BFC Financial Corporation
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Presentation of Interim Financial Statements
          BFC Financial Corporation (“BFC” or the “Company”) (NYSE Arca: BFF) is a diversified holding company that invests in and acquires private and public companies in different industries. BFC’s current major holdings include controlling interests in BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“BankAtlantic Bancorp”) (NYSE: BBX) and Woodbridge Holdings Corporation (formerly Levitt Corporation) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“Woodbridge”) (NYSE: WDG) and a noncontrolling interest in Benihana, Inc. (NASDAQ: BNHN), which operates Asian-themed restaurant chains in the United States. As a result of the Company’s position as the controlling shareholder of BankAtlantic Bancorp, BFC is a “unitary savings bank holding company” regulated by the Office of Thrift Supervision.
          As a holding company with controlling positions in BankAtlantic Bancorp and Woodbridge, BFC is required under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) to consolidate the financial results of these companies. As a consequence, the financial information of both entities is presented on a consolidated basis in BFC’s financial statements. However, except as otherwise noted, the debts and obligations of BankAtlantic Bancorp and Woodbridge are not direct obligations of BFC and are non-recourse to BFC. Similarly, the assets of those entities are not available to BFC absent its pro rata share in a dividend or distribution.
          BFC’s ownership in BankAtlantic Bancorp and Woodbridge as of June 30, 2008 was as follows:
                         
                    Percent
    Shares   Percent of   of
    Owned   Ownership   Vote
BankAtlantic Bancorp
                       
Class A Common Stock
    8,329,236       16.25 %     8.61 %
Class B Common Stock
    4,876,124       100.00 %     47.00 %
Total
    13,205,360       23.53 %     55.61 %
 
                       
Woodbridge
                       
Class A Common Stock (1)
    18,676,955       19.62 %     6.98 %
Class B Common Stock
    1,219,031       100.00 %     47.00 %
Total
    19,895,986       20.64 %     53.98 %
 
(1)   BFC’s percent of ownership includes, but BFC’s percent of vote excludes, 6,145,582 shares of Woodbridge’s Class A Common Stock which BFC has agreed not to vote, subject to certain limited exceptions.
          BankAtlantic Bancorp is a unitary savings bank holding company organized under the laws of the State of Florida. BankAtlantic Bancorp’s principal asset is its investment in BankAtlantic and its subsidiaries. On February 28, 2007, BankAtlantic Bancorp completed the sale to Stifel Financial Corp. (“Stifel”) of Ryan Beck Holdings, Inc. (“Ryan Beck”), a subsidiary engaged in retail and institutional brokerage and investment banking. As a consequence, the results of operations of Ryan Beck are presented as “Discontinued Operations” in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for three and six months ended June 30, 2007. Also, the financial information of Ryan Beck is included in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
          Woodbridge engages in various business activities through its subsidiaries, Core Communities, LLC (“Core Communities” or “Core”), which develops master-planned communities, and Carolina Oak Homes, LLC (“Carolina Oak”), which engages in homebuilding activities and is developing a community in South Carolina, equity investment, currently primarily in Office Depot, Inc. (“Office Depot”), and other investments in real estate projects through subsidiaries and joint ventures. Woodbridge also owns an approximately 31% ownership interest in Bluegreen Corporation (“Bluegreen”) (NYSE: BXG). During 2007, Woodbridge also conducted homebuilding operations through Levitt and Sons, LLC (“Levitt and Sons”) which was deconsolidated on November 9, 2007. As previously reported, on November 9, 2007, Levitt and Sons and substantially all of its subsidiaries (the “Debtors”)

12


Table of Contents

filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida (the “Bankruptcy Court”). In connection with the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, Woodbridge deconsolidated Levitt and Sons as of November 9, 2007, eliminating all future operations of Levitt and Sons from Woodbridge’s financial results of operations. As a result of the deconsolidation, in accordance with Accounting Research Bulletin (“ARB”) No. 51, Woodbridge follows the cost method of accounting to record its interest in Levitt and Sons.
          Since Levitt and Sons’ results are no longer consolidated and Woodbridge believes that it is not probable that it will be obligated to fund future operating losses at Levitt and Sons, any adjustments reflected in Levitt and Sons’ financial statements subsequent to November 9, 2007 are not expected to affect the results of operations of Woodbridge. Woodbridge will continue to evaluate the cost method investment in Levitt and Sons on a quarterly basis to review the reasonableness of the liability balance. Under cost method accounting, income will only be recognized to the extent of cash received in the future or when Levitt and Sons is legally released from its bankruptcy obligations through the approval of the Bankruptcy Court, at which time, the recorded loss in excess of the investment in Levitt and Sons can be recognized into income. (See Note 23 for further information regarding Levitt and Sons and the Chapter 11 Cases.)
          The financial results for two of Core Communities’ commercial leasing projects are presented as Discontinued Operations in the consolidated statements of operations for the periods presented, as more fully described in Note 4.
          The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In management’s opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain such adjustments as are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s consolidated financial condition at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007; the consolidated results of operations, comprehensive loss for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the changes in consolidated shareholders’ equity for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and consolidated cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2008. The consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q and should be read in conjunction with the notes to the consolidated financial statements appearing in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
2. Fair Value Measurement
          Effective January 1, 2008, the Company partially adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”), which provides a framework for measuring fair value. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS 157-2, which delayed the effective date for SFAS No. 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities until January 1, 2009. As such, the Company did not adopt SFAS No. 157 fair value framework for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements at least annually. The Company also did not adopt the SFAS No. 157 fair value framework for leasing transactions as these transactions were excluded from the scope of SFAS No. 157.
          In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (”SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 allows the Company an irrevocable option for measurement of financial assets or liabilities at fair value on a contract-by-contract basis. The Company did not elect the fair value option for any of its financial assets or liabilities as of the date of adoption (January 1, 2008) or for the six months ended June 30, 2008.
          SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the exit price) in an orderly (hypothetical) transaction between market participants at the date of measurement. SFAS No. 157 also defines valuation techniques and a fair value hierarchy to prioritize the inputs used in the valuation techniques. The input fair value hierarchy has three broad levels and gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).

13


Table of Contents

          The input fair value hierarchy is summarized below:
          Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at each reporting date. An active market for the asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and is used to measure fair value whenever available.
          Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included as Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, a Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, that is, markets in which there are few transactions for the asset or liability, the prices are not current, or price quotations vary substantially either over time or among market makers (for example, some brokered markets), or in which little information is released publicly (for example, a principal-to-principal market); and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (for example, interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, and default rates).
          Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs are used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for measurement at fair value in situations in where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.
          The following table presents major categories of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2008 (in thousands):

          The percentage of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs to the total assets measured at fair value was 2.22%.
          There were no liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the Company’s financial statements.

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

          There were no liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis in the Company’s financial statements.
Loans Measured for Impairment
          Third party appraisals are primarily used to assist BankAtlantic in measuring impairment of its collateral dependent impaired loans. These appraisals generally use the market or income approach valuation technique and use market observable data to formulate an opinion of the fair value of the loan’s collateral. However, the appraiser uses professional judgment in determining the fair value of the collateral or properties and these values may also be adjusted for changes in market conditions subsequent to the appraisal date. When current appraisals are not available for certain loans, judgment is used on market conditions to adjust the most current appraisal. The sales prices may reflect prices of sales contracts not closed and the amount of time required to sell out the real estate project may be derived from current appraisals of similar projects. As a consequence, the fair value of the collateral is considered a Level 3 valuation.
Private Equity Investment
          Private investment securities represent investments in limited partnerships that invest in equity securities based on proprietary investment strategies. The underlying equity investments in these limited partnerships are publicly traded equity securities and the fair values of these securities are obtained from the general partner. As the fair values of the underlying securities in the limited partnership were obtained from the general partner the fair value assigned to these investments is considered Level 3.
3. Segment Reporting
          Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in assessing performance and deciding how to allocate resources. Reportable segments consist of one or more operating segments with similar economic characteristics, products and services, production processes, type of customer, distribution system or regulatory environment.
          The information provided for segment reporting is based on internal reports utilized by management of the Company and its respective subsidiaries. The presentation and allocation of assets and results of operations may not reflect the actual economic costs of the segments as stand alone businesses. If a different basis of allocation were utilized, the relative contributions of the segments might differ but the relative trends in segments’ operating results would, in management’s view, likely not be impacted.
          The Company currently operates through four reportable segments, which are: BFC Activities, Financial Services, Land Division and Woodbridge Other Operations. In 2007, the Company operated through two additional reportable business segments, Primary Homebuilding and Tennessee Homebuilding, both of which were eliminated as a result of Levitt and Sons’ deconsolidation.

16


Table of Contents

          Except as otherwise indicated in this Report, the accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. Inter-company transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
          The Company evaluates segment performance based on (loss) income from continuing operations net of tax and noncontrolling interest.
          The following summarizes the aggregation of the Company’s operating segments into reportable segments:
BFC Activities
          This segment includes all of the operations and all of the assets owned by BFC other than BankAtlantic Bancorp and its subsidiaries and Woodbridge Holdings Corporation and its subsidiaries. This includes dividends from BFC’s investment in Benihana’s convertible preferred stock and other securities and investments, and income and expenses associated with the arrangement between BFC, BankAtlantic Bancorp, Woodbridge and Bluegreen for shared services in the areas of human resources, risk management, investor relations and executive office administration.
          The BFC Activities segment also includes BFC’s overhead and interest expense, the financial results of venture partnerships that BFC controls and BFC’s provision (benefit) for income taxes, including the tax provision (benefit) related to the Company’s interest in the earnings or losses of BankAtlantic Bancorp and Woodbridge. BankAtlantic Bancorp and Woodbridge are consolidated in the Company’s financial statements, as described earlier. The Company’s earnings or losses in BankAtlantic Bancorp are included in the Financial Services segment, and the Company’s earnings or losses in Woodbridge are reflected in the Land Division and Woodbridge Other Operations segments in 2008. In 2007, the Company’s earnings or losses in Woodbridge were also reflected in two additional reportable business segments, Primary Homebuilding and Tennessee Homebuilding, both of which were eliminated as a result of Levitt and Sons’ deconsolidation on November 9, 2007.
Financial Services
          The Company’s Financial Services segment consists of BankAtlantic Bancorp and its subsidiaries’ operations, including the operations of BankAtlantic.
Primary Homebuilding
          The Company’s Primary Homebuilding segment consisted of the operations of Levitt and Sons’ homebuilding operations in Florida, Georgia and South Carolina while they were included in the consolidated financial statements.
Tennessee Homebuilding
          The Company’s Tennessee Homebuilding segment consisted of Levitt and Sons’ homebuilding operations in Tennessee while they were included in the consolidated financial statements.
Land Division
          The Company’s Land Division segment consists of Core Communities’ operations.
Woodbridge Other Operations
          Woodbridge Other Operations segment consists of the activities of Woodbridge Holdings Corporation’s operations, the operations of Carolina Oak, earnings from investments in Bluegreen, equity investments, currently primarily in Office Depot, and other investments through Woodbridge’s subsidiaries and joint ventures. In 2007, Woodbridge Other Operations segment also consisted of Levitt Commercial, LLC, which specialized in the development of industrial properties. Levitt Commercial ceased development activities in 2007. The results of operations and financial condition of Carolina Oak as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 are included in the Primary Homebuilding segment, whereas the results of operations and financial condition of Carolina Oak as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 are included in Woodbridge Other Operations.

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

          In March 2007, BankAtlantic Bancorp reduced its workforce by approximately 225 associates, or 8%, in an effort to improve efficiencies. Included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 were $2.6 million of costs associated with one-time termination benefits. These benefits include $0.3 million of share-based compensation expense.
          In April 2008, BankAtlantic Bancorp further reduced its workforce by approximately 124 associates, or 6%. This further reduction in the workforce impacted the Company’s Financial Services operating segment and was completed on April 18, 2008. BankAtlantic Bancorp incurred $2.1 million of employee termination costs which was included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008.
          In December 2007, a decision was made to sell certain properties that BankAtlantic had acquired for its future store expansion program and to terminate or sublease certain operating leases. As a consequence, $1.0 million of contract liabilities was recorded associated with executed operating leases. During the three months ended June 30, 2008, $0.4 million of contract liabilities were incurred in connection with the termination of back-office operating leases and the assignment of operating leases associated with the sale of the Central Florida stores described below.

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

Table of Contents

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

          At June 30, 2008, Woodbridge owned approximately 9.5 million shares of the common stock of Bluegreen representing approximately 31% of its outstanding common stock. Woodbridge accounts for its investment in Bluegreen under the equity method of accounting.
          At June 30, 2008, Woodbridge’s investment in Bluegreen was approximately $112.7 million and its trading value of the shares of Bluegreen’s common stock owned by Woodbridge was $57.6 million based on the closing price of Bluegreen’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange of $6.05 per share on June 30, 2008. Woodbridge valued Bluegreen’s common stock using a market approach valuation technique and inputs categorized as Level 1 inputs under SFAS No. 157.
          During the quarter ended March 31, 2008, Woodbridge performed an impairment review of its investment in Bluegreen in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) No. 03-1, Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 18 and Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 59 to analyze various quantitative and qualitative factors and determine if an impairment adjustment was needed. Based on the evaluation and the review of various qualitative and quantitative factors relating to the performance of Bluegreen, Bluegreen’s then-current stock price, and management’s intention with regard to this investment, Woodbridge determined that the impairment associated with the investment in Bluegreen was not an other than temporary decline and accordingly, no adjustment to the carrying value was recorded.
          On July 21, 2008, Bluegreen announced that it had entered into a non-binding letter of intent for the sale of 100% of its outstanding common stock for $15 per share. The letter of intent provides for a due diligence and exclusivity period through September 15, 2008. There can be no assurance that the transaction will be consummated on the proposed terms, if at all, however, the proposed terms indicate that the value of the shares of Bluegreen’s common stock owned by Woodbridge exceeds the current book value of such shares. Accordingly, Woodbridge has determined that there is currently no impairment associated with its investment in Bluegreen.

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

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

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

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

Table of Contents

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

(a)   Pursuant to the terms of shared service arrangement between BFC, BankAtlantic Bancorp and Woodbridge, BFC provides shared service operations in the areas of human resources, risk management, investor relations, executive office administration and other services to BankAtlantic Bancorp and Woodbridge. Additionally, BFC provides certain risk management and administrative services to Bluegreen. The costs of shared services are allocated based upon the estimated usage of the respective services. Also, as part of the shared service arrangement, the Company pays BankAtlantic Bancorp and Bluegreen for office facilities costs relating to the Company and its shared service operations.
 
    In May 2008, BFC and BFC Shared Service Corporation (“BFC Shared Service”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of BFC, entered into office lease agreements with BankAtlantic under which BFC and BFC Shared Service pay BankAtlantic an annual rent of approximately $294,000 for office space in BankAtlantic’s corporate headquarters.

(b) BFC and Woodbridge entered into securities sold under agreements to repurchase transactions with BankAtlantic in the aggregate of $0.3 million and $7.3 million as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. As of June 30, 2008, Woodbridge maintained funds in a money market account at BankAtlantic in the amount of $55.7 million. As of August 11, 2008, Woodbridge’s balance in money market accounts and securities sold under repurchase agreements at BankAtlantic is approximately $3.7 million. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, approximately $11,000 and $37,000 of interest was recognized in connection with the above, as compared to $39,000 and $90,000 during the same 2007 periods. These transactions have similar terms as BankAtlantic agreements with unaffiliated parties.
          BankAtlantic Bancorp, prior to the spin-off of Woodbridge in 2003, issued options to acquire shares of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s Class A common stock to employees of Woodbridge. Additionally, employees of BankAtlantic Bancorp have been transferred to affiliate companies, and BankAtlantic Bancorp has elected, in accordance with the terms of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s stock option plans, not to cancel the stock options held by those former employees. BankAtlantic Bancorp accounts for these options to former employees as employee stock options because these individuals were employees of BankAtlantic Bancorp on the grant date. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, certain of these former employees exercised 13,062 of options to acquire BankAtlantic Bancorp Class A common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $8.56. No former employees exercised options during the six months ended June 30, 2008.
          Options outstanding to BankAtlantic Bancorp former employees, who are now employees of affiliate companies, consisted of the following as of June 30, 2008:
                 
    BankAtlantic Bancorp    
    Class A   Weighted
    Common   Average
    Stock   Price
Options outstanding
    268,943   $   9.69  
Options nonvested
    68,050   $   18.57  
          During the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, BankAtlantic Bancorp issued to BFC employees who perform services for BankAtlantic Bancorp options to acquire 49,000 and 50,300 shares of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s Class A common stock at an exercise price of $9.38 and $14.69, respectively. These options vest in five years and expire ten years from the grant date. Service provider expense of $17,000 and $36,000 was recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, compared to $15,000 and $27,000 for the same periods in 2007.
          Certain of the Company’s affiliates, including its executive officers, have in the past independently made investments with their own funds in both public and private entities that the Company sponsored in 2001 and in which it holds investments.
          Florida Partners Corporation owns 133,314 shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock and 1,270,302 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock. Alan B. Levan may be deemed to be the controlling shareholder of Florida Partners Corporation with beneficial ownership of approximately 44.5% of its outstanding stock and is also a member of its Board of Directors.
          On November 19, 2007, BFC’s shareholders approved the merger of I.R.E Realty Advisory Group, Inc. (“I.R.E. RAG”), a 45.5% subsidiary of BFC, with and into BFC. The sole assets of I.R.E. RAG were 4,764,285 shares of BFC Class A Common Stock and 500,000 shares of BFC Class B Common Stock. In connection with the merger, the shareholders of I.R.E. RAG, other than BFC, received an aggregate of approximately 2,601,300 shares of BFC Class A Common Stock and 273,000 shares of BFC Class B Common Stock, representing their respective pro rata beneficial ownership interests in I.R.E. RAG’s BFC shares, and the 4,764,285 shares of BFC Class A Common Stock and 500,000 shares of BFC Class B Common Stock that were held by I.R.E. RAG were canceled. The shareholders of I.R.E. RAG, other than BFC, were Levan Enterprises, Ltd. and I.R.E. Properties, Inc., each of which is an affiliate of Alan B. Levan, Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairman of the Board of Directors of BFC. The transaction was consummated on November 30, 2007.

17. Loss Per Common Share
          The Company has two classes of common stock outstanding. The two-class method is not presented because the Company’s capital structure does not provide for different dividend rates or other preferences, other than voting rights, between the two classes. The number of options considered outstanding shares for diluted earnings per share is based upon application of the treasury stock method to the options outstanding as of the end of the period.
          Prior to the merger of I.R.E. RAG, their ownership of 4,764,285 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and 500,000 shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock were considered outstanding, but because the Company owned 45.5% of the outstanding common stock of I.R.E. RAG, 2,165,367 shares of Class A Common Stock and 227,250 shares of Class B Common Stock were eliminated from the number of shares outstanding for purposes of computing earnings per share.
          The merger neither increased the number of shares of BFC Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock outstanding nor changed the outstanding shares for calculating earnings (loss) per share.
          The following reconciles the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted loss per common share computation for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 (in thousands, except per share data).

          Cash dividends received from subsidiaries for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $132,000 and $1.1 million, respectively.
          In June 2008, BFC (the parent company) increased its investment in a wholly-owned subsidiary by converting a $3.7 million note receivable that was due from a wholly-owned subsidiary into equity in that subsidiary.
19. Income Taxes
          BankAtlantic Bancorp and Woodbridge are not included in the Company’s consolidated tax return. At June 30, 2008, the Company (excluding BankAtlantic Bancorp and Woodbridge) had estimated state and federal net operating loss (“NOLs”) carryforwards of approximately $82.2 million. As the Company is not expected to generate taxable income from operations in the foreseeable future, the Company has plans to implement a planning strategy to utilize NOLs that are scheduled to expire. If the strategy is implemented, the Company would begin selling shares of BankAtlantic Bancorp Class A Common Stock in order to generate sufficient taxable income to utilize the $3.3 million of NOLs expected to expire in 2008. The Company would then repurchase a sufficient number of shares to substantially maintain its ownership of BankAtlantic Bancorp. If the stock price on sale is lower than the Company’s book basis at the time of sale, a loss will be recognized and reflected in the Company’s results of operations. Based on the current stock price of BankAtlantic Bancorp Class A Common Stock, the Company’s management has determined that it is not possible to implement the strategy at this time and will re-evaluate its position at the end of the third quarter of 2008.
          BankAtlantic Bancorp evaluates the need for a deferred tax asset valuation allowance quarterly. Based on its evaluation as of June 30, 2008, a valuation allowance was required in the amount of $6.2 million as it was more likely than not that certain State net operating loss carry forwards included in BankAtlantic Bancorp’s deferred tax assets will not be realized. Although BankAtlantic Bancorp incurred substantial losses before income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2007 and for the six months ended June 30, 2008, management of BankAtlantic Bancorp

36


Table of Contents

believes that it is more likely than not that BankAtlantic Bancorp will have sufficient taxable income in future years to realize its remaining net deferred income tax asset. Management of BankAtlantic Bancorp believes that these losses primarily reflect the deteriorating Florida real estate market that led to significant charge-offs and provisions for loan losses in BankAtlantic’s commercial residential real estate and consumer home equity loan portfolios. Management of BankAtlantic Bancorp believes that it will realize its net deferred tax asset over the allowable carry forward period. However, if future events change management’s assumptions and estimates regarding BankAtlantic Bancorp’s future earnings, a significant deferred tax asset valuation allowance may have to be established.
          Due to Woodbridge’s large losses in 2007 and expected taxable losses in the foreseeable future, at this time, Woodbridge does not believe it will have sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character in the future and prior carryback years to realize any portion of the net deferred tax asset. Accordingly in 2008, Woodbridge recorded a valuation allowance for those deferred tax assets that are not expected to be recovered in the future.
          Wood bridge and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as to income tax in Florida and South Carolina. Woodbridge has effectively settled all U.S. federal income tax matters for years through 2004. All years subsequent to these closed periods remain open and subject to examination.
          At June 30, 2008, Woodbridge had $2.4 million in unrecognized tax benefits related to the implementation of FASB Interpretation No. 48 — “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB No. 109”. ). FIN No. 48 provides guidance for how a company should recognize, measure, present and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that a company has taken or expects to take on a tax return.
20. Goodwill
          Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually at the reporting unit level in accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. Goodwill may be tested more frequently if certain conditions are met. As a result of the adverse real estate market conditions, BankAtlantic performed an interim goodwill impairment test for its reporting units as of June 30, 2008. The results of this test indicated that goodwill was not impaired. If market conditions deteriorate further in the Florida real estate markets or if competition increases in the banking environment in Florida, we may be required to record a goodwill impairment charge in subsequent periods.
21. New Accounting Pronouncements
          In December 2007, FASB Statement No. 141 (Revised 2007), Business Combinations (“SFAS No. 141(R)”) was issued. This statement will significantly change the accounting for business combinations. Under SFAS No. 141(R), an acquiring entity will be required to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value with limited exceptions. SFAS No.141(R) will change the accounting treatment for certain specific items, including the following: acquisition costs will be generally expensed as incurred; noncontrolling interests (formerly known as “minority interests”) will be valued at fair value at the acquisition date; acquired contingent liabilities will be recorded at fair value at the acquisition date and subsequently measured at either the higher of such amount or the amount determined under existing guidance for non-acquired contingencies; and changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally will affect income tax expense. Also included in SFAS No.141(R) are a substantial number of new disclosure requirements. SFAS No.141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. Accordingly, a calendar year-end company is required to record and disclose business combinations following existing Generally Accepted Accounting Principles until December 31, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) could have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements if management decides to pursue business combinations due to the requirement to write-off transaction costs to the consolidated statements of operations.

          In December 2007, FASB issued FASB Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—An Amendment of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS No. 160”). SFAS No. 160 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Specifically, this statement requires the recognition of a noncontrolling interest (minority interest) as equity in the consolidated financial statements and separate from the parent’s equity. The amount of net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the income statement. SFAS No. 160 clarifies that changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation are equity transactions if the parent retains its controlling financial interest. In addition, this statement requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. Such gain or loss will be measured using the fair value of the noncontrolling equity investment on the deconsolidation date. SFAS No. 160 also includes expanded disclosure requirements regarding the interests of the parent and its noncontrolling interest. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 160 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
          In March 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS No. 161”). SFAS No,. 161 is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring transparency about the location and amounts of derivative instruments in an entity’s financial statements; how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No 133; and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for the first quarter of 2009. SFAS No. 161 expands derivative disclosure on the annual and interim reporting period. Management does not believe that the implementation of SFAS No. 161 will impact the Company’s financial statements.
          In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS No. 162”). SFAS No. 162 is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements for nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. SFAS No. 162 will be effective 60 days following the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” The Company has not yet determined the impact, if any, that the adoption of SFAS No. 162 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
22. Litigation
          On January 25, 2008, plaintiff Robert D. Dance filed a purported class action complaint as a putative purchaser of Woodbridge’s securities against Woodbridge and certain of its officers and directors, asserting claims under the federal securities laws and seeking damages. This action was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida and is captioned Dance v. Levitt Corp. et al., No. 08-CV-60111-DLG. The securities litigation purports to be brought on behalf of all purchasers of Woodbridge’s 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 Woodbridge’s financial results, prospects and condition. Woodbridge intends to vigorously defend this action.
          The Company is a party to additional various claims and lawsuits which arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these claims or lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on its business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

23. Financial Information of Levitt and Sons
          As described in Note 1 above, on November 9, 2007, the Debtors filed the Chapter 11 Cases. The Debtors commenced the Chapter 11 Cases in order to preserve the value of their assets and to facilitate an orderly wind-down of their businesses and disposition of their assets in a manner intended to maximize the recoveries of all constituents. In connection with the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, Woodbridge deconsolidated Levitt and Sons as of November 9, 2007. As a result of the deconsolidation, Woodbridge had a negative basis in its investment in Levitt and Sons because Levitt and Sons generated significant losses and intercompany liabilities in excess of its asset balances. This negative investment, “Loss in excess of investment in Woodbridge’s subsidiary”, is reflected as a single amount on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as a $55.2 million liability as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007. This balance was comprised of a negative investment in Levitt and Sons of $123.0 million, and outstanding advances due to Woodbridge from Levitt and Sons of $67.8 million. Included in the negative investment was approximately $15.8 million associated with deferred revenue related to intra-segment sales between Levitt and Sons and Core Communities.
          On November 27, 2007, the Bankruptcy Court granted the Debtors’ Motion for Authority to Incur Chapter 11 Administrative Expense Claim (the “Chapter 11 Admin. Expense Motion”), thereby authorizing the Debtors to incur a post petition administrative expense claim in favor of Woodbridge for administrative costs relating to certain services and benefits provided by Woodbridge in favor of the Debtors (the “Post Petition Services”). While the Bankruptcy Court approved the incurrence of the amounts as unsecured post petition administrative expense claims, the payment of such claims is subject to additional court approval. In addition to the unsecured administrative expense claims, Woodbridge has pre-petition secured and unsecured claims against the Debtors. The Debtors have scheduled the amounts due to Woodbridge in the Chapter 11 Cases. The unsecured pre-petition claims of Woodbridge scheduled by the Debtors are approximately $67.3 million and the secured pre-petition claim scheduled by the Debtors is approximately $460,000. Since the Chapter 11 Cases were filed, Woodbridge has also incurred certain administrative costs related to the Post Petition Services, these costs amounted to $591,000 and $1.6 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2008. Additionally, as disclosed in Note 15, in the six months ended June 30, 2008, Woodbridge reimbursed a Levitt and Sons surety for $532,000 of bond claims paid by the surety. The payment by the Debtors of its outstanding advances and the Post Petition Services expenses are subject to the risks inherent to recovery by creditors in the Chapter 11 Cases. Woodbridge has also filed contingent claims with respect to any liability it may have arising out of disputed indemnification obligations under certain surety bonds. Lastly, Woodbridge implemented an employee severance fund in favor of certain employees of the Debtors. Employees who received funds as part of this program as of June 30, 2008, which totaled approximately $3.0 million as of that date, have assigned their unsecured claims to Woodbridge. It is highly unlikely that Woodbridge will recover these or any other amounts associated with its unsecured claims against the Debtors. Further, the Debtors have asserted certain claims against Woodbridge, including an entitlement to a portion of any federal tax refund which Woodbridge may receive as a consequence of losses experienced at Levitt and Sons in prior periods.
          On June 27, 2008, Woodbridge entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with the Debtors and the Joint Committee of Unsecured Creditors appointed in the Chapter 11 Cases. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, among other things, (i) Woodbridge has agreed to pay to the Debtors’ bankruptcy estates the sum of $12.5 million plus accrued interest from May 22, 2008 through the date of payment, (ii) Woodbridge has agreed to waive and release substantially all of the claims it has against the Debtors, including its administrative expense claims through July 2008, and (iii) the Debtors (joined by the Joint Committee of Unsecured Creditors) have agreed to waive and release any claims they may have against Woodbridge and its affiliates. The Settlement Agreement is subject to a number of conditions, including the approval of the Bankruptcy Court. There is no assurance that the Settlement Agreement will be approved or the transactions contemplated by it completed. Upon such approval, if any, Woodbridge will make payments in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Settlement Agreement, recognize the cost of settlement and reverse the related liability into income.
          Since Levitt and Sons’ results are no longer consolidated with Woodbridge’s results, and Woodbridge believes it is not probable that it will be obligated to fund further losses related to its investment in Levitt and Sons, any material uncertainties related to Levitt and Sons’ ongoing operations are not expected to impact Woodbridge’s future financial results other than in connection with Woodbridge’s contractual obligations to third parties and payment of the settlement amount.
          Certain of the Debtor subsidiaries of Levitt and Sons have been provided with post-petition financing (“DIP Loans”) from a third-party lender (the “DIP

39


Table of Contents

Lender”) which had financed such Debtors’ projects. Under the agreements for the DIP Loans, the DIP Loans are to be used for (i) the reimbursement of the DIP Lender’s costs and fees, (ii) the costs of managing and safeguarding the projects, (iii) the costs of making the projects ready for sale, (iv) the costs to complete the projects, (v) the general working capital needs of the Debtors related to the projects and (vi) such other costs and expenses related to the DIP Loans or the projects as the DIP Lender may elect. The Bankruptcy Court’s order approving the DIP Loans also approved the sales of homes in the projects with the net proceeds from such sales being applied towards the DIP Loans. The order also appointed a Chief Administrator to manage and supervise all administrative functions of these Debtors related to the projects in accordance with the scope of authority set forth in the DIP Loan agreements. These projects represent 87.5% of total assets, 66.1% of total liabilities and 35.1% of the shareholders deficit of Levitt and Sons at June 30, 2008.
          During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, the DIP Loans financed construction and development activities, and selling, general and administrative expenses related to the projects, as well as the costs, fees and other expenses of the DIP Lender, including interest expense. Additionally, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, homes in the projects have been sold and closed, resulting in the receipt by the Debtors of sales proceeds. The Chief Administrator is maintaining the accounting records for these transactions in accordance with the DIP Loan agreements and as a result, financial information is not available to Woodbridge which could be used to record these transactions in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States on a basis consistent with Woodbridge’s accounting for similar transactions. Accordingly, these transactions have not been reflected in the financial information for Levitt and Sons included in this footnote. However, as described herein, due to the deconsolidation of Levitt and Sons from Woodbridge’s statements of financial condition and results of operations as of November 9, 2007, these transactions, and the omission of the results of these transactions, will not have an impact on Woodbridge’s financial condition or operating results.

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

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

Critical Accounting Policies
          Management views critical accounting policies as accounting policies that are important to the understanding of our financial statements and also involve estimates and judgments about inherently uncertain matters. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated statements of financial condition and assumptions that affect the recognition of income and expenses on the consolidated statement of operations for the periods presented. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in subsequent periods relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, evaluation of goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment, the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosure or in satisfaction of loans, the valuation of real estate held for development and sale and its impairment reserves, revenue and cost recognition on percent complete projects, estimated costs to complete construction, the valuation of investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries, the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities in the application of the purchase method of accounting, accounting for deferred tax asset valuation allowance, accounting for uncertain tax positions, accounting for contingencies, and assumptions used in the valuation of stock based compensation. The ten accounting policies that we have identified as critical accounting policies are: (i) allowance for loan losses; (ii) valuation of securities as well as the determination of other-than-temporary declines in value; (iii) impairment of goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets; (iv) impairment of long-lived assets; (v) accounting for business combinations; (vi) the valuation of real estate held for development and sale; (vii) the valuation of unconsolidated subsidiaries; (viii) accounting for deferred tax asset valuation allowance; (ix) accounting for contingencies; and (x) accounting for share-based compensation.

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

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

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

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

BFC Activities
Funds were primarily utilized by BFC to:
    Pay dividends on the Company’s 5% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock; and
 
    Fund BFC’s operating and general and administrative expenses, including shared services costs.
          The increase in cash used in operating activities during 2008 compared to 2007 was primarily the result of a decline in cash flow associated with lower BFC/CCC advisory fees and higher bonus expense at BFC/CCC associated with the sale of its indirect membership interests in limited liability companies.
          The decline in cash provided by investing activities during 2008 compared to 2007 was due primarily to the sale of equity securities in 2007 for approximately $1.3 million, partially offset in 2008 by the distribution of a venture partnership of approximately $533,000.
          The increase in cash used in financing activities during 2008 compared to 2007 was due to the payments of the Company’s 5% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock dividends in both years with an offset in 2007 related to the exercise of stock option receipts.
          On October 24, 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to 1,750,000 shares of its common stock at an aggregate cost of no more than $10.0 million. The timing and amount of repurchases, if any, will depend on market conditions, share price, trading volume and other factors, and there is no assurance that the Company will repurchase shares during any period. No termination date was set for the repurchase program. It is anticipated that any share repurchases would be funded through existing cash balances. No shares to date were repurchased under this program.
          BFC expects to meet its short-term liquidity requirements generally through existing cash balances and cash dividends from Benihana. The Company expects to meet its long-term liquidity requirements through the foregoing, as well as long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness, and future issuances of equity and/or debt securities.
          The declaration and payment of dividends and the ability of BankAtlantic Bancorp to meet its debt service obligations will depend upon the results of operations, financial condition and cash requirements of BankAtlantic Bancorp, and the ability of BankAtlantic to pay dividends to BankAtlantic Bancorp. The ability of BankAtlantic to pay dividends or make other distributions to BankAtlantic Bancorp is subject to regulations and Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”) approval and is based upon BankAtlantic’s regulatory capital levels and net income. Because BankAtlantic had an accumulated deficit for 2006 and 2007, BankAtlantic is required to file an application seeking OTS approval prior to the payment of dividends to BankAtlantic Bancorp. While the OTS has approved dividends to date, the OTS would likely not approve any distribution that would cause BankAtlantic to fail to meet its capital requirements or if the OTS believes that a capital distribution by BankAtlantic constitutes an unsafe or unsound action or practice; there is no assurance that the OTS will approve future capital distributions from BankAtlantic. At June 30, 2008, BankAtlantic met all applicable liquidity and regulatory capital requirements. While there is no assurance that BankAtlantic Bancorp will pay dividends in the future, BankAtlantic Bancorp has paid a regular quarterly dividend to holders of its Common Stock since August 1993. BankAtlantic Bancorp currently pays a quarterly dividend of $0.005 per share on its Class A and Class B Common Stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company received approximately $132,000 in dividends from BankAtlantic Bancorp.
          Woodbridge began paying quarterly dividends to its shareholders in July 2004 and continued paying dividends of $0.02 per share on its Class A and Class B Common Stock through the first quarter of 2007. The Company received approximately $66,000 in 2007. Woodbridge has not paid any dividends since the first quarter of 2007, and the Company does not anticipate that it will receive additional dividends from Woodbridge for the foreseeable future. Any future dividends are subject to approval by Woodbridge’s Board of Directors and will depend upon, among other factors, Woodbridge’s results of operations and financial condition.
          The Company owns 800,000 shares of Benihana Series B Convertible Preferred Stock that it purchased for $25.00 per share. The Company has the right to receive cumulative quarterly dividends at an annual rate equal to 5% or $1.25 per share, payable on the last day of each calendar quarter. It is anticipated that the Company will continue to receive approximately $250,000 per quarter.

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

the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company cautions that the foregoing factors are not exclusive.
Critical Accounting Policies
          Management views critical accounting policies as accounting policies that are important to the understanding of our financial statements and also involve estimates and judgments about inherently uncertain matters. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated statements of financial condition and assumptions that affect the recognition of income and expenses on the consolidated statements of operations for the periods presented. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in subsequent periods relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, evaluation of goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment, the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosure or in satisfaction of loans, the amount of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, accounting for uncertain tax positions, accounting for contingencies, and assumptions used in the valuation of stock based compensation. The four accounting policies that we have identified as critical accounting policies are: (i) allowance for loan losses; (ii) valuation of securities as well as the determination of other-than-temporary declines in value; (iii) impairment of goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets; and (iv) the accounting for deferred tax asset valuation allowance. For a more detailed discussion of these critical accounting policies other than the accounting for deferred tax valuation allowance see “Critical Accounting Policies” appearing in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Accounting for Deferred Tax Asset Valuation Allowance
          The Company periodically reviews the carrying amount of its deferred tax assets to determine if the establishment of a valuation allowance is necessary. If based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the Company’s deferred tax assets will not be realized, a deferred tax valuation allowance would be established. Consideration is given to all positive and negative evidence related to the realization of the deferred tax assets.
          In evaluating the available evidence, management considered historical financial performance, expectation of future earnings, length of statutory carry forward periods, experience with operating loss and tax credit carry forwards not expiring unused, tax planning strategies and timing of reversals of temporary differences. Significant judgment is required in assessing future earnings trends and the timing of reversals of temporary differences. The Company’s evaluation is based on current tax laws as well as management’s expectations of future performance based on its strategic initiatives. Changes in existing tax laws and future results differing from expectations may result in significant changes in the deferred tax assets valuation allowance.
          Based on our evaluation as of June 30, 2008, it appears more likely than not that a portion of the Company’s net deferred tax assets will not be realized. As a result of this determination a valuation allowance was required in the amount of $6.2 million and $5.5 million at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively, as it was management’s assessment that based on available information, it is more likely than not that certain State net operating loss carry forwards included in the Company’s deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, our deferred tax assets net of the aforementioned valuation allowance were $64.3 million and $32.1 million, respectively. Management believes that the Company should be able to realize the current net deferred tax assets in future years; however, if future events differ from expectations, a substantial increase or decrease in the valuation allowance may be required to reduce or increase the deferred tax assets. A change in the valuation allowance occurs if there is a change in management’s assessment of the amount of the net deferred tax assets that is expected to be realized in the future.

Consolidated Results of Operations
          Income (loss) from continuing operations from each of the Company’s reportable segments was as follows:
                         
    For the Three Months Ended June 30,
(In thousands)   2008   2007   Change
         
BankAtlantic
$   (14,059 )     10,405       (24,464 )
Parent Company
    (5,304 )     1,323       (6,627 )
         
Net (loss) income
$   (19,363 )     11,728       (31,091 )
         
For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2008 Compared to the Same 2007 Period:
          The substantial decrease in BankAtlantic’s earnings during the 2008 quarter primarily resulted from a $37.8 million provision for loan losses and $6.0 million of restructuring and impairment charges compared to a $4.9 million provision for loan losses and $1.1 million of impairment charges during the 2007 quarter. The significantly higher provision for loan losses reflects $14.5 million in commercial loan charge-offs concentrated in commercial residential real estate loans and a $14.8 million provision for loan losses relating to the consumer home equity loan portfolio. The consumer loan allowance was significantly increased during the 2008 second quarter as a result of the continued deterioration in the Florida residential real estate market and increased delinquency trends in this portfolio. The above reduction in earnings was partially offset by lower compensation and operating expenses reflecting management’s efforts to reduce non-interest expenses.
          The lower Parent Company earnings resulted from a $9.4 million provision for loan losses associated with the non-performing commercial loan portfolio held by the Parent Company’s asset workout subsidiary partially offset by improved net interest income and lower operating expenses. Non-performing loans at the Parent Company were charged down by $8.2 million and the allowance for loan losses was increased by $1.3 million as a result of reduced loan collateral values associated with declining Florida real estate market values. The improvement in net interest income primarily resulted from lower short-term interest rates during 2008 compared to 2007 as well as interest income earned on the loans held by the asset workout subsidiary.
                         
    For the Six Months Ended June 30,
(In thousands)   2008   2007   Change
         
BankAtlantic
$   (31,040 )     11,044       (42,084 )

    (12,887 )     (1,520 )     (11,367 )
         
Net (loss) income
$   (43,927 )     9,524       (53,451 )
         
For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2008 Compared to the Same 2007 Period:
          The 2008 period net loss was primarily the result of the items discussed above. BankAtlantic’s provision for loan losses was $80.7 million for the 2008 period compared to $12.4 million during the 2007 period. The decline in the Parent Company’s earnings reflects the $9.4 million provision for loan losses discussed above and a decline in gains on securities activities of $7.6 million during the 2008 period.

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

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

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

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

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

Total commercial charge-offs
$   14,501             55,092        
 
                               
          In the second quarter of 2008, we experienced reduced charge-offs in our commercial residential real estate loan portfolio compared to the first quarter of 2008 with the majority of the 2008 current quarter write-downs ($13.8 million) associated with one builder land bank loan. However, we also established $10.7 million of specific reserves during the three months ended June 30, 2008 on four commercial residential real estate loans based on updated loan collateral valuations.
          BankAtlantic’s outstanding balances in commercial residential real estate loans as of June 30, 2008 were as follows:
                 
    Number of    
(dollars in thousands)   Loans   Amount
Builder land bank loans

          We believe that if market conditions do not improve in the Florida real estate markets, additional provisions for loan losses may be required in future periods.

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

          The substantial decline in employee compensation and benefits during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same 2007 periods resulted primarily from work force reductions in March 2007 and April 2008 as well as a decline in personnel related to the implementation in December 2007 of reduced store lobby and customer service hours. In March 2007 BankAtlantic reduced its work force by 225 associates, or 8%, and in April 2008 BankAtlantic’s work force was reduced by 124 associates, or 6%. As a consequence of these

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

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

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

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

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

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

rights or debt securities. A description of the securities offered and the expected use of the net proceeds from any sales will be outlined in prospectus supplements when offered.
     On July 29, 2008, BankAtlantic Bancorp announced that it intended to pursue a rights offering to its shareholders of 50 million shares of its Class A Common Stock. As we noted at the time of the announcement, BankAtlantic’s internal capital projections indicate continued well capitalized ratios without raising additional capital even if necessary to absorb additional charge- offs. We also announced that we were considering effecting a one-for-five reverse stock split.
     On August 11, 2008, it was decided to defer the decision as to whether to proceed with an offering until after the reverse stock split is effected. In connection with whether to pursue an offering, we will again review our capital forecasts and market conditions. An announcement will be made regarding the terms, updated rights offering price and record date if a determination is made to move forward with the offering. We anticipate that the contemplated reverse stock split will be effected during the third quarter.
          Even if we raise capital in the near term, we may need to incur additional debt or equity financing in the future for operations, to maintain our capital position, and for growth or investment or strategic acquisitions. There is no assurance that any such financing will be available to us on favorable terms or at all.
          The Company’s principal source of liquidity is dividends from BankAtlantic. The Company also obtains funds through the issuance of equity and debt securities, borrowings from financial institutions, and liquidation of equity securities and other investments. The Company uses these funds to contribute capital to its subsidiaries, pay dividends to shareholders, purchase non-performing assets from BankAtlantic, pay debt service, repay borrowings, purchase equity securities, repurchase Class A common stock and fund operations. The Company’s annual debt service associated with its junior subordinated debentures is approximately $18.4 million. The Company has the right, at any time, to defer payments of interest on the junior subordinated debentures for a period not to exceed 20 consecutive quarters. The Company’s estimated current annual dividends to common shareholders are approximately $1.1 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company received $10.0 million of dividends from BankAtlantic. The declaration and payment of dividends and the ability of the Company to meet its debt service obligations will depend upon the results of operations, financial condition and cash requirements of the Company, and the ability of BankAtlantic to pay dividends to the Company. The ability of BankAtlantic to pay dividends or make other distributions to the Company is subject to regulations and Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”) approval and is based upon BankAtlantic’s regulatory capital levels and net income. Because BankAtlantic had an accumulated deficit for 2006 and 2007, BankAtlantic is required to obtain OTS approval prior to the payment of dividends to the Company. While the OTS has approved dividends to date, the OTS would likely not approve any distribution that would cause BankAtlantic to fail to meet its capital requirements or if the OTS believes that a capital distribution by BankAtlantic constitutes an unsafe or unsound action or practice; there is no assurance that the OTS will approve future capital distributions from BankAtlantic.

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

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

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

          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”) (formerly Levitt Corporation) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. We currently engage in business activities through our Land Division, which consists of the operations of Core Communities, LLC (“Core Communities” or “Core”), and through our Other Operations segment, which includes the parent company operations of Woodbridge (“Parent Company”), an investment in Bluegreen Corporation (“Bluegreen” NYSE:BXG), equity investments, currently primarily in Office Depot, Inc. (“Office Depot”), the operations of Carolina Oak Homes, LLC (“Carolina Oak”), which engages in homebuilding activities and is developing a community in South Carolina, and other investments through subsidiaries and joint ventures. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, we also engaged in homebuilding activities through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Levitt and Sons, LLC (“Levitt and Sons”). As previously described, Levitt and Sons and substantially all of its subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) on November 9, 2007. In connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, the operations of Levitt and Sons were deconsolidated from our results of operations as of November 9, 2007.
          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, including approximately five miles of frontage on Interstate 95, and Tradition Hilton Head encompasses approximately 5,400 acres. We are also engaged in limited homebuilding activities in Tradition Hilton Head through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Carolina Oak.
          Bluegreen, a New York Stock Exchange-listed company in which we own approximately 9.5 million shares of common stock, representing 31% of the outstanding common stock, is engaged in the acquisition, development, marketing and sale of vacation ownership interests in primarily “drive-to” vacation resorts, and the development and sale of golf communities and residential land.
          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 management’s expectations and involve inherent risks and uncertainties. In addition to the risks identified in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, 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 industries in which we 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 Company’s margins; the risk that the value of the property held by Core Communities may decline, including as a result of a sustained downturn in the residential real estate and homebuilding industries; the impact of market conditions for commercial property and the extent to which the factors negatively impacting the homebuilding and residential real estate industries will impact the market for commercial property; the risk that the development of parcels and master-planned communities will not be completed as anticipated; continued declines in the estimated fair value of our real estate inventory and the potential for write-downs or impairment charges; the effects of increases in interest rates on us and the availability and cost of credit to buyers of our inventory; accelerated principal payments on our debt obligations due to re-margining or curtailment payment requirements; the ability to obtain financing and to renew existing credit facilities on acceptable terms, if at all; the risk that Woodbridge may be required to adjust the carrying value of its investment in Bluegreen and incur an impairment charge in a future period if the trading price of Bluegreen’s common stock does not increase from current levels; the Company’s ability to access additional capital on acceptable terms, if at all; the risks and uncertainties inherent in bankruptcy proceedings and the inability to predict the effect of Levitt and Sons’ liquidation process on Woodbridge, as well as the potential impact of the assertion of claims against Woodbridge in connection with these proceedings, its results of operations and financial condition; equity risks associated with a decline in the trading prices of the equity securities owned by Woodbridge; the risk that creditors of Levitt and Sons may be successful in asserting claims against Woodbridge; the risks relating to the Settlement Agreement, including, without limitation, that the conditions to consummation of the Settlement Agreement will not be met, that several creditors have indicated that they intend to object to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, that the Settlement Agreement will not be approved by the Bankruptcy Court when expected, or at all and that, in the event the Settlement Agreement is approved by the Bankruptcy Court, such approval will be appealed; the risk that the proposed acquisition of 100% of Bluegreen’s common stock will not be consummated on the terms proposed, or at all; and the Company’s success at managing the risks involved in the foregoing. Many of these factors are beyond the Company’s control. The Company cautions that the foregoing factors are not exclusive.

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

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

          In addition, the overall slowdown in the homebuilding market continues to have a negative effect on demand for residential land in our Land Division which was partially mitigated by increased commercial leasing revenue. While traffic at the Tradition, Florida information center slowed from prior years reflecting the overall slowdown in the Florida homebuilding market, it has improved since the fourth quarter of 2007. As a result of our continued Hilton Head expansion, as well as our continued expansion into the commercial leasing business, we incurred higher general and administrative expenses in the Land Division in the first six months of 2008.
Other Operations Overview
          Bluegreen, a New York Stock Exchange-listed company in which we own approximately 9.5 million shares of common stock, representing 31% of the outstanding common stock, is engaged in the acquisition, development, marketing and sale of vacation ownership interests in primarily “drive-to” vacation resorts, and the development and sale of golf communities and residential land. On July 21, 2008, Bluegreen announced that it had entered into a non-binding letter of intent for the sale of 100% of Bluegreen’s outstanding common stock for $15 per share. The letter of intent provides for a due diligence and exclusivity period through September 15, 2008. There can be no assurance that the transaction will be consummated on the proposed terms, if at all.
          During March 2008, the Company, together with Woodbridge Equity Fund LLLP, a newly formed limited liability limited partnership wholly-owned by the Company, purchased 3,000,200 shares of Office Depot common stock, which represented approximately one percent of Office Depot’s outstanding stock. These Office Depot shares were acquired at a cost of approximately $34.0 million. During June 2008, the Company sold 1,565,200 shares of Office Depot common stock for approximately $18.9 million. As of June 30, 2008, the Company owned 1,435,000 shares of Office Depot common stock with a fair market value at that date of $15.7 million. On August 4, 2008, the closing price of Office Depot common stock on the New York Stock Exchange was $6.60.
          In 2007, Woodbridge acquired from Levitt and Sons all of the outstanding membership interests in Carolina Oak, a South Carolina limited liability company (formerly known as Levitt and Sons of Jasper County, LLC), for the following consideration: (i) assumption of the outstanding principal balance of a loan in the amount of $34.1 million which is collateralized by a 150 acre parcel of land owned by Carolina Oak located in Tradition Hilton Head, (ii) execution of a promissory note in the amount of $400,000 to serve as a deposit under a purchase agreement between Carolina Oak and Core Communities of South Carolina, LLC and (iii) the assumption of specified payables in the amount of approximately $5.3 million. The principal asset of Carolina Oak is a 150 acre parcel of partially developed land currently under development and located in Tradition Hilton Head. As of June 30, 2008, Carolina Oak had 13 units under construction with 8 units in backlog.
          Carolina Oak has an additional 90 lots that are available for home construction. Based on the success of sales of existing units, we will make a determination as to whether to continue to build the remainder of the community, which is planned to consist of approximately 403 additional units.
          In 2007, our Other Operations segment also consisted of Levitt Commercial, LLC (“Levitt Commercial”), which specialized in the development of industrial properties. Levitt Commercial ceased development activities in 2007.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
          Critical accounting policies are those policies that are important to the understanding of our financial statements and may also involve estimates and judgments about inherently uncertain matters. In preparing our financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. These estimates require the exercise of judgment, as future events cannot be determined with certainty. Accordingly, actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in subsequent periods relate to revenue and cost recognition on percent complete projects, reserves and accruals, impairment reserves of assets, valuation of real estate, estimated costs to complete construction, reserves for litigation and contingencies and deferred tax valuation allowances. The accounting policies that we have identified as critical to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations are: (a)

real estate inventories; (b) investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries — equity method; (c) homesite contracts and consolidation of variable interest entities; (d) revenue recognition; (e) capitalized interest; (f) income taxes; (g) impairment of long-lived assets; and (h) accounting for stock-based compensation. For a more detailed discussion of these critical accounting policies see “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” appearing in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Investments in Unconsolidated Subsidiaries — Cost Method
          The Company’s management determines the appropriate classifications of investments in equity securities at the acquisition date and re-evaluates the classifications at each balance sheet date. The Company follows either the equity or cost method of accounting to record its interests in entities in which it does not own the majority of the voting stock and to record its investment in variable interest entities in which it is not the primary beneficiary. Typically, the cost method should be used if the investor owns less than 20% of the investee’s stock and the equity method should be used if the investor owns more than 20% of the investee’s stock. However, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has concluded that the percentage ownership of stock is not the sole determinant in applying the equity or the cost method, but the significant factor is whether the investor has the ability to significantly influence the operating and financial policies of the investee. The Company uses the cost method for investments where the Company owns less than a 20% interest and does not have the ability to significantly influence the operating and financial policies of the investee in accordance with relative accounting guidance.

The decrease in net loss primarily reflected the fact that no impairment charges were recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2008, whereas $63.0 million of

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

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

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

          Due to the nature and size of individual land transactions, our Land Division results are subject to significant volatility. Although we have historically realized margins of between 40.0% and 60.0% on Land Division sales, margins on land sales are likely to be below that level given the downturn in the real estate markets and the significant decrease in demand. Margins will fluctuate based upon changing sales prices and costs attributable to the land sold. In addition to the impact of economic and market factors, the sales price and margin of land sold varies depending upon: the parcel’s location and size; whether the parcel is sold as raw land, partially developed land or individually developed lots; the degree to which the land is entitled; and whether the designated use of land is residential or commercial. The cost of sales of real estate is dependent upon the original cost of the land acquired, the timing of the acquisition of the land, the amount of land development, and interest and property tax costs capitalized during active development. Allocations to cost of sales involve significant management judgment and include an estimate of future costs of development, which can vary over time due to labor and material cost increases, master plan design changes and regulatory modifications. Accordingly, allocations are subject to change based on factors which are in many instances beyond management’s control. Future margins will continue to vary based on these and other market factors. If the real estate markets deteriorate further, there is no

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

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

Interest incurred was lower due to decreases in the average interest rates on our notes and mortgage notes payable. Cost of sales of real estate for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007 included an insignificant amount of previously capitalized interest.
          Interest and other income decreased to $1.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008 from $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The decrease is primarily related to decreased interest income due to lower average interest rates and lower intercompany interest that was eliminated in consolidation.

For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2008 Compared to the Same 2007 Period:
          Sales of real estate for the three months ended June 30, 2008 were $635,000 resulting from the delivery of 2 units in Carolina Oak compared to no sales of real estate for the three months ended June 30, 2007. At June 30, 2008, Carolina Oak had a backlog of 8 units with a value of $2.6 million compared to no units in backlog at June 30, 2007. Other revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2008 were $251,000 compared to $142,000 for the same period in 2007.
          Cost of sales of real estate for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $587,000 compared to $1.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2007. Cost of sales of real estate for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 related to the delivery of 2 units in Carolina Oak while in the same period in 2007 was comprised of only the expensing of interest previously capitalized as no units were delivered.
          Bluegreen reported net income for the three months ended June 30, 2008 of $3.4 million, as compared to $4.1 million for the same period in 2007.  Our interest in Bluegreen’s income was $1.2 million for the 2008 period compared to $1.4 million for the 2007 period.  We currently own approximately 9.5 million shares of the common stock of Bluegreen, which represented approximately 31% of Bluegreen’s outstanding shares at each of June 30, 2008 and 2007.  Under equity method accounting, we recognize our pro-rata share of Bluegreen’s net income (net of

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

          Interest incurred was approximately $6.4 million and $5.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. While all interest was capitalized during the 2007 period, only $1.6 million was capitalized in the six months ended June 30, 2008. This resulted in interest expense of $4.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to no interest expense in the same period in 2007. The increase in interest expense was due to the completion of certain phases of development associated with the Land Division’s real estate inventory which resulted in a decreased amount of qualified assets for interest capitalization at the Parent Company level.

          Interest and other income increased to $3.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $648,000 for the same period of 2007. The increase is due to a $1.2 million gain on sale of equity securities and increased interest income based on higher cash balances in the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007 reflecting proceeds from the October 2007 rights offering.

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

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

(Woodbridge)
          In March 2008, Core agreed to the termination of a $20 million line of credit. No amounts were outstanding under this line of credit at the date of termination. The lender agreed to continue to honor two construction loans to a subsidiary of Core totaling $9.0 million as of June 30, 2008. In July 2008, Core refinanced these construction loans for $9.1 million. The terms of the new loan agreement call for a maturity date of July 2010 with a one year extension.
          Core’s loan agreements generally require repayment of specified amounts upon a sale of a portion of the property collateralizing the debt. Core is subject to provisions in one of its loan agreements collateralized by land in Tradition Hilton Head that require additional principal payments, known as curtailment payments, in the event that actual sales are below the contractual requirements. A curtailment payment of $14.9 million relating to Tradition Hilton Head was paid in January 2008. On June 27, 2008, Core modified this loan agreement. The loan modification agreement terminated the revolving feature of the loan and reduced a $19.3 million curtailment payment due in June 2008 to $17.0 million, $5.0 million of which was paid in June 2008, with the remaining $12.0 million due in November 2008. Additionally, the loan modification agreement reduced the extension term from an extension period of one year to an extension period of up to two 3-month periods upon compliance with the conditions set forth in the loan modification agreement, including a minimum $5 million principal reduction with each extension. The February 28, 2009 maturity date of the loan was not modified in the loan modification agreement.
          The loans which provide the primary financing for Tradition, Florida and Tradition Hilton Head have annual appraisal and re-margining requirements. These provisions may require Core, in circumstances where the value of its real estate collateralizing these loans declines, to pay down a portion of the principal amount of the loan to bring the loan within specified minimum loan-to-value ratios. Accordingly, should land prices decline, reappraisals could result in significant future re-margining payments.
          All of Core’s debt facilities contain financial covenants generally covering net worth, liquidity and loan to value ratios. Further, Core’s 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 Core’s debt to become due and payable prior to maturity. These accelerations or significant re-margining payments could require Core to dedicate a substantial portion of cash to payment of its debt and reduce its ability to use its cash to fund operations or investments. If Core does not have sufficient cash to satisfy these required payments, then Core would need to seek to refinance the debt or seek other funds, which may not be available on attractive terms, if at all. Possible liquidity sources available to Core include the sale of real estate inventory, including commercial properties, debt or outside equity financing, including secured borrowings using unencumbered land, and funding from Woodbridge.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
          In connection with the development of certain projects, community development, special assessment or improvement districts have been established and may utilize tax-exempt bond financing to fund construction or acquisition of certain on-site and off-site infrastructure improvements near or at these communities. If these improvement districts were not established, Core would need to fund community infrastructure development out of operating cash flow or through sources of financing or capital, or be forced to delay its development activity. The obligation to pay principal and interest on the bonds issued by the districts is assigned to each parcel within the district, and a priority assessment lien may be placed on benefited parcels to provide security for the debt service. The bonds, including interest and redemption premiums, if any, and the associated priority lien on the property are typically payable, secured and satisfied by revenues, fees, or assessments levied on the property benefited. Core pays a portion of the revenues, fees, and assessments levied by the districts on the properties it still owns that are benefited by the improvements. Core may also be required to pay down a specified portion of the bonds at the time each unit or parcel is sold. The costs of these obligations are capitalized to inventory during the development period and recognized as cost of sales when the properties are sold.
          Core’s bond financing at June 30, 2008 consisted of district bonds totaling $218.7 million with outstanding amounts of approximately $102.4 million. Further, at June 30, 2008, there was approximately $110.4 million available under these bonds to fund future development expenditures. Bond obligations at June 30, 2008 mature in 2035 and 2040.  As of June 30, 2008, Core Communities owned approximately 16% of the property subject to assessments within the community development district and approximately 91% of the property subject to

assessments within the special assessment district.  During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, Core recorded approximately $163,000 and $268,000, respectively, in assessments on property owned by it in the districts.   Core is responsible for any assessed amounts until the underlying property is sold and will continue to be responsible for the annual assessments if the property is never sold.  Accordingly, if the current adverse conditions in the homebuilding industry do not improve and Core is forced to hold its land inventory longer than originally projected, Core would be forced to pay a higher portion of annual assessments on property which is subject to assessments. In addition, Core has guaranteed payments for assessments under the district bonds in Tradition, Florida which would require funding if future assessments to be allocated to property owners are insufficient to repay the bonds.   Management has evaluated this exposure based upon the criteria in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies”, and has determined that there have been no substantive changes to the projected density or land use in the development subject to the bond which would make it probable that Core would have to fund future shortfalls in assessments.      
          In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 91-10, “Accounting for Special Assessments and Tax Increment Financing”, the Company records a liability for the estimated developer obligations that are fixed and determinable and user fees that are required to be paid or transferred at the time the parcel or unit is sold to an end user.  At June 30, 2008, the liability related to developer obligations was $3.5 million. This liability is included in the liabilities related to assets held for sale in the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition as of June 30, 2008, and includes amounts associated with Core’s ownership of the property.
          The following table summarizes our contractual obligations as of June 30, 2008 (in thousands):

(1)   Amounts exclude interest because terms of repayment are based on construction activity and sales volume. In addition, a large portion of our debt is based on variable rates.
 
(2)   These amounts represent scheduled principal payments and some of those borrowings require the repayment of specified amounts upon a sale of portions of the property collateralizing those obligations, as well as curtailment repayments prior to scheduled maturity pursuant to re-margining requirements.
          Long-term debt obligations consist of notes, mortgage notes and bonds payable. Operating lease obligations consist of lease commitments. In addition to the above contractual obligations, we have $2.4 million in unrecognized tax benefits related to FASB Interpretation No. 48 – “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB No. 109” (“FIN No. 48”). FIN No. 48 provides guidance for how a company should recognize, measure, present and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that a company has taken or expects to take on a tax return.
          At June 30, 2008, we had outstanding surety bonds and letters of credit of approximately $7.7 million related primarily to obligations to various governmental entities to construct improvements in our various communities. We estimate that approximately $4.8 million of work remains to complete these improvements. We do not believe that any outstanding bonds or letters of credit will likely be drawn upon.
          Levitt and Sons had $33.3 million in surety bonds related to its ongoing projects at the time of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases.  In the event that these obligations are drawn and paid by the surety, Woodbridge could be

responsible for up to $12.0 million plus costs and expenses in accordance with the surety indemnity agreements executed by Woodbridge. As of June 30, 2008, the $1.1 million surety bonds accrual at Woodbridge related to certain bonds which management considers to be probable that Woodbridge will be required to reimburse the surety under applicable indemnity agreements.   During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, Woodbridge performed under its indemnity agreements and reimbursed the surety $367,000 and $532,000, respectively. It is unclear given the uncertainty involved in the Chapter 11 Cases whether and to what extent the remaining outstanding surety bonds of Levitt and Sons will be drawn and the extent to which Woodbridge may be responsible for additional amounts beyond this accrual.  There is no assurance that Woodbridge will not be responsible for amounts well in excess of the $1.1 million accrual. It is considered unlikely that Woodbridge will receive any repayment, assets or other consideration as recovery of any amounts it may be required to pay.  
          On November 9, 2007, Woodbridge put in place an employee fund and offered up to $5 million of severance benefits to terminated Levitt and Sons employees to supplement the limited termination benefits paid by Levitt and Sons to those employees. Levitt and Sons was restricted in the payment of termination benefits to its former employees by virtue of the Chapter 11 Cases. Woodbridge incurred severance and benefits related restructuring charges of $816,000 and $2.0 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company paid approximately $1.2 million and $2.7 million, respectively, in severance and termination charges related to the above described fund as well as severance for employees other than Levitt and Sons employees. Employees entitled to participate in the fund either received a payment stream, which in certain cases extends over two years, or a lump sum payment, dependent on a variety of factors. Former Levitt and Sons’ employees who received these payments were required to assign to Woodbridge their unsecured claims against Levitt and Sons. At June 30, 2008, $1.3 million was accrued to be paid from this fund and the severance accrual for other employees of the Company. In addition to these amounts, Woodbridge expects additional severance related obligations of approximately $202,000 to be incurred during the remainder of 2008.

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

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