Adjustment to earnings per share to reflect decrease in equity					$ 500,000

[1] In accordance with the applicable accounting guidance, during the second quarter of 2012, BFC reclassified its preferred stock as a liability due to an amendment to its rights and privileges which, among other things, requires BFC to redeem shares of the preferred stock in future periods. As a result of such reclassification, the difference between the fair value of the preferred stock and its carrying amount is required to be recorded as an adjustment to paid in capital, which is added to or deducted from net earnings available to common shareholders in the calculation of earnings per share. Earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was adjusted to reflect a decrease in equity of approximately $0.5 million. See Note 11 for additional information relating to BFC's preferred stock and Note 16 for additional information relating to earnings (loss) per common share.
