Woodbridge Holdings Corporation
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Presentation of Interim Financial Statements
Woodbridge Holdings Corporation (Woodbridge or the Company) and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries engage in business activities through its Land Division and Other Operations segment.
Historically, the Companys operations were primarily within the real estate industry; however, the
Companys recent business strategy has included the pursuit of investments and acquisitions within
or outside of the real estate industry, as well as the continued development of master-planned
communities. Under this business model, the Company likely will not generate a consistent earnings
stream and the composition of the Companys revenues may vary widely due to factors inherent in a
particular investment, including the maturity and cyclical nature of, and market conditions
relating to, the business invested in. Net investment gains and other income will be based
primarily on the success of the Companys investments as well as overall market conditions.
On July 2, 2009, the Company entered into a definitive merger agreement with its parent, BFC
Financial Corporation (BFC). Subject to the terms and conditions of the agreement, the Company
will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of BFC and the Companys shareholders (other than BFC) will
become shareholders of BFC. See Note 23 for further information regarding the merger agreement and
the proposed merger.
The Land Division currently consists of the operations of Core Communities, LLC (Core
Communities or Core), which develops master-planned communities. The Other Operations segment
currently includes the parent company operations of Woodbridge (the Parent Company), the
consolidated operations of Pizza Fusion Holdings, Inc. (Pizza Fusion), the consolidated
operations of Carolina Oak Homes, LLC (Carolina Oak), which engaged in homebuilding activities in
South Carolina prior to the suspension of those activities in the fourth quarter of 2008, and the
activities of Cypress Creek Capital Holdings, LLC (Cypress Creek Capital) and Snapper Creek
Equity Management, LLC (Snapper Creek). An equity investment in Bluegreen Corporation
(Bluegreen) and an investment in Office Depot, Inc. (Office Depot) are also included in the
Other Operations segment.
Prior to November 9, 2007, the Company also conducted homebuilding operations through Levitt
and Sons, LLC (Levitt and Sons), which comprised the Companys Homebuilding Division. The
Homebuilding Division consisted of two reportable operating segments, the Primary Homebuilding
segment and the Tennessee Homebuilding segment. As previously reported, on November 9, 2007, Levitt
and Sons and substantially all of its subsidiaries (the Debtors) filed voluntary petitions for
relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the Chapter 11 Cases) in the
United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida (the Bankruptcy Court). In
connection with the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, Woodbridge deconsolidated Levitt and Sons as of
November 9, 2007, eliminating all future operations of Levitt and Sons from Woodbridges financial
results of operations. As a result of the deconsolidation of Levitt and Sons, in accordance with
Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements (ARB No. 51),
the Company recorded its interest in Levitt and Sons under the cost method of accounting.
As previously reported, on February 20, 2009, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming
a plan of liquidation jointly proposed by Levitt and Sons and the Official Committee of Unsecured
Creditors. That order also approved the settlement pursuant to the settlement agreement that was
entered into on June 27, 2008. No appeal or rehearing of the Bankruptcy Courts order was timely
filed by any party, and the settlement was consummated on March 3, 2009, at which time payment was
made in accordance with the terms and conditions of the settlement agreement. Under cost method
accounting, the cost of settlement and the related $52.9 million liability (less $500,000 which was
determined as the settlement holdback and remained as an accrual pursuant to the settlement
agreement) was recognized into income in the first quarter of 2009, resulting in a $40.4 million
gain on settlement of investment in subsidiary. See Note 22 for further information regarding the
bankruptcy of Levitt and Sons.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-segment transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial
information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the
6
information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement have been
included. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2009.
The year end balance sheet data for 2008 was derived from the December 31, 2008 audited
consolidated financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the Companys consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto
included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. Certain
reclassifications have been made to prior periods consolidated financial statements to be
consistent with the current periods presentation.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In May 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 165, Subsequent Events (SFAS No. 165). SFAS No. 165
establishes accounting and reporting standards for events that occur after the balance sheet date
but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. In addition, SFAS No. 165
requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the
basis for selecting that date, that is, whether that date represents the date the financial
statements were issued or were available to be issued. SFAS No. 165 was effective for fiscal years
and interim periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 165 did not have a
material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements. The Company has performed an
evaluation of subsequent events through August 10, 2009, which is the day the financial statements
were issued.
In April 2009, the FASB issued three related FASB Staff Positions (FSPs): (i) FSP FAS 157-4,
Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability have
Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly (FSP FAS 157-4), (ii)
FSP FAS 115-2 and FSP FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments
(FSP FAS 115-2/FAS 124-2), and (iii) FSP FAS No. 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about
Fair Value of Financial Instruments (FSP FAS 107-1/APB 28-1), each of which is effective for
interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. FSP FAS 157-4 provides guidance on how to
determine the fair value of assets and liabilities under SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements
(SFAS No. 157) in the current economic environment and reemphasizes that the objective of a fair
value measurement remains an exit price. If the Company was to conclude that there has been a
significant decrease in the volume and level of activity of the asset or liability in relation to
normal market activities, quoted market values may not be representative of fair value and the
Company may conclude that a change in valuation technique or the use of multiple valuation
techniques may be appropriate. FSP FAS 115-2/FAS 124-2 modifies the requirements for recognizing
other-than-temporarily impaired debt securities and revises the existing impairment model for such
securities, by modifying the current intent and ability indicator in determining whether a debt
security is other-than-temporarily impaired. FSP FAS 107-1/APB 28-1 enhances the disclosure of
instruments under the scope of SFAS No. 157 for both interim and annual periods. The adoption of
these FSPs did not have a material impact on the Companys unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements.
On December 4, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), Business Combinations
(SFAS No. 141(R)). SFAS No. 141(R) significantly changed the accounting for business
combinations. Under SFAS No. 141(R), subject to limited exceptions, an acquiring entity will be
required to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the
acquisition-date fair value. Additionally, due diligence and transaction costs incurred to effect a
business combination will be expensed as incurred, as opposed to being capitalized as part of the
acquisition purchase price. SFAS No. 141(R) also includes a substantial number of new disclosure
requirements. The adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) on January 1, 2009 did not impact the Companys
results of operations or financial position, but will impact the accounting for any future
acquisitions.
On December 4, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated
Financial Statements-an Amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS No. 160). SFAS No. 160 establishes new
accounting and reporting standards for a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the
deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Specifically, this statement requires the recognition of a
non-controlling interest (previously referred to as minority interest) as equity in the
consolidated financial statements separate from the parents equity. The amount of net income
attributable to the non-controlling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the
face of the income statement. SFAS No. 160 clarifies that changes in a parents ownership interest
in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation are equity transactions if the parent retains
its controlling financial interest. In addition, this statement requires that a parent recognize a
gain or loss in net income when a
7
subsidiary is deconsolidated. Such gain or loss will be measured using the fair value of the
non-controlling equity investment on the deconsolidation date. SFAS No. 160 also includes expanded
disclosure requirements regarding the interests of the parent and its non-controlling interest.
SFAS No. 160 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2009.
Revisions and Reclassifications
In 2007, Core Communities began soliciting bids from several potential buyers to purchase
assets associated with two of Cores commercial leasing projects (the Projects). As the criteria
for assets held for sale had been met in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS No. 144), the assets were reclassified to
assets held for sale and the liabilities related to those assets were reclassified to liabilities
related to assets held for sale. The results of operations for these assets were reclassified as
discontinued operations. During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company determined that given the
difficulty in predicting the timing or probability of a sale of the assets associated with the
Projects as a result of, among other things, the economic downturn and disruptions in the credit
markets, the requirements of SFAS No. 144 necessary to classify these assets as held for sale and
to be included in discontinued operations were no longer met and the Company could not assert the
Projects could be sold within a year. Therefore, the results of operations for these Projects were
reclassified back into continuing operations for prior periods to conform to the current periods
presentation.
A revision was recorded by the Company in the first quarter of 2009 to account for assets and
non-controlling interests not recorded properly in the initial application of purchase accounting
of the Companys investment in Pizza Fusion. The adjustment resulted in an increase in cash of $3.0
million, goodwill of $1.1 million and non-controlling interest of $4.1 million. The Company has
also recorded an increase in cash flows from investing activities in the six months ended June 30,
2009 of $3.0 million which is included in adjustment to acquisition of Pizza Fusion in the
accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30,
2009. The Company does not believe that this revision had a material impact on the Companys
consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2008 or December 31, 2008, nor did it materially
impact the Companys consolidated statements of cash flows for the periods then ended. The
revision also had no impact on net income or loss or on cash flows from operating activities for
the three month periods ended September 30, 2008 or December 31, 2008.
2. Liquidity Core Communities
Cores operations have been negatively impacted by the downturn in the residential and
commercial real-estate industries. Market conditions have adversely affected Cores commercial
leasing projects and its ability to complete sales of its real estate inventory and, as a
consequence, Core is experiencing cash flow deficits. Possible liquidity sources available to Core
include the sale of real estate inventory, including commercial properties, as well as debt and
outside equity financing, including secured borrowings using unencumbered land; however, there is
no assurance that any or all of these alternatives will be available to Core on attractive terms,
if at all, or that Core will otherwise be in a position to utilize such alternatives to improve its
cash position. In addition, while funding from Woodbridge is a possible source of liquidity,
Woodbridge is generally under no contractual obligation to provide funding to Core and there is no
assurance that it will do so.
Certain of Cores debt facilities contain financial covenants generally requiring certain net
worth, liquidity and loan to value ratios. In January of 2009, Core was advised by one of its
lenders that the lender had received an external appraisal on the land that serves as collateral
for a development mortgage note payable, which had an outstanding balance of $86.4 million at June
30, 2009. The appraised value would suggest the potential for a re-margining payment to bring the
note payable back in line with the minimum loan-to-value requirement. The lender is conducting its
internal review procedures, including the determination of the appraised value. As of the date of
this filing, Core is in discussions with the lender to restructure the loan which may eliminate any
re-margining requirements; however, there is no assurance that these discussions will be successful
or that re-margining payments will not otherwise be required in the future.
As discussed above, the operations of Core have been negatively impacted by the deterioration
of the real estate market, and Core may be required to make re-margining payments under certain of
its debt facilities. These factors have caused substantial doubt to be raised regarding Cores
ability to continue as a going concern if Woodbridge chooses not to provide Core with the cash
needed to meet its obligations when and if they arise. Cores results are reported separately for
segment purposes as the Land Division segment in Note 17. The
8
financial information provided in the Land Division segment and in the unaudited consolidated
financial statements has been prepared assuming that Core will meet its obligations and continue as
a going concern. As a result, the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the financial
information provided for the Land Division do not include any adjustments that might result from
the outcome of this uncertainty.
3. Business Combination
On September 18, 2008, the Company, indirectly through its wholly-owned subsidiary, PF Program
Partnership, LP (formerly Woodbridge Equity Fund II LP), purchased for an aggregate of $3.0
million, 2,608,696 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of Pizza Fusion, together with
warrants to purchase up to 1,500,000 additional shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of
Pizza Fusion at an exercise price of $1.44 per share. The Company also received options,
exercisable on or prior to September 18, 2009, to purchase up to 521,740 additional shares of
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of Pizza Fusion at a price of $1.15 per share, which options,
if exercised, entitled the Company to receive warrants to purchase up to 300,000 additional shares
of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of Pizza Fusion at an exercise price of $1.44 per share.
The warrants have a term of 10 years, subject to earlier expiration in certain circumstances. As
discussed below and in Note 23, the Company exercised these options on July 2, 2009.
Pizza Fusion is a restaurant franchise which was founded in 2006 and which operates in a niche
market within the quick service and organic food industries. As of June 30, 2009, Pizza Fusion was
operating 20 locations throughout the United States and had entered into franchise agreements to
open an additional 9 stores by February 2010.
During 2008, the Company evaluated its investment in Pizza Fusion under FASB Interpretation
No. 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN No. 46(R)), and determined that
Pizza Fusion is a variable interest entity. Pizza Fusion is in its infancy stages and will likely
require additional financial support for its normal operations and further expansion of its
franchise operations. Furthermore, on a fully diluted basis, the Companys investment represents a
significant interest in Pizza Fusion and, therefore, the Company is expected to bear the majority
of the variability of the risks and rewards of Pizza Fusion. Additionally, as shareholder of the
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company has control over the Board of Directors of Pizza
Fusion. Based upon these factors, the Company concluded that it is the primary beneficiary.
Accordingly, under purchase accounting, the Company has consolidated the assets and liabilities of
Pizza Fusion in accordance with SFAS No. 141 Business Combinations. However, the assets of Pizza
Fusion are not available to Woodbridge.
The Company recorded $5.5 million in other intangible assets, including $1.1 million in
goodwill related to its investment in Pizza Fusion. The intangible assets consist primarily of the
value of franchise agreements that had been executed by Pizza Fusion at the acquisition date. These
intangible assets will be amortized over the length of the franchise agreements, which is generally
10 years.
On July 2, 2009, the Company exercised its option to purchase 521,740 shares of Series B
Preferred Stock of Pizza Fusion at a price of $1.15 per share, or an aggregate purchase price of
$600,000. Upon the exercise of the option, the Company was also granted warrants to purchase up to
300,000 additional shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of Pizza Fusion at an exercise
price of $1.44 per share. The warrants have a term of 10 years, subject to earlier expiration under
certain circumstances.
4. Stock Based Compensation
The Company recognizes stock based compensation expense under the provisions of SFAS No. 123
(revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123R), using the modified prospective transition
method. SFAS No. 123R requires a public entity to measure compensation cost associated with awards
of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the awards over the requisite service
period. SFAS No. 123R requires public entities to initially measure compensation cost associated
with awards of liability instruments based on their current fair value. The fair value of that
award is to be remeasured subsequently at each reporting date through the settlement date. Changes
in fair value during the requisite service period will be recognized as compensation cost over that
period.
9
In accordance with SFAS No. 123R, the Company estimates the grant-date fair value of its stock
options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which takes into account assumptions
regarding the
dividend yield, the risk-free interest rate, the expected stock-price volatility and the
expected term of the stock options. The fair value of the Companys stock option awards, which are
primarily subject to five year cliff vesting, is expensed over the vesting life of the stock
options using the straight-line method.
The following table summarizes stock options outstanding as of June 30, 2009 as well as
activity during the six months then ended:

As of June 30, 2009, the weighted average remaining contractual lives of stock options
outstanding and stock options exercisable were 6.7 years and 6.1 years, respectively.
Non-cash stock compensation expense related to stock options for the three months ended June
30, 2009 and 2008 amounted to $262,000 and $568,000, respectively. Non-cash stock compensation
expense related to stock options for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 amounted to
$527,000 and $1.2 million, respectively.
The Company also grants shares of restricted Class A Common Stock, valued at the closing
market price of such stock on the date of grant. Restricted stock is issued primarily to the
Companys directors and typically vests in equal monthly installments over a one-year period.
Compensation expense arising from restricted stock grants is recognized using the straight-line
method over the vesting period. Unearned compensation for restricted stock is a component of
additional paid-in capital in shareholders equity in the unaudited consolidated statements of
financial condition. Non-cash stock compensation expense related to restricted stock for the
three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 amounted to $35,000 and $29,000, respectively. Non-cash
stock compensation expense related to restricted stock for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and
2008 amounted to approximately $88,000 and $46,000, respectively.
Historically, forfeiture rates were estimated based on historical employee turnover rates. In
accordance with SFAS No. 123R, companies are required to adjust forfeiture estimates for all awards
with performance and service conditions through the vesting date so that compensation cost is
recognized only for awards that vest. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, there was a small
amount of pre-vesting forfeitures as a result of reductions in force in the Land Division. During
the six months ended June 30, 2008, there were substantial pre-vesting forfeitures as a result of
reductions in force related to the Companys restructurings and the bankruptcy of Levitt and Sons.
In accordance with SFAS No. 123R, pre-vesting forfeitures result in a reversal of compensation cost
whereas a post-vesting cancellation would not. The Company did not recognize a significant reversal
of compensation cost for the six months ended June 30, 2009, while the Company recognized
approximately $1.2 million in reversal of compensation expense related to pre-vesting option
forfeitures for the six months ended June 30, 2008.
On September 29, 2008, the Companys Board of Directors approved the terms of an incentive
program for certain of the Companys employees, including certain of the Companys executive
officers, pursuant to which a portion of their compensation will be based on the cash returns
realized by the Company on its existing
10
investments and new investments designated by the Board. It
is anticipated that the Companys investments will be held by individual limited
partnerships or other legal entities which will be the basis for incentives granted under the
programs. The Companys executive officers may have interests tied both to the
performance of a particular investment as well as interests relating to the performance of the
portfolio of investments as a whole. The Company believes that the program appropriately aligns
payments to the executive officer participants and other participating employees with the
performance of the Companys investments.
In accordance with SFAS No. 123R, the Company has determined that the new executive incentive
program qualifies as a liability-based plan and, accordingly, the Company was required to evaluate
the components of the program to determine the fair value of the liability, if any, to be recorded.
Based on its evaluation, the Company determined that the liability for compensation under the
executive compensation program as of June 30, 2009 was not material.

As of June 30, 2009, inventory of real estate included inventory related to Carolina Oak and
the Land Division.
The Company reviews real estate inventory for impairment on a project-by-project basis in
accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets
(SFAS No. 144). In accordance with SFAS No. 144, long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the
carrying amount of an asset to estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by
the asset, or by using appraisals of the related assets. If the carrying amount of an asset
exceeds its estimated future undiscounted cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the
amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value.

Depreciation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was approximately $1.4
million and $612,000, respectively. Depreciation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and
2008 was approximately $3.5 million and $1.2 million, respectively, and is included in selling,
general and administrative expenses in the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations. The increase in
depreciation expense in the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same 2008
periods was mainly associated with depreciation expense related to Cores commercial assets.
Depreciation expense for these commercial assets was not recorded for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2008 as these commercial assets were classified as discontinued operations during
those periods. The commercial assets were reclassified back to continuing operations during the
fourth quarter of 2008.
Property and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization, and
consists primarily of land and buildings, furniture and fixtures, leasehold improvements, equipment
and water treatment and irrigation facilities. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as
incurred. Significant renovations and improvements that improve or extend the useful lives of
assets are capitalized. Depreciation is primarily computed on the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets, which generally range up to 50 years for water and irrigation
facilities, 40 years for buildings, and 7 years for equipment, furniture and fixtures. Leasehold
improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the terms of the
related leases or the useful lives of the assets. In cases where the Company determines that land
and the related development costs are to be used as fixed assets, the costs are transferred from
inventory of real estate to property and equipment.
7. Interest
Interest incurred relating to land under development and construction is capitalized to real
estate inventory or property and equipment during the active development period. For inventory,
interest is capitalized at the effective rates paid on borrowings during the pre-construction and
planning stages and the periods that projects are under development. Capitalization of interest is
discontinued if development ceases at a project. Capitalized interest is expensed as a component of
cost of sales as related homes, land and units are sold. For property and equipment under
construction, interest associated with these assets is capitalized as incurred to property and
equipment and is expensed through depreciation once the asset is put into use. The following table
is a summary of interest incurred, capitalized and expensed, exclusive of impairment adjustments

8. Investments
Bluegreen Corporation
At June 30, 2009, the Company owned approximately 9.5 million shares of Bluegreens common
stock, representing approximately 31% of Bluegreens outstanding common stock. The Company
accounts for its investment in Bluegreen under the equity method of accounting. The cost of the
Bluegreen investment is adjusted to recognize the Companys interest in Bluegreens earnings or
losses. The difference between a) the Companys ownership percentage in Bluegreen multiplied by
its earnings and b) the amount of the Companys equity in earnings of Bluegreen as reflected in the
Companys financial statements relates to the amortization or accretion of purchase accounting
adjustments made at the time of the acquisition of Bluegreens common stock and a basis difference
due to impairment charges recorded on the Companys investment in Bluegreen, as described below.
12
During 2008, the Company began evaluating its investment in Bluegreen on a quarterly basis for
other-than-temporary impairments in accordance with FSP FAS 115-1/FAS 124-1, The Meaning of
Other-than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments (FSP FAS 115-1/FAS
124-1), Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 18, The Equity Method of Accounting for
Investments in Common Stock, and Securities and Exchange (SEC) Commission Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 59. These evaluations generally include an analysis of various quantitative and
qualitative factors relating to the performance of Bluegreen and its stock price. The Company
values Bluegreens common stock using a market approach valuation technique and Level 1 valuation
inputs under SFAS No. 157. Based on the results of its evaluations during the quarters ended
September 30, 2008, December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009, the Company determined that
other-than-temporary impairments were necessary for those periods. As a result, the Company
recorded impairment charges of $53.6 million, $40.8 million and $20.4 million during the quarters
ended September 30, 2008, December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009, respectively. Based on its
impairment evaluation performed during the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Company determined that
its investment in Bluegreen was not impaired at June 30, 2009. As of June 30, 2009, the carrying
value of the Companys investment in Bluegreen was $28.6 million.
As a result of the impairment charges taken at September 30, 2008, December 31, 2008 and March
31, 2009, a basis difference was created between the Companys investment in Bluegreen and the
underlying assets and liabilities carried on the books of Bluegreen. Therefore, earnings from
Bluegreen will be adjusted each period to reflect the amortization of this basis difference. As
such, the Company established an allocation methodology by which the Company allocated the
impairment loss to the relative fair value of Bluegreens underlying assets based upon the position
that the impairment loss was a reflection of the perceived value of these underlying assets. The
appropriate amortization will be calculated based on the useful lives of the underlying assets and
other relevant data associated with each asset category. As such, amortization of $8.6 million and
$13.9 million, respectively, was recorded into the Companys pro rata share of Bluegreens net
income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009.
The following table shows the reconciliation of the Companys pro rata share of Bluegreens
net income to the Companys total earnings from Bluegreen recorded in the unaudited consolidated

Office Depot Investment
At June 30, 2009, the Company owned approximately 1.4 million shares of Office Depots common
stock, representing less than 1% of Office Depots outstanding common stock as of that date. This
investment is reviewed quarterly for other-than-temporary impairments in accordance with FSP FAS
115-1/FAS 124-1 and is accounted for under the available-for-sale method of accounting whereby any
unrealized holding gains or losses are included in equity.
During the quarters ended December 31, 2008, March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009, the Company
performed impairment analyses of its investment in Office Depot. The impairment analyses included
an evaluation of, among other things, qualitative and quantitative factors relating to the
performance of Office Depot and its stock price. As a result of these evaluations, the Company
determined that other-than-temporary impairment charges were required at December 31, 2008 and
March 31, 2009 and recorded a $12.0 million impairment charge relating to its investment in Office
Depot in the three months ended December 31, 2008 and an additional $2.4 million impairment charge
in the three months ended March 31, 2009. Based on its impairment evaluation performed during the
quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Company determined that its investment in Office Depot was not
impaired at June 30, 2009.

The Company valued Office Depots common stock using a market approach valuation technique
and Level 1 valuation inputs under SFAS No. 157. The Company uses quoted market prices to value
equity securities. The fair value of Office Depots common stock in the Companys unaudited
consolidated statements of financial condition at June 30, 2009 of $6.5 million was calculated
based upon the $4.56 closing price of Office Depots common stock on the New York Stock Exchange
on June 30, 2009. On August 6, 2009, the closing price of Office Depots common stock was $5.06
per share.

Core has a credit agreement with a financial institution which provides for borrowings of up to
$64.3 million. The credit agreement had an original maturity date of June 26, 2009 and a variable
interest rate of 30-day LIBOR plus 170 basis points or Prime Rate. During June 2009, the loan
agreement was modified to extend the maturity date to June 2012. The loan, as modified, bears
interest at a fixed interest rate of 5.5%. The terms of the modification also required Core to
pledge approximately 10 acres of additional collateral. The new terms of the loan also include a
debt service coverage ratio covenant of 1.10:1 and the elimination of
a loan to value covenant. As of June 30, 2009, the loan had an outstanding
balance of $58.3 million. |
|
(b) |
|
In January of 2009, Core was advised by one of its lenders that the lender had received an
external appraisal on the land that serves as collateral for a development mortgage note payable,
which had an outstanding balance of $86.4 million at June 30, 2009. The appraised value would
suggest the potential for a re-margining payment to bring the note payable back in line with the
minimum loan-to-value requirement. The lender is conducting its internal review procedures,
including the determination of the appraised value. As of the date of this filing, Core is in
discussions with the lender to restructure the loan which may eliminate any re-margining
requirements; however, there is no assurance that these discussions will be successful or that
re-margining payments will not otherwise be required in the future. |
Certain of Cores debt facilities contain financial covenants generally requiring certain net
worth, liquidity and loan to value ratios. Further, certain of Cores debt facilities contain
cross-default provisions under which a default on one loan with a lender could cause a default on
other debt instruments with the same lender. If Core fails to comply with any of these restrictions
or covenants, the lenders under the applicable debt facilities could cause Cores debt to become
due and payable prior to maturity. These accelerations or significant re-margining payments could
require Core to dedicate a substantial portion of its cash to pay its debt and reduce its ability
to use its cash to fund its operations. If Core does not have sufficient cash to satisfy these
required payments, then Core would need to seek to refinance the debt or obtain alternative funds,
which may not be available on attractive terms, if at all. In the event that Core is unable to
refinance its debt or obtain additional funds, it may default on some or all of its existing debt
facilities.

10. Fair Value Measurements
Estimated fair values of financial instruments are determined using available market
information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, judgments are involved in
interpreting market data to develop estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented
herein are not necessarily indicative of amounts the Company could realize in a current market
transaction.
The estimated fair values of cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts payable
and accrued expenses approximate their respective carrying values as of June 30, 2009 and December
31, 2008
16
because of the liquid nature of the assets and relatively short-term maturities of the
obligations. The Company estimates that the fair value of its notes receivable at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 were
approximately $4.5 million and $4.0 million, respectively, and were based upon the Prime rate. The
Company estimates that at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 the fair value of its fixed rate debt
was approximately $109.9 million and $31.7 million, respectively, and the fair value of its
variable rate debt was approximately $178.0 million and $227.1 million, respectively.
On January 1, 2008, the Company partially adopted SFAS No. 157, which, among other things,
defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands
disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring
or nonrecurring basis. SFAS No. 157 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the
amount that would either be received to sell an asset or be paid to transfer a liability in an
orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement
that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an
asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, SFAS No. 157 establishes a
three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as
follows:
|
|
|
Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
|
|
|
|
Level 2. Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that
are observable either directly or indirectly; and |
|
|
|
|
Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market
data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own
assumptions. |

11. Commitments and Contingencies
At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had outstanding surety bonds of
approximately $5.4 million and $8.2 million, respectively, which were related primarily to
obligations to various governmental entities to construct improvements in various communities. The
Company currently estimates that approximately $1.1 million of work remains to complete these
improvements and that further improvements to developments not being pursued will not be required.
Accordingly, the Company does not believe that any material amounts will likely be drawn on the
outstanding surety bonds.
On November 9, 2007, Woodbridge implemented an employee fund and indicated that it would pay
up to $5 million of severance benefits to terminated Levitt and Sons employees to supplement the
limited termination benefits which Levitt and Sons was permitted to pay to those employees. Levitt
and Sons was restricted in the payment of termination benefits to its former employees by virtue of
the Chapter 11 Cases.

The severance related and benefits accrual includes severance payments, payroll taxes and
other benefits related to the terminations of Levitt and Sons employees, as well as other employees
of the Company, that occurred in 2007 as part of the Chapter 11 Cases. The Company did not incur
any significant severance and benefits related restructuring charges in the three months ended June
30, 2009, while, during the three months ended June 30, 2008, the Company incurred charges of
approximately $816,000. During the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company incurred
severance and benefits related restructuring charges of approximately $82,000 and $2.0 million,
respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company paid approximately
$79,000 and $1.2 million, respectively, in severance and termination charges related to the above
described employee fund as well as severance for employees other than Levitt and Sons employees,
all of which are reflected in the Other Operations segment. For the six months ended June 30, 2009
and 2008, these payments amounted to approximately $211,000 and $2.7 million, respectively.
Employees entitled to participate in the fund either received a payment stream, which in certain
cases extended over two years, or a lump sum payment, dependent on a variety of factors. Former
Levitt and Sons employees who received these payments were required to assign to the Company their
unsecured claims against Levitt and Sons.
The facilities accrual as of June 30, 2009 represents expense associated with property and
equipment leases that the Company had entered into that are no longer providing a benefit to the
Company, as well as
18
termination fees related to contractual obligations the Company cancelled. Included in this
amount are future minimum lease payments, fees and expenses for which the provisions of SFAS No.
146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities were satisfied. Total cash
payments related to the facilities accrual were $93,000 and $173,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Total cash payments related to the facilities accrual were
$186,000 and $259,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
The independent contractor agreements accrual relates to two consulting agreements entered
into by Woodbridge with former Levitt and Sons employees. The total commitment related to these
agreements as of June 30, 2009 was approximately $248,000 and will be paid monthly through December
2009. During the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company paid $182,000 and
$206,000, respectively, under these agreements. During the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008,
the Company paid $388,000 and $412,000, respectively, under these agreements.
Levitt and Sons had approximately $33.3 million of surety bonds outstanding related to its
ongoing projects at the time of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases. In the event that these
obligations are drawn and paid by the surety, Woodbridge could be responsible for up to $11.7
million plus costs and expenses in accordance with the surety indemnity agreements executed by
Woodbridge. At each of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had $1.1 million in surety
bonds accrual at Woodbridge related to certain bonds where management believes it to be probable
that the Company will be required to reimburse the surety under applicable indemnity agreements.
The Company did not reimburse any amounts during the three months ended June 30, 2009, while it
reimbursed approximately $367,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2008 in accordance with
the indemnity agreement for bond claims paid during the period. For the six months ended June 30,
2009 and 2008, the Company reimbursed the surety approximately $37,000 and $532,000, respectively.
It is unclear whether and to what extent the remaining outstanding surety bonds of Levitt and Sons
will be drawn and the extent to which Woodbridge may be responsible for additional amounts beyond
this accrual. There is no assurance that the Company will not be responsible for amounts in excess
of the $1.1 million accrual. Woodbridge will not receive any repayment, assets or other
consideration as recovery of any amounts it may be required to pay. In September 2008, a surety
filed a lawsuit to require Woodbridge to post collateral against a portion of the $11.7 million
surety bonds exposure relating to two bonds totaling $5.4 million after a municipality made claims
against the surety. The Company believes that the municipality does not have the right to demand
payment under the bonds and initiated a lawsuit against the municipality. Because the Company does
not believe a loss is probable, the Company did not accrue any amount in connection with this claim
as of June 30, 2009. As claims have been made on the bonds, the surety requested the Company post a
$4.0 million letter of credit as security while the matter is litigated with the municipality, and
the Company has complied with that request.
At June 30, 2009, the Company had $2.4 million in unrecognized tax benefits related to FASB
Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB No.
109 (FIN No. 48). FIN No. 48 provides guidance for how a company should recognize, measure,
present and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that a company has taken
or expects to take on a tax return.
12. Development Bonds Payable
In connection with the development of certain of Cores projects, community development,
special assessment or improvement districts have been established and may utilize tax-exempt bond
financing to fund construction or acquisition of certain on-site and off-site infrastructure
improvements near or at these communities. The obligation to pay principal and interest on the
bonds issued by the districts is assigned to each parcel within the district, and a priority
assessment lien may be placed on benefited parcels to provide security for the debt service. The
bonds, including interest and redemption premiums, if any, and the associated priority lien on the
property are typically payable, secured and satisfied by revenues, fees, or assessments levied on
the property benefited. Core is required to pay the revenues, fees, and assessments levied by the
districts on the properties it still owns that are benefited by the improvements. Core may also be
required to pay down a specified portion of the bonds at the time each unit or parcel is sold. The
costs of these obligations are capitalized to inventory during the development period and
recognized as cost of sales when the properties are sold.
Cores bond financing at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 consisted of district bonds
totaling $218.7 million at each of these dates with outstanding amounts of approximately $143.6
million and $130.5 million, respectively. Further, at June 30, 2009, approximately $68.4
million were available under these
19
bonds to fund future development expenditures. Bond obligations at June 30, 2009 mature in
2035 and 2040. As of June 30, 2009, Core owned approximately 16% of the property subject to
assessments within the community development district and approximately 91% of the property subject
to assessments within the special assessment district. During the three months ended June 30, 2009
and 2008, Core recorded approximately $158,000 and $163,000, respectively, in assessments on
property owned by it in the districts. During the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, Core
recorded approximately $317,000 and $268,000, respectively, in assessments on property owned by it
in the districts. Core is responsible for any assessed amounts until the underlying property is
sold and will continue to be responsible for the annual assessments if the property is never sold.
In addition, Core has guaranteed payments for assessments under the district bonds in Tradition,
Florida which would require funding if future assessments to be allocated to property owners are
insufficient to repay the bonds. Management has evaluated this exposure based upon the criteria
in SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, and has determined that there have been no
substantive changes to the projected density or land use in the development subject to the bond
which would make it probable that Core would have to fund future shortfalls in assessments.
In accordance with EITF Issue No. 91-10, Accounting for Special Assessments and Tax Increment
Financing, the Company records a liability for the estimated developer obligations that are fixed
and determinable and user fees that are required to be paid or transferred at the time the parcel
or unit is sold to an end user. At each of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the liability
related to developer obligations associated with Cores ownership of the property was $3.3 million.
This liability is included in the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of financial
condition as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.
13. Earnings (Loss) per Share and Stock Repurchases
Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing earnings (loss) attributable to
common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.
Diluted earnings (loss) per common share is computed in the same manner as basic earnings (loss)
per common share, taking into consideration (a) the dilutive effect of the Companys stock options
and restricted stock using the treasury stock method and (b) the pro rata impact of Bluegreens
dilutive securities (stock options and convertible securities) on the amount of Bluegreens
earnings recognized by the Company. For the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, 314,571 and
290,368 shares of common stock equivalents, respectively, at various prices were not included in
the computation of diluted (loss) earnings per common share because the exercise prices were
greater than the average market price of the common shares and, therefore, their effect would be
antidilutive. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, 314,571 and 287,368 shares of common
stock equivalents, respectively, at various prices were not included in the computation of diluted
(loss) earnings per common share because the exercise prices were greater than the average market
price of the common shares and, therefore, their effect would be antidilutive.

share (in thousands, except for per share data):

Stock Repurchases
In November 2008, the Companys Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program which
authorized Woodbridge to repurchase up to 5 million shares of its Class A Common Stock from time to
time on the open market or in private transactions. In the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company
repurchased 2,385,624 shares at an aggregate cost of $1.4 million. These repurchased shares were
canceled and retired in February 2009. In the first quarter of 2009, the Company repurchased 19,393
shares at an aggregate cost of $13,000. These repurchased shares were canceled and retired in April
2009. All shares repurchased are recorded as treasury stock until such time as they are canceled
and retired. At June 30, 2009, 2,594,983 shares remained available for repurchase under the stock
repurchase program. There can be no assurance that Woodbridge will repurchase any or all of the
shares which remain available for repurchase under the program, and the level of future repurchases
will depend on a number of factors, including levels of cash generated from operations, cash
requirements for acquisitions and investment opportunities, repayment of debt, the Companys
current stock price, and other factors. The stock repurchase program does not have an expiration
date and may be modified or discontinued at any time.

15. Income Taxes
The Companys provision for income taxes is estimated to result in an effective tax rate of
0.0% in 2009. The effective tax rate used for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 was
0.0%. The 0.0% effective tax rate is a result of the Company recording a valuation allowance for
those deferred tax assets that are not expected to be recovered in the future. Due to large losses
in the past and expected taxable losses in the foreseeable future, the Company may not have
sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character in the future to realize any portion of the
net deferred tax asset.
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as to income
tax in Florida and South Carolina. The Company has effectively settled all U.S. federal income tax
matters for years through 2004. All years subsequent to 2004 remain open and subject to
examination. The Companys Federal income tax returns for 2005, 2006 and 2007 are currently being
examined by the Internal Revenue Service.

17. Segment Reporting
Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information
is available that is regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to
allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company has two reportable business segments,
Land and Other Operations. The Company evaluates segment performance primarily based on pre-tax
income before noncontrolling interests. The information provided for segment reporting is based on
managements internal reports. Except as otherwise indicated in this report, the accounting
policies of the segments are the same as those of the Company. Eliminations consist of the
elimination of transactions between the Land Division and Other Operations segments. All of the
eliminated transactions were recorded based upon terms that management believed would be attained
in an arms-length transaction. The presentation and allocation of assets, liabilities and results
of operations may not reflect the actual economic costs of the segments as stand-alone businesses.
If a different basis of allocation were utilized, the relative contributions of the segments might
differ, but management believes that the relative trends in segments would likely not be impacted.
The Companys Land Division segment consists of the operations of Core Communities. The Other
Operations segment consists of the operations of the Parent Company, Pizza Fusion, and Carolina
Oak, other activities through Cypress Creek Capital and Snapper Creek, an equity investment in
Bluegreen and an investment in Office Depot.

is recorded at current borrowing rates. All interest expense and interest income associated with
these intersegment loans are eliminated in consolidation.
18. Parent Company Financial Statements
The Companys subordinated investment notes (the Investment Notes) and junior subordinated
debentures (the Junior Subordinated Debentures) are direct unsecured obligations of the Parent
Company, are not guaranteed by the Companys subsidiaries and are not collateralized by any assets
of the Company or its subsidiaries. The Parent Company has historically relied on dividends or
management fees from its subsidiaries and earnings on its cash investments to fund its operations,
including debt service obligations relating to its outstanding Investment Notes and Junior
Subordinated Debentures. The Company would be restricted from paying dividends to its common
shareholders if an event of default exists under the terms of either the Investment Notes or the
Junior Subordinated Debentures.
Some of the Companys subsidiaries incur indebtedness on terms that, among other things,
require the subsidiary to maintain certain financial ratios and a minimum net worth. These
covenants may have the effect of limiting the amount of debt that the subsidiaries can incur in the
future and restricting payments to the Parent Company.
The accounting policies for the Parent Company are generally the same as those policies
described in the summary of significant accounting policies outlined in the Companys Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. The Parent Companys interest in its
consolidated subsidiaries is reported under the equity method of accounting for purposes of this
presentation.
The Parent Company unaudited condensed statements of financial condition at June 30, 2009 and
December 31, 2008 and unaudited condensed statements of operations for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 are shown below (in thousands):

19. Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions
The Company and BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. (Bancorp) are under common control. BFC is the
controlling shareholder of the Company and Bancorp. Bancorp is the parent company of BankAtlantic.
The Companys Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Alan B. Levan, and the Companys Vice Chairman,
John E. Abdo, collectively own or control shares of BFCs common stock representing a majority of
BFCs total voting power. Messrs. Levan and Abdo are also directors of the Company and Bluegreen,
and executive officers and directors of BFC, Bancorp and BankAtlantic.
Pursuant to the terms of a shared services agreement between the Company and BFC Shared
Services Corporation, a subsidiary of BFC, certain administrative services, including human
resources, risk management, and investor and public relations, are provided to the Company by BFC
Shared Services Corporation on a percentage of cost basis. The total amounts paid for these
services in the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were approximately $260,000 and $206,000,
respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were approximately $560,000 and
$412,000, respectively.
Effective May 2008, the Company and BFC entered into a sublease agreement pursuant to which
BFC subleases to the Company space located at the BankAtlantic corporate office for the Companys
corporate staff. During the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company paid BFC $76,000
and $25,000, respectively, under this agreement.
27
Effective March 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with BankAtlantic, pursuant to
which BankAtlantic agreed to house the Companys information technology servers and provide
hosting, security and managed services to the Company relating to its information technology
operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company paid BankAtlantic
approximately $70,000 and $30,000, respectively, under this agreement.
The amounts paid by the Company to BFC and BankAtlantic for the services described above may
not be representative of the amounts that would be paid in an arms-length transaction.
The Company maintains money market accounts and securities sold under repurchase agreements at
BankAtlantic. The balances in its accounts at June 30, 2009 and 2008 were approximately $6.1
million and $55.7 million, respectively. BankAtlantic paid interest to the Company on its accounts
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 of $9,000 and $28,000, respectively, and for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2008 of $9,000 and $30,000, respectively. Additionally, in
December 2008, BankAtlantic facilitated the placement of certificates of deposits insured by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the FDIC) with other insured depository institutions on
the Companys behalf through the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (CDARS) program.
The CDARS program facilitates the placement of funds into certificates of deposits issued by other
financial institutions in increments of less than the standard FDIC insurance maximum to insure
that both principal and interest are eligible for full FDIC insurance coverage. At June 30, 2009,
the Companys placements under the CDARS program with maturity dates of less than 3 months totaled
$1.9 million, while placements with maturity dates of more than 3 months totaled $49.9 million.
The Company is currently working with Bluegreen to explore avenues for assisting Bluegreen in
obtaining liquidity for its receivables, which may include, among other potential alternatives,
Woodbridge forming a broker dealer to raise capital through private or public offerings, among
other things. Bluegreen has agreed to reimburse the Company for certain expenses, including legal
and professional fees incurred in connection with this effort. As of June 30, 2009, the Company was
reimbursed approximately $602,000 from Bluegreen and has recorded a receivable of approximately
$481,000.
On July 2, 2009, the Company entered into a definitive merger agreement with BFC, pursuant to
which the Company will be merged with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of BFC. See Note 23 for a
description of the merger agreement and the proposed merger.
20. New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and
the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principlesa replacement of FASB Statement No. 162
(SFAS No. 168). SFAS No. 168 replaces SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles, and establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Codification)
as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by
nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority
of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The FASB
will no longer issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging
Issues Task Force Abstracts; instead the FASB will issue Accounting Standards Updates. Accounting
Standards Updates will not be authoritative in their own right as they will only serve to update
the Codification. The issuance of SFAS No. 168 and the Codification does not change GAAP. SFAS No.
168 becomes effective for the period ending September 30, 2009. The Company has determined that the
adoption of SFAS No. 168 will not impact the Companys financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)
(SFAS No. 167). SFAS No. 167 amends FASB Interpretation No. 46 (Revised December 2003),
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entitiesan interpretation of ARB No. 51, (FIN 46(R)) to
require an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine whether the enterprises variable
interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity; to
require ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable
interest entity; to eliminate the quantitative approach previously required for determining the
primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity; to add an additional reconsideration event for
determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity when any changes in facts
28
and circumstances occur such that holders of the equity investment at risk, as a group, lose
the power from voting rights or similar rights of those investments to direct the activities of the
entity that most significantly impact the entitys economic performance; and to require enhanced
disclosures that will provide users of financial statements with more transparent information about
an enterprises involvement in a variable interest entity. SFAS No. 167 becomes effective on
January 1, 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of SFAS No. 167 on the
Companys financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assetsan
amendment of FASB Statement No. 140 (SFAS No. 166). SFAS No. 166 amends various provisions of
SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of
Liabilitiesa replacement of FASB Statement No. 125, by removing the concept of a qualifying
special-purpose entity and, among other things, removes the exception from applying FIN 46(R) to
variable interest entities that are qualifying special-purpose entities; limits the circumstances
in which a transferor derecognizes a portion or component of a financial asset; defines a
participating interest; requires a transferor to recognize and initially measure at fair value all
assets obtained and liabilities incurred as a result of a transfer accounted for as a sale; and
requires enhanced disclosure. SFAS No. 166 becomes effective January 1, 2010. The Company is
currently evaluating the potential impact of SFAS No. 166 on the Companys financial statements.
21. Litigation
Class Action Litigation
On January 25, 2008, plaintiff Robert D. Dance filed a purported class action complaint as a
putative purchaser of the Companys securities against the Company and certain of its officers and
directors, asserting claims under the federal securities laws and seeking damages. This action was
filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida and is captioned
Dance v. Levitt Corp. et al., No. 08-CV-60111-DLG. The securities litigation purports to be
brought on behalf of all purchasers of the Companys securities during the period beginning on
January 31, 2007 and ending on August 14, 2007. The complaint alleges that the defendants violated
Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated
thereunder by issuing a series of false and/or misleading statements concerning the Companys
financial results, prospects and condition. The Company intends to vigorously defend this action.
Surety Bond Claim
In September 2008, a surety filed a lawsuit to require Woodbridge to post $5.4 million of
collateral relating to two bonds totaling $5.4 million after a municipality made claims against the
surety. The Company believes that the municipality does not have the right to demand payment under
the bonds and initiated a lawsuit against the municipality. Because the Company does not believe a
loss is probable, the Company did not accrue any amount related to this claim as of June 30, 2009.
As claims have been made on the bonds, the surety requested the Company post a $4.0 million letter
of credit as security while the matter is litigated with the municipality, and the Company has
complied with that request.
General Litigation
The Company is a party to various claims and lawsuits which arise in the ordinary course of
business. The Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these claims or lawsuits
will have a material adverse effect on its business, financial position, results of operations or
cash flows.
22. Bankruptcy of Levitt and Sons
As described in Note 1 above, on November 9, 2007, the Debtors filed the Chapter 11 Cases. The
Debtors commenced the Chapter 11 Cases in order to preserve the value of their assets and to
facilitate an orderly wind-down of their businesses and disposition of their assets in a manner
intended to maximize the recoveries of all constituents. In connection with the filing of the
Chapter 11 Cases, Woodbridge deconsolidated Levitt and Sons as of November 9, 2007. As a result of
the deconsolidation, Woodbridge had a negative basis in its investment in Levitt and Sons because
Levitt and Sons generated significant losses and intercompany liabilities in excess of its asset
balances. This negative investment, Loss in excess of investment in subsidiary,
29
was reflected as a single amount on the Companys consolidated statements of financial condition as a $55.2
million liability as of December 31, 2008. This balance was comprised of a negative investment
in Levitt and Sons of $123.0 million and outstanding advances due to Woodbridge from Levitt and
Sons of $67.8 million. Included in the negative investment was approximately $15.8 million
associated with deferred revenue related to intra-segment sales between Levitt and Sons and Core
Communities. During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company identified approximately $2.3 million
of deferred revenue on intercompany sales between Core and Carolina Oak that had been misclassified
against the negative investment in Levitt and Sons. As a result, the Company recorded a $2.3
million reclassification in the fourth quarter of 2008 between inventory of real estate and the
loss in excess of investment in subsidiary in the consolidated statements of financial condition.
As a result, as of December 31, 2008, the net negative investment was $52.9 million.
On June 27, 2008, Woodbridge entered into a settlement agreement (the Settlement Agreement)
with the Debtors and the Joint Committee of Unsecured Creditors (the Joint Committee) appointed
in the Chapter 11 Cases. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, among other things, (i) Woodbridge
agreed to pay to the Debtors bankruptcy estates the sum of $12.5 million plus accrued interest
from May 22, 2008 through the date of payment, (ii) Woodbridge agreed to waive and release
substantially all of the claims it had against the Debtors, including its administrative expense
claims through July 2008, and (iii) the Debtors (joined by the Joint Committee) agreed to waive and
release any claims they had against Woodbridge and its affiliates. After certain of Levitt and
Sons creditors indicated that they objected to the terms of the Settlement Agreement and stated a
desire to pursue claims against Woodbridge, Woodbridge, the Debtors and the Joint Committee entered
into an amendment to the Settlement Agreement, pursuant to which Woodbridge would, in lieu of the
$12.5 million payment previously agreed to, pay $8 million to the Debtors bankruptcy estates and
place $4.5 million in a release fund to be disbursed to third party creditors in exchange for a
third party release and injunction. The amendment also provided for an additional $300,000 payment
by Woodbridge to a deposit holders fund. The Settlement Agreement, as amended, was subject to a
number of conditions, including the approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
As previously reported, on February 20, 2009, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming
a plan of liquidation jointly proposed by Levitt and Sons and the Joint Committee and approved the
settlement pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, as amended. No appeal or rehearing of the
Bankruptcy Courts order was timely filed by any party, and the settlement was consummated on March
3, 2009, at which time payment was made in accordance with the terms and conditions of the
Settlement Agreement, as amended. Under cost method accounting, the cost of settlement and the
related $52.9 million liability (less $500,000 which was determined as the settlement holdback and
remained as an accrual pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, as amended) was recognized into income
in the quarter ended March 31, 2009, resulting in a $40.4 million gain on settlement of investment
in subsidiary. As a result, Woodbridge no longer holds an investment in this subsidiary.
23. Subsequent Events
Merger Agreement with BFC
On July 2, 2009, Woodbridge entered into a definitive merger agreement with BFC. Subject to
the terms and conditions of the agreement, Woodbridge will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of BFC
and the holders of Woodbridges Class A Common Stock (other than BFC) will receive 3.47 shares of
BFCs Class A Common Stock for each share of Woodbridges Class A Common Stock they hold at the
effective time of the merger. BFC currently owns approximately 22% of Woodbridges Class A Common
Stock and all of Woodbridges Class B Common Stock, representing approximately 59% of the total
voting power of Woodbridge. The shares of Woodbridges common stock held by BFC will be canceled in
the merger.
The consummation of the merger is subject to a number of customary closing conditions,
including the approval of both Woodbridges and BFCs shareholders. The companies currently expect
to consummate the merger during the third quarter of 2009. If the merger agreement is consummated,
Woodbridges separate corporate existence will cease and its Class A Common Stock will no longer be
publicly traded.
Additional Pizza Fusion Investment
On July 2, 2009, the Company exercised its option to purchase 521,740 shares of Series B
Preferred Stock of Pizza Fusion at a price of $1.15 per share, or an aggregate purchase price of
$600,000. Upon the exercise of the option, the Company was also granted warrants to purchase up to
300,000 additional shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of Pizza Fusion at an exercise
price of $1.44 per share. The warrants have a term of 10 years, subject to earlier expiration under certain circumstances.

The objective of the following discussion is to provide an understanding of the financial
condition and results of operations of Woodbridge Holdings Corporation (Woodbridge, we, us,
our or the Company) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries as of and for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. We currently engage in business activities through our Land
Division, consisting of the operations of Core Communities, LLC (Core Communities or Core),
which develops master-planned communities, and through our Other Operations segment (Other
Operations). Other Operations includes the parent company operations of Woodbridge (the Parent
Company), the consolidated operations of Pizza Fusion Holdings, Inc. (Pizza Fusion), the
consolidated operations of Carolina Oak Homes, LLC (Carolina Oak), which engaged in homebuilding
activities in South Carolina prior to the suspension of those activities in the fourth quarter of
2008, and the activities of Cypress Creek Capital Holdings, LLC (Cypress Creek Capital) and
Snapper Creek Equity Management, LLC (Snapper Creek). Also included in the Other Operations
segment are our equity investment in Bluegreen Corporation (Bluegreen) and an investment in
Office Depot, Inc. (Office Depot).
Some of the statements contained or incorporated by reference herein include 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. Some of the forward-looking
statements can be identified by the use of words such as anticipate, believe, estimate,
may, intend, expect, will, should, seek or other similar expressions. Forward-looking
statements are based largely on managements expectations and involve inherent risks and
uncertainties. In addition to the risks identified in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2008, you should refer to the other risks and uncertainties
discussed throughout this document for specific risks which could cause actual results to be
significantly different from those expressed or implied by those forward-looking statements.
Some factors which may affect the accuracy of the forward-looking statements apply generally to
the real estate industry and other industries in which the companies we hold investments in
operate, while other factors apply directly to us. Any number of important factors could cause
actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, including:
|
|
|
the impact of economic, competitive and other factors affecting the Company and its
operations; |
|
|
|
|
the market for real estate in the areas where the Company has developments, including
the impact of market conditions on the Companys margins and the fair value of its real
estate inventory; |
|
|
|
|
the risk that the value of the property held by Core Communities and Carolina Oak may
decline, including as a result of the current downturn in the residential and commercial
real estate and homebuilding industries, and the potential for related write-downs or
impairment charges; |
|
|
|
|
the impact of the factors negatively impacting the homebuilding and residential real
estate industries on the market and values of commercial property; |
|
|
|
|
the risk that the downturn in the credit markets may adversely affect Cores commercial
leasing projects, including the ability of current and potential tenants to secure
financing which may, in turn, negatively impact long-term rental and occupancy; |
|
|
|
|
the risks relating to Cores dependence on certain key tenants in its commercial leasing
projects, including the risk that current adverse conditions in the economy in general
and/or adverse developments in the businesses of these tenants could have a negative impact
on Cores financial condition; |
|
|
|
|
the risk that the development of parcels and master-planned communities will not be
completed as anticipated or that Core will be obligated to make
additional payments under its oustanding development bonds; |
|
|
|
|
the effects of increases in interest rates on us and the availability and cost of credit
to buyers of our inventory; |
|
|
|
|
the impact of the problems in financial and credit markets on the ability of buyers of
our inventory to obtain financing on acceptable terms, if at all, and the risk that we will
be unable to obtain financing or renew existing credit facilities on acceptable terms, if
at all; |
|
|
|
|
the risks relating to Cores liquidity, cash position and ability to satisfy required
payments under its debt facilities, including the risk that Woodbridge may not provide
funding to Core; |
|
|
|
|
the risk that Core may be required to make accelerated principal payments on its debt
obligations due to re-margining or curtailment payment requirements, which may negatively
impact our financial condition and results of operations; |
|
|
|
|
risks associated with the securities owned by the Company, including the risk that the
Company may record further impairment charges with respect to such securities in the event
trading prices decline in |
31
|
|
|
the risks associated with the businesses in which the Company holds investments; |
|
|
|
|
risks associated with the Companys business strategy, including the Companys ability
to successfully make investments notwithstanding adverse conditions in the economy and the credit markets; |
|
|
|
|
the Companys success in pursuing alternatives that could enhance liquidity for
Bluegreen or be profitable for the Company; |
|
|
|
|
the impact on the price and liquidity of the Companys Class A Common Stock and on the
Companys ability to obtain additional capital in the event the Company chooses to
de-register its securities; |
|
|
|
|
the risks relating to our pursuit of the proposed merger with BFC, including the risk
that the merger may not be consummated on the contemplated terms, or at all; and |
|
|
|
|
the Companys success at managing the risks involved in the foregoing. |
Many of these factors are beyond our control. The Company cautions that the foregoing
factors are not exclusive.
Executive Overview
We continue to focus on managing our real estate holdings during this challenging period for
the real estate industry and on our efforts to bring costs in line with our strategic objectives.
We have taken steps to align our staffing levels and compensation with these objectives. Our goal
is to pursue acquisitions and investments in diverse industries, including investments in
affiliates, using a combination of our cash and stock and third party equity and debt financing.
This business strategy may result in acquisitions and investments both within and outside of the
real estate industry. We also intend to explore a variety of funding structures which might
leverage or capitalize on our available cash and other assets currently owned by us. We may
acquire entire businesses, or majority or minority, non-controlling interests in companies. Under
this business model, we likely will not generate a consistent earnings stream and the composition
of our revenues may vary widely due to factors inherent in a particular investment, including the
maturity and cyclical nature of, and market conditions relating to, the business invested in. We
expect that net investment gains and other income will depend on the success of our investments as
well as overall market conditions. We also intend to pursue strategic initiatives with the goal of
enhancing liquidity. These initiatives may include pursuing alternatives to monetize a portion of
our interests in certain of Cores assets through sale, possible joint ventures or other strategic
relationships, including possible public or private offerings of debt
or equity securities at Core.
As part of our strategy to access alternative financing sources and to pursue opportunities
within the capital markets, we have taken steps to form various subsidiaries, including a broker
dealer. We envision that these subsidiaries will generate fee income from private or public
offerings that will be marketed to investors through broker dealer networks. Amongst the possible
investment opportunities is a program that we are currently exploring with Bluegreen in which the
funds raised would be invested in its timeshare receivables. While the formation of this program is
in the early stages, the expectation is that a newly formed entity would acquire Bluegreen
receivables and issue securities in a public offering. Bluegreen has agreed to reimburse us for
certain expenses, including legal and professional fees, incurred by us in connection with this
effort. There is, however, no assurance that we will be successful in the venture or that the
business will be profitable for the Company or enhance Bluegreens liquidity.
Our operations have historically been concentrated in the real estate industry which is
cyclical in nature. Our largest subsidiary is Core Communities, a developer of master-planned
communities, which sells land to residential builders as well as to commercial developers, and
internally develops, constructs and leases income producing commercial real estate. In addition,
our Other Operations segment includes an equity investment in 9.5 million shares of the common
stock of Bluegreen, a NYSE-listed company, which represents approximately 31% of Bluegreens
outstanding common stock, and a cost method investment in Office Depot, a NYSE-listed company in
which we own less than 1% of the outstanding common stock. Bluegreen is engaged in the acquisition,
development, marketing and sale of ownership interests in primarily drive-to vacation resorts,
and the development and sale of golf communities and residential land. As described above, we are
currently working with Bluegreen to explore avenues in assisting Bluegreen in obtaining liquidity
for its receivables, which may include, among other potential alternatives, Woodbridge forming a
broker dealer to raise capital through private or public offerings. Our Other Operations segment
also includes the operations of Pizza Fusion, which is a restaurant franchise operating within the
quick service and organic food industries, and the activities of Carolina Oak, which engaged in
homebuilding activities at Tradition Hilton Head prior to the suspension of those activities in the
fourth quarter of 2008.
32
Financial and Non-Financial Metrics
We evaluate our performance and prospects using a variety of financial and non-financial
metrics. The key financial metrics utilized to evaluate historical operating performance include
revenues from sales of real estate, margin (which we measure as revenues from sales of real estate
minus cost of sales of real estate), margin percentage (which we measure as margin divided by
revenues from sales of real estate), income before taxes, net income and return on equity. We
also continue to evaluate and monitor selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage
of revenue. In evaluating our future prospects, management considers non-financial information
such as acres in backlog (which we measure as land subject to an executed sales contract) and the
aggregate value of those contracts. Additionally, we monitor the number of properties remaining in
inventory and under contract to be purchased relative to our sales and development trends. Our
ratio of debt to shareholders equity and cash requirements are also considered when evaluating our
future prospects, as are general economic factors and interest rate trends. Each of the above
metrics is discussed in the following sections as it relates to our operating results, financial
position and liquidity. These metrics are not an exhaustive list, and management may from time to
time utilize different financial and non-financial information or may not use all of the metrics
mentioned above.
Going forward, under the terms and conditions of the new executive compensation program, all
of the Companys investments are or will be held by individual limited partnerships or other legal
entities established for such purpose. The executive officer participants may have interests tied
both to the performance of a particular investment as well as interests relating to the performance
of the portfolio of investments as a whole. The Company will evaluate these investments based on
certain performance criteria and other financial metrics established by the Company in its capacity
as investor in the program.
Land Division Overview
Core Communities develops master-planned communities and is currently developing Tradition,
Florida, which is located in Port St. Lucie, Florida, and Tradition Hilton Head, which is located
in Hardeeville, South Carolina. Tradition, Florida encompasses approximately 8,200 total acres.
Core has sold approximately 1,800 acres to date and has approximately 3,800 net saleable acres
remaining in inventory. As of June 30, 2009, approximately 8 acres were subject to a sales contract
with a sales price which could range from $3.0 million to $3.9 million at a cost of approximately
$2.2 million. The sale is contingent upon the purchaser obtaining financing and, if consummated on
the contemplated terms, would not result in a loss. Tradition Hilton Head encompasses
approximately 5,400 total acres, of which 178 acres have been sold to date. Approximately 2,800 net
saleable acres are remaining at Tradition Hilton Head. No acres were subject to sales contracts as
of June 30, 2009. Acres sold to date in Tradition Hilton Head include the intercompany sale of 150
acres to Carolina Oak.
We plan to continue to focus on our Land Divisions commercial operations through sales to
developers and the internal development of certain projects for leasing to third parties. Core is
currently pursuing the sale of two of its commercial leasing projects. Conditions in the
commercial real estate market have deteriorated and financing is not as readily available in the
current market, which may adversely impact both Cores ability to complete sales and the
profitability of any sales.
In addition, the overall slowdown in the real estate markets and disruptions in credit markets
continue to have a negative effect on demand for residential land in our Land Division which
historically was partially mitigated by increased commercial leasing revenue. Traffic at both the
Tradition, Florida and Tradition Hilton Head information centers remains slow, reflecting the
overall state of the real estate market.
Other Operations Overview
Other Operations consist of the operations of our Parent Company, Carolina Oak, and Pizza
Fusion, the activities of Cypress Creek Capital and Snapper Creek, our equity investment in
Bluegreen and our investment in Office Depot.
During 2008, we began evaluating our investment in Bluegreen on a quarterly basis for
other-than-temporary impairments in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
Staff Position FAS 115-1/FAS 124-1, The Meaning of Other-than-Temporary Impairment and Its
Application to Certain
33
Investments, Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 18, The Equity Method
of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock, and Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 59. These
evaluations generally include an analysis of various quantitative and qualitative factors relating
to the performance of Bluegreen and its stock price. We value Bluegreens common stock using a
market approach valuation technique and Level 1 valuation inputs under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. Based on the results of our evaluations
during the quarters ended September 30, 2008, December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009, we determined
that other-than-temporary impairments were necessary for those periods. As a result, we recorded
impairment charges of $53.6 million, $40.8 million and $20.4 million during the quarters ended
September 30, 2008, December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009, respectively. Based on our impairment
evaluation performed during the quarter ended June 30, 2009, we determined that our investment in
Bluegreen was not impaired at June 30, 2009. As of June 30, 2009, the carrying value of our
investment in Bluegreen was $28.6 million.
During the quarters ended December 31, 2008, March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009, we performed
impairment analyses of our investment in Office Depot. The impairment analyses included an
evaluation of, among other things, qualitative and quantitative factors relating to the performance
of Office Depot and its stock price. As a result of these evaluations, we determined that
other-than-temporary impairment charges were required at December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009 and
recorded a $12.0 million impairment charge relating to our investment in Office Depot in the three
months ended December 31, 2008 and an additional $2.4 million impairment charge in the three months
ended March 31, 2009. Based on the impairment evaluation performed during the quarter ended June
30, 2009, we determined that our investment in Office Depot was not impaired at June 30, 2009. The
fair value of Office Depots common stock in our unaudited consolidated statements of financial
condition at June 30, 2009 of $6.5 million was calculated based upon the $4.56 closing price of
Office Depots common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on June 30, 2009. On August 6, 2009, the
closing price of Office Depots common stock was $5.06 per share.
Recent Developments
On July 2, 2009, we entered into a definitive merger agreement with BFC. Subject to the terms
and conditions of the agreement, we will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of BFC and the holders of
our Class A Common Stock (other than BFC) will receive 3.47 shares of BFCs Class A Common Stock
for each share of our Class A Common Stock they hold at the effective time of the merger. BFC
currently owns approximately 22% of our Class A Common Stock and all of our Class B Common Stock,
representing approximately 59% of our total voting power. The shares of our common stock held by
BFC will be canceled in the merger.
The consummation of the merger is subject to a number of customary closing conditions,
including the approval of both our and BFCs shareholders. We currently expect to consummate the
merger during the third quarter of 2009. If the merger agreement is consummated, our separate
corporate existence will cease and our Class A Common Stock will no longer be publicly traded.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Critical accounting policies are those policies that are important to the understanding of our
financial statements and may also involve estimates and judgments about inherently uncertain
matters. In preparing our financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. These estimates require the exercise of
judgment, as future events cannot be determined with certainty. Accordingly, actual results could
differ significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to
significant change in subsequent periods relate to revenue and cost recognition on percent complete
projects, reserves and accruals, impairment reserves of assets, valuation of real estate, estimated
costs to complete construction, reserves for litigation and contingencies and deferred tax
valuation allowances. The accounting policies that we have identified as critical to the
presentation of our financial condition and results of operations are: (a) fair value measurements;
(b) investments; (c) goodwill and intangible assets; (d) revenue recognition; (e) income taxes; and
(f) loss in excess of investment in Levitt and Sons. For a more detailed discussion of these
critical accounting policies see Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates appearing in the
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of
our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

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

Revenues from sales of real estate decreased to $1.8 million for the three months ended June
30, 2009
35
from $2.4 million for the same 2008 period. Revenues from sales of real estate for the
three months ended June
30, 2009 and 2008 in the Land Division were comprised of land sales, recognition of deferred
revenue and revenue related to incremental revenue received from homebuilders based on the final
resale price to the homebuilders customer (look back revenue). In Other Operations, revenues
from sales of real estate were comprised of home sales in Carolina Oak. During the three months
ended June 30, 2009, our Land Division sold 9 lots encompassing approximately 3 acres, generating
revenues of approximately $424,000, compared to the sale of 8 lots encompassing approximately 3
acres, which generated revenues of approximately $825,000, net of deferred revenue, in the same
2008 period. Our Land Division recognized deferred revenue on previously sold land of approximately
$1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to approximately $758,000 in the
same 2008 period. Look back revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were not
significant. In Other Operations, we earned $320,000 in revenues from sales of real estate as a
result of 1 unit sold in Carolina Oak, compared to revenues from sales of real estate of $635,000
in the same 2008 period as a result of 2 units sold in Carolina Oak.

Other revenues increased to $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 from $2.7
million for the same 2008 period. Other revenues in Other Operations increased in the three months
ended June 30, 2009 as franchise revenues related to Pizza Fusion were recorded in the three months
ended June 30, 2009. No franchise revenues existed in the three months ended June 30, 2008 since we
acquired Pizza Fusion in September 2008. We collected more impact fees in the Land Division in the
three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same 2008 period associated with an increase in
building permits requested for new construction. These increases were partially offset by a
decrease in marketing fees in the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same 2008
period.

Cost of sales of real estate decreased to $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30,
2009 from $1.8 million for the same 2008 period due to a decrease in sales of real estate in Other
Operations. In the Land Division, approximately 3 acres were sold in each of the three months ended
June 30, 2009 and 2008. In Other Operations, we sold 1 unit in Carolina Oak in the three months
ended June 30, 2009, compared to 2 units sold in the same 2008 period.

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

Interest expense consists of interest incurred less interest capitalized. Interest incurred
totaled $4.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and $5.6 million for the same 2008
period. Interest capitalized totaled $651,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and $3.1
million for the same 2008 period. Interest expense increased in the three months ended June 30,
2009 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2008 primarily as a result of less qualifying
assets for interest capitalization which resulted in less interest capitalized in the three months
ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same 2008 period. The increase was partially offset by lower
interest rates during the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same 2008 period. At the
time of land or home sales, the capitalized interest allocated to inventory is charged to cost of
sales. Cost of sales of real estate for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 included
previously capitalized interest of approximately $80,000 and $44,000, respectively.
Earnings from Bluegreen Corporation
Bluegreen reported net income for the three months ended June 30, 2009 of $6.8 million, as
compared to $3.4 million for the same 2008 period. Our interest in Bluegreens earnings was $10.7
million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 (after the amortization of approximately $8.6
million related to the change in the basis as a result of the impairment charges on this investment
during the quarters ended September 30, 2008,
37
December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009) compared to
$1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008.
We review our investment in Bluegreen for impairment on a quarterly basis or as events or
circumstances warrant for other-than-temporary declines in value. See Note 8 to our unaudited
consolidated financial statements for further details of the impairment analysis of our investment
in Bluegreen.
Interest and Other Income
Interest and other income decreased to $277,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 from
$2.0 million for the same 2008 period. This decrease was mainly related to a $1.2 million gain on
sale of equity securities in the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to no gain on sale of
equity securities in the same 2009 period. In addition, interest income decreased as a result of
lower interest rates as well as a decrease in our cash balances for the three months ended June 30,
2009 compared to the same 2008 period.
Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes is estimated to result in an effective tax rate of 0.0% in
2009. The effective tax rate used for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was 0.0%. The 0.0%
effective tax rate is a result of recording a valuation allowance for those deferred tax assets
that are not expected to be recovered in the future. Due to large losses in the past and expected
taxable losses in the foreseeable future, we may not have sufficient taxable income of the
appropriate character in the future to realize any portion of the net deferred tax asset.
For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2009 Compared to the Same 2008 Period:
Consolidated net income attributable to Woodbridge was $15.5 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2009, as compared to a consolidated net loss of $19.4 million for the same 2008 period.
The increase in net income for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was mainly associated with the
reversal into income of the loss in excess of investment in Levitt and Sons after Levitt and Sons
bankruptcy was finalized. The reversal resulted in a $40.4 million gain in the six months ended
June 30, 2009. Additionally, earnings from Bluegreen increased in the six months ended June 30,
2009 compared to the same 2008 period, and we incurred lower selling, general and administrative
expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same 2008 period. These factors
were offset in part by impairment charges on our investments of approximately $22.8 million
recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to no impairment charges related to the
investments during the same 2008 period, as well as an increase in interest expense and a decrease
in interest and other income in the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same 2008
period.

2009 from $2.5 million for the same 2008 period. Revenues from sales of real estate for the six
months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were comprised of land sales, recognition of deferred revenue
and look back revenue. In Other Operations, revenues from sales of real estate were comprised of
home sales in Carolina Oak. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, our Land Division sold

approximately 3 acres, which generated revenues of approximately $898,000, net of deferred revenue,
in the same 2008 period. Our Land Division recognized deferred revenue on previously sold land of
approximately $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to approximately

million for the same 2008 period. Other revenues in Other Operations increased in the six months

ended June 30, 2009. No franchise revenues existed in the six months ended June 30, 2008 since we

to a decrease in marketing fees collected, and straight line rent amortization associated with
tenant improvement reimbursements. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in rental
revenues in the Land Division due to additional tenants.

Cost of sales of real estate increased to $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009
from $1.8 million for the same 2008 period due to an increase in sales of real estate in our Land
Division, partially offset by a decrease in sales of real estate in Other Operations. In the Land
Division, approximately 13 acres were sold in the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $21.1 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2009 from $25.6 million for the same 2008 period. The decrease was a result of,
among other things, lower compensation, benefits and office related expenses reflecting a decrease
in the associate headcount from 105 employees as of June 30, 2008 to 66 employees as of June 30,

totaled $8.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and $11.8 million for the same 2008
period. Interest capitalized totaled $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and $6.3
million for the same 2008 period. Interest expense increased in the six months ended June 30, 2009
compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008 primarily as a result of less qualifying assets for
interest capitalization which resulted in less interest capitalized in the six months ended June
30, 2009 compared to the same 2008 period. The increase was partially offset by lower interest
rates during the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same 2008 period. At the time of
land or home sales, the capitalized interest allocated to inventory is charged to cost of sales.
Cost of sales of real estate for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 included previously
capitalized interest of approximately $80,000 and $44,000, respectively.
Earnings from Bluegreen Corporation
Bluegreen reported net income for the six months ended June 30, 2009 of $10.4 million, as
compared to $4.8 million for the same 2008 period. Our interest in Bluegreens earnings was $17.1
million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 (after the amortization of approximately $13.9
million related to the change in the basis as a result of the impairment charges on this investment
during the quarters ended September 30, 2008, December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009) compared to
$1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008.
Interest and Other Income
Interest and other income decreased to $843,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2009 from
$3.6 million during the same 2008 period. This decrease was mainly related to a $1.2 million gain
on sale of equity securities in the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to no gain on sale of
equity securities in the same 2009 period. In addition, interest income decreased as a result of
lower interest rates as well as a decrease in our cash balances for the six months ended June 30,
2009 compared to the same 2008 period.

Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes is estimated to result in an effective tax rate of 0.0% in
2009. The effective tax rate used for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was 0.0%. The 0.0%
effective tax rate is a result of recording a valuation allowance for those deferred tax assets
that are not expected to be recovered in the future. Due to large losses in the past and expected
taxable losses in the foreseeable future, we may not have sufficient taxable income of the
appropriate character in the future to realize any portion of the net deferred tax asset.

As of June 30, 2009, approximately 8 acres were subject to a sales contract with a sales price which could range from $3.0 million to $3.9 million
at a cost of approximately $2.2 million. The sale is contingent upon the purchaser obtaining financing and, if consummated on the contemplated
terms, would not result in a loss. |
Due to the nature and size of individual land transactions, our Land Division results have
historically fluctuated significantly. Although we have historically realized margins of between
approximately 40.0% and 60.0% on Land Division sales, margins on land sales have recently been, and
are expected to continue to be, below the historical range given the downturn in the real estate
markets and the significant decrease in demand. In addition to the impact of economic and market
factors, the sales price and margin of land sold varies depending upon: the location; the parcel
size; whether the parcel is sold as raw land, partially developed land or individually developed
lots; the degree to which the land is entitled; and whether the designated use of the land is
residential or commercial. The cost of sales of real estate is dependent upon the original cost of
the land acquired, the timing of the acquisition of the land, the amount of land development, and
interest and real estate tax costs capitalized to the particular land parcel during active
development. Allocations to cost of sales involve significant management judgment and include an
estimate of future costs of development, which can vary over time due to labor and material cost
increases, master plan design changes and regulatory modifications. Accordingly, allocations are
subject to change based on factors which are in many instances beyond managements control. Future
margins will continue to vary based on these and other market factors. If conditions in the real
estate markets do not improve or deteriorate further, we may not be able to sell land at prices
above our carrying cost or even in amounts necessary to repay our indebtedness.
The
value of acres subject to third party sales contracts ranged from
$3.0 million to $3.9 million at June 30, 2009 compared
to $96.2 million at June 30, 2008. While backlog is not an
exclusive indicator of future sales activity, it provides an indication of potential future sales
activity.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
June 30, 2009 compared to December 31, 2008
Our total assets at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 were $530.3 million and $559.3
million, respectively. The change in total assets primarily resulted from:
|
|
|
a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $56.6 million, primarily related to
cash used in operations offset by approximately $40.3 million repositioned into
investment in timed deposits; and |
|
|
|
|
a decrease in restricted cash of $13.4 million mainly associated with the settlement
payment made in connection with the bankruptcy of Levitt and Sons. |
Total liabilities at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 were $384.3 million and $439.7
million, respectively. The change in total liabilities primarily resulted from:
|
|
|
a decrease of $52.9 million associated with the reversal into income of the loss in
excess of investment in Levitt and Sons as a result of the Bankruptcy Courts approval
of the Levitt and Sons bankruptcy plan; and |
|
|
|
|
a net decrease in accounts payable and other accrued liabilities of approximately
$1.1 million primarily attributable to the timing of payments to our vendors. |
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Management assesses our liquidity in terms of our cash and cash equivalent balances and our
ability to generate cash to fund our operating and investment activities. We separately manage our
liquidity at the Parent Company level and at the operating subsidiary level. Subsidiary operations,
consisting primarily of Core Communities operations, are generally financed using proceeds from
sales of real estate inventory and debt financing using land or other developed assets as loan
collateral. Many of the financing agreements contain covenants at the subsidiary level. Parent
Company guarantees are provided only in limited circumstances and, when provided, are generally
provided on a limited basis. Available cash and our borrowing capacity may be used to pursue the
development of our master-planned communities or to pursue other investments. We also have
explored possible ways to monetize a portion of our investment in certain of Cores assets through
joint ventures or other strategic relationships, including the
possible sale of such assets or possible public or private offerings
of debt or equity securities at Core. We
have historically utilized community development districts to fund development costs at Core when
possible. We also have used available cash to repay borrowings and to pay operating expenses.
We believe that our current financial condition and credit relationships, together with
anticipated cash flows from operations and other sources of funds, which may include proceeds from
the disposition of certain properties or investments, will provide for our anticipated near-term
liquidity needs. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements through the means described
above and, as determined to be appropriate by our board of directors and management, long-term
secured and unsecured indebtedness, and future issuances of equity and/or debt securities. As
previously discussed, on July 2, 2009, we entered into a definitive merger agreement with BFC
pursuant to which we will be merged with and into a wholly owned
subsidiary of BFC. If the merger agreement is consummated, our
separate corporate existence will cease and our Class A Common
Stock will no longer be publicly traded. We expect to
continue to conduct our business, both prior to and, as a wholly owned subsidiary of BFC, after the
effective time of the merger, in the usual and ordinary course. This may include, among other things,
the continued pursuit of investments and acquisitions within or outside of the real estate industry
and the continued support of our existing investments, including additional investments in
affiliates such as Bluegreen.
Woodbridge (Parent Company level)
As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, Woodbridge had cash and short-term certificates of
deposits of $97.9 million and $107.3 million, respectively. Cash at the Parent Company level
decreased by $9.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009 primarily due to general and
administrative expenses and debt service costs.
42
At November 9, 2007, the date of the deconsolidation of Levitt and Sons, Woodbridge had a
negative investment in Levitt and Sons of $123.0 million and there were outstanding advances due to
Woodbridge from Levitt and Sons of $67.8 million, resulting in a net negative investment of $55.2
million. During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company identified approximately $2.3 million of
deferred revenue on intercompany sales between Core and Carolina Oak that had been misclassified
against the negative investment in Levitt and Sons. As a result, the Company recorded a $2.3
million reclassification in the fourth quarter of 2008 between inventory of real estate and the
loss in excess of investment in subsidiary in the consolidated statements of financial condition.
As a result, as of December 31, 2008, the net negative investment was $52.9 million. After the
filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, Woodbridge incurred certain administrative costs relating to
services performed for Levitt and Sons and its employees (the Post Petition Services). Woodbridge
did not incur Post Petition Services in the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to
approximately $591,000 and $1.6 million incurred in the same periods in 2008, respectively.
On June 27, 2008, Woodbridge entered into a settlement agreement (the Settlement Agreement)
with the Debtors and the Joint Committee of Unsecured Creditors (the Joint Committee) appointed
in the Chapter 11 Cases. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, among other things, (i) Woodbridge
agreed to pay to the Debtors bankruptcy estates the sum of $12.5 million plus accrued interest
from May 22, 2008 through the date of payment, (ii) Woodbridge agreed to waive and release
substantially all of the claims it had against the Debtors, including its administrative expense
claims through July 2008, and (iii) the Debtors (joined by the Joint Committee) agreed to waive and
release any claims they had against Woodbridge and its affiliates. After certain of Levitt and
Sons creditors indicated that they objected to the terms of the Settlement Agreement and stated a
desire to pursue claims against Woodbridge, Woodbridge, the Debtors and the Joint Committee entered
into an amendment to the Settlement Agreement, pursuant to which Woodbridge would, in lieu of the
$12.5 million payment previously agreed to, pay $8 million to the Debtors bankruptcy estates and
place $4.5 million in a release fund to be disbursed to third party creditors in exchange for a
third party release and injunction. The amendment also provided for an additional $300,000 payment
by Woodbridge to a deposit holders fund. The Settlement Agreement, as amended, was subject to a
number of conditions, including the approval of the Bankruptcy Court. On February 20, 2009, the
Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming a plan of liquidation jointly proposed by Levitt and
Sons and the Joint Committee. That order also approved the settlement pursuant to the Settlement
Agreement, as amended. No appeal or rehearing of the Bankruptcy Courts order was timely filed by
any party, and the settlement was consummated on March 3, 2009, at which time payment was made in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the Settlement Agreement, as amended. Under cost method
accounting, the cost of settlement and the related $52.9 million liability (less $500,000 which was
determined as the settlement holdback and remained as an accrual pursuant to the Settlement
Agreement, as amended) was recognized into income in the six months ended June 30, 2009, resulting
in a $40.4 million gain on settlement of investment in subsidiary.
Core Communities
At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, Core had cash and cash equivalents of $10.2 million
and $16.9 million, respectively. Cash decreased $6.7 million during the six months ended June 30,
2009 primarily as a result of cash used to fund the continued development of Cores projects as
well as selling, general and administrative expenses. At June 30, 2009, Core had no immediate
availability under its various lines of credit. Core has made efforts to minimize its development
expenditures in both Tradition, Florida and in Tradition Hilton Head; however, Core continues to
incur expenses related to the development of these communities.
Cores loan agreements generally require repayment of specified amounts upon a sale of a
portion of the property collateralizing the debt. The loans which provide the primary financing for
Tradition, Florida and Tradition Hilton Head have annual appraisal and re-margining requirements.
These provisions may require Core, in circumstances where the value of the real estate
collateralizing these loans declines, to pay down a portion of the principal amount of the loan to
bring the loan within specified minimum loan-to-value ratios. Accordingly, should land prices
decline, reappraisals could result in significant future re-margining payments. Additionally, the
loans which provide the primary financing for the commercial leasing projects contain certain debt
service coverage ratio covenants. If net operating income from these projects falls below levels
necessary to maintain compliance with these covenants, Core would be required to make principal
curtailment payments sufficient to reduce the loan balance to an amount which would bring Core into
compliance with the requirement, and these curtailment payments could be significant.
43
In January of 2009, Core was advised by one of its lenders that it had received an external
appraisal on the land that serves as collateral for a development mortgage note payable, which had an
outstanding balance of $86.4 million at June 30, 2009. The appraised value would suggest the
potential for a re-margining payment to bring the note payable back in line with the minimum
loan-to-value requirement. The lender is conducting its internal review procedures, including the
determination of the appraised value. As of the date of this filing, Core is in discussions with
the lender to restructure the loan which may eliminate any re-margining requirements; however,
there is no assurance that these discussions will be successful or that re-margining payments will
not otherwise be required in the future.
Core has a credit agreement with a financial institution which provides for borrowings of up
to $64.3 million. The credit agreement had an original maturity date of June 26, 2009 and a
variable interest rate of 30-day LIBOR plus 170 basis points or Prime Rate. During June 2009, the
loan agreement was modified to extend the maturity date to June 2012. The loan, as modified, bears
interest at a fixed interest rate of 5.5%. The terms of the modification also required Core to
pledge approximately 10 acres of additional collateral. The new terms of the loan also include a
debt service coverage ratio covenant of 1.10:1 and the elimination of
a loan to value covenant. As of June 30, 2009, the loan had an outstanding
balance of $58.3 million.
Certain of Cores debt facilities contain financial covenants generally requiring certain net
worth, liquidity and loan to value ratios. Further, certain of Cores debt facilities contain
cross-default provisions under which a default on one loan with a lender could cause a default on
other debt instruments with the same lender. If Core fails to comply with any of these restrictions
or covenants, the lenders under the applicable debt facilities could cause Cores debt to become
due and payable prior to maturity. These accelerations or significant re-margining payments could
require Core to dedicate a substantial portion of its cash to pay its debt and reduce its ability
to use its cash to fund its operations. If Core does not have sufficient cash to satisfy these
required payments, then Core would need to seek to refinance the debt or obtain alternative funds,
which may not be available on attractive terms, if at all. In the event that Core is unable to
refinance its debt or obtain additional funds, it may default on some or all of its existing debt
facilities.
Cores operations have been negatively impacted by the downturn in the residential and
commercial real-estate industries. Market conditions have adversely affected Cores commercial
leasing projects and its ability to complete sales of its real estate inventory and, as a
consequence, Core is experiencing cash flow deficits. Possible liquidity sources available to Core
include the sale of real estate inventory, including commercial properties, as well as debt and
outside equity financing, including secured borrowings using unencumbered land; however, there is
no assurance that any or all of these alternatives will be available to Core on attractive terms,
if at all, or that Core will otherwise be in a position to utilize such alternatives to improve its
cash position. In addition, while funding from Woodbridge is a possible source of liquidity,
Woodbridge is generally under no contractual obligation to provide funding to Core and there is no
assurance that it will do so.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
In connection with the development of certain of Cores projects, community development,
special assessment or improvement districts have been established and may utilize tax-exempt bond
financing to fund construction or acquisition of certain on-site and off-site infrastructure
improvements near or at these communities. If these improvement districts were not established,
Core would need to fund community infrastructure development out of operating cash flow or through
sources of financing or capital, or be forced to delay its development activity. The obligation to
pay principal and interest on the bonds issued by the districts is assigned to each parcel within
the district, and a priority assessment lien may be placed on benefited parcels to provide security
for the debt service. The bonds, including interest and redemption premiums, if any, and the
associated priority lien on the property are typically payable, secured and satisfied by revenues,
fees, or assessments levied on the property benefited. Core pays a portion of the revenues, fees,
and assessments levied by the districts on the properties it still owns that are benefited by the
improvements. Core may also be required to pay down a specified portion of the bonds at the time
each unit or parcel is sold. The costs of these obligations are capitalized to inventory during the
development period and recognized as cost of sales when the properties are sold.
Cores bond financing at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 consisted of district bonds
totaling $218.7 million at each of these dates with outstanding amounts of approximately $143.6
million and $130.5 million, respectively. Further, at June 30, 2009, approximately $68.4
million were available under these bonds to fund future development expenditures. Bond obligations at
June 30, 2009 mature in 2035 and 2040. As of June 30, 2009, Core owned approximately 16% of the
property subject to assessments within the community
44
development district and approximately 91% of
the property subject to assessments within the special assessment
district. During the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, Core recorded approximately
$158,000 and $163,000, respectively, in assessments on property owned by it in the districts.
During the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, Core recorded approximately $317,000 and
$268,000, respectively, in assessments on property owned by it in the districts. Core is
responsible for any assessed amounts until the underlying property is sold and will continue to be
responsible for the annual assessments if the property is never sold. In addition, Core has
guaranteed payments for assessments under the district bonds in Tradition, Florida which would
require funding if future assessments to be allocated to property owners are insufficient to repay
the bonds. Management has evaluated this exposure based upon the criteria in Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, and has determined that there
have been no substantive changes to the projected density or land use in the development subject to
the bond which would make it probable that Core would have to fund future shortfalls in
assessments.
In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 91-10, Accounting for Special
Assessments and Tax Increment Financing, the Company records a liability for the estimated
developer obligations that are fixed and determinable and user fees that are required to be paid or
transferred at the time the parcel or unit is sold to an end user. At each of June 30, 2009 and
December 31, 2008, the liability related to developer obligations associated with Cores ownership
of the property was $3.3 million. This liability is included in the accompanying unaudited
consolidated statements of financial condition as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

Amounts exclude interest because terms of repayment are based on construction activity and
sales volume. In addition, a large portion of the debt is based on variable rates. |

These amounts represent scheduled principal payments. Some of those borrowings require the
repayment of specified amounts upon a sale of portions of the property collateralizing those
obligations, as well as curtailment repayments prior to scheduled maturity pursuant to
re-margining requirements. |
Long-term debt obligations consist of notes, mortgage notes and bonds payable and junior
subordinated debentures. Operating lease obligations consist of lease commitments. In addition to
the above contractual obligations, we have $2.4 million in unrecognized tax benefits related to
FASB Interpretation No. 48 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of
FASB No. 109 (FIN No. 48). FIN No. 48 provides guidance for how a company should recognize,
measure, present and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that a company
has taken or expects to take on a tax return.
At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we had outstanding surety bonds of approximately $5.4
million and $8.2 million, respectively, which were related primarily to obligations to various
governmental entities to construct improvements in various communities. We currently estimate that
approximately $1.1 million of work remains to complete these improvements and that further
improvements to developments not being pursued will not be required. Accordingly, we do not believe
that any material amounts will likely be drawn on the outstanding surety bonds.
Levitt and Sons had approximately $33.3 million of surety bonds related to its ongoing
projects at the time of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases. In the event that these obligations
are drawn and paid by the surety, Woodbridge could be responsible for up to $11.7 million plus
costs and expenses in accordance with the surety indemnity agreements executed by Woodbridge. At
each of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we had $1.1 million in surety bonds accrual at
Woodbridge related to certain bonds where management believes it to be probable that Woodbridge
will be required to reimburse the surety under applicable indemnity agreements.
45
Woodbridge did not reimburse any amounts during the three months ended June 30, 2009, while it reimbursed
approximately $367,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2008 in accordance with the indemnity
agreement for bond claims paid during the period. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and
2008, Woodbridge reimbursed the surety approximately $37,000 and $532,000, respectively. It is
unclear whether and to what extent the remaining outstanding surety bonds of Levitt and Sons will
be drawn and the extent to which Woodbridge may be responsible for additional amounts beyond this
accrual. There is no assurance that Woodbridge will not be responsible for amounts in excess of
the $1.1 million accrual. Woodbridge will not receive any repayment, assets or other consideration
as recovery of any amounts it may be required to pay. In September 2008, a surety filed a lawsuit
to require Woodbridge to post $5.4 million of collateral against a portion of the $11.7 million
surety bonds exposure in connection with demands made by a municipality. We believe that the
municipality does not have the right to demand payment under the bonds and we initiated a lawsuit
against the municipality. We do not believe a loss is probable and accordingly have not accrued any
amount related to this claim. However, based on claims made on the bonds, the surety requested that
Woodbridge post a $4.0 million letter of credit as security while the matter is litigated with the
municipality, and we have complied with that request.
On November 9, 2007, Woodbridge put in place an employee fund and offered up to $5 million of
severance benefits to terminated Levitt and Sons employees to supplement the limited termination
benefits paid by Levitt and Sons to those employees. Levitt and Sons was restricted in the payment
of termination benefits to its former employees by virtue of the Chapter 11 Cases. Woodbridge did
not incur any significant severance and benefits related restructuring charges in the three months
ended June 30, 2009, while, during the three months ended June 30, 2008, Woodbridge incurred
charges of approximately $816,000. During the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, Woodbridge
incurred severance and benefits related restructuring charges of approximately $82,000 and $2.0
million, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, Woodbridge paid
approximately $79,000 and $1.2 million, respectively, in severance and termination charges related
to the above described employee fund as well as severance for employees other than Levitt and Sons
employees, all of which are reflected in the Other Operations segment. For the six months ended
June 30, 2009 and 2008, these charges amounted to approximately $211,000 and $2.7 million,
respectively. Employees entitled to participate in the fund either received a payment stream, which
in certain cases extends over two years, or a lump sum payment, dependent on a variety of factors.
Former Levitt and Sons employees who received these payments were required to assign to Woodbridge
their unsecured claims against Levitt and Sons.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS.
See Note 20 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included under Item 1 of this
report for a discussion of new accounting pronouncements applicable to us.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk is defined as the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market valuations
that arise from interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk, commodity price risk and
equity price risk. We have a risk of loss associated with our borrowings as we are subject to
interest rate risk on our long-term debt. At June 30, 2009, we had $185.1 million in borrowings
with adjustable rates tied to the Prime Rate and/or LIBOR rate and $163.4 million in borrowings
with fixed or initially-fixed rates. Consequently, the impact on our variable rate debt from
changes in interest rates may affect our earnings and cash flow but would generally not impact the
fair value of such debt except to the extent of changes in credit spreads. With respect to fixed
rate debt, changes in interest rates generally affect the fair market value of the debt but not our
earnings or cash flow.
Assuming the variable rate debt balance of $185.1 million outstanding at June 30, 2009 (which
does not include initially fixed-rate obligations which do not become floating rate during 2009)
was to remain constant, each one percentage point increase in interest rates would increase the
interest incurred by us by approximately $1.9 million per year.
We are subject to equity pricing risks associated with our investments in Bluegreen and Office
Depot. The value of these securities will vary based on the results of operations and financial
condition of these investments, the general liquidity of Bluegreens and Office Depots common
stock and general equity market conditions. The trading market for Bluegreens and Office Depots
common stock may not be liquid enough to permit us to sell the shares of such stock that we own
without significantly reducing the market price of the shares, if we are able to sell them at all.
