current business strategy, including the risk that BFC will not be in a position to provide strategic support to its affiliated entities or that such support will not achieve the anticipated benefits; | ||
| the impact of economic, competitive and other factors affecting the Company and its subsidiaries, and their operations, markets, products and services; | ||
| the risk that creditors of the Companys subsidiaries or other third parties may seek to recover distributions or dividends made by such subsidiaries or other amounts owed by such subsidiaries from their respective parent companies, including BFC; | ||
| BFCs shareholders interests may be diluted if additional shares of BFCs common stock are issued, and BFCs public company investments may be diluted if BankAtlantic Bancorp, Bluegreen or Benihana issue additional shares of its stock; | ||
| adverse conditions in the stock market, the public debt market and other capital markets and the impact of such conditions on the activities of the Company and its subsidiaries; | ||
| the impact of the recent economic downturn on the Company and the price and liquidity of its common stock and on BFCs ability to obtain additional capital, including the risk that if BFC needs or otherwise believes it is advisable to issue debt or equity securities to fund its operations, it may not be possible to issue any such securities on favorable terms, if at all; | ||
| strategic alternatives being evaluated by entities in which the Company has investments may not ultimately be pursued or consummated or, if consummated, result in the benefits expected to be achieved; | ||
| the performance of entities in which the Company has made investments may not be profitable or their results as anticipated; | ||
| BFC is dependent upon dividends from its subsidiaries to fund its operations; BankAtlantic Bancorp is currently prohibited from paying dividends and may not be in a position to pay dividends in the future, whether as a result of such restrictions continuing in the future or otherwise; Bluegreen has historically not paid dividends on its common stock and its ability to pay dividends may be limited by the terms of certain of its indebtedness; | ||
| Future dividends from Benihana with repect to its Convertible Preferred Stock will be less than historical amounts due to our recent conversion of 300,000 shares of the 800,000 shares of such stock that we owned and may be distributed directly to holders of our preferred stock if we do not pay the required qualifying dividends of such stock, the payment of which currently requires the prior written non-objection of the Federal Reserve Board; | ||
| the uncertainty regarding the amount of cash that will be required to be paid to Woodbridge shareholders who exercised appraisal rights in connection with Woodbridges merger with BFC; | ||
| the risk that final releases relating to the resolution of certain Woodbridge indebtedness may not be obtained; | ||
| risks associated with the securities we hold directly or indirectly, including the risk that we may be required to record impairment charges with respect to such securities; | ||

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 changes in subsequent periods relate to the determination of the allowance for loan
losses, the valuation of real estate and its impairment reserves, evaluation of goodwill and other
intangible assets for impairment, the valuation of securities, as well as the determination of
other-than-temporary declines in value, the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with
foreclosure or in satisfaction of loans, revenue and cost recognition on percent complete
projects, estimated costs to complete construction, the valuation of the fair value of assets and
liabilities in the application of the acquisition method of accounting, the amount of 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
receivable; (ii) the valuation of retained interests in notes receivable sold and the related
gains on sales of notes receivable; (iii) the valuation of Bluegreens notes receivable which for
accounting purposes are treated as having been acquired by BFC;
(iv) impairment of long-lived assets including real estate owned
and goodwill; (v) the valuation of securities as well as the determination of
other-than-temporary declines in value; (vi) accounting for business combinations; (vii) the
valuation of real estate; (viii) revenue and cost recognition on percentage-of- completion
projects; (ix) estimated cost to complete construction; (x) accounting for deferred tax asset
valuation allowance; and (xi) 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, 2010.

Revisions to Consolidated Financial Statements On November 16, 2009, we purchased an
additional 7.4 million shares of Bluegreens common stock. This share purchase increased our
ownership interest in Bluegreen to approximately 16.9 million shares, or approximately 52%, of
Bluegreens outstanding common stock. Accordingly, we are deemed to have a controlling interest in
Bluegreen and, under GAAP, Bluegreens results are consolidated in our financial statements. The
Company accounted for the acquisition of a controlling interest in Bluegreen in accordance with the
accounting guidance for business combinations, pursuant to which we were required to evaluate the
fair value of Bluegreens assets and liabilities as of the acquisition date. As previously
disclosed, the allocation of the purchase price was based on preliminary estimates of the fair
value of Bluegreens inventory and contracts, and was subject to change within the measurement
period as valuations were finalized. Additionally, any offset relating to amortization/accretion
was also retrospectively adjusted in the appropriate periods. As discussed in the Companys Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, during the fourth quarter of 2010, the
Company finalized its valuations and adjusted the preliminary values assigned to the assets and
liabilities of Bluegreen in order to reflect additional information obtained since the November 16,
2009 share acquisition date. These changes resulted in the following adjustments at December 31,
2009: a decrease in real estate inventory of approximately $6.9 million; an increase in other
assets of approximately $3.5 million; an increase in other liabilities of approximately $4.1
million; and a decrease in deferred income taxes of approximately $7.1 million. Such adjustments
resulted in a decrease to the bargain purchase gain related to the share acquisition for the year
ended December 31, 2009 from $183.1 million to $182.8 million. The Companys Consolidated
Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 were revised to reflect
the impact of the amortization/accretion associated with the above adjustments which resulted in a
decrease to the net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 of approximately $188,000
and $276,000, respectively, compared to the previously reported amounts.
Additionally, during the fourth quarter of 2010, management identified certain errors in its
previously reported financial statements for 2010 and 2009. Because these errors were not material
to the Companys financial statements for 2010 or 2009, individually or in the aggregate, the
Company revised its previously reported 2010 first, second and third quarter financial statements
and its 2009 annual financial statements. These adjustments related to the following: the
recognition of interest income associated with the notes receivable which for accounting purposes
are treated as having been acquired by BFC in accordance with the accounting guidance Loans and
Debt Securities with Deteriorated Credit Quality; an adjustment to the provision for loan losses
for these notes receivable; interest expense recognition for notes payable of certain defaulted
debt at Woodbridges subsidiaries, Core Communities, LLC (Core or Core Communities) and
Carolina Oak Homes, LLC (Carolina Oak), at the defaulted interest rate, where the stated interest
rate was previously used; the recognition of income tax benefits associated with unrealized gains
in accumulated other comprehensive income; and an adjustment to deferred taxes related to an
impairment to real estate inventory which was reflected after November 16, 2009 and accounted for
as a temporary difference, which should have been included in the determination of deferred taxes
at the acquisition date, as part of the Bluegreen purchase price allocation.
The Companys financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 contained
herein reflect the adjustments and revisions described above. The Company will present the impact
of these adjustments and revisions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 in its
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending
September 30, 2011, in which they will be
disclosed as comparable periods. The quarterly period adjustments and revisions were previously
disclosed in Note 40 to the Companys audited consolidated financial statements included in the
Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and, with respect to the
adjustments for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, in the Companys Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
relating to such quarter.

Consolidated Financial Condition
Consolidated Assets and Liabilities
Total assets at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were $5.0 billion and $5.8 billion,
respectively. The significant asset reduction resulted primarily from the sale of BankAtlantics
Tampa branches and the related assumption of deposits by the purchaser and from the repayment of
wholesale borrowings at BankAtlantic. Total assets were also reduced at BankAtlantic Bancorp as
part of efforts to achieve higher capital requirements required by the Bank Order by June 30,
2011. The primary changes in components of total assets are summarized below:
| an increase in cash and cash equivalents primarily due to BankAtlantic Bancorps higher non-interest cash balances at the FHLB; | ||
| a decrease in interest-bearing deposits in other banks primarily reflecting cash outflows as part of the sale of BankAtlantics Tampa branches; | ||
| a decrease in securities available for sale reflecting BankAtlantic Bancorps receipts of repayments of short-term agency and municipal securities as well as mortgage-backed securities repayments; | ||
| a decrease in BankAtlantic Bancorps tax certificate balances primarily relating to redemptions, partially offset by $11.0 million of Florida tax certificate purchases; | ||
| a decline in FHLB stock balances resulting from redemptions relating to the repayment of FHLB advances; | ||
| an increase in BankAtlantic Bancorps loans held for sale primarily associated with the transfer of non-performing residential loans to held for sale; | ||
| a decrease in BankAtlantic Bancorps loans receivable balances associated with $54.4 million of net-charge-offs, $25.0 million of loans transferred to real estate owned, $27.8 million of loan sales, and repayments of loans in the ordinary course of business; | ||
| a decrease in BankAtlantic Bancorps accrued interest receivables resulting primarily from lower loan and tax certificate balances; and | ||
| a reduction in assets held for sale resulted from the sale of BankAtlantics Tampa branches to PNC. The decrease in total assets also includes a $52.7 million decrease in the carrying value of the assets related to Bluegreen Communities to write down the assets to their estimated fair value less cost to sell. As discussed elsewhere in this report, Bluegreen Communities met the criteria for classification as discontinued operations. Accordingly, the operating results of Bluegreen Communities are included in discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations, and the majority of the assets related to Bluegreen Communities are presented separately on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as assets held for sale from discontinued operations |
Total liabilities at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were $4.8 billion and $5.6 billion,
respectively. The primary changes in components of total liabilities are summarized below:
| a decrease in BankAtlantics interest bearing deposit account balances associated with the prepayment of $110 million of institutional and public fund time deposits; | ||
| an increase in BankAtlantics non-interest bearing deposits due primarily to higher average balances per customer account and the transfer of $12.2 million of customer reverse repurchase agreements to non-interest bearing deposits; | ||
| a decrease in deposits held for sale associated with the sale of BankAtlantics Tampa branches; | ||
| lower FHLB advances and short term borrowings at BankAtlantic due to repayments; | ||
| a decrease of $11.3 million in the deferred gain on debt settlement which was recognized into income upon Core receiving a general release of liability during the three months ended March 31, 2011; | ||
| an increase in the deferred gain on debt settlement of $29.9 million at June 30, 2011 related to the debt settlement of Carolina Oak, which will be recognized into income at the earlier of the conclusion of the related foreclosure proceeding or April 24, 2012; and | ||
| an increase in BankAtlantic Bancorps junior subordinated debentures liability due to interest deferrals. |

BFC Activities
BFC Activities
The BFC Activities segment consists of BFC operations, dividends from our investment in
Benihanas Convertible Preferred Stock, and other operations of Woodbridge. 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 BFCs shared service operations
which provides human resources, risk management, investor relations and executive office
administration services to BankAtlantic Bancorp and Bluegreen. This segment also includes
investments made by our wholly owned subsidiary, BFC/CCC, Inc (BFC/CCC). Woodbridges other
operations include the activities of Pizza Fusion Holdings, Inc. (Pizza Fusion) and Snapper Creek
Equity Management, LLC, as well as certain other investments.
The discussion that follows reflects the operations and related matters of BFC Activities (in

Other revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 are related to
franchise revenues generated by Pizza Fusion.
The decrease in interest expense primarily resulted from lower interest rates. No interest was
capitalized during the three or six months ended June 30, 2011 or 2010.
The decrease in general and administrative expenses of approximately $1.9 million and $3.0
million during the three and six months ended June 30 2011, respectively, compared to the same
periods in 2010 was primarily due to a decline in employee compensation and benefits, which
primarily resulted from workforce reductions and lower bonuses. Additional declines in general and
administrative expenses were due to lower franchise and contract fees due to Pizza Fusion store
closures. This was offset in part by higher legal fees and professional fees incurred in 2011.
The increase in equity in earnings from unconsolidated affiliates of approximately $1.4
million during the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 was primarily
due to the recognition of the negative basis of an investment in BFC/CCCs wholly-owned subsidiary
of approximately $1.3 million. BFC/CCCs wholly-owned subsidiary had a 10% interest in a limited
liability company that owned two commercial properties in Hillsborough County, Florida which served
as collateral for an approximately $26.0 million loan to the limited liability company. In
connection with the purchase of the commercial properties in November 2006, BFC and the
unaffiliated member of the limited liability company each guaranteed the payment of up to a maximum
of $5.0 million for certain environmental indemnities and specific obligations that were not
related to the financial performance of the properties. BFC and the unaffiliated member also
entered into a cross indemnification agreement which limited BFCs obligations under the guarantee
to acts of BFC and its affiliates. On March 25, 2011, the limited liability company reached a
settlement with its lender, pursuant to which it has conveyed the commercial properties securing
the loan via a deed in lieu of foreclosure. BFC and BFC/CCCs wholly-owned subsidiary were released
from all obligations and guarantees related to the two commercial properties. During the first
quarter of 2011, BFC recognized the negative basis of its investment of approximately $1.3 million.
68
Table of Contents
BFC Activities
The increase in income tax benefit during the second quarter of 2010 was due to the
recognition of a tax benefit of approximately $5.4 million resulting from an expected additional
tax refund due to a 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 subsidiary and is subject to change pending a final review of the $5.4 million
expected tax refund by the IRS.
2008 Step acquisitions Purchase Accounting
During 2008, BFC purchased an aggregate of 723,848 shares of BankAtlantic Bancorps Class A
Common Stock on the open market. The shares purchased 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 date of acquisition. The discounts and premiums
arising as a result of such revaluation 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 and six
months ended June 30, 2011 by approximately $356,000 and $516,000, respectively. The net impact
also 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.
BFC Activities- Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term
investments totaling approximately $7 million and $29 million, respectively. The decrease in cash,
cash equivalents and short-term investments was due to the purchase of 13.3 million shares of
BankAtlantic Bancorps Class A Common Stock in BankAtlantic Bancorps 2011 rights offering for
approximately $10 million, as described below, BFCs operating and general and administrative
expenses of approximately $6.4 million, junior subordinated debentures interest payments of
approximately $2.6 million and $2.5 million payment to the note holder in connection with a
settlement agreement, as discussed below.
Except as otherwise noted, the debts and obligations of BankAtlantic Bancorp, Bluegreen and
Woodbridge 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. BFCs principal sources of liquidity are its available cash, including tax refunds
received as a result of tax law changes, short-term investments, and dividends from Benihana on our
holdings of its convertible preferred stock. In addition, dividends we receive from Benihana in
the future will be less than historical amounts due to our conversion of an aggregate of 300,000
shares out of a total of 800,000 shares of Benihanas convertible preferred stock during May and
July 2011. However, the holders of our preferred stock may have the right to receive such
dividends from Benihana in our place if the Federal Reserve Board does not consent to our payment
of dividends on our preferred stock or we otherwise fail to satisfy such obligation. W also expect
to receive an additional $7.5 million tax refund, net of amounts payable under the settlement
agreement related to the bankruptcy filing of Levitt and Sons LLC and substantially all of its
subsidiaries, as discussed in Note 15 of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial
Statements.
We expect to 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. 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 years ended December 31, 2010 or 2009, or
during the six months ended June 30, 2011.
During June 2011, BFC acquired an aggregate of 13.3 million shares of BankAtlantic Bancorps
Class A Common Stock in connection with the exercise of subscriptions rights granted to it in
BankAtlantic Bancorps rights offering (the 2011 Rights Offering). The aggregate purchase price
for the 13.3 million shares purchased was $10.0 million. The shares acquired in the 2011 Rights
Offering increased BFCs ownership interest in BankAtlantic Bancorp by approximately 8% to 53% and
BFCs voting interest in BankAtlantic Bancorp by approximately 5% to 75%.

BFC Activities
Since March 2009, BFC has not received cash dividends from BankAtlantic Bancorp. BankAtlantic
Bancorp is currently prohibited from paying dividends on its common stock without first receiving
the written non-objection of the OTS. In addition, during February 2009, BankAtlantic Bancorp
elected to exercise its right to defer payments of interest on its trust preferred junior
subordinated debt. BankAtlantic Bancorp is permitted to defer quarterly interest payments for up to
20 consecutive quarters. During the deferral period, BankAtlantic Bancorp is prohibited from paying
dividends to its shareholders, including BFC. While BankAtlantic Bancorp can end the deferral
period at any time, BankAtlantic Bancorp has indicated that it anticipates that it may continue to
defer such interest payments for the foreseeable future. Furthermore, BFC has not received cash
dividends from Bluegreen and does not expect to receive cash dividends from Bluegreen in the
foreseeable future. Certain of Bluegreens credit facilities contain terms which may limit the
payment of cash dividends, and Bluegreen may only pay dividends as declared by its Board of
Directors, a majority of whom are independent directors under the listing standards of the New York
Stock Exchange.
We believe that our current financial condition and credit relationships, together with
anticipated cash flows from other sources of funds, including tax refunds and, to the extent
determined to be advisable, proceeds from the disposition of properties or investments, will allow
us to meet our anticipated near-term liquidity needs. With respect to long-term liquidity
requirements, in addition to the foregoing, we may also, subject to the receipt of any regulatory
approval or non-objection, seek to raise funds through the incurrence of long-term secured or
unsecured indebtedness, the issuance of equity and/or debt securities or through the sale of
assets. However, these alternatives may not be available to us on attractive terms, or at all.
BFC, on a parent company only basis, had previously committed that it would not, without the
prior written non-objection of the OTS, (i) incur, issue, renew or roll over any current lines of
credit, guarantee the debt of any other entity or otherwise incur any additional debt, except as
contemplated by BFCs business plan or in connection with BankAtlantics compliance requirements
applicable to it; (ii) declare or make any dividends or other capital distributions other than
dividends payable on BFCs currently outstanding preferred stock of approximately $187,500 a
quarter or (iii) enter into any new agreements, contracts or arrangements or materially modify any
existing agreements, contracts or arrangements with BankAtlantic not consistent with past
practices. On June 30, 2011, the OTS advised BFC that it was not permitted to (i) incur or issue
any additional debt or debt securities, increase lines of credit or guarantee the debt of any other
entity, or (ii) make dividend payments on its preferred stock, in each case without the prior
written non-objection of the OTS. On July 21, 2011, BFC made a formal request to the Federal
Reserve Board, which now has the supervisory authority previously held by the OTS, for
non-objection to the payment of the dividend on its outstanding preferred stock.
On September 21, 2009, BFC and Woodbridge consummated their merger pursuant to which
Woodbridge merged with BFC. In connection with the merger, Dissenting Holders who collectively held
approximately 4.2 million shares of Woodbridges Class A Common Stock have 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 Woodbridges offer
of $1.10 per share and requested payment for their shares based on their respective fair value
estimates of Woodbridges 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, Woodbridges 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 will be required to be paid to the Dissenting Holders, which amount may be greater than the
$4.6 million that we have accrued.
During 2004, the Company purchased 800,000 shares of Benihana Convertible Preferred Stock
(Convertible Preferred Stock) for $25.00 per share. The Convertible Preferred Stock is
convertible into Benihanas Common Stock at a conversion price of $12.67 per share of Convertible
Preferred Stock, subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain defined
events. During May 2011 and July 2011, we converted an aggregate of 300,000 shares of Convertible
Preferred Stock into 595,049 shares of Benihanas Common Stock. These conversions were effected to
facilitate shareholder approval of Benihanas current proposal to reclassify each share of its
Class A Common Stock into one share of its Common Stock. BFC strongly supports Benihanas
reclassification proposal and BFC intends to vote all shares of Benihanas stock owned or
controlled by it in favor of the reclassification. The Convertible Preferred Stock is subject to
mandatory redemption at the original issue price of $25 per share ($12.5 million for the remaining
500,000 shares) plus accumulated dividends on July 2, 2014 unless the Company elects to extend the
mandatory redemption date to a later date not to extend beyond July 2, 2024. The Company receives
cumulative quarterly dividends on its shares of Benihanas Convertible Preferred Stock at an annual
rate equal to 5% or $1.25 per share, payable on the last day of each calendar quarter. As a result
70

BFC Activities
of the conversions, the dividend payments we receive from Benihana on the Convertible Preferred
Stock will be less than the amounts we have historically received. Based on the number of currently
outstanding shares of Benihanas capital stock, the 500,000 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock
currently held by us, if converted, together with the 595,049 shares of Benihanas Common Stock
currently held by us would represent in the aggregate an approximately 19% voting interest and an
approximately 9% economic interest in Benihana.
On June 21, 2004, the Company sold 15,000 shares of its 5% Preferred Stock to an investor
group in a private offering. The Companys 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 2011 to $1,000 per share for
the year 2015 and thereafter. The 5% Preferred Stock liquidation preference is equal to its stated
value of $1,000 per share plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends or an amount equal to the
applicable redemption price in a voluntary liquidation or winding up of the Company. Holders of the
5% Preferred Stock have no voting rights, except as provided by Florida law, and are entitled to
receive, when and as declared by the Companys Board of Directors, cumulative quarterly cash
dividends on each such share at a rate per annum of 5% of the stated value from the date of
issuance. 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 Companys 5% Preferred Stock. The amendment eliminated
the right of the holders of the 5% Preferred Stock to convert their shares of Preferred Stock into
shares of the Companys Class A Common Stock. The amendment also requires the Company to redeem
shares of the 5% Preferred Stock with the net proceeds it receives in the event (i) the Company
sells any of its shares of Benihanas Convertible Preferred Stock, (ii) the Company sells any
shares of Benihanas Common Stock received upon conversion of Benihanas 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 Benihanas Convertible
Preferred Stock owned by the Company or on the shares of Benihanas Common Stock received by the
Company upon conversion of Benihanas Convertible Preferred Stock. On July 21, 2011, BFC made a
formal request to the Federal Reserve Board, which now has the supervisory authority previously
held by the OTS, for non-objection to the payment of the dividend on its outstanding preferred
stock.
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. Woodbridge was the obligor under a $37.2 million loan that was collateralized by the Carolina
Oak property. During November 2009, the lender filed an action against Woodbridge and Carolina Oak
alleging default under a promissory note and breach of a guaranty related to the loan. During
December 2009, the OTS closed the lender and appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(the FDIC) as receiver. The FDIC subsequently sold the loan to an investor group (sometimes
referred to herein as the note holder). Effective April 26, 2011, Woodbridge and Carolina Oak
entered into a settlement agreement with the note holder to resolve the disputes and litigation
between them. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, (i) Woodbridge paid $2.5 million to the
note holder, (ii) Carolina Oak conveyed to the note holder the real property securing the loan and
(iii) the note holder agreed not to pursue certain remedies, including a deficiency judgment, and
after the expiration of an agreed-upon time, agreed to fully release Woodbridge and Carolina Oak,
in each case subject to certain conditions. At April 26, 2011, the carrying amount of Carolina
Oaks inventory was approximately $10.8 million. In accordance with the applicable accounting
guidance, the Company recorded a deferred gain on debt settlement of $29.9 million in its
Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of June 30, 2011. The deferred gain will be
recognized into income at the earlier of the conclusion of a foreclosure proceeding or April 25,
2012.
During June 2008, Woodbridge entered into a settlement agreement (the Settlement Agreement)
with the Debtors and the Joint Committee of Unsecured Creditors (the Joint Committee) appointed
in the Chapter 11 Cases relating to the voluntary bankruptcy petitions filed by Levitt and Sons and
substantially all of its subsidiaries during November 2007. . Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement,
as it was subsequently amended, Woodbridge agreed to (i) pay $8 million to the Debtors bankruptcy
estates (sometimes referred to herein as the Debtors Estate), (ii) place $4.5 million in a
release fund to be disbursed to third party creditors in exchange for a third party release and
injunction, (iii) make a $300,000 payment to a deposit holders fund and (iv) share a percentage of
any tax refund attributable to periods prior to the bankruptcy with the Debtors Estate. In
addition, Woodbridge agreed to waive and release substantially all of the claims it had against the
Debtors, including administrative expense claims through July 2008, and the Debtors (joined by the
Joint Committee) agreed to waive and release any claims they had against
71

Woodbridge and its affiliates. On February 20, 2009, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order
confirming a plan of liquidation jointly proposed by Levitt and Sons and the Joint Committee. That
order also approved the settlement pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, as amended. The Companys
liability related to the Settlement Agreement at each of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was
approximately $11.7 million, representing the portion of tax refund that will likely be required to
be shared with the Debtors Estate pursuant to the Settlement Agreement. As of June 30, 2011 and
December 31, 2010, $8.4 million of such $11.7 million portion of the tax refund to be paid to the
Debtors Estate was received and placed in an escrow account. The $8.4 million amount is included
as restricted cash in the Companys Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.
At June 30, 2009, a wholly-owned subsidiary of BFC/CCC had a 10% interest in a limited
partnership as a non-managing general partner. The partnership owns an office building located in
Boca Raton, Florida. In connection with the purchase of the office building in March 2006, BFC/CCC
guaranteed repayment of a portion of the non-recourse loan on the property on a joint and several
basis with the managing general partner. BFC/CCCs maximum exposure under this guarantee agreement
was $2.0 million (which was shared on a joint and several basis with the managing general partner).
In July 2009, BFC/CCCs wholly-owned subsidiary withdrew as a partner of the limited partnership
and transferred its 10% interest to an unaffiliated partner. In return, the partner to whom this
interest was assigned agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the release of BFC/CCC
from the guarantee. The partner was unable to secure such a release and that partner has agreed to
indemnify BFC/CCCs wholly-owned subsidiary for any losses that may arise under the guarantee after
the date of the assignment. No amounts are recorded in our financial statements at June 30, 2011 or
December 31, 2010 for this joint venture.
As described above, a wholly-owned subsidiary of BFC/CCC had a 10% interest in a limited
liability company that owned two commercial properties in Hillsborough County, Florida. On March
25, 2011, the limited liability company reached a settlement with its lender and conveyed the
commercial properties securing the loan via a deed in lieu of foreclosure. BFC and BFC/CCCs
wholly-owned subsidiary were released from all obligations and guarantees related to the two
commercial properties. As described above, during the first quarter of 2011, BFC recognized the
negative basis of its investment of approximately $1.3 million which is included in equity in
earnings from unconsolidated 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, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the carrying amount of this investment was
approximately $286,000 and $282,000, respectively, which is included in investments in
unconsolidated affiliates in the Companys 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 BFCs obligations under the guarantee to acts of BFC and its affiliates. No
amounts are recorded in the Companys financial statements at June 30, 2011 or December 31, 2010
for the obligations associated with this guarantee based on the potential indemnification by
unaffiliated members and the limit of the specific obligations to non-financial matters.

For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2011 Compared to the Same 2010 Period
During the three months ended June 30, 2010, Core sold approximately 8 acres, which generated
revenues of approximately $2.5 million. No sales were effected during the three months ended June
30, 2011. Other revenues recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2010 is comprised of
irrigation revenue earned at one of Cores five subsidiaries whose membership interests were
pledged as additional collateral in the debt settlement agreement with one of Cores lenders.
Cost of sales of real estate during the three months ended June 30, 2010 was primarily related
to the sales of real estate at Core.
Interest expense decreased to $835,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to
$3.2 million for the same period in 2010. The decrease was primarily due to the release of
approximately $149.5 million of debt as part of Carolina Oak and Cores settlement agreements with
their lenders.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $363,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 2011 from $1.8 million for the same period in 2010. The decrease was primarily a result of
the cessation of operations at Core.

Real Estate
For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 Compared to the Same 2010 Period
During the six months ended June 30, 2010, Core sold approximately 8 acres, which generated
revenues of approximately $2.5 million, and cost of sales related to the sale amounted to $2.2
million. No sales were effected during the six months ended June 30, 2011.
Other revenues recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2010 primarily consisted of rental
income from a tenant whose lease agreement expired in March 2010 and irrigation revenue earned at
one of Cores five subsidiaries whose membership interests were pledged as additional collateral in
the debt settlement agreement with one of Cores lenders.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $852,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 2011 from $4.5 million for the same 2010 period. The decrease was primarily a result of
the cessation of operations at Core.
Interest incurred totaled $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and $6.5 million
for the same 2010 period. The decrease was primarily due to the release of approximately $149.5
million of debt as part of Carolina Oak and Cores settlement agreements with their lenders. No
interest was capitalized during the six months ended June 30, 2011 or 2010.
Income from discontinued operations related to two of Cores commercial leasing projects, of
which $2.6 million related to the gain in connection with the sale of the projects in June 2010.
See Note 4 of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
Gain on settlement of investment in subsidiary of $11.3 million is attributable to the
deconsolidation of five of Cores subsidiaries, the membership interests in which were transferred
to one of Cores lenders upon settlement of $86.7 million in debt.
Real Estate Operations-Liquidity and Capital Resources
At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, Core had cash and cash equivalents of $138,000 and
$1.0 million, respectively.
During 2010, demand for residential and commercial inventory showed no signs of recovery,
particularly in the geographic regions where Cores properties were located. In early 2010,
Woodbridge made the decision to pursue an orderly liquidation of Core and worked cooperatively with
its various lenders to achieve that objective. During November 2010, Core entered into a
settlement agreement with one of its lenders, which had previously commenced actions seeking
foreclosure of mortgage loans totaling approximately $113.9 million collateralized by property in
Florida and South Carolina. Under the terms of the agreement, Core pledged additional collateral to
the lender consisting of membership interests in five of Cores subsidiaries and granted security
interests in the acreage owned by such subsidiaries in Port St. Lucie, Florida, substantially all
of which was undeveloped raw land. Core also agreed to an amendment of the complaint related to the
Florida foreclosure action to include this additional collateral and entered into consensual
judgments of foreclosure in both the Florida and South Carolina foreclosure actions. In
consideration therefor, the lender agreed not to enforce a deficiency judgment against Core and, in
February 2011, released Core from any other claims arising from or relating to the loans. As of
November 30, 2010, Core deconsolidated the five subsidiaries, the membership interests in which
were transferred to the lender upon entry of the consensual judgments of foreclosure. In
accordance with the accounting guidance for consolidation, the Company recorded a guarantee
obligation deferred gain on settlement of investment in subsidiary of $11.3 million in the
Companys Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of December 31, 2010. Core received its
general release of liability, and accordingly the deferred gain on settlement of investment in
subsidiary was recognized into income during the first quarter of 2011. Approximately $27.2 million
of the $113.9 million of mortgage loans described above is collateralized by property in South
Carolina which had an estimated carrying value of approximately $19.4 million at June 30, 2011.
This property is subject to separate foreclosure proceedings which are expected to occur during the
fourth quarter of 2011. While Core was released by the lender from any other claims relating to the
loans, the applicable accounting guidance requires that the $27.2 million of debt and associated
$19.4 million of collateral remain in Cores financial statements until the foreclosure proceedings
have been completed.

In December 2010, Core and one of its subsidiaries entered into agreements, including a Deed
in Lieu of
Foreclosure Agreement, with one of their lenders which resolved the foreclosure proceedings
relating to property at Tradition Hilton Head which served as collateral for a $25 million loan.
Pursuant to the agreements, Cores subsidiary transferred to the lender all of its rights to the
property which served as collateral for the loan as well as certain additional real and personal
property. The lender, in turn, released Core and its subsidiary from any claims arising from or
relating to the loan. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, this transaction was
accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring and, accordingly, a $13.0 million gain on debt
extinguishment was recognized in December 2010.

The timing of contractual payments for debt obligations assumes the exercise of all extensions available at our sole discretion. Long-term debt obligations and long-term debt obligations include defaulted loans totaling approximately $27.2 million as of June 30, 2011 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. | |
(2) | These amounts include 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.
Levitt and Sons, Woodbridges 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 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, 2011 and December 31, 2010, Woodbridge had $490,000 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. 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 the previous
accrued amount. 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 surety bond exposure in connection with
demands made by a municipality. Based on claims by the municipality on the bonds, the surety
requested that Woodbridge post a $4.0 million escrow deposit while the matter was being litigated
with the municipality and while Woodbridge did not believe that the municipality had the right to
demand payment under the bonds, Woodbridge complied with that request. In August 2010, a motion for
summary judgment was entered in Woodbridges favor terminating any obligations under the bonds. The
municipality has appealed the decision.

Bluegreen
The Companys consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011
and 2010 include the results of operations of Bluegreen Resorts, the operating segment of Bluegreen
engaged in the vacation ownership industry. Due to Bluegreens Board of Directors recent
determination to pursue the sale of Bluegreen Communities or all or substantially all of its
assets, the operating results of Bluegreen Communities are presented as discontinued operations for
all periods presented. See Note 4 of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for
information regarding the results of discontinued operations for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2011 and 2010. Bluegreen is a separate public company, and the following discussion is
derived from or includes disclosure prepared by Bluegreens management and included in its
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. Accordingly, unless noted to
the contrary or the context otherwise requires, references to the Company, we, us or our in
the following discussion are references to Bluegreen and its subsidiaries, and are not references
to BFC.
Bluegreens results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 reflect its continued
focus on fee-based service business and its efforts to achieve selling and marketing efficiencies
in its Bluegreen Resorts segment.
During the three months ended June 30, 2011
| Bluegreen generated free cash flow (cash flow from operating and investing activities) of $41.6 million. | ||
| VOI system-wide sales, which include sales of third-party developer inventory, totaled $79.1 million, and remained consistent with the $79.5 million generated during the three months ended June 30, 2010. | ||
| Bluegreens sales and marketing fee-based service business sold $27.0 million of third-party developer inventory and earned sales and marketing commissions of $18.3 million. Including Bluegreens resort management, resort title, construction management and other operations, Bluegreens total resort fee-based services revenues were $35.6 million, a 25% increase over the three months ended June 30, 2010. |
Bluegreen believes its fee-based service business enables Bluegreen to leverage its
management, sales and marketing, mortgage servicing, title and construction experience to generate
recurring revenues from third parties. Bluegreens provision of these services requires
significantly less capital investment than its traditional vacation ownership business. During the
three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, Bluegreen sold $27.0 million and $18.2 million,
respectively, of third-party inventory and earned sales and marketing commissions of approximately
$18.3 million and $12.1 million, respectively. Based on an allocation of its selling, marketing and
segment general and administrative expenses to these sales, Bluegreen believes it generated
approximately $4.6 million and $2.4 million pre-tax profits by providing these sales and marketing
fee-based services during the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. During the
six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, Bluegreen sold $43.9 million and $34.0 million,
respectively, of third-party inventory and earned sales and marketing commissions of approximately
$29.1 million and $22.3 million, respectively. Based on an allocation of our selling, marketing and
field general and administrative expenses to these sales, Bluegreen believes it generated
approximately $5.8 million and $3.2 million in pre-tax profits by providing these sales and
marketing fee-based services during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Additionally, consistent with Bluegreens initiatives to improve liquidity, during the three
and six months ended June 30, 2011, Bluegreen continued to focus on entering into VOI sales that
are paid in cash in full at the time of sale and encouraging larger down payments on financed
sales. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, including down payments received on financed
sales, 57% of Bluegreens VOI sales were paid in cash within approximately 30 days from the
contract date. Refer to the Liquidity and Capital Resources section below for additional
information.
Bluegreen has historically experienced and expects to continue to experience seasonal
fluctuations in its gross revenues and results of operations. This seasonality may result in
fluctuations in Bluegreen quarterly operating results. Although Bluegreen typically sees more
potential customers at its sales offices during the quarters ending in June and September, ultimate
recognition of the resulting sales during these periods may be delayed due to down payment
requirements for recognition of real estate sales under GAAP or due to the timing of development
and the requirement that Bluegreen uses the percentage-of-completion method of accounting.

Sales and Marketing
System-wide sales of VOIs. System-wide sales of VOIs include sales of our VOIs as well as sales of
VOIs owned by third parties. The sales of third party VOIs are transacted through the same selling
and marketing process we use to sell our VOI inventory. We earn commissions on such sales from
third parties. System-wide sales of VOIs during the three months ended June 30, 2011 were $79.1
million and $79.5 million for the same period in 2010. System-wide sales of VOIs were $137.6
million and $134.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
System-wide sales increased 2% during the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the same
period in 2010 due to a higher average sales price per transaction realized during the 2011 period.
Sales of VOIs. Sales of VOIs for Bluegreen Resorts were $45.3 and $60.0 million during the three
months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Sales of real estate for Bluegreen Resorts were
$81.7 million and $84.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Sales of VOIs represents sales of Bluegreen-owned VOIs, as adjusted by changes in sales deferred
under GAAP, the impact of estimated uncollectible VOI notes receivable on new loan originations,
and adjustments, if any, to allowance for loan losses of existing VOI loans, as further described
below.
VOI revenue is reduced by Bluegreens estimate of future uncollectible VOI notes receivable.
Estimated losses for uncollectible VOI notes receivable vary with the amount of financed sales
during the period and changes in its estimates of future note receivable performance for newly
originated loans and the future performance of our existing loan portfolio.
Cost of VOIs Sold. Cost of VOIs sold is the cost of Bluegreen VOI inventory which was sold during
the period and relieved from inventory. Cost of VOIs sold was $6.7 million and $8.4 million during
the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively and
represented 15% and 14%,
respectively, of sales of VOIs. During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, cost of VOIs
sold was $13.9 million and $11.2 million, respectively and represented 17% and 13%, respectively,
of sales of VOIs. Cost of VOIs varies between periods based on the sales volumes, the relative
costs of the specific VOIs sold in each respective period and the size of the point package of the
VOIs sold.

Fee-Based Sales Commission Revenue. Bluegreen earns commissions for the sales of third-party
inventory upon the closing of the respective sales transaction.
During the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, Bluegreen sold $27.0 million and $18.2
million, respectively, of third-party developer inventory and earned sales and marketing
commissions of $18.3 million and $12.1 million, respectively. Based on an allocation of our
selling, marketing and field general and administrative expenses to these sales, we believe we
generated approximately $4.6 million and $2.4 million in pre-tax profits from these sales and
marketing fee-based services during the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, Bluegreen sold $43.9 million and $34.0 million,
respectively, of third-party developer inventory and earned sales and marketing commissions of
$29.1 million and $22.3 million, respectively. Based on an allocation of our selling, marketing and
field general and administrative expenses to these sales, we believe we generated approximately
$5.8 million and $3.2 million in pre-tax profits by providing these sales and marketing fee-based
services during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
The increase in the sales of third-party developer inventory is a result of Bluegreens strategic
expansion of its fee-based service business. Bluegreen anticipates that fee-based services will be
a greater portion of Bluegreens revenues in the future although Bluegreens efforts in this
respect may not be successful.
Selling and Marketing Expenses. Selling and marketing expenses for Bluegreen Resorts were $35.0
million and $35.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. As a
percentage of system-wide sales, net, selling and marketing expenses decreased to 45% during the
three months ended June 30, 2011 from 47% during the three months ended June 30, 2010. Selling and
marketing expenses were $63.5 million and $62.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011
and 2010, respectively. As a percentage of system-wide sales, net, selling and marketing expenses
decreased to 47% during the six months ended June 30, 2011 from 52% during the six months ended
June 30, 2010.
The decrease in the sales and marketing expense as a percentage of system-wide sales, net, during
the 2011 periods was due to the fluctuations in the mix of marketing programs, reflecting a
reduction in the number of sales tours from higher cost programs, as well as an increase in the
average sales price per VOI transaction. The average sales price was $12,250 and $11,990, during
the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and was $12,189 and $11,842, during
the six months ended June 30, 2011, and 2010 respectively.
Net Carrying Costs of Developer Inventory. Bluegreen is responsible for paying maintenance fees
and developer subsidies for unsold Bluegreen VOI inventory, which is paid to the property owners
associations that maintain the resorts. Bluegreen attempts to mitigate this expense, to the extent
possible, through the rental of its owned VOIs. Accordingly, the net carrying cost of Bluegreens
unsold inventory fluctuates with the number of VOIs Bluegreen owns and the number of resorts
subject to developer subsidy arrangements, as well as proceeds from rental and sampler activity.
During the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the carrying cost of Bluegreens inventory
was $6.2 million and $5.8 million, respectively, and was partially offset by rental and sampler
revenues, net of expenses, of $3.3 million and $4.0 million, respectively. During the six months
ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the carrying cost of Bluegreens inventory was $13.0 million and
$11.6 million, respectively, and was partially offset by rental and sampler revenues, net of
expenses, of $5.9 million and $6.3 million, respectively. The decrease in rental proceeds in the
2011 periods is partially attributable to a higher percentage of Bluegreens unsold VOIs being used
to house marketing guests.
Field General and Administrative Expenses. Field general and administrative expenses, which
represent expenses directly attributable to Bluegreen Resorts operations (and exclude corporate
overhead) were $4.6 million and $4.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010,
respectively, and were $8.6 million and $6.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and
2010, respectively. As a percentage of system-wide sales, net, field general and administrative
expenses increased slightly to 6% during the three months ended June 30, 2011from 5% during the six
months ended June 30, 2010. As a percentage of system-wide sales, net, field general and
administrative expenses increased to 6% during the six months ended June 30, 2011 from 5% during
the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Other Resort Fee-Based Services Revenue. Bluegreens other resort fee-based services revenue
consists primarily of fees earned for providing management services and fees earned for providing
title services in connection with VOI transactions. Bluegreen provided management services to the
Bluegreen Vacation Club and to a majority of the property owners associations of our resorts. In
connection with our management services provided to the Bluegreen Vacation Club, we manage the club
reservation system, and provide owner services as well as billing and collections services.
Revenues generated by other resort fee-based services were $17.3 million and $16.4 million during
the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively and $34.5 million and $32.1 million
during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Revenues related to other resort
fee-based services increased in 2011 as we provided services to more VOI owners and managed more
timeshare resorts on behalf of property owners associations during the 2011 periods. As of June
30, 2011, Bluegreen managed 45timeshare resort properties and hotels compared to 43 as of June 30,
2010. Fees earned from title services decreased in 2011 compared to 2010 as a result of an
initiative which was implemented in 2010 to reduce Bluegreens processing back-log that had the
impact of increasing 2010 revenues.
Bluegreen intends to continue to pursue its efforts to provide resort management and title services
to resort developers and others, on a cash-fee basis. While Bluegreens efforts to do so may not
be successful, we hope that this will become an increasing portion of Bluegreens business over
time.
Cost of Other Resort Fee-Based Services. Cost of other resort fee-based services was $9.2 million
and $8.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Cost of other
fee-based services was $18.2 million and $16.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011
and 2010, respectively. The increase in the cost during the 2011periods is due to the additional
service volumes described above.
Interest Income and Interest Expense
Notes Receivable Portfolio. As of June 30, 2011 and
2010, Bluegreens net interest spread from its notes
receivable portfolio included the interest earned on $693.6 million and $616.1 million of VOI notes receivable,
respectively, net of interest expense incurred on $515.4 million and $592.5 million of related receivable-backed
debt, respectively. The following table details

2010, respectively. Interest income was $44.4 million and $47.9 million
during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The decrease in interest income
during the 2011 periods compared to the same periods of 2010 was a result of the continued decrease
in our VOI notes receivable portfolio, which in turn was due to both the maturing of the portfolio
as well as our efforts to increase cash sales and collect higher down payments on those VOI sales
that we do finance. Bluegreen expects that its notes receivable portfolio will continue to decrease
in the near term due to these factors.
Interest Expense. Interest expense on receivable-backed notes payable was $9.5 million and
$12.0 million for the second quarters of 2011 and 2010, respectively. Interest expense on
receivable-backed notes payable was $19.5 million and $23.7 million for the six months ended June
30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Our other interest expense, which is primarily comprised of
interest on lines of credit and notes payable and on our subordinated debentures, was $4.8 million
and $3.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively and $10.0
million and $6.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Bluegreens total interest expense, which includes interest expense on receivable-backed notes
payable and interest on lines of credit, notes payable and subordinated debentures, was $14.4
million and $15.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and
$29.5 million and $30.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Interest expense decreased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the
same periods of 2010 due to the lower outstanding average debt balance during the 2011 periods as a
result of debt repayments, partially offset by slightly higher average interest rates. Bluegreens
effective cost of borrowing was 7.6% and 7.3% during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010,
respectively.
Mortgage Servicing Operations. Bluegreens mortgage servicing operations include processing
payments, and collection of notes receivable owned by Bluegreen, as well as on notes receivable
owned by third parties. In addition, Bluegreens mortgage servicing operations facilitate the
monetization of its VOI notes receivable through its various credit facilities, as well as perform
monthly reporting activities for Bluegreens lenders and receivable investors. The cost of
Bluegreens mortgage servicing operations was $1.3 million and $1.1 million during the second
quarters of 2011 and 2010, respectively. The cost of Bluegreens mortgage servicing operations was
$2.5 million and $2.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Bluegreen earns loan servicing fees from our securitization and securitization-type transactions as
well as from providing loan servicing to third-party developers. The loan servicing fees that we
earn on our securitization and securitization-type transactions are included as a component of
interest income on notes receivable as we consolidate the VIEs that hold the notes receivable and
related debt (see Note 9 to our Consolidated Financial Statements). Servicing fee income earned
for servicing the loan portfolio of two of Bluegreens third-party developers in connection with
our fee-based service arrangements was approximately $0.2 million and $0.1 million during the six
months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. As of June 30, 2011, the total amount of notes
receivable serviced by Bluegreen under these arrangements was $30.2 million.
Corporate General and Administrative Expenses. Bluegreens corporate general and administrative
expenses consist primarily of expenses associated with administering the various support functions
at Bluegreens corporate headquarters to support Bluegreens business operations, 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. In addition, consistent
with Bluegreens segment reporting treatment, changes in the accrued payroll between reporting
periods for the entire company are recorded as corporate general and administrative expense.
Corporate general and administrative expenses were $10.3 million and $9.7 million for the first
quarters of 2011 and 2010, respectively. Corporate general and administrative expenses were $20.8
million and $22.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The
decrease in the expenses during the 2011 periods primarily relates to lower litigation costs and
lower costs incurred for management consulting services.
Non-controlling Interest in Income of Consolidated Subsidiary. We include the results of
operations and financial position of Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations, LLC, our 51%-owned subsidiary,
in our consolidated financial statements. The non-controlling interests in income of consolidated
subsidiary is the portion of our consolidated pre-tax income that is attributable to Big Cedar,
LLC, the unaffiliated 49% interest holder in Bluegreen/Big Cedar
Vacations, LLC. Non-controlling interest in income of consolidated subsidiary was $2.0 million and
$1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Non-controlling
interest in income of consolidated subsidiary was $3.7 million and $2.9 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Provision (benefit) for Income Taxes. Bluegreens effective income tax rate was approximately 39%
and 38.0% during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Bluegreens quarterly
effective income tax rates are based upon Bluegreens current estimated annual rate. Bluegreens
annual effective income tax rate varies based upon its taxable earnings as well as on its mix of
taxable earnings in the various states in which Bluegreen operates.
Discontinued Operations. On March 24, 2011, Bluegreen announced that it had engaged advisors to
explore strategic alternatives for Bluegreen Communities, including a possible sale of the
division. On June 30, 2011, Bluegreens Board of Directors made a determination to seek to sell
Bluegreen Communities or substantially all of its assets. As a result of this decision, it was
determined that Bluegreen Communities met the criteria for classification as discontinued
operations. Accordingly, the operating results of Bluegreen Communities, which had previously been
presented as a separate reporting segment, are included in discontinued operations in the
consolidated statements of operations (See Note 4 of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial
Statements for further information). In addition, the majority of the assets related to Bluegreen
Communities are presented separately on the consolidated balance sheets as assets held for sale.
The assets held for sale primarily consist of Bluegreen Communities real estate assets valued on
our books at $31.8 million and $83.8 million as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010,
respectively. This decrease in the carrying amount of the assets held for sale as of June 30, 2011
as compared to December 31, 2010, primarily related to the $52.4 million non-cash charge described
below recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2011 to write down the value of the Bluegreen
Communities assets in the disposal group to estimated fair value less cost to sell.

Revenues from discontinued operations, which primarily relate to sales of communities real estate,
were $4.2 million and $2.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010,
respectively and $9.9 million and $6.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010,
respectively. The increase in the revenues during
the six months ended June 30, 2011 was due to the recognition of previously deferred revenue
related to one of our communities in which we substantially completed development during the first
quarter of 2011.
Cost of discontinued operations was $4.3 million and $7.0 million for the three months ended June
30, 2011 and 2010, respectively and $10.1 million and $15.7 million for the six months ended June
30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Cost of discontinued operations primarily consists of cost of
sales of real estate, expenses in connection with the operation of two golf courses, selling and
marketing expenses, and general and administrative expenses. Cost of discontinued operations during
the six months ended June 30, 2010, also includes non-cash impairment charges of approximately $3.3
million to write down certain phases of the completed communities properties to their

less costs to sell, incurred as a result of continued low volume of sales, reduced prices and the
impact of reduced sales on the forecasted sellout period of the communities projects.
Loss on assets held for sale during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, mainly consists
of a non-cash charge of $52.4 million to write down the carrying value of the assets held for sale
to fair value less cost to sell. See Note 4of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial
Statements for further information. Additional losses, which may be significant, may be incurred
in the future to the extent that actual sales proceeds from the disposition of the disposal group
are materially different from their estimated fair value.
Discontinued operations also includes interest expense on notes payable which are collateralized by
certain Bluegreen Communities inventory and property and equipment assets as such debt is required
to be paid in full upon the sale of the related assets. Interest expense was $0.8 million and $1.1
million during the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Interest expense was
$1.5 million and $2.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Interest expense decreased during the 2011 periods due to lower debt balances as a result of debt
repayments. Bluegreen recently entered into a non-binding letter of intent with a third party
contemplating the sale of Bluegreen Communities, or a similar transaction. However, as of the date
of this filing, Bluegreen has not entered into a definitive agreement or agreements with respect to
the sale of Bluegreen Communities or its assets, and Bluegreen may not be successful in its efforts
to consummate any such sale or sales.
Bluegreens Liquidity and Capital Resources
Bluegreens primary sources of funds from internal operations are: (i) cash sales, (ii) down
payments on homesite and VOI sales which are financed, (iii) proceeds from the sale of, or
borrowings collateralized by, notes receivable, including cash received from our residual interests
in such transactions, (iv) cash from our finance operations, including mortgage servicing fees and
principal and interest payments received on the purchase money mortgage loans arising from sales of
VOIs and homesites, and (v) net cash generated from our sales and marketing fee-based services and
other resort fee-based services, including our resorts management operations.
As a result of initiatives implemented in the fourth quarter of 2008, Bluegreen has in recent years
realized higher down payments and a higher percentage of cash sales in connection with VOI sales
compared to prior years. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, including down payments
received on financed sales, 57% of our VOI sales were paid in cash within approximately 30 days
from the contract date.
While the vacation ownership business has historically been capital intensive, Bluegreen principal
goals in the current environment has been to emphasize the generation of free cash flow (defined
as cash flow from operating and investing activities) by i) incentivizing Bluegreens sales
associates to generate higher percentages of our sales in cash compared to historical levels; ii)
maintaining sales volumes that allows Bluegreen to focus on what it believes to be the most
efficient marketing channels available to it; iii) minimizing capital and inventory expenditures;
and iv) utilizing our sales and marketing, mortgage servicing, resort management services, title
and construction expertise to pursue fee-based-service business relationships that require minimal
up-front capital investment and have the potential to produce strong cash flows for Bluegreen.
Historically, Bluegreens business model has depended on the availability of credit in the
commercial markets. VOI sales are generally dependent upon us providing financing to our buyers.
Our ability to sell and/or borrow against our notes receivable from VOI buyers has been a critical
factor in our continued liquidity. When we sell 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 buyers minimum required down-payment. Accordingly, having financing
facilities available for the hypothecation, sale, or transfer of these VOI receivables has been a
critical factor in our ability to meet our short and long-term cash needs and Bluegreen has
attempted to diversify our sources of such financing facilities.
Historically, Bluegreen has relied on its ability to sell receivables in the term securitization
market in order to generate liquidity and create capacity in our 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. Although Bluegreen believes that it currently has adequate completed VOIs in
inventory to satisfy our needs for the next several years, and therefore, expect acquisition and
development expenditures to remain at current levels in the near term, Bluegreen may decide to
acquire or develop more inventory in the future, which would increase its acquisition and
development expenditures and may require Bluegreen to incur additional debt.

The challenging credit markets over the past several years have negatively impacted Bluegreen
financing activities. While the credit markets appear to be recovering and Bluegreen consummated
term securitizations and entered into new financing facilities during 2010 as well as renewed and
expanded certain of its facilities during the six months ended June 30, 2011, the number of banks
and other finance companies willing to provide warehouse lines of credit for timeshare
receivables has decreased. As a result, Bluegreen may not be able to renew its existing
receivable-backed lines of credit when their current advance periods expire or secure new future
financing for our VOI notes receivable on acceptable terms, if at all. In addition, the
securitization market has become unavailable for extended periods of time in the past and may
become unavailable to Bluegreen in the future.
Further, while Bluegreen may seek to raise additional debt or equity financing in the future to
fund operations or repay outstanding debt, such financing may not be available to Bluegreen on
favorable terms or at all. If Bluegreen efforts are unsuccessful, its liquidity would be
significantly adversely impacted. In light of the current trading price of Bluegreens common
stock, financing involving the issuance of its common stock or securities convertible into its
common stock would be highly dilutive to Bluegreens existing shareholders.
Bluegreens levels of debt and debt service requirements have several important effects on our
operations, including the following: (i) our significant debt service cash requirements reduce the
funds available for operations and future business opportunities and increases our vulnerability to
adverse economic and industry conditions, as well as conditions in the credit markets, generally;
(ii) our leverage position increases our vulnerability to economic and competitive pressures; (iii)
the financial covenants and other restrictions contained in indentures, credit agreements and other
agreements relating to our indebtedness require us to meet certain financial tests and restrict our
ability to, among other things, borrow additional funds, dispose of assets, make investments, or
pay cash dividends on or repurchase common stock; and (iv) our leverage position may limit funds
available for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and general corporate purposes.
Certain of our financing arrangements materially limit our ability to pay cash dividends on our
common stock or our ability to repurchase shares in the near term. Certain of our competitors
operate on a less leveraged basis and have greater operating and financial flexibility than we do.
Credit Facilities
The following is a discussion of Bluegreens material purchase and credit facilities, including
those that were important sources of its liquidity as of June 30, 2011. These facilities do not
constitute all of Bluegreens outstanding indebtedness as of June 30, 2011. Bluegreens 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.

The unpaid balance related to the initial advance, of which $15.3 million was outstanding as of June 30, 2011, matures on September 30, 2017.The unpaid balance related to all additional advances of which $3.9 million was outstanding as of June 30, 2011, matures on October 31, 2018. |
BB&T Purchase Facility. Bluegreen has a $75.0 million timeshare notes receivable purchase
facility with Branch Banking and Trust Company (BB&T) (the BB&T Purchase Facility). The BB&T
Purchase Facility provides a revolving advance period through December 17, 2011. The interest
rates on future advances under the facility are the Prime Rate plus 2.0%, subject to tiered
increases once the outstanding balance equals or exceeds $25.0 million, with a maximum interest
rate of the Prime Rate plus 3.5% once the outstanding balance equals or exceeds $50.0 million.
Bluegreen receives all of the excess cash flows generated by the timeshare receivables transferred
to BB&T under the facility (excess meaning after customary payment of fees, interest and principal
under the facility) provided we are in compliance with covenants and terms of the BB&T Purchase
Facility. The BB&T Purchase Facility provides for the financing of Bluegreens timeshare
receivables at an advance rate of 67.5%, subject to the terms of the facility.
While ownership of the receivables is transferred for legal purposes, the transfers of receivables
under the facility are accounted for as secured borrowings. Accordingly, the receivables are
reflected as assets and the associated obligations are reflected as liabilities on our balance
sheet. The BB&T Purchase Facility is nonrecourse and is not guaranteed by Bluegreen.
During the six months ended June 30, 2011, Bluegreen pledged $17.0 million of VOI notes receivable
to this facility and received cash proceeds of $11.5 million. We also repaid $0.3 million on the
facility.
Quorum Purchase Facility. On December 22, 2010, Bluegreen entered into a timeshare receivables
purchase facility (the Quorum Purchase Facility) with Quorum Federal Credit Union (Quorum).
Pursuant to the terms of the facility and subject to certain conditions precedent, Quorum has
agreed to purchase eligible timeshare receivables from us or certain of our subsidiaries up to an
aggregate $20.0 million purchase price through December 22, 2011. The terms of the Quorum Purchase
Facility reflect an 80% advance rate and a program fee rate of 8% per annum through August 31,
2011, and terms to be agreed upon through December 22, 2011. Eligibility requirements for
receivables sold include, among others, that the obligors under the timeshare notes receivable sold
be members of Quorum at the time of the note sale. The Quorum Purchase Facility contemplates the
ability of Quorum to purchase

additional receivables subject to advance rates, fees and other terms
to be agreed upon from time to time over and above the initial $20.0 million commitment, pursuant
to the terms of the facility and subject to certain conditions
precedent. Subject to performance of the collateral, Bluegreen will receive all of the excess cash
flows generated by the receivables transferred to Quorum under the facility (excess meaning after
payment of customary fees and return of amounts invested by Quorum under the facility on a pro-rata
basis as borrowers make payments on their timeshare loans).
While ownership of the receivables is transferred for legal purposes, the transfers of receivables
under the facility are accounted for as secured borrowings. Accordingly, the receivables are
reflected as assets and the associated obligations are reflected as liabilities on Bluegreens
balance sheet. The Quorum Purchase Facility is nonrecourse and is not guaranteed by us.
During the six months ended June 30, 2011, Bluegreen pledged $4.0 million of VOI notes receivable
to this facility and received cash proceeds of $3.2 million. Bluegreen also repaid $0.1 million on
the facility.
NBA Receivables Facility. In September 2010, Bluegreen/Big Cedar Joint Venture entered into a $20.0
million timeshare receivables hypothecation facility with NBA (NBA). Bluegreen Corporation has
guaranteed the full payment and performance of Bluegreen/Big Cedar Joint Venture in connection with
this facility. The facility provides an 85% advance on eligible receivables, subject to terms and
conditions which we believe to be customary for facilities of this type. At the time of closing of
the transaction, $23.5 million of eligible receivables were pledged and we received an advance of
$20 million. . The availability period under the facility had expired on June 30, 2010; however,
the facility was amended during May 2011 to allow us to pledge additional timeshare receivables
through October 31, 2011, with additional advances not to exceed $5.0 million, subject to a total
$20.0 million borrowing limit for all amounts outstanding under the facility.
All principal and interest payments received on pledged receivables are applied to principal and
interest due under the facility. Indebtedness under this facility bears interest at the 30-day
LIBOR plus 5.25%, subject to a floor of 6.75% (6.75% as of June 30, 2011).
The unpaid balance related to the initial September 30, 2010 advance, of which $15.3 million was
outstanding as of June 30, 2011, matures on September 30, 2017; the unpaid balance related to the
additional advances of which $3.9 million was outstanding as of June 30, 2011, matures on October
31, 2018.
During the six months ended June 30, 2011, Bluegreen pledged $4.6 million of VOI notes receivable
to this facility and received cash proceeds of approximately $3.9 million. Bluegreen also repaid
$3.0 million on this facility.
2011 Liberty Bank Facility. In February 2011, Bluegreen entered into a new revolving hypothecation
facility with certain participants in our 2008 Liberty Bank Facility (see discussion of our 2008
Liberty Bank Facility below, under Other Outstanding Receivable-Backed Notes Payable). This new
$60.0 million facility (2011 Liberty Bank Facility) provides for an 85% advance on eligible
receivables pledged under the facility during a two-year period ending in February 2013, subject to
eligible collateral and terms and conditions we believe to be customary for transactions of this
type. Availability under the 2011 Liberty Bank Facility is reduced by amounts outstanding to
certain syndicate participants under the 2008 Liberty Bank Facility ($42.2 million as of June 30,
2011), but as the outstanding amounts on the 2008 Liberty Bank Facility amortize over time, the
2011 Liberty Bank Facility will revolve up to $60.0 million. Principal and interest are repaid as
cash is collected on the pledged receivables, with the remaining balance due in February 2016.
Indebtedness under the 2011 Liberty Bank Facility bears interest at the Prime Rate plus 2.25%,
subject to a floor of 6.5% (6.5% as of June 30, 2011).
During the six months ended June 30, 2011, Bluegreen pledged $7.9 million of VOI notes receivable
to this facility and received cash proceeds of approximately $6.7 million, of which Bluegreen
repaid $0.7 million.

2008 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 (2008 Liberty Bank Facility). Amounts borrowed under the facility and incurred
interest are repaid as cash is collected on the pledged receivables. The advance period under the
2008 Liberty Bank Facility has expired, and all outstanding borrowings are scheduled to mature no
later than August 27, 2014. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, Bluegreen repaid $10.0
million on this facility.
In February 2011, Bluegreen entered into the 2011 Liberty Bank Facility, a new revolving
hypothecation facility with certain existing participants in the Liberty-led syndicate. See Credit
Facilities for Bluegreen Receivables with Future Availability above for further information
regarding the 2011 Liberty Bank Facility.
The GE Bluegreen/Big Cedar Receivables Facility. In April 2007, the Bluegreen/Big Cedar Joint
Venture entered into 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 expired on April 16, 2009, and
all outstanding borrowings are scheduled to 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. Indebtedness under the facility bears interest adjusted monthly at a rate equal to
the 30 day LIBOR rate plus 1.75%. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, Bluegreen repaid $4.3
million on this facility.
Legacy Securitization. In September 2010, Bluegreen completed a securitization transaction of the
lowest FICO®-score loans previously financed in the BB&T Purchase Facility. Substantially all of
the timeshare receivables included in this transaction were generated prior to December 15, 2008,
the date that Bluegreen implemented its FICO® score-based credit underwriting program,
and had FICO® scores below 600.
In this securitization, BXG Legacy 2010 LLC, a wholly-owned special purpose subsidiary of Bluegreen
Corporation, issued $27.0 million of notes payable secured by a portfolio of timeshare receivables
totaling $36.1 million. While the notes payable have a coupon rate of 12%, they were sold at a $2.7
million discount to yield an
87

Real Estate
effective rate of 18.5%. The notes payable generated gross proceeds to
us of $24.3 million (before fees and reserves and expenses we believe to be customary for
transactions of this type), which were used to repay a portion of the outstanding balance under the
BB&T Purchase Facility.
Bluegreen guaranteed the principal payments for defaulted vacation ownership loans in the Legacy
Securitization at amounts equivalent to the then-current advance rate inherent in the notes, any
shortfalls in monthly interest distributions to the Legacy Securitization investors and any
shortfall in the ultimate principal payment on the notes upon their stated maturity in September
2025. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, Bluegreen repaid $4.3 million on this facility.

RFA AD&C Facility. In September 2010, GMAC assigned all rights, title, and interest in this
facility (previously known as GMAC AD&C Facility) to Resort Finance America, LLC (RFA). This
assignment did not affect any of the material financial terms of the loan agreement. This facility
was used to finance the acquisition and development of certain of our resorts and currently has one
outstanding project loan. The maturity date for the project loan collateralized by our Bluegreen
Club 36TM resort in Las Vegas, Nevada (the Club 36 Loan) and is scheduled to mature on
June 30, 2012. Approximately $44.1 million was outstanding on the Club 36 Loan as of June 30,
2011, $21.5 million of which is due by October 31, 2011. Principal payments are effected through
agreed-upon release prices as timeshare interests in Bluegreen Club 36 are sold, subject to
periodic minimum required amortization. As of June 30, 2011, we had no availability under this
facility.
During the six months ended June 30, 2011, Bluegreen repaid $8.1 million of the outstanding balance
under this facility, including the repayment in full of a loan collateralized by our Fountains
Resort in Orlando, Florida.

H4BG Communities Facility. 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 Hunters 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 the following golf courses: The Bridges at Preston
Crossings (Grayson County, Texas) and Sanctuary Cove (Waverly, Georgia).
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 2.0%, subject to the following floors: (1) 8.0% until
the balance of the loan is less than or equal to $20 million, and (2) 6.0% thereafter. During the
six months ended June 30, 2011, we repaid $3.4 million of the outstanding balance under this
facility. The facility is scheduled to mature on December 31, 2012, however, if the related assets
are sold prior to the scheduled maturity date, the facility will mature upon the sale of the
assets.
Textron AD&C Facility. In April 2008, Bluegreen Vacations Unlimited, Inc. (BVU), our wholly-owned
subsidiary, entered into a $75.0 million, revolving master acquisition, development and
construction facility loan agreement (the Textron AD&C Facility) with Textron Financial
Corporation (Textron). The Textron AD&C Facility has historically been used to facilitate the
borrowing of funds for resort acquisition and development activities. We have guaranteed all
sub-loans under the master agreement. Interest on the Textron AD&C Facility is equal to the Prime
Rate plus 1.25% 1.50% and is due monthly. The advance period under the Textron AD&C Facility has
expired.
On October 28, 2009, Bluegreen entered into an amendment to the Textron AD&C Facility and a
sub-loan under the facility used to fund the acquisition and development of our Odyssey Dells
Resort (the Odyssey Sub-Loan). The amendment to the Odyssey Sub-Loan extended the final maturity
of outstanding borrowings under the Odyssey Sub-Loan to December 31, 2011, and revised the periodic
minimum required principal amortization. We pay Textron principal payments as we sell timeshare
interests that collateralize the Odyssey Sub-Loan, subject to periodic minimum required principal
amortization. As amended, our minimum required principal payments are $1.0 million per quarter
through maturity. As of June 30, 2011, Bluegreen outstanding borrowings under the Odyssey Sub-Loan
totaled approximately $2.0 million.
Bluegreen also has a sub-loan under the Textron AD&C Facility which we used to acquire our Atlantic
Palace Resort in Atlantic City, New Jersey (the Atlantic Palace Sub-Loan). The outstanding
balance under the Atlantic Palace Sub-Loan was $4.5 million as of June 30, 2011. Bluegreen pays
Textron principal payments as we sell timeshare interests that collateralize the Atlantic Palace
Sub-Loan, subject to periodic minimum required principal amortization. The final maturity of
outstanding borrowings under the Atlantic Palace Sub-Loan is April 2013.
During the six months ended June 30, 2011, Bluegreen repaid $2.8 million under this facility.
Wells Fargo Term Loan. On April 30, 2010, Bluegreen entered into a definitive agreement with Wells
Fargo Bank, N.A. (Wells Fargo), which amended, restated and consolidated our then existing notes
payable and line-of-credit with Wachovia Bank, N.A. into a single term loan with Wells Fargo (the
Wells Fargo Term Loan). Under the terms of the agreement, 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 as of June 30, 2011 of $4.8 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 our sold VOI notes
receivable as collateral for the Wells Fargo Term Loan. As required by the terms of the Wells
Fargo Term Loan, Wells Fargo received, as additional collateral, the residual interest in a term
securitization transaction Bluegreen completed in December 2010. The Wells Fargo Term Loan bears
interest at the 30-day LIBOR plus 6.87% (7.06% as of June 30, 2011).
During the six months ended June 30, 2011, Bluegreen repaid $5.8 million of the outstanding balance
under this facility.

If the related collateralized assets are sold, however, the debt will become due and payable upon the sale of the respective assets. Additionally, approximately $0.3 million, presented within payments after 5 years, relates to other notes payable which will also become due and payable upon the sale of the assets of the Communities business that secure this facility. |
Bluegreen estimates that the cash required to satisfy its Bluegreen Resorts development
obligations related to resort buildings and resort amenities was approximately $7.0 million as of
June 30, 2011. Bluegreen estimates that the cash required to satisfy its development obligations
related to Bluegreen Communities projects was approximately $5.0 million as of June 30, 2011.
These estimates 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 or other
obligations; 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; however, Bluegreen may not be able to generate the cash from operations
necessary to complete these commitments and actual costs may 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
Bluegreen will seek to put in place will be sufficient to meet its anticipated working capital,
capital expenditures and debt service requirements, including the contractual payment of the
obligations set forth above, for the foreseeable future, subject to the successful implementation
of ongoing strategic initiatives and the ongoing availability of credit. Bluegreen will continue in
its efforts to renew, extend, or replace any credit and receivables purchase facilities that have
expired or that will expire in the near term. Bluegreen may, in the future, also obtain additional
credit facilities and may issue corporate debt or equity securities. Any debt incurred or issued by
us may be secured or unsecured, bear interest at fixed or variable rates and may be subject to such
terms as the lender may require. In addition, our efforts to renew or replace the credit facilities
or receivables purchase facilities which have expired or which are scheduled to expire in the near
term may not be successful, and sufficient funds may not be available from operations or under
existing, proposed or future revolving credit or other borrowing arrangements or receivables
purchase facilities to meet its cash needs, including Bluegreens 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.
Bluegreens 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. In the future, Bluegreen may be

required to seek waivers of such covenants, and
Bluegreen may not be successful in obtaining waivers, and such covenants may limit its ability to
raise funds, sell receivables, satisfy or refinance our obligations or otherwise adversely affect
its operations. Further, certain of Bluegreens outstanding debt include covenants which
materially limit its ability to pay cash dividends on its common stock or its ability to repurchase
shares of Bluegreens outstanding common stock. In addition, Bluegreens 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 its control.
Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2011, Bluegreen did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2011 Compared to the Same 2010 Period:
BankAtlantics improved performance during the 2011 second quarter compared to the same 2010
quarter primarily was the result of the sale of 19 Tampa branches and related facilities to PNC
Bank for a net gain of $38.7 million, a $33.4 million decline in the provision for loan losses and
a $7.6 million decline in operating expenses. The above improvements in BankAtlantics income
(loss) from continuing operations were partially offset by declines in net interest income and
service charges on deposit accounts.
The decrease in the provision for loan losses primarily reflects a slowing in the amount of
loans migrating to a delinquency or non-accrual status compared to prior periods as well as lower
net charge-offs. During the second quarter of 2011, $33.1 million of loans were transferred to
nonaccrual compared to $100.7 million of loans during the same 2010 quarter. Loans delinquent 31
to 89 days declined from $43.4 million as of June 30, 2010 to $27.8 million at June 30, 2011 and
net charge-offs declined from $32.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 to $26.7
during the same 2011 period.
The decrease in non-interest expenses reflects lower compensation and occupancy expenses
associated with the consolidation of back-office facilities, workforce reductions, normal attrition
and elimination of expenses associated with BankAtlantics Tampa operations as a result of the
completion of the Tampa branch sale on June 3, 2011. Additionally, BankAtlantics professional
fees declined by $3.7 million primarily due to a $3.3 million reimbursement of legal costs from
insurers in the 2011 quarter compared to a $1.4 million reimbursement for the 2010 quarter. These
lower non-interest expenses were partially offset by an increase in the second quarter of 2011 in
impairments of loans held for sale and real estate owned of $7.7 million, and $1.1 million of costs
associated with debt redemptions as BankAtlantic repaid certain institutional certificates of
deposits and public funds in order to reduce asset balances.
The lower service charges on deposit accounts primarily reflects lower overdraft fees during
the period. The decrease in overdraft fee income reflects the 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 reflects
efforts to attract customers who maintain deposit accounts with higher balances, regulatory and
other changes in our overdraft policies, and changes in customer behavior. BankAtlantic revised
its overdraft policies during the first quarter of 2011 instituting a daily limit on the number of
overdraft fees a customer will be charged, eliminating an overdraft fee for transactions that
result in a small overdrawn balance at the end of the business day, and lowering the amount of
overdraft protection provided to a customer. We anticipate that this trend will continue and that
our overdraft fee income will be lower in future periods.

The lower net interest income resulted primarily from a significant reduction in earning
assets and an increasing proportion of investments in low yielding short-term time deposits and
securities. BankAtlantic reduced its asset balances in order to improve its regulatory capital
ratios.
The decrease in BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Companys loss from continuing operations for the
2011 quarter compared to the same 2010 quarter resulted primarily from a $4.4 million decline in
its provision for loan losses, lower compensation expenses and a decline in losses associated with
the sale of real estate owned. The above improvements were partially offset by a $1.5 million
impairment of an equity security held by BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company. The decrease in the
provision for loan losses resulted primarily from a $4.4 million decline in net charge-offs.
During the three months ended June 30, 2010, BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company incurred a $0.6
million loss on the sale of real estate owned compared to a $16 thousand gain on the sale of real
estate owned during the same 2011 period. The reduction in compensation expense related to the
elimination of executive bonuses during 2011. The $1.5 million securities impairment relates to an
equity security. There were no impairments of equity securities during the three months ended June
30, 2010.

BankAtlantics improved performance during the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the
same 2010 period resulted primarily from a $37.6 million reduction in the provision for loan
losses, a $38.7 million gain on the sale of the Tampa branches and $14.2 million of lower operation
expenses. These improvements were partially offset by a $8.8 million decline in net interest
income and a $7.3 million reduction in service charges on deposit accounts. The changes in the
above items were primarily the result of the items discussed above for the three months ended June
30, 2011 compared to the same 2010 period as the provision for loan losses declined $3.1 million,
compensation expense declined $0.9 million and losses on sales of real estate owned was lower by
$0.8 million. The above reductions in the Parent Companys loss were primarily the result of the
items discussed above for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same 2010 period
partially offset by $3.1 million of real estate owned impairments during the 2011 six month period
compared to $0.7 million of impairments during the 2010 period.

For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2011 Compared to the Same 2010 Period:
The decrease in net interest income resulted primarily from a reduction in earning assets, an
increase in cash balances invested in low yielding short-term investments and a reduction in the
net interest margin.
The average balance of earning assets declined by $251.9 million. The decline in average
earning assets reflects a significant reduction in the origination and purchase of loans, lower
agency securities balances as a result of repayments, and reduced purchases of tax certificates.
The reductions in average earning assets were partially offset by increased investments in
short-term interest bearing securities and higher interest bearing balances at the Federal Reserve
Bank. These higher short-term asset and cash balances were maintained in order to fund the Tampa
branch sale, enhance liquidity and improve regulatory risk-based capital ratios. BankAtlantic also
experienced significant residential loan repayments due to normal loan amortization as well as a
substantial amount of loan refinancing associated with low residential mortgage interest rates
during 2010 and the first half of 2011. Residential loan average balances declined from $1.43
billion for the three months ended June 30, 2010 to $1.1 billion during the same 2011 quarter.
Also, BankAtlantic ceased originating commercial real estate loans contributing to average
commercial real estate balances declining from $1.05 billion for the three months ended June 30,
2010 to $821 million for the same 2011 period. BankAtlantic also slowed the origination of consumer
loans and average balances of these loans declined from $670 million during the 2010 quarter to
$605 million during the same 2011 quarter.
The increase in average investment balances primarily reflects an increase of $297.2 million
in interest bearing deposits held at the Federal Reserve Bank and a $148.3 million increase in
average short-term interest bearing securities. BankAtlantic used a portion of the cash proceeds
from loan repayments to purchase short-term investments, including time deposits at other banks,
agency securities and tax exempt securities, and to maintain
higher interest earning cash balances at the Federal Reserve Bank. The average balances at
the Federal Reserve

(BankAtlantic Bancorp)
Bank were $551.8 million for the 2011 quarter compared to $254.6 million for
the 2010 quarter. These short-term securities and balances at the Federal Reserve Bank enhanced
BankAtlantics liquidity; however, the average yield on these investments is lower than the yields
on loans and other investments.
The net interest margin declined due to a change in our interest earning asset mix from higher
yielding loans and mortgage-backed securities to lower yielding short-term investments and interest
earning cash balances at the Federal Reserve Bank. The decline in interest earning asset yields was
partially offset by a decline in interest bearing liability interest rates.
The improvement in interest bearing liability interest rates primarily resulted from a decline
in the average interest rates on deposits. The lower average rates on deposits reflect the low
interest rate environment and a significant reduction in certificate of deposit balances. In June
2011, BankAtlantic prepaid $110 million of institution certificates of deposit and public funds.
Certificates of deposit accounts generally bear higher rates of interest than other deposit
accounts.

For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 Compared to the Same 2010 Period:
The decrease in net interest income was primarily the result of the items discussed above for
the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same 2010 period. The lower net interest
income reflects a significant decline in average earning assets and an increase in cash balances
invested in low yielding investments partially offset by a decline in interest rates on
interest-bearing liabilities. The decline in interest rates on interest-bearing liabilities
reflects lower deposit interest rates for the 2011 period compared to the 2010 period as well as
lower FHLB advance borrowing interest rates. The lower FHLB advance interest rates resulted from
BankAtlantic replacing its intermediate term FHLB advances with short-term advances which typically
have lower interest rates.

Residential loan charge-offs increased during the three and six months ended June 30,
2011 compared to the same 2010 periods. The higher residential charge-offs reflect a decline in
property values. We believe the property value declines resulted primarily from a lack of available
residential loan financing, appraisals not supporting negotiated sales prices and higher
residential property inventory resulting from foreclosures nationally.
Commercial real estate loan charge-offs declined during the three and six months ended June
30, 2011 primarily due to lower charge-offs in BankAtlantics commercial residential loan
portfolio. During the three months ended June 30, 2011, BankAtlantic recognized $12.0 million of
charge-offs related to commercial other loans, $1.2 million related to commercial residential loans
and $0.2 million related to commercial owner occupied loans. During the six months ended June 30,
2011, BankAtlantic recognized $12.6 million of charge-offs related to commercial other loans, $5.1
million related to commercial residential loans, $0.2 million related to owner occupied loans.
During the three months ended June 30, 2010, BankAtlantic recognized $9.6 million of charge-offs
related to commercial residential loans. The remaining $4.9 million of commercial real estate loan
charge-offs were associated primarily with commercial other loans. During the six months ended
June 30, 2010, BankAtlantic recognized an additional $16.9 million of charge-offs related to
commercial residential loans. Historically, the majority of BankAtlantics charge-off were related
to commercial residential loans and the balances in the commercial residential portfolio have
declined from $266.2 million at December 31, 2009 to $169.3 million at June 30, 2010 to $104.6
million at June 30, 2011.
We believe that the decline in consumer loan charge-offs during the three and six months ended
June 30, 2011 compared to the same 2010 periods reflects a stabilization of Florida market trends.
Additionally, during 2008 BankAtlantic reduced the origination of and utilized more restrictive
underwriting criteria for home equity loans. As a consequence, loan delinquencies and charge-offs
have declined as loan balances of loans originated prior to 2008 have declined.
Included in small business loan charge-offs during the six months ended June 30, 2011 was a
$1.0 million charge-off of a small business mortgage loan. The remaining small business
charge-offs were primarily related to businesses associated with the real estate industry.
The decrease in the provision for loan losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011
compared to the same 2010 periods resulted primarily from lower loan delinquencies, a decline in
loans migrating to non-accrual status and lower charge-offs.
During the three months ended March 31, 2011, BankAtlantic transferred $25.1 million of
residential and $2.5 million of commercial real estate non-accrual loans to loans held for sale with a view
toward selling the loans in the foreseeable future. In connection with that transfer,
BankAtlantic recorded the loans at the lower of cost or

fair value resulting in a $7.1 million reduction in the allowance for loan losses. During
the three months ended June 30, 2011, BankAtlantic transferred $28.4 million of commercial loans to
loans held for sale.
While we believe we have seen some positive trends in the economy both in Florida and
nationally that indicate that credit losses may decline in future periods, if the housing and real
estate industries do not improve or if general economic conditions do not continue to improve in
Florida and nationwide, the credit quality of our loan portfolio may deteriorate and additional
provisions for loan losses will be required. Additionally, we have a significant amount of
variable interest rate loans in our portfolio and a substantial increase in interest rates in the
future would increase the interest payments required on these loans which could have an adverse
effect on the credit quality of those loans.

migrating to a non-accrual status. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, $29.5 million
of loans migrated to a non-accrual status while $105.1 million of loans migrated to non-accrual
during the same 2010 period. Additionally, two non-accrual loans with an aggregate book value of
$11.7 million were sold and $18.0 million of commercial real estate non-accrual loans were
transferred to real estate owned during the six months ended June 30, 2011.
The decline in residential non-accrual loans was primarily the result of charge-offs and fair
value adjustments associated with non-accrual residential loans transferred to loans held for sale.
Also contributing to lower non-accrual residential loans was a decline in delinquencies.
Residential loans past due 30 to 90 days declined from $23.1 million at December 31, 2010 to $16.1
million at June 30, 2011. However, residential loan credit quality is dependent on economic
conditions, specifically unemployment and property values. If economic conditions deteriorate, we
would anticipate higher residential non-accrual loan balances and real estate owned in subsequent
periods.
The higher balance of repossessed assets at June 30, 2011 compared to December 31, 2010
resulted primarily from foreclosures of commercial real estate loans. During the six months ended
June 30, 2011, BankAtlantic transferred $25.0 million of loans to real estate owned and sold $10.1
million of real estate owned properties. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, BankAtlantic
transferred $21.9 million of loans to real estate owned and sold $12.4 million of real estate owned
properties. As non-accrual loans migrate into repossessed assets in the future, we expect
repossessed assets as well as sales of real estate owned to increase.
BankAtlantics
accruing troubled debt restructured loans at June 30, 2011
increased by 52%
compared to accruing troubled debt restructured loans at December 31, 2010. The increase was primarily due to the
restructuring of three commercial real estate loan relationships aggregating $40.0 million and one
commercial non-mortgage relationship aggregating $18.2 million. In response to current market
conditions, BankAtlantic generally decides, on a case-by-case basis, whether to modify loans for
borrowers experiencing financial difficulties and has modified the terms of certain commercial,
small business, residential and consumer home equity loans. Generally, the concessions made to
borrowers experiencing financial difficulties have included a variety of modifications, including
among others, the reduction of contractual interest rates, and 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 until 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.

The decrease in the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2011 compared to December 31,
2010 resulted primarily from a decline in specific valuation allowances on commercial real estate
and residential loans. The commercial real estate specific valuation allowance decline reflects a
slowdown of loans migrating to an impaired classification. The residential loan specific valuation
allowance decline reflects the reduction in allowances associated with $25.1 million of
non-performing loans transferring to loans held for sale as well as reductions in allowances
associated with foreclosed residential loan activity. The general reserve for residential loans
increased $7.2 million during the 2011 quarter reflecting increased charge-offs and declining
collateral values. Consumer loan general reserves were reduced by $6.9 million due primarily to
improvement in delinquency and charge-off trends as
well as declining balances of loans originated prior to 2008.

The lower revenues from service charges on deposits during the three and six months
ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same 2010 periods resulted primarily 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 our
efforts to attract customers who maintain deposit accounts with higher balances, regulatory and
other changes in overdraft policies and changes 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 for point-of-sale and ATM transactions. Additionally,
Congress has established a consumer protection agency which may further limit the assessment of
overdraft fees. In response to the changing industry practices and regulations during the fourth
quarter of 2010, BankAtlantic began converting certain deposit products to fee-based accounts that
encourage higher checking account balances or higher account activity in order to eliminate or
reduce fees. Additionally, during the first quarter of 2011, BankAtlantic revised its overdraft
policies instituting a daily limit on the number of overdraft fees a customer will be charged,
eliminating an overdraft fee for transactions that result in a small overdrawn balance at the end
of the business day, and lowering the amount of overdraft protection provided to a customer. We
anticipate that this trend will continue and that our overdraft fee income will be lower in future
periods, partially offset by increased fees from new deposit products and expanded use of the
banks fee services by deposit customers.
The decrease in other service charges and fees during the three and six months ended June 30,
2011 compared to the same 2010 periods resulted primarily from lower ATM interchange and surcharge
income primarily related to a lower volume of transactions. Additionally, losses on check card
transactions associated with check card fraud increased by $0.2 million during both the three and
six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same 2010 periods.
In June 2011, BankAtlantic sold 19 branches and 2 related facilities in the Tampa area and the
associated deposits to an unrelated financial institution and recognized a $38.7 million gain.
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. BankAtlantic recognized a $24,000 loss in connection with
these derivative contracts during the six months ended June 30, 2011. 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. The
increase in other non-interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the
same 2010 period was primarily the result of $140,000 of foreign currency exchange gains
associated with foreign currency held in cruise ship ATMs during the three months ended June 30,
2011 compared to foreign currency exchange losses of $0.7 million during the same 2010 period.
Foreign currency exchange gains were $0.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011
compared to a $0.7 million loss during the same 2010 period.

The decline in employee compensation and benefits during the three and six months ended June
30, 2011 compared to the same 2010 period resulted primarily from workforce reductions, normal
attrition and the transfer of employees to the purchaser of the Tampa branches in June 2011.
The number of full-time equivalent employees declined from 1,532 as of December 31, 2009 to 1,045
as of June 30, 2011 (a 32% reduction in the workforce) with the Tampa branch sale affecting
approximately 130 employees. Additionally, employee and executive bonuses were $0.5 million and
$1.7 million lower during the 2011 three and six months periods compared to the same 2010 periods,
respectively. The decline in the workforce also resulted in reduced benefit costs compared to
2010, relating primarily to health insurance, payroll taxes and share-based compensation.
The decline in occupancy and equipment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011
compared to the same 2010 periods resulted primarily from $1.9 million and $2.7 million of lower
rent expense, building maintenance and real estate taxes related to the consolidation of
back-office facilities, the sale of the Tampa branches and the termination of leases executed for
branch expansion during prior periods.
The decrease in advertising and business promotion expense during the three and six months
ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same 2010 periods related primarily to BankAtlantic focusing
its marketing efforts more on customer relationships and less on advertising and media and direct
mail promotions.
The increase in check losses for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same
2010 period resulted from a $0.3 million increase in customer check fraud. This increase was
partially offset by a decline in write-offs associated with overdrafts related primarily to
revisions to our overdraft policies limiting the number of overdrafts per day and the dollar
amount of overdrafts.
The decline in professional fees during the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the
same 2010 period resulted primarily from $3.3 million of insurance reimbursements in connection
with class action securities litigation compared to $1.4 million of reimbursements during the
same 2010 period. The remaining decrease in professional fees reflects lower legal costs
associated with class action securities litigation as the trial was completed during the fourth
quarter of 2010. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, insurance reimbursement in
connection with the class action securities litigation was $3.3 million compared to $3.1 million
during the same 2010 period.
The reduction in telecommunication costs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011
compared to the same 2010 periods primarily resulted from higher call center volume associated with
the implementation of a new on-line banking product during the three months ended June 30, 2010.

The decrease in the provision for tax certificate losses during the three and six months
ended June 30, 2011 reflects lower charge-offs and increases in tax certificate reserves
associated with declining portfolio balances. The majority of the provision for tax certificates
relates to out-of-state certificates. We have significantly reduced the acquisition of
out-of-state tax certificates and have concentrated the majority of our tax certificate
acquisitions in Florida.
The costs associated with debt redemptions during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011
reflect prepayment penalties on the early repayment of $85 million of institutional time deposits
and $25 million of public fund time deposits. Included in costs associated with debt redemptions
during the six months ended June 30, 2011 were prepayment penalties for the early repayment of
$40.0 million of FHLB advance obligations.
The impairment of loans held for sale represents lower of cost or market adjustments on loans
classified as held for sale. The impairment resulted primarily from lower
property values obtained from updated valuations of the underlying loan collateral. Residential
loans held for sale were impaired by $1.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2011.
The remaining loan impairments were related to commercial real estate loans.
The recovery of employee termination (reversals) costs during the three and six months ended
June 30, 2011 reflects the forfeiture of termination benefits upon the re-hiring of terminated
employees.
Lease termination (reversals) costs represent lease contracts, net of deferred rent reversals,
originally executed for branch expansion. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011,
BankAtlantic terminated one lease and four leases and recognized a recovery of $0.3 million and
$1.4 million, respectively. BankAtlantic is attempting to sublease or terminate lease contracts
executed in connection with its branch expansion in prior periods and could recognize losses
associated with these operating leases in subsequent periods as these leases are measured at fair
value.
Impairments on real estate held for sale during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011
and 2010 represents updated valuations on properties acquired for store expansion.
Impairment of real estate owned during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 reflects
updated valuations on properties. The majority of the impairment ($5.2 million) relates to one
property during the three months ended June 30, 2011. The property impairment resulted from an
updated valuation.
The increase in other non-interest expense was primarily the result of higher foreclosure
costs. Foreclosure costs increased by $0.5 million and $0.4 million during the three and six
months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same 2010 periods.

Net interest expense increased during the second quarter and first six months of 2011
compared to the same 2010 periods as a result of higher average debenture balances and average
interest rates. The average balances on junior subordinated debentures increased from $312 million
and $311 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 to $327 million and $325
million during the same 2011 periods. The increase in average debenture balances resulted from the
deferral of interest which began in March 2009. Average rates on junior subordinated
debentures increased from 4.69% and 4.65% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010
to 4.73% and 4.74% during the same 2011 periods. Also included in net interest expense during the
three and six months ended

June 30, 2011 was $57,000 and $106,000, respectively, of interest income on two performing
loans as well as $0 and $37,000, respectively, of investment dividend income associated with an
equity security. Interest income on performing loans during the three and six months ended June
30, 2010 was $59,000 and $114,000 and dividend income from the equity security was $22,000 and
$45,000, respectively. The equity security ceased paying dividends during the second quarter of
2011.
Non-interest income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 reflects a $1.5
million impairment of an equity security. There were no investment securities impairments during
the three and six months ended June 30, 2010. Equity earnings from the Parent Companys investment
in statutory business trusts that issue trust preferred securities were $0.4 million and $0.8
million, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $0.2 million and $0.4
million during the same 2010 periods, respectively. Also included in non-interest income during
the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was $0.3 million and $0.6 million of fees for
executive services provided to BankAtlantic compared to $0.2 million and $0.5 million during the
same periods during 2010, respectively.
The decrease in non-interest expense during the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to the
same 2010 period reflects a $0.6 million loss on the sale of real estate owned during the 2010
quarter compared to a $16,000 gain on the sale of real estate owned during the same 2011 period.
Also, employee compensation decreased by $0.4 million associated with the elimination of executive
bonuses during 2011. Non-interest expense during the three months ended June 30, 2011 includes a
$0.4 million lower of cost or market adjustment (LOCOM) associated with loans held for sale and
$0.4 million of real estate owned impairments compared to no adjustments for loans held for sale
and $0.7 million of real estate owned write-downs during the same 2010 periods. The lower of cost
or market adjustments and real estate owned impairments resulted from updated property valuations.
The increase in non-interest expense during the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the
same 2010 period resulted primarily from $3.1 million of real estate owned impairments during 2011
compared to $0.7 million of impairments during 2010. The increase in non-interest expense was
partially offset by lower compensation expense and lower losses on the sale of real estate owned.
In March 2008, BankAtlantic transferred non-performing loans to a work-out subsidiary of the

million commercial residential loan, charged-off $1.3 of loans, recognized $0.4 million lower of
cost or market adjustments on loans held for sale, and sold a $1.7 million loan for a $99,000 loss.
The work-out subsidiary also received $0.2 million of loan principal repayments during the six
months ended June 30, 2011.

The Parent Companys non-accrual loans include large loan balance lending relationships.
Two relationships account for 82.1% of the $9.4 million of non-accrual loans held by the Parent

(1) | During 2011, the Company recognized partial charge-offs on relationship No. 1 aggregating $1.2 million. | |
(2) | During 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011, the Company recognized partial charge-offs and LOCOM adjustments on relationship No. 2 aggregating $16.4 million. | |
(3) | Recorded investment is the Unpaid Principal Balance less charge-offs and deferred fees. |
The loans that comprise the above relationships are all collateral dependent. As such,
we established specific reserves, recognized partial charge-offs or calculated LOCOM adjustments 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 $1.3 million of charge-offs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 were
comprised of a $1.2 million charge-off of a commercial land loan and a $0.1 million charge-off of a
commercial residential loan. The Parent Company reversed a $0.8 million specific valuation
allowance related to the commercial land loan charged-off during the three months ended June 30,
2011.
The $5.7 million of charge-offs during the three months ended June 30, 2010 related to one
commercial residential 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 loans entire balance of $1.2 million was charged-off upon the
sale of the remaining collateral. The Parent Company established specific reserves of $5.7 million
on these two loans in prior periods.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc.
Currently, the Parent Companys principal source of liquidity is its cash and funds obtained
from its wholly-owned work-out subsidiary. The Parent Company also may obtain funds through the
issuance of equity and debt securities and through dividends, although no dividends from
BankAtlantic are anticipated or contemplated for the foreseeable future. The Parent Company has
used its funds to contribute capital to its subsidiaries, and fund operations, including funding
servicing costs and real estate owned operating expenses of its wholly-owned work-
out subsidiary. At June 30, 2011, BankAtlantic Bancorp had approximately $329.6 million of
junior subordinated
105
Table of Contents
Financial Services
(BankAtlantic Bancorp)
(BankAtlantic Bancorp)
debentures outstanding with maturities ranging from 2032 through 2037. The aggregate annual
interest obligations on this indebtedness totaled approximately $14.6 million based on interest
rates at June 30, 2011, which are generally indexed to three-month LIBOR. In order to preserve
liquidity in the current economic environment, the 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 the 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 $35.6 million that would otherwise have been paid during the 30
months ended June 30, 2011 were deferred. The Parent Company has the ability under the junior
subordinated debentures to continue to defer interest payments for up to another 10 consecutive
quarterly periods through ongoing appropriate notices to each of the trustees, and will make a
decision each quarter as to whether to continue the deferral of interest. During the deferral
period, interest will continue to accrue on the junior subordinated debentures at the stated coupon
rate, including on the deferred interest, and the Parent Company will continue to record the
interest expense associated with the junior subordinated debentures. During the deferral period,
the Parent Company may not, among other things and with limited exceptions, pay cash dividends on
or repurchase its common stock nor make any payment on outstanding debt obligations that rank
equally with or junior to the junior subordinated debentures. The Parent Company may end the
deferral period by paying all accrued and unpaid interest. The 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 the 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 $73.9 million of unpaid interest based on average interest rates as of
June 30, 2011. The Companys financial condition and liquidity could be adversely affected if
interest payments continue to be deferred.
The Parent Company has not received dividends from BankAtlantic since the year ended December
31, 2008. The ability of BankAtlantic to pay dividends or make other distributions to the Parent
Company in subsequent periods is subject to regulatory approval as provided in the Bank Order. It
is unlikely that the regulators will approve a dividend from BankAtlantic based on BankAtlantics
results and other matters set forth in the Bank Order. As such, the Parent Company does not
expect to receive cash dividends from BankAtlantic for the foreseeable future. The Parent Company
may receive dividends from its asset work-out subsidiary upon the monetizing of the subsidiaries
non-performing loans and real estate owned. However, the Parent Company may not be able to
monetize the loans or real estate owned 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 16, 2011, BankAtlantic Bancorp completed its
rights offering under the registration statement issuing 15,129,524 shares of Class A Common Stock
for net proceeds of $11.0 million. As a result of the completion of a $20 million rights offering
during the year ended December 31, 2010 and the $11.3 million rights offering in June 2011, $43.7
million of securities remain available for future issuance under this registration statement. The
Parent Company utilized the proceeds from the rights offering plus $9.0 million in cash to make a
$20 million capital contribution to BankAtlantic.
In October 2010, BankAtlantic Bancorp filed a registration statement with the Securities and
Exchange Commission registering the offer and sale of up to $125 million of Class A Common Stock
through an underwritten public offering. This registration statement has not yet been declared
effective and it is uncertain whether the Company will pursue the sale of any of the shares of
Class A Common Stock under this registration statement.
The Parent Company is generally required to provide BankAtlantic with managerial assistance
and capital. Any such financing could be sought through public or private offerings, in privately
negotiated transactions or otherwise. Additionally, we could pursue financings at the Parent
Company level or directly at BankAtlantic or both. Any financing involving the issuance of
BankAtlantic Bancorp Class A Common Stock or securities convertible or exercisable for our Class A
Common Stock could be highly dilutive for our existing shareholders and any issuance
of stock at the BankAtlantic level would dilute the Parent Companys ownership interest in
BankAtlantic. Such financing may not be available to us on favorable terms or at all.

The non-performing loans transferred to the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company may also
provide a potential source of liquidity through workouts, repayments of the loans or sales of
interests in the subsidiary. The balance of these loans and real estate owned at June 30, 2011

cash flows of $2.2 million from its work-out subsidiary. The Parent Company does not have debt
maturing until March 2032 and has the ability to defer interest payments on its junior
subordinated debentures until December 2013.
BankAtlantic Liquidity and Capital Resources
BankAtlantics primary sources of funds are deposits; principal repayments of loans, tax
certificates and securities available for sale; proceeds from the sale of loans, securities
available for sale and real estate owned; proceeds from securities sold under agreements to
repurchase; advances from FHLB; Treasury and Federal Reserve lending programs; interest payments
on loans and securities; capital contributions from the Parent Company and other funds generated
by operations. These funds are primarily utilized to fund loan disbursements and purchases,
deposit outflows, repayments of securities sold under agreements to repurchase, repayments of
advances from FHLB and other borrowings, purchases of tax certificates and securities available
for sale, acquisitions of properties and equipment, and operating expenses. BankAtlantics
liquidity will depend on its ability to generate sufficient cash to support loan demand, to meet
deposit withdrawals, and to pay operating expenses. BankAtlantics securities portfolio provides
an internal source of liquidity through its short-term investments as well as scheduled maturities
and interest payments. Loan repayments and loan sales also provide an internal source of
liquidity. BankAtlantic maintained excess cash balances during the six months ended June 30, 2011
in order to fund the June 2011 sale of the Tampa branch network and improve liquidity and its
risk-based regulatory capital ratios. BankAtlantics 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. BankAtlantics 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, an increase in interest rates or an
increase in liquidity needs, may require BankAtlantic to offer higher interest rates to maintain
deposits, which may not be successful in generating deposits, and which would increase its cost of
funds or reduce its net interest income. BankAtlantic is restricted by banking regulators from
offering interest rates on its deposits which are significantly higher than market area rates.
Additionally, BankAtlantics 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.
BankAtlantics unused lines of credit decreased from $843 million as of December 31, 2010 to $832
million as of June 30, 2011 due to lower loan and securities available for sale balances partially
offset by lower FHLB advance balances. Additionally, interest rate changes, additional collateral
requirements, disruptions in the capital markets, deterioration in BankAtlantics financial
condition, litigation or regulatory action may make borrowings unavailable or make terms of the
borrowings and deposits less favorable. There is a risk that our cost of funds will increase and
that the borrowing capacity from funding sources may decrease.
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 obtain a $146.1 million letter of credit primarily securing public deposits as of June
30, 2011. There were no FHLB borrowings outstanding as of June 30, 2011. The line of credit is
secured by a blanket lien on BankAtlantics residential mortgage loans and
certain commercial real estate and consumer home equity loans. BankAtlantics unused available
borrowings under this line of credit were approximately $541 million at June 30, 2011. An
additional source of liquidity for BankAtlantic is its securities portfolio. As of June 30, 2011,
BankAtlantic had $257 million of unpledged securities
107

(BankAtlantic Bancorp)
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 $1.8 million in funding and at June 30, 2011, BankAtlantic
had $1.0 million of short-term borrowings outstanding under this program. BankAtlantic is also
eligible to participate in the Federal Reserves discount window program under its secondary credit
program. The amount that can be borrowed under this program is dependent on the delivery of
collateral to the Federal Reserve, and BankAtlantic had unused available borrowings of
approximately $33.8 million as of June 30, 2011, with no amounts outstanding under this program at
June 30, 2011. We are not permitted to incur day-light overdrafts in our Federal Reserve bank
account and accordingly, our intent is to continue to maintain sufficient funds at the Federal
Reserve to support intraday activity. 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 BankAtlantics liquidity could be materially adversely
affected.
At June 30, 2011, BankAtlantic had no securities sold under agreements to repurchase
outstanding. During the second quarter of 2011, BankAtlantic discontinued entering into repurchase
agreements with its customers and transferred $12.2 million of securities sold under repurchase
agreements to non-interest bearing deposits in June 2011. Additionally, BankAtlantic had total cash
on hand or with other financial institutions of $430.5 million at June 30, 2011.
Included in deposits at June 30, 2011 was $9.2 million in brokered deposits. BankAtlantic is
currently restricted by its regulators from acquiring additional brokered deposits or renewing its
existing brokered deposits, and expects the balance of its brokered deposits to continue to
decline.
BankAtlantics liquidity may be affected by unforeseen demands on cash. Our objective in
managing liquidity is to maintain sufficient resources of available liquid assets to address our
funding needs. Multiple market disruptions and regulatory actions may make it more difficult for us
and for financial institutions in general 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. Further deterioration in the financial markets or adverse regulatory actions may further
impact us or result in additional market-wide liquidity problems, and affect our liquidity
position. We believe BankAtlantic has improved its liquidity position during the year ended
December 31, 2010 and the six months ended June 30, 2011 by paying down borrowings and reducing
assets.
BankAtlantics commitment to originate and purchase loans was $16.7 million and $5.4 million,
respectively, at June 30, 2011 compared to $30.1 million of commitments to originate loans at June
30, 2010. BankAtlantic had no commitments to purchase loans at June 30, 2010. At June 30, 2011,
total loan commitments represented approximately 0.81% of net loans receivable.
BankAtlantics actual capital amounts and ratios are presented in the table below and are
compared to the prompt corrective action (PCA) well capitalized requirements and the capital
requirements set forth in the Bank Order (dollars in thousands):

Pursuant to the Bank Order, BankAtlantic was required to attain by June 30, 2011 and
maintain a tier 1/core capital ratio equal to or greater than 8% and a total risk-based capital
ratio equal to or greater than 14%. BankAtlantic historically maintained its regulatory capital
ratios at levels that exceeded prompt corrective action well capitalized requirements; however,
based on BankAtlantics risk profile, the OTS raised its regulatory capital requirements above the
well capitalized amounts. The Parent Company and BankAtlantic will seek to maintain the higher
capital requirements under the Bank Order through efforts that may include the issuance of its
Class A Common Stock through a public or private offering. Additionally, BankAtlantic may continue
to seek to reduce its asset size in order to improve its regulatory capital ratios, although this
may make it more difficult to achieve profitability. The Company may not be successful in raising
additional capital in subsequent periods upon the contemplated terms, or at all. The inability to
raise capital or otherwise continue to meet regulatory requirements in the future would have a
material adverse impact on the Companys business, results of operations and financial condition.

Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes in our legal proceedings from

Bluegreen
Tennessee Audit Matter
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 have vigorously opposed 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. By letter dated May 25, 2011, the State of Tennessee Department of Revenue issued a
decision in which it held that two of the three types of transactions in question were taxable.
The Department of Revenue confirmed that Bluegreen had already remitted the proper amount of sales
tax due on one of the two types of taxable transactions, but have taken the position that we owed a
total of $731,000 in taxes and interest based on the second type of transaction. On August 1, 2011
Bluegreen filed suit in the Chancery Court of Davidson County, Tennessee for the purpose of
invalidating and setting aside the tax assessment made against Bluegreen by the Department of
Revenue.
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
During 2006, Joseph M. Scheyd, Jr., P.A., 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. 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 is entitled to a return of the full escrow deposit.
On June 1, 2011, the trial court made a finding that Bluegreen breached the purchase and sale
contract and that the plaintiff was entitled to the escrow deposit and all accrued interest.
Bluegreen has filed a notice of appeal with the First District Court of Appeal seeking the result
of the trial courts decision. In connection with the appeal, the escrow deposit and all accrued
interest have been placed in the appropriate Court registry pending the outcome of the appeal.
State of Florida Matter Relating to Timeshare Sales and Marketing
The Office of the Attorney General for the State of Florida (the AGSF) has advised Bluegreen that
it has accumulated a number of consumer complaints since 2005 against Bluegreen and/or its
affiliates related to timeshare sales and marketing, and has requested that Bluegreen propose a
resolution on a collective basis of any outstanding complaints. The AGSF has also requested that
Bluegreen enter into a written agreement in which to establish a process and timeframe for
determining consumer eligibility for relief (including, where applicable, monetary restitution).
Bluegreen has determined that many of these complaints were previously addressed and/or resolved.
Bluegreen is cooperating with the State and does not believe this matter will have a material
effect on its results of operations, financial condition or on Bluegreens sales and marketing
activities in Florida.
BankAtlantic Bancorp
In re BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. Securities Litigation, No. 0:07-cv-61542-UU, United States
District Court, Southern District of Florida
On October 29, 2007, Joseph C. Hubbard filed a class action in the United States District Court for
the Southern District of Florida against BankAtlantic Bancorp and five of its current or former
officers. The defendants in this action are BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc., James A. White, Valerie C.
Toalson, Jarett S. Levan, John E. Abdo, and Alan B. Levan. The Complaint, which was later amended,
alleges that during the purported class period of November 9, 2005 through October 25, 2007,
BankAtlantic Bancorp and the named officers knowingly and/or recklessly made
111
Table of Contents
misrepresentations of material fact regarding BankAtlantic and specifically BankAtlantics loan
portfolio and allowance for loan losses. The Complaint asserted claims for violations of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 and sought unspecified damages. On December 12,
2007, the Court consolidated into Hubbard a separately filed action captioned Alarm Specialties,
Inc. v. BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc., No. 0:07cv-61623-WPD. On February 5, 2008, the Court
appointed State-Boston Retirement System lead plaintiff and Lubaton Sucharow LLP to serve as lead
counsel pursuant to the provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act.
On November 18, 2010, a jury returned a verdict awarding $2.41 per share to shareholders who
purchased shares of BankAtlantic Bancorps Class A Common Stock during the period of April 26, 2007
to October 26, 2007 and retained those shares until the end of the period. The jury rejected the
plaintiffs claim for the six month period from October 19, 2006 to April 25, 2007. Prior to the
beginning of the trial, plaintiffs abandoned any claim for any prior period. On April 25, 2011, the
Court granted defendants post-trial motion for judgment as a matter of law and vacated the jury
verdict, resulting in a judgment in favor of all defendants on all claims. The Plaintiffs have
appealed the Courts order setting aside the jury verdict.
Jordan Arizmendi, et al., individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, v.
BankAtlantic, Case No. 09-059341 (19), Circuit Court of the 17th Judicial Circuit for Broward
County, Florida.
In November 2010, the two pending class action complaints against BankAtlantic associated with
overdraft fees were consolidated. The Complaint, which asserts claims for breach of contract and
breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing, alleges that BankAtlantic improperly
re-sequenced debit card transactions from largest to smallest, improperly assessed overdraft fees
on positive balances, and improperly imposed sustained overdraft fees on customers. BankAtlantic
has filed a motion to dismiss which is pending with the Court.
Office of Thrift Supervision Overdraft Processing Examination
As previously disclosed, the Office of Thrift Supervision advised BankAtlantic that it had
determined that BankAtlantic had engaged in deceptive and unfair practices in violation of Section
5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act relating to certain of BankAtlantics deposit-related
products. On June 2, 2011, the OTS concluded that BankAtlantic engaged in certain deceptive and
unfair practices in violation of Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act and OTS regulations,
and requested that BankAtlantic submit a restitution plan for OTSs consideration. The OTS also
advised BankAtlantic that BankAtlantic could be subject to civil money penalties. BankAtlantic
believes it has complied with all applicable laws and OTS guidelines and on July 5, 2011,
BankAtlantic filed an appeal of the OTS positions. That appeal is now before the OCC which will
review the issues under its process and guidelines.
Securities and Exchange Commission Investigation
BankAtlantic Bancorp has received a notice of investigation from the Securities and Exchange
Commission, Miami Regional Office and subpoenas for information. The subpoenas requested a broad
range of documents relating to, among other matters, recent and pending litigation to which
BankAtlantic Bancorp is or was a party, certain of BankAtlantic Bancorps non-performing,
non-accrual and charged-off loans, BankAtlantic Bancorps cost saving measures, loan
classifications, BankAtlantic Bancorps asset workout subsidiary, and the recent Orders with the
OTS entered into by BankAtlantic Bancorp Parent Company and BankAtlantic. Various current and
former employees also received subpoenas for documents and testimony.
The Miami regional office staff of the SEC has indicated that it is recommending that the SEC bring
a civil action against BankAtlantic Bancorp alleging that BankAtlantic Bancorp violated certain
provisions of federal securities laws, including Section 10(b) of the Securities and Exchange Act
of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. BankAtlantic Bancorp was also informed that its chief executive
officer received a similar communication. In communications between BankAtlantic Bancorps
counsel and the Miami regional office staff, BankAtlantic Bancorp has learned that the basis for
the recommended actions were many of the same arguments brought in the private class action
securities litigation recently concluded at the district court level in favor of BankAtlantic
Bancorp and the individual defendants. In addition, the Miami regional office staff raised issues
relating to the classification and valuation of certain loans included in BankAtlantic Bancorps
financial information for the last quarter of 2007 and in its annual report on Form 10-K for the
2007 fiscal year. BankAtlantic Bancorp and its CEO provided a response to the issues raised by the
Miami regional office staff. If litigation is brought, the SEC may seek remedies including an
injunction against future violations of federal securities laws, civil money penalties and an
officer and director bar. BankAtlantic Bancorp believes that it has fulfilled all of its
obligations under securities laws and, if such actions are brought by the SEC against BankAtlantic
Bancorp and/or any of its officers, such actions would be vigorously defended.

Lieberman, Case No. 0:08-cv-61018-UU, United States District Court, Southern District of Florida
In July 2008, BankAtlantic Bancorp, certain officers and Directors were named in a lawsuit which
alleges that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties by engaging in certain
lending practices with respect to BankAtlantic Bancorps Commercial Real Estate Loan Portfolio. The
Complaint further alleges that BankAtlantic Bancorp s public filings and statements did not fully
disclose the risks associated with the Commercial Real Estate Loan Portfolio and sought damages on
behalf of BankAtlantic Bancorp . In July 2011, the case was dismissed and the parties exchanged
mutual releases and neither the defendants nor BankAtlantic Bancorp made any monetary payments.
