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

     In December 2009, Core Communities reinitiated efforts to sell two of its commercial leasing projects (the “Projects”) and began soliciting bids from several potential buyers to purchase assets associated with the Projects. Due to this decision, the assets associated with the Projects were reclassified as assets held for sale and the liabilities related to these assets were reclassified as liabilities related to assets held for sale in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Additionally, the results of operations for the Projects were reclassified to income from discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. On June 10, 2010, Core sold the Projects to Inland Real Estate Acquisition, Inc. (“Inland”) for approximately $75.4 million. As a result of the sale, Core realized a gain on sale of discontinued operations of approximately $2.6 million in the second quarter of 2010. See Note 5 for further information.
     On February 28, 2007, BankAtlantic Bancorp completed the sale to Stifel Financial Corp (“Stifel”) of Ryan Beck Holdings, Inc. (“Ryan Beck”), a subsidiary of BankAtlantic Bancorp engaged in retail and institutional brokerage and investment banking. Under the terms of the Ryan Beck sales agreement, BankAtlantic Bancorp received additional consideration based on Ryan Beck revenues over the two year period following the closing of the sale. Included in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations in discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $4.2 million of earn-out consideration.
2. Cumulative Effect of Change in Accounting Principle
     On January 1, 2010, BFC, Bluegreen and BankAtlantic Bancorp adopted an amendment to the accounting guidance for transfers of financial assets and an amendment to the accounting guidance associated with the consolidation of VIEs. As a result of the adoption of these accounting standards, Bluegreen consolidated seven existing special purpose finance entities (“QSPEs”) associated with prior securitization transactions which previously qualified for off-balance sheet sales treatment, and BankAtlantic Bancorp consolidated its joint venture that conducts a factoring business. Accordingly, Bluegreen’s special purpose finance entities and BankAtlantic Bancorp’s factoring joint venture are now consolidated in BFC’s financial statements. The consolidation of Bluegreen’s special purpose finance entities resulted in a one-time non-cash after-tax reduction to retained earnings of $2.1 million. No charges were recorded to retained earnings in connection with the consolidation of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s factoring joint venture.
     The consolidation of Bluegreen’s special purpose finance entities also resulted in the following impacts to BFC’s Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition at January 1, 2010: (1) assets increased by $413.8 million, primarily representing the consolidation of notes receivable, net of allowance, partially offset by the elimination of retained interests; (2) liabilities increased by $416.1 million, primarily representing the consolidation of non-recourse debt obligations to securitization investors, partially offset by the elimination of certain deferred tax liabilities; and (3) total equity decreased by approximately $2.3 million, including a decrease to noncontrolling interest of approximately $1.1 million.

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

Table of Contents

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

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

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

Table of Contents

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

     On February 28, 2007, BankAtlantic Bancorp sold Ryan Beck to Stifel. The Stifel sales agreement provided for contingent earn-out payments, payable in cash or shares of Stifel common stock, at Stifel’s election, based on certain defined Ryan Beck revenues over the two-year period immediately following the Ryan Beck sale, which ended on February 28, 2009. The contingent earn-out payments were accounted for when earned as additional proceeds from the sale of Ryan Beck common stock. BankAtlantic Bancorp received additional earn-out consideration of $4.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009. The $4.2 million of earn-out consideration is included as discontinued operations in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2009.
6. Fair Value Measurement
     Fair value is defined as the price that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. There are three main valuation techniques to measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities: the market approach, the income approach and the cost approach. The accounting literature defines an input fair value hierarchy that has three broad levels and gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).
     The valuation techniques are summarized below:
     The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.
     The income approach uses financial models to convert future amounts to a single present amount. These valuation techniques include present value and option-pricing models.
     The cost approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset. This technique is often referred to as current replacement costs.
     The input fair value hierarchy is summarized below:
     Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at each reporting date. An active market for the asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and is used to measure fair value whenever available.

17


Table of Contents

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

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

     Loans Receivable Measured For Impairment
     Impaired loans receivable are generally valued based on the fair value of the underlying collateral. BankAtlantic Bancorp primarily uses third party appraisals to assist in measuring non-homogenous impaired loans. These appraisals generally use the market or income approach valuation technique and use market observable data to formulate an opinion of the fair value of the loan’s collateral. However, the appraiser uses professional judgment in determining the fair value of the collateral or properties, and these values may also be adjusted for changes in market conditions subsequent to the appraisal date. When current appraisals are not available for certain loans receivable, judgment on market conditions is used to adjust the most current appraisal. The sales prices may reflect prices of sales contracts not closed, and the amount of time required to sell out the real estate project may be derived from current appraisals of similar projects. As a consequence, the calculation of the fair value of the collateral uses Level 3 inputs. BankAtlantic Bancorp generally uses third party broker price opinions or an automated valuation service to measure the fair value of the collateral for impaired homogenous loans in the establishment of specific reserves or charge-downs when these loans become 120 days delinquent. The third party valuations from real estate professionals use Level 3 inputs in the determination of the fair values.
     Impaired Real Estate Owned and Real Estate Held for Sale
     Real estate is generally valued with the assistance of third party appraisals or broker price opinions. These appraisals generally use the market approach valuation technique and use market observable data to formulate an opinion of the fair value of the properties. However, the appraisers or brokers use professional judgments in determining the fair value of the properties and these values may also be adjusted for changes in market conditions subsequent to the valuation date. As a consequence of using broker price opinions and adjustments to appraisals, the fair values of the properties are considered a Level 3 valuation.
     Impaired Goodwill
     In determining the fair value of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s reporting units in the test of goodwill for impairment, BankAtlantic Bancorp uses discounted cash flow valuation techniques. This method requires assumptions for expected cash flows and applicable discount rates. The aggregate fair value of all reporting units derived from the above valuation methodology was compared to BankAtlantic Bancorp’s market capitalization adjusted for a control premium in order to determine the reasonableness of the financial model output. A control premium represents the value an investor would pay above minority interest transaction prices in order to obtain a controlling interest in the respective company. BankAtlantic Bancorp used financial projections over a period of time considered necessary to achieve a steady state of cash flows for each reporting unit. The primary assumptions in the projections include anticipated growth in loans, tax certificates, securities, interest rates and revenue. The discount rates are estimated based on a Capital Asset Pricing Model, which considers the risk-free interest rate, market risk premium, beta, and unsystematic risk and size premium adjustments specific to a particular reporting unit. The estimated fair value of a reporting unit is highly sensitive to changes in the discount rate and terminal value assumptions and, accordingly, minor changes in these assumptions could significantly impact the fair value assigned to a reporting unit. Future potential changes in these assumptions may impact the estimated fair value of a reporting unit and cause the fair value of the reporting unit to be below its carrying value. As a result of the significant judgments used in determining the fair value of the reporting units, the fair values of the reporting units use Level 3 inputs in the determination of fair value.

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

     Management has made estimates of fair value that it believes to be reasonable. However, because there is no active market for many of these financial instruments and management has derived the fair value of the majority of these financial instruments using the income approach technique with Level 3 unobservable inputs, there is no assurance that the estimated value would be received upon sale or disposition of the asset or pay the estimated value upon disposition of the liability in advance of its scheduled maturity. Management estimates used in its net present value financial models rely on assumptions and judgments regarding issues where the outcome is unknown and actual results or values may differ significantly from these estimates. The Company’s fair value estimates do not consider the tax effect that would be associated with the disposition of the assets or liabilities at their fair value estimates.

     Interest bearing deposits in other financial institutions are certificates of deposits guaranteed by the FDIC with maturities of less than one year. Due to the FDIC guarantee and the short maturity of these certificates of deposit, the fair value of these deposits approximates the carrying value.
     Fair values are estimated for loan portfolios with similar financial characteristics. Loans receivable are segregated by category, and each loan category is further segmented into fixed and adjustable interest rate categories and into performing and non-performing categories.
     The fair value of performing loans is calculated by using an income approach with Level 3 inputs. The fair value of performing loans is estimated by discounting forecasted cash flows through the estimated maturity using estimated market discount rates that reflect the interest rate risk inherent in the loan portfolio. The estimate of average maturity is based on BankAtlantic Bancorp’s historical experience with prepayments for each loan classification, modified as required, by an estimate of the effect of current economic and lending conditions. Management of BankAtlantic Bancorp assigns a credit risk premium and an illiquidity adjustment to these loans based on risk grades and delinquency status.
     The fair value of tax certificates was calculated using the income approach with Level 3 inputs. The fair value is based on discounted expected cash flows using discount rates that we believe take into account the risk of the cash flows of tax certificates relative to alternative investments.
     The fair value of Federal Home Loan Bank stock is its carrying amount.
     The fair values of Bluegreen notes receivable are based on estimated future cash flows considering contractual payments and estimates of prepayments and defaults, discounted at a market rate.
     As permitted by applicable accounting guidance, the fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as non-interest bearing demand deposits, savings and NOW accounts, and money market and checking accounts, is shown in the above table at its book value. The fair value of certificates of deposit is based on an income approach with Level 3 inputs. The fair value is calculated by using the discounted value of contractual cash flows with the discount rate estimated using current rates offered by BankAtlantic for similar remaining maturities.
     The fair value of short-term borrowings is calculated using the income approach with Level 2 inputs. Contractual cash flows are discounted based on current interest rates. The carrying value of these borrowings approximates fair value as maturities are generally less than thirty days.
     The fair value of FHLB advances was calculated using the income approach with Level 2 inputs. The fair value was based on discounted cash flows using rates offered for debt with comparable terms to maturity and issuer credit standing.
     The fair values of BankAtlantic’s subordinated debentures were based on discounted values of contractual cash flows at a market discount rate adjusted for non-performance risk.
     The estimated fair values of notes and mortgage notes payable and other borrowings, including receivable-backed notes payable were based upon current rates and spreads it would pay to obtain similar borrowings and also used discounted values of contractual cash flows at a market discount rate.
     The fair value of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s mortgage-backed bonds included in notes and mortgage notes payable and other borrowings as of December 31, 2009 was based on discounted values of contractual cash flows at a market discount rate. The mortgage-backed bonds were retired during the six months ended June 30, 2010 resulting in a $7,000 loss.
     In determining the fair value of BankAtlantic Bancorp’s junior subordinated debentures, BankAtlantic Bancorp used NASDAQ price quotes available with respect to its $64.8 million of publicly traded trust preferred securities related to its junior subordinated debentures (“public debentures”). However, $250.4 million of the outstanding trust preferred securities related to its junior subordinated debentures are not traded, but are privately held in pools (“private debentures”) and with no liquidity or readily determinable source for valuation. BankAtlantic Bancorp has deferred the payment of interest with respect to all of its junior subordinated debentures as permitted by the terms of these securities. Based on the deferral status and the lack of liquidity and ability of a holder to actively sell such private debentures, the fair value of these private debentures may be subject to a greater discount to par and have a lower fair value than indicated by the public debenture price quotes. However, due to their private nature and the lack of a trading market, fair value of the private debentures was not readily determinable at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, and as a practical alternative, BankAtlantic Bancorp used the NASDAQ price quotes of the public debentures to value its remaining outstanding junior subordinated debentures whether privately held or publicly traded.

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

     Management reviews its investment portfolios for other-than-temporary declines in value quarterly. As a consequence of the BankAtlantic Bancorp’s review during 2009, the Company recognized $1.4 million of other-than-temporary declines in value related to an equity investment in an unrelated financial institution.
BFC — Benihana Investment
     The Company owns 800,000 shares of Benihana’s Convertible Preferred Stock. The Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into an aggregate of 1,578,943 shares of Benihana’s Common Stock at a conversion price of $12.67, subject to adjustment from time to time upon certain defined events. Based on the number of currently outstanding shares of Benihana’s capital stock, the Convertible Preferred Stock, if converted, would represent an approximately 19% voting interest and an approximately 9% economic interest in Benihana.
     The Convertible Preferred Stock was acquired pursuant to an agreement with Benihana on June 8, 2004 to purchase an aggregate of 800,000 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock for $25.00 per share. The shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock have voting rights on an “as if converted” basis together with Benihana’s Common Stock on all matters put to a vote of the holders of Benihana’s Common Stock. The approval of a majority of the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding, voting as a single class, are required for certain events outside the ordinary course of business. Holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative quarterly dividends at an annual rate equal to $1.25 per share, payable on the last day of each calendar quarter. The Convertible Preferred Stock is subject to mandatory redemption at the original issue price of $20 million plus accumulated dividends on July 2, 2014 unless BFC elects to extend the mandatory redemption date to a later date not to extend beyond July 2, 2024. At June 30, 2010, the closing price of Benihana’s Common Stock was $6.41 per share. The market value of the Convertible Preferred Stock if converted at June 30, 2010 would have been approximately $10.1 million.
     At June 30, 2010, the Company’s estimated fair value of its investment in Benihana’s Convertible Preferred Stock was approximately $20.2 million, which includes a gross unrealized gain of approximately $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The estimated fair value of the Company’s investment in Benihana’s Convertible Preferred Stock was assessed using the income approach with Level 3 inputs by discounting future cash flows at a market discount rate combined with the fair value of the underlying shares of Benihana’s Common Stock that BFC would receive upon conversion of its shares of Benihana’s Convertible Preferred Stock.
8. Derivatives
     During the three months ended June 30, 2010, BankAtlantic expanded its cruise ship automated teller machine (“ATM”) operations and began dispensing foreign currency from certain ATMs on cruise ships. At June 30, 2010, BankAtlantic had $6.5 million of foreign currency in cruise ship ATMs and recognized a $0.7 million foreign currency unrealized exchange loss which is included in Financial Services — other non-interest income in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations. BankAtlantic purchased foreign currency put options as an economic hedge for the foreign currency in its cruise ship ATMs. The terms of the put options and the fair value as of June 30, 2010 were as follows (in thousands, except strike price):

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Junior Subordinated Debentures
     As more fully described in Note 23 “Junior Subordinated Debentures” to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, some of the Company’s subsidiaries have formed statutory business trusts (collectively, the “Trusts”), each of which issued trust preferred securities and invested the proceeds thereof in its junior subordinated debentures. The Trusts are variable interest entities in which the Company’s subsidiaries are not the primary beneficiaries as defined by the accounting guidance for consolidation. Accordingly, the Company does not consolidate the operations of the Trusts; instead, the Trusts are accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
     On March 30, 2010, the interest rate on the securities issued by Levitt Capital Trust (“LCT”) I contractually changed from a fixed-rate of 8.11% to a variable rate equal to the 3-month LIBOR + 3.85% (4.38% as of June 30, 2010).
     On July 30, 2010, the interest rate on the securities issued by the LCT II contractually changed from a fixed-rate of 8.09% to a variable rate equal to the 3-month LIBOR + 3.80%.
     On March 30, 2010, the interest rate on the securities issued by Bluegreen Statutory Trust (“BST”) I contractually changed from a fixed-rate of 9.160% to a variable rate equal to the 3-month LIBOR + 4.90% (5.43% as of June 30, 2010).
     On July 30, 2010, the interest rate on the securities issued by BST II and BST III contractually changed from a fixed-rate of 9.158% and 9.193%, respectively, to a variable rate equal to the 3-month LIBOR + 4.85%.
16. Development Bonds Payable
     In connection with the development of certain of Core’s projects, community development, special assessment or improvement districts were established that may have utilized tax-exempt bond financing to fund construction or acquisition of certain on-site and off-site infrastructure improvements near or at these communities. The obligation to pay principal and interest on the bonds issued by the districts is assigned to each parcel within the district, and a priority assessment lien may be placed on benefited parcels to provide security for the debt service. The bonds, including interest and redemption premiums, if any, and the associated priority lien on the property are typically payable, secured and satisfied by revenues, fees, or assessments levied on the property benefited. Core is required to pay the revenues, fees, and assessments levied by the districts on the properties it still owns that are benefited by the improvements. Core may also be required to pay down a specified portion of the bonds at the time each unit or parcel is sold. The costs of these obligations are capitalized to inventory during the development period and recognized as cost of sales when the properties are sold.
     Core’s bond financing at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 consisted of district bonds totaling $218.7 million at each of these dates with outstanding amounts of approximately $173. 8 million and $170.8 million, respectively. Bond obligations at June 30, 2010 mature in 2035 and 2040. As of June 30, 2010, Core owned approximately 4% of the property subject to assessments within the community development district and approximately 91% of the property subject to assessments within the special assessment district. During the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, Core recorded a liability of approximately $66,000 and $158,000, respectively, in assessments on property owned by it in the districts. During the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, Core recorded a liability of approximately $225,000 and $317,000, respectively, in assessments on property owned by it in the districts. Core is responsible for any assessed amounts until the underlying property is sold and will continue to be responsible for the annual assessments through the maturity dates of the respective bonds issued if the property is never sold. Based on Core’s approximate 91% ownership interest in property within the special assessment district as of June 30, 2010, it will be responsible for the payment of approximately $10 million in assessments by March 2011. If Core sells land within the special assessment district and reduces its ownership percentage, the potential payment of approximately $10 million would decrease in relation to the decrease in the ownership percentage. In addition, Core has guaranteed payments for assessments under the district bonds in Tradition, Florida which would require funding if future assessments to be allocated to property owners are insufficient to repay the bonds. Management has evaluated this exposure based upon the criteria in accounting guidance for contingencies, and has determined that there have been no substantive changes to the projected density or land use in the development subject to the bond which would make it probable that Core would have to fund future shortfalls in assessments pursuant to the guarantees.

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